Thanks everyone ! I will upload some process video showing part of how I did the hair models soon , there 's not much crazy tricks, just boring manual tweaking back & forth actually.
anyways, this 's today update !
Aresia - Base Mesh for sculpt.
um, so after a series of client works that demand so much topology and anatomy details, my eyes on articular and stuff improved a few inch. I decided to rework my basemesh from #Pisciasa a little bit, basically the detail of my old Pisciasa basemesh is good enough for sculpt, but I want to push it futher for #Aresia, I am trying to find a way to best present anatomy features while maintain nice topology, so the first step is that I need a base mesh and spitted into parts so that I can easily sculpt details on them later then determine how the topology/articular will work. The splitting method is an approach I learnt from looking at Shih Yow Hung 's brilliant works , his works are like one of my key inspiration for female form.

England have officially kick-started their World Cup 2018 preparations with a Harry Kane injury.
As per tradition, the Three Lions’ star striker limped out of a club fixture just a few months before the tournament, initiating the customary ‘race against time’ to get him fit.
Come June a half-fit Kane will be expected to spearhead an underperforming side before snarling expletives into a camera on his way off the pitch following a goalless draw with Panama.
Speaking exclusively to Football Burp, England manager Gareth Southgate admitted he could scarcely contain his excitement.
He said: “I can scarcely contain my excitement.
“When news of the Harry Kane injury filtered through, we all came down with a serious dose of World Cup fever, let me tell you.
“When you’re managing England and your centre forward gets injured in March of a World Cup year – I mean, that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?”
He added: “Anyone know if Glenn Murray uses WhatsApp?”

Mon cher Pierre Alexandre, I understand very well your desire...
Mon cher Pierre Alexandre,
I understand very well your desire for the return of the military in Haiti.
You have a lot of proud, especially for your country.
However, at this time, it will be a desaster for the haitian people/the Nation.
I'm asking, what would be the purpose of the Haitian Army?
More likely the Haitians need to focus on a well trained Police force to provide safety, respect the people's rights and direct circulation of the vehicles to make travel easier.
We do not need to bring back those thieves to remind the Haitians and the international community of the injustice, coup d'état, rape, drug trafficant and more.
Almost two decades without Haitian's military, what have been missing?
It seems that the country is better off without those illicit drugs traffickers.
I hope that you are not one of them.
Please let us know why do we need an army in Haiti?
Martelly S Idol,you need to have your rocks and...
FOR THE SAKE OF THE COUNTRY brings back the army
FOR THE SAKE OF THE COUNTRY IT TIME FOR HAITI TO HAVE AN ARMY.ITS IS A BIG SHAME HOW THIS PEOPLE DRAG ON THE ARMY...

Discussion in 'General' started by Pete J, 21 Sep 2019.
My sorting system is dependent on who many bits I have of the same colour and or type of part. For example, I only have a few of the 15 length beams, so all colours go together. 1x2 plates? SO MANY in all colours, so they get separated. Dark Red parts - not many of them, so they all go together.
One thing you really start to pick up on is the different versions of the same part. Take, for example, the humble 'Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud'. This has three variations:
Even the plates, if you look underneath them, have different mouldings. For someone as OCD as myself about Lego building, it's a minefield .
The 8880 is ready for reassembly. All the new bushes have arrived.
The AT-ST part list is getting closer to completion. I needed two of the infamous '6942 Dish 5 x 5 Scala Light Bluish Grey', but sourcing them new is VERY expensive: ~£20 new each, and typically from stores with high (i.e. >£90) minimum buy. In the end, I've gone on to Brickowl for the first time ever and bought two 'like new' for £5 each.
True, he did say this has the potential to change, but with that much lego it seems mental to me to not also sort by the number of pips long and wide.
Here comes the 8800:
Coulda sworn I used to have the 8880... musta been the last I planned to get when I first got neck deep in Lego© Technic™...
I created my first e-bay account to try and get an 8880. Tried three times, outbid each time.
Slow progress on the 8800 today:
I had to backtrack a little when I realised that the steering column universal joint would rub on a drive gear - good to correct it after 24 years!
As much as I like where Lego Technic has gone with the completely revised style of building (studless) and the larger, more complicated models, I think there was something special about these models that came out in the mid 90s. The 8880 was something that my brother and I wanted to own as teenagers but never did, and every time I see it I feel like a kid again. I finally got the model in 2004 for the princely sum of £36, an ebay bargain!
I notice that your steering/hub parts are grey - the early releases of the model had these parts in white, which is what my one had.
You did very well to get it for that price!
I've been racking my brains over this! I do remember that the set came with an updated instruction page showing the grey hub part. I'm trying to remember if the set also came with the white versions or not. I actually found this article on the 8880, which is quite interesting to read: 8880 Brickset article.
It's interesting to note other colour differences as well. The clutch wheels and steering linkages on mine are black, whereas in the official parts list, they're dark bluish grey (or dark bley, as AFOLs are wont to call it).
I got to see the life sized version at Legoland Windsor IIRC, many moons ago.
I wanted to have this done today, but a long phone call to my friend, and the fact that I'm a far more fastidious builder compared to my much younger self limited progress!
Never mind - bank holiday tomorrow!
Did Lego release a left and right hand drive version or are you modifying the build?
Yeah I paid more for 8865, which is an inferior set in many ways. I've had some amazing Technic bargains over the years, especially around the time I got this set.
In the OG set all the steering linkages and clutch Z16 gears were Old Dark Grey. As per the article, the set I had came with black ball-and-socket pins for the steering linkages. Here are a couple of crops from the picture I took before I sold the set in 2010. I can't believe how expensive it is now compared to when I bought it.
I always modify my builds to be right hand drive, unless it can't be done because there are non-symmetrical parts (e.g. 42082). Obviously it's easy to do if it's a non functional steering wheel (e.g. 42009), otherwise I take a good look at the instructions to figure out what to do. For example, the 911 only requires a 'flip' of the steering and gear flaps, whereas the Chiron has to be entirely mirrored. The Landy (42110) is a funny one, as by mirroring the instructions, you fix its wrong gear ratio!
I still think the 8865 is an important set: I would compare the 8865 to the 8880 as I would the film Alien and Aliens in that IMHO Aliens is the more entertaining (and possibly better) film, but it wouldn't have existed without the first film! I do intend to buy the parts and build it one day - it was a little before my childhood Lego days (the first time I saw one was when I was 7).
In regards to price, I keep meaning to buy two of every set, so I can sell one later on for PROFITSSS. I actually bought a second Chiron for £200 towards the end of last year, but ended up giving it to a close friend as a Christmas present.
Pah, you young whippersnappers! I had 8860 and it was AWESOME.
Haha I had 8860 as well (inherited it from a cousin), although 8865 was the flagship when I was a young lad, always on the last page of the Technic leaflets. I agree with Pete that it was an important set, introducing a very cool wishbone suspension steering system and setting a new standard in model size. I didn't actually like the look of 8880 when I first saw it, but it grew on me.
Blimey, that's going back some! I love the engines on the 8860 and 8865; something very satisfying about their blocky nature. However, I do think that the direction Lego took for Technic was necessary to allow more complexity. Ultimately, it's still just as satisfying to build the latest models.
I'm going to spend the morning finishing off the 8880, before popping out to do some half-arsed gardening. In the meantime, more information on the upcoming Lambo 42115:
A part count of ~3700 parts implies full functionality (i.e. full gearbox, suspension etc). However, there still seems to be lack of a HOG steering wheel, which I wish Lego would make a policy of adding in (as well as roll bars). I might wait for the MOC designer who did the 911 and Chiron upgrades to work his magic before I build it as he'll no doubt add it.
Used to own 8860 & 8865... both got sold for me after I moved out & left 'em behind.
Dunno why, but I'd prefer these car kits if they were double scale... and lived somewhere bigger to have them on perma-display.
Slow progress today for various reasons:

Katherine Laughon of the National Institutes of Health and her colleagues compared women who gave birth in the sixties to women who gave birth in the naughts (2002 to 2008). The more recent deliveries took about two to three hours longer. I’m sure that’s the last thing anyone contemplating bearing a child wants to hear.
The earlier births were recorded as part of a prospective study called the National Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP). In contrast, the second group was part of a retrospective study called the Consortium on Safe Labor (CSL). That means that the first group was recruited for the study before going into labor, whereas the second group was asked to remember what had happened some time after the fact. The difference isn’t necessarily that big if there are good records, but in general, prospective studies are considered to be more reliable.
There were some definite differences both in obstetrical practices and in the participants themselves that might have accounted for the change in labor lengths. Compared to the CSL women, the women in the sixties had lower body mass indexes and gave birth to smaller babies. They were far less likely to receive either epidurals or oxytocin and had one quarter as many c-sections. On the plus side, the CSL babies had higher apgar scores (a test of neonatal health).
It’s not clear whether these changes alone were responsible for the longer labors. It may have been a combination of factors or something else entirely. In any case, it’s important that doctors no longer use outmoded guidelines for deciding when it’s time to intervene in labors that don’t seem to be progressing.

Sonja Morgan tried to take The Real Housewives of New York City back to the days of The Great Gatsby with her “caburlesque” show Tuesday night, but it ended up more akin to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
“It’s not Moulin Rouge, it’s not Dita Von Teese, but it is Sonja Morgan,” Carole Radziwill, 50, said, aptly summing up the “cabaret meets soft burlesque” show Morgan hosted for the LGBT center in the Hamptons.
“It’s obvious I love my gays,” explained Morgan, 50. “I have my own way of moving very Liza Minnelli I’m gonna bring the sexy, and I’m gonna improvise.”
She did just that in her memorably wacky one-woman show, filled with strutting, dancing, wardrobe malfunctions and, well, being Sonja, which amused most of the audience save for Aviva Drescher’s new sidekick, image consultant Amanda Sanders.
“That’s what menopause looks like,” Sanders said while Morgan was on stage, after complaining about the “cheap liquor.”
“Ugh, I saw nipple.”
What she didn’t see coming was Heather Thomson, however, who called Sanders “the most ill-mannered, rudest person” before taking her on at a barbecue hosted by LuAnn de Lesseps after she mistakenly attempted to reunite Radziwill and Drescher on the heels of their Bookgate brawl.
“I have an issue,” Thomson said to Drescher, 43, after she and Radziwill began to yell in de Lesseps’s home. “Here’s your M.O.: You character-assassin everyone.”
“Don’t talk to her like she’s your child,” Sanders interjected. “I don’t like the way you speak to people.”
When de Lesseps, 48, attempted to restore order, all hell broke loose in the Hamptons.
“I don’t think you want to go down this path,” Sanders advised Thomson. “You walk away.”
She then added, “I’m going to pee, and then I’m gonna deck her.”
Thomson followed her, saying: “You wanna deck me? You might wanna stand up straight.”
So much for the Hamptons being classy.
To find out how catty things might get, tune in to The Real Housewives of New York City Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

President Donald Trump has canceled a foreign trip to manage the crisis, which is testing his vow a year ago to stop Syrian President Bashar Assad from using chemical weapons against his own people. He suggested Syria's main military ally, Russia, would "pay a price".
Calling for Mr Trump to launch strikes against the Syrian regime, Mr Rasmussen said it would be "extremely important" for the United Kingdom to join the USA in any action and claimed "military pressure can facilitate political and diplomatic solutions" in the Syria's long conflict. The evacuation deal restores Assad's control over the entire eastern Ghouta - formerly the biggest rebel bastion near Damascus. When Trump ordered airstrikes past year after a chemical weapons attack, it was a response to the use of sarin gas, which is banned by the Chemical Weapons Convention that Syria has signed.
The Sound and Picture Organization, an activist collective in eastern Syria, said that Iranian fighters and members of Lebanon's Hezbollah group have evacuated their positions in the Boukamal area, near the Iraqi border, which was recently retaken from the Islamic State group.
The punitive raid did not draw USA forces any deeper into Syria's civil war, nor did it dissuade Syria or its Russian and Iranian backers from pursuing their campaign against rebel groups.
President says all options are on the table as he weighs USA retaliation for suspected gas attack in Syria; Kristin Fisher reports from Washington. "Nobody has invested you with the authority to act as gendarmes, policemen of the world. we call on you to return to the legal fold", Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said.
Russian Federation on Tuesday vetoed a USA -drafted United Nations Security Council resolution to set up an expert body that would assign blame for chemical attacks in Syria.
If the U.S. proposal is put to a vote, it would likely be vetoed by Russian Federation.
Earlier Monday, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis took aim at Russian Federation for what he suggested was its failure to ensure the elimination of Syria's chemical weapons arsenal.
"This is basically a diplomatic set-up", said Richard Gowan, a United Nations expert at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
One senior Tory said he had been disappointed by the PM's response - saying "she should be all over this, and leading from the front".
One US official told CNN that the White House will most likely coordinate with France on a potential response, as there are concerns Prime Minister May wouldn't receive approval from the UK Parliament for strikes.
Trump is the 45th President of the United States.
The ministers "noted that worldwide investigators mandated by the UN Security Council had found the Assad regime responsible for using poison gas in at least four separate attacks since 2014 and agreed that those responsible for this attack must be held to account", the statement added.
Russian UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia accused the United States, France and Britain of stoking worldwide tensions by engaging in a "confrontational policy against Russia and Syria".
"Russia is being unpardonably threatened", Nebenzia told the meeting. "The tone with which this is being done has gone beyond the threshold of what is acceptable, even during the Cold War".
Calling the attack "horrible", Trump has pledged to respond "forcefully".
Trump said, however, that Washington was "getting more clarity" on who was responsible. He also reaffirmed his support for an OPCW investigation.
Volunteer rescue service The White Helmets, which also has links to opposition forces, said numerous victims were women and children.
Last month, a United Nations commission of inquiry released a report accusing the regime of committing war crimes in Eastern Ghouta, including the use of chemical weapons against civilians.
Gen. Yuri Yevtushenko was quoted by Russian news agencies Sunday as saying Russia was prepared to send specialists to Douma to "confirm the fabricated nature" of the reports.
His comments, reported by the state-run Anadolu Agency on Tuesday, were in response to Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov who said Monday that Russian Federation expects Turkey to bring Afrin under the control of the Syrian government.
"We are studying the situation extremely closely, we are meeting with our military and everybody else and we'll be making some major decisions over the next 24 to 48 hours".
A group of detainees arrived in Damascus overnight Monday to Tuesday after being freed by Jaish al-Islam, state news agency SANA said.

I decided to do a quick experiment using my Canon Powershot SD880 camera. I documented my flight from Burbank to Oakland this past Sunday night. I know its an everyday thing now since its been part of society since the early 20th century but its just crazy covering 350 miles in just an hour. The convenience of that versus driving a car for 5.5–6 hours between the Bay and LA.
Flight—its simply an amazing thing.
Here is the set that I compiled.
As I was trying to kill time, I was researching Quicksilver extendability other than just quick-launching apps. Yes, I know Spotlight does it from the get-go.
My search led to a Lifehacker.com article (as usual, with this kind of things) written a while back about Gina Trapani’s Top 10 Quicksilver Plugins (at the time: November 2007). One of the plugins that intrigued me to check out was the Shelf module/plugin.
Lo and behold, they’ve been featured on Wired.com’s Underwire section just recently. The article was about their music video for “Under Control”.
The dope part is that it was produced using an
“iPhone, a portable printer and a webcam.”
They performed the track in front of the webcam and printed it up into the handheld snapshots that fly by in the globe-hopping video, which hopscotches from Brooklyn to the Grand Canyon, Vegas, Hawaii and Australia at the speed of sound. They took additional shots using the iPhone, then mashed the production nightmare into an eye-tripping visual for their body-rocking song.
In other words, ApSci’s video has no video in it. No post-production either.
Very, very schneaky and creative I must say. Well done. Here’s the video.

For those that don’t know, Apple’s WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) 2009 was this past Monday morning at Moscone West, San Francisco. It’s primarily for those developing for Apple’s products (OS X, iPhone apps, etc.) but it’s also for the Apple fans out there as the Keynote usually addresses new product releases, etc.
I was tuned in, listening to Ustream’s live stream of the Keynote.1 Pretty cool as you can multitask versus having to read every new updates on a blog. Though you have to give it up though as the photos on the blog updates are more eye candy.

Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are the best two players in the world, according to Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Newly appointed Brazil captain Neymar was a headline omission from FIFA's 10-man shortlist for the body's Best awards, with Mbappe included after starring in France's World Cup success, although the teenager did not make the final three.
Neymar helped PSG to win a domestic treble in his first season after his €222million world-record move from Barcelona but they fell short in the Champions League, losing both legs in the round of 16 to Real Madrid.
PSG travel to Liverpool in their first group game of the 2018-19 campaign on Tuesday, with Neymar rested for Friday's Ligue 1 game with Saint-Etienne, a match Mbappe misses through suspension.
And while Al-Khelaifi cannot be deemed an impartial observer, he rates the attacking duo above players including Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann.
"Mbappe is already one of the best players in the world. And Neymar," PSG's president told Marca. "To be honest, I see them as the two best in the world.
"Winning the World Cup at that age and playing as Kylian has is incredible and an added value for the club. He always wants to win, like [Edinson] Cavani, [Angel] Di Maria... I think we have an incredible team.
"Of course, we have the best strikers. But there are also Cavani, Di Maria... And it is a pride, but the good thing is that this allows you to think about a long-term project. We will go for each title and we will fight because it is our obligation."
Champions League improvement is a 2018-19 goal for PSG, who have never progressed further than the quarter-finals of the competition.
Liverpool, Napoli and tournament debutants Red Star Belgrade represent a testing group, but Al-Khelaifi feels fortune could be a factor as Thomas Tuchel seeks to take PSG to the next level in Europe.
"We have a challenge, another one," he added. "We have new players, an ambitious new coach, who motivates, with a new philosophy of work, players who come to be world champions...
"But you have to focus on every game, day by day, that's the philosophy this year. And put all that together for the club.
"We also need a little more luck, believe in us, give the maximum until the end of each game because we have already seen that the Champions League comes down to details."

Kings 104, Warriors 103
Monta Ellis swooped and soared to the rim for a layup attempt, colliding with DeMarcus Cousins and falling flat on his head.
Turned out to be a Kings knockout.
Marcus Thornton scored 21 points and made several big shots late, and the Sacramento Kings rallied for a 104-103 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night after Ellis' scary fall.
''It's highly unusual,'' Kings coach Paul Westphal said of the game. ''Somehow we found a way.''
Thornton's jumper with 12.6 seconds remaining put the Kings ahead by four and sealed the victory, snapping Sacramento's two-game losing streak despite committing 21 turnovers as a team. The teams split the season series 2-2.
Of far bigger concern for the Warriors was their star guard.
Ellis momentarily laid motionless following the foul by Cousins - who also gave David Lee a bloody lip earlier in the game on an elbow - and was so woozy when he stood up that teammates had to help him balance. Ellis was helped to the locker room and sent to the hospital for further examination.
''You could just see in the look in his eyes that he no idea where he was,'' said Lee, who had 24 points and 14 rebounds. ''It's a scary moment, I've been there before, where guys assume you're fine because you're getting up but you have no idea where you're at. He kinda was going to the line because he had to shoot free throws, but he was going toward the fans.
''I was like, 'No, come on trainer, get out here. Get him.'''
The Warriors had little chance without him.
Lou Amundson was chosen by the Kings to shoot the free throws in place of Ellis, making one of two to trim Sacramento's lead to two. Then Thornton made two free throws and later a 22-foot jumper with 12.6 seconds left for the win.
''We've got two more tough games and those games are building blocks for us to see where we are,'' Thornton said. ''I credit the guys for still playing hard.''
Ellis will not travel with the team for Monday's game at Denver, marking the first contest he will miss all season. He did not speak to reporters afterward but told teammates he was feeling better.
Cousins added 15 points and 13 rebounds, and Tyreke Evans and Jason Thompson each scored 14 points for the Kings, who overcame an eight-point deficit late in the fourth quarter.
Stephen Curry had 27 points and eight assists and Dorell Wright added 19 points for the Warriors, who had won three straight. Ellis, who was already slowed by a strained right ankle, finished with seven points and four assists in 26 minutes.
''Without question. Monta playing how he's been playing, we probably have a great chance to pull this one out if he was in there,'' Warriors coach Keith Smart said.
The Kings were sloppy for most of the game but delivered when it counted.
They erased the eight-point deficit in the fourth with an 11-0 run to take a 92-89 lead. Then Curry and seldom-used reserve Jeremy Lin answered with consecutive jumpers to put Golden State back in front.
Evans followed with a 3-pointer before Thornton's driving layup gave Sacramento a 97-93 lead with a little more than 3 minutes remaining. Golden State came back within one, and then Cousins was called for a shot-clock violation.
The Warriors spoiled a chance to take the lead on the next possession, with Beno Udrih intercepting an errant pass from Curry. Thortnon followed with a jumper to put the Kings ahead by three, and then the Kings delivered the knockout blow - even if it wasn't intentional - on Ellis.
NOTES: Curry, who helped the U.S. to a gold medal in the FIBA world championships last summer, received his ring in a pre-game ceremony. ... Kings PG Evans hit the floor hard on a layup attempt in the second quarter. He was shaken up and limped off the floor after a minute, but he stayed in the game and showed no signs of being slowed. ... Warriors C Andris Biedrins missed his 12th straight game with a sprained left ankle and is not expected back for the final two games this season.

The World of Identity Theft: From Phishing Scams to Dark Web Markets
The threats associated with identity theft continue to evolve and adapt to new technologies. The volume of personal information available online, our reliance on technology and cybercriminals’ increasing sophistication combine to make identity theft a growing endeavor. What are the current trends in cyberspace and how could this threaten you or your business?
Identity theft: a growing threat with serious consequences
Cybercriminals use advanced techniques like phishing, vishing (voice phishing), malware, and social engineering to steal sensitive financial information. The dark web offers a marketplace for this stolen data. With not only the banking sector going digital there are increasing opportunities for breaches and fraud that pose significant threats to customers and institutions. Identity theft in banking can lead to severe consequences, including financial losses, damaged credit, legal issues, and emotional distress. It also burdens financial institutions with losses, penalties, and trust issues. For example, in the Czech Republic penalties for cybersecurity breaches can represent a fine up to CZK 130 mil. (approx. EUR 5.3 mil.). In the case of AML non-compliance, the fine can be as high as 10% of the annual turnover. Moreover, banks risk potential banking license forfeiture. Addressing this issue is crucial in order to protect customers and maintain the financial industry's stability and reputation.
Common types of fraud
There are several types of identity theft and new ones may emerge in the future. In general, we can divide them into 6 main areas:
- Financial identity theft - This is the most common form of identity theft, when one person uses another’s personal data for financial benefit by misusing credit card information to buy things, stealing funds from your bank account, or open a new account using your social security number and other data.
- Synthetic identity theft - This method involves creating fake identities using real people’s information like birthdates, addresses, and social security numbers, blending them to create a fake profile. This persona can be misused to apply for loans or credit cards, or commit other financial crimes.
- Criminal identity theft - This occurs when a person arrested by law enforcement uses someone else’s name instead of providing theirs. They might be able to pass this off by creating a fake ID or using a stolen ID, like your driver’s license, to show to the police. This can result in receiving a surprising court summons or having a false criminal record in the police database.
- Medical identity theft - When a criminal poses as another person to obtain healthcare services such as getting prescriptions for drugs, accessing medical services including costly surgeries, or obtaining medical devices and supplies, such as wheelchairs.
- Child identity theft - A minor’s information can be misused to commit financial fraud, like opening a new account or line of credit under the child’s name.
- Other identity theft - Other methods may include tax identity theft using your personal information. In other words, filing a tax return and getting a refund – your refund. In case of employment identity theft, identity thieves may use your information to get a job or pass a background check. Estate identity theft occurs when an ID thief uses the personal information of a deceased person to steal money or open accounts.
Several practices can be spotted not only in the banking industry. Despite phishing being the most common approach, other methods are becoming increasingly common. For example, deep fake technology is leveraged in onboarding processes to make a fake video and approach customers, employees and others. To create a deep fake video, your face and iris is crucial, as such information can improve the quality of the deep fake considerably. Therefore, one should be very cautious to whom they provide such information. Potential threats include suspicious applications from questionable owners that usually have access to your camera, or having your iris scanned directly. There are cases of projects which propose money in exchange for your iris scan. Everybody should secure their personally identifiable information (PII) when the background of the recipient is not crystal clear.
Personally identifiable information
Any information used to identify an individual, including biometrics (fingerprints, facial, voice, iris, and palm, or finger vein patterns), date of birth, driver's license number, employment information, financial data, name, personal address, or social security number (SSN), represents PII. If enough elements are exposed, it can quickly result in identity theft, making it vital that any personal information is protected from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Cybersecurity threats arise consequently with technological advancement, but it is undoubtedly the COVID period that boosted identity theft incidence. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the number of consumer complaints relating to identity theft lodged with the US FTC between 2018 and 2020 multiplied threefold to over 1.3 million reports. Despite a slump in 2022, the number is still over 1.1 million reports. The responsible approach of companies to invest in cybersecurity seemingly pays off but it is far from a desired scenario. In the case of the Czech Republic, the most common cyber-attacks are phishing (e-mails pretending to award the recipient a prize or inform them of an inheritance, suspicious messages on social media,…). Only 7% of respondents have experienced fake non-banker calls. In the case of a fake banker calls, it was only 4%. This is, however, one of the main candidates for future identity theft and thus a rising threat.
What should you or your company do to stay safe?
As you can fall into this trap quite easily, we recommend regularly checking credit card statements, using unique passwords and avoiding exposing them, tracking your email and being vigilant when it comes to downloading suspicious apps or participating in questionable projects. If you have not yet read our article on the threats linked to using the Barbie filter, read it here. At the company level, employees should be properly and regularly trained, security standards should be at a high level, and the tools that the company uses should be compliant and effective.
For data security, Trask is here to help
At Trask, we believe that data security stands as a cornerstone indispensable for nurturing robust and enduring technological advancement. We provide penetration testing and current onboarding process assessments to fight against misuse of sensitive data and avoid fraud.

Kathmandu, Nepal – The Supreme Court on Monday ordered the government to issue passports to the third gender by ammending the Passport Regulations.
A division bench of Justices Sushila Karki and Baidaynath Upadhyay ruled this responding to a petition filed by Dilu Buduja on July 25, 2011.
Buduja, a third gender and an original resident of Maygdi district, has obtained citizenship under the same category. But, when Buduja applied for a passport at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) in June the same year, the applicant mentioned ‘T’ (referring to third gender(http://ekantipur.com/en/related-news/third-gender-29558.html)) in the sex column of the application. The MoFA, however, rejected the application stating that it was incomplete. Bhujuda was the first proclaimed third gender to apply for the Machine Readable Passport (MRP) since it was introduced in December 2010.
The ministry maintained that the MRP software would not read the term ‘T’ for gender as no such feature has been added into it. Also, there are no legal provisions to issue passport s under any other categories than either male or female. The defendants in the petition included the MoFA and the Prime Minister’s Office.
The government in May last year had decided to issue citizenship certificates to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. The move follows four years after a land mark apex court verdict directing authorities to issue citizenship certificates to LGBTs. Even the Election Commission has been registering individuals under the third gender category for the purpose of voter registration.
The countries issuing passport under third gender categories include India, Bangladesh, New Zealand and Australia. Right activists have hailed the apex court judgment. “This is a victory in our long running struggle,” said Sunil Babu Panta, a third gender right activist and former lawmaker.

Despite some GOP members’ skepticism about the state of the environment, climate change continues to affect the geographically vulnerable ecology of South Florida. State politicians such as Gov. Rick Scott have circumvented the issue, denied its urgency, and even refused to acknowledge the existence of sea-level rise, worsening weather patterns, and erosion. But at the Tidally United Summit, taking place August 4 and 5, a group of archaeologists, geologists, academics, activists, and local legislators will gather at the Native Learning Center in Hollywood to discuss the impact of climate change from an angle that’s often overlooked: its effect on indigenous communities and cultural heritage.
Sara Ayers-Rigsby, director of the southeast and southwest regions of the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN), says, “Oftentimes, native communities get overlooked in these discussions... which
The Tidally United Summit, which is hosted by the chairman,
Ayers-Rigsby says she’s excited about many of the speakers who have been invited to the summit, including keynote speaker Joe Frank of the Seminole Tribe of Florida and Joanna Hambly and Tom Dawson from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, who will speak about Scotland’s Coastal Heritage at Risk project. Ayers-Risgby will present on the Florida Public Archaeology Network’s Heritage Monitoring Scouts (HMS) Florida program, a public engagement program that trains citizens how to track changes for archaeologic sites at risk from sea-level rise and erosion.
“Climate issue is a huge issue for us here [in South Florida]," Ayers-Rigsby says. "After Hurricane Matthew, I went to document archaeological sites impacted by the hurricane. It was eye-opening. There was a shipwreck that had moved a thousand feet and an early Spanish colonial well that had sunk into a shell midden, which was completely eroded after the storm. [We have to stress] the immediacy of these issues. These are not problems that will happen in 50 years; these are problems that exist now.”
She emphasizes that important pieces of history are at stake with the effects of climate change. Paul Backhouse, a Seminole tribal historic preservation officer and the director of the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki, is one of the archaeologists working on Egmont Key, a site that is at risk from shoreline erosion. The site is documented in historical records as a location where the Seminole were forcibly relocated by government authorities. Backhouse elaborates that after the Third Seminole War from 1855 to 1858, the Seminole people were taken to Egmont Key to be deported to Oklahoma. “What happened
Backhouse says he and his team had discussions with Seminole elders to think about the implications and meaning of protecting the site. “Should it be preserved? Do we want to fight to keep this place of horror? The elders decided that we want to remember this place for the youth. We have been fighting to preserve it.” But sea-level rise and erosion have been affecting Egmont Key for more than a century: half of the land mass of the site has disappeared since the 1870s, and Backhouse says that according to simulations, with a rise in the global temperature of a half-degree Celsius, the island will soon be underwater.
“This information that can shed a lot of light on this brutal situation, a very dark period in our nation’s history, is at risk of being lost," Ayers-Risby says. "[With climate change], we are losing critical historical information... With three feet of sea-level rise, we will lose over 16,000 archaeological and cultural sites... When we lose a site, we lose an opportunity to learn about the past.”
So what can citizens do to fight the effects of climate change? Both Backhouse and Ayers-Rigsby cite education, which includes events such as Tidally United that bring together leaders in the field who are taking action with a sense of urgency and immediacy. Backhouse calls citizens to action: “Become knowledgeable and become involved.”
Tidally United Summit. Friday, August 4, and Saturday, August 5, at the Native Learning Center, 6363 Taft St., #101, Hollywood; 954-254-9657; nativelearningcenter.com. Tickets cost $40 for the general public at fpan.us/projects/tidally.php and are free for tribe members with registration at eventbrite.com.

"Orange PCS the UK mobile operator have started the implementation of Pinpointers vehicle tracking solution incorporating driver identification. This latest success was achieved in competition against several other tracking companies, thereby demonstrating once again Pinpointers flexibility in providing innovative solutions, that meet customers specific requirements, at a reasonable cost.
The objective is to provide complete operational visibility so that management can enhance service efficiencies. It was imperative to Orange that the exact location of each engineer could be determined as staff did not always use the same vehicles and individual specialist skill sets varied.
By combining individual driver ID technology with vehicle tracking, Orange can identify where each engineer is at any time and determine "who is nearest" to any network service issue. Management are confident that in the case of any fault, repair time can be reduced and customer service targets improved."

I don’t know if this week’s edition of turning points should be called turning points or nails in the coffin. Redskin’s quarterback Kirk Cousin’s poor play combined with the Giants’ momentum heading into this Thursday Night game was too much for the Redskins to overcome. Just when Redskins’ fans were starting to write RGIII off, the sooner they want him healthy and behind center again. Ha ha ha, don’t be foolish guy, here are your turning point from week 4!
1st Quarter: From their own thirty-two yard line, the Redskins line up in shotgun formation and cough up the ball. Defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka sacks Cousin’s for an eight yard loss and defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins is there to recover. This is Cousin’s first drive of the game. The Giants set themselves up in prime position and tight end Larry Donnell caps off a twenty-four yard drive with a five yard touchdown score. This is Donnell’s first touchdown on the game. Josh Browns’ extra point is good!
2nd Quarter: Up 14-7, the Giants run their no huddle offense and get back to business. Quarterback Eli Manning throws over three Redskin defenders and connects with wide receiver Rueben Randle for the most precise throw on the night. This twenty-seven yard gain increased the Giants’ momentum and convinced the world they were going down the field for a score. Manning finishes the drive with a six yard touchdown pass to Donnell. This is Donnell’s third touchdown in the first half! This drive countered the Redskins first scoring drive on the night.
2nd Quarter: The Redskins drive all the way down the field to put up points before the half. Instead, they turn the ball over once again! Cornerback Trumaine McBride uses all his might to strip the ball out of tight end Logan Paulsen’s hands and the Giants recover. After what seemed to be a stalled drive before the half, Manning connects with wide receiver Victor Cruz for a twenty-nine yard pass with one second left on the clock. That play set up kicker Josh Brown for a twenty-nine yard field goal. The Giants go up 24-7 before the half and continue this type of play for the rest of the game.
Patience is a virtue. Manning is back but he was never really gone. Easy E played lights out and threw for four touchdowns and exactly 300 yards. The last time a Giant’s quarterback threw for four touchdowns was in 1962 (Y.A. Title – 7 touchdowns, 505 yards).
Donnell has yet to drop a catchable ball this season and whomever picked him up off waivers this past week in fantasy will certainly not drop him from their squad the rest of the way. The Giants are sailing high and will be looking to keep the wind in their sails next week at home versus the Atlanta Falcons. Don’t be foolish ladies and gee’s, those are your turning points for week 4!
“When you have trouble stopping the run, it’s not a formula for success. Get a punt blocked, it’s not a formula for success,” said Texans head coach Bill O’Brien. Too true Bill, too true. It’s about time Tom Coughlin can refrain from saying similar words in the post game press conference after a dreadful loss; the Giants get their first win! They have proven they are capable of finding a rhythm with their new offense by simply running the ball.
First Quarter – On the Texans’ first offensive drive, Jonathan Hankins gets going early on back to back defensive plays, tackling Alfred Blue after a gain of two yards and batting down Ryan Fitzpatrick’s pass on second and eight. The Texans come up a yard short on third down but converted a fake punt into a first down in their own territory. After an illegal use of hands penalty on the Texans, Ryan Fitzpatrick is forced into making his first mistake of the game. Prince Amukamara intercepts Fitzpatrick on an ill-advised pass to Deandre Hopkins.
Before the Giants put up points. Their defense bails out the offense on two consecutive Texans’ drives that start with great field position.
Second Quarter – With seven minutes left in the second quarter, Eli Manning puts a no huddle drive together that starts from their own seventeen yard line. Victor Cruz and Manning connect on their first touchdown of the season from twenty-six yards out and Victor Cruz celebrates with salsa. You may or may not have been eating chips.
Second Quarter, Texans’ two minute drill – On third and 19 on their own nine yard line, Ryan Fitzpatrick barely steps into his throw and into double coverage. Woops! Antrel Rolle intercepts Ryan Fitzpatrick and brings it down to the Texans two yard line. Rashad Jennings plows through the Texans defensive front and continues to tire the Texans defense out early. Rashad Jennings picks up eighty-eight yards rushing and the Giants go up 14-0 before the half.
Third Quarter – After the Texans get some momentum with seven points on the board, the Giants defense takes it right back. The Giants get revenge on Shayne Lechler for converting a fake punt into a first down earlier in the game as they block Lechler’s punt on the Texans thirty six yard line. Adding insult to injury, Lechler gets injured on the play. Punters are people too. The Giants rally around the blocked punt and cap off a short drive with a Daniel Fells nine yard touchdown. The Giants go up 27-10 and their momentum is enough to keep the Texans demoralized for the rest of the way. That is all she wrote!
The Giants travel to Fed Ex Field to take on the 1-2 Redskins in week 4. Don’t be foolish guy, those are your week 3 turning points.
By Alan Squatrito 9.14.14
If you establish trust, you can establish a rhythm. Heading into week two against the Cardinals, the Giants offensive line has given Eli Manning an average of 2.28 seconds to get rid of the ball when dropping back to pass. That’s the third least amount of time given to any quarterback in the NFL.
When you have to make quick decisions to a core group of wide receivers that are still getting accustomed to a new offensive scheme (West Coast Offense), moving the chains can become quite difficult and making mistakes becomes too easy. With a home crowd, a Cardinals defense that is lacking Karlos Dansby and Daryl Washington, and a defensive front that is a bit less disruptive than the Detroit Lions’ defensive line, the Giants were set up to be a bit more successful heading into week two.
Furthermore, if that wasn’t enough reason for the Giants to play better in week two, Drew Stanton, a quarterback who hasn’t played a game since 2010, was filling in for Carson Palmer who was scratched late. What a shame, it wasn’t; the Giants need mucho help.
Here are your top turning points for week two.
Late in the first quarter, Eli Manning gets pressured up the middle and throws off his back foot. Sam Acho intercepts Manning and brings the Cardinals their first turnover of the game. The Cardinals use the turnover to kick a field goal and go up 10-0.
After the Giants grab some momentum and gain their first lead of the game, it all goes down hill from there.
Early in the fourth quarter, Ted Ginn returns a punt for a 77-yard touchdown and baffles the Giants’ punt team. Zachary Bowman misses the tackle on Ginn and doesn’t slow him down enough for the Giants special teams to catch up. The Cardinals go up 19-14. Ted Ginn deserves an applause.
The ensuing possession, Quentin Demps fumbles the ball on the kickoff return and sets the Cardinals up for another three points.
The Giants get one last chance to get their act together but Rashad Jennings fumbles on the following drive on a swing pass. Cardinals’ defender Rashad Johnson recovers the ball and the Cardinals don’t have to travel much further to get another field goal.
Drew Stanton and the Cardinals offense didn’t have to do much to get the win at Met Life; they didn’t make any mistakes. The G-Men looked worse than they did last week and you have to scratch your head at that type of play against an offense that put up 266 total yards.
The Giants will look to rebound at home next week against the Texans.
Don’t be foolish guy, those are your top turning points for week 2.
By Alan Squatrito – 9.10.14
The more I watch Eli Manning in the ‘America Runs on Dunkin’ Commercial, the more I question his focus heading into the 2014 season. Is Easy E taking it too easy? There were multiple dropped passes by Giants’ wide receivers throughout Monday Night’s contest but not enough to consider that a significant factor to decide the game’s outcome. Eli Manning averaged 2.28 seconds to get rid of the ball against a ferocious Lions defensive front that out matched the Giants offensive line from start to finish.
Okay you revelers, here are the top turning points from week ne.
1) The Giants take the field.
2) The Lions set the tone on opening drive, third down and nine. Matthew Stafford sidesteps Giants’ defensive end Damontre Moore, which buys enough time to connect with Calvin Johnson for a sixty-seven yard score. There was a terrible misread by Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie which led to Calvin Johnson being left wide open on the play. Stevie Brown and Rodgers-Cromartie collide and lay one another out in humiliation. It took four plays for the Lions to get seven points and one play for Giants’ fans to negate changing the channel. They continued to set the tone by scoring fourteen points in back-to-back drives.
3) In the start of the third quarter Eli Manning threw a pass intended for Larry Donnell but it gets picked off by Deandre Levy and to set up Lions rookie kicker Nate Freese for his first field goal in the National Football League. Kickers are people too.
4) The Giants defense failed to get off the field on another crucial third down play in the middle of the third quarter. Golden Tate slipped behind the Giants secondary for a forty-four yard gainwhich eventually sets Lions’ Freese up for his second field goal of the day. The Lions chew up four minutes of clock and go up 20-7.
5) Eli Manning threw another interception in the third quarter on a pass intended for Victor Cruz. Manning threw a pass up for grabs, Cruz failed to put up a decent fight for the ball, and Glover Quinn intercepted the ball. This set up Stafford and Co. at the Giants nineteen yard line. The Lions drive ended with a Stafford rushing touchdown. This score mentally defeated the Giants. On the very next possession, the Giants put together their best drive of the game however, but it was too little too late.
The Lions play continued to shine as they put up another eight points. The Giants will look to regroup and get on the same page heading into week two against the Arizona Cardinals. Expect a lot more from the run game next week in their efforts to defeat the Cardinals at home. I’m Alan Squatrito, those are your turning points for week one.

There he is; holding his arms behind his back like Prince Charles, Peyton Manning walks through an anxious crowd, ready to field questions on anything and everything on his road to Super Bowl XLVIII.
What was seemingly a wild goose chase for eight months long, my quest to gain access into Media Day for Super Bowl XLVIII was finally paying off. I had a tough time believing the confirmation email I had received from the NFL event coordinators that Monday night, but with five hours left on the clock ’til the doors opened at the Prudential center, I had to say to myself,”Snap out of it, jerk!”
It was time to focus. Besides, I knew my Super Bowl coverage depended on it and that deep down inside, Peyton Manning really wanted me to be there. Yeah, right! So then, I did what any other aspiring broadcast journalist would do and started coming up with a list of questions to ask and a reliable recording device to bring with me, my cell phone!
ALMOST THERE: The Populous was the only barrier left standing in my way to gain access into Media Day as I watched commercial broadcasting crews from ESPN, Fox Sports, and Showtime receive their Media Day Passes to gain entry. “And what company are you with,” asked one of the Populous, confidently, I responded,”Big Blue United.” I held the straightest face that I possibly could as the gentleman with all the power in the world to tell me to turn around and go the heck home sized me up. Then, he logged my name along with Big Blue United into his laptop and printed out my very own Media Day Pass; BOOOM, I was in!
JUST DON’T ACT LIKE A LITTLE KID: Bright lights, advertisements, and crowd noise immediately took over my perception as I stepped foot onto the artificial turf laid before me. Various walks of life were there to observe, cover, and report the “fourth” biggest sporting event in the world and I too, was ready to do the same.
My first interaction was with retired three-time Pro Bowl and three-time All-Pro selection linebacker from the Washington Redksins, LaVar Arrington. Trotting after him, I called his name 5 times before I grabbed his attention. I picked his brain on Elvis Dumervil’s foolish decision to leave Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos last off-season to sign with the Super Bowl-Hungover Baltimore Ravens. I know what your thinking, the Broncos didn’t get the fax in time, but the reality of it is if the fax would have been sent out in time, the decision to stay with the Denver Broncos would have been based on the greater likelihood of going to a Super Bowl, not on greed. Finally, I asked LaVar for his prediction of Super Bowl XLVIII and then he skedaddled. I got the feeling he was rooting for Denver.
From there, having ‘gotten my feet wet,’ I found myself stirring up questions and conversations with Rich Eisen, Terrell Davis, Brian Billick, Marhshall Faulk, Paris Lenon, Red Bryant, Shaun Philips, Warren Sapp, Cliff Avril, Pete Carroll and you guessed it…….Peyton Manning. You can listen to all those sound bites here and my one-on-one with Peyton Manning can be viewed on Youtube here.
My favorite encounter of the day was with Brian Billick. Brian knows so much about the game of football, where its headed, and how to convey a message clearly, that I cherished his conversation the most. He seemed like he was twenty-five years old. They all seem that way, because they are all living their lives like little kids. At one point, Billick was talking about how the NFL needs to regulate safety rules to ensure the safety of its players, but then he paused and steered the conversation towards, these athletes know what they are signing up for. Of course they do! The injury for risk is the price they pay for doing what they love to do most, to play football, agreeing to terms with violence.
What I learned:
Richard Sherman was more popular than Peyton Manning. I climbed up a cameraman’s vacant step ladder to ask Richard Sherman about his strength and conditioning program/coach at Stanford, but surprisingly, his attention was a lot harder to attract than Peyton Manning’s attention. His previous outbursts on live television brought the boom and after ten minutes worth of trying to grab his attention, the cameraman came back and asked me for his step ladder back.
Check the pictures out that you take after you take them!
Russel Wilson is hard to phase. He is the real deal and if you look up his scouting report, you will belt out the biggest laugh because the only knock on him was his height and that’s why he fell to the third round in the 2012 draft. If the Seahawks lose, it won’t be because of Wilson. Observing him answering media questions told me all I needed to know about his “lazer-eye focus.”
Media Day grants you a free all you can eat buffet and guess what, you can interview a lot of players and coaches right in the cafeteria!
It’s all about will and perseverance.
Love it or hate it, plenty of media day personnel-with no idea about the game of football- had gained access into Media Day. One reporter, from a network I won’t disclose, asked Wes Welker, “So what’s it like to play football?” My jaw dropped. I suddenly felt terrible for the diehard fans who had purchased tickets for Media Day, just watching from the stands in hopes of a high five or a glance from one of their favorite players or coaches.
Marshall Faulk admits Peyton Manning is a better quarterback than Tom Brady. Yes, this is a bar room conversation, but you can talk about it for hours.
Media Day is a lot less about football than it about being in the limelight. It’s a combination of the two, but the latter outweighs the former from my experience.
I am grateful for every moment I spent at Media Day. I had a great time and got some great footage.I wanted to thank Rich Eisen for writing the book Total Access, Brendan Lee, Tom Rullis, Rich Nardo, and Ian Taubin in helping me get there. I almost forgot, this post wouldn’t be complete without a Super Bowl Prediction.
The Broncos are going to win because the majority of the world wants to see Peyton Manning win one more Super Bowl before his career comes to an end. I do believe the Seahawks are the better team, but with Von Miller in the lineup, it’s too tough to call. The Seahawks lose this one due to their lack of focus and some poor officiating.
Denver Broncos win, 27-19.

I’ll refrain from opening up this post with an obnoxious 0 and 6 knock-knock joke for all you die hard Giants fans on here. But still, I encourage you to consider the pain of a 0-16 season first before complaining about the dreadful 2013 season you are having thus far.
As easy as it might be to beat the Giants while they’re down, let’s give them some credit for trying to stand up this past TNF.
Positives @ Soldier Field:
- Brandon Jacobs didn’t fumble; he also averaged 4.8 yards per carry, a vast improvement over the 2.8 yards he averaged in week 5.
- The Giants prevented their defense from letting up 30 points, that’s a first on the season!
- Statistically, the Giants’ offensive line had their best game of the year. Rookie tackle Justin Pugh only let up one hurry in pass protection compared to six in week 5. He’s also showed a drastic improvement in terms of both run-blocking and pass-blocking over the last four weeks and is shaping up to be a quality first round selection.
- Recently acquired Panthers’ MLB, Jon Beason was a great addition to the Giants-mounting 7 stops and 11 tackles in week six. He hasn’t played a full season since 2010, but perhaps that will change in a GMEN’s uniform.
- What else? Eh, not much more. The Giants did cut their penalty yards in half from the week prior though, and made a lot less mistakes as a unit.
Now for some turning points…
- Amateur Hour – On the third play of the game, Bears’ strong side cornerback Isaiah Frey crosses the line of scrimmage undetected and Easy E ends up throwing a ball off his back foot, leading to his first interception of the game. You know better than that Eli! Luckily, that turnover didn’t cost the Giants any points.
- Spoke to Soon – Woops, Tim Jennings picked off Eli Manningon the very next drive, and the Bears got on the board for six! Eli and Matt Schaub are starting to look identical after that costly interception. Honestly, the blame should be put on Rueben Randle here; he was supposed to run a hitch route but ended up running a go route instead, foolish.
- Not Another Plax – Rueben Randle almost pulled a Plaxico Burress after a 20 yard catch taking the Giants down to the Bears fifteen yard line when he slammed the ball down in frustration without being touched down after slipping. Luckily, the officials ruled Rueben down for “giving himself up” and it was NOT a turning point of the game!
- Red Zone Mishap – In the second quarter, on 3rd and goal for the Bears, Will Hill was caught out of position attempting to undercut a ten yard pass over the middle. Brandon “Godzilla” Marshall ended up catching the pass behind him for a score.
- Not Without Hope: The Giants get a chance to upset the Bears on a late drive towards the end of the game, but Brandon Myers botches an unforgivable dropped pass that lead to another Tim Jennings’s interception and another Giants’ loss.
The Bottom Line:
The Giants had three turnovers, the Bears had zero. The Giants didn’t make plays in key situations that could have changed the outcome of the game, the Bears did. Still, the Giants appear as though they are beginning to put it all together, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they finally get their first win in week 7 against the Minnesota Vikings.
Thanks for tuning in peeps, stay classy, those are your turning points for week six.

I attended a Latin Mass this Sunday prior to the 1’o clock kickoff, but failed to understand what the pastor was preaching about. Later that afternoon, I watched Eli Manning attempt to run an offense and a similar feeling ensued: “What the heck is going on out there?!”
Three intentional grounding calls, three interceptions, and twelve penalties for 136 yards will most likely guarantee a loss for any team in the NFL. I don’t need to reiterate how frustrating it is to watch the Giants play football this season, but it is a bit surprising.
A Broken Record: Again, the Giants didn’t lose the game because of a single play. Again, the Giants didn’t lose the game because of one single play. Again, the Giants didn’t lose the game because of one single play.
You have to wonder, are the Giants sick of watching film yet on Monday’s?
Anyway, here are the top plays the Giants could have avoided but didn’t in week 5:
- Giants lead 7-6 in the second quarter: Michael Vick throws a 56 yard pass to DeSean Jackson that goes right through Trumaine McBride’s hands for a should-have-been interception. This sets up a LeSean McCoy score from one yard out.
- Giants trailing 13-6 in the second quarter: Brandon Jacobs fumbles at the 50-yard line, reminding Giants’ fans why he should have stayed let go. Forget about the disagreement to restructure a new contract deal in March, 2012 when he was originally released! This turnover sets up a Michael Vick hamstring pull and an Alex Henry field goal, count it.
- Giants down 22-21 in the fourth quarter: Eli’s attempts to avoid a sack makes the play a lot worse, putting a meatball intended for Brandon Jacobs up for grabs. Jacobs fails to pull a David Tyree from Super Bowl XLII, and Mychal Kendricks comes down with another costly interception, setting the Eagles up for a highlight-worthy touchdown grab made by Brent Celek from 25 yards out.
Giants travel to Soldier Field on a short week to take on the Chicago Bears. I’m kind of curious as to how long they can keep their losing streak going at this point.
Cheer up Giants’ fans; those are your top turning points for week 5.

Selectively edited videos are bad. Except when they aren’t.
That’s at least one of the big takeaways from the press’ disastrous promotion this weekend of bogus allegations of racism against teenagers at the March for Life. They were harassed by an elderly Native American protester, after being berated and abused by a hateful sect known as the Black Hebrew Israelites, but their situation got really bad only because of a single, selectively edited video of the incident that took place the day after the March for Life.
Forgive my eyerolling as I think back to the high standard of proof that the national media set in 2015 following the release of the undercover Planned Parenthood tapes. A court has since concluded that those tapes were kosher, but the media described them as “selectively edited” when they were released.
The video in this story, in contrast, actually was selectively edited. …
… Every single one of these stories is based on a single, shaky video that was posted to social with the caption, “ Is this how we make America great ‘again’?” The video is exactly three minutes and 44 seconds long. It begins in the middle of the March for Life incident, and it ends abruptly before the alleged confrontation has even concluded. Obviously, the video is missing crucial context. It does not capture what led up to the incident or its aftermath.
This caused certain newsrooms to jump in and get behind a story of something that didn’t actually happen, that the teens “mobbed” and “taunted” an elderly Native American.
And to think it was just a few years ago that these exact same media organizations claimed the Center for Medical Progress’ hours and hours of uncut undercover footage was “selectively edited.” This meant that the group’s claim that it had caught Planned Parenthood associates discussing the processes by which organs from the remains of aborted children can be harvested and sold (er, donated for a fee) was ultimately untrustworthy.

ABU DHABI, 2nd June, 2022 (WAM) — The Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) has announced that it’s Blue Carbon Environmental and Social Responsibility Project, in collaboration with ENGIE and Distant Imagery, has been selected among the 12 Uplink Ocean Top Innovations.
The drone technology developed by Distant Imagery for the EAD was one of the winners of the Blue Carbon Challenge, which was launched by Friends of Ocean Action, Uplink and the Mangroves Working Group. Conservation International, Coastal Oceans Research and Development – Indian Ocean (CORDIO) East Africa, REV Ocean, and GIB Asset Management were also part of the effort as supporting partners.
The Blue Carbon Challenge on UpLink recognises innovative solutions, projects, and enabling tools that can harness the potential of blue carbon markets to support environmental conservation, habitat restoration, and coastal management for people, nature, and help combat climate change.
The selected 12 UpLink Ocean Top Innovators will receive technical support and valuable connections to implement their projects.
The Blue Carbon Project involves striving to plant more than 35,000 mangrove seeds in the Mirfa Lagoon in Abu Dhabi, using highly innovative drone planting technology. This project aligns with the recent ambition by the UAE entitled the Abu Dhabi Mangrove Initiative launched by H.H. Sheikh Khalid bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Executive Office, and Prince William, Duke of Edinburgh, in February of this year.
Ahmed Al Hashmi, Executive Director – Terrestrial & Marine Biodiversity, said, “Our project was very ambitious and pioneering because it had never been done before in the region. Through using cutting-edge drone technology to plant mangroves, we are striving for high success rates for restoration.”
He added that Blue Carbon – carbon stored in aquatic ecosystems, like mangrove forests and seagrass beds – has the potential to store five times as much carbon per square foot as terrestrial ecosystems. “Through projects like ours, we will be able to reduce emissions and capture carbon in natural carbon sinks offering a transitional step to Net-Zero by 2050, which is one of the main goals of the UAE.”
“We are delighted that through our partnership with the EAD, we have evolved our drone technology. Our collective success is thanks to adoption of an ecological-led approach throughout each project phase; the seeds are dropped at the right time, tide level, soil depth, and in the perfect location, but it is nature that takes it course and makes it a success,” stated Jane Glavan, Co-founder, Distant Imagery.
Florence Fontani, Vice President Communications and Sustainability, ENGIE Africa, Middle East, and Asia, said that the project demonstrates a novel approach to rehabilitating the Emirate’s mangrove habitats using drone technology. “An effective way to mitigate the effects of climate change and restore natural habitats and biodiversity, we look forward to sharing the learnings of this first-of-its-kind project and implementing similar initiatives that will accelerate our goals towards carbon-neutrality.”
The UAE based Unmanned Aerial Vehicle environmental analysis company, Distant Imagery, developed highly accurate maps and analysed potential planting sites. Distant Imagery drones made from simple and scalable 3D-printed components, coupled with very accurate planting, can be a benchmark in mangrove restoration. Their technology can drop 2,000 germinated seeds, or 500 seedballs, in ten minutes.
