Bear Security – Security News for Week of June 19th, 2021
These are the stories that relate to our careers, clients, and businesses in the cybersecurity world for the Week of June 12th, 2021. Watch this in video form over on YouTube, or you can listen on the go with the Bear Security podcast.
7-Year-Old Privilege Escalation Bug in Linux Patched
The Register is reporting that a seven-year-old privilege escalation bug that has traveled amongst different Linux distributions over the years has been patched. The bug affects the service polkit, which evaluates whether specific Linux activities require increased privileges than the ones currently available. The security researcher Kevin Backhouse who identified the bug said the flaw is surprisingly easy to exploit, but timing is an important factor in successful exploitation. The vulnerability results from the way polkit handles errors when the UID of a connection no longer exists, which in some cases, ends up defaulting to UID 0, which leads polkit to process the request as if it came from a root process.
Linux Systems that have polkit version 0.113 or later installed are at risk of this bug, such as the unstable branch of Debian, RHEL 8, Fedora 21+ and Ubuntu 20.04. It is recommended to update as soon as you can.
Security Firm COO Charged with Facilitating Cyberattack
SC Magazine is reporting the arrest of Vikas Singla, Co-Founder, and COO of Securolytics for aiding and abetting a 2018 cyberattack against the Gwinnett Medical Center in Georgia. The Department of Justice claims the attack against Gwinnett Medical Center involved disrupting phone service, disrupting network printing services, and obtaining information from a digitizing device and that it was done for “personal profit” and “commercial advantage”. In total, Singla faces more than 18 counts of violations to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, with 16 of those charges involving the same malicious act being carried out on 16 different printers. Singla is currently out on bail pending trial.

SolarMarker Remote Access Trojan (RAT) Being Distributed by Malicious PDF’s Padded with SEO Keywords
ZDNet is reporting that attackers behind the malware known as SolarMarker, are using PDF documents padded with SEO keywords to boost their visibility on search engines in an attempt to lead victims to malware on a malicious site that poses as Google Drive. SolarMarker is a remote access trojan that steals data and credentials from browsers. The malicious PDF’s have so far been stored on AWS Web Services or Google Drive, where they are indexed by search engines that process the keyword-stuffed documents, ranking them high for a particular search term. An unsuspecting user may open this document believing it relates to their search, which leads them to fake login pages on .site, .tk, and .ga along with downloading malware.
Microsoft Security Intelligence noted in a tweet that these documents have a wide range of topics, including “insurance form”, “acceptance of contract”, “how to join in SQL”, and “math answers”. This tactic isn’t exactly new for the attackers, with security firm Crowdstrike alerting to similar activity back in February. Microsoft has also recently reported seeing random files being downloaded in an attempt to evade detection.

JBS Pressed on Why They Paid Ransom
The Hill is reporting that the chairwoman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee Representative Carolyn Maloney, is pressing JBS USA to explain its reasoning for paying an $11 million dollar ransom. Included in that was a request to turn over all documents related to the ransomware attack recently suffered by JBS, and records of its communications to the REvil group. Rep. Maloney wrote in the letter, “I am deeply troubled by this and similar ransomware attacks”. JBS claimed that the ransom payment was necessary to prevent critical data from being destroyed.
Though, this may just be the start of problems for JBS, whose parent company J&F investimentos in 2020 paid a $280 million dollar fine to settle allegations that they violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act for how they acquired Pilgrim’s Pride and Swift & Co here in the United States. This situation has further reignited concerns regarding the consolidation within the agriculture sector and how attacks such as these could trigger shortages and soaring prices.
If one thing is for sure, it seems companies who are impacted by ransomware are finding themselves in even deeper waters as they fall under the microscope for their practices. We can only hope this leads to better security practices.

Altered Ledger Devices Sent to Customers to Steal Cryptocurrency
BleepingComputer is reporting that customers of Ledger have become the target of a new scam. Scammers are using data from a data breach at Ledger back in June 2020 which disclosed customer contact information, to send them replacement hardware wallets that look like a Ledger Nano X in the mail. The instructions that come with the device instruct a user to open a drive that appears after plugging the device into their computer and running the enclosed application. The application then asks for their Ledger recovery phrase to import the wallet to the new device. Meanwhile, it sends the recovery phrase to the scammers who then use it to import the victim’s wallet on their own devices to steal the cryptocurrency funds contained.
Ledger customers are advised to be suspicious of any unsolicited email, package, or text claiming to be related to their hardware devices.

Here are the Top Pet Travel Tips for taking a trip that is enjoyable for both you and your pets.
Start your trip with a healthy pet.
Check in with your veterinarian at least one week before you begin your trip to be sure your pet is healthy and all vaccinations are current.
Pack the paperwork.
Be sure to have a current health certificate, license and proof of all vaccinations. Bring along your vet’s phone number-it’s a lot easier (and cheaper) to call your vet with a non-emergency concern than to try to find a local vet who doesn’t know your pet. You can easily add your vet to your phone’s contact list. Honestly, my vet’s number is ingrained in my brain.
Wear identification at all times.
Your pet’s I.D. tags should include your name, address, and phone number, and if you are staying somewhere for a while, add a local phone number where you can be reached in case you are separated from your pet (traveling with a cell phone is a road trip necessity – add your cell phone number to your tags). Pack a recent photo or make sure you have pics of your pet on your phone, just in case. And if all possible, have your pet microchipped. Nationwide shelters, veterinarians and animal control departments check for chips. It’s a great backup for I.D. tags that can be lost.
Make sure your pet is ready to travel.
Not all pets are natural-born travelers. Acclimate your pet. Be certain that your pet is accustomed to traveling in a car. If not, try a series of shorter trips before taking a long one. Take them on short trips (10-15 minutes) to the pet store, pet-friendly restaurant or to a park for a game of fetch. Make it fun and part of your usual routine. Gradually lengthen the drives so your pet is in the car for a few hours. Try to avoid having your pet’s only car experience be a trip to the vet!
Keep your pets cool and comfortable.
While driving, if the weather is warm, use your air conditioning. Always make sure that air is being circulated frequently. When you park, find a nice patch of shade and if you have a windshield sun shade, use it. And NEVER leave your pets in the car unattended for any reason.
Plan ahead for all travel accommodations.
This is especially important during peak travel times when motels, hotels, and campgrounds fill up quickly. Many accommodations do not accept pets and some that do have only a limited number of rooms available to pet owners, and/or apply size or number restrictions.
Make sure your pet is well-trained before taking her/him on the road. Please be sure your pet has learned the basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, come, and quiet before you embark on a trip of any length. This is necessary for your pet’s safety.
Keep your pet leashed.
Many places have laws requiring this anyway, but keeping your pet on a leash is the best way to prevent runaway pets. In fact, even before you get your pet out of the car, it’s best to put him on a leash so he doesn’t leap out of the vehicle ahead of you. The only place to safely unleash your pet outdoors is in a fully enclosed pet-friendly park.
Clean up after your pet-please!
No one actually likes this task but it is necessary. The more people pick up after their pets, the more welcome pets will be in public places. Tip: Always travel with a 4-1 mix of water and white vinegar in a spray bottle to remove traces of any indoor accidents or lingering smell.
Create a traveling environment that feels like home.
This means trying to feed your pets the same food at the same time you feed her at home. Also, if you pet sleeps in a crate at home, bring it along. If he doesn’t have a crate, bring an old blanket or large towel to create a designated pet area in your sleeping quarters.
Feed your pet lightly before beginning the trip, about one third of their normal amount. Save the remainder and feed it once you’ve reached your destination.
Restrain your pet.
Use a pet harness or secured carrier. For more information on choosing the best harness or carrier, read our blog – Do you travel with your pets.
Never let your pet ride unrestrained in the back of a truck.
Don’t allow your pet to stick its head out the window.
I know your dog loves this, but this is a safety risk for them. Flying debris can get in their eyes. They could easily jump out at stops and even scarier while the car is in motion. And scarier still, there have been incidences of road rage when a dog has been thrown from a vehicle into traffic. This can all be remedied by safely harnessing or crating your dog during trips.
Every one in the car needs a break and that includes your pet. Stop at least every three hours to allow your pet to exercise and relieve itself – and you to stretch your legs. But during rest stops, never allow your pet to run loose. A pet can become lost, run into traffic, or get involved in a fight with another animal.
Never leave your pet unattended.
Don’t leave your pet alone in the car for any amount of time, especially during warm or cold weather. A car parked in the sun can quickly become overheated and shade moves. Additionally, your pet can become a target for theft. If you want to leave your car for any length of time and cannot bring your pet, leave your pet in your hotel room or contact a local kennel or veterinarian for their day rates.

Terms, Elections to March 2020 Ballot
The Fort Myers Beach Town Council held its final meeting for the next two months before roughly 25 residents on Monday morning, June 3. It discussed moving Town elections from March to November, while extending Council member terms from 3 to 4 years. Later, Council authorized the possibility of increasing the Town’s Fiscal Year 2020 Millage from 0.87 to 0.95 to explore funding projects like revitalizing Times Square or Bayfront Park as well as a new Bay Oaks Recreational Center entryway, but can still drop that during its September Budget Meetings.
Town Elections & Council Terms
Under “Public Hearings: 1st Reading of an Ordinance for Calling for Elections to Amend the Town Charter,” Council debated shifting Town elections from March to November to coincide with State & Federal dates, and to change Town Council Member terms from three to four years, so the Town will be on November ballots in even numbered years, to reduce the costs by roughly $15,000 each cycle. Council can technically do the former on its own via a Resolution but voters must approve the latter by Referendum.
Council member Rexann Hosafros said she would like Fort Myers Beach voters to decide both these matters. Council member Joanne Shamp said she was not in favor of either, noting that beach voters on several occasions defeated extending Council terms from three to four years, the last time in 2016 by roughly two-thirds of the vote. Vice Mayor Ray Murphy stated, “My big problem with our current concept is it seem like every time we turn around, there is another Town election; 2 out of every 3 years is crazy and too much, in my opinion.” “I agree with Ray,” said Council member Bruce Butcher, who added that “November is a good time for elections.”
Mayor Anita Cereceda opened Public Comment, where the Town’s two previous Mayors spoke. Tracey Gore said voters soundly easily defeated a similar proposal in March 2016, and the last time the Town changed it on its own in 2001 “that resulted in a lawsuit and a ‘Hot Mess,’ when the judge overturned the Town. The best way is to put it on the ballot and let the people decide.” Dennis Boback stated if Council implements the change on its own, the current members would have 8 months added to their terms: “You were elected to Support, Protect, & Defend the Town Charter, and the Charter says, ‘three years,’ not 3 year, 8 month terms!”
“I still feel that March is the better time for elections,” said Shamp. “Many property owners are not here August through October, the money the Town pays for those elections is not that much, and with Mail-In ballots, traffic is not an issue.” Cereceda countered, “In my opinion, elections should be in November. When beach institutions hold Candidate Forums for March elections, it is the same 25 people who show up.” “I agree,” said Murphy. “I support changing the election date to November but let voters decide the length of Council terms.”
Butcher proposed that Council place the two questions on the March 2020 ballot as one combined initiative: move elections to November, with Council members serving 4-year terms. Should that pass, the three Council members elected that day would serve 4 year, 8 month terms, to November 2024, with terms of current Council members Hosafros and Murphy extended 8 months, to November 2022. Council then unanimously placed this initiative on the March 2020 ballot.
FY2020 Tax Rate
In a discussion about next year’s town tax rate, Town Manager Roger Hernstadt presented a suggested 0.87 mills per $1,000 of assessed property values budget for Fiscal Year 2020, to produce an estimated $2.9 million, saying this is sufficient for the next year to provide “the current level of service.” This does not include any reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency from Hurricane Irma that may total as much as $400,000 with the first $130,000 to the Town in the foreseeable future. In addition to that, the Town has a 25% Hurricane Risk Fund that is more than the recommended 19% for a community like Fort Myers Beach. He reminded Council that in setting the Tentative Millage or TRIM rate (Truth-in-Millage) “you can always go back down, but you can’t go back up again.”
Hosafros said she was “hesitant to block ourselves in, though I do not want to raise taxes.” “I agree,” said Shamp. “What if we find a plan that excites the community for Bay Oaks, but we can’t do it because we locked ourselves in?” Murphy stated that “I agree as well; so what is that number?” Butcher suggested Council focus on an actual dollar figure, then staff can deduce the equivalent millage. Further discussion led Council to agree on an additional $250,000; after a break, staff stated that every additional 0.01-mill netted roughly $33,000 so a tentative rate of 0.95 would garner approximately $250,000 more. Staff can investigate project costs for items in the Strategic Plan for the next year with Council on break, for them to make their final determination in September.
“This won’t tie our hands,” said Murphy, “and we can always go down.” “It is important for people to remember right now this is not a tax increase,” added Cereceda about the tentative rate. Hosafros said “I will be brave and make the motion; you can put it in the local press that I made the motion for 0.95 mills!” “I am comfortable with this,” Shamp said. “Now people can tell us for the next few months want they want from us.” Cereceda concluded that “we do not adopt the actual millage rate until fall; this simply allows us to have budget discussions that are outside the box until then.” Council then unanimously proved the 0.95 TRIM tax rate that will appear on property owners TRIM notices mailed in August.
And The Rest
In other items, Council approved a Proclamation declaring June “Immigrant Heritage Month” by a 3 to 2 vote, with Butcher against because he sees no reason for the Town to become involved in such a national “Hot Button” topic, and Shamp against because, while it advocates “Legal Immigration,” its language does not do so more consistently. Council then unanimously approved $27,000 to Garden State Fireworks for The Fourth of July Fireworks.
Under “Public Hearings,” Council unanimously forwarded the “First Reading of the Times Square Street Performer Ordinance” to its 2nd Reading on Monday, August 5, after determining that juggling was allowable, but the selling of merchandise was not, with the exception of the three current Times Square performers who sell handmade sculptures, hats, and surfboards who this will “grandfather” in. Under “Adjustment to the Liki Tiki BBQ Commercial Planned Development” at 1821 Estero Boulevard to allow outdoor music, Council determined the application paperwork contained too many flaws and unanimously rejected the proposal to allow the owner to start over.
Under “Administrative Agenda,” Council unanimously approved the “Resolution to Update the Town’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan,” with the Town Manager to firm up the method for those who can volunteer during a crisis to help residents who need assistance. Council unanimously approved donating “Surplus Radios” to the Bonita Springs Fire Control & Rescue District after Shamp related that the Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District does not need them; and unanimously authorized $189,623 in Tourist Development Council funds to Fowler Construction for the “Newton Beach Park Restroom Renovation.”
Council unanimously approved $21,700 to Coastal Engineering Consultants to provide a conceptual design for the possible expansion of the Town Mooring Field; unanimously approved the “Special Event Permit for the 33rd Annual American Sand Sculpting Championships” while denying their request to waive the $1,290 permit fee, Town Noise Ordinance, and Open Container regulation outside the dedicated fenced-in area; and unanimously approved replacing the sidewalk between the Lani Kai Island Resort and Crescent Beach Family Park in August & September.
Under “Council Member Items,” Hosafros asked Hernstadt if the Town no longer investigates turtle lighting infractions. He said that to the best of his knowledge, the Town does, though it cancelled one evening due to a scheduling conflict, with the Town policy to work with residents and businesses with a warning first, to find a solution before issuing violations. He said it is easy now for potential violators to comply since they can purchase turtle-friendly lights at cost directly from Town Hall.
Hosafros said she would like to examine removing from the Zoning Regulations the phrase “Worship Center” from Codes governing Fort Myers Beach churches, stating that the accompanying phrase, “Religious Activities,” covers all basic services. “The way it is now, every island church is probably in violation of zoning, so this is a problem. We do not want church members protesting Council wearing t-shirts that say, ‘Unfair to Christians!’” Council will discuss this during its Thursday, June 6, “Management & Planning Session.”
Council’s next meeting is Monday, August 5, with Mayor Cereceda on an excused absence. Council moved the August Management & Planning Session to Thursday, August 15, then adjourned at 1:04 p.m.

Migration – Thematic report
12destination countries as well as transit countries, with many member coun-tries today being all three. The composition of the committee reﬂects thebreadth of government institutions charged with addressing migration con-cerns, including ministries of immigration, labour/employment, interior orhome affairs, foreign affairs, integration and others.This composition is unique in the world and, in particular, allows policy devel-opment and elaboration in the Council of Europe to take account of distinctnational migration experiences and diverse branches of government in address-ing migration and its consequences.The CDMG and its various working groups facilitate the building of relation-ships of trust and mutual co-operation with and between the operationalinstitutions and actors of the member countries.Over the last two decades, the CDMG has conducted studies, developed rec-ommendations, contributed to the elaboration of normative standards anddelineated policy guidance covering most issues of migration governance.Many of these policy lines were subsequently endorsed by the Council of Europe conferences of ministers responsible for migration affairs, thus givinga political impetus at the highest level to ensure their implementation bymember states. The evolution of policies in many member states demonstratesthat Council of Europe policy guidance has been especially relevant to shap-ing consistent national policies and to encouraging co-operation among mem-ber countries.Other bodies of the Council of Europe address migration issues. The EuropeanCommission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) is tasked with combatingracism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and intolerance from the perspective of protection of human rights; its 2008 annual seminar focused on discrimina-tion and integration regarding persons of immigrant origin. The current Councilof Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, serving in an independent capac-ity, has given particular attention to rights of migrants as a major theme underhis mandate.The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) plays an impor-tant role, particularly through its Committee on Migration, Refugees andPopulation. This committee elaborates policies for the protection of the rightsof migrants, refugees and displaced persons and the improvement of their liv-ing conditions and also proposes political solutions consistent with the human-itarian values of the Council of Europe. Recent PACE resolutions and recom-mendations are listed in the report.

Big Ten Conference play was in full swing in Week 5, with every league team in action this past weekend.
The contenders in the East division continue to separate themselves from the rest of the conference, while the West continues to be up for grabs with six programs tied for first place in the division.
These rankings are based on short-term results and momentum. They do not reflect where I expect each Big Ten program to finish in the league standings. Instead, power rankings are mostly based what each program has looked like recently.
Without further ado, let’s get started:
Last Week: 13
Week 5 result: Loss, 17-7, at Penn State
Comments: The Wildcats put up a valiant fight as a big road underdog at Penn State, but not even five forced turnovers were enough for Northwestern to pull off the upset. A lot of that is due to the fact that the Wildcats had three turnovers of their own, and their offense continues to challenge Iowa's as the worst in the conference. Northwestern might not win again this season, which makes the fact they were able to beat Scott Frost at the start of the year all the more hilarious.
Next Opponent: Wisconsin (2-3)
Last Week: 11
Week 5 result: Loss, 35-21, at Nebraska
Comments: With a tough schedule still to come, the Hoosiers will be kicking themselves for not getting the job done this weekend in Lincoln. Indiana still has its entire Big Ten East schedule in front of them, along with the annual crossover with rival Purdue. Bowl eligibility will not be an easy bar to reach after the Hoosiers coughed up a winnable game against Nebraska.
Next Opponent: Michigan (5-0)
Last Week: 14
Week 5 result: Win, 35-21, vs. Indiana
Comments: The Cornhuskers climb out of the cellar of our Big Ten power rankings after beating Indiana by two touchdowns. Few programs in America needed a victory more than Nebraska, and they got one off their bye week. With an interim head coach currently leading the way, this program is still dead in the water, but the Huskers at least showed some fight for their home fans.
Next Opponent: Rutgers (3-2)
Last Week: 9
Week 5 result: Loss, 49-10, at Ohio State
Comments: The Scarlet Knights are off to an 0-2 start to Big Ten play after escaping their non-conference schedule unscathed. If Rutgers is going to reach six wins to become bowl eligible, they likely have to win each of their next two games, because the Scarlet Knights' final six opponents will all be fairly heavily favored against them.
Next Opponent: Nebraska (2-3)
Last Week: 7
Week 5 result: Loss, 34-10, vs. Illinois
Comments: The Badgers were held to just two rushing yards, at home, against Illinois and suffered a humiliating defeat to former head coach Bret Bielema. Wisconsin looks nothing like the program that continually competed for Big Ten championship in the early 2010s, nor does it look like the program who was routinely the favorite to win the Big Ten West division. As a result, head coach Paul Chryst has been fired and the Badgers are left searching for answers with half a season still to play in Madison.
Next Opponent: Northwestern (1-4)
9.) Michigan State
Last Week: 6
Week 5 result: Loss, 27-13, at Maryland
Comments: The Spartans have lost three in a row and this past weekend's may have been the most frustrating. In the first half, Michigan State's defense could not even slow Maryland's offense, but MSU's offense did enough to keep the Spartans in the game. The script was completely flipped in the second half, as Michigan State's defense allowed just six points but their offense was shut out. Head coach Mel Tucker has routinely talked about the lack of complementary football over these past three weeks, and never was that more clear for the Spartans than on Saturday in College Park.
Next Opponent: Ohio State (5-0)
Last Week: 8
Week 5 result: Loss, 27-13, vs. Michigan
Comments: The Hawkeyes weren't able to stir up the dark magic of Kinnick Stadium this week when they hosted No. 4 Michigan. Iowa had won five of their last six home games against Top 5 opponents, but did not have the offensive capabilities to keep up with the Wolverines. The Hawkeyes' defense continues to play well, but their offense relies way too much on that defense forcing turnovers and giving them a short field. While Iowa's defense could carry them to another Big Ten West title, that offense leaves them no margin for error.
Next Opponent: Illinois (4-1)
Last Week: 12
Week 5 result: Win, 34-10, at Wisconsin
Comments: The Fighting Illini are in the thick of the Big Ten West division race after a dominant win over Wisconsin. Head coach Bret Bielema returned to Madison for the first time since departing the program in 2013 to become the head coach at Arkansas. Bielema won three Big Ten championships with the Badgers, and he's proven that he can still coach by quickly turning Illinois into a respectable program. Illini tailback Chase Brown continues to lead the nation in rushing yards, and Illinois is starting to look like the run-dominant program that Bielema built in Madison.
Next Opponent: Iowa (3-2)
Last Week: 3
Week 5 result: Loss, 20-10, vs. Purdue
Comments: The Golden Gophers were without stud tailback Mo Ibrahim against Purdue, and their offense crumbled as a result. Minnesota averaged just 1.8 yards per carry on the ground, and quarterback Tanner Morgan threw three interceptions. Depending on Ibrahim's health going forward, the Gophers are still my favorite to win the West division. But if Minnesota is THIS dependent on a player with a long history of injury problems, it could spell doom in the Twin Cities.
Next Opponent: Bye Week
Last Week: 10
Week 5 result: Win, 20-10, at Minnesota
Comments: The Boilermakers got a huge win on Saturday, traveling to Minneapolis and knocking off previously-unbeaten Minnesota. In terms of the Big Ten West division picture, this was a must-win for Purdue, who had already suffered a conference loss in Week 1 to Penn State. The Boilermakers make a big jump in our rankings as a result, and have positioned themselves nicely with a head-to-head tiebreaker over the team I consider the favorite in the division.
Next Opponent: Maryland (4-1)
Last Week: 5
Week 5 result: Win, 27-13, vs. Michigan State
Comments: The Terrapins bounced back from a close loss to Michigan a week ago, beating Michigan State by two touchdowns at home. Maryland is off to its best start in several years, and it's clear that head coach Mike Locksley has continued to improve this program each year he's been in College Park. The Terrapins still have November games against Penn State and Ohio State, but their schedule is pretty manageable beyond that. This could wind up being a very good season for the Terps, which could help Maryland win more recruiting battles in the talent-rich DMV area.
Next Opponent: Purdue (3-2)
3.) Penn State
Last Week: 2
Week 5 result: Win, 17-7, vs. Northwestern
Comments: The Nittany Lions overcame five turnovers and a pretty pedestrian day from quarterback Sean Clifford in a ten-point win over one of the Big Ten's worst teams. It was hardly a banner day for Penn State, and they drop a spot in our rankings as a result, but the Nittany Lions will battle the last two teams in our rankings for positioning in the Big Ten East.
Next Opponent: Bye Week
Last Week: 4
Week 5 result: Win, 27-13, at Iowa
Comments: The Wolverines passed their first road test of the season, surviving the horrors of Kinnick Stadium with a fairly convincing win over Iowa. Michigan led 20-0 early in the third quarter before seemingly taking their foot off the gas. More challenging tests await, but the Wolverines have handled their business so far in 2022.
Next Opponent: Indiana (3-2)
1.) Ohio State
Last Week: 1
Week 5 result: Win, 49-10, vs. Rutgers
Comments: No surprises here. The Buckeyes have definitely looked like the best team in the Big Ten over these past several weeks. However, with the way Notre Dame and Wisconsin have struggled, Ohio State's resume is devoid of any impressive victories. The Buckeyes have also yet to leave the friendly confines of the Horseshoe, but that changes this week with a road trip to East Lansing.
Next Opponent: Michigan State (2-3)

Kat lives in Wisconsin with her husband, two cats, and a thousand mosquitoes. She writes middle grade humor and horror novels, all with a fun fantastical twist. If she’s not buried in a book or pan of double fudge brownies, you can find her exploring outdoors, always on the lookout for her next idea.
My journey has been quite a long one. I made the switch from writing scripts to writing books 12+ years ago and for my very first novel, wrote a very sloppy MG mystery. Luckily, one of my writing buddies at the time recommended SCBWI to me. Without having any clue of what it was, I signed up and began attending local events.
With the help of many conferences, events, webinars, and critique partners, I slowly began to improve my craft and storytelling skills. With each novel, I felt myself getting closer, but while querying was a mixed bag, it never resulted in an agent.
So I kept writing. It wasn’t until my 7th novel (yup, 7!) that everything clicked. I got selected as a Round 7 AMM mentee, then shortly got an agent after that.
Yes, it took me 10 years and 7 manuscripts to get an agent. Writing can be an uphill battle, a trudge through a deep murky lake, an escape room with clues that all contradict each other. But I’m proof that hard work and determination can pay off. Now, I’m on submission for the very first time and am enjoying the process!
I’ve been in successful critique relations for many years and have helped my CP’s with everything from outlines, full manuscript edits, query/synopsis help, and more. Some of my critique partners have gone on to win awards and publish books.
In my day job, I’m narrative lead for a mobile video game studio and am responsible for coming up with storylines for multiple games and for providing in-depth weekly feedback to my team of writers. I love wearing my editorial hat for this and am looking forward to using some of those same editorial skills for AMM.
“Writing is the easiest thing in the world.” -said no one ever
Writing is hard. Sometimes ideas flow out of you, and sometimes they get stuck like that last bit of toothpaste that will not come out of the tube, no matter how many different ways you squeeze it.
But! You don’t have to go through it alone. I want to be there to support and encourage you. I want to be your cheerleader, your grumble buddy, your brainstorm fiend. I’ve acquired years of knowledge that I’d love to pass on to you!
I was incredibly fortunate enough to be selected as an AMM mentee for Round 7. Through AMM, I met wonderful writers, a few critique partners, and the coolest, most talented, amazing, inspiring people ever. Now, I’m looking to pay it forward. AMM is a family, and I want to welcome you into that family!
My favorites stories are those that evoke strong feelings, whether that be laughter, fear, gut-wrenching sadness, warm squishiness, awe-struck wonder, etc. I’m looking for a manuscript that has a solid MG voice and characters that I can fall in love with.
- Magical Realism/Fabulism
- Urban/Contemporary Fantasy
My preferences vary widely, so I’m open to most genres. I do enjoy contemporary stories, but I’d have to be blown away by the voice to consider it. #ownvoices and LGBTQIA stories are most welcome! As are graphic novels in any of the above genres. I will consider paranormal stories, but they’d have to be really unique.
I WILL PROVIDE:
- Edit Letter (Big Picture developmental feedback)
- Line edit (dropping notes into a Word Document)
- Skype or phone call
- Freestyle in chat
My mentoring style is very honest. If something isn’t working, I’m not afraid to say so. However, if something is amazing and working really well, I will be the first to let you know. Usually with a lot of !!! and 🙂
We’ll start with an edit letter, which will contain big picture feedback on all different aspects: character arcs, voice, plot, world building, dialogue. After you have a chance to look over the edit letter and come up with questions/thoughts/arguments, we’ll set up a video chat to talk through everything. I like to ask a lot of “but why” questions and will try to poke as many holes into the manuscript as we can before you go off and start revisions. It’s better to find the holes sooner rather than later, imo!
At the end of that chat, we’ll have a plan in place on how to best tackle revisions and any next steps after that. I will be available for questions during your revision and would be happy to assist you with your query packet and agent research.
My ideal mentee would be open to breaking apart their novel and excited to dive headfirst into revisions. I love getting into debates about feedback or hashing out revision plans, so my mentee would be up for chatting through any problem areas and brainstorming ideas together. AMM is a wonderful, supportive, and kind family, so my mentee would embrace their fellow mentees and use this as an opportunity to learn, grow, and strengthen their craft. Overall, I’d love for this to be a lasting working relationship and would want to champion you throughout your entire writing career.
Here are some things I’d like to see in my inbox:
- Books that make not only me laugh out loud, but would make a middle schooler laugh out loud too.
- Scary stuff. I will take anything from light horror to nightmare-inducing horror. I love monsters, so please send me all the monster books! Also, if you have a MG version of a Black Mirror-type story, I definitely need to read it!
- Graphic novels in any genre, from gritty to heartwarming.
- If you can comp THE WESTING GAME or have a MG version of a Tana French novel or Agathie Christie novel, I want to see it!
- Stories with strong female characters.
- Stories with wonderfully diverse casts.
- Spooky, unusual, and/or rich settings. If the setting can be considered a character, even better!
- Dragons. They are the one fantasy creature I just can’t get enough of. I do want to see unique takes on them, however, since there are already a lot of dragon stories out there.
- Stories told in a not-typical format. Non-linear, journal entries, multiple POVs, mini-stories within the big story. I like them all!
- Fun and fresh fairytale retellings.
These are just a few items that I’d like to see, but I’m open to any stories that hook me from page one and don’t let me go until the end. If you have a great voice and strong characters, I want to read it!
DO NOT SEND ME:
- Stories with fae/fairies. Just not a fan.
- Historical fiction. Unless it has a fantasy, horror, or otherwise unique take on it.
- Chosen one stories. Love this trope, but I have a book in the works with a chosen one theme, so I want to avoid anything that might be similar.
- Portal fantasies. Same deal as above. While I love portal fantasies, a WIP of mine is this genre, so looking to avoid this.
- Stories where the main theme is bullying.
- Stories where the adults solve the problems, rather than the kids.

Future-proof your mental health with an anti-inflammatory and gut-friendly diet
For happier moods you need to have a happy gut. You can have a happy gut by eating lots of anti-inflammatory foods that feed your beneficial gut bacteria. These foods are colourful vegetables, berries and fruits, beans and lentils, nuts and seeds, herbs and spices, wholegrains (preferably gluten-free), mushrooms and healthy fats. We call these prebiotic foods, meaning they are foods that feed the probiotic bacteria in your gut. The American Gut Project research found that for optimal gut microbiome diversity, we should eat a minimum of 30 different prebiotic foods a week.
It’s also a good idea to support your existing microbes with some added probiotic live bacteria from fermented foods by including into your daily diet small amounts of foods such as yogurt and kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi, kombucha or miso, among other delicious ferments, widely available in supermarkets these days.
Eating a rainbow diet high in these foods has been linked in various studies to greater happiness, better moods and mental health, psychological wellbeing and increased life satisfaction, and may be protective against depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment and dementia.
Omega-3 fats from oily fish and seafood are anti-inflammatory fats that support the structural integrity of your brain and keep your gut healthy. A study with 3,204 Finnish adults showed that the likelihood of having depressive symptoms was significantly higher among infrequent fish consumers than among frequent consumers. Having higher omega-3 status in red blood cells may also improve the response to standard antidepressant medication in depressed subjects, as shown in a study with 60 depressed adults with major depressive disorder.
Regardless of whether you are taking antidepressant medication or not, including several portions of oily ‘SMASH’ fish (salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, herring) in your weekly meals can be a great strategy to improve your brain and mental health.
And… You can also have your chocolate and eat it! A small randomised control trial found that a 30g daily intake of 85% dark chocolate reduced anxiety and depression and improved quality of life. The group that consumed the same amount of 70% chocolate did not show this benefit. Furthermore, gut microbial diversity was significantly higher in the 85% chocolate consumer group than in the control group who didn’t consume any chocolate. Dark chocolate is a prebiotic food so it feeds your beneficial bacteria, and may improve the diversity and composition of the gut microbiome. This in turn may improve mood via the gut-brain axis. So go ahead and treat yourself! Just remember it has to be the dark stuff!
Can it be done on a budget?
So now that you know what you need to eat to keep your gut and yourself happy, you might be thinking that it’s going to cost you a lot.
But it doesn’t have to!
Yes, processed foods can often be a cheaper, but if they don’t keep you full for long and will make you eat more, you are not saving money in the long run. One thing for certain is that if you start eating real food and a rainbow diet and when you prioritise a healthy balanced breakfast over cereal or toast to start your day, you will feel fuller for longer, have fewer cravings and need fewer snacks during the day. This of course is good for your purse too!
Here are some key strategies for eating healthily on a budget:
- Prioritise a healthy balanced breakfast – Always include a good amount of protein, colourful veggies/fruits and some healthy fats. You will be fueling your body well for the day ahead after a long overnight fast, and you’ll have stable energy and moods, and won’t have cravings or constant urges to snack! Sugary cereals, or toast and honey just won’t cut it as breakfast!
- Stock up your freezer, fridge and cupboards with healthy food, such as tinned beans, fish, tomatoes; jars of vegetables; frozen vegetables, berries and fish; dried beans and lentils, wholegrains such as rice, oats, buckwheat, quinoa, dried spices and herbs; eggs, tofu and miso, bagged salads, nuts and seeds…. These are all convenient and easy to use to rustle up tasty meals any time.
- Cook from scratch – Learn a few basic recipes such as stews, soups, pasta sauces, curries, traybakes and salads that include a variety of veg, cheaper cuts of meat or pulses for protein. Start batch-cooking and you will have food ready for meals for the days ahead, and it will take some pressure off your shoulders when you are busy and will save money in the long run.
- Plan ahead for the week – When you meal plan you are less likely to grab a spur-of-the-moment ready-meal or call for a takeaway. Create a 2-hour slot in your diary each week for planning your weekly meals and prepping some of them ahead.
- Eat in season (and locally grown whenever possible) – Seasonal food is often cheaper and more nutrient-rich, and always tastier in my mind. Studies also suggest that in-season consumption of foods leads to better health outcomes compared to out-of-season consumption, which may create metabolic dysregulation in the body.
- Avoid wasting food – Many people don’t use all parts of vegetables that can be eaten and are often the most nutritious and tasty. You can use cauliflower leaves, broccoli stalks, outer leaves of lettuces, the skin of squashes and fruit peel (just wash it well), to name a few. Freeze meat bones and chicken carcasses until you’ve got enough for making your own bone stock/broth for gut-healing soups and sauces. Also, if you are a meat eater, learn to eat “nose-to-tail” and cook less popular cuts of meats, like liver and other organ meats, and tougher cuts that need slow cooking. These are usually the cheapest of cuts and highly nutritious.
Healthy eating on a budget is indeed possible but does require some thought, effort and planning, but it really doesn’t have to break the bank. Start focusing on small daily/weekly healthy habits and one small change at a time, and build on that. You don’t have to do it all from the get-go. One extra vegetable/colour on your breakfast plate or one new recipe each week could be a good start.
And remember that managing your stress levels, moving your body, connecting with nature and prioritising your sleep are foundations of optimal health and crucial for gut health and mental wellbeing, and best of all, don’t cost a penny, so include more than just dietary changes in your health plan.

My final tips for future-proofing your mental health:
- Reduce or eliminate refined processed foods.
- Ensure good hydration.
- Manage your stress better.
- Chew every mouthful well.
- Choose quality over quantity when buying food.
- Count colours not calories.
- Aim for 30 different plant foods a week.
- Try some fermented probiotic foods.
- Educate your tastebuds to accept fewer sweet tastes by eating more bitter foods.
- Ensure that you are eating enough good quality protein and healthy fats.
And most of all enjoy your food!

Sunwood Retirement residents have found a way to stay connected through music, while staying physically apart.
Residence executive director Kathleen Nicholles told The News Monday that prior to physical distancing measures, residents enjoyed singing O’Canada twice a week in the facility’s dining room.
However, residents are now eating their meals in their suite, but that didn’t stop the sound of music.
“Every Friday we practice… and they come out of their rooms and stand six feet apart,” Nicholles said. “We have it taped out for them. If you see anybody standing close together, it’s couples that live together. They stand on their line and rehearse O’Canada.”
Video of the rehearsal shows the seniors waving Canadian flags and singing to a small crowd gathered blow.

Brutal pushback near Kos: 11 people attacked, robbed and then pushed back by Hellenic Coast Guard
Wed Feb 23 2022
Category: Pushback and Human Rights Violations
Number of people: 11
We receive a call from relatives of 11 travellers in the Aegean Sea. They had lost contact to the boat after they had received a GPS-location in the area of Kos in Turkish waters. We were not able to establish direct contact with the travellers.
We alert the Turkish Coast Guard by phone and by email as relatives report that the people were pushed back. The Turkish Coast Guard states that they rescued 64 people (61 Palestinian and 3 Togolese nationality) from three rubber boats off the coast of Bodrum district, Muğla Province at 07:05h CET. They could not say, if the boat we were asking for was among those rescued.
We finally manage to speak with a young woman from the boat. They are detained in Turkey and still under shock. She reported:
We were heading towards the Greek island of Kos. At eight o'clock in the morning we reached the Greek sea, and the Greek patrol found us. They searched us and took our phones and beat the young men and terrified the children and women and then they broke the engine and took us back towards the Turkish sea. We stayed at sea for about an hour and suffered from high waves before the Turkish guards came to rescue us. Our boat was carrying 11 people, all of them from Palestine.


Whistleblowing site, Wikileaks claims that the US government is mounting a dirty tricks campaign to kill off its funding.
Moneybookers, a British-registered internet payment company that collects Wikileaks donations, has told the outfit that its account had been closed because it had been put on an official US watchlist and on an Australian government blacklist.
But if the story is true then Wikileaks has sat on the information for months. According to the Manchester Guardian, the blacklisting came a few days after the Pentagon publicly fumed at Wikileaks for obtaining thousands of classified military documents about the war in Afghanistan,
Moneybookers shut down Wikileaks account on 13 August which means that the outfit sat on the information for some time before going public.
The question is why the allegations of financial warfare are being bought up now.
Moneybookers told Wikileaks that its account had been audited by its security department, we must advise that your account has been closed … to comply with money laundering or other investigations conducted by government authorities.”
Wikileaks claimed that Daniel Stromberg, the Moneybookers e-commerce manager for the Nordic region: said that the account was initially suspended due to being accessed from a blacklisted IP address.
“However, following recent publicity and the subsequently addition of the WikiLeaks entity to blacklists in Australia and watchlists in the USA, we have terminated the business relationship,” he was told.
Wikileak’s founder Julian Assange said that this is likely to cause a huge backlash against Moneybookers as “craven behaviour in relation to the US government is unlikely to be seen sympathetically.”
However Moneybookers, which is registered in the UK but controlled by the Bahrain-based group Investcorp, said it never had any request, inquiry or correspondence from any authority regarding Wikileaks. However it refused to be drawn further.
While it could all be true, the story fits into Assange’s theory that he is been personally singled out by the US Military establishment. It was these guys apparently who were behind an attempt to “smear his good name” in a sex scandal too.
Assange has been on the back foot after the sex scandal with people in Wikileaks feeling that he is paranoid and should stand down for a bit. Stories have been appearing which say that the Wikileaks staff believe that the outfit is too Assange orientated.
Assange is clearly trying to gain the high ground back again and what better to do that by dusting off an elderly allegation that the US government is trying to cut off Wikileak’s funding. It is a pity he didn’t think of that last month.

An immersive journey to the molecular structure of SARS-CoV-2: Virtual Re‐ ality in COVID-19
MetadataShow full item record
The era of the explosion of immersive technologies has bumped head-on with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome– coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The proper understanding of the three-dimensional structures that compose the virus, as well as of those involved in the infection process and in treatments, is expected to contribute to the advance of fundamental and applied research against this pandemic, including basic molecular biology studies and drug design. Virtual reality (VR) is a powerful technology to visualize the biomolecular structures that are currently being identified for SARS-CoV-2 infection, opening possibilities to significant advances in the understanding of the disease-associate mechanisms and thus to boost new therapies and treatments. The present availability of VR for a large variety of practical applications together with the increasingly easiness, quality and economic access of this technology is transforming the way we interact with digital information. Here, we review the software implementations currently available for VR visualization of SARS-CoV-2 molecular structures, covering a range of virtual environments: CAVEs, desktop software, and cell phone applications, all of them combined with head-mounted devices like cardboards, Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive. We aim to impulse and facilitate the use of these emerging technologies in research against COVID-19 trying to increase the knowledge and thus minimizing risks before placing huge amounts of money for the development of potential treatments.

Chris Jericho is the only man in history to hold the AEW World Championship, but that's not the reason he joined AEW. Jericho was the top name signed by AEW after the company was announced in January 2019, and while he does enjoy the creative freedom that he says he didn't have in WWE, he didn't demand to be champion upon arrival.
Speaking to The Aquarian, Jericho was asked if he signed with AEW on the condition that they'd make him AEW Champion.
He replied, "It doesn’t work that way. I would never say that. The belt is just a prop anyway. The important thing is how you conduct yourself, how you work in the ring, and how you connect with the audience. That’s much more important than having a title."
While Jericho has been winning the majority of his matches in AEW, he hasn't been afraid to poke fun at himself in promos. As Jericho explains, it's all part of who he is.
"You can never take yourself too seriously. Especially in this business. People don’t like that. Plus, if I can’t insult myself, who can I insult? I like to bust my own balls. People respond to that," he said.
On-screen, Jericho is currently attempting to recruit Jon Moxley into the Inner Circle. Moxley will give Jericho his answer on the Jan. 8 episode of AEW Dynamite.

Canadian gothic/power metal act MALACODA – featuring Lucas Di Mascio (vocals/keys), Wes MacDonald (guitars) and Zachary “Zak” Stulla (bass) – are getting ready for the official release of their new independent EP, “Crawling Chaos“, on April 2nd. The four-track effort was recorded and mixed by Lucas Di Mascio at Old Haunt Recording Studio from winter of 2019 through spring of 2020, with mastering duties being handled by Dan Dubois at Schematic Sound during summer of 2020.
Leading up to the release of “Crawling Chaos“, Malacoda premiered a lyric video for single “Crawling Chaos” (which features guest vocalist Beth Wilson + drummer Victor Boechat), plus a visualizer for song “Deadlights” (also with Victor Boechat), and today we’re happy to help usher in an official bass guitar play-through video for the impending EP’s title-track. You can check out the bass play-through below.
“This play through was a lot of fun for me to film. I recently dove into getting creative with the angles I could capture with my go pro and in doing so it really helped me create a unique video for one of my favourite songs off the upcoming ep,” comments bassist Zak regarding the new video.
With music described as “dark, foreboding and with lyrics to enjoy as well as unsettle.” (Powerplay Mag UK) being a constant in the band’s sound, the next step would be to write a follow up to Restless Dreams. While looking for a drummer, the band recorded throughout the rest of 2019/2020 with friends behind the drum kit.
Previously speaking on the track, Lucas said, “The song is based on the movie, It’s one of the better horror movie remakes that’s come out recently. We really tried to capture the emotion from the film with this one.”

The Lee County Conservation Department's trumpeter swan restoration effort is welcoming five newborns this summer.
Trumpeters were re-introduced to the state of Iowa almost two decades ago after their removal in the late 1800's. Lee County is among one of the many counties that take part in a program to expand the amount of trumpeters in the state.
The adult swans have produced a few batches of eggs in the past, but Lee County Conservation Board Director Tom Buckley says many of the newborns do not live for very long.
"Mammals can prey on them when they're close to the shore, even then, the severe weather can be something else. When they're small, they don't have a lot of feathers on them and they can get hypothermia pretty easily, and there is always a possibility they can die from that," Buckley said.
The board is keeping a close eye on the new cygnets that were born about a week ago. They have provided a nesting area to shelter the swans from bad weather.
Almost 40 acres of fenced land is set up to keep their predators out.

About feeding your baby when he from one to two years
I’m glad that I asked Evgeny Demin to talk about their food. Since then, Jack has already written a few lyrics for “Sotelo!”, and today she tells, what and how to feed my son.
I want to share my experience of feeding your baby aged one to two years, without any claim to the only true food behavior, but with hope for help doubting in this matter.
In my opinion, this age is the most important for the education of gastroplus, and now is the time to enjoy the moment, and to instill healthy habits, while the little kid interacts with the outside world and not
pelmets outsiders “sweets” type of wafers, cookies and chips.
So, in our family, food is not divided into adult and child, we all eat the same thing. Adult food adapted to the needs of the child, which is very convenient because you can cook one dish at all, just podperchivaya his dish in the plate.
The main principle in our diet – eat more pure, natural food and drinking water. With the second more difficult, but we try very hard. For myself, I developed an effective way to drink water. It needs a beautiful glass bottle with good water and a glass from which you can drink water, I have it from fine glass. The principle is this: the bottle stands in a conspicuous place in the room where you most often spend your time (mine is the kitchen and the glass is always filled with water. Drank immediately poured. Water poured only into the bottle is not tempting me, but it should catch eyes for a water-filled glass, and just want to drink. Special programs, bottles all over the house and a lemon to me is not so to stimulate consumption, just as it’s always full glass of water. All ingenious is simple. He drank himself, gave the child.
In my humble opinion the task of the parent during the period: to teach one-year-old child to eat and drink independently. To drink from an ordinary mug, the spoon is the soup itself is krupnosortnyj salad fork. Yes, there will be dirty, but you will have the opportunity to enjoy dinner. Isn’t it a miracle – there is no rush and will not push in the evening.
And I absolutely do not close an approach to “dress up” the food, turning a carrot into a Princess. Food should be food, beautiful, carefully applied, delicious and healthy.
To hide and conspiriacy food – this is not my approach. Spinach should be spinach, and broccoli – broccoli. The child must understand that he is eating and learn to recognize the flavors. The only option where I use food conspiracy – it’s a smoothie! There I hide a lot of Prekrasnoe, like Flaxseed and green that son doesn’t like it much.
The principle of nezapocitane food is still relevant, the baby eats as much as he wanted, but I feed him only at the table exactly three times a day with one snack without odjemalec. To keep the child – the right way to fight off appetite. If the kid refused to offer me the product, I don’t despair and still the next time I offer it to him, without the stigma of “he won’t eat it”. Eats, even as, just haven’t tasted. So we had with avocado, before his baby was spitting up, and now primarily pop out of salad.
It is very important to feel their child and to understand which way of presenting the food he likes, he loves cucumber, whole or in pieces, Apple with peel or slices, the soup with chopped vegetables into cubes or strips.
I try to eliminate or at least minimize the consumption of foods prepared industrially, does not give quick of cereals, juices, fruit factory yogurts, sauces, and more.
If you want snacks and sweets, like candy, cookies or crackers – I cook them myself, but in a healthy twist. Our favorite homemade desserts: coconut, oat or almond cookies, Apple pie, poppy seed cake.
And yet, the age from one to two years is the ideal time to start cooking with the baby! What kids can already at this age? Stir everything with a whisk, for example, dough for pancakes; mix salad, sift the flour, peel the garlic, sculpt cookie, press the button on a stationary blender, grind the spices in a mortar, wipe the table! And again, Yes, there will be dirty, but the delight of a child from an elementary aid to the mother outweigh any frustration from having to disassemble Mamay fight in the kitchen. And you can still play with the kids, spending gastronomic lessons, for example, ask to split the products on sour, sweet, spicy and salty or put them in a secure bag and ask to touch to guess what is hidden.
I don’t calculate the calories, the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates: in my opinion, this is a utopian method, I use quality products and quality combinations.
So, where do we get good products and how to organize their purchase?
On Sundays I figure a rough menu for the week, to understand the list of products and to waste time going to the store only once a week on Monday. It is an ideal to which I strive, but often in stores no products I need, and so you have to spend to buy them more time.
Sample menu allows me to more closely provide for the harmonious combination of products and during the week to make a choice in favor of vegetables, fruits, berries, cottage cheese, fish, whole grain products in the form of buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth and wild rice. So every day I cook new dishes with the right ingredients.
▪ Dairy products I prepare myself from cow’s milk from our neighbor or buy brand “Milk culture” @dairyculture. I love cottage cheese “Ruza”, as its consistency is perfect for cheesecakes and pies.
All of these recommendations work perfectly, when we are at home, but whenever we go to a restaurant to go to relax and the food is modified. To preserve the regime becomes more complicated in the diet and, unfortunately, there is bread, white rice and pasta that is made in all countries of the world and very fond of children and parents who want to eat in peace without screaming and running around. What to order in a restaurant, what to take with you on the train and the plane, and what a long walk is another story and I will definitely write about it.
Here are our favourite items from the standard ration for the day (if we’re not in the journey):
Homemade yogurt with almond biscuits
Fruit salad with sour cream dressing
Home farm granola with milk


All4shooters readers already know the Winchester SXP, a somewhat basic pump-action shotgun that meets almost all needs of hunters, sports shooters, law enforcement and average citizens looking for a reliable pump-action shotgun for home defense.
At IWA 2018 Winchester introduced an especially aggressive looking model in 12 Magnum ga, aptly named XTRM Defender. Featuring a pistol grip, the new shotgun comes in two versions, both of which are also available with a rifled barrel for shooting slugs with more accuracy. The two main version are the SXP XTRM Defender Adjustable 46 and the SXP XTRM Defender High Capacity 51.
SXP XTRM Defender, Adjustable and High Capacity versions
The first version stands out for its long stock with adjustable cheek-piece, plus a Picatinny rail for a scope with an integrated ghost ring rear sight. The 46 in / 117mm barrel is tipped with a very tactical door breacher muzzlebrake. This device enables the shotgun muzzle to be placed into the door frame without rupturing the barrel by providing some venting through the muzzle brake slots.
The tubular magazine has a capacity of 5 rounds, plus one in the chamber.
The SXP XTRM Defender High Capacity 51 has a longer 51 in / 129 mm barrel and magazine, with a total capacity of eight shots (7+1). The stock is different too, with two interchangeable cheek-pieces and four inserts so as to easily adapt to the user's build.
As said, both this versions are available with rifled barrels too.
Prices are 584 euro for the SXP XTRM Defender Adjustable 46 (698 euro with rifled barrel) and 466 euro for the SXP XTRM Defender High Capacity 51 (598 euro with rifled barrel).

The Rev. James Souter was the first minister to take a full-time office in the new St. James Presbyterian Church in Newcastle, New Brunswick after its reconstruction in 1829. The original was destroyed in the great fire of 1825. In 1830, the congregation of St. James invited Mr. Souter to serve the parish, an invitation he accepted, arriving late that year from Aberdeen, Scotland. After a four-year probationary ministerial period, he was made permanent pastor. He served the St. James congregation for 13 years. In late 1842 he relinquished his post and returned to Scotland.
