No wall to wall back to back 24×7 news coverage. Just knowing that there are still some who remember what we did and who still care is enough to make an old man very happy." His eyes were filling up as he said it.Īnd mine are brimming up now as I write this. When Shifty came forward, I got up out of the seat and told him I wanted him to have it, that I’d take his in coach. I sent the flight attendant back to get him and said that I wanted to switch seats. I helped Shifty get onto the plane and then realized he was back in Coach while I was in First Class. ![]() And it’s real sad because, these days, so few of the guys are left, and those that are, lots of them can’t make the trip." My heart was in my throat and I didn’t know what to say. I asked Shifty if he was on his way back from France, and he said, "Yes. " I was standing with a genuine war hero … and then I realized that it was June, just after the anniversary of D-Day. I told him "yes, I know exactly where Normandy is, and I know what D-Day was." At that point he said "I also made a second jump into Holland, into Arnhem. do you know where Normandy is?"Īt this point my heart stopped. " at which point my heart skipped.Īt that point, again, very humbly, he said "I made the 5 training jumps at Toccoa, and then jumped into Normandy. Quietly and humbly, he said "Well, I guess I signed up in 1941 or so, and was in until sometime in 1945. I thanked him for his service, then asked him when he served, and how many jumps he made. He said quietly that he had been in the 101st. Making conversation, I asked him if he’d been in the 101st Airborne or if his son was serving. I offered to help, assured him that he was at the right gate, and noticed the "Screaming Eagle," the symbol of the 101st Airborne, on his hat. I just saw an elderly gentleman having trouble reading his ticket. I met Shifty in the Philadelphia airport several years ago. His character appears in all 10 episodes, and Shifty himself is interviewed in several of them. If you’ve seen Band of Brothers on HBO or the History Channel, you know Shifty. I loved everything about my daddy, Johnson said. Shifty volunteered for the airborne in WWII and served with Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, part of the 101st Airborne Infantry. But for Bristol’s Margo Johnson daughter of Darrell Shifty Powers, one of the soldiers depicted in Band of Brothers two more lines could be added to describe her heroic father: The world truly admired Darrell Powers. I would like to propose a nationwide memorial service for Darrell "Shifty" Powers. We’ve heard a lot about the big splashy memorial services for the likes of a drugged-up, wacked-out entertainer, Michael Jackson, and a cowardly drunk who happened to be a U.S. ![]() ![]() Instead, they simply take advantage of some little-examined features of those collaboration platforms, along with their ubiquity and the trust that both users and systems administrators have come to place in them. Cisco’s researchers warn that none of the techniques they found actually exploits a clear hackable vulnerability in Slack or Discord, or even requires Slack or Discord to be installed on the victim’s machine. In other cases, hackers have integrated Discord into their malware for remote control of their code running on infected machines, and even to steal data from victims. With growing frequency, they’re being used to serve up malware to victims in the form of a link that looks trustworthy. The same threat actor targeted 136 other companies.Cisco’s security division, Talos, published new research on Wednesday highlighting how, over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic, collaboration tools like Slack and, much more commonly, Discord have become handy mechanisms for cybercriminals. That was the case with the August breach of security provider Twilio. ![]() ![]() Threat actors frequently hack one company and use the data or access they obtain to breach that company's customers or partners. The Internet relies on a massive ecosystem of content delivery networks, authentication services, software development tool makers, and other companies. It’s possible, too, that some or all of these breaches are related. It wouldn’t be surprising if Slack or CircleCI updated its advisories to disclose further access to customer data or more sensitive parts of their networks. Remember the LastPass advisory from August? It, too, used the opaque phrase “security incident” and said “no customer data was accessed,” only to reveal the true extent on the last major business day of 2022. The advisory stresses that its customers weren’t affected and that “the threat actor did not access other areas of Slack’s environment, including the production environment, and they did not access other Slack resources or customer data.”Ĭustomers should take the statement with a generous helping of brine. ![]() From there, the intruders downloaded private code repositories. Adding to the lack of forthrightness: The company embedded the HTML tag in the post in an attempt to prevent search engines from indexing the alert.Īfter obtaining the Slack employee tokens, the threat actor misused them to gain access to the company’s external GitHub account. Like the CircleCI disclosure, the Slack alert also steers clear of concrete language and instead uses the passive phrase “were stolen and misused” without saying how. It’s clear Slack wasn’t in a hurry for the event to become widely known. It’s dated December 31, but the Internet Archives didn’t see it until Thursday, five days later. Slack’s advisory, meanwhile, is similarly opaque. That’s plenty of time to collect an unimaginable amount of some of the industry’s most sensitive data. Taking the statements together, it’s not a stretch to suspect threat actors were active inside CircleCI’s systems for two weeks. Exhibit B: the advice that customers check internal logs for unauthorized access between December 21 and January 4. Exhibit A is the statement: “At this point, we are confident that there are no unauthorized actors active in our systems,” suggesting that network intruders were active earlier. Its advisory never used the words “breach,” “compromise,” or “intrusion,” but that’s almost certainly what happened. A lack of transparencyĬircleCI is still tight-lipped about precisely what happened. The potential exposure of all those secrets-which could be login credentials, access tokens, and who knows what else-could prove disastrous for the security of the entire Internet. The alert also informed customers that it had invalidated their Project API tokens, an event requiring them to go through the hassle of replacing them.ĬircleCI says it’s used by more than 1 million developers in support of 30,000 organizations and runs nearly 1 million daily jobs. On Wednesday evening, the company reported a “security incident” that prompted it to advise customers to rotate “all secrets” they store on the service. ![]() The most concerning of the two new breaches is the one hitting CircleCI. It’s not clear if all three breaches are related, but that’s certainly a possibility. Further Reading LastPass users: Your info and password vault data are now in hackers’ handsThe compromises-in Slack’s case, the theft of employee token credentials and for CircleCI, the possible exposure of all customer secrets it stores-come two weeks after password manager LastPass disclosed its own security failure: the theft of customers’ password vaults containing sensitive data in both encrypted and clear text form. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please note that I noticed the tech pressed various key points, and this was a "reflexing" massage.

The only real difference between the 70Mai A800 and A800s is the processor ( Sigmastar SSC8629G).Īnd unfortunately, the A800s still uses a lithium battery instead of a super capacitor. Both still use the same Sony STARVIS IMX415 sensor (front camera). And as of Feb 2021, the 70Mai A800 has been replaced by 70Mai A800s. The 70Mai A800s also looks similar to 70Mai Pro Plus+ A500s. Realcube Image Technology Enhancement Features (better brightness, colour, sharpness).Considering the two are very similarly priced, the DDPAI Z40 simply has more to offer at the price (than the 70mai A400). Plus, the DDPAI Z40 has a built-in microphone is useful when checking dash cam footage. The higher resolution and Sony video sensor of the DDPAI Z40 are also more useful for common driving situations too. They can withstand extreme temperatures and will last longer than lithium batteries. In general, super-capacitor batteries are more reliable and durable. The 70mai A400 on the other hand, has 1440p resolution and a lithium battery. These are in line with most dash cams in the market.Ĭompared to another dash cam, the 70mai A400, the DDPAI Z40 has higher 1944p resolution, Sony IMX 335 sensor, and a super-capacitor battery. The front cam has a 140° wide viewing angle while the rear cam has a 125° field of view. Moreover, the DDPAI Z40 has an option for dual-channel recording on the front and rear cams simultaneously.īut you’ll need to purchase the additional rear cam. This is especially important for low-light environments when driving at night or on roads with no streetlights. The sensor is already sharp as is, but with the bonus of Realcube Image Technology, the video looks much clearer. The DDPAI Z40 also has Realcube Image Technology (built-in algorithms) to enhance brightness, colour accuracy, and overall picture quality. This is thanks to the 5MP Sony IMX 335 video sensor which increases colour accuracy and sharpness of the recording. Even if both models have the same resolution and similar prices. With these built-in features, the AZDOME M17 Pro is a much better bargain compared to the 70mai M300. The 70mai M300 is more expensive than the AZDOME M17 Pro if you opt for the rear cam too. The AZDOME M17 Pro also includes dual-channel recording (if you buy the rear cam). It can keep you awake by beeping every 1/2/4 hour when driving for long distances too. If you reach 10 meters or closer, the M17 Pro will beep and warn you. It warns you when you’re not in the proper lane.īesides this, it also measures the distance between you and cars in front of you up to 50 meters. The ADAS safety system is incredibly useful when driving: When compared to a dash cam with the same resolution, the 70mai M300, the AZDOME M17 Pro has wider 150° field of view, dual-channel recording, and an ADAS safety system. The wider field of view is very useful to ensure the camera records everything in sight. There is a wide 150° field of view on the front cam and a 130° field of view on the rear cam. This helps footage remain sharp even in poor lighting conditions, especially when driving at night or through dark areas.

I used the font “bacana” for the word “be” and “mine” is in “Bernardo Moda Contrast” and “forever” is “Before the Rain”.

I mean, lazy girl valentine’s decorating is fine, right? So instead, I opted to use my red frames again. Like I said, I don’t do much and just wasn’t feeling like filling the house up with a gazillion hearts. Now, let’s bring it back to Valentine’s Day prep. Quite simple, agree?! HOW I UPDATED THE GALLERY WALL FOR VALENTINE’S DAY Let me break the Christmas gallery wall down for you again… I clearly got my money’s worth out of that roll!! And the gold glitter reindeer felt right at home propped right above the gold sequin pillow. The gift bags were part of a 3-pack from Ross for $2.99 and the wrapping paper was leftover from making my DIY wrapped coffee table books and the DIY mini wrapped present ornaments. *** update: since Nyttja frames are not available online (in-store purchase only), I found them here: IKEA Nyttja frame from Amazon * I din’t move a single nail hole and it just so worked out that I would hang the top one horizontally and the middle and bottom frame hung vertically. I simply pulled 1 black frame from each row and replaced it with a red frame. Spending a ton of money on a perfectly pretty wall didn’t seem like a good idea, so I used 3 red 8.5″x11″ nyttja frames $1.99 each, 2 gift bags and one piece of wrapping paper to create the 3 “art” pieces. I wanted to do something fun with the living room gallery wall already in place, so when I spotted these frames at my other home away from home (IKEA – my first has to be the mothership, the H to the G…HomeGoods, if you weren’t sure where I was goin’ with that )), I knew they would do the trick. Let’s rewind back to December when the room was beginning to fill up with all sorts of red & gold Christmas decor. The pillows, too! So today, I’m showing you how I achieved this look for a mere 6 bucks. ![]() Since I only added red (& more gold) to the house for Christmas, it easily transitioned right in to Valentine’s Day. When I had this room all jazzed up in black, white, gold and red, I decided it could hang out like this for a couple months longer.

A budget-friendly update that would add a pop of color seemed the way to go! Here is how to update your gallery wall on a budget – this time for Valentine’s Day! As the holidays were approaching, I decided my monochromatic gallery wall needed an update. Typically, I go with a mix of black, white and gold frames or all black as seen below.

From the contents of his miscellany, we can discern an interest in medicine, law, and history. However, the miscellany as a whole suggests that the pilgrimage texts were valued by whoever brought the book together in its current binding probably in the fifteenth century. On the reverse of this leaf is a short Latin extract, in the same hand as the itinerary, with an excerpt from the political prophecy of ‘Sixtus of Ireland’ (which includes the prophecy that the cities of Jerusalem and Acre will be retaken by a Christian prince). We don’t know who its medieval owners were the book has been much reorganised and the Middle English text is on a single leaf – the other pages it was originally with have been cut out. So was Rylands Latin MS 288 a pilgrim’s book? Sadly, it’s impossible to say. At the end of the Middle English itinerary a charm has been added. The mileages given here are not the same as in the Latin text, and the two texts are written in different hands. The Middle English text is perhaps more likely to represent an actual journey undertaken, suggested by the late-medieval toponyms and its greater detail. Rylands Latin MS 228: Middle English itinerary from Venice to Jaffa and the River Jordan Summa milliarium de venecia usque Jherusalem et deinde usque fflome jordane ii milia ccc iiiixx I millaria.

There’s no evidence from this short Latin text that it was used by an actual pilgrim. Then follows some notes on the relics and indulgences of Rome, and some historical notes on Saladin and the history of Jerusalem. In fact, it contains a few notes on the distances from Rome to Naples, from Venice to the Holy Land, from Jaffa (‘Portiaff’) to Jerusalem, from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, from Bethlehem to the River Jordan, and from Jerusalem to ‘Monte Synay’, Mt Sinai, and the tomb of St Katherine there. 43v-44r) is headed ‘Itinerarium terre sancta’. Moreover, Latin MS 228 contains two texts that relate to pilgrimage to Jerusalem, one in Latin and one in Middle English. The binding is also important because it represents the moment at which someone put the book’s current contents together: that is, the moment of the book’s binding can reveal what was valued at that particular moment in time. It would have been highly portable, and the back of the binding even has a flap in which to store loose leaves or other items. It has a beautiful binding, dating from c. Latin MS 228 looks, on first sight, like it could be a pilgrim’s manuscript. In the case of some manuscript miscellanies, their development seems to be organic, taking place over many years, and with many different owners adding – and deleting – contents, according to changes ideas of what was useful or desirable. It is neither always apparent that a miscellany has an organising principle, nor is it often clear when the manuscript was organised. Latin MS 228 is a miscellany, and represents a very common kind of medieval manuscript, in which ‘useful information’ – legal documents, recipes, poetry, medical writing, and many other types of text – were gathered together. A good case in point is a book I recently inspected in the beautiful John Rylands Library, Manchester from its record in the Index of Middle English Prose, I had thought that this manuscript (now Latin MS 228) might be a Jerusalem-bound pilgrim’s manuscript. Blog-post author Professor Anthony Bale, Birkbeck, University of London bibliographic remnants of medieval pilgrimage are often haphazardly or imprecisely catalogued one can rarely rely on caalogues and handlists, without inspecting a book itself, to understand what the medieval source is. ![]() |
