The RavensFire band had almost fifty engagements last year, and 2019 looks like a busy year, too. After a full holiday season, with private parties and more, we took a little time off to refresh some old tunes, learn a few new ones, and get ready to entertain even more people. The RavensFire season really get started in March as we approach St. Patrick’s Day.
The Forager Brewing Company invited us back for our first gig of the year, and boy, did we have fun! Lots of friends came out on a pleasant winter evening to listen to traditional music and escape the troubles of the world. Everybody had a good time singing along to the familiar tunes, like Whisky in a Jar. We made one friend’s day by playing one of her favorite Johnny Cash songs.
Lots of people have called, messaged, and emailed us already for bookings this year. Take a look at the RavensFire Calendar to see where the band is playing next. We’re adding new events regularly. If you’ve thought of hiring a traditional Irish, Scottish, Americana, or original band for your event, please contact Melissa today. We love playing for weddings, birthday parties, and church celebrations. If you have a date in mind, don’t hesitate.
This is how the RavensFire band members relaxed with friends over the holidays.
The RavensFire Band is well known all around the area for their energetic performances, beautiful vocal harmonies, and skilled instrumentals while playing and singing their unique collection of lively traditional Irish, Folk, World, Americana and original music.

And so, I made a decision that seek out my very first xmas meal begins currently two days after Thanksgiving. We have perhaps not had my rest after countless answers about my Pumpkin Lasagna which made an actual „headline“ for the past day or two, and I also currently have an Idea the coming cold weather breaks – xmas Cranberry Pound Cake.
Yes, after my explore Pinterest, I found a very good starting point – a lovely xmas Cranberry pound-cake through the web site Bobbies Baking blog site. The look is the things I imagined, in accordance with a few little adjustments, it'll be a fantastic meal to open up the season of cold temperatures holidays.
In the first place I doubled the actual quantity of cranberries that we invest the bread and after some thinking, I made a decision to toss Orange Zest from the meal because it's maybe not my „cup of tea“ .
When it comes to glaze, in place of milk and powdered sugar, my idea ended up being a mixture of cream-cheese and powdered sugar within the entire Pound Cake with many, numerous dry Cranberries on the whole cake. Therefore, after just a short while inside kitchen, back at my table ended up being my breathtaking Christmas time Cranberry pound-cake.
“Honey, do you want a slice of Christmas cake?” We invited my husband jokingly because he performedn’t understand what all this work had been about.
“What are you referring to? It’s still Thanksgiving” he asked entirely confused carefully taking a look at the dessert available.
“See, sometimes it's not too bad having a food blogger within the house”, I laughed when I gave him a piece of Christmas Cranberry Pound Cake.

Kurt Workholding offers a complete line of high-density CarvLock workholding towers for precision machining with eight or 12 clamping stations in both manual and hydraulic models. Equipped with easily changeable jaws, these towers provide maximum setup flexibility and fast change-over between jobs, the company says.
The towers are ideal for use on mid-size and larger horizontal machining centers, and options enable configuration to users’ exact needs. Each tower station has either a 3" or 4" jaw opening and provides repeatable clamping to 0.0002" with a maximum clamping force of 5,870 to 7,460 lbs, depending on the model.
Self-adjusting holding blocks clamp the similar- or dissimilar-size parts. Fast manual operation is enhanced with the adjustable pre-load feature that reduces handle turns for opening and closing clamping stations. Hydraulic power speeds part clamping by eliminating the need to manually clamp the piece part.
The CarvLock towers are made of ductile iron, maximizing strength, rigidity and long-term accuracy. The elevated column design makes clearing chips and coolant from the clamping area fast and easy. Additional features include jaw options for specific applications such as hard jaws, machinable aluminum and ductile iron jaws, plus aluminum fixture plates. For maximum flexibility, jaws are indexable 180 degrees.

After last night's news, tonight's Columbus Blue Jackets game may seem more somber or foreboding than anything, but this is still an important game as they'll take on the Buffalo Sabres.
Thanks to the Artemi Panarin news – and a similar (and perhaps more tenuous) situation with Sergei Bobrovsky – the Blue Jackets are in a weird spot, having to balance their contender status with the need to not let either (or both) star players walk at the end of the season for nothing.
Still, while both players are undeniably superstars, they're not All-Stars (this season, at least). For the first time since helping the Metropolitan Division win the All-Star 3-on-3 challenge, Cam Atkinson and Seth Jones will take the ice again.
The Panarin situation has been hanging over the Blue Jackets all season, but last night's news seemingly puts the final nail in the coffin. Blue Jackets fans will enjoy him while they can – but if he gets moved in the coming weeks, how will the team react on the ice?
Martin St-Louis has joined the organization as a consultant to help the power play. Obviously that's not a problem that will fix itself overnight, but it'll be interesting to see if they trot out a different structure tonight.

The $18.85 million Menominee Nation Arena was built on the site of a derelict industrial site.
The city is expecting to make two more amendments to its agreement with the developer of the Menominee Nation Arena, one to assist with financing and another to address environmental concerns.
The first amendment would allow the developer, Fox Valley Pro Basketball, to get an upfront payment from a private lender for the reimbursements it expects to receive from the city. These payments are capped at $5.5 million and are to come out of taxes that the developer must first pay to the city.
“The city is only required under the agreement to pay out increment paid by the developer and only if the increment … is paid to the city in full,” city staff wrote this week in a memo to the Common Council.
The word “increment” is part of the financing method that was used for the arena. The term refers to the higher property taxes that the city will receive based on the increased value of the site. The project occupies a formerly derelict industrial site that has recently been determined to be worth $18.85 million.
This newly created value is the basis for the increment, which will be paid out over the 27-year life of the project. These funds are reimbursements to the developer for public improvements, such as streets, sidewalks and utilities, as well as offsets for higher than expected costs related to the environmental problems at the site.
If the Common Council approves this financing amendment, the developer could take this promise of future payments to a private lender and trade it for an immediate infusion of cash, which would be used to supplement a traditional mortgage. The lender has not been publicly identified as yet.
The amendment would also allow the city to recoup additional administrative costs, up to $25,000 this year.
Another amendment, which would be the fourth in all, would cover environmental issues that are still being worked out between the city and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The staff memo said DNR has requested “additional environmental testing” but does not include specifics.

Welcome to my brand new blog, Enchanted in Elementary! My name is Victoria and I am going into my fourth year teaching in an elementary school in sunny Florida. I have taught both first and second grade so far, and will be teaching first grade again this coming school year. I’ve been so inspired by all of the great teacher blogs out there that I decided it was time to share my ideas and creations! I absolutely love teaching and crafting and I really like for my room to reflect that.
I have been teaching in portable classrooms since I started, but this coming year will be my first year in the building! I could not be more excited and have been spending my summer (so far) making things for my new room.
I am originally from England, but moved to Florida when I was four.
I used to teach clogging when I was in high school. Now, at this point people usually picture someone dancing around in wooden shoes, but that is not the case! Clogging is a little bit like tap dancing, but our shoes have double taps, no pointed wooden shoes here!
In addition to crafting, I also love to knit and cross stitch.
I absolutely LOVE flamingos! I have no recollection of when/how this obsession love started, but it's here and I have accepted it.

Panhead Jim rides a 1965 Harley-davidson Topper with a sidecar, for our first ever Vintage Review.
Harley-Davidson has produced vehicles for seemingly every segment of the transportation sector over their 110+ year history. Everything from rocket engines to golf carts have borne the bar and shield logo over those years, but perhaps one of the most adorable is the Topper. Considering Harley’s current marketing of the “biker lifestyle”, nothing flies in the face of that like two grown men riding on a scooter with a mini sidecar.
I have been vaguely aware of the Topper for years, but had never really seen one up close and honestly have a low opinion of scooters in general which kept me from searching one out. Then last spring, a good friend of mine from Nevada mentioned he would be travelling out to the east coast and was bringing a number of vintage machines along, including his 1965 Topper AH with the rare factory sidecar. If he was dragging that Topper all the way across the country, I figured there must be something to it, so I made sure to arrange for a ride when he was in my neck of the woods.
I met up with my buddy, who goes by the nickname Pigpen, down in Denton, NC during the AMCA Southern National Meet. This is an annual swapmeet/bike show/campout for vintage motorcycle enthusiasts and always a good time. When I found Pigpen, the Topper was all ready to go; it was surprisingly a very striking machine with a flawless blue and white paint job on the scooter and a matching scalloped paint scheme on the sidecar.
I volunteered to hop in the sidecar as I’d never ridden in one of those either and thought I’d kill two birds with one stone. The chosen route was around the grounds of the Denton Farm Park which consisted of an approximate 1 mile gravel loop road. This would force us to keep our speed down which was fine with me as I was still a little unnerved by the small wheels and low ride height.
All Toppers are powered by horizontal single cylinder 2 stroke motors that use a reed valve intake. The engine is mounted centrally between the floorboards and cooling is provided by airflow under the scooter. The Topper AH is the hot rod model of the lineup with the “H” denoting high compression. The AH produces 50% more horsepower than the standard A model which means the 165cc engine cranks out 9hp! There is actually quite a bit of engine work needed for this power increase, so the AH is fitted with a larger carburetor, larger intake manifold and larger airfilter along with a tuned exhaust to compliment the high compression squish chamber head.
The engine is paired to constant velocity transmission and connected with a v-belt primary. Power reaches the rear tire via a roller chain which spins a 63 tooth rear sprocket.
The Topper has a wheelbase of 51.5” and a total length of 75” making just two inches shorter than the current Vespa 946. It rides on a pair of 4.00 x 12 tires, each fitted with a 5” drum brake. The front suspension uses a leading link design while the rear consists of a swingarm attached to two extension springs. Both the Topper and the sidecar are built around high strength steel frames. The sidecar uses a slightly smaller 4.00” x 8 tire which is attached to a ¾” square torsion bar to provide suspension.
The engine is positioned to put 42 percent of the scooter’s weight on the front wheel and to provide a low center of gravity for better balance and handling. Of course attaching the sidecar negates most of the advantages provided by the engine placement.
The Topper uses a 6 volt magneto-generator system to power two low tension coils. One coil powers the headlight, tail light and horn while the other powers the ignition and brake light. For night time operation, the headlight is equipped with high and low beams, both putting out 21 candlepower. Speed is monitored through a mechanical speedometer which displays all the way to the Topper's advertised top speed of 60 mph. No battery is needed as the starting mechanism consists of a rope-recoil type similar to most lawnmowers.
Fuel for the motor has to be premixed as oil injected two-strokes had not yet been invented in the 1960's. The advantage being that you can use the same fuel for your Topper as your chainsaw and vice versa.
The Topper has relaxed upright sitting position which places the rider's feet directly in front of him. Very similar to just sitting in a chair. The 30" seat height is actually higher than most models in Harley's current line up, being 5" higher than a standard Fat Boy.
Although the sidecar was not marketed as a fun way to travel with your children, my 6’2” frame was definitely more than it was designed to hold. Still I was able to squeeze into the sidecar with my knees pulled up to my chest. The sidecar has a bench style padded seat which probably would have been comfortable if I had a little more leg room.
MSRP back in 1962 was $445 for the AH model Topper plus an additional $128 for the LA model sidecar. Current market value for a Topper in good condition is in the $3000 - $4000 range and you can double that price if it has a sidecar.
Riding in the sidecar brought back memories of my favorite county fair rides from my youth, just shaky enough to make you hold on tight but not so much that you feared for your life. As we bounced down the gravel roads the combination of low ride height and minimal suspension gave me that same amusement park ride feeling that we were traveling much faster than the 25 mph that Pigpen assured me that we were going.
Even though it was cramped and a bit uncomfortable, it was a blast to ride. You probably noticed that big grin I had plastered on my face in every photo. I would not want to do 500 mile days on it, but for an around town vehicle it would be a lot of fun. Ideally you'd want to own one of these if you lived down at the coast as it would make the ultimate beach machine. There's room for you, your best girl and even a picnic basket to carry lunch and beach towels.
Best of all it is a real head turner. You'll note that in most of the pictures, everyone is checking it out as we rode past and I'm sure they were thinking that I looked like a real "badass" in that sidecar.
Probably what surprised me the most is that the Topper is how comparable it is to a modern scooter. If you read the spec sheet on a new Vespa you'll see a lot of similarities and even a few places where the Topper actually outperforms it. Considering that the Vespa 946 has an MSRP of $10499, a nicely restored Topper wouldn't be such a bad alternative.

Why Doesn’t Milford Bateman’s Book Work?
Bateman is right to challenge the mythology that was constructed around microfinance in order to sell it to donors. But he commits the error of his opponents in advocating extremism too, just of the opposite tenor. It seems as if his passion about the problems of microfinance, fired by personal experience in Eastern Europe, along with his verbal fluency and a proclivity to view public affairs as polarized ideological battles, override his propensity for critical thinking. The result is a story in which the monolithic "international donor community" chooses to "neoliberalize" microfinance worldwide out of blind ideology, or, worse, a "political" drive to make the world safe for corporations. Bateman is not saying that microcredit directly hurts clients on average but rather that those who push microfinance are powerful enough that they could instead push developing nations onto quite different paths, in particular deploying state-led credit models that he says can be relied upon to deliver development. If it were weren't a captive of neoliberalism, the international donor community could make India and Pakistan, finance-wise, more like China and Vietnam.
Seems a strong claim to me.
Muhammad Yunus stumbled on the idea of microcredit on learning that 42 people in the village near his university were locked into debts worth only $42 total. "He decided to cancel this debt out of his own pocket, and was embarrassed to be almost royally feted for such a small sum." (p. 9) Yunus did not cancel the debt, but substituted his lenient, no-interest loans for the moneylenders'. And the cited pages of Yunus's autobiography mention no such hero worship.
"By the late 1980s, microcredit and microenterprise development had become the international development community's anti-poverty intervention of choice." (p. 11) According to a quick tally from the CRS database, the top category for foreign aid commitments worldwide in 1985--89 was agriculture, at $25 billion. Banking and finance was 14th, at $3 billion.
"As leading microfinance advocate Jonathan Morduch admitted..." (p. 13) Jonathan is an academic who broke into the microfinance field by showing that the Grameen Bank took more subsidies than most people realized, then challenging the Pitt and Khandker study claiming that the Bank was reducing poverty. Seemingly, it takes a black-and-white world view to shoehorn him into the "advocate" category.
Bateman argues that while Yunus and other microfinance pioneers initially embraced outside subsidies if necessary to keep interest rates down for the poor, "the international development community soon began to disabuse the microfinance industry of this notion....The rejection of subsidies was essentially rooted in changing politics: specifically, the rapid ascendance of the neoliberal political project....Great efforts were made to commission as much supporting evidence as possible in favour of the chosen trajectory. Famously stepping up to the plate here was a group of mainly agricultural economists based at Ohio State University in the USA, who very conveniently provided a stream of arguments discrediting the notion of subsidies in rural finance and state involvement." (pp. 13--14). Bateman very conveniently skips over the arguments and evidence assembled by the Ohio School, above all about how billions of dollars of government-directed, subsidized credit meant for poor farmers in Brazil, Indonesia, and other nations had been captured by rural elites. Meanwhile, the Grameen Bank was not forced into a neoliberal, subsidy-free form. As Bateman notes, Yunus's views on the proper role of government are similar to those of Milton and Rose Friedman, and presumably long have been. Grameen weaned itself off outside aid less because of ideology than because it prized its independence from donors it sometimes saw as meddlesome. And most of those donors---Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Japan, the United Nations---were never that enamored of neoliberalism.
On my work with Jonathan Morduch, Bateman writes, "Regarding the headline-grabbing results in the earlier Pitt and Khandker study...Roodman and Morduch obtained the opposite signs--that is, their results suggested negative impact." (p. 63, emphasis in original) Actually, we wrote: "But we do not conclude that microcredit harms; rather...reverse or omitted-variable causation is driving the results."
"Supporters of the [commercial] microfinance model, centrally including both CGAP and ACCION, initially cheered the Compartamos IPO to the rooftops." (p. 22) Actually, CGAP said that the IPO "provoked discussion and concern within the microfinance community and elsewhere. We think some of this concern is justified and some is not."
He compares microcredit to the abandoned Morgenthau Plan to deindustrialize Germany after World War II (pp. 93--101). He says that historically, profit-seeking commercial banks began moving into microcredit "and so out of traditional SME [small and medium-sized enterprise] lending," (p. 17) which lending he views, with some reason, as important for poverty-reducing economic growth. In fact, he accuses the leading Cambodian microfinance institution ACLEDA of drawing conventional Cambodian banks into microfinance and away from lending to bigger businesses and thus "playing an important role in undermining the country's desperate attempts to escape extreme industrial and agricultural backwardness." (p. 102, emphasis in original) Such claims beg the question of why profit-seeking banks would abandon a profitable line of business---or whether SME lending is in fact unprofitable, and why. In fact, the microcredit movement arose in part because of repeated failures to lend effectively to SMEs. Some combination of lack of credit-worthy customers and adverse business conditions makes it hard in many places. Since this was true before microcredit, it should not be blamed on microcredit.
There has been a lot of great research, writing, and blogging on microfinance in the last 18 months. I have in mind not my own work, but all that I have praised from this blog. If you want a realistic sense of what microfinance can achieve, I don't think you need to read this book.

The Barabar Hill Caves are the oldest surviving rock-cut caves in India, dating from the Maurya Empire (322–185 BCE), some with Ashokan inscriptions, located in the Makhdumpur region of Jehanabad district, Bihar, India, 24 km (15 mi) north of Gaya.
These caves are situated in the twin hills of Barabar (four caves) and Nagarjuni (three caves); caves of the 1.6 km (0.99 mi)-distant Nagarjuni Hill are sometimes singled out as the Nagarjuni Caves. These rock-cut chambers date back to the 3rd century BCE, Maurya period, of Ashoka (reigned 273–232 BCE) and his grandson, Dasharatha Maurya.
The sculptured surround to the entrance to the Lomas Rishi Cave is the earliest survival of the ogee shaped "chaitra arch" or chandrashala that was to be an important feature of Indian rock-cut architecture and sculptural decoration for centuries. The form was clearly a reproduction in stone of buildings in wood and other plant materials.
The caves were used by ascetics from the Ajivika sect, founded by Makkhali Gosala, a contemporary of Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, and of Mahavira, the last and 24th Tirthankara of Jainism. Also present at the site are several rock-cut Buddhist and Hindu sculptures and inscriptions from later periods.
Most caves at Barabar consist of two chambers, carved entirely out of granite, with a highly polished internal surface and exciting echo effect.
The caves were featured – located in a fictitious Marabar – in the book A Passage to India by English author E. M. Forster. These were also shown in the book The Mahabharata Secret by Indian author Christopher C. Doyle.
Map of the caves in Barabar and Nagarjuni hills.
Barabar Hill contains four caves: Karan Chaupar, Lomas Rishi, Sudama and Visvakarma. Sudama and Lomas Rishi are the earliest examples of rock-cut architecture in India, with architectural detailing made in the Mauryan period. Similar examples include the larger Buddhist Chaitya, found in Maharashtra, such as in Ajanta and Karla Caves. The Barabar caves greatly influenced the tradition of rock-cut architecture in the Indian subcontinent.
Sudama cave was dedicated by Mauryan Emperor, Ashoka in 261 BCE. The arches of Sudama cave have bow shape. The caves consist of a circular vaulted chamber with a rectangular mandapa.
Karan Chaupar (Karna Chaupar) consists of single rectangular room with polished surfaces, contains inscription which could be dated to 245 BCE.
Visva karma cave, reachable by Ashoka steps hewn in the cliff, consists of two rectangular rooms.
Unfinished interior (floor and ceiling) of Lomas Rishi cave. The rocky bumps left in the state on the ground appear in the farther left corner.
The cave of Lomas Rishi is probably the most famous of the caves of Barabar, because of its beautifully carved door. It is on the southern side of Barabar granite hill, and is adjacent to Sudama cave, which is on the left. Lomas Rishi consists of two rooms: a rectangular room measuring 9.86x5.18m, and a circular, semi-hemispherical room 5m in diameter, which is accessed from the rectangular room by a narrow rectangular passage.
This cave has an arched facade that probably imitates contemporary wooden architecture. On the periphery of the door, along the curve of the architrave, a line of elephants advances in the direction of stupas emblems. This is the characteristic form of the "Chaitya arch" or chandrashala, to be an important feature of architecture and sculpture in the rock for many centuries. It is clearly a stone reproduction of wooden buildings and other plant materials. According to Gupta, Lomas Rishi's immediate successors are the Kondivite and Guntupalli caves.
Lomas Rishi has no Ashoka inscription, perhaps because it has never been completed due to structural rock slide problems. It is generally considered, however, that it was also created around 260 BCE, like the other caves, because of the similarity of the internal structure and the degree of finish of the rock, the walls being perfectly polished, with the exception of the vault whose digging was interrupted. On the other hand, it has a very posterior inscription of Anantavarman above the entrance, from the 5th century of our era.

Development of the Chaitya Arch from Lomas Rishi Cave on, from a book by Percy Brown.
According to Gupta, the theory that Lomas Rishi would not have received Ashoka's inscription because it was in a state of incompleteness, is undermined by the fact that the cave of Vivaskarma, another cave of Barabar, although it is not finished, was nevertheless consecrated by Ashoka. The consecration of a cave could therefore be done in the course of work. This could induce that Lomas Rishi, with its bas-reliefs, is actually posterior to Ashoka. Gupta actually believes that Lomas Rishi is posterior to both Ashoka and his grandson Dasaratha, and would have been built at the end of the Maurya Empire, under the reign of his last Emperor Brihadratha, and abruptly halted in 185 BC with the assassination of Brihadratha and the coup d'état of Pushyamitra Sunga, founder of the Sunga dynasty. Pushyamitra Sunga is also known to have persecuted Buddhists and Ajivikas, which would explain the immediate cessation of work. According to Gupta, the abrupt interruption of the works is suggested by the lack of finishing, even approximate, of the ground, with for example the abandonment in the state of some pikes of the rocks which would have required only a few minutes of chipping to be removed in order to obtain a fairly regular floor.
Ashoka dedicated the caves of Sudama and Visvakarma to the Ajivikas in the 12th year of his reign, when his religious evolution towards Buddhism was not yet fully completed. Later, Ashoka built the caves of Lomas Rishi (without dated inscription, but posterior to Sudama on architectural grounds) and Karna Chopar (19th year of his reign), at a time when he had become a firm advocate of Buddhism, as known from the Edicts of Ashoka. Therefore he may naturally have offered the last two caves of Lomas Rishi and Karna Chopar to the Buddhists, although the former has no inscription and the latter has an inscription which only indirectly suggests that. The affiliation of the last two caves to Buddhism would be coherent with the fact that the architecture of the gate of Lomas Rishi became a reference for the development of the Chaitya arch in Buddhist cave architecture for the following centuries, whereas the Hindus or the Jains caves essentially did not follow this architectural example. This would also mean that the decorated gate of Lomas Rishi was a Buddhist invention, which was emulated in Buddhist architecture in the following centuries.
Interior of the Sudama cave. It consists of a large vaulted room and a semi-hemispherical sanctum (here, in the back of the photographer), all with a polished granite finish. All of Barabar's caves share this interior appearance to a greater or lesser extent, with the exception of Lomas Rishi Cave, which, although designed on the same model, is only half-finished for its interior. The cracks correspond to a slip in the rock, probably after the creation of the cave. Photos.
"By King Priyadarsin, in the 12th year of his reign, this cave of Banyans was offered to the Ajivikas. "
The ceiling of the Sudama cave is arched. The cave is composed of a circular vaulted chamber and a vaulted room with the rectangular form of mandapa. The interior walls of the cave represent a technical feat: they are perfectly flat and polished granite surfaces, creating a mirror effect. On the other hand, the plane surfaces reverberate the sound, creating a very pronounced echo phenomenon. This characteristic is common to all the caves of Barabar, and, by amplifying the vibrations and the harmonies, seems to be favorable to the songs of the monks.

The cave has a rock-cut bench at one end, probably to sit or sleep.
In the entrance hall an inscription from the Gupta period mentions "Daridra Kantara" ("The Cave of the Beggars"). A mound decorated with Buddhist sculptures is also near the entrance, another of many elements accrediting the belonging of this cave to the Buddhist.
The Visvakarma cave, also called Viswa Mitra, is accessible by the "steps of Ashoka" carved into the cliff. It is a hundred meters and a little east of the main granite hill 25°00′22″N 85°03′53″E / 25.00611°N 85.06472°E / 25.00611; 85.06472. It consists of a rectangular room entirely open to the outside, a sort of elongated porch, and an unfinished semi-hemispherical room: the rectangular space measures 4.27x2.54m, and the circular room is 2.8m in diameter . One goes from the rectangular room to the half-hemispherical room by a narrow trapezoidal passage. On the floor of the porch, four holes were made, which are thought to allow the cave to be closed with a wooden picket fence.
"By King Priyadarsin, in the 12th year of his reign, this cave of Khalatika Mountain was offered to the Ajivikas. "
Here, it should be noted that Visvakarma cave, despite the fact that it is not finished, was nonetheless consecrated by Ashoka. This somewhat questions the theory that Lomas Rishi's cave would not have received Ashoka's inscription because it was in a state of incompletion. This could justify that Lomas Rishi, with his bas-reliefs, is actually posterior to Ashoka, as late as 185 BCE. This does not explain, however, why Visvakarma, consecrated in 260 BCE, has been interrupted, in the absence of a significant problem in the rock, whereas 7 years later Ashoka dedicated Karan Chaupar cave, perfectly finished, a short distance from there. Visvakarma is also the only cave that does not have "historical" inscriptions after Ashoka..

Vadathika Cave. It is located in a crevasse in the rock. It consists of a single rectangular room sized 5.11x3.43m, with a porch at the entrance of 1.83x1.68m. This cave was consecrated by Dasharatha Maurya, the grandson and successor of Ashoka, for the sect of Ajivikas.

Vapiyaka Cave, also called "Well Cave" from the meaning of its name . It consists of a single rectangular room of dimensions 5.10x3.43m. This cave was also dedicated to the Ajivikas sect by Dasharatha, with an inscription equivalent to that of the cave of Gopika. This cave also has a beautiful vaulted hall, entirely made of perfectly polished granite. It has an inscription identical to its neighbor, except for the name of the cave, as well as a number of short inscriptions of the Gupta era.

Mirror-like polishing of the granite walls. Left: wall of the entrance corridor to the cave of Gopika (mirror effect increased by the low shooting angle). Right: interior of the Sudama cave with reflection of a monk. These quasi-perfect walls were dug into the hard rock and polished before 261 BCE, date of the rather clumsy inscriptions of Ashoka.
The caves were carved out of granite, an extremely hard rock, then finished with a very nice polishing of the inner surface, giving a mirror effect of a great regularity, as well as an echo effect.  This large-scale polish is reminiscent of polishing on smaller surfaces of the Maurya statuary, particularly visible on the pillars and capitals of the Ashoka pillars.
Commenting of Mauryan sculpture, John Marshall once wrote about the "extraordinary precision and accuracy which characterizes all Mauryan works, and which has never, we venture to say, been surpassed even by the finest workmanship on Athenian buildings".
Monumental Achaemenid polish, 5th century BCE.
This remarkable and large-scale polishing technique, and in many ways without parallel, seems nevertheless to have been derived from polishing techniques in Achaemenid statuary, the stone-working techniques having spread in India after the destruction of the empire by Alexander the Great in 330 BC and the displacement of Persian and Perso-Greek artists and technicians . This know-how seems to have disappeared again after the Maurya period, none of the later caves such as the Ajanta caves having this characteristic of polished surfaces .
The very act of digging artificial caves in the rock, of which the Barabar caves represent the oldest case in India, was probably inspired by the caves dug in the rock of the Achaemenids, as is the case in Naqsh-e Rostam.. It seems, however, that in India there had been an ancient tradition of ascetics using caves..
According to Gupta, the polishing of rocks could have a local origin, citing the existence of polishing technologies of the neolithic, as visible in various stone tools such as axes. There is, however, no trace of evolution from these neolitical tools to polished stone architecture, and the Barabar caves are essentially a sudden technological break with no local history, suggesting the import of these techniques from another culture. Nor are there any known examples of stone architecture in India before the Maurya period. . According to Gupta, the Son Bhandar Caves could be such an intermediate step, although relatively unique, and subject to questioning its chronology, since it is generally dated to the 2nd-4th centuries of our era .
Dedicatory inscription of Ashoka in Visvakarma/Viswamitra cave, Barabar. The word "Ajivikas" was later attacked with the burin, at a time when the Brahmi script was still understood, i.e. before the 5th century.
The Ashoka inscriptions of the Barabar Caves were engraved during the 12th year and the 19th year of Ashoka's reign (about 258 BCE and 251 BCE respectively, based on a coronation date of 269 BCE), for the dedication of several caves to the sect of the Ajivikas, a sect of ascetics, which flourished at the same time as Buddhism and Jainism. The words "Ajivikas" were later attacked by the chisel, probably by religious rivals, at a time when the Brahmi script was still understood (probably before the 5th century CE). However, the original inscriptions being deep, they remain easily decipherable.
The Ashoka inscriptions in the Barabar Caves are part of Ashoka's "Minor Rock Edicts", and appear in the three caves named Sudama, Visvakarma and Karna Chopar. Lomas Rishi, meanwhile, has no Ashoka inscription (only an inscription of Anantavarman above the entrance, 5-6th century CE), perhaps because she did not never been completed due to structural rock slide problems.
In addition to the inscriptions indicating that they were made in the 12th year of Ashoka's reign (250 BC), it is generally considered that the construction of the Barabar caves itself also dates from his reign. The fact that the cave of Vivaskarma was not consecrated by Ashoka during the 12th year of his reign, but only seven years later, argues for the hypothesis of a gradual construction of the caves under Ashoka. Similarly, the fact that the caves on Nagarjuni Hill were not consecrated by Ashoka but by his successor Dasaratha, suggests that these caves were only built after the reign of Ashoka.
Dedicatory inscription of Dasaratha Maurya above the entrance of the Vadathika cave.
Dasaratha Maurya, Ashoka's grandson and regnal successor, wrote dedicatory inscriptions in the three other caves, forming the Nagarjuni group (Gopika, Vadathi and Vapiya caves) of the Barabar hills . It is generally considered that their construction dates from his reign .
The three caves were offered to the Ajivikas upon the accession to the throne of Dasaratha, confirming that these were still active around 230 BCE, and that Buddhism was not the exclusive religion of the Mauryas at that time .
The three caves are also characterized by an extremely advanced finish of the granite walls inside, which again confirms that the technique of "Mauryan polish" did not die out with the reign of Ashoka .
"The cave of Gopika, a refuge that will last as long as the sun and the moon, was dug by Devanampiya (beloved of the gods) Dasaratha at from his elevation to the throne, to make it a hermitage for the most pious Ajivikas "" .
"Vadathi Cave, a refuge that will last as long as the sun and the moon, was dug by Devanampiya (beloved of the gods) Dasaratha during his elevation to the throne, to make it a hermitage for the most pious Ajivikas " .
Gopika Cave Inscription of king Anantavarman, 5-6th century CE, in the entrance of the cave of Gopika, built by the grandson of Ashoka around 230 BCE.
Several Hindu inscriptions of the Maukhari king Anantavarman of the 5-6th century CE also appear in the caves of the Nagarjuni group, in the same caves where the dedicatory inscriptions of the grandson of Ashoka, Dasaratha, are also located: the Gopika Cave Inscription and the Vadathika Cave Inscription, as well as an inscription of Anantavarman above the cave entrance of Lomas Rishi. There are also a number of short inscriptions from the time of the Gupta Empire, generally inscribed in the entrance halls, and distributed in almost all the caves. Only the cave of Vivaskarma has received no inscriptions subsequent to his dedicatory inscription of Ashoka.

Om! He, Anantavarman, who was the excellent son, captivating the heart of mankind, of the illustrious Sardaula, and who, possessed of very great virtues, adorned by his own (high) birth in the family of Maukhari kings, - him, of unsullied fame, with joy caused to be made, as if it were his own fame represented in bodily form in the world, this beautiful image, placed in (this) cave of the mountain Pravaragiri, of the (god) Krishna.
(Line 3.) - The illustrious Sardula, of firmly established fame, the best among chieftains, became the ruler of the earth, he who was a very death to hostile kings; who was a tree the fruits of which were the (fulfilled) wishes of his favourites; who was the torch of the family of the warrior caste, which is glorious through waging many battles; (and) who, charming the thoughts of lovely women, resembled (the god) Smara.
(L. 5.) - On whatsoever enemy the illustrious king Sardula casts in anger his scowling eye, the expanded and tremulous and clear and beloved pupil of which is red at the comers between the uplifted brows,— on him there falls the death-dealing arrow, discharged from the bowstring drawn up to (his) ear, of his son, the giver of endless pleasure, who has the name of Anantavarman.
There is another cave with the structure and polishing qualities of the Barabar caves, but without any inscription. This is the Sitamarhi Cave, 20 km from Rajgir, 10 km south-west of Hisua, also dated of the Maurya empire. It is smaller than the Barabar caves, measuring only 4.91x3.43m, with a ceiling height of 2.01m. The entrance is also trapezoidal, as for the Barabar caves .
Finally, the Jain Son Bhandar Caves in Rajgir, generally dated to the 2nd-4th centuries CE, nevertheless share a broad structure reminiscent of the caves of Barabar and some small areas of irregular polish, which leads some authors to suggest that they may actually be contemporary to, and even earlier than, the Barabar caves, and would conveniently create a precedent and an evolutionary step to the Barabar Caves.
Outside the caves on the top of the hill, about 600 meters away (25°00′41″N 85°03′45″E / 25.011524°N 85.062553°E / 25.011524; 85.062553), are located the Hindu temple of Vanavar Shiv Mandir and many examples of small Hindu statuary.

7 posts categorized "Freelance Writing"
You've heard them before: "Time is money. There are only 24 hours in a day. Always set aside time for yourself. If you want time you must make it." Suggestions are everywhere regarding how to better manage that precious finite resource each day.
I've been exploring those tidbits of advice for a NAWBO-CI "happy coffee" I'm hosting on June 6 at 5 p.m. on the Greenbriar patio in Johnston. Women business owners will gather to share our time management strategies or perhaps the lack of them. We'll discuss what's working and what's not. I've downloaded 130 time management tips to see if there's some workable nugget that I haven't yet tried. There's always some idea worthy of consideration, but to insert another known phrase into this blog: Old habits die hard.
Yesterday was a time management gem for me. By 1 p.m. I'd completed all my appointments and the morning tasks that I'd prioritized to be done by 2 p.m. During the rest of the afternoon I was able to work on three projects at my desk; two of those had come up during my morning appointments and I'd labeled them "urgent." Yes, that pushed some "important, but not urgent" tasks to the top of today's list, but yesterday ended great. I quit working by 5:30 p.m. because it was a gorgeous day and I wanted to get out to enjoy it. The evening provided time to sit outside and relax, read, do a Sudoku puzzle or two and have a nice dinner with Chuck. Reminder to self: Savor June 1, 2011.
Because other days my ever-present to-do list is untouched by 10 p.m. When you're a sole proprietor in a service business, some days are spent reacting to pressing requests and living in the dreaded "fire fighter" quadrant Dr. Stephen Covey describes in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. No amount of routine-building and establishing of priorities is going to work on those days. Yet that's one thing I love about being a freelancer: Every day is different. I haven't been bored in 31 years. And some mornings (hey, I've identified mornings as my most productive time) I even "make" time to write a blog! But as you can tell by my sporadic posts, blogging is in an "important, but not urgent" category for me. Hope to see central Iowa WBOs on Monday night to share time management insights.
I've frequently turned to my books of quotations when I needed inspiration for a headline, speech, promotional piece or even filler for a newsletter. I'd find a nugget that would resonate, smile at the perfect wording, and use it for my client. But I never thought of putting a plethora of those powerful statements on three-by-five cards to paper my walls, or posting one of them in my office in hopes that it might provide a teachable moment for someone who walked into my workplace. But Dr. Mardy Grothe has me thinking today. That headline is a Grothe original.
Grothe started his quotation journey in college (thanks to Thoreau's Walden), covering his apartment's walls in the inspirational wordings that he'd discover daily. Want to change your life or help someone change theirs? Post some thought-provoking quotes in your business. You'll become the company's "philosophical officer," says Grothe, who's billed as America's most popular quotation anthologist. The psychologist turned business consultant and platform speaker has parlayed his passion for quotes into five books for language lovers (written within one decade!): Ifferisms, Oxymoronica, I Never Metaphor I Didn't Like, Viva la Repartee, and Never Let a Fool Kiss You or a Kiss Fool You. He shared tidbits from those books and kept his audience well-entertained on September 15 at the Central Library in Des Moines.
Sixty-seven-year-old Grothe admits he'd frequently use a thought-provoking quote as a response to a patient in his clinical practice in Boston. Does he "talk in quotations" in conversations to family members? Nope, he says, but Grothe's heard that a marriage has been saved by his "Quotes of the Week" newsletter. The subscriber now makes his wife breakfast and reads her Grothe's email epistle every Sunday.
One couple attending the Des Moines presentation read Grothe's books to each other, and Grothe says that reading to your partner is an excellent relationship-builder for couples. Hmm. I purchased his "Viva la Repartee: Clever Comebacks and Witty Retorts from History's Great Wits and Wordsmiths." Start expecting the Schoffners to be sharing better wisecracks and off-the-cuff comments in the weeks ahead.
The "Deb" among the spiritual world leaders in the headline is writer Debra Landwehr Engle, a wonderful friend and author whose way with words is delicate, dazzling and deep. I just came from a book signing/reading at Beaverdale Books featuring Deb and her essay, "The Land," which is part of The Art of Living: A Practical Guide to Being Alive. While the book was released in Spain in November, this beautiful collection of essays focused on our shared humanity and interrelationships is new to the U.S. The other "D" folks in the headline? Their written inspirations for thought and action are included too.
Profits from the book go to Green Cross International, a Switzerland-based NGO founded by Mikhail Gorbachev, whose essay is in the same section at Deb's: Messages from Mother Earth. Green Cross is dedicated to sustainable development and the transformation of consciousness.
Deb wrote about feeling the rich connection to the land in Iowa and living in Madison County, which she calls "sacred ground, a land of enchantment, an answer to prayer." It's a tribute to how Iowans are nourished not just by the food that is produced here, but by the beauty—the green, the aliveness—that surrounds us. Deb's divinely crafted message reveals how love lives in Madison County far beyond the covered bridges.
I'd sit down and read every thought-provoking entry in the book right now, but it's a gorgeous afternoon in Iowa, and I'm called to get outside with the green and be nurtured. Digging in the ground is my choice right now for enjoying the art of living.

Love is Everywhere: The Energy that I Found!
The strangest thing happened less than a month ago. I was sick. Okay, so that wasn't strange because I always get sick, but I had such a severe virus that is has left me without smell or taste. that's the strange part. I'm slowly but surely working my way at trying to get my smell and taste back as I'm 100% healthy. It's the most bizarre thing. Instead of complaining about no taste or smell I've embraced this new experience. I have eaten foods I always hated and I also have been eating better. I might as well eat those gross, healthy foods when I can't taste them, right?
What also happened after I was health again, I have this amazing burst of energy. I mean "Crazy, where the HECK did you come from energy?" I've been so much more motivated with Wedding Planning and our house! I cleaned out my entire closet and reorganized it all (see below). I went through boxes that were packed away from our first apartment that I have not touched in over 6 years. I threw away things I thought were necessary to save, but were not. I eliminated a lot of clothes and gave them away. It feels so great to simplify my life.
After my closet was finished and I came across boxes filled with frames and random home accessories I completed my Wall of Frames in the Living Room. Of course, I need to add more photos and rotate some old ones out, but it's beautiful in my eyes!
Then last Sunday night at 7:00pm after running around all day, I decided to tear up the carpet in our spare room not sure what was underneath, but I took the chance. To our surprise there were finished, beautiful, hardwood floors below that crappy carpet! This week I spent cleaning and organizing the room, using furniture we already owned to give the room it's final touches. Our Black & White spare room, I love it!
Little by little.. we've been in our home for over 3 years and it took me this long to get here.. but I'm here and ready to continue improving this home to officially make it our home with our special love & touches!

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning walks off the field after Denver’s loss to Seattle on Sunday.
It was difficult to tell whether Peyton Manning was more frustrated on the field or perplexed on the sideline during Super Bowl XLVIII.
In the game that will at least be another unflattering postseason chapter whenever his legacy is finally decided, Manning was hurried and harried and all but hopeless behind center. Sitting on the bench, as he pored over pictures of what had happened in the previous series, he looked absolutely flummoxed.
Perhaps the most brilliantly maneuvering quarterback in history, Manning had nary an answer for the speed and size and physicality of the Seattle Seahawks.
At the same time, the Seahawks seemed to be seeing inside Manning’s head.
“I told you anything you called, it was going to work,” Thomas shouted.
By no means was this laugher entirely on Manning, the MVP of five regular seasons who is now 11-12 in the postseason and 1-2 in Super Bowls.
The entire team in orange was crushed by the Seahawks as a rare Super Bowl pitting the league’s No. 1 offense against the No. 1 defense ended with the latter winning 43-8, a differential that tied for the third largest in Super Bowl history.
Denver had not only the best offense of 2013, but — by many measures — the best of all time. And the Seahawks held the Broncos to almost 30 fewer points than their average, shut them out until the final play of the third quarter.
No team had ever passed for more yards or touchdowns or scored more points than Denver did this season. The Broncos had five players with at least 60 receptions, with four of them also having at least 10 TD receptions. Just five times in 18 games had they scored fewer than 30 points. The 20 points they managed against the Chargers on Dec. 12 were the fewest they had scored all season.
All that meant nothing Sunday — except that none of history’s eight highest-scoring teams won a Super Bowl in the year they led the league in scoring, and that all four quarterbacks to lead their team to the Super Bowl in a season when they led the league in passing lost the big game.
Seattle’s defense, though not statistically near the all-time leaders because of the pass-heavy nature of the modern NFL, was nonetheless just the fourth in NFL history to lead the league in interceptions and allow the fewest passing yards. Not surprisingly, all four teams made it to the title game, and Seattle is now the third to have won.
The Broncos were fun to watch all season. Then they met the Seahawks, and it was just funny.
“We imposed our will,” Sherman said.
“We always say, ‘It doesn’t have to be close,’ ” Thomas said.
What these Broncos did in 2013 was “Swan Lake” or “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Beauty, full of grace. The Seahawks are a movie directed by Michael Bay — loud music, constant collisions, explosions everywhere.
Or, if you’re Manning, a horror movie.
When Manny Ramirez’s snap flew over Manning’s head and into the end zone — where Knowshon Moreno fell on it for a safety 12 seconds into the game, the quickest points ever in a Super Bowl — it was more miscommunication than nerves. But it set a tone for a game in which the Broncos were uncharacteristically jumpy and flustered up front.
They had none of their usual rhythm. Their linemen were penalized for tripping, along with a false start and holding. Manning was under duress often and did not seem comfortable for much of the night.
It was confirmed even before the first quarter ended that the Broncos had not experienced anything quite like the Seahawks’ swarming ferocity.
With 2:16 left in that first period, Seattle had eight points. Denver had 8 yards.
A third-down pass by Manning floated into Chancellor’s hands. The Seahawks took seven plays to get into the end zone for the first time.
The statistics to that point: Seattle 15 (points), Broncos 11 (yards).
Denver actually got a first down on its next possession — its first of the game, 4½ minutes into the second quarter — and moved all the way to the Seahawks’ 35-yard line before Manning was hit by Cliff Avril as he threw. The ball wobbled high into the air and landed in Malcolm Smith’s hands. The Seahawks linebacker didn’t let go of the ball until he threw it just over the crossbar in the opposite end zone, and Seattle’s lead swelled to 22-0.
It would reach 36-0 before the Broncos finally scored on a perfect Manning pass and fantastic grab in the end zone by Demaryius Thomas to cap a six-play, 80-yard drive.
Thomas’ 13 receptions (for 118 yards) set a Super Bowl record. Manning completed a Super Bowl-record 34 passes.
Seattle’s defense, in fact, outscored Denver’s offense.
Based on the score, you wanted to say this was an awful Super Bowl. But, really, it was enthralling.
“I really don’t have a comparison,” Manning replied to a question about whether the Seahawks were too difficult to do his usual outsmarting.
Nor did he have an answer all night.

I am most interested in working with those who are ready for change. I firmly believe that if an individual, a couple or a family is ready for growth I can help. There are many potential paths for each of us in life though at times we could use an objective and nonjudgmental perspective to help us find the best path. I can provide that perspective along with evidence based techniques to guide you through.
While I have been comfortable working with a broad range of concerns, my graduate research involved social anxiety, test anxiety and anxiety related to self-identity/self-worth. Over the years I have developed an approach that includes the connections between our mind, body, heart, and soul. More technically, I use Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Interpersonal Psychology, and Behavioral Psychology guided by Psychodynamic theory. I will give you tools to help you change your life. For 15 years I have been working with individuals, couples, and families who want to improve their lives. The most common description of my style has been that I am easy to talk to and able to make a difference. I also have significant experience helping people manage chronic pain.
If you are ready to feel better and/or if you would like to improve your relationship with your partner, your children or others I can help you. One of the most difficult to understand aspects of my work is that people tend to not change until after hitting "rock bottom". Why wait until after losing so much (relationships, jobs, health)? One of my main goals is to help you make changes before it's too late.
Call my number below and leave your name, phone number, and the best time to call and I will return your call as soon as possible. Follow the "Contact, Paperwork, Location" link at the bottom or top of this page to contact me by email, get required paperwork and to view maps of my office location with photos of the building I'm in. (I'm at 719 Olde Hickory Road Suite A, Lancaster PA, 17601) I am also able to conduct Telehealth sessions using a HIPAA compliant online streaming service. However, there are some limitations and not all insurances cover telehealth (I know Highmark does but for other insurances you will need to contact them).
(Excluding the first Friday/Saturday of the month) I am typically in by 9:00 am for paperwork and phone calls, Mondays by 10:00 am.
The path I chose was not the “traditional path” (after high school I spent 8 years exploring different options including 4 years in the military). At that point I found my desired destination hadn’t changed. I’ve always been interested in helping others. Now I’m in the position to help you along your path.
My undergraduate degree is from Temple University and my graduate degree from the University of Connecticut, an APA approved program (earned 2004). I completed my pre-doctoral and postdoctoral internships at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.
I worked at Franklin and Marshall’s counseling center for the first three years after I graduated. I then chose to join Life Management Associates (a group of 18 therapists) and worked with them for five years when the group closed. My private practice opened on July 3rd 2013.
My clients have generally described me as easy to feel comfortable with but also challenging in terms of keeping them on track.

So, I skipped a couple days because I had other posts I had to post on those days. I’m back at it today!
As of today, the Powerball jackpot is an estimated $155 million, with a $92.4 million cash value. I would take the cash value, I know there is a lot of debate as to which is the smarter decision, and while I have an argument for why I would choose the cash value, it’s unimportant. What is important is that at minimum when all the taxes and everything else are taken care of, I should have $40 million. That has to be enough, if it isn’t then the money isn’t the problem, I am.
Now that we have that out of the way, how would I spend the money? I would first have to take care of Sarah’s family, and my own. I think that in the process of setting them all up (for life if they’re careful) I should have a minimum of $25 million. With this money, I would set up three trust funds, one for Logan and any other children that I have, one for my sister’s daughter and any other future children she has, and one for my sister-in-law’s two sons and any others that are to come. The trust would pay for education for each of those lines of kids, and if there is enough for their children and so one.
So now, I think there is about $20 million left. I’m buying a house in California, nothing too big or expensive, but I want to be able to go there whenever I want, same with Italy if I can find something doable (this is less about money, and more about I’ve heard it’s difficult for American’s to buy property there). I would also probably buy something small in Massachusetts, so that Sarah and I have somewhere to stay.
I would definitely want to do something good for others with the money, but I haven’t thought specifically about what I would do. There are lots of little things I would do, but some of those aren’t necessarily jackpot required, so as of right now I just don’t know yet.
I am currently unemployed, and so I would probably stop looking for employment, or at least stop looking at employment that is just for a paycheck, and continue to write, and do the things I love doing anyway, but hopefully in a way that is more similar to a full time capacity. The key balance in this part of the equation would be how to keep myself most busy and satisfied, while also burning through as little of the money as possible. So if I could make money writing and vlogging and everything else that I do, that is what I would go for.
I think that the two big ways in which I would change is mostly in having the homes in my two favorite places, and the ability to better provide for my family/extended family. It’s probably pretty clear that I’ve put some thought into this.
This is difficult. I would probably buy a large home with a writing shed, get my husband and I each a new car, pay off my student loans… Honestly, that’s as far as I’ve gotten! I’d probably donate some and set up college funds for my nephews but I’m not sure really what else I would do.
Thanks! I forgot to mention cars, I would get a Delorean and probably a Tesla, but I would also keep my Honda Civic.

Today we welcome guest blog author Ray Lapena, PR Manager at Tripwire, a part of the Belden family. Originally posted at https://www.tripwire.com/state-of-security/ics-security/70-percent-energy-security-pros-fear-digital-attacks-produce-catastrophic-failure/, the article offers information we think you’ll find valuable.
Digital attackers are targeting organizations in the energy sector like never before. For example, just a few weeks ago, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security issued a joint report describing a massive Russian hacking campaign to infiltrate America’s critical infrastructure. In a first, the US government publicly blamed Russia’s government for attacks on energy infrastructure.
News like this and recent threats like Triton and Industroyer beg two questions: how concerned are energy security professionals about digital threats, and what do they think will happen at their organization if a digital attack is successful?
To find out, Tripwire commissioned Dimensional Research to examine the security of industrial control systems (ICS) in the energy industry. It did so by surveying 151 IT and operational technology (OT) security professionals at energy and oil and gas companies in March 2018.
Energy companies have accepted the reality that digital threats can have tangible consequences. This perception is perhaps heightened by recent attacks that were specifically designed to affect physical operations and have proven capable of doing so.
In December 2017, FireEye disclosed its discovery of TRITON, an attack framework which is capable of shutting down plant operations as well as producing more serious outcomes. Just six months before that, ESET shed light on Win32/Industroyer, modular malware which can take down ICS systems by speaking to industrial communication protocols and deploying wiper malware.
In the survey, 59 percent said their companies increased security investments because of ICS-targeted attacks like Trisis/Triton, Industroyer/CrashOverride and Stuxnet. However, many feel they still don’t have the proper level of investment to meet ICS security goals.
More than half (56 percent) of respondents to Tripwire’s survey felt it would take a significant attack to get their companies to invest in security properly. This may be why just 35 percent of participants are taking a multilayered approach to ICS security – widely recognized as a best practice. Thirty-four percent said they were focusing primarily on network security and 14 percent on ICS device security.
It’s concerning that more than half would wait for an attack to happen before investing properly given what’s at stake with critical infrastructure. The energy industry should invest in establishing more robust cybersecurity strategies with a proper foundation of critical security controls and layers of defense.
Previous Post When it comes to zero-day threats, we’re all just sitting ducks. Or are we?

text: Case Description The Heartland Alliance for Human Needs & Human Rights submitted FOIA requests to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Office of Management and Budget for records concerning policies and procedures for maintaining and/or filling beds at ICE detention facilities. ICE responded to Heartland's request by disclosing 247 pages and 123 Excel spreadsheets. The agency withheld other records under Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy), Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records), and Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods and techniques). Heartland appealed the agency's decision and the agency remanded the case for a more extensive search. OMB responded to Heartland's request by indicating it had found six pages that were being referred to ICE for a determination. Heartland appealed OMB's decision, but after hearing nothing further from the agency, Heartland filed suit against both agencies.

Back in April (2016), IBM announced that AIX DSO (Dynamic System Optimizer) would be supported on POWER8 systems. And, it looks like this support is now available with AIX 7.1 TL4 SP2.
On my AIX 7.1 TL4 SP1 partition, running on POWER8 (an S824), ASO/DSO fails to activate (hibernates permanently), and as expected the ASO log file states that the processor is not supported.
May 24 10:41:36 AIXcg aso:notice aso: Processor version not supported.
After I updated the system to SP2, ASO starts (comes out of hibernation) and attempts to optimise the workload running on the partition.

The summer months are a great time for road trips and traveling out of town to see friends and family. Whether it is a trip into the mountains on a 2-way road or, you are traveling to a major city on an interstate there is a variety of drivers on the road – including young drivers who have just gotten their license.
Each summer several thousand collision occur throughout the Country involving young drivers. Whether it is due to inexperience, negligence, or it wasn’t their fault at all this group of drivers is at much great risk of having a motor vehicle accident.
Any time you are driving in an area where there are other drivers on the road, keep a safe following distance and increase it during the evening or early morning hours when the roads may not be as well-lit by the sun.
If the sun is in your eyes, slow down and increase the distance between you and the other cars on the road. If you are being tailgated, just pull over and let the other driver get by you.
Make sure that your vehicle receives proper maintenance including tires, wipers, headlights, taillights, and oil change. This will reduce the chances of a mechanical malfunction that could lead to a collision.
Regularly check the tire pressure in your tires and make sure that it is at the recommended amount as per the owners’ manual for your vehicle.
Never talk on your cell phone or text while you are driving or stopped at an intersection. It is just as easy to be the victim of someone else’s negligence if you are not paying attention as it is to cause a collision due to your own negligence.
If your vehicle is not equipped with daytime running lights, make sure your turn on your headlights if the sunlight is dim. For instance, if it is early in the morning, near dusk, or a cloudy day.
Staying safe on the road is a challenge we all face each day, and most of the time without even thinking about it. We take for granted that we will get from point A to point B because that is what is on the to-do list for the day. But, we each need to be mindful while driving and especially younger drivers.

The following instructions work both in Sublime Text 2 and 3 unless mentioned otherwise.
The Lua Love Package provides syntax highlighting, snippets, autocompletion and build rules.
Install Package Control, restart Sublime.
Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command palette and use the Package Control: Install Package command.
Wait until another input field appears and install the Lua Love package.
In the command palette enable syntax highlighting with Set Syntax: Lua (Love).
In Sublime 3, you can use Ctrl+Shift+B to select the build system LuaLove - Love2D which from then on you can start using Ctrl+B.
Both Sublime 2 and 3 require the directory of your LÖVE binary to be part of your PATH variable. You can avoid this by changing the "love" path in the build script. This is more complicated in Sublime 3.
Create a new Build System: Tools -> Build System -> New Build System and use the following code.
Save it in the suggested location as love-run.sublime-build.
Now you can use Ctrl+B or Cmd+B to run your love project.
This build system depends on the location of your LÖVE binary. Check the path in the "cmd": line.
This build system doesn't seem to work if you have spaces in your $file_path.
By default the console in Sublime Text will not display any output, such as print() calls, until the LOVE application has been closed.
If there was an error during execution, you can use the F4 (next error) and SHIFT-F4 (previous error) to go through the errors that lua encountered.
