’t deny the fear or anger
To be the fixer or the strangler
Or bury it in the dust to remain
What you seek is The Healer
To one who knows you, you can be no realer
He knows every blot and stain
Have you ever tried
To kill a weed
By plucking its leaves
Any gardener who did that lied
So we tell her to wear this or that
But we didn’t dress her
In righteousness’ armour
Now she dresses to kill, but you she isn’t aimed at
What she needs is the Soul Filler
One who would hear her prayer
Stop seeking attention, we spat
When we never showed her the love she did require
Have you ever tried
To kill a tree
By plucking its fruit or chucking the seed
That only helps its presence go far and wide
Its the same with emptiness
You can move things around
You can pad the echoing sound
But something is missing like a bad game of Tetris
Only His peace can calm the stress
We must get to the root
And not go attacking fruit
He seeks the heart we attack dress
He seeks to open hearts, we digress
He seeks to heal, we say hide in shame
He seeks to put together, we seek to blame
He seeks to love, we attack names
He seeks freedom, we’re lost and we want for them the same
This is not a game
To get to the root He must go deep
To stop the rain He must call us up high
Yes, we might feel pain and we may weep

At CrypticCoin, we are pushing our limits and working to build the most revolutionary privacy coin and community in the crypto space. To achieve our desired success, we believe that staying organized and focused is essential. As such, our community members have suggested that we launch a community-run foundation, whose role consists of overseeing development of the coin and community activities. Much like our coin, our community believes that the foundation should not be tied to any jurisdiction or country and should be global just like its members. We are pleased to announce that we will be launching the CrypticCoin Foundation (“Foundation”)!
We whole-heartedly believe in the importance of decentralization and empowering our community members. By establishing the Foundation, we do not intend to concentrate the control of the coin in the hands of the few. On the contrary, members of the foundation will act as the liaison amongst all community members, ensuring that all voices are heard and reflected in the ongoing operations of the coin. Safeguards will be put in place to protect the community and keep foundation members honest. We take decentralization as seriously as we take privacy.
Upon completion of the requirements above, the Foundation will follow the principles established within its governance principles to elect the subsequent board of directors.
The Board of Directors of the CrypticCoin Foundation are committed to openness and transparency. Actions taken by the board will be documented and published online to keep community members informed and updated on the Foundation’s progress.
We are excited for the future of our coin and community. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. We look forward to sharing more great news in the near future.
Dublin murder accused admitted to Central Mental Hospital
24/07/2014 - 13:04:30Back to Ireland Home
A woman accused of murdering her boyfriend in south Dublin has been taken to the Central Mental Hospital.
Merci Peters was due to appear in court today but she was excused from attending to allow for a full assessment to be carried out.
Last Thursday evening, Tyrone McKenna's father returned to his home at Marlay Court in Rathfarnham to find his son slumped on the stairs.
He quickly raised the alarm but the 42-year-old was pronounced dead a short time later.
A post mortem revealed he had been stabbed in the back.
A knife, believed to be used in his killing, was recovered from the house and taken away for tests.
The victim's girlfriend Merci Peters was arrested and brought before a special court sitting on Saturday charged with his murder.
Tyrone's elderly father was in court this morning for what was supposed to be her second appearance but the judge heard she was not going to be produced.
The brief hearing took place in her absence because she has spent the past few days undergoing tests in the Central Mental Hospital.
As a result, the case was adjourned and the 41-year-old native of Sierra Leone is due back in court next month.Today, I went to Trader Joes because I didn’t have any breakfast food, and Gumby is almost out of his favorite dry food. I noticed that masks are optional inside Trader Joes because most people weren’t wearing a mask. So, I took off my neckgaiter. There were still few people still wearing a mask. Cool, it felt normal. I want to enjoy it while it lasts before they change things again around end of summer and december, according to predictions.
I wonder what the mall looks like, if masks are optional there. I should drop by this weekend to check out the mall environment.
Life appears to be back to normal, but I fear it will be temporary until they create something else to terrorize everyone.
maybe during wintertime….
I think wearing a mask can still be beneficial in keeping the flu season more under control.It's a good thing I put on my "Be Disruptive" shirt this morning, because I'm about to disrupt all up in this place. You're sitting down, right? Excellent.
According to recent documentation, Microsoft's current best-practices guidance for passwords is to…set them to never expire. It's ok if you need to take a moment to re-read that. Once you've made peace with that one, you can also disable complexity requirements.
We've been talking for some time about the limitations of passwords and the importance of enabling multi-factor authentication, but this is the first time we've seen the drumline change from "passwords aren't enough" to "seriously, just don't bother even changing them any more", and that's a HUGE posture shift.
So what's driving it? Again, we know passwords tend to be hard to remember and end up jotted on sticky notes under keyboards (or stuck to monitors). We know users recycle the heck out of them, too, with statistics saying a full 73% of credentials are recycled across systems. And we know users love cat names, their children, and the tried and true "password1".
Microsoft warned us some time ago that winning team names make up a huge percentage of passwords, and introduced some really cool password filtering capabilities to prohibit that. Windows 2016 AD will very soon be able to actually subscribe to those filters, and admins will be able to introduce their own banned words, so users don't just put famous employees or corporate initiatives as passwords. That's cool, and would somewhat imply that passwords still have a very high value. But what Microsoft has also discovered is that having users change passwords more frequently actually drives up the likelihood that they'll fall into these bad password habits. And it makes total sense, if you think about it: being forced to think up a new password every 60 to 90 days is an out-of-band exercise for most of us. It's usually interruptive to our process, so it doesn't get the attention it might deserve. Our brains tend to go to something that's on our minds, we turn it into 1337 sp34k, and move on.
But no more. Those great filtering tools now block simple 1337 sp34k conversions, which ultimately means users will get even more frustrated trying to come up with something quick.
All of which is just to say that passwords aren't getting the job done, and you can stop worrying about them. So sayeth Microsoft (so don't blame me). But we can't just wholesale dump the principal security mechanism that protects the object that we've declared "the new control plane" of IT security: the user identity.
Back to multi-factor…. If you haven't enabled it yet, what's holding you back? Office 365 and Azure admins can use it for free. In fact, let me quote Alex Simons, who in that same document updated the Azure AD best practices guidance this week with the following gem:
