My analysis of Dridex malware (Part One)
I had a few unscripted hours to kill before bed so I snagged a Dridex sample from Malwr.com to see what all of the fuss was about. According to ThreatPost, Dridex is a descendent of Cridex, Feodo or Bugat and is in the GameOver Zeus family.
File Name:064016.doc
MD5: 8f6a30149bc8970e9233037533c044cd
SHA1: 9515fbfb66624cb0684c32007f6b2a8b9e5756fc
SHA256: f9b874f9ccf803abaeaaf7af93523ee140f1929837f267378c89ed7b5bf174
This file was tagged as Dridex but it looks like a malicious Word 2003 XML-based document. This is a first stage dropper for Dridex. Since it is an XML document, a plain-text format, it shouldn't be too hard to tear apart.
First, I will start by running cat against the sample file to read the strings.
 Here are a few interesting tidbits:
So far we can tell that this Word 2003 document was created on 3/14/15, changed 6 times, last saved on 3/16/15. It was created on a Windows system running Office 2003 with the Russian language pack installed. There is also author and company names that can be helpful for setting up signatures. Those values are easily changed so while they are not definitive for attribution, they add context to the investigation. Finally, we can also tell that this document contains a macro.
To investigate this macro, I grabbed a copy of Didier Stevens' oledump.py.
oledump.py is a program to analyze OLE files (Compound File Binary Format). These files contain streams of data. oledump allows you to analyze these streams. Many applications use this file format, the best known is MS Office. .doc, .xls, .ppt, … are OLE files (docx, xlsx, … is the new file format: XML insize ZIP).
So to get the lay of the land, I start with running oledump.py without any options:
python oledump.py 064016.doc
From this we can see this Word doc contains an embedded file called editdata.mso which contains seven data streams. Three of the data streams are flagged as macros: A3:'VBA/Module1', A4:'VBA/Module2', A5:'VBA/ThisDocument'. Here is what these look like when dumped:
python oledump.py 064016.doc -s A4 -v
As far as I can tell, VBA/Module2 does absolutely nothing. These are nonsensical functions designed to confuse heuristic scanners.
python oledump.py 064016.doc -s A5 -v
This calls the HBjkbjBJKBL subroutine found in the A3 stream when the document is closed. This is an intentional technique used to evade sandbox analysis.
python oledump.py 064016.doc -s A3 -v
This is the payload. Can't see it? Looks like the payload was converted to hexadecimal to further obfuscate its intent. We will apply a little BashFu and ...
Voilà! We have our payload. Lets break these commands down:
You'll notice you don't see any of this in the Cuckoo report. This is because Cuckoo is looking for the infection to occur immediately after opening the document. This does nothing until you try to close it. Well played bad guys. Well played.
In my next post I will give you my run down of the assa.exe executable. Stay tuned.


A graph, while not "tidy" in itself, can be thought of as two tidy
data frames describing node and edge data respectively. 'tidygraph'
provides an approach to manipulate these two virtual data frames using the
API defined in the 'dplyr' package, as well as provides tidy interfaces to
a lot of common graph algorithms.

LIVE AND LET DIE (1973) A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1996 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 5.3 Alternative Scale: ** out of ****
United Kingdom, 1973 Running Length: 2:02 MPAA Classification: PG (Sexual innuendo, violence) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 2.2:1
Cast: Roger Moore, Yaphet Kotto, Jane Seymour, Julius W. Harris, Geoffrey Holder, David Hedison, Clifton James, Gloria Hendry, Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell Director: Guy Hamilton Producers: Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli Screenplay: Tom Mankiewicz based on the novel by Ian Fleming Cinematography: Ted Moore Music: George Martin and Paul & Linda McCartney U.S. Distributor: United Artists
Following six James Bond movies with Sean Connery (and one with the dead-on-arrival George Lazenby), it was difficult -- to say the least -- for fans to accept the transition to wisecracking Roger Moore when he debuted in 1973. It didn't help that his introductory film was one of the worst Bonds of all time (ranking alongside Moore's OCTOPUSSY and Timothy Dalton's THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS). Worse still, the only thing about LIVE AND LET DIE to weather the test of time is its title song (written by Paul & Linda McCartney, and performed by Wings).
After dealing with SPECTRE and megalomaniacs for his first seven films, Bond is pitted against a different kind of villain in LIVE AND LET DIE -- the conscienceless Dr. Kananga (Yaphet Kotto), the ruler of a small Caribbean island and would-be monopolistic heroin supplier. When three British agents are murdered, Bond is sent to investigate. With an assist from old pal Felix Leiter (David Hedison, the only man to play the role more than once), 007 begins his scrutiny of Kananga. The resulting search leads him from Harlem to the Louisiana bayous, and has him meeting a beautiful Tarot priestess named Solitaire (Jane Seymour), a sinister voodoo doctor (Geoffrey Holder -- the man with the golden laugh), and a modern-day Captain Hook (Julius W. Harris).
Without KGB agents and the threat of worldwide destruction, this 007 adventure seems lame and misplaced. LIVE AND LET DIE sees Roger Moore groping for the right tone for his Bond -- half the time, he appears to be attempting to imitate Connery (although this could be the fault of the screenplay). At least Moore has a modicum of screen presence, which is more than can be said of two other Bonds: Lazenby and Dalton.
Of all the Bond adventures, this is the most dated. One look at the film and it's obvious it was filmed in the '70s. Because much of the action takes place on U.S. city streets, the haircuts and dress styles of the time are distressingly apparent. George Martin's score only adds to the "leisure suit flavor", proving that the definitive Bond composer is John Barry. (This was the first 007 feature that Barry didn't have a direct hand in scoring.)
As is often the case with Bond movies, this one runs too long. There is a speedboat chase that, aside from being executed in a pedestrian fashion, goes on forever. It's not exciting, and the introduction of comic asides with Sheriff J. W. Pepper (Clifton James) are wildly out-of-place. Pepper (who returned in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN), a tough-talking, bigoted buffoon, is fitfully amusing, but the character would be more at home in BENNY HILL than with James Bond.
LIVE AND LET DIE has the requisite action scenes and several enticing women for Bond to woo (including a CIA agent played by Gloria Hendry and Jane Seymour in her first screen appearance), but, in addition to missing Connery's presence, the movie lacks the usual tension and energy. Watching LIVE AND LET DIE isn't a complete waste of time, but there's no overriding reason why anyone should go out of their way to see it unless they're a die-hard Bond fan or are curious about Roger Moore's first turn in the role.

Just noticed this on Ecademy; some not-mobile-marketing guys I met last week mentioned this move to me but it's the first official sign I've seen of it:
"The increase in number and scope of subscription services has brought with it a massive increase in complaints from customers that they have been misled, that money is being taken from their account without their permission, or that they are unable to unsubscribe from these services.WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THIS?
As indicated at the recent Vodafone Aggregators seminar, we are carrying out an urgent review on the operation of subscription based premium rate SMS services. We are pleased to say that this review has been given the support of O2, Orange and T-mobile and the findings will be reported to ICSTIS.
"
So: subscription SMS services have been jumped on by cowboys and Vodafone are going to sort it out.

Introduction
For this week, the goal was to analyze the accessibility rating for this website, the User Science Journal hosted at https://profounddark.games/user-science-journal/. Without thinking too much of it, the initial assumption was that it would have a relatively good accessibility rating because it was based on a standard Bootstrap template. That being said, making an effort to improve accessibility is always a goal worthy of pursuit; with that in mind, this site was put through "the ringer" of accessibility analysis.
Lighthouse and WAVE
Because Google Lighthouse is already an integrated part of Chrome's Developer Tools, it was the first analysis performed. Overall, the site performed reasonably well, scoring an accessibility rating of 75.
The Lighthouse results indicated two major deficiencies on the site with respect to accessibility: (1) the contrast ratio for one type of text (the class post-meta) was not high enough; and (2) several anchors had no descriptive text.
For the WAVE Evaluation, the WAVE Evaluation Tool Chrome plugin was used. Each page was reviewed with respect to accessibility. With respect to problems and errors, the WAVE Evaluation returned very similar results to the Google Lighthouse analysis. WAVE identified the same contrast issue and the textless anchors.
Surprisingly, although each issue appeared multiple times throughout the site, it was only the two issues that were identified as accessibility issues.
Contrast and Readability.
The index page of this blog used a light gray color for some of the text. As the text was displayed on a black background, this caused the text to be difficult to read. The original text color can be seen in the picture below:
The color of that text is defined in the CSS for the whole page. In order to fix it, I simply set the text color to be significantly darker. The original color was #868E96. As there is no particularly good reason to have this text appear in an offset color, the text-color for that class was eliminated so the text would adopt the color of the parent element. This has resolved the issue.
HTML5 and ARIA Tags
The WAVE Evaluation Tool identified different parts of the site that were labeled with HTML5 and/or ARIA semantic tags. All of this had been done without my involvement as part of the original template. All of the pages had properly identified headers and footers. Each blog post page also featured an article tag that I had not realized was there. However, this tag did help identify the main section as an article. Although neither Lighthouse nor the WAVE tool recommended additional tagging, I used this as an opportunity to provide the appropriate section tags for each section of the article/blog post. This was relatively easy to do since the H2 heading tags were all tagged with the class "section-heading." With that in mind, it only made sense to place those within individual sections.
Although I am less familiar with ARIA, I thought I should at least make some effort to include appropriate ARIA tags where I could. As each post page was essentially just the individual article, I thought it appropriate to add a role attribute on the article tag that appears on each page. In this case, as it was the main substance of the page, I assigned the "main" role to the tag.
The Missing Links
The missing links are an exceedingly frustrating result of using Font Awesome's icons. Because Font Awesome displays icons use special classes on i tags, this is a difficult situation to fix. After trying a few different ways to include text without eliminating the aesthetic of the icons, I decided to just not worry about it. Automated accessibility tests like Lighthouse and WAVE were useful, but the results here were not especially helpful. Or, in the alternative, they were helpful insomuch that it was a good thing to be aware of but at this time I'm not prepared to make the changes required to fix it.
Small Changes
Going through and re-writing small things throughout the website prompted one additional change: the navigation menu. In the original permutation of the page, the drop-down menu under "Blog" (above) had a list of the blog posts with the titles Post 1, Post 2, and so forth.
As that wasn't particularly helpful, I felt it would be more appropriate to include the actual names of each post. So, for each page on the site, I went through and re-wrote the blog menu. This was partially inspired by the observation by Lighthouse and WAVE regarding the anchor tags with no text. Although this wasn't the exact same issue, the intent of the problem was the same: these links had poor text to guide the user. Therefore, the titles for each post were implemented.
One other small change made to each post was to change the way that the images were being displayed. This post actually presented two challenges: (1) many of the images were snapshots of the page, making it difficult to distinguish between image and post; and (2) not all images centered properly using the img-fluid class. To solve the first problem, the img-thumbnail class was used to put the "thumbnail border" around it. In order to ensure all images, even small ones, were centered, the classes mx-auto and d-block were used to force centering. These were minor changes but they were meant to improve the overall appearance and accessibility of the site.
Conclusions
Overall, a quick review by WAVE and Lighthouse showed that there were some easy changes that could be made to make the site better for accessibility purposes. Those results also prompted me to think about how I might make changes in the future to further improve accessibility. Although the Google Lighthouse Accessibility score only moved up to 86 after making changes, that was still improvement enough to feel good about the process.

I have always avoided making chocolate tarts because I have never really felt that the pastry served the chocolate, or was worth the effort. This is my simple solution: make a base out of chocolate biscuits. And the filling is just as easy to make, too. I never lie about how effortless something is to make, but no one will believe me on this one.
For this recipe you will need a 23cm/9in deep-sided (approx. 5cm/2in deep), loosebottomed flan tin.
For the base, snap the biscuits into pieces and drop them into the bowl of a food processor. Do likewise with the chocolate, then blitz them together until you have crumbs. Add the butter and salt, and blitz again until the mixture starts to clump together. If you’re doing this by hand, bash the biscuits in a freezer bag until they form crumbs, finely chop the chocolate and melt the butter, then mix everything, along with the salt, in a large bowl with a wooden spoon or your hands encased in disposable vinyl gloves.
Press into your tart tin and pat down on the bottom and up the sides of the tin with your hands or the back of a spoon, so that the base and sides are evenly lined and smooth. Put into the fridge to harden for at least 1 hour, or 2 hours if your fridge is stacked. I wouldn’t keep it for longer than a day like this as the crust tends to get too crumbly.
For the filling, finely chop the chocolate. Put the cornflour into a cup and whisk in the milk until smooth. (I find it easier to use cups for the liquids – in which case the milk measure is equivalent to an American quarter cup, and you’ll need 2 cups of cream.)
Pour the cream into a heavy-based saucepan into which all the ingredients can fit and be stirred without splashing out of the pan, then add the finely chopped rubble of chocolate, the sieved cocoa (or just sieve it straight in), espresso or instant coffee powder, sugar, vanilla paste or extract, olive oil and smoked salt. Place over a medium to low heat and whisk gently – I use a very small whisk for this, as I’m not aiming to get air in the mixture, I’m just trying to banish any lumpiness – as the cream heats and the chocolate starts melting.
Off the heat, whisk in the cornflour and milk mixture until it, too, is smoothly incorporated, and put the pan back on a low heat. With a wooden spoon, keep stirring until the mixture thickens, which it will do around the 10-minute mark, but be prepared for it to take a few minutes more or less. Take the pan off the heat every so often, still stirring, so that everything melds together, without the cream coming to a boil.
Pour into a wide measuring jug or batter jug (it should come to about the 600ml/1 pint mark). Now run a piece of baking parchment or greaseproof paper under the cold tap, wring it out and place the damp, crumpled piece right on top of the chocolate mixture, then put the jug into the fridge for 15 minutes. The mixture will still be warm, but will be the right temperature to ooze into the base without melting it.
Pour and scrape the mixture into the biscuit-lined flan tin and put back in the fridge overnight. Don’t leave it longer than 24 hours, as the base will start to soften.
Take out of the fridge for 10 minutes before serving, but unmould straight away. Sit the flan tin on top of a large tin or jar and let the ring part fall away, then transfer the dramatically revealed tart to a plate or board. Leave the tin base on.
Slice modestly – this is rich and sweet, and people can always come back for more – and serve with crème fraîche; the sharpness is just right here. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 4–5 days, but the base will soften and the sides crumble a bit. That will not detract from your eating pleasure too much, but I still like to give it its first outing at optimal stage!

To hear and laugh
The worst of follies
The haughty folly
Nihilism
Skepticism
It's too easy to be a skeptic
Ignore the speckles of light
To oversimplify

The disease of real fools

Yet it's impossible
It's nauseating
It's artificial
It's impossible
To not see
To take it as delusion
Dear happiness

Not a delusion of reality
But reality itself
The purest and goldest
These freckle of reality
The realest of them
The clearest of them

Answer:
Each character in the string resides in its own cell. Index
positions point between cells. The string "foo"
starts at index 0 and ends at index 3, even though the characters
only occupy cells 0, 1, and 2.
Answer:
An ordinary character in a regular expression matches itself. A
metacharacter is a special character that affects the way a
pattern is matched. The letter A
is an ordinary
character. The punctuation mark .

If every object had to be coded and debugged once for each time it was used, OOP would provide few benefits over standard procedural programming. Many objects share similar functionality and could easily make use of the same code over and over again. The concepts of class and inheritance allow objects with similar data structures and methods to use common code.
The class is actually where the functionality of objects is defined. Every object is simply an
instance
of a class, a manifestation of the instance data and methods defined for the class. For example, the Counter object of Objects, Messages, and Methods
could be an instance of a class called
CounterClass
. Other counters sharing the same characteristics would also be instances of
CounterClass
, each having its own value in its own instance data field.
A main benefit of the implementation of classes in GEOS is that objects can be created and destroyed during execution. Class definitions are stored separately from an individual instance's data; each instance knows where its class is located. Therefore, if two instances of a particular class exist, they both point to a single copy of the class definition. Since the code is stored in the class definition, the instances can use up only as much memory as their data fields require; each instance does not need to store its own method code.
Another, more powerful, benefit is gained through the implementation of inheritance. In many cases, objects will be similar but not identical. This means that their classes are also similar but not identical. Inheritance overcomes this problem through the use of superclasses and subclasses .
A class provides a certain set of instance data and methods. A subclass inherits all the instance data structures and methods of its superclass, modifying or enhancing them to provide some different functionality.
Take, for example, the class
CounterClass
. An instance of this class would provide a counter with certain features: The counter goes from zero to 100, it can be reset manually, it resets automatically when it reaches 100, and its value is retrieved with the use of a certain message. However, suppose we need a counter that does all those things
and
allows the counter to be set to an arbitrary value with the use of a new message.
Without inheritance, we would have to write all the code for
CounterClass
over again as a new class, adding the new method. However, by creating a subclass of
CounterClass
(let's call it
CounterSetClass
), we can inherit all the methods and data structures of
CounterClass
without recoding them. Instead, we simply add the new message and the code for the new method. (It is also possible to modify inherited methods in a subclass.) This example of
CounterClass
and
CounterSetClass
is shown in the figure above.
The inheritance implemented in GEOS is actually much more complex and sophisticated than this simple example shows. You may never need to know more than the above concepts, however.
GEOS classes may be of a special type known as a variant . Variant classes do not initially know what their superclass is; instead, the superclass is determined by context for each instance of the variant class. This is a complicated topic that is discussed later in the documentation.

Netizens Say 'Naughty Boy' to Ex-UN Envoy over His Picture with Bollywood Actress
New Delhi (Sputnik): Senior Congress leader and former Indian representative at the UN, Shashi Tharoor, often charms people, according to reports, with his eloquent English and oratory.
This time, India’s opposition party legislator became a reason for the envy of several youngsters after he took to Twitter to share a picture with actress and model Arti Chabria.
The senior congress legislator was full of praise for the actress and gushed about how, with felicity and charm, she manages both her Bollywood career and a husband in Perth.
The tweet led to an avalanche of responses, as some compared him to American pornstar Jonny Sinns, while others called him a reason for depression among youngsters for charming women with ease.
Others took him with hilarious memes.
Known for his impeccable English diction that often sounds French even to the literati, Tharoor previously amazed celebrity watchers by describing a book about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as "more than just a 400-page exercise in floccinaucinihilipilification.
According to the Cambridge Dictionary of the English Language, 'floccinaucinihilipilification' is defined as the act of considering something to be not at all important or useful, and is the longest non-technical word in the dictionary.
Tharoor is also facing trail in the suicide of his wife Sunanda Pushkar, who was found dead in a hotel suite in New Delhi on 17 January, 2014. His private messages with Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar also became a point of argument in the case, hinting at a relationship between the two.

This weekend I went back home to Pennsylvania, so I went shooting with a friend in Harrisburg. We started in the parking garage in downtown and walked around.
While in the lower leves we took a few photos. Here's my friend Justin doing anything to get the shot
My favorite shot from the roll, from the top floor of the parking garage.
Walking around an area outside Harrisburg, Justin and I found a funeral(?) setup in front of a decrepit building.
An Odd warehouse/antique store we came across called Atomic Warehouse. The owner at the cash register gave me a the creeps. Larger white guy, wearing a leopard print fedora and bright pink jacket. He must’ve been on drugs or his brain has been fried by drugs. Interesting guy, didn’t buy anything.
Getting later in the day, across the street while taking this shot a couple in a car called out to us to have their picture taken. Pictured is the girl (I didn't catch their names).
The couple modelling for their repesctive photos. As I was talking to them they said “You guys aren’t scared to be around here? You’re going to make it in this world.”
After a long day of walking, we went back to my hometown to get some Chick Fil A. Since I’m vegetarian I can’t eat most of their menu, but I can still enjoy the fries.
At Justin’s house, his family has two Dachshunds and his father loves them. He has several plush toys of wiener dogs around the house.
By now, Jusin and I were both tired so we parted ways and I passed out. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of my bed. So instead, here is a recreation by Ferris Halemeh.

I'm still not convinced by this, but I was chatting to Mix Master El Bastardos Rock Star about it yesterday and he made a couple of points:
"...the thing is that BT enables you to have a nice level of anonymity and be playful before committing yourself. I think this is what people like... also the immediacy of it (i.e. the fact that it's someone nearby) probably gives somewhat of a kick."
The idea of "playfulness" and its important in this sort of communication isn't something that had occurred to me. Mind you, then he said:
"I do think it would be quite nice though if your personality could be tattooed on your forehead as a bar code (as you once aspired to). I think we should then be given optical scanners and scan each other to see if we are interesting. That would be cool."

Personal Rules by @rakeshtembhurne. Disables auto jumping keys which are typed-in automatically anytime causing unwanted typed characters or behavior.
For me key `left_option` started turning on anytime, causing weird symbols to appear while writing. Also it is in pressed down state always, causing every other key to behave differently. Sometimes I could not even log in as correct password is not being typed. Similar things happened with number 9 key. It started auto typing automatically.
This configuration is settings for disabling 'left_option' key and '9' key (which is also a '(' when used with shift key). With these configs applied, normal behavior of key 9 will be disabled and they will only work when they are pressed with 'fn' button.
So, fn + 9 will be 9, and fn + shift + 9 will be '('. Disabled keys will be left_option, 9 and shift + 9 which is '('.

I grew up as a Navy brat for a significant part of my life — pretty much all of elementary school. Being a “brat” means one or both of your parents were in the service. My dad was a helicopter pilot for the Navy and the best part about being a military brat is that you get to move – a lot.
I was born in Pensacola, Florida, but lived in places such as Norfolk, Virginia, San Diego, California, Guam and, finally, Japan for three-and-a-half years. Living overseas, I got the opportunity to have so much life experience at such an early age.
I crossed the world's busiest intersection. I learned origami and picked up Japanese phrases. I learned customs and visited temples. I even got to travel to other countries like Australia, China and Vietnam.
Now, I live in Athens, Ohio, as a full-time college student.
Athens is a relatively small town, with a population right around 25,000. It’s teeming with small businesses and 20-somethings as Ohio University’s campus is a major pillar of the community. But, it’s also one of the poorest counties in Ohio.
Including the student population, over 50% of Athens residents have income levels below the poverty line, according to the Athens County Economic Development Council.
It’s a stark contrast from living on a Navy base, and while I miss the “drop-everything-and-move” life I once had, it’s not because I don’t like where I currently live.
I love Athens, and I wouldn’t change any of the choices that led me here. I was thrilled when I got my acceptance letter into the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism on OU’s main campus.
And I’m not alone. Bridget “Bridge” Coffey had an ultimatum: If she wasn’t excited when she opened her acceptance letter from OU, she would join the military.
“And if I don't like it, the Navy's going to be there,” Bridge said.
Bridge, a senior double-majoring in global studies: war and peace and political science, was born in Yokosuka, Japan – the same place I had been stationed for over three years. Bridge is the oldest of four and has lived in Florida, Whidbey Island off Washington State, Hawaii, Maryland, Bahrain and finally, Columbus, Ohio.
“My parents always growing up called us the ultimate souvenirs,” she laughed.
When people ask her where she’s from, Bridge usually says her family is from Columbus. She doesn’t feel as connected to that area as some of her siblings, as she only spent two years there before coming to Athens for school.
However, deciding where to come to college wasn’t exactly easy for her either.
“Home is where the Navy sends you,” Bridge said. “I have to make a choice, and if I don’t like it, I can’t just be like, ‘Oh, well, I’m leaving … it’s a much bigger commitment.”
Bridge explained she didn’t want to go far from home because being in the military had made her close with her family, and she didn’t want to miss out on anything. OU was the only school she applied to.
“It was hard and really overwhelming, just having the choice of picking where you’re going to go,” she said.
In areas like Maryland and Columbus, Bridge said she met people who had never left the area and while they were eager to hear about her international experiences, Bridge said there’s “always a flip side.”
“It’s not all sunshine and roses, you know?” she said.
For me, the flip side affected my hobbies. Since the age of three, I have been dancing. Now, many of the dancers I knew grew up doing competition dance have retained their skills even to this day. I’ve been left out of these conversations where my peers have bonded about their shared background, because this was never an option for me.
For Bridge, it happened after she established herself in travel softball. She wanted to play in college, but after moving to Bahrain, she described the experiences as just “different opportunities.”
“We moved to the Middle East, and they don’t have softball,” Bridge said. “I was the only girl on the baseball team and I picked up basketball, soccer, net ball. It was cool and I’m glad I got to do it, but coming back here, it was just too hard and too fast.”
Her younger brother, Kyle Coffey, had a similar experience. He started playing football in the fourth grade but had to give it up once they moved to Bahrain. Luckily, he started to play rugby instead, and still plays today.
Kyle, a sophomore studying communication sciences and disorders, said he always thought he would follow in his dad’s footsteps and join the military or some kind of uniformed service.
“Once we moved here to Ohio, this was the first time we’ve lived somewhere for more than four years,” Kyle said. “So, it was nice, just being in one place and knowing people and being able to grow with people.”
Kyle echoed Bridge’s sentiment about being close with her family, and said he was influenced to come to OU partially because of her. He said he misses the international foods the most, and being able to vacation in different places when living overseas. But, he likes the stability of Athens.
“When you walk through the streets … you get the sense that it’s been here for a long time, because it has,” Kyle said. “It just feels very solid and grounded. It’s not going anywhere.”
Now, he’s not in any rush to leave Athens.
“I remember, when I was thinking about coming to college, it was like, ‘I don’t want to do any more school, I want to get it done as fast as I can,’” Kyle said. “But now I’m here and I’m like, ‘OK, this is the last time in my life I really get to learn and grow.’”
Despite some of these trade-offs, though, Bridge and I agreed our backgrounds as former Navy brats shaped us into who we are today.
“It definitely honed a lot of what my personality is now, and the way I’m able to interact with people and be outgoing and extroverted,” Bridge said. “I find people easy to talk to, for the most part. And I like to think that people also find me easy to talk to. I feel like that has to do with me just having to do that, or else you’re never going to make friends.”
My experience in the Navy influenced more than just my personality, which I consider to be generally outgoing and extroverted, but my career choice too. Though English had always been my strong suit, choosing a job and major that I felt like I could travel in was important to me, because I wasn’t going to give that up from my past.
Luckily, I found that journalism was the perfect option for me, combining travel and the social skills I had worked so hard to cultivate throughout my life. Bridge said she was also considering OU for photojournalism because of her passion for photography.
“That’s all you have when you move every two years and you may never see people again, you want to remember,” Bridge said. “You take a lot of pictures.”
Both Bridge and Kyle worked with OU’s Veterans and Military Student Services Center, located on the third floor of Baker University Center.
The Center Director Terry St. Peter said the Veteran’s Center doesn’t just serve students, it supports all military-affiliated members of the OU community, including dependents, spouses, veterans and active-duty members. These students span every college, St. Peter said.
Established in 2014, the Center aims to provide advocacy and advising on behalf of military students. For example, St. Peter said the Center has policies in place on what happens if members are activated or deployed to other countries.
“That dependent or a spouse may be impacted if they have to stop their education to take care of the family or to become the breadwinner,” St. Peter said.
St. Peter said the Center also provides resources such as raising awareness of military-affilated students on campus, memorials and a suicide awarness campaign for veterans. He estimated 3,500 students at OU are military-affiliated.
“We created a faculty and staff awareness training program to talk about some of the experiences that our dependents, spouses and veterans have had so they can harness those experiences in their classes,” St. Peter said. “They bring a wealth of knowledge, potentially of diversity (and) experiences if they’ve traveled across the country and moved across the globe.”
St. Peter, who served for over 20 years and did two tours in Germany, said it’s important to him that students are able to adjust to life in Ohio after they’ve been living overseas.
“We have students that are attending school here that have parents that are still serving overseas,” he said. “To have a network or to have a friendly face here that they can turn to … is important, and I get that.”
His daughter, Sara Coey, was born abroad in Germany and moved to Athens in the sixth grade.
“Ironically, I actually did not want to come to OU,” Coey said. “We had been in Athens for so long and I just wanted to get away for college … I really started to think about how crazy I would be to not accept free tuition because my dad works for OU.”
Coey, a 2022 graduate of OU who studied nursing, lived almost everywhere from Maine to Germany. When she first moved to Ohio, she felt like she didn’t quite fit in.
“Athens is a smaller community,” she said. “There’s really no other military families and everyone was born here, lived here and knew each other from preschool.”
She had her sights set on The Ohio State University first, but soon realized the Athens community was a better fit for her.
“I had grown up in Athens and it was just normal to me,” she said. “And then seeing how some of these other universities are — feeling like you would just be a number at a bigger university — really made me appreciate the size of OU.”
Coey said she loved the amount of student organizations there were at OU, and felt those helped her be closer to the community.
“I had never considered transferring because I found a couple organizations that I was really involved with,” she said. “I was also a learning community leader for three years. I really enjoyed showing new students OU and showing them everything OU had to offer.”
She encouraged students to not only get involved on campus, but spoke to the value of being involved with the Center.
“I met a lot of dependents who had never heard of the Veteran’s Center,” she said. “There's a lot of scholarships … They have a handful of student jobs to work in their office. I know the workers there love meeting students and actually getting to know them.”
Similar to me, Bridge doesn’t see herself living in the United States forever. He said she has tried to study abroad while in college three different times, but COVID-19 made her unable to do so. She misses the excitement and the uncertainty of being a military brat, she said, but is also focused on her passions now, including sexual and domestic violence advocacy and awareness.
She hopes to work a non-governmental organization job in the Middle East of East Africa that deals with these issues.
“I want to do meaningful things,” she said. “And I know that even if I don't make it back out overseas — I hope to, but even if I can't — I know that what I want to do will always be meaningful everywhere.”


1. INTRODUCTION.
I saw the MTV-effect posted on this site and immediately liked it. I set about
to implementing it in a site of my own and then stumbled on the simple yet rather
ingenious "heart" of the effect. It involved placing multiple buttons
and movie clips on top of eachother (take a look at the original source). A
LOT of work in my case, so I wrote this tiny insignifficant script to do part
of this for me.
2. WHAT DOES IT DO?
This script will take a movieclip instance (with a unique instance name ofcourse)
present on the timeline and duplicate it as many times as you tell it to.
Lets just get to it right away (YOU MUST HAVE TAKEN A LOOK AT THE mtv-effect
FIRST BEFORE CONTINUING!!!)...
3. THE SCRIPT ITSELF.
// **user definable parameters** // copies = "54"; instance = "reg1"; dupename = "reg"; hamount = "5"; // **initial copying setup** // xpos = getProperty(instance,_x); ypos = getProperty(instance,_y); instpos = xpos; instw = getProperty(instance,_Width); insth = getProperty(instance,_Height); // **copying loop starts here** // for (j=2; j < copies+2; j++) { xpos = xpos + instw; if (xpos > instpos + hamount * instw) { xpos = instpos; ypos = ypos + insth; } duplicateMovieClip(instance,dupename add j,j); setProperty(dupename add j,_x,xpos); setProperty(dupename add j,_y,ypos); }
Now, what the HELL does this all mean... Okay...
The script makes a number of copies (copies variable) of the instance
which name resides in the insance variable. You should give the instance
a name ending with "1" (not really necessary though). The copied instances
will be named dupename + a number starting from "2". In the
case of the script the first duplicate of reg1 will be named reg2.
The hamount variable stores how many copies you wish to be placed on
one line. When this line is full, it will advance to the next one.
The next bit of the script retrieves some information from the original movieclip.
This is used lateron for the placement of the copies. I think this is pretty
self explanatory, except maybe for the instpos variable. This one just
keeps the original x position of the original movieclip, since we're gonna mess
around with the xpos variable lateron. This implies that YOU HAVE TO
place the original movieclip on the canvas where you want the copying to "start".
The script will start adding the copies horizontally behind the first movieclip.
PAY ATTENTION: getProperty() retrieves information from the FIRST frame in the movieclip. If this frame is empty, the script will NOT work as it's supposed to. You can solve this by putting an object (e.g. a square) that represents the size (width & height) of the movieclip in the first frame (POSITION IT CORRECTLY). To make it invisible, just give it an alpha value of 0%. You can also remove the getProperty() call and enter the width (instw) and height (insth) manually Be sure it's correct though!!!!.
Now we're getting to the acual duplication of the movieclip. I'm using a for
loop here which (according to the documentation) is Flash 5 ONLY!!!! (Flash
4 seems to have been released with severe limitations. Not even a for loop,
or a loop at all for that matter 8)))) Anyway, we start by giving j (dunno
why I took j, normally you would take "i") a value of "2"
(our original instance name ended with a "1" and we don't want to
overwrite it, hence we start with "2"). J will be the counter
inside the for loop. The loop will stop as soon as j exceeds our
total number of copies. (+2 since we sarted counting there. If you want 54 copies
and you start counting from 2, then you'll have 54 copies when you reach 56.
So you'll have to stop when j > 56). j++ simply increments
j by one (C-like stuff, you know), this is done AFTER every execution
of the statements within the loop.
Inside the loop:
We first advance one horizontal position. Then we check if we have exceeded
our horizontal bounds. If so, we reset our horizontal position and then we advance
one vertical line.
Now we know our position is right and we duplicate the movieclip adding our
counter j to its name to make sure we still have a unique instance name.
We then set its properties to the correct values (duplicateMovieClip() retains
the old information from the original movieclip) and we have one copy.
Re-read the text copies times and you know what the flash player will
go through when presented with this script 8))).
If you find the init in the previous script too bulky, then you can always do
it like this:
// **user definable parameters** // copies = "54"; instance = "reg1"; dupename = "reg"; hamount = "5"; // **initial copying setup** // movx = getProperty(instance,_x); movy = getProperty(instance,_y); // **copying loop starts here** // for (j=2; j>copies+2; j++) { movx = movx + getProperty(instance,_Width); if (movx > getProperty(instance,_x) + hamount * getProperty(instance,_Width)) { movx = getProperty(instance,_x); movy = movy + getProperty(instance,_Height); } duplicateMovieClip(instance,dupename add j,j); setProperty(dupename add j,_x,movx); setProperty(dupename add j,_y,movy); }
But this way of doing things is not the way you should learn to code! It's simply
not very clever to keep calling getProperty() over and over every time you need
it. It's better to keep it in a variable like the previous version of the script.
Why? Well, for example, if you like to change the width or height of you movie
clip manually, then you just have to adjust some variables in the first script,
while in the second script you'll have to go over it COMPLETELY by hand. It's
just how fast you want to work. If you had to go over a 100 line script MANUALLY
to apply those changes, well then... I'd wish you good luck 8).
IMPLEMENTATION.
Okay, that was the script... How to implement it then...? You should place this
script on the same frame as your original movieclip that you want to copy. It's
not necessary, but it's beter to keep things together that belong together,
or am I making a wrong assumption here? You could also place it on a separate
layer in THE SAME timeline as the one where the movieclip that will be copied
resides.
 I have included an example to show you what
I used the MTV-effect for. Have a look at it and it'll become clear.
I said in the beginning of this tutorial that it takes care of part of all the
work you have to do manually. You still need an equal amount of buttons to controll
the movieclips. I've been searching for a way to duplicate them too (you'd have
to put the button inside a movieclip to duplicate it, ofcourse). The problem
is that you'd have to be able to change the actions of a copied button, wich
is impossible as far as I know.
I've tried to make the button figure out the insance name of the movieclip it's
in. If one could do that, the problem would be solved: you can give the buttons
a number when you duplicate them and then you can addres the corresponding movieclip
as follows: "<clipname>" add "<buttonclipnumber>".
For example :
on (rollOut) { tellTarget ("reg" add butname){ gotoAndPlay ("go"); } }
This ofcourse after you've figured out the button's instance name and put it
in the butname variable (yes BUTname, haha).
Just have a look at the example. I hope I haven't been going too fast. But then
again, you CAN read the text ALL over again 8).


Returns the content as a string or JSON object.
| content | any, any JavaScript value |
| options | object, specifies the available render options. May be omitted in which case the default render settings are assumed |
| format | string, (default: html ) supported render output types are html , string and json |
| depth | int, (default: 2) the number of levels the renderer will traverse in the content : this limits the depth of traversal of arrays and objects |
| renderObjects | any, (default: true) when set to false , objects are represented by an empty string; when set to true an object is traversed and printed as a multiline JavaScript-format-like set (without doublequotes around strings), unless the format is json in which case the processed object is returned, where each attribute is processed through w2utils.render ; when renderOptions is a function that function will be invoked with the parameters (content, options) as available at the current traversal level and the return value of this function call is used verbatim. Any other value for renderOptions will be coerced to a string and used as the text representing the object in the output |

string

) or a valid JSON object (for format json
)
This function can be used to ensure the expected string representation is (at least technically) comprehensible: a null
content value is represent by the string "null"
rather than an empty string, while objects, functions, etc., which do not produce anything legible through String()
coercion, are rendered to reasonable string representations.
Use this function when your reguolarly expected value is a string, but you want to 'catch' other types and have them printed at least showing something; the fact that w2utils.render
creates string representations of objects and functions also means that any unexpected arrival of such types at the w2utils.render
call will become clearly visible in the output, aiding fast problem analysis (a lot of these 'incorrect value types' would otherwise turn up as empty strings and hide under the grass, so to speak).
w2utils.render
can also be used to turn any arbitrary object into a representative object which is legal JSON; the options.depth
limit ensures that any cyclic object instances do not crash the system while still producing a JSON object which can be used for (remote?) diagnosis.

The design tab allows you to select a custom page layout and optionally apply different css styles to it on this page only. Refer to the Page Layouts section below for instructions on how to best use Page Layouts.
You may place javascript here that you would like appended to the < head > of the page.
Allows you to turn on comments and an rss feed for this page. If the rss feed is enabled a visitor can subscribe to this page and they will receive each child page in their rss reader.
Revisions is a very powerful and handy feature for editing an existing page. Let's say a new employee really messes up a page edit. Just select a date that you would like to revert the page to and click Save! You can even compare revisions to see what has changed.
Page layouts allows you to control the layout of the page without modifying the theme files. You can embed tags into the page layout instead of placing them in every page. For example: If you have a twitter feed widget that you want to display at the bottom of every page you can just place the widget tag in the page layout:
{pyro:page:title}
{pyro:page:body}
< div class="my-twitter-widget" >
{pyro:widgets:instance id="1"}
< /div >
Now you can apply css styling to the "my-twitter-widget" class in the CSS tab.


One great feature of the jsPlumb Toolkit is the way client side templating is baked right in - your Node, Group and Port definitions in the View declare the id of some template to use and the Toolkit takes care of the rest.
Rotors is the default template adapter in the jsPlumb Toolkit. You can use
any templating mechanism you want to - you just need to write an appropriate adapter, and provide this function
as the value of the templateRenderer
parameter - but it is recommended that you use Rotors, because Rotors'
ability to update previously rendered content means that you can update your UI "automatically" from a change to
the data.
Here's what the table
template looks like in the Database Visualizer application:

and here's tmplColumn
:

Notice any non-standard HTML in there? The jsPlumb Toolkit supports declarative source/target/endpoint configuration, discussed in Connectivity below.
These templates are matched to Node/Port types in the Database Visualizer's view
. Here's an edited snippet of
the view:
nodes: {
"table": {
template: "tmplTable"
}
...
},
...
ports: {
"default": {
template: "tmplColumn",
...
}
}
When using the default template engine, your templates must return a single root node. If you return multiple nodes, the Toolkit will use the first node only.
As shown above, the Node and Port definitions passed as part of the view
parameter on a render
call allow you to
specify a template
to be used to render an instance of the given type. Sometimes you will find that you have nothing
other than a template
directive in a Node or Port definition. So to cut down on boilerplate, the Toolkit will make
a guess at a suitable template id if you do not provide.
The inferred template id consists of "jtk-template-"
as a prefix, followed by the type of the object. So in the
previous example, a Node of type table
would have an inferred template id of jtk-template-table
.
The default template resolution mechanism is to look for a
The key here is that the type
is text/x-jtk-templates. There may be one or more templates declared in the specified file.
This example is one from one of the Toolkit's unit tests; the file contains several templates. Here's the first two:

You can have multiple x-jtk-templates
scripts declared in your html. Note, though, that the loading of these scripts postpones the firing of the ready
event in the Toolkit,
so you should ensure you're not getting any 404s and what you are loading is loading quickly.
