Since the work required great detail, the women were told to “point” the small brush head with their lips, thus ingesting a small amount of radium every time. Products that didn’t have anything to do with radium carried the name of the expensive metal to add allure — similar to the way we use words like “platinum” or “titanium” today. Numerous are the ads of this time for wares like “radium silk lingerie” and decks of cards with the word “radium” emblazoned on them.

Further northeast, low salinities seen in well data from onshore Martha’s Vineyard10 and Nantucket11 have also suggested low-salinity submarine groundwater is present, although there has been no offshore drilling to confirm this hypothesis. We used a recently developed surface-towed controlled source EM (CSEM) system16 in combination with the passive-source magnetotelluric (MT) method to map low-salinity groundwater systems in two locations on the US Atlantic coast: offshore Martha’s Vineyard and New Jersey (Fig. 1). Direct pore water salinity measurements offshore New Jersey correspond well with our resistivity model (Fig. 2d).

The end goal of this project is to adapt TriforceAFL for NetBSD syscall fuzzing. The working package is now available in can be now used to perform system call fuzzing of NetBSD kernels using AFL and QEMU. In the coming weeks, the work of optimizing the fuzzer is to be done, so that it is more efficient at catching bugs, I am looking forward to doing so and making TriforceNetBSDSyscallFuzzer available on NetBSD through pkgsrc.

The U.S. Justice Department is pursuing a criminal investigation into claims that some of the country’s biggest poultry companies — including Tyson, Perdue, and Pilgrim’s Pride — orchestrated a massive price-fixing scheme involving broiler chickens. Maplevale’s suit claims that Tyson Foods, Sanderson Farms, Perdue Farms, and Pilgrim’s Pride worked together to drive up the price of broiler chickens by destroying flocks of breeder hens, thereby reducing production rates. • U.S. Probes Claims of Poultry Price-Fixing [Bloomberg]

I set out to understand which website platforms are the best (and the worst), what drives really fast websites, the state of small business SEO, and how well this stuff correlates with Google SERPs. For the

tag:

Clearly if you use Google Local’s website builder they make it easy to create an h1 tag with your business name. Turns out that was some pretty good advice:

By running hundreds of generic Google SMB searches and matching them against our huge list of SMB websites, we can quantify something that seems fairly intuitive: SMB websites with a meta description rank 17% higher than websites without.

The ad is attempting to use the Audio API as one of literally hundreds of pieces of data it is collecting about your browser in an attempt to “fingerprint” it, to uniquely identify you across sites despite your privacy settings. Your browser may be blocking this particular API, but it’s not blocking most of the data. It detects which Audio API capabilities your browser supports.

After losing the first Isonzo battle, Italian politicians had two choices. We see, then, that the self too is an imaginary story, just like nations, gods and money. The narrating self tries to impose order on this chaos by spinning a never-ending story, in which every such experience has its place, and hence every experience has some lasting meaning.

Frog ultimately won the contract and worked with Apple to make the Snow White design, which debuted on the Apple IIc and continued on with the original Mac. In addition to some original wood prototypes for classic Apple devices, the company is also showing other designs it has worked on in its history — from the mundane to the very weird. Frog Design won the proposal and helped Apple design product from 1983 to 1989.

The desperate and tragic plight of a father and daughter who drowned while trying to cross the border from Mexico into the U.S. has become a new flashpoint in the border crisis, after a photographer captured a haunting image that shows the pair lying facedown, washed onto the banks of the Rio Grande. Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez, 25, died as he tried to bring his 23-month-old daughter, Angie Valeria, to safety and a new life in the U.S. Ramírez’s wife, Tania Vanessa Ávalos, says she watched from the shore as her husband and daughter were pulled away by a strong river current near the border crossing between Matamoros, Mexico, and Brownsville, Texas. On the same day Óscar Alberto and Valeria died, U.S. Border Patrol agents found four bodies along the Rio Grande in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, about 55 miles west of Brownsville.

Teams of hackers connected to the Chinese Ministry of State Security had penetrated HPE’s cloud computing service and used it as a launch pad to attack customers, plundering reams of corporate and government secrets for years in what U.S. prosecutors say was an effort to boost Chinese economic interests. Reuters interviewed 30 people involved in the Cloud Hopper investigations, including Western government officials, current and former company executives and private security researchers. “The Chinese Government uses its own intelligence services to conduct this activity and refuses to cooperate with any investigation into thefts of intellectual property emanating from its companies or its citizens,” DOJ Assistant Attorney General John Demers told Reuters.
