Apple Reportedly Blocked Police iPhone Hacking Tool and Nobody Knows How
Apple’s latest iteration of iOS has reportedly turned the GrayKey hacking device into an expensive doorstop. Law enforcement around the world has taken to using GrayKey to break into locked iPhones but it appears Apple has finally gotten ahead of the device’s crafty manufacturers. For now.
Forbes’ Thomas Brewster has been on top of the GrayKey saga from the beginning. On Wednesday, he cited sources from the forensic community who’ve told him that Apple’s efforts to keep bad actors and law enforcement from cracking into its users’ phones have paid off. According to the report, the $15,000 tool made by a shadowy company called Grayshift is now only capable of performing a “partial extraction” of data. It can pull a few unencrypted files and some metadata that’s virtually worthless.

Is “Statistics Shadowbanning” The Latest Big-Tech Salvo Against Conservatives?
With perhaps the most significant midterm election in decades nigh, big tech’s censorship of conservatives has kicked into high gear. And while Facebook’s recent purge of right-leaning pages is obvious and has made news, perhaps just as destructive is the stealth censorship. A good example may be the report of WordPress’ “statistics shadowbanning” of Whatfinger News.
Whatfinger is an increasingly popular news aggregator that is run by military veterans; it’s like a non-establishment version of Drudge, only more comprehensive, more conservative, and more interesting.
And assuredly more targeted for destruction.

Police in Bartow, Fla., say they arrested two middle school girls Tuesday who brought butcher knives and a pizza cutter to school and told detectives they had been planning to stab more than a dozen students to death.
“They told us they were Satan worshipers,” Bartow Police Chief Joe Hall said at a news conference on Wednesday. “They did make comments that they were willing to drink blood and possibly eat flesh.”
The two preteens, aged 11 and 12, were enrolled in sixth and seventh grade, respectively, at Bartow Middle School. The Washington Post generally does not identify juveniles charged with crimes unless they are tried as adults.

Self-Defense Against a Knife: Tips & Tactics From an Expert
This article appeared originally as “Blade Runner” in the January 2017 issue of Shooting Illustrated.
In recent years, curbside stabbings in Jerusalem, slashings in New York and an edged-weapon assault injuring eight at a shopping mall in Minnesota are clear examples of a disturbing trend of knife attacks against civilians. Although we may all be potential victims of physical violence, few of us are fully equipped to handle such assaults.
Being prepared for a knife attack is 50 percent physical and 50 percent psychological. Most human beings fear the unknown, and that is especially true of a knife attack. Because we are unfamiliar with the mechanics of a knife attack, it makes us feel uncomfortable and squeamish. It’s up-close. It’s personal. And it could potentially end in loss of blood, limb or life.

Trump Complains About Twitter Removing His Followers
WASHINGTON (AFP) — US President Donald Trump complained Friday that Twitter is removing some of his followers and has made it harder to join, an apparent critique of the social network’s efforts to weed out fake and abusive accounts.
Trump, who has some 55 million Twitter followers, revived his argument about “bias” by internet firms in a morning tweet that suggested growth in his network was slowing.
“Twitter has removed many people from my account and, more importantly, they have seemingly done something that makes it much harder to join — they have stifled growth to a point where it is obvious to all,” he wrote…

Canada’s ‘Climate Barbie’ Catherine McKenna Mistakes CO2 for Air Pollution
The Canadian Minister of Environment and Climate Change has justified the nation’s new carbon tax by suggesting that carbon dioxide is a pollutant.
In a tweet Tuesday, Catherine McKenna, confused the issue of air pollution with emission of greenhouse gases such as CO2. “Canadians know that pollution isn’t free,” the minister wrote. “We see the costs in storms, floods, and wildfires — that’s why we’ve announced we’re putting a price on pollution. It’s good for the environment and it’s good for the economy.”

“While Mr. Hamdan has no history of violence, he has praised lone wolf attacks, actively promoted the Islamic State, disseminated instructions on how to commit attacks and seems fascinated with the extreme violence of the Islamic State demonstrated by possessing Islamic State videos depicting gruesome murders,” IRB member Marc Tessler wrote in an Oct. 18 decision.

Hesse Election: Merkel Facing Double Trouble in German Vote
Rarely is a regional election so closely scrutinised. But then rarely does so much hang upon the outcome of a state vote.
Even before the first voters set foot in Hesse’s polling stations, it is widely accepted that what happens in Hesse will have consequences in Berlin. For the German government and perhaps even for the German leader herself.
Angela Merkel’s party is expected to suffer humiliating losses on Sunday. The CDU leads a coalition government with the Green party in Hesse.
If the party does as badly as polls suggest, that alliance will no longer be viable and the state prime minister and Merkel-loyalist Volker Bouffier, who has ruled the region since 2010, may be out of a job.

Italy: Environment Ministry Says No Unlawful Aspects in TAP
Sent report to Conte
(ANSA) — Rome, October 26 — The environment ministry on Friday sent its evaluation of the previous government’s environmental impact study on the TransAdriatic Pipeline (TAP) to Premier Giuseppe Conte. Environment Minister Sergio Costa said the evaluation revealed “no unlawful aspects”. The TAP, which will transport Caspian natural gas to Europe, had been opposed by the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) when it was in opposition. M5S is now one of the two ruling parties along with the anti-migrant Euroskeptic League, and some M5S members of the government have recently signalled they will allow the much-anticipated project to go ahead after all.

Italy: 4th Desirée Man Nabbed in Foggia
Police trying to see what role Ghanaian had in gang rape, murder
(ANSA) — Rome, October 26 — The fourth man suspected in the gang rape and murder of Desirée Mariottini, a 32-year-old Ghanaian, was arrested Friday in Foggia.
Investigators said they were trying to establish what role he had in the death of the 16-year-old from Cisterna di Latina in Rome’s San Lorenzo district last week.
The Ghanaian was caught in possession of around 10 kg of marijuana, police said.
The drugs were found in the hut he was holed up in, in a shanty-town around a migrant centre at Borgo Mezzanotte.
The man, Yusif Salia, had a humanitarian stay permit that ran out in January 2014.
In March this year police took him to Rome’s immigration office to be identified.
On that occasion he was told to go to the Naples police HQ to get valid papers. Two Senegalese drug pushers and a Nigerian man have already been arrested in the case.
The Desirée case is no excuse for vigilante patrols in the drug-ridden and bohemian Roman district, Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi said Friday.
“Vigilante patrols are no use, but things like the control of the neighbourhood, which we are already trialling,” she said.
“A choral activity which hinges on citizens who supply information to support police,” she said. “I oppose all types of vision proposing the use of indiscriminate private force to solve public-order and social issues”.
Earlier this week Raggi banned alcohol from the streets of San Lorenzo from nine o’clock at night.
Lower House Speaker Roberto Fico meanwhile said “no to the bulldozers” invoked by hardline anti-migrant Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, “but love and social cohesion”.
Justice Minister Alfonso Bonafede said the government would weigh a new decree on violence against women.

Swiss Love Italian Wines, Valpolicella in Spotlight
Consorzio stops in Zurich, where 11% of Amarone is imported
(ANSA) — Rome, October 26 — The Swiss market is a growing one for Italian wines, with 2.4 billion euros worth of wine imported in 2017.
The country’s eight million residents drank an average of 40 litres of wine per person in 2017.
These factors make Switzerland a prime country for high-quality wines from the Valpolicella area.
The Swiss drink 11% of Amarone, making it one of the most prominent countries for the Verona-based “big red”.
Exports of Valpolicella DOC to Switzerland reached 8%, with 4% for Ripasso della Valpolicella.
“The Swiss love Italian wines and wines from our territory; they appreciate high-quality wines,” said Valpolicella Wines Consortium Director Olga Bussinello.
She spoke in light of an upcoming event on October 29 in Zurich that will cap October festivities for the DOC wine’s 50th anniversary.
Among the events planned in Zurich is a “Walk Around Tasting” at the Metropol, where 14 Valpolicella DOC vineyards will be represented, along with 13 producers from the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG area.
Amarone della Valpolicella will feature in two masterclasses conducted by Christian Eder, Italian correspondent for Switzerland’s main wine magazine, VINUM.
In addition, the Consorzio Tutela Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore consortium will renew its collaboration with the magazine.

“Satoko and Nada”: Japanese Manga on Islamic Culture

Japan is totally disconnected from the rest of the “western” world. In fact they always had zero migration policy. It must be a very unhappy country without the good things and advancement that multiculturalism and diversity could bring to them.
