Item number SCP-025 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-025 is only to be opened during testing, as is the room in which SCP-025 is stored. Entry codes are to be given only to authorized research and security personnel. No other containment protocol is required. Description SCP-025 is a wooden wardrobe measuring 0.97m by 0.62m by 1.95m, full of clothing dating from a number of time periods. Articles contained within the chest collectively named SCP-025-1 match with styles of decades from the 1920s to the present. The apparel from each timeframe varies with regard to style. For example, a polyester striped shirt and pair of charcoal-suit pants both correspond with general styles of the 1970s. The only unifying aspect of every article contained in SCP-025 is that each was in poor condition. Moths have eaten at much of the collection, and tears and runs are not uncommon. When any item from SCP-025 is put on, the wearer is observed either to die or suffer an injury within 24 hours. The cause of death or injury in these instances is invariably linked to the aforementioned flaws in the clothing, but only ever appears to be an unrelated incident. Wearing a glove with a fingertip cut off may result in the loss of the fingertip through a simple kitchen accident like chopping onions. Similarly, a subject wearing a poncho with a sleeve missing will somehow cause the loss of the uncovered arm. Be it an attack by a wild animal, or a vehicular accident that desicitates the amputation of the limb. If placed in a sealed, unfurnished enclosure while wearing an item from the chest, the wearer will either seemingly spontaneously contract a flesh-eating disease that begins in the areas not covered by the clothing, or suffer the failure of an organ located beneath an imperfection in the article. Events arising from such incidents may or may not be contagious. No study has been successfully undertaken due to the speed at which the strains observed run their course. Recommended that, if possible, samples of the disease be taken to the lab for possible weaponization. Following is an abridged testing log of SCP-025. More thorough testing will accompany the declassification of the document in its entirety.  Test results. Subject was allowed free roam of the halls under agent ████ supervision. For approximately 45 minutes, nothing eventful occurred. However, at ██████ security tapes and eyewitnesses indicate that D-778 appeared to make an attempt at attacking agent ████, he in turn overcame the subject with a knife, causing an inch-deep gash in D-778's left shoulder, precisely at the point where the tuxedo seam was ripped. Test halted. Subject later terminated. D-690, a 26-year-old white male, article, 2004 Boston Red Sox baseball cap, imperfections, missing size adjuster and backup cap, logo in front partially removed. Test results. Placed in a sealed room with the subject was a table on which were a loaded Jericho baby eagle 9mm handgun, a grill lighter, and a hatchet. D-690 chose to wear the cap backward for the test. Potential effects of this decision on the outcome of the test were unknown. Subject expressed reluctance to touch any of the objects on the table for several hours. Food and water were provided as necessary. After four hours of general inactivity, subject picked up the handgun and examined it. While holding it at roughly eye level, the weapon discharged in the D-690's forehead, where the size adjustment band would have been. The round exited the subject near the part of the hat with the missing part of the logo. Subjects.  People seemed to have been partially eaten by moss. Several large holes in the front of the sweater. Test results. D-736 was asked by researching staff to wear the sweater vest, which he did under duress. D-771 was given a loaded handgun out of sight of the other test participant and instructed to, on a given signal, fire all six shots in the direction of D-736. After doing so, it was noted that every shot fired passed through one of the holes in the sweater vest, leaving the clothing intact and killing D-736. Fire arm retreated, surviving subject transported back to quarters. Subject. D-771, a 23-year-old white male, article, sweater vest from above trial, imperfections, same as mentioned. Test results. D-771 was this time placed in an empty room, dimensions 15 meters by 15 meters by 15 meters. Only objects in the enclosure were lights overhead. Subject initially complained of boredom, then lay on his back and went to sleep. After two hours and fourteen minutes, two of the fluorescent light bulbs in the ceiling suddenly dislodged and fell. Both landed squarely on holes in the sweater, shattering upon impact. One of the two had broken the jagged pieces that impaled D-771 in several areas, but only again threw gaps already present in the sweater vest. Subject's vitals persisted for another six minutes, then ceased. Further testing locations will be selected to minimize possible damage to the surrounding area. Subject. Unplanned experiment. An unidentified individual left an article from SCP-025 on Dr. ████'s desk that looked similar to an item of his own clothing. Any information about this incident and or the perpetrator of same should be reported immediately to senior staff. Article. Lightweight scarf. Diet of number of colors. Subjects. Heavily pulled seam caused scarf to be considerably shorter and tighter in the middle. Test results. According to his itinerary, Dr. ████ wearing the item from SCP-025 was en route to the enclosure of SCP-███ on ████ for routine testing. However, he diverged from his intended path and began in a direction towards an entirely separate wing of the facility. It then entered the enclosure of SCP-173 without gathering a complement or following safety procedures and, upon hearing the door closing, blinked. Cause of death listed as strangulation, resulting from a crushed windpipe. Subject. D-802. A 30-year-old Hispanic female. Article. 1980s flash dance style white shirt. Imperfections. Right shoulder removed. First sleeve completely cut off. Entire bottom hem shredded. Test results. All present were presumed infected. Then quarantined and ██████. All further tests involved in 1980s era fashion have been postponed indefinitely due to the expenditures and safety hazard presented by the aforementioned experiment. Full cleanup estimated to take an additional ████ weeks. Further testing authorized. That's now a wedding declassification.


Experts in the global export business have said that the success of Nigeria's local export business in the 21st century will be determined by digital marketing operations. On the breakfast this morning we will also talk sports, analysing the situation in the Chelsea Football Club and also the Super Falcons and the Jenny in the United States of America. Have a look and analysis of the biggest stories on the front pages of today's national dairies all this ahead on the breakfast this morning. Very good morning to you, we're back with the breakfast and plus TV Advocates, a beautiful Friday morning we're reaching you live from our studios on Victoria Island Legos. My name is Kofi Bartels riding solo this morning and of course we start with a top trending segment where Queen Elizabeth II has passed on at the age of 96 with the Charles becoming King. Of course a very unexpected news and of course the Queen just about three days ago was with then incoming British Prime Minister Liz Truss. She was on the feet, the official picture released by the royal family showed her on her feet with a walking stick and many did not expect that Queen Elizabeth II as you are seeing on your screens will be no more in just two days time. She is the UK's longest serving monarch and she died at Balmoral age 96 after reigning for 70 years. She according to royal palace or royal family sources died peacefully on Thursday afternoon at her Scottish estate where she had spent much of the sum of the Queen came to the throne in 1952 and witnessed enormous social change. Of course her son Prince Charles now becomes King Charles III and he said the death of his beloved mother was a moment of great sadness those were his words for him and his family and that her loss would be deeply felt around the world indeed this is a moment of great sadness that's not just for the royal family and you know her close family but indeed the British people and the world at large. We'll take a short short short documentary and we'll put something together just to you know remember the life and times of Queen Elizabeth II. 1948 and who now succeeds her to the death of Queen Elizabeth II has been announced bringing to an end the longest reign of any British monarch. Born on April 21st 1926 the princess had never expected to ascend to the throne but after her uncorking Edward VIII fabricated in 1936 the crown passed to her father George VI. My hair I, whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and to the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong. Tragic news. She was just 25 when she became Queen Elizabeth II in 1952 on the death of her father. And following by the heavily veiled grieving figures. She was crowned the next year at Westminster Abbey. Winston Churchill was the first of her 15 prime ministers and during her 70 year reign there were 14 US presidents. The young Queen Elizabeth spent much of the early years saying farewell to the British Empire amassed by her forebears from Kenya to Hong Kong to Barbados. However, she remained the monarch of 15 countries and head of the Commonwealth. Her own personal union to Prince Philip stayed solid for 74 years until his death in April 2021. The couple had four children beginning with Charles who was born in 1948 and who now succeeds her to the throne. The Queen's life became one of public duty attending thousands of official engagements across the globe. She was loved and respected by many. Millions turned out to celebrate her 70th year on the throne in June 2022. The Queen herself had to step back from some of the partying due to recurring health problems. Commentators agreed that she came across as a dignified, down-to-earth and witty woman. Critics said she was too solemn and distant. A woman recognised by millions but known by hardly anyone. Away from her public duties, horse racing and her beloved corgis were lifelong passions. As was the outdoors, like her estate at Balmoral in Scotland, where she was more at home in tweeds than tiaras. 1992. Her reign was rarely plain sailing. The 40th anniversary of her accession was a year that she famously described as one of disaster and misfortune. It has turned out to be an endless horribilice. Three of her four children's marriages had failed and there was a major fire at her Windsor Castle royal residence. The death of Charles's ex-wife Princess Diana in 1997 was even more harmful to the family's public prestige. As your Queen and as a grandmother, I say from my heart, first I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In years later, some of the damage was repaired by events like the marriage of her grandson, William, to commoner Kate Middleton in 2011, watched by billions around the world. But with Queen Elizabeth's death, the monarchies futures likely to face scrutiny like never before. Polls suggest Charles will be a far less popular British monarch and there are other challenges. Prince Harry and his American wife, Meghan, giving up their royal duties and made accusations of racism has robbed the institution of two of its most popular global figures. And the US sex abuse lawsuit against Prince Andrew, which he paid to settle while admitting no wrongdoing, also left its mark. The death of Britain's Queen Elizabeth finally hands on the duties and heavy responsibility of the monarchy, a task to which she devoted her own life to maintain its popularity in the face of seismic, political, social and cultural change. Right, of course, a life in times of Queen Elizabeth II or passed on at the age of 96 and of course her family released a statement, royal family released a statement. Also, now King Charles released a statement saying that he mourned profoundly the passing of a cherished sovereign and a much loved mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the realms of the Commonwealth and countless people around the world and this will be the case. You know, I mean, of course, some people have also said that Queen Elizabeth lived a long life, very long life indeed and this is just a celebration of life passing. Of course, you have the processes that will be adhered to and will be followed by the royal family, the British public, and these have been announced, I'm sure they've been preparing for this day for quite some years, so they'll just put these into motion. So now Prince Charles becomes King Charles III and his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, now becomes the Queen Consort and they will return to London on Friday to Buckingham Palace. This is what we've been told and he, as the new King, is expected to address the entire nation, the British nation today, Friday. I'm sure they've been getting ready for this moment for quite some time, but still the pain and the hurt will be there. They've become used, even more used to the presence of a Queen, the Queen, their mother, even as the entire world has become used to the presence of the Queen constantly being there. All right, now senior royals, we told at Canada at Balmoral where the Queen passed on after the Queen's doctors became concerned about her health rather early in the day. All the Queen's children travelled to Balmoral near Aberdeen, that's in Scotland, after doctors placed the Queen under medical supervision. Her grandson and now heir to the throne Prince William and his brother Prince Harry had also gathered theirs, good to see that he's back in the UK on royal duties. Now, how about Liz Strauss, the new Prime Minister? Now, she was appointed by the Queen just on Tuesday, you know, just on Tuesday and the picture is a match of the Queen on her feet, shaking hands with Liz Strauss, which is quite remarkable at such an ripe old age. Well, Liz Strauss said the monarch was a rock on which modern Britain was built who had provided us, it is her words, code provided us with stability and the strength that we needed. All right, and of course what is Prince Charles, what is she saying about King, the new King Charles? She said, quote, we offer him our loyalty and devotion, just as his mother devoted so much to so many for so long. Apart from her, the archbishop, the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who is quite known to Nigerians because he spent some time of his ministry in this country, he's a spiritual leader of the Church of England of which the monarch and his Supreme Governor express his profound sadness. He said that his prayers are with the King and the royal family. Of course, I mean, Queen Elizabeth Stena spent a long time in a post-war austerity, the transition from being an empire to the Commonwealth, of course a lot of nations lower the Union jack and then, you know, raise their old flags, this referring to their independence. And she saw that period and transition from, of most countries from being colonies of the British Empire to being independent countries. And that meant moving from an empire status to the Commonwealth. He also was around and saw the end of a Cold War, the UK's entry into the European Union and the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, what we now know as Brexit. She was Queen over 15 Prime Ministers and you see in that picture there where she welcomed Lee's trust just two days ago. She oversaw 15 Prime Ministers starting with Winston Churchill, believe it or not, who was born in 1874 and also including Miss Truss, who was born 101 years later than Winston Churchill was born in 1975. Quite, quite some time. She held weekly audiences with her Prime Ministers, Ministers throughout her reign, weekly audiences with her Prime Ministers throughout her reign. Now at Buckingham Palace in London we told crowds of waiting, updates on the Queen's condition began crying as they heard of her death. And of course the Union flag on top of the palace was lowered to half-master. 830 British Standard Time and an official notice announcing her death was posted outside. Yesterday we had football matches involving two British teams, Arsenal Football Club and Manchester United Football Club, both British football institutions and in the UEFA Europa League. For Arsenal it was during their match that the announcement was made that the Queen officially had passed at the ripe old age of 96 and at halftime before the beginning of the second half the Arsenal players and the players of the opposing team FC Zurich had to gather around the centre-circle for a brief moment of silence and I'm sure this will hold memories for the Swiss fans who were hosting Arsenal Football Club that it was on the day that their team played Arsenal that the Queen passed and they marked it, you know, officially the first official marking and moments of silence was held at that ground in Zurich. Alright, or somewhere in St. Gallen rather, in St. Gallen in Switzerland. Also Manchester United they had a brief moment of silence before they kicked off their game with Royal Sociedad in memory of the Queen. We expect that the football matches for the English Premier League and indeed the leagues in both England, Scotland and Wales and maybe even Ireland will be suspended over the weekend indeed including Northern Ireland will be suspended over the weekend as they mourn the Queen. The British public have been instructed to stay at home today to mourn the Queen and I'm sure this will last over the weekend. If we go into the history, the biography, the life in times of Queen Elizabeth it will take a long time but of course some people, you know, having also expressed in their congratulations for Prince Charles that he's finally also been able to ascend to the throne after waiting for quite some time because he of course was born in 1940 but some have said that, you know, those expressing those views are being insensitive to the death or the situation at this time where Prince Charles himself will be in mourning and grief. Prince Queen Elizabeth has had a very close relationship for those of us in Africa with the continent because she was in Africa as princess when the death of her father, the then alien king was announced and she was in Kenya in 1952 when her father the king passed and then of course she had to fly back to London to become the new queen, she wasn't the new queen crowned at the young age of 27, you know, in 1953 she was the first monarch to be crowned and her, you know, the crowning was horse being live on TV, that was the first time it ever happened in history before an estimated audience of 20 million people so she created history, you know, in her lifetime she'll be missed and we say right here on Plus TV Africa, may her soul rest in peace. Alright, moving on, more trending stories right here on the breakfast, Hush Poppy has been in the news a lot but not recently, we've not had a lot to talk about it's mostly being about Abba Kerry who is wanted by the United States government in relation to Hush Poppy's case but Hush Poppy is back and what we hear is that the United States government has granted his appeal and has reduced his sentence to 11 years this is quite some news, you know, this is quite some news he is an internet fraudster he is facing trial in United States of America Ramona Abbas is his official name but of course for those who are following him on Instagram he is probably known as Hush Poppy so his jail term has been reduced to 11 years now the reduction comes on the heels of his record which was revealed as part of his memorandum countering sentencing recommendations of prosecutors showed he cleaned well and related well with other inmates now he was claimed to be one of the best cleaners in the prison where he has been remanded since his arrest in 2021 who would have thought that being a good cleaner in the prison could get your sentence reduced I mean all of them there should be cleaning the hell out of that prison now it was gathered that his report card for Central Valley workshop for prisoners showed that between July 2021 when he enrolled in November 2021 he completed a work when he completed a work Hush Poppy put up very good in attitude quality of work and dependability and productivity so Hush Poppy had appealed to United States judge Otis Wright for tempering of justice with mercy and a lighter jail term after scoring high in the cleaning activities now the presiding judge is scheduled to hear the sentencing arguments of the prosecution and the defense of Hush Poppy on September 21 before delivering his judgment on the matter so this is not yet a foregone conclusion but prosecutors in United States have asked a federal judge the federal judge rather too would use the sentence to 11 years in prison and 3 years of supervised release I think this all goes to show that Hush Poppy is quite a clever man and he should not be under his cleverness and intelligence should not be underestimated amazing alright let's come back to Nigeria and of course the 2023 elections around the corner the political scene is heating up and the political scene in Lagos is not being left out as the Lagos State chapter of the Progressive Congress they have reacted to comments made by the gobernatorial candidate of the People's Democratic Party in Lagos State Olajide Adeliro and he's popularly called Jando now he made some statements regarding the recent cases of building collapse in Lagos State he had earlier this week called for the resignation of the Lagos State governor Babaji Ray Sam bolu over the spate of building collapses in the state since 2019 then this I didn't think we were going to hear anything from Jando after he got the PDP ticket and there's a relief I would say we are actually hearing something from him because there's democracy you need to hear from your position as well now this is what he said quote it is not enough that a government official is signed to the Ministry concerned the Commissioner of Fiscal Planning and Urban Development The government has failed the entire negotiations, not only the victims of this current incident and the over 100 people who died in about 47 cases of building collapse in 2019 to date in the state. The governor's failure to ensure due diligence on the governance process by engagement of competent personnel established to carry out, you know, established rather his culpability is expected that the governor himself should have resigned instead of the arranged scapegoating of asking his commissioner to quit. He's made many unfulfilled promises to prevent these disasters and the attendant avoidable death. So this is a statement coming from Janda, the PDP governorship candidate in Lagos State and of course the People's Democratic Party is a leading opposition party, not just in Nigeria but also in Lagos State. And you know some persons feel that most of those in the PDP in Lagos State are just fronting for the APC and the PDP in Lagos State is really virtually non-existent. And of course Jando was a key member of the People's, the all-progressives Congress with his Lagos for Lagos movement conversing and gathering lots of support for the APC in need for Somolu and President Buhari in the last election. And not a few eyebrows were raised when he moved to the PDP. Some people still feel that the PDP is just another arm of the APC in Lagos State and that's why the party has been seen as a toothless bulldog over the years in Lagos State. So maybe Jando's statement and his speaking up over the incessant or the recent rather building collapse in Lagos State may go away to dispel that view of some person, of some persons indeed. This is not something that Somolu would want to hear. Indeed Jando went on to say that the governor's failure to ensure due diligence on the governance process by engagement of competent personnel established his culpability. He also said it is expected, quote, it is expected that the governor himself should have resigned instead of the arranged scapegoating of his commissioner. He said his insensitivity and display of disregard for human lives by showing up at a social event in the far away United States to present an award while the blood of the victims was still worn is condemnable. Of course, this is referring to the governor's visit to Atlanta, Georgia in the United States of America to attend the Heady's Award. It's a musical award, the biggest music awards in Nigeria this time holding the United States where Somolu did not just attend but indeed tweeted about that event and put his pictures on social media, of course, Jando now saying that this is insensitive by the governor. The latest is that the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressive Congress responded. And it did this through the spokesman, Mrs. Shea Oladejo, who released a statement a couple of days ago describing the call made by Jando as, quote, childish. This is what he said, quote, the Lagos State government has not hesitated to investigate the cause of such incidents and wield the big stick where necessary. While there may still be a few bad eggs in the sector who continue to circumvent the system, we remain committed to its complete sanitation. He went on to say in the statement, quote, it is unacceptable devilish and uncivilized for the PDP to celebrate the incident and dance on the grave of the victims in the name of politics. He said, quote, the Lagos State government remains resolutely committed to the protection of lives and property of all Lagosians. Lagosians will continue to do our best, utmost, as a regulatory body for all manner of construction while we all as citizens have a duty to comply with all rules and regulations. So of course, this statement, you know, pushing the blame to the citizens and of course raising the issue of noncompliance to building regulations as the result or the cause rather of these are building collapses in Lagos State and did a lot of them have held and Jando was, he even went there to give a number, 47 cases of building collapse between 2019 to date. So what he said is the governor himself should resign, not commissioner for urban development and fiscal planning. But what the APC in Lagos City is saying is that most of this is as a result of nonadherence to building regulations by the citizens and this is not a governor's fault, you know. So the jury is out, of course, for those who believe that the governor could do better, for those who believe that, well, this is out of the hands of the governor of Lagos State if people choose not to comply or if those who are meant to regulate the building in Lagos State, you know, the building sector in Lagos State do not do their job well. I think, you know, for most people when they heard that the commissioner had resigned, that was a novel in Nigerian politics because you do not hear politicians or public office holders resigning, it's rare, it's rare. So for the commissioner to have done that, that was a bold one, it was not the usual. Now is this big enough or is this, well, it's actually big enough because people have lost their lives, but does it call for the governor himself to resign, to step down? This is where the debate is, you know, is this something that is enough for the governor to step down? That's where the debate is. Well, you're left to make your mind up as to what you believe, but I think for me personally, I think it's quite refreshing to hear the PDP in Lagos State speaking up and saying something at least for a change. All right, that's our top training segment. We'll take a break and when we come back, we'll dive straight into a new super analysis segment of the press. We call it right here on the breakfast. Please stay with us.


I feel like there's this moment in time right now where there's an insurgent voice about design thinking, leanness, adaptiveness, agility, responsiveness, and then there's legacy that is resistant to that for whatever reason. What is the conflict there? Why isn't this mode of thinking the dominant mode of thinking right now? What's holding us back? Efficiency. Efficiency. I mean, it is interesting. The New York Times was started a few years ago, Six Sigma is over, it's time for design thinking. I gave a speech at an innovation conference about the difference between Six Sigma and design thinking. Those are the two, I think, extreme of the past ten years of business. Six Sigma is all about reduction of any redundancy, any inefficiency, and then you have design thinking that by definition is inefficient because you insert risk and emotion and intuition is the key word inside the system that is fighting for efficiency. And this is really where the contrasts arrive. And then there is the risk implication, how much you are willing to risk. And the bigger is the risk, the more difficult it is to drive design thinking inside the organization. I've been talking to design schools a lot about that, like are you training people ready to be in the business world and handle the other side of what goes on? And that you can make a beautiful prototype and sketch, but can you sell it? Can you back it? Can you do a business model? Can you produce it? Well, and as a designer, sooner or later you're going to run into a business person. Sooner or later you're going to need financing, you're going to need legal, you're going to need all those things, and a designer commando school is not prepared for that. That's the biggest frustration that we've heard from young designers when we took over DWR four years ago, they'd say, you know, we can't get our product to market. We can sketch it. We can prototype it. And we would love to bring it in, but you look around here in order to add another table we have to take one out. And so we've said, you know, how can we work with them and help them to figure out how to commercialize their products just like you're talking about? And we're doing something that John and I came up with probably over a scotch, but is to partner a young designer with an established designer. And we said, well, who's the most established designer we work with? It's Jens Rism. He's 97 years old. And we're partnering Chris Hardy with him, who's a, you know, late 20s designer from Atlanta. And what they're doing together is going to be magic. I mean, it's just really incredible. And so Jens has the classic touch to the furniture, and Chris is bringing in wire management and what the technology aspects of a new desk might be like and melding those two together. And that's fun to see it, you know, come to be. When you actually face a situation where you need to sell how much design will impact, I'll show you a little thing I'm just facing, you know, all the water enhancers like Mio and the sun and everything. So if you look at the shelf right now, there's 80 like this or look the same rather than stuff. And our company wants to relate on that. So we want to issue quickly. And we created a beautiful, really different design that takes all the aspects completely differently, but it's going to take another year. Okay. So here's like, we have a little crisis, okay, which we need to sell how much design will differentiate and make an impact, okay, versus doing something, go to market on something existing like everybody else. And this is for me the moment of truth, you know, when you need to sell how much design really matters. You have to get away from that quarterly quarter to quarter rights. Quarter to quarter kills design. Quarter, not only design, most new product, it kills. Yeah, I mean, that mentality kills it. You can budget quarter to quarter, you can budget design, you can budget some failure, but the problem is designers, when they're trying to be different, I think as a disaster, you don't try to be different. You try to solve an issue. We find the designers are out there. Yeah, right, these designers, there's so much ego that they forget about the purpose of the job and they're designing for themselves and they may go to market because that's their dream and Julio Cappellini may pick them up and they're going to sell four pieces in their lifetime and end up on a bread line, whereas if they were to listen to somebody and take what they are and be the talent that they have and solve a problem and then work with someone to make it so that people could buy it, they actually have a business. So either design is great on its own, there's artists in the world that needs more artists. In terms of designing a product you're going to use, that's really, really hard and you can't aspire to be different, you have to aspire to be useful and to solve a problem. For us, we're very focused on creating a space for innovation and design to coexist. So whether it's makers markets or manufacturing space that's adaptable, we have MakerBot as a tenant with their manufacturing in Brooklyn and they're growing very rapidly. And when you talk to their marketing people, they'll talk about Holiday 14 as this critical moment for them in terms of their product meeting the market. But Holiday 13 has 10x what they thought it would do. And so I think as we look at real estate and look at the space and look at design, we look at creating this opportunity for innovation to exist and we plan quarter to quarter. And so we say how do we set aside a piece because we believe that design is at the center of making us more profitable. So in order to do that, we need to create a space for design and creativity to live freely while we are responsible to our investment plan. And so that's the key is you need a portfolio of initiatives. You can't just do out there ideas that may or may not. We need a real portfolio strategy around this stuff to drive big businesses.


Couple early thoughts I had during my watch of The Kingsman. One, I cannot believe this is directed by Matthew Vaughn. It doesn't look very good. It certainly doesn't have the same spice he was known for from the previous two Kingsman films.  I am not following the plot at all. Three, why? Just why was this movie made? Here's where I stand with this franchise. The first movie, love it. I think it's great.  They have style. They have substance. The visuals are insane. The second movie, Little Two Spy Kids for me, it's not bad. It's still very watchable, it's entertaining, but a step down from the first one. It goes a little too overboard with the antics. This film, hated, full-blown, did not like, had to stop it about an hour in and did not want to continue, but the review had to happen, damn it. So I pushed on. I was going to go on IMDb and look up the plot synopsis, but that would be disingenuous. I want to be honest here. I have no freaking idea what's happening in this film. It takes place in the 20th century. It's a prequel, so I was already very hesitant going in. Prequels typically are pretty bad. Um, and I don't know much more than that. It follows the Oxford family. It was very predictable. I called two things.  I'm waffling on spoilers, but I'm not going to. I won't spoil anything. I will just say this. There's a death early on that's incredibly predictable, called it right out of the gates. It's typically pretty easy to call a death of a character when they just get done giving some sage advice. It's like, okay, you're gone. You're dead. Next scene. And the other thing I called, I thought was also very predictable, the villain and who he was because they present this guy in the shadows the entire time. I don't know why it's not interesting. We don't see the face of the sinister guy behind the curtain, who's pulling all the strings and causing these brothers or cousins or relatives. I don't actually know what they were. They're the heads of different countries, and he makes them go to war against each other. He costs his chaos. But right away, I'm like, I know who that is. That's this dude. It's obviously this dude. And it was. Again, patting my own back aside, I didn't get anything out of that reveal. It wasn't entertaining. It wasn't like jaw dropping in the slightest. Our Cullen Firth isn't back. Our Eggsy isn't back. We don't even have a Channing Tatum here. We don't have a Che Tate to carry this thing. Instead, we have freaking Voldemort. Ralph Fiennes. Ralph Fiennes. He's doing it. He seems very uninterested for most of the movie. He's lacking the substance and the style and the coolness that Cullen Firth brought to the table. The new guy? Eggsy 2.0? So bland. He's so boring. He's just like a stock character. An AI built computer character they just dropped in. Like, I am New Kingsman. I am fighting. Action's another thing that Matthew Vaughn was known for. It's here. Some of it's cool. There's one fight in particular that's very engaging against Rasputin. But oh my god, the events leading up to that fight are atrocious.  I was uncomfortable and not in a good way. Not in like a mid-summer way. This was uncomfortable and like, what is Matthew Vaughn into in his free time?  I just don't recall checking that box on the Kingsman, but that's what I got. Now, I do appreciate Matthew Vaughn when it comes to the choreographed fights and some of the stylistic shots he brings to the table, but here is like the worst of it all. Some of the camera shots, some of the zoom-ins, they were just really campy, really hacky. And that's why I thought there's no way Matthew Vaughn directed this. This is the guy trying to do Matthew Vaughn. And no, it's him. It was him and I was shell shocked. That reveal was a lot more shocking than who the villain was. There's a cute British actress, kind of a Mary Poppins that kills. She doesn't really do much though. There's kind of this reg tag Kingsman crew that they bring up. They just don't have a lot to offer though. It's a shame.  The story is really at odds with itself, constantly pushing and pulling between is this a spy thriller? Is it a, is it a war film? Is it a movie about a father and son trying to reconnect? Who's the protagonist here? It's just a really tough film to watch. The badass score is gone. The cool villains, they tried, but they're not cool. They're creepy and weird and most of them are throwaway. The gadgets? Eh, not really. No, not really. At first I thought, you know what, Disney's being kind of douchey. They own Fox now and this is one of the films they rebranded under their new 20th century label. They're just shitting this out unceremoniously into theaters for a week or two and then they're going to pretend like it didn't happen. I get now why they did. There's nothing to promote here. This isn't a fun movie. It's not a pleasant one to watch. It's just miserable. It's a shame. Who wanted a prequel? What's even more perplexing? Is the entire building of the Kingsman doesn't happen until like the last two minutes of the film. They're like, hey, we're the Kingsmen now. Movie's over. I thought maybe it was going to be more like Matthew Vaughn's other movie, X-Men First Class, where we see Erik and Charles start to build up the school for the gifted mutants and decide which way they should take it. Anyway, I'm only reviewing this now because it showed up on HBO Max and my feed and I thought, okay, well, it's here. I'm paying for the service. Now I might as well see what this movie's all about. And I honestly went in assuming it was going to be at least a somewhat enjoyable film. No, it was just bad. Let me know what you thought, though, about the Kingsmen.

investigation released this morning find that their journalist Issam Abdallah was... It is an ongoing concern of the European Union for the safety of journalists and so that the journalists can exercise their professional duty in safety of course without being endangered. So every time a journalist or media worker is killed, injured or prevented to work, this is a source of concern for the European Union and we speak out against this regularly and we of course demand the respective authorities who are involved or in charge or oversee the situation to provide explanations and to investigate the issues. We don't have any feedback on this particular case from the relevant authorities, we understand the internal investigation is also ongoing but what is important for us is the principle to speak up for the rights of the journalists, to advocate for the protection of the journalists and to make sure to everyone that journalists must be free and safe to exercise their professional duties, especially in the situations of conflict where it is crucial for the world public to get information from the ground about what is going on.


And also, suspected internet fraud star Adedu Mola Badegesi is being extradited to the U.S. by the federal government over $148,000 fraud. Adedu Mola Badegesi is wanted in the U.S. on a case of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. The spokesman for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Wilson Iwujaren, disclosed in a statement on Wednesday. He explained that the suspect was arrested in Nigeria on September 2, 2021 for allegedly defrauding an American lady living in Kentucky. Iwujaren said the U.S. would persecute the suspect for offenses allegedly contravening Title 18 U.S. Code Section 1349 and 1956 on two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. According to the EFCC, these follow the February 11, 2022 order by Justice Daniel Osiago of the Federal High Court Lagos.


Just like there you go It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it wasn't me What a pretty smiley-tazd Anyway, hello and welcome back to another episode of conker dog That's right.  What's up? Oh, we're playing on a server that has passive growth. Oh look at my eyes I'm adorable. Oh, it's turning day the Sun's coming up. Oh, that's good So I've never played the concavenator before Find location young Grove Well hot damn that was quick Wasn't it now we go?   So basically I feel as though the concavenator and Seratosaurus are in a similar niche or like the same sort of tier they're like mid-tier and I assume Seratosaurus is it's bulkier and it deals more damage whereas concavenator or a conch Oh Yep, there we go. Okay, we've lost them. We've lost them. You can't keep up with me now. I'm pretty sure I'm a little bit faster It just needs to get one bite off. Oh, no, there it is. Oh, wait, yo, we didn't really get it Oh, we actually went for it though. Good on him Yeah You know what if I pick the plus speed and no, I'm pretty sure I'm plus defense I looked at it usually the feathers are like speed, but no this one if I am plus defense And I I'd chosen the plus speed one. I think I wouldn't have even had to worry about that Megalania But ha ha starting out strong Thing is though I think this is one that doesn't have rules So I feel like mixpacking is gonna be a thing on this server Yeah, it'll also be the first time that I've witnessed mixpacking Cuz I've never played on a server that's had it like no you cannot do this car this place has changed completely. I Kind of liked it though. I like young grove, but uh, yeah, this one's gonna take some getting used to it's still good Oh, there's the thalass Or is it a thalass? Yep, that's a thalass. Okay. Good. Good. Good. I was a bit worried it might have been a quetsu, but it's not Alright.   All right, you know what we should definitely do sleep out in the open. That's always a good idea Front limb so we get caught at the causes bleed increase turn or increase swim speed I I feel like we should just go for the bleedy bleeds Make that right click. Yes, and then I think we probably need to be next stage before we unlock something else Yes Do you have any any cool emotes? I have a stretchy one. That's fine. Well, a lot of things have that one That's a bit boring. Well, so we got shaky ad friend and that's it. No Let's go around the back of this place. I don't want to run into the mega lane here anytime soon Serata swords with its broken jump mechanic is beautiful, but I don't know this guy this guy could be good, too I'm more of a speedy attack quick and get out That that seems to be my kind of play style anyway, so I don't kind of has that but it's got the bulk I feel like this guy does not have the bulk That's fine. Oh, there we go. I don't listen. Okay.   Yeah The biggest favorite color is purple. I think it might be purple. How many coins do I have? I have 3000 oh My god, that's like that Balti rex from Lost World. Oh Oh whale shark. Oh, that's really cool. Oh That was nice, too. Oh got some beauty That's it. That's the one I want. I want that one. Ha ha. Yes Back limb because what become able to dive underwater increase oxygen by a hundred fifty percent Increase what is with me? Just being a swimmer. Everything's like swim swim swim Tail attack to cause knock knock back increase swim speed and turn speed by 10% feel like I want that one Yeah, go on. You know what?  I'm just gonna run around attack things I can increase my swim speed and turn a race by 10% increase bleed resistance by 40 or increase speed by 10% decrease Turn speed by 40% decrease. Oh, it's gotta be a scabbing blood Yeah, increase bleed resistance and I may as well have this I suppose this is 1600 I don't think I have enough of that. Oh, I do. Okay. That must be the megalania I didn't realize that conks were so adapted for swimming now. I'll know not to go in the water Oh damn, I am gaining so much growth. This is beautiful Hell baby. Is that you? Are you making those noises? What?  We stop screaming You know, I could swim actually in water. I can also dive So no That was I mean there you go.  Is that it? Oh, I was not expecting him to go for me You know what even with no rules on the server, he's still I think three cold So I want to stay around water. That's what I want to do. Preferably not the ocean some sort of water source Alright, that's the pine cones completed What will be next lake weed? Oh, there's only one place that gives you lake weed here I'm gonna have to go over there. I think I might do because I could probably fill up on some water, too But I guess I think we still Focus on player. I guess that'll happen. Yeah, we need to go up here to the right So I'll quickly grab this died alpha dawn and then we'll head over there.  I could backtrack and kill the triceratops He won't have gotten far though.  Why is it darker in the water and looking in from above? That's weird. I haven't been playing for half an hour and already. I'm almost in sub adult Come just get you to over with just don't I don't run towards the water Yes, and I do have to hunt a herbivore. Is there anything over here at all? No Well, let me just collect the lake weed and then hopefully I get deathcap or milk cap mushrooms Oh, there we go, and it is sweet nice and thin and agile to get through that because we found the motherload, baby And there it is Shellfish and turtle shells I've lived a hard life on my server that I dedicated all my dinosaurs to and All these other servers. Just have you level up super quick. It's so nice Oh, is that like the the thin bit of flesh that goes in front of the eye. Oh it is. Oh Oh, it's exactly the same Just be on the lookout for herbivores. I think I can drop like I did as a serrano and just fall from there No, my skin's not so bad actually the regular one because you could call us living life on the edge Brown one could be cool, but I like the green It's so weird because the footsteps sound like they're so close, but they're actually just down there There you go see Triceratops helping out the Ankylosols the Ankylosols bone breaking in, but it's just a complete mess Hey, I'm becoming adult Freaking what's with me getting the worst missions on this normally I think I'm safe just drink taking a drink there But like the Triceratops could go for me or the Ankylosol could go for me So it's it's it's a it's a bit odd Oh god No, oh, yeah, yeah you uh-huh you'll do a little threat I suppose very big on you the lawyer You've got like a soccer on your side. You can try and catch up with me.  Spino, I Look, I'm just gonna talk to you dude.  I'm pretty sure I don't know what the hell's like and attacks like on this server But there's no way I'm killing him. Oh god. It's more Triceratops. Oh, and they've got a lambio following them as well There's a patchy probably go for him But he's too fast Just too fast I can't get him. Hello Come here you there we go Come here. No one Come here. I want you Where is he come on come on just I'm a bit worried about the other herbivores I'll be honest There we go another bleed on There we go, just let him run in front. Oh Look at him jump You best be worried son Just keep he's got a tighter turning circle and he's probably got more health So I need to just try and clip him. I don't want to take the head Yeah, I don't want to take that that's Like the opposite of what I want to do So now I just want to bleed him just want to run run him. All right, is he gonna try and run away?  Oh, that's interesting Look at him. Oh, he's trying it.  He probably is isn't he?  I think oh god My damages though. Oh Okay, there we go. Oh god and again. Oh didn't get him there. Okay, okay Yeah, I got him that time Oh god, he's getting my tail He's getting good hits off There we go. Just keep him bleeding keep him bleeding keep him running If he does charge which he might do There we go. And there it is. Okay, he doesn't go to bleed on anymore Didn't get him didn't get him. Oh god Oh When you had my tail attack But instead I don't have it. Oh god. He's gonna get me I'm not even about to have the tail not by definitely collect flowers. What kind of missions that you know where I am. Oh Welcome to service without rules Oh My oh I want to join in is this right Sarah tops keeping people in order There we go, there we go. We're in line and then and then back We're back. There we go. Beautiful beautiful back this way. They're back this way. Oh, we do jumps Are we doing the Mexican wave? What what's going on here? Wait? Oh? Did you just step on his mouth? I can sort of see now why there are rules All right, all I need to do is just be friendly enough with these guys To get to an adult that's all I need to do I guess they're not mix packing when they are but they're not like attacking something all grouping together and attacking something Okay, we just need to wait for chaos. That's all we need to do. Oh Wow, look at him go that's surely not something like Sarcos can normally do is it because that if they can that is nuts. Oh God, oh god, it's going crazy Yeah, yeah, the inevitable mix packing. Oh They don't like that triceratops Do I dare do I even dare go in in the mix of that? Oh god. Oh Hello. Oh My god, they did Wow Just like that. Oh spinos now attacking each other Okay. Oh even the patches have got scavenger on to eat. That's interesting Wow Wow They are we are destroying this body some 15% and it's just pink. Oh, it's gone. It's gone. Oh That's spinos almost gone. Oh God I'd even get to see that one die. You think it's a fellow. I thought I'd get a little slush on wait Is there something else dead to you is that no, that's no. Yeah, there's a dead Draco Oh Everything's dying How many coins do I have actually? Yeah, because I want to be able to like attack run away and then switch skins and come back So they don't think it's the same guy, right? Okay next to oh the megalania. Ah that megalania would have been brilliant The alo is almost gone get him Get him No, the war starts On the soccer really badly damaged itself Oh, there they go. The alosers are still running away. That's the regosaurus. Yeah, he's definitely dead. We could kill him easy, right? They just loads of bites on that croc. No one no one's going to contest me The only thing that's going to contest me is this spino who unfortunately just got up. That's a bugger I knew he was going to do that I was hoping I could get in some bites, but then he got up. He must have seen me looking Little mind reader that guy.  No Oh, is this your way of saying sorry for biting me? Yes, there we go. We've got to play weak and helpless I think he was saying sorry for maybe me attacking that crocodile, which I definitely was going to do He's got to do it again, isn't it? It's going to give me more There you go. That's my thank you. I don't really know what that does. Do we go for the croc now?  It wasn't me. It wasn't me And now I can like rejoin in five minutes and they'll think I'm a completely different So he was there the whole time Because as soon as I started attacking him Yeah, he got up, but it was too late too late.   Oh, he's gone. They they completely decimated that crocodile Hey, buddy Oh That's the crocodile from before, isn't it?  I need to get him killed. That's what I need to do All right, I'll wait till he rests or something. Oh, I could just show that he's aggressive actually if he bites me While I'm here. There we go. I'll be friendly with these guys And then if he attacks me, they'll all attack him. Yeah, let's check our heads.  I thought the aliramos would be friendly to me actually go on metric You can see him being a bully Oh, that's weird Why the mega lane you would now go for me Oh, there we go. Here we go Down again Okay, we just need to keep doing this over and over Put that mega lana now to stop.  There we go. He's got to keep running Oh, that was close though Here's another one. Oh the other mags going for me as well. That is really interesting. They've both just decided Oh god, are you on the cock?  Why though? That's so weird I thought if I just stayed with them and showed that that guy was super aggressive That they would actually go for him, but for some reason they didn't they were like, no, we're just going to go for weakness So yeah, that seems to be what they preferred to to players was ah, he's weak. Let's go get him As is the nature of uh Of mix packing, I suppose is whoever shows weakness They all gang up on with that venom drain I was done. There was nothing I could do and I got around the megalania and the alley ramus But I just couldn't get away from the other two and the concavenator Ah decreasing armor is no good But then again 10% speed increase. You know what for what I'm doing That might be the the best option is just extra speed a little bit less defense But I think with 10% speed I could probably outrun that megalania now. Okay. Here we are in crater How many kills can I get here? All right then boys going on in here Anadons, of course. Yep doing the usual T-rexie lying down in the middle healing which is interesting. I got my my swim speed Are you wanting lake weed? Mr. Giraffe Ow. Ah, dammit hit me right in the face. Oh, the alo's gonna get him. I don't think I'm meant to get out speed in that one Maybe it can't Oh, okay. Oh, he's got knockback Oh, the kinders like I want it. I want it. I want it. I want it Oh, no, never mind the kinders growing up to him. I'll go get him alo I want more kills I got like I'm way quicker. I can easy catch up to him Come on, gotta beat him. Gotta beat him. Gotta beat him. Don't run out of stand before I get to you I'll get him. I'll get him. He's mine I want him.  I'm 10% quicker. Yes. Oh, don't you do knockback I'm just bite your tail just a little bit. Oh, yeah Whoa, what is that? Yeah, I have no idea what magic mushroom tail is Oh, what the hell? Wait, what? Oh, he disconnected.  Yeah I only know that because that's happened to Whitney before ow Why'd you hurt me? That's not fair. I'm supposed to hurt you. Yes one nil. Okay. Let's see if we can get any more kills Right, we've got to try seratops there that's resting and I think it's been attacked by something Should be able to let's see Okay Bite bite bite bite bite bite bite bite.  Oh god run. Oh god run the stinger I was close. Okay. I was close. Ah dammit somebody killed him. Okay, so so far one kill one assist Okay, that patch he's looking at that t-rex. Yep. Yep. He doesn't see me He's not looking at me and I'm gonna just quickly just get in for the kill here Yeah, there we go Let me just take the trophy Thank you There we go Oh, thank you for knocking me away All I need to do Is just like just keep it doing a tail attack and they're gonna knock me forwards, which means that they're gonna run out of stamina first I helped you t-rex I helped you I need to go somewhere where I can lose them. I guess a good dive into the water Yeah, we'll go for the lake over here Whoo. Thank you Oh another kill Another kill. Oh almost almost Almost almost come to the kill Just didn't get to the river just didn't get to the river just keep knocking us I win Oh, it's glorious Oh, that was good. Oh buzz bald is trying it cheeky buzz bald. Yeah. He tried to go for us. I knew that's what he was doing Ah survived I'll just let me recover I just heard a patchy Like log in and charge off. So I'm assuming that was one of these guys that was here.  I don't like you.  We'll just see how this one goes. I feel like oh a bone break from the anki The anki is taking on the freaking duck Oh, I can't say I can't even just have a fair match. Oh the duck look at it. Bless it It's trying to get in the water even if it gets in the water though I wonder how close to death it is. Do you think it's really close? Do you think I could give it a shot and kill it?   Go for the white one.   All right already one kill looking good looking good Oh, did the croc go back in the water? I think he did I was even fully grown and he looked like he was on full health or something Right, so now I just need to wait until the spinosaurus drops its guard And goes to sleep because it will it'll want to change skin Or something. I mean there's a chance that they you know What?  He's giving away my plans. Oh, well here it is Here's my plan Here we go. Come on. Let's get him We're getting tank times three on him here. Let's try my best though Almost almost almost. Is he dead? Oh, he's not dead. He's not dead. He's so close. Damn it I got him from like full health down to that almost that So close Yo, the patches gave away my plan. Oh the saga is going to steal my kill. Is it? Oh Damn it.  I don't know.   Yep. He's asleep. Yep. Here we go. Here we go. T-Rex dead. T-Rex dead. T-Rex dead You're welcome Is he nowhere I am No, I just no idea. He just yelled in that direction. He doesn't know where I am at all It's like, ah you over that direction I'll kill you Okay, those spinos must be worried now.  Oh, I picked up a meat chunk Of course because it's not an adult right now just to keep an eye if this spinal lies down or sleeps or something I'll go for him It looks like he might like he's he's he's going away to sleep Oh, there is there's his tail. There's his tail. All right.  So actually maybe he won't rest I'm still not used to where this is where this map goes Right. He's down in that crevasse somewhere Can hear his little stompy stumps. He might have heard me there He might have seen me and he's turned around So if I can just Do this little Ah That didn't feel like 60 seconds. Oh, it's only 30 seconds for a safe log Oh, that's why but I guess you can set it to whatever you want So if you wanted to you could set it to zero seconds you just log out instantly The middle of a battle gone and now well the spinos are gone. There are some sarcos So We'll see we'll see Geez I can hear that guy from a freaking mile away Right. There's another over there Am I right? Oh No, it's a t-rex an adult t-rex who's coming in hot What will he do? Yeah, he can't see me like that's what he saw nothing.  Oh no the poor aloe. This is what happens You show a little bit of weakness. You're gone. Oh god looks at the t-rexes. Oh god everything's Everything's not happy here Spinal happy with the crocs Aloe definitely dead crocodiles. Don't bring this any further this way please Oh dear.  Oh, he broke the spinal So much death. Oh, who do I get to pick though?  Why would you sleep next to the water?  Oh, he's definitely active. Damn I was hoping I could get in And slowly swim up to him. I must be a new player. He didn't even see me though. There we go Oh, I hit a tree because of my tight turning circle Oh, and then a log Oh, bless him. Oh, he doesn't know about freaking. What's it called? Oh, no, should I just leave him?     Did you see your friend die? No, we're gonna have to do this again. Are we Oh god, yeah, we're doing this again. Are they gonna chase me all the way to the water? I feel like they might Have one guy is oh, that's hilarious. Oh, this is great.  There we go No, you're dead. You're dead. I don't know why you did this dude. You're dead There's another one came on as well. Oh god, that's not the same suko. Is it? Oh, that's brilliant. Yes Get him get him Brilliant.  Well, there you go.    Sorry the amargasaur Come on It's like the most useless dinosaur here What you doing argent? Why are you going to the water?   That's amazing. Wait, is he sleeping? There we go.

Have a lie down guys. You lost a team member You know you want to We're gonna have a well earned rest that guy's logging 100% this guy's logging He's logging I thought so Yeah, well, you know logging is just as good as resting. I think he just locked out Come on before the 30 seconds is up. Come on. Come on. Come on Guys that's gonna have to wrap up the video Oh, wow as a concavenator Actually loads of fun or maybe it's this server when there's no rules like that I really enjoy my time with it. Um, it was my first time with a mixed sort of server with no rules And I see why there are rules now like the majority of the kills I've gotten have just been round mix packers And that's pretty much where everybody is they're just all together So anyway guys if you enjoyed this video leave a like and until next time. I'll see you guys later. Oh, bye-bye

Plus also we do that have the same approach as we do to the toy giveaway. Sometimes it's nice to be able to surprise a child with an Easter basket or surprise a child with a toy. Grace Community Kitchen serves over 600 meals weekly and offers food boxes, haircuts, and other services for the community. The main reason that we decided last year to give out Easter baskets is because I feel like in a lot of ways Easter tends to be maybe overlooked or minimized in comparison to Christmas. It seemed like that's the big push in our community. We see all kinds of giveaways and toy drives and we want to participate in that too, but we don't want to neglect Easter because it's a very significant time of the year and we just feel like it's important to honor that and remember what it's about and do something for the children and so that's why our focus is on Easter.

I'm Bob Ward, I'm the Policy and Communications Director at the Gruntham Research Institute on Climate Change and Environment at London School of Economics and Political Science. Tell us a story about how you first became interested in Exxon and then how that story unfolded. In 2005 climate change moved up the political agenda in the UK, when the UK as hosts of the G7 summit decided to make climate change one of the major issues and at that time the Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK government, David King, was very active in talking not just in the UK but around the world, including in the United States, about the about the risks of climate change and when he was in the US he was being pursued by some campaign organizations who are ideologically opposed to action on climate change, very aggressive tactics and he pointed out that some of these organizations are funded by ExxonMobil. Now I was working at the Royal Society at that time, the UK National Academy of Sciences and I was preparing a memo about the way in which campaign groups on both sides were misrepresenting science for their own purposes, for their own agenda and I pointed out that some green NGOs had been exaggerating the immanence of some impacts and on the other side there were groups funded by ExxonMobil that had been denying the science, misrepresenting the scientific evidence for the risks. That memo I eventually shared with the newspaper and after it was published I was contacted by both Greenpeace who I had cited as an NGO that had misrepresented the evidence and ExxonMobil and the way in which those two organizations responded was very telling. Greenpeace asked me where they had misrepresented the science and I gave them the examples and they went away and they corrected it. ExxonMobil on the other hand said they were misunderstood and they wanted to come and see me and explain why they were misunderstood. So I met with a couple of their representatives early in 2006 and they told me that they were no longer planning to fund these campaign organizations and that they have not need to misrepresent the science in their publications which tended to overstress the uncertainties in our knowledge and underplay the risks of climate change and I said that fine but later on in 2006 I saw that they had produced a new publication which had made exactly the same claims and misrepresented the science, had played up the uncertainties and downplayed the risks and so I wrote to them and complained that they had not taken any notice of the conversation we had had and I asked them about progress in reducing their funding or removing their funding for these campaign grounds. I didn't get an answer from them and at that stage I was moving on to a new job working for a company that builds risk models for the computer industry. The letter I wrote to ExxonMobil I shared with a newspaper which they made public and at that point ExxonMobil decided to respond. They responded by complaining about my behavior and one of their representatives contacted prominent MP Chris Hume who was a spokesperson for the Liberal Democrats at that time to try and imply that my departure from the Royal Society was in some way the result of having written about ExxonMobil and it was completely untrue. So Chris Hume contacted me and I didn't know him he contacted me while I was on holiday visiting my parents and asked me whether this was true and I told them it was not true. He went into Parliament the next day and during the speech we counted this series of events that ExxonMobil had been trying to imply that somehow I'd been sacked for blowing the whistle on them and it was untrue. And to me it's just a sign of the desperate attempts ExxonMobil have been making over the years to deny the science of climate change and in a way that is very surprising for a company that relies very much on science for its business. I'm a geologist by training. Many of my colleagues who I did my degree with have gone on to work in the oil industry and many of them are honestly doing a job that they believe in. ExxonMobil were engaged in a degree of subterfuge of misrepresenting the science and have been involved in a number of very very unpleasant activities including in the early days of the presidency of George W. Bush a memo was sent by one of their representatives Randy Randall their chief lobbyist in Washington DC and I wrote to the president's council environmental quality demanding that the United States try to remove the then current chairman of the intergovernmental panel on climate change Bob Watson and they wanted him removed because they considered him to be too vocal in talking about the risks of climate change and that's a completely unacceptable behavior and lo and behold later on a few within a few months of that memo haven't been been sent the United States failed to back Bob Watson's candidacy to remain as chairman and he and he left and that's an example of an oil company being involved in a degree of subterfuge that I think most reasonable people will regard as completely unreasonable. Since your call to reduce or to have excellent stop funding climate science denial organizations have they continued to fund denial? They started to reduce funding for these lobby groups in late 2005 when they saw a shift in the US Congress with more Democrats getting the Congress and they recognized that at that time as there is now there was a clear division between the Democrats that accepted the science and the Republican Party many of whom did not accept the science and they recognized that they were going to face political difficulties and they have reduced but they have continued funding for some organizations that continue to deny the risk of climate change organizations like the Heritage Foundation and I would have said that that's simply bad business to be funding an organization that is in denial of science and this is science remember that we've now built up over a couple a hundred years it's been a couple a hundred years really since we first had the observations of the earth is warmer than otherwise would be by Joseph Fourier and he observed that it was likely to be the atmosphere around the earth that is responsible for keeping it essentially 33 degrees warmer than otherwise would be. It was 150 years ago that John Tindall did experiments in the lab to show the carbon dioxide, water vapor and other gases, our greenhouse gases and are responsible for trapping the heat and it was a hundred years ago that Arrhenius did the first calculations of how the earth would warm if you burned a lot of the coal and released carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is well established science that we've known for 200 years has withstood tests for 200 years and for anybody to be denying that is simply in my view engaging in flat earth politics.


Good morning. So first, I'd like to mention our support for this from the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation grant from Delta Dental of Wisconsin, the CTSA from University of Wisconsin and Marshfield Clinic called ICTER, and NHGRI, especially Ian Marpore, who helped us organize a budding consortium to study the oral microbiome and its relationship to systemic health. So our goal is to establish an oral systemic health cohort that across multiple institutions. And in doing so, we wanted to standardize enrollment of patients with electronic health records, electronic dental records, and a set of standard clinical tests, standard microbiome characterization and also have genomic DNA, plasma, and serum. And this is to advance translational medicine and dental care as well. So among the participants in this group, they're listed here and many of these contributed to the standards that we have for enrolling these cohorts. So spoiler alert here that the mouth is part of the body and the microbiome needs to be factored in for risk assessment of some of the most common and costly diseases. And therefore, the microbiome has to be part of personalized medicine. And in order to facilitate this, we would like to gather a set of patients with standardized recruitment and sample collection, et cetera, to advance this field. So where we are at this point is we've been talking about genetics, not so much about the environment, trying to understand better complex diseases here. But one of the large environmental factors is the microbiome, and in particular, the oral microbiome. And that is also influenced by our diet and other environmental factors. But the genetics and the environment, then, of course, contribute to complex diseases, and in particular, to type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and coronary artery disease. So better understanding of this relationship will lead to enhanced predictive medicine and also can address health disparities. Because if we think that medical care, there are disparities in medical care, there are even more significant disparities in dental care. So the NIH, of course, has been fundamental in promoting research in the human microbiome at various sites. And there are also a number of research opportunities and RFA is out on microbiome. If we consider the oral microbiome and look at sort of a healthy tooth here and periodontitis over here, there are very large differences in the bacteria that are in the periodontal space in these two situations. In this case, the deeper pockets, you have anaerobic bacteria, and you have different species, some of which have been shown to contribute to systemic disease. And there's been many advances in understanding the species range of the oral microbiome and other omics that have to do with the microbiome. So in our cohort here, in our group of interested institutions, we've had some progress. We've had a series of conference calls to plan this initiative. We're organizing then this oral systemic health consortium with these standardized recruitment criteria. We've completed a phase one pilot project at Marshfield, and we've standardized all of these things here. In the pilot project, we've enrolled 41 patients so far. We've published a manuscript outlining the project. We have planned enrollment of an additional 2,000 subjects at the Marshfield Clinic. And Inga Peter at Mount Sinai is about to enroll the first of 400 subjects, and again, all coordinated to be standardized so that we can combine any data that comes out of this. And that includes long-term electronic medical records, electronic dental records, host DNA, oral microbiome DNA, and other omics from the oral microbiome, plasma and serum samples, and a series of standardized clinical tests at enrollment. We've, together with all of our colleagues, we've come up with inclusion-exclusion criteria, case definitions, and all of these other details shown here. And this is the review that we've published. And at the Marshfield Clinic, although the clinic has, for 90 years, been focused on the medical health of the population of Wisconsin, we noticed that there were large numbers of our patients that were not receiving dental care. So over the past few years, we've opened up a series of dental clinics for this underserved population. And we have a total of eight right now with a ninth clinic at Black River Falls on the Ho Chiang Indian Reservation. And this is the population that we serve. Of the 41 individuals in the pilot project, we've measured things like cholesterol, fasting, blood glucose, microalbumin, blood pressure, HSCRP, hemoglobin A1C, et cetera. And of the 41 individuals, 35 of them had an aberrant value for one of these tests. And in fact, at least one individual had five aberrant values here. So if we look at the age and type 2 diabetes distribution just of these pilot subjects, these are individuals who have already been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. But if we look at fasting glucose and type 2 diabetes in this population, we see in orange here are the diabetics, some of which are controlled and some of which are not controlled very well. But we see there are significant numbers of these individuals that have a higher than normal level fasting glucose. If we look at hemoglobin A1C distribution, we also see some individuals here who are on their way to type 2 diabetes. And we also have a large number of these folks that have higher than normal of the high sensitivity C-reactive protein, indicating that there's some inflammatory process going on. So I think what this shows us is that, and this is actually a population that receives relatively good medical care at this time. And these individuals were recruited from the dental clinic at Marshfield and at Chippewa Falls. But in some of the more remote clinics, in particular at Black River Falls, there are some individuals who have never seen a dentist in their whole life. So we think that this will greatly, by providing dental care, it'll greatly improve the lives of these individuals. But also it provides a great opportunity for research in terms of better understanding controlling the microbiome in these individuals could lead to better health. And in addition, again, these very expensive and complex human disorders for which we have some genetic predictors, I think we should be able to enhance that predictability by understanding better the microbiome. So I just wanted to acknowledge the whole team at Marshfield and also my collaborators in this burgeoning network. So thank you. I'll stop here. Thank you, Murray. Any questions for Murray about the project? And perfectly clear. And I'm sure that if any of you are interested in exploring in more detail, you can contact Murray. And I'm sure that as with all of the work groups here, we're always interested in attracting other people that might be interested in participating. So but we are gratified to see that two of our members have actually gotten to the point of enrolling patients in a specific project and have a paper. And I think that's a great outcome. So thank you, Murray. Next, we'll have Karasang present an update on the cancer working group.


So, our normal website has a PHP page to redirect us. Some websites will do that. Instead of having a direct link to an external website, they'll have a special page which says something like, you are now being redirected to an external website. We have no responsibility for this information. So you may see that on some websites. So they implement a redirect page. And I'll visit that directory, that page directly, on our normal website, it's called redirect.php, and it takes a parameter URL. And the URL, it can be set to whatever we like. And in this attack, let's say that there's a link such as this that we've clicked on and it redirects us to something like this. The point of this redirect attack is that the page that we're visiting, what's the domain of the website we're visiting? In this URL, what's the domain of the website? Myuni.edu, our real website. But, and many security features of browsers will check that the domain you're visiting is the expected one. And even the human user may check and notice, okay, I'm visiting myuni.edu. I trust that. It's my university website. So I trust any page that I go to on that website. So I visit that link and, all right, it's coming. I'm waiting for my website. Did I do something wrong? What did I do wrong? URL, URL. Glad someone's watching. I forgot an edu. Try it again. I'm visiting myuni.edu and it asked me to log in. I trust this website is the normal log in. So I type in my, actually I'm a faculty member. I'll type in and log in as the, log in as the faculty member. And I press log in. Okay, I'm waiting, fine. Oh, what happened? Maybe I typed my password wrong. So I'll log in again. Okay, I'll log in again. Yes, accept cookies. It's a bit slow. Okay, now I'm logged into Steve and I can view the grades of everyone. So I'm logged in as a faculty member. What happened there? What happened and I'll exit? I'm currently logged into the real myuni website. I'll exit, look at the URL closely. And I think people have noticed, because I made a mistake there, this redirect page actually redirects me to this other website. And it's a different one. And there's two things happening here. The redirect, first thing that the user may not notice that part. If you have a very long URL in your address bar or on a link, usually you just look at the domain. You don't take much notice of the rest of that URL, especially if it's very long and has strange characters. So the user sees, okay, I'm going to www.myuni.edu, the rest, whatever, it's just a URL. But in fact, the redirect takes us to a different website. It takes us to the malicious user's website, which has a fake login page. So when we visit that, what happens is it takes us to the malicious user's website and this looks like the login for Myuni, but it's actually the fake login. And what I do is when I type in my password, username and password, this fake login page, when I press login, the web server on that fake server we'll see in a moment, just records the username and password and then redirects me back to the original login page. So from the user's perspective, what I think is happening here, I typed in my username and password, I press login and I, maybe I typed in my password wrong. Sometimes I type it wrong, so because it's sending me back to the original login. But what actually happened is I, even if I type the password correct, the fake web server recorded the password and just redirected me back to the original login. So now I can log in as normal and I think everything's okay. So from the user's perspective, they don't know anything's gone wrong. They are logged in and they can view grades. But now let's look at our fake web server, which is node five. Node five was the fake web server. If we go and look in some of the code, there's this aids directory and there's the login.php, the fake login page. All it does is when someone posts some information, the username and password, this code takes the username and the password and writes them to a file, stolenlogins.txt. And then it redirects you to the original login. So the fake login page looks like a normal login page, but all it does is takes the username and password, records them and then sends you back to the real login page so that you think nothing's gone wrong. So if you look in this file, temp slash stolenlogins, it's just a text file. And every time someone logs into this fake website, they don't actually log in, it just adds the username and password to this file. So now the fake web server, the malicious user has recorded my password for the real MyUNI website. So this is taking advantage of that redirect feature that is sometimes available. So now the malicious user knows my password. There are two entries there because I tried that twice. And every time someone else tries to do it, there'll be another entry added there. So this can be set up so that when all the users try and log in, they redirect it to the fake website, it records their password and later they can use that to log into the real website. Any questions on how that one worked? Let's look at the website, the risk number 10 it's listed as, unvalidated redirects and forwards. This is what was happening. The normal website had a feature to redirect you to other URLs. The malicious user used that to construct a URL or a link that redirects us to the malicious website with the intent of tricking the user into thinking they're visiting the real website but they're actually redirected to the malicious website. And that can be used to, in this case, to steal logins and it can be used for other types of attacks as well. It could be used simply to get ad impressions. That is, you're redirected to another website and that causes that other website to get money from people visiting it or it causes, maybe, when you visit that other malicious website, it triggers your browser to download some malicious software and infects your computer. So the problem here is that redirect didn't check that you're going to an appropriate website, it's unvalidated. So when you have such a redirect feature, you should ensure that the values which are supplied are valid and they're authorized for the user. There are different ways to do that but today we're just showing how it works, where do we get to? The other thing that's used here is that the fake website has a URL which is very similar to the real website. All right, I just created it so it looks like it's www.myuny.edu. Well, no, not quite. There's a .gr here. So maybe if you don't notice and you're, even without a redirect, you're sent to this URL, then you may not notice that it is, in fact, not your university website, it's another one because the URL is very similar to the one you expect and that's another form of attack of tricking the user into visiting websites which they think are appropriate but are not.


SCP-447-1 is a green sphere, approximately 5 cm in diameter, with a spongy surface texture and a weight of 1.37 kg. The object is warm to the touch, approximately the same temperature as a human body, although its core temperature is slightly higher. Personnel handling SCP-447-1 have reported no adverse effects, so long as SCP-447-1 does not come into contact with a dead body. SCP-447 was retrieved by Foundation agents on B*** in the city of California, United States of America. The incident clearly illustrates the danger inherent in allowing either SCP-447 unit to come into contact with a dead body. The dangers of allowing SCP-447-1 or 2 to come into contact with dead bodies have been clearly documented. All eyewitness reports can be found in Appendix 447-B.
