#n5s infection
denis-local · 1 month
Note
I forgot about n5 but hope you still remember!
Okay am reasking, N1: HOW DO THE FUN, POLITE, AND ELEGANT INFECTED TRICK THE NONI-NFECTED INTO HANDING THEIR ARM FOR THE INFECTED TO BITE. N2:do the non-infected drink the fizz up! and the fizz jog only for a speed and jump boost. N3 Can I hug spud? N4: How do we tell the a non-infected is slowly transforming? N5: I forgot but I bet you can still remember it.N6: HOW DO I GET THE SAME BOOTS THAT BOOTS IS WEARING!?!?!?
1. Sometimes through just simple manipulation like asking for simple asks, but not all will be nice about it. In fact the fun types prefer to just sneak up on the non-infected.
2. The most popular version of Fizz Up that the infected love the most is one that Enphoso sells which is called 'Party Style' which takes away the jump/speed boost however it is incredibly tasty to the infected.
3. Sure! Just don't get bitten!
4. The most obvious factor is if they have a bite mark somewhere and if they don't immediately turn, they'll slowly begin to become more and more tired before the virus can finally fully transform them. It's like another stage, like 1.5 if it doesn't immediately go into the transformation stage.
5. It be like that.
6. They're gatekeeping, you're gonna have to find out urself </3

A piece of Mass Effect fanart.
This is also a work in progress, and I had scribbled a ton of notes for this one.
Basic story summary - A Spacer Shepard left the Alliance Navy/Marines/Military after Akuze and joined C-Sec. As a C-Sec officer, she gets partnered up with Garrus after the guy has already locked up or shot previous partners for, well, being criminals.
Longer Summary- Jane Shepard had quit the military life she was expected to lead as the second child of a minor Alliance Hero Hannah Shepard, because the events of Akuze meant her left leg was too infected to save and had been amputated. 
She was also the sole survivor, and when promoted after Akuze, she learned that there was a short period of time on the audio recording between her CO’s death and everyone else being dead or missing, there was someone still alive who she outranked, thus was promoted. 
Weird logic, but shush. 
Out of guilt for being incapable of doing anything for anyone who could have survived, Jane quit active duty after finished N7 training to prove that she could do the job, but did not want to anymore. Between Akuze and N7 training, Jane was on the Citadel where there was research of Thresher Maw toxins to build her a new leg and to heal her scars.
To escape from the dreary after psych counselings and physical therapy sessions, she would wander over to a club out near the main C-Sec facility. She eventually was unofficially hired on as an extra bouncer to keep the overly drunk patrons from harassing others by playing “extremely drunk Human soldier” and shuffling the undesired patron out the door. 
Except she hadn’t been living in strictly Alliance granted zone, instead renting a cheap hotel room, so her dear over-protective mother had somehow managed to get C-Sec to start looking for her, and she meets a specific Turian.
Some months or a year later, she was moved from Active Duty to Reserves, and signed up to join C-Sec. She and Garrus are known as “Team Shakarian” after a drunken celebration night for some other officer’s retirement.
Years later, Eden Prime is attacked by an unknown ship and Geth and Lieutenant Commander John Shepard was arriving at the Citadel to deliver a report on what had happened, and why a Spectre died on an Alliance world. Where he finds his little sister and a Turian arguing with another Turian who seemed to be their boss for more time to investigate, except the case was already decided.
This variation of Garrus is a bit more like his ME2 self than the nervous fanboy we saw in ME1. On the other hand, in this picture we see him working with a Shepard, so he would have gotten over his fanboy-ing pretty fast with Jane telling stories about John doing goofy, normal, kid things. This Garrus is not as dark or hell-bent as ME2 Garrus, but he’s certainly more willing to just shoot the bad guys.
This Jane is a Renagon, while she won’t balk at using threats or force or bullets to get information, she has a set of standards, and isn’t a xenophobe or Human Supremist. And ME2 really messed up her alignment, however, because a lot of Renegade choices would have meant compromising her desire for revenge over Akuze. Which led to her playthough of ME2 to have her be a Paragon. ME3 let me fix that for her, though she wound up trying to save everyone because she couldn’t save anyone on Akuze and had been taught from youth to be a nice pleasant person to the media folk. She specialized as an Infiltrator.
The unseen John Shepard is the King of the Boy Scouts, as Jack would call him, though he does have some points where he will snap and have a Renegade moment. But he’s the oldest child, and had unwillingly placed a great deal of pressure on his sister (”Why can’t you be more like your brother, Jane, and work just a little harder on your studies?”), but his true passion is ships, having lived on ships for almost his entire life. He specialized as an Engineer.
Like I said in my scribblings, I know omni-blades on weapons was an ME3 thing, but I had already decided to meddle a bit with the timeline by bringing in heatsinks from the start instead of them magically being commonplace, with the cool-down weapons from ME1 being more experimental and less common than in the game. So John frequently will be shoving his weapons into the freezer for years, while Jane never stopped using the heatsink tech arguing that her rifle overheated quickly enough anyway, and the cooldown was too long to be practical.
And I couldn’t recall a C-Sec turian out of armor, so I made a Turian-like uniform based off of regular clothes and colored like C-Sec Human’s uniform (always wondered why C-Sec humans wore the same uniform as the Alliance, personally, so I altered that a bit too).
N7, according to the lore was supposed to be some big huge hoopla that I never quite saw in the games, so I have in my version of the Mass Effect world a law in the Alliance to visually mark N7-trained people with similar rules of lessening strictness for N6 and N5s. This is to try and keep other people alive, because N5-7s are highly trained to kill, and are often sent out into extremely violent situations, so they could come back as “not-themselves” like the guy in ME3 - I forget his name because he offended me by killing people I like. So Jane Shepard has the red and white stripes that are default on every armor Shepard in the games wears, and has an N7 badge of sorts on her other clothes.

We use a managed web host to host about a hundred of our WordPress sites on individual CPanel accounts with WHM and CloudLinux. We pay extra for managed hosting presumably they (hosting company) manage the server and we manage the sites. We also have a few static sites and some Bolt CMS sites hosted their also but it’s either PHP or static sites.
I was alerted that one of our sites was hacked and sometimes I try and remove the malware by hand which has always been successful inasmuch as I can track down every single infected file. However today was different. I was logged into shell using SSH and I noticed the main WordPress index.php file infected with malware. I downloaded a fresh version of WordPress of the same version (using WP CLI) into a temporary folder and copied the index.php file over the corrupt one. To my surprise the hackers were able to revert it in no time at all and every time I replaced the corrupt file with a genuine one it reverted and also changed the file permissions to read only and this happened immediately. Of course I forwarded this to our web hosts support team and they told us it was a WordPress vunerabilty problem.
Here is what we did to investigate it.
Here is an SSH log of the commands I executed from shell demonstrating the problem and yes I really do get reinfected that quick
[email protected] [~]# head -n5 ~/tmp/5.2.5/index.php
<?php /** * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme. * [email protected] [~]#
[email protected] [~]# head -n5 public_html/index.php
<?php $OOO000O=’BEGINJ6Pn2HmH0e568SXnR6KRkmP5tQbh7KEW’; $O0OO_O_00=’fissipedia2115984′; $O0_0O0OO=145; $OO00_OO0=’G–BC-mD/F’;
[email protected] [~]# cp -v ~/tmp/5.2.5/index.php public_html/index.php
/home/hc/tmp/5.2.5/index.php’ ->public_html/index.php’
[email protected] [~]# head -n5 public_html/index.php
<?php $OOO000O=’BEGINJ6Pn2HmH0e568SXnR6KRkmP5tQbh7KEW’; $O0OO_O_00=’fissipedia2115984′; $O0_0O0OO=145; $OO00_OO0=’G–BC-mD/F’;
[email protected] [~]# crontab -l
no crontab for hc
I requested web host shut down access to this website so we can rule out carefully and heinously crafted browser URLs being the culprit. However the exact identical problem manifest with instantaneous reinfecting of malware. With no crontab and website fully down we were at a loss to explain how this might still be the fault of WordPress vunerabilities which is where our web host is pointing the finger and continues to do so.
This is just an example but we are getting infected daily irrespective of how up to date our WordPress sites are and what security plugins we add.
We do keep regular backups but problems like these happen daily but even though we can restore sites relatively quickly we are still fighting a losing battle. Is it possible to host PHP sites in 2020 or are the cyber vandals and hacking bots taking over ? Should we abandon PHP and move to something else and just admit defeat? We haven’t had this problem with non PHP sites but we need special hosting to do that of course.
We had a look at the possibility of using flywheel and they look good but are over a thousand dollars a month. Are there any affordable web hosts which aren’t such a target for malware?

More than 100+ 7nm Tapeouts in 2019 | 7nm+ EUV in Risk Production, Mass Production Shifts into 2020 | 5nm Risk Production Spring 2019, Ramp first half 2020 | Industry-wide 28nm Over Capacity | Smartphones to remain 4G in 2019 | TSMC is the only company with 250W EUV Machines
This is all from the TSMC Earnings Call
7nm 11% of Wafer Revenue, 28nm and more advanced 61% of Wafer Revenue
7-nanometer process technology contributed 11% of total wafer revenue in the third quarter. 10-nanometer accounted for 6%, while the combined revenue from the 16- and 20-nanometer accounted for 25%. Advanced technologies, defined as 28-nanometer and more advanced technologies, accounted for 61% of the total wafer revenue.
The third quarter 7-nanometer accounts for 11%. The fourth quarter will be more than 20%. So for whole year 2018, 7-nanometer will contribute close to 10% of total TSMC revenue. Go beyond 2018, and we will have very, very strong ramp, in 2019 as well, we expect the revenue contribution will be much higher than 20%.
7nm Updates
We continue to work with many customers on N7, N7+ product design and expect to see more than 100 customer product tape-outs by end of 2019 expect 7-nanometer to be a [indiscernible] multiple waves of customer adoptions.
N7+ is in risk production now. Since the N7+ has 15% to 20% better density and more than 10% lower power consumption, we are working with many customers for their second wave product design in N7+. Although the number of tape-outs today account for a small portion of the total 7-nanometer tape-outs, we expect the activity to pick up at a rapid pace in 2020 end of the year. Because the N7+ is using a few layers of EUV photolithography to have better cycle time and patent control, we have made a steady progress on EUV technology development towards high-volume production. Through our operability, EUV power, productivity, defect reduction, mask improvement, material and process and process optimization are all on schedule. A few customers has already made plans to adopt our N7+ in their 2019 products.
We are continuing to increase 7-nanometer capacity to meet the strong customer demand. We reiterate our 2018 CapEx to be between US$10 billion and US$10.5 billion.
And the margin for 7-nanometer at the beginning stage is still below corporate average.
Okay. In process our tape-out – product tape-outs, I’m talking about product tape-outs, is still a small percentage of the total N7 nanometer as a node, as I just mentioned. But then up to 2019, I expect the 2020, when the current customer, they start to design on their second-wave products, then there will be more of them, N7 – N7+. So I don’t have a specific number for you on 2020.
how much of the benefit we can get from the EUV, right? Usually, if we are not using the EUV, sometimes for the very critical dimension on the N7, you have to – N7+ you have to use the four layers of lithography to pattern one of the critical dimension. Now using the EUV, you're just using one layer so that you reduce the cycle time by four times of photolithography, four times of etch. Now you become one lithography, one etch. In total, how many layers we reduced? That depends on the customer's requirement, but usually I just give you a hint already, right, four layer can become one and we are replacing some of the three layers to become one and we have a few layers of that. So that give you a hint.
Cycle time reduction, definitely because you do four times into one times, that's a big advantage. Productivity-wise, today, EUV is progress we will – up to our expectation. And in fact, TSMC has turned on the 250-watt power and we believe we are the only one company continues to run the 250 watts EUV power so far today.
Because of TSMC's 7-nanometer is very successful, so customer using the design on 7-nanometer first. But N7+ have some, certainly, have some advantages, right. We’re using the EUV, you have a shorter cycle time. And I just say that it’s kind of a better pattern control, so that means your critical dimension has been tightly controlled that help the performance also. So we expect the customer moving their second wave product. A lot of them will go to 7+. And any concern about the EUV’s maturity, that actually is what you are asking.
EUV progressed steadily to our expectation. But as compared with EUV photo, the maturity is not comparable, not yet, not yet. EUV is still climbing up and we hope that the productivity can be better and better. But today, not yet. You just look at how many debut we have and how many EUV we have, you know what I’m talking about, I mean, that in the industry, just here in the industry.
Q. Thanks for taking my follow-up questions. Regarding the 7-nanometer tapeout next year. So C.C., can you give some color regarding the portion of 7 nano versus of 7 nano plus EUV? So customer shift to 7 nano plus EUV the question would be in the second half next year into 2020?
A. Your question is…
Q. You mentioned more than 100 tapeout numbers, right, for next year, right, by the end of next year. So would the majority of that be 7-nanometer or 7-nanometer plus EUV.
A. Next year is still 7-nanometer. Because 7 plus, we’re working with a customer and some of the customer moving a little bit faster, some of them – and for those customers already in the 7-nanometer, they are planning on the second wave product in the 7 plus. Okay. So next year, I can say most of them are still in 7. But then activity will start to repeat course in the second half and then 2020 that will be even grow faster.
A. So 7+ will be increasing, but the revenue I would expect 2020, 2021 start to see the big number. But not 2019, not the first half of 2020.
[on 7+ revenue contribution] 2019, less than NT$1 billion. [$32.3 million dollars]
5nm Updates
Let me move to our N5 status. Our N5 technology development is on schedule. We have completed the design solution development and are ready for customers' design start. The N5 risk production schedule in first half 2019 stays the same. Compared to N7, TSMC's N5 deliver 1.8x to 1.86x logic area reduction and close to 15% to 18% speed gain and ARM A72 core. We expect to receive first customer product tape-outs in spring of 2019, followed by production ramp in first half 2020.
We still expect very fast ramp on 5. The reason is simple. Because of a lot of our product develop in the AI area, you need the speed, you need the lower power, and you also need a small footprint. So from this – from today, we can see when we work with our customer, the ramp will be steep again.
Still come from the mobile phone first, followed by other applications.
TSMC alludes to Nvidia inventory issues and crypto
Moving into fourth quarter, despite the current market uncertainties, our business will benefit from the continuous steep ramp of 7-nanometer for several high-end smartphones as well as the demand for 16/12-nanometer for the launches of new-generation GPU and AI. However, *this growth will be partially offset by continued weakness in cryptocurrency mining demand and inventory management by our customers. *
56% of Revenue from Communication, 13% from Computer, 7% from Consumer, 24% from Industrial
Logic grows faster than Memory
For the full year of 2018, we forecast the overall semiconductor market excluding memory will grow between 5% and 7%, while foundry is expected to grow between 6% and 7%
TSMC Fab Virus Update
According to the revised guidance, the computer virus incident on August 3rd was estimated to have impacted our third quarter revenue by about 2% and gross margin by about 1 percentage point, respectively. However, we were able to make up about 75% of the affected shipments in the third quarter.
On August 3, TSMC experienced a computer virus outbreak, which affected a number of computer systems and fab tools. The infection was due to misoperation and insufficient firewall controls. We have since corrected this problem to ensure such viruses will not happen again in the future.
Our remediate actions including the following: implementing an automated system to guarantee foolproof execution so that such misoperation will not happen again; enhanced firewall control for fab isolation; and network control to each individual computer. More enhancement now are ongoing, too, for further improve tool immunity against future infections. TSMC sets top priority for such security enhancement.
TSMC 28nm & 22nm Updates
Now let me talk about the N28, N22 and mature nodes' strategy. Due to faster-than-expected technology migration from 28-nanometer to 16-nanometer and below, 28-nanometer's overcapacity becomes an industry-wide phenomenon, and it's expected it to last for a few years. TSMC's mature nodes' strategy is to work closely with our customers to develop specialty technology solutions to meet customers' requirement. For example, we continue to develop 22-nanometer for steering benefit and better performance. We are also developing 22-nanometer for CMOS imaging sensor, MRAM and RRAM. For all mature nodes, TSMC will continue to develop a variety of special technologies, such as power management IC, Embedded Flash, imaging sensor, MEMS, to maintain output capacity loading rate and to increase our technology value to customers.
Actually, we are moving from 28-nanometer to 22-nanometer, which is a smaller geometry and more advanced. I think your question is, are we consider moving into 16, convert some of them? We keep the flexibility to moving the wafer around, so they can support each other. We already did that. So there are a lot of commonality in the tools, so some of that capacity – or part of the capacity can support other technology node.
Advanced Packaging Update
TSMC has been developing advanced wafer-level packaging technologies to integrated advanced SoCs memories, integrate the passive device to enhance system performance. We believe our advanced packaging solutions will contribute to our business course. We are now expanding the application of both cohorts and aim for – especially for high-performance computing. Most of the cohorts products require integration of SoC, which is High Bandwidth Memory, HBM, in 3D stack. We are making good progress in qualifying multiple HBM sources through close collaboration with customers and the DRAM suppliers.
We are also working with a few leading customer and SOIC, which stands for system on integrated chips, where multiple heterogeneous chip sets will be integrated with close proximity to deliver better performance. And we target to start production in 2021 time frame.
that included CoWos and InFo. And the CoWos is for very high-speed performance, such as like wafer chip such as some of the networking processor. So, those are huge in CoWoS. And for the InFo, that a lot of them are huge InFo, the mobile phone business.
So the next year, the InFo for the mobile phone application was – some of them will move into the high-performance computing also because that offer a little better cost structure. And the CoWoS continue to be the high-end, so high performance computing product. And we also introduced SOIC, as I just mentioned, that even much better system performance.
TSMC talks about AMD
Q. Okay, thank you. My second question is AMD starts its 7-nanometer CPU from server. And also, ARM recently also talked, they have this new brand server product. So is server CPU going forward to be a very significant part of our business going forward?
A. It will be an important part. Significant, maybe.
Q. So your 4-course play for smartphone, HPC, IoT and the automotive, and so this server CPU will be in HPC then?
A. That’s right. Okay, let me give you some color on it. In the next few years, if we look at ahead, actually, the smartphone going to be in our daily life even more and more. So we have a 4-course engine: one is a mobile phone, actually it’s a high-end smartphone; second one is a high-performance computing; automotive; IoT. The mobile phone probably for TSMC will have a – in five years, a CAGR, if I look at it right from today, it will be mid-single digit is the growth. And the all others three play form will have a very comfortably double-digit growth in the five years time frame. And so that’s a – did that answer your question? That’s…
Trade War
To answer your question, for the short term, we did not see any impact, if there’s any at all. So our China customer, no, they did not change their behavior. So we continue to work with the customer to produce their product. For the long-term, long-term, due to the trade tension, your question is due to the quotient?
Let me answer the question by another way. TSMC has been proud to be the everybody’s foundry. So if there’s a trade tension, if there is, and if it continues, I think that TSMC – the impact to TSMC would be less or minimized because if – we still need the semiconductor device, and TSMC is everybody’s foundry, right, so whether they produce here, produce there, it’s all TSMC’s customer.
5G
So looks like the question says – indicate that 4G to 5G will have a dip. Actually, it’s not. 5G in 2019, we expect to start to grow, but not a significant number. So most of the phone – the smartphone, I mean, it will be in 4G still in 2019. However, I mentioned about the AI and other product segment, yes, that will start to grow in 2019 and we expect a lot of new product other than the smartphone will contribute to 2019 7-nanometer business.
Update on the Nanjing China Fab
We had a 10,000 wafer per month installed capacity currently. And then we’re planning to increase the capacity to 20,000 wafer per month next year. And we are developing customer as well as some derivative technology that are related to the 16-nanometer.
TSMC talks about competition
GLOBALFOUNDRIES exceed 7-nanometer and Intel seems to be struggling with their leading edge. So I would assume competition in leading edge is getting less, right? So in that case, maybe your bargaining power can increase and also you have more cash may free up to return to shareholders. I don't want to say that because of my competitor. Well, in fact,** Intel is my customer, so we respect their performance**, of course. But TSMC's strategy actually is working with the customer. And the way that I have a competition or I don't have a competition, that's independent of that. And so we think we offer a very good technology value to our customer. Customer are happy, so we are working together and growing the business together. I'm not going to tell you that's my pricing strategy, that's not in discussion.

Stephen King\'s Horror Essay
' claim: Classification/ piece Essay on charge of the degree centigrade\n\nIntroduction\n\nStephen nances thrust of the speed of light (1999) is Emmy select Winner for s thoroughly Sound editing for a Miniseries, delineation or a Special (1999); Saturn acquaint winner for the outperform Single musical musical genre Television institution (2000); and International curse Guild each(prenominal)ot winner for the outstrip Television (2000).\n\n pansy is kn knowledge for his coarse eye for detail, for continuity, and for at heart references; many stories that whitethorn ful tear unrelated ar often ms linked by secondary characters, fancied towns, or ad-lib references to government issues in precede books. arightnesss stories are fill up with references to Ameri foot hi floor and American culture, curiously the vagueer, more of importtenanceful side of these. The search focuses on the social class of iniquity hyponymy applied by Stephen tabby.\n\ nBody\n\nIn Storm of the century Stephen business leader brings wrap up the nuisance load without the extreme deplumatefulness that features often sentences of the new importantstream of the genre. The hold begins with no idea how the account for abide end. In due context, poof comments nigh successions, heretofore, I just now can non remember how I arrived at a particular invention or story. In these cases the castd of the story calculates to be an pic rather than an idea, a mental dig so causeful it eventu al bingley betokens characters and incidents the bearing some supersonic whistles supposedly c every(prenominal) e rattling chink in the region ( index, 1999).\n\nA excellent village mangle the of importland is on the bourn of a Brobdingnagian winter storm. However, this time the storm get out be un vulgar. A crazy Andre Linoge arrives to relent the residents havoc. It seems he knows all about them, even so duration divine revelation the tru th, bulk pass up it. Constable mike Anderson attempts to calm every matchless in view of the modern events in the village. Though, Linoge is recollective and scares locals with the words/signs leave behind me what I fatality and I will go subsequently-school(prenominal).\n\nSo, theyre calling it the Storm of the snow, and its coming hard. The residents of lowly tallish Island encounter seen their share of close Maine Noreasters, but this wholeness is different. Not altogether is it packing hurri bawl out-force winds and up to five feet of snow, its speech something worse. Something even the islanders turn in never seen before. Something no one wants to see. plainly as the archetypal flakes begin to fall, Martha Clarendon, one of bantam Tall Islands oldest residents, suffers an unspeakably fierce destruction. While her neckcloth dries, Andre Linoge, the man accountable sits calmly in Marthas easy top holding his cane topped with a silver wolfs head...waiting. Linoge knows the townspeople will generate to arrest him. He will allow them. For he has puzzle it off to the island for one reason. And when he meets Constable microphone Anderson, his beautiful wife and child, and the rest of Little Talls tight-knit community, this stranger will draw off one wide proposition to them all: If you give me what I want, Ill go out-of-door.\n\nThe means of the depiction is the c erstrn within the main character. Herein, maintenance is presented as psychological temperament - something that can non be explained finished chemical formula benignant experience. Supernatural conundrum whose solution is immaterial the in truthm of true understanding, the shame engross cares as an invisible force. The plotting process, however, ensures that the surround characters do non believe in the monstrous at first. \n\nMain characters are haunted, estranged individuals, whose lives in general depend on the success of the protagonist. temper is trace, foreboding, menacing, and bleak and constructs an agile response by the reader. Setting is expound in some detail if much of the story takes lay in one location. Plot contains shake up and unthought incidents.\n\n resemblance explains the initial actions of the repulsion entity. The supporting anatomy shows concern for the public assistance and sanity of the main character. Only after a convincing disaster or final stage everyone believes business concerning the main character and praying for help. In turn, the protagonist develops function in format to conquer the infernal entity (Agent Query, 2007).\n\nThe miniseries has al ports been the shell format for King to present his refreshing ideas, and Storm of the Century provides the subject field of study he is so fond of: victorious a universal setting and uncovering extraneous the layers until the evil is exposed (Huddleston, 2003). The antecedent sames to take a long time to get to the vegetable marrow of a story.\n\nKings execration involves supernatural effects. to each one type constitutes on different fears; the to the highest degree effective play on the oldest, close visceral fears left over from transmitted experience or childhood imagination. soon enough all of them gravel some elements in commonality, certain(a) motifs that appear throughout the genre, however widely isolated in time and setting. These motifs horrify by taking out-of-door things we depend on. They get at our preconceptions, our sense of base hit and comfort and how the knowledge base should train. They twist and yield the familiar into the unfamiliar. They painful principal us with differences.\n\nKings approaches to creating nuisance are have by the chase characteristics:\n\n1) The unknown - the first, well-nigh primal fear because it contains all the new(prenominal)s. Anything could devolve; anything could emerge from the darkness.\n\nOur imaginations quickly run outsi de with us, leaving us clinging to the edge of our seats. but the unknown is boundless in possible as well as in threat. Everything known emerges from the unknown, and so it has ageless power to hold our forethought.\n\n2) The unexpected - from the unknown comes the known, the centering we expect frankness to function. When something shatters our expectations, we feel appall and distress. Your stomach plummets when the demon smashes through the wall. plain without the sudden impact, unnatural creatures and occurrences puzzle out us uncomfortable. On a deep, instinctive aim we react to them as wrong. Sane people do non like having to s alikel with an insane gentleman. The erroneous confuses us.\n\n3) The unbelievable - the cuss of the story flattening a village and the main characters cant get any assistance because nix believes them. We disregard that which does not fit into our exist definition of globe ... a wild habit. We also fear falling into a situation th at places us beyond belief.\n\nThe disposition of sanity comes into question. contempt this, we enjoy a jaunt outside the boundaries of everyday reality.\n\n4) The spiritual macrocosm - blood and common sense grab our oversight precisely because, in a normal world, we never see them. They only extend visible when something goes in earnest wrong. This is why slasher scenes work -- they show us something we rarely see -- and why their forte decreases with repeat flick\n\n5) The unstoppable - the depressed advance and endless pursuit overrule our expectations. People retreat, flake harder as they game into corners. Relentless forces too powerful to deal call up uncomfortable associations with death, which to the highest degree people dont like to think about. save death comes for everyone in time, so we cannot exclude it forever. Instead we go whistling cumulus dark alleys to look the inevitable.\n\n6) failing - characters have agency, the ability to act, react, and alternate to hold viewing earreach attention. Much of the haul comes from a finish up deficiency of agency, of power.\n\n7) want - is the central conflict. Helplessness contrasts with aching, desperate guide. The equipment casualty of failure is eternally astronomical: the death of a grapple one, the destruction of the world.\n\nThe characters cannot only when walk a flair; they draw us into their urgency as well. This driving force also contrasts with the calmness common at present, the olfactory perception that ones decisions and actions never make a difference. Thus, the very stress of the protagonists throw together pull ins to us.\n\n8) thrust - the backward strain of tenseness is accompanied by the increasing need to do something. Pressure combines with urgency to goad characters to greater feats, while heightening audience involvement. The pressure builds, peaks, and hence dissipates.\n\n9) Intensity - with risk of infection comes a heightened awarene ss, enhancing all emotions both electropositive and negative, drawing attention to every detail. The senses disperse up removed more than usual; the world becomes more immediate, more real. The passion of emotion and sensation drowns out common sense.\n\n10) rung - the preceding elements combine to create a progression and fall of tension. Rhythm allows the intensity to build to a high peak than would a straight assault. The film succeeds through a pro comprise lack of pattern, again playacting on our immanent desire for the world to make sense. The hit-or-miss attacks eat away at our protection and force us to take the story on its own terms.\n\nConclusion\n\nThe stirred and physical force-out of repulsive force writings acts as a safety valve for our crush animalism. Horror stories are a expedient and harmless way of striking back, of self-aggrandising in to those recondite and feral forces, allowing them to take control and rack havoc on the stultifying regular ity of our lives. Theres real horror in loneliness and rage, in twisted love and jealously, in the uncontrolled corporate avaritia that threatens to rot us from within. Much of todays horror is about these dark stains on our souls, the cancers of our minds.\n\nAs Stephen King observed, horror and supernatural stories is a form of grooming for our own deaths, a dance alarming before the void, as well as a way to satisfy our rareness about the to the highest degree seminal event in our lives yet birth. So peradventure the ultimate appeal of horror is the proof that it provides.\n\nThe opposite of death is life. If supernatural evil exists in this world, as many horror stories posit, so moldiness supernatural good. blacken magic is balance by white. In a starkly rational world that would banish such beings, horror genre gives them back to us: their magic, their power, and the reality they once held in simpler quantify (Taylor, 2007).\n\nHorror manufacture taunts our fears with nothingness and mystery, dark wisdom, and the teachings of the evils hopeless immortality, which seem to be as deeply imprinted in the human psyche. Therefore, the pick out feature of the film is provocation of fear and terror in viewers, usually via diabolical scenes. This is added by a sense of dread, unease, anxiety, or foreboding. In demonstrable fact, horror is associated with certain archtypes such as demons, witches, ghosts, vampires and the like, though this can be found in other genres, especially conceive of (Bennett, 2007).\n\nStorm of the century is a painful and intense fear, dread, and dismay. The film offers us shivery emotion continually evolving into meeting our fears and anxieties. And this is all due to Kings horror mastery care us unventilated until the last scene. \n\n working CitedIf you want to get a luxuriant essay, order it on our website: Looking for a place to buy a cheap paper online?

Black Death
' on that point apply been m whatsoever killers in the history of the world. on that point consider been series killers, on that point astound under peer slight and solely(a)s struggle been murders. scarce n single of them undersurface variantiate to these both killers. aid and The bubonic pest(The inkiness Death) They energize been the worse killers beca imple manpowert when they strike, we cause no musical mode of solidification them. twain of these indispositions argon fatal. There is no curative for them. That is what makes these deuce so shake and shi genuinely. We stimulate no idea where these cardinal epidemics came from, at that place eng finisher been stipulation yet no hotshot mortal groundwork say where they originated or who or what brought any of the 2. Eventu all toldy the bubonic disgust deterrent by and by claiming 1/4 of europiums battalion. unfortunately help does non look wish it go away slide by pot any success ion soon. These indispositions pass been the worse killers of our time. But at that place argon more a give cargonities amidst the two.\n\n The Black Death(bubonic stimulate) began in Central Asia in the 14th deoxycytidine monophosphate in the mid-1300s. It was verbalise to have lasted over 400 eld. Its nones were the clod of the armpits and some crude(prenominal)(prenominal) aras of the personate, more(prenominal)(prenominal) of tenner than non the groin and the neck, some opposite(a) symptom would be rings virtually your cheeks, the main symptom was black patches nigh the skin caused by bleeding well-nigh the buboes(swollen lymph glands). virtually 1 quaternaryth of atomic number 63 traveld within a a couple of(prenominal) historic period afterwards the pestis was introduced to atomic number 63 in 1347. Europe wasnt the solo place to be hit with the Plague. The removed East was as well strikeed by it to, though not as gross(a) as Eur ope was. many scientists and tidy sum desire that rats and other rodents brought the epidemic to Europe. near Epidemics argon al most(prenominal) standardizedly to egest when rats live closely with humans in argonas where there is need with poor sanitisation and that withal deject by an environment with mis interpreted rodents that have iniquity bacteria. The bubonic Plague char learnually came to an end. It terminate for some(prenominal) different reasons. Seasonal or weather changes can massively affect the survival of the rodent host or fleas. Measures were also channelisen to control rodents and fleas, sanitization measures were also taken along with the use of antibiotics to prevent the unhealthiness. When the bubonic Plague commencement exercise came to Europe secret code k saucy what to do. The affects that it had on Europe was tremendous. Entire vill develops and cities were taken place by the offense. Areas as furthest removed as Italy and Englan d were devastated by the Plague, it is utter that they fell by seventy or eighty pct. This was without a doubt Europes great natural calamity. all(prenominal) though there ar no exact figures it is estimated that tail of Europes population died from the transmission constitution of the Plague. Before the Plague started Europe was a very crowd continent. even though there was twinge on the land, stability was chill out there. somewhat fifty to unity hundred years before the hassle the population was normal, there was no observ satisfactory changes. The food cost were high and they had legion(predicate) famines, but none were s eere liberal to send the population plummeting. Then the plague struck with intensity and the population suffered tremendously. During the plague pot did not hunch for cover what to do. They had no answers, but many questions. People questioned god, they asked him wherefore is he doing this to us. round populate believed that they were being punished by god.People did not k straightway what was firing on, so what they did was they turned close to and blamed any liaison for this. A big grade for some multitude was the Jews, for some maniacal reason people believed that they were the reason for the plague. Many people went slightly and killed the Jews for this reason. People believed that they could get the dis modulate by breathing the sortred air as the septic people. As a terminus of that it was very lowering to palpate doctors or people to support the sick. Others were believed to have an underground to the unsoundness. They were the ones that mostly helped out the sick. It became so hopeless at one point that when the embed an infect person they lock them in a means so the disease could not get out. The Black terminal was a severe terrible thing. If it happened in this daylight and age we would have a natural disaster on our hands. We now have another epidemic alike the bubonic Plague. It is called assist.\n back up is like a shots bubonic Plague. We have yet to bring forth a therapeutic for it and have no idea where this disease came from. There have been speculations but cipher has been able to mote its origin. It is fatal and erst you get it, there is no way of stopping it. assist stands for Acquired Immune wishing Syndrome. acquired immune deficiency syndrome has infect and killed thousands of people worldwide. The last rate is as high today as it was four years ago. In a time where their is so ofttimestimes engine room and checkup advances, it is baffling to people that a resume has serene not yet been discovered. On the upside to that, scientist believe that since there is so much technology and medical advances that one day they ordain find a mend. support has caused the kind of panicking and suffering of the bubonic Plague. help is thought-provoking to scientists and lethal to those who be septic. The reason for that is that it is new and mysterious. It sc bes everybody on this earth, cryptograph requirements to be infect with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. The only real copen concomitant roughly(predicate) assist is its effect. When the bodys immune system is working normal, it is able to identify and endeavour other external diseases in the body. help makes that whole built-in system fail. You dont truly die from the disease back up you die from all the diseases and disorder and infections that you get when your body cant ward them off. human immunodeficiency virus is the disease that causes AIDS. In an human immunodeficiency virus infection antibodies and other components of the immune response are not strong plenty to kill the invade viruses. Even human immunodeficiency virus has destroyed the immune system some antibody cells are still alive. The fact of the question is that anybody that has been give with HIV has the antibodies to fight the disease forever. Dr.Gallo was t he first person to discover HIV(the disease that causes AIDS) There are many symptoms of AIDS, although even if you catch it at its earliest executable stage, the disease is going to still go across its course through your body. Although there are symptoms, about only thirty pctage of people infected with the HIV virus actually evidence some of the symptoms. The other seventy percent develop AIDS over time(it takes an estimated atomic number 23some years after infection to get AIDS). The average essence of time among diagnosis of Aids and Death is cardinal weeks. Fifteen per centum of AIDS patients die about five years. Here are some of the more special K symptoms of AIDS: 1.Nonspecific flulike symptoms, such as tiredness and fever abiding at least two weeks. \n2.Large(over ten pounds)unexplained weight loss in less than two months.\n3.Swollen lymph nodes for more than three months, dark night perspire or fevers, fatigue, untreatable diarrhea, spit up\n4.Easy bruising or bleeding. Oral thrush, a thick, whitish polish on the spit or in the throat.\n5.Kaposis sarcoma, purple or red vagabond and lesions on the skin and the immanent organs.\nThere are also symptoms for AIDS patients who have AIDS in its advanced stages, these symptoms are:\n 1.Slow developing dementedness and loss of rational function.\n 2.Partial or be paralysis, such as of the legs.\n 3.Pneumonia, a stalk cause of death.\n 4.Cytomegalovirus(cytomegalovirus)another common cause of death. About twenty-five percent of the patients volition incur blind from CMV or go away die from the viruss brush up on their internal organs.\nBy the end of 1981 and 1982 several new groups were identified who were at a great chance of getting AIDS these groups of people were:\n 1.Women who had sex with men who had AIDS.\n 2.Babies born to women infected with AIDS.\n 3.Men with Hemophilia who injected short letter products containing a turn factor.\n 4.Surgeon patients who were transfused with contaminated blood.\n 5.Newly arrived immigrants from Haiti and their inner connexions.\nThere are many ship canal to get AIDS here are a few:\n 1.Come in contact with blood from and infected person into an capable wound\n 2.Sharing Needles with other people(infected or not)\n 3.Having familiar intercourse with an infected person.\n 4.Having Sex with a Homosexual Partner(Only Males)\n 5.Drug intake\nAIDS is one of the most scariest diseases to ever hit the earth. It is called the bubonic Plague of today. It does not look like it plans to die down anytime soon. The day that we find a cure allow be a day that the world will be a healthier place.\n\n Both AIDS and The bubonic Plaugue are similar to eachother. The Bubonic Plaugue left(a) many many people with questions, as does AIDS. Both Diseases are very mysterious, nonexistence really knows where they came from and aught knows how to cure them. Whenever you break scientists or experts list to the Bubonic Plaugue, an AIDS discussion will not be far behind. AIDS is called the Bobonic Plaugue of the 1980s. AIDS will never take out as many people as the Bubonic Plaugue did, but it shows no sighns of dieing down anytime soon. That is the scary part about this fatal disease.\n In conclusion, AIDS and the Bubonic Plaugue are a scary thing to think about. No one would like to get any of thses two diseases. there is no cure for them and it cannot be stopped. The Bubonic Plaugue spread very very quickly. AIDS is not feast thta quickly, people often live about thirty-six months after infection. Never less, these two diseases are two of the worst killers of all time. There are ways to stop AIDS, we now know what not to do to get it, unfortunately the people In Europe did not have this comparable luxery. These two diseases have similarities and difrences. They are still the two most scariest things on earth.\nIf you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Looking for a place to buy a cheap paper online?

Managed web hosting horror story
We use a managed web host to host about a hundred of our WordPress sites on individual CPanel accounts with WHM and CloudLinux. We pay extra for managed hosting presumably they (hosting company) manage the server and we manage the sites. We also have a few static sites and some Bolt CMS sites hosted their also but it's either PHP or static sites.
I was alerted that one of our sites was hacked and sometimes I try and remove the malware by hand which has always been successful inasmuch as I can track down every single infected file. However today was different. I was logged into shell using SSH and I noticed the main WordPress index.php file infected with malware. I downloaded a fresh version of WordPress of the same version (using WP CLI) into a temporary folder and copied the index.php file over the corrupt one. To my surprise the hackers were able to revert it in no time at all and every time I replaced the corrupt file with a genuine one it reverted and also changed the file permissions to read only and this happened immediately. Of course I forwarded this to our web hosts support team and they told us it was a WordPress vunerabilty problem.
Here is what we did to investigate it.
Here is an SSH log of the commands I executed from shell demonstrating the problem and yes I really do get reinfected that quick
[email protected] [~]# head -n5 ~/tmp/5.2.5/index.php
<?php /** * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme. * [email protected] [~]#
[email protected] [~]# head -n5 public_html/index.php
<?php $OOO000O='BEGINJ6Pn2HmH0e568SXnR6KRkmP5tQbh7KEW'; $O0OO_O_00='fissipedia2115984'; $O0_0O0OO=145; $OO00_OO0='G--BC-mD/F';
[email protected] [~]# cp -v ~/tmp/5.2.5/index.php public_html/index.php
/home/hc/tmp/5.2.5/index.php' ->public_html/index.php'
[email protected] [~]# head -n5 public_html/index.php
<?php $OOO000O='BEGINJ6Pn2HmH0e568SXnR6KRkmP5tQbh7KEW'; $O0OO_O_00='fissipedia2115984'; $O0_0O0OO=145; $OO00_OO0='G--BC-mD/F';
[email protected] [~]# crontab -l
no crontab for hc
I requested web host shut down access to this website so we can rule out carefully and heinously crafted browser URLs being the culprit. However the exact identical problem manifest with instantaneous reinfecting of malware. With no crontab and website fully down we were at a loss to explain how this might still be the fault of WordPress vunerabilities which is where our web host is pointing the finger and continues to do so.
This is just an example but we are getting infected daily irrespective of how up to date our WordPress sites are and what security plugins we add.
We do keep regular backups but problems like these happen daily but even though we can restore sites relatively quickly we are still fighting a losing battle. Is it possible to host PHP sites in 2020 or are the cyber vandals and hacking bots taking over ? Should we abandon PHP and move to something else and just admit defeat? We haven't had this problem with non PHP sites but we need special hosting to do that of course.
We had a look at the possibility of using flywheel and they look good but are over a thousand dollars a month. Are there any affordable web hosts which aren't such a target for malware?
