  1. If y'all are aware I recently completed the CompTIA, Inc. #Network+ Exam and obtained the #CompTIA #CIOS (#Information #Technology #Operations #Specialist). This was all after finishing some #Bug #Bounty #Hunting on #YesWeHack YesWeHack for GovTech (Government Technology Agency of Singapore) and earned two badges that I posted to my #LinkedIn around last year. At the moment, I recently finished my Hackviser #CAPT (#Certified #Associate #Penetration #Tester). Wish me success on the #Hackviser #CWSE (#Certified #Web #Security #Expert) as well, and I hope all goes well with this one too. Not to forget, I'm also still continuing #University with University of the People as well and continuing my #Security+ as well, as I continue working at the same time. Planning to go on some bug hunts sometime soon as well.

  11. 1/2 US Protest Law Tracker - Updates to #Federal #Protest Laws introduced in 2025.

    Latest updates: Jun. 10, 2025 (US Federal)

    Providing for deportation of non-citizens who commit protest-related offenses

    Would cancel the visa of any individual convicted of protest-related crimes and provide for the individual’s deportation within 60 days. Under the bill, individuals convicted of any “crime (i) related to [their] conduct at and during the course of a protest; (ii) involving the defacement, vandalism, or destruction of Federal property; or (iii) involving the intentional obstruction of any highway, road, bridge, or tunnel” would be deportable. The bill requires that such individuals’ visas be “immediately” cancelled and the individuals removed from the US within 60 days. If enacted, a non-citizen convicted of even a nonviolent misdemeanor “related to” a protest, such as trespass or disorderly conduct, could face deportation. The bill’s sponsor cited protests around immigration raids in #LosAngeles as the impetus for his bill.
    (Full text of Bill: cotton.senate.gov/imo/media/do)
    Status: pending
    Introduced 10 Jun 2025.
    Issue(s): Traffic Interference

    Heightened penalties for "#riot" offenses

    Would amend the federal #AntiRioting law to raise the maximum penalty to ten years in prison, instead of five, for participating in or inciting a “riot,” or aiding or abetting someone to do so. The federal definition of “riot” is broad, requiring only a “public disturbance” where one individual in a group commits violence. Under the bill, someone who committed or abetted an “act of violence” during the commission of a “riot” offense would face a minimum one-year sentence, while an individual who assaulted a law enforcement officer would face a sentence of at least one year and up to life in prison. Federal law defines “act of violence” broadly to include using force against #property—or just attempting or threatening to use such force. As such, if enacted, the bill could result in steep criminal penalties for protesters who do not actually engage in violence or destructive conduct. The bill’s sponsor cited protests around immigration raids in Los Angeles as the impetus for his bill.

    HR 2272: Blocking #FinancialAid to students who commit a "riot"-related offense

    Would bar federal financial assistance and loan forgiveness for any student convicted of a crime in connection with a “riot.” The bar would apply to students convicted of “rioting” or “a) inciting a riot; b) organizing, promoting, encouraging, participating in, or carrying on a riot; c) committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or d) aiding or abetting any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot.” Many states define “riot” broadly enough to cover peaceful protest activity; many also have broad laws criminalizing “incitement to riot” that cover protected expression. The bill would bar financial aid and #LoanForgiveness for students convicted under such provisions. As written, the bill would also bar financial aid and loan forgiveness to students convicted of any offense related to “#organizing, #promoting, encouraging” a riot, or “aiding and abetting” incitement or participation in a riot, which could cover an even wider range of expressive conduct, from sharing a social media post to cheering on demonstrators in a protest that was deemed a “riot.”

    #HR2273: Providing for visa revocation and deportation of #noncitizens who commit a "riot"-related offense

    Would require the Secretary of State to revoke the visa of and make deportable a noncitizen #student, #scholar, #teacher, or #specialist convicted of a crime in connection with a “riot.” Under the bill, individuals in the US on an F-1, J-1, or M-1 visa would have their visas revoked and would be deportable if they were convicted of “rioting” or “a) inciting a riot; b) organizing, promoting, encouraging, participating in, or carrying on a riot; c) committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or d) aiding or abetting any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot.” Many states define “riot” broadly enough to cover peaceful protest activity; many also have broad laws criminalizing “incitement to riot” that cover protected expression. The bill would provide for the deportation of foreign students, scholars, and others convicted under such provisions. As written, the bill would also provide for their deportation if convicted of any offense related to “organizing, promoting, encouraging” a riot, or “aiding and abetting” incitement or participation in a riot, which could cover an even wider range of expressive conduct, from sharing a #SocialMediaPost to cheering on #demonstrators in a protest that was deemed a “riot.”

    #S1017: New federal criminal penalties for protests near #pipelines

    Would create a new federal #felony offense that could apply to protests of planned or operational pipelines. The bill would broadly criminalize under federal law “knowingly and willfully” “#vandalizing, tampering with, disrupting the operation or construction of, or preventing the operation or construction of” a gas pipeline. A range of peaceful activities could be deemed “disrupting… the construction of” a pipeline, from a rally that obstructs a road used by construction equipment, to a #lawsuit challenging a pipeline’s #permit or# zoning approval. The bill does not define “disrupt,” such that even a brief delay would seemingly be covered. Further, the underlying law provides that any "attempt" or "conspiracy" to commit the offense would be punished the same as actual commission. As such, individuals as well as organizations that engage in the planning or facilitation of a protest that is deemed to “disrupt” pipeline construction could be covered. The offense would be punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 for an individual, or $500,000 for an organization.

A range of peaceful activities could be deemed “disrupting… the construction of” a pipeline, from a rally that obstructs a road used by construction equipment, to a #lawsuit challenging a pipeline’s #permit or# zoning approval. The bill does not define “disrupt,” such that even a brief delay would seemingly be covered. Further, the underlying law provides that any "attempt" or "conspiracy" to commit the offense would be punished the same as actual commission. As such, individuals as well as organizations that engage in the planning or facilitation of a protest that is deemed to “disrupt” pipeline construction could be covered. The offense would be punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 for an individual, or $500,000 for an organization.

  15. 1/2 US Protest Law Tracker - Updates to #Federal #Protest Laws introduced in 2025.

    Latest updates: Jun. 10, 2025 (US Federal)

    Providing for deportation of non-citizens who commit protest-related offenses

    Would cancel the visa of any individual convicted of protest-related crimes and provide for the individual’s deportation within 60 days. Under the bill, individuals convicted of any “crime (i) related to [their] conduct at and during the course of a protest; (ii) involving the defacement, vandalism, or destruction of Federal property; or (iii) involving the intentional obstruction of any highway, road, bridge, or tunnel” would be deportable. The bill requires that such individuals’ visas be “immediately” cancelled and the individuals removed from the US within 60 days. If enacted, a non-citizen convicted of even a nonviolent misdemeanor “related to” a protest, such as trespass or disorderly conduct, could face deportation. The bill’s sponsor cited protests around immigration raids in #LosAngeles as the impetus for his bill.

    Heightened penalties for "#riot" offenses

    Would amend the federal #AntiRioting law to raise the maximum penalty to ten years in prison, instead of five, for participating in or inciting a “riot,” or aiding or abetting someone to do so. The federal definition of “riot” is broad, requiring only a “public disturbance” where one individual in a group commits violence. Under the bill, someone who committed or abetted an “act of violence” during the commission of a “riot” offense would face a minimum one-year sentence, while an individual who assaulted a law enforcement officer would face a sentence of at least one year and up to life in prison. Federal law defines “act of violence” broadly to include using force against #property—or just attempting or threatening to use such force. As such, if enacted, the bill could result in steep criminal penalties for protesters who do not actually engage in violence or destructive conduct. The bill’s sponsor cited protests around immigration raids in Los Angeles as the impetus for his bill.

    HR 2272: Blocking #FinancialAid to students who commit a "riot"-related offense

    Would bar federal financial assistance and loan forgiveness for any student convicted of a crime in connection with a “riot.” The bar would apply to students convicted of “rioting” or “a) inciting a riot; b) organizing, promoting, encouraging, participating in, or carrying on a riot; c) committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or d) aiding or abetting any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot.” Many states define “riot” broadly enough to cover peaceful protest activity; many also have broad laws criminalizing “incitement to riot” that cover protected expression. The bill would bar financial aid and #LoanForgiveness for students convicted under such provisions. As written, the bill would also bar financial aid and loan forgiveness to students convicted of any offense related to “#organizing, #promoting, encouraging” a riot, or “aiding and abetting” incitement or participation in a riot, which could cover an even wider range of expressive conduct, from sharing a social media post to cheering on demonstrators in a protest that was deemed a “riot.”

    #HR2273: Providing for visa revocation and deportation of #noncitizens who commit a "riot"-related offense

    Would require the Secretary of State to revoke the visa of and make deportable a noncitizen #student, #scholar, #teacher, or #specialist convicted of a crime in connection with a “riot.” Under the bill, individuals in the US on an F-1, J-1, or M-1 visa would have their visas revoked and would be deportable if they were convicted of “rioting” or “a) inciting a riot; b) organizing, promoting, encouraging, participating in, or carrying on a riot; c) committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or d) aiding or abetting any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot.” Many states define “riot” broadly enough to cover peaceful protest activity; many also have broad laws criminalizing “incitement to riot” that cover protected expression. The bill would provide for the deportation of foreign students, scholars, and others convicted under such provisions. As written, the bill would also provide for their deportation if convicted of any offense related to “organizing, promoting, encouraging” a riot, or “aiding and abetting” incitement or participation in a riot, which could cover an even wider range of expressive conduct, from sharing a #SocialMediaPost to cheering on #demonstrators in a protest that was deemed a “riot.”

    Would create a new federal #felony offense that could apply to protests of planned or operational pipelines.

  16. New episode! ✨

    Conservation may be the profession but within it are many, many specialisms: how is anyone supposed to choose?! 🤔

    Liz, Solange and Jenny have a chat about how they picked their specialisms and give some tips on how people can find theirs if they're struggling to choose.

  17. Conditions on Fishing Vessels can be rather gross. Fish debris falls in the bilge, the accumulation of sloshing grey water, with everything imaginable in it.
    It stinks really bad. That rotten fish small and grey water bounced up to splash the coupling, I'd wait for a roll, to reach the bolts on the other side, and the smell made me ill, bouncing caused my eyes to blur out of focus, and I knew it was going to happen.

  18. Before I was transported over, knowing we could be there several hours, I filled my pocket with Chocolate Milk boxes.

    Here's what I found: The shaft, directly coupled to the transmission, and generator for electrical power, had seized.
    We were already cabled to them, towing slightly. I reckoned I had about 2 hrs work to uncouple, so the generator could be run, & freewheel the shaft reducing drag & increasing towing speed

  19. We came to a stop, sent a zodiac over to assess and find out why they weren't communicating. In the video, they mention THE BUFFER, the senior Bosn who went to tie a towing hawser to them, and bring them under tow. A Navy ship goes too fast to tow a tiny Fishing vessel, so we were delayed greatly .

    Captain called up senior specialists. Sent them to the flailing boat by Zodiac, over moderate seas, to assess & report back.

  20. In the aforementioned video, while leaving the Grand Banks, heading to St John's Newfoundland, the Navy ship, HMCS Ottawa stumbled upon a floundering Fishing Boat.

    They might have been lost forever, had we not discovered them by accident.
    They had lost power. Once the shaft stopped turning, electricity was lost too , and radio power for distress calls.

  21. New balance stretching record attained;
    LEFT leg 3 mins 15 secs 🏆,
    RIGHT leg came in 2nd place 😆 just over 2 min.
    I'll work on my right balance more. I still can't believe that I just fall over, if my eyes close. 😖

  22. #LetterOfTheWeek
    Why people buy IPs? It’s a #longwait to see a specialist otherwise
    "It’s not uncommon to wait up to 6mths to see a #specialist in a #publichospital when #referred by a #polyclinic .. If you have an Integrated Shield Plan (IP), you can choose & book a specialist.. To attract more to use only the #MediShield Life #insurance without IP coverage, the🇸🇬 #Ministry of #Health should #review & improve the #waiting time for #subsidised #patients to see specialists"

  23. @amgine @serge

    Parts of the system that are terrible? How about:

    1. #Waiting to see a #specialist ... for 7 years. Moved to a different health region before I got to the top of the #waitlist.
    2. A third of Canadians do not have, and cannot find, a primary care #physician.
    3. "Necessary" surgeries delayed by years; elective #surgeries not even being booked.
    4. Women finding breast lumps and waiting a year or more just to see a specialist to see if it's #cancer.

    It goes on...
