Sura: Al-A'raf (The Heights) Sura # 7 Verse # 143
And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You." [ Allah ] said, "You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers."

Sura Al-Mulk, Sura # 67 Verse # 19
Whenever I see a bird flying in the sky -- I just utter Al-Mulk because I don't know these verses by heart.

Definition of 'Poverty Trap'
Definition: Poverty trap is a spiraling mechanism which forces people to remain poor. It is so binding in itself that it doesn't allow the poor people to escape it. Poverty trap generally happens in developing and under-developing countries, and is caused by a lack of capital and credit to people.
Description: Poverty trap can be broken by planned investments in the economy and providing people the means to earn and be employed. A series of poverty alleviation programs can be enforced to raise individuals out of poverty by providing monetary aid for a period of time.
But if the plan fails, people will become dependent on such programs forever and may even go deeper down in the poverty spiral. However, poorer countries find this to be difficult, leading to the over-exploitation of natural resources and land.

Does intuitive have anything to do with a sixth sense?
Nowadays, we often see intuitive used in contexts pertaining to technology that is easy to understand. A smartphone with an “intuitive interface” is one that doesn't need much explaining; you can usually figure out how it works as soon as you fire it up.
The related noun intuition, meanwhile, describes a feeling of knowing or understanding something without evident rational thought and inference. A parent's intuition might tell him or her that a child is in danger, even if there is no logical reason to believe so.
So does intuitive have anything to do with what is often called the sixth sense? Well, the sixth sense is defined as "a keen intuitive power." It is synonymous with ESP or extrasensory perception. As its name implies, ESP describes a purported ability to know something that cannot be known by normal use of the senses.
The Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) used the term intuitive substage to refer to the stage of cognitive development when children have acquired a vast amount of knowledge but have not considered how they acquired it, so they accept it as true.
An interface is intuitive because it makes sense according to what we expect from how older interfaces are designed. A parent's intuitive sense of danger may still be prompted by subtle hints that things just aren't as they should be, even if the parent cannot identify exactly how. So while sixth sense refers to the ability to acquire knowledge from beyond the five senses, intuitive tends to apply more to knowledge absorbed through experience, even when not immediately recognized as such.

thespian
Did You Know?
Greek drama was originally entirely performed by choruses. According to tradition, the Greek dramatist Thespis, of the 6th century B.C., was the inventor of tragedy and the first to write roles for the individual actor as distinct from the chorus, and the actor's exchanges with the chorus were the first dramatic dialogue. Since Thespis himself performed the individual parts in his own plays, he was also the first true actor. Ever since choruses disappeared from drama, thespians have filled all the roles in plays. Thespian is also an adjective; thus, we can speak of "thespian ambitions" and "thespian traditions", for example.

Roy Sullivan: Cause of death
Suicide by self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Sullivan
Roy Sullivan: man hit seven times by lightning who survived
Roy Cleveland Sullivan (February 7, 1912 – September 28, 1983) was a United States park ranger in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. Between 1942 and 1977, Sullivan was hit by lightning on seven different occasions and survived all of them. For this reason, he gained a nickname "Human Lightning Conductor" and "Human Lightning Rod". Sullivan is recognized by Guinness World Records as the person struck by lightning more recorded times than any other human being.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Sullivan
Statistics:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Sullivan
Statistics:
The odds of being struck by lightning for a person over the period of 80 years have been roughly estimated as 1:10000.[13] If the lightning strikes were independent events, the probability of being hit seven times would be (1:10000)7 = 1:1028. These numbers do not quite apply to Sullivan, however, who by the nature of his work was more exposed to storms than the average person. Virginia, where he lived, averages 35 to 45 thunderstorm days per year, most of which fall in June, July, and August. Between 1959 and 2000 lightning killed 58 people and injured at least 238 people in Virginia. In the United States, 3239 people were killed and 13,057 injured by lightning in the same period. Most of those were males between 20 and 40 years old caught outdoors.

4. Dedicated Internet connexion plus static IP Address: Stalled. Reason: Bureaucratic red tape!
Nevertheless, the lab should be up and running -- within the next few weeks. I'm soloing -- am dirt-poor plus -- extremely erratic memory! :-) Rational explanations eh? :-)
Where're my Ouija board? I'd summon my long-lost poltergeist friend!
That's all for now.
Bye.

Let me turn rookies into Alpha Geeks...
My Ethical Hacking / Penetration Testing Lab
Hardware:
1. Laptop: vgc (very good condition)
2. Laptop: Oldie
3. Desktop: Oldie
I shy away from hardware so not giving you specs -- By the way, I'd mug up CompTIA A+ guide(s).
I'd sign up for a dedicated high-speed Internet connexion.
In the not too distant future: I'd also sign up for a dedicated IP address.
I'd also get a Hardware Firewall (dirt cheap) but sturdy -- should deflect attacks -- though I just adore those groovy Check Point's UTM appliances.
Software:
1. Windows Server 2012 (Evaluation copy)
2. Honeypots
3. BBS
What's your role?
You've to attack my systems viciously (no-holds-barred). This a real live Ethical Hacking exercise. Relentless -- knock-down-drag-out -- distributed attacks.

This is where I love to be
La isla bonita -- A girl sings this lullaby
Every moment is ecstasy
Where scorching sunray like embers of my memory
Her voice is divine and unheard symphony
That wreathes my soul like caged birds cacophony
Her eyes -- untold tales of prophecy
Sailors' quest for the island of Destiny
Emeralds and rubies -- premonition of Shangri–la -- She's my fantasy
She makes me believe in mirages -- that's some real sorcery
This is where I love to be
La isla bonita -- A girl sings this lullaby
She's the one -- White pearl and dark red ruby
My talisman -- I lost in the echoes of her lullaby.

Can firewalls deter us eh? ;-)
Hacking contests are appetizers...
Team up with fellow Ethical Hackers -- and protect start-ups and individuals particularly women -- from rogue hackers -- voluntarily. You'd easily engage script kiddies -- in the beginning -- and whenever you'd thwart 'em: Have some Pizza; And, of course--Order it online; Garlic bread too, please! :-)
Your war chests aren't your counterstrike / counteroffensive tools -- Your real -- most potent -- arsenal is your mind.
Liaise with White Hat Hackers across India and across the world.
Innate reverence for InfoSec Gurus.
Don't provoke me to come out of retirement -- My formidability is still uncontestable -- Okay, okay -- just kidding! -- Please don't hack my Linux box! :-)
And, no DDoS attacks, either! :-)
I'm fortyish -- retiree -- not even newbies dread me -- now.
Spread out your digital tentacles -- devour those slimy worms.
I'm from the old school -- I staunchly advocate social engineering -- snake charmers and con artists have been swindling us since the Dark Ages -- Charles Sobhraj is an avant-garde social engineer -- Three-tier security cordon: Digital fortress? Sob stories -- Human interest story -- Believe me: Machines are immune but you'd always NLP humans -- They're gullible -- Get your CEO's permission and evaluate your org's security -- You'd be able to breach it.
I'd give you a hint: Order a veggie Pizza for your admin -- And, some PlayStation games for his kid. :-)
That's all for now.

Indian rope-trick--er--ahem--I mean Indian hack-trick! :-)
Here's your chance to hack with legal immunity -- My objective is multipronged:
#1. You and I: Both of us would be learning the nitty-gritty of real-life Ethical Hacking.
#2. This sort of setup would keep you off of illegalities -- I mean like hacking into other networks and all that.
There's no fee -- but you'd always buy me a Pizza! :-) (I abhor the practice of vegetarianism!)
No early-bird offers--either.
My goal is to give you a free of charge platform / environment with plenty of elbow room to hone your hacking skills.
And, there're no hunting trophies.
Dust off your consoles -- vie for root.
Girls: Expect a red-carpet welcome -- Let the boys accuse me of unabashed favoritism -- Lenient policies! :-) If you happen to spot a gray-haired guy -- hunchbacked -- in his early forties -- wearing extremely sober suspenders -- scuffling to cross the street -- you'd safely approach him -- with absolutely no caution (put that pepper spray in your clutch bag, please!) -- that's me! :-)

My comments: Desmond Morris
I've whopping interest in anthropology -- But I don't subscribe to the idea / theory of evolution.
I respect him as an individual and his commendable lifelong work.
Desmond Morris and I
I think over the years -- I've become a sort of social scientist like Desmond Morris.
Definition of social science
1 : a branch of science that deals with the institutions and functioning of human society and with the interpersonal relationships of individuals as members of society
2 : a science (such as economics or political science) dealing with a particular phase or aspect of human society

Definition of social psychology
: the study of the manner in which the personality, attitudes, motivations, and behavior of the individual influence and are influenced by social groups

My comments: Cannibals In Uganda
It hurts when people call me names.
Look around you.
Stop calling me names!
Look around you.
Cannibals In Uganda
Over the last year, there have been increasing reports of cannibalism in Uganda. Reports of cannibalism have been documented since at least 2011, when Dr. Heike Behrend, a professor at the University of Cologne, wrote a book on the practice, but the issue received a renewed focus after a particularly grisly incident in March.
Vocativ recently sent Brooklyn-based filmmaker Matthew Goldman to Uganda to check out the situation.
In Uganda, Goldman met Baboola, a self-professed cannibal, who told him about the situation in Uganda and why he eats human flesh.
Cannibalism has been on the rise in the country in recent years. A pregnant woman and her child were supposedly killed and eaten in Rakai, a district in central Uganda, in March. 14 people have been arrested in connection with the incident.
The reports of cannibalism have not gone over well. Ugandans have been keeping to a strict curfew at night to avoid supposed cannibals and, in recent months, people have been destroying the homes and businesses of those suspected of cannibalism.
Joseph Kony, the leader of the much-maligned Lord's Resistance Army, has been accused of cannibalism. There have been reports that he makes soldiers drink the blood of enemies.
Baboola told Goldman that he was introduced to cannibalism by a relative. The relative told Baboola that the meat was "good" and that he should eat it.
Baboola says that he only eats people that are already dead, as opposed to to killing people. He says that the best tasting meat are people that have just died.
Baboola has mostly given up the trade, though he "cheats" on special occasions.

Deep Raag and Pyrokinesis -- Our Gurus and ancestors Versus atheistical science / scientists
Raga Deep: Our Gurus and ancestors have been telling us since ages that when this Raga is sung -- oil lamps will light up. For most of us it seems impossible. Today I stumbled upon this:
Pyrokinesis is the purported psychic ability allowing a person to create and control fire with the mind.
This post is not to appease any group of people -- I think skeptics should look into this phenomenon.
We let science override our religious beliefs. We're more inclined to accept the scientific conclusions -- tsk, tsk!

Long-distance relationship (LDR) or long-distance romantic relationship (LDRR)
A long-distance relationship (LDR) (or long-distance romantic relationship (LDRR) is an intimate relationship between partners who are geographically separated from one another. Partners in LDRs face geographic separation and lack of face-to-face contact. LDRs are particularly prevalent among college students- constituting 25% to 50% of all relationships.[1] Even though scholars have reported a significant number of LDRs in undergraduate populations, long-distance relationships continue to be an understudied phenomenon.

Some du’aa’s and remedies for one who suffers from pain in his body
It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) that some of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to one of the Arab tribes. They asked them for hospitality but they refused to welcome them. Whilst they were like that, the chief of that tribe was stung. They said: ‘Do you have any remedy or someone who can recite ruqyah?’ They said: ‘You did not offer us hospitality, so we will not do anything until you give us something in return.’ Then they agreed upon a flock of sheep. Then he started to recite the Essence of the Qur’aan – i.e., Soorat al-Faatihah – and he collected his saliva and spat at him (at the site of the injury), and he recovered. The sheep were brought and they (the companions) said: We will not take them until we ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). So they asked him and he smiled and said: “How did you know that it is a ruqyah? Take them and give me a share of them.”

In the hadeeth in as-Saheehayn from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: … (This went on) until the truth came to him when he was in the cave of Hiraa’. The angel came and said, “Read (or recite)!” He (the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)) said: “I said: ‘I am not a reader.’ Then he took hold of me and squeezed me until I could not bear it any more, then he released me and said, ‘Read!’ I said, ‘I am not a reader.’ He took hold of me and squeezed me a second time until I could not bear it any more, then he released me and said, ‘Read!’ I said, ‘I am not a reader.’ He took hold of me and squeezed me a third time until I could not bear it any more, then he released me and said: ‘Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists) … He has taught man that which he knew not.’ [al-‘Alaq 96:1-5].”
