Russian Man Sentenced for Providing ‘Bulletproof Hosting’ for Cybercriminals | OPA | Department of Justice

Grichishkin also helped clients evade detection by law enforcement and continue their crimes uninterrupted by monitoring sites used to blocklist technical infrastructure used for crime, moving “flagged” content to new infrastructure, and registering all such infrastructure under false or stolen identities. On June 28 and Oct. 20, respectively, Chief Judge Hood sentenced two of Grichishkin’s co-conspirators, Pavel Stassi, 30, of Estonia, to 24 months in prison and Aleksandr Skorodumov, 33, of Lithuania, to 48 months in prison for their roles in the scheme…

128 LA Fire Department Employees Are Being Sent Home For Defying City’s Vaccination Mandate | LAist

Los Angeles Fire Department employees who are unvaccinated, haven’t applied for an exemption, and refuse regular testing are being taken off duty. So far, that’s at least 128 employees who are mostly firefighters. They can use banked vacation time, but they will not get a salary. LAFD Chief Ralph Terrazas says continued refusal to comply could result in termination. But there are people to fill the openings, including fire academy graduates. In a memo to staff, Terrazas says some staffers are encouraging colleagues “to be insubordinate when they are notified of their off duty status.” “You can have an opinion as long as you do it off duty. But on duty, you’re working, and you are a public servant,” Terrazas wrote. “And I expect you to carry out our mission to protect the lives and property of the people of Los Angeles.” The department is investigating an incident during which a firefighter allegedly wiped himself with a notice about the vaccination mandate. Some firefighters are suing over it. Currently, 82% of LAFD employees are vaccinated, according to Terrazas.

Y así llegó, puntual, el último día de noviembre de 2021, con sus maletas y sus cuadernos de anotaciones, silencioso e indiferente, como se le vio al despedir a octubre. Vino una madrugada. Al despertar la gente de sus sueños, ya era noviembre, y pronto, al dormir, partió no sé a dónde. No lleva apegos ni recuerdos porque le resulta imposible quedarse. Simplemente, es el nombre que reciben treinta días al año. Se van juntos. Son inseparables. No les es permitido vagar en el mundo. Y no es que al finalizar noviembre haya envejecido el año. Hay que entender que solo se trata de números atrapados en sus casillas. Siguen un orden, un motivo, un destino. Quienes envejecen son las personas, los animales, las plantas, las cosas. Y así llegó diciembre, también, con exactitud, acompañado de sus 31 días…

Uber Hasselback Caprese Salad

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Food Whisperer: Uber Hasselback Caprese Salad! Want to do something fancy-schmancy? Take ordinary garden Roma tomatoes (the oval kind) and cut them in such a way that they fan out a little bit like an accordion. Then, using your fingers, tuck slices of cheese and fresh herbs in between. It’s so simple, yet looks incredibly delish as a side salad. This is why we like food so much. It becomes a dining experience versus chowing down.

UBER HASSELBACK CAPRESE SALAD

3 Roma tomatoes

3 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

13-16 fresh basil leaves
