Today, CATCHPLAY continues to look into investment and co-production opportunities internationally and in Asia targeting particularly Chinese-speaking territories and South East Asia following our recent expansion footprints.ĬATCHPLAY started placing significant emphasis on the development of digital movie content years before the others did in Taiwan. In the same year, CATCHPLAY also provided financing and local production support to director Martin Scorsese’s passion project Silence, making it the first international production filmed entirely in Taiwan. CATCHPLAY and partners also control exclusive distribution rights to these films in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and Macau, with The Revenant generating outstanding box office results from these territories in 2016. ![]() In early 2015, we closed a partnership deal to invest in New Regency’s three enthralling titles, namely The Revenant, Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell, marking the first investment of a Taiwanese company in major Hollywood productions. Both investments generated considerable box office performance in Taiwan and China respectively. In the same year, we invested in the locally produced film, Paradise in Service and co-produced 20 Once Again with CJ Entertainment for the Chinese market. In 2014, in addition to distributing the movies CATCHPLAY loves, we embarked in earnest co-production and investment projects, venturing into content creation.

![]() The Muslim forces that defeated the Russians were called "Mujahideen". On 15th February 1989, the last Soviet troops withdrew from Afghanistan a decade after the initial invasion. More about the final big development in both the Muslim world, and in Bin Laden's life, can be found in the next timeline item - the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Not only this, but the Iranian revolution, which installed the fundamentalist Khomeini regime in Tehran, was a source of inspiration for many extremists - even though the regime in Iran were Shia extremists rather than Sunni Muslim extremists. ![]() Many extremists were incensed by the signing of the Camp David accords, the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, seeing it as a betrayal of the Arab world's solidarity against Israel. While a young man at University, Bin Laden also witnessed a number of key events which would heavily influence the Muslim World. Bin Laden soon followed Azzam to the conflict in Afghanistan. Azzam is sometimes known as "the father of the modern global Jihad" for his role in facilitating fighter networks of Mujahideen travelling to Afghanistan to fight against the Soviets. Sadly, we are still a long way from an enlightened public.In the late 1970s, Osama bin Laden attended university at Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.Īs a student, Bin Laden came into contact with Abdullah Azzam, who was teaching at the University. One lesson of the past 20 years is the imperative of an informed public. Even more staggering, 82% believed Saddam provided assistance to Osama bin Laden. ![]() A Washington Post poll conducted two years after 9/11 dramatically illustrated the story: 69% of Americans at the time believed Saddam Hussein was “personally” involved in the 9/11 attack. Despite the intelligence community’s unequivocal conclusion that Iraq had nothing to do with either 9/11 or al-Qaida, the administration let Americans believe the contrary.Ĭonsequently, the United States went to war in Iraq on a false pretense that it was somehow avenging those killed by al-Qaida. The Bush administration was eager to mobilize the anguish of the 9/11 attack to support the war. The United States did go to war with Iraq soon enough. He argued that the Palestinian conflict was the driving force behind al-Qaida’s popularity and legitimacy. The king pressed the president to take action to restart Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. On September 28, Bush received Jordan’s King Abdullah. The Saudis pressed Bush to come out publicly in support of a Palestinian state as he had privately promised Crown Prince Abdullah Al Saud. The Saudis were alarmed that attacking Iraq would only benefit Iran and set in motion severe destabilizing repercussions across the region. Indeed their history was of being antagonists.Īfterward, Bandar told me privately that the Saudis were very worried about where Bush’s obsession with Iraq was going. He told Bush that the Saudis had no evidence of any collaboration between Osama bin Laden and Iraq. His questions to Bandar show his bias.” Bandar was visibly perplexed. My note says the president “clearly thinks Iraq must be behind this. Vice President Richard Cheney and Rice were there as well. The meeting took place on the Truman Balcony. On September 18, a week after 9/11, Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan came to the White House to see Bush. ![]() Of course, there was none, which British intelligence knew. He pressed Bush for evidence of Iraq’s connection to the 9/11 attack and to al-Qaida. Bush immediately said he was planning to “hit” Iraq soon. On September 14, I was with Bush when he had his first phone call after 9/11 with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Where words fail music can open a next dimension.What’s the difference between a cellar and a basement? Its not an abstract approach rather than a very subjective interpretation. Gate Zero made his own experiences which he shares with us musically. And for some people a lounge is a relaxing area, other don't linger there, just catching some fragments of good old jazz music. A kitchen may be a warm place to take a good breakfast or to do the annoying dishes. Some people are afraid of dark cellars which let others remember amorous tête-a-têtes. But we make our experiences with rooms and within rooms and in conjunction we bear certain emotions in remembrance. A room is always a room to do something within - per se it can't be useless. Mostly every day we use rooms for different purposes as described above. Well, it seems that words cannot fix all the different impressions and emotions we have when we think of real rooms. or a bar area that provides live entertainment, usually free or for a minimum drink purchase, frequently located in a hotel or casino. Room 6: The term lounge can refer to a public waiting area, provided with seating, as in a hotel or airport. In many homes, the living room is reserved for more formal and quiet entertaining while a separate recreation room or family room is reserved for more casual activities. Room 5: Living room is a room for entertaining guests, reading, watching TV or other activities. Room 4: A winter garden is a conservatory with flowers that blossom in the winter. Sometimes, it is the most comforting room in a house, where family and visitors tend to congregate. Although the main function of a kitchen is cooking, it can be the center of other activities as well. Room 3: A kitchen is a room used for food preparation. Room 2: In the Star Trek fictional universe, the holodeck is a virtual reality facility, generally on starships and starbases. A cellar is intended to remain at a constant cool (not freezing) temperature all year round. Room 1: A cellar is a type of basement, primarily used for the storage of food and drink (especially wine) for use throughout the year. Hmmm, lets go in depth and find out the official six descriptions. A room may have any number of doors and windows regulating light, airflow and access to the room.

The -T (timing template) option allows us to specify a value from 0 to 5. The -A (aggressive scan) option forces nmap to use operating system detection, version detection, script scanning, and traceroute detection. We can use nmap more aggressively to try to winkle more information out of the device. The device with IP Address 192.168.4.11 had an unknown manufacturer and a lot of ports open. RELATED: How to Turn a Raspberry Pi into a Low-Power Network Storage Device Unknown Device With Many Open Ports It uses Samba so that I can connect to it from any computer on my network. This makes sense I use that particular Pi as a sort of mini-Network Attached Storage device (NAS). SMB is a means of sharing folders and files across a network. Samba is a free software implementation of Microsoft’s Server Message Block protocol (SMB). We’ve Lined Up The Suspects Let’s Make Them Talkĭevice 192.168.4.10 is a Raspberry Pi that has port 445 open, which is described as “microsoft-ds.” A quick bit of Internet searching reveals that port 445 is usually associated with Samba. The more doors and windows you have, the more potential points of entry a burglar has. The more ports a device has open, the more chances a cybercriminal has of getting into it-if it is exposed directly to the Internet that is. I’ve never heard of them, and the device has a lot of ports open, so we’ll be looking into that. Does my printer incorporate a website?ĭevice 192.168.4.31 is reportedly manufactured by a company called Elitegroup Computer Systems. This port is reserved for website traffic. What caught my eye was the HTTP port 80 being present and open. But definitely, there should be more than one showing up.ĭevice 192.168.4.22 was identified earlier as a Samsung printer, which is verified here by the tag that says “printer”. How many are connected to the network will always vary because they’re continually swapped in and out of duty as they get re-imaged and re-purposed. Liteon technology and Elitegroup Computer systems, for example. There are several devices with names that don’t mean anything to me all. It allows them to pester me at home more easily, so I’m well aware of that device. The Avaya device is a Voice Over IP phone that provides me with an extension on the telephone system at head office. There’s a couple of devices listed as manufactured by Dell. The only Samsung device I have is a laser printer, so that narrows that one down. The Amazon Technologies device will be my Echo Dot. Raspberry Pi Foundation is self-explanatory. What some of these devices are is clear to me. These are the ones we need to investigate further. When you look through your results, you will likely see devices that you recognize. It can deduce a lot about the device it is probing by judging and interpreting the type of responses it gets. It works by sending various network messages to the IP addresses in the range we’re going to provide it with it. RELATED: How Do IP Addresses Work? Get Started with nmap Happily, nmap works with that notation, so we have what we need to start to use nmap. And because the largest number you can hold in an 8-bit binary number is 255, the IP address range for this network will be 192.168.4.0 through to 192.168.4.255.Īll of that is encapsulated in the “/24”. This subnet mask informs the hardware that the first three numbers of the IP address will identify the network and the last part of the IP address identifies the individual devices. The subnet mask and the IP address are used to indicate which part of the IP address identifies the network, and which part identifies the device. The “/24” means that there are three consecutive sets of eight 1’s in the subnet mask. The IP address of this computer is “192.168.4.25”. In the bottom section of the output, you will find your ip address. ![]() In this guide, we’ll take a look at five of those options. You can also use MPC Beats as a plugin in another DAW.
