Lifetime movie ‘An Amish Sin’ aims to shed light on child sexual abuse victims: ‘There’s always hope’

Posted on 24/05/2023

Joanna Yoder is hopeful that a new Lifetime film will raise awareness on a case she’s been trying to spotlight for years.

On Saturday, the network is airing a scripted drama titled “An Amish Sin,” a film in which she served as a consultant. The movie, inspired by true stories, tells the story of an Amish teen who refuses to marry the man who abused her as a child. She goes to escape her insular community and makes her way to a neighboring city. The film stars Dylan Ratzlaff, Kellie Martin and Rukiya Bernard.

“I grew up Mennonite, which is very similar to the Amish,” Yoder explained to Fox News Digital. “… I was 48 years old when I finally got the courage to go to law enforcement and report the crimes that had happened to me when I was a child. It took me years to get to a place where I felt like I was able to do that. I just wasn’t ready or able [to do it before]. It took me a while to heal from my trauma and the things that had happened. But now, I feel like I have a voice. So I wanted to

Network outage cancels classes Monday in Crown Point schools

Posted on 20/05/2023

A possible computer breach and network outage prompted the cancellation of classes Monday for students in the Crown Point Community School Corp. as work continued to restore the network.

Parents and students will receive an update on the progress Monday afternoon.

Teachers and other staff members were to report to their schools on Monday. Students shouldn’t report to school and it’s not considered an e-learning day, officials said in a letter from Superintendent Todd Terrill on the district’s website.

Childcare will be available at Solon Robinson and Jerry Ross elementaries.

Terrill said the network wasn’t operating properly Nov. 21 and after the district brought in a cybersecurity firm, “we confirmed that the CPCSC network may have been compromised.”

It’s unclear whether personal information was accessed. Officials say when there’s a determination from the cybersecurity firm, the results will be shared with staff and families.

“We know this is frustrating to not have an answer for this, and we apologize that we cannot provide one at this time,” Terrill said.

The district’s secure entry system is working and all outside doors will remain locked during the school day with visitor entry only at the front entrances.

Officials offered no timeline for

THORChain network halted following software bug

Posted on 17/05/2023

Cross-chain exchange and proof-of-bond network THORChain was halted earlier today as the result of a bug causing “non-determinism between individual nodes.”

At around 8 pm UTC, the THORChain team initially tweeted that developers were aware of a chain outage and were working to find the root cause of the issue.

Roughly four hours later, the team posted a further update noting that “consensus halts in a distributed state machine are from sources of non-determinism between individual nodes and prevent the ledger from becoming corrupted.”

It stated that the next steps were to find the source of the non-determinism, release an update, and restart the state machine, and while noting that step one was close, there have been no updates since, suggesting the developers are dealing with a fair bit of a headache.

According to THORChain explorer, the network still appears to be halted at the time of writing. However, the token swapping platform

Test Your Skills With the Advent of Code 2022

Posted on 15/05/2023

What’s behind door number one? A coding challenge, of course!


As the end of the year draws night, programmers’ thoughts turn to the Advent of Code. Running since 2015, the site celebrates December holidays and coding, with a collection of daily challenges.


How Does it Work?

The Advent of Code site is text-heavy, with green links and an overall presentation that mimics a text editor or terminal session.

Every day, from the 1st of December until the 25th, a new challenge becomes available. Each challenge is clearly described, with examples and any relevant input files available for download. There are two tasks per challenge.

Each task will ask you to enter a final answer, which will be something your program should have calculated. You can use any language you want to complete the task. In theory, you can work out some solutions by hand, but this will usually be laborious—and where’s the fun in that, anyway?

How Do You Take Part?

  1. Start by logging into adventofcode.com, using any of the OAuth services that the site supports. The most obvious service to use is GitHub, the collaborative open-source platform. You can also use an account from Google, Twitter,
