**What is the Placebo Effect** \- does it really exist? And if so\, how does it operate? Find out all this and more at our May Skeptics in the Pub, when Dr Sue Ieraci will explore one of the most mythologised and misunderstood effects in medicine. Dr Sue is an emergency physician who uses social media to counter health misinformation. She has been an active member of Stop the AVN and Friends of Science in Medicine. **After the presentation:** Following the presentation and question time, we will hand the microphone over to one audience member for a 5 minute chat on a sceptical topic of their choice. It can be a news item, your own sceptical "special subject" or an encounter with everyday scepticism. If you're interested in sharing something with your fellow pubbers, contact us before the talk. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- On the first Thursday of each month, Australian Skeptics and friends get together for Skeptics in the Pub. People generally start arriving at around 6pm after work. The talk begins at 7pm and lasts for about 30 minutes. The night finishes when the last person leaves. Enjoy a meal and a drink accompanied by lively discussion, free spoon bending lessons and the company of other sceptics, as we cover a variety of interesting topics.

"Aerithoria is a world of floating islands, each with its own unique culture and magic. Aerithoria is a realm filled with floating mountains, cascading waterfalls, and fantastical creatures that soar through the skies. It's a place where the concept of gravity is different, and adventurers often use airships and winged mounts to navigate the breathtaking landscapes." "In Aerithoria, a sinister force known as the Celestial Eclipse has awakened. Led by the enigmatic Dark Seraph, this group seeks to steal the legendary Astral Compass, a mystical artifact that can control the movement of the floating islands. With the Astral Compass in their possession, they intend to plunge the entire realm into chaos, disrupting the delicate balance of Aerithoria." "Our new hero, a skilled cartographer named Kaelin Skystrider, becomes the chosen one to safeguard the Astral Compass and thwart the Celestial Eclipse's nefarious plans. Kaelin possesses a unique talent for mapmaking and navigation, allowing him to understand the hidden connections between the floating islands. Armed with enchanted maps and an airship named the "Zephyr Runner," Kaelin embarks on his quest." "Kaelin's companions include: 1. Seraphina Stormwing, a winged elf with the ability to command the winds and navigate the skies with unparalleled grace. 2. Flint Ironforge, a gnome tinkerer and inventor, who equips Kaelin's airship with ingenious contraptions. 3. Lyria Sunshard, a seer from the island of Sylvaria, who can glimpse into the future and decipher cryptic visions. 4. Draven Emberclaw, a dragonkin warrior with fire-breathing abilities and a deep connection to the ancient dragons of Aerithoria." "Together, they form the Fellowship of the Astral Compass." There are two CTF flags in this Intermediate (Medium) level Web CTF challenge. Your challenge is to hack the web application Aethoria and find the two flags. Skills needed include: 1. Understanding Python code and web browser technologies including JavaScript. 2. Identifying Web Application Vulnerabilities from Source Code 3. Writing an Exploit that will obtain the first flag 4.
