School and Marriage
"Fun" Fact
: Mirror writing
Who am I ?
What is "your" name ?
My name is
Leonardo da Vinci.
Because the town I came from was called
, I was known as Leonardo da Vinci which means
Leonardo from Vinci.
When and where were you born ?
I was born on
April 15, 1452
in the Italian town of Vinci.
What were you interested in as a child?
As a child, I was interested in the
natural world and
Did you win any awards, honors, or were you recognized for anything ?
Yes. When I was alive, I did not win any award, but I was honored and recognized for doing
fine art
. However, I was also labeled as an artist that never finished what he started. (I completed only
ten paintings
throughout my life.)
When my sketchbooks, filled with my ideas for inventions, observations about nature and anatomy, were found centuries after my death, I got recognized as an
inventor and scientist
. Of course, I have been recognized as a
great artist
Awards and Honors
Did you live through any obstacles or tragedies in your life ?
Yes. Since my parents were never married each other, I could not attend a university. Therefore, I could not have a job I wanted. I could not be a lawyer and businessman like my father, or a doctor. Luckily, I had an amazing talent for drawing and I could work in one of the art studios in Florence. Another tragedy in my life is that my parents
did not love me
and didn't want to take care of me, so I had to live with my very old grandparents who
did not love me either
Are you still alive, or did you die ?
I died on
May 2, 1519
, at the age of
Tragedies and Death
What did you invent, or how did you become famous ?
Did you go to school, and did you attend college
I didn't go to any school including college because I was
. Since I was born to parents who were not married to each other I was not allowed to attend a university.
Did you get married, and what was your husband or wife's name?
No, I did
not get married
. I stayed single all my life.
Inventions and Artworks
I am leo da vinci
The most interesting "fun" fact about my life is that I wrote in Italian using a special kind of shorthand that I invented myself . It is called
"mirror writing"
starting at the right side of the page and moving to the left, and my writings are deciphered only with a mirror.
Being a lefty was highly unusual in my time. Left-handedness was considered the devil's work and lefties were often forced to use their right hand.
No one knows the true reason I used mirror writing, though several possibilities have been suggested:
- I was trying to
make it harder
for people
to read
my notes and steal
my ideas.
- I was
hiding my scientific ideas
from the powerful Roman Catholic Church,
whose teachings sometimes disagreed with what I observed.
- Writing left handed from left to right was messy because the ink just put
down would smear as my hand moved across it. I chose to write in reverse
because it
prevented smudging
Mona Lisa
The Last Supper
Lady with an Ermine
Mona Lisa
The Last Supper
Portrait of Ginevra
de' Benci
The Virgin and Child
with St. Anne
St. John the Baptist
Madonna of the Carnation
Virgin of the Rock
Baptism Of Christ
What is the most interesting "fun" fact about your life ?
This portrait had been believed to be a self-portrait by Leonardo, but it was dismissed as a fake in 1938
Although none of my inventions were built during my lifetime, I invented many things which were spectacularly ahead of my time. If they had actually been built, they might have revolutionized the history of technology.
In recent years, however, engineers have begun to construct models of my amazing machines and most of them actually work. Some of the coolest designs that I sketched out in my notebooks are
Helicopter, Tank, Scuba Gear, Parachute, Bicycle, Flying Machine, and Movable Bridge.
I also became famous for great art works including two paintings that remain among the world's most famous and admired,
Mona Lisa and The Last Supper
The Adoration of the Magi

Newspaper article The Christian Science Monitor
Oil Production Appears Ample for This Winter but Crude from Kuwait, Iraq, and Soviet Union Remains in Doubt. WORLD PETROLEUM MARKET
Article excerpt
FIREFIGHTERS should extinguish Kuwait's last blazing wells in less than a month, but only Iraqi President Saddam Hussein can take the heat off the world oil market.
There's enough oil production capacity to get through the cold months, says Cyrus Tahmassebi, chief economist at Ashland Oil Inc. But that could change, he and other analysts warn, if unusually severe weather or a surge in the global economy boosts demand, or if a source fails. The only excess production capacity in the world is in Iraq.
The countries in what used to be called the free world will consume 53.5 million barrels of oil per day (b.p.d.) this winter, Mr. Tahmassebi says. To meet the demand, the 13 members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will have to produce 24 million b.p.d. - about what they are pumping now.
Oil traders in the United States, wary of a disruption, have run the price of domestically produced oil up to $24 per barrel lately. "I can see why some people are nervous," Tahmassebi says. He and other analysts are watching three countries:
Kuwait. Last spring the retreating Iraqi Army set fire to 745 oil wells in the Persian Gulf sheikdom. Well-control specialists first predicted that it would take two years or more to snuff them all.
But only nine months will be required because the government of Kuwait "spared no expense," says John Burton of Wild Well Control in Houston. The Kuwaitis deployed 28 teams of firefighters from North America, Europe, and even Iran and China.
Fewer than 100 wells are still burning, and those will be put out by Nov. 20, Mr. Burton says.
But much cleanup and repair work must be done to restore Kuwait's former production capacity of 3 million b.p.d. Kuwait is producing up to 400,000 b.p.d. now, Tahmassebi says. That figure could double by the end of 1992, but little increase will be seen over the winter.
The Soviet Union. Oil analysts have been concerned that economic and political disintegration would disrupt Soviet petroleum exports this winter.
The economic treaty signed by eight of the remaining 12 Soviet republics might help stabilize the situation there, says Robert Ebel, an expert on Soviet oil with Enserch Corporation. But he warns that the treaty is vague. "We've been through these kinds of economic agreements before and they've fallen apart" when the details were tackled. …

Equitas Telemedicine
Healthcare is a source of significant financial stress for Equitas members. A particular problem afflicting members is the lack of access to quality healthcare; especially for critical illnesses. Equitas has installed an inbound call centre to serve as a helpline for members to obtain information on treatment of serious illnesses by quality health-care providers at a subsidized cost. Equitas has established partnership with healthcare service providers; who will provide their services either free of cost or at reduced prices for Equitas members. This facility is being piloted at Chennai and has helped patients obtain prompt access to healthcare at the right hospital; and at a reduced cost. The initial success of this initiative is set to be bolstered by a larger network of hospitals that will be empanelled in the next few months; and the expansion of this service to areas other than Chennai as well.

100 years of Lutz jump
By Olga Fluegge
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Lutz jump.
"An obscure Austrian skater of 1920-s", James R. Hines writes about Alois Lutz in "Historical Dictionary of Figure Skating".
In reality we don't know much about him. Alois was born in 1898 in Vienna, a capital of world figure skating in those times.
As a young skater and hockey player, he used to skate at "Kunsteisbahn Engelmann", a famous ice rink in his hometown. The new Lutz jump, which he introduced 1913 in a competition, was named after him.
It was the first jump with using of toe pick. The skater typically performs a long glide on a left backward outside edge in a wide arc into the corner of the rink. Just prior to jumping, the skater reaches back with the right arm and the right foot and uses the right toe pick to vault into the air, before performing a full turn in the air and landing on the right back outside edge. In addition to the standard entry described above, it has become common for skaters to do a Lutz from a footwork entry.
The Lutz jump is very similar to the flip and the two jumps can be hard for the novice viewer to tell apart. The flip is initiated on the inside edge on a curve that has the same sense as the jump's rotation. The Lutz is initiated on the same foot, but on an outside edge.
The Lutz is considered one of the most difficult jumps because its entry is counterrotated — that is, the rotation of the jump is opposite to that of the entry edge. The body's natural impulse is to "cheat" or begin to pre-rotate the jump by veering off at the last minute onto the inside edge, which really makes the cheated jump a flip. For this reason, the cheated Lutz is often called a flutz. On the other hand, skaters with excellent Lutz technique will actually deepen the outside edge as they reach back for the pick.
Alois Lutz himself could not show this jump in international competitions because he never competed internationally. He had never won medals at Austrian Nationals, we could not even tell whether he competed there. He died very young, at the age of 19 from pneumonia. Lutz is the last jump, in a row of others, which is named after his inventor.
Long time this jump was a highest level of difficulty in figure skating. Alena Vrzáňová of Czechoslovakia was the first woman credited with a double Lutz, performed at the 1949 World Championships.
In 1962 a Canadian World Champion Donald Jackson was the first man to execute a triple Lutz. In 80s the execution of the jump underwent a modification: an American Brian Boitano, the 1988 Olympic Champion, did it with one arm overhead. This is what we call "Tano Lutz".
The "Rippon Lutz", with two arms raised above the head, was introduced in 2009 by another young American Adam Rippon and became his signature move.
In present ladies' skating, jumping combinations with a triple Lutz are indicative of the high technical level of athletes.

Local governments are fighting back against a Senate plan for the state to take a cut of local traffic fines.
It's an issue with immediate implications for communities that depend heavily on money from traffic tickets. Other localities say it could start a worrisome trend.
The Senate Finance committee approved a measure that would capture a portion of the revenue from local fines and use it for state teacher retirement and other education expenses.
A bulletin from the Virginia Municipal League said if the Senate plan passes, it would encourage the state to take larger and larger chunks of local fines and fees to use for state purposes. "This cash-grab must be stopped now," the VML said.
A coalition of interests – including the Virginia Association of Counties and the Virginia Sheriffs Association– is scheduled to speak against the proposal at a news conference today. "This is going to be devastating for localities," said a spokesperson for Sen. Charles Carrico, R-Galax, who is hosting the news conference.
Although it's not spelled out in any budget document, it appears the Senate plan is aimed at localities such as Hopewell, where a special traffic enforcement unit brings in close to $2 million a year for the city government.
UPDATE: The VML reports local officials joined with police chiefs, sheriffs and law enforcement officers to oppose the diversion of money from local fines.

KETCHIKAN - Ketchikan officials have approved a $500,000 appropriation for a proposed performing arts center.
The Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly voted 4-2 this week to take the money from a commercial passenger vessel fund.
Ketchikan Theatre Ballet and First City Players plan to buy and renovate a building on Main Street for about $5 million to create the center.
Assembly member Glen Thompson, among the no votes, said the appropriation is not a proper use of the fund, and it could be challenged by the cruise line industry.
State law requires the money to be used to improve port and harbor facilities or cruise ship tourist-related services.
The assembly shot down an amendment proposed by Thompson that would have required the organizations to repay funds if the grant was successfully challenged in court.
The grant agreement does stipulate that the organizations would help with defense in litigation.

Additional Information
does not help much review by Lane on 12/23/2015
This supplement is not going to help your knees or any other joint like it claims too. There is really no evidence that any sort of joint supplement like Glucosamine and MSM can help your joints when taken orally. So, this supplement will help your joints just about as much as any other joint supplement on the market today, which is not much. The only thing that can really help joints is Omega-3 fatty acids, because they reduce inflammation and can really help with pain.*DISCLAIMER. Individual results may vary.

AG192 home is where the start is, max was the emotional part for me he genuinely didn't want to go which was sad
And omg, how could I forget the last Indigo League episode?! It was sad how Ash was just sitting in the stadium at the end and how it seemed like all his dreams were crushed. I almost cried just thinking about how his journey seemed to be cut short, only to realize later that he wasn't giving up and that he was still going to pursue his dream. It was so inspirational.
I dare say a lot of episodes made me sad:
season 1: bye bye butterfree, Pikachu's Goodbye, Snow way out, Charmander the Stray Pokémon, Eletric Shock Showdown
Johto Saga: Waiting on a friend (the Ninetales episode), Bulbasaur the ambassador
Hoenn: Time Warp Heals all wounds (the one where may's eevee hatched), the gathering of 4
Sinnoh: Stopped in the name of Love (where piplup wishes not to evolve), Pika and Goliath
Unova: Evolution by Fire
May the odds be EVER in your favor

If you are a true Swiftie (a Taylor Swift fan) like me and not scared to show it, "Drop Everything Now" and copy and paste in your signature.
I would have to say for me it's the episodes,"Pikachu's Goodbye" and "Gotta Catch Ya Later!"
I would say the most emotional episode for me is, "Memories are Made of Bliss!" because that was the last Diamond and Pearl episode.
I find almost any episode that involves a Pokemon's growth or Ash cheering it after failure or such stuff emotional. One of the main episodes I liked was 1) Pikachu leaving Ash episode in Kanto
2) Chimchar crying episode
3) Turtwig, Grotle..and Torterra. The song that comes when Grotle tries to train by itself at night is so moving.
4) Ash taking care of Charizard after getting frozen by Poliwrath
5) Ash taking care of Sceptile when it lost its moves and they both fell from the cliffs.
One of the main reasons I watch the Japanese versions is because they have the right songs for the emotional stuff.
Pokemon AG has some amazing Japanese emotional Ending Songs. They're so damn moving that they were used even in DP.
I don't care if he never wins a league but the things he do for his Pokemon are just so moving for me. This is precisely why I am a Ash fan.
FF.Net profile: Here!!\
I cried in the episode Jessie and James released Arbok and Wheezing
Fanfic Corner
Best Wishes Rewrite - Ferris Wheel shipping story, Team Rocket vs Team Plasma action (Disclaimer: No Iris)
Sun/Moon Rewrite - A standalone story with a new lead. (Coming soon)
I haven't actively watched the anime since the end of the Hoenn league, but I'd have to say Bye Bye Butterfree and Pikachu's Goodbye. Also, Gotta Catch Ya Later because of Misty leaving the group, and I also did not know Brock would rejoin the group after that so I figured he was going as well.
most emotinal episodes -
1. Pokemon I choose you
2. Bye Bye Butterfree
3. Pikachu's goodbye
4. Snow way out
5. Charizard chills
6. Chirizard's burning ambition
7.BW130 - Ash and Butterfree! Until the day we meet again.
The last DP episode, it was pretty sad to see both Dawn and Brock leave.
Also because right after this episode is when the anime really went downhillXD
~RIP gen 8 for 2018~
~Biggest DP fan...apparently ~
Gotta Catch Ya Later!
Umm too many from the first 9 gens to say - but there is one episode i can sum it all up into, Gotta Catch Ya Later, even though having watched it hundreds of times, i still get to the merge of tears.
One and only one. Can't remember the episode name but it's the one with the rival Gyms and Pikachu's now famous bonding with the ketchup bottle.
You all know the episode now, yup? Then you all know which bit I'm referring to... I'm gonna leave it there, I can't actually bring myself to type it without tearing up.
Noodles! Roamin' Off! deserves an honorable mention. (The one where Team Rocket broke up and James went to catch a Shiny Metagross by himself in order to bring Jessie and Meowth back).
Celebi dying in the 4th movie was probably the most emotional death in Pokemon.
It's not about winning; it's the rivers you cross.
However, I do agree Celebi's death was quite emotional. It was very touching, actually. The lullaby added an extra touch when it was revived and was very sweet. I loved the 4th film, though.
Sorry for the Team Rocket based episodes, but I just thought of another.
Go West Young Meowth
That episode always stuck out to me, and it gave Meowth a pretty emotional story.
It's not about winning; it's the rivers you cross.
Might've cried when Butterfree left...not ashamed at all about it.
"Bye Bye Butterfree" still holds up after all this time, too, in my eyes. Very emotional and considering Caterpie was Ash's first Pokémon that he caught, it makes the moment even more emotional and sad when it leaves him to be with its mate.
I have a few so bear with me.. get it.. bear XD
The recent episode off da "featuring jirachi"
A scare to remember
Pikachu's goodbye
The final episode off diamond and pearl
Gliscor's goodbye
Do you hear ralts
#TeamRowlett (Amanda is the one whom created this magnificent image)
Proud Advance/AmourShipper ~ If you're lucky enough to be different, don't ever change. ~T, Swift~
Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more? ~ Before Sunrise ~
Grooveshark | Tumblr | BulbaGarden | IMDB | Spotify | Youtube | Last.FM
The one that stands out to me is "Do I Hear a Ralts," though. That made me realize just how awesome Max really was.
I used to think he was just an annoying nerd at first, but that episode and the sixth movie changed my opinion of him greatly.

More women dying of painkiller overdoses than ever before, CDC says
Wed., July 3, 2013
Middle-aged women are dying from overdoses of prescription opioid painkillers at "skyrocketing" rates, more than five times as often in 2010 as they were in 1999, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.
"Mothers, sisters and daughters are dying from prescription drug overdoses more than we've ever seen," CDC Director Tom Frieden said in a conference call with reporters.
The CDC previously reported that deaths from overdoses of prescription opioid painkillers had exceeded those of cocaine and heroin combined.
The new report said more than 6,600 women died from a prescription painkiller overdose in 2010, which is more than twice the number dying from cervical cancer. The fastest-growing age group: women 45-54.
Opioid pain pills often have oxycodone and hydrocodone as the active ingredient and are addictive. Brand names in the category include OxyContin, Opana, Percocet and Vicodin.
Cocaine and heroin are illegal in the United States and most of the world. Prescription opioid painkillers, however, are legally made by drug companies. The legal market is about $10 billion per year.
Relieving pain for chronic cancer patients is among the proper uses for such medication.
Despite ample evidence to the contrary, some well-meaning physicians still write prescriptions for opioids when less-addictive medication is available or nondrug options have not been tried. Other doctors have been prosecuted for ignoring prescribing regulations.
Women are more likely to be diagnosed with chronic pain, including migraines.
Asked about the influence of drug company marketing, Frieden said, "Clearly, marketing is one of the reasons you get this increase."
Drugmakers have tried to change the way their pills are made so they are more difficult to crush and liquefy. Abusers of those drugs sometimes smoke or snort the product.

What is more important for a true leader to understand, use, and spread: Tactility or Vision?
A recent article by Mark Federman on Linked 2 Leadership titled "Honest Leadership: The End of "Vision" drew my attention. At the outset, it must be said that he introduced me to a new dimension of strategy planning…that of tactility.
Tactility has to do with how the culture, products, and the organization "feel" to employees, customers, clients, and the community in which the business resides.
Is Vision Blurring Reality?
As Federman instructs, leaders must be aware of the direct and indirect effects your organization is creating along the way of achieving their vision. It is certainly an overlooked dimension of strategy plans for many organizations.
However, Federman stated that "vision is more than over-rated" and "is counter-productive to providing appropriate leadership."
This writer must respectfully disagree.
Again, I appreciate Federman's contribution to the organizational development discussion by the addition of tactility, but it should not be at the expense of well-developed "visioneering."
20/20 Vision
Vision Statements That Moved People
- Moses' Vision of a "Land Flowing with Milk and Honey":
Exodus 3:7 presents one of the best vision statements in human history. It was presented by God to Moses who in turn presented it to the people of Israel. The vision catch phrase "land flowing with milk and honey" is repeated forty-six times in the English Bible, specifically in the Old Testament.
However mythical it may have been, the vision of King Arthur's round table evokes a mental image of leaders of varying levels having an equal voice at the table of governance. Wace (c. 1115 to c. 1183) was the first to coin the phrase "Knights of the Roundtable" to describe the equality King Arthur supposedly gave to his supporting leaders in order to quell jealousies between them. Again, however mythical, the vision has inspired many with the ideals of Camelot.
I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth.
A vision that has yet to be realized but has the potential to transform and empower American culture at all levels.
These vision statements have motivated people to move heaven and earth to achieve new heights.
Vision +
Note that some of the examples of vision statements have other sensory perceptions embedded in them:
- We may like the taste of milk and honey
- The round table provides a feeling of empowerment and equality
- Imagining the moon trip evokes much curiosity regarding feelings
- And "I have a dream" provides feelings of good will and peace
The vision statements listed were or are actualized at a high level, yet there are vision statements at various levels that transform single organizations or businesses as well as higher level vision statements that transform larger masses of people.
Vision is Transformational!
Seeing Ahead or Staying Behind
Strategy is Static, But Vision is Viral
The point is that strategy for organizational development and planning leaves most people cold, except for the Mr. Spock geeks who get excited about the subject. One way to understand the difference between strategy and vision is to see the former as the space shuttle and the latter as the fuel.
Without the fuel the space shuttle goes nowhere, thus the statement "strategy is static but vision is viral."
Understanding "Viral"
Working as a medical technologist provided this writer understanding of the meaning of the term "viral." Working at the U.S. National Naval Medical Center in 1981 as a medical laboratory technician, the staff was informed of a yet unknown virus that had been identified mostly limited to homosexual males at that time.
Information was scarce and there was not even a name for the contagion.
- By 1982 the contagion was given the name "AIDS" – Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
- By 1983 AIDS was reported among non-drug using women and children
- By 1990 it was estimated that 8 million people were living with HIV worldwide
The virus had spread into various population groups around the world in nine years. While this is a negative example of vision going viral, it does illustrate the idea from which the concept comes.
Viruses can spread at an exponential speed.
Using a positive illustration of vision, President Kennedy cast the vision of the moon landing in 1962 and it was accomplished in 1969.
There was clearly a significant degree of interest, urgency, buy-in, and money invested into the vision to make it happen, but it would have never "gotten off of the ground" without the original vision cast by a person of influence.
Many vision statements are not visual.
Just a Statement?
Vision Creates Urgency
Federman reported that organizational leaders recited their vision statement with little personal passion or buy-in. I suggest that what they thought was a vision statement was no more that another strategy point or the vision statement was too long and never reduced to a mental image.
Vision creates urgency and buy-in among constituents and they will endure great challenges to see it become a reality because they can "see" it.
Real vision takes on a life of its own but it always has three characteristics:
- Vision is visual as it easily creates a mental image to which people can relate.
- Vision is inspiring as it is something that people want to become real.
- Vision is simple as it is easily passed from one person to another and to increasingly larger groups of people. Simple means that vision may be reduced to five words or less.
Again, Federman is right by including tactility in the organizational development arsenal, but without vision, tactility may remain as just another rung on the ladder of a weak or failed strategy.
The best strategy plan will include both tactility and vision!
Do you agree that vision is just as important as other elements of strategy planning? Will you include both tactility and vision in your planning? Is your organization's vision statement visual, inspiring, and simple?

Minor flurries of snow fell from the Midlands down to Bedfordshire on Saturday, as well as in Reading, Berks, Guildford, Surrey, and northern parts of Hampshire, while hundreds of skiers and snowboarders made the most of the conditions in the Cairngorms, in Scotland.
Forecasters now expect up to six inches of snow to fall in some areas as the first major cold snap of 2013 arrives.
The Met Office has issued several "yellow" warnings nationwide for ice and snow. It expects between one and two inches to fall across low-lying areas of northern and central England, as well as Scotland, on Monday while the south will see around an inch.
The Pennines and the Scottish Highlands are expected to see between two and six inches. The only areas likely to escape the snow are the South West and Wales.
Network Rail said train services could face disruption. It plans to run trains through the night to stop tracks from freezing over and treat electric rails with antifreeze.
Heathrow and Gatwick Airport also said there was "a possibility" of disruption tomorrow. Last month, less than an inch of snow caused five airports, including Stansted and Luton, to close.
The RAC said it is expecting up to 56,000 breakdowns over the weekend – a rise of 20 per cent on the norm – and widespread disruption on the roads.
Tesco said sales of shovels are more than five times last week's levels and expects them to increase even further in the coming days.
Temperatures reached as low as 19F (-7.5C) in Aviemore, in the Cairngorms and are expected to plummet to as low as 14F (-10C) by the middle of the week. Most areas will see temperatures as low as 23F (-5C).
Craig Snell, a Met Office spokesman, said: "Many places have already seen flurries of snowfall this winter but this is the first sign of a prolonged cold snap. We are expecting it to last until at least the middle of the week.
"There will be a significant drop in temperatures for most areas across the UK, which will mean a significant amount of snowfall."

I got a fairly large number of testers of Xorg 6.9 while it was in experimental. Not enough to catch all the bugs by any means, but I got at least some feedback. Then again, Xorg is special in that people with newer hardware often need the updates. - David Nusinow

EOF - If You Don't Believe in DRM, It Can't Hurt You
The last time I talked with Martin Fink, HP's Vice President of Linux, the problem on his mind was digital rights management (DRM) and if it could ever be compatible with free software. It's a puzzling question, but Martin, like everyone else in the Linux business, can find better problems to work on.
DRM is any technology that selectively disables features or affordances of a program or device in order to control use of a copy of information by the owner or authorized user of the copy. Think "unrippable" CDs for the home market or, on the office side, e-mail software that lets someone who sends you mail disable your forward or print function.
A coin-operated jukebox is not DRM, and chmod 600 my-secret-file.txt on a multiuser system is not DRM. Those technologies exclude only unauthorized users. DRM starts when the technology begins nit-picking about what you can do. For example, "play only on example.com's media player" is DRM. Certainly such a system helps example.com hang onto its customers, but there's no demand for it.
In this crazy business of ours, every once in a while, companies go into a frenzy to sell technology that doesn't work to customers who don't want it. In the 1990s, did customers want overpriced UNIX from bickering vendors or stable-any-day-we-promise Windows NT? Sorry, neither one works for us. Support Linux, please. Or on-line services. AOL or Compuserve? We'll take the Internet, thanks.
When I met Intel VP Donald Whiteside a while back, he summed up the IT industry party line on DRM. IT companies have to do DRM in order to work with the "consumer electronics", movie and record companies who put together media standards. He said computer DVD drives are so locked down because the DVD Copy Control Association would have refused to license the DVD format for computer drives otherwise.
Mr Whiteside is too modest about the IT industry's negotiating position. People started shifting their leisure time from big-budget TV productions to the slow-loading, frustrating Internet long before the big entertainment industry made it there. And the big copyright holders make pie-in-the-sky DRM demands, but a little Internet Movie Database search of actual DVD release dates show a different story in the real world.
The five top grossing movies for 1998, before the DVD descrambling story broke, took an average of 367 days after first release to come out in DVD format. By 2000, disinfecting DVDs was common knowledge in tech circles, but the top five movies for 2000 actually came out sooner after theatrical release—252 days.
The story is the same for before and after the "DVD X Copy" application for Microsoft Windows—from 190 days in 2002, before it came out, to 160 days during 2003 when it was available. Yes, the movie industry has an infringement problem, and they might even be releasing DVDs sooner than they would want in order to compete with infringing copies. But the DRM features of the DVD itself are a pointless sideshow.
The other hyped-up use for DRM is at the office. Deploy DRM and you can keep employees from forwarding embarrassing e-mail to the media. That sounds like the answer to network-illiterate managers' prayers, but if it's juicy enough to leak, it's juicy enough to write down and retype. Bill Gates of Microsoft, in an interview with gizmodo.com, tried to pitch DRM using the example of an HIV test result, which is literally one bit of information. If you hired someone untrustworthy enough to leak that but unable to remember it, you don't need DRM, you need to fix your hiring process.
When I talk to working IT professionals, the trend is to open up information "behind the firewall" at a company—not lock it down. People aren't worried about how to DRM-ize everything. Instead, I'm seeing enterprise Wikis. "Enterprise Wiki" still sounds funny, but companies with lots of trade secrets are rolling them out. "Edit this Page" adds value, and DRM has the opposite effect.
Even the mighty US Army is adopting discussion-friendly social software. Doc Searls sent me a link to Dan Baum's great New Yorker article about Companycommand.com and Platoonleader.org, which two Army captains started as a side project to exchange advice outside the normal channels. The Army promoted them and brought the sites in-house.
What if I'm wrong, DRM really is the Next Big Thing, and the herd of IT vendors is right for the first time in history? Network effects practically guarantee that one DRM system will be a global standard. Picking the winner, though, depends on unpredictable DRM-circumvention efforts by security researchers worldwide.
And when even a PC operating system can be an "essential facility" to be regulated on antitrust grounds, DRM that actually worked would be too much power for governments to let anyone else have. Win the DRM war, and the prize is becoming a regulated industry like the pre-breakup AT&T. Martin Fink doesn't want Linux users to miss the DRM boat. I'll miss that ship of fools any day.

Details on DVD release dates
too bad I can't leave comments there. DVDs get copied really easy.
It gets pirated anyway.
Everything gets pirated, DRM or not.
Absolutely. The fact is, if p
Absolutely. The fact is, if pirates (or even the merely curious and bored) want to break something, it will be broken and, probably, distributed in a broken form. People who are willing to circumvent the law will get the broken (ie, fully functional) version; people who are "honest" get the function-limited version. By paying for the genuine article they receive a product of lesser value. So where is the incentive to be honest?
James's Law?
There needs to be a named Internet Law (like Godwin's, etc.) that states something along the lines of:
As a DRM scheme grows more complex, the ratio of illegitimate users affected to legitimate users affected approaches zero.
The only people DRM hurts are those who purchase the DRM'd product. Pirates will crack it, then distribute the product with DRM disabled. This is not hard to understand.
Don't forget artists
DRM also hurts artists when it's easier to use an illegal copy than a paid-for but DRM-infected copy.
It's not about honesty.
If it were about honesty, there would be some form of ethics involved.
One bit of information?
This may be a little pedantic but ...
Bill Gates of Microsoft, in an interview with gizmodo.com, tried to pitch DRM using the example of an HIV test result, which is literally one bit of information.
According to Shannon's Information Theory, an HIV test result would only be "literally one bit of information" if the test result has a 50% chance of being positive and 50% chance of being negative.
Now, while these a priori probabilities may be the case for a health service primarily serving gay prostitutes in Thailand, for the general population something like 99%/1% would be closer.
This would require something like
H(T) = -0.01 log2 0.01 - 0.99 log2 0.99
= 0.0664 + 0.0144
= 0.0808 bits
or 8% of a bit!
NB: This makes the author's original argument even more compelling.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_theory
One Bit?
I might be missing something but I cannot see how you could convey a test result (+ve/-ve) with less than one bit (regardless of how much "information" is in that bit.
You can convey the result in
You can convey the result in less than one bit of actual data if you compress it along with other stuff. For example, assume 1 in 16 of 15000 independent tests are positive and you want to encode these 15000 bits. Without even getting into serious compression algorithms, let's pack results in groups of two:
0 both negative
100, 101 one or the other positive
11 both negative
This crappy code uses an average of 0.5*(225/256)+1.5*(15/256)*2+1*(1/256), that is (112.5+45+1)/256 =
0.619, bits per input bit.
it takes more bits to explain the 8% bit.
leakable bits
But we're only concerned with test results that are at risk of being leaked, not all the test results in the whole database. Untrustworthy employees are probably more likely to leak a + than a -.

Picturesque popular spots such as the Loire Valley and the South of France are hard to beat and whether you are visiting for a long holiday or a city break, France has it all.
Read our France travel guide, you may also like to view information about destinations in France.
Tips for driving in France
Which side of the road do they drive on?
Drive on the right, overtake on the left. Unless otherwise indicated, vehicles coming from the right have priority at junctions. Roundabouts that bear the sign "Vous n'avez pas la priorité" or "Cédez le passage" indicate that traffic on the roundabout has priority.
Seat belts
If fitted, seat belts must be worn at all times by all occupants of the vehicle.
Driving with children
Children under 10 must not travel in the front seats without a special child restraint. The only exceptions occur when there is no rear seat in the vehicle, the rear seat is already occupied with children under 10, or there are no seat belts.
Child seats are calculated by weight not height and children under 10 must travel in an approved child seat or restraint.
Blood alcohol limit
The blood alcohol limit is 50mg alcohol per 100ml of blood. For those drivers who have held their licence for less than 3 years, this limit reduced to 20mg per 100ml of blood.
Can I use a mobile?
It's illegal to use a mobile even with a hands-free kit.
Reflective vests, triangles & other essentials
A reflective vest must be kept in the vehicle at all times and be accessible from the cabin. It is also compulsory to carry a warning triangle.
Do I need winter tyres or snow chains?
Winter tyres are not compulsory in France but highly recommended when driving in the mountains. If used, winter tyres must be marked M&S (Mud & Snow) and have a minimum tread of 3.5mm.
You must use snow chains when travelling on roads covered in snow or when directed by road signs.
Road signs indicate where parking is restricted and must be paid for, either at parking meters or pay and display machines. A continuous yellow line means stopping and parking are prohibited. A broken yellow line indicates parking is prohibited.
You are required to carry a breathalyser, there is no punishment or fine for not doing so.
Variable speed limits
During wet weather, the speed limits reduce by 30kph on motorways and dual carriageways. The speed limit is also reduced in built up areas.
On the spot fines
The French police can impose and collect fines of up to €375 on the spot. If the offence is unlikely to result in suspension or a prison sentence, you can pay a reduced fine within 3 days. If you would like to contest the fine, you must apply for a court hearing within 30 days.
If the offence committed is likely to entail a heavy fine and the suspension of the driving licence or a prison sentence, you must leave a guarantee. The police may hold your vehicle until payment is made in cash or by a cheque drawn on a French bank.
Horns and headlights
The horn should only be used in case of an emergency. In built-up areas, use of the horn is prohibited except in cases of immediate danger.
It is recommended that you use sidelights at all times.
What should I do if I breakdown?
If you breakdown, you must put on a reflective jacket and place the reflective triangle behind the vehicle to warn other drivers. You MUST use one of the orange emergency telephones situated every 2km along main roads and motorways. These will allow you to call the police or the official breakdown service operating in that area. Call the car rental provider who will be able to advise you further.
What should I do if I have an accident?
If you're in an accident, you MUST notify the Police and the car rental provider and get an accident report for insurance purposes. Failure to do so may result in you footing the whole bill. It is recommended that you contact ourselves at the same time to ensure you follow the correct procedure.Book now

Apple's iPhone 4 has enjoyed rampant success since its release on June 24. But amid the publicity for its launch, Consumer Reports raised a red flag Monday, withholding a product recommendation for the device, citing a flaw in its antenna design.
The publication, which recommended previous versions of the iPhone, says it can't recommend iPhone 4 because "there is a problem with its reception."
On a blog post, Consumer Reports stated: "When your finger or hand touches a spot on the phone's lower left side—an easy thing, especially for lefties—the signal can significantly degrade enough to cause you to lose your connection altogether if you're in an area with a weak signal. Due to this problem, we can't recommend the iPhone 4.
Apple has said that in high data-usage areas such as San Francisco and New York coverage may not be as strong as in other areas. But Consumer Reports said tests conducted on iPhone 4 and on several other AT&T phones one handsets pinpointed the problem with iPhone 4. "None of those phones had the signal-loss problems of the iPhone 4," Consumer Reports said.
Apple announced on July 2 it will solve the software glitch that affects signal strength display on the phone.
As one solution, Consumer Reports did recommend covering the antenna gap with duct tape: "It may not be pretty, but it works," the blog continued. "We also expect that using a case would remedy the problem."
Even though purchasing a case may seem an unnecessary and inconvenient option for some iPhone 4 users, Apple partner Mark Greenblatt, president of Los Angeles-based Apple reseller MacEnthusiast, said getting a case is a easy enough solution.
"Antenna redesign was supposed to improve Wi-Fi and cell service and it is marginally better than the 3GS (iPhone)," he said. "I don't think sales will be affected by the antenna issues because of the simple solution."
Consumer Reports also said in the blog post that most importantly, Apple needs to come up with a permanent fix for the antenna problem before it can recommend the iPhone 4.

67 WALL STREET, New York - July 9, 2013 - The Wall Street Transcript has just published its Investing Strategies Report offering a timely review of the sector to serious investors and industry executives. This special feature contains expert industry commentary through in-depth interviews with Money Managers. The full issue is available by calling (212) 952-7433 or via The Wall Street Transcript Online.
Topics covered: Bottom-Up Stock Selection - Cyclical Sectors, Exposure to Emerging Markets - Large-Cap, Deep-Value - Value Oriented Strategy - High-Quality Companies - Value Investing, Deep Value - Longer-Term Investing
Companies include: SRI companies and many more.
In the following excerpt from the Investing Strategies Report, an expert portfolio manager discusses his portfolio-construction methodology and his investment philosophy:
TWST: Would you give us an overview of your different investment products in both the traditional and the SRI categories?
Mr. Bhatia: Our focus was centered on creating similarity between our two offerings. For example, we want to have a Canadian equity fund through the Meritas family and similarly, a Canadian equity fund through OceanRock. The choice for investors then becomes a combination of the desired subadviser and, to a large extent, whether the investor has a preference for how much SRI exposure they want in their portfolio. We offer individual Canadian, U.S. and international equity funds, along with a Canadian bond fund that is split between a core sleeve, with the benchmark being the DEX Universe Bond Index, and a credit sleeve, which uses the shorter-duration DEX Corporate Bond Index as its benchmark.
Essentially, our most compelling offering is the range of OceanRock and Meritas portfolios in our lineup. We have amalgamated combinations of our mutual funds into six portfolios within each fund family. These portfolios offer a strategic asset allocation, as well as rebalancing and an option for a tax-efficient income stream. Our portfolios range from 20% to 100% equity exposure, depending on both an investor's individual risk tolerance and time horizon, and provide investors the ability to allocate 0% to 100% to SRI. Also, I believe we are the only...

BPD lieutenant's DWI charge dismissed
Published 9:00 am, Wednesday, December 29, 2010
Photo: Jasper County Jail
Beaumont police lieutenant Ray Beck's DWI charge in Jasper County has been dismissed.
Beck was given a pretrial diversion, which Jasper County District Attorney Steve Hollis explained is like deferred adjudication. If a person successfully completes the pretrial diversion, their case is dismissed, Hollis said.
Hollis said like many counties, Jasper County regularly gives pretrial diversions.
Beck was arrested March 27 in Jasper County for driving while intoxicated, according to Enterprise archives. Beck has been with BPD for more than 35 years.

Aquila, the pet eagle of Zeus, showed the gentler side of his nature when he carefully carried up Ganymede to Mount Olympus to be cup-bearer to his master. However, when considering the myth surrounding Prometheus, the ferocious, darker side of Aquila is very evident. Prometheus was one of the last Titan gods who became an advisor to Zeus. He was protective of humankind and, seeing how they suffered because they had no fire, he stole a ray from the Sun which he smuggled down to earth in a hollow stem. Zeus did not believe that man was worthy of such a gift, and was furious that Prometheus had acted without his permission. The well-meaning Titan was chained to the side of a mountain, stripped of his garments, and was continually attacked by Aquila. Since he was immortal, his dreadful wounds healed themselves every evening, only to be opened up again the next day by Aquila. After many years Prometheus was saved by Hercules, who agreed with his kind deed to mankind. Using his bow and arrow, he killed Aquila, who was then placed by Zeus to soar in the heavens.
(In Greek mythology, Aquila is identified as the eagle that carried Zeus' thunderbolts and was once dispatched by the god to carry Ganymede, the young Trojan boy Zeus desired, to Olympus to be the cup bearer of the gods. Ganymede is represented by the neighbouring constellation Aquarius.)
In anothery story, the eagle is found guarding the arrow of Eros (represented by the constellation Sagitta), which hit Zeus and made him love-struck.
In yet another myth, Aquila represents Aphrodite disguised as an eagle, pretending to pursue Zeus in the form of a swan, so that Zeus' love interest, the goddess Nemesis, would give him shelter. In the story, Zeus later placed the images of the eagle and the swan among the stars to commemorate the event.
The name of the brightest star in the constellation, Altair, is derived from the Arabic al-nasr al-ta'ir, which means "flying eagle" or "vulture." Ptolemy called the star Aetus, which is Latin for "eagle." Similarly, both Babylonians and Sumerians called Altair "the eagle star."

I've been remiss in neglecting to mention the surprisingly fun Kalorama Blogorama, as Will Wilkinson termed it. "Surprising" only because if you'd told me in advance that a group of right-leaning political wonks who, oh yeah, spend inordinate amounts of time on the Internet, would be a blast when squeezed into a bar… well, let's just say I'd have raised an eyebrow. My colleague (and landlord) Gene Healy got a pretty comprehensive list of attendees. These included lots of the Beltway Bloggers, as well as (when worlds collide!) many APDA debaters who blog. One of whom was hit on by a colleague at some length… extra weird. I also subjected poor Eve Tushnet to a mid-sized ramble about precisely why it is that I'm not an anarchist, and had the poor taste to introduce myself to Ramesh Ponnuru with the phrase: "Hey, I attacked something you wrote once!"
All in all, a fun time. Can't wait for Radley, Gene, and Brink to cook up the next one.

Wall Street reacted positively to Zuckerberg's comments, specifically focusing on his commitment to Facebook's mobile strategy and new opportunities in search. It took only 30 minutes for Zuckerberg to change the narrative a bit for a company that has clearly been humbled in the last three months.
Going up against Google in search won't be easy and Zuckerberg was hardly smooth in his interview yesterday with Michael Arrington. But this is what star CEOs of important publicly-traded companies are supposed to do. Prior to yesterday's appearance, Zuckerberg had hardly been heard from as the price of Facebook's stock plummeted. He previously gave the impression that he just didn't care about the stock price. Zuckerberg acknowledged that the share price disaster has been "disappointing" and "doesn't help"—and by doing a little public relations he helped his own cause. "We care about our shareholders," Zuckerberg said.
Zuckerberg even managed to give a lift to the shares of Zynga, the social gaming company that is completely dependent on Facebook. Zuckerberg called Zynga "a fundamentally strong company." Zynga's stock rose by nearly 6% on Wednesday.
Wall Street analysts ate it up. "Zuckerberg appeared calm, cool and collected," wrote Richard Greenfield, an analyst at BTIG.
Facebook has a long way to go just to get back to its IPO price of $38. "At some point, we will do it," means search-related revenue isn't coming soon. It's going to be a long time before Zuckerberg will monetize this "big opportunity." The expiration of employee share lock-ups next month is going to flood the market with new Facebook stock. The valuation multiples still look very rich.
