Stranger in a Strange Land:
A Precedent for Faul?
by Lewis Carroll 8.22.2013
(the excerpt from the book is for educational purposes only)
"---and so, friends, I have the honor to bring you now our fellow citizen Valentine Michael Smith, the Man from Mars! Mike, we all know you are tired and have not been well --- but will you say a few words to your friends? They all want to see you."
The stereo scene in the tank dissolved to a semi-close-up of a man in a wheel chair. Hovering over him like a favorite uncle was Douglas and on the other side of the chair was a nurse, stiff, starched and photogenic.
Jill gasped. Ben whispered fiercely, "Keep quiet! I don't want to miss a word of this."
The interview was not long. The smooth babyface of the man in the chair broke into a shy smile; he looked at the cameras and said, "Hello, folks. Excuse me for sitting down. I'm still weak." He seemed to speak with difficulty and once the nurse interrupted to take his pulse.
In answer to Douglas, he paid compliments to Captain van Tromp and the crew of the Champion, thanked everyone for his rescue, and said that everyone on Mars was terribly excited over contact with Earth and that he hoped to help in welding strong and friendly relations between the two planets. The nurse interrupted again, but Douglas said gently, "Mike, do you feel strong enough for just one more question?"
"Sure, Mr. Douglas --- if I can answer it."
"Mike, what do you think of the girls here on Earth?"
The baby face looked awestruck and ecstatic and turned pink. The scene dissolved again to the head and shoulders of the Secretary General. "Mike asked me to tell you," he went on in fatherly tones, "that he will be back to see you as soon as he can. He has to build up his muscles, you know. The gravity of Earth is as rough on him as the gravity of Jupiter would be to us. Possibly next week, if the doctors say he is strong enough." The scene shifted back to the exponents of Wise Girl lozenges (commercial sponsor) and a quick one-act playlet made clear that a girl who did not use them was not only out of her mind but undoubtedly a syntho in the hay, as well; men would cross the street to avoid her. Ben switched to another channel, then turned to Jill and said, moodily, "Well, I can tear up tomorrow's column and look around for a new subject to plug. They not only made my today's squawk look silly but it appears that Douglas has him safely under his thumb."
"That's not the Man from Mars!"
"What? Baby, are you sure?"
"Sure I'm sure! Oh, it looked like him, it looked a great deal like him. Even the voice was similar. But it was not the patient I saw in that guarded room."
Ben tried to shake her conviction. He pointed out that several dozen other persons were known to have seen Smith --- guards, interns, male nurses, the captain and crew of the Champion, probably others. Quite a few of that list must have seen this newscast --- or at least the administration would have to assume that some of them would see it and spot the substitution... if there had been a substitution. It did not make sense --- too great a risk.
Jill did not offer logical rebuttal; she simply stuck out her lower lip and insisted that the person on stereo (TV) was not the patient she had met. Finally, she said angrily, "All right, all right, have it your own way! I can't prove I'm right --- so I must be wrong. Men!"
"Now, Jill..."
"Please take me home."
Ben silently went for a (flying) cab. He did not accept one from outside the restaurant even though he no longer thought that anyone would be taking interest in his movements; he selected one from the landing flat of a hotel across the way. Jill remained chilly on the flight back. Presently Ben got out the transcripts of the sounds picked up from Smith's hospital room and reread them. He read them still again, thought for a while, and said, "Jill?"
"Yes, Mr. Caxton?"
"I'll 'mister' you! Look, Jill, I'm sorry, I apologize. I was wrong."
"And what leads you to this momentous conclusion?"
He slapped the folded papers against his palm. "This Smith could not possibly have been showing this behavior yesterday and the day before and then have given that interview tonight. He would have flipped his controls... gone into one of those trance things."
"I am gratified that you have finally seen the obvious."
"Jill, will you kindly kick me in the face a couple of times, then let up? This is serious. Do you know what this means?"
"It means they used an actor to fake an interview. I told you that an hour ago."
"Sure. An actor and a good one, carefully typed and coached. But it implies much more than that. As I see it, there are two possibilities. The first is that Smith is dead and ---"
"Dead!" Jill suddenly was back in that curious water-drinking ceremony (Martian cultural rite she saw Smith perform in his hospital room) and felt the strange , warm, unworldly flavor of Smith's personality, felt it with unbearable sorrow.
"Maybe. In which case this ringer will be allowed to stay 'alive' for a week or ten days, until they have time to draw up whatever papers they want him to sign. Then, the ringer will 'die' and they will ship him out of town, probably with a hypnotic injunction not to talk so strong that he would choke up with asthma if he tried to spill it --- or maybe even a transorbital lobotomy if the boys are playing for keeps. But if Smith is dead, we can just forget it; we'll never be able to prove the truth. So let's assume that he is still alive."
"Oh, I do hope so."
"If he is still alive, it could be that there is nothing sinister about it. After all, a lot of public figures use doubles for some of their appearances; it does not even annoy the public because every time a yokel thinks that he has spotted a double it makes him feel smart and in the know. So it may be that the administration has just yielded to public demand and given them that look at the Man from Mars we have all been yapping for. It could be that in two or three weeks our friend Smith will be in shape to stand the strain of public appearances, at which time they will trot him out. But I doubt it like hell!"
"Use your pretty curly head. The Honorable Joe Douglas has already made one attempt to squeeze out of Smith what he wants... and failed miserably. But Douglas can't afford to fail. So I think he will bury Smith deeper than ever... and that is the last we will ever see of the true Man from Mars."
"Kill him?" Jill said slowly.So, there you have it. A word for word excerpt from the 1961 science fiction classic, Stranger in a Strange Land. The explanations in parentheses were my own.

The company was established in 1916 by cabinetmaker I.C.A. Jensen. It started as a traditional cabinetmaker, but over the years has evolved to include the production of architect-designed furniture.
In 1978, brothers Knud and Vagn Andersen bought the company and established Brother Andersens Cabinet Making, where they continued to produce architect-designed furniture of the highest quality. 14 years later, the next generation of the company emerged in the guise of Jørgen Andersen, who has the responsiblity for sales and marketing. Another 11 years later, Jørgen Andersen was joined by his younger brother Henrik, who became the IT and financial manager of the company, which has grown considerably since its founding, and so in 2007 the company moved into new facilities at its current address in Hinnerup.
In 2012, Poul Frandsen joined the company's management, which he currently manages together with the two brothers.
ANDERSEN FURNITURE'S main markets are Denmark and Norway. In addition, they are marketed in several European and Asian countries. The range includes tables, coffee tables, chairs, sofas, accessories, sideboards and shelving.

Bay Bridge
New Bay Bridge still leaks despite efforts to plug holes
Holes in the new $6.5 billion San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge – first detected by California Department of Transportation employees last winter – have continued to leak water inside the structure during recent storms.
Andrew Fremier, deputy executive director of the Bay Area Toll Authority, said in an interview Friday that efforts to caulk about 900 bolt holes for guard rails had been only partly successful. Water is again collecting inside the splay chambers – supposedly sealed rooms where the main bridge cable is secured to the new span.
"You obviously don't want water in the splay chambers," Fremier said.
Those chambers are meant to be bone dry to prevent corrosion of the main cable and the anchor rods that attach it to the span, Fremier said.
Fremier didn't know how many holes are still leaking, or how much water was pooling inside the chambers. But dehumidifiers have kept the air moisture to a safe level, he said. Experts say that humidity below 40 percent prevents corrosion. Caltrans has measured humidity at 38 percent despite the presence of water, Fremier said.
The chambers were drenched between December 2011 and December 2012 during construction, according to Bill Casey, a top Caltrans engineer for the new span. Last winter, the bolt-hole leaks caused splay-chamber humidity to spike as puddles of water formed inside during storms. At that time, the dehumidification system was not fully operational.
The episode raised concerns among independent engineering experts about the prospect of corrosion damage. In April, a Sacramento Bee investigation examined conditions inside a splay chamber. Laboratory tests of corrosion residue collected by The Bee, along with photographic evidence, found two types of corrosion: white rust from a protective layer of zinc, and reddish-brown rust from the underlying steel.
Using a scanning electron microscope, which detects the elements in sample particles of residue, rust was found both on the strands of the main cable and the anchor rods.
The tests also showed that the rods and strands were coated with salt from the marine environment. Salt accelerates corrosion.
Experts told The Bee that rust can make the rods and the cable strands vulnerable to cracking over time. This could be a particular risk for the strands, because large trucks passing overhead cause them to vibrate thousands of times every day.
In April, a bridge spokesman denied that corrosion was occurring inside the chambers, and said it was not a concern.
Officials had hoped to seal all the leaks before this year's rainy season. Fremier said he learned from Caltrans engineer Ken Brown, who heads maintenance for the new span, that the effort fell short.
Brown declined to comment.
Fremier blamed the leaks on a design error. He said Caltrans would pay for all repairs as a maintenance issue, rather than trying to get compensation from the bridge designers, a joint venture of TY Lin International and Moffatt & Nichol.
"I do think that most of the water (leaking into roadway sections) outside the splay chambers is more of a nuisance than anything else," Fremier said.
Earlier this week, Caltrans spokeswoman Leah Robinson-Leach said information on possible leaks was still being collected.
"There will always be some type of water presence after storms like those," she said. "(The bridge) never was and never will be waterproof."

Our hearts are heavier today than at any point since Scott's accident on September 22nd. For the past 10 days, Scott's struggle to overcome his injuries sustained on that day had progressively worsened as he battled infection, some bouts with delirium, and ultimately pneumonia. It is with incredible sadness that we must tell you that Scott succumbed to his injuries early this morning. A beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, friend, compatriot, leader and inspiration has left us here on earth and is now among the other angels in Heaven.
We have spent the day today making final arrangements and want to invite you to say farewell to Scott and join us in a celebration of this man and his life.
There will be two viewings at Thacker Brothers Lake Monticello Funeral Home (138 Heritage Dr., Palmyra, VA 22963).
The first will take place on Friday, January 3rd, 2014, from 6 PM – 8 PM.
The second will take place on Saturday, January 4th, 2014, from 9 AM – Noon.
A funeral service will follow the viewing on Saturday at 3PM at Grace And Glory Lutheran Church (683 Thomas Jefferson Parkway, Palmyra, VA 22963).
We welcome you to join us as we bid farewell to Scott. And we thank you for all the love, support, hope and prayers you have given us throughout this entire ordeal. While we are weak and in great pain now, we know that Scott is no longer suffering and is in a better place, and we will become stronger and the pain will subside with time, your support and God's love. And we also know that the very reason Scott touched all of your lives is because you are such incredibly special people. We were all blessed to have him on this earth and in our lives. His purpose is now fulfilled in Heaven, in the hands and with the mercy of God.
Bless you all,
The Scudamores
A graveside service will be conducted at 11 a.m. on Monday, January 6, 2014 at Quantico National Cemetery in Triangle, VA.
In lieu of flowers the Scudamores would like you to please make a donation to one of Scott's favorite charities, Trails for Youth or the Lake Monticello Volunteer Rescue Squad.

AceShowbiz - %cKylie Jenner% needed to go to hospital after having fun with %cKhloe Kardashian%. The aspiring model was jumping on trampoline with Khloe when she got injured. "In the hospital thanks to @khloekardashian. Look at her page for the reason why," Kylie wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday, February 4.
"My mom said 'never thought I would take u to the doctor for a trampoline accident at this age.' This means war Khloe. Ps. It was painful taking this photo," she added. In the black-and-white snap, Kylie can be seen covering one eye with her hand.

AN1 Data / Aaron Noonan
We have worked on numerous projects now for Aaron Noonan under his V8 Sleuth brand and he contacted us again recently to help for a project through his other business, AN1 Data. AN1 Data / Aaron Noonan are one of the foremost authorities on Australian motorsport history and statistical information and data.
For this project, AN1 Data partnered with the Australian Rally Championship to provide them with a detailed record book for the 46th year that the ARC has been in competition. The brief was fairly open for this project so we went for a predominately black, orange and white colour scheme and used strong graphic imagery to convey the dirty, exciting category that is a major factor of rallying. Combining this graphical approach with easy to read information and tables that were not only attractive, but easy to read and use were integral to the success of this project.
We completed the book design in time for the Australian Rally Championship Hall of Fame dinner and from all accounts, it was a hit.

Something about the hot summer weather makes me crave spicy flavors and grilled food. Maybe nostalgia is to blame, specifically memories of summer cook-outs and my family's love of all things Tex-Mex. We are firm believers that seven-layer dip is a food group, and that "mild" anything is for wimps.
The first time I had a taco with something other than chicken or ground beef, I was living in Fort Lauderdale and was introduced to the fish taco. It was served with a light cabbage slaw which was weird at first, but quickly won me over. The bright flavors of the lime and cilantro and the crunch of the cabbage was the perfect complement to the fish. It's like a purist's version of a taco…no salsa, no sour cream…just a tortilla, fish, and slaw.
This recipe is a play on the traditional fish taco. I've substituted grilled shrimp for the fish, and upped the ante by adding a chipotle glaze. The spicy, smoky flavor of the peppers is balanced by the addition of lime and a subtle sweetness of honey.
The slaw is bright and colorful, using red cabbage, carrots, cilantro and nothing but fresh lime juice and olive oil as the dressing. It also adds a nice cooling effect to the spicy chipotle.
Fresh avocado and Cotija cheese round out the flavors to create a delicious and somewhat healthy summer dish. Pair with a Mexican beer of your choice and relish the heat!
Grilled Chipotle Shrimp Tacos with Cilantro-Lime Slaw and Fresh Avocado
Yields: 4 servings
Special Equipment Needed: Grill (gas or charcoal), Blender or Food Processor
1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined (21/25 count)
Several corn tortillas
2 avocadoes, diced
1 cup Cotija cheese, crumbled
Cilantro-Lime Slaw:
½ small red cabbage, thinly sliced (about 2-3 cups)
1 cup shredded carrots
Handful fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice from 2 limes
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. sugar
Pinch of salt and pepper
Chipotle Glaze:
7 oz. can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (found in the Mexican ethnic section of grocery store)
2 Tbsp. honey
Juice from 1 lime
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Pinch of salt
Prepare the slaw: Combine all slaw ingredients and toss to combine. Refrigerate while preparing rest of ingredients.
Prepare the chipotle glaze: Use a food processor or blender to puree all the glaze ingredients until incorporated. Set aside.
Skewer the shrimp and spray both sides with a nonstick cooking spray.
Light a grill and turn to medium heat. Let the inside temp come up to about 400 degrees F.
Brush both sides of the shrimp with the chipotle glaze. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook with lid closed about 2 minutes on each side, or until opaque all the way through.
Warm tortillas on grill, about 15 seconds on each side.
Assemble tacos with shrimp, slaw, crumbled Cotija cheese, and fresh avocado. Drizzle some of the slaw juice onto each taco, or serve with your favorite salsa, and enjoy!
Use a separate, smaller bowl for the glaze meant for the shrimp, adding a few tablespoons at a time. That way the brush that touches the raw shrimp won't contaminate the main supply of the glaze, which means it can be used for other purposes.
The leftover chipotle glaze can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. You can use it on chicken, beef, or add a little to ranch dressing to make chipotle ranch.
Many stores now sell shredded carrots, but if you can't find them, you can use a box grater or food processor to shred your own.
If you can't find Cotija cheese, try using feta, mozzarella, or Monterey jack.

The help desk is ready to process payments and get work done right too. That is a worthwhile consideration for everyone interested.

I used to take health for granted. Thank you Amanda for letting me link up today to share this journey. I thought I could just run hundreds of miles, do as many workouts as I wanted, and eat as little but rarely as much as I wanted, and be healthy. I would place so much emphasis on fitness that I neglected a lot of the health that MATTERS.
Lately I've been realizing that more and more.
You see.
I feel ashamed to say this, but I'm struggling with my cycle again.
Robyn has definitely taught me that that period is so much more important than I thought it was when I was young and first starting my period.
I didn't realize how crucial it is to our bodies. I don't think I thought about how God designed every part of our bodies so carefully and that each part has a reason and a role.

Cactus Mexican Food #2 (#1 is on Vine in Hollywood) has been on the decline for some time now. Their once legendary salsa bar has continually disappointed over the last year or so. But this once great pride of L.A. establishment has truly hit a new low with their recent tacky cosmetic remodel (photos will be posted soon; current photos are of old decor), resulting in their tauntingly new high prices. I think if Marie Antoinette was alive, she would let us eat the cheese for free, but they started charging $1.00 extra for generic shredded cheese. Salsas fluctuate from day-to-day in color, body, spice and taste. The chipotle is their best (dark brown) Andy Cone guitarist from Monorchid seriously almost lost his life trying to get more of this salsa on one fabled day back in their glory days; the spicy verde (green) reminds me of the great serrano pepper salsa from Burrito Brothers in Washington, D.C.; the red seems to fluctuate between a mild arbol, a very spicy habanero, and sometimes just a strait sriracha. They don't put out the salsa bar until after lunch (time seems to vary day-to-day), but you can ask for all salsas on the side. Three parking spots on-site. I really want to love this place, but management seems to constantly find a way to mess it up.

An unwholesome abomination scuttles fluidly forth, its shape combining features of both spider and squid under an armor of rugged rock. While stone protuberances gird its upper portions, below it is a thing of angry red flesh and soft pink tendrils. Two gaping orifices full of tiny barbs split its lower body—a mouthlike slit surrounded by numerous narrow red eyes and, above that, an oozing alien aperture.

SQ stone step
Gastrolith (Ex)
Once every 1d4 rounds, an irlgaunt can violently regurgitate a clot of brittle stone and digestive acids. This gastrolith is treated as a thrown splash weapon with a range increment of 30 feet. In addition to damaging any creature struck (as noted above), any creature within 10 feet of the point where the gastrolith strikes (whether a creature or a grid intersection) takes 1d6 points of acid damage. A gastrolith that misses its target hits a nearby point, just like a normal miss with a splash weapon. An irlgaunt has a separate orifice for ejecting gastroliths. Thus, it can make a ranged attack in addition to all its normal melee attacks.
Stone Step (Ex)
An irlgaunt can move through any sort of natural difficult terrain at its normal speed while in rocky or subterranean terrain. Magically altered terrain affects an irlgaunt as normal.
Environment any mountains or underground
Organization solitary, pair, swarm (3–12)
Treasure standard
Irlgaunts are large, spider-like aberrations that lurk in mountainous regions and vertical subterranean chasms. While large and imposing, these arachnid-like beings are deceivingly agile, their reflexes fast and movements swift, similar to the darting motions of a hunting insect.
Irlgaunts are as quick-witted as they are nimble and have a strong grasp of strategy and tactics. In some areas the beasts are recognized for their eerily patient predations, hiding amid jagged rocks to attack prey and ejecting crippling blasts of rock and digestive acids upon their victims. Irlgaunts typically attack travelers scaling mountain paths with steep cliff sides, using the hazardous terrain to knock unstable hikers to their death, then skittering down the sheer cliff faces to lap up the fleshy pulp below. Most irlgaunts stand between 11 and 13 feet tall and weigh around 3,000 pounds.
Irlgaunts are powerful carnivores that eat most things but seem to have a strong preference for the taste of humanoids and mountain rams, taking special enjoyment in the consumption of bone, horn, and marrow. An irlgaunt's gizzard, located near its upper orifice, is powerful enough to grind rock, creating shards of stone which the creature fires from its mouth. The resulting stone shards are combined into gastroliths— sizable, dense spheres of sharp stones veined with jellified digestive acids. These gastroliths not only help the creature grind apart the hard substances it digests, but also can be shot forth as weapons, felling and pre-digesting sizable or even flying prey. Gastroliths are under constant pressure within an irlgaunt's body and, once shot forth, prove quite fragile. Upon impacting a victim or any other surface, they shatter in a rain of rock shards and hissing acid.
Irlgaunts are found on and around mountains, especially near narrow trails used by travelers, mountain dwellers, or herds of sure-footed animals. The rocky environment they inhabit matches the colors of their bodies, and their uncanny ability to blend into the terrain and attack from unexpected angles makes them skilled ambush hunters. The tough limbs of an irlgaunt end in nimble, muscular tendrils. Along with being able to seek out and cling to nearly imperceptible flaws in stone, these tendrils also secrete a potent, stone-digesting acid much like that found within the beasts' gizzards. This acid allows irlgaunts not only to burn holes into solid stone, but to shape stone into whatever form they desire.
Irlgaunts live for up to 300 years and reproduce asexually every half-century. They take special care to protect their offspring for this reason and watch over them for about a year, at which point the adolescent reaches maturity.
Habitat & Society
Irlgaunts are not particularly social creatures, but they work together when doing so is mutually beneficial. In smaller numbers, irlgaunts are more likely to live in more remote areas, while larger groups may occupy more commonly traveled mountain passes.
Irlgaunts sometimes share their habitat with giants native to the region, but do so through an unspoken truce that holds little weight. A single giant walking through an area of several irlgaunts, then, is no safer than a solitary irlgaunt prowling a region populated with giants. Yet neither group goes out of its way to provoke a dangerous feud with its powerful, mountain dwelling neighbors— as long as the other group is generally content to stay out of the way.
Treasure means little to irlgaunts, though if they possess a relic or magic item, they use it as bait for sentient wanderers in the region. For this reason, particularly wealthy and well-guarded travelers or merchants may be able to parley with the aberrations, exchanging riches for safe passage.

A wedding is always a happy occasion, especially for the couple getting married. It is a lovely time to feel the love and joy in the air when a wedding comes around. It is a time to establish a love relationship and further its commitment to another level – marriage.
A wedding is also a solemn occasion where a couple decides to tie the knot – to each other. There are pledges made to one another that must be kept and fulfilled by both parties. Hence, a wedding message is conveyed to the committed couple in the new phase of their lives as they join their hands, hearts, and lives in holy matrimony. The matrimony official or church authority is usually the one to convey the wedding message to the couple getting married.
A wedding message contains words of joy reflecting the finding of one true love for the other to complete the whole. A wedding message can also contain words of advice to the wedded couple as they embark on a new phase of their lives together, respectively cutting off the apron strings of their parents.
A wedding message can be conveyed in a card, poem or letter by good-wishers of the wedded couple, like family, friends, and associates. It would be a message of congratulations, well wishes and joy.
Below is a sample 'Wedding' message letter from a wedding official to the wedded couple in a wedding ceremony.
Sample 'Wedding' message
Rev. Waldo M. Lawrence
Christ Church of the Holy Cross
909 Luke Lane
Oklahoma City, OK 73102

A Wedding Message
Dearly Beloved
Welcome to the holy matrimony between Dave Callahan and Ellen Simmers. We are gathered here today to witness their decision to be joined in marriage according to the matrimonial laws of the land.
It is the strange but good plan of the Lord to bring these two beautiful lives together; one was working in the Emirates while the other at her cozy corner, a place she calls 'home'.
The mailmen must be thankful to be kept working with Dave's and Ellen's constant mail communications. They find that it is more stimulating than the Internet as they eagerly wait for a response from each other; this waiting builds up their feelings and excitement for one another, raising the anticipation and joy that only both of them experience.
Today, they shall be able to talk with one another face to face, but let me encourage you, Dave and Ellen, do not give up writing love notes to one another. They will keep the romance and passion alive in your marriage. We can take each other for granted very easily on a daily basis; as the saying goes, 'familiarity breeds contempt.' Let it not be so with you.
Keep writing words of love into each other's life. Remember your courtship moments. Treat your marriage life as if you are still courting one another. Your love will grow stronger as the days go by.
Congratulations, Dave & Ellen. You are now no longer two but one. By the powers vested in me, I pronounce you, Dave & Ellen, as husband and wife.
God bless you both in your marriage.

Microsoft has hired Tony Prophet, a longtime HP exec who oversaw operations in the computer maker's key Printing and Personal Systems group. Prophet will lead Windows marketing, the Redmond company said this afternoon.
The company said in a statement, "We can confirm Tony Prophet will be joining Microsoft as corporate vice president, Windows Marketing, reporting to Chris Capossela. Tony will focus on growing the Windows ecosystem and enabling our partners to be more successful building on Windows."
He's expected to start at Microsoft in early May.
The hire is notable in part because Prophet spent so many years as a Microsoft partner, and brings that perspective and experience to the new job with the Redmond company.
As the new Windows marketing chief, he faces a major challenge as Microsoft grapples with declining sales of Windows PCs and attempts to catch up to Apple and Google in smartphones and tablets, while expanding further into hardware development.
Thom Gruhler, who previously led Windows marketing, will shift to Microsoft's Applications & Services Group in an unspecified role, according to a report by Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet.

The Indian government managed to squeeze out an agreement from RIM a few weeks ago to allow them, like the Saudis and UAEs did, to monitor all Blackberry communication, including and specifically BES traffic, within their country by means of RIM handing out servers for these governments to run themselves which would presumably have all domestic Blackberry BES data routed through them with all the data as visible to them as it would be to a company's BES administrator. While RIM was putting up a fight about this, they said something along the lines of Well what about Skype and Google?
Well, today the Indian government has set its sights on Skype, Google, Microsoft and Nokia. This is beginning to turn into a free-for-all.
Nokia has already folded, gearing up to give the Indians servers by November 5th. Skype, compared to Google and Microsoft, strikes me as being vulnerable to an ultimatum like this. But Google has demonstrated with the Chinese that not only do they not fold but they can also be the aggressor with large and powerful nations whose demands and apparent hacking attempts to engage in such spying don't sit well with Google whereas, in that case, Microsoft demonstrated that they're opportunists or passive beneficiaries more interested in their shareholders than teaming up to take stands on such values.
So if it comes down to an expulsion threat with a deadline to gouge out such a concession from these companies, my money's on Google standing strong even if that means no longer standing in India.

USB thumb and SSD drives are among the top convenient devices to transfer data from one location to another. Often, individuals and businesses alike use these small devices to store their valuable data. But just like other microelectronic devices, these devices are susceptible to failure and damage. The common causes of SSD data loss include computer viruses, software corruption, natural disasters and power surges, among others.
SSD drives are becoming a popular choice as compared to the traditional hard drives. This is because they offer an improved read/write performance and they consume less energy. In addition, they are cheap and offer efficient heat dissipation. Because of their reliability and hardiness, many high-end laptop manufacturers and I.T companies are integrating them into their consumer products and business solutions.
In the event that you lose your data, experts can help you overcome the challenges associated with solid state drive SSD recovery. SSD data recovery, however, is more complex than the traditional data recovery. This is because, unlike hard drives, SSD contains high-level encryption protocols that increase the security of stored data.
In addition, the solid-state technology uses a NAND-based flash memory which, in other words, is a non-volatile type of memory. This allows the disk to store data for a
long duration without wearing off or getting lost. In fact, the data storage integrity of a typical SSD can be maintained for over 200 years— well beyond your lifespan.
Just like SSD, USB thumb drives use NAND storage technology which makes use of controller chips making data recovery a complicated procedure. On its part, the thumb drive recovery process may take anywhere between a few minutes to days depending on the nature of damage at hand.
Unfortunately, SSD failures are sometimes unrecoverable. Thus, to get the best out of the recovery exercise, it is recommended finding a certified solid state drive SSD recovery expert. This is because, as earlier indicated, SSD features a different data storage mechanism from the traditional spinning HDD. As a result, these data recovery projects require lots of expertise to guarantee a successful and complete recovery.
You should, therefore, focus on hiring experts who are capable of offering a higher success rate while increasing the integrity of the data recovered. Likewise, when your USB thumb drive gets damaged, hire pros to handle your thumb drive recovery and rescue your unreadable device. Failing to adhere to this may dim your hopes of ever seeing your data again.
Nevertheless, there are challenges that may be encountered while attempting solid state drive SSD recovery that include error correction code variables, address line complexity, and proprietary data organization.

New students, new books, new responsibilities. Michaelmas was certainly a challenge after a very long summer. I moved into my first house (with four brilliant housemates) and was busy beyond my wildest dreams, catching up on reading and getting a bit too into being the Arts Officer at my college: running life drawing classes, open mic nights, jazz evenings, an arts publication and 3 arts events as well as promoting theatre and music. You can see what I've been up to on the website I made artsspc.com
Hectic is an understatement!

Whenever I ask this question during a seminar, I always receive lots of, "Cameras, locks, secured front doors." These enhance your safety measures, but they are not your greatest asset. They never have been and they never will be. People are your greatest asset—if you treat them as such.
What do I mean?
Cameras are not your greatest asset because they are reactive and not proactive. All they can really do is record an event. They may influence some to not commit lesser crimes and other unwanted behaviors, but cameras do not stop school attacks and your greatest safety asset must be able to prevent a school attack.
Locks and secured doors are much better than cameras, because they can physically delay a school attack. Minutes matter and the longer we can keep those who want to hurt us separated from our children, the more lives that will be saved. Locks and secured doors are critical for a safer school, but they are not your greatest safety asset.
People can see, hear, smell, and sense impending danger and that makes them your greatest safety asset. People are the only safety device that can initiate direct action to prevent violence and here's the best news. Every school already comes equipped with hundreds of them—for free! All you have to do is ask them to be a part of the safety team and train them how to respond to and report potential threats of violence. That's easy. If you do this, you'll have hundreds of people helping you to prevent violence and your school will become safer—instantly!
Another great and often forgotten benefit to equipping people to be your greatest safety asset is that by doing so you will improve the quality of their day by lessening their fear which will in turn enhance your school climate. Like academics, school safety is connected to everything you do. When a person feels that they have the ability to control their environment, that they are not at the mercy of others, especially those who just want to hurt them, they will feel better, more confident, and more cared about and this makes for a great day and a great school climate. Never underestimate the importance of team morale. It's the only leadership responsibility that has to be tweaked daily if not hourly.
So, install cameras and always secure your doors, but put your faith and effort into your people. They will save the day—if you prepare and enable them to succeed. And…they'll thank you for it.
People are the prize.

Our land saving mission began in 1990, in an office on Prospector Avenue. At that time, Summit County was one of the top five fastest growing counties in the nation. As the pressures of growth and development increased, the need for open space protection was even more urgent. In response, we became a regional land trust with the mission of serving as a statewide resource for land preservation.

The MSNBC host of "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" was speaking to Moore about the filmmaker's decision to contribute $20,000 to bail out Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder accused of sex crimes.
Moore told Olbermann that Assange is a "pioneer of free speech" for posting thousands of secret Pentagon documents about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq onto the Internet.
Then Moore suggested that Assange's arrest was a government plot to smear him. "This whole thing stinks to the high heavens," Moore said.
"The charge is his condom broke during consensual sex," Moore added. "This is all a bunch of hooey as far as I'm concerned."
Assange was arrested in Sweden after two women accused him of rape. In both instances, the women said the act began as consensual but that they changed their minds, one after a condom broke, the other after a condom "was no longer in use," as the New York Times put it.
The exchange between Moore and Olbermann caused a firestorm of angry tweets suggesting Olbermann and Moore were too flippant when discussing the accusations that Assange raped two women.
Many of the tweets were no doubt courtesy of Tigerbeatdown.com, which started an online campaign to shame Moore for his "rape apologism." It also takes Olbermann to task for re-tweeting a link to a story that identifies the women who accuse Assange of raping them.
Olbermann blocked the Tigerbeatdown tweets, then unblocked them, then said he was done with Twitter, for now, anyway.
"I'll thus unblock all blocks, wish you all a Merry Christmas and I'll suspend this account until/if this frenzy is stopped," he tweeted on Thursday.
Olbermann didn't respond to a request for comment.

Australia's largest solar installation at Yalumba
AGL and Yalumba recently celebrated the completion of a Australia's largest solar installation across the winemaker's three Barossa Valley sites.
For the past 175 years, AGL has been a leader in energy innovation. Its most recent partnership with Yalumba is no exception. In 2016, Yalumba engaged AGL to develop a cost effective and renewable energy solution that would help it achieve its sustainability and business performance objectives. The result? The largest solar system installation ever seen at an Australian winery.
Watch the video and join us as we explore this groundbreaking venture.
Here we bring you everything you need to know about the project in five facts.
1. A partnership between two of Australia's oldest companies
After 167 years of making some of Australia's finest wine, Yalumba sought a trusted partner with a similar heritage to create a sustainable energy solution tailored to meet its business needs. Thanks to AGL's expertly designed solar solution, Yalumba has been able to reduce its overheads and ensure that its business is powered, in part, by clean, renewable energy.
2. It allowed Yalumba to preserve its capital
Yalumba took advantage of AGL's solar Smart Plan, also called a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). With solar Smart Plan, AGL designs, installs, owns and maintains the system – and Yalumba simply purchases the energy generated by the system for a defined term. There was no upfront capital outlay required by Yalumba, which gave them the flexibility to invest in other parts of the business.
In addition, Yalumba was able to start saving from the day the system was switched on by paying a low, predictable rate for solar energy – a rate lower than their current grid tariff and one which will continue well into the future. AGL will also monitor and maintain the system to ensure good performance, meaning Yalumba can focus on its core business: making great wine.
3. It's a tailored solution for a unique application
As solar experts, AGL understands the importance of creating a bespoke solution to meet specific business needs.
During the consultation process, AGL worked closely with Yalumba to define and understand the winemaker's business requirements – in order to optimise the design of the solar system. Understanding Yalumba's energy consumption profile was critical in determining the size and layout of the system, to ensure it would help Yalumba achieve positive financial and environmental outcomes.
Just as important to the success of the project was the delivery of the solar system. Installed across three locations over a period of six months, AGL worked with Yalumba at every step to ensure that safety and quality were never compromised – and that the system was delivered to Yalumba's expectations
4. An example of Yalumba's commitment to sustainable winemaking
Yalumba already understood the importance of protecting the fundamental elements essential to creating great wine; it's part of their business ethos and corporate social responsibility. The installation of a clean, renewable energy solution complements Yalumba's 44 existing sustainability initiatives, and cements its position as one of Australia's most sustainable winemakers.
5. It helped Yalumba meet its sustainability objectives
Environmental sustainability is an important goal at Yalumba. AGL's solar system will generate approximately 2,050 MWh of clean, renewable energy annually – which is equivalent to the electricity consumed in 410 average South Australian homes* – and offset approximately 1,080 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year, for an expected 25 years.
*AEC residential electricity use and customer numbers per state for FY2015 (Electricity Gas Australia 2016).

Join the war on waste!
For anyone who has been inspired by the ABC's new TV series, War on Waste (and if you haven't, you can catch it on iView here), there are a few quick and easy things you can do right now to join the fight:
Recycle your soft plastics
As you would have seen in this week's episode, a large proportion of household waste is composed of soft plastics (plastics which can easily be scrunched into a ball in your hand – for example, plastic bread bags, cling film). You might not know that these are able to be recycled through the REDcycle program which operates across Australia and New Zealand – simply bundle up your soft plastics and drop them off at your nearest collection point (often a supermarket such as Coles or Woolies).
· Learn what you can and can't REDcycle here
· Find your nearest collection point here
· If you live in Bathurst, Rahamim collects soft plastics for REDcycle – contact us to learn more or drop your soft plastics into the marked bin when you next visit!
Manage food waste
There are three simple ways to manage your food waste:
Reduce your food waste by planning meals with care so that leftovers are minimised
It seems obvious, but a large percentage of food bought in Australia ends up as landfill, so it's obviously an area in which we could do better: reduce your food waste through careful forward planning and creative use of leftovers.
You might like to:
· Use a food planner app such as Recipe Keeper to plan your meals
· Learn how to store leftovers
- Get some ideas for using leftovers in creative ways
Recycle your food waste by composting or using a bokashi bucket
Composting is one of our favourite things here at Rahamim – it allows you to convert food waste into beautiful rich soil in your own backyard without the need for any special equipment (although you might prefer to use a purpose-built compost bin if you have limited space).
There are tons of resources available online if you'd like to learn more about compost, including how to make your own – you might like to start with these:
· Learn about composting from International Compost Awareness Week Australia
· Learn how to make your own compost from Clean Up Australia Day
Bokashi buckets
Bokashi buckets are purpose-built buckets which allow you to recycle ALL your organic waste (including meat and dairy, which you can't add to a compost).
They are fantastic for city, especially apartment, dwellers, as they are fairly small and can fit on a benchtop or under your kitchen sink
· Learn more about bokashi buckets here
· Buy a bokashi bucket at your local Bunnings or online here.
Recycle (some) food waste using your Council green bin
The availability of "green bins" (often actually green in colour, and usually used to collect organic waste), varies from Council to Council, as does the material they accept. To learn more about whether such bins are available in your area, contact your local Council.

I want to hear some memories about the young Darian Durant and how he turned into the leader and face of the franchise. Was he always a leader or did that come with time? When he got playing time in 08 did the rest of the team see that he would turn out to be the man? Was the D confident in him running the O in 09 when he became the starter? I'm just a fan but I remember being mad that he didn't see the field more in 08. I still remember the play in 08 that he made me learn the name Darian Durant.ReplyDelete
