"The C.I.A. just went and searched the committee's computers," Senator Dianne Feinstein said on Tuesday, in a speech on the Senate floor. She accused the Agency of sabotaging the oversight efforts of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which she chairs, and thus the separation of powers; engaging in "a potential effort to intimidate this staff," by accusing them of "hacking"; breaking its word; and maybe breaking the law. "Besides the constitutional implications, the C.I.A. search may also have violated the Fourth Amendment, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, as well as Executive Order 12333, which prohibits the C.I.A. from conducting domestic searches or surveillance," she said. The C.I.A. spied on the Senate, and the senator is angry.
She may be about to get angrier. As it happened, John Brennan, the director of the C.I.A., was scheduled to appear at the Council on Foreign Relations soon after she spoke. Feinstein had described an "emergency meeting" where she was informed that "without prior notification or approval, C.I.A. personnel had conducted a search—that was John Brennan's word," of her staff's computers. She said that she'd sent him letters with questions and had got no answers. At C.F.R., Andrea Mitchell, of NBC, asked Brennan about Feinstein's complaints. "As far as the allegations of, you know, C.I.A. hacking into, you know, Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth," Brennan replied. "We wouldn't do that. I mean that's, that's, that's—just beyond the scope of reason."
"She says that there are potentially illegal and unconstitutional breaches by the C.I.A.," Mitchell said.
Brennan didn't suppress a small, wry snort. The appropriate authorities were "looking at what C.I.A. officers, as well as S.S.C.I. staff members, did," he said, thereby suggesting that the Senate might have broken the law. Brennan:
And, you know, when the facts come out on this, I think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and monitoring and hacking will be proved wrong.
"A lot of people"—that includes Dianne Feinstein. So we have a senator and the head of the C.I.A. more or less calling each other liars.
What is John Brennan thinking? Or, rather, what is he hiding, and what did the C.I.A. seek on the Senate committee's computers?
This all goes back to the first years after September 11th. The C.I.A. tortured detainees in secret prisons. It also videotaped many of those sessions. Those records should have been handed over, or at least preserved, under the terms of certain court orders. Instead, in November, 2005, a C.I.A. official named Jose Rodriguez had ninety-two videotapes physically destroyed. "Nobody wanted to make a decision that needed to be made," he told me when I interviewed him in 2012. (He also said, "I really resent you using the word 'torture' time and time again.")
Feinstein, in her speech, said that the C.I.A.'s "troubling" destruction of the tapes put the current story in motion. Michael Hayden, then director of the C.I.A., had offered the committee cables that he said were just as descriptive as the tapes. "The resulting staff report was chilling," Feinstein said. The committee voted to begin a broader review. The terms were worked out in 2009, and staff members were given an off-site facility with electronic files, on computers supposedly segregated from the C.I.A.'s network, that added up to 6.2 million pages—"without any index, without any organizational structure. It was a true document dump," Feinstein said. In the years that followed, staff members turned that jumble into a six-thousand-page report, still classified, on the C.I.A.'s detention practices. By all accounts, it is damning.
But, Feinstein said, odd things happened during the course of the committee members' work. Documents the C.I.A had released to them would suddenly disappear from the main electronic database, as though someone had had second thoughts—and they knew they weren't imagining it, "Gaslight"-style, because, in some cases, they'd printed out hard copies or saved the digital version locally. When they first noticed this, in 2010, Feinstein objected and was apologized to, "and that, as far as I was concerned, put the incidents aside." Then, after the report was completed, the staff members noticed that at some point hundreds of pages of documents known as the "Panetta review" had also, Feinstein said, been "removed by the C.I.A."
The Panetta review was the C.I.A's note to itself on what might be found in all those millions of documents. Apparently, it is damning, too. The six-thousand-page report didn't rely on it; the report didn't have to, because it had the documents themselves. The Panetta review became important only after the C.I.A. saw the draft of the Senate's report and fought back. The agency sent the committee a rebuttal (which, like the report, is still classified); publicly, its officials talked about how the Senate had gotten a lot wrong: its facts were off, its judgments mistaken. Then, in December, Senator Mark Udall, in an open hearing, said that this was a funny thing for the C.I.A. to say, given that its very own Panetta review sounded a whole lot like the Senate report. Or, as Feinstein put it this morning,
To say the least, this is puzzling. How can the C.I.A.'s official response to our study stand factually in conflict with its own internal review?
This is where the C.I.A. seems to have lost its bearings and its prudence. As Feinstein noted, there have been comments to the press suggesting that the only way the committee staff members could have had the Panetta review is if they'd stolen it. The pretense for the search of the committee's computers—where the staff kept its own work, too—was that there had been some kind of security breach. Feinstein says that this is simply false: maybe the C.I.A. hadn't meant for the Panetta review to be among the six million pieces of paper they'd swamped the Senate with, but it was there. (Maybe a leaker had even tucked it in.) And she made a crucial, larger point about classification:
The Panetta-review documents were no more highly classified than other information we had received for our investigation. In fact, the documents appeared based on the same information already provided to the committee. What was unique and interesting about the internal documents was not their classification level but rather their analysis and acknowledgement of significant C.I.A. wrongdoing.
In other words, there were no particular secrets, in the sense of sources and methods and things that keep us safe. Instead, there was the eternal category confusion of the classifier: that avoiding political embarrassment, and basic accountability, is the same thing as safeguarding national security.
Whose embarrassment? John Brennan was at the C.I.A. when it used torture. During President Obama's first term, he was in the White House, and got the President's trust. In his confirmation hearings, he suggested that he had learned something from the Senate report; as director, he has tried to discredit it. Obama had made a decision early on not to pursue prosecutions of C.I.A. officials for torture and other crimes. He gave them a bye. Feinstein herself has been a prominent defender of the intelligence community, notably with regard to the N.S.A.'s domestic surveillance and collection of telephone records. It is bafflingly clumsy of the Agency to have so alienated her.
Feinstein suggested that this was why it particularly enraged her that the acting general counsel of the C.I.A., who had been, she noted, the lawyer for "the unit within which the C.I.A. managed and carried out this program," had referred her committee's possession of the Panetta review to the Department of Justice as a possible criminal act. (There is also an investigation of the C.I.A.'s own role.) "He is mentioned by name more than sixteen hundred times in our study," Feinstein said. (That name is Robert Eatinger.) "And now this individual is sending a crimes report to the Department of Justice on the actions of congressional staff"; the people working for her were "now being threatened with legal jeopardy just as final revisions to the report are being made."
There were crimes, after September 11th, that took place in hidden rooms with video cameras running. And then there were coverups, a whole series of them, escalating from the destruction of the videotapes to the deleting of documents to what Feinstein now calls "a defining moment" in the constitutional balance between the legislature and the executive branch, and between privacy and surveillance. Senator Patrick Leahy said afterward that he could not remember a speech he considered so important. Congress hasn't minded quite enough that the rest of us have been spied on. Now Feinstein and her colleagues have their moment; what are they going to make of it?

Yes, this is true. Although they are quite caloric, raw almonds consumed regularly with their skin and in adequate quantities can be efficient in fighting bad cholesterol (LDL) and can help in lowering its level. Such a benefit is primarily due to almonds' richness in phytosterols that have the power of partially blocking the absorption of cholesterol, as well as their high content of soluble fibers which participate in slowing the digestion of food, and in vitamin E which protects the arteries.
On the other hand, we should recall that the excess of cholesterol in the blood may present a cardiovascular risk factor. Thus, the excess of "bad cholesterol" (LDL) can sometimes lead to clogged arteries. Hence, striving to lose weight in case of excess, adopting a balanced diet, leading a healthy lifestyle, and regularly practicing physical activity adapted to each person can all contribute in normalizing the cholesterol level.

So since my last post I've changed my hair again slightly, to purple/lilac ends (BLEACH London's 'Bruised Violet'), because as much as I liked my previous pink/peach ends combination the vibrant colour was only lasting one wash and I just don't have the patience to keep topping it up! Since the sun seems to have disappeared for a while I thought I'd do an A/W inspired outfit post. Autumn is my favourite season to dress for because I prefer the darker colours and the chance to wear my abundant collection of jumpers.

Philips Launches Mobile TV Device for U.S. Market
the device, which includes tv tuner and channel demodulation capabilities, is among the first to provide live access to digital tv via cell phones, portable media players and similar products, according to company officials.
"philips is enabling consumers to connect to live tv, as well as pictures, movies and music, all while on the move," said analyst will strauss, president and technology analyst, forward concepts, in a statement.
"by supporting widely accepted standards in tv-on-mobile, dvb-h and digital video broadcast terrestrial (dvb-t), philips furthers standardization globally, which will be critical in enabling a consistent user experience that will drive mass consumer adoption in this market."
philips has collaborated with crown castle mobile media to launch its bgt211 tv broadcasting product.
crown castle has committed to creating a nationwide dvb-h network, which philips says it will use to market the bgt211 to consumers in 2006.
"we believe crown castle mobile media's ownership of nationwide spectrum will make our planned deployment of a dvb-h network possible in the united states," said michael schueppert, president of crown castle mobile media, in a statement.
"working with companies like philips, crown castle mobile media anticipates delivering a live video and audio programming experience with digital television and satellite radioanytime, anywhereto consumers' handsets, laptops and portable media players in major u.s. markets."
philips, which launched similar tv-on-mobile technology for european customers three months ago, says it has been sampling the bgt211 to a number of wireless carriers and device manufacturers worldwide.
the bgt211, which utilizes low power consumption for longer battery life, features full front-end digital tv receiver capabilities.
the bgt211 also offers several programming options, enabling support for changing platform standards and other related upgrades, in an emerging market.
philips says it plans to offer a customer development kit in order to speed up the development of digital tv handsets.
to further simplify product development, the company says it will offer optional integrated antennas for use with its bgt211 technology.
philips is one of many companies making strides in real-time mobile multimedia products. qualcomm inc., a digital wireless communications company, along with subsidiary mediaflo usa inc., recently announced a partnership with verizon wireless to offer consumers across the country tv broadcast services in real-time.
mediaflo expects the service to become available some time in 2006, once it begins commercial operation of its multicasting network.
after the network is up and running, verizon wireless will offer customers access to the live service via mediaflo-enabled ev-do headsets, according to company officials.
following the initial service launch, qualcomm says it will continue to expand mediaflo's network to additional markets, in a bid to offer increased access to live multimedia programming via mobile communications devices.
"using the mediaflo technology and network, verizon wireless will be able to offer its customers a real-time tv-like experience on their wireless phones," said dr. paul e. jacobs, qualcomm ceo, in a statement.
"with the mediaflo network, we have developed a wireless multicasting solution that will offer branded content at an affordable cost to service providers."

College chums never doubt Gaudreau's pluck
NEW YORK — Eyes on the Calgary Flames' morning skate, Kevin Hayes scoffs at the controversy.
At how his friend was criticized for getting his nickname trademarked, meaning he'd suddenly become a spotlight-hogger, a me-guy.
Ridiculous, according to Hayes, because Johnny Gaudreau is not like that.
Not even close.
"He's probably the most low-key NHL player I've hung out with," says Hayes, forward of the New York Rangers — and former Boston College teammate of Gaudreau. "He's (so) low key — he doesn't want anyone to know what he's doing or to know who he is. He's the opposite of T-shirts and people knowing his business.
"He'd rather be Johnny Who than Johnny Hockey, to be honest with you. He'd rather have no nickname than the one he has."
But Johnny Who?
In this part of the world — the setting for the bulk of the Flames' trip — there is scant chance of that.
Gaudreau, 21, was engulfed by reporters in the morning at Madison Square Garden. And this thing is just getting started.
Wednesday, the Flames play in Gaudreau's home state, New Jersey.
Next week, he gets to play less than 30 minutes from his house, in Philadelphia.
"Where he comes from … you've probably never been down to where he lives," says Hayes, "but there's not a lot going on there. Everyone … knows who he is. I'm sure he'll be shocked at the reception he'll get in Philly.
"There's already billboards with him and (Jakub) Voracek in Philly and New Jersey.
"They're basically waiting for him to come back."
Then, of course, Gaudreau will suit up in the city where he became a household name.
"He'll get a huge reception in Boston," says Hayes. "I mean, I was nothing compared to what he was in college and I had a pretty big reception (when the Rangers visited TD Garden). Granted, I'm from there. But the best hockey that he's ever played was in Boston."
Hayes and Gaudreau did get a chance to catch up Monday night after the Flames arrived in Manhattan.
"I was basically just sitting (in my apartment) like a little kid, waiting for him to come over," says Hayes. "We were laughing the whole night. He's probably not too outgoing with you guys, but he's a funny kid. He's awesome. Once he allows you into his little inner circle, he's a great guy."
At about this point of the conversation, Gaudreau, impishly, bangs a practice puck off the glass near Hayes' head.
"No one knows his personality … because the lifestyle that he lives is low key," Hayes says. "He'd rather go about his business and have no accolades. But, obviously, he's going to get a lot of accolades."
Gaudreau's already played in an NHL all-star game. He's bound to be a Calder Trophy finalist.
Of those who know him well, the on-ice success is nothing stunning.
Chris Kreider, another BC alumnus on the Rangers' roster, cannot forget Gaudreau's early days at school. This is the fall of 2011.
"He showed up 125, 130 pounds … we thought he was the manager," says Kreider, cackling. "We thought he was going to get killed."
The a-ha moment arrived quickly.
Game 2, to be exact.
The Eagles faced highly touted — and home standing — North Dakota. No one expected it to be pretty.
Especially for the wispy winger.
"A bunch of first-, second-, third-round draft picks on their back end — some really, really big guys," recalls Kreider, chuckling. "And he was just breaking ankles behind the net. He had some very good players getting caught up in the back of the net. Then he was feeding some of our upperclassmen for no-look tap-ins. He ended up having a goal and three assists in his second career game against a team that most freshmen would have been pretty intimidated to play against.
"There were these hulking North Dakota defencemen chasing him around, just trying to kill him. And, as we've learned, that usually is not the way you want to play Johnny. He was shaking guys left and right. We were actually just laughing on the bench at that point, going, 'The kid's pretty good.'
"I gave up doubting that kid a long, long time ago."
For Gaudreau, rave reviews don't only come from friends and teammates.
Igor Larionov penned an article called The Beautiful Game — published online Monday by The Players' Tribune — bemoaning the lost art of dazzling.
"It's easier to destroy than to create," he writes. "As a coach, it's easier to tell your players to suffocate the opposing team and not turn the puck over. There are still players whose imagination and creativity capture the Soviet spirit — Johnny Gaudreau in Calgary, Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews in Chicago, just to name a few. However, they are becoming exceptions to the rule."

Royals fans optimistic after season\'s first playoff loss
Related Story
KANSAS CITY - Even after a loss in Game 1 of the World Series Tuesday night, Royals fans are not hanging their heads.
The San Francisco Giants defeated the Kansas City Royals 7-1. The Giants jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back.
Chris Burford, a longtime Kansas City fan, thinks fans should still have optimism even after the team's poor showing in the first game of the series.
"I feel all right, still. It was Bumgarner tonight, and that guy has been untouchable this postseason," Burford said. "Look at who they've got up coming up, though. A couple potentially washed-up old starters in Peavy and Hudson. We've just got to capitalize on our opportunities moving forward...We'll see what happens."
Burford said he thinks the Royals have what it takes to make a comeback.
"We've got a chance. We've got the bullpen, we've got the defense. We were basically just a little off-track tonight with our usual game plan," Burford said. "We'll see what happens. I'm optimistic, but this (loss) doesn't feel good."
Not all Royals fans share the same opinion. Evan White, a Kansas City native, said, "Since they have not been there before, I don't think they have the experience necessary to be able to take it all the way." He added, "We'll see. Anything can happen."
The Royals and Giants square off in Game 2 of the World Series Wednesday at Kauffman Stadium. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:07 p.m.

SEMSWA's philosophy on floodplain management is defined in our policies and principles as, "Floodplains need to be preserved where feasible and practicable". This is because preservation of the floodplain serves to minimize hazards, provides habitat and open space, creates a more livable urban environment, and protects the public health, safety and welfare. To protect the built environment from damages from flooding, SEMSWA's Floodplain Management Program has a comprehensive program of preventative and corrective measures to reduce flood losses through education, land use regulation, permitting and construction of flood control projects identified through the Master Planning Program.

The Barton Community College women's basketball team battled back from an eight point deficit Saturday then held off Murray State College down the stretch winning 61-60 at the Hutchinson Sports Arena in the Hutch Pawn and Jewelry Classic. The fourth straight victory improves Barton to 5-2 on the season sending the Aggies to their second straight loss having squandered a thirteen point lead on Friday falling by five to No. 3 Hutchinson dropping to 3-3 on the season. The Lady Cougars' next action will come at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday against the junior varsity squad from Sterling College in the first of a four-game non-conference home stand before beginning conference play December 2nd on the road.
Leading by three heading into the second quarter, the Aggies quickly exploded grew the lead out to eight getting consecutive long range bombs from Morgan Fletcher. A three pointer by Kilee Harris coming out of the Barton timeout turned momentum leading Barton to a 15-8 stretch drawing to within one before a late Murray State field goal gave the Aggies a three point halftime edge.
A steal and transition bucket by Regan Unruh set the second half defensive tone and three consecutive Aggie turnovers later Jalisa Jones' trey seized Barton's first lead since midway through the first quarter. Murray State would answer with four straight before another Harris trey spurred a 7-0 run to reclaim the lead on the way to a three point 46-43 edge heading to the fourth.
Back-to-back treys by the Aggies quickly turned the scoreboard to the Aggies advantage but Unruh answered with her second trey of the game burying a left baseline shot in front of the Barton bench to tie it back up.
Barton would go on to build a six point lead holding the Aggies to only one point for the next seven minutes before a Rachel Poke baseline trey ended the drought cutting the deficit to three with 1:40 to play. Working the down the shot clock, Megan Jirak made a huge offensive play on a loose rebound tapping the ball out to the perimeter as the Lady Cougars would take nearly a minute off the game clock but was unable to add to its lead with thirty-five seconds remaining in the game.
A defensive double-team by Harris and Jirak forced the twenty-fourth Aggie turnover of the game giving Barton the ball with just under eighteen seconds and the three-point lead.
Following a Murray State thirty-second timeout, Barton Head Coach Trevor Rolfs made the coaching move of the day taking advantage of a new timeout rule in women's basketball calling a subsequent full timeout out enabling the Lady Cougars to move up the ball into the front court on the inbounds.
Harris was immediately fouled going 2-for-2 at the stripe building the lead out to 59-54 with 15.6 seconds left. Following a Murray State timeout moving the ball to the Aggie front court, the Lady Cougar defense again came up big forcing a five second throw-in violation forcing the turnover. Alexus Bryson then went to the line making the first of two keeping the door open for the Aggies.
Shay Lynn Bass drained a deep left wing trey cutting the deficit in half and then on the ensuing throw-in, fouled Harris sending the sophomore from Protection, Kansas, to the line with 3.8 seconds to play. Rimming out the first charity throw, Harris sunk the second pushing the lead out to four. It would prove to be the difference maker as Amaka Nwakamma's running three-pointer kissed off the glass and threw the net making the final score a one-point Barton win.
Harris led all players in scoring with seventeen points and four assists being joined by Unruh's twelve on 4-of-8 shooting as the lone Lady Cougars to reach double-figures. Jirak just missed her second consecutive double-double performance finishing with eight points and a game high eleven rebounds while Bryson followed her career high seven assists from the day prior with a four assist afternoon.
Nwakamma and Fletcher were the lone Aggies to reach double figures with fifteen as the duo combined for 8-of-14 behind the arc.
Despite a season low 27% from the field, Barton got a nineteen point edge at the charity stripe sinking 20-of-28 while also controlling the boards for an eighteen rebound advantage in part to twenty-three offensive rebounds, nine coming from Jirak.

Glycerin soap
This recipe uses glycerin soap. It's slightly soft, nonscented, uncolored. I prefer this soap in my skincare routine because it doesn't have a rich lather, or anything else for that matter (no dyes, no chemicals, nuttin). Its extra beneficial because it has most of its fatty compounds still intact, leaving you with a natural product that won't dry out your skin.
Why Mint & Lemon?
Peppermint EO's are renown for nourishing and hydrating dull skin while also improving the condition of oily skin. Bam! It also reduces irritation, so it's great for those blemishes. And lemon? It's antibacterial and an astringent, so it's a great way to get deep down clean. It's also supposed to improve signs of aging, so goodbye age spots!
Shred the soap. You're only going to need a tiny bit.
And add it into your hot water. It won't take much for these soft soap crumbles to dissolve, so just give em a little stir.
Once your mixture has a chance to cool down a little add your EO's. I chose mint and lemon, although there are a ton of other oils you could choose from.
Add to your container. I recommend glass, but this is a great way to recycle your plastic containers as well. This one's been used several times (as you can tell) and still going strong.
This mixture is not the typical thick, gooey cleanser that you may be used to. It's mostly water and the consistency reflects that. This is where having a pump will come in handy. Just use one (maybe two) squirts and that's it. Remember, a little goes a long way.
As you can see there are some bubbles in here when everything is agitated, but there's not many. This may take some getting used to, and I admit that I was skeptical at first. But after checking with a few skincare professionals and doing my own freelance research I realized that no suds=the way to go.
Foam is often triggered by the very chemicals that we're trying to keep out of our skincare routine (Sodium laureth sulphate, anyone?) and usually means that there is a surfactant that is stripping away all of the oils on the skin, which is no bueno and often results in your skin producing extra oil to make up for all that was lost.

The first challenge was triumphant. The fan in the heater was shaking the whole unit. I took a part some pieces and tried tightening up some bolts to no avail. I called the manufacturer and he told me to first loosen the spacers, realign the spindle of the fan, and then tighten with the correct tolerance. After two attempts I fixed the heater. It felt great. Rolling with a bit of confidence I started up the closed loop heating tubes that warm the root zone of plants on our greenhouse tables. I have done this before, however for some reason this time I over looked a valve to shut off to properly bleed the system of air. Since there was air in the system it was not functioning properly and it appeared that hot water was coming from where cold water should be, and vice versa. I called the plumber that installed it and told him that it might be piped backwards. Kind of strange thinking considering it has worked for the past 4 years. The plumber came over and showed me the step I was missing. We shut the correct valve, bled the lines of air, and all of the sudden it worked. It was fortunate that the plumber and I have always respected each other so the bill was for a couple dozen eggs. It is really important to have people that will help you when you run into problems. It is even more important to always treat people with respect, especially those that deserve it, because it will come back to help you when you need it. On opening day, after the problems were fixed, we had two chefs, one writer, a nurse, and two farmers beginning the cycle of planting seeds into flats so we can have vegetables to feed our community. It truly takes a great community to gather around food to keep us all in balance.

By MALUM NALU
Deputy chief justice Gibbs Salika has blamed Western province politicians and public servants for the decline of Daru and the rest of the province.
Salika, who is from Western province, said at the launch of several multi-million kina PNG Sustainable Development Program projects on Friday that he hoped the event put politicians and public servants to shame.
He was not present for the occasion, but in his absentia, his speech was read by master-of-ceremonies Roger Hau'ofa in front of Western Governor Bob Danaya, South Fly MP Sali Subam, and public servants.
Salika said the launching of the Daru airport upgrade, Daru wharf trestle upgrade, Daru barramundi hatchery, and the Ta'owo Point unloading facility were all worthwhile projects which should have been initiated by the provincial administration and its political leadership as it was their primary responsibility.
"The launching of these development projects is a testimony of that fact and could not have come at a better time," he said.
"A better time, because this event must put to shame our political and administration leadership.
"Our leadership at the provincial and district level cannot and should not claim any credit whatsoever for these developments.
"Credit must go to PNGSDP and its management and staff."
Salika said Western province politicians and public servants "went to sleep and are still sleeping".
"I hope this launching wakes them up," he said.
"The Western province is a huge province.
"It has a lot of natural resources and I believe it also has a lot of financial resources, it has a lot of money to spend, but I am told that our administration and its leadership do not know how and where to spend it.
"This to me is utterly disgraceful.
"We are failing our people.
"Our education and health services are not up to scratch.
"Our people have no clean drinking water in the village and the list goes on.
"The point I am making is that the large amounts of money the province has should be used to improve our education and health services, and look for ways to improve the living conditions of our people.
"That is the primary responsibility of the provincial government and its administration.
"The province and more so the Daru district needs a new lease of life.
"I hope this is the beginning of new and better prospects for Daru."

History | People | Culture | Festival
Thiruvananthapuram is an ancient city with trading traditions dating back to 1000 BCE. It is believed that the ships of King Solomon landed in a port called Ophir (now Poovar) in Thiruvananthapuram in 1036 BCE. The city was the trading post of spices, sandalwood and ivory. However, the ancient political and cultural history of the city was almost entirely independent from that of the rest of Kerala. The early rulers of the city were the Ays. With their fall in the 10th century, the city was taken over by the rulers of Venad.
The rise of modern Thiruvananthapuram began with accession of Marthanda Varma in 1729 as the founding ruler of the princely state of Travancore (Thiruvithamkoor in the local vernacular). Thiruvananthapuram was made the capital of Travancore in 1745 after shifting the capital from Padmanabhapuram in Kanyakumari district. The city developed into a major intellectual and artistic centre during this period. The golden age in the city's history was during the mid 19th century under the reign of Maharaja Swathi Thirunal and Maharaja Ayilyam Thirunal. This era saw the establishment of the first English school (1834), the Observatory (1837), the General Hospital (1839), the Oriental Research Institute & Manuscripts Library and the University College (1873). The first mental hospital in the state was also started during the same period. Sanskrit College, Ayurveda College, Law College and a second grade college for women were started by Moolam Thirunal (1885–1924).
The early 20th century was an age of tremendous political and social changes in the city. The Sree Moolam Assembly, established in 1904 was the first democratically elected legislative council in any Indian state.[18] Despite not being under direct control of the British Empire at any time, the city however featured prominently in India's freedom struggle. The Indian National Congress had a very active presence in the city. A meeting of the Indian National Congress presided by Dr. Pattabhi Sitaramaiah was held here in 1938.
The period of Chitra Thirunal Bala Rama Varma, who took over in 1931, witnessed many-sided progress. The promulgation of "Temple Entry Proclamation" (1936) was an act that underlined social emancipation. This era also saw the establishment of the University of Travancore in 1937, which later became the Kerala University.
With the end of the British rule in 1947, Travancore chose to join the Indian union. The first popular ministry headed by Pattom Thanu Pillai was installed in office on 24 March 1948. In 1949, Thiruvananthapuram became the capital of Thiru-Kochi, the state formed by the integration of Travancore with its northern neighbour Kochi. The king of Travancore, Chitra Thirunal Bala Rama Varma became the Rajpramukh of the Travancore-Cochin Union from July 1, 1949 until October 31, 1956. When the state of Kerala was formed on November 1, 1956, Thiruvananthapuram became the capital of the new state.
With the establishment of Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) in 1962, Thiruvananthapuram became the cradle of India's ambitious space programme. The first Indian space rocket was developed and launched from the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) located in the outskirts of the city in 1963. Several establishments of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) were later established in Thiruvananthapuram.
A major milestone in the city's recent history was the establishment of Technopark—India's first IT park—in 1995. Technopark has developed into the largest IT Park in India and third largest in Asia and is home to MNC giants like Infosys, TCS, Ernst & Young, IBS Software Services, UST Global, HCL Infosystems etc.; employing around 30,000 people in close to 185 companies. This placed Thiruvananthapuram on the IT map of India and it is today one of the most promising in the country in terms of competitiveness and capability
The citizens of Thiruvananthapuram are sometimes referred to as "Trivandrumites" by some tourism sites and blogging community, though the term is not in common use. Thiruvananthapuram has a rich cultural background thanks to the rulers of erstwhile Travancore, who took an active interest in the development of arts and culture. Thiruvananthapuram has produced several great artists, the most famous ones being Maharaja Swathi Thirunal, Irayimman Thampi and Raja Ravi Varma.
Maharaja Swathi Thirunal was a great composer and played a vital role in the development of Carnatic music. There is a music college in his name in the city - Swathi Thirunal College of Music.

Most of his famous paintings are preserved at the Sree Chithra Art Gallery in the city. The Padmanabha Swamy Temple and the fort surrounding it, the Napier Museum and Zoo, the VJT hall, Palayam Mosque and Church are among the prominent heritage buildings in the city. The Veli lake and Shankumugham beach are home to various sculptures of the noted sculptor Kanayi Kunhiraman. Thiruvananthapuram is a unique Indian City, which greenery and modernity co exist. So many great peoples, including Mahatma Gandhi admired the city's greenery.

The British Library (Est. 1964) was located very near to the Government Secretariat adjacent to the YMCA Hostel.
Thiruvananthapuram has produced great poets and men of letters from very ancient times. One of the ancient poets was Ayyipillai Asan of Avaaduthura near Kovalam. He wrote the famous work 'Ramakadhapattu'. Mahakavi Kumaran Asan and Mahakavi Ulloor S.Parameswara Iyer were the two outstanding poets from this district.
