Replacing ISPs with IPAPs – How well have they done?
The Commerce Select Committee has reported back on the Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Bill (PDF).
One of the problems in the drafting of such a law is how to define what an ISP is. The obvious approach is "provides internet services" but what about a cafe that gives free wireless access to customers? Or a university that provides services to staff and students? The problem is a lot harder than it looks.
The latest report suggests replacing the definition of "Internet Service Provider" with one for "Internet Protocol Address Provider" or IPAP.
This would avoid ambiguity and focus on the function of an Internet service provider that is relevant to infringing file sharing, namely the provision of Internet protocol addresses.
Of course, this does no such thing as anyone providing any form of internet service must provide an "Internet protocol address" to each person using it. It's inherent to the nature of an Internet connection and, once again, shows that Government isn't very good at technology. Edit: This may be trying to protect providers of low level services such as cabling and fibre.
However, when we look at the full definition, maybe it's not so bad:
IPAP means a person that operates a business that, other than as an incidental feature of its main business activities,
(a) offers the transmission, routing and providing of connections for digital online communications, between or mong point specified by user, or material of the user's choosing; and
(ab) allocates IP addresses to its account holders; and
(b) charges its account holders for its services; and
(c) is not primarily operated to cater for transient users.
A discussed, the inclusion of "(ab) allocates IP addresses" seems a bit unnecessary but overall the definition seems to hold up under scrutiny.
- Orcon and other ISPs would obviously be an IPAP.
- Cafenet supports both transient and account-based users. Should it be an IPAP?
- Universities and libraries would not be an IPAP because of (b) (there is no direct charging although student fees do include provision for services).
- Someone sharing a connection with their friends would not be an IPAP because of (b).
- Citylink would be an IPAP. (Should it be? See discussion in comments.)
- The local coffee shop would not be an IPAP because of (b) and (c).
- Would an Internet cafe be included? They do charge, the users vary between transient and regular.
- Mobile data from Vodafone/Telecom/2 Degrees will not be included for now, because a separate clause delays their inclusion until 1 August 2013.
How have they done? Please help.
Can you think of any cases:
- Where a person or company will be included as an IPAP that shouldn't be?
- Where a person or company that should be an IPAP won't be?
You say Citylink would be an IPAP. I'd assert that they fail on (ab) – they don't supply IP addresses to their customers for their Layer 2 services.
There are also ambiguities about CafeNET – some customers are transient, some aren't.
What is meant by IP addresses? Publicly routable addresses? RFC1918 addresses that get NATed? IPv6 addresses? Will we have IPv6APs as well? :-)
Unsure if Citylink can escape that easily. WIX certainly provides addresses for customers (and, unless there's been a substative change in structure, Citylink is WIX for all intents and purposes), out of 18.104.22.168/23.
Given the lack of conditions on IP Address I'm assuming it's taken as the whole 32-bit IPv4 space and the whole 128-bit IPv6 space. Also taken as read that ISPs who allocate a /64 to end users are covered, by the assumption the plural is implied by the singular.
All WIX users are Citylink users but not vice versa.
WIX is an optional extra for a very large number of CityLink customers.
The address range 18.104.22.168/23 is not globally routed – does this change things?
What if I use IPX addresses on a Layer 2 Ethernet service?
(Replying to myself since I can't reply to Andy, nesting fail.)
Global routing doesn't seem to be a condition, as the text just says allocates an IP address. You could allocate them out of RFC1918 and that would still count, even tho that's not globally routable either.
IPX over L2 would bypass this clause as would other L2 features like providing dark fibre, QinQ etc etc to customers. You're not allocating Internet Protocol Addresses (as per the text of the bill, that's the only definition there is.)
Note that the definition of IPAP in other regards isn't Internet-specific, just that it provides "digital communications" between places of the user's chosing. I (am not a lawyer and I) think it probably could be stretched to Citylink, but it's unlikely Citylink would ever be targetted.
It is somewhat bizzare it's broad-based in one clause and extremely technology-specific in another.
I wonder about internet cafes..
Certainly they do business with transient users, but I expect that some of them also have regular users, who have accounts. Is there a percentage threshold for "primarily"?
Cafenet is an interesting case, I have an account with cafenet (not simply an anonymous code ala the WCC libraries (still?) used to), I am being charged for it, but I'm not what could be called a regular user. Am I transient because I use it rarely, or am I not because I can be uniquely identified from my account name?
I'm looking at that and wondering how to subvert it.
It looks like, if you offer a NAT proxy instead of direct internet access, you're fine? Or, perhaps you need to go a bit further and have a non-IP network inside with a gateway to IP. Are we going to see a return of NETBIOS to avoid stupid copyright legislation? :)
I wonder what "incidental" means… Would a high school offering IP access to their boarding students be considered an IPAP?
Someone sharing a connection with their friends would not be an IPAP because of (b).
(a) offers the transmission, routing and providing of connections for digital online communications, between or mong point specified by user, or material of the user's choosing; and
(ab) allocates IP addresses to its account holders; and
(b) charges its account holders for its services; and
(c) is not primarily operated to cater for transient users.
I offer the transmission, routing and providing of connections for digital online communications, between or mong point specified by user, or material of the user's choosing.
I supply internet/phone services to my household at a cost, that is I charge them for access to my internet connection.
I also allocate IP addresses to these people. There is NO DHCP on my network, reason is that I monitor and charge for their data via their assigined IP
I dont have transient users on my network
Does this make me an IPAP?
Of note is that I am not a business as such but do own/host over 15 websites from my connection.
So if I as a home cable user let my son in his bedroom use the Internet by giving him an IP address on my broadband router and he pays his share of the monthly bandwidth does that make me an Ipap?
You're not operating a business, Jack, so no.
I think it looks decent as a definition.

An Illinois health planning board on Tuesday approved a plan to close Oak Forest Hospital and convert it into an outpatient center.
The 7-1 vote was a change-of-heart for the board, which in May denied the county's first request to close the hospital. There were several vacancies on the board during the last vote. Gov. Pat Quinn has since filled them.
County officials hope the closure will save money -- about $25 million per year. Oak Forest Hospital continues to operate for now, but with stripped-down services.
Changes to the facility will happen quickly. The county plans to end immediate care and inpatient services as of Sept. 1, the Southtown Star reported.
A report from the Illinois Department of Public Health says closing the hospital would increase shortages of intensive-care and long-term care beds in the already underserved area.

Tennessee OKs Grad Test Appeals
Tennessee legislators have passed a law authorizing the Board of Education to allow students who narrowly miss passing the state graduation test a chance to earn test bonus points based on their classroom performance.
Passage was due largely to the efforts of one parent, Regina Crockett, whose special needs daughter had not passed the test and was facing denial of a diploma, even though she was an honor roll student. Crockett worked to obtain sponsors and to educate lawmakers.
Gary Nixon, Executive Director of the Board, explained that the Board has not yet issued guidance on how to implement the appeals process. He noted that the Board is being asked to raise the cut-off score on the test and may consider both issues together.

Thread: Design Problem
Design Problem
Im having a bit of trouble with designing a class. I dont need any help with the code or methods just the design. Here is the scenario, I am asked to design a Combination class, all the Combination class does is take a number and return an ArrayList of Integer containing position, ie 1 would produce an ArrayList containing 1, 2 would return ArrayList containg 2, 3 would return an ArrayList containing 1 2 ect.
Ok the Combination class gets implement as explained, then i have 2 more things i want to do with my combination class. I want to add the option where the user of the class can send a collection of numbers to test against the combination numbers and if it finds they are the same size then zap it, the next option allows the user to send a collection of numbers and check against the numbers in the Combination numbers if one is the same zap it.
The question is then would you put the 2 methods inside the combination class, making the class a bit clunky, make a subclass of combination and place the methods in their or make an interface with these methods for any subclass of combination implement if needed, or any other design im not aware of.

Regarding your combination class, say the number is 5, then you want to build an ArrayList with elements of 1,2,3,4. Am I correct?
If the number is 5 the combination would return the binary representation, i.e 1,3 would be 5. You can think of 1 and 3 as represinting set bits in the binary number 5. I should of been more clear. I was thinking in design terms, the Combination class is quite nice and it seemed a shame to place some obscure methods inside. I need these 2 methods but was wondering how to implement them in a design sense. If push comes to shove they can go inside the combination class. Thanks for your quick reply

That's bit positions of the string representation, something like 0101 from the right-most side?

"Scandal" had its fifth season premiere on Thursday, and Gossip Cop gives us a full recap! Here are the most important things to know about "Heavy Is The Head," the first episode of season 5.
The show began with Olivia and Fitz loved up before a state dinner for the queen and the new American-born princess of Caldonia, where he toasted to "new beginnings" and attempted to make a deal for a naval base. Mellie was kept away from the event, and Olivia denied to Abby that she was back with Fitz. She surprisingly related to the princess, who spoke of the awful judgment she receives for marrying into royalty. Tragedy stuck afterward when the princess was killed in a tunnel-set car accident reminiscent of Princess Diana's death.
The queen enlisted Olivia's help to protect the royal family's privacy, as well as the late princess' dignity, particularly after photos were taken of her dead body. Olivia worked to convince outlets not to run the photos, while Quinn paid off all of the paparazzi but one. Olivia suggested the prince instead be photographed at the morgue so the papers would run that instead, and discovered the unfound photographer was actually a hacker who likely caused the crash, purposefully committing murder.
Mellie confronted Elizabeth about being banned from the state dinner, and ordered the new chief of staff to not prevent her from any more appearances with Fitz. They had words about their sordid history, and Elizabeth told her Fitz would indeed NOT be at her senatorial swearing-in. Meanwhile, Abby tried to keep Sally at bay, as she was convinced something was up between the First Couple.
Olivia actually convinced Fitz to go, saying he "owed" it to his wife given her accomplishment and all the times she's stood by him. He ultimately went, and they played happy couple for the cameras. After, Mellie told him of the regret she feels for contributing to the jurors' deaths, believing his coming was a sign he wanted to reconcile. Instead, he shocked her by giving her divorce papers, and warned that fighting him on it would lead to an epic war with "mutually assured destruction" if she didn't sign.
Olivia was pretty shocked, too, when Fitz told her the divorce plan, but he explained that the princess' death showed him that life is short, and being together is far more important than getting his approval rating up. She reluctantly agreed. After, with David's help, Olivia continued investigating the princess' apparent assassination, and questioned why she and the prince spent so much time apart. She quickly realized that the princess was having an affair with her bodyguard, who also died in the crash.
Olivia became convinced the prince was behind the deaths, and wanted him prosecuted on U.S. soil before he could leave the country, but Fitz refused to move forward on waving immunity for the royal, not wanting to jeopardize his naval base. After a big fight, she returned home to find Huck struggling, and tried to find out what happened between him and Quinn. He said he needed to be "fixed," and Olivia admitted she didn't know how to do that.
Elizabeth concluded Fitz and Olivia were back together based on their "lovers' quarrel," and told Abby she would not be keeping that secret. Abby, of course, was just as dumbfounded, since Olivia had earlier denied it. Meanwhile, Mellie went to see Cyrus, begging him to try to get his job back and "talk sense" into Fitz so they're not "all finished." He, however, refused to help her, still hoping Fitz will would ask him back if he disassociated himself from her, and Mellie broke down in tears about Fitz's "hatred" of them.
David secretly gave Olivia the princess' autopsy report, revealing she was pregnant, and warned her that the official cause of death would be explained as an auto mechanical error. Olivia went to the queen with her suspicions about the prince being responsible, and she swore her son was innocent… and confessed that she was actually behind the deaths, because she knew the princess was carrying the bodyguard's baby and wasn't loyal to the family. A disgusted Olivia wanted to get "justice," but the queen pointed out her diplomatic immunity and the non-disclosure signed when she was hired.
When Olivia returned home, she was surprised to find Huck MIA. A newspaper cover, however, sparked a brainstorm, and then, just as the princess' body was being loaded onto the royal plane during the queen's farewell, the prince revealed to the queen that Olivia told him everything, because the non-disclosure didn't apply to him. He told his mother she would immediately abdicate the throne for "health reasons," or he would tell the world what she did.
The episode neared its end with Huck going to Jake for help, and Fitz griping to Olivia that his naval base plan was dead thanks to the royal change of power. Liv said they needed work boundaries, but he suspected she was really just upset about his desire to go public with their relationship. "The minute the world finds out about us, we stop being you and me and we become a spectacle," she told him. Asked how they "do this" then, she said she wants "us" but wants to "slow down" so their own problems are "fixed" before the "world is watching." Otherwise, she warned, they would not "get out together," because public life would "destroy them."
As she cried, he promised to wait until they were both ready. Just then, Abby interrupted them as Sally's news report aired, announcing to the world that Fitz and Olivia were together, with photographic proof to boot.

1635: THE CANNON LAW – snippet 58:
They shot the bolts and opened the big double door wide in front of Frank. He stepped out, not letting himself have any time to chicken out. The street was dark, apart from where light spilled out from the couple of other buildings that were occupied around here. Frank's first guess had been off. There were maybe a dozen guys out there. All of them at least half drunk, if not more. A couple had been stood right by the door, and having it open in front of them had clearly come as a surprise. Well, Frank thought, don't waste it.
"What are you doing, you sons of whores?" he roared, stepping right up to the nearest drunk.. The guy looked like he'd been stunned. Certainly not about to call Frank's bluff.
Some of the others weren't so taken aback. "Whoremonger!", "Pimp!" and "Pervert!" were the few Frank could pick out. His grasp of Roman idiom wasn't good enough for more than the basics of the local swearing.
"Yeah, says who?" Giulio shouted. Bellowed, rather.
"Yeah, show yourself!" Frank shouted.
He really wasn't happy about this. The whole stand-up-to-a-bully thing just wasn't his scene. Back down and take elaborate comedy revenge later, that was his style, but it just wasn't going to work here and now. Time to find out if confrontation worked.
A moment's tense silence… Not right away, it doesn't, Frank thought to himself. Aloud, "Come on! You got a problem with me, step right the fuck up." He pointed at the ground in front of him. He wasn't sure why, he just thought he'd seen it on TV one time.
More silence, a couple more shouts from the back of the crowd, calling him a pimp and a few other things. He looked around. Most of them had drifted closer, and enough windows were opening that Frank was starting to see faces instead of just pale, unshaven blobs. He didn't recognize any of them, and a dark suspicion began to form.
Behind him, he heard Dino say, "You want we should break some heads, Frank?"
"Yeah, say the word," Giulio added.
"I shall probably regret this," came Piero's voice, and the sound of something steely slipping out of a scabbard, "but I do not feel that I can let this pass without intervening."
Something about that last bugged Frank a little, but he wasn't going to worry about it now. "No, guys," he said, doing his best to imitate his father-in-law doing the mafia-don act he put on for Murano's low-life. He held up a hand. "I see how this is. You guys," he said, waving a hand at the gang in the street, "I see how it is. You got your money, you did what you came for, go collect your pay. It's over. And next time, you take the money, you come here and have a quiet drink, and go back and just say you did it, okay?"
There was a pause. "What about all that stuff you wrote?" came a voice from the back.
There was always one, Frank figured. "I never wrote it," he said. "And I wouldn't. Only guy gets to fuck my wife is me, you hear?" he shouted, grinning. "If you saw her, you'd understand why I feel real strongly about that."
That got a few grins. Hey, it's working. He decided he'd strike while the iron was hot. "I figure you all got someone you feel that way about too, and I ain't going to mess with that."
"But you wrote -" said the heckler, and Frank noted that he was staying in back.
"I—WROTE—NO—SUCH—THING!" he roared at the top of his lungs. "The bastards are trying to get you angry at your best hope of getting what's coming you, is all. They've seen what the Committee's done in Germany and they don't want it happening here! You think some stinking Spanish nobleman wants to see you doing well? When he's getting fat off your hard work?"
There was a round of muttered "nos," although Frank would have guessed that most of these guys hadn't done a day's work in their lives.
"Right!" he pressed on. "So maybe they want to tell you a few lies and get you mad at us over bullshit! That's what it is. Nothing but fucking bullshit. Now, you guys going to go home, or come in for a drink, or what?"
In the end, most of them drifted off. A couple of them came in for a couple of drinks, but seemed kind of embarrassed, and the regulars didn't exactly make them feel welcome. Frank wished he could fix that. If he could just get a few of these fellows on his side he'd have someone who could tell him what the hell was going on with all this rent-a-mob stuff. It wasn't like it was even doing much harm, apart from the odd rock getting thrown and Frank having a hell of a repair bill. As it was, all he could get out of them was that some guy had offered them a bit of money and a skinful of drink to turn out and throw rocks at Frank's Place, and some guy had passed around the handbills and gotten quite irate about the whole sharing-of-women thing. And that was it, apparently. Two of them had 'worked' for these guys before, and they were usually in one of the taverns on the via Ripetto picking up warm bodies for this kind of thing. There were some guys all but making a living at it.
Still, it was more than he'd got up to now, through Benito asking street kids. And he wondered if they'd be dumb enough to let, say, Dino or Fabrizzio join one of their hired crowds. That would get them a lot more information, assuming he could drill the Marcoli boys with the absolute necessity of keeping their yaps shut and not arguing with whatever bullshit they were asked to shout or hand around.
He decided he'd sleep on it.

Pies, Cobblers, and Crisps
August 13, 2015
Small bites for a festive time. The photo shows tarts served at the NARBA conference in Ventura, California in 2018
These were prepared using a different, nut-based shell. Also delicious!
Pastry: 2 cups all-purpose flour or use half whole-wheat pastry flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
¼ tsp. salt
1 hard-cooked egg yolk
¾ cup unsalted butter,chilled
¾ cup ice water, approx.
1 cup cream cheese softened
1/3 cup milk
4 Tbsp. superfine sugar
2 cups whole berries
½ cup currant jelly, melted.
1Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2Mix flour, sugar and salt together in mixing bowl.
3Chop in egg yolk, then cut in butter
4Sprinkle with water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing quickly with a fork after each spoonful.
5Add only enough water so dough holds together and can be formed into a ball.
6Rollout the dough as for pies, but cut individual circles about 1 inch larger than the tart pan.
7Fit the circle into the tart pan, folding the excess dough evenly under the edge to make ridge.
8Flute the edge with your fingers or crimp with the times of a fork.
9If you don't have a tart pan, you can make tart shells on inverted muffin tins.
10Bake for 10 minutes and cool before filling.
12Beat the cream cheese, milk, and sugar together until light and airy.
13Spoon a small amount into the bottom of each tart shell and arrange berries in a pattern on top.
14Pour melted jelly on top of each tart and refrigerate until ready to serve.
From the Great American Pie, by Judith Choate, Simon &Schuster, 1992.

The WP reports today that Obama has "thrown away the script" in Ohio, turning from his stump speech to a series of town hall meetings.
Ohio and Texas are tight. The contest is too close to call. This is, for a campaign, a "red phone" moment.
Note how Obama responds.
Instead of an array of tactical shifts in persona, Obama shows the strength and fortitude that he has demonstrated all along--in a kind of reverse Rove (recall that Rove was famous for taking his adversary's greatest strength and attacking it) taking his greatest ability and putting it to the side, moving from score to improvisation, to further answer the questions of the people--something he has done all along the campaign trial, but now is putting aside his greatest strength to emphasize.
Note what he could have done: He could have gone on the attack, derogating Hillary's past through the ad hominem methods all too recently seen. He could have attempted to change the presentation of his personality, in order to find the persona that consultants recommend, changing his tone, his emotions, shifting through traits like a anxious shuffle through a deck of cards, searching for the combination that would meet the seeming demands of the day. In a moment of pressure--at 3 .A.M.--he could have responded with panic and artifice.
Instead, he moves *away* from his strength, and presents himself simply before the people.
This is judgment, which arises from a known and consistent self. It does not arise, despite experience, from a self that uncertain, fearful, and therefore driven by fear, to change under the pressures of the moment.
This is what will count when genuine moments of crisis occur in our future evenings, in our 3 A.M. moments, and in the early dawn.
-Dr. Alan J. Lipman

Anzula Cloud
Fast-forward to the June TNNA show this year, where I found myself gushing in the Anzula booth as I squished many a yarn skein. They kindly allowed me to take a skein home, and after much debate, I chose a skein of Cloud in Seaside. I didn't yet know that I would be using it to make several swatches in addition to the design I'll be making, but either way, I don't have to worry much about running out of yarn - each skein boasts a whopping 575 yards.
I started by casting on for a knit swatch using some US#1 Karbonz fixed circular needles. After working in stockinette for a bit, I began to get bored and decided to pull out a stitch dictionary to spice things up. There was a lotus blossom lace pattern I've been eyeing from The Stitch Collection that was absolutely begging to be knit in Cloud. Again, don't let the softness of the skein fool you: your lace project will look stunning in this yarn. Even as I was knitting it, I had to stop to admire the lovely stitch definition - and then I blocked it and was even more in love!
Next, I decided to try my hand at a crochet swatch. I'm still pretty new to the world of crocheting, and since re-learning via a Craftsy class, I've mostly used my skills to make amigurumi critters and little else. It's been years since I've attempted a granny square, though that is how I originally learned to crochet (never mind the fact that I promptly forgot!). I happened to be leafing through one of my vintage crochet pattern booklets and saw a granny square diagram that I thought I could handle and grabbed a size G aluminum crochet hook. I was a little worried that this would be way too big since the yarn is so fine, but it ended up being absolutely perfect.
I was a bit surprised by how much I enjoyed crocheting with this yarn - and again, the stitches all looked so well-defined, only to be helped along by a nice blocking in Eucalan. I haven't published any crochet designs (yet), but I may have to do so soon - with such excellent yardage, Cloud is the perfect choice for crocheters who would like to add a little luxury to their routine.
Finally, I broke out my Zoom Loom to whip up a quick woven sample. Since the other two swatches showed hints of subtle color variation, I thought for sure this would be the case for the woven swatch, but Cloud surprised me yet again: the color variations appear to blend in to create a nearly uniform-colored woven swatch. If I look closely enough, I can begin to see hints of variances, but the overall effect is surprisingly consistent. Of course, a small 4" woven square will behave much differently that a larger woven piece, but I still think it's an interesting phenomenon, especially alongside its knit and crochet cohorts.
Fiber Content: 80% Merino, 10% Cashmere, 10% Nylon
Yardage: 575 yards
Weight: Light Fingering/3-ply
Recommended Needle Size: US#1-US#4

November is conference month, and Mariann gave two talks about her past and current ethnographic research interest in the anthropology and sociology of sport. First, she attended the annual meeting of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport in Windsor (Ontario), where she presented her research project in a panel called "Strengths Matter: Framing Sport within a Strengths and Hope Perspective." Mariann`s talk addressed the greatest challenge in the post-Franco era to Spain's constitutional unity: the Catalonian independence movement, and its use of culture for nation building. The independence movement helped build support by using a 200-year-old folkloric sport, the building of human towers (castells). Mariann spent nearly two years in Catalonia between 2014-2016, joined one of the many local human tower teams, and helped build hundreds of towers. She found that the Catalan secessionist movement drew from the human towers' performative iconicity, associational culture, and affective dimensions to rally disparate social groups behind independence. The operative values of human tower building (força, equilibri, valor i seny, "strength, balance, courage and common sense"), tower building metaphors like fer pinya "make a foundation," and the sports ethos of collaboration for a common objective feature heavily at political events in the hope of building a new political community. Human towers visualize the strength of diverse individuals working towards a common objective. This talk reflected part of Mariann`s current research towards a comparative approach of Basque, Catalan and Scottish secessionism through sport and physical culture.
Next, Mariann gave a talk at the prestigious seminar series of the Scholar`s Program of Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her talk was titled "Anthropology of Sport: Themes and Perspectives," and addressed her findings on Basque soccer and Catalan traditional sports. The seminar touched upon themes like ethnicity, identity, gender, politics, capitalism and globalization through the lenses of sport. The purpose of the presentation was to popularize anthropology as a discipline among these bright future scholars, and to emphasize its potential for researching modern western societies.

One Day on Earth
Today sees the filming of a global collaborative project; One Day on Earth, which the organisers are describing as the "largest participatory media event in history". It's hot on the heels of Life in a Day, the Ridley Scott, Kevin Macdonald project that I wrote about back in July for which You Tubers were invited to record on July 24th, and at first glance seems barely distinguishable from that initiative.
" Together, we will showcase the amazing diversity, conflict, tragedy, and triumph that occur in one day," the promo explains," If you believe in something, if you have one message you can put in the world's time capsule, one story you can put in the record of history, we hope that you will be inspired, and really go out and find it, and put it in the capsule, put it in the document, put it in our film."
Sounds familiar, but where the focus of the call to action for Life in a Day was "compelling and distinctive" content and directorial point of view, One Day on Earth has a social purpose, or a number of purposes, as the Friends and Causes pages on the website makes clear. In particular many of today's recordings will have a sustainability theme as 10:10:10 (10th October 2010) is a day of action for a number of organisations addressing climate change including 350.org, a partner in One Day on Earth. Another interesting feature of One Day on Earth's mission statement is that the content created today will become a user created shareable documentary archive. That's a major piece of work to deliver, but could be of immense value. Additionally, with one project on You Tube and the other on Vimeo it will be fascinating to see how the raw content and the edited films from the two projects compare.
Writing back in July I thought that, with the producers' star names and the lure of a trip to the Sundance Film Festival for a lucky few, Kevin Macdonald and the Life in a Day team would receive a lot of content. I'm not sure anyone could have predicted that they would be trawling through 80,000 contributions from 197 countries. That's an awesome shooting ratio. The editor, Joe Walker, explains how they're processing that material on the Life in a Day channel.

|Roy Halladay (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Roy Halladay doesn't normally pitch poorly. Lately though, Roy has been pitching somewhat poorly. Halladay burst into the 2012 season with 3 wins in a row for his first three starts. Roy's last win in those first three games was April 16th, 2012 against the San Francisco Giants. Since that start, Halladay has had 8 more starts including today. During that stretch, Halladay has just 1 win and 5 losses, and the Phillies ended up losing the other two games that Roy didn't have a decision in.
Today in St. Louis, it was hot. Halladay normally hasn't been his best in the heat lately. Early in the game, Halladay gave up a Grand Slam in the first inning, and was taken out of this game after 2.0 innings with what has been reported as 'shoulder soreness.'
Unfortunately, the Phillies haven't been exactly forthcoming with injury information this year. Further tests are probably needed to say what exactly is the problem with Halladay.
Ryan Howard is continuing his rehab, though little is being said about how he is making strides to getting back on the field.

Haha, I know that sounds like a mouthful. But this idea came about because of the leftover whipping cream sitting in my fridge after baking off some biscoff baked cheesecakes and I didn't want to bake anymore egg tarts, so a quick search on google taught me that whipping cream may be substituted for butter as the fat component in cakes, so here goes!
For 6 servings, you'll need:
40g all purpose flour
10g unsweeten cocoa powder
(I used black, but you can use the usual)
120ml heavy (whipping) cream (cold)
1 egg
40g baking stevia
(twice the amount if using castor sugar)
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp butter oil flavouring (optional)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
(using 1/2 tsp if not using butter oil)
6 cubes of Cadbury Oreo Milk Chocolate
(or any other chocolate/filling of your choice)
adapted from marthastewart.com
First up, in a clean bowl, whip up your cold whipping cream until stiff peaks form and set aside. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, extract(s) and sugar until the mixture turns pale yellow and thicken. Then, add the egg mixture to the whipped cream in 2 to 3 additions, folding lightly with a spatula to combine.
I know the instructions on marthastewart is to continue beating in the mixer until it thickens into consistency of mayonnaise and add the sugar last, but I find that there's a high chance of overbeating the mixture and causing the whipped cream to separate and you'll end up with butter curds.
After the wet mixture is folded until well combined, sift in all the dry ingredients and fold with a spatula until just combined.
Prepare your 6-well standard muffin tin by spraying them with some non-stick cooking spray, or you may line them with cupcake liners if you wish. Spoon 1 tbsp of the batter into each well and drop a cube of oreo milk chocolate into the centre of each well before covering it up with the rest of the batter. Each well should be about slightly more than 2/3 filled.
Send your cakes to bake in the oven pre-heated to 175 degree Celsius for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted (towards the sides if not you may pierce the melted chocolate centre instead) comes out clean.
Unlike a standard cake using creamed butter, I find these turn up way soften and finer in texture, however, lacking in the usual buttery fragrance (like DUH, there's NO BUTTER!) Perhaps using better quality flavouring essence (and more of them) can be considered, if you prefer your cakes with more flavours. However, having the stuffed chocolate centre totally made up for the lack of strong flavour in the cake itself.
Till then,
Mia Foo

Why do I feel inadequate?
Why do I feel left out?
Why do I feel like I'm never pretty/thin/athletic/put together enough?
Why doesn't my life look like that?
"Where are your eyes?"
Such a simple response, but oh, how it makes sense.
My Fight:
My insecurities have been on the prowl as I start working my way into consistent blogging again, especially as I have considered getting back into fashion blogging. I'm so out of practice!
Not only that, but I am constantly looking at other bloggers on their websites and Instagrams to gather tips and inspiration. However, this search for tips and inspiration can quickly grow discouraging, especially as I grow to realize that I will never be like some of these women who seem to look picture-perfect all the time. I know it's not true, and that they have sweatpants-and-topknot days too, but I also know that my picture-perfect days don't even look like theirs. Not only is my body type and lifestyle way different, but in a life of ministry I know that I will never have the time or money necessary to be like these fashionistas. (Also, who expects that from someone who works full time while being a full-time student?? Psht.)
So why am I looking at them to create a standard for a life and a blog that I already know is completely different than theirs?
So why am I looking at them to create a standard for a life and a blog that I already know is completely different than theirs?
Social media is another relentless source of discouragement. While I typically avoid Facebook and I stop using Instagram every now and again, I still get caught in the trap of comparison sometimes. (Ok, more like, a lot of times.) Especially when it comes to social events and community.
I'm gonna be real, ya'll, being in a community now that I am married - especially as one of the first to get married among my closest friends - has been HARD. Throw in a job that has us on-the-move a lot, and it is even more difficult (seemingly impossible sometimes). Don't get me wrong, this has been an awesome season of growth for Jon and I, and I'm not saying we don't have friends. But when our life looks different than most of the friends we had in our "single life," it's hard not to feel left out.
And don't even get me started on the constant struggle of body image... I'm going to assume we are all familiar enough with this one, and I'll just keep moving...
My Problem:
Here's my point to all of this:
Why do I feel like my life is "less" because of these things? or emptier?
Why do I feel like I'm not cool/pretty/together enough?
Why do I feel isolated or excluded, when my life is just different?
Here's the answer:
I am discouraged because I am looking to others - to the world - for what it looks like to have Real Life.
When I am placing my eyes on bloggers who have "more" than I do, I begin to think that I need more time and money to really be cool.
When I am placing my eyes on people and their fun social lives, I begin to devalue my own stage of life and think that my friends are experiencing life to the fullest and I am not.
When I am placing my eyes on clothes or styles or models, I begin to think that I need to have what they do, or look like they do, to really start living.
When I realized this morning that I have been thinking like this I was a little embarrassed.
Why on earth would I look to these people - most of whom aren't experiencing the Real Life that I want to be experiencing - and I expect them to show me what it's like to really live? That's not even logical! Especially when I have a real relationship with the Creator and Source of all life. Logically, if I want to experience a full life... shouldn't I look to the Creator and Source of life?
My challenge to you:
So if you've experienced anything like I have in the past few weeks or years - the discouragement that comes from seeing others' version of "life" and thinking that you need what they have to experience it too - then I challenge you to reevaluate where you're placing your gaze.
Where are your eyes?
Are you looking to models, Instagrammers, decorators, athletes, artists, bloggers, or other moms/college students/wives/girlfriends to define your standard of what life really is?
Or are you looking to the Creator and Source of True Life who has His fingerprints in every area of your life?
See, when I'm looking to Jesus, He says that He has everything I need or desire.
He says that giving my life away to the people around me is more meaningful than all the possessions in the world, regardless of what the world says I need.
He says that my body image could never make me more or less beautiful.
He says that Real Life comes from experiencing Him and His love more every day, not the amount of social outings I have.
I don't know about you, but I want that Life that Jesus has for me. And I have found that this world doesn't have it.
So why look to the world for what it does not have? I'm going to start looking to Jesus to show me what it is to have Real Life.

Nemesis - An opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome.
Last Monday I had a course to attend in the morning in Guildford,Surrey, which ran until around 11am. This meant I was able to squeeze a 4 mile run in one of my favourite run areas before going back to work.
|Panoramic on the way to St Martha's
The beautiful North Downs way runs through Guildford and offers some of the best scenic views and trails in the south of England. One of my favourite spots is up by St Martha's Church.
The only problem is to get there involves quite a climb, one I've tried on many a training run but have never managed to run to the top and always had to stop and walk.
I have managed it once before in 2011 while running the Pilgrims marathon but that was coming up the hill on a different side.
Where hill training was concerned St Martha's had become my nemesis.
500 ft climb,steep gradient, legs burning, voice in my head telling me to give up...but something today kept me going, maybe it was the recent hillier runs I have been doing? Lucky there was no one around as I screamed blue murder as I neared the top.
*cue the Rocky fanfare music*
I'd done it. St Martha's, my nemesis for a few years.....had been beaten!
This made the run back downhill to the car all the more sweeter on a beautiful warm spring morning.
Other runners may find this hill easier than me, some may not even call it a hill, but to me it was big achievement in my own little running world.
|Nemesis beaten!!!

Eight Mini ALL4 Racing in the top 20
The second part of the marathon stage took the squads not only to Uyuni but also to an altitude of 4,600 metres above sea level. Nasser Al Attiyah (QAT) / Mathieu Baumel (FRA), Mikko Hirvonen (FIN) / Michel Périn (FRA) and Orlando Terranova / Ronnie Graue (both ARG) secured top-10 positions, in the fifth stage, with Nani Roma / Alex Haro (both ESP) coming 11th.
Al-Attiyah again was the fastest MINI ALL4 Racing driver and finished fourth. He completed the stage without having to cope with any problems and only the Peugeots were able to beat him on the fast track. "We gave our very best but following the buggies was anything but easy. Nonetheless, I'm happy with our achievements. On this terrain, the Peugeots are just too fast. Tomorrow is an important day as we will have to contest the longest special stage of the event."
Mikko Hirvonen lost time due to a damaged tyre but was delivered, nevertheless, and came sixth. "In addition, we had to race for several kilometres in the dust of de Villiers, otherwise we certainly would have been two or three minutes faster. Furthermore, I was more self-confident today. I learning more every single day," revealed the Finn. "I hadn't any problems with the altitude but changing a tyre at 3,500 metres above sea level is really exhausting. Today's special stage was the one I enjoyed most in the Dakar so far."
Orlando Terranova finished 10th. "It was a nice stage with beautiful landscapes," said the Argentinean. "We were able to close the gap to Nani but a short time later I got a rather heavy headache. I tried to push, nevertheless, but it was difficult."
Nani Roma also had headache due to the altitude, nonetheless, he finished 11th. "Yesterday I had absolutely no problems with the altitude but today I felt really sick," admitted the Spaniard. "Therefore, the first kilometres went really bad for us. I couldn't find my rhythm and also couldn't sense the car. In the closing stages I felt better and was able to push again."
Tomorrow, the Dakar schedule features the longest special stage of the 2016 edition, with the crews having to cover 542 timed kilometres. In addition, they still will be racing in altitudes between 3,500 and 4,200 metres. The track will be partially sandy and partially rocky.

Transportation research group TRIP released a new study today showing that some of the nation's most cash strapped states also have some of the most degraded roads. According to the study, 53% of urban roads in the New York City / Newark urban area are in poor condition, costing area drivers $640 each year in additional vehicle operating costs. Drivers in California's major urban areas also spend $600 to $756 per year to operate their vehicles because of the potholes, deficient roadways and poor pavement in California's urban communities.
The findings were released today in a report called, "Hold the Wheel Steady: America's Roughest Rides and Strategies to Make our Roads Smoother." Which examines urban pavement conditions, transportation funding and economic development. TRIP contends that nationwide, 24 percent of major metropolitan roads – interstates, freeways and other critical local routes – have pavements in poor condition, resulting in rough rides and costing the average urban motorist $402 annually in additional vehicle operating costs.
"With state and local governments facing looming budget deficits and without a long-term federal surface transportation program in place, road conditions are projected to get even worse in the future," said Will Wilkins, TRIP's executive director.
The FHWA found that every $1 billion invested in highway construction would support approximately 27,800 jobs, including approximately 9,500 in the construction sector, approximately 4,300 jobs in industries supporting the construction sector, and approximately 14,000 other jobs induced in non-construction related sectors of the economy.
Congress is currently debating over the long-range federal surface transportation program as the current program was originally scheduled to expire on September 30, 2009. Following five short-term extensions by Congress, the legislation now expires on December 31, 2010.

60 Great Gigs, 40 Top Bands, 15 Indoor Venues!
Swanage Blues is a not for profit organisation.
Every March and October thousands of music lovers come to Swanage Blues Festivals, where over 100 musicians perform at 60 events in 15 indoor venues. There's superb music, drinking, eating, dancing, fun and laughter across the town and beyond, starting on Thursday evening and going on till late Sunday evening.
Swanage Blues Festivals are essentially Big Town Parties that depend on festival fans supporting the festival by buying wristbands, still only £10 since 2012, to show they appreciate the music and want the festivals to continue. Many of the acts usually charge £10 admission per gig, so only £10 for 1, 2, 3, or even all 4 days is a bargain!
Swanage Blues is a trading name of Blues Roots, a not-for-profit limited company set up to ensure the future of these amazing events.

Philippine budget carrier Cebu Pacific (CEB) reported a 47.6% dip in 2011 net income to P3.624 billion from P6.922 billion in 2010, due mainly to the soaring cost of aviation fuel.
Pre-tax core net income also dropped 41.8% from P5.781 billion to P3.363 billion.
Consolidated revenues, on the other hand, rose 16.7% from P29.089 billion to P33.935 billion as a result of higher passenger volume and improved take from ancillary products.
Consolidated operating expenses grew 34.3% to P30.408 billion from P22.639 billion. Fuel costs, which constitute about 50% of consolidated operating expenses, jumped 55.2% to P15.22 billion from P9.80 billion. The surge was driven by a 39.3% rise in global prices of aviation fuel.
Earlier, CEB petitioned the Civil Aeronautics Board for a fuel surcharge adjustment of P50 to P100 for all domestic flights.
CEB operates a fleet of 38 aircraft — 10 Airbus A319s, 20 Airbus A320s and 8 ATR-72 500s. Between this year and 2021, the airline will take delivery of 22 more Airbus A320s and 30 Airbus A321neos, as well as two Airbus A320s on operating lease agreements.
Recently, CEB signed a lease agreement with CIT Aerospace for four new Airbus A330-300s that will be used for long-haul routes, including to Australia, India, the Middle East, and parts of Europe and the US, starting third quarter of 2013.
The planes will be delivered from next year until 2014.

WASHINGTON - China's potential growth will be at 7-8 percent range over the next decade, given the right kinds of reforms, said Nicholas Lardy, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Peterson Institute for International Economics ( PIIE) and a leading expert on China's economy.
According to the expert, China is the biggest economy in the world on purchasing power parity (PPP) basis, but China's GDP per capita is roughly one fifth of the US level, and given the right kinds of reforms, the potential for catch-up is substantial.
Lardy said at a recent forum held by the PIIE that there are a vast of disparities in levels of China's domestic economic performance as measured by productivity between the state sector and private sector. In service sector, the share of investment by the state firms is higher than private firms, but their returns on assets are only half of the private players.
"If they (Chinese authorities) follow through their commitment to ... open up large part of the service sector to private investment, there will be enormous potential for increase for productivity in service sector," said the expert.
At present, the service sector's output accounted for 48.2 percent of China's total GDP. The increase in the service sector's productivity will give a boost to the country's potential growth.
A latest International Monetary Fund study showed that, with China rebalancing its economy from investment-driven to consumption-led growth pattern, the productivity growth will increase gradually, partially offsetting the negative impact from aging population and lower capital output ratio.
According to Lardy, China's economy is now facing two big risks: sharp property market decline and the rapid credit growth.
However, the expert believed the slowdown in property market is a good thing as China has overinvested in the sector for quite some time. He suggested China should use this opportunity to push forward reforms, and shift the economy from investment-driven pattern to stable, efficient and consumption-led path.
The expert said China has made progresses in rebalancing its economy, listing evidences such as rising share of disposable income in GDP, slightly lower saving ratio, and rising share of private consumption in GDP. Rising consumption expenditure is partially offsetting the moderation in the growth of property investment, said the expert.
In regard to financial risk, Lardy said Chinese authorities have recognized the risk associated with rapid credit growth and have taken measures to slow the credit growth and strengthen regulations over shadow banking.
According to the PIIE, China will continue to slow gradually to 6.9 percent in 2015 and 6.7 percent in 2016.

Back to Basics: Coffee Brewing Methods & Gear — Tools and Toys🔒 toolsandtoys.net
☕ Very nice overview of coffee fundamentals.
I thought I'd put together a "back to basics" guide on coffee brewing. We've certainly covered this topic in a number of ways, so think of this guide as a compilation/remix of all that information.
I would agree with everything in here. It doesn't address the next level topics on espresso, but this is a good starter for doing coffee well.Posted on April 10, 2018 →

Dallas County reported 398 cases of human West Nile virus in 2012. Nineteen people died of the mosquito-transmitted illness.
Plans for the 2013 West Nile season are taking shape. Dallas City Council members and County Commissioners get updated this week.
West Nile season is May through November. The city of Dallas 2013 West Nile Response Plan provides more traps to catch mosquitoes and test for West Nile, and plans to equip one more truck with a pesticide spray unit.
Dallas County health officials want to be ready to go with truck spraying by May 1st. Both plans endorse aerial spraying if necessary.
East Dallas beekeeper Brandon Pollard is disappointed to see a continued focus on spraying. He has argued for killing the larvae before the mosquitoes hatch, fly and bite. He says the mosquito pesticide is toxic to bees and last season's spraying took a toll on them.
"We're not counting our post winter numbers until the latter part of February, first early of March. Like most beekeepers, we lose about a third of our bees every year." Pollard explained. "And with the extraordinary year we've had here with our operation in the city of Dallas and Dallas County, we're pushing about 50 percent loss."
Pollard says that's his educated estimate of his 2012 bee census. County Judge Clay Jenkins, along with representatives from the Centers for Disease Control assessed last summer's aerial spraying. Jenkins says there were no major adverse effects reported to the county, and the kill rate for mosquitoes was very successful.
New this year, the city of Dallas is buying 46,000 dunks, small, biological do-nuts that kill mosquito larvae when dropped into standing water. They'll be handed out at community events starting April 1st. And this year city code inspectors will carry dunks to use them as they encounter possible mosquito breeding grounds.
Next month, the city and county plan to present their emergency plan should a West Nile outbreak be declared again this year.

text: For past few years I have been working on ink drawings that are labor intensive – layer after layer, line after line. Sometimes those drawings take me three months to complete. The basic ornament – half circle – is based on henna tattoo and traditional indian symbol of a peacock.
