Since the advent of the modern day workplace with desk and office chairs, we see more and more people sitting for long periods of time. This has become more apparent with clients having the same old story of tight hips, quadriceps (thighs), hamstrings (back of thighs) and buttocks. I have coined it the 'lower body atrophy syndrome', a factor that leads to bad posture and poor movement quality.
The importance of keeping hips and lower limbs (buttocks, quadriceps and hamstrings) active is that it keeps the joints lubricated and muscles oxygenated. The movement of muscles engages and enables you to naturally extend (stretch) and flex (contract) and ultimately promotes better movement quality.
The hips are the foundation of the torso, they stabilises the pelvis and legs, yet very little emphasis is placed on the importance of the hips in exercise and movement. The hips are surrounded by muscles that move in several planes — forward & back (flexors and extensors), from side to side and (abductors, adductors) and opening of the hip (rotators). Sitting for long periods at a time keeps these muscles in a static flexed contraction, therefore shortening and tightening them which can lead to bad posture and dysfunctional movement.
Another problem of the tightening of the hips and lower limbs is lower back pain. The tension on the lower back is caused by the pull of the lower limbs. Everything is interconnected and when muscles become tight that tightness pulls, and in this instance it pulls on the lower back causing back pain.
"…think of them as incidental stretches within your workday"
My suggestion is put in place simple and workable stretch routines and incorporate short breaks into your work day. These are some basic stretches you can do at or away from your desk - think of them as incidental stretches within your workday! Get up and go for a walk, have coffee and lunch breaks away from your desk - be active in body and mind during your work day and you will feel better for it!

About the Event
Motivated by problems that arise in coordinating people with cognitive difficulties, we have been investigating techniques for finding individual and group choices that are (arguably) most preferable given constraints. In particular, we have been studying possibilities and limitations in finding preferred outcomes based only on qualitative information about preferences, captured in CP-nets. Further, there can be constraints on allowable combinations of features of outcomes, which introduces further complications to the search process. In this talk, I will summarize the motivations and assumptions behind our efforts, describe the underlying representations upon which our work is based, and discuss the algorithms that we have developed, along with our evaluations of their performance, highlighting lessons learned and remaining open problems.

Alert: No more gas chamber in Macon, GA
The Macon City Council voted unanimously, last night, to pass its resolution to switch from gassing to lethal injection on or before July 1, 2009.
http://www. macon. com/198/story/381560. html
http://www. 13wmaz. com/apps/pbcs. dll/article?AID=/20080617/NEWS01/80618002&GID=uf+yml3A3XuoZoNx0xHqZzFJDJuSbWGB7Wg7DXj6PKI%3D
The council passed also a resolution to create a fund to collect donations from the private sector to help fund the transition, in hopes the change will occur much sooner than the July 2009 deadline.
Please thank:
Councilman Erick Erickson at firstname.lastname@example.com. Councilman Erickson drafted and introduced the Resolution in January and fought hard for it. He said at the meeting last night that, with this legislation, Macon is 'on the path' to and strives to become a no-kill community.
Councilman Larry Schlesinger at firstname.lastname@example.com. In a brave and selfless mission last January, and in support of the proposed resolution, Rabbi Schlesinger witnessed a mass gassing at the Macon shelter and shared his experience with council members, the public and even the Georgia House Committee on Agriculture at a hearing on House Bill 1060 to ban the gas chamber statewide [a bill that did not make it out of committee this legislative session].
Councilwoman Nancy White at email@example.com. Councilwoman White, among the primary sponsors of the resolution, last night urged the public to continue to put pressure on the City of Macon to switch to lethal injection sooner rather than the July 1, 2009 deadline. Ms. White also introduced the resolution to ban long-term tethering in Macon earlier this year, a resolution that also passed the council by unanimous vote.
These three City Council members have made it their mission to end the preventable, unnecessary suffering and death of companion animals in Macon. Please show them your appreciation by writing.
Please thank the entire City Council for their unanimous support of the tethering and gas chamber resolutions:
firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com
Those of you in cities and counties still using gas chambers, I urge you to contact your County Commissioners and City Council members and ask them to follow Macon's fine example by resolving to ban their gas chambers before being forced to stop by a state law we hope will pass in the upcoming legislative session, winter/spring 2009.
As I've said many times before, anyone can start a campaign to ban the gas chamber and/or long-term tethering (chaining) in his/her county or city. If companion animals are being gasssed in your couty or city or dogs are living chained, we're counting on you to change it. Georgia's animal welfare community is large, vocal and ready to back you up.
Just ask!

Restoring the Marbold farmstead
Saving a piece of Greenview history
To see the old Marbold Farmstead is to want to see more. The imposing brick residence on Illinois Route 29 20 miles north of Springfield dates to the 1850s and has been uninhabited since the 1960s. Passing by its grand edifice, tattered but majestic, you want to pull over and see it up close. If you see it up close, you want to see inside. And if you happen to see it inside, you want to know what it was like during its heyday in the late 19th century.
Thanks to the efforts of The Historic Marbold Farmstead Association, visitors will soon get a chance to do just that. The association purchased the mansion and its surrounding 10 acres in 2012 and is actively working to stabilize and revitalize the site in the hopes of creating a late 19th-century living history farm.
"Marbold Farmstead has an important story to tell to new generations about how people lived and worked on a 19th-century farm," said Lisa Schnell, a Marbold volunteer. "Knowledge of crops, animal husbandry, plant lore, harvesting, food preservation are now all but lost on the modern grocery shopper."
The restoration plan is ambitious. Decades of neglect have taken their toll on the house and its grounds and outbuildings. Vandals stripped the house of fireplace mantels and trim. The roofs of the carriage house, smokehouse and laundry were caving in. The surrounding property was used as a dumping ground for unwanted farm machinery. Yet when members of the association and their supporters look at the Farmstead, they don't see decay and deterioration; they see the magnificence of what the place was, and the potential of what could be.
"Marbold's value to the community cannot be overstated," said Charlotte Wohler, president of the association's board of directors. "From an architectural standpoint, there are no other farmsteads left in the area that have as many remaining outbuildings: ice house, wash house, dairy room, smokehouse, pump house, boiler house, summer kitchen and carriage house."
From an interpretive standpoint, Marbold Farmstead offers rich opportunities for exploring multiple facets of the past, including farm history, immigrant history, community history and the history of technology. The story of the Marbolds, immigrants who built an agricultural and banking empire before losing it all on the eve of the Great Depression, is a story of triumph and tragedy. The story of the Marbold Farmstead, in which a group of volunteers have come together to restore the house and grounds, is a story of redemption and promise.
Marbold in the 19th century
The history of the Marbold Farmstead began in 1847, when Johann Marbold emigrated to America from Germany with his son and two daughters (his wife and three other children had died years earlier). Marbold was a wealthy man by the standards of the day; sale of a family estate in Germany had netted him $10,000. After living in Petersburg for three years, Marbold purchased 200 acres of land near present-day Greenview.
Almost immediately, Marbold contracted with a local architect for the construction of a substantial, two-story farmhouse made of bricks fired on site. The house boasted a parlor, sitting room, dining room, kitchen and five bedrooms inside and a smokehouse, wash house and barn outside. The estate, known as "Elmwood," was one of the largest and most prosperous in the area. John Marbold sponsored several immigrants from Germany who came to work on his farmstead. Today, many Greenview residents can trace their ancestry to one of these German immigrants.
When Marbold's son, Henry Harmon Marbold (known as H. H.), came of age, he assisted his father with the management of the estate. H.H. had been a boy of twelve when he had arrived in America. After receiving an education at Jubilee College, west of Peoria, he spoke flawless English without a trace of an accent. In 1860, H. H. married Margaret Hackman, daughter of his father's housekeeper. The couple had six children, three of whom (Anna, Harmon and Benjamin) lived to adulthood.
Under Johann and H.H. Marbold's oversight, the Marbold Farmstead expanded to nearly 4,000 acres of farmland, much of which was used for grazing livestock. The house expanded too. In 1880, the main house was updated and enlarged to include a two-story front portico with walk-out balcony, a glass conservatory, an indoor bathroom with zinc-lined bathtub and a detached heat plant that sent hot air into the house by a system of underground clay pipes. Across Route 29, Marbold built a race barn and a ¼-mile track to indulge his son Harmon's love of racehorses.
Despite its ornamental appearance, the Marbold estate was very much a working farm during its heyday. Work started at dawn and concluded after dark. Margaret Marbold managed the household tasks of cooking, cleaning, washing and sewing with the help of two hired girls. Five or six hired men assisted H. H. with the operation of the farm. In addition to cultivating crops and raising cattle, hogs and sheep, residents of the Marbold Farmstead butchered and smoked their own meat, made their own butter and cheese, and harvested their own ice.
"Marbold was a self-sustaining farmstead," said Wohler.
Marbold in decline
Johann Marbold died in 1893, Margaret Marbold died in 1903 and H. H. Marbold died in 1915. Subsequently, the housed passed to H.H's youngest son, Benjamin, who was president of the Greenview Marbold Bank (started by his father in 1877). Benjamin moved his young family into the house and undertook a few updates, including building a modern stockyard across the road from the estate in 1922. However, Benjamin's fortunes faltered; the Marbold bank failed in 1927 and his cattle business suffered devastating losses. To cover his debts, the Marbold estate was divided into tracts and sold at public auction.
The house and its surrounding parcel of land were purchased by a man named Carl Miller, who housed his tenant farmers in the old mansion and leased the land out for cultivation. Eventually, the house ceased to be used at all, and fell into disrepair.
After Miller's death in the 1970s, the property was purchased by a Lake Zurich history teacher named Bruce Hansen and his brother, Bob, who had plans to restore the mansion and grounds and open it to the public. Bob, who eventually became the sole owner, replaced the windows and roof and added a new porch, but later realized that the old house required more money and attention than he could give it.
Still, "the repairs Bob Hansen did essentially saved the house," said Wohler. "I credit him for that, even though he couldn't fulfill his dream. If he hadn't replaced the roof and windows, the house wouldn't have survived."
New life for the old property
The Marbold Farmstead has always meant something to its local community. During its heyday, it was a showplace and a gathering place for Fourth of July celebrations. During its declining years, children would pedal their bikes over to investigate the house and its grounds. Residents of Greenview would drive by and wish that the old place could be saved. In 2004, with Hansen's restoration work at a standstill, a group of local citizens decided to step in and do what they could to save the house from further deterioration. They formed the Historic Marbold Farmstead Association and began holding annual ice cream socials and events to raise awareness of and funds for the property.
When the Marbold property came onto the market in 2011, the association took action to acquire it. They incorporated as a 501(c)3 and coordinated an aggressive fundraising campaign to raise the funds to purchase the house, outbuildings and surrounding 10 acres. More than 50 "founders" gave $1,000 each towards the $78,500 asking price. The association acquired the deed to the property on March 27, 2012.
In April of 2012, Landmarks Illinois added the Marbold Farmstead to its list of the Most Endangered Historic Places in Illinois, reflecting the effects of decades of neglect.
"It was in a significant state of deterioration. The interior had been gutted and several outbuildings were near collapse or in ruins," said Frank Butterfield, Landmarks Illinois's Springfield field office director.
Facing challenges from water, insect and animal damage, vandalism, looting, crumbling plaster, and rickety outbuildings, one of the association's first tasks was to secure and stabilize the property.
"We had to tear down and clear the remains of the carriage house, pigeon coop/chicken house and the roof of the wash house for safety reasons. Old farm equipment littered the property to the east of the house so we had it removed and sold for scrap iron. We fenced and gated the property for security reasons. And, most importantly, we rebuilt the soffits, gutters and downspouts on the main house to stop further erosion of the foundations," said Wohler.
"It wasn't very exciting or aesthetically pleasing work, but it had to be done," added fellow association board member Diane Masters. Association members are aware of the desire within the community to see a "pretty house" fully restored with carpets, wallpaper and furnishings. For the moment, however, they have their hands full with the decidedly less glamorous process of clearing out, hauling away and raising funds to purchase vital improvements to security, lighting and climate control, without which the "pretty house" would soon molder away.
Potential for Discovery
The Historic Marbold Farmstead Association has their work cut out for them. The house, while structurally stable, is cosmetically a disaster. Plaster is falling off the walls. Bird excrement splatters the floor in the kitchen. Debris litters the floors of the bedrooms. The house has no functional HVAC or plumbing system, and only limited electrical wiring.
The grounds and outbuildings are in similarly rough shape. The chicken coop needs to be rebuilt. The boiler house is currently a roofless and boilerless shell. The barn, long since gone, is little more than a weed-choked foundation, and the grounds are overgrown and strewn with debris.
Still, there is a unique appeal to the Marbold Farmstead, even in its current state. The place is teeming with opportunities for discovery: when the foundation of an out-building is reclaimed from the underbrush, when shards of pottery and rusted metal unearthed during an archaeologist-led excavation of the former privy, or even when tattered remains of century-old wallpaper are observed on the walls of a bedroom.
It is that sense of excitement and discovery that has drawn a cadre of dedicated volunteers and donors to the task of restoring the Marbold Farmstead. Schnell was recruited by her friend Evelyn Smith, who asked her to come out one weekend and clear brush. A few weekends later she was back, hauling dirt out of the cellar of the washhouse. She has loved every minute of it.
"With every bucket load of dirt scraped away, with every square foot of underbrush cleared back, the farm structures uncovered and restored, we learn more about the daily work and specialized knowledge that might otherwise be lost to time," said Schnell.
With so much community involvement, "the leadership of the Historic Marbold Farmstead Association has consistently made progress at a remarkable pace," said Butterfield. The association was ultimately able to pay off its mortgage three years ahead of schedule, meaning that all its revenue is now put directly back into improving the property. Recently the "north annex" – including the summer kitchen, smokehouse, wash house and carriage house – has been rebuilt, and plans are underway to replace the slate roof of the ice house. Motorists passing by now see scaffolds and sawhorses where there was once only neglect.
"We hear it so often from people in the community: 'I'm so glad you're saving this place,' and 'It looks so much better,'" said Wohler.
The Association has also been active in its outreach to the community. Tours are offered on the first and third Sundays of June through September and by appointment. Each May, students from Greenview Elementary attend Farm Day at the Homestead to learn about 19th-century household objects, grind corn, churn butter and do a hands-on surveying lesson. And, since 2013, the Homestead has hosted an annual antiques show featuring period demonstrations of 19th-century crafts (see sidebar).
Butterfield believes that the association is doing all the right things. "My advice is to continue to build upon the remarkable support of the community and to celebrate their success!" he said.
More help is needed
The Historic Marbold Farmstead survives today because of the dedication and enthusiasm of the volunteers who have come together to donate their time, energy and financial resources to save the site from ruin. Its future depends on the willingness of these volunteers to stay engaged, and on the willingness of others to join them.
There is plenty of work to go around. The Farmstead needs help with the physical labor of clearing the grounds and hauling away underbrush. It needs people with research backgrounds to dig into the documents and history of the Marbold family and estate. It needs people with fundraising experience to help keep the donations rolling in. It needs people with architectural and historical expertise to provide advice. It needs people to give tours of the site. And, of course, it needs financial contributions.
"It really does take a community and its resources to realize what they have and to work to preserve it," said Schnell.
There are no monetary rewards for the work involved in saving Marbold. The association's membership and board of directors are all unpaid, and the volunteer laborers earn nothing more than the occasional blister for their work. Yet there are rewards all the same: in the opportunity for making discoveries about the past, in the pride that comes with contributing one's efforts to a larger cause, the satisfaction that comes with watching progress unfold and the meaning that comes with making a difference to people in the community.
"When you see the faces of kids light up as they do 19th-century farm tasks and learn something they didn't know before at Marbold – there's nothing better in the world," Wohler said.
The Historic Marbold Farmstead is located at 21722 State Highway 29, approximately 20 miles north of Springfield near Greenview.

I doubt Perec was any kind of filmic scholar despite the avalanche of pop culture references in his tomes like Life: A User's Guide and A Void will have you believe but there is a certain "C'est quoi ce bordel" that permeates his best work. A Man Asleep in a way manages to be self-biographical with it's second person prose approaching this unconscious rhythm of writing. Only the barest of essentials are included in the text. The character you're stuck with for 95 pages is this singular, drab, unappealing boring character that's used to deflect whatever emotions you have outwards into the setting. Perec's cipher for no-one is done in the book very well, His lack of detail works well in such a small allotment of time and the focus on Procedure or lack thereof mimics a universal measure that I think most people with any sense of ennui can relate to but what's even more surprising is how the movie through only direct quotations manages to transform this into a bludgeoning critique of the Lost Boy movement and everyone associated with it.
For a first feature Quaysenne & Perec go for a literal adaptation of the text. Every line spoken from it is a direct quote and not much is changed as a translation but what is changed is the form and this is where it gets interesting. The mid 70s proved to be a bizarre transition in French cinema. Godard's dream of a Maoist utopia had died that he'd explore in Numero Deux a year later, Truffaut finished Day For Night which would be his (poor) attempt at coming to terms with the cinema landscape he helped create and independent cinema allowed for a bunch of low budget productions like this. Rather than trying to jump ahead with cinematic advances, Perec works backwards. The opening credits pasted on the Paris suburbs echoes 400 blow's opening of a car travelling around the Eiffel tower but never quite reaching it. It shows a black and white world not of necessity but by choice, the vibrance and promise of the New Wave is replaced with dilapidated buildings and physical/moral decay. This cuts to a pan to the titular man's bedroom adorned with Eschers and Magrittes preserves the worst aspect of Perec's writing and contorts it into a visual metaphor.
This approach decontextualizes a lot of the words Perec wrote in the novel. A narration of the novella tracks over the image, sometimes juxtaposing it and sometime contradicting it. This focus on the second person detaches this from conventional voiceover work. Ludmilla Mikael quotes the book with the passion of reading a shopping list as the man's life is described in laborious yet somehow sparse detail (A five second cut is given to the man's end of year exams while the dust motes on the top of a light switch take four minutes to adequately convey). Yet even with all these parts the film remains surprisingly unconventional despite the liberties it's taking with the medium.
For most of this film the director's sympathies are never clearly stated. Part of the reason is that you get very little sense of him as a character as he wonders round paris letting his body merge with the surroundings but I think there's something far more sinister working at the sides. Most of the contemporary writing I've found on this seem to treat it as a work about the severity of depression and that I can understand. The unique ways that Perec captures the minutely insignificant detail of everyday life in an autonomous existence is a very tempting one. This parallel has aged very well, with the idea of the human who has no need to exist in the world in a world that has no need for him is a common feeling especially today with capital accelerationism making the modern world feeling abstract and unreal (It's a shame Perec never lived to see the internet given he predicted what it would do to people).
Up to this point this was a movie I loved. It managed to capture a feeling of isolation and claustrophobia like nothing I've ever seen or since. It's a life looking at art, science, architecture, The World as a knowing consumer and nothing else, every pot of coffee and bowl of cereal the same as the last, Jacques Spiesser (who probably a bit too old for the role but he pulls it off) fulfils the everyman role searching for meaning in the world which mimics the way I had memorised the position of every crack of plaster in my small one bedroom apartment, a lifetime enamoured with the machine that could access the internet. The physical became less and less real, what was the point of original ideas and art anymore when everything was so easily replicated (Took me ten years to realised Walter Benjamin wrote the same thing more eruditely in 1935). I thought this was a movie that finally understood me, one that I could finally relate to in a way that a self-contained introvert never could with other works of fiction, it was so inorganic and honest about the world. It made me feel like my world view was justified, it felt special.
And then the ending happened.
The last 15 minutes change the pace and tone entirely. The words are the same (In the times I've read the story I've never noticed this switch before) but the rose has welted leaving only thorns. The film directly attacks the viewer. It implicates them, ripping apart these feelings so common to the cis white able-bodied males this film does such a good at comforting now exposes their narcissism. The shift goes from the judgement of landscapes to the people around him, the black and white colours invert and the cuts are suddenly quicker barely giving time to process each image. Snap judgements are made of the artifice and the context the Man is placed in is suddenly more apparent. Quaysenne's addition to the text turns this into a condemnation which is something the text sorely needed. Re-watching it now I can't help but this this kind of mindset is a trap, a Nagleite motif that would be a ripe target for fascism. In this new lens the film gains even more power as not just does pit point directly to causes of it but it also presents a solution to the characters myopia through aggression and understanding of the wider world, a technique that endears it more than empty acts of compassion that plague it's predecessors taking place in a fake world. Perec and Quaysenne understand fascism. I can't speak for either of them but Perec's writing indicates some element of biography in all his works but it's Quaysenne's whose able to take his prose and apply it like a scalpel to the flesh to remove the growing tumour.
A common theme I find in films I truly adore (This, The Man Who Stole The Sun and Love Exposure would be a good Top 3 for this example) are films that deal with unchecked privileged boredom and its consequences. This complete lack of existence under an oppressive world where these people are the top of the hierarchal food chain and yet remain miserable for the world (blame capitalism, it's easier that way) and yet unlike other films in their genres these three give you characters with permanent goals at the end from making it to another day to finding where you are in the world or even blowing up Tokyo if you want to. Those three movies recognise how deadly this affect is but only this film offers a solution and isn't that the thing people who watch these movies are looking for?

THE absence of 20-goal top marksman Richard Evans was a key factor in Llanrug's inability to beat Pwllheli on Easter Monday, believes manager Aled Owen.
"We dominated from start to finish and created so many chances but couldn't put them away," said Owen.
"Having Richard Evans missing was the difference. Pwllheli only had three chances in the game and took two of them."
Despite dropping two points, Owen insists fifth-placed Llanrug can still finish third in the Welsh Alliance.
"Third place is realistic as we have so many games in hand over (fourth and third placed) Rhyl and Conwy," he said.
Monday's tussle at Eithin Duon saw Llanrug take a 10th minute lead when Terry Williams put away his 15th goal of the season.
But for some outstanding stops from visiting keeper Andrew Parry the lead would have been bigger before Pwllheli equalised five minutes before the break through John Paul Roberts.
Midway through the second half, the visitors edged in front when Ian Williams converted a penalty and as the game wore on it looked as if Llanrug might lose.
However, with just two minutes left the hosts earned a spot-kick which David Noel Williams dispatched for his 14th goal of the campaign.

UK Students missing out on £150m in scholarships
UK students are potentially missing out on over £150 million scholarships according to new research.
The Scholarship Hub, a free online database of over 3,000 scholarships and bursaries questioned 20 leading institutions offering scholarships, grants or bursaries to UK students and found they often struggle to get enough suitable applicants.
Half said they had to work quite hard to attract applicants, often having to extend deadlines and almost a third said they get less than 50 applicants. Only two said they got a good response.
One of the barriers for organisations is the problem of raising awareness among students, with 14 out of 20 citing universities' reluctance to promote external scholarships as a key factor in this.
Karen Kennard, founder of the Scholarship Hub, a social enterprise, said: "Students thinking it's not worth their while applying for scholarships might be surprised to hear that organisations are often struggling to give away this 'free money' and, in many cases, the low number of applicants means your chances of getting one are pretty high.
"Scholarships, grants and bursaries are not just for disadvantaged students. Funding is offered for a wide range of reasons from academic merit and financial need, to musical and sporting talent, personal circumstances such as where you come from or what your parents do and awards for recognition of your involvement in the community."
Michael Truckle, from Bracknell, is a Lloyds scholar and is studying Accounting and Finance at Warwick University, he said: "Being a Lloyds scholar has been invaluable to me. It has helped me in several ways from gaining a summer internship to improving my prioritisation skills and ultimately making sure I enjoy every second at university. The programme has been extremely valuable and I couldn't recommend it more."
As a Lloyds scholar he received a bursary of £2000 a year, access to a mentor and two summer internships.
Aya Helmy, from Belfast in Northern Ireland, was awarded the Belling Scholarship for Engineering in 2014, which gave her £3,000 a year towards her degree at the University of Cambridge. "The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) scholarship provided me with financial security and gave me opportunities I wouldn't have had otherwise, including a summer internship."
Of the organisations questioned, 40% offer scholarships for charitable purposes, 35% to nurture new talent for their industry and three 15% for marketing purposes – with 10 % stating a combination of reasons.

How secure is the remote viewing of the camera? Do I have to worry about hackers watching me in my house?
2 Answers from the Community
The security can be very good, but it will only be as good as you make it. Most Internet communications of any sensitivity (Apple's iCloud, Google Mail, your bank, etc.) use something called SSL, which stands for Secure Socket Layer. It is an encryption mechanism that prevents people from viewing your data by "tapping" your line. Your data is encrypted, transmitted, and then decrypted. If someone were to hack SSL, they'd be more interested in going after your bank than after the security camera in your home.
With that said, if you use poor security practices yourself, then your system can be hacked -- encryption will not help you if that happens. Poor security practices include opening websites from disreputable services (these include illegal downloading of movies, music, and software, as well as many websites providing pornography and gambling -- all these occasionally propagate malware), opening links or attachments in emails without first confirming they are legitimate (just because an email appears to be from a friend does not guarantee it is from a friend), using poor passwords (short, words, or default), and not periodically checking your computer for viruses.
If you use good security yourself, your system will provide you with very good security. There are, however, no guarantees. Unless you have a particular reason to do so, I wouldn't point a security camera anywhere into your bedroom.
Best of Luck,
