well done for grabbing a bargain. :) any chance of pics when it's up and running ? |
Sure thing! After 10 mins., it's still leak free. A good start. Now I need to do a DIY cover. It didn't come with one. Any ideas anyone? Gotta be easy, real easy. |

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. The villain known as "the Ventriloquist" is a fairly ordinary man named Arnold Wesker. He is constantly accompanied by his ventriloquist's dummy, Scarface, which is modelled after the gangsters of the 1920's. Scarface speaks and acts with a completely different personality from Wesker himself; the Ventriloquist's thugs and underlings are convinced of this to the point where they refer to the puppet as their boss and speak directly to it while giving reports or asking for orders. Scarface is often equipped with firearms built in miniature to fit his undersized hands, but which fire real, perfectly lethal ammunition. The exact depictions of the character have varied; sometimes, Wesker is depicted as a meek victim, helplessly going along with the malevolent will of Scarface, and sometimes it is clear that he merely uses Scarface as a surrogate for his own plans for crime and destruction. Equally unclear is the exact nature of Scarface; in some depictions it is stated that Scarface is an alternate personality of Wesker's that only manifests while he is holding the dummy, and sometimes the dummy seems to literally have a life of its own. Batman's clashes with the Ventriloquist traditionally end with the Scarface dummy either being destroyed or forcefully removed from its owner, at which point Wesker finds himself frozen with uncertainty, unsure of what to do, and is quickly apprehended. But no matter how many times Scarface is destroyed or taken away from Wesker, they always end up together again. Several times Wesker has seemed cured of his psychological issues, only for the dummy to inexplicably show up in his home, leading to a new crime spree, and just as many times Wesker has carved a new Scarface out of any available wood. The Ventriloquist himself did not make an appearance in Batman: Arkham Asylum, but a biography of the character could be unlocked by scanning a tommy gun with his name displayed on a plaque beneath it. In addition, Scarface did appear, and in addition to having a separate biography from Wesker (obtained by scanning the dummy itself), Scarface appeared in a single cutscene, held by the Joker, in which he spoke in a manner very unlike that of the clown prince of crime, going so far as to insult the Joker to his face. This could suggest that Scarface does have a mind of his own, which only manifests while he is being held... but then again it is equally possible that the Joker was simply amusing himself by mocking his fellow villain.

Sir Richard Branson questioned the Government's decision to nationalise Northern Rock as he admitted defeat after five months working on the deal.
Virgin Money was named as preferred bidder by Northern Rock in November and remained the favoured private-sector solution until yesterday, when the Government decided nationalisation was better value for the taxpayer.
Sir Richard said nationalisation was "not the right answer" and that a commercial solution would have been a better option.
He added: "All of us in the Virgin consortium are very disappointed that the Government has chosen to opt for nationalisation. We were very clear the business plan we put forward was robust, conservative but ultimately capable of rescuing the interests of all stakeholders.
"However, we must accept the decision with good grace and hope that the Rock will somehow find better fortune in the future."
A key reason for Virgin's failure was the Government's demand for the taxpayer to make a fitting return on its support for the stricken bank. The Chancellor said the hurdle for the taxpayer to share in a revival was too high because it required the equity value of Northern Rock to hit £2.7bn.
Virgin proposed giving the Government warrants over a stake in Northern Rock that would have paid out £100m to £200m when the bank's shares hit 50p. It said this amounted to the value of the equity roughly doubling over five years.
Virgin had proposed a £1bn injection at 25p a share, split equally between a rights issue and investment by the consortium. It would also have injected its Virgin Money business, which it valued at £250m. The bank's existing shares, which closed at 90p on Friday, would have dropped to around the rights issue price, valuing the equity at about £1.35bn.
People close to the negotiations stressed the risk that Virgin would have taken in investing in Northern Rock. They said negotiations between the Government and the European Commission could have delayed Virgin taking control for many months. Potential litigation from shareholders also added uncertainty to the transaction, they said.
The Government made a share in any revival of Northern Rock a key plank in its demands to bidders to ward off claims that the taxpayer's money had been used to subsidise the private sector.
The rejection of Sir Richard's proposal sets him back in his long-held ambition to take on the established UK financial services industry.
He said Virgin would now put its efforts into building up Virgin Money, which its chief executive, Jayne-Anne Gadhia, has said is performing more strongly than is understood.

THIS PAGE HAS BEEN MOVED TO GITHUB: https://github.com/google/gson/blob/master/UserGuide.md ______________________________________________________________________________ Authors: Inderjeet Singh, Joel Leitch, Jesse Wilson OverviewGson is a Java library that can be used to convert Java Objects into their JSON representation. It can also be used to convert a JSON string to an equivalent Java object. Gson is an open-source project hosted at http://code.google.com/p/google-gson.Gson can work with arbitrary Java objects including pre-existing objects that you do not have source-code of. Goals for Gson
Gson Performance and Scalability
Here are some metrics that we obtained on a desktop (dual opteron, 8GB RAM, 64-bit Ubuntu) running lots of other things along-with the tests. You can rerun these tests by using the class PerformanceTest.
Gson UsersGson was originally created for use inside Google where it is currently used in a number of projects. It is now used by a number of public projects and companies. See details here. Using GsonThe primary class to use is Gson which you can just create by calling new Gson(). There is also a class GsonBuilder available that can be used to create a Gson instance with various settings like version control and so on.The Gson instance does not maintain any state while invoking Json operations. So, you are free to reuse the same object for multiple Json serialization and deserialization operations. Primitives Examples(Serialization)Gson gson = new Gson(); gson.toJson(1); ==> prints 1 gson.toJson("abcd"); ==> prints "abcd" gson.toJson(new Long(10)); ==> prints 10 int[] values = { 1 }; gson.toJson(values); ==> prints [1] (Deserialization) int one = gson.fromJson("1", int.class); Integer one = gson.fromJson("1", Integer.class); Long one = gson.fromJson("1", Long.class); Boolean false = gson.fromJson("false", Boolean.class); String str = gson.fromJson("\"abc\"", String.class); String anotherStr = gson.fromJson("[\"abc\"]", String.class); Object Examplesclass BagOfPrimitives {private int value1 = 1; private String value2 = "abc"; private transient int value3 = 3; BagOfPrimitives() { // no-args constructor } } (Serialization) BagOfPrimitives obj = new BagOfPrimitives(); Gson gson = new Gson(); String json = gson.toJson(obj); ==> json is {"value1":1,"value2":"abc"} Note that you can not serialize objects with circular references since that will result in infinite recursion. (Deserialization) BagOfPrimitives obj2 = gson.fromJson(json, BagOfPrimitives.class); ==> obj2 is just like obj
Nested Classes (including Inner Classes)Gson can serialize static nested classes quite easily. Gson can also deserialize static nested classes. However, Gson can not automatically deserialize the pure inner classes since their no-args constructor also need a reference to the containing Object which is not available at the time of deserialization. You can address this problem by either making the inner class static or by providing a custom InstanceCreator for it. Here is an example: public class A { public String a; class B { public String b; public B() { // No args constructor for B } } } NOTE: The above class B can not (by default) be serialized with Gson. Gson can not deserialize {"b":"abc"} into an instance of B since the class B is an inner class. if it was defined as static class B then Gson would have been able to deserialize the string. Another solution is to write a custom instance creator for B. public class InstanceCreatorForB implements InstanceCreator<A.B> { private final A a; public InstanceCreatorForB(A a) { this.a = a; } public A.B createInstance(Type type) { return a.new B(); } } The above is possible, but not recommended. Array ExamplesGson gson = new Gson(); gson.toJson(strings); ==> prints ["abc", "def", "ghi"]int[] ints = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; String[] strings = {"abc", "def", "ghi"}; (Serialization) gson.toJson(ints); ==> prints [1,2,3,4,5] (Deserialization) int[] ints2 = gson.fromJson("[1,2,3,4,5]", int[].class); ==> ints2 will be same as ints We also support multi-dimensional arrays, with arbitrarily complex element types Collections ExamplesGson gson = new Gson();Collection<Integer> ints = Lists.immutableList(1,2,3,4,5); (Serialization) String json = gson.toJson(ints); ==> json is [1,2,3,4,5] (Deserialization) Type collectionType = new TypeToken<Collection<Integer>>(){}.getType(); Collection<Integer> ints2 = gson.fromJson(json, collectionType); ints2 is same as ints Fairly hideous: note how we define the type of collection Unfortunately, no way to get around this in Java Collections Limitations
Serializing and Deserializing Generic TypesWhen you call toJson(obj), Gson calls obj.getClass() to get information on the fields to serialize. Similarly, you can typically pass MyClass.class object in the fromJson(json, MyClass.class) method. This works fine if the object is a non-generic type. However, if the object is of a generic type, then the Generic type information is lost because of Java Type Erasure. Here is an example illustrating the point:class Foo<T> { T value; } Gson gson = new Gson(); Foo<Bar> foo = new Foo<Bar>(); gson.toJson(foo); // May not serialize foo.value correctly gson.fromJson(json, foo.getClass()); // Fails to deserialize foo.value as Bar The above code fails to interpret value as type Bar because Gson invokes list.getClass() to get its class information, but this method returns a raw class, Foo.class. This means that Gson has no way of knowing that this is an object of type Foo<Bar>, and not just plain Foo. You can solve this problem by specifying the correct parameterized type for your generic type. You can do this by using the TypeToken class. Type fooType = new TypeToken<Foo<Bar>>() {}.getType(); gson.toJson(foo, fooType); gson.fromJson(json, fooType); The idiom used to get fooType actually defines an anonymous local inner class containing a method getType() that returns the fully parameterized type. Serializing and Deserializing Collection with Objects of Arbitrary TypesSometimes you are dealing with JSON array that contains mixed types. For example: ['hello',5,{name:'GREETINGS',source:'guest'}] The equivalent Collection containing this is: Collection collection = new ArrayList(); collection.add("hello"); collection.add(5); collection.add(new Event("GREETINGS", "guest")); Where the Event class is defined as: class Event { private String name; private String source; private Event(String name, String source) { this.name = name; this.source = source; } } You can serialize the collection with Gson without doing anything specific: toJson(collection) would write out the desired output.However, deserialization with fromJson(json, Collection.class) will not work since Gson has no way of knowing how to map the input to the types. Gson requires that you provide a genericised version of collection type in fromJson. So, you have three options:Option 1: Use Gson's parser API (low-level streaming parser or the DOM parser JsonParser) to parse the array elements and then use Gson.fromJson() on each of the array elements.This is the preferred approach. Here is an example that demonstrates how to do this. Option 2: Register a type adapter for Collection.class that looks at each of the array members and maps them to appropriate objects. The disadvantage of this approach is that it will screw up deserialization of other collection types in Gson. Option 3: Register a type adapter for MyCollectionMemberType and use fromJson with Collection<MyCollectionMemberType> This approach is practical only if the array appears as a top-level element or if you can change the field type holding the collection to be of type Collection<MyCollectionMemberTyep>. Built-in Serializers and DeserializersGson has built-in serializers and deserializers for commonly used classes whose default representation may be inappropriate. Here is a list of such classes:
Custom Serialization and DeserializationSometimes default representation is not what you want. This is often the case when dealing with library classes (DateTime, etc).Gson allows you to register your own custom serializers and deserializers. This is done by defining two parts:
gson.registerTypeAdapter(MyType2.class, new MyTypeAdapter()); gson.registerTypeAdapter(MyType.class, new MySerializer()); gson.registerTypeAdapter(MyType.class, new MyDeserializer()); gson.registerTypeAdapter(MyType.class, new MyInstanceCreator()); registerTypeAdapter call checks if the type adapter implements more than one of these interfaces and register it for all of them. Writing a SerializerHere is an example of how to write a custom serializer for JodaTime DateTime class.private class DateTimeSerializer implements JsonSerializer<DateTime> { public JsonElement serialize(DateTime src, Type typeOfSrc, JsonSerializationContext context) { return new JsonPrimitive(src.toString()); } } Gson calls toJson() when it runs into a DateTime object during serialization. Writing a DeserializerHere is an example of how to write a custom deserializer for JodaTime DateTime class.private class DateTimeDeserializer implements JsonDeserializer<DateTime> { public DateTime deserialize(JsonElement json, Type typeOfT, JsonDeserializationContext context) throws JsonParseException { return new DateTime(json.getAsJsonPrimitive().getAsString()); } } Gson calls fromJson() when it needs to deserialize a JSON string fragment into a DateTime object Finer points with Serializers and Deserializers Often you want to register a single handler for all generic types corresponding to a raw type
The Type parameter for the toJson and fromJson contains the generic type information to help you write a single handler for all generic types corresponding to the same raw type Writing an Instance CreatorWhile deserializing an Object, Gson needs to create a default instance of the classWell-behaved classes that are meant for serialization and deserialization should have a no-argument constructor
Instance Creator Example private class MoneyInstanceCreator implements InstanceCreator<Money> { public Money createInstance(Type type) { return new Money("1000000", CurrencyCode.USD); } } Type could be of a corresponding generic type
InstanceCreator for a Parameterized TypeSometimes that the type that you are trying to instantiate is a parameterized type. Generally, this is not a problem since the actual instance is of raw type. Here is an example:class MyList<T> extends ArrayList<T> { } class MyListInstanceCreator implements InstanceCreator<MyList<?>> { @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public MyList<?> createInstance(Type type) { // No need to use a parameterized list since the actual instance will have the raw type anyway. return new MyList(); } } However, sometimes you do need to create instance based on the actual parameterized type. In this case, you can use the type parameter being passed to the createInstance method. Here is an example: public class Id<T> { private final Class<T> classOfId; private final long value; public Id(Class<T> classOfId, long value) { this.classOfId = classOfId; this.value = value; } } class IdInstanceCreator implements InstanceCreator<Id<?>> { public Id<?> createInstance(Type type) { Type[] typeParameters = ((ParameterizedType)type).getActualTypeArguments(); Type idType = typeParameters[0]; // Id has only one parameterized type T return Id.get((Class)idType, 0L); } } In the above example, an instance of the Id class can not be created without actually passing in the actual type for the parameterized type. We solve this problem by using the passed method parameter, type. The type object in this case is the Java parameterized type representation of Id<Foo> where the actual instance should be bound to Id<Foo>. Since Id class has just one parameterized type parameter, T, we use the zeroth element of the type array returned by getActualTypeArgument() which will hold Foo.class in this case. Compact Vs. Pretty Printing for JSON Output FormatThe default JSON output that is provide by Gson is a compact JSON format. This means that there will not be any whitespace in the output JSON structure. Therefore, there will be no whitespace between field names and its value, object fields, and objects within arrays in the JSON output. As well, "null" fields will be ignored in the output (NOTE: null values will still be included in collections/arrays of objects). See the Null Object Support section for information on configure Gson to output all null values.If you like to use the Pretty Print feature, you must configure your Gson instance using the GsonBuilder. The JsonFormatter is not exposed through our public API, so the client is unable to configure the default print settings/margins for the JSON output. For now, we only provide a default JsonPrintFormatter that has default line length of 80 character, 2 character indentation, and 4 character right margin. The following is an example shows how to configure a Gson instance to use the default JsonPrintFormatter instead of the JsonCompactFormatter: Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting().create(); String jsonOutput = gson.toJson(someObject); Null Object SupportThe default behaviour that is implemented in Gson is that null object fields are ignored. This allows for a more compact output format; however, the client must define a default value for these fields as the JSON format is converted back into its Java.Here's how you would configure a Gson instance to output null: Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().serializeNulls().create(); NOTE: when serializing nulls with Gson, it will add a JsonNull element to the JsonElement structure. Therefore, this object can be used in custom serialization/deserialization. Here's an example: public class Foo { private final String s; private final int i; public Foo() { this(null, 5); } public Foo(String s, int i) { this.s = s; this.i = i; } } Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().serializeNulls().create(); Foo foo = new Foo(); String json = gson.toJson(foo); System.out.println(json); json = gson.toJson(null); System.out.println(json); ======== OUTPUT ======== {"s":null,"i":5} null Versioning SupportMultiple versions of the same object can be maintained by using @Since annotation. This annotation can be used on Classes, Fields and, in a future release, Methods. In order to leverage this feature, you must configure your Gson instance to ignore any field/object that is greater than some version number. If no version is set on the Gson instance then it will serialize and deserialize all fields and classes regardless of the version.public class VersionedClass { @Since(1.1) private final String newerField; @Since(1.0) private final String newField; private final String field; public VersionedClass() { this.newerField = "newer"; this.newField = "new"; this.field = "old"; } } VersionedClass versionedObject = new VersionedClass(); Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setVersion(1.0).create(); String jsonOutput = gson.toJson(someObject); System.out.println(jsonOutput); System.out.println(); gson = new Gson(); jsonOutput = gson.toJson(someObject); System.out.println(jsonOutput); ======== OUTPUT ======== {"newField":"new","field":"old"} {"newerField":"newer","newField":"new","field":"old"} Excluding Fields From Serialization and DeserializationGson supports numerous mechanisms for excluding top-level classes, fields and field types. Below are pluggable mechanism that allow field and class exclusion. If none of the below mechanism satisfy your needs then you can always use custom serializers and deserializers. Java Modifier ExclusionBy default, if you mark a field as transient, it will be excluded. As well, if a field is marked as "static" then by default it will be excluded. If you want to include some transient fields then you can do the following:import java.lang.reflect.Modifier; Gson gson = new GsonBuilder() .excludeFieldsWithModifiers(Modifier.STATIC) .create(); NOTE: you can use any number of the Modifier constants to "excludeFieldsWithModifiers" method. For example: Gson gson = new GsonBuilder() .excludeFieldsWithModifiers(Modifier.STATIC, Modifier.TRANSIENT, Modifier.VOLATILE) .create(); Gson's @ExposeThis feature provides a way where you can mark certain fields of your objects to be excluded for consideration for serialization and deserialization to JSON. To use this annotation, you must create Gson by using new GsonBuilder().excludeFieldsWithoutExposeAnnotation().create(). The Gson instance created will exclude all fields in a class that are not marked with @Expose annotation.User Defined Exclusion StrategiesIf the above mechanisms for excluding fields and class type do not work for you then you can always write your own exclusion strategy and plug it into Gson. See the ExclusionStrategy JavaDoc for more information.The following example shows how to exclude fields marked with a specific "@Foo" annotation and excludes top-level types (or declared field type) of class String. @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @Target({ElementType.FIELD}) public @interface Foo { // Field tag only annotation } public class SampleObjectForTest { @Foo private final int annotatedField; private final String stringField; private final long longField; private final Class<?> clazzField; public SampleObjectForTest() { annotatedField = 5; stringField = "someDefaultValue"; longField = 1234; } } public class MyExclusionStrategy implements ExclusionStrategy { private final Class<?> typeToSkip; private MyExclusionStrategy(Class<?> typeToSkip) { this.typeToSkip = typeToSkip; } public boolean shouldSkipClass(Class<?> clazz) { return (clazz == typeToSkip); } public boolean shouldSkipField(FieldAttributes f) { return f.getAnnotation(Foo.class) != null; } } public static void main(String[] args) { Gson gson = new GsonBuilder() .setExclusionStrategies(new MyExclusionStrategy(String.class)) .serializeNulls() .create(); SampleObjectForTest src = new SampleObjectForTest(); String json = gson.toJson(src); System.out.println(json); } ======== OUTPUT ======== {"longField":1234} JSON Field Naming SupportGson supports some pre-defined field naming policies to convert the standard Java field names (i.e. camel cased names starting with lower case --- "sampleFieldNameInJava") to a Json field name (i.e. sample_field_name_in_java or SampleFieldNameInJava). See the FieldNamingPolicy class for information on the pre-defined naming policies.It also has an annotation based strategy to allows clients to define custom names on a per field basis. Note, that the annotation based strategy has field name validation which will raise "Runtime" exceptions if an invalid field name is provided as the annotation value. The following is an example of how to use both Gson naming policy features: private class SomeObject { @SerializedName("custom_naming") private final String someField; private final String someOtherField; public SomeObject(String a, String b) { this.someField = a; this.someOtherField = b; } } SomeObject someObject = new SomeObject("first", "second"); Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setFieldNamingPolicy(FieldNamingPolicy.UPPER_CAMEL_CASE).create(); String jsonRepresentation = gson.toJson(someObject); System.out.println(jsonRepresentation); ======== OUTPUT ======== {"custom_naming":"first","SomeOtherField":"second"} If you have a need for custom naming policy (see this discussion), you can use the @SerializedName annotation. Sharing State Across Custom Serializers and DeserializersSometimes you need to share state across custom serializers/deserializers (see this discussion). You can use the following three strategies to accomplish this:
1 and 2 are not thread-safe options, but 3 is. StreamingIn addition Gson's object model and data binding, you can use Gson to read from and write to a stream. You can also combine streaming and object model access to get the best of both approaches. Issues in Designing GsonSee the Gson design document for a discussion of issues we faced while designing Gson. It also include a comparison of Gson with other Java libraries that can be used for Json conversion.Future Enhancements to GsonFor the latest list of proposed enhancements or if you'd like to suggest new ones, see the Issues section under the project website. |

Heritage Gardens explores the most fascinating private and public restorations of the last century in the UK, Europe and the United States. This is the first historical book of its kind, bringing to light gardens that were destroyed in regions of eastern Europe, plundered by war, abandoned by fashion, or left to long-term dereliction by neglect. Combining historical anecdote and personal insight with restoration triumphs and tribulations, garden historian George Plumptre evaluates 40 of the best heritage gardens that have been brought back to life, for their design, planting and attention to detail.
The grand historic gardens present sumptuous landscapes restored at enormous cost, but just as intriguing are those gardens rich with personality; from the Villa D'Este in Tivoli, arguably the most famous garden of the Italian Renaissance, to the irregularly shaped terraces and enclosures at the Chateau de Marqueyssac, or the symmetry and delicate colour schemes that Gertrude Jekyll brought to Upton Grey. The author has delved into the archives to recover original plans, drawings, photographs and contemporary paintings to trace the decline of these gardens, and thereby illuminate their recovery.

Sight Word Jenga!
Since starting the Daily Five I've been on the hunt for some cute game ideas that I could easily adjust to make into a sight word review game. Then I had a brilliant idea (that I'm sure is 'old news' to most of you) to change plain old Jenga to Sight Word Jenga!
It's SOOOO easy. All I did was write sight words on both sides of the Jenga blocks. The kids play the same way, however, when they pull out the Jenga block they have to say the sight word. They earn a point each time they say the word correctly. The player with the most points WINS! So fun and my kids LOVE it! I have a worksheet that I created to go with it so the kiddos are able to keep score, however, I'm still trying to figure out the whole 'google docs' and 'scribd' thing (yes, I know I'm young and should know how to work the technology, but honestly, I'm struggling ) :(
Will have it posted, hopefully, SOON!
Happy Friday!

I never thought of this for sight words... I've done it with numbers and addition and colors... so THANKS for sharing! Also, I'd love to follow you on Scribd if you ever decide to use them. On my blog I posted a video on how to use scribd and blogger together if you are interested.

Status : Revised, Withdrawn Published : June 2008 Replaced By : BS ISO/IEC 27005:2011
This standard has now been superseeded by the 2011 version BS ISO/IEC 27005:2011
BS ISO/IEC 27005:2008 Information technology. Security techniques. Information security risk management
Organizations of all types are concerned by threats that could compromise their information security. Managing this aspect is usually a primary concern for their information technology (IT) departments. The new International Standard BS ISO/IEC 27005:2008 describes the information security risk management process and associated actions, and has been written to help manage these business-critical risks.
Threats may be deliberate or accidental, and may relate to either the use and application of IT systems or to IT's physical and environmental aspects. These threats may take any form from identity theft, risks of doing business on-line, denial of service attacks, remote spying, theft of equipment or documents through to a seismic or climatic phenomenon, fire, floods or pandemic problems.
These threats can have a direct impact on businesses, with possible financial loss or damage, loss of essential network services, loss of customer confidence through to loss power supply or failure of telecommunication equipment.
What's a risk?
A risk is a combination of the consequences that would follow from the occurrence of an unwanted event and the likelihood of the occurrence of the event. Risk assessment quantifies or qualitatively describes the risk and enables managers to prioritize risks according to their perceived seriousness or other established criteria.
How does this standard help?
BS ISO/IEC 27005 is the international standard that provides guidelines for information security risk management (ISMS) in an organization, supporting in particular the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001.
BS ISO/IEC 27005 can help your organization because it:
What does the information security risk management process consists of?
Who should use BS ISO/IEC 27005?
BS ISO/IEC 27005 is applicable to all types of organizations (e.g. commercial enterprises, government agencies, non-profit organizations) that intend to manage risks that could compromise the organization's information security.
BS ISO/IEC 27005 is relevant to managers and staff concerned with information security risk management within an organization and, where appropriate, external parties supporting such activities.
The main driver of the topic is 27001 and this is a risk based standard. Risk assessments are made to determine what controls (from 27001) to put in place and the strength of control required to reduce these risks to level that an organization can regard as an acceptable business risk.
How does BS ISO/IEC 27005 complement BS ISO/IEC 27001?
If you use BS ISO/IEC 27001 Information technology. Security techniques. Information security management systems. Requirements, which is a risk-based standard, then you will find BS ISO/IEC 27005 very useful in providing additional guidance on the subject of risk.
Contents of BS ISO/IEC 27005 include:
However, ISO/IEC 27005:2008 does not provide any specific methodology for information security risk management. It is up to the organization to define its approach to risk management, depending, for example, on the scope of the information security management system, based on the context of risk management, or the industry sector.
A number of existing methodologies can be used under the framework described in this International Standard to implement the requirements of an ISMS.
Edward Humphreys, chairman of the UK National Committee and convener of the ISO/IEC working group that developed the standard comments:
"Today, most organizations recognize the critical role that information technology plays in supporting their business objectives and with the advent of the Internet and the prospect of performing business online, IT security has been in the forefront. ISO/IEC 27005:2008 is relevant to managers and staff concerned with information security risk management within an organization and, where appropriate, external parties supporting such activities."

I had walked past Arthur Probsthain - Oriental & African Bookseller on Great Russell Street many times but had never been in. What finally got me in there was noticing a sign for Tea & Tattle, the tea room downstairs. I had a really good flat white (made with Monmouth beans I think) and a delicious danish pastry. The surroundings are "old fashioned tea room with a twist" - which is fine with me. I also checked out the bookshop upstairs which as well as a wide range of interesting books with an Oriental or African theme, had some interesting artwork for sale. I love this precinct - there are some great places within walking distance of the British Museum (as well as some tourist-targeted crap) and Arthur Probsthain and Tea & Tattle downstairs are definitely in this category.

Politics and whatever else I damn well please!
John Kerry's selection of John Edwards as his running mate makes some political sense. Mr. Edwards won't bring gravitas to the Democratic ticket, but he will inject it with zip and charm. However, if Mr. Kerry intends to adopt the Edwards brand of populism as the dominant theme of his campaign, that will be a political mistake. Yet that is exactly what Mr. Kerry seems to be doing
So he doesn't generate his own gravitational field?

Essaqwand Rock Tombs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Essaqwand Rock Tombs (Persian: گوردخمه اسحاقوند) are three rock-hewn tombs located 25 km southwest of Harsin in Kermanshah Province, Iran. On top of the middle tomb there is the bas-relief of a man with his profile toward the viewers. He is holding his hands in prayers in front of him. There is also a torch and a fire altar in front of him. Behind the fire altar there is another man, holding up something in his hands. The tombs have been attributed to different historical eras including Medes, Achaemenids, Seleucids and Parthians.

In light of speculation that Sprint will carry the iPhone 5 this autumn, Sprint store management has reportedly ordered its employees to keep quiet.
The blog Sprintfeed published what looks like an internal memo for retailers, acknowledging the Wall Street Journal's report about a Sprint iPhone 5, and telling employees to say no more. "If you're asked by a customer or just talking to friends and family members, you need to avoid making any comment about the iPhone and simply state 'no comment,'" the memo says.
The Journal reported last week that Sprint will begin carrying the iPhone 5 in October, alongside AT&T and Verizon Wireless, citing "people familiar with the matter." According to the memo, employees are allowed to admit that they've seen the rumors, but should then say they have no information to share. The memo doesn't confirm that Sprint is getting the iPhone 5, but it doesn't deny the rumor, either.
I wouldn't read into this too much. Whether the iPhone 5 is coming to Sprint or not, the company probably wants to keep its employees in the dark to discourage them from spreading any misinformation or rumors that turn out to be false.
It's possible that even Sprint doesn't know whether it's getting the iPhone 5 yet. Remember, when Verizon was expected to get the iPhone 4, the carrier seemed to be unsure until the launch was imminent. "If the iPhone comes to us, it's because Apple thinks it's time," Verizon's then-CEO Ivan Seidenberg said in November, two months before Apple announced the iPhone 4 on Verizon's network. "Our interests are beginning to come together more but they have to take steps to align their technology with ours."
The iPhone 5 is rumored to have a dual-mode capabilities, allowing Apple to accommodate GSM and CDMA carriers with a single baseband chip. Although Sprint and Verizon are both CDMA carriers, a Sprint iPhone 5 would have to support a slightly different set of wireless frequencies. The latest rumors expect Apple to announce the iPhone 5 in September, ahead of an October launch.

Interleukin-2 (IL-2, Proleukin) and Immune FunctionJanuary 2003 A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information! IL-2 is an immune-based therapy that results in dramatic increases in CD4 cell counts when used in conjunction with anti-HIV therapy. Although IL-2 has been discussed in previous issues of PI Perspective, new information warrants a further look at the product.
The value of the large CD4 cell count increases realized with the use of IL-2 therapy remains unknown. Two large studies are underway to see if IL-2 use among people with HIV prolongs life and improves quality of life. A small study, conducted by the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG 328), sought to assess immune function in IL-2 treated people who had CD4 cell counts between 50 and 300 at study entry. ACTG 328 included people who had never taken either protease inhibitors or 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir). All volunteers received indinavir (Crixivan), 3TC and another NARTI drug (like AZT, d4T, etc.). After 11 weeks of anti-HIV therapy, those who achieved viral load suppression to below 5,000 received intravenous IL-2 (high dose, cycled), IL-2 administered by injection under the skin (high dose, cycled) or no IL-2, in addition to continued anti-HIV therapy. Results from this study showed that IL-2 is able to bolster CD4 cell counts above what is observed with anti-HIV therapy alone. In an attempt to glean information about the function of CD4 cells, a substudy of ACTG 328 evaluated responses to HIV-1 Immunogen (Remune), tetanus, hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines. More people in the anti-HIV therapy alone group demonstrated skin test reactivity to the Remune vaccine than those receiving IL-2 (60 percent vs. 20 percent). Antibody responses to Remune were similar between both groups, however. There was no apparent difference in antibody responses induced by hepatitis A vaccination between those receiving IL-2 compared to those who did not. While there were no statistically significant differences in hepatitis A vaccine responses, there was a trend toward slightly better responses among those receiving anti-HIV therapy alone. As we went to press, Chiron Corporation, the company that is developing IL-2, has announced the closure of its large study of IL-2, called SILCAAT. The company states the reason for the study closure is a "business decision." Project Inform and other advocacy groups have strongly protested this action by the company. Non-Chiron scientists involved with the study are struggling to find a way to continue this important research, which external safety monitors state is proceeding as planned and should continue. Chiron says that those currently receiving IL-2 in the study are guaranteed to continue receiving the drug for a minimum of one year. As this story evolves, more information will be available. For more information about IL-2, call the Project Inform hotline.

Forgotten Verses
If you've already spoken with a woman named Sister Justine, located outside of the entrance to Denerim's Chantry, then you'll know that she's a purveyor of antiquities for the Chantry. You can speak with her at any length when you first meet her, but doing so will help familiarize you with her, because she plays an integral role in the endgame of this side quest (she's located at position A on the map we've provided, if you're interested). However, you won't catalyze this actual side quest until you find some special scrolls located in the Ruined Temple, which you will visit during your quest to get the ashes to heal the Arl, during the main quest known as the Urn of Sacred Ashes. You will find these scrolls amongst many other scrolls and books, in the Ruined Temple's library at the southeastern end of the map (if you visit our main quest walkthrough for this area, you'll find it at location C on that map).
Once you have the scrolls in hand, you can go ahead and visit Denerim at any time you'd like. When you find yourself back in the market sector of Denerim, visit the Chantry at location A on the map we've provided. At location A, you'll find Sister Justine, in the same position you found her in earlier. Speak with her and let her know you've found some old documents you want her to take a look at. If you're kind to her and ultimately let her take the documents to examine them and decipher them, she'll hand over a considerable sum of money -- over seven gold coins. This side quest is a scattered one, but ultimately easy to complete, especially for the considerable sum of money you're paid.

Rick James Biography
Claim to Fame: Singer ("Super Freak" Funk Legend)
DOB: February 1, 1948
Date of Death: August 6, 2004
Diabetes Type: Unknown
Rick James was born James Ambrose Johnson, Jr. in Orchard Park, New York into the home of an autoworker and a dancer. He was one of eight children and a nephew to Melvin Franklin, bass vocalist of the Temptations. James father was abusive and left when he was seven.
His mother, Mabel Johnson, was once a Katherine Dunham dancer who had worked at some of Harlem's most prestigious nightclubs. To support her family, she worked as a cleaning woman and ran numbers on the side for a local organized crime racket, all so she could send her children to private school. James went to a Catholic school for a time, but even the discipline of the school did not keep him from cutting class and delving into petty crime. It was a talent show he entered in high school that finally provided him with the focus his life needed. The connection with his crowd inspired James to make music his lifelong pursuit.
When James was not yet 16, he dropped out of school permanently. To avoid being drafted, he joined the U.S. Naval Reserves. The bimonthly, weekend trainings were difficult to keep up with due to the increasing success with his first band, the Duprees. James was soon told to report for active duty in 1964. Instead, he fled to Canada.
James continued his music career in Toronto and formed his first band called the Sailor Boys but they soon changed their name to the Mynah Birds. The group released their first single Mynah Bird Hop in 1965. The Mynah Birds were formed with Nick St. Nicholas, who would later go on to become part of the successful California rock band Steppenwolf. Canadian guitarist Neil Young was also a Mynah Bird for a time, and the group became well-known on the Canadian rock scene. The band was financed by an ambitious British rock impresario, and eventually they secured a contract with Motown Records. After recording an album, the Mynahs were dropped when the label found out James was a wanted man in the United States because of his AWOL status.
James gave himself up to authorities, but then escaped from a naval brig. He eventually served out his sentence and returned to Toronto, where Canadian authorities then arrested him on stolen-property charges. He served more jail time there before being deported.
Motown recognized James's talent and hired him as a songwriter in the early 1970s. He grew unhappy with the "hit factory" nature of the process, however, and quit. For some time after that, he indulged his growing taste for illicit substances by working as a drug courier. Eventually he was able to record an album on his own, and took it to Motown, who re-signed him as a recording artist. That LP, Come Get It, and its first single, "You and I," established James as a solid singer/songwriter able to turn the basics of funk into a catchy pop tune. At the height of the disco era, "You and I" was the number one R&B single, and the album achieved double-platinum status.
James helped craft hits for numerous other Motown acts, but it was his 1981 hit "Super Freak" that earned him millions. The song sold four million copies and crossed over to the white pop audience. The album Street Songs sold three million copies, and another single, "Give It to Me Baby," was also wildly successful. James was tagged the King of Funk Punk.
In 1985 he launched the record career of comedian Eddie Murphy, producing the ill-advised "Party All the Time"; though it reached number two on the charts, Murphy would soon direct his ambitions to acting in feature films. James received Grammy nominations for his extensive production work for these and other artists. Over time, however, James's drug abuse began to undermine his creativity. He became withdrawn, and finally stopped writing music.
James made the news in the early 1990s for assaulting two women. He was sentenced to two years in prison and was ordered by the court to pay a $2 million fine. James served out his sentence in California's Folsom Prison, where he converted to Islam, joined Narcotics Anonymous, began writing his autobiography, and finally returned to songwriting.
James was released from prison in 1995 and soon after attempted a comeback, but health issues would prevent him from doing so. At a concert in 1997 in Denver, Colorado, James suffered a mild stroke that would mark the end of his career.
Rick James died August 6, 2004 at the age of 56 after suffering from pulmonary and cardiac failure. James had other health issues such as diabetes and the requirement of a pacemaker that were also listed as factors in his death. In addition to this, there were nine different drugs in Jamess system at the time of his death. His death was later ruled as accidental.

Search engine brings Web-crawling to Domino domain
Release 1.1 of C-Search Ltd.'s search engine brings Web-crawling techniques to the Domino domain. As a distributed index, the C-Search engine brings awareness of information to users at all locations, regardless of where the source materials actually reside.
Already capable of searching multiple databases across servers, the update adds pass-through support, mobile support that lets users search the index off-line using the Notes client or a Web browser, and improved setup facility via a wizard that allows the engine to automatically detect regional information held in the Domino directory. Organizations can configure their own indexing options.
The product comes in two versions. C-Search 1.1 searches across the whole Notes domain, while C-Search Domino.Doc 1.1 is limited to Domino.Doc and Document Managers. Both products run on Domino 5.1 or later and on any platform. Contact the company for pricing information.
Doc management tool prevents replication, save conflicts
A document management tool from Teamstudio Inc., a maker of Lotus Notes/Domino software tools, allows administrators to quickly resolve replication or save conflicts with database documents. The Teamstudio Resolver tool permits the viewing of a main document and all conflicting documents on a field-by-field basis. A pop-up window then asks which document to keep, or whether the administrator wants to include fields from a different version in the newest version of the document. The tool is priced at $495 per user.
Enhanced mail content filter reveals spammer data
Computer Mail Services Inc. has updated its Praetor e-mail content filter service. Improvements in Version 2.1 include the use of a memory cache for the Bayesian token database, which filters messages faster than a SQL server, and DNS blackhole list filtering at the message level, which allows administrators to learn more about spammers than just their IP address. Praetor supports the Domino mail server and is available starting at $350 for 10 users.
Tool notifies admins of server changes
A server configuration monitoring tool from Ionet Ltd. enhances the security of the Domino environment by alerting admins to changes made by anyone to the configuration and security settings of Domino servers. The Change Manager product tracks changes to server documents, Admin Groups, Directory ACLSs, Domain documents and Notes.INIs. Along with receiving notification of changes and who is making them, administrators can compare server configurations. Changer Manager 1.1 starts at $795 to monitor up to 30 servers.
Change Manager differs from R7 Domino Domain Monitoring, which reports on the availability and performance of server tasks, by reporting on changes to server configurations. All configuration and security settings in the Notes.INI file and directory can be retrieved for automatic change reporting and comparison, including ACL and Administration Groups.
Monitoring tools available through DYS
DYS Analytics Inc. has rolled out a series of services, called Control! OnDemand, which provide IT staff with immediate answers to security and license compliance questions and extensive reports on application use profiling, e-mail health and consolidation assessments. The services leverage the company's application performance management software to aggregate data, compare it to the user directory and generate reports. This allows administrators to resolve short-term problems, such as unexplained e-mail spikes, without subtracting from the time required to refine longer-term projects such as server consolidation and license reassignment.
This initial set of Control! OnDemand services are available today for IBM Lotus Domino and related IBM collaboration applications. Control! OnDemand costs $400 per server.
