Is a person responsible if s/he inadvertently violates Shabbat? Are people liable for property damages that they unknowingly cause? Does it matter why someone commits a religious violation? Must one intend to perform a mizvah in order to fulfill it? This course examines the role of intention in a variety of areas: tort law, Shabbat, avodah zara, sexual indiscretions, and the fulfillment of mitzvot, paying careful attention to how talmudic rabbis of different generations and locales thought about this issue. Skills in reading talmudic texts and rishonim are required.

Here is a good comparison of pice change in CH compared to other countries:
Conclusion: No crash, no big boom, boing...! goes up very gradual, but almost continuously.
Re: to rent or to buy
Personal opinion - your mileage may vary:
I would only buy a house or other dwelling in Switzerland if I was reasonably certain that I wanted to spend the rest of my life here.
Otherwise - rent & be flexible.
Re: to rent or to buy
Re: to rent or to buy
Re: to rent or to buy
Good question, one we're wondering too so thanks for posting it, and thanks Lucy for putting the links to other threads discussing this, Thanks all!
(bigging up the love on the EF forum!)
Re: Is it worth it to buy a house in Switzerland?
My wife and I bought a swiss holday appartment for skiing, the cost of 10 days in a hotel for a family of four was not far off the equivalent to the costs of owning an appartment. After buying it, I had a gut feeling that it would have been about the same to rent an appartment for the year. However since the pound has fallen, renting or hotels would have been a painful option.
Owning a holiday appartment is superb is when you spend 2-4 weeks on holiday.
Also for kids to take their friends out - priceless. Obviously they will trash the place once! I know - I was a teenager - wont do that again.
The romance of getting through the tax system and all the other bureaucracy was made enjoyable and easy by a very helpful bank team and estate agent. (Zweilütschinen Valley / Interlaken)
Re: Is it worth it to buy a house in Switzerland?
Re: Is it worth it to buy a house in Switzerland?
Agree with your point, I didn't buy until I had tried many locations and bought with the intention of keeping it for 20-30 years. Time enough for the glaciers to retreat!

Connecting with Allah
Dua is one of the most beautiful practices in Islam. Muslims can connect to their Creator by dua. It is the best way to supplicate, to communicate, and to call out Allah. Dua is part of faith for believers; it not only creates a bridge between the servants and the Lord but it also connects a person with his or her own self. Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) said,
"The most excellent worship is Dua." [Sahih Al-Jami]
Dua gives hope, peace of mind, and it is the best way of mediation since it is an interaction between Muslims with their own self and with Almighty Allah. We cannot see Allah, we cannot touch Him but we can feel Him by offering religious practices and by doing good deeds. Namaz is the way to feel Allah and in order to see Him we need to seek His believers on earth; also we also ought to perform good deeds to let others see Allah in us as well.
Allah is not unreachable but He is very close to us, we are only needed to do good deeds that could lead us to Him. Allah says in Quran in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 186:
"And when My servants ask you, (O Muhammad), concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me (by obedience) and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided". [2:186]
We as Muslims should not lose hope of goodness whenever we are in trouble. We should seek help from Him, we should call Him just the way we call our mothers when we are in pain. Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 153:
"O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient" [2:153]. In this verse Allah is saying Himself that He is with those who are patient.
Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) has mentioned one most beautiful dua that we should make in order to get the mercy of Allah:
"O One Who is Living, O Most Self-sufficient; with Your mercy, I seek help" [Tirmidhi].
Allah is listening us each and every moment let us talk to Him the every detail we feel, Allah is seeing us at our every step let us do good deeds, Allah is waiting for the regrets we should make for the sins we commit whether intentionally or unintentionally, and Allah is ready to give us everything we want just on one call let us call Him. Allah says in Quran in Surah Ghafir, verse 60:
"And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell (rendered) contemptible". [40:60]
Allah has said again and again in the Quran that He is with us wherever we go; we should call Him whenever we want or in whichever situation we are in. Muslims can keep in touch with their Creator every time by just remembering Him and by following what has been asked them to follow. Even Muslims are free to make dua anytime, it is not necessary to make dua after Salah or in Iftar after fasting, but at any time. Islam is the easiest religion where there are way too simpler methods to connect with the Lord.

Trust (2010)

Ian suspects Cal is a spy for Headmaster just as the group's escape plan begins to come together. When he finds Cal in CJ's room, Ian begins to suspect CJ is giving Cal inside information. Elsewhere, a group of students known as The Broken are discovered in the woods. Emily Wright then reveals that she intends to join The Broken and their resistance. These actions may have also led to the Art teacher's dismissal (Art was the faculty advisor for the school newspaper). The group agrees to meet The Broken, but find their hideout empty. Ian and CJ clear their trust issues, and Headmaster meets with the school's head administration, telling them that The Broken is mended, but Ian is still "broken", but not for long.

Michigan Sustainability Case: Can Smallholder Farmers Adapt to Warming Temperatures in India? (Online Module)
Climate change is threatening food security across the globe, and this is especially true for smallholder farms in the tropics. India in particular is expected to be significantly impacted by warming temperatures, with some studies estimating up to a 20% decline in staple crop yields by mid-century. In this online module, we examine the extent to which farmers in India can adapt to warming temperatures and the potential constraints to adaptation that farmers face. We use a multi-media platform that combines video interviews with farmers across northern India, data analysis of household surveys, and literature reviews of key papers on this topic.

The Long-term Effect of Humanitarian Emergencies on Adolescents: Existing evidence, gaps and considerations for research and practitioners
Innocenti Discussion Papers2018 28 Aug 2018
This short paper grew out of discussions at a two-day research workshop focused on famines and adolescents. It explores some of what we do and do not know about the impacts of humanitarian situations on adolescents' lives. Adolescents and their specific capacities and vulnerabilities have tended to be overlooked in the design and implementation of humanitarian responses, including in social protection and further components of such responses. This paper seeks to bring these questions to the attention of researchers, policy makers and practitioners in order to address identified priority gaps; build on existing knowledge; invest in better evidence generation; and include adolescents in research and response efforts in meaningful ways. Such improvements to humanitarian responses would assist in developing more inclusive efforts that consider all ages in the child's life-course; aim for more sustainable well-being outcomes and help meet core commitments to children in these settings.

You can now play as Shara in a new prequel story that happens before Mirai's story! While the core dungeon progression is similar to the main game, the dialog and bosses are very different. In this mode, there is no town, no meta progress, and no job system. Shara does not gain XP nor levels like Mirai does. Instead, you can spend JP to level up your core stats. By doing so, your XP level increases gradually.
You can learn new abilities in two ways: first, by opening Pandora's Boxes. These give you an option of three random skills from the entire pool of regular job abilities, and you can pick one. Second, by resting at Campfires, you will have an option of several random Shara-only abilities, of which you can pick one each time. You'll have to plan and adapt on the fly based on what items and abilities you find.
Overall, Shara's story provides a fresh new way to play Tangledeep and experience a new story at the same time!

Senate Chairman Raza Rabbani on Tuesday directed the federal government to make legislation for moon sighting in order to resolve the issue of dual start of Ramzan and celebration of Eid in the country.
"There should be a specific law to deal with the issue of moon sighting so that conflict can be eliminated forever through a legal cover," the Senate chairman said.
Rabbani added it was beyond understanding why Ramzan commenced in Pakistan and India on Tuesday while it commenced in rest of the countries on Monday.
Rabbani was in conversation with Federal Minister for Religious Affairs Sardar Yousaf during the proceedings of the house.
Yousaf informed the House that Ministry of Religious Affairs has already drafted a bill to regularise the issue of moon sighting in the country however, the ministry of law raised objections over the proposed law.
"According to the ministry of law, moon sighting is a provincial matter and the federal government cannot legislate on the issue," Yousaf said.
The minister added that resolutions are required from at least two provincial assemblies for enabling the federal government to draft legislation in this regard.
Rabbani also directed the members of PTI to make ensure the passing of a resolution from the KP assembly empowering the federal government for making legislation on moon sighting.

Two years after announcing the arrival of Duralink, Memjet has unveiled DuraFlex, a printhead that is intended for more rugged applications than Versapass, but is not pitched at high volume production printing. DuraFlex will feature at Labelexpo for current and prospective OEMs to look at. Deliveries to these will begin in Q2 next year, but it is important that they can formulate their own development plans around this printhead.
DuraFlex uses the same thermal inkjet technology as Memjet's other printheads. It is what r&d head Tom Roetker calls a tick-tock development. It includes elements from the high performance Duralink head to move the Versapass users forward.
This has two colour channels per head and uses the same type of pigment ink as the Duralink. This will open up a wider set of applications – producing labels for outdoor use for example. Flat sheet packaging, mailing and some flexible packaging will come into its footprint with the new head able to address higher volumes than Versapress.
Like the production focused Duralink, the new head is rated at 50 litres before replacement, ten times that of Versapress. And it will run at three times the speed of the entry level printhead. It therefore requires larger ink systems and a much larger data pipe to feed the 1600dpi printhead. This can either be an embedded Rip built on Global Graphics technology or a third party Rip.
But there is one area where DuraFlex will be unique, at least for the foreseeable future. It will come as a page wide printhead for SRA3 printing, wider than any other page wide head currently available. This will be more economical than stitching two A4 page wide heads together let alone four standard size printheads.
The technology Memjet believes will result in a new type of product. Currently many smaller commercial printers are priced out of inkjet printing. "A lot of inkjet printers are mom and pop shops," says Kim Beswick, general manager Memjet office and desktop solutions. "They can't afford a $1 million press for digital printing. This will help those companies transition to digital printing."
At a resolution of 1600 x 950dpi, the head will run at 46 metres/minute, faster than equivalent electrophotographic presses. Print width is 320mm, adequate for A3 with bleeds and marks. The wider print head will make it easier for developers to incorporate the technology for wider print widths with less need for stitching where heads join each other.
While the appeal for a class of suppliers and printers, the volume buyers will be those supplying the office market. The A4 page wide configuration of the first printhead won converts because of the simplicity of integration. DuraFlex is a little more complex in that four colour printing will need two print heads. It is taking this simplicity to a two page market where there is opportunity in the conversion from toner to inkjet.
"We can deliver offset levels of quality," says Beswick, "and for a longer operating period than we can with Versapass. The small size of the droplet means we print without showing transitions in vignettes and being able to replicate 2pt Asian types.
"We think DuraFlex can have a big impact of the print on demand packaging segment which is driven by commerce and for market testing."
By Gareth Ward
Memjet will show its latest printhead at Labelexpo. The Duraflex printhead is available in A3 page wide form with two colours offered per head and with each running 50 litres of ink before needing replacement.

NEW DELHI: Flipkart and Amazon have a reason to thank the controversial TikTok. Popularity of the Chinese social media app, which lets people record short videos and post them online, has boosted sales of mobile phone tripods and accessories up to 10 times in a year.
Tripods to prop up smartphones while recording videos and other products like mobile holders, connectors and on-the-go cables are selling like hot cakes across ecommerce platforms and retail stores in India as more and more people take to the video-sharing app to showcase their 'talent.'
Flipkart and Amazon told ET that they've seen a huge spike in product categories, with sales sky rocketing to anywhere between 300% and 10 times within a year. More interestingly, higher sales are emanating from small towns and cities said industry insiders, where people use apps like TikTok in the hope of becoming social media influencers, and in turn get money from advertisers to plug in their product in a bid to be seen by the large follower base. "The biggest killer app today is Tiktok, more so in rural markets.
Short-duration video-sharing will become the biggest killer app in India, which is driving the sale of these value-added mobile phone accessories such as LED flashlights, tripods and stands," said brand specialist Harish Bijoor. "Video sharing is value addition, and value addition has monetary benefit.
The more the number of followers you have on your video sharing app, the better, and the more visual you share, the quicker you become an influencer, and then monetary benefits follow," said Bijoor.
Despite its popularity, TikTok has been in focus globally and in India on concerns of privacy violations, data security and being an easy vehicle for online bullying. The Prime Minister has directed the IT ministry to keep a close watch on the app.
In a statement to ET, TikTok said it has over 200 million Indian users across tier I, II and III cities. India has some 500-550 million smartphone users currently.
"TikTok has given people an avenue and a voice to showcase their talent and connect with like minded people. This spirit has led to a lot of creators to come forward, create content and showcase their passion, talent and skills amongst a varied audience, thereby carving an independent identity," the company said.
A number of factors have worked for TikTok's popularity, which has spurred demand for its related accessories, as per market watchers. Indian carriers are giving rock bottom data tariffs and plans that give high speed data by the truckload. Second, the easy availability of the mobile phone accessories through online portals, which deliver to a higher number of pin codes today than previously. Third, a large pricing range – Rs 300-5,000 – which enables people of all classes to purchase these accessories.
And lastly, the ability of making videos in local languages.
"We have seen users exploring educational content on the platform. Users from the remotest labels, electronics and furniture.
An Amazon India spokesperson told ET the platform has seen a 300% increase in unit sales of bestselling monopods from 2018 to 2019. "Another interesting product line with 200% increase in unit sales are smartphone gimbals," gimbals are used for stabilising a camera or mobile phone camera while making a video on the go and can be priced between Rs 3,000 to Rs 30,000 apiece.

Darryl and Donna had a pretty good life until the new computer arrived in their home last October. The couple live with their two young daughters in a small Manitoba town, the sort where the joke runs that "if you don't know what's happening in your life, ask your neighbour." Even so, Darryl (who insisted their names be changed for this article) wasn't about to confide in any neighbours when his spouse of 15 years began, as he puts it, "acting funny," soon after the computer's arrival. Housework went undone, he says, while Donna sat by the hour at the screen. In mid-January, gnawing suspicion finally overcame him. Charging $69 (U.S.) to his credit card, Darryl downloaded some software from the Internet and in minutes installed it on the family PC. Then he went to bed and left the machine to his wife.
"I got up at five the next morning," Darryl said a week later, his voice trembling over the telephone. "I went and turned on the computer. And I saw what I didn't want to see." The program from Vero Beach, Fla.-based SpectorSoft Corp. had done exactly what it promised. In heartbreaking detail, it had recorded every single move Donna made online, every Web page she visited and every remark she typed into a chat window. Including the explicit sex talk she had shared with several men.
Welcome to the age of anywhere, anytime, any body surveillance. Like some darker version of Tang and Teflon, technologies first conceived by national spy agencies and the military are now being retooled as security products for home and business. Civilian programmers have been busy creating entirely new breeds of spyware to exploit the inherent vulnerabilities of the digital environment. As hardware prices drop and software flits effortlessly across the Net, privacy-busting tools once the sole preserve of the CIA and the KGB are turning up at the 7-Eleven, in the office cubicle—and the bedroom. To keep them at bay, privacy experts foresee a future lifted from the pages of a Tom Clancy novel: every citizen with a secret key to encrypt his cyber-thoughts, and multiple identities to conceal his true one.
Those doing the spying are not only the villains of the imagination, however. True, new technologies for surveillance (and concealment) have found eager fans among organized criminals. True again that the Internet has created a global playground for creeps and perverts. Cheap spy gear and the Net have even come together to spawn a disturbing new epidemic of technologically enhanced voyeurism amid the explosion of online porn (page 24).
It could be your boss, your government' your spouse, or a sexual creep. As technology explodes, the law can't keep up.
But companies are also spying, on workers as well as on customers. Governments in several countries have given themselves new rights to snoop on their citizens. Parents have found new ways to keep an electronic eye on their kids. And in small but growing numbers, husbands are cyber-spying on wives, wives on husbands. Sales of the program Darryl used to catch Donna have tripled in the past year. The American Management Association says two out of every three U.S. companies monitor employees online. Even as fearless a fellow as former RCMP commissioner Norman Inkster, who now runs KPMG Investigation and Security Inc., admits: "It all gets a little scary. There is a point where one needs to be concerned Big Brother is watching."
Unlike the malignant state agency of Orwell's fiction, though, the new millennium has democratized surveillance. Anyone can spy. That is particularly evident in the plummeting price and widening availability of covert audio and video surveillance devices. Drop in to Spy-Central, on Vancouver's Robson Street, or any store like it in any Canadian city, and you might stroll out with a charming Art Deco mantel clock. Concealed behind the face is a video camera. Cost: about $300. Sound recorders hidden in pens go for under $200. Explains Elmer Ventura, one of Spy-Central's owners: "A lot of business people are walking into meetings and recording everything. Then, I have a few clients who come in every three or four months, empty the shelves onto the counter and pay cash for everything."
Other new technologies are extending the capabilities of those ubiquitous video security monitors. By one popular estimate, they record the image of every urban Canadian an average of 15 times a day. As the cameras have proliferated, the sheer volume of images threatens to overwhelm those watching. To the rescue comes biometric software able to match the images to vast databases of photo IDs. Police in British Columbia and Ontario both use computer programs to match surveillance pictures to faces (and names) contained in digital mug-shot files. Many casinos deploy similar software to identify and keep out known cheats. At January's Super Bowl in Tampa, Fla., authorities scanned the faces of 100,000 people entering the stadium, identifying 19 with criminal records.
But it is the Internet where privacy's defences are most porous. From legitimate scrutiny by employers, to the schemes of sexual predators, the Net's digital underpinnings and culture of anonymity expose users to a jungle of online risks. Some are truly terrifying. "Cyber-stalking is a very big complaint," says Det. Bruce Headridge of the Organized Crime Agency of British Columbia, based in the Vancouver suburb of Delta. Complaints have doubled in the past year, he says, frequently after a contact made in a chat room turned sour. A common stalker ploy is to send copies of indiscreet e-mail to employers, in hopes of having the victim fired. More frightening for one U.S. woman was a stalker who sent out dozens of e-mails claiming she fantasized about being raped. Says Headridge: "She actually had someone come to the door and say they wanted to rape her."
The Net has also unleashed a spate of what investigators call "lurings"—instances of older men (and occasionally women) using the Internet to target vulnerable young girls and boys, whom they then persuade to leave home and join them. "In one three-month period," says Det. Noreen Waters of the Vancouver police, "we had five children lured away from home in British Columbia—that we know of." In one case, a 58-year-old man from Oregon introduced himself to a 12-year-old boy from the B.C. interior as another 12-year-old, eventually persuading his target to buy a bus ticket to Seattle (the youngster's father intervened before he boarded the bus, and the Oregon man was arrested). In another, a 21-year-old Saskatchewan woman convinced a 14-year-old B.C. boy to run away from home with her; they lived in her car until police found them and arrested her. The lurers each took advantage of anonymity on the Internet to disarm their victims in the artificial intimacy of online chat rooms. "If a stranger came to your door wearing a bag over his head," suggests Waters, "and said they wanted to spend hours every day with your daughter in her bedroom with the door closed, would you let them in? Yet every day, parents are allowing strangers into their kids' bedrooms through the Internet."
Criminals hide their own identity online; they can also steal yours—or at least enough personal information to masquerade as you. Data banks containing credit-card information are high on hacker target lists—and routinely breached. Last month, police heard from three Halifax computer companies that someone was using credit-card accounts to make unauthorized purchases. The card numbers turned out to have been stolen from databases in the United States and Britain—by hackers in Eastern Europe. At other times, Web sites ranging from Airmiles.ca to Yahoo! have accidentally exposed sensitive customer data. Small wonder as many as 90 per cent of consumers surveyed say privacy concerns deter them from shopping online.
Misuse of e-mail need not be criminal to be painful. A 26-year-old Briton, Claire Swire, was mortified just before Christmas when her boyfriend, Bradley Chait, passed a sexy e-mail message she had sent him on to several friends—who then forwarded it further to what became a readership of millions. The affair hit the London tabloids; Swire went into hiding. In June, 1999, Canadian Forces naval Capt. David Marshall lost his command of CFB Esquimalt on Vancouver Island, after flirtatious e-mail exchanged with a woman other than his wife surfaced in a local paper.
Those misfortunes reflect as much on individual judgment as on the nature of the Net. But determined digital intruders have more specialized tools at their disposal. Back Orifice is one program hackers can use over the Net to seize control of Windows-based personal computers (a program called Timbuctu has similar powers over Macintosh machines). Once activated, Back Orifice lets the remote hacker treat the target computer as his own, accessing password files and even controlling attached devices. Boasts Det. Headridge, who has mastered the software: "You know those nice little cameras everybody's got on their PCs? I can turn it on. If it's in your bedroom, I can film whatever you're doing."
A creepy new trend targets PCs with so-called always-on high-speed connections to the Net. Using Back Orifice or a similar program, hackers can install additional software that makes the machines act as Internet servers. One scam is to store child pornography on unused space on the target PC's hard drive—or on Web pages associated with its Internet account. In effect, the PC's owner is now the unwitting host of an illegal porn site.
But not everyone sneaking around online is a bad guy. Last fall, Montreal police traced communiqués claiming responsibility for a series of bombing attacks on Second Cup coffee shops—targeted for their use of English—to a Microsoft Hotmail account. Former FLQ terrorist Rhéal Mathieu has since been charged in the attacks.
Police in every major country have pressed for new powers to intercept what travels over the Internet. In 1999, Australia gave its authorities the right to enter homes surreptitiously to hack into suspects' computers. More recently, British and U.S. police won government blessing for their plans to install eavesdropping devices in Internet service providers' premises. The devices—ominously code-named "Carnivore" in the American case—act much like telephone taps, allowing police to intercept e-mail on its way to and from a specified Internet address. Canada has yet to give its police similar authority, but a report released last October by the normally super-secret federal Communications Security Establishment argued that e-mail interception "may be required" for the CSE to protect government computer networks against viruses.
The RCMP would also like expanded powers. "Are we in a position to intercept Internet communications? Not really," concedes Chief Supt. Pierre-Yves Bourduas, the force's Moncton, N.B.-based Atlantic organized crime unit boss. "We haven't got the capabilities." Instead, Canadian police can only present a court warrant authorizing them to examine whatever traffic logs an Internet service provider may keep.
On the other hand, the same anonymity that empowers predators on the Net can be put to use by their pursuers. A little over two years ago, former B.C. MLA George Kerster exchanged e-mail with someone who claimed to have a "curious and undeveloped" 11-year-old girl available for sex. In subsequent e-mails, Kerster expressed his interest in meeting her—for a price. On Jan. 12, 1999, Kerster met a woman claiming to be the girl's mother at an East Vancouver fast-food joint and followed her to a hotel to consummate the deal. It was only there he learned he had been corresponding with police. Last week, a B.C. Supreme Court judge found Kerster guilty of attempting to obtain the sexual services of a minor.
Business has also found uses for online surveillance. Some are controversial, but most are also clearly sanctioned by law. Many Web sites place tiny scraps of program code, called "cookies," onto the computers of Web surfers who visit. The code identifies the computer so the site can recognize it as a repeat customer if it returns. But many cookies also track every other site the computer visits—and report back to their owners. Last June, New Jersey Web site operator Chris Specht took on giant America Online Inc. (now the even more gargantuan AOL Time Warner) in court, claiming its Netscape Communicator browser conducted "continuing surveillance" of its users. That case continues, but last month, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission abandoned an investigation into complaints that New York City-based Double-Click, the Internet's biggest advertising agency, improperly used cookies to track customers.
Canadian law offers consumers more privacy protection than American statutes—but is also untested. The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act came into force at the beginning of January. It requires federally regulated companies— and all others eventually—to get consumers' consent before collecting information about them. But the law has yet to face fire in court. And its power to protect Canadians in dealings with big American players like Amazon or eBay is uncertain at best.
Whatever your e-store is up to, however, your boss's right to spy on you is, legally speaking, well-nigh unassailable. "The standard is the old concept of the master-servant relationship," explains Paul Kent-Snowsell, a Vancouver lawyer who specializes in Internet cases. "It has always been cause for dismissal if you're not using company time to do company work." Last August, Dow Chemical Co. fired 74 employees in Texas and Michigan for using their computers to circulate pornography—joining the 28 percent of surveyed U.S. companies that have already fired workers for e-mail abuse. Several outfits sell programs to monitor workers' Internet transactions—often bundled with other software designed to protect corporate networks against virus attacks. But according to Robert Lendvai, marketing director for one vendor, Ottawa's Kyberpass Corp., while Canadian corporations routinely invoke anti-viral firewall features, only about one in five activates the monitoring powers.
Consumer versions of corporate firewalls that deter some kinds of intrusion are available. Blacklce, Norton Anti-Virus and McAfee VirusScan are among popular software packages that protect home PC users from programs like Back Orifice. Many such home firewalls also let users disable commercial cookies.
But they are largely impotent against an emerging strain of domestic spyware that pushes the ethical debate onto sensitive new ground. As many as half a dozen products that secretly monitor every key struck on a target PC are available over the Internet for as little as $27. The man who created the software Darryl used defends his work. SpectorSoft president Doug Fowler says he first wrote the program to give small companies the same oversight powers as larger ones, and to help parents monitor their children online. And some buyers use the software for exactly such purposes. Six months ago, retired Toronto businessman Wilson Markle put Fowlers software on the PCs his 18-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son each have in their bedrooms. So far, he says, the daily reports he receives have given him nothing to worry about.
But Spectors president acknowledges that spying on your spouse has turned out to be his products "killer app." After Fowler experimentally offered a copy to catch "cheating husbands" in an auction on eBay in July, 1999, he says, "our sales tripled within 60 days." He admits the lopsided response troubles him: "I'd rather parents were using it to watch the kids at home." Nonetheless, he argues, "there is a lot of online infidelity. It's easy to get addicted to it and it's not easy to stop." He claims that a third of people who engage in online affairs eventually move their liaisons into the real world.
Such spyware remains in a legal grey zone. The phenomenon is too new to have been addressed directly in law. But analysts say Spector and its ilk are likely legal when deployed on a home computer the spyware-user owns (as well as on work computers when installed by the employer). But other applications could violate some provinces' privacy protection statutes. For his part, Wilson Markle says he would remove the software from his daughter's computer if she left home to attend university. And he acknowledges reservations about the program's covert operation. "Even if you're a very experienced person," says Markle, who has a background in computer surveillance, "you won't find it."
There may be no simple defence against being spied on by your near and dear. But tools are emerging to reduce the vulnerability of private e-mail, and to help solve the flip side of the "lurer" problem: how to prove you really are who you say you are online. Several vendors sell software that will encrypt digital documents and, if you like, sign them with a nearly unbreakable code identifying you as the sender. One version is available from Canada Post for as little as 65 cents a message. Ottawa, meanwhile, plans to announce later this year what form of digital proof of identity it will endorse for citizens who want to access federal services online. Bureaucrats are currently debating whether to assign every Canadian a unique "digital identity certificate," or to bow to concerns that such a single identifier might—like social insurance numbers—be prey to abuse.
For those who don't wish to be followed online by trails of e-commerce cookies, so-called anonymizing software, sold by companies like Canada's Zero Knowledge Inc., create digital pseudonyms that subscribers use to surf the Web anonymously. Alex Fowler, the Montreal company's San Francisco based vice-president for "policy and advocacy," foresees a day in the near future when every citizen maintains multiple identities for different online activities—one to shop, another to deal with government and perhaps several more for use in chat rooms—as the only means of keeping some control over what they reveal about themselves. "People realize there are all these different aspects to their identity online," says Fowler (no relation to Doug). "Identity management is a skill not many of us have today, but we'll all have to develop it."
Fowler the privacy advocate and Inkster the ex-cop share a common fear. Both worry that the reach of surveillance technology is expanding far faster than most ordinary citizens know—and that it could soon become even more frighteningly all-embracing. For Fowler, a key battleground is the arcane world of technical standards groups, where engineers and interest groups—but seldom the public—set the rules that ensure that everything from Internet servers to cellphones can be closely monitored. To Inkster, controlling the creeps and the criminals means accepting new means of surveillance—but only with checks and balances to protect individual privacy. "In the past, we could sometimes make a certain assumption of privacy," Inkster reflects, "because we knew the technology couldn't be there. Now the technology is there. The question becomes, will the law ever catch up?"
To parent Markle, there is no doubt: the race is over and technology has won. "Anybody who doesn't have a thing to hide has no problem," he says. "Those who do have something to hide will have a problem. I take comfort in that." Darryl is not so sure. "This program," he says, "I praise it and I curse it." Fish bowls may be fascinating to watch. They are likely to be less enjoyable to live in.

The Speaker's Lobby: A Land War In Asia
By: Chad Pergram, FOX News
09 February 2010
The conventional wisdom holds that the election of Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) confounded the Democrats' health care reform efforts.
Certainly Brown was a part of it. But here's the real problem: When it came to the health care reform battle, Democrats got involved in a land war in Asia.
The cult movie classic The Princess Bride warned that's a big no-no.
"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders," chortles one character in the film when he believes he's outfoxed a rival. "The most famous of which is 'never get involved in a land war in Asia.'"
But sure enough, the Democrats got entrenched in a land war in Asia on health care reform.
Consider this: The health care reform campaign has been a protracted battle for Democrats. The fight dragged on for months. It soiled party morale and alienated some of the Democrats' most loyal troops. After a while, the public grew restless, as exhibited at last August's town hall protests. Yet the Democrats forged ahead. And against all odds, they moved a health care reform bill out of five Congressional committees last summer. They even passed health care bills in both the House and Senate. And just to get there, the Democratic leadership repeatedly cleared major parliamentary hurdles erected by Republicans at every turn.
In short, the Democrats won every major battle. Yet they still haven't won the war.
Much like a battle fought in Asia more than 40 years ago.
The bill morphed and changed and evolved so many times that few lawmakers could even tell you what was in the bill. Or even what the final objective was. The health care debate dragged on and on. The public grew anxious. And at times, even violent.
The Democrats succeeded. But at a tremendous political cost.
Many of their members took tough votes on health care. Republicans now appear to be within striking distance of regaining control of the House. And Democrats are dazed as to the road ahead to finishing the job.
As Sun Tzu wrote in The Art of War, "Victory should be swift. If victory is slow, men tire, morale sags."
At this stage for Democrats, health care could be their political Vietnam. A war with no clear exit strategy.
The health care reform effort now lingers in suspended animation. It's in parliamentary purgatory. Frozen in carbonite like Han Solo. Side streets in the nation's capital have a better chance of getting cleared of the prodigious snowfall before Democrats salvage their flagging health care reform bill.
Health care remains at the top of President Obama's agenda. Or he so indicated in an interview with CBS's Katie Couric on Sunday. And the president plans to jawbone health care reform with Republicans and Democrats at an open forum later this month. But Republicans are already skeptical. In a letter addressed to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) argued that "Republicans would rightly be reluctant to participate" unless Mr. Obama starts fresh.
"I anticipate making a decision (on how to proceed on health care) as soon as the way forward is clear," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said cryptically two weeks ago.
Visibility in Washington's blizzard is clearer than the path ahead on health care reform.
"There's no doubt in my mind we'll pass significant health care (reform)," said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT). "I thought that before Massachusetts. I thought that after Massachusetts."
All Democrats want to pass health care reform. But many lawmakers are restless about jobs and the economy. And their own jobs, come this fall. Many lawmakers running in swing districts want Democrats to pivot away from health care and get onto jobs.
But the land war continues.
"Don't let health care even look like it's on the back burner," said House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-NY). "You can't even have it perceived that health care is dead."
So the Congressional Progressive Caucus, an assemblage of the most liberal members of the House, fired off a letter a few days ago to Democratic leaders "to put a public option back on the table as health reform moves forward."
The "public option" is where the government provides health insurance coverage for some Americans. That plan was all but dead in the Senate. And a scaled-down version of the public option limped out of the House. And now, with health care reform struggling for survival, some Democrats are pushing a provision that they could barely round up votes for in the first place.
Democrats slaved for the better part of a year and expanded incalculable political ammo in the health care jungles. In the House, they tacked on a controversial, anti-abortion amendment to guarantee the support of pro-life Democrats. Senate leaders had to craft special deals with Sens. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Ben Nelson (D-NE) just to garner their support for the plan. Critics decried Landrieu's to secure an extra $300 million in Medicaid as the "Louisiana Purchase." Nelson asked for the federal government to pick up Nebraska's tab for a proposed Medicaid expansion. Opponents assailed that horse trade as the "Cornhusker Kickback."
"They did not help. They frustrate me," Mr. Obama said to Couric about the side arrangements.
Those arrangements may have been essential to schlepping the health care bill through the Senate. But that contributed to the Democrats getting bogged down in what has become a political quagmire. The Democratic brain trust can't satisfy liberals who want the bill to have more government involvement in health care. And other lawmakers, like Rep. Zack Space (D-OH) contend they can't just vote for the Senate's version of the bill in the House, citing the way in which the leadership courted Sens. Nelson and Landrieu.
So the Democrats continue fighting their land war in Asia. They're taking heavy enemy fire on the front lines. Shrapnel is flying all over the place. And back home, people are protesting.
Democrats are cemented in a drawn-out war. And unlike Vietnam, just can't declare victory and go home.

It already feels like APW happened a week ago. Three days of getting simultaneously sunburned and rain soaked, traveling home on the L train at peak weekend sexy hours covered in mud, and funnel cakes topped with meat and cheese. Moral of the story– my body hurts and brain won't work, but for all the right reasons.

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude
"Gratitude can be cultivated at any age," said Jennifer Breheny Wallace in a recent Wall Street Journal article.* The author cited a 2012 national online poll of 2000 adults, which found that 59 percent of those surveyed thought that most people today are less likely to have an attitude of gratitude than 10 or 20 years ago. She goes on to show that a growing body of research points to the many psychological benefits of regularly counting your blessings.
The article reminded me of the time I heard Tony Robbins speak at a five-day business mastery conference in London. Something he said really struck a chord: that we should be grateful for the trials and tribulations we have gone through because they have made us the person we are today. We need to have an attitude of gratitude for these experiences; doing so helps us to reframe them for our benefit. Robbins said that the more we acknowledge and appreciate our lives and the opportunities we have to grow, the more that positive things will show up—and we should make time to express gratitude for all of it. https://www.tonyrobbins.com
Robbins also suggested that we should not live in a suffering state because it is a lousy state to be in. We should choose to live in a beautiful state each day, no matter what, because life is too short to suffer. By changing how we frame things, we can choose to live with an attitude of gratitude for everything that comes our way.
I meet many business owners who are living in a suffering state because their business is not performing the way they envisioned it. We can help you diagnose what isn't working in your business and get it back on track. Let us help you use your trials as the launch pad to achieving what you've always dreamed of.

Stephen A. Smith is in Las Vegas along with ESPN's First Take to report live from the scene of Saturday night's blockbuster fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor.
During the show on Friday, Stephen A. decided to make a special entrance with one of the most well-known dance groups.
The Jabbawockeez, who won the first season of America's Best Dance Crew in 2008 and have since become staples performing at Las Vegas casinos, opened the number before Stephen A. came out and showed off dance moves of his own.
It wasn't quite on the level as Shaq's performance with the group during the 2009 NBA All-Star Game, but it's the most tolerable Stephen A. has been in quite some time.
Check it out below:
Mayweather vs. McGregor takes place tomorrow night, Aug. 26, live on pay-per-view.

If Bush is safe, what about us?
Peter Mckay
Last updated at 00:00 17 November 2003
An unnamed courtier is quoted as saying: 'Her Majesty takes the view that no amount of strengthening of windows and walls could protect the President in such an eventuality and that the work would cause disruption and involve discarding original fixtures and fittings.' It's very British for our monarch, faced with the prospect of an airborne assault on Buckingham Palace, to be more concerned with 'original fixtures and fittings'. We're good at facing down terrible threats, but like to fuss about trivial ones.
Where Americans, it was once said, may find a situation 'serious but not hopeless', we are more likely to conclude that it's 'hopeless but not serious'. Perhaps the prospect of an airborne assault on Buck House falls into this category.
Americans think bigger than we do when it comes to security, but does it make their leaders safer? Maybe, but the price is high: the President travels the world protected by legions of professional gunmen, shutting down normal life in cities everywhere that I seem to recall Prince Philip getting into trouble 40 years ago, in the aftermath of the Kennedy assassination for saying the American obsession with security sometimes had the counterproductive effect of encouraging murderous nutcases. However, we're told such security measures are he goes.
necessary because the world has become a more dangerous place. But isn't it more perilous for the rest of us, not Mr Bush, because of how he and his immediate associates are now protected? Isn't this why the September 11 plotters flew commercial jets into the World Trade Centre?
From his bomb- proof bubble, George W. Bush projects awesome American firepower all over the world. He rains death and destruction on places he'd scarcely heard of, and on people about whom he knows next to nothing, but he's safer than any other man on Earth.
All the terrorists can do by way of revenge is to kill Mr Bush's fellow Americans, or their friends.
Surely there comes a point when such Presidential security destroys the point of state visits altogether.
Noone who has not been vetted and searched gets near the President.
This visit may be taking place merely to supply useful TV footage for Mr Bush's presidential election campaign next year.
meeting he has is a scripted parody of normal life. We're told that he even has a special unit which arranges supportiveseeming crowds.
It's unlikely any terrorist - even one prepared to die in the attempt - would get near Mr Bush; it might be easier to launch an attack on the city, area or building he is due to visit.
Certainly no Londoner can feel safer tomorrow because of his presence in the city. Is he welcome? Of course he is. He represents America, our ally and friend. Yes, most of us now believe he launched the war against Iraq on false pretences, but he's not responsible for involving Britain in this dishonest enterprise. That is the responsibility of our Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
The novelist Will Self got it right yesterday when he advised those planning protests to focus on Mr Blair - 'the one who took us to war'.
The Prime Minister was so keen to throw our military weight behind America that he supplied some of the phoney 'intelligence' material used as a justification.
Had he chosen not to join America's invasion of Iraq, the Bush state visit may have been postponed or cancelled.
The hatred Mr Bush arouses here is because he got Mr Blair to involve us in the Iraq invasion, but it was the Prime Minister's choice - based on lies - and not the President's.
The jumping jackaroo
Prince Harry's 'toughing it out' year as a jackaroo at a cattle station in the Australian outback - all part of his pre-Army character-building programme - seems to be going well. Was that him (he's pictured above at the World Cup with England coach's wife Jane Woodward) smoking, swigging beer and exchanging 'high five' exclamations of triumph with fellow jackaroos at a Sydney rugby party?
As England were defeating France yesterday, I entered a strangely silent departure lounge at Aberdeen Airport, bound for Luton by easyJet.
The game was on a TV at the end of the packed room and I asked a respectable-looking old lady seated next to me how it was going. 'England's ahead,' she whispered, looking around fearfully before adding: 'I'm English, actually.' Aberdeen's clearly no place to watch an English victory of any kind.
Lucky Buckie
GROWING up on the Moray Firth coast, the most shocking thing I ever saw was a temporarily deranged housewife sprinting up the seafront in her bra and corsets, pursued by anxious friends and the village bobby.
Now I hear that ladies in my childhood village enjoy bellydancing classes while customers of the Anchor Bar in nearby Buckie were recently offered oral sex by the landlady. Other Anchor regulars canoodled on the pool table. When someone lost while actually playing the game, they were obliged to dash across the road naked to the fish factory and back.
To think I moved to London years ago believing that was where the action was.
Let's hear it for beastly Andrew, a Great British Snob ANDREW ROBERTS was the subject of a highly readable Mail on Sunday profile entitled 'Is the "Beast in the Bedroom" a great historian or just a sycophantic snob?' Surely the allegedly priapic Mr Roberts can be both. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Why is snobbery - or alleged snobbery - so loathed? Practically everyone professes not to care about who goes to which party or social event. Yet if we identify anyone who appears to be enjoying the company of supposedly grand people - and are not grand themselves - we are down on them like a ton of bricks.
A friend was invited to Buckingham Palace and afterwards - attired in tails, etc - was getting into his car just off the Mall when a passing chap inquired: 'Been to the Palace?' My friend modestly replied that he'd been to a garden party 'along with thousands of others'.
His inquisitor cried out: 'Well done!' That's the spirit I like.
Give snobs their due as they struggle upwards through storms of insults towards the frosty peaks of social eminence.
Heaven leaves us hanging
SHADOW Home Secretary David Davis says he favours bringing back the death penalty for serial murders and would prefer lethal injection to hanging.
Almost immediately, his Conservative Shadow Cabinet colleague, Tim Yeo, said this isn't official Tory Party policy and that a return to the death penalty would make it more difficult to convict murderers.
Is Mr Davis merely making himself sound tough while fronting Opposition policies which are no more Draconian than Labour's? It sounds like it. Our sensitivity about the death penalty, it seems to me, is linked to not really believing in Heaven any more.
With more of us thinking there's nothing after our lives are over, we're more loath to execute convicted murderers in case they're innocent.
When more of us believed in Heaven, we felt any mistakes we'd made about them would be straightened out in their day of judgment.
A Major blunder
JOHN MAJOR announces that the allegations against Prince Charles are 'inconceivable' and 'derive solely from a sick man known to be an unreliable witness'.
I have no objection to Mr Major saying that the allegations against Charles are untrue, even though he can't know that for sure; nor does it concern me that he then composes a long, obsequious catalogue of Charles's qualities, without mention of any flaws.
But he and the others who use the same line should realise that calling attention to former royal servant and Falklands War veteran George Smith's illnesses proves nothing.
