"Broken Bone Bathtub" Review
This past Saturday night a bit before 9pm, I stepped down into a basement apartment in Long Island City, Queens, just a couple blocks from MoMA PS 9. A few weeks ago, I read glowing reviews about Siobhan O'Loughlin's immersive theater piece Broken Bone Bathtub that occurs in private bathrooms, so I decided to check it out. Once through a small door that I had to duck under, a coat rack outside the apartment entrance received the audience. I went with a friend and we entered behind a young couple who were very excited about the experience. We stepped in to the living room of the apartment and were greeted by a cheery hostess who invited us to chocolate fondue and nuts and a few other appetizers. Red wine was also available, but required a small donation. The hostess, told us about herself, the apartment – voluntarily lent by immersive theater fans and the actress as we waited for the Siobhan to gather herself; this was the second performance of the evening.
A few minutes later, another young woman nodded to the hostess indicating that the actress was ready for us. The hostess asked for two volunteers who would be comfortable speaking and contributing to the piece. Two young women raised their hands and were taken to the bathroom for introductions and instructions. A few minutes later, the remaining four of us, were invited to enter the small bathroom; the audience was a total of six.
Siobhan sat naked in a cast iron bathtub, her breasts concealed by soap bubbles. The two volunteers sat adjacent to the bathtub and the rest of us took seats on a toilet, stool, small chair and small plastic step stool. The actress thanked us for coming asked if we were all comfortable and then began her narrative. Her left arm was in a cast, decorated with signatures and drawings. She told us about the pain and the time necessary to recover from a broken bone and the difficulties of day to day life with her left arm in a cast. She began to detail how the accident happened, riding her bike to an activist meeting along the west side of Prospect Park, headed to Grand Army Plaza. She asked if we were familiar with the area, everybody appeared to be and as I ride it regularly, she asked me to describe it. Following my description of the area, she told us that it was a rainy night and there was a husband and wife riding south as she rode north. It was dark and wet and perhaps the couple had been riding in tandem. She collided with the woman. The husband immediately attended to her wife as Siobhan found herself alone and in a great deal of pain…
Through the performance, topics such as who do we call at a moment of emergency, loneliness, whether or not we cry, were discussed by both the actress and the audience. She seamlessly moved through the responses from audience members back to her narrative. At one point she sang a song as one of the volunteers either scrubbed her back or conditioned her hair. She joked that throughout this period of healing, she borrowed the bathrooms of friends in order to not be alone. And throughout the performance she made sure to include each audience member.
The piece was smart and thought provoking. Unfortunately, the bathroom door was left ajar and at the beginning, the residents of the apartment were taking cell phone photos of us in their bathroom. Later, at times it was distracting to look out to the living room and see people on their devices. However, in general, the manner that Siobhan was able to weave the audiences's discussion in to her performance was impressive. The one weak element in the piece was unfortunately the conclusion.
Siobhan entered a seemingly heartfelt conclusion, she allowed herself to cry as she discussed moving on from the healing period. The crying and the final monologue felt contrived in comparison to the rest of the performance, because unlike the preceding narrative, it did not engage dialogue, but was instead prescriptive. The uniqueness presented by the back and forth between the actress and each audience was broken and the piece reverted to conventional theater – a one way presentation. It would have been transformative, if each conclusion appeared to vary given the audience interaction. Siobhan could still maintain the underlying message, but it would be great if she was able to draw from what was shared by a given audience to inform the concluding monologue rather than loose the sense of immersion.

Erica Glazer and David Levy
Erica and David met through JDate. They embarked on their first date in January of 2009 at a speakeasy in Manhattan. There, they sipped on cocktails served in tea cups while getting to know each other. Their relationship quickly blossomed and after spending July 4th weekend with David and his family, Erica had no doubts about their future. "After that weekend, I was head-over-heels in love and knew he was the one!" she recalls. David echoed her sentiment, "I knew she was that special one because I really, really missed her when she wasn't with me!"
In November 2010, David surprised Erica by coming to visit a day early for Thanksgiving. She heard a knock on her bedroom door and thought it was her brother. She had just gotten out of the shower, so she insisted he go away. The knocking persisted. Finally, she wrapped herself in a towel and opened the door. "David was standing there holding a bouquet of beautiful lilies. I was speechless and confused. He looked at me and said I have a present for you…" Then, he dropped to one knee and popped the question, Erica continues, "I said yes a million times with tears of joy and a smile from ear-to-ear."
The couple was joined by family and friends on December 3, 2011, at Meadowbrook Country Club for a ceremony officiated by Rabbi Bennett. The bride wore jewelry from each of her grandmothers and carried a bouquet wrapped with a piece of her mother's wedding dress. Even Erica's father played a special role for the day: He prevented a fire when her veil skimmed over a candle while she was walking down the aisle!
A reception followed with special details including a memory wall of the couple's grandparents and parents on their wedding days, a photo booth and a white dance floor that reflected a winter wonderland theme. Guests were served shooters of matzo ball soup, potato latkes and red velvet cake with edible diamonds.
The newlyweds enjoyed a pre-honeymoon to South Beach, Fla., and are planning an 'official' honeymoon in November to Antigua. Currently, they reside in Harmon Cove, N.J.
Erica Glazer is the daughter of Larry and Harriet Glazer of Chesterfield and the granddaughter of Arthur Muskin of Clayton and LaRue Glazer of Dallas. David Levy is the son of Howard and Marsha Levy of Rye Brook, N.Y. and the grandson of George and Sylvia Levy of Bronx, N.Y. and Hyman and Birtha Gelfand of Queens, N.Y.

In the fast and goofy family game Galaxy Trucker, players begin by simultaneously rummaging through the common warehouse, frantically trying to grab the most useful component tiles to build their spaceship — all in real-time.
Once the ships are launched, players encounter dangerous situations while vying for financial opportunities, each hoping to gain the most valuable cargo and finish with as much of their ship still intact as possible. Of course, that's easier said than done since many hazards will send pieces of your ship, your cargo, and your crew hurling into the depths of space.
The goal is to survive the trek — hopefully with at least some of your crew and ship intact — and have at least one credit by the end of the game. (Profit, yay!) Players earn credits by delivering goods, defeating pirates, having the best-looking ship, and reaching their destination before the others.
This version of Galaxy Trucker is a relaunch of the original 2007 release by Vlaada Chvátil that features new art, more ship tiles, tweaked card effects, and streamlined gameplay that consists of only a single flight through space. That said, should you want a longer, more challenging experience, you can play a three-flight game known as the "Transgalactic Trek".

Launched in 1984, Global SchoolNet has three decades of experience in the field of online project-based learning.
Global SchoolNet began in 1984 as the Free Educational Mail (FrEdMail) Network, when San Diego teachers Al Rogers and Yvonne Marie Andres, began linking their students to classrooms on the east coast to participate in online writing projects. Research and experience demonstrated the importance of "connected learning" and by 1990 their online network had expanded to more than 300 schools. FrEdMail closed its doors in June, 1999 after 15 years of operation. Read what some teachers thought about "FrEd."
In 2005, in the 25th Anniversary issue of Teaching and Learning Magazine, the FrEdMail Network was recognized as one of the top fifteen "Breakthrough Products" of the previous 25 years (item #12)."
Global Schoolhouse Project
In 1992, with a grant from the National Science Foundation, GSN created its first web site, called the "Global Schoolhouse," to showcase online collaborative learning.
The mission of the Global Schoolhouse was to provide a living curriculum that makes the world a laboratory and promotes the quest for lifelong learning. The original Global Schoolhouse Project involved schools in California, Virginia, Tennessee, and London. Learning clusters were formed consisting of four to six schools who worked as collaborative teams to study ground water pollution, solid waste management, alternative energy sources, space exploration, natural disasters and weather.
The Global Schoolhouse Project was an outstanding example of government, business, and the educational community working together to achieve a common goal. On April 28, 1993 the Global Schoolhouse Project was introduced to the world through an innovative demonstration of multipoint desktop videoconferencing, as part of the National Science Foundation's National Science and Technology Week. The Global Schoolhouse Project established a global online network of educators who wanted to transform the way students learn and interact with one another and their communities.
Collaborative Learning is Shared Learning
Students in a collaborative learning environment are active learners, who construct knowledge, rather than passively absorb it. Believing that education is too important to be constrained by physical, philosophical, or monetary barriers, Global SchoolNet continues to support international project-based educational experiences for students that enable them to learn together on a reciprocal basis. Each year, GSN offers a range of free projects, activities and tools, such as International Schools CyberFair, Doors to Diplomacy, Mosaics of Life, GeoGame, Projects Registry and the Collaborative Learning Center.
Online Shared Learning Teacher Awards
In 2000 Global SchoolNet launched the "GSN Online Shared Learning Teacher Award" program, to recognize educators worldwide, who are champions and advocates of online collaborative learning. GSN developed an innovative Web-based management system that solicits 3rd-party nominations of qualified teachers, obtains detailed narratives, and collects testimonials on behalf of candidates. The system allows candidates to rank and invalidate testimonials prior to judging. When the nomination process ends judging begins and the system manages the collection and ranking of evaluation scores. This process is completely Web managed, with no collection or exchange of any paper documents. The result is a library of exemplary stories and best practices from the world's top collaborative learning educators, and the top candidate is given a cash award of $7,500 and flown to the National Education Computing Conference.
Friendship Through Education
Global SchoolNet is a founding member of the White House initiated Friendship Through Education consortium, which was established in October 2001, to create opportunities that facilitate online and offline interactions between the youth of the world, in order to build a culture of peace in which the dignity and rights of all human beings are respected.

Camp Olmstead Field
During WWII, Pennsylvania held 26 POW Camps and
1 Japanese internment camp. Camp Olmstead Field in Middletown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania
held at least 281 German POWs.
Relationship with POWs
It is
clear that POW's often bonded or developed relationships while being held as
prisoners of war. Perhaps this was the result of the War's re-education program
of POW's as described in RG 389, File Unit 255.
The records in this series document the attempted re-education of German prisoners of war (POWs) along more pro-democratic and pro-American lines, as well as the cultural and religious life of POWs interned in camps in the United States and Europe." The subjects included attitudes, haircuts, education, and even "planning and releasing of American motion pictures to specific POW audiences.
WWII, 1944-1945, Charles H. Koegel, an American mechanic, served in the Army
Air Corps at Olmstead Field, Pennsylvania. According to his son, he did speak
German, implying he may have been a rather recent German immigrant. During Koegel's
WWII service, six German (or
Austrian) prisoners of war worked under his supervision as mechanics in the
motor pool. These POWs presented him
with this Christmas card (front of card above). According to family, Koegel often wondered what ever became of these men. The family still cherishes this Christmas card.
"In memory of the POW Camp Olmsted Field"
Charles H. Koegel died in 1994, his family would like to hear from any of these men or their families.

I dedicate my Apple Noms to Fallout 3, which I was playing as I figured out the dessert's details. (I was going to call them "Apple Bombs," but that name is already taken by a mixed drink.)
You are invited to enjoy them as I do, as a winter snack after a long evening of gaming.
Apple Noms
Dessert. Generously serves 2.
- 2 large apples
- "nomshell" crust:
- 1 c. whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/3 c. butter
- 1 tbsp. water
- "funpowder" filling:
- 2 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tbsp. butter
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Peel and core the apples, then set them aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour with 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.
- In a small bowl, soften 1/3 c. butter. (I zap it for 30 seconds in the microwave.) Add the butter to the flour mixture, and use a fork to gently toss and mix until evenly crumbly. Toss in the water the same way. At this point, the dough should be crumbly yet moist, and it should form a clump when pressed together.
- Coat the outsides of the apples in the crust. Use whatever method works for you. I like to press pieces of dough to pie-crust thickness and tessellate them onto the apples.
- Use any extra dough to plug the bases of the apples, especially if you cored them all the way through.
- In the small bowl, mix 1/2 tsp. cinnamon with the brown sugar. Spoon it into the empty cores of each apple.
- Divide 1 tbsp. (refrigerated) butter in half, and mash the pieces into the apple cores as well.
- Dust the apple tops with cinnamon.
- Bake the apples in a covered glass or ceramic casserole dish for 45 minutes at 350 F. Then take the lid off and bake them for 15 minutes more.
- Let the apples cool for a few minutes before carefully lifting them from the dish.
- If your dough isn't holding together, add water 1 tsp. at a time until it does.
- If your dough is too sticky, generously coat your hands in flour when applying it to the apples, and don't worry about the extra flour that will end up on/in the crust.
- If you use smaller apples, you will end up with extra dough.
- If the filling isn't filling the apple cores, add more brown sugar as needed.
- The final appearance of this dessert varies. Every kind of apple does something different in the oven. Some hold together perfectly, some seem to puff up, and others shrink inside their nomshells.
- You can make your favorite pie crust and use it instead of the hax0red crust I use.
- If you are using a sour varietal of apple, mix 1 tbsp. sugar into the crust, and/or add more brown sugar on top once it is stuffed.
- If you use unsalted butter, add a couple of pinches of salt (no more than 1/8 tsp) to the crust.
- You can use lard or shortening instead of butter, but please don't use margarine.
- You don't have to peel the apples, but if you don't, it can be tougher to get the crust to stick.
- This recipe can be doubled or halved.

I actually read this book a year and a half ago, but is one that needs to be acknowledged here. It is one that has stuck with me, and has been scribbled down and e-mailed countless times to my friends. Have you ever allowed yourself to wonder "what if"...if you'd made this decision over that one, married this person instead of that one...how would your life had changed? This book allows a delightful opportunity to peer into a parrallel life of Irina, our protagonist, and actually see the "what if".
Irina has lived in London with Lawrence, an intellectual think-tank manager, for a decade. Their relationship is comfortable and maybe a little boring. Every year they get together with their friend, Ramsey, a devil-may-care snooker champion, to celebrate his birthday. One year, Lawrence is out of town and Irina decides to continue with the tradition by herself. Irina and Ramsey proceed to get hammered (or in London, "pissed") and approach the fork in the road. You see this coming, right? At this point in the book, there are two "Chapter 2's", "two Chapter 3's", etc. In the first of the two chapters, Irina falls for the dashing Ramsey, ultimately leaves Lawrence, and lives the unpredictable and non-stop life of a snooker wife (or more appropriately a snooker widow). In the second of the two chapters, Irina resists temptation and stays with Lawrence, steadfastly loyal but bored out of her skull. Each outcome is so completely different, and unexpected, and I won't ruin it for you.
Shriver is a very talented writer and is a joy and a hoot to read. This book is FULL of ironies, some absolutely hilarious. The two story lines intertwine fabulously. For example, in one parallel life, Irina and Ramsey visit Irina's family for Christmas, Ramsey gets toasted and trashes the place, and Irina is left apologizing. In the other life, it is Irina that drinks too much and makes a mess, and Lawrence has to pick up the pieces. These clever little slights of hand had me laughing out loud. It was rated in the top 5 must reads of 2007 by Entertainment Weekly, and I know that I will read it again.

6 It seemed good to Da·riʹus to appoint 120 satraps over the whole kingdom.+ 2 Over them were three high officials, one of whom was Daniel;+ and the satraps+ would report to them, so that the king would not suffer loss. 3 Now Daniel was distinguishing himself over the other high officials and the satraps, for there was an extraordinary spirit in him,+ and the king intended to elevate him over the entire kingdom.
4 At that time the high officials and the satraps were seeking to find some grounds for accusation against Daniel respecting matters of state,* but they could find no grounds for accusation or anything corrupt, for he was trustworthy and no negligence or corruption could be found in him. 5 These men then said: "We will find in this Daniel no grounds for accusation at all, unless we find it against him in the law of his God."+
6 So these high officials and satraps went in as a group to the king, and they said to him: "O King Da·riʹus, may you live on forever. 7 All the royal officials, prefects, satraps, high royal officers, and governors have consulted together to establish a royal decree and to enforce a ban,* that for 30 days whoever makes a petition to any god or man except to you, O king, should be thrown into the lions' pit.+ 8 Now, O king, may you establish the decree and sign it,+ so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and the Persians, which cannot be annulled."+
9 So King Da·riʹus signed the decree and the ban.
10 But as soon as Daniel knew that the decree had been signed, he went to his house, which had the windows of his roof chamber open toward Jerusalem.+ And three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed and offered praise before his God, as he had regularly done prior to this. 11 At that time those men burst in and found Daniel petitioning and pleading for favor before his God.
12 So they approached the king and reminded him about the royal ban: "Did you not sign a ban stating that for 30 days any man who makes a petition to any god or man except to you, O king, should be thrown into the lions' pit?" The king replied: "The matter is well-established according to the law of the Medes and the Persians, which cannot be annulled."+ 13 They immediately said to the king: "Daniel, who is of the exiles of Judah,+ has paid no regard to you, O king, nor to the ban that you signed, but three times a day he is praying."+ 14 As soon as the king heard this, he was greatly distressed, and he tried to think of a way to rescue Daniel; and until the sun set he made every effort to save him. 15 Finally those men went in as a group to the king, and they said to the king: "Take note, O king, that the law of the Medes and the Persians is that any ban or decree that the king establishes cannot be changed."+
16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the pit of lions.+ The king said to Daniel: "Your God whom you are continually serving will rescue you." 17 Then a stone was brought and placed over the entrance* of the pit, and the king sealed it with his signet ring and with the signet ring of his nobles, so that nothing could be changed with regard to Daniel.
18 The king then went to his palace. He passed the night fasting and refused any entertainment,* and he could not sleep.* 19 Finally at the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions' pit. 20 As he got near the pit, he called out to Daniel with a sad voice. The king asked Daniel: "O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God whom you are continually serving been able to rescue you from the lions?" 21 Daniel immediately said to the king: "O king, may you live on forever. 22 My God sent his angel and shut the mouth of the lions,+ and they have not harmed me,+ for I was found innocent before him; nor have I done any wrong to you, O king."
23 The king was overjoyed, and he commanded that Daniel be lifted up out of the pit. When Daniel was lifted up out of the pit, he was completely unharmed, because he had trusted in his God.+
24 The king then gave an order, and the men who had accused* Daniel were brought, and they were thrown into the lions' pit, along with their sons and their wives. They had not reached the bottom of the pit before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.+
25 Then King Da·riʹus wrote to all the peoples, nations, and language groups dwelling throughout the earth:+ "May you have abundant peace! 26 I am issuing an order that in every domain of my kingdom, people are to tremble in fear before the God of Daniel.+ For he is the living God and he endures forever. His kingdom will never be destroyed, and his rulership* is eternal.+ 27 He rescues,+ saves, and performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth,+ for he rescued Daniel from the paw of the lions."
28 So this Daniel prospered in the kingdom of Da·riʹus+ and in the kingdom of Cyrus the Persian.+

Peace activists can hasten an end to the U.S. war in Afghanistan by demanding a timetable for U.S. military withdrawal. A bill in the U.S. Congress introduced by Representatives McGovern and Jones, requires such a timetable. In the Senate, a similar bill has been introduced by Senator Feingold. Arguments in favor of a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan should include readiness to examine disturbing patterns of misinformation regarding U.S./NATO attacks against Afghan civilians.
It is worth noting that even General McChrystal acknowledges that U.S. forces have killed civilians who meant them no harm. During a biweekly videoconference with US soldiers in Afghanistan, he was quite candid. "We've shot an amazing number of people and killed a number and, to my knowledge, none has proven to have been a real threat to the force," said General McChrystal. "To my knowledge, in the nine-plus months I've been here, not a single case where we have engaged in an escalation of force incident and hurt someone has it turned out that the vehicle had a suicide bomb or weapons in it and, in many cases, had families in it."
Those families and individuals that General McChrystal refers to should be our primary concern. We should try to imagine the sorrow and horror afflicting each individual whose tragic story is told in the "timetable" of atrocities committed against innocent people. How can we compensate people who have endured three decades of warfare, whose land has been so ravaged that, according to noted researcher Alfred McCoy, it would cost $34 billion dollars to restore their agricultural infrastructure. We should notify our elected representatives that the $33 billion dollar supplemental funding bill sought by the Obama administration to pay for U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq could be directed toward helping Afghanistan replant its orchards, replenish its flocks, and rebuild its irrigation systems. We should insist on an end to atrocities like those which follow.
The list below describes, in part, the suffering and agony that people in Afghanistan have endured since April, 2009. To focus on this list doesn't excuse atrocities committed by Taliban fighters. It does indicate our own responsibility to urgently educate others and ourselves about a deeply disturbing pattern: U.S./NATO officials first distribute misleading information about victims of an attack and later acknowledge that the victims were unarmed civilians.

Place: Khost Province, Ali Daya
Circumstances: U.S. forces were positioned on the rooftop opposite the home of Brigadier Artillery officer Awal Khan. In a night raid, U.S. forces burst into Awal Khan's home. Awal Khan was away from home. His family members ran to the rooftop, believing that robbers had entered the home. When they emerged on their rooftop, U.S. forces on the opposite roof opened fire, killing Awal Khan's wife, his brother, his 17 year-old daughter Nadia, and his fifteen year-old son, Aimal and his infant son, born just a week earlier.
U.S. /NATO initial response: April 9, 2010, coalition forces issue a statement that the four people killed by troops were "armed militants." Later that same day [another statement] (http://washingtonindependent.com/38058/us-accepts-responsibility-for-khost-civilian-casualties) admits that further inquiries "suggest that the people killed and wounded were not enemy combatants as previously reported."
U.S. /NATO acknowledgement that the people killed were unarmed civilians: The Times of London reported the following, on April 11, 2009:
The US military conceded that its forces killed the civilians in error during the night-time raid that targeted the neighbouring compound of a suspected militant. The father of the dead family is a lieutenant-colonel in the Afghan Army fighting the Taleban in the restive province of Ghazni.
The US military reported that two males, two females and an infant were believed to have died in the incident, and two other women were wounded. A relative of the dead family told reporters that the dead infant was a boy born last week. "This was a terrible tragedy," a US spokesman, Colonel Greg Julian, told The Times.

Place: Paktika Province
Circumstances: In a night raid, U.S. forces attacked a home where 25 people, 3 of them musicians, had gathered for a naming celebration. A newborn was being named that night. One of the musicians went outside to relieve himself. A flashlight shone in his face. Panicked, he ran inside and announced that the Taliban were outside. A police commander, Dawoud, the father of the newborn, ran outside with his weapon. U.S. forces opened fire, killing Officer Dawoud, a pregnant mother, an eighteen year old, Gulaila, and two others.
U.S. / NATO initial response: February 12, 2010–U.S. forces claimed that the women had been killed earlier, in an honor killing. Nato's initial press release bore the headline: "Joint Force Operating in Gardez Makes Gruesome Discovery." The release said that after "intelligence confirmed militant activity" in a compound near a village in Paktika province, an international security force entered the compound and engaged "several insurgents" in a firefight. Two "insurgents" were killed, the report said, and after the joint forces entered the compound, they "found the bodies of three women who had been tied up, gagged and killed."

The UN issued a scathing report, stating that the U.S. had killed the women. Villagers told Jerome Starkey, reporting for the Independent, that U.S. troops tried to tamper with evidence by digging bullets out of the womens' bodies and out of the walls.
U.S. /NATO acknowledgement that the people killed were unarmed civilians:
April 6, 2010–Almost two months later, the Pentagon was finally forced to admit that international forces had badly bungled the raid that night in Paktika, and that U.S. troops had, in fact, killed the women during their assault on the residence. One of the women was a pregnant mother of ten, and the other was a pregnant mother of six children.

Place: Convoy en route to Kandehar
Circumstances: U.S. aerial forces attacked a three-car convoy traveling to a market in Kandehar. The convoy had planned on continuing to Kabul so that some of the passengers could get medical treatment. At least three dozen people were passengers in the three cars. The front car was an SUV type vehicle, and the last was a Land Cruiser. When the first car was hit by U.S. air fire, women in the second car jumped out and waved their scarves to indicate that they were civilians. U.S. helicopters continued to fire rockets and machine guns, killing 21 people and wounding 13.
U.S./NATO initial response: February 22, 2010–The day after the attack, the U.S.-led military coalition said that NATO forces had fired on a group of "suspected insurgents" who were thought to be on their way to attack Afghan and coalition soldiers a few miles away. When troops arrived after the helicopter strike, they discovered women and children among the dead and wounded.

U.S. /NATO acknowledgement that the people killed were unarmed civilians: April 12, 2010–"ISAF deeply regrets the tragic loss of life in Zhari district this morning. According to ISAF operational reporting, four civilians were killed, including one female, and five others were treated for injuries at the scene of the incident today. Upon inspection, NATO forces discovered the vehicle to be a passenger bus."
April 13, 2010–The New York Times reported that "a military spokeswoman confirmed that a convoy traveling west, in front of the bus, opened fire, but said the second convoy was traveling east toward the passenger bus. She also said the driver of the bus was killed. A survivor, however, identified himself as the driver and said he did not violate any signal from the troops. 'I was going to take the bus off the road,' said the man, Mohammed Nabi. 'Then the convoy ahead opened fire from 60 to 70 yards away,' he said."

Date: April 20, 2010
Place: Khost Province
Circumstances: A NATO military convoy attacked a car approaching a checkpoint, claiming that the car sped up after being warned to stop. Four young men were killed. According to the New York Times, "The shooting Monday night in Khost province sparked an immediate outcry from the victims' family, who insisted that all four were civilians driving home from a volleyball game. 'The youngest boy was just 13,'said Rahmatullah Mansour, whose two sons and two nephews were killed in the shooting. Mansour said that the victims in Monday's shooting were his sons Faizullah, 13, and Nasratullah, 17; and nephews Maiwand and Amirullah, both 18. He said all were students except Amirullah, who was a police officer."
Initial U.S. / NATO response: April 21, 2010–From the New York Times: "Without offering proof, NATO described the dead as two insurgents and their "associates." In a statement on Tuesday, NATO said the vehicle ignored warning shots and accelerated toward the military convoy. But the statement did not challenge the Afghan account that no weapons were found in the vehicle."
U.S. /NATO acknowledgement that the people killed were unarmed civilians: April 22, 2010–NATO acknowledged Wednesday that four unarmed Afghans who were killed this week when a military convoy opened fire on their vehicle were all civilians, correcting an earlier claim that two of the dead were "known insurgents."

"They shot him six times. In his heart, in his face, in his head," Sidiqi said on Thursday, April 29th. Both legs were broken.

Andrea Anania, who retired from CIGNA as Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer ten years ago, only had one option for her undergraduate degree: the City of New York system because it was free. Her parents simply lacked the funds to support her.
In honor of that formative experience, she and her husband, James G. Stewart, decided to endow a $50,000 scholarship for one student in the MIS program each year (matched by the Fox School for a total endowment of $100,000), beginning fall 2017. Anania, who went on to have a successful career in information technology, and her husband believe very strongly in the value of an education.
"I had to work my entire way through college, and I hope this scholarship relieves some financial pressure for the recipients so they can focus on their studies," said Anania, who ended up receiving an excellent free undergraduate education from the City of New York system. "In addition, it would be wonderful if it also helped some students make the decision to come to Temple rather than go elsewhere."
As a Fox IT advisory board member, Anania feels particularly passionate about the Management Information Systems program at Temple because she has seen it blossom under the leadership of Munir Mandviwalla, Ph.D., who has created vibrant partnerships with industry to help shape the program's curriculum, provide input into research topics, and educate a pool of qualified candidates.
Mandviwalla has also used the program's advisory board to remain responsive to changing demands in the marketplace, enhancing the curriculum's focus on software development and project management. Anania noted she feels that the students coming out of Temple's program are highly qualified to enter the workforce.
"I have formed a deep relationship with Temple over the years and wanted to continue to strengthen the field where I had a very meaningful and challenging career," said Anania, explaining why she chose to endow the scholarship at Temple.
Particularly, Anania and Stewart are interested in helping smart students with good work ethics succeed.
"Temple attracts that type of student," she said. "It is tremendously gratifying to know this scholarship could help diligent, intelligent students who only need some financial assistance to make their dreams come true."

You can use Google Chart Tools with their default setting - all customization is optional and the basic setup is launch-ready. However, charts can be easily customizable in case your webpage adopts a style which is at odds with provided defaults. Every chart exposes a number of options that customize its look and feel. These options are expressed as name:value pairs in the options object passed into a chart's draw()
Charts usually support custom options appropriate to that visualization.
For example, the table chart supports
a sortColumn
option to specify the default sorting column, and the pie
chart visualization supports a colors
option that lets you specify
slice colors. Each chart's documentation should describe the options
that it supports.
You will pass your options in as an optional second parameter
to the chart's draw()
described previously. You specify options by creating an object with properties
specific to each chart.
The following example demonstrates creating an options object that specifies all of these properties:
var options = { width: 400, height: 240, title: 'Toppings I Like On My Pizza', colors: ['#e0440e', '#e6693e', '#ec8f6e', '#f3b49f', '#f6c7b6'] }; chart.draw(data, options);
Here's the chart that this code creates.
You can also specify options literally within the draw()
chart.draw(data, { width: 400, height: 240, title: 'Toppings I Like On My Pizza', colors: ['#e0440e', '#e6693e', '#ec8f6e', '#f3b49f', '#f6c7b6'], is3D: true });
Here's the chart that this code creates.

Terms and Conditions of Sale, Supply and Service for FELUWA Pumpen GmbH
A.) Scope of Application
a) The following terms and conditions apply to all deliveries and performances, regardless of whether the individual case is a sales contract or a contract for work and services or a contractual relationship of yet another nature.
b) These conditions of sale and delivery apply exclusively; terms and conditions of the purchaser that oppose or deviate from these shall not be recognized by the supplier, unless it has explicitly confirmed their applicability in writing. These conditions of sale and delivery are also applicable if the supplier, in awareness of the purchaser's terms and conditions that oppose or deviate from these, carries out the delivery or service to the purchaser without reservation.
c) These conditions of sale and delivery are also applicable for all future business with the purchaser, even if they are not explicitly agreed upon.
B.) Conclusion of Contract, Modifications of Contract, Assignment of Rights
a) The documents which are a part of the offer (e.g., photographs, drawings) as well as data about the extent of the delivery, appearance, performance, dimensions, weight, consumption of operating materials, operating costs, etc., are only approximate values unless they have expressly been designated as binding. The supplier retains rights of ownership and copyrights to cost estimates, drawings and other documents. They must not be made available to third parties and shall be returned upon request.
b) The contract shall be deemed concluded when the supplier has confirmed acceptance of the order in writing or has commenced delivery or performance. If the supplier has submitted an offer which is subject to a time limit, the contract shall be deemed concluded when the client has submitted written acceptance of the offer in due time.
c) Oral secondary agreements and amendments to the contract shall not become effective until the supplier has confirmed them in writing. Obvious spelling or calculation errors may be corrected retroactively.
d) The client cannot assign his rights and accordingly claims from this contract. However, § 354 a HGB remains unaffected.
C.) Prices
a) The prices are given ex works, including loading in the works, but excluding packaging, plus applicable value-added tax in conformity with the applicable provisions of the delivery or performance country. To the extent that binding remuneration of the supplier has not been agreed, the supplier's prices in effect on the day of the delivery shall apply.
b) Engineering work, installation and commissioning will be invoiced separately. The invoicing may be calculated at either a flat rate or according to actual expenditure, plus for example travel costs, subsistence allowance and overnight expenses, overtime, surcharges for overtime, dirty work bonus, surcharges for Sundays and public holidays.
c) Price changes are admissible if there has been a lapse of more than
6 months between conclusion of the contract and the agreed date of delivery. The supplier is entitled to adjust prices to the extent that the new price is in the same ratio to the agreed price as the price of the delivery and performance according to the valid price list on the day of the delivery is to the price of the delivery according to the valid price list on the day of the conclusion of the contract. With respect to other deliveries and performances not shown in a price list, the supplier is entitled to make a price adjustment which is reasonable in view of the circumstances.
d) If costs or charges are included in the prices and the former are raised following the conclusion of the contract, or if they become due additionally following conclusion of the contract, the supplier is entitled to invoice the client for the additional amount.
e) If at the request of the client the supplier is prepared to make an exchange, the supplier is entitled to invoice the incurred costs, no less, however, than the amount of the loss in value resulting from aging and use, plus 10.0% of the agreed price of the originally agreed object of the delivery, as compensation for the expenditures incurred by the supplier due to the exchange. The supplier may not demand the flat-rate cost compensation described in the above provision if the client proves that no, or only minor, damage or expenditure resulted for the supplier.
D.) Payment, Default of Payment, Set-Off, Retention
a) In the absence of deviating agreements, payment for the delivery of machines and spare parts shall become due within 14 days of the delivery, for services within 30 days of the invoice date without deductions.
b) Any and all outstanding receivables shall become due and payable immediately – even if an extension or other delay of payment has been granted – as soon as the client is more than 5 workdays in default of fulfillment, in whole or in part, of his obligations to the supplier or if circumstances arise which substantially reduce the creditworthiness of the client (e.g., deterioration of assets, delay or suspension of payments, excess debt, downgrading of credit rating by trade credit insurer, objections to bills of exchange and cheques, filing of a petition for institution of bankruptcy proceedings or the institution or dismissal thereof). The supplier may in this case refuse all further deliveries or performances and request the provision of reasonable security for his claims.
c) Payment by invoice of exchange is subject to special agreement. Invoices of exchange and cheques will only be accepted subject to redemption. The client shall bear collection and discount charges. No cash discount will be granted for payment by bill of exchange or in the event that there are overdue payments, even if such a discount has otherwise been agreed.
d) The client may offset supplier's claims solely against undisputed or non-appealable claims. The client has a right of retention only if his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship and is undisputed or non-appealable, or if the supplier has committed a gross violation of his obligations from the same contractual relationship. However, this provision is without prejudice for the right of the client to retain a reasonable part of the purchase price due to defects of the supplier's performance.
e) If the client is in default of payment, interest at a rate of 8.5% above the basic interest rate shall be paid on the supplier's claims. This provision is without prejudice for the supplier's claim for compensation for additional damage.
f) If the client suffers deterioration of assets in the meaning of para D.)b), the supplier may withdraw from the respective contract after the client has failed to provide appropriate security within an reasonable timeframe. This provision is without prejudice for further statutory claims of the supplier, e.g., damage compensation. Damage compensation claims of the client are excluded.
E.) Delivery Time, Partial Performances, Delay of Acceptance, Withdrawal and Provisos by the supplier, claims for damages by the supplier
a) Delivery and installation periods do not commence until the supplier and the client have reached agreement on all details of the performance and all terms and conditions of the transaction and the supplier has confirmed the order. Said periods shall be suspended as long as the client is in default of fulfillment of his contributory obligations from this contract (e.g., provision of documents, supply of materials, permits, releases) or of an agreed advance payment.
b) The delivery period shall be deemed as observed if the object of the delivery has left the works or if notification of readiness for shipping has been given before lapse of the period.
c) The delivery time shall be appropriately extended in cases of force majeure, strike, lockout and other unusual, unforeseen circumstances or delays by a preliminary supplier of the supplier for which the supplier is not answerable, provided that these circumstances have a demonstrable effect on the delivery time. In cases of absent, incorrect or late performance by a preliminary supplier for which the supplier is not answerable, the supplier can withdraw from the contract if the event renders it impossible for the supplier to perform or if it cannot perform after an appropriate extension to the delivery time as per the previous sentence. Furthermore, the supplier can withdraw from the contract if it cannot procure the performance of a preliminary supplier necessary for its own performance (for example a part, a drive or a component) or if it cannot procure this performance on reasonable terms, for reasons that lie within the sphere of the purchaser or the terms of the performance of the supplier to the purchaser (for example, with regard to the person of the purchaser or the country to which the delivery is supposed to be made). In the case of withdrawals as described above, compensation claims by the purchaser are excluded.
d) If the supplier's performance is delayed, he shall nevertheless not be in default of performance to the extent that the delay is caused by circumstances which he could not foresee and prevent when taking reasonable precautions and which he could not overcome by taking reasonable measures.
e) The supplier is entitled to withhold his performance as long as the client does not fulfill his obligations to the supplier from this or another contract or due to other legal reasons.
f) Partial performance is admissible to the extent that it is reasonable for the client. Such partial performances shall be deemed independent legal transactions which may be invoiced separately.
g) If the terms and conditions of payment are not observed, if the delivery is not accepted in due time or if the acceptance thereof is refused or if security which has been agreed or is due in accordance with para D.)b) has not been provided, the supplier is entitled, following fruitless lapse of a reasonable extension, to withdraw from the contract. If the client is obligated to compensate the supplier in such cases on the merit of a claim, the supplier may claim without further proof damage compensation from the client in the amount of 30.0% of the order total for series products, 75.0% of the order total for individual products and 100.0% for special design to the extent that the client does not prove that no damage, or only minor damage, has resulted. This provision is without prejudice for a claim of greater damage upon substantiation.
h) If at the request of the client the dispatch is delayed, the supplier may invoice either the storage and maintenance costs actually incurred or a flat rate in the amount of 0.5% of the invoice amount per month; the latter is, however, not permitted if the client proves that the supplier suffered no, or only minor, damage or incurred no, or only minor, expenditures.
This provision has no effect on the client's payment obligations.
i) The fulfillment of the contract on the part of the supplier is subject to the provision that there are no obstacles resulting from national or international regulations of foreign trade legislation or embargoes (and/or other sanctions). In the case of such obstacles, compensation claims by the purchaser are excluded.
F.) Transfer of Risk, Shipping and Acceptance
a) The risk shall pass to the client no later than the point in time of the dispatch of the object of the delivery. This provision shall also apply to partial performance, or if the supplier has agreed to bear the costs for shipping or installation, or if he performs the delivery himself. No liability is accepted for the most favorable freight charges or transport time.
b) If the delivery, the shipping or the acceptance of the object of the delivery is delayed by the client due to no fault of the supplier, all risks, including the risk of deterioration or loss of the object of the delivery as well as all risks resulting from the object itself, shall pass to the client as of the notification of the readiness for shipping or notification of completion.
c) Upon written request, the consignment will be insured at the client's expense for the cover sum he requests.
d) The client is liable for any and all damage which he causes by his negligence during or before acceptance of the object of the delivery (e.g., sampling, any acceptance procedure to be performed, etc.).
e) Delivered objects shall be accepted by the client, even if they are defective, without prejudice for his rights.
G.) Complaint of Defects, Guarantee, Guarantee Period
a) The client shall examine the object of the delivery immediately after receipt and lodge written complaint of any defects without delay. The client shall also examine the object of the delivery for defects before every commissioning, in particular regarding safety and suitability for use. During its use, the object of the delivery shall be monitored constantly with regard to safety and defects. If there are even slight reservations concerning the suitability for use or the slightest reservations concerning safety, the object must not be used or its operation must be shut down immediately. The supplier shall be given written notification immediately, specifying the reservations or the defect within the scope of a complaint of defects. The client shall allow the supplier the time and opportunity required to perform any and all remedies and replacement deliveries which the supplier regards as necessary. Otherwise, the supplier is released from liability for any consequences resulting there from.
b) If the supplier's performance is defective at the time of the transfer of risk, the supplier shall perform subsequently, at his discretion remedying the defect or delivering a defect free object in exchange for the defective object delivered. Replaced parts become the property of the supplier. If subsequent performance regarding a defect is not possible, has finally failed, is unreasonable for the client, or if the supplier has refused both types of subsequent performance, or if a reasonable extension for subsequent performance granted to the supplier has fruitlessly lapsed, the client may at his discretion reduce the remuneration for the supplier or withdraw from the contract. If there is only a minor defect, however, the client has only the right to reduce the remuneration.
c) If the supplier has fraudulently concealed a defect or given a guarantee for the quality of the object, the statutory regulation shall apply.
d) Unauthorized remedy of defects by the client or third parties shall result in the loss of all claims due to defects on the supplier. The supplier will not bear the costs for the remedy of defects by the client or third parties without the express prior agreement of the supplier. This provision does not apply in urgent cases, especially when delay is not possible, in which the operating safety is endangered or in order to prevent unreasonably great damage. In such cases, the supplier shall be notified immediately and shall be obligated to reimburse only the necessary costs.
e) In particular, the supplier does not accept any guarantee or any warranty obligation for damage in the following cases: unsuitable or improper use, defective installation or commissioning by the client or third parties, natural wear and tear, defective or negligent handling, improper maintenance, excessive load, unsuitable operating materials and replacement materials, poor work, unsuitable foundation, chemical, electro technical, electronic or electric influences. This exclusion does not apply if the supplier is responsible for the damage in conformity with the more specific provision of the regulation in para H.)e). There shall also be no liability and respectively warranty obligation for the supplier in particular for the following measures and actions taken by the client or third parties and the consequences thereof: improper remedy of defects, change of the object of the delivery without the prior agreement of the supplier, addition and insertion of parts, in particular of spare parts which do not come from the supplier or which the supplier has not expressly approved for insertion, and failure to follow the operating instructions.
f) The supplier does not grant any warranty for material provided by the client or acquired on the basis of specifications predetermined by the client or for designs predetermined by the client.
g) The supplier does not grant any warranty for possible material defects for the sale of used machines, devices or parts. The supplier does not guarantee any quality and points out that used machines and parts frequently do not have the same quality as newly manufactured machines and parts, also with respect to their ability to perform.
h) The client's claims for subsequent performance as well as his possible claims for damage compensation or reimbursement for expenditures due to defects shall be time barred after one year following delivery of the goods for deliveries, for installation after one year, following formal acceptance or, if a formal acceptance shall not be carried out, after one year of conclusion of the installation. If the acceptance of the object of the delivery or the acceptance of the delivery and performance is delayed due to no fault of the supplier, the guarantee shall expire no later than 12 months after readiness. An analogous provision applies to subsequent performance. If the supplier has fraudulently concealed the defect or has given a guarantee for the quality of the item, the statutory regulation shall apply to the time-barring of any claims on the part of the client based thereon. The statutory regulation shall also apply to the time-barring of any damage compensation claims of the client because of defects if the supplier is guilty of intention or gross negligence or if the damage compensation claim is based on an injury to life, body or health.
i) Any and all other further claims of the client are excluded, in particular for damage compensation, including compensation concerning damage which did not result on the object of the delivery itself. Para H.)e) applies accordingly.
H.) Withdrawal of the client, Damage Compensation claims of the client, limitation of Actions
a) The client may withdraw from the contract if the complete performance finally becomes impossible for the supplier before the transfer of risk. A claim by the client for damage compensation due to final impossibility of the performance is excluded unless the supplier is guilty of gross negligence. Any claim for damage compensation is limited to the damage foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract and resulting from the usual course of events and is limited in amount to a maximum of 15% of the contract sum. The client may also withdraw from the contract if, for an order of identical items, the delivery of a part of the ordered items in terms of quantity becomes impossible and the client has a justified interest in refusing a partial delivery. If this is not the case, the client may reduce the counter performance accordingly.
b) If the impossibility occurs during delay of acceptance on the part of the client and without it being gross negligence on the part of the supplier or by responsibility of the client, the client shall be obliged to the valuable consideration and is not entitled to withdraw from the contract in accordance with para a) above.
c) The client may withdraw from the contract if the supplier is in default of his performance, to the extent that said performance is due, the client has previously set a reasonable extension without success, and the supplier is responsible for his non-performance. A claim by the client for damage compensation due to the supplier's default of performance is excluded unless the supplier is guilty of gross negligence. Any claim for damage compensation is limited to the damage foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract and resulting from the usual course of events and is limited in amount to 0.5% for each full week of delay, in total to a maximum of 5% of the value of that part of the total delivery which cannot be used in due time because of the delay.
d) The client's right to withdraw from the contract – beyond the cases regulated above in para a) and c) in accordance with statutory regulations in the event of a violation of obligations for which the supplier is responsible and which does not result from a defect remains unaffected.
e) Any and all other more extensive claims of the client arising from the breach of contractual obligations and unauthorized activities carried out as part of the contract are excluded, in particular for termination and for damage compensation, including claims for damage compensation in lieu of performance and reimbursement of expenses and claims for compensation of damage of any type, also concerning damages which did not result on the object of the delivery itself. All further claims on the part of the client for any other legal reason, including claims on the part of the client for breach of pre-contractual obligations and unauthorized activities carried out at the initiation or conclusion of the contract are excluded. This exclusion of liability does not apply if the supplier is guilty of gross negligence. Furthermore, this exclusion of liability does not apply in the event of culpable violation of the essential contractual obligations of the supplier (these are obligations imposed on the supplier with regard the content and purpose of the contract and whose breach jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract; also obligations whose fulfillment mainly facilitates the proper performance of the contract and the observance of which the client relies on, and may rely on, regularly). Furthermore, this exclusion of liability does not apply to any claim of the client for damage compensation based on an intentional or grossly negligent injury of life, body or health. Finally, this exclusion of liability does not apply in those cases in which liability is compulsory in accordance with the Product Liability Act for personal injury or material damage to privately used objects. If these cases result in the supplier's liability – or in deviation from the above provisions in other cases due to contractual or statutory basis for claim – said liability shall be limited to compensation for the foreseeable damage resulting from the usual course of events and which has been proven in each individual instance. However, this limitation of liability does not apply to any liability in accordance with the Product Liability Act due to defects of the object of the delivery for personal injury or for material damage to privately used objects. This limitation of liability also does not apply to any claim by the client for compensation for damages resulting from injuries to life, body or health that have been caused intentionally or due to gross negligence. Furthermore, this limitation of liability does not apply if the supplier is guilty of intention.
f) Damage compensation claims of the client on the supplier by violation of contractual obligations and by actions in tort committed during the performance of the contract shall be time-barred no later than one year after the end of the year in which the claim arose and the client learned of the circumstances substantiating the claim and of the person of the debtor, or would have learned thereof without gross negligence. This also applies to claims for compensation for damages by the client against the supplier for any other legal reason, including claims for compensation for damages for the breach of pre-contractual obligations and unauthorized activities carried out at the initiation or conclusion of the contract. If the debtor is guilty of intention or gross negligence, the statutory regulation shall apply. Furthermore, the statutory regulation shall apply to any damage compensation claim based on an intentional or grossly negligent injury of life, body or health.
g) Insofar as the liability of the supplier is excluded or limited, this also applies to any personal liability of its legal representative and members of staff. The statue of limitations for claims asserted by the client against the legal representative of the supplier and its members of staff are outlined in para f) above.
I.) Security
a) The object of the delivery remains the property of the supplier until full payment of the agreed price and of all other claims, including future claims, from the business relationship with the client. If in the context of the payment of the purchase price the supplier becomes liable on the basis of bills of exchange, the retention of title does not lapse before all bills of exchange have been completely redeemed by the client.
b) The client assigns now to the supplier the claims arising from the further sale of the objects of the delivery in the amount of the value of the objects of the delivery and all secondary rights The client is authorized to collect the claim. The authority of the supplier to collect the claims himself remains unaffected hereby.

The supplier shall be given written notification immediately of any attachment by third parties on the object of the delivery or on claims assigned to the supplier, in particular pledges.
e) During the period of the retention of title, the client is in principle entitled to possess and make use as intended of the object of the delivery.

The client is, under exclusion of rights of retention, obligated to surrender the object. The client shall bear any and all costs of the repossession and exploitation. The supplier is entitled to private sale.
The client shall upon request immediately submit to the supplier on the request of the supplier a catalogue of the claims assigned in conformity with para b) to the supplier, as well as all additional information and documents necessary for exercise of the claims to which the supplier is entitled, and inform the debtors of the assignment. The client shall maintain the object of the delivery in proper condition during the retention of title and allow the supplier or a workshop authorized by the supplier, with the exception of emergencies, to perform immediately all of the maintenance and repair work prescribed by the supplier.

If the client is prohibited from manufacture or delivery by a third party on the basis of an industrial property right, the supplier is entitled to cease work. In this case, the supplier may withdraw from the contract and demand compensation for his damage as well as his costs and expenditures. The client is under no obligation in accordance with clauses above to provide indemnification, compensation for loss expenses or reimbursement of expenses, if the client is not liable for the infringement. Other possible statutory claims and rights of the supplier remain unaffected in every case.
L.) Export controls
The purchaser must advise the supplier in writing as soon as possible, but not later than two weeks after placing of order, of all information and data required by the supplier in order to comply with the applicable foreign trade legislation and for licenses, provided that their procurement is the responsibility of the supplier according to the contract. Furthermore, the supplier can demand such information at any time.

It is released for use on the object of the delivery intended for this purpose. The use of the software on more than one system is prohibited. The client may reproduce, rework or translate the software or convert from the object code into the source code only within the legally permissible scope (Sec. 69 a ff UrhG, Copyright Act).

Norton Cybercrime Index
The Norton Cybercrime Index is a free tool available at Norton.com and webwide. It measures and warns cyber-citizens about real-time cybercrime threats around the world. You'll see it displayed on location in places like London and New York's Times Square. The intent - to provide visibility into the daily battle against cybercrime.
A Powerful Digital Ally
In the battle against online bad guys, information is power. The Cybercrime Index merges an immersive, consumer-friendly graphical interface with authoritative cybercrime data sources to empower online citizens. It creates a critical marketing focal point and differentiator for one of the world's top-3 consumer software companies.
"Symantec is very appreciative of the incredible amount of effort FINE put into building the Cybercrime Index. The results were spectacular."
1 / 0
Tech Heavy Lifting
What appears to be a seamless, fluid infographic on the surface requires robust technology behind the scenes. To connect the front-end consumers see on their mobile and desktop browsers to the myriad back-end data sources that deliver the data, FINE coded a custom middleware application. The orbs seen in the user interface may figuratively create order out of digital chaos; the technology behind the index literally does it.
A Global Campaign
The index became a centerpiece in a worldwide brand communications effort. Advertised in FINE-created ads and widgets, deployed in kiosks in New York and London, and promoted through public relations outreach, the net result is a brand message that compels consumers away from indifference and into the fight against cybercrime.

The Hundred Story House is a piece of interactive public art. It is a miniature Brooklyn brownstone whose windows open upon shelves of books (about 100 of them) which can be borrowed by the community. Situated in the Cobble Hill Park on Clinton Street, the House is a tiny lending library open to all and operating on the honor system -- take-a-book, leave-a-book. This is an effort to celebrate the BOOK as a physical object, and the pleasure of holding one in your hand. Or better yet, placing one in someone else's.

A volcano on Indonesia's Sumatra island spewed hot smoke and ash high into the air Wednesday, in its latest violent eruptions.
Mount Sinabung has erupted repeatedly in recent days, pumping hot gas clouds up to three kilometers (1.8 miles) into the sky, the local disaster agency said.
The clouds of smoke shrouded the sky above a school in North Sumatra province but children continued to play outside in the yard in the shadow of the volcano.
Local authorities insist the school is safe as it is outside a seven-kilometer (four-mile) restricted area around the volcano, which has been erupting almost continuously since 2013.

Villagers also continue their precarious existences despite the eruptions, putting on masks to go shopping as ash falls from the sky, and tending to their crops.
Over 2,000 families have been evacuated from around the rumbling volcano in recent years, and many will soon be relocated to new villages after lengthy stays in temporary shelters.
Sinabung roared back to life in 2010 for the first time in 400 years. After another period of inactivity it began erupting again three years later.
In May last year seven people were killed in one of Sinabung's eruptions, while in February 2014 an eruption left 16 people dead.
Indonesia is home to around 130 volcanoes due to its position on the "Ring of Fire", a belt of tectonic plate boundaries circling the Pacific Ocean where frequent seismic activity occurs.
