From a cyber crime law to an internet civil rights framework
In 2007 a law establishing penalties for cyber crimes was on the verge of being approved in the Brazilian Senate. The bill had been discussed in Congress for eight years, but it was significantly altered at the last stages of the legislative process in order to include provisions of the European Convention on Cybercrime. With such changes – activists argued – the government would criminalise everyday practices of consumers and would open the way for criminalising file sharing.
Civil society activists and academics started pressurising senators to change the proposed law. As the campaign gathered momentum it turned into a massive campaign against criminal law being applied in the context of the internet and a positive push for a civil rights framework for the internet. After activists managed to persuade Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the importance of a rights framework for the internet, the Brazilian government set up a model participatory process for drafting the legislation, which is now ready to be debated in Congress.
Early legislative process
On 24 February 1999 Deputy Luiz Piauhylino submitted the proposed law on cyber crime (PL 84/1999) to the Chamber of Deputies (the lower house of the Brazilian Congress). The law proposed established criminal penalties for damage to computer data, unauthorised access to a computer or computer network, unauthorised use of data, the introduction of malware and publishing of pornography without warning. On 5 November 2003, after four years of legislative processes, the bill, with minor alterations, was approved by the Chamber of Deputies and subsequently submitted for further approval by the Senate. Nearly three years of additional legislative processes ensued in the Senate. In June 2006, an opposition Social Democrat senator, Eduardo Azeredo, proposed an amendment incorporating provisions in accordance with the European Convention on Cybercrime – a convention to which Brazil was not a signatory. The amendments created broad definitions for the crimes, which could result in criminalising trivial things like unlocking mobile phones or making backup copies of DVDs. It could also oblige internet service providers (ISPs) to identify users and log all internet connections in Brazil, opening the way for the criminalisation of file sharing.
The change to the legislation was backed by a coalition of strong corporate and state interests, including the Brazilian Federation of Banks (FEBRABAN), which wanted stronger criminal sanctions to fight bank fraud; police organisations and public prosecutors who wanted identification and logs to help investigative work; and the copyright industry which wanted a way to identify users, as well as criminal sanctions, to combat "piracy".
After the amendments were included in the bill, civil society groups and academic experts grew concerned with the potentially negative outcomes of the proposed legislation and became involved in the process by opening up discussions with senators from the ruling Workers' Party. In 2007, Senator Aluizio Mercadante of the Workers' Party began negotiations with Senator Azeredo to incorporate minor changes that civil society was demanding. In June-July 2008, a new version of the legislation was agreed on by Social Democrat and Workers' Party senators. But because the bill had been further amended it had to be once again approved in the Chamber of Deputies.
Civil society campaign against the cyber crime bill
Four days before the amended bill was to be voted on again in the Senate, university professors André Lemos and Sergio Amadeu and internet activist João Caribé launched a petition asking for senators to veto the proposed legislation [Lemos, A., Amadeu, S. and Caribé, J. (2008) Pelo veto ao projeto de cibercrimes: em defesa da liberdade e do progresso do conhecimento na Internet brasileira] . One week after it was launched, the petition gathered nearly 30,000 signatures, with this number growing as the campaign evolved (it had gathered some 160,000 signatures by July 2011).
The debate became so polarised that the Brazilian Ministry of Justice intervened in order to work on a compromise between supporters of stronger criminal penalties and advocates for more freedom on the internet. NGOs and academic groups, such as the Getúlio Vargas Foundation's Centre for Technology and Society [Centro de Tecnologia e Sociedade (2008) Comentários e Sugestões sobre o Projeto de Lei de Crimes Eletrônicos] and the University of São Paulo's Research Group on Public Policies for Access to Information (GPoPAI) [Grupo de Pesquisa em Políticas Públicas para o Acesso à Informação (2008) Carta ao Ministro da Justiça], produced technical studies that were sent both to the Ministry of Justice and the Congress highlighting the negative effects of the bill and asking for it to be stopped. Mainstream media gave broad coverage to the controversy – turning what was on the face of it a sectoral concern into a major political topic polarising Brazil's two largest political parties. In 2008 and 2009, industry, civil society and police institutions organised seminars all over the country, and Congress called for several public hearings. The topic was so controversial that even though it had been discussed in Congress for ten years, it had not been settled (and remains unresolved at the time of writing this article – August 2011).
From a criminal law to a civil rights framework
A significant twist in the debate occurred when Professor Ronaldo Lemos from the Getúlio Vargas Foundation published an article [Lemos, R. (2007) Internet brasileira precisa de marco regulatório civil, UOL, 25 May.] arguing that a civil regulatory framework had to precede a criminal framework for the internet. Slowly, the idea that civil law must precede criminal law gained support and became part of the demands of activists opposing the cyber crime bill. Lemos' idea was that we needed a regulatory framework – that is, regulation of the internet services provided to customers which is especially clear on civil liability. However, activists expanded the idea to include a civil rights framework – a change probably inspired by discussions at the Internet Governance Forum on a Charter of Human Rights and Principles for the Internet [For more information, see the website of the Internet Rights and Principles Coalition]. The demand became an integral part of the campaign and found its decisive moment at the 10th International Free Software Forum (FISL) that took place in Porto Alegre in July 2009. FISL is an annual free software forum, similar to Linux World, although significantly more political. At the tenth forum, organisers decided to place the threats to a free internet at the core of the proceedings. Both President Lula and Chief of Staff Dilma Rousseff (now the president of Brazil) spoke at the closing conference of the event. In his speech, Lula criticised the cyber crime proposal as a threat to freedom of information and said that his government would be willing to do whatever was necessary to correct the situation, including changing civil regulation [The full speech is available on YouTube]. The Ministry of Justice promptly reacted to the remark by starting a process to build a civil rights framework for the internet in October 2009.
The public consultation for the civil rights framework
The Ministry of Justice decided that the public consultation process should follow the open and participatory nature of the internet, and so opted for a three-step process. First, it commissioned a comparative study of civil regulations of the internet and, based on experiences in other countries, it came out with a systematic list of topics that the civil rights framework should encompass. This list was then put out for public consultation for a period of 45 days, and posted to a website which allowed free comment and input, including suggestions for the removal or addition of clauses. Comment was unmoderated and did not require logging in. More than 800 contributions were received during this phase of the consultation.
The contributions were then consolidated and a draft revised text was published for further public discussion and comment. An additional 1,168 contributions were received by May 2010. Public debate spilled over onto blogs, into public seminars and the press – which itself followed the debate closely. The process, given its openness and participatory nature, was so successful that it quickly became an international benchmark for participatory and transparent law making [It has since then been adapted to other law-making processes such as the reform of copyright law.]
Current state of affairs and the new legislative agenda
As of August 2011, both the cyber crime bill and the civil rights framework proposal have re-emerged as public topics for debate and discussion. A wave of hacker attacks on government websites in July 2011 and the fact that the civil rights framework is about to be sent to Congress reignited the controversy. Because the cyber crime bill was still considered excessive, Deputy Paulo Teixeira called for public consultation on an alternative cyber crime law. The draft consisted of a cyber crime law which was much more limited in its reach, and much more practical. Civil society campaigners and government officials are now rebuilding their legislative agenda in order to defend the joint approval of the civil rights framework and the new cyber crime bill. If both proposals are approved, the experience would stand out as a model of democratic process in which strong civil society mobilisation succeeded in defeating powerful corporate and state interests, and securing a public-interest legal framework.
Action steps
Given the context of the above discussion, the advocacy focus areas for civil society appear clear:
- Work towards the approval of the civil rights framework for the internet.
- Work towards rejecting Senator Eduardo Azeredo's cyber crime bill.
- Work towards the approval of Deputy Paulo Teixeira's alternative cyber crime bill.

More About PC Health Care
The more software you install or uninstall and the more files you add or delete, the more pertinent it becomes to perform maintenance on your system. Whether you are trying to accomplish an advanced task or you are trying to figure out why your computer is acting up, you will find the troubleshooting tips and tricks in this chapter helpful.
Just when you think you have the hang of controlling this hunk of machinery, the unexpected happens. Maybe your monitor doesn't flicker into action when you boot your machine, or perhaps your computer doesn't seem to recognize the new CD you just put into the CD drive.
Combine the savvy wisdom in this chapter with the Windows tips and tricks learned in Chapter 2, "Keeping Windows Happy," and you can save yourself a lot of grief!
Safe Storing Your Files
To protect your valuable data, it's best to make an extra copy of it. The easiest way to do so is to back up your files onto a diskette, recordable CD (or, if you're very lucky, a highly capacious recordable DVD with much more room than a CD), or a Zip drive cartridge. Then, if something happens to the original file (or worse yet, to your hard drive), you can restore the backup copy onto your hard drive.
The process of making copies of files and storing them in a collection off your main hard drive is often referred to as archiving.
Choosing Your Backup Media
With today's computers, data files are typically backed up onto diskette, CD, or Zip drive. Owners of older PCs also had the option of using Jaz drive media and tape backup units, but the limited storage capability, high price of storage media, and lack of market share made these options all but disappear in the light of affordable CD recording capabilities.
There are basically three factors that should be considered in making your decision regarding how to backup your important files: (1) what devices you have available to you (different devices can widely vary in amount of storage room they offer), (2) what type of data you want to back up, and (3) your intended use of the backup media.
Do You Have Drive?
Almost every machine has a floppy drive but they're not that useful for backups today because so many of our files are larger in size than a floppy disk can handle. Obviously, the type of backup method you use will depend on your computer's components. If you have a recordable/read writable CD drive, you need to understand how much data these types of recordable discs will hold.
Normally, a recordable CD or DVD is best when you have hordes of files to store elsewhere. A recordable CD, for example, stores about 650 megabytes (MB), while a recordable DVD stores at least 4.7 gigabytes (GB).
What You Want to Put on the Disk
If your goal is to back up word processing documents or spreadsheets, just about any of the backup media options will do. However, when it comes to graphic-intensive documents, photographs, and audio and video files, you will need to take into account the storage capacity of each type of media. Table 3.1 shows just how much material you can fit onto each type of storage media.
Table 3.1 Storage Capacity of Various Types of Media
Media |
Data capacity |
High-density diskette |
Zip disk |
100MB or 250MB |
You can fit more than 300,000 pages of text on a single CD-ROM. That's more than 400 copies of this book on one CD, excluding graphics!
With that in mind, it should come as no real surprise that in order to deal with the large files such as photographs, video files, or music files, you will need to work with CD-ROMs, DVDs or Zip disks or other large capacity media that you find at the computer store.
Music files can also get large in a hurry. A standard 3- to 4-minute song can easily reach 35MB when converted to the popular MP3 format. The larger and more numerous your file collection gets, the more important backing up your data becomes.
CD-Rs Versus CD-RWs
When you go shopping for blank CDs, you will notice that there are two kinds: CD-R (recordable) and CD-RW (read writable). The newest drives will record on either, but check your documentation because some older drives will accept only one type.
CD-Rs can only be written to once. You can always add data to the unused parts of the disk with the right software, but you can't overwrite the data recorded on the disk; once it's there, it's there for good. This makes it a fine alternative for creating music CDs and virtual photo albums but perhaps a waste for data backup, since you would probably want to overwrite your data backups periodically to reflect any changes.
CD-RWs are sort of like overgrown diskettes; you can write over them again and again (up to a point; the more you record over existing data, the faster the quality of the recording can degrade), making them good data backup candidates. However, CD-RWs can only be read by other CD-RW drives. If the plan is to make a CD to play in your car or at a friend's party, you will definitely need to go with CD-Rs.
Save money and time by buying recordable CD or CD-RW media in bulk. It usually costs substantially less if you buy recordable CDs, for example, in 100-disc spindles. The same is often true with DVDs.
What Are Your Plans for the Disk?
When deciding which type of backup media to use, make sure that the intended recipient can work with it. Also, think back to the earlier caution about the differences in blank CDs.

DigiTimes has been making the rounds of the Taiwanese OEMs, and the company claims to have the scoop on a coming wave of ARM-based netbooks, often called "smartbooks," that will wash ashore in the US in the last quarter of this year. Smartbooks based on Qualcomm's SnapDragon processor and NVIDIA's Tegra line are allegedly on deck from netbook names like ASUS, Acer, and Foxconn. Lesser-known Chinese netbook maker Compal, which was showing off products at this past CES but which doesn't yet ship to the US, is also named as an ARM netbook maker, as are Inventec and Mobinnova.
Then there's the Touch Book, from Always Innovating, which sent out a note today to everyone who contacted them via web form (including Ars) to say that the device is is now shipping. We haven't really covered the Touch Book, but boy have we been getting reader mail about it. A lot of folks want us to review it, and I've contacted the company in an effort to get a review unit. (No response so far, but I'll keep trying.) The Touch Books' main gimmick is that its screen can be detached and used as a standalone tablet, and the second gimmick is that it runs the TI OMAP 3 chip, which is looking like a killer PMP/tablet processor.
In all, it looks like by Christmas of this year, we'll have the long-awaited Intel Atom vs. ARM Cortex A8 netbook price/performance/power smackdown that the gadget press has been waiting for since 2007. There's a sizable amount of hype around the Cortex A8 parts being considerably cheaper and more power-efficient than Intel's Atom, but it's worth taking a moment to think about how the two platforms actually stack up against one another.
In terms of absolute power draw, there's no question that the sub-1W ARM A8 platforms are going to smoke Intel's Atom platform. Atom alone has a TDP of around 2W (give or take 0.5W, depending on usage), and when you factor in the other two chips that make up the current iteration of the platform, then you can tack on another zero there.
Intel's forthcoming two-chip Pine Trail will help this situation considerably, but it still relies on a separate I/O hub that will add to the power draw vs. ARM SoCs; the latter have everything from the CPU and GPU out to the USB controller on one die. So these ARM-based smartbooks will face off against Pine Trail-based netbooks, and who wins will depend on which market you're talking about.
In terms of relative performance per watt at the platform level, it's not so clear that Cortex A8 really has a considerable edge over Atom. Benchmark data is close to nonexistent, but looking at the two fairly similar CPU architectures, Atom's x86 tax may not be that severe. By the time an A8 part is clocked high enough to go toe-to-toe with Pine Trail in raw performance, it will probably also be in Intel's ballpark in absolute power draw.
It's still likely that the A8 implementations will win in performance per watt, but in any contest where Intel is in the same ballpark, the company will try to close the distance with features in price. In Atom's case, this means that it can accommodate the full range of Intel platform bells and whistles—including 64-bit processing, the full alphabet soup of Intel SIMD extensions, hyperthreading, and Active Management Technology—in a very low-power package. Depending on how you evaluate those features, they could close the relative price/performance gap.
AMT is another place where Atom has an edge, at least in the corporate market. If you outfit a fleet with Pine Trail, then you can do the kinds of remote management tricks that Intel likes to tout. If this sort of thing matters to you, then you'll be quite happy to trade 30 minutes or so of battery life for it.
In the end, I would expect smartbooks to do to netbooks what netbooks are doing to notebooks, i.e., they'll cannibalize parts of the market, but they'll also create new niches. If the ARM-based smartbooks really do deliver on all-day battery life with acceptable performance at a lower price, then Intel will be left scrambling at 32nm for whatever new niches they open up.

I'd like to thank you all for helping make this blog a global, highly visited entity in a little over a year. Why, I wonder? Well: its irreverent, absurd, environmental, spiritual, concerned with living to 150 years and beyond, a bit premonitory(I see things), into old movies, gently, subliminally political, topical, anesthetic, futuristic (I love looking ahead a few decades), rooted in the Jersey shore(geographical), based on real- life experiences (the same way Hemingway used to write. No, I never drove an ambulance during World War I), honest, reaches every age demographic after all I still do keg stands and play beer pong and am a proud card-carrying AARP guy, wrapped-up in college sports, rock concerts, meditation, nutrition. Sure, this last sentence rambled. A psychic friend thinks I was a Native-American a few hundred years ago, so there's a bit of history in the blog mix. Enough said for now. Continue to enjoy. And do reach out and let me know what you think. I'm here in Jersey, a few miles from my favorite jetty in the world. And as Mrs. Gump said, "Have a nice day."
Each week or so, to introduce a blog topic, I'll carefully rest on/near the bench, a blog-relevant, cerebral picture or one freshly plucked from my streams of consciousness. The bench also means; rest awhile, read the blog, dream and wait for the train.

The List Volume LXVIII
It's no secret that I love checking the crazy things people Google to find WhyDid. Sometimes they are just simple things like "what to wear to Soho House" or "what to wear to the airport." Other times, the topics are a bit more obscure like "hardest nipples in Hollywood" and I have to stop to ask, "You touch your mother with those fingers?" This week was no different. As per usual, cameltoe tops the list and you guys really, really love Katy Perry. Well, I'm here to do what I do best and that is give the people what they want!! Here's ten of this week's more Googled topics:
- Can I wear black to a garden wedding. I mean, you can. But do you really want to be that morbid girl wearing black at such a joyous event? Try these for guidelines instead.
- White girl weave. Not only have I worn one, I've expressed my great love for them.
- Gladstones Malibu. Love, love, love this place. And yes, yes I did go there when in LA a couple of months ago.
- Kirsten Smith Maxim. As it turns out, I might have made an appearance. If you can find it, congratulations. You've got too much time on your hands.
- How to do a top knot. I love a good top knot. Here's a step by step tutorial… but I think I'm going to have to make a video soon.
- Celebrities wearing sneakers. Everyone from Ann Hathaway to Alessandra Ambrosio was seen sporting stylish sneaks.
- Kerastase Cristalliste. There has been so much interest in this line. Stay tuned for a veeeery exciting contest…
- Girl wearing glasses. I guess people really dig girls who wear glasses. Just please don't be one of those people who wears fake ones…
- Chalking hair. Did a little tutorial on that. I might add spraying hair with hairspray to set color as well.
- Explanation why you stupid. I got nothing.
The search continues.

Leading Like a Pro
Creating a print project that pops takes more than having the best printer on the block. It also requires stellar design and text that is well thought-out and easy to read.
Have you ever wondered how those professionally designed print pieces look so incredibly clean-cut and crisp? To get that clean, easy-to-read look, professional designers make use of the big three in typography: leading, kerning, and tracking. Although all of them are important, leading can make or break a design.
What is Leading?
Simply put, the term 'leading' (pronounced LED-ing) refers to the amount of spacing between lines of text. (Fun fact: The term originated from hand-typesetting where thin strips of lead were placed into the forms to increase the distance between lines of text.) When you want to save space on a page or use up more space on a page, adjusting the leading is the way to go. Leading can also be used to change the aesthetics of your design, whether your text is the hero of your design or informational only. Mastering this design element will allow you to create balanced, well-formatted text that helps sell your product or service.
First Things First
When you type text into a word processing or graphic design program, you will generally get a pleasing result. Sometimes, though, the spacing may feel a bit "off." This can be especially true if you're using a variety of sizes, fonts, or other character adjustments. When you type the same word in a few different fonts, you will quickly see the difference between how the spacing works for individual words, both horizontally and vertically. No fonts are exactly the same, which can cause awkwardness in your design. The cure for that awkwardness is formatting.
General Formatting
Formatting can be applied at either the character level or the paragraph level. Paragraph-level formatting includes text alignment (left, right, center or justified) as well as spacing before or after paragraphs. Examples of character-level formatting include the style and choice of font, size of the characters, and the leading.
Application of Leading
While leading is considered a character-level attribute, it should generally be applied at the paragraph level to your text. This is because applying it only to a few lines of the text within a paragraph will only change the lines highlighted -- which leaves you with an uneven final product.
Changing the fixed leading in InDesign can be accomplished in a few simple steps:
- Go to 'Edit,' then 'Preferences' in previous versions of InDesign, or 'Preferences' in InDesign CC
- Choose 'Type' from the left-side of the list
- Under 'Type Options,' choose 'Apply Leading to Entire Paragraphs'
- Select 'OK'
All finished! Now, every paragraph that you begin will inherit these same options, giving you very consistent and clear paragraphs that are easily read by your audience. InDesign is a very smart program, so even if you don't set a leading value, you'll find that it defaults to auto leading -- which is 120 percent of the current font size. Realistically, that translates into a space between lines of 12 pts if you're using a 10 pt font.

'Scream' Trailer: Ghostface Is Back
Surprise, Sidney. Guess who's back?
Unfortunately for her and the rest of the residents of Woodsboro, it's old Ghostface, that masked, horror-movie-obsessed killer from four previous Scream films. Granted, in each movie, Ghostface has been a role inherited by a different (or multiple different) psychopaths. And so a decade since the last Scream, a new Ghostface emerges to terrorize Sidney (Neve Campbell) and the rest of Woodsboro all over again. Also returning for this new Scream are original cast members Courteney Cox (as reporter Gale Weathers) and David Arquette (as bumbling police officer Dewey Riley).
The previous four Scream movies were all directed by horror legend Wes Craven, but he sadly passed away in 2015. In his place, this latest film is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the filmmaking team known as Radio Silence. (Their other movies include Ready or Not and Southbound.) Here's the trailer for their new Scream:
There's also a whole new batch of images from the film as well...
New Scream Images
Here is the film's official synopsis:
Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town's deadly past. Neve Campbell ("Sidney Prescott"), Courteney Cox ("Gale Weathers") and David Arquette ("Dewey Riley") return to their iconic roles in Scream alongside Melissa Barrera, Kyle Gallner, Mason Gooding, Mikey Madison, Dylan Minnette, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Marley Shelton, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Sonia Ammar.

Please see discussion on the talk page.
Our venerable father Anthony of the Kiev Caves was one of the founders of the Monastery of the Kiev Caves. His feast day is on September 2.
Anthony was born in 983 in Liubech, near Chernigov. He was named Antipas by his parents. In his youth he possessed a fear of God and dressed in monastic attire. As he matured he set off on a journey to Mount Athos, where he took to the monastic life. He received a monastic tonsure with the name Anthony, and set his life on a course of pleasing God and living an ascetic life on the path to virtue. He became known for his humility and obedience.
In time, the igumen recognized in him a great future ascetic. Inspired by God, the igumen directed that Anthony should return to his homeland where many monks would come to him. Returning to the Russian lands, Anthony visited many monasteries near Kiev, but was not able to find the strict life that drew him to Mount Athos. In time, he came upon a cave that had been dug by the priest Hilarion (later to be Metropolitan of Kiev), near the village of Berestovo. Here he began his struggle in prayer, vigil, work, and fasting, eating only a morsel a day and sometimes not eating for week.
In his ascetic life, people began to come to him for his blessing and counsel. Some who came decided to stay with him. Anthony's renown spread throughout the land, inspiring many to the monastic life. After twelve men had gathered with Anthony, the brethren dug a bigger cave, and within it made a church and cells for the monks. As the community became larger, Anthony appointed Barlaam as abbot of the monastery and then withdrew to another place to dig a new cave where he secluded himself. Nevertheless, monks began to settle around his new cave of seclusion. Thus were formed the Near and Far Caves monasteries. Later, a small wooden church, dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos, was built over the Far Caves.
After the great Prince Izyaslav of Kiev convinced the igumen Barlaam to move to the Dimitriev monastery, the brethren, with Anthony's blessing, chose the meek and humble Theodosius, as igumen. The community of the Near and Far Caves continued to grow, reaching a population of hundred. Then, Prince Izyaslav gave the community of monks the hill where a large church and cells were built, around which a palisade was built. Thus, the renowned Monastery of the Kiev Caves came into being, the first spiritual center in the land of the Rus', raised up through the efforts of St. Anthony, without gold but on the prayers of saints and by their tears, vigil, and fasting.
Many miraculous happening have been recorded associated with St. Anthony, including the appearance of the Mother of God before Ss. Anthony and Theodosius in the Blachernae church in Constantinople, without their leaving their own monastery, at which the Mother of God foretold the death of Anthony. He died on May 7, 1073, and his relics, through divine providence, remain concealed.

Cambria Hebert
(Amnesia, #2)
Publication date: August 18th 2017
Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense
There's freedom in remembering.My past is a double-edged sword.
Damned if I remember; damned if I don't.
Recollection beyond the horrors I already have will change me. Change us.
But what if I'm living a lie? What if everything I believe is wrong?
What if who I thought I was isn't real?
If not her, then…
Who am I?
Eddie says it doesn't matter, but deep down, I'm terrified it does.
I'm trapped. Held prisoner by a past I can't remember and a future that may not belong to me.
There's a light, though not at the end of the tunnel…
It's wavering in the distance, calling to me from Rumor Island.
That light, it scares me far more than darkness. Am I brave enough to confront it?
So many questions, so few answers.
I don't have a choice; the truth always finds a way to the surface.
Finally learning who I truly am will be a permanent life sentence.
Total punishment or absolute amnesty.

Title: Gravebriar Author: Casey L. Bond Genre: YA Epic Fantasy Editor: Stacy Sanford/ The Girl with the Red Pen Proofread by: Kendra's Editing and Book Services Blurb by: The Blurb Doctor Cover Designer: Melissa Stevens/ The Illustrated Author Design Services Publication Date: March 19th, 2021 Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR
Sometimes witches hunt their own…
Someone knows my secret and they're wielding it as the weapon of my execution. I stand accused of poisoning my Gravebriar coven mate. To my fatal regret, I can't prove my innocence without revealing the truth I've long kept hidden: while every other Gravebriar witch are green witches and healers, my magic lies in poisons.
There is one witch who believes me – the same boy who was sent to kill me with instructions to pluck the briars that sprouted from my grave – the only cure for a Gravebriar witch. Forge Silverthorn will be my undoing… or my salvation.
He claims there is a malicious plot vining through the witch town of Cauldron that threatens to tighten around my throat in a deadly noose. Promising I can escape by seeking the help of a banished witch who hides our kind in plain sight, he leads me to a dark circus full of witches.
The ringmaster will only help us if we agree to join his circus of uncanny tricks and diabolical feats for two nights only, using our magic to thrill his patrons. In exchange for our participation under the big top, he'll divulge the information I need to save my coven mate and clear my name.
But when dark secrets emerge from the shadows of this promised sanctuary, I'm forced to decide if I can truly trust anyone, especially Forge… my would-be executioner, my coven's sworn enemy, and my could-be love.
Casey Bond lives in West Virginia with her husband and their two beautiful daughters. She likes goats and yoga, but hasn't tried goat yoga because the family goat is so big he might break her back.

Stax Records®/Supreme
Stax Records is an American record label, originally based in Memphis, Tennessee.
Stax Records is synonymous with Southern soul music. Originally known as Satellite, the Memphis company was founded in 1959 by Jim Stewart and his sister, Estelle Axton. Among the many artists who scored hits on Stax and its Volt subsidiary during the Sixties were Rufus and Carla Thomas, Booker T. & the MGs, Sam and Dave, Johnnie Taylor, Albert King, and Otis Redding. Redding's death in 1967 signaled the end of the first Stax era. Subsequently the company spawned a new crop of hit-makers, among them Isaac Hayes, the Staple Singers, and the Dramatics.
Supreme has teamed up with Stax Records® for a group of three original T-Shirts featuring Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes and the classic Stax Records® logo. This group will be offered along with two other T-Shirts for the Fall delivery.

Don't read further until you have read Top Ten Stupid Six Sigma Tricks #3!
Question 1
This is a depressingly common error that can corrupt the results even before any data are gathered. Measurement level describes the relationship between what you are really interested in learning about (the dependent variable) and the measurement you actually are taking (the criterion measure). This relationship is described by the terms Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio, and Absolute. The difficulty comes because knowing what the data are (say temperature measurements, times, or lengths) does not imply the measurement level.
For example, if we are measuring the diameter of a disk, some might say, "Oh, that is continuous data, so I can use a t-test!" However, the statistics are based on the relationship back to the dependent variable, not the nature of the measurement itself. If you are interested in knowing about the diameter or circumference (2πR), then it is a ratio relationship, if you are interested in area (πR2), it is only ordinal, if you are measuring the deviation from target diameter, it is interval, and if you are using the diameter to define the type of part, it is nominal.
This would be pretty academic, except that all those lovely statistical tests you learned are only valid for certain levels of measurement, and again you can make the wrong conclusion. If you were interested in comparing the disk areas of two groups using the diameter as the criterion measure and you assumed that it was ratio data, you might set up your sample size and select the test based on doing a t-test. The problem is that increasing the diameter by 1mm going from 5 to 6mm increases the area by 8.64mm2, but increasing the diameter by 1mm going from 6 to 7mm increases the area by 10.21 mm2. That is why it is an ordinal relationship - the same increase in the criterion measure (diameter) gives you differing amounts of increase in the dependent variable (area) in which you are really interested.
So you can't use a t-test on these data, since a t-test assumes ratio or interval level data, and can incorrectly indicate or miss an effect. Note that the probability of making these errors are totally different from alpha and beta error (discussed some in the next question). Alpha and beta only apply to sampling error - here we have an error in the test selection. The preferred solution would be to calculate the area and do a t-test on that if our assumption about the relationship between area and spin friction is true - it is probably even better to test the before and after on the spin friction test so as not to even make this assumption if that is an economical choice. Otherwise you are stuck with less powerful ordinal tests like the Sign Test for Location.
Question 2 and 3
See the thing is that statistical tests are based on a pretty conservative assumption, and that is that we will stick with the status quo until we get sufficient data to convince us otherwise. The status quo (usually called the "null hypothesis" because statisticians only speak Greek not Latin) always involves the state of "no change" or "no effect." You get to choose the alpha error (the probability of incorrectly concluding there has been a change due to sampling error when there really has not). Common probabilities are 0.01, 0.05, and 0.10. I default to 0.05, though if the cost of making the change is high compared to the benefit, I will go to 0.01, and if the cost of missing an opportunity is high compared to the cost of the change, I might go up to 0.10. Alpha is just the number you compare the p-value of your test statistic to in order to determine if there is evidence of a change. Most people "get" alpha.
As I said, we are going to stick with the status quo unless proven otherwise. But it is possible that there is a change of a magnitude that I am concerned about, but I just haven't collected enough data to see that yet. This means that I can also make a beta error, one where I say that there is no change or effect, when in fact there is. While you get to choose alpha, you have to "buy" a lower probability of making a beta error with your design choice, a larger effect, or with larger sample sizes.
That is what these two guys missed. So while they correctly accepted the null hypothesis ("There is not sufficient reason to say the process change had an effect") this is not the same as saying, "There has been no effect of a magnitude that could drive us out of business."
In determining the sample size for means, you can choose any three of these four: alpha, beta, sample size, and the size of the effect you need to detect. You are probably stuck with the last input, which is the standard deviation, although you might be able to reduce this sometimes. In defense of the two guys at lunch, they probably took ten samples because that is what their boss told them they could take. But, the chance of them making a beta error (missing the fact that there was a shift of the minimum amount they needed to detect if it was in fact there) was over 90%! You would have been better off saving the expense of the experiment and asking the Magic Eight Ball - at least that way you had a 50% chance of making the correct decision.
Yet I have seen this time and time again: people spending a lot of money to run a test that has less than a 50% chance of detecting what it is they wanted to detect in the first place. I have even run into situations where people are wasting money running too many samples. Maybe they only needed three but, "Huh-yuck! I got ten toes!"
Or, in the case of this problem, 29 toes, since 29 is the correct answer. It is a one-sample test (since we are testing against a historical average) and we should use the t-distribution to get the sample size since we have no assurance that the new process will have a known standard deviation. We also need to use a two-tailed test since the difference can go in either direction.
Question 4
So if we are stuck testing for normality, it makes sense to test it well. As with all other statistical tests, we would like the ability to test data and determine if we can conclude that those data could have reasonably come from a normal distribution, or if it could not have, that we would have a reasonable chance of detecting that.
Which brings me to my favorite brand of vodka, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Goodness-of-Fit test.
Most Six Sigma stat software I have seen defaults to this to test for normality (some I have seen also use the Shapiro-Wilk). The problem is that the K-S test is one of the weakest tests for this purpose. Not as bad as the chi-squared perhaps, but still pretty bad in that it tends to not reject the assumption of normality when it really should. Which as we saw above, means that you can make wrong decisions leading to annoyingly frequent exit interviews.
What I recommend is jointly using the Anderson-Darling, Shapiro-Wilk, and Lin-Mudholkar statistics, and the Skewness and Kurtosis indices, along with their associated tests. Each of these tests has the power to detect certain departures from normality in certain circumstances - by reviewing the results from these tests you can make a good decision about the appropriateness of using the normal distribution.
Remember too that even if you decide that the normal distribution is a good fit, you still need to check the process for control and reasonableness before you can go on to the next step. If a process is not in a reasonable state of control, it doesn't matter if the data are fit by the normal distribution or not - you cannot make any statistical inferences since anything can happen and the past is no predictor of the future. In this case you need to figure out what is going on with that first. As far as reasonableness, there was once a guy in procurement who complained to the vendor that too many of the batteries were out of specification, including the ones that were predicted to have negative voltage, based on the natural tolerance of the normal distribution. Obviously, even though the voltage distribution passed the normality tests, it could not be right if it was predicting negative voltages. Either that or maybe cold fusion or something was happening and we missed out on a source of infinite energy!

Artur Mas has been on an official visit to France. He celebrated that Spain has permitted Catalonia its own sub-representation at UNESCO in Paris. He also took the opportunity to suggest that the concession for Rodalies commuter trains in Barcelona might be sold to SNCF when Renfe's license expires in 2015.
Similar noises were made a while back when it was suggested that France be the defender of Catalan independence and territory, rather than Spain or Catalonia itself. A proposed meeting with the French minister of defence was cancelled – allegedly after pressure from Spain.
So it's privatisation of public infrastructure, but done in a clever way that in theory could help get the French on-side when it comes to independence (and thus make us forget that we're talking about basic state services). Going further down that road could be risky: an independent state with no infrastructure to call its own isn't much of a state.
[I'd like to add that I raised the France question a while back on this blog, and had a lot of comments from Catalans who thought France's position was utterly irrelevant. Rather short-sighted of them, in my opinion. I assume they'll be writing to Vilaweb to complain, now that the pro-independence website has published an editorial entitled 'France is key for Catalonia's diplomatic recognition'.]
