What change?
oh he was born in Canada.
Canada didn't have an accent then, what change ?
Telstra what is this I don't even .
Attachment 1014607
Father Coughlin didn't have an accent. Why didn't he have an accent ?
someone is obsessed with America...telly give it a rest. Why not post about oz? You exceed your own standards of obsession.....tiresome mate. truly.
I don't care a jot about his accent, but watching him talk was like watching a bobble-headed doll.
^You must be mental
What are you talking about? He has an Irish accent.
You've based this on video of one man? I'm Canadian, and I can assure you that there were various Canadian dialects and accents even back in the 1800s, and there were even more in the United States. Our first prime minister had a very heavy Scottish accent. Several have had French and English accents. You should do a bit of homework before making such claims. You might actually learn something instead of making yourself out to be a fool.
The accent then was different compared to now.
Roosevelt didn't sound like American today at all.
Go back to interweb surfing while sitting or squatting at the toilet.
Did Aussies have pet Kangaroo's in the 1930's?
Telly...did you go out yesterday without your football helmet and make bumpsies on your head..?
I'm baffled that you watched the video and the only thing you fixed on was the accent?
My god Australian's had no accent in the late 40s!!! WHAT!
He definitely has an accent -- sounds like an Irishman from the northern Atlantic coast of North America.
Canadians are different all across the board…people from the Bruce Peninsula, about 100 miles from me, have a distinct dialect.
A 1930's Transatlantic accent. Katherine Hepburn's is strong.
In the case of Roosevelt and Hepburn, I think its more just a legacy of an older education system that placed importance on having Received Pronunciation which all but stopped after World War Two in the states. Even in the UK, older RP sounds very different to younger people who have been educated in the same schools because pronunciation is not really taught in the same way as both. Instead people are actually allowed to have their local accents. The video I posted above from Australia really brings that home, where most of the adults have horrible posh English accents.
Telstra for goodness sake read people's replies. It's already been discussed as to why the accents have an "English" gentrified slant. Both JohnnyAnger and Dejavudoo have answered you, yet your ignoring them and continuing to ask why like a toddler.
I think there is one thing you are ignoring and that is the screen directors of the time. Hollywood, not the educational system promoted these types accents for uniformity's sake. UK comparisons are irrelevant since it's a screen dictate from Fox and other studios in USA. Screen Gems also with obvious exception of the three stooges. But even there it crept in....
^Ah great point...the influence may have been coming from what was there before Hollywood existed. Perhaps Emily Post??? This is pretty Arcane stuff though in early Hollywood there were several disparate influences and one cannot say they were all rooted in traditional elocution.
^Dunno not too well versed in that stuff but I'm sure Belamo can give us some insight.....ROFL
It was fashionable mid century for Americans to have a Mid-Atlantic English accent.
^Actually it comes off as uppity to me and a bit smarmy as well. But it isn't an English accent at least according to me. faux-sophistry perhaps?? NPR is corrupt as hell though and truth be known is a low grade criminal organization.
If there are no radio, TV, movies, sound recordings, phones ... etc,
there would be so many different types of English and we wouldn't be able to understand each other ... :lol:
His speech sounds like Hitler to me (the way he shout and moving his head):
You pierced your nose?
You can't smell as well with a septum or wotever it is
I was born in Brooklyn New York. Although I do not have one of those strong NYC accents I assure you each part of the states has one. A linguist at college told me the place with the least accent was on the Border with Canada near Toronto. I just know in New York people still say things like Jogeat no Juu (Joe did you eat no did you) Or turdy terd and terd (33rd and 3rd). While mine is not as heavy I live in London now here 12 years and people say New York right? Grin
Things have shifted somewhat, but twenty years ago Pacific Northwest English/diction was considered "neutral" and was actually preferred for broadcasters on the national level. It's still considered the most understandable to speakers of other versions of English.
but America did have Lady Day
On a serious note, if North American accents are of interest to you:

I'm a sucker for prizelists and think Sebastian Barry's A Long Long Way should be given free to every household!Sorry but The Sea just had me snoring but then I have a complete crisis and think "oh my god I've missed something really important".
I feel sure your shelves will be heaving with just the right blend of everything and why not sneak in some literary criticism alongside the fiction. Continuum Contemporaries series are reasonably priced and brilliant to read in tandem with a novel and help you get a bit more out of the book.Plenty of people want that now but don't necessarily want to go to a reading group to get it.
By the way, where on earth did you read the Booker piece? Transita website? I do a monthly column there

Ukrainain Orthodoxy on the eve of Pan-Orthodox Council. Part III
The history evidences: the Local Churches that were historically associated with earthly empires were uninterested in the canonical establishment of local churches under their jurisdictions, and therefore usually granted autocephaly to churches only under the pressure of historic circumstances. No exception is the Moscow Patriarchate, which has incorporated the Orthodox Church in Ukraine since 1686.

Ukrainian Orthodoxy: path to recovery of Church unity. Part II
Ukrainian Orthodoxy and Ukrainian society suffer from division. The majority of Ukrainian Orthodox believers belong to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate. The rest of the Orthodox community of Ukraine has chosen a different path of self-proclaimed autocephaly. However, neither the first nor the second path is optimal for the Orthodox Church in Ukraine to date.

Why do you guys use them, and how are you making them?
because there idots and they care more about style than function, except meg, she uses cloth tied between the spokes, wich doesnt have anywhere near as much drag and all the style.
They are used to protect your spokes from mallet strikes, to deflect balls better, as a display surface for your creativity, and to a lesser extent to dribble behind without the player on your non-mallet side being able to see the ball. If everyone on a team used same-colored ones, it'd be easier to find your team mates with your head down.
The best material is cloroplast. A brand name for corrugated plastic. It's what most large yard and fence political signs are printed on, so there is plenty available for free this year.
From mallets or all types of damage. I don't get many mallets in the spokes, but in a pile up I'll get in bike to bike impacts it'll get knocked wonky. My rear wheel is in need of some attention after playing last night.
Uh, yeah, it's been on my site since the get go. http://www.hardcourtbikepolo.com/?page_id=56 right next to how to build a mallet. good way to get me to participate in this forum thingy Kev

So that we can make Ben H. look like a style-less, saucony wearing moron.
their primary use is to strenghten your forearms whilst driving over bridges on windy days
Everybody seems to mention mallets in spokes, but nobody has mentioned yet that a nice hard slap shot can bend and break spokes as well. My front wheel has no disk, but it also has hardly any spoke tension left. Once I stop being lazy and tension it, I have some coroplast cut and ready to go on.
slapdick bike polo - washington dc
my bike fixes itself between polo matches, so i dont see the benifit of the disk
if your wheel is fucked and missing spokes then and only then can you bescored on threw the wheel. but ive never lost a game to it.
My wheel has all 32 spokes, but if you take a hard enough shot at the proper angle, you can get lucky and have the ball make it through.
But my wheel isn't 3 cross...
slapdick bike polo - washington dc
I dont think ive noticed any wind push during games... only on the way to polo does the wind mess with me a bit, and since i put a disk on i haven't broken any spokes which is a for sure positive.
no dice nyc...MKE!
peeps who play with two disc wheels: that's gotta be a bitch if even the slightest breeze kicks up.
i use my polo bike to get to school aswell as polo so i only have a disc in the rear to hard to steer otherwise.
I've put many a ball through spokes, scored a few. Even through 36spoked wheels. I've broken spokes with a ball and had spokes broken, mostly snapped nipples.
I've used a disc a few times on the front and never really suffered any damage despite blocking hard shots with it. I'm gonna go for a disc front and back, that way my forearms will be MASSIVE from driving over the bridges on a windy day... Then I'll vomit on them so they're not so pretty and fashionable.
London, UK.
do you all use the heavy white horse polo balls in London? i played with one of them yesterday in paris, it seems like they would take out a lot of spokes, especially off a slapshot.
i almost prefer when people take the disc thing less serious, and instead of coroplast or fancy plastic, they just use a pizza box or DHL envelope.
now that's class
nice. Has anyone thought of whether cutting holes in the discs would lessen the wind problem? Or would this damage the structural integrity such that they would be more of a hindrance than a help? Obviously you'd cut them to be smaller than a ball or mallet head, but if you put a good few in all the way around, like many of us do for mallets, it might help.
If you try puttin' holes in a corplast disc it'll prolly whistle and sound like a spaceship!
I'm trying to figure out how to do that exact thing for my mallet! I figure that if you cut holes on the sides the right shape they will whistle on hard shots - screaming mallets! but I haven't had any luck yet. Maybe I'll just install a cap gun inside so it bangs really loud ly instead...
You, my friend, are ready for Los Marcos.
Chicago Bike Polo 2003-2008
St Louis Bike Polo 2008-now
I just played with a disc wheel (front and back) for the first time at the NSPI and I have no doubt that my spokes would have been destroyed by the end of that tourney without them.
If you'd stop putting your wheels in front of peoples shots you wouldn't have that problem.

What does microcredit mean?
Definitions for microcredit
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word microcredit.
The practice of making very small loans, especially to poor people to promote self-employment; microlending.
A microloan.
Microcredit is the extension of very small loans to impoverished borrowers who typically lack collateral, steady employment and a verifiable credit history. It is designed not only to support entrepreneurship and alleviate poverty, but also in many cases to empower women and uplift entire communities by extension. In many communities, women lack the highly stable employment histories that traditional lenders tend to require. Many are illiterate, and therefore unable to complete paperwork required to get conventional loans. As of 2009 an estimated 74 million men and women held microloans that totalled US$38 billion. Grameen Bank reports that repayment success rates are between 95 and 98 per cent. Microcredit is part of microfinance, which provides a wider range of financial services, especially savings accounts, to the poor. Modern microcredit is generally considered to have originated with the Grameen Bank founded in Bangladesh in 1983. Many traditional banks subsequently introduced microcredit despite initial misgivings. The United Nations declared 2005 the International Year of Microcredit. As of 2012, microcredit is widely used in developing countries and is presented as having "enormous potential as a tool for poverty alleviation."

United Nations, Dec.13 (ANI): India should give consular access to Ajmal Amir Kasab, the surviving terrorist involved in the Mumbai attacks if he is a Pakistani national, Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations has said.
The Daily Times quoted Ambassador Abdullah Hussain Haroon as telling a private television channel that if it was determined that Kasab was a Pakistani national, then the first step would be to give consular access to 'this person who claims to be a Pakistani'.
Haroon, who has been at the forefront of Pakistan's defence at the United Nations in the wake of the Mumbai attacks, had said two days ago that the UN Security Council committee had failed to contact Islamabad before going ahead with the imposition of sanctions on three Pakistani citizens, labelled as terrorists and organizations allegedly linked to militant activities.
He told GEO News that UN's committee had reviewed many names even before he assumed ambassadorship.
Pakistan, he, however, said, would abide by committee's decisions, but under protest.he United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has banned the political wing of the banned militant organization Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the Jamaat-ud-Dawa.
The Security Council has also declared it a terrorist organization.
A committee of the UN Security Council placed financial sanctions on four members of the LeT, as well as the charitable organization that Indian and U.S. officials say serves as the Lashkar''s financial front, according to the U.N.
The four members are Hafiz Saeed, the leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba; Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, its chief of operations; and two finance officials, Haji Mohammad Ashraf and Mahmoud Ahmed Bahaziq.
The US Treasury Department had imposed sanctions against the same four persons in May. The UN sanctions include the mandatory freezing of assets and travel bans.
A tough-talking India had urged the UN Security Council to declare the Jamaat-ud-Dawa a terrorist outfit.
During the course of a debate at the Security Council on terrorism, India''s Minister of State for External Affairs E. Ahamed asserted without naming Pakistan that the country, from where the terrorist attack originated and was planned, should take immediate steps to stop their operations.
India and the US have said that the Lashkar-e-Toiba and its leaders are involved in the Mumbai terrorist attacks. (ANI)

PSO (Process Standard Offset) Certification according to the UGRA system
The Norwegian Colour and Visual Computing Laboratory provides the service of certifying the Norwegian printing industry according to the UGRA system of PSO Certification in collaboration with UGRA.
PSO (Process Standard Offset)
The Process Standard Offset (PSO) is the method or standardized procedure for creation of print products. Implementation of PSO assures good quality print production from data creation to the final print production. In PSO, testing devices and control methods are described with which the production process can be controlled.
PSO (process standard offset) certification is not a new standard. It describes the input to output workflow which includes a number of ISO standards describing this workflow. In short, ISO defines the aims while PSO defines the methods to achieve those aims. The ISO standards, which the PSO covers, are:
- Organization & Documentation ISO 9000
- Data reception & data creation ISO 15930
- Display/Soft proofing ISO 12646
- Proofing ISO 12647 – 7
- Standard Illumination ISO 3664
- Plate making (Quality Management System ISO 9000)
- Print production ISO 12647 – 2
These functions are audited by the Color Lab in collaboration with UGRA. The certification audit is carried out in a day. Most of the measurements are made during the audit at the audited company. Only the prints are measured at the Color Lab in the week after the audit.
If the company receives the certification it is listed on the Color Lab website as a certified company. The certificate is valid for 2 years.
For more details please write us on e-mail: email@example.com or contact on telephone 0047 6113 5198. PSO brochure as PDF (in norwegian)
For list of current PSO certified companies please click here.
AGI (Norsk Grafisk Tidsskrift) has published 5 articles, written by Sven Erik Skarsbø (email@example.com) considering PSO.
agi 463 September 2008 (Dansk Grafisk Tidsskrift)
These articles are published with permission of the editor, AGI Norsk Grafisk Tidsskrift.
Data reception & creation ISO 15930
For data entry employees of the company should know how the data is to be acquired, which data is to be processed in which way and what action is to be taken in case of faulty data or data with an error. For data creation, employees should show skills and knowledge in color management, layout production and PDF creation (ISO 15930).
Display/Soft proofing ISO 12646
The soft proof display must be setup in a favorable environment. The environment luminance must be adapted and the display must be calibrated. As bases serve ISO 3664 & ISO 12646.
Proof Production ISO 12647 – 7
The proof has to be accomplished according to the guidelines of ISO 12647 – 7. At proofing the "Visual Print Reference" is outputted. The colors are measured at the media Wedge. The measurements should lie within the ISO 12647 – 7 tolerances.
Standard Illumination ISO 3664
The illumination for color assessment for proofs & prints must meet the values of ISO 3664.
Plate making (Quality Management System ISO 9000)
No ISO standards specify any nominal values for the plate exposure. Therefore, plate making procedure documentation is checked. The PDF/X ready output test form is outputted to test the RIP adjustments.
Print production ISO 12647 – 2
In printing it is to be proven tat it is working according to the modern methods and the color values are reached according to ISO 12647 – 2. The measuring devices used are checked for maintenance. The print is compared visually to proof. The documentation & organization is checked in accordance with ISO 9000.

Track List
Album Notes
Recording information: Makeshift Studio, Tulum; Uno.
Since signing to Kompakt in 2012, Canadian DJ/producer duo Blond:ish have been releasing an intriguing stream of sunny, slightly introspective 12"s that often feature live instruments in addition to shuffling tech-house beats. The pair's full-length debut, Welcome to the Present, finds them diving headfirst into their spiritually minded side, beginning with several trippy downtempo cuts that echo the Orb at their most psychedelic. The album is abound with mysterious voices and field recordings sourced from the duo's retreats to places like the Mayan temples of Mexico. Two tracks from the duo's 2012 EP Lovers in Limbo are reworked, but this time out the beats are de-emphasized in favor of sly guitar lines and hypnotic atmospheres. Even the tracks with steady 4/4 rhythms are filled with exotic string and percussion instruments rather than ecstatic synth melodies, as well as the sounds of rushing water and chirping crickets. This strange album of shamanic hippie-techno exotica fittingly ends with the reflective "It Starts Now," which is built on an extended sample of philosopher Alan Watts. ~ Paul Simpson

Such a vivid painterly feel to this Mieke, can't wait to see it "in the flesh" :))
What an amazing sky Mieke, looks like a wade away from the shore for this one, tide out a long way?
Vivid is the word I'd use. And rich with color. It's interesting how the sky graduates from deep royal blue to pale on the horizon.
Another cracker Mieke! I love the tonal range in this (almost HDR)…. so much drama!
Is this with the new lens? It's an awesome capture Mieke. What a difference some cloud in the sky makes to an image. Fave.
No, I admit I haven't had a chance to try out the new lens yet!! I did take it out one night, but our skies are so big here that you really have to use a wide angle lens to get it all in!!!
Yes – clouds are good unless it's raining :) :) :)

Design software for masonry allows rapid design and detailing, saving time and also providing more economical buildings. Masonry structural elements can now be optimized, resulting in a more refined and, hence, less costly solution.
Traditionally, these structural design programs have focused on component design—the independent analysis of a single structural element, such as a wall, beam, pilaster, or lintel. Although masonry still lacks a completely integrated structural design program, such as those available for steel and concrete, some programs go beyond single components, allowing the analysis and design of an entire structure.
An example of this systems-design approach is the National Concrete Masonry Association's program Design of Commercial Masonry Buildings, which is used to design concrete masonry warehouse-type structures. Other comprehensive structural packages integrate with CAD systems to further streamline the design process.
Looking forward, design software is moving toward data integration among packages developed by each design discipline. The ultimate goal of this effort is to allow communication and data sharing among the diverse software used for project architecture, engineering, estimating, scheduling, and even interior design. Providing this compatibility among the various software packages will significantly reduce design and development time. In addition, inconsistencies, conflicting component locations, and errors in information transfer will be reduced or eliminated, as will the time spent cross-checking results from different programs.
Some software developers are forging direct links. For example, ArchiCAD now includes links to the WinEst estimating program to provide a seamless transition from design drawings to cost estimates.
Building visualization software is also developing rapidly. CAD and visualization programs are now used to display a three-dimensional image of the building, viewable from any angle, at any hour of the day—with appropriate sunlight and shadows. Interior and exterior materials, including different colors and textures, can be quickly applied and revised, providing an amazingly accurate likeness of the building, long before ground is broken.
The article provides brief overviews of various masonry design software packages, appropriate building codes and retail prices.
Component-design programs for masonry:
- Masonry
- Masonry LSD 95
- Masonry Wall Design
Comprehensive design software:
Design of Commercial Masonry Buildings
Visualization software allows the owner and designer to see the completed building, down to the masonry bond pattern.
- Masonry Designer
- ArchiCAD
- SoftPlan
- 3-D Studio Viz
Masonry retaining walls are either constructed of traditional mortared masonry or are dry-stacked. Design software is available for mortared concrete masonry cantilevered retaining walls and for segmental retaining walls (SRWs).
Product-specific SRW design software is available from Allan Block:
- Anchor Wall
- Pacific Precast Products (Omega)
- Risi Stone (RISIWALL 4.0)
- Tensar Earth Technologies (MesaPro)
Software for designing mortared CMU cantilevered retaining walls includes:
QuikWall (Eagle Point Software)
- RetainWall (Daystar)
Pavior Plus
- SpectraPave
Includes a section on masonry design codes you should be aware of when you purchase software.

text: Anxieties Revealed In New Networking Site For Gays In MilitaryAnna North1/03/11 5:23pmFiled to: Asking and tellingOut militaryGay military social networkGays in the MilitarylgbtMilitaryAppic37EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkNow that the Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal is in motion, a new social networking site for gay servicemembers has come online. But it may still not be safe to post on it.AdvertisementAccording to Reuters, creator John McKinnon started Out Military to help gay and lesbian members of the armed forces meet friends and gain a supportive network. However, he says users shouldn't post too much revealing personal information — since the DADT repeal has yet to be fully implemented, they could face repercussions. So far, just over fifty people have joined the site. And one of its main discussion topics on the site is, "When and how do I come out?" Many posters are wary.Says one, "i do know that there are no provisions for compensation for those kicked out. We'll know more in a couple mos. IMHO. Remember, the assholes of the relgiious right never never never give up." Another adds,AdvertisementI would wait to come out until DADT is completely gone...will take a few years. But be aware when you come out you will be messed with severely. The Chain of Comand will not be abe to protect you no matter what they say. If you care about your health... Stay in the closet...to be safe. Remember the Republicans are in charge now.However, another poster says, "The real irony is that being gay would get you minimal harassment in the units I was in as long as you were not in your face about it (and if you were not stupidly in your face about it those harassing you would get a blanket party for being an asshole) , while being atheist was a quick way to getting fucked over" (according to Wikipedia, a blanket party is a form of hazing wherein "the victim is restrained by having a blanket flung over him and held down at the corners while he sleeps, then the remaining members of the group strike him repeatedly with improvised "flails" (a sock or bath towel containing something solid, most commonly a bar of soap)." And, adds one optimist, "I don't think it will be too hard to come out... most of us are already out."Other discussion threads on Out Military tackle trans issues, bi-curiosity, and how to come out to a partner — the small size of the site means the forums aren't very active thus far, but over time they could grow into a space for LGBT servicemembers to discuss all manner of personal and professional topics. For now, the site is a good reminder that Obama signing the Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal is only the beginning of true acceptance for LGBT members of the military, and that these men and women still have a lot of concerns about their own safety as they serve our country.SponsoredOut Military [Official Site] Website Aims To Be Facebook For Gays In Military [Reuters, via Newser]Reply37 repliesLeave a reply

Roasted Potato Leek Soup
Although there's heavy cream in it, this is not a thick, creamy, white soup like most potato soups. It's also on the salty side, probably because of the amount of chicken base used.
12 ounces (3 sticks) butter, divided
Make the sachet: In a 4-by4-inch piece of cheesecloth, bundle the sachet ingredients and tie with 6 inches of butchers' string.
Saute fresh chopped leeks, minced garlic and thyme with four ounces of butter. Add chicken stock, sachet and potatoes. Reduce to three-quarters or until potatoes are cooked. The soup will become slightly thickened from the natural starch of the potatoes.
Add heavy cream, the remaining butter, chopped parsley and season accordingly with Worcestershire sauce, chicken base, salt and pepper. Remove sachet and discard.
Garnish top of soup with thinly sliced scallions.

On Inter- and Intra-Individual Redistribution of the Welfare State†
- †
*Direct correspondence to Andreas Bergh 〈email@example.com〉. The author will share all data and coding information with those wishing to replicate the study. Financial support for this research has been provided by Jan Wallander's and Tom Hedelius' Foundation and by the National Social Insurance Board in Sweden.
Objective. The redistributive effect of the welfare state is traditionally measured by comparing the gross and net distribution of annual income among adults. This standard approach does not account for the fact that a large share of the taxes paid by adults are paid back to the very same individuals later in life. The objective of this article is to examine the factors that determine the difference between redistribution according to the standard approach and redistribution of lifetime incomes. I also discuss under what circumstances intra-individual redistribution is beneficial for low-income earners.
Methods. A formal model of a simple welfare state in a society with low- and high-income earners is used to describe inequality of gross and net income among adults and for complete lifetime incomes. The model is calibrated with data describing the Swedish welfare state.
Results. Theoretically, the redistribution of lifetime income can be bigger or smaller than the redistribution indicated by the standard approach. Swedish data suggest that most welfare states are more redistributive when a lifetime perspective is used compared to the standard approach.
Conclusions. Most of the redistribution carried out by modern welfare states is so-called intra-individual redistribution. Compared to the situation that would arise without the welfare state, intra-individual redistribution is likely to be favorable for low-income earners because it compensates for inequalities in the distribution of assets and access to capital markets.

Is Encryption Effective Against Snooping? German Government Says No, Snowden Says YesBy Glyn MoodyTechdirt Jun. 18, 2013 |

CNN's Stelter Attacks Fox News For Covering Story Of Illegal Immigrants Raping Girl At School
The revelations of Edward Snowden about the NSA's snooping of citizens both inside and outside the US are posing more questions than they answer at the moment. One key area is whether the use of encryption -- for example for email -- is effective against the techniques and raw power available to the NSA (and equivalents in other countries). That's something that has come up before in the context of the UK's Snooper's Charter. When a top official there was asked whether the proposed surveillance technology would be able to cope with encrypted streams, he replied: "it will." Snowden's claims about massive, global spying makes the issue even more pertinent. Here's one view, from Germany. Politicians from the Die Linke party posed a number of questions to their government on the subject of the latter's use of surveillance techniques (original PDF in German). Most of the answers were the kind of thing you might expect -- "we can't possibly go into details" etc. etc. -- but one was surprising. To the question: Is the technology used also capable of decrypting at least partially, or evaluating, encrypted communications (eg via SSH or PGP)?Back came the answer: Yes, the technology used is generally able to do that, depending on the type and quality of the encryption.But Edward Snowden doesn't agree. When he was asked in an online Q&A session on the Guardian Web site the following question: Is encrypting my email any good at defeating the NSA survelielance? Id my data protected by standard encryption?He replied: Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on. Unfortunately, endpoint security is so terrifically weak that NSA can frequently find ways around it.In discussions about the German government's claim that it can crack encryption in certain circumstances, some suggested that maybe it could -- not directly, but using the malware that Techdirt has written about before. So even if the question as to the efficacy of encryption itself is still rather up in the air, there seems to be a consensus that the real weakness lies in letting people gain access to your system. |

Here is a question from last year's exam in the course "Basic Ideas of Mathematics":
You buy a toaster for 200 NIS ($50) and you are offered one year of insurance for 24 NIS ($6).
a) Is it worth it if the probability that damage covered by the insurance will occur during the first year is 10%? (We assume that without insurance, such damage makes the toaster a "total loss".)
b) Is it worth it if the probability that the toaster will be damaged is unknown?
As an additional test of your imagination, can you think of reasons why buying the toaster insurance would be rational?

List of science fiction theme
5,144pages on
this wiki
Add New Page
this wiki
The following is a list of science fiction themes.
Overarching themes
- Science fiction is used to raise awareness of ecological ideas. Lends itself well to dystopian futures. Frank Herbert and Kim Stanley Robinson are known for their serious concern with ecological issues.
- Economics
- "Age of Greater Scarcity", often in connection with ecological or post-apocalyptic themes. In such dystopias, people are poorer and have fewer resources to draw on.
- Post-"Age of Scarcity" (arguments over how to distribute resources are irrelevant since anyone can have anything they reasonably want). Examples include:
- History
- Alternate history
- Historical cycles: history repeating itself (either on long or short scales)
- Scientific prediction of the future (e.g. psychohistory)
- Secret history
- Language
- Alien languages (e.g. Klingon)
- All humans speaking one language (possibly Esperanto)
- Current human languages evolving/splitting
- The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis being strongly true (e.g. Babel 17 by Samuel R. Delany or The Languages of Pao by Jack Vance)
- Universal Translators (e.g. Babel fish)
- Military - strategy, weapons, ranks, technologies.
- Parallel worlds or universes.
- There is a space based civilization variant of this theme. This plot device allows writers to write soft science fiction while accounting for the lack of technological advancement and thus similarity to the present day.
- Religious ideas in science fiction
- Sex (including gender roles, polygamy, sexuality and procreation)
- Sociology and sociobiology
- Astrosociology
- return to feudalism
- hive-like eusocial societies
- future caste systems
Types of beings

- Beings of pure mentality
- Hive minds
- Infomorphs - memories, characters and consciences of persons being uploaded to a computer or storage media
- Noosphere - the "sphere of human thought"
- Solipsism - a belief that the universe is entirely the creation of one's own mind
- Androids and Gynoids
- Characters

- The Detective
- The God-Like Alien

- First contact
- Principles of non-interference (e.g. Prime Directive)
- Living Planets
- Mutants
- Shapeshifters
- Superhumans
- Uplifted animals - using technology to "raise" non-human animals to human evolutionary levels
Body and mind alterations
- Bio-implants
- Body modification, including genetic modification
- Bionics
- Cybernetics
- Intelligence amplification
- Invisibility
- Life extension and immortality
- Artificial organs
- Cloning
- Cryonics
- The Organ Bank Problem - a proposed problem in which the reduced death rate caused by organ transplants would lead to a shortage of organs available for transplant
- Mind interfacing
- Memory removal/editing
- Mind control
- Mind uploading
- Neural implants to directly interface with machinery
- Nanotechnology & Molecular manufacturing
- Psi powers and psychic phenomenon
- Paradise engineering
- Resizing (size-changing, miniaturization, magnification, shrinking, and enlargement)

We're No Angels
1989, Comedy
Ned (Robert De Niro) and Jim (Sean Penn) are convicts who get their shot at freedom when they unexpectedly escape from prison along with a killer. The two fugitives head north towards the Canadian border, but before they can cross over, they get mistaken for priests and decide to go along with the ruse. Taking up residency at the area monastery, the two men awkwardly try not to blow their cover, even as Ned falls for a beautiful local girl, Molly (Demi Moore).
