We are in our 48th year! Thank you for supporting affordable housing on the Central Coast since 1970
As the largest affordable housing developer on California's Central Coast, we are so glad you are here! We invite you to learn more about our resident services, employment and housing opportunities, and how you can get involved with our organization.
Our Mission is to build homes and provide services to strengthen communities and change lives.
Jardin de las Rosas, Grand Opening - December 7
We are getting ready to celebrate!
Jardin de las Rosas will provide 40 affordable rentals near downtown Santa Barbara. Consisting of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units, this is one of the most exciting new properties under development. This property will include two very special facilities:
The Michael Towbes Community Center
If anyone understood the meaning of community, it was Michael Towbes. Both an influencer and an investor, he knew that a safe home and a great neighborhood was the start of so many good beginnings. After his passing earlier this year, it was noted at his memorial that the only thing he enjoyed more than a ground breaking, was a ribbon cutting! And so it is in his honor and in the furthering of his legacy that we name and open the Michael Towbes Community Center.
The Jeanette Duncan Learning Center
For over four decades, Jeanette Duncan not only helmed Peoples' Self-Help Housing, but was a thought leader for the entire affordable housing movement on the Central Coast, and beyond. Fearless and forthright, she built homes, families, character, and bright futures for the thousands of residents who benefited from her vision. The Jeanette Duncan Learning Center is named in her honor and in recognition of her founding vision.

Argentina will repay $5.9 billion of its debt on Monday in keeping with its repayment schedule, the country's economy minister said Friday.
"We will follow this deadline as we have done for years. It is the largest payment in one installment in a decade," Economy Minister Axel Kicillof said.
The payment will be made by drawing on the country's foreign exchange reserves, which showed a balance of $32.5 billion Friday.
"We will pay, all in good time, and Argentina will continue on the path of debt reduction."
A longstanding dispute over the debt with US hedge funds remains, however.
Since its economic collapse in 2001, Argentina, the third-largest Latin American economy, has renegotiated its debt with 93 percent of its creditors, but a handful of US-based hedge funds have held out for full repayment and refused debt restructuring.
A US court decision requires Argentina to repay those creditors in full, which Buenos Aires has called extortion by a group of "vulture funds."

About Sri Lanka Comprehensive Disaster Management Program
Nine years after launching of "Road Map for Safer Sri Lanka" in 2005, disaster management and risk reduction initiatives, institutional and legal frameworks and response capacity of the country's demonstrated a significant improvement. Based on the country's experience, global developments in DRR and, recommendations of the UNDAC Assessment conducted in 2011, the National Council for Disaster Management (NCDM) approved the development of comprehensive Disaster Management programme for Sri Lanka.
As a result of series of stakeholder consultations, discussions and debates, "Sri Lanka Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (SLCDMP) 2014 – 2018 was formulated and launched in September 2014.
It includes a collective understanding of the present Sri Lankan context of disaster management and a futuristic approach was identified by the stakeholder groups during their deliberations.
The SLCDMP was formulated using an integrated programme approach for disaster risk management. This integrated programme uses a partnership strategy where a number of Ministries, Departments, Non-Government Organizations and Private Sector will be responsible for the implementation of the activities identified in programme.
The SLCDMP focuses on 4 major outcomes and 43 outputs which will be implemented through various stakeholders. Several actions were identified under each outcome to address the key strategies outlined.

Actually, there is a point. It is just that you fail to understand it. But
then, you needn't worry about it, since it is outside of your area of
interest. So, as far as you are concerned, I can do with surrogates anything
I like, right? If UTC takes 128 unassigned codepoints and declares them to
be a new set of surrogates, you needn't worry either (your valid data will
still convert to any UTF). Unless you have a strict validator which already
validates unpaired surrogates. But you don't. I am pretty sure about it.

Blaming solves nothing. In this case it is just a philosophical excercise.
If a user encounters corrupt data and cannot process it with your program,
she ("she" is 'politically correct', but in this case can be seen as sexism)
will blame it on the program, not the data. The fact that your program
conforms to Unicode standard doesn't help you. Another program that doesn't,
might work. If the user chooses to use this other program instead of yours,
who will you blame?

Not in the way you would need to worry about. Did UTF-16 break UCS-2? No,
because the codepoints that were assigned to surrogates were not used
before. Same thing here.

This has been discussed mails back. UNIX filenames are already 'submitted'.
Once you set your locale to UTF-8, you have labelled them all as UTF-8.

150 - 154 of 242 reviews
The property is beautiful and provides a look back into the opulence of the 1920's film industry. It is unfortunate that one can not enter the buildings and get a first-hand view of the architecture and all of the craftsmanship.
Fell in love with the Mansion on the first visit.
Lots of ooh's and ahh's.
And so it was fitting, we had our civil ceremony here.
Lots of ooh's and ahh's.
- City views
- Manicured grounds
- Fountains and ponds
- Historical architecture
There are a few rules:
*No professional photography without a permit (trust me, the park rangers are there to regulate).
*No video
*No smoking
*No dogs
Unfortunately, from time to time, there will be tour buses and hoards of tourists being loud and obnoxious, but the place is so big (18.3 acres), you can avoid contact.
Greystone is open daily:
10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time
10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Daylight Savings Time
Please note that on weekends (especially during Spring and Summer months) weddings and special events are common at Greystone, therefore, some areas will be off limits.
Admission to the grounds and parking are FREE.
This huge mansion and public park is a well kept secret in Beverly Hills. As a local I wish I'd known about it sooner. A great place to come and relax and see the amazing Los Angeles skyline from the west side. It's a total plus that numerous films have been shot at this location and when you walk around the estate you will start to recognize it from your favorite movies.
A very interesting spot in regard to the movies that have been filmed in the mansion and on the grounds. Disappointing that one cannot tour the mansion. Aside from that, beautifully manicured gardens, lawns, and koi ponds. The view is very good and worth the short drive/walk to the overlook areas.

Case for Grace for Kids
Written by Lee Strobel, Jesse Florea
Illustrated by
Case for Grace for Kids by Lee Strobel, Jesse FloreaWhat does grace really mean? How can God's grace impact your life? How can you experience grace every day? This new book by New York Times bestselling author, Lee Strobel, shows how God's love is for everyone-no matter what. Through stories of everyday people whose lives have been changed, you will discover God's love and the power of forgiveness. You will experience God's amazing grace and be able to share it with others.
The Professor,
The Executioner,
With Case for Grace for Kids, primary author Lee Strobel aims to share the good news of God's munificence and love. He writes of his personal encounter with discovering and accepting God's grace, and incorporates many of his own thoughts and realizations throughout the book. A final chapter provides numerous biblical citations to help readers find references to grace in scripture. With conversational chapters, easy readability, and compelling situations, Case for Grace for Kids offers a means for young readers to discover and explore the certainty of God's grace. At the end of each case, a shaded box ( Face-to-Face with Grace ) poses questions for discussion or introspection. Cartoon drawings by Terry Colon and sidebar trivia (the name Grace, saying grace before meals) add a light touch. Nina Ditmar, CLJ * Christian Library Journal *

text: Unite challenges London's bus firms to Acas talks 11 February 2015 Britain's largest union, Unite laid down the gauntlet to the capital's 18 bus operators today (Wednesday 11 February) by challenging them to enter into talks at the conciliation service Acas. The call came as Unite postponed two 24 hour London wide bus strikes, scheduled for Friday 13 February and Monday 16 February, in an act of goodwill to facilitate talks over a collective forum covering the pay and conditions of London's bus workers. The move comes as the union seeks legal assurances from Transport for London (TfL) over concerns expressed to Unite, which if true, could mean the transport body has been interfering in the dispute in an unlawful manner. Unite is also requesting that TfL's board members sign a neutrality statement vowing not to block talks aimed at resolving the dispute between the union and London's 18 bus operators. Unite claims a refusal by the operators to address pay inequality has led to pay gaps of over £3 an hour for new starters opening up, with pay varying from £9.30 to £12.34 an hour depending on the company. So far over 20,000 bus workers working for 18 bus operators have taken part in two days of solidly supported strike action, causing widespread disruption. Commenting, Unite regional officer Wayne King said: "We call on the capital's bus operators to seize this window of opportunity and join us collectively in talks at Acas. There can be no excuses for them not to. "We've postponed the two days of strike action in an act of goodwill and we are not asking them to break competition law by meeting us collectively. The ball is firmly in the court of London's bus companies. "They have a duty to London's 6.8 million bus passengers to join us in collective talks to end the pay inequality and pay chaos on London's buses. All we are asking for is a collective forum to discuss how we can end pay disparities over a sensible timeframe. "A failure to do so will mean that strike action and the disruption caused by the last two strongly supported strikes will be back on the cards." On TfL's neutrality during the dispute he added: "We urge TfL to start playing a constructive role and sign a public statement of neutrality to confirm that operators can negotiate freely with Unite. "TfL should have no problems signing such a statement and indeed should welcome the opportunity to clarify its position." In contrast to tube drivers, there isn't one collective pay deal for bus drivers in the capital, whose pay is negotiated on a company by company basis leading to pay inequality and disparities. There are hundreds of different pay rates covering London's bus drivers, doing the same job, even driving the same route but for different rates of pay. ENDS For further information please contact the Unite press office on 020 3371 2065 or Unite head of media and campaigns Alex Flynn on 020 3371 2066 or 07967 665869. Notes to editors: Unite is Britain and Ireland's largest trade union with over 1.4 million members working across all sectors of the economy. The general secretary is Len McCluskey. Unite represents over 27,000 bus workers working for 18 bus companies who serve Greater London. These are: Arriva North, Arriva South, Selkent, London General, Metroline, Metroline West, Metrobus, CT Plus, London United, Abellio South, Abellio West, London Sovereign, Stagecoach, Blue Triangle, Northumberland Park, Tower Transit, Docklands and London Central.

OK i know that America thinks they are the good guys and whatnot, but
to change facts and replace them with fiction to make yourselves look
better is just pathetic. Adding to that they had the audacity to call
it "Based on a true story".
A ridiculous attempt once again by America to make Islam and Islamic culture look like the devils own. A propaganda film at its best (which is not much considering that Kristen Stewart probably has more acting skill than Ben Affleck) It just seems to gloss over the fact that it was America and its allies were the real VILLAINS who put Iran under the rule of the puppet master in the coup in the first place, so they could exploit the country and stop it from progressing. This was just the people taking back their country. if the same puppet had threatened America in any way, they would have gone after him like they did to Iraq, Afghanistan, (Insert name of Muslim country here). Fact is this movie was just made to make America feel happy about itself.
and no I'm not a Muslim. Just a believer in truth and fact.
The storyline itself makes for a great film if time was given to
explore characters more and background more, the film hits the ground
running then its given the rest of the time it has to try and elongate
a very specific part of the story which culminates in a fevered 15
minute ending.
I would watch it again but not biased on the reviews that others have given it. I did not approach the film from an historical point of view only from an entertainment point. So please find that this review has no shouts of the film being racist, anti-Iranian, anti this and anti that I only wish that people reading this review do not take into account some other reviewers offering reviews biased on their political and religious opinion. Just review the chuffing film. please
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
There should be a ratings system (another one!) for movies "Based on a
True Story." There would be one rating "T" for true story one that
supplements a History education with a true depiction of historical
events. A second rating with be "SL" this movie is based on real events
by Some Liberties have been taken for dramatic effect. And finally
"TBS" although this movie does relate to real historical events, it is
Totally Bullshit.
Argo is sorta based on real events, but as it goes along, it gets more and more like a comic book version of what happened in Tehran in 1980. Six Americans escaped the takeover of the American Embassy and were able to hide in the Canadian Ambassador's house after they were hid by the British and with help from the New Zealanders. If you believe this movie the British turned the American's away. Ouch turning on our best friends in the world!
If you believe this crap, you believe that one brave American outsmarted the Iranians and rescued these six Americans. The facts were that it was a very brave Canadian Ambassador who stuck his neck out and orchestrated the escape.
This embarrasses me as an American. Americans have accomplished a lot and have shown extraordinary bravery. But that does not mean that every heroic act has to be falsified that it was done by an American. Movies like this and The Great Escape and U-571 are a slap in the face to other nations and belittle us as taking credit for other countries heroism. (In the Great Escape, Americans and British dug tunnels to escape from a POW camp, IN real life the Americans were transferred out before the big breakout and the Brits escaped. In the movie it was the Americans who escaped including a motorcycle riding Steve McQueen who hurdles the barbed wire on his bike.) In U-571 some American Sailors enter a sinking German Submarine to grab a German code breaking machine, Very heroic, except that the sailors were British.
If you are an American you should be embarrassed by this kind of stuff. If another country, say Italy made a "true" movie of how they landed on the Moon, wouldn't you think its a joke? That's this movie.
On top of that, the socko ending never happened. The Ben Affleck character (who was part Mexican in real life) did not take them to the Bizarre, they did not have their tickets cancelled, they did not have a problem with security, and there was no chase down the runway. IN fact they went to the airport at 5 in the morning and caught a plane and flew away.
If you're gonna make a movie based on true events, tell us up front that what you're presenting is a total pack of lies. Embarrassing.

ARGO (2012) *** Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, John Goodman, Victor Garber, Tate Donovan, Clea DuVall, Scoot McNairy, Rory Cochrane, Christopher Denham, Kerry Bishe, Kyle Chandler, Chris Messina, Zeljko Ivanek, Titus Welliver, Keith Szarabajka, Bob Gunton, Richard Kind. Based on true life account of the 1979 Iran hostage crises focusing on six Americans hidden by the Canadian Ambassador while the CIA orders a covert op to rescue them from harm's way with Affleck as liaison Tony Mendez who cooks up a wild scheme involving Hollywood as a plot point (posing as a film crew scouting exotic locales for the fictional titular sci-fi flick). As the clock ticking potboiler attempts for ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN prestige it falls short namely for the six characters assumed to be worthy of saving when they are instead depicted as quite frankly obnoxious and irritating. Affleck continues his streak as a filmmaker with a tightly scripted docudrama feel from Chris Terrio's adaptation based on an article by Joshuah Bearman and a solid character actor cast buoys its pretensions with aplomb.
I don't like to believe the myth that Hollywood loves movies about
itself, but this movie proves that myth true better than any other I've
seen. It's a cool story for sure, but it gets too wrapped up in the
premise of making a fake movie. There is a lot of time spent shooting
down other ideas and going through the process of publicizing a fake
movie. It was necessary and sometimes entertaining to see, but it could
have taken up less time. Even the "Argo f--- yourself" line adds to
sense that the movie is rather full of itself.
What I found more interesting was the details of the plan to rescue the six Canadians. Ben Affleck's character Tony is at his best when he's trying to get the hostages to buy into his plan and working to get them home. There was a much more human element to it, and they were more in line with what I think is more of the purpose of movies that are based on real events. When events are described in the news or in many historical books, it is easy to forget that they are about real people with real stakes, and dramatizations of such events help to put those sorts of things into better perspective. Argo is paced much faster and made a bit more entertaining than most non-fictional movies, but it neglects its characters for the most part.
For these reasons, I don't agree with it winning the Best Picture Oscar. There was too much that could have been better, and a little too much narcissism laced into it. Perhaps someone who really enjoyed it could convince me of its value and quality, but I find it to be overrated and not true to itself. Overall Rating: 7.2/10.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
It's an important movie because the incident that began this whole
Middle East muddle in which we now find ourselves -- let's think of it
as the index incident -- is fast disappearing down the memory hole. The
Iranian takeover of the U.S. embassy in Teheran in 1979 is as remote
from younger Iranis as the Vietnam war is to our college students. It's
something they read about in history books. The mutual enmity has
become functionally autonomous; it's an ongoing thing and now feels as
if it's always been there.
So it's important if only for its educational value. It's also a suspenseful story in itself. While the enraged Iranis storm the American embassy and occupy it, six of the staff escape out the back door and are finally given safe quarters in the house of the Canadian ambassador, while the rest of the staff are not so lucky. No one has any idea of what will happen to the six escapees. They could be caught and murdered momentarily. And they have no way of getting out of the country.
Enter Ben Affleck as Tony Mendez, intrepid agent of the CIA, whose book this screenplay is based on, alas. I hope no one expects a personal memoir by a CIA hero to reflect any characterological weaknesses such as self doubt or vanity or hesitancy or fear. Affleck is grimly determined throughout, despite the company's attempts to shut the operation down. "I will get you out. That's what I do," he tells his terrified wards repeatedly. The outrageous plan is to give the six Americans new identities as location scouts for a film company.
The script, and Affleck's performance, turns Mendez into a cipher. He seems to have only one trait -- that obsession to get them out. But then the script doesn't give any of the six hostages any personality either. They each have one trait, if that many, and are otherwise impossible to distinguish from one another. Well, that's not entirely true, because you can tell the men from the women.
The story itself is intrinsically strong. The problems of getting a new identity and fooling the house-to-house Irani searchers at the airport, are spelled out in a jumbled kind of way. But Affleck, the director, and his cameraman seem to have caught some sort of palsy that has been endemic in Hollywood for the last decade or more.
The hand-held camera is hardly ever still. The cuts come quickly, one upon the other. There are swish pans, wobbles, innumerable close ups of static faces where there need be no close ups at all. That's during the contemplative periods. During the action scenes, forget it -- a kaleidoscope of flashing images. As a result, the movie has taken on some of the visual qualities of a rock video, or a TV commercial for pimple cream, exercycles, or SUVs with Ma Deuces on top. ZOOM, BANG, Ooops, pardon me! The stylistic quirks juice up a story that needs no more juice than it already has. A suspense thriller doesn't need to convince us that it's supposed to be thrilling. I mean, cf., "All The President's Men", and count the close ups and wobbles.
But the directorial and editing style may just be trying to keep pace with the headlong layout of exposition. A brief but very valuable and dispassionate historical introduction is quickly tossed aside in favor of in favor of shots in which some Suit rushes into an office somewhere, grabs a phone and shouts, "WHAT? They can't DO that!" And I couldn't tell who "they" were or what they weren't supposed to do.
Except for Affleck's robotic honcho, the performances are okay, and some are better than that. Thank God for Alan Arkin and John Goodman, who inject a necessary dose of humor and cynicism into the movie. Even without them, the movie would have been better than the average junk pouring out of the studios, if only because of its political and historical significance. Yet, I'm getting awfully tired of being yanked by the ear from one place to another. Why don't "they" take a breather and watch "Lawrence of Arabia" again?
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The film starts with the title card "Based on a True Story". Yes, you
can base a film on a true story and then fictionalize parts of it. But
it is another thing to add way too many obvious tension-building
fabrications to suggest that their escape was inches away from doom.
Aside from these implausibilities within the manipulative plot, this
movie jumps with energy by wise dialogue and quick pacing.
Many things are done with assured direction that is easy to see why it was nominated for many Academy Awards. There is sharp exchanges between government entities. Using the "E.R." template, all these conversations take place in motion while the characters are en route to somebody's office or some other place. This type of staging is effective in propelling this risky drama in the backdrop of the hate-fueled protests in Iran in the late 1970s. I also enjoyed the tension-filled early technology, when a phone was still leashed to a wall inside a room.
But these spoilers had me groaning
I wonder if the potential hostages had to really parade themselves through a busy marketplace as part of their disguise. I really wish it was true that the CIA pulled the plug by deliberately removing the flight reservations (why??), and leave a CIA operative stuck in Iran empty-handed. I really wish it was true that the housekeeper of the Canadian embassy was interrogated as the Americans were heading to the airport. Or that one of the dozens of students piecing together shredded photos recognised one of the Americans as they were boarding the airplane. Or that police vehicles were chasing down the 747 as it was lifting off.
.End Spoilers
I really wish it was true that this winner of Best Picture earned it's stripes by the authenticity of this caper, based on a true story. But of course the intricate details of the event will not be available to the public to verify. I think Ben Affleck has a great sense of pace and intelligence, but I was feeling a little too manipulated in order milk the tension to the level of disbelief.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I finally got to see this film when it came out on DVD. And my
question, having done so, is: just what is all the fuss about?
I was still a callow youth when the actual events on which the movie is supposedly based happened, but I remember feeling really sorry for those taken hostage. But that's the problem with this film. I really didn't feel any connection at all with the 6 people shown being hidden in Iran by the Canadians, before being taken out under fake identities. The scene on the Swissair flight when it becomes clear they have actually got out is nice, but no more.
Most objectionable is the politics, with American heroism and ingenuity being talked up, the role of the Canadians being reduced to a supporting act, and the British, who also helped, not being mentioned at all.
There are some plus points. The acting is mostly good. The climactic scene as the Iranian authorities chase a jumbo jet along the runway at Tehran airport is fictitious and implausible, but exciting all the same. The music is effective.
When all's said and done, though, the film just doesn't deserve the awards it won but, to be fair, I wouldn't give it any Razzies either.
Rating: 6/10
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The movie suggests that it is telling the "real" story about what
happened to the six Americans trapped in Iran during the Iran Hostage
Crisis and how they escaped the country. It is a fanciful mumbo-jumbo
of how the CIA, using good old American ingenuity, created this
ingenious cover story of "Argo" and to the relief of the timid
Canadians, who were getting nervous and scared about harbouring them,
whisked them magically and suspensefully out of the country and back to
freedom. All would be well, if it there was even a shred of truth to
it. Instead, it is all fiction, but to a new generation of American
youth, this will be how it "really" happened. You can hear them now
chanting, "USA!!USA!!"
So why does Hollywood make a movie like this? Well, for one, you do not make a movie for Americans showing "anyone else" having to rescue them. Their egos just will not stand it. It has to be Americans who rescue their fellow Americans, for god forbid that the "greatest nation on earth" should ever be in a position to need rescuing!! A movie, based on the actual facts of the incident, remembered in history as the "Canadian Caper" would keep American audiences away from the cinema in droves. But bend the truth, make an American CIA agent the hero, and Voila!! Not only a box-office hit, but an Academy Award winner for Best Picture!!
Who cares if this pictures takes a dump on America's few remaining friends. England, who originally harboured the fugitives and then snuck them to the Canadian ambassador's house, and New Zealand, who actually helped transport the fugitives to the airport for their flight to freedom, were said in this movie to have "Refused to help". Well thanks for nothing guys. The Canadian ambassador, Ken Taylor, who in real life quietly led the US contingent through the airport and out of the country with no fanfare, just quiet common sense, is portrayed and afraid and clueless.
Maybe the moral of all this is, next time America needs help, their friends should tell them to go ask Hollywood.
I am simply stunned (but I should not be surprised anymore) how in the world and with right reason does Argo even get nominated for any Academy Award, let alone win Oscars, including best Motion Picture? Ben Affleck must know the right people in charge, etc. and that is all that really matters for him to win again this trophy. The integrity of the Academy Awards once again is at stake. I simply cannot understand it anymore. I wonder why folks like Sergio Leone, Peter O'Toole, Liam Neeson, and so many others have won nothing for their role in a film at the AA. O well! As far as the Argo flick itself, I will not give it away, but judge it for yourself and ask if it is better than A Most Wanted Man (2014)?

text: Apparently, developers have the option to change the color / brightness of the Home Bar as it's displayed in their apps. I home Amazon provides an update soon to fix that. For example, i often read in bed late at night and chose to invert the colors (black background withe white font) set to the lowest brightness. However the Homebar is a very bright white and I have to use my finger to hide it.

This is a rather unusual record. The duo of clarinetist Buddy DeFranco and guitarist Jim Gillis perform ten "Etudes" that had been commissioned as an educational project for jazz clarinet students. Since the music contains some strong (if not particularly memorable) melodies, DeFranco and Gillis decided to record the pieces and improvise off of them. The results are pleasing, making this somewhat rare LP a bit of a collector's item.

Secure authentication access will become even more paramount as more organizations move to virtualized computer services and hosted applications i.e. cloud computing.
Continued lapses in network security are holding back more activities being conducted online, poor security leads to distrust and this stifles adoption of technological change. If cyber security is better designed it will increase user certainty and it will result in greater use of the internet and better accumulation of skills by users and foster changes in user habits and the way commerce is undertaken. There will be a greater adoption of new methods of communication which will greatly assist the planet in reducing the requirements for people to travel unnecessarily.
This can't happen to soon, if climate experts are to be believed, it is a matter of urgency. Even if they are not to be believed the fact is that at the current increasing rates of energy consumption and prices and projected shortages are going to eventually dictate changes if technological developments in renewable and efficient energy use are not developed fast enough. It will just then be a question of whether we tackle those problems in the context of a significantly degraded environment.
At present armies of people travel each day from their homes to various places of work in metropolitan regions all over the world many in private motor vehicles. Sadly governments have been ploughing huge investments into infrastructure to cope with this traffic demand that could be used to invest in the infrastructure that will be required in the future, for example better communications and public transport. Many of these people are white collar workers doing jobs on computers or using paper based systems or a combination of both that could well be done from their own residence without the need for travel to an office or meeting venue but only occur in this manner because organisations have yet to come to terms with controlling processes and protecting information in an online working environment.
Secure remote access is critical to the process and yet still today most remote access to information systems, processes, networks and applications are controlled by a user name that is not masked, a password that has insufficient controls and with no lockouts to prevent hacking attempts because to do so results in users being locked out when hacking attempts are made. Many organisations inadvertently publicise where their most valuable asset, their customers, logon and may unintentionally inconvenience and confuse their existing customers when running promotions to attract new customers and vice versa.
There are many client side solutions that purport to secure client computers for authentication but in truth most of these will not detect a compromised client device. Strength must come from a properly constructed set of routines that test the veracity of the person seeking to gain entry to the network the solution provided by Armorlog is the only solution for networks, computers and intelligent devices with a graphical user interface capability that does this.
If required, tokens or certificates can be an additional level of security however these are not practical in many circumstances and lead to additional costs of maintenance and device capability to cater for the additional system requirements. There is an ever increasing variety of operating systems on client equipment to cater for and when combined with the increasing numbers of updates it becomes unwieldy for system administrators. A solution such as Armorlogs' that is server side based can alleviate this demand and will be of significant value for network administrators.
Secure authentication access will become even more paramount as more organizations move to virtualized computer services and hosted applications i.e. cloud computing. The challenge will be to operate systems that allow for memorable sets of access credentials that users can easily remember while having a system that is designed to deploy sufficient complexity and sophistication to deter hacking attacks. In doing this security will be improved and users and organisations will have more confidence to allow remote computing to be undertaken by more of their work force. If security is properly developed in authentication methods more purchasing will occur online reducing the need for travel. This may also facilitate more efficient goods transfer systems as transport logistics specialists may benefit from increasing outsourced volumes.
Collaboration for freight distribution may not come about by organisations acting alone it may be important that outsourcing for goods transportation is encouraged to facilitate maximum efficiency to assist in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Facilitating online commerce will assist in this process as businesses customer bases become more disparate it will necessitate the outsourcing of goods movements by more and more organisations which in turn will facilitate development of transport logistics. This will occur more quickly when online security is properly deployed and organisations can feel safe in decentralising information management processes & procedures and user can feel more confident in dealing with online merchants.
Improving computer, network and internet security will facilitate this and consequently will indirectly help to reduce pollution by creating a safer environment to encourage more commerce to be conducted online, resulting in more efficient use of transport. Obviously the improvement of security and safety on the internet is of paramount importance in any case but if climate scientists are correct then this is perhaps a more urgent task than might otherwise be apparent.
