CNET First Look
Harman Kardon Soho Wireless headphone: swanky looks and soundHK's compact Bluetooth headphone is one of the better sounding on-ear wireless models, with nifty touch controls.
[MUSIC] I'm David Carnoy, and this is the Harmon Kardon Soho Wireless on air bluetooth headphone; which carries the list of price of $250. At first glance this looks very similar to its wired sibling, but Harmon has made some small design improvements, including moving from cloth covered ear pads to this leather covering. I also much prefer the new lightweight carrying case that comes with these headphones which fold flat and are very travel friendly. As you can see, they have a swanky, premium feel to them, though their small, square ear cup design may not appeal to everyone's aesthetic taste. I found them comfortable to wear, though they will jostle around a little bit if you move your head from side to side quickly. That said, they do offer reasonably good noise isolation despite their small size. As far as features go, you get NFC tap to pair technology for devices that support it, as well as aptX support. Can also listen to these in wired mode if your battery dies. And there's a built-in microphone for making cell phone calls. I'm not sure what the battery rating is. But it seems to be well over 10 hours, because I didn't have to recharge after a week of using them on my commute to and from work. The big extra feature is the touch sensor built into the right ear cup. It allows you to advance tracks forward and back and raise and lower volume by simply swiping your finger across the ear cup. You can also tap once to pause or answer calls. Until now this is a feature found on even higher end headphones like the Parrot [UNKNOWN]. I sometimes had to swipe a couple of times to advance tracks but overall the touch controls worked well for me and I really liked having them on board. The sound is also quite good for a Bluetooth headphone. And by that I mean the headphone sounds pretty natural with clean fairly balanced sound. There's a decent amount of bass but it's not overpowering and the clarity is good. I'm not sure the sound's quite on par with Bose's Soundlink on your Bluetooth headphone, which also costs $250, but it's close. In the end, I came away liking this wireless version of Soho a lot more than the wired version. Its fit and style may not be for everybody, but it's a very good on-ear Bluetooth headphone. I'm David Conaway. Thanks for watching. [MUSIC]

YouTube, an industry of online videos, has evolved and led people to become young entrepreneurs or what most other people call as "YouTuber". It's one way to become famous and also to earn money. So, if you are looking to become a YouTuber, chances are you have thought about subscribing to YouTube's monetization program.
YouTube offers monetization - through Adsense - to any content creator that has 10,000 views or more in their content. However, it is not easy to get those views. If only there is some way to make that easy, and if only you can buy YouTube likes, reaching that number is as good as done.

When I was a kid, I had a friend whose father was an artist. His trade was sign-painting, and his neat, competent work provided his family with a comfortable living. I don't remember his commercial work as having much by way of flair, but this could well have been a preference on the part of his mostly Mennonite clients. His house and workshop, however, were a very different story.
Childhood memories have a size and scope all their own, of course. The interiors to these buildings seemed enormous and infinite, as did their detailing. Entering them was like exploring a fractal pattern, or living out the benign confusion of Little, Big. Pretty much everything the Mennonite Code had been set to deny was on intimate display. The shop contained the skeletal workings of a Piper two-seater; the shelves were cluttered with military models painted with painstaking attention to detail. Rock & Roll wasn't an issue in this household: when I explored the stereo cabinet, I beheld the howling grandeur of Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell album cover for the first time. Then, of course, there were the naked ladies - while he took care not to be ostentatious about it, his appreciation for cheesecake was undeniable and tastefully set out for all to see. Naturally, his wife was a real ball of fire.
For all that, he was also a pious man and a good friend to my father. After researching the art of bookbinding, he bound my father's master's thesis. When my parents announced their move to California, he presented them with a framed bit of scripture - plaut-dietsch in ornate calligraphy. He and his wife also did a "missionary" stint on foreign shores when midlife set in with its varieties of grinding impatience.
I didn't really get to know him, but of the various adults I've watched and absorbed as role models, he sits close to the center. In my own modest way I try to keep our home open to influences of exotic origin. I have my own measured piety, but I greatly dislike being directed to shun the cultural whoops, sighs, and howls that claim antipathy to religious devotion. And while I'd never tackle the reconstruction of a lawn-mower, nevermind an airplane, his enduring fascination with models stuck with me - they are my first resource when I get to feeling emotionally adrift.
I think of him whenever I check out Drawn!, but this entry was particularly evocative. Not only would a paper reconstruction of Howl's Moving Castle be right up his alley, but the castle itself is evocative of my childhood experience of the artist's home - a moving castle in the clouds of my memory. If I could get my hands on it, I'd take two copies of this beauty: one as a gift to the man, the other as a personal totem to his mystical influence.

U of I Urbana
It is called "The Diana Fountain." However, it has also been termed by students as "The Bidet" due to the water shooting upwards, and also the "Eternal Douche" for the same reason. Recently, the University has lowered the water pressure and those terms are less common now.
Now I know I must get back to paimtimg!!

Height: 2960 feet above sea level.
Volume: Book 4 (The Southern Fells)
Date climbed: First visit: 19th March 2011 (walk 34). Second visit: 25th November 2016 (walk 121).
Bagged as number: First round: 106 out of 330. [ << Esk Pike (105) (107) Mardale Ill Bell >> ]
Second round: 82 of 330. [ << Low Pike (81) (83) Hampsfell >> ]
Route of ascent and descent: First visit: Ascended from Ore Gap, descended to Three Tarns and then down to Great Langdale.
Second visit: Came up from Dungeon Ghyll via the Band and then the 'Walkers' Route' (see page Bowfell 6). Descended the same way as last time.
What Mr Wainwright says (from page 2 of his chapter): "A favourite of all fellwalkers, Bowfell is a mountain that commands attention whenever it appears in a view. And more than attention, respect and admiration too; for it has the rare characteristic of displaying a graceful outline and a sturdy shapeliness on all sides…. As much as any other mountain, the noble Bowfell may be regarded as affording an entirely typical Lakeland climb, with easy walking over grass giving place to rough scrambling on scree, and a summit deserving of detailed exploration and rewarding visitors with very beautiful views. Rank Bowfell among the best half-dozen."
What I say: As Wainwright's words clearly state, Bowfell is one of the big ones; the sixth-highest mountain in England and a very popular climb. Which all means that I doubt you will be alone here should you visit it.
After my first visit I said that I hadn't quite seen the best of Bowfell, but I heartily revise this statement following my second visit, on which the weather was spectacularly good, and snow above 1500 feet gave the climb a real sense of adventure. I regret not trying the Climbers' Traverse (although that was the sensible decision on the day), but that just gives me a reason to return again in the future.
The best feature on the fell is the Great Slab of Flat Crags, the like of which I have never seen before – it really is just an almost perfectly flat, and gigantic, slab of rock, the size of a football pitch at least. The topmost fifty feet of the fell are no picnic, the whole summit being, in Wainwright's words (page 11), "a shattered pyramid, a great heap of stones and boulders and naked rock, a giant cairn in itself." With possibly the sole exception of Scafell Pike, Bowfell probably has the roughest and spikiest summit in Lakeland (it was actually easier when covered in snow), but the effort is well worth it as it also has what must be one of the best views in the country. It's all worth a visit, certainly.

A couple of days ago, I talked about the paradox of salvation. That though the path to salvation is so easy, yet it is difficult. All we have to do is put our faith in God and Jesus' work on the cross and we'll be saved. And yet so many people don't. We see this problem with the Jews. Paul writes,
But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our message?" (10:16)
That's not just the problem with the Jews; it's the problem with most people today. To this very day, these words ring true. "Lord, who has believed our message?"
Paul then says,
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. (10:17)
In other words, two things are necessary to be saved. To hear the message of the gospel and to believe it.
What is the problem? Why don't so many Jews and others believe. Is it that Christ has not spoken? Or is it that they have not heard? Not at all. Paul writes,
Did they not hear? Of course they did: "Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world." (10:18)
The quote here, from Psalm 19:4, talks about how the heavens declare the glory of God. Paul then applies this to the gospel, that Jesus' words had gone into all the known earth.
Paul then asks,
Again I ask: Did Israel not understand?
Rhetorical question here, the answer being, "No, they didn't understand."
And Paul goes on to talk about the irony of the work of God. That those God revealed himself to first (the Jews) rejected him, but when God went on to others, those others did believe. Paul says,
I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me. (10:20)
God is specifically talking about the Gentiles here. That though the Gentiles were going their own way and were not even seeking God, God revealed himself to them and they accepted him.
The truth is, though, verse 20 can equally be applied to the Jews. They weren't really seeking God. They had started worshiping other gods in Egypt. (Joshua 24:14) Yet God revealed himself to them. But what was their response when God revealed himself to them?
God said of them,
All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people. (Romans 10:21)
Why didn't they believe? They saw all the miracles. The ten plagues in Egypt. The parting of the Red Sea. The manna in the desert. And so much more. They had every reason to believe.
Then Jesus came. He performed miracles. He cast out demons. He preached words of wisdom such as they had never heard before. And yet they rejected him. Why?
The others (Jews) were hardened, as it is written: "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes so that they could not see and ears so that they could not hear, to this very day." (11:7-8)
This is a quote from Isaiah 29. I talk more about this here, but the idea from this passage is that the Jews first blinded themselves. And so God said, "You don't want to see? Fine. Be blind."
That's what happened with the Jews. For hundreds of years, despite all God did and said, they refused to believe. So God gave them over to their unbelief.
That's the danger for all who hear the gospel. If we harden ourselves to it, sooner or later, God will say, "Fine. Dwell in your unbelief," and he gives us over to the results of that unbelief: death.
So don't harden your hearts to God's message of salvation. Don't listen to it with a heart that is skeptical and hardened from the beginning. If you do, you will only blind yourself and you will die, separated from God for all eternity.
Instead, open your heart. For only in Christ and his message of salvation will you find life.

Getting back to my Kate Beckinsale film festival, I start with Haunted, a 1995 film directed by Lewis Gilbert. It's a low-budget ghost story, and is interesting for having all the modern ghost-story twists, but before The Sixth Sense and The Others. I won't give away the ending, but suffice it to say that you never know who's a ghost and who's not.
Aidan Quinn stars as a psychology professor in 1928 England. He's wracked by guilt over the death of his twin sister during childhood, and has come to be a debunker of spiritualists and mediums. He is called to an estate by a family whose nanny is going nutso thinking there's ghosts on the premises. The first family member he meets is the ravishing Beckinsale, but her brothers are a bit off the boil. One of them, Anthony Andrews, paints nude portraits of her.
Ghost stories are seldom done well, and this one moves in fits and starts (and Quinn is particularly wooden). Once again we get to see gratuitous nude shots of Beckinsale. And would a ghost really be able to drive a car? Stunning moment in the credits--one of the executive producers was Francis Ford Coppola.
Shooting Fish, from 1997, is a dreary example of a film that tries way too hard to be charming and eccentric and just comes off as annoying. It stars Dan Futterman and Stuart Townshend as con-men, and Beckinsale is their secretary. Futterman is the smooth-talker, while Townshend is the socially awkward technical genius. Both were orphans, and dream of living in a huge mansion, so they con rich people to meet their goal.
The film misfires on so many levels its hard to know where to start. The director and co-writer Stefan Schwartz starts with a supposition that was not true to this viewer--his main characters are sympathetic. I don't find their antics charming or noble or anything in between. I inwardly cheered when they did a stint in prison. Then there's a ridiculous ending, which involves a horse race, that comes out of nowhere, and has the outcome dictating whether some children with Down Syndrome will get kicked out of their house or not. Talk about loading the dice.
I hated almost frame of this movie, but Beckinsale comes out unscathed. Since she does not get naked in this film, I assume her career had turned a corner.

An American attorney1 had just finished a guest lecture at a law school in Italy when an Italian lawyer approached him and asked. "Is it true that a person can fall down on a sidewalk in your country and then sue2 the landowners for lots of money?"
Told that it was true, the lawyer turned to his partners and started speaking rapidly in Italian. When they stopped, the American attorney asked if they wanted to go to America to practice law.
"No, no." one replied. "We want to go to America and fall down on sidewalks."

Broken windows always fascinate me for some reason. These in particular caught my eye because the light refracting through the wired glass of the window on the left picked up the parking lot lights and changed the color of the reflections so that it very closely mirrored the color of the bricks.

Today I feel like an advertisement for ibuprofin. I slept horribly and woke up with a kink in my neck. While I wait for a call from my chiropractor, I wondered about the origin of the idiom "kink in my neck."
Turns out it's derived from the Dutch word "kink" (twist, twirl), as in a rope, wire, or lock of hair - especially one causing obstruction. The expression was first used in the 17th century. Interesting, yes. But does my neck feel better? No.

The Lee's Summit Fire Department didn't let 7,500 miles stand in the way of moving Ben Hicks up the ranks on Saturday.
Via the video linkup tool Facetime, Hicks received his promotion from paramedic/specialist to captain while serving in Qatar with the Missouri National Guard.
A big screen and laptops set up at Lee's Summit City Hall allowed family members, friends and colleagues to watch him take the oath from Chief Rick Poeschl in real time.
Hicks' family accepted the captain's new red helmet on his behalf.
The department said in a press release that Hicks, an employee since 2004, had been testing for the captain's position before being deployed with the Guard's 138th Infantry Division as a 1st Lieutenant. Hicks also serves as a tactical medic with the Lee's Summit Police Department's Emergency Services Squad.
He will return to Lee's Summit in early 2018, the department said.

Somehow all educationists who wish to be labeled as progressive have begun bandying words such as, Twenty-first Century Skills, Competency Based Education, Blended Learning, Internet-based Research Skills, and so on. Some of these so-called progressive Educationists will swear that Technology is the ultimate solution for all the problems in Education! Unfortunately in our mad rush to adopt Technology in Education we have forgotten the fact that Technology is meant to aid creativity and problem solving in students and not turn students into mere rote memorizers! Take for example the instance where Power Point Presentations are simply another excuse for making the students take notes. How much better is the Presentation than the lecture method if it is only used to make students take down notes in their notebooks? A PowerPoint Presentation can never be used as a stand-alone tool for contributing towards the learning of a particular topic, in fact, it needs to be accompanied by a spoken presentation and explanation by the person who has prepared the presentation.
Has Technology made us Lazy? Enter the Copy Paste Culture
Many a time I have been interrupted by some of my students while moderating an important discussion who didn't want to take down written notes of important observations thrown up during the discussion. They wanted me to simply e-mail the observations to them. They just didn't want to put in the effort of penning down important observations in their notebooks! Technology, if not used properly does make learners so lazy that they don't want to use their brains for homework so what they do is to login to one of the websites that provide the readers with ready made notes. What happens next is that the copy-paste culture takes over the slog and plod culture of yesteryears! Excessive use of Technology has made our young learners at the school level to ascribe to the Instant Coffee attitude rather than the Bread Making attitude, because of which they display impatience, have poor concentration levels, and look for instant gratification! A delay in providing instant reinforcement and rewards often leads to students losing interest in the lesson.
When the use of Technology overwhelms and distracts the learner from the lesson
The 'wow factor' of technology is, unfortunately, one of the greatest reasons why educationists want to use them. When the teacher switched on his laptop and then linked his blue-tooth enabled stand alone speaker and then played a recording of a popular poem, the students kept looking at the blue tooth device marveling at the amount of sound that was pouring out from this rather diminutive device. Often, when an educationist unveils a new technologically advanced gadget as a tool for learning, it is as if he is a magician who is going to show the students a trick or two! In another case, after the students had read a rather difficult short story based on the persistence of slavery in the southern states of America, (which they found difficult to understand because of cultural disconnect) they were consequently shown a film based on African American Culture after emancipation. The film, a powerful metaphor in itself drew the students away from the theme and message of the short story that had preceded its screening. In this case, it would have been better not to have shown the film, but then the availability of technology, the overhead projector, the Wi-Fi connection, the speakers linked to the projector and the teacher having a laptop with the film on-board which he had downloaded from the from the website since the film was in the public domain meant that the temptation of showing the film had been too great to overcome! The saving grace, however, is that continuous use of the same technology is that students soon become used to its 'wow factor' and then things return to normal! Proper use of technology will lead to what is called as 'Blended Learning' and will enhance the learning process. In unskilled hands, the very use of technology might lead to more confusion and distraction than understanding. As a distraction, however, the improper use of Technology might kill Critical thinking and Problem-solving abilities in students.
When Technology undermines socially accepted basic skills
When the student starts using a phone to record important interviews rather than write an important thing on a notepad, he might unsettle the speaker! The same can be said when the same student uses his laptop or calculator to do minor calculations, it can invite frowns and criticism about his inability to do even the most basic of calculations! When a teacher was using a calculator to total the marks in the caging sheet of his students' answer sheets, he was checked by another teacher who expressed surprise that he should use a calculator to do this, rather than total the figures in his mind!
The use of Technology might, in fact undermine the quality of Social Interaction!
It is said that the advent of the Internet has reduced distances and made the whole world a Global Village. E-Commerce has blurred boundaries and erased distances, which means that you can order a book from a far away country with the click of a button. For that effect, you can also buy stock shares in a distant country while sitting in the comfort of your living room while sipping on your wine. The use of Skype has meant that students can participate in exchange programs with their counterparts in far away countries without even having to leave their classrooms, forget about the expense of buying a ticket and running for a visa. The fact of the matter, however, is that the quality of social interaction has deteriorated tremendously. In times when one had penfriends, one took pains in writing letters, and yes one put a lot of thought while looking for correct words. Each letter thus written was a masterpiece of expression and a repository of genuine feelings. Today, as we are steadily drawn into a virtual world, which is without any depth of feelings and rather unemotional and mechanical. Today, when the teacher decides to switch to the discussion mode, it can be observed that students find it difficult to connect to each other, and they often display a shallow comprehension of what has been said by their classmates. Why also would a student bother to listen to his teacher explain a point when he or she can access the same on Google Search? Students have been known to show a total lack of interest in listening to an answer that might be wrong since they are smart enough having done research on the internet and crammed the notes and observations on a particular topic or poem. What these students are not ready to know is that they can learn from the mistakes others make. Students need to know that there is much to learn from each other and this includes listening to another's point of view wrong though it may be! Technology might thus curb divergent thought and ideas that go against accepted notes on a website. In such cases, the learner might place more value to what is provided on the internet, rather than appreciate the point of view beliefs and feelings of a fellow learner. In such cases, I have personally observed how students are ready to snap or mock at a student who voices a different point of view. I need to keep reminding them to let the student complete his or her observation. An important aspect of learning lies in appreciating another person's point of view, learning to be patient in listening to another person till the end. Patience, in such cases, is a virtue which has to be learned if one wants to learn to be a better human being. Education is also about learning important social skills, learning to interact with each other, learning to be polite and learning to open one's mind to other possible alternatives to a problem.
'When success is counted sweetest by those who have never succeeded!'
It goes without saying that we all learn from our failures. The Information Technology age and its associated technologies have taught us to be mechanically accurate to the point of thinking like machines. In such cases, errors are frowned upon, we have begun to train ourselves to think like machines. The inherent difference between the way that machines work and the way human beings think is leading to degraded creativity or divergent thinking. In an age which distances itself from the possibility of failure the fear itself of failure, means that we are directly or indirectly encouraging our learners to rote memorize accepted answers and beliefs. It is not good to fail, therefore, find ways to beat failure, even if it means memorizing stuff. Are we thus killing creativity in our learners by encouraging them to stick to accepted interpretations and popular beliefs? This, unfortunately, is the painful reality. How can learning take place unless it is coupled with the pain of failure? What about learning through experience – the experience of failure? Failure in itself contributes to a learning in itself through the mathematical process of elimination!
When the aesthetics of Technology promises a well-designed presentation
Students often come to me with queries regarding the kind of presentation that they should submit. They know very well that a presentation that is word processed and printed will look more presentable and appealing than one that has been written by hand! When an essay or an article or a thesis paper is word processed and printed, it brings with it immense possibilities. The placing of illustrations, the formatting of the page, the huge resources of illustrations, the uniformity of the font, all mean that the person who submits a printed project will by default submit a projects which will earn him more marks than the one who has laboured submitting a hand written project which he or she might have drafted a number of times to eliminate errors, which in the word processed form might have made use of the spell checker, and the facility of making corrections on the computer before the final submission! Whom would the teacfavorvour? The handwritten presentation, or the one that has been handwritten, the one over which the student must have literally sweated over?
Where information surfeit overwhelms us!
The immense resources available to us thanks to the Information Technology Age has left us more confused than ever! How much information will you incorporate into your project? How do you process all that information to draft an essay that has just the required number of value points? In most cases, the student will have spent more time in processing the huge amount of information than in thinking about the logical progression of ideas in his essay.
Where the accuracy of Information, facts and figures is more important than the learning of ideas.
Have we come a great way from the time when Albert Einstein had an argument with his History teacher about learning historical facts and figures? I guess we are still there. For Einstein, learning of ideas was more important than memorising facts and figures which were in any case available in text books. For Einstein it was more important to know why so many people died on the battle field rather the number of casualties. The history teacher laughed at him! Today, the history textbooks have been replaced by the websites that provide accurate facts and figures. Where then does the amount of information available on the net leave our learners? Is the getting of marks in exams dependent on the accuracy of the content, or is it dependent on the logical reasoning of the student and his or her ideas? Are we in fact marking our students for their memorisation of facts and figures available on the internet? Unfortunately, technology has rewarded those who can memorise facts rather than those who display an understanding of ideas! We are no better today than the History teacher who reprimanded Einstein for not having learned how many men were killed in the battle of Waterloo!
Technology is a useful tool and it should be used to empower learning, provide for understanding, promote problem solving and out of the box thinking!
This doesn't mean that we don't use technology in our pedagogy today. The purpose of this article is not to ignore the contribution of Technology to everyday pedagogy. Rather, the writer's rationale is that Technology should be the means to an end and not an end in itself. In our journey of progress, we have unfortunately forgotten that we are human beings and think and behave differently from machines. What marks us as different from machines is that we have the ability to thing differently and creatively. In our effort to provide the best in education, we should not ignore the fact that we are human beings, and we need to make our learners versatile, resourceful and creative. Our obsession with technology and machines has resulted in our creating a generation of nerds. What we need to do is to explore ways to use technology in such a way that it creates human beings who have a better understanding of the world they live in. The emotive aspect of learning, empathy for others, and producing learners who have compassion for others is more important than the creation of a generation of learners who are control freaks, nerds, and conformists.

I used to work for a local petrochemical company that specialized in small projects. They did a lot of little jobs for the small refineries that dot East Texas, adding valves and controllers and all the little things that need to be upgraded and maintained.
They were very good at what they did, and were very successful– but then they got greedy. "Why make small profits at small jobs?" they thought. "Why not make BIG profits at BIG jobs?"
The problem was, the people needed for small jobs were engineers that could dive into a problem and solve it themselves. The nature of the work required a certain take-charge go-it-alone initiative. They were good men and good engineers, but ill suited for bigger jobs that required scheduling, coordination, cooperation. They didn't have the right temperament.
The company went bankrupt within a year.
And I wonder if that's not similar to the root of most of America's current problems. It's a new world. Maybe the type of person required to build a new country is different than the kind of person required to maintain it. Maybe instead of people who bend the world to their will, we need the kind of people who can bend themselves to fit changing circumstances.
Once the current political tantrum subsides, changes will have to be made. Denying a problem is not the same as solving it, and the world has not historically been kind to slow adapters.

Lima, Peru — Alejandro Toledo's political honeymoon ended Monday almost as soon as it began.
The day after his election as president of Peru, the nation's largest daily newspaper, El Comercio, ran the headline: "Toledo (Wins), Now Get to Work!" The call for swift action underscored the desperation in crisis-ridden Peru for Toledo to lead the country forward after months of scandal and instability under Alberto Fujimori.
Conscious of the thirst for trustworthy government, Toledo, 55, was quick to say all the things Peru and the world wanted to hear. The president-elect, Peru's first elected ruler of Amerindian descent, called for a new era of political unity, healed wounds and pumped-up foreign investment in this impoverished Andean nation of 27 million.
His political opponents -- including former President Alan GarcM-ma, the once-disgraced left-wing politician who gave Toledo a close call in Sunday's vote -- vowed to come together in rebuilding institutions hit hard by Fujimori's corrupt years in office. To dramatize his commitment to unity, Toledo offered the job of cabinet chief to Lourdes Flores Nano, the conservative Lima lawyer who also ran for president and has emerged as the voice of Peru's right wing.
But given the track record of this nation's fractious opposition, many wondered whether the new president, who has never held political office, can rise to the challenges ahead.
After 10 years of corruption and coercion by Fujimori and his former intelligence adviser, Vladimiro Montesinos, Peru is fighting three types of crises. One is institutional, with a judiciary and military still rife with corruption. Another is economic, as the nation suffers recession and record unemployment. But perhaps most troublesome is a crisis of credibility in elected leaders.
After Montesinos allegedly stole millions, and seemingly everyone from opposition leaders to television stars were shown to be on the take from the old government, Peruvians have grown cynical about their politicians, including Toledo.

Steve Nash, weirdo librarian
October 28, 2014 | 9:08AM
Posted by Lang Whitaker
Lakers guard Steve Nash is out for the season with a back injury, and while it stinks to be missing the former two-time MVP on the court, there is an upside: Now we have a chance to see Nash wear a cardigan and a wig and pretend to be a strange librarian while he plays fantasy sports on an app on his smartphone. Actually, Nash kind of looks like the Area 51 lab director from Independence Day in this commercial.
From mediabistro.com:
BarrettSF enlisted the aid of Steve Nash to promote TopLine Game Lab's DailyMVP fantasy game, which differentiates itself from other fantasy sports leagues by offering short-format games that last from a day to a week.
In the ad, Nash dons spectacles and a wig, appearing as an everyday librarian who can feel like an MVP thanks to the fantasy app. "I love being a librarian," Nash says at the start of the spot, "but some days can be a little quiet." He goes on to demonstrate the app and how it adds some excitement to his daily routine (while getting shushed). The spot ends with the tagline, "Have an MVP day," emphasizing the short format. It was released to coincide with the start of the NBA season. A future spot starring Tom Brady will roll out near the end of the NFL season, when many players in traditional fantasy leagues have already been eliminated.

[0001] This invention is directed to the field of computer networks. It is more particularly directed to the Internet, trackers and servers that use cookies.
[0002] The Internet Protocol (usually referred to as IP) provides network connectivity to users across the world. The most common application in networks running this protocol is the HTTP protocol, which allows a web-browser to access a web-server over the Internet. HTTP is a request-response protocol, and is designed to be stateless. A stateless protocol is one that does not require either the client or server to remember any information from prior interactions.
[0003] For many types of web-based exchanges over the Internet, it is desirable to maintain some state across the different requests of the HTTP protocol. We refer to a scheme that can identify an user across multiple HTTP sessions as an user tracking mechanism. The most common user tracking mechanisms is for the web-server to store a cookie at the web-browser. A cookie is data that is placed within the web-browser by a client. This data is sent to the server by the browser whenever it makes a new request to the browser. Typically cookies are used to store the identity of an user so that multiple visits can be correlated. They can also store the profile or preferences of an user, or security credentials which allow an user to access specific content at a web-server.
[0004] When a server places a cookie on the browser, it can specify that the cookie be sent to servers other than itself. Adding other sites to the site to which the cookies can be sent allows cookie information to be shared with other servers. Restricting the sites that a cookie gets delivered helps in maintaining the security and privacy of data placed in the cookies. However, the current implementation of cookies in web browsers restricts the set of servers that can be specified to receive the cookie set in this manner. If a server sets a cookie, it can also request that the cookie be sent to other servers which share a domain name suffix with it. Thus, a server with domain name,
[0005] www.watson.ibm.com
[0006] can set a cookie to be set in the browser so that the cookie is sent only to
[0007] www.watson.ibm.com,
[0008] or to any machine with the name ending in
[0009] watson.ibm.com,
[0010] or to any machine with the name ending in
[0011] ibm.com,
[0012] or to any machine with the name ending in '.com'. The last choice in the list will send the cookie to all the machines in the '.com' domain. If a cookie contains information that is sensitive, e.g. the security credentials of the users, it is highly undesirable that the information be sent to many machines.
[0013] In many situations, it is desirable that the cookie information be shared with members of another domain As an example, a server
[0014] www.watson.ibm.com
[0015] may want to share its cookie information with the server,
[0016] www.berkeley.edu.
[0017] However, with the current way cookies are supported does not make it possible to set a cookie which will only be shared between these two servers. The only option would be to have a cookie that is sent to all the servers within the Internet, which is highly undesirable.
[0018] The same problem is experienced by other user tracking mechanisms. As an example, one common user tracking mechanism uses URL rewriting. In this mechanism, the content presented to an user is rewritten so that an unique tag is present in all links that the user may access. As the user clicks on the appropriate link, the tag is carried on to the site, and identifies the user across the sessions. When two sites use independent tags to track users, they are unable to correlate the user at one site with the user on the other site.
[0019] For purposes of this invention, we use the term user tracking mechanisms to refer to cookies; URL rewriting or other techniques that are used to identify users accessing a web-site; a domain to refer to a set of servers with whom the normal operation of the user-tracking mechanism can be used to share operations; and an user tracker as a server which employs an user tracking mechanism. It would be advantageous to be able to use the same user tracking mechanism across more than one domain, in which heretofore normal operation of the user tracking mechanism can not be used.
[0020] It is therefore an aspect of the present invention to provide a method by which two web servers and/or user trackers operating in two different domains can correlate user tracking information.
[0021] It is a further aspect of the invention to provide an apparatus by which two servers and/or user trackers operating in two different domains can correlate user tracking information.
[0022] It is a further aspect of the invention to enable a same user tracking mechanism to be used across more than one domain, where normal operation of the user tracking mechanism can not be used.
[0023] It is a further aspect of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus by which two web-servers and/or user trackers operating in two different domains can correlate cookies placed into a browser independently by them. It is a further aspect of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus by which two web-servers and/or user trackers can correlate user tracking information created as a result of URL rewriting mechanisms.
[0024] In an example embodiment of the invention, a web server and/or user trackers in one DNS domain establishes a cookie containing an identity field at a client's browser, redirects the client to a second web-browser with an uRL containing the identity field created in the cookie. The second web-browser creates a cookie with a second identity field, and stores the first identity field and the second identity fields in a global database. The database information is retrieved by the two web-servers to correlate the cookie information.
[0025] In an alternative embodiment, a global database need not be maintained, but rather each web-server maintains its own local database containing the identity of the different users. Each of the servers creates an unique identity for the client browser, and redirects the client to access an uRL at the other server which is used to create a local database correlating the two identities. Links from one server's pages to another are rewritten to carry the unique identities in the two sites. Applications of this invention include, but are not limited to: systems that correlate user identities across multiple domains, systems that provide single sign on support across multiple domains, systems that store user preferences based on client identity, etc.
[0026] These and other aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon further consideration of the following detailed description of the invention when read in conjunction with the drawing figures, in which:
[0032] Other objectives and a better understanding of the invention may be realized by referring to the detailed description.
[0033] The present invention provides methods and apparatus for sharing cookies and/or cookie-like objects within the Internet, trackers and/or servers. A typical environment in which user information is tracked within an IP network in shown in
[0034] domain
[0035] and it contains two of the servers shown, namely the server,
[0036] server
[0038] server
[0040] domain
[0041] and it contains the server,
[0042] server
[0044] Within the environment shown in
[0045] server
[0047] domain
[0049] server
[0051] domain
[0053] server
[0055] server
[0057] Instead of cookies, an alternative way to share user identity is to use the technique of URL rewriting in accordance with the present invention. In the context of URL rewriting, an unique identity is assigned to an user when the user first contacts a server. This identity is embedded in the URL which is passed to the user, and all links provided to the user are included in a similar fashion. The identity being used for an user is local to a server. In general, two servers can not share the information about a rewritten URL without explicit prior agreement. As opposed to cookies, the identity association of the user is not stored by the browser, and each identity association is specific to a particular session.
[0058] As an example of URL rewriting, consider a company which is accessed through its portal
[0059] http://www.company.com
[0060] The technique of user tracking using URL rewriting would have the web-server for the site redirecting users accessing the site
[0061] http://www.company.com
[0062] to another URL
[0063] http://www.company.com/<identity>/index.html.
[0064] The <identity> field is generated as an unique identifier for the specific session. If the links embedded in the page index.html (and other pages) are all relative, or if the server modifies the contents of a page to include the <identity> tag in all referenced links; the <identity> field would be part of the URL whenever the user clicks on any embedded links within the page under the normal conventions of HTTP protocol.
[0065] By looking at the <identity> field, the web site can determine who the user accessing a page is. However, if the user accesses the page,
[0066] http://www.company.com
[0067] again by explicitly typing the URL in a browser window (instead of following a link), he will get a new value for the <identity> field.
[0068] In many cases, it is highly desirable to know about the identity of the user when he goes from one site in a domain to a second site in another domain. This may be desirable so that a consistent set of information be displayed to the user across the domains, so that a single-sign on scheme be implemented, or simply for the purpose of identifying the common set of users in the two domains.
[0069] In an embodiment in accordance with the present invention, basic operation of the system follows a scheme in which each of the different domains uses their own user-tracking mechanism. When using cookies, they each set their own independent cookies at the browser. However, they also follow an additional step of coordinating the identity information contained in the cookie with each-other. This coordination allows the user to be tracked across multiple domains.
[0070] An example embodiment of a system which can be used to implement the cookie sharing mechanism is shown in
[0071] As an example, consider the case where the user tracking mechanism used by the two sites is a cookie. The first site
[0072] Those skilled in the art will realize that there are other mechanisms to direct the client to the second site. As an example, the well-known HTTP redirection mechanisms using a HTTP response code of
[0073] The steps involved in the cookie correlation as described in the environment of
[0074] The second web site executes the steps outlined in
[0075] In alternate embodiments of the present invention, the coordinated user information can be used in a variety of ways. One of the uses of the coordination information is to share access control and authentication information. As an example, the first web site may have authenticated the credentials of the users and created a cookie with the appropriate credentials. The second site wants to reuse the same credentials instead of asking the user to provide its credentials once again. The credential information can be stored in the cookie coordinator database, and the second site can look up the cookie coordinator database to check for credentials rather than challenging the user once again. This mechanism enables a single sign-on mechanism across the two domains to which two web-servers may belong.
[0076] Other embodiments employ the cookie coordination mechanism to create personalized pages for an user on the basis of the preferences or characteristics stored by the user at another site. As an example, an user may have stated that he has an interest in sports news when he created a personalized profile for the first web site. When the second web site can correlate its cookies with the cookies of the first web site, it can infer that the user is interested in sports news, and create pages incorporating sports news even though the user did not provide this information to the second web site. Thus, sharing of cookie information can lead to sharing of user preferences and other information across multiple domains.
[0077] In additional alternate embodiments of the present invention, each of the servers in different domains can maintain a private cookie at the browser; with each web server accessing the cookie coordinator when the private cookie it maintains is received by a web-server; and the cookie coordinator maps the identities contained in the cookies from different net domains to a single identity common across the multiple domains. In some cases, the single identity is stored in the private cookie maintained by the server in the domain.
[0078] In some of these additional alternate embodiments of the present invention, the embodiment may use a single identity for the users across the different domains. While each private cookie established in each domain contains a different identity, the cookie coordinator maintains a single identity which is used to correlate information from the different clients. The cookie coordinator learns the mapping of the various identities placed in each private cookie, and learns the mapping of the identities placed in the private cookie to the single identity.
[0079] An additional alternate embodiments of the present invention, includes an apparatus shown in
[0080] The present invention can be realized in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. A visualization tool according to the present invention can be realized in a centralized fashion in one computer system, or in a distributed fashion where different elements are spread across several interconnected computer systems. Any kind of computer system—or other apparatus adapted for carrying out the methods and/or functions described herein—is suitable. A typical combination of hardware and software could be a general purpose computer system with a computer program that, when being loaded and executed, controls the computer system such that it carries out the methods described herein. The present invention can also be embedded in a computer program product, which comprises all the features enabling the implementation of the methods described herein, and which—when loaded in a computer system—is able to carry out these methods.
[0081] Computer program means or computer program in the present context include any expression, in any language, code or notation, of a set of instructions intended to cause a system having an information processing capability to perform a particular function either directly or after either or both of the following conversion to another language, code or notation, and/or reproduction in a different material form.
[0082] Thus the invention includes an article of manufacture which comprises a computer usable medium having computer readable program code means embodied therein for causing a function described above. The computer readable program code means in the article of manufacture comprises computer readable program code means for causing a computer to effect the steps of a method of this invention. Similarly, the present invention may be implemented as a computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program code means embodied therein for causing a function described above. The computer readable program code means in the computer program product comprising computer readable program code means for causing a computer to effect one or more functions of this invention. Furthermore, the present invention may be implemented as a program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for causing one or more functions of this invention.
[0083] It is noted that the foregoing has outlined some of the more pertinent objects and embodiments of the present invention. This invention may be used for many applications. Thus, although the description is made for particular arrangements and methods, the intent and concept of the invention is suitable and applicable to other arrangements and applications. It will be clear to those skilled in the art that modifications to the disclosed embodiments can be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The described embodiments ought to be construed to be merely illustrative of some of the more prominent features and applications of the invention. Other beneficial results can be realized by applying the disclosed invention in a different manner or modifying the invention in ways known to those familiar with the art.

Call for papers
special issue of JMEMS
Edited by Marion Turner
Volume 46 / Number 1 / January 2016
Medical language permeated all kinds of texts in premodern Europe, including legal, literary, devotional, political, autobiographical, and philosophical writings; equally medical writings drew on a range of discursive practices, often employing ostentatiously literary narrative techniques. Many modern thinkers, most famously Susan Sontag, have written about the effect of metaphors in medical writings and about the practice of narrativizing illness. In premodern cultures, too, authors were profoundly aware of the problems inherent in trying to write about suffering and of the limitations of metaphorical language. At the same time, many writers saw opportunities in the richness, polysemy, and (sometimes) novelty of medical language and deployed it in diverse genres with subtle and complex effects. This special issue focuses on how medical discourse in premodern Europe interacted with other discourses and within different genres. Essays might explore how and why writers used the language of the medicalized body, the metaphorical or scientific depiction of particular organs in the body, the way medical language is deployed alongside other discourses, or the interplay between contemporary theorizations about medical language and premodern texts.
As a whole, the issue will demonstrate some of the ways in which current work in medieval and early modern studies has an important place in the fields of medical humanities and literature and medicine.
