Get to know 1Password Teams: Security Audit & Watchtower
You've moved over to 1Password Teams, invited your team, set up custom groups and laid out a recovery plan. Simply by using 1Password, your company is now far more secure than when you started. But how can you know your team is safe from online security breaches? Your teammates could go through their passwords one by one and make them stronger, but there's a better way: Security Audit.
Save time with Security Audit
Security Audit is a powerful and essential tool designed to help your teammates take charge of their online safety. It's available to all 1Password Teams customers.
Security Audit lives in the sidebar in the 1Password desktop apps. It highlights any passwords which are too weak or which have been reused in multiple places. When you see a password in this list, it's probably time to change it.
Because everyone in your team has his or her own unique set of passwords, Security Audit looks different for each person. By asking your teammates to review their own Security Audit every once in a while, you can ensure they stay as safe as possible online.
Keep a watchful eye on Watchtower
Watchtower tells you about security breaches on the websites you have saved in 1Password. It's included on Mac and iOS with every 1Password subscription.
Every day, Watchtower downloads a list of new vulnerabilities to your devices. It then checks this list against your logins—if any match, they're flagged by Watchtower.
When you see the red "Vulnerability Alert" banner on a password, it's definitely time to change it! Train your teammates to recognize this banner and respond appropriately.
How we use Security Audit and Watchtower
As a security company, we lead by example. It's important to us that all our staff use unique, random passwords for each one of their accounts. When new team members join, they often have bad password habits that need fixing, so for them, Security Audit is a big help. Security Audit shows them exactly which accounts need their attention. They can tackle the list a chunk at a time, or change a password when they next log in to that account.
And, of course, whenever we see the red Watchtower banner, it's all hands on deck!
Keep ahead of future problems
The overall security of your team depends on the security of each individual. It's each person's responsibility to keep their passwords strong and up-to-date. Security Audit and Watchtower help make this easy.
To get even more benefit out of these features, ask your teammates to:
- Avoid reusing passwords. Always use the password generator when they sign up for for a new account.
- Turn on item counts. Choose View menu > Show Item Counts, and you'll be able to see at a glance if Watchtower is reporting any vulnerabilities.
By the way, while Security Audit is most useful on an individual level, it also works in shared vaults. If your team has a shared vault with lots of flagged passwords, you don't need to tackle them alone. Why not get help from others? When someone changes a password in a shared vault, it will automatically update for everyone else. By making it a joint effort, you'll have stronger passwords in no time.
Next steps
Customize permissions for your team members, so they have as much or as little control as they need. With Pro, you can elect managers for vaults and groups, and allow others to recover accounts. To upgrade, sign in to 1Password.com and go to the Billing page.
If you're not using 1Password Teams, it's time to start. Sign up for a free 30-day trial, or talk our sales team at email@example.com.
The content in this article relates to 1Password for Mac. While Watchtower is available for Windows, some of the other Security Audit features mentioned here are still in development for Windows.

Civil unions, first of all, are the same "separate but equal" malarkey that was tried in the 1900's for black people. Hey, anyone remember how great that was? I have yet to hear a single legitimate secular argument against gay marriage. Saying "It's God's will" holds no more weight for this country than forcing women to cover their faces because it's "Allah's will". If you tried to propose that, you'd be laughed out of congress. See how ridiculous it seems now? If you don't like gay marriage, don't marry someone of the same sex. I don't like Pepsi, does that give me the right to ban Pepsi for everyone? No, I'm just not going to drink Pepsi. If someone drinks some Pepsi at a party where all their friends are drinking Mr. Pibb, does that somehow make their Mr. Pibb lose its flavor? No, it doesn't.
Those stating that homosexuality isn't equal to heterosexuality is equal to those that have said blacks aren't equal to whites and women aren't equal to men. Times, they are a'changin! Eventually those still clinging to these bigoted views will be seen for what they are; wheels spinning out of control, throwing mud at everyone else who is moving past them on the road to progress. A person is a person no matter how small, strait, female or white they are.
People have the right to love who they want no group of people whether its the government or a religious group have the right to take that away from them. Everyone is born into the world with a right to live happy and the government and the religious groups agree so why take away an individual's happiness because of something you feel is wrong.?
A homosexual couple is no less deserving of marriage rights than a heterosexual couple. How is a homosexual couple who both have a job, a house together, pay their taxes, and contribute to society any different from a heterosexual one? Because they can't procreate? I dare say marriage is about more than encouraging people to procreate. People can procreate without marriage, and people can opt not to procreate even within a marriage. So it's a non-factor. Other than that, there's no difference between a homosexual and a heterosexual couple. So I see no reason why they shouldn't be treated as equal.
Homosexuality is not a choice. It is not a sin. It is love between two people, who don't care what the other is. It is true love, and God would support it. It is like being born, and hating the taste of ketchup and having the government say that you can never eat anything unless it has ketchup. You can't keep saying that it's a sin and that it can't be legalized, otherwise you're just being prejudice.
In section one the fourteenth amendment of the U.S Constitution it states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." The second sentence clearly states. "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States..." <---- That is why making it illegal for same sex couples to get married, or gain no benefits of a legal marriage, is unconstitutional.
We cannot judge how others want to live their lives. If someone is gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender, they did not have a choice in becoming that. It was biologically how they were born, just like if you were born straight. I don't think we have the right to tell people that they can't be together. I also think that a lot of the arguments against same-sex marriage is based on religion even though we have a secular government so that should not play that big of a role in this decision. We have to let everyone be equal.
All of these focus on irrelevant characteristics of marriage. They all seem to either:
a) Contain a religious bias. Or:
b) Have zero to do with marriage.
Currently, there are unnatural arguments. If you'd like me to refute them, please challenge me to a debate. Until then, I am for gay marriage as a society. Although I am against marriage altogether - all kinds of marriage, I know it's never going to go away. Therefore, I'm for in context.
To see people are arguing against the first amendment and the freedoms it offers to people they don't like while completely ignoring all the freedoms this same constitutional belief allows them to have. And based around what? A very vague, and abstract belief of what an invisible man believes over what an ancient book says. You people really have some nerve to expect anyone to follow your nonsense when there is absolutely no solid proof for the credibility of the bible.
In fact, allow me to teach you a lesson on tolerance:
Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Derp Derp. Liberals love to throw that word around! Well, here's a lesson on what it is. Tolerance doesn't mean you have to approve, accept, or agree with a certain behavior, it just means you have to tolerate it. Allow me to explain.
I'm a vegetarian. In fact, I'm not just a vegetarian but I'm extremely militant on the matter of animal rights. I disagree with eating meat, I absolutely loathe eating meat, andhonestly? I think it's absolutely disgusting all the lives of animals we demean and devalue based solely around the fact that we can't get enough of eating them.
But you know what? I tolerate it. Because while I make my stance on eating meat absolutely clear, I'm not going to tell someone that they can't eat a burger. And believe me, if I were to enforce some kind of government procedure against eating meat I'd be far more justified in doing so than you are in whining against gay marriage. An ancient book said that it was wrong. Big deal! What proof do you have that this book is credible? Even if god exists, what proof do you have that it conveys his beliefs? Even more so when this book made it quite clear where it stands on slavery. Meanwhile I have to deal with the suffering of living, breathing creatures which can clearly feel pain over nothing more than self - indulgent. You see that? Even if you disagree with my militant animal rights beliefs, I'm sure it becomes quite clear how little of anything your argument has based on the notion that it clearly causes suffering over such petty, and selfish reasons.
If you swallow meat that comes at the price of the horrible slaughter of animals over such immoral reasons, then you really aren't in any place to tell two men in a consensual relationship living in a nation with the first amendment that they can't get married because of the meat that they swallow when it's absolutely harmless.
If two men deserve to have to their freedoms taking away around such vague nonsense, then I'd really hate to think of what kind of prison you deserve to be thrown in for the crimes you've never even thought twice about which you've commited against nature.
Lets just say first off that if you believe in FREEDOM than you would allow homosexuality in the US. Not allowing it would just be making more people angry. I think that reason that we don't allow it is because of the fact that some people don't like homosexuals in general because of the fact that they are religious and this is a nation UNDER GOD.
We seem to follow the rules when it's convenient. Science, biology, the Natural law represent an objective standard that gives us objective (non-subjective) reasons to reject pedophilia and incest even between consenting adults. If we agree with reasons for rejecting pedophilia and incest as provided by the objective standard, then we should agree with the reasons the objective standard provide for also rejecting homosexual behavior. For example, the human biological makeup tells us that a child (i.E., a human being that is neither physically nor mentally developed for sex) is not a logical sexual target for an adult. Similarly, based on the human biological makeup, the objective standard indicates that homosexual behavior is illegitimate sexual behavior. Considering marriage equality (or any such related laws), we should certainly not pass laws that can serve to legitimize this or any other illegitimate form of sexual behavior which some wish to "legitimize" based on emotions and polls. With possibly over billions of years to work its magic, evolution has not allowed "truth to evolve" on these relevant and objective facts.
It is probably an unconscious choice, like the majority of the states of mind. Homosexuality as an orientation is a state of mind, although unlikely, all states of minds are subject to change.
Homosexuality as a behavior is a conscious choice unless rape is involved.
Desire is not by any means a justification for an action, otherwise all crimes can be justified. Society requires and expects people to suppress harmful desires even if they find it difficult.
Biologically, homosexuality is not different from countless other paraphillas like pedophilia or bestiality. We are heterosexuals by design, everyone except hermaphrodites are either males or females. There is no way to know someone's orientation except by behavior or claiming to engage in a behavior. Homosexuality is a behavior. For homosexuality to be equal to heterosexuality, homosexuals must have their own physiology that fits their sexual activities. By definition, it is unnatural, does not function as designed. Homosexuality and all these orientations are simply unchangebly heterosexual people who identify themselves by participating or the desire to participate in deviant sexual activities.
So no, they do no deserve extra rights for a state of mind or to be rewarded for engaging in a sexual behavior. Come on, homosexuals were the source for more than 80% of AIDS diagnoses in 2011 in the US.
It's against the Bible and Humanity, in the bible there is no mention of gay marriage, and it doesn't say Adam and Steve but Adam and Eve, and later in the bible it says that marriage is between a MAN and a WOMAN. This Country was based on christian values but is now changing into an ungodly country and continent.
Homosexuality is the act of intercourse between people of the same sex. When the Bible speaks of homosexuality, its emphasis is on behavior, not condition. God loves sinners, but condemns sin. And the Bible's verdict on homosexual behavior, as with all sexual immorality, is that it is sinful. This extensive collection of Scriptures is provided as an aid for those who wish to study what the Bible says about homosexuality.
If you want to be a gay couple, move to a state that allows it such as California. Many parents don't want their young children exposed to anything too out of the ordinary. I fail to see how people will want to legalize this in states were violence will erupt such as in Mississippi. It would just be easier to offer gays to move to a state were they can live happily ever after.
I think people not being straight is caused by something that happened in their child, or that's all they have known or witnessed. Also, two people of the same sex can't have children, and that's the whole point of marriage.
Going to sex organism labs, destroys the beauty of sex.
Sure, it's a choice, and LGBT's deserve respect but marriage? Nope.
Marriage, historically and on the dictionary is:
"The formal union of a man and a woman, typically recognized by law, by which they become husband and wife." -Dictionary.Com
Nobody can change that description. Marriage is based on the fact that all human beings from conception have, in every single cell of their bodies, XX chromosomes for females or XY chromosomes for males. Nobody can change that either, and these permanent distinctions make for a permanent definition of what it means to be married, and these are the legal, social, historical and theological definition of a marriage.
Same sex couples may look in some aspects like a heterosexual couple, but they are missing aspect of why people get married: They cannot have there OWN children. They may have children, but they can't have children; in other words, a orphanage has children. That doesn't make a full mariage.
"Only the union of a woman and a man, with immutable XX and XY chromosomes in every cell of their bodies, representing the two halves of the human race, can make a marriage and produce the next generation." -Ron Crews, President, Massachusetts Family Institute
The next generation needs both a mother and a father. Notable social science studies done to date have affirmed that children do best, by whatever measure is used, when they have a married mom and dad. Depriving a child of a mother or father is cruel and unfair.
Do LGBT's deserve respect and equality? Of course, but do we need to change the definition of marriage just to make them happy? Absolutely not!
1. Gay marriage is harmful to the family structure. Growing up with a mother and father has long been proven as beneficial to the development of children.
2. A species could not possibly sustain itself with this style of marriage since homo sapiens would inevitably become extinct.
3. Homosexuality is a choice, not an inherited trait. If it were inherited, it would have ceased to exist long ago since anyone who could pass on the gene would not procreate.
Men are meant to be with women the role is simple they procreate its the natural order of things, whereas Gay and Lesbian is completely unnatural and has no purpose at all, I also believe that a lot of these relationships stem from being abused by the same sex during childhood
It is true that our government allows freedom of religion, as it should. But our nation's moral code that we make laws from is still based on biblical principles. Therefore, it can not conceivably considered that gay marriage is acceptable. If you put religion aside, our nation still states that marriage belongs to those who are fit for it. Thus we do not allow those to marry who are dangerous, abusive, commit incest, and yes in some states, homosexual. Based on science, homosexuality and incest are not biologically correct, and are even dangerous.
If someone is going to hurt or kill them self, the police are still obligated to try to save them. In the same way, gay sex or marriage has such a high rate of STD's, that we as a voting body are obligated to attempt to prolong their life, even if they do not wish for us to do so.

I didn't want my first post here to be a negative one, really I didn't, though I feel I should recount the hideous experience I've been having while trying to find my way around WordPress. I refuse to believe the fault is purely mine, (you knew I'd say that, right?), and I don't like that a computer programme makes me feel stupid, it doesn't sit well with me. I believe that technology exists to make life easier, (is this not the whole idea?), and when it results instead in frustration, extra grey hairs, weeping and grinding of teeth etc, then we must admit that there is a problem.
I had notions of this being a fairly simple process – there is a basic structure to be followed which should yield an end product. How difficult can that be, right?
I'm saving this post as a draft, so that I can publish it when I do eventually get this thing up and running, because as it is, I have a front page and a photo. I can't even work out how to get menus to work.
I think I'm in the wrong class! 😦

Letter from Darrell Palombo
Wang Vision 3D Cataract and LASIK Center, Nashville, Tennessee
Dr. Ming Wang
The Staff
Wang Vision 3D Cataract and LASIK Center
Dear Dr. Wang and Staff:
What is love? In my "view", love is confirmed through God, people, and miracles.
Today, returning from my follow-up visit for my second cataract eye surgery, I was struck by the miracle God had performed through Dr. Wang and the Staff at Wang Vision 3D Cataract and LASIK Center.
After being legally blind for a long time, I am now able to see and am experiencing daily improvement in my sight. The miracle of sight restoration is awesome to watch in others, but unbelievably joyful in ourselves. Now I can more fully appreciate the comment of the blind man whose sight Jesus restored and share with him in saying, "I once was blind, but now I see!'~
During the last several months, as I prepared for cataract surgery on both eyes, Dr. Wang and the Staff were a continuing inspiration to me as I watched them care for other patients at various stages of preparation for and follow-up of their surgeries. Even though I know that everyone at Wang Vision 3D Cataract and LASIK Center is uniquely appointed to carry out what their life purpose is, I also know that many thoughts and prayers were sent out for miracles and the care of all who came there for help.
Probably the most lasting effect of what has transpired for me so far, is a deeper understanding of what God said about sight: "Without vision my people perish." What that statement now means to me is that without being able to physically see, we miss the expression of God's creation in the beauty of people and all of creation.
Praise God for His miracle-making powers and for those He chose to use to perform His miracle of sight restoration, in this case, Dr. Wang and his Staff.
Thank you, Dr. Wang and everyone at Wang Vision 3D Cataract and LASIK Center for being who God created you to be and being most excellent in what you do.
God Bless you all,
Darrell Palombo

Obama has made it clear that he supports renewable energy and is against drilling to resolve our energy needs. However, according to Zogby, 74% of likely voters favor drilling and 59% favor drilling in ANWR. That's not 74% of Republicans, that's 74% of voters.
So, anyone who supports Obama and is for drilling, should not support Obama because this is the only issue in the country right now?
I support Obama (shocker)
And im all for drilling.
HOWEVER, im only for drilling because its the only thing i know of that can make my gas prices come down.
Since i dont know everything there is to know on this planet, like you obviously believe you do, then im willing to say "ya know what, maybe he'll be able to do something that i never thought of"
After all, he is going to be the president, and you would think he'd have access to things we never dreamed of.
So, your opinion is that "drilling" is the only answer?
My opinion is drilling is an answer, and one that i support. But if new evidence comes along that supports the notion of something else, then ill certainly give it a shot. I dont cling to the past, i look forward to the future
What will alternate energies be?
I have no idea.
I can guess.
Water powered car
Cars that run on french fry grease
Other cars that dont need gasoline
I mean, i found all of those in less than 1 minute from a google search. And since you're thinking of replying right now, with some ignorant response of "dude, cmon really, we'll be running our cars on grease, get real" :shk:
Will we all be filling up at McDonalds any time soon? No. But the technology is here for us to improve upon. It just takes someone who WANTS to do it.
Do your research next time. You make yourself look silly standing up on that stage telling us all that Obama will be the end of our country, because he's against "drilling for oil"

Personally, I think that if Obama is elected, he and the Democratic-controlled Congress are going to tell the environmentalists to jump in a lake. They will start drilling, and when prices go down, they get the credit.

About to clock out on this sunny Friday. Another week completed in our educational marathon towards summer vacation – unfortunately still very far off even though we've already had our second wind and are waiting on a third that will probably never come.
Thank goodness for air conditioning.
Next week is the speaking test, and I no longer trick myself into thinking that means a week of taking it easy for me. It means a week of staying extra late to review the audio recordings and check all of the grades and make sure I'm being fair.
A short anecdote for today:
Yesterday I left school a bit late, and our elderly security guard/janitor had just locked up the back exit. He saw me try the door, and I gestured that it was okay, I'd just go around to the front doors.
I turned the corner and heard him yelling frantically "HELLO! HELLO? HELLO!" to make me come back. I went back and he waved me over and showed me, "This. Push," electronically unlocking the door. I thanked him in Korean. It was quite hilarious and adorable. I've greeted him in passing a few times before. He has to be like 70ish years old; who knew he had a couple English words tucked away in there?

Looking for a trade show in Morocco, advice on how to write a letter to a business in Kazakhstan or information on how companies are faring in international trade?
A new national magazine based in Baltimore promises the answers.
Trade & Culture will begin quarterly publication in July and plans to become bimonthly next year. Editor and Publisher Tom Boettcher is betting that the magazine will find a niche by providing cultural insights and business tips.
"My goal is that at the end of a story, the reader won't say, 'So what?' We want them to take the next step and put the information to use," Mr. Boettcher said.

French Montana and his crew are back with the third installment of their ongoing Coke Boys mixtape series. The five-member, Bronx-based collective is joined by the likes of Rick Ross, Akon, L.E.P. Bogus Boys, Wale, and Mac Miller on the 15-track free release.
You might remember that we recently saw footage of Miller recording his guest rhymes on his tour bus studio with Montana, Chinx Drugz, and Future. It's not clear where Future's vocals will turn up, though chances are we'll hear 'em soon. You can download Coke Boys 3 below.

Brad Paisley Shares Details of Secret Afghanistan Trip
Brad Paisley is sharing a few more details about his trip with President Obama to Afghanistan over the weekend.
The singer, who flew to Bagram on Air Force One to surprise the troops for Memorial Day weekend, admits he had to make a few adjustments to his schedule in order to make the trip possible.
"The problem was that I was the headliner for the Tree Town Music Festival in Iowa," he explains (quote via Taste of Country). "So I called the booking agent and just said, 'Look, I can't really tell you why, but there's something that's very, very important to me that would really do a lot of good and I'd really love to do it.' I offered to go on earlier in the day so I could still play, and to take a huge pay cut. It's a first-year festival, and those things don't always know if they're going to make money, so in that sense it [was helpful to them]. So I performed, got on a plane to D.C. and then got on a bigger plane and flew to Afghanistan."
The 'River Bank' singer spent the long flight chatting with the crew, security, special forces and press about various topics, including the hit TV show, 'Nashville.' When they arrived at the military base, Paisley played for about 55 minutes before President Obama addressed the troops.
The West Virginia native says he spent a lot of time carefully selecting his song selection before he took the stage.
"I've got some songs like 'This Is Country Music,' which is just perfect," he says. "You know the last verse is like, "If there's anyone who still has pride for those who died defending the old red, white and blue. This is country music and we do.'"
"And I knew they'd wanna hear 'I'm Gonna Miss Her' and 'Alcohol,'" he adds. "They really wanna hear 'Alcohol' because … they're not allowed to have it."
Because the trip occurred under a cloud of secrecy, Paisley says he was in awe of how the entire mission was orchestrated.
"It was complete and total radio silence on the way over," he says. "They lifted that and then the doors [on the plane] opened. So then the clock is ticking to get out. You've got to think that that's the biggest target in the world at that point and you have to be smart about it."
Chances are good, Paisley won't have to alter his plans for any secret government missions when he performs at the Taste of Country Music Festival in Hunter, N.Y. next month. He joins an all-star line-up for the three-day event, held June 13-15, including Dierks Bentley, Thomas Rhett, Thompson Square and Craig Morgan. Tickets are available for purchase here.

The project involves the mathematical modelling of properties and performance of liquid toners used for colour printing. The research is in collaboration with UniSA's Ian Wark Research Institute(IWRI). The project centres on developing theoretical models that relate measured data to salient properties of samples such as the electrical charge on toner particles. Successful modelling will aid the design of an analytical device with the performance level of a commercial characterisation tool for studying concentrated colloidal dispersions.
The project centres on the physical and mathematical modelling of (a) the electrokinetic behaviour of concentrated particle dispersions in non-aqueous media and (b) the light scattering properties of intrinsically inhomogeneous colloidal dispersions.

Backing from Irish and Spanish leaders could lead to quick deal at Brussels summit this month, says Toby Helm
Tony Blair and fellow European leaders could reach a quick deal on the EU constitution at a summit in Brussels this month after Britain won vital support for defending vetoes over key areas of EU policy.
The new mood of optimism follows talks yesterday at Downing Street between Mr Blair and Bertie Ahern, the Irish prime minister, whose government holds the EU presidency and will chair the final summit negotiations.
Mr Blair also met Jose Luis Zapatero, the Spanish prime minister, for talks at No 10 on the constitutional treaty as Madrid indicated its willingness to compromise in a long-running row over its voting power in the Council of Ministers.
Mr Zapatero, whose country, with Poland, blocked a deal last December, said: "Our government's position is in favour of having a constitutional treaty this month."
Government insiders said last night that, with the Irish also offering strong support, Mr Blair had all but won his battles over Britain's so-called red line issues. These include defending the veto over tax, foreign policy, defence and social security and seeking guarantees to ensure that the charter of fundamental rights will not create new legal rights.
"I think we can get a quick deal which all countries should be able to proclaim as a victory," a Government source last night.
If there was a remaining obstacle, officials said, it was how to contrive a way for all countries to present the deal as acceptable to their voters.
That could be a problem for France and Germany which had given ground to Britain over the charter of fundamental rights and the veto. Government insiders said the rise in support for the United Kingdom Independence Party and arguments between it and the Tories over the EU had taken the heat off the Prime Minister over the constitution and made it easier for him to announce a deal. Labour strategists believe that the issue is now causing more damage to the Tories than to the Government.
Diplomats concede that the talks on the constitution could run into difficulties again, particularly as Poland's negotiating position remains difficult to gauge. Since the recent resignation of Leszek Miller, the prime minister, there is no functioning government in Warsaw.
Talks on the constitution broke down in December because of a row between Poland and Spain on one side and France and Germany over their respective voting rights in the enlarged EU.
In April Mr Blair promised a referendum on the constitution, having previously argued that it did not involve fundamental change.
The constitutional treaty needs to be ratified by all 25 member states before it can come into force.

The HTC Hero 'smartphone' is marketed as a phone that allows you to stay connected with people in as many different ways as possible: with web browsing, SMS, MMS, email, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google integration built in. It also works as a telephone.
It is the first HTC phone to feature the HTC Sense user interface, which HTC claim allows unparalleled customisation to make the phone 'yours'. This interface is built upon the open source Android operating system, which is fast becoming a serious challenger to Apple's iPhone in terms of ease of use and functionality.
Currently the HTC Hero supports Android V1.6 with an upgrade to Android V2.1 coming in the very near future (May 2010).
The HTC Hero has won many awards since it's release: T3 Gadget and Phone of the Year, The Stuff Awards Winner, Mobile Consumer Awards phone of the Year 2009.
This HTC Hero Review will reveal whether I think that the device lives up to the awards and praise it has gathered.
- slide 2 of 7
The HTC Hero's dimensions are 112 x 56.2 x 14.35 mm ( 4.41 x 2.21 x 0.57 inches), and it weighs in with its battery at 135 grams. It is solid without seeming unwieldy or too large or heavy.
The HTC Hero features a 3.2-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen with 320x480 HVGA resolution. It is clear and detects ambient light to brighten and soften the image so that it is nearly always readable, even in direct sunlight.
It comes in two colours: white and black. The back of the phone is a matt non-shiny material which gives you confidence when holding it that it will not slip out of your grip. I find it easy and comfortable to manipulate the hardware buttons on the casing while using the touchscreen and track ball. Use one or all three it is up to you, whatever is closest and easiest for the task at hand.
The HTC Hero is one of the few HTC phones to feature the 'chin': the small bend at the mouthpiece end of the phone to bring the microphone closer. Not everyone likes the 'chin' and certainly the newer HTC phones like the HTC Desire or the Nexus One don't have it. With the 'chin' you have to be careful when you put the Hero in your pocket, but with all phones of this size I don't think putting it in your pocket is a very good idea. I like the 'chin', it gives the phone a little more individuality and with the size of my hands it helps me to grip and manipulate the phone when in use, particularly when using the small trackball found in the centre of the 'chin'.
- slide 3 of 7
User InterfaceRating
HTC Sense is HTC's user interface built on top of the Android OS and is a joy to use. It is easy to swap Scenes (think 'theme') and change it to suit your mood. There are seven 'pages' that you can scroll between with a flick of the finger to the left and right and all your icon widgets and apps can be put in full view. If you have too many to fit you can even add folders to fine tune your organisation and ease of use. I have each 'page' dedicated to a certain activity. On the middle screen I have my email, MMS and browser apps, along with calendar, clock and alarm. My games are on a page by themselves, my music on another.
Accessing configuration and system menus is a question of a couple of button presses and a bit of scrolling and everything seems well thought out and organised in a consistent and understandable way.
HTC Sense is one of the best things about this phone. I can't imagine the Hero without the Sense.

HTC Hero Review Part 2: Features, Performance, Verdict The second part of an HTC Hero Review which discusses the phones features and performance. The Verdict decides if the HTC Hero is worthy of the technology rewards that it has received.
- slide 5 of 7
Here's a taste of some of the main features of the HTC Hero:
- Processor: Qualcomm® MSM7200A™, 528 MHz
- Operating System: Android
- Memory: 512MB ROM, 288MB RAM
- Network:
- HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz, Up to 2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds
- Network: Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
- 5.0 megapixel color camera with auto focus
- Connectivity:
- Supported Audio: MP3, AAC(AAC, AAC+, AAC-LC), AMR-NB, WAV, MIDI and Windows Media® Audio 9
- Supported Video: MPEG-4, H.263, H.264 and Windows Media® Video 9
- microSD™ memory card (SD 2.0 compatible)
- G-sensor, Digital Compass
One of the best things about this phone, and Android phones in general, is the integration with Google apps. If you use Google Mail, or Calendar you can't go wrong. It is the best implementation of Google Mail on a phone that I have seen and makes reading, writing and sending email simple and intuitive. Just what you want.
Of course, being a phone based on the Android OS, the HTC Hero has on phone access to the Android Market. Download any type of app you can think of. It still has a way to go to catch up to the iPhone AppStore but it is growing fast. My favourite app at the moment is an ebook reader where you can download classic books for free. Great for that boring bus ride.
- slide 6 of 7
The telephony part of the HTC Hero works well and I have yet to experience cut-outs or disconnections. I have had a strange echo on a couple of calls but only when on the bus.
The Hero can take quite a while to boot from off, but when booted performance is good. The software seems to be stable and robust. HTC released a firmware and HTC Sense update that improved performance and response time considerably and since then I've never felt the screens should just hurry up and scroll.
The best thing about having an Android based phone is its ability to run multiple tasks at the same time. You can run an app, back out, run another app, then when you come back to the previous app it usually starts immediately as it was already running in the background.
Be aware though that you should spend some time housekeeping your tasks, and killing off the ones that are still hanging around that you are not using but which are using up valuable phone resources. Download a Task Killer app from the Android Market and watch those resources get reclaimed.
The tech specs for the HTC Hero give between 420 and 470 minutes of talk time and between 440 and 750 hours of standby time (depending on network and usage). I've found, even with Wi-Fi switched on almost continuously that I get up to a week of phone use when I am using email, text and the odd phone call before I have to recharge. That is cut drastically if I start using the phone to listen to music.
- slide 7 of 7
If you are looking for an introduction to an HTC device running HTC Sense and the Android operating system then you can't go wrong with the Hero. The clarity and size of the touch LCD screen, the fast and easy to use Sense interface, and the wealth of connections to the internet and social media, mean that the Hero has everything you need to keep in touch.
The HTC Hero is the first smartphone I have used and was exactly what I was looking for: a phone with a large screen and a decent resolution, a phone that integrated well with Google, a phone that allowed me to browse, listen to music and develop software for it, a phone with a GPS capability, and a phone that was a direct and worthy alternative to the iPhone.
As I mentioned earlier the HTC Hero is being upgraded. Both its version of HTC Sense and Android OS will be updated soon (if not as I type) and I will be upgrading as soon as it becomes available in the UK.
The awards this phone has received are, I think, deserved.

Brazil: When disease and disaster meet the Olympics
No Olympic Games go off without a hitch, but the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil seems to be courting a hitherto unseen number of disasters. There's the microcephaly-causing Zika virus, which prompted high profile athletes such as Canadian tennis player Milos Raonic and top golfers Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth to stay home. There's the unquestionably dubious water quality in the harbour that will host sailing and swimming events. There's the athletes' village, where half the accommodations have failed to pass safety standards—and which the Australian team refused to occupy. When you add in heightened fears of global terrorism, Brazil appears to be the Olympics that luck forgot.
But how much of it is Brazil's fault? When you're running the largest sporting event in the world, how do you mitigate all the risks involved?
The hardest part of addressing risk in terms of these massive sporting events is "the sheer size and speed of delivery. There are no do-overs. There are so many moving parts," says Joanna Makomaski, president of Baldwin Global Risk Solutions Inc. and chief risk officer at Enterprise Risk Management in Toronto. She also worked as vice-president of enterprise risk management with the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games—the third largest sporting event in the world—where she was responsible for building a risk management framework.
"There are three concurrent risk assessments that need to get done going on: strategic risk assessments, project risk assessments, and operational risk assessments," Makomaski says. "When you start up an organizing committee, it's essentially a start-up [company]. You have to hire a CEO, a whole executive team. In five years you have to build a whole Olympic-sized organization and infrastructures. There's a lot of strategic risk in making that happen."
She notes issues such as employees uncomfortable with the short-term employment, cost creep, funding issues, and venue availability. Then there's the sheer number of volunteers, contractors, sponsors and employees involved–at a global sporting event, they can exceed 100,000. And risk managers can't forget all the athletes who need to be fed and accommodated, and the daunting number of tasks related to timing, scoreboard, and sport-specific set-up.
Plus, Makomaski says, the Olympics are becoming "more lavish than they used to be." Consider for a moment the 1896 Athens games, the first modern Olympics. There were 241 athletes from 14 countries participating in 43 events in nine sports. In comparison, Rio anticipates over 10,500 athletes from 207 countries competing in 306 events in 28 sports.
From her Pan Am experience, Makomaski knows how risk management efforts can be interpreted quite differently by the public imagination. For that reason, she's sympathetic and not willing to judge how Brazil is handling its own risk. Quite simply, unless you're on the inside, it's hard to know exactly what is going on. In Toronto, she says, "what was portrayed in the media was quite different from what I was perceiving. The media was talking about how we were going to have traffic doom and gloom, whereas I remember how this was just when the Boston marathon bombing had happened. That was the first time in a long time we'd seen terrorism back in the sports world."
These days, on the other hand, terrorism seems much more prevalent. "I can see, with everything going on the in the world, that [terror threats] should be something thatis highlighted in 'the bid book,' the sales pitch that goes to the [International Olympic Committee]" for cities that are vying for the next Summer Olympics, Makomaski says, adding the importance of risk management needs to be put to the fore.
"I'd like to see this sort of language right within the bid book so it can appease natural concerns of the selection committee– that there will be infrastructure and people appointed within organizational committee to make [risk management] happen."
For example, Canada geese were a huge concern at the Toronto Pan Am Games. "There were Canada geese roaming in awkward places," Makomaski says. "There were geese on the athletic track. Last thing we wanted was an 'Usain Bolt' on the track running a sub-10-second 100 metres and a goose gets in his way." So the facility used specially trained dogs to shoo them away.
"I am sure it will be great down in Rio," Makomaski says. "They have weird and wild risks—but so did we. It's about identifying them, and managing them, and making sure you have the systems in place."
The knowns and unknowns of Zika
Dr. Tom Hobman's cell biology lab at the University of Alberta is one of the few in the world that are attempting to understand how the Zika virus works, how to diagnose it quickly and cheaply (current methods take too long and require expensive equipment), and, ultimately, how to develop a treatment to prevent mother-to-child infection.
Zika's profile has been amplified as many high profile athletes have abandoned the Rio Olympics, citing concerns about the virus and potential harm to them or family members upon their return.
Zika is unique insofar as it stays in the body for much longer than similar viruses, such as West Nile or dengue fever, Hobman says. "These viruses are cleared out very quickly. Usually after a couple of weeks, the virus is gone…We're trying to figure out what the virus actually does to human brain cells and how it can stay in the male reproductive tract for months at a time."
Zika is also unique in that it's a mosquito-borne illness that can also be transmitted sexually. There have been documented cases of male-to-male, male-to-female, and now female-to-male transmission. "Up until a couple of weeks ago, no one would have thought that that was possible," Hobman says. "New things about Zika emerge on a weekly basis."
While the initial effects of Zika are mild— many who contract it don't even know they have it—about one in a thousand end up with Guillain-Barré syndrome, and muscle paralysis that can be temporary. Or permanent.
Amidst all these unknowns (and knowns!), it's not surprising that the risk of contracting Zika while in Brazil is scary.
"I don't want to trivialize anyone's concerns," says Hobman. The unknown is very scary. The birth defects are serious. The last thing an athlete wants is any type of paralysis. But it's important to remember that the risks remain very small."

Beltway Blog — "Welcome to Slovenia!"
WASHINGTON — Rep. Jared Polis had one message to his GOP opponents in the U.S. House of Representatives.
"Welcome to Slovenia!"
Polis, a Boulder Democrat, has been carting around charts that show the Standard & Poors ratings for different countries, furnished by think tank Third Way. Currently, the U.S. is rated AAA, along with Denmark, France, Canada and Hong Kong (among others.) Because of this sterling status, it enjoys lower 10-year bond rates, which affects what consumers pay for credit card and mortgage interest rates. Overall, AAA countries paid an average 2.98 percent on its 10-year bond yield.
Countries rated AA include China, Israel, Taiwan and, yes, Slovenia. As an average, they pay 3.75 precent on 10-year bond yield.
The U.S. faces a downgrade to its credit rating no matter what. Even if the debt ceiling is raised, the S&P has warned that there may be an AA downgrade, if it is only a short-term deal. (GOP House Speaker John Boehner pitched a six month debt increase, which failed in the U.S. Senate.)
"Having watched the dysfunction of Congress over the last few, the global investment community, those who loan us money, will say the last thing we need to do is put ourselves through this again in six months," Polis said on the House floor Friday. "Why are we doing this?"

From Denham Springs, Louisiana, USA:
Over the last three months, my three and a half year old son has frequently had an unexplained fever for several days with numerous test not resulting in a diagnosis. I'm at my wits end, and I am wondering if hypoglycemia could be the cause, but it doesn't look like that is the answer either. Any suggestions?
Fever without a source is a difficult diagnostic dilemma for pediatricians. Hypoglycemia would not be a common reason to explain it. I would suggest talking with your son's pediatrician and seeking consultation with a pediatric infectious disease specialist if your son continues to have problems.

F-Bar and Kitchen: Bangalore gets another place to party!
Living up to its sobriquet of pub city, Bangalore saw the opening of another lounge bar recently. The F-Bar and Kitchen located at Ali Askar Road Off Cunningham Road presents a contemporary, cutting-edge design fused with old-world heritage with a touch of a natural ambience. The 17,000 sq.ft property is built preserving folia ageing 100s of years, aiding natural light to seep into the modernistic lounge area. The lounge has a live bar that boasts as being the longest (64ft) bar in South India.
Other highlights are a 25ft high projection of cascading waterfalls on the side, an unconventional ramp strategically built to circle the property, and an exquisite fine-dining restaurant of 5-star quality. With the performance arena where in all ranges from Stand-up comedy, live jazz routines to electronic punk rock will be put up and a Ramp that will showcase Fashion shows and fashion previews, by cutting edge artists from around the globe, F-Bar and Kitchen ensures an experience that would cater to one's most fanciful imagination.
The Lounge bar will offer authentic cuisine from all over the world . From Brochetta (Spanish skewered meat)to Cassoulets (French skewed navy beans with duck confit and pork sausages), the Provencial Rack of Lamb and the Cheese Platter(assorted variants of cheese), the Menu boasts the most exotic cuisines by an international Chef. With well-stocked wine lists, 35 brands of single malt, well-trained mixologists, and the exquisitely paired wine and food, the cocktail delights have just begun.
"We have frankly discovered a void in the F&B Industry in Bangalore. There are Night Clubs, there are Lounges and there are Fine-Dining Restaurants. With F-Bar and Kitchen, we are looking at providing everything under one roof with an additional experience of grand entertainment. Bangaloreans, as a rule, appreciate good food and wine and we are excited to provide them with a service of world-class quality that they can't deny," said Satya Sinha and Arun Avadhani, the promoters F-Bar and Kitchen.

Ed Roberts, Activist
Dr. William Bronston: Ed's Impact Internationally
Dr. William Bronston: He was very clear the magnitude, the impact that he had on people. And he would talk about the magnitude of impact that he had on them. He would explain the magic trick, how it worked. You know, what he was going to do to change them. And it worked.
When he was in Japan, it was amazing because people live in worlds of such diminution, such disappearance, such oppression, such subordination, such lack of respect, such low expectations, which is... expectations are everything in terms of what you wind up becoming. So in Japan, there's a world, you know, and it's very rigid and very clear and people with disabilities have a very clear role in that world.
When he was in Australia, the same kind of a thing...
I mean, he went to places and he met with people who never in their lives, never in their families' lives, in their ancestors' lives had a breath of fresh air that essentially affirmed their status in their cultures. And it was a worldwide supportive culture. through worldwide organization. That his presence essentially affirmed, you know, validated. And the result was amazing changes.

- ITV Report
Balloon Fiesta lifts off
Thousands of people will be heading to the grounds of Ashton Court in Bristol today for the city's biggest event, the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. Now in its 34th year, the free show
is Europe's largest hot air event and the place to be for some amazing airborne spectacles.
The first of the mass ascents doesn't get underway until tomorrow morning, weather permitting but there's still plenty to see on site, not least the sight of balloon canopies inflating in glorious technicolor.
Up to 150 balloons could take off in the twice-daily lift-offs at 6 am and 6 pm until Sunday night. People get up bright and early to be sure of a good view for the morning flights while Bristol commuters can be treated to quite a show on their way home from work - depending on which way the wind blows.
One of the most popular features of the festival is its special shape balloons - remember Bertie Bassett and the Scottish Highlander? 13 of them will be on show this weekend including the George White Motorbike, the Palletways' dragon and of course Churchill the nodding dog. If you see him in the skies, he's actually the height of an office block.
The highlight for many is tonight's world-famous night glow which draws huge crowds to the site. 30 balloons are tethered in the main arena and are lit up in sequence to music. This evening there will be a special British feel to the entertainment but we'll have to wait and see what that involves.
Local brewer, Bath Ales - which is sponsoring the event, has brewed a new beer for the occasion. It's called, rather aptly, Night Glow, and will be on sale to visitors.
Of course, if you can't make tonight there's always Saturday, when the night glow is something of a party affair - festival-goers are being reminded to bring their glow sticks.
In order for everything to go smoothly, the Clifton Suspension Bridge will be closed from 6pm tonight until 2am tomorrow morning and then again from 6pm on Saturday to 2am on Sunday.

If you own a recent iPhone, you've likely used Touch ID: It's Apple's built-in privacy system for unlocking your device and authorizing Apple Pay. Here's how to set it up and use it on your Mac!
How does Touch ID work?
Touch ID is the name of Apple's fingerprint identity sensor. It's a form of biometric security that's meant to be more convenient than entering a passcode or password, especially on iPhones and iPads we use hundreds of times a day. You can register up to five fingerprints on the MacBook Pro, with a maximum of three fingerprints per user account.
Once you add your fingerprint to your MacBook Pro, you'll be able to do the following:
- Wake and log in to your user account from sleep (you'll have to sign in with your password on first boot)
- Switch between users from sleep, if they each have separate fingerprints saved
- Use Apple Pay on the Mac
- Authorize purchases from the iTunes, iOS App Store, or Mac App Store
How to set up and manage Touch ID on your Mac
You'll be asked to register a fingerprint for Touch ID as part of the 2016 MacBook Pro set up process. You can register additional fingerprints at any time, though. You can have up to three fingerprints per user account on your Mac, five in total across accounts. Those fingerprints are then encrypted and stored offline in the MacBook Pro's Secure Enclave.
How to add your fingerprint
- Go to the menu and select System Preferences.
- Select the Touch ID preference pane.
- Click on Add a fingerprint.
- Enter your user password.
How to name a fingerprint
- Go to the menu and select System Preferences.
- Select the Touch ID preference pane.
- Press the Tab key to cycle through each fingerprint option, or click directly on the name of the fingerprint.
- Rename your fingerprint.
- Press the Return key.
How to delete a fingerprint
- Go to the menu and select System Preferences.
- Select the Touch ID preference pane.
- Hover over the fingerprint icon you wish to delete until you see the X in the upper left corner, then click on it.
- Enter your password.
- Press Delete to confirm.
How to change your Touch ID settings
After you've set up your fingerprints, you can choose what you'd like to use those fingerprints to authorize. By default, all three options are checked, but you can manually change this by unchecking the box next to each option.
- Go to the menu and select System Preferences.
- Select the Touch ID preference pane.
- Check or uncheck the options you prefer.
The "Use Touch ID for" options include:
- Unlocking your Mac
- Apple Pay
- iTunes & App Store
How to use Touch ID on your MacBook Pro
As with Touch ID on the iPhone and iPad, when you first boot up your Mac, you have to use your password when you log in. After that first login, however, you're free to use Touch ID whenever waking your MacBook Pro from sleep, switching users, authorizing store purchases, or via Apple Pay.
How to log in with Touch ID
- Open your closed MacBook Pro (or press the Touch ID button).
- Rest your finger on the Touch ID sensor.
How to switch users with Touch ID
If you have multiple user accounts on your MacBook Pro, you can register different fingerprints with each; once each account has been logged in once after initial boot, you can immediately return to that account by using the Touch ID sensor.
- Open your closed MacBook Pro (or press the Touch ID button).
- Rest your finger on the Touch ID sensor.
How to use Touch ID to authorize App Store and iTunes purchases
Although the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar supports Touch ID authorization of both App Store and iTunes purchases, setting it up can be a bit of a process. Here's how to get Touch ID working with each app.
How to use Touch ID with Apple Pay
If you do a lot of online shopping on your Mac, Apple Pay lets you authorize payments made on your Mac via the Touch ID sensor on your MacBook Pro or iPhone, or via Apple Watch — as such, you can say sayonara to typing your credit card information into every site that needs it.
How to reboot your MacBook Pro
Touch ID replaces the old power button on the MacBook Pro but it can serve the same purpose as times. For example, to power on your MacBook Pro, you push the Touch ID button. Same when you want to reset your MacBook Pro. That can come in handy if the display won't show what's on screen or if the keyboard or cursor are frozen, or if the entire system becomes non-responsive.
- Press and hold down the Touch ID button.
- Keep holding it until you see the boot up screen.
How to reset your Touch ID data
If for some reason, your Touch ID stops working and even after you delete your fingerprint, you keep getting a prompt that your fingerprint limit is reached, you may have to reset your Touch Bar to erase any current Touch ID registrations at the root level. Here's how.
- Restart your Mac and hold down Command+R while it's rebooting to enter Recovery Mode
- Launch Terminal.
Enter the following:
xartutil --erase-all
- Press Return.
- Type Yes when prompted to confirm.
- Press Enter.
- Quit Terminal.
- Restart your Mac in normal mode.

Washington, 27 July:
Italy could take 20 years for employment to return to the levels seen before its worst post-war recession, unless it achieves strong economic growth, the International Monetary Fund said on Monday.
"It will take Spain 10 years and Portugal and Italy almost 20 years to reduce the unemployment rate to pre-crisis levels," the IMF said in a report on the Eurozone.
Italian joblessness currently stands at 12.4 percent, lower than the 13 percent peak seen last year but has almost doubled since the start of the global economic crisis in 2008.
Unemployment levels are set to stay high in the whole eurozone for some time to come, the IMF said.
The IMF urged Italy to push ahead with reforms of its civil service, legal system and jobs market, and to increase competition in the service sector and public tenders.
Italy exited a three-year-long recession in the first quarter of the year when its economy expanded 0.3 percent but it is forecast to grow just 0.7 percent this year and by 1.4-1.5 percent in 2016.
The economy has shrunk by a tenth compared with 2007. (IANS)

Put your ear to the ground. Do you hear that? There's an unspeakable menace coming, barreling toward your happy home like a slavering horde of barbarian savages!But those savages don't want you. No, they want your children - they want nothing less than to feast on the sweet, tender flesh of your progeny while you helplessly watch. And trust me, this threat cannot be bargained with. It cannot be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity or remorse. And if you don't take the drastic and immediate steps I tell you to, your entire way of life will be destroyed! What is this fiendish, soul-crushing instrument of total annihilation? Marijuana! Arm yourselves! Hide your daughters! Sex-crazed pot fiends and their depraved, sinful, jazz music are coming!Trust me, that's only half as melodramatic as the opening crawl for Reefer Madness (originally and way less awesomely called "Tell Your Children"), one of the best fear-mongering right wing indoctrination pieces you'll ever live to see. It's the work of a long forgotten church group, one determined to keep dope out of the hands of children. That's not a bad thing, of course. The problem is that like most propaganda, it was made by people with little concern for realism.
