Over the last couple of years, the prevalence of hackers intruding on internet users' privacy has dramatically increased. From celebrities to presidential candidates to regular households, few individuals have not had their privacy intruded on in the last few years.
Since most computer users transfer highly important personal data with general internet use, using a VPN to safeguard personal data has become key to maintaining internet privacy.
What is a VPN?
virtual private network (VPN) is a technology used to set up a private network over the internet and create a secured connection between your computer and one of the many servers around the world. This mode of internet connection automatically hide your computer's IP address and your real location.
It helps maintain internet privacy by creating a private and controlled network between the user and the rest of the internet. The connection between the user and the internet is encrypted instead of unencrypted as it would be if the user only connects to the internet through an ISP. The user also appears to be located where the virtual private network server is located instead of the user's actual location.
Anyone trying to eavesdrop on the connection should only see a repeated connection between the user and the virtual private network and not be able to determine what information is contained in the traffic. Most of them do not keep logs of internet traffic unlike an ISP, so determining internet usage of a user would usually be very difficult.
How does a VPN work?
In order to use a virtual private network, the user will first need to be connected to the internet. The user will need to select a VPN service and generally obtain a username and a password.
There are both paid and free services. There are a lot more features with paid services, and many of the free services limit bandwidth and usage. If a user selects a paid service, it is a good idea to pay through a more private method such as Bitcoin.
Once you have selected a VPN, many of the VPN companies offer a downloadable program to connect to their VPN. Downloading a program can create other security risks, so there are other ways to connect without software such as L2TP or PPTP. Many companies will give instructions on how to connect to their particular network.
Many VPN companies also provide the ability to connect to a network through a mobile phone; generally, VPN companies will provide additional instructions on how to connect a mobile phone to the internet through a VPN.
VPN companies generally offer the ability to connect by mobile phone through either an app or through a non-downloadable connection method such L2TP or PPTP.
There are some uses of the internet that can make a user of particular interest to eavesdrop. If a user is using any sort of torrent system be it for legitimate or illegitimate purposes, the user should be very careful with a VPN.
If a user is interested in learning more about torrents, here is one of the best places to find torrents. If a user plans to reach any controversial website, using a VPN is an excellent idea. One additional recommendation is to research the VPN company selected for use to make sure the VPN company respects internet privacy.

Ulthane is also known as "The Black Hammer" and is an excellent weapons crafter, a very powerful member of the Maker species, and is one of the "Old Ones." He aided War in the first Darksiders by giving War 2 weapons, one being a powerful pistol that is a combination-revolver pistol and shotgun known as Mercy was (in the Darksiders universe) wielded by Strife (AKA Pestilence). The other weapon being the Armaggedon Blade, which was used by Abaddon (The Destroyer) to destroy 6 of the 7 seals, triggering the End-War without summoning The 4 Horseman, except War, of course.

Driving from Jerusalem today to the near by village of Abu Gosh, I was greeted by a site that never ceases to break my heart. As I pulled up to a stop light, I came across the young Arab boys trying to pick up change from the cars waiting for the light. They usually are 'selling' chicklets in small packages, or they have sponges or rags and a bucket of water and start washing your windshield and windows - whether you want them to or not.
It makes me so sad. One of these boys, I have watched for many years. He's always in one of two places near the apartment where I stay. I've watched him grow up.
I wonder (and worry about) what will happen to these kids. What are they learning about life and themselves from their endeavors? In most all cases, parents are requiring the children to do this. The families are so poor and destitute that it is literally a source of income for them. The kids don't have a choice in the matter.
I've seen the same thing in other places I've traveled. In India, there are large numbers of begging children. Parents sometimes cripple or maim their children because it will make passers by more sympathetic and more likely to give money to the child. It is so very heartbreaking.
I've traveled with groups before where well meaning tourists will bring candy, pens and other trinkets to give to begging children. Sometimes tourists getting off of buses are literally mobbed by throngs of begging children. In some places the children can get very aggressive when groups of tourists arrive, because they have been 'trained' to know that tourists often bring things like this to give to kids.
One of the more offensive manifestations of this is when people throw handfuls of this type of stuff into a mass of kids. The kids begin to fight and claw to get theirs. It's a humiliating and dehumanizing experience.
I know that people are trying to be kind and help when they do this, but here is a suggestion. I worked with a tour company in Egypt one time where a certain amount of the tour price was donated by the Egyptian tour operator to schools and local social service organizations in the nearby villages. The tour operator actually told us that the best way to 'help' these kids is not to give directly to them (so as to encourage begging), but to give to these organizations so that the aid can be distributed where it will most help, and be delivered in a dignified manner. He even offered to facilitate this for anyone who wanted to make a donation above and beyond what was already included in their tour package price.
I loved this idea. First off, I truly dislike 'conditioning' kids to believe that their only value is to beg and ask for charity. Think of the damage to their little spirits that happens day after day when that is their activity or vocation. It is demeaning and belittling.
Giving to locally run aid organizations is a way to really help the kids (with food and school supplies) that will make a difference in their lives. It's a much better way to go about it.
If you will be traveling somewhere and want to take things for the impoverished children in that region, do a little research (either through your tour company or on your own) and find out the best way to give. It isn't as hard as it may seem, and you'll not only make a positive difference, you will also not inadvertently perpetuate the problem.
All children deserve love, respect and dignity. All children... everywhere.

The Tragedy of Begging Children

Last March, cellist Helen Gillet convened some of the most talented voices in creative music working in and around New Orleans today to record her Tephra Sound project. They arguably ended up making the perfect springtime record. With its buzz of vibrant energy, creative use of rhythm and bounty of quirky surprises, this is definitely music in bloom.
Technically, Tephra Sound is Gillet plus drummer Nikki Glaspie, Jessica Lurie on sax and flute and Brian Haas on piano. Here, the quartet's already kinetic interactions get an extra spark courtesy of Rex Gregory on sousaphone, flute and melodica, Weedie Braimah on djembe and Annie Ellicott on vocals. Throw in effects, loops, a "vintage" '90s toy and engineer Andrew "Goat" Gilchrist's careful maintenance of the intimacy afforded by recording in someone's home and the result feels more like an improvisational orchestra than a quartet plus special guests.
As the disc gets rolling, the first highlight comes in the form of "Valles Caldera," which plays out more like a suite in some ways than the "Elden Suite," comprised of three short tracks just over one minute each. The title is an apparent reference to a national park whose footprint was created by a volcanic eruption, which is in turn a nod to the group's name (a volcanic eruption creates "fragmental material" called "tephra"). Using her "megamouth" toy, Gillet lays down an addictive, borderline EDM beat that serves as an unorthodox base for what becomes a gorgeous exercise in accessible, avant-garde sound. The band's collective sense of rhythm propels the tune; if a horn line veers out into free jazz territory, that resolute toy beat lures it back in. After a mid-song vibe change, Gillet's bowing adds a new layer of complexity to what's happening before the instruments grow quiet, leaving only the beat sample to fade out.
Other tracks showcase a more chamber jazz–ready feel, like the hushed "Capulin," while the explosive "Krakatoa" transforms from the serenity of Gillet's cello loops to an intense catharsis of sound. "Piton de la Fournaise" brings the album to an extended finish with another would-be suite that seems to tell a story of energy building, rising and erupting into a wall of effects before simmering into an elegant, faded close.
With so many paths for the listener to follow, each spin of the disc opens up a new set of possibilities. It's a feast of an album.

A Very Bland, Uninspiring Kart Racer
Slow, lethargic and emotionless, Nickelodeon Kart Racers is not a very good racing game. Frustratingly, the game has potential but feels slapped together with little thought, hindered by questionable design choices and really dated mechanics. All of this is typified by a handful of kart racers and some uninspired tracks making it a really disappointing kart rather.
Most of the game follows the same standard structure as other kart racers and in particular, Mario Kart. The menu, accompanied by its poor quality audio, is broken up into Solo Play, Multiplayer and the Shop. Solo and Multiplayer is broken up into Grand Prix (a series of races where you gain points depending on where you finish) and free race. Most of these modes draw inspiration from Mario Kart, right down to the general layout and way the game plays.
The lack of variety with the racers is a bit disappointing
There are other game modes here too; a host of mini-games available in the multiplayer Battle Arena. These range from Tag to Capture The Flag but most follow the same conventional pattern and take place in an uninspiring circular arena.
You accelerate your kart with R2, brake and reverse with O while power ups collected in the levels can be activated with a tap of X. Mixing things up is the inclusion of slime which you can drive over to gain a speed boost, activated through pressing Triangle. It's a simplistic control scheme and has the potential to be really fun but the lethargic pace and sluggish handling make the game more of a chore than it should be.
Driving over slime mixes things up by allowing for speed boosts
The tracks themselves are generally uninspired, drawing inspiration from some of the Nickelodeon racers featured but failing to really stand out as fun or interesting. Most of the tracks feature the same stock buildings and obstacles with slime puddles added to mix things up. While racing, running over treasure chests opens up the ability for different power ups, with most relying on the tried and tested formula of projectiles, speed boosts and shields to block attacks. There's also coins you can collect while racing too, and these can be exchanged in the shop.
The shop itself features a whole range of upgrades but to collect everything requires a real dedication to the game and a lot of grinding. Thankfully, there's no micro-transactions in sight but it's unlikely you'll stick around for the long term with this game to unlock everything.
The use of colour and the general visual design of the game is at times really bad
Graphically, the game looks ugly. Really ugly. The draw distance is small, the track layout bland and at times the colours are so jarring and discordant it makes racing round the tracks less fun than it should be. Even the menus look bad, falling back on the old school look of simple colours and a stock background image. This is made all the worse that the old Nicktoons Racing actually plays better than this game, and that game was poor.
Those expecting a whole host of characters from their beloved franchises will almost certainly be disappointed. Nickelodeon Kart Racer's character list is poor, to say the least. There's 12 different racers – 4 of which for the different Ninja Turtles. It's actually pretty depressing too when you look at the list of Nickelodeon shows over the years and some of the characters they've missed out. These include Kim Possible, Catdog, Animaniacs, Doug, Fairly Odd Parents, Peppa Pig and even PAW Patrol. The one show that actually heavily features cars and racing. Even if these were unlocked along the way it would add to the allure of the game but if this is supposed to celebrate Nickelodeon's contribution to cartoons over the years, it doesn't do a very good job of it.
Handling and the control scheme is sluggish at best and handles really poorly
To top it all off, the achievements in the game don't stack meaning you need to complete every single race in easy, medium and expert mode if you want to 100% Nickelodeon Kart Racers. This only further typifies the lack of polish and thought put into crafting this title.
While I appreciate this kart racer is designed for kids, the frustrating gameplay and sluggish control scheme make it far more troublesome to play than it should be. Even for kids (and I have two to test this with). Visually, the game looks ugly and the pitiful selection of characters really limits the replayability of the game. With friends, the overall appeal is improved somewhat but with so many other options out there, including Mario Kart itself, Nickelodeon Kart Racers is a disappointing cash grab, one that doesn't deserve the asking price of £24.99 and should be avoided.

"Looking Up" came to life by pure circumstance. When battling depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), it is easy to find yourself hiding in a dark corner and avoiding anything that could trigger you into a deeper chasm of despair. I had been hitting this wall of depression over and over again and would often times find myself throwing my head back in frustration (typically blinking back tears) and looking up at the ceiling for some sort of light at the end of the tunnel. Eventually I started visualizing this small section of space as photos, and in turn started photographing my way through each moment. "Looking Up" depends on highly formal, balanced elements of composition. It abstracts light sources, shadows, etc. and turns them into something to look up towards… something positive. A light at the end of the tunnel.

George Clews & Co Pottery: Snippet Of The Day Number 5
Not many people will probably have heard of the Staffordshire based George Clews & Co Pottery, unless you are a collector of teapots or their studio art pottery Chameleon Ware. In which case, you will be a connoisseur of their beautiful and innovative designs!
The earthenware manufacturer was established in 1906 at the Progressive Works in Burslem, prior to moving to Brownhills Pottery in Tunstall. Although the firm was called George Clews, it was actually managed by his son, Percy. Teapots were the mainstay of production at the pottery. Manufacture even continued during World War 2 (WW2).
Clews produced teapots, and accessories, for domestic use, hotels and ocean liners. Along with several other manufacturers, including Johnson (original designer and owner of the Cube Teapots Ltd). They produced the 'cube' teapots for the iconic Cunard Ocean liners, Queen Mary (1936) and Queen Elizabeth (1946). These cleverly designed teapots were cube shaped to prevent them rolling around in rough seas. You can find a tea set at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, UK.
Their back mark comprised a printed globe mark with the name of the pattern or the company on the central band. You can barely make out the back mark on the left hand image below. This is not to be confused with the fairly similar back mark used by Arthur Wood: right image.
Chameleon Ware was introduced as a trade name in 1906 but studio art pottery wasn't introduced until 1913. Initially the back mark was impressed with the name Chameleon before moving to a printed mark in 1935.
The handpainted Chameleon ware reached the height of its popularity during the 1930s Art Deco period when production exceeded that of the teapots! Abstract shapes and patterns; Egyptian and Persian inspired shapes were all the rage, and produced in matt or lustre glazes. Animal figurines were also produced in the range using the same, predominantly green/ blue/ brown, colour palette as the art pottery.
WW2 brought an end to the manufacture of Chameleon Ware and, despite modernisation of the factory in the late 1940s, the business eventually went into liquidation in 1961.

19:00 –20:30- "Controversy Detection and Analysis"- Shiri Dori-Hacohen, founder of AuCoDe
Seeking information on a controversial topic is often a complex task. Alerting users about controversial search results can encourage critical literacy, promote healthy civic discourse and counteract the "filter bubble" effect, and therefore would be a useful feature in a search engine or browser extension. Additionally, presenting information to the user about the different stances or sides of the debate can help her navigate the landscape of search results beyond a simple "list of 10 links". Our existing work has made strides in the emerging niche of controversy detection and analysis. In our work, we've made a few conceptual and technical contributions, including: (1) Improving the current state-of-the-art controversy detection in Wikipedia by employing a stacked model using a combination of link structure and similarity; and (2) the first automated approach to detecting controversy on the web, using a KNN classifier that maps from the web to similar Wikipedia articles. We also propose further work to create a computational definition of controversy. I also recently founded a startup aiming to bring this research & technology to practical uses. This talk will largely focus on contribution (1) above, and touch on the other aspects briefly as time allows.
Shiri Dori-Hacohen is a PhD Candidate in Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, working in the Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval (CIIR) under the supervision of Prof. James Allan. Her research focuses on automated controversy detection from an Information Retrieval perspective. Shiri is also the founder of a new startup aiming to bring this research to market.
Previously, Shiri was at the University of California, San Diego, and her industry experience in the tech industry includes Facebook, Google, and IBM Research. She received her MSc and BSc (cum laude) at the University of Haifa in Israel as well as an MS from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is the recipient of several prestigious awards, including the 2011 Google Lime Scholarship, and recently won first place in the Innovation Challenge, a startup competition held by the UMass Berthiaume Center for Entrepreneurship.

Broadcast Library: http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/work-of-assembly/broadcast-chamber/archive?file=20130430_144846
Queensland Parliament Hansard Green
SUBJECT: (no subject found)
MEMBER: Mr KATTER
Mr KATTER (Mount Isa—KAP) (2.48 pm): I rise to speak to the House on the Queensland Rail Transit Authority Bill 2013. I will brush aside many of the minor concerns that were raised in the committee process that have already been discussed in the House. To cut to the chase, the big issue that I face in the area I represent is privatisation of services and assets and the poor outcomes that this can deliver to the state of Queensland. The north-west minerals provinceOK is a highly enriched minerals zone with many opportunities for mining and agriculture, and it has been serviced by a rail line for almost 90 years. It has been handled by the government throughout that time and it has provided a base and a platform on which many industries have flourished and developed in that area. It has provided freight, livestock and transport of minerals, and the state has been built on that.
We are a lot smarter now and we believe that there are better ways to do things. There is an obsession with privatising services and there is a belief that that makes everything more efficient and makes things run better, but that contrasts greatly with stories that I am told and with my experience of Queensland Rail on the great northern line. I believe that a focus of this bill is tying rail in with the port. We must accept that some of these possibilities will become realities. In terms of privatisation, if it looks like a fish and smells like a fish then usually it is a fish. Undoubtedly we can expect a push to privatise these services.
I will just relay some anecdotes by way of example. Last year I had in my office some rail employees who had lost their jobs. They serviced the carriages in Mount Isa. They were being replaced by contractors who came in on an ad hoc basis and in times of emergencies. When you talk through the issue you realise that there are a lot of intangible benefits that are not captured in the balance sheet that will be missed: having somebody there on 24 hours notice who knows the track, knows the carriages and knows where the problems are. People who operate on the ground pick this up and know it instinctively. It is very difficult to get that in a report, but it becomes obvious if you talk to these people on the ground. There is an insatiable appetite to off-load these things to private industry, which has delivered many failures in Australia's history, for instance the Melbourne rail system. And if we go offshore we can look at the New Zealand rail system. Privatisation is clearly not always the best option.
I note other examples in the north-west region of contractors being brought out from Townsville. It is not always the same team of contractors, so they do not know the area, they do not know where the gravel pits are and they do not have the local knowledge. The jobs become a lot more expensive, but perhaps their pay rate is a bit lower or the contract is a bit cheaper. That is great in the short term, but the long-term effect is that you have a degrading asset. It is potentially not rebuilt, or was not built in the first place, to the best of standards. These things are very intangible, but one thing the government can do when it has full control is provide an efficient service. It will not be able to when it is off-loaded to private industry.
I am very determined to get to the bottom of the severe issues along that great northern rail line. It is a degraded asset. It has been degraded for the last 20 or 30 years. Trains travelling along that line which should be running at 80 kilometres an hour, as per national standards, are running at 30 to 40 kilometres an hour. From the Queensland taxpayer's point of view, I just do not see that fobbing this off and handing it over to private enterprise is necessarily the answer. This is a critical asset that needs to be very closely watched.
The endgame here is to provide an efficient rail service, not to have an affordable rail service. Infinitely more important is that this critical asset is run as efficiently as possible to service all of the different industries along the line, not just the mining industry. It may cost the taxpayer more to provide that service, but the emphasis must be on providing a good service. I do not believe that privatisation is the way to go. There are many examples of failure when the emphasis has been on making a dollar and not on providing a service. You can write in as many community service obligations as you like, but there will always be a propensity for private industry to focus on making a profit on their balance sheet rather than on providing a service to people or industry.
The failures in the market since the service was corporatised are now clear to everyone trying to run a business in that area. If you are not one of the big mining companies out there—if you are a junior miner or you have livestock or freight—it is very difficult to get onto that line now. I know of one mine in particular that employs 400 or 500 people. They are now trucking their ore to the coast along the road, which is already overburdened, for $150 a tonne when they used to be able to get it on the rail for $40 or $50 a tonne. But because the trains are travelling at only 30 or 40 kilometres an hour, not 80 kilometres an hour, the rail does not have the capacity. This mine is now very marginal and it should have access to rail.
People may ask why rail is not running at capacity. I venture to suggest that it has something to do with the demise of the fettlers and other workers who used to maintain the line to a high standard such that there were no slow-down zones, as there are now. Those people disappeared. It started under the Goss government and it is continuing under this government. People think it has to be all about efficiency and cost cutting, but that should never be the focus. The focus should be on providing an efficient rail line that is adequately serviced and provides utility to industry for them to get their produce to the port.
Just flogging things off to private industry that we can blame or hand responsibility over to is definitely not the way to go. It has proved to be a failure in the past. That intention in the bill is very relevant to our area. It is a very great threat to industry, particularly in my electorate but also across the state of Queensland. On that basis I have serious concerns with the legislation and will oppose the bill.


text: Outside Lands Day 1 Will Van Dalsem August 6, 2016 Music 674 Tweet Share Share Email WhatsAppShares 0I've just returned to my hotel in San Francisco after Outside Lands Day 1. And it was truly a great day of music all around. These are my unfiltered, biased reactions to my favorite performances of Friday. I started off the day serenaded with the soulful indie pop stylings of Whitney. They sounded like a more radio-friendly Alabama Shakes. Electro art-pop group Marian Hill followed and was unconvincingly sensual and kinda bland. Funk rock group Vulfpeck was next, and possibly the highlight of the day (sorry LCD Soundsystem, I still love you). These guys proved that white boys have soul. They were enthusiastic, engaging, hilarious, and above all, extremely prolific musicians. Shoutout to the bassist who, in a festival in which Les Claypool performed, was the gnarliest bassist of the day. Speaking of Claypool, the Primus frontman united on stage with Sean Lennon (son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono) to form The Claypool Lennon Delirium. The duo put on a mind-bending fifty minute set of funky, progressive psych rock magic, and the union was truly a marriage made in heaven. Next up was Canadian art pop singer Grimes. I was in the way back of the crowd for this performance, so the music was kinda hard to hear at times. But judging simply by her stage performance, Grimes was incredible. Despite appearing tiny and childlike, she commanded my attention with sugary pop-star charm and demonic wailing alike. And finally LCD Soundsystem. I mean, what can I say? They were amazing. Go see them. That's all I've got. Two more days left. More updates to come.

It is a excellent concept to revisit some of your large school biology and find out the ins and outs of the menstrual cycle, ovulation and in the end conceiving.
A feminine is born with just underneath 50 percent a million eggs presently stored inside of her ovaries. During puberty, commonly amongst the ages of 10 and fourteen, a female will start off her intervals. Just about every month, a ripened egg is unveiled from the ovary. The egg travels together the fallopian tube to the uterus/womb. If the egg has grow to be fertilized by a sperm inside the fallopian tube, it will embed alone within the uterus lining, and hence being pregnant begins. If the egg does not turn into fertilized, it will be flushed out, with each other with the uterus lining, which is when you have your menstrual bleed. Your time period marks the commencing of the following cycle.
Normally, this cycle lasts close to 28 times, give or acquire a couple of times. The time frame in which you can really fall pregnant, or your fertile window, lasts only 5 or 6 days. This is the time top up to and which includes ovulation, the place the egg is introduced and travels along the fallopian tube. The lifespan of the egg following ovulation is only 12–24 several hours, so it has to be fertilized within this time body, and the lifespan of the sperm is five days. It is these lifecycles that ascertain the fertile window interval of 6 times.
The day of ovulation, and the two times previous it, offer you the very best possibilities of slipping expecting. But how do you know when you are likely to ovulate, and therefore system to drop expecting? Ovulation typically occurs involving twelve and 16 times in advance of your next time period starts off. You must genuinely get to know your entire body and learn your cycle, as you will want to have intercourse inside of with fertile window, if possible at the time of ovulation. Get started by performing out what the duration of your cycle is—day one particular of the cycle begins on the 1st day of your menstrual bleed, and the past day is the day ahead of your next period of time begins. If you typical a cycle of 28 times, you can guesstimate that you will ovulate all over day fourteen of the cycle. Make use of our ovulation calculator at www.conceiveplus.com/ovulation-calculator to preserve keep track of of your cycle and get the job done out when your fertile window is probably to be.
Certainly every lady is distinct, and also a woman's cycle may possibly fluctuate sometimes. This can make it fairly tough to figure out when the fertile window is every thirty day period. All over again, learning and looking through the signals from your overall body can assist. Beneath is a checklist of signs to seem out for just about every thirty day period:
- Cervical mucus: a modify in cervical mucus can indicate when you are fertile. When it becomes very clear and stretchy yet slippery, comparable to raw egg white, it's a sign that you are near to ovulation.

THERE'S BEEN A lot of chatter in recent weeks about a group called 'incels'.
What is an incel, you ask? Incels – short for 'involuntary celibate' – are (usually male) members of an online community who define themselves as being unable to find a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one.
However, some harbour more sinister views, advocating for rape to be legalised and the use of violence against women.
Ok, grim, why are they in the news?
Last month, a man killed 10 people by plowing a van through a busy sidewalk in Toronto. In a Facebook post just before the attack, he identified himself as an "incel."
Alek Minassian announced that "the Incel Rebellion has already begun," and praised another self-identified incel: Elliot Rodger, who killed six and wounded 13 in a shooting spree in Isla Vista, California, in 2014.
Like Rodger, Minassian seemed to blame his violent act on sexual rejection by women, linking himself to the misogynistic culture of "incels," that has sprung up online.
In response to incidents like this, Ross Douthat wrote a column in the New York Times suggesting that the "unhappiness of incels" might eventually lead to a public debate on the distribution of sex. Naturally, this didn't bode over well with the general population of the internet.
How did the movement start?
Politco reports that the word originates from a web site founded in the 1990s by a woman called Alana, titled: "Alana's Involuntary Celibacy Project." There, incel was originally defined as, "someone who is unable to initiate or sustain an intimate relationship, s/he has the desire to experience such a relation, and there are no external circumstances preventing such a relation".
On coining the term, Alana told Politico: "The concept of being a lonely virgin is not a nice identity.
Finding a more friendly term helped people say, 'Hey, I belong to a group. I'm not alone.' And by belonging to a group, people can help each other."
Alana eventually moved on from the site, and has seen the term hijacked by aforementioned groups, with offshoot groups forming. In response, she set up Love Not Anger, "a project to research how lonely people might find respectful love, instead of being stuck in anger".
Fundamentally, incels believe that sex is a right.
It, however, is not. Similar to the concept of the 'friendzone' (not a thing, btw), you do not owe anyone anything for meeting the lowest bar set for humans – being nice. You cannot justify hatred for a group of people based on sexual rejection. People should be expected to play 'devil's advocate' to a group that views sex as income.
What should I take away from this?
It goes without saying buuuuuuuuuuut:
- You do not owe anyone anything, especially not when it comes to sex.
- You should not be made feel bad for turning someone down if you are not interested in them.
- Have conversations with your friends – especially your male ones – about these attitudes. See if they understand how toxic these views are at their core.

Marianne and Thomas Robinson spent much of their 30s living the good
life in Ottawa. Marianne made
good money as a massage therapist; Thomas prospered
as a graphic designer. Money was abundant and the Robinsons
enjoyed nice vacations and frequent shopping expeditions.
Then the couple (we've altered their names and some personal
details) moved to Vancouver in search of a West Coast lifestyle
and mild climate. They had bargained on a slow period as they
established themselves in a new locale, but as the months shuffled
onward, customers failed to appear and they grew nervous. The
birth of their daughter Lydia filled them with joy, but also with
frustration. How would they pay for the added expenses of a child?
How could they find time to care for Lydia and simultaneously
grow their businesses? With incomes languishing, the Robinsons
resorted to living off their credit cards. Marianne, now 38, and
Thomas, 43, soon owed $40,000. They felt angry and desperate.
They wondered if they might need to declare bankruptcy. "It
a struggle," recalls Marianne. "When
you're in that situation it
seems like there's no light at the end of the
Sound familiar? Many of us feel just as left behind as the Robinsons.
We figure that by our mid-30s we'll be well on the road to
financial success and by our mid-50s we'll be rolling in
But reality is not nearly so generous. The median net worth of a
Canadian household headed by somebody under 35 is less than
$30,000 — barely enough to buy a minivan. By the time you hit
you're doing better than average if you've paid off
your house and
accumulated more than $65,000 in RRSP savings.
It doesn't require much of a setback to derail your progress
toward even those modest achievements. At 40, the struggle to
simultaneously establish a career, start a family and buy a home
can defeat even well-intentioned, well-educated couples such as the
Robinsons. At 50, a job loss or a marriage break-up can wipe out a
couple of decades of savings. At 60, an underperforming stock
portfolio or a simple lack of savings can make retirement look like a
disaster. That leaves many of us asking, "How can I catch
To get an answer to that question, we've quizzed financial
and money experts across Canada. Our key finding? No matter
what age you are, there are plenty of tactics you can use to help you
achieve financial success and a happy retirement. "Where
commitment, there's lots of hope," says Nancy
Zimmerman, a money
coach in Vancouver, who helped Marianne and Thomas Robinson
with their catch-up strategy. Read on to find out how you, too, can
put your financial progress on fast forward.

The AppData.exe page is up.
Why Facebook?
I created a Facebook page years back, primarily to share photos with the happy grandparents and extended family and friends. I post there occasionally (mainly if I'm motivated and it's push-button easy from whatever I'm reading or want to share), but I visit semi-haphazardly. This blog is more of a long-term archive of things I'd like to find again some day, whereas Facebook is the ephemeral forward-only firehose.

A breakdown of our portfolios
How P2P works?
Peer to peer (P2P) lending is a relatively new asset class that connects investors with people and businesses looking to borrow money. Historically a function carried out by banks - taking deposits from one person and providing loans to another - peer to peer lending removes the need for a bank. This creates huge cost savings, which are passed onto the investor in the form of significantly higher returns on their money.
When you invest across a peer to peer platform, your funds will be lent to borrowers on a variety of lending terms. Some loans will be made to individuals and some to businesses. Some will be asset backed, meaning there is protection against non-payment of the loan, and some will be unsecured. Diversification is critical to spread funds across a large number of borrowers and ensure a consistent return is achieved.

io-homecontrol®, reliable, secure technology for a more secure home
A communicating installation.
- io-homecontrol® allows the automatic and immediate confirmation of functions activated by remote control when you press the button. Since all the equipment items share a common language each order given is systematically verified and instantly confirmed to you on the remote control screen by a visual or audio signal (feedback). You can check the status of your equipment at any time. Your installation can detect any obstacle and alert you at any moment.
Your home is communicative, easier to manage and more comfortable to live in.
Technology under surveillance.
- io-homecontrol® guarantees optimum security for your installation. This security is assured by "frequency status" radio communication.
- io-homecontrol® scans three radio frequencies from 868 MHz to 870 MHz and selects the one that is available to transmit a command or information securely. This ensures proper operation that doesn't interfere with the other electronic equipment in the home (computer, internet box, television set etc.).
- A 128-bit symmetrical encryption key authenticates the origin of the command. Each installation has its own encryption key thereby offering a security level equivalent to the communication between an ATM and your bank.
The house is safe, worry-free and secure.
Compliant, proven technology.
- io-homecontrol®, two-way wireless radio technology complies with European standard EN 300-220 that governs low power radio communications in the 868 MHz to 870 MHz frequency range.
- This frequency range allows the optimal transmission of the radio signal in a 20-meter radius in a concrete structure (house or apartment) over three floors and up to a 300-meter radius outdoors (useful when opening a garage door and switching on lights).
- io-homecontrol® also guarantees compliance with requirements and regulations specific to the construction and housing sectors.
Your io-homecontrol® installation provides your home with significant added value.

The female lies slumped on the floor in a clumsy imitation of the recovery position. Dressed in an orange and black tiger print onesie of worn fleece with a rip in the left heel, her face is obscured by thick twists of black hair generously traced with ribbons of grey whose dripping ends flutter against the tensed jaw and rounded lips curling slightly away from even, gritted teeth through which passes a low, strangled, keening sound: its muted timbre and erratic rhythms reminiscent of chanting. Rounded shoulders push out the right arm at an awkward angle, highlighting the only visible hand with its ashen skin where multiple swellings push bloated surface into shiny, smooth peaks; and pulse as though on the cusp of bursting.
The once honey-brown carpet frames her prone form: the fibres worn down in places and darkened in others where repeated use has left its own mark. A red spill spatters away from the window and further into the room; whilst the dark countenance of the television, with its backdrop of magnolia walls, appears to dominate the space. But look again and there are so many colours dancing across the surfaces: from the ribbons along which a number of cards have been pinned in place by large silver paper clips, to the collection of photos and paintings in varying sizes and styles that hang along the walls.
The merriment in paint continues in the sparkly, electric-blue frame of the manual wheelchair that stands in the top-left corner of the room – hemmed in by the starkly-white radiator and the dark wood shelving overflowing with CDs and pieces of paper that have been haphazardly folded and wedged in for later perusal. The seat cushion has been removed to allow the contraption to be folded and then shoved in tight up against one of the armrests. The large grey wheels, with treads so clearly defined in their moulding, lean drunkenly towards each other at their base and the burnished bronze tone of the handrims used to propel it, twinkle brightly in the sunlight and call out to be stroked.

This species comes from Papua island. I have two variants in my collection. The more popular is the red one (on left side), and the other one is an alba (on the right side), which is rarer. The bulb could grow very long (more than 1 meter). In my garden, the bulb of the red one is 2 meters long, and the white one is 1 meter. The flowers come within a group of small flower on each node of leafless bulb, and whenever I see them, they remind me of furball, very cute indeed.The flowers could last for one month and they come twice a year. Enjoy

If you have been charged with or are under investigation for a felony or misdemeanor criminal offense, you need to be sure to stand up for your rights. We can help you understand what you are and are not entitled to. Whether you are facing an assault charge, a larceny charge, a drug charge, a conspiracy charge or another criminal offense, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer / attorney to help you through the process.
You may be scared, mad, or even depressed about charges you are facing. Our criminal defense attorneys will help you through the process and take care of everything. You should be comfortable that your criminal defense attorney is fighting for your rights with zealous advocacy, and we strive to to just that. Many people think they understand the criminal process, but far too often they are mistaken about critical points of law. The defense of a criminal case can be completely ineffective if you don't assert your legal rights. Only you or your lawyer are charged with upholding your rights, so if you don't have a knowledgable and experienced criminal defense lawyer, you may be giving away far more than you realize.
Too many people think that the truth will somehow simply work itself out, however without proper representation you could end up in jail for a crime you didn't commit. If you've been charged with a crime, you need our help. CONTACT the criminal defense lawyers in our office in Mooresville NC now for a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION.
If you don't assert your rights, they may be waived. Even for a right as fundamental as your right to a speedy trial, if you don't assert it early and often, it could be deemed to have been waived. If you don't assert your right to a formal arraignment in a felony charge, you could shorten your time to assert certain defenses. If you don't formally request discovery from the State and the State then fails to provide you evidence relating to your case, or if you fail to object to violations of your rights at a criminal trial, you could be deemed to have waived those rights.
Many people are unaware that they may be entitled to have their charges dismissed by the court in exchange for an agreement to complete a probationary period and some relatively minimal additional terms. You could waive this and other rights if you agree to plead guilty without our help and fail to request it.
The requirements to protect your rights in a criminal case require a knowledgable and experienced NC criminal defense lawyer. Don't waive your criminal defense rights. We can help. Contact us now at our Mooresville NC Office.
The discovery, which is the documents, reports and other evidence the state has against you, received from the State can be confusing and overwhelming in a felony criminal case. On a felony charge, the State may provide a large volume of documents and recordings in electronic or other format. If you don't know what to look for, you could be waiving additional rights to object to the use of that evidence, which could be to your great detriment in a criminal trial.
Criminal Defense Attorneys at Ray A Hayes II PA know how to read police reports, what to look for in videos and audio recordings, how to be sure the evidence is properly authenticated at trial, what should be provided in the event something is left out, and generally how to review the evidence provided by the State in anticipation of a criminal trial.
If you have been charged with a criminal offense, you need a good criminal defense attorney to preserve your rights. Don't be convicted for a crime you didn't commit and don't be convicted where the State has a weak or non-existant case against you and don't be treated more harshly than others in your situation. CONTACT the criminal defense lawyers in our office in Mooresville NC today for a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION.

EPL 2015: Mujila, Busetto, Rossouw know fate march 19
On Saturday, March 19, 2016, at Intercontinental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, the winner of the 2015 Etisalat Prize for Literature (EPL) will be announced at a grand ceremony. The month-long tension and anxiety that have characterised the pitch for the 2015 edition will reach its climax, with one of the three shortlisted debut fiction writers of African origin, who are neck-to-neck in the epic final battle, named winner. Who will that new crowned force of African literature be?
Without any doubt, the yearly Prize has assumed the flagship status among other literary initiatives in its competitive set. It also incorporates the Flash Fiction category as a strategic measure to celebrate unpublished writers across the continent and challenge budding writers to create compelling stories. The Prize was launched in 2013 as a platform to promote creativity and talent development in Africa.
In its few years, it has significantly contributed to the growth of African literature as well as giving the continent a louder global voice. This is evident in the number and quality of participation and the window of opportunity it has afforded some of the past winners. For example, winner of the 2013 edition, NoViolet Bulawayo of Zimbabwe and her winning book, We Need New Names, has gone on to win more accolades including the prestigious Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award and Stegner Fellowship at Stanford University.
In 2014, Songeziwe Mahlangu of South Africa emerged winner with his novel, Penumbra, ahead of his contemporaries, Nigerian Chinelo Okparanta, author of Happiness, Like Water and South African, Nadia Davids, author of An Imperfect Blessing. Neema Komba of Tanzania was also announced winner in the Flash Fiction category of the Etisalat Prize for same year. She won a cash prize of £1,000 for her entry Setting Babu on Fire. The runners up, Chinua Ezenwa-Ohaeto, writer of the short story, I Saved my Marriage and Irabor Justin Ikhide, writer of the short story, These Words I Do Not Speak, were presented with a cash prize of £500 each.
This year, the three finalists on the pitch are, Fiston Mwanza Mujila of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and South Africa's duo of Penny Busetto and Rehana Rossouw. While Mujila's book, Tram 83 earned him a space in the final list, Busetto got on the list with her work, The Story of Anna P, as Told by Herself while Rossouw's What Will People Say? gave her a place.
Indeed, come Saturday the stake will be much higher because the competition presents a very interesting mix: one male author versus two female authors or one DRC citizen versus two South Africans.
What about the all-encompassing rewards for the winner: £15,000 cash, engraved Montblanc Meisterstück pen and Etisalat-sponsored fellowship at the University of East Anglia, including mentoring by Professor Giles Foden, author of The Last King of Scotland.
In addition to the great rewards for the winner, all the three shortlisted writers will enjoy a sponsored multi-city book tour and have 1,000 copies of their books purchased by Etisalat for distribution to schools, libraries and book clubs across the African continent.
It has been a fierce contest all the way. At the submission of entries for the literary prize earlier last year, writers from across the continent submitted over 100 titles.
Each of the 100 titles was reviewed by the esteemed three-member judging panel: Professor Ato Quayson, a professor of English and inaugural Director of the Centre for Diaspora Studies at the University of Toronto (Chair of Judges); Molara Wood, writer, journalist, critic and editor; and Zukiswa Wanner, author of Men of the South and London Cape Town Joburg.
After the rigorous month-long review, nine longlisted titles were announced in November 2015. The panel did a further review of the nine books and released the shortlist in December 2015, thus setting the stage for the three finalists to compete for the ultimate prize.
Fiston Mwanza Mujila (Tram 83)
A RECIPIENT of French Voices 2014 grant and winner of the Grand Prix du Premier Roman des SGDL, Mujila's book had also been shortlisted for numerous other awards, including the Prix du Monde. Tram 83 has also drawn comparisons to Fitzgerald, Céline, García Márquez, Hunter S. Thompson and even a painting by Hyeronimous Bosch or a piece by Coltrane. of French Voices 2014 grant and winner of the Grand Prix du Premier Roman des SGDL, Mujila's book had also been shortlisted for numerous other awards, including the Prix du Monde. Tram 83 has also drawn comparisons to Fitzgerald, Céline, García Márquez, Hunter S. Thompson and even a painting by Hyeronimous Bosch or a piece by Coltrane.
Tram 83 is the story of Requiem, a gangster rapidly gaining power and influence in a fictional, dystopian African city and his friend, Lucien, a writer who visits him and is sucked into Requiem's corrupt empire and the city's outrageously extravagant, filthy-glamorous nightlife.
Born in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo, in 1981, Mujila studied Literature and Human Sciences at Lubumbashi University. He now lives in Graz, Austria and is pursuing a PhD in Romance Languages.
Penny Busetto (The Story of Anna P, as Told by Herself)
BUSETTO'S book, The Story of Anna P, as Told by Herself is a novel set principally on the island of Ponza, off the Italian mainland, but has a haunting South African backstory that edges into the narrative about a fifth of the way in. The fictional novel won the 2013 European Union Literary Award as well as the 2014 University of Johannesburg Debut Prize.
Busetto grew up in Cape Town, but moved to Italy when she was 17, where she studied and married. She moved back to Cape Town in 1996, and is currently pursuing her doctorate in English and psychology.
Rehana Rossouw (What Will People Say?)
WHAT Will People Say? by Rossouw is a story of the Fourie family, residents of Hanover Park in the Cape Flats during the height of the struggle era. The main characters include Magda, the church-going mother, who doesn't see what's going on in front of her; Neville, the concerned and loving but not always effectual father; Suzette, the oldest daughter, who is bound and determined to get away and make a better life for herself via a career in modelling. Nicky, the smart and sensitive middle child, who proves herself capable of making unselfish choices; and Anthony, the naïve and doomed son, who gets caught up with a gang and meets a sad end.

Chandigarh: Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi has summoned Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Captain Amarinder Singh and former Punjab PPCC chief Partap Singh Bajwa, member Rajya Sabha to Delhi to confer about the induction of Navjot Sidhu who resigned from the BJP and Rajya Sabha membership recently.
It is reliably learnt that former Cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin is playing an important role to bring Navjot Sidhu, a former cricketer, in the Congress fold.
Bajwa is reported to have advised the Congress vice-president that Sidhu would be an asset to the party as he has a considerable following in Punjab besides being a good orator.
There was a possibility that Sidhu may contest for Lok Sabha membership from Amritsar, which has been vacated by Captain Amarinder Singh. His wife Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu could then contest from Amritsar (Central), her favoured seat.
Sources said that former hockey player Pargat Singh, who was MLA of SAD and had resigned, could also join the Congress along with Sidhu.

The right shape for bread
Allowed file types: png gif jpg jpeg.Subject *
Recently, I saw a lot of interest in (sourdough) boules. I do not find spherical or circular loves particularly handy for eating. I see them as being more for the convenience of baker, and in part a result of using Dutch Ovens to enhance oven spring and produce a crisp crust.
Nevertheless, I wonder, "Why the focus on boules?" I like breads baked in loaf and Pullman pans. I like long, "baguettes" and batards made from various doughs. These are easy to slice so everyone at the table gets a similar slice. Baguettes seem democratic.
And there are rolls and little buns. They are democratic at the dinner table.
What menu, and what chef, wants boules?
