Pronounced "peep" and short for Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol, a protocol developed jointly by Microsoft, RSA Security and Cisco for transmitting authentication data, including passwords, over 802.11 wireless networks.
PEAP authenticates wireless LAN clients using only server-side digital certificates by creating an encrypted SSL/TLS tunnel between the client and the authentication server. The tunnel then protects the subsequent user authentication exchange.

Polish researchers have revealed the many ways you can hide messages within the bit stream of Voip phone calls.
If secret policemen didn't like Skype and its IP telephony cousins before, they'll really hate it now.
Burying hidden message in internet phone calls represents the latest evolution of steganography. Steganographic techniques for hiding messages have been around for as long as cryptography and have evolved with technology. Steganography once included messages hidden in wax tablets by the ancient Greeks and invisible ink and microdots on paper. Now it involves concealing messages within digitally transmitted images or sound files.
The advantage of steganography over simply scrambling messages using cryptographic techniques is that potential eavesdroppers don't know what to listen to. Subtle changes to images, the content of spam messages or a little extra noise in voice over IP communications are hard to detect and impossible to decipher without knowing that a message is there and applying appropriate unbundling and deciphering software.
The possibility of dropping hidden messages within the lowest bits of noisy sound files is not new in itself. Wojciech Mazurczyk and Krzysztof Szczypiorski, security researchers at Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, have extended this work to show how steganography techniques might be used to create a covert communications channel within VoIP streams.
In particular the researchers have developed two new techniques that exploit the fact that VoIP systems tolerate packet loss and have built-in redundancy. One approach exploits unused fields in the RTCP (Real-Time Control Protocol) and RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol) protocols to transmit hidden messages. Another technique used delayed audio packets to hide covert communications. Mazurczyk and Szczypiorski's paper also goes through many other possible techniques for VoIP steganography.
In an experiment the researchers were able to covertly transmit more than 1.3 Mbits of data in one direction during a VoIP call lasting nine minutes, the average time for such calls. Mazurczyk and Szczypiorski found that protocol steganography was by far the quickest way to transmit covert messages.
Law enforcement officials have expressed frustration about the difficulty of deciphering VoIP messages made by suspected terrorists using Skype. Leaked documents suggest German cops have commissioned the development of software to intercept Skype VoIP communications and SSL transmissions.
This difficulties exist because of the cryptography natively employed by Skype without even considering the complicating factor of steganography.
Mazurczyk and Szczypiorski's paper on Steganography of VoIP Streams can be looked at (pdf format) (http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0805/0805.2938.pdf).

BERLIN: Despite strong criticism from the opposition and even its own coalition partners, Chancellor Angela Merkel's government agreed Wednesday to give Germany's police forces greater powers to monitor homes, telephones and private computers, maintaining that an enhanced reach would protect citizens from terrorist attacks.
But opposition parties and some Social Democrats who share power with Merkel's conservative bloc criticized the measures in the draft legislation, saying they would further erode privacy rights that they contend have already been undermined, after revelations of recent snooping operations conducted by Deutsche Telekom, one of the country's biggest companies.
Deutsche Telekom had for some time been monitoring calls of its employers, despite federal regulations on strict data protection.
The proposed legislation would for the first time give federal police officers the right to take preventive measures in cases of suspected terrorism.
The bill, for example, calls for video surveillance of private apartments, online computer searches and phone monitoring.
But the nature of the surveillance, which would require the approval of the Bundestag, the lower house of Parliament, has worried many Germans, with some commentators recalling the Nazi past and its vast machinery of spying. They also point to the more recent role of the Stasi, the hated secret police in the once Communist-ruled East Germany, which established a pervasive system of keeping tabs on almost everyone in the country.
The draft law was fashioned after months of intense debate led by Wolfgang Schäuble, the conservative interior minister, who has long wanted the security forces to be given more leeway for surveillance.
Schäuble said Wednesday that, if approved, the law would strengthen the means available to the Federal Crime Office, known as the BKA, to investigate terrorism suspects and fight international crime.
"The threat to our country has made it necessary to give the BKA such rights to counter threats," Schäuble said at a news conference while presenting the so-called BKA law. "It is an important building block for Germany's security architecture."
He also said the draft legislation was in line with the Constitution.
But Sebastian Edathy, a Social Democrat and chairman of the domestic affairs committee in Parliament, told the public broadcaster ZDF that the legislation was "uncharted territory in the law." He said sections of the legislation related to online searches should be limited to four or five years to give lawmakers a chance for evaluation.
"We don't want a spy state," he said. "We want a state that works with tweezers instead of a sledgehammer in cases where we indeed have to protect the state's security concerns."
The opposition Greens party said Schäuble was trying to realize his own agenda by pushing through the tougher measures.
"All of Mr. Schäuble's security fantasies have been pushed through," Claudia Roth, a Greens leader, said in an interview on the commercial television station N24. "We need resistance to that. I don't want us to be a state in which everyone is suspicious."
The pro-business Free Democrats said the security forces could become a "super spying agency." The party's interior affairs expert, Gisela Piltz, said Schäuble's plan would undermine a state that is based on strong constitutional rights and has transparent checks and balances.
Schäuble rejected assertions of excessive state interference.
"The constitutional state works," he said. "The protection of the personal private sphere," he said, "is no lower than in any other part of the world and it is higher than it has ever been at any other time in our history. I'm proud of that, and working for it with great determination."
But Peter Schaar, who heads the federal agency for data protection, challenged the legislation, saying he would lobby Parliament to improve the proposals so that citizens' privacy could be protected.
A poll by the independent Forsa Institute showed that 48 percent of Germans considered storage of citizens' data by the government a necessary means to fight crime, while 46 percent said it was a disproportionate and unnecessary assault on individual freedoms.

The whereabouts of more than 100,000 mobile phone users have been tracked in an attempt to build a comprehensive picture of human movements.
The study concludes that humans are creatures of habit, mostly visiting the same few spots time and time again.
Most people also move less than 10km on a regular basis, according to the study published in the journal Nature.
The results could be used to help prevent outbreaks of disease or forecast traffic, the scientists said.
"It would be wonderful if every [mobile] carrier could give universities access to their data because it's so rich," said Dr Marta Gonzalez of Northeastern University, Boston, US, and one of the authors of the paper.
Dr William Webb, head of research and development at the UK telecoms regulator, Ofcom, agreed that mobile phone data was still underexploited.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg," he told BBC News.
Money search
Researchers have previously attempted to map human activity using GPS or surveys, but it is expensive.
One innovative approach tracked the movement of dollar bills in an attempt to reconstruct human movements.
The study used data from the website wheresgeorge.com, which allows anyone to track a dollar bill as it circulates through the economy. The site has so far tracked nearly 130 million notes.
Studies such as this suggested that humans wander in an apparently random fashion, similar to a so-called "Levy flight" pattern displayed by many foraging animals.
However, Dr Gonzalez and her team do not believe this approach gives a complete picture of people's movements.
"The bills pass from one person to another so they can't measure individual behaviour," she explained.
The new work tracked 100,000 individuals selected randomly from a sample of more than six million phone users in a European country.
Each time a participant made or received a call or text message, the location of the mobile base station relaying the data was recorded.
The researchers said they were "not at liberty" to disclose where the information had been collected and said steps had been taken to guarantee the participants' anonymity.
For example, individual phone numbers were disguised as 26 digit security codes.
"Furthermore, we only know the coordinates of the tower routing the communication, hence a user's location is not known within a tower's service area," they wrote.
Each tower serves an area of approximately 3 sq km.
Information was collected for six months. But, according to the researchers, a person's pattern of movement could be seen in just three.
Model behaviour
"The vast majority of people move around over a very short distance - around five to 10km," explained Professor Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, another member of the team.
"Then there were a few that moved a couple of hundred kilometres on a regular basis."
The results showed that most people's movements follow a precise mathematical relationship - known as a power law.
"That was the first surprise," he told BBC News.
The second surprise, he said, was that the patterns of people's movements, over short and long distances, were very similar: people tend to return to the same few places over and over again.
"Why is this good news?" he asked. "If I were to build a model of how everyone moves in society and they were not similar then it would require six billion different models - each person would require a different description."
Now, modellers had a basic rule book to follow, he said.
"This intrinsic similarity between individuals is very exciting and it has practical applications," said Professor Barabasi.
For example, Professor John Cleland of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Disease (LSHTM) said the study could be of use to people monitoring the spread of contagious diseases.
"Avian flu is the obvious one," he told BBC News. "When an outbreak of mammalian infectious airborne disease hits us, the movement of people is of critical concern."
Dr Gonzalez said that traffic planners had also expressed an interest in the study.
Sensor overload
Although the scale of the latest study is unprecedented, it is not the first time that mobile phone technology has been used to track people's movements.
Scientists at MIT have used mobile phones to help construct a real-time model of traffic in Rome, whilst Microsoft researchers working on Project Lachesis are examining the possibility of mining mobile data to help commuters pick the optimum route to work, for example.
Location data is increasingly used by forensic scientists to identify the movements of criminal suspects.
For example, the technique was used by Italian police to capture Hussain Osman, one of four men jailed for the failed suicide bombings in London on 21 July.
Commercial products also exist, allowing parents to track children or for friends to receive alerts when they are in a similar location.
These types of services and projects will continue to grow, Dr Webb believes, as researchers and businesses find new ways to use the mobile phone networks.
"There are so many sensors that you could conceivably attach to a phone that you could do all kinds of monitoring activities with," he said.
For example, Nokia have put forward an idea to attach sensors to phones that could report back on air quality. The project would allow a large location-specific database to be built very quickly.
Ofcom is also planning to use mobiles to collect data about the quality of wi-fi connections around the UK.
"I am sure there will be tens if not hundreds of these ideas emerging over the next few years," said Dr Webb.

CHENNAI: Seven-month-old P A Aryan is too young to realise that he is being behind bars for no mistake of his. When his mother Ritu Peter Anderson tried to cheat an NRI after hacking one of her friend's email ID and then impersonating him, Aryan also had to pay the price.
He is now accompanying his mother, Ritu (25) in Puzhal central prison, after she was picked up along with her husband Peter Anderson, her brother P Neville Phillips and an associate, Peter Francis, by the cyber crime cell of CB-CID from Bangalore. The arrests were made on a complaint from S D Paul, a resident of Nilgiris.
Ritu, a graduate in psychology, is a known cyber criminal in Bangalore. She, along with her husband, brother and a broker had been involved in many cheating cases, including hacking and impersonation.
"We picked up all the four after receiving a complaint from Paul, a military store manager in Nilgiris. The complaint, filed on May 16, alleged that some one had hacked into his email ID and had been sending messages to his friends in the address book, requesting a financial assistance of Rs 75,000 for medical treatment for 'Paul's wife'.
The hacking and impersonation came to light when Franko D'Souza, who is a health officer in Kuwait and a friend of Paul, contacted him to know about his wife's 'illness.' Paul then lodged a complaint," S Balu, deputy superintendent of police, cyber crime cell said.
The cyber crime cell people then acted swiftly and contacted D'Souza. He has been told to keep in touch with the impersonator through mail. When the officials checked details of the mail, it had a bank account number from Bangalore. The police team then went to Bangalore and tracked the account details.
"We found the account holder to be P Neville Phillips, brother of the main accused, Ritu. Neville had managed to open a bank account using fake address with the help of Peter Francis," Balu said.
Meanwhile, Ritu was in constant touch with D'Souza over email. D'Souza informed Ritu that the money had been sent to the said account. Ritu tried to withdraw the money using the ATM card twice.
"That was our plot. We had asked D'Souza to inform Ritu that money had been sent to her. Ritu was desperate after two attempts at ATM and gave her original address to D'Souza. We then traced her and arrested her. We had earlier picked up the other three," Balu said.
The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.

Smart phones are seen as a more of a security risk than laptops and mobile storage devices, according to new research.
Some 94% of senior IT staff fear PDAs present a security risk, just above the 88% who highlighted mobile storage devices as a worry.
Nearly eight in 10 said laptops were an issue. Only four in 10 had encrypted data on their laptops, and the remainder said the information was "not worth" protecting.
The results come from a survey of 300 senior IT staff conducted by endpoint data protection supplier Credant Technologies.
A key danger with PDAs was that over half of IT executives surveyed were "not bothering" to enter a password when they used their phone.
Nine in 10 of the smart phones were being given access to company networks without extra security, even though the phones were individually owned by users. There were no access restrictions being applied to 81% of the phones.
Credant Technologies said smart phones had become "easy pickings" for any opportunists trying to steal them and access information.
Peter Mitteregger, European VP at the company, said: "Companies need to regain control of these devices and the data that they are carrying, or risk finding their investment in securing the enterprise misplaced and woefully inadequate."
Technology Problems & Difficult Clients & Suppliers are Top Anxieties
YouGov/Trend Micro survey suggests small businesses need to be more aware of growing electronic crime threat
2nd June, 2008
Marlow, UK -- A new You Gov survey into British UK small business attitudes to operational business anxieties reveals that technology not working (42% of all respondents) is the number one work issue that causes anxiety, alongside with difficult clients and suppliers (42%) which cause the same level of concern. Heavy workloads (30%), tight deadlines (26%) and long hours (19%) were the next highest ranking issues causing concern.
The survey commissioned by Trend Micro, a global leader in internet content security, also asked small businesses about their anxiety regarding business-related crime. Fear of theft and office break-ins ranked low as issues causing most anxiety (9%) of all respondents ranked this as a top three concern. But there were some regional variations with more than one in ten London respondents (13%) saying business crime was one of their top three concerns. This compared with 3% of Scottish respondents. Anxiety over loss of confidential data was more of a general concern with one in ten of all businesses worried about this; respondents in London and Midlands/Wales registered a slightly higher level of concern (12%).
When asked about electronic crime, the majority of all respondents (83%) said they had not been a victim of electronic crime in the last 12 months. Once again there were some interesting regional anomalies with 18% of Scottish respondents saying they had suffered at least one incident in the last year.
This low rate of reported incidents among small businesses comes as the recorded volume of electronic crime attacks grows and is increasingly targeted at small businesses that do not necessary have the resources or systems to protect themselves. A further worry is that these attacks are hidden and many small businesses may not know when an electronic crime is being committed.
For example, in May 2008 over half a million websites were infected with malicious code. Most of these were small business websites typically made up of old and unsecured coding and running on older or unpatched web server and operating systems. These sites are easy targets for cyber criminals looking to hijack commercial websites for financial gain and identity fraud. Most of the UK businesses affected were sole-traders relying on their web presence for revenue generation.
Paul Burke, SMB Product Marketing Manager - EMEA at Trend Micro says: "Information technology problems top the list of everyday anxieties for small businesses. The survey also suggests that we need to do much more to better inform and help the small business community about the new generation of security threats that are attacking their IT infrastructure silently and with potentially devastating effects to their reputation and finances. Our Worry-Free initiative is geared specifically to provide these businesses with both support and guidance on how to better protect themselves without adding to their IT anxieties and having to become an IT security expert."
While putting into place comprehensive security software is key, Trend Micro suggests a number of tips on how small businesses can protect their assets, their customer information and, most importantly, their reputation:
ü Ensure that all employees use effective passwords, and when possible, stronger authentication technology. Encourage passwords that are comprised of different upper and lower case letter characters and change them frequently
ü Discourage employee downloads from non-trusted sources such as peer-to-peer and video
ü Protect your network; by ensuring that PCs and laptops are protected by firewalls, anti-virus software and web threat protection both within the office network as well as when mobile working
ü Keep all operating systems and software up-to-date, as without updates, your systems will not be well protected against new cyber threats
ü Create and manage back-ups. It is best to store secured copies and use encryption to protect sensitive records about employees, suppliers and customers
ü Maximise encryption. You should protect customer data by encrypting it with passwords or encryption keys
ü Don't leave sensitive data saved on a handheld or mobile device, in case it is stolen or lost
ü Keep in mind that your company will grow, and shop for security solutions that will grow with your business's pace

Credit and charge card fraud rates increased in 2007, as more dollars were lost to fraudulent overseas online merchants, according to the Australian Payments Clearing Association (APCA).
According to APCA's newly released payments fraud data, payment card fraud that is debit, credit and charge cards, increased from 23.9 cents in every $1,000 in 2006 to 27.9 cents in 2007.
Credit and charge card fraud (signature permitted and card-not-present) fraud increased from 36.9 cents to 44.5 cents in every $1,000 while debit card fraud dropped from 7.7 cents to 7.1 cents in every $1,000.
The report found the largest component of Australia's credit and charge card fraud relates to card-not present (CNP) fraud and cross-border fraud activity which includes fraud conducted over the Internet, phone, mail and fax.
APCA's Chief Executive Officer, Chris Hamilton said Australia's payment card fraud rate has increased over the last 12 months but remains low by global standards.
"The UK's payment card fraud rate is the equivalent of $1.18 in every $1,000 as against slightly under 28 cents in Australia," Hamilton said.
"[However] what the statistics are telling us is that even as today's technology makes it possible to buy anything from anywhere, it is also making it possible for fraudsters to operate globally," he said.
Hamilton warned: "It's no surprise that Australian consumers and retailers need to take particular care when not dealing face-to-face."
Commenting on the data, the Australian Bankers' Association (ABA) said cheque fraud has declined to very low levels, debit card fraud is also at low levels but credit and charge card fraud is showing an increase.
Around 70 percent of the increase in credit card and charge card fraud has been driven by Australian card holders making purchases overseas via the Internet and telephone, claimed the ABA.
According to David Bell, chief executive at the ABA, customers are increasingly shopping online from overseas retailers and unfortunately some of these outlets may not have strong customer protections in place.
"Fraud prevention remains more than ever a priority for the industry," said APCA's Hamilton.
Vendor nixes protection with step-by-step reset guide
By John Leyden
2 Jun 2008
HP has come under fire for nullifying BIOS password protection steps on laptops by publishing reset data on its website. UK-based security consultancy SecureTest compared the approach to hiding a front door key under a welcome mat.
Security breaches resulting from stolen laptops have hit the headlines repeatedly over recent months. Full disc encryption is the best approach to making sure data remains secure even if an item of hardware is lost or stolen. But other techniques, such as BIOS password security, still have a role in discouraging casual thieves from bothering to read the data on stolen or 'lost' laptops.
Early BIOS passwords were a product of a more innocent age, but even so password resets typically required technically involved procedures. Initially hardware hacks, such as the opening up the case and applying a parallel loopback connector, were possible. Laptop manufacturers later sharpened up their practices so that better reset processes were applied across the industry.
Laptop BIOS resets typically involve a call to a vendor and going through a challenge-response process before reset codes are handed out. So SecureTest was surprised to discover that HP publishes the reset process for the series of laptop most commonly used in the office on their UK website.
By comparison reseting the BIOS password on a Toshiba laptop involves a visit to a Toshiba dealer, the only parties authorised to obtain reset codes.
"HP might choose to defend itself by saying that its 'bundled security tools' provide a much greater degree of protection than the BIOS, but in reality security is about in-depth defence. Each layer of the security onion needs to be as impenetrable as possible," Ken Munro, a director of SecureTest, explained.
"So it frankly baffles us as to why the likes of HP would publish the reset process if the BIOS password isn't intended to be used. It's like hiding your key under the mat and leaving a note to that effect for passing burglars to see," he added.
We put these concerns to HP on Friday. We're yet to hear anything substantive back but will update this story if we do.
Although full disc encryption is the best approach for laptop security other techniques still have their place, according to Munro.
"Full disc encryption is the right thing for laptop security, but vendors often forget to mention the ATA-3 (or 'drivelock') standard that effectively 'locks' the hard drive to the BIOS.
"Unless this password has been entered, the laptop is rendered unbootable and the hard disc unreadable, even if it is removed and mounted in another machine. ATA-3 appears vulnerable only to a very prolonged brute force crack, rather like regular encryption," he said.
The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly...it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.

password cracking
The process of attempting to guess or crack passwords to gain access to a computer system or network. Crackers will generally use a variety of tools, scripts, or software to crack a system password. The goal of the cracker is to ideally obtain the password for root (UNIX) or system and administrator (Windows, NT). Password cracks work by comparing every encrypted dictionary word against the entries in system password file until a match is found.

Shalini Kesar, a computer scientist at Southern Utah University in Cedar City, has devised an antifraud strategy for business. Writing in the International Journal of Business Information Systems from Inderscience Publishers, he suggests that managers should be made aware of security issues and send out cues to junior staff that they have this knowledge.
Combating digital fraud within any organizations is a growing problem for management. Researchers in this field and security practitioners have recently begun to emphasize the need to take into account the "social" aspects of information security. They also emphasize that a lack of communication at the wider organizational level is often associated with computer fraud.
"Computer fraud can result from incompetence, ignorance, negligence in the use of Information Technology or deliberate misappropriation by individuals," says Kesar. This results in the destruction of not only the main information systems but also backup systems, causing damages up to hundreds and thousands of dollars.
Kesar points out that reported cases of computer fraud only represent a tip of a potentially large iceberg. Anecdotal evidence suggests that employees pose one of the greatest threats because they are in a better position than "outsiders" to engage in computer fraud, Kesar adds.
Opportunistic computer fraud could be minimized, however, he says simply by raising managers' awareness and knowledge of how organizational structure can affect the effectiveness of security measures. Kesar uses the case of a well-known serious fraud that took place at an international bank together with the business theory of management theorist Henry Mintzberg to demonstrate how security breaches might be avoided by educating management.
"Lack of awareness of social and technical issues among managers largely manifest themselves in a failure to implement even the most basic safeguards and controls," the researchers conclude, "Concomitantly, if management ignores wider organizational structural issues then this too increases the likelihood of a potential offender committing computer fraud."
These two main insights point to Kesar's seemingly obvious solution, which simply involves teaching management and then subtly communicating management's new-found knowledge to employees.

More cases of international credit card fraud with links to India have come to light in Britain, even as authorities refused to rate the problem from Indian cities as very high.
In a latest incident, a British journalist discovered that money was withdrawn from his bank account in Chennai this week, while nearly 500 others in Bournemouth suffered the same fate.
British security officials have been grappling with card-cloning, by which card details are surreptitiously recorded during transactions at petrol pumps and supermarkets, and emailed across the globe for illegal withdrawals from ATM machines.
In the last one year, several cases have come to light when British consumers found that money was withdrawn from their accounts from Mumbai, Chennai and other parts of India.
Petrol pumps have been the most vulnerable to such scams. In Bournemouth, south England, Gavin Haines, a feature writer for the Daily Echo, a leading local newspaper, was alerted by his bank after money was withdrawn from his account in Chennai last Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
"I can't afford to lose 400 pounds on a weekend. It was my only bank account at the time and they didn't have access to money. I've now got to go through the claims process," he said.
However, Mark Bowerman, an official of the Association of Payment and Clearing Services (APACS), the UK trade association for institutions delivering payment services, told PTI: "India is not in our top ten list for this type of fraud".
The list is headed by the United States, and followed by Italy, Australia, France and Spain. Apart from Haines, nearly 500 people have complained of similar withdrawals overseas in scams apparently linked to the Malthurst West View Service petrol station in Bournemouth.
The location was raided by the local police this week. Among the countries from which the attempts have been made to withdraw money are Malaysia, Egypt, Canada, Portugal, Australia, China, India, the Philippines, Ghana, the USA, the Netherlands and Taiwan.
In 2007, the police received more than 200 similar complaints about the Murco service station in Southbourne Grove, Bournemouth. Three men were arrested but were later released without charge. The garage is under new management.
Card-cloning, also known as skimming, involves retrieving card details and pins (personal identification numbers) to withdraw money fraudulently from people's bank accounts.
In spring last year, thousands of motorists were hit in a skimming scam involving garages across England. The Sri Lankan government claimed the money was being used to fund Tamil terrorist activity on the island. Officers from the cheque and card unit of the Dorset Police's economic crime unit are liaising with APACS to investigate the latest allegations.
Mandy White, a resident of Charminster, said that nearly 2,000 pounds had been taken out of her partner's account in 19 transactions in the Philippines on Sunday. APACS spokeswoman Jemma Smith said customers' details were often sold over the Internet at the touch of a button.
She added: "Under the UK banking code, if you are the innocent victim, you can expect to get your money back".

Pune : The city police on Friday arrested 52-year-old Flora Akkavan of Dhanlaxmi society in Dhanori who duped two persons of Rs 5 lakh. She claimed the crime was committed to make good about Rs 20 lakh she lost to a group of online fraudsters based outside India who promised to make her richer by $ 10 million (about Rs four crore) in double quick time.
The police have seized 30 bundles of 'black-and-green paper' having size similar to that of a 100-dollar note and a diplomat's bag that Flora had got from the fraudsters. Each bundle carries a label — United States of America $ 50,000. Police Inspector Bhanupratap Barge of crime branch who busted the racket said that the fraud had its roots in Nigeria and Thailand.
Barge said that Flora claimed she had received a fraudulent email sometime prior to April 2007 saying that former Philippines President Asteda wanted to secretly transfer $ 120 million to a bank account in USA and assured to pay her $ 10 million.
Flora said she got another email asking her to pay $ 8,000 (about Rs 4.5 lakh) for opening an account in Crew Bank in USA. She was then told that $ 120 million had been transferred to her Crew Bank account. A few days later, she got an email that $ 110 million had been transferred to Asteda's account while the remaining $ 10 million was being given to her as promised.
Flora was again asked to pay $ 8000 for transferring the money from USA to India via Thailand. Flora gave this money to a foreigner at Hotel Ambassador in Mumbai. Then in November 2007, she was called to Delhi to collect her kickback money of $ 10 million.
She got the parcel containing a diplomat's box with bundles of green and black paper. The foreign national who gave the parcel said that these were US dollars coated with green and black colour and demonstrated how the currency could regain its original shape by washing away the coating on the notes with a chemical.
The fraudster said they would send the chemical to her soon and left. Police said that Flora spent about Rs 20 lakh in the process but never got the chemical. Still hopeful of getting her money, she approached Pradeep Baldev Rajput (22), a real estate agent in Wadgaon Sheri.
Flora told him that she has sold three software packages in USA for Rs 17 crore and that the money has already landed in India via 'a secret channel' route. She also took Rajput to a cyber café to show the demonstration of notes are converted to dollars by washing with a chemical on a website - doilrich007.
Flora said a Swiss Bank manager would be coming to India with the chemical and lured Rajput to invest Rs 50,000 for purchasing the chemical, saying he would be paid back Rs 2.5 lakh in one month. Later, she managed to extract Rs 1 lakh from Rajput and about Rs 3.5 lakh from his friend Anil Vasant Upshant with the same promise.
As months passed, Rajput realised that Flora was cheating him and his friend and lodged a complaint with the crime branch. A team led by inspector Barge arrested Flora and the case has been transferred to Vishrantwadi police station for investigations.
The police have recovered an Iranian passport from Flora as she was married to an Iranian national. While the foreigners who cheated Flora remain unidentified, police suspect that she has cheated more persons like Rajput.

Ahmedabad, PTI: A city-based IT firm owner Maulik Dave was arrested yesterday by the city crime branch based on a complaint filed by the representative of the US-based firm in India, police said.
Police have arrested an IT firm owner for allegedly stealing database from a US-based company and selling it to other company.
A city-based IT firm owner Maulik Dave was arrested yesterday by the city crime branch based on a complaint filed by the representative of the US-based firm in India, police said.
"We have been following Dave's activity after we received a complaint from a US-based firm which said important official data were stolen from their database," ACP, Crime Branch, Usha Rada said.
"Dave had worked with the US-based firm on some IT project and had access to their database. The company has alleged that Dave had stolen data from their server and sold it to some other US-based company," Rada said.
According to sources, the data, which contained personal details of clients of the US-based firm, could be worth lakhs of rupees.
Sources also said that Dave, who used to operate from his home in the Vejalpur area of the city, was not alone and had an accomplice who is yet to be traced.
Dave was produced before a city court today. The court has sent him to three days police custody.
Further action in the case will depend on outcome of the interrogation, police added.

Our weather has been so screwy this year. It was cold most of the summer. Then the first day of fall hits and it's as warm as the first day of summer should have been. Go figure! Oh well, I'm enjoying the warm temps for as long as it lasts. It's been dry since the first of the month. The leaves are turning colors and starting to fall.
My forsythia bush is clearly confused. Do you see the yellow in the center of this picture? Those are flowers! It's not supposed to be blooming in September. It only blooms in the spring before the leaves come out.
Our tomatoes have been coming in like gangbusters. Here are some big yellow tomatoes I picked last week. These are either heirloom Pineapple Tomatoes or Big Rainbows---both are very sweet, and flavorful, low acid tomatoes. The ruler will give you an idea of how big these really are. Each of them must weigh at least a pound.
And some big news! We're having a four seasons room built by Champion! It's something hubby and I have wanted for a long time. Yesterday, they poured a foundation around our existing patio. Here's one of the workers pumping concrete into one part of the trench. Now to be patient until the walls and roof arrive and are installed. It should be done by the end of October. This will more than double the size of our family room and add some much needed living space to our home. I'm looking forward to sitting out there this winter watching it snow while I spin. Or inviting my knitting/spinning group over for a Fiber Frolic! The kitties aren't too happy about all changes right now but I think they'll be very happy to have all those windows to peer out this winter when it is too cold for them to go outside.

The Crystal Garden Shawl pattern
This pattern is for a triangle shawl knit from the neck down. It features a crystalline design that ends with a diamond triangle lace edging. The linear design of the lace changes as the shawl grows, mirroring the many facets of our personalities and how we change and grow throughout our lives.
[BTW, that's Boo in the picture. He likes this shawl. He was purring and kneading it. LOL!]
This design is dedicated to my MIL, Mary Alice, who passed away from cancer in August 2007. A donation was made in her name to the Center for Hospice and Palliative Care for each pattern sold in 2009. Hospice provided invaluable help to our family and care for my MIL during the final months of her life. A check for $90 was sent to Hospice from introductory pattern sales. Thanks everyone for your donation!

Jobs in Department Stores
One of the greatest things about the time period we live in is the wide range of careers available to pursue. In today's age, anyone can be anything they can dream of. With enough hard work and determination, the sky is truly the limit.
One example of how modern we've become in our society is department stores. These places offer a massive quantity and variety of goods, all divided into different sections that various people work in. With department store jobs, there is a massive selection of places to work, all under the umbrella of the same company.
Working in the various departments these stores are made of will afford you options such as selling clothing, furniture, appliances, cosmetics, gardening, food, books, electronics, and so much more. The selection in these massive stores is beyond compare. Nowadays, you may hear such places referred to as big-box stores, hypermarkets, or discount stores which are all modern versions of department stores.
Department Store Jobs: Careers and Employment Forms
Department stores accept applications like any other place of employment. Some of them may have specific requests around applying online or in person. These are things we will explain in more detail as we examine different companies and their personal preferences.
Some popular department stores where you can find jobs include JCPenney, Costco, Walmart, Target, Sears, and many more that we will show you through the website. Below are some examples of positions you may find intriguing. If you like the sound of these jobs, we invite you to check out our various department store pages for a company that you want to work for.
1. Customer Service Positions
These positions focus on helping the various people that come into the store. Each section of the store will have need for people to assist the customers, so there is no shortage of these opportunities. You will see various job titles that fall under this category. Jobs such as POS Associate, Team Leader, Sales Associate, Cashier, and more will represent great entry level and management opportunities.
2. Manager Jobs
This would be the next step up once you have your foot in the door. If you have previous experience working in this field, you may also be able to enter the company at this level. As a previous manager for over five years, I can assure you that this level of responsibility is vast, but ultimately rewarding if you're willing to put in the effort to truly lead your team.
3. Inventory Jobs
These jobs are great for people who don't mind an odd schedule that may run late into the night or begin early in the morning. In this capacity, you will find positions that have you handling shipments, or stocking various parts of the back room and warehouse. For someone with an affinity for manual labor and a great work ethic, this offers some great opportunities for experienced or even entry level candidates.
These are just some broad examples of department store jobs that you can find out there. Be sure to visit our company specific pages for more detailed information and how to obtain employment forms.

A New Hope
I've just read A Meaningful Life. I am a vegan, and, finding myself an angry one, I googled 'angry vegan' and was led to the reference in your article.
Thank you! For all you've obviously done in your life to help animals, and for your support and wisdom in this article which has helped me transform anger into determination and even optimism.
Of course you are right, being angry isn't going to help the animals. I know that, but hearing your clear logic, hearing your passion directed at raising awareness, has really helped me feel there's someone out there who cares, and who has learnt to focus that care in a way that's actually useful for the animals.
I used to be active, but I gave up...believing it was useless. Despair overwelmed me. Your article has given me hope and I will now begin leafletting again, knowing that 5% will get it. Even if its just 1%, it's worth doing.
The other thing you helped me see is that holy grail of finding the elusive key to opening the hearts and minds of all people, magically transforming them and releasing animals from suffering overnight...isn't going to happen. But slow steady focused campaiging to raise awareness, will help to bring change about in the world.
For years I've thought the same as you, that first there was abolition of slavery, then children were protected from exploitation and women given the vote...now its time to release the animals. But I didn't know that democracy was first considered 2,000 years ago, and yet it took till the last century till these changes came about.. Its helped me because now, as I patiently leaflet outside colleges, I can feel that even if it takes 2,000...we will get there.
Though, I do have a great hope that it will take far less time than that.
Feeling so much gratitude to you. Feeling energised, hopeful, determined,

Sewage lines in West Augustine moved closer to design and planning as St. Augustine's City Commission this week approved a loan from utility fund reserves to pay its part of a cost-sharing agreement with St. Johns County.
The entire cost of "preconstruction activity" is $390,000, but that would be recovered only if the sewage master plan project moves forward.
According to a memo from Public Works Director Martha Graham, "If the project is not financially feasible, the city and county agree to be jointly responsible for the cost to prepare the Facilities Management plan."
The agreement is necessary to satisfy a state requirement to get a state revolving fund loan. That fund has set aside $1.88 million for pre-construction planning and design, Graham said.
Both city and county are negotiating with the Tallahassee consulting firm of Black & Veatch, which is tasked with finding the estimated $24 million to install sewage and water pipelines through West Augustine to Holmes Boulevard.
The unanimous vote to approve by the City Commission cheered the many community representatives who pushed for and supported the proposal.
The Rev. Trudye Thompson of Dawson Chapel Christian Methodist Episcopal Church said King Street is the spine of West Augustine and that contaminated drinking water in those neighborhoods has resulted in "cumulative health issues."
Per capita annual income in St. Johns County is $35,133, but in West Augustine it's $16,000, Thompson said.
"And many are surviving on less than that. A sewage line would spur economic development," she said.
St. Johns County Commission Chair Ken Bryan told the City Commission that a study at Murray Middle School found 15.8 percent of home drinking water samples submitted by Murray students contained coliform bacteria, which indicates fecal contamination.
He said the state was contemplating a mandatory septic tank inspection law.
"There are many residents in St. Augustine who would not qualify for a septic system," Bryan said. "Very few would pass without major renovations and replacements."
Smaller, close-built homes would not have enough yard to install an up-to-code septic tank, he said.
Yet to be established is a way to convince home-owners to hook up to a new sewage or water line passing in front of their houses. Some people with low incomes can not handle a bill for several thousand dollars to hook up, plus an estimated $30 to $60 bill per month on top of that.
St. Augustine City Manager John Regan said the agreement with the county is "the most complicated things we've done to date. It's a complete team effort."

Social Security Disability
When You're Under 50
Here's an example: say you're in your forties and suffer a neck injury that leaves you unable to perform the physically demanding factory work that you've done for most of your career.
Unfortunately, this isn't enough to prove you're disabled.
The SSA will ask you if there is other work you can hypothetically perform. This includes less physically demanding "sit-down" work like answering phones or viewing security footage.
If the SSA determines you can hypothetically perform a sit-down job, then you won't win disability benefits. Social Security doesn't care that it may be difficult to find such a job or that this hypothetical job won't provide the same income of your prior job.
What Changes in Social Security Disability
Over Age 50?
If you're between the ages of 50 and 54, you are labeled as "closely approaching advanced age" (Social Security's label – not ours!). The expectation that you will perform a different kind of job gets less stringent.
At this age, if you're unable to perform a physically demanding factory job and can only perform a "sit-down" job, you're still considered disabled under Social Security's Medical Vocational Guidelines.
The SSA will assume it's more difficult for you to perform physically demanding jobs as you get older.
At ages 55 – 59 you are considered to be of "advanced age." The rules shift again, and it becomes even easier to prove your disability.
As you can see, aging has one advantage. You face a more lenient standard to prove disability under Social Security's rules.
No matter how old (or young) you are, if you need Social Security Disability benefits, call us. We can help you apply or appeal if you were denied.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman has denounced the Tuesday deadly car bombing in Iraq's holy city of Karbala as a terrorist act.
Hossein Jaberi Ansari said countering the threat posed by terrorism and extremism requires the national solidarity of the Iraqi nation and firm support by the international community.
He extended his condolences to the Iraqi government, nation and the families of the victims of the attack.
At least five people lost their lives and 11 others wounded after a car bomb exploded in central Karbala, 80 kilometers (50 miles) southwest of the capital Baghdad, near the house of Karbala Governor Aqil al-Turaihi on Tuesday.
Iraqi sources said the bombing occurred five kilometers away from the shrines of the third Shia Imam, Imam Hussein, and his brother Hazrat Abbas.
In a statement later in the day, Daesh Takfiri group claimed responsibility for the attack. The terrorist group has been wreaking havoc on Iraq's northern and western parts since 2014.

This article was originially written for and posted on Hollywood Jesus.com.
Undaunted is a docudrama based on the childhood and early adulthood of preacher and Christian author James McDowell. Writer and director Cris Krusen tells me that McDowell had contemplated such a project for many years, as he had been told by his staff that he needed to do a film on his early life. He didn't take the idea seriously, however, until he saw a series of docudramas directed by Cristóbal Krusen. McDowell is quoted in an article published by Campus Crusade for Christ, "I never knew you could communicate so much emotion and so much substance in so little time as you can with a docudrama."
The film developed in various stages. After Krusen and McDowell decided to work together, Krusen sat down to write the screenplay. Unfamiliar with McDowell's story, Krusen gathered all the notes, articles, copies of speeches, and so on he could find, where McDowell might have shared his testimony, and pored over them. As he learned more about McDowell's life, Krusen recalls his first impression. "This is a powerful story," he remembers thinking, "with a marked conflict and a deeply moving resolution. And it's true!"
With a script in hand, production of the film was stalled due to shortage of funds. After many months without progress on the project, Krusen suggested that they shoot the film in stages, starting first with all the scenes involving the real-life Josh. They shot those scenes in October 2010. "It seemed," Krusen observed, "to provide a real impetus for raising the remainder of the budget." They would then shoot most of the dramatizations in May 2011.
Krusen enjoyed working with McDowell. "It was great," he says. McDowell "had many endearing qualities, chief among them being that he was open and approachable; he became 'one of the guys'." Krusen does point out that the report by Campus Crusade that McDowell's story influenced him in his personal conversion is just incorrect. Krusen never knew about Josh McDowell until after he had been a Christian for three or four years.
Even so, Krusen was excited about working on this project because it provided an opportunity to explore, as he says, "the fragile world of a child haunted by family dysfunction and abuse, and plumbing the depths of a troubled father-son relationship which is ultimately transformed by the power of love and forgiveness."
The docudrama presents to the viewer the chilling reality of McDowell's childhood, which includes some challenging scenes. McDowell is abused by a caretaker and witnesses the abuse of his mother at the hands of his father. These scenes were not only challenging for the viewer, they presented their own challenges in filming.
The actress playing McDowell's mother got delayed in reaching the shooting location, leaving Krusen having to rely a lot on the "power of suggestion." "The beating took place in real dairy barn," Krusen tells me, "and called for her rolling around in cow manure." This presented another challenge. The actress was too big a woman to handle any physical stunts. "There was no way she could fall to the ground," Krusen says. So, they had to imply a lot. Krusen says he hopes that the audience is so engaged the story that they do not notice the non-direct shots. As a member of the audience, I say job well done. The scene is a dramatic one, and the lack of direct shots of the mother being beaten does not take away from its emotion.
The other challenge in filming was the sexual abuse scene where young McDowell is abused by his caregiver. How do you portray something so horrific and offensive without being overly graphic? Krusen was adamant about one thing. "I was to not play this scene 'safe.' The audience," he said, "must know that Young Josh is being molested." Krusen again uses the power of suggestion to communicate the drama. As he says, "there is no room for doubt about what is taking place."
The issue of abuse, both physical and sexual, is a huge one in our society. The effects it has on children are long standing. The hope is because McDowell is so open and vulnerable about the issue it could bring it to the forefront of the Church. "Unless you're trying to raise children in a protective bubble," Krusen points out, "issues like domestic violence, alcohol and drug abuse, sexual abuse, and so forth need to be confronted as real-life issues affecting real people every day." Krusen goes on to say that the church and Christian media needs to not give audiences a "watered down" version of reality. "It seems," he says, "that the highest goal for many Christian filmmakers these days is to produce 'safe' and 'family-friendly' programming. The first goal of a filmmaker should be to tell the truth and you are not telling the truth about evil by hiding the horror of sin and its aftermath." Krusen does not advocate, however, the senseless graphic portrayal of true events. Instead, there is need for balance in storytelling, as long as the jeopardy, the trouble, the danger of something in the story is not removed. "If you're trying to reach the lost," he told me, "stop preaching to the choir."
In the film, Young Josh turns away from God. As a college student he meets a group of students who are Christians. Even though he doesn't believe in God, they do not beat him over the head with the Bible to get him to believe. They leave an open invitation to him. Over time, McDowell will have so many questions about faith and God, he travels to Europe to seek answers. I was extremely impressed with this aspect of McDowell's life. Too many people will either accept blindly what others tell them, or they become so discouraged by the questions that they walk away from faith.
One of the hopes of the film is that people who are questioning their faith will inspire individuals and communities of faith to respond differently to doubting and questioning. Krusen hopes that young people will respond favorably to the film's honesty. Overall, he hopes that people will catch a glimmer of God's great love for them. As he says, "No one is beyond the pale; no one is removed from the grace of God."
Krusen is currently developing an evangelistic film for the Balkans and is also preparing for the shooting of 33 Hope, a feature film based on the early life of the apostle Paul.

Impairments That May Qualify You for Social Security Disability Payments
Many people start their careers with the idea that they will remain in that same industry until they retire, but some people find that they have medical conditions that prevent them from working. Though you might assume that Social Security pays out for those born with certain disabilities, it also covers medical conditions that occur later in life. You'll need to meet some requirements and file for your payments, which usually requires finding a lawyer to file for you. It's helpful to look at some of the conditions that may help you get payments from the government.
Mental Disorders
It wasn't that long ago that the government denied Social Security to those suffering from mental disorders, but the law now allows those suffering from some conditions to see disability coverage. Depression is one of the more common disorders covered, but the government will also cover schizophrenia, anxiety disorders and other …

Microdiscectomy (or Laminotomy / Discectomy) is a "minimally invasive" outpatient procedure commonly used to treat symptomatic lumbar herniated discs and sciatica. Success rates are extremely high with results routinely in the 90-95% excellent range. Microdiscectomy is considered the "gold standard" treatment for persistent symptomatic lumbar herniated discs and sciatica.
Microdiscectomy is a "minimally invasive" technique that uses a very small incision which minimizes trauma to normal tissues, and maximizes quick recovery. Microdiscectomy can dramatically relieve the radiating leg pain, numbness and muscle weakness caused by lumbar disc herniations. It is quite common for our patients to report significant reductions in leg pain immediately in the recovery room.
Mark Nelson, M.D. specializes in Microdiscectomy and other treatments for lumbar herniated discs and other causes of sciatica. Many of our patients are athletes or have high physical work demands, and are able to return to competitive sports and demanding work after Microdiscectomy.
Call (858) 777-7917 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Nelson and learn more about all of your treatment options.

Weight loss through reflexology is a popular and pleasurable way to lose weight. Different pressure points on your feet can be used to trigger a variety of responses within your body that may be conducive to weight loss, although current research does not offer any support for this idea.[1] While a moderate diet and exercise regimen are the best and most reliable way to lose weight,[2] you can supplement your weight loss program with reflexology. For reflexology weight loss, you need to find the pressure points that correspond to your spleen and digestive organs. Work your weight loss reflex points for at least 5 minutes every day.
Using Foot Reflex Points for Weight Loss
1Find a reflexology chart. The American Reflexology Certification Board produces reflexology charts.[3] You can also find charts online, although you should try to make sure they are from a reputable source.[4]
2Support your left foot with your right hand and use your left thumb to work the spleen reflex. (On the chart it is the oblong area indicated on the outside edge of your foot between your diaphragm line and your waistline.) Stimulation of the spleen reduces hunger.
3Work your stomach and pancreas reflex points. Cradle your left foot with your right hand and press each point with your left thumb. When you reach the outside limit of the reflex area, switch hands and work the reflex points back in the opposite direction. Stimulating these points improves your digestion.[5]
4Work the reflex point for your gall bladder. Your gall bladder stores bile, the digestive liquid continually secreted by your liver. The bile emulsifies fats in partly digested food, which is conducive to weight loss. Stimulating the gallbladder can also improve digestion.[8]
- Your gall bladder point is a small point in the larger liver reflex area on your right foot. This is just below the ball of your sole, toward the outside of your foot.[9]
5Energize your key endocrine glands. This will promote balanced hormone secretion and appropriate appetite. Your endocrine glands are responsible for your response to stress, so applying pressure to the reflex points for your thyroid (at the base of your big toe), pituitary gland (in the center of the bottom of your big toe) and your adrenals (between your waistline and your diaphragm line) will help balance your emotional and physiological stress. The less stress you have, the better chance you have to stay on your diet.[10]
6Get a good night's sleep every night by working on your relaxation responses. Studies suggest that reflexology can be very helpful for improving your sleep quality.[14]
- Work your right thumb across the diaphragm line, from the inside to the outside edge of your left foot.
- While you are doing this, rock your toes back and forth across your left thumb.
- Edge your right thumb along your diaphragm line each time you bend your toes over.
Using Hand Reflex Points for Weight Loss
1Use hand reflexology on the go. Hand reflexology for weight loss is ideal for people on the go or for those times when it is not possible for you to remove your shoes and socks to give yourself foot reflexology. Refer to the hand chart to locate the key reflex points on your hands that help facilitate weight loss.
2Work the same organ and gland reflex points in your hands as you do for your feet. Locate the exact pressure points on the hand chart for your: spleen (below your little finger on your left hand), digestive organs (below the lung and breast area on both hands), gall bladder (the pad under the little finger on your right hand) and key endocrine glands (middle and base of your thumbs on both hands).[15]
3Apply a firmer pressure to the reflex points on your hands. Press deeply, but not so deeply that you feel pain. You will also need to hold the pressure for longer than you would on your foot.[16]
- Use a single finger or your thumb to apply pressure.
4Edge or "creep" forward in minute stages. Move as if you are pressing pins into a pincushion, and maintain permanent contact with your skin. The reflexes in your hands are located in a much smaller area than on your feet, so work slowly and methodically over all the appropriate areas.[17]
Community Q&A
- Using reflexology to lose weight shouldn't be a total replacement for other weight loss initiatives; it should be used as a complement to them.
- It is advisable to devise a diet and exercise program to help you achieve your weight loss goals through reflexology.
- You can also consult an ear reflexology chart to find the same reflex points that correspond to your body's systems that will help you lose weight.
- If you've chosen to use a professional practitioner to lose weight with reflexology, you can still supplement your sessions with self-reflexology several times a week. Your reflexologist can help you come up with a plan to help you between sessions. This will vary depending on your weight loss goals, the condition of your body, your stress levels (which can actually tell your body to hold onto fat), and the length of time you've been above your desired weight.
- Weight loss is accelerated and your ideal weight is easier to maintain if you get at least 7 hours of sleep every night.
- Reflexology therapy is not advisable for people who have the following conditions: deep vein thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, osteoarthritis, cellulitis on the feet or legs, acute infection with a high fever, strokes and unstable pregnancy.[18]
- If you have a foot fracture, unhealed foot wound, or active gout in the foot, do not have reflexology.[19]

At the end of a long week, you'd think the zoo would closed, the keepers would go home, and the animals would settle in for a snooze before a busy weekend. But maybe not, 'cause there's a very special part of the zoo, the ZSL Gir Lion Lodges allow you to see the zoo when it's just you..!
A stay at a ZSL Gir Lion Lodge allows you to enter the zoo from 4.30pm, but the experience itself starts at 6, when the zoo has closed for the night. I dashed to meet Angie one very warm and sunny Friday and as soon as we checked into our lodge, we toasted with cool glasses of prosecco to our exciting evening ahead!
Over our glasses of fizz we met our guides for evening, who explained the Gir Lion Experience! Many people know about African lions, but did you know that there are Asiatic lions, too? There aren't that many of them but those you can find are living in the Gir Forest in India.
As you enjoy your bubbles, you can explore Gir Village, which is just outside the lion enclosure and has been fully made up to immerse you in this very special Indian village. From rows and rows of flip flips, shoes and fabrics…
To fruit stalls!
Once glasses are drained, you're taken past the train station and up to see some of the other jungle inhabitants – monkeys!
With every little detail taken care of (and in our case, even the weather!) you'd definitely be forgiven for thinking you'd left London for the evening!
It's hard to visit this little village without seeing one of the houses, and so feel free to pop into the Patel household which happens to have some very special neighbours…
The house has been positioned close enough to the lions to replicate exactly how close their house would be to wild lions in Sasan Gir. Safe to say – they're close!
In this pride of 4, there are three females and one male, Bhanu! Lions are supremely sleepy creatures and love to spend hours and hours on end sleeping, so yo might have to have a little search to see them! Fortunately for us, one of the females was up and about when we arrived!
After looking at these beautiful animals, one of our guides brought us back to the Gir Forest to tell us all about what life is like for these Asiatic lions. I loved that there was a replica National Park jeep, complete with its own little lion!
I was so interested to hear about Gir National Park's attitude to preserving the relationship between lions and humans in the area. They operate a three strike policy in case of any issues between lions and the human population, and at the end of their third strike, the lion is put into a breeding program and taken away from the area, allowing it to continue its life, just in a different place.
I was so pleased to hear all about the preservation work ZSL is doing, and that the ZSL Gir Lion Lodges contribute to. They send team members from London to the Gir National Forest to help train locals, provide equipment and help injured lions. Not just that, but they're also helping the staff at Sakkarburg Zoo in Gujarat to learn about best practices in animal breeding and care.
Before our evening tour, there was just enough time to nip back to our cute wooden lodges to drop some more belongings and refresh a little before our evening activities!
Each lodge comes complete with a little patio that's perfect for a cup of tea!
ZSL isn't just for animal lovers, if you're an architecture lover, you'll be pleased to know there are 12 listed buildings in the zoo! One is the historic penguin enclosure with its slides which are meant to look like plane propellers (as our guide pointed out – we're slightly unsure why as a penguin is a flightless bird!)
As you walk past these fluffy fellows…
…you're off to see the Pygymy Hippos! Angie and I were both expecting an animal about the size of a micro pig but er, these are slightly bigger… Coming in at an average 300kg I think they're slightly above micro status, don't you think?!
Pygymy hippos are solitary creatures, but ones who like to know there is someone nearby. With that in mind ZSL keep their hippos in two slightly separate areas, but rotate them every so often to allow them to smell each other's scent.
Wandering through the zoo on a warm summer evening, past the wild dogs…
…you'll soon come to Pumba's enclosure! Er, I mean the warthogs! As you feed them watch them dart around at impressively quick speeds and watch other people on boat rides down the river looking in at the animals.
Having fed the animals, and worked up an appetite on our walk round the zoo it was time for dinner! I think we both wished that dinner had been a little closer to the lions, or at least in the area around the ZSL Gir Lion Lodges, but sadly the setting wasn't that special.
One other thing to note is that there's also no alcohol in the lodges, though you can order some drinks with your dinner.
One thing that I thought was great was being able to see the nocturnal animals. Normally since the zoo is open in the day, I'm not sure how much of them you would get to see, but it was great being able to feed the aardvarks and give them a little enrichment. Enrichment is a way of giving animals the kind of experiences they would have in the wild, so not just feeding them, but making sure they scavenge for their food, for example.
With a dark night closing in, it was time for us daylight animals to head back to our lodges and sleep! Be warned, if you're a light sleeper I'd pack ear plugs as the macaws around the corner are probably going to wake you up in the middle of the night!
Waking up the next morning, it's a great time to try and catch a glimpse of the lions before breakfast!
After breakfast, well, this was possibly the part I was most excited about…
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I love penguins. I used to love visiting them at Edinburgh Zoo as a child (you have to see the penguin parade – trust me!) and it's one of my dreams to visit Boulder Beach in South Africa.
And you bet I was going to take advantage of having these amazing creatures so close to my home for the night – especially when no one else was in the zoo yet!
London Zoo plays home to cute little Humboldt penguins, who are native to South America, meaning their enclosure has been recreated with rocky beaches rather than icebergs.
Watch them swim underwater… and just generally be very cute!
After tearing myself away from my favourites, it was time to hear all about feeding the animals, and be taken into the keeper only side of the zoo.
Before we knew it, the doors were opened at our special access to the zoo had ended. If you've booked the ZSL Gir Lion Lodge experience you can still have a whole day in the zoo – but just not on your own!
We were guests of ZSL to experience the Gir Lion Lodges.

38" Car Dog Cage
Our design patented folding car dog cage is the only one specially designed for hatchback and estate type cars. The unique sloped design helps the dog cage fit within the boot of your car while maximising the boot space available.
A standard dog cage that is not designed for a car has several drawbacks for car use including, front opening doors that do not open past the lip of the boot and the rectangular shape can impede the closure of the hatchback and risk cracking or smashing the rear window.Spec
- Lightweight and strong zinc steel cage, we have found that powder coated cages chip and rust easily
- Completely folds flat, for storage and transportation also usable inside the home
- Secure sliding bolt on the door
- Construction allows for proper ventilation and visibility
- Puppies often get travel sick and have a tendency to be sick and go to the toilet in your car. Having a car dog cage stops the mess running all over your boot; the tray can be removed and easy cleaned
- Brand new waterproof removable tray for easy cleaning (Beware of plastic trays dog chew them and metal trays create an awful rattling noise)
- Free anti slip bedding
- If you take a long trip in the summer you can open the boot and have the knowledge you dog is safely enclosed inside the cage whilst getting some fresh air
- Fits a wide range of hatchback style cars
- The top of the cage is spring loaded, this is to aid in releasing the dog from inside the car in case of a accident (the whole cage is safely collapsible to get the dog out and over the back seat)
Approximate external dimensions 97cm wide 68cm height 65cm depth at the base
*Please remember to check the shown dimensions against your vehicle and pet to ensure they will be comfortable*
