"We've gone into an experimental context on the most vulnerable people in the world, and put them in a commodification posture where we're monetizing and trading their data." —Nathaniel Raymond1
Spotify can now recommend songs better than your closest friends and family, Facebook can market products through targeted ads better than any Super Bowl advertisement (and much more cheaply), and Gmail can finish your sentences. We are continuing to aggregate data and develop machine-learning capabilities that clearly have social benefit, but not without cost. In the past few years, issues have manifested in the cyber domain that expose vulnerabilities in human rights as we currently define them. Additionally, in the existing iteration, international rule of law is ill-equipped to handle digital exploitation of peoples and nations.
Examples of big data's dark side are omnipresent. The risks became apparent to Americans after the 2016 presidential election, when bots controlled by Russian intelligence targeted U.S. voters to influence the election outcome and Cambridge Analytica's use of social media behavior to predict voter preferences raised concerns about freedom.2 Facebook came under increased scrutiny in 2018 when it admitted that Myanmar military personnel used its services to incite genocide against the Rohingya population. The company acknowledged that it "can and should do more" to limit the spread of hate and incitement of violence through its platforms.3 China, meanwhile, in a move straight out of Black Mirror, is developing a system of mass surveillance known as the Social Credit System, which will track the daily activities of every person and company in China to develop their level of "trustworthiness." Participation in the system will be mandatory by 2020.4
The 1949 Geneva Conventions established the international standards for human rights law and jus in bello in the aftermath of World War II. When it comes to cyberspace, though, the international standards that were developed after the most physically destructive war in recent history have vague transference. What constitutes "doing more" in Facebook's case, and who determines the definition of ethical and legal use?
Nathaniel Raymond, a lecturer at the Yale Jackson Institute for Global Affairs, has been fighting for the development of data regulations for humanitarian aid workers since 2016, when he co-authored The Signal Code—a rights-based approach to humanitarian information. In a conversation with him, we discussed his recent work in applying international legal standards to the current information age.
The Data Commodification Battle Lab
In the humanitarian space, where big data has shown immense value for administering aid to vulnerable populations, Raymond believes ungoverned cyberspace may allow exploitation of both aid recipient populations and aid workers. His belief is that we've created "a 'battle lab' for governments and corporations involving high-vulnerability, high-risk data use cases, and market expansion, often for for-profit, private-sector products."
One example of an ethical "grey zone" relating to humanitarian aid data is the recent partnership between the World Food Programme (WFP), the UN's food-assistance program, and Palantir Technologies. Palantir was founded by Peter Thiel using funding from In-Q-Tel (the CIA's venture capital arm), and links together information across U.S. intelligence services.5 Some practitioners, such as Raymond, see Palantir's business practices, lack of transparency, and allegiances to the intelligence community as risks to individual privacy for the 90 million people that the WFP serves.6 For example, use of iris-recognition software for the distribution of food allotments in refugee camps, rather than the physical identification cards of yesterday, can be exploited to identify target populations for future ethnic war or genocide.
Private-sector involvement does not automatically lead to malpractice, but Raymond believes that the current lack of data governance may lend itself to an era of "data colonialism, where data is being brokered between civil society, governments, [and] private sector organizations. Sometimes it's being brokered for cash, sometimes it's being brokered for access—access to other technologies or the means of processing. Sometimes it's being brokered even for additional data." Raymond sees outdated data protection regulations as the most concerning issue. He believes that current regulations that protect personally identifiable information are not sufficient in an arena that relies on aggregated demographically identifiable information to create predictive data about groups. Under current regulation, it is possible to target a specific demographic for information operations campaigns based on its likelihood to take a specific action. Looking forward, he posited, "It's that absence of group data protections that will, whether we fill that or don't fill that gap, determine the future of human freedom in the twenty-first century."7
Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS)
Aid recipients are not the only ones vulnerable to potential cyber exploitation. Raymond also sees gaps in the protections offered to international aid workers. The Fourth Geneva Convention provides protection for international aid workers, and by extension, provides protected status to their civilian objects such as hospitals. Civilians and civilian objects are mutually exclusive of combatants and military objects—once a civilian gains combatant status, they forfeit their protections as a civilian. For example, U.S. targeting protocols state that a dual-use structure can be targeted if it poses a threat to military personnel—if the enemy uses a hospital as a defensive fighting position, that hospital no longer has status as a civilian object per Article 52 of Additional Protocol I.8 Military personnel can engage the hospital in accordance with the rules of proportionality and the requirement to take precautions in attack. But what constitutes an attack on a civilian object and how do these rules apply to cyber attacks? This ambiguity puts civilians in war zones who rely on cyber infrastructure at risk.
In order to address this ambiguity, Raymond explains, we need to change our conception of humanitarian space. "When we say 'humanitarian space' in terms of protection of aid workers now, [we mean] you can't bomb a hospital or you should not bomb a hospital under international humanitarian law," he says. "Where I think we're going to go is that we will start treating servers, infrastructure, mobile networks…as equal to facilities and vehicles."9
In April and May 2007, cyber activists and hackers attacked Estonia in a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. In this type of cyber attack, the perpetrator uses multiple devices to flood the target network with superfluous requests. This overloads the system, rendering services inaccessible.10 The DDoS attack exploited Estonia's reliance on the internet, paralyzing banking services and government operations. After-action reports concluded that the damage could have been worse—hackers could have shut down the power grid, water services, and other critical infrastructure.11 The attack on Estonia raised multiple questions about the use of force, attribution, and civilian protection under current Geneva Conventions. For example, does a DDoS attack on a power grid constitute a human rights violation if that grid powers a hospital? This is precisely the type of attack that Russian hackers employed in Ukraine in 2015 and again in 2016, when they targeted electrical distribution facilities in Kiev and the western Ivano-Frankivsk region.12
In the wake of the attacks on Estonia and Ukraine, the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence convened an international group of experts to develop rules and applications of international law for the cyber domain. The Tallinn Manual, named after the Estonian city that was attacked in 2007, helps pave a way forward. Regarding an attack on a power grid, the international group of experts determined the following:
Whenever an attack on data foreseeably results in the injury or death of individuals or damage or destruction of physical objects, those individuals or objects constitute the 'object of attack' and the operation, therefore, qualifies as an attack. Further, as discussed below, an operation against data upon which the functionality of physical objects relies can sometimes constitute an attack.
Within the International Group of Experts, there was extensive discussion about whether interference by cyber means with the functionality of an object constitutes damage or destruction for the purposes of this Rule…., a majority of them was of the view that interference with functionality qualifies as damage if restoration of functionality requires replacement of physical components. Consider a cyber operation that is directed against the computer-based control system of an electrical distribution grid. The operation causes the grid to cease operating. In order to restore distribution, either the control system or vital components thereof must be replaced. The cyber operation is an attack for the majority.13
Thus, a cyber attack that causes injury or death of individuals or physical destruction of a civilian object (such as a hospital) would constitute a human rights violation if the targeted network is not dual-use. For dual-use, the Tallinn Manual states the following:
The object and purpose of this Rule is to clarify the issue of 'dual use' objects, since it is often the case that civilian and military users share computers, computer networks, and other cyber infrastructure. By this Rule, any use or intended future use effectively contributing to military action renders an object a military objective so long as its destruction, capture, or neutralisation offers a definite military advantage in the circumstances ruling at the time (Rule 100). As a matter of law, status as a civilian object and military objective cannot coexist; an object is either one or the other. This principle confirms that all dual-use objects and facilities are military objectives, without qualification.14
Although the Tallinn Manual clarifies international law in the context of cyber operations, it is not a legally binding document. Some rules outlined by the Manual, such as the one above, are also more permissive than humanitarian aid workers would like. The ways in which an aggressor defines "intended future use contributing to military action" may still predispose civilians to unnecessary military retaliation. Raymond argues that international regulations which can be used to prosecute state and non-state actors must be developed to prevent the exploitation of legal ambiguity.
International Data Use Regulations
Differing opinions regarding data regulation policy for the humanitarian space have made it difficult to update legal standards. According to Raymond, data protection regulation is a "hot coal" that no one wants to hold. Each international and domestic agency wants a different degree of regulation, and no one agrees on what that regulation should look like.
Generally speaking, there are three broad camps of people when it comes to data protection: 1) those who say additional data protection regulation should not be pursued, 2) those who believe we should create new laws, and 3) those who are attempting to extend current international law to the cyber domain. Raymond says he falls into the last camp, and is actively working with international organizations to translate what is already available into current practice. This would go a step further than the Tallinn Manual by creating a binding legal statute.
Status of Data Agreements
One way in which Raymond sees potential to shape future data security is to use the accepted precedent of Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA) and apply it to data, which he calls Status of Data Agreements (SODA). SOFAs are bilateral or multilateral agreements in which nations outline the framework for military personnel and operations in a country. For example, the SOFA between the United States and Afghanistan outlines where and when the United States may conduct operations for humanitarian assistance, military training/exercises, and responses to terrorism.15
Raymond believes we can use a similar framework to encourage responsible data protections for humanitarian crises. In a SODA between two or more countries, the countries would agree upon the uses of data and data protection regulations in accordance with humanitarian law. This would outline what a country can and cannot do in another country regarding the use of data. It would also streamline data agreements for humanitarian organizations—rather than creating multiple, redundant bilateral agreements with government organizations, countries can use the SODA template for cyber operations in each country. This framework would also allow countries to abide by their respective biometric registration requirements (such as those to identify persons under sanction by the United States from the Office of Foreign Assets Control), in a way "that doesn't violate international humanitarian law, the refugee convention, and our [humanitarian aid community] principles. Right now, it's not that we are [violating any of these], it's that we don't even know if we are."16
The War on Trust
In 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Yuval Noah Harari outlines fears that data is becoming the world's most powerful commodity. The few organizations that control data will be able to influence politics and markets to the point where the purity of democracy comes into question.17 For Raymond, this has already begun, and trust in democratic institutions has suffered because of it. Recent election meddling and cyber attacks by Russia, the use of a social credit score in China, and Facebook's exploitation by military officials in Myanmar all show a shift in the relationship between people, technology, and the state. To restore this trust, Raymond argues nations need to outline clear data protection laws and avoid the current ambiguous status of demographically identifiable information:
"I believe [it] is going to be those who control regulation or control the relevance which regulation and norms have [who will control the world]. We're in a moment now where we're in the middle of the Third World War on trust. And it's a trust of institutions, of infrastructure, of communities, of each other. And either we restore trust, or those who can fracture the means by which we create trust will."18

Pork Dinuguan Recipe is an acquired taste. This dish is made up of pig (PORK) and pig's blood which gives it its blackish color. Fans of this dish like the texture and the sourness spiciness of this stew. However, for some, the idea of having something black stuck in one's teeth and the idea of eating blood just makes people retch. That doesn't stop its lovers from loving the dish though.
The most important ingredient of Dinuguan recipe is obviously the pig's (pork) blood. Pork blood is used in many other Asian cuisines either as coagulated blood acting as a meat extender or as a mixture for the broth itself. Pork Dinuguan is the latter.
Pork Dinuguan Recipe and Preparation Tips (Method 1)
- To cook this exciting dish, one needs pork, pig's blood, and pig's intestines. You can all buy this in the wet market. As for the intestines, always ask the butcher to clean the intestines first before giving it to you. Upon arriving, you can actually still choose to clean the intestines and giving it a boil inside a pot together with salt and ginger to eliminate the strong odor.
- Once you're all set, saute onion, garlic, and ginger then add the pork. You can actually add any part of the pork in this dinuguan recipe. What is important is the blood and the intestines. Add some water to add more consistency once the blood is added at let this mixture simmer for 5 – 8 minutes. You then add the blood, stirring it to stop the blood from coagulating. Add salt, pepper, and vinegar to achieve that sour taste that most people love about dinuguan. Add more vinegar as per your liking.
- Let the dish simmer for 10 to 20 minutes. After which you put in on a large ceramic bowl and garnish it with long green chilies and serve with its partner, puto.
- As you can see, apart from cleaning the intestines, this dinuguan recipe is easy to do. Try adding it in your to-cook list and blow yourself away with this interesting dish.

Hi all
Today I have a new project to share with you all, This project I have loved working on and been super excited to show you, I couldn't help but make two to show you how different they can look.
Eastern Palace and Fresh Florals Travellers Notebooks
The covers have been made from the beautiful designer series papers and then laminated and trimmed down.
I will first show you the Eastern Palace one and explain what I have used I will also include a list of supplies at the end of this post which will be linked to my Stampin' Up! store.
Inside there is four notebooks and each one has its very own cover which has been made from the Eastern Palace Designer Series Papers, The covers have not been attached permanently to the notebooks, so the notebooks can be taken out easily and changed once filled.
Notebook 1
Notebook 2 with pocket
Notebook 3
Notebook 4
The back of the Travellers Notebook
As you can see above at the back I have attached a pocket again made from the same designer series papers, and in this pocket is four page markers made from the matching card stock in the following colours Tranquil Tide and Fresh Fig each one has been decorated with the designer series papers and a tab has been added which has been made using the Tabs for Everything Bundle
The page markers are as follows: Goals, To Do, Don't Forget and Notes, I have also added some sticky notes in the pocket which are from my own stash. Throughout I have attached some very cute Star paperclips again from my own stash.
Now lets take a look at the Fresh Florals version
On this one I have attached a Berry Burst ribbon bow onto the elastic which keeps the TN closed.
Lets take a look at the inside, I have done a few different things on the inside of this one
As you can see there is a pocket on the front and then before we reach the first notebook there is a dashboard which wraps around the first notebook. This dashboard has been made from laminating pouches and the inside designs can be taken out as and when you like and changed you could even add photographs. In the front of this I have used one of the Memories and More Cards from the Perfect Days collection.
Notebook 1
On this notebook I have attached a pocket on the front of it and added the page markers into it. You can also see the other side of the dashboard which has some of the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper.
Back of the Dashboard and Notebook 2. On the cover of this notebook I have also added a vellum overlay which can also be decorated by stamping and heat embossing onto it.
Notebook 3 has a pocket on the front
Notebook 4 again I have added a velum overlay onto this one
The back of Notebook 4 and the TN - Another pocket right at the back on the inside of the cover
Closer look at the page markers and the dashboard. The age markers have been made from Lemon Lime Twist Card stock and Berry Burst Card stock then decorated with the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper. The dashboard is a two pocket dashboard so you can have four photographs in or four different designer series papers and so on.
The possibilities with these beautiful TN'S is endless you could do so much and add as many accessories as you like, you could even personalise it. They make great gifts and are very handy to have in your bag.
A Laminator, Elastic, Notebooks, Accessories (paperclips, mini sticky notes, corner punch)

Apple sets a mystery, releases iOS 10 without an encrypted core
James Walker
Jun 22, 2016 in
Last week, Apple released a developer's preview of iOS 10, the latest update to its ubiquitous mobile operating system. Researchers have since discovered the kernel has been left unencrypted, allowing developers to investigate what lies in the core.
Previous iOS releases have included encrypted kernels. Encryption prevents developers from reading the code used to build the system components of iOS. The kernel of an operating system can be likened to its heart, containing vital code that keeps the software running.
By leaving the kernel unencrypted, developers are able to access this code and find out what lies at the centre of iOS. Apple hasn't publicly commented on the change and its own developer documentation makes no reference to iOS 10 having an unencrypted kernel. It was revealed in a report by the
MIT Technology Review
Some people have speculated that Apple may be inviting researchers to assess the iOS kernel and look for security flaws. By giving the kernel more exposure than is usual, it could find more potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers. These could then be fixed before the public release.
An alternative theory along the same lines suggests Apple wants external researchers
to help
it find entry points into iOS. Earlier this year, the FBI successfully broke into an iPhone during the high-profile case against a gunman in the San Bernardino shooting. The FBI has refused to share details of the exploit with Apple. The company may be trying to find how the agency obtained access by inviting the outside world to help it in its search.
Apple hasn't commented on the matter. In a report,
the BBC said
it "understands" that Apple isn't trying to get researchers to find new security flaws though. It referenced unnamed sources that contacted the news site.
The unencrypted kernel has already thrown up some interesting discoveries. One researcher, Mathew Solnik,
found a
previously unknown mechanism that prevents the kernel from being modified by external code. Bugs in systems like this could allow attackers to break into devices. With the code out in the wild, people will have more chance to study it and find ways around it.
Opinion remains split on why Apple has left the kernel unencrypted in iOS 10. In the
words of
Jonathan Levin, the
author of
a book on iOS' inner workings, the company may have "screwed up royally," accidentally releasing a development version without encryption in a major oversight.
This seems increasingly improbable though. If this was the case, Apple would have almost certainly withdrawn the preview by now and released a new build with an encrypted kernel. It appears to have intentionally released the software in its unencrypted form but its motivations remain a point of contention. Both Levin and Solnik agree that this seems to be a planned move.
Without kernel encryption, iOS is undoubtedly easier to study and break into. With the San Bernardino lawsuit still in recent memory, Apple may well be intending to strengthen its defences against the government by making iOS bugs more discoverable.
The fact that the FBI found an external source capable of unlocking the device confirms there are people who can unravel Apple's software. By removing the encryption, Apple can level the playing field, reducing the power of the growing
shady industry
that sells exploit kits to governments.
Whether iOS 10 will ship with an unencrypted kernel remains to be seen. Apple is likely to lock it up again before releasing the update to consumers though, giving developers a brief glance into the operating system's insides.

Today we celebrate Palm Sunday, also known as Passion Sunday. We hear the proclamation of the Passion. This year it is according to the Gospel of Matthew. The Passion story is full of drama, intrigue, confrontation, violence, brutality, conflict and passion. What there is not so much of is blood and gore. Unlike some movies about the Passion of Christ that emphasize the physical goriness of crucifixion, St. Matthew makes it only a passing comment: "After they had crucified him…" There is no dwelling on the act of crucifixion.
The emphasis of the Gospel writers is not on the intensity of the pain and suffering, but rather on the mental attitude and inner disposition of Jesus. The point is the interior fidelity of Jesus to the Will of God. It is captured beautifully in Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, when Jesus prays, "My Father, if it is not possible that this cup pass without my drinking it, your will be done!"
This attitude is called obedience. Jesus saves us not by the amount He suffered, but by His complete obedience to the Will of the Father. It is not the Father's Will that Jesus suffer horribly, but rather that Jesus remain faithful no matter what. And that is what Jesus does. By His obedience to the Father's Will, Jesus effects His sacrifice.
Sacrifice is not ultimately about suffering or pain. The English word sacrifice comes from two Latin words, "sacra" (meaning holy or sacred) and "facere" (meaning to make). Sacrifice is really about "making holy." Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is not about how much he suffered, but about how totally in tune with the Father's Will Jesus was, or in other words, how obedient Jesus was.
Jesus saved us not by hurting a lot, but rather by healing the wound of our refusal to recognize God as Creator and ourselves as creatures and then going off doing our own thing, disobedient to the Will of God. Jesus makes it possible, even in the very worst of circumstances, even in crucifixion, to remain faithful and obedient to God. That is Jesus' real sacrifice.
This is also called a "sacrifice of praise," because to recognize God as God, and conform ourselves to God's Will, is really the highest form of praise. This is also how the Mass is a sacrifice. We are all invited to associate ourselves with the one sacrifice of Jesus in adopting interiorly Jesus' attitude of obedience, recognizing God as God, and ourselves as beloved children of God.
Have a blessed Passion Sunday!

When the hero is in a fight against seemingly impossible odds, it never occurs to the bad guys to attack the lone hero simultaneously. Instead, they go at it one at a time, allowing the protagonist to handily deal with them one by one.
In real life, all it takes is one well-placed punch or kick to the head for someone to go unconscious. In movies, major characters can last 10-15 minutes being pummeled in the head with fists, bottles, furniture, bats and other weapons and remain unfazed.

Keeping the shaft glued to the outside of your right arm trains you for Tour-like power. Use this drill from Top 100 teacher Dale Abraham to master the art of the "delayed hit" and pound drives like never before.
Your drives go pfft because you waste speed early in your downswing instead of storing it for impact. To fix the problem, lay your driver against the outside of your right arm, just below your shoulder. It's okay for your right hand to drop slightly off the handle.
Settle into your regular stance, keeping the driver on your right arm. Once you're set, rotate your shoulders away from the target and to the top of your backswing. Keep the shaft glued to your sleeve. Now unwind. Your first move? Rotate your hips, keeping everything else in place.
Now begin to unwind your abdomen, sternum and shoulders. (To get the right feel, do it in slow motion and in this sequence.) Keep the shaft on your right arm! Ultimately, you'll be forced to release it at the bottom of your swing — and with the maximum amount of speed. Remember: The deeper you can unwind without prematurely releasing the club, the faster you'll swing.

One of the horror genre's most beloved franchises will return to the big screen later this year with the release of David Gordon Green's Halloween, and all eyes are on The Shape to recapture the holiday-themed creepiness that made John Carpenter's original so fantastic. There's a lot of anticipation building up to the film, and according to returning star Jamie Lee Curtis: we should be prepared for a terrifying ordeal that honors the first movie's portrayal of Michael Myers. In a recent interview, Curtis explained:
I've seen a trailer and I've seen some footage, and it's terrifying. They went full-tilt boogeyman. And I've never said that in my life, and I will say full-tilt boogeyman for the rest of the year as I go around talking about this.
If you're familiar with the original Halloween, then that promise of a "boogeyman" should get you excited. As Jamie Lee Curtis explained in her recent comments, the film will operate in the same vein as the original by framing Michael Myers as an inhuman embodiment of evil. Unlike later movies in the franchise that attempted to humanize Michael or give him a tragic backstory (particularly by making him the victim of a bizarre cult ritual or a rough family upbringing), this version of the story will apparently lean heavily on the ideas planted by John Carpenter back in 1978.
This tease of a "terrifying" Halloween reboot is even more exciting due to the fact that the marketing for the film has started to heat up. In fact, just yesterday Blumhouse released the first official poster for Halloween, teasing the aged and cracked look of Michael Myers' classic mask. Producer Jason Blum also recently spoke out about how good he feels about the footage that he has seen, so it seems that Halloween insiders are generally very excited about what the film has in store.
Halloween takes place forty years after the events of the original. Seemingly ignoring all of the other sequels (not to mention the other Rob Zombie reboots), the film will find Laurie Strode as she continues to cope with the fallout of Halloween 1978 as Michael Myers returns for one more horrific rampage -- not unlike the events of Halloween: H20 from 1998. Elsewhere in Jamie Lee Curtis' interview with Yahoo Movies, she explained that Halloween would feel like a retelling of the events of the original (with Laurie Strode's granddaughter apparently playing a pivotal role), so fans can look forward to something with a healthy amount of the classic Halloween DNA that has become so utterly iconic over the years.
David Gordon Green's Halloween reboot will debut in theaters later this year on October 19. Mark the horror flick's release date down on your calendar, and make sure to keep a close eye on our 2018 movie premiere guide to keep yourself up-to-date on all of this year's biggest releases.

6 Facts About Shades Everyone Thinks Are True
Simple Ways To Choose Window Shades We've all dreamt of having or building our dream
Simple Ways To Choose Window Shades We've all dreamt of having or building our dream home. We literally think of everything from the decorations, accessories, style and even the color. But still, we fail at times to pay attention to the small details that'll make our dream home completely different. Among the small details I am referring to is being able to choose the appropriate window shades for your house. Yes it's true that they may be a minute detail but if you fail to pay attention to this, it can potentially affect or even totally change the atmosphere you are aiming for your house. Plain windows have the ability of making your house to look unfinished, which is something that no homeowner likes to happen. As you read the next lines, you will discover different factors that you may have to take into consideration when searching and selecting the right window shades and accessories for your home.
A Simple Plan For Researching Products
Consider the type of the room – the rooms in your house will have unique coverings for it like for example, craft rooms need something that enables sufficient natural lighting to pass through, in children's room, it can be installed with tough blinds and ideal or required type for bathroom is something that ensures privacy while being resistant to the possibility of moisture buildup.
A Brief Rundown of Curtains
Make it as extension of the room – perfect window treatments must be something that looks as if it is just a natural extension of the room. There are some homeowners who tend to purchase same shades for their rooms and some are buying different shades for every room they have in their house. If you think that this is something that is too expensive for your budget, you can try doing it slowly on one room first then on the other and next. Room decoration – the visual appeal of the room can actually help you in selecting what shade for it. If you wish to create a luxurious appeal and feeling, you might want to consider patterned vertical blinds, if you want window shades that can easily fit to any space, then the aluminum and low cost mini blinds will work perfect for you but if you prefer western theme or plantation style, you may try the natural, horizontal wood blinds. Take note of window features – things like the views you get through your windows, the location of windows in the room and the kind of light that is passing through it are vital when choosing blinds or shades. As an example, you may want to get vertical blinds if your window is overlooking a beautiful view as it can be fully closed and opened.

David Mackintosh
There are images of death and violence; of sex, bodies, torsos and limbs; of haystacks, lambs and bears in the wood. There are also images of a bird sitting on a man's head, or of a dog standing upright and spitting. Some of these images seem to be taken directly from dreams: a torero, ready to sink his last sword into the flesh of an enormous beast, faces only a tiny chicken; the roughly painted form of a head floats beneath a scrawled black cloud and the legend 'Kill Frank'.
In his drawings, his works in wood and films, David Mackintosh presents an array of impressions through which the whole world seems to reverberate. All of Mackintosh's work is based on his drawings, as all of his images are first invented on paper. Using a brush and black gouache, he explores and notes his ideas on landscape format sheets of A1 cartridge paper. He draws them in studio sessions that last many days, or even weeks. These drawing periods are times of sustained concentration on the process of visual exploration. In them, Mackintosh will produce tens and tens of drawings, but most will fall as casualties during his brutal editing. The resulting drawings are by and large placed centrally on the paper - only a few filling the format. Occasionally, a little colour is added or some text inscribed. Most of them, however, are black line drawings, but some are executed in a more painterly manner, with different concentrations of black creating both a surface and structure of beguiling depth. In Fiend, 2001, for example, what initially appears to be a crude form reminiscent of the upper part of a figure is only revealed to be the black creature of the title when the viewer is close enough to touch the drawing. The Fiend - which bears more than a passing resemblance to Saturn in Goya's painting of the God eating his children - is pulling his mouth open with his hands, as if ready to consume the viewer it has lured beyond the safe distance of the conventional gaze.
Mackintosh's visual vocabulary appears familiar but simultaneously unsettling. The encyclopaedia of his visual concern sees the machinery of war placed next to scenes of the everyday, diabolical fiends next to doomed animals, and the natural world is often overwritten with misanthropic slogans. But where do these images come from? Mackintosh explains them as the result of a "stream of consciousness". During his studio sessions, he executes one drawing after the other, thereby almost emulating serial Surrealist techniques of providing a form for the unconscious. Mackintosh believes this method allows him to access imagery that social convention may lead him to otherwise repress. And although contrary to Salvador Dalí's stance, that there is a "complete absence of interpenetration between reality and images" , rendering them unrelated and incomparable, Mackintosh's drawings are very much rooted in contemporary reality. Images of a car crash, of a caravan, or a dead body may be inventions in the sense that they are not accurate depictions of factual events. They may be altered, simplified and composed, but they are still reflections on our environment and thus in their coalescence also create a picture of it.
This picture is, however, not a literal document. It includes some very personal elements, like dreams and fantasies. It does also not construct a continuous narrative, as Mackintosh's drawing is not a linear development of one theme or one story - unlike, for example, Charlotte Salomon's Life? or Theatre?, which tells a largely autobiographical story in a series of 800 paintings. These drawings have no order and there is nothing but the artist's word to identify their time of production and thus a direct pictorial and historical context. As a result, every drawing is unique and independent.
There are nevertheless some recurrent themes in David Mackintosh's work. Bodies feature regularly in his drawings, as do accidents and bloodshed, and when torsos are depicted, one can never be sure whether this is because of a limitation to detail or whether the drawings show severed and violated limbs. One drawing, Portrait of Enemy, 2003, showing a man in a suit sitting at a table, is even pinned to the wall with knifes, extending the violence and danger of being a knife-thrower's target from its representation on paper into the viewer's physical reality. Another, of a little rabbit, is inscribed with "I am dead", thus counteracting the first harmless impression. On closer examination, the lines marking the fur around the rabbit's neck can also be seen as a necklace of barbed wire.
Mackintosh has described his interest in this reoccurring negativity as the result of his fascination with the human capacity for hatred. Black bombers loom in the sky; charred heads stare at us with vacant eyes; even a self-portrait of the artist shows him disfigured from being badly beaten. At a later stage some of these drawings are translated into other materials. Mackintosh executes them in fretwork or marquetry, intricately detailing the image on the hardwood board in different veneers. The legend 'You are All Bastards' is inscribed into a wooden panel above a picture of the globe. The prone figure of a dead man floats strangely in the limitless plane of another. In some of these pieces, Mackintosh creates three-dimensional objects out of two-dimensional planes, whereby the drawings' analyses of the environment again become new environments. In his recent installation Purgatory and Hell, 2003, the wooden panels were built into a space - and stage - for the cut-out figure of a pope, who seems to be bleeding from beneath his robes. In the reworking of the drawings in wood, Mackintosh plays with the prevalent notion that drawings are only a perfunctory medium, that they are only sketches. As sculptural spaces - or even just as single panels - he endows them with the weighty presence of skilled craftsmanship, without loosing the form and the ease of the original brushstrokes.
Occasionally, however, the sinister view on the world that dominates Mackintosh's work is punctuated with lighter and apparently happier moments - it is not all "fucking & killing" as one drawing of a globe is headed. There is, for example, the perfect cipher for a carefree summer afternoon: a tree with a radio playing in the grass. Or the image of someone simply walking a dog. The drawing of a baby in a basket - which references the entire history of ideas and art, going back to Moses and the Egyptians - is simply one of the most recognisable images of innocence. But how do such images function within Mackintosh's pictorial encyclopaedia? Are they the equal and opposite potential of a world all too often debased by the disease of destruction? Its idyllic alter ego? Perhaps so, but framed between the major and minor atrocities that dominate Mackintosh's drawings, they sit in painfully sharp contrast - scenes of preternatural calm before the inevitably black storm, their innocence tainted with a foreboding sense of predestiny.
David Mackintosh's drawings are documents of our visual vocabulary; they trigger our collective memory: we have seen similar objects, situations and people before; we have sometimes even seen the graphic shorthand through which they are communicated on paper. His images are almost immediately readable: they respond to our experience of the world and also to mediated visuals, which over the times have been ingrained in our brain; they depict a section of our visual knowledge. A black patch next to the head of a figure lying on the ground will inevitably be read as a pool of blood and the person as dead, even though we might have never seen such a gruesome scene in real life. But it is clear that our visual memory does not only encompass what we have experienced or seen in reality. A large part of it is formed by exposure to the plethora of narrative images that saturate our culture; from the films we watch, the photographs we look at, the picture books and comics we devoured as children, the art we have seen. Even the continuously repeated myths of fairytales and legends leave a visual memory, as our imaginations create visual representations of what we hear and read. Thus, visual memory does not only comprise of facts, but also of fantastical creatures and improbabilities – the casual violence of a city beating mixes equally with the diabolical creatures of a thousand hells. And in the imagination, these images are no less real than reality - from which they can only be discerned by logic and a learned knowledge about the essence of reality.
David Mackintosh's drawings provide a pictorial encyclopaedia of these received images. They will mean something different to every viewer, who will integrate them in their own different contexts and perceive their own narrative connections between them, each adding a new layer of contextualisation to its entirety. His vocabulary will serve as a source for many new stories and many new allusions, as the cornerstones for personal narratives, and the sequences in dreams. But despite this democracy, Mackintosh's fatalistic images are nevertheless reflections on our environment, and thus on society, as they are only possible through our expectations and experiences of the world. They are visual 'objets trouvés' that feed and feed on ourcollective visual imagination - the strands that weave the stories that are everybody's nightmare, but, perversely, are for all our pleasure.Axel Lapp is a curator and critic living in Berlin.

Today I'm looking back on an article I wrote on using the histogram to help judge good exposure. It's just as relevant today as it was a few years ago when I originally wrote it. The histogram continues to be a tool I use in every stage of my workflow from capture, through processing, and printing. I still see many students who aren't using the histogram well, in the field, and during processing. It's an excellent guide and still the best tool to see a graphical representation of the tonal information contained in an image file. If you missed it the first time, here it is again:

Tagged: lilacs, no flowers
I have three Ms.Kim Lilacs (I think that is their name) in front of my house. This year, unlike other years, they have produced very, very few lilacs. Any suggestions of what I should do?
Most of the time that something doesn't flower it's for one of three reasons: Too little light (did overhanging trees grow and cast more shade than before?); too much Nitrogen (did the adjacent lawn get nuked a lot or did you feed the bed a lot of N, which causes good green growth but limits bloom); or improperly timed pruning (pruning late summer through winter will sacrifice some of the coming spring's bloom because it removes dormant flower buds).
Any of these sound possible?
Another reason is too much heat — in hottest zones lilacs will fail to bloom; I don't know where you are located.
located on Ct/Mass line, so certainly not too much heat.
And there is no tree that could have cast more shade — so perhaps nitrogen???
Doesn't seem likely as I don't recall doing anything like that. But I will certainly keep it in mind for next season.

It was December 23, 1941 when the first Japanese warplanes attacked the Burmese port of Rangoon. It wasn't long after that, that the Japanese 15th Army began its attempted conquest of Burma. By March 8, 1942 the City of Rangoon was abandoned and the remaining troops of British General Archibald Wavell were in full retreat back to India.
The British had long thought that Burma's terrain, with it's mountains, rivers, roads and valleys which all ran basically north to south would make travel east to west for the Japanese Army difficult and the defense of Burma easier. But the speed in the Japanese advance stunned the British and very soon, both British Major General William J. Slim and American Lt. General Joseph W. Stillwell's forces in Burma were forced to withdraw from Burma.
It was during this withdrawal that a former British artillery officer, Colonel Orde C. Wingate arrived in India and he began straight away studying the terrain of Burma and tactics employed by the Japanese Army. He forwarded a report with the idea of fighting the Japanese in Burma with hit and run tactics, these to be carried out by what he called Long Range Penetration (LRP) groups and these operations were to be carried out far behind enemy lines. British General Alexander was impressed with the report and agreed that the Burmese terrain combined with Japanese tactics ruled out any direct assault on the country, but the Japanese communication and supply lines were still vulnerable to attack. To be effectual these LRP groups would have to be lightly armed, therefore they would need to be supplied by air and if they needed any additional firepower, it too would have to come from the air.
It wasn't until February 1943 that Wingate would have a chance to put to the test his LRP concept when he was given command of the 77th Indian Brigade and it's 3,000 men. Wingate was forced to begin his experiment without the benefit of an Allied offensive, which would have helped keep Japanese forces occupied, while he and his group began to carry out their first hit and run raids. Preliminary LRP raids had mixed results, two LRP columns returned to India after losing their radio's after being ambushed. Other LRP columns were more successful and had managed to blow up numerous sections of railroad tracks with minimal loses to themselves. The Japanese, on the other hand, were able to concentrate more attention on these raids, and soon LRP casualties began to mount. Add to this, poor air supply and evacuation of wounded and it wasn't long before Wingate and his LRP columns were forced to terminate their operations in Burma and withdraw back to India. Widget's exploits in Burma were reported by war correspondents and soon his group was given the name 'Chindits, after a mythological beast, half lion, half griffin, which guarded Burmese pagodas.
Supplying the Chinese to help fight the Japanese in Indo-China was a major operation at this time and the Burma Road was the major supply route into China. When the Japanese cut the Burma Road, this major supply route was lost. With this event, the only way to continue to get vital supplies into China was to fly them in over The Hump. It was to this end, the Air Transport Command began an airlift from bases in India, over The Hump, and into China. If the Burma Road could not be reopened, China might fall and the Japanese forces in the area could be redeployed to fight elsewhere in the Pacific Theater.
It was during the Quadrant Conference in Quebec Canada, (August 14-24, 1943) that Wingate proposed that his concept be expanded to include eight brigades, four for combat operations and four brigades in direct relief. President Roosevelt approved this idea and agreed to supply aircraft for support of these LRP units. The initial request by Wingate was for sixteen (16) C-47's, one bomber squadron per LRP unit for close air support and a light aircraft force for each LRP unit to he

Lawyer Experiences a Real Life Fatal Attraction
Many of us have have known or been involved with someone who has known a person who was not of sound mind. As reported by the Chicago Sun-Times, a local lawyer has had just this experience.
Christian met Alana through some friends who thought that the two would be a perfect match for each other. He was a 30 year old lawyer and she was a 25 year old dancer. He thought was gorgeous, and was smitten with her. As a matter of fact, he was so smitten that they married just six months after meeting.
Things appeared to be fine at first, but little by little she began turning Christian against his family and friends by making hints about their faults, and eventually playing the victim to their bad ways. She sabotaged all of his personal relationships with friends. She even would call them "on Christian's behalf", stating that they were bad people and telling them off.
Christian, wanting his marriage to work, remained oblivious to her eventual alienation of everyone from their lives. Christian stated that eventually he could no longer ignore the obvious. She began accusing him of having affairs and even stealing his belongings and money from him. She became physically abusive to the point of breaking his ribs, throwing knives and scissors and even boiling water in his face.
Christian did eventually file for divorce after two years of marriage, and as part of the settlement she received half of his savings as well as two years of "high maintenance" spousal support.
Going through a bad marriage is hard enough. Going through a divorce can prove to be even harder. No matter the reason for the divorce, it is in your best interest to have an experienced and aggressive Chicago divorce lawyer there to protect your interests and/or assets.
