Academician Filatov – Lev DUROV This is my place, move over. Mishka's taken my place. What's this row?
Mind your table manners. C'mon, sit down, sit down. We've gathered here today to mark the fortieth birthday of our Pavlik, who 27 years ago flew off to the far-off Cassiopeia
constellation. Each year,
we gather at this table. We're doing our best
to keep everything here as it was when
our Pavlik lived in this room. Though now he is already
Pavel Kondratyevich Kozelkov. The briefcase, with which
P.K. Kozelkov loved to go to school The nails P.K. Kozelkov
loved to hammer in Visitors' Book Let's drink to good luck, so that it should always
accompany our Pavlik in everything. Who are you? Please excuse
my sudden intrusion, but I deemed it my duty
to congratulate your family with the birthday
of Pavel Kondratyevich Kozelkov, the first pilot of "Dawn". Excuse me, but who are you? Well, I know who he is. How should I explain it… I'm performing special
duties in this whole story. Listen, pal… – I'm, you know, A.S.A.
– What? Acting specially as.
A.S.A. In my line of duty, I was closely
connected to the crew of "Dawn" and, particularly, to your son,
dear Antonina… Don't be shy. You see, I'm tangible, quite
material, so everything's all right. Dear Antonina Alekseyevna
and Kondraty Panteleimonovich. Why are you having 40 candles here? Pavlik was 13 when he flew away. It was 27 years ago.
27 plus 13… What a childishly naive conclusion.
Come on, count them. 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 1 1 , 12, 13… 14. 14. 14! Just 14,
dear Irina Kondratyevna. – Einstein's paradox.
– What? – Einstein's paradox.
– So what? While here, on Earth, 27 years pass,
less than a year passes over there. Einstein's paradox. What does he have to do with it? Mikhail Kondratyevich is absolutely
right, it's Einstein's paradox. May I remind you
that it was the idea of the expedition's head,
Viktor Danilovich Sereda, to form the crew
of teenagers no older than 14, so that they could
reach Cassiopeia in the prime of their life,
about 40 years old. But an incredible thing happened. The ship broke
through the hyperspace and reached its destination 27 years
earlier than the calculated… – Time!
– Absolutely right. There's nothing we can do about
the paradox, we've been hearing about it
since Pavlik left. But I just cannot believe
that Pavlik is younger than Misha,
who was only 3 then. Oh, women! Nevertheless,
my dear Antonina Alekseyevna, today, there or over there,
in the depths of space, your son has
turned just… – Forty.
– Fourteen! A paradox. Too many temptations. How about a picnic amid nature? A birthday in our
own simulated nature. We'll sunbathe, we'll sing,
we'll fix a barbecue. We need something more ceremonial. After all, it's the first
birthday on the ship. At least, in some room. Guys, let's do it
in his flat, like on Earth. – Well, it's not a bad idea.
– Great! Let's simulate Pavel's flat. Don't forget about a samovar
and a white cat. – Write it down.
– I already did. And I've got something here
for the sound effects. – Three… four.
– Please! Mom, will we have compote today? Yes, Misha dear. – What about jelly?
– We'll have jelly tomorrow. And ice cream? No ice cream,
you all got sore throats. Children, who took my magazine? I'm sure it's Pashka.
And he's late for dinner as usual. Where's Pavlik? I'm here, Mom, Dad! Help me slice the bread and put the plates on the table. Those Pashka's nails
are all over the table again. Fedya, I'm sorry
you have to do it. Happy birthday! Sorry, we wanted to please you. lt was a stupid joke. But take it easy,
you're a grownup man now. – No, not grownup.
– Yes, grownup. If you'd stayed on Earth,
you would have been 40 already. Old man. We must swear right now that we'll never play
such jokes on one another, that we'll never remind
each other of home, our home on Earth, so that we never felt
such an excruciating nostalgia, so that memories
never weakened our will. I swear. I swear. I swear not to remember. I swear. I swear. – I swear.
– But it's impossible! Impossible not to remember the Earth,
your home, your family. Those are the dearest things we got. Childhood will remain here forever,
on the planet we're heading for. As the ship commander,
on behalf of the earthmen, I exempt you
from this oath for tonight. – Intimacy is welcome.
– Anything for the crew. Come on, "The night is gone". The night is gone, as the pain is gone, Earth is asleep, yes, let her rest. The Earth has to go a way as long As life, as we have to go in our quest. I'll take along this big world, Every day, every hour that has passed. Should l forget something, The stars may not accept us. Should I forget something, The stars may not accept us. I'll take the memory of fields wide
and far, I'll swim in the ripe, thick hay. And there, far off, by the blue star, The Earth's Sun will light my way. I'll take along this big world, Every day, every hour that has passed. Should I forget something, The stars may not accept us. Should I forget something, The stars may not accept us. Twenty seven years ago,
the spaceship "Dawn", which is a Russian acronym of "annihilator relativistic
nuclear starship", took off from Earth towards
Alpha Star in Cassiopeia Constellation, also known as Schedar. As you know, after the ship left
the Solar system, we lost all communication with it. For 27 years, all our efforts to locate the ship
and contact it have been in vain. However, last night,
at 18:57, we succeeded in
not only locating the ship, but even having a direct
television hook-up with them. All the members of the expedition
are in good health, the ship's systems
are in working order. The starship is
approaching Schedar, that is, the target of its flight. What 27 years ago
was just a tentative hypothesis, is beyond
any doubt today. The Schedar star's system has a planet inhabited by intelligent creatures. Moreover,
our laboratory has deciphered the signals
coming from that planet. There has been a catastrophe there that threatens
to destroy civilization. What has happened is not clear. But the thinking creatures
are in danger from someone. Children's magazine "Pif". I would like to know when you'll have
another connection with the starship. I cannot answer that question. We have waited 27 years
for today's connection. There it is, Alpha in Cassiopeia. The signals come from the second
planet of the Alpha system. Apparently, these are the signals of
the disaster the Earth had anticipated. Here is the planet. It looks so much
like our Earth. What do you think, guys,
where our Earth can be now? I didn't ask about my home,
I just asked about Earth. That's the same. Just approximately,
where is it now? – We can't even see the Sun from here.
– Approximately. Approximately, over there. But given the curvature
of space, it's there. Or there. Stop fooling. We're entering the sphere
of planetary gravitation. What awaits us on this planet? If only we could know who's sending
the signals. We thought we'd arrive
here already as grownups. Why getting in the dumps? The sooner
we arrive, the sooner we leave. – Wise man.
– Aristotle. Alright, let's get serious.
All go to your work places. Fix the parameters of circular orbit,
with account of atmospheric density. Check the manual controls. Is it so difficult to choose those
three? It is. I hope you understand that I have
to fly under any circumstances? I understand. Sereda, I hope you understand
that in any case I must fly with
the first reconnaissance capsule? Why you? Vitya, I'm an exobiologist. Should there be an encounter
with intelligent creatures, I must meet them first. Yes, I guess you're right. Thanks. Switch off, Lob,
Vitya's still thinking. Vitya, I hope you understand
that in any case I have to fly. Why? You ask, we answer. I'm the only specialist
in extraterrestrial civilizations. Who can tell
a pulsating homunculus from a twinkling octosaur? Secondly, I invented a unique
glue, and my resourcefulness… Block him. Vitya, we hope you understand… Alright, go. I have
to think it all over again. – Yes, Commander.
– Don't consult with the computer. He is at bad terms with it. You should look beautiful
when you step onto an alien planet. You're so lucky.
I didn't think Vitya would send you. – Anyone but you.
– Why not? You know
how he feels about you. When we were in the 4th grade,
he stole your photo. I gave it to him.
And not in the 4th, but in the 5th. All right, he didn't steal it. Julia's right, you're lucky. If Misha looked at me
the way Vitya looks at you, I would have died from happiness. I prefer people
who give no sign of what's going on inside them. Because you're too secretive yourself. But one can't hide anything
from me, I've got eyeglasses. All right, girls, we're not on Earth. On Earth or not on Earth,
I cannot hide anything. All is written on my face,
and he can see it. But he looks only at you. Guns are in pockets behind your seats. Thanks.
Kuteishchikova is late even now. She's coming. – Well, good luck.
– Goodbye. Goodbye. – I'll call her Varyana.
– Who? – That planet.
– Why Varyana? Varya. Varyana.
You'll be the first to step on it. I won't be alone to step on it. Well, call it whatever
you like, even Juliana. I don't care.
Goodbye. Goodbye. Pasha, we'll be on line all the time. Goodbye.
Let's go. – How are you?
– Everything's great. Good luck! You're leaving the zone of visibility.
We'll contact you in 55 minutes. – What's this?
– Some kind of top toys. We're observing a rare case
of spindle-like civilization. These structures indicate that the planet was inhabited by the 6-
legged, 8-winged dragonfly creatures. There's nothing funny about it. Why are you so quiet? You're
the first humans on this planet. Man has never set foot in this place! We're the first here! – You've spoiled it again.
– Why me? What a strange echo. Let's call this planet Echo. – Sounds good.
– Echo! Echo! Vitya has called this planet Varyana. Well, let it be Varyana. And what's this? Obviously, these are the remnants
of a civilization. But where from? They're the cubs of dragonfly creatures. They're absolutely harmless. Besides, they're just running by. – Anything fell off?
– Nothing so far. – Maybe, my universal glue.
– We don't need your glue. Then I'll take a run. – Where?
– Over there. But be quick. We must not
keep away from each other. Sure. All right, run. – Where're you going?
– To play some soccer. – No kidding.
– He needs to. We have reached the second planet
of the Alpha-Cassiopeia system. The preliminary data on
the atmosphere have been verified. O2 – 21%, H2 – 78%, CO2 – 1%. All is within the range of the earth
standards. Wow, what a wind! We're observing the signs
of an existing civilization, and, therefore, of thinking creatures. Though everything around
looks rather deserted, so it's possible we're too late. I've been here.
Lob. Humans? Just a minute, I'll turn on
my thought detector. Where are you from? I'm from over there, I flew on this
in here, to you. Earth, peace, friendship. The square of the hypotenuse equals
the sum of the squares of the catheti. It can happen to anyone. Peace, friendship! Where're you going, guys?
Where to, guys? We shouldn't have let him go a step
away. Just wait till I catch him! What's this?
It's a third column already. Dying civilizations have always
created graveside monuments. But where's Fedka? It's just an outrage. Now we have
to waste time on searching him. We have to make a radio contact. There he is, our dear boy.
Stop fooling. Stay cool, Varvara. We seem to have an encounter. Who are you? We're the executors.
Follow us. The controllers are waiting for you. Where's Fedka? There's no danger.
Your friend is already there. What's most important is not to show
distrust. Go on with reporting inconspicuously. We're having a close encounter
with the intelligent ones. The creatures looking like humans, their heads equipped with
numerous metal details. Their means of communication is
whistling. The human ear cannot… We're in a small white
spherical premises… A prophylactic module. The walls are from something like
our foam rubber or asbestos. The air in the room
has no smell. What a profound silence. All is white, like in Julia's hospital.
A trap? A trap for fools. Attention. I am "Mainland",
calling "Island". "Island". Guys, do you copy?
Varya, Pasha, Fedya. Varya, Pasha, Fedya. They left the capsule
five hours ago. They didn't make contact
at the appointed time. They absolutely disappeared
from the planet's surface. An artificial body port side. Look, it's approaching. That's it, boys. – Civilization.
– Too early to rejoice. What's this?
I don't get it. It's a cannon.
Guys, it's a cannon. Sure, a cannon. What do we do, Vitya? – Katya, give me a candy.
– Here. Activating the protective system. Don't get nervous. lf necessary,
the automation will work on its own. Only who will prove stronger? We? We must not
show them our distrust. What about the cannon? That's something absolutely different. I'll go out
into the demonstration module. All right. Try not to take
extreme measures. Good luck. Humans. Just like us. I've always believed it. If there are intelligent
creatures in space, they can only
be like us. It can't be proved. You always dispute
the obvious facts. We're gratified
that we could have pleased you. Come to the ball. Where're you from? From the Solar system,
from the planet Earth. Why have you come to us? You asked for help. We didn't ask help. You did, we received
your signals. Those were not our signals. What do you mean, not yours? Not ours. We were looking for the intelligent
in the Universe. – Thinking ones.
– Live ones. Are you alive? Yes, alive.
And we're thirsty. For this, you're given a control
key, inserted in the niche. For you not to use
your primitive instruments, we're switching to your speech code. – That's something!
– All for the happiness of the alive. – Do you want to be happy?
– Sure. You bet. You will be happy. We'll make you happy. Will make you happy. Will make you happy. Weird. – What's weird?
– Everything's weird. Why do they say
they didn't ask for help? Who sent the signals then? Or were we mistaken? What does it mean,
"make us happy"? I'm already happy. You happy?
They'll make you even happier. I don't want
to be made happy. One must win happiness oneself. – What's up?
– Where's the chair? I think I did it. Give it here. A remote control system. It is our planet.
It is the Earth's garden. The Earth feeds us, gives us water. We exist in this environment,
we move, we breathe. But it is just a tiny model
of a part of our planet. These are flowers, which
will yield delicious fruit later. We call the fruit
apples, cherries, pears. Please. Sending us on a distant journey,
people created this room, in which we could make simulations
of places that are dear to us, and they called
that room "a surprise". We would like to know your alphabet. There you go. A, b, c, d, e… Now we would like
to know your vocabulary. There you go. Abacus, abbot, abdomen, aberration, aborigine,
absentee, abracadabra… Hell's bells. – They've assimilated it!
– Yes, assimilated. Thank you. Please, sit down. We're happy to see our brothers
in intellect. Now we shall tell you
about our planet. This is what our planet looked
like 250 years ago. We were happy and looking for
new ways of development. Creative work was
bringing us joy. The greatest invention
of our scientists was the bio-technical
executor robot, which liberated us from
primitive working processes. Following the executor robot, the controller robot had been created, which was able to not only
manage the executors, but perfect them, too. However, the controller robots decided also to improve
us, the live ones. They believed that the achievement
of full happiness by us is impeded by
the torments of creative work, the feelings of dissatisfaction, compassion for others,
kindness and conscience. They decided to deprive us
of those qualities. We didn't want that kind of happiness. We began to fight back. But it was too late. All you see now does not exist any more. Only pictures remained. At the final stage
of that planetary tragedy, the controller robots
resorted to an awful craftiness. They created a call – an eerie
mesmerizing combination of sounds, upon hearing which
even the strongest of us lost all willpower and
obediently went to the stations where they were turned to happy, senseless,
complacent creatures. Those absolutely happy ones lived aimlessly
through the rest of their lives, leaving
no offspring after them, for they had also been
deprived of the feeling of love. There is not a single live
creature on our planet now. How could you survive? Shortly before the catastrophe,
our scientists built and put in orbit
a space radio observatory. We're the descendants of those
who were on that orbital station and, thus, out of reach of the robots. Our observatory
can't leave its orbit. We are doomed to
forever orbit the planet that no longer belongs to us. For 250 years we have been
sending SOS signals, and we're happy
that you heard us. The smell. Our three comrades
are there, on your planet. They're going to die. If they get
the control key, we'll try to help you
see each other. Square A-739-12 – minus. Square A-739-13 – minus,
Sergei Sergeyevich. Square A-739-14 – minus. Minus, minus, minus… We need different solutions.
We should look for something else. We're looking, but, unfortunately,
we don't possess the energy necessary for
covering such distances. I know it without your telling me. Excuse me for so unceremoniously
intruding on your conversation. I'd like to be useful,
for I have some resources, though, maybe, of not
quite scientific nature. Of not quite scientific nature? Not quite,
in the light of the present day. I would like to offer my
services in order to contact the "Dawn" starship. – How?
– When? Right now.
Please. There we go. Capricorn, Cabalevsky, Centaur,
Cryuchkov, Cristalinskaya… There it is, Cassiopeia.
555-666-777. Do you happen to have any metal
object of medium size? No. – Will it do?
– Just fine. We got it. What's this? The first contact of man
with an extraterrestrial civilization. The inhabitants of Varyana. And where are the kids?
Vitya? Vitya? Here he is,
Viktor Danilovich Sereda. Excuse me, you've got strong tobacco. That's all
I can do so far. I don't command
the feedback yet. But… I'm thinking, searching, researching, hoping. The devil knows what. Try the crimson one,
it's something like our mango. Let's try your mango. Cool. Well, up! – Hi.
– Hi. Up!
Here comes the mango. We expected a destroyed civilization,
and what we got is just wow! Your mango stinks.
It's just red ink. Where do these horned
retorts come from? Can you not ask questions
at least now? Please. There's a hole here.
Interesting. The elementary action
of a field of force. Try the yellow stuff, something
like strawberries in chocolate. "Island". "Island".
I'm "Mainland". I'm "Mainland". – Guys, do you copy?
– We copy. We copy. Pasha! Pasha! Pasha, if you have
the control key, hurry and put together the upper
yellow plate and the red one, and then we shall see each other. "Island"! I'm "Mainland". I'm "Mainland". You're in danger,
you're surrounded by robots. Return to the ship
immediately. To do this, insert the key in
the niche, which must be in the room. Make a half-turn of
the key's upper plate. After you connect
the green and red plates… You're being deceived.
You're in no danger. We'll make you happy. Will make you happy. It's all nonsense. Vitya is just
panicking, he's jealous of us. No, he isn't panicking. Vitya wouldn't scare us
just for nothing. The robots. – Come on, what's the matter?
– We must leave. – Follow me.
– Bye, robots. Danger. Danger. Varya, where're you? Batten down.
Starting the engines. Hurry, Varvara.
Why are you standing? Maybe we'd better not fly, guys? – What?
– Are you tired of living? No, I'm not. But there're so many mysteries here,
and we flee without solving them. If they're really robots,
don't you want to know why they look so much
alive, like humans? It's antihuman.
And all the rest? Those balls, means of transportation,
and the whole civilization? We've encountered
what we were looking for, and now we chicken and flee. – Shall we bind her?
– I've got Sereda's order. And what would Sereda have done
if he were in our place? He would have stayed. – She's crazy.
– I'm staying! You don't even have the control
key to be able to stay. – We are in a mess.
– Pasha, give me a gun. There're no guns. – What do you mean?
– They stole them, bastards. – Give us the key.
– Not allowed. – We're hungry.
– Not allowed. And what are we allowed? Nothing.
You're prisoners now. Oh, so we're prisoners! You'll stay in charge now. We'll contact you every hour, two or
three. Be very careful. My son, Agapit,
will be your guide. He'll try to help you
find your comrades. But protect him
from the crafty call of the robots. Don't forget, he'll be helpless
if he hears it. Goodbye. Soon you will see
our native planet. It is a great fortune, for which you may
pay with your life. But we must do everything we can for
the people from the planet Earth who came here to help us. I hope you can carry out
your daring plan. Goodbye. Goodbye.
We'll be waiting for you. We're left alone, you and I.
You don't seem to be happy about it. I'm not happy about something else.
They all flew off except me. And me. Someone had
to remain on the ship. I would have been more
useful than the others there. Why didn't Vitya take me? Are you asking yourself or me? You. You possess a unique memory, you're perfect
in dealing with technology. But when it comes to people, you… Come on, say it. You become insensitive. In situations that outer
space offers us, Katyusha, I doubt that one can
rely on emotions. You don't have to choose,
you don't know anything about feelings. – You read Tolstoy's "Resurrection"?
– Yes. 25th edition, page 43,
second paragraph. Read it. When Katyusha came into the room, or even when Nekhlyudov saw
her white apron from afar, everything brightened up for him
as though lit by the sun… Well, Professor Kuteishchukova, why are you not studying
your mysterious planet? Got nothing to say?
Then I'll explain it to you. The dragonfly creatures are divided
into three types: wormlike dragonflies, anthropoid dragonflies
and dragonfly-like dragonflies. We ran across
the typical representatives of the anthropoid dragonfly creature. But you don't know how
to fight them. They're invincible. Varya, what are you up to? May I ask a few questions? – Not allowed.
– Ask them. How much is 9 x 7? lt's elementary. 63. The square of the hypotenuse? The square of the hypotenuse equals
the sum of the squares of the catheti. They know everything. One more question. A and B sat on a tree. A fell down, B disappeared.
What remained on the tree? Oh, Jesus! Burned out. Pasha, take the key from them, quick.
And let's run. Dead. Burned out. I was wrong. They're not dragonfly
creatures. They are robots. Yes, they are robots.
What, Pasha? They got no key. Dead, too. And no communication with ship. Agapit, we're in a hurry. Agapit, we're in a hurry. They've been here. I've been here. Lob.
Fedka. They were trying to make contact. Agapit, what's this pillar? It's a lift pillar. The means of moving over the planet. Astride? Sorry, l was kidding.
Can we get to them? Yes. But where are they? Think, Agapit. – Here they are.
– You're alive! Vitya!
Vitya dear! Let's get out of here. – Who is he?
– Agapit. – You've done them in.
– It was Varya. The executor robots are invincible. The live from the planet Earth,
we're happy to greet all of you. Now you'll be sent to
the making-happy station, and in two hours of Earth time you'll be absolutely happy, happy, happy. These are the controller robots. Commander, we must hurry. Come on, Kuteishchikova,
Lobanov, Kozelkov. – This way?
– No, that way. Wait, this is the call of the robots. Agapit, stop. This is the call of
the robots. It will be your end. Don't stop me. I must go.
They call me. We have to split! Is he nuts or what? That's what I call strong! He's disappeared. We must rescue Agapit. If only I knew how. Follow him
and you will be happy. The executors will show you the way.
Follow them. We'll make you happy. Will make you happy. Will make you happy. This way, there's nobody here. Come back, and you'll be happy. Will be happy. Come back, and you will be… – Good work!
– Way to go! We must find out how the robots
operate and how to fight them. – We can't do it without Agapit.
– Where did they hide him? We must find Agapit,
or we'll never get out of here. – Let's disguise ourselves as robots.
– How? We have a weapon – A and B. – It won't help.
– It will. Where're you going? Let him try.
Only be quick. It's not my head.
The mechanic mixed them up again. No, it's not mine. This is mine. And this is mine. – Shall we swap?
– Let's swap. It's taut. Taut?
Then it's mine for sure. I'm asking a question. Just a minute. Ask it. A and B sat on a tree. A fell down, B
disappeared. What remained on the tree? What are you doing? You can
strangle me. Be patient. – Well?
– Real robots. Take a look at yourself. What a picture! – Keep it, you may need it.
– Thanks. – Well, shall we go?
– Yes. If we're not back in 30 minutes,
make your way to the capsule. If there's any danger,
get back to the ship. We'll wait for you. This is my order. – Pasha, that's their charger.
– Right. Where do they get energy from? Why are you so slow?
C'mon, get charged. Yesterday, the 376th was late –
and that's it. Shut him down. You nerd.
The yellow one only on Mondays. If somebody sees, you'll be in a lot
of trouble. The blue! Don't touch
the blue one, or you'll burn. I don't seem to like you, guys. Looks like something's wrong
with the memory block. – Just kidding.
– Kidding. What have you done with the live one? Waiting to get happy
on 507th floor. The key's code is black-and-white. Why don't they sound the third
ring? I'm starving. Now to the lift pillar. Wow, it feels good! Ah, it feels good. Oh, it feels so good! Oh, it feels so good! Oh, it feels so good! Seventy-one parsecs, and no dragonfly
creatures. Agapit is absolutely like a human.
He got arms, legs and a head. Will the guys find him or not?
What do you think, girls? Sleeping. Of course, they haven't slept
for 28 hours. I'm a man, and even I…
Feel like sleeping. Girls. What about
following this smoke? It will lead us to
where those villains are hiding Agapit. Let's pretend that this music
of theirs has affected us. Why not, girls?
Not a bad idea, huh? Will Vitya guess it?
No, he won't. What shall we do? They're sleeping. Sleeping. – Hi.
– Hi. What? – Where're you going?
– You've scared me, the devils. Where're the girls? They're sleeping there.
What about you? The executors are not allowed there
if the controllers are present. – What do we do?
– We're thinking about that, too. Get Agapit out,
we'll wait here. The way you got me out during
the exam, just to get a crib. Got you. I'm off. We're glad to see you.
Take a seat where you like. Soon you'll be
absolutely happy. I came for you. Have you forgotten why you descended
on the planet of your ancestors? Oh, it's you.
Good. Your nerves are no good if this music
affects you so much. I can't do anything with myself. – Now we'll get up and go out.
– What for? You idiot, people are going
to die because of you. We'll get up now and go out. How?
It's impossible. Possible. Just keep mum
and do as l do. Get up. Oh, I've got cramps!
Oh, I've got cramps! Not allowed, only the happy
ones go out of here. You're forgetting that we're
alive, and we need to. A defect of the construction? Wrong food. Go.
Executors, show them out. Where do the robots get energy? From a charger station
at the ocean coast. – How shall we find the station?
– I'll show you. All right, this way. Now, let's get the girls,
and up there, to the capsule. – And in it, to the charger station.
– Careful. Are they alive? Yes, alive, just sleeping.
Move over. – What do you mean?
– We can't abandon the girls. What about Agapit? The charger station? We can't rescue the girls now,
they're sleeping. I'll stay. They'll wake up
and we'll try to run away. We got only
90 minutes. Switch the thought detector
to the outer connection. – Agapit, to the capsule.
– Our only hope is the capsule. And our A and B. We have to find the lift pillar.
It must be somewhere here. There it is. Take off the costumes,
the masquerade is over. Activating the liquidation of
a disposition to compassion, a bent for being conscientious,
appendicitis, a feeling of dissatisfaction with
oneself, a disposition to kindness, a disposition to love,
a disposition to work, a disposition to daring. Why are you standing here? We can't get out,
something's holding us. Where's the second one? He needs to be there for a while. An individual
defect of the design? Obviously. Take your seat. Varya, give them our A and B. – May l ask you a question?
– Ask it. A and B sat on a tree. A fell down, B
disappeared. What remained on the tree? Your letter that stands for 'and'
remained. In 30 minutes Earth time, you will no longer
care about any questions. Look straight ahead. Agapit, we've never been here. Where's our capsule? This is the ocean.
But it's a different place. Apparently, I mixed up
the combination of plates. I was still under the spell
of the call of the robots. What do we do? The lullaby. My mother used to sing it. – What are you doing?
– I'm the nurse robot. I've got an outdated design. The caring block
has not been removed. And I've been rocking
this cradle for 200 years. Only two of us
defective are left, the 739th and me. I saw such a machine on pictures. It is supposed to move. I've been waiting for you for
200 years. I'm the mechanic robot! The machine is in full order!
Push the button! Get in. – Hurry, Agapit.
– Don't interfere. The color gamut of the charger station
consists of three combinations. Up from the bottom –
yellow, green, blue, red. Yellow, green. The machine will deliver you
to your destination. Why doesn't it move? Movement is the white plate.
Help me close it. Vitya, we blew it. A and B isn't
working on the controllers. The girls are being prepared
for making them happy. I'll be the next.
If you don't help, it's the end of us. You helped the live ones. You'll be dismantled. Robots – biological,
biochemical, mechanical. Robots – silicic,
electrostatic. No, it's not that. The way of destruction –
energy blockade. That's it. Varya, I'm scared. I'm scared. Won't the boys
be able to save us? Danger of first degree.
The live ones are threatening. Everything that can burn,
must be burned. There is the charger station! Where are you? Misha, I got two minutes. We're in extreme danger.
Communication with the ship is blocked. The only possible contact
is through the controllers' ball. The fight with these robots was
described by Bodyagin. You've read it. You have to remember the page
on which it was written. Misha, you're thinking too long. By the system of long-distance
communication, the commodore ordered all the working robots
to remove their earphones. Carrying out the command,
they removed the earphones and, no longer hearing the orders,
had quitted the awful game. "Aha," cried the commodore,
"now we'll get to the principal ones…" Fedya, watch out! So you're stuck? Girls, three have already stuck! You damned dragonflies,
we'll get you all! Where are you dragging me? Commander, come here! Here's
the entrance to the charger station. Hold on. We're in a trap. I don't know
the password. They'll destroy us! Down! – Let's run.
– Get down! That's some mirror! Come here! Vitya, we put our hopes only on you. I've glued up three controllers,
but it's useless. If you don't help, we're goners. In a few minutes
the girls will die. Hurry up, Vitya. Varya, think of something else! All executors
report immediately to 1001st floor
of the charger station. Destroy the live ones. Everybody entered here
only in spacesuits. One can stay here only
for a little while. Everything's so simple and elementary. And incomprehensible. We need a signal for recharging. – Are these the inscriptions?
– Yes. Outer complex.
lnner complex. Hurry, Agapit. – Industrial complex.
– No, not that. Transportation. Field of force,
amplification, reduction. Signal of recharging. Energy of executors.
Energy of controllers. The key code –
yellow-green-blue. Doesn't it remind you
of a nuclear reactor? Pulling the rod out
increases the energy. Yes, it does remind me! We'll disable all of them
to bloody hell! Charging for 2 minutes, then
the energy cuts off automatically. The protective blocking
prevents the robots from burning out. How to switch it off? I don't know. How? How? The key couldn't stand it,
it evaporated. lf only we could… We need a metal rod,
a steel one! A nail! Come on! Run! You're saved.
All but us burned out. They were preparing us for
shutting down and temporarily replaced
the charging block with a battery. We're defective.
We're your friends. You're home now. We're happy for you.
Protect your planet. We won't be as carefree
as our ancestors had been. And the robots will be
our good helpers, right? Your hair began to grow,
you're a big boy now. We are your friends. Lay off, l've heard it already. – We are your friends.
– I got you. Got you. – We are defective.
– Tell it somebody else. – We are to be preserved.
– I got a headache from you. We are defective. Will you ever leave me alone?! Thanks. Who wrote this? Well, suppose… 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6… 13. You're making progress, dear
Yekaterina Sergeyevna. – How did you get here?
– The call of duty. – How did you survive?
– The call of duty. – What did you fly in?
– The call of duty. Is it really you? By the call of duty, it's me. Top secret Isn't it time to get back
to the Earth, friends? Right, isn't it time to go back
to the Earth? The End

Welcome to the Hacking Security podcast. Hacking Security is a podcast for emerging trends in application security development. I am your host, Steve Giguere, and full disclosure: This podcast series is sponsored by the Synopsys Software Integrity Group.
Like all good software development projects, this is a multidiscipline effort where we put together the minds and hearts of the Synopsys Software Integrity Group. And with that, good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, application security fans. This is Episode 3 of Hacking Security, and I am your host, Steve Giguere. This podcast is going to dig into the research and findings found in the OSSRA report.
What is the OSSRA report? you might be asking yourself. Well, strictly speaking, it is the Open Source Security and Risk Analysis (that's O-S-S-R-A with a silent "and") report. Now I realize as much as anyone that reports can be a tad on the dull side. I'm going to do my best to keep it lively, but I'm going to start talking about open source generally.
The concept of keeping software "open" was introduced more than 30 years ago, and the adoption of open source software has been accelerating ever since. Today, open source is pervasive across every industry and is used by organizations of all sizes. Really, the reasons are straightforward. Open source lowers development costs; it speeds time to market; it accelerates innovation and developer productivity.
However—and it's a big "however"—analyst Amy DeMartine said in The Forrester Wave: Software Composition Analysis, Q1 2017, that, roughly quoting, developers use open source components as their foundation, creating applications using only maybe 20% new code. Unfortunately, many of these components used come with liabilities in their license agreements, and one of every 16 open source download requests is for a component with a known vulnerability.
You're probably getting the gist, but I will clarify what the objective of the OSSRA report was. Each year, a company called Black Duck, a specialist in open source management software and now part of the Software Integrity Group at Synopsys, conducted a survey. A survey is, perhaps, a bit of an understatement, as it really qualifies more as a research project, because over 1,100 commercial codebases are then anonymized. (It's worth repeating that—anonymized—for the benefits of disclosure. Nothing in the report is attributable.) And those codebases are audited throughout the year—in this particular report, 2017.
The results of the report are designed to give the readers, and you listeners, insight into industry-specific states of play regarding the use of open source software in order to better understand the associated risk, be that cyber security, licensing, or operational risk. What industries is this relevant for? Well, FinTech, enterprise, IoT, manufacturing, automotive AI, BI… Ringing any bells? If so, this is probably for you. It's probably for you if you write software, to be frank about it.
Now why does this all seem too relevant right now? You may have heard of a little company called Equifax, probably more than you'd care to. The single greatest open source vulnerability exploit in recent history. Five, six, three, eight is not just my PIN number but also the number of the CVE. CVE-2017-5638 is the known vulnerability attackers used to extract personal records from the credit giant using a vulnerability in the Apache Struts open source package.
So many questions arise from that. Why didn't they just upgrade? Didn't they have notifications about vulnerable open source? Didn't they understand that once an open source package is vulnerable, and that it becomes public knowledge, the bad guys are straight on to Shodan, searching for people still using the old version—or actually, probably writing bots to do it for them—and sticking their criminal little cyber fingers into the hole to see what lies inside?
CVEs represent a race against time, period. Best to ensure you don't have any, and that's where this report comes in.
It's interesting that the very first stat in the report is that of all of the codebases analyzed in the research—that was 1,100-plus—8% of them used Apache Struts, of which a third were still using the vulnerable version. Insert sound of long, drawn-out exhale, or perhaps sound of person banging head against wall there.
In the past few months, there's probably only one phrase or buzzword that has surpassed "Equifax" in popularity, and that would be my other PIN number: GDPR. I don't think it's even possible to engage in a cyber security conversation without saying it. It should be some kind of drinking game at cyber security conferences. Nevertheless, it's relevant. New mandates on privacy mean new initiatives on cyber security, added diligence on the software supply chain, and the addition of gates, checks, and measures regarding deployed web-facing applications are all the rage. The sentiment, in big capital letters in the report, correctly states, "All companies processing and holding the personal information of European citizens must protect that information—regardless of where it is sent, processed, or stored." And done. That's pretty simple and summarizes the new regulations succinctly.
I've been concentrating on cyber security risk, but let's talk about licensing risk to do with open source components. Sometimes overlooked—certainly not by your legal department, though, I would imagine. It can be that your developers, in all of their DevOps autonomy, don't actually understand or check the licensing requirements of some of the open source modules, frameworks, and libraries that they are happily integrating.
The boogeyman of open source licensing for commercial software developers is the GPL license, or General Public License. This is sort of your hippy, free love version of licensing that allows anybody to use it, mod it, redistribute it. But—and it is a big capital B-U-T—the end product also needs to be GPL, so freely open source, which is not what commercial software vendors often have in mind.
GPL is by no stretch of the imagination the only open source license, of course. Oh no, there are thousands of different variations with different requirements on use, redistribution, attribution, etc. Many licenses are totally incompatible to be used together in a product. In fact, getting back to the report, the OSSRA research showed that 74% of codebases audited contained components with licensing requirement conflicts, 44% of which involve GPL.
Let's let that sink in for a moment. If you write software or you've got a large-scale software team, 44% of 74%? There's a good possibility that you may have a licensing issue on your hands, almost about a 50/50 shot. OK, let's leave that one for a moment.
Let's talk about IoT, a.k.a. the Internet of Things, a vague, kind of sloppily contrived acronym describing the often-unnecessary internet-connectedness of stuff that was frankly just fine before we needed iPhone-connected internet-controlled toasters or the ability to have a swinging night out on the town whilst taking care of baby via the internet-friendly baby monitor.
Yes, IoT's maniacal race to blast anything and everything onto the net has come with risk. From essential innovations like connected heart monitors to the ridiculous internet-connected Y-fronts, the IoT tidal wave has meant a hard and fast feature-first, security-and-privacy-second-and-third approach, with time to market meaning a significant use of open source packages to turbocharge development.
Well then, I guess it'll be no surprise that 77% of the IoT codebases analyzed showed open source component usage—OK, sure, that doesn't sound so bad—with an average 677 vulnerabilities per application. Yeah, OK, that sounds bad. But how does that compare with last year? Keep in mind, this is a yearly report.
At the start of this podcast, we alluded to growth in the use of open source, and that would be true. In fact, the report states that the number of open source components per codebase grew 75% between the last report and this one. What is surprising and a touch worrying is that the number of open source vulnerabilities per codebase grew by 134%. This growth isn't surprising when you hear that in 2016, the NIST NVD database listed 6,400 vulnerabilities in 2016 and a whopping 14,700 by the end of 2017. Open source is growing fast and, it's fair to say, a bit loose.
We're going to wrap this podcast up now saying that the report concludes with a plethora of statistics like the top 10 CVEs found, the top 10 high-risk components, the frequency of security licensing risks, as well as identifying high-risk components by industry. The fact of the matter is that the debate over whether you should or shouldn't use open source is academic. The research showed that we have crossed a threshold where applications are now using more open source than not, and with this change comes a new requirement to the application security evolution. Knowing your application inside and out is almost at odds with the trend to high-agility DevOps-based development but is proving an essential ingredient to the DevSecOps movement.
This has been a podcast from the Synopsys Software Integrity Group. I've been your host, Steve Giguere. Special thanks, as usual, goes out to the team at the Software Integrity Group—Beth Gannett and Gabby McDonald—as well as the research team behind the OSSRA report 2018. Thanks for listening. This has been Episode 3 of Hacking Security.

As a Norfolk architectural photographer based in Norwich the most common questions that I get asked are:-
- "When is the best time to take photographs of my property?
- Can you come back at different times of the day to take my property looking at it's best?
- Can you come back at different time of the year to photograph my property"?
The time of the year is most important. If you are selling a property then the market is most buoyant in Spring and Autumn. There is often a dip in late summer during the school summer break and again over Christmas and New year period. You need to plan and get your images in good time to hit the market. This will greatly improve your chances of getting a higher sale.
For holiday lets the timing of getting your photographs is more difficult. The holiday season starts around Easter and finishes late October. When the rooms are filled you clearly cannot get any inside shots. Decoration and major repairs to a holiday let take place November to Easter. The best time to get holiday let images is just before the season starts in Easter when the leaves are on the trees and the daylight is good. Alternatively Autumn is another ideal time when you are more likely to have a few vacant few days.
Most other property photography assignments take place between March and November.
So when is the best time of the day to take exterior property images? It depends on the final images that you require. Properties for sale are best photographed mid morning or mid afternoon on a bright sunny day with blue sky and clouds like in the image below.
Your property may look stunning when the cherry trees or wisteria are in flower. It may be best in the Autumn when the Virginia Creeper has turned red in the Autumn like in the image below. For this reason you may require your property to be photographed several times over the seasons.
The time to photograph interiors does not really matter provided there is some daylight. With the techniques that I use your rooms will look good photographed at any time of the day. There is no need to come back at different times of the day to get interior shots. This of course this saves you from incurring unnecessary costs.
Some property projects need photographing in certain conditions to show them at their very best. The cladding on Lowestoft College in the image below changes with the angle of the sunlight. It can look green from one angle and brown when you step a few yards forward. I took this image on a sunny day in November and had to wait about 3 weeks to get conditions that were suitable.
Many buildings look great lit up at night. After the sun had gone down on Lowestoft College you can see in the image below that at night the building is transformed with the use of coloured lighting.
The image below of the Assembly House, Norwich was taken early in the New Year when the Christmas lights were still on the building. This was an opportunity not to be missed but it does demonstrate that there are opportunities to photograph properties all year.

Becoming a community support worker is a wonderful idea for several reasons. You would have an opportunity to start a career where you would get to work with other people and help them. You could take on all kinds of opportunities. Working in this field has its advantages, even if it takes time to get your foot in the door. Before you get started, you should know of all the good reasons to take on a support worker job.
The Job Is Satisfying
Working in the industry is ideal because it is such a rewarding job to have. Most of the community support workers create wonderful relationships with different people. They feel a sense of achievement when they know they have made a difference in the lives of other people who could really benefit from the services that are provided to them.
You Can Change Lives For The Better
When you work as a community support worker, you can change the lives of different people for the better. You are supporting members of the community and helping them out in different ways. When you can help other people, it is going to make you feel good about yourself. You will enjoy the life you live even more.
It Gives You a Sense of Purpose
Because the work you will do can make such a difference, you might suddenly have a greater sense of purpose. The work you do is appreciated by others. There are people who will depend on the work you do each day and that is something that can genuinely make a difference in your life.
You Will Always Have New Things to Do
When you are providing support to a client, you are visiting the client's home instead of working in a traditional office. You will always have new things to do because the tasks required of you will vary from client to client. It is possible to help your clients with different tasks that they might need help with, along with helping them set some personal goals for themselves. Community support workers are often matched with people that share some of the same interests to make the job even more enjoyable.
You Can Have a Lot Of Fun
The job itself is quite fun. Most people that work as community support workers have a great time. You will have an opportunity to work with a lot of different people while learning more about them and hearing about their personal stories. It is always interesting to learn about what other people have been through.
You Will Have More Flexibility
There is even a possibility that you will get to work the hours that are best for you. Some people want to take on full-time positions while others are looking to work part-time around their busy schedules. No matter your schedule, positions may be available for you to take on.
Job Security Is Offered
The demand for community support workers is there and is only expected to increase over time. Because there is such a demand for these kinds of workers, you can enjoy having more job security with plenty of options offered to you.
You Will Keep Learning
When you work in this type of industry, there is always something new to learn. Not only will you take in a lot of valuable information by going through the training process, but you will even get to learn new things from the people you are going to work with and help during your time as a community support worker.
You Can Progress as You Go Along
If you want a job where you can continuously learn new things and climb the ladder to take on different positions where you can earn even more, becoming a community support worker is a fantastic idea. You can turn this job into a successful career that you will have for years to come. It is possible to gain new skills that you did not have before while going through training. As you gain new skills and experience, you can potentially become a senior support worker or even someone who works as a manager.

Selecting on a house cleaning service is a huge decision. You need to treat the method like an interview, because that is what you are doing. You are hiring an specific or home cleaning service to enter your most private and intimate space, and work with your most beneficial possessions. You need to look at more than cost per visit and evaluate the overall experience that your house cleaning provider will offer you. Help to make sure you take the time to evaluate your house cleaning provider, and make a choice that meets your own personal needs. cleaning services park ridge il
Is the house cleaning service you are evaluating bonded and covered by insurance?
This is an essential question to ask. While your house insurance does extend some protection to you against a person being hurt on your home, that is usually limited, and in most cases only up to $10, 000. Typically that might be enough, but insurance should be taken by someone that installs systems professionally home cleaner to help mitigate your hazards. At least they should have a general the liability policy, workman's compensation, and full coverage auto. Workman's compensation is the the one which could possibly be the most expensive for them to carry, but is the one you really need to think about. If someone is hurt in your make use of without this insurance you will be on the hook never to only pay for their injuries, but lost salary as long as they can be unable to work. Selecting a house cleaner should be headache free, and a good provider will provide copies of coverage after request.
Bonding is a guarantee against serves of dishonesty by the service provider, and those in their employ. When these kind of bonds are not typically worth the newspaper they are written on, a good provider will have this coverage, and satisfy the steps needed to keep this coverage in force. A provider who has a bond is likely to screen their employees thoroughly, and have a theft and damage prevention policy in place.
Will your new home cleaning service give a guarantee?
Many companies don't have a formal affirmative warranty of any kind. The good companies will. Ask for a copy with their guarantee, it should at the very least be accessible from their website. A powerful guarantee will provide you with a detailed re-clean of items found to be deficient in your scheduled cleaning if you contact the company within a specified time frame, usually 24 several hours. One more thing good companies can guarantee is your day of scheduled visit. In the event that you are scheduled to be cleaned every other Friday, your team will be there on that day guaranteed. No one likes it when they have the house all ready and the cleaning person does not show up as promised.
Just how can they pay their employees?
You want to avoid paying people under the table, whether it done intentionally by you or through a company, because in the end you can be found liable for taxation owed to the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE if you exceed a threshold of household services and taxes are not paid on those services by the service agency. This kind of also helps avoid choosing a company that might pay its employees low quality wages, and abuses other employment practices such as hiring undocumented workers. Most of these things can be financially and socially damaging to you as a finish result. Select a company that pays off its employees properly and pays all federal and local employment taxes. They might charge a little more, but you can make sure you won't be on the hook for their bad behavior.
Whom will they use to clean your home? Is going to it be the same people each time?
This kind of does not seem to be like an evident question, although if the answer is one, that is there when they are sick, in addition to a really stressful weekend discovering lots of folks arriving over, and now you have an entire house to clean on top of the rest you could barely manage to get done. Pick a company that sends the same people each visit, and they work in a team of at least 2, but preferably 3. That way, even if you are sick at least one of the team members that arrives that day will have cleansed your home previously. That also helps prevent cancelling. Teams of 3 are best coming from all so that your cleaning team will be in and away of your property in no time flat. Once companies use individual purifiers, that person can be at home for almost 50 percent the day for a typical home. For many clear reasons, this is less than ideal.

Easy Healthy Turkey Bolognese – the perfect Sunday lunch.
I can't believe the weekend is over. It's Monday already and a holiday for some. I also can't believe we're heading into the 2nd week of October – WOW!
Before you know it, the holidays will be upon us. With all there is to do to prepare for the holiday season, I'm hoping and praying that I get an early start with decorating, shopping, planning etc. I typically do but am hoping that time doesn't get the best of me. For now, I'm going to take it in stride.
Yesterday, I did things around the house to prepare for the week and took my little dog on a walk to enjoy the weather. She couldn't wait to get out and sniff the flowers and bark at any BIG dog she could find. Yes, she goes crazy when she see's a big dog but runs when she see's or hears a fly. It's crazy but kind of funny. Anyhow, on our walk, I enjoyed looking at the Fall decor and the creative Halloween decorations many people had outside of their home. I haven't put up any Fall or Halloween decorations but if I am I better get on my J-O-B.
On our way back home, lunch time was approaching. I didn't want to buy any take-out or spend a ton of time wondering what I should cook. So, I thought this Easy Healthy Turkey Bolognese would be a great option. I especially wanted to cook something quick seeing that I would be preparing dinner in the next few hours.
I love that this recipe is not only healthy, but it's done in under 30-minutes. Any remaining, can be stored away as left-overs for tomorrow's lunch or dinner. Whenever you have the opportunity to take the guest work out of cooking, why not do so.
For Easy Healthy Turkey Bolognese, all you need are:
- Whole wheat pasta (any shape)
- Ground turkey
- Store bought pasta sauce/marinara
- Red wine
- Fresh garlic or granulated garlic
- Salt & other seasoning
- Fresh parm cheese
If you're looking for other quick and easy pasta dishes, check out my Skinny Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Shrimp Pasta recipe or my restaurant style White Wine Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta.
- 1 package whole wheat pasta any shape (I used penne)
- 3/4 to 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 tblsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tblsp salt plus more if needed later
- 1.5 tsp Italian seasoning plus more if needed later
- 1.5 tsp oregano plus more if needed later
- 1.5 tsp chopped basil leaves plus more if needed later
- 3/4 jar pasta sauce
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese plus more if needed (optional)
- Boil water and prepare pasta as suggested. Retain pasta water for later.
- Minced garlic, chopped parsley (optional), grate fresh
- Gather salt, Italian seasoning, oregano, chopped basil leaves. Set aside.
- Place a skillet on medium-high heat and add olive oil. When oil is hot, add ground turkey, seasoning and brown turkey meat. When turkey meat has browned, add pasta sauce, fresh garlic, red wine and simmer stirring occasionally. When sauce comes to a slight boil, reduce heat and add more seasoning as needed while sauce is simmering. Add about 1/4 cup of pasta water while sauce is simmering. Continue to let sauce simmer for about 10 minutes to make sure all the flavors are well blended.
- Add drained pasta noodles to sauce a little at a time (you will not need to use the entire pack of pasta). Fold in pasta noodles. Add freshly grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (dry parsley will work just fine).
I added a splash of milk to cut the tomato taste slightly. I always do this even when making spaghetti.
Pasta noodles tend to absorb the liquid from the sauce. Either make more sauce or use less noodles.

International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private sector investment arm of the World Bank Group, is lending $2.8 million to cold chain services firm Snowman Logistics Ltd. The funding will be used to part-finance the company's expansion in warehousing capacity across new locations, as per a disclosure.
Bangalore-headquartered Snowman provides temperature-controlled storage services to a number of industries. It has an aggregate capacity of 33,400 pallets spread over 18 locations and operates a fleet of 158 reefer vehicles.
The company proposes to set up storage facilities at two new locations in Orissa and Gujarat. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $4.4 million and IFC plans to pitch in with $2.8 million.
This is the second time when IFC is providing debt finance to Snowman. Last year, it lent $6.5 million to Snowman, which followed an equity investment by IFC in the firm over three years ago.
Snowman was initially promoted by the Amalgam group in 1997. Subsequently, three Japanese companies (Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Logistics Corporation and Nichirei Logistics Group) acquired a significant stake in Snowman.
In November 2006, Gateway Distriparks Ltd acquired a majority stake in the firm and currently holds 53 per cent stake in Snowman. Other major shareholders – Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Logistics Corporation and Nichirei Logistics Group – together own approximately 26 per cent stake while IFC holds 19.9 per cent stake.
Other private equity investments in the cold chain logistics players include Swastik Roadlines (India Equity Partners) and JICS Logistics (IL&FS Private Equity). Also, IDFC Private Equity invested in Staragri Warehousing and Collateral Management Ltd, which plans to foray into cold chain.

HOAs Vs Homeowners: Selective Enforcement
What is Selective Enforcement?
It happens, and probably more than you realize. Board members (or a particular board member) will enforce the rules and regulations for some – but not all. Every now and then it's a personal vendetta against a homeowner or their renter, and it can interrupt the peaceful living they have every right to enjoy.
Our last President was rampant with selective enforcement. He instructed the management company to have all calls referred to him; whether it be keys to the pool, maintenance requests, RV rental spaces, Clubhouse rentals, etc. His friends received privileges, and if he didn't like you, he abused his power to send out violation notices. He once threatened me with a fake violation notice – that's when I decided to run for the Board and unseat him.
What about the other board members, you may ask? Two resigned in protest as they didn't want to serve with him (those seats remained vacant). The other two were his "quorum" buddies and allowed him to do as he pleased.
I once sat on a jury trial of an HOA lawsuit about selective enforcement. The board President (representing the HOA) was suing a homeowner for repeated violations. The homeowner lived across the street from the President. They personally didn't like each other, and the homeowner suffered consequences from the abuse of power. The President set up a security camera aimed at the neighbor's home. A blatant invasion of privacy while recording personal activity. The homeowner won his case, but what a shame it required going to court for peace and quiet.
First Step of Protection: Know Your Governing Documents
Most issues that arise in an HOA have a defined resolution by referring to the governing documents. If you know them, you may also avoid any situations that may cause distress.
I find that most homeowners and many board members don't even know what's in their governing documents.
The documents I'm referring to include the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), the Bylaws and Rules & Regulations.
These recorded documents are what govern the HOA and form its operational structure of which all parties must comply – and therein, lies the power of information and knowledge.
Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs)
Think of the CC&Rs as the "Constitution" usually designed by the Developers of the community. It contains the description of the property; the difference between the "common areas" (owned by all homeowners) and the living units (owned privately by the homeowners).
It will also cover possible future functions of the HOA, which may include developing more units, mergers, easements, some of which are elements already established through the HOA's development and existence for any period of time.
The CC&Rs will also cover subjects such as elections, assessments, and duties of the association. Here is where you can gain the power of information. In addition, it will likely define architectural guidelines on approval for renovations or improvements to individual units.
The knowledge of being familiar with the CC&Rs will help avoid future dispute issues.
The Bylaws basically pertain to the Officers and Board Members; terms, duties, meetings, elections, etc. It usually outlines the power(s) of the Board, and the process for enforcing violations. Many require a "Courtesy Notice" of an alleged violation before assessing any fines. This allows the homeowner time to rectify whatever the non-compliance may be.
Keep in mind, that not enforcing the rules makes the Association seem ineffective, and that can give an arbitrary appearance of selective enforcement. That doesn't mean a Board isn't flexible. They are at liberty to make exceptions if warranted; reserving these exceptions to "exceptional" circumstances. Although, states differ, not enforcing a rule may invalidate it.
Remember, the Bylaws should contain the procedure for compliance issues; allowing homeowners to comply, respond, and the right to a hearing, if requested. Many infractions are basically unintentional due to a lack of knowledge within the governing documents.
Rules & Regulations
The creation and adoption of the Rules & Regulations are by the Board Members. Even if enacted by previous boards, new board members typically have the authority to change, amend and/or create new rules. These should be for the benefit of the community and designed to deal with specific issues that the Association may have in its individuality of operation.
These can include parking enforcement, pool hours, clubhouse rentals, satellite and cable installation, pet policies, and most usage of amenities.
Refuting Selective Enforcement
One of the most important considerations for both the HOA and community members is that enforcement is reasonable and nondiscriminatory. There needs to be consistency in enforcing the governing documents of an Association. When the HOA takes action upon perceived violations, it should not be arbitrary and in a reasonable manner according to the procedures and due process outlined in the governing documents.
All actions taken against a homeowner are documented in Executive Meeting Minutes by board vote. If it results in a violation notice, it should cite the code of the alleged infraction.
If there is a management company, include them in any correspondence or documentation. Although the motto of most management companies is "we take direction from the board;" licensed community managers do not want an appearance of improper activity continuing once a notification is received. They value their license above all.
Pick your battles. HOAs have the resources. The board members don't incur any expenses for legal fees, nor escalated arbitration or mediation expenses. Most also have a D & O (Directors & Officers) insurance policy. Meaning, an insurance claim will pay legal expenses, and if found in fault, the insurance company pays the liability. The exception is usually if the act had a willful or malicious intent, which can be hard to prove.
As a homeowner, you have the right to see any / all documents, bank statements, violation reports, meeting minutes, etc. The only records homeowners are usually not allowed to have access to are other homeowners private information, such as assessments owed, outstanding fines, individual contact information, or lease agreements on file. All other records and documents are public to the homeowner. You pay your assessment fees; it is your money. Yes, Board Members are volunteers, but hold the fiduciary responsibility of adhering to the governing documents.
Protect Yourself from HOA Bullies
Don't become a potential victim of corruption. Attend a training class or seminar on the operations of an HOA. Find out when the next HOA expo is scheduled, and enjoy networking with other homeowners, board members, and vendors. There are also various classes available covering State laws governing HOAs (e.g. HOA elections, fining process, homeowner rights, finances, etc.) It's a good way to meet various leaders in the industry and get free advice. The instructors are usually professionals in the HOA industry, and available after class to answer specific questions or insight into issues.
Remember, it is an "industry," and everyone has their hands in the homeowners' pockets. Be sure to pick your battles as the stakes can be high. The book HOA Warrior covers a lot of issues from challenging the Board of Directors to true nightmare stories. You'll discover you are not in this alone and there is help available.
Questions & Answers
Can the HOA enforce subjective standards of home maintenance?
Subjective Standards? Anything the HOA can legally enforce must be in the governing documents. So, a board member can't just say, I don't personally like this, or I think this or that needs to be done, etc.
If your home needs EXTERIOR maintenance, request to see the home maintenance rule or regulation they are trying to enforce. Many times HOAs are responsible for the exterior. They have no business inside your home - unless it is affecting neighbors (i.e. a water heater breaks and the water flooded into a neighbor's home).
My HOA knows that I am the only owner with a vehicle that qualifies as a camper, which is not permitted to be parked on the property. All owners have admired the camper and had no issue with it until I requested that the HOA hold one of the other owners accountable for a water leak. Immediately following that request, the HOA decided to enforce the no camper rule, knowing that only I would be affected. Can this be considered selective enforcement?
You state it's only you in violation of the Rules & Regulations. So technically they are not selecting the enforcement. Sounds more vindictive. However, with that said, read your governing documents and look for loopholes (i.e. do they offer an "RV Lot" to park campers).
Can the HOA contact my mother about an issue they have with my vehicle's stickers? I'm 34. My mom's name is in the house but she does not live here. The car is 100% in my name
If the vehicle stickers are in reference to the HOA (i.e. parking, identification, etc); then, yes, they can contact your mother. The homeowner is responsible for anyone (tenant or relative) living in their home.

My life i mainly about compinsation, i cant sleep because my arms go dead and its painfull so i will sleep with no pillow and arms flat on the side of me. I cant stand to long because i feel sick the one time that i did stand to long and was unable to lay down i passed out and ended up having a blood suger of 53 and that was no fun so i always have to make sure i am where i can sit or lay down all the time. Most of my day is spent in my bed. some days are better than others but mainly i feel awful. When standing i get a heavy feeling in my stomach and feel hot and faint. My hands a feet are always cold. My movements have to be slow to avoid passing out or near passing out, and the dreaded migraine. Also while standing or sitting up i tend to get sinus tachycardia of 160 and i have gotten a low heart rate from laying down of 53, Diagnosed through one of the three holter monitors that i have had. I noticed that all of this i believe started when i gave birth to my daughter 5 years ago. I have a pcp, a cardiologist, a gi specialist, and none of them can figure out why all of this is going on. My blood work has show a low bun and creatine level and well as low potassium. I had to take postassium chloride for two weeks once. I have had a echo which was fine, a colonoscapy with was fine and and upper gi small bowel follow through. had a 24 urine alyasis for pheocromocytoma all normal .Every time i turn around something new is wrong with me. Just recently the back of my neck went numb and i threw out my back some how i couldnt even walk. The numbness and tingleing i feel all the time all over my body is not leaving my neck and i almost completly lost sensation on the back right side of my neck starting at my hair line going down towards my sholder blade, but one on the right side. cant lift my arms over my head cause the go numb. Also my hands shake sometimes where i cant even eat with them, but its only when there slightly extended. My doctors are seeing all of this a documenting it but can figure out what is wrong with me x-ray show no problems with my neck or back. Ive had a positive ana test a few years ago. My weight is only 100 lbs down from 124 3 years ago. i cant put on weight but my appitite is huge i have to eat all the time.

I wouldnt say that i am depressed but i do get that way at times because i can believe i have to go through all of this at 25. I have plently of diferential diagnosis but no clear answer for all of this. Do you know of any reason nuerologically why this would be going on? Im looking for sugestions however i get get them.

i think that i figured it out i recently got to look at my cardiologists notes and decided to do some research of my own...i found that the innapropiate sinus tachycardia that i was diagnosed with as well as hypotension and so many of the differential diagnosis that i have recieved makes sense now, i found information on POTS posturial orthostatic tacycardia syndrome and i have to say that i have not just a few but every symptom of this disorder. I have been trying to understand why my doctors havent put this together and why it took me putting it together myself. But the point being that i think that i have an answer and i need to figure this out more than ever now because there may not be that much hope for ever truely feeling better but a diagnosis would help me in so many ways, i have been afraid that i wouldnt be around for my daughter for my daughter growing up and that i would just keep on wasting away. I first begain feeling like this after the birth of my daughter and had the low blood pressure and tachycardia right away after giving birth. My cardiologist agreed that he thinks giving birth caused this but never really gave me the answers i needed to get better, the beta blockers never helped. I honstly forgot what it was like to get out of bed and not feel like i was going to pass out and die, or what it was like to sit up and eat because i felt to dizzy, or what it was like to stand for more then 10 mins with out grabbing my abdomen and feeling doom come over me and feel like i need to lay down as fast as i can, maybe ill never get to know what that was like again but at least i can maybe know deep down that i have a disorder and not that i am dying. I just want to live to run around the park with my daughter and to enjoy life with out being so sickly like. I just want help. And i don't want this pots thing but if it this then i have answers and i can try to find solutions. SO please if you have any information on this i would love love love to hear it, like how do i get tested for this? Why hasnt my doctor figured it out yet if this is it? What could be wrong with my brain if i have pots? Is this why im always cold of always hot and sweat drips down my arms all day long? What ever you have to help i so need! Thanks

Created by a team of experts in eye care, engineering and technology together with Médecins Sans Frontières and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, the Portable Eye Examination Kit (Peek) Retina adapter is a small, clip-on camera and app that optical healthcare professionals can use to examine the back of the human eye and retina, and then diagnose cataracts, glaucoma and other eye diseases.
"Around 39 million people are blind. 80% of this blindness is avoidable, but in many regions people don't have access to eye care," says the Peek Retina team. "Existing eye exam equipment is heavy, expensive, fragile and difficult to use. It's not built to travel, it can feel intrusive, and it needs a reliable supply of electricity to work."
Healthcare workers can use Peek Retina to take high-quality photos of the eye which can then be sent to experts for further examination and diagnosis – a healthcare worker using the adapter can examine over 1 000 people per week.
A campaign on Indiegogo has been set up to raise money to provide Peek Retinas to doctors identified by Médecins Sans Frontières and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness in countries such as Tanzania and India. Backers also have the option of purchasing a Peek Retina for themselves.
"In eye care clinics like St Mary's Hospital in Kenya, staff on outreach programmes will use Peek Retina. It will allow them to travel widely to diagnose people in remote locations. Peek Retina will help identify people who need cataract surgery. It's a relatively simple surgery that has a life-changing impact," says Peek Retina.
Trials to test the effectiveness of Peek Retina have already been carried out in Botswana and Mali, with more planned in the UK, Tanzania, Malawi and Kenya.
The campaign so far has raised £23 288 of it s £70 000 goal with 44 days left until funding closes. Once manufacturing and certification are complete, Peek Retinas will begin shipping in October 2015.[Source – Mashable, Images – YouTube]

You can use our asset tracking software to create Fuzzy Lists for streamlined equipment management. Think of these lists as dynamic reference points when reserving or checking out carts in EZOfficeInventory.
1) When Would I Use a Fuzzy List?
2) A Note on Reservations
3) Creating a Fuzzy List
4) Populating the Cart Using Your Fuzzy List
5) Other Actions on Fuzzy Lists
When Would I Use a Fuzzy List?
A Fuzzy List is great for scenarios where you want to add a broad 'category' of items to a cart – say a camera from the DSLR group – but don't want to worry too much about which specific DSLR it is. You can draw up a list for reference, and come back to the cart and populate it with specific items as needed. This makes it a great placeholder system when facilitating equipment checkouts at your organization.
A Note on Reservations
You can't reserve or check out an empty cart in EZOfficeInventory. However, a cart that is empty, with items listed down in a Fuzzy List, can be reserved. This is so that you can come back and add specific items to it later on without needing to change the reservation period. However, since Fuzzy Lists are for reference only, the items from the Fuzzy List will not be 'reserved' until they are added to the cart itself.
Creating a Fuzzy List
1) To start, Go to Settings → Add Ons → Fuzzy List → Enabled.
2) Next, go to the Cart detail page by clicking the cart icon highlighted in yellow below:
3) You can now click 'Create Fuzzy List' beneath the Add Items search bar.
4) This will prompt an overlay where you can begin to populate your Fuzzy List. Click 'Add Another Item' to add more item types, and the 'Delete' icon to delete them. As shown below, you can fill in 4 different Item Types:
i) Asset: You can add the specific item you want for this Fuzzy List. For example, Asset #4, which is a DSLR camera.
ii) Asset (Advanced): This allows you to add a fixed number of assets with specific properties to the list. These can be assets having the same name, belonging to a certain group, or having the same model number.
iii) Asset Stock: You can add a fixed quantity of an asset stock to the Fuzzy List.
iv) Inventory: Similarly, you can add a set number of an inventory item to your list.
5) When you're done with the list, click 'Add' to get things going. Your Fuzzy List will now pop up on the Cart detail page, as shown below. It lists down the items and quantities, and all you have to do is look them up from the Add Items search bar at a later date.
Each cart can only have a single Fuzzy List. You can toggle visibility for this by clicking the button highlighted in green in the image above.
Populating the Cart Using Your Fuzzy List
You can now use your Fuzzy List as a reference point for adding items to the cart. Here, you see us adding one of the Macbooks found on the list. Remember, the Fuzzy List is for reference only. This means that items are only reserved when you add them to a cart like below, and click on 'Reserve Cart' on the right.
The colored checklist icons next to an item on the Fuzzy List will turn from red to green once they're added to the cart. You can see that in the example below, only 2 of the 5 cables on the list have been added to the cart. This is why the checklist icon is still red. Adding 3 more cables will turn it green, signalling that all the items on the Fuzzy List have been successfully added to the cart.
This is what a Fuzzy List should look like if all the items in it have been added to the Cart:
Other Actions on Fuzzy Lists
You can edit or remove your Fuzzy List by clicking the options highlighted in green below. Editing allows you to add or remove items or quantities on your list, and removing a list will do away with it entirely.
And that's all you need to know about creating Fuzzy Lists for reference using our asset tracking software!

When you travel to places, what do you buy to serve as your souvenirs? Some people buy shirts, something unique from the place or even bells. For me, a simple refrigerator magnet would do. I choose a unique magnet if I see one, if not, then I just get the cheapest one. I think this is the cheapest way to go. I mean souvenirs from tourist places or even non-tourist ones could really be expensive. So when I was able to decide on what to buy for souvenirs, I've decided that refrigerator magnets are the easiest and cheapest way to go. Now, you'll see that our refrigerator is full of magnets from the places that I've visited. I plan to visit a lot more places, so I bet, there would be more refrigerator magnets to come.

There was a time that I was buying shot glasses too. But then, I realize that I don't really use them. So I just stick to buying fridge magnet.

I have bought costume dolls from different countries and have built a lovely little collection of dolls from around the world. I have a small collection of magnets on my fridge door and boiler. I collect postcards and have albums of these. I buy t-shirts as presents and if I do get one for myself it doesn't last long. Sometimes the dolls are expensive like in Estonia and even postcards there were pricey. I am going to Cape Town this week and I wonder if I will buy a doll, some magnets, a few postcards and a t-shirt.

That's interesting to know. Haven't tried collecting costume dolls though. I'm sure they are expensive. After all, they do know that "tourists" would be the ones who will buy them. Sometimes, I do think that they mark high prices on souvenir items since they know that tourists would buy them anyway.

When I visit another country I always buy a couple of cds as I collect music from around the world. I sometimes do a little research before I go so that I know which names to look to for. In the past I have bought many different kinds of music. Some of that music has been great and some of it has been very different from what I expected. I like to collect music as a souvenir, because it gives me a chance to know the country better and it gives me a chance to listen to the language which I am also interested in.

That sounds good! This is the first time I've heard someone collects CD music from other countries. Hope your collection becomes a vast one.

Yes I do buy souvenirs everytime I travel. I bought those things that are rare and you can only see it in that particular place.

That's good for you. Sometimes, those things that are rare and could only be found in that area are the ones that are so expensive. So I don't buy them, I just take pictures of them. Since most of the time, I have to stay within a budget when traveling, I've decided that my souvenir of choice is the refrigerator magnet. I just usually choose the most unique among tons of them.

Yeah when I go on vacation I like to get as least one souvenir so I can remember. Wich I usally get one even though its hard when I go on a cruise because I would like to get a souvenir where ever we go to but thats just to much stuff to carry and to much money to spend.

I do. I buy t-shirts and displays. It do serves as souvenirs that I've gone to that place. Because it is uncertain if I can still visit it again. So I rather have memories of the places.
