MPs quiz BBC boss over handling of Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal
BBC boss George Entwistle is being quizzed about the corporation's handling of the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal by a committee of MPs.
The Director-General faces the Culture, Media and Sport select committee a day after Newsnight editor Peter Rippon stepped aside after the BBC said his explanation of why the show dropped its investigation into Savile was "inaccurate or incomplete".
The committee is expected to quiz Mr Entwistle, who took up his post last month, about the two reviews into the case set up by the BBC, the corporations vetting procedures at the time it employed the late DJ and its existing policies on sexual harassment.
Mr Rippon has handed over control of the flagship current affairs show while the inquiry headed by Nick Pollard, the former head of Sky News, into how the BBC handled the scandal is carried out.
These are some of the key questions BBC Director-General George Entwistle may face today from the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee:
- Why did Mr Entwistle fail to make himself fully aware of the nature of the Newsnight investigation before deciding not to broadcast it?
- Why did he tell staff it was an investigation into Surrey Police's inquiry into Savile, rather than an investigation into allegations that Savile was a paedophile?
- Why did Mr Entwistle persist with broadcasting two Christmas programmes in tribute to Savile?
- Why were allegations of abuse by Savile that were uncovered by Newsnight journalists not then passed on to police?
- If the Newsnight programme was pulled because there was insufficient evidence for the Crown Prosecution Service to bring any charges, why were reporters not given more time to make their investigations?
- Did the BBC act on any of the information uncovered by the Newsnight reporters and conduct any internal inquiries into the allegations about Savile? If not, why not?

Have anybody seen the trailer of the new Pixar's upcoming movie, Up?! I don't know what to say, it's Entertaining and Visually Dazzling!!
The movie is directed by Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc.) and his co-Director Bob Peterson (also playing the voice "Dug" in the movie) told a story of Carl Fredricksen, a retired 78-year-old balloon salesman, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of a great adventure when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. But he discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic 8-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell.
I want to share the experience from my perspective as a movie fan and an artist. The first thing that bang into my head like hammer is the character design for this movie, it is so stylized and sophisticated yet simple and adorable. I don't know how they (at Pixar) capable of creating such design that feels different and stand out from the rest of the other best animation studios in the world. And then of courseit is a tradition at Pixar, the story always plays a big part of the movie, John Lasseter as the executive producer for this movie said that this 10th Pixar feature film is going to be the most funniest and most beautiful of all Pixar's movie.
The second thing about this movie that really caught me as an artist is the characterizations that Pixar put to every single thing in this movie. As an animator myself, there are a lots of talented animators that I envy, and I have the utmost respect for these guys. Every time I looked at the character, it feels so natural and not overacting like most of the animation movie does. And even the voice casting is perfect! everything is coming along together to create this bigger than life animation movie that we could never missed.
Disney•Pixar's Up! will hits the theaters on May 29 to July 23 '09 And it will be the first Pixar film to be presented in Disney Digital 3-D. The film already premiered by opening the 2009 Cannes Film Festival (and it is the first animated film to do so). I recommended everyone to go watch this in Real-D cinema, because the 3D presentation that I got on watching DreamWorks Monsters vs. Aliens in Digital 3-D really gives it a real boost and maximum viewing experience.

The Tennessee Board of Regents will hold a special called meeting Wednesday, May 30, to consider the appointment of a new president at the Tennessee College of Applied Technology Murfreesboro.
Board of Regents Chancellor Flora W. Tydings will recommend Dr. Jon D. Mandrell for the Murfreesboro presidency. Mandrell is currently vice president of academics and student services at Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon, Ill., where he has worked in a number of teaching and administrative roles since 2008.
The Board will meet at 10 a.m. May 30 at the TBR system office at 1 Bridgestone Park in Nashville, just west of the Lebanon Pike-Briley Parkway interchange. Interested persons may also listen to the meeting by telephone by requesting call-in information from Board Secretary Sonja Mason no later than 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 29, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 615.366.3927
Mandrell holds a Doctor of Education degree in community college leadership from Ferris State University in Michigan, and Master of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees, both in law enforcement and justice administration from Western Illinois University.
Prior to entering higher education, Mandrell served as a police corporal in the Oregon, Ill., Police Department, supervising patrol officers, representing the department as a liaison with K-12 education and managing a juvenile offender program. He became an adjunct instructor in criminal justice, juvenile delinquency and cultural diversity at Sauk Valley Community College in 2008, and then joined the faculty full-time as an assistant professor of criminal justice a year later.
In June 2012, he became the college's dean of instructional services, and was named dean of academics and student services in 2014. The title was changed to vice president of academics and student services in 2016.
The chancellor's recommendation follows a national search led by a 13-member Search Advisory Committee the Board appointed in March. The committee was chaired by Regent Joey Hatch and included two other members of the Board of Regents and representatives of the college's faculty, staff, students, the community and local business.
The committee received and reviewed applications from across the nation before submitting three finalists to the chancellor for final interviews. Her recommendation must be acted upon by the full Board.
The president is the chief executive officer of the college, reporting to the Board of Regents through the chancellor. Dr. Lynn Kreider retired as president of the college February 28. Dr. Carol Puryear, TBR vice chancellor for economic and community development and a former director of TCAT Murfreesboro, is serving as interim president until the next president takes office. The Board of Regents approved criteria for the next president at its December meeting.
The College System of Tennessee is the state's largest public higher education system, with 13 community colleges, 27 colleges of applied technology and the online TN eCampus serving approximately 140,000 students. The system is governed by the Tennessee Board of Regents.

THE Western Downs Local Drought Committee has been spectacularly sacked with the Palaszczuk government claiming it has been compromised following LNP Opposition interference.
Agriculture Minister Mark Furner said he had decided to "refresh" the membership of the Western Downs LDC.
The sackings follows ongoing fall out from Mr Furner's decision to only partially drought declare the 38,000sq km Western Downs Shire.
"It is my view that the committee process has been manipulated for political gain," Mr Furner told parliament.
"The LDC's are meant to be free from political influence, to avoid lobbying, and ensure members are free to make unencumbered decisions based on science that will serve the community for the coming 12 months.
"Given that I believe the committee has been compromised, I have instructed the department to relieve the LDC of their duties."
Committee members were advised of their sacking by DAF's south region director Richard Routley.
The Western Downs Local Drought Committee is chaired by well known Department of Agriculture officer Ross Ballin. Mr Ballin is understood to chair a number of drought committees which are comprised of farmers.
Sacked committee member and Chinchilla graingrower Greg Stanke was adamant there had been no political interference from the LNP.
"We normally have one meeting a year, in April," said Mr Sankey, who joined the inaugural committee 35 years ago.
"At that meeting the majority said the drought declaration should be revoked. However, we decided to meet again in August because the season had deteriorated so badly.
"We unanimously voted that the whole of Western Downs be again drought declared. "Usually it takes a week to get a decision from the minister. This time it took a month. I guess he didn't like what we had to say."
Tony Perrett hits back
LNP Opposition agriculture spokesman Tony Perrett rejected claims there had been interference saying the Western Downs LDC only became aware of its sacking from the minister's statement in parliament.
"No other representation was made to members prior to that announcement," Mr Perrett said.
"Of most concern is the fact that Western Downs was only partially declared, despite the fact these was a unanimous consensus among the six local drought committee members present at the committee meeting held on August 21.
"Clearly the minister has blatantly rejected the committee's recommendation and didn't like what they had to say because it embarrassed him after what had played out in the media prior, with Ann Leahy (LNP Warrego) calling on the reconvening of the committee.
"Mr Furner clearly did not like what the committee was tell him because it would embarrass him and he did not want to see extra government assistance go to affected farmers. This is nothing short of heartless and reckless."
Mr Perrett said the Opposition had requested documents and notes from the Western Downs LDC meeting held on August 21 as well as a copy of the briefing note to the minister under the Right to Information Act.
"These will take weeks to come through, but we are determined to get to the truth," Mr Perrett said.
"The worry is that if the minister can do this to Western Downs, it can do it to any region. Just because the facts say your region is dry and suffering from drought does not meant he minister will extend those communities the courtesy of a drought declaration, even if warranted."
Drought assistance
Western Downs lost its drought status after the drought committee met in April and recommended that the drought status be revoked based on a number of useful rainfall events between October 2017 and March 2018.
"Drought declared producers are able to access Drought Relief Assistance Scheme (DRAS) fodder and water freight subsidies and emergency water infrastructure rebates, as well as access other programs in the Queensland Drought Assistance Package.
"This includes relief from electricity charges, land rent rebates and water licence waivers as well as access to a number of community and mental health programs.
"However I'd like to stress that even if a producer lives in a shire that is not drought declared, they can apply for an Individually Droughted Property (IDP) declaration which gives them access to the same relief assistance.
The partial drought-declaration of Western Downs brings the total area of Queensland officially in drought to 58.13 per cent. Some parts of Queensland have been in drought since 2013.

|Wesley, my favorite cow on the planet.
Time and time again, readers are asking me about veganism and how it plays a role in my health and well-being, as well as why I chose to go vegan. I feel it is time to make a simple statement about this on the blog. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. If you don't agree with my views, that is quite alright, but please respect my choice to live compassionately.
Since the blog focuses so much on health, it is important for me to stress that while I did not go vegan for my health, I actually get to reap lots of rewards by adhering to a vegan diet. Many doctors and nutritionists believe that a plant-based diet wards off heart-disease, diabetes, keeps our bodies running cleaner and more efficiently, and can even have a positive effect on things like mood and reproductive cycles. As one example, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., a renowned physician in the cardiology field, worked for decades with Cleveland Clinic curing peoples' heart disease by having them go on a specialized plant-based diet. Not only do I enjoy giving my body such wonderful fresh foods, I just feel so much better when I eat whole plant-based foods.
A blogger that I follow, Peacechicken, wrote a fantastic blog entry stating, "while the health benefits are nice, I ultimately chose to be vegan because I awoke to the absolutely horrific suffering that billions of animals endure every year at the hands of humans."
|Naomi, a turkey we rescued.
That sums up my experiences, as well. I was vegetarian for many years before going vegan, and when I learned the truth behind the dairy and egg industries, it was only natural to stop consuming and using all animal products. I have been an animal-lover my entire life, and when I stopped to think about how I treated our family dogs and cats with the utmost respect and love, but I didn't think for one second what the mother cow endured in order to have her milk in my diet, I was completely saddened and sickened with myself. I believe that we, as a whole, are very desensitized as youth, and by the time we reach adulthood we are so removed from the process of what we eat that we don't even make the connection that these creatures on our plates are just like us – living, breathing, sentient beings that deserve the same amount of respect and freedom as we do.
If you are interested in learning more, I am happy to help. I have happily been vegan for almost 15 years and will not ever go back to a lifestyle full of cruelty.
There is a great movie that I recommend everyone watch; "The feature film Forks Over Knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods." Obviously EDS is genetic, and POTS is secondary to EDS, but that only means we need to take even better care of ourselves. A preview of the movie is below, as well as the entire movie "Earthlings," if you would like to educate yourself – it is the movie that changed my life and made me want to be vegan. Thanks for taking the time to read this and become more informed about things you have the power to help change.

Global Payroll is Complicated
Manage all your local payroll operations from one central, integrated operations console
Automate processes and data flows to free up time and reduce cost
Get full visibility into your global employees' payroll data at the click of a button
Establish strong operational controls and oversight to ensure compliance
"Visionary. Lightyears Ahead!"
We've been using a global aggregator solution from a leading global payroll provider for more than 10 years. In terms of functionality and design, Payzaar is lightyears ahead of that solution. The team has a great vision for the future of payroll.
"Great flexibility"
We process our payroll across different countries with outsourced partners as well as - increasingly - inhouse with our own internal payroll teams. Most other global payroll solutions would force us to outsource all of our local payroll operations. Payzaar is flexible to support both inhouse and outsourced payrolls while providing full global integration.
"No rip and replace!"
We are generally very happy with our local payroll solutions. The traditional global payroll solutions would have forced us to rip and replace our local solutions and we just couldn't get that business case to work. Payzaar works with the existing local solutions, so no need to rip and replace.
"Pick and choose!"
What is really nice about Payzaar's model is that it lets you pick and choose your local vendors. You don't need to make any wholesale changes to your local vendor landscape to benefit from the global aggregation, instead you can swap out local vendors selectively only where warranted, avoiding unnecessary disruption.
"Clean & Simple Design"
I love the clean, simple design. It has a modern and fresh user interface that make it very easy to use. The app has been well thought out, information is neatly and intuitively organized and at my fingertips where and when I need it. No painful menus to remember or annoying pop-up windows here!
"Real Payroll Experts"
It's refreshing to work with someone who really understands the ins & outs of payroll. Clearly, the Payzaar team not only has a very strong technological vision for the future of payroll but really understands the day-to-day challenges that payroll administrators are facing.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 lifecycle ending
Here's a heads up! Windows 7 & Windows Server 2008 R2 lifecycle is coming to an end.
We have customers of all sizes and budgets and want to give you as much warning and preparation time as possible so that you can schedule any required works over a longer period. By enabling you to plan your budgets well in advance, it will reduce any sudden and unexpected financial impacts on your business.
What's happening?
Windows 7 & Windows 2008 R2, which are systems that you might be currently using, will no longer be supported by Microsoft.
January 14th 2020 (that sounds like a far-off date, but trust us, it isn't).
What does that mean?
It means Microsoft will no longer send any security patches out for these products. If your business is using either or both of these products, this means that your system won't be properly protected anymore and that you could be hacked or suffer a security breach.
What's the impact?
All machines running on Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 will be more vulnerable to Hackers as there will be no means to patch vulnerabilities, leaving you open to a security breach. An example of this is the NHS network that was compromised after the Windows XP Operating System reached its end of life.
What's the Risk?
Aside from leaving your IT infrastructure open to attack, your business could be at risk of data breaches and non-compliance with GDPR and Cybersecurity best practice. The potential costs could far outweigh the price of employing an expert team to help you.
What can we do?
Speak to us and we can provide you with a free Hardware and Software Health Audit of your entire IT Estate. Our free audit report will:

What happens with Civil Recovery
Your details and that of the incident will be passed to us (in accordance with the Data Protection Laws) by our clients because you were involved in an incident at their premises. The Police may or may not have been involved, - either does not prevent a civil claim. You may or may not have been given a Notice of Intended Civil Recovery by our client, - either does not prevent a civil claim.
As our client's agent, all the details are checked to ensure the alleged incident of civil wrongdoing complies with relevant civil law and the core principles for civil recovery. Our first letter advises of when, where and in whose premises the incident occurred, how the civil liability has arisen and the amount of the claim. It details the options available to address the matter. A Q&A sheet is also included to assist.
Where there is straightforward denial of any wrongful action, a defense needs to be submitted outlining what happened on the day and why there was no theft/fraud, as it is not enough to just say, liability is denied. This is then investigated further and the parties advised of the other's account. If your dispute has any basis of a Defense in law, the matter is not likely to proceed further.
Where there has been a "mistake" on your part, responsibility is still required as your actions created a sequence of events. Your actions reasonably led loss prevention personnel to believe that you intended to leave their premises without paying/deliberately returned incorrect items for a refund. The claim can be settled without an admission of liability if required.
Where there are mitigating factors involved such as financial pressures or health issues, these need to be evidenced along with a request for them to be considered. Although there is not a legal requirement to consider such factors, as ethical companies, businesses understand the challenges that individuals face and upon receipt of evidence such circumstances will be taken into some consideration.
Financial negotiations can be entered into by the parties to reach an amicable settlement. The ability to pay by monthly instalments or agree payment at a future date can also be arranged.
Often those involved in incidents are scared, ashamed, angry and/or upset. The claim is not ours, RLP provide a legal administration function for its clients. Our client is bringing its claim as a result of your actions. Our role is to assist where possible in obtaining an outcome for both parties that is mutually acceptable.

Remember the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016)? If you can't put a face to that name, maybe these cache of images will help. They appear to be official images for the China Mobile version of the phone.
Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) in Gold
These images give us a great close-up of the corners of the J5, which are very similar to those of the more premium Galaxy A (2016) lineup. A leaked manual already pointed to a metal frame, but here's more proof if you needed it.
A notch on the back cover (visible in the side shot) suggests the back will be removable. It also has a slight brushed metal texture. Two color options are shown - White and Gold.
Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) in White
Additional specs (obtained from the GFX Bench database) point to a 5.2" screen with 720p resolution, a Super AMOLED, plus a Snapdragon 410 chipset with 2GB of RAM. The phone ran Android 5.1.1 during the test and had 16GB of total storage. The Galaxy J5 (2016) will have a 13MP camera with 1080p video capture.
Thanks for the tip, Roland!

gold looks good to me. white and black is generic looking
It's your preference. I love the Gold colour and my wife loved it too.

WWF praises Australia's National Reserve System
An independent audit by WWF-Australia has praised efforts to build the National Reserve System as 'arguably the Australian Government's biggest conservation success story'.
Environment Minister Tony Burke today launched the WWF-Australia Building Nature's Safety Net 2011 report in Canberra. "Almost 20 years since former Prime Minister Bob Hawke first championed the idea of a National Reserve System, this independent report describes its critical role in protecting biodiversity and saving threatened species from extinction," Mr Burke said.
Today the National Reserve System is a vibrant network of some 9,415 reserves, covering a range of ecosystems across the nation. The WWF report describes the National Reserve System as 'excellent value for money' - costing an average of only $47 a hectare to buy wildlife habitat and protect it forever through the National Reserve System, or just $5 a hectare to support the declaration and management of Indigenous Protected Areas.

My first morning in Bogotá brings disturbing news. There on the front page of El Tiempo — waiting outside the carved doors of my lofty room at the Hotel de la Ópera, in the city's rambling colonial neighborhood of La Candelaria — is a chilling headline. The night before, some 30,000 people had massed in the Parque Metropolitano Simón Bolívar, the sprawling memorial to the continent's boldest revolutionary, to see Coldplay.
Coldplay? That's what I came to Colombia for? The safest band on the planet playing the safest three chords on the planet? You can get that sort of flimflam in Orlando, Fla. I had heard Bogotá was safe for travelers, that the guerrillas who once held the Supreme Court hostage were gone, that the narco thugs had taken up jobs in the booming economy, that galleries and cafes were ascendant. But seriously, Coldplay?
Not so long ago, Bogotá was a dangerous and deeply sketchy place. In the months after the inauguration of President Álvaro Uribe in August 2002, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, the nation's jungle-based leftist guerrillas, bombed the city several times, killing dozens of people. A few blocks south of the city's main square — the Plaza de Bolívar, flanked by the national congress and the Palace of Justice — a vast slum once housed 10,000 people, many addicted to pasta de cocaína, or paco, a paste used to process cocaine that can destroy the nervous system. The city leveled the slum in 2005 and built a transportation hub on top.
Among the seediest neighborhoods was La Candelaria. Gunfights and knifings were once nightly tragedies. Residents would rush between home and work, then back again, and largely stay indoors. Today the area's narrow streets, lined with Spanish-tiled roofs and Creole iron balconies, some dating back 400 years, are home to a lively mix of artists, activists and students. Upscale cafes sit beside redolent religious icon shops, and local peasants selling fresh grilled corn or loose cigarettes to gringos stand in the shadows of stately museums.
The Hotel de la Ópera turns out to be a good starting place to explore La Candelaria. Set in a pair of 19th-century town houses that once garrisoned Simón Bolívar's personal guards, the hotel is a block from Plaza de Bolívar and one door down from the Teatro Colon. (I woke to the sound of a fellow guest warming up his vocal cords for that night's opera.) From the top-floor cafe, you can see the Escher-esque maze of terra-cotta rooftops and domes and, if your Spanish is good, eavesdrop on the breakfast patter of a congressman and his pretty assistant.
Bogotá sits on a plateau nearly two miles high in the Andes. Its largest peak, Monserrate, looms directly above La Candaleria, topped by a white church where hundreds of pilgrims celebrate Sunday Mass (some crawling on their knees to get there). Along the narrow streets heading up toward Monserrate sit several cultural institutions: the Botero Museum, with its whimsically corpulent mistresses and Madonnas; the two-year-old Centro Cultural Gabriel García Márquez, a modernist structure of blond brick with a bookstore, art galleries and a cafe; and, a few blocks over to the north, the Gold Museum, commemorating Spanish greed and colonial conquest.
Around lunchtime I stumble into a 250-year-old courtyard lined with iron balconies and palm trees, thinking it was a museum, only to discover La Sociedad, one of the top Colombian restaurants in the city. The tilapia with plantains is excellent, but I have to endure the flat patter of my white-haired Ohio neighbors, lavishly praising their young waiter's broken English. After a quick glimpse of the statues of the divine infant Jesus at the Almacén Relicario, a few doors down, I grab a tamarindo pastry from La Puerta Falsa, the city's oldest confectionery, and begin my own pilgrimage.
The real Bogotá, for my taste, is farther out and up the hill. Past the tourist cafes and candlelit bars — where the 200-year-old walls are three feet thick — past the graffitied doors that read no mas paras ("no more paramilitaries"), lies the Chorro de Quevedo, a tiny brick square where Bogotá was founded in 1538. Its low walls and dirty steps are littered with tattooed skaters, uniformed schoolchildren and partyers waiting for the clubs to open. The narrow alleys are filled with boutiques and bars. At El Balón de Verde, there's live jazz most days and bossa nova on Sundays. The Merlin, a cavelike cafe in a 200-year-old building with candle wax on the floor and staff in tie-dyed T-shirts, is the gathering place for an underground creative scene — painters, potters, performance artists.
Andres Olaya, a 32-year-old with a shaved head and a tuft of green hair sprouting in the back, greets me on the square like a friend. "There are so many tourists who come here now," he tells me. Olaya began studying art at age 12 at Teatro La Candelaria, one of the many schools that give the neighborhood its bohemian edge. He runs a small circus troupe called Artefacto that plies the tourist squares, but he says the Chorro "is our backyard."
Nearby, a chubby young woman in a purple derby practices on a unicycle. A dreadlocked man balances a crystal ball on his forehead. Near a tiny church that flanks the square, a private security guard in a dirty shirt holds a muzzled Rottweiler on a leash. The guards and their muzzled dogs — like canine Hannibal Lecters — are a disturbingly common sight all over the city. "It's not as safe here as you think," says Olaya, who has gang-script tattoos on his forearms that read (alternately) cirkus clowns. "The day is O.K., but not the night." The unicyclist, a street performer from Spain, pulls me over to a dusty tree and shows me blood splattered on the paving stones near the tree's roots. "Last night, one man stabbed another man right here," she says. "I never feel safe here."
Bogotá indeed has deep shadows. As in any city of 7.3 million grappling with drugs and poverty, you can find trouble or it can find you. For me, part of the city's appeal is this dark, struggling soul. But it is also true that Bogotá is a safer place today than in the days of Pablo Escobar, particularly in the gentrifying northern neighborhoods of Usaquén and Zona T, on the other side of town from the Chorro. In 1993, homicides hit a peak at 4,378. By last year, it had dropped 80 percent, to 1,307. Robberies, on the other hand, have risen from 7,675 in 2000 to 11,057 in 2008. The drop in violence is thanks to tough-on-crime security measures — the Rottweilers, along with riot cops in body armor, who regularly swarm public squares and have earned themselves the nickname RoboCops.
For the most part, Bogotá has a right to proclaim its status as a safer place, even if the attempt can be awkward. The Colombian tourism office goes out of its way to compare Bogotá's crime rate favorably with Miami's. Its unusual slogan is: "Colombia, the only risk is wanting to stay."
"The entire world now looks to Colombia as a place for vacation, conventions, adventure, culture, history," says Luis Guillermo Plata, Colombia's minister of tourism. The pitch seems to be working. Foreign visitors who once bypassed Bogotá for the north-coast beaches of Barranquilla or the colonial charm of Cartegena are now putting the city on their itineraries. The number of foreigners visiting the city has nearly doubled over the past six years, and 11 new hotels have opened, with 18 more under construction.
The city's striving spirit is on full display Friday afternoons, when the city shuts down Carrera Septima (Seventh Avenue), in the central business district, for its weekly pedestrian-only Septimazo. The streets are filled with handicrafts, jugglers, men who make their living polishing leather jackets and businessmen holding briefcases and eating ice cream. The flashy Club de Billares Londres, with its chrome stairway and brass lanterns hanging over its pool tables, is empty as it prepares for another fashion shoot and film party. Nearby, the family-run San Isidro bakery is desolate — but wait until 5 a.m., when the postbar crowd comes looking for breakfast.
"The workers who come from the south will stay in the center all night dancing," says Margarita María Bedoya, a 35-year-old former commercial TV producer who moved here from Cali a decade ago. We are having a heavy lunch at El Envigadeño, an out-of-the-way place hidden behind a pair of blue corrugated doors. The restaurant serves a meat-rich, northern Antioquian cuisine and is never mentioned in guidebooks.
Bedoya likes to salsa dance, but she never goes to the fashionable clubs in the north of the city. "In the north, you have to be beautiful, and maybe they don't let you alone, the men," says Bedoya, who is plenty pretty herself. She left Cali because of the drug wars there but has seen many of her countrymen return to Colombia in the past few years. "Everybody is coming back." A wooden plate the size of a wagon wheel arrives at our table, packed with beef, pork, chorizo, rice and beans. "Do you know this music?" she asks, gesturing to the speaker at our table. "It is called música del despecho, music of bad woman and broken hearts." I ask if there are dance clubs here in the center where we can go. "No, it is dangerous for foreigners. You are better off in the north." Then she begins to sing to the music, wagging her finger at me, mouthing no, no, no, no.
"Foreign people come here to escape safety," says Richard, a 32-year-old Scandinavian seafood importer. "Western countries are too arranged and safe. There's nothing to be done, no more adventure." (Richard asked that I not use his last name because he's careful to keep his professional and social lives separate.)
It is a chilly spring Saturday night, and we are in a bustling club in the Zona T, the upscale neighborhood in the north named for the T-shaped pedestrian strip at its center. The area has about 50 clubs and bars, each pulsating with reggaetón, dance, salsa or house music. Richard, a tall, friendly and good-looking blond, is yelling over the chatter of Bogotá's yuppied classes, fresh from work in blue suits or demure skirts, or else pimped out in Adidas sneakers (men) or sparkly heels (women) and cleavage-baring tops (both).
The street is congested with thousands of revelers, each one better looking than the last. By my count — and I am counting closely — women outnumber men three to one. "Women are the main tourist attraction here, don't let anyone fool you on that," Richard says. "That and cocaine." He gives me a knowing wink. "You know cocaine, ya?"
Well, ya, I say. But I tell him I had the impression that while Colombia is the largest exporter of the drug to the United States, it is frowned upon by polite society here. We are with a crowd of a half dozen people, and a young woman looks at me appalled. "Why do you people always speak of cocaine?" she says. "Where do you see cocaine?"
I mutter an apology, but a young Colombian pipes up: "Give me 60,000 pesos right now and I will get you cocaine." I try to explain that I am only doing research. Everyone laughs. "60,000 pesos!" the man says. "It is no problem. Enough to fill a child's sock!"
Partying in the Zona T means three things: drinking, dancing and chasing the opposite sex (or the same sex, depending). To this end, the people I have fallen in with are well disposed to offer their advice and their example, but mostly by way of failure this night. Anders Westman, a 53-year-old Michiganite with tanned model looks and a rooster tail of blond bangs, just arrived in Bogotá after attending Carnaval up north. He is a South American playboy by nature and by admission. "I had more game in Barranquilla than any place," he says good-naturedly. "The women in the north are wonderful. They never see gringos."
The streets are mobbed with glamour packs checking each other out, looking for the next disco, for more aguardiente — a local sambuca-like liquor — and dancing. We pull into a cavernous club called Spin and sit outdoors beneath a large leafy tree. On a nearby street, Ninja motorcycles roar past, the drivers wearing the distinctive orange vests emblazoned with license-plate numbers that are required by law, to fight drive-by thefts and killings. The night air is aromatic with flowers, cigars, perfume and the drifting exhaust of the bikes.
"Can I use your cellphone?" asks a young American man I'd just met. He had recently discovered that his Colombian girlfriend of eight months is married. (He asked not to be indentified because he fears for his safety.) He texts her an angry missive and regrets it. "I'm starting to feel this place close in on me," he says. "I need to move to Costa Rica."
Inside the bar, the D.J. in his glass booth is blasting Daddy Yankee's "Gasolina." A hundred girls are on the dance floor while a two-story-tall projection screen shows incongruously calm images of beach and surf, like the B-roll video in a karaoke bar. The bartender looks like Kim Cattrall. A member of our party excitedly introduces me and she smiles broadly while shaking a cocktail, asking about New York.
While the bartender flirts with me, Westman comes in from outside and starts talking in my other ear: "Your American friend needs to learn about Colombian women. He needs to ask what their daily life was like — growing up in poverty with a complete breakdown of safety." He looks around, his dazzling teeth breaking into a smile as a group of teenage girls staggers past. "We will never understand Colombians.
You fall in love with the first beautiful woman you would never get back home. You must ask: What does she want?"
The crowd is now jumping up and down to Lady Gaga's "Poker Face." Kim Cattrall comes out from behind the bar and starts fist pumping and swinging her hair around. She pulls me onto the dance floor. But I don't dance and it's awkward. She doesn't seem to mind or even notice. Westman comes by and claps me on the back to tell me he and his friends are leaving and says, "So now you have a Colombian girlfriend."
On Sunday morning, with my head aching from too much aguardiente, I hop into an S.U.V. and cruise the deserted but oddly clean streets of Zona T. The driver is Berny Silberwasser, a 36-year-old Bogotano I met through a friend who lives in Usaquén. He's one of the city's biggest success stories. In 2001, Silberwasser (whose grandfather immigrated to Colombia from Germany) started the Bogotá Beer Company. Today the brewery has 10 pubs throughout the city, and his business is still growing.
We are headed to Usaquén, a charming and remote-feeling little neighborhood farther north, where one of the city's most vibrant and eclectic flea markets sets up every Sunday. A former town that is now part of the city, it's where rich Bogotanos had weekend homes and ranches. Its green is dominated by a colonial church on the north, and it still feels like a rural village.
On Sundays the neighborhood is thronged with tourists and locals escaping the city center. They come to hear cuenteros, or storytellers, who draw crowds of up to 200 people on the steps near the church. They come to buy indigenous bracelets from dirty-fingered little girls, who braid them into images of Che Guevara or scorpions. The sun-drenched streets today are filled with people selling puppies, pushing schnauzers in baby strollers or draping Labradors over their arms as they pass through the crowds.
"There is a generation of Colombians who have never seen parts of Colombia," Silberwasser says when we get to Abasto, a cafe in Usaquén where we are having brunch. "They could not travel outside the cities because, rich or poor, you would get kidnapped. Now people have little farms outside the city and they can travel freely."
We are sitting on vintage stuffed couches and large leather chairs, classical music playing overhead, in the back of the restaurant, a house built in the 1940s. Fresh bananas hang from the ceiling, and the walls are done in Caribbean blues and reds. One of Abasto's owners and its chef, Luz Beatriz Vélez, appears in a white cook's coat. She is slight and gentle and friendly and looks an awful lot like Joan Baez would if she cooked.
Vélez knows Silberwasser well and makes small talk with our group, asking about families. Manuel Maiguashca, a former deputy minister of energy and mines, has taken me aside to praise the work of President Uribe, under whom he served for six and a half years. "The security has led to the opening up of oil and energy exploration," says Maiguashca, who biked here from his house 20 minutes away and is wearing jeans and a zip-up sweater.
"Did you hear?" Maiguashca says to the group. "There were 23 private jets from Argentina that arrived for the Coldplay concert. If that doesn't tell you Bogotá is safe, I don't know what does." We all dig into our eggs and arepas as Vélez brings around fresh espressos. I ask if it's at all unusual, having a large band like Coldplay play outdoors in Bogotá. "Oh, it would not have happened five years ago," Maiguashca says. "And do you know who is coming next week?" I'm afraid to find out. He leans close. "Metallica," he says happily.

June is just around the corner, and we're almost halfway through 2015 already. It's a great time to take stock of the insights our bloggers have shared so far this year — and which of these insights have proved most popular with our readers all across the public sector.
One of the most popular (most often clicked and shared) posts so far this year was just published earlier this month: The Telecommuting Win-Win. This great piece from Xerox expert Travis Pierce spelled out the benefits of telecommuting for employer and employee alike. Said Pierce: "At Xerox, more than 8,000 employees work remotely 100 percent of the time. Thousands of other employees have telecommuting options 'as needed'. Forbes recently interviewed Xerox, along with Dell and Atena, because we're recognized as one of the most forward-thinking and progressive companies when it comes to offering telecommuting options."
Also very popular were two posts from VP and Client Executive Chuck Brooks: Servicing the Internet of Things and the New Digital Economy, and Solving Problems With Technology Convergence. The former was actually published in 2014 but continues to be shared and clicked steadily, showing the enduring appeal of insight on this topic. Of the latter, Brooks wrote: "And we've only tapped the surface. Social media, especially LinkedIn, is set to become a mainstream platform for public and private sector collaboration. Data mining and predictive analytics will be fundamental to the effective implementation of convergence technologies and the cloud will be increasingly important for pooling resources and information distribution."
We've also gotten lots of attention on John Polk's Child Support Payments Are Going Mobile post, previewing the changes coming to our ExpertPay online payment site. Those changes include a new mobile app and a revamped web portal that will make things easier for employers, obligors, and payroll companies remitting child support payments at the state level. "Child support customers, like customers in other industries, demand the convenience mobile access brings," said Polk. "That convenience is coming, and its benefits are just around the corner."
Rounding out the most-read and most-shared posts of the year so far are two posts in the electronic payments area: Experience Matters in a Prepaid Card Partner and Simplifying Payments: Multiple Benefits on One Card, both from our VP of Card Strategic Solutions, JB Donaldson. On the topic of financial inclusion, she wrote, "It is estimated that 88 million Americans are either unbanked or underbanked, relying on check-cashing storefronts to get funds. Payment cards are transforming that process by connecting the unbanked with quick, easy access to their funds, while avoiding costly fees associated with paper checks. Today, many states are taking this process one step further by adopting payment card programs that offer multiple benefit payments on one card to help enhance service to constituents, improve access to funds and to simplify procurement."

Indicating just how richly layered the history of human culture is, a new exhibit of artifacts and information about Native Americans of the Great Plains has opened up, not in some midwestern U.S. metropolis, but in the small medieval Italian city of Pinerolo, in the northwest, between Turin and the border with France.
The creators of the exhibit also illustrate this diversity. Dario Seglie is a specialist in rock art, and the Director of CeSMAP, the Study Centre and Museum of Prehistoric Art in Pinerolo. Enrico Comba is a cultural anthropologist at Torino University, and vice Director of the Museum of Pinerolo, focusing on Native American religions and mythological traditions.
These two Italian researchers with a passion for Native American history and culture answered a few questions I had for them about the exhibit. In the end, their enthusiasm and ambition are perhaps as inspiring as the exhibit itself.
(Some of their answers have been edited for clarity.)
What first inspired you to take an interest in Native American history and culture?
Enrico has devoted the last twenty-five years to the study of Native American Cultures, especially in the Plains and Midwest areas. He has conducted field trips and researches in Wisconsin, Michigan, South Dakota and Montana.
In 1999, Dario and Enrico participated as chairs at the International Federation of Rock Art Organizations (IFRAO) International Congress, held in Ripon, Wisconsin, where they became acquainted with North American rock art research and its relationships with Native American historical cultures. Here they established many forms of collaboration with American scholars in various fields.
That was at the origin of the idea to make up this exhibit.
What are some of the highlights of the exhibit for you?
The main highlights of the "THE NATIVE AMERICAN UNIVERSE" exhibit are the following:
- the importance of the buffalo as the basis of subsistence for the peoples of the Plains
- the curious evolutionary history of the horse, which was born in America, migrated in the Old World while it was extinguished in its homeland, and successively was reintroduced by the Spanish conquerors, spread in the grasslands of North America, and was adopted by the natives who quickly became equestrian hunters and warriors
- the relationship between animals and humans in the cultural universe of the natives, which was characterized by a relationship between human and other-than-human persons, by respect and spiritual reverence
- the fact that Plains area rock art sites viewed as sacred places are still visited sometimes by the natives for spiritual practices
- the cosmology of the Plains Indians, which was projected on the landscape, so that prominent parts of it, like the Black Hills, Devils Tower, Bear Butte, were seen as a mirror image of stars and constellations in the night sky (this section of the exhibit is placed in the 17th-century St. Augustin Church in the historic center of Pinerolo)
- the history of the conflict between Plains warriors and the military cavalry of US Army, often called the "Indian Wars" (this section of the Exhibit is placed in the military National Museum of Cavalry in the city of Pinerolo)
- an understanding of the "Imaginary Indian", the image of the Native American as it was created by literature (e. g. the novelist Emilio Salgàri 1862-1911), the comics, the motion pictures, and other productions of popular culture (this part of the exhibit is placed in the central Public Library of the city of Pinerolo)
What do you hope people will learn by visiting the exhibit?
We expect first of all that people could learn something about cultures which are far away, little-known, and possibly perceived in a distorted way due to the stereotyped images that popular cultures has built over them.
We then hope people can take a deeper look into another culture's way of seeing the world, nature, animals, landscape–a way that can be appealing but that can also be an admonishment for our own future.
There will be also didactic activities with local schools, for guided visits, laboratories, teaching lessons, that would stimulate the interest and respect for cultures different from our own. And this message is probably the most important–the central core of the Pinerolo Exhibit "THE NATIVE AMERICAN UNIVERSE".
"THE NATIVE AMERICAN UNIVERSE" opened December 3, 2011 and has been extended to remain open in 2013. For more information visit www.cesmap.it or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Goals against average (GAA) is a statistic used in ice hockey that is the mean of goals allowed per game by a goaltender or goalie. It is calculated by dividing the number of minutes played by 60 minutes (one game) then dividing the goals against by that answer (the calculation does not count empty net goals or shootout goals).
- Example: If you allowed 4 goals in 180 minutes your GAA is 1.33 (180 divided 60 = 3. 4 divided by 3 = 1.33).
Another way is to take the amount of goals against, multiply that by 60 minutes (one game), and then divide by the amount of minutes played. It is typically given to two decimal places.
- Example: If you allowed 4 goals in 180 minutes your GAA is 1.33 (4 times 60 = 240. 240 divided by 180 = 1.33).
The result, both ways, suggests that for every full game you play, you allow 1.33 goals.
Since the statistic is highly dependent on the team playing in front of a goalie, save percentage is usually considered a more accurate measure of a goaltender's skill.

Comedian Kevin Hart is well-known for generating big laughs.
However, he also has a pretty big heart, donating $50,000 to HBCU Texas Southern University's band after hearing that the Tom Joyner Foundation was trying to send the members to go see Michael Strahan—a famed alumnus known for the most sacks in a single season—inducted into the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, Black Enterprise reports.
The beloved radio host was grateful for Hart's support and doubled down on the favor, buying 100 tickets to the star's latest movie, Think Like a Man Too, in return for his support. Joyner gave away the tickets on the air.
"Since Kevin did the $50,000 donation, I thought it would be a great idea to support his movie. So I've bought 100 tickets to the 10 a.m. show," Joyner announced on his show.
Looks like a bunch of good karma is circulating around both men.

PC-maker Acer is consulting with Microsoft after Redmond's announcement that it is building its own Surface tablets running Windows 8, according to a news report.
The news isn't surprising, but it was attributed to J.T. Wang, chairman and CEO of Acer Inc., in a Digitimes story. On Thursday, Wang reportedly said that Acer doesn't fear the competition with Microsoft, but it "only wishes to understand the new rules of the game, and so will continue to try to communicate with Microsoft to understand the situation."
Microsoft unveiled its line of Surface tablet machines on June 19. Some of its hardware partners building Windows 8 PCs, including Acer, were taken by surprise and were not made aware of the Surface project until its debut.
Wang suggested that Microsoft is considering "creating a price gap to minimize the negative impact on other vendors' product lineups," according to the Digitimes story. At the $499 to $599 price range for a Surface device, the effect would be less severe on partners, according to the story.
Microsoft hasn't announced pricing for Surface, which is being launched on two hardware platforms. The Windows RT version of Surface supporting ARM components is expected to be available when Windows 8 is launched on October 26. Surface Pro, the Windows 8 version based on x86 components, is planned for launch three months later.
The fact that Wang apparently does not know what Microsoft is planning to charge for Surface at this point, two months before launch, shows the difficulties that PC makers face when Microsoft acts as both supplier and competitor.
Wang has publicly criticized Microsoft's move into the tablet hardware space. He reportedly has said that Microsoft should "think twice" about producing its own hardware, saying that "it will create a huge negative impact for the ecosystem and other brands may take a negative reaction." Wang suggested that Acer could abandon the Windows platform as a result.
Microsoft has acknowledged the potential harm in a 10-K Form filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. That form states that "our Surface devices will compete with products made by our OEM partners, which may affect their commitment to our [Windows] platform."
Original equipment manufacturers that have indicated forthcoming Windows 8 products include Acer, Asus, Dell, Lenovo and Toshiba, based on June Computex announcements.

If you're a business owner or IT administrator looking for the best business-grade internet service in Georgetown, FL, then you've come to the right place. Today, a company would have a hard time doing business without the Internet. These days, the Internet is crucial to a company's sustainability. For example, communication between employees is simplified with email, which requires an Internet connection. In addition, the fastest way for a customer to reach a business is via the Internet. The phone is not always reliable or at most bothersome. A business with a good Internet connection expands their ability to run a sufficient business. At Wirefly, a comparison of ISPs (Internet service providers) in Georgetown, FL will help your company make the best choice for your business internet connectivity.

Within the past two decades, there has been a major influx of options concerning internet providers in Georgetown, FL. Every year, advancements are made that make each company able to offer special services. Any business that has been with the same provider for a number of years would do well to check out other options. But every provider will have different unique limitations on what they can and will provide. For example, availability will be one issue that many will face. Many internet providers have a smaller distribution network available to their customers. Make sure that you research each option to find the one that is accessible to your geographical area. You'll find that the common types of internet connections in Georgetown, FL are: DSL, cable, satellite, fiber optic, fixed wireless, and T1.
Most ISP providers in Georgetown, FL provide more than just internet. They usually have a package of deals available to their customers. As a business, you should find the internet company that gives you all of the services that you will need to succeed, such as business phone service, email, and business web hosting. When these services are bundled together, it can save your company a great deal of cash. Many internet providers will offer internet connectivity as part of their full service package. They'll handle the aspects of the business to include support and service. These providers will also have the experience to get the job done correctly, reducing the expenses of needing to have an in-house expert available. This leads to lower costs in the future for the company.
An internet service provider should also offer consultative services. This means that an expert of the internet company will pay a personal visit to the business in question and access their various needs. They can suggest different ways for the business to improve, such as upgrading to newer technologies. A Georgetown, FL ISP should also be able to let the company know the amount of bandwidth that they need. This will be calculated on the number of employees that work within the company and how many devices are currently being used. A remote management of devices may also be suggested by the ISP provider to manage the business more effectively.
ISPs in Georgetown, FL usually offer various internet bundles based on the maximum speed of the internet connection. Bundles with slower speeds have low prices, but they may set back the business' operations. ISPs usually offer various internet packages based on the maximum speed of the internet connection. Therefore, it is important to choose an internet package that caters for peak internet usage so as to ensure there is good connectivity when internet activity is at its peak.
Many ISPs may have limitations on bandwidth based on the usage and the time of the day. It is important to enquire from the ISP on their policies on throttling and data caps before paying for a particular internet plan. There might be other limitations on the usage. For example, some ISPs ban hosting of some services on their network, so it is important to know all limitations beforehand.
Businesses in Georgetown, FL should be cautious of providers who don't offer any security services. A good ISP should provide security services such as anti-virus, anti-spam and DDOS mitigation. Ensure that the internet provider provides the details of the amount of protection offered. The resilience of an ISP is also important. A good number of ISPs offer failover for internet connections in case their network fails. Failover might cost more, but it is important to consider it if a business relies on internet connectivity to generate revenue. Providers should also provide backups for data stored on their networks; this will ensure that recovery is possible in the event of failures in the ISP's network.
Enterprises that rely on the internet for conducting their operations need more support than ISP companies offer. Such companies can lose a lot when their internet connection goes down. An advantage of having a good internet connection is ensuring that employees are productive and increase in sales.
A good Georgetown, FL ISP offers its clients a Service Level Agreement that guarantees continuous uptime. Furthermore, the business should look for solutions offered when there is an interruption in the internet connection. When internet connectivity goes down for many hours, most ISP companies offer credits off the bill to their clients. It is important to know whether the ISP has a phone line for business. Moreover, a company should be aware of the level of proficiency of the ISP's technical personnel.
Finding out the experience of other clients is important. Advice based on other businesses' experiences is valuable. You can use Wirefly to compare business internet plans in Georgetown, FL. Always conduct research on new service providers because they may be offering more than your current package. Finding a good internet provider involves more than browsing the web for information on ISP companies.
The choices that are available for a business will depend on its location. Irrespective of the available choices, however, it is important to conduct a careful analysis. Such an analysis will help a business get the most from the investment it makes in getting an ISP in Georgetown, FL. Since this is a dynamic industry, a good business internet service provider must be able to adapt to the latest trends and technologies and tweak their services accordingly.
For example, the IPv6 protocol is planned to replace IPv4 as it allows for unlimited number of IP addresses. This means that it can accommodate more devices, and more devices with internet capability literally get into the market every day. Each of these devices needs to have a unique address for easier internet configuration. This would translate to less money for a business that uses various devices to connect to the internet.
The selected business internet service provider in Georgetown, FL should demonstrate the capability to use such new technologies. Making a simple inquiry can help a business improve its efficiency while it dramatically reduces its costs at the same time.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers. Use Wirefly's innovative cell phone and plan comparison tools to ensure you are getting the best deal on the market.

UCV Disaster Recovery Plan
I would think there are two main categories here:
Where are we going to store the backup files?
- A storage space, inention being that the files would be used to restore another server at Hamburg, so no plan exists to host the site, if needed for a period of time, at the backup site.
:Drew 01:20, 11 September 2007 (CEST) Could be any one of the servers offered for use here, could be disk space on another computer in SUN or anywhere else.
- A BR site, the server is capable of hosting the site for a period time.
:Drew 01:20, 11 September 2007 (CEST)For example if we followed up with United Layer and they would supply a DR, perhaps / DEV services.
Steps taken together with and in support of hosting providers network support staff
Live backups
- database
- backup run by Sun staff, files transfered by UCV utility.
- other active content
- backup run by Sun staff, files transfered by UCV utility. UCV would be able to run some small services on a regular basis. ie vcs, minimal site presence capability
Steps taken directly by UCV site Administrators
Live backups
- Develop scripts / procedures to maintain a copy of the backup files sufficient to fully restore the site'.
Maintain Platform backup
- Create / apply backup scripts for all AMP files with mods, forum package, addon mods, site mod customizations, version control system. This is the full set of installable applications used to provide the services, exclusive of OS supplied application, and any modifications made for this site.
This can be a combination of a baseline backup of the amp files and the backup of the version control system.
Service Administrator
Content Manager
Setting up / Testing
We should install dual installations of the forum package on the server.
- The first installation will be the dev/test installation.
- This would be installed into a directory ( location ) with limited access from the net.
- It would include a separate installation of tables in the database, using a test_ prefix.
- Install any third party mods if any.
- No customization done to any of the packages at this point.
At this point the whole directory structure should be placed in a version control system.
Develop a script or scripts to generate a baseline backup bkup_dev_system - dev/test directories, VCS files. Develop a script to transfer automatically to DR server.
TEST I - at this point restore only the dev/test directories from the backup - overwriting all files. The system should be working at this point.
TEST II - Create the live forum install directory. Extract all files from the VC system into this directory. Alter the install script with live table prefix and create database tables. The live site should be functioning at this point.
Work flow for updates.
- All modifications are performed on source files in the dev/test installation.
- Files are placed into VC
- testing is performed on dev/test
- upon acceptance
- Updated files are checked out into the live installation
