More Christmas
Wow, where has these past week gone?! I had intentions of having a few posts this week but I don't know what happened, I just got really busy and I didn't have the chance. Anyway, here is another one of my Christmas cards that I sent out. The layout is cased from a card by Janine Tinklenberg. I used a strip of the Jolly Holiday DSP and cherry cobbler and old olive cardstock. This is a good layout for using some of the DSP scraps that you have lying around. I colored in one of the critters from Merry Crittermas with some copic markers and then added some chunky glitter around the edges. Overall this was a quick card except that I spent a bit of time coloring but that's ok, I like coloring. That's it for me today. Be sure to come back on the 20th for the Control Freaks Blog Tour. This month we will be featuring projects from the new occasions mini!

Low-end Txtr Beagle e-reader coming to the US for $70, not $13
Back when Txtr first revealed its enthusiastic scheme to enter the low-end e-reader market, the idea was that it would be doing so by offering the Beagle at an extremely cheap rate. Fast forward to today, and it looks as if the Txtr Beagle will undoubtedly be hitting shelves in the US, but just not at the price we had hoped -- the e-reader itself is set to be carrying a $70 tag, making it a lot more costly than the $13 device that was originally planned. If you're still interested despite the unexpected outcome, then pay our source link a visit, where you'll find the Txtr Beagle now available for pre-order and ready to take your cash.

IONIS Education Group
|IONIS Education Group
|Former la nouvelle intelligence des entreprises[1]
|Marc Sellam
|Fabrice Bardeche, Marc Drillech
|Paris, France
IONIS Education Group is the leading[4] private higher education group in France. The group was created in 1980[5] and has more than 17,000 students and 60,000 alumni in 2011 currently working in business, IT, aviation, energy, transportation, biology, management, finance, marketing, communication, and design.[6] 18 schools are members of the group.
1980 - 1993
The IONIS Education Group's history starts in 1980 when IONIS's founder Marc Sellam founds the Institut supérieur européen de gestion group in Paris with the intention to offer a business school with an alternative organization and curriculum compare to other grandes écoles.[7] In 1986, ISEG launches its settlement policy by creating a regional campus in Bordeaux followed by those of Toulouse (1987), Lille (1988), Strasbourg (1989), Nantes (1989) and Lyon (1990). In 1993, there is the creation of the Institut supérieur européen de formation par l'action, business school in three years after the Baccalaureate.[8]
1993 - 1998
In 1997, the group, originally named Intelsup,[9] buy the École pour l'informatique et les techniques avancées (university in computer science created in 1984) and takes its final legal form. During the years 1997-1998, the group buy the Institut supérieur de gestion (business school created in 1967) and the Institut polytechnique des sciences avancées (university in aeronautical and space engineering).
1998 - today
In 1999, the group creates the École pour l'informatique et les nouvelles technologies which purpose is to train computer science by practical cases and then E-Artsup in 2001, school of digital design and multimedia. The group adopts the name of IONIS Education Group in 2002, when all the schools start to teach in five years after Baccalaureate. In 2003, the group enters in a new sector, the Biotechnology, by creating the school Institut sup'biotech de Paris. ICS Bégué, a school inaugurated in 1957 which trains accountants, is incorporated into the group in 2004 as well as the École spéciale de mécanique et électricité (university in engineering founded in 1905) in 2006. The years 2007 and 2008 saw the introduction into regions through the opening campuses in Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nancy, Nantes, Nice, Montpellier, Strasbourg and Toulouse. In 2009, the group launched IONIS Executive learning centered on the Validation des Acquis de l'Experience and the IONIS School of Technology and Management which provides training on both technical and managerial aspects. In 2010, ISEG turns into a group of three different and independent schools in finance, marketing - communication and business.

As a fan of Disney, I think one of the greatest services they offer is a VIP guided tour.
This allows you to do things such as skip to the front of the line, get led in through secret back doors, and basically do more in one day (and in great style) than most may ever imagine.
It's a premium service so as you can imagine, there are people who say the price is exorbitant. These are the same people who complain about having to wait in long lines at Disney and only having time to go on 4 rides during the entire day.
Maybe if they considered that you can, for example, go on 12 rides in the time it takes others to go on one ride, they would see the value. Maybe they'd realize in the end, with a guide you can do in one day what it takes the average person multiple days, even a week, to do.
I see this in business all the time. People look for the easiest, fastest, or cheapest route without considering the whole picture.
Email marketing is a prime example.
Many businesses think, because it's so inexpensive to use, they don't need to put as much thought, time, or planning into it as they do with direct mail campaigns.
Then these same people complain about their poor open rates, declining click-throughs, and deflated results.
If you want better results, you have to consider the WHOLE picture. And you have to invest in making your emails better.
For instance, one disadvantage of email is that there is a lot more emails flooding your customers' inboxes every day. Way more obviously than there are pieces of mail being delivered to their regular mail box.
That means a lot more competition for eyeballs.
So you don't want to be sloppy about what you are sending.
Rather than firing off an email in ten minutes and blasting it out to your entire list without much thought or consideration, take the time to establish a plan with conversion goals so you know exactly what you want your audience to do before you ever write your email.
And make sure you've included the core elements needed in each email you send.
Consistency is also a factor. Whereas you can do a campaign in the mail at random times, once you start sending emails, you should deliver them consistently week in, week out without exception.
If you send email in a hit or miss, random fashion, and go missing from their inbox, people will forget about you in a heartbeat—even if you return to a regular, predictable schedule at a later date.
This doesn't mean you can't send emails at other times apart from your schedule. If you take care of the readers on your email list by sending valuable, relevant emails at regular intervals, they will pay attention at other times too.
There are many strategies you can combine with your email marketing to improve your results and increase your profits too—in many cases, well beyond the standard ROI you see quoted in studies.
In fact, rarely do I consult with a client where there aren't untapped opportunities within their email strategy. Ways to combine email with other media to get higher response.
Strategies to use with their opt-ins that can separate the looky-loos from hyper-active buyers, increase their profits, improve click-throughs, or even create more loyal customers, clients, or patients.
Split test your subject lines, layout, email length, time sent, call to action, and so on and then examine your results to see what is working and what isn't.
There is no free pass to the front of the line. If you want your emails to be the first thing your customers want to open, you have to invest in making them worthy.
NOTE: GKIC is offering Magnetic Email Marketing as a very special offer with a fantastic bonus for a limited time. If you want to discover how to effectively use email to sell more to your list and increase the lifetime value of every person on your list, click here now.

Food Forever: Biodiversity for Resilient Food Systems
In September 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, containing 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved over the next 15 years. The main objectives of the SDGs are to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change. The UN Resolution states, "This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity."
The Crop Trust recognizes that agriculture underpins these objectives. Crop diversity in particular is the key to transform our food systems to become more sustainable and resilient despite the challenges imposed by climate change and a growing population.
Target 2.5 of the SDGs specifically recognizes the importance of agricultural biodiversity for this purpose:
"By 2020, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and their related wild species, including through soundly managed and diversified seed and plant banks at the national, regional and international levels, and promote access to and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, as internationally agreed."
But there is one major problem with this vision: the world is losing agricultural biodiversity every day, and once lost it cannot be recovered. This is why the Crop Trust, launched The Food Forever Initiative: Biodiversity for Resilient Food Systems, a public awareness campaign. The Crop Trust, in collaboration with the Netherlands Government provides the secretariat function and operational support to the initiative.
Food Forever brings together prominent individuals and organizations contributing to the implementation of SDG Target 2.5 to raise awareness on the fundamental importance of crop and livestock diversity. Food Forever Champions include leaders from governments, business, civil society and academia. Her Excellency Mercedes Aráoz, Vice-President of Peru, has graciously agreed to chair this Initiative.
Food Forever seeks to communicate the urgency of conserving and using agricultural biodiversity to new audiences. Visit the website to learn more about our Champions, Partner Organizations and how you can act now to ensure food, forever.

So i've wanted to write a post like this for a while, we all know what the state of the economy is at the moment, everyone is penny pinching and trying to get the best deals. I've just started doing this also in the last few months.
I wanted to collate a list of things i'm doing to try and save money, whilst i'm buying things i need/use. Not to be confused with those crazy American's with their pointless coupons buying up shit they don't need and hoarding them for a bazillion years!
Firstly; Cashback sites.
If you don't already use these then why not!? If you've GOT to buy a new washing machine/windscreen wipers/BBQ/CD's/Clothes etc then why not get some of the money back that you've just spent, for the small price of it costing you nothing!
I've been using Top CashBack which is rated by MoneySavingExpert.com as one of the best sites to use. It's free to sign up to (if you join one that asks for a yearly fee i'd probably stay away!)
All you do before you decide just to head to the retailers website to pay for whatever is it, head to Top CashBack, sign into your account and do a search on their site, click their link to the retailer you want to buy from and you'll earn a percentage back of what you spent.
You can also get money for nothing, well taking out Equifax trials/Lovefilm trials/match.com trials etc and earn anything from £5-£25. Just make sure you cancel before the trials up!
I just made £20.20 for taking a trial out with Equifax for 30 days. Love me some free money!
Whats best about Top CashBack is that there is no minimum withdraw limit, and you can get your earnings paid by either Bacs into your account, Amazon vouchers, Tesco Clubcard points or Love2Shop vouchers. I usually just use the Bacs payment method – I can't resist cold hard cash.
From joining in January this year i've earnt £34, for just buying what i need. What's not to like?!
Second; Freebies!
If you're on Facebook, which i'm sure everyone with a beating heat is then you NEED to 'like/follow/whatever' 10 ways to have more money as a student, without working. Ignore the title you don't need to be a student to like/use the page, i'm not!
These awesome people post legendary bargains, supermarket price glitches, profit making ideas, hidden tricks & freebies.
To date I've purchased a Eastpak suitcase for £19 with an RRP price of £90, free pens, free toothpaste, free Gilette razor, free chocolate, free event tickets (me and my boy are off to the Ideal Home Show on Sunday thanks to a link, a coupon code to free tickets!) free books, vouchers, coupon codes and more.
Third and finally, WeQ4U
If you, like me, find making calls to companies with 0845/0844 numbers ridiculously pricey, i use my mobile to sort out most calls so it's even MORE expensive, then you NEED this iPhone app in your life.
WeQ4U is a ugly but FREE Android/iPhone App and Service that puts you through to UK 08 numbers for FREE, without queueing. Mobile users save approx. 30p per minute on their 0800, 0845, 0844, 0843, 0870 numbers.
The app turns these premium rate numbers into 'mobile minute friendly' numbers, which won't cost you any additional money on your contract.
If you're stuck in a call centre queue you simply key in 9* and when a call centre person answers your call, you get re-connected, so no waiting hours on end with the phone stuck to your ear.
Using this service has saved me £40+ in ringing these premium rate numbers!
Any one have any other money saving tips or websites?

Beneath The Surface
Congratulations, you own a house!
This is your new house, and it's going to be moved into your name completely free of charge, though you'll still have to pay to take care of the necessary repairs that the home may need. And those repairs…they're kind of the catch to the whole deal. See, this house is in quite the state of disrepair. The kitchen is missing a stove…and a refrigerator…and a microwave. The house does have heating and cooling, though it's in the form of a kerosene heater and a benevolent ghost-like spirit that only visits your den on Wednesdays, respectively. It's a three bedroom home, however only two of the three bedrooms have covered by a roof. Oh, and your bathroom? There's technically a bathroom, however there's a distinct lack of plumbing running to the toilet that's currently sitting in the middle of the floor. And that's just the things you know about at a quick glance.
Sounds fun, eh?
So…where do you start?
There's two schools of thought as to where to start with a problem as far-reaching as the issues with your new home. You can either address the issues that are the most pressing right away, or you can be patient, research all of the issues that the home has, and then work to prioritize them in order of those that will provide the most benefit to your future repairs. Both philosophies have their positives and their negatives. After all, installing your shitter seems like a great way to answer pressing bathroom issues, however if your floor is termite infested, there's a small chance that your newly installed commode will fall through the floor — possibly with you on it. Likewise, I doubt that you'll be able to make it the entirety of the three weeks you need to assess all of your home's problems without taking a piss. Oh…and everything needs to be fixed in five weeks. Good luck.
Seems like an insurmountable issue, right? Perhaps the problems are so wide-reaching that you're even considering turning down the offer of a "free" house. I couldn't completely blame you. There's a lot of shit to do on a lot of different levels, and the expectations aren't exactly the most manageable. Yet, it's what you need to do in order to get your reward — that house.
If it was up to me, the solution would be simple. I'd go hole up in a hotel room for five weeks while I'm in the planning and fixing stages of the process, start from the home's foundation, and build up and out to the home's roof. However, if there's anything that I've learned in life, it's that a large majority of people disagree with me. The general human reaction is to make sure all of the little fires around the house are put out before cleaning up the kindling and open flames that caused the problems in the first place. I get it, I really do. If you're being burnt by an open flame right now, it's easier to spray the fire extinguisher at your feet to calm the flames around you. Personally though, I'd rather take three steps into the fire and burn just a little longer if it means that I'm activating the sprinkler system.
I realize nothing in life is a complete cut-and-dry scenario where the solution is one option or the other. When The Clash asked whether or not they should stay or they should go, they missed the obvious option of leaving and coming back later when things have cooled down. If nothing else, that likely would have been the best long-term solution for all involved. That very thing — the best long-term solution for all involved — is what I seek out everything in all I do. I have enough content to publish an ebook right this second, yet I also realize it would be a foolish action for me to do so, as the content is not edited well enough to be consumed as part of a larger publication. I'm in the process of trying to locate an editor, however while doing so I'm doing editing myself, as well as continually writing new content with the belief that there's always the possibility I could write something good enough to be added to that ebook (or even to bump something else out of the book).
Let's say that you've been presented with the house deal I mentioned at the onset of this article. What would your plan of attack be to solve your dilemma and remove the home from its state of disrepair? Why would you act in that way? Sound off in the comments.

Visions Of Johanna (1966)
Bob Dylan
Dylan's Blonde On Blonde is a watershed album, song after smashingly good song heralding a master poet and striving musician at peak form.
(His normally very good basic backing band was now tweaked and rounded out to become one of the greatest music gangs ever assembled.) The raucous "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35," "I Want You," and the misunderstood "Just Like A Woman," appear on Blonde on Blonde.
"Just Like A Woman"
Dylan's Taj Mahal, "Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands," takes up an entire side of the double-disc album, punching in at a zaftig eleven minutes, but seemingly endless with its corridors, rooms, courtyards and central figure.
"Visions Of Johanna"
"Visions Of Johanna" is something else altogether. It is, although a ballad, an out-and-out Rock song.
It carries on its back elements of the Blues, plenty of Folk lines, and something peculiarly American: experimentation that artistically bends and almost breaks the past, seriously hobbling tradition in the process. The past is not so much dismissed as it is neutralized or anesthetized.
Dylan's lyrical work – always spinning along like its own synoptic gospel, telling the same story in the same order with different words – reaches a zenith in "Johanna."
Unbelievably – to tell us how times really have been a-changin' – the full lyric was published as a poem in the June, 1966, edition of Glamour magazine.
What it was doing side by side with fashion, hair and how-to-grab-a-guy's attention articles is anyone's guess, but there it was, naked to the world, stripped of its music, a post-Beat poem by the English-speaking world's greatest poet of the second half of the 20th century.
The opening verse sets the tone and the physical place:
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks
When you're tryin' to be so quiet?
We sit here stranded, though we're all
Doin' our best to deny it
And Louise holds a handful of rain
Temptin' you to defy it
Dylan dishes two types of muses in the song.
One is earthbound, available and sexual. The other is ethereal, capricious and inspirational on a different plane. The latter is the Madonna and/or the Mona Lisa and the Johanna of "Visions Of Johanna."
Much conjecture has gone into the "who" question about these two women. The answers seems to settle down on Joan Baez as the available muse and Sara Lownds Dylan (at right) as the loftier inspirational type. Another theory has it that Dylan's earlier New York girlfriend, Suze Rotolo, is part of the mix. In purely artistic terms, it makes no difference and is only of interest for purposes of gossip.
"Visions Of Johanna" is fraught with images of the drifting, unpredictable muse of the heavens, beginning with one of the most powerful lines in Rock:
The ghost of electricity
Howls in the bones of her face…
And there is this:
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
And Madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
Dylan is dismissive of the earthy muse-goddess, which he seems to depict as one-dimensional, always there to complete the process, diametrically opposed to the drifting, dreaming goddess who demands process and more process – a frightening, but ultimately, liberating experience.
Moreover, as in the last verse (above), the heavenly one cannot be captured – the wait for her return having grown so lengthy that the cage that the narrator has built for her has become corroded and decayed. What was once attainable has now been lost.
Related: Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry"
He is tormented by the ephemeral nature of the muse, one he cannot preserve under glass, although there is a slight hint that the singer knows that by doing so would destroy her value to him:
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain
There are countless sidelights that can be flicked here and there. "The ghosts of electricity" howling in her bones is a clear nod to Howl, Allen Ginsberg's Beat masterpiece.
The all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train is a very clear allusion to T.S. Eliot's women who "come and go, talking of Michelangelo" in The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock. Prufrock is a poem whose narrator rambles into a fractured night scene and questions everything from love to aesthetics, from the conventions of society to the meaning of life and the repercussions of death. If nothing else, Dylan is up on his reading.
His reference to a woman with a mustache is a riff on Marcel Duchamp's famous joke painting in which he paints a mustache on the Mona Lisa. And, of course, the already inscrutable Mona Lisa is made all the more indecipherable by that bit of graffiti.
The song, in the last review, is about inscrutability. About the artistic process. About the people we end up loving. About life itself. In syntax and phrasing "Visions Of Johanna" veers from the concrete to the hard to grasp. Sometimes that which is real becomes unreal, like a smoke ring blowing away, while hazy images suddenly become clear.
Underneath it all, there is an engine of music running that is among the most innovative in all of the Rock genre's history. You can begin with Joe South's glittering bass line, which makes the clearest connection to the mood of the lyrics and Dylan's vocal delivery. South has always been among the more soulful entertainers in Rock-N-Roll and no mean songwriter himself ("The Games People Play" and "Walk A Mile In My Shoes").
Joe South's "Games People Play"
Native Nashvillian, Kenny "Downwind" Buttrey, provides the drumming with a light, mysterious touch. Buttrey was a session drummer in Nashville who also worked with the likes of Neil Young – in the Stray Gators, as well as on albums Harvest and Harvest Moon; with Chuck Berry; George Harrison and Bob Seger, as well as drumming on Dylan's John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline.
Veteran Nashville session man Charlie McCoy, who played with almost everyone who passed through the town from the early 1960s onward, contributed some guitar bits that are mixed far back. Al Kooper brings a layer of late-night, drug-hazed undercurrent via his magic organ.
The musical highlight, though, is what amounts to a coming out party for Robbie Robertson, (right, with Dylan) later of The Band, who bends and chews his guitar notes, peeking in at and probing the lyrics like a midnight raven poking a beak into the open windows of Manhattan's Chelsea Hotel (where it is said much of the first draft of the song was written).
Robertson can scarcely resist breaking the song wide open into a full-fledged Rock-N-Roll song. He conjures up Berry, Doo-Wop, Delta Blues, country picking, and modern Jazz. It is a tour de force, a magnitude 9 on the Richter scale, a mind-blower that gets better on each listen.
Dylan's voice is filled with existential longing mingled with lust and the spiritual leaning toward Sara Lownds, his soon-to-be wife. They were married in November of '65. "Johanna" was recorded the preceding May.
There was some inner strength in Sara that Dylan recognized and fed off. Born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, her mother had a stroke when the future Mrs. Dylan was 9; her father was murdered when she was a high school senior. Sara would become a Playboy Club bunny/waitress when she moved to New York. She later met Dylan through a friend.
By contrast, Dylan often showed sneering contempt for Joan Baez's upper-middle-class background.
The abstract impressionism of "Visions Of Johanna" remains a landmark moment in Rock. In fact, one can almost mark by it the beginning of the emergence of "Rock" from the egg of Rock-N-Roll. The genre was fast becoming complex musically and lyrically.
To name subsequent works that "Johanna" (and the rest of Blonde On Blonde and Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited) has influenced, one would need a book-length study.
Suffice it to say that the Beatles in their most creative years were in thrall to the 1965 revolution that Dylan produced.
Countless artists were liberated by his smashing down of walls between popular music and high art yet somehow remaining married to street hipster attitude. Neil Young, Jim Morrison, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton of Cream, and The Who all had to react to, and eventually benefited from, the seminal '66 of Bob Dylan. Additionally, there is the most fertile period of The Band's playing and singing that came out of Blonde On Blonde.
Everyone was chasing the muses just like Zimmerman said.

- George Martin – the "5th Beatle" and their producer/arranger) on the synergy: "I think Bob Dylan was an influence more on John, than anybody. I'd just been working with Bob and I said, "You know, John admired what you did enormously and you were a tremendous influence on him." He said, "Oh, so people tell me."
- It's no secret that Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan have collaborated many times, at many stages of their careers. One of their most interesting co-creations is "Sign Language," on Clapton's No Reason To Cry album, upon which members of The Band also play.

The Conquest of America: The Question of the Other
University of Oklahoma Press, 1999 - History - 274 pages
A classic in its field, The Conquest of America is a study of cultural confrontation in the New World, with implications far beyond sixteenth-century America. The book offers an original interpretation of both Columbus's discovery of America and the Spaniards' subsequent conquest, colonization, and destruction of pre-Columbian cultures in Mexico and the Caribbean. Using sixteenth-century sources, the distinguished French writer and critic Tzvetan Todorov examines the beliefs and behavior of the Spanish conquistadors and of the Aztecs, adversaries in a clash of cultures that resulted in the near extermination of Mesoamerica's Indian population. A new foreword by Anthony Pagden discusses the implications of Todorov's landmark study.

As computers become an increasingly important part of our everyday life, it is vitally important for people to understand how to keep our computers safe from malware and unauthorized access. This is even more critical now that our computers can store digital cash.
Encrypting your email communication is something that has been a complicated process to setup. Here's a video produced by Justus Ranvier that offers a step-by-step guide on configuring and using Thunderbird for email encryption.
To help out, here are some links to the software discussed by the video above:
Thunderbird Email Client: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
Enigmail Plugin for Thunderbird: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/enigmail/
GPG for Windows: http://gpg4win.org/
GPG for OSX: https://gpgtools.org/
Physical security has always been a vital part of computer security. If a bad guy has unmonitored physical access to your computer, a large number of bad things can be done to your detriment. This become even more critical as we start to store a potentially large financial value on our devices.
Files containing cryptographic keys, Bitcoin wallets, and confidential data can easily be retrieved from hard drives with the proper knowledge – even when accounts and BIOS are protected by a password. The only protection against this, specifically, is if Full disk or container encryption is used to protect those sensitive bits. But if you don't maintain proper physical security, key loggers can be installed to record passwords used to secure those containers, tiny video cameras can be installed above keyboards to record key strokes, and bootloaders can be "enhanced" with Malware to compromise your Operating System.
The first piece of keeping your computer secure is making sure it has the latest versions of your Operating System, patches, and software applications. Letting these things fall behind can open the door to malware thru vulnerabilities.
Don't just take for granted that your Operating System is automatically applying system updates. Verify it for yourself and run the update process yourself from time to time.
If your Operating System does not update individual applications, make it a point to manually check the vendor's website to see if there are any available updates – especially security related updates, which typically will be free of charge.
Honestly, AV software is nearly useless against new/unknown types of attacks, especially targeted attacks. But they can be very useful against well known problems. Even on traditionally Virus-Free Operating Systems, you should consider getting some type of AntiVirus protection for your computers that play a role in helping you manage your finances.
Your computers should have a dedicated, password protected account for each user. Setting this up allows for a higher level of non-repudiation – It is much more easy to identify who is doing what from your computer. It can protect you (and other users) from false accusations and protect confidential information stored in the account profiles.
It is somewhat important to maintain strong passwords for your computers. They should be as random and long as possible. This comic does a great job of explaining what a strong password might look like:

One method that can be used to ease the pain is by using a Yubikey. The Yubikey is a small ThumbDrive" looking device that is really just a USB keyboard. When you press the button, it will input characters to your computer as if you were typing them in yourself.
The simplest way to use this product is by setting it with a static long, random string of characters and add or remove simple, easy to remember characters as a second factor of protection. This is often referred to as 2 factor authentication or "have something, know something". For instance, if "ePhae9yi7uov" is stored on the Yubikey, and your additional component is your dog's name "spookey", your effective password might be "ePhae9yi7uovspookey" – something very hard to break, yet very simple to remember. As long as you maintain smart security* over your Yubikey, you've just enabled yourself to have super easy, strong account protection. There are much stronger methods of using your Yubikey, but the method described is a way for the average user to easily gain a whole lot of password security.
"Smart Security" being – maintain physical possession of your Yubikey at all times and don't use it unwisely (like at untrusted computers or over unsecured protocols such http).
Additionally, the same Yubikey could be used for other passwords by simply using a different "easy to remember" additive password. For instance, your TrueCrypt/encryption password might be "backspace, backspace" and your cat's name "bubbles" which would make your encryption password "ePhae9yi7ububbles".
Several password storage systems exist that can help you manage a large number of unique passwords and their usage history. One of our favorites is from Keepass.info because it is cross-platform (MacOS, Windows, Linux) and you are responsible for the database's security and privacy. We also recommend LastPass, if you would like a reputable 3rd party to manage the database security and privacy. LastPass offers a great solution that can be accessed via your desktop or mobile device and is another well known application that can also be tied to your Yubikey for unlocking the database. However, by using Yubikey/LastPass in this fashion, you're extending your rights to privacy to a 3rd party.
It is our opinion that you should not use Internet Explorer for general browsing on the Internet. There will be cases where you will need to use it to access some non-standards compliant websites, but it is better to be using anything else in the meantime because of the historically high number of security vulnerabilities associated with this browser. It is our recommendation that you use Firefox or Google Chrome for your normal/default browser.
The #1 method of breaching security is through Social Engineering – tricking people into doing something they otherwise know they normally shouldn't do. The human factor is by far the easiest way to break security. One of the biggest reasons for this is because it is very easy for humans to become complacent. To combat this, you must be ever vigilant to analyze everything you do while you're at your computer: Verify links before you click on them, validate senders before you open attachments, and be very prejudiced about the software you allow to be installed on your computer.
When you receive an email or are about to click a link in a browser, always compare the URL shown in the browser's lower status bar with what is displayed by the link. If there is any difference in the domain name, use extreme caution. Typically, the best practice is to copy the link provided and paste it into the address bar yourself and review the contents before you visit the URL. You'll want to be very wary of URLs within URLs, obfuscated domain names, parts of the URL that contain .exe or .com, etc.
SSL is a protocol used to securely send information to another computer (usually through your browser). You can identify it is being used when you see a URL that begins with "https". If a URL begins with "https" then it is going to be using a cryptographically secure connection that may or may not contain sensitive information such as accounts and passwords. It is important to always try to use "https" connections when possible, especially when confidential information may be transferred.
On Wallet Security, we discussed how it is important to keep unique passwords for each resource you access and showed you tools you can use to help manage those passwords. But it can be quite cumbersome when you're dealing with many of those resources on a frequent basis – unlocking the password store, copying a password, pasting it, etc.
Your browser probably has a relatively secure password store already built in that has the added functionality of being able to identify which password you need for a given resource/website. First, and most importantly, make sure you're following our initial advice of maintaining strong password protected accounts for each person using your computer. Then, create random, unique passwords for each site you visit and allow your browser to remember those usernames and passwords for you. When you visit those sites later and need to login, your browser will most likely auto fill in the credentials you need to login and you're on your way.
It is absolutely essential to routinely backup your wallet.dat file. This file holds the cryptographical information that allows you to spend your Bitcoins. If you lose access to this file and it's data, you will lose the ability spend your Bitcoins.
It is important to make your backup frequently due to the way Bitcoin transactions are documented. Over time, new addresses (and cryptographic keys) will be generated as new transactions occur. If you try to restore and old wallet after some type of data loss, you may find that the old wallet does not have the keys necessary to sign off some amount of your Bitcoins. Backup your wallet.dat file often!
The wallet.dat file can be found is your profile/home directory under a folder called ".bitcoin".
Encrypting your wallet can protect your money on systems where you do not maintain physical control. To access your wallet, a password must be entered or the cryptographic keys are simply not available.
There are several ways to do this. Just recently, the official Bitcoin client has integrated the ability to encrypt the wallet, making it necessary to enter a password before any Bitcoins can be spent.
Alternatively, and for the time being, We suggest that you use a more proven encryption technology to protect your wallet such as TrueCrypt or PGP. Once the official client encryption feature has been proven stable and reliable, we may change our recommendation.
TrueCrypt is relatively easy to use and freely available. It has been around many years and has a good security record.
Keeping your Bitcoin Wallet/cryptographic keys off the Internet (safely away from malware and remote theives is the only guaranteed way to make sure your Bitcoins are not stolen or seized. Unfortunately, this also means that you cannot access or spend your Bitcoins. So you will have to determine a policy that is comfortable for you and only keep "online" what you can afford to lose given a particular threat (physical access, malware, value, password strength, etc).
To create an off-line wallet, simply build a new OS on a computer (or boot a "live CD" Operating System) that has no network connectivity, install and run the client, and make note of the Bitcoin addresses generated. Backup the wallet.dat file, encrypt it, and store it safely in several geographically separate locations. Even though this wallet has never "seen" the Internet, you will be able to send Bitcoins to these addresses. Recover/use of the Bitcoins is as simple as copying the wallet.dat file to a network connected Bitcoin client and send away.
During the time that your encrypted wallet is safely stored off-line, your Bitcoins will remain absolutely untouchable by any Government or thief as long as you are using strong encryption. By storing multiple copies of the encrypted wallet across several places, you're ensuring you'll be able to recover the keys if some copies are seized.
Eventually, the official Bitcoin Client will have a key import/export/delete feature integrated into the application but until then, this is the easiest way to protect your Bitcoins. A note of caution: You must take care to securely delete the original wallet.dat file after it has been taken off-line. If someone can forensically recover this file, they will be able to spend/move those Bitcoins at any time outside of your knowledge or control.
It is important to know how Bitcoin scams can be perpetrated so that you can identify them before they happen to you. The bottom line will always be, if something seems too good to be true or makes you uncomfortable at any time, walk away. Remember: Once you spend your Bitcoins – they are gone and you will have little recourse to get them back.
All of the major negative news surrounding Bitcoin have been the result of hacking and misplaced trust in people and/or their security posture. We beam with joy and exuberance knowing that the actual Bitcoin protocol has never been successfully compromised in its entire life!
You need to be cautious when trusting a 3rd party with your Bitcoins – If they are lax in their security, you may lose your Bitcoins and have no recourse to get them back. The old rule applies: Know your dealer – Ask your service providers to publish their general security postures and incident response protocols.
You need to maintain a high level of security with your own systems, computers, and phones as described in the Computer Security section. If you manage to get infected with malware that is Bitcoin aware, you stand a good chance to lose all your Bitcoins with no recourse to recover them.
You need to express extreme due diligence to identify the people you are dealing with when it comes to Bitcoin. It is too easy to pretend to be someone else on the Internet. When in doubt, use alternate established methods of communication (such as telephones, webcams, etc) to verify intent and status. This also helps in establishing forensic trails that may help Law Enforcement identify someone who has defrauded you.
One other technique you can use to verify a person's authenticity is through PGP. This is a method of using cryptography and digital signatures to guarantee a high level of certainty that you are dealing with a particular individual and verify the integrity of message sent between you. It is beyond the scope of this site to teach you about PGP, but it is HIGHLY recommended you seek more information and attempt to learn just the fundamentals of how it works and how it can protect you in these kinds of circumstances. You will be able to find some informative resources on PGP in the Resource page.
It is important to verify a Bitcoin address before sending any Bitcoins to it. When a Bitcoin address is viewed over an insecure protocol such as email or http, it can be altered to the attacker's Bitcoin address – effectively stealing the Bitcoins in transit. To counter this, you should try to retrieve a Bitcoin address over a secure connection like https. Alternatively, you could use the previously discussed PGP technology to verify a message's (Bitcoin address) integrity if it was prepared appropriately.
One of the first scams surrounding Bitcoin involved Chargebacks. This is when a credit card processor would reverse a charge based on a report of fraud or similar cause. As an example, Eve would purchase Bitcoins from Bob via Paypal. Bob would receive the money from Paypal and send the requested amount of Bitcoins to Eve. Eve would then call Paypal and claim fraud or non-delievery and Paypal would reverse Bob's transaction and remove the money from his account. Bob was now out the Bitcoins and the money. Do not ever sell Bitcoins to anyone with anything other than cash in a face-to-face encounter.

Union Gospel Mission picked homeless people all over the city and took them to Reverchon Park for a day of free food and fun.
"Obviously being homeless is a stressful situation so what we're wanting to do is help them turn their homelessness and just enjoy one another and obviously to enjoy us and fellowship in a way that we don't get to do very often," said William Thompson with the Union Gospel Mission.
The public was also welcome to take part in what marked two decades of the philanthropic event.
The park party featured: running races, football, volleyball, basketball, soccer kicking, crafts, games, crafts, clowns and stories for the kids.
Union Gospel Mission serves hundreds of homeless in the Dallas area on a daily basis. Games Day gave the homeless an opportunity to have a fun, relaxing day in the park.
The outdoor party also gave Mission leaders an opportunity to let their guests know about the services offered to help end the cycle of homelessness.

Hear from one of our youth!
I first went to a Climb and Conquer event when I was in seventh grade. It was a free climbing event held for Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland. I had been to a different free climbing event before, but at that one I hadn't been engaged and had been a little bit bored. Now, there were experienced climbers who were engaging with me. They noticed that I had a degree of skill, and told me to challenge myself with harder climbs. They were friendly, enthusiastic, kind, encouraging, and supportive. They gave me tips on technique, the details and elegance of which made rock climbing seem fascinating. I was already excited about it. To my surprise, they told me that I should take lessons, and I agreed. They even said that they would pay, and otherwise I don't think it would have been a possibility.
So, I took weekly lessons, and it was great. I loved the mental challenge, and the physical exertion.
It's been years since I've rock climbed regularly, but I still remember. Looking up at impossible climbs. When I willed myself to trust my ability. Moments when my body felt at extraordinary ease. Moments when instructors were annoyed because I thought a move was impossible, and they didn't, and how it turned out that they were right. The first time I had to put my foot above my head to finish a climb, which seemed bizarre. How routes went from being so impossible that only somebody amazing like Joe could climb it, to laughably easy. Particularly fun were Climb and Conquer events. I met cool people, who were kind, passionate, and incredible at rock climbing. I would balk at climbs, and Joe would tell me I could make it, and then I did.
This was all a nice relief from school, where I was having a really unpleasant year. I had a very hard teacher, my grades and popularity had dropped sharply, and distances had popped up between my closest friends and I. I didn't even know what to think about this, and my self esteem was sort of a mess. But one night every week, I went to climb, and I was good at it, and none of that school nonsense existed.
At one point I realized that I was taking part in an organized sport. I had predicted this would never happen. Even though I love running and competition and even the feeling of aching muscles, I'm infamously bad at most sports, like volleyball. I have no coordination.
I have a ten year old sister, and I teach her to climb on the climbing walls on playgrounds, by telling her that she has to get up while only using select holds. It's pretty cool watching her learn.
So I want to say thank you to everybody involved in this organization, both for being a lot of fun to be around, and for introducing me to a sport that challenged my creativity, technique, perseverance, and fears in ways I never could have imagined.
