In 1968 Fairchild company of US developed the first silicon plainner transistor with photo etching and diffusion technique. Mass production became easy as they can put as many models as they could on the master photo films. Base on photo etching more complicated integrated circuit was made in 1970's, (TTL CMOS etc) and then LSI (large scale integrated-circuit) and micro processors (CPU).
Zilog introduced 8 bit Z80 CPU in 1977 with software CP/M and became popular soon, but left behind in about 1984 due to 16 bit 8086 CPU by Intel, 8086 soon became IBM personal computer standard and shared almost 95% world wide market, Apple only shared 5%.
Z80 found another position of machine control application and shared certain market so that it existed until to-day, but hundreds of other not famous brand CPUs extinguished. I bought a uP MPF-1 single board computer with Z80 processor in 1981 for a project of stepping motor control to drive a astronomy telescope.
To deal with Z80 machine language in MPF-1 is not easy, manual translate to machine code is bore and debug is impossible almost. I understood assembler is a must for the project so I bought a NEC PC-8001 and assembler software, it can handle the key in source code to create object machine code. In early 1980's this is luxury for amateur purpose. I start to develope control program and burnt the EPROM (eracable/programmable ROM) and run on MPF-1.
Soon I found the debug and switching/erasing the EPROM between two machines was time consuming and EEPROM (electrical erase ROM) was not yet avaliable in early 1980's. I built a ROM simulator, which is a static RAM connected to electronic switches so that it can be switched between two Z80 machines, the master (PC-8001) can write data on it and then hand over to slave (MPF-1) for read only purpose, so I can use assembler to creat/ debug and re-write the machine code to RAM from master and then run and test on slave without physically changing the ROM. The simulator can also work for any Z80/8085 machines which use 2716 or 2732 EPROMs, just connect the simulator plug to the 2716/2732 socket and then as if there is an EPROM.
For demonstration purpose, I copy the MPF-1 system monitor program to the simulator and then connected it to MPF-1, now it can start up without the ROM but the simulator instead.
As the simulator porgam can modify so that MPF-1 single board machine easily becomes a Z80 CPU, PIO, CTC and 8255 chips tester.

It is no fun to have bugs. Pests have the ability to ruin food, spread germs and basically cause worry. Make sure you do all you can to get rid of these pests by using the tips that are laid out below in this article.
Be sure to check with local authorities before you use pesticides in your home to ensure that they are within code. At times, a chemical that is locally banned can cause you trouble when you want to sell your house. While this is pretty rare in occurrence, it does give you motivation to research what pest control methods are approved and successful in your community.
If you suffer from an infestation of brown recluse spiders, try using sticky traps in order to catch them. These spiders are poisonous; therefore, you need to eliminate them as soon as possible. Unfortunately, they often hide in small areas where chemicals are not as effective. They do come out at night to search for food. Place traps along walls and behind furniture for the best chance of nabbing them.
Make sure that your screens are fully functional at all times. Not only do they keep out the flying pests, but they help to keep out small crawling insects as well. If you have any holes in your screens, fix them so the bugs cannot get in.
Fleas can be hard to eliminate, but there are various ways to eliminate them and their eggs. The first thing you have to do is use a vacuum every day and then you spray a good flea spray. Always discard the vacuum bag after use.
Mint helps you battle against a mice problem. A group of plants situated along your home's foundation will repel them. This makes your home less than desirable to mice. If mice is living in your home, you can sprinkle mint leaves all around the area where you see signs of mice. This will get rid of the mice if you use fresh leaves.
Many people having difficulties can start solving their problems by taking one little piece of advice. Consult the professionals at your local home improvement outlet for advice to rid yourself of these pests. These people are experienced and will be able to recommend a pesticide that is appropriate for your specific infestation.
You may find electronic pest repellents to be super effective. These devices are small and can be plugged into outlets in each room. The device then emits a sound that keeps rodents at bay. While humans cannot hear the sounds, they are perfectly safe. Rodents will leave the area of the noise, since they do not like it.
Find out what types of bugs and rodents are common in your area. Find out what these pests like and what they don't. A plan designed for your specific pest program is the best approach.
Have you discovered a mouse hole? Try cutting up small steel wood pieces and putting them into this hole. They will die after trying to eat into the steel wool. Use spackle to plug the rodent holes.
Exterior lights can be prime sources of pests. Don't put exterior lighting right next to the entrance of your house. In addition, it is possible to decrease the odds that these pests will come in by using orange or yellow lights. This is because bugs aren't attracted to these colors as much as other ones.
Because you are now knowledgeable on how to eliminate pests, you need to put these tips to good use. Pests are not fun to have so it's important to remove them as soon as possible. By using the tips provided, you should be able to rid your home of pests in no time.

Made by the team who brought us An Inconvenient Truth and He Named Me Malala, the film follows the different narratives of the children themselves, and depicts the story of how Noble Peace Prize winner, Kailash Satyarthi, went from being a young activist, angry at the injustice of child labour, to leading a team that has rescued over 86,000 children from forced labour & slavery in India. Kailash has challenged the marginalisation of children for over three decades.

Los Angeles Times Review:
"If Paul Greengrass hasn't thought about crafting a white-knuckle thriller about crusading Nobel Peace laureate Kailash Satyarthi, the opening of Derek Doneen's documentary "The Price of Free" — a tense raid on a New Delhi factory keeping children as work slaves — should alert social-issue directors and moviegoers everywhere how urgent and dangerous Satyarthi's mission can be.
But also how rewarding and cathartic it is, even if the pained looks on freed children suggest lives that have known mostly need, abuse, servitude and fear. After the successful raid, in the safety of an ashram affiliated with his rescue efforts, the bespectacled, salt-and-pepper-bearded Satyarthi zeroes in on one terrified freed boy, Karim, and gets him to smile. It feels like light overwhelming darkness.
You quickly sense the optimism that fuels Satyarthi's risk-taking and that sends him around the world to speak for children.
Probably the Earth's foremost advocate against forced child labor, Satyarthi has been at this for nearly 40 years, frequently putting his life on the line — whether from death threats, mob violence or hunger strikes — to combat what he sees as our globalized economy's most wretched consequence: poor children stripped of their rights to, as he lists it, "bread, play, education and love."
The numbers we hear speak to the odds he's up against: More than $100 billion in profits annually from human trafficking. But just as staggering is what Satyarthi's movement has done, freeing more than 85,000 children, reforming India's carpet-making industry and effecting a groundbreaking U.N. resolution on the rights of children, one of the most ratified of world treaties..."

Washington Was Behind Ukraine Coup: Obama admits that US "Brokered a Deal" in Support of "Regime Change"
US Sticks to Tried and True Policy of Supporting Coups
Region: USA
Theme: US NATO War Agenda
US President Barack Obama revealed the United States' involvement in the Ukrainian crisis from its outset and admitted that the United States "had brokered a deal to transition power in Ukraine."
US President Barack Obama's recent interview with CNN's Fareed Zakiria reveals the United States' involvement in the Ukrainian crisis from its outset and that the country worked directly with Ukrainian right-wing fascist groups, experts told Sputnik.
On Sunday, in his interview with CNN, Obama admitted that the United States "had brokered a deal to transition power in Ukraine."
"Obama's statement is reiterating something that the world public opinion already knew — the US was involved in the coup of [ex-Ukrainian President] Viktor Yanukovych from the start. History shows us that the US has overthrown numerous governments in Latin America, Asia and Africa and replaced them with leaders that ruled with a fascist ideology that proved useful for Washington's geopolitical interests," independent researcher and writer Timothy Alexander Guzman told Sputnik.
Yanukovych's decision to not sign an association agreement with the European Union in late 2013 triggered a mass wave of protests across Ukraine, culminating in the February 2014 coup. Following the transition of power, Kiev forces launched military operation against those who refused to recognize the legitimacy of the new government.

Guzman claimed that during the Ukrainian conflict, Washington and its NATO allies worked directly with right-wing Ukrainian Fascist groups, including the neo-Nazi inspired Right Sector militia.International law professor at the University of Illinois College of Law Francis Boyle shares a similar opinion, also arguing also that Obama's approach to Ukraine is no different to the neoconservative approach of former US national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, or political scientist Samuel Huntington's "clash of civilizations" philosophy.
"I think he [Obama] has made it very clear that he is going to continue to take a Brzezinski hard-lined approach toward Ukraine and Russia and that there are not going to be any compromises at all, and effectively he expects President Putin to throw in a towel, capitulate, whatever, it does not appear to me there is any ground for negotiations in light of what President Obama at least said publicly," he said in an email to Sputnik.

Boyle also stated that the United States may already be sending covert offensive military equipment to Ukraine, despite Washington's claims that it provides Kiev only with non-lethal aid.The expert also claimed that Obama's ignorance of the Minsk agreements and of Russian President Vladimir Putin's proposals to negotiate the conflict peacefully, indicates that Washington is going to continue with its aggressive policy in Ukraine.
"How can Russia tolerate this gang of Nazis in Kyiv [Kiev] setting up shop right there on the borders of Russia, and being armed, equipped and supplied by NATO? Of course, Russia cannot tolerate that," Boyle concluded, adding that the Unites States itself would not tolerate such threats close to its borders.

Obama & Merkel to Discuss Arming Ukraine in Washington Next Week
"The very fact that Obama feels he needs to comment on [the] US direct role in the regime change [in Ukraine] and on Putin's response over Crimea in this manner, rather than calling Putin a Hitler with well thought out expansionist designs, as has become the norm in the US, speaks for itself: perhaps, the White House is finally coming to the view that it needs to come to its senses and negotiate with Moscow," Vlad Sobell, a professor at New York University's Prague campus stated.
On Sunday, US President Barack Obama, in an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakiria, explained that the United States "brokered a deal to transition power in Ukraine." The US President said that Russian President Vladimir Putin made his decision to legally annex Crimea "not because of some grand strategy, but essentially because he was caught off-balance by the protests in the Maidan."
In late 2013 a decision by Ukraine then-President Viktor Yanukovych to avoid signing an association agreement with the European Union triggered mass protests across Ukraine, dubbed Maidan, culminating in the February coup. Following the coup and a rise in aggressive nationalism in the country, Crimea seceded by referendum from Ukraine and rejoined Russia in March 2014.

Former US Officials Urge Washington to Send Lethal Military Aid to Ukraine
Pepe Escobar, a correspondent for Asia Times, Hong Kong, who has closely followed developments in Ukraine, told Sputnik of his belief that every independent observer, including himself, "had known from the beginning those $5 billion, [US Assistant Secretary of State] Victoria Nuland's number, over the years unleashed to boost 'freedom' in Ukraine one day would come to fruition.""And Putin was not 'caught off-balance'," Escobar added. "Russian intelligence knew in a few hours that Maidan would be replicated in Crimea, so the Kremlin acted swiftly," he stated.
Professor Sobell claims that "Mr President [Obama] should be aware that Yanukovych fled [Ukraine] because he had solid reasons to fear for his life. The hallowed Maidan was not a peaceful democratic regime change, as it was presented in Western media, but a violent putch complete with murderous acts by hired assassins."
Sobell states that unnamed EU officials affirm that on February 20 snipers shot both demonstrators and police dead, in order to provoke chaos. These crimes, he continued, are not being investigated by Kiev's "democratic — Western values" regime or its Western sponsors, as "today it is ok to install a Nazi-driven regime by these means and then demand that Western tax- payers support it."
According to Escobar, the way the Ukrainian coup will be perceived "all across the Global South is […] another US regime change operation, using local patsies."
Commenting on the recent increase in hostilities between Kiev and independence supporters in the southeast of Ukraine, Sobell said the situation has changed in favor of the Donbas militia.
"Washington knows it and knows that they must either compromise, start genuine negotiations with Moscow and separatists, or escalate support for the Nazi regime by supplying it with arms. This would lead to major escalation of the conflict – at this point we cannot rule out that Obama will opt of this," Sobell insisted.
Russia's relations with the West deteriorated sharply in 2014, following Crimea's reunification with Russia and the start of the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine. The United States and its allies accused Moscow of interfering in Ukraine's internal affairs and imposed several rounds of economic sanctions, targeting Russia's energy, banking and military sectors, as well as several high-ranking individuals.

Het koninkrijk Kartlië  (Georgisch: ქართლის სამეფო, kartlis samepo) was een laat-middeleeuws tot vroegmoderne monarchie in Oost-Georgië, gecentreerd in de regio Kartli, met als hoofdstad Tbilisi. Het ontstond na een driedeling van het koninkrijk Georgië in 1478 en bestond, met verschillende korte intervallen, tot 1762 toen Kartlië en het naburige Georgische koninkrijk Kachetië werden samengevoegd door dynastieke opvolging onder de Kachetische tak van de Bagrationi-dynastie. Gedurende een groot deel van deze periode was het koninkrijk een vazal van de opeenvolgende dynastieën van Perzië, en voor een veel kortere periode het Ottomaanse Rijk, maar genoot ook periodes van grotere onafhankelijkheid, vooral na 1747.

Geschiedenis

Uiteenvallen van het koninkrijk Georgië
Na ca. 1450 ontstonden in het koninkrijk Georgië rivaliserende facties binnen het koninklijke huis en de adel. Deze veroorzaakten een hoge mate van instabiliteit over het hele grondgebied. De periode werd gekenmerkt door feodale concurrentie, separatisme en burgeroorlog.

Een grote desintegratie van het Georgische koninkrijk ontstond in 1463 na de nederlaag van George VIII in de Slag bij Tsjichori door de opstandige edelman Bagrat. Deze verklaarde zichzelf koning van Imeretië. Dit leidde tot de grootschalige desintegratie van de Georgische monarchie.

In de nasleep van zijn nederlaag van 1465 werd George VIII gevangen genomen door Kvarkvare II Dzjakeli, vorst van Samtsche (Mescheti). Bagrat VI zag zijn kans en trok naar Oost-Georgië (Kartlië) en verkondigde zichzelf koning van heel Georgië in in 1466.

Kvarkvare, uit angst dat Bagrat te veel aan macht won, liet George VIII vrij uit gevangenschap. De afgezette koning kon zijn voormalige kroon echter niet terugvorderen, en slaagde er alleen in om zichzelf tot koning van Kachetië te verkondigen. Dit liet Kvemo Kartli aan zijn neef, Constantijn, een andere troonpretendent. Constantijn vestigde zich als de facto heerser over een deel van Kartlië in 1469, waarmee hij de hegemonie van Bagrat uitdaagde.

Bagrat VI bleef Kartlië regeren tot 1478, toen hij opnieuw werd uitgedaagd door Constantijn.

Ontwikkelingen in West-Georgië
De zoon van Bagrat VI Alexander trok zich terug in de bergachtige westelijke provincies van Ratsja en Letsjchoemi, van waaruit hij probeerde de troon van Imereti te veroveren. Hij riep de lokale hertogen op om zijn kroning bij te wonen, maar geleid door Vamek II Dadiani weigerden dezen hem te steunen en nodigden in plaats daarvan Constantijn uit naar West-Georgië. Met de hulp van de hertogen nam Constantine Koetaisi in en herstelde kort de integriteit van Kartlië met West-Georgië. In 1481 slaagde Constantijn erin Samtsche te onderwerpen en riep zichzelf uit tot koning van heel Georgië.

In 1483 verklaarde Kvarkvare II de oorlog aan Constantijn en versloeg diens strijdkrachten bij Ardeti. In 1484 riep de voormalige erfgenaam, Alexander, zich uit tot koning van Imeretië. Ondertussen nodigde de nieuwe heer van Odisji, Liparit II Dadiani, Constantine II voor de tweede keer uit naar West-Georgië. In 1487 ging Constantine naar Imeretië, maar moest de campagne opgeven toen een Turkmeens stamhoofd, Yaqub b. Uzun Hasan, Kartlië binnenviel. Alexander profiteerde hiervan, veroverde Koetaisi en herstelde zijn autoriteit in Imeretië. Hierop verzoende de koning van Kartlië zich tijdelijk met de koningen van Kachetië en Imeretië en de vorst van Samtsche, waardoor de verdeling van Georgië in kleine koninkrijken en vorstendommen werd bevestigd.

Latere ontwikkelingen
Deze nieuwe rijken waren niet lang in vrede. Kort nadat hij aan de macht was gekomen lanceerde George II van Kachetië een expeditie tegen Kartlië, met het plan koning David X af te zetten en zijn koninkrijk te veroveren. Davids broer Bagrat verdedigde met succes het koninkrijk en slaagde erin George II in een hinderlaag gevangen te nemen.

De vrede duurde niet lang, omdat David X geconfronteerd werd met invallen van Alexander II van Imeretië, die iets minder succesvol was dan zijn Kachetische tegenhanger.

In 1513 bereikte het koninkrijk Kartlië een korte verovering van het naburige Kachetië. In 1520 werd het koninkrijk Kachetië hersteld met de steun van lokale edelen onder Levan van Kachetië, zoon en erfgenaam van George II. In 1522/24 viel de Safawidische sjah Ismail Kartlië binnen en bezette Tbilisi om de opstand van David X te onderdrukken.

De Vrede van Amasya (1555) erkende Kartlië, Kachetië en Oost-Samtsche als Perzische bezittingen, terwijl alles ten westen daarvan (d.w.z. Imeretië, West-Samtsche) in Ottomaanse handen viel.

17e eeuw: Georgische koninkrijkjes onder Persische en Ottomaanse vazalage
In 1632 werd Rostom, de onwettige zoon van David XI, benoemd als koning (wali) van Kartlië. Rostom, die zich tot de islam had bekeerd en eerder de naam Khosrow Mirza had aangenomen, bracht de Perzische taal en cultuur in de Kartlische administratie en het dagelijks leven. Tijdens zijn bewind kende Kartlië een groei van welvaart en handel. Onder Rostom had Kartlië een beleid van religieuze tolerantie, waaronder gesubsidieerde reparaties aan kerken en kloosters, en het bouwen van nieuwe moskeeën. Rostom stierf op 17 november 1658 en werd begraven in Qom.

In 1747 werd de sjah van Perzië, Nadir Sjah Afshar vermoord. Gebruik makend van de instabiliteit verklaarden Teimoeraz II en zijn zoon Heraclius II, die van Nader Shah respectievelijk het koningschap van Kartlië en Kachetië hadden gekregen, hun de facto onafhankelijkheid van Perzië.

Na de dood van Teimoeraz in 1762 nam Heraclius de controle over Kartlië over, waardoor de twee zich verenigen in het kortstondige koninkrijk Kartli-Kachetië.

Einde van de Georgische semi-onafhankelijkheid en integratie in het Russische Rijk
Na het Verdrag van Georgiejevsk (1783) en Agha Mohammad Chan Kadjar's korte herbezetting van Oost-Georgië, werd het koninkrijk van Kartli-Kachetië in 1801 geannexeerd door het Russische rijk. De voormalige strijdende koninklijke huizen werden grotendeels opgenomen in de Russische adel.

De Russische controle over Kartli-Kachetië werd afgerond met Kadjaars-Iran door het Verdrag van Gulistan van 1813.

Discussion in 'FedEx Discussions' started by wkmac, Oct 20, 2005.
I'll bet part of it is the fact he can't skirt the European labor unions like he is able to in the US. JMO.
In fact fred should boycott those unions and stay out of Europe completely.
Fred should fold-up. He's obviously a beaten man.
there has been nothing recently about fedex and international news. all Ive been hearing is ups and dhl, TNT, and exel..etc, etc. whats wrong, has fred maxed out the corporate credit card. just wait until fedex ground become real employees, that should put the final nail in the coffin.
Is it true that DHL is about to buy FedEx?
Just like UPS is gonna buy Microsoft! Believe it or not I saw that rumor get played on the stock sites around the time UPS went public. FedEx has made some international news of late about Asian expanding of operations. Don't discount FredEx at all.
Listen everyone! Try working for over 15 years at a job with no insurance and not benefits for your family. It's not always greener on the other side. GET A GRIP and enjoy working for a company who puts food on your table. Try driving trucks in 90 degree Florida weather with no a/c like ups drivers. The ups drivers are so used to it - they look so overworked and worn out. Be thankful for what you have and stop complaining. The economy is so bad right now, people are loosing their homes and your complaining - get a life.
90 degree heat is a good day. Try 100 degrees with 100% humidity. That's the killer.
Quit defending Smith. He's as slick as diesel fuel on a wet road and makes Bill Clinton look like Honest Abe in terms of credibility. He's got a pocketful of politicians bought and paid for out of your pocket. Too bad you're too damn dumb to figure it out. I guess you like getting it in the rear from Uncle Fred. I don't.
wow, mrfedex, good to see you standing up to fred and posting on this website that I'm sure he knows nothing about. that takes a real strong constitution. tired of taking it in the rear, but not tired of the money. by the way, have you ever offered to hire one of those poor ground guys away to save them from that horrible hell?
Maybe Fred doesn't know about this site, but I can assure you that his minions do, and if it had the same level of participation as the UPS side, he would definitely know about it. Since you obviously know nothing about the Express side, let me educate you.
"Standing-up" to FedEx publicly gets you fired, plain and simple. If there were a union it would be different, but there isn't, so being underground is the only way...for now. Any sort of disagreement with the company line places a target directly on your back, and management will actively work on harassing you right out the door. I've had lots of friends who "stood up" suddenly start getting drug-tested monthly on supposedly "random" tests. Others were followed on the road by managers looking for any little technicality that could lead to a letter in the employee's file. Some have been intentionally provoked by management by having their routes suddenly expanded or changed. And those would actively stood-up during the abortive Teamster drive back in 1996 are mostly long gone...chased right out the door or successfuly set-up to be fired. And if they want you gone, it will be arranged.
after reading my previous post, i don;t know that i commented on express which i have admitted in the past that i don't know anything about. and i smith "drops" us, maybe i'll come and work at express...maybe take a disgruntled management personel's position. i don't really know what i'd do but i've had to start over before, i could probably do it again perhaps in the future you can refrain from commenting on the ground side since you obviously know nothing about it.
Weak comeback. Fred would sell you out in a heartbeat.
just out or curiosity, have you ever considered that express might be the side that gets sold out? why, if fred succeeds against the lawsuits and the contractor model is upheld, would there not be a push to use contractors in express? maybe you've already begun to see that push if ground is already starting to pull freight trailers. and if i am sold out, then i am happy that my business is incorporated and let the corporation take the hit and not me and my family. see, there is smart business and there is dumb business. and weak is not starting over, it is hating where you are but too frightened to start over. that's more than weak, that's pathetic.
You're so sad with that statement. Fred is not a beaten man! He's done so much with the company from the start (for example - feed you). If only you can do the same. You need to get to realty of things. Would you rather be flipping burgers for a living?
Sorry bbsam, but Ground is not set-up to handle the Express side of the business, so it's highly doubtful your scenario would happen. Smith will bleed-off as much Express volume as he can to Ground, but the whole operation would be very problematic. The air side is very different. What's more likely is a conversion of existing Ground contractors to employees when Smith loses all of those lawsuits. You, and your sub-contracted drivers will be offered some crappy buyout for your routes and vehicles and then given employee status if you so choose. You'll get the same crummy benefit package the rest of the FedEx companies receive, and the same low wages.
Fred will eventually lose, so you might do well to consider your options. As far as doing something else, I've already got the ball rolling. There really aren't very many reasons to stay with FedEx any more.
By the way bbsam, you wouldn't be able to get hired on the Express side given your past history of substance abuse, nor would many of the other folks who work for Ground. No arrests, no felonies, nothing drug or alcohol-related is ever forgiven or overlooked.The standards to work for Ground are way lower than on the Express side, probably due to the higher value of the pkgs, and the many drug shipments. I routinely deliver methadone to clinics, as do many other Express couriers. As a current employee, I could be fired for just being arrested, no matter what the charge, at the discretion of FedEx.
I'm very sad to read all your posts and sorry for these words, but I must say this - you are all a bunch of loosers. You should all be very thankful you have a job in this economy. There are hard working people out there who have lost their jobs and can't find work. After reading your posts you sound like your a bunch of greedy employees. Can't you all say thanks to Fred for even paying you. So, please get a grip on life...you have no idea what it's like outside FedEx. Of course, if your so unhappy at FedEx - GET OUT!
No, the sheep stay at FedEx. I'm already planning my exit, and if your IQ were a bit higher, you'd be doing the same.

The centrepiece of the organization is the descriptive vocabulary, often referred to as "the FOSI questionnaire." Content providers check which of the elements in the questionnaire are present or absent from their websites. This then generates a small file containing the labels that is then linked to the content on one or more domains.
Users, especially parents of young children, can then use filtering software to allow or disallow access to web sites based on the information declared in the label. A key point is that the Internet Content Rating Association does not rate internet content - the content providers do that, using the FOSI labelling system. FOSI makes no value judgement about sites.
Upon the recent decision of FOSI's Board of Directors, the ICRA labeling engine has been discontinued. While all current labels will continue to work with Internet content filters, the ICRA label generator, ICRA tools and Webmaster support will no longer be available. If you are writing with questions about difficulties with Content Advisor, please refer to Microsoft support, as Content Advisor is part of their Internet Explorer software.
System Updates and Browser Updates
To ensure you browse the Internet the way it is meant to be seen, please make sure you have all the latest updates and patches for your particular operating system, as well as the latest version of your preferred browser.
Software manufacturers/developers can update their software several times per year, and often the updates include very important security fixes, or patches.
Without these patches your computer can be vulnerable to attack by things like viruses, trojans, and other nasties.

Interview with Pablito Zago | graffiti art & graphic design 01/07/2013
Q: How long are you into graffiti? What made you to become a graffiti artist?
A: I've been into Graffiti and street art for like a decade now. Back in the days I was art director for a Urban and Electronic Music
cultures festival, and we invited some artists like Brusk(DMV), Jaw (DMV), QDB, ...That kinda rang my bell and that is how it started. This said, I was already working as a graphic designer and illustrator, and doing exhibitions as an artist, but I wanted to go for bigger formats, and the spectrum of colors with sprays attracted me a lot. But then, it was mostly the energy that goes with this culture that pulled me in.
Q: Many interesting characters, many colorful 3D compositions, perhaps even more than great stories behind all those creations. How would you describe your style?
A: Describing myself is rather difficult for me, especially when you consider your job as always evolving. Thou I would say I was inspired by children illustrations a lot, something very naive. Then I like to play with this kiddy style and add something more to it , something more personal, more...for the big neurotic kids! I do things in an instinctive way. Also, I was fascinated by all kinds of masks from all over the world. I travel a lot, so this is also a big source of inspiration for me of course.
Q: How much does the character design help you to express your own personal stories? Why did you choose the character design as your main creative line?
A: I always was a big comics fan. As a kid I dreamt myself as a comic drawer. I think that is where it came from. It is true it's a big part of my work indeed, but I didn't make a plan and I don't prevent myself to explore new tracks, more abstract ones for example.
Q: Talking about the characters... I can see a lot of big xeroxes and amazing drawings with so many details. Really impressive. Please feel free to share with us some of the basic ideas that have been used for those creations. And a little about the making process.
A: On my last ink characters, I pile a lot of elements, it s something I would describe as the representation of my characters' complexity and their different aspects. I see it as drawers of our imagination. It is something that works better on paper, with ink, I can work more on details.
I work in an instinctive way. I see this as free jazz or « cadavres exquis » from the surrealists (you know when one starts a poem with a verse, and the next one goes on with a second verse, without reading the first one), I let myself go, I pile emotions, neurosis, play with clichés.
Q: Do you find this type of work as useful when it comes the big projects? Or you prefer graffiti spray in most of your creations?
A: Yes I thing it s useful to draw on paper before you go paint walls, that's my technique. But I won't say I prefer pencils to sprays, what I like above all is creation, under all forms, then be it on a page of paper or a wall, I don't mind... each thing is different. My work as an illustrator on paper or canvas is a solo work, something more introspective... Painting walls is something I like to do with my friends, when you're a bunch of mates in front of a wall: it's something funnier, more instinctive.
Q: Is there any message in your designs?
A: A message, I don't know. I'd rather talk about poetry. What I like is when the one looking at the piece tells himself his one story, I like the idea that a piece of art can wake a memory, a sensation, but generally speaking, I don't like to impose an idea, I like the idea that the viewer can make the message his own.
Q: Some of your amazing works are collaboration with your friends. How does the team work helps you to get inspired and maybe get your adrenaline to the next level?
A: I love collaborations, it forces you to think pieces in a different way. Trying to find a balance between people and their mediums is very challenging. Most often, all the collabs I do are with people whose work I appreciate but mostly because something human happens, a dialogue. I often paint with Goddog, I do a lot of collages with Cleps, Alias Ipin... the few paintings with QDB were always cool too.
Q: It's probably not possible to choose but do you have an ideal painting experience?
A: My best experiences, it s with collages in the street, without hiding myself, in day light. People don't feel attacked like with sprays , so they talk to you more easily. It s a deadly stuff when you can discuss your work with people that don't usually go to museums and whose culture s got nothing to do with yours.
Q: Any other artists you would like to work with?
A: There are so many... I always feel hard to name all the artists I love and that I'd like to work with. It's more important to me to
actually meet people and then see. I like the idea of doing things with people whose works are very far away form mine, so we can confront our styles.
Q: Nowadays, there are a lot of art mediums that help people to express their creativity. How much the street art can make a social impact?
A: Street art, post street art, graffiti... anything, I don't give a shit, it s just ART. For me, art helped a lot, it allowed me to escape
from a reality. I think it s a good way to get out the machine for a moment, make you imagination work... to me it s simply vital.
Q: Let's say a few words about the book designs. To me, they look like tourist's notes, something that is very unique and personal. Really amazing. What were the basic ideas?
A: With my travel books (India, Laos, Peru) the idea was simple: to be able to talk about my travels to my friends without annoying them with shitty pictures. It allows me to talk about my trips in an original way. I stick to telling simple things with a simple drawing I usually do a page a day, and I never do the same drawing twice, it s live and direct... it's also a good moment during my trip... Back in France I can't go on with it, I need to be there, physically and mentally. That's why they're all done during the trips. Once there that allows me to meet people. I now hope I will find publishers interested in them.
Q: Do you still enjoy painting as much now, or do you feel jaded at all, do you still have the enthusiasm?
A: Still and always and even always more! That's my drug! I'll never quit drawing, think about these stuff, do things in the streets,
graffiti, collage, getting ready for exhibits, even graphism, to me all this is only happiness, I feel very lucky.
Q: Are there any particular goals you'd like to achieve in your career?
A: My goal hasn't changed in years; enjoy myself, and I do enjoy myself. I'm lucky enough today to live from art, this is cool! Then my ultimate goal is to buy USA!
A: Work and stick to this... and enjoy yourself.
Please feel free to share your feature plans and your website.
I work on a series of web documentaries about street art with friends: Wall Trip. We released our first three episodes on the web
(www.walltrip.com). It s a project we love, we make documentaries about other street-artists we like. We'd like to find some network to broadcast them and go around the world of Street with this films.
I also work a lot in music as a grafic designer and as a DJ wth our label château Bruyant, a French EDM label.. to follow closely

Govt will Give Rs 10 Talktime to every BSNL User
BSNL has now removed the need for mandatory recharge from its prepaid users until at least April 20. It has taken this step in order for the Central government to help out millions of individuals, particularly those belonging to a
financially lower stratum of the society.
The move aims to particularly help out members of the working class community of India who primarily earn on a daily wage basis. Due to this pandemic the economy has crumbled, leading these daily-wage earners without income avenues for the foreseeable future.
Incentive of Rs 10 to be rolled out by BSNL
Not just did BSNL waiver off the mandatory recharges until at least April 20, as per Prasad, an incentive of Rs 10 will also be rolled out automatically to users of BSNL prepaid connections, so as to aid them in making outgoing calls.
The state-run BSNL's prepaid connection is actively used by millions of users across India, especially among the low data usage segment of Indian consumers.
With BSNL's aid being brought forth by the government in these times of crisis, it remains to be seen if private players such as Vodafone-Idea and Bharti Airtel also attempt to adopt similar steps.
Since the advent of Reliance Jio, those who have moved on to using smartphones from feature phones have migrated to the latter, sparking off a mass transition to a digital services ecosystem in India.

CoSN today awarded the national Trusted Learning Environment (TLE) Seal to Cypress-Fairbanks ISD in Houston, TX. The district, which is the third school system in Texas to receive the Seal, earned the distinction for demonstrating a commitment to protecting student data through modern, rigorous policies and practices.
Located in the northwest corner of Houston, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD has 91 campuses and provides instruction to 116,500 students. It is the third largest district in Texas and the 23rd-largest in the United States.
Cypress-Fairbanks ISD joins 16 other school districts in small, large, urban and rural communities that have earned the Seal: Baltimore County Public Schools (MD); Boulder Valley Public Schools (CO); Butler County Schools (AL); Cambridge Public Schools (MA); Denver Public Schools (CO); Fulton County Schools (GA); Highland Local Schools (OH); Lewisville Independent School District (TX); Loudoun County Public Schools (VA); Miami-Dade County Public Schools (FL); Park Hill School District (MO); Raytown Quality Schools (MO); Round Rock ISD (TX); Satsuma City Schools (AL); Zionsville Community Schools (IN); and Bozeman Public Schools (MT).
"Congratulations to Cypress-Fairbanks for their proven leadership in carrying out critical, impactful privacy work. They join a unique group of districts that have earned this national Seal, and we are excited about the Seal's continued growth in Texas and across the country," said Keith Krueger, CEO CoSN.
Leadership, by providing the guidance, frameworks and resources to direct the use and governance of student data in a manner that is transparent to all stakeholders.
Business, by establishing vetting processes and contracts for technology providers that, at minimum, address applicable compliance with laws while supporting innovation.
Data security, by implementing strong data protection practices across all media and auditing regularly to maintain high thresholds over time.
Professional development, by requiring school staff to conduct privacy and security training and offering related resources to all stakeholders in the community.
Classroom, by implementing educational procedures and processes to ensure transparency and build privacy knowledge while advancing curricular goals.
As a Seal recipient, the district will be required to maintain their commitment to improving their student data privacy practices and reapply for the TLE Seal every two years.
Developed for K-12 school systems of all governance structures, the TLE Seal was formed through decades of experience and expertise from 28 school system leaders nationwide, as well as the Program's lead partners: AASA, The School Superintendents Association; the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO); and ASCD. Their collective input identified the steps schools should take – in addition to regulatory compliance – to help ensure student data privacy and security.

I for one do but there is a proviso attached to that...
I like the fact he is a Brit at the top of his sport, its great that we have someone to get behind who is quite possibly the best of his generation but... I do think he can be a bit of an arse at times, he decision to skip the London F1 demo when ALL other drivers attended was a bit of a dick move. Although in true LH style he rocked up at Silverstone and wiped the floor with the lot of them and silenced all his critics.

Think he's a great driver no doubt about it, probably one of the best since Senna!
Guy can be a prick though, he enjoys the lime light and who can blame him! He was untouchable in the British Grand Prix and one of those tracks he just seems to excel at, fair play for Bottas to come second though even if the Ferrari punctures did help

I didn't used to like him, BUT I think he's grown up a lot over the last few years, particularly since he moved to MB from McLaren. I wonder if he was always "the kid" at McLaren and so there was a temptation to behave like a spoilt brat. He's become a good role model, and a good ambassador to the sport, regardless of his results. I agree he can be a bit of a dick at times still now, but I think compared to Vettel's behaviour and moaning this year he's risen above most of it and is getting on with the job at hand. I genuinely hope he demolishes everyone else and wins the championship
Regards "the London thing" - given the London media day is basically posturing BS by the F1 powers that be / part of the F1 media circus I don't blame him for skipping it. There's this constant bullshit between F1 and Silverstone where either the contract is nearly up and F1 threaten to go somewhere else, or they're mid-contract and Silverstone threaten to back out and put their prices up - we're currently seeing the latter. Silverstone know they've got F1 by the short-hairs, F1 know it too - there's such support for F1 in the UK they HAVE to have a UK F1 race, and there's nowhere else in the UK other than Silverstone that could host an F1 race without 100 million in infrastructure spend (which would take about 10 years to complete). None of the other circuits have the up-front cash, the space or the access to do it..
Its a catch 22 situation and this dangling carrot of a possible London F1 race is just part of the whole posturing that goes with it - the roads in London are terrible, they've got about 12" crown on most of them, huge kerb stones, pedestrian crossings, etc., etc. Its just not sensible to even suggest it might happen in the short term, unless they hold it at some disused industrial estate in Dagenham maybe?!
As Lewis is no doubt strongly linked and indebted to the BRDC (or whoever owns Silverstone - I forget) he's probably choosing (or being told) to stay out of the whole London F1 thing and UK F1 location in general
Apologies, that got a bit off track - to answer your original question.. Yeah I think Lewis is alright! You can really see Lewis wants it this year, he's supportive of his fans, he's risen above most of the nit-picking, and when the car behaves he's head and shoulders over everyone else this season.. good luck to him!
Post by Jay TrackAddict on Jul 25, 2017 12:00:50 GMT
Agree with you on everything there, nowhere in the UK has the facilities to host F1... it very nearly ruined Donington Park when they tried.
I think Lewis has just grown into himself over the last 4 years and turned into the person Mclaren feared he might become. It was clear that Mclaren wanted him to toe the line and behave how Ron Dennis thought he should.
Its great to see someone express themselves and he is taking F1 in a direction that younger viewers can join in with, social media etc...
I think the issue some people might have with Lewis is he is the first to break the mould of what a modern day grand prix driver is, they are all so woodern and emotionless in press conferences Lewis stands out as being the odd one out but, I think its the other 18 that are a bit boring....
...the other 1 being Danny Ric, that guy is a legend (well he's ok for an aussie), you can tell he just loves the fact he's an F1 driver.

Luis Hamilton is a total BELL, he segragates himself from everyone, it's never his fault when he doesn't win, he's a smug twat when he does win and he bad mouths his up bringing into the sport as if someone's had a gun to his head. He just strikes me as a spoilt little brat n I cans stand him!
Don't get me wrong, the guy is one hell of a driver but when there's thousands and thousands of people, many of them young, looking up to you as a role model the last thing you should be doing is acting like a child.
He reminds me of another driver I can't stand Mr Jason Plato!
We need more good guy drivers in the sport like Ricardo and Vettle
Everyone has a right to an opinion and I won't argue with what you've said, but Vettel can hardly be held up as a good guy driver after recent incidents - regardless of how frustrated he was (and what the marshals decided) he had a massive spaz and drove into Hamilton under the safety car, he's consistently swearing over the car<>pit radio, and he doesn't half act entitled at times!
I think its a very high pressure situation for them all so I can't really pass judgement on any of these people with a complete picture of whats going on at the time, but there is definitely good and bad on both sides..
Plato is in a bit of a similar situation to Vettel at the moment I think - he could be amazing, but just doesn't quite have the car. Got to be hugely frustrating if you're stuck in a team that talks-the-talk but can't walk-the-walk!

Personally I love him, I'd just started work at McLaren a month before he won the championship in 2008 and he came in the Wednesday after and personally thanked everyone and took the time to speak to everyone who spoke to him and signed countless autographs.
He left at the right time and has gone from strength to strength
Vettel is not a good guy of F1, its good to sometimes have a villain but he does need to wind his neck in a bit. I hated the Red Bull Vettel and the stupid finger.... I started to like the Ferrari Vettel, in the first couple of years he seemed more rounded and friendly, now he's gone back to being a bit of a dick. The swearing on the radio is out of order, what he did in Mexico last year shouting on the radio was bang out of order.

Kimi has the funniest attitude of all the drivers, he's a miserable bastard but some of the stuff he comes out with is pure gold!
I've seen most of the F1 drivers wives on TV in the past - they have NO reason to be miserable!
Also, they get paid millions to drive around some of the best race tracks on the planet in some of the best race cars on the planet.. ..most of us only dream of getting tickets to watch them!

A study of family breakdown by Professor Mike Brewer and Dr Alita Nandi at the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, has found that women and children suffer most when couples split.
The study,Partnership dissolution: how does it affect income, employment and well-being? looked at how incomes, employment patterns, housing, mental health and life satisfaction change when couples split up. Using data from all 18 waves (1991-2008) of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), an annual longitudinal survey that interviews every adult member of a nationally-representative sample of around 5,000 households, the study assesses comprehensively how these different domains change in the years following separation.
The most important results are that children and their mothers see living standards fall by more, on average, after separation, than do fathers. Correspondingly, around 15 percent of mothers and 19 percent of children fall into relative poverty upon separation.
An even more striking finding, although one affecting fewer individuals, is the gender gap in living standards after separation of men and women from couples with grown-up children: these women, who are mostly aged over 50 and tend to have been married, see living standards fall by far more, on average, after separation, than their former partners, and almost a third fall into relative poverty.
The study supports previous findings showing that some individuals (mostly men, and mostly from previously low-income couples) see little impact in their household net income around separation because, post-separation, they move in with other adults (but not as husband and wife).
Finally, the researchers found that, for all groups, mental health and life satisfaction decline around the time of separation, but both are quick to return to pre-split levels. These trends seem unrelated to what happens to income after separation.
The research will be of interest to the policy makers currently considering more ways to support families and to reduce family breakdown rates. The UK has one of the highest rates of family breakdown in the developed world, with 69% of children living with both parents, according to the most recent OECD figures, which puts Britain in the bottom four – above only Belgium, Estonia and Latvia for split families against an OECD average of 84%.
Partnership dissolution: how does it affect income, employment and well-being? By Professor Mike Brewer and Dr Alita Nandi, is published by the Institute for Social and Economic Research as Working Paper 2014-30. Mike Brewer discusses this research as part of ISER's award-winning podcast series.

In 1959, William L. Bauhan purchased Richard R. Smith Inc., a Rindge-based publishing company founded in New York City in the 1930s. Bauhan ran R.R. Smith, first under its original name, then as Noone House, named for the family home across from Peterborough's Noone Falls, and finally, after the Bauhans moved to neighboring Dublin, as William L. Bauhan Inc.After Bauhan's death in 2006, local writer and editor Ian Aldrich shepherded the company through a transitional phase. Now, Bauhan's daughter, Sarah Bauhan, who worked with her father for years as a book designer and ultimately managed the company, has reincorporated as Bauhan Publishing LLC."With the proliferation of new media and Internet publish-on-demand services, this may seem an odd time to invest in a traditional book publishing business," says Bauhan. "But we can offer something that the newcomers can't: well-designed and well-edited books printed on high-quality paper with beautiful, eye-catching covers. It's all about craftsmanship. Bauhan Publishing brings personal service, many years of experience, and the understanding that book publishing is an art as well as a business venture."The company continues to focus on New England regional books in the areas of history, art, nature studies, and poetry, as well as venturing into thoughtful books that explore sustainability of both the earth and the spirit.
