The last soundtrack of composer Guy Farley's that I reviewed was Cashback. While I enjoyed Farley's music on that release, it was spoilt somewhat by the inclusion of a number of rather poor 'pop' tracks. Thankfully, with the release of Knife Edge, we get approximately 40 minutes of Farley's music.
The first few notes of the opening theme instantly reminded me of John Williams 'A New Beginning' from Minority Report. But this very quickly transforms into a Bernard Herrmann-esque theme.
'England', which has one of the albums most beautiful themes at its core.
'The House' has a number of interesting segments, one of which reminded me of Nathan McCree's score for the first Tomb Raider game.
'Collapsed' - is noteworthy only because it appears to pay homage to James Horner's Aliens theme.
'A Kiss' is very reminiscent of John Barry's work. It also revisits the theme used in 'England'.
'Emma & Pollock' is one of the most powerful and emotive tracks, collecting a few interesting themes. Shame it wasn't a little longer.
'It's Turning' is another powerful and hauntingly beautiful collection of themes which bounce off each other perfectly.
'Old Photos' is quite haunting and, again, reminiscent of McCree's Tomb Raider music.
'Roof Chase' is another Herrmann-esque track. In fact this one is much more obvious - with just a hint of the music from Vertigo.
To be honest every track on this score has something positive to recommend it - I had to stop myself writing a dull track-by-track review. All you need to know is that from start to finish the music for Knife Edge will excite, thrill and move you.

Microsoft's latest sustainability effort report includes some good news for keeping Xbox energy friendly
Arif Bacchus
Microsoft has published its annual sustainability report, looking at its progress on the effort in 2021. The report looks at how Microsoft is moving closer to becoming a carbon negative, zero waste company by 2030. In addition, a separate post from the Xbox team also looks at how Xbox is looking to stay green heading and deliver on Microsoft's goals.
Generally speaking, Microsoft says that it has seen an overall reduction in scope 1 and scope 2 emissions of about 17% year over year. This is through purchasing of renewable energy. Meanwhile, scope 3 emissions went up 23% year over year.
For those unfamiliar, scope 3 emissions are hard to control. It includes the materials in Microsoft buildings, the business travel of its employees, and the full life cycle of its products, including the electricity customers may consume. As for scope 1, and scope 2, those are direct carbon emissions, and indirect emissions like exhaust, and the things that come from energy production. Microsoft explained this in a separate post from 2020.
Microsoft is hoping to reduce scope 3 emissions by accelerating work to set business-group-specific annual carbon intensity targets. Also in the plan is restructuring and increasing Microsoft's internal carbon fee to better match the underlying cost of carbon abatement.
As for what's in the plans for Xbox, there's a lot in the docket. Microsoft is planning to design Xbox products and accessories to be 100% recyclable by 2030. This builds on the fact that Microsoft switched to using post-consumer recycled resins on Xbox Series S consoles. Elsewhere, Microsoft is also allowing system and game updates to be downloaded while an Xbox is in Energy Saver mode.
Other plans include the fact that Microsoft has embedded an enhanced power monitoring system in a small subset of consoles. This is for anonymous, telemetry collection. Basically, this helps Microsoft identify the best opportunities to introduce future improvements to help save power. You can learn more about these changes over on the Xbox Wire.

When I was a sophomore in college I was too poor to buy Christmas gifts, so I had my grandma teach me to crochet. That year all my loved ones received poorly crafted rectangles of yarn that could barely be recognized as scarves.
I've kept at it over the years and slowly developed a little more skill, although I still mostly stick to simple scarves and blankets. Now that our nights are getting chilly, I've been spending my evenings camped out in front of SVU reruns while working on crocheting projects.
Earlier this week I completed this pink ombre blanket using a simple shell pattern. The shell is one of my favorite patterns because it looks a lot more complicated than it is – the only stitches you need to know are the single and double crochet.
Starting Chain: Chain in multiples of 6 until you reach your desired length. Add two chains and turn your work.
Row 1: Single crochet in second chain from hook. Skip 2 chains, and do 5 double crochets in the next chain. Skip 2 chains, and do one single crochet in the next chain. Continue across the rest of the row. Chain 2 and turn.
Row 2: Do 2 double crochets in the next single crochet. Skip 2, then single crochet in the next double crochet. Skip two, and do 5 double crochets in the next single crochet. Skip 2, and single crochet in the next double crochet. Continue this pattern across. Do 3 double crochets in the last single crochet. Chain 1 and turn.
Row 3: Single crochet in the next double crochet. Skip 2, and do 5 double crochets in the next single crochet. Skip two, and do a single crochet in the next double crochet. Continue this pattern across, chain 2 and turn.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 until your blanket reaches your desired length.
Right now this guy is hanging out on the pink armchair in the guest bedroom until the weather gets cool enough to require a lap blanket in the evenings.
And in case crocheting is not your thing, I found some really pretty ombre blankets for sale here, here, and here.

25 Sri Lankan asylum seekers deported from Australia
Twenty- Five Sri Lankan nationals who had been deported from Australia as they had attempted to illegally, arrived in Sri Lanka earlier today (15), police reveal.
Airport officials said three women were among the deportees, who had flown to Malaysia and attempted to migrate to Australia illegally.
The Sri Lankan asylum seekers were handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the airport.
The individuals are believed to be residents of the Vavuniya, Mannar, and Kilinochchi areas.
Police added that further investigations on the incident have gotten underway.
1 Response to 25 Sri Lankan asylum seekers deported from Australia
Kapuddu Thorawansa says:
Australia's racist, Nazi-like Minister for Immigration is implementing immigration policies similar to the 'Greatest Nation on Earth'.
He does not care about the circumstances which led to these 25 hapless human beings, seeking in racist Australia.
BTW, Australia's Minister for Immigration is likely to become the PM of Australia within the next couple of months. With that change and pressure from other racist political parties (Paulina Hamson of One Nation), Australia will be a racist white's only regime forcing not only refugees but citizens and visa holders with skin other than 'white' to return to their homelands!

Eager to change the conversation from their years-long exposure of user data via Google+ to the bright, shining future the company is providing, Google has announced some changes to the way permissions are approved for Android apps. The new process will be slower, more deliberate, and hopefully secure.
The changes are part of "Project Strobe," a "root-and-branch review of third-party developer access to Google account and Android device data and our philosophy around apps' data access." Essentially they decided it was time to update the complex and likely not entirely cohesive set of rules and practices around those third-party developers and API access.
But the team doing the review has plenty of other suggestions to improve the process of informed consent to sharing data with third parties.
The first change is the most user-facing. When an application wants to access your Google account data — say your Gmail, Calendar, and Drive contents for a third-party productivity app — you'll have to approve each one of those separately. You'll also have the opportunity to deny access to one or more of those requests, so if you never plan on using the Drive functionality, you can just nix it and the app will never get that permission.
These permissions can also be delayed and gated behind the actions that require them. For instance, if this theoretical app wanted to give you the opportunity to take a picture to add to an email, it wouldn't have to ask up front when you download it. Instead, when you tap the option to attach a picture, it would ask permission to access the camera then and there. Google went into a little more detail on this in a post on its developer blog.
The changes will start rolling out this month, so don't be surprised if things look a little different next time you download a game or update an app.
The second and third changes have to do with limiting what data from your Gmail and messaging can be accessed by apps, and what apps can be granted access in the first place.
Specifically, Google is restricting access to these sensitive data troves to apps "directly enhancing email functionality" for Gmail and your default calling and messaging apps for call logs and SMS data.
There are some edge cases where this might be annoying to power users; some have more than one messaging app that falls back to SMS or integrates SMS replies, and this might require those apps to take a new approach. And apps that want access to these things may have trouble convincing Google's review authorities that they qualify.
Developers will also need to review and agree to a new set of rules governing what Gmail data can be used, how they can use it, and the measures they must have in place to protect it. For example, apps are not allowed to "transfer or sell the data for other purposes such as targeting ads, market research, email campaign tracking, and other unrelated purposes." That probably puts a few business models out of the running.
Apps looking to handle Gmail data will also have to submit a report detailing "application penetration testing, external network penetration testing, account deletion verification, reviews of incident response plans, vulnerability disclosure programs, and information security policies." No fly-by-night operations permitted, clearly.
There will also be additional scrutiny on what permissions developers ask for to make sure it matches up with what their app requires. If you ask for Contacts access but don't actually use it for anything, you'll be asked to remove that, since it only increases risk.
These various new requirements will go into effect next year, with application review (a multi-week process) starting on January 9; tardy developers will see their apps stop working at the end of March if they don't comply.
The relatively short timeline here suggests that some apps may in fact shut down temporarily or permanently due to the rigors of the review process. Don't be surprised if early next year you get an update saying service may be interrupted due to Google review policies or the like.
These changes are just the first handful issuing from the recommendations of Project Strobe; we can expect more to appear over the next few months, though perhaps not such striking ones. To say Gmail and Android apps are widely used is something of an understatement, so it's understandable that they would be focused on first, but there are many other policies and services the company will no doubt find reason to improve.

Daniel Craig's stormtrooper cameo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens 'revealed'
US magazine claims James Bond star played a First Order grunt in one of the new space opera instalment's standout comedy scenes

Harrison Ford dines out in Peckham and our film of the year – the Dailies podcast
Daniel Craig did cameo as a stormtrooper in the new Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens – despite having denied doing so – according to Entertainment Weekly.
Reporter Chris Lee, who broke the story of the James Bond star's strident rebuttal to a long-standing rumour started by Simon Pegg in May, says he has confirmed Craig's role in the film and knows which stormtrooper the British actor plays.
Warning: the following contains minor spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Lee alleges Craig plays the First Order grunt sent to guard Daisy Ridley's Rey in a scene on board a starship in the middle part of Abrams' film. The segue is used to show the audience the young scavenger's nascent Force powers: she tells the stormtrooper: "You will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open." Craig (allegedly) initially replies: "I'll tighten those restraints, scavenger scum," but after Ridley focuses her Jedi skills and repeats the treaty, eventually responds: "I'll remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open", before doing just that.
The scene is one of the standout comedy moments in The Force Awakens, recalling Alec Guinness's Jedi mind tricks as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original 1977 Star Wars and those of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in 1983's Return of the Jedi.
Daniel Craig: I'd 'never bother' with a cameo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens
When the Bond actor was asked about his rumoured cameo in July, Craig responded: "Why would I ever bother doing something like that? Fucking hell! Pffft. Play an extra in another movie." Lee alleges now that the British actor lied to him, but it appears, rather, that a certain style of British humour may have been in play.
The Guardian film show special: Star Wars: The Force Awakens – video review
For the record, Pegg (who also has a cameo in The Force Awakens, reportedly as a troll-like Jakku bigwig) told the Sun: "I wasn't a stormtrooper. Daniel Craig, he was a stormtrooper," in May, before adding: "I shouldn't have said that."
For those still wondering how the alleged Craig cameo might have come about, Spectre and The Force Awakens were filming at British studio Pinewood during the same period last year, so 007 would have had just a short walk from one set to another.

Martin and Thess (II/III)
On March 22, 1995, Jenna receives a certified letter. It has her full address on the front, including "The Firewood World" at the very bottom. It is delivered by postal jet. The letter reads as follows:
I hope you are well.
I had never thought to let you go. You were close to my heart, and I thought that you would die or remain with me forever. Yet life takes funny turns.
Still, I have need of your services again. I hope that you're available. I know that you've been confused and angry and acting, well, as one would expect Jane to act. But you should visit me soon.
You belong to me.
On the letter is drawn the crest of the monster's house.
Three days pass, and most of another.
It is March 25.
Martin, stumbling through the mud of the underworld, meets Thess.
Thess is a young man, with clear blue eyes, angel's wings, and a jacket.
"People loved me," says Thess.
Thess is building. This is his punishment. He is building creatures, always, making new kinds of life.
Then they die, and turn to dust, and the dust blows away.
Thess is steeping in mud and failure and it has not improved him yet.
"I radiated it," Thess says. "It was my answer. 'You can escape your pain. Just love Thess!'"
"Oh," Martin says.
"It was a clinging love, a reaching love, a scrambling love," says Thess. "It was more real than the world. It was an awakening love. I was going to walk right into Central and they would have loved me. And I would have asked them to let her go. I would have told them that I was her brother. And she would have come and taken shelter with me, and them too, and she would have been safe."
"I died," Thess says. "In a little town, by a little school. A faceless god bound me to the earth, cut my ribs out, and pulled my lungs out my back. Then love died and the world was hollow."
"I'm sorry," Martin says.
"Help me," says Thess.
"I could leave you here to suffer, thus allowing you to transform into something better," says Martin.
Thess looks at Martin. It's a very sardonic look.
"Yes," says Thess. "That plan is certain to be effective."
Martin looks down.
"It's what I know how to do," Martin says.
"Nothing?"
Martin hesitates.
"If you leave me here," says Thess, "I will suffer eternally and gain nothing from it. Then one day you will go and face the monster, and he'll point his finger and laugh. And you'll say, 'watch out! I'm going to leave you alone so hard your head will spin!'"
"I'd planned to revise the speech a little," Martin says, "First."
"Give it a few drafts?"
Thess looks at Martin, and suddenly Martin loves him so much his heart hurts.
"I made a glorious frog-thing," Thess says, "I called it Alitheia. But it died. They all die. Each of my children. I grow hollower and hollower but there is no end to me. Help me."
So Martin reaches out for Thess, and at his touch Thess turns to dust.

Graeme on November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am said:
Thess is yet another of Jenna's solutions to the monster – just love them so much it'll stop. I wonder how many more different solutions she tried? They all seem to have broken dharmas.
Martin is born at 6.38 pm the same day that Jenna receives the letter. In Before He Was Cool the firewood death is right outside his door, and a giant shadow was seen moving along the street outside the barber's shop. I wonder if Martin and the firewood monster had just been created by Jenna, in order to provide her with a little cathartic destruction?
David Goldfarb on November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am said:
Another nice catch, Graeme — I'd forgotten about the date. That does explain some things going on in "Before He Was Cool".
So it seems like the monster posted that letter on the equinox, and it arrived a day later. There has to be some significance to that.
bv728 on November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am said:
So the Monster calls her Jane in the letter, before Martin came along…
Veddy interesting.
As we learned a while back, the monster was the one who renamed Jenna Jane. That's a thing that the monster does, renaming you so he can control you.
His demons do it, too.
"Why do you call me Michael?" Micah asks.
"In renaming you," Anakopto says, "we remake you."
"I see," Micah says.
Also, the events Thess describes are clearly tied to a legend from a while back, which even if it can't explain the events might be able to explain their meaning.
-Eric
It's odd that in "Bob (III/IV)", where the firewood world was created, Bob's sister is Jane, but here she's Jenna. Perhaps Jane, feeling safe in her new world, allowed herself to revert? And here's the monster barging in and showing her that she was never safe at all — that seems to fit his pattern, giving things in order to be able to take them away again, as with Liril's doll Latch.
insanitykun on November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am said:
That's definitely what happened to Thess, at least. I wonder if the god the Horsemen are talking about is God, the Monster, or just the god that killed Thess.
I feel like I know Thess from somewhere.
Incidentally, I wanted to note that "Watch out, or I'll leave you alone so hard your head will spin!" is one of my favorite lines to date.
Probably either from Four Horsemen or just because of his similarity to one of the monster's demons. Kyrievo, I think, had a similar power to his.
S on November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am said:
Is a frog-thing beautiful?
If **beauty is truth, and truth beauty**, then Alitheia must be beautiful – unless she be misnamed.
Can we trust what Thess has to say at all? He created a thing named [size=16:62091d1dcc">αλήθεια[/size:62091d1dcc">, but it died.
People claim to be truthful all the time. Sometimes **They** claim to be **Truth**.
[size=16:62091d1dcc">λεγει αυτω ιησους εγω ειμι η οδος και η αληθεια και η ζωη ουδεις ερχεται προς τον πατερα ει μη δι εμου
[/size:62091d1dcc">
I want to know what Alitheia looked like.
And what the hell kind of name is Thess? Short for **Θεσσαλια**? What about this **Thessaly**?
In "Four Horsemen", the place was called "Thessel".
In "Four Horsemen", the word "ALITHEIA" was defined as "sudden recognition of love for someone you've known a long time" — a concept beloved of fanfic writers. As far as I've been able to determine, this is not in fact a real Greek word. It resembles "aletheia", "truth", and also another word that means "vain, idle foolishness".
I am only just beginning to study Greek, but I think I recognize that long string as being the Bible verse where Jesus says, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; noone comes to the Father but through me." (Would have been a nice gesture to translate it yourself, S….)

Ahh… but where's the reward in having everything handed to us as a gift? Isn't it more fun figuring things out for ourselves? Rebecca certainly seems to think so. :twisted:

Accounts receivable financing can be a valuable tool for a growing business. Banks love financing accounts receivable because it is a high quality asset.
Banks will typically advance a loan equal to approximately 80% of your borrowing base. A borrowing base is eligible receivables, with downward adjustments made for high concentration or late receivables.
Banks are implicitly securing against your cash too, as it is kept in their bank and is under their control. Through the "offset" provision, a bank can use your cash balance to make themselves whole if receivables are not being collected.
Top technology company receivable lenders are Silicon Valley Bank, Comerica Bank, Square One Bank, and CitiNational Bank.

Q: add get parameter to laravel's redirect method I use laravel 5.6
I have GET parameter which I want to pass to redirect function.
Route::get('/about', function () {
   //I want to add param to this redirect function
   return redirect('/en/about');
});

if the route looks like /about?param=123 after redirect the param  will be lost. is there way to add parameter to redirect method? as I see this function doesn't include input parameters. the parameter is optional, so it may not be provided. maybe there's way to override this function? or some other solution? all suggestions will be appreciated
UPDATE
is it possible to override the redirect() method ? I think in my case it will be the best solution

A: Yeah, you can redirect to named routes and pass parameters, like this:
return redirect()->route('en.about', ['param' => 123]);

A: just do something like this:
 return redirect('/en/about?param='.$param);

A: If you don't want to add route name then you can do the same with controller function
Route::get('/about/{param}', function () {
   return \Redirect::action('CONTROLLER@FUNCTION',['param'=>$param])
});

OR with the helper function
return redirect()->action('CONTROLLER@FUNCTION');

A: Its best to do it this way in your case:
return redirect(route("en.about")."?param=123");

A: You have to get the parameter in the URL and pass it to redirect method in an array
Route::get('/about/{param}', function () {
   return \Redirect::route('/en/about', ['param'=>$param])
});

without having to use named route
Route::get('/about/{param}', function () {
   return redirect('/en/about', ['param'=>$param])
});

For optional parameter
Route::get('/about/{param?}', function ($param = 'my param') {
   return redirect('/en/about', ['param'=>$param])
});

A: Route::get('/about', function () {
   //I want to add param to this redirect function
   return redirect()->to(url('/en/about',['param' => 'Pram vakue', 'param2' => $param]));
});

If you use a route() then you have to create a named route.
Hope this helps

Apologies if this has already been posted (I did a quick Google search on the subject title - and could not find anything on the Prisonplanet forums).
So with that out of the way, here goes - this was part of a seminar they held in March of 2008. This is from the United States Air University. The name Alexander Levis pops up again.
Some mod might want to move this post to another forum section.
CAESAR II addressed in 1994 adaptive organizations at the operational and tactical level and became a suite of tools for supporting command centers.
- The solution set has the structure of a Lattice with the minimally connected organizations as the lowest solutions and the maximally connected ones as the highest ones.
- The Field Intelligence Officers interact with the environment and send their "Situation Assessment� to the Intelligence Officer.
- The Intelligence Officer fuses this information and sends his "Assessment� to the Force Commander.
- The Director of Operations in turn "directs� the Commander of Operations who develops a plan based on the COA and executes it.
- The variable links are introduced into the problem based on the type of interactions that usually exist in command and control organizations. They may or may not exist in the Red group.
- Cultural attributes are used to determine probable links.
Can we infer the possible organizational structure of the Red Force and their information exchanges so that we can focus our ISR assets to the right targets?
The different solution spaces for the two cases show that cultural attributes do affect the structure of the organization.
They can provide valuable insight into possible structures that may be used by an adversary.
The common interactions in the C-MINOs can be used to identify the high value ISR targets.
Metrics from Social Network Analysis can indicate the strength of the relationships; the organizational structure can inform the Social Network of the types of interactions between network nodes.
BTW - I want to comment on this - you know what this means, right? Facebook, MySpace, Hyves (NL) and all these other social networking sites - guess what? They're including us all in these systems - building their petri nets, creating influence nets, the system here (CAESAR) creates its Courses of Actions, the likely scenarios that groups of people are likely to embark on, and how to counteract against this, and so on. And it can go back in time, look at the sequence of events, and recalculate its COAs based on prior history.
Link all this up to a neural AI network of some kind and you've really got one big, undefeatable Big Brother/Global Brain-type system.
I guess this might be obvious to people like Anti_Illuminati and lordssyndicate and Sane, but I don't think the rest of the public has any idea how awfully close the terminology here matches that of the so-called 'fun and games' social networking sites for the general public.
They're checking out each person's individual likes and dislikes - they're checking out his 'network' in terms of related people he talks to - they scan all the text individually and other extensive data mining operations to make up probability profiles that someone is likely to become 'extreme', 'subversive', whatever. And they're feeding this all into the C2 bases.
Of course we know this. Who doesn't seriously know this? Anyone will gladly agree the statement "all politicians are corrupt", the majority of Americans will also agree to the statement "You know They (the government) are tracking everything, right?": therefore of course we understand this. The above is proof of pyramid type organizing and the basic "workings" of the aforementioned statements.
Now the sheep may not understand completely the workings, but they figure that , yeah, its all in place. Meaning the big brother tech brain.
Give the sheep a bit more credit.
How many of them would figure they post all this stuff in the open without any encryption layers? How many of them even know their entire society is being run on game theory?
How many of them know that all of genetics is based on game theory?
What this means is, most of genetics might be pure and utter crap if the underlying theories that it's based on (game theory) are invalidated.
Hence why i think people really DON'T know. They understand a part of it, they understand that it's something to do with being tracked, but they have no idea the extent of which it is done - and that the people who are doing this themselves are basically sold on a fake enemy - Al-Qaeda as the great asymmetrical force that validates all of the research going into net-centric warfare, effects-based operations, future combat systems and so on.
And they have no idea that basically all of warfare is now being treated as a game - it's all based on two adversaries (blue vs red) going at it each other, the computer calculates what's likely to happen and it decides the rules, the setpieces, and so on. Gulf War I was a trial balloon for fourth-generation warfare, Operation Iraqi Freedom was a trial balloon for net-centric warfare, and so on. Basically, wars will never come to an end - because each war is in itself a massive laboratory for getting to the next level of military dominance.
Combine that with the entertainment people infatuate themselves with - videogames - which is all based on game theory, combine that with what people assume to be real legitimate science of their biological makeup (selfish gene theory, all based on game theory), combine that with the UML techniques system programmers need to learn to make software programs (all based on operations research - again, war) - and basically, the 'war economy' has been here with us for a long time - it's just that most people didn't know how it all interconnected into each other.
Sick f**ks. The world needs to know EXACTLY THIS PHRASE because it's time we stopped funding it.
Basically, wars will never come to an end - because each war is in itself a massive laboratory for getting to the next level of military dominance.
QFT. I agree - MOST people think of the social networking sites as 'fun' ... a place to post pictures and link to friends and family. They have the mindset that 'I have nothing to hide' - so nobody would care about my info... blah blah.. and don't realize they are part of the bigger database of information being tracked to fill up the 'observation' fields in the Ptech-driven control mechanism (OODA loop). This is about controlling us. This (social networking sites) is a giant LAB for gathering data. They want 100% error-free predictive ability on our reactions, movements and anticipated behaviors.
This addled goose is wary of social networks. Some trophy generation denizens believe that they don't exist unless providing information on these publishing platforms. The trophy kids want to "hook up� and keep their "friends� informed about their activities and where abouts. When one of the trophy kids becomes a person of interest to law enforcement, those social postings are going to be somewhat useful to certain authorities. I wonder if the trophy kids realize that some information which is innocuous at the time it becomes available might provide insights to a more informed thinker. Run a query for profiling and see what you think of that discipline. Finally, there's a nifty tool called the Analyst's Notebook. If you are not familiar with it, run a Google query for that puppy. From my point of view the information "in� social systems is fascinating. Technology is an interesting construct. The consequences of technology can be even more interesting. Think search, content processing, link analysis, clustering, and other useful methods crunching on those social data. Yum, yum.
The chief executive officer of Sun Microsystems said Monday that consumer privacy issues are a "red herring."
at an event to launch his company's new Jini technology.
McNealy's comments came only hours after competitor Intel (INTC) reversed course under pressure and disabled identification features in its forthcoming Pentium III chip.
Jodie Bernstein, director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection at the Federal Trade Commission, said that McNealy's remarks were out of line.
"Millions of American consumers tell us that privacy is a grave concern to them when they are thinking about shopping online," Bernstein said.
Sun Microsystems is a member of the Online Privacy Alliance, an industry coalition that seeks to head off government regulation of online consumer privacy in favor of an industry self-regulation approach.
"It is a conundrum, because I know that [Sun is] a member of the Online Privacy Alliance, and they have spoken positively about responding to consumer needs," Bernstein said. "This sounds very different than what we have generally been hearing from members of the alliance."
Privacy watchdogs echoed Bernstein's remarks.
"I'm astonished by Scott's remarks," said Jason Catlett, CEO of Junkbusters, a company that makes privacy software. "I wonder if he heard what Intel decided yesterday? Intel obviously decided that privacy is such a hot spot that they changed plans they've had for months in a matter of hours."
Catlett said the comments are even more surprising in light of the fact that the undersecretary of commerce is currently in Europe to demonstrate to foreign governments that American companies are committed to security and privacy.
"David Aaron is in Europe now saying the United States has adequate privacy protection the same day the chief executive of one of the leading computer companies stands up and says 'you have no privacy,'" Catlett said.
"It's tantamount to a declaration of war."
McNealy made the remarks in response to a question about what privacy safeguards Sun (SUNW) would be considering for Jini. The technology is designed to allow various consumer devices to communicate and share processing resources with one another.
"I think Scott's comments were completely irresponsible and that Sun and Intel and many of these leaders are creating public policy every time they make a product decision," said Lori Fena, chairman of the board of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
For consumers, McNealy's comments raised questions about Sun's commitment to privacy.
"One might hope that industry leaders such as McNealy would propose solutions to enhance citizen privacy rather than just telling them to 'get over it,'" said Linda Walsh, a consumer concerned about electronic privacy.
"He may have no privacy because of his status as CEO. He shouldn't assume his reality is everyone else's," Walsh said.
In December, a New Hampshire consultant alleged that Sun violated its online privacy agreement and redistributed his personal information against his wishes.
Sun representatives could not be reached for comment.
Hence - this guy is fully aware what's going on - but he goes along to get along. His current job is to get people used to living in a 'panopticon' society.
Identify high-quality intelligence faster with comprehensive analytical and visualization capabilities.
Analyst's Notebook 8, part of the i2 Intelligence-Led Operations Platform, delivers the richest assisted analysis and visualization capabilities in the world to support analysts in quickly turning large sets of disparate information into high-quality and actionable intelligence to prevent crime and terrorism.
Analyst's Workstation 8 is the ultimate toolkit for analysis; an integrated suite of visual analysis and database applications that reveal relationships, patterns and trends in data and simplify the creation and dissemination of actionable intelligence products to support intelligence-led operations.
iBase 8 is a database application that contains unique collaboration and search capabilities enabling the capture, management of data and the dissemination of actionable intelligence and insight in support of intelligence-led operations.
iBase 8 IntelliShare, part of the iBase family, is a web-based application providing self service, real-time access to intelligence stored in iBase databases; enabling faster, informed decision making and empowering collaboration.
iXv Visualizer 7 puts the power of i2 visualizations into existing applications and Web sites; helping communicate complex relationships and patterns faster and instantly linking Analyst's Notebook users to enterprise data sources.
PatternTracer 2 provides a powerful extension to Analyst's Notebook to enable rapid pattern analysis of telephone call data to quickly identify potential targets and predict future incidents more accurately.
The COPLINK software solution suite organizes and rapidly analyzes vast quantities of structured and seemingly unrelated data, currently housed in various incompatible databases and record management systems, over a highly secure intranet-based platform. COPLINK also provides the most advanced privacy and security features.
An elegant, completely integrated solution, COPLINK is tactically sophisticated, user friendly, adaptable to agency preferences, affordable, and scalable.
This is a very different type of analysis tool from those infosec professionals are used to. Link analysis, a crucial aspect of incident response, is usually done manually or by trying to use log correlators. This is a true link analyser with a long pedigree in analysing complex crimes and security incidents.
The application does all the installation work, after which come example charts and a superb help system to quickly move you from installation to production.
Within the first two hours, we had imported and analysed metadata from EnCase for a detailed analysis of data on a hard disk, put in hacker profiles to analyse inter-relationships between hackers and hacks, and analysed a 65,000 record IDS log for links between attacks and attackers.
Link analysis is applied to incident response post mortem. Logs, events and other data feed the link analyser's analysis process. The easiest way to input data is by importing from a spreadsheet using a CSV file. This allows users to import logs of virtually any kind into the analyser, then the tool sets up the relationships and displays them in various formats.
Once data is organised, viewing relationships is intuitive. Analyst's Notebook is part of a suite of products that allow very large, complex logs to be analysed and subtle connections to be found in extensive distributed enterprises.
Most documentation is in the help file, which we found helpful, while directories are created with extensive PDF files and examples, as well as a paper Quick Start Guide and a Guide to Power2, the core technology in the product.
Support is also extensive, with online and phone support and consulting teams available to assist with difficult cases.
The product is priced in the range of most forensic tools and far lower than typical log analysis appliances. The product will also reduce significantly the analysis time for an incident, so it can be resolved, production restored and large amounts of data analysed.
Rather than replacing log correlators, Analyst's Notebook leverages existing investment in expensive tools. The cost of the product and user training will be amortised in the first incident upon which it is used.
Privacy woes continue to plague Facebook this week following the revelation that a spam campaign is hijacking user accounts and posting messages on the Wall feature of user profiles.
According to security vendor Fortinet, the spam messages link to typical spam sites such as online pharmacy shops, one of which has been sourced to a web host that also serves content for several pill pushing sites.
Fortinet's Global Security Research Team warned that Wall posts containing links must be handled with care and recommends they should not be followed.
"While hijacked accounts have not been proved to be utilised for anything beyond posting relatively innocuous spam 2.0, it is not a stretch to think that links to drive-by-install malicious sites could be injected at some point,� warned Fortinet.
Users should be wary of phishing attempts when confronted by a login page or upon clicking a link contained in a friend's message, carefully check the login page URL, advised Fortinet.
Facebook's "Wall" feature, allows users to post comments on friends' profiles.
Meanwhile, the co-author of the book 'Facebook — Now What???', Jesse Stay revealed in a blog post last week that the incident may be linked to an application on Facebook known as Secret Crush.
Stay wrote that the application installed Spyware on peoples' computers and Facebook was forced to remove it in January but two months later it still seemed to be wreaking havoc.
"Doing a search for "crush calculator� on Facebook revealed a few groups users have set up to apologise to their friends for someone hacking into their account and sending messages about the "Crush Calculator�.
Additionally, just last week security researchers uncovered a new wave of attacks in which profiles on Facebook were used to post images - in this case the images were of child torture.
According to Fortinet, Facebook has been notified and is looking into the issue.
In response to an EPIC Freedom of Information Act Request, the Government Services Administration released several contracts between the federal government and web 2.0 companies, including agreements with Blip.tv, Blist, Google (YouTube), Yahoo (Flickr), and MySpace. EPIC also obtained amendments to agreements with Facebook, Slideshare.net, Vimeo.com, and AddThis.com.
The contracts do not address the privacy obligations of social media companies.
Exactly, progressivism. there will always be conflict. Because out of Chaos comes a new order. so on and so forth. That's what the civilization is ALL about for those that have observed the earth for a few years.
Objective: To conduct and explore the implications of effects-based operations on the conduct of combat assessment.
Description: The Assessment step, an intelligence function, of the Monitor, Assess, Plan, Engage loop places great importance on the need to assess the effects of an attack in order to determine the need for immediate re-attack. Effects-based operations (EBO) include the creation and assessment of intermediate as well as cascading effects in attaining the end-state objective derived from the commander's intent and guidance. These effects may be achieved through the application of kinetic (i.e., high explosive) and/or non-kinetic (e.g., cyber-warfare) weapons. Combat assessment in the context of EBO presents particular challenges in that simple physical destruction may no longer be the sole, meaningful indicator of attack effectiveness. Current assessment systems/practices were derived from past experience with aerial bombardment. There was a direct connection between the size and location of bomb craters and the damage inflicted on the target. The analyst conducting combat assessment in an effects-based operational context now requires innovative tools to assist in carrying out this function. Effects may be non-physical and may be intermediate to the achieving of the desired end-state. Research in cognitive (and, possibly, perceptual) process and in analyst-system interface is required to develop and demonstrate assessment tools appropriate to EBO. Cognitive tasks analyses, a component of a structured cognitive systems engineering process, are required to identify analyst requirements. Capability-based measures of effectiveness are required to support the evaluation of effects-based assessment performance. Assessment tools are required which will be demonstrated to satisfy the speed, accuracy, completeness and analyst confidence of these measures.
PHASE I: Identify and define opportunities for inserting intelligence analyst-aiding technologies appropriate to the conduct of combat assessment tasks in the context of effects-based operations.
PHASE II: Develop and demonstrate intelligence analyst-aiding capabilities for the conduct of effects-based combat assessment. Conduct an example of capability evaluation by applying appropriate capability-based measures of effectiveness.
DUAL USE COMMERCIALIZATION: Military application: Commercialization of this research is highly feasible especially to the military intelligence, homeland security and homeland defense communities. Commercial application: Commercialization of this research is highly feasible. Similar tools to those to be expected to result from this research can be expected to have application to market research, public opinion polling, and consumer advertising campaign assessment.
This report uses Defense Manpower Data Center data on Army enlisted personnel to examine whether the Department of Defense's Voluntary Separation Incentive or the Special Separation Bonus (VSI/SSB) program induced substantial separations and whether the program induced more low-quality than high-quality personnel to leave. The analysis suggests that a separation-pay program such as VSI/SSB can be an effective means of inducing separations over and above what would have occurred without such a program.
This report summarizes the results of a project that studied ways in which distance learning (DL) technologies could be employed to enhance Army personnel readiness.
Over the past decade, numerous observers have expressed concerns about "increased tempo" and overseas deployments. This report suggests that the major focus of Army concern about deployments should probably not be on the amount of time that individual soldiers spend overseas (although that should be monitored), but on overall force management, to evenly distribute the burden, minimize short-term readiness impacts, and ensure that longer-term skill development and warfighting capability are sustained.
Effects-based operations (EBO) are defined for this report as operations conceived and planned in a systems framework that considers the full range of direct, indirect, and cascading effects--effects that may, with different degrees of probability, be achieved by the application of military, diplomatic, psychological, and economic instruments. The report suggests principles for sharpening discussions of EBO, for increasing the rigor of those discussions, and for building the key ideas of EBO into analysis for defense planning, experimentation, and operations planning. It then illustrates the principles with explicit models. Finally, it sketches a possible research program to enrich the base for studying and practicing EBO.
This report assesses technologies, tactics, and operational concepts being considered for future Army rapid-reaction forces, with a focus on their application to small-scale contingencies.
In an era of new military missions, of repositioning and reduction of forces, and a heightened pace of deployments, the question arises whether today's Army combat leaders have had fewer opportunities to develop tactical skills. This report explores whether between 1990 and 1998 the tenure of key developmental assignments for infantry and armor officers became shorter; the tactical training during those assignments declined significantly; and earlier shifts in career patterns and training meant that such recent officers arrived in key positions with less experience than earlier generations of officers.
This report examines the views of India and Pakistan on the significance of Pakistan's foray into the Kargil-Dras sector in a limited war that has come to be known as the "Kargil conflict." The analysis evaluates the possibilities of future Kargil-like events and the implications of the lessons each country learned for stability in South Asia.
This report discusses how U.S. capabilities for interdicting invading ground forces in the Persian Gulf can be adapted over time to maintain the ability to achieve an "early halt" or to counter maneuver forces in other plausible campaigns.
Over the years, the United States has mounted both overt and covert operations to kill enemy leaders directly or to secure their overthrow either by indigenous coup or rebellion or by external invasion and takedown. This report analyzes some two dozen cases of attacks on leadership from World War II to the present and provides policy and operational lessons about the comparative efficacy and prerequisites for success of different forms of attack, their potential coercive and deterrent value, and the possible unintended consequences of their ill-considered use.
The Army has a growing need to collaborate and partner with industry. This report describes three nontraditional approaches to that goal: (1) forming real-estate public-private partnerships (PPPs), (2)using Army venture capital mechanisms as a research and development funding and collaborating tool, and (3) spinning-off Army activities into federal government corporations (FGCs). The research shows that while the three concepts appear promising, each requires resolution of key issues before it can be seriously considered for implementation.
An assessment of the manner in which the services have altered their planning, programming, and budgeting processes in response to the changes brought about by the 1986 Goldwater-Nichols legislation.
This report is the first of three on the public South Korean debate over dealings with North Korea. The focus of all three reports is on the period since March 1998, when Kim Dae Jung became the first leader of South Korea's political opposition ever to be elected president of the country, and on the major actors, interests, and goals influencing South Korean policies.
This work describes space weapons, how they would work, and how they might be used, as well as how any nation might decide to acquire them and how other nations might react.
In the Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf conflict, special operations forces (SOF) conducted reconnaissance operations to locate hidden targets when political and other considerations prevented the deployment of conventional ground units and air power alone was unable to locate and eliminate elusive objectives. There are a number of implications for future operations. This report finds that special operations forces can be effective where conventional ground units and air power alone cannot locate elusive or hidden ground targets, but that there are limitations.
This report assesses how Jet Engine Intermediate Maintenance shops can best be configured to support Expeditionary Aerospace Forces both in peacetime and in war.
In response to the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, President Bush put in place a new organizational structure for ensuring the security of the American homeland, creating the Office of Homeland Security. This issue paper discusses the critical issues involved in designing the homeland security organization and in achieving its goals.
This issue paper provides an evaluation of how well selected military capabilities will perform in future conflicts. Primarily, it seeks to address the question, "What capabilities are essential for the future, and how should they be prioritized?" bringing to bear empirical analysis based on sophisticated modeling and simulation recently carried out by RAND researchers. In particular, using a scenario based on experiences in Operation Allied Force in Kosovo in 1999, researchers evaluate how three prioritizations of capabilities might play out in a similar small-scale contingency (SSC) in the 2015 timeframe.
This documented briefing explores and assesses the Army's ability to insert mechanized forces in enemy-controlled terrain.
This conference proceeding presents a summary of a December 2001 working conference, sponsored by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Attending were emergency workers who responded to the bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the anthrax incidents that occurred during autumn 2001. The conference proceeding addresses the equipment, training and information required to protect emergency responders as they meet the challenge of protecting their communities.

City firm on HPBS before year ends
By Julianne Suarez on April 10, 2019
The local government eyes to start implementing the High Priority Bus System (HPBS) before the year ends, a city official said.
The implementation of the HPBS was among the highlights in the launching of the Davao City Transport Roadmap on Monday at the Sangguniang Panlungsod building.
"We in the local government will strive to start the operation of HPBS before this year ends even to one or two routes in the city," Assistant City Administrator Atty. Dwight Domingo told reporters.
"This is a major transition in our city's transport system where we shift from jeepneys to buses."
This major transport upgrade, according to Domingo, will give Dabawenyos the service it deserves "such as they will no longer be late because of transportation issues, security and cleanliness of vehicles, and all day round availability of buses.
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) also expressed its support to the plans of the city in its transport system through financial aid.
"The DOTr forged a MOA with the city government that we will be downloading an amount of P50 million for the Transport Masterplan and P200 million for a social support and livelihood project to with the launching of the project," DOTr Assistant Sec. Eymard Eje said.
The city will craft a transport masterplan that will include studies that dates back to 2011 after it consolidated comments and suggestions on the roadmap exhibit.
The city held an exhibit showcasing the said roadmap that will run from April 8 to April 17 to consult the public on the traffic and transport issues.
"We welcome any comment or suggestions on our current traffic situation or the roadmap we presented. In this way, we may study if we will include or implement their suggestions," Domingo said.

On arrival at Mumbai Airport, meet and greet by our representative and he transfer you to the hotel in Mumbai. Check in and refreshed. When you are ready your driver will take you to roam around Mumai called India's 'City of Dreams'.
Mumbai, formerly Bombay, remains as India's city of dreams. Mumbai is one of the best-protected natural harbours in the world and is India's strategic economic centre. Mumbai is also the home to the country's prolific film industry called Bollywood which produces feature films than any place in the world. Visiting local attractions includes Sidhi Vinayak, Maha Laxmi Temple, Marrine Drive, gateway of India, VT Station and much more depends on your time.
After your delicious breakfast we transfer you to Nashik to visit Tryambkeshwar Shiva temple (One of the 12 jyotirlinga). Check in to the hotel on reaching, get refreshed and relax with own activities. Overnight in Nashik.
The ancient Tryambakeswar temple is located near the source (Brahmagiri Mountain) of Godavari River, the longest river in Indian sub continent. Trimbakeshwar Temple in Nashik is revered as one of the 12 Jyotirlinga shrines of Lord Shiva and as the source of the river Godavari. Just as sacred river Ganga, Godavari is also known as Gautami Ganga and is one of the most sacred rivers in Southern India.
Morning go for Darshan in Trimbakeshwar Shiva Temple. After that head to local temples & city sightseeing – Visit Kalaram- Goraram, Panchvati, Muktidham. Afternoon enjoy a 2 hours drive to Shirdi for Saibaba Darsan, which is 100 K.Ms away. On arrival there check in to the pre booked hotel.
Shirdi is famous for the temple of Shri Sai Baba, houses the last remains of Sai Baba.
This religious place holds immense reverence for Sai Baba's devotees from all across the world. The temple is the central point of the Shirdi pilgrimage and you can witness people stand in long queues to catch a glimpse of Sai Baba's mortal remains.
Early morning after breakfast proceed to Saibaba Darshan. Later we drive to Aurangabad called the 'City of Gates'. Here the attractins are Ajanta caves & Paintings, ellora Caves & Kailasanatha Temple, Buddist Caves, Jain Caves and Hindu Caves.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the first Buddhist cave monuments dates from the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. During the Gupta period (5th and 6th centuries A.D.), many more richly decorated caves were added to the original group. The paintings and sculptures of Ajanta, considered masterpieces of Buddhist religious art, have had a considerable artistic influence. The Ajanta site cut into the side of a cliff which rises above a meander in the Waghora River. Out of these, five (cave no. 9, 10, 19, 26, and 29) are chaityagrihas and the rest are viharas. These caves are datable to the pre-Christian era, the earliest among them being Cave 10 dating from the second century B.C. The object of worship is a stupa here and these caves exhibit the imitation of wooden construction to the extent that the rafters and beams are also sculpted even though they are non-functional.
The caves 1 to 12 are made for Buddhism, built during 550-750 AD. These caves are adorned with striking sculptures and murals of Lord Buddha. The cave number 12 is a significant here known for its three stories structure.
The caves 13 to 29 are made for Hinduism, built during 600-875 AD. These caves are completely filled with sculpture of "Apsaras" (beautiful woman), gods and goddesses. Cave number 16 should not be missed as it has a Kailash temple which is known to be the largest monolith structure of the world.
After passing through the Hindu caves, there comes the Jain caves (from 30-34) built between 800 AD and 1000 AD. These caves even comprise of various images of lord and mythological paintings.
Please Note: Ajanta Caves are closed on Mondays, Ellora Caves are closed on Tuesdays.
Today after breakfast we transfer you to the airport for your flight to Mumbai. You may continue with your flight to the next destination or if you want to get transferred to a hotel in Mumbai, our driver and room will be made available to you on your arrival Mumbai.


It is no surprise that steel roofs are the most common choice for roofing in Australia. Steel is the perfect product. It's durable and versatile, and lends itself perfectly to Australia's climate. Steel is fire resistant and rarely damaged by hail. But most of all, it looks magnificent.
Unlike roof tiles, metal roofs come in a number of shades. The Colorbond colour schemes available will lift the kerb appeal of your house and that's one of the reasons why a new roof can add up to 40% to the value of your home.
Colorbond's colour scheme has 22 colours – 14 contemporary and 8 classic. As the category name suggests, the classic colours tend to suit older style homes, whereas the contemporary colours can really add the wow factor to newer properties.
It's a decision you'll want to get right, after all beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Choose something that's a bit out there and, whilst you might adore it yourself, you could be left in twenty years' time wondering why your house won't sell. Fortunately, part of the service O'Boyles offer is to help you through the minefield of Colorbond's colour schemes and help you make that all-important decision.
Whilst Colorbond roofing is thermally efficient, the colour you choose could save you in cooling costs, believe it or not. In the same way that darker clothes absorb more heat in the sun, so too to darker roofs. So opt for a lighter colour and you could have a positive impact on the cost of cooling your home over summer.
And then of course you should consider your surroundings. Those with seaside properties tend to opt for colours with a hint of blue to reflect their surroundings, whereas those in the city tend to have roofs that are understated and disappear into the background, and those in the country might opt for more colourful roofs to match the flora and fauna.
Each shade in Colorbond's colour scheme is shown on our website and links to a picture of a property with that colour roof. Try it, it's a good way to consider how others have taken advantage of the choice.

A friend or neighbor has brought the bugs into your home. Remember that these critters can live in linen and clothing, so they could easily hitch a ride and make a permanent stop in your dwelling.
Have you purchased second handed furniture? Again, these critters can live and thrive, within furniture and linen. If you purchase a piece of furniture from an infested home, there is a high probability that your home will also become infested.
Bed bugs can easily take up shelter within your old belongings. If you have old clothing sitting around in your attic or garage, you will likely find bed bugs there!

You should also look for the other identifying signs of bed bugs, brown excrement marks. When these bugs feast on bug, they'll leave behind excrement. If you find small lumps of a brown substance, your likelihood of an infestation is elevated.
Bed bugs can leave behind a hideous odor. If your bedroom is beginning to reek, the bugs might be the underlying cause.

Wood Mackenzie, a global natural resources consultancy says oil and gas companies will move into 2018 in their best shape for the first time at least since the collapse of oil prices with so many of them focusing on demonstrating they can thrive in a low price environment.
In their outlook, the team said they forecast a third successive increase in project sanctions from the 2015 low, another indicator according to them that recovery is under way, saying they expect the number of major project sanctions to increase from just over 20 in 2017 to 25 in 2018, as operators, says Wood's team, take advantage of what may represent their best chance to lock in rock-bottom costs.
"The rise in project sanctions will be a clear sign that new projects can work in a low-price environment. Oil and gas companies will continue to adapt portfolios to perform at high and low prices and also to provide a platform for longer-term energy transition", Ellacott said.
They are also of the opinion that business developers will look to capture prime discovered resource opportunities, with expectation that Iran and the United Arab Emirates may award at least 10 billion boe of discovered resources next year. In Latin America where they say a lot of interesting things will take place, about 10 billion boe of deepwater resources in Brazil alone are likely to be auctioned.
So companies will need to find the right formula they said to win back investors after the poor stock market performance of 2017. Demonstrating that free cash flow can grow in a low-price environment and fund higher shareholder distributions will be a core focus. Maintaining that companies must also build a compelling case for long-term investment. This they say may not happen in one year, but they will need to show clear progress in 2018.

Cornelius Mahoney "Neil" Sheehan (1936- ) is a journalist best known for his reporting on the Pentagon Papers, a secret Department of Defense study of the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Sheehan, when working as a reporter for The New York Times in 1971, obtained the classified documents from Daniel Ellsberg, a military analyst employed by the RAND Corporation. The papers revealed that the U.S. had secretly enlarged the scale of the Vietnam War with the bombings of nearby Cambodia and Laos, and coastal raids on North Vietnam, none of which were reported in the mainstream media. The government attempted to prosecute Ellsberg but the charges were later dropped. In 2011, the Pentagon Papers were declassified and publicly released.
Sheehan published other articles and books on the Vietnam War, including the 1988 book, A Bright Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam. It won the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction and the National Book Award for Nonfiction.
