Data Privacy Day: Why we should learn to be sensitive, responsible for our digital privacy and how 'Privacy Matters'
Data privacy is not the same thing as data security, although the two are closely connected and interdependant. Let's understand the difference -- data security is like putting steel bars on windows to make it difficult for others to burglarize your home; whereas data privacy is more like pulling down the window shades so no one can look inside to see what you are wearing, who you are living with you, what you are cooking for the dinner, or what movie you are watching on the TV.

January 28 is observed globally as Data Privacy Day
For about a decade now, January 28 is observed globally as Data Privacy Day. It was consensually conceptualized and given almost a statutory status by the industry and nations worldwide with an objective to sensitize individuals and popularize privacy principles and practices. It encourages everyone to own their privacy responsibilities to create a culture of privacy. The theme for this year is 'Privacy Matters'.
When we check email, catch the news, check stock prices, and so many other ways we are regularly using technology to manage our personal and work affairs. And whenever and wherever we use technology, the privacy of our data is at risk.
Yet, most of us are guilty of being complacent when it comes to safeguarding our most personal information from unseen but prying eyes. Many people even do not understand the difference between data security and data privacy, which may be the reason why most people are slack about data privacy.
What is data privacy?
Data privacy is not the same thing as data security, although the two are closely connected and interdependent. Let's understand the difference -- data security is like putting steel bars on windows to make it difficult for others to burglarize your home; whereas data privacy is more like pulling down the window shades so no one can look inside to see what you are wearing, who you are living with, what you are cooking for the dinner, or what movie you are watching on the TV.
While data protection is a macro level operation taken care of by organizations and governments, data privacy is every individual's sole responsibility. No one other than you suffers when it is breached.
Experts say: As the line between our offline and online lives continues to blur, Data Privacy Day on January 28 is the little nudge we need at the beginning of each new year to make safeguarding our personal information a priority.
We live in an increasingly digital world, however, most of us give little thought to data privacy until after our personal data has been compromised. Our increased reliance on digital technologies to manage every facet of life necessitates the need to rethink what we share about ourselves, when and where we share it, and who we are sharing it with. Data Privacy Day is part of the global online safety, security, and privacy campaign called 'STOP. THINK. CONNECT.', — an initiative being propogated by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) of the USA and The Council of Europe since 2009.
Why privacy matters?
The need for data privacy is no strange idea to the digital age. Our personal information has been at risk ever since we learnt to use technology for various aspects of life. Most of us are aware that personal data is collected, manipulated, and shared or sold, then manipulated further for profit by banking institutions, product manufacturers, political parties, non-profit organizations, ad agencies, polling groups, airlines, grocery stores, credit agencies, and various other entities that seek to profit from it.
The very same digital technologies have made the collection of personal data easier, both legally and illegally. And with over 5 billion people in the world actively using internet today, around 800 millions in India, there is an incalculable amount of unsecured data waiting to be pilfered. When your data is manipulated, you are at a serious risk in more ways than one -- monetary, social, or physical.
Says Ranjan Reddy, founder and CEO of Bureau, an identity verification and fraud protection platform that helps businesses screen potential frauds: The Data Privacy Day is a great opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate that digital trust is being transformed, with participation from all stakeholders. We must adopt a stronger legal framework which protects customers and at the same time must include non-personal information as well in the ambit of the law. Online trust and safety is the single biggest victim in an ever-growing world of opportunity the internet bestows us all with. In 2021, there were 5 major data breaches, ranking India as the third-largest victim of growing cyberattacks. Over 150 million users were impacted, whose private data now floats in the internet ether, leaving them vulnerable to the rapidly increasing menace of cyber fraud, and online theft.
Consumers are demanding accountability and control of their digital privacy. Companies need to and are investing heavily in data security, and data privacy infrastructure. As our online and offline lives merge, we prioritise convenience. This convenience should not come at a cost."
Akshat Jain, co-founder and CTO, Cyware, says: "As we increasingly blur the line between our online and offline lives, Data Privacy Day is the little reminder we need at the start of each new year to ensure our personal information is protected. Even though we live in a digital world, we are often not fully cognizant of data privacy until our data has been compromised.
Data is one of the most important assets for organizations. Thus, data privacy and security take center stage in their cybersecurity strategy. To enable seamless business recovery and develop a safe post-Covid data-centric economy, organizations need to move beyond just basic compliance measures to achieve continuous situational awareness for faster threat detection and response.
This year's Data Privacy Day should serve as a catalyst in the fight against rising cyber threats and bring greater attention toward protecting the critical data of businesses. Collaborative cyber defense, threat intelligence sharing, and data protection strategies must be leveraged to empower governments and private organizations in mitigating cyberattacks.
More emphasis should be placed on implementing secure authentication mechanisms to minimize the risk of credential compromise, while ensuring secure and easy access for all stakeholders.
Especially in the age of the work-from-anywhere economy, business leaders should realign their security priorities to manage risks affecting sensitive information. In order to guarantee a seamless flow of data from endpoints to cloud-based services and data centers, it is becoming more important to protect the data in transit as well. Crucial business data in India can be protected through investment in the modernisation of security infrastructure, using secured collaboration and
information-sharing platforms, leveraging threat intelligence for proactive cyber defense, using security orchestration and automation (SOAR) to streamline SecOps, and performing periodic security and risk assessments. Individuals must take control of their digital footprints and privacy as we continue to telecommute in 2022. Moving forward, cyber situational awareness and hygiene will continue to play a key role as one of the pillars of data privacy."
What needs to be done?
We as end-users on the technology spectrum, hardly pay attention to data privacy beyond knowing not to share our passwords with others. We trust software and data services providers to be the guardians of the personal data they collect and require from us in exchange for the right to use their products and services. But the personal information collected by companies today is not regarded as private by default, of course, with few exceptions.
Those who have access to our personal data do not actually need it. These digital strangers with legitimate access to our personal data are the very people we should be preventing from accessing our personal information because they do not need it for any legitimate purpose. Data Privacy Day should be an important wake-up call for anyone who is 'on the grid,' meaning, using any type of digital device for any purpose, and is in the belief that spam software and firewalls are keeping his or personal data safe.
Peter Waters, Chief Privacy Officer, Equinix, an American digital infrastructure MNC that specializes in internet connection and data centers, says: "In recent years, data privacy compliance has become a critical consideration driving critical business decisions as companies look to digitally transform. Cybersecurity vulnerabilities continue to increase as companies grow their digital footprints due to the massive amounts of data being generated. The Data Privacy Day comes as a reminder for organizations to assess their cyber risks and ensure strong data privacy protections are in place but in such a way that will not impede innovation within the digital economy. Due to the increasing complexity of data flows, enterprises need to evolve past securing data at rest to a posture of continuous governance where all data is protected.
Increasingly, we are seeing enterprises place, manage and analyze data at the edge, closer to their users, services and clouds. Meanwhile, concerns over the security and privacy of data in movement and/or in the cloud have also increased. This situation is more critical in Asia-Pacific and has driven the need for better technology and infrastructure solutions that improve data accessibility, security and control, while also meeting increasing data privacy requirements. It is a balancing act.
At Equinix, we support many of the largest enterprises in the world. Through our Equinix Privacy Office, we proactively manage our own compliance with applicable new and evolving data privacy laws and seek to assist customers to do the same. Our data security practices and controls around our own global platform of systems and processes are robust. Our digital services like Network Edge and a rich set of security-focused partners in our ecosystem, which sets up these security services closer to the user to protect that data locally. Our goal is to embed the concept of privacy by design into new system deployments and business process improvements across various aspects of our business, as well as offer our clients systems and infrastructure they can rely on."

I got a new problem that the sidebar has disappeared in my Mac OS system few days ago and you may also get the same problem in Mac OS. I was surprised how did the sidebar has disappeared and want to fix it but cannot solve the problem. I thought to restart the system but the problem was same the Show Sidebar item under Finder View was grayed out. Here is the simple steps that may help you to bring the sidebar to your system.
Firstly goto the Finder Window and enable the toolbar.
After that you must go to the Library in your Home Folder and see for the preferences.
Find com.apple.finder.plist then drag it to the desktop.
After dragging this you must restart the system and see you must find the sidebar in your system.
You don't say in what OS you had this problem, but in OS 10.6.8 it is enough -- at least in my case -- just to show the Toolbar, then "Show Sidebar" is no longer grayed out. Not necessary to create a new com.apple.finder.plist file.

Zagreb School of Slavic Studies was founded on 14 January 1970, by the decree issued by the Council of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Studies. The first Seminar for Foreign Slavic Studies Students took place in Dubrovnik and Zagreb in 1972. From the outset, the Seminars of the Zagreb School of Slavic Studies were legally determined as an activity of the institution called the International Slavic Centre of FR Croatia. Today, Zagreb School of Slavic Studies (Croatian Seminar for Foreign Slavic Studies Students) is defined as a separate activity of the Department of the Croatian language and literature at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Studies in Zagreb. The School's participants are foreign Croatian and Slavic studies students, university professors who teach Croatian language and literature at foreign universities, experts in various topics who specialize in Croatian studies at different scientific institutions and translators from the Croatian language.
From 1972 till 1990 the School organized 19 Seminars in the duration of three weeks – the first two weeks were spent in Dubrovnik and the programme continued in Zagreb for another week. The practice of a two-week Seminar was introduced in 1991 when the 20th Seminar took place in Zagreb. From 1992 till 1998, from 21st to 27th Seminar, Seminars were organized in Pula. Since 1999 the town of Dubrovnik has once again been the host of the Seminar for Foreign Slavic Studies Students.
Professional Committee (formerly known as the School's Council or the Governing Council) is the body in charge of organizing, monitoring and supporting the School's activities. According to the Book of Statutes in force, the Professional Committee of the Zagreb School of Slavic Studies consists of seven members: the head of the School, deputy coordinator, programme assistant, the head of the Department of Croatian Studies and three more members of the Department.
The School's Seminars are organized by the head of the School and his associates who make the administration of the School. The first head of the School (or the director as he was called) was Franjo Grčević (1972–1981). He was succeeded by Mladen Kuzmanović who was the head of the School since 1982 till 1998 (as the assistant in 1972 and deputy director 1973-1981). Marko Samardžija, Krešimir Nemec and Ivo Pranjković were heads of the 28th Seminar (1999). Stipe Botica took over as the head of the School in 2000 and held the position until 2004. From 2005 till 2008, from 34th till 37th Seminar, the head of the Zagreb School of Slavic Studies was Krešimir Bagić. From 2009 till 2012, from 38th till 41st Seminar, the head of the Zagreb School of Slavic Studies was Krešimir Mićanović.
Zagreb School of Slavic Studies is a non-profit institution and its activities, primarily the organization of annual Seminars, is supported by sponsors. Long-standing main sponsors of the Zagreb School of Slavic Studies are the ministries of science, education and culture, today, namely, the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports and the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia. Another important sponsor is the City of Zagreb – City Office for Education, Culture and Sports. During the last few years the School is regularly sponsored by the Dubrovačko-neretvanska County and the City of Dubrovnik.
The School's activity is occasionally supported by various institutions and companies.
Zagreb School of Slavic Studies is organized and ran by professors from the Department of Croatian Studies at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Studies in Zagreb. The organizers of the lecture cycles, language instructors and lecturers at the Seminars are mostly professors form the Department of Croatian Studies. Also, many respected professors from other departments of the Zagreb Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as lecturers and scientists form the University of Zagreb and other Croatian (and foreign) universities and other cultural and scientific institutions participate in the activities of the Seminar, mainly as lecturers and language instructors.
The third way of participating in the Seminar is by one's own expense.
The programme of the Zagreb School of Slavic Studies generally consists of the tuition, language exercise courses and seminars (beginners course, conversational courses in three levels, seminars in Croatian literature, history and culture). Since 2005 Seminars include a translation workshop which purpose is to promote translations of Croatian literature into foreign languages. The Seminar hosts numerous lecturers and regularly organizes two cycles of thematic lectures – the first one dedicated to the Croatian language and the second one to the Croatian literature.
Since its very beginnings, the Zagreb School of Slavic Studies has put great effort in providing a high-quality and diverse cultural programme for its participants. The fact that the Seminar has been taking place in Croatian cultural capitals, Dubrovnik, Pula and Zagreb, provided many excellent cultural opportunities. The School aimed at becoming a multimedia centre (film screenings, theatrical performances, music nights, book exhibits etc.) and many artists participated in its programme (writers, actors, painters, directors, musicians). The School hosted and presented to its participants distinguished translators and scientists. A great number of literary works, professional books in linguistics, literary theory and art have been promoted at the Seminar.
Publishing is an important segment of the School's activity. During the 70s the School has published four proceedings which include lectures and papers delivered at the Seminars and since 2001 the proceedings have been published annually. Cymelia Croatica editon (1983–1990) includes reprints of old and rare books. Several books have been published in cooperation with other publishers. The School has published a series of programme leaflets accompanying each Seminar's programme, and, among other things, a series of catalogues accompanying the performances of artists who participated in the Seminar (Sources for the Portrait of an Artist). An ambitious project of anthologising Croatian literature has resulted in three published anthologies: Utjeha kaosa: antologija suvremenog hrvatskog pjesništva (2006, electronic edition 2008), Odbrojavanje: antologija suvremene hrvatske drame (2007), Tko govori, tko piše: antologija suvremene hrvatske proze (2008). In the period 2010–2012 three essay collections were published, each aiming at the articulation of contemporary outlooks on the three main genres in Croatian literature: Muzama iza leđa: čitanje hrvatske lirike (2010), Priučen na tumačenje: deset čitanja (2011), Vila–kiklop–kauboj: čitanja hrvatske proze (2012).
For the efforts in promoting Croatian language, literature and culture, Zagreb School of Slavic Studies has been awarded with the City of Zagreb Award (1985, 2011), the City of Dubrovnik Award (1991) as well as the Charter of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Studies in Zagreb (1991).


This paper presents a detailed structural reliability procedure in order to achieve an acceptable safety margin for template type offshore platforms located in the Persian Gulf. Probability of failure in this study is calculated by considering the cumulative effects of all levels of wave loading during the lifetime of the structure and uncertainties associated with soil, material properties, connection strength and environmental conditions in the reliability analysis. For this purpose, the conditional probability of failures is computed for different levels of wave loading and then converted to the rate of failure by applying the total probability theorem.
Annual explicit probability of failure is then computed by using probability distribution of wave heights in the Persian Gulf region. The calculated probability of failure is also compared with Reserve Strength Ratio of the platform considering different failure modes. The results show that RSR may not indicate a unique safety margin for assessing the existing platform in the Persian Gulf and carrying out a reliability analysis may help to overcome this deficiency.


I have been involved with QR Codes since working with Comedian and musician Bill Bailey on an idea he had for integrating barcodes into his Tinselworm tour in late summer 2007. Since then I have greatly expanded my knowledge base on QR code technology. I have created a product called a CyberLogo which is a specifically designed Customised QR Code. I am a valued consultant on QR technology with Edinburgh's Napier University.
If you would like to know more about QR codes, how to use them within your marketing or how you can engage the new mobile generation get in touch. I have worked and am currently working on many projects involving this new technology.
Make no mistake, the future of communication is going mobile.
Here is a very recent example of the CyberLogo that I created for T3 Gadget Magazine. The code has inbuilt tracking which allows me to see the activity of when, where, what software, what smartphone the peson was using when scanning it.

Cotton Throws Two Touchdown Passes In Second Half, Runs For A Third As DeSmet Rallies To Defeat Edwardsville 44-17 In Season Opener
Colin Feeney and Dan Brannan
August 28 2021 7:08 AM | updated August 28 2021 9:25 AM
CREVE COUER, Mo. - Junior transfer quarterback Chris Cotton tossed a pair of touchdown passes to Gavin Bomstad in the second half, then ran for another touchdown that helped put the game away as DeSmet Jesuit defeated Edwardsville 44-17 in a season-opening blockbuster game Friday night at DeSmet's field.
The Tigers were ranked number four in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's large school preseason poll, while the Spartans were second-ranked, with the Tigers taking a 17-14 lead at halftime. DeSmet scored 30 unanswered points in the second half to win.
The Spartans jumped out to an early 14-0 lead, scoring on its first possession when Keyshawn Ford scored from two yards out after being set up by a pair of Allen Mitchell runs, then Mitchell scored from one yard out on the next possession to take their 14-0 lead.
The Tigers bounced back, with sophomore quarterback Jake Curry going 41 yards on a keeper, then hitting Beau Brandt with a 12-yard pass on the first play of the second quarter to halve the lead to 14-7. Edwardsville then took advantage of a bad snap on a Spartan punt, with Curry hitting freshman receive Iose Epenesa with a 10-yard pass, then scored himself from a yard out to tie the game at 14-14.
Near the end of the first half, Edwardsville got the ball back after holding the Spartans on downs, and drove down the field, with Curry making good plays. The drive stalled out and Gavin Walls hit on a 24-yard field goal to give the Tigers a 17-14 lead at the half.
The third quarter started very promisingly for Edwardsville, but an interception by Christian Gray helped set up a Luke Rothermich 35-yard field goal to tie the game at 17-17. Cotton, a transfer from Trinity Catholic High School after the school closed this spring, then connected on his two touchdown passes to Bomstad, the first from 56 yards that gave DeSmet the lead 24-17 after the third quarter, and from 62 yards early in the fourth that gave the Spartans a 31-17 lead.
DeSmet wrapped it up on touchdown runs of 43 yards by Reed and 53 yards by Cotton to give the Spartans their 44-17 win. For the game, Cotton passed for 183 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for 87 yards and another touchdown. Ford ran for 77 yards and two scores, while Bomstad caught three passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns.

Curry passed for 89 yards and a touchdown for Edwardsville, and also ran for another 74 yards.
The Spartans start the season 1-0 and will play at East St. Louis in the Flyers' home opener next Friday night, while the Tigers are 0-1 and travel to Highland for another big game next Friday. DeSmet and East Side kick off at 6 p.m., while the Tigers and Bulldogs get started at 7 p.m.

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones.
The sequence appears in many settings in mathematics and in other sciences. In particular, the shape of many naturally occurring biological organisms is governed by the Fibonacci sequence and its close relative, the golden ratio.
David Macdonald, aka aSongScout, decided to see what it would sound like as music.

Englishtown Flea Market
Sunday, August 19th, 2007 | All Things, Family
We hit the road early Sunday for the Englishtown Auction – known more commonly as the Englishtown Flea Market – which without traffic, is just an hour's drive from the city.
The family-owned and run market dates back to 1929, when the grounds serves as a meeting place for farmers to buy, trade and sell livestock, farm equipment and produce. Englishtown Auction continues to operate year-round, rain or shine, on Saturdays and Sundays. By 9AM, the parking lots were already filling with cars; we opted to pay the $3 premium for a spot in the lot directly across the street from the main entrance.
Forty acres of open-air field were divided along rows with names like "Canal Street," "Times Square," and "Fifth Avenue." The ambience was a mix of tag sale, Jersey Fresh farmers market and one of the less-exciting NYC street fairs with its fried foods — even a BBQ truck! — cotton tube socks, cell phone accessories, rugs and brassieres. Five larger buildings (identified by color: brown, yellow, red, blue and green) housed up to 300 additional merchandise and food vendors, though the booths this morning were only half full.
It all felt very familiar somehow.
A fine change of pace for a Sunday morning, but the fact that this was voted best flea market in New Jersey — 8 years in a row! — made us wonder about the competition. Largest, very likely… but best?

Back to the buffet
Saturday, August 18th, 2007 | All Things, Eats, Family
Oof. How did we end up back here so soon?
Note: "Sushi is meant to be eaten with the rice. There will be an extra charge for leftover sushi rice." Growing up, I recall sushi being less widely available, and hence, more expensive: all-you-can-eat was an astounding concept, and articles were written about how diners would try to game the system by just eating the pricey fish and hiding their sushi rice in the darnedest places, so as to maximize the value of their buffet tabs: tucked into napkins, slipped into pockets, discreetly dropped onto the floor under the table, hidden under dinner plates. Bathroom attendants at the end of the night would find the wastebaskets overflowing with discarded vinegared rice pellets.
Unethical diners? Somehow, it does not surprise me at all.
Jersey Shore — part 2
Sunday, July 15th, 2007 | All Things, Eats, Family, Travel
Is Cape May the new Cape Cod? I remember how entranced we all were by the New England seaside resort the first time we visited… enough to commit to the destination as a family Labor Day weekend tradition. Some 20+ years later, though, some of us seemed ready to be lured away by someplace new.
A couple hours closer to New York City, and not yet victim to the contempt bred by familiarity, Cape May seemed like just the place. Once the fashionable resort for upper-middle class Philadelphians and Trentonites, it boasts a quaint small-town feel, pristine beaches, and streets lined with charming, well-preserved Victorian houses — the second largest concentration of such houses outside of San Francisco.
While Mom and Dad explored the area's abundant antique shops, I toured the 18-room mansion of the late 19th-century Emlen Physick Estate — the year-round home of a nonpracticing Philadelphia-born physician. Physick came into his considerable inheritance, having fulfilled his father's condition of attending medical school (at UPenn), but declined a medical career for the leisurely life of a country gentleman in Cape May, without ever treating a single patient.
It seems the elder Physick should have been more specific with his last wishes. The intent, no doubt, was to continue the family's revered tradition in medicine through his son. Emlen's paternal grandfather, Dr. Philip Syng Physick, was an accomplished and prominent Philadelphia physician, and considered by many to be the "Father of American Surgery."

When it comes to outfitting my 2012 Oscar Mike edition Jeep Wrangler, I'm an accessories fanatic. When I hit the sheets at night, I don't dream of sheep, or unicorns, or cuddly puppies. I dream about an Injen deep water snorkel install, or a brand new set of Barricade rivet style flare fenders, or a Garvin Expedition roof rack. I see me behind the wheel of the Jeep, traversing some mud-covered backwoods trail with brand new 40" Mickey Thompson Baja MTZP3 mud terrain tires (mudders) that cost me more than the monthly mortgage. I see a state-of-the-art Magellan eXplorist TRX7 off-road GPS navigation system mounted above the dash and even a Condition Zero center console pistol mount for my Colt .45 Model 1911. I dream about a new soft top and RedRock grille inserts and expensive wheel kits to replace the standard ones I currently use.
But then, these are the glory accessories. The expensive, not-necessarily-required-for-the-four-wheeling-off-road-Jeep-experience gadgets. At the same time, these are useful tools that provide a specific degree of utility, but they are also the tools that look good, feel good, and admittedly, lighten your bank account. They are the accoutrements that turn heads while pulling into the mega-mart parking lot, and that become the envy of your off-road meetup group.
But what about the unsung heroes of the Jeep accessory world? The stuff that isn't necessarily glamorous when installed and/or stored in your Jeep, but that you absolutely must have if you're going to venture out into the wild? Recently, the editors at MudTribe.com asked me to come up with the ten most underrated off-road Jeep accessories out there on the market today. Sure I have my own strong opinions on the matter, but in the interest of comprehensiveness, I approached as many Jeep enthusiasts I could muster up and posed the question, "What accessories can you absolutely not survive without?" I also consulted with publications as varied as Popular Mechanics and Outsideonline.com. In the end, this is the final list I came up with.
Shovel. That's right, your basic shovel. I prefer the military variety that folds in on itself and that you can carry on your rear tire tool mount. Trust me, you play in the mud, you're gonna eventually have to dig yourself and your Jeep out of it.
The winch. The addition of this accessory is debatable due to its cost, its weight (hard on the gas mileage), and its relative danger in the hands of the inexperienced off-roadster (watch out for cut off digits), but let's face it, you will get stuck. Get a winch.
Tire changing kit. Most Jeeps come with these tools as a standard accessories, including a wheel lug wrench and a spare tire jack handle. But for my money, I would invest in a roadside emergency repair kit that includes a booster cable, carbon steel cross wrench, emergency lamp with strobe function, insulation tape, and more.
Duct tape. What more need be said?
Don't let a whiny friend ruin a trip… With enough duct tape, there's no problem that can't be solved!
Automatic tire deflator. Negotiating sand and/or rock means deflating your tires from the street savvy 30 psi to 15 psi or less. An automatic tire deflator screws onto the valve stem and removes as much or as little air as you want. Easy peasy.
Heavy Duty Direct Drive Tire Inflator. It only makes sense that if your tires are deflated for off-road action, they're going to require inflation when you finally get back to on-road reality. A small, portable compressor can be powered by your Jeep battery or another 12 volt source.
Cable hoist or come along. Take it from one who knoweth, keep one of these in your onboard tool box. While 4-wheeling in the rugged hills surrounding Chianti in beautiful, central Italy, my buddy and I buried his Jeep in mud. He didn't have a winch handy, but he did have the less romantic version of the winch on hand—the come along. It took some time and manpower, but we freed the Jeep and soon were enjoying some red wine and roast pork sandwiches in a nearby village.
First aid kit. The one sponsored by Jeep actually attaches to your roll bar. It contains everything from Ibuprofen, to Band-Aids, to the equipment you'll need to suture a laceration, including medical scissors, stitching material, and surgical tape. Don't leave home without it.
Zip ties. Yup, you read it right. Zip ties. In fact, zip ties are so popular, I should chuck this writing thing and start a zip tie factory. The 10" variety are the most useful. They can be used for everything from holding engine components together, especially hoses, to hanging packs and bags from the roll bar. I currently use zip ties to consolidate my unplugged electrical wires and conduits after removing the hardtop.
Repurposed ammo boxes. Mine used to hold .50 caliber rounds including tracers. But now they hold all sorts of small tools and accessories like screwdrivers, wrenches, electrical tape, flashlights, batteries, and more. They're rough and ready, hold a ton of stuff, and they look cool as hell. Use a bicycle lock to secure them to the Jeep interior when the top is off.
Okay, this list is not exhaustive by any means. Other popular non-glam accessories include pliers, mallets, fire extinguisher, basic tool kit, socket wrench set, walkie-talkies, flashlights, freeze dried food pouches, spare batteries, fire making equipment, and additional Geri cans for extra water and fuel. Listen, when it comes to outfitting your Jeep with underrated accessories that are purely utilitarian in nature and that might even save your life one day, there is no right or wrong choice. There is only careful planning.

Achtung Metal! Dutch old school death metal combo Hail of Bullets will be releasing their third studio album called "III: The Rommel Chronicles" at the end of October 2013. This album sees the band approaching things a bit differently lyric wise. Instead of describing a certain campaign or theatre of war, this album focuses on the military life, rise and fall of German field marshal Erwin Rommel. Despite fighting on the wrong side, Rommel was undeniably a great strategist who was both feared and admired by his enemies. Music wise this album slightly harks back to the debut album "…Of Frost And War". The songs are faster, rawer, more aggressive and direct than on their second studio album "On Divine Winds" which had a more epic, heroic feel.
Leuk om hier een stukje over HOB te lezen, fantastische band!


Leave your response as a comment on this post by the beginning of class on January 24. Remember, it only needs to be three or four sentences. For these weekly questions, I'm mainly interested in your opinions, not so much particular "facts" from the class!
One conventional piece of wisdom is that buying and using a space heater is more cost effective than using a built-in heating system for a single room. I would test this by comparing the amount of electricity a space heater uses to keep a single room at a constant temperature for a certain amount of time, determining the cost of this electricity, and comparing it with the cost of the materials used by other heating methods (full-house electric, gas heating, ect.) over that amount of time. I could then perform this experiment many different times with different room sizes, temperatures, and time intervals.
Kobe Bryant is one of the most clutch players in basketball history. I would go about this by collecting some very important stats of his in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter of close games as well as any overtime statistics. These stats could include points, assists, rebounds, field goal percentage, turnovers. I would compare these numbers to other all time great players and see if he truly lies near the top of the elite.
People generally think that higher degrees mean higher incomes, which technically means that if you have a Master's degree, you're likely to earn more than someone who has a Bachelor's degree. I would test this by comparing the average salary of people, in a chosen field, who have a Bachelor's degree versus people in that same field who have higher degrees (Master's and PhD). We can perform this comparison on multiple fields and see if there's a pattern that supports this conventional wisdom or if it varies across different fields.
Are you confident this has never been tested? I feel as though it has been proved, and would therefore not be conventional wisdom.
An example of conventional wisdom within the business field is that work should be conducted between the hours of 9 and 5. I feel as though this statement has become generalized and universally accepted without the productivity of employees in this type of setting ever being measured versus employees in other settings. With technology constantly being enhanced and a work-life balance becoming much more appreciated, it is no longer essential for employees to work the typical 40-hour work week or even report to the office, as they can potentially be just as productive remotely and on their own time, depending on their daily responsibilities. This would offer employees flexibility in merging their business and personal life. To test the accuracy of the conventional wisdom that business should be conducted between the hours of 9 and 5, I would collect data of the productivity (i.e. calls/hour, or some other measure), and compare it with the productivity of employees working in other, more flexible practices. I hypothesize there would not be much difference, or that workers in flexible practices are even more productive.
An example of conventional wisdom that I've heard is that movie theater attendance drops significantly in the months following the holiday season (usually January to early March). A lot of major film corporations schedule their movie releases in order to avoid these months. I would collect box office information over the past few years from several different movie theaters across the country that included: overall attendance per month and which films had the highest recorded attendance throughout the year. It would be interesting to see if movie attendance actually drops, as well as to determine if a causation developed in recent years: does attendance drop because there are no highly-rated movies being released or do corporations withhold from releasing "blockbusters" in January/February because attendance drops?
Conventional wisdom says that violent videogames make children more violent. One way to test this would be to survey teens who had been arrested because they committed a violent crime on whether they had played violent videogames. For comparison, you would also need information on the rates at which teens who were not arrested played violent videogames. If you found that teens who were arrested played violent videogames more often or for longer durations, you would be able to give more weight to the conventional thinking.
Generally in the card game Black Jack, it is recommended that if you get a hand that values over 15, you stand (don't ask for more cards). This is the an unstated rule that most people tend to abide by in order to avoid a bust (getting dealt a hand that values over 21). However, if you wanted to test the accuracy or success rate of this theory, you could conduct a study that compared the wins of people who fold when given a hand over 15, versus those who take another card in hopes of getting closer to the value 21.. If the number of wins are around the same number or if the more aggressive technique results in more wins, it would disapprove this commonly accepted theory.
Conventional wisdom states that one should wait thirty minutes before entering a body of water after they have eaten because the blood flow will be focused on going towards their digestive tract instead of their legs and arms. This could be tested by gathering a group of random people and asking them to eat and then go swimming for ten minutes. Once they have finishing swimming one could ask them if they experienced any cramps while swimming and check their blood pressure. If enough people experienced cramps and had low blood pressure, which displays that most of their blood was flowing towards their digestive tract, people should wait 30 minutes before entering the water.
A piece of conventional wisdom that I heard while working in manufacturing a few summers ago was that " Long production runs are the most cost effective ways to produce products". As opposed to doing shorter production runs that occur to match exactly what the customer orders. To test this I would gather and compare data from long production runs vs. short production runs of the same product. I would want the variable costs related to the production of the product(raw material quantity and cost, machine hours run and cost, employee hours and wage, time it takes to switch product production ), I would also want to collect data from both processes regarding total inventory levels of the product, number of orders filled on time, and remaining unsold inventory. I would possibly also want to look into data regarding avg time it takes to fill an order and how that impacts a customers subsequent orders.
I've heard from a few disparate sources that listening to music while working increases productivity. Personally, I'm quite skeptical given that I can barely accomplish simple tasks while listening to music. I'd much rather sing along or pay close attention to what's happening musically than do whatever it is that I'm supposed to be doing, and while I reckon that the truth might rely on a distinction on "active" versus "passive" listeners, vary per type of work being done, or even express preference for certain genres of music, the issue could be put to bed with a test for measurable productivity between two controlled groups: one that listens to music while it works, and one that does not.

Psalms is the debut studio album by American deathcore band Lorna Shore. It was released on June 9, 2015 through Density Records, their only album with the label, and was produced by Will Putney.

Critical reception

The album received mostly positive reviews from critics. KillYourStereo rated the album 3 out of 5 and said: "It would be going too far to say that Lorna Shore's Psalms is a bad album. All the successful elements of a deathcore album are there and they're executed skillfully. Unfortunately, the abundance of breakdowns that pop up literally stop the album in its tracks. With material from Aversions Crown and Black Tongue managing to showcase new elements in the genre, it's a shame that Lorna Shore fail to bring anything fresh to the table." New Noise gave the album a positive review but stated: "That's how most of these tracks feel. If you took out the breakdowns, or at least minimized their lengths, you would be left with one of, if not the best, deathcore bands around. Lorna Shore isn't just technically impressive; they try to write good, meaningful songs. However, when you stick in one or more drastic and unfortunate shifts in sound a song (i.e., breakdowns), you aren't great songwriters. If Lorna Shore can shore up further what makes them great (the horrifying mood, the musical ability), then deathcore could have a new shining star. As it stands, this is either a wonderfully competent breakdown-filled ride or a disappointment for what it could have been."

New Transcendence praised the album saying, "Lorna Shore have crafted a lurid, loathsome lesson in lacerating heavy music that bands of all styles and genres could learn from. With atmosphere and melody enough to appease fans of melo-death and sludge, but with raw, ruthless punch for those plotting to turn their parent's living room into a mosh pit, Psalms is pure punishment and infernal aggression that no prayer or person in the sky can save the listener from—that is, if they even want to be saved."

V13.net reviewer Daniella Kohan stated in an unrated review for the album, "New Jersey's Lorna Shore is not a band for the faint of heart, and their first full-length offering, Psalms, follows in that same vein. Their unique genre-bending style of blackened technical deathcore really comes into its own on this album, maintaining consistency as well as an overpowering disposition for slow, chuggy breakdowns."

As I had mentioned in the update below, once I actually thought about it, it was quite noticeable that one of the main conflicts didn't come around to be presented until about 60% into the book: the reason why Lacey has suddenly been targeted for murder as well as the significance of her grandfather's paintings.
Of course, there was a very glaringly obvious reason (greed for her Granddad's unsigned paintings), but there was, of course, a very deliberate, underlying conspiracy to the entire ordeal.
Because greed would be too easy of a motive, especially since we learn that the aim of the game was to burn Grandpa Rainbow's paintings rather than acquire them for money. But just from the summary on the book jacket alone, we are already told that the paintings are much more significant than being priceless works of art. Heck, even the prologue hints at the paintings being more significant.
It just felt kind of insulting that we didn't get straight to the point and had to poke around in the dark like the reader didn't already know what was going down and would be surprised by the reveal.
When Lacey Quinn inherits the striking landscapes done by her late, much-loved grandfather, she believes they are as good as anything hanging in museums. But the paintings now in her possession are more than the works of a talented master. They are anguished voices from the grave . . . crying murder!
Lacey begins researching her grandfather's past -- and is rocked almost immediately by a strange series of violent events. Someone wants to steal her inheritance, to reduce the paintings to unrecognizable ashes in a suspicious blaze. Someone wants to prevent Lacey from examining her grandfather's work too closely . . . by any means necessary.
Ian Lapstrake, a security specialist, has taken an interest in Lacey's inheritance . . . and in her. Troubled by what he sees, he becomes Lacey's shadow, as her search for answers leads them both down an ever-darkening road paved with lies, blood, and devastating secrets.
For the first half of the book, we simply follow a series of "unfortunate crimes" all aimed at the paintings Lacey has brought into the light with nothing else to go on. As far as crime thrillers are concerned, there was quite a bit of meandering before we're even told that there's something darker stirring among the characters introduced in this book than we're being lead to believe.
If I had thought that there were too many characters and situations to keep up with in the previous book, Running Scared, this book probably has it beat simply because there were simply too many names, relationships, and fuzzy histories in the Savoy family to keep track of. And all of those incidents had to do with people who were already dead and only got a mention in passing.
The story in this book was ridiculously scattered, unlike the previous few books I have read, written by Elizabeth Lowell. There's enough direction in this book and we all knew where the story was headed; however, the events surrounding the telling meandered so much that it could have been monotonous and boring if not for the fact that I've grown a fondness for Ms. Lowell's work.
So, none of the negatives seemed to keep me from enjoying the book. Lacey Quinn and Ian Lapstrake are an excellent pair together with the right amount of witty fun and heated romance to make me happy enough to continue reading the book. I thoroughly enjoyed them as a couple and an individuals with their own unique personalities of brutal honesty and blunt, straightforward, no-nonsense approaches to all situations.
The rest of the characters were decidedly flat and unextraordinary in any way. Just as well, whatever mystery there was supposed to be was also quite predictable and a little on the "Why do I care?" side.
To be honest, while the tone of the book felt distinctly romantic suspense, and the telling was on par with the rest of Elizabeth Lowell's romantic suspenses, the subject matter was consistently contemporary romance until the first attempt on Lacey Quinn's life about halfway into the book. Then the events remembered that this was supposed to be a crime thriller and so acted accordingly and things started getting a little more exciting.
And for some reason, I can't find it in myself to be bothered by it.
I guess that's what it means to have a soft spot for certain authors.

"Ignorance isn't bliss," she said. "Especially if there's something dangerous. That's why they post road signs. It keeps the ignorant from driving off cliffs."
I briefly addressed this point in a brief post on Elizabeth Lowell's fourth book in the Donovan series, Midnight in Ruby Bayou. I won't rehash my thoughts, but Lacey puts it pretty bluntly here. And for this, I love her.
As stated before, I understand the need to shield loved ones from brutal knowledge. But sometimes, when it DOES matter, maybe knowledge is more important than ignorance "for your own good". Not everyone's a China doll; and sometimes knowing the truth could make the difference between life and death.
I am really enjoying this book as much as it wanders around from place to place and person to person--I think I hardly noticed that the main conflict didn't even really start until about 60% into the book. Well played, Ms. Lowell. I remained entertained for the most part and continue to do so.
Also, it helps that with Lowell's hit-or-miss characters, Ian and Lacey certainly are an interesting pair--refreshingly fun and open would be the right description. I really like them A LOT.

JUNGLENOMICS
Junglenomics is all about protecting and restoring the natural environment and its biodiversity by introducing a form of economics that imitates the workings of natural ecosystems.
The book begins by tracing the origins and growth of our environmental problems from the birth of farming to the development of modern money-based economies. It argues firstly that, just like species in ecosystems, we humans are genetically programmed to seek out new resources; and secondly that we inhabit a worldwide "economic ecosystem" in which people act out roles that are the exact equivalent to species in natural ecosystems. The only real difference is that ours is a "virtual" ecosystem, where rather than needing to evolve physically to occupy a new role, we are "avatars" who can step in and out of roles as the opportunity arises. In the economic world, technology is the equivalent to evolution, and the roles of money, innovation and markets have combined to evolve a whole array of niches where none previously existed, for example in electronics, energy and financial services.
This has brought a unique and often devastating set of problems. There has been a huge proliferation of economic niches exploiting the world's resources so fast and furious that it has left the rest of the "economic ecosystem" behind. This is mostly because there has not been time for enough clean-up "species", which we find everywhere in Nature, to evolve alongside them. Natural ecosystems have no waste because evolutionary change is very slow, and that slowness allows the discarded waste that comes from the activities of one species to become a vital resource for another. The consequence of high-speed economic evolution is that we have a large supply of 'dirty' big beasts colonising and dominating the economic ecosystem, with the supply of "detrivores" to clean up after them lagging far behind. Junglenomics' conclusion is thus that the chief cause of our environmental problems is much too much 'dirty' economic evolution, much too fast.
So how can we now establish the kind of balance that natural ecosystems enjoy and stop ourselves from damaging the natural world ever further? The answer, Junglenomics argues, is that balance between economics and ecology can yet be found by using highly successful natural ecosystems as a blueprint. Only in this way can the world achieve benign economic growth while conserving valuable ecosystems and their biodiversity. This involves, among many other things, nurturing and fast-tracking "good" technology and environmentally benign markets to control or eliminate "bad" ones; by establishing economic "symbiosis" to clear up behind polluters; by enlisting powerful economic actors in pursuit of 'green' profit to conserve and restore vulnerable wilderness; and by re-valuing environments and biodiversity to make them more valuable intact and alive than destroyed and dead.
In subsequent chapters, the Junglenomics paradigm is applied variously to pollution, land degradation, marine ecosystems, wildlife markets, wilderness destruction (including rainforests), and to the overall decline of biomass and biodiversity. *
Junglenomics concludes that a World Environment Organisation is needed to disseminate ideas efficiently, share new technology and co-ordinate policy. It argues that we cannot cure new problems with old, failed policies; that a fresh mindset is needed to tackle the enormous environmental challenges facing the world; and that the Junglenomics paradigm - Nature's paradigm - is the only way to achieve this for the long term.

all the signs were there!
On Monday, I sneezed at least 5 times. On Tuesday, my nose ran like a faucet, and I was cold all day. By Tuesday night, my eyes were burning. When I woke up on Wednesday, with a raging headache, it was obvious I had a cold.
Why did it take me so long to realize it? Tomorrow will be a week, and I still have a runny nose and headache. I guess this is a ten-day cold. Bah humbug! I have not been able to decorate for Christmas and if I can't get it done within the next few days, I might as well not bother. Now, Jim is getting a cold too. Ugh.
Five of my family members are on a Caribbean cruise and I really wish I was well and able to go with them! They are lounging in 80* weather, drinking and eating as much as they want, while looking over a gloriously blue/green ocean. Sounds like Heaven to me, especially the 80* part!
We went straight from summer to winter this year; we had maybe 2 days of fall. At this rate I will never get our garage cleared out. It has been either way too hot or too cold to stand in it and decide what to keep and what to toss, so now it looks like an old episode of "Sanford and Son".
I hope my cold leaves soon and that we have some moderate weather and I have the time to sort, donate and clean out. Wish me luck on that, please?


PACIFIC PALISADES (CBSLA) — With Pacific Coast Highway indefinitely closed due to the Woolsey Fire, the Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades will stay closed until at least Thanksgiving Day. Both the villa and the Getty Center, which is located alongside the 405 Freeway in West Los Angeles, are safe from the fire. But with no timeline for reopening evacuation zones in Malibu or PCH, the Getty Villa will stay closed, according to Getty's Lisa Lapin. Because PCH will likely be needed for disaster recovery efforts, the Getty Villa will remain closed to the public until further notice, and at least through Thanksgiving Day. Both museums are safe and the art and archives secure, Lapin said. Getty officials said Saturday that the villa is being used as a place for fire crews to rest and recover.

safest country in the world
So let's start the countdown. The Institute for Economics and Peace has released its Global Peace Index for 2019, an annual ranking of the world's safest countries. Civil liberty is considered top most priority here, and human rights get utmost importance. The safest country in the world for COVID-19 is now Germany, according to a recently released ranking. The Philippines got a score of 84 which is enough to propel it in the Top 50 of the safest countries in the world based on the 2020 Global Law and Order Report by … It is a land of music and culture that makes it a peaceful place. Do you think Switzerland produces only world-class watches and chocolates? If you rate the countries based on the highest level of securities, then Austria appears in the top few. To assemble the list, the Institute for Economics and Peace, with help from the Economist Intelligence Unit, ranks 163 nations on "a country's level of Negative Peace using three domains of peacefulness." Japan held its spot this year with its score of 1.391, getting high marks on the peace index for its low number of homicides and limited access to weapons. Slovenia broke into the top 10 this year with a score of 1.355, thanks to an extremely low crime rate and low terrorism risk. At present he is... Be my guest writer for exposure to a greater audience. 20 November 2019. The country offers truly majestic historical places and a great respect for the past. It is a great nation with an excellent record of human respect and personal freedom. A warm climate, fresh seafood, and stunning beaches make Portugal a popular place.

Despite being larger than its neighbor to the south, Canada's 1.372 score ranks much higher than the United States (we're at 128th this year...womp womp). Here are The Top 10 countries that are considered as the safest places on earth. The 8 cheapest, safest places to live in the world 1. Condé Nast Traveler does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The island city-state earns bragging rights with enviably low scores in domestic and international conflict, plus societal safety. In spite of it, Iceland has been considered one of the top developed countries worldwide. It also boasts a high level of income equality and is frequently ranked as one of the happiest nations in the world. Though there has been a history of militant's attacks in the past, but because of low crime rates it still grabs the third position in the list. Denmark has a distinct lack of violent crime and internal conflict. Beyond safety, the country also makes it very easy for travelers to get around, with high-speed and even invisible trains. With the neatly maintained towns and villages, and mesmerizing beauty of mountains and valleys, it is like paradise in the world. It is an outstanding country with rich folklore and great tradition. It is ranked as #5 in terms of safety. The Nordic nation scored low points for homicides, number of people in jail, and terror acts, earning a 1.072 overall. Portugal ranks number 3 on the Global Peace Index, which makes it one of the safest places to live in the world. Citizens can continue with their traditional beliefs and lifestyle.

According to statistics Canada is one of the top nations for human rights and tolerance. Each domain takes into account a host of factors, such as weapon imports and political stability, to give each nation three scores that are averaged for an overall composite, according to the index's methodology. Overall, the study found, that while the world is still less peaceful than it was a decade ago (probably not surprising for anyone who reads the news, like, ever,) it is slightly more peaceful today than it was at this time last year—the first time that the index improved in the last five years. Incredible crime rates and social awareness make it 9th safest countries of the world! You can find it on GPI's website. some more countries should be add and USA always not in the list.

Most of us are stressed with their daily working life, all they need is a break and some enjoyable moments with family at a peaceful place. Finland grabs the fourth position because of great safety standards and high regards to democracy. Hence, a lot of time is spent in searching about the facts and figures. With the remarkable support by the government with flexible immigration policy, Canada boasts the amazingly multicultural society. The metro cities like Geneva, Bern, and Zurich are the safest places to live. Nature lovers praise it for the untouched beauty. People love to settle down or visit this peaceful and spectacular country. It is an incredible mix of pristine natural beauty and modern cities bustling with life. Japan's peacefulness extends beyond its serene landscapes. Agreed…. Here I'm ending the list of safest countries in the world, Also see Top Ten Most Dangerous Countries in the world.

We depart Dingle in the early evening and tour along the Slea Head Drive, visiting all the iconic locations along this stretch of The Wild Atlantic Way. Depending on the sea conditions, tides and the time of the year, we'll choose a couple of locations along the shoreline to explore low light and long exposure photography, hopefully finishing up at sunset and dusk with some colour in the sky.
A photography tour that can run any day from November to March, that begins at the very first glimpse of dawn over a choice of great locations along the southern edge of the Dingle Peninsula. We finish in the west at dusk along the Slea Head Drive, visiting the iconic areas on the coastline around Coumeenoole and Dunquin with the Blasket Islands filling the horizon, hopefully under fantastic skies. If you prefer a later start following breakfast, check out our Winter Light Tour.
We can collect you from your accommodation around Dingle or alternatively meet in Dingle approximately 4 hours before sunset. Touring along the Slea Head Drive we'll visit the ionic locations of Coumeenoole, Dunquin and Clogher as well as dropping into a couple of lesser visited spots along the coastline. We'll finally settle into one or two of these locations for the remainder of the evening as we explore long exposure and low light photography, as well as the use of filters, tripods and if you're using a phone, a few creative apps. We'll generally be arriving back in Dingle around ½ hour following sunset and dusk. If you prefer, this evening can be a "mini" beginners or intermediate workshop with less emphasis on just the low light & long exposure aspects of photography, although we probably won't get to cover everything completely as we would during our day beginners workshops .
To facilitate this workshop, we carry a selection of filters including both ND & Graduated ND that will fit most cameras that have a filter thread on the lens, so it's a superb opportunity to experiment using them if you've not done so before. We also carry a few basic tripods that can be used for the evening. A cable or remote release is an advantage although it's possible to use your camera's self-timer.
This workshop is best suited to a DSLR Mirrorless or a phone that you have some control over the settings. If you're more interested in touring and just snapping away, see our Magic Hours Tour which covers the same great locations and includes tuition and tips on ways you can improve your general photography.
You choose the size of your group, from 1 to a maximum of 5 participants is recommended and our discount rates apply to groups with 2 participants or more. A group of 5 participants comes to €45 per person when you take advantage of our excellent group rates. All locations are easily accessible from the minibus following paths and level ground with no serious walking or climbing involved.
