You could play Cyberpunk 2077 like it's GTA, but you wouldn't want to
You can run around the world of Cyberpunk 2077 senselessly murdering everyone, but you'll soon realise there are better things to do in the game.
Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red often avoided comparisons to GTA, despite the games' shared similarities. On the surface, both games let you explore a vast open world, hotwire cars, and wreak havoc anywhere you go.
But CDPR likes to think Cyberpunk 2077 has more interesting underlining systems that players will, eventually, like to engage with. Speaking to PC Games N, level designer Max Pears said the game won't stop you from from playing it like a GTA.
"If you want to go out on a rampage and have no remorse, then you have got the option, and that's fine with us," he said. "However, once you start to play the missions and see the amount of options you have, I think that will make players stop and think a little bit before doing something reckless."
In fact, Pears says that CD Projekt actually saw testers sometimes get into "GTA mode," before they realise there's more to the game than just mucking about its open world causing carnage.
"We've seen a lot of people default to that 'GTA mode' and then after a little bit they realise how many things are different and adjust how they play."
GTA, of course, does not let you kill story-related NPCs. It's not clear if Cyberpunk 2077 has the same approach, though given its more complex RPG systems, we're betting you also won't be able to off most of its story characters.
Alex recently played a few hours of the game, and came away impressed with how Cyberpunk 2077 brings together elements from other games to create the ultimate cyberpunk adventure. We also spoke with the team at CDPR about how the studio wants to balance the act of telling a compelling story and offering players freedom of choice.
Cyberpunk 2077 is out November 17 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.


I was skeptical at first, but this pillow totally lives up to the hype!
Over the past few months I've been sharing some of my favorite products with you. But I won't recommend just any product. I make it a point to only share products that truly had a significant and positive impact on my life. Today I'll be sharing a little bit about another one of my "must-have" products, but first I want to explain a little bit about why I chose this particular item.
I've realized that several of the products I've written about so far have been related to sleep in some way. That's a bit surprising to be honest, because I don't even particularly like sleeping! (My husband and daughter are the sleep-aholics of the family, while I've always tended to be both a night owl and an early riser.) But as I've gotten older, I've realized that even though I don't need much sleep in terms of quantity, I really need to focus on getting good quality sleep.
I've tried out a lot of different products in my quest for better sleep, like different varieties of sheets, fancy mattresses, special blankets, and more. You can read about some of those experiments in my posts about my favorite set of bedsheets, as well as my life-changing knee pillow. And today I'll be sharing another product that I've added to my sleep arsenal. :-) It's my very favorite pillow—the aptly named MyPillow!
The first and foremost reason that I love my MyPillow is because it's so "adjustable." By adjustable, I mean that I can squish, squash, and fluff this pillow into whatever shape or loft I need. I'm a side sleeper, so I really need a pillow that provides enough support for my head and neck. Because MyPillow has a special interlocking fill, I can adjust it to where I want and it will actually [stay] that way overnight! No other pillow I've tried could do that.
There are different fill levels for MyPillow you can choose from: Yellow, White, Green, and Blue. I have the White option, which fits nicely and is plenty supportive. (The White fill level is also the size recommended for most women based on shoulder width and neck length.) You can click here to read more about the fill options for MyPillow.
Another reason why I like MyPillow is because it stays cool overnight. Other pillows that I've tried would heat up over time and would made my head too warm for comfort. It seemed like I was always flipping my pillow over, searching for the "cool side!" I never have to flip this pillow over because the whole thing stays nice and cool.
I use a standard cotton pillowcase, which is recommended when using MyPillow. According to their website, other types of pillowcases can inhibit the cooling effect of the pillow.
This pillow is really resilient when it comes to being washed. A lot of other pillows aren't designed to be machine-washed, so you have to resort to pillow protectors and other measures to keep them clean. But I can toss this pillow right in my washer without a second thought! And it comes out clean and fresh every time, without any loss of support or loft.
I always hesitate when making pricier purchases, but I was reassured when I read that MyPillow comes with a 60-day money back guarantee. I appreciated knowing that I could give it a try for up to two months and still get my money back if I didn't end up liking it. (Though I obviously didn't end up needing my money back!) MyPillow also comes with a 10-year warranty that covers both manufacturing defects AND washing and drying. My MyPillow is still in great shape, but it's nice to know that I could get a replacement if it ever got damaged in the wash.
Just to sum things up, this pillow has really helped me sleep more soundly and more comfortably. I've tried quite a few pillows over the years, and this one has definitely been my favorite so far. While my quest to get my Best Sleep Ever isn't quite over yet, I'm closer to it than I've ever been! Check out MyPillow on Amazon here.
Do you have a favorite can't-sleep-without-it pillow?
Worst Pillow ever! Bought one and used it about a year. I found that its fill scooted out from under my head during sleep, putting my head in a position on the mattress, I trashed it as the worst pillow ever conceived. I still have neck problems I attribute to My Pillow. My Pillow has great advertising and draws in people to buy. But I got a better pillow at Costco that gives better support etc. it is called Aloha Soft.
I also LOVE MyPillow! Gives my painful neck a soft place to land and stays adjusted for it! My husband and daughter have a MyPillow too!
My husband and I have had these for about a year. The first couple of months they were wonderful after that they became the worst pillows we have ever tried. I wake up most mornings with splitting head and neck pain and have to turn the pillow over several times at night because it gets so hot.
I love my pillow. I had trouble sleeping for years. Within a week it turned everything around for me. I bought several.
Not all they say about Mypillow was true for me , I bought it when it was bogo , which was another lie, I paid a lot of money for them. I have to turn the pillow 3or 4 times a night because it goes flat on me. I couldn't recommend them to anyone , but I understand that some people enjoy them & I'm glad they do well with it. God bless.
I wish I liked mine! Maybe I sleep too wiggley? My stuffing shifts ALL NIGHT LONG. I gave it too my husband.

With: William H. Macy, John Ritter, Neve Campbell, Donald Sutherland, Tracey Ullman, David Dorfman
Written by: Henry Bromell
Directed by: Henry Bromell
MPAA Rating: R for language and elements of violence
Panic (2000)
Henry Bromell's Panic is so good I almost couldn't believe it. But I pinched myself and it's true. It's one of the best movies I've seen this year. I love this movie.
William H. Macy stars (in a performance that should be considered for an Oscar) as a hit man named Alex working for his gangster father (Donald Sutherland). Unable to fight off his overwhelming sadness and unable to confide in his wife (Tracey Ullman), he begins seeing a shrink (a heavily bearded John Ritter). While in the waiting room, he meets a young woman named Sarah (Neve Campbell) whose spunky carelessness intrigues him. Meanwhile, his father assigns him a hit that makes him question his entire existence.
Writer/director Henry Bromell was, refreshingly, a fiction writer and not a music video director as seems to be the trend. He also contributed scripts to such intelligent television shows as Northern Exposure, Homicide, and Chicago Hope. Panic marks his feature writing and directing debut. It shows the patience of an artist willing to take time to set things up. With his veteran cameraman Jeffry Jur (Dirty Dancing, The Last Seduction) he gives his Panic smooth, clean surfaces. Macy himself is smooth and clean, with his crisp wardrobe and perfect hair. Only his eyes betray him. ("He has beautiful, sad eyes," Sarah tells a co-worker.) Even his killings are flawless. We see him kill a man in broad daylight in a courtyard with a hot dog vendor standing in plain view; you'd miss it if you blinked.
I'd love to discuss the intricate plot and how the chess pieces carefully block Alex in a corner, forcing him to make a hard choice. But part of the fun of this crime film is watching it unfold. Besides his smart screenplay, Bromell is equally adept at keeping the film alive. It could easily have descended into impenetrable coldness, but the women characters keep the film moving. "It's the women that run the world," Sutherland tells his son flatly. Ullman does amazing things as Alex's hurt wife, trying to break through her husband's wall. Campbell is electric, completely in command, but steeped in neuroses. And Barbara Bain as Alex's mother is wonderfully clueless, asking everyone if Alex is getting enough sex.
A big surprise is Donald Sutherland, who projects a sinister side I've never seen in him before. He was psychotic in The Dirty Dozen (1967) and mysterious in JFK (1991), but here he's positively frightening. Macy is no doubt the star of the picture, though, using his barely contained exterior and soft eyes to pull us in. It's the same trick he pulled in films like Fargo (1996) and Magnolia (1999), but it's a good trick, and Macy is the best at it.
Panic apparently failed miserably at an audience test screening earlier this year, prompting its first distributor to drop it like a hot rock. But San Francisco's Roxie Releasing (Red Rock West & Freeway) has now came to its rescue. Test screenings usually don't allow for certain things. They don't allow for slow-moving stories. They don't allow for movies that build scenes with textures. And they don't allow for movies where the entire plot hinges on a single painful decision made by one man. Panic is such a movie.

Posted by Wyatt Bloom
Born and raised in Clearfield, on the back roads is where I spent most of my days. Chillin' at Beef's or snackin' at Sheetz, with a couple of guys that were always good. We never caused trouble in the neighborhood. Spotting for deer never made us scared, but the fear of running out of gas made us get back there. I pulled 180s and donuts, while my friends and family think I'm nuts. All in all, it's hip to be square.

This episode was confusing, among other things. Scott would be safer with Matt at Ayers Rock? Really? Dagger's plan of using Switchblade as a sky god is actually better than Mayhem's! Lines like Matt's "That's exactly what I want you to do." when Brad didn't say anything and VENOM being fooled by a hologram when they spent the majority of the episode using that exact same technology had me scratching my head. Shouldn't VENOM at least be aware, by now, of MASKs' powers? Know your enemy, right? At one point it looked like Switchblade passed right through the holographic giant's hand! Shouldn't this have tipped Mayhem off? Also, Matt and Bruce's magically changing wardrobe and Mayhem automatically knowing the natives would take Scott to the treasure were really off-putting. I also didn't like how they portrayed the aboriginals. No matter what your beliefs are, unless you have an IQ of 2 you're not going to mistake a small boy for your sky god. VENOM seems obsessed with finding any treasure they can, often to the detriment of more lucrative ventures. Just the fact they needed a hologram machine to secure the riches seems like it would be a zero sum gain, given the cost of said machine versus the amount of treasure seen. I miss the early episodes when VENOM would hold cities of the world hostage with radioactive materials or comets, or commit other acts of terror to further their goals. It seems to me they have basically become treasure hunters with high tech tools. I did like the shots Rax took at Dagger, and even though Dagger is an easy target, it always cracks me up when other members of VENOM take jabs at him. Still, the VENOM scenes were not enough to save this episode from the overwhelming influence of Scott and T-Bob or goofs such as VENOM not even noticing Thunderhawk and Rhino. Overall, a pretty lousy episode, especially given the lame way VENOM was defeated.
Anna S. Kjolberg May 29, 2015 at 6:20 AM
I remembered this episode as rather boring and uninteresting, but when I watched it again, I was positively surprised. The episode has a lot of humor and some great lines, like when Matt and Bruce think Scott and T-Bob sliding down the rock are VENOM, when Mayhem refers to Dagger as the Dagger-god and when T-Bob declares that it's nice to finally be riding something that doesn't turn into defense mode, while he and Scott are being carried into the rock. I also liked it when Thunderhawk got crushed by a rock, because it added a little realism to the episode, instead of the MASK-vehicles always remaining unharmed while the VENOM-vehicles get crushed. Finally I thought the ending was good - while at the same time – a little humorous. An enjoyable episode!


In February 2015, take-offs and landings at 117 Canadian airports without air traffic control towers reached a total of 32,436 movements.

United Customer Service
In the last hour today I am joined by Terence Ford from the National Concert Association, I also take a rummage around the Internet. The story that has gone viral not just on social media but also in the main stream is the forcible removal of a paying passenger from a United Airlines flight, which has inspired some interesting responses like the picture above.
As for the concert season for this year there will be six events that will be free to the public this year in order to try to bring classical music to those that perhaps would not normally have the opportunity.
Terry and Gerry
We also catch up with Yoly de Sedas this morning for her tips on healthy eating and the recipe….
https://pbcpanama.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Yoly%20110417.mp3
For the crust: Wash the raisins, drain them and put them in the food processor along with the nuts. Process for a few minutes until a soft dough is formed. If you do not like the small pieces of nuts in the base, process the nuts until they become powdered and add the raisins afterwards.
For the lemon cream: Put in blender half of the cashews, the lemon juice, the agave nectar, the zest and the coconut oil and blend for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is creamy and uniform. Add the rest of the cashews and blend for few more minutes until they are incorporated in the mixture and the texture of the cream is smooth and homogeneous.
Assembly: Line a cheesecake pan of 20-22 cm diameter with greaseproof paper and spread the crust mixture over the bottom. Press with your hands to distribute equally and form the crust. Pour the lemon cream on top of the crust and refrigerate for 8-12 hours to set.
Before serving garnish with lemon zest, nuts or lemon slices.

Morgan Abbey's life is about to change. Just weeks before the beginning of her senior year, a mysterious stranger approaches Morgan with information that turns her world on end: First, the psychic ability she believes she has just been pretending to have since middle school might actually be real. Second, her mother, who disappeared abruptly and completely almost a decade ago, might still be alive. Morgan finds herself drawn into a centuries-old struggle involving a shadowy group with incredible powers. The Veneret have quietly coexisted alongside the common people of the world for centuries. Now they believe it is time for them to reclaim their former positions of power-and that Morgan is the key to their victory. Every victory comes at a price-but is it one that Morgan will be willing to pay?
Awaking was a fun and interesting read I was completely immersed in the story and could not wait to find out what was going to happen next. The first thing that drew me to this series is that GAW-JESS cover!! Wow just look at it! Its all like, mysterious and hiding something truly amazing. The concept of this story is unlike anything else I've ever read and now sadly, I'm hooked. My life will not be complete until I see where Morgan(our main girl) ends up.
A-wkward, Morgan has never quite fit in. Life has caused her an unbelievable amount of emotional pain. Being outcasted by those that are supposed to be your friends and family hurts more than a million cuts.
W-atched, unbeknownst to Morgan many have been keeping tabs on her. Some want to protect her others want to abuse the power she holds. Unaware of all the details no one knows who has set out to do what.
A-llies, Ris has been Morgan's truest friend for as long as she can remember and has stood by her side regardless. Throughout this story Morgan will find friends she never knew she had.
K-indred, Morgan is introduced to a world where people like her are a plenty but they are in hiding. Morgan is the key to unite everyone and restore order to people who posses the powers she does. They have been waiting for her for a long time.
I-ndecisive, Morgan knows who her friends are but something deep within her keeps crying out to be with the one person who is forbidden. Not wanting to hurt anyone she ignores these feelings until a single careless act crumbles her resolve.
N-ews, Morgans mother has been missing for years, the person she is supposed to trust to guide her drops a bomb that can no longer be ignored. The shocking reality will cause a turmoil that will take interference to keep Morgan out of harms way.
G-ames, the lines have been drawn a war is coming. Morgan knows who she is but she is still unaware of how to fight and how to live up to the prophecy that has claimed her to be the one.
Exhilarating the ending was shocking and revealing. I guessed a few of the things that transpired but was completely floored by most. The writing had an easy flow and had me turning the pages quickly to find out what happens next. This almost falls into the mystery category because the reader is kept in the dark about so many things but when the light switch flips its like a tidal wave of reveals. Awaking contains all of the classic characteristics of YA down to the snark and self doubt. Like I mentioned earlier this story's concept is something I've never heard of but enjoyed very much. The naturals are far and few between but with Morgan near she seems to have the ability to draw everyone out of their personal confines. I am definitely looking forward to finding out what happens in this wonderful world Freeman has created.
She has basically raised herself but she has a good head on her shoulders and is a hard worker. Struggling to overcome the handicaps that society has placed on her hasn't been easy but she continues to flourish and be a good person. I LOVED the family dynamic she has with her dad this maybe the first YA novel I've read where the father has been amazing and has a loving relationship with his daughter. I'm used to reading about all the downfalls of the parents and how they don't understand the protagonists plight. In Awaking Morgan has a light but very loving and understanding relationship with her father. It was a breath of fresh air for me and made me like Morgan even more. There are a lot of things I really liked about Morgan but perhaps my favorite is her willingness to do the right thing, not the easiest, but def the right thing to do. She fights tooth and nail against an injustice she feels very strongly about and I think that is the very reason she is the one. Morgan is my girl and I'll be cheering for her throughout till the end!!
3.5 House Party, Captivating Stranger, Daily Grind, Special Talent, Fedora, Unused Energy, The Common, Private Office, Masked Watchers, Unplanned Kiss, Battle drawn Stars!! I cant wait to see what becomes of these characters that are full of intrigue and mystery! For a fun and different fantasy YA pick up this Series!!!
Paranormal is my first love. This one sounds like I might enjoy it. The way describe Morgan makes me think I'd like her. I also like the idea of her having a good relationship with her Dad. Not enough of that going around.
This sounds delightful and I love the cover. So glad you enjoyed it Ria. I posted my Acrostic Poem review of Some Like It Wild. Stop stop and check it out..It doesn't even come close to your greatness..but was fun.

Q: Need help recovering Sitecore items I accidentally deleted a node in Sitecore. I see it in the site but not in the preview.  I tried packaging it and unpackaging it to the preview but that didn't work. Other than pulling from a back-up, is there a way to get my items from the live site back to the unpublished?

A: I think you're saying that you have an item or items in the web (live site) database that no longer exist in the master (unpublished) database.
To move the web items to the master database, go to the web database item, right-click the item, select "Copying ...", then Transfer.  You can select the source item and then the target location.  This won't recover all the versions (if you had any), but merely the latest version.

A: Using the Transfer method will work but sometimes it may fails. What I do is that I generate a package from the Web database, then convert it with the tool I have implemented. You can download it here on marketplace.
It is a desktop app where you specify the Sitecore package to convert, the source and the target. It will change the metadata and path so that it gets installed on the desired database

A: Hedgehog Development creates a tool called Razl. It is good for comparing databases. You can use it to compare the two databases and move the items that you need moved. Since they are the creators of TDS, it should have similar functionality.

Q: Tap on notification restart application and NotificationTapped event not firing I am using Plugin.LocalNotification
 to receive notification. I want to use NotificationCenter.Current.NotificationTapped event but on Android device event is not triggered. On iOS device, it work's
I created 2 views :

*

*MainView

*NotifView

I send notif from NotifView page, I left app (by clicking on home button). 5 seconds later I got notification, I click on it, app restart with splashscreen. Event and treaments are not executed.
MainView.xaml.cs
public MainView()

Monday Morning Mindfulness: Always Maintain a Joyful MInd!?
s "Notice everything. Appreciate everything, including the ordinary.
That's how to click in with joyfulness or cheerfulness."
"Always maintain a joyful mind."
Yet, thanks to Practice, I actually didn't mind the lingering winter weather this year here in Western Massachusetts. The reoccurring bouts of snow and wintry mixes were just fine with me. Some were even quite beautiful.
They sure didn't deter the neighborhood cardinals either. They've been singing Spring's praises weeks for weeks.
Yet, that being said, today was different. Although Spring had whispered in our ear on and off for weeks, today she stepped up to the microphone and proclaimed in no uncertain terms, "I'M HERE!"
Here, on the sun washed sidewalks of Greenfield, good cheer was ubiquitous. Steps were lively. Strangers greeted one another with nods and smiles. Joyful Mind was in the air! It was palpable -- and shared.
Although I am well aware that the strains of George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun" could quickly morph into "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" in the grand soundtrack of Mother Nature's movie, it doesn't matter. Even if She turns on a dime to blow another Nor'easter in our face, I'll just blow her a kiss. The sun will rise the next day, there will be diamonds glittering in the melting snow, and the Cardinals will keep singing. We're home free. It's a done deal.
Six years ago this spring, I was asked by one of the irregular regulars of Monday Morning Mindfulness to jump into a study of the Lojong Trainings of Tibetan Buddhism. Although I had been struck by the heart centered teachings of Pema Chodron and had adopted her Tonglen Practice for a number of years, I hadn't really picked up on her tradition's "slogan practice."
In fact, with decades of devotion to the Zen path, I had been a decidedly uppity and rejected the idea that studying and using a series of slogans could be useful. I huffed to myself, the Real Deal is beyond mere"words and letters" -- and kept moving.
Yet, this time something resonated. I paused and took a breath or two.
After all, I had been asked to teach meditation by the director of Community Yoga and Wellness Center a couple of years before. I said I'd have to teach it for free (some of the other teachers there weren't too happy with that), and I'd barter for the space as the Coordinator of the Caretaking Crew. (a fancy title for being the head, and often only, janitor. LOL). She agreed.
Then a year later, a MMM CircleMate asked me to offer a Mindfulness Circle at the Recovery Learning Community.
Now, a Mindfulness CircleMate was asking me to apply myself to studying, practicing, and sharing the Lojong Trainings. Interestingly, I had picked Norman Fischer's Trainings in Compassion: Zen Teachings on the Practice of Lojong off of my son's bookshelf in his guest bedroom two weeks before that, and I had loved it! I couldn't resist that type of synchronicity. So, I was asked take on and share a Lojong Practice.
The Lojong Slogans are a series of aphorisms that are memorized, studied, and used in training the mind to expand beyond it's usual conditioned patterns. (Lojong means Mind Training in Tibetan.) These 59 slogans operate as mental reminders to frame our experience in particular ways -- both on and off the meditation cushion. The stated goal is to cultivate wisdom and compassion.
Being a Spiritual Practice Geek at heart, I've now studied the commentaries of Chogyam Trungpa, Pema Chodron, Traleg Kyabgon, B. Alan Wallace, as well as that of Zen Teacher Norman Fischer. It's been part of my daily practice for six years.
And, of course, the way I go about it looks a bit different than it was approached in medieval Tibet. Currently, I use a random number generator on my phone to select a daily slogan, then click another icon to read the commentary by Acharya Judy Lief that Tricycle has made available online . Often I will re-read another commentary or two over a cup of coffee before setting the meditation timers on my iPhone and taking my seat in front of my hOMe altar for an hour.
At times, the synchronicity of slogan and life-situation seem mind-boggling. At other times, I'm left with scratching my head about why I'm staying with this particular practice. Yet, in all honesty, I've found Lojong to be extremely helpful in examining my own conditioning and cultivating an open heart and a clear head. The Practice continues to deepen.
Some of the Lojong slogans seem quite familiar: Don't be jealous, don't malign others, etc. We probably have heard them from our parents, Sunday school teachers, from our kind and upstanding friends.
Others, like "regard all dharmas as a dream" or "rest in the nature of alaya," call for an understanding of the terminology and teachings of Mahayana Buddhism or of some of the unique notions of Tibetan Buddhism. I've found, though, that reading the commentaries by contemporary teachers helps bring them into focus.
"Always Maintain A Joyful Mind!"
I think a common first reaction to that slogan is "WTF? Are you kidding me!?"
The world is in turmoil. With warfare and global warming seemingly stewing us in our own juices these are stressful times. At this point, our political economy seems to be on the way backwards towards some sort of 19th century plutocracy where a few folks cruise and most of us other folks tread water -- or sink. People are suffering and dying at this very moment. Hell, at some point, the truth is, I'm going to die!
Always Maintain A Joyful Mind? Give me a break!
This is the 21st slogan. If you really have been fairly serious about the studying the Lojong Slogans and consistent with your regular meditation practice, it is very possible by the time you get to this slogan it will not only make perfect sense -- it will seem increasingly possible.
In the first place, by then you will have understood that these slogans really aren't really "commandments". Like the Zen Precepts, these slogans aren't hard and fast should's. It's not about gain and loss, success and failure. Like Stephen Levine once said to me, "we've should on ourselves long enough." The slogans are Practices. They often provide both a means of identifying and assessing your current state of mind, and a direction of growth to consider and work with.
Slogan 21 isn't about putting a phony smile on our mugs or beating ourselves up if we can't. What then?
If you've been Sitting for awhile (awhile being defined as somewhere between a few weeks and several decades), by the time you're working with slogan 21 you will probably have experienced for yourself that there is a palpably spacious, bright, and malleable quality of mind that is more or less accessible to each of us. As some of our more stressful conditioning has loosened, it is not uncommon to experience what some of the Zennie's refer to as "the dharma gate of ease and joy" -- at least for a moment or two. At times, it can be a profound experience. Yet it may emerge as a much more ordinary experience, a sense of the simple joy that exists as our heart connects with the energy of life in the present moment.
As Practice deepens, you also probably have had some experience with the fact that, like Mother Nature's spring weather, your emotional reality and energy level can sometimes "turn on a dime." Sometimes it's just as simple as noticing that your thinking up stormclouds, taking a breath and noticing the sun is shining and the birds are singing!
Increasingly, you will find that you have some agency. Sometimes, you can actually change the channel. You can consciously relax your body and mind more readily to find a sense of ease and good cheer -- even when Life is presenting you with a significant challenge -- like a long, harsh winter.
In fact, as the Practice unfolds and our Mindfulness provides more equanimity, most of us come to see that opening to and clearly facing the darker realities of our shared human condition also seems to bring a greater light and lightness to our lives. If you've stayed with it, you've been able to increasingly face and embrace the fears, the restlessness, the profound sadness, the numerous "inadequacies" of our lives with a greater and greater sense of ease. You see for yourself the essential impermanence inherent in life. You come to know for yourself, that "this, too, shall pass."
Then, as the Practice deepens, at a certain point we touch our True Nature. We see that a Joyful Mind exists in and of itself, beyond the specifics of our current situation.
At that point our "WTF!? may change its tune. Perhaps emerging with a grin or with tears, perhaps emerging with a touch of incredulity and wonder, "WTF!? now may ring with a deep, deep gratitude for how very cool life can be!
It just did for me!
A year into these trainings, I began another blog. Life moved on and I quickly let go of it because I was already spending too much time in front of a computer screen, but I did create an annotated bibliography of the Lojong Trainings if you're interested and don't want to surf Google. Here's the link: A Layman Looks at Lojong.
joyful mind indeed. Sounds like, to keep the thinking mind/ego in balance with spirit, is the way to keeping a joyful mind,... body and soul. My friend texted me just yesterday that she now only has 1 to 2 weeks left to live. Dr. told her she has some strong constitution because she should have been dead by now. Funny that this joyful mind blog come to my viewing. Yes, she has managed to balance the extreme ends of the unbalance between mind/ego and spirit's wisdom, even when she didn't meditate that, that was exactly what she was doing. And.....joy was always what lead her to calm in the middle. So blessed to have such a spirit in my life. Some times our teachers are closer to home and not in some far away cultural shifting of mind/ego training. As we getting older, closer to our own end of this trip, we seem to be able to let go of the chatter, mind would like us to stay caught up in. Practice as you say, practice to keep that balance while we ride the wave of being human for a short distance, crash course lessons along the way. May a joyful spirit be our study buddy.

Simple often beats complex in accounting
Originally published in Upsize Magazine April 2010
Oscar Wilde once said, "A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing." Unfortunately, the same could be true about traditional accounting systems.
Over time some of these systems have become more complicated in well-intentioned attempts to improve the accuracy and clarity of information. At best, these efforts result in complexity; at worst, the results lead managers to make the wrong decisions.
Variable cost conundrum
"I just want to know why I'm not making as much money as I used to," said the founder and owner of a $12 million manufacturing company who had been blinded by how cost allocations can obscure reality. The company had been very successful, enjoying steady growth over many years, but the owner actually had a large under-absorbed overhead variance.
As the company grew, a general manager had been hired who instituted a standard cost system. This complex system allocated – with great precision – just about every type of cost and activity across the factory for calculating overhead rates. Labor hours were collected in detail and multiplied by these overhead rates to arrive at costs for work orders and, ultimately, products. However, this traditional accounting approach was completely useless for real decision-making.
The sales revenue for the company's six product lines changed throughout the year and each used a different mix of production activities. Although several product lines appeared to be profitable, when the sales of those lines increased overall profitability for the firm declined.
This and other issues led people to mistrust the financial system. Several product lines needed additional financial support and management wanted to allocate the limited resources where it made the most sense. The owner needed a different accounting approach.
By treating many truly fixed costs as variable, it appeared as though these costs would change as production levels changed. In reality, these costs remained fixed. The company ultimately adopted an approach that looked at the contribution margin for each product line.
Contribution margin is calculated by subtracting the true direct variable costs for each product line from the related sales. Direct variable costs change correspondingly with changes in product volume. Material and sales commissions are direct and, therefore, variable; labor is not, unless a company has a lot of contract or temporary labor it can terminate and bring back to work quickly.
Comparing the contribution margin across product lines provides a clearer picture of the relative importance of each product line. This approach allowed the owner to quickly decide where to invest and which lines needed additional attention.
Taking it outside
In a similar situation, a vertically integrated media services firm had carefully allocated all costs to each of its internal departments. Some of the product managers had decided they could find those services more cheaply on the outside and had taken business away from the internal departments. Since many of the costs associated with those internal departments were really fixed, the firm simply ended up increasing overall costs with no additional revenue.
Another example illustrates how improvement projects appear to degrade financial performance. The general manager of a $20-million injection molding company was pleased with the progress his people had made. Quality was on the rise, lead times were decreasing and on-time delivery performance was improving. The shop was better organized and inventory was shrinking. Many of the non-financial measures were beginning to have a positive effect on behavior.
Unfortunately, financial performance was declining. Because the firm was selling off inventory, production levels had declined but operating costs had remained largely the same. As a result, both the current costs and the costs sitting in inventory were hitting the profit-and-loss statement at the same time.
However, the board didn't understand the situation and brought in a new general manager who immediately started building up inventory. Profitability increased almost immediately, but so did lead times. Delivery performance and quality began to suffer. Once inventory levels stabilized, profitability declined rapidly.
It is important to understand the true effect of the improvement activities on the financial statements. Splitting out the sources of costs would have highlighted the issue. Furthermore, a focus on cash flow also would have revealed the true picture.
If all areas of the organization are showing improvement, the entire business must be doing really well, right? This concept is well entrenched in larger companies, especially those with well-developed systems of periodic reports.
The fallacy of this approach is best illustrated in a book by Eliyahu M. Goldratt, called "The Goal," in which each factory department had efficiency measures. Every month, corporate expected improvement in these measures. Unfortunately, the best way to show improvement was to produce constantly with little or no down time.
Supervisors quickly figured out which products would yield the best efficiency report results and focused on those. The end result was growing product inventories that couldn't ship because the parts needed would have hurt another department's efficiencies.
The problem was most acute in those areas where the biggest, most expensive machines existed. Because overhead rates were highest there, a great deal of emphasis was placed on making sure those machines were always running, whether the parts were needed at all. Delivery performance, and therefore sales revenue, suffered constantly.
The alternative approach is to identify the bottlenecks, or constraints, and improve those areas first. High efficiencies in areas with lots of production capacity will only result in more unneeded inventory. Financial reports that emphasize local efficiencies should be scrapped. Costs of products can be adjusted to reflect the amount of time required from the constraint resources. Interestingly enough, the costs of products that don't use the constraint at all appear to have much lower costs. Contribution compared to the constraint is also a useful measure.
In all three examples, the financial information was greatly simplified. Easier to calculate and understand, these changes to management accounting systems will ultimately improve performance. The data required is generally available and in much less detail than is collected. Once these new approaches have taken hold, it is frequently useful to reexamine the need for the complex systems of the past.

We have been testing out some gear from Regatta over the past month and a half and we love it. The Regatta brand, I am sure, needs no introduction. They are one of the most popular brands for great outdoor products at affordable prices. Last month we went on an awesome holiday to Austria and it involved most of our time being spent outdoors, exploring the Austrian landscapes. From going up the Kitzsteinhorn to enjoying hiking trails on the Untersberg to visiting some wonderful waterfalls, we did it all. Considering the unpredictable nature of weather on most mountain terrains, I knew that we would need some really good weatherproof jackets and boots to make our outdoor excursions fun and comfortable. And when the opportunity arose to collaborate with Regatta, I was excited, to say the least. So without further ado, listed below are the products we tried and what we thought of them.
A pair of good, comfortable boots is an essential part of any walking kit. If you are going to do a lot of walking (and on different types of terrain) then a good pair of boots would be your best friend. Picking a pair of walking boots do deserve time and attention, after all, it is going to be an essential part of your outdoor adventure. Regatta helped us by picking the best walking boot for our adventure - the Samaris Mid Hiking Boots.
The Samaris Mid Hiking Boots with a streamlined, lightweight structure proved to be excellent hiking boots. The boots look well-made with endurance mesh uppers that are engineered with extra space around the toes to allow for natural movement on climbs. This is an excellent feature as Mr.H who needs extra room around the toes found them quite comfortable. The boots have 'Hydropel' technology that efficiently disperses mud and water and a waterproof/breathable Isotex membrane that keeps feet dry inside and out. Over the 6-7 weeks that Mr.H has been using these, he has found them very comfortable and the boots have performed well on all kinds of terrain - from paved paths to boggy puddles to rocky mountain trails. The grip has been good. This could be attributed to the hardwearing carbon outsole and a multi-directional cleat pattern that delivers excellent traction and shock absorption on and off the trail.
Like I mentioned earlier on, Mr.H put these boots to a lot of use in Austria - exploring mountains and valleys, hiking up some rugged trails, walking tours in cities - and he has no hesitation in recommending them for such terrain. If you do a lot of walking, then a good pair of boots are extremely important and this pair from Regatta would be a good choice, to begin with. Even after using them for extended periods every day, Mr.H experienced no discomfort and no blisters.
Both Mr.H and I also tested Regatta's Cross Penine III Hybrid jackets.
We needed jackets that were lightweight yet provided good weather protection and Regatta delivered just that. The Cross Penine III hybrid breathable waterproof stretch jacket ticked all the right boxes. It has a waterproof/breathable shell that uses ISOTEX 15,000 fabric with key-area stretch panels for enhanced mobility. Other main features include sealed seams, watertight zips and adjustable cuffs that seal out the elements. It doesn't stop at that, there are other useful features like a shock cord hem, inner storm flap and an internal map pocket. One feature that Mr.H loved a lot was the 2-way underarm venting zips which provided the much-needed airflow on tough climbs. While I liked the addition of these vents, I found that the venting zips bothered my underarm area. Mr.H had no such problem though. I liked the stretch feature of the jacket which ensured a good fit and added to the mobility while climbing.
The sizing was perfect. Both I and Mr.H ordered our regular sizes and the fit was comfortable. So comfortable that now Mr.H likes using it daily. I have been impressed with the jacket as well - its performance on the mountain trails was as we were hoping it would be. We feel that the Cross Penine jackets from Regatta would be ideal for countryside walks, moderate mountain walking and of course as a daily use jacket. Overall, we both liked the products we were sent and would recommend them to anyone looking for good and affordable outdoor gear.
You can check out Regatta's website for more details.
We were sent these products by Regatta in exchange for our honest opinion.

Home Indian Defense Should India Insist On Large Warships After Sinking of Russia's Moskva? The Lesson Not To Take
Should India Insist On Large Warships After Sinking of Russia's Moskva? The Lesson Not To Take
by thesquadron.in April 19, 2022
written by thesquadron.in April 19, 2022 0 comment
by Lt Gen (Dr) Prakash Menon (Retd)
On 14 April, Moskva, the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, sank off the coast of Ukraine, in the Black Sea. A controversy immediately surfaced regarding the causes of the loss. The Russians attributed the loss to an accidental fire on board while Ukraine claimed that two of its Neptune Missiles had struck the vessel. US officials have backed Ukraine's claims. Time should reveal the truth. But for now, the controversy is the poster for the escalation of the Ukraine war that suggests that the war is expanding in its reach, both physically and psychologically. The challenge in judging escalation is that while physical factors can be measured, the intangible nature of the psychological part is mystifying and debatable.
The physical loss of Moskva is a major psychological blow to Russia's naval power. The loss is layered over its geographic disadvantages that emanate from Russia's restricted access to the waters of the Black Sea. The access is controlled by Turkey under the Montreux Convention of 1936, which gives it rights to limit transit during wartime through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits that connect the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, with an exemption for naval ships returning to their home bases. In early March, Turkey called for all sides to respect the Convention. The stance was appreciated by the US since it puts Russia at a disadvantage because it cannot provide a replacement for the Moskva. Its Black Sea naval capability will, therefore, stand impaired as long as the war endures.
The loss of a key surface naval asset to cruise missiles provides fodder to buttress some arguments in an ongoing global debate within maritime powers. The debate is an offshoot of a larger debate on the survivability of large platforms like aircraft carriers due to their vulnerability to precision-guided munitions like cruise missiles. It is a debate that is particularly relevant to India and one that continues to animate the Indian Navy's insistence on the continued relevance of the aircraft carrier.
Vulnerable Warships On The Sea
Technological advancements in surveillance capabilities that are networked with missiles based on air, land, and sea platforms have certainly increased the vulnerability of surface naval assets. Accuracy is significantly improved by using a combination of Global Positioning Signals (GPS), laser guidance and inertial navigation systems. Simultaneously, the development of countermeasures also reduces the vulnerability factor. It is a cat-and-mouse game in technology development that mostly tends to favour the attacker over the defender. The obvious route for the attacker is to overwhelm the defender's ability by firing a large number of missiles simultaneously on the same target. Also, the pace of development and cost of missiles that can penetrate the defender's missile shield is quicker and cheaper than developing and fielding missile defences.
Many smaller mobile offensive military assets have therefore been touted as the way ahead. Development of long-range cruise and ballistic missiles has ensued. China's DF-21D and DF-26 anti-ship ballistic missiles, Russia's Kaliber anti-ship cruise missile and US' Tomahawk cruise missiles are the exemplars.
The effectiveness and the risk posed by such missiles continue to be debated. Some believe that though the risk exists, surface ships should be able to operate effectively.
India's Choice Now
India's aircraft carrier debate is juxtaposed with options available due to its geographic setting. Peninsular India juts out like a knife into the Indian Ocean and bestows it with the potential to use its vast coastline and island territories like the Andaman and Nicobar in the East and Lakshadweep in the West to provide missile bases that can cover strategically important areas of the Indian Ocean region.
Developing long-range missiles has been a quest that India continues to strive for. Doctrinally, India has confined most of its its ballistic missile capability to the domain of nuclear weapons while cruise missiles are restricted to conventional warheads. The segregation is believed to strengthen stability in crisis and combat. India's BrahMos missile, which has been co-developed with Russia, is currently the mainstay of its indigenous cruise missile capability that can be based on land, sea and air platforms.
While all three configurations can be mobile, land-based missiles have to compete with the potential reach conferred by the mobility of sea and air-based platforms. Striking a balance between the three is a military planning decision point that requires a Joint-Services approach. It is specifically challenged by the availability of budgetary and technological support. Progress in the indigenous development of cruise missiles is running ahead of progress in air and sea-based platforms like aircraft and ships.
A case exists for prioritising and expediting the production of cruise missiles and their deployment on island territories that are supported by surveillance capabilities. It would cost much less than bases for fighter aircraft. As regards the aircraft carrier debate, till such time the functions performed by it are replaced by alternative platforms, the enhanced risk to the existing assets will have to be accepted and measures taken to mitigate it. For me, it is still difficult to imagine India's growth as a maritime power without its surface and sub-surface capability not being anchored in aircraft carriers, surface ships and submarines. Platform size, form and numbers may change but their essential functions as part of naval capability are irreplaceable in the surfeit of roles that they can undertake.
Moskva rests at the bottom of the Black Sea and its loss could animate India's maritime debate involving large naval ships. But the warning sign that must hang over it, is that its relevance to the Indian context can be different.

Americas Glass Association Meets with Fire Administration, Glass Association Officials
Donn Harter, director of technical services for the Americas Glass Association (AGA), reports that the association's July board meeting saw opportunities for forging alliances with two different groups.
On July 29, members of AGA's Fire and Safety Glazing Council (FSGC) steering committee met at the Orange County, Calif., Airport Hilton with Robert Neale, deputy superintendent of the U. S. Fire Administration (USFA), a division of the Department of Homeland Security. The purpose of this meeting was to promote dialogue between the glazing industry and the USFA to develop on-going educational programs on fire-rated glazing.
During the meeting, Neale offered the following four major goals:
Educate architects and code officials to make knowledgeable, consistent and confident decisions about glass and ceramic products;
Improve relationships between fire and building officials for applications and interpretations of the use of glass and ceramic products;
Educate architects and code officials about the capabilities and limitations of fire-rated glazing, intumescent and ceramic products; and
Keep code officials informed of new products and techniques in the use of glass and ceramic products.
Neale and the committee members discussed several means of implementation for these items, including coffee break training sessions, online training, two day courses for building officials through the International Code Council (ICC) and the development of a brochure outlining a glossary of terms, types of glass and standards that apply.
Harter described the FSGC's development of one tool, the "Matrix," a listing of all of the manufactured fire-rated glazing products and their rated use for protection, radiant heat resistance and safety glazing. This brochure is expected to be available online in the near future.
Representatives of the glass association agreed that the opportunity to work more closely with the USFA in forging close working relationships between building officials, the National Fire Protection Association, testing laboratories, architects and fire officials with the glass and glazing industry was a priority challenge.
At the July AGA Board meeting, GANA Executive VP Bill Yanek presented to the board an overview of current GANA efforts. Additionally, Yanek discussed with the AGA board areas where GANA and AGA should contemplate collaborating. These areas include:
Joint advocacy efforts by GANA and AGA on fire-rated glazing issues. Such efforts could include a close alliance between GANA's Fire Rated Glazing Council and AGA's Fire & Safety Glazing Council;
Development of joint educational seminars;
A concerted effort to harmonize advocacy on building and fire code amendments to the building code between the Glazing Industry Code Committee (GICC) and the AGA;
Developing a united advocacy effort on energy issues, which could include producing a workable solution for meeting the Department of Energy onsite glazing requirements and joint efforts on issues being debated by the National Fenestration Rating Council;
Establishing a realistic means of offering each association's publications through their respective bookstores;
Offering GANA the opportunity to present an educational seminar at AGA's Glass Showcase and potentially having AGA present its code seminar at a GANA meeting.
"Whether the issue involves building codes, industry education or energy, AGA and GANA should forge a closer working relationship," Yanek told USGNN.com/USGlass regarding the discussion on the associations' relationship. "Importantly, AGA boasts a significant California membership. State level efforts in California impact the rest of the country. With GANA and AGA collaborating on advocacy efforts, both the AGA and GANA will impact California and national issues more effectively."
The AGA board continued its meeting with a report on the progress of the Matrix, membership evaluation, codes and industry standards report, and plans for the May 15-16, 2009, Americas Glass Showcase at South Point Casino & Resort in Las Vegas.
The next AGA board meeting is scheduled for November 11, 2008, in San Diego.

I show how to convert from the Elo ratings of a backgammon player and their opponent and match length to the theoretical probability of winning. I simulate a simple two player backgammon forum to show how Elo ratings vary at random around players 'true' skill level. Along the way, I demonstrate making animated graphics for a webpage.
Backgammon clubs and on-line forums use a modified form of the Elo rating system to keep track of how well individuals have played and draw inferences about their underlying strength. The higher the rating, the stronger the player. Players with higher ratings are inferred to be stronger than those with lower ratings and hence are expected to win; and the longer the match, the more likely the greater skill level will overcome the random chance of the dice. The animated plot below shows the expected probabilities of two players in the FIBS (First Internet Backgammon Server) internet forum, where players start at 1500 and the very best reach over 2000.
Now, here's how I made that animation. In the R code below, first, I load up some functionality and the Google font I use for this blog. Then I define a function that estimates the probability of a player winning using the FIBS formula above.
Create all the combinations of two players' Elo ratings.
Compile the images into a single animated Gif using ImageMagick.
The estimated probability of winning against a certain opponent at a given match length might be of interest to backgammon players (I'm surprised it's not referred to more often), but its most common use is embedded in the calculation of how much each player's Elo rating changes after a match is decided. That formula is well explained by FIBS and a little involved so I won't spell it out here, but you can see it in action in the function I provide later in this post. A key point for our purposes is that as the win/loss of a match is a random event, players' Elo ratings which are based on those events are random variables. Even if we grant the existence of a "real" value for each player, it is unobservable, and can only be estimated by their actual Elo rating in a tournament or internet forum.
The results are shown in the chart below, and in this unrealistically simple scenario there's more variation than I'd realised there would be. Player A's actual Elo rating fluctuates fairly wildly around the true value (which can be calculated as 1578.75), hitting 1650 several times and dropping nearly all the way to 1500 at one point.
Here's the code for that simulation, including my R function that provides FIBS-style Elo ratings, adjusted for experience as set out by FIBS.
In this situation, the resulting player's Elo rating bouncing around at random is quite well modelled by an autoregressive AR(1) time series model with an intercept at the "true" level of the player's skill. With an autoregression parameter of around 0.98, the rating at any point in time is obviously very closely related to the previous rating; almost but not quite a random walk. Showing how and why would make this post too long, but it's a useful factoid to note for future work when we come to more realistic and complex simulations of Elo ratings on FIBS.


ARIES (March 20-April 18): Careful how you word an agreement because what bars others may one day be held against you. Consider what you stand to gain in the long run.
TAURUS (April 19-May 19): One thing colleagues associate you with is fair-mindedness. It's why they will take what you have to say so seriously. You should too.
GEMINI (May 20-June 19): Careful. Someone is deliberately egging you into crossing the line, because once done you're out of bounds and vulnerable. Hug the wall.
CANCER (June 20-July 21): It took a while to realize that loyalties were misplaced. Now that the penny finally dropped, you'll move relentlessly to do what's right.
LEO (July 22-August 21): Your need to be right gets in the way of doing the right thing. It's one or the other. Don't let pride block you from your heart's desire.
VIRGO (August 22-September 21): You can't disavow a judgment call. You saw things one way; others saw it another. Standing by what you believe transcends right and wrong.
LIBRA (September 22-October 22): What it gets down to in the end is that the person you're pitching to doesn't really need anything new. Be happy to take what you can get.
SCORPIO (October 23-November 20): You thought you were solvent, but a last minute reversal eats away at gains. Don't fight. Pay up. This way you'll preserve what remains.
SAGITTARIUS (November 21-December 20): As you emerge from your shell you'll start to feel like your old self. People who entered your life recently are in for a surprise.
CAPRICORN (December 21-January 18): It's one of those rare times when you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Eat up! You'll be back tilling the soil before you know it.
AQUARIUS (January 19-February 17): Make sure everyone else has done their part before putting in your share. You may have been maneuvered into taking on an unfair burden.
PISCES (February 18-March 19): Belief that superiors get their way and you don't is a recipe for disaster. It leads you to be underhanded when an upfront approach is best.

Mr. President: An Evening with Martin Sheen
Tuesday, January 19, 2021 - 6:30 p.m. ET
Martin Sheen's acting career spans more than five decades, including films like Apocalypse Now and Badlands, but to millions he is known simply as President Josiah Bartlet in the mold-breaking series The West Wing. Winning a Golden Globe and two Screen Actors Guild Awards for this role, he created an indelible portrait of a popular Democratic president trying to lead the country while in conflict with the Republican-dominated Congress. What became the hallmark of his character and the show was an emphasis on what goes on behind the scenes, the discussions and decision-making the public never sees.
In conversation with Ken Walsh, award-winning White House correspondent and columnist for U.S. News & World Report, Sheen discusses his iconic role, as well the impact of The West Wing on television's depiction of government and how we view our real-life national leaders.

The PgConf.Russia is a non-commercial event, registration fee and sponsor contributions are aimed to cover the operational costs of organizers.
contribute to the growth of Russian PostgreSQL-community.
Conferences like this give people a personal feeling for the software. You can understand why people are passioned about it. They get confidence in using it and confidence that the software is gonna be around for a long time. The conference has people who is responsible for and designing Postgres. And I really think it excites to continue using Postgres.
This is a very technically oriented conference. There is a lot of knowledge sharing happening. A lot of really talented people. And it is also for us a great opportunity to tap into the Russian market, a very interesting market for Postgres.

Court Rules Your Phone's Passcode Is Protected
A new ruling protects your password from police.
By Matthew Strauss
Filed Under Pornography & Privacy
A new ruling out of a Pennsylvania district court has found that forcing someone to reveal their smartphone passcode violates the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
"Pleading the Fifth" has become a regularly used idiom. It basically boils down to the right to not incriminate yourself, or as Jefferson and the Boys wrote:
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
In the case, Securities and Exchange Commission v. Bonan Huang, et al., Judge Mark Kearney ruled that because the defendants — "data analysts for Capital One" — were specifically told by their employer "to not keep records of their personal passcodes for security reasons," the passcodes exist solely in their minds:
The passcodes do not belong to the corporation and are not in its records, so the defendants do not have to reveal them. In addition, the SEC could not prove "with 'reasonable peculiarity'" that necessary documents — which, in this case, could be evidence of insider trading — exist behind the passcodes.
The ruling is at the district court level, so it's legally possible to appeal up to the Supreme Court. Still, the ruling is another win for personal privacy — even if the guys in question had some shady dealings. It's the same precedent from In re: Grand Jury Duces Tecum Dated March 25, 2011, which Kearney cites in his ruling. In In re, a child pornography suspect was not forced to decrypt his hard drive because it "would require the use of the contents of [the suspect]'s mind and could not be fairly characterized as a physical act that would be nontestimonial in nature." Again, an allegedly very bad person doing heinous things was protected, but that's America! Innocent until proven guilty.
As our personal lives become increasingly digitized, it is important that our physical rights follow us into cyberspace. The ruling from SEC v. Bonan Huang protects individuals — no matter how awful — and the personal content stored on their devices.
