I grew up in the U.S. and never had the opportunity to see the wonderful Canadian instructional TV series called Bits and Bytes that taught people how to use a computer. This series consisted of 12 episodes that ran from 1983 to 1984 right in the peak of personal computing in the early 1980s. The series covered topics such as software, programming, modems, education, games, graphics, and music. Each episode features several different popular computers at the time including the Apple II, TRS-80, PET, TI, and of course the Atari 800. These are fun to watch but can be a bit tedious at times as they step the naive user through simple things like turning the computer on. I summarize below the episodes and times where the Atari 800 makes an appearance.
All of the 12 episodes can be found on YouTube.
This episode mostly features the Apple II but the Atari 800 is briefly introduced at 18:39.
Some Atari education software is mentioned at 1:19. An Atari 800 with three 810 drives and an 822 thermal printer can be found at 15:55. The segment at 18:00 shows the host loading Conversational French on an Atari 800 using the 410 cassette recorder. They then introduce the idea of a cartridge with the Atari 800 at 24:36. Interestingly, they call it a "ROM pack".
This episode seems to exclusively focus on the PET. No mention of Atari.
This episode features at Atari 800 and 810 disk drive at 18:58. They use it in this segment with Filemanager 800 from Synapse to illustrate saving data in a database.
No Atari computers in this episode. They do have a cool scene though at 22:50 with three PETs talking to each other.
The Atari 800 is briefly mentioned at 19:37 as one of the few computers that didn't have BASIC built in.
No Atari computer is shown here but they do show the My First Alphabet software for the Atari 800 at 11:40.
The Lemonade stand simulation is featured on the Atari 800 at 9:47. The Scram nuclear power simulation is featured at 11:15. A nice interview with Chris Crawford from Atari talking about Eastern Front and Scram is at 16:30.
No Atari in this one!
Player Piano on the Atari 800 is featured right off the bat at 0:50.
This episode focuses mostly on the IBM PC. No Atari.
Episode 12 – What Next?
No Atari in this episode.
These episode are a lot of fun to watch. I was happy to see that the Atari 800 was featured in many of the episodes. I definitely recommend watching as many of these as you can. There was another series in 1991 but I didn't watch those.

Dell EMC President David Goulden speaks to reporters and analysts Monday after the opening keynote of Dell EMC World 2017.
Dell is catering to the small and medium-sized business market with new IT solutions and pricing models.
Small and medium-sized businesses have an equal seat at the table alongside larger enterprises in the minds of Dell Technologies executives. In some respects, they say, they're even better at adopting new technology than their larger counterparts.
Speaking at the Dell EMC World conference in Las Vegas this week, Dell executives acknowledged that SMBs, and small businesses in particular, face challenges when updating their IT systems due to fewer resources and lack of personnel. However, they argue that Dell's new flexible cloud-like pricing for IT purchasing and consumption will make it easier for small businesses to adopt new technologies. And, they say, SMBs are often more nimble than enterprises in general.
Speaking to reporters and analysts after the opening keynote on Monday, Dell EMC President David Goulden said that "we do very much view the portfolio as not just being for the big enterprises, but scaling down." He acknowledged that "not every aspect of the portfolio scales down to a small or medium business," and that the company would generally not spend a lot of time talking to an SMB customer about its VMAX All Flash storage system designed for enterprises, for example.
However, Goulden noted that Dell EMC has about 40,000 sales and sales support personnel worldwide, and that the SMB portion of that salesforce is slightly bigger. "We've absolutely got a very strong focus [on] small and medium-sized business," he said.
Dell EMC finds that SMBs have some advantages, Goulden said. "Typically, they haven't got 25 years of legacy [equipment] in their data center," he said. "They can transition more quickly.
"They can be more nimble when it comes to digital transformation," or IT, workforce or security transformations, he added.
Erik Day, vice president and general manager of North American Small Business for Dell, said that since Dell's merger last fall with EMC, the two companies have learned from each other about how to sell solutions. Dell's heritage had been in the SMB market while EMC typically targeted enterprises customers.
Day said that Dell is, in his opinion, the only true "omnichannel partner to SMBs," meaning that Dell has a "massive direct" sales engine but, "especially now, with the addition of CDW as a partner, we have a massive channel engine." If Dell cannot provide the right solution for a growing small business directly, he said, a channel partner like CDW can.
"We tailor the solution based on the services we provide that can support that business," Day said. "If they have a smaller IT staff, we ensure they have the right services," such as Dell Pro Support.
One of the solutions Dell wants to introduce to the SMB market is its new VxRail hyperconverged infrastructure appliance. Goulden said the entry-level price point of $25,000 is in reach for many SMBs. However, Dell wants to make it easier for SMBs to adopt hypconverged solutions, which combine computing, storage, networking and virtualization capabilities, all preintegrated and controlled by a single management layer.
The company acknowledged that SMBs face barriers that include upfront costs and perceived risk of a new IT operating model.
Dell's new Cloud Flex for HCI pricing via Dell Financial Services (DFS) offers small businesses a cloud-like consumption model for hyperconverged infrastructure. The plan is being pitched as a flexible financing solution that eliminates upfront capital costs with declining payments over time. There is no obligation after the first year and the plan allows customers to return any or all HCI appliances. Cloud Flex for HCI is available immediately with Dell EMC VxRail appliances and Dell EMC XC Series, and has planned availability in summer 2017 for Dell EMC VxRack Systems.
Day's group, Goulden's group and a group led by Allison Dew, senior vice president of end user computer marketing at Dell, are working together to figure out how to better market products like VxRail to SMB customers.
The Cloud Flex model is something that will be targeted at the SMB market, Day said, adding that the model is already being employed for cloud bundles.
Where are small businesses investing in technology? Day said the answer is dependent on what part of its IT transformation journey the business is on. Newer companies with younger employees are more likely to be comfortable with the cloud and do not have as much legacy IT infrastructure, he said. Some SMBs are still buying Windows 7 devices because of proprietary software or services they have.
Ultimately, small businesses want speed and security from IT, Day said. They typically do not have a lot of IT staff and require technology that just works. "The more they can have things be managed more seamlessly, the more time they have to work with customers and make more money," he said. Small businesses are also focused on the security of their customer data and intellectual property.

Q: Solution of $2$ differential equations with $2$ dependent variables. The question simply asks to find the solution of differential equations $\frac{dy}{dx} = 2y+z$ and $\frac{dz}{dx}=3y$ that satisfy the relation:
a)  $(y + z)e^{3x} = k$
b)  $(3y + z)e^{-3x} = k$
c)  $(3y + z)e^{3x} = k$
d)  $(y - z)e^{3x} = k$

I began by integrating the second differential equation $w.r.t.x$  and got
$$ z = 3xy$$
and substituted this into the first equation and integrated again $\text{w.r.t. } x$
$$y = 2yx + \frac{3yx^{2}}{z}$$
I do not know how to proceed from here.
NB: This isn't a homework question. Practicing for an examination

A: We have
$$y''-2y'-3y=0\implies y=Ae^{-x}+Be^{3x}$$
$$\frac{dz}{dx}=3y=3Ae^{-x}+3Be^{3x}\implies z=-3Ae^{-x}+Be^{3x}+C$$
Then
$$3y+z=4Be^{3x}+C\implies(3y+z)e^{-3x}=k$$
where $k=4B+Ce^{-3x}$

A universal magazine pouch can hold most rifle magazines, such as M16 / M14 / AUG / G36 / G3 series.
If you're in the same position that I was in, you'll agree that finding good pouches for G36 or AK magazines is quite a challenge.
I bought this pouch, somewhat skeptical that it would be right. Boy, was I glad to be proved wrong!
In fact, I was so impressed that I bought a total of three, to hold enough magazines for me to milsim with.
The magazine glides in and out of the pouch without much effort, At 1000D Cordura, I have no question that these pouches will tolerate everything I'll put them through, and more.

1937 MG TA - Excellent restored example with MG Registration
Note: This car has been reserved for another customer
The replacement for the 'PB' Series Midget came in the form of the all - new 'T' Series model midway through 1936 This was an entirely new design with a 7" longer wheelbase and increased track, giving much improved comfort and considerably more room in the cockpit.
The engine was now an OHV unit of 1.3 litres developing 50 bhp which gave a top speed approaching 80 mph. Priced at £222 ex works, the TA - is it became retrospectively known - represented very good value. Some 3003 were produced before production ceased in 1939 and the 'TB' was introduced.
This fine blue example was first registered on 1st March 1937. Acquired by the current family in 1991, the car underwent a chassis-up restoration during the 1990s and has been lovingly cared for since.
It is to the original specification and is fitted with a delightful period radio, as well as the essential luggage rack. Bearing the original registration number of MG 5234, the car has the correct set of tools and a large file of documentation.
For initial enquiries and to arrange an appointment to view - please call us on 01420-474919 or 07710-364945. Our Motor Cars are presented at The Garage in Hampshire, which is well-lit, dehumidified and has 24 hour CCTV.

CareGuide Sets Sight on Rapid Growth
Toronto-based CareGuide has closed its seed round and attracted venture backing from 35 prominent investors in Canada and the US.
CareGuide manages a portfolio of five websites, including Sitter.com, ElderCare.com, PetSitter.com, Housekeeper.com, and HouseSitter.com, matching people with these services in cities across Canada and the US. For a bootstrapped startup that just entered its second year, and managed to hack that hockey stick growth with only two employees, closing a successful seed round spells validation.
The list of investors in CareGuide reads like an all-stars concert lineup. Ryan Holmes of Hootsuite, Brian Sharwood, cofounder of HomeStars, Ameet Shah who sold Five Mobile to Zynga, Alex Black, Derek Szeto, who sold RedFlagDeals to Yellow Pages, Toronto's own Daniel Debow, who sold Rypple to Salesforce, Mike Silagadze of Top Hat, Jevon MacDonald, Ben Yoskovitz and many more.
John Philip Green partnered with Jesse Rasch and launched CareGuide with all five marketplaces at the same time, about a year and a half ago. "The nature of building for local marketplaces is that it's hard to get started, because you have a chicken and an egg problem. It's hard to get demand if you don't have supply, and vice versa. It took some ingenuity to grow our initial user-base, but once we got to listings in the thousands, it took a life on its own. We now have 150,000 listings across all our sites," John Green, the founder and chief executive dad at CareGuide, told BetaKit. "When we launched our sites, we addressed all of Canada and the US from day one. We've built for scale. And we have done it profitably."
Profitable and growing fast
When a startup turns into a profitable business, founders often face a choice. Continue bootstrapping and grow by reinvesting profits or raise money, often as a step to prepare for round A in the pursuit of rapid growth.
CareGuide chose to knock on doors of other entrepreneurs and bring them on board as investors.
"Today we have 35 committed investors, which is extraordinary! We got there by focusing on other entrepreneurs to get this going, people that raised money before, people who truly get it because they've been through it themselves. They were all able to make decisions quickly," Green said. "The response we have seen from investors really exceeded our expectations."
What do investors want?
BetaKit reached out to three investors who put their money on the line for CareGuide, and asked why they decided to invest.
Ameet Shah looks forward to watching CareGuide grow. "This space was ripe for disruption with an inflow of potential customers used to searching, validating and transacting online. As the service economy grows, so will the demand for technology to create a more efficient ecosystem, and CareGuide addresses this from day one. The approach that the team is taking has been proven in other parallel industries, but it's still relatively new to the caregiving space. Finally, John really impressed me with his ability to execute in both past and present endeavors."
Benjamin Yoskovitz said Green impressed him as a "top-notch founder, who executes incredibly well" and whose product shows traction. "I dug into the core metrics of the business and was very impressed. John's "cracked the nut" on how to build out the CareGuide sites, and now he is scaling. It's a great time to invest because he's already proven a few key things: demand exists and the markets are big; and he has built the right product to meet the demand, based on the current traction and metrics."
Daniel Debow can't wait to see what's next for CareGuide, and called Green "a great entrepreneur with a proven track record of building products, teams and companies. He's bootstrapped CareGuide to amazing traction and is showing phenomenal growth on a proven model."
Normally companies that focus on local marketplaces, like Uber or Yelp start out in one city and grow from there, which makes CareGuide an ambitious outlier. And yet, while business costs stayed flat, its revenues keep rising. CareGuide is relying exclusively on organic traffic, according to Green, and doesn't pay for traffic at all, not even through Google ads.
CareGuide is currently based in ShinyAds' office at that famously startupy corner of Queen and Spadina in Toronto. Within the next couple of months, CareGuide plans to find its first community manager, fill an engineering position and add a designer to the team.

Why Is It So Hard To Vote In America? And What Can We Do to Fix It?
This November, many voters will go to the polls with new voting restrictions in place. Craigconnects and the Brennan Center explored how that may affect voters.
This November, voters in 16 states will head to the polls with new voting restrictions in place for the first time in a high-stakes presidential election. Instead of limiting who can cast a ballot, we should make voting more accessible and convenient for every American.
Automatically and securely registering every eligible voter can add up to 50 million eligible voters to our rolls, cut costs, and reduce the potential for fraud.

I know exactly what Staples was writing about in his article, and I've employed similar strategies (though my command of Beethoven and Vivaldi isn't extensive enough for me to use that tactic). It's weird and, I suspect on some level crazy-making, to feel that your very presence in the world is perceived as a threat. I have no idea what to do with that. Thanks for the post.

You're welcome. And I'm glad you liked it. Unfortunately, it's been a struggle for me to address this very painful issue in my blog, which is why I have yet to delve as deeply into this subject as I one day hope. All encouragement is appreciated.

I've had a very difficult time talking and writing about this too, whether on my own blog or elsewhere. Just reading your post, I could feel my own emotions coming to the surface, and it's difficult to know what to do with them or how they will be received. I have no doubt that being perceived as a "less threatening" Black man has made aspects of my life easier. But it all takes a toll, and trying to express that, whether to Blacks who haven't had that advantage or to whites who don't even know what we're talking about, feels like preparing to climb a mountain. But reading your post has brought it to the forefront for me, and that's a good thing. I'm really glad you broached this subject.

Wrexham Based Dairy Expanding.
Family- owned Tomlinson's Dairies, based at Minera, Wrexham, have unveiled expansion plans for their liquid milk processing plant. The new 70,000 sq ft factory will enable them to increase their processing capacity from 25 million litres to 100 million litres of milk every year.
The business was established in 1983 by brothers Philip and John Tomlinson as a doorstep round in the Wrexham area using milk from the family's own dairy farm next door to the existing plant. The plant currently processes milk from approximately 30 local farmers and now supplied milk and cream to more than 300 outlets across Wales and North West England. The new dairy will create between 70 and 80 jobs and is expected to be commissioned next summer.

The FBI raided Donald Trump's home in Mar-a-Lago.
Today at 00:11, updated at 00:28
The FBI conducted a massive operation to build Donald Trump in Mar-A-Lago in Florida, where the former US president moved after leaving the White House.
"These are dark times for our nation as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, overrun and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a president. United States," Donald Trump said this Monday evening in a statement quoted by the American press in which he spoke about the police operation.
USA. Trump wanted to have a military parade without injuries because they "didn't decorate it"
USA. "We have to be tough, dirty and evil." Trump returns to Washington after 18 months
USA. Trump accuses Capitol riot control committee of 'judicial fraud'
Mar-a-Lago development in Palm Beach, Florida
"After working and cooperating with the relevant government agencies, this unannounced raid was neither necessary nor appropriate."
Neither Donald Trump nor the FBI, the US federal police, have explained why the authorities are enforcing the court order. The former president used a text in which he exposed the actions of the police to accuse the Democrats of persecuting him using the judicial system, and said that such an operation could only happen in a "third world country." "They even broke into my safe," Donald Trump said, comparing the case to the Watergate scandal.
According to The New York Times, citing two people familiar with the process, the investigation will focus on materials that will be taken to Florida after leaving the White House, including pages of classified documents. Trump was forced to return 15 boxes of materials requisitioned by the National Archives after he was threatened with legal action.
The U.S. is going through a tough time with the investigation into the Capitol invasion and Donald Trump's attempts to stay in power by alleging fraud in the presidential election. In recent days, some members of the government closest to the former president have been called in with statements about interference in the process of passing power.

Vladimir Putin has delayed the invasion of Ukraine at least three times.
Putin has repeatedly consulted with Russian Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu about the invasion, Europa Press told Ukraine's chief intelligence director Vadim Skibitsky.
According to Skibitsky, it was the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), which is responsible for counterintelligence and espionage work, that put pressure on Gerasimov and other military agencies to agree to launch an offensive. .
However, according to the Ukrainian intelligence services, the FSB considered that by the end of February sufficient preparations had already been made to guarantee the success of the Russian Armed Forces in a lightning invasion.
However, according to Kyiv, the Russian General Staff provided the Russian troops with supplies and ammunition for only three days, hoping that the offensive would be swift and immediately successful.
The head of Ukrainian intelligence also emphasized the cooperation of local residents, who always provided the Ukrainian authorities with up-to-date information about the Russian army, such as the number of soldiers or the exact location of troops.
The military offensive launched on February 24 by Russia in Ukraine caused at least 6.5 million internally displaced persons and more than 7.8 million refugees to European countries, which is why the UN classifies this migration crisis as the worst in Europe since World War II (1939-1945). gg.). ).
At the moment, 17.7 million Ukrainians are in need of humanitarian assistance, and 9.3 million are in need of food aid and housing.
The UN has presented as confirmed 6,755 civilian deaths and 10,607 wounded since the beginning of the war, stressing that these figures are much lower than the real ones.

Life sentence for former Swedish official for spying for Russia
JN/Subsidiaries
Yesterday at 22:18
A Stockholm court on Monday sentenced a former Swedish intelligence officer to life in prison for spying for Russia, and his brother to at least 12 years in prison. In what is considered one of the most serious cases in Swedish counterintelligence history, much of the trial took place behind closed doors in the name of national security.
According to the prosecution, it was Russian military intelligence, the GRU, who took advantage of the information provided by the two brothers between 2011 and their arrest at the end of 2021.
Peyman Kia, 42, has held many senior positions in the Swedish security apparatus, including the army and his country's intelligence services (Säpo). His younger brother, Payam, 35, is accused of "participating in the planning" of the plot and of "managing contacts with Russia and the GRU, including passing on information and receiving financial rewards."
Both men deny the charges, and their lawyers have demanded an acquittal on charges of "aggravated espionage," according to the Swedish news agency TT.
The trial coincides with another case of alleged Russian espionage, with the arrest of the Russian-born couple in late November in a suburb of Stockholm by a police team arriving at dawn in a Blackhawk helicopter.
Research website Bellingcat identified them as Sergei Skvortsov and Elena Kulkova. The couple allegedly acted as sleeper agents for Moscow, having moved to Sweden in the late 1990s.
According to Swedish press reports, the couple ran companies specializing in the import and export of electronic components and industrial technology.

The man was again detained at the end of November for "illegal intelligence activities." His partner, suspected of being an accomplice, has been released but remains under investigation.
According to Swedish authorities, the arrests are not related to the trial of the Kia brothers.
Ukraine admitted that Russia may announce a general mobilization
"They can strengthen their positions. We understand that this can happen. At the same time, we do not rule out that they will announce a general mobilization," Danilov said in an interview with the Ukrainska Pravda online publication.
Danilov believed that this mobilization would also be convened "to exterminate as many as possible" of Russian citizens, so that "they would no longer have any problems on their territory."
In this sense, Danilov also reminded that Russia has not given up on securing control over Kyiv or the idea of the complete "destruction" of Ukraine. "We have to be ready for anything," he said.
"I want everyone to understand that [os russos] they have not given up on the idea of destroying our nation. If they don't have Kyiv in their hands, they won't have anything in their hands, we must understand this," continued Danilov, who also did not rule out that a new Russian offensive would come from "Belarus and other territories." .
As such, Danilov praised the decision of many of its residents who chose to stay in the Ukrainian capital when the war broke out in order to defend the city.
"They expected that there would be panic, that people would run, that there would be nothing to protect Kyiv," he added, referring to President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Russian invasion, justified by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the need to "denazify" and demilitarize Ukraine for Russia's security, was condemned by the international community at large, which responded by sending weapons to Ukraine and imposing political and economic sanctions on Russia.

ArulPrasad's Tech Blog: Adobe planning a move into the Office tools market?
Adobe planning a move into the Office tools market?
My best guess would be: They'd acquire buzzword for the word processor element; acquire sliderocket, and they'll have a presentation tool; right now i don't remember any spreadsheet program on flash, but well, a wrapper over the new enhanced datagrid would suffice it?
And these apps would work on the browser using flash player, or u can take them standalone, using AIR.
Of course, these are just some of my personal assumptions, but what I know for sure is adobe (read adobe-ians) likes buzzword and sliderocket - a lot. If they were to really get into office tools development, they would seriously consider getting these two apps.
And if adobe can have all these apps ready around the time AIR makes its debut, AIR adoption is definitely gonna sky rocket!


There's more than one path to take when it comes to home care.
Home care agencies: what they do, how they do it, how much they cost, and the alternatives.
If you're starting to think about potential care, your two main options are home care, and care homes. Home care is the most desirable option for the majority, with an overwhelming 90% of seniors preferring to age in their own home.
Home care agencies cater to this market, and are one of the most widespread methods of finding a home carer. In this guide, we look at everything you need to know about home care agencies, so you can make an informed decision when it comes to finding a carer that suits you.
What are home care agencies?
Home care agencies are one of the three ways you can find a home carer.
They remain one of the most dominant methods of finding care in the UK, although this is changing rapidly as the home care market matures and other solutions arise.
A home care agency employs a number of carers, who are sent out to clients on a case-by-case basis as requested. The client – that's you – pays the agency not the carer, and the agency pay their carers according to their own internal policy.
Home care agencies can support you with a range of care needs, ranging from live in, personal care, post-op care to lighter companionship roles.
A personal assistance carer can help with personal care routines such as washing, using the bathroom, grooming, eating, dressing or getting in and out of bed. They might also help with taking you to and from appointments, ensuring medication is taken on time, and with admin or paperwork.
A companion carer can help with the above tasks too, or they can simply pop in on a daily, weekly or ad-hoc basis for a coffee and a chat. Their main function is to provide company, to combat the challenges of elderly loneliness.
It might be that you need a specialised carer. For example, you'll often find carers who have particular experience caring for elderly people with dementia. Finding a carer who has the specific condition experience you're looking for, and who has the right personality fit with you or your loved one, can be tough, and we'll look at that below.
There are pros and cons to using a home care agency.
The big advantage, which is one of the reasons they've remained popular in spite of the disadvantages, is that they're relatively quick and convenient. Until recently, there hasn't really been another option besides finding a carer yourself, which can be a lot of hassle and isn't as safe and secure as it could be.
The other advantage is that you have the support of an overarching organisation, which means you don't have to worry about sickness or holiday cover. Home care agencies verify their carers too, so you know any carer you're sent will have had their references and CRB/DBS checked.
The big disadvantage, which is why home care agencies are becoming less popular, is the loss of control. Not only do you pay a whopping agency commission, but you're rarely able to choose a carer yourself.
You'll often be sent whoever's available on the day, even if you're using the agency long-term. This can be unsettling for older people who might struggle to build up trust with an ongoing stream of strangers.
In most cases, care isn't purely physical but is mental and emotional too, which means that personality is incredibly important. Using an agency means that individual personalities aren't taken into account. If the carer has the relevant skills, you're mostly stuck with them, even if you don't like them.
How much do home care agencies cost?
It's difficult to give an exact figure because home care agencies set their own prices and their own commission. However, agencies are consistently the most expensive way to find care.
It would be nice if the high fee was reflected in higher carer wages, but it's not. Home care agencies are known for paying their staff very little in order to take a big cut for themselves. For more information, check out this guide to home care costs from Paying for Care, and remember, agency fees will be added on top of these figures.
Related topic 24 Hour Live-in Home Care: What is it, and is it a good idea?
You can find a home care agency using the Care Services Directory on the Which? website.
If you're looking for home care, but don't think a home care agency is the right option for you – don't worry! Until recently, there wasn't much of an alternative, but that's changing.
Following the highly successful US model, HomeTouch is revolutionising the London care market. We're an introductory platform, making it simple for you to find home care. Our complex algorithm suggests relevant carers to you, on the basis of location, skills, experience, interests and passions.
We've interviewed each carer extensively and done all their reference and CRB/DBS checks, but you choose a carer that best fits your needs. You can work with one carer long-term, or mix-and-match depending on when you need cover – crucially, you maintain control. All our carers are self-employed so they can set their own rates.
If you want the security, speed and convenience that home care agencies can offer, but also want complete control over the care process, HomeTouch is a very viable alternative.


Prompted by Jim Killock of the Open Rights Group I wrote to my MEPs yesterday (all ten of them) on the matter of copyright term extension. I've had 3 responses so far. First off the mark was Andrew S. Reed of UKIP writing on behalf of Nigel Farrage. They oppose the measure.
Your letter, opposing the copyright-term-extension, is one of many such, sent to Mr Farage, including one from the European Bureau of Library-Information and -Documentation Associations (EBLIDA) objecting to the EU's proposed copyright-legislation, which includes the extension of the term of copyright to the disproportionate length of 95 years, because this will benefit, above all, large, corporate copyright-holders, will reduce the cultural value (to the public) of works-of-art and will not materially augment the return-on-their-work for artists.
EBLIDA' message furnishes further arguments against the proposal, pointing to a torrent of ill-effects.
Such effects are characteristic of EU-legislation, which is largely designed by big business (in this case, by four large media-companies) and produced, by the EU, primarily to increase its own power. It does this in an entirely non-democratic process. That the EU's largely powerless, consultative assembly (the so-called "parliament") is elected - by 27 separate and mutually uncommunicative electorates - does not make it democratically elected, and the real powers of the EU (in the Commission, Council and Court) are not elected at all.
This is why the UKIP votes against every piece of EU-legislation - for all the effect that has, in an assembly dominated by EU-imperialists - and bitterly opposes Britain's continued entanglement in the EU-structure.
The assembly is much lobbied, by the relevant interests, during the prelude to its voting on any particular subject; but only a few, out of many thousands of EU-Commission proposals, have been substantially amended, in the past five years, and only two have been rejected. Indeed, lobbyists (who profit from lobbying) collude with assembly-members (who profit from appearing to be doing something) in giving the impression that the assembly is a free agent, worth lobbying. In fact the assembly is an appendage of the Commission and either does what it's told or is not allowed to do anything.
The chances of withstanding the current proposals on copyright are, therefore, slim.
UKIP is the only party genuinely dedicated to achieving the repeal of the ECA, and I hope you will consider supporting us in our campaign to achieve it.
Please see below a more detailed objection, with which UKIP agrees, to the EU's proposals on copyright, from Mr William Heath of the "Open Rights Group".
(Office of Nigel Farage, Strasbourg, www.ukip.org )"
Next was Peter Skinner of Labour, who doesn't really state what his position is but he appears to support it and says that the Parliament supports the proposal and there's nothing that can be done about it.
The Parliament supported the proposal, with certain amendments including a thorough review clause, with 387 votes in favour and only 152 against. This first reading position was confirmed by the Legal Affairs Committee of the newly elected Parliament in September 2009. It is not possible for the Parliament to recall the dossier, as was sought by Mr Engström, because the Parliament's first reading was re-confirmed by the new Parliament in September 2009. The legislative process was therefore concluded in the Parliament at first reading and it is now for the Council of Ministers to adopt a position on this proposal.
Then came Richard Ashworth of the Conservatives who support the proposal and produced what I presume is the standard Consrvative party response.
Thank you for your email in which you raise concerns with regard to the proposed Copyright Extension Directive.
I, together with my fellow Conservative MEP's, have actively followed and been involved in the debate on copyright duration, believing this is actually issue one of the major parameters for establishing the amount of protection accorded authors and other owners of copyright and I very much understand the elements you put forward. However, issues surrounding copyright extension are controversial and the level of copyright, and copyright term, are matters that have been of importance to policymakers over the last decade and together with colleagues, we support extending the copyright period.
Copyright is extremely important because it is the way artists are rewarded; businesses make their money and invest in the future. But, duration of copyright is also the principal dividing line between the property rights of these owners and the public domain - that is, the domain of unprotected works which are available to the public for unrestricted, uncompensated use. Hence, we need a copyright framework that is both flexible and accessible and the Commission proposal meets many of these requirements. In the digital age, music is readily available online and copyright provisions need to take account of market changes. Extending the term of copyright to 95 years is essential if we expect performers and the music industry to carry on investing, innovating and creating and it is only right that they are given greater protection for their investments.
In economic terms, the copyright extension would also be beneficial. We believe that the available evidence suggests an extension of the copyright term is likely to benefit consumers rather than harm them and that overall social welfare is also likely to be increase. Longer terms will help to encourage digitisation of much more of existing back catalogues of music , ensuring a cultural legacy for thousands of recordings which would otherwise be lost as physical copies are lost or left tucked away never to be heard again. Further, based on a review of the academic literature and the available empirical evidence on record company investment behaviour (which suggests new music is, in fact, financed out of current earnings) there are strong grounds to believe that a retrospective increase in the copyright term will enhance these benefits.
In a Price Waterhouse Report, it was shown that an extension could boost the lagging music industry by £3.3 Billion over the next 50 years. The extension would also address the distortion of competition between the United States and the EU. At a time when creative industries based on intellectual property are generating an increasing percentage of GDP in the EU, the current disparity between the term of protection in the EU and the US clearly puts British record companies and performers at a competitive disadvantage. The extension to 95 years would therefore help the competitiveness of British music industry in the global marketplace.
Furthermore, a significant gap between the length of term of protection in the EU and the US facilitates piracy, particularly in the online environment where technology enables recordings in Europe to be transmitted over the Internet to countries where recordings are still in copyright.
The extension would also improve the social situation of performers, who have been disadvantaged by the existing 50-year term which often does not cover their lifetime. While Composers have benefited from a term of copyright that extended to the composer's life and 70 years beyond, performers have been disadvantaged but this new proposal brings parity to those involved in the music industry.
The UK has a very strong music industry and safeguards must be put in place if we are to maintain our position in today's marketplace. The copyright extension is a first step in this direction and should be supported.
Thank you for your prompt though disappointing reply. As an academic who has studied the technology and intellectual property story for some time I can confirm that copyright is important and that issues surrounding copyright extension are controversial.
Copyright is important for artists but if the Commission's proposal was really aimed at performers, it would link the term to the performer's life (or a close proxy) and it would not grant the extended term to the producers of sound recordings. It would give it to the performers themselves.
You say a review of academic literature supports music copyright term extension. I'd appreciate it if you provide me with specific references to said literature supporting term extension.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with discounted cash flow calculations, where you work out the present value of future cash flows (in a kind of a reverse compound interest calculation). Frankly a basic discounted cash flow model calculation demonstrates that a copyright term of 95 years provides very little extra economic incentive today (compared to a term of 50 years) to invest in copyrighted works. Nevertheless I would still appreciate the opportunity to examine the academic literature you believe states otherwise, so I would still appreciate those citations.
You also say that "empirical evidence on record company investment behaviour (which suggests new music is, in fact, financed out of current earnings) there are strong grounds to believe that a retrospective increase in the copyright term will enhance these benefits." Again I'd really appreciate a reference to this evidence. Part of the problem with intellectual property policymaking has been the absence of empirical evidence informing the process.
You cite the unpublished Price Waterhouse Coopers report produced for the British Phonographic Industry (music industry trade association) in 2006 to suggest that "an extension could boost the lagging music industry by £3.3 Billion over the next 50 years". The methodology of that study has been found to be wanting in several respects. Just one example is that it suggested a range of potential losses that varied by a factor of 20 and it is risky to rely on such figures for policy making. You also suggest extension of copyright term will benefit consumers.
enable an independent empirical study to settle this issue."
I look forward to hearing from you regarding the citations to academic literature and empirical evidence supporting copyright term extension in sound recordings.

You may not be aware that European constituencies were reorganised following the 1999 European elections, and MEPs were elected under a proportional representation system. Having opposed the proportional system, the four Conservative MEPs in the South East region have divided the area into four sub-constituencies, to guarantee a more direct representation for the people of the South East region.
James Elles MEP is the Conservative representative for your part of Oxfordshire. I have, therefore, forwarded your correspondence to him for his information.
I've thanked him for his response and mentioned James Elles will have heard from me directly.
It's interesting that the Conservative Party in the EU Parliament is supporting term extension when there is a fair chance that the Prime Minister may well oppose it.
Obama proposes indefinite detention for suspected terrorists?
It is sad to hear President Obama apparently suggesting the construction of some legal instrument to facilitate indefinite detention for crimes people might commit, having spent so many years denouncing the worst excesses of his predecessor's administration's abuse of civil liberties.


Cyber security professionals refer to these as social engineering attacks, but they are really the same confidence scams that are as old as human history.
Some of these are petty criminals looking to make a quick buck by stealing your credit card information, selling your identity or charging you for fake merchandise or services. The really dangerous criminals want access to your network, computers and applications so they can drain your bank account, steal trade secrets or take advantage of your employees.
Knowledge – Understand your environment, what information needs to be protected and how it is protected.
Internal Controls – Implement internal controls to protect your financial systems from fraudulent transactions, or at least detect them if they occur.
Training – Take time to train your team about Social Engineering. Not just the daily phishing emails, but all forms of social engineering and who/how/when to report suspicious activity.
Culture – Encourage a culture where it is okay to report potential attempts – even the "I may have clicked on something" reports, so you can reinforce training and identify issues early.
Technology – Many technology solutions exist to help with everything from inspecting emails for attachments and links, to blocking connections to malware sites, requiring strong authentication and logging security events. The key thing to remember is technology is part of the overall solution; there is no silver bullet.
Vigilance – Make the effort to evaluate your security, test user knowledge and assess the people, process and technology environment on a regular basis to determine where updates, changes, or new solutions may be needed. An ongoing process is critical to maintaining security.
Technology advances continue to break down geographic barriers, enable new business opportunities and improve our efficiency, but they also increase our risks. Social engineering attacks take advantage of the technological advances while exploiting the weak points in our defenses, our people. The threats are present and the risks are real, so address them using the appropriate combination of the recommendations above that fit your environment. While there is no silver bullet, there are many ways to reduce the risk for your organization using the right combination of people, process and technology.

Summit Goes Off Without a Hitch
By Andrei Zolotov Jr.
May. 27 2002 00:00
Neither president could refrain from gushing about the three days they spent together in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
"Well, first, the hospitality has been magnificent," U.S. President George W. Bush told reporters in the Hermitage Museum on Saturday. "Secondly, I think the summit ... met my expectations. I hope it met the president's expectations."
The Russia-U.S. summit went according to plan, with no glitches or surprises. Even the weather cooperated. So, if predictability and pragmatism are the new buzzwords of the relationship between the two countries, the summit can be called a success.
"I believe we have every reason to consider this visit a success," Putin told reporters at the Tsarskoye Selo palace outside St. Petersburg shortly after Bush left on Sunday. "The fact that we have reached agreements and even signed documents I believe is tremendous progress."
A year ago, the Bush administration did not want to sign any binding treaties on nuclear arms reduction with Russia, and thus the signing of the treaty Friday, no matter how vague and loose it is, was a feather in Putin's cap.
Other feathers -- such as cancellation of the Jackson-Vanik amendment and the granting of market economy status -- have proved harder to obtain. But here, too, there was some progress.
The divisive issues -- Russian nuclear cooperation with Iran and U.S. discussions of a military attack against Iraq -- were relegated to the background or downplayed. Bush took every occasion to praise Putin's leadership and uttered not a single word of criticism, including on the painful issue of Russia's Chechnya policies.
"The main result of the summit is the impression that Bush took home of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Russia in general," said Viktor Kuvaldin, political analyst with the Gorbachev Foundation. "Here Putin and the Russian side overall gave it their absolute best."
President Boris Yeltsin's term of "no-ties diplomacy" seemed to have been forgotten by both Washington and Moscow two years ago, but today it appears more alive than ever, said Yevgeny Volk, director of the Moscow branch of the Heritage Foundation. "It turned out to be impossible to build foreign policy without personal contacts, especially with the Americans."
The two presidents, who call each other George and Vladimir, have developed a camaraderie that has affected the tone, if not always the substance, of U.S.-Russia relations.
"There is a great deal of respect and personal affection," U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said, Reuters reported. "I think the respect between the two leaders, the understanding of each other's position, the understanding of the needs of each other, give us a more solid foundation upon which to build and move forward."
The summit, and specifically the arms treaty, was proclaimed as bringing an end to the Cold War once and for all. But Kuvaldin said this was missing the point. "The Cold War was buried by the current U.S. president's father and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in Malta in 1989," he said in a telephone interview Sunday. "Now the indefinite post-Cold War period of uncertainty in the development of bilateral relations is over. It turned out that there are many fields in which we have common interests, including the situation in Afghanistan and prospects of war in South Asia."
Visible proof of these new common interests came when Putin and Bush addressed the issue of Pakistan's missile testing Saturday. Bush used strong words to urge Pakistani President Pervez Musharaff, his ally in the counter-terrorism campaign, to exercise restraint, while Putin said he hoped to meet with the Indian and Pakistani leaders in Kazakhstan next month.
But for both countries, the U.S.-Russia relationship is just one aspect of their foreign policies. As Bush left St. Petersburg for Paris, Putin met at Tsarskoye Selo with Finnish President Tarja Halonen and then returned to Moscow where a Russia-EU summit will be held this week.
The United States is the most important partner for Russia in terms of international stability and security, Putin told reporters after the meeting with Halonen. "However, we are not forgetting that we are in Europe," he said. He also mentioned Russia's interests in Asia, where the country has a long border with China, and said relations with Japan "are developing not so badly."
Russia also had something to offer Bush. With a series of political failures in the Middle East and increased opposition to his foreign policy among European allies, Bush needed a positive summit with Putin, Volk said.
For many Russians, however, the summit was of limited interest, and news reports describing Bush's visit as "historic" were met with some ridicule.
"Unlike the meeting between [Leonid] Brezhnev and [Richard] Nixon [30 years ago], the current date is perceived by society with cool irrelevance, and the summit's intense advertising only highlights this tired coolness," commentator Maxim Sokolov wrote in the Izvestia newspaper.


Did you know that Vine came out with a new app for kids? Vine has seen for themselves and have heard from parents, siblings, and others that their kids love Vine. So, Vine decided to create Vine Kids, a simple new app that gives young children a fun way to watch Vine videos. The idea came about during an office conversation in early January.
Andre Sala the head of content at Vine was talking about how much his two-year-old daughter loves Vine –– he said he wished there was a separate app she could use to more easily watch posts that are more acceptable for kids. That week happened to be Hack Week, a time when Vine employees get to work on projects outside of their day-to-day work. So two folks teamed up and built exactly that.
The interface of the kids section of the app has been altered to be more fun for children, showing a new Vine each time the user swipes left or right and playing "quirky" sounds each time the user taps the screen. The app pulls from the millions of Vines being created on the website or platform and chooses G-rated ones that are acceptable for children.

WASHINGTON—The FTC on Tuesday said it has sent warning letters to one fifth of the nation's largest advertisers for failing to make adequate disclosures in their television and print advertisements as part of a campaign to ensure advertisers don't mislead consumers.
After reviewing TV and print ads, FTC sent warning letters to 60 companies, including 20 of the nation's 100 biggest advertisers. The campaign known as "Operation Full Disclosure" concentrated on "disclosures that were in fine print or were otherwise easy to miss or hard to read, yet contained important information needed to avoid misleading consumers," FTC announced in a news release.
In long-standing guidance to companies, FTC has said disclosures in ads should appear in a font that is easy to read and not be buried. Disclosures for TV ads should be on the screen long enough to be noticed, read, and comprehended, and other elements in the ads should not murky or distract from the disclosures, the agency said.
Consumers should be able to easily notice the disclosures, FTC advised companies in the warning letters.
FTC, whose enforcement efforts have included cracking down on unsubstantiated weight-loss claims, did not disclose the recipients of the warning letters. But the agency said, "Weight-loss ads featuring testimonials claiming outlier results did not adequately disclose the weight loss that consumers generally could expect to achieve."


No, I don't want you to draw any conclusion. I want you to listen to what I just said.
I still have very close ties to Houston and the Astros because that was my first team.
I believe you learn social skills by mixing with people.
Well, I grew up in the Bay Area, so I've been in earthquakes before.
When you're a kid growing up, you say you want to make it to the Major Leagues, and when you reach that dream, that's what it's all about.
I take my vote as a salute to the little guy, the one who doesn't hit 500 home runs. I was one of the guys that did all they could to win. I'm proud of my stats, but I don't think I ever got on for.
I don't see myself as a Larry King or somebody. When you do interviews, sometimes it turns to interrogations. I'm more of a conversationalist, not throwing hardball questions.
