On 28 March 2011 Prime Minister Boyko Borissov inspected the progress of the construction activities within the Sofia underground extension project, Stage I Nadezhda road junction (metro station 5-II) - Central Railway Station - Sveta Nedelya Sq. - Cherni Vruh Blvd. (metro station 11-II). Also attending were Sofia Mayor Yordanka Fandakova, EU Funds Minister Tomislav Donchev, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Simeon Djankov, Deputy Minister of Transport, Information Technologies and Communications Ivailo Moskovski and Metropoliten EAD CEO Stoyan Bratoev.
It transpired at the inspection that the project may be completed two months ahead of schedule.
The extended underground services are expected to reduce Sofia traffic by 25 % and Sofianites will save over 65,000 hours of travel time.The funds for Stage I of the underground extension project, included in OP Transport, amount to 185,190,000 EUR, including 157 million in grant aid from the European Regional Development Fund, 28,800,000 in national co-financing and 61,900,000 in co-financing by the Sofia Municipality. Construction activities were launched in the beginning of 2009 and are expected to be completed in August 2012. By March 2011 construction activities of the value of 139,342,000 EUR were carried out.
Prime Minister Boyko Borissov stressed that by the end of June the tunnel boring machine should reach as far as the Sheraton Hotel. French experts were categorical that the construction of the underground is performed duly and in accordance with the agreed schedule.
The Sofia underground extension project, Stage I is financed under Priority Axis 3 of OP Transport, Improvement of Intermodality for Passenger and Freight, and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.


what is the quickest way to find out whether we are current with our PTIN status>??
It's the first question so must be common.
The PTIN registration site is a very good resource. It also lists all CPE credit that the IRS has received under your PTIN. I was just in there a couple months ago when I was renewing my EA license to check and make sure I had all the hours correct on my renewal. One of the few things the IRS has made fairly painless and is actually useful.


Computer hacking is growing in popularity among criminals who find themselves at the pinnacle of technological innovation. They are adept at finding new and inventive ways of breaking into computer networks and are growing bolder with each new brazen attempt. As a result, it has become more critical now than ever before for organizations to take a more proactive approach to defending their networks.
Network breaches are a systemic issue and are so bad in fact that now a new way of thinking has become prominent among most fortune 500 companies. According to Symantec's Norton Cybersecurity Insights Report for 2016, within the last year alone, over 689 million people in 21 countries have experienced cybercrime first hand3. Additionally, cybercrime victims have collectively spent over $126 billion since the year before and 19.7 hours dealing with cybercrime3. Suffice it to say, organizations cannot afford to turn a blind eye by standing on the sidelines. It's the simple matter of not if, but when an attack will occur. The time to take action is now.
As a result of the prominent growth of network data breaches, many organizations are finding value in the development of digital forensic incident response (DFIR) teams. The need for businesses to stay connected in today's global economy is essential to their very survival and growth, thus, the need to, not only defend networks and prevent attacks, but also to effectively handle attacks after they have occurred.
DFIR is generally defined as "the use of scientific technology to: collect, examine, identify, and analyze data". The development of a DFIR team plays a critical role in investigating cybercrimes that can help piece together the, when, what, where, and how's of cyber criminology.
With proper incident handling and response procedures in place, organizations are afforded the opportunity to improve their defenses by modifying ineffective policies and procedures. Not only does this encourage customer confidence but also reassures stock holders that the organization is fully capable to compete on the global stage responsibly and reliably.
Successful recoveries from disasters require the complete coordination of all recovery and incident management activities. During a crises, it is imperative that team members know their roles and responsibilities. Additionally, they help ensure proper channels of communication helping contribute to the recovery's overall success. The local incident management team will require a minimum staff size of five that will provide services commensurate with the size of the organization. We propose allocating $50,000/yr. for annual security awareness training for all organizational employees.
Oversees the prioritization of actions throughout the detection, analysis, and containment, stages of the incident lifecycle. The IR manager is responsible for conveying any special requirements involved with high severity incidents to the rest of the organization.
Forensic Analyst: Responsible for the acquisition of key artifacts and evidence recovery while ensuring the integrity of collected evidence in pursuit of a forensically complete investigation.
Triage Analyst: Responsible for filtering out false positives in addition to observations for potential intrusions.
Works in direct support of the security analysts by providing specific threat intelligence as it pertains to the incident. Responsible for scouring the Internet in an effort to acquire additional relative investigative intelligence, which could have been reported externally. Also responsible for building and maintain databases of intelligence in combination with previous incidents.
At the core of incident response and handling is the DFIR lab. In order to carry out a sound and secure operation, DFIR labs need to remain secured at all times. This may involved air-gapped solutions, where the lab is totally disconnected from the Internet helping maintain the integrity of the operation. We propose allocating $20,000 of the annual budget towards building and maintain the DFIR lab.
Administrative subnet dedicated to hosting an active directory server.
Printer server and network printer.
Local Storage Area Network (SAN) for backups.
Additionally, in order to host forensic reviews of web applications, a semi-public DMZ will be required. The semi-public DMZ would also host its on separate subnet designed to manage network traffic and any email domain server to expedite incident management and communications.
Figure 1 below is an example of a larger DFIR Network Lab.
The physical layout of the DFIR lab facility should take into consideration the physical security and be strategically located within the building to help defend against intrusions through walls and exterior doors. Ideally, the DFIR lab would be located centrally inside the building. This will also help ensure that the use of any wireless DFIR technologies stay secured through the protection of exterior walls.
Entrance to the lab will be monitored by existing front desk security personnel using existing procedures by validating access through ID smart cards. A biometric fingerprint reader will be stationed at the front door to the lab in addition to an electronic smart card reader (Cost = $600), and 10 digit key pad (Cost = $350) for entering a 6 digit PIN before access is granted to the DFIR lab.
Evidence storage will be included in a portion of the lab. All duplicate back-ups will be encrypted prior to leaving the primary facility and transported to offsite storage.

FSA use-it-or-lose-it rule changed!
|In Compliance News, Saxon Blog
|By 6d-destani
Originally posted October 31, 2013 by Kathryn Mayer on http://www.benefitspro.com
Use-it-or-lose-it is no more.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS on Thursday issued a notice modifying the longstanding "use-or-lose" rule for health flexible spending arrangements. Participants now can carry over up to $500 of their unused balances remaining at the end of a plan year.
The rule will go into effect for the 2014 plan year.
Effective immediately, employers that offer FSAs that don't include a grace period will have the option of allowing employees to roll over up to $500 of unused funds at the end of this plan year.
An employer cannot offer a FSA carryover provision and an FSA grace period at the same time, officials said.
For nearly 30 years, employees eligible for FSAs have been subject to the use-it-or-lose-it rule, meaning any account balances remaining unused at the end of the year are forfeited.
FSAs allow employees to contribute pre-tax dollars to pay for out-of-pocket health care expenses – including deductibles, copayments, and other qualified medical, dental or vision expenses not covered by the individual's health insurance plan.
Health savings accounts, on the other hand, are similar vehicles, but allow participants to build up savings over time.
The move, the departments announced, is making "FSAs more consumer-friendly and provide added flexibility."
"Across the administration, we're always looking for ways to provide added flexibility and commonsense solutions to how people pay for their health care," Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said in a statement. "Today's announcement is a step forward for hardworking Americans who wisely plan for health care expenses for the coming year."
The change responds directly to more than 1,000 public comments the Treasury fielded. Employers and employees complained about the difficulty for employees to predict future needs for medical expenditures. Many FSA users said they scrambled at year end to spend the remaining amounts, often buying unnecessary medical supplies.
IRS officials said they believe a $500 rollover cap is appropriate because most employees who lost money under the rule lost far less than that amount.
Bob Natt, executive chairman of Alegeus Technologies, a health and benefits payments firm, said he's grateful the administration has "eliminated the most significant barrier to FSA participation – namely consumers' fear of losing their money."
He said that though more than 85 percent of large employers offer FSAs, only about 20 percent of eligible employees actually enroll, mainly for "fear of forfeiting unused funds at the end of the plan year."
"With this new provision in effect, there is really no reason for eligible employees not to enroll and contribute to an FSA," Natt said. "All contributions are tax-free, the employee's full election is available on the first day of the plan year, and now unused funds up to $500 can be rolled over to the next plan year."
Alegeus Technologies has been lobbying for four years to modify the use-it-or-lose-it provision, he said.
Wageworks, a benefits management provider of consumer-directed benefits, has also been pushing the administration for flexibility on FSA provisions. The company's CEO, Joe Jackson, said it's a very "positive change" and a long time coming.
"The timing of this change could not be better, as most companies are now in their open enrollment period," Jackson said. "We encourage all eligible employees to take advantage of this change and sign up for an FSA and lower their health care expenses."
The rule will have far-reaching effects: An estimated 14 million families participate in FSAs.
Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the amount an employee can set aside in an FSA dropped to $2,500 this year. The $500 carryover won't reduce the $2,500 maximum a worker can contribute to a FSA each year, Treasury officials said.

Do You Only Get One Soulmate?
At some point in your life, you've probably heard a woman say that she's met "the one" or her boyfriend is her soulmate, but do you only get one soulmate in your lifetime?
With roughly 7 billion people in the world, the idea of only having one soulmate is truly outdated, especially when you consider the fact that the internet and technology has brought the world so much closer together. Today, there's more opportunities than ever to meet new people.
But, if your long-term single status is the reason why you start to consider re-dating ex-boyfriends, your energy would be better spent meeting new people.
When the "pickings are slim," you can't start convincing yourself that you already dated your soulmate and there's no one else out there for you. You may not have a ton of great, compatible men lined up for dates, but you don't need several great matches banging your door down. You just need one. After all, you can only marry one person.
If you're interested in finding out how to leave a relationship so that you can live a regret-free dating life, check out my post No More Boomeranging.

Sergey Pavlovich Zalygin (Russian: ; December 6, 1913 in Durasovka, Ufa Governorate, Russian Empire – April 19, 2000 in Moscow) was a Soviet writer and environmentalist, the first non-Communist Party editor-in-chief of the monthly literary magazine  (1986–1998).

Life and literary work
He was born on December 6, 1913 in Durasovka village (now Sukharevka). His father, Pavel Ivanovich Zalygin, came from a peasant family of the Tambov Province, studied at the University of Kiev, from which he was expelled and exiled to the Ufa Province for revolutionary activity. Zalygin's mother, Lyubov Timofeevna Zalygina (Abkin), was a daughter of a bank employee from the town of Krasny Kholm, Tver Province. She studied at the Women's Higher Courses in Saint Petersburg.

His childhood was spent in the Ural mountains, at the Satka factory. In 1920, the family moved to Barnaul (in Western Siberia), where he graduated from a seven-year school, and, later, the Barnaul Agricultural College. He worked as an agronomist in the Tashtypsky district farm union of Khakassia in 1931, where he witnessed the tragic events of collectivization. In 1933–1939, Zalygin studied at the Omsk State Agrarian Institute at the Department of Irrigation and Reclamation. While a student he was influenced by the works of Russian geographer and meteorologist A. I. Voeykov and V. I. Vernadsky. During World War II, he worked as an engineer-hydrologist at the Salekhard Hydrometeorological Station in the Siberian Military District. After his demobilization, Zalygin returned to the Department of Irrigation and Reclamation at the Omsk Agrarian Institute, where in 1948 he defended his thesis on irrigation systems designing and became department chair.

Zalygin began to write while being a school student. While studying at the Omsk State Agrarian Institute, he worked as a reporter for a local newspaper. He began to write prose fiction in the 1940s. His first book was published in 1941 (Short Stories, Omsk). In 1952, he was first published in the  monthly ( [The Second Act], 1952, No. 9), for which he later submitted a series of essays,  (This Spring, 1954, No. 8) about the interference of authorities in the life of a peasant. This publication brought fame to Zalygin and drew him close to the magazine's editor-in-chief, A. Tvardovsky. From 1970, after the dispersal of the editorial office of  and the resignation of Tvardovsky, and until 1986, Zalygin refused to be published in the magazine out of solidarity.

In 1955, Zalygin moved to Novosibirsk and was mainly occupied by his literary work, although not abandoning the science. In these years, Zalygin, along with short stories, produced works of larger forms – a satirical novel  (Witnesses, 1956) and  (Paths in the Altai, 1962), in which he described his impressions of the biological expedition to the Altai mountains. His biographer Igor Dedkov wrote that  was "an introduction to the philosophy...on which all the main books of Zalygin were built".

In 1964,  (On the Irtysh) was published in . The novel describes the catastrophe of the peasant life at the turn of the 1930s, during the collectivization period. "For the first time in the Soviet censored press, the truth about collectivization was told, for the first time collectivization was shown not in the canonical Sholokhov interpretation, but as a tragedy of the Russian peasants, and even more – as a national catastrophe". Official critics accused Zalygin of distorting the "concrete historical truth" and of "ideological and artistic inability". The artistic significance of the novel was highly esteemed by the public. The poet Anatoly Naiman described his impressions upon reading On the Irtysh some thirty years after its publishing in these words: "The day when I read the novel was separated from the events, which I had perceived as a living tragedy from my youth, by more than seventy years....The tragedy did not disappear, did not weaken, it simply moved to the special area reserved for tragedies. I read On the Irtysh as if I were reading Sophocles or Aeschylus".

By the end of the 1960s, Zalygin moved to Moscow and switched exclusively to writing. In 1968–1972, he led a prose workshop at the Literary Institute of A. M. Gorky. In 1969, he became the secretary of the board of the Writers' Union of the RSFSR; in 1986–1990 he entered the secretariat of the Writers' Union of the USSR. He signed a letter written by a group of Soviet writers to the editorial of the Pravda newspaper on August 31, 1973, denunciating Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Andrei Sakharov; he was also one of the people who condemned the  almanach in 1979. At the same time, Zalygin was never a member of the Communist Party, and, in 1986, became the first non-party affiliated editor-in-chief of a Soviet literary magazine.

In 1967,  (Salt Ravine), a novel about the events of the civil war in Siberia, based on various historical documents, which Zalygin collected for several years working in the archives, was published. In it, the image of a fanatic-communist is opposed by the main character – the peasant leader Meshcheryakov (his prototype was the partisan commander E. M. Mamontov). In 1973, two of Zalygin's more experimental works were published: the psychological novel  (The South American Variant) and the science fiction novel  (Oska, the Funny Boy). In the novel  (Commission, 1975) Zalygin once again describes the period of the civil war in Siberia. The following, most ambitious, novel,  (After the Storm, 2 vol., 1982–1985), is set in the 1920s. It involves not peasants, but the  ('used-to-be') – the intellectuals who were exiled or fled from the Soviet authorities to the Siberian hinterland. Dedkov described the originality of this novel as "not so much a reproduction of characters...but of various individual or group 'philosophies'. This is an attempt to recreate the 'ideological landscape' of the Soviet Russia of the twenties, an attempt to understand the life of human thought during this period".  became Zalygin's last major work based on historical events. In the 1980s and 1990s, he wrote short stories about modern life. His writings of the 1990s are characterized, generally, by a more free form, they represent a combination of fiction and journalism.

Zalygin also wrote literary-critical works. The most significant of these are about A. P. Chekhov ( (My Poet), 1969) and Andrei Platonov ( (Tales of a Realist and Realism of a Storyteller), 1970).

In 1986, Zalygin became editor-in-chief of the  monthly, which, under him, began to play an important role in Mikhail Gorbachev's politics of glasnost'. In the first issue of  of 1987, Platonov's The Foundation Pit and Daniil Granin's Bison were published. Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak (prepared and commented by V. Borisov and E. Pasternak), 1984 by George Orwell, The Gulag Archipelago, as well as other works of Alexander Solzhenitsyn were published in the pages of  for the first time in the USSR. The Humble Cemetery and  by Sergei Kaledin, , or the Air of Freedom by Leonid Gabyshev, the journalistic pieces on the Chernobyl catastrophe by G. U. Medvedev, Advances and Debts by the economist N. P. Shmelev were also published there. During the years of perestroika, the struggle between  and the censorship authorities did not go well for the monthly. Some parts of this struggle are described by Solzhenitsyn (A grain between two millstones, part 4, , 2003, No. 11) and Zalygin himself (Notes that do not need a plot, Oktyabr, 2003, No. 9-11). In 1991, the circulation of  reached 2,700,000.

Over his years of working for , Zalygin gained a reputation of a decisive and principled person. At the same time, being the head of a prestigious monthly that stood by its "non-partisan" position (politically and aesthetically), he could refuse to publish even renowned authors, causing their resentment (such was the case with the famous Russian writer and former Soviet dissident Vladimir Voinovich, who later called Zalygin a "conformist" for it).

In 1989–1991 Zalygin was People's Deputy of the USSR and a member of the Presidential Council under M.S. Gorbachev.

In 1991, he became academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Section of Language and Literature).

Zalygin received the USSR State Prize (1968), the Hero of Socialist Labour title, together with the Order of Lenin (1988), Order of Friendship of Peoples (1993) and other prizes and orders from the USSR and Russian Federation. In 1991, he received the Condé Nast Traveler Environmental Award.

He died on April 19, 2000. He was buried in Moscow at the Troyekurovskoye Cemetery.

Environmental activity
Though Zalygin quit hydrological engineering in the 1960s, he never ceased to follow attentively what was going on in the country in the sphere of hydro-amelioration and water management resources policies, and took part in public campaigns against ecologically dangerous hydraulic engineering projects which were being worked out by GOSPLAN (State Planning Committee) until the last years of the USSR.

His attitude towards state water management policies changed radically in 1961–1962, when the politically powerful Soviet hydropower agency Gidroproekt came out with the project of constructing a dam and a hydropower station in West Siberia, on the Lower Ob'. "I was shocked and stupefied, – wrote Zalygin later in his memoirs. – Back in my day I had worked in the region as hydroengineer, and I could clearly visualize the enormous devastation which a water reservoir of 132,000 square kilometers would have brought about". Zalygin became one of the prominent participants in the campaign against the Lower Ob' Dam project. He went to various cities to discuss the matter with specialists – engineers, geologists, scientists. A key turning point in the debate came with the news of massive oil discoveries in the Lower Ob' basin, but even after that the entrenched hydropower lobby would not yield up easily. Zalygin's articles elucidating the situation were published in one of the leading Soviet newspapers and drew public attention to the problem, converting the opinion of the administration managers. The fight ended in 1963, when a government decree ruled in favor of oil and gas over hydropower as the main priority in West Siberia.

In 1985–1986 Zalygin became one of the organizers of a public campaign against another ambitious project, the Siberian river reversal, aimed at diverting the flow of the Northern (Siberian) rivers southwards, toward the arid agricultural areas of Central Asia. The campaign was successful, and Zalygin regarded it as an evidence of new possibilities for democratic interference in the ecological policies of the state, unheard-of in the Soviet years. Full of enthusiasm, he became the leader of the public association Environment and the World in 1989, and in 1993 joined the ecological party Cedar. But soon his optimism about the ecological policies of the state and public role in decision-taking of the Perestroyka years gave way to disillusionment and dismay. In 1995 he quit the Green party due to discrepancies with its leaders. Yet the problem of relations between man and nature never ceased to worry him; it was central to all his writings of the 90s.

He was briefly member of the ecologist Kedr party in the mid-1990s.

Two and a half millennia ago, Plato announced that "Human behavior flows from three things: desire, emotion, and knowledge." Unfortunately, our human and corporate behavior on climate change is not even close to where it needs to be. But if the great philosopher was right (and he usually was), 2013 may have been a game changer.
Gains in "desire" and "emotion" were modest but real – with polls generally showing greater concern for the planet, Americans broadly supporting President Obama's climate change announcement in June, Chinese citizens and authorities concluding that life-shortening air pollution is an unacceptable price to pay for economic growth, and citizens of the Philippines and the world grieving the loss of 6,000 lives from Typhoon Haiyan.
But the big news from 2013 came from gains in knowledge. Our understanding was deepened in several key areas. Consider the following, for example:
Overspending the Carbon Budget
This year's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report once again confirmed the overwhelming scientific consensus that the world is warming, and that it's caused by human activities. For the first time, these scientists also identified a "carbon budget," the emissions the world can release while still having a likely chance of limiting warming to 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F). At present, we're on track to burn through this budget within the next 30 years. According to a statement from leading scientists, this means that nearly three-quarters of fossil fuel reserves—especially coal—must remain unused if the world is to limit temperature rise to 2°C.
This year's new climate dictionary entry is "stranded assets," the idea that physical assets (whether coal reserves, or carbon dioxide-emitting plants and equipment) may need to be revalued significantly downwards, as governments finally (and unpredictably) adopt policies to address climate change. This could lead to a "carbon bubble" being popped, with serious economic disruption. The implication is clear: a modest price on carbon should be established now, with a pre-announced escalation. This kind of predictability will lead to more, not less, investment and jobs.
Losing Forests 50 Soccer Fields a Minute
A new report in Science by Professor Matt Hansen showed that the world has been losing 13 million hectares of forest each year. That's equivalent to the size of England. That's a tragedy for ecosystems and for the businesses and communities that rely on forest products. There's an upside, though: Using satellite data, this research provides the first-ever high-resolution, global picture of forest cover change over the last 13 years.
WRI's Global Forest Watch, to be launched in early 2014, will use satellite imagery as well as crowd-sourced information to chronicle forest cover change on a free, online mapping application. This up-to-date, transparent data can help improve forest management and cut back countries' deforestation rates.
When citizens realize that 50 soccer fields' of forest cover are being lost every minute of every day – and that reversing this can be good for jobs and the planet – will they insist in a change of direction?
Energy Subsidies: $2 Trillion (with a T)
This year, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), one of world's most trusted financial institutions, quantified the extent of energy subsidies. Governments are spending $500 million each year to encourage the wasteful use of fossil fuel. That number wasn't new – although coming from the IMF, it still got the ears of the financial community. But the Fund had the courage to go further. When taking into account the level of taxation on other goods and the fact that energy has an adverse impact on climate, the true subsidy amounts to $2 trillion a year.
Eliminating energy subsidies can reduce global carbon dioxide emissions by an impressive 15 percent, while also increasing economic growth, lowering budget deficits, and spurring private sector energy investments. Hmmm. When are we going to wake up?
Wasting Food: It's Worse than We Thought
Sustainably feeding 9 billion people by 2050 is one of the greatest challenges of our era. According to WRI analysis, we will need to produce 69 percent more food calories to achieve this goal. And yet, at present, the world wastes or loses around one-third of all food by volume, and around one-quarter by calorie value. By reducing the amount of food we lose and waste each year by half, we can close the food gap by about 20 percent. This would dramatically improve nutritional standards, and would also make addressing climate change much easier. (Agriculture accounts directly and indirectly for around 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions).
This year saw major food processors and retailers taking the issue more seriously. For example, Tesco, the world's second largest food retailer, announced the results of a major audit of food loss and waste within their jurisdiction. As a result, the issue is rising rapidly in the public's and governments' consciousness.
There hasn't been a consistent international method to account for and reduce this waste—until now. In October, WRI and partners (World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Waste and Resources Action Programme, FAO, UNEP, and more) kicked off a process to develop the Global Food Loss and Waste Protocol, an initiative that will create a standardized methodology to help companies and countries measure how much of their food goes uneaten. By identifying the extent of their food loss and waste problem—and where it's occurring—countries and companies can take steps to prevent it.
Risky Water
In the 2013 World Economic Forum's survey of top risks, leaders chose water risk in the top three of 50 risks. More than 1.2 billion people currently live in water-scarce regions. Others battle pollution, flooding, and variable supplies. Yet most countries and businesses lack high-quality data on the water risks they face.
New technologies enable water risks – drought, floods, pollution – to be measured and predicted much more accurately than ever before. Thus, for example, WRI released the first-ever assessment of national water risks this month, examining 181 countries' exposure to floods, droughts, baseline water stress, and supply variability. Researchers found that 37 countries face "extremely high" levels of water stress, where at least 80 percent of the supply available to domestic, agricultural, and industrial users is withdrawn annually. Business and national leaders can use this advanced information to come up with strategies that mitigate their water risks and ensure a water-secure future.
2013: The Year of Better Information
We are leaving 2013 will less ignorance and more understanding. New tools and research are opening our understanding much wider than before. But will we act on this? Knowledge can spur action, but this path is not guaranteed.
Former U.S. President James Garfield (1831-1881) wisely noted that "The truth will set you free – but first, it will make you miserable." While we can demonstrate convincingly that citizens as a whole—as well as our long-term economic future—will benefit from a different course, we can't guarantee that existing vested interests will all gain. Tough choices will need to be made by political leaders, and the bravest and best will face severe opposition from those who benefit from the status quo.
The achievement of 2013 has been that, if we fail to act, we can no longer say that we didn't know.

The Project aligned the south segment of Zumirez Dr with the north segment at the PCH intersection. The elimination of the road offset, plus the installation of a new traffic signal, provided safer, easier access to a large residential community in the Point Dume area and several housing developments.
Construction began in March 2005, and all work was completed by September 2005.
The project was made possible in part by funding provided by Proposition C and Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

Home Destinations South Africa
by Carrie Hampton
Carrie Hampton visits an estate near Stellenbosch. But it's not wine she goes looking for… or that she finds.
How often do you go somewhere that has got it so right that a sublime sense of wellbeing washes over you? For me, Babylonstoren is that place.
Almost equidistant between Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl – the Cape Winelands' most established wine regions – this estate has exalted the art of understatement.
Babylonstoren's minimalism is so aspirational that it makes you want to go home, paint everything white and chuck out all your 'stuff'. There is nothing at Babylonstoren that shouldn't be there, but don't mistake modest for unsophisticated.
Gobble your way round the garden
Babylonstoren's quiet finesse becomes ever more apparent the longer you wander around. Admire the architectural design of the all-edible gardens, the pared-down but oh-so-stylish farm accommodation and the farm-to-fork Babel restaurant and Greenhouse eatery, with a "pick, clean and serve" ethos. A plate of raw heritage vegetables never looked or tasted so good!
Behind this apparent effortlessness is a well-oiled machine of staff and technology supporting the smooth functioning of eight acres of gardens, vineyards and olive groves, retail spaces in ancient farm buildings, two restaurants and a wine-tasting venue. There's a large contingent of feathered workers too – 60 geese and over 20 free-roaming chickens that march into the gardens each morning and gobble up all the snails.
The staff seem happy, certainly if Master Gardener Gundula Deutschlander is anything to go by. Sporting a wide-brimmed pink and yellow sun hat, blue and orange smock and yellow painted toenails, she guided our eager group around the gardens, clearly in her element.
Inspired by The Company's Gardens in the centre of Cape Town – cultivated to supply Dutch East India Company trading ships with supplies in the 17th century – the magical Babylonstoren garden is created without a single nail and planted with the intention that almost everything should be edible.
Gundula insisted we smell, taste and touch every plant and pluck ripe figs, quince or guava and kick off our shoes to walk on the chamomile lawn. Just in case you take life too seriously, a sudden squirt of water triggered by motion as you walk between citrus-tasting spekboom bushes, prompts you to laugh out loud. It is no wonder that Monty Don paid a visit and has nothing but admiration for this estate.
Honouring Heritage
While horticulturalists may prefer to know the Latin names of plants, Afrikaans lends a much greater sense of purpose to many plants. Take the kruidjie-roer-my-nie for example, translated into English as 'do not disturb me' due to its unpleasant smelling leaves. Afrikaans comes easily to all the staff at Babylonstoren as everybody employed here speaks Afrikaans as their mother tongue. As a modern antique language, it reflects exactly what Babylonstoren is: 90 per cent old Cape Dutch and 10 per cent modernday.
The owners of Babylonstoren – Karen Roos and Koos Bekker – are Afrikaaners, with an evident love of history. Their interest isn't confined to South Africa, and they seek to preserve historic spaces and find a commercially viable place for them in today's world.
As a business visionary – said by Forbes to be worth US$2.6-billion, and chairman of multinational internet and media group Naspers – Koos Bekker has an eye for a good proposition. It shouldn't be surprising then that Hadspen House in Somerset, UK, took their fancy. Perhaps not just for it's great potential, but for its past owner's familial connection with Emily Hobhouse, an English campaigner against the cruelty of British concentration camps incarcerating Afrikaans women and children during the Second Boer War.
Hobhouse is honoured in this 17th century Grade II listed property through its new name 'Emily in Somerset'. The renovation is getting the same treatment that has made Babylonstoren the darling of the moment. With an international business to run I wonder if the 30 or more guest rooms at Hadspen will be privy to the same personal attention as Babylonstoren, where Bekker is said to have chosen every library book in each guest suite.
I suspect it will. No doubt Karen's impeccable good taste and "secure sense of style and keen eye for creative originality" – said of her as she became editor of Elle Decoration magazine (South Africa) in 2005 – will play an influential part in the Emily Estate's new look.
When there's chaos all around, gardens have a way of creating a sense of tranquillity. With Babylonstoren Roos and Bekker have spread their ethos of simplicity and aesthetics to every corner of the estate. They've done it with such apparent ease and grace, it's hardly surprising we all want a bit of it.
The daily Garden Tour starts at 10am in front of the Farm Shop. Book in advance.
There's a Special Collection walk daily at 11.30am designed to capture the 'procession of the seasons', such as 9000 clivia blooming in September.
Babel Restaurant is very popular, so book well in advance during the summer for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
The Greenhouse is a turn-up-and-order eatery with picnic-style food. Open 10am-4pm.
The Bakery becomes a family-style self-serve restaurant in the evenings, with Italian- inspired food on Mondays and Fridays and a five-course Carnivore braai night with music on Wednesdays.
A Tea Ceremony is held at 9.30am on Tuesdays in a Zen bamboo hut, with seasonal herbal infusions accompanied by savoury and sweet confections.
The Wine Tasting Room is open daily from 10am to 6pm in summer and to 5pm in winter. There is a small fee.
Accommodation comprises Farmhouse Suites, Garden Cottages, Fynbos Cape Dutch cottages and a five-bedroom Manor House.
The Spa signature treatments are a hammam water ritual and bamboo massage.
It can get very hot here (well over 30˚C) so bring a hat, sunscreen and water bottle.

Samsung delays sales of Galaxy Fold for tests
Faulty units had top screen layer removed or 'substances inside'
Samsung Electronics President Koh Dong-jin introduces the Galaxy Fold during an unpacking event on Feb. 20. The device was set to go on sale in the United States Friday, but the launch has been postponed. [SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS]
Samsung Electronics postponed the release of its Galaxy Fold, the potentially game-changing mobile phone that developed technical hiccups in pre-release trials.
Several U.S. tech reviewers last week reported that their test device's screen was faulty after a few days of use. They included bulges in the folding screen, flickering screens and black outs.
"To fully evaluate this feedback and run further internal tests, we have decided to delay the release of the Galaxy Fold," Samsung said in a statement Tuesday. "We plan to announce the release date in the coming weeks."
The company had the reviewers' faulty devices shipped to Korea over the weekend for inspection. Among the four Galaxy Fold phones, two had the protective layer on the screen peeled off by the reviewers, who thought it was temporary. Samsung says the film is a permanent component that must stay on the screen.
Initial findings of the inspections released Tuesday dealt with two devices that did not have their protective layers removed. One reported that the issue was the result of "impact on the top and bottom exposed areas of the hinge," according to the company.
The other device was found to have "substances inside the device that affected the display performance." A Samsung spokesman added the company is still investigating whether the substances were part of the device and if they weren't, when they entered.
Tuesday's statement said the company will take appropriate measures to strengthen protection of the folding screen that is the heart of the device. (There is a second, smaller screen on the outside of the device when it is folded.) It also implied it would provide better instructions, including that the protective film on the screen should not be removed.
The Galaxy Fold was supposed to start U.S. sales Friday. Domestic sales were set to take off next month and for 15 countries in Europe on May 3.
The Galaxy Fold is made exclusively in Korea. The products that were to go on sale in the United States on Friday are still in Korea, according to the company. They would have been shipped to the United States this week. Samsung declined to comment on whether the products were already fully packaged or not.
As for U.S. customers who ordered the Galaxy Fold earlier, Samsung sent an email with an apology. Payments will not be charged until the product is shipped, it said. The company added that updated details on shipping are expected in "two weeks."
The public's response to the embarrassing delay was mixed. Some comments on Korean internet portals scolded Samsung for bad quality control before sending devices out to be reviewed. Others said it was better to spot faults before the product hit the market.
"If the reports came up after the release, it would have caused severe damage on not only the product's sales but Samsung's brand - the company seems to have judged at this stage that's more important than pushing forward with the original release schedule," said a tech industry source. Samsung has a history of recalling faulty smartphones. In 2016, many Note7 phablets caught fire due to battery issues, and sales had to be suspended within a month of release.
But for Samsung, the Fold has to come out sooner rather than later. China's Huawei is planning to launch a foldable phone, the Mate X, in June. Xiaomi and start-up Royole are other Chinese companies that have promised foldable phones.

England boss Eddie Jones watches as his players warm up before the team's Six Nations Championship match against Scotland on Saturday in London. | ACTION IMAGES / VIA REUTERS
Eddie Jones grateful for Scotland 'lesson' ahead of World Cup
AFP-JIJI
Online: Mar 17, 2019
LONDON – England head coach Eddie Jones said he hoped his team would learn a valuable World Cup lesson after it was "seduced by the scoreboard" as Scotland produced an astonishing fightback in a 38-38 draw at Twickenham on Saturday.
England, knowing before kick-off their title hopes were over after Wales completed a Grand Slam against Ireland in Cardiff earlier on Saturday, surged into a 31-0 lead by the 30-minute mark in rainswept conditions.
Yet Scotland produced a scarcely believable rally that saw England, whose nerve was questioned by Wales coach Warren Gatland after it squandered a 10-3 half-time lead during a 21-13 defeat in Cardiff last month, suffer a stunning meltdown.
The Scots were moments away from their first win at Twickenham since 1983 before England replacement fly-half George Ford crossed in the third minute of added time for a try he then converted to level the scores with the final kick of the game.
It was England's last competitive match before the World Cup begins in September and it certainly raised questions over the team's ability to triumph in Japan.
This was the third time England had let slip a lead in recent months following that reverse in Cardiff and the first test in South Africa last year.
"It was 100 percent mental. It's a bit of a recurring theme for us," said Jones.
"We've experienced this at least three times in 12 months, where we've taken control of a game, let our foot off the gas and then been unable to get control of it back."
England was well on course for a winning margin even greater than their 61-21 rout of Scotland when the teams last played at Twickenham two years ago.
"Our first half there was some exceptional rugby," said Jones, the coach of the Australia side that lost the 2003 World Cup final to England in his native Sydney.
"We should have been ahead by a lot more.
"It's a great lesson for us. I thought our finishers (replacements) did exceptionally well to get us out of jail at the end."
Reflecting on what had gone wrong in one of the most extraordinary editions of rugby union's oldest international fixture, first played in 1871, Jones said: "We got seduced by the scoreboard. And sometimes it can be one player that does it and then it becomes infectious.
"There's not one area we need to fix, apart from our ability just to be able to regain ourselves."
England ended the Championship as runners-up and Jones insisted: "If you look at our tournament, apart from a poor 30 against Wales and a poor 40 against Scotland, we've had a pretty good tournament."
He tried to put a positive spin on an astounding scoreline by saying: "You want these sorts of lessons before you go to the World Cup.
"Because you do that in the pool game against Tonga, for instance, then you can find yourselves in a difficult situation going forward."
The draw saw Scotland retain the Calcutta Cup for the first time since its Five Nations Grand Slam of 1984 following last year's 25-13 win at Murrayfield.
Scotland also managed its highest points total against England, surpassing the 33 achieved in a 33-6 win in 1986, but this result meant it still finished fifth in this year's Six Nations.
"I've never been involved in a game like that as a player or a coach," said Scotland coach Gregor Townsend following a revival started by captain Stuart McInally's try before halftime that also featured wing Darcy Graham's second-half try double.
"It's the most unusual game I've been involved in."
The former Scotland playmaker added: "I'm very happy with the draw considering what happened in the first half, but the players are absolutely gutted.
"They're really disappointed not to have won, which seems incredible to think when you're 31-0 down.
"We talked about winning back respect in the second half.
"To go out and score another five tries in the second half is still hard to believe."

Liz Gardiner is a GP in Leicester. She describes her experience of depression and how a combination of medication, therapy and exercise has helped her.
"I've had depression since I was a teenager. It was really bad in my early teens, but I didn't seek help until I was about 15. My GP was really helpful and supportive.
"Over a couple of years, I tried 5 or 6 different types of antidepressant until we finally found one that worked for me and that I still take today. It really seems to sort my brain chemistry out."
"I'm quite happy with the fact that I'll probably be on antidepressants every day for the rest of my life.
I've tried to stop a couple of times, but my symptoms come back. If I don't take them, I feel like I can't cope, whereas if I do, I feel normal.
"I had various different talking therapies when I was at medical school in my early twenties, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and general counselling. I found both very helpful and I still use the positive thinking strategies I learned.
"CBT teaches you to change the way you think and to question your negative thoughts.
"For example, if you have arranged to meet a friend in town and the friend doesn't turn up on time, somebody who's not prone to depression might think it's a pain and then go and get a coffee while waiting to hear from the friend.
"But if you're prone to depression, you might start thinking, 'Is it because they don't like me any more?', 'Have I done something wrong?' or 'How could they do this to me?'."
"One of the strategies I learned through CBT is to identify the thoughts that make me feel bad and to question them.
"By questioning my negative thoughts, I would realise that it's probably not that my friend doesn't like me any more and more likely that his bus was late.
"It helps you to be more rational. Instead of assuming that you're a terrible person and the world's awful, you look for alternative explanations, which make you feel less negative."
"Having supportive friends has also really helped me. In the past, I wouldn't ask for help from other people if I was feeling low. I would try to deal with it on my own and pretend to everyone else that I was completely OK.
"Over time, I've learned that it's really helpful to explain how you're feeling to someone close and get some support. I've realised that it's much easier to talk to other people than to try to cope with your thoughts on your own.
"I'm lucky to have a fantastic group of friends. We met in the first year of medical school and we have helped each other through all the ups and downs of training to be doctors."
"For the past 4 years, running has been a big part of my life. I'm a different person when I exercise regularly.
"When I run 2 or 3 times a week, my energy and my motivation lift. I think running really does help protect me from depression. When I don't run regularly, I'm more prone to feeling low.
"I used to have a gym membership, but would only go once a month. I always intended to do more exercise, but hardly ever got round to it.
"Then a friend of mine ran the London Marathon and I decided I wanted to do it the following year. I ran the London Marathon in 2006 and every autumn I do the Great North Run in Newcastle."
"To make sure I run regularly, I find that I need to develop a structured exercise programme for myself.
"On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I take my running stuff with me to work and on the way home I'll stop at the local park and go running. If I go home first, I sit down and then don't feel like going out again.
"I've tried to build exercise into my routine. That way I don't have to think about doing it. It's part of a normal day.
"I haven't been unwell with depression for 5 years now. Although I know I could slip back into being depressed, I feel I have several options to help me if my mood starts dipping.
"Doing exercise and keeping my body healthy keeps my spirits up. CBT makes my brain work in a different way. I stop and question myself now, instead of falling into a downward spiral.
"I get lots of support from friends, and then there's the underlying treatment with antidepressants."
See your GP if you have been feeling down for more than 2 weeks. They can discuss your symptoms and tell you about available treatments and what might be best for you.

Dr. Gail Siler is a renowned social scientist and international consultant who specializes in the field of positive health and wellness. For the past twenty-five years she has provided her consultation services to corporations, international organizations and communities to help people create positive change and focus in their lives.
For many years, Dr. Siler was an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto and taught at Humber College School of Business. Throughout her career, Gail has worked tirelessly in a variety of areas of the health sector to bring a greater understanding about the benefits of positive health to governments, the business sector, health practitioners and consumers. Her book, Directing Change and Changing Directions: A New Health Policy for Canada, explains the changes we are experiencing in Canada.
Dr. Siler also consults with the World Health Organization to assist them in developing a health promotion policy initiative. She served as faculty for several World Health Organization conferences and was visiting scientist in Scotland and Copenhagen, working on WHO initiatives as well as visiting scientist with the Kings Fund, England.
For the past decade, Dr. Siler has actively worked with schools, community centres and individuals in activities that support and encourage positive health. She has pioneered in the creation of integrative brain workshops and courses; Gail has created the Champions of Change Program and the Inner Entrepreneur Program, which engage clients to use both left and right brain skills in the process of building their inner success skill sets.
In her own words, "My work is about change: its stages, the process, and the effects of change as expressed through art or as shared with fellow humans who are living through changes in their own lives. Through my own life experiences, I have learned about the power, fear, exhilaration and alchemy of change. This knowledge I share through my workshops, courses and counseling.
Working with humans to coach, guide and support them to become more whole gives me the same feeling of awe. When we undergo change we put ourselves in an alchemical crucible. By giving our dreams permission to come alive, moving into and beyond our own fears and allowing the old us to die, we give birth to a new and wondrous self. Each of us is on our own journey to recover our wholeness."
Dr. Siler is known for her unique light-hearted and dynamic workshop style that successfully marries practical business methods with creativity techniques, drawing on both the right and left sides of the brain. "Nothing pleases me more than watching the 'aha!' light turn on inside of people."

For a very long time, IT service management has been recognized as a vital element in the context of delivering and managing IT Services. The significance of ITSM in the IT department and their impact on the concept of digital transformation is a topic that is much spoken of these days. Of late, digital transformation seems to be of high priority on the agenda of almost all CIO's. However, there is a growing need to go back to the basis of employing a modernized IT service management strategy (ITSM). This ITSM strategy will indeed ensure that digital transformation coincides with customer satisfaction, operational excellence, and IT agility. Some of the best ITSM tools are considered to be the key to digital transformation.
Digital transformation refers to the profound transformation of organizational and business activities, competencies, processes, and models in order to completely leverage the opportunities and changes of a blend of digital technologies and their rapid impact across society in a prioritized and strategic manner. The growing popularity of digital transformation points out that businesses will have to handle a rapid change across a wide range of environments.

This new tool allows you to gain contextual visibility on things that are of importance to your business in order obtain effective and efficient IT service management.

Service level management offers a native service desk or integration with several other ITSM tools.


Concept Creator is a YouTube channel which mainly releases various concept designs for upcoming and smartphones, and a new concept design has just surfaced on the channel, though this time around we're not exactly looking at a smartphone which is expected to land in the near future. The Tesla Phone concept has appeared on this YouTube channel, and this phone does run Android, but chances are that we won't see a Tesla-branded smartphone anytime soon, though there's always a possibility that the company may opt to release a phone at some point down the line.
As per usual, this design is completely imaginary, and the device does look rather nice. There are two cameras on the back of this phone, in between which you'll notice a dual LED flash. These two cameras are vertically aligned, and above them sits Tesla's logo, which blends in with the design of the phone quite nicely. The back side of this handset seems to be curved, and it looks like the phone comes with a metal frame, and a piece of glass on the back. The front panel of the device seems to be curved on the sides as well, and the side bezels are extremely thin. The top and bottom bezels on this smartphone are also rather thin, but nowhere near its side bezels. The dual camera setup protrudes on the back a bit, though not much, and it seems like the device comes with a set of front-facing speakers, while its display sports slightly rounded corner. Interestingly enough, the designer decided to include an alert slider on the left-hand side of the phone, right below its two volume buttons. This alert slider looks quite similar to OnePlus' alert slider, and it seems to be made out of metal. A power / lock key is located on the right-hand side of this phone, as you'd expect.
A Type-C USB port can be found on the bottom of the device, and next to it you'll notice a 3.5mm headphone jack. This imaginary Tesla Phone seems to sport Android 8.0 Oreo, based on its home screen and navigation button design, at the very least, and the designer showed us three color variants of the device, Black, Blue and Gray, each of which also sports a different color version of the company's logo on the back. If you'd like to take a closer look at this design, fire up the video which is embedded down below.

Tri-Power Explained
by Christopher Phillip | May 21, 2018 | Cars, GTO, Prize Packages | 0 comments
How Well Do You Know the Pontiac Tri-Power Carburetor System?
By Christopher R. Phillip
If you grew up in the 1960s, the sight of a Tri-Power carburetion system on a muscle car was a sure sign that serious performance hid under the hood. Cadillac, Oldsmobile Chevrolet and Ford all had triple-carburetor systems, but the most famous was Tri-Power from Pontiac.
If you guessed that the GTO was the first Pontiac vehicle to have tri-carburetion, you'd be incorrect. Tri-Power was first offered on the 1957 full-size Pontiacs. By 1959, the factory option was so well known that performance fans actively sought it out. By the time the GTO was introduced in the fall of 1963, the Tri-Power, sometimes called a 3/2 or a Triple Deuce, had been around for seven years.
But make no doubt about it. The GTO was the most famous Pontiac with Tri-Power carburetion, despite the fact that the option was only available on the model from 1964-1966.
The set up was simple. Three two-barrel carbs sat on a specially produced intake manifold. According to our friends at Pontiactripower.com, "The center carb supplies the fuel at all times, except under full throttle. The end carbs are extremely simple. They have no idle circuits, no choke."
The earliest GTOs used a vacuum-operated system to open the front and rear carburetors. These days, that flimsy system is rarely seen. Instead nearly all GTOs have been converted to a mechanical linkage system.

A lot of chromebooks tend to have smaller screens at around 11 or 12 inches. So if you're after a machine with a more conventional laptop size screen, this 14 inch asus model is one of the best the chromebook world has to offer. This 14 inch display offers touch, screen functionality and 1080p resolution, which was called plenty bright and sharp by wired.

If you're looking for one of the cheapest ways to get in the chromebook universe, then the duet will happily oblige sure its performance won't blow you away, but it still boasts four gigabytes of ram and up to 128 gigabytes of storage. We also like the fact that its 10.1 inch display and keyboard can detach from one another for easy portability and on the fly tablet like use it's a great companion for those who only need to perform light, browsing tasks or those who need a secondary travel friendly Machine the battery life champ acer, chromebook, spin 713 battery life can be the bane of many chromebooks, but this acer model has a tried and tested 11 hour battery life with laptopmag.
com calling its battery life amazing. We love the fact that this machine offers some of the best performance in the chromebook sector 2, with a particularly impressive display, a backlit keyboard and even an hdmi port, which is something of a rarity for a chromebook and in its steel gray finish. It looks super slick in high end, the stylus one dell inspiron 14.. Some people love a stylus others, not so much, and while most touchscreen chromebooks can be used, the variety of different styluses. This dell machine sets itself apart, as it comes with an included stylus that has its own dedicated housing. This may seem like a small thing, but is actually a huge convenience. The dell inspiron also has a large 14 inch display 4 gigabytes of ram and 128 gigabytes of storage before we reveal our final pick here are a few other great products that are worth a mention: the hp, chromebook x360 asus chromebook flip c436 hp chromebook x2, the Deluxe google pixel book go: this is a chromebook from google itself and thanks to its impressive performance, it blurs lines between chromebook and more powerful laptops. First of all, it has a large 13.3 inch screen and a particularly impressive springy keyboard, there's. Also, eight gigabytes of ram aboard meaning it can handle a wider spectrum of tasks and has a grippy textured body, which makes it easier to hold its battery. Life has been highly praised too. The pixelbook go is one of the pricier options out there, but it certainly offers a step up in terms of performance so which chromebook? Should you choose well, as with any laptop like device, you need to think about what work you're likely to be using it for and whether the device you're looking at has the performance to match things like usb and hdmi.
Ports are also a big factor. We definitely recommend keeping an eye out for pricing when it comes to the inclusion of a stylus, as that can seriously bump up the cost unnecessarily.
