Richard Caron, né le  à Péronne et décédé le  à Sèvres, est un écrivain, journaliste et scénariste français

Biographie

Admirateur dans sa jeunesse d'Alfred Jarry, Marcel Aymé et Pierre Mac Orlan, il s'intéresse très tôt à la littérature et découvre le surréalisme par l'intermédiaire d'André Blavier, grâce auquel il aura l'occasion de collaborer à la revue Temps mêlés au milieu des années 1950.
C'est à la même époque qu'il amorce une carrière de journaliste, d'abord à Centre-éclair, à Châteauroux, puis à Europe 1 dans la première moitié des années 1960.

En 1962, Charles Exbrayat lui commande un roman d'espionnage, intitulé « Un espion, ça voyage », pour la collection du Masque consacré à ce genre, et qu'il signe sous le pseudonyme de Archie Twick.

Il se lie d'amitié avec Jean Bruce qui lui ouvre les portes des Éditions Fleuve noir, ainsi que des Presses de la Cité, où il publie une quarantaine de romans policiers et une trentaine de romans d'espionnage, et créant également une série de fiction s'inspirant de faits de société des années 1960 à 1980, mettant en scène son personnage fétiche TTX 75. Une adaptation en bande dessinée sera publiée en petit format dans TTX 75.

À partir de 1967, il est le directeur de 001, un magazine consacré à l'espionnage.

Plusieurs de ses livres seront adaptés à l'écran, notamment, Il était une fois un flic, réalisé par Georges Lautner, d'après TTX 75 en famille, avec Mireille Darc, Michel Constantin et Michael Lonsdale, sur un scénario de Georges Lautner et Francis Veber.

Auteur d'une centaine de dramatiques pour la radio, ainsi que scénariste pour la télévision, il signe plusieurs séries en collaboration avec des auteurs comme Paul Fournel ou Didier van Cauwelaert et, tout particulièrement, avec Francis Veber, ainsi que des réalisateurs comme Jean-Dominique de la Rochefoucauld, Claude Vajda ou Paul Vecchiali.

Il est également l'auteur de Sur les traces du roman d'espionnage', qui paraît en 1995 dans la Revue des deux Mondes, où il retrouve Ralph Messac, un ami de longue date.

L'une de ses deux filles, Anne-Catherine Caron, elle-même écrivain et peintre, fait partie depuis 1972 du groupe lettriste fondé par Isidore Isou en 1945.

A Very Special House, written by Ruth Krauss and illustrated by Maurice Sendak, is a 1953 picture book published by HarperCollins. A Very Special House was a Caldecott Medal Honor Book for 1954 and was Sendak's first Caldecott Honor Medal of a total of seven during his career. Sendak won the Caldecott Medal in 1964 for Where the Wild Things Are, which he both authored and Illustrated. A Very Special House was re-issued by HarperCollins in 2001 in hardcover format as part of a project to re-issue 22 Sendak works including several authored by Ruth Krauss.

Description
The story, written by Krauss, is told in present tense from the little boy's point of view (a first-person narrative) and takes the form of a rhymed poem of 62 lines opening with "dee dee dee oh-h-h" and ending with "dee dee dee oh / doh doh doh-h-h-h" and has several lines with words that repeat three times such as "chairs chairs chairs" and "ooie ooie ooie". Nonsense words and phrases and phonetic misspellings of words (or mispronunciations) are scattered throughout the poem. The illustrations by Sendak, which also precede and follow the text, include occasional supplementary words and phrases.

Plot
An unnamed little boy imagines a "special house" that is "just a house for Me ME". (The cover art shows the boy drawing a picture of the house.) He then imagines all the special things that make up the house including a special bed, special shelf, special chairs, a special door, special walls, and a special table. He brings to the special house a turtle, a rabbit, a giant, a dead mouse (in a box, according to the illustration), monkeys, and "some skunkeys and a very old lion". The lion proceeds to eat all the stuffing from the "chairs chairs chairs." The boy plays with the creatures "making secrets" and laughing and running and pretending to be chickens and singing until the play becomes frantic and tumultuous and "nobody says stop stop stop". The boy describes how his house is not really anywhere but "root in the moodle of my head head head": a statement which is complemented with images of the boy apparently asleep in a bed equipped with springs under it, his bouncing off the bed, and, on the following blank pages, him somersaulting through space. The illustrations conclude with an image, at the right bottom of the verso of a pair of blank pages, of the little boy looking mischievously over his shoulder.

Critical reception
A Very Special House was published to very strong reviews. The New York Times Book Review called it "a revelation", The New Yorker described it as "original and ebullient", and Kirkus Reviews claimed that "Maurice Sendak's very entertaining pictures are perfect for Ruth Krauss's verses. Together they show just what goes on inside a little boy's mind."

New Behind the Scenes inFamous: Second Son Trailer
By: Matt Rowles | PS4 News | January 27, 2014
A new behind the scenes trailer for inFamous: Second Son was released by Sony today. It shows a few things that the developers have been focusing on in the new game which includes replicating a real city for the first time. To really make it feel authentic and capture the essence of Seattle, which is both where the game is set and where the development studio is based, they made sure to really make the in-game weather match it's real life counterpart. Check it out below.
There's no doubt that the game looks absolutely stunning. Here's hoping it is as much fun to play as it is to look at. We won't have to wait long now to get our hands on the full game as inFamous: Second Son will be launching worldwide on March 21, exclusively for Playstation 4. We're excited, are you?

Paul-Frédéric-Auguste (ou Auguste ) d'Oldenbourg, né le  au château de Rastede et mort le  à Oldenbourg, est grand-duc d'Oldenbourg de 1829 à sa mort.

Biographie
Paul-Frédéric-Auguste est le fils aîné de Pierre  et de son épouse Frédérique de Wurtemberg. Avec son frère cadet Georges, il étudie à Leipzig de 1803 à 1805, puis passe les deux années suivantes en Angleterre et en Écosse. En 1808, il assiste au congrès d'Erfurt aux côtés de son père avant de repartir en voyage en Suisse, en Italie et dans le Sud de la France.

WiFi Security Still a Major Issue
Posted on May 25, 2006 December 29, 2017 by admin
Like all new technologies WiFi has a good side and a bad side. In the case of London, Paris and New York, the good side is a marked increase in the availability of hotspot for road warriors on the go. The bad side is many of these hotspots may be rouge—designed specifically to steal information.
And, if your mobile professional is tapping into, say, a client's internal WiFi network, there's a 25% chance that network is almost completely unsecured, this according to research sponsored by RSA Security.
"It's definitely good news in the availability of wireless … but the flip side of that is you have make sure you are careful and protected," said Matt Buckley, communications manager for RSA. "Don't send email, user names, passwords—any sensitive personal data over an unencrypted link."
VPN and strong authentication are the best ways to do this, he said.
The largest year-on-year rise in WiFi network usage was discovered in London, where there are 57% more wireless network access points today than in 2005. The percentage increase in New York was an impressive 20%. In Paris, the increase from 2004 to 2006 was 119%.
And, in both London and New York, more businesses are securing their wireless networks by switching on the WEP encryption capability provided as standard.
In London WEP usage rose from 65% in 2005 to 74% in 2006. For New York, WEP usage increased from 62% in 2005 to 75% in 2006. And Paris, which has the highest levels of encryption at 78%, posted an increase over 2004's figure of 69%.
This is an encouraging sign, said RSA, although in all cities, around a quarter of the wireless networks identified as belonging to and operated by corporate entities were found to have no security measures deployed.
London has the most to be ashamed of with 26% of business networks unsecured; New York is not far behind with 25% and the Parisians come in at 22%.
"It's a very large number," said Buckley. "It's leaving the back door wide open."
Clearly, work still needs to be done to educate these organizations about the risks they face if the appropriate defenses are not deployed and enabled to protect their wireless networks.
"Such companies risk the theft of confidential and sensitive data, planting of malicious code such as viruses and backdoor Trojans, and potentially allowing their systems to be used as a launch pad for denial of service attacks and other security breaches," said Tim Pickard, area vice president of international marketing at RSA Security in a statement. "Wireless security may have been bolstered, but we can't relax yet."
Public Hotspots
The number of wireless hotspots continues to rise in some of the world's major financial districts. Last year's research detected 210 wireless hotspots on the London route. This year the figure had risen to 364, a year-over-year increase of 73%.
In New York, the annual growth rate was 15%, and almost 20% of all wireless access points were found to be hotspots, by far the highest percentage across the three cities.
In Paris, a more modest 68 wireless hotspots, equaling 12% of all access points, were discovered.
Rogue Hotspots
The problem with the increasing number of legitimate hotspots, however, comes in the form of rogue hotspots: potentially the latest platform for identity theft.
Although the purpose of the research was not to look for rogue hotspots—temporary wireless access points designed to look like the genuine article in order to capture users' confidential information—they do present a potential security issue to which business and consumers should be alert.
For example, Capgemini UK has built a test system on a laptop which emulates a commonly-seen hotspot. In its own private tests the company has observed devices connecting to this sample rogue hotspot, presumably because they have been unable to distinguish it from the real thing.
Rogue hotspots can allow Internet access and process credit card details, which means that they could be used simply and invisibly to perpetrate online identity fraud. The likelihood of this is relatively high, especially given that a rogue hotspot would allow for a higher volume of accurate details to be captured than in an email-based phishing attack.
With a laptop computer and freely available software, the research team was able to pick up information from wireless networks by simply driving around the cities' streets. In the wrong hands this type of easy access to corporate and personal networks could be used to gain access to confidential information or disrupt business, or the network could be used to launch a Web- based attack on another organization.
The research, commissioned by RSA Security and undertaken by an independent information security specialist, was conducted as part of an ongoing study to quantify both the extent to which wireless usage is growing in the world's major financial hubs, and how many companies' wireless networks freely leak data traffic into the street.
The survey was carried out using the laptop version of Airmagnet, with software capable of detecting broadcasting and non-broadcasting 802.11a, b and g WiFi devices using a Proxim Gold combination card.
When devices were detected, the software once again identified the channel, server set ID (SSID) and other network information before disconnecting from that source. The information gathered from each brief connection enabled offline analysis of the networks to identify any of the following where available:
Server Set ID (SSID)
Frequency (a, b or g)
Channel (1-11)
WEP (Y/N)
Signal strength (For exact location purposes)
Mode of operation (ad-hoc, station, access point, infrastructure)
Hardware vendor
The nature of the access point response, security levels, SSID values, broadcasting, physical location and presence of other access points with the same SSID enabled us to deduce which were public access systems and which were private business systems with a high degree of accuracy.

The Maximum Wage
PART ONE by Anne Black
PART TWO by Katherine Dike
'The Maximum Wage' is a live art show about income inequality. It is inspired by George Orwell's idea of a limitation of incomes in his essay 'The Lion and the Unicorn'. We talk about money a lot as a society, but usually within bounds described for us by others and ourselves. The aim of the event is to stimulate moments of clarity about money, status and how we 'spend' our time. With eight other artists we hope to provoke, capture, print and publish what our visitors really think about money live. All the artists have been commissioned to make new work that includes some element of publishing, all unfolding simultaneously and governed by our microclimate of production and consumption.
The centrepiece is 'The Maximum Wage' screen-print production line, where the public will help print 'Orwells' – money that can be used at the event, as well as in several Hackney businesses. Each player's 'wages' will be determined by their randomly allocated status and a spin of the wheel of fortune. Earnings will be capped at Orwell's 10:1 or Osborne's 330:1. It is the battle of the Georges.
— From Interview with David Henningham, March 2016
LONDON – On the way to 'The Maximum Wage' Performance Publishing Extravaganza at St Paul's West Hackney in Dalston, you pass the old East London and the new. There's Ridley Road, the long-standing African Caribbean street market; Turkish kebab houses, mobile phone shops, pound shops selling plastic wares; but also hipster bars and organic bakeries; art galleries and vintage clothes shops; short-term, high-rise homeless hostels next to luxury new builds and Victorian terraced houses with million-pound price tags.
The area's changing fortunes reflects what's happened in London, with the polarization of wealth. The mix is lively and fascinating. A working-class area with a melting pot of cultures, it's attracted young families and artists, and more recently, estate agents and property developers.
This is the perfect venue for 'The Maximum Wage'. The forecourt of the Church holds a farmer's market on Saturdays by Growing Communities, appealing to both shoppers and people trying to save money, but also well the intentioned and community-based.
Inside the venue, it's hectic, a little ramshackle, with a DIY, handmade aesthetic. It's as far as you can get from the white cube art gallery experience. In a commercial gallery, all is cool and quiet. There may be art on the walls, but there are rarely prices. Although the art world may be driven by money, you feel a little uncouth if you actually ask how much something is.
Here the mechanics of making and spending money are in the foreground and in your face. You're being asked to think about wealth and value, and how these are not objective facts but constructed ideas.
People mill around the stalls and the money-printing installation (more on that later), children sit at the tables crafting collages, badges and coins, there are cake stalls, you can have your portrait done in ink. Artists in fabulous, excessive costumes encourage you to take part in performances.
The atmosphere is somewhere between a village fete, a charity fundraising event and a political rally, with a little immersive theatre thrown in. It's not slick.
But there are a great variety of visitors, and the community life of the venue has encouraged all kinds of people through the doors. (Signs of the regular life of the hall are evident. Posters for the Girl Guides, amateur theatre groups and homeless drop-ins, groups that the hall hosts during the week, adorn the walls along with the artworks.) This is what makes Dalston such a rich mix, despite the million-pound luxury apartments that have sprouted up in the last few years.
When you speak to them, the artists are passionate, politically engaged. They reveal that under this playful performance about money, there's a lot at stake. They're more interested in talking to you, and finding out what you think, than in selling you their wares. Or even their ideas.
Helena Smith — Class-Based Café
Maybe it was something to do with the exquisite cakes, but I was very drawn to this stall. I spoke to Helena Smith of Eat Hackney. Helena writes about food and publishes a cookbook with locals' favourite recipes. Funds go towards North London Action for the Homeless and the Hackney Migrant Centre.
In the class-based café, you can buy the produce with screen-printed 'Orwells', but you can only buy what you've earned, according to your job role. You might wish to buy a Luxury Exclusive Oligarch Gateaux decorated with gold leaf for 450 Orwells, but if you're an unskilled worker, you can only afford Dull Small Cheese Biscuits made with hardly any ingredients (20 Orwells).
The Henningham Family — 'The Maximum Wage' print production line
How do you earn Orwells? You can take part in the screen-print production line. In one corner a screen-printing table with two stations is set up to print the money, red for 50p and blue for 20p.
It's Ping and David Henningham's event, and they're orchestrating the print production line with much energy, disappearing backstage occasionally to appear in another costume, from a blue two-piece suit to silver catsuits reminiscent of the robot in Metropolis.
We all pull straws to choose a role – a Governor, a Clerk, two Skilled Workers and four Unskilled Workers.
Naturally, the Governor earns the most Orwells and the Unskilled Workers the least. I pull a straw for Unskilled Worker (story of my life) and we're lead behind the stage curtains to dress up for our roles. Behind the stage curtain, blow up mattresses are propped against the wall, a stark reminder of the church hall's role as a shelter for the homeless one night a week.
Unskilled Workers get to wear a fetching plastic apron, plastic cap, plastic arm covers, plastic shoe covers and face mask. I cannot lie, dressed like this I feel like one of the Oompa Loompas in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Maybe this is the point. The Governor gets a corporate-looking suit.
We troop out and begin our production line. The screen-printed money is placed on an ingenious wooden conveyor belt that blows hot air and dries the ink. At the other end, the Governor sits and signs the money.
Our governor spins a wheel to decide whether we will be paid our wages in a ratio capped at 10 to 1 (as proposed by Orwell in 'The Lion and The Unicorn') or 330 to 1, which is how it stands currently in our economy. Curses – our wheel spin lands on 330 to 1. Just like in real life, the high earners win again.
Ladies of the Press 'Maximum Life' Zine
I speak with Ana Čavić of Ladies of the Press, who along with Renée O'Drobinak forms this performance-publishing duo. They are glorious in pink suits, pink wigs and black and white shoes. They carry tablets and look like hyper-real Estate Agents. They always dress up for their work in live publishing projects. Ana confesses she's a little nervous, as they produce something new and bespoke for each event, so it's always the first time they have ever done it.
Today they're publishing a satirical zine, Maximum Life, interviewing and photographing people for imaginary lifestyle magazine covers. People have a choice of Maximum Woman, Maximum Man; Career; Travel; Home, Bride; Food and Property.
Ana talks about how every level of society is targeted through lifestyle magazines. We're all meant to be aspirational and to express ourselves through objects. They encourage us to always be wanting more.
But we're so inundated with idealised, Photoshopped images, that maybe we've become numb to the aggressive way we're being manipulated. Although, the duo researched real magazines for source images, they found that they didn't need to heighten or exaggerate the sourced pictures for satirical effect, as every image was already exaggerated.
I'm inexorably drawn to the girly pink and gold magazine cover of Maximum Woman. Renée takes the photo, and with lightning speed, Ana adds some gold bling, gold butterflies and a golden pineapple. These magazine covers are compiled into the zine at the end of the day, printed and given out for people to take home.
The interviews with people and their real desires and concerns undercut the glossy lifestyle images, and it's fun seeing how the process of image manipulation works. It's an impressive feat of live, collaborative publishing.
At the end of the day, I chat with a lady called Cicely, who has been filming all day. She also volunteers at St Paul's during the week, when the hall hosts homeless people for one night. She tells me that many churches in the area provide shelter for the homeless for a night every week, so there is always somewhere to go.
Some of the people who use the shelter during the week have visited 'The Maximum Wage' event today, she said they enjoyed it, enjoyed the chance to talk and take part. "How long have you volunteered?" "Eight years." "Have you noticed it getting busier recently?" "Oh yes. It used to be maybe 50 people a night. The last couple of years, it's more like 100."
In the microclimate of production and consumption at 'The Maximum Wage', Julie Rafalski invited people to select a piece of commonwealth pie.
Initially, given the title, I'd thought it would be something to do with history of empire and colonisation, but it turned out it was inspired by Buckminster Fuller's theories of abundance and commonwealth. We could choose one slice from a selection of 'pies', each corresponding to a particular theme such as – 'What You Really Want to Study', 'Do More With Less', 'Worldwide and Equally' and 'Universal Basic Income'.
On each slice was text expanding on the concept, giving participants the opportunity to 'consume' ideas and alternative theories to the rhetoric of austerity and nation-hood. I chose a slice from the 'Fellowship of Thought' that read:
Based on the fact that there is an abundance of resources in the world (and not a scarcity), the earning your right to live mentality becomes obsolete. Unemployment becomes not a negative, but a simple fact in a society where people can be freed from a necessity to work to live… Some can engage in hobby activities or become socially engaged while others might invest or make game-changing discoveries that could potentially benefit entire populations…
It was only midday and this particular pie was diminishing rapidly but, Julie told us, "there was another one in the oven".
Sophie Herxheimer's stall invited participants to have their stories illustrated, the running title being 'What were you doing when they told you to earn a living?'
Looking at the half-dozen pages of ink illustrations already hanging up to dry when we arrived, the stories were much broader; they illustrated what people were focusing on right now, how they liked to spend their time and their aspirations and struggles.
Throughout the day there seemed to be a permanent queue of people waiting for their stories to be collected and captured in ink. I was fortunate to be just in time as I would be Sophie's last client of the day. Conscious that she'd been working for five hours straight, I felt reluctant to bombard her with a series of questions whilst she had the mentally- and artistically-taxing task of condensing what I cared to tell her about my life-at-this-point into a one-page illustration. I also didn't know how to start, feeling awkward about being simultaneously the interviewee and interviewer.
However, Sophie was evidently a skilled story-gatherer, and coaxed enough out of me to interpret my favourite painting which she asked me to describe, "that's you hiding being the tree", and crack jokes about how we should swap jobs and the appallingness of full-time poets (Sophie is also a poet). It felt like a combination of micro-psychoanalysis and a speed ink-painting masterclass, and I got to take home a copy of an illustration that summed up what I'd been preoccupied with for the past five years.
Between visiting these exhibits, I also added a couple of ideas on how to live with less to the 'Top tips from thrifty types' display board. My favorite tips were 'Embrace the lentil' and the catchy, paradoxical advice (given we were asked to think about how to save it), 'Don't let money rule your life'.
I spoke to Julie Rafalski again at the end of the day about basic income, a seemingly radical and idealistic idea, but one with a long history. Versions of Universal Basic Income (UBI) have been implemented in various locations and in various forms, such as the US Income Maintenance Experiments in the 1960s and 70s, and, more recently in Namibia and India.
Now, UBI is increasingly gaining prominence on both the left and the right for multiple reasons including technological advances threatening to make many types of jobs redundant and as a way of alleviating poverty. It will be trialled in various cities in Finland and the Netherlands, and the idea is being seriously considered in Canada and France. There's also increasing support for UBI here in the UK: It's long been part of the Green Party's policy and Labour are apparently considering it too.
As well as basic income, Julie and I talked about the financial difficulties of living in London, but also the benefits of staying here: the community, the opportunities, the work. Looking at the half-empty pies remaining on the table, Julie pointed out that some participants had taken the alternative option of writing their own ideas and hopes for a commonwealth on plain, blank pies. I also asked her what the most popular idea had been, and it was the central, biggest pie, 'Abundance', which had disappeared.
Initially, I had mixed feelings about the venue, muddied by own childhood memories of church halls and village fêtes. Also, how brilliant (albeit dicey and likely short-lived) would it be to see a satirical zine set up in front of a large publishing house or an Orwellian-money production line on the corner of a skyscraping bank? On learning more about the venue, however, I changed my mind. I only wish it had been bigger so that even more people would have encountered it. Yet the event embodied the 'think global, act local' principle and perhaps what I considered initially to be a weakness was in fact just one of its many strengths.

3. Do you think that (you/we/us) can achieve peace (frankly)? Why?
4. What's the major problems that pausing peace (your view)?
5. Have you been called a Traitor coz u choose the peace path?
but.. with time u will discover that if u kept holding the peace flag u can change so many around u.
Thank all for the Great Share in this discussion..
not many palestinian participations in this discussion so.. i will translate it to arabic hoping to have more Participations from palestinians..
We can achieve Peace as it is a normal developmental human process where humans seek social structure that support their children.
Yes, i think things are changing in opinions of both sides. I am just sad and troubled that is is taking so long.
Holding on to history instead of looking forward, nonacceptance of the other side as equals, suspicion, skepticism, racism, bigotry.
I have been told (by someone I love very much) that I weaken my country from within.
Luai, I like this list of questions. I think we will try and incorporate them into discussion groups we will have in our peace cafe in Beit Jalla on August 22nd. Thanks for starting this discussion.
If you want to ask new questions, please start a new discussion.
First of all .. let us agree that the power to change anything never existed in governments .. its always existed with people.. So if u have 10% of Palestinians (talking about Palestinians and not Arabs) so if this percentage changed to be 80%.. Am positive sure and promise u that no government can goes against people wish at least not too long time.
so the target is the human being that have a direct connect with the situation .. and i mean the Israeli and the Palestinian.. And more frankly.. If the Palestinian accepted peace.. none Palestinian (Jordanian, Syrian, Lebanese ..etc) will NOT stand against this and i can tell u specially if the refuges problem solved..
so.. the target must be the Israeli and the Palestinian human being either living in Israel/Palestine or outside as a refuges.. they r the key.. not the Syrian not the Jordanian.. not the Lebanese not the Tunisian.. Etc may they can help making peace. But never they r the solution.
from all what put here i discovered that the problem is not in what u read and refuse.. frankly .. the problem that u r refusing peace path within u.. when u accept peace as the only path that means u must sit and give the other the right to discuss u..
if u think that the power of weapons can solve israel problems .. then ill give 50 years more to dicover if the situation gona keep as now or become worse..
I love you honest and direct, cut to the chase style. :-) This indeed is a very, very apt and important topic. Like many members of this site, I am not an Israeli and I am not a Palestinian. So I will not respond directly now.
Please see and possibly respond to the discussion Stakeholders: Who are they and who do they really help? which is at http://www.mepeace.org/forum/topic/show?id=661876%3ATopic%3A66551. I think that the issues canvassed there are also relevant to this discussion. I trust that you understand that I am not challenging anyone's self-perceptions. Nevertheless I think that self-perceptions are also one of the directly related issues.
If you do that and if you can find a word that is more apt than biased, above, please use that.
I invite you to answer the questions, it is fun and I think we get a bigger picture when all play the game and address Luai questions.
Done. And yes this is a very important game. I was honestly not sure what Luai intended exactly. So I thought I'd ask for clarification first in my iniimitable way.
Really am asking all.. even whose gona read this by search engines.. and am asking that so direct DOES WE HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE OURSELVERS FIRST BEFORE ASKING FROM THE OTHER TO CHANGE..
i dun respect at all .. who says that am man / woman of peace and he / she acts in vice versa side.. maybe i cant go against any israeli doing that.. but i dun fear at all telling any palestinian (arab) that and goes against him/her.. if he/she holds the peace flag only by words and not by acts or even feelings.
when u say am in the peace path.. that means u accept peace within u .. inside u first..
When we change we alway include our past and path; but we evolve into different levels of connection with the world. This is done by so maney humans that I hope you will change some day your prescription that made you write "Probably not"
Yes about the journey. However, perfection, in my view, is unattainable for mere human beings. I doubt that I will ever be anything other than a mere human being. :-) And that concept is common to most faith traditions, including Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
Someone once said: Life is a journey, not a destination.
I agree with you about perfection the Israelis like to say that perfection is the great enemy of the Good.

Teenager caught with two knifes in one day in Renton
Declan McNicol rearmed himself after police took his first weapon.

A teenager has been jailed after being caught with knives in a Renton park twice in the same day.
Declan McNicol, 18, pled guilty to carrying knives in Tontine Park during what his lawyer described as a "complete bender".
On April 17 McNicol was stopped by police in the Renton park and yelled: "I've got a blade."
He was searched and the officers recovered a folding knife from his jacket pocket.
Tributes paid to mum and gran on 20th anniversary of tragic Loch Lomond crash
The knife was siezed and McNicol was cautioned and charged before being allowed to go on his way.
However, police received a second call later that same morning about someone with a knife in Tontine Park and when they arrived they found McNicol again.
This time he had a larger kitchen knife in his jacket sleeve.
McNicol was again cautioned and charged and taken to Clydebank Police Station.
Sheriff Maxwell Hendry asked defence agent Gail Campbell whether McNicol had been carrying both weapons when he was first stopped by police.
Ms Campbell said it was unclear, adding: "His position is that, when speaking with the social worker, he cannot say accurately what happened.
"In fairness to him it comes across that he was compliant and answering questions as best he could.
New West Dunbartonshire fire chief: "Lessons will be learned from Cameron House fire"
"He has almost been trying to assist the social worker by coming up with some sort of explanation."
She added: "I understand it was a complete bender.
"He has been associating with persons of an older age group and there was a consumption of valium."
Sheriff Hendry replied: "What I'm troubled by is that he is stopped by the police.
"I'm going to proceed on the basis that, being deprived of that first knife, he goes and gets that second knife.
"He is a man with no explanation, wandering around the streets with that knife.
"How can the court react to that with anything other than horror?"
Ms Campbell said: "He cannot provide an explanation. At age 15 he was actually himself attacked with a knife from his ear to his mouth.
"Perhaps anyone who should be acutely aware of the consequences of carrying a knife should be him.
"His mother and grandfather are in court and have had stern words with him. His behaviour is not in any way supported by his family.

"His behaviour has improved and he has returned to live with his mother. He seems to be thinking much more clearly about his actions and his mother would not have him in the house if his behaviour did not improve."
Sheriff Hendry told McNicol: "I have given this matter careful thought.
"If I were dealing with charge one alone I think I would see a way of dealing with this through a community-based disposal.
"But this is a very serious offence. You then rearmed yourself and went back into public. There is no option available other than a custodial sentence."
McNicol, of Wyndford Road in Maryhill, was sentenced to six months in prison.

If laughter was truly contagious, Suzy Delvalle's would spread pretty quickly. While some people have a signature hairstyle or fashion flair, Suzy's trademark is her joyful laughter. And she has plenty to be joyful about. Over the course of her career, she has gone from a start in banking in her native Curaçao to leadership roles at institutions like El Museo del Barrio and Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling, establishing invaluable institutional momentum creating strong programs and relationships along the way. Currently serving as the President & Executive Director of Creative Capital in New York City, Suzy works toward making artists' visions into realities. Heading into its 20th year, Creative Capital faces the challenge of functioning as an organization, sans storefront, that focuses on the artistic process rather than product, while hoping to reach a wider audience. However, its focus on process is also what makes it unlike most arts nonprofits; it is uniquely focused on artists' needs and visions.
With the above in mind, it is no surprise that when Creative Capital was looking for the second director in its history, they looked to Suzy. She lives and breathes creativity and is dedicated to pushing artistic practices to their fullest. Suzy is its accomplished leader – and cheerleader – not only for Creative Capital, but also for women of color working in the field. She gives credit to those who came before her and like the numerous powerful women she names as mentors and examples, Suzy herself is likely to be on a similar list for others.

Chedworth Halt railway station was on the Midland and South Western Junction Railway in Gloucestershire. The station opened on 1 October 1892, 14 months after the opening of the section of the line between Cirencester Watermoor and the junction at Andoversford with the Great Western Railway's Cheltenham Lansdown to Banbury line, which had opened in 1881. Villagers at Chedworth had complained that the station provided at Foss Cross was inconvenient.

The original station was very small and used an old railway carriage on the single platform as the waiting shelter. It was relocated a little further north when the line was made double track in 1902. No goods facilities were provided. The Station Master's house adjacent to the very substantial but now demolished bridge over the centre of the village still has in its back garden the steps cut into the embankment via which he would go up onto the formation and walk to the station. The village pub has a good photo of him standing on the trackbed.

The station was always lightly used and from 1925 it was downgraded to halt status, with staffing entirely withdrawn in 1954. The line closed to all traffic in 1961 and the station buildings were demolished.

Touch is the album responsible for my 30 year love affair with Eurythmics. Like most of the western world I discovered the duo via their hit "Sweet Dreams," in 1983. It's undeniably one of the great pop songs of the 80's. But Touch is the album that grabbed me and turned me into a fan, but also something more than a fan.
I can remember memorizing and analyzing the lyrics to each and every song; staring at the album cover as the record spun on my turntable; and, in non-cable-ready 1980's Brooklyn, staying up until 12:30 AM at the end of the week hoping Friday Night Videos would play one of their songs. Although I practiced the same level of near religious devotion with many other bands at the time – there was something about Eurythmics' music that had meaning for me, connected with me on a personal level, perhaps, more than any other. Somehow this new wave group from the UK perfectly synced with the sensibilities of a 16-year old African-American kid from Crown Heights – and that relationship has endured for 30 years. It feels almost impossible for me to sum up how and why I feel the way I do about this band in a single post – – so let's do this in stages. Let's start off by talking about Annie Lennox's voice.
A voice that simultaneously sends chills down your spine and warms your heart. At one moment you feel like the singer is turning her back on you and the next, running towards you for an embrace. Within one song she conjures a myriad of emotions – love, anger, fear, hope. The voice is vulnerable. It's brittle. It soothes and it twists the knife.
Read the lyrics of the first four lines of "Who's That Girl," the first song on Side B.
This person she sings about sounds pretty great. You'd want to wake up next to him every morning, right? But listen to her sing these lines and immediately it's a completely different story.
Even without hearing the rest of the song you're suspicious of this lover – his motives, his actions, his words. What Is Lennox conveying – is it nostalgia tinged with cynicism? A mixture of joy shadowed by fear? Continue listening and you know it's all of the above. Yes, love is a stranger, but it's also a minefield – and an unfaithful lover is just one of the dangers leading to a broken heart.
Now, pop music is less of a manual and more of a beacon – a way for me to remember and reconnect with some of the feelings and experiences I had 30 years ago. And Annie Lennox guides me back like no one else.

Annie Lennox, what a woman, what a voice. I read an autobiography of her a few years ago, very interesting. Great post.
Thank you! Annie's bio is high on my to read list.

Bobble aims to make water better and become the Britta of sports/water bottles. A great idea why wait for water to filter then pour into a bottle, just fill and go. It is also BPA free and reusable, how nice.
With it only costing $9.95 for an 18.5oz, what do you have to lose, when normal water cost $2 at WAWA. They say you should replace the filter after 40 gallons thats 640oz 34.59 refills. so at roughly $2 for 24oz that is 26.66 bottles @ $2=$53.00 seems like a savings.
Pretty clever, camera do the gps tagging so guess what time for GoBandit GPS camcorder. Hey when you get old and don't remember where you have been this might come in handy.
Napper aims especially at sleeping in public transport.
It consists of a hood, whose padding makes it comfortable to lean against window panes.
It's wide cut and the scarf make it possible for you to shield yourself from the environment and create your own private cocoon.
Bluetooth headphones are integrated in the hood, which, together with software for the mobile phone, provide sound to fall asleep with.
The entire system is foldable into a compact bag and can be easily used for daily commuting as well as for longer.
The hood's inlay is padded with 3Mesh material, which has a soft cushioning effect and high shock absorption against the vibrating windows.
On the outer side of the headphones is covered in Sorbothane, a plastic foil which has noise absorbing properties.
Inside the hood, Napcap'are integrated Bluetooth headphones which, together with the traveler's mobile phone, play music, send the wake-up alarm and the warning signal, in case the traveler's luggage is moved.
The headphones can easily be taken out of the hood, when you want to wash it.
Small LED lights on the headphones give information about the remaining battery life and Bluetooth connection. The headphones lithium-polymer-battery is charged via USB, which is integrated in the headphone and can simply be plugged into your computer. There is also a mini-jack on the headphones, if you want to use them with a device which doesn't support Bluetooth.
To ensure a carefree sleep, the hood NapCap comes together with the luggage lock NapSecure. It doesn't only lock your luggage, but is connect to your mobile phone via Bluetooth. If the luggage should be moved away from its owner further than one meter, he will be warned by an alarm on his headphones, his mobile phone and the lock itself.
The lock can be opened by using your mobile phone, but also through a mechanical lock, in case your battery is low or your phone is lost.
The Bluetooth lock is charged, same as the headphones, using an integrated USB port. The luggage lock and the headphones communicate via Bluetooth with the software NapApp which can be installed as well on touchscreen as on keyboard mobile phones.
Next to the control of the luggage lock, it contains a alarm clock which helps to wake up at according to your preferred time, location (if the mobile supports GPS) or sleep stage. With the help of a reaction game, which should be played directly after waking up, the software analyses how recreational your nap was and whether or not you should shorten or extend your next nap. Furthermore the software has a build in voice recorder, to capture the ideas you have just before dozing off.
Boards shaped like fishes, skeletons and sea horses, oh and they are aluminum. You might not be doing a lot of tricks on them but cruising down the street, oh so cool.
Here's the extra trick part: there are illuminated riser pads under the trucks to give the board an underglow effect at night.

"A New Zealand beverage company has successfully recovered five crates of whiskey and brandy that were abandoned on Shackleton's failed 1908-09 'Nimrod' expedition to Antarctica. I know what you're thinking: 'Nimrod expedition?' Who was their PR agency? The crates had been broken open by shifting ice and a few bottles were lost, but the recovery crew was surprised to find two cases of brandy alongside the three cases of whiskey they knew were there. I predict that some of these bottles will be sold at auction and bring in nearly $15k apiece. Then those people will drink them and die, but before they die, they'll realize that Shackleton abandoned all the booze because it was poisonous."

My trip to New Zealand was my first ever international solo trip. Well, my first real big solo trip, ever. The idea of figuring out transport from destination to destination was really daunting. Really, really daunting. Normally I'd be okay with renting a car but factor in hours and hours of driving and the whole driving on the other side of the road thing and that idea died pretty quickly. I hate driving, except for the fact that I can sing along to my favorite country songs.
I considered hopping on the Kiwi Experience for a good period of time as it touched a little bit of everything I wanted to do. As I kept researching, my itinerary ended up diverging from the trip's itinerary, and frankly, I like the outdoors more than I like being outgoing. After booking my huts for the Routeburn track, I said hell with it, I'll figure out how to travel around the South Island without a car. To my surprise, it was surprisingly easy.
