Vehicle Networking & Connectivity
Bridging the fragmented automotive OS landscape
By Katia Shabanova
In-vehicle infotainment turns your car into a mobile office, if everything works as expected.
How much does the average person spend behind the wheel daily? According to a study done by the Harvard Health Watch, average Americans spend 101 minutes per day driving. Considering this, today's car is not just a means of transportation, but also a place where you want to maximum comfort or even a transitional office.
USB ports and Bluetooth are becoming standard features, even at the lower end of the car market. Whether commuting or going to a business meeting, the possibility to connect your favorite music or a business presentation recording is an option many would like to have. Sharing data across multiple devices, including your vehicle, is no longer an alternative or a luxury—it's a must.
Today's automotive operating system landscape, however, remains fragmented, which causes frustration for consumers using removable storage media with their in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems when on the road.
According to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc., the global automotive infotainment market is expected to reach $37.62 billion by 2025. However, most removable storage media formatted with Apple's or Microsoft's file systems, such as HFS+, APFS, NTFS, exFAT, or FAT32 can't be recognized by IVI systems which are typically run on Linux. This frustrates car owners. Embedding drivers for full read-and-write access to any file system would be a relief to auto makers and end-users looking for maximum comfort and user experience.
Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), one of the much-anticipated projects of the Linux Foundation, could be the remedy to the fragmented automotive operating-system ecosystem. Most major car manufacturers support the project. One of AGL's focuses is to build the operating system that would control everything from connected-car features to autonomous vehicles.
The deployment of drivers to access exFAT, NTFS, FAT32, HFS+, and APFS-formatted storage on IVI systems will allow automotive suppliers to deliver the most cutting-edge infotainment systems to OEMs, without having to worry about file system format compatibility, full HD or 4K data transfer speeds, and high CPU loads. Car owners will have the freedom to connect USBs, SD cards, digital assistants, or other external storage media directly to IVI systems and instantly enjoy audio and video recordings, regardless of file format.
Last year, Volvo took steps toward integrating Android-based infotainment systems into its cars. Google Maps, the Google Play Store, and Google Assistant and, consequently, thousands of apps will be available in future versions of Volvo's Sensus infotainment systems directly from their IVI systems. Some Google content has already been made available to Volvo owners through the mobile app Android Auto. In the near future, however, drivers will be able to access all apps directly from their IVI systems, instead of managing the content through a mobile device.
Drivers from Paragon Software are used by millions of users world-wide and have been already successfully preinstalled on major HDD storage products. Random users statistics of the consumer edition of Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon Software (available on GooglePlay) revealed that NTFS remains the most popular file system that Android users need to access. In terms of file operations, when connecting external storage media to their Android systems, 66% of users had to overview the directory list, 26% copied files, 14% deleted files, 8,8% moved files, 7% viewed picture files, and surprisingly, only 1.9% read music files. Out of 44% users mounting volumes, 61% needed to access NTFS-formatted volumes, 30% needed to access FAT, 8.5% needed to access exFAT, and just 0.5% needed to read and write to HFS+. Participants used Android versions 6.0 and above.
In summary, Android users most often need to copy, move, and delete files. The majority of Android users need to access pictures, videos, and audio files.
This is just an example of how consumer trends can correlate with IVI development for the future car. The collected statistics clearly show the need for cross-platform software integration. Paragon Software has joined Renesas R-Car Consortium and Automotive Grade Linux to support automotive semiconductor manufacturers in delivering next-generation data storage for future vehicles.
File System Link by Paragon Software is already available for integration with SoCs running automotive OSs, including Android, Linux, Integrity, and QNX. Paragon's drivers provide reliable and high data throughput speeds, while also ensuring a low CPU load. The software enables direct access to physical drives as well as buffered I/O access, making it possible to process unsupported partitions and to perform any operation from browsing content to reading and modifying files, and copying and creating new files and folders all while maintaining a satisfactory performance level. The company is the first to bring to the market APFS support for Linux systems with the release of APFS for Linux.

For many years we have all been told that theres no such thing as free energy. Well there is. Earth generates its own electricity. Earth is itself a massive electro magnetic generator. Tesla knew this and proposed a system that would gather this energy and distribute it freely. He was side tracked by indutriallists at the time who wanted to make more money which is why we are now all being ripped off by energy companies and over 30'000 people in the UK are dying of the cold every winter. It's a bloody discrace! Inventors around the world are being locked up and ridiculed for coming up with over unity machines and generators. Welcome to our world inventors and radio boffins. UFOlogists have been treated this way for decades!
Tesla - Free Energy, Zero Point Energy, SCALAR Energy, Electrostatic/Piezo Electricity. All the same thing?
Tesla nearly saved the world from greedy energy companies. But they made sure that their dangerous low frequency electricity prevailed. Machines run hot and break down. People are killed by electric shocks and many thousands die in fuel conflicts over oil that we shouldn't need.
Forbidden Technology of Nikolai Tesla -
Longitudenal Electricity - Erich Dollard, Extract: (Above right video)
Tesla was capable of transmitting electrical power over huge distances wirelessly, just using simple materials.
This electrostatic power is free and vastly more efficient than our present systems. Imagine having light-bulbs that are many times brighter than ours that run for free, the energy being returned on the opposite half cycle.
This wireless electical power is the same free stuff as was used by the ancient Egyptians in the Great Pyramid at Giza. (See the Ancient Aliens page for more on that theorum)
These longitudenal waves travel at twice the speed of light!
This last video on the right has some very interesting information and quotes:-
"The high speed rotating variable capacitor that when hooked to a battery generates electricity from nowhere".
"Tesla stated repeatedly that his radio was non electromagnetic" "Once physicists grabbed ahold of electricity,
all knowledge of it ceased"
Electrons have nothing to do with electricity. Electrons are the rate that electricity is destroyed"
"Electricity flows in the space between the wires, this has always been known by engineers"
This technology has been hidden from the public since 1919 and could revolutionize the world we live in.
The people that still dabble in these radio experiments are being threatened and shut down like criminals.
(No supprise there then!)
(Above video) The Missing Secrets of Nikolai Tesla - (47 mins) Amazing Stuff!
Inventions that were suppressed by J. P. Morgan and other greedy industrialists.
As well as discovering free SCALAR/electrostatic energy that can be transmitted to any location wirelessly. Tesla invented a death ray. He split the information to different governments preventing any one nation having a monopoly on this deadly technology. Beam weapons are now being used by the Russians, Chinese and the US forces. HAARP. Capable of massive distruction and weather manipulation.
Tesla had a small battery powered resonator device that could shake a building down. He tried it on a new steel building on Wall ST. The men working on the building thought they were having an earthquake. This device fitted in his pocket!!
Is this the same tech that the Isrealites used to destroy the walls of Jericho using the Ark of the Covenant that received this free energy from the Great Giza Pyramid power transmitter? (See the Ancient Alien page for more on that story)
The US government have conveniently lost many of Tesla's 700+ patents.
One of Tesla's theorized inventions is commonly referred to as Tesla's Flying Machine, which appears to resemble an ion-propelled aircraft. Tesla claimed that this flying machine would run without the use of an engine, wings, ailerons, propellers, or an onboard fuel source. Initially, Tesla pondered about the idea of a flying craft that would fly using an electric motor powered by grounded base stations. Later Tesla suggested that perhaps such an aircraft could be run entirely electro-mechanically. The theorized appearance of these craft would typically take the form of a cigar or saucer.
Are these the very design concepts the Nazis took on and developed in the 1940's with help from Victor Schauberger and Dr H.R Miethe?
Many of Tesla's discoveries were of groundbreaking importance. In the United States his fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture.
Tesla demonstrated wireless energy transfer to power electronic devices as early as 1893, and aspired to intercontinental wireless transmission of industrial power in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project.

(Left) Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower was demolished in 1917 by the US Marines. Apparently it was a security risk. The Germans were going to take it over? How convenient. The world is on the verge of free electrical wireless energy and the frickin Marines move in and blow it up. (with some difficulty as it was so well built) They did run some tests on it first though.
Nicolai Tesla. 1856 -1943.
(Above) Tesla with his radio controlled airship c. 1900 - The first UAV.
Tesla understood that the Earth itself was a massive electro-magnetic generator and that this energy could be tapped straight from the air with a simple receiver tower that would then pass this charge to smaller towers and finally to receivers attached to lights, cars, aircraft and anything else you can think of.
It looks just like the Great Pyramid of Giza transmitting power to smaller pyramids and objects like Cleopatra's needle, (obelisks) Djed pillars and the Ark of the Covenant.
(See the Ancient Aliens page)
Tesla's magnifying transmitters are the ultimate, most efficient means to acquire and distribute this electrical power. The world wide system was originally designed to work in a grid pattern with Earth's natural, electro-magnetic energy which concentrates at certain nodes like Giza and Stonehenge.
Insidentally these nodes may be the reason for areas like the Bermuda and Dragons Triangles. These areas were previously part of this grid sysem that sunk 1000's of years ago. Sunken Piezo Nodes. (See below or the USO page for more.)
The global grid or node locations are distributed equidistant to each other.
(Above) Check out all these patents. This is just a fraction of the patents that Tesla registered throughout his long life.
Piezo Nodes. This is similar to the grid that Tesla proposed. See the map below for more.
(Left) Tesla, with Roger Boskovich's book "Theoria Philosophiae Naturalis", in front of the spiral coil of his high-frequency transformer at East Houston St., New York.
(Below) Tesla sits below the Tesla Coil in his Colorado Spring Laboratory. The coil creates millions of volts of electricity with a frequency rate of 100,000 alterations per second.
The Egyptians knew about this free energy and harnessed it with the Great Pyramid.
The Current Situation - Energy Rant
I am just fed up with all the endless arguments about clean energy.
Tesla's energy transmission system is about as clean as it gets.
Why is Tesla's system always ignored when people HAARP on about green energy such as Hydro electric, solar, wave or wind power. Nuclear power is the most rediculess joke of all. Especially when we go to war over it.
And what is this rediculess obsession with wires? Every documentary you see about new energy innovations always seem to go on about new super conductors and how much more efficient their new wires will be. Less wastage blah blah!
We don't need wires! Loose the feckin wires!
If I invented a new TV remote with wires, I would be laughed off the face of the earth, and rightly so! So why are we listening to this utter bullshit?
We don't need these new billion dollar underground hydrogen reactors either. They are just trying to rob what little money we have left after the banking system has repeatedly raped us. Also the media don't help with their childish - not in my back yard arguments that they constantly stir up.
What is this obsession that scientists have with atom destroying tech that is so dangerous and stupidly expensive? We now also have fracking for shale gas that causes earthquakes and can poison the water table. (As can normal oil/gas extraction)
These muppets are still trying to convince us that we have no choice but to go with their expensive alternatives and never even mention that the Earth generates and collects all the energy we need. All we have to do is tap it.
The other huge benefit of Tesla's wireless grid is that it won't get shorted out by ion storms/solar flares and natural disasters. If you don't have wires then they can't snap under the weight of ice and snow for instance. No more power cuts.
The system we have now can't cope with the projected 30% increase in demand in the next 15 years. It's time for change.
N = Megalith Node. V = Vortex. ? = Possible Missing Node Location.
= Capital Pyramid Node. n = Newly Discovered Structures.
The Ancient Power Grid.
The larger pyramids (Nodes) around the world were capable of collecting electricity from the atmosphere in the same way as Tesla's tower.
This power could then be transmitted to the local
area or sent on to other smaller megaliths.
(Subnodes)
The amount of power that could be drawn appon would be much greater in the vortex regions like Bermuda and Japan. These are areas where sunken city structures have been found that may still be focusing the cosiderable electro magnetic activity.
The structures are
probably still gathering this energy even though they are now under water.
Tesla proposed a network of 9 towers around the world that would have distributed all the power we need. Did he know that the ancients had beaten him to it by thousands of years? Probably.
He was just rediscovering the ancient grid system.
This system was probably designed at the end of the last iceage after the great meltdown/flood.
The Atlanteans dispersed around the world at this point as their cities sank. They took the electrostatic technology with them to higher ground to start over again. The same process happened in the ocean seas around Japan, China and off the coast of India where huge submarine structures have been found.
If you follow the logic of the grand power grid layout, there may well be a sunken Capital Node in the mid Atlantic. Unless it is the newly discovered submarine city structure north west of the Canary Islands.
(That can be seen on the USO page, Atlantian Candidates video 1)
Authors like Graham Hancock have proposed that Atlantis may have been situated in Antarctica at a time when the continent further north of its current location. This continent has it's own seperate tectonic plate and may have been pushed south quite recently in geological terms. If the climate changed dramatically and the ice built up very fast on Antarctica the weight of the ice build up on that continent would have dragged it down to its current location due to Earths centrafugel force/spin. This could of happened rappidly.
VORTEX's
I am not suggesting that the vortex areas get their power from sunken structures but that these structures merely focus these energies that may inadvertantly zap aircraft and ships in the vicinity. With a lot of help from the freak weather, strong water currents and natural gas coming up from the sea bed.
This ancient power grid could have been used as an air defence system. Asuming they had something to defend against.
Is this sunken system still active? Is this system being used by some Alien presence that don't like us getting too close to their submarine bases?
I prefer the Atlantian Power Grid theory, it makes more sense. Although both are not mutally exclusive. All the theories on this site can quite happilly sit together. Mainstream science will deny both these theories as fantasy of course. They have no interest in free energy or free anything else for that matter. There are cures for cancer that they can't patent so they won't let us have them. Also many of these scientists are or were Christian and refuse to adhere to anything that does'nt fit into their Christian epoch.
This is why the dates of these structures around the world are so disputed. There are to many vested interests in keeping us ignorant of anything that might be for free.
The vast majority of scientists work for big business and or currupt governments and consider themselves above international law.
You only have to look at Von Braun and all the othr Nazis that got into bed with the US after WWII. Their crimes against humanity were simply just glossed over.
The Nazis were also employed by the newly formed CIA after that war and are possibly still running that clandestine organisation.
(See the Spy pages for more on that thread)

Scientists say they have invented a way of turning traffic into electricity. (Ancient Egyptian style piezo power actually!)
The bright sparks at the Technion Institute of Technology in Haifa have developed a road that generates power when vehicles pass over it. And they hope the technology will reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
In a university car park, Haim Abramovich and his team run a heavy truck repeatedly over
a special stretch of tarmac. "The name of the game is harvesting," he told Sky News.
"Harvesting means energy which is available but is going to waste.
"So what I want to is to harvest part of that energy and make it useful. This is the name
of the game and this is my dream."
Making his dream come true are hundreds of rugged metallic crystals. When put under
pressure they generate electricity.
So lined up in special pads buried under the tarmac, they create power.
It is called 'piezo' electricity. It has been around a while, but never used like this before.
One truck can generate 2,000 volts, but to create useful electricity you need a lot of amps
too and that requires many pads over hundreds of metres and a high percentage of
traffic, preferably moving quickly.
The team is pioneering the idea on a 30 metre strip of highway near Tel Aviv. It could be used to power traffic lights or street lamps already, but with sufficient progress the technology may one day generate enough electricity to send power to the national grid. A company called Innowattech is working with the team to develop the technology. It estimates a kilometre of 'electric road' could generate enough power for 40 houses. There are also plans to put the crystal generators in railways, where trains can be guaranteed to apply pressure in the same place over and over again.

Quotes from Tesla's writings and interviews.
"I am now planning aerial machines devoid of sustaining planes, ailerons, propellers, and other external attachments, which will be capable of immense speeds" - Tesla's autobiography
To a Westinghouse manager, Tesla wrote "You should not be at all surprised, if some day you see me fly from New York to Colorado Springs in a contrivance which will resemble a gas stove and weigh as much. ... and could, if necessary enter and depart through a window.'" (7-7-1912)
"It will be a small box, not a huge cigar"
Page. 198 Tesla: Man Out of Time by Margaret Cheney
Tesla intended the world to have a free, wireless, source of power...
"My power generator will be of the simplest kind -- just a big mass of steel, copper and aluminium comprising a stationary and rotating part, peculiarly assembled."
According to museum officials at The Nikola Tesla museum in Belgrade, he left sketches of interplanetary ships. This information, however, has not been made available to western scholars.
"The flying machine of the future -- my flying machine -- will be heavier than air, but it will not be an airplane. It will have no wings. It will be substantial, solid, stable. You cannot have a stable airplane. The gyroscope can never be successfully applied to the airplane, for it would give a stability that would result in the machine being torn to pieces by the wind, just as the unprotected airplane on the ground is torn to pieces by a high wind. My flying machine will have neither wings nor propellers. You might see it on the ground and you would never guess that it was a flying machine. Yet it will be able to move at will through the air in any direction with perfect safety, at higher speeds than have yet been reached, regardless of weather and oblivious of 'holes in the air' or downward currents. It will ascend in such currents if desired. It can remain absolutely stationary in the air even in a wind for great length of time. Its lifting power will not depend upon any such delicate devices as the bird has to employ, but upon positive mechanical action." [Here it is again: "mechanical"]
"You will get stability through gyroscopes?" I asked. " Through gyroscopic action of my engine, assisted by some devices I am not yet prepared to talk about," he replied.
Notice that 'eccentrics' G,H,J, & K in the drawing below, DO throw their weight around in a "gyroscopic action", like spinning tops. The "device" could be the orientation of the 4 objects which generates an unprecedented, physical law breaking, 5th spin, 5th orbit, without the centripetal force physically needed to hold it there.
Science: "The ability of a gyroscope to 'defy gravity' is baffling." and "When a force is applied to try to rotate the spin axis of a gyroscope, the gyroscope reacts to the input force along an axis perpendicular to the input force" "according to the right-hand rule".This is called "gyroscopic precession".
Dr. Tesla smiled an inscrutable smile. "All I have to say on that point is that my airship will have neither gas bag, wings nor propellers," he said. "It is the child of my dreams, the product of years of intense and painful toil and research. I am not going to talk about it any further. But whatever my airship may be, here at least is an engine that will do things that no other engine ever has done, and that is something tangible."
From the book Tesla's Engine -- A New Dimension For Power
Tesla had contracted with both Allis Chalmers and with Westinghouse's railway and lighting division to build a 36,000 rpm turbine to "fly from New York to Colorado Springs in a contrivance which will resemble a gas stove" - July 7th 1912.

We are all checked in at a lodge in a state park, not far out of town. Nothing fancy, but very quiet. I'll be here part of the time, and he'll have it to himself some.
You are right. This is important. Quiet. Away from our house so we don't feel like we have stuff to do. God meets us here.

Whether you have a broken heart, an insatiable wanderlust, or a love affair with pho or bánh mi, consider Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam as your next travel destination.
After seeing a snowy photo of my ex with his new girlfriend, I bought my Saigon roundtrip ticket in a heartbeat. There is no use wallowing in self pity. And what better way to bask in singlehood bliss than to go backpacking solo in Vietnam? Why be in the depressing snow when you know that "The Heat is on in Saigon"?
I have traveled alone in the past, but this is the first time for me to rough it up in a party hostel. Anything to get as far away as possible from my comfort zone. Working in the hospitality industry, I am usually spoiled silly with luxurious accommodations. Once, I even won a stay in Mandarin Oriental, Prague in our company raffle. Staying in a five-star hotel in the Czech Republic near Charles Bridge was ultimately one for the books.
Inspired by the very informative blog of my friend Cammy from university, I decided to book the HOSCAR-award-winning hostel The Hideout in Saigon. I was pleasantly surprised when my total bill in Booking.com for my four nights in The Hideout was around PHP1,800. I initially thought that was the rate per night, but it covered my entire five-day stay — truly a bang for the buck! Just expect that you'll get what you pay for — definitely use flip flops while showering, and don't go ballistic when you notice that the AC is a goner from 11am to 5pm.
Despite these little hiccups, nothing compares to the amazing vibe of the hostel. Aside from free breakfast (a choice of bread and egg or fruit salad), it also comes with two free beers every night from 7pm to 8pm. What made the place a winner for me was the Buy 1 Take 1 cocktails from 8pm to 9pm, which included BUCKETS of Coke rum or Fanta vodka. Yes, I drank straight out of a blue or red bucket every night, sipping from three straws at a time. What more can you ask for for only VND 220,000 (approx. PHP500)? Naturally, the hostel guests gravitate towards the Hideout bar next door around this time. So even when you travel alone, you're sure to meet a whole lot of fellow backpackers with exciting travel stories up their sleeves.
The only Asian girl in the club yo!
Another highlight of The Hideout Hostel is its awesome pub crawls. Located in Pham Ngu Lao Street, the hostel is parallel to Buy Vien Street, also known as beer street, one of the most happening places for backpackers in Ho Chi Minh. It's chaotic, dirty, and makes for a night of debauchery (if you remember it), but maybe that's why I love it so much. It's a beautiful mess.
Buy Vien Street. The place to be.
Chloe, Emily, and Josh were the best hosts for the first pub crawl I ever joined in my life. For only VND 30,000, we hopped from one club to another, taking free shots and dancing to unexpected 90's hits, including Oasis' "She's Electric" and even a dose of Backstreet Boys. I was euphoric, elated, but definitely not manic. Vietnam gave me a natural high.
Just when I thought I have it worse in my country, the motorcyclists in the Philippines seem like angels compared to the crazy daredevils in Vietnam who don't stop their car even when pedestrians are in plain sight. Not once did I cross the street without other people next to me as my "shield". I was that scared (yes, even when inebriated)! But thankfully I made it home in one piece. I am still writing on my blog after all.
And to make things more exciting, I had my first motorcycle ride with my new French friend who backpacks around Vietnam in two wheels. If my mom was here she'd kill me, but you only live once, right? And ooh la la, who can say no to a handsome French guy?!
The street food in Vietnam is another story. Forget about hygiene (they touch your bread and money at the same time), and simply enjoy the burst of fresh flavors and cilantro in practically every meal. I absolutely loved all the street food I tried, especially the xoi man, which is basically like a banh mi with fragrant sticky rice, minus the bread.
For heartier meals, do try to sit in the low tables and chairs on the street for a truly authentic experience. You'll get a taste of local Vietnamese favorites such as thit heo nuong xa (lemongrass pork chops) and goi cuon (fresh spring rolls).
On my last night, I splurged on seafood near the corner of Buy Vien Street, in Mimosa Restaurant. The fresh oysters were bigger than my palm and I had a whole plate of steamed crab claws. I was sitting on a chair facing the street, Parisian style. Simply divine.
My favorite experience in Vietnam is my whole day excursion in Mekong Delta, with our very fun Vietnamese tour guide Jimmy. I only trust the hostel for tours so I spent about VND 230,000 (around PHP 530) which came with aircon transportation and a light lunch — still not bad for an eventful day!
After a night of crazy partying, I miraculously woke up for the 8am call time. After about two hours of nursing a hangover while in the bus, we finally got on a boat going to the first island, where there is a coconut candy factory. The sweet treats melt in your mouth and tastes like the Filipino latik, especially the pandan-flavored ones. Since I was just backpacking, this is the closest I could get to a pasalubong that would fit in my bag, so I bought three packs to bring back home.
After a light lunch in another lovely island, we visited the bee farm and had a taste of honey tea, with a dash of calamansi juice. We also had an assortment of tropical fruits. Yum!
Here's the not-so-yummy part…touching a snake! But I did it for the gram.
The best part was the relaxing ride in a paddle boat through a lovely mangrove. This is me with my girlfriends!
Perhaps the most heartbreaking moment for me during the trip was when I had a chance to catch a glimpse of Vietnam's harrowing history from the war. I couldn't spend more than an hour in the War Remnants Museum, because I was crying so much looking at all the somber photos of the Agent Orange victims. The fact that some of them still had a reason to smile despite their physical deformities made me question my place in the world.
To cheer myself up, I rode the non-motorized "tricycle" with a local guide on the way back to the hostel. I was scared for my life being overtaken by buses and taxis without a helmet on but he promised me "no accidents" so I held on for dear life. Life is one big adventure!
As soon as I arrived Manila from my red eye flight, I slept a few hours and went straight to my new psychiatrist and psychologist, to adjust my medications and for my dose of cognitive behavioral therapy (more on this in a future blog entry). While Vietnam was loads of fun, it also made me look inwards and realize that there is so much to live for.
As a fellow backpacker from England told me, I am "too blessed to be stressed". He said I have travel, freedom, and life. What's not to love about that?
I suppose he's right. And I am secretly in love with him. Who would've thought I'd have a Miss Saigon moment?!
I hate to say this cliche line but what happens in Vietnam, stays in Vietnam.
*Shoutout to my Dutch girlfriend Kim and Canadian "little brother" Daniel for making me feel truly welcome from day one! See you guys in Manila!

Trial Starts Tuesday for Diego Gomez, Colombian Student Facing Prison Time for Sharing a Paper Online
By Maira Sutton
Colombian student Diego Gomez uploaded an academic paper to document-service Scribd a few years ago to share with his graduate school peers who, like him, studied biodiversity and amphibious animals.
When the author of the paper later found out about this, he decided to press criminal charges against Gomez last year. Due to Colombia's heavy-handed copyright laws (which are called rights of the author, or derecho de autor in Spanish), he could go to prison for up to eight years as well as face crippling monetary fines.
We first wrote about this case about a year ago, and now, following a series of delays, Gomez begins his trial this coming Tuesday, June 30.
Gomez wrote about his upcoming trial on Colombian digital rights organization, Fundación Karisma's, website:
[Last year] I wanted to bring attention upon the case I was facing. A year has passed and because of your support, there are more of us who think that sharing can't be considered a crime in Colombia, nor anywhere else in the world. In this time, the support received from different people and organizations has opened the debate about how the lack of balance in copyright laws may affect anybody, and thus is a matter that concerns everybody.
Fundación Karisma is continuing to support Gomez in his case to fight against these excessive criminal charges. The organization says that he has good standing for a strong legal defense for two reasons. First, there was no malicious intent behind his sharing the paper online. Second, there was no actual harm to the author's economic interests as Gomez made no profit off of the paper.1 Under Colombian criminal law, the court must weigh both of these factors, and it would take a significant misrepresentation of facts to paint Gomez as a criminal who posted the paper online for private profit.
What remains disturbing is that Colombia has such extreme copyright laws in the first place—which directly resulted from the country's trade agreement with the United States. The government reformed its criminal laws in 2006, in order to fulfill the trade deal's restrictive copyright standards. It expanded criminal penalties for copyright infringement as it increased possible prison sentences and monetary fines.
Moreover, Colombia does not have a flexible fair use system like in the United States. It has a closed list of exceptions and limitations to the rights of authors. This list was issued more than 20 years ago and are so narrowly tailored that they don't account for all kinds of new digital tools and content uses. Instead of obligating Colombia to enact more safeguards for users, students, and innovators by including fair use in the trade agreement, the United States instead forced its trading partner to enact even harsher criminal penalties.
This is the same problem we're confronting with the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The U.S. is continuing to negotiate deals where they are fighting for excessive criminal provisions that uphold the interests of Big Content at the expense of everyone else, by failing to encourage its trading partners to adopt crucial public safeguards like fair use.
Gomez's case is one that demonstrates the terrible costs of secretive copyright policy laundering. He posted the paper online because he was excited that he found it, because he wanted to share that knowledge with others who shared his passion. Copyright should not turn students like Gomez into criminals for reveling in their quest for knowledge nor for helping others to do the same. We will be monitoring the case closely, as we continue to call on the Colombian government to drop all charges against him.

Are you in the United States? Then send a message to your lawmakers to secure open access to taxpayer-funded research and support the FASTR bill.
1. Initially the article was posted on Scribd and was available for download without a fee. But at some point afterwards, the website changed its terms of use to require unregistered users to pay five dollars to download documents. When Gomez realized this, he took down the article immediately. The author of the paper may have believed that Gomez was attempting to profit in light of Scribd's new fee system, but Gomez did not make anything off of the work nor did he intend to do so.

how do i make this an active navbar. in my other pages i am using require_once to get this header, but everytime i switch the active navbar resets.

A: Remove your JS and for each menu item check (with PHP) if current page path is equal to that one. Something like:

<a class="btn<?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/category3') echo ' active'; ?>" href="/category3">Category 3

<a class="btn<?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/resourcesTasks/index.php') echo ' active'; ?>" href="/resourcesTasks/index.php">Kaban

...

Didn't test it, but you get the point.

Wisconsin Badgers a home court favorite in NCAA Tourney
By Tim Van Vooren
NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament
MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Last month, Badgers Coach Bo Ryan was asked about the possibility of his team coming to Milwaukee for the NCAA Tournament. "Milwaukee?" he said. "We haven't even played Indiana yet!" Now, Wisconsin is gearing up to play American on Thursday, March 20th at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in downtown Milwaukee. It may not be the Kohl Center, but it's close!
The Badgers have the shortest drive of any of the teams playing in the Milwaukee portion of the NCAA Tournament.
In Milwaukee, the Wisconsin Badgers are a home court favorite.
"It just means that, you know, you did something special during the year to get rewarded to play closed to home, and it is great for my family. It is great for these guys' families to be semi-close, you know. Just to be able to experience the NCAA Tournament atmosphere is just, you know, awesome for my family and friends and you know, it is kind of home court advantage in a way, but at the same time, once the clock starts, once we get in between the lines, it is all about what we do. We control that," Badgers guard Josh Gasser said.
It could get loud inside the BMO Harris Bradley Center with lots of Badgers fans expected to turn out for the game Thursday.
"We just have to tune it out. You know, do the things that we've been doing when we've been playing together. Just focus on what we have to do. I'm sure there is going to be American fans there too," Eagles guard Darius Gardner said.
The Badgers will be working out of Marquette's locker room during their stay in Milwaukee.
"It's okay. It's actually nice. I was saying 'this is a nice locker room,'" a Badgers player told FOX6 News.
Back in 2004, the Badgers drew a Milwaukee assignment as well. They won their first game, but didn't get out of town -- losing to Pittsburgh on the weekend.
Thursday's game kicks off at 11:40 a.m.
Assuming the Badgers make a run in the Tourney, they could face teams they've already played in the regular season -- including #1 seeds they've already beaten.
"I think our schedule as a whole was kinda a brutal one for us this year, but I think we went through it well and we grew up well. All the stuff you do throughout the season prepares your for the next day and the next opponent and I think, you know, our 37 games we had against tough competition has really prepared us for this NCAA Tournament, and I think that we're ready," Badgers forward Sam Dekker said.
"Teams are different now in terms of they have gotten better since we've played them. There's so many different types of teams, so we've just got to take what we learned from that and implement it into our game now," Badgers guard Traevon Jackson said.
"We played in the grueling season with Big Ten, you know, playing road games in Michigan and other teams -- I could go on and on, and they challenged us with a tough non-conference schedule. You definitely prepare for everything. It's a brand new season, so all that stuff, you know, we learned from it, but it's kind of a start over or a refresher now," Badgers guard Josh Gasser said.
The Big Ten teams are the ones that gave the Badgers the most trouble in the regular season. Badgers are 4-4 against conference teams in the Big Dance.

In other words, a column is a compression member. The term column applies especially to a large round support (the shaft of the column) with a capital and a base or pedestal and made of stone, or appearing to be so. A small wooden or metal support is typically called a post, and supports with a rectangular or other non-round section are usually called piers. For the purpose of wind or earthquake engineering, columns may be designed to resist lateral forces. Other compression members are often termed "columns" because of the similar stress conditions. Columns are frequently used to support beams or arches on which the upper parts of walls or ceilings rest. In architecture, "column" refers to such a structural element that also has certain proportional and decorative features. A column might also be a decorative element not needed for structural purposes; many columns are "engaged", that is to say form part of a wall.
All significant Iron Age civilizations of the Near East and Mediterranean made some use of columns. In Ancient Egyptian architecture as early as 2600 BC the architect Imhotep made use of stone columns whose surface was carved to reflect the organic form of bundled reeds; in later Egyptian architecture faceted cylinders were also common.
Some of the most elaborate columns in the ancient world were those of the Persians, especially the massive stone columns erected in Persepolis. They included double-bull structures in their capitals. The Hall of Hundred Columns at Persepolis, measuring 70 × 70 metres, was built by the Achaemenid king Darius I (524–486 BC). Many of the ancient Persian columns are standing, some being more than 30 metres tall.
Columns, or at least large structural exterior ones, became much less significant in the architecture of the Middle Ages. The classical forms were abandoned in both Byzantine architecture and the Romanesque and Gothic architecture or Europe in favour of more flexible forms, with capitals often using various types of foliage decoration, and in the West scenes with figures carved in relief. Renaissance architecture was keen to revive the classical vocabulary and styles, and the informed use and variation of the classical orders remained fundamental to the training of architects throughout Baroque, Rococo and Neo-classical architecture.
Early columns were constructed of stone, some out of a single piece of stone. Monolithic columns are among the heaviest stones used in architecture. Other stone columns are created out of multiple sections of stone, mortared or dry-fit together. In many classical sites, sectioned columns were carved with a centre hole or depression so that they could be pegged together, using stone or metal pins. The design of most classical columns incorporates entasis (the inclusion of a slight outward curve in the sides) plus a reduction in diameter along the height of the column, so that the top is as little as 83% of the bottom diameter. This reduction mimics the parallax effects which the eye expects to see, and tends to make columns look taller and straighter than they are while entasis adds to that effect.
Classical columns have a bottom or plinth that rests on the stylobate or foundation. At the top a capital (also known as a chapiter) or finial decorate the column, depending on whether it is attached to a structure or free-standing.
Modern columns are constructed out of steel, poured or precast concrete, or brick. They may then be clad in an architectural covering (or veneer), or left bare. In modern terms the impost (or pier) is the topmost member of a column. The bottom-most part of the arch, called the springing, rests on the impost.
where r = radius of gyration of [column]cross-section which is equal to the square root of (I/A), K = ratio of the longest half sine wave to the actual column length, and KL = effective length (length of an equivalent hinged-hinged column). From Equation (2) it can be noted that the buckling strength of a column is inversely proportional to the square of its length.
Column elements are considered to be massive if minimal side dimension is equal or more than 400 mm. Massive columns have ability to increase concrete strength during long time period (even during exploitation period). Taking into account possible loads onto structure increase in future (and even threat of progressive failure, terroristic attacks, explosions etc.) massive columns have advantage comparing with not ones. A little economy today has no sense as usual for future. Moreover relatively small sections are not technological for reinforced structures during their production. Balance between economy, mass of structures and so called "sustainable" construction is necessary.
The Ionic column is considerably more complex than the Doric or Tuscan. It usually has a base and the shaft is often fluted (it has grooves carved up its length). On the top is a capital in the characteristic shape of a scroll, called a volute, or scroll, at the four corners. The height-to-thickness ratio is around 9:1. Due to the more refined proportions and scroll capitals, the Ionic column is sometimes associated with academic buildings. Ionic style columns were used on the second level of the Colosseum.

Best beaches in the world: Welsh beach is named in world's Top 10
Wales is full of beautiful beaches and now one of them has been ranked alongside the best in the world
Robin Turner
Lanikai Beach in Hawaii is among the world's best beaches
Sign up to FREE daily email alerts from Wales Online - Swansea
When it comes to lists of the best beaches in Wales and the UK it's always there or thereabouts.
But now Rhossili Bay on the Gower peninsula has been named one of the world's best beaches.
Rhossili, with its three miles of golden sands beat beaches in Spain, Greece, Italy and Turkey to be named the third best beach in Europe for the second year in a row.
It keeps its title as Britain's best beach and comes ninth in the list of the world's best beaches.
The list was put together by TripAdvisor, the world's largest travel website.
Look through the beaches voted the UK and the world's best below:
Top 10 Beaches in the UK and in the World
The iconic Welsh beach went up one place in the world list this year, putting it above beaches in the Seychelles, South Africa and other tropical destinations.
Rhossili came above popular Woolacombe Beach in Devon, which was voted the UK's second best beach, with Cornwall's much admired Porthminster Beach in third.
Now vote on the best pubs in Wales
"These awards recognise the best beaches in the UK and worldwide, according to the travellers that have visited and given them the highest levels of praise," said TripAdvisor spokesman James Kay.
"To have a Welsh beach named among not only the best in Europe, but the best in the world, just goes to show how lucky we are in the UK to have such stunning scenery right on our doorstep.
"Rhossili Bay's triumph against beaches in such glamorous destinations as Mexico, Brazil and Australia goes to prove that travellers don't need to travel half way around the world to find a great beach."

The largest expanse of white sand on the Gower Peninsula, Rhossili Bay stretches for three miles. This vast stretch of sand and towering cliffs make it popular with surfers, paragliders and ramblers alike.
The village of Rhossili itself is steeped in history and the wreck of the Helvetia, which ran aground on Rhossili Bay in November 1887, can still be seen on the beach today.
Nick Bradley of Swansea council said: "This is fantastic news! The national and international exposure that this award brought Rhossili Bay last year was both appropriate for all those involved in its upkeep and significant in terms of the impact it has had on the tourism industry locally and nationally.
"Our natural resources and in particular our coastline are what make Swansea Bay one of the most attractive destinations in the UK for holidays and short-breaks."

After a massive year, culminating in being awarded the coveted title of Triple j's Unearthed Artist of the Year, REMi hits the ground running in 2014 with a national run of shows. Playing to his growing number of fans nationwide this will be the last opportunity to catch REMi in such intimate settings before the release of new material later in 2014. REMi's much anticipated new single 'Livin' will also be dropping ahead of these national shows to provide fans with a taste of the new material to come.
REMI's track record is that of a busy man. 2011 saw the release of two EP's ('Childish' and 'Five Beats I Love'), and the completion of his first album 'Regular People Sh#%t' in 2012. REMi continued to make waves dropping a decidedly big tune in the name of Sangria in May this Year. The track received full rotation on Triple J with and is edging towards 90,000 YouTube views.
Sangria hails from a mixtape titled F.Y.G : Act 1 which was nominated on New York's NPR 2013 Best Albums of 2013 list. The tape finds the 22 year old acting up over an eclectic mix of jams (Gangstarr, Kaytranada) and an impressive set of original tracks ('Sangria', second single 'Saggin', last year's acclaimed single 'Ape') all produced by in-house team Sensible J & Dutch.
Besides Numerous headline shows, the Melbournian has supported acts like Danny Brown, De La Soul, MED, The Pharcyde, Mono/Poly, Jonwayne, Jesse Boykins & @Peace (Just to name a few). In December 2013 he hits the road with Joey Badass and The Underachievers before playing Falls, NYE on the Hill Perth Festival and Push Over. Remi is also supporting Illy on his national tour this coming March.
Don't miss one of Australia's hottest upcoming artists this February, as REMi plays headline shows coast to coast to satiate the demand for his hyped live show. To give you an idea of what he's capable of check out the cover he recently did of the Avalanches' 'Since I left you' for Triple J's Like a Version here.

Posted in Bioterrorism, Predator State, Stumble and Fail at 2:43 pm by George Smith
The daily newspaper is now always loaded with Dickensian characters.
The country has a class of people, a club that hated the last two thirds of A Christmas Carol.
Often they have truly negative security implications for the general welfare.
Take Austin "Jack" DeCoster, the man behind the biggest egg recall in US history, profiled in the Los Angeles Times last week.
As the head of Wright County Egg Farms in Iowa, the paper couldn't have painted him more poorly. If there was something evil Decoster hadn't done in food production in the last few years, one can't imagine what it might have been.
Decoster caused child labor laws to be rewritten in Maine, was sued by neighbors for "beetle infestation," had eggs his company produced banned in New York, and was declared a "habitual violator" of environmental regulations in Iowa for "mishandling of hog waste."
And in 1997 he was fined by the feds for "numerous egregious safety and health violations" in Maine.
But the US system just can't get a guy like this off the street, even after he's directly responsible for sickening 1,500 with Salmonella enteritidis.
DD has covered this before.
During the Bush administration it was like this:
In the predator state, the bad company led by bad men will literally poison the public. And they won't stop until people are killed. In the predator state system, still that's not even enough to get them [dragged off].
A year ago Baxter International and another US company it did business with killed people by selling tainted heparin. Heparin is a necessary drug in US medicine and it used to be made here. But in the rush for profits, like many other US businesses, both companies subcontracted their formerly in-house work to China, where there were people willing and malicious enough to deliver a cheaper counterfeit substance, a derivative of chondroitin sulfate, used to mimic heparin. The counterfeit material sickened hundreds and killed a number of people outright. There were news stories and vows of reform. And then nothing happened; it was back to business as usual in the predator state. It was no time to get in the way of commerce!
Today readers have the spectacle of the house hearings in which Peanut Corporation of America's CEO, Stewart Parnell, is seen as willfully urging his employees to get his salmonella-laced peanuts out the door.
"[Parnell] gave instructions to nonetheless 'turn them loose' … " reports the Atlanta Journal & Constitution. At the time, Parnell was engaged in finding a laboratory that wouldn't return a positive salmonella test, kind of like fishing through a high school bundle of failed exams, looking for the lone good one, the coincidental exception, that could be waved around to show what a diligent student you were.
However, despite making hundreds ill and killing a handful, Parnell's still on the street and the bulldozers haven't been called. Literally, months go by — sometimes years — and the US government just will not remove such people.
In the predator state, this is the way things work, or — don't work.
In the predator state, it is important to look the other way, to pretend to be concerned, but to actually remain indifferent to such things as long as humanly possible. Because to take action would be to interfere with the business of predators, the making of profit at everyone else's expense.
Two years later, and despite lots of noise from the Obama administration about making regulation stronger and revamping the FDA with someone named Margaret Hamburg — someone at the time of appointment alleged to be great — it's the same old story.
Not enough regulations, or regulations put in place too late, or ignored, or any other miscellaneous excuse from a bottomless grab-bag to explain why we have the trouble we do.
At least the Chinese government has the stones to actually execute a couple businessmen every once in awhile for poisoning or sickening a mass of people.
The Los Angeles Times profile of DeCoster had someone attesting he was at least good for local tax revenues. This because in desperate times people will accept anything really bad as long as there's a bit of money that comes with it.
And one of his old attorney's added: "I know Jack pushes the envelope because he's growth oriented."
Growth-oriented and envelope-pushing to the extent that today newspapers read:
Federal investigators found piles of manure up to eight feet tall, live mice, pigeons and other birds inside the hen houses at two egg farms suspected of causing a nationwide outbreak of salmonella illness, officials said Monday.
Investigators made public their observations of Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms, two massive egg producers who have recalled nearly 500 million eggs since Aug. 13.
FDA officials said Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms appeared to violate federal regulations for egg safety that took effect July 9, as well as voluntary industry standards for sanitation. Company officials have said they were in compliance. — the WaPost
On its blog, the LA Times explained salmonella had been virtually eliminated from state egg production by institution of a rigorous program of sanitation.
But it gets in the way of profit.
The program, which includes vaccinating hens and testing barns regularly for bacteria, has essentially wiped out salmonella on California farms, industry officials say. Yet only nine other states have enacted similar government-sponsored efforts.
In other words, protecting the public has impacted business and that we cannot abide:
One reason, the Armstrongs and other California farmers contend, is cost. Injecting chickens and swabbing cages takes money — not a fortune, but enough to send egg distributors searching for lower-cost sources.
"We have lost contracts over pennies a dozen," Ryan Armstrong said. "They want cheap eggs."
One obvious answer to this is for the US government to regularly destroy a business and ban its bosses for causing mass illness through negligence and cost-cutting. And to do it swiftly.
Not to just talk about putting a bootheel on some company's throat but actually crush its windpipe. And then throw the leftover garbage in a hole.
Sadly, I doubt this will ever happen in what's left of our lifetimes. You're going to regularly see more and more of this type of thing.
Hand in hand with it — almost unnoticed, however — will go regular increases in expenditure to increasing food security against attack from terrorists.
The article from old DD blog continued:
In the predator state, it is critical that attention be diverted from real liabilities to the external menace, potential threats which can even be trumped up in the absence of proof that such things exist in a practical sense. In the case of tainted food and drugs, it has been the radical Islamists under Osama bin Laden who have been passed around as those who would easily poison and contaminate American food and drugs.
Terrorists might put botulism in milk, killing hundreds of thousands.
Terrorists might put anthrax in beef, rice or orange juice. (It was an American, an insider, working from a biodefense lab, who put anthrax in the mail, killing five. But only recently has research on dangerous agents been suspended at the lab where the insider, Bruce Ivins, worked so that the military-run disease house can be internally put in order.)
Osama bin Laden might even poison meals at school!
In fact, one famous example always used to squeal about what terrorists can do to food was also an American example, the work of the Rajneeshee cult in The Dalles, Oregon. And while it was intentional, it still was not as effective at creating illness, monetary loss and disruption as the recent egg recall.
From a paper posted at the Centers for Disease Control:
Bioterrorist attacks could be covert or announced and could be caused by virtually any pathogenic microorganism. The case of the Rajneeshee religious cult in The Dalles, Oregon, is an example (1). The cult planned to infect residents with Salmonella on election day to influence the results of county elections. To practice for the attack, they contaminated salad bars at 10 restaurants with S. Typhimurium on several occasions before the election. A communitywide outbreak of salmonellosis resulted; at least 751 cases were documented in a county that typically reports fewer than five cases per year. Although bioterrorism was considered a possibility when the outbreak was being investigated by public health officials, it was considered unlikely. The source of the outbreak became known only when FBI investigated the cult for other criminal violations. A vial of S. Typhimurium identical to the outbreak strain was found in a clinical laboratory on the cult's compound, and members of the cult subsequently admitted to contaminating the salad bars and putting Salmonella into a city water supply tank. This incident, among other recent events, underscores the importance of improving preparedness at all levels.
There's a way of logically looking at these problems. But the US government doesn't do it and corporate interests work to discourage it.
History shows that bioterrorism as a mechanism for causing illness and disruption is not nearly as frequent, effective, or motivating as the combination of greed, lack of regulation, and an utter disregard for the public welfare.
That's just a fact.
al said,
Thanks. Enjoyed reading.
Adulteration, old as time it's self.
Outlasted the word!
I've read how radioactive scrap metal can be found in the jewelry of women in Fort Lee New Jersey. \
I used to think it was just 'greed' that obviously cannot be eliminated, but now feel the capitalistic system, will always result in creators, sooner or later, decimated by lamprey.
Swindled is a well researched book that covers the history of adulteration.
You write similar to it's author.
Someone commented:
"Please do not confuse the issue of passing and enforcing laws (including sanitation-related laws) with 'capitalism'."
[The rest — longish sob story about how rotten it was in the Soviet Union, a place said to be packed with too much regulation — deleted.]
I don't. Nothing on this blog is communist, as you insinuate. Which is why you were spiked.
TorJunkie said,
I was actually referring to the previous comment, with its quip about "capitalistic system". The commenter must have thought that your post advocates regulation. It does look that way, too.
Strangely, you assume that referring to the Soviet economics experience somehow insinuates that you are a communist (btw, I had not used that word). In fact, late Soviet economics was not actually driven by ideology, and it's a serious mistake to believe that it was.
What it was was a perfect example of regulation-based economy that was supposed to excel at eliminating exactly the kinds of things you are writing about, along with the "capitalist greed". It failed dramatically at that, and it would be helpful for your argument to understand why that happened, despite measures you seem to approve of being in place.
Also, there is a big difference between communist and socialist approaches, and one absolutely does not need to be a communist to approve of the idea of regulation. The trick is to understand why regulations, no matter how harsh, do not work beyond certain natural limits, and what these limits are.
Soviet economy provides classic and non-trivial examples of this – in pure economics terms, virtually untainted with ideology. Sadly, people tend to dismiss it with abstract references to "communism", and then go about reinventing the same square wheel.
Sorry to have trespassed on your time.
Framed it better.
Nevertheless, the US system is broken in favor of corporate malfeasance and predation. And the Dickensian nature of it looms large as a security threat — particularly when talking of the welfare of the population.
The argument that the market takes care of it is one that's code for 'give me what I want and to Hell with the rest of you.' The market does not adjust to smash rogue companies. In many cases, it rewards them.
Here's another particularly egregious example with national security implications.
