It's time, once again, to put our clocks forward and usher in British Summer Time (BST).
Despite losing an hour of sleep tonight, this is great news for three important reasons.
First, it means we get an extra hour of sunlight every morning until October.
Second, it's the one day a year where it's acceptable, or at least understandable, for one to have no earthly idea what time it is.
Which means you can get away with being an hour late for that lunch the in-laws that you've been dreading.
Third, it's probably the closest thing any of us will come to time travel.
But, if you want to amaze friends and family with how good you are at life, follow our handy guide to when, why and by how much the clocks are due to change.
Why do we change the clocks twice a year, anyway?
BST - also known as Daylight Saving Time - was first proposed in Britain by William Willet, a keen horse-rider. Willet would take long rides through the woods, making the most of the early morning sun while everyone else was still asleep.
He became increasingly incensed at what he saw as a waste of daylight, so in 1907 published a pamphlet calling for clocks to be changed so people could make the most of it.
The Government eventually adopted Willett's idea in 1916 - a year after his death - and we've been changing the clocks ever since.
Read More: When do the clocks go forward?
What are the benefits of changing the clocks?
There are a number of claimed health benefits of the extra hour of sunlight - notably relief from seasonal affected depression.
Proponents of BST also claim it saves energy and reduces traffic accidents and crime.
That being said, a 2012 University of Alabama study found the risk of a heart attack surges by 10 per cent on the Monday and Tuesday after moving the clocks forward.
Is there an easy way of remembering whether the clocks go back or forward?
The handy mnemonic that people use is "Spring forward, fall backward."
And yes, we know it's called autumn in this country - but "spring forwards, autumn backwards" doesn't make any sense.
OK, so when do I put my clocks forward?
British Summer Time 2014 begins on Sunday, March 30th.
That means you put your clocks forward one hour at 1am on Sunday 30th. Or whenever you go to bed on Saturday night.
...and how to I change the clock on my car dashboard?
Nobody knows. Try mashing all the buttons at once.
Here's some cute animals who don't really care about the extra hour - because they can't tell the time.

The President is in Indonesia, the second stop of his four-nation tour of Asia.
He'll try to boost U.S. security and trade ties with the country, while also trying to reach out to the Islamic community.
The visit is also a bit of a homecoming for the President, who spent four years in Indonesia as a child.

On a layover on the way back home had a one night stay here. Super friendly front staff, like memorably awesome and a super clean rom was exactly what we needed. The rooms are small, but normal size for Europe, I guess. We looked out over the bike parking/barge thing and not noisy at all, in the shower you could feel the vibration a bit from the trains below, but nothing major or annoying. Bathroom didn't have a fan, so it was a bit warm in there after a couple showers, but thats my only complaint. Oh and maybe the breakfast was a bit expensive, we opted out and went around the corner (800m or so) to another spot which was cheaper and (based on reviews) better. If you need a place to put your luggage too for a layover, this is the spot to be, basically at the train station. Loved it, would stay again but not for a long stay as its small!

"Insect Repellent Block"
Mrs Lloyd
29 June 2009
This product definately works! It is placed in my dining room - which leads into our conservatory (which normally attracts hundreds of insects/flies etc). Since starting to use it we have been completely free of any live flies (lots of dead bodies on the window ledge though!). It is still only opened up to the second ridge so has a lots more life in it - it's superb! Cannot understand what the other reviewers are talking about it works really well!

Hall of Merit
— A Look at Baseball's All-Time Best
Sunday, August 28, 2005
Welcome to the Baseball Hall of Merit!
What is the Baseball Hall of Merit? A pantheon conceived of by our founder and commissioner Joe Dimino as an alternative to the Baseball Hall of Fame located in Cooperstown. Our purpose is to identify the best players in baseball history and thereby identify the omissions and errors that can be found in the other venerable institution.
Established in 2003, the HoM welcomes any new voters who are serious about inducting the most worthy candidates from all eras and positions.
Annual elections will be held around December of each year. Prior to December of 2007, retroactive elections were held once or twice a month starting from 1898 up to the present.
Project coordinator John Murphy helps run the day-to-day activities for the HoM.
The Baseball Hall of Merit Plaque Room - Where we honor the greatest players of all-time.
2012 Election Results, 2011 Election Results - The results from our last two elections.
Important links thread that includes all election results, ballot threads and discussion threads.
Important Links thread that used to be stickied on the Hall of Merit home page, but is not any longer. Keeping this link in case someone was using it, but I think everything should be at the link with the election results.

it would be nice if you can add UV index and pressure in pascals (kilopascals)... at least for accuweather.

Thank you
it would be nice if you can add UV index and pressure in pascals (kilopascals)... at least for accuweather.
Googleweather API is not working anymore and weatherbug su*ks...
Thank you
Hi eldenroot,
you can display the pressure in pascals if you switch to metric units in the admin dialog. This can be set on a per widget base.
It is a good idea to add the UV index which is included in the accuweather XML feed. For the forecast this would be the max. UV index forecasted and for the current conditions it would be the current UV index. I add this to my todo-list at http://www.tuxlog.de
OK, when I switch to metric unit I get °F instead of °C ... I am from Europe and I would like to have °C and Pascals (kilopascals).
UV index +1 - really good feature for sites focused on weather ;)
When you switch to metric units you should get Celsius and millibar which is the same as hectopascal. You can see this at tuxlog.de in the sidebar.
wp-forecast takes the units which come from accuweather but if you want to change the label for the pressure unit this can easily be changed in line 327 of func_accu.php
$weather_arr['pressure'] = $press . " " . $w["un_pres"];
$weather_arr['pressure'] = $press . " hP";
Hope I got you wright
OK, anyway it would be nice have this option in setting :)
and it should be hPa, not hP... or am I wrong?
is possible to show it in kPa?
I added UV-Index to the v4.6 I released yesterday.
As far as I know kPa is only used in car engineering not for the Weather. But you are wright with hPa.
Do you know why accuweather uses mBar and not hPa for metric units in europe? I can not find anything about this.
I have no idea... I just edited the code for weather plugin and now I have hPa...
I think we have in Europe (at least in the Czech Republic) - °C, m/s and hPa... not mBar - I see this for first time in weather
there is mbar for europe...
and nice wind radar :) something like this would be nice to have in wp-forecast...
just 8 images with different direction which are changed by wind direction N, NW, E, ... and speed of wind inside the circle

Very big rooms, basic but all comfort. Very friendly owners, allways there to help. Breakfast enough choice and tastfull. Quiet neighberhood, away from center but still close enough to walk to centet and also the beach.
Our room was not frequently cleaned, smelled badly, and the beds were horribly uncomfortable. My daughter got a sliver from the rickety playground equipment and managed to lock herself into the second room of the suite when the door defaulted. The pool lights were not turned on until a week later when the Dutch guests arrived and the bar was...
I have stayed at this hotel on many occasions and although I now have a house on the island I am still a regular visitor. The hotel is clean friendly with a great pool area and social/bar area. Savvas & Sophie are fantastic hosts and nothing is to much trouble.

Hotel is nice for good prices, near from the center and also from beach. We had a lovely time there.

GSD Course Bulletin - Spring 2014
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:55:41.
Courses taught by George L. Legendre
01315: Real and Imaginary Variables (Final): Global Arenas (STU 0131500)
Option Studio - 8 credits - Limited enrollment
This course has an IRREGULAR meeting schedule. Please see full course description.
Tuesday Wednesday 2:00 - 6:00
George L. Legendre
Course Description
Halfway between the socially responsive discourse of programmatic indeterminacy and the alleged futility of form-giving, we will explores architecture's critical return to form. Our interest in the topic of form is neither aesthetic nor ideological. Contrary to the notion of shape (with which it is often confused), form is a syntactic, procedural and (increasingly) technical problem, like the study of language in the 1970s -or the more recent emergence of Object Orientated Programming in the software industry.
Our past GSD briefs have systematically explored the architectural potential of the variable parametric surface, a vehicle chosen for its relentless abstraction and resistance to predictable questions of architectural function or figure. The investigation continues.
In conjunction with the spring term elective Superficial Spaces, we will produce sophisticated new formal prototypes -as part of a pragmatic urban and architectural proposal located in West London.
Real and Imaginary Variables:
We will further explore the seminal thesis of architecture as a complex interplay of desire and automatic writing. Architecture, in this view, depends on achieving a practical and theoretical balance between real and imaginary variables: real variables depend on empirical knowledge of a given type, site, and programme; imaginary variables depend on the equally important (though far less intuitive) properties of indexical modeling. The two parts of the equation need one another to fulfill themselves: without the imaginary part, the type withers into predictability and repetition; without the real part, it becomes self-fulfilling -and ultimately irrelevant. We will figure out fresh ways in which a formal analytic model (otherwise known as a seed) might correlate to a building type's functional organization, program and material structure.
Methodology and Site:
Using our trademark combination of seed bank, user manual and real-life brief, we will develop the two parts of the process in tandem. When both parts are sufficiently developed, we will devise proposals for a 40,000-seater football stadium currently planned in the Old Oak regeneration area of West London. The studio will receive informal support from the project's promoters, the London Borough and Hammersmith and Fulham, and Greater London Authority.

This course has an IRREGULAR meeting schedule. Please see full course description.
Monday 1:00 - 6:00 20 Sumner 1C
George L. Legendre
Course Description
At a time when architectural discourse and practice are (still) brimming with references to new geometries, this offering investigates the architectural potential of abstract three-dimensional surfaces. Hand in hand with the practical ambition of the option studios, this seminar will help us devise formal prototypes for architectural consumption - while broadening our understanding of the rigours of abstract formal analysis.
With equal emphasis on theoretical reading, graphic analysis and diagramming, elementary mathematics, numerically controlled fabrication techniques, and theoretical writing, the seminar will orbit, in increasingly tight loops, the surface as object of knowledge.
Prerequisites/Restrictions: Attendance
Requirements: Participants are required to prepare for and participate to 5 group reading sessions. Otherwise the course is structured around a cycle of 6 short design assignments. To fulfill requirements, participants can either carry out an abridged cycle of 4 assignments plus a short final project of their own choice,
submit the full cycle of 6 assignments over the course of the semester.
Attendance and participation to weekly readings and MathCAD workshops: 50%. Submission of assignments and/or (if applicable) final project: 50%
Irregular Schedule. First Meeting on Monday, Jan 27. Subsequent meetings on Monday Feb 10. Monday 2/24, Monday 3/10, Monday 3/24, Monday 4/7, Monday 4/21. Each meeting from 1-6. Midterm week of Monday 3/25. Final presentation on Friday 5/9.

Love the way you drew Harley! Way cool dude!! You should do the Harley Quinn Story.
Thanks but not interested in working with companies. I read the script and it was also dumb, those are more like separate pieces rather than a story structure. I have no idea why they would go with that to hire someone. Anotehr FAIL for DC.
I absolutely love this! and I love that song, it's so perfect for her hahah
nice look.....
Great to see some marker work again. You sketches are awesome but your marker work jumps off the page! Love it!
She's all heart.
my bloody valentine
ahh be nice to see puddin get his present ^,^ hehe well again thank you again you sure now how to make me smile
Aww, she just looks so cute and psycho here.
i shouldn't say this but IT'S AMAZING steven
wow! she is sexy!
sir! you mind checking out my gallery? I am into production of 2D game market, will start my own small studio in the next few months this is my gallery and I really like to thank you for your awesome tips and tricks in your tutorials it helped me a lot! and the most important advice you gave...Practice! thanks a lot!
this is my gallery in 5 years from zero to hero ( not a real hero, still a lot to reach that...in my opinion am still a chimp )
here is the link to my gallery : [link]
thanks again!

Yeah, your gallery looks good, just keep building your confidence and sketch very often and you'll see your line work get tighter. Start getting into gesture drawing, facial gestures movement and so on. Keep up the great work!

Product Description
Winner of the 2004 Religion Communicators Council's Wilbur Award for best documentary film, Bonhoeffer engagingly tells the story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (19061945), the young German theologian who offered one of the first clear voices of resistance to Adolf Hitler. Dietrich Bonhoeffer openly challenged his church to stand with the Jews in their time of need, and eventually joined in a plot to kill Hitler. In this widely praised documentary, extraordinary footage is interwoven with interviews with friends, family, and students of Bonhoeffer and with historians and theologians and includes the words of Bonhoeffer himself as read by actor Klaus Maria Brandauer (Out of Africa).

Columbus, Ohio (Thurs., May 9, 2013) – Cleveland attorney Deborah A. Coleman
today received the 2013 John C. and Ginny Elam Pro Bono Award from Supreme
Court of Ohio Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor
at the Ohio State Bar Association (OSBA) Annual Convention in Cleveland.
The award recognizes and encourages outstanding pro bono legal work in the
state of Ohio.
a partner at Hahn Loeser & Parks LLP, was nominated by Ann McGowan
Porath, Esq., of the Legal Aid Society of Cleveland, who said this: "Deborah Coleman embodies the
spirit of the John C. and Ginny Elam Award with her inspiring dedication to pro bono legal work in the
state of Ohio. Receipt of the 2013 Elam Award acknowledges Deborah's storied
legal career at Hahn Loeser in Cleveland as well as her significant pro bono contributions to the
Legal Aid Society of Cleveland."
commitment to pro bono work
for Legal Aid is holistic. She is a regular participant in Cleveland Legal
Aid's Brief Advice and Referral Clinics, which are held in various Northeast
Ohio neighborhoods. In addition, she accepts individual cases pro bono for clients of
Cleveland Legal Aid and recruits and trains other Cleveland Legal Aid
volunteers, as well as providing ethics training for Cleveland Legal Aid
lawyers. As chair of the Cleveland
Metropolitan Bar Association's ADR Section, Coleman led an effort to evaluate
how its foreclosure mediation program could be improved and additional
volunteers could be recruited.
Aid's Brief Advice and Referral Clinics provide opportunities for low-income
and vulnerable people in the community to seek advice from attorney volunteers
about their civil legal needs. Successful clinics at Legal Aid are dependent on
attorney volunteers, and Coleman is one of Legal Aid's most frequent
volunteers, regularly staffing multiple clinics each year. Often biking to the
clinic, she arrives with bicycle helmet in hand ready to lead the charge of
helping clients at these clinics.
Coleman's commitment to cycling includes biking to work, and enjoying
long bike rides for pleasure and to support worthy charitable causes.
commitment to pro bono work extends beyond her contribution of time as she
strives to humanize interactions between attorneys and their clients. Clients,
especially first-timers, are often fearful at these clinics, since they may
perceive that speaking with an attorney or about their legal issue may have
frightening consequences.
said, "Coleman works tirelessly to ensure that each client she sees is
comfortable and understands the process. And she has an infectiously fierce
determination, whole-heartedly seeking positive resolutions for each client she
who attend the Brief Advice clinics usually receive only the assistance that a
participating lawyer can provide at the clinic itself, but Coleman often goes above
and beyond and agrees to represent these individuals pro bono. She meets these clients
at their homes or in libraries or community centers in their own neighborhoods,
and provides practical advice and legal advocacy.
helping individual Legal Aid clients, Coleman seeks systemic solutions and,
further, defines her role in the improvement of Legal Aid services for all
clients. For example, she was a member of the Ohio Supreme Court's Task Force
on the Rules of Professional Conduct, which recommended the adoption of two new
rules that expand the opportunities for individuals of meager means to obtain
legal services. Although her title is "volunteer," her contributions extend
much deeper, making her an integral part of the work of Legal Aid.
was the first woman partner at Hahn Loeser, admitted to the partnership in
1984. She has been listed in Crain's Cleveland Business as one of
Crain's Women of Influence, and has been named to Who's Who in American Law.
She is regularly listed in The Best Lawyers in America and Ohio
Super Lawyers Magazine, and has
been recognized in both publications for 2013. Her law practice focuses
on complex commercial litigation, particularly with regard to antitrust and
intellectual property issues. She is
also a strong advocate of Hahn Loeser's pro bono efforts.
frequently serves as a mediator and arbitrator for complex business disputes
throughout the country. She is a member of the American Arbitration
Association's Commercial, Technology and Large Complex Case panels; she is also
available as a regional panel member through the CPR International Institute
for Conflict Prevention and Resolution.
Her skill and knowledge as an arbitrator were recently recognized by her
acceptance to the College of Commercial Arbitrators as its first Ohio fellow. A
former chair of the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional
Responsibility, she provides counsel on issues involving professional ethics
and is a frequent speaker at continuing legal education programs on ethics,
litigation, intellectual property and antitrust issues. She has also served as
chair of Cleveland's Judicial Candidates Rating Coalition and has been an active member of the
OSBA Antitrust Section.
to Porath, Coleman "plays a critical role in providing justice for all, rather
than justice for those who can afford it." Porath went on to say, "Her
commitment to pro bono and
volunteer service is of the highest standard -- one that all members of the
private bar should aspire to achieve. She makes a difference in the lives of
many individuals whose basic needs are protected only by having access to the
justice system."
The John C. and Ginny
Elam Pro Bono Award was named in memory of John C. Elam, who exhibited an
abiding interest in encouraging lawyers and law firms to engage in pro bono
activities, and generously donated his own time and talents to many activities
promoting the common good and helping to ensure that the justice system is
available to all. To honor his memory, his wife, Ginny Elam, established the
award to encourage such activities by recognizing exceptional pro bono legal
work in the state of Ohio.
In addition to receiving a plaque, Coleman
also earns the right to designate an organization to receive a $5,000 grant for
service that furthers the intent of the Elam award. Coleman has selected the
Legal Aid Society of Cleveland to receive the
$5,000 from the John C. and Ginny Elam Family Fund of the Columbus Bar
Coleman her husband, Judge Dan
Polster, reside in Shaker Heights (44122).
The Ohio State Bar Association,
founded in 1880, is a voluntary association representing approximately 25,000
members of the bench and bar of Ohio as well as nearly 4,000 legal assistants and law
students. Through its activities and the activities of its related
organizations, the OSBA serves both its members and the public by promoting the
highest standards in the practice of law and the administration of justice

To support multimedia applications in mobile environments, it will be necessary for applications to be aware of the underlying network conditions and also to be able to adapt their behaviour and that of the underlying platform. This paper focuses on the role of middleware in supporting such adaptation. In particular, it investigates the role of open implementation and reflection in the design of middleware platforms such as CORBA. The paper initially extends CORBA with the concept of explicit binding, where path of communication between objects is represented as first class objects. We then introduce the concept of open bindings which support inspection and adaptation of the path of communications. An implementation of open bindings for adaptive continuous-media interaction is described using the example of adaptive video-on-demand for mobile environments

First Trimester 2nd Trimester 3rd Trimester
226 days to go...
Your baby todayThis ultrasound scan of the baby in side view shows that the head (at top) is relatively large compared to the rest of the body. The lighter, elongated area at the center of the baby's darker body is an upper arm bud.
Life goes on even though you're pregnant, but make sure you seek the right help if you're becoming overly tired.
You may find work a strain at times. If you have symptoms, such as fatigue, and still haven't told colleagues you're pregnant, it can make for a stressful and difficult day. If you've told some colleagues, or your boss, you're expecting it may be easier but you might feel you have to prove you can still do your job as efficiently as before.
Traveling can be tiring so explore the possibility of doing more flexible hours, so that you can commute when it's less busy. Be reassured that even though you aren't feeling your best, your unborn baby is unlikely to be affected. Do, however, take care of yourself.
If you find that you're struggling to deal with your workload, consider speaking to your boss (you can ask him or her to keep your pregnancy a secret until you are ready to tell), or someone in the human resources department, to give yourself a little breathing space. If you have colleagues who are close friends, lean on them for support in these early weeks.
Are you nesting already?
There's nothing like a new arrival to inspire you to get all those do-it-yourself (DIY) jobs done around the home. For most women, the nesting bug occurs in the later weeks of pregnancy, but if you're itching to get your house in order before then, make sure you exercise a little caution.
First of all, avoid putting yourself and your baby at risk: don't stand on tall ladders, and don't bend and crouch for long periods since this may affect your circulation. Avoid contact with oil-based paints, polyurethane (used for flooring), spray paints, turpentine, and other paint removers, and avoid inhaling plaster dust.
Ask A... Doctor
In principle, it's a good idea to avoid traveling to parts of the world where there is a high risk of disease unless you really need to. Local health care might not be adequate and food and water may be contaminated, which poses dangerous risks.
If it isn't possible to change your destination or postpone your vacation, be aware of the following:
- Oral vaccines to protect against yellow fever, typhoid, polio, and anthrax, for example, are contraindicated during pregnancy, although your doctor may decide that if you need to travel, the risk of having the vaccine is lower than the risks associated with contracting the disease.
- Some vaccines (polio and typhoid) are safe when given by injection. Mefloquine tablets, taken to prevent malaria, are considered safe after week 16.
- It's safe to have a tetanus vaccination if you're pregnant; check whether yours is up-to-date.

According to Randy Kester, a former lawyer of Coleman, Shannon Price and Gary Coleman were supposedly divorced on Friday, the time of star's death. It was said by Kester, that he handled the divorce that was in August 12, 2008.
As the estate status of Coleman is complicated enough, it was unclear whether the star had a will. For that reason the layer did not compose it when working with Coleman.
According to Kester, he was making several attempts in order to come and sit down, but as a result, it did not happen. He admitted that Gary did not trust of the legal system.
Also it turned out that the parents of the star are going to lodge a suit for a probate in order to know what is left after his son's death as well as who will execute the estate, Price or themselves.
The actor died on Friday. As a matter of fact, he was earlier brought to the hospital because of an intracranial hemorrhage. Still it is unknown what his marital status was at the day of his death as his wife permitted to take off life support, which only proves in case they were divorces, she did not have any legality to give such a permission.
Price and Coleman have been living together in Santaquin, Utah. Moreover, Price called the 911 in order they could bring him to the hospital on May 26.

From the boreal disco of Jesse Locke:
Undulating acid bass thaws the permafrost of Brusque Twins' latest EP. The icy hot duo last washed up on these shores with the standout banger of Visage Musique's Vol. 1 comp, cropping up again here with four new hyperborean ballads. The operatic vocals of Hollie Hensman are the tell-tale heartbeat of this closet goth club, thumping away to the rhythm of the night.

Suppose you are working with some bodgy piece of code which you can't trust, is there a way to run it safely without losing control of your script?
An example might be a function which only works some of the time and might fail randomly/spectacularly, how could you retry until it works? I tried some hacking with using threading module but had trouble to kill a hung thread neatly.

New market study, "India Defence & Security Report Q2 2011", has been published
New Defense research report from Business Monitor International is now available from Fast Market Research
Historically, India sourced much of its military hardware from the Soviet Union. However, since 1962 it has been Indian government policy to develop a local defence industry and reduce its dependence on imported equipment. India now possesses one of the largest and most sophisticated defence industries in the developing world. The defence industry is built around 39 state owned ordnance factories and eight defence-focused government owned businesses. While the sector is nominally open to private sector companies they have been mostly confined to supplying raw materials or components to the state-owned factories.
Recently though India has begun entering into joint venture (JV) projects with other countries. It might be hoped this will reduce the level of bureaucratic delay that has marked many Indian defence projects. In January 2007, a project valued at US$549mn was signed between India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Russia's United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) to design and build a multirole transport aircraft. India and Israel have agreed to jointly develop a longer range variant of the Barak short range supersonic, vertically launched air defence system. Israeli Military Industries (IMI) has signed an US$11.6mn deal for the joint manufacture of advanced tank shells, with further orders expected to follow. Italy's Fincantieri is to work closely with Cochin Shipyard in southern India on the flagship aircraft carrier project.
India is also expected to conclude negotiations at the end of this fiscal year to buy 126 combat aircraft, the country's largest ever defence order. Saab's JAS-39 Gripen is competing with Boeing's F/A-18 Super Hornet, Dassault's Rafale, Lockheed's F-16 and Russia's MiG-35 to win the fighter contract which Indian officials said can eventually go up to 200 aircraft.
India needs to manage a complex combination of internal and external situations. Internally, after 60 years of independence, India faces a new challenge. Having kept the country together through decades of famine and poverty, the government now needs to create harmony and stability in a period of rapidly increasing, but terribly uneven, prosperity. Economic inequality, in terms of both present income and also economic opportunity, lies at the heart of most of the internal unrest.
Externally, the conflict in Kashmir is ongoing and brings India into proximity with both Pakistan and China. The most dramatic risk comes from Pakistan, its rather unstable but nuclear armed neighbour. It is unfortunate that it is the very size and capability of India's conventional forces that has been a key driver behind Pakistan's nuclear programme. Convinced they could not resist India in a conventional war, Pakistan looked to nuclear arms as a force multiplier.
Economically, India is performing well. Despite our rather bearish outlook for many of the world's key economies, we expect India's economy to continue growing at its present brisk pace throughout 2011.

Internet technologies continue to revolutionize the legitimate collection of information from targeted host machines and its transmission to remote servers. The term `spyware' refers to that subset of information collection software that operates illicitly and non-consensually. Two fundamental issues continue to complicate spyware legislation development and operational control strategies. Firstly, unlike the clearly criminal distribution of virus infections, the distribution of spyware is mainly a commercial venture. Secondly, spyware utilizes the same technologies that underpin essential, legitimate information collection applications. This paper describes a security framework to manage these two issues. The security framework, at its core, requires the authentication by the host operating system of each outgoing Web session initiated by each software application running on that host machine. This authentication requires that each software application initiating Web communications be uniquely named via a Public Key Infrastructure digital certificate - and must use this name in all initiated Web communications. This framework facilitates the user-management of all Web communication streams emanating from the host - and this in turn supports the identification of software that engages in the deceptive, misleading, and fraudulent practices already proscribed in existing technology-focused legislation.

My experience with Intrepid on the Cambodia Traveller was one I will never forget. From the moment it started, our trip leader helped us to embrace foods and culture and understand the locals way of life.

Cambodian Traveller , July 2016
Tanvi Gupta
This was our first trip with Intrepid and we had a great experience. Our group leader, Khim, was incredible and had a demonstrated passion for his country and its history. The group dynamic added to the experience as we were traveling with people from all over the world. I would recommend planning ahead for the cities you are starting and ending in as there is limited guidance for how best to see those cities. In our case, Cambodia was covered beautifully, but we explored Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok ourselves. Highly recommend Intrepid, particularly for countries that may otherwise be difficult to navigate on your own!

A Novel
Just Take My Heart
A Novel
Natalie Raines, famous Broadway star, is murdered after accidentally discovering who killed her former roommate, Jamie Evans. Natalie's estranged husband, theatrical agent Gregg Aldrich, was known to have stalked Natalie to find out if she was seeing another man, and becomes "a person of interest" in her death. After a career criminal comes forward to claim that Aldrich hired him to kill his wife, a job he decided to turn down, a Grand Jury indicts Gregg for the murder of his wife.
Emily Wallace, an attractive thirty-two year old widowed assistant prosecutor, is summoned by her boss, Edward "Ted" Scott Wesley, who tells her that he wants her to handle the case, a plum assignment. She spends increasingly long hours preparing for the trial. A seemingly well-meaning neighbor offers to take care of her dog in her absence. Unaware of his violent past, she gives him a key to her home...
As Aldrich's trial is making headlines, Wesley warns Emily that this high-profile case will reveal personal matters about her, such as the fact that she had a heart transplant. And, during the trial, Emily experiences sentiments which defy all reason and continue after Gregg Aldrich's fate is decided by the jury. In the meantime, she does not realize that her own life is now at risk.

When Natalie Raines, one of Broadway's brightest stars, accidentally discovers who killed her former roommate, it sets in motion a series of shocking events that puts more than one life in extreme peril. A few days later Natalie is found in her home in Closter, New Jersey, dying from a gunshot wound.
The case remains unsolved for two years, until Jimmy Easton, a career criminal, comes forward to claim that Natalie's husband had hired him to murder his wife. Assistant prosecutor Emily Wallace is assigned to the case. As she spends increasingly long hours preparing for the trial, a seemingly well-meaning neighbor offers to take care of her dog in her absence. Unaware of his violent past, she gives him a key to her home.
As the murder trial makes headlines, her boss warns Emily that this high-profile case will reveal personal matters about her, such as the fact that she has had a heart transplant. During the trial, Emily experiences sentiments that defy all reason. Woven into the plot is an eerie, little-understood but documented medical phenomenon: the emergence of a donor's traits and memories in the recipient of a heart transplant.

The Maori Council and some tribal and hapu interests maintain
Maori "ownership" of water, including the Waikato River. If
that is so, then how are these to be satisfied?
Will Maori interests be appeased, as in the past, with a
specific share of the pie?
Will they be "bought off" by being given a share of the
As usual, the long-suffering taxpayer would be utilised to
engineer a political and apparently pragmatic solution. The
Government - and that is the people of New Zealand - would
therefore receive less.
A major difficulty is precedent.
Conceded would be the fact of Maori water ownership, that is
to those who trace part of their ancestry to tribal groups in
particular places in the first half of the 19th century,
particularly 1840. That, surely, applies to all water to a
greater or lesser degree, while perhaps dependant in part on
the relationship with the water in the intervening years.
These New Zealanders claim privileges because of the family
they happened to be born into, and these could well apply
across the country. Do Ngai Tahu members, for example, "own"
or have some form of "guardianship" over the Water of the
Might Ngai Tahu in the future take fees from Contact Energy,
Trust Power (which would be passed on in higher electricity
charges) and farmer irrigators for the use of water?
Or will Maori involvement in Resource Management Act resource
decisions increase?
This, too, may add another cost impost which, in effect,
waters down the rights of the community's representatives -
via regional councils - to make decisions.
Treaty of Waitangi "principles" and "partnership" and the
rights of certain New Zealanders have gained increasing legal
status since the 1987 Treaty ruling of Justice Cooke and
decisions of successive governments.
Quite clearly, it is in the interests of some people to push
separatism and distinct rights - and why wouldn't they?
Likewise, separate Maori seats and Maori parties skew the
political process in that direction. This has gained such
momentum that many, including much of the political
establishment, support its basic premises.
As for those whose interests it serves, many have - not
surprisingly - come to believe with an almost religious
fervour, and expectations have escalated. The Treaty of
Waitangi, a political document like all treaties at all
times, has become a sacred text.
It is on these understandings that the Waitangi Tribunal
While it can, and has, exposed specific exploitation and
injustices from New Zealand's post-colonial history, it and
its members come to their deliberations from a particular
viewpoint of life and history. Maori negotiators and
politicians continuously are able to use their political
astuteness to exploit their bargaining position to advance
their interests. John Key's Government, for example, was
persuaded to sign - unlike Labour - the Declaration of
Indigenous Rights. Mr Key told everyone it would make little
practical difference. Now, in the context of the Mighty River
and water claims, it is being quoted back at him.
Only a generation or two ago, it would widely have been
thought ridiculous that any New Zealander or group of New
Zealanders "owned" our basic resources. In certain circles
these days, though, it is self-evident that descendants of
the earlier inhabitants "own" not just a specific share of
deep-sea fishing rights but also water, the latest in the
series of claims.
There are claims to minerals, the airwaves, and so on. Where
will it end?
In New Zealand's current climate and given that, in the end,
interests battle it out on a political front, some sort of
messy "compromise" probably will be reached. The political

Watch Dogs trailer points to viral promo site
Watch Dogs got plenty of attention following the PlayStation 4 reveal, but did you spot the website URL hidden in its trailer? It leads to a website which has been "0wn3d by DedSec", splashed with an ASCII logo and the Latin phrase "quis custodiet costodes ipsos" – who watches the watchmen? Given the game's thematic concerns of hacking and surveillance, there are probably further secrets to be unlocked or unveiled. Watch Dogs has been confirmed for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Wii U.
Thanks, Destructoid.

We have a custom yum repository created using createrepo, which is hosted in an Amazon S3 bucket. We're using the yum-s3-iam plugin configured as explained in this blog post. to allow our ec2-instances to gain access to the protected URLs.
However, we can't seem to get yum to respect the packages in our repository on the target server. When running yum repolist, I can see that the repo is found, but both packages in the repo are excluded.
[ec2-user@lysithea ~]$ sudo yum clean all && sudo yum repolist

Notice that I get a notification for the reason 514 packages were excluded from "epel", but nothing for "custom-main".
Here's the /etc/yum.repo.d/custom-main.repo file's contents:
And here's the repository layout (which is sync'ed with the s3 bucket using s3cmd):
HaximusPrime:yum_repo ajbrown$ tree .
└── noarch
├── campaign-galleries-0.8.4-01.noarch.rpm
├── repodata
│ ├── filelists.sqlite.bz2
│ ├── filelists.xml.gz

│ ├── primary.xml.gz
│ └── repomd.xml
└── splunkforwarder-5.0.2-149561-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm
We've verified the server can access the repository, and the plugin is configured correctly. In fact, I've added a few different versions of the same RPM to the repo, and observed the yum repo list output change accordingly (0+3, 0+4, and so on).
I've tried repackaging our proprietary RPM with different architectures, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
Any ideas? Is there any way to force yum to tell me why the packages aren't being included?
