-strange through that some of you people got it through Zune and while evidence suggests that the Singapore region got the update but only a handful got them which led to only one conclusion, they didn't get it through Zune.
I don't know what "manually" means but it probably means not from Zune.
The first time when I read this post, one word came to my mind "Retarded"
The update was pushed down via ZUNE and its an OFFICIAL update. So stop being a retard and get over it.
08-03-2012 6:03
Why limit to a small part of people can download via Zune? Nokia has learnt from Anna upgrade and released Belle upgrade to most people. A better cooperation between Nokia and Microsoft should have done before any upgrade. Only Singapore and India can update via Zune in the past 2 days while Nokia announced at 7 Mar 2012 that this firmware has been officially released. Have you seen such happened in Apple releasing IOS upgrade? The WP updating policy is still very vague. Some said Microsoft allowed for 2 major upgrade, while current rumour are saying WP8 is in different kernal and cannot be updated by first generation WP. Carrier may keep any update until the next update. Android update are tied to OEM but Microsoft seems worsen this. I shall not buy any WP since I have been left out when Microsoft did the same with Windows Mobile and now lowering the entrance level to 256mb RAM for Tango.

Guys, does anybody know if I can skip the 8107.79 update and go directly for 8107.12070 (when it's available here, in Europe)? I de-installed 8107.79 on purpose as it was rather buggy for me. So currently I'm on 7740 one.
Just want to make sure that I will be notified and allowed to get 12070 without first installing the 8107.79 one. Thanks!
Not exactly, 8107.79 is an O/S update, 8107.12070 is a firmware update only.
You could just install 12070, but you would still have 7440 O/S.

Before any of you jokers download the india firmware, you should probably know 2 things:
1) There are significant bugs concerning the volume with this firmware (it will for instance suddenly go to full volume randomely, when someone calls and also when connecting the phone to anything eg [pc)
2) You can no longer set a destination or route in the 'Maps' app. You can only see where you are. (yeah.....so a PRETTY big bug
Have fun kitty kats. Till next time.
About the 1), I have confirmed that bug. It only happens if the volume is less than 10 (happens everytime). Others who have the 12070 firmware can check this out. Keep your volume less than 10 and call. The ringtone starts at high volume and then returns to low volume. Also if you are playing music at less than volume of 10 and someone calls, the music blasts at 30 volume for 1 sec , then the ringone plays at 30 volume and then it returns to low volume. After rejecting the call or finishing the call, the music starts playing again (which it should do) but at full volume (should not do because my volume was set at less than 10) for 1 second and then it plays at low volume. Nokia should really improve their Internal Firmware testing.
About the 2), if you set your Browser and search language (available in region+language settings menu) to English(US or UK), Maps does everything you say.

I have to say that I'm disappointed with Nokia and Microsoft. I bought the Lumia 800 at it's release last year. I'd been looking for ages and was lined up to get the iPhone was was persuaded to wait for the Windows 7 phone. What a BIG mistake. The battery life on the 800 has been terrible from the start. Shortly after its release there was an urgent update to try and fix the issue, still no resolution, then now, after ALL this time, there is a fix which apparenly triples battery life and the UK appears to be way down the line to get the update.
With all due respect Nokia and Microsoft, you may have lost a customer here in the UK!

It is not pair with iPhone paulheu. After 8 hours at work, i have 23% left. That means I have to charge the phone twice a day. That is not good enough and even the iPhone 3g is better than this.
I am considering going back to my old HTC, just because of this. I cant trust this phone ant .p.t. I have to live in a charger.

Sounds pretty odd, have you checked that Xbox live connection is disabled (battery eater) and if you have MS facebook app installedm that the setting "Run under screen lock" is not selected (another battery killer, seems to update itself quite often). MS's native applications are capable of runnign in the background even if they are closed (3th party apps cannot, they can only use background agents). Even with 11500/11501 frimware, i can easily get 24h+ usage times with normal business use (calls, mails, some web browsing and muisc listening).
08-03-2012 14:08
I have read somewhere that Microsoft praise WP has battery life better than Android and Samsung has claimed to make device with at least one day usage in 2012. Hope this new firmware can achieve the perceived value of WP. To my experience, Lumia 800 battery life is not on par with my 1 year old HTC Desire HD.

Many are confused as to why the New Firmware details are not published on the respective Nokia site and why during the update it clearly states "NOKIA update for Windows Phone" Hence the question WAS is it offical..
Tango (WP7.7) is slated for release in the next two months (April/May)..Check online in various forums..
As for this update 12070..Just saw some bugs..
1) THIS CONFIRMS AN EARLY POST IN THIS THREAD ABOUT THE RINGER VOLUME.. The volume level when the phone rings for the first 1-2 seconds jumps to max then comes down to what was set..It is horrible loud (enough to make everyone around you know that your receiving a call and wake up the dead.)
2) After I did a soft reset via settings after the update, the Battery saver screen option to activate the battery saver cannot be selected and önly the percentage of battery charge is available without showing remaining time and time since last charge..Even the IMEI and SIM ID in the about screen is missing..These issues are resolved by restarting the phone and then are fine..
3) Now for the battery..Before the update the remaining time used to show 2 days and 5 hrs on average with average use..Now after the update it has dropped to 1 day and 15-17 hrs on average with average use..Still early days though for this F/w update..The battery saver screen is also not reliable at all and I agree with an earlier post that said the algorithim keeps estimating depending on usage..One instance was last night where my phone had about 24% charge (4hrs) and I chanced it by not putting it on charge while I slept..When I woke up the next morning after roughly 7-8hrs it was in battery saver mode with 6hrs remaining (The battery saver kicks in exactly when the remaining charge percentage is 20%)..Today will try with the battery saver on thru out till the 20% mark..
I say as what the N8 had with regard to ONLY battery power management where we could see only the percentage and the option to activate the battery saver maunally by just tapping on the battery icon should be kept with the Lumia 800 because all of us have become too aware of the battery by looking at the battery saver screen and the diagnostic app..The N8 was a great phone with hardware to match..
NOKIA you guys are getting things sorted out slowly but dont sort it too slowly..The Lumia is a great phone with alot of potential, but your need to strike the right Firmware and OS balance like your'll did with your earlier smart phones, like the N8-00 for example and so on..Handed it is a new avenue with windows but your'll need to work more closer together to sort things out..

Hi Parag4485,
Looks like you have a defective unit... I suggest you take it either for a replacement or repair...
If latest firmware is still giving you the Interference, it strongly suggests that its a defect... Nokia has released three firmwares till date. If you have this annoying interference, I doubt any trick/ tweak is gonna help you...

That being the case >> Fire Maps (Not Nokia Maps) >> It will detect your current Location >> In the map locate your Destination and Touch it for 2-3 seconds >> The destination will be set >> Finally press the "UP Arrow key" at the bottom.... As simple as that....
In Nokia Drive >> Wait for the GPS Lock >> Click on the bottom right icon and select Set Destination >> Type the Location you want to go.......
Don't quite understand, where is the confusion.... Are you talking about choosing a different Start Point other than your current Location >> Then you have to wait for the New Version of Nokia Drive which will allow this feature + Full Offline Navigation (just like Symbian Devices)...

GWAC Summit: Meeting of the Minds
Friday - 3/18/2011, 11:00am EDT
By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts, GWACs, may seem like the stuff of mystery, but they're how an astounding amount of federal IT work gets done.
According to the General Services Administration, "are multiple-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (MA/IDIQ) contracts that help agencies meet their technology requirements through a customizable, solutions-based approach."
To get the inside view of GWACs and the latest changes, trends and myths, Federal News Radio's monthly discussion gathered some of the biggest acquisitions managers in government for a "Meeting of the Minds".
We were joined by:
- Michael O'Neill, GSA, Director, governmentwide acquisition contract program
- Mary B. Armstead, NIH, Program Director, Office of Acquisition Management and Policy
- Joanne Woytek, NASA, SEWP Program Manager
During the conversation, all three we asked about the Office of Management and Budget's mythbusting educational campaign, and found all three shared a rather surprising take on a few of the so-called "myths."
Here are excerpts from part four of the discussion about the mythbusting campaign and working more closely with industry.
Armstead: "When we look at that, essentially we're talking about a list of 10 things. Ten misconceptions that the contracting folks, perhaps program officials, have been operating with. I'm proud to say that as it relates to the NIH GWAC program, and I can say NIH very generally, that we're not hampered by such misconceptions. And as a wonderful example, on the CIO-SP3 the use of requests for information, RFIs, the use of draft solicitations if you will, were used years before the advent of a formal solicitation on CIO-SP3. It worked beautifully because, actually, reaching out to industry in that manner through FedBizOpps allowed us to get the kind of input to inform the process. They provided content around the description of work, terms and conditions, some of the special features that are offered on CIO-SP3, so very meaningful process.
"Also if we go and look up more broadly at the NIH and we concentrate on, I think it's myth number seven that talks about the fact that industry days may not be a beneficial use of vendor time or fed time. We disagree. NIH last year, in the early summer months, had a highly successful industry day. Vendors, both large and small, were able to join us. We're repeating that theme in May, early May of this year. I think the focus however is going to be on the socio-economic entities. So I think it's very useful. Perhaps the myth emerges from the fact that individuals may be looking at events such as industry days as a one shot fix. They're not. It's an opportunity to first and foremost, which I think is critically important, find out something about an organization. You know, the lay of the landscape. Secondly, to make those contacts and begin the relationship, but that's only the beginning."
O'Neill: "We know from our positive experiences with the Better Buy project that communication in the early stages of the acquisition lifecycle improves solicitation requirements. When I came to GSA, one of the first things that was very evident was the fact that we actually embraced the industry partners and treated them as partners. They have a unique insight on how to get work done that we in the government often miss if we hold them at arm's length and never really embrace that dialogue that we're trying to break down the myths with."
Woytek: "We actually had been doing the presolicitation draft RFP back in SEWP 1 on the internet, which in 1990 was not something anybody believed you could do. We actually had to fight legal to put anything on the internet. So it's just business as usual there and we just continue to work strongly with industry in many ways."
For more from the powerhouses of acquisitions, Michael O'Neill, Mary B. Armstead, and Joanne Woytek on GWAC changes, trends, and mythbusting listen to the entire discussion posted in the audio players at the top of the page, and for other panel discussions from Federal News Radio, click here.

Give it a few more tries. I was full of expectations the first time I tried it at the store, but was disappointed too. It took awhile for me to appreciate the pineapple and smokey leather combo.
I am a huge CREED fan. They are by far my favorite niche house. I have read a lot about the Aventus hype and I was expecting an amazing and unbelievable scent. When I got the sample, I was so disappointed at how weak it was. Dont get me wrong, Aventus smells nice, but nowhere near the $250 price tag and hype that its been getting.
The longevity on it was very poor, after 3-4 hours I couldnt smell it anymore. Although Ive read people say they couldnt smell it themselves but others around them could. Most CREEDs last longer than average on my skin. Has anyone else been disappointed by this scent or am I just crazy? Maybe my nose was off that day. I still have the sample; perhaps I should test it out tomorrow
Nothing was wrong with the batch, the sample I got was from a tester out of an upscale store.

yep smells nice but very weak on my skin too.
nothing special.
i like GIT better than this one.
Had the exact same thing happen to me with an official carded sample. Could barely smell anything, definitly nothing special, just boring. If it's just that I can't smell it on myself and others can, then no thank you. Why would you want a cologne you can't smell on yourself. Oh yeah, because the ladies love it.
It's just an ok scent for me, definitely not among the best the house has to offer.
It's my favorite from the house and it lasts 8-12 hours on me.

I think Aventus is a wonderful scent.
I personally love it, but it's definitely not for everyone. You should, as others have said, give it some study and wear it a few times. At first I didn't really get pineapple, and instead got a lot of smoke and some woods, but after a while I got the pineapple and found it rounded out by some crisp, dry, apple, and some woods and just enough smoke to pull everything together.
Aventus is one of the best IMO.
I was pretty disappointed by it, but in a different way. I get very good longevity, but I have yet to have an issue with that, with any fragrance. The scent itself wasn't mind blowing. I have worn it several times, and I do not love it. I do like it, but hardly ever wear it. I might wear it for a week and see how that goes. I usually just wear it one day and then put it away for a month. Again, you definitely aren't the only one
I personally really don't like it...at all. It is one of my least favorites from Creed that I have experienced.
But after giving it more and more time, I started getting the pineapple, it's not a sweet pineapple but rather a sharp fizzy pineapple. It's very masculine smelling rather than the playful fruity vibe I kinda expected. And the smoke started fading more and more into the background. Even my friends who smell it agree. I don't believe it's because it ages, I think it the nose getting more used to the smell and taking a liking to it. As for longevity, I believe its olfactory fatigue. I couldn't smell it after 2hrs, but after 6hrs and taking a bath, I could still get very slight whiffs of it in bed..
For me Aventus is best of CREED (I haven't smelled exclussive line yet). Smoky pineapple really works with my skin, I easily get 8+ hours...
I don't like the stuff much and would consider it a "weak effort" by Creed. That said, if you mean "weak strength" I think you should re-try as it is definitely not weak in that respect.

Best longevity of any Creed i have tried or own, absolute.

With all the over-hyped love of the scent on BN, many new people are disappointed when they try it. It smells nice, but projection and longevity are poor considering the pricetag. Ladies do seem to like it...It is one of the few that my wife actually compliments me when I wear it, but for that price? Lucky I got a discount or I still wouldn't own it. Surprising how many BN'ers sell their kids into slavery for money to buy a flaccon, name their firstborn Aventus, and generally worship this "elixir of the gods" Makes me wonder if they ever sniffed a "real" parfum...
For Sale: VINTAGE Montales
I gave up on it after about 5 wears - just does nothing for me
Tested it at Neiman Marcus in Chicago last month. I, my wife, and younger daughter were all quite unimpressed, especially given the high price. Also tried GIT and MI. Same story. And yeah... I did test them on my skin.
But, lots of guys (and supposedly women) love the Creeds. To each his own.

Guys, you have to remember that the sillage is what others smell and what you smell when you catch a whiff of someone's fragrance.
I get amazing longevity and projection out of aventus. 2 sprays and i'm set. If i spray more people around me will die. I have Y02 batch and I really like the pineapple - smoke -combo.
Of Creed I love Millesime Imperial, GIT and Silver Mountain Water over Aventus...!
OK I have applied Aventus about 30min ago and I am already getting a different vibe than I did on the first day when I tested it out on my wrist. It's definately a lot stronger than when I initially sprayed it. I am getting way more of the spicy pineapple vibe, which I barely got the first time. I'm also getting a similar sour-ish Virgin Island Water dry down vibe.
It's not overpowering and it is A LOT stronger on the neck than on the wrist.
Merry Aventmus everybody!
3 hours in and I am still getting promiment wiffs of the spicy pineapple; the pineapple which I didn't get at all during the first test. ANANAventus is proving better in the second time wear than in the first.
Side not - any idea how long until Aventus drops to a discount price of around 160$?
Aventus took me a month before I feel in love with it. I thought it was just average when I first wore it. Then I wore it to a party and got at least 5+ compliments for some reason even though it just continued to smell average to me. 2 weeks later I was amazed at how much I didn't notice how good it smelled. It takes time.
Great for those who smell me, average for myself.
I'm pleasantly pleased.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
I absolutely love this fragrance its amazing
8 hours in, still get a wiff but it has toned down. The spray was from a 5ml decant, much weaker than the full bottle atomizer. From what I've got in the test was a non overpowering spicy/Woody pineapple, and pretty linear. It's not as powerful as git or smw, more along the levels of mi. Quite nice! Much better than the first time I've tested it!
I don't like it. Only thing I think it has going for it, and I will give credit to where it is due. I can honestly say this smells like nothing else out there, I think maybe that is why so many like this, because it is not something you would smell at Macy's or Sephora. Everyone does seem to smell like each other to an extent, as so many people are wearing the same frags and i think things tend to get a little over saturated. Unlike the days of the old powerhouse scents that were unique, long lasting, many more to choose from and you didn't have to spend 200 bucks or more to find out that you didn't get the good batch of it
When I first tested Aventus, I wasn't all that impressed. I'm not sure why, but the first few sprays smelled sharply of alcohol, birch tar, not all that much pineapple, and it didn't last all that long. So, my first couple of wearings weren't great. Overall, the composition still smelled pretty good from a short distance, but it wasn't that impressive. Then on my 3rd or 4th wearing, suddenly, the rich, natural, fizzy pineapple opening was there without the "alcohol" smell, the birch was toned down a LOT more, it developed more, and lasted much longer.
I have no idea why this was or what happened, but if I were to have judged it or written it off completely within those first 2-3 wearings, I wouldn't have one of my - and my wife's - favorites right now. The other thing I figured out with Aventus is, that while it does have average to above average longevity on skin, it's an absolute BEAST when sprayed on clothes and will project quite strongly for 24 hours or more this way. I sprayed my neck one morning, and some subsequently got on my shirt collar. That evening, I really couldn't smell it anymore, but I was sitting on the couch, and my wife who was sitting on the other side commented that she could still smell it quite easily and that it smelled really, really good.
So, I'd say give it a chance. Use up the sample since you already have it for a few wearings. It's by no means the holy grail of all fragrances, but it does have pretty broad appeal and is quite wearable/versatile, so I feel it's one of those worth thorough testing. You may still find you don't care for it and that's perfectly fine. There are plenty of hyped-up frags I either can't stand, or at least don't care for or see the appeal of.
It was insulting when they came out with Aventus PRICED HIGHER than the rest of their millesime line, when the ingredients it relies on so heavily are predominantly extremely common and cheap synthetics. While I do enjoy the drydown, it is qualitatively a designer level drydown.

If this isn't the most hyped frag. on BN ever, then it's way up there...
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??
Nice scent? Yes. Disappointed? That too!
This has become my signature scent for special events and I am yet to receive a damn compliment on it. Don't even get a compliment from my own wife who complimented me right away on Terre D'Hermes the very first day I sported it.
Funny thing I sprayed a Q-tip with Aventus a week ago or so which I keep by my desk here at work and I love the scent it is still projecting. Oh well.....
i spoke with a Creed regional sales rep in an upscale strore some weeks back. The conversation turned to Aventus and I brought up how poor longevity the fragrance has on me ...and to many others out there . Her reaction was not one of surprise or defense of Aventus against such critisizm, but rather a shrug and the comment " well just spray more, I go with at least 5 or 6". That was enough for me to hear that. At the current price of Aventus I expect alot more for my buck.
Keep testing it
It will change over time
It will change with the season
For me, it is the BEST for men from the House of Creed.
Keep Smelling Good
People need to learn to stop falling for hype - not just the Aventus hype. I'm talking about all hype. I think Aventus is excellent, but just because I think that doesn't mean anyone else should. It just means *I* think it's excellent.
The problem with hype is that it goes beyond people spreading their enthusiastic opinions and evolves into bandwagoning where people rave about something they might not be thrilled with in order to look like they're in the know, or one of the cool kids, or whatever. I remember seeing people post over the top raves about Aventus being the ultimate must own scent that no woman could possibly resist, and then I noticed some of those same people a few months later were selling or trading away their Aventus because it "didn't work." I've also seen some of the same people who swore up and down that they couldn't even smell it later go on the bandwagon hyping it as their favorite smell ever that lasts and lasts and lasts. So many of those who hype are just saying what they think will make them look cool. Sad, but true.
That's the problem with hype. People who want to look cool jump on the bandwagon in order to try to look impressive. There's so much of that with Aventus. That's not to say none of the enthusiasm is genuine. Oh, no. Lots of it is. Like I said, I think Aventus is excellent. I easily get 8 hours of longevity from it, though I have other scents that last much longer. It's one of my favorite scents but it's definitely not my all time favorite and I get much better feedback when wearing others.
But it doesn't matter what I think. It matters what you think. If Aventus isn't for you, that's A-OK. It's not for everyone, and that's a good thing. Having your own tastes and preferences means you're your own person. I can't even imagine how boring life would be if we were all the same.
The trick to getting the most out of a forum like basenotes is to start noticing people whose taste seems to kind of match your own. That makes it easier to ignore the silly hype and discover scents you're more likely to enjoy.

Is Aventus a nice smelling fragrance? Yes
Is it worth the Creed pricetag? Like every single Creed I have tried, absolutely not.
Does it live up to the hype? No
Damn, peanuts are expensive.

It comes down to your own personal tastes. If you smell Aventus and love it enough to pay the number on the price tag, then it's worth it. If you don't enjoy it enough to pay the price, then it isn't. I feel sorry for the ones who get swept up in the hype, but honestly, they should know better. And if they don't, then hopefully after a bad purchase, they learn.
I put a number on what I thought Aventus was worth - to me. I shopped around. When I found a way to get it cheaply enough to hit my price, I bought it. That involved a sale plus ebates plus cash back from my credit card. And now I own a 4oz bottle for around 50% of retail, and I'm glad.
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
As I have been with all but a very small handful (maybe two) of Creed's stuff. They have all been very 'safe', mass-market-friendly scents and nothing noteworthy.
The price and percieved 'exclusivity' of their stuff is what appeals to the jelly-headed snobs out there who think because they are paying a fortune for it they are buying quality.
I especially enjoy the Creed fanclub posts telling everyone how wonderful their stuff is, perhaps in a vain attempt to convince themselves (and others) that they haven't fallen for the hype generated on an internet forum, of all places.

I received at the same time samples of Aventus and Bois du Portugal. Aventus left me not-impressed... strange notes of kind of gasoline and pineapple, really not my cup of coffee. Much too fruity to my tastes.
Bois du Portugal, just the opposite. What a incredible, indescribably fine fragrance.

You can often hear: "I tried all the diets in the world, and I did not help. I ruined your metabolism, and now there is no chance to lose weight. " Is it true? Yes, the constant jumps from diet to diet adversely affect the metabolism. Does this mean that the chance to boost metabolism and become leaner lost forever? - NO.
Metabolism, simply, is the speed with which the body converts food into energy. We can affect this speed.
If you intend to lose weight, then the surest step is not to starve the body. The recommendation, which I always give, and which adhere to itself, it's three main meals and 1-2 snacks at intervals not exceeding 4 hours between them. Optimally 3-3.5 hours.
Once again - you MUST eat every few hours. This is an ideal formula for hormonal balance, because it maintains a stable blood sugar levels and the levels of two hormones - leptin and ghrelin.

Are you ready? Halloween is just a week away. As most pet parents scramble to put the finishing touches on their own costumes, some are scrounging for the cutest or scariest attire they can find for their pets, too. But hold on—are Halloween costumes really okay for our furry friends?
It depends, say experts. Our vets and behaviorists weighed in and said putting your pet in costume is okay as long as you're certain he's comfortable in his holiday gear.
If you decide to have your pet wear a costume, here are three helpful tips to keep in mind:
Your pet's Halloween garb shouldn't constrict his movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe, bark or meow. Be sure to try on costumes well in advance—and if your furry friend seems distressed, try switching to his birthday suit.
Examine your pet's costume and make sure it doesn't have any small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that he could choke on. Also, ill-fitting outfits can get caught on external objects or your pet, leading to injury.
Make sure your dog or cat has proper identification on underneath that cute costume. If for any reason your pet escapes and becomes lost during Halloween festivities, tags or a microchip can be a lifesaver.
Are you planning to dress up your pet for Halloween? Let us know in the comment—and be sure to tag us @ASPCA if you upload any pics of your festive friend to Twitter or Instagram.

my 3 tips for pet costumes are 1) NO 2) NO 3)NO
I agree ... no costumes for the furry kids!!!
I say NO NO NO to costumes or dressing up your pets.
I am with you Kathy, dogs are not little people.
My dog is a very special person. I have not children so he automatically becomes my child. I am a costume designer by trade and I have made several homemade costumes for him that are all very comfortable. It is all checked on him before the finishing touches.
I don't think costumes are wrong to put on an animal as long as they don't mind them. If you can tell your pet is uncomfortable or bothered by it then it should be taken off immediately. I agree though - my dog is my baby and I pretty much treat him like a human. How can you not spoil them!?!
I don't have children either but I know my dogs are not childred. Companions, yes, but not children. It's not fair to a dog to be treated like a human. They already put up with a lot of our shenanigans as it is without dressing them up as if they are. Oh well...

The World Wide Web is an Internet-based information system that extensively links documents and pages via hypertext. The links that make up the Web allow users to search for information on a vast variety of subjects and navigate with ease between Web pages (also called hypertext documents). These Web pages are stored on computers throughout the world and are connected by the Internet. Software applications called "browsers" allow one to access the Web.
Essential to the Web's ability to function, Hypertext Tranfer Protocol (HTTP) enables the transfer of Web pages to computers. Some pages instead use Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS), which encrypts data before transferring. Web pages are located at addresses denoted by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the primary code used for writing Web pages.
The World Wide Web was proposed in 1989 and invented in 1990 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a software engineer at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). People outside CERN began using the Web in 1991, and the first intuitive browser was released two years later. In the decades since, the Web has exploded in volume and usage, becoming one of the most useful communications systems and resources in human history. (Photo: Wikimedia Commons)

Economic Equity and Gender Equality for South Africa: A New Agenda for a New Generation
Sojomail - September 4, 2014
In a township called Khayelitsha, a woman wakes well before dawn to catch a bus that will carry her to the beautiful home in Cape Town where her employer/boss/master wants his tea in bed by 7 a.m. That is what "post-apartheid" South Africa still looks like today.
I just returned from a remarkable month in South Africa—the country that changed my life. I've often said that I learned my theology of hope from South Africa, during the anti-apartheid struggle I was thrust into as a young man. South African church leaders invited me in years ago. I got to see and experience the costly movement for freedom in the 1980s, witness the miracle of the inauguration of Nelson Mandela's rainbow nation in 1994, and later join a wonderful reunion of South African activists, many of whom had been in exile or in prison, along with some of us international allies. So when I set out on a South African speaking and book tour 20 years after the new democracy, I didn't know what to expect.
This time, I brought my family so they could see the country that had meant so much to me. What I discovered was a new generation of South African leaders ready to define their own vocation and mission as they help build a new nation. I quickly came to understand that making a deep connection with them was the real reason that I had come back. It's tough to be in the shadow of a heroic generation of leaders like Desmond Tutu whose agenda has been the political liberation of South Africa — accomplished to the amazement of the world. On this trip, 20 years later, I saw the incredible freedom of movement now for all the former racial categories — but also how the systemic geography of apartheid was still painfully evident.

Delayed software updates leave IRS computers prone to hackers, auditors say
Thursday - 11/1/2012, 8:10pm EDT
Thousands of IRS computers could be prone to cyber intruders because officials aren't updating software in a timely manner, according to a report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
Because hackers often exploit glitches in existing software to gain access to systems, software manufacturers frequently release patches, or fixes, for these bugs once they've been discovered.
Large organizations, such as the IRS, employ a process called patch management to stay on top of when software needs to be updated and to install the patches.
While it sounds mundane, leaving software unpatched is one of the main avenues through which hackers access normally protected systems.
"Any significant delays in patching software with critical vulnerabilities provides ample opportunity for persistent attackers to gain control over the vulnerable computers and get access to the sensitive data they may contain, including taxpayer data," the TIGTA report stated.
However, IRS has long struggled to effectively implement a patch-management process, auditors wrote.
While IRS has made strides recently in automating software updates and staying cognizant of when patches are needed, shortcomings still plague those efforts, TIGTA said. For example, IRS has not yet completed an accurate inventory of its IT equipment and thus can't determine whether all systems have been patched.
The auditors recommended IRS complete its inventory of IT assets. More broadly, the IG called for "enterprise-level oversight and leadership," to enforce policies for ensuring software patches are implemented.
IRS agreed with most of the recommendations. It said it planned to update its patch management policy to be clearer about installation standards and deadlines. The revised policy also puts the cybersecurity division in charge of ensuring agencywide compliance.
The report, dated Sept. 25, was first publicly released Thursday.

GARETH DUNCAN looks at the Saffas who impressed in the leagues around the world over the weekend.
Scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar didn't have a great record with the boot during the Springboks' 31-8 Rugby Championship victory over the Wallabies in Pretoria. After taking over the goal-kicking duties from debutant Johan Goosen, he only converted three of his seven attempts.
However, Pienaar has shown great accuracy in recent weeks in Europe – in general play and from the kicking tee.
He enjoyed a flawless display in Ulster's 46-19 win over Newport Gwent Dragons a fortnight ago, slotting seven from seven (five conversions and two penalties). He also scored a try to take his individual tally to 21 points.
Against tighthead prop WP Nel and lock Izak van der Westhuizen's Edinburgh on Friday, Pienaar knocked over all six of his conversions and scored his third try in four weeks to help the Northern Irish club to a 45-20 victory at Ravenhill. The 28-year-old also created a try for wing Craig Gilroy with a clever box kick into space.
Flank Robbie Diack came off the bench in the second half for the winners.
Ulster are still the only undefeated side in the all premier competitions in the northern hemisphere, enjoying a nine-match winning streak in the Pro12 and the European Cup.
Pienaar is expected to start for the Boks at scrumhalf over the next three weeks during their end-of-year tour. His experience in the European conditions will serve the team well, especially if he's needed to kick at goal.
In other results, former Stormers and WP wing Danie Poolman made his starting debut for Connacht at outside centre and delivered an impressive performance in their 18-3 win over tighthead prop Bees Roux and lock Corniel van Zyl's Treviso at Galway Sports Ground. Poolman scored a try in the first half, to help his club lead 13-0 at the break.
No 8 Josh Strauss was a strong performer in the Glasgow Warriors' 37-6 win over wing Tonderai Chavhanga's Newport Gwent Dragons.
In the French Top 14, scrumhalf Rory Kockott was again a match-winner for Castres as they beat Perpignan 38-36 at the Stade Pierre Antoine. Kockott scored a try and kicked two conversions and six penalties to edge his team to victory. This included a 79-minute penalty.
Fullback Scott Spedding scored a try in Bayonne's 22-11 triumph over scrumhalf Heini Adams' Bordeaux. Inside centre Sam Gerber and lock Dewald Senekal played for the victors.
Lock Bakkies Botha and loose forward Joe van Niekerk formed part of a strong forwards showing to help Toulon to a 24-19 win over reserve lock Anton van Zyl's Stade Francais. The victors' ascendancy up front set the platform for flyhalf Jonny Wilkinson to kick eight penalties.
Loosehead prop Gurthro Steenkamp came off the bench to help Toulouse to a 32-13 win over flank Jacques Cronje and lock Francois van der Merwe's Racing Metro. Van der Merwe scored a try for the losers during the first half.
In the English Premiership, Saffa-laden Saracens edged flank Ashley Johnson and lock Marco Wentzel's London Wasps 29-24 at Vicarage Road. Former Sharks lock Alistair Hargreaves scored a try for the victors. Loosehead prop Matt Stevens, hooker Schalk Brits, No 8 Ernst Joubert, reserve hooker John Smit, replacement prop Petrus du Plessis and substitute scrumhalf Neil de Kock also featured for the Watford club.

Perfumerias Avenida have strengthened their line-up with Russian veteran Ilona Korstin.
A key member of Russia's national team for several years and a player that has competed for CSKA Samara (and later CSKA Moscow), Sparta&K Moscow Region and this season, Besiktas, Korstin has joined the defending EuroLeague Women champions for three months.
The 31-year-year-old averaged 10.6 points and 6.5 rebounds for Besiktas in the EuroCup Women.
Jorge Manuel Recio Flemmich, the Avenida president, said Korstin "is a player who has won almost everything and we all know what it means for this team. She made the decision quickly, mainly because she wanted to come here to enjoy basketball."
Korstin played on Russia's gold-medal winning sides at the EuroBasket Women in 2007, and 2011.
In her lone EuroLeague Women title campaign of 2004-05, Korstin played for VBM-SGAU Samara and averaged 12.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 30.9 minutes per contest.
Samara beat Gambrinus Brno in the Final that season, 69-66.
She played 21 minutes but failed to score for the Sparta&K side that lost to Perfumerias in the title game of last year's EuroLeague Women.
Perfumerias won eight of their 12 games in EuroLeague Women Group B this season and will take on Beretta Famila Schio in a best-of-three Round 2 series.
The teams met twice during the Regular Season and split the encounters.
