Kofi Annan: A Man of Peace in a World of War
|Meisler, Stanley
Published by: John Wiley & Son, Inc., Hoboken, New Jersey, 2007
Reviewed by: Theo Neethling, Department of Political Science, Faculty of Military Science (Military Academy), Stellenbosch University
In the African Journal on Conflict Resolution Volume 8 No. 3, 2008
In Kofi Annan, A Man of Peace in a World of War, Stanley Meisler presents a biography of Kofi Annan as a man who rose from schoolboy in Ghana to world statesman and Nobel prize winner, and of the joys and despair that marked his decade as leader of the United Nations (UN). The book is not an authorised biography and Annan did not read the manuscript before publication, but he was aware of the biographer's intentions and co-operated with the project. He also encouraged his staff and friends to meet with Meisler.

OSHA News Release - Table of Contents

US Department of Labor's OSHA cites Beasley Forest Products in Georgia
for combustible dust and other hazards; $78,000 proposed in penalties
SANDERSVILLE, Ga. – The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Beasley Forest Products Inc. for 21 safety and health violations at its Sandersville hardwood sawmill production facility. OSHA opened an inspection in October after receiving a complaint. Proposed penalties total $78,000.
Twelve serious safety violations involve failing to develop specific lockout/tagout procedures for the energy sources of equipment, properly use compressed air for cleaning, install guardrails on walkways to prevent workers from falling 5�18 feet, provide standard handrails on stairways, provide signage prohibiting unauthorized foot or vehicle traffic where logs were being loaded and unloaded, provide machine guards, repair a damaged ladder, allow access to the circuit breaker box, and install covers on electrical boxes for the sorter control cab and the sorter system.
Four serious health violations include failing to establish and implement a hazard communication program for workers exposed to combustible dust, prevent the accumulation of combustible dust, implement a hearing conservation program, and properly store oxygen and acetylene cylinders. A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
Five other-than-serious safety violations with no monetary penalties include failing to certify employees who operate powered industrial trucks, mark exit doors, keep electrical wiring from being exposed, properly splice the electrical source for the sorter system and provide strain relief for electrical cords. An other-than-serious violation is one that has a direct relationship to job safety and health, but probably would not cause death or serious physical harm.
"This inspection has identified a range of hazards that include the accumulation of combustible dust, a lack of machine guarding and fall hazards," said Bill Fulcher, director of OSHA's Atlanta-East Area Office. "Employers cannot wait for an OSHA inspection to identify the hazards that expose their employees to the possibility of serious injuries."
Hazlehurst-based Beasley Forest Products has 15 business days from receipt of the citations and proposed penalties to comply, request a conference with OSHA's area director or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
To ask questions, obtain compliance assistance, file a complaint, or report workplace hospitalizations, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, the public should call OSHA's toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742) or the agency's Atlanta-East office at 770-493-6644.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

Jake Burbywrote a review of Selle San Marco Concor Racing Red Edition Saddle on November 21, 2014
Not really available....
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Ordered this saddle, received something totally different. A SSM Concor yes, but not this model or design. Make sure if you order this you want the "Red lightning bolt" style, not this one pictured here. Spent an hour last night waiting at the Backcountry.com/Competitive Cyclist retail store only to find out this item isn't even available and they mistakingly put the wrong image up...kinda sucked.

Thus not only as oft as we speak, as one saith, but also as oft as we do anything of note or consequence, we subject ourselves to everyone\'s censure, and happy is he that is least tossed upon tongues; for utterly to escape the snatch of them it is impossible. If any man conceit, that this is the lot and portion of the meaner sort only, and that princes are privileged by their high estate, he is deceived. "As the sword devoureth as well one as the other," as it is in Samuel ; nay, as the great commander charged his soldiers in a certain battle, to strike at no part of the enemy, but at the face; and as the king of Syria commanded his chief captains to "fight neither with small nor great, save only against the king of Israel" ; so it is too true, that Envy striketh most spitefully at the fairest, and at the chiefest. David was a worthy prince, and no man to be compared to him for his first deeds, and yet for as worthy as act as ever he did (even for bringing back the Ark of God in solemnity), he was scorned and scoffed at by his own wife. Solomon was greater than David--though not in virtue, yet in power--and by his power and wisdom he built a temple to the LORD, such a one as was the glory of the land of Israel, and the wonder of the whole world. But was that his magnificence liked of by all? We doubt of it. Otherwise, why do they lay it in his son\'s dish, and call unto him for easing of the burden : "Make," say they, "the grievous servitude of thy father, and his sore yoke, lighter"? Belike he had charged them with some levies, and troubled them with some carriages. Hereupon they raise up a tragedy, and wish in their heart the temple had never been built. So hard a thing it is to please all, even when we please God best, and do seek to approve ourselves to every one\'s conscience.',

Security Information
Anthem Data Breach - February 10, 2015
There was a large data breach at Anthem, Inc. that compromised personal information for millions of people. The State Bank of Lincoln is aware of the breach and has no indication that any State Bank of Lincoln debit card or State Bank of Lincoln account number was compromised. Here is a link from Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield themselves discussing the breach http://www.anthemfacts.com/
Please be extra vigilant if you have done business with Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield. There may be phishing attempts by these thieves to gain some information from you. You should also keep a close eye on your credit and tax information. Please read all the information on this page to better protect you from potential Identity Theft.
Internet Explorer 8 May 19, 2014
For your security protection, UPGRADE NOW: As of June 26, 2014 security and some site features will no longer be updated for Internet Explorer 8. In addition, Microsoft is no longer supporting Windows XP operating system. Anyone continuing to use this browser or operating system is at greater security risk when using Netteller Internet Banking.
Heartbleed Update - April 11, 2014
We have completed our assessment of any possible vulnerabilities of State Bank of Lincoln products and services to the now highly publicized Heartbleed Bug and are happy to report we believe all State Bank of Lincoln solutions to be unaffected and not vulnerable. Below are some tips on what to do regarding this Bug
- Verify with websites you use that they are updated and protected from Heartbleed. Here is a link that you can enter the site in question and run a test: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/
- After verification, change your password on those websites
- Do not enter personal or financial information into a website until you have checked with the website operator to ensure they have updated the site to prevent Heartbleed. Even if you see the secure padlock in the browser, your transmissions may not be safe until the website updates its security for Heartbleed. Changing your password now on a site that has not been updated, is actually less secure than leaving it alone until after the website operator applies the update. After the website is updated, you should change your password on it.
ATM Electronic Banking SecurityTips to Protecting your Information
ATM/Debit Cards
Criminals can do numerous tricks to gain access to your debit card number and PIN. Below are some tips to help avoid your card being compromised:
- Do not let your debit card out of your sight when purchasing goods and services.
- Change your PIN number on a regular basis.
- If your card is lost or misplaced, contact your institution immediately.
- Do not write your PIN number down.
- Destroy unused or expired cards.
- Sign your card immediately upon receiving it.
- Look closely at ATMs to verify nothing has been altered before using. Criminals can manipulate ATM dispensers sometimes to appear you did not get your cash, when in fact, it was dispensed. They can also attach skimming devices to the face of an ATM or make alterations to the card reader to take information off your card
You need to be careful when using your debit cards. They provide access to your hard earned money. Please be careful to follow these recommendations so that you are less likely to become a victim.
Electronic Banking SecurityTips to Protecting your Information
There are numerous ways in which a thief can try and steal your personal information. Protecting your personal information is vital when doing electronic banking. This involves E-Mail, Debit Cards, Internet Banking and many other electronic mediums. The State Bank of Lincoln is dedicated towards assisting our customers in protecting their information. This page will illustrate some tips and pointers towards achieving the goal of a safe and reliable electronic banking experience. You can also visit www.fdic.gov for more helpful hints.
General Security Practices
There are many things that can be done to assure cyber-criminals do not gain your information. Below are some general guidelines to help prevent and minimize losses if your information does get stolen.
- Balance your statement EVERY month. You should also verify ALL activity regularly. This can be done through Internet Banking or just checking your balance. You need to verify that all transactions hitting your account are legitimate. The longer you go without reconciling your account the greater the danger of a criminal taking more and more of your money.
- Always shred documents with personal information. Criminals are not beneath dumpster diving. You need to make sure that information is unreadable before being thrown away.
- Obtain a credit report annually. If a criminal gains your personal information, they may try and pretend to be you. They can open numerous false accounts and destroy your credit if you do not check your credit report regularly.
- Notify financial institutions of address changes in advance. You do not want your personal information sent to somebody else.
- Remove mail promptly from the mailbox. Criminals would be more likely to steal your mail if they see it sitting out for long periods of time.
- Have your financial services numbers available. If your information is compromised or stolen, time is very important in stopping the criminal before he has done any damage to your credit.
- Keep sensitive documents in a secure place, like a lock box or safe.
E-Mail Electronic Banking SecurityTips to Protecting your Information
There are numerous methods that cyber-thieves use to get your personal information through e-mail. Two of the most common are Phishing and Pharming:
Phishing is a scheme where cyber-thieves pretend to be your financial institution, credit card company, or any financial service provider. You will receive an e-mail or phone call pretending to be your institution and they will ask you to verify personal information. They will usually try to scare you in to taking immediate action, by saying your account will be locked or frozen unless immediate action is taken. They will try many ways to gain your trust and have you give away your information. NEVER give this information away. Financial Service providers will not ask for your information in this manner.
Pharming is a scheme where cyber-thieves will use Malware or Spyware on your computer to collect information. Sometimes false links are provided in e-mails, directing customers to sites which appear legitimate. There the customer enters their secure information and the thieves steal the information and use it on legitimate sites. Be very wary of clicking links in e-mails. They can easily lead you to having a compromised computer.
Always be wary of any type of e-mail or telephone correspondence claiming they need your personal information. Legitimate businesses will almost never conduct business in this manner. Always contact your financial service provider if you are at all uncertain. If you are the victim of a Phishing or Pharming attack you should immediately contact your financial service provider. Anti-virus, firewalls, spam filters, and anti-spyware should always be used and kept up to date.
Internet Banking SecurityTips to Protecting your Information
Internet Banking
Internet Banking is a very common way to conduct business today. Financial institutions utilize SSL encryption, multi factor authentication, and other security measures to try and ensure a safe Internet Banking experience. Despite the various security measures used by financial institutions, criminals will try to find ways in to your personal information. Below are some tips and hints for Internet Banking.
- Make sure you are in your financial institutions website. Scammers will try to spoof a legitimate website with a fake one. The best way to verify this is to make sure the web address in your address bar and is preceded by https:// This does not guarantee safety but sites that start with http:// should be avoided. Fraudsters will generally use addresses that start with http:// You do not want to enter secure information on a site that does not start with https://
- Never write down your username or password.
- Do not use obvious passwords.
- Never write down your authentication questions. These are questions you should know and not have to write down.
- Never share your login information with anybody through the phone or e-mail.
- Always keep you anti-virus and anti-spyware up to date.
Internet Banking is quickly becoming the preferred method for most people to access their financial information. Cyber-thieves realize this and are constantly trying to develop ways to obtain your information. Following the above steps should greatly reduce your chances of becoming a victim.
Protecting Your PrivacyOpt Out From Preapproval Mailers
On occasion a customer may receive pre-approval letters for refinancing or new car purchases from other lenders or car dealerships. The pre-approval letters often have your payment amount, etc., which can make it seem your lender is giving out your information. The pre-approval letters often are worded in a way that leads you to believe they have more information than they actually do.
There are pre-screened lists that some companies purchase from the credit agencies for marketing purposes. We want to reassure you that we do protect your privacy and the information is being provided by the credit agencies and not by the State Bank of Lincoln.
There are steps that can be taken to stop pre-approval letters. Similar to the Do Not Call list, you can opt out from pre-approved mailers by calling (888)567-8688.
