Arab Facebook users reach 27.7M as Arab Spring fuels social media growth
The more governments block access, the bigger social media users grow, according to study, which registers 30 per cent increase in Facebook users in the Arab World for Q1 2011.
June 8, 2011 4:11 by Precious de Leon
There are now 27.7 million Facebook users in the Arab world by the end of the first quarter of 2011—a 30 percent jump from the beginning of the year, according to the second Arab Social Media Report (ASMR).
The findings of the report provide empirical evidence regarding the changing nature of social media usage in the region. According to the report, youth between 15 and 29 continue to account for around 70 per cent of Arab Facebook users at the end of Q1 2011, while women constitute just a third of users across the region.
The study, which is produced by the Governance and Innovation Program at the Dubai School of Government, also monitored Twitter growth in the region.
The number of active Twitter users in the Arab world during the same period was over 1.1 million—these are users who tweeted at least once every two weeks. These 'active users' generated over 22.7 million tweets during Q1 2011.
The UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Lebanon are the leading five countries in the region according to the percentage of Facebook and Twitter users while social media growth was the fastest in these countries experiencing social unrest. The report, which surveyed Facebook users in Tunisia and Egypt, in fact, found that six out of 10 respondents in both countries indicated that blocking access actually provided a boost to the movements, spurring protesters to more decisive and creative action.
The survey also indicated that around 85 per cent of respondents in both countries considered that social media usage during the movements in their countries was mainly for organizing people, disseminating information and raising awareness about the social movements.
Turkey continues to lead the region in terms of number of users while Egypt saw the highest increase in the number of users during the first quarter of 2011 among the Arab countries, adding close to two million Facebook users.
This edition monitored the growth of Facebook and Twitter in the region, propelled by the uprisings sweeping the Arab world. It revealed a substantial shift in the use of social media from social purposes towards civic and political action.

There is a surprising similarity in the way neural networks and analogue modular synthesizers function, in that for both, voltages are passed through components to produce data or sound. The neural interface we developed juxtaposes these two networks and in a sense creates a continuum that creates one unified network. With CellF, the musician and musical instrument become one entity to create a cybernetic musician, a rock star in a petri dish.

Pacquiao-Bradley II numbers down
The Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley Jr. welterweight title rematch on April 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas generated between 750,000 and 800,000 pay-per-view buys, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com.
That is a significant decline from what Pacquiao-Bradley I generated when Bradley received a heavily disputed split decision that led to worldwide outrage in June 2012. That fight generated 890,000 pay-per-view buys and many expected the rematch to at least equal the first fight.

"A truly magical estate to escape to and unwind..."
High in the Devon hills above the Taw/Torridge estuaries Webbery Manor Estate is an oasis of rural tranquillity. Steeped in history and with several noteworthy owners, Webbery Manor Estate was first mentioned in the Doomsday Book. It was given to Nicholas the Crossbowman, by a grateful William the Conqueror as a Saxon manor. In the 17th century it passed to the Lippincott family, one of whom set sail with the Mayflower flotilla to settle in America. In the 18th century, John Cutcliffe, the grandson of the owner, fought at the battle of Waterloo and was personally promoted by the Duke of Wellington.Set in 30 acres of parkland and woods, with grazing sheep, deer, owls, pheasant, birds of prey and other wildlife. The delightful gardens have numerous specimen trees and banks of rhododendrons giving a spectacular spring display. While the organic walled kitchen gardens grow some more unusual varieties of vegetables to the UK. You will find Romanesco, Cavelo Nero, and Pink Fir Apple potatoes to name a few, all complimentary subject to season and availability.Originally the estate threshing barn, now beautifully converted to a two-bedroomed detached cottage. The barn doors replaced with full height picture windows with views towards the Bristol Channel and Lundy Island. Beautifully decorated and furnished with antique and period pieces, solid oak floors, and hand-made curtains. Relax in the stylish, living room with Chinese carpet, and wood-burning stove on marble hearth. There are comfortable chairs to relax on and watch the flat screen TV, and doors leading to enclosed garden with views towards Lundy Island. The large bespoke kitchen with double range cooker is ideal for family breakfasts and informal evening meals round the large farmhouse table. The double en-suite bedroom room has triple aspect windows, brass bedstead and crisp fresh linen. The peaceful twin en-suite bedroom has period furniture, wood floor and plush bed linen.The lively market town of Bideford makes an excellent day out, with weekly market and working harbour. With so many pubs and restaurants to choose from, why not treat yourself to a meal out before heading home. Fishing and horse riding can be found within 5 miles. Shops and pubs 5 miles.

Savings of: $11.87 (20% off)
Didn't notice any results
Posted by 4630873230070687781 on May 20, 2013
Bought these after reading all the raving reviews here on i-herb. I followed the dosage religiously for 2 months. I am sure they didn't harm me during that time, but didn't notice any health improvements either...
Works well for my gastric but a bit expensive for maintenance use.

Good product.
The Mercedes of probiotics
Posted by philla on Apr 17, 2013
The product packaging really radiates delicacy and solidity. As it were 'handcrafted'. Interesting list of synergistic contents and nutrients. The japanese have high standards concerning their supplements, this product is certainly corresponding well to that. Quite expensive though. I used for a while when I had a stomach bug induced diarrhea. it seemed to help and it resolved fine. I will rebuy this whenever my Gi system is in serious trouble.

A good one
Posted by 5185999147855557324 on Apr 13, 2013
One of the leading brands in the field. Caused minor bloating but that is associated with the process of gut bacteria improving.
Good, but...
Posted by PaulaSutton on Apr 12, 2013
This is a decent priobiotic but Dr. Ohira sells another product that contains horse oil and I cannot support the slaughter of horses for a beauty or bath product. No worries, however, because there are many high-quality probiotics on the market and on iherb. Just look for a GMP (good manufacturing process) seal on the bottle and look for enterically coated probiotics (so the probiotics survive your stomach acids unharmed and make it into your small and large intestines where they do the most good). Also it is helpful to look for a high bacteria count probiotic if you need extra digestive support. Culturelle has a great reputation but there many others that are terffic as well. I am currently taking at priobiotic made by Renew Life, which is milk and lactose free--the bacteria cultures are grown on a garbanzo base rather than milk base.

I'm rating the price not the product, the product is amazing and I'll probably use it for a long time but I had to buy it from another website where it is $16 dollars cheaper!! I'm starting to question iherb's best price claims. I also wanted to buy a new product called Fucothin but didn't coz I found it $10 cheaper somewhere else!

Get to know Sophie, a freshman in high school who's struggling through the daily grind and all the crushes that come with it, as she shares her innermost thoughts and feelings in this remarkably relatable novel in verse from Sonya Sones.

KLIATT Brilliant.
Gr 7 Up
"My name is Sophie. This book is about me." With these words, Sonya Sones's novel (S & S, 2001) draws listeners into the private thoughts and longings of a ninth grade girl on the verge of finding love and learning what it means to mature. Dealing with a mother who immerses herself in the lives of her favorite soap stars, Sophie finds herself thinking about all the things her mother doesn't know about her, such as the fact that she's dating socially acceptable Dylan, though she has started daydreaming about a dorky boy named Murphy. When everyone else seems to leave town on a school break, Sophie has a blast with Murphy, and wonders if he is Mr. Right. Thoughts of her friends' reactions to the boy almost bring the new relationship to a halt. Told in Sophie's own free verse poems, the story moves and evolves quickly in a satisfying and tantalizing manner. Kate Reinders perfectly portrays Sophie's teen angst. Although the reading is sometimes too rapid for listeners to absorb the changes in topics, girls will relate to the author's honest prose and Sohie's angst. An excellent addition to YA collections .-Jessica Miller, New Britain Public Library, CT
Most people just call me Sophie
(which is the name
on my birth certificate),
or Sof,
or sometimes Sofa.
Zak and Danny think it's cute
to call me Couch,
as in:
"How're your cushions doing today, Couch?"
Or sometimes they call me Syphilis,
which I don't find one bit funny.
My parents usually call me
Sophie Dophie or Soso.
And Rachel and Grace call me Fifi,
or sometimes just Fee.
But Dylan calls me Sapphire.
He says it's because of my eyes.
I love the way his voice sounds
when he says it.
I like whispering it to myself.
His name for me.
It's like the secret password
to my heart.
Sixth Sense
Sometimes I just know things.
Like when Lou asked me to go on that walk
down by the reservoir last year
on the last day of eighth grade.
I knew he was going to say
he wanted to break up with me.
And I knew my heart
would shatter
when he did.
I just know things.
I can feel them coming.
Like a couple of weeks ago
when I went to the Labor Day party at Zak's.
Something perfect was going to happen.
I just knew it.
That was the night I met Dylan.
How It Happened
After Zak's party,
Rachel's big sister
came to drive a bunch of us home,
with her friend
and her friend's younger brother.
I was the last one to get in the car
and it turned out
all the other laps were taken,
so I had to sit on
Rachel's sister's friend's brother's lap.
It was
Dylan's lap,
but even though he goes to my school
I'd never seen him before.
And he had such smoldery dark eyes
that I felt like I'd been zapped
smack into the middle
of some R-rated movie
and everyone else in the car
was just going to fade away
and this guy and I
were going to start making out,
right then and there,
without ever having said
one word to each other.
But what really happened
was that he blushed and said,
"Hi. I'm Dylan."
And I blushed back and said,
"I'm Sophie."
And he said, "Nice name."
And I said, "Thanks."
After that we didn't say anything else
but our bodies seemed to be
carrying on a conversation of their own,
leaning together
into every curve of the road,
sharing skin secrets.
And just before we got to my house,
I thought I felt him
give my waist an almost squeeze.
Then the car rolled to a stop
and I climbed out
with my whole body buzzing.
I said good night,
headed up the front walk,
and when I heard the car pulling away,
I looked back over my shoulder
and saw Dylan looking over his shoulder
at me.
When our eyes connected,
this miracle smile lit up his face
and I practically had
a religious experience.
Then I went upstairs to bed
and tried to fall asleep,
but I felt permanently wide awake.
And I kept on seeing that smile of his
and feeling that almost squeeze.
Distracted in Math Class
All I have to do
is close my eyes
and I can feel his lips,
the way they felt
that very first time.
I can feel the heat of them,
parting just slightly,
brushing across my cheek,
moving closer
and closer still
to my mouth,
till I can hardly breathe,
hardly bear to wait
for them to press onto mine.
All I have to do
is close my eyes.
Between Classes with Dylan
We fall into step
in the crowded hall
without even glancing
at each other,
but his little finger
finds mine,
hooking us
and all the clatter
of the corridor fades away
till the only sound I can hear
is the whispering of our fingers.
In the Cafeteria
Sitting alone
with Dylan.
Eating my sandwich,
but not
tasting it.
I'm only aware of
the sparks in his eyes,
the sun in his hair
and the spot where his knee's
touching mine.
Then, over his shoulder,
I see Rachel and Grace waving at me,
grinning like pumpkins,
holding up this little sign
with "Remember us?" written on it.
In the Girls' Bathroom
"Is he a good kisser?"
Rachel asks.
"Unbelievable," I say.
And it's true.
Dylan's kisses
seem like something
much better than kissing.
It's like
I can feel them
with my whole body.
That never used to happen
when Lou kissed me.
And he's the only other boy
I've ever made out with.
"Has he tried to get to second base?"
Grace wants to know.
But the bell rings just in time.
It's Been Rachel, Grace and Me
Ever Since
That September afternoon,
when third grade had barely begun
and we were just getting
to know each other,
we skipped through
the first fallen leaves,
weaving our way through
the quiet neighborhood
to Sage Market for Häagen-Dazs bars.
That September afternoon,
when we saw the four older girls
pedaling towards us,
we didn't expect them to stop
or to leap off their bikes
and suddenly surround us.
But they did.
And we had no idea that the biggest one,
Mary Beth Butler,
who had these glinting slits for eyes,
would ask Rachel
what church she belonged to.
That September afternoon,
after Rachel mumbled, "Saint James's,"
we didn't know that Mary Beth
would ask Grace the same question,
or that Grace would squeak out,
And it's none of your business."
But she did.
And when Mary Beth asked me the question
and I said I didn't go to church
because I was Jewish,
I didn't think she'd start shouting
at Rachel and Grace,
"Don't you know you aren't supposed
to play with anyone
who doesn't go to church?"
while her friends glared
and tightened their circle around us.
That September afternoon,
when Rachel kicked Mary Beth in the shin
and the three of us
crashed through the cage of bikes,
racing off together
across the nearest lawn,
scrambling through the hedge
and into the alley,
not stopping till we
were locked safely behind
the heavy oak of Rachel's front door,
we didn't know that we'd just become
best friends.
But we had.

Privatizing Social Security to Inflate Stock Market Prices
Contents Introduction Why it was regressive to fund Social Security as an autonomous system Financial engineering vs. industrial profits and employment Social Security, forced saving and Labor Capitalism What if the stock market does boom? Will that save Social Security? Introduction This would not seem to be an auspicious time to mount a campaign to privatize Social Security. The investors who placed their pension-plan accounts and other savings in the stock market in the 1990s have found much of their gain wiped out since the downturn began in late winter 2000. Throughout the world an aversion to losing one's savings has been spreading. Last spring German citizens suffered such heavy losses gambling away their savings in 401(k)-type investment schemes that in addition to curtailing their investments, many are ...
Capital, capital everywhere – How to invest it wisely?
With oil revenues soaring, the time has come for Norway to consider how best to apply them to strengthen its economic infrastructure and policy framework to promote the nation's longer-term development. As matters now stand, the oil wealth is causing problems by making the krone a petrocurrency pricing Norwegian labor and industry out of world markets. Rather than lowering production costs by using the oil revenue to cut taxes, financial policy makers have let themselves be frightened by an unwarranted fear that tax cutting and infrastructure investment are inflationary. Indeed, by unduly burdening industry they are aggravating rather than alleviating inflationary pressure. If there is any economy today that need not tax its manufacturing, shipping and other industries out of business, ...

We are developing wireless ad hoc communication applications on windows mobile 6 devices using 802.11 in ad hoc mode. We are using HP iPAQ 910 devices and OpenNETCF smart device framework 2.3 for development.
As a design constraint, each device is represented as an SSID. If two devices want to communicate with each other, initiator switches to other device's SSID and broadcasts UDP messages. However this switching takes 4-5 seconds to complete and spending this much time might be undesirable in some cases. We were wondering whether there is a better and faster way in which two devices can communicate, something for which we can avoid switching SSIDs?
Please let us know if any more information is required. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a complete loss of interest in my job since becoming pregnant. It has become noticeable to some of my coworkers that I am unhappy at my job. I used to thoroughly enjoy my job before becoming pregnant. Is this something a lot of women go through during pregnancy? I plan to be a SAHM after the baby but I am really contemplating leaving sooner than I planned.
I have a 250.00 credit card to pay off before I can leave and would like to save up 1000.00 or so for after the baby comes so that it isn't as big of an adjustment for DF to be paying all the bills and buying diapers.
If you were unhappy at your job would you stick it out until the end of your pregnancy or would you leave after accomplishing the above goals?
I already cut my hours and I'm still not happy.

FDAHope starts it off with a level-headed statement about following Institutional Investors:
"The lists of institutions buying gems like Countrywide and Lehman when it was clear they were never going to survive was very long. Not to say that GORO is in that position, but to see positives just because institutions take a position is a bit short sighted. "
"Sambrichsanzo" puts Engynear on the hot seat for being so negative. Sam seems to come from a logic that the more negatives someone has about a topic, the less likely he will be proven correct about that topic. That is, a logic that says, if one can't even think of one positive point about a company, then this person's negative points should all be discarded. Sam asks Engynear:
"Well Engy, You have taken so many pot shots at this company that I have lost count.....Remember that I used to have a long list of your negative findings. Perhaps, if you could boil it all down to YOUR big 3 problems with GRC...a smoking gun, if you will. "
And Engynear spells out that he has a problem with a management that hypes and lies like GORO's; that cash costs are higher than quoted, and that if truly the resource were as rich as management has repeatedly stated they would be spending money on aggressive exploration.rich resource. Here's Engynear's comment:
"I'll give you an example: Management has been regaling prospective investors at investment conferences with tales of "Low Cash Costs" and "High Grade Properties".....But management also has pushed very hard, and posters to this board have repeated the mantra of how rich these properties are. Yet, for every dollar of revenue, how much do they spend to get at these rich deposits?
75 cents? 50 cents? 25 cents? Somewhere in between?
No, they are spending a whopping 4.5 cents for every dollar in sales to explore these riches."
(ed. note: the exploration expenditures were lower than the sum total of the Reids' compensation)
Engynear then asks a question for Sambrichsanzo to ponder:
"And when this reality of expenditure is coupled with the history of management hyping what the future will bring, is it any wonder that a logical person would conclude that even management does not believe the tales they are telling you about rich deposits?"
Ulf redirects the discussion back to the Institutional buying issue, with a naive, oft-repeated belief of retail investors:
"And yet, institutions have increased their positions and more want to. Why would they do that? You are indirectly saying that persons running thes institutions are in fact not logical persons? Those who have had their own people on the property and ade their own evaluations?"
(ed note to Ulf: How did more institutional investors "WANT" to increase their positions, but not actually do it? Why did they not just simply increase their positions?)

OKC Thunder: Kevin Durant picks his favorite big shots
We asked Kevin Durant to name his most memorable big shots at every level of basketball. Then, we asked him to narrow the list to his favorite five and share what he most remembers most about those.
Game-winner against Dallas
The date: Dec. 29, 2011
The play: Trailing 102-101 with 1.4 seconds remaining after allowing a go-ahead 3-pointer to Vince Carter, the Thunder inbounded the ball from the sideline with enough time for only a catch-and shoot. Guard Thabo Sefolosha inbounded the ball on the right wing to a curling Durant, who received a double screen from James Harden and Kendrick Perkins. Durant caught it, squared and fired a rhythmic 3-pointer. The ball splashed through the net as time expired, sparking pandemonium inside Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The impact: It was Durant's third buzzer-beating game-winner of his career, proving once and for all he can bury the big shot. This one gave the Thunder a 104-102 win and lifted Oklahoma City to 4-0 to start the season. Durant also finished with 30 points, marking the fourth straight game he scored at least 30. He joined Kobe Bryant as the only other player in the last 25 seasons to score at least 30 in his team's first four games.
The memory: "That was just emotional for me. I don't know why to be honest. But I gave up, essentially, the game-winner to Vince Carter and I was able to not think about that and knock that next shot down. So that was big for me and my confidence."
Game-winner against New York
The date: Jan. 22, 2011
The play: With the game tied at 98-all, the Thunder inbounded the ball from the sideline with 6.5 seconds remaining. Thabo Sefolosha threw it in to Russell Westbrook. Westbrook got it to Durant for an isolation at the top of the key on former Knicks forward Danilo Gallinari. Durant took three dribbles to his right, pulled up and shot a fadeaway 3-pointer over Gallinari from just in front of the Knicks bench. As the shot dropped, Durant calmly walked the other way as Thunder fans again erupted.
The impact: This was Durant's second buzzer-beating game-winner and the first time Oklahoma City fans got to see him be the hero. Durant's first buzzer-beating game-winner came while playing in Seattle as a rookie. He defeated the Hawks in Atlanta on Nov. 16, 2007. This shot gave the Thunder a 101-98 win and snapped a two-game Thunder losing streak.
The memory: "After so many times of trying to hit game-winners, I finally hit one. It gave me a lot of confidence as well."
3-pointer against Texas A&M
The date: Feb. 28, 2007
The play: In an instant classic, Durant drilled a shot that had Longhorns fans inside the Frank Erwin Center thinking they had won the game. Durant knocked down a 3-pointer to give Texas a 76-72 lead with 23 seconds remaining.
The impact: The shot ultimately was nothing more than a much-needed cushion. A&M hit a 3 just eight seconds later to pull within one before D.J. Augustin made two foul shots to push Texas' lead back to three. Then, A&M guard Acie Law made a miraculous 3-pointer over Durant with 1.4 seconds left to tie it and send it to overtime. Texas would need two overtimes to win it after Law hit another huge 3 late in the first overtime.
The memory: "That was kind of like, really, my first, first big-time game, big shot. Even though we still went into overtime after that, that was a big shot for me. And just the energy that was in the building after I hit that shot was second to none."
Step back on Shane Battier
The date: May 9, 2011
The play: Ahead by six with 36 seconds remaining, Durant iced the game with a cold-blooded, crossover, step-back jumper on Memphis forward Shane Battier in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals. Durant began by dribbling out some clock at the top of the key. When he went into his move, Durant crossed over to his left, then rocked Battier back to the right before quickly threading the ball behind his back and pulling up for a 19-foot jumper from the left elbow.
The impact: The shot gave the Thunder an eight-point lead with 29.3 seconds remaining. Oklahoma City held onto a 133-123 triple-overtime win in Memphis to tie the series at 2-2 and regain home-court advantage.
The memory: "Just the importance of the game. We were down in the first half. We were going to go down 3-1 if we would have lost that game. And we fought back from almost 20 down and took it to three overtimes and we were able to win that game in the playoffs. And the playoffs is the highest level of basketball."
Catch and shoot 3 at New York
The date: Feb. 20, 2010
The play: Down 105-102 with six seconds remaining at Madison Square Garden, the Thunder used Durant this time to inbound the ball to Russell Westbrook from the sideline. Westbrook took five dribbles to his right, just enough to set up action away from the ball. Nick Collison showed a fake screen on Westbrook's man before bolting toward Durant's man, Danilo Gallinari, and annihilating him with a screen at the top of the key. It freed up Durant to catch a bullet pass from Westbrook and step into a wide open straight on 3-pointer that hit nothing but net, tying the game with six seconds remaining.
The impact: The shot sent the game into overtime, where the Thunder got the go-ahead jumper from Durant with 16 seconds remaining, as well as a pair of free throws with 10 seconds left that iced it for a 121-118 Thunder win in overtime. It was the Thunder's eighth straight victory, and by finishing with 36 points Durant bumped his streak of scoring 25 or more to 27 straight games.
The memory: "Just the mecca of basketball, Madison Square Garden. And it was hype around it. T-Mac (Tracy McGrady) came back and played very well that first game he came back. And just the fact that the Garden was really jumping like it was the playoffs. That was important, too."
A look at how Kevin Durant has evolved as a crunch time scorer.
* Clutch stats are defined as production that comes in the fourth quarter or overtime, with less than five minutes left and neither team ahead by more than five points.
* Points per 48 minutes of clutch time production

Why don't you just call and ask one of their management team. Chances are Dr Victor reads this board from time to time but I would just call and ask. Its not that large of a company yet that a call would go unanswered. As I understand it, they were the ones to develop this process itself so I doubt they would leave out the patent step.
Then again this last PR release is sort of a direct challenge to others in the arena with less efficient or effective means of collection so one would assume the counter move will be to challenge validity or find fault in the claims.
If it works it would be great. It's just that there are no published case studies I can find, and I can't find the patents. I'm not saying that it does not work, the evidence is just a bit thin right now.

1. O3 Bistro & Lounge Launches Cocktail Menu: The Ozone Thai empire has added a third, more upscale restaurant to its lineup, appropriately named O3.

A Preview of Two Sisters Bar and Books in Hayes Valley

How to Get into the Best Restaurants Without Having Reservations
There's something that my husband, a longtime restaurant industry person has taught me: When going out to dinner, have no fear.
Before I met Joe, I would never in a million years have attempted to go to the most popular restaurants in town, on say, a Friday night—with no reservations. But he never thinks twice about it. His attitude is, it'll work out, and it almost always does.
Thad Vogler of Bar Agricole Speaks
A modern, undulating ride of LEED-certified design, Bar Agricole might be the most stunning tavern to ever touch down in San Francisco. The fact that the high-concept, farmcentric tavern is located on one of the most scrappy blocks of the city makes it all the more fascinating. We talked to Thad Vogler, the mad genius behind it all. Just don't call him a mixologist.
Weird Art in Bars: Gold Dust Lounge
It's not every day you find the business end of a pants-less cherub hovering over your gin and tonic. But if this is an experience you simply must add to your bar repertoire (really, you must), head to Gold Dust Lounge. Founded in 1933, this San Francisco institution seems to have handily avoided changing anything since. It still boasts the decor of a gold rush-era bordello, complete with worn red velvet, chipped gilt, and cheap booze.

"Not much except for the name..." America by ATLC
America Travel Guide: 9 reviews and 13 photos
Not much to say about this place, save for its name :-)
It was a bit difficult to make the photo because there was no parking space. I parked my car a little further down (just seen behind the road sign) but trucks and cars kept roaring by.
Ah! I see people asking if there is a story behind this. Not really. Not much more than what I said above.... although.....
that morning in the castle gardens of Kasteel Arcen (see my Kasteel Arcen page), I discovered how to work the remote thingy on my camera (you know.... you set the camera, run back to join the others and then the camera clicks away). Well, that is called a "zelfontspanner" in Dutch which literally translates to "self-relaxer". So my friend and I were joking about going to America and going to "self-relax" in front of the America road sign. The whole idea appealed mightly to our dirty minds.
Alas, there was nowhere to put the camera and traffic kept roaring past. So we had to suffice with posing alone....
Oh, and nearby is a place called California but it is so tiny it doesn't even have a road sign.
Comments (6)
America....just as you'd pictured it in your mind, right? I had no idea there was one in the NL too!
Have a very happy zelfontspanner birthday!
So funny!
Great picture! There must be a story behind this :) I come from a state with a Rome, a Syracuse and a Mexico [NY]-- and there is certainly Paris, Texas -- but you have to wonder who named this one:) Great explanation of how the pic got taken btw ;)
I can't stop laughing! Great picture! And self-relaxing explanation! Btw we have Venice (Wenecja), Roma (Rzym) and Paris (Paryz) in Poland but still no America :-))) I was in polish Venice, you inspired me to put up its page hehe :-)))
Funny pic! America looks like a pretty dead place, judging by the farms behind you...

Recently, remote user authentication schemes are implemented on elliptic curve crypto-System (ECC) to reduce the computation loads for mobile devices. However, most remote user authentication schemes on ECC are based on public-key cryptosystem, in which the Public key in the system requires the associated certificate to prove its validity. Thus, the user needs to perform additional computations to verify the certificate in these schemes. In addition, we find these schemes do not provide mutual authentication or a session key agreement between the user and the remote server. Therefore, we propose an ID-based remote mutual authentication with key agreement scheme on ECC in this paper. Moreover, we adopt multi-servers to realize the scheme's scalability. Compared with the related works, the proposed scheme is more efficient and practical for distributed or portable devices.
