The growth of cloud services for business has been a hot topic for years now, but 2012 was the year when the cloud went from market hype to mainstream deployment. Most organizations have now adopted a private cloud of some kind, but caution is preventing them from taking full advantage. Exploring the potential benefits of new tools is vital if IT departments hope to see real performance gains.
Recent Gartner research highlights the importance of digital technologies for CIOs in the coming year. Gartner's Mark McDonald described the problem succinctly, "IT needs new tools if it hopes to hunt for technology-intensive innovation and harvest raised business performance from transformed IT infrastructure, operations and applications. Without change, CIOs and IT consign themselves to tending a garden of legacy assets and responsibilities."
What Is the Problem?
As it stands we are seeing widespread adoption of private clouds that essentially act as virtualized infrastructure. That's undeniably useful, but it doesn't solve the underlying business problem which is how to accelerate the delivery of features. Features come from the application. If we really want to leverage the potential power of the private cloud then we should be working toward a setup that supports fast, cost-efficient and error-free changes to the application layer.
What we're talking about here is adding value by rolling out features internally and externally at a much quicker clip without jeopardizing the end quality. We need to go beyond infrastructure to private PaaS.
Why PaaS May Fall Short
There are quite a few PaaS solutions on the market, but many of them are not suitable for today's enterprise and there are a number of reasons for that. The majority of them run fully or mainly in the public cloud, which immediately raises security concerns. They tend to support a very limited subset of middleware and database solutions, so integration is difficult. Interoperability has not been given enough weight and that can lead to serious difficulties down the line. There's a real lack of mobility for an application deployed via a typical PaaS service right now. You may find your business locked into a cloud service platform provider.
A start-up might see the value in adopting one of these PaaS solutions because it allows them to avoid capital expenditure at the outset, but what if your business already has a large datacenter? Many enterprises will want the option to use their existing setup and they'll naturally shy away from becoming reliant on a particular vendor environment.
What Is the Goal?
What we are really looking for here is the ability to deliver the benefits of PaaS with your existing middleware environment. You need a solution that supports automated, efficient, error-free application updates. You need a system that supports auto-scaling of your runtime environment. You need a system that can deliver an end-to-end insight into your running applications and their configuration.
The aim is to free your business and your development team from the cost and complexity of managing the underlying hardware and software systems that allow you to deploy your applications. When a new feature request comes in or customer feedback leads development in a new direction, private PaaS should enable you to deliver faster than ever before and with fewer errors. An automation interface that is accessible for the team is infinitely more efficient, not to mention more cost-effective.
Working Towards Automation
Once you have a private PaaS it's important to ensure that your new features are rolled out onto the platform automatically if you want to leverage the maximum benefits from the system. Integration of your development tooling and test suites will enable your company to provide frequent, automated updates of incremental feature improvements that happen automatically.
The benefits are obvious both internally and externally. Not only can you automatically scale and manage your existing functionality as required, but you can also add new functionality without fear of introducing errors. It's easy to get a clear overview of your complete application state every step of the way.
If you can roll out new features and updates in this way then your development team can remain focused on what's important - improving the product and delivering value to its users.

On that first screen it would be great if there was a synopsis of the team match details beyond Days Per Move, Players per Team, and Rated Games.

Cairo property market to experience demand shortage of 2m residential units by 2015
'Next Move 2010' exhibition to highlight Egypt's next wave of property prospects.
April 5, 2010 11:39 by Ben Flanagan
April 05, 2010: The 2010 edition of Next Move, the largest real estate investment and finance exhibition in Egypt, will highlight numerous upcoming local property opportunities being driven by factors such as the country's rapid demographic growth, office space shortage, and an expanding middle class. The event will run from April 28 to May 1, 2010 at the Cairo International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Next Move 2010 will welcome real estate developers, financers, investors and project designers to explore opportunities within the region's most populous country and largest property market. Egypt's real estate sector is estimated to have grown by around 3.7 per cent in 2009, in spite of the global financial crisis, with the residential market offering particularly strong potential for the next decade due to the current shortage of 3 million units with additional demand for 150,000 units per year. The saturation of the high-end market is expected to open up demand from the low- to middle-income segment, which represents around 45 per cent of the population. The Cairo market in particular is highly attractive, with a demand shortage of around 2,000,000 residences foreseen by 2015.
"Egypt's property markets have been performing exceptionally well over the past two years due to steady population and business growth. Next Move is an important platform for industry stakeholders to identify opportunities, address market gaps and sustain industry growth. Its significance will be further highlighted this year as the world looks forward to the start of economic recovery and investors display greater confidence in investing into the property sector," said Ahmed Ghozzi, Chairman, ACG-ITF, one of the two co-organizers of the event.
Egypt's real estate industry is expected to perform strongly again within the next 12 months amidst expectations of continued real GDP growth, sustained interest among domestic businesses to invest, and rapidly recovering national tourism. Next Move 2010 will build on this optimism and feature key prospects within its expanded 25,000 sqm of exhibition space. The inaugural edition of the event in 2008 featured the introduction of projects with total value exceeding USD 25 billion and affirmed the strong potential of the country's property market.
"Conditions are ripe for the local property sector to take its productivity to the next level. With incentives such as exemption from capital gains taxes, lower prices and close proximity to major European travel destinations already in place, we can look forward to increased investment and financing activity. Next Move is the place to be for those planning to capitalize on the burgeoning Egyptian market," added Yasser Ghazi, Chairman, Lead Marketing Solutions.
Next Move is jointly organized by ACG-ITF, the largest exhibition organizer in Egypt, and Lead Marketing Solutions, a leading global company in project marketing. It was lauded as the largest exhibition and forum in Egypt when it accommodated 40 major developers and 20,000 visitors to 16,000 sqm of exhibition area in 2008. Last year's edition was held under the theme 'A Window to the Future' and attracted 22,612 visitors with strong interest in tourism compounds, commercial locations and administrative properties.

Labor still behind, but the smears are working
Andrew Bolt
–, Tuesday, November, 13, 2012, (6:06am)
Labor's campaign of personal destruction has succeeded:
VOTER support for Tony Abbott has dropped to its lowest level since he became Opposition Leader three years ago, as the Gillard government's relentless attacks on his character take a toll on his standing with the electorate.
Less than one third of voters, 27 per cent, are satisfied with the way the Liberal leader is doing his job, and the highest number on record, 63 per cent, are dissatisfied with his performance…
With Greens' support unchanged on 10 per cent in the last survey, the Coalition holds a narrow lead over Labor, 51 per cent to 49 per cent, on a two-party preferred basis using preference flows at the last election.
I misjudged Gillard's vile "misogyny" attack on Abbott. I thought voters would see it for what it was - a lie by a Prime Minister desperate to divert attention from her sleazy defence of a sleazy Speaker, and a divisive ploy for victimhood. But Gillard sounded strong, Abbott reacted passively, and many of the women particularly who do not really follow politics simply assumed that what Gillard said must be true - that Abbott really had been sexist to her "every day". They didn't realise how dishonest Gillard is prepared to be, or didn't care.
And now this royal commission into bad Catholics…
That said, the Coalition still leads, it has not yet fired its big guns on policy, and Labor surely cannot get a better run than its had in the past two months. Narratives eventually change. But there is is becalmed feel to the Opposition's campaign that must change. It is too reactive, and has failed to get the third-party endorsement that Labor uses so well and, being the party of the media class, can summon so easily.
Dennis Shanahan:
In one of the true ironies of modern political campaigning, a relentlessly negative and obsessive campaign is being run to portray an opponent as relentlessly negative and obsessive.
In one of the true ironies of modern political campaigning, a relentlessly negative and obsessive campaign is being run to portray an opponent as relentlessly negative and obsessive.
No more defensiveness against this. Call it out as the diversion from waste, bungling, division, deceit and - allegedly - corruption. Demand a new culture of respect, unity and progress. Go after what Gillard has protected - not least crooked unions. Stress family policy in everything, and surround Abbott with reminders of it. Make the Liberals the family party.
Have Your Say
We will never get a decently elected government if we dont revise thinking on one vote for each adult.
There are so many that simply do not have the intelligence or understanding to decide a nation's future.
For starters there should be an IQ test and language tests.
A colleague once told me that she had 5 votes because none of her family knew what it was all about.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:23am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:37am)
I bet you weren't calling for these measures when the coalition was riding high!
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:57am)
What a great idea! Take the vote away from those who are deemed to unintelligent to understand what the Right Wing MSM and propagandists like Andrew tell them to think.
Now that's true democracy.
It might backfire though.
"Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative". - John Stuart Mill.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:14am)
Has no one noticed that Abbott is being given virtually no air time these days (even footage of him speaking in Parliament)?
This is no mistake.
It enables the ALP's narrative to take hold by effectively denying Abbott a right of reply.
And once again the media show us whose side they're all on.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:25am)
This is 21st century democratic Australia, not medieval Europe or autocratic Zimababwe.
Your veil reference to migrants is distasteful. Should you check your own IQ?
No sensible people or people with decent IQ will believe your story about your colleague.
Tony will win, but not using the tactic you prescribe.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:50am)
Rather than that, the vote should be earned. Nothing given is valued, most voters don't value their vote so they don't think about it. They get their sound bites from the TV and make their decision accordingly. There is no other explanation for the worst most incompetent government in history rising in the polls.
Make people earn is, whether through military service or some other means and you will get better government. Otherwise we will soon be broke and weak.
One thing's for sure - Labor will use this Roysl Commission to their advantage in any way that they can.
Unfortunately (for them), the available evidence suggests that statistically, they'll have a lot more to be worried about from yet-to-be-revealed evidence that the RC might turn up…
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:23am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:27am)
What statistics? Please provide some evidence to back this up.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:59am)
davof ot RE Gillard will exclude Labor from the terms of reference.
How many paedophiles have turned up in Labor ranks?
The Royal Commission will work if it encompasses wide terms.
Gillard sees herself as a victim while overlooking the plight of those being abused not just here in Australia but across the World.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:59am)
Mr. Jordan
You expect davo to back up his claims with evidence?
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:15am)
What is the old saying, never hold an investigation unless you are sure of the outcome?
They might be stating now that it will be broad ranging, but make no mistake, the main focus will be on the church, because that will serve their interests best.
Saying that, it is good to see that all activities involving children are been investigated.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:20am)
A well referenced broad reaching enquiry into paedophilia is well and truly due, however, I am concerned that this might be utilised for political scoring. Already, suggestion of the Royal Commission affecting catholic Tony Abbott has been made this morning on our ABC (where else). Gillard will want to keep McTernan away from this one.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:26am)
Hey Davo, I wonder where the Heiner Affair sits in all this?
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:31am)
Agree Davo, the Royal Commission is an oh so convenient distraction UNTIL the names start coming out.
Labor seems to have forgotten its history, its long time association with the Catholic church and the number of MPs they have had in jail for eveything, including child abuse.
Gillard wouldn't be the first to find that Royal Commissions can turn around and bite you badly! Interesting days ahead.

The statistic as a percentage of ALP politicians that have been charged with child sex offenses. Their representation rate would exceed the number of the church as a base number and so yes the ALP should be ensuring to purge its ranks of those who commit these horrid crimes. You are aware of Milton O and the Queensland ALP member jailed for similar crimes. The ALP is not a clean skin in this fight.
The inquiry should look at any abuse of power be it schools, church or political to cause harm to children. It should also be encompassing DOCS as some of the stories from that area are truly frightening, especially when those children were meant to be removed from danger.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:58am)
Bolt has the same delusion as you. Both of you have a sense of reality that is so bent that all you can see in a royal commission into child sex abuse in the Catholic Church is a possible means for tony Abbott to be attacked.
No jokes, bolt even put that in writing.
It helps to add some context to this blog though.
God help the pair of you.
The reason Tony's approval is on the slide is because the electorate can see through this paper thin man. He has no vision, no gravitas, no charisma and no bloody hope of making it as leader to the next election
Standby for the blood letting...it will be great sport.
NEVER, EVER, underestimate the gullibility of your average Australian bogan!!
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:24am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:26am)
That explains why the Liberals are still ahead.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:40am)
i think the expression you seek is ...
You can never underestimate the intelligence of the average Australian bogan.
The meaning of this sentence will very likely go over their heads.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:42am)
Correct! But you forgot to include "What's that money for doing noffing, ok I'll vote for youse".
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:59am)
I am sure Costello had that in mind when he created middle class welfare in Australia.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:04am)
Reco, it's well known that bogans vote Labor,
remember it's your constituency that's made up of unionist and bludgers. It doesn't matter how much they trash the nation as long as you get your free stuff from us hard working supposed rich people.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:13am)
I'll bet that makes you chunder into your weetbix doesn't it Reco?
It says more about the average voter than it does about Abbott. Yet I am yet to meet one. I only meet people from all walks of life who want them gone. I think you will find Andrew that the silent majority have not changed their minds, she is gonsky.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:24am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:38am)
I think you have hit the jackpot: criticism of dumb voters + denial of adverse an adverse poll in just one short comment. I think you need a reality check Annie.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:21am)
"...denial of an adverse poll result"
One, PSFR?
I am watching here so that I can soon collect on my virtual bet (not you, others).
Annie, Annie, Annie: keep up the faith.
I misjudged Gillard's vile "misogyny" attack on Abbott. . . . . . And now this royal commission into bad Catholics…
But the timing is just a coincidence.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:25am)
Or, perhaps people are sick of Mr No saying nothing but no.Coalition have no policies, no plans and no idea that does not revert to what they did under Howard. Abbott is gone.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:26am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:20am)
This wisdom from an unabashed greens supporter.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:22am)
Abbott is in opposition not in government or hasn't that sunk into your thick head yet?
Seriously it is Labor that needs to come up with good policies something they just can't do.
Remember when the CO2 tax got passed all the back slapping and cheering. Labor didn't have a problem then.
Seriously you trolls have short memories. The AWU scandal isn't over Gillard has a lot to answer for here and the Coalition won't let this just go away.
Abbott isn't gone yet. Labor have a habit of stuffing things up and the voting public go ah yes these idiots again…
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:39am)
That's it Ross, I have to laugh when Bolt says they haven't fired their big policy guns, they don't have any.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:44am)
For some time, the government boasted about the amount of legislation that had been passed. Something that could not have been done without support by ther coalition. But typical stupid lefties still call Abbott "Mr No".
It's no wonder many Labor voters are happy with corrupt governments - they are incapable of independant thought.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:45am)
Don't be silly Ross, we both know that the opposition party does not release policies until just before the election.
In case you don't know, that is how politics works, if the roles were reversed Labor would do exactly the same!!!
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:46am)
RossC, what's wrong with reverting back to stable, effective, competent Government with a strong economy, high wages, low unemployment, savings and budget surpluses?
This is what most sane people want
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:55am)
The opposition's job is to oppose bad government policy. As there is nothing, with this garbage government, other than pathetically bad policy, Tony Abbott has absolutely nothing to say 'yes' to.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:01am)
MarkQ thinks the GFC will end if we an elect a Liberal government.
The Liberals will always have the idiot vote.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:09am)
what's wrong with reverting back to stable, effective, competent Government with a strong economy, high wages, low unemployment, savings and budget surpluses?
You've just described the current situation almost exactly!
Why would you want to hand over to a bunch of obvious economic illiterates???
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:27am)
Howard Policy
Who is adopting old Howard policies, and calling them their own?
You should think before you type.
Straya deserves the Proime Minster we've got.
"Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions…Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the 'new, wonderful good society' which shall now be Rome, interpreted to mean; More money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious"
~Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.)
The Strayan sheeple give below average morons a good name.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:26am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:09am)
Great post.
How right you are.
I am disappointed that we have sunk so low as a people we actually allow a decent person to be destroyed.
Tony Abbott will just have to loudly defend himself every time Gillard attacks. People want her gone. If she was doingv a good job he could be criticised but all Labor has to get into power is to destroy Abbott which just shows how effective he is and how good at his job.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:11am)
Don't you love it! The stupidity of the masses passed down to us throughout the centuries. The tragedy is that the vast populace have probably never heard of Cicero and have no idea of history or his place within it. However from a more modern time, Robert A Heinlein (apologies for the length):
"The America of my time line is a laboratory example of what can happen to democracies, what has eventually happened to all perfect democracies throughout all histories. A perfect democracy, a 'warm body' democracy in which every adult may vote and all votes count equally, has no internal feedback for self-correction. It depends solely on the wisdom and self-restraint of citizens… which is opposed by the folly and lack of self-restraint of other citizens. What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own self-interest as he sees it… which for the majority translates as 'Bread and Circuses.'
'Bread and Circuses' is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader—the barbarians enter Rome."
Im sure only 63% of the 1,600 people polled were easily swayed into answering some dumb question. We can presume half of those polled were labor voters........but seriously Andrew, can 63% of the whole country have been sucked in by her BS speech?
I'll wait for the Liberal adds to start coming out before the election.......or for Gillard's non response to her corrupt background to start biting........then there's Swan, our genius Treasurer and our squeaky clean, dopey Attorney General.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:28am)
Unfortunately the stupid, the lazy and the gullible must vote.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:29am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:30am)
If the stupid,lazy and gullible didn't vote the Libs would fail to win a single seat.
Why else do you think Howard labeled the educated(economists and university professors) the "elites"?
Because he knew that his dimwitted supporters HATED them.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:57am)
Just because you are educated does not mean you are smart,Julia Gillard proves that and Swan is not even worth mentioning and Roxon , what a superb intelligence she has, shows how Labor has dumbed down the school system.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:01am)
"If the stupid,lazy and gullible didn't vote the Libs would fail to win a single seat."
Wow! Says the ever-hysterical Reco in the face of the most appalling corruption charges levelled at Reco's side of politics.
"Because he knew that his dimwitted supporters HATED them."
Quite the contrary.
It is the 'elites' who do by far the most hating, and the leftwing 'elites' in particular (Lenin, anyone? Terror, anyone?).
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:16am)
Reco, if you actually walked outside your public service office & talked to real people you would find and old saying that sums up your above tripe.
"Those who can't teach", just because so called professors and their ilk have been hidden away in some obscure university for years does NOT mean they are smart.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:18am)
Petulant and pathetic, that sums you up Reco. I'm sure we'd all be very interested in your academic achievements, so why don't you tell us? You are always belittling non-Labour rabble supporters as intellectually inferior so go on, bedazzle us with your record of attainment.
I am challenging you, so don't try to weasel out of the question.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:34am)
And yet reco, who is more likely to vote labor?
Welfare recipients, low paid workers, union members on advice of their unions.
People who want it all for free, and want somebody else to pay for it.
Oh and get another strategy, simply saying, no you are, doesn't work, and sounds childish.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:34am)
Hmmm Reco,
Labor loves all unemployed and unemployable hates all those the educated people smart enough to make millions. Educated lefties at Universities and in government paid or subsidised positions are acceptable though.
Strange isn't it - Those that Labor love and love Labor are mainly after something for free.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:59am)
Now children, both of you stop the silly name calling. And that means you to young and naive Julia.
If you compare the selfless communal contributions made be each party the tragedy of the average voter's stupidity comes into focus. To compare Gillard to Abbott is shameful.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:29am)
I am stunned at these results.
1. Tony Abbott seems like a goood person to me
2. Julia Gillard is a disaster.
Are the people of Australia really this stupid.
I cannot believe despite this, that Julia Gillard can/will win the next election.
The MSM is pathetic.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:32am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:40am)
You have to question the mindset of those people who were polled that find this govt and PM as a better person, I think it shows just how uninformed most of them are and they only see or hear the utube type stuff, plus they have a fair percentage of compliant media who push their rubbish, so until the election is called and the ads showing Labor for what they are start, Labor will continue to use all the spin, dirt, smear, lies they can to get good polls.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:49am)
Maybe Tony Abbott needs to shuffle his front bench a little. Maybe swap Hockey and Turnbull, Turnbull has more attention and sway with the electorate!!
I also think it's time to take off the gloves and start fighting dirty just like Gillard is!!
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:05am)
The MSM is pathetic.
Why? Because they've failed in their efforts to convince the voting public that Abbott and this appalling opposition is in some way worthy of being the government.
Perhaps they've failed because the voting public isn't as stupid as they assumed (Righties excepted of course).
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:16am)
The MSM have much for which to answer.
Decent journalists would refuse to go along with Gillard's vile attacks and do so while the majority are foolish and fear her, she has already destroyed careers of journalists who wanted to do their job and so we are left with those she controls and in doing so controls what information we are fed.
Dangerosu times indeed.
I think you are mistaking the cause of dissatisfaction with Tony Abbott. It's not about sexism it's about not fighting back against Labor's spin.He needs to start attacking, a good place to start would be union corruption.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:32am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:32am)
I'm sure you're right. People are so upset about not fighting Labor's spin they have decided to ... vote Labor.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:55am)
To some extent, I agree.
Yet, there are those who don't like him...Abbott...because of his style of walking!
Similarly, there were those who wouldn't vote for Costello, they said, because of his facial expression!
I'm female and supposed to loathe Tony Abbott but I don't. I see a good family man who is being smeared by a rotten low grubby government. My advice to Tony Abbott is to FIGHT BACK.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:33am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:31am)
suse, I completely agree with your comments. Tony should come out swinging and in due course he will. You have to remember that Labor appeal to people similar to themselves. Says it all really. I have just listened to Mike Smith on his web page and he has stated that Tony Abbott is a lovely bloke. He is going to put up some bookie stats today on his site which he states tells a very different story about Tony's popularity. It is us, the quiet ones, the silent majority who will sweep Tony Abbott into power. What a great PM he is going to make.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:15am)
Either Abbott is worried there is more past stuff with which to hit him or the Party policy is to lie low and weather the storm. If it is the latter it is past time to retaliate in the fiercest but most gentlemanly way possible. Take a few tips from Amanda Vanstone - I would like her on my side in any fight!
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:17am)
Right on.
Time for a we love Abbott bumper sticker?
Yes well we'll see what this RC will bring. In the meantime, on Gillard's Facebook page, Abbott is being blamed for the actions of those in the Catholic Church.
Interesting that Gillard decided to have a RC beginning in 2013, an election year, and not prior to 2013, ah but then she hadn't as yet employed McTernan.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:36am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:41am)
The RC will take years, it wont be finished before the election.
Andrew wonder how long it will take the dirty Labor Party machine to bring up that Tony Abbot is a Catholic and once studied for the pristhood.I am a women and cannot believe the attacks on Abbot, a man with morals, married to a strong women, 3 daughters, he is surrounded by strong women in the Opposition with very senior positions, his staff is full of females, he is also a man who gives an enormous mount of his time to do voluntary work for the community, when have I ever read about Gillard doing voluntary work for her community NEVER.I am beginning to wonder about the brain power of my own sex believing this nonsense put out by the Labor machine
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:39am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:03am)
In the very left leaning Courier Mail there was a letter published by a woman last week stating what a wonderful role model J Gillard is for her daughter.What sort of woman could possibly write something like that in this day and age? No need to detail Julias shortcomings on this site but the C Mail is becoming unreadable.
Ever seen that episode of the Simpsons, where Homer becomes a boxer - his strategy was to let his opponent punch him until they got tired and fell over - remind you of anyone?
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:40am)
It is NOT smear, it is the journalists doing it who sensationalize anything they like without any accountability. I doubt that these polls ever capture the real mood of the people. But they have the capacity to propagate what they want to propagate, and in the end influence unsuspecting people. Unfortunately most journalists and opinion columnists do this for their living.
In the meantime - when it comes to milking commoners, labor and Liberal governments are all similar. Andrew will not talk about this.

Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:44am)
All the lies told about Tony Abbott sound just so unreal to those of us living in his electorate and see him and his family going about their daily lives.
What are we to do to counteract these lies? McTiernan has certainly added sophistication but he had a ready team of helpers in Prime Minister Gillard, Roxon, Wong, Plibersek, Ellis, Lundy, etc., and other members of Emily's List.
Then I find my own sister falling for all the spin from Fran Kelly & Michelle Grattan each morning on Radio National. Nettie mentioned this yesterday.
It has certainly worked, but now let me remind everyone that these words are coming from a woman whose standards are at the bottom of the barrell. If she is to call Tony Abbot (and all men) misogynists, then there are plenty of words which we can call her.
Then what about twitter?
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:47am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:23am)
No matter what journalists write of Gillard the people do have many names for her.
Sadly we are preaching to the converted here.
I am concerned that voters may be gullible.
Abbott is a major threat to Gillard labor because he so effective Labor want to destroy him, they cannot stand on their achievements as they have none.
or to put it another way, Abbott is being 'exposed' for being relentlessly negative and obsessive, the electorate are seeing him for what he is and they don't like what they see.
I mean seriously, apart from the opposite of whatever Labor says, what does Abbott stand for? Does he even have any policies that aren't a knee-jerk reaction to a Labor policy and even then does he even bother to cost anything?
Abbott often says his job as the Leader of the Opposition is to oppose [everything]. Isn't he also supposed to 'lead' or just follow whatever the Prime Minister says and do the opposite? Truth is, we don't know what Abbott will do if he ever forms a Government, probably sit on his hands and do nothing like Ballieu.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (06:53am)
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:57am)
We are in the 'dead zone', a year out from an election and the opposition won't release much policy until the election campaign so they only have empty opposition and relentless negativity to offer. All oppositions go through this but it will be forgotten when the election is announced.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:04am)
He stands for decency and community involvement, he stands for getting out and doing the practical things in the country not just empty words, maybe he is not the most "charismatic" leader of the opposition, but unfortunately as was said during the Obama campaign "what does it matter if the economy and the country is going down the toilet as long as we have a "cool" president. Are Australians so shallow as to think that a "cool female" Prime Minister will save this country from economic disaster, if China's economy falters we are in deep trouble.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:08am)
There is truth in what you say
Tue 13 Nov 12 (09:38am)
Yeh sure, 'negative and obsessive'
He should be saying....
1. Labor's immigration policies are working well. The boats have stopped.
2. The NBN is on budget and on target
3. The MRRT is a well designed tax that will generate much needed revenue
4. Ther surplus will not only be delivered but exceeded after all Swan has exceeded every budget forecast to date
etc. etc.
Of course then he would be just as much a liar as Julia Gillard but who cares, he would be oh so 'positive and conciliatory'!
Can you give us an example of an opposition leader that set the example you like? Keating? Rudd? Whitlam? Anyone?
I am not sure you have it right now. I think Tony needs to go back on the attack, I understand the desire to take a break but he was most successful when he ignored her foolishness and went for the govornment's incompetence and total lack of moral guidance. At the current popularity he is disappointing 50% of those who would vote for him.
Let Tony refresh and then just when Gillard gets tired of her latest fad he should go back on the attack and those who really love the country just stop whining about what Tony isn't doing and ask the hard questions about who you trust, a man who has proven time and again that he has the courage to fight for this country or a woman that confects a war on women because she lacks the courage to fight enemies that would really fight back.

What We Talk About When We Talk About Love Bugs
While it is fun to pick on Microsoft about the love bug virus, those of us in the Linux community should ask ourselves: are we clean? The answer is: not at all. We are just a combination of not having a high enough visibility and pure luck. The visibility issue has to do with the fact that if you are going to write a virus, then writing it for MS-Windows is the best target. There are just more of those systems out there.
The other part of the story is that the average MS-Windows user doesn't know what a computer is. The average MS-Windows user just knows that he or she can write letters and, most importantly, do e-mail. Their MS-Windows system is configured so that the type of e-mail attachment is identified and the appropriate action is taken. One choice may be to execute a program that is written, say, in Visual Basic.
Now, let's say that Linux has won the desktop war, thus making Linux the best (as in most popular) target for viruses. And, just to make things a little better (or more portable), let's say all those users have their systems configured so that attachments in Java are executed automatically.
Would it take a lot of work to find everything that looked like an e-mail address in the user's mail or Mail subdirectory? How about removing all files in their home directory and subdirectories that ended with .jpg and .gif? I think not.
We are being so smug talking about systems being secure because we have user IDs and file permissions, because sendmail can screen messages and so forth. Well, we can be secure, but at the cost of making it harder for users to do their work. We could--and probably should--make every user manually deal with attachments. We could configure sendmail to screen incoming mail for various patterns. We could do a lot of things.
Fundamentally, what happened with the love bug virus was that MS-Windows systems were configured to offer insecure capabilities to its users. Specifically, the ability to point and click to execute code. If, even using the mime.types file, the average Linux desktop was configured to execute a program (Java, Tcl, binary ...), the Linux system is in the same situation.
If Linux was the #1 desktop, then Linux would become the optimal target for such a virus. Why write something that could only attack 1% of the computers available when, with the same effort, you could make it attack-capable on 90%?
We could brag about running as a user vs. root, but again, that wasn't an issue. This virus looked in the user's address book (something that Pine, Elm and Mutt all have) and deleted files in the user's directory.
We are Linux people. If we succeed in world domination, we will be the target. Clearly, it is time for us to work on some innovation.

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

Pacific Island judges attend intensive law training
Fifteen Pacific Island judges were in Honolulu during July 19–25 for a week of intensive training at the William S. Richardson School of Law as part of the Pacific Islands Legal Institute administered by the Ninth Circuit Pacific Islands Committee.
The committee is composed of federal judges of the Judicial Council of the Ninth Circuit, headquartered in San Francisco.
This specialized program—financed by the U.S. Department of the Interior—is designed to provide legal training to Pacific Island judges who do not have law degrees. In several Pacific jurisdictions prominent community members sit as judges, but they may not have legal backgrounds.
As part of the institute, the judges received training in the rules of evidence taught by UH Mānoa Law Professor John Barkai, and they also visited courtrooms in Hawaiʻi. The Institute has been organized by the Ninth Circuit's Pacific Islands Committee chaired by The Honorable Consuelo B. Marshall, who was also in attendance.
"The judges come from Palau, American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands," said Minara Moredecai, director of special projects for Richardson Law School. "The judges never had a chance to attend law school so this training is intended to help them learn together, and strengthen the rule of law in the Pacific."

Caterra nightmare
I wish I would have seen this forum before I bought this car but now I'm stuck. Here's my scenario:
Lady had a 2000 Caterra that had been sitting for awhile because her Dad past away. Has 157,000 and she
told me that it needed a valve cover gasket. Went and took it for a test spin and the car started and ran great.
When I got back there was some smoke rolling off the engine which I contributed to the blown valve cover gasket.
I picked the car up the following weekend, stopped by a couple stores on my way home and had no issues with car
starting. Following morning drove it to the store with no problem. Car sat for basically 2 1/2 days and I got in
it to take over to the mechanic who was going to change my valve gasket and that's when my nightmare begins.
The car would start but then would die immediately. It's got plenty of gas, a brand new air filter, we even checked the
fuel pressure from the rail and it's seems to be getting plenty. My dilemma is, after reading all these posts and threads
from other Caterra owners I really don't know where to start. I mean is there anyway to tell if the Crank Position Sensor or
the Camshaft Position Sensor is bad before I start spending $50-$60 bucks on nonreturnable electrical parts. I mean, I saw
some other scenarios where you guys have thought it was either the fuel pump or even the a/c serpentine thing. The fact
that it starts and then dies has me baffled. It's like something is kicking it off. I even did the reset thing with the ignition
key thinking it might be the security deal I've seen other people have trouble with. I rented one of those diagnostic testers
from Autozone, plugged it in to the computer and every time it came back; "No error codes found". Man, if anyone has any
ideas on how to proceed, aside from parking it in the bottom of a lake, I would be very grateful. I mean when I test drove the
car it seams like a pretty fun, sporty vehicle with excellent handling.
CKPs don't always set codes, but it's odd that you didn't at least get a stall code. I would try a different scan tool to be sure.
How much fuel pressure is it putting out?
U can order parts online that what I do. Its save u tons of money. Go to rockauto.com or to ebay. U can find sensor there for $30. When mine went out I didnt have codes

Re: Caterra nightmare
How long was the car sitting? Is it possible that there is water moisture in the tank that has worked its way to the engine? Possible CKP, but huge coincidence if it was just running fine.

Re: Caterra nightmarecar it seams like a pretty fun, sporty vehicle with excellent handling.
That said, the car is excellent for cruising the interstate. Smooth ride, quiet, nice climate control, excellent sound system, and average gas mileage.
That may be the nicest thing you've ever posted Kaustein. Lol.

Sometimes its just plain bashing us and our cars. Making us feel like we've made bad decisions buying them. When not all problem have happened to everybody and every car made .
If your car have over 120000miles.
Your front horizontal bushings need to be replaced automatically! !!!! They might look good but its not!!!!!! My bushings was look just fine even verticals, after I replaced them, differents was tremendously! !!

"Agenda 2030 - Berlin makes future. Innovation and digital transformation as an engine for sustainable development". This year's Zukunftstour took place in Berlin on April 21, 2016 at Radialsystem. The Minister for Development, Dr. Gerd Müller, launched the Zukunftscharta in 2014, to raise awareness for the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals which were defined in 2015.
The GTO presented its education programme "Toiletised World" as part of the Global Learning aspect of the event. Participants played an entertaining and exciting toilet memory game to learn about cultural diversity and the various types of toilets around the world. Additionally, the visitors engaged in the Sanitation-is Dignity campaign and were photographed with their "revolootionary" message at the photo booth. On the information board they could deepen their knowledge about the sanitation crisis.

On the occasion of International Women's Day March 8, 2016 Berlin pupils and the German Toilet Organization (GTO) staged an unexpected scene at the Washington Square in front of Berlin Central Station. In the focus of the flashmob were two toilet stalls, one for women, and one for men. With a disproportionately long queue in front of the ladies - a well-known image - the pupils drew attention to the lack of gender equality in front of the loo.
Pupils of the Ruetli School in Berlin-Neukoelln and Fritz-Reuter-School from Berlin-Hohenschoenhausen participated in the project. The project is financially supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and Landesstelle für Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (LEZ) by the State of Berlin. ECOtoiletten kindly provided toilets. CWS-boco is a long term supporter of this and other GTO projects.
February 03,2016
The Advanced Seminar: Sustainable Sanitation in Developing and Emerging Countries was held in Karlsruhe on 29th to 30th of January 2016
Participants were given a deeper insight into sanitary technologies, non-technical accompanying measures, current approaches to planning and project examples. In group work and discussions, the participants were able to apply acquired knowledge and learned from the experiences of the other participants.
Thanks to everyone for their participation and sharing their personal experiences.
Engenieers Without Borders were so kind to support the GTO logistically on site.
The seminar was sponsored by ENGAGEMENT GLOBAL on behalf of BMZ.
January 20,2016
From 15th to 16th of January our seminar on sustainable sanitation in emergencies and reconstruction situations took place in Muenster.
The topics included basics about sanitation in emergency assistance, operation and maintenance of different sanitation solutions, socio-cultural aspects as well as special features and importance of hygiene promotion.
Our agenda was enriched by exciting reports of Michael Wolf (Austrian Red Cross) who gave the participants a practical inside view to the field of sanitation and hygiene promotion in emergencies (Philippines, Haiti).
Many thanks to all participants for their motivated group works, their interesting inputs and suggestions as well as to the regional group of Engineers Without Borders Muenster helping out with the organisational part.
The seminar was funded by Engagement Global on behalf of Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
November 24, 2015
The WASH e-paper #4 on the topic of building and operating sanitary facilities in refugee accommodation in Germany is now online.

On the occasion of the World Toilet Day on Nov 19, the GTO celebrated the day with a Flashmob at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. The event is part of the project Toiletised World and students of Rütli-school Neukölln.
This year, World Toilet Day is focusing on the link between sanitation and nutrition drawing the world's attention to the importance of toilets in supporting better nutrition and improved health.
With kind support of Engagement Global on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and of the Landesstelle für Entwicklungszusammenarbeit Berlin. We also thank CWS-boco for their great support.
November 16, 2015
The GTO has again successfully been part of the 16th Berlin Development Education Program (BENBI), which took place between the 09th and 13th of November. This year was all under the theme "future rich worlds - How do we meet abundance and lack".
In fourteen workshops of 90 minutes each pupils of all ages were confronted with the subject "Whether rich or poor - on the toilet, we are all equal".
Through interactive theater, still images and games, the issue was discussed, how something being regarded as so fundamental as a clean toilet, on a global scale can be considered as luxury and what options are available to address these abuses.
Toilet Ahoy!
November 04, 2015
The German WASH-Network – an alliance of 19 German NGOs – is inviting to an international conference on the nexus between WASH and nutrition security in the city of Bonn, Germany in November 2015. (For more detailed information on the concept, speakers, registration etc. please also click the tabs above.)
Mirror Sessions as an Entry Point
Overcoming malnutrition is a great challenge that will require true collaboration between the WASH and nutrition sectors. The main aim of the forum is to bring together the relevant experts from both sectors. The forum intends to allow for an effective mix of thematic inputs and discussions during so-called "mirror sessions". Here, relevant sector professionals in similar positions from both the WASH and Nutrition sector will be asked to present their work/perspective. Hearing about the other respective sector, allows for reflection of one's own work (hence "mirror") and inspires further discussion with other experts and participants on complementarity and collaboration between the sectors and the identification of joint indicators. Aim is to come up with a concrete set of recommendations, next steps and commitments in terms of viable operational approaches, research, policy and advocacy issues to lead to a more integrated approach for tackling undernutrition and stunting.
Experts Inspire Discussion
Beyond the mirror session renowned speakers will inspire outcome-oriented discussion, hereby helping the participants to a) assess the latest scientific evidence, b) define strategies and operational solutions and c) develop strategies to integrate the nexus into development and humanitarian policies.
The preparatory process for this conference was launched at the WASH-Zukunftsforum in November 2014 followed by a seminar at Stockholm World Water Week 2015. Following the spirit of Germany´s Zukunftscharta, German civil society and the federal government are working closely together to move the issue up on the international development as well as the humanitarian agendas. Supported by the United Nations Secretary General's Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation (UNSGAB) via its Chair, Dr. Uschi Eid, the conference will be a key contribution to the UN World Toilet Day 2015, which has "Toilets and Nutrition" as its priority theme this year.

The first two 'Regional WASH Workshops to Strengthen Humanitarian Preparedness and Response Capacity' took place in Bangkok, Thailand from September 07 – 11 and in Kampala, Uganda from October 05-10.
The workshops facilitated a vital knowledge exchange between the participants and with key actors of the humanitarian WASH system like UNHCR and UNICEF.
The German Toilet Organization was responsible for moderating and facilitating the workshop. Thanks to Malteser International and Arche Nova for carrying out the organisational and logistical part.
The workshop is part of the strategic portfolio of activities developed and carried out in close cooperation with the German Federal Foreign Office to respond to the growing demand for qualified humanitarian WASH capacities.

Last weekend, September 12&13, 2015, we had the chance to be part of "Der Grüne Kiez" (The green district) at the Lollapalooza Festival in Berlin. It is a sustainable theme park in which non-profit organizations and initiatives could present their work and projects. We had the booth next to our friends from arche nova, Viva con agua and EcoToilets. Our Tippy Tap handwashing construction was used very frequently! Good job! We got lots of positive feedback regarding our work and people could make a statement referring to the sanitary crisis in the world. Please see the pics below. A big thanks goes out to Dominik, Franzi, Hilde, Svenja, Laura, Klaus und Sabine for their great commitement before, at and after the festival.
You think we do our job well and you like to support us? Please donate easyly via Betterplace.
