Several free and open source tools are available to create word lists that can be used for brute-force attacks to obtain passwords of social network users. They include:
>> Custom Word List Generator: Security researcher Robin Wood created CeWL as a way to create a custom word list based on spidering a Web site. This functionality is perfect for quickly determining unique words on a social network profile. CeWL is available for download from Wood's Web site, in the Samurai Web Testing Framework, and within the popular BackTrack 4 penetration testing distribution.
>> RSMangler: Robin Wood's RSMangler complements word-list-generating utilities like CeWL. It takes a word list and generates mangled combinations and manipulations of those words. For example, from "tom, eston, social" RSMangler would output: tomeston, tomsocial, estontom, socialeston, socialtom. It can be downloaded from the RandomStorm site.
>> Associative Word List Generator: This site generates word lists based on search terms that are queried from the Web site using typical search engine techniques. For example, if you search for "tom, eston, agent0x0, zombies, spylogic, security, justice," AWLG will search the Internet for those terms and give you back a listing of relevant keywords.
>> Common Users Password Profiler: Muris Kurgas created this word-list-generation script that uses information gathered online to answer a series of questions CUPP asks. Based on those answers, CUPP generates a custom word list. This tool can be quite handy if an attacker has already found out significant information about a potential victim from a social network profile. CUPP is preinstalled in the BackTrack 4 penetration testing distribution.
>> Userpass.py Script: Created by Mark Baggett, this script automatically generates customized word lists for specific targets. For example, a Google search is launched to find LinkedIn profiles of employees at a target company. Then the script spiders any Web sites found in a user's LinkedIn profile. It pulls the user's profile picture and checks a Web site called "tineye" to determine if the picture matches others on the Internet. If it does, those sites are spidered for keyword information. Finally, all the spidered sites are run through CeWL to generate custom word lists. Userpass.py script can be downloaded from the PaulDotCom Web site.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

I used to play all the time and was very good but went several years without playing then started missing it and that's why I got this app for the training part. I forgot so much and want to practice before playing a real game. I appreciate having that option and look forward to playing real games once I've gotten better again. It's a very good app.

"Hey, Clara! Catch!"
Clara whipped her head around, copper hair following, just in time to have a balled up page of "The Art of Potion Making" hit her square on the nose."Ouch!" She rubbed the spot, and, picking up the ball on the floor, gleefully threw the projectile back at her friend Geoffrey. He pushed his messy brown mop out of his eyes and put his hands in front of his face. The ball fell harmlessly to the floor. He blew another strand of hair away from his mouth, laughing all the while,
"Take it easy, Clar, I was only fooling!" Clara grinned, her sea-green eyes twinkling merrily.
"I know, mate, but if a girl can't throw stuff at her best mate, who can she, then?" Geoffrey returned the smile. He snatched the crumpled paper up off the grimy dungeon floor, and was just about to return the favor when light but determined footsteps were heard approaching the door. Everyone immediately quieted down. No one wanted to be silenced by Snape. He didn't just say a simple "Hush!", mind walked in with his dark robes billowing behind him.
The look on his face told everyone that they would be sorry if they crossed him today. Of course, he had that same look everyday. He pulled out his wand and began using it to scrawl on the board: September 27, 1981It had been exactly one year since Clara's father had been murdered by Death Eaters while working alongside Aurors as a Curse Detector. It had been his job to look for specially designed curses and traps that most Aurors couldn't pick out, even with their advanced training. Clara had been so proud of her father when he first got the job. But, none of that mattered now. He had wandered off by himself in the field, away from the watchful eyes of the Aurors assigned to keep track of him.
They saw the flash of green light, and came running to find Andrew Kennsey, glasses askew, staring up at them. Seeing nothing. The Aurors had done a thorough investigation, but, after several months, came up empty handed. They deemed the cause to be accidental, maybe a counter curse gone awry or a faulty trap. Clara and her mother had been devastated. They still were. However, Clara's mother had simply decided to forget the event had ever happened and go on with her life. Clara, though, hadn't. She wouldn't forget. Ever.
She vowed the day that the Ministry of Magic closed the case on her father that she would find his killer and bring him to justice. Even if that meant she had to be judge, jury, and shook her head clear of the thoughts, and looked up at the board. Snape had only just finished summarizing a crucial paragraph of the chapter "Paying Attention To Your Potion".
He suddenly had his eyes on Clara."Have you written any of this down, Miss Kennsey?" Clara gulped.
"Well, Professor, my, er...quill had been malfunctioning today, and I-" He sneered. "It would seem that your brain has alsoceased to function as well, hmm?" A couple of Slytherins towards the back snickered quietly. Snape's attention quickly went to them.
"That will be 2 points from Slytherin for your cheek, Mr. Stradton." The red faced boy stood, mouth agape.
"But, Professor--" Snape gave him a look, and the boy sat back down with a huff. Clara was shocked. TheProfessor Snape, tormentor of Gryffindors ever since he started teaching at Hogwarts a few weeks ago, and generally not nice person who acted like they had a wand up their--
"Miss Kennsey, I have been asking you a question for the last minute. Are you daft?" Clara blushed.
"No, Professor, I was only--" Snape's mouth was set in a grim line.
"What is the key to successful Potion making?" He said this in a slow, mocking way, the sort of way that you would talk to a small child who doesn't know a Hippogriff from a gnome. Clara sighed. She didn't know.
"I'm afraid I don't know, Professor Snape." Snape's eyebrows rose.
"Isn't thata surprise, class?" There was a smattering of laughter, mostly on the Slytherin side of the room. Two rows over, Geoffrey clenched his fist in anger. He hated it when Snape did this to Clara. He seemed to be out to get her every class.
Snape turned back to board, saying, "Well, then. Silently read Chapter 47 on the dangers of overheating your potion." Clara was fuming. Biting her lip, she muttered,
"Maybe if you weren't such a rotten teacher, I could learn something," ;she said this louder than intended.
Snape slowly placed his wand back on the table; he had been in the middle of writing the chapter title on the board. He glared at Clara, who, confused, whispered to Geoffrey.
"What did I do?" Geoffrey gave her a pitying look.
"He heard you. We all did." Clara noticed the whole class was staring at her. Yeah, thought Clara, they're probably all thinking what unimaginable horrors that leech is going to put me through. He can't do anything, I'm a student--Snape approached her desk with a deadliness that made her heart catch in her throat.
"You are to come to this dungeon for detention this Thursday, Miss Kennsey." Clara breathed again. That wasn't so bad, she supposed. She didn't even have to miss Geoffrey's birthday party Friday night--
"And every Thursday after that, until the year is over. Maybe you will learn a little better from more intensive Potion classes." Clara blinked. She must be dreaming.
"No, Professor, I can't--" The corner of Snape's mouth twitched, as if it wasn't used to being this close to a genuine smile in a long time. The next time he spoke, it sounded like the oily snake had finally crawled partway out of Snape's mouth to show itself.
"That's final, or I'll dock a hundred points from your house, Miss Kennsey." The Gryffindors in the room gasped. Clara knew she had no other option. She raised her eyes up to meet Snape's.

Czech Central Bank Sees 2013 Deficit Less Than Government
The Czech central bank forecasts the public-finance deficit to be less than the government's target next year even as it expects weaker economic growth than the Finance Ministry.
The Ceska Narodni Banka in Prague sees the shortfall at 2.6 percent of economic output in 2013, compared with the government's target of 2.9 percent, according to the bank's quarterly Inflation Report published on its website today. The central bank sees gross domestic product growth of 0.2 percent next year, less than the Finance Ministry's forecast for a 0.7 percent expansion.

Linguine with White Clam Sauce
By Hank Shaw on May 30, 2016 | 4 Responses
Growing up in New Jersey, this classic Italian-American pasta dish was one of my favorites: Linguini or spaghetti with white clam sauce. Clams, herbs, olive oil and lotsa garlic! I make this normally with West Coast littleneck clams, but lots of different clams will work.

EDIT 9/26/2011: Still looking for an answer, if you have any ideas please post and let me know!
Summary of problem
When I run Get-EventLog against my own computer or a nearby computer, I don't see anything unusual and everything works as expected.
When I run it against a computer that is further away (average ping of
108ms) it starts to act in a way that I wouldn't expect. There is a long pause between each event that is returned, and it takes an excessively long time to complete.
Here is the command I am using:
Get-EventLog -ComputerName [computername] -LogName Application -newest 100
I would expect the command to gather all the information on the remote computer and then send it back to me in one bunch, but it doesn't seem to be doing this.
When I execute the command normally and use something like online-stopwatch for rough measurements, the result is about 4 minutes and 3 seconds.
When I measure it using:
Measure-Command {Get-EventLog -ComputerName yanhong03 -LogName Application -newest 100}
The result is about 31 seconds (but none of the information is printed out).
So, two questions:
- Why are events (seemingly) retrieved one at a time?
- Why is using Measure-Command actually changing the amount of time the command takes to finish?
Miscellaneous Details:
I am running powershell v2, and am using the shell in the Powershell ISE for executing these commands. OS is Windows XP.

Maria Mater Misericordiae
¨Raised to the heavens, Mary remains for the human race an unconquered rampart, interceding for us before her Son and God.¨
– Theoteknos of Linas, 7th Century
Today I had the opportunity to visit Maria, Mater Misericordiae, an amazing art exhibition at the Muzeum Narodowy (National Museum) in Krakow. Planned in conjunction with World Youth Day and the Jubilee Year of Mercy, this special display showcases an eclectic assortment of medieval and early modern art collected from around Europe. The display was organized thematically, dividing the pieces into three main groups: one section focused on the Madonna nursing the Child Jesus (Galaktotrophousa) and Mary as Virgin of Tenderness (Theotokos Eleousa), a second area focused on images of Mary holding the body of Christ after the Crucifixion (Pieta), and a final section focused on Maria Orans, the assumed Mary in heaven who prays for her people and, in later medieval art, embraces us all under her mantle.
While I enjoyed the whole exhibit, I must admit that the second and third sections were the ones that resonated most strongly. Images of Madonna and Child have always somewhat problematic for me. Like many other women raised in the Catholic Church, I was taught from childhood that Mary is the feminine ideal on which I should model my own character. However, as I grew older, I found this model exceedingly hard to follow (it is, after all, exceedingly difficult for the vast majority of women to simultaneously be a virgin and mother). As the cult of Mary developed throughout the Middle Ages, theological discussions about the nature of Mary´s body abounded. Alas, it is hardly a normal female body. The medieval Mary is permitted to lactate and nurse but not to menstruate, and ultimately, the belief in the Assumption (which dates from at least the 4th century but was not dogmatically defined until 1950) exempts her from one of the most universal human physical characteristics: physical death. How am I, a physically embodied human woman, supposed to take Mary as a model for my life?
I know I am not the only Catholic woman to face this problem, but thankfully, contemporary Catholic theology of Mary has started to offer a solution. In Truly Our Sister, a book-length study of Mariology, theologian Elizabeth Johnson makes the case that the legacy of this medieval cult has led us to misunderstand the mother of Jesus. By embodying Mary with divine qualities and elevating her to the level of a mother goddess, we have succumbed to a confusion of categories. We have forgotten that God is essentially neither male or female; indeed, the Bible abounds with feminine images of God as well as masculine ones. By reminding ourselves of God´s nature – a nature that transcends gender – we can allow Mary to come down from her pedestal as an embodiment of the divine feminine. In this way, she is free to reclaim her place in the Communion of Saints.
If we look at Mary as she is portrayed in the Gospels, we see a figure who courageously risked public shame and even death when she said ¨yes¨ to the angel Gabriel´s offer to become the Mother of Jesus. She gave birth under very harsh conditions with only the poor for company, became a refugee in Africa when she learned that her son´s life was in danger, trusted in Jesus´ authority and urged him to begin his ministry at Cana; watched as he was publicly executed for crimes he had not committed, and then becoming one of the first leaders of his mission after the Resurrection.
Looking at this Mary, we see a woman who is faithful, brave, compassionate, authoritative, and thirsty for justice. In this light, her physical characteristics are not nearly as important as her spiritual ones – character traits which all of us, male and female, can seek to develop in our lives as Christians. And, it is clear that medieval artists, though eager to elevate Mary to a divine level, did not forget these divinely-given human characteristics. For me, Mary´s humanity became most evident in the Pieta images, which show Mary´s very human grief at losing her son (for what sorrow is greater than that of losing a child?)
But, ironically, it also became evident in the Maria Orans images, which of course are based not on Scipture but church tradition. As I looked at such images as Barnaba de Modena´s Madonna of Mercy (1375), Francisco de Zurbarán y Salazar´s The Rosary Madonna Adored by the Carthusians (1638-1639) and Albrecht Durer´s Life of the Virgin (1511), I was again and again presented with images of Mary as a compassionate, courageous member of the Communion of Saints. Though dwelling in heaven, she is consistently concerned for her people, holding them under her mantle and binding them together through the rosary – that beautiful prayer which is perhaps the greatest gift that Marian tradition has given us.
Over the past weeks, it feels like the world has been unravelling. With intermittent access to the news, I have heard only in passing of increased race-based tension and violence in the US, racist incidents in the UK following the Brexit decision, the Bastille Day terrorist attacks in France, and the attempted coup in Turkey. Hearing one horrible news story after another, I am even more convinced of the need to respond with mercy. Not too long ago, I was asked a very challenging question: ¨Are you driven more by love or fear?¨
Unfortunately, we inhabit a political and economic arena in which fear (coupled with greed and the desire for power) are the dominating factors, and the possibility of instant electronic communications makes it even easier to become overwhelmed by fear. The Polish National Museum´s Maria Mater Misericordiae exhibit is a reminder that this fear need not have the final say. For me, one of the most beautiful passages in the gospel is Mary´s ¨Magnificat,¨ in which she affirms the steadfast love of God and the belief that a better, more just world is possible. Let us not forget that Mary also lived in a harsh, violent reality– arguably much harsher than our own. Let us not forget that she listened to the angel´s order not to be afraid. And she responded with one of the bravest affirmations in history. Today, I would like to urge all of us to be guided by love rather than fear.
A Beautiful Examination of Conscience….
…that fits the present moment especially well, but could be profitably used at any time.
(Via Mark Shea)
What if…
What if enmity itself is our foe?
What if love is why we are here?
What if victory means reconciliation?
What if God made us for each other?
What if there is no "them" but only "us?"
An old millennial gears up for World Youth Day
It was July 2002. I stared out the window in amazement as the airplane began its descent. Green, so much green. As far as the eye could see, there were hills, forests, rolling farmland. My heart raced with excitement. At 19 I was taking my first trip outside North America to a place I had always dreamed of visiting: Kraków, Poland. I would spend the next four weeks studying the language of my ancestors and immersing myself in a thousand-year-old history and culture of one of Europe´s most intriguing civilizations. I would follow a Holocaust survivor on a visit to the former Krakow ghetto; I would hear Polish Nobel laureate Czesław Miłosz read from his work; I would take classes with passionate, erudite professors who would lead me to believe that maybe, just maybe, it would one day be possible for me to become a professor myself.
Now, it is July 2016. Two days ago, I again stared out the window as the plane descended into Kraków´s Pope John Paul II Airport. When I landed, I immediately noticed that the facilities had been renovated since my last visit. There was now a snazzy train connecting the terminal to the city. Taxi fare was a flat rate (unlike fourteen years ago, when drivers would size passengers up and charge as much as they thought they could get away with). There were new highways, new big chain stores. But as I dragged my oversized, book-laden suitcase up to the yellow, communist-era student hotel where I stayed fourteen years ago, I saw that very little had changed. After unpacking my bag, I left maps and smartphones behind and wandered toward the Old Town, trusting that my feet would remember the way. As familiar sites loomed before me – the old Town Hall, the opulent St. Mary´s Church, the statue of Poland´s national poet, Adam Mickiewicz – I nearly wept. I was home.
During the next three weeks, I will again take courses with the aim of relearning the Polish language (which I have studied intermittently over the past decade and a half). Then, at the end of this month, I will have the tremendous privilege of participating in an event that has always intrigued me: World Youth Day, when one and a half million young Catholics from around the globe are expected to converge on this city to hear Pope Francis speak.
¨Oh Jeannine,¨ sighed one of my oldest and dearest friends a few weeks ago when I told her my plans. ¨Can you really call yourself a youth?¨ At that I had to smile. In a culture where thirtieth birthdays are more often a cause for lamentation than joy, I suppose I cannot claim to be so youthful anymore. But most often, when I attend Mass in any North American city, I struggle to find others in my age group – particularly unmarried 20 and 30-somethings. Most of the congregation consists of older folks, or else parents with school-age children. But older millennials like me are somewhat more rare. Most of the people I attended Catholic schools with as a child and teenager no longer practise the religion of their upbringing; I am well aware that many have lost their faith, as I myself have come close to doing so many times. And so, I laughed at my friend´s question. ¨By the standards of the Catholic Church, I am most definitely a youth.¨
During these first days of my language program, I am already beginning to enjoy this hybrid status as both old and young. At thirty-three I am a tenure-track professor with a long and eclectic assortment of experiences, some twenty-year old friendships, and the bitter, truly adult awareness that I will imminently be the sole caregiver to my aging parents. On the other hand, I am unmarried with little money in the bank and even less interest in pursuing such culturally-sanctioned grown-up goals as buying a house and filling it with possessions (other than books, my perpetual downfall).
In a strange way this in-between state allows me to connect with people of many ages. During the past two days I have met a 40-something year old Englishman who is relocating to Warsaw for work, a Colombian woman my age who wants to be able to speak to her Polish husband´s family, and a retired German man who already speaks seven languages and thought it would be fun to learn one more. I am also meeting many young American university students who seem like carbon copies of the timid yet curious young girl I was fourteen years ago.
I can´t help but smile as I listen to theese 19-year-olds´ anxieties, which were exactly the same as mine when I first came to Poland in 2002.(¨Everyone is asking me what I plan to do with my English major once I finish university, and I hate having to tell them I don´t know!¨). It is fun to play mother hen and tell them not to worry, to assure them that in time they will find their place. At the same time, I realize that many of their fears – such as the growing political divisions in Europe and the US, widespread economic injustice, and the growing ecological crisis – are the same as mine. And unfortunately, these have no easy answers.
At the beginning of this century, when I was a senior in a Catholic high school, our campus minister asked one of my artistically talented classmates to create a large banner showcasing the words, ¨Embrace the World with Hope¨ – a tapestry that still hangs in the school´s chapel. Back in 2000 (that other Jubilee Year) it was hard to see hope amid the Balkan wars, the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and society´s widespread disregard for the most vulnerable of its members. At 17 I never could have predicted that the coming years would bring even more seemingly hopeless realities: the terrorist attacks of 2001 and the many more that have followed; the declaration of a ¨war on terror¨ that arguably can never be won; the economic crisis of 2008; the eruption of war in many parts of the world; and the rise of divisive nationalism, racism and xenophobia throughout not insubstantial pockets of American and European society. Hope is more difficult and essential to maintain now than it ever was. And yet, hope is not enough. As Pope Francis has exhorted us throughout this Jubilee Year, we need to embrace our broken world with something that demands quite a lot of us: mercy.
I look forward to my first World Youth Day with no expectations but many desires. I yearn to be inspired by our spirit-filled pope to work for the coming of God´s kingdom in this world. I hope to gain insight into how I might bring mercy to those who need it most. And, above all else, I hope to meet Catholic ¨youth¨ – whether they be fifteen years old or fifty-five – and experience the solidarity of the global church. My mind is filled with questions for the many people I hope to meet. What does it mean to be a Catholic Christian in the 21st century? How are we called to respond to the rapidly changing realities that surround us? How are we to share the gospel message with an increasingly globalized and secularized world?
It is with excitement and joy that I raise these questions. And, if I get any answers, I will be even more excited to share them with you.
Remembering Which Sacrifice?
It's an easy temptation, wherever the false doctrine of exceptionalism is rife, to treat national holidays as liturgical ones, especially when they happen to occur in proximity. So let us be reminded: today, the universal Church celebrates the feast of the body and blood of Christ. Not anything else.
The universality of the Church's feasts, and of the Eucharist itself, is a necessary guard against the imperial tendency to think ourselves the center of the world, including the Church. Various countries may have their own particular days to memorialize those killed in war, but these stories are not the Church's story. The Church's story is the Christ-event, which continues in our Lord's living presence to us at the Eucharistic table, celebrated today by millions of Catholics around the world. The Church's memorial is to come to this table, and by so doing, to "proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes."
Some Thoughts on War for Memorial Day
The enduring attraction of war is this: Even with its destruction and carnage it can give us what we long for in life. It can give us purpose, meaning, a reason for living. Only when we are in the midst of conflict does the shallowness and vapidness of much of our lives become apparent. Trivia dominates our conversations and increasingly our airwaves. And war is an enticing elixir. It gives us resolve, a cause. It allows us to be noble. And those who have the least meaning in their lives, the impoverished refugees in Gaza, the disenfranchised North African immigrants in France, even the legions of young who live in the splendid indolence and safety of the industrialized world, are all susceptible to war's appeal.
― Chris Hedges, Author of War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning
If you're going to have a military, especially one that is sent to fight as many wars as ours is, you need to desensitize soldiers to the value of human life, so that they will kill without hesitation or reflection.
But in attempting to form young men and women in that way, the military must work against something very powerful, very deeply ingrained in the human psyche. There is a very strong, intrinsically human revulsion to killing our fellow humans. You can talk all day about "it's ok because it's war" and "it was you or them" or any of the other lies Mother Culture tells you about killing in the particular instance of war, but unless you are a sociopath, the reality of what war actually is — hellish, brutal, murderous, senseless and soul-destroying — always trumps that, somewhere inside.
Hedges again:
If we really saw war, what war does to young minds and bodies, it would be impossible to embrace the myth of war. If we had to stand over the mangled corpses of schoolchildren killed in Afghanistan and listen to the wails of their parents, we would not be able to repeat clichés we use to justify war. This is why war is carefully sanitized. This is why we are given war's perverse and dark thrill but are spared from seeing war's consequences. The mythic visions of war keep it heroic and entertaining…
The wounded, the crippled, and the dead are, in this great charade, swiftly carted offstage. They are war's refuse. We do not see them. We do not hear them. They are doomed, like wandering spirits, to float around the edges of our consciousness, ignored, even reviled. The message they tell is too painful for us to hear. We prefer to celebrate ourselves and our nation by imbibing the myths of glory, honor, patriotism, and heroism, words that in combat become empty and meaningless.
Sending young men to commit warfare is a heart-breakingly awful thing to do, when you peel away the rationalizations, legalisms and veneer of nationalist triumphalism. It may, very occasionally, be unavoidable – the Civil War and Second World War being two consensus examples – but no less evil for that. War ought always to be undertaken with a heavy sense of failure.
I vividly remember watching a report on MTV (of all places) during the opening weeks of the Iraq War, and the correspondent interviewed a group of infantrymen on a desolate stretch of Iraqi highway, leaning against a Bradley Fighting Vehicle during a pause in the action. One soldier, a young private who looked to still be in his teens, said the following to her: "When you first kill someone in battle, a piece of your soul dies with him. I don't think you ever get that back."
There was a saying half a century ago in the protests against Vietnam: "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." In other words, if you have the world's most powerful military, then it will tend to be the card you reach for first: it seems your strongest suit.
I have a hard time with folks who try and wave off objections to war with some explanation like, "Well, what is one to do? In a fallen world, war will always be a fact of life."
There is something to this – war is indeed a result of human brokenness – but I sometimes think that attitude lets us off way too easy.
What if war is there because we human beings in the world either support it, at least tacitly, or else we don't do enough to stop it? What if it doesn't have to be this way? Why can't we Americans raise a generation who has no experience with losing friends in battle?
There is an important distinction between hope and optimism – hope being the belief that change for the better is possible, and optimism being the belief that change is inevitable. This Memorial Day weekend, as we ponder the 1.34 million American military men and women who have died in America's wars through the centuries, maybe we can leaven our sadness with the hope that we can build a world where young men no longer have to experience a piece of their soul dying in battle. I think the men in battlefield cemeteries scattered across the globe would agree that this hope is a decent one to cherish.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

Good Points
quick startup, superb build quality
Bad Points
battery life, overly compressed images, lack of manual control
General Comments
For what it sets out to be, a 4 megapixel point and shoot, this camera is perfect. It's only real bugbear is limited battery life (no more than 150 photos on one charge). The KD500 is a far better camera and the new KD510, a quantum leap away in a similarly packaged body.

STEAM is a touring performance, in which a group of urban explorers discover, beneath canvas tarps, the skeletal remains of a machine that changed the world. Inspired, they shovel coal on the fires of the past … Inspired by classic movie genre STEAM takes the Urban Playground Team on a whistle stop tour through silent movies, the Wild West, James Bond, WWI and the dark future of inner city commuting…
There will be workshops at Didcot Cornerstone Arts Centre on Saturday 6 August, where local young people will create new scenes for the show that they will then play alongside the professional company in STEAM LOCAL LINE at Didcot Railway Centre on Wednesday 10 August. Shows will be at 11.30am and 2pm with a workshop in between from 12.15 to 1 pm.
No extra to pay - included in running day admission charge.

BBC Four will be screening a live show over three evenings in July, hosted by broadcaster Peter Snow and mathematician Dr Hannah Fry, from their base at Didcot Railway Centre where they will provide a commentary on passing trains.
The two hosts will link to presenter Dick Strawbridge who wil be visiting interesting railway sites across the country.
The programme aims to be 'not just a show for trainspotters', but should interest anyone with a passion for British history, travel and engineering. Mr Snow said: "Even more exciting than watching election results come in is watching glorious trains speed past on a major railway line. And if it happens to be a steam engine passing by - what a bonus!"
Cassian Harrison, channel editor at BBC Four, said: said: "BBC Four has always been the home of singular passions - from James May celebrating the intricate engineering of a lawn mower to George McGavin unpacking the hidden history of a single oak tree. I'm delighted that for one week we're now going to celebrate that most unique of British obsessions - the train - with all the wit, scale and love of detail that is BBC Four's hallmark."
Tom McDonald, head of commissioning, specialist factual formats and natural history, added: "I am delighted to be doing a big live show for BBC Four on a subject which is so close to the nation's heart, which will build the most comprehensive picture of Britain's rail network ever attempted."
The public are also being asked to help out by filming their own trainspotting adventures, which may then be used on the show.

Sorry but D1015 'Western Champion' will no longer be visiting the event. As there are fewer mainline diesels attending than we had hoped we will be reducing the admission charge to £11 (adult), £9 (child), £10 (60+) and £34 (family, 2 adults + 2 children).
The event will also feature Didcot Railway Centre's:
Our Signalling system will be in operation on the branch line, and there will be a flypast by a Dakota on Sunday, weather permitting.
The 'Black Python' bar will be hosting the Real Ale Festival. There is more information about this event on our Gala Events page.
All locomotives and other attractions subject to availability.
The Didcot Railway Centre Transport Rally on Sunday 5 June 2016 had originally been planned to take place at Didcot Town Football Club car park, but with the owners of some 32 vintage buses applying to bring their vehicles, it was clear that, together with all the other exhibits, we had a problem. Our rally wouldn't fit on our rally site! Thankfully GWR and APCOA were happy to come to the rescue and offer the huge Didcot Foxhall Road car park as an alternative into which all our exhibits will comfortably fit.
As well as the buses there will be a steam road roller, vintage cars and commercial vehicles, together with miniature railway rides and trade stands. Some of the vintage buses will be offering rides on routes to Wantage, Wallingford and Blewbury as well as providing a shuttle service to Didcot Parkway Station and the Railway Centre entrance.
The admission price for the Rally includes access to Didcot Railway Centre, where there will be train rides and our shops and refreshment room will be open as usual for souvenirs and sustenance! There is more information about the Transport Rally on our Gala Events page.
All attractions subject to availability.
As part of Volunteers' Week, we are offering a chance to find out about volunteering at Didcot Railway Centre.
Volunteer managers will be available on the day to explain what they do and what help they need. Visitors signing up as volunteers will have a chance to ride on the footplate of one of our engines.
Didcot Railway Centre will be open and visitors can enjoy unlimited train rides as well as all our other attractions.

There is currently an exhibition of paintings of Didcot Railway Centre by local artist Andrew Manson at the Cornerstone Gallery, Didcot.
See the Cornerstone Website for details of the exhibtion and for opening times and directions.
Andrew gives an artists description of the Railway Centre: 'The whole operation runs at its own pace keeping in time with the exhibits & the age they are from. I can't see the place modernising any time soon & it's fair to say they would not want it to either! Its charm and culture is enbodied through the steam, dirt, grit and slow turns & grinds of the old rail industry'.

As a great way to finish the Easter Holidays we're offering an additional attraction on Thrursday/Friday 7 & 8 April 2016.
Children's Discos run throughout the day and are firmly aimed at families – no drink or drugs (but probably some rock 'n' roll)!
No need to book, just pay on the day - exhibition only day prices apply.
Guest locomotive, Peppercorn A1 class Pacific 60163 'Tornado' will feature extensively over the four days of Easter steamings (25-28 March) at Didcot Railway Centre, along with locomotives from our home fleet.
The locomotive was designed by A H Peppercorn, the final Chief Mechanical Engineer of the LNER before nationalisation in 1948. None of the original A1s were preserved.
Built from scratch over a 20 year period at Darlington Locomotive Works, as the next in line of this classic locomotive type, 'Tornado' incorporates all the necessary requirements to operate on today's modern railway.
Tornado first moved under her own power in 2008 and has gained many accolades since, including, hauling the Royal Train three times, and appearing on an episode of BBC Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson on the footplate.
The visit is 'Tornado's' first visit of the year to a heritage railway, offering members of the public the chance to see this famous locomotive, back in apple green livery for the first time in four years.
Commercial manager, Ann Middleton, commented, "This will be Tornado's fourth visit to the centre. Tornado remains ever popular, and we look forward to welcoming her supporters and fans. It's a great chance for people to get up close and personal with Tornado as well as ride behind her and watch the locomotive on our demonstration line."
On Sunday 7 February Didcot Railway Centre will be running a Little Engineers Pre-School Workshop, for children aged 3-6 years. The event is entitled 'How Steam Engines Work'. The workshops will be held at 11:30am, 12:30pm and 2:30pm in the Science, Learning and Railways carriages, and in between the workshops there will be Engine Shed tours for participants.
