Is it just me, or does something seem fishy about this video? I didn't see anything that really looked like actual cars being made.
Well, except for the injection molded plastic one. Probably not what people with $5K Model S deposits have in mind.
"how it's made" featured tesla not too long ago. Nearly everything was done by hand. I'm guessing that's why when the workmen are cleared out it doesnt seem like much is there.
Tesla production is small. The workers were using tubes of glue and whatnot rather than industrial dispensers.
my response was: how much money did they spend to make sure everything was color coordinated?
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Notes On Blindness

"…this superb documentary dramatises the life-changing experiences of theology professor John Hull, whose audiotape diaries of his journey into blindness formed the basis of his 1990 book Touching the Rock. Building upon their 2014 Emmy award-winning short film, Middleton and Spinney have created an utterly immersive feature " Mark Kermode, The Guardian

Dateline, 1984. This is the Margaret Thatcher era in Great Britain, and for striking miners and gay activists, times are pretty rough.

Twin towers
Some day your computer might become a target.
Highest Rated
I actually did NOT notice the "twin towers" until I started reading all the comments. I agree with whoever said "who cares what Americans think". Its called "Ads of the World" not "Ads made to please America".
Impressively art directed. I'm also amazed that such a simple line would and visual would hit such a key. With that said, this ad could have been done with avoiding the twin towers. Just the thought of the cicuit as a city is great.
Nice idea! I like it the fact it struck you instantly...like most ads should and not cliche. Such an idea is well thought of and give immediate awareness to consumer. Lovely!!!
no this one actually is not in poor taste. The lego ads, and that korean mp3 player were in poor taste. This one actually i think is tastefully done in a way not making light of the situation but using them in a serious proper analogy. Computer hacking, especially large corporate servers or government and industrial servers and power grids and such are a real target that if attacked could have devistating concequences. Its just saying watch out or you could be a major target as well.
I'll put good taste aside here, unless I'm mistaken in thinking that advertising is about pushing ideas to the limit and taking chances, and concentrate merely on the idea here.
It all feels forced to me. If you have an idea that's obscene to begin with, go right ahead. If you insist on doing so to get attention you're wasting precious time and brain cells that will forget you shortly anyway. Take "Lego", for example, who did a much better job with 9/11 in advertising. It felt more relevant than this ad.
Being Cynical is easy. I know, I love it. Just make sure it's right for your ad.
Don't forget to hug your doorman,

Soros, Oaktree Said to Be Bidders for Catalunya Banc LoansCharles Penty
George Soros and Oaktree Capital Group LLC are leading two of five investor groups bidding for 6.5 billion euros ($8.9 billion) of distressed mortgages from Spain's Catalunya Banc, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.
Blackstone Group LP and TPG Capital are making a joint bid and Cerberus Capital Management LP and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are also bidding together, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information isn't public. Lone Star Funds is also bidding, they said. The offers exceed 3 billion euros, one of the people said.
Spain's FROB bank rescue fund is seeking a buyer for Catalunya Banc, which was nationalized in 2011, and is selling the mortgage portfolio separately as part of that process. The Barcelona-based lender was bailed out with 12 billion euros in public funds as Spain took 41 billion euros in European loans to rescue its banking system in 2012 amid a real-estate crash.
Michael Vachon, a spokesman for Soros, declined to comment in an e-mailed response. Cerberus's press office didn't respond to e-mails sent before New York business hours. Jonathan Doorley, a spokesman for Oaktree in London, declined to comment, as did Andrew Dowler, a London-based spokesman for Blackstone, and Sophie Ramsay, a spokeswoman for Goldman Sachs in London. No one was immediately available to comment at Pelham Bell Pottinger in London, which represents TPG.
El Mundo today reported that billionaire investor Soros, Blackstone, Cerberus and Oaktree were among bidders for the Catalunya Banc mortgages.

Tron's producer explains how it's "darker" than the original. A new photo shows Tony Stark's racetrack fantasy in flames. A District 9 TV-spot explains the backstory. And there are three Dr. Parnassus clips. Plus Doctor Who, Torchwood, Heroes and Fringe.
Iron Man 2:
A few new pics of Tony Stark on a trashed, flaming race track, plus Pepper Potts and Rhodey, from USA Today's Comic Con preview. [USA Today via Slashfilm]
Producer Sean Bailey told MTV News that the new movie is a "stand-alone sequel" and you don't have to have seen the original to appreciate it. But it takes the stance that the original movie happened in 1982, and since then there have been developments with ENCOM and Kevin Flynn and all the other characters. In the film, Flynn disappeared in 1989, and there are tons of theories about what happened to him. But no trace has ever been found. Flynn's son, Sam, grows up never knowing what happened to him.
Says Bailey, "At the beginning of the movie, [Sam is] given a clue or a prompt and starts to investigate, which leads him into the Tron universe. And things have really changed." You'll still see lightcycles and tanks, but they'll be streamlined and improved, plus there are also new vehicles. And it's a "darker universe" with more intensity. It'll push the limits of the PG rating. It'll be, like, PG-12. [MTV]

But to her family, calling her a 'person with a learning disability' is a travesty of the facts. Felicity cannot look after herself. She will never learn to hold an intelligent conversation. She is, and always will be, they say, 'mentally handicapped'.
'Learning disability?' queried her mother, Judy, with distaste. 'No - utterly wrong. It completely fails to match Felicity's condition. She has a great deal more wrong with her than the ability to learn.'
In the course of her life Felicity has been called backward, an imbecile, retarded and subnormal. Judy Fryd has always had strong views about how her daughter's condition should be described. She was the founder of Mencap in 1946, when it was first known as The National Association for the Parents of Backward Children. Eight years later, at her prompting, the group adopted the term 'mental handicap' and eventually became Mencap.
Yet now, in most social work offices, council chambers and health authority committee rooms the words 'mental handicap' are no longer uttered. They are regarded as insulting, misleading, bad for people's self-image and, ultimately, politically incorrect. In June last year, the term 'people with learning disabilities' was officially adopted by the Department of Health to describe the mentally handicapped. 'People with learning difficulties' has been widely used by education professionals for 10 years. But both terms are the subject of passionate debate.
This month Mencap, the leading charity for the mentally handicapped, will undertake a relaunch. Many of its younger supporters want the group to ban the old description, but a significant number of older traditionalists are adamant they want to stick with 'mental handicap'. Mencap will not, however, drop 'mental handicap' from its public appeals, nor change its name. The scene is set for the biggest row the world of mental disability has seen for many years.
The word 'handicap' derives from an ancient game of forfeits, in which the players dipped their hands into an upturned cap to retrieve objects. Later it became a horseracing term where, ironically, the most able horses were weighted down to give the slower ones a better chance. 'Handicap' first came to mean some kind of human physical impairment in the late 19th century. It is only in the last 30 years, as it has become associated with both physical and mental problems, that it has acquired any pejorative overtones.
Valerie Sinason, a psychotherapist who works with mentally handicapped adults and children at the Tavistock Clinic in London, has made a detailed study of euphemisms for mental handicap. She has identified 43 different terms, including dolt, blockhead, idiot, cretin, ninny, slow and stupid. Most, she believes, began as innocent descriptions but were corrupted over a period of time. Historically, euphemisms for mental handicap have usually lasted for about 30 years. 'Every new word is coined honourably,' she said. 'It is not deliberately created as a euphemism, but becomes one because of the painfulness of the subject.'
Ms Sinason believes the time span has become shorter because of mass communications, and words now last only five years. She has recently met normal eight-to-12 year old children who use 'LD', short for 'learning difficulty', as a term of playground abuse. 'It is only a matter of time before it will have to be changed to something else,' she said. In America, the birthplace of political correctness, the terminology is still on the move. Vogue terms are 'intellectually challenged' and 'intellectual disability' - in some areas this has given way to 'dysability', the 'y' in the prefix intended to defuse the negative.
Does what we call someone really affect the way society treats them? People First, a pressure group which is challenging Mencap, believes it does. At its small office in central London, the expression 'mental handicap' is regarded with horror. 'You don't use that term here,' warned Declan Treanor, the group's administrator. He is perhaps best described as a person without a learning difficulty; all the other employees do have, to some degree.
'It's up to the people affected themselves to decide what they want to be called,' said Mr Treanor. 'Staff here chose 'learning difficulties'. Nobody likes it, but it's better than what went before. Our slogan is 'label jars, not people'. At bottom it's not the terminology that needs changing, it's negative images. Altering the name is only the first step in changing public attitudes.'
'Handicapped is one of those words that isn't in our vocabulary any more,' said Simon, who has a learning difficulty, and works for People First as an adviser. 'It has a stigma and you are treated as a child, as if you can't do anything for yourself.'
Mencap, however, does not agree. It believes it can accentuate the positive without adopting jargon which is widely misunderstood by the public. 'The evidence is that most people don't know what 'learning difficulties' means,' said Steven Billington, fund-raising director. 'They think it's something to do with needing a bit of extra help with your Latin.'
Instead, Mencap is to relaunch with a 'positive images - positive action' approach. Old images of mental handicap which tug at the heart strings have been consigned to the dustbin, including 'Little Steven', the famous drawing of a sad-faced little boy. He will be replaced by new logos showing cheerful, smiling, active mentally handicapped people.
The approach may have financial consequences. Compared to shocking or pitiful images, soft or more positive advertising does not necessarily make people reach for their wallets. The result for Mencap could be that, while the public may be better educated, its coffers may be less full in future. 'The new images are not primarily designed to elicit public donations,' said Mr Billington. However, the harsh reality is that - for the time being at least - 'mental handicap' and doleful pictures may arouse more sympathy than political correctness.

This invention relates generally to polygon shaped glazier's points of the type used by glaziers to retain a pane of glass in a wood frame or the like, and deals more particularly a unique means for retaining such points in a stack, particularly points of the type having a non-circular central opening suitable for receiving key defining ribs on the retaining means itself.
Prior art glazier's points are generally stamped from sheet metal or the like, and do not have openings. In accordance with the present invention the points are provided with holes or openings of particular configuration, and these holes have notches which are aligned with the vertices of the generally polygon shaped point such that the points can be conveniently oriented with respect to one another, not only by the tooling used during fabrication, but also during assembly with a retainer of the present invention, such that a stack of points so retained is well adapted to insertion in the magazine of a conventional point driver.
One object of the present invention is to provide an improved point such that it can be driven by conventional means into the wooden molding of a picture frame or the like at a slight angle with respect to the backside of the glass, or picture, or backing material used in the picture frame, following which the exposed portion of the point can be bent downwardly to abut the back of these materials and to better retain these materials in place in the picture frame.
Another advantage of the unique point configuration can be attributed to the use of these points in glazing window frames such that the exposed portion of the point will have a non-circular central opening as mentioned previously, with the result that the glazing material or putty will form a mechanical lock with the opening in the point and thereby provide a more secure window sash assembly.
Still another advantage of the unique point configuration disclosed herein can be attributed to the fact that the exposed portion of the point will more easily permit a workman to retract such points should this be necessary in order to remove a particular piece of window glass in a sash as described above for replacement or the like.
Finally, and still with respect to the unique point configuration disclosed herein, it is noted that the non-circular opening in each of the points permits the points to be oriented and indexed during manufacture of the points themselves, a result not heretofore convenient with conventional points generally.
With reference to the retaining means used for handling a stack of such points, it is noted that no adhesive is required between these adjacent points in order to keep the points in oriented relationship so that they can be inserted in a conventional point driver magazine. The retainer of the present invention provides a mechanical connection between all of the points in the stack such that the points are kept in oriented alignment with one another by the unique retaining means itself.
A further advantage of the point retaining means resides in the fact that such retaining means is expendable and can be easily removed by the glazier while inserting a stack of points in his point driving tool.
The advantages of the point with its associated opening of non-circular contour can best be realized when these points are arranged in a stack and are retained in this stacked configuration by a unique fastener means which includes, an elongated shank extending through the non-circular aligned openings of the points in the stack, a head portion of the fastener configured to abut the endmost point of the stack, and with releasably point engaging means at the opposite end of the shank portion to releasably retain the stack axially by engaging the endmost point at the opposite end of the stack. The shank portion of the fastener has key defining ribs extending axially thereof and cooperating with opposed notches of the non-circular openings in the individual points in order to restrain the points from rotating with respect to one another in the stack.
In one version the fastener is formed by a single injection molded part which is upset at one end to provide for retention of the points on the shank portion thereof. In an alternative embodiment the fastener comprises a one-piece metal member bent to a generally U-shape similar to a cotter key and having its shank portion defined by the legs of the U, which legs have opposed marginal edges defining the above mentioned rib, and which legs are skewed with respect to one another when the cotter key fastener is in its unstressed configuration. In this last version laterally outwardly projecting tabs adjacent the ends of each of said skewed legs serve to retain the stack axially, and the unique configurations of the openings in the points, together with the skewed legs of the cotter key fastener, permit the glazier to twist this type of fastener slightly in order to facilitate removal of this retainer device from a stack of points in order to facilitate insertion of the stack in a point driver or the like.

FIG. 13 is a plan view of a glazier's point of alternative geometry, but incorporating many of the advantages of the FIG. 1 point.
Glazier's points are, typically, triangular or diamond shaped, and are commonly provided in stacked configuration with a suitable adhesive or the like between adjacent points in the stack, not unlike the stacking of staples for a staple gun. Furthermore, conventional point drivers or the like are available for driving the lowermost point in a stack from a magazine, and U.S. Pat. No. 1,744,700 shows a typical point driver of present day construction. In use, the point driver would be placed against the surface of a window glass, after the glass has been suitably located in a window sash or frame, and after a certain amount of glazing material or putty had been first provided in the window sash all in accordance with conventional practice. After applying the point driver to the surface of the glass as aforesaid, the glazier squeezes a trigger such that a point driving plate drives the lowermost point from the stack into the wood style or frame of the window assembly. Such point drivers are also utilized by picture frame manufacturers who also drive points into a wooden picture frame molding without the benefit of putty or glazing material. FIG. 8 of the drawings illustrate the magazine portion of a typical point driver wherein the lowermost point in the stack is adapted to being driven by a plate 10 in the direction of the arrow 12 so as to embed the point in the adjacent wood picture frame or window sash. FIGS. 10 and 11 illustrate a triangular point 14 of the present invention after it has been so driven into a wood picture frame 16. In FIG. 11, the point 14 is shown in solid lines after having been so driven by the driver, and it is noted that the driver will have been held at a slight angle to the plane of the glass 18 in order to achieve the orientation shown. After having been so driven the point 14 is sometimes bent to the broken line position shown in FIG. 11, with the result that the point is deformed along a line 21 defined by the edge of the wooden frame 16.
The preceding discussion will set the frame of reference for the present invention, and illustrates the typical use made of a conventional point as well as that intended for the point to be described herein. In accordance with the present invention, and also in accordance with the conventional practice of manufacturers of points generally, the typical glazier's point comprises a regular polygon shaped metal element, which in FIG. 1 is of triangular plan-form having three vertices 14a, 14b, and 14c. The line 14d comprises a bisector of the vertex angle defined at 14b, and it will be apparent that three such bisector lines can be visualized for the triangular point shown. In accordance with the present invention the point 14 has a non-circular opening 20 defined centrally thereof and the bisector 14d is so oriented that notches 20a and 20b of the opening 20 are oriented symmetrically with respect to this bisector line 14d and are located on said line 14d, with further notches 20c and 20d being oriented on other bisector lines associated with other vertices of the triangular shaped point. Thus, pairs or sets of opposed notches are defined in the noncircular opening 20, corresponding in number to the number of such vertices in the regular polygon shaped point. For example, the triangular point 14 in FIG. 1 has three such pairs of notches. It is further noted that the regular polygon shaped point 14 is not only triangular, but is also equilateral in that the lengths of the three sides are equal to one another. It will also be noted that the noncircular opening configuration has a maximum lateral dimension oriented along at least one bisector of at least one vertex of the polygon plan form.
The above described configuration for the opening 20 in the triangular point 14 permits piloting of a plurality of such points in suitable tooling mechanism (not shown) such that the points can be assembled in a jig or the like and stacked as suggested in FIG. 4. Such an assembly is designed to allow suitable point retaining or fastener means to be inserted into the aligned openings as suggested in the sequence of views illustrated in FIGS. 4, 4a and 4b.
Turning next to a description of the particular fastener means illustrated in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, the fastener shown comprises a metal strip bent back along itself in a generally U-shape so as to define a head portion 22, adjacent leg portions 22a and 22b, and each of such leg portions is preferably skewed slightly with respect to the other, as shown in FIG. 2, for a purpose to be described. As best shown in FIG. 4 the ends of these legs 22a and 22b for the shank portion of the fastener illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 have the appearance of being anti-symmetrical with respect to one another, and the end of each leg defines an out-turned tab portion, 22c and 22d respectively, such that these ends serve to retain the stack axially once the fastener of FIGS. 2 and 3 has been inserted through the entire stack as suggested in FIG. 4b.
As so assembled the combination of the stack of triangular points 14, 14 together with the associated fastener just described provides a convenient combination well suited to insertion into the magazine of a conventional point driver. FIG. 6 shows the magazine portion of such a point driver with the bail 24 moved to one side and out of the way of the magazine so as to permit insertion of the stack of points as indicated generally by the arrow 26. The magazine itself is illustrated at 28, and comprises a receptacle of generally triangular configuration for receiving triangularly shaped points, and may be made of other shape for receiving points of different configuration. As suggested in FIG. 7, once the stack of points has been inserted into the magazine to the extent indicated in that view one can move the bail 24 into position for holding the stack downwardly as a result of pressure from bail return spring 30 in the point driver, with the result that the head portion 22 of the retainer or fastener can be twisted counterclockwise as indicated by the arrow 32 in FIG. 7 while such retainer is also withdrawn vertically in the upper direction as indicated by the arrow 34 in FIG. 8.
It is an important feature of the present invention that projecting tabs 22c and 22d of the fastener retainer will not impede this withdrawing motion suggested in FIG. 8 by reason of the cooperation between these projecting tabs and the configuration for the opening 20 in the lowermost point in the stack. The relative geometry is such that these projecting tabs will not impede withdrawal of the fastener as suggested in FIG. 8 but will tend to enhance this withdrawal step. FIG. 5 shows that the leg portions 22a and 22b of the fastener will tend to move away from their normal skewed position in response to twisting motion in the direction of the arrow 37 in FIG. 5, which arrow is in the same sense as the arrow 32 in FIG. 7. FIG. 5a illustrates the relationship between the corners of the notched portions 20a, 20b for the opening and the projecting tab portions 22c and 22d for the fastener legs.
With particular reference to FIG. 9 the head of the fastener of FIGS. 2 and 3, protrudes from one end of the stack of points, while the opposite end of the fastener projects through the opposite end of the stack of points as suggested at 25. It will be apparent that counterclockwise twisting motion imparted to the head 22 of the fastener will result in a torsional force being applied to the legs 22a and 22b of the fastener such that the protruding end portions thereof, indicated generally at 25, will be urged into contact with one another and the projecting tabs 22c and 22d will cam on the notched portions of the opening 20 and thereby facilitate removal of the fastener 22 from the stack as suggested in FIG. 8. The bail 24 of FIG. 8 can be inserted into the magazine once the fastener has been so removed, and the point driver used in conventional fashion. The stack of points are held down against conventional stops at the bottom of the magazine and each can be driven individually from the bottom of the stack as suggested by the arrow 12 in FIG. 8 by a conventional mechanism suitable for driving the plate 10 of the point driver itself. It should perhaps be noted that this stack of points will actually function more efficiently in such a conventional point driver than was true of a conventional stack because the latter stacks are held together with adhesive or the like, and this adhesive material tends to interfere with operation of the point driver after long periods of use. In fact, point drivers have had to be cleaned periodically with a suitable solvent in order to remove buildup from such adhesive. This disadvantage does not present itself with the unique point stack assembly of FIG. 9.
A shoe 10a is provided at the toe of the point driver and below the magazine described above so that the point driver itself can be held against the surface of the glass to drive the point into a wood sash such as shown in FIG. 10 at 16. The opening 20 in the point 14 will have a portion thereof which does not penetrate the wood sash 16, and this result will permit a workman to more easily withdraw the point after it has been so driven when required.
With particular reference to FIG. 11, the edge 21 of the sash 16 into which the point 14 is driven can be used to help the workman pry the point out as described above. Further, and as shown in FIG. 11 by the broken lines for the exposed or projecting portion of the point 14, the driven point may be installed at an angle to the glass pane 18 so that the point can be bent downwardly about the line defined by the intersection of edge 21 and the member 18 (which may or may not be glass). This feature is facilitated with the improved point 14 as a direct result of hole 20 in that this bending step (popular with picture frames and the like) is made much easier. The hole 20 weakens the point along the desired bend line, with the result that the angled point is more easily bent downwardly parallel to the plane of member 18 as suggested in FIG. 11.
Finally, FIG. 12 shows an alternative embodiment for the fastener element or retaining means for a stack of points similar to the stack depicted in FIG. 9. The fastener 50 of FIG. 12 has a head portion 52 (which may be formed by permanently bending the otherwise straight fastener shank portion as shown) and an opposite end 54 which projects beyond the endmost point in the stack as shown. This fastener 50 is preferably formed by injection molding, or by other means such as molding in an extrusion die, from a thermoplastic material. Preferably from a plastic capable of being formed to a permanent set at one end 52 to provide a head, and also adapted to being upset at the opposite end 54 to form a releasable point engaging means to retain the stack of points axially. As shown in FIG. 12, this plastic fastener 50 has the same cross sectional configuration as the generally star shaped opening 20 in each of the stacked points, and this cross section provides a plurality of ribs 56, 56 extending axially of the fastener and filling each of the notches provided in the aligned point openings. To form the above described releasable point engaging means at the end 54 of fastener 50 one of these ribs is mechanically upset as shown in FIG. 12. The raised rib regions adjacent the upset portion 58 will keep the points from moving or sliding off the shank of fastener 50, but once the assembly of FIG. 12 has been placed in the magazine of a point driver, such as shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, one can very easily strip the fastener from the stack as outlined previously with reference to the cotter key type fastener of FIG. 9. One need not even twist the fastener 50 to remove it as suggested for the preferred embodiment. Indeed, such twisting motion is not necessary with the FIG. 9 assembly but is merely preferable. The projections 22c and 22d at the end of 25 of FIG. 9 fastener are relieved to allow it too to be stripped from the stack without twisting.
Turning next to the glazier's point of FIG. 13, this point 114, like that described with reference to FIG. 1, has a regular polygonal planform (preferably triangular) and defines an opening 120 which has opposed notch portions 120a and 20b oriented on a bisector line 114d associated with one vertex 114b of the triangular shaped point. As so constructed and arranged the non-circular opening 120 is generally elliptical in outline and well suited to receive a retainer of the type described above with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. This fastener or retainer can be received in a stack of such points and can be inserted as described with reference to FIGS. 4, 4A, 4B, 5, and 5A. A stack of such points can readily be loaded in a point driver magazine as suggested in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8.

girl, whatever, these Democrats sure are desperate for new groups and subgroups, and sub, sub, subgroups to pander to and ultimately buy votes from, even if it's costing the other groups they pander to serious coin.[/vc_column_text][banner300 banner="5517620b381df"][vc_column_text]And, of course scandal-plagued, untrustworthy "progressive" Hillary Clinton is leading the charge, hysterically trying to energize her flat presidential campaign.
Speaking in Las Vegas on May 6, at a forum at Rancho High School about LGBT matters, the cold and calculating Clinton reached out to what must be a blossoming new splinter group, considering the Obama Regime's unconstitutional bastardization of immigration laws — transgendered illegal aliens.
Hillary Clinton told (see video below via CNS NEWS) one questioner that those foreign invaders who call themselves "trans" deserve special treatment. And you know who pays for it — you:
Question: For me, if there's 276,000 undocumentedLGBT immigrants here in the United States, around 15 to 50 of them are trans. So as a lesbian woman, I'd like to know how we can protect our trans brothers and sisters from being put into institutions where they don't identify with their gender identity?
Clinton: Well, that's what Rafael was also referring to earlier. And look I think that we have to do more to provide safe environments for vulnerable populations. And that certainly includes the LGBT community, also includes children, and it includes unaccompanied children. There are just–there are groups of people who I think deserve a higher level of care, because of the situations that they are finding themselves in.
I also think that we have to reform our detention system. I've, you know, I'm not sure a lot of Americans know that a lot of the detention facilities for immigrants are run by private companies and that they have a built in incentive to fill them up, that there is actually a legal requirement that so many beds be filled. So people go out and round up people in order to get paid on a per bed basis. I mean that just makes no sense at all to me. I mean that's not the way we should be running any detention facility.
So I think there is a lot we have to do to change what is currently happening and to try to put us on a path toward a better, fairer, or more humane system for everybody. Yes.
So, you can see what's coming here — "free" sex change operations with the hardworking American taxpayers who are already struggling to keep their heads above water and are suffering under Obamanomics.[/vc_column_text][banner300 banner="553157113d3ff"][vc_column_text]Why stop there, Hillary?

Springfield® M1ATM Standard 7.62 NATO Semi-automatic Centerfire Rifle. The legendary military rifle-re-engineered for the modern shooter.
From 1959 to 1970 the M14 served with distinction as the standard issue rifle of the United States military. When Springfield Armory® made the civilian legal variant - the M1A - available to the public in 1974, shooters were finally able to enjoy the same rifle that so many servicemen had utilized in the past.
The Standard Series is a faithful semi-auto only recreation of the original M14. Keep in mind that the Standard M1A is as well suited for a day at the range as it is for filling that special place in your military collection. All the design features that the Armed Services found essential for a battle rifle make the Standard M1A a great shooter. The windage and elevation adjustable rear sight minimizes the effort required to zero the rifle. The two-stage military trigger, detachable box magazine, op-rod and roller cam bolt call to mind the rich history of the M1A while providing functional ease of operation and legendary reliability.
You may be looking for a special addition to your collection, or you may be looking for a hard-working rifle that will pull duty on the range, in the treestand or in your truck. The Standard M1A is ready for its next mission.

Privacy by Design (PbD) is a concept popularized by Ann Cavoukian, the commissioner for information and privacy for the province of Ontario, Canada. It was developed to ensure that privacy was protected and that people gained control over their information and the information of their enterprises. In 2011, at their 32nd annual conference, the international Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners recognized PbD as an "essential component of fundamental privacy protection."[1]
It teaches the following seven "Foundational Principles":[2]
1. Proactive not Reactive; Preventative not Remedial
2. Privacy as the Default Setting
3. Privacy Embedded into Design
4. Full functionality—Positive-sum, not Zero-sum
5. End-to-End Security—Full Lifecycle Protection
6. Visibility and Transparency—Keep it Open
7. Respect for User Privacy—Keep it User-Centric
By Ann Cavoukian, PhD, information and Privacy Commissioner, ontario, Canada
in october 2010, a landmark resolution was unanimously passed by the international Privacy Commissioners and Data Protection Authorities at their annual conference, recognizing Privacy by Design (PbD) as an "essential component of fundamental privacy protection." The Resolution also:
Encouraged the adoption of the principles of Privacy by Design as part of an organization's default mode of operation; and
invited Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners to promote Privacy by Design, foster the incorporation of its Foundational Principles in privacy policy and legislation in their respective jurisdictions, and encourage research into Privacy by Design.
since then, PbD has become a global operation, having been translated into 35 languages. Public policymakers in the United states, Europe, and Australia have issued proposals to express PbD in reformed information privacy governance and oversight regimes. More than a concept, PbD has become a legal and regulatory requirement in major jurisdictions around the world. With the world evolving so rapidly, privacy protections must also evolve in equal measure.
Evolving Privacy Contexts
Privacy is often said to be in "crisis" today as a result of numerous developments:
Leapfrogging information and communications technology developments;
The advent of social, cloud, mobile, and ambient computing; Evolving cultural norms; and
A global patchwork of outdated privacy laws.
The information privacy solution requires a combination of data minimization techniques, credible safeguards, meaningful individual participation, and robust accountability measures, informed by an enhanced and enforceable set of universal privacy principles adapted to modern realities.
PbD evolved from early efforts to express Fair information Practice principles directly in the design and operation of information and communications technologies, resulting in Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs). over time, the broader systems and processes in which PETs were embedded and operated were also considered. These include organizational practices and networked information ecosystems. PbD principles emphasize proactive leadership, systematic methods, and demonstrable results.
Proactive Not Reactive; Preventative Not Remedial
PbD principles have changed the global privacy conversation by shifting emphasis away from reactively detecting and punishing privacy offenses after they occur to minimizing risks and preventing harms before they occur. "Build it in early" is now a common message from data protection authorities around the world.
PbD principles aspire to the highest global standards of practical privacy possible—to go beyond compliance and achieve visible evidence of leadership, regardless of jurisdiction. Good privacy doesn't happen by itself; it requires proactive leadership and continuous goal setting at the earliest stages.
Global leadership begins with explicit recognition of the benefits and value of adopting strong privacy practices, early and consistently (e.g., preventing data breaches and harms from arising). This implies:
A clear commitment, at the highest levels, to prescribe and enforce high standards of privacy, generally higher than the standards set out by global laws and regulation;
A demonstrable privacy commitment that is shared by organization members, user communities, and stakeholders in a culture of continuous improvement;
Establishing methods to recognize poor privacy designs, to anticipate poor practices and outcomes, and to correct any unintended or negative impacts, well before they occur, in proactive, systematic, and innovative ways; and
Continuous commitment and iterative processes to identify and mitigate privacy risks.
The preventative and systematic approach to engineering privacy is often associated with privacy-enhancing technologies, particularly in Europe. Although PbD is often best illustrated through specific technologies (the more user-centric the better), it is the organization that has become a more central and effective focus for applying PbD Principles, especially in view of the requirement to comply with privacy and data protection laws.
Being proactive and preventative requires a clear understanding of the strategic risks, challenges, and rewards of applying strong privacy throughout an organization and across information systems, in a comprehensive manner.
Privacy Embedded into Design
Privacy promises are not enough—they must be implemented in systematic and verifiable ways. information and communications technologies, systems, and networks are highly complex and dynamic in nature. Data processing is interdependent and tends to be opaque in nature, requiring more trust than ever from stakeholders and users for sustainability. These are not ideal conditions for ensuring that accountability, data protection, and individual privacy will thrive.
Privacy commitments and controls must be embedded into technologies, operations, and information architectures in holistic, integrative, and creative ways:
Holistic, because broader contexts must be considered to properly assess privacy risks and remedies;
integrative, because all stakeholders should be consulted in the development dialogue; and
Creative, because embedding privacy rights and controls, at times means reinventing the choices offered because existing alternatives are unacceptable.
A systematic, principled approach to operationalizing privacy should be adopted, one that relies on accepted standards and process frameworks, amenable to external reviews and audits. All fair information practices should be applied with equal rigor, at every design step.
Wherever possible, detailed privacy impact and risk assessments should be carried out, documenting the privacy risks and measures taken to mitigate those risks, including consideration of alternatives and the selection of metrics.
The privacy impacts of the resulting technologies, processes, and information architectures should be demonstrably minimized and not easily degraded through use, misconfiguration, or error.
in the United states, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has begun to require some organizations to put in place comprehensive, auditable privacy programs. in the European Union, "prior checking" and other due diligence requirements are becoming mandatory for organizations to demonstrate compliance with privacy laws.
Full Functionality: Positive-Sum Not Zero-Sum
Privacy is not an absolute value. To design practical, yet effective, privacy controls into information technologies, organizational processes, or networked architectures, privacy architects need to acknowledge many legitimate (and, yes, sometimes competing) goals, requirements, and interests and accommodate them in optimized, innovative ways.
The PbD Principle of Full Functionality requires going beyond privacy declarations and best efforts to demonstrate how data processing and other objectives have been, and are being, satisfied in a doubly-enabling, win-win model. External accountability and leadership are enhanced by applying this principle, which emphasizes transparency and measurable outcomes of multiple functionalities:
When embedding privacy into a given information technology, process, system, or architecture, it should be done in such a way that full functionality is not impaired, and that all legitimate interests are accommodated and requirements optimized;
Privacy is often positioned in a zero-sum manner; that is, having to compete with other legitimate interests, design objectives, and technical capabilities in a given domain. PbD rejects this approach; it embraces legitimate non-privacy objectives and accommodates them in an innovative, positive-sum manner; and
All interests and objectives must be clearly documented, desired functions articulated, metrics agreed upon and applied, and unnecessary trade-offs rejected, in favor of finding a solution that enables multifunctionality.
Additional recognition is deserved for creativity and innovation in achieving all objectives and functionalities in an integrative, positive-sum manner. organizations that succeed in overcoming outmoded zero-sum choices demonstrate global privacy leadership.
This principle challenges policymakers, technologists, and designers, among others, to find ways to achieve better privacy in a given technology, system, or domain than is currently the case and to document and demonstrate achievements that become best practices.
There are many examples of positive-sum "transformative" technologies that achieve multiple objectives in tandem in a privacy-enhancing manner. For example, Biometric Encryption (BE) achieves positive identification without the need for centrally stored templates. BE has been successfully deployed across ontario gaming facilities to identify gamblers requesting to be barred from entering the premises. The positive-sum PbD principle has also been successfully applied in a wide range of areas: road toll pricing, smart meters, whole-body image scanners, RFiD-enabled systems, geolocation-enabled services, and many other technologies and services.
The creation, recognition, and adoption of PETs as a means to achieve PbD operational goals is being actively promoted by the European Commission, not only as a major ongoing research funding initiative under the Framework Programme, but notably in the context of the EU review of, and proposed amendments to, the Data Protection Regulation.
Current work by international data protection authorities to define accountability is also establishing common definitions and best practices that help advance organizational PbD practices. similar work is also under way in international standards groups to define privacy implementation, assessment, and documentation methods. The preparation, use, and publication, whether mandatory, contractual, or voluntary, of privacy impact assessments and privacy management frameworks are also on the rise. We are seeing the growth of standardized privacy evaluation, audit, and assurance systems, innovative co-regulatory initiatives, certification seals and trust marks, and other criteria. Enhanced diligence and accountability measures
are consistent with the PbD emphasis on demonstrating results. The publication of successful case studies adds illustrative and educational value for others to emulate. Perhaps the most exciting chapters on achieving PbD results have yet to be written, as public policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic ocean actively propose weaving the PbD framework and principles into the fabric of revised privacy laws, and in strengthened systems of regulatory oversight—the best is yet to come.
Like privacy engineering, PbD teaches that privacy is also a business issue. The building of consumer trust will provide a competitive advantage. Just one data breach interferes with this trust. PbD, like privacy engineering, recognizes that both physical design and information technology design are crucial to develop an effective privacy program. The privacy designer needs to carefully construct physical security to protect the privacy of both data facilities and paper records. Information technology design can enhance privacy by the use of PETs (discussed in detail in Chapter 6) like a uniqueness identifier with no specific meaning and by utilizing encryption correctly. Security and privacy work together and do not work at cross purposes. It is important that privacy be embedded into the IT system as part of the design process, baked in so it will not interfere with the business purpose of the system but will actually enhance the business objectives.
Privacy engineering is a concept for which PbD is a facilitator. PbD provides valuable design guidelines that privacy engineers should follow. In turn, privacy engineering adds to and extends PbD. It provides a methodology and technical tools based on industry guidelines and best practices, including the Unified Modeling Language.
In the rest of this book, we will discuss the methodologies and the various modeling processes to develop privacy mechanisms that can be used independently or can be plugged into new and existing enterprise systems to enhance their ability to implement enterprise privacy policies.
This chapter explained how privacy and other data management frameworks overlap and can be leveraged as an overall governance framework for personal information.
Data management teams and privacy functions have common goals: the health, hygiene, and well-being of the data under their respective custodianship. While there may be different approaches to data management and different privacy frameworks, there are strong points of similarity that can be harmonized to arrive at a functional set of policies and requirements for an enterpise. Chapter 4 will discuss how these Privacy Policies are developed and how an organization's privacy policy can be coordinated as the "meta" document for use case requirements.
