|Getting started with Qpid
|Fri, 10 Jan 2014 18:07:38 GMT
Hi! So what do I need to get started? Proton only, or Proton + a broker like the C++ one? Or just Proton? Is the Dispatch Router optional? It is "built on Proton" ? Does it "include" Proton then? Is there any point in having the router and a broker? Whatwhatwhat? :) My point is, it would help if there were some kind of "Dummies guide" or "Getting Started" link on the web page. For those of us that have not done much practical work with of "queues", "brokers", "routers", "whatevers", the terminology makes little sense and getting along with the first steps are a little bit frustrating. Basically, I want to deliver messages with some kind payload, from A to B, or B to A - or even from A to all Bs - reliably, quickly, and some kind of automagic resume in case there is a network outage during the delivery, and a yummy API for my application (in C++ or PHP). Where to go next? - Tor Rune Skoglund, firstname.lastname@example.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Grant Burge 6/26Grant Burge is a fifth-generation Barossa Vigneron. Throughout his career, Grant has been one of the most respected and innovative forces in the Australian wine industry. The history of the Burge family and their long association with winemaking in the region can be traced back to March 1855, when noted tailor John Burge immigrated to the Barossa from Hillcot, near Pewsey in Wiltshire, England with his wife Eliza and their two sons. With help from his sons Meshach and Henry, John's farm flourished with wheat, sheep and viticulture. His eldest son Meshach continued the farming tradition and was a prominent community leader. He married Emma in the early 1900s and they had eight children. First-born Percival established the Wilsford Winery in 1916, beginning the Burge winemaking tradition. Percival had two sons, Noel and Colin, and Colin and his wife Nancy had one son, Grant. Following in the footsteps of his father and forefathers before him, Grant now carries the winemaking tradition into the 21st century.

1 WHITE PAPER Enforcing Enterprise-out Security for Cloud Servers By David McNeely Publication Date: March 2011 Cloud-based computing models offer the promise of a highly scalable compute infrastructure without having to acquire, install and maintain any additional hardware. However, implementing this new compute model using even the most trusted service providers requires a security solution that empowers IT to maintain control over user and network access to those hosted virtual machines. Security becomes even more important given the regulatory climate and audit pressures surrounding PCI, SOX, BASEL II and HIPAA. Centrify solves these difficult problems by providing an enterprise-out security enforcement approach that leverages existing Active Directory-based security policy enforcement and IPsecbased server and domain isolation. Together, these technologies enable rapid expansion of cloud compute capacity while still maintaining a secure environment. WP CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 1

Provide Enterprise-centric Single Sign-on Single Sign-on to the Operating Systems Single Sign-on to the Application Centrify Suite Overview Summary Additional Reading How to Contact Centrify Introduction The term Cloud Computing can mean many different things as there is a vast array of product and service offerings available on the market. Most analyst agree that there are three distinct types of Cloud Computing resources, Software as a Service (SaaS) with offerings such as WebEx or 2011 CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 2
3 Salesforce.com, Platform as a Service (PaaS) with offerings such as Amazon CloudFront or Google App Engine and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) such as Amazon EC2 or Rackspace Cloud. These different service offerings appeal to different organizations within the Enterprise for example the Sales organization may subscribe to Salesforce.com in order to use the hosted CRM functions of the service without having to worry about acquiring servers and software or building the solution in-house. In response to the increasingly dynamic needs of the business and ever increasing pressure to reduce costs, the hosted Infrastructure as a Service offerings have the potential to provide the Enterprise IT organization with infinitely expandable infrastructure on which to deliver their own services to the business. Irrespective of the business driver to leverage cloud computing systems, IT must ensure that any applications or services that they load on these hosted systems will be protected to the same and often higher standards than for existing internal applications. There are several challenges that need to be to overcome before cloud systems can be integrated into the Enterprise. As new cloud servers are created and turned on, IT must take control over the current security configuration such as the privileged accounts and the security policies on the system. Additionally, IT needs to enable their own staff to be able to login using individual accounts with appropriate privileges for the duties for that person s role. Security policies need to be established that control access and ensure that only authorized users can access these systems. Once user access is under control, any user actions will need to be recorded in order to both provide visibility into the activities on these offpremise systems as well as to prove to auditors that these systems have adequate protections to meet regulatory requirements, such as PCI-DSS requirements for applications supporting online payment transactions. Ultimately, these systems are deployed in order to support an application providing service to the business. End users who access these systems and applications will need a simple way to gain access, ideally seamlessly accessing the application without having to login again if they have already logged into their desktop or laptop on the Enterprise network. Centrify provides a comprehensive Enterprise security solution designed to automatically secure UNIX and Linux systems in order to enable their secured use in any environment including internal, Cloud and DMZ environments. Leveraging both Active Directory as well as IPsec based Server and Domain Isolation technologies for both Windows and UNIX/Linux systems enables secured use of these resources within Cloud environments. These systems are centrally secured, user access is controlled and they are isolated on the network from any untrusted communications. An Active Directory based security infrastructure additionally enables the Enterprise to leverage both existing IT processes 2011 CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 3
4 such as account and security policy administration as well as to enable their existing users to access these new resources with their current Active Directory accounts. The resulting environment enables the organization to extend their computing infrastructure out to cloud based systems leveraging their existing security infrastructure based on Active Directory. This document will provide guidance in five critical areas to address key security challenges that will help maximize success of cloud server projects by IT organizations: Automate Enterprise security controls on hosted systems Centralize account, access and privilege management Isolate hosted systems hardening network access Ensure visibility, accountability and audit on each system Provide Enterprise-centric Single Sign-on Step 1. Automate Enterprise Security Controls on Hosted Systems One of the first issues that needs to be addressed is based on the initial security settings embedded within the Cloud Servers that are typically created from templates provided by the service provider. These initial templates (for example, Amazon AMI images) will have a pre-defined security policy, which Enterprise IT must manage in order to establish their own security policies within the newly created cloud server. These pre-defined policies control several critical security settings such as who is allowed to authenticate, how they are allowed to access the system, which ports are accessible and most importantly how the privileged account is protected and who is allowed to run privileged commands. IT could create their own cloud server templates in order to use servers that have an initial baseline state that complies with corporate standards. In many cases however, it may be simpler to leverage an existing pre-built server template since the Operating System vendor will keep these up to date with the latest release and patches. But, there needs to be a simple and automated way to take over the control of the security of these systems to enable usage of these pre-built server templates. Automating Security Policy Enforcement One of the primary benefits of cloud computing is the dynamic nature of the environment in which compute capacity can scale near infinitely to support the growing demands of the business. However, in order to secure these systems, the security infrastructure must also be automated in order 2011 CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 4
5 to support the dynamic nature of these environments. For example, if a multi-tier customer facing application is deployed on a cloud infrastructure in order to take advantage of on-demand scaling based on demand, any new servers that are dynamically added to the application pool will need to be automatically secured as the instances are brought online and put into service. This scaling of an application can be quite dynamic and the security enforced will need to be inherently automatic to ensure that corporate security policies are enforced at all times. Agent-based Enforcement of Centralized Policies While there are many different methods an administrator may use to centrally define security policies through remote manipulation of each systems locally defined security policies, Centrify uses an agent based model that establishes a centralized directory as the authoritative source for the security policies that should be enforced. Centrify Suite leverages Active Directory to manage a common set of security policies that will be dynamically enforced on each system as they join into the security environment. Once joined to Active Directory, Centrify DirectControl automatically enforces UNIX and Linux specific security policies, locking down privileged accounts and granting authorized access to the appropriate Active Directory user accounts. This agent based approach to security policy enforcement supports massive scalability unlike other central management server approaches due to the agent s local policy decision and policy enforcement based on a centralized and widely distributed trusted policy repository. Figure 1: Cloud servers join Active Directory for enterprise security services 2011 CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 5
6 Cross-Forest Trust Leverages Existing User Accounts In order to provide independent management of external resources and yet maintain the ability to enable the enterprise user to access these resources with their existing accounts leverages another key feature of Active Directory, cross-forest trust. A new Active Directory forest should be configured to provide security management for the DMZ and Cloud Servers with a one-way trust relationship to the internal Active Directory infrastructure where internal user accounts are managed. This configuration allows security policies to be managed independently from the hosting provider, as well as enabling management for both cloud- or extranet-based systems. Additionally, the trust relationship between the Active Directory Forests will enable internal users to leverage their existing credentials and desktop login to access hosted resources where specific permission has been granted. Figure 2: One-way cross-forest trust Integration into Provisioning Process Regardless of how the cloud server is provisioned, once the Active Directory infrastructure is in place and policies defined, all new cloud servers configured with Centrify Suite to join Active Directory will automatically enforce a common security policy. Upon cloud server instance creation, either manually or through a provisioning system, the server is immediately joined to Active Directory through automated Centrify provisioning processes in order to establish a secured relationship between the new cloud server and the Active Directory domain. This provides the security foundation required to secure these new dynamic resources for production use. Enforcing Enterprise Security Policies Enterprise use of hosted systems requires enforcement of several security policies in order to ensure that Enterprise IT has proper controls over the 2011 CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 6
7 access and use of those hosted systems, at least in those hosting environments where IT management has not been outsourced. Some of the more important security policies that should be defined and automatically enforced upon system join to Active Directory are listed below. A trust relationship is established with the Active Directory Machine PKI certificate are automatically issued and renewed in order to provide a strong credential for trusted system identification. System access security policies are centrally managed and locally enforced Host-based iptables firewall policies are enforced to block access to ports that should not be used based on the system s role. Host-based ipsec transport mode authentication, authorization and encryption policies are enforced to grant access to trusted systems as required by the system s role. OpenSSH security policies are enforced to deny root login and drop inactive sessions to ensure that only authorized users access the system. Access and Privilege management is centrally controlled Service accounts such as root and oracle are linked to AD accounts for centralized management and password policy enforcement. Authorized users are granted access permissions and privileges as appropriate to their Role. Users are required to login with individual identities, preventing login with generic accounts to ensure accountability. Account management is centrally managed within AD to ensure proper access termination across all systems for users who no longer have a valid account CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 7
8 Figure 3: Group Policies are automatically enforced The automated enforcement of all these policies provides an environment in which new systems can be brought online to provide additional capacity without worrying about the security of the overall environment, as each system will automatically enforce a common security policy. There is also no dependency upon a centralized configuration management process or server other than the availability of at least one Domain Controller to service the Domain to which these systems have been joined, and even this infrastructure has been designed to be highly fault tolerant, as most customers will deploy several servers for redundancy. The benefit is that automated enforcement enables IT to focus on delivering highly scalable business services leveraging the elasticity of hosted compute environments with the assurance that business-critical security policies will be automatically enforced for every new system that is initialized into their cloud. Step 2. Centralize Account, Access and Privilege Management Cloud Servers are typically created and terminated dynamically based on workload of the overall system or application being deployed. This creates a highly dynamic life cycle where an identity and access management solution must also operate in an on-demand mode in order to enable IT Staff and End Users with appropriate access and privileges CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 8
9 Take Over Control of Existing Privileged Accounts The privileged account within each cloud server provides full control over the security of that server, therefore it is very important to take over control of these special accounts as soon as possible. Cloud servers are deployed by launching a copy of a server template or image, which will have a pre-defined root account and password and in some cases another pre-defined user account that has full privileges on the system. In either case the Enterprise IT must take over control of these accounts since they have an initial password and security configuration that is common across the hosting environment, meaning that all other customers who use that image know the initial password. Centrify Suite leverages both Active Directory and Zones to provide access control as well as a role-based privilege management model to ensure that the appropriate Enterprise users are granted access and privileges only where needed based on their role. In order to lock down existing local privileged accounts that are built into these cloud servers, Centrify provides a policy to map these local accounts to Active Directory accounts such that upon join to Active Directory the password will then become centrally managed. After the local privileged accounts have been linked to Active Directory, any attempts to login to these privileged accounts will require authentication using the password of the Active Directory account it is linked to. This policy enforcement then enables the Enterprise to take over control of the local privileged accounts automatically simply by joining the system to Active Directory where the Group Policies will be immediately applied to the system. Figure 4: Mapping root to an Active Directory User account 2011 CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 9
10 Lockdown Privileged Access Within some of the hosting environments that security policy controlling access to the privileged account is linked to an ssh key-based access control system as the root account does not have a password. In this model, the hosting provider has established a security policy to control access to any newly created cloud server instances by linking the server s ssh access control policy to the customer s account within the hosting environment so that a private key is required in order to access any servers created by the customer. This solution works quite well for smaller organizations where only a few administrators need to access the servers as they can simply share the ssh private keys. However in larger organizations with several administrators who need access, an access control or key management system is required in order to ensure that access can be controlled for each individual user. Centrify provides a solution to lock down these privileged accounts as well as to control access at the SSH interface through tight integration with Active Directory. Through this integration with Active Directory and leveraging it s built-in Kerberos infrastructure, Centrify enables the use of Kerberos tickets for ssh clients to provide mutual authentication and enable authorized users to access the system seamlessly. An additional side benefit to the users who access the server is that if they have logged into their desktop workstation using their Active Directory credentials, they will be able to access the hosted servers without having to supply their userid or password, eg. single sign-on. Grant Access Only to Authorized Users In addition to taking control of the privileged accounts, it is important to ensure that users cannot log into the system with these privileged accounts and instead that they log into the system with their own individual account. These users will also need to be granted access based on the role of both the server as well as the user. For example if the server is providing database functions, then most likely the only users who need access are IT staff who provide support functions such as the system administrators, database administrators and help desk personnel. If the server is providing web services for an application, then both IT staff as well as end users will need various levels of access based on their role. Centrify Suite leverages Active Directory user accounts as well as groups in order to manage the access controls for a given system or a group of systems also called a Zone. This model enables IT to leverage existing administrative processes in order to simplify the management of the access policies for these new resources. Additionally, one of the primary benefits of using the existing Active Directory infrastructure is the ability to 2011 CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 10
11 leverage existing user account management processes such as new user account creation, password management, group membership and user account termination, all of which can be reused to control access to these new cloud servers. Provide Privileges Based on Role Most of the roles within IT will require some level of privileged access in order to carry out their duties on the servers that they are responsible for. While it is very common to simply grant full administrative rights to each person in IT, most of the job functions only require privileges to execute a limited set of commands. For example a web site administrator or developer will need elevated privileges in order to edit the web server configuration files and to start/stop/restart the web server, however he does not need full privileges that would enable him to create backdoor accounts or to change the firewall rules or other access controls on the server. Ideally, each role within IT would be granted a specific set of privileges based on the job duties that are required. Then each person within IT would be assigned the appropriate privileges they require on the specific set of servers on which they need to work. While many organizations use sudo to provide privileges to the appropriate administrators, often it is used to grant full administrative privileges due to the difficulty of managing a more complex and granular policy. Centrify Suite provides both a centralized management for sudo based on Group Policy enforcement as well as DirectAuthorize which provides a more granular and dynamic privilege elevation solution. DirectAuthorize enforces a centralized policy held within Active Directory which defines which commands a specific Role is allowed to execute, which interfaces that Role is authorized to log into as well as restricting the shell via white listed environment where necessary. Users or groups can be assigned these Roles as they grant privileges across individual computers or groups of computers on a permanent or temporary basis CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 11
12 Figure 5: Privileges are granted to users and groups via Roles The resulting environment enables centrally managed privileges to be granted to users in specific roles as they login to any of the newly created cloud servers that have joined Active Directory. This solution enables access and privilege management to be completely automated based on the new cloud server s trusted relationship with Active Directory, no other local system management is required in order to: take over the password for the local privileged accounts lock down privileged access require users to login with their own unique identities grant specific elevated privileges where required based on job duties Step 3. Isolate Hosted Systems Hardening Network Access There are many different hosting models available to choose from for Infrastructure as a Service ranging from virtual servers by the hour in a multi-tenant hosting environment to a virtual private data center in a dedicated hosting environment. With this wide range of offerings there are several different ways that these servers can be inter-connected to the 2011 CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 12
13 Enterprise. Typically the cloud servers will be assigned at least one private IP address to support communications between servers within the cloud and in many cases they will also be provided a public IP address. And since these servers are hosted in a multi-tenant environment, the Enterprise will need to provide additional controls to ensure that only authorized communication is allowed to these new servers. Centrify Suite provides automatic policy enforcement of firewall policies which are enforced on each new cloud server as it is created. Additionally, IT will need to ensure that any data in transit between these new cloud servers and any internal systems servers is protected. Centrify Suite also provides an identity-based server and domain isolation technology that enables secured peer-to-peer communications to be established between systems after authenticating each other via strong host-based credentials. This provides the foundation for hardening network access as well as ensuring that communications is only provided to trusted systems within the Enterprise. Harden Network Access Most hosting providers will enable IT to manage the security firewall rules that are provided within both the hosting environment as well as the hostbased firewall built into the guest operating system. However, IT needs to ensure that these policies are managed and provide for adequate protection of the new cloud servers. Firewalls within the hosting environment are designed to enable the Enterprise to control which ports should or should not be accessible from outside the hosted guest server. These can provide the appropriate controls to prevent access on specific ports, but should not be trusted to grant limited access to the hosted system based on IP addresses in a virtualized environment. While hosting providers implement controls to prevent network scanning and spoofing of IP addressed, a stronger authentication mechanism is required to ensure that only trusted systems are able to communicate with servers holding more sensitive information. In order to provide impenetrable defenses on each of the guest servers, IPsec provides for authentication policies to control access to trusted systems such that only authenticated connections are allowed from other trusted systems. IPsec can be configured to require strong authentication using Kerberos tickets or PKI certificates for mutual authentication between trusted hosts. Centrify Suite provides a Group Policy managed network security solution to both manage the built-in iptables-based firewall as well as the built-in IPsec stack on each of the hosted Linux servers. The iptables firewall Group Policy centralizes management of port level access controls to the hosted server, granting access to ports that should be open and denying access where those ports would pose a security risk. For communication ports that should only be used for private communications, IPsec is 2011 CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 13
14 configured via Group Policy to provide server isolation that is interoperable with Microsoft Windows server and domain isolation security policies. This enables the Enterprise to define a common set of policies that both Windows and Linux will enforce, requiring mutual authentication of Enterprise issued strong credentials prior to network communications. This configuration will prevent communications from un-trusted systems since they will not be able to authenticate. Additionally, if the server is required to enable communications to untrusted systems, such as to serve web site content publicly, then the policy can be configured to protect all ports except for the http/https ports as required on that server. Figure 6: Server Isolation through strong authentication The combination of these two policies enable the Enterprise to centrally define and enforce a common policy on every system that is created in the cloud, thus ensuring that the system is sufficiently protected and that they are in control of which systems can communicate to the new servers based on trusted host identities CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 14
15 Establish Trusted Communications With The Enterprise Given that there are several different Enterprise uses of Cloud Servers, there are a number of different ways for these servers to be accessed by the Enterprise. In some cases the machines will provide Internet facing services with public IP addresses which the Enterprise will use when communicating with these servers. However in other cases the servers will operate as an extension of the corporate enterprise where internal systems will need to communicate with the hosted servers but depending on the use case the hosted server may or may not need to initiate communications with other internal systems. In order to determine which communication method is best, it is important to clearly define the intended use case of the hosted server. Cloud servers are almost always provided with private IP addresses in order to facilitate intra-cloud communications between hosted servers. This has the added benefit that the hosted server cannot be accessed from the Internet directly unless the system is either configured with an additional public IP address or specific ports from one of the hosting provider s public IP address are forwarded to the hosted system. This configuration may provide the connectivity needed where management is performed through hosting provider specific management interfaces or directly through specific ports that are forwarded. However this limited connectivity may not provide the desired level of direct communication or management. In order to provide customers with direct management capabilities, some hosting providers will configure each cloud server with both a private IP address for intra-cloud server-to-server communications as well as a public IP address to enable external access to the new cloud server. In this scenario, it is even more important to secure the interfaces to the cloud server to ensure that access is controlled granting access only to those who really need to communicate with the server as described in the previous section. Cloud servers configured with public IP addresses can more easily support direct access by trusted enterprise systems if the communications is initiated from other Enterprise resources which may be located within the corporate network. Several hosting providers offer an optional virtual private connectivity to enable hosted systems to communicate privately with the Enterprise. These virtual private connections are typically created by establishing a host-to-network or network-to-network VPN tunnel. These VPN tunnel connections enable hosted systems with private IP addresses to be able to communicate privately with the Enterprise network to which it is attached. While a private tunnel provide secured connectivity, it also has a few side effects which may not be desired such as the routing of all cloud server communications over the private tunnel regardless of the intended recipient of the communications. These private tunnels are network 2011 CENTRIFY CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 15
16 oriented vs. packet or conversation centric which forces traffic intended for an external browser to be routed through the local Enterprise network where the tunnel is terminated vs. simply being routed to the Internet through the hosting providers high bandwidth connections. Additionally, a network-to-network connections adds risk which must be accounted for in service level contracts with the hosting provider since the Enterprise will need to trust the hosting provider to not assign these private network IP addresses to any other customer s hosted systems. The Enterprise needs a more flexible solution that enables private connectivity between cloud systems and the enterprise based on the authenticated identities of system for each packet that is communicated. This enables both the assurance that the hosted systems are only communicating with trusted systems as well as the flexibility that communications can be configured independent of the physical network infrastructure being used. This network independent secured connectivity is provided for each packet enabling traffic to be routed directly to the recipient. This means that a web server that is serving up a web site can be configured to communicate with other public browsers leveraging the hosting providers Internet connections, while simultaneously enabling secured, packet by packet, communications with other Enterprise systems for any other required traffic. This solution is provided by Centrify DirectSecure that leverages IPsec in a Transport Mode to ensure security of each individual packet between trusted systems CENTRIFY CORPORATION.

Looking at Tim Kruger's cock, there's no doubt that it's big. But I never fully appreciate it until I see some poor cocksucker trying to swallow that thing. After some tender kissing in this Tim Tales video, Kruger lies back and Pedro Diaz opens very wide and starts stuffing this monster dick down his throat. I can't believe how wide his mouth is stretching. And then watching Diaz lying back on Tim with the top's arms wrapped around him, Diaz is in heaven with the German's huge hard-on plunging in and out of his ass, and well, it just makes a bottom like me almost cry.

Wont let me chose a list for Mail chimp integrationsAsked by richiecon84gmailcom on August 24, 2015 at 07:39 AM
I am trying to have a form send the contact details to mailchimp through an integration, but It will not allow me to chose a list after I add the API code. See attached.

I've tested to integrate Mailchimp to one of my JotForms and it seems to be working fine at my end.

Perhaps there are very few things which may disgust or agitate one person as such hearing someone ridicule or make fun of somebody else's physical appearances. It is inconceivable, not only by me, but by many sane likeminded individuals how a meager human who has been made by the same God that made them, who they ridicule, can have the audacity to ridicule somebody else based on their physical appearance. In my opinion these ignorant ridiculers are actually ridiculing the way that God has made that man, either knowingly or unknowingly.
It is highly unfortunate that such a practice is common everywhere across the world; however, by what I have come across, it seems to be more prevalent in the Arab or Gulf societies. I may be wrong, but this is view, has been derived from spending a lot of time in the region interacting with a lot of natives and expatriates who themselves have been living in the Kingdom since long periods of time. It seems that everywhere you go in the Gulf region or Arab world; you will find people openly making fun of how somebody else looks, based on their facial features, age, height or weight. As said before this practice is quite common all over the world and not only in Arab countries.
Simply stated, mocking somebody else based on how they look, is against the common basic ethics which ought to be instilled in us, as human beings. In some of the western countries, such acts are considered to be part of racial discrimination, and hence those involved in these activities can also be legally charged and sentenced or fined. Maybe this is the main reason behind the sharp decline of this act in the western countries. If this were true, which it may be, and then what it essentially means is that making it illegal of ridiculing somebody else based on their looks, is what has made the western society more open, liberal and generally accepting of people of all colors, shapes and sizes.
In the Arab region however it seems to be a highly enjoyable act, something which is not to be proud of. Whether it be the more religious minded people, or those people who seem to be flag bearers of western liberalism in non western countries, indulge in these acts openly. It seems mocking others based on their looks has no religious or mindset specification. These people, in my view, are involved in ridiculing others based on the physical attributes and features bestowed upon that person by Allah, because they know that there is no repercussion, at least not in this world, and they can get away with such acts with great ease.
What might surprise you is that literature throughout the history of this region has been filled with examples of how 2 or more poets are ridiculing each others. This is prevalent in many of the western music as well, as artists and singers often use clever use of words to send ridiculing messages to the other artists.

Author Revealed
Q. Is there a book you love to reread?
A. As a parent, I have reread many of my favorite children's books (that I'd read over and over again as a child), and still really enjoy some of them now: "The Chronicles of Narnia" (except for "The Final Battle"), "James and the Giant Peach" and "The Patchwork Girl of Oz," for example. Have also loved discovering Harry Potter with my kids and have read those more than once.
Q. What is your favorite movie?
A. I am sucker for Biblical epics like "Ben-Hur" and classroom dramas (ie, "To Sir With Love."), but perhaps my favorite movie of all time is "Cyrano de Bergerac" with Depardieu. I love almost anything with the Marx Brothers, Humphrey Bogart, and James Stewart... and I can't resist the charms of Indiana Jones.
Q. What is your favorite television show?
A. DVDs have made watching series a real pleasure... or an addiction? "Deadwood," "The Wire" and "The Sopranos" are all favorites. And my all-time fave girl-hero, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
Q. What was/is your favorite job?
A. Writing! (Though I did have a lot of laughs when my best friends and I all worked at the same burger joint in High School).

Salem's lot by Stephen King. :)
The Modern Prometheus, by Mary Shelley. You would know it more commonly as "Frankenstein" however.
Never got into Bram Stoker, but I did enjoy reading Dracula to some extent...
And just about anything by Poe or Lovecraft.
I happen to love (pastawise) The Russian Sleep Experiment. :)

Very knowledgeable about the body. Very happy to have found him. He is able to see where issues originate in the muscles and then uses perfect pressure to relieve the tension.
A Phenomenal Healer
Jeanie B - Jun 19, 2017
A session with Thomas is like seeing the doctor, the physical therapist and massage therapist all in one. At the start, he will ask for your verbal assessment of any changes from last time, or if new, if there is a specific part of your body that should receive extra focus...and, he listens! Burdened with arthritis, he does a great job of relieving the pain. I feel very privileged he is part of my health care circle.
intelligent, sophisticated bodywork
Julie McGuinness - Apr 30, 2017
Thomas practices a blend of advanced modalities - his bodywork is informed by knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology which is effortlessly integrated with his touch. Best of all, the work is effective! I will be back, if I can find an open spot in his schedule - thanks Thomas!
Seeing Thomas is part of my self-care
meredith p. - Mar 9, 2017
Between the maddening things going on in the world, my mother's death and losing my job, I have been a ball of stress. If not for Thomas, I doubt I would be able to turn my head! This is the one place where I don't scrimp on myself and he is worth every penny. He knows what he is doing, and his calm and gentle manner belies his strength. I always leave feeling calmer and taller.
Kind, knowledgeable, engaged expert
Audrey Kral - Mar 6, 2017
Thomas knows the art and science of massage, bringing thorough knowledge to the intuitive craft of massage therapy that really heals. I have been to many body workers and have a massage certificate myself. Highly recommend him!!!

Critic's Corner By Robert Bianco

•HBO adds to TV's late-night comedy collection tonight with the debut of Funny or Die Presents (HBO, 11:59 ET/PT). Will Ferrell is one of the producers of this show, based on the similarly named website.
•Movie fans who can't wait for the Oscars can get an early taste from The British Academy Film Awards (BBC America, Sunday, 8 ET/PT). BAFTA's "Best Film" nominees sound familiar: Avatar, An Education, The Hurt Locker, Precious, Up in the Air.
•Here's sort-of good news for those who miss HBO's undervalued series The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. You're not getting new episodes Sunday, but you are getting another chance to see star Jill Scott, who heads up the Lifetime Movie Network film Sins of the Mother (8 ET/PT). She plays a reformed alcoholic who tries to reconnect with her daughter in this film version of the novel Orange Mint and Honey.
•Former Angel star Julie Benz goes from being dead on Dexter to being very much alive on Desperate Housewives (ABC, Sunday, 9 ET/PT). She plays a former exotic dancer whom Susan takes into her home — much to the dismay of Lynette, who's worried about her teenage sons.

Used 2004 Saturn Coupe Values
For 2004, two products in the Saturn vehicle lineup receive the benefits of enhanced power. Introduced in 2003, the fresh-looking Saturn Ion range receives an all-new performance model. Only available with the Saturn Ion Quad Coupe, the Red Line trim contains 17-inch wheels, sport suspension and most importantly a potent 205-horsepower supercharged engine. On the 2004 Saturn Vue compact sport utility, a new 3.5-liter V-6 engine and transmission supplied by Honda delivers 250 horsepower while also providing improved fuel economy. The new top-end powerplant was among several changes to the 2004 Vue that also included retuned power steering and a restyled interior. For V-6 powered Saturn Vue models, Red Line debuted with 18-inch wheels and a sport-tuned suspension. For 2004, sedan and wagon versions of the L-Series has been simply redefined as the L300.

Bullying isn't just an issue for managers to deal with behind closed doors. Everyone in the workplace has a role to play when it comes to spotting and calling out inappropriate behaviour.
We all have the right to work in a safe, bully-free workplace, but on the flipside is our responsibility to ensure our colleagues enjoy that same right.
What you can do to help:
Many people who are bullied think that as long as they avoid the person who is bullying them, or if they just don't respond to the bullying, it might go away. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case.
We've put together some proactive steps to help you protect yourself and address the issue.
One of the best things you can do is talk to someone in the workplace that you trust. They can provide an objective perspective and may offer views or options that you hadn't considered. Having a support person to help you through the situation is also really useful. This might be your workplace HR officer, a manager or a trusted colleague.
Check whether your workplace has a bullying policy and reporting procedure. Your supervisor, manager or HR officer will be able to tell you about what's in place.
If you feel safe and comfortable doing so, calmly tell the other person you object to their behaviour and ask them to stop. This also gives the person an opportunity to change their behaviour if they weren't aware it was causing distress. You could ask for support from your health and safety representative, union representative or supervisor.
You can report workplace bullying by:
Ensure your records include the names of the people involved, including any witnesses. Focus on the facts including what happened, when it happened, what you did to try and stop it (if anything) and any evidence (i.e. emails, social media posts).
If you're unable to resolve the situation internally, a number of organisations can help.
Workplace bullying can affect people in a number of ways. If you have been a target of workplace bullying and you feel that your health and wellbeing is being affected make an appointment to talk to your doctor or counsellor, or contact the beyondblue Support Service
If you have been assaulted, or fear for your physical safety you may want to consider contacting the police.
When we see a colleague being mistreated, we'd all like to think that we'd step in and tell the person to stop. However, it's not always that simple. You might not feel comfortable intervening if the person behaving badly is in a senior position, for example – you may feel powerless or worry about how it might affect you. But even if you don't say anything directly or immediately, you shouldn't remain a silent witness.
Unfortunately, many people will encounter bullying at work. It's up to everyone in the workplace to take a stand, to prevent it happening again or to somebody else.
Being accused of bullying can be upsetting and comes as a shock for some people. It's important to be open to feedback from others, and to be prepared to change your behaviour.
If someone approaches you about your behaviour, try to remain calm. Listen carefully and ask questions if you're unclear about anything that has caused offence or you think there's been a misunderstanding.
Apologise and – here's the most important bit – stop the behaviour that's causing the issue. You might think it's 'only a joke' or that the other person should be able to 'handle it', but the reality is that you're causing offence and distress.
If you believe you're being unfairly accused, you should discuss this with your manager or HR officer. In many cases an informal discussion between you, the person making the allegation and a third party will resolve the issue.
Being accused of bullying can be stressful and may affect your health and wellbeing. Talking to someone confidentially can help. Employee Assistance Programs (if your workplace has one) are a good place to start, or check in with a counsellor or your GP.
