Gardai investigating after man car-jacked going to meet online woman
Gardai are investigating the circumstances surrounding an armed robbery and car-jacking which happened in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Officers in Dundalk, Louth are appealing for witnesses to the robbery, which occurred at Boyd's car park on the Long Walk.
The victim said he scheduled a late-night meeting in the vicinity with a woman he'd previously met online.
However, he was approached by a man - believed to be in his 30s - who was armed with a knife.
The 38-year-old man was forced to empty his pockets before the perpetrator demanded the keys to his vehicle.
The robber continued to threaten the victim until he forced him to explain how to put the automatic 4X4 vehicle into gear. He then fled the scene in the vehicle with an iPhone and a sum of cash.
The vehicle was recovered in the Oakland Park area at around 4.30pm yesterday afternoon.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am planning on buying a home. My need to break my lease is two fold. I now live in a 2 story town house. I have had 5 spinal fusion surgeries, An artificial hip, severe osteoporosis, osteoarthritis in my knee. I need to be living in a one story,because climbing up & down stairs has become very difficult without pain. So I would like to purchase a home to get the one story. I have lived here a little over a year. My last spine surgery was 04-2012. I felt I had no choice but to renew my lease in May,due to the fact I was in no shape to even think about moving. My health is deterioting, & not having to climb stairs would be much easier on my body. Thankyou for your time.
It is not a "crime" to break a lease. In fact, we are all free to break any contract we enter into at any time. The question is, what damages does the non-breaching experience when you breach your lease? Without going into too much detail, if you decide to break your lease, the landlord has to attempt to keep his "damages" as low as possible. To do that, he/she has to go out and try to find a new tenant as soon as possible. If the rent paid by the new tenant is equal to or greater than the rent you are paying, then, in fact, the landlord is better off! Meanwhile, while the house is vacant, the landlord is entitled to continue to receive rent payments from you. Added to this is the uncertainty as to when you will end up finding a new home to move to. So, my non-legal advice is to see if your landlord will agree to allow you to have an early termination right, with perhaps you giving the landlord 30/60/90 days advance notice so that they have time to find a new tenant?

Will Downton Abbey be made into a musical? Plus Motown The Musical has hit West End's Shaftesbury Theatre and you DON'T want to miss it!
Picture 1 of 11
Long before the days of Poldark and Victoria, Downton Abbey entered our lives & made a lasting impact! We already knew the show will be a film. Now, the hit costume period drama is taking its turn on the stage. Creator Julian Fellowes is reportedly thinking about turning the ITV show into West End musical. However, sadly for fans the move from screen to stage would mean a change of cast as Fellowes claims the original cast "can't sing". So no appearance from Damn Maggie Smith unfortunately. Boo.

Emily, the seven- year-old narrator, was born blind and all of her visions come from a place of pure imagination. The 60-second spot titled "Emily's Oz" comes out of agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners New York and promotes Comcast-owned Xfinity's first talking guide, one of its services for the visually-impaired and a product of its Accessibility Lab. The ad will premiere during this Sunday's Oscars telecast -- one of the biggest entertainment events of the year -- and may prompt people to wonder how those with disabilities experience film and television. Viewers will be directed to EmilysOz.com, where a short documentary about Emily and her version of vision lives. Rate this Ad You must be registered to rate the ad.

"Hi, you know there are many things in life that you can do with your spare time or other resources that are at your disposal to help out in this crazy world.
I recently assisted a soccer team of boys and girls by providing uniforms for their team.
These young kids have been given a challenge to play soccer and stay out of the malls and stores and allows them to enjoy life and work toward building their social skills and team building abilities.
Wouldn't it be great if we who have the resources could help organizations help these kids stay active and busy throughout their summers and spare time,instead of having nowhere to go and nothing to do.
If you read this think about whether you have the time or the resources to help out.
I did and I know how much joy it brings me to see the smiles on the face of these boys and girls. Lets all pitch in and make a difference in so many lives."

Of all the things claimed about Gordon Brown's preferred method of
ballot rigging electoral reform, Alternative Vote (AV), perhaps the most misleading is the suggestion that it would eliminate tactical voting. Chris Huhne, for example, explaining why the change would represent "a small step in the right direction":
AV will end "tactical" voting, whereby people vote for their second preference party to block the party they dislike most. It will allow everyone to vote for who they want, secure in the knowledge that if their preferred candidate has no chance and is eliminated in the count, their second and third preferences will be used for someone else. The process of elimination and counting goes on until someone has at last half of the votes in the constituency.
AV is therefore better because voters have more choice, and can honestly support who they want.
In fact, far from meaning the end of tactical voting, AV would institutionalise it. It is tactical voting erected into a formal system. The greater "choice" it provides, moreover, is entirely illusory, and thus AV represents a con on the public.
After all, what is a second preference vote, in a constituency where your first preference is not one of the two leading contenders, if not a tactical vote? When your preferred candidate is eliminated, your vote - all of it - will be given to someone else still in the race. This will usually be the person you would have voted for tactically, if you were so minded, under the current system of first past the post. But whereas under the present system a tactical vote is the result of a conscious choice - its meaning is that you would prefer to see another candidate lose than your preferred candidate win - under the proposed AV system it would be the default option. For many people, their tactical vote would be their main vote.
Except that they might not be fully aware that what they were doing was voting tactically. To them, it would seem like they were expressing a second preference - whereas the arithmetics of their constituency dictates that their second choice is in fact their "real" vote. This is what is meant by saying that AV ensures that votes aren't "wasted". Under AV, the winning candidate will often have won through a combination of first- and second-preference votes (and in some cases third- and fourth- preference votes) and will thus appear to have a majority. But the first-preference votes will be enthusiastic; the second-preference votes may well be grudging; the third and fourth-preference votes may be casual or even ironic. All will count equally.
This is part of the reason why AV tends to increase majorities. In 1997 and 2001, the system would have led to Labour majorities (based on around 40% of the total vote, in the latter year on an extremely low turnout) that were not merely huge but crushing. Even in 2005, when a tepid 35% backed Labour, the party would probably have romped home with more seats than it actually won. AV only "saves" wasted votes at the expense of enlarging the most objectionable feature of first past the post, its tendency towards democratically-unjustified majorities. It is even possible for the winning party, in terms of national share of the vote, to be defeated by second-preference tactical voting, leading to a second-choice party winning a majority of seats. That would be a less democratic result than anything thrown up by FPTP.
There's only one way to counteract this defect in AV - and that's by voting tactically. Conscious tactical voting under AV is much more of a headache than under FPTP, but the principle remains the same: to ensure the defeat of your least favoured candidate. Under AV, any would-be tactical voter has to work out where each candidate's second preferences are likely to fall.
Say you're a Tory who could live with a Lib Dem but hates the thought of a Labour MP. It's a three-way marginal, but with Labour likely to gain the most first preferences. If the Lib Dem is eliminated, you guess, the majority of their votes would be redistributed in favour of Labour (and vice versa). If the Conservative is eliminated, very few of their votes would go to Labour, but rather more would go to the Lib Dems. To avoid a Labour victory, you should vote Lib Dem as your first preference: the object being to avoid the Lib Dem being eliminated before the Tory, thus ensuring the redistribution doesn't favour Labour. On the same principle, Labour voters ought to vote Conservative.
That sounds like a mad system to me. Madder than the one we've got at the moment, even.


text: I have some users who create a VPN tunnel to the network when they travel. The VPN endpoint passes their VPN logon credentials to the domain IAS server (Internet Authentication Server) which then either allows the VPN router to connect them to the domain via VPN, or deny them access. Once on the VPN, I need to have their machine run their standard Group Policies logon scripts - most of the logon scripts are standard VB drive mappings, some in loopback processing mode. (even if I could get just the user side GP setting applied it would be acceptable.) Darren - if this is specifically addressed in one of your books, just tell me and I will go buy it (please reference a title, page number, and ISBN # there is a Barnes and Noble down the street) - Or if Jeremy Moskowitz is listening, I bought your book, tell me what to look under to find my solution. I'm not trying to freeload information - even if someone can give me some key words to Google for this I would be appreciative. End Result: I need my end result to be that they get all their GP based mapped drives upon logging into the VPN. They get one set of mapped drives by default, but then get other mapped drives depending on what hardware they are on (pc or laptop) and these are the mapped drives that are passed down in loopback processing mode because laptops are in one OU, while pc's are in another. I haven't seen a Microsoft method to run a script upon VPN connection to our network. I've looked at the "dial-in" tab in ADU&C, and also tried to see if there was a method to accomplish this with a connection policy in IAS. I feel as if I'm left having to create a WMI script that says something to the effect - if connected to a 15.15.15.x network then run this script at c:\scripts\vpnmappings.vbs If all of this is absolutely impossible, then can someone tell me how to make a "persistent" mapped drive when using VBScript? My logons currently use a VB script but they are not persistently mapped. Mark Mills

- "If you can make God bleed, people will cease to believe in him, and there will be blood in the water and the sharks will come. All I have to do is sit here and watch as the world will consume you."
- ―Ivan Vanko to Tony Stark
Ivan Antonovich Vanko was a Russian physicist and the son of the disgraced scientist Anton Vanko. When Vanko's father died penniless due to the actions of Howard Stark, Vanko swore revenge against Stark's own son, Tony Stark and the whole Stark family for the ruin and humiliation suffered by him and his father during his whole life. Designing similar armor to Iron Man in order to publicly defeat him and destroy the reputation of his family. Although his first attempt failed and he was arrested, Vanko eventually joined forces with Justin Hammer, who recruited him to build the Hammer Drones which Vanko stole in another attempt of Stark's life until he was finally defeated by the combined efforts of War Machine and Iron Man. In a final bid, Vanko sacrificed himself in a desperate attempt to destroy the Stark legacy.
Early Life
Selling Weapons
Ivan Vanko was the son of Anton Vanko, a Russian physicist who helped Howard Stark design the Arc Reactor, but was deported from the United States when Howard Stark accused him of espionage. Ivan was also convicted of selling Soviet-era weapons-grade plutonium to Pakistan and served 15 years in Kopeisk prison. Anton Vanko fell into poverty and alcoholism, and also abused his son for many years due to the humiliation caused to him personally by Stark. Ivan became knowledgeable in the fields of physics and mechanical sciences, and adopted his father's hatred for the Stark family.[1]
Becoming Whiplash
Creating the Suit
- "The true history of Stark name will be written. What your father did to my family over 40 years, I will do to you in 40 minutes."
"Sounds good. Let's get together and hash it out."
- ―Ivan Vanko and Tony Stark
As living in their broken home, Vanko cared for his father Anton Vanko as he became older and more frail as their many years in exile went on. While watching the news footage of Tony Stark, the son of their enemy Howard Stark, confessing to the world to being the famous superhero Iron Man, Anton called for his son to come help him eat his dinner.
As he ate, Anton apologized to his son for not allowing Ivan to be in Stark's position, noting that it should be him there as the CEO of Stark Industries. Vanko told his father not to think about this but his father kept speaking, reminding him that all he could now give him due to having no money was his vast knowledge before passing away. Seeing his father lying dead caused Vanko to take a large drink of Vodka before screaming into the air in mournful rage.
With his father now dead, Ivan Vanko focused his efforts in achieving his father's greatest wish. With this in mind he began work on a replica of the Arc Reactor based on his father's and Howard Stark's designs from the eighties. Vanko designed and constructed an exoskeleton with two electrified whips which could cut through almost anything, powered by a miniature Arc Reactor, to use against Tony Stark in an aggressive effort to discredit and kill him, thus securing revenge for his father. Vanko's overall aim was to bring down the Stark Industries' credibility forever, mirroring what he felt Howard Stark had done to his father decades before.
With his Whiplash Armor: Mark I now constructed and ready for battle, Vanko prepared to find and kill Stark in a public space. In a snow storm in the centre of Russia, Vanko met with an agent of one of Stark's other enemies, the Ten Rings terrorist organisation, who gave Vanko a ticket to Circuit de Monaco, which Stark would be attending. Vanko travelled to Monaco and disguised himself as a member of the pit-crew to get close enough to his target.[1]
Duel of Monaco
- "You lose Stark, you lose!"
- ―Ivan Vanko to Tony Stark
Using his ticket given to him by the Ten Rings, Vanko arrived at the Monaco Grand Prix during the race and then disguised himself as a mechanic, with his Whiplash Armor: Mark I hidden under his clothes while he explored the racetrack searching for his target. When Vanko learned that Tony Stark would now be racing a car in the Grand Prix, Vanko knew that this would prove to be the perfect time to attack and finally kill the man whose father had destroyed his own family's legacy.
Vanko stepped into the race track of the Monaco Grand Prix, ripping open his shirt and using his Whiplash harness to crash and destroy several cars in the race, including Stark's. Since Stark was without his armor and was therefore nearly defenceless, Vanko took his time to try to murder him, walking up to the car and enjoying the moment before cutting the car in half. Stark continued however to prove to be adaptable to his new environments, tricking Vanko several times and escaping his blows. Having escaped from his car, Stark attempted to knock Vanko out, but despite all his best efforts, Vanko's weaponry seemed to be Stark's downfall, as he was unable to defend himself from the deadly whips which Vanko swung at him.
Before Vanko could exact his own final revenge, Happy Hogan and Pepper Potts drove into the fight and crashed into Vanko, pinning him to the wall and briefly taking him out of the fight. While Vanko attempted to escape by cutting the car to pieces, Potts eventually managed to give Stark an armor concealed in a suitcase. Now fully prepared for the battle, Stark fought Whiplash and although he struggled to defend himself against the deadly electric whips, which Vanko managed to wrap around Stark's neck.
Despite Vanko's best efforts to kill him by increasing the power of the whips while trying to chock him, Stark eventually defeated Vanko using his Iron Man suit. With two punches to the face and stomach, Vanko was unable to stand and Stark destroyed Vanko's Arc Reactor before Vanko was captured and taken away to prison. As he was being pulled away by the police, Vanko spat out his own blood and continued to mock Stark, claiming that he had lost the fight.[1]
Arrest and Interrogation
- "You come from a family of thieves and butchers, and like all guilty men, you try to rewrite your history, to forget all the lives the Stark family has destroyed."
"Speaking of thieves, where'd you get this design?"
- ―Ivan Vanko and Tony Stark
While in custody, Tony Stark went to interrogate Vanko. Upon arriving Stark pointed out a few design flaws on the Whiplash harness and a few improvements that Vanko could have done. Stark asked Vanko why he did not sell his technology and how he had obtained an Arc Reactor.
Vanko replied that he wanted to remove Stark's awe from the people and demonstrate that Iron Man could be defeated as revenge for Howard Stark destroying the Vanko family. Vanko also deduced that Stark was being poisoned by the palladium in his Arc Reactor saying, "Palladium in the chest, painful way to die." As Stark left, Vanko laughed to himself, believing that even if he spent the rest of his life in prison, Stark would still die a horrible death.[1]
Meeting Justin Hammer
Prison Escape
- "I want my bird."
"Yeah, sure. We can get you a bird."
"I want my bird. My bird."
- ―Ivan Vanko and Justin Hammer
Later, Vanko was moved to his new prison cell to begin his sentence for his actions during the Duel of Monaco; there he was delivered his dinner which included dynamite disguised as mashed potatoes. Moments later, Vanko's celldoor was unlocked and another prisoner was brought into the cell with the same uniform number and similar build to Vanko.
Seeing this as his chance for freedom, Vanko quickly killed the man by smashing his head against a sink and activated the bomb before walking away from his cell. As he walked down the corridor, Vanko was stopped by a guard who he killed by breaking his neck just as the bomb went off in his cell. Before he could get outside however, Vanko was grabbed by some men who covered his face and threw him into a van before driving him away to a top secret location.
Vanko to meet Justin Hammer, owner of Hammer Industries and rival to Tony Stark. Once Vanko's handcuffs were removed, Hammer then revealed that he had organised the faking of Vanko's death in the prison break and he had been impressed that Vanko had managed to recreate an Arc Reactor and wanted him to build replica Iron Man Suits which could discredit Stark, Vanko agreed as long as Hammer arranged to collect Vanko's pet bird from Russia.[1]
Building an Army
- "This isn't a helmet, this is a head... Ivan, what's going on?"
"Drone better."
"Drone better? What, why drone better? Ivan, I got an order for suits, not drones!"
- ―Justin Hammer and Ivan Vanko
Vanko and Justin Hammer immediately began work as Vanko began to design and build armored suits like the Iron Man armor in exchange for Hammer Industries resources. Vanko explored the facility and insulted Hammer's technology, noting that the computer software was shit before pulling apart the armor prototypes to examine them, much to the dismay of Hammer who noted their cost.
While taken a break from his work, Hammer arrived in the facility and delivered Vanko a pet bird, claiming it to be Vanko's from Russia, so Vanko called Hammer out, which Hammer was forced to confess to. While they were talking, Hammer then noticed that his Iron Man suit prototypes had been redesigned into unmaned drones, with Hammer noting he needed suits for the United States Armed Forces. Vanko revealed that he had changed the terms of the deal, confessing that he had retrofitted Hammer's existing armor technology from wearable suits into unmanned drones. Although Hammer was initially horrified, Vanko convinced him that it was the right decision.[1]
Angering Hammer
- "Слишком много говоришь"[2]
"I don't know if you know this, but I don't speak Russian!"
- ―Ivan Vanko and Justin Hammer
While working on the final designs for the Whiplash Armor: Mark II armor he had been constructing in his spare time, Ivan Vanko received a phonecall from Justin Hammer, who was busy playing golf with Senator Stern and wanted an update on the Hammer Drones. Vanko informed Hammer that the designs were incomplete and he would only be able to make the Drones perform a salute at the Stark Expo instead of the full weapons presentation he had promised Hammer, much to Hammer's own very clear frustration.
Furious and the betrayal, Justin Hammer stormed into Ivan Vanko's room at Hammer Industries Headquarters with two body guards. As punishment for his failure, Hammer ordered that the bird he had been given be taken away, along with his shoes and pillows. With Vanko now uncomfortable and annoyed, Hammer yelled in his face that he was also upset about how he had been betrayed by Vanko for not supplying him with what he needed for his presentation.
Hammer continued to rant at Vanko about how he had betrayed him before revealing that he had a new presentation to show off at the Stark Expo which would replace the demonstration he had planned with the drones. Hammer then left to attend the Expo, leaving Vanko being guarded by his bodyguards, who assured Vanko were not to be messed with, although Vanko sat confidently waiting to be alone with them so he could kill them and make his escape.[1]
Battle at Stark Expo
Sending the Hammer Drones
- "You sound pretty spry for a dead guy."
"You too. I double cycle."
"You what?"
"You told me double cycles more power. Good advice."
- ―Tony Stark and Ivan Vanko
Vanko was then locked up in Hammer Industries Headquarters with Hammer's guards. Vanko killed his guards with minimal effort and then phoned Tony Stark, revealing himself to in fact be alive and well, commenting that Stark himself seemed to be better himself after his poisoning from his Arc Reactors. Vanko began boasting that he had now rebuilt and also perfected his Whiplash Armor: Mark II, using Stark's recommendation, he then promised to destroy Stark Industries within 40 minutes as revenge for what Howard Stark did to his own father all those 40 years prior before hanging up the phone.
As the Hammer Industries presentation went underway at the Stark Expo, Vanko remotely took control of the Hammer Drones, as well as the War Machine armor worn by James Rhodes and used them to attack the guests, Justin Hammer as well as Iron Man. The Drones chased Stark through the Expo, with War Machine leading as Rhodes attempted to warn him. Vanko watched from a screen as more Drones were destroyed and the battle went in Stark's favor.[1]
Final Showdown
- "Good to be back."
"Oh this ain't gonna be good."
- ―Ivan Vanko and James Rhodes
As the lengthy fight involving Iron Man and the Hammer Drones still progressed, Vanko discovered that Black Widow was approaching and was going to kill him, so he abandoned the factory and got into an armored suit of his own and escaped the facility before he could be found. Widow then restored control of the War Machine armor back to James Rhodes who then helped Stark battle and destroy the Hammer Drones.
As all the drones had been destroyed by this point, Vanko landing before them in his upgraded Whiplash Armor: Mark II and challenged the pair. In an attempt to finish the fight early, War Machine tried to use one of Hammer Industries weapons called the Ex-Wife Missile, but unsurprisingly it malfunctioned, much to Vanko's amusement. While Iron Man then attempted to shoot him in the head, Vanko then armed himself and attacked the pair who fought back.
Whiplash readied his whips and fought Iron Man and War Machine alone. The superior bulk and capabilities of the Whiplash suit initially outmatched the combined efforts of War Machine and Iron Man and he was soon able to nearly rip their suits apart. When War Machine attempted to use the mini gun to destroy the Whiplash armor, Vanko simply tore it apart before stepping on and crushing the War Machine armor while still fighting the determined Iron Man.[1]
Defeat and Sacrifice
- "You lose."
- ―Whiplash's final words to Iron Man
As the fight neared it's eventual conclusion, Vanko managed to wrap his electric whips around both Iron Man and War Machine' necks, slowly killing them, but working together they soon found a way to beat him by reusing a trick they learned during their own battle, by shooting beams of energy from their Arc Reactors at each other, the combination of which caused a massive explosion which almost completely destroyed Vanko's suit and threw the two heroes backwards to safety.
As he lay wounded and dying in what remained of his armor, Vanko knew he was finally defeated and revealed that he had concealed self-destruct devices in his suit as well as all of the Hammer Drones, meaning that the entire Stark Expo was going to be destroyed. Vanko attempted to kill him by detonating an explosive device his armor, his dying words being, "You lose", but failed as Iron Man flew away to try to save Pepper Potts and was killed instantly.[1]
- "Hey, Tony. Before you go, palladium in the chest, painful way to die."
- ―Ivan Vanko to Tony Stark
Anton Vanko was deported from United States of America in the late 60's for selling weapons to Pakistan along with his son, Ivan. He was often at the receiving end of his father's alcoholic rages in this stupor but most of all, Vanko was raised to hate the Starks for what they did to his father whom he evidently loved dearly despite this abuse. Using his intelligence and patience, Vanko vowed revenge against Howard Stark's son, Tony by destroying his legacy and reputation the same way his family did to Vanko's, even spending his life imprisoned solely to destroy Tony's name by showcasing his own Arc Reactor in Monaco to counteract Stark's previous statement a few days earlier; that no one was in possession of his technology.
He's an opportunistic manipulator, having easily tricked Justin Hammer until letting him use his resources to build the new Whiplash suit and the Hammer Drones army without any real intention to support Hammer's cause. He also called Stark to taunt him into going to confront the Hammer so the drones could attack him in front of a large audience. Vanko was very overconfident, when he called Stark to explain his plans he took the chance to brag that he used Stark's advice to improve the Whiplash Armor before explaining his plans. He was often seen with a confident sadistic smile when attacking others, and in both of his battles with Iron Man he frequently took his time to enjoy taunting and attacking Stark unaware that doing so gave Tony enough time to counterattack.
Vanko was also an alcoholic, something which he picked up from his his father. When Anton died in front of him he took a swig of whiskey and when being recruited by Justin Hammer, the two cheered where Vanko took the entire bottle. The only thing Vanko has any attachment to is his bird back in Russia which he demanded that Hammer bring to him in exchange for Vanko to begin working for him.
- Expert Combatant: As a result of his upbringing and prison sentence, Ivan Vanko is a hardened individual who is well versed in combat. Because of his brute strength, he was able to easily subdue his cellmate during his prison escape, as well as snap the neck of a guard with apparent ease. Vanko also managed to kill two trained armed guards tasked to him by Justin Hammer, and was able to challenge Tony Stark in his Mark VI armor for a short period of time.
- Whip Mastery: Vanko is highly proficient in the use of his two electrified whips, that are powered by an Arc Reactor. Vanko relies on his whip for long-range combat, and in using them is versed enough to capture both Iron Man and War Machine at the same time.
- Master Engineer: Though he did not invent the Arc Reactor, Vanko was resourceful enough to duplicate them with limited materials. Upon receiving access to more resources at Hammer Industries, Vanko was able to secretly design a Mark II armor for himself, as well as create several Hammer Drones that took the combined efforts of Iron Man and War Machine to stop.
- Genius Intellect: Ivan possesses a strong intellectual mind as a result of his scientific background and his father's tutelage. From his efforts to duplicate the Arc Reactor, Vanko was able to deduce that Tony Stark was dying of palladium poisoning. Additionally upon escaping prison, Vanko was able to manipulate Justin Hammer into allowing him to make more Iron Man suits. Although Hammer wanted more man-operated suits, Vanko turned the suits into drones which were secretly under his control, and was able to deceive Hammer about their functionality until he was ready to activate them.
- Expert Computer Skills: Upon being shown Hammer's Iron Man prototype-suits, Vanko easily hacked into Hammer Tech's software to which Hammer believed was highly encrypted. Also whilst Tony Stark had J.A.R.V.I.S. to operate the Iron Legion, Vanko instead possessed the knowledge to slave the 'Hammer Tech drones' to operate by themselves, as well as operate War Machine's suit against his will. It took the efforts of Black Widow, an accomplished hacker, to eventually overthrow Vanko's influence over War Machine and the Hammer drones.
- Tactician: Upon creating his first Arc Reactor, Vanko entered the United States of America to make an attempt on Tony Stark's life at the time when he believed him most vulnerable. Vanko determined that even if he lost the fight, that the aftereffects of Iron Man being challenged by his similar technology and Stark's deteoriating health would mean his effort wasn't in vain and that Iron Man would lose his reputation.
- Multilingualism: Vanko is fluent in Russian and speaks English with a heavy accent, using the latter language to communicate while in the United States. He frequently used Russian to insult Justin Hammer.
Vanko possessed two Arc Reactor powered suits which offered him increased strength as well as durability and in which the primarily weapon were a pair of electrified whips by the arc reactor in the centre of the suits.
- Whiplash Armor: Mark I: The first Whiplash Armor was designed as a harness powered by an arc reactor with two electrified whips. He used the armor to ambush Tony Stark in Monaco, succeeding in cutting his car in half, however he was eventually defeated and both he and the suit were taken away by the police once the Arc Reactor had been torn out.
- Whiplash Armor: Mark II: The second Whiplash Armor is an upgraded version of the mark I that granted Vanko enhanced speed, strength, reflexes, durability, and endurance. It also had flight capabilities. He created the suit using Hammer Industries' technology and equipment and used it to battle Iron Man and War Machine at the Stark Expo. However once again he was defeated and the suit was damaged beyond repair before being destroyed when Whiplash activated the self destruct, killing himself in the process.

- The Ivan Vanko character is an combination of elements from Iron Man villains Whiplash and the Crimson Dynamo.
- Marvel Comics created a new version of Whiplash named Anton Vanko in the Mainstream Universe that was similar to this character shortly before the release of Iron Man 2, as the Ivan Vanko version of Whiplash was not similar to any other one of the other characters named Whiplash in the comics.
- Vanko's fake ID and alias on the Monaco Grand Prix track use the name Boris Turgenov, a reference to the second Crimson Dynamo.
- Although that he appears as Whiplash himself, this alias was never adopted or mentioned by him, or by any character in the film.
- An alternative ending for Iron Man 2 showed Whiplash attacking Pepper Potts at the Stark Expo, but being killed by War Machine.

When it comes time to choose an excellent SIP trunk provider for the needs of your business, it can be an extremely tough and complicated call. New companies and new services are appearing all the time, and it can be a tough and time-consuming chore to sift through all of the various stats and offers to determine which one works best for you. However, by paying heed to a few general rules of thumb, you can make it a lot easier on yourself when it comes to signing on the dotted line with the provider you choose for your services.
What Exactly Is SIP Trunking And Why Does Your Business Require It?
To begin with, it may be helpful to explain exactly what SIP trunking is, and why it is critical to the success of your business. SIP trunking is a system that maintains and orders a whole range of multimedia communications (such as incoming phone calls or video conference calls) using the medium of the Internet to streamline and regulate them. In other words, each separate incoming call is channeled and regulated through a "trunk" that maintains and controls the quality of the entire group.
SIP trunking differs greatly from the former range of analog phone systems because its primary purpose to is to combine incoming data and voice messages from multiple connections into one simultaneous stream. The possibilities that are thus created for your business to multiply its efficiency should be obvious. Instead of dealing with incoming calls one by one, you can now handle multiple simultaneous incoming streams via conference, thus dealing with many customers and clients at once and conducting a week's worth of business in the space of several minutes.
How Does An SIP Trunking System Work?
An SIP trunking system routes and groups calls by making use of an onsite PBX system. Once a hosted PBX system is set up in your office, you can receive an unlimited number of incoming and outgoing calls and conferences via your available office extensions. The PBX system that is set up by your SIP trunk provider will synchronize the streams together in order to create a perfectly regulated communications network.
What Is An SIP Trunk Provider?
An SIP trunk provider is a company that specializes in SIP trunking and other VoIP services. Choosing the best provider for your needs will hinge on a number of very important ...

Thursday - Jun 21, 2012
A few weeks ago one of my clients who works in the software industry posed a question online to other like-minded software engineers, asking if anyone knew if a certain type of software existed. After three days without a response, my curiosity kicked in. I used Google's search page to see what was on the Web. Less than a minute later, I had found at least one example of the requested software. I happily shared that information with my client, though a tiny voice of irritation whispered to me: "why didn't my client simply do what I did in the first place: search the Internet?"
As Internet search engines have rapidly become more sophisticated, access to information (often of widely varying quality) has become more commonplace. Within seconds a simple Web search can often yield thousands of results, whether the question is "when is Easter 2013?" or a more complicated "why did Company X buy Company Y?" In fact, the Internet search has become so easy many long-term users of the 'net — who often don't have patience for those new to it — will bluntly advise information seekers to simply "Google it." Some even go one step further and cynically respond with a "let me Google that for you" link, which mimics the action of a Google search and ends with the message "was that so hard?"
The reality of acquiring information online is admittedly more complex than "Google it," however. (I keep referencing Google as it's what I tend to use most. There are of course many other options; your mileage may vary.) Here are a few reasons why:
1. A more social and collaborative approach to acquiring information is desired.
2. The knowledge of how to effectively use a search engine is limited.
3. "Information overload" complicates the search.
4. Access to the desired information is limited or closed.
5. The information simply doesn't exist publicly (or at all) on the Internet.
The client I mentioned in the introduction is likely an example of someone seeking a more collaborative approach to information gathering. It's possible my client, rather than wanting to search the Internet, preferred to tap into the knowledge of peers first. After all, who better to ask than other software engineers if a type of software exists? Sure, I provided an answer through a Web search of my own, but it's also possible someone else may have been able to respond with a more personal experience.
For others the problem may simply be a lack of knowing how to effectively utilize a search engine. Sure, it may be easy enough to type in a few words and search, but often times more information is needed. What is the topic? What are the keywords related to the topic? In what format do you expect to find the information? All these questions are important when trying to decide what phrases/terms to search for. Additionally, knowing how to format those phrases/terms for more advanced searches can often lead to more focused search results. (The University of California – Berkeley Library offers a useful tutorial for optimizing your search strategy.)
Sometimes knowing how to use a search engine isn't enough either. In some cases searchers may deal with too much information, closed access to information, or simply no information at all when conducting a Web search. In the case of the first, "information overload" may set in quickly when suddenly presented an overwhelming amount of choices when searching for something specific. This problem can sometimes be remedied by using more specific search times. However, on some occasions the particular topic is so general or well-discussed, sorting through all the results and finding the most relevant information can be a struggle.
A fourth concern why "Google it" isn't always an easy answer: the information sought may be hidden behind a pay wall. Many online newspapers and scientific journals, for example, offer limited access to their content, usually through some sort of personal or academic subscription plan. And while the debate about the necessity of these pay walls continues, the associated restriction of information sometimes leads to great resentment, especially from those who have an "open access" philosophy.
Finally, these pay walls aren't the only problem we may face; sometimes the information we seek simply can't be found. It either doesn't exist, or it's buried in the "invisible Web," an area that isn't seen by most search engines. As such, special tools may be needed to search the invisible Web for hard-to-find information, and even then no guarantee can be made it will be found.
To close, these five scenarios should make it clear enough: the Internet search isn't always the easy answer. From desiring more collaborative fact gathering to requiring more precise tools to probe the invisible Web, there are plenty of reasons why throwing a few words into an Internet search engine may not be enough for information seekers. And as data is increasingly making its way online in more complex forms, the challenges likely won't get any easier for makers and users of search engines.
So the next time you feel tempted to tell someone to just "Google it," remember that advice doesn't always yield an easy, straightforward process. The pursuit of information via the Internet is sometimes more than just a few keystrokes and a mouse click.

As part of its mission of organizing the world's information, Google has been scanning and digitizing millions of books. The company estimates that there are around 130 million existing books. So far, it has scanned more than 12 million. The goal is to digitize all of them by the end of the decade, creating an unprecedented resource.
Google Books offers full text search of all the volumes in its digital library. It also has amassed a database of 500 billion words from books published between 1500 and 2008. Using a recently released tool, you can graph the occurrence of keywords over time. Warning: It can be addictive.
According to Erez Lieberman Aiden, a junior fellow at the Society of Fellows at Harvard, "The goal is to give an 8-year-old the ability to browse cultural trends throughout history, as recorded in books." Aiden was a member of the team that compiled the data.
So how does it work? You can search for the number of times a word or term appears over a specified time period. I searched for "chocolate" between 1700 and 2000. Here's the result:
Next, I added "vanilla". As you can see by the trend line, it's not nearly as popular, although it generally follows a similar trend.
For those of you sidelined by winter weather and looking for some fun with words, give Google's Ngram Viewer a try.
Monday - Aug 2, 2010
In the late 1990s, an epic battle raged to dominate the Internet. In one corner was Microsoft, the behemoth that controlled the computer desktop with its Windows operating system. In the other, was Netscape, a scrappy Silicon Valley start-up. The battleground was the web browser, the software essential to access the Internet.
It's a classic David vs. Goliath story. A small, venture capital funded company fighting the world's largest and richest software company. Many people rooted for Netscape, the acknowledged underdog, against Bill Gates' Evil Empire. I don't have to tell you who won. Netscape Navigator was eventually acquired by AOL and in 2008, it stopped supporting the software, relegating Netscape to an Internet footnote. Today, Microsoft Internet Explorer holds a commanding 60% share of the browser market.
Regardless of who won, the battle was a boon for consumers, Not only did it lead to continual improvements in the software, but the demise of Netscape Navigator lead to the ascent of Mozilla Firefox, another worthy Internet Explorer opponent.
Today, another battle is being waged, also between a Silicon Valley company (this one is not so scrappy anymore) and Microsoft–the Search War. Google now dominates Internet search and 95% of its revenues are derived from search-related advertising. Microsoft wants a piece of the action, so last year it rebranded MSN Search as Bing, its "decision engine" and put a huge advertising push to promote its "new" search service. The score now stands at 12.7% for Bing vs. 62.6% for Google. Bing is slowly gaining, but that's not the point: Competition is good.
As in the Browser War, consumers are the ultimate beneficiaries as each Goliath improves its product, spending billions of dollars in the process. For an analysis of the battle plans, check out this story in the New York Times.

The Tab was founded by three students at Cambridge University in 2009 as an antidote to dry university newspapers. Since then it has grown into a global news network with 8 million monthly readers and offices in New York and London.
We have teams of writers at 100 of the leading universities in the US and UK, breaking stories and making videos that are seen around the world.
To join us, pitch your first story idea on the next page and an editor from your university will be in touch.
What makes us unique is our mix of local reporting and global reach. Our university editorial teams deliver bold, fearless and entertaining journalism to readers on their campuses. And then we push the biggest stories out to a much wider audience. Last year Tab stories appeared across the media, including The New York Times, BuzzFeed and the BBC.
Some of our best contributors write for our sister site babe, the fastest-growing women's magazine on the internet, and join projects like Voices of Color, which recently had reporters accredited at the White House.
We hire our best people when they graduate, and so do some of the world's leading media companies. We've placed over 100 students directly into jobs in the media, and helped hundreds more find internships. Ellie Pithers, one of our first editors, is now Fashion Features Editor at British Vogue, and other former Tab editors are working for Reuters, VICE, The Sunday Times, BuzzFeed and the Daily Mail.

James Franco and Ahna O'Reilly part waysPosted on: July 21, 2011 09:53:54
Lonely hearts looking for a new partner using USA dating could be sad to hear James Franco has split up with his girlfriend.
In a recent interview with Playboy magazine, the handsome actor revealed he was no longer dating long-term girlfriend Ahna O'Reilly.
The Pineapple Express star revealed his former beau had grown tired of his hectic work schedule and studies at Yale University.
"We'd been living together in LA then I came to New York to go to school for two years. Then I signed up for more school at Yale [and] I think that was it for her," he explained.
O'Reilly, 26, had a small role in comedy hit Forgetting Sarah Marshall alongside Jason Segel and Superbad's Bill Hader.
Franco, who was dating the pretty blonde for five years, is set to feature in upcoming film Oz: The Great and Powerful with stunning Black Swan starlet Mila Kunis.

How Stuff Works is about the stuff that makes the world go 'round. It's truly incredible to see the ingenious lengths people go to in order to extract rubber and iron, corn and wheat, and water and salt from the earth. Equally amazing is the number of different and varied products that can be derived from something so fundamental.
The HowStuffWorks DVD set provides an insider's look at a dozen materials, beverages, and food items we consume or utilize each day. Mundane, and yet vitally important to our daily routine of living, the items make up the stuff in the title of the hit TV series. Twelve HowStuffWorks videos are contained in the three-disc set, which informs you about the making and usage of everything from corn and rubber to coffee and beer. In the HowStuffWorks DVD set, you'll discover that there are many incredible things in this world that we simply take for granted, maybe because they're commonplace. In the HowStuffWorks videos, you'll learn that maybe it's because we're just used to seeing them around. But the truth is, each of these seemingly mundane items has a fascinating story behind it. In the Discovery DVDs, HowStuffWorks, prepare to be amazed.

3DMark Vantage is based on a completely new rendering engine, developed specifically to take full advantage of DirectX10, the new graphics API from Microsoft.

SEO (search engine optimization), the industry you're trying to learn about, is full of impenetrable jargon. And I mean, really full. Even the name is jargon - search engine optimization? When do you ever use that word in real life? Why not just say "improving your search results (ISE)"? I mean, isn't that what you're doing
This is not the time for an in-depth analysis of why this has occurred, but it is the time to say that you won't get that here. We're going to walk you through the SEO process in language you can understand.
We'll start with the basics, then tackle individual subject areas in more and more depth.
We'll be talking about how Google is really looking for two things from your site in a later article: authority and relevance. Here's how to go about getting those.
"Google is really looking for two things from your site: authority and relevance" Tweet this quote
Google defines your website's authority as (broadly) the number of links your site attracts. (Social links ie, people sharing one of your pages on Facebook, Google+ or similar, is also a factor, as it's essentially the same thing). Simply put, the better your content is, the more people will link to it.
You can learn more about content in the Wordtracker Academy content section, but at this stage, there is one key lesson. Take the time and effort to create fantastic, jaw-dropping content. It can be text, video, graphics, whatever you like, just make sure the content on your site is as good as it can possibly be.
Creating great content to build up links is one half of the puzzle, but the other is to make sure that Google knows what all the content is about so it can make sure it ranks for the appropriate terms. There are several strands to this.
The first is to make sure you're using the same language as your customers. Avoid jargon and just say it how it is.
This can be tricky for some businesses. In the UK for example, if someone wants a new cell phone they almost certainly take out an 18 or 24 month contract. There is therefore a lot of search volume around terms like cheapest phone contracts, best iphone contracts, that kind of thing.
So what do the carriers do? They don't like the word 'contract', so they call them pay monthly plans. The result is that if you search for one of these terms, none of the carriers rank, it's just the affiliates and the re-sellers. They're throwing away traffic because they don't like a word. Make sure this isn't you.
There may be times however, when it's not that obvious. Let's say you sell portable computers. What terms would your customers use? They could search for netbooks, laptops, ultrabooks, portable computers, macbooks, chromebooks, the list is potentially endless. Will all these terms, you need to think about how difficult each one of them is to rank and how well they convert.
We call this process keyword research.
It's a vitally important part of SEO as it forms the basis of your SEO strategy. You can learn more about keyword research elsewhere in the Academy. We talk about it a lot.
Once you've established the keywords you're focusing on (and therefore, the language you're using), you need to make sure that language is repeated where possible throughout the site. This will make your site appear relevant to Google.
Your site structure
The first thing to do is to build your site in a logical way. Broadly, this means talking about wider areas of your business on your home page (eg, computers), then have category pages and product pages getting more and more specific. Eg, a site journey might look like this:
Home Page › Computers & Tablets › Laptop & Netbook Computers › PC Laptops › Samsung › Samsung XPS 13 › Order Page
Building your site this way means you're more likely to target for relevant terms. We call this 'building around your niche' and it's a key factor to help you appear relevant.
Now we need to put the relevant keywords in the appropriate places. We call this on-page optimization And there are several places on the page you can optimize (ie, make keyword rich):
The URL - web address eg, www.yoursite.com that appears in the browser.
The title tag - when you view a web page in the browser, the words that appear at the top, in the tab of the browser, is the title tag. This should be changeable in your CMS.
The alt tag - all images in your site have one of these. It's what the search engines 'see'.
The navigation and the on-page copy - where this makes sense, try and ensure the keywords are included.
Those are really just to get you started, but these topics are explored in more depth elsewhere, so get exploring!

Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory
Title: Long Walk Original Manuscript (Image #180)
Transcript: Charter was formulated. Its practical value and singular importance derived from the fact that it was welded out of the demands that came from the masses pinpointing concrete forms in which national oppression touched their daily lives and embodying the practical conditions whose implementation would ensure the elimination of national oppression for all national groups in the country. It is solely because of this that the Charter enjoys the support of all sections of national groups of the Congress movement, of ambitious business men, struggling workers, poor peasants, priests, teachers and other intellectuals. Of course in a way we cannot dismiss the arguement that the victory of the Congress movement and the overthrow of colour oppression will be a step towards scientific socialism. In a democratic South Africa established by us our allies will naturally have a free run and the CP will have a proportionate say in the solution of the country's problems. But that by itself need make neither us nor South Africa a communist country. The fact that during the Second World War the communist parties of France, Holland, Italy and other countries freely supported the war against Hitler, that theri members were part of the resistance movement and are now operating legally in their respective countries does not make them communist countries.
But the enemy panics when, in spite of all restrictions it imposes on its opponents, the freedom armu continues to grow and the drums of freedom beat louder and louder, and this is precisely what happened to the government after the COP. It was shaken by the fact that the entire campaign was organised under abnormal conditions where a large number of senior members of the Congresses were banned, where municipal authorities would not allow mixed meetings in their areas and when the police were harassing the people by rigorously enforcing the pass system and intimidating black
