Life in a 'degrowth' economy, and why you might actually enjoy it
What does genuine economic progress look like? The orthodox answer is that a bigger economy is always better, but this idea is increasingly strained by the knowledge that, on a finite planet, the economy can't grow for ever.
When one first hears calls for degrowth, it is easy to think that this new economic vision must be about hardship and deprivation; that it means going back to the stone age, resigning ourselves to a stagnant culture, or being anti-progress. Not so.
Renewable energy cannot sustain an energy-intensive global society of high-end consumers. A degrowth society embraces the necessity of "energy descent", turning our energy crises into an opportunity for civilisational renewal.
In a degrowth society we would aspire to localise our economies as far and as appropriately as possible. This would assist with reducing carbon-intensive global trade, while also building resilience in the face of an uncertain and turbulent future.

Despite Trump, Canada's budget stays the course on climate change
Some industry groups and politicians worry about making a clean energy transition in Canada when President Trump still "digs coal."
So perhaps the most important test for this budget was whether Canada would stick to its guns, or whether Trump's influence would spur a change in course.
The budget's clean technology section opens by saying that the "global campaign against climate change is an economic opportunity for Canada," an opportunity where Canada "can be a true global leader."
The government zeroes in on clean tech, along with digital industries and agri-food, as growing industries that are key to Canada's economic success.
The clean power sector alone employed over 9 million people in 2015, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (and including large hydro).
Canada has a strong clean tech foundation. According to data from Analytica Advisors, a consultancy tracking Canada's clean tech sector, Canada had over 700 companies, $11 billion in revenues, and 55,600 people working in the sector in 2016. But we've also been losing market share to our peers, falling from 14th to 19th among the world's top 25 clean tech exporters in 2016.

Policies for Shareable Cities
Cities are built for sharing. It's what makes cities engines of prosperity, innovation, and cultural exchange. Well connected cities have the unique capacity to raise per capita production and innovation while using dramatically less energy. For this reason, cities may be our best hope for achieving widespread prosperity within the earth's natural limits.
The sharing economy has deep implications for how cities design urban spaces, create jobs, reduce crime, manage transportation, and provide for citizens. As such, the sharing economy also has deep implications for policy making. The sharing economy challenges core assumptions made in 20th century planning and regulatory frameworks – namely, that residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural activities should be physically separated from one other, and that each single family household operates as an independent economic unit.
The guide curates scores of innovative, high impact policies that US city governments have put in place to help citizens share resources, co-produce, and create their own jobs. It focuses on sharing policy innovations in food, housing, transportation, and jobs — key pocket book issues of citizens and priorities of urban leaders everywhere. The guide is meant to help cities develop more resilient, innovative, and democratic economies.

No one can make electricity cheap again
Ontario's electricity woes stem back to the late 1970s and, over the past 40 odd years, all three parties have had a hand in them. It started with the building of the Darlington nuclear station, which the Bill Davis Tories approved and the David Peterson Liberals saw through to completion — 10 years late and almost $12 billion over budget. No one could afford to pay the real cost of Darlington, so Ontarians carried that debt for the next three decades.
Here's the short answer: electricity requires infrastructure, infrastructure costs are tied to commodities and labour, and these costs go up over time. What people pay for electricity in any given region is a product of geographic luck (the availability of cheap hydro for example) and having rare — but possible — infrastructure foresight (the ability to plan effectively for the electricity of the future).
Read No one can make electricity cheap again by Bruce Lourie at The Star.
Where money grows
Cities routinely rake up tens of millions of dollars from their urban forests annually in ways that are not always obvious. Leafy canopies lower summer air conditioning bills, but more shade also means less blade to maintain thousands of acres of grass. Health-wise, trees contribute to lower asthma rates and birth defects by removing air pollutants.
Portland, New York City, Milwaukee and Atlanta are among the cities that have quantified the payoff from pines and palms, olives and oaks. It's part of a breakthrough in thinking among city planners in recent decades who now realize that a city runs not just on engineering, but on biology and ecology as well.

The cost of carbon pricing in Ontario and Alberta
Claims that carbon pricing will lead to skyrocketing price increases throughout the economy are misplaced at best—and misleading at worst.
On January 1, Ontario and Alberta adopted broad-based carbon pricing policies. Alberta opted for a carbon tax while Ontario chose a cap-and-trade system. Alberta's carbon tax is $20/t of carbon dioxide in 2017, while permits in Ontario's cap and trade system currently trade at about $18/t of carbon dioxide.
In these early days of carbon pricing, detailed empirical analysis is necessarily limited. Our brief analysis shows that the direct effect of carbon prices will be about $150 (Ontario) to $200 (Alberta) per year for an average household. The indirect effect on carbon pricing on the goods and services we buy will be on the order of $100 for the typical household in 2017. Of course, even modest cost increases may be challenging for many households but rebates can effectively mitigate these concerns. In Alberta, lump-sum rebates will be sufficient to ensure low- and middle-income households aren't (on average) made worse-off by carbon taxes. Ontario meanwhile has no explicit support program, but has a variety of other initiatives.

Feature Painter 2016 – Debbie Mackenzie
Debbie Mackenzie is an artist residing on the Mornington Peninsula. After studying Graphic Design and a career in the advertising industry, Debbie has embarked upon a journey into the romantic. Her paintings are largely about reverie; a sense of place, a desire to be there.
Spending her childhood between the peninsula (her home) and the century old family beach house at Peterborough on the Great Ocean Road, has provided a rich and endless source of inspiration. Under the guidance of renowned artist Dr Tony Hanning, Debbie has been able to finesse her talent.
Debbie has exhibited in numerous art shows and group exhibitions with work in many private collections across the country and abroad.
In awe of our environment and all its beauty of promising landscapes, dreamy atmospheres and the melancholy contemplation of the sky, is all part of Debbie's engagement with the romantic.
Debbie's vision is about leaving the high pressured, time poor quality of modern life, escaping into the whimsical landscape of rolling green hills and grand old trees and majestic skies. Placing the viewer beneath a vast and epic sky that correctly reminds us of where we fit in nature, small but surrounded by beauty on a grand scale.
Return to the days of a carefree childhood, to lie on the grass and watch clouds float by, not a care in the world. To indulge in that feeling when you view the work, best describes Debbie's motivation.
Her work is a reflection of personal and individual experience from childhood to today. Spending time between her home on the Mornington Peninsula and her beloved family holiday shack in Peterborough (with a rich history going back 4 generations), has provided Debbie with a surplus of visual memories!
As Simon Gregg says in his book , New Romantics, "today Romanticism implies an aversion to digital technology. To embrace the natural world is to cleanse and purify the soul against the madness of the modern world. Artists who turn to nature today may be seeking such a spiritual respite."

Yesterday has got to me one of the most soul destroying Saturdays ever! I had given myself certain tasks to complete my 'When Two Become One' project. I had to create a voice recording to go over my presentation which I had saved as a movie! Once that was done I tried to merge them together using iMovie, however that didn't work so I had to download Premier Pro! Which worked! Success. But then it went back ugly, I tried to upload it onto Vimeo, but a video that's 6 minutes and 40 seconds long is apparently too big to upload, so my next plan was to upload it onto Youtube! This in fact took around 6 hours! Last I checked It was on 68% nightmare!! I had to leave my house so hopefully when I come back it will be finished! If not I will absolutely have a melt down!

Arjun and Bhim told their mother that Draupadi was alms, which is why their mother ordered to share.

Krishna explains to her that she should not unknowingly impose to her sons.

The Shark Sonic carpet cleaner performs amazingly well on tough older stains and pet stains, even though it is primarily used as a tool to freshen up carpets and maintain their cleanliness, supplemented by deeper level cleanings. More than one user has been pleasantly surprised at how well the machine attacks tough, embedded stains. Does it work well on both plush and Berber carpets? The answer in each case is a definite yes.
So to properly deep clean carpets, this Shark Sonic Duo KD450WM/ ZZ550 machine does require users to vacuum the carpet once it dries, to suction out the deep down dirt that has been treated. You can tell the process works – a lot of users have commented on a noticeable difference in their carpets upon vacuuming it. This is the vacuuming after they've cleaned the area with their Shark Sonic Duo carpet cleaner.
Airglide Maneuverability – Thanks to the micro fiber cleaning pads, the Sonic Duo glides effortlessly over the surface or carpet to be cleaned. There is no need to be fighting powerful suction. The cleaning solution in the cleaning pads, together with only enough suction needed to remove loosened dirt does the job. For added maneuverability, this Shark Sonic carpet cleaner features swivel steering.
Using the Shark cleaning solutions brings out the best in the cleaner, even though in some locations they can sometimes be hard to find. The Shark ingredients are designed to provide optimum cleaning (or polishing) when used with the micro fiber pads. Using the low-moisture solution is especially important for optimum results. The cleaning solutions most often purchased alongside this cleaner are Shark Sonic carpet cleaner and Shark Hard Floor Cleaner.
This duo carpet cleaner can actually provide up to 1000 scrubs per minute, and it is perfect both for carpets and for hard floors (the scrub mode can be easily shifted depending on the surface that you are about to clean). The Shark Sonic Duo Carpet Cleaner only uses safe and non-toxic cleaning solutions that do not endanger your family or your pets, it has a spot remover and a polishing solution, as well as microfiber washable pads.
The Shark Duo floor cleaner is meant for getting up stains and dinginess from your floors and keeping them cleaner and well maintained. You may also have odors associated with stains, especially from pets (, ). This machine will freshen those up as well. In fact, the Shark Sonic Duo carpet cleaner and bare floor cleaner removes four times more dirt that is stuck into your carpets and floors than vacuuming alone ().

If you would like to send us any feedback please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com You can also read our latest independent customer reviews on our Feefo page, simply click here.
I write this as a huge thank you for organising an urgent oil delivery to my mum. She is nearly 80 years old and normally my brother organises the oil delivery. She was really panicked as my brother was away on holiday and called me in London to help. I initially spoke with Duncan Lambert, and then to another man on the sales desk and then the service team.
By noon me mother had received the delivery and the service engineer had the boiler and Aga working. Please pass my thanks to all who where involved in sorting this out - terrific work!
- Mr Marshall - Yorkshire
Just a quick note to say how impressed we were with the engineers who came to fit our new boiler. Not only were they polite and respectful at all times but they were meticulous in cleaning up after themselves. Apart from the gap where the Rayburn used to be, you would not know that they had been. We would have no qualms about recommending Rix in the future and please feel free to pass on our compliments to the guys; their professionalism was quite outstanding Yours sincerely Dave & Helen
- Dave & Helen - Yorkshire
No praise too high for Rix for customer response ! Just as the December cold snap started we ran out of oil at home. I sent an e-mail and rang on the Friday morning, and the tanker turned up at our house first thing on the Saturday morning. Impeccable as I guess demand had just shot up us well
- Mr W. East Riding
I live on Hawes Green, Shotesham St. Mary and have just had a delivery of heating oil, I would like to take this opportunity to make you aware of the professionalism and value of one of your drivers, Matt. As most places have a covering of icy compacted snow, it was not possible to actually get the tanker up the very slight gradient of our drive. Matt paced out the distance from tanker to oil tank and fortunately, had just enough length of hose to reach the tank. The oil was delivered, which I am extremely grateful for, as we were getting somewhat low. Matt was very helpful and courteous and is an assett to your company. I would like to pass on my gratitude and praise, where praise is due.
- Mr Winter. Norfolk
Please pass on to Tim Rix, who I understand is your managing director. My sincere thanks to your maintenance / repair team. Last Friday the 14that nearly 5.30pm I discovered an oil leak to my boiler, a phone call to your Hull office and within 45 mins a man was here and by 6.30pm repair sorted. All this at a time when weather was atrocious. Hows that for service.
- Mr P. East Yorkshire
Just wanted to say thank you to whoever made it possible for my oil delivery to arrive today (Saturday 4th Feb). We had no heating/hot water since Thursday night and the lady I spoke to said that you could not guarantee delivery before Tuesday 7th but would try and get it for Monday. I was extremely surprised when Matt knocked on my door at 10am Saturday.
- Mrs F, East Anglia
My first contact with Rix was at the beginning of January 2011 when some heating oil companies weren't being very "fair" or helpful. Despite my order only being comparatively small you were willing to make a delivery (earlier than estimated) and were willing to quote an actual price while some other companies would only give an estimate. I felt that Rix were demonstrating the sort of values I feel gives an excellent service to their customers.
- Mrs O, North East
Would like you to pass on my thanks to some of your team for their excellent customer service. One of them – the lady (think I remember her name as Trish) who took my call on a freezing morning when my Aga was not working and who had such a friendly and reassuring manner, then called me back so I knew what was happening about when I could expect a visit. The other is the engineer (he signed the sheet T. Williams)who braved terrible icy road conditions into our village on three occasions, was friendly and polite and patient when explaining the problem and who made time for a late call so I didn't have another night without heat and cooker.
Great! Many thanks, Sue
We were promised delivery the first week in January however we had a delivery just before Christmas. This was a big relief to us and the drivers were kind and professional.
- Mr & Mrs D, Hull
Very pleased with Rix customer service. Rix employees where extremely helpful, polite and knowledgeable when placing my heating oil order.
- Mr W, Mercia
Excellent, effcient and friendly service, best in the area.
- Mr WT, Hornsea, East Yorkshire, Customer for more than 30 years
Our firm have dealt with you all my lifetime (58years). We always get prompt, efficient and a happy service.
- Mr J, Scarborough, Customer for more than 58 years
I would just like to thank your staff for being so effcient on Saturday evening when my boiler had broken down...within an hour Robin had arrived, discovered the problem repaired it and my boiler was working again. Trisha rang me again later in the evening to confirm everything was OK. What good service, my thanks to you all.
Mrs G (Yorkshire area)
Excellent. Driver contacted me (as requested) in advance of delivery to ensure access was available. Very courteous clean and efficient delivery. I have had problems with other parties delivering oil in the past and very much appreciate Rix's attention to detail and competitive prices.
I would recommend Rix. We have used them before and certainly will again. Order was made online and delivery followed a couple of days later. No fuss, no hassle.

Plain Ol' Willard pulls off 14-1 upset in George Lewis Memorial
Plain Ol' Willard, who snapped an 11-race losing streak when he made his first start since November a week ago, wheeled right back to upset Saturday's $75,000 George Lewis Memorial Stakes for Ohio-accredited horses at Thistledown.
It was the fifth lifetime stakes victory for Plain Ol' Willard ($31.80), a 6-year-old son of Pacific Waves, and his first stakes win since he took the Best of Ohio Endurance in the fall of 2014.
Ridden for the first time by Terry Houghton, Plain Ol' Willard stalked in third, about 1 1/2 lengths off slow fractions of 51.08 seconds and 1:16.40 set by the 3-year-old My Pardner Cal. Plain Ol' Willard passed My Pardner Cal in the stretch and scored by a length, completing 1 1/8 miles in 1:55.40. He is trained by Kathleen Lowry for M.Y. Stables and has now won 8 of 38 starts and $336,149..
My Pardner Cal, coming off a third-place finish on turf in the Green Carpet at Belterra Park, held second by a head over late-running Eightthehardway.
Jac's Fact, the 2015 Ohio-bred Horse of the Year and defending Lewis champion, was a non-threatening sixth, beaten eight lengths, as the even-money favorite.
The victory by Plain Ol' Willard completed a conseutive riding triple for Houghton, who won back-to-back allowance races prior to the stakes on Luckyallmylife ($3.60) and Couldnt Wait ($10). A $1 pick three linking all three Houghton winners paid $535.10.

Boot Camps in Bayside, NY Can Help Troubled Teens, if They Are Like Gateway Boys Academy
Are you trying to find boot camps close to Bayside, New York to straighten out a out-of-control teen? Learn how boot camps can help troubled teens and consider how Gateway's program may be even more effective for your teen.
If your teen demonstrates blatant disregard for authority, constantly displays defiant behavior, gets into frequent and escalating trouble with the law, and shows no cooperation in school, perhaps a boot camp can help straighten out your troubled teen.
Boot Camps in Bayside, New York Can Help Troubled Teens Learn to Respect Authority
Public opinion gives military schools, especially boot camps, a reputation for making out-of-control teens put their lives in order. In fact, in several positive ways, boot camps can help troubled teens. Boot camps provide a crash course in discipline, personal integrity and regard for authority. Programs like these can send a powerful message to a teen who is moving toward a life of crime. For those teens who respond well to it, boot camps can give them a new understanding of the consequences of their actions. For certain people, boot camps can initially help them move from self-defeating habits, to more respectable behavior. But those bad attitudes often return.
Boot Camps Can Help Troubled Boys Change their Behavior, But Many Teen Issues Go Beyond the Behavior
Despite the fact that boot camps can help troubled teens in some cases, most adolescent issues run much deeper than they seem on the surface and may only be symptoms of other issues. Boot camps rely entirely on behavior modification; they do not include the counseling or therapeutic input to help teens address the true root issues. For teens exhibiting anxiety, depression, drug or alcohol use, poor self-esteem, emotional disorders, and in fact most forms of rebellious behavior, the strict discipline of the boot camp environment may prove counterproductive instead, if it isn't set up in a way that the discipline is coupled with Christian love and support.
Most boot camps in Bayside, NY on their own will not deal with family problems but simply return a somewhat more compliant teen to the same home situation in which he was struggling. Then he will return to old habits. For this reasons, boot camps in Bayside, NY are a short-term solution at best, and may be harmful to the teen at worst. Fact is, teens often revert to past behavior after returning home from short-term boot camps, because the length of the program doesn't make the good attitudes, respect and discipline a habit in their life.
Gateway's Boot Camp and Military School, Plus It's Therapeutic Boarding School and Ongoing Counsel and Support are What it Takes to Turn Around Troubled Boys
If you find that a traditional short-term boot camp is not the best choice for your teen, but you still like the idea of what a boot camp teaches, Gateway an alternative that combines the strengths of the military approach with the therapeutic input of a therapeutic boarding school. Gateway, found in the Panhandle of Florida, is a Christian military boarding school that has served – and brought hope to- struggling teenage boys and their families from locations all across the country for well over 20 years. Troubled teenage boys from Bayside, New York and other cities receive an accredited academic program, counseling and teaching, instruction in military drill and history, and the discipline for which boot camps are renowned. Gateway offers a loving staff that cares deeply about each teen. Gateway is a military-style school that features several essential components that are typically missing from boot camps. Those include:
- Caring staff and mentors who provide positive role models and constructive input, not simply breaking teens down.
- Biblical teaching and spiritual focus, to help teens realize the true source of lasting heart change.
- Counseling, to help teens work through issues and replace destructive patterns with healthy new habits.
- Family restoration through Biblical instruction and seminars for parents and families.
Boot camps can help troubled teens if they are coupled with an ongoing program like Gateway offers. We invite you to look beyond Bayside, New York, for what may be the best situation your boy…a program with a boot camp element, but also ongoing instruction and therapy for a longer period of time.
Gateway is Located in the Panhandle of Florida. Boys Come to Gateway from Around the Country. Call Us!
|More about boot camps for boys in or near Bayside, New York:
Bayside is a neighborhood in the northeastern section of the New York City borough of Queens. Bayside is known as one of the most expensive areas to live in Queens, with well kept homes and landscaping. The neighborhood is part of Queens Community Board 11.

STRIKE THE RIGHT BALANCE Today's converged multi-service networks need high capacity, availability, reliability and security with low latency and true affordability. In addition, you have budgetary, environmental, infrastructure and deployment requirements that have to be considered. Satisfying all these conditions takes a real balancing act. Our Cambium Point-to-Point (PTP) 800 Series Licensed Ethernet Microwave solutions strike just the right balance of performance and cost. THE PERFECT FIT
PTP 800i ALL-INDOOR SOLUTIONS
PTP 800 solutions are designed to satisfy the demand for reliable, high-throughput, and secure Internet Protocol (IP-based) licensed-microwave communications at an affordable price. Within the PTP 800 family of solutions, we offer two equipment architectures – split-mount and all-indoor. The solutions are designed to provide connectivity and backhaul for a broad array of applications, while giving you the flexibility to choose the architecture that best meets your tower and facility considerations.
Our PTP 800i All-Indoor systems deliver up to 236 Mbps (full duplex) over configurable channel bandwidths from 10 to 40 MHz. The radios operate over Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC) authorized 6 and 11 GHz frequencies and the FCC-authorized 7 GHz frequency. For deployments where weather conditions limit tower climbs or where towers are located in areas that are not easily accessible, our All-Indoor solution offers an excellent alternative. Once installed, you have convenient access to the equipment without a tower climb.
TYPICAL CUSTOMERS • Public Safety Agencies • Government – Civilian and Military • Oil and Gas Companies • Transportation Organizations • Utility Companies • Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) • Banks and Financial Institutions • Enterprises • Carriers
PTP 800 SPLIT-MOUNT SOLUTIONS Our PTP 800 Split-Mount systems deliver up to 368 Mbps (full duplex) throughput with user-configurable channel bandwidths from 7 to 56 MHz. The systems operate in the 6 to 38 GHz radio frequency (RF) bands, providing a range of traditional licensed microwave options that comply with your local regulatory guidelines.1 Our Split-Mount systems are easy to deploy and typically are installed in a day or two. PTP 800 Split-Mount links consist of an outdoor radio unit (ODU), a Compact Modem Unit (CMU), an antenna and the appropriate accessories. The radio unit and antenna are deployed on a tower, mast or rooftop. The ODU is connected directly to the antenna and cable-connected to the CMU which is installed inside your building or equipment housing structure. Our Split-Mount systems offer the convenience of an indoor CMU with the cost savings afforded by cable versus waveguide.
PTP 800 Outdoor Unit (ODU)
PTP 800i All-Indoor links consist of an Indoor Radio Frequency Unit (IRFU) and a CMU installed inside a building or equipment housing structure. Both units are designed to be rack mounted. All-Indoor systems use the same CMU as our Split-Mount systems. The high-power radio sends and receives transmissions through a waveguide which connects the IRFU to an antenna on a tower, mast or rooftop. You can custom configure your PTP 800 solution as an all split-mount system, an all-indoor system, or a combination of the two, allowing you to engineer your wireless network in the most cost-efficient manner. PTP 800i solutions offer the highest transmit power and system gain in their category, enabling the radios to transmit reliably over distances up to 50 miles (80 km) in a single hop. Embedded spatial diversity helps to overcome any interference and fading caused by atmospheric conditions.
Local regulatory requirements should be confirmed prior to system purchase.

So, you can communicate over water and flat terrain. Plus, the system's eco-mode reduces power consumption.
CAPACITY AS YOU GROW Typically, demand for capacity grows during the life of a network. To accommodate that growth, you can purchase the PTP 800 throughput you need today and increase throughput capacity as needed. This capacity-as-you-grow scalability can reduce your initial capital expenditure by not having to pay for tomorrow's needs with today's budget. Instead, you can match throughput capacity to your application requirements or, for carriers and service providers, to your developing demand and revenue stream. In addition, you can assign different throughput capacities to the up and down links. PTP 800 Compact Modem Units are shipped with a factoryset 10 Mbps capacity cap, meaning that throughput is set to a maximum of 10 Mbps at the user Ethernet port. When you require more than 10 Mbps, you can upgrade the throughput capacity without any change to the hardware. Single-step or step-by-step capacity upgrades can be implemented at the time of purchase and/or anytime after deployment.
ZERO-DOWNTIME ADAPTIVE MODULATION The PTP 800's dynamic Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) feature provides performance benefits for many IP-based applications. When ACM is selected, the system automatically "up-shifts" and "down-shifts" the modulation and/or coding rate as path conditions change. This enables radio transmitters and receivers to negotiate the highest mutually sustainable data rate. During good weather, the radio will "up-shift" to a higher modulation level and/or higher coding rate to improve spectral efficiency and increase throughput and availability. If the link's Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) falls below the threshold that your link can sustain, as can occur during heavy rain, the radio will "down shift" to a lower modulation level and/or lower coding rate. The resulting improvement in receive sensitivity enables your link to continue operating. With exceptionally smooth change steps, errorless coding and modulation technology, and a hitless algorithm, you will experience no service interruption as the modulation steps from one level to another. Many comparable systems need several seconds to adjust the modulation mode which causes outages as the radios switch modes.
PTP 800 BROCHURE from Release 05-00 – PAGE 3
FAILSAFE COMMUNICATIONS There are many applications such as 9-1-1 dispatch, video surveillance, and online stock trades for which a communication outage is just not acceptable. In such crucial situations, you will want hardware redundancy to support your vital functions with uninterrupted, realtime communications. While hardware redundancy is not required to deploy PTP 800 links, it is recommended for each link which supports a critical application or process.
MULTI-LEVEL SECURITY • FIPS 140-2 • 128/256-bit AES encryption • HTTPS/TLS and SNMP v3 • Authenticated SNTP • Identity-based user accounts • Event management • Quick-restore configuration file • Vulnerability scanning and resolution
PTP 800 links can be deployed as 1+1 hot standby (HSB) links, 2+0 redundant links in a ring or mesh configuration, and non-redundant links. HSB links are designed to provide full redundancy in the event of a single CMU (Compact Modem Unit) or radio (either ODU or IRFU) failure at one or both ends of a link. If a failure occurs, the secondary unit will automatically take over communications. You can also achieve redundancy by deploying PTP 800 systems in a ring or mesh configuration with two independent links and an external switch. Non-redundant links are good choices to support applications for which you would not incur significant consequences in the event of a failure. If you deploy a non-redundant link, you can later upgrade to a 1+1 or 2+0 configuration without changing your hardware.
INFORMATION SAFEGUARDS While many traditional microwave solutions offer fewer security features, our PTP 800 systems support a robust, multi-layered approach to information security. To protect your over-the-air transmissions, PTP 800 radios include our proprietary air interface. Added protection can be applied with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 197 compliant 128-bit or 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. PTP 800 systems also meet FIPS 140-22 guidelines for cryptographic algorithms, key security and tamper evidence. Together AES and FIPS 140-2 offer robust security to protect highly sensitive information from malicious incidents. (AES and FIPS 140-2 are optional features.) Added security features include: • HTTPS/TLS and SNMP v3: HTTPS/TLS, the secure version of HTTP, protects the system's management interface. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3 adds security and remote configuration enhancements to SNMP. In certain cases, a license key is required to implement these capabilities. • Authenticated SNTP: PTP 800 systems support authenticated Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) messaging.
FIPS 140-2 certification status may be confirmed at http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ STM/cmvp/inprocess.html
• RADIUS: You can employ identity-based user accounts with configurable password rules to control user access to the radios. Then Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) can be used to remotely authenticate users and their levels of access based on your network policies. • Event Management: Security and other events are logged locally and, optionally, can be sent to a centralized logging server using syslog. Typical messages include successful and failed log-in events and changes to security configuration. • Disaster Recovery: Our "save and restore" feature lets you back up a radio's operating configuration file. Then the file can be restored quickly and easily if a unit must be reset or replaced. • Vulnerability Management: Using commercially available tools, we regularly scan PTP 800 systems for vulnerabilities and those that pose significant risk are resolved.
It is less expensive to pay and insure ground-based personnel to deploy and maintain the equipment than it is for specialized personnel to climb towers and work on electronic equipment. So, eliminating tower climbs can significantly reduce operating costs. In addition, trade unions can be reluctant to approve tower climbing by their members, making all-indoor systems more viable in such cases.
Our easy-to-use Cambium PTP LINKPlanner tool allows you to accurately project performance characteristics prior to purchase based on your specific radio path conditions. You can plan and optimize a single link or multiple links simultaneously, obtain configuration details to speed deployment, display a comprehensive overview of your entire wireless network via Google™ Earth and receive a complete licensed-microwave Bill-of-Materials to simplify the ordering process. LINKPlanner is available as a standalone tool on our web site.
REDUCED INSTALLATION COSTS Optimized hardware design and easy-to-follow deploymentassistance information significantly reduce deployment man-hours and costs. A Split-Mount solution includes an ODU and a CMU. The ODU and CMU are connected by a single intermediate frequency (IF) cable. The CMU's extremely small, physical footprint greatly reduces rackspace requirements. You can even mount the CMU on a wall or place it on a table if rack space is scarce or non-existent. In our All-Indoor solution, the IRFU and CMU are installed indoors with only the antenna on a tower or rooftop. So, you do not have to climb a tower to install either the IRFU or CMU. The IRFU and antenna are connected by a waveguide. Typically, both the IRFU and CMU are rack mounted. Each IRFU can support up to two transceivers and two antenna ports – one port for the main antenna and one for a diversity antenna. All assemblies in the IRFU are field replaceable, including the transceivers, fans, branching units and RF cables.
PTP 800 BROCHURE from Release 05-00 – PAGE 4
SYSTEM INTEGRATION All PTP 800 systems integrate seamlessly with our PTP license-exempt and defined-use licensed systems, as well as our Point-to-Multipoint systems. Our comprehensive broadband portfolio gives you an array of line-of-sight (LOS), non-line-of-sight (NLOS) and ultra long-distance solutions. As a result, you have complete flexibility to configure the solution or combination of solutions that best meet your path conditions, application and infrastructure requirements, and budgetary guidelines.
Our Cambium Wireless Manager is an optional feature-rich tool that simplifies management functions and reduces the time required to manage your wireless network. From one live Google™ map view, you can monitor and manage point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and other SNMP-enabled devices. This holistic, map-based approach is designed to speed up problem resolution and boost your network uptime and availability. PTP 800 systems also contain embedded web servers to manage a link either locally or remotely and are designed to easily integrate with Web-based or SNMP-based network management systems. Plus, you can choose either in-band or out-of-band management.
PERFORMANCE BOOSTING TOOLS PTP 800 systems include industry-leading metrics to help you attain the best possible performance from your wireless system. Those metrics include antenna alignment information, throughput measurements, measurements of signal level and quality, and troubleshooting diagnostics.

Massive Filament Snakes Over Half A Million Miles Across Sun's Surface
Why so sad, sun? NASA's Solar Dynamics (SDO) spacecraft has spotted the sun looking like a frowny face, thanks to a massive, dark line snaking across the sun's surface. Just check out the image below, which was snapped on Feb. 10, 2015.
(Story continues below image.)
A solar filament, seen as a dark, snaking line across the lower half of the sun, hovers above the sun's surface.
The line, called a "solar filament," is 533,000 miles long when stretched out–that's longer than 67 Earths lined up, according to NASA. Solar filaments are clouds of cool, dense gas floating above the sun's surface, held in place by the sun's magnetic field.
They can last for several days or weeks until they collapse, or erupt–triggering what scientists call "coronal mass ejections," in which solar material is hurled into the sun's atmosphere or space.
This "mosaic" image, captured on Feb. 12, 2015, shows the sun and the filament in multiple wavelengths.
SDO celebrated its fifth anniversary Wednesday, having launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. on Feb. 11, 2010. To date, it has taken more than 200 million images of the sun. Just check out some —> Read More Here

Her darkness will be her undoing...His love will only nurture that darkness...
Love seems to rely on self-deception. Relationships are for idiotic breeders. It's all bullshit, if you ask me. People constantly lie to each other and stab each other in the back; they break their promises and break one another. Their infidelities destroy their "picture perfect" family, and their selfishness eradicates all the noble virtues of love. That's why I've been single for so long....Read On

"Life is Tweet"
[Re-posted from The Social Enterprise (Down Under) Blog.]
I thought it was worth flagging this article which grabbed my attention. It isn't just the astonishing statistic that there are now more people on Twitter in the UK (10 million) than buying newspapers (9,002,963) – which in and of itself is astounding. But it is the fact that even a baby-boomer, fairly old-school politician such as John Prescott (former Deputy PM under Tony Blair) has appreciated the huge importance and power of social media in mainstream society. Yet Twitter is only six years old!
It isn't all about Twitter of course. Quite often all the focus is on the ubiquitous micro-blogging service, but a whole suite of social media tools combine to have a powerful influence: LinkedIn, Facebook, Google +, Pinterest, Blogs, even the comments box at the foot of news articles. All these channels provide avenues for comment and sentiment – good or bad.
This is why it is neccessary to invest in more purpose-built tools for the job - like Radian6 - that can quickly provide a view of all channels, not just Twitter; and understand and prioritise whether something requires a response, action or simply to be heard.
@johnprescott's comment that:
"Twitter is OUR media, the public have become the news editors and the Twitter trend list is the running order"
…is in a way an echo of what we often say at salesforce.com in relation to social media – that no longer do marketeers control their brand but the brand instead is an amalgam of what customers are saying about it on social media. This is why it is so important to listen, and so important to – as we say – line up for the customer where they are, instead of making the customer line up at your store of call centre. The balance of power has fundamentally shifted in a very short space of time and as a result organisations – media organisations, companies and even governments – can no longer expect to operate as if nothing has changed. Those that do will swiftly become irrelevant.
As salesforce.com CEO and founder Marc Benioff (@Benioff) said this week in an article on the BBC:
"Rather than fear this shift, we must use it to stay closer to customers, connect to them and engage with them in entirely new ways. The companies that will be successful in the future recognise the need for fundamentally changing the way they engage with their customers, and are transforming themselves into social enterprises and radically altering the way they manage their businesses."
If a veteran like John Prescott has got the message, it is a measure of how mainstream this reality
has become.
