Video Wills, Kate & Harry Want A National Conversation On Mental Health
Men are less likely to talk than women with 54% of women having had a conversation compared to 37% of men.
More than 150 people have been arrested in a gang crime crackdown ahead of the Notting Hill Carnival.
Scotland Yard teams staged a series of dawn raids on Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 August 2014 and retrieved weapons, including two machine guns and a handgun, crack cocaine and around £93,000 in cash.
Teams from the Metropolitan and City of London police took part in the operation, which saw the three guns, ammunition, crack and cash found at one raid in Lambeth, south London, and 40 rocks of the class A drug seized at another in Westminster, central London.
Ingredients for making crystal meth were found at one search in Southwark, and a kilo of cocaine was found in Bexley, south east London.
Several of those arrested and released on bail will be banned from the Carnival, with officers known as "super-recognisers" primed to spot them in the crowds if they do break the rules and turn up.
Chief Superintendent Robyn Williams said: "We are committed to ensuring that Notting Hill Carnival remains a safe, vibrant and enjoyable event.
"Today's operation was aimed at ensuring that those who set out with the intention of causing trouble at Carnival will not succeed. By once again using our team of super-recognisers, we will quickly be able to identify and remove anyone prohibited from the event.
"If you know anyone who is planning to use Notting Hill Carnival to commit crime, please call Crimestoppers anonymously to help us keep the event a safe celebration."

Phase II Trial of XL184 (Cabozantinib) Plus Erlotinib in Patients With Advanced EGFR-Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Who Have Progressed on Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) Therapy
I. To evaluate for efficacy by response rate (RR) when patients with advanced non-small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation who have
progressed following EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy are treated with XL184
(cabozantinib [cabozantinib-s-malate]) and erlotinib (erlotinib hydrochloride).
I. Determine progression free survival (PFS) for combination XL184 (cabozantinib) and
erlotinib in EGFR mutation positive patients following progression on erlotinib.
II. Assess overall survival. III. Evaluate change in tumor growth rate on XL184
(cabozantinib) and erlotinib.
IV. Evaluate type, severity, duration and outcome of toxicities. V. Correlate outcome with
tumor biomarkers such as met proto-oncogene (MET) expression, T790M mutation, and serum
markers of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and MET pathways in a preliminary
Patients receive cabozantinib-s-malate orally (PO) daily and erlotinib hydrochloride PO once
daily (QD) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 12 weeks for 1 year and
then annually thereafter.

Iodine is a chemical element that is needed for human growth, metabolic function and the production of thyroid hormone. The body does not make iodine, so it is an essential part of your diet. Iodine is found in various foods like Fish, Dairy products (such as milk, yogurt, and cheese), fruits, vegetables, iodized salt and seaweed.
Research has shown if you do not have enough iodine in your body, you cannot make enough thyroid hormone. There is increasing evidence that low iodine is related to various diseases, including cancer, enlargement of the thyroid , fibrocystic breast disease, hypothyroidism, miscarriage, stillbirth and mental retardation in infants and children whose mothers were iodine deficient during pregnancy. So iodine is important for everyone, especially infants and women who are pregnant.
Iodine and Hair Loss
Are you struggling with hair loss? Is your hair falling out in clumps in the shower. Hair loss can be distressing. Receding hairlines, bald spots, extremely thin hair are all related to iodine deficiency. Today we will see how iodine – natural element that helps hair grow miraculously.
Hair loss is a common side effect of thyroid disorders. The thyroid gland uses iodine to make the hormones thyroxine and trilodotyronine, which regulates several functions in the body, including how well we grow hair. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, nearly half of all adults in the U.S. will experience thinning hair by age 40. But thyroid patients in particular may experience hair loss earlier and more quickly than usual.
Deficiency in minerals and vitamins slows down hair growth. Iodine is one of the important mineral essential for hair growth. If you're diagnosed with a thyroid disorder from iodine deficiency, it can be treated with iodine.
Sheep farmers long ago discovered the association between iodine and hair growth. They found that sheep produced poor quality of wool as they were fed on plants grown in iodine depleted soil. In the same way human beings are effected by iodine-poor soil and plants as animals are. And hair loss may be related to this decline. According to researchers, iodine when applied tropically becomes the key element for hair strength and growth.
Here are few steps to stop and cure iodine deficiency hair loss
If you are suffering from hair loss, the first thing you need to do is have a iodine rich diet. Deficiency in iodine is one of the main reason for hair loss. In fact, iodine in combination with iron, zinc and magnesium is said to be one of the best "hair growth minerals" you can take for healthy hair.
Taking a safe amount of iodine supplement may boost hair health and growth, and may event prevent or reverse hair loss.
The use of iodine can produce positive results in preventing your hair loss. It has the ability to restore hair. Iodine restores hair by killing off fungus which eats the end of hair follicles . Iodine also contains some potent antiparasitic, antiviral and antibacterial properties which helps maintain the health of your scalp. In short, you need iodine to promote healthy hair growth and prevent hair loss.
Iodine influences the functioning of thyroid glands by assisting in the production of hormones, which in turn helps in boosting your hair growth and maintains its strength.
Iodine speeds up hair growth and increases follicle strength.
The antibacterial and anti-parasitic properties in iodine helps to fight infection on your scalp by restoring hair growth and improving the scalp tissue. This automatically makes way for speedy hair growth.
Iodine also prevents dry hair, hair loss and hair greying problem.
Iodine makes your hair thick and strengthens them from roots.
There are several types of iodine supplements in the market for you to try.
Consumption of the correct amount of iodine solves your hair loss problem. Excessive consumption of iodine can be dangerous. It decreases the flow of blood and hinders the growth of thyroid gland. It may turn toxic if used too often. Enjoy it in moderation with a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Follow these simple tips for maintaining healthy thick hair from roots.

Jocelyn Johnson, Danielle Burke, Matthew Vukovich, Kendra KattelmannHealth and Nutritional Sciences Department, South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD, USAAbstract: The purpose of this study was to determine whether weekly supplementation with nine ounces of prepackaged lean beef sticks could maintain the iron status of college endurance athletes. Thirty-four college endurance athletes (20 female, 14 male) were stratified by sex, baseline serum ferritin concentration, and use of iron supplements, and randomized into an intervention (n = 18) or control (n = 16) group. The participants in the intervention group supplemented their usual diet with nine ounces of prepackaged lean beef sticks per week and a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement containing 18 mg iron. The participants in the control group consumed their normal diet and the daily multivitamin/mineral supplement only. Body composition, dietary intake, and blood markers of iron status (hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum iron, serum ferritin, and total iron binding capacity) were measured at baseline and postintervention. A two-way analysis of variance with group and time as treatment factors was used to determine the main effect of beef supplementation on variables measured. None of the participants in this study was categorized as iron deficient at baseline or postintervention. Heme iron intake was significantly greater (P < 0.003) in the intervention group (3.1 ± 0.3 mg per day) than in the control group (1.5 ± 0.3 mg per day) as a result of the intervention. The intervention participants had significant improvements in hematocrit concentrations; there were, however, no differences in blood iron parameters of serum iron, hemoglobin, serum ferritin, or total iron binding capacity as a result of the intervention. The results of this study suggest that daily intake of bioavailable iron may attenuate the effects of exercise on the iron status of endurance athletes.Keywords: bioavailable iron, iron status, iron deficiency, heme iron, endurance athletes, lean beef

Kizimkazi Vacation Packages
Kizimkazi is located some 30 miles (48 kilometers) from Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania.
Don't just limit yourself to Kizimkazi; Tanzania contains an abundance natural and cultural attractions waiting to be explored. If you're keen to explore more of the region, you'll find Fumba, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the southeast, and Dongwe 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the south.
Rent a vehicle and visit Zanzibar Town, a shopping and transport center for the region, situated approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) from Kizimkazi. This bigger city offers plenty of points of interest, such as Stonetown Beach, Kwale Island and Chumbe Island. Anglican Cathedral, Chapwani Island and Slave Market are other good places to visit.
For a low-cost outdoors activity that everyone will like, take the time to stop by the region's popular open-air markets.
When you hear the call of the great outdoors, do as the locals do and go rock climbing and mountain climbing. Get some down time upon the region's waters and enjoy popular watersports such as sailing or scuba diving.
Trying the food the locals eat is often about more than just nutrition. It offers a window into the regional character. Ugali (maize porridge) and also fish are popular ingredients here. Don't end your stay in Tanzania without checking out ugali (cornmeal) or vitumbua (rice cakes). Kashata ( made from coconut and ground nuts), is the perfect way to finish your meal. While you're here, you'll see locals drinking tusker beer; it's among the most popular brews in Tanzania. If you are after a typical non-alcoholic beverage, try tamamrind nectar.
No matter how far you travel and no matter how long you stay, remarkable memories of Tanzania will remain with you for a very long time.

text: Home > CGS > Mineral Resources > Mining and Scientific Press Page Image Page ContentIndex to Articles on California Mines in the Mining and Scientific Press (1860 - 1922) The Mining and Scientific Press was a weekly periodical published from 1860 to 1922 containing articles on mining and industry related topics. It focused on California and North America, but also contained articles on mining in other parts of the world. It included news and articles relevant to the industry as well as detailed descriptions of mines or mining districts. Copies of the Mining and Scientific Press can be found in some institutional and academic libraries and can also be found in digital form on the internet. This index was compiled in the mid-1930s as a card catalog by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) for the California Division of Mines and Geology. The card catalog contains more than 22,000 individual cards indexing articles related to California mines in the journal. In 1986, the California State Library Foundation copied the card catalog to microfiche. The microfiche have now been scanned to digital (pdf) files and which are available below.The User's Guide to the microfiche, included below explains the layout of the catalog and gives tips on its use. Using the Index Users' Guide for the Microfiche Introduction Index Contents Display Formats File Organization Order of Entries on Cards Accuracy of Index Entries Availability of Mining and Scientific Press File Download View Mining and Scientific PressUsing the Index The Index to Articles on California Mines in Mining and Scientific Press is now available as pdfs for download. The User's Guide is transcribed for your reference here, but is also available in pdf format. Each file numbered 01 through 19 contains a portion of the index, organized alphabetically by mine name as described in the file organization section of the documentation. A few mines with names starting with "X" were scanned out of order and area included at the end of file 19. A pdf with all of the index records (208MB) is available also available for download.Users' Guide to the Microfiche Transcribed from: User's Guide for the microfiche Introduction California history for many people begins with the Gold Rush. The tales of miners, of mines, of gold are told in many ways. The stories are well known to those interested in the growth and development of the state. The California State Library has made a special effort to include in its collection the broadest range possible of material on the Gold Rush. Of particular interest has been the identification of special indexes and guides to information that will assist the historian and scholar in conducting research on this important period of California history. The California State Library Foundation is pleased to be able to make available on microfiche the Index to Articles on California Mines in the MINING AND SCIENTIFIC PRESS, volume 1, 1860 through volume 124, March 1922. This unique index which was created as a Works Progress Administration project sponsored by the then Division of Mines of the Department of Natural Resources between 1935 and 1938 was loaned to the Foundation by the Library of the Division of Mines and Geology for purposes of preservation microfilming. We are grateful to Mr. Perry Amimoto, Geologic Information Officer and Ms. Angela Brunton, Senior Librarian, Division of Mines and Geology, Department of Conservation for their cooperation.Index ContentsThe Index is limited to articles which appeared in the Mining and Scientific Press that related to the various kinds of mines -- gold, silver, copper, iron, chrome, etc. that existed in California and were reported between 1860 and 1922.It is necessary to know the name of the specific mine to locate references to articles. Useful sources for names include Consolidated Index of Publications of the Division of Mines and Predecessor State Mining Bureau, 1880-1943 Inclusive, Bulletin 131 (September 1945) and Erwin G. Gudde, California Gold Camps, 1975. The Mining and Scientific Press is actually only one of several names by which this publication was known over its sixty-two year history. During this time it was also issued as the Scientific Press (1870-1872) and the Scientific Press and Mining Advocate. The entries in the index do not differentiate among the various titles; they are all referred to as "M&SP."Display FormatsBecause the index was created retrospectively over a relatively short period of time there is a fair degree of consistency in the content of the entries. There are two basic formats, both of which contain the same information: File OrganizationThe only point of access to the file is through the name of the mine. The mine names are arranged alphabetically by the form of the name chosen by the indexer. In the case of personal names, there are some inconsistencies, eg. Lew Wallace Mine but Lewis (Robert) Mine and Lick (James) Mining Co. and Quinn (Tim) MineIt is a good idea to check under both the first and last names if the mine name includes a personal name.Similarly, it is useful to look through several entries starting with the same word or name since there are some names that appear to be out of strict alphabetical order, eg, McKinney, Joe & Co. Mine McKinney & Granice Mine McKinney, Billy & Co. MineIt should also be noted that 'Mc' is filed as 'Mc' not as 'Mac.' Order of Entries on CardsGenerally the articles are listed in chronological order starting with the oldest volumes/year and ending with the latest volumes/years. In a few instances, however, the indexers added a reference to an earlier article/volume at the end of the later citations so one needs to scan through all the entries to be sure that an earlier article is not missed. Accuracy of Index EntriesUsers of the card file report that there are some references to volumes, issues, and pages that do not actually contain the article listed or in other cases the article may turn out to be on a different page than the one listed in the index.Availability of Mining and Scientific PressUpdate: for access information or interlibrary loan requests please contact the California State Library using the "Ask A Librarian" link. The California State Library has a complete run of the Mining and Scientific Press on microfilm and in paper. Most of the issues of Mining and Scientific Press are also available online.Abbreviation of Types of MinesMost types of mines have been abbreviated based on the symbols for elements, although a few names have been written out.AgSilverAuGoldAuPGold - placerAu-QGold - quartzBoraxBoraxCoalCoalCrChromiumCuCopperFeIronGraphiteGraphiteHgMercuryMg-C03Magnesium CarbonatePbLeadSbAntimonySlateSlateTalcTalcFile Download Users' Guide to the microfiche, PDF, 165kB 01_ABANY-MINE-TU_BAXTER-LEAD-TE.pdf, PDF, 12.8MB 02_BAXTER-MINE-S_BRANDT-MINE-SO.pdf, PDF, 13.0MB 03_BRANDT-H-CO_CHEROKEE-MINE-B.pdf, PDF, 13.2MB 04_CHEROKEE-MINE_DAVIS-MINE-SON.pdf, PDF, 13.4MB 05_DAVIS-BROS-MI_EVANS-WILLIAMS.pdf, PDF, 13.5MB 06_EVAN-BROS-MIN_GOLD-LEAF-PLUM.pdf, PDF, 13.4MB 07_GOLD-LEAF-MINE_GYPSY-MINE-SHA.pdf, PDF, 10.4MB 08_H.L.+M.C.-JO_IMMIGRANT-MINE.pdf, PDF, 14.7MB 09_IMPERATRICE-E_LAPHIER-MINE-T.pdf, PDF, 14.6MB 10_LAPING-MINE-I_MASONIC-MINE-C.pdf, PDF, 12.6MB 11_MASONIC-MINE_MOUNTAIN-BELLE.pdf, PDF, 14.1MB 12_MOUNTAIN-BELLE_MYSTIC-MINE-PL.pdf, PDF, 2.4MB 13_NB-GRAVEL-MI_OSTERMAN-AND-CO.pdf, PDF, 16.9MB 14_OSTROM-MINE-V_RALSTON-DIVEDE.pdf, PDF, 17.4MB 15_RAMBOO-MINE-S_SAWYER-CLAIM-T.pdf, PDF, 16.3MB 16_SAXON-MINE-CA_STEVENS-MINE-E.pdf, PDF, 13.5MB 17_STEVENS-AND-BR_VAUGHN-PERRY-CO.pdf, PDF, 11.4MB 18_VAUGHN+INGER_YELLOW-JACKET_M.pdf, PDF, 11.3MB 19_YELLOW-JACKET_XRAY-MINE-PLAC.pdf, PDF, 1.9MB MSP-Index-ALL-FILES.pdf A combined dataset with files 01-19, PDF, 208MBView Mining and Scientific Press Hosted by Archive.org (external link) Volumes 6-124 are available for viewing at Archive.org.

Definition Edit
The reputation economy is
|an environment where brands are built based on how they are perceived online and the promise they deliver offline. It's a marketplace where professionals are treated like products, and are rated, commented on, and judged based on reputation.[1]
Overview Edit
"Positive brand interactions will amount to new opportunities and negative ones will diminish a brand's reputation publicly. In a sense, this economy will create a marketplace that will serve as a modern permanent record for personal brands, and a centralized database for recruiters worldwide."[2]

Staying near a Subte line is good for getting around. We found our apartment in Palermo nr Avenida Santa Fe through www BYTArgentina.com and found it worked pretty well.
Another place we really liked, although it was a little out of the way was Puerto Madero. We looked at some amazing apartments there.
One thing that was annoying was that everyone seemed to want payment in US$ cash which was a bit of a PITA to carry into the country. If going in the summer, I would make sure the apt has a pool.
Report Abuse
Thank you, so much!
Report Abuse
Yes, a pool would be a requirement for that time of the year, which is one of the reasons I asked for that info. Many apartment buildings have a pool at the top. MarnieWDC and her DH also come at that time. I sense a great GTG coming!
Cash is best, as it gives you more alternatives, but some apartment owners accept other forms of payment.
I have some rather strong objections to the way the owner of this firm uses the Internet to promote himself, but you could consider his apartments, particularly if bringing cash is a problem for you.
Otherwise, one of the most respectable short-term rental firms is: http://reynoldspropiedades.com.ar/temporary_rentals/

Hola Bowsprit,
Pleased to see that you already have some good responses here. I would suggest that you consider a 2 bedroom apartment (though actually, we have found 3 bedrooms easier to find) with a pool. Staying for more than 6 weeks, it is nice to spread out a bit; plus, do not be surprised if you have friends or family deciding to visit while you are in Argentina.
We prefer Recoleta, Palermo Botanico and Palermo Sojo for available, nice apartments and for convenience, atmosphere, etc.
Reynolds Propriedades, as mentioned above, and Mikes' Apartments are good places to start, along with another of our favorites, BA Habitat. And yes, these are often paid in US Dollars in cash ...a bit up front and the remainder when you arrive, check over the apt., etc. I have friends who have been pleased with AirB&B, which, I believe, handles the funds.
You are, as AVRooster has suggested, thinking very high for rental fees...so you should have lovely apartment choices. Please post back here with any specifics....once you have decided to actually come...and we can, perhaps, make more specific, useful suggestions.
Hope you will enjoy the Search as much as I have over the last 8 years.

Gracias, MarnieWDC and everyone! I will keep you posted and am happy to hear I can lower my budget. 3 bedrooms makes a lot of sense. As does a pool. Thanks again for all your help. We're in the early stages of considering a seasonal relocation.

Bowsprit: you may need to research the matter of bringing a lot of cash to Argentina, because you can save a significant amount of money by doing so.
There are MANY threads on the subject of the "blue" rate of exchange.
Have a great time in my country.
Report Abuse
Whoa. Started reading about the blue rate of exchange! Guess we'll have to decide if we are willing to go that route. Do most people use the blue rate?
Report Abuse
Yep. Maybe MarnieWDC will comment on the subject.
Savings by paying with cash dollars exchanged at the "blue" rate anything which can be paid with a CC stand, at this writing, at about 30%.

Edging in on thread. We won't be in Argentina until 1/2 way into our 4 momth trip. Is it safe to brimg lots of cash and carry around as we travel for 2 momths. Somehow doesn't seem smart? Am I paranoid?
Report Abuse
Thanks again. I appreciate your help so much. I'm not sure this process is within my comfort zone but I'll read more about the blue rate.
Report Abuse
We exchanged $ at the blue rate several time without any problem. Indeed when asking around to check rates we found a couple of official Cambio offices offering the. same rates.
Cindyjo, no you aren't being paranoid. As you are going to be in other SA countries before hand you will be able to withdraw USD form ATMs in other countries . The $ is the official country in Ecuador and $ $ are available from dual purpose ATMs all over Peru and Bolvia. You would then reduce the amount of time you need to carry cash around. If carrying large amounts of a as we would always split it between us and spread it around our person in money belts, secret pockets etc. All about doing little things to reduce risk.
Report Abuse
If you research the matter of the "blue" rate of exchange, you will find other ways to do it, without carrying the cash during your whole trip.
One way is suggested above by top poster Crellston, but it only works if you go to other countries before going to Argentina.
Some people from the US have used https://www.xoom.com/?languageCode=en and were happy with it.
See: http://tinyurl.com/ckc8kzd
But be warned that the rate of exchange is MUCH worse than what you'd get for your cash in Argentina.
Have a great time in my country.
Report Abuse
The official, government rate is not realistic, not just...so we had no ethical issues using the cambios in Argentina. The government is trying to prevent USDollars from leaving Argentina...so it is actually aiding this goal to bring dollars in and exchange them for Arg. Pesos.
And it was not creepy or scary. If you read about it, here and on other Fora, you will likely feel the same....if not, then XOOM would be a good second choice. For visitors coming for one or two weeks, then the difference in rates is small....but for three months or so, you would surly feel the difference.

Europe's a biggish place, culturally.
Scandinavia, low countries, germany, france are definitely 'first world'. Southern Europe is 'first world' = it's miles ahead of developing countries, but it's clearly not as wealthy as the north. Eastern Europe is probably considered developing, but it's developing fast and the standard of living is pretty good.
From an economic standpoint, U. S. GDP/person is 54000 as of 2014. In Canada we're at 50000. The United Kingdom is 46000. Germany is actually 48000 for instance, the Netherlands 52000. France is 43000. Sweden is 59000 - higher than U. S. Finland is same as Canada.
If you go to southern Europe, italy is 35000, spain 30000 for instance. Greece is now at 21000, so that's a big gap vs. Canada or the US. They're close to say south korea which is 28000 (greece wishes it was) Italy is on par with Japan, per capita
Countries like poland, slovakia, lithuania etc. are in the teens.
For what it's worth, Norway has been awash in oil money with a small population, and has a GDP/capital almost double the U. S.
From a military standpoint, it's the U. S., then everyone else by a mile. Global rankings of the top 10 militaries, in order, go: USA, Russia, China, India, UK, France, South Korea, Germany, Japan, Turkey.
So that gives you some idea as well.00|00|0

CloudArmor: Supporting Reputation-Based Trust Management for Cloud Services

CloudArmor: Supporting Reputation-Based Trust Management for Cloud Services
Trust management is one of the most challenging issues for the adoption and growth of cloud computing. The highly dynamic, distributed, and non-transparent nature of cloud services introduces several challenging issues such as privacy, security, and availability. Preserving consumers' privacy is not an easy task due to the sensitive information involved in the interactions between consumers and the trust management service. Protecting cloud services against their malicious users (e.g., such users might give misleading feedback to disadvantage a particular cloud service) is a difficult problem. Guaranteeing the availability of the trust management service is another significant challenge because of the dynamic nature of cloud environments. In this article, we describe the design and implementation of CloudArmor, a reputation-based trust management framework that provides a set of functionalities to deliver trust as a service (TaaS), which includes i) a novel protocol to prove the credibility of trust feedbacks and preserve users' privacy, ii) an adaptive and robust credibility model for measuring the credibility of trust feedbacks to protect cloud services from malicious users and to compare the trustworthiness of cloud services, and iii) an availability model to manage the availability of the decentralized implementation of the trust management service. The feasibility and benefits of our approach have been validated by a prototype and experimental studies using a collection of real-world trust feedbacks on cloud services.
- According to researchers at Berkeley, trust and security is ranked one of the top 10 obstacles for the adoption of cloud computing. Indeed, Service-Level Agreements (SLAs).
- Consumers' feedback is a good source to assess the overall trustworthiness of cloud services. Several researchers have recognized the significance of trust management and proposed solutions to assess and manage trust based on feedbacks collected from participants.
- Guaranteeing the availability of TMS is a difficult problem due to the unpredictable number of users and the highly dynamic nature of the cloud environment.
- A Self-promoting attack might have been performed on cloud service sy, which means sx should have been selected instead.
- Disadvantage a cloud service by giving multiple misleading trust feedbacks (i.e., collusion attacks)
- Trick users into trusting cloud services that are not trustworthy by creating several accounts and giving misleading trust feedbacks (i.e., Sybil attacks).
- Cloud service users' feedback is a good source to assess the overall trustworthiness of cloud services. In this paper, we have presented novel techniques that help in detecting reputation based attacks and allowing users to effectively identify trustworthy cloud services.
- We introduce a credibility model that not only identifies misleading trust feedbacks from collusion attacks but also detects Sybil attacks no matter these attacks take place in a long or short period of time (i.e., strategic or occasional attacks respectively).
- We also develop an availability model that maintains the trust management service at a desired level. We also develop an availability model that maintains the trust management service at a desired level.
- TrustCloud framework for accountability and trust in cloud computing. In particular, TrustCloud consists of five layers including workflow,
- Propose a multi-faceted Trust Management (TM) system architecture for cloud computing to help the cloud service users to identify trustworthy cloud service providers.
- Cloud Service Provider Layer
- Trust Management Service Layer
- Cloud Service Consumer Layer
- Sybil Attacks Detection
Cloud Service Provider Layer
In first module, we develop Cloud Service Provider Layer. This layer consists of different cloud service providers who offer one or several cloud services, i.e., IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and SaaS (Software as a Service), publicly on the Web. These cloud services are accessible through Web portals and indexed on Web search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Baidu. Interactions for this layer are considered as cloud service interaction with users and TMS, and cloud services advertisements where providers are able to advertise their services on the Web.
Trust Management Service Layer
This layer consists of several distributed TMS nodes which are hosted in multiple cloud environments in different geographical areas. These TMS nodes expose interfaces so that users can give their feedback or inquire the trust results in a decentralized way. Interactions for this layer include: i) cloud service interaction with cloud service providers, ii) service advertisement to advertise the trust as a service to users through the Internet, iii) cloud service discovery through the Internet to allow users to assess the trust of new cloud services, and iv) Zero-Knowledge Credibility Proof Protocol (ZKC2P) interactions enabling TMS to prove the credibility of a particular consumer's feedback.
Cloud Service Consumer Layer
Finally, this layer consists of different users who use cloud services. For example, a new startup that has limited funding can consume cloud services (e.g., hosting their services in Amazon S3). Interactions for this layer include: i) service discovery where users are able to discover new cloud services and other services through the Internet, ii) trust and service interactions where users are able to give their feedback or retrieve the trust results of a particular cloud service, and iii) registration where users establish their identity through registering their credentials in IdM before using TMS.
Sybil Attacks Detection
Since users have to register their credentials at the Trust Identity Registry, we believe that Multi-Identity Recognition is applicable by comparing the values of users' credential attributes from the identity records I. The main goal of this factor is to protect cloud services from malicious users who use multiple identities (i.e., Sybil attacks) to manipulate the trust results. In a typical Trust Identity Registry, the entire identity records I are represented as a list of m users' primary identities.

We select the world's best technical individuals for our programmes. You don't need a team to apply, as we believe that we are the best place to find your co-founder. If selected for the cohort you'll have the opportunity to co-found with some of the brightest technologists in the world. Others have earned their engineering stripes at companies such as Google, Palantir, Amazon, Apple, AirBnB and Uber. During the first three months EF funds you as an individual (£1,200 per month in London; S$5,000 per month in Singapore) to allow you to explore co-founding relationships
Developing good ideas is hard, but we can help you with this. We have helped more than 300 founders to develop their ideas. Some people bring ideas into EF (often inspired by academic projects or industry experience), but often people apply without a fixed idea. We don't select on the quality of your idea - instead, we'll help you develop the best idea for your skill set by discovering your Edge during the programme.
From Day 1 you'll be mentored weekly by one of our Partners. We have some of Europe's top exited founders, who have built businesses worth billions, as part of our team. You'll meet your Partner weekly and develop a close relationship. They'll help you build something technically ambitious, find your first customers and avoid the mistakes commonly made by first-time founders.
During the second half of the programme your Partner will help you focus on turning your initial concept into a product people want. To support those building cutting-edge research technology, we can connect you with our Science Partners who include world-leading academics such as Zoubin Ghahramani (University of Cambridge) and Phil Blunsom (University of Oxford /DeepMind).
EF provides you with capital to live in London/Singapore during the programme, alongside making an investment of £10,000/s$25,000 in the company you create. We also provide a further 18 months of hands-on support from our Partners after Demo Day.
"Listen to the EF team and your VPs. They've done this a hundred times before and have recognised patterns."
- Khary Francis (EF5)
At the end of Month 6 your company will present at Demo Day. This is an opportunity to pitch to Europe's top investors for funding. EF companies raise the largest seed rounds in Europe. We'll help you navigate your seed round and ensure you get access to the best investors in Europe, the US and Asia.
Once you make it to Demo Day, you will receive an additional 18 months of support from EF.
We'll continue to work with you as you build your team and scale, with continued Partner mentoring, hiring support and advice, as well as working with our dedicated funding team. You're joining more than just a programme: we back our founders for life.
"Without EF CloudNC simply could not have existed; I never would have met my co-founder, never would have had runway for the first six months, never would have met the right investors, and much more…"
- Theo Saville, CloudNC
EF cohort members also receive $1million worth of discounts from leading service providers. You'll also have access to legal support from Taylor Wessing and accounting support from KPMG during your time at EF.

JOHN McCAIN'S "PALPABLE PAIN"....From Todd Purdum's profile of John McCain in Vanity Fair today:
But irrepressible candor has always been McCain's irresistible force, and its embers still burn bright. In Sparks, Nevada, this week, when a grouchy older man responded to McCain's support for an immigrant guest-worker program by saying the United States needed to reform its child-labor laws to let young Anglo-Saxon American farm kids learn the value of hard work, McCain stubbornly responded that he still favored the guest-worker initiative.That's it? McCain disagreed with some crotchety old coot who wants to throw out our child labor laws so that more white kids can work in the fields? And then followed up by — stop the presses! — not flip-flopping on a signature position he's held for years? The bar for "irrepressible candor" sure is getting low these days.

Pied Piper guests filled 1/3 of ship.: Celebrity Reflection Cruise Review by SRQtravelqueen
Overall Member Rating
Pied Piper guests filled 1/3 of ship.
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Check-in was very easy when arriving to the port. Our cabin was ready and very clean.
Our room attendant, Paulino, was the best we've had while cruising on Celebrity. Hand's Down! His English was excellent and lovely smile was sincere. Requested extra towels, soaps etc were always waiting for us. Larger than usual showers are a plus on Reflection. Toilet flushed easily at times and not at all other times. Staff directions to hit hard did help sometimes...But, if you are arthritic or have weak wrists this will be difficult for you. (Funny how all public toilet flushed easily More each time) Storage drawers seem less than on Eclipse and Solstice. Mattress was very comfortable.
Due to the PP group size and their dining together, our usual deck 3 round dining table was now on deck 4, rectangular, difficult to talk to friends we were traveling with, and stuck back in a corner. Our waiter, Arturo, was just OK. Rarely remembered requests and spent too much time explaining simple preparations we didn't ask about. Food is better than I've had on other ships, but continues to decline from recent years of cruising Celebrity. The Oceanview Grill food was good but sometimes cold and burgers at Mast a good standby.
Appetizers brought to our CC cabin each day were usually unedible. A few stale chips, 4 oily olives and possibly a hummis of unknown origin were not appealing. Remember when we looked forward to removing the metal cover and enjoying.
The Classic Beverage package was a wonderful 1,2,3 choice. Wines by glass were not as nice as on the Constellation in March with same package option. The bartenders were slow and seemed not to know simple bar skills. They used their fingers to put fruit in the glasses and then touched guest cards to ring charges. The bar servers, too, made numerious order mistakes. Plus by end of cruise, our preferred vodka was not available and subsitutions were different with each bar frequented. More than once, bars ran out of olives. We always had to wait quite awhile to order a drink.
The second formal night offered all passenger favorites: lobster tail (gets smaller each time on board), lamb chops (thinner each time we have them), beef wellington. Cutting cost seems to be Celebrity's goal as the high-priced entrees are offered only on the same night.
Caribbean ports are all the same, so no need to describe experiences. Easy off and return.
Sitting one evening at the Sunset Bar, my husband's silk pants had large dirt spots on the seat and side of leg. Sending to dry cleaner on board was disasterous as they were returned with a different feel of fabric, pressed horribly and not clean. Discussion with Guest Relations was not a good experience. Why does Celebrity have staff that do not have command of the English language deal with passengers? We are hoping our personal cleaner will be able to return to original soft fabric and clean.
Reflection is a beautiful ship and well maintained. It was a perk to meet our Captain's Host, Ti-An, again this cruise. She made it very special for us.
We are cruising on Oceania Riviera in February and our experience will determine if we come back to Celebrity again. Less

Cabin review:
Portside just in front of Sky Suite offers a small bump out so balcony is larger than others. Cabin was very quiet, possibly due to being next to a suite. Bed is near balcony and feet face bow of ship.

I recommend this cruise for first time cruisers: Bahamas Celebration Cruise Review by Too young to retire!
Overall Member Rating
I recommend this cruise for first time cruisers
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Miami
Embarkation is very well organized. The lines were never long. Going through customs in the Bahamas at Freeport (Grand Bahama) was a breeze. We stayed at the Grand Lucayan Resort, which was a free night included with the cruise. The staff there was friendly, but seemed mostly pretty bored with their work. Once you drew them out with some kind More comments, they were more willing to interact with you. The restaurants at Grand Lucayan were mostly on a rotational basis. I guess with low season, there weren't enough tourists to keep them open all day, every day. The food at the hotel was so-so. Nothing to write home about and rather pricey. The drinks felt watered down and as always, extras were not cheap, so we stuck mainly to buying our own liquor. There is a very friendly marketplace right across the street from the hotel. The locals there were really friendly and desperate for business. You can see that like all other islands, the Bahamas are still in a recession due to decline in tourism. Our re-embarkation the next day went smoothly as well. The lines at the U.S. customs upon arrival in the Port of Miami was a tedious affair, with lines moving very slowly. The sooner you disembark in the morning, the faster you will go through.
All in all, this was a great experience. My husband and I met some really nice people on the cruise ship. We would recommend this cruise to everyone. I had never cruised before, and this was a test to see how well I would fare, as I tend to get seasick. I was pleasantly surprised at how stable the ship was for a converted ferry and am now looking forward to our next, longer cruise in April. Less

Cabin review:
Cabin was very spacious as we had upgraded to a larger one. Very clean with nice furniture. We had a small fridge with wine, beer and pop, as well as some snacks. We did not order room service as there was so much fun to be had just enjoying the different decks of the ship. Our steward was very attentive. Great location mid ship.

Last week Happy Bhag Jayegi poster came out only to heighten our curiosity. The poster had Diana Penty turned around with a backpack on her shoulders. We were pretty intrigued to see Penty's look from the front. Now we have a still featuring Diana Penty. Take a look below.
Penty plays the titular character. She was born in a regular family residing in Amritsar. But Harpreet Kaur aka Happy is meant for things that are irregular, and extraordinary. Happy shouldn't be taken lightly, for she is self-dependant and sharp-tongued. When in crisis, she'd find solutions to her problems, most of which were irrational and driven by emotions, although they seem perfectly logical to her.
The 'run-com' is directed by Mudassar Aziz and besides Diana Penty, stars Abhay Deol, Jimmy Sheirgill and Ali Fazal. The film is being produced by Krishika Lulla and Anand L. Rai, known for directing the widely acclaimed film Tanu Weds Manu with Kangana Ranaut in the lead role.
To recall, Penty was a model and made her Bollywood debut Homi Adajania's commercially successful romantic comedy Cocktail alongside Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in the year 2012. She gained appreciation for her performance in the film. Speaking of the film, Rubina A Khan said: "Cocktail is a contemporary film that reflects life as it happens all around us…. just as crazy, twisted, beautiful, funny, weird and lonely as anyone's life can be. It's about easy choices and hard decisions and how life still goes on, despite it all. It's a cocktail you definitely wanna try!"
The poster couldn't help but remind people of the 1999 American romantic comedy Runaway Bride starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere and directed by Garry Marshall. Happy Bhag Jayegi seems interesting enough to draw audiences. It will hit the theatres on August 19, 2016.

The number of Airbnb guests in the country surged 500% last year. That jump coincided with a record number of foreign visitors to Japan — nearly 20 million — which boosted demand for accommodations in a nation where hotel rooms are often in short supply. The Silicon Valley startup's explosive growth isn't popular with everyone in Japan, though. Some communities — like Tokyo's upscale Brillia Mare Ariake complex — are banning vacation rentals altogether….

HD Log Silver edition offers cross file log searching. With it, you can search for clips in any of your logs across the hard disk or network. HD Log Silver also supports digital media file logging. Auto-log from QuickTime video files. Link one or more QT or MPEG files to a clip (e.g. one for the clip, one for the whole tape or segment).
The software also works seamlessly with Contour Design, Inc.'s Jog and Shuttle Controllers. This collaboration gives users the ability to control frequently used commands with the touch of a button on the external controller, and enables jog wheel control of RS422 or FireWire decks. The pre-configured settings for ShuttleXpress and ShuttlePro are available for download.

Is there a script or extension or plugin that kind of works like the intel power manager, but instead of scheduling a suspend or shut down, it can schedule either a log off or lock of a workstation?
Jun 16, 2011 at 2:26 UTC
In Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) right click on the user, properties, go to account tab, then click Logon hours.

Are you using a domain? What server and workstation operating systems?
If you are using a domain, you can auto-lock pc's after a period of idle time through group policy.
Jun 16, 2011 at 12:23 UTC
You can define log on hours for a group and then force log off in a GPO based on Log on hours.
Jun 16, 2011 at 12:40 UTC
Yes, on a domain, can you steer me in the right direction on where and how to set that up in GPO, not too familiar with group policies. Thanks, that just might work.
Jun 16, 2011 at 12:42 UTC
The GP is lcated at Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options > Network Security: Force logoff when logon hours expire.
Jun 16, 2011 at 12:44 UTC
I was wrong about being able to apply them to a group. To configure mutliple users you have to select them all, then select properties, go to account tab, then click Logon hours.
Jun 16, 2011 at 12:48 UTC
ok, i might be going there the wrong way, i went to gpedit.msc? or is there another way. trying to learn more about servers so this is a good learning experience here.
When i follow that path gpedit.msc: computer config, windows settings, security settings, local policies, security options, network securty: force logoff it says "To affect domain accounts, this setting must be defined in default domain policy."
Jun 16, 2011 at 12:55 UTC
You should be using GPMC. Try using gpmc.msc. This will allow you to view your existing policies and then you can edit the specific one (Default Domain). GPedit is deprecated I believe.

Jun 16, 2011 at 1:59 UTC
ok, got in there, now.. once i find the policty to enable force logoff when logon hours expire, how to set logon hours for users?

Restructuring the Polish Railway for Competition
The Polish government is considering methods of the privatizing and possible restructuring of the Polish National Railway, PKP, that would improve the efficiency of the railroad while creating some form of competition in order to prevent monopoly pricing. Traditional intramodal competition is unlikely to be feasible in the foreseeable future, and for the most important commodities carried by PKP, intermodal competition is not important. A proposal under discussion is to separate the ownership of track and trains and seek to create competition among different train operators over a single track network. This paper compares this proposal to similar proposals and arrangements in other countries and evaluates its feasibility for Poland.

We could quite easily spend time telling you how wonderful we are but we prefer to let our clients do the talking….
Don't just take our word for it....
James Richmond, Director, JR Recruitment
We used Strategies to build & design our website. They've done an amazing job and understood exactly what we wanted!
Very efficient and professional service. I would highly recommend them.
Daryl Willcox, Founder, ResponseSource
We found that Strategies provided us with the most cost effective solution, while providing us with the flexibility to customise the design of the job site to create a candidate and recruiter experience that reflected our brand and the sectors that we operate in."
"Throughout the process we found the team at Strategies extremely helpful and made the migration over to the new platform stress free. We have already received positive feedback from recruiters on the look and feel of the job site, whilst candidate applications and registrations increased over the short period that we have been on the new platform.
Michelle Brightly, Managing Director, Bridge Recruitment
We have worked closely with the team at Strategies who took time to fully understand our brief. They have always been happy to help and very supportive throughout the design and creation of our website. We love our website.
Jonathan Kyle, Director of Strategy, Green Jobs
The Strategies Team have done an outstanding job with the redesign of our 9 websites. They have displayed great project management skills throughout the rebuild and have been extremely proactive with regards to making suggestions and improvements that have been implemented into the new designs of our various websites.
This has meant that the functionality and look of the 9 websites is much better than I ever imagined they would be.
Ali Wallace, Managing Director, DNA
We were struggling with how to approach mobilising our existing site. Strategies have been a breath of fresh air from the start. Being experts in recruitment and the intricacies of our market, they quickly helped us to understand and simplify the process from start to finish.
We actually ended up refreshing our brand and creating a new all singing all dancing website. Great work guys and gals.
Kath Reynolds, Director, Balance Recruitment
We are absolutely thrilled to be able to announce the launch of our brand new website! The combination of the creative minds of Strategies and our Marketing Executive, Tracey Reece, has resulted in a site that not only has a fresh, clean and modern feel but also improved user accessibility and is fully mobile responsive.
It simply is a true testament to the hard work of both parties involved and we look forward to continuing this relationship in the future to ensure we are offering the best possible candidate and client online experience.
Carl Smithhurst, Systems & Marketing Specialist, Servoca Plc
The recruitment industry has changed over the years, and as such we knew that we needed to change the emphasis, and the whole feel of our website, to reflect this, and having researched the market, we chose Strategies to help us make our vision a reality.
This was a massive project for us, updating 4 group websites in one project, but Hayley managed the project with ease, especially given the complexities of working on custom site design, and the number of tweaks we added throughout the project. Communication was excellent throughout, and any potential issues were identified and discussed quickly and efficiently by all members of the team.
The new websites have exceeded expectations, and we look forward to our continued working relationship with Strategies.
Chris Tuthill, Operations Manager, Uxbridge Employment
When selecting a web design partner we were very keen to source a company that held the same importance on customer service that we are renowned for, and Strategies won out with their offering of a complete design and hosting service, supported by highly supportive testimonials. When sourcing endorsements we particularly liked Craig's approach of "feel free to call anyone from our portfolio" – he couldn't have been more confident we would not find a negative one (he was right).
Our decision to partner with Strategies was the right one! From first call to website "go-live" and following support advice; Strategies have excelled in the service they offer and every member of the team we have dealt with has been highly professional and a real credit to their company.
Paul Cellini, Marketing Manager Liquid Personnnel
Now that our website is live, I just wanted to say thank you for your work. It looks brilliant and we're all very happy with it. Particular thanks to the design team who have done a brilliant job and to Paul, who has been incredibly helpful and responsive.
Everything has been made clear and easy to understand, and I have had quite a lot of amends tweaks and questions to ask, but Paul's speed of response and quality of the changes being made has been brilliant throughout.
James Flemming, MD, Jimmy Red Recruitment
From the outset the Strategies have been an excellent partner for us on the design and development of our new recruitment website. Our request was quite unique in that we did not want a traditional recruitment website so a one-size fits all solution would not have been suitable for us.
Strategies were in a position to offer a bespoke design and create a unique feel to the website which should hopefully help us to stand out from the crowd. I would highly recommend their service to any company looking to revolutionise their current website. Thank you Strategies and I look forward to working with the company again in the future.

Many millions of years ago, dinosaurs ruled the Earth and sea dragons were not just Hollywood creations, but fearsome predators that stalked the oceans. It's a world that vanished long ago, but one that continues to fascinate those seeking to understand the origins of life on our planet.
Starting today, anyone, anywhere can explore this world on Google Arts & Culture. We've partnered with 50+ of the world's leading natural history institutions to bring this lost world to life again online. More than 150 interactive stories from experts, 300,000 new photos and videos, and more than 30 virtual tours await you...
With just a few clicks, you can come face to face with a 180 million year old giant, as virtual reality raises the colossal sea dragon from extinction. Discovered in Dorset in the U.K. and residing at London's Natural History Museum. The Rhomaleosaurus — to give it its formal name — can now be explored in 360 degrees.
We also used VR to bring the Giraffatitan back to life in Berlin's natural history museum. Standing at 13 meters (42 feet), it's one of the tallest dinosaurs that ever lived. It was twice as tall as today's giraffes, and could easily put its head through a fourth floor window.
We wanted to give you a glimpse of how these colossal creatures actually looked. So we worked with ecologists, paleontologists and biologists to put virtual skin and flesh on the preserved skeletons. From the size of the eye to the position of the snout and the bend of the neck, the texture and creases of the skin were all painstakingly recreated, and verified by a team of scientists. For the best experience, use a viewer like Google Cardboard to look the beast in the eye.
In addition to the VR experiences, this global exhibition of natural history has plenty more for experts and armchair explorers alike:
The free collection opens today at g.co/naturalhistory and through the Google Arts & Culture mobile app on iOS and Android. And if you're a teacher, there are more than 20 new Google Expeditions waiting for you and your classroom to discover. We hope you enjoy this journey through the history of nature as much as we do.

The tower of the Abbazia di San Mercuriale, with its height of 75 meters, is one of the tallest in Italy. The first church on the site was destroyed by fire in 1173. The present structure was built with brick in the Lombard-Romanesque style and took only 7 years, making it one of the most miraculous construction jobs in the history of Italy.
The colonnade to the right of the church is part of the abbey's cloister.

Planet Jollywood
In a world where criticism is biting, snarky, and fleeting as ever, there's something to be said for sitting down and listening to someone explain his analysis of a work in more than 140 characters. While the humorous, jibe-heavy commentary method famously employed by MST3K! and RiffTrax is nothing new, it will be the means by which the National Comedy Theatre crew skewers the 1950 noir film D.O.A. The NCT team takes the ribbing one step further by deleting the movie's entire audio track, thereby leaving room for jokes, and only jokes.

Doris Wells Williams Mullen lost her younger brother in 1992 when he was shot and killed while walking down a sidewalk at Glen Oaks High School, and even 22 years later, her voice gets thick with emotion talking about it.
"It was a Monday morning. I'll never forget. He was shot in the back of the head, he was 17, by a young man who was 18," Mullen said slowly and carefully to a room full of concerned residents gathered for The Loss of Young Black Males meeting at the Charles E. Kelly Community Center on Saturday morning.
"No one in this community won anything out of that tragedy, because this young man lost his life to Angola for the rest of his life, and my brother is buried in a family cemetery," Mullen said. "What we need to do right now is to come together and get involved."
The meeting, hosted by Metro Councilwomen Donna Collins-Lewis, District 6, and Ronnie Edwards, District 5, featured emotional testimonies from family members of violence victims and ideas for solutions from mental health professionals, several clergy and members of the Coroner's Office and Police Department.
"Every time we turn on the television, there is some young African-American male who has died in a violent altercation with another young African-American male — so we need to bring an end to this nonsense," Collins-Lewis said. "To me, they are a precious commodity, they are to be treasured and be valued, but they need to value their own self-worth."
Edwards said the recent death of Terrez Coleman, 7, "who was killed in a drive-by shooting," prompted her to call the meeting. "We all have an active role to play in solving this problem."
Dezmion Barrow told how he lost a cousin to violence and how his younger brother "started hanging with the wrong people, got tattoos, was dealing drugs" and is now incarcerated.
"The real issue is a lack of leadership," Barrow said. "When I went off to college, my brother lacked my leadership. They say the grass is greener on the other side, I say the grass is greener when you water it. If you pick one young man and water him, you will make sure he has direction."
Renetha Buckley told how her brother was fatally shot at the age of 20 because he was working as a club bouncer instead of playing college football. He couldn't pass the ACT test, she said, and "people lost patience with him" in school and tutoring. "We need to show these young men patience."
Brenda Young, grandmother to Terrez Coleman, brought some in the audience to tears describing the grief they have endured from his senseless death. "He was only 7 years old — all he had to do was grow up," she said as tears welled up in her eyes.
Several men in the audience, including Byron Alexander, told how they strive to communicate with their own sons or boys in their circle of influence because, Alexander said, "small talk grows into big talk and we can find solutions."
John Daniel, executive director of Boys Hope Girls Hope, and BRPD Cpl. L'Jean McKneely stressed the importance of black men mentoring and tutoring young black boys to teach them life skills and keep them on the right side of the law.
Judge Bonnie Jackson, 19th Judicial District Court on the Criminal Bench, was blunt in her assessment and advice after decades of observing this issue.
"There has been a cultural shift in the last 40 years, two generations, where the expectation of young black males is that a female will take care of them — that is the only dynamic they have ever known," Jackson said. "I believe the key to changing the dynamic of the black male is to change the thinking of the black female."
"We have got to change and elevate the expectations of our young black women so they can have expectations of the men in their lives," Jackson said. "When you don't expect anything you don't require anything and when you require nothing you get nothing."
She told how a young black man was in court recently and when she asked him if he had a lawyer he replied that his girlfriend, who worked at McDonald's, would find him one.
"How is someone who works at McDonald's going to find $10,000 for a lawyer for you?" Jackson said she asked him. "He had no concept of funds and what it takes to pay a bill because he's never had to do that."
