text: I used to own an HTC Magic, and whenever I used the GPS the "My Location" blue dot would always stay in the middle of the screen, like a real GPS. I now use a Telus HTC Hero, and not only does the screen not follow the blue dot, it turns the screen off after a minute. How do I make it so that it stays on and follows the blue dot? Thanks.


text: After three years with a 40" 1080p Toshisba LCD (which looked great) I am looking to upgrade to a larger display. I have been doing a lot of research and at this point I am thinking of a 50" plasma----either Samsung PN51D530A3 or Panasonic TC-P50S30. These both are on sale for around 800.00 though I would be willing to go higher (up to around 1200.00) for displays that might be significantly better. I have no interest in 3-D or gaming and rarely watch sports, my primary interest is watching movies either via HD cable or blu ray. My only concern is the problem of burn in. I watch a lot of movies which are widescreen and I know that can be an issue. Would I be better off with another LCD or LED? If so, any models that could be recommended in this price range? From what I can tell, despite some negative user reviews, these are both reliable products. Thanks for the help.

Our Favorite Dog Cameras
When deciding upon which camera to choose for your dog, it really depends on what features you are after. Is the camera to simply monitor your dog, do you wish to interact with them, do you only want to control their barking, are you interested in the latest iOS & Android functionality, do you require night-vision functionality, or are you simply interested in capturing some of your pets antics in high definition. Whatever you require there is something for you on this list.
Furbo Dog Cam Review
If you're looking for a treat-throwing, interactive camera for your dog then this seems to be the hands-down winner. The Furbo dog cam features a HD 720p, wide-angle cam with infrared for low-light situations. Additionally, the camera can notify you when your dog is barking. It can pick up the difference between normal ambient noise and a dogs bark and will send an immediate notification to your smartphone. So if barking is your main concern, the Furbo is the way to go. The treat-throwing mechanism seems to be the most innovative we've come across and the product even comes with added Apple Watch functionality and sports an extremely modern design.

Petcube Play Review
The second-generation Petcube Play comes with many new improvements on the first Petcube and has the one of the highest amazon rating across on the market. Being the only second-generation product on the market is a huge advantage, because it has been given the time and energy needed to iron out any kinks or major problems. The Petcube Play is the only camera that features HD 1080p streaming, along with the widest angle lens (138 degrees) on the market. It features noise and motion alerts, however cannot distinguish between ambient noise and barking like the Furbo. It features a laser dot toy that you can control from your smartphone, instead of the traditional treat-throwing feature.

Petzi Treat Cam Review
The Petzi Treat Cam is one of the most popular treat-throwing cameras on the market, with nearly 400 Amazon reviews, more than any of its competitors. It is also exceptionally well-reviewed on the Amazon store with a 4.0 rating. The Petzi features a standard definition camera with infrared capabilities however no wide-angle or digital zoom. The Petzi only features 1-way audio, so you won't be able to hear your pet, or receive any barking or motion alerts, which is slowly becoming the industry standard among its competitors.

Petchatz HD Review
The Petchatz HD is one of the newer products on the market and has some of the most unique features we've seen. It is the most expensive device we've reviewed, however is the only device that features 2-way video. That's right! Now your bountiful litter of dogs and cats can see you too. That said, my dog never recognises me on webcam video, so I'm not sure how recognisable you'll be on a screen this small. This device is packed full of unique features, such as a button that your dog or cat can use to call you, as well as customisable scent pads to entice your pet even further.

Petcube Camera Review
The Petcube is the first generation pet camera if its predecessor, the Petcube Play. It comes in at $50 cheaper than the Petcube Play, however only features a 720p quality camera, lacks night vision and is slightly less compact. Still, the Petcube Camera is one of the cheapest on the market, and is still one of the most popular Pet Cameras available. It features a whopping 900 reviews on the Amazon marketplace and averages a 3.5 rating.Check Amazon Price of PetChatz HD
Motorola Pet Scout66 Review
The motorola pet scout is probably the cheapest pet camera on the market, and comes in at less than half the cost of some of the others above. That said, the device features no interactive play toy elements like treat tossing or laser interaction. Perhaps you have no intention of using those features anyway, and if that's the case then this could be a great cheaper alternative for your needs. The Pet Scout still features HD video, crystal-clear 2-way audio as well as motion alerts/captures and temperature monitoring.Check Amazon Price of Motorola Pet Scout66
Pawbo Pet Cam Review
The Pawbo Pet Cam is a relatively well-reviewed product and appears to be one of the most popular pet cams on the market, with over 100 reviews on Amazon. It features more interactive play elements than any of it's competitors, including a treat dispenser, laser toy and sound effects all combined into one. It also features the industry standard of two-way audio communication, and 720p video recording.Check Amazon Price of PetChatz HD
Playdate Ball Camera Review
While still not commercially available, the Playdate has generated a tonne of funds and attention on Indiegogo, raising over $700,000, as the worlds first pet camera in a smart ball. The playdate will allow you to control an interactive play ball from anywhere, using your mobile phone as a control. The live HD video has a stabilizing camera, making it easy to watch your pet as you play with them, and you can either further interact with them with the two-way audio functionality. The app also makes it easy to take photo or video captures during your sessions. If you're worried about the device lasting, the ball features an extremely durable outer polycarbonate shell, that can be removed and replaced at will.

Club & Greek
Blue Hawk Studio
- Details
- Category: Volume 88 (Fall 2016) and Volume 89 (Spring 2017)
- Published: 02 December 2016
West Long Branch, NJ – Most students at Monmouth know about Blue Hawk Records, the University's music label, but often people mistake the Blue Hawk Studio recording club with the label.
The recording club, founded and run by Huascar Holguin, a senior music industry student debuted last Spring. Since the start, the club has more than doubled in size and already has a new recording studio in the making.
Blue Hawk Studio aims to run an active practice recording studio on campus to teach students the basics of audio recording. They use top of the line equipment and software and have been helping record Monmouth students for their portfolios, graduate school applications, or personal use. Holguin wanted to share his passion for music and give others the tools to create their own.
He said, "Monmouth University only offered a few classes that focused on music recording and a top of the line studio that went mostly unused." The club welcomes anyone who is interested whether music is part of their major or not.
Currently Blue Hawk Studio is working on recording an audiobook for a fellow professor and Dean of the Humanitarian school at Monmouth, Dr. Kenneth Womack is a published author and hesought out help from the club to turn one of his published books called The Restaurant at the End of the World into an audiobook. "Our students have a long and fertile history of being entrepreneurial with new and old technologies alike," he said. Womack has never recorded an audiobook before and will be learning right alongside the students.
The recording club has been progressing quickly with the audiobook project and just finished wrapping up the auditions for the voice actors.
The actors consist of members from the Monmouth University community, students and professors, and they will be credited for their work on the audiobook. They will begin to start the recording process with the Blue Hawk Studio club members in coming weeks.
The club members involved with the recording process will also be credited as producers for the audiobook. If this interests any other people, there are still ways to get involved.
You can send an email to the audiobook team at firstname.lastname@example.com to receive more information and see how you can get involved.
"This seems like a fantastic way to merge the two in a new project that could very result in publishing credentials for students associated with the Blue Hawk Studio," Womack said. This is the first big project for the club and they are excited to be able to help and gain experience from doing so.
The club meets every first and third Wednesday of the month between 2:50-3:15 in Woods Theater room WT4. The meetings are open to anyone that would like to attend but aimed mostly at club members. The primary objective of these meetings is for general knowledge and updates for current members and anyone new that may be looking to join the crew. From the meetings, you can sign up for time in the booth to record.
They discuss current issues at hand such as how they are going to recruit more people and opportunities for the club.
One of the biggest projects on the club's plate is the relocation of their current recording studio. The Dean of the Music Department, Joe Rapolla, told Holguin to see what concepts the members would think is best if they got a green light for renovation. "We already have a project studio in the building. Our plan is just to improve the space already allocated and the recording equipment," Rapolla said.
Faculty advisor of the club, George Wurzbach, thinks the future is bright for the club. "Hopefully soon we'll be in sync with Blue Hawk Records, we plan for Blue Hawk Studio to be the 'scratchpad' for artists and composers to work through preproduction on the road to full scale production in Lakehouse Studio," Wurzbach said. Lakehouse studio is a professional recording studio in Asbury Park.

Shanghai Snapshot
Photo by Oliver Wang
Shanghai's entry into the global market is an ambivalent mixture of imitation and excess. Strolling the parks, a few old men still wear blue Maoist worker's uniforms, but they are anachronisms among scores of trendy young hipsters sporting their own sassy blend of Japanese, American, and European fashion. Shanghai is on its way up, but even in its own eyes, it hasn't quite arrived. The older housing, and the era it represents feel endangered, about to be swept away in a typhoon of construction.
In the lobby of the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall is a huge, golden statue of the city. An abstract "greatest hits" of the skyscraper-studded skyline, it rotates slowly on a dais, shining like the latest model at the auto show. Large, raised lettering emblazed on the wall behind it reads, confidently, "Better City. Better Life." Cultural Revolution-style sloganeering now employed in the service of capital.
The product of a new influx of foreign investment, spurred by free-market Special Development Zones, cheap labor, and extravagant tax breaks, Shanghai is growing at an increasingly hyperbolic rate. Ten years ago, the Pudong "new area" of the city was 556 acres of farmland. Now it's a forest of skyscrapers, elevated roadways, and shopping malls crawling with commerce. There's a giddy buzz in the air: the sound of unchecked ambition.
But new Shanghai flush with foreign money, embarking on an ambitious development program, and host to a truly international urban culture sounds oddly familiar. It sounds a lot like old Shanghai: the freewheeling, pre-Communist "Paris of the East" of the 1920s and '30s. In those days, the foreign presence was more naked and brutish: the city was taken by force (and opium), and literally divided into "concessions", each independently ruled by British, French, and American powers. Nowadays, foreign influence is welcomed and courted, though hardly less venal. This time, Shanghai has chosen to enter the global market, and the result is an ambivalent mixture of imitation and excess.
* * *
On the third floor of the Exhibition Hall is a scale model of the city. Covering at least 1,500 square feet and surrounded by an elevated walkway with strategically placed "vista points", the model includes every existing (and planned) building, park, and roadway in obsessive detail down to the windows, individual trees, and lane dividers. But most impressive is its overwhelming size and density, a fact that can only be appreciated from the god's-eye view that such models provide. It looks like Los Angeles, if LA were as dense as Manhattan.
The conceit of model making might seem hopelessly old-fashioned a throwback to the days when unbridled expansion was an expression of civic pride were it not for the fact that outside the Exhibition Hall, the model is hastily becoming reality. In every direction, long-necked construction cranes turn the skyline into a giant erector set, which is constantly rising and falling (mostly rising) with quirky and astonishing new growths.
The JW Marriott hotel near Renmin Square looks like a sleeker version of the Tower of Barad-Dûr from The Lord of the Rings films. Half way up its icy gray stalk, it flares out vertiginously and ascends to divide into four sharply angled pyramids converging at the top. Not to be outdone, the Urban Planning Exhibition Hall itself is topped by four upturned, interlocking trumpet "blooms" representing magnolias, the city flower. The imposing bulk of the Shanghai Museum echoes the shape of a classic bronze ding, a traditional three-legged food vessel. And down the street, another building is topped by what can only be described as a UFO. And those are just the buildings around Renmin Square. On the other side of the Huangpu River, in the Pudong "new" area, stands Jinmao Tower the second tallest building in the world a modern-day, 88-story pagoda that looks like a telescoping origami box.
Not far from Jinmao is Shanghai's most spectacular building, the Oriental Pearl Tower. With its three hot pink disco balls skewered on massive golden rods, the Tower is the perfect embodiment of Rem Koolhaas' delirious skyscraper: the literal joining of "needle" and "globe". Koolhaas' 1978 manifesto on urbanism, Delirious New York, dissected the hubris behind New York City's skyscrapers by identifying the fusion of two contradictory concepts. The "needle", or observatory, provides a bird's-eye view and the accompanying illusion of mastery. The "globe", containing the highest ratio of internal volume to external surface area, is an image of utopian self-sufficiency. A combination of height and maximum interiority, skyscrapers, Koolhaas asserted, are not just an efficient use of space, but also expressions of our desire to master and control our environment. In the Oriental Pearl Tower, this desire is taken to its logical, ridiculous conclusion. Dispensing with all pretense of practicality, the Oriental Pearl is the ideological offspring of the Eiffel Tower and EPCOT Center, an unabashedly flamboyant symbol of power, prosperity, and profit.
* * *
But the transformation of Shanghai into a glittery, Las Vegas-style showcase is constantly in progress, resulting in dystrophic moments where the gap between the haves and the have-nots, or the future and past, come into jarring juxtaposition.
Strolling the parks, a few old men still wear Maoist blue worker's uniforms, but they are anachronisms among scores of trendy young hipsters sporting their own sassy blend of Japanese, American, and European fashion. The textile and clothing industries in and around Shanghai are booming, as is trade in counterfeit brands Gucci, Fendi, Burberry. Although the real thing is available in department stores and on pricier shopping streets like Huaihai Lu, most people avail themselves of the fakes that are readily offered nearly everywhere else. Such are the vagaries of copyright law in a country that, while it has recently recognized foreign intellectual property claims, does little to actually enforce them. Easy and relatively affordable access to the world's "brand" names enables Shanghai fashionistas to remix styles as casually and irreverently as DVD bootleggers duplicate the latest Hollywood films. Despite the fact that most of the clothing is locally produced, fashion has become more eclectic and global than the men in blue could have ever anticipated.
Interspersed with advertising for multinationals like Pepsi and McDonald's, official city posters advocate good hygiene. Blunt, Communist-style commands advise (in Chinese and English): "Ventilate Your Room Often", "Wash Your Hands Often", and, most viscerally: "Don't Spit". This last is accompanied by a humorous line drawing of a man whose projectile saliva morphs into a bomb just before it hits the pavement.
Although clearly a post-SARS initiative, the campaign also throws into high relief the distance yet to be bridged between the old Shanghai and the envisioned one. Although spitting in public is deemed acceptable behavior (i.e., not rude) in China, it's hardly something an aspiring "world-class" city can afford to condone. With the influx of international capital and its accompanying (and judgmental) expat community, it's unseemly to have streets filled with little old ladies coughing up loogies. While the campaign has the best intentions for public welfare, it also reveals a slight undercurrent of shame. Shanghai is on its way up, but even in its own eyes, it hasn't quite arrived. In an effort to speed up the process, it attempts to pull and push people into their "better" future by a familiar method: blunt pedagogy.
But the most striking contrast is in the city's architecture. In the shadows of sparkling new behemoths sit gray blocks of crumbling tenement housing, where laundry flaps in the breeze and entire families live in one or two tiny, poorly insulated rooms. The contrast is stunning, although not unlike many decaying American urban centers: the place where the richest people work and the poorest people live. What's different in Shanghai is that the city is on its way "up". The older housing, and the era it represents feel endangered, about to be swept away in a typhoon of construction. Although these older buildings are hardly enviable places to live, there's something nostalgic about their frailty. They already look like a memory.
* * *
While it's understandable that the stark, Communist-era housing of the '50s and '60s fall victim to the bulldozer, the simultaneous neglect and fetishization of older Shanghai architecture, both Chinese and Western, is more complex. Little is being done to preserve actual historic structures, save for their resuscitation and re-creation as income-generating tourist attractions.
Yuyuan Gardens, a classic Ming dynasty garden, is completely overwhelmed by the "traditional" bazaar that has sprung up around it. Designed to look like an old-timey village square, the bazaar is the Chinese equivalent of a themed mall, replete with department stores, restaurants, and the obligatory souvenir vendors, all within a structure designed to mimic the lacquered posts and dragon-bedecked beams of traditional Chinese architecture. On weekends, hundreds of people line up in the mall for the city's best xiao long bao (steamed dumplings), while the entrance to the Gardens is all but deserted.
The Duolun Lu Street of Famous Cultural Figures is a similarly ambivalent tourist destination. It's a walking street memorializing the writers of the 1930s May 4 literary movement (of which Lu Xun and Ding Ling are perhaps the best-known in the West). Although not all of the writers were members of the Communist Party, they have been posthumously canonized for creating a modern, vernacular Chinese literature that broke with Confucian and aristocratic tradition. The street is an odd mix of restored Western-style buildings and modern re-creations, populated by social-realist bronze statues of the writers. While it's great to see literary figures lionized in a way rarely encountered in the States, the street is also overwhelmingly and blatantly commercial, full of (again) kitschy souvenir vendors and cafés serving "Western Food".
While hardly different from the nostalgia-as-commerce cultivated by the likes of Disneyland's "Main Street USA", Duolun Lu's nostalgia for 1930s Shanghai is, in effect, colonial nostalgia. Ruled by the lop-sided economics of the opium trade and the opulent lifestyles of firmly entrenched foreigners, 1930s Shanghai was the height of commercial and cosmopolitan excess: luxurious, licentious and utterly lawless.
But this Shanghai of Hollywood legend was built on the fundamental exploitation of the local Chinese population. It's no surprise that the first meetings of the Chinese Communist Party took place in Shanghai, with its huge underclass of oppressed and underpaid laborers supporting the extravagant lifestyles of foreigners. When the Communists took power in 1949, one of their first initiatives was to clean up the city: they turned the racetrack into People's Park, re-educated scores of prostitutes, and eliminated child labor.
It's therefore strange that Shanghai's colonial past is romanticized and re-created in a memorial to "revolutionary" cultural figures. But the ideological content (if not the strident tone) of Cultural Revolution-era propaganda is long-gone, and "new China" is poised on the verge of economic world domination. So perhaps it's not outlandish to invoke Shanghai's history as a world-class city, no matter how colonial and debased. After all, the same mechanisms are at work in contemporary Shanghai: the "invasion" of foreign capital (albeit this time welcome), the extreme economic discrepancies between high-living foreigners and laboring locals, the international mix and clash of languages, technologies and consumer products.
Nowhere is the congruence of old and new Shanghai more apparent than on the Bund, the financial heart of old Shanghai. A riverfront collection of neo-classical, Western-style buildings, it is one of the few examples of "authentic" (i.e., not re-created) Western architecture in China. The buildings themselves are fairly unremarkable. They're the sort of edifices that routinely lend an anonymous, patrician air to banks and insurance companies. But on the Bund they are exotic, even romantic symbols of the glory of old Shanghai, recouped as evidence of the city's pedigree as an international destination. Directly across the river stand the symbols of the new Shanghai, the ostentatious towers of Pudong.
Tourists from all over the country (and the world) come to stroll the manicured promenade that lies between the Bund and the river. They consume all manner of gimmicky souvenirs and over-priced snacks, and pose for photos. They turn with equanimity first one way, then the other, positioning themselves one moment before the regal, historical Bund and the next against the fantastical, futuristic skyscrapers of Pudong. Although Shanghai's two skylines at first seem polar opposites, they are in fact mirror images, monuments, in their respective eras, to the romance of capital and ambition.

Many people feel intimidated when first investing in jewelry. Depending on the material a piece of jewelry is made of, the price varies greatly for each piece. The uneducated shopper can easily end up paying over the odds. Read on for some tips on becoming a jewelry shopping pro.
The use of polishing cloths are helpful in cleaning your jewelry. This is a chemical-free method to maintain the appearance of your fine jewelry. Buff your jewelry with the two-sided cloth, just as if you were cleaning a glass. Use a two-sided cloth to clean your jewelry, one for polishing, and the other for shining.
Take a moment to consider how your valuable jewelry is stored and sorted. Precious metals and certain gemstones will tarnish if they are exposed to humidity, so keep the away from this. Don't just toss your jewelry in a pile. This does damage to jewelry pieces, which are often fragile. Necklaces lumped together can get tangled up into a knotted ball.
Jewelry should be stored in an air-tight and humid free area. A drawstring bag or closed box offers the best protection from moisture in the air. Air and humidity can cause the metals that the jewelry are made of to tarnish. Precious metals can often be polished to remove most tarnish. Non-precious metals often have a single coat of metal. Therefore, polishing them can remove the coat and show the copper that is found underneath.
Check to see if your jeweler offers an insurance policy before purchasing an item. These policies dictate whether or not the jeweler will replace or fix your item of jewelry if it is damaged. There are some jewelers that will also have insurance plans for pieces that get lost or stolen.
Special care is required for costume jewelry. Many of the costume type settings are glued-in, rather than set-in. Costume jewelry should never be immersed or make contact with harsh chemicals. It is best to have two cloths ready, one warm with water and one dry, to use to wipe your jewelry. This helps keep costume jewelry looking sparkling clean and new.
Give the jewelry a test-run by wearing it for a day. Does it feel comfortable and hang properly? You can also make a better estimate of the jewelry's durability after trying it out.
If the person you are shopping for is a unique individual, consider choosing a one-of-a-kind piece crafted specifically for them. You want the piece to match the person; unique people deserve unique jewelry.
You should always make an effort to properly care for all of your jewelry. There's an ideal way to clean every different type of setting and stone. What works for a certain kind of stone may not work for another. For the best information on how to look after your jewelry, you should talk to a jeweler.
A good quality clap is very important to any necklace or bracelet. You risk losing your necklace, and the expensive stones attached to it, if your clasp fails. You can have a safety clasp added to any existing piece that may require additional protection. If there is a piece that you simply cannot afford to lose, try an additional clasp for added safety.
Well, it's easy when you know how. This article has just touched on a few of things that you should know about this very rewarding hobby. There is much to learn, but at least you've now got a few good ideas to put to work.

For over two years, Rick Santorum has traveled the country making the case why he should be the Republican nominee for President of the United States. For two years, he has made the argument that the only way to defeat President Obama is to nominate a candidate who provides a sharp contrast to the president on the major issues that have dominated the debate since the President took office – healthcare reform and government bailouts.
Today, Rick Santorum finds himself in a firestorm because he used a rhetorical device that insinuated the country would be better off electing President Obama to a second term, than it would be with former Governor Romney. This has caused many to flock to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to castigate Santorum for basically making a point that he and the other candidates in the race have been making all along.
Santorum was really not saying anything all that different than he's said everyday for the last twelve months when he stated, "You win by giving people a choice. You win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone who's just going to be a little different than the person in there. If you're going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk with what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate of the future."
The difference is that there is a growing appetite for the Republican nominating process to come to a conclusion. The difference is that Santorum was a littler more direct in his remarks yesterday than he has been in the past. It's also doubtful that this is the first time a candidate in a primary is no different from the candidate that winner will ultimately face in the general election.
While people may not like the point that Santorum was making, it does have some validity.
Is a governor who signed into law a government mandated healthcare law in his state all that different from a president who signed into law a national healthcare mandate?
Is a governor who signed who initially supported the Wall Street bailout, and reaffirmed his support of it just two days ago, any different from a president who voted for the Wall Street bailout and who has been supporting other government bailouts?
Those healthcare and government bailouts of private industries are only two issues, but they are the fundamental issues of not only this election, but the future direction of our country. The reason why they are so critical is not the political ramifications that they will have on the 2012 general election, it's because a candidate's position on those two issues tells you whether they really believe in the free market or not.
The question that Santorum is presenting is simply, is a Republican candidate who doesn't believe in the free market any better than a Democrat candidate that who doesn't believe in the free market? As a conservative, the only answer that I can come to is no.
It's not Rick Santorum's fault that Mitt Romney has failed to defend his support of TARP and government mandated healthcare in this campaign. It is not Rick Santorum's fault that Mitt Romney refuses to say anything more about Obamacare other than just that he will repeal it. Had Romney used the primary to explain his past positions rather than simply run a negative campaign, maybe things would be different.
It's Mitt Romney who needs to make the case why he's a better option than President Obama, but he has refused to do so on the fundamental issues of this race. That's not Santorum's fault.

Firefox and some other programs open fine on startup, but when I try to open even a text file, it takes a few minutes. Instead of freezing explorer, now it just freezes with the loading cursor up for a while, and 15-20minutes later, the program will open... Why?? Also, the particular program I'm trying to open is an installer program, so it needs 'permission' from me to open it...might this have something to do with it?

Chapter 22 Q and A. Victor Norman IS333 Spring 2014. Connectionless?. Q: Could you explain what connectionless service is more clearly? Every host must 'connect' to a network somehow. Is the term 'connectionless' therefore not a bit of a misnomer?

Victor Norman
Spring 2014
Q: Could you explain what connectionless service is more clearly? Every host must 'connect' to a network somehow. Is the term 'connectionless' therefore not a bit of a misnomer?
A: Connectionless means that no end-to-end setup or tear-down of the connection is done – i.e., it is not a "circuit". Packets are just sent and forwarded hop-by-hop to the destination.
Q: Is the forwarding table the same as the routing table?
A: Yes. Same thing.
Q: How is each hop determined by the destination IP?
A: Each router looks at the packet's dest IP address and consults its routing table to figure out where to send the packet next.
Q: What is the difference between an IP datagram and a hardware frame? Is it just that one uses as IP address and one uses a MAC address?
A: Both are "PDUs" – protocol data units. IP calls its stuff a "datagram". The datagram is sent down to layer 2 to be encapsulated in a layer 2 "frame" to be sent over the local network.
Q: In the Best-Effort Delivery, what does it mean that "IP is designed to run over any type of network"? And, how is IP "best-effort"?
A: It means that IP was designed to operate over networks that provide few guarantees. It does not require absolutely perfect, fast, robust layer 2 hardware/protocols. It just requires that the lower layer do its best to deliver the frames correctly. And, it will do the same.
Q: Can you explain the TTL field?
A: Each packet's TTL (time-to-live) field is initialized to 64 (recommended). Each time a router forwards a packet, it decrements the TTL value. If the TTL reaches 0, the packet is dropped (and an ICMP packet may be sent to original sender).
Q: What is the role of the TTL field?
A: To prevent packets from looping forever if there is a "routing loop" – forwarding tables on neighboring routers (mistakenly) send the packet back and forth to each other forever.
Q: Could you go over a few examples of the &-ing process used in forwarding tables?
A: Sure… let's look at section 22.6 and 22.7.
Q: Do forwarding algorithms (for Internet forwarding tables) ever change, or do they simply get longer?
A: Forwarding tables do change size, theoretically. On hosts and most routers they probably don't change very often, if ever. They are based on the IP addresses assigned to interfaces, and a default route, which usually comes via DHCP or a routing protocol (which we haven't talked about).
Q: How is host-specific routing different from "normal" routing (how does it make it more efficient)?
A: The forwarding algorithm is not different. A host-specific route is chosen because it has the longest prefix (/32).
(Just like the default route is chosen only if nothing else matches, because it has the shortest prefix (/0).)
Q: Why does forwarding software choose to forward entries with the longest prefixes (and therefore more specific), first?
A: It makes sense. If you had to forward a package to somewhere in South Grand Rapids, and you were told you had two choices – send it to Grand Rapids, or South Grand Rapids, you'd choose the more specific one.
Q: What does an internet users actually experience when datagrams are lost? Is it errors, slow internet, or something else?
A: Depends on the application. If the application does not care about lost datagrams, then maybe nothing out of the ordinary is experienced. If the application requires all data be there, then you'll get slower response times from the network, etc. This is determined by the Layer 4 protocol in use.

Enertopia Announces Light Oil Project Update #3
August 12, 2013
VANCOUVER, BC - August 12, 2013 - Enertopia Corporation (ENRT-OTCBB) (TOP-CNSX) (the "Company" or "Enertopia") announces it has been notified by the vendor of the Pennsylvania oil property, that the three most recently completed oil wells are now producing a combined 36 bbls/d of light oil while the frac water continues to unload and oil production increases. The fourth well is currently being connected to the production facilities. The Company has no direct interest in these wells, but does have an option to participate in up to 100 light oil wells on the same lands.
The timeline from spud date of the first well to the sale of the first 150 barrels of oil, at a price of $103.90 per barrel, took less than 30 days.
The Company has also learned that the vendor will drill a further nine wells over the next several weeks as development continues on this low risk, light oil opportunity. Enertopia has signed a Letter of Intent to participate in up to 100, high-netback, light-oil-producing wells in Pennsylvania.
Robert McAllister, President, stated: " These initial production numbers from these just completed wells not only confirm our expectations of 10 to 15 bop/d per well of initial production, but also show the ability of the operator to efficiently and safely bring these low risk oil wells to production quickly. The consistent results to date show this to be a project of considerable merit owing to the very low CAPEX and quick timeline from spud date to production giving our company the ability to grow dramatically through the drill bit."
The light oil assets include a number of original oil-in-place pools in NW Pennsylvania discovered and developed in the 1960's and 1970's by Quaker State Oil. The vendor has now drilled and completed 41 infill well locations with a 100% success rate: all 41 of the wells drilled were completed and outfitted for commercial oil production. Each shallow oil well can have up to four separate producing sand intervals. Initial production numbers are averaging 10 to 15 bbl/d per well with some wells occasionally achieving 20 to 40 bbl/d on initial production.
The Pennsylvania light oil project provides the opportunity for a potential step change in value for shareholders through the low risk development of 100 drill locations, without the pipeline and transportation issues affecting many producers situated in less advantaged locations today; while receiving WTI-based pricing. All the wells are targeting known historic oil producing areas.
Enertopia plans to drill its first development wells within 30 days of closing the underlying Area of Mutual Interest Agreement and necessary financing.
Enertopia is positioning to execute a successful growth model with predictable well drilling results combined with a significant development inventory.

Statements which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The Company makes forward-looking public statements concerning its expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, financing plans, business strategy, products and services, evaluation of clean energy projects for participation and/or financing, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of management for future operations, including statements that include words such as "anticipate," "if," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "could," "should," "will," and other similar expressions that are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are estimates reflecting the Company's best judgment based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that other factors will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the Company include, but are not limited to, government regulation, managing and maintaining growth, the effect of adverse publicity, litigation, competition, access to capital, and other factors which may be identified from time to time in the Company's public announcements and filings. The Company's successful efforts in the oil and gas sector are dependent on many factors such as but not limited to financing, completion and production and field depletion. Expected field production could be materially different than from expected and past results. The Company's evaluation of alternative energy projects in the heat recovery, solar thermal, solar PV and water purification; and of resource projects provides no assurance that any particular project will have any material effect on the Company. Successful drilling of oil wells in Pennsylvania by others provides no assurance that the Company's expected drill programs will also be successful, in whole or in part.

What could you do if you're the one in the shoes of this teenage boy, will you also appeal and change your name?
In the report of Rida Reyes on GMA News last Monday, the said teenage boy is named Kristel Lumabao, a 19 year-old resident of Laoag, Ilocos Sur and a criminology student.
It is mentioned in the report that the boy's case is known as 'Hypospadias.' But what is it? And how did it affect the life of this teenager?
Hypospadias is an abnormality of the urethra and penis that is present at birth. This can cause problems with passing urine and also with erections. It can range in severity. Surgical correction is usually very successful. Understanding the normal penis and urethra
The urethra is the tube that urine flows through out of the bladder. It passes through the penis. The opening of the urethra (meatus or 'pee-hole') is normally at the end of the penis, partly covered by the foreskin.
The main problem is that the urethra opens on the underside of the penis instead of at the end of the penis. The opening can be anywhere from just below the normal position (mild) to as far back as the base of the scrotum (severe).
It is stated that Hypospadias may also include the following:
A hooded appearance of the foreskin – This is because the foreskin does not develop on the underside of the penis.
Tightening of the tissues on the underside of the penis (called 'chordee') – This pulls the penis down and it cannot fully straighten. The further back the urethral opening is, the more severe the chordee tends to be. Mild hypospadias may not have any chordee.
But What is the treatment for hypospadias?
If the hypospadias is mild, with the opening of the urethra just a little down from normal and with no bending of the penis, then no treatment may be needed. However, in most cases an operation is required to correct the hypospadias. This can usually be done in one operation. However, if the hypospadias is more complicated, then two operations may be necessary. The operation is usually done when the child is around 4-18 months old. The success of the operation and the 'normality' that can be achieved may depend on the severity of the hypospadias.

"Noong ipinanganak ko, ang organ niya talaga ay babae. Pero habang siya'y lumalaki nag-iba na kasi yung ano... walang ovary at saka uterus," said by Kristel's mother.
Kristel also said in his interview that he hasn't experienced 'buwanang-dalaw' or menstruation so he did recognize himself as a man.
"Nung lumaki na ako sir, nakita ko na na yung shape ko, shape ng aking katawan ay parang katawan na talaga ng lalaki," he narrated.
"Sinuggest po ng isang duktor na karyotyping. 'Yon po after four weeks po lumabas na po ang resulta. Ang naging interpretation po sa resulta ay normal male," he added.
A doctor said that it may be caused by a complication during his mother's pregnancy or he has just gotten it through a genetic mean. On another hand, he and his family already accepted his condition.
And he appealed that he wants to change his name to 'Ice' Krystler. His father is indeed very happy to hear that his son is now a 'male.'

The prophet, having received his commission, here receives a charge with it. It is a post of honour to which he is advanced, but withal it is a post of service and work, and it is here required of him,
I. That he be bold. He must act in the discharge of this trust with an undaunted courage and resolution, and not be either driven off from his work or made to drive on heavily, by the difficulties and oppositions that he would be likely to meet with in it: Son of man, be not afraid of them, Ezek. 2:6. Note, Those that will do any thing to purpose in the service of God must not be afraid of the face of man; for the fear of men will bring a snare, which will be very entangling to us in the work of God. 1. God tells the prophet what was the character of those to whom he sent him, as before, Ezek. 2:3, 4. They are briers and thorns, scratching, and tearing, and vexing a man, which way soever he turns. They are continually teazing God's prophets and entangling them in their talk (Matt. 22:15); they are pricking briers and grieving thorns. The best of them is as a brier, and the most upright sharper than a thorn-hedge, Mic. 7:4. Thorns and briers are the fruit of sin and the curse, and of equal date with the enmity between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. Note, Wicked men, especially the persecutors of God's prophets and people, are as briers and thorns, which are hurtful to the ground, choke the good seed, hinder God's husbandry, are vexatious to his husbandmen; but they are nigh unto cursing and their end is to be burned. Yet God makes use of them sometimes for the correction and instruction of his people, as Gideon taught the men of Succoth with thorns and briers, Jdg. 8:16. Yet this is not the worst of their character: they are scorpions, venomous and malignant. The sting of a scorpion is a thousand times more hurtful than the scratch of a brier. Persecutors are a generation of vipers, are of the serpent's seed, and the poison of asps is under their tongue; and they are more subtle than any beast of the field. And, which makes the prophet's case the more grievous, he dwells among these scorpions; they are continually about him, so that he cannot be safe nor quiet in his own house; these bad men are his bad neighbours, who thereby have many opportunities, and will let slip none, to do him a mischief. God takes notice of this to the prophet, as Christ to the angel of one of the churches, Rev. 2:13. I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is. Ezekiel had been, in vision, conversing with angels, but when he comes down from this mount he finds he dwells with scorpions. 2. He tells him what would be their conduct towards him, that they would do what they could to frighten him with their looks and their words; they would hector him and threaten him, would look scornfully and spitefully at him, and do their utmost to face him down and put him our of countenance, that they might drive him off from being a prophet, or at least from telling them of their faults and threatening them with the judgments of God; or, if they could not prevail in this, that they might vex and perplex him, and disturb the repose of his mind. They were now themselves in subjection, divested of all power, so that they had no other way of persecuting the prophet than with their looks and their words; and so they did persecute him. Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest, Jer. 3:5. If they had had more power, they would have done more mischief. They were now in captivity, smarting for their rebellion, and particularly their misusing God's prophets; and yet they are as bad as ever. Though thou brag a fool in a mortar, yet will not his foolishness depart from him; no providences will of themselves humble and reform men, unless the grace of God work with them. But, how malicious soever they were, Ezekiel must not be afraid of them nor dismayed, he must not be deterred from his work, or any part of it, nor be disheartened or dispirited in it by all their menaces, but go on in it with resolution and cheerfulness, assuring himself of safety under the divine protection.
II. It is required that he be faithful, Ezek. 2:7. 1. He must be faithful to Christ who sent him: Thou shalt speak my words unto them. Note, As it is the honour of prophets that they are entrusted to speak God's words, so it is their duty to cleave closely to them and to speak nothing but what is agreeable to the words of God. Ministers must always speak according to that rule. 2. He must be faithful to the souls of those to whom he was sent: Whether they will hear of whether they will forbear, he must deliver his message to them as he received it. He must bring them to comply with the word, and not study to accommodate the word to their humours. "It is true they are most rebellious, they are rebellion itself; but, however, speak my words to them, whether they are pleasing or unpleasing." Note, The untractableness and unprofitableness of people under the word are no good reason why ministers should leave off preaching to them; nor must we decline an opportunity by which good may be done, though we have a great deal of reason to think no good will be done.
III. It is required that he be observant of his instructions.
1. Here is a general intimation what the instructions were that were given him, in the contents of the book which was spread before him, Ezek. 2:10. (1.) His instructions were large; for the roll was written within and without, on the inside and on the outside of the roll. It was as a sheet of paper written on all the four sides. One side contained their sins; the other side contained the judgments of God coming upon them for those sins. Note, God has a great deal to say to his people when they have degenerated and become rebellious. (2.) His instructions were melancholy. He was sent on a sad errand; the matter contained in the book was, lamentations, and mourning, and woe. The idea of his message is taken from the impression it would make upon the minds of those that carefully attended to it; it would set them a weeping and crying out, Woe! and, Alas! Both the discoveries of sin and the denunciations of wrath would be matter of lamentation. What could be more lamentable, more mournful, more woeful, than to see a holy happy people sunk into such a state of sin and misery as it appears by the prophecy of this book the Jews were at this time? Ezekiel echoes to Jeremiah's lamentations. Note, Though God is rich in mercy, yet impenitent sinners will find there are even among his words lamentations and woe.
2. Here is an express charge given to the prophet to observe his instructions, both in receiving his message and delivering it. He is now to receive it and is here commanded, (1.) To attend diligently to it: son of man, hear what I say unto thee, Ezek. 2:8. Note, Those that speak from God to others must be sure to hear from God themselves and be obedient to his voice: "Be not thou rebellious; do not refuse to go on this errand, or to deliver it; do not fly off, as Jonah did, for fear of disobliging thy countrymen. They are a rebellious house, among whom thou livest; but be not thou like them, do not comply with them in any thing that is evil." If ministers, who are reprovers by office, connive at sin and indulge sinners, either show them not their wickedness or show them not the fatal consequences of it, for fear of displeasing them and getting their ill-will, they hereby make themselves partakers of their guilt and are rebellious like them. If people will not do their duty in reforming, yet let ministers do theirs in reproving, and they will have the comfort of it in the reflection, whatever the success be, as that prophet had, Isa. 50:5. The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious. Even the best of men, when their lot is cast in bad times and places, have need to be cautioned against the worst of crimes. (2.) To digest it in his own mind by an experience of the favour and power of it: "Do not only hear what I say unto thee, but open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee. Prepare to eat it and eat it willingly and with an appetite." All God's children are content to be at their heavenly father's finding, and to eat whatever he gives them. That which God's hand reached out to Ezekiel was a roll of a book, or the volume of a book, a book or scroll of paper or parchment fully written and rolled up. Divine revelation comes to us from the hand of Christ; he gave it to the prophets, Rev. 1:1. When we look at the roll of thy book we must have an eye to the hand by which it is sent to us. He that brought it to the prophet spread it before him, that he might now swallow it with an implicit faith, but might fully understand the contents of it, and then receive it and make it his own. Be not rebellious, says Christ, but eat what I give thee. If we receive not what Christ in his ordinances and providences allots for us, if we submit not to his word and rod, and reconcile not ourselves to both, we shall be accounted rebellious.

What's next for the car?
The cars we drive (and those that will one day drive us) are on the brink of unprecedented change. But does the future belong to the traditional manufacturers or to the disruptors of Silicon Valley?
On the day this piece was commissioned, the CEO of the world's largest automobile company stepped down voluntarily, citing the evaporation in public trust in his brand. This was a company that had worked for well over half a century to become one of the most established and most respected corporations in modern industrial history.
Volkswagen's dilemma could prove to be a pivotal point in the history of the automobile. It revealed the dream of endless, ceaseless improvements in technology and engineering to be a façade: things won't always get better. VW's woes don't necessarily mean that the system is entirely broken, but they do serve to show technology's flipside; it can be subverted to help big corporations gain a greater share in places where legislation is strict and unyielding.
Disappointment is mixed in with the hubris. Prior to the scandal, new technology was the panacea that underpinned a global industry worth somewhere north of $700bn every year. Car buyers were conditioned to annual improvements and a not-too-distant future of emission-free motoring and burgeoning autonomy, making traffic swifter, cleaner and safer. It was all going to be OK. These were compelling visions. The trans-continental network of chargers that will supersede the petrol station; electric cars that glide silently, with arrays of sensors that read the road and the surrounding traffic; cars shaped from sleek, lightweight carapaces with endlessly reconfigurable interiors, awash
with screens to entertain and communicate.
So will this rose-tinted futurism simply evaporate or will the future take on a different hue? Right now, there appear to be very few winners, either corporate or public. The cost to VW – one of the largest automakers in the world – will almost certainly set back investment in new technology. And the car-buying and driving public has realised that certain forms of emissions are just not going away – in fact they may even be increasing.
The car industry has always relied on established narratives to sell its products. Broadly speaking, they are the narratives of our lives – and how cars facilitate them while also conveying status and identity – and the narratives that underpin the car companies themselves. They are frequently compelling, with slogans and catchphrases we are invited to absorb and apply. They shape society and identity, whether we like it or not.
There are also two narratives about the future of the car: evolution and revolution. While the former has been dealt a blow by Volkswagen, it can't be written off completely. Every carmaker commits millions to R&D and efficiency targets are, for the most part, the parameters that shape the industry. Yet evolution will never have the same appeal as revolution and the idea that our relationship with cars is perpetually on the brink of a radical re-think. For car companies, the trick is to provide a path between these two extremes, continuing to offer slow, steady innovation while also showcasing the ways in which mobility could change the world we live in.
The agent of change in all of this is the concept car. Traditionally, the industry has used conceptual designs as a way of showcasing future directions in styling and technology. Concepts range from elaborately hypothetical design studies with zero potential for production, to lightly disguised previews of production cars that are already signed off and ready for market. At some point, the industry realised that naked futurism was only credible up to a point. Technological advances in design and production and a slow but steady awareness of car design amongst consumers meant that fanciful visions were no longer inspirational but actually infuriating, most especially if they differed wildly from what was in the showrooms.
So how do our imagined futures of the all-electric, autonomous car fit into these narratives? In the wake of the VW scandal, industry analysts pointed to Tesla, Apple and Google, three disruptors in a world still ruled by centuries-old companies, as potential long-term winners. More than any other manufacturer, Tesla has applied itself to the structural underpinnings of the car industry, creating and owning a charging network and controlling all aspects of supply, sales and distribution. To drive a Tesla is a futuristic experience, precisely because it is so removed from how we expect a car to feel. No other manufacturer can remotely update their global fleet overnight, seamlessly downloading software updates that unlock new features and functions. New models promise ever-greater levels of autonomy – or at least the potential for autonomous driving.
Apple and Google are the outliers. Utterly detached from the established brand hierarchy (albeit engaged in a prominent status tussle of their own), both are strongly rumoured to be entering the car market. Google's efforts are very much in the public eye. The roads around the company's Mountain View headquarters are home to its fleet of 50 test cars, soft, rounded bubble-shaped machines with a friendly face designed to put clear water between any historical signifier of automotive status. Apple's involvement is far more clandestine, as one might expect from the company, but its deep pockets, loyal following and design and engineering integrity have given it credibility.
The tribulations of the old school could help usher in the new. At the very least, industry watchers speculate whether VW's woes will accelerate the cause of electric cars, by reducing the economic lustre of diesel and spurring on new investment into the forthcoming electric infrastructure.
It's that latter impediment that has preserved and sustained the status quo for so long. The motor industry isn't just about cars and driving, but about road signs and highways, slip roads and car parks, petrol stations and tyre warehouses, classified ads and insurance, car blogs, magazines, TV shows and stadium events. It's culture, intertwined with modern life in practically every country of the world, from Sweden to Saudi Arabia. Removing the tightly wound tendrils of car culture appears to be all but impossible.
As a result, there is another form of futurism that conjures visions of the city of tomorrow and how today's brands can stay relevant within it. Historically, the motor industry has stayed resolutely detached from the responsibility of providing and maintaining a highway system; infrastructure is the role of the state. Today, we are told the next frontier is the interaction between personal transport and the public realm. Audi's Urban Future Initiative is a typical case in point. The programme, which grew out of a 2010 award scheme, invites architects to make a bold prediction about mobility in a chosen city. In the last five years, the company has invited Höweler + Yoon, J. Mayer H, Alison Brooks Architects and others to render up shiny visions of tomorrow. In 2014 the brief expanded to include teams of architects, ethnographers, scientists and planners. It's a valid approach but kowtows too readily to the city's submissive role in all this.
Our cities have spent the best part of a century being scoured and reshaped to please the automotive agenda. The last decade might have seen a slight shift in focus but there's still a presumption that four wheeled, internal combustion powered transportation – be it private, public, shared, leased, loaned or stolen – will be the dominant way of getting around for decades to come. And it's very hard to argue with that analysis.
The most likely scenario is that the 'future' will arrive in increments. In 2017 Volvo's IntelliSafe Auto Pilot will begin trialling on 50km of specially designated roads around Gothenburg. The system uses GPS to recognise which stretches of road have been allocated to the test programme, and the 100 private drivers involved in the scheme can then sit back and let the car – an adapted version of the XC90 that's already on sale – do the rest. Volvo has gamely agreed to accept all liability from any accidents that might occur, setting an important precedent.
The technology behind autonomous cars is essentially already here. Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, Lexus, Infiniti and many others all have discrete systems that can accelerate, brake and steer a car without any human intervention.
The hurdle is legislation. It seems unlikely that the automotive industry will step forward and take collective 2 3 responsibility for the injury, compensation, penalisation and death that follows the motorcar. Global traffic deaths currently run at around 1 million people a year, before the impact of pollution is factored in (the World Health Organisation estimates than 'in 2012 around 7 million people died – one in eight of total global deaths – as a result of air pollution exposure').
Technologists insist that autonomous cars could turn these horrific figures into a footnote in history but it would take decades to equip the global fleet with the requisite technology to allow a switch to be flicked overnight. Instead, systems and infrastructure will be added piecemeal to our cars, houses and car parks. Carmakers hope this will slowly 'bake in' the profitable desire for cars. Yet even this isn't a given. As car companies are acutely aware, the social signifiers of driving are on the move. Like any consumer goods that offer broadly similar functions across price points, cars are marketed according to desire. The unconscious map of the automotive brand landscape is perhaps an even more important landscape than the towns and cities we actually drive in. Very few companies are capable of mapping it with any certainty, which is why so much fieldwork is being undertaken. It's not just a case of 'here be dragons,' but here be whole demographics for whom the concept of car ownership and the once concrete certainty of prestige and status mean next to nothing.
Tesla's 'revolution' is very conservative in many ways because it depends entirely on the personal car continuing to be considered as a status object. You can be sure that every other premium brand on the market is developing an all-electric model to recapture the ground Tesla stole with its head start, but these new cars, impressive as they may be, will simply reinforce existing systems. If we're lucky, we will swap out road rage for range anxiety and we might finally stop coughing, but we will still be sitting in traffic, albeit glued (legally) to our screens.
Every year, the world's car shows host a clutch of impressive new concepts, groomed for the imaginary roads of tomorrow. Without fail, they promise tantalising new ways of travelling, such as being whisked along a highway in a cocooning, screen-filled environment like that proposed by Mercedes' F015. These are counterbalanced by smaller and smaller systems for individual users, like Toyota's i-Road personal mobility systems, designed to bridge the gap between driving and walking.
One scenario sees full-size autonomous cars confined to certain highways, taking us from home to work and play by automatically parking themselves at the entrance of cities, gliding into robotised garages to re-charge. Then the so-called 'final mile' devices take over, handling that irritating and unpredictable chunk of journey from station to office or car park to store. Can status and identity still be incorporated into this world? Undoubtedly. And new narratives will emerge to help lead us down these new paths.

Unanswered: Table Locking
Can someone please help me with ideas on how to accomodate a client request?
I have a online transaction with a substantial unit of work that reads many different tables. When the user selects a patient, they would like THAT patient locked from viewing from any other user. No other tables need to be locked.
Thank you in advance,

Re: Table Locking
The application would need to be modified to change the issolation mode of both the updater and anyone viewing. The program that needs the lock would update the record, setting the lock.
Another option would be to set a flag in the record at the start and have all others check for flag being set.
Either way, it's a program mod.Fred Prose

Spain's prime minister Jose Luis Rodríguez Zapatero on Friday urged Libyan rebel leader Mahmud Jibril to strengthen his organisation to be ready for "the new political era" that Libya would face if Moamer Kadhafi is defeated.
Zapatero told Jibril that Spain supports the rebels' National Transitional Council "as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people," his office said in a statement following talks between the two in Madrid.
Zapatero "encouraged him to strengthen his organisation and his operations so it is in a position to successfully address the new political era that Libya will have to confront.
"The internal reconciliation process and the process of constructing a new, stable, prosperous, sovereign and democratic society will be one of the key tasks of the future," Zapatero told him.
Jibril is the diplomatic chief of the National Transitional Council (NTC), a political body created by the rebels.
Libya has been wracked by a civil war since a violent uprising against Kadhafi, in power for more than four decades, swept the country five months ago.
We're on a mission to show you the real Middle East.

Spain is taking part in a NATO-coordinated operation against Kadhafi's military assets and has formally recognised the NTC.
While the NATO bombing campaign has managed to prevent the fall of opposition-held cities such as Benghazi and Mistrata, it has not been able to dislodge Kadhafi's regime.
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said in Madrid Wednesday that Kadhafi could remain in Libya so long as he completely gave up power, as part of a larger political deal, including a ceasefire, on the future of the country.
But Jibril said on Thursday that is up to Libyans to decide if Kadhafi can remain in the country if he gives up power.
He also reaffirmed that the international community should give the NTC access to frozen Libyan funds or let them be used as collateral for bank loans.
Zapatero told Jibril that Spain considers humanitarian aid to Libya to be a priority, noting that Madrid is the fourth largest contributor to the country in this regard.
The two also discussed the military situation in Libya, "the diplomatic prospects in light of various initiatives that have been launched and, finally, the internal situation of NTC and the territory it administers."

Guardiola: I love working for Man City
PEP TALK: The Catalan is delighted to be City boss
Pep Guardiola has spoken of his happiness at being Manchester City manager.
The 45-year-old, currently in Germany preparing for Wednesday's night's Champions League game against Borussia Monchengladbach, says he has been impressed by the level of support he has been given by club staff since his arrival at the Etihad Stadium in the summer.
And although he admits City still have plenty of improving to do before they reach the level he expects, he says they have made a good start given the team's packed schedule in the early stages of the season.
"I am so happy here," Guardiola said. "I am delighted how the people take care of me in the club, how they support me. I am delighted to work with these guys, with these players, and I want to make the step forwards and forwards.
"We are far away in the way we play sometimes to win the titles but I never expected in November in my first year, new league, new players, to play amazing, or to play a solid way for a long time.
"We play a lot of games. We played the Champions League qualifier, we play for example, when this round finishes, eight games in the Champions League more than Liverpool and Chelsea.
"It means a lot for the day after, for the game after, for many, many things. It is why we need time to achieve and hopefully we are able to go to the next game, we will arrive in February, March and April, the team will be better and better and better to of course to fight for the Premier League and of course in Europe, if we are able to take one point tomorrow."
Asked how long he will stay at the club, Guardiola said much depends on how satisfied the club's directors are with the performance of the team.
"I don't know [how long I will stay at City]," he said. "Always it depends how satisfied the club is with me, how satisfied is the fans, the chairman, the people, because I know exactly if they are satisfied or not.
"After that it's my impression, my feelings, if I am tired or not, if I am still willing to fight with this club."
