Fraternal Order of Police Oppose King Amendment
The FOP's national president notes that Representative King?s anti-animal welfare measure would hurt animals and hamper police.
September 3, 2013
The Fraternal Order of Police have joined vegans in their opposition against the King Amendment, an added measure in the pending federal Farm Bill that nullifies many state animal-welfare laws. According to the Washington Examiner, the FOP's national president, Chuck Canterbury, sent Iowa Representative Steve King a letter reporting that his amendment would encourage "criminal enterprises," such as puppy mills and cock fighting. "The amendment would not only endanger animals but would also preempt state laws and regulations," said Canterbury. "If your language remains part of the legislation, animals will be at a greater risk of mistreatment." The Farm Bill was passed by the House committee in July, but has yet to receive the Senate's approval.

Santa Fe is a town rich in nooks and crannies, little alleys worth exploring, tiny shops with objects ranging from cheap to expensive, all equally interesting. We had done little shopping on our trip until Santa Fe, but we made up for lost time by purchasing wares from street vendors. It was not all about the shopping, they take their food and drinks seriously and I could have spent a lot more time in this city.
There was one dreadful encounter and one remarkable site that I would like to recap. The dreadful was when Winston needed to use a bathroom and so we went into this galleria and found a public restroom. As we stepped inside and headed to a stall, a nasty dog poked his head out from under the stall and produced a vicious growl, warning us to use a different bathroom. We complied and headed elsewhere. This experience was the only negative thing that we saw in Santa Fe, the positives far outweighed the negatives, but it was startling!
The remarkable experience was the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe. The story goes that the chapel was built incorrectly so that the second floor was inaccessible. The reason the second floor was inaccessible was because the church was not long and the second floor was very high up, so a traditional staircase would not work. They considered destroying the second floor and rebuilding so a traditional staircase would work, but they had little funds and decided to wait in hopes a better solution emerged. On the last day of their hold out, a poor man on a donkey came and said he would build a staircase for free. He built it with nothing but a hammer, t-square, and saw. He was often seen soaking wood in buckets of water. Upon completion, he disappeared. He made the most incredible spiral staircase out of wood. A fun fact about the staircase is that it did not have a banister for the first two years, it was eventually added as the nuns were so scared that they would slide down on their behinds.
One more interesting story about Santa Fe, I will let the pictures do the talking. It is important to note that we met many Native Americans in Santa Fe who were selling their merchandise on the streets and in shops, so their culture is very represented in this town. It is also worth noting that they were all generous and friendly merchants and our experiences with them were very positive and enlightening.
We left Santa Fe and headed to Albuquerque. We were going to visit Jaclyn's relatives who live out here and tell them all about our pilgrimage. They had visited us out east before about 7 years ago, the kids were small and now tall with wonderful accomplishments to report. It was wonderful catching up with them all and learning more about places they live.
Before meeting up with family, I decided to take the kids on a tram to Sandia Peak. Jaclyn and the kids had never been on a tram.
Jaclyn was very scared. She told me later, "I initially thought about telling you that I refused to go, but I thought, maybe I will forever be disappointed or wonder if I maybe would have actually liked it, so I decided to go. I now know that I did not like the experience." The kids loved it, I loved it, and the views were spectacular. Nothing like a tram ride, there's a good one in Palm Springs, California, but they say this one in Albuquerque is the nation's longest.

Heavy lift operator Jumbo has recently completed work on a contract awarded by Geocean for the Moheshkhali floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal in the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. This will be the country's first LNG import terminal and is expected to help secure the future provision of energy for Bangladesh.
The Moheshkhali floating LNG import terminal will include a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), a subsea buoy system and a subsea pipeline, which will connect the terminal to an onshore pipeline system. Jumbo was contracted to transport and install the mooring system for the FSRU. This involved installing eight suction piles and anchors and a Pipe Line End Terminal (PLEM), as well as scouring protection.
The project work on site started in early January this year and has now been completed by the Jumbo offshore team and the crew aboard the Jumbo Javelin. Tom Rijnders, Jumbo's project manager, said: "Conditions on this project were at times challenging due to strong currents and poor visibility. However, the crew on board managed to perform outstandingly with a lot of ingenuity and persistence to complete the project within specifications."
Jumbo's offshore division has built up a solid reputation as a combined transport and installation contractor for the offshore industry. As well as installing subsea structures and moorings it has installed jackets, topsides, and wind turbine foundations.

Daily Thought For November 16, 2014
Great Insights Into The Gospel Reading For Today
This lazy servant did not serve his master because of an absence of love. It is interesting to note that the opposite of laziness is diligence. The Latin root of diligence is diligere, to love, to choose after careful study. Love motivates a person to give true service. Laziness is the result of a failure to love. The Lord uses this parable to reprove those who either fail to develop their gifts, or pervert their use for the sake of self-love. Let us examine our conduct today. How do we use our time? Are we punctual and orderly in our work? When we are at home, do we give our full attention to family matters? Do we practice a lively apostolate of friendship and confidence? Are we seriously striving to extend the Kingdom of Christ to all souls?
from In Conversation With God by Francis Fernandez Volume 5 pp. 471-472

It was a joy to shoot Marcia and Rob, one of our most funny, spontaneous and quirky couple!
They tied the knot on December 2, 2012 with a beautiful background of Centenial Park.
Quite a large group of people were having a picnic near to the ceremony spot, and as Marcia walked through the park towards the aisle, people were all cheering and clapping their hands for her. It was for sure one unforgettable memory.
This is also our first Jewish wedding, and we definitely love the ceremony, singing, dancing and the crowd. We look forward to other Jewish weddings to come 😉

Austin man sues date for texting during movie
A Texas woman got a reminder this week that dating is the worst.
The 35-year-old woman may be facing a legal dispute after a man she met online, Brandon Vezmar, sued her last week for texting during their first date to the movies, according to the American-Statesman.
Vezmar, 37, filed a claim against his failed love interest, who did not want to be identified, asking her to reimburse him for the $17.31 ticket to a 3D showing of "Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2" in Austin, Texas.
Vezmar claims his date started texting about 15 minutes into the film, which is apparently a movie etiquette transgression in his book.
"It was kind of a first date from hell," Vezmar told the American-Statesman. "This is like one of my biggest pet peeves."
I hope he wins. She's the rudest thing and thoroughly self absorbed. He deserves his money back.

On Sounds Good, George Eldred and Paducah Symphony Orchestra conductor Raffaele Ponti preview this Saturday's performance of Johannes Brahms's Symphony No. 3, Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring Suite, and Oscar Navarro Clarinet Concerto No. 2.
Ponti says the Navarro piece was suggested by this concert's soloist Frank Cohen, who was the principle clarinet for the Cleveland Orchestra for 39 years. Ponti calls the piece a "dynamic opportunity to show off" the clarinet's ability, sound, and color. It is cinematic and written in a stereo effect. Ponti says it is easy to listen to with beautiful colors and timbres.
An interesting fact about the next piece, Aaron Copland did not compose Appalachian Spring with the region of Appalachia in mind. Ponti says Copland actually wrote it as a ballet for a friend to be played by Benny Goodman. Ponti says the suite centers around a tune many will recognize from recorder lessons or church hymnals.
Ponti says the Brahms symphony ends like a sigh of relief. The effect comes about from ending a symphony of such magnitude in a "soft, subtle decay." Ponti says it has a deep, rich color.
The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. November 5th at Paducah's Carson Center.

Lieutenant-Colonel David Hugh Toler MBE and Juliet Townsend have been honoured with the titles by Her Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of Essex Jennifer Tolhurst.
They are two of eight new appointments to the roles and will assist Mrs Tolhurst with her designated duties across the county.
Lt Col Toler spent the majority of his career as part of the Coldstream Guards where he helped manage the UK's defence exercise programme.

He was also involved in the planning and execution of NATO operations in Bosnia, Kosovo and Iraq, for which he received the MBE.
Mrs Townsend returned to her native county of Essex in 2011 after building a career at a London brand consultancy.

Mrs Tolhurst said: "I am delighted to be able to make these appointments.
"The individuals concerned have made a great contribution to the county and fully deserve the recognition they have received."

Simply Give Us A Call, and We'll Help Your Lawn Within 1-3 Weekdays, if not sooner in most cases.
We never book more leaf removalss into our schedule than we're capable of handling too.
Additionally, we keep all of our customers up to date with our progress throughout the day. This is just part of the Nearby Lawn Care Experience.
We value each customer that trusts us to take care of their lawn. This is one of those customers.
We provide this customer with regular mowing services on their home. From time to time we make recommendations on certain things we see in the yard that need attention. With this customer, we recommended replacing their pine straw with fresh new pine straw or mulch. They opted into replacing it with a ground covering weed barrier and mulch on top of that.
After discussing the option with the customer they picked out a mulch color and we booked a date and time with them and coordinated delivery of with the mulch supplier we use.
Within the week we had the entire area mulched and they loved the overall result.
This job took us 1 1/2 days to complete and the end result was fantastic.
We live in Georgia and pine straw or pine needles however you want to refer to them are used as a popular ground covering. Such was the case with this customer.
This customer opted in for the more higher quality pine needle which is the long needle vs the short needle. The long needle looks a lot better. It is a little more expensive to purchase but in the end, it pays off in looks and quality.
If you are quoted a "too good to be true" price for pine straw installation, run.
What some companies do is drive around and throw out 30 bales and charge you for 120. Remember that it costs typically over $4.50 a bale to get pine straw from the farms. That means ordering trailers of 1,500 bales or more and committing to at least 5 trailers a year.
For pine straw to look good on a property it needs to be neatly tucked and rolled. If not, it won't look so great.
We install pine straw the right way so you are happy with the end result.
With us...you get what you paid for and more plus you have a local lawn and yard care company you can trust and ask for additinal services.
It just makes sense to pay for value and quality!
We helped a nearby customer with some of their bushes which were currently out of whack.
It had been a while since these bushes had been taken care of. We were able to happily trim the bushes and make them look amazing again.
This customer was very happy with the overall look of the bushes and we were happy to be hired for the job.
By that, we mean we have nothing to hide when it comes to providing the greater North Fulton & Gwinnett County area with top-of-the-line lawn services and leaf care solutions.
Once you give us a call, we'll give you a FREE Estimate Over The Phone for all of your yard care needs.
No Project Is Too Big Or Too Small For Us!
And, to make things even better, we're proud to offer...
Some companies only offer leaf-removal services and nothing more.
If you decide to go with our Leaf Removal Package today though, then we'll blow your leaves off of your lawn, bag it all up, & take them away for you.
It doesn't matter how big or small your yard is, or how many leaves you have.
We're the best there is when it comes to providing the greater Alpharetta area with top-of-the-line leaf blowing and removal solutions.
We even offer leaf mulching and spreading options as well.
Here at Nearby Lawn Care, We strive to change the way you experience quality lawn care services for good.
From small front yard mowings to entire overgrowth overhauls, we always look forward to providing top-tier yard solutions with a local, neighborly attitude.
All of our lawn care technicians are the best-of-the-best, and We're Never Completely Satisfied Until ALL Of Our Customers Are!
We're certain that you'll be WOWED by our quality service, and we look forward to being your go-to, local lawn care experts for many more years to come.
We Do Indeed!
Whether it's some seasonal work or a bi-weekly trim, a quality aeration or some fress pine straw installation, we offer consistent yard care and lawn mowing services that are sure to satisfy.
Additionally, Our Recurring Premiums Are Affordable And Reliable As Well.
And while we do offer the capability to conduct one-time-only cuts and services, it's actually a far better deal to choose us to help out over a long period of time.
That way, you won't have to stress about when your grass was cut last, and you can finally get that front yard that you've always dreamed of having.
Booking an appointment with us is simple and convenient.
Just give us a call today, and we'll be able to fit you into our schedule the moment you get into contact with us.
The word is spreading about our quality leaf removal services though.
The soonest we're able to fit new customers into our schedule is likely within 1-3 weekdays, if not sooner in many cases though.
We're Proud To Provide Brisk Lawn-Care And Leaf Solutions That Satisfy.

Update to the Update: My other possible purchase was this amusingly titled thing. No sooner did I click, "Order," than one of my fall semester bosses emailed and said, "Hey, order this thing and send us the bill. You're going to need it for [nonmusic] class this fall."
Updated: Apparently it has been ordered on my behalf and mailed by a sneaky GTer who has my address. I'll read it and report back before the semester starts.
Stay tuned for: Fluter gets a gig! Funded by an anonymous GTer.
Slate has just published and article/interview about the author of this book.
I'm intrigued, but I'm also easily susceptible to snake oils and holistic treatments. Anybody read it? Thoughts? It's a $10 snake oil if it is, but $10 will also buy me a burrito at Chipotle, so ...

Probably most of you do not heard about this site, neither do I, until today. The website already exists for 2 years and since then has been paying out money earned by the users.
About OneDayRewardsThe OneDayRewards website works like any other website of this type. We have a lot of surveys to fill in, short tasks and registration. New users may have a problem with navigating the site, I will admit that you need a moment to get used to it, because in terms of graphics the site is poor and it will be difficult to find what some people find on it.
I always say, the appearance is not the most important, it is important that the website function well. That's how it is on OneDayRewards, we have a lot of offers available, which I mentioned shortly before. Recently, there have been a lot of offers from users. These are mainly registration offers on different sites, this is a great option if you want to earn extra money.
Why is it worth completing offers from users?I will explain, you will fill in surveys and complete short tasks, and in addition you will collect the percentage that the user will earn on us. However, it should be checked before, we need to check information about an offer, because if there is a high minimum to withdraw funds, it will not be worth it at all.
Why choose this page?Recently, the site offers a lot of competitions, that is, we have the opportunity to win additional prizes, where other websites do not give this opportunity. At the moment, the best situation is the users from India because there are not many of them, and the prize is quite large, as of today you can even get 10 $ for the first place, and the users who participate are few. Probably it will change in the near future, because where it pays off there and there are many active users.
Another good argument to use this GPT is the low minimum to withdraw funds, if we have a wallet for cryptocurrencies, we can already withdraw the amount of 0.1 $ For those who do not have such an option, an internet wallet - paypal is also available. Payments three times a day! We do not have to wait, like other GPTs, for up to a month to receive our funds.
Advantages of the site:
- quick withdrawals,
- a lot of competitions with cash prizes,
- low minimum to withdraw funds,
- a lot of available offers to do.

Remarks at the Security Canada Alberta Tri-Lateral Conference
May 13, 2010
Calgary, Alberta
Address by Elizabeth Denham
Assistant Privacy Commissioner of Canada
(Check against delivery)
Thank you, Ken [Newans], for that kind introduction.
I am very happy to be here with you this morning, and to be part of this impressive program. Impressive – and somewhat intimidating, frankly, what with all the talk of fraud, cybercrime, security threats and gathering storms!
Without question, modern life has brought with it remarkable new challenges, and those of you in the fields of law enforcement, physical security, and cybersecurity are at the very forefront.
Protecting the security of Canadians, as well as our commercial assets and physical and network infrastructure, is of paramount concern to everyone. It is vitally important work – difficult, never without risk.
But there is one risk that can sometimes be overlooked, and that is the right to privacy.
And it is a risk.
Whether we're talking about a new government-wide strategy, or a shiny new tactical toy, privacy cannot be an afterthought. It has to be taken into account right from the start, even at the design stage of any security measure.
And, even after privacy safeguards are carefully constructed around the initiative, they need to be reviewed periodically, tweaked and reinforced, because nothing ever works out exactly as planned, or remains static over time.
This is the same kind of message we delivered to Google and other online companies a couple of weeks ago at a press conference in Washington: Privacy has to be built in at the development stage of new products and services; it cannot be an afterthought.
Why privacy?
I recognize that, in this room, I am not necessarily preaching to the choir. Many of you see personal information as the chief tool of your trade: The more you can gather, the closer you are to victory over your particular security threat.
But let me put this to you: There are privacy laws – at the federal level for both the public and the private sectors, as well as at the provincial level – and they apply to all organizations. Those involved in security are not exempt.
Aside from the legal obligations, there are other compelling reasons to weave privacy considerations into your day-to-day responsibilities. Some are on the philosophical side; others entirely practical.
- Human dignity
So what do I really mean by privacy?
In lay terms, we often think of privacy as modesty or discretion: The things you do in the privacy of your own home.
That is an important value –
[December 2009 cartoon of couple in bed]
– and it's one that is particularly important whenever there is an inherent imbalance of power and authority.
[ March cartoon of two police officers and the strip search]
This meaning of privacy came to the fore when my Office weighed in on the new millimetre-wave airport security scanners. We felt that human dignity was at stake here, along with cultural norms around strangers viewing images of airplane passengers through their clothes.
I want to underline that, in this instance, we did not stand in the way of the technology, or of the security it is supposed to enhance.
Instead, we called for better safeguards for privacy, in the context of human dignity.
In the end, at the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada we were encouraged by commitments that the inherent privacy-invasiveness of the scanners would be minimized:
- that they would be used as secondary screening measures,
- that they would be offered as optional alternatives to a physical pat-down,
- and that there would be a physical separation between the official who sees the passenger, and the official who views the scan.
- Identity integrity
But privacy is more than human dignity. It's also about asserting a measure of control over your identity – how you present yourself to the world; your reputation.
[April cartoon of dad on the couch with kids posting image to YouTube]
That's not an easy one to figure out. Many people, for instance, live in multiple worlds, and nurture a range of images and reputations. There are those who dwell in real life, or online in Second Life. Or both simultaneously.
There are those whose business face differs radically from their private face.
Some are all about show – tweeting, blogging, posting pictures and performing on YouTube. Others share their thoughts no farther than their most intimate circles.
[July cartoon about FB girl with 700 closest friends]
The point is that people have choices, and having choices is their democratic right.
It is their right because, as a democratic society, we place a powerful value on free speech, free expression and the right, in general, to be left alone. Our Constitution entrenches those liberties, and our privacy laws reinforce them.
- Control over personal information
I admit that those are tough concepts to pin down. They're hard to define, to measure, and therefore to defend.
But let me put to you one other dimension of privacy, which is detailed in law and can therefore be protected with very concrete and practical measures.
And that relates to control over personal information.
PIPEDA, the private-sector privacy law, is based on 10 fair information principles that set out the ground rules for the collection, use, disclosure, retention and disposal of personal information by organizations engaged in commercial activities.
Among other things, those principles say that organizations should only collect personal data for clearly defined purposes –
[November 2009 cartoon of woman at grocery checkout]
and limit the use and disclosure of the information in ways consistent with those purposes.
[August cartoon of loans officer]
The rules also state that individuals whose personal information is being collected should have a chance to give their informed consent.
And there have to be adequate safeguards to prevent data breaches or unauthorized access to the personal information.
[November 2010 cartoon of janitor in doctor's office]
I want to emphasize that these privacy principles also have important implications for security.
In the private sector, system security, data integrity and breach prevention must be priorities for any organizations that hopes to survive and thrive in a competitive market.
The state, meanwhile, also has practical reasons for applying fair information principles to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. Not doing so can spark dire consequences.
People can, for example, be wrongfully accused of crimes as a result of faulty or illegal surveillance or wiretapping. They can be stranded without cause on the federal no-fly list, without meaningful recourse.
Erroneous information may also be shared with foreign powers, leading to deportation, false imprisonment and even torture.
What's more, in the state's collection of personal information, less really is more. Indeed, there's evidence that the work of law enforcement authorities is actually hampered by a surfeit of information, collected willy-nilly without regard for its quality.
How these concepts guide the work of the OPC
Public sector policies and PIAs
These fair information principles are not mapped out as such in the Privacy Act, the law that governs much of our national security establishment.
They do, however, appear in something called PIAs, or Privacy Impact Assessments. Any federal department or agency that proposes a new or significantly revised measure involving the collection of personal information is obliged by Treasury Board to conduct a PIA and to submit it to our Office for review.
In the security arena over the past couple of years alone, we've reviewed PIAs on the airport scanners; the federal Passenger Protect Program (or no-fly list); enhanced driver's licences; e-passports; the federal anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist regime, and the National Integrated Interagency Information System for records-sharing by police forces in various jurisdictions.
PIAs are a process that typically involves considerable discussion with our Office.
But before organizations even get to the point of applying the 10 fair information principles, we expect them to justify the need for the initiative against a four-part test.
That test, which flows from the constitutional law, requires that an initiative that could impinge on individual privacy
- is shown to be necessary in solving an identified problem;
- that it is demonstrably effective in solving that problem;
- that the resulting invasion of privacy is proportionate to the gains expected,
- and that there is no other alternative that would be less privacy intrusive.
The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority did a PIA in conjunction with its new airport scanners and, in the process, was able to design an approach that would be minimally invasive.
Lawful access
We were less sanguine, however, about the federal government's proposed lawful access legislation. Measures along those lines have been in the works for some time, the most recent being Bills C-46 and C-47.
Both died at prorogation last December, although there's every sign they will be resurrected.
The aim of the legislation is to make it easier for police and security agencies to obtain access to communications data.
The bills would compel any company providing a telecommunication service in Canada to build intercept capabilities into its networks, thus ensuring that it would be able to respond to a legally authorized demand to turn over communications from specific users.
Newer tools – such as online chat, peer-to-peer messaging, or VOIP services like Skype – would all fall under the new umbrella, as would PIN-to-PIN messaging on BlackBerrys or text-messaging on mobiles.
Our concern, shared by counterparts in every province and territory, was that the measures were going too far, especially since some personal data would have to be turned over to authorities even without a warrant.
And so we made a series of recommendations to Parliament, such as overhauling the warrant application system as an alternative to lower legal protections, tailoring the powers to specific crimes, and bolstering the proposed oversight system.
On the other hand, there is one piece of legislation that we sorely hope will be reintroduced, and the sooner the better.
That's ECPA, the Electronic Commerce Protection Act. It's an anti-spam bill that is long overdue, as we are the only G-7 country in the world lacking legislation of this sort.
Spam, as you will all appreciate, is one of the leading ills of the Internet. It is a primary source of viruses and malware, and the vehicle for a lot of phishing scams and identity theft.
We like the legislation because it does much to protect privacy. By outlawing unwanted contact, in whatever form, it frees people from intrusions on their private lives.
It also gives meaningful teeth to the idea that people's personal information is their own, that it has value, and that it is worthy of protection.
At the same time, ECPA would also enhance security by protecting people from online threats, thus underscoring the potential for privacy and security to work in tandem.
Consumer consultations
Personal information has value to individuals as well as to the criminal element – no question about that. But it also has value to the legitimate private sector.
Businesses and those that support them – marketers, consumer survey organizations and so on – will pay dearly for information leading to the hearts, minds and pocketbooks of Canadians.
Again, as in the areas of public safety and national security, we wouldn't stand in the way of legitimate commercial practices. But they have to be lawful: They have to comply with the law and its 10 principles for the fair use of information.
That said, we also acknowledge that things are changing quickly in this digital era. It's no longer just about telephone surveys to gauge consumer preferences and intentions.
Today it's about GPS tracking on smart phones, radio-frequency ID chips embedded in products, and a dazzling range of online applications meant to figure out where you're going, what you're thinking, and how to get you to turn in to Starbucks for a brew, or Holt Renfrew for a new outfit.
[June cartoon of couple with computer and pop-up ad for a rocker]
It's a complex new area, but we're determined to stay on the forefront because the implications for privacy are colossal.
That is why we are hosting consultations with experts and the public on the online tracking, profiling and targeting of consumers by marketers and other businesses. We held the first such consultations in Toronto in April, and will host the second in Montreal next week.
Next month we're also coming back here to Calgary, in order to explore the privacy implications of cloud computing, a topic of intense interest to many of you here.
One of the ways that organizations collect a lot of personal information is through video surveillance, both overt and covert.
It can be a tricky area when it comes to complying with the law, and it certainly generates a fair bit of public anxiety.
[May cartoon of two women in public washroom]
That's why my Office has issued guidelines for both overt and covert surveillance in the private sector, as well as for the surveillance of public places by police and law enforcement authorities.
Indeed, it is a commonly-held belief that organizations are released from their privacy obligations if video surveillance is conducted in a public place. That is, however, a misconception.
As Google found when it started filming Canadian neighbourhoods for its Google Street View application, PIPEDA very much applies. Google had to scramble to comply with the law, including reshooting some images after informing local residents that the camera cars would be coming through their streets.
Our guidelines for covert video surveillance, published last year, underline that the law applies, even when the activity is conducted surreptitiously. In particular, we expect organizations to be able to justify the need for covert surveillance, and to apply fair information principles to the collection, use and disclosure of any personal data collected in the process.
But the guidelines are reasonable and realistic. For instance, they recognize that an investigator is unlikely to ask the surveillance target for his or her consent.
And so we said that if, for example, a person launches a legal action against a company, he should anticipate that the company might hire a private investigator to collect evidence for its defence. In that case, it might be reasonable to simply infer the litigant's knowledge and implied consent.
Digital fingerprinting
Another form of covert surveillance arises when companies are able to obtain information about the computers of users who interact with them online.
One way to do this is called digital fingerprinting. That's when an organization uses tracking software to determine a range of things about online visitors – the type of operating system they use, their browser, hardware and software settings, and even their IP addresses.
A bank, for example, will use digital fingerprinting to ensure that only legitimate customers are logging on to its site. Organizations seeking customer feedback may use it to ensure each respondent completes an online survey only once.
But, in many cases, individuals don't know the data is being collected, which means they cannot give consent.
And so my Office is preparing new guidance to inform people about this emerging technology. There are some things individuals can do to protect themselves, although their choices are by no means comprehensive.
Not unrelated is the phenomenon of DPI, or deep packet inspection. DPI allows ISPs to obtain information about the data packets they are moving through their networks. In Canada, ISPs say they are only inspecting the routing data contained in the packet headers in order to better manage network traffic.
Critics, however, argue the technology empowers ISPs to peer into the content of messages. In other words, they could, technically, be reading your e-mail.
In light of the potential for misuse, we commissioned extensive research on the technology. We now have a whole microsite on our website devoted to the subject.
Apart from that, we also investigated a complaint against Bell and its Sympatico Internet service.
I concluded that Bell was, in fact, only using DPI to manage its network traffic.
But I disagreed with them on one key point: Bell argued that IP addresses don't constitute personal information. I found that, since the company also holds the names, phone numbers and other subscriber data, it could be matched to IP addresses.
That means subscribers could be identified by their IP addresses, which in turn means that IP addresses are personal information.
As such, I recommended that Bell properly inform its users about its use of DPI.
In conclusion, I want to say that, even in this era of digital exhibitionism, people value their privacy.
They may value it to different degrees, and express it in different ways.
But, in the end, the choice is theirs – the privacy law exists to protect everyone equally.
And it doesn't exist in isolation; it is an integral part of our society. As governments and private enterprises go about their respective activities, they are obliged – by law – to take the privacy of Canadians into account.
That holds true whether an organization is real or virtual, based in Canada or merely operating here.
It holds true whether the organization is hosting a social networking site or safeguarding the security of the nation:
If it's collecting the personal information of Canadians, then privacy rules apply.
I thank you for your attention.

Why Do We Homeschool?
Did you know?
- More than 2 million children are homeschooled in the U.S. and that number is expected to continue to grow.
Share your opinion
What are your thoughts about homeschooling?
So why do we homeschool?
#1 - I want to keep Christ in their education. This is of the utmost importance to me. Secular schools and/or liberal schools are not an option for us.
#2 - I can go at the pace of each of my children. Education isn't one-size-fits-all. Everyone learns differently and at different paces. I'm also able to give my children individualized attention. We homeschool. We unschool. We worldschool. We have no limits.
#3 - I want to raise my children as I see fit. I feel like our rights as parents are being taken away more and more every day. Homeschooling gives me more control.
Education is not one-size-fits-all.
#4 - I want to have as much time with my children as possible. I work full-time (afternoons) and I would never see my kids if they went to school outside of the home. Also, we only get them for 18 years before they start their own lives. Our time with them is limited, so I'll take as much as I can get.
#5 - I want my children to be focused on their education, not their peers. I don't want them consumed with what's cool vs what they actually need. During school time, we are focused on school. There are no distractions and no peer pressure.
We only get 18 years and then they're gone.
#6 - I want my children to maintain their innocence as long as possible. I hear stories of kindergartners coming home from public schools asking about things they heard from their peers that our kids shouldn't even know about (i.e. sexual content). No, thank you! I won't be exposing my children to that.
#7 - I want to ensure my children have a solid foundation before they enter the world on their own. I can't expect them to handle the pressures of the world without me by their side when they're super young -- before they are truly prepared. It's up to me to prepare them for the crazy world. I'm given 18 years to do that. I plan to use each of those precious years wisely.
We're building a solid foundation before releasing them to the wild.
So many reasons
There are many, many more reasons I've chosen to homeschool. The reasons listed above are just a few. Also, the reasons listed above are my own personal convictions. This is what I've been called to do for my children. Not everyone's convictions are the same & everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.
- Have you ever considered homeschooling?
- Have you made the leap?
- If not, what's holding you back?
Join the conversation.

Iborra: A Fair Point
- Vicente Iborra reflects on Leicester City's 1-1 Premier League draw with Fulham
- The Foxes earned a point thanks to James Maddison's second-half equaliser
- Iborra came off the bench to help his side extend their unbeaten run to seven games in all competitions
While Kelechi Iheanacho was denied by Sergio Rico and Wes Morgan twice went close in the first half, the hosts took the lead at Craven Cottage through Aboubakar Kamara
However, Puel introduced Demarai Gray, Iborra and Shinji Okazaki after the break, with all three of them playing a part in James Maddison's equaliser.
James Maddison
Foxes midfielder Maddison made it two goals in two in the capital for the Club.
Iborra told LCFC TV at full-time: "It was a tough game, I think our mentality before the game was to try to win the game but of course we knew we play against a strong team who are in a difficult moment, the game showed it, it was difficult for both.
"I think in the first half we missed a lot of chances and they scored. In the first half we tried to combat the game, we had a lot of chances and at the end we could've scored, but I think the point is fair."
Personally, I work to play, to help the team, of course I don't like to start the game on the bench but the manager decides to work to change the situation.Vicente Iborra LCFC TV
With the Foxes contesting eight fixtures in December, Iborra says now is the time for his side to show their strength in depth.
The Spanish midfielder continued: "I think we have a very good squad, not only 11 players, now in this moment it's very important to show it because we have a lot of games, we have games every three days.
"We have to be ready of course, players want to play every week and the manager has to decide. Personally, I work to play, to help the team, of course I don't like to start the game on the bench but the manager decides to work to change the situation."

LISTEN: Walking with Brooks Koepka's girlfriend Jena Sims at the 2019 PGA Championship
What was it like to watch the PGA Championship alongside Brooks Koepka's girlfriend Jena Sims? GOLF's Jessica Marksbury got that opportunity on Saturday at Bethpage Black.
Marksbury joins Dylan Dethier on this episode of the GOLF.com Podcast to give some behind-the-scenes insight into Team Koepka and the action at Bethpage Black.
As Koepka continued to build his massive lead during Saturday's third round, Marksbury caught up with Sims. She heard about Sims' rise to stardom ("Now I think [fans] are aware of who I am") her personality ("I'm quirky and weird") and her on-course presence ("I'm so not discreet").
You can hear more below, or subscribe on iTunes, SoundCloud or Spotify.
Sims, Koepka's girlfriend of two-plus years, is used to the spotlight. She's a working model and an actress with more than 136,000 Instagram followers and was actually a day late to the PGA because she was on a commercial shoot in Florida.
Sims has also founded a nonprofit, Pageant of Hope, whose mission is "to empower, celebrate and advocate for children facing challenges, celebrating inner beauty and self confidence."

The musical roots of the group are firmly planted in the fertile earth of chamber jazz, but have been nourished by everything from hymns to the films of Ivo Caprino, from the music of Paul and Carla Bley to late-night skiing trips in the mountains, from post-rock to French pancakes and gospel.Pianist Anja Lauvdal, bass player Fredrik Luhr Dietrichson and drummer Hans Hulbækmo are all in their early twenties, and have been part of the creative milieu in the Jazz Department of the Trondheim Conservatory of Music. Anja and Hans have already made a name for themselves as part of the critically acclaimed rock bands Your Headlights are On and The Avalanche/Snøskred. In 2011 Moskus was the first jazz band to win Grappa Record Company's annual "Debut Artist Award".Moskus combines a personal and mature mode of expression, normally found among much older musicians, with youthful energy and unprejudiced openness. The band has a dynamic presence, alternating effortlessly between uninhibited playfulness and introspective solemnity, between free improvisation and composed material. The threemembers of the group function as equals, and they all contribute as composers.The album "Salmesykkel" ("Hymn Bicycle", referring to the harmonium/reed organ/ pump organ) was recorded in January 2012 at the legendary Atlantis Grammofon Studio, one of the oldest studios in Stockholm, with technician Micke Herrström.

It's just a little past time for this post but the little yellow flowers that some love to hate are still popping up in yards. Personally, I celebrate dandelions. They are one of the first flowers to emerge after a long winter. All types of bees use them for food and often they are the only food available in early Spring until other flowers join in the show. Check out the gorgeous bumble bee in the photos. Imagine if I had sprayed that dandelion with chemicals. Murder.
In my gardens, I try to go all native with my plants (with a few exceptions). Dandelions however are not native but I still love them. I don't want them in my gardens but I don't mind them in the grass. I kick the poofy seeds to spread them around. I've never understood the rage towards these cheery little flowers and I actively work to change people's mind about them.
My success story lies with my neighbor. One year he was spraying Weed and Feed all over his lawn. I asked him why and he said he wants to kill all the dandelions. I live in Cleveland, the lots are very close together. My beehive was 10 feet from where he was spraying. Knowing what I know about Weed and Feed, I had to compose myself and remember that freaking out on someone does not bode well and calm and steady wins the race. I took a deep breath and we talked about his reasons. I told him how Weed and Feed has half the ingredients of Agent Orange. How his little niece played in the grass and what the chemicals could do to her. I tried not to overload him with information but I did print out the following and give it to him the next day.
Five Reasons Not to Use Weed and Feed - Beyond Pesticides
I also supply my neighbors with free honey. They are the Aunts and Uncles to my honeybees. I explained drift and how it could hurt the bees they have come to love. The following year when the sweet dandelions popped up, I saw them out picking the dandelions instead of spraying them. Then he saw me and said, we only picked a few because we remember you told us that your bees need them for food right now. My heart grew three sizes that day.
It's not just what you do at your home, we live in a community, in a watershed, near a great lake. We don't live in a bubble. What we do affects others - human and animal alike.
Sidenote, even though my heart was racing at seeing the Weed and Feed so close to my beehive, I know that approaching someone with anger or freaking out is not effective. As an educator, I strive to present the information, tell the story, and let people decide for themselves what they are going to do. Thankfully in this scenario, that worked.
I highly recommend reading the book "Teeth of the Lion: The Story of the Beloved and Despised Dandelion" by Anita Sanchez. We brought her in to speak a few years ago to a packed house. The dandelion is a fascinating flower! No really, it is. Once revered and brought over to America and planted on purpose! I can only hope we once again see them for the worth they hold.

Rethinking school business management
Chaired by Matthew Clements-WheelerThe education sector is undergoing rapid change and is faced with complex challenges; those tasked with leading – and managing – schools through this complex and turbulent time have their work cut out for them.
More autonomy, increased responsibility, higher demand, greater expectations, changing support mechanisms, decreasing funding, spiralling on-costs and centralisation by growing MATs; effective school business management for the future may require us to rethink current approaches and develop models and frameworks more suited to evolving operational structures.
This panel discussion – chaired by Matthew Clements-Wheeler – seeks to unpick the current educational landscape and explore future possibilities by rethinking school business management.
Take-home points:
The panel will focus on:
- analysing the current educational landscape – changes and challenges;
- rethinking core aspects of school business management based on this analysis;
- embracing business-like attitudes to achieve school effectiveness;
- unearthing opportunity in unexpected places;
- overcoming barriers to collaboration;
- providing a strategic discussion framework for management development within schools.

Perception can mean a lot of things. For instance, the most common mode of perception for any person is the senses. Sight, sound, smell, touch and taste are common tools for perception. Intuition is another, but is a less common mode of perception. In kenpo karate, and other martial arts, perception is a little different.
Perception is knowing without consciousness. Hard to understand? Yes it is; it is even harder to put into words. True perception comes with experience and training. The more experience an artist has, the higher his/her perception is... Though that is not always true.
You may be an experienced martial artist, but you may have yet to rely on true perception as a tool. However, the more I think about it, it becomes impossible for me to believe that a martial artist who practices the Way and has a high awareness of himself and the world around him, could ever not have true perception. The experienced martial artist would have to be extremely lacking in true experience to not have developed this to even the slightest level.
Perception is essentially intuition, but goes beyond it to action without thought. So without really conceiving an intuitive thought, perception comes and the body of a martial artist takes control and strikes before an opponent can dispatch him.
It is a hard topic to talk about. Perception, in my experience, comes to those who are practicing and watching. It is something that should come to any martial artist who is in the Way.

This week, September 6, Queensland Symphony Orchestra will showcase an exceptional array of female talent for the eighth in its Maestro series for 2018.
Conducted by female powerhouse- the internationally acclaimed Alondra de la Parra, this concert features the Australian female soloist- Tamara Anna Cislowska on piano and will premiere new music from Australian female composer -Elena Kat Chernin in the form of her Piano Concerto No. 3. A trifecta of classical music girl power!
The Concert will appeal to a wide audience as it includes Prokofiev's first Symphony nicknamed the 'Classical'.
You'll also hear Beethoven's famous seventh Symphony. Full of energetic dance- like sections and rhythmical wit, this Symphony also includes 'Allegretto' which was featured to accompany 'The King's Speech' by King George VI when he was played by the one and only Colin Firth.
Natalie Low ( Second Violin) said, Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 has been a long standing favourite of mine. The first movement fills me with absolute joy. The playing of the second movement during 'The King's Speech' was utterly poignant.
For an appreciation of the wonderful female talent our Queensland Symphony Orchestra has to offer this Spring, head to the Concert Hall and let yourself go with the Maestro Concert – Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. The Concert will start at 7:30 pm in our own beautiful Concert Hall, QPAC. This triple treat of women artists will be in Brisbane for one night only!

Among a slew of announcements and reveals at Saturday's X018 presentation was a look back at Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Lara Croft's final adventure is about to receive its first batch of DLC in the form of The Forge, a new Challenge Tomb/narrative side mission.
The Forge shines a spotlight on new supporting character Abby, who players first meet in Kuwaq Yaku. The narrative aspect of the side mission is set to explore her backstory and her family's past, all of which will be unconvered in a new Challenge Tomb. Last week, Shacknews had a chance to try out this Challenge Tomb and try out a different way of tomb raiding: As a co-op experience.
Co-op tomb raiding is an online-only feature, which sees players meet up in a lobby and tackle the Challenge Tomb through a separate game mode. When two players join up, the primary player will always be Lara Croft, while they'll always see their partner as Abby. The idea is for both players to make it through the tomb alive. If one person dies, both players are returned to the most recent checkpoint.
The Forge Challenge Tomb focuses greatly on verticality, with puzzles optimized for two players. There are numerous switches that activate flammable gas, making Fire Arrows a must-have for this mission. The main idea here is to bring up a center structure by continually boosting it upwards with gas-powered explosions. That means pushing platforms and giant switches forward and firing off the arrow before everything reverts back to its original position.
One major thing to note is that these puzzles can be completed solo, with the aforementioned puzzle premises popping up in other areas of the main game. The degree of difficulty amps up significantly if Lara goes it alone, but it is possible. However, the key to success is to work together with your co-op partner. One person can push switches forward, while a second person fires off the Fire Arrows. One person can encourage their partner to get into position by lobbing visual ping indicators that point the other person in the right direction.
Eventually, my partner and I did make it to the end of the Challenge Tomb, but this is just scratching the surface of what's available in the DLC. In addition to the narrative elements that I didn't get to check out, The Forge will include a Score Attack and Time Attack mode for this Challenge Tomb, with a special unlockable outfit and weapon available for anyone who manages to finish it.
Those looking to jump into the first of Shadow of the Tomb Raider's seven DLC updates won't have to wait long. The Forge is set to release on Tuesday, November 13.

Amber Mallow Tours Pacific Rim with Essence of Joy Choral Ensemble
By Kala Burke (July 2009)
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Amber Mallow, an Elementary and Kindergarten Education major in the Penn State College of Education, recently returned from a trip to the Pacific Rim with the Essence of Joy choral ensemble. She says the trip was an amazing experience.
Essence of Joy toured the countries of Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan over eighteen days in May. The choir balanced time performing with time sightseeing, giving Amber many cherished memories of her trip.
On May 25th, the group visited the Korean Demilitarized Zone, which Mallow calls a surreal experience. On this day, North Korea detonated a nuclear bomb in an underground bunker, adding significance to the visit.
"It was not until after we had stood at the border to North Korea that we were told what was happening in North Korea," says Mallow. "We were able to see the sanctuary for plants and animals that has been created in the DMZ. However, we were also able get a better understanding of the constant fear that the people of South Korea live in on a daily basis. We were introduced to some of the soldiers who were there to monitor us. It was hard to understand that they are my age. It was a great learning experience and a very humbling experience as well."
Other highlights of the trip included a candle light service in a Buddhist temple in Taiwan, and a train ride past Mt. Fuji in Japan.
"It's hard to describe this past trip in words," says Mallow, "but to sum it up I would have to say that I have found appreciation for family, for my faith, for my freedoms, and for Essence of Joy."
Essence of Joy performs sacred and secular music from the African and African American traditions. The choir has released five compact disc recordings and has toured across the United States, as well as internationally. The choir is directed by Dr. Anthony Leach and has over 50 members.
"It is impossible not to smile when I think about Essence of Joy," she says. "This group is truly the joy in my college career."
In addition to her education degree, Mallow is planning on pursuing a minor in Spanish. Her goal is to become dual certified in Elementary Education and Spanish Education. She hopes to work in an inner-city school upon graduation in order to work with English Language Learners.
"I want to teach where nobody else will teach. I want to help the students who need it the most. I have also considered a long-term mission to a Spanish-speaking country to teach English or work in an orphanage. I am looking forward to a challenge when I graduate because I really do want to make a difference."

Black Bean and Corn Salad
As the last of the summer produce is winding down, I want to enjoy it all. Corn and peppers are always in abundance right now so adding black beans makes a quick, easy salad.
The beauty of this type of salad is it's versatility. You can soak and prepare black beans in advance or, in a pinch, use a can of black beans (just make sure it is BPA free). You can freeze extra corn from the harvest and throw this together during the winter for a colorful reminder of summer since black beans are available year round. Because black beans are a decent protein this can be a quick meal or a side dish.
There are no exact measurements to a black bean and corn salad because it's all about what you have available, the amount of time you want to prep, and your taste preference. There is no right or wrong with this recipe. Remember not to skimp on the extra virgin olive oil though as that is the fat that will help the vitamins and minerals absorb.
Black Bean and Corn Salad Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cup black beans
- 2-3 ears of corn
- 2-3 green onions
- ½-1 red pepper
- ½-1 green pepper
- Sea salt
- Fresh black pepper
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of one lemon
- Cilantro, chopped
- Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Black Bean and Corn Salad Directions:
- Chop green onions, red, and green pepper.
- Remove kernels of corn from cob.
- Mix black beans, corn, onion, and peppers together in a bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together salt, pepper, oil, and lemon juice until emulsified.
- Add dressing to black beans and vegetables. Mix together. Top with cilantro and parmesan.

Hollywood and So-Called "Progressives" Out of Touch With Christian Beliefs
It appears that Hollywood, the media and much of the culture it influences are now so out of touch with Christian beliefs as to be unable to differentiate wicked people who actually want to harm homosexuals with people who believe they are sinners, like us, who need the redemptive, life-giving, love of Jesus Christ. Everyone has freedom of conscience, of course, and can certainly disbelieve our message, reject Jesus and His call to free them from captivity (something He has done for us all).... and they can even take offense at being called a sinner, but don't confuse Jesus' love as hate or as being "anti-gay". It would only be hate if He discriminated against homosexuals by refusing to have His people bring the good news to them, as if their sin were not worthy of our love, while freely bringing the gospel to all other types of sinners (like me).

It's also about as close to an out-and-out techno release as you're likely to find reviewed here on TIWWD very often, albeit I'd still say it falls into the tech-house arena, just about. But between the twitchy, space-y minimalism of the Arkay Remix, the bubblin' acid of the Deepmilo Remix and the housier, organ-flecked vibes of the Giuseppe Rizzuto Pump Up Remix – not to mention perfectly playable Original, Stefan K and Mason (!) passes – there's plenty for DJs and dancefloors of many persuasions to enjoy here.
Out: This week
About: This comes on Sounds Of Juan, which is of course the techno arm of the mighty Endemic Digital stable.
*Personally I'll pass on knocking myself out with horse tranquillisers thanks, I need what few brain cells the rave years have left me with :-)

A powerful challenge was presented to the interior design studio Piedra Papel Tijera with the design of this restaurant. The well-known Calau pinchos restaurant of 30m2 decides to open a new 500m2 restaurant 50 meters up on the same street. A place with a privileged location and views of the beautiful Costa Brava village of Calella de Palafrugell.
This is how the studio explains us the project,
We designed a concept based on sun and shade, something that reminds us of the long summer days on the Costa Brava and that indoor / outdoor game.
We focus on the qualities of the space, large windows and direct views of the sea and thereby generating the feeling of being on a Mediterranean porch.
We work with superior materials such as oak, Catalan ceramics lacquered in bright white that draws with its mosaics the typical Catalan walls and plays to create spaces with transparencies without creating borders, and we receive the client in a lobby with a yellow and white pavement that with their shapes generate symbolic forms like the sun, umbrellas and the classic beach stripes. (pavement of Marrakech Design)
The distribution aims to generate different environments and each table feels privileged in each place. A large platform raises in the form of a grandstand a long bench and its multi-purpose tables.
On the first line of the facade several square and round tables are the favorites for the views to the outside and for their comfortable position with respect to the rest of the restaurant.
The protagonist a bar where all the product is displayed and where the guest goes and takes what he wants. A large illuminated cupboard and some ceramic lamps custom designed by an artisan in the Bisbal del Ampurdan indicate the hot spots of the place and the bar.
Hand-woven lamps by Indians Studio with summer colors decorate the grandstand, and combine perfectly with those of fabric suspension.
At the back of the restaurant, a great illustration of a whale by Joana Santamans accompanies a multipurpose space where you can held an event and with its a garland lighting style gives versatility to the multiple distributions.
The corridor on the way to this space is divided by some structures of ropes and iron and a variety of fish made also by Joana Santamans.
The graphic image we wanted to conserve name and logo and that already dragged a good identity and category and we designed some cards with the plot of the tiles of the bar.
