2)2.1APort: Suggest charge digital products with large input current, such as iPad(2.05A), in this port. Of course you can charged by 1A port, but it is slower than charged by 2.1A.
How to calculate the conversion rate of power bank?
The formula is: battery capacity x 0.8 (about 20% loss) / mobile phone battery capacity = charging times (approximately)
For example, a mobile phone battery with my 1440 mAH, Power bank capacity 10000mAH,
The formula is: 10000mAH x 0.8 / 1440mAH = 5.5(approximately)

A Planet of Viruses
Viruses are the smallest living things known to science, and yet they hold the entire planet in their sway. We're most familiar with the viruses that give us colds or the flu, but viruses also cause a vast range of other diseases, including one disorder that makes people sprout branch-like growths as if they were trees. Viruses have been a part of our lives for so long, in fact, that we are actually part virus: the human genome contains more DNA from viruses than our own genes. Meanwhile, scientists are discovering viruses everywhere they look: in the soil, in the ocean, even in deep caves miles underground. This fascinating book explores the hidden world of viruses--a world that each of us inhabit.
Here Carl Zimmer, popular science writer and author of Discover magazine's award-winning blog "The Loom", presents the latest research on how viruses hold sway over our lives and our biosphere, how viruses helped give rise to the first life-forms, how viruses are producing new diseases, how we can harness viruses for our own ends, and how viruses will continue to control our fate for years to come. In this eye-opening tour through the frontiers of biology, where scientists are expanding our understanding of life as we know it, we learn that some treatments for the common cold do more harm to us than good; that the world's oceans are home to an astonishing 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 viruses; and that the evolution of HIV is now in overdrive, spawning more mutated strains than we care to imagine.
Talk about doing more with less. Viruses do it, and this book does it. So complex a field as the fast-moving frontier of knowledge about viruses needs a superb introduction. Here it is.

End up next we want to talk about magnifying.
With the power of the Internet and we know all too well how powerful the Internet can be and how you can use it to your benefit and those were gonna talk about next joining me now -- Bethel.
Managing director of US campaigns for change dot Ford.
-- thank you very much for talking to us and I guess here this could be a very good thing but can it be and used.
Tampa did you -- might be a huge yet you know we have 30000.
Petitions -- out our website every month.
-- the vast majority of those petitions are all about people wanting to change their local communities and the world for the batter.
So change dot org it's a digital petition site.
For those -- -- it enables anyone with a cause to start up and run their own digital petition campaign.
What -- cost.
-- -- starting a campaign on change dot org is absolutely free.
-- when users coming to our website they just answer three quick questions.
What do you want to change who can make that change and why is it important.
It's super fast and just with answering those three questions you can start a campaign.
Share with your friends and actually have an impact on the world and in your community in Haiti you know on the Internet a lot of people they can always put in false information so obviously that's something that you always have to be aware of he's petitioners be verified.
When folks are just an -- say what their.
Usually trying to do is make a positive difference in the community we have safeguards in place on the back end to make sure that -- petitions -- being it is but that's very very rare name and look a bit younger people starting campaigns about.
People start campaigns about any issue you can think out from the very small like a woman he.
-- in my hometown of Seattle who started a petition because her son every parent's nightmare -- is in a school that only -- had a rotating cast out of substitute teachers and in one week and with only fifty signatures she got a permanent teacher assigned her classroom.
And it reaches to the very large everybody remembers what happened in the trade on Murton and then -- -- on Martin's parents.
Started a petition on change dot board to get that confessed killer.
-- bring him to justice.
And it -- campaign opened up a national conversation about race criminal justice.
And civil rights in America had and it's incredibly powerful also saying it was incredibly powerful it so I guess what what advice what elements.
Would you say helped make -- position.
For a petition successful and most of apple looks like the trip on -- one.
The most of -- petitions on our web say.
Start with a compelling personal story is something that happens -- -- that you was wrong.
And that you want to get public support to make it right.
So what we're looking for it is examples where when you look here the story you go oh my gosh I have to do something about that just last week.
A young woman named Savannah -- Was being prosecuted for tweeting the names of her sexual falters.
And another victim of -- sexual assault.
Heard it what was happening to Savannah started a petition on change shot board and in 24 hours those charges against -- were dropped -- that petition was so powerful because it got at that course and the right and wrong this is something that shouldn't happen.
And by speaking out isn't -- -- media and we -- -- can actually make a difference in what.
Does change dot org due to to help -- maybe support these these people who were coming onto -- to start these campaigns.
We'll look every -- at that 30000 but did in the month started at our website.
And we're looking for those strong.
Personal stories that -- point to the larger issues in America today.
And on our site when you go you'll see there's lots of tips and help for how to amplifier petition by sharing it with friends.
We help alert the media it's an amazing campaigns that are happening.
A great example of how this works is three girls in New Jersey started a petition on change -- -- asked for a woman to be a presidential debate moderator.
And I'm sure you saw the news today that.
A woman actually will be one of them a lot moderator is an accurate one of the three presidential debates -- -- so it's really great place to speak out and be heard would you -- that the petitions are generally more local or are they national.
A lot of the petitions are local and -- I just last week somebody won a campaign to get her knitting for a rifle range in Arkansas.
That's something that -- -- local community and access for the lot of course when officials.
And then there are things that are national in scope like the presidential debate moderator.
All right so then you you and your petition you're not necessarily guarantee that you petitions gonna win since the great.
I mean what's the biggest petition.
Her biggest win that you've ever seen.
-- -- -- Well last year with that -- Molly catch pole started a position to stop today at five dollar fee at Bank of America -- -- how I got reported on the story that would.
Credible that made it on to FaceBook.
And it was a huge sticking to the point where they actually reverse the bank's decision it was -- Exactly it was -- is partly because Molly Wood section amazing advocate for her campaign.
And partly because she was tapping into something that was happening nationally people were pissed off.
About why and about being nickel and dime and by the corporations and she did something about it.
That's incredible so you don't necessarily wind so -- -- -- -- what it's it's really referred to as a winning a petition vs.
I hate to say they were losing that the.
You know the thing about social media in general -- is that.
It's a powerful platform for speaking out so even if you don't get exactly what you asked for -- your petition just by starting a petition here raising the question and calling for change to make the world -- and that's incredibly important.
It's really important I guess that you were very creative in the way that you try to sell your partition because -- -- -- and sort of a lame way I don't think a lot of people are wanna jump onboard.
But if you may get dynamic and you have to sell it I mean it's -- like.
We do at a news business sell the story sell your attention to what.
I mean you have you'll need -- -- entire story in a way that makes sense to people all so that they can understand what's really happening and -- what you're asking for a important.
It's change dot org for anyone who wants to get more information they can go on to the website right.
Yes change that or start a petition today on anything facing you in your life today it'll make a difference okay that -- off some Katie got well thank you very much you've been managing director US campaign for change dot oracle colonel hunt them.
Get to the website and see if we can and we can read people's petitions on there as well we don't necessarily have to try to.

People don't quit companies -- they quit managers.
I don't see that quote in the underlying article, but I've heard it before, and I want to say that I think thats utter bullshit. Its one of those memes that becomes popular with executive managers because it makes them feel good about themselves and sends a message that they want to send.
It makes them feel good because it makes them blameless - when talented people leave their company, its not REALLY because of the company's direction or the overall work environment, regardless of what they are saying when they go out the door. Executives can repeat this meme to remind themselves that the little people they lead don't really understand big things like corporate direction and strategy and the real reason they are leaving is because their first line manager isn't doing his job.
Corporate executives expect a certain amount of incompetency from first line management, because they think of themselves as being smarter than and better than first line managers, and this meme provides them a little confirmation of that feeling, every time the organization looses a talented person. It also allows them to ignore criticism of corporate strategy that is coming from below, especially when that criticism is so dire that people are looking for another job. In that sense, this meme is the sort of rationalization that bad leaders wrap themselves in as the ship goes down. It serves to isolate them from thinking about criticism and increases the rate of descent. It also sends a message that they want to send - that first line managers, not executives, are at fault if the company cannot retain talented people and first line managers should feel that responsibility and fear the consequences of failure. It enables executives to put first line managers where they want them - with their backs against the wall, bearing all of the responsibility for what happens, but with no power to effect change.
I would line it up against: "Vision without Execution is Hallucination," alternatively attributed to either Edison or Einstein or Henry Ford, which is generally used in a "you employees better get to work on my vision like that smart guy once said" kind of way by executives. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together ought to realize that none of those people would have said something like that, and its absolutely cringe worthy to see such a modern phrase attributed to an ancient person by someone who expects to be take seriously as a leader. The quote actually came from IBM executive Danny Sabbah in 2005.
RE: everyone quits so much
Scalia said the high court originally ruled that there were no constitutional prohibitions on wiretaps because conversations were not explicitly granted privacy protection under the Fourth Amendment, which protects against Americans against unreasonable search and seizure of "their persons, houses, papers, and effects."That 1928 opinion, in Olmstead v. U.S., was overturned nearly 40 years later by the Warren court, which found, Scalia said, "there's a generalized right of privacy that comes from penumbras and emanations, blah blah blah, garbage.""The consequence of that is that whether the NSA can do the stuff it's been doing ... which used to be a question for the people ... will now be resolved by the branch of government that knows the least about the issues in question, the branch that knows the least about the extent of the threat against which the wiretapping is directed," he said.

Sure sounds like a guy who really cares about Constitutional rights and takes his obligation to adjudicate them seriously.
This idea that the courts are the least equipped body to address these issues is "blah, blah, blah, garbage." The executive has no incentive to avoid violating individual rights other than because of limits set by the court, and the legislature is bought and sold. No one in the legislature knows anything about the Constitution or has any reason to care.
The fact is that individual rights supposedly protected by the Constitution were not taken seriously in this country until the Supreme Court started taking them seriously. If Scalia doesn't take them seriously he shouldn't be on the bench.
Antonin Scalia expects NSA wiretaps to end up in court - Associated Press - POLITICO.com
Cyberwar is a weapon of the strong, not the weak. States with capable conventional militaries or economic clout are best positioned to exploit windows of opportunity created by cyber attack. Capable states are also best equipped to deter or defend against cyber attack through asymmetric threats or uses of force. The internet age thus increases, not undermines, existing hierarchies.
Lawfare › The Foreign Policy Essay: Erik Gartzke on "Fear and War in Cyberspace"
Susan Sontag:
It's exciting to me to subscribe to something that's foreign to my earlier taste ... Because I like what I'm not, I like to try to learn what isn't me or what I don't know. I'm curious.
Jessica Kerwin Jenkins:

Chris Dixon:
Your real competition -- and what you should worry about -- is the years you could waste going down the wrong path.
Robert Greene:
You are not wandering about because you are afraid of commitment, but because you are expanding your skill base and your possibilities. At a certain point, when you are ready to settle on something, ideas and opportunities will inevitably present themselves to you. When that happens, all of the skills you have accumulated will prove invaluable. You will be the Master at combining them in ways that are unique and suited to your individuality.

I think Decius and I should start practice claiming that MemeStreams is worth four billion while keeping a straight face.
Gregory Aharonian:
The general rule is, the more patents a company has, the more closely the quality of their patent portfolio approaches the quality of all patents, which is to say the majority of all of these patents are invalid.
Pierce Gleeson:
Twitter had created a system that demanded the attention of intelligent people, individuals capable of assuming the entire false persona of a global brand without lapses, but there was no reward for that attention. It was a responsibility, not an opportunity.
Alexis Madrigal:
Of course, the metabot does not want to create a single fake account that looks human. It wants to create tens of thousands of fake accounts that look sort of human. And it knows it should not overwhelm one user with 10,000 fake followers (though that's what happened). Rather, the bots should be spread out among many people, so that no one gets suspicious that thousands of porny spambots are following them.
Joseph Lawler:

Eduardo Graells-Garrido, Mounia Lalmas, Daniele Quercia:
Social networks allow people to connect with each other and have conversations on a wide variety of topics. However, users tend to connect with like-minded people and read agreeable information, a behavior that leads to group polarization. Motivated by this scenario, we study how to take advantage of partial homophily to suggest agreeable content to users authored by people with opposite views on sensitive issues. We introduce a paradigm to present a data portrait of users, in which their characterizing topics are visualized and their corresponding tweets are displayed using an organic design. Among their tweets we inject recommended tweets from other people considering their views on sensitive issues in addition to topical relevance, indirectly motivating connections between dissimilar people. To evaluate our approach, we present a case study on Twitter about a sensitive topic in Chile, where we estimate user stances for regular people and find intermediary topics. We then evaluated our design in a user study. We found that recommending topically relevant content from authors with opposite views in a baseline interface had a negative emotional effect. We saw that our organic visualization design reverts that effect. We also observed significant individual differences linked to evaluation of recommendations. Our results suggest that organic visualization may revert the negative effects of providing potentially sensitive content.
Data Portraits: Connecting People of Opposing Views
As with King, it is this subversive aspect of Mandela's legacy that is most in danger of being erased as he enters America's pantheon of sanitized moral icons. But it is precisely the aspect that Americans most badly need. American power and human freedom are two very different things. Sometimes they intersect; sometimes they do not. Walking in Nelson Mandela's footsteps requires being able to tell the difference.

[Jython-users] Packaging Jython with Modules for Easy Installation
From: Eli Finkelshteyn <iefinkel@gm...> - 2012-03-26 15:50
Hi, I've just built a Jython project that uses both some Python module imports and some Java jars. On my own computer, since I just wanted the thing done, I've gotten things to work in a very hacky way by hardcoding sys.path and installing every module and jar I wanted separately. This is definitely not something I want to keep for a release version. I've read about being able to package everything up into one standalone Jython jar, and that sounds pretty good to me. Is there any reason I shouldn't do this? If not, is there a guide on the best way to do this someone can point me to? Thanks! Eli |

KCI travelers suffer another go-round of flight troubles
- Autumn MorningSky
- Web Producer- Kansas City Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook | Google+
Travelers out of Kansas City International Airport are scrambling to rebook flights and find ways to holiday destinations after a storm headed to the east caused another round of delays and cancellations Friday.
According to KCI's website, as of at 2 p.m. Friday, storms had delayed 11 flights and canceled four. As the storm moved on after blanketing the Plains on Thursday, the disruptions it has caused airports to the east have rippled back through KCI (Code: MCI).
Some travelers have complained that the website's information isn't accurate.
But KCI spokesman Joe McBride pointed out Friday that it is the airline — not the airport — that feeds the information displayed on the site.
"Flight information is only as good as the info fed from the airline," McBride said. "There might be a flight that's different on the airline's website from our website, and that's the airline's issue."
KCI's website displays the same information at the airport's terminals.
Mission-based travel agency Acendas offers its clients travel insurance to protect them from scheduling mishaps – especially during this time of the year.
Cynthia Riggins, Acendas' director of vacation travel, has helped a number of clients navigate flight issues with the insurance. One client had booked a vacation to Australia worth $25,000 and was able to get his money back because he had bought insurance.
"It's a nice investment," Riggins said. "I told him we really needed to protect that, and now he will get all of his money back."
The client would have had to either forfeit the cost of the trip or pay a change fee to get later tickets. Riggins said that even if someone tried to book a canceled trip the next day, flights often are so full that it takes days to get on another flight.
Autumn covers retail, advertising and marketing, and creates Web stories and other online content.

Last year I was a magician-I wore a plain white tee, black jeans, a black blazer, and painted a pencil black with a white end to look like a wand. My fave part was the hat-it was a black top hat with a king, queen, and jack playing cards stapled to it! Oh, and I also brought a stuffed rabbit to pull out of my hat

I always have to be so sparkly and everything. Even though I'm in the fifth grade, this year I was a (gorgeous, sparkly, glittery) fairy princess. All of my friends and girls in my class loved it, but next year I'm going into the middle school - sixth grade and will people still love my fashinista, sparkly taste? Or will they make fun of me? Anyway, I think I'm going to be a cheerleader- is that okay?

One bright spot of Barack Obama's re-election was knowing that unemployment rates were about to soar for the precise groups that voted for him -- young people, unskilled workers and single women with degrees in gender studies. But now the Democrats are sullying my silver lining by forcing Republicans to block an utterly pointless tax-raising scheme in order to blame the coming economic Armageddon on them.
Democrats are proposing to reinstate the Bush tax cuts for everyone ... except "the rich." (Why do only tax cuts come with an expiration date? Why not tax increases? Why not...
You get bonus points for mentioning the obliteration of the AMT fix, which is the largest of the hidden Obama taxes on the middle class, and one that nearly everybody misses. Kudos.

Last week, we found out that a real-life tiger almost drowned on the set of Life of Pi, and the film was still allowed a "no animals were harmed" certification. Ang Lee, the film's director, confirmed the almost-drowning but also defended the film's trainers, saying that the tiger received "five-star treatment" and received "as much [care] as we possibly could."

List of heritage sites damaged during Syrian Civil War
This is a list of heritage sites that were damaged during the Syrian civil war.
Damage has been caused to all six World Heritage sites in Syria along with numerous historic buildings, tell mounds, and archaeological sites.[1] Destructive effects of the conflict are caused by shelling, looting and army or militias occupation.
- Archaeological Villages of Northern Syria (World Heritage Site)
- Bosra (World Heritage Site)
- Krak des Chevaliers (World Heritage Site)[2][3]
- Palmyra (World Heritage Site), Islamic citadel damaged by gunfire.[4]
- Old city of Damascus (World Heritage Site)[1]
- Medieval buildings in the Ancient City of Aleppo (World Heritage Site)[1][5]
- Al-Madina Souq in Aleppo, world's largest covered historic market, destroyed by fire thought to have been started by shelling.[6]
- Great Mosque of Aleppo, damaged during a Syrian rebel offensive. Wall destroyed by Rocket-propelled grenades.[7] Also damage to the prayer hall and main gate.[8]
- Apamea and the wall and towers of the citadel of Qal'at al-Mudiq (Al-Madiq Castle). (Tentative World Heritage Site)
- Mosque of Sermin[9]
- Mosque of al-Tekkiyeh Ariha[10]
- Al-Qusaayr Great Mosque
- Mar Elias monastery[10][11]
- Mosque al-Herak[12]
- Oldest mosque in city of Sermin
- Our Lady of Seydnaya Monastery
- Citadel of Aleppo[13]
- Assyrian Temple at Tell Sheikh Hamad[2]
- large parts of Hama
- large parts of Homs
- Tomb of Sheikh Dahur al-Muhammad in Rityan
- unspecified sites and monuments in the Daraa District, in particular Dar al-Balad, Da'il and Inkhil.
- Mosque al-Umary in Daraa (one of the oldest Islamic monuments)
Concern has also been raised about sites likely to be affected by shelling including the World Heritage Sites at the centres of Damascus and Aleppo and the tentative World Heritage Site of Norias of Hama.
There are twenty five cultural heritage museums dispersed around Syria, many with artifacts stored outside. It has been reported that Homs museum has been looted and that only the museums and monuments of the capital, Damascus are safe from looting and destruction from the escalating warfare between government and armed rebel militias. The Prime Minister of Syria, Adel Safar warned on 11 July 2011 that "the country is threatened by armed criminal groups with hi-tech tools and specialized in the theft of manuscripts and antiquities, as well as the pillaging of museums" and called for increased security measures. This warning about the future situation has been interpreted[by whom?] as encouragement for the regime to participate in looting, as is suggested [by whom?] to have happened before in the times of Hafez al-Assad.[2]
- Hama museum was also reported to have been looted[by whom?] on 14 July 2011 and a golden, Aramaic statue dating to the 8th century BC was stolen. The doors were not damaged in the incident, possibly indicating staff responsibility for the looting.
- The Museum of Raqqa, known as the Qala'at Jabar Museum was also looted on 1 May 2012.[by whom?] Stolen items included three figurines of the goddess Ishtar and pottery dating to the third millennium BC.
- Roman mosaics were looted from Apamea with Roman floors were ripped up with bulldozers.[by whom?]
- Two capitols from the collonade of Decumanus, the main (Roman) road in Apamea.
- The Museum of Deir ez-Zor
- The Maarat al-Numan Museum[2]
Security at the Museum of Idlib has also been raised as a concern by Syrian archaeological heritage under threat. The lack of documentation of antiquities in the country has created a severe problem protecting the collections. Looting carries a fifteen-year prison sentence in Syria.[14]
Latest reports indicate a growing black market in the region where antiquities are being traded for weapons by the rebels. Time Magazine commented that continued looting will "rob Syria of its best chance for a post-conflict economic boom based on tourism, which, until the conflict started 18 months ago, contributed 12% to the national income."[1]
Army or militias occupation[edit]
Damage to ancient sites can be caused due to army occupation by encampments, entrenchment of military vehicles and weapons. It can also be caused during movement of materials for construction, souvenirs or even target practice.
- Palmyra (World Heritage Site), tank occupation, statues and reliefs damaged.[4]
- Apamea (Tentative World Heritage Site), bulldozers digging into the citadel mound.[citation needed]
- Bosra (World Heritage Site), damaged by tanks.[citation needed]
- Tell Rifa'i, damaged by soldiers using it as a camp.[citation needed]
- The Chateau de Chmemis in Salamyeh, shelters for tanks excavated at the base of the citadel.[citation needed]
- Khan Sheikhoun, shelters for tanks on the slopes of the tell.[citation needed]
- Tell Afis, damaged by encampments.[citation needed]
- Tell A'zaz, damaged by installation of heavy weaponry.[citation needed]
- Deir Mar Musa al-Habashi monastery, possibly damaged during army search.[citation needed]
- Kafr Nubbel rock shelters, damaged during searches for deserters.[citation needed]
- Qal Markab, damaged by installation of heavy weaponry.[citation needed]
- Tell Nebi Mend, damaged by installation of heavy weaponry.[citation needed]
- Homs Qal, tanks and heavy weaponry installation.[citation needed]
- Qal Hama, tanks and heavy weaponry installation.[citation needed]
UNESCO reaction[edit]
On 30 March 2012 Irena Bokova, the Director-General of UNESCO made a public appeal for the protection of Syria's cultural heritage and expressed "grave concern about possible damage to precious sites."[15]
On 2 October, Bokova issued a statement of regret about the destruction and fire that burnt the ancient souk in the old city of Aleppo. Calling it a "crossroads of cultures since the 2nd millennium BC". She called on the parties involved to comply with the Hague Convention of 1954 on the protection of cultural property in the event of armed conflict. She furthermore promised to send a team to assess the situation and provide assistance for emergency situations in order to protect Aleppo's heritage and to mitigate the effects of the cultural disaster and to avoid further damage.[16]
In June 2013, UNESCO placed Syria's six World Heritage Sites on the organization's list of endangered sites.[17]

From this year's Budget, Som Mittal, President, NASSCOM expects the minimum alternate tax to be removed. It's very important that MAT is removed as it signals a very strong message.
Som Mittal President NASSCOM
The Union Budget will be presented on March 16 post the State elections. This could be the UPA government's final showdown. The economy is going through a slow phase, the bureaucracy is in a state of paralysis and corporate India is suffering from a bout of depression.
Given these fiscal and political constraints, can Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee change the mood of the nation? Will he present an agenda for growth or a statement of accounts? From this year�s Budget, Som Mittal, president, NASSCOM expects the MST to be removed. �We have formed a great scheme called SEZ. Last year we introduced minimum alternate tax (MAT) on it, it gave a very wrong signal and I hope this year the finance minister will remove the MAT.� He adds, �It doesn�t have an impact on the extra creditor and its cash flows because anyway it's adjusted over a period of 15 years but for us it's very important that MAT is removed as it signals a very strong message.� Last year, Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) OF 18.5 percent on Special Economic Zone (SEZ) developers and units was imposed by the Finance Minister as a result of which there was a sharp deceleration in investments in SEZs. While the commerce ministry is considering various measures to dilute the conditions for setting up an SEZ, many, including Mittal are hoping that the finance minister will remove MAT for SEZ units and developers.

The assignee for this patent, patent number 8527632, is
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "The present invention relates to an apparatus for the secure transfer of one or more data files from a source to a recipient. The present invention also relates to a method of transferring data securely and a computer-readable medium.
"Systems for transferring data files from an organisation to a recipient outside the organisation are well known. Traditionally, this may involve sending hard copy in the post or when time critical, sending the data by courier.
"Electronic mail is also well established for the transmission of machine-readable data but many organisations now include information governance systems which may place limits on the extent to which email may be used.
"The use of email is difficult to control in that it is difficult to place safeguards on the extent to which data may be distributed throughout the Internet. It is also difficult to manage workflow in that in order for data to be transmitted outside the organisation, it may be necessary to seek managerial approval. However, in order for the workflow to be achieved in a reasonable time and to avoid placing unnecessary burden upon senior management, approval may be given by senior management but the task of actually sending the data may be delegated. Existing email systems do not lend themselves to the management of workflow in these situations.
"A further problem with the use of existing email is that email attachments are held on many servers in a non-secure way. Thus, even when data is encrypted or compressed, it is likely that some information can be derived from file headers or file names etc.
"A further problem also exists with email transmission in that it is usual practice for a limit to be placed on the size of the files that may be transmitted. These limits are continually increasing but at the same time data files are also increasing in size. Consequently, there is a risk that an urgent and important file required outside the organisation may be held up due to file size restrictions.
"A further problem exists when file encryption is used for files sent as email attachments. In some circumstances, sensitivities may exist in terms of data being encrypted or compressed given that there is a risk that the data itself may in some way corrupted. In many situations such corruption is obvious but in some more critical situations such as, for example, the transmission of medical related data, the risk of such corruptions cannot be tolerated given that the modified data could be perceived as valid when not actually accurate. Thus, general encryption techniques are not encouraged within such environments.
"It is therefore appreciated that an improved system is required for the transfer of data to a recipient outside an organisation in a secure and certain way so as to satisfy the requirements of information governance. However, it is also appreciated that such systems must be easy to use and particularly easy to use on the part of a recipient. Any complications may result in the recipient refusing to receive the data and ultimately this may then lead to previously adopted techniques being used, such as the data being dispatched by courier."
In addition to obtaining background information on this patent, VerticalNews editors also obtained the inventors' summary information for this patent: "According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for the secure transfer of one or more data files from a secure source to a recipient. The invention comprises a processing device; a first storage device for storing instructions for facilitating said secure transfer; an encrypted storage device for storing encrypted copies of data files for secure transfer; and an interface device for communicating with a secure internal network and the Internet. In use, a source issues a request via a local terminal to transmit a selected file to the specified recipient by identifying the data file and a recipient address. In response to the command being approved by the processing device, a copy of the selected file is transferred to the encrypted storage device. A processing device issues an email to the recipient identifying the location of the selected data file for collection and a first password. The processing device transfers the selected file to the recipient in response to the recipient identifying said location and providing said first password."

For other uses, see Ocelot (disambiguation).
Conservation status
, Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)
Scientific classification
L. pardalis
Binomial name
Leopardus pardalis, (Linnaeus, 1758)
Ocelot range
The ocelot (/ˈɒsəlɒt/; Leopardus pardalis), also known as the dwarf leopard, is a wild cat distributed extensively over South America including the islands of Trinidad and Margarita, Central America, and Mexico. It has been reported as far north as Texas. North of Mexico, it is found regularly only in the extreme southern part of Texas, although there are rare sightings in southern Arizona.
The ocelot is similar in appearance to a domestic cat. Its fur resembles that of a clouded leopard or jaguar and was once regarded as particularly valuable. As a result, hundreds of thousands of ocelots were once killed for their fur. The feline was classified a "vulnerable" endangered species from 1972 until 1996, and is now rated "least concern" by the 2008 IUCN Red List.

The name ocelot comes from the Nahuatl word ōcēlōtl (pronounced oːˈseːloːt͡ɬ), which usually refers to the jaguar (Panthera onca) rather than the ocelot.
The ocelot's genus Leopardus consists of nine species similar to the ocelot, such as Geoffroy's cat and the margay, which are also endemic to South and Central America. All of the cats in Leopardus are spotted, lithe, and small, with the ocelot being the biggest.
Certain ocelot subspecies are officially endangered, although the species as a whole is not. The following are the currently recognized subspecies of ocelot:
Leopardus pardalis pardalis, Amazon Rainforest,
Leopardus pardalis aequatorialis, northern Andes and Central America,
Leopardus pardalis albescens, eastern Mexico, southern Texas,
Leopardus pardalis melanurus, Venezuela, Guyana, Trinidad,
Leopardus pardalis mitis, Argentina, Paraguay,
Leopardus pardalis nelsoni, southwestern Mexico,
Leopardus pardalis pseudopardalis, Colombia,
Leopardus pardalis puseaus, Ecuador,
Leopardus pardalis sonoriensis, northwestern Mexico, southern Arizona,
Leopardus pardalis steinbachi, Bolivia,
Physical characteristics:
The ocelot ranges from 68 to 100 centimetres (27 to 39 in) in length, plus 26 to 45 centimeters (10 to 18 in) in tail length, and typically weighs 8 to 18 kilograms (18 to 40 lb), although much larger individuals have occasionally been recorded, making it the largest of the generally dainty Leopardus wild cat genus. It has sleek, smooth fur, rounded ears and relatively large front paws. While similar in appearance to the oncilla and margay, which inhabit the same region, the ocelot is larger.
The coat pattern of ocelots can vary, being anything from cream to reddish-brown in color, or sometimes grayish, and marked with black rosettes. In many individuals, some of the spots, especially on the back, blend together to form irregular curved stripes or bands. The fur is short, and paler than the rest of the coat beneath. There are also single white spots, called ocelli, on the backs of the ears. Two black stripes line both sides of the face, and the long tail is banded by black.
The ocelot is mostly nocturnal and very territorial. It will fight fiercely, sometimes to the death, in territorial disputes. In addition, the cat marks its territory with urine. Like most felines, it is solitary, usually meeting only to mate. However, during the day it rests in trees or other dense foliage, and will occasionally share its spot with another ocelot of the same sex. Males occupy territories of 3.5 to 46 square kilometers (1.4 to 18 sq mi), while females occupy smaller, non-overlapping territories of 0.8 to 15 square kilometers (0.31 to 5.8 sq mi). Territories are marked by urine spraying and by leaving feces in prominent locations, sometimes favoring particular latrine sites.
Ocelots hunt over a range of 18 km (6.9 sq mi), taking mostly small animals, including mammals, lizards, turtles, and frogs, crabs, birds, and fish. Almost all of the prey that the ocelot hunts is far smaller than itself, with rodents, rabbits, and opossums forming the largest part of the diet. Studies suggest that it follows and finds prey via odor trails, but the ocelot also has very good vision, including night vision.
Reproduction and life cycle:
Ocelots typically breed only once every other year, although the female may mate again shortly after losing a litter. Mating can occur at any time of year, and estrus lasts from seven to ten days. After mating, the female will find a den in a cave in a rocky bluff, a hollow tree, or a dense (preferably thorny) thicket. Gestation lasts 79 to 82 days, and usually results in the birth of only a single kitten, with its eyes closed and a thin covering of hair. Litters of two or three kittens also occur, but are less common. The small litter size and relative infrequency of breeding make the ocelot particularly vulnerable to population loss.
Compared with other small cats, ocelot kittens grow quite slowly. They weigh around 250 grams (8.8 oz) at birth, and do not open their eyes for 15 to 18 days. They begin to leave the den at three months, but remain with their mother for up to two years, before dispersing to establish their own territory. Ocelots live for up to 20 years in captivity.
Distribution and habitat:
The ocelot is distributed extensively over South America, Central America, and Mexico. They have been reported as far north as Texas, and as far east as Trinidad in the Caribbean. Countries in this range are: Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, United States and Venezuela. The cat is likely extinct in Uruguay.
The ocelot once inhabited chaparral thickets of the Gulf Coast of south and eastern Texas, and could be found in Arizona, Louisiana, and Arkansas. In the United States, it now ranges only in several small areas of dense thicket in South Texas and is rarely sighted in Arizona. On November 7, 2009, an ocelot was photographed in the mountains of Cochise County, Arizona. This was the first such verifiable evidence of the feline's presence in the state. In February 2011, the Arizona Game and Fish Department confirmed the sighting of another ocelot in the Huachuca Mountains of southern Arizona.
The remnant U.S. ocelot population is located in south Texas but has declined from 80-120 individuals in 1995 to less than 50 in recent years, with about half of ocelot deaths a result of automobile accidents. Most surviving Texas ocelots are in the shrublands remaining at or near the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge near Brownsville, where only 30-35 animals remain.
Ocelots only inhabit areas with relatively dense vegetation cover, although they may occasionally hunt in more open areas at night. They are found in tropical forest, thorn forest, mangrove swamps and savanna, at elevations ranging up to 1,200 meters (3,900 ft).
As pets:
Like many wild cats, ocelots are occasionally kept as pets. Salvador Dalí frequently traveled with his pet ocelot Babou, even bringing it aboard the luxury ocean liner, SS France.
Musician Gram Parsons kept an ocelot as a pet in the back yard swimming pool area of his family's Winter Haven, Florida, home during his teens, in the mid-1960s.
The Moche people of ancient Peru worshipped animals and often depicted the ocelot in their art.
