Menu Plan
As promised last week, this week was less busy but equally exciting.
The whole week led up to us signing the papers on our new house then spending the weekend unpacking round one of the boxes and doing the inevitable little things one does when moving into a new house.
This week we have a few more things on the docket in addition to trickling over boxes of stuff that we don't use every day...and there is lots of stuff we don't use every day.
I have a feeling that the crock pot is going to be my best friend for dinner for the upcoming months.
With that in mind, we will be eating:
Sunday - Pizza w/the youth group
Monday - Nicoise Salad
Tuesday - Chili & Cornbread
Wednesday - Everyone will be in different directions so YOYO (your on your own)
Thursday - Slow Cooker Gumbo
Friday - Date Night
Saturday - Leftovers
This is part of MPM.

My favorite on your menu in the YOYO. <3ReplyDeleteReplies
Sometimes YOYO is the best plan. :)Delete
I'm so glad to see someone else does leftovers too! We do those here at my house every week -- I feel wasting isn't saving, but also sometimes it can be fun to do leftovers.ReplyDeleteReplies
Absolutely we do leftovers. My husband and daughter take leftovers in their lunches and whatever is truly leftover is consumed on the weekends. Nothing gets wasted. :)Delete
I have never seen YOYO - but I love it! Stealing!ReplyDeleteReplies
Steal away Ms. Ronda! :)Delete
I love my crock pot. It's a lifesaver so often when we're busy, especially when we're working opposite shifts. Hope the packing/unpacking goes well!ReplyDeleteReplies
I feel the same way Ms. Helen - love the crock pot. Thank you for the well wishes. :)Delete
Nicoise salad, haven't had that in forever, putting it on the menu soon...but not Thursday, that seems to be our YOYO night every week!ReplyDeleteReplies

Spice blend recipe kits FAQ's
We hope you find these FAQ's helpful but please get in touch if you have further questions.
How many servings will you get per 25g bag?
We aim to give value for money, therefore our 25g bags will give at least a family of 4 serving. Some will give more than that depending on your serving sizes. The 25g bags are a great way to get into our products, whilst ensuring you get the freshest spices.
What makes our blends different?
We make our blends from scratch. We toast seeds lightly to bring out the full flavour of the spices and ground to form aromatic blends. There are no additives or preservatives in our blends. Our focus is on providing fresh spices, healthy recipes and unique flavours to help you plan your weeks food.
We use our blends in many different ways for instance, our jerk blend goes great on salmon.
Most spices from supermarkets have additives that are not natural. They are there to create a different flavour or make sure they last a longer. Supermarket spices take several months to reach the shelf due to mass production. For a ground spice this means most of the potency has decreased greatly. They are best during the first 3-6 months to ensure full flavour and any health benefits.
We grind our spices regularly to ensure customers get a really fresh product.
You can find a recipe for each of our blends on the site. Our recipes are easy with only a few fresh ingredients to create really tasty meals.
All the recipes are printer friendly. Recipes are found at https://freshlyspiced.co.uk/category/recipes/
We aim to despatch all orders within 1 working day. Therefore, delivery should take between 2-3 days, often quicker.
Our Products
We produce all our blends on site to a very high standard. We do have a few products containing brown sugar. Small lumps of sugar will occur. Simply mix the spice well before using. As stated we do not add any additives to prevent things like this, these are all natural.
Our focus is on drying spices, toasting and grinding. We stick with certain suppliers so we can monitor the whole spice traceability. We focus on using suppliers that match our quality and focus spices so we can keep our standards high.

Dynavoice Defintion loudspeakers we have raised the bar higher than
ever. The sound, design and finish suit the most discerning listener.
Definition DX-5 is the surround speaker constructed to fit in the room really smoothly. But not only this, it is equipped with a really good combination of speaker. The tweeter and bass/midrange is the same as in the center and floor standing speakers DF-5 and DF-6 in order to achieve a perfect timbre match. DX-5 can also manage alone as music mediator, but works best together whit a subwoofer that helps in the bottom fervencies. In a home theater system, it is simply a real awesome surround speaker.
When the Definition Series was under construction, Dynavoice listen to the customers to provide what they have been missing in the speaker world. The result has been a very exclusive speaker, who also has a high sensitivity. Ribbon tweeter, 'bullet-proof'-kevlar woofers, x-change-terminal and painted baffle on 33 mm in front and rear are just some of the many features of the new series. This is simply a speaker that suits the most fastidious, at a price to suit everyone.
Perfect timbre matching
In order to achieve a perfect timbre match, all the speakers have to have exactly the same elements. It is very common to equip centers and satellites with smaller elements than in the front speakers just to save costs. In the Definition Series there is not saved anything, it′s exactly the same elements in all the speakers, making the sound match and the cinema experience will be perfect. The X-Change terminal is available on all speakers.
The treble
Definition is equipped with a highly unusual solution, two tweeters. This is mostly found very far up in price classes. The soft dome tweeter take care of the lower frequencies, as top tweeter Definition has taken one step further and provided the speaker with a ribbon tweeter. This provides a uniquely comfortable and natural sound. The frequency response remains dead straight at 20 kHz, it doesn′t drop. The big difference is noticeable when you pre-listen the speaker.
In order to reproduce the lowest frequencies the woofers are made in the 'bullet-proof'-kevlar, a thin, lightweight and strong membrane. This provides a solid, deep and clean bass. The chassis of cast aluminum contributes to a stable bass sound. Because of this, the speaker has not only a great hi-fi sound, but also high sensitivity.
|X-change - Flexible
Everyone has different sounds ideal. Definition is equipped with an X-change terminal. At the top of the terminals are three gold-plated connectors. These are used to fine-tune the critical midrange area as desired. Choose between -2 dB / 0 dB / +2 dB / +4 dB. Modification of connectors means that you change the speaker's character. Then you do not have to adjust the bass / treble controls on the amp to get the sound you want.

Soil development and fertility characteristics of a volcanic slope in Mindanao, the Philippines
Poudel, D.
West, L.
MetadataShow full item record
This study analyzes thirteen pedons from four geomorphic regions (alluvial terraces, lower footslopes, upper footslopes, mountains) to investigate the relationship between soil development and soil fertility properties. The mountain soils were Utisols and Inceptisols, while the soils of the other three regions were Oxisols. The study assessed the soil components, mineral composition, pH, phosphorus fixation, potassium availability and buffering capacity, cation exchange capacity (CEC), effective cation-exchange capacity (ECEC), and base saturation.

Raising capital can be a thriller. Reality beats fiction hands down.
This is the riveting account of my company's first round of seed capital financing. The true identities of parties involved have been withheld.
I founded ParisSharing in early 2010 with a pocket's worth of personal capital. Its survival in 2012 would be compromised without an inflow of seed capital. The goal is not to survive, but to grow. The ambitious business plan bet on a bound from a meager first year of 20k€ in sales to 4.5 million € within five years. Ambitious business plans are the only ones that attract investors. Who wants to risk money on half-hearted hopes? The paradox of this of course is that business plans are systematically over-optimistic.
With my principal associate who joined me in 2011, we began efforts in May to meet a target of 300k€ in seed capital by the end of the year. Still too small to interest VCs, and not sufficiently technological or innovative to interest most business angels, we started off by inviting our personal network of professionals to a kick-off event. Our goals was to convince ten persons to invest 10k€, five to invest 20k€, and one to invest 100k€. We held the event in an art gallery on May 19th and served up the finest champagne for the occasion. Our presentation generated interest, but no one left a check that evening.
The subscription period was set to last until December 30th, but we hoped to wrap it up by September. The longer we had to wait for the money, the more we would have to delay our development plans, and the more our business plan would veer off course.
When September came around, we had only cashed in 18k€ out of the 300k€. The economy was reeling, with Europe in particular running the risk of a systemic crisis beginning with the Greek default. People with money to invest were having to digest massive loses on the stock market. Every one had the jitters, and making risky start-up investments was the last thing on most people's minds.
The best news came at the very end of that month. A CEO of a major media company ("Investor J") told us he was willing to invest 140k€, if and only if we met a target of at least 250k€ in total. We hoped that this would help us to attract investors who were reticent to make the first step.
The next two months were hectic, writing to just about everyone we could think of, including some of France's major serial investors. To little avail. By the time December came around, we had only a few more commitments, totaling 40k€ in all. Not only did it seem impossible to reach our 300k€ target, but we were on a course to lose the conditional 140k€ and our most promising investor and mentor (investor J).
On Dec. 6th, 9:30pm we present to a club of 40 Business Angels in 10 minutes, with 10 minutes of questions. We followup with a meeting four days later involving a handful of interested "angels", and receive confirmation on Dec. 19 for 20k€. Now we had made it to a total of 60k€, and were still lacking 50k€ to secure the funding from investor J.
Dec. 21st, 12:30pm. Investor J calls us from the airport. He is about to leave on vacation until Jan. 2nd, and wants to make his decision. His decision is a no go. Fair enough, because we hadn't yet met our minimum of matching funds. But not fair, because we still had 8 days left to find those funds. In fact, we were scheduled to make a presentation one hour later to a group of four potential investors. We manage to persuade investor J to differ his final decision until the next day, and suggest that he reduce the amount of his investment by 30% rather than pulling out all together.
Dec. 21st. 1:30pm, rue de la Boëtie. Presentation to a group of four potential investors (the fabulous four) who contacted us for the first time the day before. We were in a hurry to find investors, and they were in a hurry to find an investment before the end of the year (mainly for fiscal reasons), so we lost no time in organizing the meeting. Two hours after our meeting, we receive confirmation for an additional 100k€, if and only if we raise a minimum of 250k€.
Dec. 22nd. 7:00am. Conference call with investor J. We break the good news that we were at last able to find the matching funds. Investor J had not expected this last minute strike of luck, and had prepared to break the bad news that he would withdraw.
A satellite hovering somewhere over Siberia relayed the several seconds of silence between him (in Cambodia), and ourselves in Paris. The future of the company was hinged upon what he would tell us in the next few minutes.
Investor J: "I've decided to invest 70k€, if and only if your latest investors (the fabulous four) confirm their 100k€. At this stage, this will be my only offer. I hope to do more for your next round of financing."
And there we were, at the climax of a crisis of cooperation and at the verge of collapse. When A requires B, and B requires A, where is the way out? If that question could be answered in a general way, our world's problems could be solved.
Dec. 25th. Anxious Christmas.
Dec. 26th, 2pm. We call up the fabulous four and explain the situation. They had already made arrangements with their bank, because the funds had to be cleared without delay. The fabulous four were frankly discontent. However, rather than pulling out, they agreed to put in an additional 20k€ in exchange for special privileges at the next investment round. We now had 240k€ secured.
Dec. 27th. We were still short by 10k€. We contacted several minority investors and offered them the chance to chip in a bit more.
Dec. 30th. Confirmation from the bank that we had indeed reached our minimum of 250k€.
Jan. 2nd, 2012. Work begins!
It is never too late until the very end.
Nothing is impossible.
At the most critical of all moments, our capacity to save the day is at its greatest.

Body found near The Moorings could be St John resident Richard Benson
Persons had made the suggestion on the basis that Benson was missing in the USVI and the description given by police matched his'.
And Benson's ex-wife, Linda Worthington, has since set up a GoFundMe page where she announced his death.
Worthington wrote on the GoFundMe page last week that her ex-husband had been missing from St John since the Category 5 Hurricane Irma, and his body has been found in the [British] Virgin Islands.
'Red tape'
"The family needs help in travel expenses to get to St John to make his final arrangements. Richard's body was found in the British Virgin Islands and we have a ton of red tape and paperwork to complete before we can even transfer him back to US soil. I am Richard's ex-wife and I am helping our son, Daniel and his sisters with this horrific job."
Worthington also wrote that it is his family's wish that his remains be cremated and his ashes returned to the sea that he loved so dearly. "Please find it in your hearts to help his children to lay his soul to rest. His sailboat, the Goddess Athena, remains missing."
The post; however, did not say when Benson was found or where, specifically, he was located.
Our newsroom made contact with the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) on October 3, 2017 but was told that the body was yet to be identified.
Benson was a seasoned seaman & mentor
And according to the Virgin Islands Daily News, Facebook tributes to Benson described him as a seasoned seaman and mentor to younger sailors who was beloved by fellow St Johnians and the tourists who chartered trips with him.
Benson's family is crowdfunding because "the family needs help in travel expenses to get to St John to make his final arrangements," according to Worthington's post. His remains will be cremated and his ashes "returned to the sea that he loved so dearly."
As of Friday evening, the page had collected $11, 275 of a $20,000 goal since it had been uploaded five days ago, and Worthington wrote that any money not used for family expenses will go to St John recovery efforts.
Posts on Facebook indicated that Benson may have been trying to sail south to escape Irma, but wasn't able to beat the storm.

Lori (07/10/2017, 00:51) Like (0) Dislike (0) ReplyI have looked to this site for updates regarding my favorite place, St. John. Tonight, however, I am completely disappointed in this article. Many of us watched and searched for news on Captain Benson. I researched and found your article of the "still yet unidentified man" you posted. I shared it with Linda Worthington in hopes it wasn't him but if it was, there could be closure. I also researched airfare before I donated to her. Anywhere from $1000 to $2000 and more. I have spoken to her and listened to her anguish and desperation that his son wouldn't have to go identity his Dad alone. So how do you do it? Fly in to an Island that was destroyed? Swim? No, you contact the people that help you identify him and then secure airfare when you think you can get in there and make necessary arrangements. When she gets there, and his family, I sure hope there is a little more compassion than this. There are a lot of missing facts here. So sorry for his family.

Peter and the Secret of Rundoon, by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson
This book was a difficult one to rate. Ultimately, it was more exciting and action-packed than either of its predacessors. Unfortunately, even well-written action and adventure cannot compensate for a poor story, and in spite of a fast pace and some magnificent set-pieces, it was simply not as good.
There are some books that fall apart on one terrible issue that the author cannot get his head around: a devastatingly anticlimactic ending, or a limp and flat character inexplicably placed in the centre of everything. But Peter and the Secret of Rundoon dies a death of a thousand pinpricks. Popped seams and stretched plausibility from the earlier books — repairable mistakes left for a moment too long — combine to create an ultimately negative impression. Errors that ought to have been corrected by now, by a competent editor at least–or by an excellent writer–finally come of age and somewhat capsize this venture.
"The figure stepped into the torchlight. Again Molly fought back a scream. A long black moustache slashed across a familiar hatchet-thin face.
-Peter and the Secret of Rundoon
Molly has always been rather desperately pushed forward by the authors as a strong female character, usually comedically contrasted with Tinkerbell's jealous sniping and grousing. She has never been a tiresome nag or a helpless idiot, but the feeling has always hung heavy that Tinkerbell is actually right, and that all of the jokes have contained a serious edge. Molly has several very uncomfortable and grown-up fights with several of the characters at a couple of different points, and this does an enormous amount of damage to the painstakingly cultivated character that Barry and Pearson nurtured over two other books.
The decision is finally made for the ghastly and mysterious Lord Ombra to come clean about his origins and his goals: which ultimately proves to be a disastrous choice. There is a bleak and surprisingly atheistic rant that comes out of nowhere, and the villains become considerably more prosaic and less impressive as a result. Indeed, the story loses much of the magic and fairytale beauty that it had managed to create in a surprisingly short time. Coupled with some bewilderingly anachronistic inventions that are shoehorned into the story seemingly to lazily patch plot holes, and any reader might be forgiven for wondering if the burst of enthusiasm with which this series began, has…run out of pixie dust?
Atatürk, by Andrew Mango
Andrew Mango announces his rules clearly in beginning this book with a brusque and stern explanation of the Turkish grammar he intends on using, a hard rebuke towards prevailing racist western attitudes towards Turkey, and a firm reminder of his credentials as an historian who has searched exhaustively through sources Turkish and English for what, the subtext thunders, is a comprehensive, definitive, and especially serious biography.
This forbidding introduction then unfolds surprisingly into a spellbinding and rich tableau, and a deliciously-rendered summary of Turkish and European history ancient and modern; often straying, frequently magniloquent, always utterly and devastatingly pertinent. It is genuinely surprising how well Mango manages his charge: Atatürk bears all the hallmarks of a stiff and fatally padded book, wherein an author seeks to prove his mettle by including every anecdote, chasing down every family tree, dwelling on the minutiae of every source he can be sure nobody else has included in their biography. To borrow a phrase, this is indeed a loose and baggy monster, and while it would be difficult to claim that any particular event or period in a man's life is irrelevant in the discovery of the whole, there are chapters that drag endlessly and which might have been truncated, particularly in Mustafa Kemal's early life.
"Atatürk earned his place in history by directing the successful resistance of the Muslim inhabitants of Anatolia against the occupation and attempted partition of their country. Many others took part in the preparation, planning and execution of the struggle. But from the moment he was chosen chairman of the Erzurum congress in 1919 to the time when the victory of the Turkish resistance received international recognition at Lausanne in 1923, he was in charge of the forces of Turkish nationalism."
Of all the books to compare this to, it might well be compared to Tolkien, but with a keener sense of purpose. The quality of the writing is impossible to condemn, but the grinding thoroughness with which Mango attends to each scene in the theatre of Kemalism is impressive, to say the least. As churlish as it is to say, there are moments when readers will grow relieved that Kemal's life was not another twenty years longer.
It is difficult for a reader unaccustomed to Turkish history to manage the unfamiliar names littered prolifically through Mango's history; particularly seeing that so many of the principle characters share titles or given names in common. The author's parenthetical use of the surnames that Atatürk introduced late in his reign is a confusing anachronism that aids identification at the expense of interrupting the lucidity of the writing.
Any good historical text ought to be judged not only on its readability, but on its voice. Andrew Mango's history is peculiar, in that he comes across as an unabashed Turkophile, but without a great deal of antipathy or admiration for any particular faction of the nascent Turkish Republic. Thus, he has no sympathy at all for the Kurds, British, or French; and treats the Greeks with something approaching open hostility. At the same time, it is difficult to tell whether or not he truly approved of the methods Atatürk used in silencing Kâzım Karabekir, or what he thought of the Young Turks. He does not even reveal whether he is a believer in Kemalism until the final chapter, Aftermath, which is a brilliantly insightful essay on the entirety of Atatürk's life and government, and on Turkey through the Twentieth Century.
There are shorter books and easier books, and probably many which would confer similar benefits to Mango's biography. But it is truly a joy to be in the hands of an author that the reader can trust, and then forgive for the length of the road and a handful of inconveniences along it. In delving into the recent history of Turkey, why start anywhere else?

1. MESF would publish via this website
(after its development) the seismological achievements
carried out on the Middle Eastern Region, in an effort to
bring together interested researchers from all over the
world. This Cyber Journal, or Bulletin, will serve the
scientific communities in the region and help disseminate
the academic and intellectual contributions of scientists in
the region to a much wider appreciative scientific
2. MESF would provide a focal point for
seismologists from various universities and research centres
in the region, to be acquainted of the scientific
contributions of fellow scientists, exchange ideas and data
and explore avenues of cooperation on the regional and
international scopes.
3. MESF would start to develop a data
bank for seismologists and other scientists and researchers
in the Region, who would be point of contact (corresponding
members) for their region or research trend or both.
4. MESF will work to compile a bibliography on
the seismicity, geodynamics and other pertinent geophysical
and geological data published in national and regional
journals (probably not in English) to ensure their
international accessibility.
5. MESF will disseminate announcements
of international, regional and national conferences,
meetings, workshops ..etc. in the region, to promote wider
participation through attendance and/or submissions of
papers and proceedings and publications distribution.
6. MESF would also contribute to the
ongoing trend of popularizing seismology for the younger
generations in the region; to propose tools to improve and
develop curricula and model texts for that objective.

Beautiful Blockchain Book is a Collector's Dream
In case you missed it, "Chasing Casascius" is a new photo book that uses bitcoin and blockchain lore in its story and product launch, and is selling out fast!
Press Release
In case you missed it, "Chasing Casascius" is a new photo book that uses bitcoin and blockchain lore in its story and product launch, and is selling out fast!
Amidst all of the drama in the bitcoin world and the theoretical use cases for merchants and financial institutations, "Chasing Casascius" shakes things up with a book launch that actually leverages the blockchain.
It is a story about a lone Block Explorer seeking out 'orphaned physical bitcoin blocks' to sync with the blockchain network. The beauty comes from the exotic locales, photo actress, and use of a Casascius Gold Plated Bar as a representation of an orphaned bitcoin block.
Casascius Gold Plated Bars are rare physical bitcoins created by Mike Caldwell. Purchasers of the book are entered into a third party raffle for the gold plated bar.
On the technical side, the book is available for payment in bitcoin via Stripe, and recipients will also receive a corresponding Counterparty asset, allowing them to track their ownership of the book on bitcoin's blockchain.
According to the website, purchases are contributing to charity by proxy, as they intend to donate a portion of proceeds to charities that accept bitcoin.
The project vision is to be "The gold standard in the closed loop cryptocurrency economy" showing that the intention is to release a product in bitcoin, and distribute the proceeds in bitcoin, with a portion going to charities that accept bitcoin.
It is an ambitious project and carries a premium coming in at 0.22 BTC at time of writing. The initial launch is open until the halving, with supplies limited, and we expect this book to be in the lobby of every fintech consortium member!

East Jackson To Face Chestatee In Scrimmage Game Thursday
With almost two weeks of official practice under their belts, the East Jackson Eagles are getting geared up for their season opener, which is now just over two weeks away.
The Eagles will travel to Chestatee Thursday night to face the Chestatee War Eagles in a scrimmage.
It should give the East Jackson coaches a good idea of where they stand with 14 days left before the season kickoff.
For more on this story, read Wednesday's edition of The Commerce News.

Your resolve and eagerness to solve all her problems.
When she comes to you crying and telling you that her colleagues were rude to her all day, she had a fight with her friend or she tore her dress you shouldn't start threatening her colleagues, trying to make peace between her and her friends. And please don't even attempt to sew her dress up.
Your vigorous scrupulousness and being obsessed with putting things in order.
Women would love to see her clothes wrapped in the wardrobe in case she put them there herself and if you are trying to help, you had better go take out the trash. It's much better if you don't sort her personal hygiene items out in the bathroom putting them in a straight row as well.

I was just mesmerized by the monumental naivete and hubris of the remote BIOS update security concept put forward by the OLPC crew.
CRAK Software broke the Quicken and Quickbooks password protection within a few nanoseconds in spite of its 3DES password protection scheme.
Oh they didn't break 3DES...didn't have to...
They just found the one bit in the code that Intuit used to specify whether or not the password presented by the user was good or was bad. They made any password always look good! They changed one bit!
So like breaking into a bank having a 100 ton steel vault front door the bad guys got in by breaking the glass on the sliding glass door in the back.
And so will some hacker who manages to set the write enable bit without permission...
Sigh...will they ever learn...
OK, then lets ask some of the school kids to do class projects making reports on how well diggers and well cleaners do their work.
1. More folks can learn how to get clean water.
2. Kids can learn how to make good reports.
3. Kids can help their communities improve.
4. Everybody can be empowered to help.
5. More folks will be ready to tackle next month's problems.
When your gadget is stolen, you login to the GadgetTheft web site and turn on tracking for that device (you can set up several devices in one account). The next time your gadget is plugged in, GadgetTheft will attempt to recover the computer's IP address, location, Windows username, and computer name, among a few other tidbits. This information won't necessarily be enough to hunt down your iPod, but it's worth a try (people sometimes use surprisingly identifying usernames).GadgetTheft currently only works on Windows computers and requires the thief to fall an autorun trick that asks users to install a USB driver whenever the USB device is plugged in. Technically, then, GadgetTheft can be considered spyware - though it's a spyware designed to actually work for you, in this case.

Would not anyone - forced to choose - trade a laptop for clean water?
Water supply itself is a complex societal/ technological subject, no less so than education/computer/ communications. Why is it that we seem to be prone to immerse ourselves in the one and ignore the other?
True, all are countries needing to have basic health needs, etc. met to varying degrees but they also countries where young people are just as smart and eager to learn and apply the benefits of technology (even to play computer games as my sons, who actually were born, if not raised by the average standards, in some of these countries).
Can you imagine what it might be like for someone, kid or otherwise, to have eventually access to books from libraries of the world via a laptop when it was often difficult for them to just have access to a textbook of their own...not having to copy a summary of one written on a blackboard by their teacher.
The OLPC generation in these countries may help more than others to move their countries notably forward, perhaps demanding a bit more for their lives and communicating a bit better with their governments.]]>
In addition to the other responses, the other comment that I've heard from people who have actually done fieldwork to in the places where OLPCs are being planned is that whilst watching the western news gives you the impression that everywhere is either doing very well or facing starvation, there are actually a _lot_ of places in Africa and the far east where where immediate needs like food and water are met by local crops, etc, but there's not remotely the kind of school structure to provide children with textbooks even when they're at school, let alone take-home for further study. (I.e., people aren't in immediate life-threatening physical deprivation but don't have a chance of progression beyond that on their own.) I don't know about you, but I doubt I'd have learned to read or write competently if I hadn't actually virtually any stuff to read. My understanding is that part of the aim is to make economic savings by moving most physical textbooks to electronic books.]]>
Anonymous has it exactly right. People have more than one need. We can give people clean water and they'll drink for a day; we can teach them how to get clean water and they'll have it for the rest of their lives; we can give them the tools to learn and distribute that learning and if things go well, they and their descendents and everyone they know will have clean water.
I've worked with a different (unrelated to the OLPC guys) organization, helping to put in wireless networking in a rural third-world community. The organization has been working with the community for decades: water, schools, electricity, sponsoring people to learn medicine. And now it was time to improve communications, so we started working with wifi. The internet may be mostly a play-toy to you, but it can be much more than that. If you're a farmer, it can bring weather information and help you find markets for your goods. If you're sick, it can help you find how to heal yourself. If you have any problem, it lets you draw on the accumulated experience of the rest of the planet.]]>
Sorry, not convinced. Dare I say: a geeky idea - with merit, or course - that will end up enriching industries and politicians while children's real needs for health care and schooling go on being neglected.
Clearly no one went to Africa and asked parents which they'd prefer for their kids.
And, yes, we could do both. But let's get the priorities straight and not get lost in fascination with our own technical ingenuity..
Clean water is a short-term essential need.
Education is a long-term essential need.
We've tried meeting the short-term needs for dacades now.
Let's try meeting the long-term needs.]]>
The technical answer is that it would be too dim to notice, except perhaps at night or in a darkened room, and possibly only via peripheral vision. I'm figuring one shot per sec, so the LED is operating with a 1/60 duty cycle.
However, there may be hardware driving the LED that stretches pulses, to intentionally make it visible regardless of duty cycle.
I haven't seen any circuit schematics, so I'm reserving judgement on whether an observer could actually see the LED illuminate under such circumstances.
Even low-cost LEDs are more than fast enough to switch at such rates. And in peripheral vision, many people can see "flickering" that doesn't appear when looking directly at a light.
If it were an incandescent light, 1/60 sec would be invisible, except maybe to a long-IR camera.]]>
My impression from the docs is that the kids will have full control over their system permissions, if they can figure them out -- they'll be able to even rewrite the BIOS.
The government exemption is for permissions. They can set the camera permission on, without requiring any user intervention at installation; they can even set conflicting permissions at installation which would usually require user intervention.
But the camera permission itself requires user intervention every time the camera is activated. Of course, since the govt code can start with all permissions activated, it could do rewriting of the permission system itself -- but that's not limited to the camera.
I don't see a way around that, for an actually functioning program. The administrator of the system, are going to need root access on every machine, being that the users are 5-10 years old. If the kids want strong privacy, their going to have to be smart enough to take it -- it definitely seems build for that.]]>
Yes, I did not miss that, and my point was building onto this, actually. I will reiterate:
1 - The user prompt, AFAICT, is *not* performed if the software that tries to enable the mic and/or cam is signed by a "trusted" party (eg, government).
2 - The LED comes on whenever these are on, leading the spec to say that, therefore, the potential for abuse is low (as the user would presumably notice the LEDs being on and smell a rat)
3 - I will discount all the possibilities that one will not always be sitting with the laptop where one can see the LEDs easily.
4 - my point was the following: I wonder if software signed by the government (which therefore was able to request the permission to use the cam at install time without the user having a say - I am unsure if the user can *remove* that permission without the software being able to forbid such a removal) may turn on the camera (without a user prompt, since it is signed by a "trusted" party) for a very short amount of time (eg, snapping just one frame) and turn it off again, such that the LED will come on, but for so short a time that unless you are peering it in the eye, you won't notice.
Essentially, my point was about hardware hysteresis. Would a LED actually visibly light up if it was powered for 1/60th of a second, say.
It probably wouldn't work for audio, but for video it would be very much enough for eavesdropping.
The authors specifically point out in the specs that the flash does not encrypt, or use any protection to guarantee the authentication of the user. They plan on adding an option for password protection and file by file encryption, possibly for the second generations. But most of the users have little need for heroic measures; they mostly need to avoid a worm dumping all the family photos, or their neighbor hacking into their machine and stealing their homework. And anyway, many users won't be able to use any significant password --- they're five or six years old, for God's sake.
If the machine itself is physically compromised by the kid next door, the solution is going to have to be the same for every generation; hit him in the back when he's not looking, and taunt him while he's on the ground crying.
Good security is customized to the needs of the client, not some mythical perfection. The complaints sound to me like a company that decides to protect everything by randomly generated 30 character passwords, fobs and biometrics; then the employees tie the fobs to computers and put the password on a sticky note next to the fob.]]>
There seems to be at least as many really stupid "security people" out there as well - lets hope they chose wisely ...
Yes. That's covered in the Bifrost spec. It *also* needs confirmation to turn it on each time, and the confirmation is only good for a limited time, and software is only allowed to even ask if at install time it was granted that privilege.
Crypto-signed software may be able to override the software protections if it has a signature saying it can - and the local government can crypto-sign the software to do that - but the LED is supposed to be done in hardware and so the local government would have to make actual hardware modifications in order to be able to turn the laptops into secret listening devices.]]>
The specification lays out nicely all the nitty-gritty details of how the system can authenticate itself to the outside. I ask you: how do you know that the user running the system that's doing the authentication is the authorized to do so?]]>
I was not.
It's okay; there are lots of smart security people out there.]]>
The business plan of the entire thing is depressingly familiar:
1. Provide governments with another touchy-feely reason to tax their people.
2. Convince bureaucrats to part with some of the loot.
3. ?
4. Profit. Er, Peace on Earth. Er... Whatever.
I take it then, Bruce, from your lack of disclaimer, that you weren't one of the reviewers.]]>
Generally, a nice idea - automated backups. However, the overall design (no passwords, etc.) seems to imply that this information will all be stored in the clear. That means the centralized repository can be regularly scanned by any party with access. Thus, this might not be the best "secure email" platform.
Maybe if they added functionality to allow for encrypted directories (or "drives", ala TrueCrypt), and ensured that the swap partition was always scrambled with a boot-specific randomized key...
I haven't delved into the full spec of the project, so maybe they don't intend to provide this type of data-security. But it seems like they're putting a lot of thought into security in general, to miss this issue.]]>
Now, maybe it was a condition imposed by the countries so they would consider bulk buying, but it sounds too much like a good idea killed by a simple change.
Also, the "school servers" are an obvious point of attack, since subverting one pretty much automatically pwns all laptops it keeps under its wing, so to speak. Are these servers normal PCs ? I didn't see anything about these in the spec (though I didn't look at other documents), but there was this statement that they were aware of this and considered it a reasonable tradeoff. Hmmm...
Kind of related to the previous point anyway. A good idea that's got such a back door you wouldn't be able to miss it if you wanted to.
The idea's interesting anyway.
Also, about the reliance on the LEDs for mic/cam: I was wondering if it'd be possible to enable the cam for just one frame every few seconds or so - would the LED have time to "pop on", or would it effectively stay off due to the very short amount of time it was powered on ?
Coupled with the "govt can do anything" bypassing scheme, I found this scary.
Though with a dev key, you can rewrite this part of the kernel and/or BIOS. Probably.
Much easier for the govt to keep track of who has a dev key than tens of millions of laptops anyway.
Good point, but our major security problems have nothing to do with technology; they're all about applying technology. I think a fresh approach with existing technology on a completely new platform will result in some surprises.]]>
This is good because the "mental shift" that Mr. Krstić started with -- moving from "security by not running bad code" to "security *while* running bad code" is one of the important points of divergence between capability access control theory and mainstream access control theory for the last 30 years.
(Mr. Krstić explicitly credits many of the early capability systems for inspiring his work.)]]>
And why is this security for children ? the whole thing smaks of of some UNO infected brain .. or may be someone trying to submitting an SBIR grant for "no child left behind -- without a laptop"
You can't design tomorrow's security with yesterdays technology, in this case yesteryears.
Bruce you have to point out the gem in the heap of shxx .. i fail to see it.
"`I fear there is something I missed,' [Krstic] said."
Yes, and it's being discussed on Techdirt:
Lot of good discussion and informative replies from Ivan.]]>
I hope that proprietary softwares will never be usable on these laptops so children may learn via a better solutions than MS products and associates.]]>

Subscribe To GTA 5 PC Mod Gives You Super Strength And Speed Updates
I've already subscribed
If you're looking for a new superhero game, GTA 5 might be your best bet. One of the earliest mods for the game's PC version allows you to give your characters super speed and strength.
The creator of the mod, Lingon, released a trailer showing off the super strength option. It allows you to punch vehicles so hard that they're thrown hundreds of feet down the road:
Cooljunkgaming released an even better showcase of this super-punch. He used his thrown cars like bowling bars to take out entire traffic jams or squads of cop cars all at once. The video has some slow-mo replays as well so you can see all the little visual details, like a car door splitting off one of the vehicles and clotheslining a nearby cop.
This mod really makes great use of the game's ragdoll physics and vehicle destruction. I doubt punching a car through an intersection will ever get old.
The super speed feature for the mod is a little less impressive. Yes, you can run really fast but it doesn't seem to be affecting the aim of NPCs too much. It makes finding cars to punch easier though so I can't really complain:
You can download Lingon's trainer program here. If you're feeling lazy but still want to break the game, use the official cheat codes instead.

High Attendance Sundays
Every Sunday, we assemble at FBC Pelham in order to stimulate one another to love and good works. Included in that is the efforts by the pastor and teachers, to edify the congregation for the work of service, via preaching and teaching the Word of God. And that's not the best work, in my mind.
That's worshiping the God Who spoke the universe into existence. Adoring our creator and His Son. Letting the Holy Spirit refresh our souls, to prepare us for a closer walk with God.
Loving the brethren. Fellowshipping and showing that love. Making our lives available for others.
But then, churches also have "High Attendance Sunday", in which awards are given for highest percentage attendance, etc. It is that "promotion" in which I will not participate. See, in my alleged mind, the reasons I stated that we assemble on Sundays are all Biblical, and are the highest reasons I can imagine for the assembly. To do anything that indicates that the 3rd Sunday or whatever of such-and-such a month, we'll have a special reason for attending, is demeaning the reasons God sets forth, and in my mind, demeaning to God.
I told the SS class I taught for some years that, if we somehow had so many people show up on a Sunday that we won some sort of award, certificate, or plaque, that one of the members would have to go get it, if they wanted it. I didn't want any part of it.
I don't mind that churches do that. I'm not on the Church Activity Appropriateness Commission. Just don't ask me to be involved, please.
I won't.

Transmissions: Archiving HIV/AIDS - Melbourne 1979-2014
George Paton Gallery
Level 2, Student Union Building, University of Melbourne
Further Details
Transmissions is an exhibition of manuscripts, posters and other material from private collections and public archives. It will examine the nexus between government, policy makers, health professionals, and Melbourne's gay community. Highlighting the role of design in the success and failure of the health promotion campaigns that have emerged from these partnerships, Transmissions will also articulate how design helped to brand political activism throughout the epidemic.
The exhibition will focus on key events through primary source material drawn from the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives, The University of Melbourne Archives, and other public and private collections. This material vividly evokes the history of the epidemic in Melbourne, and a major outcome of the exhibition will be to promote the rich holdings of these collections.
As Melbourne has been the site of significant cultural responses to the epidemic, the exhibition will present a unique opportunity to revisit some of the works shown in major exhibitions about HIV/AIDS held between 1989 and 1994.
Transmissions will present works by Juan Davila, Andrew Foster, Brent Harris, Mathew Jones, Peter Lyssiotis, Lex Middleton, Andi Nellssun, Scott Redford, Ross T Smith, Marcus Bunyan and Marcus O'Donnell.
Although Australia has implemented one the world's most successful HIV/AIDS prevention campaigns, the exhibition and conference coincide with a twenty-year high in infections rates. Current health promotion campaigns have become increasingly sophisticated to be able to reach a younger generation, and Transmissions will investigate several of these campaigns.
A publication and a comprehensive public program will accompany the exhibition.
This exhibition is co-curated by Michael Graf and Russell Walsh.
Opening hours:
- 12pm-6pm Monday to Friday
- 2pm-5pm Saturday
- The exhibition will be open until 9pm on 23 July as part of the Nite Art Walk
A publication and a comprehensive public program will accompany the exhibition.
This exhibition is co-curated by Michael Graf and Russell Walsh.

Apple introduces smaller iPod, partners with Motorola
- 07 September, 2005 22:00
After months of frenzied speculation, Apple Computer has unveiled an ultra-thin iPod about half the size of its iPod mini as well as a mobile phone built by Motorola Inc. that features the iTunes music player software. Apple's new iPod nano will feature 4G bytes of capacity for US$249 in a device that is thinner than a #2 pencil, said Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive officer at a jam-packed media event at San Francisco's Moscone Center.
The iPod nano is 80 percent smaller than Apple's original iPod and 62 percent smaller than the iPod mini, Jobs said. It weighs 1.5 ounces (42 grams) and comes with a color screen. The device is available in some stores as of Wednesday, and stores around the world expected to have the device by the end of the week, he said. Apple will also sell an iPod nano with 2GB of capacity for US$199.
"This is one of the most amazing products Apple has ever created," Jobs said.
The Cupertino, California company also unveiled the Motorola Rokr (pronounced "rocker"). This is a GSM/GPRS (Global System for Mobile Communications/General Packet Radio Service) phone that features a button that allows direct access to the iTunes player. Cingular Wireless LLC will be the exclusive North American carrier for the phone, which is expected to be available in stores this weekend, Jobs said.
Cingular plans to charge $249 for the Rokr at its stores in the U.S, Apple and Cingular said in a release. The phone comes with stereo headphones and a USB cable that is required to get songs from a PC or Mac to the phone. The phone shows up like an iPod in the iTunes music player allowing songs to be dragged to the phone's icon from an iTunes playlist, Jobs said.
Analysts and the famously loyal Apple fan base had worked themselves into a fever pitch debating the subject of Wednesday's event since Apple sent out an invitation last week. But Apple and Motorola have been discussing the development of an iTunes phone for more than a year, and Motorola's Chief Executive Officer Ed Zander promised analysts in July the phone was on the way.
Apple needs to continuously expand its distribution model if it wants to stay on top of the digital music market, said Stephen Baker, director of research at NPD Techworld in Reston, Virginia. The Rokr will show whether Apple can take iTunes to devices other than the extremely popular iPod music players, and mobile phones are a natural place to start, he said.
"Cell phones are the most ubiquitous electronic device on the planet. Given the volume of the cell phone business, the distribution imperatives say you have to have a deal there," Baker said.
Even if the user experience on Rokr is not as good as the one provided by an iPod, as long as it is sufficient, users should embrace the combination of a music player and a phone, Baker said.
"Do you get a better experience with a camera phone [than with a digital camera]? No," Baker said. This hasn't stopped phone users from embracing camera-equipped mobile phones, he said.
Some analysts and Mac users had speculated the iTunes phone might allow over-the-air downloads of songs, but digital music lovers, at least in the U.S., aren't quite ready for that yet, said Mike McGuire, a research director at Gartner Inc.
"When it comes to online media, we're a very PC-centric culture," McGuire said. It's just easier for Apple and the industry to convince users to move their PC-based songs to a mobile device, rather than trying to introduce a whole new way of acquiring digital music, he said.
And if Apple didn't release an iTunes phone, a competitor would have surely attempted to erode Apple's dominance of the music player market with a similar device, said Roger Kay, president of Endpoint Technologies Associates Inc. in Wayland, Massachusetts.
The iPod nano will help keep the iPod lineup fresh heading into the fourth-quarter holiday season, Kay said. It helps erase some of the concerns that active iPod users might have had about jostling their hard drive-based iPods by using flash memory, which is more stable than a hard drive because of the lack of moving parts, he said. -- IDG News Service

Istria for gourmets
The variety of Istrian cuisine comes from its rich history and the influences of foreign rulers, which are still to be found in numerous dishes. Elements of the Italian, European (Austria and Hungary) and Slavic are all represented in the Istrian kitchen. The north-western coast of Istria is rich in gastronmic delicacies: tasty mussels, the best sea-tongue from the Tarska Vala, delicious oysters from the Lim Fjord and the scampi from the bay of Kvarner. The centre of Istria offers traditional snails from Galizana, olive oil from Vodnjan and Tar, truffles from the valley of Mirna and the widely available wild mushrooms.
The Roman writers glorified not only the Istrian olive oil, but indeed the numerous wines of the Istrian peninsula. Wondrous powers were assigned to the Vinum Pucinum, and the Roman empress Julia Augusta thought she owed her vitality and unusual old age to the same wine. The great adventurer and lover Giacomo Casanova wrote in his famous memoirs about the excellent Istrian REFOSCO. The Austria-Hungarian monarchy also valued the high quality of Istrian wine. In 1875 in Porec, the mighty empire opened one of the three largest agriculture-wine schools of its time. The narrow railway line that was built from Trieste to Porec in 1902 is still affectionatly referred to by the locals as the wine-track. The most famous wines are Malvazija, Teran, Merlot, Hrvatica, Borgonja as well as a half-dry yellow and red Muskat. You can try these numerous wines in the various restaurants and konobas, as well as with the winemakers along the wine routes.
Istria is a wonderful world in miniature; it is the largest peninsula of the Adriatic, lies below the Alps, and is encircled by the Adriatic sea. Looking at the geographic map of Croatia you will find Istria immediately. It is based in the western-most part of the country, encircled by the sea, and it has the shape of a heart. The small islands and cultivated fields that stretch to the sea and a beautiful sunset, where the sun seems to melt into the sea, will stir the passions and will help you to discover new emotions. The eastern part of the peninsula is made of limestone. Its coast is full of rocks and high, nearly inaccessible, cliffs which will astonish you, and from the tops of which you will see the yellow and gilded sun that illuminates the landscape and the sea in a crystalline colour. In the spring and summer the landscape is covered in intense green, and in the autumn it is transformed magically into the colours of yellow and red that make the hills appear as if on fire. After you have tasted the oil of the olive and the truffle, you cannot but enjoy these simple foods for their intense flavour. Istria is a land rich with millennium history. Here were once settled Histrians, Romans, Goths, Byzantines, Lombardies, and and in more recent ages also Venetians, the Napoleonic army and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. All of them have left indelible traces that have influenced not only the architecture but, above all, the culture of this world which always has been multiethnic and tolerant. Even today it is a land with many cultures and ethnic races, all living peacefully together.
Popular historical and natural attractions of Istria to visit are: the Eufrasian Basilica in Porec, from the sixth century, which in 1997 has been inscribed by UNESCO on the World Heritage List; the national park of Brijuni (Brioni) which consists of 14 islands and over the centuries has been a very popular holiday resort. The remains of some roman villas testify to the fact that many personalities from the XX century have chosen Brijuni for their vacation. The best known among these is surely the former President of Yugoslavia, Marshall Josip Broz Tito. The ancient city of Pula, today the economic centre of Istria, fascinates above all for its roman remains, still very well conserved, like the imposing amphitheatre, the beautiful August temple and many others. Fans of good food will find in Istria many restaurants and taverns, where tasteful local and regional specialties are served. Furthermore the region is known for its excellent wines, whose secret is jealously guarded in Istrian wine cellars. An, often recommended, wine from among many is Istrian Malvazia, a typical white wine from the region.
Young people who love the sun, the sea and entertainment, will surely not be disappointed, as all this is offered in the numerous tourist villages and in the holiday centres of Istria.
Although Istria is one of the well known Mediterranean regions for holidays, its inland areas are yet to be discovered. We are referring to "green Istria", with its green hills and small hilltop villages, the white cliffs, the forests, the limestone hollows, the small churches and the old medieval castles covered with ivy.
The holiday venue of Medulin is at the extreme south western coast of Istria and is one of the 20 best-known bathing resorts on the Adriatic. Medulin developed from an agricultural and fishing village to one of the most important holiday resorts in southern Istria. The coast is flat, sandy and fissured. The magnificent vegetation and the mild climate, like the archipelago with its 10 islands and a coastal phenomenon called "Primosten" or "Tombolo", makes Medulin an attractive and irresistible place. Tourism has been developed since the end of XIX century and Medulin was first placed into the Pula travel guide as a potential holiday location around the year 1889. The first regular customers came to Medulin at the same time as the establishment of the community in the year 1909. It has been appreciated above all for its uncontaminated nature and its healthy atmosphere. Every guest can find here an oasis of tranquillity in the pleasant and healthy atmosphere of the Adriatic Sea, one which is calm but at the same time has the dynamics for a lively vacation. The bay of Medulin is ideal for all kinds of water sports activities and outside of the water Medulin offers various activities for free time. The winter climate is very pleasant and mild.
Excursions available: Venice, Plitvice Lakes National Park, Brijuni National Park, canoe safari, "Fish Picnic" boat excursion, visit to the city of Pula, Istria tour, visit to the Postojna coves and the Lipizzaner stud farm in Slovenia.

Leave your legacy to CCNY
Help Yourself and the City College of New York
at the same time!
Planned gifts are gifts you make in the present that will benefit City College in the future. Planned gifts include bequests, charitable gift annuities, charitable trusts, life insurance policies and retirement plan assets.
IRA Giving
Through the end of 2013, IRA owners age 70½ and older may take advantage of the IRA charitable rollover provision. This provision allows U.S. individuals to make federally tax-free distributions of up to $100,000 from an IRA to qualified charitable organizations, such as The City College Fund. Charitable distributions from an IRA may be used to satisfy the annual required minimum distribution (RMD).
Details of the Provision:
• Donors must be age 70½ or older on the date of the distribution
• A maximum of $100,000 per year per taxpayer may be distributed to qualified charitable organizations such as the City College Fund (Couples with separate IRAs can each gift up to $100,000 per year)
• Distributions must be transmitted directly from your IRA's plan administrator to the City College Fund before the end of 2013
• Distributions to the City College Fund may be applied to satisfy required minimum distribution (RMD)
• Receipt from the City College Fund is required for a donor to substantiate a charitable IRA distribution
• Donors may not receive any personal benefit in exchange for the distribution
• Opportunity for IRAs only, it does not apply to other forms of retirement plans such as 401(k), 403(b)
• Because no income is reported on the donor's tax return, donors do not receive a charitable income tax deduction for the distribution
Making the Gift is Easy
Instruct your IRA manager to distribute funds directly to The City College Fund, 160 Convent Avenue, SH 166, New York, NY 10016
Questions? Please contact:
Ilene Miller
Annual Fund Manager
BEQUESTS (click here for confirmation)
You can leave a legacy to City College by simply adding a codicil to your existing will which designates a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate to The City College Fund.
Sample Testamentary Language. "I give (dollars) or (a specific asset, such as securities, real estate or other property) or (all) or (percent of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate) to the City College Fund in New York, New York (for its general purposes) or (for the following purpose:)."
While unrestricted gifts allow the City College Fund to allocate funds to areas of greatest need, you may designate your bequest for a particular purpose or use by a specific school, program or activity at CCNY. In order to ensure that the evolving educational needs of future generations of students are met, it is advisable to include the following language with restricted gifts:
If at any time in the judgment of the City College Fund it is impossible or impracticable to carry out exactly the designated purpose, the City College Fund shall determine an alternative purpose as near as possible to the designated purpose.
Many CCNY alumni express their desire to give back to City College in gratitude for the free/low cost education they received.
"I reached 65 and realized that it was time to give back to society." says Pat Hill '76MS. "I received an outstanding free education that gave me pride, a profession and sense of achievement."
Pat made an appointment with the City College Fund to discuss her ideas and learned about giving opportunities. The Fund staff worked with Pat to set up a scholarship in memory of her late husband. Additionally, she decided to name the City College Fund as a beneficiary in her will. When asked what motivates her, Pat answers "CCNY is like family to me."
Bequests by generous alumni and friends have been a significant source of financial support for City College students for many years and have helped create today's CCNY. Continuing this tradition will ensure a financially sound and academically strong College for tomorrow.
For many alumni, Charitable Gift Annuities (CGAs) are the perfect option. In exchange for your gift ($10,000 minimum), The City College Fund agrees to pay you a fixed annual sum. Your payments will remain the same regardless of fluctuations in the economy. Each time you receive your annuity payment, you will be reminded that your gift will benefit The City College Fund and help secure the future of The City College of New York as an institution of excellence in higher education.
How can a CGA work for you? Perhaps you have an investment such as a stock or an IRA that isn't performing well. You can use that investment to make a charitable gift, get a tax break, avoid capital gains taxes and create an income stream for life for you and/or your beneficiary.
At 86 years old, Maurice "Murray" Barbash '46 says he feels fortunate to be in good financial shape even in this uncertain economy. But his financial advisors cautioned him about old age and advised him to put something in reserve which would generate an income.
With this advice in mind, and grateful for the high quality college education he received at CCNY, Murray decided to fund a charitable gift annuity with the City College Fund. "It's a sound investment. The interest rates are fantastic and far better than I can receive through other savings accounts. I get an income that is almost 71% tax free and most important; I'm making an investment in my alma mater, the City College of New York," says Murray.
You may have a fully paid up life insurance policy that you no longer need to cover your children's education, your home mortgage or other expenses you anticipated earlier in your life. By donating your policy to The City College Fund, you may take an income tax deduction equivalent to its cash value. Donating a life insurance policy will give you the satisfaction of making a larger gift than you were able to during your lifetime.
If you are considering how to pass your estate to children and grandchildren without overwhelming estate taxes, consider a charitable lead trust. The income from a charitable lead trust goes to a charity, and the remainder, at the end of the trust, goes to your children or grandchildren.
Retirement accounts (or any assets subject to income tax, like U.S. Savings Bonds) are great choices for charitable bequests because they can be so heavily taxed in an estate. The transfer must be carefully planned, so be sure to talk to us or to your professional advisor
"Using my IRA disbursement was a judicious and painless way to make a gift to The City College Fund. By using the funds from my IRA, I was able to make a more substantial gift. The donated funds are not subject to federal income tax making it a win-win situation for both me and The City College Fund." Harold Shames '44
The Society of 1847 was created to honor those alumni and friends who make a planned gift to the City College. Members of the Society are invited to participate in the College's commencement exercises and will be the President's honored guests at special receptions for Society of 1847 members, college lectures, seminars and special events

TECH-D20 Design's Crème de la Crème: How Responsive Displays the Future
Travis Williams, Senior Architect, Avnet Services
Scott Martinez, Consultant, Avnet Services
Responsive is now the norm, and design is often mistakenly built around the display layer first, and the sales solutions often present software first. This presents a problem in that many users have a digital experience that is not responsive to their time and place, but instead only to their device. Rather than the technology being built around design that capitalizes on the data, it is instead restricted by the design approach itself. Responsive today has to look at the data layer first, and then scale out for the devices in parallel. Responsive capabilities must of course be built into the framework as a best practice, but to be exceptional it must be progressive; techniques should include using reusable code for layout and aspect changes that is software neutral, easily changed based on CSS, dependent on the device, and incorporate many location-based features. In this presentation we will not only confirm best practices for responsive design, but also demonstrate ways to implement a digital experience solution that is scalable and anticipates the future needs of its user, in their time and place. We will propose a set of best practices that help the business achieve exceptional experiential design that centers on the user, focuses on both data and the display layer, anticipates the user's needs, and can grow and change as time progresses.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Fulfillment (04/06/06)
- TITLE: Butter and Jelly Toast
By Garnet Miller
Sheila rubbed the sleep from her eyes as she searched his bedroom and the bathroom for her young son. Today was his eighth birthday and the first without his father. Jackson left them six months ago, saying that he had found someone else.
Sheila waited for the cover of nightfall to allow her sadness to soak her pillow with tears. She worried about Louie. His life had to stay as normal as possible.
Descending the stairs, Sheila checked each room until finally locating him in the kitchen. She hid just out of view and watched.
Louie dragged a chair from the table and positioned it in front of the counter. He climbed the chair, being careful not to tip it in the process. On bare tiptoes, he reached into the cabinet and retrieved a loaf of bread. He maintained a firm grasp on his find and settled his feet squarely back on the chair.
He stared at the ground. Sheila was puzzled by this. She came close to revealing her position when Louie decided to go airborne and flew off the chair in a flash. He doubled over with laughter.
Placing the bread on the kitchen table, he opened the twist tie. Louie carried four slices of bread over to the counter. As careful as before, he climbed onto the chair in front of the toaster. Louie dropped each slice in a slot. He pushed down the two white levers. Sheila covered her mouth to stifle her amazement. Louie was growing up.
He climbed off the chair backwards and walked over to the refrigerator. Louie disappeared behind the opened door. He reemerged carrying a tub of margarine. Visiting the refrigerator again, he delivered a jar of grape jelly to the table.
The smell of toasted bread wafted through the room. Louie stared at the toaster willing the bread to come out. As if on command, the toast popped up. Louie stacked them on the counter before picking them up. He decided to jump off the chair again and one of his slices landed on the floor. Sheila smiled. She was glad she took the time to mop the floor the previous night.
Louie blew on the fallen slice and proceeded to the table. Sheila kept the table set at all times because it looked nicer that way. Louie put the toast on a dinner plate. He picked up a knife and dug it into the tub of margarine. Sheila cringed with each stab. Giant hunks of margarine were carved out and dropped on each slice. The layer of margarine was almost as thick as the toast itself.
Louie took the same knife and dipped it into the jelly jar. His hand was still small enough to fit completely into the jar. The level of jelly was too low to reach successfully with the knife so he removed the sticky utensil and turned the jar upside down over the toast. Louie moved the jar from slice to slice as the globs of jelly oozed from the jar. Picking up the knife, he spread the jelly on top of the margarine.
He relaxed in the chair and picked up a piece of toast. Sinking his teeth into the tasty tidbit, Louie took his time chewing. He let out a sigh of satisfaction.
Sheila felt this was her cue to enter the scene.
"Good morning and happy birthday, darling." She kissed him on his forehead.
Looking into his eyes filled her with a mixture of joy and sadness. How he reminded her of Jackson! Louie took two of the slices and slid them on the plate in front of his mother.
"I made my own breakfast. Will you eat it with me?"
Sheila smiled. "Yes."
"There is one condition."
"What's that?" she asked.
"Can I make my birthday wish early?"
Sheila crossed her arms in mock protest. "It's highly irregular, but I guess it will be okay."
Louie closed his eyes. "Lord, I wish that my mom would stop crying herself to sleep at night because my dad left. Let her know we will be alright."
Sheila nodded in agreement. She sunk her teeth into Louie's breakfast creation. Today, love and satisfaction had been found in a young boy's butter and jelly toast.

Here are some of the most unique celebrity baby names and why they were chosen12 Tips From Mums to Mums For Caring For A Newborn BabyHilary Duff rejoices after specialist she hired succeeds in training baby daughter 'to fall asleep on her own'The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (also known as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle) are expecting!The best ways to keep babies and toddlers cool during hot weatherZara names royal baby after the QueenA COUPLE have seven babies under three after they tried for "just one more" – and fell pregnant with QUINTUPLETS.Newborn Survival GuideHow to help your baby get the most out of tummy timeDuchess of Cambridge in Labour
With the arrival of her first child just a few months away, The Duchess of Cambridge has begun shopping for baby goods as she prepares for the imminent arrival of the future heir to the throne.
The purchasing preferences of the UK's pregnant Royal is bound to have a knock-on effect with other mums-to-be. Kate's first significant purchase has been revealed to be a Bugaboo, the ultimate in celebrity endorsement for the already high-profile brand.
The Duchess, who is now six months' pregnant, told a group of Army wives at a recent drinks reception that she has bought a Bugaboo. The A-listers favoured buggy costs £1,200 for a top-of-the-range model.
Bugaboo says it did not present the buggy to the couple, so if Kate has one, she bought it herself. Only time will tell if the purchase will lead to a spike in sales of her preferred brand.
The shopping hasn't stopped there, as Kate has also chosen a white wicker Moses basket - priced up to £295 for an off the shelf model. She purchased the basket last week from a boutique nursery furniture shop called Blue Almonds in South Kensington.
Izabela Minkiewicz, the owner of Blue Almonds, declined to comment on the Duchess' purchases, but did confirm that she was 'honoured' to have received a visit from her. "We spend a great deal of time making sure that we get to know the client, their particular taste and demands," she said.
The following day Kate was seen back out shopping for baby goods again at the Peter Jones department store in Chelsea, where she spent several hours mulling over buggies and a car seat.
Prince Harry has also passed on a 'My Tatty Teddy' toy from the Tatty Teddy & My Blue Nose Friends toy range for the newborn, taking it on a helicopter ride back to Kensington Palace after it was given to him by a wellwisher.
The Duchess has revealed that her baby is due in mid-July and insists that she and William have chosen not to discover the sex of their child
Baby Mattresses Online have all types of mattresses to fit wicker moses baskets or bugaboo carrycots as chosen by the Duchess.
For any advice about baby mattresses including the type of baby mattress or even just checking the size of a carrycot mattress, please get in touch with us - our specialised team will be only too pleased to help.

Britney Spears wanted control of her career, and she got it. The result? Her latest video, which she co-directed, features the singer playing air guitar in her underwear, singing in a faux girl band, and flying a pink Hummer through the clouds.
Spears said she had more of a hand in "Do Somethin' " than any other video she's made, as she "even came up with all the choreography and styled the entire shoot myself using Juicy Couture clothing" (see "Britney Clarifies: I'm Taking A Break From Being Told What To Do"). "Do Somethin'," which won't be serviced to U.S. video channels, was slated to premiere in the U.K. this Friday, but fans around the world are already watching it thanks to an online leak.
In it, Spears wears a pink midriff T-shirt reading "Love Boat" and a pink capelet, making her way to a club called Hole in the Wall with her four blond bandmates via the flying pink Hummer and singing, "Somebody give me my truck/ So I can ride on the clouds/ ... Somebody pass my guitar/ So I can look like a star." En route, they whip their hair in sync to the beat as Spears puts the car on autopilot. Once they arrive, Spears and crew head for the dance floor, where she exhorts the crowd, "Get up out of your seat/ Why don't you do something?"
After a few dance moves, including one where her band pushes her around in a chair, Spears and the girls make for the stage and rock out a bit. Interspersed throughout the video are shots of Spears performing in black underwear and a white mini fur coat, as if she were shot in a separate room and is just being flashed on a screen à la "My Prerogative." But when her band starts performing, the in-her-undies Spears' response is to play air guitar.
Spears has described the video as "cute," which might explain why she goes back and forth between trying to look sexy and then goofy. She breaks from serious vamp poses to mug dorky grins and roll her eyes at the camera, even when she's in her underwear. Her answer to the incongruity might also be found in the song: "I see ya looking over here/ Can't you tell I'm having fun?"

Menorca is pretty quiet when it comes to its nightlife scene, at least in comparison to its Balearic neighbours Majorca and Ibiza. Rather than dancing in wild clubs to the pumping music of DJs, tourists choose cheap holidays to Menorca to relish in its natural beauty and have a drink at a chilled out bar with live music in the background. There are a few all-night clubs in Menorca as well as a great selection of beach bars, karaoke joints, British and Irish pubs, jazz clubs, cocktails bars and sports bars. All inclusive holidays to Menorca are popular, but whether drinks at your hotel are included or not these are some bars it's worth stepping out to.
This is almost certainly the most dramatic nightlife venue you will ever visit. Cova D'en Xoroi is a cave bar that has been moulded into the side of a cliff. You can sit outside on the terraces jutting out over the water and take in the epic views of the Mediterranean Sea in this unique location.
Cova D'en Xoroi is a restaurant and bar in the evenings and then transforms into a nightclub with DJs, live music and dancing inside the cave. There is an entry fee but this includes a voucher for a drink and the breath-taking panoramic sea views come included.
Tom's Bar is a family-run British bar and you'll feel right at home as they welcome you to their inclusive establishment. This friendly bar is always busy, a testament to the wonderful service and cracking atmosphere that goes on nightly. Entertainment runs throughout the evenings and you'll be able to watch all the live sports action on their large screen TVs.
This open air bar is extremely popular with holiday-goers due to their good-value drinks and large, fruity cocktails. Bar 51 Pub plays live music from local musicians in the evenings including salsa music and Spanish guitar, setting the scene for a traditional Menorca holiday. You'll also be able to catch up on the football games from back home and join in with the weekly karaoke tunes.
Aloha from Son Bou's Hawaiian themed bar, Bou Hai. Be transported to an island of no troubles as you take in their Hawaiian themed decor and furnishings, including hanging wicker chairs, hammocks, bamboo and even resident parrots.
Delicious fresh fruit cocktails and pina coladas arrive by servers on roller skates as Hawaiian island music plays in the background. Bou Hai is a child-friendly venue so you won't have you leave your kids with the in-laws. Attached to this Hawaiian bar is an arcade room and soft play area for younger ones.
You haven't tried karaoke till you've been to the Big Apple Karaoke Bar. This buzzing and exciting joint is sure to get your night started off right, with free-flowing drinks and hilarious moments on the stage.
Brave the limelight and sing along to your favourites like Whitney Huston, Cher and Take That, or just sit back and watch others take to the mic. Friendly and welcoming, you'll make new friends and have a laugh at the Big Apple.
