Are you planning on flying with your new baby? Be sure to talk to your baby's doctor first. You may be advised to wait until your baby is 3 months old or older. This is because a newborn's immune system is not yet fully developed, making colds and other infections more likely to occur. At the airport and in the closed quarters of an airplane, your baby will be exposed to a lot of germs. Also infants do not equalize ear pressure well. The doctor can give you guidance as to when it is safe for your baby to board a plane. When you are ready to plan the trip, follow the tips below.
Health Problems
If your baby has a health condition, such as lung problems or a cold, be sure to talk to the doctor. Depending on your baby's health, you may need to postpone the trip. If your baby has an ear infection or a cold, the doctor may suggest giving your baby a pain reliever for ear pain associated with pressure changes.
Something else to keep in mind is that airplanes have low oxygen levels. This does not cause problems with healthy people. But if your baby has a breathing problem, the doctor may want your baby to have supplemental oxygen.
International Travel
There are many factors to consider if you are planning on traveling abroad. Check the CDC Travelers' Health website for specific information about the country to which you are traveling. Also, talk to the doctor to find out if your baby needs any additional vaccinations.
On most airlines, it is free for children 2 years of age and under to fly if sitting on a parent's lap. However, it is safer if you reserve a seat for your baby. You can place your baby in a rear-facing car seat in an airline seat and buckle your baby in. Most car seats are certified for planes. Check to make sure yours is. If you do plan on bringing the car seat, tell the airline staff when you buy your tickets.
Where should you sit? Some people recommend sitting in the bulkhead seats because they offer more room. If you are going on a long flight and need a bassinet (which the airline supplies), the bulkhead seats can accommodate it. You can always get advice about seating from the airline staff when you book your reservations.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Website
Get the latest airport security information by checking the Transportation Security Administration website before your flight. On the page Traveling With Children, you can learn about what is acceptable to bring (eg, breastmilk, formula, medications) and what the security process is like. Remember, too, that you will need to carry your baby through the metal detector. Even if your baby is sleeping in a stroller, you will have to pick him or her up to go through security.
Carry-on Bag
Before packing, check the TSA's website to learn about restrictions for carry-on luggage. Be sure that you are clear about what you can bring and how you should pack it. For example, some items need to be in zip-lock bags. Here are some ideas for supplies:
- Diapers, baby wipes, diaper rash ointment, and trash bags to throw away the diapers
- Extra clothes
- Feeding supplies—bottles, nipples, formula, bibs
- Pacifiers
- Age-appropriate toys—rattles, plastic rings
- Any medications that your baby needs
In addition, you may want to bring your own portable stroller so that you will have it at the airport and when you reach your destination.
Dress your baby in comfortable clothes that are easy to remove for diaper changes.
Arrival Time
Get to the airport early to give yourself plenty of time. This will help to reduce stress, especially when you and your baby go through security.
Drop-Off Spot
If you are traveling with someone, have your companion drop you and your baby off at the door. This will make your voyage a lot easier. Be sure to have a meeting spot so you can reunite with your companion.
Checked Luggage
With the baby supplies and your own luggage, you will have a lot to carry and keep track of. Try to check in as much of your own luggage as possible to reduce your load.
Diaper Change
Before boarding the plane, change your baby's diaper. The airport restroom is much more comfortable and convenient than the cramped bathroom on the plane. You may want to check to make sure that the airline does have a changing table in their bathroom. In some cases, you may be able to change your baby's diaper in the seat.
The plane is a noisy environment. Do not use cotton balls or ear plugs because your baby could choke on them if they fall out. You can find ear muffs especially made for infants for sale on the internet.
If your baby begins to cry, check to see if a diaper needs to be changed, if your baby is hungry, or if your baby is too hot or too cold. Your baby may also be bothered if the sun is shining on his or her face. While it is distressing when your baby cries, remember that not every passenger will be able to hear the crying. The plane's engines are noisy and muffle other sounds. Do your best to stay calm. If allowed, walk down the aisle with your baby.
Ear Pain
Ear pain happens because of the changes in air pressure. But not every baby experiences ear pain. It is more likely to happen if your baby has a cold. In that case, the doctor may advise that you delay the trip or give your baby a pain reliever.
Breastfeeding, bottlefeeding, or giving your baby a pacifier can help to relieve ear pressure. The pressure becomes the most problematic when the plane takes off and when it begins to descend. You can ask the flight attendant when the descent will begin, since this differs depending on the plane's altitude.
If you have tried feeding and using a pacifier and your baby still seems to be in pain, try rubbing your baby's ears.
After the plane has landed, you may want to allow other passengers to exit the plane before you. This will give you room and time to gather your belongings.
With proper planning and patience, flying with your baby can go smoothly. Remember that you can ask TSA staff and airplane attendants for help. They have helped many families travel successfully, and they are a great resource.

Laguna Beach High Principal Joanne Culverhouse announced Tuesday the hiring of Raúl Papaleo as the school's new head coach of the girls' varsity volleyball team.
Papaleo, 41, a native of Puerto Rico, replaces Lance Stewart, who resigned as girls' head coach in December.
"I'm really excited and happy to be the head coach at Laguna Beach," Papaleo said. "I know the girls' program here has a lot of history, and I'm excited to come in and continue that tradition. I'm looking forward to a good year."
Papaleo has more than 20 years of volleyball experience. He played collegiate men's volleyball at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne in Fort Wayne, Ind., where he was part of an NCAA Final Four team and achieved All-American status as an outside hitter. He first coached at the prep level in 1994 as a varsity head coach at Bishop Dwenger High School in Fort Wayne, and later coached at three different high schools in Puerto Rico. He also coached a men's collegiate team in Puerto Rico (2000-01).
Papaleo competed on the Puerto Rico National Team and was a member of the first Puerto Rican beach volleyball team to compete at the Olympic Games. He is a 2003 Pan American Games bronze medalist and a two-time North Central American and Caribbean Confederation (NORCECA) gold medalist (2003, 2008). He played several years on the Assn. of Volleyball Professionals Tour.
Papaleo currently coaches at Tstreet Volleyball Club in Irvine.
"Coach Papaleo is going to be a great addition to our staff," Laguna Athletic Director Mike Churchill said. "He will bring the experience and drive that will allow us to continue to enjoy the success that we have had. We hope that it will be a long relationship."
Papaleo will lead the Breakers for the first time next fall.
"I'm already busy, putting our schedule together and getting things ready for the season," he said. "We'll have a young team, but I know the girls in this program are great athletes. I can't wait for things to get started."

Dr. Steve Potts, director of athletics at Lipscomb University, has announced a restructuring of the tennis program.
Dr. Lynn Griffith, the coach for the program for the past 27 years, has been named Director of Tennis. Andrew Harris will serve as the men's coach and Kristin Lusk will coach the women. They will both carry the title of associate head coach.

He stepped down from coaching tennis in 1992 for six years so he could watch his two sons play athletics.
Griffith served as Lipscomb's cross country coach from 1994 - 1999. Every year that Dr. Griffith was cross country coach, Lipscomb had runners participate in the NAIA National Cross Country meet. In 1997, he was named the TranSouth Conference Cross-Country Coach of the year.
Griffith is a professor in the Kinesiology Department. He teaches courses in Motor Learning, Kinesiology, Mechanics of Movement, and coaching education. He currently maintains memberships in the Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association and the United States Professional Tennis Registry. In the past, he has written a regular fitness column for The Sandlotter (publication dealing with local baseball).
He is married to the former Dianne Goolsby. They have two sons, Matthew and Cole.
Lusk played tennis at Abilene Christian University from 1999-2003. She served as co-captain her senior year and was member of the Athlete's Advisory Board. While at Abilene Christian she helped the team advance to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II National Tournament all four years.

The Buccaneers player grumbling about his bosses who said "Can we send these coaches back to college?" is getting his wish, a little at a time.
According to Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune, Buccaneers quarterbacks coach Ron Turner is leaving to take the head coaching job at Florida International University.
The Bucs previously lost wide receivers coach P.J. Fleck to Western Michigan.
Of course, those two aren't really the ones being grumbled about.
FIU previously tried to hire Bucs consultant Butch Davis, with some reports saying it was a done deal (though his buyout from UNC seemed to be a complicating factor more than anything).
Turner returns to the college game, where he spent one year at San Jose State and eight at Illinois.
The Bucs could end up replacing Turner with John McNulty, who was fired as part of Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt's staff last week. Bucs coach Greg Schiano asked for permission to hire him as his offensive coordinator last year, but was denied. McNulty was Schiano's OC at Rutgers.

It was Australia's turn for Quilt Market this weekend or two days in the year designers, distributors and shop owners can get together under the same roof and release new products, fabrics and designs.
This weekend I was able to work alongside Millhouse Collections and create a display with Butterfly Dance and little paper snippets from the next collection due out in 2015
I had so much fun pulling this all together!
Let me walk you through.
Firstly I'll intoduce you to Frankie {the wonder dog} he won 'best book end' at Market......well, not really BUT he was photographed by the quilting paparazi and seemed to enjoy the moment.
The books Frankie's guarding are covered in my Saltwater prints which are now selling into stores in preparation for it's 2015 release.
The shadow box and lamp shade were both crying out for me when I found them and they created perfect place to share a little more of the Saltwater designs.
{Note: these are made entirely from paper art prints of the design collection}
This is also the place my Make it, Wear it samples will rest in the studio because they look super cute in their little box home.
My little hexagon t-shirt created quite a stir at Market it's made simply with 1 1/2" hexagons fused onto the shirt using Heat n Bond....do you need a tutorial?
Simple and very effective = LOVE!
I fused Butterfly Dance fabric to heavy card stock and made flying butterflies, these were fun to make and rather addictive once you start - I could have gathered quite a collection.
Let's be honest. My favorite place to be was among these pillows & bean bags, because if your going to Market you may as well be comfortable and well rested.
So that's a wrap of my booth display, it's all about having fun with fabric and creating something that you adore!
A huge thank you to the shops that ordered Butterfly Dance and Saltwater and to everyone who stopped by the Millhouse Collections booth and said hello this weekend, it was so much fun to catch up with everyone, meet new faces and hear stories of your customers enjoying my patterns and fabric collections.
I inspire you?
You inspire me.

How to Build a Website for the True Beginner
This article is almost as much about kissing as it is about building websites. And why not – there are not enough discussions about kissing in the world of website building, domains and website hosting. It's right to expect more – in fact we should demand more kissing in the world of the web. Smooching never goes out of style. And either should your website.
Remember when you were in school and you were trying to figure out the whole relationship thing? You worried if you were attractive and what you would do when your big day came along – the day of your first kiss. There were lots of things that were almost impossible to understand. Like what is the difference between making out and getting to first base? Why did your grandparents call it smooching and what the heck is necking? As for the British calling it snogging – and that just sounds disgusting.
Trying to figure out how to build a website is pretty similar. Many people are nervous and initially bamboozled by the technical jargon. Even beginners' guides are difficult to understand. But just like after your first kiss, website building does get easier.
So let's go through some of the basics:
Domain and Hosting
There are two things that you will need before you start thinking of the design and content of your website. Those two things are a domain name and website hosting.
A domain name is the name of your website – yourname.com, for example – and it has to be unique. A .com domain name is the most common, but there are others like .net, .co and .biz. You buy a domain name from a domain registrar. You'll want to pick the best domain name for your business.
Website hosting, or cloud hosting, refers to the server (or servers) where your website is stored. You buy website hosting either yearly or monthly from a hosting provider. Often the same company will provide both domain registration services and website hosting.
Web Builders and Content Management System
The next stage of the process is to decide on the tool that you will use to create your website. Some website hosting providers offer website builders that allow you to create your site. These are easy to use and are designed for beginners.
Another popular option is to use a content management system (CMS). That sounds complicated but it is just like a piece of software. You will have to learn how to use it, but this can be done without any knowledge of code or computer programming.
The most popular CMS applications are Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress.
Website Templates and Design
The next thing you will need is a template. This is the basic layout and design of your website. Think of it as everything except for the content. You will have a choice of different templates and some will incur a small fee, but there are also many that are free.
One thing to look out for is multi-platform functionality. A lot of users now access the internet through tablets and phones. Try to learn about what the rise of mobile web usage means for your business. Your website needs to look good on all mobile devices as well as on computers. Modern high quality templates will have mobile site functionality built in – it's often called "responsive design."
Content and Marketing Copy
Once you have your domain name, your website hosting, your site building tool, and your template then you are ready to start adding content. Your content should be helpful to the user. And it should be concise and straight to the point. You should have an About section to explain who you are, and a contact section so users can get in touch with you.
After that it's up to you. But here's one final tip: a website is never truly finished. So, like kissing, you'll need to come back to it again and again through the years. Enjoy the process and think of building your website as passionate fun. You'll be surprised at how entertaining it can become.
See just how easy it is to create a custom website using Eranet's Website Builder. Follow these simple steps and build a beautiful website for your business today.

The heart of any art museum is its collection. Woodmere Art Museum's mission is to tell the stories of Philadelphia's artists, and our ever-growing collection is central to every exhibition and activity at our museum. Through literally hundreds of generous gifts and purchases, Woodmere's collection has now grown to 3,404 works of art, with 701 having been acquired in just the last two years.
This sort of growth results from the new energy at Woodmere. As the museum's director, I'm writing to encourage a sense of pride and collective ownership of this unique community asset and to extend an open invitation: Help us celebrate Woodmere's recent acquisitions by joining us at our free Open House reception on Saturday, Jan. 26, from 1 to 4 p.m. Everyone is welcome.
Be the first to see our exhibition "Just In!," which will showcase a selection of our newest treasures, while another exhibition, "The Philip Jamison Collection," showcases an important promised gift to Woodmere of almost 100 works of art from the distinguished Chester County watercolorist's private collection. These exhibitions include works by the Pennsylvania Impressionists, Philadelphia's modernists, contemporary abstract painters, traditional academic and realist painters and more. Jamison's masterful and prized watercolors will be on view, as well.
Artists on view include Arthur B. Carles, Jan Baltzell, Bernard Badura, Quita Brodhead, Amanda Bush, Michael Gallagher, Albert Gold, Betty Hubbard, Elaine Kurtz, Roy C. Nuse, Violet Oakley, Elizabeth Osborne, Jane Piper, Bill Scott, Benton Spruance, A.K. Stoddard, Francis Tucker, Martha Walter and many more.
Woodmere is also in the midst of digitizing its collection, making these important works by Philadelphia's artists accessible to people all over the world. We invite you to our website's collection page, woodmerecollection.org, where you can search through our galleries and storage vault electronically. Almost half of the collection is now online.
This giant step into the digital age was made possible by a generous grant from philanthropist John McFadden in honor of his friend, Marguerite Lenfest, a trustee of Woodmere whose support has been foundational to the life of the museum. Woodmere's website, woodmereartmuseum.org, is the place to go for information about the museum's classical music and jazz concerts, lectures and conversations with artists, Tuesday Night at the Movies, Museum Store, art classes and other offerings.
Woodmere's board, staff and volunteers are honored to serve the museum's mission, and we thank the many generous individuals whose donations of art are a gift to everyone. We hope you can join us on Saturday, Jan. 26, from 1 to 4 p.m., as we celebrate the growth of our great collection — a collection for all of you in Northwest Philadelphia and far beyond.
Woodmere Art Museum is located at 9201 Germantown Ave. For more information, call 215-247-0476 or visit woodmereartmuseum.org.
William R. Valerio, Ph.D., is the Patricia Van Burgh Allison Director and CEO, Woodmere Art Museum.

TEMIS Text Analytics Technology Automates the Analysis of Arabic Language Information
NEW YORK, March 16, 2010/PRNewswire/ -- TEMIS, the leader in Text Analytics solutions for the Enterprise, today announced it is playing an active role in the SAMAR Project, a government funded multimedia content enrichment initiative of Cap Digital, the French consortium for digital content research and development.
Low volume of Arabic language content in North Africa
The information industry is still developing in North African countries. The volume of content authored in Arabic language is low. Newspapers play a key role in the development of the Arabic language internet, accounting for 40% of its content[1]. However, the production of content in Arabic faces steady demand with the growth of Arabic speaking web users from these countries. Outside North Africa, press agencies are trying to increase their range of Arabic information sources.
Opening new horizons for Arabic content
The SAMAR project was initiated by Agence France-Presse (AFP), the Paris-based international news service. AFP has plans to expand its online information portal to multilingual content including Arabic. Arabic language structure is extremely complex and current technologies do not allow for an optimal semantic tagging. It is also complex to connect Arabic content to information in other languages.
A semantic analysis is necessary to index Arabic language content and make it accessible and findable through online search.
SAMAR, the platform for Arabic multimedia information management
The SAMAR project team will apply new technology to the wealth of Arabic language output of AFP, around 1 million news articles totalling about 150 million words, as well as to a wide set of radio and TV multimedia channels.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — All of the stars came out for the 2016 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame ceremony last weekend in Springfield, Mass. Its annual right of passage for the best of the very best. Shaquille O'Neal, Allen Iverson, Yao Ming and Sheryl Swoopes were all honored.
And so, too, was one of our very own. The great David Aldridge, winner of the Hall of Fame's Curt Gowdy Media Award, was feted alongside those giants of the game.
No one covers the NBA and basketball the way DA has and continues to for TNT, NBA TV and NBA.com (you've enjoyed his work for three decades on every platform). The basketball insider's insider, Aldridge's career spans eras, from the golden years of the Showtime Lakers, Big 3 Celtics and Bad Boys Pistons to the Jordan era to Shaq-Kobe Lakers to this current super team era.
DA has seen it all and covered it all, and better than anyone.
That he found his way to the Hall of Fame was simply a matter of time. Going in on the same weekend as the likes of Shaq, Iverson and Yao seems only fitting for a man who has helped change the game, in his own right, for so many.
We dig in on DA's wild and crazy summer, which included his covering Kevin Durant's free agent summer and the Rio Olympics, his views on the current state of the game, athlete activism and so much more heading into the 2016-17 season.
Check it out on Episode 248 of The Hang Time Podcast featuring our very own David Aldridge.
As always, we welcome your feedback. You can follow the entire crew, including the Hang Time Podcast, co-hosts Sekou Smith of NBA.com, Lang Whitaker of NBA.com's All-Ball Blog and renaissance man Rick Fox of NBA TV, as well as our new super producer Gregg (just like Popovich) Waigand.

on the wagon[ wag-uhn ]SEE DEFINITION OF on the wagon
Synonyms for on the wagon
- abstaining
- abstemious

- drying out
- free of alcohol
- nonindulgent
- not drinking
- not drunk
- not partaking of alcohol

1520s, from Middle Dutch wagen, waghen, from Proto-Germanic *wagnaz (cf. Old English wægn, Modern English wain, Old Saxon and Old High German wagan, Old Norse vagn, Old Frisian wein, German Wagen), from PIE *woghnos, from *wegh- "to carry, to move" (cf. Sanskrit vahanam "vessel, ship," Greek okhos, Latin vehiculum, Old Church Slavonic vozu "carriage, chariot," Russian povozka, Lithuanian vazis "a small sledge," Old Irish fen, Welsh gwain "carriage, cart;" see weigh).
In Dutch and German, the general word for "a wheel vehicle;" English use is a result of contact through Flemish immigration, Dutch trade, or the Continental wars. It has largely displaced the native cognate, wain. Spelling preference varied randomly between -g- and -gg- from mid-18c., before American English settled on the etymological wagon, while waggon remained common in Great Britain. Wagon train is attested from 1810. Phrase on the wagon "abstaining from alcohol" is 1904, originally on the water cart.

Finland's Tapio Pulkkanen belied his amateur status to surge into a 54 hole lead in the First Qualifying Stage Section B in Germany.
After trailing overnight leader, Sweden's Marcus Larsson, by six shots heading into the third round at Golf & Country Club Fleesensee, Pulkkanen took advantage of his Scandinavian counterpart's struggles in round three to sign for a seven under par 65 that featured seven birdies, an eagle and just the two dropped shots.
Despite completing his round on Thursday in 12 more shots than he had done a day previously, Larsson still retained a share of second place with 18 holes to play in Göhren-Lebbin after his three over par 75 left him four shots shy of Pulkkanen.
Alongside Larsson at 12 under par was another amateur in Germany's Sebastian Schwind, who carded a second consecutive 69 to stay on course for a place in the next Qualifying Stage along with 54 other players who progressed through to round four on 220 (+4).
Over at Wychwood Park in England, meanwhile, Rob Harris managed to retain a slender 54-hole lead despite suffering with a migraine.
The Englishman, whose five under par round of 67 on Wednesday had put him in a dominant position at the Cheshire course, carded a 73 to slip back to five under par.
With 18 holes left to play, Harris still leads by two strokes from his compatriots Ryan O'Neill and Jamie Howarth, who signed for a topsy-turvy round of 69.
Howarth made seven birdies in his three under par round, a haul that would have seen the Cheshire man storm into the lead in his home county were it not for two bogeys and a double at the par four 13th.
A total of 184 players are competing in the second week of the European Tour Qualifying School at Golf and Country Club Fleesensee – a European Tour Course – and Wychwood Park, with the leading 24 players and ties from the German venue near Berlin progressing through to the Second Stage, while the top 23 and ties will make it through from the Cheshire course.
Somewhere in the region of 28% of the field will make it through to the Second Qualifying Stage which will take place across four venues in Spain – Campo de Golf El Saler, Las Colinas Golf & Country Club, El Valle Golf Resort and Lumine Golf & Beach Club – from November 7-10. Approximately 310 players will line up at those four venues, with about 80 progressing through to the Final Stage at PGA Catalunya Resort – also a European Tour Course - from November 24-29.

Talking points on the value of librarians:
- Librarians are the ultimate search engine. Librarians are trained experts in finding information, wherever it is — in books, in archives, on the Web.
- In a world of information overload, librarians are information navigators — clearing a path, pointing you toward the information you need.
Talking points on the theme of opportunity:
- In a world where knowledge is power, libraries open doors to knowledge and bring power to any who want to enter.
- With yourself as your teacher and your librarian as coach, libraries are a place of lifelong learning.
Talking points on the theme of changing and dynamic:
- For many libraries, miles are meaningless. Libraries today are connected to information and resources around the world. Pittsburgh reaches Paris, small town Maine connects with Los Angeles, Boise accesses Beijing. Today's library technology means that information from around the world is just a few clicks away.
- What's happening at your library? In one typical library, three o'clock on Mondays means children are listening to a storyteller, first-time computer users are learning to navigate the Web, retirees are in a discussion group on the latest bestseller, and students are surfing the Internet in search of information for their term papers.
Talking points on the theme of bringing you the world:
- For many libraries, miles are meaningless. Libraries today are connected to information and resources around the world. Pittsburgh reaches Paris, Boise accesses Beijing. Today's library technology means that information from around the world is just a few clicks away.
- Libraries are your neighborhood's "How To" resource. How to cook the perfect soufflé, write a better resume, find government information, do your homework — it's all @ your library.
- Libraries are the ultimate equal-opportunity resource.
The following should be kept in mind when communicating about libraries:
- Illustrate or at least allude to the diverse set of experiences and opportunities available to users of all ages. Continue to emphasize the family-friendly, safe-haven aspects of libraries.
- Point out that libraries offer more than just printed materials — they provide access to computers, the Internet, activities, etc.
- Reassure users that old-fashioned, in-person service along with traditional printed materials are not about to disappear at the expense of new library technologies.
- New technologies should be stressed — especially in terms of offering vastly increased resources along with the library staff to help users navigate these resources.
- Communicate that while people can access some of these resources at other places, the library offers them all in one place.
- Profile the changing role of the librarian (friendly, tech-savvy and skilled at guiding patrons in the right direction).
- Link the value of libraries to personal benefits. Stress the concepts of economic opportunity and self-growth and improvement.

Kickstarting Banner Saga
I just bought a game that doesn't exist yet. Curiously enough that is all the rage these days. I assume that it has to do with the typical game hype cycle, where every game is great before it is released, and sucks as soon as it is released. Thus it becomes easier to sell a game before it is released, or even created.
Having said that, I was well willing to pledge $10 to Banner Saga on Kickstarter, because tactical RPGs on the PC aren't exactly plentiful. Best case scenario is me getting a game I want for $10. Worst case scenario is Banner Saga never getting made and my $10 just ending up as a faint signal to the game industry that "Hey, people would like to see some tactical RPGs on the PC!". I'm not likely to spend huge amounts on multiple Kickstarter projects yet, but I'm okay with trying it once in this case and see how it works out.

Thanks for providing the link to this Kickstarter Campaign. I've donated to other Kickstarter projects (e.g., let's fund this art exhibit from a major city to visit lots of smaller towns in the region) but this is the first time I've ever purchased a game through Kickstarter. Here's hoping the game is fun :->
You know, the new Baldur's Gate enhanced (and ultimately BG3) developers are thinking about using Kickstarter. There's a turn based RPG for ya!
Have you seen the Kickstarter project for Wasteland 2?
As I understand it the money is returned if the project fails to be funded. In terms of that all you payed was that you couldn't spend that $10 on anything else, for awhile.Post a Comment

A Hidden Service Hackfest: The Arlington Accords
At the beginning of July, a few of us gathered in Washington DC for the first hidden service hackfest. Our crew was comprised of core Tor developers and researchers who were in the area; mostly attendees of PETS. The aim was to push hidden service development forward and swiftly arrive at decisions that were too tiresome and complex to make over e-mail.
Since we were mostly technical folks, we composed technical proposals and prioritized development, and spent less time with organizational or funding tasks. Here is a snapshot of the work that we did during those 5 days:
- The first day, we discussed current open topics on hidden services and tasks we should be doing in the short-to-medium-term future.
Our list of tasks included marketing and fundraising ones like "Re-branding hidden services" and "Launch crowdfunding campaign", but we spent most of the first day discussing Proposal 224 aka the "Next Generation Hidden Services" project.
- Proposal 224 is our master plan for improving hidden services in fundamental ways: The new system will be faster, use better cryptography, have more secure onion addresses, and offer advanced security properties like improved DoS resistance and keeping identity keys offline. It's heavy engineering work, and we are still fine-tuning the design, so implementation has not started yet.
While discussing how we would implement the system, we decided that we would need to write most of the code for this new protocol from scratch, instead of hooking into the old and rusty hidden service code. To move this forward, we spent part of the following days splitting the proposal into individual modules and figuring out how to refactor the current data structures so that the new protocol can coexist with the old protocol.
- One open design discussion on proposal 224 has been an earlier suggestion of merging the roles of "hidden service directory" and "introduction point" on the hidden service protocol. This change would improve the security and performance as well as simplify the relevant code, and reduce load on the network. Because it changes the protocol a bit, it would be good to have it specified precisely. For this reason, we spent the second and third days writing a proposal that defines how this change works.
- Another core part of proposal 224 is the protocol for global randomness calculation. That's a system where the Tor network itself generates a fresh, unpredictable random value everyday; basically like the NIST Randomness Beacon but decentralized.
Proposal 225 specifies a way that this can be achieved, but there are still various engineering details that need to be ironed out. We spent some time discussing the various ways we can implement the system and the engineering decisions we should take, and produced a draft Tor proposal that specifies the system.
- We also discussed guard discovery attacks, and the various defenses that we could deploy. The fact that many core Tor people were present helped us decide rapidly which various parameters and trade-offs that we should pick. We sketched a proposal and posted it to the [tor-dev] mailing list and it has already received very helpful feedback.
- We also took our old design for "Direct Onion Services" and revised it into a faster and far more elegant protocol. These types of services trade service-side location privacy for improved performance, reliability, and scalability. They will allow sites like reddit to offer their services faster on hidden services while respecting their clients anonymity. During the last days of the hackfest, we wrote a draft proposal for this new design.
- We did more development on OnioNS, the Onion Name System, which allows a hidden service operator to register a human memorable name (e.g. example.tor) that can be used instead of the regular onion address. In the last days of the hackfest we prepared a proof-of-concept demo wherein a domain name was registered and then the Tor Browser successfully loaded a hidden service under that name. That was a significant step for the project.
- We also discussed hidden service statistics and how the two statistics we implemented a few months ago have been very useful. To improve their reliability (since currently only about 3% of the network reports them), we decided to enable them by default in the future.
We also discussed systems for collecting additional statistics in a privacy-preserving manner, using Secure Multiparty Computation or other similar techniques.
- We talked about rebranding the "Hidden Services" project to "Onion Services" to reduce "hidden"/"dark"/"evil" name connotations, and improve terminology. In fact, we've been on this for a while, but we are still not sure what the right name is. What do you think?
- To improve user education, we explored various concepts for a graphical animation explaining hidden services similar in concept to the Tor animation from a few months ago.
And that's only part of what we did. We also wrote code for various tickets, reviewed even more code and really learned how to use Ricochet.
All in all, we managed to fit more things than we hoped into those few days and we hope to do even more focused hackfests in the near future. Email us if you are interested in hosting a hackfest!
If you'd like to get involved with hidden service development, you can contact the hackfest team. Our nicks on IRC OFTC are armadev, asn, dgoulet, kernelcorn, mrphs, ohmygodel, robgjansen, saint, special, sysrqb, and syverson.
Until next time!
How about "Private Services"
How about "Private Services" (for the Hidden Services rename)?
The word 'private' carries
The word 'private' carries the connotation of corporate, and of course Tor likes to distinguish itself from privacy with anonymity.
How about "Black
How about "Black Addresses"?
"Black Services" would sound a bit racist though.
i need alot of privacy
i need alot of privacy services please provide the links.
So what's up with
So what's up with "direct onion services", provided that server-side anonymity is pretty much the only feature of onion services to begin with? In other words, if you lose server-side anonymity, what do you have left that can't be done with regular, non-Tor severs? You can get encryption and integrity protection with TLS, and you can even force clients to use Tor by only permitting connections from Tor exit nodes.
Hello, the past months we've
the past months we've been seeing various organizations who don't care about server-side location privacy, setting up their own hidden services. For example, sites like Facebook and blockchain.info use hidden services to better load-balance Tor users, and protect them from phishing and exit node attacks. Furthermore, the fact that Tor onion URLs are self-authenticating, allows users to reach those websites safely without relying on the security of SSL certificate authorities or the DNS system.
With "direct onion services" (or however we name this), the above websites could do this and also get greatly improved performance, since the server-side does not need to be hidden. We think that clients and the network will appreciate this.
Also check out the old proposal for this system (from 4 years ago) and its Motivation section for more use cases: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/ideas/xxx-encr…
And if you really think that hidden services are all about location-privacy, check out the following short paper by Syverson and Boyce:
that shows various ways onion services can be used for authentication and the new use cases they enable.
In general we think that in the future, we should decouple all these security properties of hidden services (as we learn them ourselves), and allow operators to pick and choose which properties they are interested in.
So, "direct onion services",
So, "direct onion services", only have a 3-hop circuit instead of a 6-hop circuit?
This means, that a "direct onion services" is only more private, and not more anonymous than visiting a regular clearnet website.
If it really isn't as anonymous than visiting a regular clearnet website, I'd suggest the TLD to be changed, or make sure that it is not being confused with Hidden Services that have a 6-hop circuit.
Hm, I'm not sure what you
Hm, I'm not sure what you mean here.
The security of the client is the same regardless of whether the hidden service is a direct onion service or not.
Here is how a hidden service circuit looks like now:
client -> c_hop1 - c_hop2 - c_hop3 (RP) - s_hop3 - s_hop2 - s_hop1 - HS
(where c_hop1 is the first hop of the client, and s_hop2 is the second hop of the HS)
And here is how it's going to look like with direct onion services:
client -> c_hop1 - c_hop2 - c_hop3 - HS
As you can see, in both cases the client is using a 3 hop Tor circuit, hence the client's anonymity is protected. In this sense it's as anonymous as "visiting a regular clearnet website".
Hope that cleared it up.
"safely without relying on
"safely without relying on the security of SSL certificate authorities or the DNS system."
I do not understand this sentence ; could you explain better pls (hidden service does not need certificate authentification/exchange key ???)
no "calomel" add-on are implemented with tor ; of course, it seems that it should be a hole if it was but or something similar is yet done or certificate has no value and calomel is useless on tor.
It's all because onion URLs
It's all because onion URLs (like duskgytldkxiuqc6.onion) are self-authenticating.
That's because this weird duskgytldkxiuqc6 name is not just a simple name, it's a cryptographic identity. It corresponds to a specific private key, in the same way that an SSL certificate corresponds to a specific SSL private key.
Hence, when you visit `duskgytldkxiuqc6.onion` over Tor, the Tor client ensures that you will only speak with the hidden service that knows the correct private key.
That saves you from the man-in-the-middle attacks of SSL like sslstrip (see alleged attacks on blockchain.info), or from DNS spoofing attacks that someone can do over WiFi.
Hope that helps.
Why not just call them
Why not just call them onions? The suffix is .onion after all.
So teach me how it woks

The IT community shouldn't have a problem with abbreviations. I believe the above is easy and smooth to say and provides the interpreter everything they need to understand the purpose of the protocols.
My new ACE service is now accepting registrations.
Announcing the new Facebook CE service.
Sounds good to me!
If the abbreviation is
If the abbreviation is pronounceable like Tor (The Onion Router), then okay. But mostly I dislike the use of abbreviations. We have the time to think about a good name, right?
ACE can be said as one word.
ACE can be said as one word. Like ace pilot. CE is easy to say. As in windows CE.
The more time that passes the more exposure the term "hidden" gets. The sudden change seen by this growing crowed might do little to reverse the pre-associated negative connotations. Unfortunately abbreviations mean a tiny amount of research on part of the curious. We should foster curiosity. A balanced approach is necessary. If we make things too easy. This currently imperfect implementation of security and anonymity we call the Tor ecosystem will open informational holes and facilitate op sec errors by means of user ignorance. Only a fool proof implementation will make the former sentence irrelevant.
"Tor" is not an abbreviation
"Tor" is not an abbreviation or acronym for The Onion Router, see comments by Roger and Paul and others.
>We talked about rebranding
>We talked about rebranding the "Hidden Services" project to "Onion Services" to reduce "hidden"/"dark"/"evil" name connotations, and improve terminology. In fact, we've been on this for a while, but we are still not sure what the right name is. What do you think?
I think that
1) the name "Hidden Service" has no bad connotations. Hidden is good. I will explain why, but please read carefully whole my comment.
If the one disobeys state's will, he is a criminal (it is a definition, not the legal one, but the real one, all the following mentions of criminal and crime are according this definition).
I) There will be some examples:
If the one has something to hide something from the government, he is a criminal, because
a) if he wasn't there would be no reason to hide (state is a huge corporation and it doesn't care about someones wardrobe skeletons unless these skeletons violates its interests);
b) more important is that it violates states' will to know everything about everyone.
II) If the one protects himself from attacks of the state, he is criminal, because he violates state's will to attack him.
III) If the one takes part in anonymous network (including Tor), he is not only a criminal, he is a member of criminal extremist group which aim is make the state powerless to enforce its will in electronic communications.
IV) If the one is a member of another state, he is criminal, because he helps the rival, and helping the rival violates state's will that all the world, all the resources and all your bases must belong to them.
So the purpose of Tor is to hide criminals (every Tor user) from the legal system of today (the legal systems of tomorrow will prosecute the criminals in definition I have made in the beginning of the comment) and to hide their doings from the state, the hiding is also a crime.
You must understand, that criminal is a normal status of free man. Say for yourself 100 times "I'm a criminal and I'm OK with it" and welcome to the cruel world.
The intention to remove signs of criminal activity Tor Project and Tor users are involved into from the names means that the ones who propose this either believe that they live in the world with rainbows and unicorns or wanted the users and the devs beleive such. Such beliefs can only lead us to failure.
2) I propose distinguish zero-circuit hidden services from real hidden services and give zero-circuit services top-level domain .leek (onion is hidden in the dark under ground, leek grows above the ground).
Using the term "criminal"
Using the term "criminal" you mix " privacy " and walking on the wrong or right side.
It is for everyone , criminal or not , and the minimum that every user can hope/expect.
i do not care of the name connotations evil:dark.
evil doe not mean perversity /pornography/pedophilia (without gay movement the half of the power and the fund should disappear) and dark does not mean criminal activity (without hidden plan the half of the economy and creation should disappear).
it is not criminal to be different and to wish a free world governed in another way by another person, it is even not a revolution ; it is only a modern evolution of this period that you are leaving now..
pls let's talk about
pls let's talk about ricochet , it is a very nice app and need to be improved/involved in an official tor project if and only if it is a safe tool _ experimental means even not yet alpha version _
does it need to be re wrote or to be taken in another manner ?
when tor team will agree to audit it and will bring their help ?
We doi need a stable and very secure version.
It would be nice if ricochet
It would be nice if ricochet were expanded into a file sharing program. Damn grubby media organizations are never satisfied with just billions they neeeeed mooooorrrreeee!!! I understand intellectual property and the desire to profit, but there has to be a better way. Art while an expression, is also a means of inspiration.
Limiting its impact due to greed is morally reprehensible and a sad reflection of humanities current values. At least half of this planet is impoverished. People are struggling just to get connected to the rest of this world. To further burden their curiosity and their potential for great contribution we then place price tags on information and art!!! A great number of influential people owe their passion to art and information others have produced. Let's not forget all the other legitimate use cases for a Tor p2p file-sharing network.
Ricochet or a fork is the perfect candidate for it. From my understanding it creates ephemeral anonymous (a.k.a hidden) services for each user that then connects to other ephemeral anonymous services. If each user were then turned into a ricochet only relay, then boom! You have the beginnings of a Tor powered p2p file-sharing network with chat built in. Take it a step further and allow users to create simple web pages on their newly created hidden service only accessible using ricochet. Of course things need to be thoroughly evaluated and fleshed out, but hey it not as hard as the rest of Tor.
Here's a light breakdown:
1. Client creates the hidden service (as per standard ricochet practice).
2. Client proceeds to contact the ricochet hidden server for list of peers (bootstrap).
3. Client receives the list then connects to the other peers/hidden services.
4. Over time and based on certain parameters, peers become bootstrap nodes, anonymous DHT's that must come to a consensus about the peer population and available network files, etc.
5. Requests are forwarded to several index nodes that then all communicate with each other to propagate the request and detect faulty or malicious behavior among them (i.e one of the index nodes modifies or denies the request etc).
6. Requester receives reply then begins retrieval of file/s.
7. File owners can be chat with if desired.
8. Using the upcoming OnioNS protocol, users can publish (in ricochet boards or associated with the file) user memorable names for their services.
9. If the service is popular, the network automatically caches it on other nodes effectively mitigating DDoS and compensating for popularity.
The hidden service protocol is in line to receive a huge upgrade so speed wont be a problem. A Tor backed p2p system would be hugely popular and therefore not need to worry about peer diversity. This could be a separate network or a hybrid network that only minimally uses the current Tor network (it must at first piggy back of Tor though). This new network could configured to help the current Tor network deal with network killing bandwidth surges.
The beauty is that Tor would become massively popular while still being able to steer clear of bad press as ricochet or its fork is not directly affiliated.
Please don't JUST criticize, make the idea better!
I do not know if a p2p will
I do not know if a p2p will not spoil the beauty of Ricochet ...
A fork especially written for this particular purpose could be a better idea.
( why not a seedbox sharing our torrent as hidden service through this fork ? )
i suggest the possibility of using gpg message (copy & paste is not possible) , so every message even saw (you write in clear text) could not be read.
Unfortunately , i do not think it be possible except maybe with a special plugin embedding my key (one or two ?) and public key (how many maximum ? ) ...
All these improvement/idea/suggestion could break maybe the quality of the app so, let's stay prudent..
This is all too much really.
This is all too much really. In order to remain anonymous one must have adequate security. Anonymity relies on security. Security however, does not rely on anonymity.
If a site wants security without anonymity, then naturally they want a "secure service".
If a site wants anonymity, then they obviously want an "anonymous service" (which relies on security).
Wanna brand it with the name Tor? Just add it to the beginning of each of the above (i.e Tor secure service, Tor anonymous service).
Calling these services anything else will have a greater chance of confusing the uninitiated. The term anonymous has from my understanding the connotation of something secure and or revolutionary. The desire to have ones identity unknown for fear of retribution by the corrupt and those with great power.
Onions, leeks, potatoes or any other niche name is probably far too cryptic for the average person.
News broadcasts all over commonly promote the use of anonymous call-ins in regards to reporting crime.
Time is ticking people. This is being over-thought. As the popularity of Tor grows by means of all of this outreach we subsequently expose this term "Hidden" to a greater populous.
They then by word of mouth tell others about Tor and its "hidden services" without all of the necessary contextual data. Now confused and unwilling to ask for more information for fear of a bruised ego or just laziness begin to formulate misconceptions that then devolve into disinterest or hatred.
Those same people the go on to spread informational garbage. This can have a profound effect. Merely speaking about Tor can irrationally become social taboo. Hearsay and negative rumors spread exponentially faster than the truth.
Outreach is unfortunately the catalyst.
* This is all too much
* This is all too much really.
I disagree : it is not about tor or hidden service ; it is irrelevant.
let's take two examples ; gaming on line & private chat.
1° take a gaming craphic card on private Lan and you have both (anonymity & security) without to be connected at the net but the protocol most of time is proprietary and you can be hacked/recorded.
2° go to a paying service private chat and you have both (anonymity & security) but you are /protected/censored under survey and you can be infiltrated/banned.
Anonymity and security are not a "service" and both are independent ... or linked together according on the will of the dev_admin : it is not always a matter of conception or idea or coding but also an compromising option for a paying service.
Usage of such service is at your own, reporting crime or using as a fun tool.
Tor & hidden service does not (afaik) need "the necessary contextual data" ... every body can use it like they wish without to be concerned by the war/crime/news/underground or your private life ... but it is true that the user must be educated and learn by himself how to use it correctly for not be exposed at a real danger.
I'm unsure of what is meant
I'm unsure of what is meant by all of this as most of what you said was not written clearly.
As for 1, LAN is a poor example. The anonymity is achieved by the locality, but all those involved are clearly not anonymous. Security can also be more easily undermined by local peers with malicious intent. First example == doesn't seem to work.
For number 2, I can almost see a clear argument forming based on what follows it.
When the two terms are applied to current Tor hidden services they are mutual and not independent. Tor by it's very nature seeks to achieve both anonymity and security. The words anonymous and secure are qualifiers that denote the nature of the protocol not a representation of the services provided. Upcoming protocols aim to provide security independently of anonymity. Having clear labels that are easily interpreted without negative connotations is IMHO the goal.
Tor is proudly open source and not proprietary. Trust isn't needed and therefore not a requirement for the aforementioned qualities to be achieved (only it's proper use).
Contextualizing is indeed necessary. Tor doesn't just pop into peoples mind with all of it's relevant information. It is instead discovered by various means and like all tools, prospective users must learn of it's capabilities and use cases. Without that, mass adoption would likely not rapidly occur, op sec errors would be far more prevalent, and a larger number of people would assume only the worst of Tor and it's hidden services capabilities. Contextualizing also helps the casual thinker and quells misinformation.
well, i was not speaking
well, i was not speaking about tor and i replied about the precedent post which the terms were confusing : anonymity & security ...
I said that another solutions well known existed ; e.g. Lan & Private chat.
you are in security because no one else can interfere in your Lan & in the Chat ; it is protected (strict rules) .
Your choice is respected ; you choose your correspondent.
You are in anonymity because no one wish to meet you in the real life.
And you can say all that you want whom you wish and share that you want.
The mode is clearly "without none responsibility, fun, personalized" .
But tor open a door where every body must be involved , concerned (... without rules ... ? almost together walking in the same way ... ?).
Is it this responsibility the worst of tor , the hidden evidence where a lot of users must be present for the benefit of happy few ?
Will hidden service not be the future of tor ?
Do i need as user a special morality fingerprint approved from who ?
Do i need as user a special immorality fingerprint approved from who ?
I still not understand the reason why so many people are so afraid about hidden service , bad rumors, reputation , misinformation or negative connotations, etc.
I am happy you wrote this " they are mutual and not independent. Tor by it's very nature seeks to achieve both anonymity and security " and that " The words anonymous and secure are qualifiers that denote the nature of the protocol not a representation of the services provided." even if most of people had yet understood that since a long time.
It is written clearly ,
It is written clearly , anonymity & security are not a tor concept and has been applied on gaming lan & private chat _as secure service & anonymous service_since a long time (support is great) .
Tor is not an opening toward a new frontier.

I nominate TorNet as a possible replacement name for hidden services. It's simple, to the point, and non-technical. People know what Tor is, but they don't necessarily know how Tor works and what Onion routing is. They probably don't even know what the acronym 'Tor' stands for, The Onion Router.
Keep it simple for all the non-techies new to Tor.

Bard Oymar
Bard was born in 1988 and grew up far from the mountains in Stavanger, Norway but soon discovered telemark skiing in the mountains of Røldal. He started to sneak away from school to go skiing as often as he could, and his riding skills grew along with the number of days spent on the mountain.
He has spent the past winters in the alps and competing in Norwegian freeride comps. Nowadays he is combining skiing with studying for a bachelors degree in philosophy, but he still sneaks away to go skiing. The summer is spent riding his downhill bike and in the autumn he is a full time student. He likes old literature, 90s hip-hop and gets inspired by snowboard movies. Bard is happy with life and in the future he wants to continue skiing, travelling and doing other fun things.

We wish we could tell you,
Ma that how much you mean to us....
We have no words to say about
how much we appreciate you...
how much we admire you...
how much we thank you
for everything you've done.
We love you so much Ma...
Happy Mother's Day
A mother is the truest friend we have,
when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us;
when adversity takes the place of prosperity;
when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us;
when trouble thickens around us;
still will she cling to us,
and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness,
and cause peace to return to our hearts.
Wishing you happy mother's day
Mom, without you, there would be no me.
Your love, your attention, your guidance,
have made me who I am.
Without you, I would be lost,
wandering aimlessly,
without direction or purpose.
You showed me the way
to serve, to accomplish, to persevere.
Without you, there would be an empty space
I could never fill, no matter how I tried.
Instead, because of you,
I have joy, contentment, satisfaction and peace.
Thank you, mom.
I have always loved you
and I always will.
For the best mom
who always had a smile for me
I know we may be far apart right now
So here's a great big hug and kiss
Happy Mother's Day

Lisa Hebert. Dining Room. September 13th , 2018.
Set up the Lights!
Dining sets are not complete when they don't have the best chairs to match the kind and the status of the dining table. Dining room chairs come in all color schemes such as: orange, red, and green as well as dark colors like black, brown and jangle green. When you are serious about buying the dining furniture, the local furniture stores may not have all the designs that you may be looking for. Buying online is an alternative. It is good to conduct a good online survey on what you are looking for, and the various price offers on the specific dining set. You may be surprised to learn that there may be a big price difference between the offline stores and the online furniture sale. The online sale may be cheaper but you should be keen to find out how the shipping is done since it may either be factored in the price of your purchase, it might be free within your country or it may be paid by you after the purchase of the dining room furniture. Additionally the internet resource may be the best for tips on how to arrange the dining sets, how to make the dining n set more appealing as well as how to take care of the dining sets. These are just but a few of the benefits that come with online purchase of the dining room furniture online.
Choosing the best dining furniture for your home is a wonderful investment that requires creativity, patience, and resourcefulness. After all, a dining room can be used for a variety of functions, and can be used by people other than the family members living inside the house. Therefore, it is imperative that you are able to choose dining room furniture that will stand the test of time, and will fit into any occasion or event that you choose to hold in it - whether it's a dinner party, a business meeting, or an intimate family dinner.

Mobile phone customers could be able to reclaim unexpected data roaming charges after one of the big network providers lost a court battle over data roaming.
T-Mobile, which has now merged with Orange and rebranded to become Everything Everywhere, has been ordered to pay back over £500 of roaming charges racked up by lawyer Angela Walsh.
The litigation partner at City firm Abrahams Dresden had called T-Mobile to cancel her phone contract, but had been persuaded to stay with the company after an upgrade was agreed.
However, data roaming capability was never discussed by the salesperson on the call, and when Ms Walsh flew to Australia she did not know that her new phone was capable of downloading data while she was abroad.
When she returned she discovered that T-Mobile had disconnected her phone and charged her £533.11. Judge Monty Trent ruled that the conversation on the phone between Ms Walsh and T-Mobile had concluded the contract between them, and terms and conditions would have had to be agreed then.
A spokesman for T-Mobile said that the company would not be appealing and added that this was an "isolated case".
"We respect the court's decision. This was an isolated case and we will reimburse the customer's charges," a spokesman said. It is understood that the bulk of the case was about the way the contract was sold to Ms Walsh, rather than the charges themselves.
However, many holidaymakers and business travellers have been hit with unexpected roaming bills when they returned from their travels. Last summer the European Commission introduced caps on the charges, but these only apply within Europe. Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission said that data roaming charges were "rip offs".
In Europe calls now cost a maximum of 29 cents a minute to make and 8 cents a minute to receive, with internet access costing 70 cents per MB. Theses charges will continue to fall down to 19 cents per minute for calls and 20 cents per MB for internet access by 2014. In addition, users will be allowed to choose a different operator for roaming which should bring about more competition.
Consumer protection will also be improved when leaving Europe as operators will have to send a warning when the bill for internet use approaches €50. However, there is no cap if you travel further than Europe.
Customers with lost or stolen phones have been hit with very high unexpected bills. The Telegraph reported on a honeymoon couple who faced a bill of £8,200 after their sim card was stolen without them realising. Although Vodafone wrote off half their bill as a goodwill gesture, they have to pay the rest.
While downloading one gigabyte on a smartphone in Britain can cost as little as £7.50 a month, the equivalent use abroad could cost several thousand pounds.
