I realise I've been either positive, or opaque, or stuttering so far. You know a bit about me. You know what I am doing. You knew, then, what I didn't, that my mission was no longer what I thought it was. I've shared some of my life in space, I've started telling you about Claire and maybe explaining a little better the whole story of how I ended up here, and I assure you there will be no loose ends, but since I cannot seem to get the computer to unblock this bloody 500 word count limit, and the emergency channel is even more narrow, if somewhat more targeted, you'll have to have patience and trust that the mountain will come to Allah eventually because today, after listening to a lot of rap music and watching a lot of rap videos, I've finally realised the one unexpected thing I never thought I would miss but which I now miss, and badly
I have never really danced much, certainly not in public, certainly not with other people, but as it transpires, when I listen to rap music and am on my own, I wave my arms about and stomp my feet. And in a similar vein, when I watch rap videos and they have breakdancers, poppers, whatever you call all those movements, well turns out if I'm on my own I copy the moves.
I think, on Earth, I've never really noticed because there's never been a scenario where doing this has accidententally shifted my equilibrium enough to make me physically fall over.
Once I realised what was doing on I tried to actually dance properly. Just can't do it. Maybe I'll learn, but it will never be earth dancing, the best I can do is something much slower and more ponderous, a graceless ballooning of moves.
Not all bad news. A combination of my enhanced calisthetics routines and the less stress means I can actually do floats, tornados and windmills, though not the headstand spins yet.
Worse though, even quite mild dance moves can have surprisingly negative effects. For example, a single spin, perhaps with a Michael Jackson leg kick preceding it, has the ability, if done at certain spots around the ship, to send me spin on my axis for 20 or thirty seconds before I slow down enough to risk using a foot to slow me down.
I know what you're all thinking. Couldn't you just not do that? And the answer of course is yes. But how would you feel if I told you you couldn't wiggle your butt and let loose when you heard Funky Town? Or you couldn't do the twist when you heard the Beatles tell you to shake it up baby now.
So, for wannabe astronauts let this be a lesson for you about losing what you never knew could be lost. I guess the clues were always there. You hear about space opera but never Space Ballet.

My apologies for not being as active as I probably should have, but I need to get this message out. I cannot talk about this to my normal group.
I know there are individuals on this forum who have special influence and abilities. This is a plea for help. I sense something terrible is going to happen on and to this planet soon.
I've quietly listened to our whistleblower testimonies over the years and set alerts for relevant articles, and watched for quite a few years now...
This may be "it". People who know what I'm talking about know what I'm referring to.
Cosmic events transpiring currently/recently:
- Total solar eclipse
- Irregular Sunspot activity leading to huge CME during a 'solar minimum' cycle
- NASA confirms Nibiru/planet X/ Planet 9, and is official looking for it
Natural Events transpiring currently/recently/projected:
- 2x Cat 4/5 hurricanes with 2x more 1/3 that can get fueled by water with warmer than usual surface temperature
- Projected 8.5 magnitude earthquake in Los Angeles soon
- Major Earthquake in Mexico
- Earthquake in Mexico may have triggered yellowstone supervolcano eruption that can cause volcanic winter
Sociopolitical Events:
- Instigation of potential civil war in US (this CANNOT be allowed to happen)
- Instigation of potential nuclear war (triggered by US/N Korea)
- Uprising and validation of facism
Is this too little too late? Is this being worked on behind the scenes? What is our projected probability of success in averting these crises?
I'm not even requesting that EBEs coming in and do all our work for us, but is there any way we can put out THE call for help by the right people?
I can see the probability of these events cascading into a timeline we don't want to manifest.
If Yellowstone erupts, life as we know it is forever changed. I hate that all I can do is type this message, but hopefully this reaches the right person...
I wonder if people (with positive vibration) meditating in mass will help influence probability in our favor?
(if you have negative things going on in your life right now the meditation could have the reverse effect)

On the other hand, there has to be a balance between being too personal and being so close to your story that you can't be objective.
What do I mean by this? Well, there are some writers who are so obsessed with writing their personal story that they can't get the objective distance to make their screenplay work.
When I've critiqued writers who write scripts that are too personal, they usually become defensive. "But that's how it really happened," they argue when they receive constructive criticism. Guess what? It really doesn't matter if that's how it really happened, unless one's writing a documentary script.
These writers were just too personally involved in the story to be able to look at it with the necessary objectivity of a professional "writer's eye." It's important to have distance from your subject matter in order to make the necessary changes and revisions to make your screenplay a great one.
However, when the wounds are too raw, writing about the personal experience can be like rubbing "salt in the wound." This is what happened to a middle-age man, whom I'll call Jack. He wanted to write a script about a recently widowed man struggling to be on his own. The main character, married for 26 years, was trying to be independent and deal with all of the problems besetting a man living alone. He had to learn to cook, clean and develop a new social life, while still experiencing the painful feelings of divorce.
Jack had a lot of problems trying to write his story and couldn't get a handle on it. I spoke with him and soon discovered that he was too close to the story, because he was actually going through the pains of his wife's recent death. Every time he'd write a particular scene he'd begin to re-experience his pain all over again. Since he wasn't detached and couldn't get enough distance to look at his screenplay objectively he couldn't write it. In reality, Jack was writing his actual life story as he was living it. This didn't make for an exciting script and his writing wasn't dramatic. It also wasn't healthy for him to write about such a painful situation so soon after it had occurred.
When other students began to give him suggestions he would respond defensively, "Well, that's the way it really happened." He was too emotionally involved with his own real life drama to maintain the necessary distance from his work.
I finally persuaded Jack to put his script aside for the time being and write about something else that wasn't so emotionally upset ting. He eventually chose another story that wasn't so personal, but one which interested him.
With his new story Jack was finally able to become objective and listen to advice from others as he worked on his script. He wasn't defensive and he made changes without getting angry. I began to notice a real change in Jack's personality as he worked on his new script. He soon began to enjoy working on his new screenplay so much, that it helped him forget a lot of his own personal pain. He became less depressed and more optimistic about his own future.
I know some day Jack will probably go back and write his original story about his wife's death. It could make a good script, but not until he is emotionally removed enough to write it and remain dispassionate about the subject.
Jack certainly isn't the only writer I know who eventually had to give up a story. There's really a fine balance between writing what you know and being able to keep the proper emotional distance from your work. Each of you should strive to look at your work as a professional writer and choose material that has meaning for you and which allows you to make changes when you have to without any resistance.
What is also important is for you to take a personal story and make it dramatic and entertaining, while putting your truth into it. You can only do this if you are passionate about your story, yet objective enough to change it if it doesn't work.

So one of Max's skills that is adorable is sitting. I know many of you are all like "Sitting isn't a skill." It is when you are a 1-year-old and mastering the art of sitting, standing, climbing, and so on. A few weeks ago Max started doing it all on his own; he'd walk to the stairs in the entry way of our house, cautiously back up to the bottom step, and then sit. For about a week if you wanted to find Max he was more than likely sitting on the bottom step of the stairs…just chillin'. Now he does it with ease but is super frustrated when all the adults sit outside on the patio because the chairs are too big for him and he needs help up and down. Once in, he sits and is happy as can be…but soon he wants down…then back up, then down…up…down… See a pattern here? Max needed a Max-sized chair.
Last night, using scrap wood and paint, I made Max's first chair. When my wife came into the garage to see what I was working on she cried…I guess it was on of those "Daddy Moments" that make Moms cry. For me it started with watching Max get frustrated looking for a place to sit and resigning to sit on the back step to the porch. I thought, "Why buy him a chair he'll outgrow in a year when I can build one for free tonight." So I went to work. After Kate cried it started sinking in that the chair was pretty special. One of those things that a kid could cherish. Maybe Max fixes it up one day and gives it to his kids? Maybe it's that thing…that special thing… Then again maybe he won't care.
This morning I fetched it from the garage and was pleased with the base coat of paint and initial work done. It needs a little more to be complete but this was a great start. For kicks I brought it into the kitchen to show Max. His response damn near made me cry. To say he loved it would be an understatement! Immediately he ran to it, pointed, and said "Chair!" I explained it was "Max's chair." and he squealed with delight. Max then sat in it…paused…and then clapped his hands while laughing with delight. He then put on a 10 minute sit & stand show for us. It was adorable.
So before you go to Walmart or Target and buy that factory-made chair…try making something yourself. Your kid won't care that it isn't perfect, they just care that you made it for them. They'll cherish it.

What is Bovine TB?
Live updates
Bovine TB 'could be a serious problem for Cumbria'
"We've got to realise that TB is potentially on our doorstep, it's now very prevalent in both Cheshire and parts of Lancashire, it's slowly moving it's way up the Country so it has the potential to be quite a serious problem for Cumbria."
New rules explained to Cumbrian farmers and vets
Around 20 farmers and 10 vets from across Cumbria have turned out to hear about the new testing rules regarding Bovine TB.
The meeting, organised by the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency and the NFU is being held at Penrith Rugby Club.
Cumbrian farmers meeting to discuss new rules
Cumbrian farmers are being invited to attend a meeting in Penrith to learn of new Bovine TB testing rules.
From January 1st a number of new rules come into force which will have a direct impact on farmers in the County.
The meeting, aimed at both farmers and vets will outline measures to try to remain TB free.
"There is concern that some farmers in Cumbria and Lancashire are not fully aware of what is coming in or the implications for them and their neighbours if TB is confirmed on their farm."
Bovine TB outbreak investigated
Tests underway to find source.
An investigation is underway to find the source of a Bovine TB outbreak in Dumfries and Galloway. Several cattle are being slaughtered after the disease was detected in a Dumfriesshire dairy herd. Tests are being carried out to determine how many animals are affected and to stop it spreading.
"Any outbreak of bovine TB is concerning but we can be confident that the testing regime in Scotland works well. The priority now is for the outbreak to be investigated to find out its cause and prevent any further spreading."
"A TB outbreak is a savage blow to the farmer whose herd has been affected. We still don't know how many of the 340 cattle kept in the same holding have been affected. It is important to remember that Scotland has a low rate of bovine TB cases and I hope this incident is isolated to this one herd."

This belongs to the bromeliad family of air plants. Native to the rainforests of Ecuador where it grows epiphytic - it sits in the trees and takes in moisture through its leaves. This is one of the most popular cultivated forms with long narrow evergreen leaves which are red at the base, with the most amazing pink bracts which can have violet blue flowers in the spring or autumn. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a black plastic pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from.

They are so easy to propagate, - as the plant matures it will produce baby offsets which can be potted up into a special bromeliad compost, ...a great way to increase your collection of these unusual plants.

Public Safety Canada says it's closely monitoring U.S. moves that would allow designs for 3D-printed guns to be posted online.
But it says in Canada a business licence is required to produce a firearm, regardless of how it's made.
It adds it's illegal to make or possess a firearm without the right licence and registration certificate.
Anyone who makes weapons or ammunition knowing they aren't authorized to do so could face up to 10 years in prison.
The legal wrangling in the U.S. around 3D-printed firearms dates back to 2013, when Texas-based Defence Distributed started publishing downloadable gun blueprints online.
The State Department ordered company founder Cody Wilson to cease, but the U.S. government settled with his company in late June, allowing the files to be posted again as of Wednesday.
Eight states have challenged the administration's move, arguing it threatens public safety.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Twitter Tuesday he's looking into the matter, has spoken to the National Rifle Association and that it "doesn't seem to make much sense!"

2016: The year we doubled the number of stand-up comedy specials. 2017: Doubling again?
If you're wondering why I haven't gotten back to you about your stand-up comedy album, then please allow me to remind you just what kind of comedy boom you're a part of these days. In 2015, TV networks and streaming services produced 44 stand-up hours (or specials). That seemed like a lot. In 2016, that number jumped to 85. So far in 2017, we've already heard about or seen 29 specials coming out this year for our collective viewing pleasure (not including the Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, and Dave Chappelle deals, which brings that number up to 34). And it's...Read More

It's amazing that no sooner does a happy couple announce their intention to marry when their euphoria is put on hold with the realization that the wedding must be planned. Choices must be made. Deadlines must be met. Guest lists must be drawn up.
Without a fairy godmother – or a wedding planner – it can be a daunting task.
Weddings are a special crazy quilt kind of celebration: Two individuals meet for a very personal celebration of their very private bond, usually in a very public place with loads of people looking on. What's more, the bride and groom are contemporary people coming together for a modern ceremony steeped in centuries-old customs.
Forget about believing that this wedding is exclusively "yours." By asking loved ones to surround you on that day, you draw in a whole cast of characters who will have lots of opinions on how it should proceed. Yet, at the same time, you should feel empowered to make your own decisions and generally steer the ship.
Planning the wedding is certainly part of the joy of preparing for marriage. But sometimes couples just don't have the time, the resources, or the interest to organize such an important celebration themselves and want to be spared the hassle.
The planning process can be practically worry-free with the help of a professional consultant. A consultant can save you time, worry, and stress, and help you avoid making costly mistakes. Most have extensive resources at their fingertips and are also skilled in the mechanics of party planning: choosing vendors, reviewing contracts, booking a reception site, or flying in tropical flowers in the exact shade of yellow the bride envisions. They know local price ranges for various services and how to map out a realistic budget.
Planning many weddings each year gives consultants the inside track on which local vendors are cream of the crop. A competent consultant will know the latest wedding trends, resources at different price ranges, and the florists, photographers, etc. who have proved themselves to be consistently dependable and outstanding in their fields.
Consultants can do as much or as little as you want – you choose. To find a good consultant, ask for referrals from friends. Also, caterers, florists, and photographers often work hand in hand with consultants and may be a source of honest, reliable information. (Above excerpts are from The Wedding Sourcebook Planner, Madeline Barillo)
I would consider it an honor if you took a few minutes to peruse my website. In it, you will see several recent weddings I have coordinated, read testimonials about my services, and get a feel for me and how I work. This is my 22nd year in business. I remember the first wedding I coordinated as if it were yesterday, and have grown many times over since then. I love a challenge just as much as I love tradition. Weddings are my passion. If you are a bride-to-be, call me for a complimentary consultation. If you are a vendor, please know that your brides are in good hands if you refer them to me. And if you are a previous client, it was my privilege to work with you. You are who make me good at my job!
Where do you go from here? Call me at (425) 427-2277. We have many things to discuss to get you started toward your wedding day.

G'day all,
Apologies for not being as attentive to the forum as I should have been. I've not had a great deal of opportunity to do much photography up here in the top end as I would have liked. But not to worry, there's still a few weeks yet so perhaps I should have a flurry of photographic activity while I can.
So, I'm set to return around the middle of November - I've got a new job that I'm starting which I'm looking forward to and am looking forward to being back in civilisation, as much as you could call it in Sydney!
Cheers and see you soon!

Show me examples of your "mature" opinions!
Jefferson? A damn slave owner and had it off with a couple of the female ones. Don't start giving me guff about principles when you live where you do. Your country bums about itself like clowns in a circus.
I would also remind that the British Commonwealth was originally from the old Empire and your lot could not do anything like that unless you corrupt a nation or invade it.
Jefferson? A damn slave owner and had it off with a couple of the female ones.
Scots proudly played their part in the abolition of the trade. But for a time we misted over our role as perpetrators of this barbarism. Many of Scotish industries, schools and churches were founded from the profits of African slavery.
ignorance and void your corner has.
.....Gt Britain was ahead of the USA in doing away with slavery..............What you practiced totally contradicted all those boasting great principles when you broke away and the so-called principled leaders did slavery. So decades after the British Empire did away with the thing you lot lived a constant hypocrisy and racial matters are still deeply flawed in the wonderful claimant of so-called principled country stuff. Clutch at daft straws but your history is damnable and still is.
Britain followed in the footsteps of the Portuguese in voyaging to the west coast of Africa and enslaving Africans. The British participation in what has come to be called the 'nefarious trade' was begun by Sir John Hawkins with the support and investment of Elizabeth I in 1573. (15) By fair means and foul, Britain outwitted its European rivals and became the premier trader in the enslaved from the seventeenth century onwards, and retained this position till 1807. Britain supplied enslaved African women, men and children to all European colonies in the Americas.The 'Slave Coast' came to be dotted with European forts, their massive guns facing out to sea to warn off rival European slave traders. Each 'castle' incorporated prisons or 'barracoons' in which the enslaved women, children and men were kept, awaiting purchase by the traders, who could initially only reach the coast at those times of the year when the winds blew in the right direction. The prisons - without sanitation, with little air - must have been hell-holes in the humid coastal climates. The death rates are not known.The trade became a very lucrative business. Bristol grew rich on it, then Liverpool. London also dealt in slaves as did some of the smaller British ports. (16) The specialised vessels were built in many British shipyards, but most were constructed in Liverpool. Laden with trade goods (guns and ammunition, rum, metal goods and cloth) they sailed to the 'Slave Coast', exchanged the goods for human beings, packed them into the vessels like sardines and sailed them across the Atlantic. On arrival, those left alive were oiled to make them look healthy and put on the auction block. Again, death rates (during the voyage) are unknown: one estimate, for the 1840s, is 25 per cent.Plantation and mine-owners bought the Africans - and more died in the process called 'seasoning'. In the British colonies the slaves were treated as non-human: they were 'chattels', to be worked to death as it was cheaper to purchase another slave than to keep one alive. Though seen as non-human, as many of the enslaved women were raped, clearly at one level they were recognised as at least rapeable human beings. There was no opprobrium attached to rape, torture, or to beating your slaves to death. The enslaved in the British colonies had no legal rights as they were not human - they were not permitted to marry and couples and their children were often sold off separately.Historian Paul Lovejoy has estimated that between 1701 and 1800 about 40 per cent of the approximately more than 6 million enslaved Africans were transported in British vessels. (It must be noted that this figure is believed by some to be a considerable underestimate.) Lovejoy estimated that well over 2 million more were exported between 1811 and 1867 - again, many believe the numbers were much greater. (17)Abolition of the trade by BritainEuropeans who were Roman Catholics often treated their slaves more humanely than those of the Protestant faith, perhaps especially the members of the Church of England, which owned slaves in the West Indies. (Roman Catholics did not deny Africans their humanity and made attempts at conversion, while British slaveowners forbade church attendance.) The enslavement of Africans was justified in Britain by claiming that they were barbaric savages, without laws or religions, and, according to some 'observers' and academics, without even a language; they would acquire civilisation on the plantations.In the 1770s, some Christians in Britain began to question this interpretation of the Bible. They began a campaign to convert the population to their perspective and to influence Parliament by forming anti-slavery associations. Slavery was declared a sin. According to some interpreters of William Wilberforce, the main abolitionist spokesperson in Parliament, it was this fear of not going to heaven that impelled him to carry on the abolitionist struggle for over 20 years. (18)Parliamentarians and others who could read, or had the time to attend meetings, were well informed about slavery by the books published by two ex-slaves, Olaudah Equiano and Ottobah Cugoano; slightly less dramatic and emphatic anti-slavery books were published by Ignatius Sancho and Ukwasaw Groniosaw. Equiano, like Thomas Clarkson (another truly remarkable man), lectured up and down the country, and in Ireland. (19)The Act making it illegal for Britons to participate in the trade in enslaved Africans was passed by Parliament in March 1807, after some 20 years of campaigning. Precisely why so many people signed petitions and why Parliament voted for the Act is debatable. (20) It is somewhat curious that many of the chief - including Quaker - abolitionists were importers of slave-grown produce. (21)Slave emancipation by BritainA few Britons - including the British Africans - were not content with abolition and campaigned for the emancipation of slaves. This was another long struggle. Among the most forceful were the women abolitionists, who, being denied a voice by the men, formed their own organisations and went door-knocking, asking people to stop using slave-grown products such as sugar and tobacco. The most outspoken was probably Elizabeth Heyrick who believed in immediate emancipation, as opposed to the men who supported gradual freedom. (22)This battle was won when Parliament passed the Emancipation Act in 1833; as the struggle was led by men, it was for gradual emancipation. But protests, often violent in the West Indies, resulted in freedom in 1838. The slaveowners were granted £20 million (about £1 billion today) compensation; all the freed received was the opportunity to labour for the paltry wages that had now to be offered.This Act only freed the enslaved in the West Indies, Cape Town, Mauritius and Canada. Slavery continued in the rest of the British Empire. Even the importation of slaves into a British colony continued - into Mauritius, obtained from the French after the Napoleonic Wars, where importation was not stopped until about 1820. (23)Emancipation in BritainAfricans have lived in Britain since they arrived as troops within the Roman armies. How many came here in more modern times, i.e., since the fifteenth century, has not been researched. They begin to appear in parish records of births and deaths from the sixteenth century. (24) Again, what proportion was free and how many were slaves is not yet known. The famous decision by Chief Justice Lord Mansfield in 1772 in the case of James Somerset, taken to court by activist Granville Sharp, merely stated that Africans could not be exported from the UK to the West Indies as slaves. There was no consistency in the many court judgements on the legality of slavery in Great Britain. (25)The efficacy of the ActsAs there was almost nothing done to ensure that the Acts were obeyed, slave traders continued their activities, as did the shipbuilders. Information about this was sent to Parliament by the abolitionists, some of the captains in the Anti-Slavery Squadrons and British consular officials in slave-worked Cuba and Brazil. Investigations were held, more Acts were passed, but all to no avail, as no means of enforcement was put in place in Britain. All the government did was to set up the Anti-Slavery Squadron - at first comprised of old, semi-derelict naval vessels, unfit for the coastal conditions. To enable them to stop slavers of other nationalities, Britain entered into treaties with other slaving countries. But these were also ignored. The slave trade continued, unabated.Britain not only continued to build slaving vessels, but it financed the trade, insured it, crewed some of it and probably even created the many national flags carried by the vessels to avoid condemnation. Britain also manufactured about 80 per cent of the goods traded for slaves on the Coast. (26).............

Recent analysis has shown that when preschoolers are enjoying they can be acting like scientists – primarily forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, figuring out probabilities, deciphering options and how issues work. From the Army to the Navy to dealing with emergencies to disarming situations non-violently, these games all focus on training for the true deal. ReadWriteThink is without doubt one of the foremost websites in providing online reading and writing activities for college students and lesson plan concepts for teachers. Fun website for academics, dad and mom, and youngsters featuring free academic video games, coloring pages, interactive e-books, holiday activities, musical postcards, crafts, worksheets, and more!
For this cause, many faculty methods within the United Stakes and the United Kingdom have begun to incorporate computer games as part of the academic curriculum. Kids use basic math operations – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division – as well as logic and downside fixing to fill a grid. If you've got questions about any of the video games, please be at liberty to leave me a remark within the guestbook and I will probably be joyful to help you out. While the extensive written material is more acceptable for high school college students, academics can use the animations for anatomy research with younger children as well.
So many children and teenagers have cellphones now that telling time on an analog clock is becoming a lost art! As properly as video games, don't rule out different board, electronic and puzzle video games. Great hub and I agree that games are a really efficient way to train about words. After the video games were completed, they used their cash to buy items for his or her Club Penguin Igloos.
It is a collection of interactive time telling video games, where youngsters match digital instances to analog clocks. Video video games are good as a result of they apply hand-eye coordination and dexterity. MAG is a web-based solely group based multiplayer shooting game which lets you battle it out in as much as 256 player matches. Animal Jam is a digital world for kids that has been rising quickly over the past few years and after some arms on time with the sport it's simple to inform why the game has been so successful. Stop the Clock , from Oswego City School District in New York, is great for enhancing pace. Abcya is the leader in free instructional pc games and mobile apps for youths.
The combat is non-gore and child-friendly, however there's quite a little bit of button-mashing involved, which younger kids may discover tedious and tough. Kid's tablets are a good resolution to stop your children from touching your delicate and fragile units, and to protect them from going online unmonitored or shopping by way of your necessary content. One of our goals as dad and mom and lecturers is that college students will get pleasure from studying and words, for their own sake, and not simply to please us. Games help take the pressure off, and create a nice expertise with language.

The video shows Nico Vink, Makken and Vinny T oozing class as they ride some frozen and pretty intense looking trails.
It's a masterclass in bike control with one of the most striking things being the level of their lateral hip movement. They're virtually never centred as they use their back wheels to scrub speed, steer and style it up.

Government panel expected to urge President to relax encryption export controls
A parallel proposal would also boost government development of key-recovery technology, the officials said.
These proposals are expected to reach President Bill Clinton's desk by the end of the month. They follow several earlier moves by the Clinton administration to relax government controls on encryption technology, which is needed to protect electronic commerce and boost growth of the Internet.
If the White House does not ease export rules for all companies, the export relaxing policy "is going to get jumped on all over" by software developers that won't benefit from the plan, said Ed Black, president of the Washington-based Computer and Communications Industry Association. "There will be a lot of people standing up and saying 'Hell, no!'"
"I'd be absolutely shocked" if government officials choose only to help large companies, said one executive from a multinational firm. "They want to do something that will help all exporters," he said.
Key-recovery technology is being promoted by the Justice Department, which wants to crack open secret messages exchanged among suspected criminals and terrorists.
Government officials say key-recovery technology can allow citizens and companies to reliably shield their conversations and data from eavesdroppers, while also allowing court-approved wiretaps.
Government officials are championing the use of key-recovery technology, partly by restricting the export of conventional, hard-to-crack encryption technology. But these restrictive export rules cripple U.S. software products, say executives from software companies such as Microsoft Corp., Redmond, Wash.
If the government does get major industry players to accept its preferred key-recovery technology, then it will have taken a big step toward the establishment of a worldwide encryption standard that could last for more than a decade, said one industry official who did not want to be identified.
Once an encryption standard is established, other companies' rival encryption technology would be marginalized, just as would a company trying to sell a new fax machine that can't send or receive letters to today's fax machines.
In July, Vice President Al Gore announced a revised government encryption policy that relaxed export rules, partly by transferring the task of processing export applications from the State Department to the Commerce Department.
Later this month, a working group will send a series of encryption-related recommendations to President Clinton, said Heidi Kukis, a spokeswoman for Vice President Gore.
The group, including senior officials from the Justice Department, the Commerce Department and the Central Intelligence Agency, has "been working with industry to develop a key-recovery system," she said. Kukis declined to discuss the group's recommendations.
"There are a lot of different options" being considered, said Clinton Brooks, a spokesman for the National Security Agency based in Fort Meade, Md.
The agency is responsible for developing the U.S. government's encryption devices, and for deciphering foreign encryption technology.
The main question is how government officials can persuade all industry, not just smaller companies, to develop and use key-recovery technology, Brooks said.
The plan to ease export rules for the multinational companies is being considered by the group. According to industry officials, the plan would allow the quick award of export licenses for companies wishing to link their international offices with encryption technology based on digital keys of 56-bit length or longer.
Current rules sharply restrict export of encryption products that use a key longer than 40 bits. For every extra bit added to the key length, the security of the encryption software is roughly doubled.
However, the working group may reject the plan, preferring instead to recommend postponement of a decision until after the presidential election in November or a relaxation of export rules for all companies, said industry officials.
The White House needs to make a decision quickly before Congress votes to relax export rules or before European officials establish a rival encryption standard, called Trust Third Party encryption, said industry officials.
If the working group recommends easier export rules for only the larger companies, "it is a big yawn," said David Morris, vice president at Cylink Corp., an encryption developer based in Sunnyvale, Calif.
"They've always allowed the larger American companies to export [sophisticated encryption]," he said.
The critical issue is whether the government will help software companies such as Lotus Development Corp., Cambridge, Mass., and Microsoft add sophisticated encryption to their consumer software, he said.
Unless the government changes its export rules, software companies will export themselves to "any country where there are no restrictions," he said.
Government officials say they are working with industry to develop a compromise on encryption policy, but "they keep narrowing who they negotiate with," said Black.
Established, multinational companies such as IBM Corp., Digital Equipment Corp., Maynard, Mass., and Unisys Corp., Blue Bell, Pa., which stand to gain from the proposed policy, "are no longer dominant businesses" in the infotech business, he said.
"They can try [to make a deal with multinationals], but to the extent that they claim they have a deal with the broader industry... that's where they would go wrong," he said.
The interagency group is also considering a plan to add funding for encryption research to a slew of federal computer programs. "They want to get some experience with [key-recovery].... It gets there quicker for less money invested," said Stephen Walker, president of Trusted Information Systems Inc., Glenwood, Md.
One candidate technology that could receive extra funding is TIS' Recoverkey technology, designed to let companies or the government recover keys to scrambled data, said Walker.
For example, TIS' Gauntlet product transmits a string of data once per day, allowing FBI wiretappers to unlock the scrambled messages, he said.

"Trans-Atlantic" by Hamish Spiers continues. We'll be running a new installment each week through summer so be sure to pop back each week.
By Hamish Spiers
Part VII. An Interesting Call
Well, that was the first and last time I traveled through one of the oceanic tunnels. They haven't gone anywhere but they're just relics now. Nowadays, most people use the new airplanes with their various means of propulsion or, if they've got the time and the money, they travel on a cruise ship.
However, not everyone's fallen in with the new trends. There's a man out there who designed a motor yacht that uses anything available to get it going. If it picks up speed, it glides over the surface of the water like a hydrofoil. If it really picks up speed, wings fold out and it gets airborne, flying five or ten meters over the water. It uses sails, wind turbines, solar panels and, if the man's not in a particular hurry, he lets it drift.
He never patented the design. He made one working model that he spent most of his life savings on and now he travels the world, going from place to place in quite reasonable comfort. Far more comfort than anyone in an oil–era plane or the new variety.
As for speed, he says he always gets where he's going in good time. His yacht may not be as fast as the new airplanes of today but it's never too far behind.
So if you're thinking of a trip abroad and you'd rather not shell out for a plane ticket or go on a cruise ship, ask your local port authorities if that man's stopping by any time soon. You'd be surprised. He gets around. And he always enjoys company. You won't be able to pick your own destination of course but he's always going somewhere interesting. After all, the world is still an amazing place.
So anyway, that was the end of my little string of experiences on the Trans–Atlantic. Soon after the scene in the dining car, I was in New York. But it's not quite the end of the story. About a year and a half after I arrived in New York, I got a call from Bob.
It was something, I tell you. Because after ditching his job at Trans–Atlantic, he was well on his way to becoming the celebrity he is today. But it turns out he remembered me. And he was also in the dining car when that worker came in and, since I stood up for the guy, he decided I was a decent fellow. And he tracked me down so he could catch up with me.
We met for lunch in a modest café.
"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked him. "Saving the world again?"
"Something like that," Bob said. "I was just wondering if you've figured out what I tried to tell you on the train. A friend of yours says you've been working on a short story about it."
I shrugged. "I have. But it isn't easy to change the big things. The powerful still exploit the rest of us, hoard resources and charge the rest of us a king's ransom for the bare necessities of life."
Bob just smiled as he listened.
"And the people in government won't regulate the madness 'cause that would tick off the people who funded their election campaigns."
"So?" Bob prompted me.
I smiled back. "I guess we can't rely on the governments of the world to make things better."
Bob nodded. "That's a start." He then pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and passed it across the table. "Here. I printed this out for you."
"What is it?" I asked.
"It's a little story. I thought you might like it. Do you remember that stuff in the news a couple of years ago about Marakaz?"
Marakaz – the young country not the instruments with similar sounding name, and not to be confused with Mauritius, Mauritania or Madagascar – came to the world's attention after the last global financial meltdown. About six months before I left Amsterdam.
Most governments went through the usual routine. They bailed out the people responsible for the mess and made the rest of the population pay for it. But in Marakaz, something interesting happened.
The president of the country outlined his austerity measures. People from the poor and middle classes would pay levies on top of their medical expenses, wages would be slashed… all the usual measures. But the people rejected them. The debt was not theirs, they said. It belonged to the bankers and the stockbrokers and was their problem. A large crowd blocked the entrances to the houses of congress and prevented the president from entering.
He responded by calling on the highest ranking member of the police force to disperse the group, a grizzled man in his sixties who'd been through a lot in life, including a stint in the military. In the president's mind, he was the man for the job. So you can well imagine the president's surprise when the man said, "No. I won't disperse the people."
The president said to him, "Do you know who I am? I am the leader of this whole country."
And the man replied, "You're not a leader. You are a servant. And not a very good one. With the people's consent, you will be dismissed and we will run the country without you."
The president was furious and he called in the army. To his chagrin however, the army backed the police and the people. It seemed they had more in common with the people than the bankers and the stockbrokers.
A temporary government was then formed and the president, along with the bankers and the stockbrokers, were deported.
"You'll regret this," the president said to the people before he stepped onto the plane that would take him away from Marakaz forever. "Without my guiding hand, this country will go to the dogs."
Those in the temporary government then pondered what form their nation's future government should take and it was decided that a draw would be held every three months. Ordinary citizens would be selected and asked to come forth and participate in a committee that would oversee any decisions that needed to be made. They would have to discuss, negotiate and come to agreement on the matters that affected the whole country. And a new committee would be selected every three months.
It worked. And life in Marakaz continued as normal, except without the anxiety that comes from having someone threatening the entire populace with austerity measures. Then the central committee was replaced with smaller committees that served cities and towns directly, although all the cities and towns would still share ties.
To spectators on the other side of the globe, particularly those who viewed the events in Marakaz as a potential catalyst for sweeping world changes that could threaten their own immense power and wealth, this was interpreted as a sign of weakness. In their minds, it proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the people of Marakaz were incapable of governing themselves. It was in their view the beginning of the end.
Many media groups, with strong financial ties to these wealthy spectators, took great delight in ridiculing the people of Marakaz and holding them up as an example to everyone else, a warning about what would happen if they tried to usurp the authority of the wealthy elite and the governments who were in bed with them.
For a while, the blitzkrieg of propaganda had the desired effect but only for a while. Reports began filtering back to the global community that Marakaz was getting on just fine. In actual fact, Marakaz was thriving.
Then questions started flying in. How did the people maintain their infrastructure? Who ran the farms? Was the whole place now a hippie commune with everyone living in tents?
One journalist decided to stay there a year and answer some of these questions. And Bob gave me the story he brought back.

As I noted in my post of September 16, 2012, I have been fortunate enough to receive a copy of the book "From Craigantlet to Monte Carlo" which is a book about the rallying career of Ronnie Adams. Ronnie Adams' rally career was highlighted by winning the Monte Carlo Rally in 1956 in a Jaguar. In addition, I got further information about Ronnie Adams from his son, Kenneth Adams, who lives in Connecticut.
Ronnie Adams in a Jaguar Mk. VII Winning the 1956 Monte Carlo Rally
What is clear from the book is that Ronnie Adams was a winner – right from the start. His first event was the Craigantlet Hill Climb in 1936 which he won in his MG when he was 20 years old. As with many drivers of his era, World War II which began in Europe in 1939, sadly stole about 10 years from his motor sport career.
The other aspect of Ronnie Adams' racing career is that he was an amateur. He was a family man with four kids and managed the family textile business in Belfast. Kenneth Adams noted that Ronnie Adams had limited time to take part in racing and rallying events plus no time for any serious practice. The only practice that Kenneth recalled was when his Dad drove the kids to school, on family trips and on vacations. Apparently some of these trips were taken quite briskly. It should be noted that Ronnie Adams rallied mostly in saloon, family-type cars, as he quite often rallied in his only family car. As a result, these were the cars that he was most familiar with.
Frank Bigger, Derek Johnson, and Ronnie Adams – The Winning Team From The 1956 Monte Carlo Rally
Despite these limitations on time and rally cars, Ronnie Adams rose to prominence in the British rally scene. This resulted in international opportunities for Ronnie Adams in what I would consider the top three rallies of that era – the Monte Carlo Rally, the Alpine Rally, and the Safari rally. For a variety of reasons, Ronnie Adams raced and rallied for a number of different manufacturers – Jaguar, Rootes, Ford, Rover, Mercedes-Benz and others. What is also clear is that when he was part of a team of cars, Ronnie Adams was usually the fastest.

The book about Ronnie Adams, "From Craigantlet to Monte Carlo", is not a big book, but it was a very interesting read about a great era in rallying. If anyone wants to purchase a copy of this book, please let me know. I can put you in touch with Kenneth Adams, who still has a few copies of the book.

Funny Black Friday Quotes To Share On Facebook, Since The Joke's On All Of Us
In two days, Americans all over the country will sit down together to eat and give thanks for their good fortune. And then the next day, they'll swarm their local malls and Targets in unruly hoards, in the merciless ritual known as "Black Friday." I've collected funny Black Friday quotes here, because if we don't laugh about our national holiday celebrating mass consumerism, we'll probably cry about it, right into all of the heavily discounted and completely unnecessary electronics we just bought.
Black Friday is a polarizing day — some people adore it, and really just approach their Thanksgiving feasts as necessary fuel for the take-no-prisoners, gladiator-style shopping spree that starts in the wee hours of Friday morning (or on Thanksgiving itself). Rather than dread the insane crowds that gather outside the doors of their favorite big box stores, these intrepid warriors find that the brutal struggle to get their on-sale gaming systems and flat screens makes their ultimate victory especially sweet; their discounted high-ticket items look all the shinier for being burnished with the blood and tears of other, less successful shoppers.
And then there are the folks like me, people who would rather lose a vital organ than go anywhere within a 10 mile radius of a Black Friday sale, who would rather retreat to the depths of the cruel wilderness and risk being eaten by wolves than attempt to get an Apple Watch at a discount on November 25.
OK, so apparently, in my mind, Black Friday happens in Westeros.
Whichever camp you fall into, please enjoy these fun memes, tweets, and quotes about Black Friday and holiday shopping:
1. May the odds be ever in your favor.
2. People do like comparing Black Friday to films about dystopian futures, don't they?
3. They really do.
4. This person is... not wrong.
5. The allure of a good deal.
A bargain is something you can't use at a price you can't resist. — Franklin P. Jones
6. Strategy.
Never dig in the bins. The bins are for suckers. — Jane the Virgin
Clear eyes, full carts, let's shop! — Jane the Virgin
7. Oh God, parking.
Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space. — Dave Barry
8. Um, what's a Zhu Zhu Pet?
Black Friday, the official kick-off of the Christmas shopping season, in which parents prove that they love their kids by trampling each other to buy the last Zhu Zhu Pet. — Stephen Colbert
9. Black Friday and Your Patriotic Duty.
10. Sounds about right.
11. It's not going to be pretty.
Good luck out there, brave shoppers!

Guess Since WORD's out Attorneys are Stalkers, Perverts and BDSM Freaks, They Figure TIME to COME OUT of the CLOSET – Harvard's Kinky Sex Club!!Leave a comment
2012-11-29 by Diana fka Desi Foxx
EDITORIAL: You've got to understand that the bigger this movement to bring BDSM and torture to our youth, women are no longer safe at any of these establishments. This is a CALL OUT for freaks, perverts and sexual predators to prey on anyone who goes there thinking they are learning how to expand their sexuality which is the porn industry's BIGGEST CON/SCAM/LIE on the entire World The HARDCORE SEX AND PORN ADDICTS are in charge of this mission and THEY WANT YOUR CHILDREN. They want to expand your sexuality to expand child porn, prostitution and other sexual abuse of children all around the World!
I met plenty of them while in Porn Valley. I've spoken to 1000s of men who look at and use porn and other sexual services, some who want help to stop now that they're addicted to this EVIL. I've dealt with some really nasty, twisted addicts along the way and my stalkers are evidence of what porn addicts will say and do to destroy others through their own sickness. Expect rape, murder and missing girls to be the norm around this college campus. Harvard just became KINK.com, Part II. Welcome to where your kids are headed if you don't ALL FIGHT BACK!!
Mainstreaming violent and obscene sex acts put every man, woman and child on Earth at risk. I've dealt with 1000s of these guys (and women). They are leading our entire World straight to Hell!! We're already on our way thanks to the last 4 years under Democrats who are pimping Americans to the World. No doubt in my mind about that!!
Published November 29, 2012 – FoxNews.com
And you thought the only thing they whipped was the SAT.
Harvard students who have bedroom proclivities that would make their parents' faces go crimson will soon be able to share the details – in a school-sanctioned club for scholars who like kinky sex. An informal group that calls itself "Harvard College Munch" began meeting last year in the dining hall to discuss the sexual ties that bind them, and it is on the brink of gaining recognition from the school's Committee on Student Life.
"Pretty much everyone who joins this club always thought they were alone."
– "Michael," a Harvard student and kinky sex enthusiast
The committee expects to approve the group, along with 14 other student organizations, on Friday, The Harvard Crimson reports.
For charter members, such as one the school paper identified only as "Michael," the recognition means future generations of students will be free to talk among themselves about all their nocturnal adventures.
"It's a little hyperbolic for me to get teary-eyed and paternal about sophomores, but it's really a joy to see the experience they will have now," Michael told the Crimson.
In joining other student organizations, such as the Harvard Undergraduate Mathematics Association and the Harvard Undergraduate Maternal Health Initiative, the new, 20-member group will be allowed to apply for grants, openly recruit members and promote their, um, events.
"If you come to campus and you have the sexual interests we represent, you may not even suspect that such a group exists," Michael told the Crimson, adding that recognition "shows we are being taken seriously."
Harvard spokesman Jeff Neal said the school recognizes more than 400 independent student organizations, and the groups are required to submit an organizational constitution and agree to the school's nondiscrimination and anti-hazing policies. Then, their fate is decided by a committee composed of students and administrators.
"The college does not endorse the views or activities of any independent student organization," Neal told FoxNews.com. "Rather, it ensures that independent student organizations remain in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Handbook for Students."
A woman who went by the name Mae told the Crimson the group has provided her with a comfortable environment to discuss her sexual interests.
"I didn't think that anyone was even remotely interested (in kink) on campus," Mae said. "It's a community where you can feel safe, and you can feel comfortable talking about (kink)."
The established club now means that heartland valedictorians who harbor dark carnal secrets they never felt they could discuss will now be able to lean on the like-minded.
"Pretty much everyone who joins this club always thought they were alone," Michael said.

Large companies need to maintain a robust IT infrastructure if they want to thrive in the digital age, and they can't accomplish this without certified IT professionals. Luckily, traditional schooling isn't necessary to land an IT job; IT professionals simply need to pass their certification exams, and they can do so thanks to the wealth of training courses available. One such resource is this Ultimate IT Certification Training Bundle, which is currently on sale for $39.
Aspiring IT professionals need to consider which providers they'd like to earn their certifications from. This bundle contains 11 courses from CompTIA, Microsoft, and Cisco, with the latter two focusing on vendor-specific technologies. In this bundle, you'll find beginner level courses for the Cisco CCENT exam, as well as material for advanced certifications such as CompTIA Cloud+.
As we mentioned, a CCENT certification is intended for beginners. This bundle features a course on the ICND1 exam, a prerequisite for CCENT. This course covers basic topics such as how to install, configure, and troubleshoot small networks and how to implement Cisco routers and switches. Alternatively, CCENT can be skipped in favor of CCNA Routing and Switching, which requires passing both ICND1 and ICND2; this bundle also contains a prep course for ICND2.
Those who have earned their CCNA will need to pursue a certification such as CompTIA Security to advance in their career. This bundle contains a course on the SY0-501 prerequisite exam, which covers network security and risk management principles.
Once an IT professional has a solid understanding of network and security principles, they can look into advanced certifications to land a specialized role in project management. One such certification is CompTIA Project+, which trains readers on how to plan, execute, and close projects.
Each course in the Ultimate IT Certification Training Bundle costs $299, for a total of $3,289. However, you can find it in the NetworkWorld Shop for $39, or 98% off.

Billings VA Center relocating to MSU Billings campus
Will be fully operational in time to celebrate Veterans Day on Nov. 11
University Communications and Marketing, 657-2266
MSU BILLINGS NEWS— The Montana Veterans Affairs Division (MVAD) Billings Service Office will be relocating to the Montana State University Billings campus with goals to better serve state veterans and those actively furthering their education.
In a decision made jointly by Chancellor Dan Edelman and Montana Adjutant General, MG Quinn, the center will occupy suite 114 in the College of Education (COE), where Extended Campus was formerly located. Extended Campus moved to room 158 of the COE.
"The benefits of combining the university veteran education with state veteran support is a natural integration; they complement each other, providing area veterans with a comprehensive capability of veteran benefits," stated Chancellor Edelman.
This relocation will benefit MSUB by providing services to veteran students and helping them learn how to utilize and explore their higher education benefits. All veterans will be provided with a central location for all VA Veteran benefits such as claims, acquiring records, healthcare enrollment, home loan application, and educational benefits.
The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was formally signed and came into effect on Oct. 19 during a support agreement ceremony featuring Chancellor Edelman and Montana Veterans Affairs Administrator, Kelly Ackerman.
"Currently, the local office does not have enough room to expand," shared Ackerman. "We are excited about the move to a new location that will allow us to better serve veterans with additional office space, more parking, and unified service with the MSUB Veterans and Military Service Office directly across from us."
The MOA summarizes agreements between agencies and institutions within the State of Montana to optimize the use of resources and maximize opportunities to support veterans in Montana. It is designed to enhance, better coordinate, and be more efficient in support services, benefits and resources, and outreach capabilities for Yellowstone-area veterans, veteran family members, and currently-serving military members.
The MOA defines the general conditions under which MSUB will provide facility space, operational services, and general support utilizing the COE building on campus. The space will be located across the hall from the newly developed MSUB Military and Veterans Success Center which supports military members, veterans, and veteran families in obtaining the support and services they need with VA benefits, education needs, and life support issues.
The VA Center will occupy the new space beginning Oct. 29 and use the coming weeks to move in and resume business. The new location will be up and running by Nov. 9, just in time for the Veteran's Day celebration on Nov. 11.
For more information, contact Budget Manager for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management David Powell at email@example.com or (406) 657-1635.
