Objectives: The aim of the article is to provide critical success factors (CSF) that will enable the deployment of telemedicine in the cloud in order to improve health care services in developing countries.
Methods: A thorough literature review was performed of peer reviewed articles in order to identify possible barriers for telemedicine to be deployed in the cloud. Furthermore, the Technology Organization Environmental Model was used in order to group the barriers according to the various factors and, from this process, critical success factors were formulated for consideration.
Conclusion: Five critical success factors were formulated in order to implement telemedicine making use of the cloud in developing countries. These include having a national integrated plan for telemedicine; promoting best practices within a legislation framework; involving the end user; providing education to improve levels of telemedicine awareness amongst staff and patients, and addressing technological issues.
Despite the advantages mentioned in the previous paragraph, the uptake of telemedicine in South Africa has been slow (Van Dyk, Fortuin & Schutte 2012). Motsoaledi (2010) reported that only 34% of existing telemedicine sites in South Africa were operational. Some of the reasons provided for this poor result include the unreliable electricity supply which results in the unreliability of the technology, poor connectivity and low Internet bandwidth (Mars 2012; Jack & Mars 2008).
Other factors that have been reported in literature include a lack of sustainable finance to implement telemedicine infrastructure, and also a lack of skill to maintain the technology (Cilliers & Flowerday 2013). The aim of this article is to investigate cloud computing as a possible solution to some of the technological problems mentioned above. In order to accomplish this goal, a thorough literature search was conducted on the most popular academic databases: Pubmed, EBSCO, ProQuest and JSTOR. The purpose of the search was to identify relevant high quality studies that documented the barriers to the implementation of telemedicine in developing countries. For this reason, databases that were likely to yield original research in this area were targeted.
The rest of the article is structured as follows: The next section provides an overview of cloud computing, including the advantages, services provided and different deployment types available. This is followed by the barriers that have been reported to the successful implementation of cloud computing in various fields, whilst the section after that provides examples of various types of telemedicine projects that have been introduced in health care. From this the barriers are integrated with the Technology Organization Environmental (TOE) Framework with specific reference to telemedicine. Finally, the last section will identify and discuss the critical success factors (CSF) that must be considered if cloud computing is used to provide telemedicine services.
The main advantage of cloud computing is that it increases productivity and decreases the cost of Information Technology (IT), which was expensive prior to the invention of the cloud (ISACA 2009). Koch and Brakel (2012) identified various key benefits about why health organisations should make use of the cloud instead of traditional Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Some of these benefits of the cloud are listed below (Koch & Brakel 2012):
1. It reduces IT costs. Health care organisations can reduce the cost of IT infrastructure investments and on-going maintenance expenditures by paying only for the services they need.
2. It reduces implementation risks. Cloud computing can be deployed rapidly as the purchasing of hardware, licenses and software is not needed.
3. Flexibility is increased. The cloud provides more flexibility in the response and speed of health staff as they can access information and applications at any time, and from anywhere.
4. Health staff are enabled to focus on core areas – health staff can focus on patient care as the technology is maintained and provided by a third-party.
5. It improves scalability. Health care organisations only pay for the telemedicine services that they need. For telemedicine that could mean bandwidth, tailored telemedicine software programs or storage space.
The next section will introduce the various cloud computing services that are on offer.
• Software as a Service (SaaS): Amrhein and Anderson (2009) define SaaS as a model in which 'the consumer uses an application, but does not control the operating system, hardware or network infrastructure on which it is running'.
• Platform as a Service (PaaS): In this model 'the consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure, network, servers, operating systems, or storage; but the consumer has control over the deployed applications and possibly the application hosting environment configurations' (Baize 2011).
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): The IaaS model of cloud computing offers the user the capability to rent computing, storage, networks and other computing resources with the added capability 'to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications' (Baize 2011).
The SaaS service will be more beneficial to departments with little skill or capacity, whilst more mature departments may prefer the PaaS or IaaS service structures. The next section will investigate the deployment models associated with cloud computing.
The public cloud is also referred to as the external cloud where the 'infrastructure is made available to the general public' through web browsers, but offers limited customer control (Truong et al. 2012). In contrast, the private cloud systems emulate public cloud service offerings within an organisation's boundaries to make services accessible for one designated organisation. Private cloud computing systems make use of virtualisation solutions and focus on consolidating distributed IT services often within data centres belonging to the company (Gonçalves & Ballon 2011). The community cloud infrastructure is shared by numerous organisations. The community cloud is a more expensive option as compared to the public cloud, as the operational costs are spread over fewer user organisations than the public cloud. However, this type of cloud provides the benefit of offering a higher level of privacy, security and compliance. This is the type of cloud computing in which organisations are compelled to invest more trust, and adopt because of its safety features, especially for organisations that deal with critical or fragile information (Baize 2011). The last cloud computing type is called the Hybrid cloud and:
is a composition of two or more clouds (private, community or public) that remains unique entities, but is bound together by standardised or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability. (Baize 2011)
In order to integrate telemedicine beyond the borders of South Africa, a community cloud may be considered. Alternatively, a public or private cloud type can be used according to the budget and security considerations of the particular telemedicine project.
According to Schwab (2010), fear of vendor lock-in is a situation whereby a person using the cloud services cannot easily change to other technologies. Reliability concerns are one of the main reasons new users are reluctant to trust third-party cloud providers to store or process sensitive or personal information (Comninos 2011). This is especially important in the health context where patient data will be transmitted and stored by making use of telemedicine. Comninos (2011) further posits that reliability issues are closely related to connectivity issues, because the features of cloud computing makes use of the Internet as the main transporting device. This was previously also a concern for health providers, but with the increased network coverage in South Africa, it has now been addressed (Jack & Mars 2008). Performance concern is an additional challenge concerning cloud adoption in health care settings. The performance concerns of cloud computing for telemedicine are wide-ranging and include the availability of cloud related services in South Africa, awareness of the cloud, dispersal of the cloud, and the width and depth of cloud adoption (Malhotra 2010). Malhotra (2010) mentions some of the key challenges for performance improvement. These include the following:
• storage services
• scaling
• network services
• scheduling
• service level agreement templates
• optimal location of data centres and software components
• efficient SQL query processing
• architecture and process improvement.
Cloud computing is seen as inherently insecure. This is because security in the cloud is often intangible and less visible than many other forms of computing, and contributes to the perceived lack of control on the users' part. Despite these challenges, there are examples of successful telemedicine deployment in both developed and developing countries. The next section will provide a discussion about such examples.
• In Brazil a proposal was developed by the Federal University of Santa Catarina to employ wireless sensor networks which are used to monitor patients. The information obtained is made available in the cloud to medical staff and can be processed by relevant expert systems whilst stored there (Rolim et al. 2010).
• Melvin and Pranesh (2013) have designed an Immediate Medical Care Unit (IMCU) that is able to provide basic health care services to the rural areas in India. The IMCU is an interactive machine that collects data from the patient, such as blood tests and blood pressure readings. It also integrates this information with the existing patient's record, making continuous care possible. In order to perform these activities cloud computing is used to interconnect the different databases.
• Germany has introduced a health smart card for all insured patients. The smart card contains administrative information, electronic health records and medical data such as prescriptions and emergency information. A smart card can be used by patients who must consult with different health professionals in order to keep their medical information up to date. This would be useful in telemedicine as both the treating and referring health professionals will have access to this information via the cloud (Lohr, Sadeghi & Winandy 2010). In order to do this the information must be stored in the cloud. Whilst the International Organisation for Standardization has provided security and privacy guidelines for this process, the current challenge is the interoperability of the various systems that do exist (ISO 2013).
• Hsieh and Hsu (2012) developed a cloud computing based telemedicine application which makes use of a 12–lead ECG telemedicine service that greatly improved the current accuracy of reports in telecardiology. The readings can be viewed on both mobile and fixed devices connected to the cloud network, and have been reported to be convenient, efficient and inexpensive for clinicians in rural areas to use.
• Cloud computing enables researchers from different countries to collaborate as vast amounts of information can be stored and made available in this environment. The information can be analysed by researchers to provide guidelines for better decision-making, and new developments in treatment and medicine (Arphitha 2013).
• The Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), used for medical images in many hospitals, is experiencing scalability and maintenance issues resulting from the high volume of images that are taken daily. Cloud computing is considered to be a possible solution to this problem as images can be stored at lower cost, it provides high scalability and availability of images, and is recoverable in a disaster situation. Cloud computing can also be used in telemedicine as it provides the same advantages with the added benefit of specialist reporting in a short time period for the patient. This can be crucial in an emergency situation in the rural areas where no radiologist is available (Teng et al. 2010).
The next section will discuss the TOE framework as it relates to telemedicine and the cloud.
Reliability of cloud technology is important as it will be used in the health care domain. If connectivity and bandwidth are a problem, the asynchronous mode of telemedicine can be used, whereby a message is sent to a specialist to review an issue at a later stage or at their convenience. For this approach all that is needed is a basic computer with Internet connectivity and a camera (Singh 2009).
The cost of making use of cloud computing can be a concern as the technology must be integrated into existing IT infrastructure. However, once this has been implemented, the cost of maintaining the cloud is not a concern for the user. Similarly, the user only pays for the telemedicine services he or she requires and, thereby, saves money (Duhaime 2011).
Users of the cloud often mention that they perceive themselves to have less control over the services that the cloud offers, and the measures in place to protect their information than over other services. Mauch, Kunze, and Hillenbrand (2012) state that multi-tenancy is a key element to cloud computing and, thus, a 'one size fits all' approach is not suitable. They further acknowledge that architecture must be designed in such a way to allow for customisation for a specific user according to their needs, otherwise telemedicine will simply add steps to the clinical workflow and increase the workload of already overburdened health staff (Mars 2013).
Issues such as liability, accountability, licensure, jurisdiction, confidentiality, data security and the use of telemedicine in health technology across borders must be addressed as a matter of urgency. This is important as the patient is not in a face-to-face contact situation with the health care worker treating them, and they may never have any communication with the specialist responsible for the diagnosis or treatment plan (Cilliers & Flowerday 2010). Accepted practices include that the specialist provides a second opinion whilst the referring doctor will remain responsible for the patient. Where telemedicine is practiced across borders, this raises the question of licensure for the specialist (Motsoaledi 2010).
Similarly, there are privacy and security concerns surrounding cloud computing. Rosado et al. (2012) state that because cloud computing is a relatively new computing model, there are concerns about security at all levels (e.g. network, host, application and data levels). There are new challenges arising in cloud computing, some of which are principally exacerbated by the cloud models. Thus, the risk is directly dependent on the cloud service and cloud deployment model (Mauch et al. 2012).
Madhavaiah, Bashir and Shafi (2012) identify that cloud computing, as an emerging IT model, has only had an arguably short period to be developed into a fully formed paradigm. The availability and, therefore, choice and agility, of the technology remains limited. In the next section the CSFs that will address the identified problems will be discussed.
• technology: vendor lock-in; reliability; scale and cost
• organisation: change management; lack of control
• environment: security; accountability, licensure and agility.
CSFs are defined as the critical areas in which an organisation or the individual must succeed, in order to achieve their mission. CSFs also involve examining and categorising the impact of those critical areas (Salaheldin 2009). The following five CSFs are used to address the critical areas that will allow telemedicine services to be deployed, by making use of cloud computing in developing countries.
The CSFs presented in this section attempt to address the barriers that were identified by Duhaime (2011) to make use of cloud computing in order to deploy telemedicine services in South Africa. Table 1 shows how the CSFs can be mapped to the three contexts of the TOE framework.

The airport has, since October 8, 2018, witnessed increased commercial flights locally and it's expected to emerge one of the busiest hubs on or before January 2019.
Executive Assistant to Governor Okowa on Communications, Dr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, while giving the hint in a statement, said the Asaba Airport would attract all major domestic airlines in the country.
The reason for the projection, he said, was the result of the world-class facilities that have been put in place to make the airport one of the best in the country.

He noted that Okowa administration met the airport in a shambles such that it was downgraded by the Federal Aviation authorities as a result of the bad runway and other sub-standard facilities installed by the previous contractor that handled the project.
Oghenesivbe further disclosed that the contract was later re-awarded to Setraco Nigeria, which was able to deliver within an agreed time frame, resulting in the upgrade and re-branding of the Asaba Airport.
He disclosed that a popular airline made her "welcome back" maiden flight into Asaba on October 8 this year as a proof that the facility is now fit and certified to accommodate wide-bodied aircraft like any other international airport around the world.
Oghenesivbe further enthused that the socioeconomic implication of the resumption of full-scale commercial flights in and out of Asaba airport is the creation of more jobs, more revenue generated through airport tax, overnight parking, airport advertising services as well as increased turnover for hoteliers, airport taxi operators and grand staff doing business at the airport.
"The travelling public is now to enjoy a variety of air services as more domestic airlines have signified their interest to fly in and out of Asaba from different local and international airports.
"Governor of Delta State is excited about the return of Air Peace Airlines, and other airlines have been earmarked to resume flights into Asaba Airport, in the near future.
"Okowa administration remains focused and determined to fulfil all electoral promises made to Deltans in 2015, which is why Dr Okowa and his team have been working round the clock.
"The governor shall continue to manage the state financial resources in the most prudent and responsible manner for the benefit of all Deltans.
"Asaba Airport shall soon become a major hub in the country as a result of her strategic location, serving Delta and neighbouring South-East states.
"Cargo Airplane shall soon resume flights into Asaba Airport, making it more convenient and cheaper for South-East business people and importers to fly their products and goods into Asaba and spend little for haulage from Asaba Airport to any of the South-East states," the governor's noted.
It will be recalled that recently, the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo's presidential executive jet flew into the Asaba Airport to attend the 2018 Guild of Editors annual event.

For the first year or so of my son's life, he was very, very clingy and refused to go to anyone but me. As a result, going out for a traditional date night was pretty much out of the question for quite some time. (The one time we DID try to go out, we got the call to come get him before the food even arrived…)
Luckily for us–and for you!–it is possible to have a fun and romantic date night without even leaving the house. Whether your children are little, you don't have a sitter or money is tight right now–you no longer have an excuse. Here are 16 at-home date night ideas you and your honey are sure to love!
*This post contains affiliate links. See my full disclosure policy for details.
1. Have a Video Game Marathon
For a fun and energetic date night, bust out the old video games and enjoy some friendly competition. Work together to complete the levels, or battle it out for a prize of your choosing.
2. Watch a Movie
Of course, if you're tired after a long day of caring for a fussy baby, date night doesn't have to be complicated. Why not pop in movie you both love and snuggle up on the couch with some popcorn? My husband and I watched this movie recently, and it was really good!
3. Go Online Shopping
Do you need to finish your Christmas shopping? Do you have a birthday coming up? Do you just love shopping? Shop from home right from your computer. Get another item crossed off your to-do list, have fun pretend shopping for items you could never afford, or have a contest to see who can find the most ugly and ridiculous items possible!
4. Snuggle Up Under the Stars
Or, if it's a warm night, why not take the party outside? Snuggle up on a blanket in the backyard and enjoy the stars. The peace and quiet will be so relaxing.
5. Cook a Fancy Dinner Together
Tired of eating chicken nuggets and corn? Feed the kids early, and save the fancy dinner for you and your sweetie after the kids are in bed. Steaks, lobster, lamb chops… make it as much of a feast as you can afford! Don't forget dessert as well.
6. Have a Picnic Indoors
Sure, a picnic at the park would be nicer, but sometimes as parents, you just have to make do. Spread out a blanket on the living room floor and enjoy all your favorite finger foods. It'll be fun!
7. Get to Know Each Other All Over Again
Remember back in your dating days when you could talk and get to know each other for hours and hours? Even if you knew all the answers to each others' questions, those answers have probably changed. Get to know each other all over again with a book like this one: 1001 Questions to Ask Before You Get Married. Your answers might just be eye-opening.
8. Play Cards
My husband and I used to play the card game, Speed. It's a very fast moving game that requires very little time or set-up, and it's perfect for two players. If you don't know how to play, click here to find instructions for how to play Speed.
9. Read to Each Other
Reading is very relaxing–even more so when you read to each other. Snuggle up in front of the fireplace if you have one, pull out a book you will both enjoy, and take turns reading aloud to each other. If you're looking for a good book recommendation, I highly recommend this one–it's a must read for every married couple! I just read it myself lately, and it was phenomenal!
10. Take a Bubble Bath Together
If your bath tub is big enough, a couple bubble bath is the perfect romantic at-home date night idea. If it's on the small side, you could take turns giving each other a bath or just take a shower together. Don't forget the bubble bath kit for ultimate relaxation!

Snapchat has easily become one of the most frequently used social media platforms by millennials (it has about 150 million daily users), even influencers and celebrities alike. Snapchat founders Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy saw the need to make something to convey emotions better. It aims to further improve the way its users communicate and express themselves in a form of a Snap and their personal narration of their day in a form of a Story. It has various interactive filters for selfies called Lenses that could make you either cute or funny (remember the popular dog filter?). Its geotagging feature comes in handy as well if you want to let the world know where you are.
How Snapchat operates as an image sharing platform is truly game changing: a photo or video uploaded publicly only plays for a maximum of ten (10) seconds which only lasts for twenty-four (24) hours. Then it will be gone forever—or so anybody thought.
Photos shared on Snapchat could also be in a form of a private snap. Teens like to use the app because of its unrivaled privacy compared to other platforms. This is exactly why parents may have the tendency to get paranoid over the use of this platform. Unknowingly, it encourages inappropriate behavior such as cyberbullying, sexting, and rampant exchange of nude images because of this format of image sharing. With its latest feature called Discover, it allows users to view Snapchat channels that are popular and have high ranking. Such accounts or channels, however, may have content that is inappropriate and/or offensive.
Some parents may feel the need to supervise their kid's activities online. Up to this day, it is still a debatable issue whether it is socially acceptable for parents to know how to spy on kids using Snapchat.
Is there really a Snapchat spy app? Yes, there are third-party applications offers an in-depth tracking service to cater to worrying parents. One of them is Mobile Spy or also known as Cocospy. It is your best Snapchat app for all popular devices used today. It is compatible with most operating systems such as iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows.
Accurately Traces Every Multimedia File Sent Or Received
Cocospy will be keeping track of every activity your kid performs online.
Self-destructs On Snapchat, But Not On Cocospy
Cocospy will be able to retrieve the actual photos or videos as well as messages sent and received even if Snapchat has already deleted it from the feed. These retrieved files can be accessible anytime in the web control panel.
Track Your Children's Snapchat At Your Own Convenience
Even if you're at home or at work, you may still monitor your children through online control panel which is accessible 24/7. It acts as a remote spy on Snapchat. Furthermore, you may be able to track their call logs, messages, emails, instant messaging apps, website logs, and so much more.
Value For Money, Guaranteed
Even if parents are more than willing to spend much on a monitoring app, it is valued at a price that won't have to sacrifice anyone's family budget. All it takes is $39.99/month to keep your children safe online. You will be amazed by how much your dollar could stretch not only with its features but also with its superior 24/7 customer support.
10-day Refund If You're Not Satisfied
In case you're not happy with Cocospy's services, you will receive a refund. It's highly unlikely, though, it is one of the best monitoring softwares yet that made millions of happy customers put their full confidence into its services.
Parents, don't risk your children safety online especially on Snapchat. Act fast, act now. Purchase an Ultimate subscription from Cocospy today.

Rio Helmi
The recent cancellation of all events at the Ubud Writers' and Readers' Festival directly related to 1965 felt like a throwback to the days of Soeharto's New Order iron-fisted rule. The alleged communist coup attempt on the 30th of September 50 years ago, in which seven high ranking military officers were murdered, unleashed a horrific, near-incomprehensible backlash that resulted in the massacre of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. Millions more ended up being incarcerated due to being "implicated in the communist coup" or having their lives ruined by simple association with those allegedly implicated.
The festival is the biggest of its kind in Indonesia and has a significant international following. Initially official concern was focused on the scheduled showing of Joshua Oppenheimer's film The Look of Silence, which hasn't received the Indonesian film censor board's approval. However the alarm bells at the regional level were set off, and the fire spread to all sessions connected to the events of '65. After a week's deliberation the verdict came down. Clearly the cancellation, ostensibly deliberated on and executed by a sub-provincial joint task force, received at the very least a nod – if not encouragement – from those up on high. The message seems not only for Indonesians to toe the line, but to remind the outside world that this is an Indonesian affair, and that our government will not bow to outside pressure.
This censorship is seen by many as an ongoing attempt to bury the past by those who have vested interests in doing so, including those who argue that we shouldn't "rouse the sleeping tiger" by reopening old wounds. The mantra they chant is that we should "simply move on". Bitterly opposed to this is a minority who feel that the government should acknowledge and atone for the horrors that supposed communists and their families suffered during and after '65. But of greater concern is what this means for the future: that an unresolved matter of such gravity and significance should be so vehemently suppressed bodes ill for the future of Indonesia.
Seventeen years of change and growing freedom of expression have intervened since Soeharto's fall. '65 is no longer as taboo a subject as before. Yet limits to government and military tolerance to open discussion of the events of '65 remain firmly in place. Earlier this year, President Joko Widodo ("Jokowi") was rumored to be planning an official apology to all victims on both sides of the violence on the 30th of September. Then shortly before the actual date more rumors, quite possibly intentionally fabricated, swirled through social media that the president was set to simply "apologize to the communists". Whether intentional or not, it raised hackles.
Eventually on the 30th, when questioned, Jokowi made a brief, cold, and pointed public statement saying that he had no intention of offering apologies to anyone regarding '65. That he only made this statement then and not during the weeks beforehand gave rise to much speculation. But more significantly, the fact that such rumors, true or false, could get such traction in printed and social media seems a hangover from the New Order era during which most news was to be read "between the lines".
Proponents on both sides of this smoldering issue in Indonesia's political psyche put forward starkly contrasting arguments. Both sides reference the past. One side is emboldened by decades of exercising heavy handed control with little censure, the other hardened by the frustration of suffering brutal repression and restriction. A journalist friend tells of seeing a billboard erected recently near the regional military command in Denpasar urging the public to "be wary of KGB", an ironic acronym for Komunis Gaya Baru or 'new style communists'. Reports came in from Malang recently that the Pemuda Pancasila (a youth organization deeply implicated in the 1965 affair) had posted banners with similar messages. Under these conditions even "simply moving on" seems unlikely.
What these conditions do ensure is that the status quo will continue. The reality is that the 1965 affair is far more nuanced and complicated in its origins and its outflows. To explain the complexities of the bitter rivalries between the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI, third largest in the world at the time), and the military and Islamic organizations combined would take too much space here. The involvement of Cold War superpowers (and their notoriously devious intelligence agencies) was also a hugely important factor. Suffice it to say that Indonesia in the mid '60s was a tinder box doused in gasoline, waiting for whoever was devious enough to spark it.
It is also important to note that prior to '65 there was a sustained spate of extreme provocation from the Left, who were jockeying for controlling power over the archipelago. We can even see it in the context of literature – given that this all unfolded in the lead-up to UWRF. Take the case of internationally renowned author Pramoedya Ananta Toer. Pramoedya was internationally lionized for his courage and tenacity during his cruel incarceration in Soeharto's gulag, for his commitment to telling the stories of the suppressed. Yet Pramoedya in his day was deeply implicated in the intimidation of Indonesian literati through LEKRA (The People's Cultural Institution) which wielded tremendous power and of which he was prominent figure. One Indonesian writer even recalls Pramoedya wearing a pistol on his hip. Not a few writers suffered repression and even incarceration during LEKRA's heyday.
But none of that in any conceivable way justifies the barbaric, bloody violence of what followed after that fateful night. It is important for us as a nation to have open dialogue: not to condemn or punish or blame but to really understand how it happened. To forgive and to learn. No venue for such a dialogue could be better than a literary festival. That executive members of the government, even the police and ultimately the military can make a judgment on a cultural process of this kind ironically smacks of the draconian order of things in actual communist states like the PRC. And the other irony is, as author Diana Darling pointed out in social media, that the discussion is not even about communism, it's about human rights.
Bringing down the flag at dusk on the 17th of August ©Rio Helmi
Again, it is vital for us as a nation to have open dialogue. To argue that it is better to leave it alone, that we now have peace, is to ignore the ongoing political impunity and violence that mark our days. If you massacred hundreds of thousands of people fifty years ago and it is still somehow considered justified, you can certainly get people to run riot through Chinatown pillaging and raping and not get arrested, and you can watch as they burn churches as they wish and expect to get away with it.
What is happening is not just throwing a blanket over the past, it is also the passing on of the relay baton of intimidation to the next generation. As Michael Vatikiotis points out in his excellent essay on the issue, it's "fear of social change in a society plagued by inequality". If this continues we may as well scrap all pretense of democracy and just get on with tyranny.
We need to move forward from paranoid, mindless fear-mongering on to admitting the many nuances of the situation, the provocations and the manipulations that sparked the mob rampage. We need to learn from that how to avoid repeating such horrific episodes again. We need to admit that such provocation and brutality will eventually destroy us as a nation. We desperately need to move beyond sloganized polarization and get back to being a functional, pluralistic society that actually heeds its constitution.

For me to use I'd need a better text editor system than I've got right now and to print stiff pages a different printer. However, I can clearly see the benefits of using this method as opposed to ready made, and hence less flexible, pages.
If you are looking for a good text editor then there are some excellent free ones available. On Windows I really like Programmer's Notepad. A close second is Geany which is what I regularly use as it has the advantage of being cross platform and I spend most of my time running Linux.
Don't be put off by thinking that these editors are too technical, they are really not much more than Notepad on steroids - one of the features I really like which really speeds up album creation is the ease with which one can duplicate a line of text - for example in Geany control-d will duplicate the line under the cursor. So to place 10 stamps on a page, after adding the first one, it merely requires hitting control-d nine times.

It could be that what is clear to me is not as clear to everyone else and somehow I failed to convey what AlbumEasy is actually about. The software is intended to produce blank stamp album pages that can then be printed and used in in a real world album. No doubt people can and do use it to create "electronic stamp collections" but that is not the original intent of the program.
If you look at the two thumbnails images on the main page of my web site www.theStampWeb.com, the top thumbnail links to a scanned image of an actual page from my Rhodesia and Nyasaland collection, generated by AlbumEasy and printed on blank A4 pages with real stamps inserted into transparent mounts - it could be that my use of transparent mounts led you to the conclude that it is an electronic album, it is most definitely no such thing.
The second thumbnail links to an AlbumEasy generated PDF which is an example of how the program can embed images on a page if so desired. Many collectors like to embed images within the stamp frames, often reduced in size, to act as place-holders.
Of course you are free to continue to use Word to produce albums that by your own admission don't really look like albums. For myself I prefer the real thing, presentation is an important part of my collection. Besides which I warrant that my album pages take far less time and effort to produce than the inferior pages you create with Word. Using AlbumEasy an experienced user could likely create a page similar to my Rhodesia and Nyasaland page in 10 to 15 minutes.
As a collector who wrote this software for my own use and then realised that other collectors might find it useful I distribute it free of charge. I am aware of at least a few hundred other collectors who also find that it meets their needs. I do however freely admit that the AlbumEasy paradigm is not for everyone, but for those collectors who have put in the effort to understand how AlbumEasy works they have found it is a fast and efficient way of creating stamp albums.
From my point of view it is immaterial as to whether you decide to try AlbumEasy or not, other than the satisfaction of knowing that others find it useful I get nothing for the program, but I do resent that by jumping to conclusions, and the wrong conclusions at that, that you might deter others from trying the program for themselves.

I have just released V3.4 of AlbumEasy the stamp album page generation software - still open source and still 100% free. It can be downloaded from **LINK**

I have just released AlbumEasy V3.1.
It can be downloaded from www.theStampWeb.com

I have been a member of the MyTimeMedia Model Engineering forum for some time but only recently noticed the links to associated Community Sites including "Stamp Magazine" at the bottom of the page.
Anyway after browsing this forum I thought that some of the members might find AlbumEasy the free stamp album page design software that I developed useful.
AlbumEasy processes a text file containing a description of album pages which it then uses to generates a PDF file as output. Some people don't find this as user friendly as pointing and drawing with a mouse, but many who take the time to understand the text file format find it a fast and efficient way of creating albums
I apologise in advance if this appears to be a commercial posting, but given that the software is completely free and open source, it will soon be seen that this is not the case.

By Ryan K. Boman, Editor in Chief
On Monday night, RAW found itself in a pretty bad spot. And no, I'm not talking about the lovely city of Richmond, Virginia.
Sandwiched somewhere on the dial between the NBA Western Conference finals and the first game of the NHL's Stanley Cup, it was a bit of a throwaway night for WWE's flagship show. A portion of the valued 18-to-54 male demographic would certainly have its attention divided by the real life, athletic drama playing out on TNT and NBC, respectively.
So, clearly no ratings records were going to be set tonight. Content to tread water, the company treated fans to a final hour that included a comedy barbecue segment and closed the show with the women's division performing the fastest gauntlet match in history. In between, a lot of star power seemed to be missing, and we heard about the upcoming programming on The Network, along with previews of next week's show in Houston (all of which, will apparently be a LOT better that this!)
With all due respect to the performers involved, it was basically the equivalent of hitting the showers early. In other words, WWE creative took a look at the star-studded, sports schedule, and decided that Memorial Day really was a day off.
It's understandable that the company might decide to lay down a sacrifice on a holiday evening, where a segment of their audience will be lost to mainstream sports.
At its core, there isn't a lot to lose: The 'rasslin' bleacher bums will watch the show regardless, and have no interest in LeBron James or Stephen Curry… or basketball in general, for that matter.
But overall, any marquee sports match-up forces a much larger (and valued) segment of the audience to choose sides. And on nights like this, WWE has traditionally been known to take a Monday Night Mulligan.
Which is fine, for now. But, you have to wonder if they will be able to just play through when Smackdown Live becomes property of FOX in 2019. What will the ratings standards be, when WWE has to compete in a new arena, against major-revenue sports?
One of the company's saving graces has always been that, at every network stop, they are a big fish. Whether it was Spike or USA, WWE was statistically their home channel's MVP in terms of ratings. It's a luxury they won't have at FOX, where they will routinely be outpointed by some of the highest-rated shows in television.
It will be interesting to see if WWE is marketed by the network as a sport, or as merely entertainment. Because it will indicate if FOX expects them to volley with mainstream sports in terms of ratings, and counter-program against major events like the World Series and the Olympics, year-round, with no excuses for failure.
To put this difference in perspective, the level of major sports viewership normally exceeds that of your average, run-of-the-mill show, like a sitcom or drama. That makes the competition even stiffer for WWE. And while each of the four major sports gets the ability to refresh their storylines by actually having an off-season, pro wrestling is forced to be the Cal Ripken of television – an 'iron man' in terms of endless programming.
They're getting a billion dollars now, and being treated just like any other mainstream sports property. So, by rights, they aren't allowed to throw in the towel against the likes of the NHL or the NBA anymore.
The ratings from this May 28th, 2018, edition of Monday Night RAW will be telling, for a number of reasons. They will be an example of how far away from the mainstream sports arena the company is in terms of ratings, and how much work they will have to do to close that gap when they arrive on FOX.
It should be an indicator that -starting next Fall – there are no more nights off in the Universe. And, maybe even provide an idea of what it will take to hit a home run at the big-league level of network television.
They might as well practice now… After all, it's going to be a whole new ballgame in 2019.

Amy Johnson didn't realize how dissatisfied she was with her job as a secretary at a law firm until she saw an airplane take off from her backyard. As the wheels left the ground and the impossible hunk of metal and engineering took flight, Johnson realized that there was more to the world than just the daily grind that her life had become. It's easy to imagine her closing her eyes, imagining the wind whipping against her face as she careens through thousands of feet off the ground and sees the world from a whole new vantage point.
Born in Yorkshire, England in 1903 to a family of fish merchants, Johnson was quite sure that she would live a relatively simple life. She earned a Bachelor degree in economics and set to work. She was something of an anomaly—women weren't quite yet a prevalent demographic in the workforce—but it wasn't as if her dreams were rocketing her into the sky. At least, until she saw that plane take off.
Flying was a mere hobby for her at first, albeit one that she spent her meager life savings on according to Fast Ladies by Jean François Bouzanquet. After all, it was probably hard to picture herself making a career out of piloting, as it was a rather niche field. But, under the instruction of Captain Valentine Baker, she took to flight quickly and passionately. She gained her aviator's certificate in June of 1929, her pilot's A license in 1929, and that same year became the first British woman to obtain a ground engineer's C license. By the end, she was itching to transform aviation from a side hustle into her life's passion.
Thankfully, her family was supportive of her ambitions. Her father spotted her the funds to purchase a second-hand de Havilland DH.60 Gipsy Moth that she named Jason. And with her first craft in her possession, Johnson was determined to be unstoppable.
The interwar period needed a spectacle. It needed something—someone— to challenge boundaries. So, on May 5, 1930, Johnson set off from London and ended up in the Northern Territory of Australia on the 24th. No other female pilot had completed the 11,000 mile flight from England to Australia before her. And, while her craft was damaged while she was landing in Brisbane, nobody could take that record—or the confidence it gave her—away from Johnson.
A feat of that nature didn't go unnoticed. Suddenly, Johnson was attracting the attention of sponsors and media who wanted to see how far this daring woman would go.
In 1931, Johnson bought a de Havilland DH.80 Puss Moth that she named, fittingly, Jason II. She, alongside her co-pilot Jack Humphreys, became the first people to fly 1760 miles from London to Moscow in under a single day (about 21 hours). And, since they were already at it, they figured they might as well keep going. So, they continued on to Siberia, then to Tokyo, that saw them setting a record time for flying from Britain to Japan.
Even Johnson's love life was a whirlwind—in 1932 she married Jim Mollison. The two had known each other for only eight hours at the time, and he chose to propose mid-flight. The romance of the gesture wasn't lost, and, really, Amy found no choice but to agree.
She celebrated the new marriage the way anyone would: she flew solo from London to Cape Town to break the record that her new husband held.
With a romance so firmly built on the passion of aviation, Johnson and Mollison teamed up for plenty of flights during their marriage. And their relationship was promptly tested: on a flight from South Wales to New York, their plane ran out of fuel and crashed in Connecticut. Both husband and wife were injured in the crash, but, thankfully, not seriously. After spending a fair amount of time in the hospital, the two were celebrated widely in New York City for their daring.
Unfortunately, the marriage to Mollison resulted in some poor luck on Johnson's end. She broke her final record in 1936 when she took back her Britain to Cape Town record. But she suffered engine trouble with Mollison on a race from Britain to Australia, forcing them to retire. And then, during a stunt display at Walsall Aerodrome, Johnson crashed her glider. Thankfully, she escaped without injury, but she decided not to take any more chances. She and Mollison divorced soon after.
Sponsors were constantly on the lookout to include Johnson in their big events. In 1938, after her divorce to Mollison, Amy was invited to take part in the Paris-Vicy-Saint Raphaël Rally in a Talbot-Lago T150 Grand Sport coupe that was prepared especially for her by Anthony Lago himself. It was her first time racing behind the wheel of a car, and she showed her merit by winning the Concours d'Élégance.
She took part in the Shelsley Walsh hillclimb and the RAC Rally, but her only other outing was halted by her divorce. She was required to remain in England during the proceedings, which barred her from taking part in the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally.
A potential career in racing was cut short as World War II broke out. Johnson was able to use her unique skill set to join the Air Transport Auxiliary, transporting Royal Air Force crafts around the country. She was so efficient at her job that she quickly rose to the rank of First Officer.
But in 1941, Johnson was sent out in terrible conditions. She became lost in gales of snow and fell off the radar. It's reported that she ran out of fuel and crashed into the Thames Estuary, but her body was never found. She was posthumously awarded the Albert Medal that May to recognize that she had done her part to save lives in the war.
Despite her early death, Amy Johnson's spirit continues to live on. Her first plane, Jason, is preserved at the Science Museum in London, and her father donated souvenirs and mementos to Sewerby Hall. She was the subject of songs, has been carved in statues, and lives on via the names of several buildings around the United Kingdom. The Royal Aeronautical Society has established an Amy Johnson Named Lecture to celebrate women in aviation. She's been commemorated in the Google doodles, and her name has been used on multiple different commercial planes around the world. And that's not even counting the wealth of characters, books, plays, and musicals that are inspired by Amy Johnson.
Amy Johnson's life was one cut unfortunately short. But she serves as an example of the accomplishments of women in a male-dominated era, one who has been rightfully recognized for the incredible successes of her career.

In case you needed yet another reason to admire Danny Trejo, here you go.
Yesterday, the actor witnessed a collision that resulted in an overturned car. He quickly came to the rescue with another bystander by crawling into the side of the car and, with the help of the other unnamed hero, pulled the child out of the vehicle.
But another passenger, the child's grandmother, was still trapped in the driver's seat, unable to get out.
Upon pulling the child out of the car, Trejo realized it was a boy with special needs. Luckily, he has experience in dealing with children who need extra care, and he helped calm the boy until further help arrived for his elder.
He described the situation to abc7:
"He was panicked. I said OK, we have to use our superpowers. So he screamed 'superpowers' and we started yelling 'superpowers," Trejo said. "I said do this, with the muscles. He said 'muscles.'"
"We got kind of a bond. I kept facing him away from the accident."
Thankfully, everyone survived and no one was seriously injured.
You can watch a video here.
I also think it's extremely important to take away this quote from Trejo, as per the video:
"Everything good that has happened to me, has happened as a direct result of helping someone else. Everything. And that's the way I live"
Despite his repeated casting as the bloodthirsty villain, it's well-known that Danny Trejo is one of the most genuine people in Hollywood.
We certainly need more people like him in the world, now more than ever.
