Spotify has released a new version of their Spotify iPhone app, and the new version of the application comes with a number of new features and enhancements.
One of the new features in the latest version of the Spotify iPhone app is the ability to stream music in an 'extreme' quality mode, which brings 320kbps music to your iPhone.
It looks like not all music tracks are available with the higher bitrate, and this feature seems to be only available to premium subscribers of Spotify who pay the $10 a month fee.
Spotify haven't released any information on when these higher quality tracks will be available for other platforms like Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows Phone.

The National Cybersecurity Institute assists organisations manage risk through a range of information security services.
Governance is the cornerstone to strong security and a requirement for security accreditation. We specialise in governance documentation review and creation for the Australian government Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF), Australian government Information Security Manual (ISM), ISO27001/2 and PCI DSS compliance.
A Threat and Risk Assessment (TRA) is an assessment of the threats and risks to information assets and a strategy of recommended controls to treat unacceptable risks.
To create the TRA we typically use workshops to leverage the knowledge of your staff, resulting in an improved outcome. In the workshops we go through flows and usage of information, credible threats to that information and calculate the risk of the threat. The recommended actions to treat unacceptable risks are then discussed and agreed upon. The final step is to deliver a risk management strategy using this knowledge that can be used by senior management to make informed decisions.
An internal system assessment may include:
Refer to our Penetration Testing service for more details.
Software review involves inspecting software for security flaws or weaknesses. This is a valuable service if your software team do not have a strong understanding of security or if the project plan does not include security testing as a deliverable. Software reviews are cost effective when compared to the costs of managing bugs and problems in production systems.
Annual staff education is an important aspect of cybersecurity. To make a lasting impact we focus on making the experience memorable through keeping it engaging using lots of 'war stories'.
Social engineering is a good service to use if you think your staff lack an appropriate security awareness that is exposing your information assets to undue risk. Combined with user education it is a very powerful tool in illustrating the importance of due process and proper care.
You may be surprised how far we can get with social engineering, our experience includes physically accessing server rooms to collecting passwords over the phone to log into systems remotely.

'Hobbit' finale grosses half its budget in 3 days, before US release
After nearly fifteen years and 17 hours of screen time, Peter Jacksons 'Lord of the Rings' saga comes to an end with the release of the final entry in 'The Hobbit' Trilogy - 'The Battle of Five Armies'.
Whilst the movie won't open for a number of days in the United States and even longer in Australia (December 26th), the film has just opened in 37 overseas locations, including Germany, United Kingdom, France and Japan. In it's first three days of release the film has already pulled in $117 million, which is nearly half the film's production budget of $250 million. The Previous entry; 'The Desolation of Smaug' grossed nearly a billion dollars worldwide.
'The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies' is the final entry of both the 'Hobbit' series and the wider 'Lord of the Rings' saga and will be released over the course of December in hundreds of markets in 2D, 3D, IMAX and 48FPS High Frame Rate versions.

For more of our weekly HaloRadar coverage,click here.
Two heroes.Two evil alien races.Two sweeping sci-fi universes.
Two battles for humanity's survival.
Two franchises. Two multiplayer kings. Two best-selling, megaton-popular action games beloved by consumers and celebrated by critics.Two shooters competing for the title of Xbox 360 champion.
The Halo and Gears of War series are both incredible, but in a world of internet trolls and blind fanboy allegiance, only one can be crowned. So, in an effort to declare a final victor - or at least ignite a flame war - GamesRadar Editors Charlie Barratt and Chris Antista put aside all professional objectivity and fair minded rationality for a bloody (and juvenile) battle royale.
(DISCLAIMER: Truthfully, both of these guys adore both of these games. C'mon, they're not complete idiots. The immature arguments and petty generalizations you're about to read are intended only as a spark to debate. In other words, let theforum explosion begin!)
Why Gears is better: Chainsaw. Hammer of Dawn.Torque bow. Curb stomp. Oh yeah, did I mention the friggin' chainsaw?
Gears of War wins this category through sheer, perverse originality. Not only is it the first shooter in FOREVER to actually try something new, it pushes that "something" to the goriest and grittiest extremes imaginable. Seriously, would you rather carve screaming aliens into chunks as their blood splatters on the screen... or tickle them to death with neon pink sparklers? Do you want a tiny purple laser pistol that spits adorable green pellets... or a giant ass laser beam that microwaves aliens from the sky? Your choice, pansy.
- Charlie
Why Halo is better: Lies! Okay, that chainsaw bayoneted Lancer is easily the Muhammad Ali of modern game weaponry, but other than that (and the Hammer of Dawn), what the hell else do you have? Not an iconic assault rifle or a Plasma Sword, that's for damn sure. And that's barely scratching the surface of Halo's arsenal. Sticky 'nades, Splas0rz, and vehicles that murder fools to death! In terms of variety, it's no contest. You can keep your "Shotgun X" and cardboard tube sniper rifles. Oh, and you're grenades look like Hasbro Skip-its, so suck on that. - Chris
Why Gears is better: Again, the difference is creativity. Like practically every other game in the history of electricity, Halo 3 boils down to one simplistic formula - run, jump, shoot. You might as well slap Master Chief with a mustache, drop him in some overalls and call it a platformer.
Gears of War, on the other hand, adds an extra dimension of authenticity with its cover system. A real soldier couldn't hop and rocket bounce his way out of trouble, so why should Marcus Fenix? Instead, you must find salvation in the protection of your environment, the timing of your exposure and the speed of your reloading. The experience is truly intense. - Charlie
Why Halo is better: Slanderous! I feel that even beyond the 1st /3rd-person perspectives, both differ enough to coexist peacefully in Shooterland. Gears is about being a beleaguered, against-all-odds pack mule, and I don't mean that as a slight because I think it works very, very well. But Halo puts you in the role of a streamlined super-soldier. While Marcus Fenix is cowering behind concrete slabs for cover, Chief is running up and spitting melee in the enemy's face. And how 'bout that jump button?- Chris

This is Pat Ingoldsby, a poet, and a Dublin icon. He was siting on Westmoreland Street, surrounded by his books and busy finishing a poem in his notebook when I approached. The self made sign above his head read "Dublin Poet - anywhere else I'd be a god."
"Howrya Pat", I said " I want to buy a book from you". " Ah, howrya", he said, "and I've just finished one - can I read it to you? Tell me if you can relate".
He proceeded to recite a poem recounting his difficulty with math and his love of words as a young boy. When he was done he looked up at me and inquired earnestly; " well - can you relate to that?". Indeed I could and I told him so, and after he had lamented the presence of letters in mathematical equation, I suggested that perhaps it's just the words trying to invade and overthrow the math world. He liked this idea and a warm smile spread broadly from under his hat.
Pat is at once whimsical, sincere, biting and curious in his observations of the world he sees around him.His poems reflect the people he meets as he sits peddling his literary wares on the streets of Dublin, as well as reflections on the natural world as he sees it from the strand in Howth where he lives. In his life he has known both fame and obscurity and I would hazard a guess that he has little time for either.
As we chatted, he picked up a book and signed it to my wife and I in a large, looping deliberate hand that , when he had finished, read "thanks Patsy and Heather for saving my day". before we parted he recited one more poem that came to him; a few lines pondering whether the pursuit of wealth is as valid as the value of natural beauty.
And with that , we said our goodbyes - warm handshakes, broad waves and smiles and a mutual wish to enjoy the rest of the day.
"What the world needs now is love, sweet love". Burt Bacharach wrote that.
" - and a few more Pat Ingoldsbys". I wrote that.

SYRACUSE — They've woken us up for two and a half decades, arriving unannounced with their witty banter blaring through our clock radios. For 25 years, "Ted and Amy in the Morning" on 93Q (WNTQ) has helped Central New Yorkers start their days. The station is honoring the pair with a huge party this Saturday at the Sheraton University Hotel in Syracuse. Recently, Ted and Amy spoke with CNYRadio.com about their jobs.
Ted Long was already at 93Q when he and Amy Robbins were paired in 1988. CNYRadio.com asked the pair about the best of times since over the past 25 years and what's to come. Their comments about their work and the past quarter century confirm what many listeners already suspect – that they love to entertain and make people laugh.
CNY Radio: How long have you been in broadcasting?
Ted: This will be my 33rd year in radio, all here at 93Q. I started pretty much right out of high school.
Amy: I graduated from Ithaca College in 1987 and had a job strictly doing newscasts for a year (at the now-defunct WEZG-FM). I got the job at 93Q in 1988 and have been here ever since!
CNY Radio: Did you always want to go into radio?
Ted: I knew that I wanted to be in the entertainment field in some capacity. My dream job would have been doing cartoon voices, but when the opportunity arose to go into radio, I jumped into it.
For Amy, who attended several local schools, graduating from Camden, the passion started in the seventh grade when she took a tour of Channel 3 (WSTM), led by Laura Hand.
CNY Radio: How did you get your break?
Amy: "I got my break when they were looking for a young female news person to come in and do the news on the morning show. I had interviewed the year before and they remembered me!"
Ted was still a student at Marcellus High School. He was emceeing a talent show in high school; one of the judges was Fran McGrath from 93Q. Ted had known Fran's daughter from school; he told Ted that he might have a future in radio and encouraged him to come in to make a tape. "The rest," he said, "is history."
CNY Radio: What are your favorite parts of what you do?
Amy: "I have loved my job from the beginning because it's different every day. We talk about different things, talk to different people, play different music. I just love that and it makes my job go by so fast!"
Ted: "I love being able to make somebody's ride into work or school better by making them laugh, or brighten someone's otherwise miserable day. It's a good feeling."
CNY Radio: Who are your favorite guests from over the years?
Ted: "We had the entire Brian Setzer Orchestra on the air once. They were playing at Turning Stone and we had them in the morning of the show. We had an audio company come in to set up the sound and we had musicians lined up in the lobby, down the hallway to the men's room. Brian sat in the studio with us to sing and play guitar. That was a great one."
Amy: "Steven Tyler from Aerosmith was by far the nicest celebrity guest. We focus more on local guests than national, and it works best when they listen to the show and are so comfortable because they feel like they're having a conversation with us."
CNY Radio: What has changed in your jobs over the years?
Amy: "The first music I played was reel to reel. That was WAY back in the 1900s! We used to have to edit reel tape with a razor blade when it came to news audio, interviews, anything….now, obviously, everything is done on computer, including the DJs on some air shifts. Luckily, 93Q still has a lot of live DJs."
Amy also pointed out that radio stations are now owned in clusters; in the 1980s, one company might own one AM and one FM station in each city.
Ted: "Everything is digital now. When I started, we still had turntables in the studio. Now everything is on hard drive. It's made my job so much easier, but the down side is that not a lot of people are necessary to run a radio station now."
Just about anybody who has listened to Ted and Amy remembers at least one of their practical jokes. They can't do phone pranks anymore, Amy lamented, because it's illegal to record someone without their knowledge. April Fools' Day pranks are always a big hit, although she said it's getting harder to pull them off because everyone is expects them now.
Both of them named as their favorite prank the year they told listeners to cover their phone jacks because the phone company was going to "blow the magnetic dust" out of the lines, to improve sound quality. To prevent any of the dust from getting into your home, you were supposed to wrap your phone in a garbage bag. According to Amy, the entire Onondaga County Sheriff's Office fell for it.
Another time, they told listeners to trade in their $5 bills for new money, because the bills would go bad by the end of the day. People believed them, and Amy said some local banks complained. (Editor's Note: here's a CNYRadio.com story about a Ted & Amy April Fools' Day gag from 2002 that managed to spread to another radio station.)
"Ted was great at doing phone pranks," she added.
CNY Radio: What is the biggest misconception people have about your job?
Ted: "Probably the biggest misconception people have is that we blow in at 5:30 a.m., (when their show starts) talk for 4-1/2 hours, then leave. There's preparation, off-air work, and behind the scenes things that go into the morning show. I don't leave the building until at least 10:30 a.m.!"
Amy agreed, adding that they also do appearances at schools, charities and other functions. She also said they do not get to pick their music. "We have a music director and an operations director who choose the music from research, both nationally and locally," she said.
(Both need to get up at around 3:00 in the morning. Coffee is a must; every morning, Ted, the gentleman, stops at Dunkin Donuts and brings an extra coffee for Amy!)
CNY Radio: As the music has evolved, from the introduction of rap music in the 1980s to boy bands to the Britney craze, what trends have surprised you?
Amy: "Top 40 music is always changing and we are at the mercy of what's popular. Personally, I'm not a big rap girl, and when the trend was more urban a few years ago, I was really not into that. Now, it seems it's headed more toward 'feel good' pop songs and acoustic guitar ballads sung by good-looking male artists, so I'm all over it!"
Ted: "Music is always an evolving art that seems to recreate itself…so it's always surprising what direction it takes, especially when something you thought was over resurfaces. An example would be that the British female soul sound of a Dusty Springfield reborn as Adele."
CNY Radio: What kind of music do you listen to?
Ted: "I like the music we play, although I do listen to a lot of Internet podcast talk radio. I get a little 'music-ed out' after being on the air all morning."
Amy: "The Eagles have been my favorite since high school, and I just saw them a couple of years ago in concert! They never go out of style. I also love Elton John, and, truthfully, love the music that 93Q is playing these days."
CNY Radio: How long will you keep doing this?
Amy: "I will keep doing this until it's no longer fun, or until we are way too old to introduce a Ke$sha song and still sound hip, although we may have never sounded hip introducing a Ke$sha song!"
Ted: "I hope to retire from my job someday, or, until my wife wins the lottery, whichever comes first!"
Ted and his wife, Bobbie, live in Baldwinsville. They have three grown children, Taylor, Harry and Ashley, and two dogs. Amy and her husband, Mark, live in Cicero with their cat, Sarnoff.
Help Ted and Amy Celebrate
For information about Ted and Amy's 25th anniversary party on Nov. 16, visit http://syracuse.sweetdealscumulus.com. The fun starts at 6 p.m. with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, and includes dinner, and dancing to live music.

Apopka is raising its fees for everything from recreation to a cemetery plot but most of the rate increases will not affect city residents.
City finance director Jack Douglass said that most of the increases will affect non-residents who use city services.
However, one cost that will affect city residents is an increase in monthly garbage service from $7.10 a month to $11.75 for curbside collection.

Guantanamo (Gitmo) Bay detainees may soon be headed for a courtroom near you, according to a report on Sunday morning's Fox and Friends. House Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi, have passed a bill that would allow the inmates to be transferred to U.S. soil for prosecution and incarceration.Â
Lawmakers against the legislation have pointed out that in one fell swoop, House Democrats, by voting for this legislation, have put Americans in danger, have weakened the judicial system and undermined the Constitution.
John Colburson, Congressman from Texas and member of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, explained why bringing the Gitmo detainees here for trial is a bad idea:
Never before in American history have we given foreign soldiers, captured on foreign battlefields, U.S. Constitutional rights. They have now passed a law that, when our American men and women in uniform, capture an enemy soldier on a foreign battlefield, our men and women are going to have to think about the chain of evidence, of reading them their Miranda Rights…foreign soldiers will now be able to "lawyer-up†at U.S. taxpayer expense to be tried in U.S. Courtrooms. It's absurd.
As of now, there are roughly 220 hard-core Islamic terrorist prisoners remaining in the Guantanamo facility, which was opened at the U.S. naval base in Cuba after the Sept. 11 attacks. President Barack Obama has been a staunch proponent of having the prison closed, announcing on his second day in office that he wanted it closed within a year. The problem is, he hasn't been able to do so because of some major legal and political hurdles. In addition, closing Gitmo entails solving one major problem: no one seems to want the prisoners.
Well, almost no one.
There does seem to be one place where the terrorists will not only be welcome, but the elected officials there are almost begging to get them. Can you guess who it is that wants them that badly? Is it Saudi Arabia, Libya or Yemen?
Nope—it's Michigan.
Some local officials in and around Standish, Michigan, home to the Standish Maximum Correctional Facility (which is otherwise scheduled to close later this month), think that transferring the worst of the worst from Gitmo will somehow stimulate the local economy and provide jobs in the community.
Former Defense Department terrorism analyst Peter Leitner thinks this is bunk, and he predicts that the security threat posed by importing the terrorists far outweighs any economic benefits:
Michigan will become a magnet for foreign and domestic terror cells, as well as radical organizations of the left and right. If there are homegrown terror cells looking for a good cause, this will be a good cause for them.
Retired Army Lt. Col. Gordon Cucullu, a former Army Special Forces officer and author of a book about Gitmo, agrees:
Everyone in Guantanamo is there because he wants to kill Americans. What we're doing is hanging a target not only on Standish, but also on the whole community, the whole region.
Don't worry, good people of Michigan. Obama, Pelosi and those Democrats who voted for this know what they're doing.

Israel Must Say "No" to the Peace Process, Sooner or Later
Posted on October 29 2010 6:00 pm
Pages: 1 2
|Print This Post
Israel must say "no" to extending the freeze formally or de facto.
Israel must also say "no" to the peace process sooner or later. Even if Israel continued to build and the PA was prepared to return to the peace process, Israel should refuse to negotiate unless of course she is prepared to swallow the deal the international community has in store for her.
According to FM Avigdor Leiberman,
- "During my recent visit to the US I learned that Washington is planning to force a permanent agreement on Israel – two states for two peoples along the 1967 borders, plus-minus 3 or 4% of the territory exchanged," Lieberman said. "This is the objective of a continued freeze – to give the US and the international community two months to come up with a solution that will be forced on Israel."
Such a deal comes with the division of Jerusalem or with its internationalization.
Benny Avni writing in the NY POST under the title Peace Malpractice reported
- "The offer to Abbas included (again, in writing) US acceptance that the border of the future Palestinian state should be based largely on the 1949 armistice lines — ignoring the new reality in the land Israel took in the defensive war of 1967, where there are now large Jewish settlement blocs".
All the more reason to say "no".
That is not to say that if she refused to enter negotiations with such a predetermined end, the international community would not impose their solution on her anyway, or at least, try to.
Israel must bite the bullet sooner or later. Either accept her fate at the hands of the international community, lead by the US, and get whatever goodies she can, or stand her ground. She must declare openly that she will not accept such a deal. No more hiding behind the need for security or the demand for recognition as a Jewish state. She must cut to the chase and refuse such a deal. No more pretending.
A very recent Israeli poll showed Israelis favored building and ending the freeze by a margin of 54/39. Of course anyone in favour of building is against the two state solution. Why build if you are going to give it away?
Those who want peace are placing too high a value on it, considering that it is likely to be ephemeral and too low a value on retaining Judea and Samaria which would be eternal.
So we are really back to the rejection of the two-state solution which was Netanyahu's position before and during the last election. When Netanyahu was forming his government, it immediately became apparent that he was not to be trusted. He brought Dan Meridor, a left of center politician into Likud, rejected Moshe Feiglin and invited Labor to join the coalition. Netanyahu didn't want to be controlled by the right and looked to diversify his government
Nevertheless, the pressure is building on Netanyahu to extend the freeze and he is saying we have a few days to decide. At the moment he is outnumbered and lacks Cabinet support for extending the freeze.
If he agrees to it without Cabinet support, the government will fall.

Celebrity cruise vacations are the premier yet affordable way to cruise the seas in style and luxury. The inside of the ship has high-class décor and has gained a reputation among other cruise line as having top-notch interior design.
Facilities include a movie theater and a large shopping "mall". There are also large lounges where passengers can be entertained with state of the art lighting and staging. If you want more entertainment, you always go to the casino to play blackjack, roulette or slot machines.
There are 20 different grades of accommodations and will allow the passenger to choose a variety of different suit options. Half of the cabins or suites have private balconies and the majority of the rooms are exterior cabins (have windows). Suites are naturally more expensive but provide top-shelf service and have amenities such as butler service and more space than a standard cabin.
Speaking of suites, if you can afford it, go big. There are two penthouse suites, eight royal suites and 30 sky suites that are available for bookings. However, these are very pricey and fill up on a first come first serve basis. There is butler service for suite accommodations and all suites include breakfast, in-suite lunches and dinner service (upon request).
A more affordable option is the concierge class. This class is the middle class option and is between the suite class and the standard cabin class. The concierge class has the ability to embark before the standard class and have the option to have alternative dining.
The standard cabins are "not too shabby" and come with a lounge area and sofa. These cabins would be the equivalent of an upgraded room in lower grade cruise line.
Food is much better on the Celebrity cruise line than a standard cruise such as the Royal Caribbean cruise vacations. The menu has a large variety and the food taste good. All meals are served on china and are presented nicely. On standard cruises, you will eat off of plastic trays and with plastic cutlery. If you're not in the mood to eat in the main restaurant, you can always choose the buffet option. The buffet option is very good and can seat many guests. If you absolutely want to stay in your quarters, you can always have dine-in options (upon request and advanced notice).
Why not try a spa treatment on your Celebrity Cruise? There are over 16 treatment rooms, aerobics room, gymnasium for basketball and large coed saunas. If that's not your thing you can always play pickle ball, basketball, or volleyball. If you can afford it, try a Celebrity cruise vacation!

Ayn Rand Must Be Turning Over In Her Grave!
Dear Mr. President:
During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ringtone. While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medicaid"! During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer.
And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care? I contend that our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture", a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based in the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me".
Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear.
On 6 September 2009 the Clarion Ledger published a response from Jennifer:
"I've been stewing about an Aug. 23 letter to the editor ("Why pay for the care of the careless?) in which Dr. Starner Jones questioned the worth of a patient to receive Medicaid because of her gold tooth, tattoos, R&B ring tone on a new cell phone, cigarette-smoking and beer-drinking.
This kind of personal attack is nothing new with the hateful rhetoric of late. But it's a real slippery slope when one questions whether another human merits support for health care because of appearances and choices. There are a lot of folks in this state who make less-than-perfect choices about finances and health. We are the poorest, fattest state, after all.
We need to turn off our TVs and radios and do our own research on health care reform. All the Fox-fed and MSNBC-led masses are out spewing the same language the pundits are using.
Look at entities who, bottom line, want to raise their rating and celebrity, not facilitate a meeningful or productive discourse.
This country deserves more. Read the health care reform bill. And learn the real issues of our entire community. We're all Americans. This is no "us vs. them" issue. We are all in this together.
Jennifer Sigrest"
Ms. Sigrest's comment is the typical liberal response - trying to turn a societal issue into a personal issue. Of COURSE everyone has the right to tattoos etc. The problem is that this patient made her choices such that it costs other people to pay for the consequence of her choices. Get thousands of dollars of tattoos if you wish, but choices have consequences, so don't go to the taxpayers to pay for your health insurance - we all chose to pay for our OWN health insurance, not yours. If you are asking me to pay for your health insurance, then I get a say in the way you treat your body. Contact Ms. Sigrest if you need help, and go ahead and try to force her as you try to force taxpayers - you might get lucky?
A quote from Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged:
"We're all one big family, they told us, we're all in this together. But you don't stand working an acetylene torch ten hours a day -- together, and you don't all get a bellyache -- together. Whose ability and which of whose needs comes first? When it's all one pot, you can't let any man decide what his own needs are, can you? If you did, he might claim he needs a yacht -- and if his feelings is all you have to go by, he might prove it, too. Why not? If it's not right for me to own a car until I've worked myself into a hospital ward, earning a car for every loafer and every naked savage on Earth -- why can't he demand a yacht from me, too, if I still have the ability not to have collapsed?"
For "yacht" in the above quote from Atlas Shrugged, feel free to substitute "tattoos," or "cell phone," or "gold tooth".... or "medical care." If you don't want to read the book, see the movie "Atlas Shrugged which came out a week or so ago. Of course liberals hate the book/movie because it wasn't written by the "evil rich hater" Michael Moore.

I was introduced to Ayn Rand when I was 21, Atlas Shrugged had just been released, and to-date have read it at least three times, at different times in my life. This book, and We the Living, Anthem and The Fountainhead (& Howard Roark) are superb. I realize she was atheist, but it matters not. I wonder if Anne Wortham ever met Ayn Rand.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comment trailbee, who knows, maybe she is not an atheist right now!.....hahahaReplyDelete
I would be interested (even if you only met her that one time), to know what your feelings about her were (no matter how superficial they might be.
When I said I was introduced to her, I meant her book. I was in Spain for my 21st BD to pick up my niece and nephew, and was given the book as a present, ergo, my into. Sorry if I misled you. This is one lady I would love to have met! However, I think you can actually get to know someone through their books, if you read them chronologically, because their style begins to change over time; hers did. The Fountainhead was written in '43 and Atlas Shrugged in '57 and I think there is a difference in how she wrote Atlas. She appeared more at ease, and if she was, maybe that's why Atlas is so long - she loved writing it. Just my impression, probably because I love trains. :)ReplyDelete

I. The People's Movement for Indigenous Search Engines
(A take on the corruption situation in India)
There was once a conclave of Well Intentioned Activists gathered to discuss a most deserving cause: how to make search engines Pro-People. Popular foreign search engines such as Google and Yahoo were artifacts of capitalism and foreign imperialism with their only goal being to make profits for themselves. "Search engines are elitist" said the chief activist, reflecting the mood of the conclave. She continued, "They are not pro-poor. The poor do not use search engines on expensive computers". Agreeing with this sentiment, another People's leader said, "The middle classes are obsessed with shopping malls and search engines. In a nation with so much poverty, are foreign search engines really necessary? Do they address issues faced by the common man?"
All the Well Intentioned Activists agreed that this was an intolerable state of affairs. The country needed grassroots level search engines and the best way to make this happen was to regulate. Left to their own devices, search engines would continue to be elitist and serve corporate interests. "The government must do something" they said.
And the government agreed with alacrity.
A Search Engine for the People (SEP) scheme was announced. Anybody could set up an Indian search engine, provided they obtained approval from the newly constituted Ministry of Internet & Search Engines. Indigenous search engines were required to show top 3 results that would reflect grassroots level issues. For example, for the elitist search term "smart phone", the top 3 results would be pro-people articles such as "polio vaccinations", "have you thought about illiteracy today?" and "indigenous people's movements in the North East".
Even better, foreign search engines were banned from doing business in India. The government commissioned a massive firewall to block foreign Search Engines. Any ISP found circumventing the firewall had to pay a hefty fine and risk having their approval revoked.
In this way, the people's search engine movement got results on behalf of the People.
II. An Entrepreneur's Tale
Three years later, a young wannabe entrepreneur had a brilliant idea for a semantic search engine suited to Indian languages. She had a PhD in computational linguistics and natural language processing. Her research advisors had been very encouraging of her PhD thesis and urged her to launch a search engine based on its concept.
Her first step was to apply for permission to start a new search engine and obtain the requisite approvals from the Ministry. She filled out 26 forms in 2 languages (One Indian language apart from English). In a box provided on one of the forms, she explained how her search engine would be useful to the people and would help find search results relevant for Indian languages.
She was bewildered when her application got rejected for not being people-oriented. Helpful friends asked her to talk to a search engine broker, someone who knew how to work the system in Delhi and had contacts in the Ministry.
"Do you have political connections?" asked the broker. She shook her head. "I have contacts right at the top of the ministry", he boasted. "The minister's son-in-law's school friend is my neighbor's nephew. He can get your work done. Bas, you will need to take care of my neighbor and his nephew, and also the son-in-law and the minister. Approval mil jaayega." The wannabe entrepreneur was a bit dazed by all this and said "But why do I need to do all this to start a new search engine? My concept is excellent and my background in computational linguistics……". The broker guffawed, "What does all this PhD VhD have to do with setting up a search engine in this country? Arre, this is the problem with you educated people. You think you are very smart and can work outside the system. Madam, this is not America. You have to follow the rules here. Without chai-pani kuch nahin hota yahaan."
Finally, like other bourgeois yuppies, the wannabe entrepreneur decided to go to the US and continue her career in in Silicon Valley. And that's the last anyone heard of her.
III. The End of Corruption
The elitist middle classes and upper middle classes are looking for a backdoor way to access foreign search engines. This mindset is no doubt a consequence of 200 years of foreign rule and definitely has nothing to do with the quality of the foreign search engines, as is alleged by vested interests. Since it is illegal to use foreign search engines, ISPs charge a hefty premium for providing this service. Conveniently, they also do not show this additional fee in their receipts and thereby avoid paying tax.
But the ISPs do not get to keep all the money. They have to bribe the inspectors and officials of the ministry to look the other way. In a totally unrelated and coincidental development, officials of the Ministry are said to command hefty dowries when they get married.
Over the last couple of years some of the older ISPs have exited the industry since they were squeamish about bribing the ministry and breaking the law. New competitors have entered the market. It is rumored that the mafia is behind some of the new ISPs, since there is good money to be made by those with no compunction about breaking the law. There have been reports of turf wars between mafia-backed ISPs leading to law and order problems in several areas.
There are rumors that search engines have to ensure that they do not return any results that are critical of the government and the ministry. Otherwise the ministry revokes approval. On the other hand, they can easily get into the good graces of the ministry by showing results critical of the minister's political rivals. There have also been rumors that the Ministry is planning to bring internet portals and news sites under its purview. News sites will have to provide news favoring the government and party in power or risk losing their approvals.
The Well Intentioned Activists are not perturbed. If the government tries to manipulate the media, they will launch public agitations. But it is important not to lose site of the real issue, which is to make the internet a people oriented and grassroots level medium.
The Ministry is usually allotted to a minister from a crucial coalition partner who can deliver seats and is in a position to make a difference to electoral calculations. But there are rumors that this party goes all out to win its seats and bribes voters to come to the polls and vote for it. But at least this way, corruption is democratized. Why should only ministers, government officials and ISPs be the ones to make money? Let ordinary people also have their chance.
In a new study by Transparency International, the Ministry of Internet & Search Engines is listed right after to the Income Tax department as the most corrupt. But the Ministry does show a lot of potential and it is expected to achieve the Number 1 spot next year.
The rising corruption and violence are a cause of much concern to citizens. There have been a series of scams involving the minister and several bureaucrats. The middle classes are so disillusioned that concerned citizens recently took out a candlelight vigil even though a crucial India-Australia cricket match was being played at that time.
There are many theories about the reasons for the pervasive corruption. The older folks believe that the younger generation lacks integrity. They think nostalgically of the days of the freedom movement when there were very principled leaders who went to jail for worthy causes. On the other hand the younger generation says "We Indians are like this only. Corruption is in our DNA".
There is a small but vocal section of commentators that claims to understand the real cause of corruption. These people say that corruption is an outcome of giving bureaucrats and ministers too much discretionary power. This not only corrupts those in positions of power, but also attracts criminals and undesirables to politics. Worse, honest people are shut out of politics. But this is dangerous propaganda. We must not forget that these people have a hidden agenda to serve elite interests and would like nothing better than to allow foreign corporations a free hand. They are mentioned here merely to show how vested elites can try to obfuscate the real issues.
But once again, it is the Well Intentioned Activists who show the way in a bleak situation. Concerned by the mounting corruption, they are conducting agitations to force the government to take action and clean up the system. Principled and brave activists are taking fasts unto death. There are speeches and rallies. People are so enthused that Facebook is inundated with status messages about the agitations.
The government is forced to compromise. Because of all the agitations, fasts-unto-death and pressure from the Activists, the government has set up a People's Institution for the Eradication of Corruption. The Institution will have the mandate to prosecute any corrupt official or citizen. Since it will comprise of all the Well Intentioned Activists and their appointees, there is of course no chance of it acting wrongly. The middle classes are delighted, for now that this People's Institution has been established, there will be no corruption and they can go back to watching cricket with a clear conscience.
There are vague mutters heard of "Who will guard the guardians?" but that is entirely irrelevant.

By Elena FerranteI was not as enthusiastic about this book as were some of my book groupies. The first of a trilogy turned quartet, I enjoyed it well enough but don't feel terribly compelled to read on.
The story of two young Italian girls and supposedly a great story of female friendship, the novel disappointed me a bit. I had a hard time understanding what Elena saw in Lila. It reminded me of my younger days, when I was friends with girls who didn't really treat me very well.
In my older years, I've become more selective. So reading books like this that supposedly represent female friendship leave me feeling frustrated. This is not representative of an equal, life-giving friendship.
Apparently this author is a real mystery, and the forthcoming books are huge hits. But I will not read any further unless my friends, who treat me better than Lila treats Elena, tell me I must!

For aphid control on roses, here is what we use:
Put it all in a spray bottle, mix it up (foaminess is good), spray every day 'til the aphids kick the bucket!
Also, I use the high-powered spray from the hose to knock them off if the roses are still in bud stage.
Or, as a last resort, I put on my garden gloves, crush the little buggers with my fingers (yuk!), then top the roses off with the homemade spray.

I was picking coddling moths worms off my apple tree leaves and discovered a few aphids on the new growth tips. However just as I was getting finished and wondering about the aphids, I spied a healthy
Try this recipe for getting rid of aphids:
Combine these ingredients into a blender or food processor on high. Strain the pulp from the liquid using cheesecloth, a nylon stocking or a fine-meshed colander. Pour the remaining liquid into a spray bottle and spray it directly on flowers or plants to control aphids. Another easy method is to use a strong spray from a garden hose every few days until the aphids are no longer visible.
I spray infected plants with citric acid solution (1 teaspoon of citric acid dissolved in 0.5 L of water). I sometimes spray this solution on all plants as a protective method even if they're not affected, and repeat as needed, it works.

I have seen posts that suggest using vinegar to get rid of aphids. Isn't vinegar harmful to growing things?
By Joan
Vinegar is a great HERBICIDE (weed killer). For aphids, I suggest a squirt of liquid dish soap in a pint or so of water, spray the leaves, contacting as many aphids as possible.
I am looking for a recipe for killing aphids with dish soap and water.
By Mary from Butler, PA
get a large spray bottle big enough to hold the followig ingredients:
1 cup vegetable oil or white mineral oil
2 cups water
2 teaspoons bleach free dish soap
Add all ingredients to spray bottle and shake well before each use because the oil separates from the soap mixture once it sits for a bit. When spraying your plants, bushes etc... be sure you spray under the leaves and on any new growth as that is where the aphids love to hide and eat. This works excellent for us and I hope it will do the same for you. Be sure not to add more soap than required as it can kill your plants.

Will liquid a hand soap dissolved in water kill aphids?
By CH
I used dish soap and water on my garden all last summer with great success. The inexpensive store brand worked the best. Start with a few drops per 32 oz spray bottle, every other day for a few days. Then keep increasing the soap ratio as the plants get used to it. The bugs and slugs hate it but the bees seem to still work around it. Make sure you get the soil too because that's where they lay their eggs. Dish soap acts like a fertilizer for the soil too. I sprayed before dark and it worked great. Good luck!

It's true. When sprayed on aphids, a solution consisting of liquid dish soap and water will kill aphids and many other soft-bodied insects such as caterpillars, thrips, mealybugs, spidermites, leafhopper, lace bugs, and whiteflys. Most of these soaps are made from the potassium salts of fatty acids. When sprayed on soft-bodied insects, these fatty acids disrupt the structure and permeability of the insects' cells, causing the contents to leak out, which quickly kills them. Most any type of liquid dish soap will work, but DAWN is biodegradable and contains no phosphates, which is better for the environment.
Insecticidal soaps only work on contact and not as a preventative measure. In other words, the soap needs to completely cover the body of the pest you're trying to control. Dried soap residue on the plants will not harm the insects. The disadvantage to using insecticidal soaps is that it causes phytotoxicity (damage from chemicals) in some plants. Here are some tips for using insecticidal soaps effectively:
We have aphids on some of our plants. I have heard that dish soap in water will control them. Does anyone know the amount of dish soap to use?
two tbls dishsoap (Dawn or good quality)
one tbl white vinegar
one tbl vegetable oil
one tbl baking soda
Mix into one gallon water...then put in spray bottle.
This is really great for roses...apply every seven days. (05/02/2005)

They seem to be early here this year. I took some my foaming soft soap dispenser out and squirted them and let the foam sit. It seemed to do the trick. This wouldn't be practical for anything but a small infestation.
Susan from ThriftyFun (05/03/2005)
By ThriftyFun
Put enough Palmolive Green Liquid Soap in some tepid water to get good bubbles. Then pour it on the plant and be sure to pour bubbles and all on the dirt the plant is in. You want it sudsy enough to wash a butter-coated pan. (05/03/2005)

My Baby Can Howl
Like all mommies, sometimes I'm just so darn proud of my baby that I have to share it with the world, or just those who read my blog.
So here is the thing. In the ward that I live in, Minato-ku, a melody is broadcasted over the entire ward at exactly 5 pm everyday. I heard it's to remind kids to go home for dinner (nice to see my tax money go to good use, eh?). It's hard to describe the melody if you have never been to Japan, but for those who know, it's like the chime played at school.
One day, I happened to walk under one of the loudspeakers with Libby at precisely 5pm. A few seconds after the melody started I heard this really funny hoarse kind of noise. I turned my head around to see where it's coming from and then realized that my Libby was the source of this strange sound. She had her neck stretched out and nose pointed upward, like a little wolf! This being the first time in her life that she attempted to howl, half the sound died off in her throat and what came out sounded more like choking than howling. I was so amused by it that I burst out laughing in the middle of the street, and I think Libby was immensely embarrassed. She didn't give up though and would try every now and then to perfect her howling.
She finally succeeded today! Since we are grounded at home by the incessant rain, Libby spent most part of the day on the couch by the window. When the chime went off at 5, she felt inspired to answer. Still curled up in a ball with her chin rested on her front paws, she effortlessly howled the most beautiful mezzo-soprano howl that I've ever heard.
Bravo, Libby! Mommy's so proud.

Cute Libby! The doggie is smart!
Did Libby have her "doggie translator collar" handy when she howled? I wonder what she was trying to say...
You do have one helluva smart dog, Lynn!
- Hsin said...
All power to Libby! That's the spirit - never give up! Nothing like a hopeful dog to keep trying.
By the way, my Japanese teacher says that tune is a children's song that they all learn in school. I still don't get why they have to play it over the public announce system...
- Lynn said...
Hey you guys, thanks for the compliments! Curtsy, curtsy, bow, bow =o)
Hsin-li, Minato-ku collects too much tax from you and they have to think of frivolous ways to spend it, that's why.

Lynn - I'm proud of Libby too! She is such a sweetie. This story reminded me of when I was working as a piano tuner in Tokyo - I saw lots of pet dogs, cats, hamsters etc. at my customer's houses and some of the dogs howled only when I played an A note (not every A, particular one), I also remember that another dog howled when ambulance passed nearby. I guess they thought the sound was sort of like another dog howling!
Minato-ku collects too much tax because only rich people live there ;)
- Lynn said...
Really? A notes, huh! That's funny, but I never thought of Libby as musical because when I practice she always runs away. Or maybe it's just that I am bad ;oP
And, not rich people, just suckers!

M.I.A: 'Bring The Noize' - Listen Now!
Listen to M.I.A's new song "Bring The Noize" below!
"It was written in lots of different circumstances, but I guess it's coming out at a time where I think in America it's kinda cool to hear something like this," the 37-year-old singer told BBC Radio 1. "It's in keeping with what I released before, so I'm gonna gradually ease people into the new sound as the album goes on."
The "Bring the Noize" video will be released on June 21. Her fourth album Matangi still doesn't have a release date yet!

Oy! I'm too new to say I was on hiatus… so can we blame that little absence on engagement season? Pretty please? The header picture is just one corner of my otherwise overflowing office. This time of year it looks like a wedding-war zone in these parts!
Last weekend I attended the Seattle Wedding Show and met LOADS of amazing people. We are gearing up for our Bridal open House at Canterwood, so a majority of my time was spent talking up the event to potential brides and grooms. Here's a picture of our booth.
But did you see my DOORS!!! Here's a shot after our facilities guy built stands for them. I picked them up off a guy on Craigslist. From his basement. On a dark and rainy night. The things I do for my couples… So now that they are all amazing and (will be) repainted, they can be rented for ceremony's at my Club.
During the Wedding show I also met a few new vendors to collaborate with and finalized plans for the Open House with my Jen from Jen's Blossoms and Beyond the Blossoms. She did all the floral for our booth and boy, am I lucky she is in my life.
If you are in the area and want to stop by, here is the info on our open house.
Even if you have your venue booked, it's a great chance to meet photographers, DJs, taste cake, etc. Get yourself organized for your 2017 wedding or finalize the details for your 2016 wedding all in one place.
Happy Planning!

Walmart is getting much more aggressive with their online strategy:
With some 1.4 million employees on its U.S. payroll, Walmart's world is about as large as the state of Maine. That's massive by any standard, but when you consider how social media amplifies that number, it's not simply a huge group but an influential one. No small wonder, then, that the earth's largest employer is taking greater measures to motivate and mobilize its people -- and opening up more opportunities for consumer brands to also reach them along the way.
These brands can not only leverage internal resources to further build off the boost Google offers them, but they can then take that attention and sell it back off to the highest bidder:
It's not clear how much ad revenue Walmart World has made or whether MyWalmart.com will become a profit center. But the former already takes in millions of dollars annually in ads from vendors seeking an audience with Walmart employees, according to people familiar with the matter.
If Google consolidates markets too aggressively then ultimately they create competition for themselves through vertical ad networks. In some cases (say travel) Google can buy out the market plumbing & then reassert control:
Wertheimer drew some criticism when he explained that ?our airline partners were very clear? that they wouldn?t participate in Google Flight Search if online travel agency booking links were included in the core flight-search results.
But Google doesn't have that same influence over retail & each time they put the big brands front and center the more they reinforce that 3rd party dominance.
In addition to leveraging their workforce, it is also quite easy for these brands to use customer incentives to dominate social media.
Amazon.com is also carrying far more ads these days & they sell ads on 3rd party sites.
The above is another reason why Google is pushing so hard to control the second click. If they can taste the traffic again they add efficiency to their own model while introducing another layer of friction to other retailers.
When users finally manage to leave the Google click circus, Google tries to pull them back into Google with the Google Related toolbar
In the above quoted AdAge article there is some skepticism around how much a company like Walmart can get out of underpaid wage slaves:
"It's really hard when you're a person making poverty-level wages, just had your health-care premiums raised 60%, and you can only get part-time hours, to be a good ambassador for the brand, no matter how much you love it," said Jennifer Stapleton, spokeswoman for Making Change at Walmart.
However I think that skepticism is misplaced, as the less a person has the more thankful they tend to be for the little bits they do have. Most people who have nothing do not realize how systems are engineered to screw them over.
It is only when you have free time to think & are not clouded by arbitrary short-term stress that you can ponder the bigger & more uncomfortable questions in life. As long as you don't consider those uncomfortable questions it is far easier to push anything, because you don't know any better.
"The entire web has become full of garbage. The web has become almost a digital Detroit." - Roger McNamee.
If Walmart's strategy works then this ultimately will be why Google's brand-only approach to search will fall flat on its face. If this is successful I would then expect Google to put out some public relations drivel about celebrating the diversity of the web & move away from brand in the next 2 or 3 years.
In the meantime, I expect Google to keep increasing search complexity such that it's prohibitively expensive to make & market a small independent commercial website. That will force many smaller companies to live inside the Google ecosystem, with Google ranking the Google-hosted pages/products/locations for those companies, so that they can serve ads against them and get a bigger slice of the revenues.
Google's ad network is far more profitable than even the lowest waged employee, as it doesn't need to be fed & is designed to be an agnostic & amoral yield optimization tool. And it is effective enough that the biggest retailers are now becoming ad networks.
Average products for average people - with ads everywhere.
Welcome to the WorldWideMart. ;)

Soil Preparation-
Garlic has the advantage of being easy to grow in virtually any soil type. Nonetheless, fertile soils with good drainage will produce better tasting, more nutritious, and larger bulbs. Amend the soil with lots of organic matter such as manure, cocoa fiber, vermicompost, hot compost, etc. Garlic grows best in soil that is neutral to slightly acidic, with a pH of 6 to 7. If your soil tends to be more alkaline, consider adding some acidic enhancers such as agricultural lime.
Preparing the Garlic-
At the time of planting, break apart the bulbs into individual cloves. Be sure to separate the cloves by hand, as you do not one to risk puncturing or bruising the garlic. Leave the papery exterior on the cloves. Separate the smaller cloves from the large ones. The size of the clove will determine the size of the bulb that grows from it. Therefore, it is recommended to only plant the biggest cloves, and save the smaller ones for eating or pickling.
Planting the Garlic-
The month to plant garlic varies given the climate. In cooler regions, the garlic can be planted as early as October. In moderate regions, garlic can be planted around November. In warm climates the garlic can be planted as late as January. A general rule of thumb is to plant the garlic about four to six weeks prior to the anticipated freeze time. If you reside in an area that is generally warm year round, store the garlic in a cool place, roughly 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, for two to three weeks prior to planting. The coldness is what generates the initial sprouting of the garlic.
Garlic should be planted about four inches deep and spaced about six inches apart. Plant the garlic with the base of the clove facing downward and the pointed end facing upward. The base, often called the growth plate, is where the roots extend from.
Immediately after planting, mulch the garlic with three to four inches of seedless straw, leaf litter, or newspaper. The mulch will help to insulate the soil and protect the seedlings during their earliest stages of growth. You can remove the mulch come springtime, or whenever frost is no longer a threat.
Garlic should be fertilized in early to mid-spring, to produce healthy and large bulbs by harvest time in summer. In warmer climate, where the garlic was planted later, postpone the fertilizing until late spring to early summer. Garlic doesn't require that much fertilizer to grow. Spray the soil with fish emulsion, or other desired fertilizer, one to three times over the course of a couple weeks. Fish emulsion is an excellent fertilizer due to being so nutritionally complete. It contains a nitrogen-phosphorous- potassium ratio of 4-1-1, providing all of the essential macronutrients to the plants.
Harvest time differs by climate zone, but typically falls between June and August. The garlic will be ready for harvest when the lower portion of its leaves has begun to turn a yellowish-brown. Be careful not to harvest too late, as garlic tend to rot more quickly when it is overly matured. Harvest the garlic as you would potatoes. Dig a spade into the ground near the garlic plant, and unearth the plant from the ground. Be careful not to pierce a bulb in the process. Remove all of the excess dirt and hang them in a warm area, away from sunlight, to dry. The garlic will be fully dried and ready to eat in about a month.

Pistons for barrel sealing piston valve
Hello right now I have an old soup can as a piston for my 3" piston valve I have been debating wether or not i need to fill it with something and was just looking for opinions on if I should or shouldn't and if so what to fill it with
Fill it with this
4SPC, My 4" piston 3" porting cannon
Fix up copper cannon
Fix up 4SPC
Start Stirrup pump
Start Toolies piston bazooka
Piston as a soup can?
Answer would be yes.
Reason being is because the dead space inside the soup can will add up with pilot valve area, resulting in a under performing valve.
Mind that you would want to keep the piston light as possible, So i would recommend Foam or other type of light material
Good source of light material is Styro foam or the meat tray package, and maybe even the kids playing mats work well.
Here's how I would do it
Is it a co ax or a tee?
OG Anti-Hybrid
One man's trash is a true Spudder's treasure!
Golf Ball Cannon "Superna" ■ M16 BBMG ■ Pengun ■ Hammer Valve Airsoft Sniper ■ High Pressure .22 Coax
Holy Shat!

A closer look at the sketch:
Close up of the wax seal:
So that's the "special edition" of TBC, four copies of the first press so far, missing a test which I know for a fact I'll never own since there were 2 made and one went on eBay for about $400. Onto the second press, this is out of 1000 so I didn't rush to order one since I'm pretty confident the real nerds were all over the first press. They're all on grey, I saw Marcus posted about this one the other week and I agree they missed a trick by not pressing it on black, but word is the third press may be noir so I guess I've got another record to look forward to purchasing.
So that's 5 copies of the record I own now, I guess the red is technically a spare/double since I have the special version of it. Looks pretty cool, also I have 4 digital downloads spare if anyone wants one, I suppose you could call it a gift, leave a comment if you want one.

Creators: iPad Monthly (@iPad_Monthly)
Suggested Grade Level: Middle- High School
Subject Area: Science
Featured in iPad Monthly
Learning Objective
Students will learn how to communicate ideas, explanations and processes in a variety of ways. Including multi-modal texts, students will process and analyze data and information as well as construct and use a range of representations,tables, and graphs to describe scientific observations.
Project Description
Students are going to use Hopscotch to create a simple animation that demonstrates varying scientific concepts such as gravity. Students will create different characters that perform the actions. For an example with gravity, one character will throw the ball and the other will be the ball. Objects, such as tennis balls, can be found by creating a text object and then clicking on the emojis on the keyboard. Students can also add a sound code for a realistic effect. This project is a great opportunity to discuss and consolidate X,Y grid points, make connections between concepts, and be introduced to code! Use this tutorial as a teaching tool. It is important that students then create their own animation explaining a different concept. This may also be used in other curriculum areas as students could use code to explain a series of historical events or the plot of a novel.
Additional Resources

FBI says to help in cracking iPhone 6 in murder case
The FBI has promised his help in obtaining access to an iPhone 6 and an iPod. These are important in a murder case in the US state of Arkansas. Recently, the FBI was able to get all access with the help of an unknown third party to an iPhone 5c.
It is unclear which technique to use the FBI to gain access to the devices and whether this same technique which earlier this week was applied to the iPhone in the case of the attacks in San Bernardino. That is what the federal investigative service did nothing to let go . The prosecutor who was in charge early with the prosecution in the murder case to postpone the case when the FBI came out with the news. The iPhone and iPod belong to two suspects.
It is not known what version of iOS on the iPhone 6 is installed. The difference with the iPhone 6 is that it is provided with a fingerprint scanner, and an additional layer of security in the form of a "Secure Enclave. This is a co-processor which uses encrypted memory and has a random number generator on-board. If the device start-up will be created on the basis of an unknown UID a key, with which the processor encrypts files which writes it to the file system.
According to IOS expert Jonathan Zdziarksi would be the presence of this co-processor access to complicate the iPhone, if use is made of a technique as NAND mirroring. He suspected that this is applied in order to gain access to the iPhone 5c in the San Bernardino case. He also speaks of the possibility of a software-based manner, which should also work in principle on devices with Secure Enclave.
Earlier, an FBI agent at the LA Times that it is unlikely that the technique that gave access to the iPhone 5c for other models could be used. The technique should not be used in criminal proceedings, as there is a risk that it becomes public.Viewing:-369
