Boris Nemtsov was assassinated next to the splendid Saint Basil Cathedral. He was going to lead on Sunday a march against Putin’s war in Ukraine. Nemtsov, an ex-Vice PM, and ex-Vice Speaker of the Duma, Parliament, was killed below the Kremlin’s windows, a place full of police, and state security. As if to show that the killers had nothing to fear… from the Kremlin.
Four shots in the back, each lethal. Nemtsov’mother had told her son that “if he kept cursing Putin, Putin would kill him.” Putin promised her justice would be served. However an underling on the investigative committee immediately suggested that the assassination may be related to the Charlie Hebdo massacre (!). I have a more prosaic approach.
Pretty Catherine, Soon To Make A Lethal Coup Against Her Spouse, The Czar. For Starters. Putin Wants To Recover What She Invaded.
Russia is a place where opponents and critics keep getting killed, for purely political reasons. The tradition is not new. Ivan the Terrible had some differences with his son. He killed him. Peter the Great had the same problem. He had his son torn with red hot pincers. Son also died.
How are those unable to communicate, led alone love, their children, the great heroes of the eternal Russian soul?
“Russia has become a danger to Britain and the country must be prepared to take steps to defend itself and its allies, the former head of MI6 says.
Sir John Sawers, who recently retired after five years as chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, told BBC Radio 4’s Today program that Russia poses a “state to state threat”.
Sir John said such threats would require more defense spending. But called on “increased dialogue”.
Here I am, dialoguing. The Russian intellectual class has failed, all too smothered by its own nationalism to erect robust critique. And this mood of intellectual pusillanimity has been long in power (I am thinking not just of the irritatingly conservative Alexander Solzhenitsyn, or Gorbachev, here). True, as Peter The Great confronted the “Old Believers” with a maximal ferocity I approve of, he was no doubt confronted to the fiercest critique. However, in Russia the dialogue tends to be between ultra-conservatives, and those who are for some progress.
All the fiercest criticism is always coming from the savages (notice that this covers not just the “Old Believers’, but also Lenin, Stalin and their ilk).
Sir John said he was disappointed how, after the end of the Cold War, Russia’s and Europe’s paths had failed to converge. “[Russia] keep on reminding us that they have nuclear weapons,” he said.
How come Russia did not join the West readily?
Look at the immensely wealthy Count Tolstoy and other famous Russian authors. They are all about a subtle propaganda: Russia is a traditional place. Count Tolstoy, in Anna Karenina and other books, is all about the Russian soul being conservative. And the triumph of conservatism.
That different truth is what constructed the empire, and thus what has to be hidden. At this point, Russia is proceeding on mental inertia, doing what it knows best: do whatever it takes to cruelly grab more territory. Even if it means killing dozens of critiques inside, and risk total war.
But why no books on historical Russian figures? Where are the Alexandre Dumas of Russia?
Dumas did not hesitate in depicting some of France’s figures in pretty drastic situations. Think about what he wrote (all true) about Marguerite de Navarre.
De Sade directed his worst critiques to the Great Leaders. He presented the great leaders anointed by the Lord, as monsters who needed to kill… sadistically all and any, especially the innocent, just to relax during their vacations (incensed, the Ancient Regime and Napoleon put De Sade in prison. Still, in between De Sade launched the Revolution of 1789… from the Bastille! Don’t expect conventional history books to relate this).
The tradition of fierce critique among literary figures is obvious in France by the time of Rabelais. Rabelais made an entire parody of the Bible, complete with grotesque names and the most disgusting habits. Thanks to the disgusting Francois I, three philosophers were burned alive. Rabelais, the son of a lawyer, who endowed himself with an overall education second to none, not just as a philosopher, philologist, translator, lawyer, but also as a Medical Doctor.
Very similarly to Abelard, Rabelais fought the church tooth and nail, in a constant, unending war. His collaborator Étienne Dolet was burned alive, for atheism (and being relapse, the technical charge against Johanne of Arc). Obviously the sort of mentality obvious in Abelard, and the early Franks, travelled across the ages.
Even earlier, Abelard wrote the book “Sic and Non” (“Yes And No” ) about the main theses of the Church. That was in the early Twelfth Century, and the war between the philosopher and the fanatical Saint Bernard became absolute.
It is not a question of winning. It is a question of having a tradition of daring to engage into war against religious and political authority.
Where are the terrible, pitiless Russian literary descriptions of Russian autocrats?
Russia, since Ivan the Terrible, has had the bloodiest, most cruel leaders ever known. They killed, their children, spouses, and other close relatives. They should have allowed to write juicy books, the sort Roman authors have accustomed us to.
And what do Russian writers write about?
A nation with a non-examined soul is not worth admiring. To say the least.

DotNetNuke is an open-source Web Application Framework ideal for creating and deploying projects such as commercial websites, corporate intranets and extranets, online publishing portals, and custom vertical applications.
DotNetNuke is provided as open-source software, licensed under a BSD agreement. In general, this license grants the general public permission to obtain the software free-of-charge. It also allows individuals to do whatever they wish with the application framework, both commercially and non-commercially, with the simple requirement of giving credit back to the DotNetNuke project community.
DotNetNuke is built on a Microsoft ASP.NET (VB.NET) platform, and is easily installed and hosted. Net Doctors is fully setup to design and host your DNN site.
Easy to install and to host. Built on up-to-date Microsoft ASP.NET technology, and runs on various database platforms.
How Does DotNetNuke Help Me Manage Content and Design?
Site Settings. All aspects of the site can be managed through the site setting page: title of site, search engine description and submission, user welcome messages, logo, background, and skins.
Stylesheets. Installation includes built-in stylesheet designed to provide portal with basic and uniform appearance. This stylesheet can be easily configured to alter certain portal elements such as font type, color, bullet points, and background color.
Site Skins. “Skinning” provides users with a manageable way to separate application logic/content from its visual presentation. By applying a “skin,” administrators can completely change the look of their portal without the need to reorganize content – all at the click of a button. Skins can be easily designed, and are widely available through third-party vendors as free offerings or custom-built purchases.
Modules. These modular pieces of code give some form of specific functionality to the user, and are grouped together in units to form complete web pages. These modules can be easily added, edited, deleted, restored, moved around on a page, or transferred to other pages. DotNetNuke installation includes over 25 free modules. These are: Account LogIn, Announcements, Banners, Contacts, Discussion, Documents, Events List/Calendar, FAQs, Feedback, IFrame, Image, Links, News Feed (RSS), Search Input, Search Results, Service Directory, Survey, Text/HTML, User Accounts, User Defined Table, Users Online, Weblog Calendar, Weblog Recent List, Weblog Referrals List, Weblogs, and XML/XSL. A wide variety of modules, with their own purpose and functionality, are available through DotNetNuke community members and many third-party vendors.
File Management. This powerful tool allows administrators the ability to upload files directly from their computer to their portal. Any uploaded file becomes instantly available to be used on the portal, or listed in a module that handles documents or file downloads.
Recycle Bin. Allows users to restore any content, modules, or pages that have been deleted. The deleted item is restored to the location it was deletd from.
Drag and Drop Functionality. Containers and modules are easily moved within pages by mouse, using drag and drop feature.
Banner Advertising. Revenue can be generated and managed through the use of banner advertisements. Through the Vendors tab, administrators can easily; add vendors and their profile information; upload banners and determine their placement; define number of impressions, cost per impression, or length of ad campaign; track ad views and click-thrus; and define affiliate referrals.
How Does DotNetNuke Make Managing Security, Membership, and Roles Easy?
Single Installation, Multiple Portals. DotNetNuke has been enhanced to provide support for multiple portals using a single database. This allows the software to be installed on a web server and support multiple websites through a single hosting account. This is ideal for administrators who wish to provide subhosting services to their membership, or for companies who wish to have unique websites created for each department.
Host and Administrator Accounts. Due to DNN's support for multiple portals, the designation between Host and Administrator is important.
-Logging in to a DNN site as Administrator allows the user to manage settings related to their own individual portal. The Administrator may edit, modify, or delete settings specific to their own portal, but has no access to other DNN portals operating under the same host. This is the access level that most of our site owners use to do their maintance.
Security Roles and Protected Content. DotNetNuke allows administrators to define and assign roles for different user groups, such as: registered users, subscribers, content providers, affiliates, media, etc.
-Administrators can then grant access and editing rights for each group. When a user logs in to the portal, they may access or edit only the information they are permitted to. These rights can be assigned to the entire portal, a single page of the portal, or even to an individual module on a specific page. Individual users may belong to more than one group, therefore may have access and editing rights to various secure areas of the portal.
-By instituting separate password protected areas throughout a portal, administrators can control who can access each area in the portal, whether they be staff, membership, resellers, or buyers.
Site Log. The site log can help administrators analyze both their portal users and those coming to view the portal. This tool generates reports such as: detailed site log, page popularity, page views by day, page views by days of week, page views by hour, page views by month, user frequency, user registration by country, user registration by date.
Manage Vendors and Affiliates: Allows administrators to store contact information, advertising materials (banners, button ads), and statistical data on portal vendors and affiliates. Manages start and end dates for ad campaigns, tracks impressions, and calculates cost per impression (CPM).
Bulk Email: The Bulk Email program installed with DotNetNuke lets administrators compose an email message, choose which users or group is to receive the message, and send the item.
Newsletter: As with the Bulk Email tool, the Newsletter module allows administrators to send a newsletter to a targeted group of users or membership. However, the Newsletter is created and sent as an HTML document, and archived for future use.
Powerful Modules: Several of the thirty “core” modules included in the installation of DotNetNuke are especially useful for managing membership. On a working portal, the Users Online module displays a variety of membership information, such as: membership details and people online (members & visitors.) The Feedback module allows users and visitors to send messages to the administrator of the portal. User Accounts permits registered users to add, edit, or update their user account details. The Survey module allows users to complete online surveys. The Contacts module can render contact information for a group of people, such as a group or team.

Taking places of worship over graves and praying therein and constructing over them and other such affairs all come under that which the Sunnah has forbade, it is prohibited, impermissible... Our scholars have said: And this is unlawful upon the Muslims, that they take the graves of their prophets and scholars as places of worship.
وروى الأئمة عن أبي مرثد الغنوي قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: (لا تصلوا إلى القبور ولا تجلسوا عليها) لفظ مسلم. أي لا تتخذوها قبلة فتصلوا عليها أو إليها كما فعل اليهود والنصارى، فيؤدي إلى عبادة من فيها كما كان السبب في عبادة الأصنام. فحذر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن مثل ذلك، وسد الذرائع المؤدية إلى ذلك فقال: (اشتد غضب الله على قوم اتخذوا قبور أنبيائهم وصالحيهم مساجد). وروى الصحيحان عن عائشة وعبدالله بن عباس قالا: لما نزل برسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم طفق يطرح خميصة له على وجهه فإذا اغتم بها كشفها عن وجهه فقال وهو كذلك: (لعنة الله على اليهود والنصارى اتخذوا قبور أنبيائهم مساجد) يحذر ما صنعوا.
The Scholars report from Abu Murthid al-Ghanawi who said: I heard the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said, "Do not pray towards the graves, and do not sit over them", the wording is of Muslim. Meaning do not take them as a qiblah, praying over them or towards them as the Jews and Christians used to do, thereby leading to worship of whoever is within them, as was the underlying case of the worship of idols. So the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) warned against the likes of that and he closed the avenues leading towards that, so he said, "Allah's anger is severe against a people who took the graves of their prophets and righteous as places of worship." And in the two Sahihs, from Aa'ishah, Abd Allaah bin Abbaas, who both said, "When the illness befell the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam), he would put his shirt over his face and when it agitated him, he would remove it from his face, and he said whilst in that state, "May Allaah curse the Jews and Christians, they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship." He would warn from what they did.
وروى مسلم عن جابر قال: نهي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يجصص القبر وأن يقعد عليه وأن يبنى عليه. وخرجه أبو داود والترمذي أيضا عن جابر قال: نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى أن تجصص القبور وأن يكتب عليها وأن يبنى عليها وأن توطأ. قال الترمذي: هذا حديث حسن صحيح. وروى الصحيح عن أبي الهياج الأسدي قال قال لي علي بن أبي طالب: ألا أبعثك على ما بعثني عليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: ألا تدع تمثالا إلا طمسته ولا قبرا مشرفا إلا سويته - في رواية - ولا صورة إلا طمستها. وأخرجه أبو داود والترمذي.
And Muslim reports from Jaabir who said, "The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) prohibited the plastering of graves, sitting on them and construction over them" ... and in the Sahih (of al-Bukhari) from Abu al-Hayaaj al-Asadee who said: Ali (bin Abi Talib) said, "Shall I not send you as the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) sent me? That you do not leave any idol except that you destroy it, and nor any raised grave except that you level it" - and in a narration, "and nor any picture except that you obliterate it" and it was related also by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi.
Our Scholars said: That which is apparent from it is prohibition of raising graves and that they should be level. But some of the people of knowledge have spoken with this (view) although the majority hold the view that the raising whose levelling has been commanded is what is additional to the natural raising of the grave, and that there should remain that by which the grave can be recognized and respected. This is the description of the grave of our Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) upon what has been reported by al-Darqutnee from the hadeeth of Ibn Abbaas. As for making much-elevated constructions like what the (people) of jaahiliyyah used to out of exaggeration and veneration, then that is to be destroyed and terminated. For there is contained within (that practice) the placing of the adornment of the world into the very first stage (of the stages of) the Hereafter, and resemblance of those who used to venerate the graves and worship them. And out of consideration of this meaning, and the apparent prohibition (in the texts) it is desirable for it to be said: (This practice) is haraam (unlawful).
When al-Qurtubee said "Our scholars..." he is speaking of the Maaliki jurists, and it is established that this is what the Maalikiyyah are upon (just like the other jurists of other schools), that this practice is "haraam." As for the doubt about the Prophet's grave then that will be dealt with in other articles but briefly, there is nothing in that for the innovators to justify their beautification, adornment and construction over the graves of the dead whom they venerate, because firstly, the masjid was already built and present before the grave of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) and no one built a place of worship on or around the Prophet's grave, the mosque was already there, and the Prophet was buried outside of the mosque in the house of Aa'ishah (radiallaahu anhaa). Secondly, the mosque was expanded in the time of al-Waleed bin Abd al-Malik (in 88H) who ordered the governor of Madeenah, Umar bin Abd al-Azeez, to expand it, who did so reluctantly, and it incorporated the grave of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) and al-Waleed was criticised by some of the people of knowledge for that in his time, though he considered nothing wrong with this, and he ordered that it be done. From this, a) no place of worship was built over the grave of the Prophet, and b) nor was the Prophet buried in a mosque, hence, there is no proof at all in this for the Innovators, and everything in those Prophetic statements of severe prohibition remains, and the jurists of the various schools never ceased speaking with that prohibition.

Fame is a biggie in advertising. One smart agency even built a company around it. After all, what brand doesn’t want to be famous? Fame suggests glamour in a way that makes recall and recognition feel like a science lesson. However, while blockbuster fame through the power of mega-media is a familiar concept, it can take on strange shapes when projected into the shadows of the web and networked media. Many big brands are shocked to discover that their fame is almost irrelevant online. The exchange rate for the fame shekel drops off a cliff when moved from broadcast country to the networked environs. And there’s the rub. Fame is a massive asset online. But only if used in the right way. Brands that arrive, entourage in tow, to share their wonderful insights, experiences and views on world peace look like a wide-eyed reject from the Big Brother house. People may show up but only to point and snigger. However, if you take your hard-earned offline recognition and offer it to the world as a ladder up the board, a place for people to show their own star-quality, fame can take on a whole new value. It’s the equivalent of your favourite actor, sports star or musician, lending you their halo for the day. Will you look after it? Oh yes. Hell, you’ll give it a shine before you hand it back. But there will be bumps along the way. In fact, a brand might be shredded - but only if it's lucky. If a brand puts its fame online, it’s highly likely that someone will rip it apart, if only to prove they can put it back together in better shape. That will be a disturbing moment for a brand manager, not to mention his or her legal team. However, this is where the smartest online operators ride powerful peer-to-peer waves straight up the beach and into the bar. That’s because most remixes of your brand will go unnoticed but the fan you handed over control to will appreciate that you let them have a go. But the odd one or two will add a special or surprising tweak of their own and enjoy sharing it with friends and family. And at that point the web has done its magic. The brand's foreign offline fame wonga will have exchanged into local currency that is instantly recognised, trusted and circulated. Yes fame is a valuable asset for brands online. But only if they’re prepared to share the limelight.
"The strategy of moving the same old stuff into a community is a failing strategy. Have you ever been to a community filled with documentation and marketing materials and loved it? No. We can get that same stuff in a million other places, we don’t need another one. Companies need to spend a lot more time thinking through why they’re doing the community to begin with. The problem is, it’s much easier to justify hanging your laundry out for other people to clean than it is to get people to think differently." From the splendid Go Big Always.
Hulu, the online web TV channel launched by NBC and Fox, is small but growing quickly. The Economist reports on one technique it's using to guide the service - P2P file sharing as an ad pricing tool. "Knowing what is popular among file-sharers could help broadcasters and film studios when negotiating with advertisers, for example. Hulu, a website operated by News Corporation that offers free, advertising-supported video-streaming, already uses file-sharing statistics to design its programming and to set advertising rates. Many music executives were reluctant to take advantage of file-sharing statistics because of the trouble the technology has caused in the industry. TV stations and film studios, by contrast, are “sprinting through the stages of grief”—and coming to terms with the reality that details of the illegal use of their material can, in fact, be very useful indeed."
Paul Graham, Mr Y Combinator, has posted 30 big areas that he thinks need improvement and has challenged the world's engineers and entrepreneurs to come up with the answers. One is simply entitled 'Fix Advertising'. Graham is super-smart and a serious innovator so his take on the issue is well worth a read: "Advertising could be made much better if it tried to please its audience, instead of treating them like victims who deserve x amount of abuse in return for whatever free site they're getting. It doesn't work anyway; audiences learn to tune out boring ads, no matter how loud they shout. What we have now is basically print and TV advertising translated to the web. The right answer will probably look very different. It might not even seem like advertising, by current standards. So the way to approach this problem is probably to start over from scratch: to think what the goal of advertising is, and ask how to do that using the new ingredients technology gives us. Probably the new answers exist already, in some early form that will only later be recognized as the replacement for traditional advertising. Bonus points if you can invent new forms of advertising whose effects are measurable, above all in sales." Any ideas...? This might be a starting point.
"In truth, I'm not sure marketers question the value of research any more than compulsive hand-washers ask hard questions about the value of wash-basins. It's just something you need. Frequently and everywhere." From Rory Sutherland, Ogilvy's Grand Fromage.
Smart comment from the super-smart Mick James on the post below: "So "70% of DVR users skip past TV commercials". Well of course. That's what it's for. Linger over dinner and put it on "chase-play", reclaim those precious minutes of your life. But invert that stat: 30% don't. Nearly a third of people who went out and bought an expensive DVR sit patiently through the ads even though the fast forward button is only inches from their finger. Three non-exclusive explanations. One: there is no limit to human laziness. I find this more and more when I'm online. Drag the mouse all the way up there and click it to get that free content? You must be joking. Thing weighs a ton. Two: people are buying into the argument that skipping ads is immoral, stealing even. Soon they'll feel a moral obligation to actually go out and buy the stuff. Three: This is what television-watching is for a lot of people, with ad breaks part of the natural rhythm of the show. They may well have been the only people who were watching the ads with any attention anyway - just because you can suddenly measure something doesn't mean it's only just happened. Is this a dying habit? Only time will tell." Thanks Mick!
TV Revenues - Going And Not Coming Back?
It's a sign of the times that Thinkbox are able to maintain their story, whilst other Grand Fromage wonder out loud if old-school, blockbuster media revenues are not only going, but not coming back. In response to a report from Lehman Bros, NewTeeVee's Liz Gannes doesn't mince her words: "I wouldn’t be as quick to discount advertising, but it’s important to recognize that a lot of advertising numbers have historically been crap, with pricing based on promises of “reach” and other fuzzy math extrapolated from circulation numbers and Nielsen ratings. Advertising will find its place in new media, but it may be a necessarily smaller chunk of its former self because accountability will only continue to improve online." Maybe Garfield was right?
Earlier this year, I went to speak to the (very nice) people at Thinkbox, the group charged with making the case for the value of TV advertising in the UK, and backed by the UK commercial broadcasters. I had a very stimulating conversation but left confused. Their message appears to be that, despite public opinion, we are not only watching more TV programming but we are also watching more TV advertising. And they've got the science to prove it. In fact, they've got video of people enjoying advertising at home. Hell, they've got video of people watching ads and, "openly expressing wonder at the creative execution!" The Thinkbox boss, Tess Alps has presented the argument over on the Guardian's Technology blog and isn't getting much support. In fact she is being shot down in flames. "I basically stopped watching TV about 7 or 8 years ago when we had children because of the damage on family life and their mental development," notes one commenter. Aside from the wisdom of launching a pro-TV rant to the Torrenters and Netheads who populate the Guardian's Tech community, Thinkbox are fighting a losing battle. Even if they are right - they aren't winning many people over. Not least the markets which are suggesting that ITV is now ripe for a break-up, such is the lost cause of TV advertising. However, Thinkbox do have a much more interesting argument that, for some reason, they keep tucked away. It's that TV and web advertising can work better together than they do seperately. Now that's one I think we can all buy. In fact, a client was telling me only last week what a powerful combination the TV-to-web model can be. I've been saying it a lot recently - it's all digital now.
If your sink is blocked for a few weeks and you remove the plug to dig out the obstruction, the offending mangled mess of soap, fish bones, human hair and other horrible gunk in which bacteria has set up home, is exactly like the World Wide Web. That may sound odd but it's how Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Web-inventor and all round good guy, described it in a talk I went to last night at NESTA (which is btw a client). So that's good enough for me. He was emphasising the complexity of his creation which he says will see radical changes in the coming months and years - not least the growth of open data. To understand better the web's gooey tangled mess he has set up the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI), a joint effort between Southampton University and MIT. TBL said Google's success in creating radically better search was the first serious attempt at web science and the WSRI will be applying similar methodologies. (Made me wonder if he thinks the Messrs Brin and Page needs some competition). Other highlights of the evening were his response to a comment that the semantic web was a 'top-down project'. "Who told you that!?", he asked in disbelief, in a moment of clarification that will surely live with the questioner for some time. In response to extending third-world web access, Sir Tim made the point that the current web is mainly text and therefore of little use to an illiterate farmer in Africa who needs to find out how to cure his sick cow. The answer is video which could, TBL noted, mean a major retooling of the cloud. The great man clearly isn't a fan of the latest release of top-level domain names which he likened to the creation of new real estate for 'boring' commercial reasons. In fact, he said, he'd like to be able to buy URIs for hundreds of years and give over their management to a massive, slow, international bureaucracy, thereby safeguarding their existence through inertia! And finally I thought his answer to the notion that too much is expected of the web resonated with everyone. "The web is merely a reflection of humanity. I think the danger is not that we expect too much of humanity, but that we expect too little."

"who told you that!?", he asked in disbelief, in a moment of clarification that will surely live with the questioner for some time. in response to extending third-world web access, sir tim made the point that the current web is mainly text and therefore of little use to an illiterate farmer in africa who needs to find out how to cure his sick cow. the answer is video which could, tbl noted, mean a major retooling of the cloud. the great man clearly isn't a fan of the latest release of top-level domain names which he likened to the creation of new real estate for 'boring' commercial reasons. in fact, he said, he'd like to be able to buy uris for hundreds of years and give over their management to a massive, slow, international bureaucracy, thereby safeguarding their existence through inertia! and finally i thought his answer to the notion that too much is expected of the web resonated with everyone. "the web is merely a reflection of humanity. i think the danger is not that we expect too much of humanity, but that we expect too little."

Editor: Since my first magazine editing class in college, I have come to see “editing” as a stand-in for the way I relate to the world in general. It is a process of absorbing wide-ranging information, locating it in a larger landscape, then synthesizing and distilling the vital nuggets. Finally we wrap them up in a compelling story, one that helps the information zing straight into the the viewer/reader/listener's heart and mind.
Anthropologist: I don't have an anthropology degree (considered it, along with sociology, but stuck with journalism). Still, I am an observer at my core. At the zoo, I find myself watching the people more than the animals. Our lives are a fascinating web of relationships built around unspoken rules and unconscious needs. Transformation only happens when we understand ourselves, so I love making those invisibles, visible, the unconscious, conscious.
Asker of questions: People talk a lot about being "problem solvers." I'll leave them to it. I prefer to ask the right questions, to help people realize they already know how to solve their own problem. Then I'm there as their accountabili-buddy to help them see it through, so we can all enjoy that sweetest feeling: a sense of accomplishment.
Skills: Editing, writing, storytelling, community building, coaching, facilitation, mediation, process.
Methods: Interviews, empathetic communication, peer mentorship, honesty, awesomeness.
Life goal: Enable and encourage everyone to improve their lives by taking healthy risks.

Rare Hamilton “Spur” men’s Art Deco design wristwatch in solid 14K white gold with black enamel bezel, circa 1929.
Rare… elusive… desirable… the King of Hamiltons... the “Spur” is among the most recognizable and sought-after early Hamilton wristwatch models. As Hamilton’s first asymmetric wristwatch, it was a preview of the wild designs of the 1950s that were still more than 25 years in the future. The “Spur” was enormously expensive in 1929, selling for $125.00. It is quite rare, with Hamilton records showing that only 686 were produced in white gold. With Roman numerals set in a black enamel bezel and dramatic swirling, stepped lugs, the “Spur” is the ultimate in American Art Deco design from the 1920s. This example is in excellent condition showing almost no wear with well-defined swirling stepped fins. Black enamel is excellent with only a few micro nicks and scratches. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. The case measures 33mm long and 29mm wide. Dial is excellent. Has new glass crystal. This watch is powered by its correct 19-jewel Hamilton grade 979 adjusted manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.

Acne is most common amongst teens, with a reported occurrence of 70 to 87 percent. Progressively, more youthful kids are getting acne. Depending upon its seriousness, acne can trigger psychological distress and scar the skin. The earlier you begin treatment, the lower your threat of long-lasting physical and psychological issue. Acne might be considered of moderate seriousness when a greater number of inflammatory papules and pustules take place on the face compared to moderate cases of acne, and acne sores also occurs on the back of the body. Serious acne is said to take place when blemishes (the uncomfortable ‘bumps’ lying under the skin) are the particular facial sores, and participation of the trunk is substantial.
Acne is the common cause of areas.
Acne is triggered by swelling of the hair roots. It most often affects the face, back, and chest features such as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples (zits) and cysts. In serious cases, acne might result in long-term scarring. Acne occurs when the pores of your skin end up being blocked, usually on the face, neck, back, and chest. Nobody understands precisely why this takes place; however, we do understand that testosterone plays a part, as doe’s genetics.
If you suffer from acne, you understand it’s more than simply a couple of pimples. Even as the most common skin condition in the world, acne can make you feel separated, unappealing, and depressed. Acne is a condition of the skin that reveals up as various types of bumps. The excellent news is that, for many individuals, acne goes away practically entirely by the time they are out of their teenagers. Acne is a skin condition that impacts many individuals at some time throughout their lives. It triggers areas to establish on the skin, commonly on the face, back and chest.
Acne is a common skin problem impacting more than 90% of all teens, almost 50% of all adult females and 25% of all grownups. Both males and women of all citizenships are impacted by acne, making it among the most extensive conditions worldwide. From the minute we are born, our skin starts a long-lasting procedure of producing and dropping dead cells oil. This dropping procedure is affected by our hormonal agent balance, which varies throughout our life. When these natural procedures are interrupted by a variety of elements, stopped up pimples and pores( i.e. acne) occur.
All acne starts with one fundamental sore: the Comedo, which is a bigger hair roots plugged with oil, dead skin cells, and germs. Undetectable to the naked eye, the Comedo hides underneath the surface area of your skin awaiting the ideal conditions to turn into an irritated sore. Acne or pimples is a skin problem that normally impacts teens or teenagers but, might impact an individual at any age. It results in areas and boils over the skin of the face, forehead, neck, back, and chest.
Acne is a condition that impacts nearly everybody at some time in their life. Some individuals experience moderate acne that does not scar or trigger substantial issues. Others have more serious acne that scars and prevents them from living their life in the way they prefer. We provide exceptional services for Acne Assignment help & Acne Homework help.

Studs, chains, and glitter = space party!
"Houston - we have a purse!" Said no one at NASA, ever. It's okay, though - they get to play with gigantic rockets, and the rest of us have to settle for little ones. Which is why we're over the moon about this darling little Betsey Johnson bag, styled like a retro spaceship!
Even certified rocket scientists can appreciate the clever application of black glitter on the fins and pointed nose cone of this purse. It creates a sparkly contrast with the metallic silver surface, which is quilted with tiny metal studs. Instead of jet flames, the bottom of the rocket features dangling chain strands to give the whole bag a sense of motion. The shoulder strap is another, larger metal chain, because it takes some serious hardware to hold onto a rocket. On the side a zipper opens the main compartment, which lined with custom rosebud fabric. Blast off to adventure with this sweet little ship at your hip, and show everyone what a badas...tronaut you are!

Some days you just can't win. One of my clients (you know who you are) had such a day yesterday.
It started with doing some reprogramming of a Fortinet WiFi router. Normally I don't like to see WiFi in a business environment, and if it must be there, I like to see it locked down very securely: wpa/2 and access by pre-approved MAC address only if possible, and if not, limited to very little access - maybe just Internet for the convenience of visitors but darn little else. But that's me: some businesses have reasons for allowing more, and that was the case here.
If you are used to home appliance routers, you may be confused right now, because most of these will set things up so that the wireless and wired are on the same subnet. That's not how we do things in the big-boy world: Wireless and Wired will be separate subnets. That's so that you can create appropriate rules (policies) to control access to your business computers. Sure, Mr. Traveling Salesman doesn't have the password to your main server, but why should he even get a chance to see it, never mind try to log in? He shouldn't. So there will be more work to do on the policies: only trusted machines should be able to get to the internal network. But I digress..
So, initially I had set the wireless side to only get DNS from the ISP. The ISP of course knows nothing about internal machines, so that had to be changed. My client went into the Fortinet browser config to do that and..
Probably because he's also in charge of two hundred other things - he's the kind of guy who always has other people asking him questions when you are on the phone with him - "What do we do about.." and he'll say excuse me, and then you'll hear him bark out a string of instructions before he returns to your conversation - probably because he gets hammered from six directions all day long, well, he made a teeny little mistake. Instead of changing the DNS to point at his Domain Controller, he changed the Fortinet's internal IP to that address.
Oh-oh. That's not good. IP conflict with the main server. Definitely not what you want. But it should be simple enough to fix.. right?
Well sure. Just isolate the Fortinet and one computer from the rest of the network and there's no IP conflict. Reprogram it, put it back, and we're all set. Simple, right?
Um, apparently not. By this time he had called me, so I led him through the rewiring (or unwiring), and we programmed his PC manually (because he had, of course, shut off the DHCP server on the Fortinet), but it wouldn't connect. No access. Ugggh. Maybe he fat-fingered some other address in? We tried a few possibilities, but no luck..
So, time to dig out the serial cable. Unlike many home routers, Fortinets do not have a little button you can hold to reset to factory defaults. You need to get logged in to do that: Hyperterminal, 9600, 8N1 and (important) Software (Xon/Xoff) flow control. Login , and let's repair the damage..
Except, darn it, I can't remember the right command to reset just the IP. So what command shows me what it is now? I know it's "show something", but I could not remember what. Later on when I found the manual I realized that just "show" by itself would have given me what I needed, but (as you might expect) the client didn't want to wait around for me to look it up. "So let's just reset the whole thing and re-enter it." OK, why not? I know there are backups of the config on one of the servers, so that will actually be easier. So: "execute factoryreset". Done.
Program the PC to 192.168.1.1 (the Fortinet is 192.168.1.99 when defaulted) or just set it to DHCP.. reconnect through the browser and program it to its correct address. Reconnect to the network and we'll restore the backups..
So now most everything was right.. he couldn't find the backups I had made originally, but it didn't take long to go through the configuration and get everything working.. except..
Something was wrong with some machines. Most of his network was now working, but parts were not.. I had him do an "ipconfig" on one of those and was surprised to hear that it had a 192.168.1.57 address.. surprised because the network is 192.168.2.255. Where on earth could these machines be getting that 192.168.1 address from? Was the Fortinet actually connected to the network when we had reset it?
No. Actually, this was pretty much the same situation as I described at Routers and switches and hubs, oh my!: somebody had plugged in in an old router where they needed a switch. Amusingly enough, this was one of the semi-tech guys who should have known better (certainly does know better now).
So, after several frustrating hours, all was once again well. I made sure that the Fortinet's configuration was saved on multiple machines so we don't have to go through this again.
The "somemachine" is just a name you give for this, the rest should be obvious. With this done, you can write specific ip based rules for those machines, and lock the itinerant salespeople out (while still giving them the convenience of Internet access for their demos).
