By Raphael Awen
The last moments of 'Enero', or January as its known in English, with our dancing moon today, and it feels like a wave of gratitude again for a changing expanding timeline in every way, including financially for us at SoulFullHeart. We've been feeling and having 'surplus' and some giant new desires to go with that surplus.
We began 'trans-parent-izing' our money picture each month a few months ago with a 'Month End Money UPdate'. The desire and experiment in doing this is to offer a grounded picture of our world to those who are drawn to us and our world, and would like to be a part of it financially. There is a way, as they say, that 'money doesn't lie'. So today, again, allow me to 'show you the money'. 🙂
After a few year long trajectory of radically 'deconstructing' our relationship to money and career, and patiently letting in a new and arising one, including coming to the edge of several 'cliffs' along the way, and even taking a few guided cliff jumps as well, we are now in an arising 'constructive' phase of SoulFullHeart creation and community.
This month saw 5 or 6 new Facilitants choose to enter weekly SoulFullHeart process and sessions, as well as several new people planning on beginning sessions. At the moment we have eleven active Facilitants. We also had one person join us for a life changing ten day immersion visit, (we were all changed) that we see happening more and more. We also formalized our plans for the 'UK in May' as I'm calling it at the moment. Our beloved cocoon of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is drawing to a close. We are now planning on relocating to Glastonbury, England, this year, where we feel a whole new layer of SoulFullHeart finding its way in the world.
Ultimately, we'd like to draw more heart interest, more love and the more money that comes with that, and roll it all back into, yet again, more love.
The 'UK in May' budget currently stands at around 21,000 USD for the five us, and 2 dogs. The items in this amount, in order from largest to smallest are: airfare, first and second months rent, dentist, clothing, some debt to pay off for recently purchased computer equipment, 3 used Macbook Pros and a used Iphone, luggage, visa entry fees, and veterinary.
We would so love to receive with wide open hearts any amount of money you would like to fuel us with, be it a donation in the moment through our PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/supportsoulfullheart
or a monthly recurring donation through our Patreon:
If you would like your donated amount to be designated towards 'UK in May', please say so, and we will only use those funds for those expenses. Otherwise, we may end up never leaving the beach and Starbucks here. (Just kidding)
Without any further ado, here is the Money UPdate for January, 2018:
(all figures in US Dollars)
$3,926 – Total Revenue for January.
Total Revenue breakdown as follows:
$2,168 – Gabriel and Kalayna's English Teaching through VIPkid.
$1,758 – Total SoulFullHeart Revenue broken down as follows:
$1,337 – Payments for Sessions.
$74 – Group Call Donations for our one Group Call this month.
$160 – Book Sales
$187 – General Donations – People just sending money!
Thank you to all of you for your interest, desire, love, and money. A very special thank you to those who are a part of weekly SoulFullHeart session space. More about sessions here: http://www.soulfullheartwayoflife.com/sessions
So from myself, Jelelle Awen , Kalayna Colibri , Gabriel Heartman , and Raianna Shai , as well as from some near and dear souls presently deepening with us, THANK YOU, for your love, for your support, and for showing us your money. 🙂
Together, we are changing the multiverse, one lonely planet at a time… xo

Heath Slater def. Curt Hawkins
I've been saying for weeks that I'm so sick of seeing Hawkins face Goldust on Main Event, so we ended up getting Slater as Hawkins' opponent this week instead... even though they've clashed countless times in the past, too. Be careful what you wish for, I guess. They went for the same antics they always do with Hawkins laying down for Slater among other things, so while it was formulaic, it wasn't entirely terrible. The crowd enjoyed parts of it, but it just felt like deja vu for me.
kalisto, Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik def. TJP, Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari
205 Live has become so much more must-see in recent months, but these Cruiserweight matches on Main Event have essentially stayed the same. That isn't to say this was bad by any means, but they were barely given any time. With the commercial break, this might have been only two minutes long. No joke. It was fun while it lasted, though, and I give them credit for making the most of what they had to work with.
Overall Show
This might be a rare case where the recaps were actually worth watching more than the matches. Slater vs. Hawkins was no different than any other encounter they've ever had on this program, while the Cruiserweight six-man tag team match wasn't given the time it deserved to be what it could have been. That said, the replays included John Cena's promo from Raw (which was pretty good) and Daniel Bryan's promo from SmackDown Live (which was phenomenal, and even if you've already seen it, check it out again).

text: OLYMPIC SOLIDARITY 58OLYMPIC REVIEW BROTHERSINARMS The Latvian siblings Andris and Juris Sics are the youngest luge duo in the world's top twenty pairs and, with the help of Olympic Solidarity, are aiming for a medal at the Vancouver Games, writes Ilze Ake- Viksne: In an event where an almost telepathic understanding is needed to compete at the very top level, it is no surprise that many of the top pairings in the luge doubles are siblings. After finishing seventh in Turin three years ago, the Sics brothers from Latvia, who, as kids, used to jump the fence to lark about on their local track, have set their sights on a podium place in Vancouver. How did you discover the luge track? Andris: As children we lived near the Sigulda luge track, which attracted our attention from early on. At first it was just a place for us to play around. We used to try to conquer the track using different sliding methods until one day the track guard caught us and put us in the hands of a qualified coach. Thus our early naughtiness grew into a serious training process that has now lasted over 15 years and made luge our life. At the age of sixteen we went to the Murjani Sports High School and specialised in the luge. Juris: This is just our fifth season participating in the doubles competition. Before our Olympic debut inTurin where we finished in seventh place, we had ridden together just for one season. Why did you decide to ride a doubles luge? Andris: We always wanted to ride together. Our proportions are ideal for the doubles luge. We used to say that we were born for the sled! Juris' legs are shorter and his back is longer – it perfectly fits in the sled's body so he lies underneath. I have very long legs, but a shorter back. It is an ideal combination for the doubles. Juris: We understand each other almost telepathically – one of the preconditions for a good run in the doubles luge. Doubles is a tricky event requiring clever teamwork and each one of us has to assume responsibility for the other team member. The singles sled is lower and more stable: in the doubles the two sliders have to act as one single unit. Andris: Doubles luge is a sport suited to brothers. Currently there are the Linger brothers and the Schiegl cousins from Austria, the Broz brothers from the Czech Republic, the Moffats from Canada, and us. What are your goals? Andris: After Turin we began to think about Vancouver immediately. Next year's Games are our goal, and the whole training programme is dedicated to it. We are convinced that we have the ability to be the best in the world. As we are the youngest among the top double-seater sliders in the world, we think we are moving up in terms of physical and technical development. Of course, much depends on the sled, which is our main tool. It plays a crucial role in our sport, where even one- thousandth of a second matters. Olympic Solidarity has awarded you a Scholarship to prepare for the Vancouver Games. How do you use it? Juris: It enables us to prepare for the Games in a much better manner which is very important to us. Andris: The Scholarships provide us with regular medical and scientific assistance and control, and it covers our costs during the training sessions and competitions. Thanks to the Olympic Scholarship we can afford to feel more at home, even being far away from home. Do you have regular supporters or a fan club? Andris: We have our biggest fan – our Granny. That is why all our trophies are kept in her home. She has a calendar with all our competition dates and venues marked. She follows all our events closely, even though she will soon be 90. ANDRIS & JURIS SICS

Our Announcements
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.
Posted by admin in Pakistan's Hope on August 16th, 2014
Beginning from Lahore the two had chosen to tread separate routes till both merged with their followers at Islamabad. Dr Qadri's intents were more ominous; he had declared to upturn the existing government through a revolution – even if it meant blood. To him there was no other way to replace the existing system of political monopoly by an elitist band of familial dynasties. It had to be a 'revolution'; nothing less would do.
Dr Qadri's return to Pakistan from Canada became eventful with the Sharif government's decision to divert his plane from Islamabad to Lahore denying him the opportunity to a show of force march which could have served as a precursor to his subsequent forays in search of a revolution. The complications of his arrival had unfortunately been preceded a few days earlier by another gory incident when a bloodied confrontation between his followers and the provincial police in Lahore left 14 of his followers dead. Why did the provincial government, headed by Shahbaz Sharif, fall to such levels of idiocy remains a mystery. It did, however, set the tone for what was to follow.
Here on, politics took a back seat when it chose force as its preferred mode of engagement. Politics also took a bad name when it was woefully neglected by its practitioners. At least ten more of Qadri's supporters were killed at another head-off between both sides at a commemoration event for those who had died.
Once set in the mode of a confrontation the slide could only result in instability. A political engagement could have helped stem the serious spiralling down of political and administrative order, but that remained crucially absent. Haughtiness and arrogance instead replaced common sense. Playing chickens, was more like it.
What followed was even more ominous. Unable to find justice for his people, Dr Qadri chose to take law into his own hands and in a highly controversial and contentious address incited his followers to use violence in bringing the government down. An armed confrontation loomed as August 14 came.
Qadri's subsequent retraction to instead urge a more peaceful resort assured no one. The die had been cast in the manner of his exhortations that played on emotion, religious sentiment and an open invitation to avenge his grief through violence and disorder. He wasn't, with his actions, planning to bring only the government down, he was essentially setting in anarchy and chaos that could only result in a state and a societal meltdown.
During all this, a chain of events spread over two months, there was no political initiative by the government, federal or provincial, that could have obviated such decadence in the social and the political order. Was it arrogance; a simple lack of appreciation of how the politics had changed with its new set of determinants based around a vibrant media and a hugely more politically aware public; or was it simply the proverbial dithering and indecisiveness of Nawaz Sharif that had pushed the government of a comfortable majority into an uncomfortable position of saving both its own skin and an existential threat to the much precious democratic order? Democracy in Pakistan was still fragile needing constant nourishment through careful handling; exposing it to reverberations so early in a government's tenure was simply, poor politics.
Imran Khan's commitment to his long march to seek the prime minister's resignation and recourse to mid-term elections remained unstinted. In the lead-up to this finality and inevitability of a political show-down there was little by way of political maturity on either side. Government ministers made obnoxious statements daring both their political protagonists to follow on their plan with a promise that the government would face the challenge. Police forces were inducted from other provinces and paramilitary forces were called in to augment the potential challenge. Inevitably and compulsively, the two sides headed into a confrontation without realising where the events would lead. Politics was at the mercy of events.
The prime minister spoke to the nation, at last, on the evening of August 12. There couldn't have been a more lame speech though he did end with an offer to investigate all complaints of fraud through a Supreme Court commission. It was too little, too late. Imran Khan's retort asked the PM to resign if transparencyindeed from such an inquest was to be expected. Clearly, Nawaz Sharif would not oblige.
Similarly, to expect Imran Khan to give up on his march at that time would have only meant political suicide for him. By these perfunctory acts the two had played their final cards in a risky game of roulette that could throw up no winners. The game was now in other people's hands.
The government chose to blockade Qadri's every move containing him and his supporters in the vicinity of his Lahore residence. Unfortunately, violent confrontations only meant more dead and injured; now on both sides. The strife spread to other parts of Lahore and the army had to be called out to restore order. Dr Qadri was placed in house-arrest, incommunicado under a virtual shutdown.
Imran Khan's long march, however, was another matter. He not only succeeded in making it to Islamabad despite the clampdown and blockades against his march, he managed to breach the defences set up on the way to the fabled D-Chowk. The administration lost control over the mob's movement. Its inability to coordinate logistics with the PTI's organisers beforehand now haunted the administrators. Imran Khan was able to establish his sit-in within the Red Zone as per his preferred plan. Negotiations by go-betweens began in full earnest after Imran Khan had lambasted Nawaz frequently from his podium, asking him to resign if indeed a government had to function. The army, when called to assist, simply ensured that the two opposing sides were kept apart while the political showdown went through its paces.
The prime minister chose to spend his weekend, as per his routine, in Lahore – giving rise to popular murmurs of his having thrown-in the towel. Once again the central authority to either dialogue or resolve the fracas was absent. It was becoming more and more evident that a resolution from this stalemate would once again depend on the involvement of a reformed troika – the president, the army chief and the chief justice. They were expected to meet shortly to propose a solution that could see an interim government and recourse to another election after necessary reforms were enacted.
Yet again, democracy under a political order was in need of crutches to stake claims to a government. It was the beginning of yet another journey in Pakistan's democratic experience.

People from all over the world take part in this campaign and avoids the consumption of alcohol for an entire month.
By avoiding the consumption of alcohol for an entire month has many advantages like a boost in the long term health, detoxification of the blood and many other things. Alcoholic beverages are also one of the main reasons for cancer and various liver diseases. Consumption of excess amount of alcohol daily can cause chronic depression and various other such problems. Alcoholic beverage is also proven to cause various cardiovascular problems. This is why people from all over the world take part in this campaign to stop the consumption of alcoholic beverages for an entire month.
By putting a pause on the consumption of alcoholic beverages for a month is not only good for one's health but also one's wealth. These beverages are quite costly, thus if one stops it's consumption for a month, it could help them to save up a lot of money.

Rodney Newton (b. 1945) earned his living as an orchestral timpanist and percussionist, becoming known primarily for his works for brass bands. Until now, his substantial output for orchestra has remained completely unknown. This first recording of two early symphonies reveals a composer with a strong sense of melody, drama and colour, in the tradition of such earlier British symphonists as Vaughan Williams and Arnold. The tone poem Distant Nebulae, inspired by Charles Ives' The Unanswered Question, reflects the vastness of the heavens in music of understated beauty and elegance.

text: The Staggers 5 June 2018 The spycops scandal deserves better than to be reduced to an argument about social media In order to sharpen your argument, you need to know what people are actually angry about. Photo: Getty Sign UpGet the New Statesman's Morning Call email. Sign-up James Ball has written a very disappointing take on the backlash to his tweets about Lush, the soap company that has been attacked for its poster campaign about the spycops scandal. James writes: "To me, Lush's efforts seemed likely to provoke a sharp backlash. It would be too easy to frame as against all policing rather than this specific scandal, and I tweeted along those lines. This was soon vindicated by huge political backlash, and a Daily Mail front page." Except that isn't why people were angered by James's tweets. What James actually tweeted was "I think a cosmetics company using the #spycops scandals is pretty fucking appalling tbh", before adding as a "postscript for anyone who thinks it's not just a cynical stunt" that Lush had donated £30,000 to the campaign of Martyn Underhill, a former police officer turned police and crime commissioner who has been at the forefront of police modernisation and reform. No one but James can honestly say what he meant by those tweets, but it is hard to stand up the claim that his criticism was that Lush's campaign was heavy-handed. His criticism was that Lush was uninterested in the campaign, other than to sell bath bombs, and his evidence to support that betrayed a lack of familiarity with the issues and players around police reform, further angering a lot of people. It is, as I say, disappointing for several reasons. The first is that the spycops scandal deserves better than to be treated as a footnote in an argument about discourse. The second is that James is right to say that dissent is an important part of sharpening your own conclusions, which is why I am saddened that he doesn't appear to have listened or engaged with the criticism of his tweets, instead preferring to engage with a strawman attack on a very different argument to the one he actually made at the time. › Why someone disagreeing with you on Twitter is actually good (even if they're wrong) Stephen Bush is political editor of the New Statesman.

What to Watch For in Electronic Arts' Q2
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) is set to report its most recent quarterly results after the markets close on Tuesday. The Thomson Reuters consensus estimates are $0.58 in earnings per share (EPS) and $1.18 billion in revenue. The fiscal second quarter of last year reportedly had $0.62 in EPS and $1.18 billion in revenue.
Wedbush came out and added EA to its Best Ideas List in a recent report. The firm has a Buy rating with a $158 price target.
The brokerage firm expects significant growth for the foreseeable future, driven by cost discipline, digital sales growth and several key evergreen franchises. EA has delivered the leverage inherent in its business model on a combination of higher margin from an increasing mix of digital sales and better-than-expected cost control.
With its dominant sports franchises and well-developed recurring revenue model, Wedbush believes that EA represents a solid opportunity for investors to benefit from continued digital growth for the industry over the next several years.
Excluding Tuesday's move, EA has underperformed the broad markets, with the stock down 22% in the past 52 weeks. In just 2018 alone, the stock is down 13%.
A few analysts weighed in on EA ahead of the report:
- SunTrust Banks has a Buy rating with a $116 price target.
- Buckingham Research has a Buy rating and a $143 target.
- Stifel has a Buy rating with a $140 price target.
- Barclays has a Buy rating with a $132 price target.
- MKM Partners has a Buy rating and a $157 price target.
Shares of Electronic Arts were last seen up 1% at $92.12, with a consensus analyst price target of $139.29. The 52-week trading range is $89.12 to $151.26.

Message from Mongolian PM Sanjaagiin Bayar
Sanjaagiin Bayar 45%
My visit to China, at the invitation of Premier Wen Jiabao, has a significance quite beyond its timing. It coincides with celebrations for the 60th Anniversary of the People's Republic of China - six decades of hard, but prolific labor, resulting in the astonishing reality that is Modern China.
This historic path, in my opinion, demonstrates the impact of Chinese wisdom and innovation in all aspects of human living and learning, whether in the spheres of politics, economy or the arts.
We are also celebrating the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relationships between Mongolia and China. Good neighborliness and lasting friendship have long been the mainstay of Mongolian-Sino relations. These bilateral ties have rapidly broadened and deepened over the last 20 years and now have the potential to develop still further in the years to come.
Trade and economic exchanges have increased dramatically in recent years. China is now both Mongolia's largest trading partner and its most significant foreign investor.
In addition to this wide-ranging economic cooperation, culture, education, sc. ence, defense and tourism are all areas that have benefited from our bilateral exchange programs.

Judge Skweyiya, who retired from the Constitutional Court in May last year, passed away on Tuesday. At the time of his passing, Justice Skweyiya was appointed as the Inspector of Correctional Services by President Zuma for a three-year term, effective from May 2015.
In his tribute, President Zuma said Judge Skweyiya was one of the distinguished members of the judiciary who served the nation at many levels of the justice system.
Judge Skweyiya served the nation with great distinction as an anti-apartheid lawyer, human rights activist, Senior Counsel, Judge of the High Court as well as a Justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa.
President Zuma said the nation has lost a dedicated leader in the development of the country's jurisprudence and a renowned human rights lawyer and activist during the height of apartheid repression in the 1980s.
"On behalf of the government and all the people of South Africa, we wish to convey our heartfelt condolences to his family and the entire judiciary. May his soul rest in peace," said the President.
Chief Justice Mogoeng said Judge Skweyiya will be missed for his wisdom, humility and passion for human rights, judicial independence, and a functional constitutional democracy.
"He was indeed a pleasant person to work with, very considerate and a peaceable man. His death is a great loss to South Africa and we will miss him."
Justice and Correctional Service Minister Michael Masutha and his Deputy Thabang Makwetla were also among the leaders who hailed Judge Skweyiya for his contribution.
"Judge Skweyiya was a brilliant jurist, whose legal expertise helped in shaping the jurisprudential elements in the justice system," said Minister Masutha.
Deputy Minister Makwetla said his service to the South "eaves a mark punctuated by a pedigree of excellence, integrity and hard work".
Skweyiya was born in Worcester in the Western Cape's boland region in 1939. He went on to study law at the then University of Natal from 1963 to 1967.
He was admitted as an advocate in 1970 in KwaZulu-Natal, and also became an advocate of the high courts in Lesotho and Namibia and 1974.
He was one of the African pioneers in the legal profession and became the first African to be conferred with the silk status (Senior Counsel) in 1989.
As counsel specialising in commercial law, Judge Skweyiya could have settled for a more lucrative practice in commercial law.
"But his passion for justice and freedom resulted in the bulk of his practice being dedicated to cases associated with civil liberties and human rights," said Chief Justice Mogoeng.
He joined the bench as a Judge of the KwaZulu-Natal Division of the High Court in 2001 and was elevated to the Constitutional Court in May 2002.
His enormous contribution to the development of the jurisprudence is known and appreciated worldwide.
He has also been the Chancellor of Fort Hare University for several years.

Oh, there's so little point in embarking on the course I have embarked upon, yet I have embarked upon it: the modern version of "go fight City Hall", "go argue with the BBC".I'm a huge BBC fan. I have to say this, because there are a very tiny but extremely loud minority of sociopaths, right-wing loonsacks and general hard-of-thinking fools who believe the BBC is biased to the right/left/centre, is too/not enough progressive, sucks up/insults the government, is anti/pro war, and would be better if scrapped so that Mr Murdoch's empire could have free rein and save us from any or all of these supposed ills. I am not one of those fuckwits. Certainly not: I actually think that the licence fee is too little and should probably double (and then be index-linked to the Sky subscription price, as a counterweight). But there's no denying that the current BBC management are failing, dismally, to manage the BBC very well on a number of levels. Whose idea was it to sack experienced, dedicated people in London in order to hire cheaper people in Salford? Whose idea was it that BBC-2 should be rudderless and seemingly without a reason to be? Whose idea was it to sell Television Centre like this was still 1994? Whose idea was it to cave in to everything and more a pro-Murdoch, anti-BBC government wanted without a fight? This lack of management has begun to filter down through the ranks. With nobody leading at the top, the middle management has got confused and the bottom management is operating without support, so much so that I've had reason to complain to the BBC twice in the last couple of months – and I almost never complain to the BBC, mainly because it's an exercise in futility, but also because, as I say, I'm a huge BBC fan. I've previously detailed how I complained to the BBC over a trivial – oh, go on then, anal – matter of them putting on-screen, at prime time, on BBC-1, wrong phone numbers. The promo makers – possibly Red Bee Media in these outsourced days, I don't know – grouped a London number as 0208 576 9785, when the code for London is 020 and the number therefore is 020 8576 9785. Anybody in London who doesn't know that 020 is the code would dial 576 9785 and wait for about 45 seconds before the schoolmistress BT voice broke in to tell them to check the number and dial again you idiot. I hoped that the BBC would accept this point and say that they'd try to get the numbers right in future. My mistake: they justified it instead. After careful research, the BBC has found that grouping numbers in "easy to remember" clusters is now policy. Of course, I had to get back to them (they make you go back to the website, jump through all the hurdles again and write your reply in a tiny box, possibly just for the lulz) and, tactfully or otherwise, call their bluff. If there has been research into such a preposterous subject, then please can they produce it, I asked. So they ignored me. Needless to say, I've put in a Freedom of Information request to attempt to unlock this research they claim to have done. I'm awaiting a reply, but if (when) that produces the reply "we can find no record of such research", then the next step is to take it to the BBC Trust: not because of the damn telephone numbers, but because the BBC, like everybody else, doesn't have carte blanche to lie to people when they can't find an actual justification for what they're doing. Who do BBC Complaints think they are, politicians? I was typing my FoI request while listening to BBC Radio 4's six o'clock news. Three quarters of the way through, their science correspondent came on with a package about exciting research done by the charity Diabetes UK that offered real hope for a cure for diabetes. Several paragraphs of about the detailed "scientific study" were read out before, in a classic "Paragraph 19 denial", the correspondent added that the "study" was of 11 people. Eleven people? Nothing scientific, nothing statistically significant, nothing of note at all can come from a study of 11 people. A beat later and he 'fessed up that, of those 11, only 7 had had a medium-term improvement in their condition. He then added a brief disclaimer hinting that the science wasn't up to much and the package ended. In short, the man had come on the radio and read out Diabetes UK's press release. I complained out loud Twitter and then directly to BBC Complaints – again in full knowledge that doing so will be futile and, on past evidence, knowing that they'll tell easy lies to make me go away. Interestingly, Diabetes UK saw my Twitter complaint. They were at pains to point out that they did think the research was important… but also that an 11 person study wasn't up to much and that they needed to ensure scientific rigour was evident in future; but particularly that my concern was valid and they hoped that the BBC would listen, which suggests a lot of things about that particular report, none of them flattering to the BBC. I await the reply from the BBC, even if it is just fobbing me off as I expect, with real interest – and will report back.

If it's any consolation (OK, I already know it isn't), this kind of arrogant blustering by the BBC is nothing new. Many thousands of years ago, when the Radio Times was a directly controlled BBC organ as opposed to the stand-alone, vaguely independent thing it is now, it was every week breathtaking to read the official replies to the letters from readers. "We know best, we are right, you know nothing" was the invariable tone. Nowadays they know they have to be "inclusive" and "consultative" and "interactive" blah blah, except of course when it suits them not to bother.

I don't think I even got the BBC brush-off of old. I think the attitude that had the BBC running text votes on recorded items and studio guests pretending to be contest winners still pertains: the underlying belief that we "consumers" of their output are "punters" and that our watching of their output disqualifies us automatically from commenting on it, because by watching it we've proved ourselves too stupid to comment in the first place.

I guessed this attitude had not gone away when the ultimate response to the phone-in scandals was to add a rider in text and sound saying "Calls cost X pence from a BT landline. Other operators may vary. Mobile calls will cost much more. Lines close at X and calls after that time may not be counted and may still be charged". Freely translated, this read "Duh, you stupid punters, if you can't even fucking dial properly, it's your own moronic fault", spectacularly missing the point that the problem was 0% with those ringing in and 100% with the BBC for inviting calls into recorded programming.

As well as Mark Thompson being singularly incapable of organising something proverbial involving the consumption of alcohol and breweries, the BBC is now run instead by its marketing department (ironically since its PR department has been emasculated beyond recognition), meaning that the BBC's prime objective is now to 'sell' its content to its licence fee-payers.This was all too evident in its 6 Music sell off proposal, where the marketing department had decided that it couldn't understand what the station was all about and its ratings were low therefore "let's get rid of it". Then there's the Sachsgate fiasco which led to a hugely overstaffed compliance checking department being put in place to catch mistakes being made by grossly understaffed journalists and production teams. Problem is, these compliance checkers only look for the obvious (ie. libel, bad language, etc.) which they understand, and you now have the ludicrous situation whereby far fewer highly qualified staff are being policed by people who aren't that qualified.Of course if they employed more qualified people they wouldn't have to have so many compliance checkers and it would work out just as cheap (perhaps even cheaper), but that would be too logical and would backtrack on earlier journalistic cutbacks, wouldn't it? And management never, ever, EVER likes to backtrack on an earlier decision no matter how wrong it may be.You couldn't make this up.

Ah but this was the man who claimed a flat cap was better than a hood in bad weatherPractical man
It was the 'decimate' bit. BR once got on a rant to me about it being a horrendously offensive word, since it literally meant that one man in ten in a regiment that lost a battle was killed for not winning. In it's modern meaning though, it does slowly reduce numbers very effectively of pest species
Nah BR was a good un. Tis a terrible word to use when you think of its original meaning. We say decimate all the time with considering what it actually meant.....which was nine men beating their mate to death

Great user experience (UX) is a hallmark of companies generating high customer loyalty and strong profits.
When your customers have great experiences across all touch points, you'll gain competitive advantages by escalating conversion, reducing customer churn, and promoting loyalty and advocacy.
We specialize in handcrafting beautiful UI & UX designs.
You're not building a website, an app, or software. You're creating an experience. You're telling a story and connecting with people. Through strategy, design, and technology, we create beautifully crafted websites, apps, and brand experiences that engage today's consumer.
Our UI/UX Process, step by step:
1. Research
User-centered design starts by setting objectives and goals. It sets the foundation for strategy, design, content, and information architecture (IA). Business priorities often lack the reality of authentic user needs. What is awesome and matters to users isn't always what we "think" is awesome. At the research stage, we help you to discover knowledge gaps and align your assumptions with real user expectations. We help you to identify a strategy to support both user needs and your business goals. Our analytical and research-oriented approach delivers strategic insights on your customers' reactions to and interactions with your application. Based on the time and resources available, we choose research methods that work for you.
2. IA & Wireframes
Ensuring that the visual structure and presentation of information on an application is intuitive and correlated with existing user mental models and expectations is a cornerstone of the UX design. We ensure that the right information is presented in the right way, in the right place, and at the right time. Wireframing is the best way to visualize data structures and represent UI features. It enables effective communication between team members and, more importantly, allows for early testing of workflows, navigation, and overall data structure.
3. User Testing
Based on the goals set at the beginning of the UX process, we help you to establish the right KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). AAN Systems conducts user-testing sessions and performs detailed analysis to transform data into actionable design improvements. We use different methods to gather user feedback that ranges from the remote user testing to one-on-one sessions. We'll help you to choose one that works for you and is the most comfortable for the rest participants. We love surprises and are always open to any findings that may help us make your product better.
4. Look & Feel Design (UI)
The visual appeal of your product has an extensive impact on users. Although a product's Information Architecture is important, it doesn't facilitate engagement on its own. We employ user-centered design to produce a cohesive, predictable, and desirable effect on the target audience. By targeting users on a deeper and more emotional level, we make the user experience more profound. The change in experience is accomplished by eliciting an emotional response in the user which is tied to their actions and accomplishments. One of the primary purposes of UX design is to add context to the natural behavior of users and, by doing so, to provide them with a story that they can take from the experience. We also make sure your product is a part of your brand's unified entity and is presented with a required degree of integrity.
5. Front-End Code Development
The front-end is the first thing that a user will see and interact with. With more than a decade of experience, we take a load off your shoulders by making sure your application looks and feels exactly as designed and has been properly tested on platforms of your choice. Using the latest technologies, we make sure the design is translated into a functioning code at the pixel level. We code strictly in accordance with current standards and support you during an integration with the back-end system.
6. Integration Support
Our designs and code come with a 60-day warranty period that ensures you have enough time to discover any imperfection. We provide technical support and assistance during back-end integration to help make you completely worry-free.

Mom's Christmas Wish List: How to make EVERY day merry & bright
Alright, Moms. Hold onto your furry pompoms because this Christmas Wish List was created just for YOU. And also, me.
Now, to be clear, I am as "anti-commercialism" as the next person — though I fail miserably at it every year. But doesn't everyone deserve a little holiday cheer? And if that holiday cheer should come in the form of, say, jewelry, I see nothing wrong with that.
Of course, when the children ask you what you want for Christmas you will absolutely tell them one of three things:
- "Your hugs and kisses."
- "A peaceful day."
- "Not a thing. Just being with my family is enough."
However, when your partner in life asks you, you will immediately forward them the link to this post. Because, hey, mamas, hey. There is nothing wrong with wanting a little somethin' somethin' for YOU, for no other reason than to celebrate YOU and all you do in the spirit of the season.

I started volunteering for Glasgow City HSCP, NW locality in the year 2017. I had only just started on my journey to recovery and found it hard to believe that I would ever secure employment again. I was still suffering from low mood and panic attacks.
At the point of referral I really was at one of the lowest points in my life but in the last two years I've been given the tools to take far more control over my life.
I started out volunteering with the Smoke Free Services (SFS), supporting SFS practitioners assisting people to quit smoking. This was only for two hours a week but it really helped my confidence and eased some of my social anxiety. I later moved to support staff in the Health Improvement Team at Gartnavel Royal, West House in an administrative capacity. At first I was very nervous as it felt like a big leap from volunteering only two hours a week. However it was from here I was able to focus on my personal development and get involved in a number of other activities and duties.
I was being included in office life and was able to establish a meaningful role for myself, acquiring valuable skills.
Before I knew it was providing peer support to new volunteers, something I would definitely not have seen myself doing when I started volunteering. During this time I was also able to take full advantage of the NHS training opportunities allowing me to gain new skills which would be useful for the type of job that I wanted to do.
When I applied for a job I was offered a mock interview in the Health Improvement office…I now actually feel excited about the real thing!
The emotional support that I received from the Volunteer Co-ordinator, Health Improvement Occupational Therapist and the team was invaluable as well. It was not smooth sailing the entire time of my journey and there were many setbacks but each time I had one I received compassionate support free from judgement. I was also always given encouragement to pursue opportunities when I was not feeling self motivated for which I am very grateful for. The team also really went above and beyond helping me secure my own tenancy allowing me to have a more secure environment to live.
I am now working full time as a Peer Worker for a mental health charity and have my own tenancy. This is something I genuinely could not see myself doing 4 years ago. I really don't think I could have done it without the support from the Volunteer Co-ordinator and everyone at the health improvement team at Gartnavel. For that I am very grateful.

There are many ways to find good quality building contractors such as by word of mouth referrals (i.e. family, friends, workmates etc.), local papers, Googling online, and much more.
But the way I suggest you do it (especially if you're new to it all) is to use a trusted online service such as the ones listed below.
Keeping Track of Building Contractors Details
Before you do that, the first step is to create or use a template to capture all of the contractors contact details in one location. Having everyone's information in one place will make it easier to find when you need to call or email them.
I've created a free Master Contractors template for you (the same one I've used in my building business) which you can download here.
Now onto the big question of how to find a contractor, I recommend you try these services below:
- Australia – Home Improvement Pages
- US – Houzz
- UK – Rated People
Here is a video demonstrating how to use these online services as well as running you through the Master Contractors template.
Signing Contracts: What's The Process?
So when do you need to be talking with building contractors and obtaining quotations?
I'd suggest a minimum of two months before you plan on starting, or more if you can manage it.
Most good contractors will have at least a few months' worth of work in front of them, and it will generally take a few weeks before they come back to you with a quotation.
1. Try and obtain 3 quotes so that you can compare your contractors on price but also on responsiveness.
2. During the quotation stages if they are hard to contact, don't return calls and take a lot of chasing up for the quote – then I would be wary of using them as it's probably how they will conduct themselves during your renovation.
3. Don't be afraid to chase them up during the quoting stage. Sometimes a few extra reminders that you're waiting on their price will keep you at the forefront of their mind.
4. Remember – most building contractors are generally on the tools during the day and do their quoting either at nights or on the weekends. The old phrase, "the squeaky wheel gets the oil", so don't be afraid to follow up with them – but two reminders in my books is enough! After that, look elsewhere as they are probably not interested enough in the project.
Once you have decided on a contractor and are happy with their price it's time get an agreement down on paper.
Depending on what state or country you live in every governing authority will have different rules and regulations about what type of work licensed building contractors can carry out, and the dollar value associated with it.
Below I go through the process exactly the way I would given that I live in the state of NSW in Australia.
Over $5,000 AUD
Any work conducted over the value of $5,000 should have a small works contract in place.
These basically show the agreed price of the work, the building contractors details such as licences and insurances, the owner's details and a place where both parties can sign off on the document.
Under $5,000 AUD
If the works are under the value of $5,000 I still advise to have some sort of agreement in writing.
This should include: the price, building contractors details, anticipated start and completion dates, and any other terms and conditions you might like included such as building contractor is responsible for cleaning up their own rubbish, who will be supplying materials, will there be any damages occurred if the project is not completed in time (i.e. $100 off their price every day they are over the agreed finish date) etc, etc.
You're welcome to download the Work Order Document that I use for yourself. Please Note: this document is not classed as legal advice, and I suggest you seek your own before entering into any agreements you may be unsure of.
Top 8 Building Contractors to Hire For Bathroom Renovations
Below is a quick list of which contractors (aka 'tradies' if you live in Australia J) you'll need for each part of the bathroom renovation process.
Will help you do everything from start to finish but they tend to be on the expensive side as they literally manage the whole process. If you don't mind running around and doing some of the work yourself then you can quickly save a fair chunk of money.
But if you'd rather not get your hands dirty and have the cash to burn, then hiring a builder is your best bet, as they'll manage everything for you.
Helps you design the plans and layout for your bathroom, and to make sure everything fits into the space you have.
Helps build the cabinets and storage space in the bathroom, making it look as professional as possible.
Handles everything from the lighting and power to heating and ventilation.
Helps you get the place looking wonderful when you are finished with the building and design work.
Handles anything that involves water, making sure that bathroom fixtures, bath, shower and toilet are all working and flowing smoothly.
A vital part of the process. They help you make sure that everything from drain management to overall quality of design is just right.
Makes sure that the place stays nice and dry after you go for a shower, for example.
Ok so we've covered how to find building contractors, the quotations process, signing contracts, and also the type of contractors you'll need to hire for your bathroom renovation. The next part of Stage 3: Pre Construction Stage is where we discuss setting up a construction schedule template (or project planner).
To recap, the 5 Stage Renovation Process will guide you through the exact steps I use as a professional builder when working on home improvement projects.
If you have any questions let me know – I'm always happy to help!
Enjoy your renovation.
All the best,
James Mason

I put off writing about this whole ordeal for a week. I didn't want to rant. The rage still lurks in the shadows of my mind but, for now, I have it on a leash and under control.
You see, last week I spent the majority of my time scouring news sites for any update about a little girl in China. As my husband's shoulder can tell you, I spent at least 20 min every evening crying and sobbing because it felt like the world made no sense. I'd lost my faith in humanity. For whatever reason– because it was major international news or because of the moral indignity– I thought there would be more… I don't know, stuff?… on the story throughout the week on a micro (e.g. Facebook) and macro (e.g.major news corps) scale.
But there wasn't. I had to dig and search for something. Anything. Even just a "Nothing's changed," sort of post. It seemed like this was the story that everyone missed. The story that everyone overlooked in favor of other things.
When word finally came that the little girl had died from her injuries on Friday morning, I cried some more. I dedicated my Facebook status to her. All week, I kept thinking to myself, "If this were Warcraft, I'd hop on my drake and find a way to save her." This wasn't Azeroth, however. This was Earth. I'm just me: not a tricked out hunter, or armored paladin, or even a humble priestess.
I tried to focus my attention forward. Friday was also the start of BlizzCon. "I'll look forward to that instead," I thought, but my brain kept going back to it. When they finally announced Mists of Pandaria and the Pandaren race, for whatever reason, I kept hoping they'd make some sort of acknowledgement to that little girl. I didn't want to be alone in my microcosm of sorrow and grief. But, on the other hand, I had no right to drag others into it, too.
Much of my time afterwards, admittedly, was spent playing with my daughter and posting comments about the latest from BlizzCon to WoW Insider. But my brain kept churning, thinking; it just wouldn't let it go. Then I came back to my status about slinging a bow over my shoulder and embarking on a quest to save the little girl. Since I tend to see connections in everything, I thought it was no mere coincidence that this story would end right as Pandaria was emerging.
The first thought that popped into my head was petitioning Blizzard to make a Pandaren child NPC based on little Yue Yue. I chickened out of it, naturally, as I talked myself out of it. She has no connection to WoW, for starters, and I couldn't figure out if her parents– if they ever caught wind of it– would approve or not. So, scrap that thought.
And that's when I finally figured it out. For all of the quests and dungeons and raids that involve killing and ensuring the safety of the world by eliminating a threat, there were a few quests that involved saving a life. The sick girl in Ashenvale on the Alliance side came to mind. Then I thought of Crusader Bridenbrad.
I could do something about this whole thing. I could write.
If I couldn't do anything about Yue Yue then or now, I'll be damned if I didn't write it all out. I'd said in a perfect world, I would save her. So I'll make my own perfect world and make it happen. Her fate may be done and over with here on Earth, but I won't let her story end there. This won't be the end of her legacy. As a mother, as a writer, as a gamer… How could I do anything else when nothing will give me peace?
For a while, I seriously considered if I was going mad. I mean, think about it: I have no idea why this story has affected me so much, why it means so much to me, or why I want other people to care about it. All I know is that there's this feeling in my chest like a deep, weeping wound on my spirit. There's a word in Chinese that perfectly describes how I feel… Literally translated, it means "heart hurt." But it's much deeper and more cutting than heartache and sorrow combined. And I need to get that out. (Though, if I am going mad, I'd like for someone to tell me before I go too far.)
Immortality is one of the gifts that writers, photographers, and other such skilled artists impart upon others. It's our duty. We take an idea and make it into a reality, even if that reality has no bearing whatsoever on real life. It's a pocket dimension that grants wishes and performs miracles.
So. This is The Quest: a story about a lone blood elf hunter who is hellbent on saving the life of a little Pandaren girl.
I'm still figuring out whether I want to publish episodes of the story here or start another site that's dedicated to the story and only the story, so as to reduce clutter. I haven't started writing quite yet… Mostly synopsis and outlines and all of that good stuff. Hell, I don't even have a working title for the story yet, short of "The Quest," and that just sounds silly. Oh, on a slightly related (and happier) note: I'll find a place to post my short story, too– the one I wrote for the contest. I could use Deviant Art but I've long since forgotten my login information. If you've got a good idea, I'd love to hear it!

The average price of a car in North America is $30,000. That's a big chunk of change for a car, and many people spend considerably more on their ride. However, there are plenty of very good cars that can be purchased for well under $30,000. And we're talking about new cars for less than $30,000. Many of these more affordable automobiles offer style, comfort and power. Just because you don't break the bank on your car doesn't mean you're not driving a quality vehicle. Here's a list of the 10 best cars you can buy for well under $30,000.
10. Ford Focus – $23,000
Ford has come a long way in the last decade and today is an innovative car company that produces quality vehicles. They have a number of neat features on their cars, including parking assist, a foot activated trunk opener and built-in GPS. And many of their vehicles provide powerful speeds, torque and superior handling. This is certainly true of the peppy Ford Focus, which is a great car that is affordable at a base price of $23,000. Also available in a hatchback model, the Ford Focus is a compact car with a big engine, providing 252 horsepower. This is a great car for commuting or getting around the city. And with so many impressive features in the standard package, it is hard not to love the Ford Focus.
9. Chevrolet Sonic – $15,000
Like the Ford Focus, the Chevy Sonic is a small car that packs power and is actually fun to drive. And a new Sonic can be had for about $15,000. With fold down backseats, 4G LTE WiFi included as standard, and award winning safety features that include 10 airbags, it is easy to see why automotive critics have been singing the praises of the Chevy Sonic. Also available in a racing package for under $20,000 that includes a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, six-speed manual transmission, aluminum sport pedals and lower suspension. This is one car that has a kick to it. Plus, it has cool technology such as forward collision alert, lane departure warning and rear vision camera. Definitely worth a look.
8. Scion FRS – $26,000
People who are in the market for a car that is a bit sportier should consider the Scion FRS (soon to become the Toyota FRS). This car delivers exceptional handling and a sports car feel for only about $26,000. While some critics have knocked the car for lacking the power of its competitors, it nonetheless delivers smooth acceleration and nimble handling for a great ride. A rear view camera, seven inch touchscreen console and tricked out audio system are all standard in the FRS. And, the car gets 30 miles per gallon of gas when driven on the highway, which is above average for this class of car. Add in a sleek interior equipped with racing style seats, and you'll be hard-pressed not to fall in love with this sporty little car.
7. Mazda 3 – $19,000
For cars whose prices start under $20,000, it is difficult to beat the Mazda 3. Rated the number one hatchback for 2016 by U.S. News and World Report magazine, the Mazda 3 delivers on performance, style and fuel economy. The redesigned dashboard has been winning praise from people, as have standard components such as a rear view camera, Bluetooth, push-button start, a USB port, cruise control, high definition radio, smartphone app integration and the "Mazda Connect" infotainment system that comes with a seven inch touch screen. Forty-one miles per gallon of gas when driving on a highway is better than most competing cars, and the cargo room in the hatchback version of the Mazda 3 is said to be superior to all other cars in this class, making it a great and affordable option for people.
6. Fiat 500 – $18,500
For a truly compact car that boasts the best of European engineering, look no further than the Fiat 500, which can be bought for $18,500. Available in several different editions, including a sport package and throwback 1957 edition, the Fiat 500 offers some pep and power while fitting just about anywhere people want to take it. It is a perfect car for city driving. Standard features include rear spoilers, tinted windows (including the windshield), power locks and windows, and smatterings of chrome on the outside, including the door handles. The chrome gives the Fiat 500 a stylish appearance to match its handling and torque. A dash of Italy, this car is praised as one of the top economical, two-seater cars on the market today. And the Fiat 500, apparently, has ample room in the front for two people—a driver and passenger.
5. Honda Civic – $16,000
The definitive compact car since it first appeared in 1972, the Honda Civic continues to be a popular choice for North American motorists who value practicality and price. Recently named the 2016 North American Car of the Year, a basic model sedan version of the Honda Civic can be had for $16,000. And it includes standard features that people prize such as LED lights, adaptive cruise control, as well as controlled braking and a kick ass entertainment system. Honda Civics are also notoriously reliable vehicles with many of them still on the road with more than 200,000 miles driven. No wonder more than seven million Honda Civics have been sold in the U.S. to date. Also popular is the hybrid version of this car. Any way you look at it, the Honda Civic is a good deal.
4. Volkswagen Golf – $18,000
If German engineering is your thing, check out the Volkswagen Golf. This hatchback car continues to impress with its latest 2016 model, which sells for a base price of $18,000. Rapid acceleration, fantastic cargo space and a stylish interior that boasts a number of high-tech components put the Golf in a class of its own. Seating for five people, and available in a two- or four-door hatchback version, the Volkswagen Golf kicks butt. It comes standard with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and also in a five-speed manual transmission, and it has decent fuel economy. Plus, with 52.7 cubic feet of overall cargo room, the Volkswagen Golf has one of the largest cargo capacities of any car in this class. A five inch touchscreen audio system, Bluetooth and a USB port are impressive standard features, and at a cost of less than $20,000 it is easy to justify this purchase.
3. Subaru WRX – $27,000
It just makes the cut on this list at $27,000. But if you keep the upgrades to a minimum, you can purchase a Subaru WRX for less than $30,000. And that's a pretty good price for an all-wheel drive sports car that has nearly 270 horsepower under the hood. Nicknamed an "Imprezza on steroids," the WRX has a cool look to it with a hood scoop, flared fenders and a hot rod engine under the hood. And what is under the hood is equally impressive, and the high-performance turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivers a kick. The suspension and six-speed manual transmission have won over critics. Standard features include a multi-function LCD lit dashboard that looks truly futuristic, as well as performance designed racing seats and a leather wrapped steering wheel to give drivers that true racing car feeling.
2. Toyota Camry – $22,000
Known within Toyota as their "world car," the Camry is one of the very best selling cars on the planet, and for good reason. It is hard to top this vehicle's functionality, durability and price. A truly reliable car, the Toyota Camry is one of the longest lasting cars in automotive history, with many of the cars still on the road after 10 years. And it is this longevity that has largely made the Camry popular with price conscious car buyers in the U.S. New Camrys also come with many upgrades as standard features, including leather, GPS and satellite radio. These features further entice people to choose a Camry when shopping for a car. Upgrades can push the price for a new Toyota Camry north of $25,000. However, with so many fantastic standard features, it is easy to keep the price down on a new Camry.
1. Dodge Grand Caravan – $20,000
For families, there is no better value for money than the nuts and bolts minivan that is the Dodge Grand Caravan. Well-equipped, and with seating for eight people, for $20,000, it is easy to see why parents love this vehicle. While other minivans on the market today, including the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey, sell for north of $30,000, Chrysler, makers of the Dodge Grand Caravan, have done well to keep the price of their flagship vehicle down to the $20,000 mark. With family-friendly features available such as a DVD player, satellite radio and plenty of cup holders, this truly is the perfect family van—whether for cruising around the city or taking long road trips. Kids have the room they need and entertainment options they crave, while mom and dad enjoy peace and quiet when shuttling their tribe around to various activities. Stow-and-go seating make the Dodge Grand Caravan great for buying groceries or lugging equipment to little league games and football practices. Minivans may not be cool, but for $20,000, the Dodge Grand Caravan is worth its weight in gold.

The Moving Toyshop by Edmund Crispin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Confession: I love watching crime procedurals.
There's something so fascinating to me about the mystery behind a crime: Whodunnit? Howdeydunnit? Whydeydunnit? Whodatdere?
Most of all, I like that they require little to no commitment to the show to watch — you don't really need to know much about the detectives to understand the gathering of clues and the eventually nabbing of the perpetrator.
But, as a result, crime procedurals usually feel pretty one-dimensional — bad guy commits crime, good guys pick up clues along the way, sometimes in really geniusy ways, good guys figure out what happened, find bad guy, bad guy goes to jail or is punished in some other way.
The Moving Toyshop by Edmund Crispin reminded me a lot of a run-of-the-mill crime procedural in book form.
The mystery begins when a young poet, Richard Cadogan, decides to take a trip to Oxford to visit his friend, Professor of English Gervase Fen. Cadogan somehow finds himself in a toyshop, where he stumbles upon the body of an old woman. He's then knocked out by an unseen assailant and, when he tries to lead the police back to the scene of the crime, he finds that the toyshop is nowhere to be found.
Fen is actually the protagonist of the book, but it took me a while to come to this conclusion because so much of the beginning of the book focused on Cadogan. It really wasn't until I was a good third of the way through the book that I figured out that Fen was the sleuth, here. Those with snarky predilections might point out that I might not be enough of a sleuth myself to truly enjoy the book, to which I will retort that if I seem unenthusiastic about the book, it's because I'm too much of an English major.
The sleuthing was decent; Crispin did a fair job of setting up the investigatory part of the book. And I did rather enjoy Fen's witty banter with Cadogan — in my mind, the part of Fen is being played by a re-Englished Hugh Laurie. There were some entertaining chase scenes and a colorful cast of characters.
Maybe it's because I'm the jaded product of an over-entertained generation, but the action was pretty flat to me. The big reveal was a huge letdown. When an author promises a mind-blowing mystery, then the reveal had better live up to the build-up. Unfortunately, Crispin's big reveal left much to be desired.
That was my biggest problem with the book. It just didn't deliver what it promised. It was an entertaining, mercifully quick read, but I doubt I'll be picking up another Gervase Fen mystery anytime soon.

Small Packages, Big Risk
Tiny computing and storage devices can stow the equivalent of millions of pages of data. But they also offer hostile agents an easily concealable package for carting off sensitive or classified government information.
Lost or stolen flash drives containing everything from citizens' private data to military secrets and plans for the joint strike fighter have turned up in rental cars, gas stations — even a bazaar in Afghanistan. Whether measured in national security or legal costs and remediation for affected individuals (or in damage to the reputation of an agency from public disclosure), data breaches can have devastating consequences.
Managing these risks without nullifying the significant productivity and efficiency benefits of smartphones, personal digital assistants, flash drives and other mobile devices demands a delicate balancing act by the government's IT departments. Here is a road map of best practices — which address encrypting data on mobile devices, controlling access that devices have to government systems and managing devices centrally — for organizations grappling with this challenge.
At the Minimum: Encrypt Mobile Data
No organization can afford to leave sensitive data in an unprotected state on devices that can easily fall into the wrong hands. Strong encryption provides the best first defense against loss or theft. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology,
it would take approximately 149 trillion years to crack a 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard key.
Nonetheless, when deploying encrypted devices to employees, make sure they use the recommended mode of AES encryption. Electronic codebook is the easiest to implement but does not provide adequate confidentiality for files. Cipher-block chaining provides greater security, but because it is harder for manufacturers to implement in hardware-based encryption — especially when using fast flash memory — it is not often used.
The encryption solution must be certified as compliant with Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 at Level 2 or above. NIST certification ensures that device designs and encryption methods have been implemented and performed correctly.
Despite the strength of FIPS-certified AES encryption, it is only as strong as its weakest link, which happens to be each user password. A number of password-guessing software and hardware tools let hackers decode a user's password by hammering away at a device with millions of guesses per second.
Encryption solutions that store passwords and encryption keys in hardware can prevent brute-force attacks, especially since software-based solutions allow hackers to rewind the counters designed to limit the number of times an incorrect password can be entered. The only truly reliable encryption solutions on portable devices are hardware-based. Hardware-based encryption can also protect against cold-boot attacks, where hackers gain access to the encryption keys from RAM memory because keys remain in memory for a time when the device is asleep and after it has been powered down.
Users also represent a threat. Some write down passwords and carry lists with them — often with their mobile devices. Still others may have valid passwords yet represent a malicious insider threat. And some data on a smartphone is available without a password.
Encryption alone is not enough; agencies need to use encryption within the framework of a centrally managed security strategy, including the ability to remotely disable or deny access to compromised devices, or wipe them clean.
The Central Issue: Manage Mobile Devices Centrally
Convenience: It makes smartphones, USB flash drives and other mobile devices attractive to users. An estimated 300 million USB drives are in use worldwide. There are so many devices in the hands of users that on any given day, many organizations remain unaware of how many devices connect to their networks, or from where. With little control and knowledge of how devices are used or their security posture, these legions of mobile users represent a significant security risk.
Some organizations have already taken steps to centrally manage end-point data protection for their desktop and notebook PCs. The next logical step is to take the same approach for mobile devices. This means going beyond standalone encryption to implement capabilities for tracking use and enforcing security policies remotely, including the ability to lock a device after a number of incorrect attempts to guess a password or to destroy data if a user reports a device lost or stolen.
By deploying devices within an enterprise management framework, agencies can implement policies that define acceptable use, such as remote access, authentication, device storage and encryption.
Pulling the Plug: Control Ports
Besides managing devices, organizations should also consider controlling ports to which they connect. But gluing USB ports shut or otherwise disabling them denies employees the productivity benefits gained by using mobile USB devices. This approach is not viable because these ports are necessary for key peripheral devices, including keyboards, mice and printers.
Because employees need access to these ports to do their jobs, IT should employ flexible approaches, such as whitelists that let only authorized devices connect. A number of available device control applications let administrators establish whitelists so granular they can specify individual device serial numbers.
By combining managed hardware encryption with port control, agencies can virtually dial back the risk of data loss and leakage via mobile devices.
Remote Control: Establish Secure Remote Access
For many civilian and military applications, IT administrators must define policies for remote access, including acceptable network connection methods and authentication policies that define who receives what type of access and to what data. Remote devices often become part of the solution by incorporating some form of two-factor authentication.
Digital certificates and secure, one-time password generators, such as RSA SecurID authenticators, extend secure authentication beyond passwords. Eliminating the need for a physical token or additional device by having two-factor authentication built into an encrypted USB drive can improve security because the user cannot access credentials until after securely logging onto the device. This approach also reduces costs while streamlining both administration and the end-user experience.
Known Variables: Educate Employees About Risks
Studies by the Ponemon Institute have found that when faced with getting their job done or following security policies, 95 percent of employees choose the former. Consequently, they often carry sensitive data on these devices against policy or use them on insecure networks where bots, keyloggers and pharming code can load surreptitiously and then allow access to secure government networks.
Employees need to understand the importance of the security measures set by IT organizations. Unless they fully understand the magnitude of the threat and importance of reducing risks, they will view policies as barriers to productivity.
With a securely managed infrastructure of mobile devices, employees could, for example, carry a virtual PC desktop on an encrypted flash drive. In the event of a fire, flood, terrorist attack or other disaster, workers could set up a fully functional replica of their office environment on any computer, including access to all their data and applications. Two-factor authentication built into the device would further ensure quick and easy network access.
By following best practices, federal organizations can protect themselves from the risk of data loss and leakage, enabling flexibility and mobility — and ensuring continuity of operations.

As a follow-up to last week's post on low cost, driverless car navigation this article in EE Times explains that Ford is financing the research. There is good news and bad. It does not look like lidar sensors are going to be used on the production vehicles. However, highly detailed 3D databases are going to be needed which will most likely be derived from lidar data collections.
University of Michigan professor, Ryan Eustice, told EE Times, "Once the lidar reference map is derived, only a single forward looking monocular camera is needed to use the localization framework. Hence enabling low-cost applications of this technology."
The researchers claim the technique gives them centimeter accuracy for up to $10,000 less than the expensive 3D laser scanning technologies used by others researching self-driving cars such as Google. The key is to create a real-time self-driving map by making thousands of comparisons per second between a survey 3-D map stored in the car's system or streamed over the cellular network.
