07 Nov 5 Minutes with Stacey Murray from Murray HR Solutions
07 Nov 5 Minutes with Stacey Murray from Murray HR Solutions
In the leadup to our event Behind the Brand – Women who mean Business in Bunbury on 16th November, we sat down with one of our guest speakers – Stacey Murray from Murray HR Solutions for a bit of a chat about how she manages her day with a toddler whilst running two small businesses.
How do you get the most out of your day?
Be organised! I prepare everything the night before (especially for my son) so there's no blind panics in the morning;
Lists, lists, lists! With 2 businesses, it's very easy to get overwhelmed, so I jot down lists of tasks to do, and it not only helps me break down big jobs into achievable little chunks and it also gives me a sense of accomplishment crossing these off each day;
And try to take breaks and get out of the four walls! Working from home or an office, it's important to take regular breaks to get some sunshine, exercise, fresh air or to socialise which is reenergizing and important to remaining happy, healthy and motivated.
What's one piece of advice you'd give to women worried about juggling family and career?
Don't waste your time and energy feeling guilty. This was the biggest struggle I experienced as a business owner and mother; feeling guilty that I was a working mum who wasn't spending all my time on my son, and the other half of me would feel guilty for being a mother, and not working.
Guilt is a wasted emotion. Find support – be it daycare or a baby sitter, a house cleaner, a virtual assistant, other mums going through it with you… Being supported to be a productive business owner, a content mum and happy person could mean getting help with any or all of these things and more. You might find as a result, your time not working will be better spent quality time with your family, and not worrying about cleaning the house or doing menial tasks. It's quality time over quantity… So forget feeling guilty, get help where you need it, and start achieving your goals!
What do you think your key to success is?
There are many, but if I had to choose just one, it is perseverance. Business isn't easy, and there are many setbacks, failures and rejections, kinks in well laid plans, times when you question why you're doing it, or panic because you don't know how to do it all. There are many days where giving up seems like an option. But… persevering is about moving forward despite these moments and days. Knowing these feelings and moments are temporary and understanding my 'why', my reason for doing what I do, keeps me focussed on working toward the end goal.
Who do you look up to in business?
We're spoiled for talented female entrepreneurs in Australia… Among those self-made women who inspire me are Janine Allis (Retail Zoo), Maxine Horne (Vita Group), Naomi Simson (Red Balloon), Jo Burston (Job Capital / Rare Birds). The HR geek in me also admires Richard Branson for his pioneering and success across multiple sectors and products, as well as his innovation in people leadership and management.
Do you have a favourite App?
You know how I love a good list? Evernote is an app that allows me to take notes and make lists, photos, scans, while I'm out and about (especially handy when I don't have my diary on hand). It helps me make sure I remember to grab milk on the way home or my million dollar idea isn't forgotten.

Moving glass without breaking it can seem like a challenge, but the packing process isn't too complicated. Each glass item needs to be rolled individually in packing paper before it is placed in a strong cardboard box. You will need newspaper, bubble wrap, or other material to fill the empty space in the box. Pack your glasses tightly in the box to protect them as they are transported.
Method 1 of 5:
Wrapping Cups and Wine Glasses
1Cover cup handles and other exposed areas with bubble wrap. Any area that juts out from the glass is a weak point. Handles are the most obvious offenders, but also exposed rims, bases, or decorations are prone to breaking. Wrap a tight layer of bubble wrap around them. If you don't have bubble wrap, using packing paper or tissue paper can give these spots some extra cushioning.[1] X Research source
- Newspaper is also great for packing, but the ink may leave black smudges on glass. You are better off using newspaper as box filler instead of wrapping it around glass items.
2Wrap the stems of wine glasses with bubble wrap to widen them. A broken wine glass is a reminder of how delicate stemware is. To provide a buffer for the stem, cover it with a layer of bubble wrap. Continue wrapping until the bubble wrap is as wide as the glass' bowl and base. Tape the padding in place to ensure the stemware won't fracture when something bumps into it.[2] X Research source
- For the stems, use only bubble wrap. Other packing material may work in a pinch, but bubble wrap provides far more cushioning.
3Stand your glasses on top of 3-ply packing paper. Packing paper is a soft material that won't damage your glass. Try to get 3-ply paper in order to provide plenty of protection for the glass. Set the glass in the center of the paper so that you can begin wrapping it.[3] X Research source
- Get more paper than you think you will need, since excess paper can be used to provide additional protection for your package.
- You can get packing paper wherever shipping supplies are sold, including from shipping companies and home improvement stores.
4Line the inner part of the glass with paper. To begin wrapping the glass, take 1 or 2 corners of the wrapping paper and insert it into the glass. Pull as much of the wrapping paper into the glass as possible. Avoid moving the glass off the paper while you do this.[4] X Research source
- Another option is to crumple up a piece of paper and shove it into the glass. Fill the glass as much as you can, then wrap the outside separately.
5Wrap the remaining paper around the glass. Carefully pull the paper's other corners over the glass. Get the wrapping as tight around the glass as you can before taping it in place. Any space between the paper and glass can mean the difference between intact glassware and shards, so wrap extra paper around the glass if you need it.[5] X Research source
- Another way to do this is to position the glass at the edge of the paper, then roll it up. Make sure the inside part of the glassware remains filled.
- Usually packing paper provides enough protection, but you can fortify the glass with an additional layer of bubble wrap. Since bubble wrap is bulky, make sure you have enough space in your box for it!
- Glass vases are wrapped the same way as glassware. However, the size of many vases means you need to move them into a separate box or storage container.
Method 2 of 5:
Protecting Plates and Bowls
1Sort plates and bowls into sets before wrapping them. Package sets together. Not only does this spare you some confusion when you unpack the glass, but it also can be used for efficient packing. Similar plates and bowls can fit inside each other, giving them extra protection during the shipping process.[6] X Research source
2Wrap all items individually in packing paper. Wrapping glass plates and bowls is very similar to wrapping glassware. Set the plate or bowl on top of sheets of 3-ply packing paper. Pull 1 of the paper's corner all the way over the item. Then, tuck the other corners underneath the item and tape them together.[7] X Research source
- Make sure each piece of glass is wrapped up tightly. Use extra packing material as needed.
3Secure valuable items in an extra layer of bubble wrap. Break out the bulky bubble wrap, but don't pop those bubbles just yet! A thick piece of bubble wrap provides a pillowy cushion for your favorite items. Wrap the item tightly in at least 1 layer of bubble wrap, then use packing tape to hold the wrap in place.[8] X Research source
- Bubble wrap is protective but takes up a lot of extra space in the box. You may have a harder time fitting items into a box and may need to split them into multiple boxes. Still, if you are worried about an item breaking, bubble wrap is worth using.
Method 3 of 5:
Securing Mirrors, Artwork, and Table Tops
1Separate glass components from furniture if they are detachable. Table tops and other large sheets of glass should be wrapped individually, if possible. Look for screws holding the glass to metal components on these items and undo them. Set the screws aside and label them so you can put your item back together later.
- The glass in mirrors usually is not detachable, so you will have to wrap it as is. Take precaution when packing and storing these items.
- Large pieces of glass are by far the most painful to handle. You may want to let a packing and shipping company handle them.
2Make a square grid over the glass surface with packing tape. First, apply rows of tape side by side all the way across the length of the glass. Cover the glass completely. Then, apply a second layer of tape side by side across the first layer of tape. Applying packing tape in a pattern helps prevent large sheets of glass from shattering.[9] X Research source
- Packing tape shouldn't leave a mark on glass. When the item reaches its destination, you can peel off the tape without a problem.
3Sandwich the glass between pieces of cardboard. Lay a piece of thick cardboard on the ground and position the glass over it. Cover it with a second piece of cardboard. Cardboard sheets can be purchased along with other packing supplies, or you can cut them out of larger cardboard boxes.[10] X Research source
- You may wish to measure your item first, so you know what sheet size you need.
4Wrap the package firmly with packing tape. Don't spare the tape here. Start by securing the tape to the lower layer of cardboard, then wrapping it all the way over and around to the other end. Do this multiple times until the cardboard layers are completely secure. Your glass may now look like a mummy, but the safety is worth it.[11] X Research source
- Try rattling the package before you finish. If you hear the glass moving, chances are the packing isn't tight enough. Tape the cardboard down as firmly as you can.
5Place the glass in a specialty cardboard box or wood crate. The final challenge for large pieces of glass is finding a box that fits them. You may need to look around a bit before you find a decent box. For extra-large or heavy pieces, shipping companies have wooden crates that provide additional support. Use these options to increase the chances of keeping your glass in 1 piece.[12] X Research source
- If you can't find a good box, make your own. Try flattening a cardboard box slightly larger than your item. Use a knife or scissors to open up 1 side of the box, then wrap the box around your item. Trim and tape the box to finish it.
Method 4 of 5:
Boxing Glass Items
1Tape the bottom of the box before putting glass in it. The last thing you want is for glass to shoot out the bottom of the box towards the waiting ground below. Assemble the box, flipping it onto its top side. Place a few layers of masking tape over the outer seams. Also tape the flaps together.[13] X Research source
- For additional security, add a layer of tape across the center of the box. This layer will cross over the tape holding the flaps together, forming a cross shape.
- All of this tape may seem like a lot, but you really need to make sure your box is stable before packing glass.
2Line the bottom of the box with newspaper or another soft material. Newspaper is the ideal packing material because it is cheap, soft, and absorbent. Crumple up about 10 to 12 newspaper pages and drop them into your box. They will serve as a bottom cushion capable of absorbing sudden impacts.[14] X Research source
- Other material will work too. Bubble wrap is great, although it takes up extra space. You can also use blankets, old clothing, or towels.
3Position glasses with the mouths facing downwards. Stand each individually-wrapped glass in the box, on top of the crumpled newspaper. Keep the glasses as close to each other as you can. The base of a piece of glassware is its strongest point, but the rim may break if you orient it upwards. Instead, leave the rim facing the box's bottom, where it can't move or bump the objects next to it.[15] X Research source
- You may feel tempted to lay the glass down in the box. While this can work, it also means you're stacking the glass, so the glass at the bottom may get crushed.
- For boxes with cells, all you have to do is put each glass rim-down in a cell. The cell divider will provide some extra cushioning.
4Stand glass plates up on their side. Similar to glassware, avoid laying plates and bowls flat in the box. Instead, rest them against the side of the box. Lean additional plates and bowls against them. Each item should be individually wrapped to provide plenty of cushioning.[16] X Research source
- If you have cell dividers big enough for plates, great. You can also use objects like Styrofoam, paint buckets, plate racks, or fabrics to provide extra support.
- When you lay plates flat in a box, they tend to move around a lot. Plates bumping together can lead to breakage. Also, the bottom plate may end up getting crushed.
- Similarly, avoid laying table tops and mirrors flat. Lay them against a wall, keeping heavy items away from them.
5Fit a layer of bubble wrap between rows of items. Doing this is useful if you have enough space to stack items in multiple rows or layers. Try to squeeze the bubble wrap between the items to prevent them from bumping into one another. If you don't have enough space for bubble wrap, you may be able to use packing tape, packing peanuts, fabric, or other buffers.
- Sometimes you can fit similar pieces of glassware over each other. Wrap the lower piece before putting it inside the bowl of the other piece, for instance.
6Place another layer of balled newspaper above the glass. Crumple up 9 to 12 more newspaper sheets and drop them over the glass. This fills the top half of the box, providing impact resistance in case it is turned upside down. Add more paper as needed if you notice any empty space remaining in the box.[17] X Research source
- Newspaper works well, but you can also use other packing material. Line the box with bubble wrap, blankets, or clothing if you prefer.
7Shake the box and listen for any signs of movement. Now comes the true test of your packing abilities. Give the box a good rattle to see if the glass bumps into anything. If you hear glass colliding into anything, whether it's other glass or the cardboard itself, your package isn't quite ready yet. Open it and fill it with more packing material.[18] X Research source
- Look for any items that are packed too loosely. Rewrap them as needed. Consider adding a layer of bubble wrap or other packing material.
- If you see space in the box, fill it! Stuff in some bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or any other soft material you can think of.
8Close the box and tape it shut. Fold the top flaps over the box, then position the side flaps on top of them. Find your packing tape and seal up this end of the box. Seal the flaps together with a few layers of tape, then, for good measure, tape over the box's seams a few times.[19] X Research source
- Tape across the center of the box and flaps to provide extra stability.
9Label the box with a dark marker. Use a black permanent marker to label the box. First, write "fragile" in big letters on the top of the box. Then, label the box so you know what is in it. Finally, write "this side up" so anyone who touches the box knows how to handle it safely.[20] X Research source
- For instance, you might write "kitchen glasses" on the box. This emphasizes that the box has delicate glasses in it, and it will also help you locate the box after it is moved.
Method 5 of 5:
Finding and Choosing Cardboard Boxes
1Use double wall corrugated cardboard boxes to pack glass. These are the sturdiest cardboard boxes you can get. Since a box of glass can get very heavy, the extra wall ensures that the box doesn't fall apart when you lift it. Corrugated simply refers to how the box is made. Pretty much all shipping containers are corrugated.[21] X Research source
- To make sure a box is corrugated, examine its edges. A corrugated box has a wavy layer of cardboard between 2 flat sheets. A double wall box will have a second layer of wavy and flat cardboard.
- Most regular, medium-sized cardboard boxes are fine to use, but make sure they aren't damaged and avoid overpacking them. These boxes will likely be single wall corrugated cardboard.
2Get dish barrel boxes to organize glass into separate cells. Like the name suggests, these boxes are thick and strong to protect glass. Dividers section each box into separate compartments. Set a single glass item in each cell to give it the maximum amount of protection.[22] X Research source
- Companies that ship glass bottles or glassware often use this type of box, although a lot of shipping companies also sell them.
- Sometimes you can buy the cell dividers separately, then slide them into a cardboard box you already have.
3Purchase boxes from a moving company. Moving and shipping companies deal with packed boxes every day, so you know you can get all your supplies from them. Bring a list of the items you need to pack or figure out how many boxes you need. They will sell you both regular corrugated boxes and dish barrel boxes.
- They also may sell packing paper, packing tape, and bubble wrap, so consider getting all your supplies at the same time.
- If you have any problems packing your glass, ask the employees for tips. This can be especially helpful for large or oddly-shaped pieces such as table tops.
4Buy boxes and other moving supplies from retail stores. Various retail locations sell packing supplies. General stores often sell supplies, along with office supply stores and even some home improvement stores. The selection may not be as large as what a moving company offers, but general retail can be a way to get what you need all at once.
- You can also order boxes and other supplies online, although this won't help you too much if you need to pack in a hurry.
5Ask other people for packing boxes they no longer need. Plenty of shipping containers are used every day, so you might as well take advantage of them! If you know someone who has completed a move, ask for their leftover boxes. A lot of retail locations throw away their boxes and will let you take them for free if you ask as well.[23] X Research source
- To find available boxes in your area, look on https://www.freecycle.org/.
- Liquor stores are a good place to find strong boxes, as are book stores. However, don't overlook grocery stores, fast food stops, and other general retailers.
Community Q&A
- Always wrap glass items individually to provide them with the maximum amount of cushioning.
- Boxes should be filled with as much packing material as you can fit in them.
- Avoid stacking glass items on top of one another. This increases the chance of them breaking.
- Even if you take as many precautions as possible, you may still end up with broken glasses. It happens sometimes. All you can do is minimize the risk.
- Newspaper is a handy packing material, but it can leave ink stains on glass. Avoid wrapping glass in it if possible.Thanks!

Remember....this is my family we're talking about here, so absolutely nothing is normal...not even the way we kill a wasp.
We (the kids and I) were a having a nice leisurely morning, hanging out playing, when all-of-the-sudden, out of nowhere, a wasp comes flying into our life (inside the house). This, of course, totally freaks out the kids. Gavin is not just afraid of wasps, bees and the like - he is petrified. At the mere sight of them he starts shaking and crying. So, I immediately switch into 'mother bear' mode and must protect my precious cubs..uh, I mean children, from imminent danger. Thankfully, I don't have to really protect them (meaning kill the wasp) I just have to keep him at bay until Daddy gets home. I, too, am terrified of those flying little creatures and prefer to lock my self in a closet until they are no more. So, I stood guard and kept a keen eye fixed solely on the menacing little creature, with my cubs securely in place behind me, until Daddy got home.
Chuck had already planned to come home at lunch - little did he know, he was also going to be our hero during our darkest hour today. He comes in the door and everyone screams at once, "THERE'S A WASP IN THE HOUSE!" Since I never once lost sight of the little thing, I knew his precise location and movements. The only problem was the wasp was hovering in a window 25 feet up in the air with no way to reach him. Chuck decided, that since the wasp was staying put for now, he may as well eat his lunch and decide on his modus operandi of attack to use for the challenge that lie ahead.
Lunch has culminated and two of the three children have been put safely in their rooms for a nap. Now I only have one cub left to worry about and Chuck has decided to recruit him to help fight the wasp. I was shocked that Gavin didn't run in the opposite direction flailing his arms wildly at the mere mention of such an atrocity. I think the thrill seeker in him came out and he was able to subdue his intense fear long enough to be 'Daddy's Special Helper' - plus the fact that he knew his Dad was there to protect him probably helped a bit too.
Chuck thought long and hard and decided that the best thing to do would be to throw balls at the wasp to scare him down from the lofty window sill. Thankfully, he was thinking more in-line of the Nerf type balls. Breaking a window would only be an invitation for the entire wasp colony living outside of it, to come in all at once and join their little trouble maker friend wreaking havoc already, inside our house. So, it was my duty to round up all the Nerf-like balls we owned. Can you believe we own 6 of them? Gavin was stationed at the top of the stairs that has a direct view of the window sill (yet, is about 15 feet away). I was crouching behind the sofa - no, that's what I wanted to be doing, instead, I think I was probably doing the dishes. Something, anything to keep my mind off the drama currently unfolding in the room adjacent to me.
So, there's Chuck, all dressed up in his work clothes, throwing balls at our windows. I was given the new role of 'ball catcher' at this point. It's about 100 degrees outside and maybe 80 degrees inside. After about the 40th pitch he finally scares it away from its hiding place. Chuck told me later in confidence (after his bout with near death was over) that he went way over his pitch count without a warm-up first. He is now drenched with sweat but running like a mad man up the stairs to try to kill this wasp before it heads straight for Gavin who is still obediently standing at the top of the stairs watching his greatest fear fly right at him.
I was not an eye witness to the events that unfolded after this point, but I heard everything. Above me I hear boom, boom, bang, wham, blatt, bonk. It sounded as if Chuck & Gavin are bouncing off the walls while wrestling the poor creature to a sad and scary death. Finally, Chuck comes back down with a look of triumph on his face, with his dress shirt and undershirt completely off and only his slacks and dress shoes on and sweat dripping down his forehead. I don't know what that wasp did - but it DID NOT win!! My husband the wasp killer!!!! Way to go, baby!
From what Gavin tells me, after the wasp was coming at him, Daddy leapt the stairs three at a time to save his precious first born and took a flying leap at him (not Gavin, the wasp) with the powerful fly swatter. Gavin ducked and Daddy continued after the thing until he had him cornered, where Chuck then used his powerful precision skill of fly swattery to hit the insect up against the wall. This blow only stunned the wasp for a brief moment - but enough for Chuck to gather more momentum for his next and final blow which prematurely ended the life of the wasp who, during his dying moment, surely regretted ever trying to come into this crazy house.

ASTI CEO Loh Soon Gnee resigns from group without successor; cites personal reasons
Corporate moves
SINGAPORE (April 8): Michael Loh Soon Gnee, who has held the position of ASTI Holdings' CEO since July 2013, has resigned citing "personal reasons" as he moves on to transition his duties within the next 12 months. Loh is also resigning as CEO from the group's respective 44.5%- and 49.6%-owned subsidiaries, Dragon Group International and Advanced Systems Automation. Both ASTI Holdings and Dragon Group are listed on the Mainboard of the Singapore Exchange, while Advanced Systems is a Catalist-listed firm. All three entities said in late night filings on Sunday that their respective boards are currently in the midst of identifying and reviewing both internal and external candidates in their search for Loh's successor. Loh will continue to work closely with the boards of these companies in achieving a smooth transition, while further announcements on his last day of service for the three companies will be made when appropriate.In their announcements, ASTI, Dragon Group and Advanced Systems emphasise that their individual business units have "capable senior management" who have been working with them for 8-25 years, over 10 years, and between 4-20 years, respectively.

Instructors of A Course in Miracles Make Rare Visit to Wisconsin
Lyn Corona
Lyn Corona, founder and director of the Denver-based School for A Course in Miracles (ACIM), along with faculty member Tim Wise, will appear at Light of Grace Healing & Education Center to instruct on the topic One Problem, One Solution. Classes will be held between 6:45 to 9 p.m. September 29; 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. September 30; and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. October 1.
Corona and Wise have both studied directly under Ken Wapnick, who was the editor of A Course in Miracles and is considered the most experienced teacher of the ACIM. It is unusual for instructors to presentclasses outside of Denver, says Light of Grace Reverend Kris Nelsen, so Milwaukeeans have a unique opportunity to meet the teachers in person, hear their teachings directly and ask questions.
"Attendees can gain a better understanding of A Course in Miracles, and meet local people that have experienced the value of the teachings—such as the peace achieved through the practice of love, forgiveness and unity," says Nelsen. "Light of Grace is devoted to ACIM principles."
Location: 5900 W. National Ave., West Allis. For more information or to RSVP, call 414-258-5555 or visit LightOfGrace.Church.


text: Things in my life are never normal. Well, what is normal. I got a new roof on my house about 8 years ago. Due to weather, storms, damage, done wrong over 2 layers, nails popping through, and insurance man waited too long to file, I had to get a new roof again. I tried for 8 years to get someone over here to fix or redo, but never got anyone from Morrilton. Rain has poured in for 8 years in the sunroom. I found a couple of men in Perry County that were so nice and put me on the list. They came last week with a big crew and did it in two days. Cleaned up and everything from the old 3 roofs taken away. Best money I have spent in years. It has rained 4 times and I now have no leaks!!! YEA!!!

"Eii borga! Is this the state of affairs in your refrigerator? I didn't think things were this bad for you." Kojo could not hide his surprise when he opened Nana's fridge and found it completely empty.
Kojo had known Nana for almost a year since they met at one of the writers and readers grotto; a program held for writers and readers to help them sharpen their writing skills and get them to learn from other renowned writers. Kojo was there by the invitation a friend to see how it was done while Nana was there to read one of his write-ups and learn from others. They linked up after the program and discovered that they went to the same senior high school – Presbyterian Boys Secondary School, Legon. Nana was in the General Arts programme while Kojo did Visual Arts. Their friendship grew ever since.
"Boy, you have no idea what the state of the economy is. A Daddy's boys like you wouldn't feel the heat of the economy when you have everything planned out of you." Nana replied from behind his laptop where he was trying to finish a story for the week.
"My guy, stop what you're saying. What do you mean I'm a Daddy's boy? If you knew the fire in which I find myself at this point you won't sit there and tell me that bosh." Kojo replied.
"You, in fire? Hahahahahaha. Wait, wait, wait, let me guess. You and Rosemary fought again?" Nana teased.
Kojo shifted his attention from his phone and gave his friend a stern look. His eyes were cold and dark, his face had the expression that said, "I could kill you right now". He pressed his lips together to stop himself from saying what was about to come out. Nana didn't realize all these as he was focused on his laptop. For all he knew Kojo was just upset because he most likely had a quarrel with his girlfriend – Rosemary. It wouldn't be the first time and probably wouldn't be the last time. Kojo was too sensitive and couldn't just let some things go. He always took everything personal.
"Why at all are you like that, Nana? Must everything be about a lady? I'm in serious trouble brother and it has nothing to do with Rosemary. We're cool." Kojo said finally, trying very hard to remain calm.
Nana slowly turned around the chair he sat on and faced his friend. What could possibly be bothering Kojo to get him so worked up? – he thought.
"Indulge me, my brother; what is getting you so worked up?" Nana enquired.
"Nana, I think Ashorkor has bewitched my Dad." Kojo said with a sad look on his face.
Nana's jaw dropped. Did he hear his friend right? Nana could not believe his ears nor his friend. In this day and age, people still believed in this archaic and primitive practise we grew up seeing in African movies? He almost burst into laughter but the look on Kojo's face constrained him. "Who still believed in these things?" Nana thought.
"Did you hear what I said?" Kojo prompted Nana when he did not get any response from Nana.
"Mhat? Yes. Yeah, of course, I heard you. I'm sorry I was thinking about something. Could you repeat that again, you were saying your dad was what?" Nana managed to say.
Kojo gave him a piercing look that showed his displeasure about Nana's lack of interest in the conversation.
"You know what, never mind. It's nothing really, I'm just tired. I should be on my way now man, I need to get some groceries from the store." Kojo lied to avoid the conversation and got up to leave.
It did not matter how many times Nana apologized, Kojo would not stay. If he (Nana) was not interested in what he (Kojo) had to say, he might as well just leave and give him chance to focus on whatever he was doing on his laptop. Nana felt bad as Kojo left, he realized he had been insensitive. His friend needed him and he did not avail himself. The guilt he felt was so much he could not focus on his story when he tried to continue. He tried calling Kojo to apologize again but Kojo's phone was off. "Hey probably turned it off to avoid me" Nana muttered to himself when the call did not go through.
On his way home Kojo decided to get something to eat. He entered the restaurant just about some few kilometers away from Nana's house. He couldn't believe the number of people at the restaurant at that time of the day. On one corner was one who looked like he was late for a meeting but had to finish with the food in front him. Then he turned and saw another young man who would probably be in his early forties, "Shouldn't you be married and be enjoying some homemade food at your age?" Kojo asked in his head and smiled to himself. Kojo was contemplating on what to order when the waiter came to take his order. Without looking at the menu he asked to be served with fufu with groundnut soup and goat meat. The man he saw earlier devouring his food in a hurry sort of aroused his appetite to order for that food.
After mumbling something he called praying, Kojo began to delve deep into his food. He was so focused he wouldn't even turn to look at the ladies laughing their hearts out at the next table. Kojo removed his handkerchief to wipe the sweat that had gathered over his face and almost dripping into his soup. As he moved his hand with the handkerchief in it, to the left side of his face exposing his right eye something caught his eye. He quickly removed his hand from his face to see clearly what he thought he had seen. And there it was – Ashorkor was seated in the left corner close to the bar of the restaurant. "that's her, the back of her trimmed hair, those were the same shoes she wore the first time she was at the house; and who was that he was sitting there with looking so cozy?"– Kojo thought. He almost got up to go over that table to confront her but he thought against it. He secretly took a photo of them with his phone and kept his cool.
Kojo did not finish his food. He signaled the waiter to bring the bill; he paid the money and gave him a tip for his warm service, and left. He made sure Ashorkor did not see him leave the restaurant; she would meet him at home and he would see what creative lie she would come up with.
Kojo got to the house and met his father in the parlor. Esi was sitting at his feet playing with her doll while his father was buried in the book he was reading. The television was on but it was on mute. The two did not seem to notice his presence as he walked in.
"Daddy. You're home. I didn't expect to see you at home by this time." Kojo announced his presence.
"Yeah, Kojo, I've been home all day, I just decided to stay at home with my princess and spend some time with her." Mr. Appiah replied and smiled at his son.
"That's good, daddy, it's good to spend time with family." Kojo said thinking his father was referring to Esi.
Mr. Appiah just smiled still buried in the book he was reading.
"Daddy, can I speak with you for a minute. I realize you're reading but this is very important and I think you should know." Kojo ignored all the red lights his father was showing him not to disturb him.
Mr. Appiah slowly raised his head to look at his son. He did not look very pleased with Kojo disrupting his reading. The look he saw on Kojo's face made him decide to indulge him.
"What is it, Kojo?" Mr. Appiah enquired with his left eyebrow raised.
"I know I promised to mind my own business and not bother you and Ashorkor again; but I think you should know this. I went to Nana's place this afternoon and on my way back I decided to get something to eat at the restaurant just after his house. As I sat there eating my food you won't believe…"
"Darling, food is ready, please. Hey baby girl; Esi, are you hungry?" Ashorkor voice was heard before she surfaced from the kitchen with an apron and a napkin on her shoulder.
Kojo froze.

The last time Elizabeth Kostova lectured at Warren Wilson College, her discussion focused on Eastern Europe and her first book, "The Historian." Twelve years later, The New York Times bestselling novelist returns as the Harwood-Cole Memorial Lecturer. This time, Kostova will present "The Moral of the Story: Research, Ethics and Culture in 'The Shadow Land.'"
The Harwood-Cole Memorial Lecture featuring Elizabeth Kostova is set for today at 3 p.m. in the Kittredge Community Arts Center. Admission is free, but seat reservations are requested. Visit goo.gl/Efdqtj to reserve your space.
The Harwood-Cole Memorial Lecture Series leads to the inauguration of Warren Wilson College President Lynn Morton in May.
"The Shadow Land" follows a woman's journey to uncover details about a violinist whose life was marred by communist oppression. As the musician's story comes to light, Kostova "recounts the horrors men perpetrated against fellow men" in a Bulgarian gulag. She "also recalls their small, salvational acts of goodness," according to the Los Angeles Review of Books. The work led The New York Times to call Kostova "a clearheaded, elegant writer with a sneaky gift for incorporating the history and culture" into a novel.
Kostova's focus on Bulgaria is an important part of the work. As NPR noted, "Kostova first visited Bulgaria in 1989, where she met her husband (and fellow Warren Wilson College alumnus) Georg Kostov. … Her interest in the country is deep."

There are a lot of different styles in the classrooms. Some people wear workout clothes, and I've seen people in suits. Mostly we're somewhere in the middle, with a large percentage of people in jeans, T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters, and flip-flops. Not all at once, of course.
People wear all kinds of things to class. Really, I have seen a wide range of clothing from girls wearing cute, designer clothes, to people wearing tennis shoes, sweat pants, t-shirt, and no makeup on. It really is whatever you feel like wearing that day. I would say the majority of college students wear a typical jeans and t-shirt. Not many people can really afford to be wearing awesome "chic" outfits every single day, although there are some people who are really into style. Especially during the spring, the girls are very dressy because they can finally wear their spring clothes!

If you have had success finding or selling a Acura NSX and would like to leave a small finders or sellers fee, of course we'll accept it, but do not feel in any way obligated. We love what we do!
Car Enthusiast Guides is envisioned as a way for car enthusiasts to help other enthusiasts find their perfect car
Email: email@example.com
Jon Martin
Fort Collins, CO
Brilliantly maintained, one-owner example! Only 25,000 original miles, all original paint, all original documentation including window sticker, all keys, service records, and more! Tastefully upgraded with Comptech and Science of Speed components! Excellent condition in every respect!
From concept to reality, the Acura NSX spent seven dedicated years on the tracks to refine it to its peak level of performance before being offered to the public. With Honda's engineering team instructed to use whatever means necessary to create a car that was both reliable enough for both street and track use, but also exceeded the performance and design qualities of any performance sports car coming out of Europe. They utilized their connection to the Formula 1 racing circuit thoroughly with driver incite from Japan's Satoru Nakajima, 3-time world Champion Ayrton Senna from Brazil, and America's Bobby Rahal to tune the chassis rigidity and road handling characteristics to be second to none! It debuted in 1991 using the Acura nameplate in the USA and became Automobile magazine's Car of the Year!
A great deal of the car's success lies in the lightweight design. It was the first production car to utilize an all-aluminum, ultra light monocoque body, ultra rigid aluminum alloy frame, and 4-wheel independent aluminum double wishbone suspension components. This all aiding in shedding unnecessary pounds, increasing overall chassis rigidity, and improving handling!
We are very excited to offer this 1994 Acura NSX (#126) finished in striking Formula Red over Black leather interior! This car comes to us in superb condition and only 25,149 original miles! Powered by the robust, high-revving 3.0L VTEC engine with variable valve timing, titanium connecting rods, and forged aluminum pistons producing a stout 270 horsepower built with an incredible 8,000rpm redline! Options include 5-speed manual transmission, automatic climate control, Bose audio system, tilt/telescopic steering column, dual power seats, power windows & mirrors, power locks with remote entry, cruise control, full dash instrumentation, and forged 16" front & 17" rear 7-spoke light alloy wheels! Honda nailed their intentions to manufacture a reliable supercar! History has already proven these cars to be as carefree with maintenance as a modern day Accord!
This wonderfully cared far example sold new from Acura Southwest based in Houston, TX on February 26th, 1994 where it stayed with its original owner since new! It has been properly serviced from day one by only Acura trained technicians using Mobil 1 synthetic oil, with all service records being provided to the next owner. This included a timing belt and water pump replacement completed on this engine at 24,005 miles by Sterling McCall Acura in Houston, TX. New spark plugs and Mobil 1 oil/filter change at 24,853 miles. It has been upgraded with an ARK Racing stainless steel performance exhaust system with polished tips, along with Comptech headers & carbon fiber cold air intake with K&N air filter, Cantrell Concepts radiator shield & custom carbon fiber engine cover, short throw shift kit, and Zanardi NSX floor mats with red accents! The exhaust note is every bit as sexy as a Ferrari with a perfect, throaty pitch! The original exhaust, exhaust manifolds, coolant reservoir, engine covers, etc. are included too, if you want it back to all stock specifications.
This car is amazingly quick and incredibly easy to drive! Also included with this car will be all original keys including the special Titanium key, original window sticker, delivery checklist, all original manuals, 1994 dealership brochures, clean CarFax report, NSX padded tool mat, two fitted car covers for times of storage. It has never had any paintwork, no accidents, never smoked in, and remains in excellent condition! This is collector quality with all the right attributes! For those driver enthusiasts looking for a fast, agile sports car without the maintenance headaches, look no further!!

The karst terrain of Guizhou in southwestern China is ecologically fragile, but has undergone severe heavy metal contamination. To assess such contamination, the spatial distribution of cadmium (Cd) within soils was studied in a lead (Pb)-zinc (Zn) smelting area, coal mining area, Pb-Zn mining area, sewage irrigation area, and an uncontaminated area. Cd concentrations were highest in topsoil, with the highest value of 23.36 mg/kg in the Pb-Zn mining area and lowest value of 0.46 mg/kg in the uncontaminated area. Cd content decreased from 0 to 0.8 m depth, then sharply increased, reflecting Cd precipitation within the contaminated soil profiles. Migration of Cd within the soil was affected by organic content in the Pb-Zn smelting area (R2 = 0.99**), coal mining area (r = 0.72*), and Pb-Zn mining area (r = 0.73*). In contrast, Cd accumulated within a clay horizon in the uncontaminated area, where the correlation between Cd and specific surface area was 0.78**; Cd concentrations reached 2.11 mg/kg within this horizon. Reducible, oxidizable, and acid-exchangeable fractions accounted for 60-80% of total Cd in soils having pH values of 5.05-6.86. This indicates that Cd could easily transfer from soil to food or water, leading to human health and environmental risks.

All life is maintained in some way by the sun. This basic transference of energy from one species to another is the core value and driving factor of EVERY ecosystem. This can be seen in a visual way in some species.
Some plants for instance will 'colour up' if they are provided with enough energy from light and at the correct wavelengths. This increase in colour can also be seen in reptiles and Amphibians that are provided with enough light and energy from light.
E27 screw fitting allows the lamp to be used in any E27 lamp holder or any brand of canopy including the Arcadia Reptile E27 ceramic lamp fittin.

Sharbari Datta is a legend in the fashion world. She entered the arena with a specific purpose in mind—to restore the beauty of ethnic menswear to its former glory. The influence of two hundred years of British rule permeated into all parts of our life and ensured that ethnic menswear had all but disappeared from men's wardrobes, making rare appearances only during weddings and other festive occasions. And even then…what drab, lifeless colours. Enter Sharbari Datta. The visionary. The revivalist. The game changer. She noticed the gaping hole in the ethnic wear choices for men and decided to step in and fill the gap. With her own unique touches and amazing colour palettes, she catapulted the various elements of men's ethnic wear to the forefront. She also gave 'kantha', the traditional handicraft of rural Bengal, a glamorous facelift. She incorporated the techniques of this simple craft and elevated it to a veritable art form. This book, replete with interviews and testimonials by Sharbari's celebrity clientele, and amply illustrated with a treasure trove of photographs, tries to capture the essence of Sharbari's designscape.

Erin Seeherman thought of everything when it came to her Lover-themed wedding, which paid homage to the very important part Taylor Swift has played in her love story. But the one thing she never considered was that Swift herself would notice.
"It was a huge deal," Seeherman tells Billboard about Taylor tweeting out a congratulations to the Philadelphia-based sex therapist and her husband Moshe Berman, after the two recently tied the knot in an event that was Swift-inspired from top-to-bottom.
Seeherman, who, not for nothing, pays homage to Taylor twice in her Twitter handle, says she was driving home from work on Wednesday (Nov. 6) listening to music in her car when the bluetooth signal kept getting interrupted by so many message alerts that she had to set her phone to silent. But then two of her fellow Swiftie friends who were at her wedding called at the same time and she knew something was up.
"I pulled over, because safety first, and that's when I found out," she says. "I was really shocked. I never expected her to notice the efforts we had gone to. All the effort we put into the wedding we would have done regardless of whether we thought she might notice because we -- my husband now too identifies as a huge Taylor Swift fan -- are such huge fans so we were happy and excited to do this, but never really had that expectation that anything would come of it or that we would get noticed."

A sleeper hit of the early 1980s, Eating Raoul is a bawdy, gleefully amoral tale of conspicuous consumption.
Warhol superstar Mary Woronov and cult legend Paul Bartel (who also directed) portray a prudish married couple feeling put upon by the swingers who live in their apartment building; one night, by accident, they discover a way to simultaneously realize their dream of opening a little restaurant and rid themselves of the "perverts" down the hall. A mix of hilarious, anything-goes slapstick and biting satire of me-generation selfindulgence, Eating Raoul marks the end of the sexual revolution with a thwack.

The Changing Macroeconomics of Chimerica
Nouriel Roubini's RGE Monitor today looks at China's economic outlook and finds that with significantly slowed Chinese growth, the nature of the bilateral economic relationship that defined the world economy over the last several years -- a high U.S. trade imbalance with China driven by U.S. consumption and Chinese saving -- is inevitably changing:
. . . Despite the fact that China's aggressive policy response included monetary easing, scaling up of bank lending and a particularly aggressive scaling up of government investment to offset the contraction in private demand, there is an increased risk that China will grow only in the 5-6% range year on year in 2009, about half its average growth of the previous five years, and well below potential. Such a growth rate would increase pressures on China's government as the hard landing has been accompanied by job losses and factory closures as well as implying that Chinese commodity demand could continue to be lower than recent trends. . . .
. . . The structural reasons for high Chinese savings rates still persist. And with the Chinese yuan having returned to its implicit peg to the U.S. dollar, Chinese reserve accumulation and purchase of U.S. assets could again be quite strong in 2009. However, lower net hot money inflows could contribute to keep the pace of reserve accumulation below the one displayed in 2008.
But the gap between a very weak U.S. and global economy and the Chinese growth target of 8% for 2009 is wide and given the sluggish outlook for the U.S. and global economy, China may continue to grow below potential in 2010. There is also another important caveat: even once the U.S. economy recovers, it will rely less on consumption and imports and more on an improvement in net exports. The world where the U.S. was the consumer of first and last resort - spending more than its income and running ever larger current account deficit - and where China was the producer of first and last resort - spending less than its income and running ever larger current account surpluses - is changing.

We want to tell two stories to preface this webtext. (Skip the preface—take me to the webtext.)
Story 1 is what we hope this piece does. We are pleased to publish this piece in Computers and Composition Online as a complement to and extension of the piece published in Computers and Composition, in the special issue on Media Convergence.
The print piece is only a piece of the puzzle that is thinking about intellectual property in the composition classroom. Jonathan Alexander called for articles that addressed the complexities of living, working, and teaching at a moment of media convergence—a relatively new and big moment, if we look back at the history of production and publication in the United States. Never before have media been so malleable in terms of the ways we can merge, mash, and mix them together. In our print piece, we situate our work in the ways in which scholars such as Henry Jenkins talk about media convergence and the ways in which scholars such as Larry Lessig talk about intellectual property.
The webtext we offer here is an invited presentation we did for Computers and Writing Online 2008. Here, we not only tell the story of intellectual property and media convergence, but we show that story and narrate that story—with music, examples, audio clips, video pieces, and more.
Story 2 is how this work came to be. In Summer 2007, we worked on a manuscript for Jonathan Alexander's special issue of Computers and Composition. During the process, we thought briefly about making the electronic portion of our work available online. In mid Summer, Danielle was asked to deliver a keynote address at Computers and Writing Online 2008, scheduled for mid-February, and invited Sue to present with her. In December, we met to discuss the presentation, imagining how we might remix our print piece into an online presentation. We talk about the delivery of the piece, and decide to do short video pieces complemented by images and by text, folded into several PowerPoints delivered as video (.mov) files.
We spent much of December and January videotaping ourselves—individually and together. We make edits, cuts, and splices, and further develop the web site that hosts our conference presentation. In February, we present our material, and the presentation is followed by a robust live chat. The presentation is a success; several audience members ask to share and use Sue's Grand Theft Audio. Several people in the audience even ask Sue for a sequel… In March, we think about a permanent home for the presentation, wanting it to have a more robust life beyond being a conference moment.
We are delighted to present to you Grand Theft Audio.

In 2004, Barak Obama burst onto the nationwide political stage with a legendary speech that would become known as the audacity of hope. A decade on, it seems that those who hoped the Obama presidency would be a launchpad for a different kind of America, indeed a different kind of world, have seen those aspirations crumble.
It's a bad, bad week to be a liberal, of that there is no doubt. The results of the US midterm elections for the House of Representatives and the Senate seem likely to plunge America into a fresh round of political headbutting and vituperative cat calling across the aisle. With the Republicans now controlling both parts of Congress, the President's chances of progressing any kind of legislative agenda seem non-existent, whilst triumphant conservatives will waste no time in assaulting the central achievements of the Obama presidency, against which the only defence is likely to be the veto. This is not just bad for liberals, it's bad for democracy. Public opinion of politicians is already at an all time low. We can ill-afford for government to become like the tale of the idiot: full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. If Republicans and Democrats spend the next two years in a glacial standoff, trying to position themselves as more sinned against than sinning, the consequences could be ruinous.
How did it come to this?
Little over a year ago, Republican Party ratings plummeted to their lowest ever level as an incandescent public blamed the GOP for the 16-day government shutdown after a prolonged and heated debate over the Affordable Care Act's implementation.
Bloomberg Businessweek stated bluntly that "Republicans are no longer the party of business". Liberal publications like The New Yorker and Rolling Stone aligned with right-wing media outlets like the New York Post to proclaim that the Republicans had taken a step too far.
And yet here we are, the week after the toughest elections for the Democrats in years, facing up to the reality of a right wing putsch that once seemed unthinkable. Why have millions of Americans apparently voted against their natural social constituency and self interest? And with the British general election less than six months away, is the same outcome about to be repeated in the United Kingdom, which seems to be accelerating rapidly towards a visceral right wing agenda, far from the moderate, androgynous middle ground that the elections between 1992 and 2010 were fought upon.
What seems clear – and equally baffling – to me is that the swing towards the right in both the US and UK is happening as both societies attempt to recover, unconvincingly, from the legacy of conservative political and economic ideas that have held sway for more than a generation.
Instead of getting deserved credit for resolving the chaos created by unquestioning faith in free market ideals, it seems that liberals have simply been putting the world to rights, literally! In both the US and the UK, conservatives have successfully pinned the blame for all our economic woes on their traditional bogeymen – government and the public sector, immigrants, the welfare state, organised labour and universal health care.
It matters little that the facts do not bear out these accusations. The relentless negativity and obstructionism of the GOP in the United States has made President Obama seem fatally weak and indecisive. Although the Obama administration has hardly helped its own cause at times, no President in history has faced an opposition whose sole aim has been to ensure that nothing gets done.
Take the US Affordable Care Act, opposition to which was the lodestone of the government shutdown in 2013. There is absolutely no doubt that the legislation has generally succeeded in its core objectives. Against a backdrop of apocalypse preached by conservatives, the number of Americans without health insurance has been reduced by about 25 percent this year — or by eight million to 11 million people. Doom-laden warnings that the law would cause premiums for most people to rise sharply have proved unfounded. Competition, normally the comfort blanket that the Tea Party zealot wipes his foaming mouth with, has increased dramatically. These are all incredibly positive outcomes.
And as the New York Times observed in a comprehensive article in October 2014:
"When President Obama signed the measure in 2010, he pledged that it would protect Americans from ruinously high medical bills by guaranteeing them access to comprehensive — and affordable — coverage. For millions of people who gained insurance through the law, this has proved true."
To achieve such positive, unequivocal success in government is remarkable. To achieve it in the face of such implacable, irrational, personally vindictive and downright vicious opposition is almost miraculous. But instead of being able to bask in the glory of this achievement, Obamacare has become the most potent symbol of liberalism's alleged malaise. So potent that some conservatives, with deadly seriousness, were claiming it to be as destructive to personal and individual liberty as the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 that allowed slave owners to come to New Hampshire and seize their runaway slaves.
You might think that this is crazy. I certainly do. But today, the Republican Party has almost total control over the US government and repealing Obamacare is at the top of its policy agenda. Crazy or not, voters seem to have been persuaded otherwise.
History will show that the Republican Party 2008-2016 was the Circumlocution Office made real. How Not To Do It was its doctrine. What is curious is that in spite of the wealth of empirical information now available at our fingertips on the internet, the Republican movement and its hyperbolic cousin, the Tea Party, is getting away with their gigantic fib.
Put bluntly, the right wing broke the world in 2007 but since then has managed to falsely finger liberals for the painful consequences of fixing the mess it left behind.
Honest political discourse has dissolved, melted by the toxic spew of campaign finance that distorts and subverts debate. According to a study of 467 US congressional races held in 2012, in 91% of elections, the winning candidate had the biggest campaign war chest. And those triumphant at the polls typically outspent their opponent by a factor of 2:1. If you think that money plays no part in the political process or that a good little 'un will always prevail over a mediocre big 'un, think again. Sadly, if David and Goliath were running for Congress, David would be pounded into the dust long before he'd even thought about swinging his catapult.
I don't know if the turnaround in opinions since the government shutdown is because of subservient media coverage (contrary to populist conservative dogma, the US does not, by any stretch of the imagination, have a liberal media bias). Perhaps it is the influence of lobby groups funded on a prodigious scale by right wing plutocrats like the Koch brothers that are able to dominate the agenda with their version of the truth. Undoubtedly, education and religion play their part in individual analysis and free thinking. Maybe it's just the simple lack of time to strip away the layers of internet fud and duh that get in the way of truth and facts. Or a mix of all the above.
But something is happening here and it's deeply disturbing.
Now, here's a tip.
What you know matters less
Than the volume with which
What you don't know's expressed!
Content, has never been less important.
So you have got to be….

Support Apple's resistance to FBI's demands to unlock phone
Today's society has become so dependent on technology that our phones store everything from our credit card information to our home address and several other pieces of incriminating information.
With this in mind, personal technology could also be used as a powerful tool in law enforcement. In the case of the San Bernardino shooting on Dec. 3, 2015, Apple has refused to release the iPhone data of suspect Syed Rizwan Farook.
According to a Feb. 17 Washington Post article discussing the battle between the tech giant and the government, Apple CEO Tim Cook said, "The U.S. government has asked us for something we simply do not have, and something we consider too dangerous to create. They have asked us to build a backdoor to the iPhone."
Apple has been justified in its resistance to the FBI's requests, but that does not mean that Farook's phone should be left untouched. According to a March 21 New York Times article, the FBI might have found a way to unlock the phone without Apple's help, and if that ends up being ineffective, the better — and less risky — option than Apple creating a backdoor is for the National Security Agency to get involved. This way, Apple is not putting its customers at risk, and the FBI still gets their desired information.
The FBI is looking for access to Farook's phone "in the hopes of gaining crucial evidence," as stated by the Justice Department or in hopes of finding "relevant, critical communications and data," according to a Feb. 16 Washington Post article.
Alas, the only way for the average person to access his phone would be to manually enter the password. With newer iPhones, the password is encrypted into the phone, and without the password, it is nearly impossible to manually access the phone. Due to this updated technology, the user has ultimate control of the phone and its ease of access.
According to a Feb. 17 Washington Post article, U.S. Magistrate Sheri Pym requested that Apple generate a software that can be used only to access the phone at the center of the case, but this is something that Apple views as unethical. In a March 17 interview with TIME, Cook agreed that this case is similar to one that had previously occurred in which Apple was able to extract data from a man's phone. The case involved a Brooklyn drug dealer, and when the court reached out to Apple to retrieve data from the man's phone, they agreed to do so.
The difference now, however, is that Apple feels that this case is not in concordance with the All Writs Act, which essentially grants the government the right to use all resources needed to make a judiciary decision. In U.S. v. New York Telephone Company in 1977, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the implementation of a "tap and track" service to catch wanted gamblers. Apple is using this ruling as justification for their refusal to comply with the FBI's requests: As Cook said, "we've never been asked to do what we've been asked to do now … we don't think the government has the authority to do this."
Now, this does not mean that Apple did not attempt to aid the FBI in any way; some of Apple's engineers had been sent over to see if there was any way to access the phone's information without creating a backdoor — but to no avail.
The issue arose when a court order demanded that Apple create a "Government OS" that lacks security features. In the same TIME interview, Cook said, "From a customer point of view it wasn't good, because it would wind up putting millions of customers at risk, making them more vulnerable. In addition, we felt like it trampled on civil liberties."
This is where the real conflict arises. Should Apple release a security-free operating system that can be used for cases like this, or should they withhold such information to protect the civil rights of their customers?
If Apple were to generate such a software, it could be used with malicious intent by people other than the U.S. government and lead to massive breaches. Beyond that, there needs to be some sort of confidentiality between the company and their customers. If all user information is released, who is to say that our every move cannot be tracked by Apple or that they will not automatically access iPhone cameras at any moment they feel it is necessary? With conspiracy theories galore, some may argue that Apple might already do this, but even if they do, the threat will become even more viable if they publicly breach the trust built with customers. If the line is not drawn somewhere, the possibilities are limitless. According to Tim Cook, "No one should have a key that turns a billion locks."
However, even if the FBI cannot access this phone, the government already has the power to access this phone and many others. According to a March 17 Forbes Article, the NSA could supply their "zero-day" exploit services to the FBI, but they do not deem it necessary. In this same article, a former NSA computer scientist is quoted as saying, "The NSA might not want to burn its exploits on that iPhone." The zero-day exploit service essentially entails the NSA manipulating any weaknesses within Apple's programing as soon as it was discovered — hence the name zero day. They would search for any weakness in the initial code which ran when the iPhone was first turned on. If a weakness was found there, the code could be altered, thus granting access to the phone. Sadly, the NSA believes that their limited resources should not be used on an operation to hack into an iPhone.
Since there actually is a means of accessing the content of Farook's phone, there is no problem with doing so. There is no way of knowing whether he was in contact with anyone else or if the intent behind his attack would be revealed.
If the FBI cannot open the phone without outside help, seeking aid from the NSA seems like a far better option than Apple compromising the security of its company and all of its customers through generating a security-free operating system. Apple standing by its convictions is worthwhile because if they just succumbed to the government, the outcome could be far worse than the situation at hand. Millions of iPhone users could be at risk through the creation of a security-free operating system. Granted, this will not be the one issued to the public, but anyone could get access to it and misuse it.
