Place in The Hearts Search Engine

Place in The Hearts Search Engine


After a few weeks of getting the legal from the google blog tutorial is finally back to a place in the hearts of the largest Search Engine today. A few weeks later on give this blog Pagerank N / A, and because it can not be sure I mentioned.

But I can only analyze the causes of the loss of a little PR from this blog, namely the lack of fresh articles that should be routine in the content on our blogs to manage. Since google is now more selective in choosing which blogs will be presented on page 10 of the keywords in the input by the user.

So the lessons I can take from this event are:

1. When we used to get an article in a way try to copy paste the rewrite up to 50% different from the original before the published again.
2. Try to find that a quality backlink pointing to your blog / web. Can in a way that is 2 way exchange links with other blogs, or with a direction that is leaving comments on Dofollow blog or website.
3. Update articles regularly at least once a week.
4. If all these things at work in your blog will be guaranteed in Engine loved by the search.

Maybe it is a short tips I can give this time, may be useful for you all. Regard

Rambo Ready for Combat in Games

Rambo Ready for Combat in Games


RamboRambo is now present in the form of the game. In it, gamers are offered a variety of shooting scenes are no less exciting.

Studio in charge of working on Rambo is Reef Entertainment. British game developer has just obtained a license for a number of films starring Sylvester Stallone, including Rambo.

“Rambo will be released for PC3, Xbox 360 and PC. The game will use all the exciting action of the atmosphere as well as in the movie,” said Craig Lewis, commercial director of Reef Entertainment.

There is no certainty when Rambo will begin competing in the games, but is predicted to coincide with the latest Stallone film that will be released next year.

“Seeing the success of Rambo movies, and Expendables 2 which will be released next summer, seems to be the right momentum to take advantage of this license,”
added Lewis.

Password recovery hostname changes in linux

Password recovery hostname changes in linux


So..it recently happened to me when I while messing with my system, i wrote a script to change root password & set it to expire in every 7 days & simultaneously making changes to hostname by setting it to a random value.. I queried my friend Raghu for inputs regarding it & got some interesting results,which I will be compiling here. This tutorial is intended for Linux newbies & would help them to get familiar with the enviornment. Actually, after 7 days what happened I tried to log in,& it always said "root password expired, please contact your administrator"..seems familiar ? well..here is how you can eradicate this.

( PS:
Folks..if you think you are too dumb to do
that, there exists an automated "burn-the-cd-boot-&-forget-solution"
called KONBOOT which can reset Linux passwords if you care.. :D choose your pick
)

I actually rebooted the system & once I reached grub,selected the kernel, I pressed "e".I proceeded to 2nd line of configuration & pressed "e" again.

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686 ro
Obviously, I edited the file by pressing "e" again & modifying it by typing "single" for invoking single user mode in Linux.
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686 ro single
Press "b" key to boot. Afterwards, you are given a prompt, please enter "passwd" command to reset root password.
After that, login as root & then proceed to move to /etc/shadow

[root@zion XERO]# cd /etc
[root@zion etc]# vi shadow
& check the entry for root,it should look similar to this

root:$6$McKhE96JGhl$uIfjBcMrrrL2x8aJ17mATex8WNXVMvZXrsfqoOL.
CinR9W2C8VXVyt4W2yt4eAJ0tgNPU2Kftr1f/lcvDG.:14859:0:99999:7::1:

you can see there is a "1" in last entry which sets the root account to expire. remove it such that it becomes

root:$6$McKhE96JGhl$uIfjBcMrrrL2x8aJ17mATex8WNXVMvZXrsfqoOL.
CinR9W2C8VXVyt4W2yt4eAJ0tgNPU2Kftr1f/lcvDG.:14859:0:99999:7:::


Once done, save the file & exit by pressing :wq! in vi. After that, boot into graphical mode by typing

[root@zion XERO]# init 5
login with your password."root" problem solved :) After wards..i found out that my hostname was changed..so, here are three easy ways to change your hostname on your will.

Way 1
open console, & type
[root@zion XERO]# hostname
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=hosty.test.com
now you can reset hostname (for the given session) by typing -
[root@zion XERO]# hostname myhostname.mysite.com
where myhostname.mysite.com is your new hostname.

WAY 2
The second way deals with editing a file known as "network" located in /etc/sysconfig/network, navigate to it

[root@zion XERO]# cd /etc/sysconfig/
check the value of hostname in it
[root@zion sysconfig]# cat network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=hosty.test.com
time to change it, go to vi & edit it.
[root@zion sysconfig]# vi network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=myhost.testsite.com
~                                                                                                             
~                                                                                                             
~                 
:wq!
saved the file..reboot & its done :)

WAY 3
The third way deals with "sysctl" command, which can be used to change the variable kernel.hostname. Start by checking its current value by typing

[root@station3 sysconfig]# sysctl kernel.hostname
kernel.hostname = hosty.test.com
and to change it, enter

[root@station3 sysconfig]# sysctl kernel.hostname=MYHOST.TESTSITE.COM

where MYHOST.TESTSITE.COM is your new hostname.
All of this was scripted,tested in FEDORA 13 (2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686) & written using Scrib Fire
 .

I hope it was interesting :)

Populate Records in ListView Android database SQLite p4

Populate Records in ListView Android database SQLite p4


For this exercise, we will be working with and offline database, which has a table name fstmdirektori (stafid, nama, jbt, telefon, emel).

screen offline db output display all recordsThis is what we will produce.

Code is here - http://khirulnizam.com/android/FSTMDirektori.zip

Step 1: Create a new blank Android project, let say named FSTM Direktori.

create new project named FSTM Direktori

Step 2: Add ListView in the main screen.

add listview in main layout

This is the main XML layout file.

activity_display_list.xml

<RelativeLayout >="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
>="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#B58897"
android:gravity="center_horizontal" >

<View
android:id="@+id/a"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#8DB3E1" />

<ListView
android:id="@+id/List"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="@+id/a"
android:divider="#8DB3E1"
android:dividerHeight="2dp" />

</RelativeLayout>


Step 3: Add another layout XML file to hold each record, which will contain staffid, full name and the department (displaying three fields only).


Right-click on layout folder (as in picture below) and select New->Android XML File.


create new xml layout file


Use listcell.xml in the new XML file.


xml layout listcell


listcell.xml


<LinearLayout >="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
>="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#F3CAE5"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="8dp" >

<TextView
android:id="@+id/txtstafid"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textColor="#000" />

<TextView
android:id="@+id/txtnama"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:textColor="#000" />

<TextView
android:id="@+id/txtjbt"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:textColor="#000" />



</LinearLayout>


 


Step 4: The Java codes


Add the DBHelper class.


The DBHelper class is the class to create the offline database in the Android device. This facilities is supported by SQLite library available in Android OS.


Right click the package icon in the SRC folder, and add a new class.


right click package and create new class


DBHelper.java


package net.kerul.fstmdirektori;

import android.content.Context;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;

public class DBHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
//define all the constants
static String DATABASE_NAME="fstmdirektori";
public static final String TABLE_NAME="staflist";
//these are the lit of fields in the table
public static final String STAFID="stafid";
public static final String NAMA="namapenuh";
public static final String JBT="jabatan";
public static final String TELEFON="telefon";
public static final String EMEL="emel";

public DBHelper(Context context) {
//create the database
super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, 1);

}

@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {
//create the table
String CREATE_TABLE="CREATE TABLE "+TABLE_NAME+" ("+STAFID+" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, "+NAMA+" TEXT, "+JBT+" TEXT, "+TELEFON+" TEXT,"+EMEL+" TEXT)";
db.execSQL(CREATE_TABLE);
//populate dummy data
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO staflist (stafid, namapenuh, jabatan, telefon, emel) VALUES(1, Khirulnizam Abd Rahman, JSK,0129034614, khirulnizam@gmail.com);");
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO staflist (stafid, namapenuh, jabatan, telefon, emel) VALUES(2, Noorazli Masrop, JMM,01297324378, noorazli@kuis.edu.my);");
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO staflist (stafid, namapenuh, jabatan, telefon, emel) VALUES(3, Muhammad Luqman, JSK,0112345423, luke@kuis.edu.my);");
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO staflist (stafid, namapenuh, jabatan, telefon, emel) VALUES(4, Hasnuddin Hasnol, JMM,0112314233, din@kuis.edu.my);");
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO staflist (stafid, namapenuh, jabatan, telefon, emel) VALUES(5, Muizz Salleh, JMM,0129787867, muizz@kuis.edu.my);");
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO staflist (stafid, namapenuh, jabatan, telefon, emel) VALUES(6, Muna Sabah, JSK,0134234343, moon@kuis.edu.my);");

}

@Override
public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) {
//onUpgrade remove the existing table, and recreate and populate new data
db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS "+TABLE_NAME);
onCreate(db);

}

}




Add another class called the DisplayAdapter. This class will act as the container to display each record from the database.


DisplayAdapter.java


package net.kerul.fstmdirektori;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class DisplayAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private Context mContext;
//list fields to be displayed
private ArrayList<String> stafid;
private ArrayList<String> nama;
private ArrayList<String> jbt;


public DisplayAdapter(Context c, ArrayList<String> stafid, ArrayList<String> nama, ArrayList<String> jbt) {
this.mContext = c;
//transfer content from database to temporary memory
this.stafid = stafid;
this.nama = nama;
this.jbt = jbt;
}

public int getCount() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return stafid.size();
}

public Object getItem(int position) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}

public long getItemId(int position) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return 0;
}

public View getView(int pos, View child, ViewGroup parent) {
Holder mHolder;
LayoutInflater layoutInflater;
if (child == null) {
layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
child = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.listcell, null);
mHolder = new Holder();

//link to TextView
mHolder.txtstafid = (TextView) child.findViewById(R.id.txtstafid);
mHolder.txtnama = (TextView) child.findViewById(R.id.txtnama);
mHolder.txtjbt = (TextView) child.findViewById(R.id.txtjbt);
child.setTag(mHolder);
} else {
mHolder = (Holder) child.getTag();
}
//transfer to TextView in screen
mHolder.txtstafid.setText(stafid.get(pos));
mHolder.txtnama.setText(nama.get(pos));
mHolder.txtjbt.setText(jbt.get(pos));


return child;
}

public class Holder {
TextView txtstafid;
TextView txtnama;
TextView txtjbt;
}

}



And the main class – DisplayList.java that trying to display all records in the screen.


DisplayList.java


package net.kerul.fstmdirektori;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class DisplayList extends Activity {

private DBHelper mHelper;
private SQLiteDatabase dataBase;

//variables to hold staff records
private ArrayList<String> stafid = new ArrayList<String>();
private ArrayList<String> nama = new ArrayList<String>();
private ArrayList<String> jbt = new ArrayList<String>();

private ListView userList;
private AlertDialog.Builder build;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_display_list);

userList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.List);

mHelper = new DBHelper(this);


}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
//refresh data for screen is invoked/displayed
displayData();
super.onResume();
}

/**
* displays data from SQLite
*/
private void displayData() {
dataBase = mHelper.getWritableDatabase();
//the SQL command to fetched all records from the table
Cursor mCursor = dataBase.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM "
+ DBHelper.TABLE_NAME, null);

//reset variables
stafid.clear();
nama.clear();
jbt.clear();

//fetch each record
if (mCursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
//get data from field
stafid.add(mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(DBHelper.STAFID)));
nama.add(mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(DBHelper.NAMA)));
jbt.add(mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(DBHelper.JBT)));

} while (mCursor.moveToNext());
//do above till data exhausted
}

//display to screen
DisplayAdapter disadpt = new DisplayAdapter(DisplayList.this, stafid, nama, jbt);
userList.setAdapter(disadpt);
mCursor.close();
}//end displayData


@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.display_list, menu);
return true;
}

}


Try RUN the project and you might see the Output as below.


screen offline db output display all records

Protecting data in the cloud

Protecting data in the cloud


A new hardware design makes data encryption more secure by disguising cloud servers’ memory-access patterns.


Cloud computing — outsourcing computational tasks over the Internet — could give home-computer users unprecedented processing power and let small companies launch sophisticated Web services without building massive server farms.

But it also raises privacy concerns. A bank of cloud servers could be running applications for 1,000 customers at once; unbeknownst to the hosting service, one of those applications might have no purpose other than spying on the other 999.

Encryption could make cloud servers more secure. Only when the data is actually being processed would it be decrypted; the results of any computations would be re-encrypted before they’re sent off-chip.

In the last 10 years or so, however, it’s become clear that even when a computer is handling encrypted data, its memory-access patterns — the frequency with which it stores and accesses data at different memory addresses — can betray a shocking amount of private information. 

At the International Symposium on Computer Architecture in June, MIT researchers described a new type of secure hardware component, dubbed Ascend, that would disguise a server’s memory-access patterns, making it impossible for an attacker to infer anything about the data being stored. Ascend also thwarts another type of attack, known as a timing attack, which attempts to infer information from the amount of time that computations take.

Computational trade-off

Similar designs have been proposed in the past, but they’ve generally traded too much computational overhead for security. “This is the first time that any hardware design has been proposed — it hasn’t been built yet — that would give you this level of security while only having about a factor of three or four overhead in performance,” says Srini Devadas, the Edwin Sibley Webster Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, whose group developed the new system. “People would have thought it would be a factor of 100.”

The “trivial way” of obscuring memory-access patterns, Devadas explains, would be to request data from every address in the memory — whether a memory chip or a hard drive — and throw out everything except the data stored at the one address of interest. But that would be much too time-consuming to be practical.

What Devadas and his collaborators — graduate students Ling Ren, Xiangyao Yu and Christopher Fletcher, and research scientist Marten van Dijk — do instead is to arrange memory addresses in a data structure known as a “tree.” A family tree is a familiar example of a tree, in which each “node” (in this example, a person’s name) is attached to only one node above it (the node representing the person’s parents) but may connect to several nodes below it (the person’s children).

With Ascend, addresses are assigned to nodes randomly. Every node lies along some “path,” or route through the tree, that starts at the top and passes from node to node, without backtracking, until arriving at a node with no further connections. When the processor requires data from a particular address, it sends requests to all the addresses in a path that includes the one it’s really after.

To prevent an attacker from inferring anything from sequences of memory access, every time Ascend accesses a particular memory address, it randomly swaps that address with one stored somewhere else in the tree. As a consequence, accessing a single address multiple times will very rarely require traversing the same path.

Less computation to disguise an address

By confining its dummy requests to a single path, rather than sending them to every address in memory, Ascend exponentially reduces the amount of computation required to disguise an address. In a separate paper, which is as-yet unpublished but has been posted online, the researchers prove that querying paths provides just as much security as querying every address in memory would.

Ascend also protects against timing attacks. Suppose that the computation being outsourced to the cloud is the mammoth task of comparing a surveillance photo of a criminal suspect to random photos on the Web. The surveillance photo itself would be encrypted, and thus secure from prying eyes. But spyware in the cloud could still deduce what public photos it was being compared to. And the time the comparisons take could indicate something about the source photos: Photos of obviously different people could be easy to rule out, but photos of very similar people might take longer to distinguish.

So Ascend’s memory-access scheme has one final wrinkle: It sends requests to memory at regular intervals — even when the processor is busy and requires no new data. That way, attackers can’t tell how long any given computation is taking.

Prius Sport Coupe, Toyota Motor Corp. (TMC) did not seem happy with MPV to bring the Prius hybrid to the center of the world community, and even then the Japanese automaker is rumored to bring the Prius is a sports coupe.


Toyota re-leaked “sports coupe Prius” for his rival the Honda CR-Z. If there is no obstacle the car will be launched next 3 years or exactly 2014 in Japan. The interface will be more sporty with 2 doors.

Toyota is rumored to still choose a machine that will be pinned on Prius sports coupe was first used 1,800 cc 4-cylinder engine with a synergy drivedan capacity of 1500 cc petrol engine combined with an electric motor.


1500 cc engine on a “Prius sports coupe” will drive the rear wheels are inspired by the Lexus. Sense of driving the car is more pronounced thanks to a manual transmission system application pad Prius sports coupe. To support Toyota’s character would make it very compact with a claimed weight is very light.

Point of Vision Women in Fantasy Art

Point of Vision Women in Fantasy Art


By Lauren Panepinto

I want to share another project with you guys, one Im really thrilled about. Irene Gallo of Tor and I have co-curated an exhibit at the Society of Illustrators, and the opening is this friday. If youre in the NYC area, you should totally come out!

The exhibit is the first retrospective of Women Artists in Fantasy and Science Fiction. And what an amazing group of artists it is! We not only have the industry legends like Kinuko Craft, Julie Bell, and Rebecca Guay, we also have the newer generation of women artists, like Rovina Cai, Karla Ortiz, Cynthia Sheppard, Tara McPherson, and more.

Rebecca Guay

I was honored to get to write the press release for the show, and it explains why we picked the title "Point of Vision" — because women artists have a very different point of view when asked to translate the common themes in fantasy and science fiction, and its absolutely amazing to see all that work together for the first time. The exhibit takes up the entire first and second floor galleries of the Society and its just awe-inspiring.

Yoshii Chie


Heres the press release:

Point of Vision: Celebrating Women Artists in Fantasy and Science Fiction

When people think of the Science Fiction and Fantasy genre they often think of it as a male-dominated field, both in authorship and art. However, women have always been a critical part of the genre, and have often brought a slightly different point of view to the way that they create around the themes of myth, heroism, science, and futurism. Mary Shelley wrote one of the first, if not the first science fiction books in Frankenstein. For every Tolkien there was an Ursula K. LeGuin. For every Frank Herbert an Octavia Butler. When we think of Science Fiction and Fantasy Art, it is often the names like Frazetta and Hildebrandt that come first to mind. However, all along through the art history of the genre you have women such as Kinuko Craft, Mary Blair, Julie Bell, and many more who have been creating their own visual worlds and illustrating the worlds of authors, filmmakers, and game designers. For the first time, the work of women in this genre will be exhibited together in Point of Vision: Celebrating Women Artists in Fantasy and Science Fiction at the Museum of Illustration at the Society of Illustrators.

We have chosen to exhibit these women artists together to propose that although both men and women have always created art in the worlds of Science Fiction and Fantasy, women inherently have a slightly different point of view, a unique way of internalizing the themes and stories and then creating visuals imbued with their perspective. However it would be a mistake to say that art created by women is automatically “feminine” — in this exhibit the viewer will see that there are as many different definitions of “woman artist” as there are women creating art.

This generation of Science Fiction and Fantasy fans have made a mission of greater inclusion in the genre, in books, comics, films, and gaming. There are more women fans than ever before, and they are seeking out and highlighting the women creators that have always been involved, but perhaps slightly outside the spotlight. At the Society of Illustrators we are proud to be exhibiting not only the established icons of the genre, but also showcasing the new generation of women artists working with fantasy themes. As you’ll see from the exhibit, many of these women enjoy playing with the genre standards that their forebears defined, and take a fluid approach to not only the genre, but the crossover between illustration and fine art.

This exhibit is curated by Irene Gallo and Lauren Panepinto.

An Opening Reception will be held on Friday, June 10th.

The show is up until August 20th, and I hope you take the time to make the trip if you can. Theres so much amazing art in the show, its breathtaking to walk around.

I also want to thank Cathy Fenner, and point out her book Women of Wonder — she has created such an amazing collection of Women Fantasy Artists and their work and you should absolutely order the book whether you care about women artists or just want a book full of amazing fantasy art. I was honored to write the introduction a few years ago, and it got me originally thinking about many of the recurring themes that many of the women in both the book and the show wrestle with in their art. I have been very fortunate to be involved with so many amazing projects with the Women Artists of this community, and they are such an inspiration to me. I cant wait to celebrate all of you at the opening friday!

Question What should I cover in class

Question What should I cover in class


In no particular order this is the response:

Develop Module, Soft Proofing, Importing Presets, Using Presets, Work Flow From Camera to Catalogue, To Photoshop And Back. More on Workflow, Exporting Images, emphasis on Size. Tone Curves: Parametric Vs Point Curves, Point Curves: Linear, Medium Contrast, Strong Contrast…

Presets

8 Sites for Free Adobe Lightroom Presets - Digital Photography School

Don’t know what to do, to make your Photo “better”?  (#4 from Top 10 TYNTK  (Things you need to know (about Lightroom)… )

Is there a color in the scene/portrait that you "remember" photographing? Color of the flower, skin, sky, grass, leaves, trees... Make changes to make those colors appear on your monitor.Color doesnt work? Make a virtual copy and try a "Black & White" or spit tone the Photograph

Still Don’t know what to do?  Try a Lightroom Preset.
Lightroom is “Preset Happy”!  And come with some “Built-in” Presets…
Caveat:
Be careful when using presets…  

If you are trying out different presets, always remove/delete the preset, before applying a different one.  If you don’t more than likely you’ll wind up with “settings” being added from the previous preset. And you won’t get what was intended by the preset… 

  • Use Undo Keyboard Shortcut
  • Control + z (PC)
  • Command + z (Mac)

Presets are available in:

  • Importing and The Quick Develop panels
Importing… In the Apply During Import Panel

PrayForParis Hashtags Surface in Response to Attacks in French City

PrayForParis Hashtags Surface in Response to Attacks in French City


Hashtags expressing sympathy and concern circulated online after multiple attacks around Paris Friday evening in which more than 120 people were reportedly killed.

Some people posted on their facebook, twitter and instagram account sharing their thoughts about the incident.

Tahir Ali from Pakistan:

Paris we are with you in this bad time.The world just needs to get together and destroy this terrorist organization. They are going way to far, they want a war and we have no choice to unite and give them one. And fuck the assholes who join them, go get laid, play a video game, watch tv, watch paint dry....anything is better than joining them. So sick of hearing of ISIS.

khloekardashian:
"Once again, weve seen an outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians," Obama said. "This is an attack not just on Paris, its attack not just on the people of France, but this is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share." ?? #PrayForParis

Dyarlyn Saldivia:
We cant avoid all of these for this is one of the signs of the times but we will put our trust to the Lord for He will protect all of us. We will pray fervently. God be with you Paris people

Ronelle Roberts:
For all these must happen and it will happen, For the word declares that nations will stand up against each other and it will happen for the bible must come in fulfill before the coming of Christ Jesus, but children of God font be weary and dont be scared for God is with us till the end just you dont let go of His grace. he end is near,

Patricia Angela:
We BELIEVE the Word! : If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land..

Pilot Project Benefits Hearing Impaired in Nunavut enabled by new broadband Internet connections

Pilot Project Benefits Hearing Impaired in Nunavut enabled by new broadband Internet connections


April 10, 2013 10:00 ET
Pilot Project Benefits Hearing Impaired in Nunavut
Excerpt -
http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/pilot-project-benefits-hearing-impaired-in-nunavut-1777322.htm

Videoconference initiative enabled by new broadband Internet connections
IQALUIT, NUNAVUT--(Marketwired - April 10, 2013) - Six communities across
Nunavut are participating in a pilot project to test videoconference
equipment that will better facilitate communication for the deaf in the
territory, thanks to a partnership between the governments of Canada and
Nunavut, the Nunavut Broadband Development Corporation (NBDC), and the
Canadian Deafness Research and Training Institute (CDRTI).
[...]
Dr. James MacDougall of CDRTI, who has been involved with a Government of
Nunavut-sponsored project to document Inuit Sign Language, stated that,
"Video Phone technology can greatly assist in the full inclusion of deaf
Nunavummiut in all aspects of community life. This represents one of the
core values of Nunavut."
Wendy Ireland, Executive Director of the Nunavummi Disabilities
Makinnasuaqtiit Society, is excited about the possibilities. "This is
obviously a great advance for deaf people, but it also holds considerable
potential for people with other types of disabilities who need face to
face communication within and between communities from the comfort of
their home."
This pilot project is part of Meet Online, a suite of videoconferencing
solutions designed to operate over Nunavut's satellite-based network. Meet
Online has dedicated bandwidth that offers a reliable connection between
any two communities in Nunavut. Arviat, Baker Lake, Rankin Inlet, Iqaluit,
Pond Inlet, and Arctic Bay are all participating in this pilot project.
Equipment is also located in Ottawa and Montréal to test communications
with southern Canada.
This videoconferencing pilot, which was developed with QINIQ service
provider SSi Micro Ltd., is funded through NBDC's Infrastructure II
project. The Canadian Deafness Research and Training Institute (CDRTI)
helped identify participants across Nunavut and is the primary partner in
the project.
[...]
BACKGROUNDER
NUNAVUT BROADBAND
The Government of Canada is providing a total contribution of $21,601,175
to the Nunavut Broadband Development Corporation (NBDC) to increase
satellite capacity, produce new bandwidth management tools and upgrade the

- Arctic Bay (Nanisivik)
- Arviat
- Baker Lake
