Working in Government Establishment Being a Phlebotomist - 0 views

  •  
    People are always seeking for a job opportunity from government establishments. This is due to the fact that we cannot avoid the thinking that once you are working in government owned establishments, you have lots of benefits. Actually it is considered as total or full benefit. And since the government has so many job opportunities to graduates, it is right to say that we must know first and foremost what are offered in its bulletin before going to other sources. We might find out that there are offers that we can grab and apply with. This is also the reason why there are some job fairs. Secure your license and know what are available and start applying as a phlebotomist in hospitals and other medical agencies connected to the government.

Anonymity on the Internet: Why the Price May be Too High by David Davenport, Communicat... - 0 views

  •  
    Anonymous communication is seen as the cornerstone of an Internet culture that promotes sharing and free speech and is overtly anti-establishment. Anonymity, so the argument goes, ensures governments cannot spy on citizens and thus guarantees privacy and free speech. The recommendations of the American Association for the Advancement of Science's conference on "Anonymous Communication Policies for the Internet" [1] support this view. Among the findings were that "online anonymous communication is morally neutral" and that "it should be considered a strong human and constitutional right." This view is fundamentally mistaken; by allowing anonymous communication we actually risk an incremental breakdown of the fabric of our society. The price of our freedoms is not, I believe, anonymity, but accountability. Unless individuals and, more importantly, governments can be held accountable, we lose all recourse to the law and hence risk our very freedom. The following sections argue this in more detail and suggest the only real solution is more openness, not less.

      What exactly does this mean? "At least perceived by the public"? That where cell-phone availability is high, the public perceives violent anti-government protest? Or that it is *actually* more likely to happen?

Anshe Chung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • In December 2006, while conducting an interview for CNET with Daniel Terdiman on her economic assets, the virtual studio in which the interview took place was bombarded by flying animated penises and copies of a photo of Graef modified to show her holding a giant penis in her arms. The griefers managed to disrupt the interview sufficiently that Chung was forced to move to another location and ultimately crashed the simulator entirely.[18] Video and images of the incident were posted to the "Second Life Safari" section of Something Awful, and the incident received international notice via blogs including Boing Boing and the online edition of the Sydney Morning Herald. Two weeks later, Anshe's husband, Guntram Graef, issued takedown notices under the DMCA, demanding that newspapers and websites remove photos and videos of the incident and claiming that they violated Graef's copyright in her avatar and other virtual creations. YouTube pulled the videos of the incident as a DMCA violation and banned the account of Second Life Safari, bringing objections from legal experts who considered the work "fair use".[19] A Linden Labs spokesperson suggested that the taking of videos and photos in Second Life should be governed by the same rules as in real life,[20] and an attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation compared it "to Armani attempting to restrict news photos of a car crash where one of the drivers was wearing an Armani suit."[21]
  • After news of these events and the legal objections spread across a number of sites including Slashdot, YouTube changed its rationale for removing copies of the video to terms of use violation, and in an interview Guntram Graef said that issuing the takedown notices had been a mistake. He referred to the images as 'pornographic material' and said The video and pictures are clearly defaming and constitute a sexual assault. He stated that he had originally tried to have the videos removed as a personal attack and infringement on rights, but later changed to a copyright claim when that didn't produce a response. When he realized the issues of censorship, he dropped the copyright claim.[19] In 2008 Russian opposition leader Gary Kasparov was attacked at a real public event with a flying penis helicopter and what appeared as a real life adaption of the flying penis attack on Anshe Chung. The Kasparov attack was ended within seconds by a guard who destroyed the flying penis aparatus. In contrast CNet and the company Millions of Us who were responsible for securing the event in Second Life had failed to remove the virtual objects for an extended period of time

Time Cube - Encyclopedia Dramatica - 0 views

  • NATURES HARMONIC 4-DAY TIME CUBE IS THE TRUTH. YOU ARE EDUCATED STUPID BY YOUR GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOLS TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ONE DAY, WHEN IT IS CLEAR TO ALL ENTITIES THAT THERE ARE 4 SIMULTANEOUS CUBED DAYS GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME, THANKS TO THE UNITED STATES AND THE JEWS. EVIL ACADEMIC BASTARDS WHO PREACH THE ONE TIME THEORY ARE KEEPING YOU STUPID AND SHOULD BE KILLED. GOVERNMENT, RELIGION AND CORPORATE MONEYMOGULS ARE ALSO EVIL FOR SUPPRESSING TIME CUBE, AND NEED TO BE HANGED AT GALLOWS IF THEY DO NOT CHANGE THEIR WAYS.
  • TIME CUBE IS A "T.O.E." - THEORY OF EVERYTHING: TIME, LIFE AND TRUTH. TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE MAKES YOU EVIL. THERE ARE FOUR 24 HOUR DAYS ON THE PLANET EARTH. HUMAN LIFE IS A "CRAP SHOOT." MALES AND FEMALES ARE TWO SEPARATE CUBES. GENE RAY, TIME CUBE REVEALER, IS THE WORLDS SMARTEST HUMAN BEING. HE IS ALSO A COUSIN OF PIRAT PONTON. HUMANS ARE CUBES, NOT ENTITIES. MIDNIGHT BE BLACK RACE DAY. MATH IS TEH EVIL. ALL NUMBERS EQUAL ZERO. HOW COULD CUBELESS JEW GOD-QUEER CREATE MAN FROM DIRT WHEN BODY IS 75 PERCENT WATER. WORD ADULTISM IS ANTI-CHILD. MAN IS PERSONIFIED PYRAMID; THE HEAD IS MADE OF FOUR CORNERS - TWO, EARS NOSE, AND BACK CORNER. TIME IS CUBIC NOT LINEAR. NO THIS IS NOT A RUBIX CUBE HAHAHA LOL0RZ HAX0RZ A MOTHER AND A BABY ARE THE SAME AGE: 16 YEARS OLD CUBED NATURE IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, SO ALL EXPLANATION MUST BE DONE IN ALL CAPS FONT SIZE=5.
  • (NOTE: BELOW, THE FAGGOTY PORTION OF THIS ENTRY BEGINS, DENOTED BY THE FACT IT IS NOT IN CAPS, AND IS OBVIOUSLY WRITTEN BY A PRETENTIOUS JEW.) First, Time Cubers are absolute nutjobs; only Alex Chiu comes close for sheer amounts of certifiable insanity. They typically type in all-caps, they believe bullshit theories about the universe, and are as elitist as your resident indie fucktard. Thus, it's very easy to troll them. Say there's only one time. Say 1 + 1 = 2. They HATE that. Say that cubes have 6 sides, not 4. If you want, it's extremely simple to act like a Time Cuber. The caps lock is your best friend in this case, but you have other opportunities: Blame everything on the Jews. Yes, we know, everything is already their fault, but since they're already responsible for world hunger, war, and Quasidan, we may as well blame fake things on them, too. Whenever someone claims a fact, say "You are educated stupid," and begin ranting about the evil academic agenda. E-points if you can a) blame it on multiple groups, or b) come up with unique ways to kill said groups. Gene Ray prefers crucifixion or burning in Hell - strange for someone who claims to not believe in God - but your mileage may vary. The less facts you can cite, the more successful your Time Cube argument will become. Wager money on it! Offer to kill your children! Claim that your amazing and superior Time Cube ideas are being silenced by the evil academics! The possibilities are endless!

FCC living in the dark ages; a threat to net neutrality aims - 0 views

  •  
    The Government and Accountability Office (GAO) has concluded that the Federal Communications Commission does nothing with about four out of every five consumer complaints that it puts into a database and investigates. Even worse, the GAO could not discern from its survey of the FCC's complaint process why the FCC takes no enforcement action with 83 percent of the complaints it looked into from 2003 through 2006. "Without key management tools, FCC may have difficulty assuring Congress and other stakeholders that it is meeting its enforcement mission," the GAO report warns. That's putting it mildly. If the FCC does set up some serious net neutrality guidelines for ISPs like Comcast, how can P2P application users and other consumers know that the agency will take their comments seriously?

  • In this near future world, students are the administrators. All of the administrative functions have been “pushed down” into a substrate of software. Education has evolved into something like a marketplace, where instructors “bid” to work with students. Now since most education is funded by the government, there will obviously be other forces at play; it may be that “administration”, such as it is, represents the government oversight function which ensures standards are being met. In any case, this does not look much like the educational institution of the 20th century – though it does look quite a bit like the university of the 13th century, where students would find and hire instructors to teach them subjects.
  • The instructor facilitates and mentors, as they have always done, but they are no longer the gatekeepers, because there are no gatekeepers, anywhere
  • The classroom will both implode – vanishing online – and explode – the world will become the classroom.
  • Opening education up to market forces is a good thing when the market is a collection of people who want their children to get a great education (parents/guardians). Market forces are not a good thing when the market is a collection of people who want shorter, easier classes and more time to hang out (students).
  • If it can be rated, graded, or judged it will be. If that information can be archived it will be. If it can be accessed it will be. If it can be shared it will be. That is, as you point out, disruptive.
  • I read George’s comment with sadness. It does kids an injustice. Most kids don’t like a “soft” teacher. They want a fair deal. Think of your own school days- who were the teachers who inspired you - it wasn’t the guy who wanted to be your friend - it was the the guy who taught you with enthusiasm, knowledge and above all could communicate his ideas to you.

10 Rules That Govern Groups « PsyBlog - 1 views

  • 2. Initiation rites improve group evaluations Existing groups don't let others join for free: the cost is sometimes monetary, sometimes intellectual, sometimes physical—but usually there is an initiation rite, even if it's well disguised. Aronson and Mills (1959) tested the effect of initiation rites by making one group of women read passages from sexually explicit novels. Afterwards they rated the group they had joined much more positively than those who hadn't had to undergo the humiliating initiation. So, not only do groups want to test you, but they want you to value your membership.
  • Group norms are extremely pervasive: this becomes all the more obvious when we start breaking them.

mobiles, human rights, and anonymity - 0 views

  • So that got me wondering: is there a mobile equivalent of Tor? For those of you who aren't familiar with it, TOR is a software project that helps Internet users remain anonymous. Running the TOR software on your computer causes your online communications to bounce through a random series of relay servers around the world. That way, there's no easy way for authorities to track you or observe who's visiting banned websites. For example, let's say you're in Beijing and you publish a blog the authorities don't like. If you just used your PC as usual and logged into your publishing platform directly, they could follow your activities and track you down. With Tor, you hop-scotch around: your PC might connect to a server in Oslo, then Buenos Aires, then Miami, then Tokyo, then Greece before it finally connects to your blogging platform. Each time you did this, it would be a different series of servers. That way, it's really difficult for authorities to trace your steps.

    Mobile Phones, Human Rights and Anonymity I've been playing around with my new Nokia N95 for the last couple of weeks and quite amazed with its ability to stream live video from the phone to the Internet. Like last weekend when I streamed from the Smithsonian Kite Festival; for around 30 minutes I gave a tour of the festivities and took questions from users as they watched the stream over the Internet. I've also spent some time talking it up with colleagues at NPR, brainstorming the possibilities of what would happen if reporters used these phones - or if their sources did. The example that keeps coming to mind regarding the latter scenario is the rioting in Tibet. While some video has leaked out, it's been limited and often delayed. Imagine if the protestors were able to webcast their protests - and the ensuing crackdowns - live over their phones using China's GSM network? The video would stream live and get crossposted via tools like YouTube, Seesmic and Twitter, spreading the content around so it can't be snuffed. But that raises an obvious question - how long could protestors or dissidents get away with such activities before getting caught? If you were running software on your phone to send live video over a 3G network, like I've been doing on my N95, you'd think it wouldn't take too much effort on the part of the mobile provider and/or government to figure out which phone was sending the signal and its precise location. So that got me wondering: is there a mobile equivalent of Tor? For those of you who aren't familiar with it, TOR is a software project that helps Internet users remain anonymous. Running the TOR software on your computer causes your online communications to bounce through a random series of relay servers around the world.
