MaxMind Fraud Protection

Understanding MaxMind Fraud Protection

With the growth of e-commerce and the spread of online businesses, online fraud protection has become a necessity for all the e-commerce businesses. With identity theft on the rise, merchant account providers need to provide their customers with the best in online fraud protection and help decrease the identity theft and scam crisis. With proper tools, you become capable of confirming the legality and authenticity of transactions and protect yourself and your customers from fraud.

Catching Suspicious Activity with MaxMind Fraud Protection

A few ways to ensure security include calling up the support center if you want to confirm the authenticity of any emails or offers that you think that you might have received from your bank or processor. It is also wise to double check for suspicious overnight orders. The fraud rates are particularly high in the Eastern European countries and you need to make sure that your merchant account provider offers you online fraud protection internationally.

With the fraud techniques becoming more sophisticated with time, merchants and consumers who make online transactions find it hard to control the fraudsters who might attack at any moment. Traditional fraud protection tools no longer seem to work against the more clever fraudsters. Fraudsters can obtain your personal information and credit card numbers, posing as authentic owners and without the latest technology they will be able to bypass the usual fraud checks and leave you and your business in jeopardy. That is why you need an online fraud protection service that can make out the authentic and legitimate owner.

At Instabill, we offer you the most sophisticated online fraud protection for your merchant accounts. With MaxMind’s online fraud protection and scam control services, we have added extra protection for your merchant account and, therefore, your business.

News from Ms Burntwell

Actually, there are quite a few ObamaTax-related items cluttering the in-box. In no particular order:

■ A dataset which purports to provide "the total number of Qualified Health Plan selections by ZIP Code for the 37 states that use the [] platform." It includes basic plan info about which plans folks in a given area selected during Open Enrollment. It's not clear how many (if any) of these folks actually bought a plan at all.

■ A handy little (one page!) .pdf letting us proles know how much HHS collected from reinsurers in 2014 to offset costs of the Transitional Reinsurance program. Spoiler alert: thus far, less than 75% of target.

■ The death of the insurance agent's role has been more than a little exaggerated. Case in point:

"The drafters of the [ObamaTax] seemed to think that brokers were mostly a waste of money ... For a look at how the new, humbled SHOP exchange system has done since then, read on."

Please do.

The reality is that (competent, professional) agents do far more than just suggest plans designs. They are an integral conduit between the client (individual or employer) and the carrier. Of course, that sales role can't really be underplayed, as witness the fate of the SHOP (Small group insurance exchange):

"HHS has been notoriously reluctant to release any numbers hinting at how many employers or workers might be using SHOP plans"

Any bets on whether that would hold true were it a rousing success?

Thought not.

Now, I happen to be one of those (competent, professional) agents who is authorized to sell SHOP plans. I can tell you that I have yet to experience any employer asking me for a SHOP quote (neither current clients nor prospects). I have suggested to a few current clients that we at least look into it, but when they learn what's involved, well, any interest seems to fade away quickly.

It may be the cumbersome (but intrusive!) data entry process, it may be the confusing requirements, or some combination of these and other factors. But it's certainly not surprising.

Ervin Goldfain. Universal Transition to Chaos and the Family Structure of Particle Physics

Natural Sciences / Physics / Particle physics

Submitted on: Feb 26, 2012, 18:03:00

Description: The standard model for high-energy physics (SM) describes fundamental interactions between subatomic particles down to a distance scale on the order of 10 ^ (-18) m. Despite its widespread acceptance, SM operates with a large number of arbitrary parameters whose physical origin is presently unknown. Our work suggests that the generation structure of at least some SM parameters stems from the chaotic regime of renormalization group flow. Invoking the universal route to chaos in systems of nonlinear differential equations, we argue that the hierarchical pattern of parameters amounts to a series of scaling ratios depending on the Feigenbaum constant. Leading order predictions are shown to agree reasonably well with experimental data.

Burn: An Energy Journal

Burn: An Energy Journal

Sun, 12/08/2013 - 9:00pm

Hydrocarbon energy releases enormous amounts of heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere, and the Earth's oceans absorb about 80 percent of that heat. That means sea levels are rising, and they'll continue to rise for hundreds of years to come. This issue will be discussed on Burn: An Energy Journal on AM 1370 on Sunday, December 8, 2013 at 9 p.m.

While all coastal cities face real trouble, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development says Miami is the most vulnerable in its assessment of threats to 50 major cities worldwide. Parts of Miami will be permanently flooded in as few as 15 years.

BURN host Alex Chadwick talks with people deeply involved in the issues of how and when sea-level rise will begin to inundate Miami, as well as the reasons why waters are rising so quickly along the Atlantic seaboard of North America. To get firsthand reports on the rapidly melting ice sheets of Greenland (a significant cause of sea-level rise), BURN sends Neal Conan, former NPR host and reporter, with Gretel Ehrlich, longtime Greenland explorer and writer, to Greenland to meet with leading researchers.

. Interchanging Idioms: Susanna Phillips makes Lincoln Center recital debut

Susanna Phillips makes Lincoln Center recital debut

Following a run of performances as Pamina in the Metropolitan Opera's Magic Flute this fall, American soprano Susanna Phillips will make her New York solo recital debut on November 19 at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall as the recipient of Juilliard's 2009-10 Alice Tully Vocal Arts Debut Recital Award. Her program includes the world premiere of In Colors of Feelings, a song cycle she commissioned from composer Philip Lasser.

This is a banner season for Phillips, offering high-profile opportunities to hear a voice that The New York Times describes as "clear, bright and elegant" and the Dallas Morning News calls "achingly gorgeous." Her season highlights include her Baltimore Symphony debut, a Carnegie Hall Messiah, the Lyric Opera of Chicago's Elixir of Love (Adina), and her Forth Worth Opera Festival debut in Don Giovanni (Donna Anna). Catch her Pamina again next season at the Met. Here is an excerpt from the Chicago Symphony's Beyond the Score.

The 28-year-old Alabama native isn't the only one "making good" in the Phillips family. Susanna's brother Macon is the White House director of new media, a post he snared after his work on the Obama campaign. He'll be in the neighborhood for his sister's Baltimore Symphony debut this week for Mahler's Fourth Symphony and Mozart concert arias with Marin Alsop conducting.

Communication in Design

Communication in Design

Those of you who have participated in the interior decorating ecourse by interiordezine.com, will know me well and that I always preach about getting the design brief right before you start a design project.

I am so sanctimonious about it and yet in the past two weeks, I have let my standards slip (due to exhaustion post earthquake and three busy children), and I have jumped in and completed three projects after never meeting the client, not having a full brief and rushing through the job, just to get it out of the way. I am appalled at my attitude and the results were to be expected.

The first project I had a one line sentence as a brief, "please do a color scheme for this office, the chairs are red and the task chairs are black." Great simple enough, color scheme done, clients love it, only to find out that the head office already had a standard color scheme that was to be used in all it's offices. Poor communication, redo the scheme to their colors. Failure number one.

Secondly a very similar scenario to the above, the outcome is now design by committee, everyone is having their five cents worth as no design brief was set. Failure number two.

Finally, painting had begun on a client's building, they had chosen the colors, once on the building, not sure if they were right, I was called in to do a considered color scheme, still no brief, just "make it look good." I just went with my gut instinct and we will see what happens there.

Why am I telling you of my three failures? So that you are tough with your clients and yourself. You cannot expect to get good results unless you know what the parameters are that you are working to, otherwise you are just guessing and that is like playing the lottery and how often do you win that?

So please, unless you are happy with what you have to work with, keep asking questions to ensure you get a full design brief, no matter what size the project is. Often people aren't clear of what they really want to do, and are disappointed at the end because you haven't created what they had in their minds, you aren't a mind reader, we don't get taught that at design school. Just get to know your client and learn the art of communication, get chatty, draw out of them what they really want to see. Often people have visions of what their home will look like in a certain style that they have seen in a magazine, but you will be able to look at that style and see that it won't work in the space that they have, when this happens, it is imperative that you communicate that to them, because if you try and make it happen when you already know it will not work, you have not communicated and not only let your client down but yourself as a professional.

I have failed myself as a professional due to taking shortcuts, if you don't have the time and enthusiasm to put into a job then you are best to let your client know that you can't provide one hundred percent to the project and see if they will hold until you get yourself back together. Don't ever underestimate the amount of time, energy and concentration that goes into working with clients and creating interiors for them. It is a very mentally exhausting task. Taking shortcuts is not the way to do it, it will kill your hard earned reputation if you do a bad job. (I hope none of my clients read this blog!) In my defense, I haven't done a bad job, I just haven't kept up to the very high expectations I set myself and therefore it feels like I have failed. I have had no complaints but I won't be taking on another project until I feel I have the time energy and enthusiasm to communicate with my client and most of all enjoy doing the work.

If you want to brush up on learning about taking the client brief you can visit my squidoo page on the topic, or visit the free downloads page to get some forms for helping you take the brief.

I hope you get out there and give everything you have to your projects while I get some rest.

thanks for sharing. used to face this all the time while working in an advertising agency. I can
completely relate to what you are saying.

Some times a lil conflict at the briefing stage is better than endless conflict at the end of the project
cheers. natasha

Babatayomi said...

Hey lee, very insightful. I have done like 3 different jobs but did not get the kind of satisfactioin I expected even though the clients were happy. Now i see what was missing, The Client Brief. Thanks for sharing this

Charlyanne said...

thanks for the reminder. I have a difficult time getting the brief down. Hard for me to ask the questions and get direct answers. Some are so vague about what they want. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I love puns!

entering my card in

It has been such a joy to find an art form that has brought me so much happiness. Being on the Arnold Grummer paper making team has done that. I simply love making paper and finding new ways to create something, is exciting. I'll have to do a DT post on this soon because by using the deckle division method when making paper you can create fun backgrounds to design your card on. The sun, the grass and the sky are all created using that method. The cows are a stamp that I cut out and adhered to the card along with the sentiment that I printed off my computer. A little bit of hand sewing and outlining the card with a pen finish it off.

3 Shorts Set to Crash Harder Than Sears

by Jeff Reeves | December 28, 2011 12:24 pm

The colossal collapse of Sears Holdings (NASDAQ:SHLD[1]) this week in the wake of news that Kmart and Sears will be closing more than 100 stores[2] was harmful to a lot of investors’ portfolios. SHLD stock gave up more than 25% in one day as a result, pushing down the year-to-date loss to an ugly 55% in 2011.

So, Sears was the worst investment ever this year, right?

Wrong. Investors just had to know how to be on the right side of SHLD shares when the bottom fell out — and how to profit.

Consider that as of the first of December, a whopping 40% of the “float” — that is, the amount of Sears Holdings stock that actually is available for trading on the public market — was held by short-side traders.

That means more than a few folks made a tidy sum on the big move down Tuesday!

This kind of short-selling can be risky and is not for everyone. Read this “Shorting Stocks 101[3]” article for complete details on the ins and outs of these trades.

But if you’re comfortable with the risk and want to take action, consider these three stocks with massive short interest that could go the way of Sears very soon:

Zagg Inc. (NASDAQ:ZAGG[4]) is an acronym for Zealous About Great Gadgets. This company makes accessories for smartphones, laptops and the like — a seemingly bulletproof business, considering everyone and their brother has one of those little sleeves for their iPhone.

Except there are signs momentum might be waning. Competition is fierce, and expensive charges related to the acquisition of competitor iFrog weighed on earnings this summer, with shares plummeting from $15 to just $7.50 currently.

The current short interest in ZAGG stock is a hefty 45% as of the beginning of December — even more than Sears saw before its crash.

Granted, the August volatility had a lot to do with declines. And yes, revenues continue to soar, percentage-wise. The company has gone from $5 million in annual revenue for fiscal 2007 to about $150 million projected for fiscal 2011 — but let’s be honest, that kind of mammoth growth simply can’t happen again. Not unless Zagg can crank out $4.5 billion in sales by 2015!

Momentum stocks[5] like Green Mountain (NASDAQ:GMCR[6]) show what happens when share prices outpace expectations. The bears are sharpening their claws on Zagg right now.

Barnes & Noble

If you think Sears was the no-brainer short of the century, here’s another one — Barnes & Noble (NYSE:BKS[7]). The company has managed to outlast its defunct rival, Borders, and has projected a return to profitability in a year or so thanks to revenue that actually has risen substantially since 2009 lows.

B&N might not be disappearing with these improvements to its business, and a lack of another big bookstore competitor (I’m talking brick-and-mortar, not Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN[8]), of course).

But in the short term, short-selling is the order of the day. BKS stock had almost 50% short interest as of Dec. 1.

If you think Sears was a clear loser based on broader business troubles and consumer weakness, Barnes & Noble might be a logical short-side play for you too. Many other investors seem to think so, judging by the short interest.

Sodastream (NASDAQ:SODA[9]) manufactures “home beverage carbonation systems” — in plain English, they allow you to pour a fountain drink without going to a restaurant. It’s delicious, cost-effective and fun to use Sodastream gear.

But short-side traders are tasting a bubble here. As of Dec. 1, SODA stock was seeing a full 60% of its float held short.

Why? Well, Sodastream has been public for less than a year and remains right where it was three days after its IPO price — around $33. The company was offered at $20, first traded at $24.75 on Nov. 3 and then ran-up to almost $80 in July before seeing a spectacular crash. There isn’t a very long history of earnings and revenue, so investors are uncertain of growth. And that old cautionary tale of Green Mountain and its Keurig coffee machines or Crocs (NASDAQ:CROX[10]) footwear crops up[11] — prompting the question of whether SODA is a fad stock that is ready to hit a ceiling.

The bears aren’t always right, but the crowd is betting strongly against upside moves in this pick right now.

Container Shipping Stocks

U.S. Exchanges

List of Publicly Traded Container Shipping Companies Listed on Major U.S. Exchanges

Containerships are responsible for shipping a very large percentage of the world’s manufactured goods today. The basic business model that many of these containership companies employ is straightforward. These companies lease out their containerships to different liner shipping companies through medium to long-term charter contracts. If a company is able to successfully execute this strategy then they potentially could generate stable cash flow through these lease contracts. While many of these companies focus on this business model, there are also shipping services that the companies offer outside of medium to long-term contracts to a variety of industries around the world.

Also included on this list are companies that rent cargo and freight containers which include TAL International (TAL) and Textainer Group (TGH).

MedImmune Investors Get Paid

In a clearly opportunistic deal AstraZeneca is buying MedImmune for a whopping $15.2 billion ($58 per share). AZ says the acquisition will add significantly to its pipeline and complement the biologics discovery expertise within its Cambridge Antibody Technology unit with development and manufacturing skills and infrastructure. MedImmune also brings AZ for the first time into the vaccines space, an increasingly popular market for Big Pharma.

The price is a 53% premium to MEDI's closing price the day before it announced it was for sale, and 21% above its Friday close. But AZ investors hopeful that for all that cash the Big Pharma would boost its ailing late-stage pipeline (where it has suffered a handful of setbacks in the past few months) aren't likely to be pleased by the deal. MEDI CEO David Mott noted on a call today with AZ analysts that MEDI anticipates having only three to five projects in pivotal trials in the 2009-2010 timeframe. Most of MEDI's $1.3 billion annual revenue comes from sales of the respiratory drug Synagis ($1.1 billion in 2006).

The acquisition was first reported over the weekend by the WSJ ($), which noted their were four pharmaceutical bidders for MedImmune, including AZ and Eli Lilly & Co. The deal is the latest sign of biotechs increased leverage over product-hungry Big Pharma, and will further the agendas of biotech shareholders that argue for immediate satisfaction via M&A.

AZ will finance the cash deal with a variety of debt vehicles, according to AZ CFO Jon Symonds. The refinancing plan hasn't been put in place yet, he says, but "clearly we'll want to preserve our financial capacity to take further opportunities as they come. This is not the end of our externalization ambitions."
The company's next move is anyone's guess. After all, AZ went after MedImmune despite its protestations that it wasn't in the market for such a deal, suggesting Big Pharma in some cases doesn't know what it wants until it's presented with an opportunity--and if biotech investors get their way, many more such opportunities will come AZ and others' way. Just how does the acquisition of MedImmune jive with CEO David Brennan's comments during an extensive and exclusive interview with IN VIVO last month:

Q: Are larger bolt-on acquisitions out of the question?

I never say never. But bigger acquisitions are not really on the radar screen at the moment. We're focused on getting more quality products into the portfolio. Large-company transactions are complicated, painful, and take a lot of effort.

Good luck!

It's about a secret government weapon called Trixie, and now it's about to get a reboot. The remake was batted around over that last few years and passed off by director Brad Anderson. But now it's been been picked up by Breck Eisner and today Overture Films announced it would be backing the pic — whose themes fit nicely with today's bioterror fears.The 1973 Trixie is actually a nasty virus that accidentally gets unleashed on middle America. The virus makes people insane with rage and riots break out all over and the Army is called in, and that's when everything really goes to hell. Sounds very 28 Days Later. Overture CEO Chirs McGurk explained the reason that they were interested in this endeavor because they were looking for horror that was smart. The script was penned by Ray Wright and Scott Kosar and Romero will watch over as executive producer. [Variety]

For most adults, talking to kids can be daunting. And not just in the "watch what you say" way but in the "they won't say anything to me" way. Luckily, science has stepped in to find the best methods for getting actual responses from kids.

There are a lot of contradictory bits of "common sense" out there about kids. They lie all the time. They're innocents who don't know how to lie. They're only saying something because their parents told them to say it. They always say exactly what their parents don't want them to say. They say the darndest things. They say nothing.

Really, what the research says is that all of these are true. What kind of response you get is dependent on how you act, though, not on the kid.

Child Interviewing

The vast majority of information on speaking with children comes from research into the best practices for forensic interviews. Forensic interviews are interviews where the goal is to get a child to tell you, truthfully, everything he or she saw or happened to them. Most of the time, it's done when a child is the witness to a crime or the victim of one. For obvious reasons, these interviewers are always looking to minimize the chance that their questions will bias the answers children give, and are always trying to get children to do as much of the talking as possible.

Currently, most of the current understanding of talking to children is incorporated into the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Protocol and the Ten Step Interview by Thomas D. Lyon, J.D., Ph.D.

Thankfully, most of us aren't going to be talking to children for this purpose. We just want to be able to have a conversation with a child.

Narratives, Open-ended Questions, and Invitations

If you're trying to have a conversation with a child, these three things are going to be the most important. The NICHD Protocol and the Ten Step Interview both include what rapport building/narrative practice. That's basically what any conversation with a kid should look like. Since, in that situation, the practice is to get the child comfortable before asking about something sensitive. But you are just asking about some event and let the child tell you all about it.

However, when a child is not responsive, a lot of us have the instinct to "help" them by giving them "easier" questions. So the invitation "Tell me about your dog" becomes a series of close-ended questions where the adult ends up doing most of the talking. Like:

"Is that your dog?"

"What's his name?"

"Is he brown?"

And the child is just saying "Yes," "Buster," and "No."

Open-ended questions are questions that can't be answered by "yes" or "no" or a single word. In adult conversations, we use closed questions all the time without really knowing that they're closed. For example, most adults hear "Is that your dog?" as an invitation to tell you all about their dog. Kids only see a yes/no question, and will stop talking after giving an answer.

What you want are open-ended invitations that get narrative answers from children. Invitations sound like like "Tell me everything about X" or "You said X. Tell me everything about that." A 2007 study, looked at the interviews of 52 youths who were victims of sexual abuse. The details given by the children were more likely to be confirmed by another source when they were given in response to invitations.

Making sure the invitations are open ended is equally important. In a 1997 study, Sternberg et al. found that children 9 and older, produced around 50 details when given yes-no prompts and 140 details when narrative practice was used. Open-ended questions mean that children will tell you more. Yet another study not only found that "free-recall" (i.e. open-ended) questions produced the most response from children, but that closed-ended questions produced more details only as children get older.

When the children are older, they've learned not to take close-ended questions as literally as younger children do. They are closer to adults, who understand close-ended questions as invitations to tell a narrative. But for most children, close-ended questions will elicit the shortest answer possible. More than that, close-ended questions may even get a child to tell you things they know aren't true. They feel pressured to answer close-ended questions.

For example, a study by Amanda H. Waterman, Mark Blades, and Christopher Spencer titled "Do children try to answer nonsensical questions?" In this study, 73 children aged between 5-8 were asked 3 sensible open-ended questions (ex: "What do birds eat?"), 3 sensible close-ended questions (ex: "Is summer hotter than winter?"), 3 nonsensical open-ended questions (ex: "Where do circles live?"), 3 nonsensical close-ended questions (ex: "Is a box louder than a knee?"), and two "scrambled" questions (ex: "Than is louder thunder whisper a?").

All the children were told that they could say they didn't know the answer and, when asked three weeks later, nearly all of the children correctly identified the questions as making sense or being "silly." Almost all of the children answered the sensible questions, both open and closed, correctly. And 90% of the children answered the open-ended nonsensical questions correctly, saying they didn't know. However, 72% of children tried to answer the nonsensical close-ended questions, even though they later said that the questions were "silly."

Now, as much fun as it is to ask children nonsense questions and watch their faces as they try to answer them, if the goal is have a conversation, stay away from close-ended questions.

This is something that only really comes up in the forensic interview context, but the implications are important for anyone talking to children. The first is letting a child know that he or she can answer "I don't know" at any point. A 1999 study asked 157 children aged 9-13 a number of misleading and neutral questions, both open- and closed-ended, about their trip to a science museum. In the first part of the study, the if the children attempted to answer questions they couldn't know the answer to, the interviewer reiterated that they could say "I don't know" and asked again. This did decrease the answers to the misleading questions but also decreased answers to the non-misleading ones.

This implied that restating the "I don't know instruction" throughout the interview made the children believe that this was a correct answer. Basically, children are incredibly susceptible to the cues you give when you talk to them. In the second part of the study, the "I don't know" instruction was expanded to also encourage giving correct answers, which fixed the problem. For everyday talking to children, this indicates that you should watch your own responses. You may not think you're doing it, but smiling at a certain answer or giving a certain response may make the kid repeat the answer, in hopes of pleasing you.

(Note: This study also reinforced the open-ended questions thing: even when told they could say "I don't know," children had trouble not answering the close-ended misleading questions)

The other interesting one is a 2008 study into truth induction. In this study, 99 boys and 99 girls aged 4 to 7 spoke with an interviewer who then left the room. Another adult entered and did one of four things: 1) play with coin and Lego house; 2) play with coin and Lego house, but the adult encouraged kid to keep the play a secret; 3) only play with coin; and 4) play with coin, but child encouraged to say they played with the house. Then, the interviewer returned and did one of three things: interviewed the child normally, reassured the child that they could tell the interviewer anything and they wouldn't get in trouble, or ask the child to promise to tell the truth. Reassurance did not have a positive effect, but the oath did increase the number of children to tell truth, regardless of what had happened in when they played with the other adult. This implies that asking a child to tell you the truth will greatly increase the chance that that's what you get.

Don't Try to Get Time and/or Numbers

Always remember that time and numbers are really difficult for children. One study by Wandrey et al., asked 167 6 to 10-year old children their age, birthday, and current month. By age 10, almost all of the children were answering the questions correctly. Additionally, all of these children were in foster care. Half were asked about their last move and half were asked about their last court date, which would appear to be events that would stick in a child's mind. However, even only 56% of the older children could correctly answer questions about their most recent move and only 52.78% of them could correctly answer the questions about their last court date. That's barely better than chance.

Yet another study staged an event around Halloween for 86 4 to 13-year old children. Three months later, the children were asked about the event. Fewer than 20% remembered that it had taken place close to Halloween, and they were no better than chance when asked if it was before or after Halloween.

When talking with kids, stay away asking about time. Chances are that they won't be able to tell you when something happened.

In terms of numbers, the same Wandrey et al. study above also looked at how accurate children were in answering questions about how many times they've moved or been to court. Very, very few of the children could correctly give the number. And only about two-thirds of the children could correctly answer the more leading "One time or more than one time?" version of that question.

Other Things You Can Do To Make a Child Talk (And Things Not To Do!)

Here are a few other things that studies have shown encourage a child to speak:

  • Using the child's name (Hershkowitz, 2009)
  • "Back-channel" facilitators like "Uh-huh" and "Oh" (Cautilli et al., 2005)

And a few things not to do:

  • unclear invitations like just saying "Tell me more" (Hershkowitz, 2011) or even "Tell me more about that" (Walker, 1993)
  • Invitations as questions. This is a huge one for those of us from California. The invitations "You said X. Tell me more about X." can become "You said X?" with the right inflection. That turns it into a yes/no question and will pretty much stop a kid's narrative. (Evans & Roberts, 2009; Evans et al., 2010)

Insider news & Analysis in Iran

On Wednesday, Robert Joseph, the former United States Special Envoy for Nuclear Nonproliferation participated in the latest in a series of online question-and-answer sessions hosted by the website

The former Under-Secretary of State for Arms Control & International Security and arms control expert spoke for several minutes about his objections to the emerging nuclear agreement between Iran and the P5+1 group of nations before spending the remainder of the hour-long webcast responding to questions from international journalists and other interested parties.

Joseph criticized the Obama administration for violating its assurances that a bad deal would be worse than no deal. In describing the April 2 framework agreement as the framework for a very bad deal, Joseph echoed the sentiments of other opponents of the Obama administration’s Iran strategy, such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the leaders of Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States. The Iranian opposition coalition the National Council of Resistance of Iran and its knew component, the People’s Mojahedein Organization of Iran (PMOI/Mek),  have also expressed their reservations on the agreement.

These opponents have variously expressed displeasure with the US fact sheet describing some details of the April 2 agreement, which was expected to set the stage for a June 30 final deal. Points of contention include the fact that Iran will be permitted to retain a larger portion of its nuclear enrichment infrastructure including its fortified facility at the Fordow site, as well as the fact that the emerging agreement does not specifically provide for inspector access beyond Iran’s declared nuclear sites.

“It’s not going to get any better than the fact sheet,” Joseph said of any final agreement that may be signed. “It can only get worse. And it probably will get worse.”

Throughout Wednesday’s hour-long discussion, Joseph repeatedly emphasized that his assessment of the ongoing negotiations leads him to the conclusion that there will not be mechanisms in place for effective verification of Iran’s compliance with its obligations under the agreement.

“My sense is that they will cheat and we won’t detect it,” Joseph declared, adding that the Obama administration’s approach to the nuclear agreement seems to rely upon putting its trust in the Iranian regime to willfully comply. But Joseph insisted that “trust is not part of the equation,” as he outlined the Iranian regime’s past cheating in the nuclear sphere, as well as its more general untrustworthy regional activities.

In addition to criticizing the Obama administration for naivety, Joseph implicitly rejected the president’s notion that “hardliners” in American political circles are working to undermine any nuclear agreement whatsoever, and even to push for war with Iran.

“If we can negotiate an end [to the Iranian nuclear program] – a real end – with a good agreement, I think that would be a good thing,” Joseph declared. But his commentary left no doubt that an agreement along the lines currently being negotiated would fall far short of his notion of a “good agreement.”

Joseph noted that if he were in charge of the negotiations he would insist upon no zero enrichment, the complete closure of the Arak site, which could provide Iran with a plutonium pathway to a nuclear weapon, and highly intrusive inspections, including inspections of national security sites.

Anticipating challenges that such a deal is unrealistic, Joseph pointed to historical examples including President Ronald Reagan’s conflict with the Soviet Union in which he did what many said could not be done by forcing it to remove 100 percent of its intermediate-range missiles from both Europe and Asia.

According to Joseph, similar triumphs are achievable in the Iran nuclear issue as well, if the West is willing to use both economic sanctions and a credible nuclear threat to compel Iran to soften its intransigent positions. As it stands, Joseph said, the Obama administration’s approach has led Tehran to continually raise its demands, so that the conclusion of the P5+1 deal is no solely dependent on whether Iran can “take yes for an answer,” at a time when “yes” is the answer to every demand they make.

U2 needs no introduction, it’s as simple as that! The originally Dublin-based punk rock band became international sensation in only a matter of years! They were performing as a touring band until their 1987 album The Joshua Tree put them in the limelight. Their lucky star hasn’t left them since: 8 albums later, we can easily say that U2 is one of Ireland’s and the world’s best selling artists of all time. Their 13 studio albums including Achtung Baby (1991) and All That You Can’t Leave Behind sold more than 170 million records worldwide. It seems that they Still haven’t found what they’re looking for though: 2016 will mark the 40th anniversary of the band’s existence! The boys say they’re are well alive and kicking: their desire to remain relevant stems from their never-ending enthusiasm to what they do. Way to go U2, way to go Dublin!

Lap Top Computer Disappears Into Pocket

India's huge population is shaping the usage of the up-to-the-minute Bluetooth engineering - and in bend is being molded by it. The adjacent coevals laptop computer computing machine computer, which Japanese Islands is in the procedure of developing, is a bluish tooth (wireless protocol) laptop that volition be the size of small more than than a fountain pen. It will suit tidily into your pocket or purse. At first glimpse it could easily be mistaken for a fountain pen that appears to have got a photographic camera attached to the top of it.

This pen-like machine will project the practical silver screen and keyboard on any level surface. You will be able to finish all the usual mathematical functions you make now, on your desktop or laptop computing machine computer. The twenty-four hours of struggling with heavy computing machine bags on your shoulder will be long gone. All you will necessitate is a wall to project the practical silver screen onto and a level tabular array top for the practical keyboard and bingo. You will link to the Internet and complete all your computing machine tasks, with small more than than than a pen size machine.

By the 1980's PCs (personal computers) were becoming a more common sight, followed closely on its heels with the lap top, which became readily available in 1982. The first laptop computing machine computing machine was a thousand statute miles away from the first 30 short ton electronic computer, constructed in 1943 and known as Colossus. The 1980 version was around the size of a portable sewing machine and ready to change the human face of the concern world. By 1995, when Windows 95 standardised the operating systems on all computers, a new epoch was ushered in.

Laptops were originally thought to be only valid for usage by a 'small niche market', such as as the military or gross sales people. How incorrect was that? There are more than laptop computing machines used in concerns today, than desk top computers. A laptop computer is almost mandatory equipment for all students.

Jaiz #Takaful Insurance to commence in 3 states

The Jaiz Foundation has expressed readiness to commence Islamic Takaful Insurance in 3 Nigerian states, Kaduna, Kano and Lagos, with the head office being in Abuja. This was disclosed by the Chairman of Jaiz Takaful Insurance, Dr Umaru Abdul Mutallab, who explained that the insurance products give equal opportunity for customers to be owners of the company as well. Also speaking on the operation of the insurance policy, the Managing Director of Jaiz Islamic Takaful Insurance, Momodou Musa Joof, said the company shares profit by 80% to its participants who have not suffered losses. In the meantime, those who suffer losses would have been paid first before the distribution of profit. The element which goes to the needy called Zakat is also distributed before profit is shared. Joof noted that the good thing in Takaful is that, if no loss occurs, the customer's contribution becomes an automatic investment.

Jaiz Bank appoints Usman, MD

Hassan Usman has been appointed as the new Managing Director of Jaiz Bank. The decision of the Board of Directors was reached after a rigorous selection exercise. Hassan Usman takes over from Mahe Abubakar who has acted as MD since December 2015. Mr. Usman had previously acted as Managing Director in 2013. The Bank recently obtained a National Operating License from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). This will enable it to spread across all the 36 states of the Federation.

#Nigeria looks to #sukuk for infrastructure funding needs

Nigeria hopes to use a proposed Sukuk issuance programme to help fund big infrastructure needs. The country plans to borrow as much as $10 bn from debt markets to help fund a budget deficit worsened by the slump in oil prices that has slashed revenues and weakened the naira. Secretary of finance Alhaji Mahmoud Isa-Dutse said the federal government is working on a sovereign sukuk with details expected within the year. In 2013, Nigeria's Osun State issued 10 bn naira ($62 mn) of sukuk, but no other sukuk transactions have followed.

FG resorts to Islamic Bond to fund budget

As the pressure on federal revenue mounts following steady decline in oil revenue, the Federal Government would be resorting to a Sukuk Bond for funding the widening budget deficit. The Debt Management Office, DMO, and Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, are collaborating in an effort to issue the Nigerian sovereign Islamic bonds this year.Details of the expected revenue from the bond is not yet disclosed but officials said they expect significant bridging of the 2016 budget deficit which has exceeded the initial N2.2 trillion estimate. According to DMO issuing a sovereign Sukuk will attract significant amounts of affordable capital from the Gulf countries and other established Islamic markets around the world into Nigeria.

Raw Milk is Safe

SOURCE: Katie Gelfling (k.gelfling@gmail.com) SUBHEAD: US government data indicates risk associated with raw milk is less than for most other foods. By Sara on 1 August 2012 for the Healthy Home Economist - (http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/government-data-proves-raw-milk-is-safe/) Image above: Painting of "The Milkmaid with her Cows on a Summer Day" by Julien Dupre. From (http://www.paintinghere.com/painting/A_Milkmaid_with_her_Cows_on_a_Summer_Day_830.html). I guess ambulance chasers like food borne illness attorney Bill Marler have to do something for a living. Otherwise, why would they attempt to demonize an inherently safe, healthy food like raw milk?

This just in from researcher Dr. Ted Beals MD as published in the Wise Traditions Journal, Summer 2011:

Raw Milk Risk Extremely Small Compared to Risk of Other Foods

WASHINGTON, DC June 22, 2011: Data gleaned from U.S. government websites and government-sanctioned reports on foodborne illnesses show that the risk of contracting foodborne illness by consuming raw milk is much smaller than the risk of becoming ill from other foods, according to research by Dr. Ted Beals, MD, appearing in the Summer, 2011 issue of Wise Traditions, the quarterly journal of the Weston A. Price Foundation.

“At last we have access to the numbers we need to determine the risk of consuming raw milk on a per-person basis,” says Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, a non-profit nutrition education foundation that provides information on the health benefits of raw, whole milk from pastured cows.

The key figure that permits a calculation of raw milk illnesses on a per-person basis comes from a 2007 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) FoodNet survey, which found that 3.04 percent of the population consumes raw milk, or about 9.4 million people, based on the 2010 census. This number may in fact be larger in 2011 as raw milk is growing in popularity. For example, sales of raw milk increased 25 percent in California in 2010, while sales of pasteurized milk declined 3 percent.

In addition, Dr. Beals has compiled published reports of illness attributed to raw milk from 1999 to 2010. During the eleven-year period, illnesses attributed to raw milk averaged 42 per year.

“Using government figures for foodborne illness for the entire population, Dr. Beals has shown that you are about thirty-five thousand times more likely to get sick from other foods than you are from raw milk,” says Fallon Morell. “And with good management practices in small grass-based dairies offering fresh unprocessed whole milk for direct human consumption, we may be able to reduce the risk even further.”

“It is irresponsible for senior national government officials to oppose raw milk, claiming that it is inherently hazardous,” says Dr. Beals. “There is no justification for opposing the sale of raw milk or warning against its inclusion in the diets of children and adults.”

According to Pete Kennedy, president of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, “Where raw milk is concerned, the FDA has an agenda apart from protecting the public health. The agency wants to restrict and discourage the sale of unprocessed dairy products. This will have the effect of denying freedom of choice.”

“Every time there is a possible connection between illness and raw milk, government officials issue dire press releases and call for bans on raw milk sales,” says Fallon Morell. “However, these numbers fail to justify the government opposition and prove what we’ve known all along, that raw milk is a safe and healthy food.”

Isle of May Lighthouse Open day 2011

At the end of the day David said to me, 'Well that's three down and one to go.'

This event had taken quite a lot of organisation. The Main Lighthouse, Beacon, Lowlight and Engine room were opened up to the public. It was particularly special because for the first time ever the Stephenson Lighthouse was opened up by the Northern Lighthouse Board.

For the third open day in a row the boats were full and the sun was shining.

It was a unique experience. Visitors were able climb the tower up to the parapet, see the lightroom and look around the living quarters.

Visitors climbing the spiral staircase

It was possible to see some of the ornate furnishings

Scotlands first lighthouse was opened up and staff were present to tell its story

Looking closely you could see Adam Livingstones initials carved into the fireplace in the beacon

It is certainly a great view from the top of the Mainlight

For the more adventurous it was possible to climb the Lowlight Tower

This event was planned and promoted with the help of Fife Council as part of their 'Doors Open Day.' Many thanks to the Northern Lighthouse Board staff who were there to answer questions on the day.

David counting the roosting gulls from the North Horn

On your next visit to the island you may notice that the North Horn is getting a new coat of paint. SNH are responsible for the horns and the Lowlight.

Our last event of the year on the 25th September will be to celebrate the seals on the island. Experts from the Sea Mammal Research Unit will be present to take a close look at these animals. The Isle of May is the forth largest seal colony in the UK.

Strauss Energy Morning Cookies Line

Strauss Energy has a new line of cookies they are calling עוגיות דגנים לבוקר which can either be translated as Morning Cereal Cookies or Morning Grain Cookies. The cookies are made partly with whole flours so maybe that was part of the reason they used the word דגנים . I think the name is most likely because breakfast cereals are called דגני בוקר  and Strauss is trying to pull these off as a substitute breakfast, like all of their granola-type bars on their “Energy” label.

שטראוס ENERGY סדרת עוגיות הדגנים לבוקר...טוב

I saw 3 items in this new Morning Cereal Cookies line; A Chocolate Cream filled Cookie Bar, A Whole Flour Mixed Nut Cookie & A Whole Flour Blueberry Cookie. I don’t tend to care for cooked/baked fruit so I got the first two options to try.

Meir Beigel’s “PetieBagel”

מאיר בייגל פתיבייגל
When I first read about this new product from Meir Beigel I could not imagine what it would actually taste like. The thought of combining pretzels and Petit Beurre tea biscuits into one item seemed odd and farfetched to me. I do enjoy mixing salt and sweet snacks but I couldn’t work out how a tea biscuit pretzel would taste.

A drying wetland near Marlay Point

It doesn't take long with a few hot days, decent winds and 10mm of evaporation each day for those ephemeral wetlands to feel the pinch. I have been visiting the one pictured above, on the Marlay Point Road, most weeks since the Sharp-tailed Sandpipers arrived in September. It almost dried out before Christmas but in early December an Easy Coast Low and 150mm of rain fixed the job for a while. Birdwise, it went quiet. The Grey Teal went to more fruitful water and even the STSs buzzed off for a while. But they are back, starting to fuel up for their coming journey.

The wetland is starting to dry out again. The Black-winged Stilts can walk right across without getting their belly feathers wet. The Red-capped Plovers and their myriad young have lots of mudflats to check out. Red-necked Stint make a potential mis-identification with the young Red-caps. Fifty or so Australian Shelduck have been around for a couple of weeks now. They feed in the deeper areas compared to the  Grey Teal. The shores are dotted with White-faced Herons and Masked Lapwing and there were three Black Swans this morning. I spent an hour standing and crouching [should have brought a chair] by the "shoreline". The Red-caps, Red-necks and Sharpies, over time, all came to within 10 metres or less of me. Neither the ducks, stilts nor swans were bothered by my presence. Mozzie count -- nil! It was very enjoyable. I trust you will enjoy the images.

Maffra Swamp

Is officially called the Macalister Swamp Reserve. Although it has a catchment from local paddocks, it is the influx from a flood on the Macalister River that completely fills it. I went for a visit this afternoon with a card in my camera this time! I wondered if the Latham's Snipe would still be there. A sign in the Alistair Fielding Bird Hide says that 200 of these intrepid migratory summer visitors have been seen at one time in a bonza year. I spotted about 10, mostly because they flew away with their typical quick, explosive 'chak' Pizzey & Knight or rasping 'kzek kzek kzek' Morcombe on take-off. But I was able to get some good images; by stealth. I also saw plenty of other birds. A selection below.

As the season advances and wetlands begin to dry out, the area for foraging diminishes and the species become more concentrated and, perhaps, less discerning as to their feeding companions?

Great Scott! Great fishing Great Egret!

Spotted this Great Egret in breeding colours doing a spot of fishing. It is his catch that is highly unusual.

 Now that is a very big worm. Now, wait a minute, it is an elver.

Azure Kingfisher Fishing

The Azure Kingfisher (Alcedo/Ceyx azureus) is one of Australia's two true fishing kingfishers. The other is the Little Kingfisher of tropical NT and Qld.

Fraser and Gray, in Australian Bird Names, tell us that Ceyx [pronounced say-iks] was, in Greek mythology, the son of the Morning Star and husband of Alcyone who, because they were so happy together, joking referred to themselves as Zeus and Hera who, when they heard about this sacrilegious impertinence, sent a wild storm which wrecked Ceyx's ship and drowned him. Alcyone found his body washed up on the beach and leapt into the waves drowning herself. Both were transformed into birds usually said to be kingfishers. The blue of the Azure Kingfisher is regal indeed. His orange-rufous breast and red legs are pathognomonic!

Thank you to Ross Stothers and the Heyfield Birdwatchers for the knowledge about the presence of this uncommon little resident. This kingfisher was spotted in the Herb Guyatt Sanctuary west of Sale.

"It may look like I am basking in the sun but, in reality,
I am keeping a very close eye on the water for a potential meal"

"Ah hah. Spotted a small something."

"Dive. Dive."

"It's hard work flying uphill with a meal
and against gravity."

"I have no idea how those big birds manage.
Check out the Talking Naturally blog in
the blog list to the right or click here."

Gasp. "Here at last. That took all of two
seconds. I must be slowing dow."
For this series of images I manually focussed the camera to a point about where the bird entered the water. Thus the last image is slightly out of focus as the lens was at f6.3 allowing for max shutter speed but minimal depth of field. The bird does have a small fish in it's beak.

Magic eh? f8 and be there. Thanks Ross.

Banded or Black-winged?

Banded Stilts seem not to come to Sale so I visited their current home at Victoria Lagoon at Holland's Landing to have a look and fix their identification in my mind to counteract any false id I may make in the future. There were several hundred in the shallows with the pelicans, a few teal and about 40 lonely-looking Black-winged Stilts.

They were a fair way away but, suddenly, a hundred or so took to the wing and flew across the lagoon and landed just in front of me. 500mm was too long!!

They didn't stay too long and flew back to the pelicans about 100 metres over on the other side.

In this image [below] the lonely Black-winged Stilts are on the right. They are the ones with the black back on their necks. The Banded Stilts have an all-white neck [and the band across the chest, of course].

Here is an image of BWS from a few weeks ago at Heart Hall Road to the east of the Sale RAAF base.

Finally, Bill Jefferson has to face the music. If convicted of all charges, he may spend the rest of his life in prison.

From the indictment itself:

Consistent with his oath of office and the duties of the office he held, Defendent JEFFERSON owed the citizens of the United States and the United States House of Representatives a duty to perform the responsibilities of his office free from deceit, fraud, concealment, bias, conflict of interest, self-enrichment, and self-dealing.

I couldn’t have said this better myself. I wish I could take comfort as did the 30% of voting New Orleans residents who re-elected this charlatan in the fantasy that this is a setup of a man working hard for his Katrina-beleaguered constituents by a hostile Bush Administration intent on silencing a savage critic.

Ha. CNN has the best bulleted summary that says it all:

• William Jefferson faces 16 charges of bribery, obstruction, racketeering
• Louisiana Democrat’s schemes reached across Atlantic, prosecutors say
• Investigators found $90,000 in Jefferson’s home freezer
• Search of Capitol Hill office prompted constitutional questions

Now watch as the CBC leaps to his defense as they have in the past. After all, these are folks, many of whom, contributed to his most recent campaign and protested Speaker Pelosi’s removal of Dollar Bill from the powerful Ways and Means Committee. (Read my past coverage for more info) Shame on them if they do so. Shame on all of us. I hope you agree and will speak out that African-Americans do not support this behavior. The Republicans are already seeking a tit-for-tat to brand Democrats (and African-American legislators) with the same brush of corruption they currently wear.

From the Politico:

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) moved quickly to force the expulsion of Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) from Congress following his indictment Monday on federal corruption charges.

The Republican leader will ask members of the House to vote on a resolution requiring the ethics committee to review the indictment filed against him in order to seek his expulsion from the House, according to his office.

Democrats and African-American leaders would be wise to isolate Jefferson while advocating for new Congressional leadership that will truly represent New Orleans’ post-Katrina recovery. Someone waits in the wings — Karen Carter.

I like Down with Tyranny’s analysis:

That was from the Times-Picayune story explaing that their town’s congresscritter had just been indicted on 16 counts of racketeering, soliciting bribes, fraud, money-laundering, obstructing justice…” Maybe Speaker Pelosi should take some steps to impact that ability.

Ditto for the CBC.

I donated this cover to this weeks Le Cool. I drew it a while back as part of a project called SweetView.

SweetView is eventually going to be a series of art prints designed to resonate with Londoners. So rather than views of the London Eye with Big Ben in the background, or Big Ben with the London Eye in the background - views we only recognise from the Apprentice titles - they will be the crossroads, markets and hidden squares that provide the true backdrop to our lives. I'm running it in conjunction with Charlotte, my very own Lord Sugar, and we will launch it fully in September. There's to be twelve prints, one for each inner borough (Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea, Hammersmith & Fulham, Wandsworth, Lambeth, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Islington, Camden, Greenwich and Lewisham - suggestions for locations in each place would be gratefully received).

If you'd like a friendly email when the SweetView project launches, just email or put a comment on this post.

The Hackney print will be the one adapted for the above cover.

Right now I'm colouring the Lambeth one - Brixton Market. Here's what the linework looks like:

There's an interview, of sorts, on the Le Cool website.
