Towards Connemara; Sligo - michael.tyson.id.au 08/10/2009 From the Sperrins, we drove for what seemed like three or four times as long as we expected, stopping on the way to get fuel, empty the dreaded black water and top up on fresh water. Once we were about an hour over the border into the Republic of Ireland, the motorway became very picturesque, with enormous steep-sided mountains and passing through a pretty river valley. Eventually, we were closing in on Sligo, a town that happe

P@SHA launches Relief Drive for IDPs – Help us help the people of Swat! - (USA)
All I have been hearing the past few days have been things like “this is the second or third worst crisis in the world” – as if it is a competition, as if it matters whether it is the worst or not. What we should be focusing on are the hundreds of thousands of innocent people – men, women and children – who have had to leave their homes, their villages, everything they hold dear, out of fear – simply to save their lives and the lives of their families. These people need our help. They need foo

The War on Sharing: Why the FSF Cares About RIAA Lawsuits - (USA)
Guest post by John Sullivan Operations Manager, FSF We don’t make (much) music here at the Free Software Foundation , so it’s natural for people to wonder why the FSF has been standing up for individuals targeted by lawsuits launched by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Most recently we filed an *amicus curiae* brief in the case of *Sony BMG Music Entertainment, et al. v. Joel Tenenbaum* showing the RIAA’s theory of statutory damage awards to be unconstitutional.

UK Lottery - (USA)
by Susan Renolds To many people, the lottery represents an opportunity to win money, in large or small amounts, in a legal, organized, even communally beneficial way. To others, it represents an opportunity to take advantage of people’s optimism and good will by scamming them in the name of a legal lottery. Unfortunately, the UK National Lottery is no different from other organized lotteries in the world. Lottery players, and sometimes non-lottery players, need to educate themselves about the

Breaking the Cycle Through Better Programs - (USA)
Attending one of the recent Ventures in Development salons a couple of weeks ago, myself and 30 others came together to brain storm ideas on programs for migrant students. It was one of those events that I really enjoy going to as bringing like minded people together for such an experience can often yield interesting results, and ultimately, it forces me to climb out of my box. An issue that China has faced for some time( download report here ), and where a number of organizations have come

Study For A Forensic Science Degree Online - (USA)
Television programs like Cold Case Files and CSI have prompted an increase in the publics fascination with forensic science. What is not generally known, however, is that forensic science is a field that involves much more than is shown on television. Everyone knows that forensic scientists work in an area of law and are responsible for examining evidence to solve crimes. But they do more than work in labs, testing samples of DNA. Forensic scientists also visit crime scenes, study the crime loca

Election 2010: Public Counting & Code Review - (USA)
Computer Programs A computer program is a set of instructions that a computer follows to accomplish its task. Without a program, a computer is just a dumb chunk of metal and plastic. With a program the computer can help us browse the web, send and receive email, Skype our relatives abroad, format and print beautiful documents, and balance our household budget. A program is written by a human computer programmer, using a human-readable programming language like C or Java. This version of the

Goodbye to fair elections in Wisconsin - (USA)
This long email is a shocker, and so well worth reading to the end. MCM From http://blackboxvoting.org : Wisconsin is set to ratify a ‘5-year plan’ which will advocate looking into forced mail-in voting, Etch-a-Sketch-style electronic voter registration tablets which eliminate the physical signature, and Internet voting. The combination of mail-in voting and physical signature removal pulls the wheels right off of mail-in voting checks and balances — and safeguards for mail-in voting are

Notes from the City of Toronto Web 2.0 Summit - (USA)
Thanks to Aaron Kim's referral, I participated on a panel about Generation Y and Government 2.0 at the City of Toronto's Web 2.0 Summit. I told a couple of stories about characteristics of my generation and opportunities (for everyone!) opened up by Web 2.0, including Clay Shirky's story about 4-year-olds and televisions (hmm, got the details wrong on that one). During the panel, I learned about the City of Toronto's push towards citizen-centric views of information with their 311 project, some

10 Reasons Why You Should Become A Virtual Assistant This Year - (USA)
First of all, what is a virtual assistant (VA)? I like to explain it as a word processor gone wild. A VA is someone who works with clients, providing them with top quality support services without having to be physically present at a clients office. VA services are becoming more and more popular thanks to today’s technology such as email, the Internet, online instant messaging, fax, phone, and overnight delivery.
