Welcome to IRL, an ongoing feature where we talk about the gadgets, apps and toys we're using in real life and take a second look at products that already got the formal review treatment.
Can't get more random than this, folks: in this week's edition of IRL, we have Darren recommending a vacuum cleaner, Dan Cooper continuing his search for a backup phone charger and Jon Fingas putting the Galaxy S III to the test against his beloved HTC One X.
Maybe you wonder how learning physics with ease and you can easily understand the material being studied. Actually, our ability to capture knowledge practically the same average, but why the final results obtained showed a striking difference with others? The answer was probably short, which lies in every child and Link on how to learn the physics can be used every child is different.
Therefore, you need for a coaching to how to learn physics a simple from teacher at school or counselor from any tutor. How do we find an effective method of learning physics, especially the students often find obstacles in the learning process effectively and efficiently? All must feel learning is synonymous with the expense or liability. But everything is not going to be like that if you use the physics coursework help. Assistance of a competent tutor will make it easier to learn. But the main thing is discipline in learning. Discipline does need to be applied in the study, such as the discipline of time and discipline to concentrate on the lesson. Given the nature of the discipline in yourself, you can bet that you do lessons can be effectively and efficiently. So, try it!
Facebook has to show more ads to make more money, right? Wrong. Or at least not necessarily. If it expands its new off-site ad network and Gifts ecommerce product, it could rely on its data, not its traffic, to grow its revenues. That would leave its site and apps uncluttered, designed to maximize enjoyment, the amount we share, and our feeling of connection instead of page views. You might say I'm a dreamer...
Computer terminology can be one of the hardest things to wrap your head around. It?s can all seem like mumbo jumbo, with made-up or adopted words. Some of the more confusing terminology comes from programs and software with harmful intent. Is the program infecting your computer a Trojan horse, worm or malware though? It can be hard to differentiate them sometimes.
Here?s an overview of the most commonly used terms for malicious software.
Malware ? Malware is a portmanteau of malicious and software. When we, or any other IT professional, talks about malware, we are generally speaking about any software that is designed to steal information, disrupt operations or gain access to a computer or network. In tech, and indeed many news articles, malware is used as a general term. It can also be referred to in legal circles as a ?computer contaminant?.
Virus - A virus is a malicious code that is spread from one computer to another. Computer viruses are usually introduced to a system by a user downloading and opening an infected file. They can also be spread by removable hard drives, if an infected file is put onto a drive which is then plugged into a new computer and opened. For malicious software to be labeled as a virus, it has to be spread through human action, usually in the form of the user unknowingly opening an infected file.
Trojan horse ? A Trojan horse takes its name from the Greek story where a wooden horse was used to hide Greek soldiers who secretly entered Troy. In a similar way this computer virus is a program that is disguised as a useful program that when installed will do damage to your system. The severity of a Trojan horse varies from annoying to completely destructive, and while they are malicious, they will not replicate or transfer to other computers. Many modern Trojan horse programs also contain a backdoor (more on that below).
Worm ? Worms are similar to a virus. In fact, many experts consider a worm to be a subclass of virus. Worms, like viruses, spread from computer to computer; the major difference being that worms can spread themselves. Computer worms also have the ability to replicate on a host system and send these copies to other users. The most common way of transmission is through email, or via a company?s network, often causing computers to run slowly while using a ton of bandwidth, ultimately leading to a system crash.
Spyware ? Spyware is a malware program that captures user activity and information without the user?s knowledge or consent. Some can even go so far as to capture every single keystroke a user makes ? this is commonly known as a keylogger. Spyware infects computers either through user deception (i.e., ?You?ve won 1,000,000,000 dollars? ads) or through exploits in programs. Some spyware has been known to redirect users to websites or even change computer settings.
Adware ? The main purpose of adware is to show ads and gain the hacker ad revenue. These ads can be pop-ups, extra banners added to web browsers, or ads shown during the installation of third party software. While generally not a form of malicious software on its own, it can, and often does, come with spyware.
Rootkit ? Rootkits are all about stealth. When installed they hide themselves from detection while allowing an unauthorized user to access and control your computer. Nine times out of ten, the unauthorized user will have full administrative access, which means that if they were malicious enough, they could really do some damage.
Backdoor ? Backdoors are similar to Rootkits, in that they allow an unauthorized user to access your computer. Many Trojan horses install a backdoor for the hacker to access and remotely control your system.
Bug - Some users think that a bug in software is a form of malware, placed there by the developer to ruin the program or a system. In fact, bugs aren?t malware, they are an error or fault in the software?s code. It?s true that hackers have exploited bugs to infect systems, but the bug was the way in, not the malicious software itself.
In the early days of the Internet, viruses were often installed separately from Trojans and worms. With the rising complexity and effectiveness of malware prevention software, hackers have started to blend their attacks together, often using a combination of one or more types of malicious software to infect systems. These combination malware infections are normally complex, but have been incredibly effective.
While malware is usually malicious towards single users, a new form of warfare that utilizes malware has arisen. Cyberwarfare is rumored to have been used by governments and companies to steal information or completely disrupt a countries information networks. While most Cyberwarfare is conducted at the country or conglomerate organization level, it is only a matter of time before small to medium companies are targeted.
Tools like Microsoft?s Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET), which is meant to fix bugs in Internet explorer, as well as strong anti-virus measures, timely virus scans and an efficient Internet use policy will go a long way toward preventing malware from infecting your computers. If you?re worried about the security of your computers and network, please give us a shout, we may have a solution for you.

How tribal courts can end warPublic release date: 27-Sep-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Traditions stem gunfire after 4,800 die in Enga, Papua New Guinea
SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 27, 2012 Mostly isolated from outsiders until the 1950s, Papua New Guinea's Enga tribes fought with bows and arrows until 1990, when their young people and mercenary "Rambos" began using shotguns and semiautomatic rifles, igniting 20 years of warfare that killed 4,816 people.
Wars diminished among some 110 Enga tribes when they tired of bloodshed and economic chaos. Clan and church leaders restored peace using traditional indigenous institutions: outdoor village courts sanctioned by the state, University of Utah anthropologist Polly Wiessner reports in the Sept. 28 issue of the journal Science.
The University of Utah and the Enga Provincial Government funded the study.
From 1991 through 2010, about 500 wars among tribal clans killed about 1 percent of the 400,000 to 500,000 Enga people. Chaos reigned. "Missions and high schools were burned, entire valleys vacated, thousands became refugees and government services and development were disrupted," Wiessner says.
But starting in 2005, "the number of deaths and the duration of wars declined steadily; by 2010 and 2011, few wars were fought in Enga," says the study by Wiessner and Nitze Pupu, a blind Enga law school graduate. "Social technology from generations past was adapted to contain the impact of adopted modern technology. New institutions build on former rules, norms and values; history matters."
Village court magistrates don't focus on punishment but on restitution or "restorative justice," usually in the form of pigs. They send a quarter of combatants home to "drink Coca Cola" and make peace, which replaced a tradition of chewing sugar cane, say Wiessner and Pupu, of the Enga Tradition and Transition Center in Wabag.
Wiessner says the study shows that using indigenous means of local conflict resolution may be better for a government like Papua New Guinea's than imposing Western law.
"The Enga case provides a rare opportunity to examine the construction and adaptation of institutions to promote peace, as well as quantitative measures of their effectiveness," Wiessner and Pupu write.
"Their system is built on restoring respect, accepting liability and responsibility, and paying compensation," says Wiessner, who has studied the Enga since 1985. The Western judicial system "is for a broader anonymous society. Our system is effective for taking offenders out of circulation which theirs isn't but often the offender doesn't accept responsibility or compensate, so the victim gets nothing."
The Better Angels of an Indigenous Society
Harvard University psychologist Steven Pinker contends in his book, "The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined," that human societies began in violent anarchy and grew less violent over time.
"Our study shows that small-scale societies had effective means of conflict resolution and peace-making unlike what many people, including Pinker, argue for pre-state societies," says Wiessner. "Extreme violence came when traditional, small-scale, face-to-face societies evolved into larger-scale, anonymous societies where people didn't know each other anymore. I'm not saying Pinker is wrong, but the Enga show there can be great variation in different simple societies' effectiveness in controlling violence."
In the study, Wiessner defines a war a bit differently than the conventional idea of a large-scale conflict between nations. Enga wars are "organized armed conflicts between political communities, in which the ends were defined by peace agreements." These wars were fought by clans with 350 to 1,000 members. Each tribe has six or seven clans.
The study shows that during 1991-2010, Enga clans fought 500 wars that claimed 4,816 lives. And while the number of wars increased until about 2009, Wiessner's data show that after the elders and tribal courts stepped in, the wars were stopped earlier and with fewer deaths.
Comparing 1991-95 with the period 2006-10, the proportion of wars with 51 to 300 deaths fell from 9 percent to 1 percent, and the proportion of wars with one to five deaths rose from 23 percent to 74 percent, indicating conflicts were halted earlier.
Average deaths per war rose from a mean of 3.7 in pre-colonial times to 19 during 1991-95, and fell to 17 during 1996-2000, 10 during 2001-05 and five during 2006-2010.
A History of Peace and Violence
About 350 years ago, local traders introduced the sweet potato to the Enga, allowing pigs to be fed and raised in surplus for trading. People moved to fertile areas, and these population shifts led to raging wars. The Enga considered wars a last resort to avenge insult or injury, display strength or re-establish a balance of power.
To quell violence, the Enga in about 1850 began to pay compensation pigs and other valuables to make peace with enemies, boost a clan's reputation and re-establish the balance of power, the researchers say. New indigenous, religious ceremonies arose to instill discipline in young men, honor ancestors and unite tribes.
"Massive exchange networks called Tee [pronounced 'tay'] grew up before contact with Europeans, involving 60,000 people and the exchange of hundreds of thousands of pigs," Wiessner says. "Pigs were the currency. As exchange networks grew 150 to 200 years ago, people without European contact created indigenous ways of making peace so exchange could flourish."
Australian colonial rule began in the 1950s. Armed administrators kept peace. Enga traditions waned. The last great ceremonial Tee exchange was in 1978-79. A few years before Papua New Guinea gained independence in 1975, "warfare resurged as social inequities grew," the study says.
"People get into a brawl, or someone steals a pig, rapes a women or kills someone, and the clan must show that it has the strength to defend itself," says Wiessner.
In 1974, the Village Court Act set up a state-sanctioned system separate from formal government courts. Local leaders were elected magistrates with little government training or direction. They were told to apply "custom" to achieve justice and harmony.
A village court branch named Operation Mekim Save or OMS was set up in 1982 to settle tribal wars via arbitration by village court magistrates. The Enga later established lower-level "worry courts," where one or two leaders mediate a dispute on the spot.
Discontent simmered through the 1980s, but wars involved bows and arrows and fewer casualties. "I used to take my lunch up a hill and watch a war," Wiessner recalls. "It was almost like a football game."
Then, "in 1990, guns, formerly rejected in warfare to avoid carnage, were adopted by some hot-headed youths to the dismay of the majority, igniting an arms race," the study says. "High-powered rifles were obtained from businessmen and politicians or 'acquired' via the police and army. Ambushes and raids, executed outside the control of elder clan leaders and OMS [courts] replaced pitched battles. Warring clans employed mercenaries skilled in the use of semiautomatic weapons, called 'Rambos' or 'hiremen.'"
Wiessner recalls an elder telling her that he tried to settle a conflict as he had in the past, "and the young bucks came up to him with their high-powered weapons and said, 'Get out of here, old man. Your day has come and gone.'"
The Road to Peace
Wars raged during 1990-2005, "and then for the last five years [2006-10] you get a reduced number of deaths per war, indicating people were fed up and stopping wars early," she says. Few wars were fought by 2010-11 as the village courts regained control.
"Three core ingredients turned the Enga to peace," says Wiessner. "One: economic exhaustion. People were driven off their land and totally exhausted with war. They could see it was unproductive."
"Second: When this point was reached, traditional village courts practiced indigenous law to solve problems," says Wiessner. "Unlike formal Western-based justice systems, village courts satisfy community needs: They restore relations by mediation and material compensation, and consider local politics and future relationships."
"Third: Most Enga people consider themselves Christians. Christianity hasn't stopped wars, but when people didn't want to fight anymore, they went to village courts, and backed that up with Christianity as an ideology for peace, as they did with their own traditions in the past. Christian festivities pave the emotional landscape for peace."
Village courts "made it possible to control the wave of violence after the adoption of guns in a way that neither the colonial powers nor state could manage," says Wiessner.
The study found that only 10 percent of cases in state District Courts result in a fine or jail, while the rest are dismissed when witnesses don't appear or are withdrawn and taken to intertribal court. There, 98 percent of cases result in a compensation order, a mediated compensation settlement or an agreement to negotiate and settle out of court.
An Uncertain Future
If natural resources and foreign aid are applied to development, the Enga "will have more to lose and may continue to turn away from war," Wiessner and Pupu write.
But they also cite a "burgeoning population of discontented youths" and political conflict over natural resource exploitation by multinational corporations, and they add that "a new round of warfare could erupt over the politics of tangible resources." And as Enga society grows, clan members may be less likely to make compensation payments on behalf of kinsmen they barely know.
"If this happens, local institutions founded on principles of kinship, respect and restorative justice will not suffice, and the Enga may find themselves in another cycle of violence as the scale of their society increases," Wiessner and Pupu conclude.

Nonprofit groups that the late New York philanthropist Brooke Astor supported will receive $18.8-million from this week?s sale of some 900 items from her two homes, more than double the expected take, writes the Associated Press.
Auction house Sotheby?s had estimated the collection of furnishings, paintings, jewelry, and other objects would fetch $6-million to $9-million during the two-day sale concluded Tuesday evening.
Proceeds will benefit the New York Public Library and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among other institutions and charities, under a deal reached by the New York attorney general?s office to settle a bitter dispute over Ms. Astor?s estate.
The longtime doyenne of New York society died in 2007 at the age of 105, suffering from dementia. Her son, Anthony Marshall was convicted in 2009 of exploiting Ms. Astor?s condition to secure changes in her will that would gain him millions of dollars. He has appeal the conviction.

Do you know what's better than one interview with Stephen Elop? Two interviews in one month. We'd barely recovered from yesterday's bout of nostalgia when we were given the opportunity to sit down with Nokia's CEO in his office at Nokia House. Better yet, we were allowed to record the discussion with a hand-held Lumia 920 prototype. The resulting video is remarkably stable. Full disclosure: the audio was recorded with a shotgun mic mounted on a Sony NEX-C3 camera.
We talked about HTC's colorful "signature" Windows Phone 8X and 8S and what that means for the Nokia-Microsoft partnership.

NEW YORK (AP) ? School kids sang "Happy Birthday" and Scholastic unfurled a huge banner worthy of a big red dog from the roof of its headquarters Monday to fete Clifford, the beloved book and TV character, for his 50 years of nudging kids to read.
His creator, 84-year-old Norman Bridwell, took questions from a few dozen first- and second-graders during a webcast beamed live into more than 5,000 classrooms around the country from the party held outside the downtown building as tourists snapped photos from atop open-air double-decker buses stuck in traffic.
And Bridwell's real-life daughter, the all-grown-up Emily Elizabeth, spoke to reporters of her special place in publishing history as the inspiration for the perky, blond girl who shares her life ? and 90 books worth of adventures ? with the gawky, big-hearted Clifford.
She was just a year old when her father, a struggling artist from Indiana, and his wife, aptly named Norma, were trying to eke out a living in New York. It wasn't going well when Norma suggested he try his hand at illustrating children's books.
Norma came up with the name Clifford, based on an imaginary friend she had as a girl.
But Bridwell's 10 paintings for kids were roundly rejected. One staffer at a publisher told him if he wanted to work on children's books, he'd have to write one of his own.
His story eventually landed at Scholastic at a time the company was just starting in the trade fiction market. Clifford is now one of Scholastic's most successful endeavors, with more than 126 million copies in print in 13 languages, a TV show and a multitude of products.
"I remember my mother was visiting from Indiana," Bridwell said, lounging in a chair and munching some fruit after the festivities.
"The baby had been crying all night and this woman called from Scholastic and said we've got this book here, 'Clifford the Big Red Dog.' We'd like to publish it. I never expected it to be accepted. My wife said after the first book, 'Well, you could do more of these,' and I said, 'Don't count on it. This is just a fluke.'"
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is a fan. He declared Monday as Clifford the Big Red Dog Day, though he wasn't on hand for the party.
Bridwell, who lives on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, had a simple vision when he dreamed up Clifford: He wanted to write about a dog as big as a horse. What he wound up with is a dog bigger than a house who shared some of the characteristics of kids. Clifford happens to be red because that's the color of the jar of paint Bridwell had nearby.
"I don't really understand it," he said of Clifford's enduring nature. "Whether it's his color, or if it's the fact that he's clumsy, like a lot of kids are clumsy. And a lot of kids would like to be forgiven for their mistakes, and Emily always forgives him when he makes a mistake."
Bridwell had no particular teachable moment in mind. He just wanted to entertain kids. Later, Scholastic gave Clifford "10 Big Ideas" that include matters of human and dog decency: sharing, respect, believing in oneself and helping others among them.
"I said to my editor, I think after about the second or third book, 'Maybe I should be putting messages into this.' And she said, 'Well you're not a message person. Just give them something that's fun to read."
At the time, 1962, recalled Norma, paperback children's books weren't so easy to find, and "a lot of kids couldn't have books because they were too expensive."
For her part, the 51-year-old Emily Elizabeth of Carlisle, Mass., cites Clifford as part of the reason she became a preschool teacher.
"As I got older and as I started to meet parents who really loved the books, they would express to me how much they meant to their family and how much they meant to their children. Then I started to realize it was something special."
Bridwell's granddaughter, 17-year-old Alissa, also attended the party. She thought the Clifford stories were just for her growing up.
"I didn't get that everybody else had them, too," she said. "I thought it was just this special thing between me and my grandpa."

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman sharply rejected Egypt?s demand to revise the military clauses of its 1979 peace pact with Israel. ?There is no chance of any change,? he said in a radio interview Sunday. Friday, an Israeli soldier was killed and a second injured fighting off a terrorist incursion from Egyptian Sinai. Regarding Cairo?s demand to open up the peace pact to permit higher levels of Egyptian military strength in Sinai, Lieberman noted that Egyptian troop and heavy weapons limits have already been mutually waived to fight off mounting Islamist and terrorist attacks on Egyptian and Israeli targets.
?The problem,? the foreign minister stressed, ?is not the size of the forces but their willingness to fight, bring pressure to bear and do the job.?

Computer terminology can be one of the hardest things to wrap your head around. It?s can all seem like mumbo jumbo, with made-up or adopted words. Some of the more confusing terminology comes from programs and software with harmful intent. Is the program infecting your computer a Trojan horse, worm or malware though? It can be hard to differentiate them sometimes.
