There’s something about writing on the Yijing – it’s not like other books, that just sit there mutely and allow themselves to be translated. I think people who’ve worked through the hexagram-by-hexagram threads over the years have had similar experiences, as the line of the day just happens to show up in their experience. There was the time I was dithering over the name of Hexagram 8, and asked Yi about maybe changing it from the name I’d been using for years.
Before we get to the stats, I should mention that at the top of my thankful-for list this Thanksgiving was our growing group of Automatticians.

Network penetration testing is required for vulnerability assessment of the network
A penetration test is also known as “ethical hacking”, a security tool that provides vulnerability assessment of a network. By actively deploying attacks and penetration efforts against your network, it uncovers the vulnerabilities and threats in your security and pre-empts attacks on the perimeter defences
So, Google Goggles is now in beta in Google Labs and available on Android phones. Humorous name aside, the product looks to be a huge leap forward in the field of visual search — by which I mean, you point a camera at something and Google figures out what it is. Here’s a little video explanation
The mountains across Kimbe Bay were on fire; perhaps it was the jet lag. Neither fire nor jet lag is the correct answer, I found as I rubbed my eyes more. It was just the perfect mix of rising sun, blue sea and towering mountains; a repeat performance happened the next day, New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea was the perfect place to begin my sojourn.
Visiting Free Ukraine: A Journey Through the Shadows of History
“There is a parable of Western Ukraine about a man who was born in Austria, educated in Poland, who went to war in Ukraine, fled to Germany and was executed in the Soviet Union, and he did it all without ever leaving his village.” It’s difficult to write about Ukraine without writing about history, and it’s difficult to write about Ukrainian history and still leave room for anything else. I want to write a travel essay.

As per the normal process of elevation of judges to

Hexagram 14, Great Possession, says at line 4, 匪其彭。无咎。 - Not your (or its) peng , no mistake. Peng means power and dominance – Wu Jing Nuan translates with his usual succinctness, ‘Not his to be strong’ - and the old character shows a drum with three strokes next to it, perhaps representing the sound of the drum in the air. So what is this thing not to do, be or have, and why would we imagine that to be a mistake?

Update Your Status on Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin with One Application
Sometimes it can be cumbersome to update your status on Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin by having to visit the individual sites. Your readers want to stay connected to you in various ways and some prefer different outlets. You have to make sure that if you create a social media stream for your users to follow you, then you need to continue to use it so you don’t lose your reader’s interest. I am a part-time blogger since I am also a full-time stay at home mom and involved in various organizations. Even though I am considered a “stay at home mom,” it seems like we are never at home! So staying connected in different outlets took a lot effort, but not any longer with HootSuite .

When sources disagree: borders and place names in Google Earth and Maps
Posted by Bob Boorstin, Director, Public Policy Team Collecting and sharing the most accurate information about place names and borders is a tough task that every map maker faces. The first sources are the nations themselves, but when neighboring countries claim overlapping territories and conflicting place names, even showing the dispute on a map may be prohibited by local law.
What I Didn’t Learn In Business School I Learned From Improvisation Instructors
Well I suppose technically speaking I learned this as part of instructional and experiential sessions at the UCLA Anderson School of Management and Duke's Fuqua School of Business, but I didn't pick up improvisation instruction at the Chicago Booth School of business more than a decade ago when I first got my MBA (side note: a cohesive mix of business theory and improv training definitely would have been good for prepping the cohorted classes). Without getting technical and being too precise, what does improvisation mean to me (apologies to my mentors for cutting corners)?
Dead Goat Polo may not be the most charming name for a sport, but it certainly does what it says on the tin. Raiding and kidnapping the neighbouring village may no longer be as acceptable as it once was (though bride-napping remains in vogue), but in its place the Kyrgyz have a surrogate pastime that offers the same outlet for aggression and a similar showcase for horsemanship

The logo for the 2014 Winter Olympics, to be held in Sochi, Russia, was unveiled yesterday , becoming the first Olympic emblem to feature a web address—Sochi2014.ru—as organisers target the digital generation. Here’s Sochi’s 2014 Olympic bid logo (thanks, Martin ) , ditched in favour of necessarily replaced by the official Olympic logo (hat-tip, Armando )
NPR has a short, but interesting story on the use of mobile devices by young people. Citing research by the Pew Internet and American Life Project , the story states that in regards to “robust” uses of mobile devices, “most of those hyperusers are young Latinos and blacks.” Chart from NPR , source data from Pew Internet and American Life Project, refers to above uses on mobile devices only Now, the story is certainly not saying that the digital divide is no longer an issue, but it does bring up some interesting points. It attributes the higher and more sophisticated use of mobile devices among Latinos and blacks to four factors: Networking teens that spread the use to older members of their ethnic group (happens in all ethnic groups, but faster among blacks and Latinos, perhaps due to the relatively higher proportion of young people) Cheaper than a home connection (mobile upgrade cheaper than buying a computer and broadband) Communication across borders (easier on both sides) Convenience (the phone is always there, always gets a signal, no need to worry about wifi or battery) I see some similarities to the cell phone versus landline access in countries like China and India, where lots of folks have gone straight from no phone to cell phone, skipping the landline phase
Posted by Josh Cohen, Senior Business Product Manager For the next two days, the Federal Trade Commission will explore a subject that’s central to democracy: the future of news. I’ll be representing Google at the event, which the commission is calling “From Town Criers to Bloggers: How Will Journalism Survive the Digital Age?” We’re an optimistic company, so maybe it’s no surprise that we believe journalism will not only survive, but thrive on the Internet.
Well… maybe not ban them exactly. Yes, the title of this post is deliberately provocative and overstates my argument, for which I apologise. Nevertheless it’s true that, in many cases, activators would be better written as Declarative Services (DS) components.
Somebody just asked: “Are there any financial charges for using your site for Rondee conference calls?” We do not charge for our basic service (calls to 619-276-6333) and your carrier treats these calls just like they would treat any other call you make to this San Diego area-code.

An online home for all: a luxury or basic infrastructure?
While millions of Indians are homeless and do not have access to electricity, not to mention, internet; I was recently fascinated with this news form Turkey wherein Turkish Government plans to have their own search engine and to provide a unique mail address (and 10 gb storage) to each of its more than 70 million citizens. The project is codenamed ‘Anaposta’. Under this project, all of our 70 million citizens will be given an e-mail address with a quota of 10 gigabytes
