Island League champions celebrate – Table Tennis England
It was once again the Ryde C team who (unsurprisingly) won the island’s Division One Winter League. They easily retained the trophy, 39 points clear of runners-up Ryde A, who were Winter League champions two years ago. Ryde C also won the Knowles Cup, the island’s premier knockout trophy. It is a strong, formidable team that seems to be going from strength to strength.
Island tournament leads to final man versus woman
The recent Brian Warne tournament on the Isle of Wight resulted in a male-female showdown in the final. Tim Giles reached the final alongside promising young player Ollie Lewis, while Tim's wife Bev, along with Bryce Wilson, also reached the final. This is an unusual but interesting tournament, where players team up for doubles based on their rating, with the highest ranked player being the lowest, the second highest with the second lowest and so on.
School team champions crowned on Isle of Wight
The annual Isle of Wight Schools Tournament took place in mid-November, in which a number of enthusiastic children took part. This was the case at the Primary Schools eventNieuwkerke School(pictured above) who won the event by 25 points, retaining the trophy they won last year. Gatton and Lake Schoolcame second with 20 points andSummerfields Schoolfinished third with 18 points.
LNG: Powering progress today and tomorrow
If you’re like me, you’ve probably heard a lot of talk about the future of energy — what it could look like and what it should look like. But the future isn’t something we wait for. It’s something we build. And at ExxonMobil, we’re building it with liquefied natural gas (LNG). So, what does LNG mean to the broader energy landscape? Let’s take a look. Meeting the world’s growing energy needs The world’s population is growing, and fast.
Two trends take cyber threats to new level
The new frontier for cyber security is that there is no frontier − the concept itself is outmoded. CIOs and CISOs need to come to terms with the fact that they must protect a vastly expanded attack surface that exists in a threat landscape of exceptional complexity and in a state of constant flux. On the plus side, though, human ingenuity responds superbly to challenges. However, to be ingenious, we first need to understand the nature of the challenges.
The Atheist Movement Has One Job
homas Sheedy, founder of Atheists for Liberty, recently joined me for a discussion about the future of the atheist movement. It makes for an interesting topic, given that atheism is defined by a lack of a belief in something rather than an affirmative set of beliefs. But I get it: Atheists tend to view religious beliefs as harmful to individuals and society, so they advocate against people following such beliefs.

Coping with life in the wild
In my previous article, I argued that disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) was making it possible and affordable for a much wider range of organisations to recover from a catastrophic event, be it a cyber attack, a fire or other incident that makes it impossible for normal business premises to be used.
The new way to do disaster recovery
The cloud model has put a large and growing range of products and services within reach of virtually any kind of organisation. As cloud offerings have matured, single ticket items have been complemented with much more complex services. It's now possible to purchase quite complex things − such as platforms, for example − from the cloud quite easily.

By Peter Clarke, eeNewsAnalog (May 3, 2022) Following ARM’s announcement that it had ousted Allen Wu as CEO of its China subsidiary ARM China staff have posted an open letter on the subsidiaries website opposing the change. On April 29 processor intellectual property licensor ARM Ltd., Hopu Investment, and SoftBank Group, the principal shareholders in ARM China, announced that Renchen Liu and Eric Chen had been appointed as co-CEOs replacing Allen Wu who they had attempted to sack in June 2020.

A curvaceous home inspired by its Mornington Peninsula location
Tracing the contours of the natural landforms, this curvaceous home harmonises perfectly with its surrounds. Nov 15, 2021 10:20pm Positioned on a wild outcrop of the Mornington Peninsula, this home's sublime natural setting is matched by the monumentality of its built form. So, when it came to the interiors, Miriam Fanning of Mim Design summoned something equally epic.
Reports: ARM China makes independent move in autonomous driving
By Peter Clarke, eeNews (August 30, 2021) ARM Technology China Co. Ltd., the controversial minority-owned subsidiary of semiconductor intellectual property licensor ARM Ltd. (Cambridge, England), has launched its own foray into autonomous driving, according to reports. The company, which is at the centre of a long-running row with its parent, SoftBank Group-backed ARM Ltd., held a launch event on Thursday August 26, the reports state.
Networking: It’s all about the business case
Deciding on the type of network technology and typology has always been important but, in today’s connected world, it’s become business-critical. As we all saw when the first lockdown hit us, the ability of a company’s network to adapt rapidly to a work-from-home workforce actually spelled out the difference between staying in business and closing for the duration.
Don’t drive your Ferrari down a dirt road
I’m as sympathetic as the next guy to the thrill of driving a Porsche or similar vehicle, but it always surprises me that anyone ever buys one in South Africa. Apart from the eye-watering price tag, our roads put a low-slung, high-performance vehicle at considerable risk, and hardly provide the environment that allows the car to show off its paces. The same point could be made about a company’s network.
Don’t ‘Kill the Bill’
Are the rights of protesters and the rights of all other citizens fairly balanced? Think back to the Extinction Rebellion protests of April 2019, when climate activists chose to ‘peacefully occupy the centres of power and shut them down’, as they put it, including the heart of London. The protests, organised globally, were perhaps the most disruptive in history. A small number of people managed to stop hundreds of thousands more going about their daily lives.
Plans start for TSMC 2nm fab
Taiwan's Ministry of Science and Technology has discussed environmental issues around a proposed expansion of TSMC's Hsinchu operations to house a 2nm wafer fab. The details of the meeting held online were reported by Taiwan's Commercial Times. The Hsinchu Science Park Baoshan Land Expansion Project Phase II is considering the environmental impact and mitigation activities for an expansion of Baoshon to provide for expansion of TSMC's 2nm manufacturing capacity.

Will California Ever Again Embrace Nuclear Energy?
“Stand Up For Nuclear” Rally in San Francisco | September 19, 2020 California’s tech industry has long faced criticism for emphasizing vapid innovations that ultimately bring harm to society. In 2011, data scientist Jeff Hammerbacher observed, “The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads.” The ethos of this criticism can be applied to other California-centric industries, including the film industry, the music industry, and the weed industry.
Automation requires upskilling as much of the workforce as possible
Approaches to automation may vary but the general consensus is that it is a powerful business enabler that was pioneered by IT departments and is a formidable trend across the entire business process landscape. The IDC describes three best practices for deploying intelligent automation. It recommends devising an enterprise strategy for automation to build a foundation for deployment at scale.
ST keeps working despite Italian 'lockdown'
On Monday March 9 ST issued a statement that said it is complying with containment measures being implemented by the Italian government over the outbreak of Covid-19 coronavirus but that these do not require the closure of any ST site in Italy. Northern Italy is the worst-hit region in Europe with latest figures on Tuesday March 10 showing Italy has 9,172 cases and 463 deaths. The Italian government has implemented a series of restrictive measures to try and limit the spread of the disease.

TROPHY #JAILBAIT
"Greetings from the fair!” Picture of us holding ice cream cones kneeling down next to a goat named Edgar. After posting this, a lot of things started happening. “I’m taking the goat,” said Missy. “You’re drunk!” I laughed. I was trying to find my wife; she was trying to find her parents. I was drunk, too, and wanted to run off with her. I might have said this out loud. Trumpets and trombones drowned out everything for a second. Couldn’t tell where from. Behind the cows?
Food: Meal Delivery Services That Make Healthy Eating Easy
Home>#INSCMagazine>Food: Meal Delivery Services That Make Healthy Eating Easy 19 Sep 2019 INSCMagazine: Get Social! Post Views: 1 When we think of having food delivered to our home, we think of fast foods and cheap Chinese takeout.

And these companies have been really catching on in the last few years.
Hanging Out With Kurt Cobain in San Francisco
What it was like sharing a pitcher of beer with an icon in Potrero Hill When I picture Kurt Cobain, I imagine him bumming around the bleak logging towns in Grays Harbor, Washington (where he and I grew up), and hanging out in dive bars in Olympia and Seattle. I have a harder time picturing him in sunny San Francisco but know that he hung out here often, playing shows with local bands and talking about Kerouac and Burroughs with Bay Area creatives.

Virtual Reality Will Spark a Twenty-First Century Decadent Movement
On 20 February, 2019, Jak Wilmot put on a VR headset and didn’t take it off for an entire week. He ate, slept, worked and played in VR, and even created a special contraption that allowed him to shower without removing the headset. His week-long adventures in virtual reality were live-streamed and compiled into a short documentary now available on YouTube: “I spent a week in a VR headset, here’s what happened.” So—what happened? The results were fairly anticlimactic.
Postmodernism Has Forgotten How to Laugh
Pataphysics and the hilarity of humorless academics By all accounts, postmodernism is charting new territory in the world of high-brow comedy. Serious academics have unwittingly become outrageous, laugh-till-you-cry satirists. Scholarly journals have morphed into esoteric, bizarro-world sister publications to Mad Magazine and The Onion.
Peter Clarke reviews ‘A.J.P. Taylor’ by Adam Sisman, ‘A.J.P. Taylor’ by Robert Cole and ‘From Napoleon to the Second International’ by A.J.P. Taylor, edited by Chris Wrigley · LRB 27 January 1994
‘Writing history is like W.C. Fields juggling,’ was how he put it. ‘It looks easy until you try to do it.’ In 1977, when this comment was first published, some younger readers may have asked themselves: W.C. Who? Typically, this was not a forced, would-be trendy allusion to current vogues of popular culture in the electronic media but an authentically personal image, implicitly framed in nostalgia.
Involuntary Technological Encroachment
FindLaw columnist Eric Sinrod writes regularly in this section on legal developments surrounding technology and the internet. Once upon a time, the advent of the radio was considered a major advancement, and families in the evenings would huddle together and listen to favorite radio shows. Not that much later, television became the big thing. And with TV, it was easy to sit passively by as a couch potato watching one show after another.
Transhumanism and the Death of Human Exceptionalism
Ronda Churchill/AP Images for Warner Bros. Consumer Products Every few decades, a new ism comes along that many people see as a threat to the bedrock principles of Western civilization. Communism was one of the big ones, and led to years of widespread hysteria during the Red Scare. In the 80s, a similar panic arose when evangelical Christians became convinced that a secret network of Satanists controlled secular society.

New Law Could Allow for Phone Searches After Car Crashes
FindLaw columnist Eric Sinrod writes regularly in this section on legal developments surrounding technology and the internet. For many decades, Americans have taken to the roads to get from one place to another. And, in more recent times, Americans have become addicted to their smartphones -- texting, posting, online searching, making purchases, among many other uses of their devices. Put the two together, driving and smartphone use, and there is a clear recipe for potential disaster.
Will California Consumers Share in Wealth From Their Online Data?
FindLaw columnist Eric Sinrod writes regularly in this section on legal developments surrounding technology and the internet. Technology companies collect all sorts of data on their users. The terms of service located on their web sites spell out for users the types of data collected and how that data will be used. The data collected from users is extremely useful for tech companies in terms of how to market to them further, and accordingly, that data has tremendous economic value.
Startup preps automatic-focus eye glasses
February 19, 2019 // By Peter Clarke The company has presented electronic spectacles at the Mido trade fair in Milan, with which, by pressing a button on the frame, the user can switch between near or distance vision. Such glasses could be a replacement for glasses with bifocal or multifocal lenses and a boon to people with presbyopia, the normal age-related loss of near focusing that affects nearly all people older than 45.
Internet Companies Must Take Down Anti-Government Content in Vietnam
FindLaw columnist Eric Sinrod writes regularly in this section on legal developments surrounding technology and the internet. Question: How free is the internet? Answer: Less than free in certain countries. Further answer: And becoming even less free in other countries -- witness Vietnam, discussed briefly below.

Online Gambling Potentially Impacted by New Justice Department Opinion
FindLaw columnist Eric Sinrod writes regularly in this section on legal developments surrounding technology and the internet. The Wire Act was enacted in 1961. That statute makes it a criminal offense to transmit information that seeks to promote interstate or foreign wagering. Fast-forward to September, 2011: the Obama-era Justice Department rendered an opinion that only sports betting came with the ambit of the Wire Act.
Amazon Sales Through The Roof This Holiday Season
FindLaw columnist Eric Sinrod writes regularly in this section on legal developments surrounding technology and the internet. Once upon a time less than 20 years ago, there was concern that people would not trust providing their credit card information to make online purchases. Indeed, there was a question as to whether people would take the plunge and order holiday presents online. My, how times have changed! Amazon started out by selling books online.

Emailgate -- Here We Go Again!
FindLaw columnist Eric Sinrod writes regularly in this section on legal developments surrounding technology and the internet. Long before votes were cast for the 2016 Presidential election, this blogger discussed how Hillary Clinton's government-related emails that were sent and received on private servers could become a thorn in her political side. Why? Because government records must be maintained as government records so, among other reasons, they can be open and available to public review.
OpenCores rides again in the RISC-V era
With the emergence of RISC-V in 2016 and 2017 open source hardware became a hot topic once again and a startup called Oliscience BV (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) was formed in 2017 to look after the OpenCores website and community. As a result, OpenCores, which was originally founded in 1999, is embarking on its third phase of ownership and is planning to emerge from a quiet period that lasted for several years.
Do Atheists Have Any Sacred Cows? – Arc Digital
Every religion has its share of sacred cows—beliefs and practices that reflect a given religion’s special respect for certain ideas, creatures, or things. Figuratively speaking, a sacred cow is a belief or custom that is beyond scrutiny. Even if you’ve never heard of Vishnu or Ganesha, you likely know that in Hinduism cows are sacred.
