6,589 images. 1 image every 3 seconds (depending on batteries &amp;amp; me noticing) I used Timelapsetool.com software v0.1.14

Original files were 2445x1442 &amp;amp; were compressed down 640x480.

I arrive at zipworld around 9:20, just before that is my previous Y/S footage &amp;amp; location.</description>

      <title>Iran unveils new mobile air defense system called &amp;quot;Herze 9&amp;quot;</title>

      <description>Iran unveils a new air defense system. 

On Monday Iran's Defense Ministry alongside the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Aerospace Force (IRGC AF) unveiled a domestically built mobile air defense system called &quot;Herze 9&quot;. Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi commented on this new achievement. 

&quot;Herze 9&quot; can identify and target enemy helicopters, rockets and fighter jets at low ranges and low altitudes of about 8-12 kilometers. This mobile air defense system uses the most technologically advanced computer hardware and software and the latest navigation system available today. Brig. Gen. Vahidi said Iran has produced this defense system, despite the recent wave of unilateral sanctions of the west against Iran. 

Iran's Defense Ministry and the IRGC AF future project is to build a domestic high range and high altitude air defense system, which experts believe to be one of the most difficult tasks in military defense.

      <title>Hass Associates Cyber Warning Tipsand Reviews - 2012 Cyber Crime </title>

      <description>Seven top cyber
safety measures for business

One in five Australian
businesses suffered an electronic breach or cyber attack in 2012. Most report
an average of two attacks a year. Companies put their own ability to
effectively secure their organisation at 4.5 out of 10. Australia is now 21st
in the most attacked nations list, up from 24th.

Statistics on the lack
of business cyber security and increase in cyber attacks abound. It's no wonder
experts continue to warn that poor security practices can compromise company
finances and put commercial and customer information in the wrong hands.

According to Australia's Computer Emergency
Response Team (CERT) 2012 Cyber Crime and Security Survey
Report in February, 20 per cent of Australian businesses were the subject of
hacking or other cyber-attacks last year.

The most serious
involved the use of malicious software including ransomware and scareware,
which extort payments for the return of data; trojan or rootkit malware, which
lodge in the company's systems to steal information; theft or breach of
confidential information; and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

In Operation Lino,
Australia's biggest investigation into compromised credit cards, it was found
that a Romanian criminal syndicate gained access to 500,000 Australian credit
cards, and about 30,000 credit cards were used for fraudulent transactions
amounting to more than $30 million.

&quot;Businesses were
compromised, where full control of their computers gave full access to
point-of-sale terminals, which gave access to details of all credit
cards,&quot; says Brad Marden, Australian Federal Police acting manager for
cyber crime operations.

According to the
Symantec Internet Security Threat Report released Tuesday, AUstralia
experienced an increase inthe level of cybercrime in 2012 and is now ranked
21st in the most targeted nations by cyber criminals.

Peter Sparkes,
Symantec's director for managed security services, said Australia's enthusiasm
for technology was partly the reason.

&quot;As a nation of early
adopters with a strong economy which uses technology to remain competitive,
Australia is turning out to be an attractive target for cybercriminals,&quot;
Sparkes said in a statement.

A study of 485
Australian technology and security professionals by the Ponemon Institute for
Juniper Networks released this week as part of a global survey, found
respondents rated their own organisation's security effectiveness as 4.5 out of
10. They rated their organisation's ability to quickly detect and prevent cyber
attacks also as poor at 4.4 and 4.6, respectively.

The report said the
issues that keep most IT and IT security practitioners up at night are
&quot;the theft of their organisation's intellectual property, including
research and development, business strategies and industrial processes&quot;;
and the theft of &quot;confidential information used to obtain authentication
credentials to infiltrate networks and enterprise systems&quot;.

But Marden says 85 per
cent of cyber intrusions can be prevented, and recommends adopting some of the
Australian government's Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) strategies. Security
vendors also offer similar advice.

Here are some of the
basic tips:

      <title>Darrell Issa - Car thief, arsonist, scam artist - now in charge of investigating President Obama </title>

      <description>.
.
 http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2...?currentPage=1 



highlights from the article:



...At 2:35 A.M. on September 7, 1982, the phone rang in Issa's house. 
The Quantum and Steal Stopper office and factory was on fire. Issa got 
dressed and drove the seven miles from his house, in Oakwood Village, to
 his workplace, in Maple Heights. He arrived by 3 A.M., to find blue 
flames shooting from holes in the roof. Four fire engines, a helicopter,
 and forty-three firefighters from three departments responded to the 
alarm. When the firemen entered the building, they encountered black 
smoke so thick they couldn't see their hands in front of their faces. 
The fire took three hours to bring under control...  (more on the fire 
later)



...A member of Issa's Army unit, Jay Bergey, told Williams that his most
 vivid recollection of the young Issa was that in December, 1971, Issa 
stole his car, a yellow Dodge Charger. &quot;I confronted Issa,&quot; Bergey said 
in 1998. &quot;I got in his face and threatened to kill him, and magically my
 car reappeared the next day, abandoned on the turnpike.&quot;



On March 15, 1972, three months after Issa allegedly stole Jay Bergey's 
car and one month after he left the Army for the first time, Ohio police
 arrested Issa and his older brother, William, and charged them with 
stealing a red Maserati from a Cleveland showroom.



According to court records, on December 28, 1979, William Issa arrived 
at Smythe European Motors, in San Jose, and offered to sell Darrell's 
car, a red 1976 Mercedes sedan. William was carrying an Ohio driver's 
license with his brother's name on it and the dealer gave William a 
check for sixteen thousand dollars, which he immediately cashed. Soon 
afterward, Darrell reported the car stolen from the Monterey airport. He
 later told the police that he had left the title in the trunk.



The brothers had been together in Cleveland for Christmas, and, after 
Darrell gave a series of conflicting statements about his brother and 
whether he himself had recently obtained a second driver's license, the 
investigator in the case became suspicious that the two men had 
conspired to fraudulently sell Darrell's car and then collect the 
insurance money.



The brothers were indicted for grand theft. Darrell argued that he had 
no knowledge of William's activities; William claimed that his brother 
had authorized him to sell the car, and he produced a document dated a 
few weeks before the robbery that gave him power of attorney over his 
brother's affairs. On February 15th, with the investigation ongoing, 
Darrell returned to the San Jose dealership and repurchased his car, for
 seventeen thousand dollars. In August, 1980, the prosecution dropped 
the case. Darrell insisted that he was a victim, not a criminal. William
 had produced evidence that he had the legal authority to sell the car, 
and the injured party was reimbursed...



....While the Maserati case was pending, Issa went to college. Just 
before 11 P.M. on Friday, December 1, 1972, two police officers on 
patrol in the small town of Adrian noticed Issa driving a yellow 
Volkswagen the wrong way down a one-way street. The police pulled him 
over, and, as Issa retrieved the car registration, an officer saw 
something peculiar in the glove compartment. He searched it, and, 
according to the police report, found a .25-calibre Colt automatic 
inside a box of ammunition, along with a &quot;military pouch&quot; that contained
 &quot;44 rounds of ammo and a tear gas gun and two rounds of ammo for it.&quot; 
Issa was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. The policeman asked 
why he was armed. &quot;He stated in Ohio you could carry a gun as long as 
you had a justifiable reason,&quot; the report said. &quot;His justifiable reason 
was for his car's protection and his.&quot; Issa pleaded guilty to the lesser
 charge of possession of an unregistered gun. He paid a small fine and 
was sentenced to six months' probation...



He started his car-alarm empire by acquiring the Steal Stopper brand in 
what was essentially a hostile takeover. A man named Joey B. Adkins 
owned the company, and Issa loaned him sixty thousand dollars. When 
Adkins was late on a payment, Issa went to court and foreclosed on the 
loan. Two days later, Adkins told me, Issa called and said that he 
wanted Adkins to come visit him at his new office. He gave Adkins the 
address of Steal Stopper. &quot;I just took your company,&quot; Adkins recalled 
him saying...



Once in control, Issa allegedly used an unusual method to fire Jack 
Frantz, an employee. Frantz told the Los Angeles Times that Issa came 
into his office, placed a box on the table, and opened it to reveal a 
gun. Issa told the paper, &quot;Shots were never fired. If I asked Jack to 
leave, then I think I had every right to ask Jack to leave. . . . I 
don't recall  . I really don't. I don't think I ever pulled
 a gun on anyone in my life.&quot;



Issa was soon suspected of doing something worse: burning down the 
factory. The initial notion that an electrical socket had caused the 
fire was challenged. The science of determining whether a fire was 
caused by arson can be flawed. But a fire-analysis report commissioned 
by the St. Paul insurance company, and dated October 19, 1982, a month 
after the incident, concluded that the fire was &quot;incendiary.&quot; The report
 cited &quot;suspicious burn patterns,&quot; such as &quot;two separate major areas of 
origin,&quot; and it said, &quot;No accidental source of heating power was located
 at either of these two major areas of origin.&quot; The manner in which 
stacks of cardboard boxes burned was inconsistent with an accidental 
fire. A flammable liquid appeared to have been poured over the boxes. 
The blue flames seen emanating from the roof were evidence, according to
 the investigators, of burning carbon monoxide that is produced when an 
accelerant like gasoline ignites. The black smoke was also a clue. &quot;Such
 black smoke normally occurs in a fire only when a hydrocarbon is 
burning,&quot; the report said. When investigators tested burn damage from 
inside the factory, they found &quot;the same identical mixture of flammable 
hydrocarbons&quot; in four samples taken from diverse locations.



St. Paul sought out background information on Issa and his companies. 
Investigators interviewed family members, bank officials, and former 
employees. They looked into Issa's court and credit records, mortgage 
documents, and other personal information.



Joey Adkins, the former owner of Steal Stopper, provided the main 
evidence against Issa. On the afternoon of September 20, 1982, in a 
lengthy recorded interview with an insurance investigator, he described a
 series of suspicious actions by Issa before the fire. Adkins, who still
 worked for Steal Stopper, said that Issa removed the company's Apple II
 computer from the building, including &quot;all hardware, all software, all 
the instruction books,&quot; and also &quot;the discs for accounts payable, 
accounts receivable, customer list, everything.&quot; According to Adkins, 
Issa also transferred a copy of every design used by Steal Stopper from a
 filing cabinet to a fireproof box. He also said that Issa put in the 
box some important silk screens used in the production of circuit 
boards. Insurance officials noted that, less than three weeks before the
 fire, Issa had increased his insurance from a hundred thousand dollars 
to four hundred and sixty-two thousand dollars. &quot;Quite frankly,&quot; Adkins 
told the investigator, &quot;I feel the man set the fire.&quot;...



...The insurance company, meanwhile, had found something peculiar about 
Issa, unrelated to the arson: there was no indication of where his 
initial capital came from. After interviewing a family member, an 
investigator reported, &quot;She was unable to advise us as to his financial 
banking   to become an officer in Quantum Inc.&quot; A second report 
noted, &quot;We were unable to find the source of his financing for the 
business ventures he is engaged in at the present time.&quot;...



...in 2003, Issa, who was now worth more than a hundred million dollars,
 funded the recall of the state's governor, Gray Davis. It was an 
ambitious project. Davis, who had been elected to a second term six 
months earlier, had not committed an impeachable offense; he simply had 
become unpopular. Issa planned to run for governor and replace Davis, 
but once again reporters started to look into his past. They took 
particular interest in the story of his brother stealing his car, and 
again questioned Issa's truthfulness...



&quot;Darrell's sensitive about fixating too much on his past,&quot; Bardella 
said. &quot;Obviously, the stuff that happened . . .&quot; His voice trailed off. 
&quot;We can talk about it, as well we should. It is part of his past, but it
 does make him somewhat wary.&quot;...





...I wanted to know about the troubles in his past: the gun conviction, 
the three allegations of car theft, the arson allegation, the allegation
 that he dismissed an employee while brandishing a gun, and the 
mysteries about his finances. These are matters he avoids discussing at 
length with the press, and, as we got into the details, he joked that it
 might be less painful if I would &quot;just twiddle the toes.&quot;



Issa seemed tired of defending himself from these old stories...



...A few days after we met in Las Vegas, Issa called me. He was 
concerned about all my questions regarding his early life and didn't see
 why they were newsworthy. The conversation was awkward. I told him that
 there was one more question I wanted him to answer: Where did you get 
the money for your start in business? The issue had stumped the 
insurance investigators, and William had, somewhat mysteriously, told me
 that his brother &quot;would lend people money and get money back that way 
when he was in the service. He would buy and sell cars sometimes. He 
would get cars at a very good price, keep them, and sell them.&quot;



There was a pause on the phone. &quot;That's sort of an amazing one to ask,&quot; 
Issa said. He took a deep breath, and then carefully and patiently 
explained that, before he started at Quantum, he sold a BMW motorcycle 
and two cars-his Mercedes and his wife's 1967 Volkswagen Bug. &quot;We 
liquidated everything we could to raise money,&quot; he said. He added that 
he also borrowed fifty thousand dollars from family members to make the 
first loan to Adkins. Issa seemed frustrated and exhausted. &quot;Everyone,&quot; 
he said, &quot;has a past.&quot;

      <description>BOISE, Idaho -- U.S. authorities in Idaho said Thursday they have arrested an Uzbekistan national on federal terrorism charges.

Federal prosecutors said Fazliddin Kurbanov, 30, was arrested in Boise on Thursday after a grand jury issued a three-count indictment as part of a terrorism investigation.

The indictment charges Kurbanov with one count of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and one count of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. The indictment also alleges he possessed an unregistered explosive device.

A separate federal grand jury in Utah also returned an indictment charging Kurbanov with distributing information about explosives, bombs and weapons of mass destruction.

He is scheduled to appear in federal court in Boise at 9 a.m. Friday.

The Idaho indictment alleges that between August 2012 and May 2013, Kurbanov knowingly conspired with others to provide support and resources, including computer software and money, to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, a designated terrorist organization.

The alleged co-conspirators were not named.

In count two, the indictment alleges Kurbanov provided material support to terrorists, knowing that the help was to be used in preparation for a plot involving the use of a weapon of mass destruction.

The indictment also alleges that on Nov. 15, 2012, Kurbanov possessed an explosive device, consisting of a series of parts intended to be converted into a bomb. Those parts included a hollow hand grenade, a hobby fuse, aluminum powder, potassium nitrate and sulfur.

      <description>Second installment of my amateur venture into digital home recording. This is 
a cover piece taken from Kelly Valleau under the same title and full of mistake, 
but again done in one take. I apologize for no video to go along with this, I'm 
working on it... Rome wasn't built in a day! ;)

Specifics:

Sonar 
X2 producer software, Shure SM57 mic, Lexicon Lambda audio interface, Mackie 
Onyx mixer, Taylor GS mini steel string acoustic, semi-soundproof room, and a 
great buzz :)

You may need to turn this up, I'm getting audio quality 
loss when transferring the audio file. Apologies, and I hope some of you will 
enjoy!</description>
