RIPE NCC handing out its last block of IPv4 addresses, tries to fend off internet survivalism

In a world where IPv6 lives and IPv4 addresses are scarce, network providers must fight for survival... or at least, claim their IP blocks quickly. The RIPE NCC, the regional internet registry for Asia, Europe and the Middle East, warns that it's down to assigning its last set of 16.8 million IPv4 addresses as of this weekend. That sounds like a lot, but we'd do well to remember that the registry churned through about 5.2 million addresses in just the past two weeks. What's left won't be around for long, folks. To cut back on the number of Mad Max-style battles for dwindling resources, RIPE NCC is rationing out IPv4 for local registries in 1,024-address chunks -- and only to those who both have IPv6 assignments as well as proof of a need for IPv4. With just a bit more than half of the RIPE NCC's customers currently on IPv6, that could still trigger a shortfall among networks that haven't prepared for the internet protocol apocalypse. We'd advise that companies stock up on IPv6 supplies before launching the raiding parties.

Spain takes 1st step toward bid to win 4 straight

MADRID (AP) - Perfect in qualifying for tournaments since 2007 with 22 consecutive victories, Spain visits Georgia on Tuesday to take its first step toward the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and what would be an unprecedented fourth straight major title.

Spain retained the European Championship title earlier this year without career scoring leader David Villa, who returned from a broken leg for Friday's 5-0 exhibition rout of Saudi Arabia. Spain's last competitive loss was to Switzerland at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

"Playing in a World Cup in Brazil is something really important," midfielder Xavi Hernandez said on Monday.

Villa scored in his first international match since last year, adding to an already potent attack led by Fernando Torres, David Silva and Pedro Rodriguez. No team has won consecutive World Cups since Brazil in 1958 and 1962.

"Being world and European champion doesn't guarantee you anything," Xavi said. "These are difficult matches. It's not going to be easy at all to get to the World Cup, even if some already think it's a done deal."

European qualifying began Friday, with Italy the only top team that failed to start with a victory.

A 2-2 draw at Bulgaria in Group B angered supporters. The Azzurri host 139th-ranked Malta.

"Our performance in Sofia was unacceptable," Italy coach Cesare Prandelli said. "It's right that the marks in the newspapers were low. The squad was the most experienced that I've had in my two years as coach, which shows that the things you learn can be forgotten."

The Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, England and France all will try for 2-0 starts. While England routed Moldova 5-0 in Group H and the Dutch beat Turkey 2-0 in a potentially tricky Group D opener, Portugal was far from impressive in rallying to defeat Luxembourg 2-1.

Germany was expected to beat Faeroe Islands by a bigger margin than 3-0. France, which is in the same group as Spain, defeated Finland 1-0.

On Tuesday, France takes on Belarus - the team that stunned Les Bleus with a surprise 1-0 win in Saint-Denis at the start of Euro 2012 qualifying - and coach Didier Deschamps wants more from his forwards, who haven't scored in the team's past five matches. Karim Benzema has not scored in 11 games for club and country.

"We need to become more dangerous," said Deschamps, who also has Spain to contend with in qualifying. "Getting an attack to function is the hardest thing to do. (Against Finland) either we held onto the ball too long, or we didn't give it properly, or there weren't enough numbers up front."

Germany travels to Austria buoyed by a seven-match winning streak over its neighbor.

"It's going to be a heated encounter between neighbors in a sold-out stadium," Germany captain Philipp Lahm said.

England will be without Chelsea defenders Ashley Cole and John Terry for its home match against Ukraine due to injuries.

After its biggest road margin of victory in 19 years, England figures to have a tougher test in Ukraine. England beat Ukraine 1-0 in the first round of this year's European Championship.

"Ukraine are a quality team. They showed that in glimpses in the game during the European Championship," England midfielder Frank Lampard said. "They are certainly going to come to Wembley with intentions to make it difficult for us and show what they are about, so we will have to be on top form."

There are 25 qualifiers in Europe, while in South America, Argentina is likely to maintain its lead atop the standings.

Argentina defeated Paraguay 3-1 on Friday with goals from Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria and Gonzalo Higuain, and will be favored at Peru.

Through six matches, the Argentines lead South America with 13 points, followed by Chile and Ecuador with 12, Uruguay with 11 and Colombia with 10.

Radamel Falcao has carried over his club form to the national team after scoring in a 4-0 rout of Uruguay. The Atletico Madrid striker has seven goals in his past three games.

Colombia, whose last appearance at the World Cup was in 1998, faces a tough trip to Chile. Paraguay plays Venezuela, and Uruguay faces Ecuador.

Apple television plans still bogged down in media negotiations

For those waiting on a full-on Apple television set, or even an enhanced Apple TV will more traditional capabilities, it looks like you'll have to keep waiting, at least for now. While Apple is likely ready to go from a technology standpoint, they can't seem to come to agreements with entrenched, terrified media companies over the future of the living room interface and experience. Adam Satariano and Alex Sherman report for Bloomberg:

In recent negotiations, the main stumbling blocks with cable companies have included a tussle for control over the software that determines the screen interface -- the look and feel of the viewer?s experience, said people familiar with the discussions.

Bloomberg also succinctly sums up what Apple's plans are for the living room:

Since the middle of the last decade, Apple?s engineers have been working on a more advanced product to allow viewers to quickly find shows and movies, blending both live and recorded material, the people said. It would recommend content based on interests and work seamlessly with Apple?s family of other devices. An iPhone or iPad would double as a remote control, the people said.

According to Bloomberg, Apple most recently focused on deals to gain access to live programming from cable companies, without having to make completely new content deals. Apparently, however, the cable companies are worried that Apple will intermediate their customer relationships and don't find the prospect of more future-thinking business models appealing enough to risk the old, decaying ones.

And that's the downer in all this -- even if Apple's negotiations pan out, the best we'll get with this type of deal is an Apple TiVo, and not the product Apple really wants to make. Short of using some of that $100 billion in the bank to buy cable companies -- and they could never buy enough, globally enough -- and drag them kicking and screaming into a new and better world, we're all going to be held hostage to the fears, contracts, and comfort of the past.

Jay-Z belts out '99 Problems' with Pearl Jam

By Dan Hyman and Joe Pinsker, Rolling Stone

On the second and final day of Jay-Z's Budweiser Made in America Festival in Philadelphia, conversation remained centered on its host. After bringing out Kanye West and most of his G.O.O.D. Music crew on the first night during his headlining set, the Brooklyn emcee returned on Sunday, joining Pearl Jam for an airtight, riffing take on his "Black Album" cut "99 Problems," a version of the song only comparable to a 2004 collaboration with Phish.

Jay's surprise appearance highlighted what was a momentous set by Eddie Vedder's crew. Over two hours, the rock vets satiated all levels of fans, mixing set staples ("Better Man," "Alive," "Even Flow") with unexpected gifts, including a full ride through the "Vs." cut?"WMA" and a brief interlude into the Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop" during the outro of "Daughter."

A day earlier, Jay-Z screened a PSA from President Barack Obama for audience members, urging them to vote in the upcoming election. Almost exactly 24 hours later Vedder also dabbled in political gesture: "I want to talk about one of the political parties," he told the crowd before charging through the Clash's protest anthem "Know Your Rights." "I won't mention any names, but one of the parties wants to make it harder for you to vote. " This sermon followed a Vedder discourse on the dwindling job market before the appropriately titled "Unemployable."

Drake, wearing a white-on-white jean-and-tank combo, delivered on the unenviable task of warming up the stage for Pearl Jam. The Young Money rapper, who revealed he's "working on a new one right now," linked up with G.O.O.D Music's 2 Chainz for a fierce take on the Atlanta rhyme-slinger's? "No Lie" and MMG's day-one absentee French Montana for "Pop That." The rapper, who got somber during the singsong plea of "Marvin's Room," balanced it out with humor ("You got a tank top on and your nipples are out," he told an audience member).

Performing for the first time since the 2002 murder of co-founder Jam Master Jay, seminal hip-hop crew Run-D.M.C. reunited for a triumphant Sunday afternoon set. Surviving members Joseph "Run" Simmons and Daryl "D.M.C." McDaniels paid tribute early and often to their late partner ("Jam Master Jay was everything to us, so we put a silence on the group," Run explained of the group's decade-long hiatus), even having the late DJ's two sons, Jason "Jam Master J'Son" Mizell Jr. and TJ "Dasmatic" Mizell, behind the decks. Run, decked out in full Adidas regalia, made no secret of his elation over returning to the stage: "Damn, this feels good," he said at the start of a 40-minute set that peaked with "It's Tricky" and "Mary, Mary."

Immediately after Run-D.M.C. left the stage, rap's newest generation of talent was put on display with a set from Odd Future, which featured an abundance of "Wolf Gang" chants and six of the collective's rappers, including Tyler, the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, and Hodgy Beats. Late in the set, Tyler debuted a blistering, as-yet-unfinished song, sarcastically prefacing it with a false disclaimer: "It's really calm," he said. It wasn't, and Odd Future catalyzed the formation of the only mosh pit Rolling Stone saw all weekend.

Punk rockers X attracted a thin crowd late Sunday night at the Liberty side stage; today's punks were nowhere to be found, as the band brought in a markedly older demographic. The foursome appeared a little stiff onstage, but aurally speaking, any Eighties cobwebs were thoroughly dusted off as the band nailed classics like "Los Angeles" and "Johnny Hit and Run Paulene."

Earlier in the day, with rain falling intermittently on the crowd, Rita Ora ? Roc Nation's up-and-coming artist (and a finalist for Rolling Stone's Women Who Rock contest)?-- looked like a street Beyonc? (think beanie and bangs) as she wilded out to her forthcoming debut's Biggie-inspired, reggae-tinged single "How We Do (Party)" and "Hot Right Now."

The Hives, wearing their usual top hats and tuxedos, followed Ora's performance with an occasionally comical but always full-throttle showing. "You got hands, clap them. You got asses, shake them," frontman Pelle Almqvist instructed the crowd before launching into their new cut "Take Back the Toys."

One of Sunday's biggest draws was Afrojack, whose set spawned a veritable diaspora toward the Freedom Tent after Drake's main stage performance, siphoning off a considerable number of festivalgoers from X's set on the nearby Liberty Stage. The DJ and producer spun crowd-pleasers like his remix of Martin Solveig's "Hello" as his smoke machines were on in full force.

"We're going to make it feel like sunshine," Philly native Santigold promised after inviting a handful of eager fans onstage for "Creator." Fellow Philly singer Jill Scott did her part to keep the mood lively, calling on the city's own Eve for a surprise performance of "Let Me Blow Ya Mind," a song which had the hometown crowd singing along with every word.

If they are not careful handled and directly poured into the river or ...

Garbage dumpster rental is a necessary evil for most people. Irrespective of what the problem, you must ensure that you never ever put your hand inside the garbage disposal and turn it on. A quality company will find ways to keep the dumping fees to a minimum. With Thanksgiving just around the corner having this skill can get you and extra piece of Pumpkin Pie. Some people separate garbage from the recyclables, but trash nonetheless builds up. Garbage is a big contributor to many illnesses spreading worldwide.

This is done by soaking the paper and breaking it up into small pieces in giant washers, then treating it with chemicals that loosen the ink so that it can be rinsed away

This is because the shredders are not designed to shred any non food material and in fact, this can break down the shredders, causing the appliance to malfunction. Explain the benefits of recycling. For it might be the cause of ones immediate death and the commercial trash compactor.

Garbage is one main cause of health and even environmental problems especially in our surroundings. People are getting way too comfortable with doing as they please and disrespecting other spaces that arent theirs, which is why these signs are so important. But they accept specialized wastes like glass, asphalt, plastic, paper etc and transport them to recycling centers. Some kinds of food materials also must not be thrown into the garbage disposal.

Thus, prevention and management of garbage becomes a new important task for us.

Always try to avoid throwing big pieces or fiber content present in food. Additionally it has the capaneighborhood to raise their bed and roll off the container on the unloading area with the commercial trash compactor. Even though there are systems in place for a proper waste management, yet it is proving to be the hardest thing to bring it under control.

When taking a load to the dump, be sure that it is securely covered by tightly tying a tarp over the load with some rope or bungee cords.

To tell you what recycling is and what the word actually embodies may seem strange to you. The truck can contain large portions of wastes since they compress them tightly inside the container. With this service you pay a company to come and pick up your trash for you.

Paint can, aerosol cans can be recycled

At the same time, another container would be put on the truck to accept another load of wastes. At some point recycled paper has to be mixed in with virgin material, and eventually after repeated uses, it ends up in a landfill or and incinerator.

There are some things that you must keep in mind to ensure that the your appliance is working fine. Trash trucks are the most important vehicles to keep our surroundings clean and healthy. The no dumping sign is a fairly recent addition to commercially produced signs. Garbage disposal is one of the important appliances in the kitchen and it is often the most neglected one.

Don't let your public speaking skills limit your potential ? Mark ...

Finding your voice ? could be the easiest way to accelerate your business or careers success.

Whether you are a business owner or executive trying to get ahead, your success will be severally limited unless you can master the art of public speaking.

Standing out from the crowd is an essential element of success for people and businesses alike. Public speaking is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to stand out in the crowded market place.? ?Whether it is how you speak at meetings or getting a speaking engagement at trade conferences.

Some people love public speaking, others dread it? but whether it?s speaking to conferences, sales calls or just plain networking and major meetings; it is clear that even to day in the digital age you need to master the art of speaking to get ahead.

Only 7% of message impact comes from the words we use. The rest from the way we deliver it. ?The way that you deliver ?your words?, comes from how we process things internally and can be reprogrammed.

To develop confidence and passion into your speaking here are a few tips:

Personal brand ? Consciously own a style

Too often the inexperienced speaker will put on their ?speaking voice?, inadvertently becoming someone other than themselves on stage. Generally that ?speaker voice? is a poor version of you and they are selling you short. Save the being someone else to the professional actors. The easiest person to be is you.

Get clear about who you are and what your personal brand stands for. Develop a written list of key characteristics of your person brand, values and style in your normal non-speaking business life. Then use this list to encourage and challenge yourself to be that on stage. Remember being ?consciously competent? is the step in learning before ?unconscious competence?.

If you work for a corporate do not loose your individualism and personal brand completely to the company brand. For ?owner managers?

Use a topic you are passionate about to start

Ask yourself ?What part of my topic am I most passionate about??? Use this in your opening, if you are truly passionate about it, your body will change its physiology and you will become alive on stage.

Stand for something: Have a few ?soap box? topics

Have a few pet topics that you can speak on, so that given short notice you always have something to talk about. Make a bold claim; debate is one of the most powerful ways to engage audiences.

Just Do it

Yes nothing will get you better at speaking than practice. Take every opportunity to practice. Start by always asking questions at conferences and large meetings. Hunt down speaking opportunities; industry associations are a good place to start.

If you lack speaking opportunities join a toastmasters club. Toastmasters provide a friendly and inspirational environment to learn and improve every week. I personally got a lot out of attending a club for a while and was blown away by the relaxed format and inspiration speeches I heard.

Get Help

The quickest way to improve you learning is to get some one on one coaching and critique.

Basic steps to finding your voice:

1. Personal commitment to fix it
2. Process of creating a conscious personal brand ? and using it as a strength in presentation style
3. Learning some mechanics / tools of delivery that are compatible to you
4. Creating the message to deliver for the voice medium.
5. Personal coaching on all above ? including follow up coaching

At GMC we help business owners and executives who want to ?find their voice? in the business environment, ?helping you discover what to say and how to say it. Unlike traditional speaking coaches we get business and business people ? and come from a business perspective rather than entertainer or actor mind-set.
