No? Well, you should have. For Gilbert, a gutsy if improbable adventurer, helped get the ball rolling when it came to England's colonization of the New World. If you like how America turned out, you're in his debt. The continent was then more remote from Europe, in Europeans' experience, than the moon is from humans today.

Bitchiness: It's not just a girl thingPerhaps the tipping point came when Prince William's girlfriend, Kate Middleton, was reported in a gossip column to have made snide comments about the racy clothes and hard-drinking ways of Prince Harry's girlfriend, Chelsy Davy. Or maybe it was when South Africa's safety and security minister, Charles Nqakula, told the fellow countrymen he called 'constant moaners' to 'stop bitching or get out'. What started on Channel Four's Big Brother and spread to the World Cup WAGs (wives and girlfriends) has gained an unstoppable momentum. Bitching, it seems, has become an epidemic, as acceptable among quasi-royals and celebrity wannabes as among academics, politicians and the general public. Not long ago, people preferred to keep their bitching a guilty secret. Now it has become brash and reckless - just look at Grace Adams-Short, 20, who was recently voted out of the Big Brother house where she became known as 'Queen Bitch'.
Free Internet Security CourseBuilding on the success of the previous four Internet Security Awareness courses that have already taken place this year, The DTI are offering owners/managers of small businesses another opportunity to attend the IBS Consulting, Internet Security Awareness course delivered by Peter Ginty Head of IBS Consulting at the International Business School. A key enabler of e-business is security. However, there is a misunderstanding that security is all about IT security protocols. Its not, it is about people and awareness. Small/medium size organisations and consumers are the most vulnerable groups. In general, they are the least aware of the threats of cyber crime; they have the least knowledge of the basic steps that can be taken to protect themselves and they have the least assistance available to them. |
