The prevalence of computers in form of so called "smart" devices embedded in our everyday environment is inevitable. From pentester's perspective, the adjective "smart" at first glance can hardly be used to describe their inventors and ambassadors.
Based on a few examples (i.a. BTLE beacons, smart meters, security cameras...) I will show how easily "smart" devices can be outsmarted. Sometimes you don't even need any 'hacking' skills, or the default configuration is wide-open. But are we doomed? What are the conditions for real threat? Can the vulnerabilities be exploited anonymously and as easily as in web application? Where is the physical border the intruder would be likely to cross? The risks involved are usually different, but does it mean we don't have to worry? Are we sure how to use securely the emerging technology?

Wojtek Mazur - Competitions for Bloggers: The Benefits, The Challenges, The R...Marketing Festival
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of holding competitions for bloggers. It outlines goals like gaining new audiences and links. A case study details a fitness blog awards competition that attracted thousands of votes and links for a supplement store client. Challenges included selecting nominees and engagement, while risks were fraud, low interest and losing trust. Relationships with bloggers were key.
The document provides guidance on writing a film review, including identifying the genre, purpose, and audience. It explains that a good film review should inform readers about the film's details, describe the story and characters without spoilers, analyze whether the film is good and why, and advise readers whether to see it. The document also notes that layout is important and offers a suggestion to submit the sample review to a specific magazine due to its target female audience.

the Berkshires with this as he
said there are so many talented
people in this area.
Bruce’s family has become
a part of the business with his
wife Kim, who is a certified art
teacher at Capeless & Williams
Elementary School, being a face
painter and daughter Kaileigh
doing Princess Parties and magic.
Kaileigh has been involved in
drama since age 3 and is also
involved in swimming, chorus
and acting, working hard at all
she does. Bruce said that she was
a shy girl, who at first didn’t want
to do the Princess character. She
did decide to do it on her own
and now glows when she takes
on a character.
Bruce told of many of his
memorable moments in his busi-
ness. He has performed for 200
kids at a school,making over 200
balloon characters in less than
an hour, then the next day per-
formed at a birthday party with
only a family of four present.“Big
or small, they are all fun,”he said.
Some of his best memories are
of opening at Tanglewood for
Rafi, and being called later by
Joan Van Ark who had seen him
and wanted him to join her on

Bruce was also asked to open for
Pete Seger when he did a ben-
efit for the PCPs in the water at
Riverfest.
He then went on to tell me
of his most touching show. This
was for a six-year-olds birthday
party. He was having a very hard
time getting the boy to smile,
but finally he came around and
was joining in and started smil-
ing and laughing. The mother
explained to Bruce at the end of
the show why this was. The child
had lost his father in a motor-
cycle accident two days before
the party and the mother did not
want to upset him even more by
skipping over his birthday party.
“This reminds me of why I do
this,”Bruce said.
We talked about another of
Bruce’s characters; Mr. Trivia
Game Show, which he said, can
be catered to different age groups
and occasions and has become
very popular. He said that he has
also taught classes in balloon
animals at the Circus Camp at
Berkshire Community College.
I did get to see Bruce make
some of his balloon characters,
which was quite fascinating, as
his hands moved quickly, creat-
ing animal and alien creatures.
Bruce said that balloon art has
expanded greatly over the years
by adding color, a variety of bal-
loons, and the number of bal-
loons in some of these creations.
A favorite among boys is the
alien and with the girls it is the
Little Mermaid, he said.
Bruce has performed in many
places from home birthday par-
ties to nursing homes to kids
from 2 to 99. “Everybody loves
a clown and everyone loves to be
entertained,”he said.
On Thursday nights Bowey
the Clown can be seen perform-
ing at Pete & Chris Restaurant at
451 Dalton Ave. from 5-7 p.m.

A.L.I.V.E. Music Ministry will
be holding a benefit concert on
February 17,2008 at 4:00 p.m.for
PastorKenMick,thepastoratthe
Sovereign Grace Baptist Church
in Savoy and the Fellowship Bible
Church which currently meets at
the BMC Chapel. Pastor Mick is
being treated for polycystic kid-
ney disease, a hereditary disease
which usually destroys the kid-
ney function in the late 50’s /early
60’s.For some reason Pastor Ken’s
disease progressed earlier than
most. His kidney function was at
15 percent and dialysis will most
likely be needed by January 2009
This could reduce his ability to
earn an income from 50 to 75
percent.
He has been a pastor for 15
years between Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts, a camp chaplain,
he has also taken two preach-
ing mission trips to Buff Bay,
Jamaica,is the Director of Search
the Scriptures: a speaking and
writing, counseling ministry of
Sovereign Grace Baptist Church.
Pastor Ken has a Bachelors
degree in elementary education
and a master’s degree in religion.
In his spare time he loves history,
reading,hiking,andwriting.Heis
alsoaguitaristinCrosstalkPraise
Band and coaches Lanesboro
youth soccer. He and his wife,
Beth,live in Lanesboro with their
four children.
Asacollegestudent,Kenwould
spend Sunday afternoons with
different church families. One
family had a young girl named
Anna. Many years later as Ken
and family attended family camp
in Pennsylvania; they became
friends with the Thorburn fam-
ily: Anna and Richard, the same
young girl Ken knew from col-
lege. Rich was willing to donate
a kidney to Ken’s father who also
had kidney disease. Before the
operation, Ken’s dad got a cadav-
er donor.
When Rich became aware of
Ken’s need, he volunteered his
kidney to Ken. Both Ken and
Rich needed cash to cover the
month out of work. Ken is also
in need of money to help pay
for a life time of anti-rejection
medications. His goal is $70,000.
Money has come in for the time
out of work and January 16th the
surgery occurred.
As prayer requests were sent
out, e-mails among them, Ken’s
wife posted Prayer requests to
Berkshire Christian home-
school network, a group of
which Beth is a member. One
on that list brought Ken’s need to
the attention of A.L.I.V.E. Music
Ministry.As fellow Christians the
A.L.I.V.E. Music Ministry wants
to give back to those who also
give of themselves for the Lord.
The benefit concert will be their
way of doing that, three groups
performing for this benefit - the
Praise and Worship Team from
Stamford Community Church,
the Honig Family and the
A.L.I.V.E. Music Ministry. The
donations will come in the form
of a free will offering which will
go to Pastor Ken and his family
for the ongoing medications and
