But because of bureaucratic roadblocks at AT&T and the Pentagon, it wasn't until the 1970s that the technology was finally adopted as the foundation architecture of the Arpanet - the precursor to the Internet. Paul Baran conceived the Internet's architecture at the height of the Cold War. Forty years later, he says the Net's biggest threat wasn't the USSR - it was the phone company. <br /><br />As of the time when he approached AT&T with the idea to build his proposed network, Paul’s invention was so far ahead of its time that in the mid-1960s, AT&T insisted it would not work and refused to advance any move about it. AT&T repeatedly said his idea wouldn’t work, and wouldn’t participate in the Arpanet project. <br /><br />In 1959 he joined Rand, which had been established in 1946 to do military research for the US Air Force. In the early 1960s, while working at the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, Calif., Mr. Baran outlined the fundamentals for packaging data into discrete bundles, which he called “message blocks.” The bundles are then sent on various paths around a network and reassembled at their destination. Such a plan is known as “packet switching.” Mr. Baran’s idea was to build a distributed communications network, less vulnerable to attack or disruption than conventional networks. By the late 1950s, RAND Corporation , was at the centre of nuclear politics and strategy. An issue of great concern at this time was the vulnerability of US military communications to a nuclear strike from Russia. If the command-and-control network was destroyed, the ability of the US to retaliate would be threatened. <br /><br />Baran invented a futuristic solution to this problem in the form of a network held together by scores of small computers. Messages would be passed ("like a hot potato") from one computer to the next towards its destination. Even if the network was massively damaged, the message would still get through. Another innovation was to chop all messages into small blocks so that they would not be delayed by long messages clogging the network. The blocks would arrive at their destination in a random order via different routes, and the computer at the destination end would reconstitute the original messages from the individual blocks.<br /><br />In a series of technical papers published in the 1960s he suggested that networks be designed with redundant routes so that if a particular path failed or was destroyed, messages could still be delivered through another. “Paul wasn’t afraid to go in directions counter to what everyone else thought was the right or only thing to do,” said Vinton Cerf, a vice president at Google who was a colleague and longtime friend of Mr. Baran’s. <br /><br />However, it was not until 1969, that the Defense Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency built the Arpanet, a network that used Mr. Baran’s ideas, and those of others. The Arpanet was eventually replaced by the Internet, and packet switching still lies at the heart of the network’s internal workings. <br /><br />BIO.<br /><br />Paul Baran, was a Polish American engineer who was a pioneer in the development of computer networks. He was one of the three earliest researchers of packet switching techniques, and went on to start several companies and develop other technologies that are an essential part of the Internet and other modern digital communication. He was born in Grodno, Poland (which is now in Belarus) on April 29, 1926.He was the youngest of three children in a Jewish family, with the Yiddish given name "Pesach". <br /><br />His family moved to the United States in 1928,by settling in Boston and later in Philadelphia, where his father, Morris "Moshe" Baran (1884–1979), opened a grocery store. He graduated from Drexel University in 1949 (then called Drexel Institute of Technology), with a degree in electrical engineering. He then joined the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Company, where he did technical work on UNIVAC models, the first brand of commercial computers in the USA. In 1955 he married Evelyn Murphy<br /><br />Baran would later received the Franklin Institute's 2001 Bower Award and Prize for Achievement in Science, his latest in a string of prestigious honors from professional organizations including the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and NEC. Over a lifetime of quietly sustained achievement as inventor and entrepreneur, Baran cofounded the Institute for the Future and created a series of successful companies -Cabledata Associates, Packet Technologies, Metricom, Interfax, and Com21 - based on technologies he developed. As corporations like Cisco acquired his businesses, Baran's inventions went mainstream: His discrete multitone technology is at the heart of DSL, and his developments in spread spectrum transmission are essential to the ongoing wireless explosion.<br /><br />According to Gerald Estrin, who was Mr. Baran’s adviser, said Mr. Baran was the first student he ever had who actually went to the Patent Office in Washington to investigate whether his master’s work, on character recognition, was patentable. “From that day on, my expectations of him changed,” Dr. Estrin said. “He wasn’t just a serious student, but a young man who was looking to have an effect on the world.” <br /><br />DEATH<br /><br />Baran died in Palo Alto, California at the age of 84 on March 26, 2011.He died due to complications from lung cancer. Upon his death James Thomson, the president of RAND stated that "Our world is a better place for the technologies Paul Baran invented and developed, and also because of his consistent concern with appropriate public policies for their use.”One of the fathers of the internet, Vinton Cerf, stated that "Paul wasn't afraid to go in directions counter to what everyone else thought was the right or only thing to do," According to Paul Saffo, Baran also believed that innovation was a "team process" and he didn't seek credit for himself. On hearing news of his death, Robert Kahn, co-inventor of the Internet, said: "Paul was one of the finest gentlemen I ever met and creative to the very end."<br /><br />In recent years, the origins of the Internet have been subject to claims and counterclaims of precedence, and Mr. Baran was an outspoken proponent of distributing credit widely. <br /><br />“The Internet is really the work of a thousand people,” he said in an interview in 2001. “The process of technological developments is like building a cathedral,” he said in an interview in 1990. “Over the course of several hundred years, new people come along and each lays down a block on top of the old foundations, each saying, ‘I built a cathedral.’ “Next month another block is placed atop the previous one. Then comes along an historian who asks, ‘Well, who built the cathedral?’ Peter added some stones here, and Paul added a few more. If you are not careful you can con yourself into believing that you did the most important part. But the reality is that each contribution has to follow onto previous work. Everything is tied to everything else.” <br /><br />Baran ,In addition to his son, David, of Atherton, Calif.,is survived by three grandchildren; and his companion of recent years, Ruth Rothman.<br /> <br /><br /><br />RIPsholahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02334820925541372347noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422266307558291895.post-25591659977432868392010-06-18T22:20:00.002+02:002010-06-20T20:57:18.239+02:00Pakistan's Sex Trade: May You Never Be Uncovered<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzfkK0824RT07vsYuM147TmbJbimjIkI1prba-pfKIN1K9SB_06ha9UXvYtsKIaQc29EBOZGibmJbN8dezzeKriVSWlhJYGlRgg7HgzbTv_YG7lvx1zH8hlBb8iAJoEJrK6XVTial2xmU/s1600/Pakistan.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 372px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzfkK0824RT07vsYuM147TmbJbimjIkI1prba-pfKIN1K9SB_06ha9UXvYtsKIaQc29EBOZGibmJbN8dezzeKriVSWlhJYGlRgg7HgzbTv_YG7lvx1zH8hlBb8iAJoEJrK6XVTial2xmU/s400/Pakistan.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484930967047349410" /></a><br /><br />I was initially drawn to exploring the prevalence of prostitution under Islam in 2001 after encountering impoverished Afghan widows in the refugee camps of the North-West Frontier Province in Pakistan.

Kendra has sued to stop that from happening even though she formed a company to sell the tapes herself in 2008. At that point she had left the Playboy Mansion, where she had been one of Hef's multiple partners, and was engaged to Hank Baskett. The sale of the tapes never went through. <br /><br />In the tape, Kendra is seen dancing nude and having sex with her high school boyfriend, Justin Frye.

"Kendra definitely was not shy about being in these tapes. There are tapes of Kendra in really compromising positions ... doing a lot of embarrassing things."<br /><br />Kendra tried to sell the tapes in 2008 but never struck a deal, and Frye recently cashed in with Vivid, leaving Kendra a cut of the profits. <br /><br />Kendra Leigh Baskett(born June 12, 1985), better known by her birth name of Kendra Wilkinson, is an American television personality and glamour model.

He has since campaigned worldwide to draw attention to climate change, which in 2007 led to a Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar for the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."<br /><br />The Gores, who were married on May 19, 1970, at the National Cathedral in Washington, crafted an image as a happily married couple during his eight-year stint as vice president in the 1990s and a presidential candidate in 2000. The couple famously exchanged a long kiss during the 2000 Democratic presidential convention. <br /><br />The image of their warm relationship stood in sharp contrast to the Clinton marriage rocked by Bill Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, a scandal that hung over Gore's own presidential campaign.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-NkKJ1209k8vMOAh_N4jNt5c85K5U6mHULsKpqowfsWZLZuyy8Tl8VkEAdVaSrkdit4iaMjguSZrs2qjS8oDctBtLBybvgWGowqSlDtWqwH02T0-GMVLK0dwv3kq791uJRmwwndvqccU/s1600/3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 307px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-NkKJ1209k8vMOAh_N4jNt5c85K5U6mHULsKpqowfsWZLZuyy8Tl8VkEAdVaSrkdit4iaMjguSZrs2qjS8oDctBtLBybvgWGowqSlDtWqwH02T0-GMVLK0dwv3kq791uJRmwwndvqccU/s400/3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477924856212705714" /></a><br /><br />Al Gore at the time said his wife was "someone I've loved with my whole heart since the night of my high school senior prom."<br />In a speech to the 2004 Democratic convention, Gore said he wanted to thank "with all my heart my children and grandchildren, and especially my beloved partner in life, Tipper."<br /><br />Tipper said in a 2000 campaign interview with The Associated Press that Al once gave her a Weedeater for her birthday but had learned to be more sensitive over the years and cared about what she wanted.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinv7rIrTTHc_6M8zt2gHk_C1R9h-nLsg-IhBllNhA_8xT5EwV70ARW3J58vI3kPC6ZAarniiCSs_LLRFvvvh_T50yZzEdDI8wSZIl6GdLu4BpEnimo3NYMWFfh7OQ9R74LvxHfrR6b9Xs/s1600/16.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 263px; height: 345px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinv7rIrTTHc_6M8zt2gHk_C1R9h-nLsg-IhBllNhA_8xT5EwV70ARW3J58vI3kPC6ZAarniiCSs_LLRFvvvh_T50yZzEdDI8wSZIl6GdLu4BpEnimo3NYMWFfh7OQ9R74LvxHfrR6b9Xs/s400/16.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478183063006302818" /></a><br /><br />"He's very much a gentleman you know, with me around the house," Tipper said.

Having drunk a cocktail of booze, cannabis or cocaine, as usual, some of the girls were on stage serenading the men as they did the erotic dances, pulling off their scanty clothing in bits. Some, naked as Eve, were engaged in lap dance with patrons, who stole quick caresses. Yet, other girls waited for their turns to perform behind the stage.<br /><br />In fact, the spectacle of the strippers arrested by the task force men was stomach-churning. The scene was despicable, even sickening. A hoard of ladies n various stages of nudity.<br /><br />Chairman, Lagos State Environmental Taskforce, Mr. Bayo Sulaiman, told us that the state government shut the clubs as a result of public outcry over their existence.<br /><br />Sulaiman added that most of the clubs had become hideouts for criminals and undesirable elements.<br /><br />He stressed that the strip clubs were not registered and were not regulated.<br /><br />Immediately the report over the activities of the nude clubs was published, the Archbishop of Lagos State, Anthony Cardinal Okogie, lamented that evil has completely taken over Lagos and called on Governor Babatunde Fashola to act immediately to arrest the trend by shutting them down.<br /><br />“Evil has taken over in Lagos State. The way things are going, when girls of between the ages of 15 and 25 dance nude and throw caution to the wind with boys and men watching them, then they are sending a wrong signal to the society. It portends danger. We are sitting on a loaded gun,” said Okogie, in a statement signed by the Director of Social Communications, Lagos State, Reverend Gabriel Osu.<br /><br />Okogie called on Fashola to act now because the strip clubs are on the increase, while those shut earlier had re-opened with impunity and with a change of name.<br /><br />“I hope this is not making mockery of Lagos as mega-city, Centre of Excellence and City of Aquatic Splendour,” he said.<br /><br />While some Lagosians called on the state government not to shut the strips clubs but simply regulate them as adult fun exists in all mega cities, most people kicked against their existence and simply called on Governor Fashola to close them down.<br /><br />We learnt that the arrest of strip dancers was dramatic as they did not expect the taskforce visit them in the night.<br /><br />A 24-year Ghanaian lady,Traore Anida, who was among the strippers arrested during the busting of the club, said she started the job a month ago because she was desperately in need of fund to go back to her country.<br /><br />She said that she was brought to Nigeria by a woman whom she said is based in the Republic of Benin.<br />“I need money to go back to my country and there is no other work I can do to get the money fast. That is why I joined the job,” Anida stated.<br /><br />Emma Ofor, manager of Club Unique who was arrested along with the 33 strippers, said that he joined the club in January this year, adding that poverty made him to accept the offer. Offor said that he could not reject the offer as he was in desperate need of a job.<br /><br />“That is the circumstance I found myself and it is because of my situation. I was desperately in need of job when the offer came and I just had to accept it.”<br /><br />Goddy Benjamin, manager of Wall Street Club who was also arrested along with the strippers denied that ladies go naked in the clubs to entertain patrons.<br /><br />However, we were there several times, when young girls danced stark naked to entertain guests at Wallstreet.<br />Benjamin stated that the activities at the club are regulated and the club obtained licence from local government for its operation.<br /><br />“Ladies in my club do not go naked. They do not dance naked. They always cover their body, they are just like other models and nobody harasses them. My ladies do not dance naked,” Benjamin claimed. However, we can confirm that the statement is inaccurate.<br /><br />The Task Force Chairman has called on the general public to supply the outfit with more information on where strip clubs operate.<br /><br />“We want more information from members of the public of the location of more of such club houses; the Task Force Chairman implored the public.<br /><br /><br /><br />WHAT THE NUDE DANCERS HAVE TO SAY<br /><br />For some strip dancers and the operators of the club where they perform in Lagos, November 3, 2009 was a day of reckoning. It was a day the bubble burst while the sexual display madness for which the joints were notorious was going on. <br /><br />That fateful Friday night, officials of the Lagos State Environmental Task Force and Special Offences Units raided four seedy joints and arrested 33 nude dancers and two managers. The clubs were also put under lock and key for constituting social nuisance and operating without approval from constituted authorities.<br /><br />According to Mr. Bayo Suleiman, a superintendent of police attached to the task force, “it is true that we busted four clubs and sealed them off because of public outcry. There is no regulation and permission for their business and it is immoral. The clubs also serve as criminal hideouts.”<br />The affected clubs are located at the Allen/Opebi axis of Ikeja. They are Mega City (formerly known as Ocean Blue), Club Unique, Cazzbah and Wall Street Club and Pub.<br /><br />Indeed, it was supposed to be a night like any other, a night to service the dark appetite and or damaging habits of wild fun seekers, who paid N2, 000 to gain entry. The business of the day had begun on schedule. Guests were slipping in to “relax” and unwind with some of sexiest go-go dancers in town, as one of the club’s handbills proclaimed, when the task force men came calling. Unlike the past visits when the law enforcement officers came to “see” the managers of the nude clubs or to catch some fun themselves, their mission was different that night. <br /><br />It was gathered that some of the girls were actually caught pants down. Having drunk a cocktail of booze, cannabis or cocaine, as usual, some of the girls were on stage serenading the men as they did the erotic dances, pulling off their scanty clothing in bits. Some, naked as Eve, were engaged in lap dance with patrons, who stole quick caresses. Yet, other girls waited for their turns to perform behind the stage.<br />In fact, the spectacle of the strippers arrested by the task force men was stomach-churning. The scene was despicable, even sickening. A hoard of ladies in various stages of nudity.<br /><br />Saturday Sun gathered that the arrested strippers were detained for eight days before being granted bail by a Lagos State Mobile Court. According to Mr. Tayo Ashagba, Public Relations Officer of the Task Force, “their managers will produce them whenever they are wanted in court.”<br />However, the officials of the task force, who were sent to rescue the not only exceeded their mandate but also added their personal programme.<br /><br />They allegedly sexually abused the strippers and made away with their personal belongings, including cash, handsets, and jewellery. Some of the girls claimed that they were raped.<br />Narrating their ordeal in the hands of the law enforcement agents, some of the strippers said the rampaging officials took them in turns to satisfy their sexual appetite.<br /><br />One of the nude dancers, who claimed to be a student, said: “They said that what we were doing was bad but what they did to us was worse. When the task force people came to arrest us, some of them behaved like animals and they treated us as if we are not human beings. They were squeezing our buttocks and breasts and fingering us (inserting their fingers into their private parts). Then they raped some of us.” <br />Asked if she was eventually raped, Betty, as she introduced herself, said she was not. She, however, added that her handset and money were stolen. <br /><br />Hear her: “They took my Samsung E4900 handset and N1, 800 inside my hand bag. They squeezed my buttocks and breasts, but I was not raped. I was just lucky. Some other girls were not.”<br />Another victim, who gave her name as Detra, said she was raped at the Courtyard of Wall Street, the nude club she operates.<br /><br />Detra said: “One of the men pulled me into a corner and raped me. He first told me that she would set me free if I agreed. Later he said that if I did not agree he would still have his way and arrest me. He pulled me to a corner and told me to bend down, while he did the doggie style with me. After he had his way, he reneged in his promise to set me free.”<br /><br />Recalling the events of the night, another stripper, Evelyn, said: “When they came that night, I did not know that they would take us away. We thought that they came to be settled, as usual. You know, some officers normally come, from time to time, to see the manager. Usually, after seeing the manager, the manager will divert some of us to meet the officers. <br /><br />At such times, we sleep with them. But that night, there was commotion because of the way they entered; they were shouting and rough handling us. They stole a powerful phone given to me by my guy, who returned from the United States not long ago.<br /><br />“In fact, they searched my hand bag and took my wristwatch, necklace and N4, 000. I did not even see my make-up kit. I don’t know what they want to do with that.” <br />Asked if she was raped, the dark complexioned Warri girl, with full breasts, declared: “I no fit talk again; the one wey I don talk don do. Leave me alone.”<br /><br />Sources told us that the task force men had a field day sleeping with the girls while they were in detention. Said the source: “After the girls were arrested, the officials took turns to rape them. They promised to assist some of the girls to escape prosecution but they never did. The task force people had a hell of time with the girls.” <br /><br />Meanwhile, the nude clubs have gone back to business, with the girls doing their strip shows.

The recording was acquired by Vivid Entertainment, who plans to distribute the tape as "Kendra Exposed".

No word on whether the partners were spread out one per tape. <br /><br />The porn company Vivid Entertainment has obtained the sex tapes Kendra made when she was 18 and is threatening to distribute them. Kendra has sued to stop that from happening even though she formed a company to sell the tapes herself in 2008. At that point she had left the Playboy Mansion, where she had been one of Hef's multiple partners, and was engaged to Hank Baskett. The sale of the tapes never went through. <br /><br />In the tape, Kendra is seen dancing nude and having sex with her high school boyfriend, Justin Frye. Kendra is now married to Hank Baskett and they have a baby boy.<br /><br />Kendra has reportedly already gotten a $680,000 paycheck for the tape's release and stands to collect 50 percent of the profits. A source tells Radaronline.com that Hank is not upset about the tape or her decision to cash in on it. Her payday includes 50 percent of sales of the sex tape, and her partner in the tape has already pocketed $100,000 for selling it to Vivid, a source told Radar. <br /><br />HOW THE TAPE CAME TO BE<br /><br />Kendra’s partner that revealed the tape is Justin Frye, now 28, a mixed martial arts fighter (see pix below) who started dating Kendra when she was in high school. They broke up soon after Kendra graduated, when she moved into the Playboy mansion.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uZhXcmvA6rA/TAAsEWHG7HI/AAAAAAAAA9M/d8gDPjRHtLA/s1600/KENDRA+jusin+frye.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 272px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uZhXcmvA6rA/TAAsEWHG7HI/AAAAAAAAA9M/d8gDPjRHtLA/s400/KENDRA+jusin+frye.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476425600049015922" /></a>Kendra and partner that revealed the tape-Justin Frye,now 28,a mixed martial arts fighter.<br /><br />Radar reports that Kendra and Frye shot several sex tapes together while they were dating and Kendra left the tapes behind when she moved out. <br />"Justin had a tripod in his bedroom for the camera and a stripper pole in the apartment," the source said. "Kendra definitely was not shy about being in these tapes. There are tapes of Kendra in really compromising positions ... doing a lot of embarrassing things."<br /><br />Kendra tried to sell the tapes in 2008 but never struck a deal, and Frye recently cashed in with Vivid, leaving Kendra a cut of the profits. <br /><br />Kendra Leigh Baskett(born June 12, 1985), better known by her birth name of Kendra Wilkinson, is an American television personality and glamour model.
