Bullying & Intimidation: A World Wide Dilemma

A writer friend, Peter Curran and the author of  The Ancient Order of Moridura, (available through Amazon), wrote an interesting blogspot on bullying and its almost pervasive manifestation on everyone’s life.  Here is the link, Moridura: Bullying and its manifestations.

Peter should know, his career began as a Human Relations professional in Scotland.  I can say he knows, because my former career as a Labor Attorney taught me one fundamental principle about human interactions.  “There is no greater form of terror among God’s creatures, than what can occur between mankind.”  The legendary beasts in the ocean and on land do not hold a candle to what can transpire in the name of good or otherwise among God’s children. 

(Peter is a good man, I had to give him a plug for his book)  Besides, it is a fun fictional read.

CERN toasts 20th birthday of the World Wide Web

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) - the birth place of the World Wide Web – is today celebrating the web’s 20th anniversary. The celebration includes talks from significant people involved in its inception, development and future, including Tim Berners-Lee – a UK computer scientist working at CERN in 1989 – who invented the Web.

In March 1989 Tim Berners-Lee wrote “Information Management: A Proposal,” the original proposal for the World Wide Web and thus began an invention that has changed our lives and our world in such profound ways.

The Web, as it is affectionately called, was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automatic information sharing between CERN scientists working in different universities and institutes all over the world.

The basic idea of the WWW was to merge the technologies of personal computers, computer networking and hypertext into a powerful and easy to use global information system.

The original proposal was refined by Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau in 1990 and in 1991, an early WWW system was released to the high energy physics community via the CERN program library.

Instead of selling its new technology, CERN made the Web public and people all over the world started using it – and not just for scientific research.
