The Last Palm Tree

Tucked away in a corner of London's Royal Botanic Gardens, the last of an ancient plant grows. Though it resembles a stumpy palm tree, the Encephalartos woodii is incredibly rare. In fact, it may well be the very last of its kind on Earth. Get to know this Jurassic cycad, the loneliest bachelor on Earth.

Wingsuit Flying

The unquenchable thirst of man to literally fly. This is as closest as it can be - dangerous, adrenaline pumping and super exhilarating.

Nuremberg Trial

A piece of human history depicted in film.
2000

God On Trial

A very passionate, powerful, moving, tragic but beautiful story in the face of tremendous adversity because of who they are - their race.

1. The prisoners reasoned out how did they get there?
2. They questioned, what kind of God who made a covenant with their forefathers?
3. Did He betrayed and broke the contract with them? The covenant

This is a glimpse of the charges, rebuttals, scholarly reasoning and even mockery of the sovereignty of God. The other side of the story is the realization of the fallacy and depravity of man as they put God literally on trial.

Setting

The year is 1944, in Auschwitz prison, one year before the end of the Second World War. A day before half of them will be herded into the gas chamber.

The Prisoners

They are rabbis and scholars, men of science and men of commerce, working class and peasants - all Jewish

The Court

Rabbinical - where the Torah itself is the law

The Charge

God is in breach of contract and has failed to fulfill his promise - The Covenant

The Judges

Baumgarten - a professor in criminal law in Berlin, acts as the Head of the Court
Schmidt - a religious scholar - a Rabbi, acts as the Father of the Court
Mordecai - the Dayan (questioner), act as a Prosecutor

The Witnesses

Kuhn - father of Mordecai - in God's defense
Idek - brilliant scholar - tremendous knowledge on the Torah
Block Altester - the prisoner in charge of the inmates
Lieble - a father of three sons
Ezra - a good Jew
Jacques - a scientist - Physicist, argues God is an illusion
Akiba - the mystical Rabbi of Zamkevitz

The Arguments

God is sovereign and powerful
God breach of contract is habitual
Purification - punishment is part of the covenant
Suffering - part of God's plan - To test the Faith
Free Will - Man's choice, to think, to decide and to reason

The Quotes

What is the charge? are you blind, murder! collaboration murder!
If we take happiness from God's hand, must we not take sorrows too?
No enemy should be able to outwit him, no wicked man overcome him - I should crush his enemies before him, strikes his opponents dead!
God said for all people, we would be his own - he's chosen - a priestly nation
Bad things had happened before, read the Torah, read your history, we are Jews we suffered
The point is, to be a good Jew, the point is to keep faith - we are being tested!
In law, the punishment has to be proportionate to the crime
Before we go blaming God, we should ask ourselves and it's not God who violates the covenant but ourselves
They became socialists or Zionists , capitalists or anarchists. God knows what. Forgetting everything of the precious Scriptures
We must keep order here - you are Jews - if nothing else we must respect the law
The Torah - in our poverty it clothed and housed us - it is our palace and we lived in its splendor
I didn't say I'm a good man, I try but I don't know if I'm a good man and if you are a bad man
The questions is? Why did he chose to punish this good man here and not for instance - Hitler
Imagine, God is a surgeon and he has to remove a gangrene in the leg or an arm to cure the whole body. It's a violent act - its painful but it is also loving
When a man sacrifice, then something it must be the best - the most beautiful!
And where are the Romans now? They are dust!
And the Torah? still living, still flowering still illuminating the world
We can hate the knife but loves the surgeon
God give man freewill and he chooses evil with it
The war will end, Hitler will die and the people and the Torah will survive
If he love the Jews so much, why did he make anything else?
Why did he not fill the whole universe with Jews instead of stars
Then came the Jews, with great idea - there is only one God - amazing!
Then came the Christians - better idea!
Yes, there is only one God that did not only love Jews but others as well
What happened to the covenant? He made a covenant to someone else

OpenAM Adaptive Risk - MultiFactor Authentication

OpenAM is an access management platform, built on Java modular base architecture. Developed by ForgeRock, a software company specializing "Identity and Access Management" solutions. It is an offshoot product out from the original Sun Microsystems project called OpenSSO. It already evolves into “all-in-one” access management solution that includes Authentication, SSO, Authorization, Federation, Entitlements, Adaptive Authentication, Strong Authentication, and Web Services Security, in a single, unified product.

Adaptive Risk

This module is used to assess risks during the authentication process, and to determine whether to require that the user complete further authentication steps. Adaptive risk authentication determines, based on risk scoring, whether more information from a user is required when they login.

* Evaluates each attempted login in real-time and generates a risk score based on parameters such as geographic location, IP address, time of day, and device profile.
* The higher the score, the greater the risk to the organization.
* For high-risk situations, OpenAM provides one of the strongest step-up authentication policies available through the One Time Password security feature.
* Uses two-factor authentication, including challenge questions to verify the user’s identity.


Authentication

For authentication to be successful the user need to prove two things:knowledge and possession of a secret. Readily available out of the box authentication methods that can be used for strong authentication and can be chained along with along with Adaptive Risk scoring for multi-factor authentication. Methods such as the use of JDBC, LDAP, Active Directory, Facebook or Google logins, OTP via SMS/Email, SecureID and more.

* Offers the ability to customize and extend your authentication requirements
* Develop custom authentication modules, post authentication modules, or scripts to extend client-side or server-side authentication
* Provides client application programming interfaces with REST, Java and C APIs


Two-Factor Authentication

* 2-factor authentication enabled using a mobile phone, hardware token, biometric device, as a second factor, a requirement for highly sensitive applications and sites
* Out of the box standard-based solutions such as OATH and HOTP allow use of a mobile phone as a second factor by generating SMS or SOFT-TOKEN
* Extensible to 3rd party services providing a second factor or identity proofing is configurable as part the authentication approval chain


Adaptive Authentication

* Fraud prevention feature assesses risks during the authentication process to determine whether to require the user to present additional credentials
* Configurable using a scoring algorithm that calculates a risk score based on an IP address range, geographic location, device fingerprint, account idle time, etc., and apply to the authentication request.

One Time Password (OTP)

One-Time Passwords (OTP) is a password that can be only used one time. Comparing to regular passwords OTP is considered safer since the password keeps on changing, meaning that it isn’t vulnerable against replay attacks. When it comes to authentication mechanisms, usually OTP is used as an additional authentication mechanism (hence OTP is commonly referred to as two factor authentication/second factor authentication/step-up authentication).

* The main/first authentication step is still using regular passwords
* Adaptive risk process
* Second authentication factor (OTP)

The MayFlower

The Mayflower was the ship that transported the first English Separatists, known today as the Pilgrims, from Plymouth to the New World in 1620. There were 102 passengers, and the crew is estimated to have been about 30, but the exact number is unknown. This voyage has become an iconic story in some of the earliest annals of American history, with its story of death and of survival in the harsh New England winter environment.

The Pilgrims

Human migration in search of freedom and new life. History tells the plight of the Mayflower immigrants in 1620 that will define the United States of America today. The first Pilgrims in America were nearly defeated by the harsh conditions they faced when they arrived in New England.
