When you want something large and exceptional, the Invicta Pro Diver Chronograph 200M 0076 Men's Watch fits the bill! Bold and considerably huge, it might not be the largest wrist watch around, but it is pretty close. The Invicta Pro Diver Chronograph Men's Watch is a black beauty to be truthful. It's the black ion-plating on surgical stainless steel that gives it the sleek looks while the unique Flame-fusion crystal with a date-magnifier window covering the dial brings the watch a shining appearance. Surrounding the crystal is a rotating bottle-cap edged bezel with white minute-markers, which also acts as a countdown timer, not just for diving but for anything that you may like. The Tritnite lume-coated silver toned hands and markings offer a sharp contrast maximising visibility for a clear viewing both under bright light and in the dark. The INVICTA logo is etched into the left side of the case, adding further to the aesthetic appeal of the Invicta Pro Diver Chronograph 200M Men's Watch. The stern look comes from the absence of numerals on the dial; it's just raised bold dots except at 12' o clock, where the Invicta logo has been placed. The chapter ring around the dial comprise the seconds-markers while the date window is at 4:00. As for the subdials, the regular seconds are shown at the 3'o clock position, while the hour subdial is placed at 6:00. The minute subdial is at 9:00 while the central seconds hand measures the chrono seconds. It's the Swiss Ronda 5030.D Quartz Chronograph movement that makes counting time till 12 hours at a stretch. The Invicta Pro Diver Chronograph 200M 0076 Watch has an amazing water resistance! You can take it under 600 feet of water without any worry, which makes it a serious divers' watch. At other times, it makes for a perfect watch for casual wearing and land sports purposes - even camping outdoors and hiking; it's the attractive, high-quality design that makes it possible. The band of the Invicta Specialty Chronograph 200M 0076 Men's Watch is made from two-tone PVD-coated stainless steel with interplay between darker and lighter shades. It keeps the monotonous feel away while subduing any unwanted and unpleasant contrast. However, the Invicta Aviator Chronograph 200M 0076 Men's Watch is not meant for feeble wrists; its sheer size needs at least a medium sized wrist to rest upon.

Watch boxes are crafted from wood and leather and they are attractive-looking. They usually come with padded interiors and several slots for more than one watch. If you do not have a watch box, you should purchase one. If you leave the watch in a drawer, it can get scratched. You should also avoid wearing your watch in situations where it is likely to get damaged. For example, if you like to work on your car or make repairs around the house, you should not wear a fine watch. If you follow these tips, your luxury watches will last you a long time.

Politics: Weighing Security Against Liberties

id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> Politics: Weighing security against liberties By John Borland and Lisa Bowman Staff Writer, CNET News.com August 27, 2002, 4:00 a.m. PT SAN FRANCISCO--Earlier this year, a few California scuba divers found out just how far the long arm of the law can reach since Sept. 11. Federal agents concerned about scuba-related terrorist plans requested the entire database of the Professional Association of Diving Instructors. Unbeknownst to most of its members, the organization voluntarily handed over a list of more than 100,000 certified divers worldwide, explaining later that it wanted to avoid an FBI subpoena that would have required far more information to be disclosed. Cindy Cohn, an attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a diver listed in the database, was livid after learning of the incident. Such concerns resonate with particular volume in this liberal city where the EFF is based, which has a long history of protesting government intrusion. "You participated in creating an FBI file on me and all the rest of your customers, loyal Americans who have done nothing wrong and who now face the process of increased surveillance by virtue of the fact that we did business with you," Cohn wrote in a letter to the Southern California-based divers association. Since Sept. 11, databases containing information on tens of thousands of ordinary people have found their way into the hands of federal investigators hungry for any scraps of data that might serve as leads in terrorism investigations. Grocery shopping lists, travel records and information from other, more public databases have all been caught in the government's antiterrorism net. In this security-conscious climate, it seems that no activity is off limits to government inspection--and with good cause, many would say. After all, [http://jevois.org/qa/index.php?qa=user&qa_1=frogbee5 http://jevois.org/qa/index.php?qa=user&qa_1=frogbee5] no one predicted that flight school students would bring down the World Trade Center towers, and few would advocate withholding information that could prevent another terrorist attack. Polls show that many people are willing to tolerate increased surveillance, higher encryption standards and other measures for the sake of security. But civil libertarians worry that the increased investigative powers granted since the attacks, and people's eagerness to comply with them, have needlessly entangled innocent citizens and threaten to undermine constitutional rights to privacy and free speech. Even without explicit limitations, some say that fear of reprisal may have a chilling effect on public behavior. Either way, those on all sides of the issue agree that the country has undergone changes both psychological and practical, perhaps as subtle as a reluctance to visit an Islamic Web site or as obvious as federal legislation seeking broader online surveillance by law enforcement authorities. While civil libertarians decry the changes, however, their warnings aren't being widely embraced. "People pretty readily let go of privacy concerns as soon as security is involved," said Jonathan Zittrain, co-director of Harvard University Law School's Berkman Center for Internet and Society. "To the extent that the concern about privacy is a concern about abuse of information by the government...what is the greater threat, terrorism or a government run amok? People are generally going to say terrorism." Ironically, despite its libertarian roots, the Internet has arguably hastened that shift. Given the proliferation of log files and massive customer databases, combined with easy access to controversial sites and other information, the Net has accelerated the debate over electronic information and terrorism. Perhaps most worrisome to Arab Americans and privacy advocates, the FBI has proposed easing 1970s-era restrictions that prevent them from spying on people based solely on political activities. Under the new guidelines, agents would be able to mine publicly available databases even if they aren't conducting a specific investigation, carrying out what civil liberties activists worry would be a digital fishing expedition producing nothing but massive amounts of irrelevant data. Information on exactly what databases have been tapped is scarce, but some instances have come to light: An informal poll conducted by the Boston Globe and the Privacy Council consultancy found that 64 percent of travel-related and transportation companies had given federal investigators access to customer or employee data after Sept. 11. Only 14 percent of those companies informed customers of their actions. Privacy Council CEO Larry Poneman said in a recent interview that an unnamed supermarket chain had given shopping club card records to federal investigators. Lexis/Nexis, the massive database containing news articles, legal filings and public records of all kinds, says it is working more closely with law enforcement on several fronts since last September, including "authentication" of individuals' identity. Civil libertarians complain that federal authorities are giving little to no indication of how this information is being used. A recent attempt by several congressmen to obtain a report on how the new legal tools were being used in investigations was rebuffed by the Justice Department, which asked for more time to answer their detailed questions. "It's very important that that information be disclosed," said David Sobel, general counsel of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a group that helped bring the FBI's use of Net monitoring tools to light for the first time with its Freedom of Information Act requests. EPIC, along with the American Civil Liberties Union and the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, filed on Aug. 21 its own Freedom of Information Act request for details on how Patriot Act powers are being used. "There aren't yet any answers," Sobel said. Nor is it clear what online behavior might be considered suspicious--and some believe that Internet service providers, companies and organizations may take unduly severe actions on their own in erring on the side of caution. Overzealous network managers, for example, could arbitrarily restrict certain communication or access to some Web sites, just as they often block pornography or filter e-mail that contains obscenities. More spying or same as it ever was? Much of the security-vs.-privacy debate has centered on legislation enacted quickly after the September attacks, the turgidly named "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act." The American Civil Liberties Union called it a far-reaching law that badly undermined privacy and judicial oversight. Many of the nation's largest newspapers editorialized against the measure as reactionary. Nine months later, however, many judicial experts are playing down initial fears over the legislation's severity. A law review article scheduled for publication early next year by former Justice Department attorney Orrin Kerr provides one of the first detailed analyses of the so-called Patriot Act that compares it to previous investigative practices. "The law is a lot more balanced than people thought," Kerr said, adding that it does little to change the way authorities do their jobs. "The government ended up introducing a law that didn't really take any major steps." At its core, the Patriot Act explicitly spells out new rules under which authorities can monitor online communications such as e-mail or Web surfing. As was the case with wiretapping or other surveillance, agents must get judicial permission to obtain more information. Under the law, authorities can obtain information such as where e-mail was sent or originated, and at what time. Roughly analogous to reading an envelope but not the letter inside, this means no court order is needed. If agents want to monitor an Internet service account to determine when messages are sent, they need a judge's permission but with relatively little justification. If agents seek the contents of a missive, which would include such elements as the body and subject line of an e-mail, they would need a court order requiring a much higher level of justification, legal experts say. Although new, these laws mirror previously secret court decisions on FBI attempts to install high-tech spying equipment, according to Kerr and lawyers representing ISPs. ISPs are reluctant to discuss surveillance details, citing national security concerns. But they do say that surveillance requests have increased since last September, though their extent is difficult to gauge. "There has been some upswing, but it's not very significant," said Mike Harrad, a spokesman for Road Runner, Time Warner's cable Net service. "The view here is that the increase in requests has probably more to do with the more vigilant approach taken by enforcement agencies in the post-9/11 world than it has to do with the Patriot Act per se." Others are more concerned. "In some instances, law enforcement is being aggressive in interpreting USA Patriot to go beyond what was intended," says Stewart Baker, a Washington attorney who represents ISPs. Baker and other ISP sources say some law enforcement agents make requests for records of subscribers' past communications--for which no court order is needed--so frequently that it has nearly amounted to real-time information. For instance, agencies might request information about a subscriber several times a day or more, instead of seeking a week's worth of log files. Authorities hitting the books Libraries also have concerns about the Patriot Act, particularly provisions that lower the standards for obtaining patron records. Under one portion of the law, federal agents need only a search warrant--which requires immediate release of the records--and no longer have to show that they might find evidence of a crime. What's more, the process is now secret. The court that approves these searches holds closed sessions, and librarians face prosecution if they disclose information about the inquiry to anyone, including the subject of the investigation. For years, many libraries have had electronic systems that delete checkout records after a few weeks. But information about people who have books checked out and those who owe fines are kept in the database until they return the books or pay the fees. Of 1,026 libraries surveyed by the American Library Association earlier this year, 85--or 8.3 percent--had received Sept. 11-related requests for records from government agents. "If you use libraries, whatever you take out is information that could be demanded by the FBI," ALA President Mitch Freedman said. "The library user is just one small person who's been impacted by this dramatic expansion of investigative powers." The FBI and other law enforcement organizations declined to comment on any details regarding terrorism-related investigations. But comments made by officials in public have heightened concerns among civil liberties groups. On a recent trip to San Francisco, John Frazzini, a special agent with the Electronic Crimes Branch of the Secret Service, pleaded with companies to cooperate more fully in online investigations and report break-ins. He also warned of new crackdowns on hackers. "If you're a U.S. citizen and you're breaking into computer networks, not only are you criminal but I think you're unpatriotic," he said. Although they do not know of any prosecutions based on post-Sept. 11 changes, defense attorneys say they are already seeing their effects in other ways. Jennifer Granick, a defense attorney and director for Stanford University's Center for Internet and Society, said she and her colleagues have noticed that judges and juries are far more wary of hackers than they have been in years and are enforcing existing laws more actively. "They hear you're a hacker, and in this post-9/11 climate, they just get scared," Granick said, adding that technologists and hackers who point out legitimate security concerns risk getting caught in law enforcement's new web. She points to a case in Los Angeles, in which a man faced criminal charges after posting information on a Web site that pointed out insecurities in some e-mail software and offered a repair. The man was convicted under a federal computer break-in law and is awaiting sentencing. "We are dismantling the checks and balances and basically letting government have a free-for-all," Granick said. "It may get uglier before it gets better." Day 3 - Lessons: Networks as lifelines WASHINGTON--Just over a year ago, a powerful legion of U.S. politicians strove to limit government surveillance of e-mail. Then came Sept. 11. Politicians endorsing privacy have since become scarce, losing the high ground to their pro-security counterparts, and laws previously unthinkable have been enacted with little dissent. The abrupt change on Capitol Hill occurred with astonishing rapidity. Two days after jets crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, a pair of events took place that set the trajectory for the next year of debate over the future of technology, privacy and surveillance. First, the Senate veered in exactly the opposite direction as the House did one year before. By a unanimous vote, the Senate approved a bill authorizing the FBI to use its Carnivore Net-surveillance system without obtaining a court order. The sponsors of the Combating Terrorism Act argued that it was necessary to thwart future terrorist strikes. "It is essential that we give our law enforcement authorities every possible tool to search out and bring to justice those individuals who have brought such indiscriminate death," Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said during the bill's floor debate. The second event was a Sept. 13 floor speech by Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., who called for a global prohibition on encryption products without backdoors for government surveillance. "This is something that we need international cooperation on and we need to have movement on in order to get the information that allows us to anticipate and prevent what occurred in New York and in Washington," Gregg said. His speech came at a time when privacy and national security, long at odds, had reached an uneasy detente, with privacy gaining ground. In response to business pressure and the reality of encryption embedded into everything from Linux to Internet protocols, the Clinton administration had chopped away most regulations intended to limit crypto dissemination. As a measure of how suddenly the political winds have shifted from protecting business interests to protecting national security, consider this: Gregg has won 100 percent ratings from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Business. Yet the balance of power has not shifted entirely in favor of law enforcement. Gregg's hope for crypto restrictions--which drew applause from newspaper editorialists and some conservative activists--was defeated by an immediate outcry and mobilization by researchers, businesses and consumer activists. "What's changed is a massive expansion of authority for the government to engage in all sorts of searches and surveillance, particularly electronic surveillance," says Barry Steinhardt, associate director of the American Civil Liberties Union. Law enforcement has sought, and in some cases won, new measures that expand investigative powers in the wake of Sept. 11. Here's a roundup. What: Cyber Security Enhancement Act When: July 2002 Status: Passed the House What it does: Would allow for life sentences for hackers; would allow police to obtain suspects' telephone numbers, IP addresses, URLs or e-mail header information--but not the contents of messages--without a court order in the case of an "ongoing attack" on an Internet-connected computer or "an immediate threat to a national security interest." What: TIPS program When: July 2002 Status: Proposed by White House What it does: Would create a group of volunteer citizens who would report suspicious activity. Volunteers could come from the ranks of mail carriers and cable technicians. Information may be kept in a database. What: FBI reorganization When: May 2002 Status: In the works What it does: Makes cybercrime a new priority, creates a Cyber Division and devotes more agents to tech-related issues. What: Loosening regulations on information gathering When: May 2002 Status: Proposed by Dept. of Justice and FBI What it does: Would allow agents to frequent public places, such as mosques and libraries, and mine publicly available databases for suspicious activity, even if they're not conducting a specific investigation. What: USA Patriot Act When: October 2001 Status: Law What it does: Gives law enforcement officials expanded powers to monitor suspected terrorists and criminals by, among other things, lowering judicial oversight of monitoring tactics, increasing information sharing among agencies, broadening the definition of a terrorist, and increasing the amount of information agents can seek from ISPs.

Elon Musk Asked Eco Group Chief To Help Defend Him On Twitter

id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> Elon Musk Tesla When Elon Musk made donations to Republicans, disapproval flooded in on Twitter. So he turned to the head of environmental group Sierra Club for help. Musk called Sierra Club executive director Michael Brune over the weekend and asked him to make public the Tesla CEO's more than $6 million donations to the group that were previously anonymous, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing Brune's email to his staff. Musk also asked Brune to vouch for him after drawing fire over the past week for having contributed nearly $39,000 to a pro-Republican group in the second quarter. Brune is now "dealing with blow-back" from Sierra Club staff who aren't happy that he acceded to Musk's request, Bloomberg reported. Brune had tweeted three times on Twitter over the weekend -- twice from his personal account and once from Sierra Club's -- commending Musk and his "innovation and leadership on climate [change]" and said Sierra Club is "proud" to have his support. We're proud of Elon's support of our work. -- and, we will continue vigorously fighting the climate deniers in the GOP. But Elon's innovation and leadership on climate cannot be denied. — Michael Brune (@bruneski) July 15, 2018 There have got to be better topics of debate than whether @elonmusk is committed to climate action. He has dedicated his career to the mission of replacing fossil fuels with clean energy & has strongly backed the Sierra Club's advocacy work. We are proud to have his support. — Sierra Club (@SierraClub) July 15, 2018 While Brune disagreed with concerns that the tweets "may be at odds with [the group's] support for workers' rights and defeating the GOP agenda," he said he took them seriously given Musk's history of making "unhelpful anti-union statements and Tesla's labour practices." The revelation emerged around the same time Musk drew flak for calling a British diver who helped rescue 12 boys and their soccer coach from a flooded cave a "pedo guy," though he eventually heeded advice from investors and apologised. The diver was reportedly considering legal action against Musk following the offending tweet. "Elon has spent most of his career fighting to prevent climate change and protect the environment. Almost every major carmaker in the world is accelerating development of electric cars primarily because of what Elon and his team have achieved with Tesla," a spokesperson for Musk told CNET in an email. "He has also made significant philanthropic contributions to organizations seeking to end the use of fossil fuels, including $6 million to the Sierra Club. Elon is committed to backing the Sierra Club in its fight for clean energy and recently asked them to make his support public to reaffirm the sincerity of his commitment," the spokesperson added.
