Internet Privacy And Anonymity Expert Says Recent Reports Illustrate Greater Need To Use Privacy Software
Internet Privacy And Anonymity Expert Says Recent Reports Illustrate Greater Need To Use Privacy Software
Undisclosed Location, South America (PRWEB) June 08, 2013
On June 5th this year, The Guardian published a top secret court order they had obtained somehow.. The top secret order they had obtained forces Verizon to hand over specific data on the telephone calls of all their customers.There was a non-disclosure paragraph included, records for a 90 day period were to be collected, but the order didn’t include the contents of the communications. The following day, The Washington Post exposed the PRISM program, a program that claims to give the NSA direct access to no less than 9 of the top internet companies servers. Service providers like Google, Yahoo!, and Facebook were implicated, though all the providers denied any knowledge of the program. Globally, the public knee-jerk reaction was outrage at the revelation that any government agency would so blatantly invade a constitutionally guaranteed right to privacy. The NSA has been recording almost everyone, virtually everywhere.
But, according to Michael Maxstead, the CEO of VPNReviewz, “The revelations of the last few days are just the tip of the secret surveillance iceberg. Because the real question surrounding these disclosures isn’t ‘Why was it done?’ The questions that should, (and probably will be,) be asked are ‘How often has it been done, and to whom?´ Maxstead asserts that there are many more surveillance programs, both in the government and private sector, “It’s to the point that corporations and governments are trying to, (or do,) know every little thing about the entire population of the earth, not just the terrorists, hackers, scammers, and other percieved threats.” Then he says that there are ways that a person can communicate “discreetly, and in complete privacy”…at least on the internet.
His website, VPNReviewz rates and analyzes privacy and anonymity software, services, and providers, and according to the CEO, “People may not be able to keep the government from obtaining their phone records, or corporations from taking photos of them in public areas, but there are ways to keep internet activities from being spied on.” He explains that a VPN, (Virtual Private Network,) would encrypt all traffic to and from a computer communicating on the internet. “Even if the data stream is intercepted and copied by a anyone, it would be garbled and unusable, unless the decryption key is provided,” he says.
“Increasingly, governments and private sector corporations are crossing the line with privacy intrusive programs. Secret blanket warrants from secret court proceedings, using rather loose interpretations of regulations and laws, and repeated requests for back-door access to records by government agencies, all have become almost commonplace,” Maxstead says, then continues, “and until now, the people that have been reporting that virtually everyone, everywhere, were being watched, tracked, and recorded, were called crackpots, and their accusations and reports were dismissed as paranoid delusions by most.”
Maxstead points out that though there has been a lot of bloggers and smaller media outlets that repeatedly report on these invasive programs and mis-conduct, but that “The mainstream media outlets, tend to avoid these types of scandals.” As to the reason he believes the mainstream media has avoided such exposure, he said “Anything I say on that subject would be pure speculation,” but then notes that it was only after the public uproar over the documents that exposed the PRISM program and the blanket collection order of Verizon customer data that other mainstream media outlets picked upon it.
“These public revelations served to illustrate the increased necessity of using VPNs and other privacy software,” he said. Maxstead claims that in the past he has been accused of being overly paranoid about government spying. “But these disclosures really drive home the point that there has never been a greater need for people to protect their privacy.” he says, then ends with, “There was a day that a personal privacy was sacred to the government, but now the only ones protecting an individuals rights to privacy, is the individual.”

Nevada Bowhunters can Learn Strategies for Safety and Success Online at bowhunter-ed.com/nevada
Nevada Bowhunters can Learn Strategies for Safety and Success Online at bowhunter-ed.com/nevada
Carson City, NV (PRWEB) June 06, 2013
A new online bowhunter education course is designed to help Nevada bowhunters improve their skills. Bowhunter-ed.com/nevada, which is an official course of the National Bowhunter Education Foundation, teaches bow shooting basics, different methods of bowhunting, and shot placement and recovery techniques.
“Offering bowhunter education online makes a lot of sense because we have a small number of instructors and many Nevada towns are spread out,” said John McKay, outdoor education coordinator for the Nevada Department of Wildlife. “An online option provides convenience for our students plus it allows us to offer more classes.”
The new Nevada-approved online bowhunter education course allows students over the age of 12 to study for free, paying only when they pass the course. Bowhunter-ed.com/nevada also is mobile friendly so students can take the course on a smartphone, tablet, laptop or Internet TV. Bowhunter-ed.com features easy-to-understand instructions as well as detailed illustrations and instructional videos and animations to help students become better, more prepared bowhunters.
To complete Nevada’s hunter education requirements, students also must attend a final bowhunter education class. To take the Nevada-approved bowhunter education course, visit http://www.bowhunter-ed.com/nevada.
While bowhunter education isn’t a requirement for Nevada bowhunters, several other states and provinces do require bowhunter education. Bowhunter-ed.com/nevada will satisfy the bowhunter education requirements mandated by the following states and provinces:
Alaska
Connecticut
Idaho
Maine
Montana
Nebraska
New Brunswick
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New York
Nova Scotia
Quebec
Rhode Island
South Dakota
Vermont
“While summer hasn’t officially started, bowhunting seasons in Nevada and many other states will open in a few months,” said Marilyn Bentz, executive director of the National Bowhunter Education Foundation. “If you’re planning to hunt Nevada’s pronghorn and mule deer archery seasons or are planning to bowhunt in a state requiring a bowhunter education certificate, you would be wise to take the course now. Then you can dedicate the rest of the summer to practicing your shooting.”
About the National Bowhunter Education Foundation
The NBEF and its network of 5,000 volunteer instructors work hard to ensure the future of bowhunting. Each year thousands of committed volunteers donate their time and financial means to bowhunter education throughout the world. The core curriculum of the program remains standardized throughout all 50 states and numerous foreign countries.

VoIPReview.org Reveals the Top 5 Ways That Nonprofits Can Benefit From Using VoIP
VoIPReview.org Reveals the Top 5 Ways That Nonprofits Can Benefit From Using VoIP
(PRWEB) June 02, 2013
Nonprofits are out there helping the masses, feeding the poor, helping veterans get on their feet, and many other good deeds. You name the cause, and there’s a nonprofit helping out. Which is why they deserve a little help themselves in terms of saving money.
VoIP is the cheapest phone service on the market. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) allows users to make and receive phone calls using the Internet. VoIP users can make or receive these phone calls using their computer, smartphone, an IP phone, or a softphone.
Internet calling is perfect for nonprofits because VoIP plans are cheap to buy and come with an abundant amount of useful features. Nonprofits are all about saving the world. With VoIP, they can save some money, too. Therefore, VoIP Review is revealing the top 5 ways that nonprofits can benefit from using VoIP.
1. Free Long-Distance Calling
Nearly all business VoIP providers offer free unlimited nationwide calling. Calling over the Internet instead of landlines circumvents pricy telephone wires and telephone poles, which is why VoIP calls don’t rake up long distance fees or interstate fees. Nonprofits need the freedom to call partners, donors, and clients without the fear of extra fees and charges on the monthly bill. The more money saved on the bill, the more money the nonprofit can spend on the people they’re trying to help.
2. Unlimited International Calling
One of the best things about business VoIP is its cheap international calling capabilities. Internet calling is far cheaper and easier to send overseas versus traditional calling. This is perfect for nonprofits that have international offices. With hosted VoIP extensions, nonprofits can keep a main office phone number that connects to both international and local extensions. Even if the VoIP provider does not offer unlimited international calling, Internet calling is always cheap enough for providers to offer cheap international rates at a few pennies a minute.
3. Free Features to Suit Nonprofit Needs
Nearly all business VoIP providers offer users important free features like the auto attendant feature. The auto attendant connects callers to the right extensions automatically, thereby saving the nonprofit from paying an additional worker like a secretary to connect the calls. VoIP providers offer a lot of other features to fit nonprofit needs, like 3-way calling, call forwarding, and voicemail. Many business VoIP providers also offer mobile VoIP apps that workers can download to their laptops, tablets, and smartphones. No matter where nonprofit workers go, they can take cheap VoIP with them.
4. IP Faxing
Sometimes nonprofit workers are out in the field and away from a fax machine when they need it. That’s why IP faxing is such a handy tool. IP faxing allows users to send and receive faxes through the Internet. This is a quick and easy way to get important information, like medical records or safety procedures, out to workers in the field.
5. Green Technology for Better Savings
VoIP uses a lot of “green” technology, which aids the environment and keeps costs low. For instance, IP faxing cuts down on paper and ink. VoIP calls reduce the need for copper telephone wires and other expensive traditional phone equipment, which cuts down on eventual waste in landfills. Furthermore, Internet calling is excellent for remote workers. From mobile VoIP to IP faxing, VoIP helps nonprofits stay connected to their remote workers while reducing air pollution and utility costs.
There are nonprofits out there full of people who care enough to help others. VoIP helps these nonprofits so they can spend less time worrying about their bills, and can spend more time focusing on helping the masses.
