The 2,996 Project has organized bloggers across the Internet for the purpose of remembering the victims of 9/11. This project is an annual endeavor, with thousands of bloggers remembering the 2,996 victims of the 9/11 Terrorist Attack against the United States of America each year. This year, the person I will be remembering is a fellow Navy man. In this post, in addition to celebrating the life of Edward Thomas Earhart, I also wish to extend my thoughts, sympathy, condolences, and words of love to the family and friends of Petty Officer Earhart, who passed away on September 11, 2001, in The Pentagon.
Aerographer's Mate First Class Edward Thomas Earhart was 26 years old when the 9/11 attack against America happened. He was serving in the United States Navy, and was at The Pentagon when a plane flew into the building at 9:37 am. 184 innocent souls perished in that attack on The Pentagon, their lives stopped short in a senseless terrorist attack against the United States.
A celebration of who Edward was is best relayed by his sister, Andrea Stauter, who wrote: "Ed was an aerographer mate 1st class, the naval rank for a meteorologist, at the Naval Ice Center. He would go before the Joint Chiefs of Staff and help give a briefing on where the aircraft carriers would be. He had to know where the ship was going and follow very precise formulas to figure out historically how thick the ice would be at different times of the year. He learned about icebergs during a year's study on a Coast Guard cutter that went all around the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. They had a sign in the office, 'Loose lips sink ships and so do icebergs.' It was an unusual interest but he loved it. He had a picture of an iceberg for a screen saver on his computer."
Edward obviously felt honored to be able to serve his country in the United States Navy, and enjoyed every moment of his service. As a Petty Officer First Class he was the sixth rank up in the enlisted ranks, a rapid feat for someone of only 26 years old. That tells me that he was also an exceptional sailor, and a superior Naval Petty Officer. He, no doubt, touched the lives of everyone he encountered with his excellent military bearing, and hard working nature.
God Bless Edward Thomas Earhart.
We Shall Never Forget.

Security in all walks of life is essential for peace of mind. Security on the Internet is becoming more and more critical every day because of the increased amount and intelligence of ‘newborn’ hackers. Web hosting security is essential, especially if you have a website that sells products, and logs people’s details on your system. Remember, if your login details are compromised, then all of the login details that have been entered into your site are compromised. If this happens, all of their financial details will be compromised.
Hackers target [url=http://webhostingreview.info/]web hosts[/url] because there is huge money in the industry if the hackers compromise the right person’s details. Hundreds of login details can hold thousands of websites, thousands of websites have millions of people’s details on them, and millions of peoples details are worth billions of pounds, therefore, when there are billions of pounds involved, there will always be people that try and gain a highly illegal advantage.
Understanding the potential problems with security and viruses for your [url=http://webhostingreview.info/]web hosting[/url] system is essential to stopping any problems. This is an element that you need to make sure you read up on, as not reading up on this information can lead to your downfall.
One of the ways to stop leaving a trace of your actions on your system is to buy some secure third party software that safely gets rid of your information you no longer require. Many companies and individuals alike think that wiping your cookies and your hard drive may be enough to stop potential hackers. Hackers have advanced techniques that can recover your information even if you have wiped it from your system, therefore, having the best third party software is essential to block out even the most advanced of hackers.
Viruses are one of the few downfalls of the computer and the Internet industry. Trojans are one of the most circulated viruses and one of the most dangerous to your system. Not only are they the most dangerous but they are one of the hardest to eliminate. A Trojan installs on your system, and allows the hacker to have access to your computer; this can then allow them to install a keylogger which is dangerous to a web host. A keylogger allows the hacker to see every key that you are pressing; this means your web hosting login details will be seen the next time you login to your system. Remember, this is just one of the viruses that can compromise your web host, there are plenty of others, and they are not terribly pleasant either.
To make sure none of the above takes place, you need to protect your system. In life if you are in danger, then you do not just sit back and do nothing. Buying third party software to protect your web hosting package is a must, especially if you take card details as a form of payment. Also, making sure you use a web host that has some of the best security features online is another must for your web host company.
