On or before June 8, 2013, Google implemented the cache.google network to improve Internet surfing from most Android phones registered to Android phone users via gmail.
This may also apply to computers that use the Googleplus portal.
I discovered this when using the os.monitor app, the google mapper in it spat out a map of the Whitehorse, Yukon location for the IP address two zero nine dot fifty two dot one eighty nine dot eighty eight & its address written as words substituting for digits 0-9 to reduce IP address traffic from crackerjack botnets.
Great job, Google! My Zte Grand X View is totally protected by your proxy server, thanks to my provider's alliance with your global network - a joint Telus-Google venture, no doubt.
Even your YouTube app is awaiting your command to stream content suggested by my viewing habits.
NB: no evil done. The paranoid sysadmin was just overly paranoid of the ubiquity of the global cache-google server farm. Its purpose is to speed up the network using local mirros of everything they cache.
If you want to tap into it, and have a knowledge of how to do so, add the Google OpenDNS enabled DNS server at 8.8.8.8. However I am not responsibility for any loss of connectivity.
YMMV

"The country in which you live is divine, no matter where you live."
"The country in which you live is divine, no matter where you live."
This is the essence of Japanese thought, though nationalism and radical right-wing thought corrupted this essential Japanese sentiment.
Likewise, according to legend, the ancestry of all Japanese is divine. We are all descended from the gods (kami), and sometimes the kami can be whimsical. Hence eccentric Japanese who hole up in their parents' homes could just be touched by the gods.
This is why the Japanese born in the Americas are loyal to the countries in which they were born, especially so in Brazil where they became Brazilians to the point of assimilating into the culture.
This is also true of Peru where a Japanese-born Peruvian became head of state.
However, if you are Japanese, once you study Japan, then Japan becomes the only divine land. This is not always the case, and could be why Japanese right-wing nationalists look down upon the Japanese diasphora born in other lands.
And I seriously doubt that if a person of Japanese origin was born in a country other than in Japan, who rose to prominence, would be ignored in Japanese news today.

Time to End War on Drugs
Endorsement of the Global Commission on Drug Policy report led Carter to feel safe to weigh in on the failed war on drugs.
Though here in Canada, since PM Harper got tough on drugs, drug crime led to more deaths as less drugs got into the country.
The scarce supply of drugs led to gang rivalry to control the shrinking market.
This talk of ending the war on drugs in the US began with Avaaz's campaign that showed the UN the public support for an end to the war on drugs.
Though anti-drug officials may be in denial:
"Drug addiction is a disease that can be successfully prevented and treated. Making drugs more available — as this report suggests — will make it harder to keep our communities healthy and safe," Office of National Drug Control Policy spokesman Rafael Lemaitre said.
Contrary to Lemaitre's statements, drug use didn't rise in Switzerland after drug use was decriminalized and made a health issue.
Portugal's decriminalization saved lives from opiate addiction.
Locally in Vancouver, the InSite program reduced both health issues involving heroin and related drug crime.
With ex US presidents and other politicians giving pro and con opinions about ending the drug war, let's hope they'll listen to reason.

Globalism May Mitigate Racial Diversity's Influence On Racism
Racial diversity may encourage racism when nationalism blinds onself to pan-Asian-ism.
For when one opens one's eyes to the East, one's world becomes greater than the West.
Consequently you may have the whole world in your hand.
Indeed, if one is blinded to globalism, then one is very small indeed.
Thus do I believe it needs to be said again:
"Think globally, act locally!"
