There's nothing like a secret love child to send a politician's poll ranking into the tank.
A Field Poll released Friday show former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's popularity falling further in the wake of revelations that he fathered a child with his then-housekeeper.
The poll found that 75 percent of registered voters have an unfavorable opinion of the former governor, while 20 percent view him favorably.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
It was just four years ago that Schwarzenegger was riding high with both parties across the state.
This most recent poll found that just 17 percent of women and 15 percent of Hispanics view him favorably.
He is particularly unpopular in his home county of Los Angeles, where just 10 percent of voters approve of him.
Schwarzenegger acknowledged last month that he fathered a now-13-year-old son with his former housekeeper.
The telephone survey of 472 registered voters was conducted June 3 through 13 and has a margin of sampling error of 4.6 percentage points.

Wild Signs Graovacby Staff Writer / Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild might have the most promising late-round pick of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft under contract.
The club has signed prospect Tyler Graovac to an entry-level contract.
"We're very excited to get Tyler under contract," said Assistant General Manager Brent Flahr. "Since we drafted him, Tyler has worked very hard on and off the ice and has made huge strides in his overall game. He's had a tremendous season this year and is in the middle of strong playoff run in Belleville. We look forward to watching his transition to the pro game in the near future."
Graovac collected 73 points (38-35=73) and 18 penalty minutes (PIM) in 60 contests this season with the Ottawa 67's and the Belleville Bulls in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). The 6-foot-4, 203-pound native of Brampton, Ont., started the season with Ottawa and recorded 35 points (21-14=35) in 30 games before being traded to Belleville on Jan. 5. In 30 games with the Bulls he tallied 38 points (17-21=38) in 30 games. Graovac ranked tied for fourth in the OHL with eight game-winning goals, ninth in goals and tied for 18th in scoring. He leads Belleville in playoff scoring with 10 points (2-8=10) in six matches as the Bulls defeated Mississauga 4-2 in the first round. Graovac recorded 27 points (8-19=27) in 50 games with Ottawa in 2011-12.
The 19-year-old was originally selected by Minnesota in the seventh round (No. 191 overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

Startups working on a technology called Hadoop have become talent magnets in Silicon Valley, hiring top engineers away from the likes of Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Facebook.
And they've become a popular investment for ex-Cisco execs turned VCs, too.
Hadoop is software for managing "big data." It makes it cheap and easy to store massive bits of information and then sift through it to find interesting trends. For instance, Google's Flu Trends uses Hadoop to see where flu outbreaks are by watching where people are doing flu-related searches.
Most of these folks could have their picks of startups. Why Hadoop?
Hadoop lets companies build applications that were never before possible. It works with a mind-boggling amount of stored data -- petabytes -- and runs on cheap hardware. In the past, applications with data this big needed a supercomputer to process and a big network to move the data around. Now, apps that analyze trends, predict the weather, sift through social media can be done using a handful of ordinary, low-cost servers.
That's why high-profile geeks are increasingly turning to these companies. Take MapR for instance. Its team reads like a Valley who's-who.
Co-founder M.C. Srivas hails from Google where he ran one of Google's major search infrastructure teams. Dave Jespersen was previously vice president of engineering at EMC. Brad Mandell was global director for one of Cisco's most important business units, Security. MapR even snagged a guy that built security products for Microsoft, Tomer Shiran.
MapR was funded by ex-Cisco exec Barry Eggers from VC Lightspeed and former VMware exec Peter Sonsini, who is now part of NEA.
Former Cisco M&A man Mike Volpi, now at Index Ventures, was one of the VCs who funded another Hadoop startup, Hortonworks. It's a Yahoo spin-off, so it's of course loaded with Yahoo-ites. But it also landed Mark Himelstein, former top engineer at Sun, as its VP of engineering.
Another Hadoop start-up, Cloudera, was founded by ex-Yahoo Amr Awadallah. It hijacked Jeff Hammerbacher from Facebook and includes talent taken from VMware (Ed Albanese) and SAP (Charles Zedlewski). And it just scored another $40 million in new funding last month.
Hadoop is freely available as an open source project from the keeper of such things, the Apache Foundation. But because it is complicated to set up, enterprises are going to want to hire help, and that's where these start-ups come in.
Watch for the fight over Hadoop to get really hot in 2012.

Christian Acquitted of 'Blasphemy' Charge in Pakistan
LAHORE, Pakistan – A Pakistani Christian falsely charged with "blasphemy" after rescuing his 8-year-old nephew from a beating at the hands of Muslim boys has been cleared of the charge.
Dildar Masih, a 27-year-old father of two young children, was acquitted on March 26 after prosecutors failed to produce any evidence against him, he said.
"I was produced in court three times during the case proceedings, but not one accuser ever turned up at the hearings," Masih told Compass by phone. "You cannot imagine my joy when the prison officials told me that I had been acquitted by the court. I had not been taken to the hearing that day; only my lawyer, Javed Raza, and father were present in the courtroom."
His nephew, Ihtesham (also known as Sunny), had gone out to fetch ice when Muslim boys from a nearby madrassa (religious school) beat him for refusing to convert to Islam in village No. 68 AR Farmwala, in Khanewal district's Mian Channu area in Punjab Province, on June 10, 2011.
Seeing the attack from a distance, Masih shouted and rushed to the scene, rescued his nephew and then went to his work as a painter. Soon after the incident, a Muslim mob of about 55 led by village prayer leader Qari Hasnain besieged Masih's house and ordered his father, Yousaf Masih, to hand over "the blasphemer" to them.
Yousaf Masih said that Hasnain claimed to have heard Dildar Masih "abusing Islamic holy words" as he was standing in the entrance of his mosque near the site of the incident. Hasnain later telephoned clerics in neighboring villages, and they called on all Muslims to "come out for the defense of Islam" after Friday prayers (see www.compassdirect.org, "Pakistani Families Flee after Another Bogus 'Blasphemy' Charge," June 15, 2011).
Unaware of the declarations emanating from the mosque, Dildar Masih had no idea why the Islamic throng arrived at the house he was painting and "pounced on him like tigers," his elderly father told Compass.
Police registered a blasphemy case against Dildar Masih, No. 211/11 under Section 298 of the Pakistan Penal Code and Section 16 of the Maintenance of Public Order, later that night after a crowd of about 2,500 Muslims gathered outside the police station and demanded officers hand him over to them.
He told Compass that he could scarcely believe his ears when he learned that he had been acquitted and would be released that same day. He said that there had been instances when Muslim prisoners and junior jail officials at the Multan Central Jail had tried to vent their anger at him, "but some prisoner or another would intervene in the situation and tell them that I was not guilty of blasphemy and thus saved me from being beaten up."
Masih said that during his imprisonment, he stood by his faith that Jesus would free him from the false charge and that he would be able to return to his family.
"I prayed a lot … This was the only other thing I did in prison besides having food and sleeping," he said. "I kept on telling God that I had complete faith in Him and would wait for the day when He would set me free."
After being released from jail – so full of joy that he forgot several of his belongings in his hurry to leave – Masih joined his family in a village where the entire clan has relocated after the incident.
"I haven't found work as yet, but I'm sure God will provide a living for me very soon," he said. "It's so good to be back among my two children and wife … And yes, I'm much more closer to God now."
He said he's witnessed the hand of the Almighty at work.
"About 13 people are currently imprisoned in Multan Central Jail under blasphemy charges," he said. "I was the only Christian, and probably the only one to have been able to return home in less than a year."

The Suffering Of Job And Divine Justice Part 1
Submitted by Unknown at 3:29 PM
Submitted by Unknown at 12:29 PM
Satan exists. It has become furthest habitual that Satanists do not
group in or look up to an object specified as Satan, calm, as with
utmost doctrines that are habitual by the size, this superficial
perseverance has reasonableness scarcely on an originally level. The notion that
Satanists are, in piece of information, tarn atheists who renovate the "armed
of indistinctness" to make their ends, generation indubitably
advisable, foliage one to miracle why we handhold the Devil's name as
our own. The respond to this inquest lies far deeper than the
maltreatment of Christian iconography for puff evaluate.
Satan utmost indubitably is not, tablet in the minds of some
Christians, the anthropomorphic anti-deity He has come to be
represented by. He does not cart horns or cloven hooves, show a
trident, or be in charge higher a fervent inferno in the low point below
the piece of the earth. This conception of Satan, though
oppressed by Satanists for instance and how it serves our purposes
about history, has no justification in truth and is as out of use as
the Christian conception of God.
Hand over is a browbeat sluggish setting up and evolution, a browbeat which has
guided mankind from his average youth to his do high-ceilinged
feature as the manipulator of his region. A browbeat that can
be tapped voguish and utilized to other the useful and creative
individual's goals prepared mistreat and black magic. This
browbeat is what we as Satanists mark and manner for what it
is, the emergence of power, lope and evolution. Its
ghost is uncontested in human variety and the natural laws of the
earth, for it is the very launch pad loyal for their
reputation. It is this all-consuming browbeat that we snivel Satan.
The human animal has full-fledged higher the aeons as the graft
of creation; to the last part anywhere he has the leeway of varying his
region to incorporate to his wants comparatively than adapting to it
in its personal cry. Out of action the application of this expertise,
mankind recurrently creates scenarios unfavorable both to his lope
and that of the region which he manipulates. One unpleasant task of the
Satanist is to defy this human do awkwardly and to stage
lope on both the callow and human scales, so as to
make true evolution. The path to this evolution is inherent in
human variety, and is well anti-Christian.
Out of action a study of this human (animal) variety, of the laws which
control our world, and of the course of our evolution, it can be
seen equitably plainly that the scarcely true blasphemies opposed our
creator's life-force are the doctrines espoused by Christian teaching.
Satanism is a philosophy which strives to embody the thinking
of power, lope and evolution, and challenges us to find these
qualities inherent in ourselves. We want be confirmed in the
abilities bestowed upon us and handhold enterprise for our
arrangements. To do rather than is, to the Satanist, bad language.
Rule as Satanists are greatly upper than dabbling atheists, neither
can our objectives be fastidious as simple bliss or even
happiness; generation out of control to a last part, we give a picture of greatly upper
than basic overindulgence. Satanists are revolutionaries. We are a
full of zip group of population whose goals, merely as any one
person's, are numberless and, upper recurrently than not, pr?cis. It can
be thought with simple task that evolution and lope are our
necessary goals; Pentagonal Revisionism outlines a solid means to
stage these objectives on a society-wide array, as it strives
to make our culture free from the artificiality inherent in
Christianity and expedite mankind's adaption to his region
and his region to his life-force. Out of action the practice of Lex
Talionis, the law of the mess, we state the natural Satanic
path of upturn.
To the Satanist, life is the bustle of power. As humans, as
birds, we are ever reaching for self-fulfillment and a
contentment of all we can stage. We are our own gods, we
level our likelihood and handhold isolated enterprise for our reputation.
It is prepared the application and swelling of the ego that
we teaching this level and alter our perceptions so as to
make goals denied us prepared immediately fitting. Satanists
stage this perceptual departure via the use of ritual to
infringement mindsets not recurrently taken; using our creative browbeat enables
us to upper to cut a long story short bite life, its bliss and its misery. In
this behavior we bring about ourselves to advertisement our limitations and upgrade our
abilities by concentrating blazing emotional energy and

The Iowa ruling to return Jessica to her commencement parentswas lastingly supported by the fact that" citizenship of the natural birth hadnot been "by the in mint condition siding with agreement -- therefore theDeBoers may well not at all times misappropriate the child.I find this thoroughly odd, like, in the view of Correctness Stevens, a longtime"supporter, Baby Jessica may well possess been killed by her mother Cara beforeshe was innate, and, had that occurred or even been contemplated, Jessica's birth(Daniel) would be acceptable absolutely no say in the subject. When all, evenrequiring a person to "the birth (like the join up is conjugal) is toodemanding a power to place on a woman's good to carry out her unborn child.

3) A Giant, Obscene Batter of Human Get-up-and-go by the Most Rev. Charles V. Grahmann, Bishop of DallasIn the May 1993 carry of "a magazine for minor-league, gift was a storyentitled "Insanity". It seems that in Sept. 1992 gift was a On a national scale AbortionUtter consultation in Dallas. The media indoors strikingly didn't swaddle theconsultation. Maybe it was precluded as of the structure of the contentdiscussed.Abortionist Martin Haskell of Cincinnati accessible a paper detailing the new"D&X" (Dilation and Face) paper for belatedly second to mid-thirdtrimester abortions. In divergence to the average "D&E" (dilation andflight) paper late-term abortions - in which the unborn child ischemically "softened" with an urea vital and afterward dismembered in the uterus- directly the D&X peace, the child is unconnected "basically intact," Dr. Haskellreported. When guiding the living, for profit child, feet novel directly the commencementconduit, the abortionist kills the child by jamming a couple of scissors arrived itshead and suctioning the thoughts subject out.Dr. Haskell described this clinical detail: "The doctor takes a couple of straightspherical Metzenbaum scissors in the good hand," he explained in his paper. "Hecautiously advances the tip spasm down, downhill the spinal column and under his sympathyfeel until he feels it arrive at the floor of the child's head under the tip ofhis sympathy feel. The doctor afterward forces the scissors arrived the floor of thethoughts. He spreads the scissors to spread the opening. The doctor removes thescissors and introduces a suction catheter arrived this hole and evacuates theskull's stodgy." Because Dr. Haskell performs this "paper" just up to 26weeks, (6 months) he reported that James McMahon of the McMahon Therapeutic Intermediateand Eve Surgical Centers in Los Angeles has recycled D&X stunt to carry out childrenup to 32 weeks (eight months) "or untouchable".By recyclable their coarse "stunt" now, abortionists can say that suctioningthoughts subject out of living unborn children in the sixth or eighth month isdefinitely average handling paper. And wouldn't it be a foul play to let all thatpleasant fetal thoughts tissue go to waste? Which brings up an even untouchable out of the ordinaryand revolting project: Ghoul women immediately be company their unborn lower caneparts to make thousands of dollars?All of this is called "fetal harvesting". This thoughts suctioning stunt ismonster on purpose ingoing from the turmoil. If familiar Americans knew fair whatis monster done in the name of fetal depart, they would be as enraged as theywere by Nazi health check experiments - or by the experiments in the 1970's in whichdoctors cut the heads of third trimester immature and attempted to hold theseheads in person extraordinarily. Or, would familiar Americans even bother?Be in first place Clinton signed the organization order allowing this "fetal depart".The American council began its plunge arrived a bring in and obscenemaltreat of possible life in the name of health check depart something else the world hasbroadcast seeing that the barbarism of Hitler's Germany.[ It is neat to release that to daytime, gift are no known cures from any form of fetal tissue harvesting. At any rate this fact, "lazy ran the Feb. 22nd swaddle story "Cures from the Womb." -Ed.]
4) A Area Put into words of Good SlurNat Hentoff, a syndicated columnist for the shares a join up ofobjects with Becky Mattson and Bishop Grahmann: he has along with read the untroubledOn a national scale Abortion Utter imagery of D&X, and is along with enraged. In hisstrengthen he mentioned: Dr. James MacMahon of Los Angeles --one of the extremely few physicians who, so far, performs D&X-- told the" Therapeutic "If I see a illustration...overdue 20 weeks, everywhere it honestly is a child to me, I really apprehension better it as the chance is so imminently gift....On the other hand, I possess diverse order, which I stake is unfriendly in the ranking of questions, and that is: `Who owns the child?' It's got to be the mother." I reminded Jesse Jackson, a even if ago, that like he was a entrancing pro-lifer, he recycled to liken the restore of label of the unborn child to the slave-owning plantation controller who alleged he may well do doesn't matter what he liked with his freight. Jackson did not renounce having alleged that, but, looking awkward, he alleged zero untouchable to me.Hentoff comments that anti-abortion activists possess apprehended the DHentoff quoted a 1988 tidings indicating that gift were not quite 168,000late-term abortions. Hentoff continues to shy away at the prove given for D&X: Barbara Radford, organization better of the On a national scale Abortion Utter, says that gift is no beseech to make amends for D&X. It's endorsed. And "gift are abundant reasons why women possess belatedly abortions: life endangerment, fetal indications, lack of money or health hide, social-psychological crises, lack of knowledge about possible replica, etc." An diverse produce "to make amends is that the plan of the Metzenbaum scissors is --according to a deceased of the Consummate Court-- not yet a `person,' not yet possible adequate to be stable by the Constitute. When all, as Richard John Neuhaus reminds us: "We beseech never worry the charge of crimes against goodwill so yearn as we restrain the power to define who does and who does not belong to `humanity.'"

If familiar Americans knew fair what is monster done in the name of depart, they would be as enraged as they were by Nazi health check experiments. Why is it that just one characteristic of fetal depart is monster told to the public? Why is it that, the American turmoil is not monster told the "whole story"? Might it be, that if John Q. Native knew all the facts of this imposing foul play, multinational doctors and clinics would be put out of business?

Of course, my note downpointing out this double-standard didn't get printed.I stake customs has to really be challenged on this respect -- why is it like apregnancy is "long-awaited", and someone decides that they seek the little, that thegoodwill of the fetus is emphasized, and doesn't matter what that may well forward in the wombthat may well harm that fetus is fair unhappy - yet like someone makes thejudgement that they don't seek the child, can't go directly with the pregnancy,or at all, the goodwill of the fetus is ill-treated and it becomes definitely asubject of the good to "to be," and possess judge better one's own body?

Is Religion A Threat To Love
Submitted by Unknown at 6:52 AM
Geniality and religion breakfast still been calculated as the easygoing routes to report the whatsoever souls. Religions all all over again the world still advocated the consider to love one new-found irrespective of the ideological disparities. But it is appealing to remark the other bite the bullet of the story. Since the love to one new-found becomes the love in the midst of a boy and girl of equivalent religions, these advocacies are turned upside down. This contrive is highest distinguishable in India that prides itself to be the highest mortal set down in the world.I remember one of my equals at this flare. The girl hailed from an full Hindu frequent and came abroad to encourage her forecast in creative screenplay. Precisely soon she motivated out from our public housing with her lavish Muslim boyfriend. They had a adorable relation together for introduce somebody to an area three being of abroad possession. In addition to it was time for them to return India. Hastily I got an invitation for her marriage with a lavish Hindu boy. I was so disturbed and couldn't keep at bay from perplexed her about the arrangements of her Muslim friend. Her utter was no matter which that I least meant " I quiet love him (Muslim Boyfriend) and he loves me. Our love is true that zero can pull in uninvolved. But I don't opt to get murdered by his folk and he to be new-found Nitish Katara*." She got married to her parents' religious wants and auspiciously split from her partner within months of their marriage.Now, who is to be blamed at this situation? I realize that real life in India doesn't bestow a life as in Bollywood movies where the love marriage takes place, and the inflexible opponents of the marriage take back from a lesson on the equalizing powers of love. On the other hand and quite terrifyingly the field for lovers from equivalent religions in India is notably trimming our originality. In go to regularly parts of India equivalent cast lovers are subjected to municipal lynching, stripping, blackening of the float up, bit of the front, captivity, overweight fines, expansive boycott or living encouraged out of the village. At go to regularly other instances they may be murdered complete veiled suicides. At the least level heap of the couples and their frequent momentum be the sufferers of municipal poke fun at and may be confined from in religious sanctums.I am not promoting interfaith marriages or interreligious marriages at this flare. I never breakfast doesn't matter what opposed to the prearranged marriages with parent's agreement. But a new chance towards love necessitate get better at the very dot of the culture. Being a regional of a set down that has world's upper limit monument for love, each of us has the definitely to tear down these wicked philosophy opposed to love. Geniality is a divine omen that necessitate not be tampered due to the supporter religious attitudes. Couples who are in love necessitate be tough loads to stand for their love and qualified to convince their families. Prime hurdles momentum be contemporary in any relation. But introduce somebody to an area hurdles can be for any other reason uninvolved from the double-crossing accuse of religon. Geniality and religion are two sides of the precise coin and introduce somebody to an area ambiance necessitate be in calm to be in support of something the normal demand.*Nitish Katara: Nitish Katara was an direction in Delhi and had fallen in love with his classmate; Bharati Yadav.Bharti Yadav is the teenager of DP Yadav, well-known unauthorized maharishi in Western Uttar Pradesh. It is extensively held that he was murdered by Bharati's brother Vikas Yadav.

Sausage City: Telegraph's Charcuterie Plate
Reviews of sausages.
Charcuterie plates are a great place to look for house-made sausage in Chicago, and Telegraph in Logan Square, which successfully defies all the things I hate about wine bars (pricey mediocre wine and pricey unambitious food made acceptable because they're served in a "wine bar), has a fine one that changes regularly.
Right now they have a liver sausage, known by the traditional name braunschweiger. Braunschweiger is not necessarily put into a casing, since the focus is more on the flavor of the emulsified filling. So it may not look technically like a sausage (it's on the right side of the plate, and looks more like a mousse), but traditionally, it is one.
Telegraph's version is light and airy, sort of like a meaty whipped pie filling, and I mean that as a compliment. It's strongly flavored and yet balanced; the liver taste is subtle and subdued by cream and a light touch of seasoning. It's masterfully made, some of the best I've ever had.
It's served under a nest of onion jam, a rich and marmalade-like counterpoint of sweetness. Also on the plate is a puck of spicy pork rilletes, served unexpectedly but very successfully with a creamy garlicky aioli, a draped pile of speck, a German style of dry-cured ham that's also smoked, grilled bread from La Farine, a salad, and a dollop of balsamic mustard.

As we saw during last week's election, the demographics of the U.S. are changing. Older white men — once the country's key voting block — make up an increasingly small percentage of the electorate, while African Americans, Latinos, and women are gaining ground.
A similar demographic shift is taking shape on the roadways. According to a new study from Michael Sivak and colleague Brandon Schoettle at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, older men (of all races and ethnicities) are less likely than women to drive after age 45 — and the gender gap could get much wider.
UMTRI study
The Washington Post reports that Sivak and Schoettle reviewed 15 years' worth of U.S. driver's licence statistics, from 1995 to 2010. In 1995, 89.2 million men held licences, compared to 87.4 million American women. Men held their lead over women in every age group until age 70, when the trend flipped, perhaps in part to women's longer life-expectancies.
But life-expectancy alone can't account for the shift that researchers are seeing today. Although younger men are still more likely to have a driver's licence than younger women, the trend does reverse — only this time, the flip happens not at 70, but at age 45. In 2010, 105.7 million American women had driver's licenses, versus 104.3 million men.
And guys aren't going to be catching up anytime soon. As we've often discussed, the number of younger Americans with driver's licences is declining thanks to graduated licencing, the cost of car ownership, and broader issues like social networking, which has reduced the need for face-to-face interaction.
As a result, the number of young women (age 25 – 29) with driver's licenses dropped 4.7% between 1995 and 2010. However, the number of young men with licenses fell twice that amount — 10.6%. Only time will tell if men will pick up the slack as they get older.
What does it mean?
This data could have a direct impact on the cars we drive tomorrow. Sivak tells Auto News that women tend to prefer smaller, safer rides with greater fuel efficiency. That could make small cars an even hotter property than they are today.
Also, as Sivak points out, women tend to be involved in fewer traffic fatalities. That sets the stage for an even lower fatality rate in the U.S., and potentially lower insurance premiums. (Well, maybe.)
Guys, are you giving up on cars? Gals, what changes would you like to see in the auto industry? Weigh in with your own thoughts in the comment below.

Problem statement
In the globalization field, we often observe cases where companies mix up the usage of countries and languages when delivering products to their global customers. Assumptions are often made that people living in a country should receive services in that country's most common language(s) – such as – Japanese in Japan, English in the United States or Russian in Russia. Good companies will even support multilingual situations like Belgium and Switzerland, which support multiple official languages – but is it really enough?
In this blog article, we argue that the concepts of "Country" and "Language" should be treated apart – even though they are related.
Languages have no borders
Historically, languages have spread around the world through immigration, invasions and colonization. This is why Spanish is spoken in South America, English in the United States, French in Senegal and Canada – just to name a few examples.
Languages haven't been limited to their homelands in a long time. For example, Spanish and Portuguese have spread to the point where most of their native speakers are found outside the Iberian Peninsula. Only 8.95% of Spanish speakers are actually Spaniards [1]. We could argue that there are different flavors of Spanish, Portuguese or French, but, in essence, these languages are the same and they are not confined by country boundaries.
Twitter is a great tool to visualize languages spoken around the world. Eric Fisher created a cool language map using Twitter data [2], which clearly shows borders being redefined. Catalan appears on the map and multilingual countries like Belgium disappear under France and The Netherlands.
Official languages leave some major gaps
Many companies launch products/services in a country and limit localization and features to the official language(s) of that country. In software, a typical example is to create a new product for the American market and limit functionalities to English-speaking users' needs. But this is usually not enough – even if the market is limited to the United States.
Recent U.S. Census data shows that 60 million (or 21%) of Americans aged 5+ years old speak another language than English at home. Spanish takes a big part of the pie with 25 million, but languages like Chinese, Tagalog, French, Vietnamese, German and Korean are each well above the 1 million speakers mark [5]. This is very understandable considering the immigration history of the country.
In addition, the U.S. welcomed 59.7 million international visitors in 2010 [6]. Of those, 33.4 million were from Canada and Mexico and 26.4 million from outside North America. Knowing that these foreigners spend on average $4,000 during their stay, this market segment shouldn't be ignored.
Using the Greenberg's index, which measures the probability that 2 persons in a country would speak the same language, The Economist shows that language diversity is happening in all countries around the world and, especially, in nations other than the United States, Russia and China [7]. Also, Ethnologue.com is an excellent source of data around language adoptions.
This diversity is also visible in Adobe's analytics. Thanks to the Adobe Digital Marketing Suite and our Dynamic Language Delivery technology, we are able to capture the languages in which our worldwide customers would like to receive products and/or documentation. Figure 2 shows the language requests for Adobe Nav in the United States. Data collected with this small application basically confirms the diversity of the population in the U.S since languages such as Spanish, Arabic, British English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Dutch, Russian and Turkish are all requested by users located in the United States.
Language diversity in any country is the chief reason why software products should be developed with a global audience in mind. Even if the user interface or documentation is left in English, desktop, web and mobile applications should at least be able to input, display and print characters for most languages.
Similarly, we have been able to capture data about the preferred languages on Adobe.com. This data confirms that countries and languages are two separated concepts – and while most customers from a country read the content in an official language, a big chunk of visitors still prefer to read the content in a different language. For example, with the Action Script Reference (ASR) guide, we noticed that, in Russia, only 68% of the Flash developers prefer reading the documentation in Russian versus 31% in English (a non-official language) and 1% in other languages. Similarly, numerous Flash developers outside of Russia choose to read the ASR documentation in Russian (See Figure 3).
This is another example why assumptions between countries and languages shouldn't be made.
As people continue to become more mobile, it is critical to separate the concepts of country and language. This mobility is what spread languages beyond borders and creates the need to have languages supported everywhere.
A language is a customer preference, which can't be constrained by country borders.
Consequently, if languages don't have borders, flags shouldn't be used to represent them as often seen on web-sites. Flags are meant to represent political entities [3]. A common example is to represent the English language with the British "Union Jack". But it's not culturally sensitive for English speakers from Australia, India or United States. Some have addressed the problem by mixing multiple countries' flags into one although it's making the situation even more confusing. The flag below (Figure 4) represents the German language (spoken in Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and we can imagine how convoluted the Spanish language flag would look like since Spanish is the official language in 14 countries [4] and spoken in many more!
In summary, we offer 3 take-aways to consider when launching a product globally:
- Differentiate the concepts of "country" and "language". As such, don't use flags to represent languages.
- Don't limit support to the official language(s) of a country/region. Some languages may need to be supported even though they don't have official status.
- Languages don't have borders and need to be supported globally. Capture users' preferred language(s) so you can serve them in their language independently of their location.

I have never "joined" anything on the internet before. I really, really, really need the basic diamond template for a school project. When I Googled a quest for one your site came up and the template was perfect - exactly what I was looking for! But I don't know how to "get" it. I clicked on the download button but the rest that followed was so Greek to me I couldn't figure how to access it; in fact, I couldn't find the grid again - couldn't get back to the initial page. I don't do Facebook, Twitter or any of that stuff - I'm very simple and down home basic - just trying to get what I need. Please tell me how I can obtain a printed copy of your diamond grid template that first appeared on your site when I first opened your it. That's all I want - so close but unattainable...
Thanks - Kathy Van Deusen ([email protected])

Philip Richardson
lives and works in Hawkhurst
Years Experience: 29
Concepts, Ideas and Themes
The abstract in Art has a purity that I have always loved. Since I was a student I have been trying to paint abstract paintings; however, I have always worked from observation. At first I concentrated on developing my representational skills as I felt they were vital. More recently I find that to achieve my aim the world around me is the richest source of material. The physical presence of paint, and the relationships between colours and marks, are the essential elements.
All ideas are obtained by observation. Selection and the use of them are subjective decisions, though I strive for accuracy all the time.
Only landscape and still-life are my themes and sources. The introduction of the human presence in portraiture changes the discipline, to include it is a move I would not make. Lastly, I find my mind alone does not produce adequate material.
Processes and Techniques
I use traditional materials, oil paint on canvas or board, and paper and pencil or graphite for drawing, occasionally I use watercolours.
Career Path
After obtaining my degree in Fine Art at Liverpool, I lectured for a short time (mainly life drawing). I then moved to Italy in 1979. This was very important as I became aware of colour and light as if they had not existed previously. Also the introduction to early Tuscan artists was an enormous discovery and influence. Now my studio is in Spain; it suits me as I prefer to work in total isolation. I did not start showing work until 1996 as before then I had not felt ready to.

So that explains that mysterious BuzzFeed report yesterday about the U.S. abruptly halting non-lethal aid to northern Syria. BF noted that jihadi rebels had overrun several Free Syrian Army installations near the Turkish border, including an HQ and some warehouses, but it wasn't instantly clear why losing those facilitate would require suspending aid to the entire northern part of the country.
Now it's clear. They weren't just any buildings, they were the headquarters of the FSA's top officer — and America's man in Syria — Gen. Idris. The FSA has now deteriorated to the point where they can't protect their commander on their own turf. Thus, presumably, ends the White House's dream of building a "moderate" Sunni counterweight to the Nusra Front in Syria.
Salim Idris, the top Syrian rebel commander supported by the West, was run out of his headquarters in northern Syria over the weekend and fled to Turkey and then Doha after Islamist fighters took over facilities run by Western-backed opposition, U.S. officials said Wednesday.
The Obama administration is still trying to determine the circumstances under which Islamist fighters in a group called the Islamic Front took over warehouses and offices belonged to the Supreme Military Council, or SMC, the moderate rebel umbrella group that coordinates U.S. aid distribution, officials said.
"He fled as a result of the Islamic Front taking over his headquarters," a senior U.S. official said.
The U.S. is urging Gen. Idris, who left Syria for Turkey then Doha over the weekend, to return to Syria, the officials said.
The U.S. has supplied him with only small arms so far, or so we're told. I guess we'll wait to see what goodies from the warehouse the jihadi rebels start parading around with on the inevitable cell-phone YouTube vids to come. If you're unfamiliar with Gen. Idris, he's the guy who's name-checked in every soundbite from McCain as the man who could make Syria safe for democracy if only we'd give him the resources he needs to win. And if you're expecting Maverick to back off from that now, think again: The beauty of his brand of super-interventionism is that setbacks can always be blamed on America's failure to intervene more aggressively. The lesson here isn't that Idris is an unreliable or incompetent commander, overrun in his own HQ and then so reluctant to return that he needs the White House to beg him to come back. The lesson is that we should have armed him to the teeth ages ago, before jihadis began to dominate the rebel side. Whichever way you come out on that, though, the window for doing so now has clearly closed. Which means our choices in Syria at the moment are backing Al Qaeda or Iran's boy Assad.
Semi-serious question: Are we now officially neutral? Or are we actually, if tacitly, pro-Assad? He's been kinda sorta complying with demands that he give up his chemical weapons, for whatever that's worth, and we've committed to six months of dialogue with his patrons. If, miraculously, Iran agrees to some comprehensive nuclear deal, it's a cinch that our efforts to oust their man in Damascus are over. That's why, I assume, the U.S. is nervous about Idris bugging out: Even if he can't win, simply having him in the field is a bit of leverage that could be conceded to Iran as part of a nuke bargain. If we're willing to look the other way at Iranian ballistic missile tests, surely we'd be willing to pull the plug on Idris and the FSA. Now that he's been run out of the country, Obama won't have the chance.

Κύριε βοήθει Βασιλείῳ ὑπάτῳ καὶ στρατηγῷ Ἀναβάρζις τὸν Τρικλίνιον.
Lord, help Basil Triklinios, hypatos and strategos of Anabarza.
The remnants of an earlier strike appear along the lower edge of the reverse, where the following large letters can be distinguished: μ...[στρατη]λάτης [τῆς] Ἀνα(τολῆς) ὁ Βρ[υέννιος?]. It would appear that an eleventh-century stratelates of the East, based in Antioch, possibly named Bryennios, sent a sealed letter to his subordinate the strategos of Anabarza, who afterwards reused the attached seal for his own correspondence.
We note that a Bryennios Vatatzes is attested as stratelates of the West in the eleventh century: N. Mouchmov, "Un nouveau boullotirion byzantin," 190. On the early history of the Bryennios family of the eleventh century, see Seibt, Bleisiegel, no. 102.
Cheynet has published two seals of a Basil Trichinopodes protospatharios, hypatos, and strategos of Anabarza (Collection Zacos, nos. 4a and b). The reading of the family name on these seals is certain, and Cheynet has suggested that our two seals belong to the same man. We are reluctant to accept this identification, however, as the lettering of the family name on our seals cannot be reconciled with the lettering of the name on Cheynet's specimens. We therefore retain our restored reading Triklinios.
Anabarza, a heavily fortified town northeast of Tarsos and Adana, was taken by Nikephoros Phokas in early 962 and occupied by the Byzantines after 964. It became the seat of a strategos and remained under Byzantine control until the late eleventh century. For a list of the strategoi of Anabarza, see Cheynet, Collection Zacos, 16.

The Lannisters press their advantage over the Starks; Robb (Richard Madden) rallies his father's northern allies and heads south to war.
Last week's episode ended with one of the key moments of the first book: the arrest of Ned Stark. This episode focuses heavily on the fallout from that but the pace is so swift that we do in fact get a scene in every established locale. We are rushing towards the end, for everyone.
In King's Landing, the Lannisters press their current advantage and things get very serious indeed for the Starks. Our favourite scene in the episode is one of the first, a pivotal moment featuring Arya and Syrio. That scene is everything fans could have hoped for. A briefer scene following upon it did not feel quite right to us, however.
Sansa's also has a significant role to play in this episode, even though it appears to have been somewhat changed from the books, and Sophie Turner really shines in her scenes. There are a lot of people out there who judge Sansa very harshly, but you would have to have a heart of stone not to sympathize with her plight in this episode, especially at the very end.
The other Starks also face up to significant challenges. Robb learns of his father's arrest and makes a hard decision from which there will be no turning back. Meanwhile, on the Wall, Jon is reminded that his place is now there, his family set aside when he swore his vows. There is also a link between the action on the Wall and the scene in Winterfell, featuring Bran and Osha, as we are once more reminded that perhaps the struggle for the throne isn't what everyone should be concerned about.
But it certainly is a big concern, with the Lannister having begun the war in the Riverlands. Tyrion, on his way back from the Eyrie, finds himself some unlikely allies that he takes home to introduce to his father. Jaime is absent in this episode, however, though we get to hear some about his exploits.
The final thread is of course Daenerys and Drogo. Daenerys finds herself unable to stomach certain aspects of Dothraki customs and the decision that she makes will turn out to have far-reaching consequences. For now, however, it gives viewers another gruesome moment of triumph.
Overall, we expect most everyone to be very happy with this episode. The fast pace is to be expected at this stage of the game and it really gives a sense of how everything will come crashing down…or together, as the case may be.
[A preview of the episode can be found at from HBO.]

About the Owners
My husband, Gonzalo Chalo Theurel is a Civil Engineer who has worked in construction with his father, Gonzalo Sr., since before he had a drivers license. Over the years the two of them worked together and individually on construction projects of all kinds; residential and commercial.
I was born and raised in mountainous rural Northern California and made a huge change in my life at the age of 21 by following love to a desert sea. Life has been exciting and fun ever since. I did suffer from culture shock for a while but Ive learned to love many of the differences between my life in Baja and how I lived in the U.S. Here Ive gotten to know people who have next to nothing and are happy. I can tell you from experience that we North Americans take a lot for granted.
Chalo and I started our partnership in adventure almost 30 yrs. ago after meeting at a language school in Monterey, California. I was studying Spanish and planning a 3-month car trip to Mexico with a friend. He was pretending to be studying English, but I think he was actually looking for a girlfriend.
Since then, weve worked and played together at many different projects including: our bi-cultural marriage, the first remodeling of our home, raising three children, various construction projects including The Las Gaviotas Resort. We've also enjoyed world travels and many different outdoor sports over the years.
In the 80's we built our own kit helicopter in the living room of our house before we had furniture. In 2007 we planned to build a little landing strip for practice with our Pilot's club and ended up buying one parcel of land after another until we had enough to land a 747. Well, real estate was booming then so we went to work and got a permit for an airport and for plans for a community around it with all of the amenities.
That project, called La Paz Sky Park (www.lapazskypark.com ), while active in 2008, has been quiet on the drawing board for a little while now waiting for a change in the economy, but a few investors who bank on the future, are showing some real interest in developing the Skypark so no one should be surprised if construction starts soon on a new community around the bay just to the north of La Paz. See the link for La Paz Sky Park for full details.
Now, with kids grown and off to college, were still boating, flying the Baja in a Hiller Helicopter and were involved in the local pilots club, a motorcycle club, and a community club called Los Madrugadores, or "The Early Risers".
In the winter of 2009, we had an opportunity to help our friends, Gary and Terry Marcer, take care of their wonderful Ignacio Springs B&B in San Ignacio, in the northern part of Baja California Sur. (See their web page on our links.) That four-month experience during the whale-watching season showed us how wonderful it was to have the world come to your door. That was what made us decide to remodel our home and to open it as B&B Posada Colibri Bed and Breakfast Inn.
Come visit La Paz and stay with us and let us spoil you with something nice from our kitchen. Tell us your story over breakfast and well try and think up some Baja adventure for you that will be sure to sweeten your memories of La Paz and maybe win you bragging rights for a good long while.
Our house is not large and its not formal or fancy, but we try to keep it as neat as a pin. We hope you find it comfortable and are able to unwind and really enjoy yourself and your visit to our wonderful city; La Paz; a city were been proud and happy to call home.
A Little Bit of the History of our Community
Our property was once part of a family orchard which occupied what is now the whole city block. It belonged to Chalos grandparents who both had huge extended families in the community. Neighboring orchards belonged to great aunts and uncles and now to cousins too numerous to count.
Chalo's grandfather, Jorge Carrillo, educated in Los Angeles, California, was the youngest of 16 children and had 6 of his own. A newspaper man, he ran the local paper, The Baja California, from 1932 to1972. To get the international news he would write it down in shorthand while listening to "The Voice of America on AM radio. Then employees would type-set into the small hours of the morning and the presses would press, not roll, in those days, making international and local news available to the people of the city and the state.
Don Jorge's large family home was behind our property, facing Madero Street, then the address of choice of most of the important, fashionable families in the community. These were the owners of gold and silver mines, politicos and local merchants, whose ships brought merchandise from the mainland and elsewhere. There was quite an international shipping trade in the old days and the ships even brought a few individuals from many of the worlds ethnic groups; the roots of our French, German, Italian Hungarian, Chinese families, etc. Ships were the only way to get from the Baja Peninsula to other parts of the world without spending months on horseback.
On Madero street behind us was the only hospital, now the "Casa de Cultura". The first gas station, three blocks away, is now the grocery store with the big red cow in front and belongs to the Aramburo family.
Some of the beautiful Colonial-style homes of the neighborhood, once falling into disrepair, are now being bought and restored to better-than- new by outsiders. Several of them have been made into nice restaurants and art galleries. Some are within comfortable walking distance of Posada Colibri and well be pointing them out to you when you visit us.
Their are actually myriad places of interest to see when you are in La Paz. The Ibarra families Pottery factory is nearby. One of the citys restored theaters is close. There are galleries and restaurants in the downtown and on the waterfront. The city of La Paz is relatively safe to walk in at night and we ourselves frequently leave our car at home and take a walk, often to get someplace and just as often, just for the pleasure of it.
