With the last round of the AFL season approaching, we thought we would think about what we should be chowing down on this weekend and into the finals!
The meat pie
There is nothing humble about a meat pie – it is practically Australia's national food! Flakey, buttery pastry encasing delicious minced beef (we think!?) and gravy. And don't forget the dead horse (sauce)!
Pizza can come in all different shapes and forms! You can go for a fancy, thin base with artichoke hearts and prosciutto or you can go for a good ole' fashioned ham and cheese in a paper box at the footy. And hot damn, sometimes that just hits the spot!
Whether you're a plain jane or whether you like to pile on the sauce, mustard, pickles and whatever else, a hotdog is rarely a wrong choice when you're sitting out in the crisp winter air.
There is rarely anything more pleasing than a delicious, cheesey burger. Whether at the footy, the pub or at home on the couch, a burger and the game is never a wrong move!
A hot jam donut
Once you have finished with the mains, it is time for dessert! And who can go past a hot jam donut (or 6)? If you don't finish the final quarter with sugar all over your lips and fingers then you are not doing the footy right!

After working with Madonna, appearing at the American Superbowl, leaking a few tracks of her new album and performing a VERY over the top performance at The Grammy's the alter ego finally releases the lead track off her sophomore album, Starships. Originally the record company was going to release Va Va Voom as the lead single, however, the label scrapped its release at the last minute and decided to go with Starships as the lead single instead. The track reminds us early AQUA Barbie Girl with its European electro beat but with a full on injection of Nicki Minaj juices. Check it..!

Ezekiel 30 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Lament over Egypt
30 The word of the Lord came again to me saying, 2 "Son of man, prophesy and say, 'Thus says the Lord [a]God,
"Wail, 'Alas for the day!'
5 [d]Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all [e]Arabia, [f]Libya and the [g]people of the land [h]that is in league will fall with them by the sword."
6 'Thus says the Lord,
9 On that day messengers will go forth from Me in ships to frighten secure [i]Ethiopia; and anguish will be on them as on the day of Egypt; for behold, it comes!"
10 'Thus says the Lord God,
"I will also make the [j]hordes of Egypt cease
13 'Thus says the Lord God,
"I will also destroy the idols
Victory for Babylon
20 In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying, 21 "Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up [x]for healing [y]or wrapped with a bandage, that it may be strong to hold the sword. 22 Therefore thus says the Lord God, 'Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong and the broken; and I will make the sword fall from his hand. 23 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands. 24 For I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; and I will break the arms of Pharaoh, so that he will groan before him with the groanings of a wounded man. 25 Thus I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I put My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt. 26 When I scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands, then they will know that I am the Lord.'"

On openSUSE with a radeon hd 5850, Kwin crashe automaticaly... No driver work for this gc ??
Leave a comment:
as fglrx shares a lot of code with the windows drivers, 3D performance on linux is close to 3D performance on windows. IIRC fglrx doesn't implement EXA though, resulting in slower performance on certain 2D operations.
The OS drivers are different: they offer good 2D acceleration, but the 3D code isn't as optimized as the windows drivers (and in some parts still unfinished). OS drivers aren't written until the hardware is actually released, so it takes a while until they're available for recent hardware.

I thought ATI was making massive strides in Linux support and that new card users (4000, 5000 series) would have Nvidia-like performance in most cases, with modern drivers?

Ugh, my new GTX260 got sent back for repair 5 weeks ago and it's increasingly unlikely that I'll ever see it again. Here in Australia the GTXs are clean out of stock, and even the 5850s are as rare as hen's teeth due to demand.
I really want to stick with NVIDIA but without even a ship date for the 300, I think I and a lot of other Linux users will end up resorting to a 5850.

Well he said "should"... a lot of things should work.
I don't want to waste lots of money on a card that *may* work.
Waiting for nvidia will take too long.

While Kano is rightly hinting that nvidia's binary drivers are in some ways more mature than fglrx, waiting for an unreleased piece of hardware would be a waste of time. All public knowledge about the GT300 is based on nvidia's press releases, and those releases contain obvious lies. It seems that their promises are mostly a marketing move to stall buyers until nvidia's next generation cards are finally ready. Whether they can actually deliver (and if, when) must at this point be considered "unknown".

Two persons are reported dead after a passenger bus travelling from Takoradi to Accra collided with a MAN Diesel container truck at Cape Coast. The fatal accident occurred at dawn on Wednesday, September 12 near the Ameen Sangari Factory after the University of Cape Coast east gate on the main highway.
The driver of the passenger bus, a Hyundai maxi bus with 33 passengers on board allegedly overtook a leading vehicle just after a curve and in the process collided head-on with an oncoming MAN Diesel Container truck which was loaded with frozen fish from Tema.
The driver of the truck along with two other occupants as well as the driver of the passenger bus and his passengers sustained various degrees of injury and were rushed to the University of Cape Coast (UCC) Hospital and the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital for treatment.
Two passengers on the passenger bus died as a result. They include a male adult on the bus who died on the spot and a female adult who also died shortly on arrival at the teaching hospital. Their bodies have been deposited at the teaching hospital morgue for identification and autopsy.
A total of 32 injured persons on the bus are receiving treatment at the hospital.
Meanwhile, four of the casualties are in critical condition.

China's largest shipping group, which last month offered to buy a Hong Kong peer to become the world's third-largest container liner, said January-June net profit was 1.86 billion yuan ($288.32 million).
That matched an estimate it announced in July, citing improved market conditions. It also booked revenues of 43.5 billion yuan for the period.
COSCO Group booked a 7.2 billion yuan loss in the first half of last year before merging with China Shipping Group to create COSCO Shipping.
Having endured a lengthy slump, the global container shipping industry has shown signs of recovery this year as overcapacity eases and freight rates increase.
COSCO said it expected to see continued good demand in the market, but that there were still some uncertainties ahead as the industry was awaiting a new delivery of ships that would add more capacity.
Denmark's AP Moeller Maersk A/S gave an upbeat outlook for container shipping earlier this month, saying market "fundamentals are at their best since 2010".
With business conditions improving, COSCO Shipping offered to buy Orient Overseas International Ltd for $6.3 billion in a deal that would rank its market share just behind Maersk and Switzerland's Mediterranean Shipping Co.

Thank you for visiting our Partner Zone. This area is an exclusive space for MYOB Partners. Find out how to Partner with MYOB.
Pay items used to be linked to individual employees, making it a pain to replicate the same pay item across multiple employees. Now, each pay item you create is saved to a business-wide list of pay items, making them easy to bulk edit and link to your employees.
This update not only simplifies your payroll setup, but also lays the groundwork for Single Touch Payroll compliance and many more future payroll improvements.
Creating and assigning pay items
You'll notice a few differences in the way pay items are created in the newly renamed Pay items - earnings and deductions tab in your employees' profiles.
If you want to add a new pay item to an employee start by clicking into the Add earning or Add deduction dropdown list.
Want to add a pay item you've already created? It's as easy as selecting it from the dropdown list. The pay item will be added to this employee with no extra data entry on your part.
If you need to create a new pay item, select Create new earning or Create new deduction from their respective dropdown lists.
After filling in and saving the new pay item details, two things will happen. First, it will be linked to the employee you created it for. And second, it will be added to your business-wide list of pay items, ready to be linked to other employees.
Despite these exciting changes, we didn't want to disrupt the tried and true payroll setup you've grown accustomed to. The good news is that you can still work with pay items at the employee level like usual and use the reusable pay items whenever it's convenient for you.
Editing and unlinking pay items
If you want to change any details of a pay item or want to unlink it from an employee click the ellipses button.
Note that any changes made to a pay item will affect every employee it's linked to. If you want to create a unique pay item for a specific employee, it's best to create a new one in their employee profile.
See the MYOB Essentials online help for more information on setting up pay items.
Your new pay items page
We've also added a new Pay items page to the Payroll menu.
Here you'll find a list of every pay item you've created for your employees. Currently you can only view this list; but we'll be building out this page in future updates, including the ability to create, edit and delete - so stay tuned! See the Pay items online help page for more information.
What's this 'ATO reporting category' field? (Australia only)
ATO reporting categories are part of Single Touch Payroll (STP) - a new ATO reporting requirement coming later this year (if your business has 20 or more employees). If and when you start reporting using STP, every pay item in your business needs to be assigned an ATO reporting category to accurately report payroll information to the ATO.
Don't worry, you don't need to do anything with these categories just yet! We just want to familiarise you with some new terminology so you're ready to hit the ground running when it's time to start preparing your business for the changes.
Want to know more about STP? See the Single Touch Payroll online help page.
My first time trying to use this new feature this morning and can't get it to work. Have to give an employee a "Privates Rate" of $16. Went through the process of creating that in my Pay Items list and putting it into his Earnings/Deductions, but when I go to Payroll, all that will come up is a $0 Privates Rate. I can get around this for this week's payroll by overriding the amount on his pay slip, but why isn't his payroll entry showing the same as his earnings/deductions list?
Not a fan when you have apprentices at different stages you have to go through and name all your overtime rates and other allowances different things just to be able to pay them all accordingly. You need to be able to have the same title for things and have the option to be able to change the pay rate without changing everyones.
I found this new feature to be cumbersome, very hard to manouvre around in and looks complex on the employee's pay slips. A lot of work needs to be done to it before it can be considered user friendly. I would like to return to the old format as quickly as possible. This is the worst upgrade yet.
This is a good start, but I am truly baffled why percentages and multiples still havent been included as a calculation option. We should be able to set up a pay item for Leave loading for example, that simply has a calculation of 17.5% of the employees hourly rate. Similarly, overtime should be calculated on multiples of the standard rate like 1.5 times or 2 times. This means then that they can be easily applied to any employee, and more importantly, easily changed if needed, without having to recalculate every employee with the pay item.
Why cant pay items be done the same as pay categories in MYOB Accountright? Surely the background code behind that can be easily tweaked to be implemented in Essentials instead of re-inventing the wheel as seem to be happening with this release.
I do not like this at all. Too complicated and very tiresome having to go through each individual employee. There is to much information and staff do not need to have this on their timesheets.
Please try to think up an easier solution
This has caused a few problems with my client. They use "staff purchases" and each employee is having a regular amount deducted depending on what they owe. As the amount of the deduction is different we have had to set up an individual Pay Code for each staff member.
It would great to be able to link the pay codes with gl codes.
I so agree with Jane on the need to be able to link pay codes with appropriate GL codes - this would be so useful for management reporting.

The Kentucky Democratic Party is the affiliate of the Democratic Party in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
The party Chairman is Daniel Logsdon, Jr., Party Vice-Chair is Susie Watkins, and David Tandy is Treasurer.
Kentucky Democrats control the majority of the executive offices, including the Governor's office, and the Kentucky House of Representatives which is led by Speaker of the House Greg Stumbo. Unlike the national party, which uses a donkey, the state party has a rooster as its mascot.
The structure of the Kentucky Democratic Party states that the power rests in the hands of the members and is to be conducted in accordance with the Constitutions of the United States and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. A member is anyone who is registered as a Democrat in the commonwealth of Kentucky, and states that no discrimination will take part in anyone wishing to join the party.
Governing of the Kentucky Democratic Party articulates that proxy votes are not permitted and unit rules are forbidden. The organization aims to take strong stances against forcing members to vote a certain way, but instead endorses all candidates which meet their ideological structure most effectively.
A major function of the party is precincts and elections. The party conducts and carries out effective nominations for various elections. Members of each precinct must select one man, one woman, and one youth to represent their precinct. One member is then selected as the Precinct Chair. Removal from the Precinct Committee can result from the failure to support the nominees of the National or Kentucky Democratic Party.[1]
Kentucky politics has been relatively evenly matched between Democrats and Republicans. There has been no Democratic President from Kentucky, but there have been three Democratic Vice Presidents from the state. The first Vice President from Kentucky, Richard M. Johnson, was the ninth Vice President of the United States. In the earliest part of the 19th century Johnson was a supporter of the Democratic-Republican Party during his service in the U.S. House, Johnson would work to secure pensions for widows and orphans of wars, in particular those following the War of 1812, a stance that would set precedence for future Kentucky Democrats.[2] Johnson would later become a strong supporter and influence in the Democratic Party along with his service in the White House from 1837-1840.[3] John C. Breckinridge served as the 14th Vice President (1857–1861) and a notable figure in the early Democratic Party of Kentucky, although Breckinridge claimed himself not an anti-union demonstrator, during the civil war, yet strongly supported the states right to determine slavery and would go on to be an officer in the confederate army.[4] Alben W. Barkley Vice President (1949–1953) began his Kentucky Democratic influence as a county Judge, and would become a U.S. House of Representatives and go onto the U.S. Senate with strong ties to Woodrow Wilson's liberal agenda also during Franklin D Roosevelt's Administration and would help transition Kentucky's Democratic Party into the modern era of politics.[5] Since the 20th century and early part of the 21st century Democrats have largely dominated the office of Governor in the State of Kentucky, out of twenty six Governors since 1900, only seven have not conducted office within the Democratic party.[6]
Chairman: Daniel Logsdon-Logsdon's political career includes being Governor Beshear's Deputy Chief of Staff.[7]
Vice-Chair: Susie Watkins-a retired elementary teacher of thirty-one years [7]
Allison Amon, Chad Aull, Brad Bailey, Sarah Bailey, Gary K. Best, Crystal Chappell, Clay Ford, Courtney French, Sussana French, James L. Gallenstein, Billy Hayes, Phillis V. Hindley, Brenda P. McClanahan, Michael Meeks, George Mills, Kerry S. Morgan, Jim Morphew, Betty Morrow, Gerald A. Neal, Jeff Noble, Joey Pendleton, Kathy Jo Stubblefield, Winnie Townsend, Charles B. Wells, Marcus Woodward [7]
The Kentucky House of Representatives is composed of 100 members. The Democrats hold the majority with 59 members. The Democratic Party in the House is led by the House Speaker Greg Stumbo, Majority Floor Leader Rocky Adkins, Majority Caucus Chairman is Robert Damron, and Majority Whip is Tommy Thompson.[8]
In the Senate the Democratic Party holds a minority of seats with 15 to the Republicans with 22 and one seat held by an independent. Leading figures of the Democratic Party in the Senate include Minority Floor Leader R.J. Palmer, Minority Caucus Chairman Johnny Ray Turner, and Minority Whip Jerry Rhoads.[9]
None. Wendell H. Ford was the last Democrat to represent Kentucky in the U.S. Senate. He was elected in 1974, and served his last term from 1974 to 1999.
The Democratic Party has been working to ensure health coverage for every American citizen since the turn of the 20th century.[10] The Democratic Party of Kentucky supports the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama's health care reform that will take effect in 2014. Under the act, and health care providers will no longer be able to refuse coverage to anyone based on their past medical experience.
In 2006, 2,000,231 people between the ages of 25 and 64 were living in Kentucky, of those an estimated 19 percent were living without health insurance.[11] Almost every company that provides health care coverage in Kentucky has the right to refuse coverage. Over the decade 2000-2009 family health insurance premiums rose 3.3 times faster than median earnings. Under the new reforms, insurance companies will no longer be able to discriminate against those with pre-existing conditions. By 2019, an estimated 438,000 Kentuckians will gain coverage.[12]
The state of Kentucky believes that strong infrastructure leads to strong economic growth.require('Module:No globals')

In 2009, the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority distributed 47.8 million dollars to fund wastewater infrastructure projects. An additional 18.9 million dollars was made available to improve funding for drinking water projects in the state. The funding was to be distributed through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, which were directly funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which was strongly supported by Democrats and implemented by President Obama. Governor Beshear, a strong supporter of President Obama's Reinvestment Act, stated that these infrastructure improvements will not only create jobs but address short and long-term water challenges for the state of Kentucky.[14]

Jodok Batlogg
Store – 40 min
Understanding databases for distributed Docker applications
Jodok Batlogg is co-founder and CEO of Crate and has a decade of experience with Big Data and Open Source. He has successfully launched a few startups and as CTO, led the tech teams of large web companies, for example by far biggest German-speaking website in 2010, StudiVZ.
Jodok will talk at #bbuzz on "Understanding databases for distributed Docker applications". He willl focus on the use of Crate alongside Weave in Docker containers, the technical challenges, best practices learned, and getting a simple web application running alongside it. Jodok will present why the shared-nothing architecture is so important when deploying large clusters and talk about the ways Crate have leveraged Lucene, Elasticsearch, and built an optimized distributed SQL planner. Attendees can learn how to deploy a Crate cluster within minutes in the cloud using Docker. The session will also give examples when to use Crate compared to other similar technologies such as MongoDB, Hadoop, Cassandra or FoundationDB. Jodok will close his session on how to architect an application that is easy to scale using Crate, Docker, Weave, and a simple web application.

Apache Lucene 5 - New Features and Improvements for Apache Solr and Elasticsearch
Uwe works as managing director for SD DataSolutions GmbH in Bremen, Germany, a company that provides consulting and support for Apache Lucene, ElasticSearch, and Apache Solr. His main focus is on development of Lucene Java. He implemented fast numerical search and is maintaining the new attribute-based text analysis API. He is committer and PMC member of Apache Lucene and Solr.
His talk "Apache Lucene 5 - New Features and Improvements for Apache Solr and Elasticsearch" will present the improvements and new features, but also some incompatible changes in the Lucene 5 release.
Lucene now uses all the brand new features (NIO.2) of Java 7 to make the indexing process more stable and resulting indexes durable. Checksums are used during merging to prevent bugs in the underlying JVM or data corruption due to networking errors (e.g., while distributing indexes during recovery in Elasticsearch) to persist in newly created index segments. In Lucene 5, the API around codecs will be cleaned up and will likely get more stable. There are also new features, like a common FilterCache that can be reused by Solr and Elasticsearch.
This talk will give an overview over the background of these changes and how to make the best out of it.

I've found notes I've written when attending a talk by my phD director. I put it here since it could be seen as a framework for my phD.
1. Communication tools fulfill cognitive fonctions :
– Group memory : a chat, for instance, keep an history of the conversations, the questions asked… An email is a also a part of a cognitive system and not only a link between two persons. A whiteboard enable participants to have a joint understanding of the problem. The wire can play a role in solving the problem. For instance, in a chat you can scroll back to read the questions asked by the participants and answers to them sequentially (wheras in oral conversation, one cannot say "yes, no, yes) to three questions asked by three different adressees.
– Storing the context : masters thesis Ott, 1999
– Group mirrors : ArgueGraph : when one give a group a picture of itself, it triggers reactions. Jermann; Donath.
– Awareness tools : mutual modelling
– Interaction analysis
2. Distributed cognitive systems : the group members and the tools constitutes ONE cognitive systems : shared memory, shared cognitive load, … group metacognition.
3. Mediated communication is a substance : people interact with each other and we can do something with it.
4. Learning science needs computer science. Our approach : model/hypotheses + design/build + test/analyze (empirical studies)

Paper Modeling --- Модели из бумаги
Long ago, when I entered into the third grade, into my hands came a magazine called "ЮТ для умелых рук" ("Young Ingeneer - for skilled hands"). Inside was an article about how make a model in paper of the bus "Ikarus." I tried it. Because of its complexity, I did not have enough patience to complete the model, but this was only my first attempt. The following model was turned out more as described in the magazine. : -) This enthusiasm stayed with me through my school years, and possibly you, or your children, will enjoy making something from almost nothing: a sheet of paper and glue.
- Easy. One page.
- Medium. Two-tree pages.
- Next level - four and more pages.

When I started the Savvy Business Mastermind:
- My website had not yet launched.
- I had no new clients for the year.
- I was living in a state of panic/fear that I was not going to succeed.
- I had no benchmarks or strategies in place by which to measure my growth
Even though I had been reading motivational business books and forcing myself to attend networking events I knew something needed to change. Making the intentional financial decision to work with a business coach in a committed and collaborative is the absolute best decision I have made for my business yet. The tangible, as well as the psychological benefits of Hanneke's mastermind, have exceeded my expectations. Because the mastermind has transformed my overall approach, I feel far greater equipped to weather the peaks and valleys of daily business ownership.

CBS defends 'Bull' renewal after Eliza Dushku accused Michael Weatherly of misconduct
NEW YORK – CBS executives are defending last week's decision to renew drama "Bull," which came months after allegations surfaced about misconduct charges against star Michael Weatherly.
"We felt comfortable bringing "Bull" back on the air," CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl said Wednesday.
Its fourth-season pickup came weeks after Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television, a co-producer of "Bull," quietly pulled out in protest.
By ratings standards, the renewal was a slam dunk: The legal drama features a well-known star, Michael Weatherly, who spent 13 seasons on the network's top drama "NCIS" before heading off into his own series in 2016.
But last year, news broke that Weatherly had made "disgusting" comments to "Bull" guest star Eliza in 2017. In a December New York Times report, the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" alumna said she felt "violated" by his remarks. She provided video proof and CBS quietly paid her off.
Dushku said that instead of making her a series regular as planned, producer Glenn Gordon Caron fired her out of retaliation for reporting the incident. CBS paid her a $9.5 million settlement, equivalent to what should would have made as a series regular on a five-year contract. But in exchange, she said she was forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement.
CBS Investigation: Network paid Eliza Dushku $9.5M after 'Bull' star Michael Weatherly's sexual comments
Dushku's payout was uncovered during the network-wide investigation that led to the ouster of CBS chairman-CEO Leslie Moonves over more serious sexual allegations.
"What happened was something a lot of us didn't know about," Kahl insisted at a press briefing Wednesday to outline the network's fall schedule. "We found out when you found out. When it came time to look at (a renewal), we wanted to look at it with a fresh lens. First and foremost, we found Michael made a mistake with his comments. He owned his mistake, he was remorseful and he apologized again when (the story) came out."
Kahl said Weatherly "agreed to training, coaching, whatever was necessary to do a good job on the set," and said CBS brass was swayed by the "totality" of his 16-year tenure at the network and said they have "never had a complaint before or after. He was upset by this and wants to make it better. I believe Michael was honest in his remorse and believe people can make a mistake and recover from that."
In its wake, Kahl said CBS has installed "a team of HR professionals visiting sets on a regular basis; they will be very visible and very available if anybody has any complaint or concern."

New terrorist attack claims 15 lives in Russian town
A new terrorist attack took place in the southern Russian town of Volgograd, only a day after an explosion that killed 17.Source: B92
At least 15 persons died on Monday morning when an explosive device was detonated in a trolleybus, while 27 were injured.
The Russian media are reporting that a five-year-old child is among the victims.
Officials are also quoted as saying that there is a great chance that today's attack was connected to the one that took place at the railway station on Sunday, when 17 persons died, including the terrorist, a woman "suicide bomber."
It has been reported that "Chechen mujahideens" are behind both attacks, and that their goal is "to prevent the holding of the Winter Olympics in Sochi."
Russian news agencies also said that President Vladimir Putin has sent Federal Security Service (FSB) chief Aleksandr Bortnikov to Volgograd.

'The solution to the Syrian crisis must come from within the country'
– Patriarch Ignatius Ephrem II Karim of the Syriac Orthodox Church
(Interview Le Vif/ L'Express)
HRWF / Le Vif/L'Express (10.10.2017) – During Ignatius Ephrem II Karim's recent visit to Belgium, where he met King Philip, he stated that the solution to the Syrian crisis must come from within the country. During his interview with Gerald Papy for the Belgian weekly magazine Le Vif/L'Express, he further argued that in the meantime, it is better to have the secular regime of Bashar al-Assad than a religious government under Islamist rule.
On 19 June 2016, Ignatius Ephrem II Karim, a resident of the city of Damas in Syria, escaped a suicide attempt that took place at a Christian event in Qamishli, located in the north-east of the country. This same attack resulted on the death of three people, as well as five injured individuals.
The Syriac Orthodox Church was constituted from the first Christian communities, and its apostolic seat was established in 37 by Saint Peter. Ignace Ephrem II Karim is the 122nd successor to the head of the apostles.(*)
See below a section of the interview, translated by Human Rights Without Frontiers.
How does the daily life of Syrians evolve, particularly the life of Syrian Christians?
Their daily life is improving but Syrian Christians continue suffering due to incessant violence. To provide an example, our district, located in the ancient part of Damas, remains under the threat of a small group of rebels entrenched two kilometers from our district. From time to time, they fire mortars on our street.
Concerning the life of Christians, it is no different from the life of others.: everyone is trying to regain control of their life.
What is the current situation outside Damas?
The situation is improving. New areas, such as Deir ez-Zor, have been regained from the terrorists' yoke. Other areas which have been retrieved from terrorist control include regions along the border with Lebanon, as well as the cities of Aleppo and Homs, among others. In fact, the territories under the control of the Syrian army have more than doubled.
A number of Christians who live in the north-east of the country, which is under the rule of Kurds, are also in a difficult situation due to the unilateral management of these regions by the local powers. These Christian communities are also under pressure concerning military service and school education. For example, Kurds try to impose their school programs in our private schools.
Do you not trust Kurdish leaders?
We believe in a unified Syria with both a strong government and a strong army to protect us all. Kurds are a small minority in the north-east of the country. Even in Qamishly and Hasakah, two big cities in the region, they only constitute a minority: merely 30% of the population. This is why we do not believe there is a future for a federal state in Syria.
What do you think of the possibility of acquiring some autonomy?
We are in favour of a united Syria. Not even all Kurds agree on the idea of pushing forward a project of autonomy.
How important is the recapture of Deir ez-Zor by the governmental troops for the future of the conflict?
This is a political and military issue. It is, therefore, not my position to comment on this issue.
I will only sustain that the liberation of Dei res-Zor complicates the projects of those who wish to divide Syria. The governmental army now controls the whole region from west to east. Therefore, it is very important.
Do you support the action of the Syrian Democratic Forces, who are mainly composed of Kurds and are supported by the West? They expelled the ISIS terrorists from a part of the city of Raqqa.
I support any action against terrorism, against ISIS, AL-Nusra Front (the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda) and all the other groups. Since there is a legitimate government and army, we should all unite to combat this common enemy. The Syrian Democratic Forces should fight in coordination with the governmental army.
What do you expect from Europe?
Europe has an important role to play for the future of Syria, a role it has, unfortunately, not fulfilled since the beginning of the conflict. The EU has not always worked in the interest of the Syrians. Now that a new Syria is emerging, the EU can act positively to ensure that all Syrians are treated equally, regardless of their political orientation, their ethnic identity or their religious beliefs, and a new Constitution should reflect this ambition. This policy must however be implemented in accord with the legitimate Syrian government.
Do you think this new Syria would be prosperous under the rule of Bashar al-Assad?
I envision this new country under the leadership of a president that the Syrians themselves will elect. Bashar al-Assad has always said that if the people no longer wanted him, he would be ready to leave. It is up to the population to decide, not to an external player. The solution must come from inside.
Are free elections possible in Syria?
Yes. In 2014, Bashar al-Assad was elected for a second mandate. Thousands of Syrian refugees in Lebanon went to the embassy to re-elect him. Nobody forced them to do so.
Is there a future for the Eastern Christians?
Christian presence in the Middle East is seriously threatened. Iraq has lost 80% of its Christian population. In Syria, the loss is estimated at 50%. The future of Christians is also particularly obscure. We must do everything we can to keep all those who stayed. We are glad that some Europeans help us with the reconstruction or the maintenance of our schools, our churches, our monasteries… There must be a Christian presence in the Middle East. It is here where our church was founded 2000 years ago. I am convinced that our community will survive but our influence will be reduced, depending on the number of Christians remaining.
What is the Christian contribution to the Arab society?
Since the expansion of Islam in Syria and throughout the region, Christians have helped newcomers to integrate within the state structures, school education… In the 19th and 20th centuries, most schools were actually run by Christians. It was necessary to reach a balance in society. A mono-confessional society is by nature closed and intolerant to others. In Syria, we never had any major problem between Christians and Muslims. Christians had always been well-treated, as we deserved since it is our native land. We were there before anybody else. We have all the religious freedom we need. However, it is a fact that not too long ago, just before the war started, we missed opportunities of political liberalization and freedom of expression. Yet, all Syrians suffered from this, not only Christians. (…)
What do you say to the Christians who opted to join the rebellion?
At the beginning of the conflict, a number of Christians, as well as many others, believed that the demonstrators were sincere and were simply asking for reforms that most of the population wanted. Yet, when they realized that the protests were being abused for other ends by foreigners and religious extremists, they withdrew their support. There are still a few Christians supporting the opposition to the regime but they only represent themselves. They do not represent the majority of the Syrian Christian community.
Full interview published by Le Vif/ L'Express on 29 September 2017 and posted on internet on 4 October: http://www.levif.be/actualite/international/en-syrie-mieux-vaut-tout-sauf-les-islamistes/article-normal-729667.html
(*) According to the last annual report of the U.S. Department of State, the total population of Syria is estimated at 17.2 million, although media reporting suggests this figure is continually declining as large numbers of people leave the country to escape the ongoing civil war. Approximately 74 percent of the population is Sunni Muslim. Other Muslim groups, including Alawites, Ismailis, and Shia, together constitute 13 percent while Druze account for 3 percent of the population. U.S. government estimates put the Christian population at 10 percent of the overall population, although media and other reports of Christians fleeing the country as a result of the civil war suggest the Christian population is now considerably lower.
Most Christians belong to autonomous Orthodox churches, the Eastern Catholic (or Uniate) churches (in full communion with the Roman Catholic pope), or the Assyrian Church of the East and other affiliated independent Nestorian churches. Most Christians continue to live in and around Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, Hama, and Latakia, or in the Hasakah Governorate in the northeast section of the country.

Wednesday to Sunday!
31 Jan – 4 Feb 2018
Building our Future Toy Conference 2011 at the International Toy Fair:
Engineer or nursery school teacher – Do toys affect the development of children?
Do dolls and building bricks influence the subsequent choice of career? Or are the genes the reason why girls make a rush for pink dolls and boys for toy cars at an early age? These questions are discussed by the participants at the Building our Future Toy Conference the day before the Spielwarenmesse International Toy Fair Nürnberg 2011.
Thought leaders from various countries meet at the Future Conference to analyse developments in the toy industry. The interdisciplinary group of experts comprises visionaries from Germany, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain and the USA. The invited participants will discuss whether toys influence the development of children. Toy manufacturers, traders, corporate and PR consultants, market researchers and journalists will contribute their standpoints to the debate on topics ranging from packaging, product and colour design to the role of plush products, action figures and technical toys.

"As an experienced Media teacher who has contributed to media textbooks myself, I am very impressed with this book. Theories are explained concisely without over-simplification and with clear application to the study texts. The book is also attractive and readable. One of the plusses of the limited new A level specification is that this book will remain current for at least a couple of years. I've ordered a class-room set and am insisting all my students buy a copy. This is the first time I've ever done this in thirty years of media and film teaching!" 5 star review on Amazon

The BI is an active supporter of Equal Education, an NGO based in Cape Town, which is in the forefront of the campaign for good education for all South African children. We were therefore delighted to welcome the Equal Education team when they visited our remote area to see for themselves the state of rural schools and to discuss the problems facing teachers and learners.
EE explained their campaign and court case for Minimum Norms and Standards for School Infrastructure and they distributed information pamphlets for parents as well as a petition for learners, teachers, parents and community members to sign. We visited 3 schools in our neighbouring villages and this is what we found.
No teacher, no lessons…….
Not even the basics for teaching and learning….
A classroom, a kitchen and the only toilet

I'm getting closer.
The traditional Russian spindle has a pointier whorl (the bottom bit) shaped like an arrow. And the whole spindle should probably be even more slender. Also, the traditional Russian woods are lighter… like birch.
This particular spindle spins like a dream… fast, true, and for a long time. I think this is the most beautiful and well balanced spindle I have made to date.
Wood is Mexican Bocote. Length is about 10 inches. Weight is 1.75 oz. Finish is light mineral oil.
Target weight for next spindle is 1.25-1 oz and the wood will be Birch.
I am very happy with this project and will continue to experiment with Russian spindles.

Nothing feels as good as making your own tools to make more things. Did you get the measurements of the spindle from somewhere or did you just went with the flow? Both ways, it looks great. I'm thinking the Russians must have came up with a proportion that would optimize the way it spins.

The hottest Super Bowl recipe on the internet: the Bacon Explosion.
For a nation seeking unity, a recipe has swept the Internet that seems to unite conservatives and liberals, gun owners and foodies, carnivores and … well, not vegetarians and health fanatics. Certainly not the vegetarians and health fanatics. This recipe is the Bacon Explosion, modestly called by its inventors "the BBQ Sausage Recipe of all Recipes." The instructions for constructing this massive torpedo-shaped amalgamation of two pounds of bacon woven through and around two pounds of sausage and slathered in barbecue sauce first appeared last month on the Web site of a team of Kansas City competition barbecuers. They say a diverse collection of well over 16,000 Web sites have linked to the recipe, celebrating, or sometimes scolding, its excessiveness. A fresh audience could be ready to discover it on Super Bowl Sunday.
Do I post too much about bacon, the perfect food? Remember Baconnaise?

Back In Time
From LQWiki
The "BackInTime" application is a very good and powerful backup tool, but using it to do a full system backup requires some settings. The instructions here were written for BackInTime 1.0.7 on SuSE 11.4 but will apply to most distributions and also newer versions.
- install "backintime" and "backintime-kde4" (or gnome version if you like) from repository (using Yast on SuSE)
- open the application editor (in KDE4 SuSE, right-click on SuSE Logo and launch applications editor)
- locate "BackInTime", go to "advanced" Tab, click "run as another user" and enter username "root". save settings
- start "BackInTime" from application menu. if the previous setting is correct, you will be promted for the root password.
- edit/create the backup set. choose "/" as "included". choose destination folder, etc to your liking
- in exclude, accept the defaults and add "/dev", "/proc", and "/sys".
- on SuSE and other distros, there is a copy (actually a mount) of "/proc" as "/var/lib/ntp/proc". if you have this, make sure to also exclude.
- on the general settings, untick the "automatic host / user / profile" checkbox. in the user field, write "root".
- (failure to do so will make all interactive backups work, but all scheduled profiles will fail with "WARNING: Can't find snapshots folder !" error message - as the cron job does not know your user name, it will look for a folder ".../backintime/<yourmachinename>/root/" whereas the GUI app has created a ".../backintime/<yourmachinename>/<yourusername>/")
- define a schedule
- save settings. test and run an interactive backup.
- as root, run "crontab -l -u root" to test that the backup schedule has really been inserted.
- happy backuping...

See Why the Option of Your House to the Cash for House Companies is an Ideal One
There are several reasons which will call on you to sell your house property. When you are transferred or land an occupation which will get you away from the present town, or the house you presently occupy gets too small for your growing family size or yet you may have acquired an additional house by inheritance which may not be of use to you for occupancy, then these will be sure causes for you to get you in search of the ready buyers for such house property. The cash for house buyers are a real good deal for you in such cases where you need a speedy disposal of such property.
The cash for home buyers are a disposal method, for these are investors looking to buy houses, which is being adopted by many home sellers since it has advantages of a kind such as allowing the sellers to have the property settled and sold without them doing the renovations to them prior to selling-the "As is" sales and purchase offer. The realtors will be so demanding before they get your property listed on their website such as demands to have the house meeting all regulatory conditions and in the best possible condition. However, the cash for house buyers are there to offer you a purchase offer with the house in its very condition making the sale process a bit more comfortable and easy especially for the speed of the sale. These companies have the capital sufficient to enable them do all the desired renovations to the property with the home improvement services.
It may also be the case that you have an inheritance of a house which may be facing a number of issues with regulators and even the taxman as well. Such items of property will prove a real challenge when it comes to disposal and you can be sure to have such hurdles overcome when you strike a deal with the cash for house buyers. Whatever issues you may be facing of regulatory and tax issues you may be facing with your property you wish to place on offer, you can trust the cash house buyers to help you settle and have it sold as you wish. Cash house buyers are as well preferred for the fact that with them the costs attending the sale are minimized greatly as they do not do much for the staging process of the whole deal, will not require an commissions for the services and much more and as such their offers are nothing but an unbeatable offer.
