Ruth Marie Wilkins-Howell
Ruth Marie Wilkins-Howell
Passed away peacefully on July 12, 2013 in Vallejo, California, following a short illness at the age of 88. A celebration of life: Ruth was born on December 27, 1924 to Capitola Eugene and Floyd Ernst Stephenson, one of six children, in Headrick, Jackson County, Oklahoma, where she spent her early life on a farm outside the town. After graduation from High School, she worked briefly in Altus, Oklahoma before moving to San Antonio, Texas to live with her sister Floyda Helton. It was in San Antonio that Ruth met and married Wilfrid (Bill) Edwin Wilkins Jr. on June 21, 1946. Bill Wilkins had returned from serving in the navy in WWII to take over the neighborhood grocery store for his aging parents, located just around the corner from where Ruth was living. They had 33 good years of life together, until Bill unexpectedly passed away on June 29, 1979. After Bill's death, Ruth moved to Austin, Texas to be close to her son. It was in Austin that Ruth met Robert Howell at a Christian Singles Club; Ruth and Robert were married on October 28, 1984. Ruth joined Faith United Methodist Church where Robert had been a member since the 1950's and was a charter member. Both Ruth and Robert were very active at Faith UMC where she served on the Administrative Council for many years, also serving as church Secretary and Treasurer. Besides their very active life with their church family, they also enjoyed game nights with their many friends playing a variety of domino and card games. They also traveled extensively with their friends on shorter trips and were able to travel with her sons on many vacations around the United States, including Hawaii and cruise vacations. Following Robert's passing in November of 2005, Ruth moved to Vallejo, California to be close to her sons. For 6 years Ruth had her own apartment at Merrill Gardens of Vallejo, a beautiful retirement community where she was popular and loved by all, enjoying the field trips and many other social activities calendared monthly. The last 1½ years Ruth has lived with her sons. Ruth always kept her mind active by playing word puzzles and keeping up with her family. Ruth was preceded in death by her parents Capitola and Floyd, her husbands Bill and Robert, sisters Floyda Helton, Ernestine Dare, Pauline Seay and brother Larry Stephenson. Ruth is survived by her brother Bill Stephenson of Edmond, Oklahoma; her sons Wilfrid (Ed) Edwin Wilkins III, Michael H. Peters, Emmett Mitchell Howell, Robert Lynn Howell, daughter Sharon Louise Caldwell Howell, grandchildren Alycia Lynn, Adrienne Michelle, Dallas Mitchell and Heidi Erin Howell. Ruth is also survived by her many loving nieces and nephews living in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and other parts of the country. Over the last 25 years, Ruth never missed a family reunion; she lived to see her wonderful family. Ruth will be missed by all of us that loved her, but will remain in our hearts forever. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. at Mission Park Funeral Chapels South. Interment will follow at Mission Burial Park South

Nathan Delfouneso made a fast start to life at Burnley with a debut goal - hours after signing on loan.
Delfouneso put pen to paper on a deal to join the Clarets until the end of the season and was immediately drafted into the squad for the clash against Hull at the KC Stadium that very same evening.
And he marked his first start with a goal after just five minutes, beating another loanee Brad Guzan.
Guzan joined the Tigers on an emergency loan after spending two months - and 11 appearances - with them - earlier this season.
But England U21 striker Delfouneso was the star of this particular contest, endearing himself immediately to the fans with the winner as Burnley strengthened their promotion push.
Delfouneso delivered instant dividends to lead Eddie Howe's team to their fifth win in six contests.
Jay Rodriguez's set-piece delivery found its way into the penalty box for the star striker to stab home from close quarters.
The win pushes Burnley up to seventh in the Championship table, one place and three points off a play-off spot.
Guzan's Hull are in ninth and well in touch themselves as they eye Barclays Premier League football.
Barry Bannan played the final seven minutes for Leeds as they beat Preston 2-1 on their travels at Deepdale.
Exquisite midfield ace Bannan replaced one of the goalscorers, Neil Kilkenny, in the latter stages of the contest as Leeds strengthened their position in the play-offs, the Whites currently lying in fifth place.
Eric Lichaj played 90 minutes for Simon Grayson's side at right-back.
Forward Andreas Weimann was an unused substitute as Watford drew 1-1 away at Swansea, to leave them in 11th place in the Championship.
Meanwhile, in League One, Isaiah Osbourne played 85 minutes for Sheffield Wednesday as they defeated Oldham 3-2 at Boundary Park.
Two goals from Chris Sedgwick and one from Mark Beevers won the contest for the Owls as they moved up to 15th in the table.

Kenyan fighter jets attack Islamist bases in Somalia, kill 80: AU
June 23, 2014 - 16:12 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Kenyan fighter jets have attacked two bases belonging to Islamist al Shabaab insurgents in Somalia and killed at least 80 militants, African Union peacekeepers there said on Monday, June 23, according to Reuters.
The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), whose soldiers launched a new offensive against al Shabaab this year, said Kenyan planes carried out the raids on Anole and Kuday in the southern Lower Jubba region. It did not say when they took place.
"The air strikes in Anole left more than 30 al Shabaab fighters dead, three technical vehicles and one Land Cruiser loaded with ammunition destroyed," AMISOM said. More than 50 rebels were killed in the Kuday raid, it added.
Kenya first sent its troops into neighboring Somalia in 2011 after several attacks inside its territory that it blamed on al Shabaab, and later joined the peacekeeping force.
The militants have since carried out a string of assaults to punish Kenya for its intervention. Al Shabaab fighters killed at least 67 people in a raid on a Nairobi shopping mall last year.
AMISOM said al Shabaab had lost control of more than 10 major towns in the new push by African troops, including soldiers from Uganda, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Burundi and Sierra Leone.
"AMISOM continues to up the pressure on al Shabaab with a view to liberating more areas in forthcoming operations," the force said, according to Reuters.
Officials and diplomats have said towns cleared of Al Shabaab are in a dire state, with food stocks emptied and largely abandoned by their inhabitants, creating what one envoy described as "ghost towns".
They say al Shabaab still controls tracts of countryside, making it difficult for supplies to be moved to the towns.
Somalia's government is struggling to impose order since the AU peacekeepers, backed by Somali troops, drove al Shabaab out of the capital Mogadishu in 2011.
More than two decades of conflict have left Somalia in ruins, while al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab has continued guerrilla-style attacks and suicide bombings.
Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for last week's attack on the Kenyan coastal town of Mpeketoni that killed about 65 people, although Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta dismissed al Shabaab's account and said local politicians were behind it.
In a separate incident, an al Shabaab spokesman said the group had attacked Kenyan troops near the border with Kenya on Monday morning and had burned four trucks, killing those inside.
Kenya's defense forces denied there was any such fight.
Top stories
The shooting began after 6 p.m. in a McDonald's restaurant in the mall. The latest reports suggest that police are still evacuating the building.
Gunfire and explosions rocked both the main city Istanbul and capital Ankara in a chaotic night after soldiers took up positions in both cities.
German lawmakers in June passed a resolution recognizing the World War I massacre of Armenians by Ottoman forces as genocide.
The footballer and his father Jorge Messi were found guilty of three counts of tax fraud in July 6's ruling by a court in Barcelona.

Billions of plastic bags and waste are produced every year for a very short term of usage, but with quite a long life, and when they degrade they result in very toxic products. In some countries plastic bags are not allowed, but as this doesn't happen in most countries, for now let's hope this new plastic that degrades in seawater helps to make the world a little bit cleaner.
How? Well, this new plastic just degrades in 20 days and results on byproducts that are non toxic. There are currently many groups working on the development of this kind of plastic, but the first ones to get results have been the scientists at The University of Southern Mississippi (USM).

The seeds for Crabbe's big contract were laid in Portland a year before. Where he recommitted himself to improving and worked out daily with Trujeque to prepare himself for a bigger role with the Blazers and a bigger payday in free agency.
ASU football coach Todd Graham continues to recruit heavily in the state of Arizona.
The NFL is investigating the suspended player after a online video surfaces showing unidentified man and woman talking about a hand-rolled cigarette.
Arizona hosted its annual summer recruiting event — in the past it's been called 'OKG Day' but I didn't see that anywhere this time — and, strangely, this one was a bit quieter than usual.

Garrett Gomez, the country's leading rider by total purse earnings last year, was victorious with his first five mounts at Santa Anita on Saturday.
The five-bagger matched a personal high for the jockey, who turned 35 on New Year's Day. He recorded five winners at Chicago's Arlington Park on July 11, 1991, but it was first time he had won as many races with successive mounts.
Gomez's perfect afternoon came to an end in the seventh race when Rush Rush finished a fast-closing but non-threatening third. His winners: first race, Roosevelt, $4.80; second, Christmas Stocking, $5.80; third, Friendly Island, $3; fourth, Sven Steps, $7.20, and sixth, Comoros, $19.40.
Eastern-based Rafael Bejarano won six races at Santa Anita April 8, 2006. Laffit Pincay Jr. holds the track record of seven victories, set March 14, 1987.
Gomez is the leading rider at Santa Anita's current winter/spring meeting with 26 victories through 19 racing days. He holds a nine-win advantage over Victor Espinoza.
There is a Pick Six carryover of $162,699 into Sunday despite Gomez's consistency, the eighth carryover of the Santa Anita meet.

Abuse between borders: vulnerability for Burmese workers deported from Thailand
The Royal Thai Government appears poised to deport as many as 1.4 million workers that fail to complete "nationality verification" procedures by the end of February 2010. The majority of these workers are Burmese. Based upon extensive research conducted by KHRG and other organisations, it is likely that many of these workers came to Thailand not out of an apolitical desire for economic opportunity, but as a protection strategy initiated in response to the exploitative and violent abuse that drives poverty in their home areas. Moreover, even workers who do not face abuse upon return face abuse at the checkpoints to which Thai authorities transfer them during deportation procedures. These abuses include taxation, forced labour, beatings, killing and rape. Incidents documented in this report took place between November 2009 and February 2010.
At least 3.5 million individuals from Burma, approximately 7% of the country's population, currently reside abroad. Most of these people have left to seek employment in neighbouring countries, and the overwhelming majority do not have status as refugees or forced migrants, which would entitle them to host-government or UN assistance. Many of these workers also do not have visas, work permits or other forms of legal permission to work in foreign countries, making them vulnerable to exploitative abuse by trafficking agents, unscrupulous employers, police and government officials. While it is not the case that all of these workers left Burma to flee persecution, it is also not the case that they left apolitical poverty and sought financial opportunities abroad for the sake of personal convenience. In June 2009, KHRG released the report Abuse, Poverty and Migration: Investigating migrants' motivations to leave home in Burma, which concluded that most people traditionally understood as 'economic migrants' flee Burma to avoid the life-threatening poverty that results from persistent exploitative abuse; roughly 78% of Burmese workers interviewed by KHRG cited exploitative abuse as a factor that negatively affected their own, and their communities', economic situations in Burma. 1 This conclusion mirrors that of a study undertaken by the International Rescue Committee and Tufts University, which conducted more than 1,700 interviews among Burmese workers in Thailand during 2006. This study, which sought to assess the degree to which Burmese workers in Thailand merit international protection as refugees, concluded that "as many as fifty percent of Burmese working in Thailand merit further investigation as to their refugee status."2 Thailand is home to between two and three million Burmese workers; in 2010 Human Rights Watch concluded that they remain "largely unprotected by Thai labour laws" and are "vulnerable
See, Abuse, Poverty and Migration: Investigating migrants' motivations to leave home in Burma, KHRG, June 2009. 2 Invisible in Thailand: Documenting the need for international protection for Burmese, Tufts-International Rescue Committee Survey of Burmese Migrants in Thailand, April 2008.
to arrest, extortion, and other abuse."3 Many Burmese working in Thailand are due to become even more vulnerable at the end of February 2010, when the Royal Thai Government (RTG) has announced it will begin deporting workers who have not completed "nationality verification" procedures. For Burmese workers, this process would entail returning to Burma to register biographical information. At risk of being deported are as many as 1.4 million workers in Thailand that have not yet registered, the overwhelming majority of whom are from Burma.4 This potential 'mass deportation' has drawn outcry from rights groups and experts both inside and outside of Thailand, who worry that deported workers will be subject to abuse upon their return to Burma.5 On February 18th 2010, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the rights of Migrants Jorge A. Bustamante urged the RTG to reconsider its plan to deport unregistered workers. "Mass expulsion will result in unprecedented human suffering and will definitely breach fundamental human rights obligations," Bustamante said. "Among the groups who may potentially be deported there may be some who may be in need of international protection and should not be returned to the country of origin."6 Underscoring the vulnerability of Burmese workers deported from Thailand, Bustamante's statements came just two days after a 17-year-old Burmese worker was reportedly tortured and then executed by soldiers to whom he was handed over by RTG authorities. According to the Irrawaddy, RTG authorities deported the boy for working illegally, transferring him to the custody of the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA) at the 'Zero Gate' checkpoint south of the Thailand-Burma Friendship Bridge, which links the border towns of Myawaddy and Mae Sot, in Burma and Thailand respectively. According to a witness quoted by the Irrawaddy, the boy attempted to escape after being told he would be made to do forced labour if he could not pay to secure his release from the checkpoint. "The man was afraid because the DKBA told him that if he couldn't pay enough money, he would be sent to a force[d] labor camp," the Irrawaddy quoted their source as saying. "The man tried to escape, but he was caught and torture[d] and finally he was shot by DKBA soldiers on the same day."7 While the Irrawaddy's story could not be confirmed, Burmese workers in Thailand and KHRG field researchers have reported other incidents of violent and exploitative abuse following deportation of Burmese workers by RTG authorities, including taxation, forced labour, beatings and rape. Details of these abuses, which have all taken place following deportation to checkpoints controlled by the DKBA along the Moei River separating Myawaddy and Mae Sot, are in the section below.
Abuse of Burmese workers following deportation from Thailand
As of the end of 2009 there were a total of 11 gates along the Moei River in the immediate area of the Thailand-Burma Friendship Bridge between Myawaddy and Mae Sot; they stretch from DKBA Brigade #999 headquarters at Shwe Gko Gkoh, north of Mae Sot, to DKBA Gate 19, south of the bridge and opposite a trade gate operated by the RTG. These gates are largely ad
World Report, Human Rights Watch, January 2010. Amnesty International came to a similar conclusion in a report released in 2005, which urged the Thai government to "ensure that migrant workers are protected from harassment and extortion… and to ensure that the fundamental human rights of all migrant workers are respected." See, Thailand: The Plight of Burmese Migrant Workers, Amnesty International, June 2005. 4 "Thailand Serious About Deporting Unregistered Migrant Workers," The Irrawaddy, February 2010. 5 See, for instance, this statement from an international federation of Worker's Unions: "Resistance Builds Against Thai Migrant Worker Expulsion," International Federation of Chemical, Energy, Mine and General Workers' Unions, February 2010. 6 "UN expert on migrants raises alarm on threat of massive deportations from Thailand," Thai News Agency, February 2010. 7 "Returned Burmese Migrant Killed by DKBA," The Irrawaddy, February 2010.
hoc, however, and their number, locations and the various prices charged for crossing as an individual or with goods to trade vary according to the local economic, military and political situation. 8 Daily crossings for local people circumventing official immigration and trade procedures are cheap, facilitating cross-border traffic. These crossing are undoubtedly lucrative for State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) Army soldiers, civilian officials, police, Na Sa Ka, 9 DKBA soldiers and Karen Peace Force10 soldiers that operate them, if more for the volume of traffic than the cost of each individual crossing. At least three DKBA checkpoints, however, earn substantial income from deportation procedures facilitated by the RTG. Burmese workers deported by RTG officials are transferred to Burma via DKBA checkpoints, where they must make large payments before being released into Burma or simply returning to Thailand. KHRG researchers and Burmese workers in Thailand report that these payments vary from 1,000 to 2,000 baht (US $30 to $60). The payments differ for a variety of reasons, but it is likely that a crucial factor affecting pricing is the location from where a worker is being deported; workers deported from Bangkok, where they can be expected to have earned a higher income, are charged more than workers deported from Mae Sot. While KHRG could not confirm the number of workers deported through these checkpoints, a researcher who monitored them during January 2010 concluded that one checkpoint received 200 to 300 workers every week. Even with the absolute lowest estimates for the payments charged, the number of trucks arriving per week, and their total occupants, just one of the confirmed three DKBA checkpoints receiving deported workers is likely earning at least 200,000 baht (US $6,033) per week, or just under 10.5 million baht (US $317,000) per year. RTG deportation procedures, then, appear to be directly providing a large amount of funds11 for an armed group that KHRG has extensively documented committing human rights abuses including forced labour, forced conscription of children and adults as soldiers, arbitrary violence and summary execution, mining of civilian areas and the burning of villages. 12 Even more alarming are the RTG's plans to deport potentially more than 1 million unregistered Burmese workers at the end of February, which appear poised to exponentially increase the DKBA's earnings if even a fraction of these workers are returned via DKBA checkpoints. The DKBA appears to have streamlined the method by which deported workers ordered to make payments can secure their release, even in situations in which deported workers have no cash on hand, either because they have no money or because it was taken by the RTG officials that arrested or detained them. Workers deported from the immediate Mae Sot area are given a phone with which they can call friends or family to come and pay for their release. Workers from farther inside Thailand, meanwhile, are told to contact friends or family and direct them to transfer funds via hundi brokers in Mae Sot, Bangkok or elsewhere.13

"Migrant Worker Remittances and Burma: An Economic Analysis of Survey Results," in Dictatorship,
Deported workers that cannot pay to secure their release, meanwhile, are made to serve as forced labourers until they have paid off the cost of their release. In January 2010, a worker deported from Mae Sot via DKBA Zero Gate told KHRG that he spoke with workers at the checkpoint who were being made to build a restaurant near the checkpoint. This interview is provided in full as Appendix 1. The KHRG researcher that monitored the checkpoints, meanwhile, said that workers are also sent to other locations to complete work. This researcher reported that workers earn just 50 baht (US $1.50) per day for their labour, meaning that it could take more than three weeks of forced labour for a worker without any external financial support to secure his or her release. Indeed, the worker who spoke with KHRG in January said that he met a young man at Zero Gate who said he had already been there for 20 days. In other cases where deported workers do not have the income or external support to secure their release, trafficking agents sometimes make payments on their behalf. Workers in this situation are then beholden to the agent, and must work to pay off their debt, often at interest. These circumstances can also lead to extreme exploitation, as workers are exchanged like commodities. In December 2009, for instance, 17-year-old Ma A--- described to KHRG how she was repeatedly raped after she was purchased from the agent who paid to secure her release from a DKBA checkpoint. Ma A---, who had been working in Bangkok since April 2005, had been arrested after she had complained about not receiving wages and her employer turned her over to police. After spending time in immigration detention centres (IDCs) in Bangkok and Mae Sot, she was sent to a DKBA checkpoint where a trafficking agent paid 1,800 baht (US $54) to take her back to Mae Sot. After 18 days in which the agent was apparently unable to return her to work in Bangkok, she was sold for 2,000 baht (US $60) to a man that took her back to his home in ---. Ma A--- told KHRG that this man pressured her to marry a male friend, which she refused. Over the course of the next three days, before she was able to escape, she was raped twice. An audio recording and translated transcript of this interview is on file with KHRG, but it has been withheld for Ma A---'s security.
Burmese workers in Thailand are an intensely vulnerable population, subject to abuse by human traffickers, unscrupulous employers, police and government officials. Many of these workers, moreover, come to Thailand not out of an apolitical desire for economic opportunity, but as a protection strategy initiated in response to the exploitative and violent abuse that drives poverty in their home areas. Many will again be threatened by the very abuses they have sought to avoid if they are forced to return to these areas at the end of February. Highlighting the vulnerability of returned workers, even those who are not at significant risk of human rights abuse in their home areas face abuse at the checkpoints to which Thai authorities transfer them during deportation procedures. Because of these risks, national governments, including the RTG, international agencies, and humanitarian organisations currently (or potentially) operating on Burma's borders should acknowledge the legitimate protection concerns of migrants living outside of officially-recognised refugee camps and lacking legal refugee status.14 The "nationality verification" process should be extended and modified to address these concerns, while protection assistance should be expanded to include vulnerable migrants. Moreover, given that all workers are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation during deportation, as in the incidents described in this report, the RTG should also immediately cease returning workers to checkpoints controlled by the DKBA.

Appendix 1
Interview | Saw K--- (Male, 30), Mae Sot, Thailand (January 2010) How long have you been in Mae Sot? It has been already over ten years. When were you arrested by the Thai police? I was arrested on Monday January 18th 2010. I was arrested at ---. How were you treated after being arrested? One of the police took 350 baht (US $10.50) and the other one took 120 baht (US $3.60) for transportation costs [for transporting him from where he was arrested to the police station]. First they kept me in one small jail for over an hour and then they took me to the two-story prison in Mae Sot and I had to sleep there one night. They didn't provide us any food to eat. Luckily there is one small shop selling rice and other food in the prison. I have to buy food for myself. I don't know the name of the prison. Did you have to give your thumbprint? The next day they sent us to the immigration office close to the border and we had to make ten finger prints and stay there for four hours. When evening came at six o'clock they sent me to the other side of the [Moei River] to the DKBA. I heard them call the gate "DKBA #999 Zero Gate." It is located above15 the Friendship Bridge. When we arrived there, they didn't provide us any rice. Did they question you, when you arrived at the DKBA checkpoint? They didn't ask me anything. They just fined me 1,000 baht (US $30). They said, "You have to pay 1,000 baht for your freedom." If I didn't give them money, they wouldn't let me go. There were some people who were there ahead of me and those people were not provided any food. For me, when I arrived there, they took my hand phone and 500 baht (US $15). As soon as I entered the gate, a man said in a strong and rude voice, "Take off your bag," and then they searched my bag and asked me, "Do you carry a knife?" I told him that I didn't have a knife and only carried my clothes. Then I had to sleep one night in a small hut with no blanket. It was very cold during the night. How many people were sent back together with you? Over 30 people were in the same truck as me. Almost all of the people were taken out that evening and only I and one other person were left [at the DKBA checkpoint] in addition to five or six other people who were there before we arrived. One young man about 20 or more years old had been there for 20 days already. Nobody came to take him out. He had to work from six o'clock in the morning to the late evening. He could only have food when he worked; if he didn't work they wouldn't give him any rice. People there scolded him and beat and punched him. An old lady was also there last night. She hadn't had any rice for five days so I bought some rice for her.
Note that DKBA #999's Zero Gate is located south of the Thai-Burma Friendship Bridge between Mae Sot and Myawaddy. The interviewee likely describes it as located 'above' the Friendship Bridge because the Moei River flows from south to north, making Zero Gate upstream of the Friendship Bridge.
What will happen to those who could not leave the checkpoint? For those people who didn't have anyone to come and take them out, they have to stay there and work. This morning they'll build a new restaurant near the checkpoint. So, those people [still at the checkpoint] have to work on the construction. What happened when the Thai police sent you back to Burma? They sent us to the river bank and there were two or three motorbikes following after the truck carrying us. As soon as we arrived at the river bank, most of the people were taken away before the rest of us were sent to other side of the river. Those who were taken out were mostly women. After that we were asked to get on the boat and crossed the river to the other side. When they took your belongings what did they say? One of the women who took my belongings told me in Burmese, "Brother, give me your phone and 500 baht here and I'll note down your name. If you go and sleep there [at the DKBA checkpoint], the soldiers will take your things so I'll keep them for you here and give them back tomorrow morning." But the next morning I couldn't find the woman who kept my phone and 500 baht. If someone wants to take a relative from that checkpoint, normally how much do they have to pay? They said we had to pay 1,000 baht each. But the lady who stayed there said only I had to pay 1,000 baht. She said the lady who stayed there [already for 5 days without rice] would have to pay 1,600 baht (US $48). Were there any young boys or girls in your group? Yes, before I left the place, there were still two Pwo Karen girls who came back from Bangkok. They hadn't contacted anyone yet. They were not provided any food and they were crying a lot. What do you want to say concerning the Thai police and DKBA that detained you? I don't feel good. I don't have very much money and they shouldn't treat us like this. We are Karen and have no country. We have to go somewhere. We have to secretly seek work. When we get there, they shouldn't treat us like this. If you compare the prisons on the Thai side and on the DKBA checkpoint side, because you spent one night at each place, which do you think is better? They are the same because on both sides they didn't provide any food for us. We had to buy it for ourselves. We had to sleep with no blanket the whole night. It was very cold during the night. Were there any SPDC soldiers at the place you were kept on the Burma side? There were no SPDC soldiers at that checkpoint. They were all DKBA soldiers.

The guy put a split pastic bottle on a tomto sucker, similar to (same as) air layering, and grew a fantastic rooted plant in two weeks.
Does anyone here root suckers?
Rooting tomato suckers
Cool video
How cool is that?!? Hmmm - all kinds of ideas...matter a fact I was very concerned about rooting one of my prized jasmines. I'm going to look for a small bottle and do this - this weekend...will take photos and let y'all know how it turns out. Thanks Sally!!
I think RosesR Red did some airlayering last summer....yoo hoo Roses..
I have rooted some tomato suckers--a few years ago.
I did not use anything over them. Just kept them out of the sun.
I think I gave these to someone at work--so I cannot tell you how (if) they grew out.
After all--if we can bury the whole stem of a tomato plant underground--and it roots--
why would not a sturdy sucker root? G.
That is pretty neat. Yes RRR has a plastic ball that you fill with dirt and put over the stem. Just like the old root layering method. I have been wanting to try rooting my Prince of Orange I might give that a try.
Where does one get this magic plastic ball?
Have to ask Roses where she got it, ordered it on line from somewhere. It isn't much different than what they did with the bottle it's just a plastic ball that you fill both halves with dirt and press the two sides together over the stem and I think it screws together. You can do the same thing with plastic bags you twist tie a bag on the stem at the bottom and fill it with moist dirt then twist tie it together at the top. For some plants you would make a slight cut in the stem and stick a toothpick into the cut to keep it open. Then put your bag, ball or bottle over that cut.
Can't you just take a cutting from a tomato plant and root it in water? I think my Mom might have done that ... not sure.
Love that bottle idea. I might try it with an easy-to-root shrub, maybe a hydrangea, just to see how it works.
Sure can Happy, Tomatoes are one of the easiest things to root. You can plant a tomato lengthwise and little baby tomatoes will pop up all along the buried stem.
Yes, too. The bottle thing, the youtube guy felt gave a stronger sucker.

SYS-CON Events announced today the latest event in its innovative series of real-world technology conferences, 1st Annual Government IT Conference & Expo (GovITExpo), a two-day deep dive into the new wave of Internet-based technologies that are changing the way that Federal agencies leverage, procure and utilize IT.
GovITExpo, which is being held October 5-6, 2009 in Washington, DC, builds on the success of SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Expo, the fastest-growing conference anywhere in the world devoted to the delivery of massively scalable IT as a service using Internet technologies. Data storage, security and software services are among the major themes of the technical program.
Cloud Computing will be one of the main tracks. According to the Washington Post this week, the U.S. Census Bureau is using Salesforce's cloud to manage the activities of about 100,000 partner organizations across the country. And the Defense Department's technology arm has already set up a cloud to let the military rent storage space or use remote software programs. Companies like online application provider NetSuite have shifted their focus to federal sales, on the basis that what works for Enterprise IT can also work for Government.
There will be breakout sessions on the security issues that are unique to the Cloud, such as the crucial distinction between Private and Public clouds. There will be sessions too on the Data.gov vision of Vivek Kundra, America's first Chief Information Officer. Expert speakers from government and the software industry alike will be looking at issues such as the requirements for how companies can handle government information and how information can be most successfully shared by multiple clouds.
With major companies like Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Sun, HP and Google all currently championing various cloud computing offerings for the federal government, there will be no shortage of exhibitors either on the Expo Floor.
Doing more with less is the new reality for most IT departments, and the Government is no exception. So the cost-effectiveness of technologies such as Virtualization will also be foremost on the agenda.
Alongside the Cloud Computing and Virtualization tracks there will also be a standalone track on Security & Compliance.
"Our organizing principle at GovITExpo is that, through our intensive two-day schedule of keynotes, general and breakout sessions, attending delegates will be assured of leaving the event with abundant resources, ideas and examples they can apply immediately to whatever federal agency they work for or with - helping agencies to maximize performance, minimize cost and improve the efficiency and scalability of their IT initiatives," said Jeremy Geelan, Sr. Vice-President, SYS-CON Events.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard.

Australian broadcaster Nine Network has installed AmberFin iCR systems for video file transcoding and audio and caption processing at its new National Playout Centre (NPC) in Sydney.
Nine Network's NPC is a highly efficient, file-based, HD broadcast facility. It simplifies operations by centralizing all playout for Channel Nine's 18 channels across Australia, using a single HD file format (XDCAM-HD 50Mb/s).
"Our decision to standardize on a single HD format for all playout presented a number of challenges, since commercials and other promotional content are often delivered to us in a variety of standard definition file formats," said Murray Robinson, Engineering Manager - NPC at Channel Nine. "Moreover, captions provided in the original content, which have to be kept and transmitted to air, are also often stored in these standard definition video files, using a variety of different methods."
Following a thorough evaluation of possible solutions, Nine Network chose to work with AmberFin and its local distributor Quinto Communications.
Using AmberFin's iCR Nine Network, working with AmberFin and Quinto Communications, developed a solution that provides Nine with the highest possible quality file-to-file SD to HD conversion while retaining all captions present in the original files.
iCR is used to extract the captions carried in a variety of formats from source files, and then re-insert the captions into the XDCAM-HD media.
To meet Nine's audio output specifications iCR remaps the audio tracks as part of the file transcoding process to cater for both stereo audio and Dolby 5.1 surround sound.

Ameriabank posts AMD 2.9 billion net profit growth in 1st halfyear of 2014
July 22, 2014 - 19:03 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Ameriabank's net profit in the first six months of 2014 increased by 3% to AMD 2.9 billion, the banks' financial director told a July 22 news conference, ARKA reported.
"At first glance this figure looks modest, but not when we compare it with a 13.6 percent combined drop posted by the country's banking system," Gevorg Tarumyan said.
According to him, all indicators of Ameriabank's growth rate significantly outperform those of the banking system as a whole.
He said Ameriabank's assets in the first half of 2014 increased by 9% to AMD 343 billion, while the overall banking system saw a 0.7 percent decline. Also, the bank's total commitment in the first half rose by almost 10% to AMD 303 billion, while the banking system reported a 2 percent drop.
"In terms of assets size and liabilities, Ameriabank is the leading bank in Armenia," he said. According to him, the bank's credit portfolio increased by about 9% to AMD 192 billion, placing it second among all 21 local commercial banks by the size of loan portfolio.
"We are particularly pleased by a 15 percent rise in lending to small and medium-sized businesses, which is our target segment," Tarumyan said.
As of June 30, the bank's SME loan portfolio stood at 38 billion drams, he explained. He also mentioned a 30 percent surge in liabilities which rose to AMD 221 billion.
"This is a very important indicator as it reflects the trust of our clients," Tarumyan said.
In particular, term deposits of individual customers amounted to AMD 75 billion, an increase of 11 percent in six months, and an increase of 33 percent against the same period in 2013, he said.
Ameriabank CJSC is a universal bank offering corporate, investment and retail banking services in a comprehensive package of banking solutions.

J.J. Watt & Pacman Jones Lead Texans to First Playoff Victory Ever
JJ Watt's hands: Worth a number-one draft pick
A packed, loud and raucous Reliant Stadium crowd saw the highlight of rookie JJ Watt's life as the defensive lineman's incredible pick-six led the Texans to a 31-10 playoff win.
Equally helping Houston's cause was Bengals corner Pacman Jones, who was comically burned on a TJ Yates-to-Andre Johnson TD bomb.
Another star of the game: was the crowd, so noisy that it forced the Bengals into errors that helped limit the Bengals to a mere 10 points.
The whole game was terrific, even through a somewhat dull first half that saw both teams battle nerves and ineptitude on offense.

Now the Texans travel to Baltimore, another team that struggles on offense and tries to dominate on defense.
Watt's 29-yard TD return after an plucking a pass out of the air as he rushed Cincy QB Andy Dalton gave the Texans the lead for good in the first half.
After that, Johnson all but broke Pacman Jones's ankles with a double-move on a 40-yard TD pass from Yates; NBC reports Jones went to the sidelines and shoved the team's D-coordinator out of the way when he tried to talk to him.
Arian Foster, who took the Weird Haircut award away from

In spring 2006 I was happily working as a university lecturer and working for the government implementing education strategy – June and I was redundant. I spent the next 6 months "trying" to be a consultant but as I did not invoice anyone I was really unemployed and realised that I was not good at selling myself – I could sell anyone else anything else – but asking you to pay for me and my time …….
In early 2007 after a random email I found myself studying NLP, coaching, education studying mindset with Chris Howard, Johnnie Cass and Joanna Martin (similar to Tony Robbins only more effective in my opinion).
I changed the way I looked at the world – I realised that everything was my responsibility, my choice, my decisions. The life I had was as a result of what I had done or not done and so the life I wanted would come as a result of what I did or did not do. That's why I say that "what you do today will change what you can do forever".
I could do the hard luck story, single parent bullied child, divorced, bankrupt etc but that is not how I see myself – I acknowledge they were lessons and challenges I faced - that they have shaped who I am but they do not define who I will or could become.
In the remake of Total Recall Houser (the Arne character played by Colin Farrell) says he wants to go into the mind machine the have his memories returned, and when asked why he replies "I want to remember"
"Why?" asks Bill Nighy as the rebel leader. Mattius.
"So I can be myself be who I was"
Mattius replies "It is each man's quest to find out who he truly is but the answer to that lies in the present not in the past as it is for all of us."
Houser "But the past tells us who we've become"
Mattius "The past is a construct of the mind, it blinds us, it fools us into believing it, but the heart wants to live in the present, look there, you'll find your answer."

BAYONNE, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Concerned Coptic Christians in New Jersey have watched from afar as the violence in Egypt has unfolded, believing their faith is under attack, CBS 2's Christine Sloan reported.
Father Rafael, who leads a Coptic Christian church in Bayonne, N.J., says his heart breaks when he sees Coptic houses of worships, schools and businesses being burnt to the ground there.
"I am praying," said Father Rafael, who has family in Egypt.
The country has seen a violent fallout since the July 3 coup that unseated President Mohammed Morsi, an Islamist who became Egypt's first freely elected president following former President Hosni Mubarak's ouster in 2011. The post-coup crackdown has left more than 1,000 people dead and hundreds in detention.
Father Rafael said nearly 80 churches have been set on fire in the past week. Coptic-American organizations blame the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi supporters.
"Because they are trying to create pressure on the church to give up," said Samouel Saleeb, a worshipper in Bayonne whose cousin and another relative were killed in the violence. He said the five men responsible for the slayings were members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
"I felt a horrible because my cousin wasn't my age," Saleeb said. "He was 25 years old, and he just got married three months ago. … Why should he die? Why?"
New Jersey has the largest population of Coptic Christians in the United States. Copts say they have been persecuted for centuries but that the violence got worse when Morsi came to power.
Father Rafael was in Alexandria, Egypt, in 2012, when a church was burnt down there. He also said he saw mobs smash crosses in churches.
"He witnessed the church bombing and carried one of these bodies that's been killed," Saleeb said.
The Coptic-American community has asked the military to protect churches, and worshippers there have formed a political party so they might have a voice in government.
