A group of Azerbaijani human rights organizations has launched a ten month public advocacy campaign during the run up to the Eurovision 2012 song contest, which will be held on May 22 in Baku. The campaign will cover not only Azerbaijan but also other Council of Europe member states.
Domestic and international NGOs working in the field of human rights and democratization are invited to join the campaign.
As the winners of the Eurovision 2011 song contest (May 14 2011, Dusseldorf, Germany), Azerbaijan will host Eurovision 2012. This international event provides a valuable platform for raising awareness of the challenges Azerbaijan is currently facing in the sphere of human rights and in European integration, and offers new opportunities for their resolution. As well as being a cultural event, this victory also has public and political importance for Azerbaijani society. Azerbaijan should serve not only as the physical host of the song contest but also as a genuine participating member of the European family, which entails the respect of democratic values.
"Sing for democracy" uses Eurovision as platform to advocate for the protection of human rights and democratic values in Azerbaijan, followed by targeted lobbying for the implementation of specific democratic reforms.
Why is the campaign necessary?
Despite Azerbaijan's accession to the Council of Europe, the past ten years have not seen the deep-rooted public-political reforms and guarantees of human rights and democratic values that are necessary for integration with the European community. Although Azerbaijan is a member of both the OSCE and the Council of Europe, all recent elections have been marred by legal violations. Journalists, political parties and civic groups are prevented from functioning freely. Freedom of expression, freedoms of association and peaceful assembly, and property rights are under threat. The existence of political prisoners, the fact that people who exercise their freedom of peaceful assembly find themselves arrested under various fabricated charges, and the serious restrictions on freedom of expression and political pluralism raise questions about Azerbaijan's place in the European community.
The primary aim of this campaign is to encourage political authorities, including the president and national parliament, to make demonstrated efforts towards providing political-economic freedoms and eliminating political persecution.
The specific campaign objectives are to:
- Use the Eurovision song contest and the international attention it will bring as a platform to campaign for democratic reforms;
- Raise awareness among the local and international community of the human rights situation in Azerbaijan, and the need to ensure democratic reforms
Campaign focuses:
1. Political prisoners: People who are considered by domestic and international human rights organizations to be political prisoners (eg. youth activist Bakhtiyar Hajiyev and other prisoners of concience), as well as those whose right to a fair trial has been violated, should either be released from prison, or the relevant court decisions should be revisited.
2. Broadcasting transparency: Contrary to its status, Azerbaijan's Public TV (Ictimai) - a member of the European Broadcasting Council and organizer of Eurovision 2012 in Azerbaijan - is failing to create the necessary conditions for political pluralism. The channel does not provide full coverage of local news; nor does it broadcast objective/independent information on government activity. Political discrimination in this area must be eliminated; political parties; and civil associations with alternative opinions should be provided with airtime, and the activity of Public TV must be improved.
3. Media and political freedoms: Restrictions on the freedoms of expression, association and peaceful assembly, which are the main guarantees for political participation, must be lifted in Azerbaijan. Persecution and detention of the people who exercise these rights must cease.
4. Property rights: According to the research by human rights organizations, during 2009-2010, twenty thousand people were illegally evicted by the executive authorities in Azerbaijan's capital city of Baku. Private homes have been demolished as part of a 'beautification' process in anticipation of Eurovision. Threats to private property must be reduced and property rights must be better protected.
5. Judicial: Pressures on independent lawyers and human rights defenders should be stopped. Cases of abuse and/or torture in prisons must be investigated and those responsible brought to justice. The capacities of the Ombudsman Apparatus must be properly exercised.
6. Visa liberalization: Visa regulations for the citizens of the member-states of the Council of Europe traveling to Azerbaijan should be simplified and impediments on issuing visas should be removed.

text: RICHMOND, Va., June 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Virginia Power crews are repairing damage to return electrical service to more than 283,000 customers affected by a severe windstorm Thursday evening. As of noon today, crews had restored power to more than 70 percent of the customers affected by the storm. Work will continue around the clock until power has been restored to all customers and will involve crews from electric utilities in other states. Restoration is expected to be completed today in northern Virginia and by Saturday night in nearly all other areas. Work will continue into Sunday for the locations most heavily affected by the high sustained winds and hurricane-force gusts of up to 80 miles per hour. Those areas include parts of Southside Virginia, Chesterfield, Petersburg, York County and James City County. Restoration time estimates for individual customers are expected to be available tomorrow morning. "We are focused on the safety of the public and our crews as we work to restore power as quickly as possible," said Rodney Blevins, vice president of electric distribution operations. "Please stay away from downed lines and anything touching them – assume they are energized, and report them to us. "We also ask that you help protect our linemen when you see them on the roadside making emergency repairs by moving over from the lane nearest the workers or by slowing down until you pass the site of the repairs." Customers can report and check the status of power outages when using the company's website at www.dom.com via smartphone, other mobile device or computer. You will need the account number or 10-digit phone number listed on the account, and the last four digits of your Social Security number, federal tax identification number or PIN. Another way to report an outage is by calling the automated phone system at 1-866-DOM-HELP (1-866-366-4357). Follow safe operating procedures for electric generators. Never operate one inside your home or in an enclosed space, such as a garage. Do not connect portable generators directly to the electrical system of your home. Electricity could flow backward onto Dominion's power lines and endanger lives. Either have a qualified electrician perform the work or plug appliances directly into the generator using the proper-sized extension cords. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and can be deadly, so run your generator outside with proper ventilation. Store the fuel for your generator safely.

Discredited evolutionary theories
|We're all homos here
|Relevant Hominidae
|A Gradual Science
|Plain Monkey Business
Scientists who study evolution come in many varieties, with conflicting theories about the nature and causes of evolution. Many theories eventually fall by the wayside, but can provide ammunition for the more scattershot of creationists who think that any attack on evolution by a biologist undermines evolutionary theory as a whole.
[edit] Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829)
Lamarck theorised that organisms evolve through passing on characteristics acquired in life. In the years before Darwin, Lamarck's ideas were favoured, but eventually drifted from their previous esteem for lack of supporting evidence. Only in France did Lamarckism survive in academic circles, and then only through misplaced patriotism. Lamarckism was also an influence on Lysenkoism.
[edit] Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1772-1844)
An early 19th-century naturalist, Geoffroy's theories on evolution had far to go before they could be accepted. In fact his lack of evidence for his ideas (which relied in part on non-materialist thinking), in the face of attack by brilliant rivals such as Cuvier, meant that evolutionary theory was slow to take hold in scientific circles at the start of the century.
[edit] Herbert Spencer (1820-1903)
Spencer originally based his evolutionary ideas on Lamarck's until the works of Charles Darwin were published, which Spencer incorporated into his own writings. Spencer is considered to be one of the most prominent exponents of social Darwinism.
[edit] Francis Galton (1822-1911)
A half-cousin of Charles Darwin, Galton was a staunch proponent of Darwinian evolution. However, he also originated the concept of eugenics by applying it to society and politics.
[edit] Nils Heribert Nilsson (1883-1955)
While Nilsson's works, in particular a short article in German, have been used to discredit evolution, his outlandish theory of emication cannot be taken seriously these days. Only the most badly-informed and foolhardy of creationists would use him as a weapon against the evil Darwinian baby-eaters.
[edit] Trofim Lysenko (1898-1976)
Lysenko propounded a Lamarckian-derived version of evolution and denounced Mendelian genetics as a "bourgeois pseudoscience." He was the recipient of Josef Stalin's political favoritism and helped to cause famine in the Soviet Union.
[edit] Stuart Pivar (1930-)
Pivar holds that there is an archetypal substance, a self-organized pre-embryonic structure, which shapes the form of all living organisms. He has no evidence of such a substance, and likes to sue people who say it ain't so.
[edit] Christian Schwabe (1930-)
Christian Schwabe denies common descent, partly because there are no intermediate forms between molecules. Or something.

The short answer to the question in the title is: In Whidbey, ^ and gcnew are
mostly all you're likely to use, if all you're doing with .NET is consuming (using)
.NET Frameworks types and services. Post-Whidbey, you could even dispense with
those and use * and new, because we intend to support
allocating CLI objects on the native heap with new and pointing at
them with *'s.
Alisdair Meredith recently asked me:
"I am still trying to work out the target audience […] I can see 2 ways of approaching
the CLI binding:
"i/ I want to write all my code in ISO conformant C++, and will use CLI binding
as a public interface layer to handle targetting a .NET environment.
"ii/ I write all my code in this new C++ .NET dialect, as I only want to target
.NET, and I get to use all the familiar goodies of C++ along with all the new
goodies in .NET and the binding.
"Clearly, market (ii) will be much happier with the more sugary extension such
as for each, abstract etc."
This is a very good point, and I'll use it as a hook to talk about the two major categories
of use I see for the C++/CLI extensions.
I do think the current design serves both markets well. In particular, note that nearly
all of the extensions will only be used by people authoring CLI types, so:
Group (ii) is going to go whole hog using .NET and authoring new types, and
is well served by more elegant/sugary syntax.
Group (i) is simply going to be consuming the CLI types, probably not author
them, and will probably only ever need ^ and gcnew.
What's more, in the post-Whidbey timeframe when we complete the support for allocating
any object (including CLI objects) on the native heap using new,
people could actually consume CLI / .NET Frameworks types seamlessly in their application
without any new syntax. Of course, under the covers we'll be creating a proxy object
each time, so there's a probably-slight performance impact to doing it this way, but
it's worth noting that you'll be able to do this eventually.
Finally, I should also add that we intend to emit warnings by default when any of
the extensions are used with native (i.e., normal C++) types, so that people will
know when they are using a nonstandard (well, non-ISO-C++-standard at any ware) extension
in a class that would otherwise be portable.

While browsing the net, I found this problem somewhere – to write a code that tests the given two strings are anagrams or not. From Wiki,
"An anagram is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letter of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once; for example orchestra can be rearranged into carthorse."
I tried to solve this problem using Java and below is the result of it. The algorithm I tried is very simple:
- Clean the input – remove all the spaces and punctuation marks (because it doesn't affect the compassion).
- Go through character by character from string one and check if that character exists in string two.
- If exists, then remove it from string two and move on to next character. If not exists, then we found a mismatch and the string is not an anagram.
- If all character from string one exists in string two, then we found it's an anagram.
Java code to test two strings are anagrams:
public class AnagramTester { public static void main(String[] args) { String one = "The United States of America"; String two = "Attaineth its cause, freedom"; System.out.println(new AnagramTester().test(one, two)); } public boolean test(String a, String b) { boolean result = true; StringBuilder one = new StringBuilder(a.replaceAll("[\\s+\\W+]", "").toLowerCase()); StringBuilder two = new StringBuilder(b.replaceAll("[\\s+\\W+]", "").toLowerCase()); if (one.length() == two.length()) { int index = -1; for (char c : one.toString().toCharArray()) { index = two.indexOf(String.valueOf(c)); if (index == -1) { result = false; break; } two.deleteCharAt(index); } } else { result = false; } return result; } }
I tested the above code with most of the anagrams found in the Anagram Site and it worked well.
If you think the above code can be improved in someway, feel free to comment.

One of my favorite spring events in Williamsburg is Art on the Square. Every spring artists line the streets in Merchant Square with merchandise, shows and exhibits. This year, the Junior Womans Club is hosting its 53rd annual Art on the Square on Sunday, April 24, from 10am-5pm. This event features more than 170 artists from all over the country and is free to the public. While you are browsing the art show, stop and have lunch at one of our wonderful restaurants in Merchant Square. Spend the weekend, and just walk up the street to our Century Old Williamsburg Bed and Breakfast, A Williamsburg White House where you can find beautiful accommodations for that special Spring Weekend Getaway. We are looking forward to a beautiful weekend with great artists and lots of fun! Follow them on their Facebook page.

Osteoporosis Screening is available at our Women's Centers at Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Greentree (Marlton), Turnersville, Voorhees, Washington Township, Cross Keys and West Deptford locations.
What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a significant health problem that affects more than 25 million women in the United States and potentially 200 million worldwide. This disease is characterized by diminished structural integrity of the skeleton (particular of the trabecular "spongy" bone) which results in an increased risk of fracture.
Osteoporosis is a condition that develops silently and often without symptoms over a period of years, eventually progressing to a point where a fracture can easily occur causing pain and disability. The post-menopausal female population has the highest incidence of osteoporosis and the highest death rate due to the disease.
Throughout life, bones maintain themselves through a process known as remodeling in which old bone matrix is removed (resorption) and new bone matrix is formed. In early adulthood, the levels of bone resorption and bone formation are balanced. During menopause, estrogen levels decline causing bone resorption to exceed bone formation, resulting in a loss of bone mass.
Studies indicate that women may lose several percent of their skeleton each year, with the most rapid loss occurring in the years immediately after menopause. Men are also at risk for developing osteoporosis. It is estimated that about 50% of women and up to 25 % of men older than 50 years of age will break a bone because of osteoporosis.
The National Osteoporosis Foundation estimates that osteoporosis is responsible for approximately 1.5 million fractures annually in the United States. Hip fractures lead to the most serious consequences. As many as one in every five hip fracture patients may die from complications within a year after fracture. One in every four will require long-term care, and an even higher percentage of hip fracture patients will never return to an active and independent lifestyle.
How do I know if I have osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis, like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, is often a silent disorder. An osteoporosis (DEXA) scan can identify individuals at increased risk for fracture. DEXA stands for dual photon x-ray absorptiometry.
Is osteoporosis preventable and treatable?
Until recently, osteoporosis was thought to be a natural consequence of aging. However, with the increased focus on women's health issues and preventive medical practices, this attitude is changing. There are over 70 clinical studies currently in progress to assess the safety and effectiveness of new therapies to treat this disease. This push by the pharmaceutical industry to develop new therapies, coupled with the increased recognition of the disease as a preventable and treatable condition, bodes well for women who want to maintain independent and active lifestyles.
How do I prepare for a Dexa scan?
You should not take any calcium supplements the day before or the day of the exam. You should avoid having any exam that requires contrast for seven days before your Dexa scan.

As a SharePoint consultant, chances are that the clients will always ask for the latest "SharePoint Best Practices" for business users and technical perspectives while I'm consulting on-site with them.
While I'm continuously evolving my own version of "SharePoint Best Practices" pack, I find that "SharePoint 2010 Best practice" from "Microsoft TechNet Wiki" can be extremely handy and resourceful. (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/8666.sharepoint-2010-best-practices-en-us.aspx)
The wiki is a growing article and I've subscribed to it so that I can stay in touch. There are already some excellent resources and I've learnt of several new sources that I'm going to follow up.
The Wiki has the following Table of Contents:
I bet that most SharePoint consultants will enjoy this as much as I do.

The Varsity Community Garden (VCG) is a volunteer-managed community garden that promotes
- sustainable gardening practices,
- innovative garden-based learning, and
- environmental conservation.
All our gardeners and volunteers are registered members of the Varsity Community Garden Club (VCGC). Submit or renew your Membership Application to join this year's VCGC. The Varsity Community Association (VCA), which serves Calgary's northwest neighbourhood of Varsity, supports the Varsity Community Garden Club administrative, educational, and community outreach programs.
Our Garden
Click for bigger picture.
We have 36 plots for individuals to rent, and several group plots, as you can see on the map above. There are common plots such as the herb gardens, the potato and pumpkin patch, and several flowerpots that are tended by volunteers to make them flourish.
Vision for the Garden
The Club's vision is for the Varsity Community Garden to be:
'A welcoming environment where gardeners of all ages, cultural backgrounds, abilities, experience, and knowledge of gardening are welcome to fulfill their desire to grow fresh organic food, and to share their pride in self-sufficiency, and respect and appreciation of Nature's beauty.'
The VCG is a place for interaction, inspiration, and learning, and the centerpiece of Varsity's gardening-based community programs. The VCG hosts a variety of occasional garden-related events, including workshops, open houses, and socials.
What You'll Find in the Varsity Community Garden
- Raised Beds: These 36 plots (two per raised bed) were the first structures built by the founding garden members in 2013. Most of the raised beds are rented out to individuals or families. A few are group plots tended by volunteers and enjoyed by all members. One plot is assigned to children attending the VCA Out-of-School participants.
- In-Ground Beds: The eight in-ground beds were the next to be built by volunteers in 2014. Each plot has the same 4' X 8' (32 sq. ft.) of planting space as the raised beds, only closer to the ground.
- Wicking Bed: One of the 4' x 16' ft. raised beds was designed for mobility-challenged gardeners. It is divided into two 4' x 8' plots that shares a common bottom-up irrigation system.
- Children's Keyhole Garden: The keyhole garden is a circular plot for kids. It was designed with higher planting surface in the middle that slopes down to the perimeter. It also has a compost basket at the centre accessible from the keyhole.
- Compost System: There are four wooden bins arranged in a row. Together they were designed for gardeners of all ages to make compost from organic materials such as garden and kitchen wastes supplied by the gardeners themselves.
- Seating Area: At the centre of the community garden is a seating area under a fabric canopy (called a Coolaroo) that provides shade to gardeners and visitors. Small workshops and meetings can be held in this shady area surrounded by vegetables, herbs, and flowers.
- Potato Patch and Free Garden: One long and narrow in-ground plot is known as the Potato Patch and Free Garden. Surplus seeds and seedlings donated by members have planted and nurtured by volunteers during the planting season.
- Tool and Storage Shed: The Varsity Community Garden Club keeps its shared tools such as hoses, wheelbarrow, hand tools, watering pails, and other gear in this secure 8' x 12' shed.

Disappointment Anniversary Celebration
Sail Date: November 30, 2014
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
I selected this cruise to celebrate our 14 yrs. anniversary only because we have not been to these ports before. The night before the ship is leaving; we got a message that the ship will not stay on the same route because of technical issue. We can't cancel the trip without losing all of our money. We didn't get an offer to cruise on the same ship with a different date. So, we had to take the trip. The ship was 3 ½ hours late so everything is backing up 3 hours. It was not fun waiting in the hot sun. I truly believed that the only reason that we stayed overnight in Nassau, Bahamas so RC can replace the propeller. Why can't we do the repair in Port Canaveral and still keep the same original route? One of the schedule entertainments didn't make it to the ship in Cozumel so it was replaced by another group. We made the best out of it but what else can we do?
