Israel Looks Poised to Demolish Its Bedouin Villages
For many years, 200,000 Arab Bedouins have lived in the Negev desert in southern Israel. Some reside in government-built towns, others in villages unrecognized by the Israeli government, built without water access, electricity or sanitation infrastructure.
But now, the Israeli military is building new bases in the desert, along with 10 new communities. The "unrecognized" villages will also be demolished.
A law, called the "Prawer Plan" plans to move approximately 40,000 Bedouins from unrecognized villages into seven official townships. Expected to be voted on this fall, the Israeli government says developing the region will narrow the gap between the Negev and the remainder of the country. Former minister Benny Begin says in a report that such a move will "make it possible for their [Bedouin] children to leap in time into the midst of the 21st century."
Many Negev Bedouins, descendants of semi-nomadic Arab tribes, live in poverty, and the population struggles disproportionately with unemployment and crime. A spokesman for prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells Reuters that the government has budgeted for affirmative action programs that will connect the Bedouin community to better health care, education, and infrastructure.
But many are not pleased with the government's relocation plan, seeing it as a racist concept with no Arab involvement. Officials failing to consult local representatives of the unrecognized villages during the planning process.
Hundreds of people protested near one of the townships earlier this month, village council member Najib Abu Bneiyeh telling Reuters, "we see that they're forcing us to move without giving us a say in how and where we can live, so the protests are a way of resisting."

text: 8 Health Benefits of Honey for a Happy New YearDuring Rosh Hashanah, or the Jewish New Year, it's traditional to eat honey to toast to 'a sweet New Year,' but honey has hidden health benefits for everyone anytime of year.By Annie HauserEvery September, Jews all over the world celebrate the Jewish New Year with a slew of traditional foods, including apples and honey and honey cake to symbolize a sweet year ahead. This tradition dates back hundreds (if not thousands) of years, but there's more to it than good wishes — honey can also be a used as a natural remedy for a variety of ailments. Ring in the Jewish year 5,772, (and the tail end of National Honey Month!) by taking advantage of the amazing health benefits of honey — and try some great seasonal honey recipes that Jews and non-Jews alike will enjoy this fall. Immune booster: Honey's antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties can help your immune system defend you against illness, including the common cold. Weight loss aid: Honey may help dieters lose weight when used in moderation as a replacement for other sweeteners. Keep in mind that one tablespoon of honey has about 63 calories, so use it in moderation. Digestion Aid: Honey is a popular home remedy (though the science behind this isn't conclusive) for all kinds of digestive problems, including constipation and ulcers. For a homemade digestion aid, try tea with honey and lemon. Cold remedy: Many people swear by honey's cold and throat-soothing properties. Add honey to tea or hot water with lemon for an instant throat soother. Anti-Inflammatory agent: In a 2005 study, topical application of honey was found to reduce mucositis, or inflammation of the digestive tract, in 85 percent of patients studied. A drink made from honey and apple cider vinegar is popularly used as a home remedy for arthritic pain or joint inflammation. Anti-bacterial treatment: Honey has long been used as a topical anti-bacterial treatment for minor cuts, burns, and scrapes. Although the scientific community is still undecided about how effective this treatment is, preliminary data suggests that honey, applied in bulk to a wound, may indeed help prevent infection. Skin soother: Honey is a popular ingredient, along with beeswax, in natural lotions and lip balms. Its antimicrobial properties are thought to make it a good choice as a home acne treatment. Combine honey with warm water and oatmeal for an all-natural skin scrub. Energy booster: Honey, like all sugars, can provide a temporary energy boost and spike in blood glucose, and it's a healthier option than many sugar substitutes. Research shows that diabetics can eat limited amounts of honey, too, provided they're closely monitoring blood sugar levels. Inspired to try honey? Here are a few recipes:Challah (traditional Jewish egg bread) With HoneyGrilled Apples With Cheese and HoneyAlmond and Honey Butter CookiesFlourless Honey Almond CakeFresh Figs With Yogurt and HoneyHoney Lamb Chops Last Updated: 05/04/2012 | Next Article: "Happy Accident" Kale Salad » Leave a comment To leave a comment, please log in below using your preferred network.

Lancashire have strengthened their bowling attack for the 2013 campaign by recruiting Kabir Ali
The right-arm fast-medium bowler arrives at Old Trafford from Hampshire and has signed a two-year deal with the Club.

Cricket Director Mike Watkinson said: "We are pleased to bring in Kabir whose experience and proven track record in all forms of the game will be of great benefit to our bowling unit."
A delighted Ali added: "Lancashire is a fantastic Club with a proud history and great traditions. I am excited at the prospect of working under Peter Moores and his coaching team as well as playing alongside Glen Chapple who is still one of the best in the country.
"Lancashire has an exciting and emerging squad and I am looking forward to playing my part in the challenges ahead."

Hi There
Im a big fan of RTS Games (Real Time Strategy) and Im a coder. So why dont combinate both ;)
So I try to collect as much information as i can atm.
The first big thing is what language i should use. I like stuff where u
dont have to download anything. Like all the Flashgames. But im not good
in flash, so i forget about that. I think about:
Java (With JavaWebStart): Im good in Java and skilled in networkstuff, and with the new JavaFX technology its easy to do some graphical stuff fast. But not everyone have Java, not everyone like Java.
Unity3D: A very nice engine, works direct in browser. Im not very experienced in it, but its not so hard to learn. But the Game dont need real 3D (And get all the 3D Models is harder then just get some isometric 2D graphics)
What do u think, what will be your favorite as user (not as programmer!)?
And the second thing is, what do a RTS need for you to like it and play
it again and again?
Im realy fan of Starcraft. So it will be placed in future, it will have different races, at least 2 ressources, basic units into hightechunits, ground and air units and so on. but it should be something own and not a clone of starcraft. So may u have some early ideas for me what would be very nice?
and the third thing is: How i can make it free but still get some money with it? For Server and stuff (and maybe also some money for myself:)
Ahh and i forget about 4. The publishing. With Flash or Unity i can go to sites like kongregate and post there a singleversion or something. But with Java or JS/HTML5 there is nothing like that. How to make the game famous then? There is nothing badder then a multiplayergame without players..:)
best regards

I write in pencil. I love pencils. I got through about thirty of the things writing my novel, each one disappearing as the novel grew. It was a strange thing to see. What better measure of progress? I can't think of other tool that vanishes as you use it. With a pen, you still have the pen when the ink has run dry. With a pencil, all that remains are the words on the page. There's something unique and wonderful about writing in pencil. You feel a closer connection to the words as you put them down. Your fingers are grubby with lead; it gets in your nostrils; long furls peel from the sharpener, piling up as you write. And I love the resolve that accompanies a freshly sharpened pencil; the added precision of those first hundred or so words. Plus, you can chew them, or pretend to smoke them.

OK that may not have worked as an opening gambit. Cheesy? Yup. Obvious? Check. Likely to pass some people by? Sure. Still, the first thing I learned from SPACE is that you have to dive in headfirst. Your ideas might not work out, but don't play it safe: go for gold. I realised this a few seconds after standing in front of my first class. The group consisted of thirty disinterested young people who hadn't expected to be there at all (their teacher had seized the opportunity to take a period off).
I came into SPACE expecting to regularly be terrified, and in that respect I was disappointed: I skipped past terror straight to fatalism.
My opening of 'hi everyone, today we're going to write poetry' was not hugely successful. Following that up with a willingness to make a fool of myself was, however, much more effective.
In retrospect I recognise that feeling of 'sod it, there's only my self-respect at stake' from some of my own teachers. Since my first day with SPACE I haven't been particularly scared of anything. Except for clowns and the future and all that.

The Norfolk and Norwich Festival is back, and this year it's bigger and better than ever. We've programmed a series of extra special events, including an evening with *Ray Davies of The Kinks,our second Harriet Martineau Lecture, given by celebrated novelist Kate Mosse, and a day long literary festival celebrating great women writers. For the first time, our events have been inspired and dedicated to Norwich, City of Literature, bringing the best local and international writers to our fine city.
With 14 events in the City of Literature line up, I barely know where to begin – but I'll start with Literary Death Match, the first event of the Norfolk & Norwich Festival to take place in the stunning Spiegeltent. AL Kennedy has already been confirmed as one of our judges, and the night promises raucous wordplay and spirited merriment.
I'm eagerly awaiting our event with Diane Setterfield, having adored her novel The Thirteenth Tale (which was recently adapted for BBC). You'll hear all about her new novel Bellman & Black, its writing process, and how her reading affects her writing. Rounding off the day will be local writer Raffaella Barker, whose latest novel From a Distance captures the secret and flaws which shape family life across generations. I'm hoping to discover how Norfolk and her writing family have influenced Raffaella's own craft.
*Suggested musical accompaniment for this blog:

Emma Claire Sweeney, Escalator Winner, writes on literary friendships and her new project Something Rhymed.
By the time I won an Escalator Award back in 2005, I was already firm friends with Emily Midorikawa – the fellow writer with whom I've launched Something Rhymed, a website about famous literary friendships.
I met Emily during a time when we were both living in rural Japan – working as English teachers by day, and scribbling stories in secret by night.
We both have fond memories of the moment we first dared to admit our literary ambitions: we were in a garlic-themed restaurant at the time, chatting over bowls of noodles.
I clearly remember talking with Emily that night about the way novels give us the illusion that we can mind read. Over a decade later, I keep circling back to this notion. But I only recently realised that my preoccupation with this likely stems from my yearning to be a more eloquent interpreter of my autistic sister – something I've blogged about here.

There are dragons hiding in Norwich. And they've been hiding for years.
But from the 10th-23rd February Norwich's dragons are coming out to play and you're invited to join them at the Norwich Dragon Festival. Over the three weeks there'll be exhibitions, displays, performances, talks and quests, all focussed around the scaly fire-breathers themselves.
Whilst we've managed to coax most of the dragons out from their lairs, some are too busy guarding their piles of treasure. Luckily, through our special tour of the city and with some canny wordplay, you'll be able to track down all of the city's dragons, and discover their hidden secret. If you're brave enough to face the dragons' flame, that is.

Robert Mason, an Escalator graduate blogs on exploring new disciplines, the Escalator experience, and publishing Other People's Dogs.
Escalator Literature 2009/10 was crucial for me – it made me decide that this writing malarkey was serious. After thirty years as an illustrator that was a massive realisation and surprise, and, having painted pictures since I was an embryo, I felt some guilt about my new direction. This lasted for about a week; the concomitant poverty has been more tenacious.
Escalator was enjoyable and nerve wracking: I had no prior experience of presenting or formally discussing my writing, though friends from the UEA Creative Writing courses had been incredibly generous and helpful, informally. So, to receive feedback, in a public place, from my mentor Courttia Newland, and to have to read to literary agents, in a public place, was demanding. To do those things without weeping was a triumph.
Perhaps most valuably Escalator opened my eyes to tangible practicalities of literary life: how to write synopses, how to use social media (still not 100% there), how agents operate and – most interestingly – how practising authors actually work. My appreciation of the latter went from indiscriminate absorption of all information imparted to a far more selective mode, as I realised that all writers differ and that it was OK to put together my own working routines. Some pointers, such as write original material at one time of day, and edit at another, were invaluable: thanks to Alex Preston for that. I manage to adhere to it some of the time.
Other People's Dogs is not my Escalator book: The Rec – now re-titled Retribution – is still ongoing and I think it's going well. OPD began life a year or so earlier, as (50,000 words of) light relief between two longer manuscripts. Its genesis was, definitely, as 'dog book', rather than 'memoir': I dislike that m-word. But my dog book differs from most in that, while the majority are concerned with a one-to-one relationship between dog and owner, OPD is written by someone who adores dogs but has never owned one. So a degree of autobiography was inevitable, in describing serial, irresponsible relationships with any number of canines, over many years. And, for me, that aspect of the book has been the most interesting, as it threw up dilemmas revolving around memory, wish fulfilment, truth, fiction, etc. All of which sounds too serious: OPD is predominantly humorous – and that's an h-word I dislike. Oh God, I've written a humorous memoir. Shoot me now.
I've been very lucky in getting Ian Pollock, an old RCA friend, to illustrate the book, and I'm hugely grateful to Barrie Tullett at Caseroom Press for sticking with me while I dithered and edited – two activities that can seem fiendishly similar. My sincere thanks to them, and to Courttia Newland and WCN for the Escalator experience.

Emily Buchanan, project coordinator of the University of East Anglia's University Writers Service (UWS), blogs about the origins, aims and potential of the Service.
With people reading blog posts more than they read traditional media, online content marketing has become a highly valuable industry that's worth in excess of £4bn in the UK alone. This means that writers, particularly those capable of spinning gold out of a sales pitch, are finding an abundance of work online.
Naturally, this has created significant opportunities in the graduate employment market for those with digital skills. And yet, a recent report from Facebook exposed a digital skills gap amongst UK graduates; with many not possessing the necessary experience or training required for a career online. "It's really not easy," said Simon Milner, Head of Policy at Facebook, "We don't tend to find a lot of British young people who are ready to come and work." It's a convoluted dilemma. The jobs exist and the graduates are certainly willing and capable, it's just a case of experience.
When Fountain Partnership, a local internet marketing company, recognised this dilemma, they alerted the University of East Anglia to a commercial opportunity. The company needed to outsource some copywriting and felt compelled to offer the work to students – they just didn't have the means to do so.
Fountain's initial interest represented a wider employability opportunity. If UEA could create a pool of talented student writers and offer their skills to online businesses, they could plug the digital skills gap by giving students professional references, portfolio material and hands-on paid commercial experience.
Based on this understanding, a pilot scheme was quickly created. The University Writers Service, as it became known, was designed to hire 7 students as copywriters for Fountain, who would train and mentor them in the ways of the web. If this was successful, there existed the potential for expansion in the New Year.
In the first week of the new semester, UEA held an introductory workshop to gauge student interest. It was a sell-out, with over 160 students signing up. The initial talk was led by Fountain's co-founder, Marcus Hemsley, and explored the basics of search engine optimisation (SEO) - teaching students how to optimise their online presence and how to develop their writing and research skills for the web.
After the event, students could apply to become writers for the service by submitting a short article on a chosen subject. Almost 50 students applied for the job and seven were chosen to take part in the pilot. Since then, it's been a huge success, with one student writer saying, "I already feel like I've learnt a great deal. Writing concisely and to a specified brief -and especially writing for the web- is completely different to anything I've studied within my degree. It's really nice to see potential uses for my interest in writing in the future."
Looking to the future, the University Writers Service has two long term goals: to provide applied digital skills training to a large number of students and to create a national client portfolio of agencies, publishers and businesses that want copywriting services from an employability scheme. The service hopes to double its database of writers by the New Year and to offer its services to a host of new clients. Should this be successful, it will become the country's first self-sufficient, university-based writers' service that not only produces great content for the web, but significantly improves graduate job applications.

Emily Buchanan is a writer, a UEA English Literature alumni and the project coordinator of the University Writers Service. She's also a digital editor for Further, a multi-award winning marketing agency based in Norwich and on occasion, she'll speak at employability events and seminars - offering guidance to undergraduates interested in writing for the web. Although fiction writing is her ultimate goal, Emily is an example of the employment power of the internet – without which she wouldn't be where she is today.

The U.S. Census Bureau released today the new Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2009. First published in 1878, "Uncle Sam's Almanac" is a summary of statistics on a wide range of important topics, from A (aquaculture) to Z (zinc production). Whether one seeks numbers on biofuel or banking, foreign trade or foreign aid, cars or bars, there is no better one-stop shop for statistics.
For example, the average length of stay for patients at community hospitals declined from 7.2 days in 1990 to 5.5 days in 2006. Yet over the same period, the average cost per patient stay climbed 81 percent, from $4,947 to $8,970.
Also, Americans are spending more on retail prescription drugs. Drug sales climbed from $72.2 billion in 1995 to $259.4 billion in 2007, with the majority of spending shifting from brand name to generic (60 percent brand name in 1995, less than 42 percent in 2007).
The 128th edition contains more than 1,400 tables of social, political and economic facts about our nation and the world. Among topics covered in the 49 new tables in this edition are the religious composition of our nation's population, osteopathic physicians, online news consumption, expenditures for wildlife-related recreation and women in parliaments around the globe. Although the emphasis is on national-level statistics, some tables present state- and even city- and metropolitan-level data as well.
The source of the data is not limited to the Census Bureau -- statistics are also derived from other social, political and economic organizations in the United States. Data in this edition are generally for the most recent year or period available by the summer of 2008.
Other highlights include:
The 2009 Statistical Abstract may be obtained by calling the U.S. Government Printing Office at 202-512-1800 (ISBN No. 003-024-09075-9, $37 for the soft cover edition; and No. 003-024-09074-1, $41 for the hard cover edition <http://bookstore.gpo.gov/>).
Copies are also available by calling the National Technical Information Service at 800-363-2068 or 703-605-6060 (PB2009-965301, $39 for the hard cover edition <http://www.ntis.gov/products/statabs.aspx>).
A CD-ROM version of the book will be available later.
Every edition of the Statistical Abstract, dating from 1878, is available in PDF or zip files on the Census Bureau's Web site at <http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/>.

What is the difference between Sunni and Shia?
asked Jun 22 '12 at 04:14 AhmedAmr 1●1●3
reverted Jul 07 '12 at 15:02 Al Ummat ♦ 3●1●8●77
Salam, Sunni and shia are islamic sects that in puplic these two sects believe in the five pillars of Islam and basic beliefs but they have different opinions in many points. The prophet (pbuh) said that there would be 72 or 73 sect and one sect would be the right one and the people who follow this sect would go to heaven. May Allah make us from the right sect.
The most important aspect of shia - sunni differences are based on the Rasool e Islam parting instructions '' Inni tarekum fi saqlain , kitab Allah wa itrati wa Ahlebayti '' I am leaving behind two very important thing the book of Allah meaning Qora'an and my Itrat / Ahlebayt/progeny . Those who will keep tamassuk with them will not go astray and shall meet me at the Kauser pond on the day of Judgement .This is an authentic and universally accepted hadees and can be found in the older original
books of both sects .Khulafa e Salasa had another scheme . On the demise of the Rasool e Akram (saaws)they left him unburied , went to a place called Saqifa in which only a very few people participated and selected Abu Bakr as calif although only a little while back Rasool e Akram (s) had while coming from the Hajj. In , in the presence of over one Lakh people had declared His Cousin and Son in Law H. Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a)as his Successor while Abu Bakr, Umar Usman all were there and on the instructions of Nabi e Akram (s) had along with others (around 70)paid allegiance to Ali (a) In fact the 2nd Calif Umar was the 1st to come and congritulate him but turned over his allegiance to his senior Abu Bakr . Thus after a series of three such Khilafat the mantle came to the rightfull successor of the Rasool . During the rule of the three calif a lot of innovations were introduced in the deen though the deen was declared complete on the day of Ghadeer . As such two shoots of Islam came into prominence , One who follolwed Ali Ibne Abi Talib and his prgeny and the second who followed Abu Bakr,Umar and Usman as the rightful calif after which Moaviah took over and made his son from calif to king and the great tragedy of Karbala happened which killed most of the kins of Mohammad (s) save his great grand son Imam Zainul Aabedin (a). Shias believe another eight
successors followed , the last ,the 12th Imam was then taken into occultation after successive martyrdoms of each one and shall reappear anytime and fill this world with total peace & tranquility

Another vote for 64 bit support. Reason is simple - frequent out-of-memory errors running Helios with both FlashBuilder and server-side related plugins (JEE, STS, etc). The exact errors depend on eclipse.ini setup, from out of permgen, to cannot create another thread, to just fail to compile Flex project with "Unknown Error", each time requiring an Eclipse restart. Adobe puts a lot of marketing emphasis on "user experience", and in general the FlashBuilder UX gets better with each version (at least if we ignore the context sensitive help, which was MUCH better in FlexBuilder). But this frequent out-of-memory situation is an annoyance, not to mention an embarrassment when showing my HTML / JS dev colleagues how we work.
Keep up the good work. Oh, and give us back Eclipse-based help!
+1 for 64bit .. It's real pain to do any enterprise sized project - you'r loosing to other IDE's here ... no way anyone can justify all time crashes, deployment problems (which rather goes to WTP) and ultimatelly .. very poor maven support - where I don't really see another way of development then with continuous build based on maven
Our project is some 80 flex and 150+ java/groovy projects. The problem is, that what is being recognized as one of the most important features, is the possibility of continuous development/debugging process for UI to Backend code, within single IDE. That contributes quite a lot to the overall flow of developer's daily tasks. AS3/Flex is great stack for UI building, unfortunatelly, it is really difficult to make a case here if you are unable to integrate it into the factory of sw development. 64bit IDE + compiler would be great step ahead in this competition (but only leveling with the others atm).
Good luck
This request has been out for a while - when is Adobe planning on having 64 bit supported?
Very few developer machines still have less than 4GB Ram and the lack of support from Adobe shows a disinterest in Flex usage in a professional context. Together with the deprecation of Google's map API for flash and other major actors that will follow, I think the safest route is to abandon Flex development all together.
Hi Andrew,
I hope you realize that you are facing a VERY frustrated community here.
We NEED a 64 bit version. It's been 4 months since your promise to "provide more details in due course." I think the course is due.
Now with the release of Eclipse Indigo, Flash Builder is again lagging behind a version plus being restricted to a legacy operating mode.
HTML 5 is not a threat in my mind since flex has critical advantages... but in terms of product support... Major industry level FAIL!!!
Developers are begging you guys for this, we are the reason for your success, please respond to us!
David K. Coleman
It looks like this has been going on for at least a year, now. You really do need to provide 64-bit support.
Can you at least release a 64-bit plugin, ASAP?
Have a great week.
Take care,
+1 vote for the Eclipse 3.7 version with 64-bit support
+1 vote for Eclipse 3.7 64bit support (wow... that's one popular demand and it has been here for 17 months...)
I'm truely beginning to doubt Adobe's commitment to the community. This is a travesty!
At this point with HTML 5 and Adobe pretty much dropping Flash on mobile devices I personally no longer care whether there is a 64 bit version of the IDE as I will no longer be doing any Flash/Flex development. I'm sure it's still important to the rest of the community and I don't want to downplay that but for me it's an issue of too little too late. I'm sure I'm not alone
Flash on mobile devices is one thing, enterprise development is another. Flex has a long future in enterprise development. Big corporations don't want angry birds or gee-wiz animations. They want applications that look the same everywhere. A flex app can be cross compiled to air and run on pads, mobile etc (with some minor tweaks of course). I'm not sure what the gaming future of flash/actionscript is, but i personally don't care. Most flex engineers are RIA/enterprise developers. We have absolutely no use for html other than using it to host a container div for our app. I intend to learn HTML 5 so I don't deprecate myself, but I think your view is seriously limited if you think that HTML5 is the second comming of the programming mesiah. HTML 5 has some very focused usefulness but it is not the end-all-beat-all to flex and never will be.
Without wanting to be pessimistic or finger pointing I have to disagree on the "flex for ever" view. If you ask me the arrival of HTML5 put flex in a EOL state. The absent response by adobe to this thread, Adobe Muse and the arrival of simple tools provided by for example google to transcode flv to html5 says enough.
Not that I think HTML5 is THE future product to focus on. I' m more a believer of a "applications" web but I fear flex is a lost case by then. Sure maintenance will remain for those enterprise applications, but that is it.
I honistly think nobody needs to vote anymore. 64bit FB will not come at all.
I think this is true because of al the problems i have with flash builder. Flashbuilder imho is unstable.
The hole reason I need 64bit, is so i can allocate more memory (fb keeps crashing with an OutOfMemoryException, this happent in fb3 and is still happening in fb4.6).
I think they have loads of trouble with building flashbuilder as a stable ide anyway, and they focus on that iso 64bit.
My project will move to html5 as soon as the backlog allows it.
@Majathi, that may be true to some extent as far as flex is concerned, BUT I don't think HTML5 is the technology to replace flex. HTML5 from flex is a step backwards from a mature (albeit buggy) API to a very new and unproven one. I also don't see whole enterprise applications being built in HTML5 any time soon. like I said it's great for angry birds and bouncy balls... but I'm not sure it is a VIABLE replacement for the FEATURES of flex. I'm not debating that flex is facing EOL, but it's very far off. FLASH on the otherhand is AT EOL. I think that HTML5 will kill flash, but flex does not really have a viable replacement yet.
I vote for a 64 bit flashbuilder!!
All my colleagues and I work with 64bit OS and we experienced performance and stability issues... I vote for 64bit Support!!
Same here. And the problem is Flash Builder crash all the time on Win7 64 bit
+1 for 64-bit FB4
We've hit the memory wall and this is becoming a serious issue.
Hello, everyone!
I created a feature ehancement at Flex JIRA of Adobe.
Now, you can vote officially from the following URL.
Shigeru Nakagaki
+1 for 64bit support.
+1 for 64bit FB4
The new Flash Builder 4.7 Beta is 64bit, so go for it
+ 1 for FB 64 bit

- Huacas de Sol y de la Luna are the entryways par excellence to the Moche Route, supported by Backus since 1999.
- The investment of the WMF to the Huaca de la Luna project has reached US $ 1,700,000 in 10 years.
- This project represents a successful management model based in public and private alliances.
Trujillo, October 27th, 2012 - Bonnie Burnham and Marcela Pérez de Cuéllar, CEOs of World Monuments Fund (WMF) and WMF Perú respectively, as well as a group of WMF's benefactors worldwide, have visited the Huacas del Sol y de la Luna project to show the successful work they have carried out. They were accompanied by members of the Board of Trustees of Huacas del Valle de Moche, the authorities of the National University of Trujillo and Backus' employees.
Huacas del Sol y de la Luna, the sacred city of the Moche society, is one of the most emblematic monuments on the northern coast of Peru. Thanks to the work that has been carried out since May 1991 by the Faculty of Social Sciences of the National University of Trujillo, Huaca de la Luna has grown from a shapeless, senseless sand mound to a magnificent polychrome monument that has become one of the most important tourist destinations in the country, attracting 120,000 tourists a year, including both foreigners and nationals.
The archaeological works of the northern coast of Peru have shown their importance during the last two decades as well, as we add to the study and conservation of this cultural heritage, as well as to the recognition of our monuments for tourism, thus warranting the preservation of these icons.
"The remarkable thing about this experience is the management model we've applied, based on four pillars: Research, Conservation, Public Use and Local Development. The leadership shown by the executors of the project as well as the strategic alliances, the leverage of funds and the involvement of the local population, have allowed this project to become an engine for the economic development of the population of the Moche countryside and its surroundings," states Malena Morales Valentín, Executive Director of Backus Fundation.
With the support given by Backus to this project since 2002, the WMF has become a main partner under the system of counterpart funds, having contributed US $1,700,000 over 10 years, representing the lengthiest and most important investment the WMF has ever granted to a project in Latin America.
"Huaca de la Luna is a model that shows how the disciplines of archaeology, conservation and tourism can be integrated in a sustainable way. It is an honour to see how it has re-emerged, becoming again the core of development for the people of the Moche Valley, as an example for tourism at a regional, national and international level," said Marcela Pérez de Cuéllar, CEO of the World Monuments Fund in Peru.
This project of the National University of Trujillo, with the support of strategic public and private alliances, has obtained several national and international awards, such as the
Best Practises of Cultural Tourism Management award, awarded by the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce of Spain (2004), the IV International Award of Conservation of Cultural Heritage Reina Sofía, awarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Spain (2005) and the National Award of Good Practises in Government, awarded by the private organisation Ciudadanos al Día (2007), among others.

Heidi A. Tissenbaum, PhD
Recent news about telomere biology and the impact of low-calorie diets on longevity has generated interest in the work of Heidi A. Tissenbaum, PhD, associate professor of molecular medicine. An expert in the genetic mechanisms involved in aging and the signaling pathways that modulate lifespan, Dr. Tissenbaum provided insight on a recent study linking low-calorie diets with longevity and a new test being sold on the United Kingdom that measures a person's telomere length, a purported indicator of life-span.
Results of Dr. Tissenbaum's most recently study were published last year inNature.

This and That
I live in Greenfield with my husband and cat. I work full time. Frugality and simplicity have been a part of my life long before they became popular and it has made life a lot less stressful. I love volunteering, home improvement/decorating, crafting and gardening.
Seatbelts and Helmets
Before anyone gets smart about "their personal rights and lifestyle" regarding the use of seatbelts and helmets, this blog is FACT driven and MY OPINION. You, as an individual, can choose to use seatbelts and/or helmets as you wish. And, yes, I realize the use of seatbelts is a law. I use mine all the time.
I work as a Claims Representative and process death claims and disability claims each and every day. I read autopsies and police reports. I have read about single vehicle wrecks that involve people who did not wear their seatbelts who were tossed out of the car they were in, thrown into another lane of traffic and hit by oncoming vehicles. Not much left. The same goes for individuals who did not wear helmets while riding motorcycles or bicycles....brain damage resulting in a lifetime disability and/or death.
Lennon & McCartney
There have been (what I consider to be) many, many great songwriters throughout the years. Two of the best from my generation (and forward) have been John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Not all of their songs were worthy of mentioning but I am sure that if you read the words to their songs, one or more will remind you of something or someone in your life that makes the words POP for you..a special meaning, thought, or period of your life makes a song or songs "special" in some way. How about checking out the words on the internet to some of these songs: Let It Be; The Long and Winding Road; Lady Madonna; Yesterday; and so forth.
"What is to become of our future generation when they listen to these songs written by these long haired youngsters from Liverpool?" A lot of our parents said that.

Eric Prokopi, a rare fossils dealer from Florida, is throwing a tantrum because the U.S. government took away his dinosaur skeleton. The skeleton - a Tyrannosaurus bataar that's nicknamed Ty - technically belongs to Mongolia, where the bones were found, or so says Fast and Furious 2 co-star Eric Holder's henchmen, and Mongolians. Naturally, Prokopi is whining about all this.
Prokopi has said in a statement that he brought the bones into the country in March 2010 when they were just chunks of rocks and broken bones. He said he turned them into "an impressive skeleton."
That may be true, but the U.S. government thinks Prokopi smuggled the bones into the country using forged papers.
The U.S. said the documents disguised the dinosaur skeleton, which originated in Mongolia, as reptile bones from Great Britain.
I didn't know they even had reptiles in Great Britain, but anyway: an auction house, Heritage Auctions, is also taking part in the lawsuit, probably because the 70 million year-old dinosaur rich person toy is valued at $1.05 million.
The seizure is unprecedented, according to the lawsuit at least, since dinosaur skeletons from "China, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Russia have been openly sold on the international market and collected in the United States by people and museums for generations."
Then again, that's totally something a screaming toddler would shout if you took away his legos, even if most of them belonged to a neighbor down the street.

Stain Removal Mustard
[mage lang="en|fr|en" source="flickr"]Stain Removal Mustard[/mage]
How can you get a really disgusting image out of your head?
I was wondering how to remove mustard stains on the carpet and I clicked on this site and this disgusting ad pop-up has been raised. He was of penis enlargements and photo was so serious. It showed a naked guy with a small penis erection while watching a naked girl masturbating with a dildo massive. I'm traumatized! It was right there on my face! The caption said something like "Do not spend more time looking at her own pleasure – you can do it!" How stupid is that? " But this is not really what he says. I can not image my head. I am a girl. And do not say: "But it's a girl too" because it was disgusting. I feel so sick. Why is everyone Put this pop-up on a site spotting on the web?!?
You probably have some kind of computer virus that has made this pop up (I doubt that this has nothing to do with the site visited) – Make a complete analysis of your system, and check your firewall settings – and use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer and configure to block all pop ups. I have not seen a pop up over the years.

Scientists in California and across the U.S. warn that global warming will bring extreme weather, more dangerous smog pollution and even the extinction of some plants and animals. The good news is that we know how to cut the carbon pollution fueling the problem—and California is already headed in the right direction. But there is still more to be done.

The biggest attraction on Maui is below the ocean, and the Atlantis Submarine Maui Adventure is your ticket to see it! Your once-in-a-lifetime Maui submarine tour takes you into a spectacular blue world in spacious air-conditioned comfort.
After a 15-minute trip to the dive site, you will board an Atlantis Submarine, the world's first and most technologically advanced passenger submarine. On your 45-minute underwater Maui submarine ride you'll see coral reefs and marine creatures.
To enhance your submarine experience, and help improve the marine environment, an artificial reef was created in December 2005. An aged replica of a 19th-century supply vessel was anchored to the sandy sea floor in an area that was devoid of coral reef. The resulting artificial reef is developing into a self-sustaining habitat for indigenous fish, coral and other marine life.
From December through May, you may enjoy whale watching during the ship-to-shore journey to your Maui submarine as humpback whales make their annual migration through the warm Pacific waters.

Kim Kardashian Threatens Instagram: Change Policy or Else!by Hilton Hater at .
Kim Kardashian is taking a stand, people! She's fighting back against the injustice that affects her most:
Instagram's new Terms of Service agreement.
The company is under fire these days for language that implies it could sell its users' photos without compensation - and despite the Instagram co-founder issuing a statement to clarify this misconception, sources tell TMZ that Kardashian isn't buying it.
Easily the most popular person on that service with 5,726,343 followers (Justin Bieber is second at 4,366,729; President Obama third at 1,834,079), Kim is reportedly telling friends that she may leave if the policy isn't altered.
And she'll take her nearly six million fans to another photo-sharing agency.
It stands to reason that family members Khloe, Kylie, Kendall and Rob would follow Kim elsewhere, with each of these reality stars also ranking in the Instagram Top 10.
The moves actually would be a severe blow to the company, which raises the question:
If you run an organization that mostly services Kim Kardashian and her siblings, should you re-evaluate your life choices?

Kim Kardashian Threatens Instagram: Change Policy or Else!
Ain't it the hottest thing?
They'd be smart to listen. If the Kardashians have as much influence with instagram as they say, that would be a wise move. Kim is simply speaking out against an injustice. When other celebrities do it, no one cares, but when Kim does it, people moan. That is priceless. Hopefully the people will listen and make the right move.
Her fans don't have a life? Are you kidding me? It's the haters who you can say that for. There's plenty of celebrities I can't stomach, I'd never waste even a second looking them up online. The fact that they start whining after that makes me laugh. If you don't like Kim, go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's really as simple as that.
As far as sharing pics, there's plenty of celebs who do that, the Kim haters are the ones who make a big deal about it. Flaunt away, Kim, be proud of what you look like, don't care what the prudes have to say.
Kim is absolutely right to stand up for her rights - the new terms and agreement should be revised in her case. But I would also ask her to go even further in her fight for rights, the child actors in Hollywood - the unsung heroes !
I would urge her to research the amazing advances being made in the Yukon Film Industry online. There the parents do not get full control of the monies, they get 25% up to $2000.00 and more on larger amounts for expenses and services rendered to the child actor, for it is afterall a business. I would ask the Actors Guild to also research this online and to consider the child actors in Hollywood, a world leader in suh things as the advancement of child rights in the International Film Industries of our world.
thank u
The new terns and agreement should be revised, she is right on this to stand up and fight for her rights. But she might consider going even further,- child rights in Hollywood are not up to world standards. Just look into the standards children enjoy and their parents in the Yukon Film Industry. Parents do not get full control of the money earned by their children, they get 25% up to $2000.00. for expenses and services rendered. Child rights are important in the International Film Industries and Hollywood is a world leader in this Industry. I would only ask that the Actors Guild research the amazing reforms to child rights in the Yukon Film Industry online and consider the child actors in Hollywood who are also your collegues in the pronotion of the Film Industry through Hollywood.
Thank u
Kevin Graham

Q: How do I request a meeting with Mayor?
A: Please call the Executive Asst. to Mayor and Council at (408) 730-7473, or request an appointment by e-mail.
Q: How do I request a meeting with Council?
A: Requests to meet with Councilmembers are forwarded to Council, and the requestor is notified as soon as possible whether their proposed meeting has been accepted or declined.
Requestors should be advised, in advance, that it is not uncommon for meetings to be denied for reasons beyond the basic difficulties inherent in scheduling Councilmembers' busy calendars. First, meetings with less than the full Council can work against the City's attempt to ensure that all Councilmembers have the same information and background with which to consider policy issues (and the law precludes all Councilmembers from meeting together with you outside of a regularly scheduled Council meeting). Second, those requesting meetings often expect that Councilmembers will express their thoughts and/or opinions at the meeting. Please understand that if a meeting request is accepted, Councilmembers will listen to the presentation and may ask questions, but are unlikely to express opinions or support, particularly if the topic is regarding an issue likely to be considered by the full Council at a future public hearing. This is because Councilmembers will generally want to hear all sides of an issue in an open public hearing before committing to any particular position themselves.
Whether or not the meeting request is accepted, requestors are encouraged to present their issues to the full Council by e-mail or by writing a letter to City Council, P.O. Box 3707, Sunnyvale, CA 94088-3707, and/or appear before the full Council at a regularly scheduled public meeting. This will ensure that all Councilmembers receive the same information at the same time, and that, if Council has questions, all Councilmembers hear the same answers. Opportunities for public comment are provided at every public hearing conducted by City Council, with speakers limited to 3 minutes each.
Questions regarding scheduling meetings with Council should be directed to Heidi Kirk, Executive Assistant to City Council, at (408) 730-7473.
Q: When is the next Council Meeting?
A: The Council Agenda Calendar can be found on the City's Web site.
Q: How do I make a presentation to Council at a Council Meeting?
This helpful guide will help you make your council chambers presentation more effective.
