One of the Songea residents, who seemed tired of mysterious killings perpetuated by superstitious beliefs gasped: "I am stunned whenever I see, hear or come across civilians, who have been beaten up to death the way wildebeests are preyed on by carnivores during the dry season."
It is now common that some civilians are mysteriously killed and have their private parts removed. It is alleged that, the mysterious killings started towards the end of last year and to date about nine people have been killed in Songea, Ruvuma Region, leaving their families in the shock of bereavement.
That is why on February 22, this year, villagers, who found the body of a person believed to have been killed mysteriously, said "it is enough" and decided to march to the Ruvuma Regional Commission's Office to express their grievances. Demonstrators had no leader and the police were not informed.
While marching and chanting they claimed they should be listened to. In such a circumstance, what would be the outcome?
Although I commend them for exercising their right to freedom of opinion and expressing their grievances to the responsible authorities, it is clear that they are ignorant of legal procedures concerning "a freedom to freely and peaceably assemble, associate and cooperate with other persons and for that purpose express views publicly…" as provided for in Article 20(1) of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania, 1977 (as amended from time to time).
I have said this because from what I have gathered on this issue, the demonstrators did not notify the police and were not allowed to stage any demonstration leave alone to have security provided for them. It is not right to demonstrate in such a circumstance because there are always people with hidden motives in a crowd.
I am not talking about the police denying people the freedom to assemble, which is their constitutional right but rather the police should be notified in good time so that they provide security to civilians and their property during the demonstration.
This is because wherever many people are gathered anything could happen. At this point in time, looking at the Songea demonstration issue, I believe civilians need security because in circumstances of superstitious beliefs, people could start accusing one another and disrupting peace and causing unexpected bloodshed. That is why we should avoid taking sides but look at the Songea issue objectively.
We have to bear in mind that laws are meant to protect every person to realise their rights and corresponding duties.
In this regard, the demonstrators in Songea did not fulfil their duty of giving a notice to the police so that they provide security for them during the demonstration because anything could have happened to demonstrators and non-demonstrators alike.
If anything bad had happened because there was no security, I am sure everybody would have blamed the police for negligence and it would have been difficult for them to provide a plausible explanation. Who knows what could have happened?
I am sure, if they were left to continue something worse could have happened than those killed in the demonstration and 41 others injured, while about 50 of the demonstrators arrested.
If this is the case, why the police should not intervene and disperse the demonstrators? Why are the police blamed for fulfilling their duty? Is there any hidden agenda in doing this? Why do we tend to demoralise the police instead of giving them moral support? Why are Tanzanians becoming anti-police?
The laws and regulations guiding police duties allow them to use firearms in certain circumstances for self-defence and for protecting other people and their property. That is why I prefer directing our energy towards educating members of the public so that everyone knows their rights and duties to prevent excessive force used against them by respecting applicable laws.
If we want our country to continue being the haven of peace and security, we have to be in the frontline to help one another to express our grievances through right channels that do not cause us violate the law and disrupt peace and security in society. For me, to continue blaming the police who fulfilled their duty instead of the people so that no excessive force is used is wastage of time.
Sometimes the police are blamed for nothing. It is like some passengers, who tend to blame a commuter bus conductor even if they are wrong, themselves. Thus, we must respect our security forces and not interfere in their profession and duties.
In my opinion, the police do not start beating people, they first give warnings several times. Civilians should recognise the importance of creating a friendly relationship with our security forces - that is, the civilians and the police, for instance, should not see each other as enemies but stakeholders of our peace and security.
Let us recognise that Tanzania is our country and so we must cooperate to build it in terms of peace, security and development.
There is an inextricable relationship between the police and civilians like that of a chicken and an egg for without a chicken there is no egg and without an egg there is no chicken.
So, without the right information from civilians, the police cannot do their work properly. First, it is because the police are very few and, second, they are not angels to know everything and every person, who is good or bad. On the other hand, without the police doing their job properly, civilians will not be able to report to the police criminal incidents and arrest suspected criminals.
For a country like Tanzania, every citizen has the duty to protect national security. This duty must start with a person himself from where they live to detect and identify the causes of crime and criminal suspects and report them to the police for legal action.
This is the responsibility of every person. So, let us develop a culture for every citizen to look for the right information on crime including the killings of civilians in Songea before instead of waiting for commission of crime.
Leaders, politicians and activists must avoid using criminal incidents and killings to gain popularity. Let professional things be left to professionals and their executives so that they put in place workable policies.
It is a matter of arrogance to give simple answers to complex issues. To say what one doesn't know is doing injustice not only to one but also to all people, who will be misinformed. This is a culture of "one man show" style.
That is why I am saying if we blame the police we must also ask ourselves if we have done our duty!

It doesn't matter how many times you go to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website or talk to people about what you should be doing. Without the ability to follow a step by step process and get RESULTS all the talk in the world won't help.
Many times the problem isn't a lack of desire to become a United States Citizen, it's the fear of doing something wrong on your paper work and getting it rejected or worse. You need support and guidance to complete the application N-400.
Making your life better or protecting your family or even achieving the "American dream" is much more about following a procedure than just desiring to be a United States Citizen.
You can buy books and talk to friends all day long, but without guidance to complete the N-400, what good does it do you?
Get the information, help and support you need to make sure you have an easy and pain free experience in applying for naturalization.
Dear Soon-To-Be United States Citizen,
There are currently millions of people in the United States who are trying to become US Citizens. But what makes this process difficult is the many questions and doubts YOU ask yourself. "Is my English good enough?" "Have I been in the US for the time required?" "Does anybody care about my urgency in getting the application processed?" "Why is it so difficult?" "They make it difficult." "Why is it so hard?" And yes, you are required to do ALL THE WORK!
On average, it takes THREE to FIVE YEARS TO BECOME A US CITIZEN! But the REALITY is people wait 15, 20, even 30 years? Why? Because people simply do not have the information they need to make the process simple and painless.
Now consider for a moment what is the United States greatest concern, National Security. After 9/11, the naturalization process has become more complex than it's ever been! Entire presidential debates have been dedicated to National Security and Threats against the United States. Gone are the days of "The United States Accepts All People From All Nations."
The truth is the United States is watching for threats and they are looking at every application through a magnifying glass for problems!
The current laws can change at any moment and you have to be prepared. With politicians changing every year, it is impossible to predict what will happen with immigration. This could potentially make the process longer and more difficult. You MUST have the proper information. We understand, and that's why we are giving you EVERYTHING you need to be ready for any changes in the process!
You know you are supposed to apply for US Citizenship after you receive your "green card," but HOW? And WHAT are the requirements anyway? Do you qualify? You know that you're going to change your status, but WHERE?
Do you feel confused? Do you feel so lost and don't know what to do? You may not have any idea where to begin, but you are NOT about to pay thousands for someone else to do it.
ATTENTION: This is the beginning of your journey to "Do-it-yourself".
You can "Do-it-yourself" because there are thousands of dollars to be saved if you know what you are doing.
NOW INCLUDED!!! Free updates for life: Simple Citizenship membership card is included in this package and may be one of the most important memberships you ever buy. This membership is not a monthly fee membership as you've seen from various membership programs. Once you have it, you have free updates to the naturalization process for life! This is great when you "Do-it-yourself".
There are plenty of products out there that simply want to take your money. You send them payment, they send you information and you never hear from them again. It's a scam looking to prey on your anger and frustration. We are different. We will stay with you, step by step, and get you to your dream of becoming a US Citizen regardless of what changes occur in the future!
Immigrants spend around 1000 hours or more performing research, completing applications and trying to understand a complicated process that is vital to their quality of life. But help is here. We've done all the work, we've put in all the hours, and you just have to gain IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO IT TODAY!
This is by far the best package to help guide you through the process of becoming a citizen of the United States. We will walk you through the process, step by step, eliminating the time consuming research and confusing paperwork the United States requires.
We are going to provide you with ALL the documentation you need and walk you through how to properly complete ALL of it. Consider this, if you make a mistake in completing your application, you fall back to the end of the line! Don't get placed back at the end of a line of millions! You may also be red flagged due to suspicious activity on your application. At a time like this, a mistake can cost you dearly.
Imagine this...You spend hours of time researching how to become a US citizen. You find all the required paperwork. You painstakingly complete the naturalization application, check and recheck your work. But you are human, and do not include information or simply have an oversight in your application. The government official finds the mistake (they are experts!) and all of your time, research seems wasted. You start a back and forth correspondence with the USCIS that most likely will delay your application for months!
Simple Citizenship is designed to make sure this does not happen to you. We've already done the work. We unveil what to look for and what to make sure you've completed properly. We give you a step by step guide so you do not have to worry about what is happening with your application. Once you have this product, you will not have to worry as much about your application. But that's not it...
We already told you, but it's important so we will tell you again: We Are With You Every Step Of The Way! We Will Teach You Everything You Need To Know To ACE YOUR NATUALIZATION TEST!!!
Included in our complete package are:

Sharing layouts across views or extensions with JLayout
From Joomla! Documentation
It is common that parts of pages are replicated across several views inside an extension, or even across several extensions. Examples might be:
- an extension sharing some display layouts between front-end and backend views, or with one or more modules
- backend extensions that have some common settings, and thus have to replicate common display layouts to allow users to change them
Up until Joomla! 3.0, the loading (and template overriding) of layout files was restricted to a given view. The JLayout interface and set of classes was added to Joomla! 3.0 to help solve this very problem. It encapsulates a layout and the data required to display it so that they can be reused across views and extensions. At the time of writing, JLayout is used by the JHtmlSidebar class to display the submenu and filters found in most backend extensions pages.
JLayout consists in an interface and 2 classes:
- JLayout interface defines escape and render methods, much like the JView class of Joomla! platform
- JLayoutBase implements a basic layout class, where layout may be hardcoded in the class itself for instance
- JLayoutFile, the most commonly used class, wraps and render a layout stored in a file, checking for overrides in template before doing so.
Here is a basic usage example of JLayoutFile:
// Create a layout object and ask it to render the sidebar $layout = new JLayoutFile('joomla.sidebars.submenu', $basePath = null); $sidebarHtml = $layout->render($data);
Executing this code creates a JLayoutFile object, wrapping a layout file, and passing in a $data structure that may be required for the display itself.
The first parameter, 'joomla.sidebars.submenu' is the file identifier. The last part ('submenu')is the file name, everything before ('joomla.sidebars') is the relative path. An optional $basePath parameter can be prepended to the relative path. If $basePath is missing, layout files will be searched inside the /layouts directory.
Our example:
new JLayoutFile('joomla.sidebars.submenu', $basePath = null)
will result in the 'submenu.php' layout file being loaded from the '/layouts/joomla/sidebars' directory.
Passing in a non-empty base path allows accessing and storing layout files anywhere on the site directory structure, for instance:
$layout = new JLayoutFile('my_layout', $basePath = JPATH_ROOT .'/components/com_something/layouts'); $html = $layout->render($data);
will load and render the 'my_layout.php' layout file found in JPATH_ROOT .'/components/com_something/layouts' directory.
Template overrides: When executing the render() method, that is actually loading the layout file, JLayoutFile will check for the existence of an override in the currently selected template, inside a 'layouts' directory. Looking back at our initial example, should you want to override the sidebar layout of all backend Joomla! extensions, you should place a 'submenu.php' file under: /administrator/templates/{currently_selected_template}/layouts/joomla/sidebars/
Note: JLayoutFile will check the currently selected template for overrides. As layouts can be shared across both front end and backend side, if you need to override a layout file in both cases, you'll have to put an override file in both backend and front end template.

The sniper rifle' is a weapon that has been featured in every Grand Theft Auto game since Grand Theft Auto III with the exception of Grand Theft Auto Advance and Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars . It is often required in missions to shoot enemy gang members at a distance, especially when the goal is to protect an ally from far away. At long range, the sniper rifle usually provides a stealth kill, however it is not silenced, and should be fired far away from pedestrians and police. The rifle's magnifying scope is a valuable reconnaissance tool, and is also useful for viewing small game details like magazine covers and in-car objects.
Like in many computer games, the rifle's bullets fly straight to the targeted point (it is a 'hitscan' weapon) - real life variables like distance, wind, or target movement don't affect the bullet, but it is still unknown yet if this applies to GTA V as we did witness a wind speed indicator during the official gameplay video which is probably not there just for aesthetics.
The GTA IV Sniper Rifle is said to be twice as powerful as the Combat Sniper rifle; it is, however, a bolt action rifle, and thus can't fire nearly as fast. It provides a one-headshot kill in single player and multiplayer, unless the target is heavily armored.
The sniper rifle only appears in certain missions of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, where the player has to assemble the rifle using the touch screen. In the DS version, the whole top screen is then used to display the scoped view. In the iOS version, the top screen display moves into the single screen by showing up beside the rifle assembly. This also applies to the PSP version, although there is no touch screen functionality.
In Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned and Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony, the sniper rifle is based on the Remington 700, although in San Andreas, the gun's HUD icon appears to resemble a PSG-1. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is the lone exception; its sniper rifle is based on a M21, reflecting the game's setting of 1984, but it functions incorrectly as a bolt-action rifle, the real M21 being semi-automatic.
- Belleville Park, Staunton Island - On top of the building south of the Belleville Park Fire Station behind the MSX FM sign (and next to the body armor icon) (use the angled edge of the Shoreside Lift Bridge Loop to jump to it).
- Newport, Staunton Island - Available to buy from Ammu-Nation after completion of Last Requests ($10,000).
- Cochrane Dam, Shoreside Vale - In the trees along the path to the base of the Cochrane Dam from the main entrance (near Cedar Grove).
- Spawns at every safehouse once the player collects 80 Hidden Packages.
GTA Vice City
- North Point Mall - Available to buy from Ammu-Nation after completion of Phnom Penh '86 ($1,500).
- Starfish Island - In the hedge maze at the west part of the Mansion.
- Viceport - On the ledge on the south side of the base of the south bridge housing at the west end of the South Bridge that connects Ocean Beach and Little Havana.
GTA San Andreas
- Jefferson, Los Santos - On the roof of the County General Hospital. It is only accessible by jetpack, helicopter, Hydra, etc. Bailing out of a plane and parachuting down with low flying skill will most likely result in death.
- Vinewood, Los Santos - On the highest floor of a scaffolding at the back side of InterGlobal Studios, immediately next to a car park located within the studios premises; there are signs "INTERGLOBAL TELEVISION" and "STAGE 25" on the building.
- Mulholland, Los Santos - On a balcony of a house, near a body armor pickup
- Unincorporated, San Fierro - At the end of a winding dirt road inside a small shack next to a cropduster; south east of Easter Tunnel , west of The Farm, and east of Foster Valley. It doesn't spawn when you wander around the map during Reuniting The Families, probably due to a bug.
- Downtown, San Fierro - Atop a building beside Otto's Autos
- Doherty, San Fierro - In the exterior of the Doherty Garage after photographing all 50 Snapshots
- Julius Thruway North, Las Venturas - On the roof of a little chapel near the Las Venturas Police Headquarters

- The Four Dragons Casino, Las Venturas - On the lower roof of the casino
- Can be bought from Ammu-Nation for $6000 after the completion of Pier 69.
GTA Liberty City Stories
- Hepburn Heights, Portland Island - On top of the construction site roof (to get it use the ruins of the doll house as a ramp).
- Torrington, Staunton Island - On top of the large star monument.
- Francis International Airport, Shoreside Vale - Underneath a small wooden ramp/bridge leading to Wichita Gardens.
- Cochrane Dam, Shoreside Vale - In the large tunnel entrance (tunnel leading to Cedar Grove).
GTA Vice City Stories
- Starfish Island - Behind a mansion in the southern part of the island after completion of From Zero To Hero.
- Outside every safehouse after bursting 80 red balloons.
GTA IV + Episodes from Liberty City
The Sniper Rifle can be purchased from the back-alley gun shops for $6,000 and each additional magazine will cost $800. You cannot purchase the weapon from Little Jacob; however, you can purchase the Combat Sniper from him for less than the standard sniper rifle.
- East Hook - Can be found on a gantry crane at the docks where the Platypus is berthed, which is located on Mohanet Ave. Specifically, the gantry crane closest to the bow on the starboard side of the ship. Only found after Luck of the Irish.
- Steinway - Can be found atop a ferry terminal-type structure in Gantry Park, located off Dukes Drive. From the leftmost portion of the docks, the rifle is located atop the second structure. Again, only found after Luck of the Irish.
- Northwood - Can be found atop a crude oil refining tower at the intersection of Exeter Ave and Grummer Rd, near the water's edge. This is the only sniper you're able to get at the beginning of the game, but it's easy to get Busted or Wasted with a 6-star wanted level.
Grand Theft Auto V
- In all GTA 3D Era games (excluding GTA Advance), shooting at the moon with the Sniper Rifle will make it bigger and smaller.
- In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the icon for the Sniper Rifle resembles the PSG-1 from Vice City and Liberty City Stories. However, while being assembled, the rifle resembles a cross between the Remington 700 of Grand Theft Auto IV and the M21 of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
- In all the GTA 3D era games, the sniper rifle's cocking animation can either be seen in multiplayer (Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories) or when set on fire (Grand Theft Auto: III, Vice City and San Andreas only).
- A possible overlook, when you use the Poor Weapons cheat in GTA IV, instead of recieving this rifle, you instead get the Combat Sniper.
- Some games in the GTA III era, setting fire to yourself then using the sniper rifle would allow it to lock on to any opponent and fire without utilizing the scope.
- In GTA IV and its episodes, the sniper rifle's bolt is on the right but Niko/Johnny/Luis will pull an invisible bolt on the left.
- From San Andreas up to the latest games, shooting the birds flying in the air causes them to disappear.
- In GTA: San Andreas, crouching while using the scope in with the sniper rifle allows movement while the scope is zoomed in but standing up will stop movement.
- In GTA: San Andreas, using the rifle's scope while crouching will automatically cause CJ to stand up, although he can crouch again while aiming down the scope.
- The Sniper Rifle from GTA III, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and Liberty City Stories uses the same GTA III AK-47 textures (Seen inside the .TXD file)
- The GTA III rendition has more realistic sound than other games' renditions in the 3D Universe
- During the GTA V Official Gameplay Video, at 2:53, we can see an indicator for wind speed on the lower right corner, which means the bullets will no longer take a perfect straight path into the target but will be curved away by the wind. It leads to think about bullets falling down as it will be more logical to have gravity also affect the bullet trajectory rather than the wind only.

Proposed tip Please edit this page to improve it, or add your comments below (do not use the discussion page).
The "!" option in
set viminfo stores string and number variables with all uppercase names to the viminfo file. It's possible to extend this behavior to dictionaries and lists too, writing to a file other than viminfo.
Limitation There is no easy way to back up lists that are equivalent to each other, ie, this will make identical lists copies of each other. Before saving:
let G=[1,2] let H=G let G[0]=3 ec H[0] "This will print 3
And after restoring:
let G[1]=4 ec H[1] "This will print 2
There are a few interesting bits here:
Ctrl-Alists all possible completions. We can get a list of all global variables via
:let g:<c-a>. This list can then be written to a variable by going back and changing the line to
:let v=...
type(...) > 1means everything except for strings and numbers, that is, funcref, list, dic, float.
==#compares strings case sensitively, allowing us to check whether a variable's name remains the same when converted to uppercase.
string()converts a list or dictionary into the command used to produce it. Writing the string
"let var=..."rather than the raw data is a convenient way to store variables since in order to recover the variables we can simply
:sourcethe file.
substitute(...)For some reason directly writing a variable containing "\n" produces errors when sourcing the file, Vim treats it as an actual line break. We have to substitute the \n char with the string
au VimLeavePreautomatically calls this function on exiting Vim.
The following script can be placed in your vimrc.
fun! WriteVars(filename) silent execute "norm! :let g:\<c-a>'\<c-b>\<right>\<right>\<right>\<right>v='\<cr>" let list=[] for name in split(v) if name[2:]==#toupper(name[2:]) && eval("type(".name.")") > 1 call add(list,substitute("let ".name."=" \.eval("string(".name.")"),"\n",'''."\\n".''',"g")) en endfor call writefile(list,a:filename) endfun au VimLeavePre * call WriteVars('vimlistsave') if filereadable('vimlistsave') source vimlistsave endif
Does this script do anything not done by built-in Vim functionality, after version 7.3.30? --Fritzophrenic (talk) 04:49, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
I'm still running 7.3 compiled by someone long ago for android -- I don't have the means to compile a newer version. Also, the Windows version linked to from the vim.org website isn't patched. I haven't tested the patched version, the help file diff says "Nested List and Dict items may not be read back correctly, you end up with a string representation instead.". I'm not sure what they mean by "may", but this method does nested lists just fine.
It still doesn't do "pointers to the same list" of course, which probably can't be done in vimscript and would definitely require a patch. In my own vimrc file, I've added something along the lines of
if has_key(eval('dictname'),"reinitafterstorate") call add(list,"call ".dictname.".reinitafterstorage()") end
into WriteVar(), so that the reinitafterstorage function would reinitialize any lists in the dictionary so that they point to the same address. I remember being really confused the first time this happened. --Q335r49 October 7, 2012

- "Depending on how well this goes, we may have five minutes to print the money before the counterfeit syndicate finds us or we may have all year. Either way, I want green rolling off the presses five minutes after I get back. Got it?"
- ―Tommy Vercetti.
Hit the Courier is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti by Earnest Kelly from the Print Works in Little Haiti, Vice City.
After finding out about the counterfeit plates, Tommy sets out to intercept them from a courier landing in Viceport. After a brief conversation with Lance and Earnest, he leaves for Viceport. Upon arriving at the docks, he is attacked by several armed women whom he kills. He then waits for the courier who arrives in a Maverick with another bodyguard. He kills both of them, and grabs the chips. Afterwards, he returns to the Print Works. After the mission has been completed, the Printwork will drop daily $8000.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- The counterfeit plates courier is arriving at the docks in a helicopter any second now
- The courier with the plates has arrived at the docks
- The courier has died and dropped the plates, get to them before anyone else
- You have the counterfeit plates. Take them to the print works
- There is a very easy way to finish the mission: observing the way that the courier passes, you can kill it using a sniper rifle. She will fall dead on the floor and you can use it use the black Sentinel to reach the Print Works avoiding the other women who pursue you into two other cars Sentinel.
- The target in this mission drives a unique black Sentinel. This is very difficult to take from her due to the large amount of people guarding her, and because the doors are locked which means you have to snipe her out of the car in order to be able to get in.
- If you shoot the helicopter, the mission will fail. Strangely, the game will say "Mission failed! The plates were destroyed by the explosion", even if it didn't explode.
- If you follow the courier in her path, she will lead you to the location where the syndicate can print the money.

WASHINGTON — A man who was reported driving erratically in Montgomery County early Sunday morning was killed when he ran into a tree.
Detectives from the Collision Reconstruction Unit are investigating the fatal crash, reports a news release.
Shortly after 1 a.m., an off-duty police employee called 911 to report a gray pickup driving erratically in the Route 108 and Hawkins Creamery Road area. Officers responded but could not get the driver to stop.
The car veered off the eastbound lane of Route 108 and struck a tree, police say.
The driver, who has been identified as Jose Antonio Ayala, 49, of Gaithersburg, died at the scene, police say.
Family members say Ayala is diabetic and insulin dependent. He was last seen by family around 6 p.m. on Saturday when he left to pick up groceries.

The National Park Service has said the fire was likely human caused, but that remains under investigation.

Winter weather is heading to Colorado and with it comes fire concerns from improper use of heating devices.
When it comes to space heaters, experts say to always place them on the floor. That minimizes the risk of them falling off of furniture. Keep pet bedding and other flammable objects away from the heaters.
Other tips include not using space heaters while in the bathroom or around water because condensation can build up, causing a spark. Make sure to check the cords often to ensure they are not frayed and don't hide them with rugs which could cause overheating.
Fire places should be inspected before use, to help guard against a chimney fire. When you are ready to put your fire out, don't close the damper with hot ashes still in the fire place. Experts say this will force carbon monoxide into your home and the ashes could reignite.
Fire crews recommend checking the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home and changing the batteries on a monthly basis.

A second singer from the east has made it to Hollywood for American Idol.
This was the second time 22-year-old Blair Mozingo of Duplin County auditioned for the show. She says when she was 17 she didn't make it through, but a friend encouraged her to try again and she got three yes's from the judges.
Although she says she can't talk too much about the show she did tell us it wasn't three yes's right away. She had come down with bronchitis before the audition, but didn't tell the judges that right away.
Mozingo says, "I was like you guys, with all due respect, I've come down with bronchitis. I didn't want to come in saying that but I'm throwing out my card, and I said let me do another couple seconds of a second song, and that's when I did Up To The Mountain by Pattie Griffin, and after about 5-10 seconds they cut me off and gave me 3 yes's.
Blair says she found her passion for singing when she won a talent show at her elementary school.
Mozingo is a junior at Mount Olive College, majoring in psychology- she teaches private voice lessons and sings at events like weddings, anniversary parties on the weekend.
A couple of weeks ago we introduced you to Ashlee Altise of Kinston who has also made it to Hollywood.

RealD Inc., the Los Angeles-based 3-D technology and licensing company, disclosed plans Friday to cut its workforce by 20 percent, resulting in the layoff of 35 employees at its facilities in California and Boulder.
Officials for RealD (NYSE: RealD) said the cuts were driven by a slowing of its 3-D technology installations in markets such as the United States, where the 3-D business has matured.
"While we will continue to expand our platform in markets including China, Russia and Latin America, we are focused on maximizing revenue across our 3D installed base in more mature markets like the United States where equipment installations are slowing," RealD officials said. "These actions, which will better align our cost structure with our current 3D cinema business, include the elimination of approximately 35 employee positions throughout our organization – constituting approximately 20 percent of our overall headcount.
"These headcount reductions impact all departments in our Beverly Hills and Boulder locations."
RealD will have 140 employees after the reductions take place, said Rick Heineman, a company spokesman.
Heineman declined to provide the number of employees affected in Boulder, adding that more information would be available on RealD's Nov. 12 earnings call with analysts and investors.
Within the past year, RealD grew its presence in Boulder by expanding to a nearly 56,000-square-foot facility at 5700 Flatiron Parkway. According to permits approved by the city of Boulder, the project carried an initial contractor valuation of more than $4.6 million.
The city of Boulder in March approved an $80,000 rebate to offset some of the sales and use taxes and fees related to the expansion.
At that time, RealD employed 70 people in Boulder.

2015 UNHCR subregional operations profile - Central Asia
| Overview |
In Central Asia, UNHCR's work focuses on developing national asylum systems, seeking solutions for refugees and stateless people and supporting the implementation of emergency preparedness measures.
National refugee legislation in the subregion is inconsistent with international standards. States are preoccupied with cross-border/transnational threats and national security, which impacts asylum policy and the protection of refugees. Progress in political reforms and developments are prerequisites for a favourable protection environment and sustainable solutions for those of concern to UNHCR.
Improving national asylum systems involves ensuring that access to territory, improved reception conditions and refugee status determination (RSD) procedures meet international standards. To advocate for this, regional platforms for refugee protection and international migration, such as the Almaty Process, are used.
Voluntary repatriation is facilitated on a case-by-case basis; however, interest in returning to an uncertain future in Afghanistan has been limited in 2014. Resettlement can help maximize protection dividends in the subregion and address the protracted nature of the Afghan refugee situation, alongside efforts to advocate for alternative stay arrangements, and pursue local integration.
While in 2015 the socio-political environment is not expected to change dramatically, UNHCR does not exclude the possibility of mixed migratory movements from Afghanistan and within the subregion. In relation to this, individual countries are expected to raise national security concerns about asylum and migration, influencing policies. The Office will continue to cooperate with government ministries in Central Asia and partner agencies on overall emergency preparedness, in particular for a possible influx of refugees from Afghanistan.
The UNHCR Seeds for Solutions initiatives in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in 2014 have been designed to target ending statelessness within the next decade.
Turkmenistan is the first and only country in Central Asia to accede to both the 1954 and 1961 UN Statelessness Conventions. UNHCR continues to advocate residence permits for mandate refugees who are not eligible for naturalization, and pursues resettlement for a small number of Afghan refugees. In July 2014, the Government introduced identification and travel documents for refugees and stateless people, which are compliant with the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and will be issued free of charge for refugees.
In Kyrgyzstan, UNHCR is implementing programmes as part of a UN-wide peacebuilding plan funded by the Peacebuilding and Recovery Facility of the UN Peacebuilding Fund. Projects focus on sustainable reintegration of those affected by inter-ethnic clashes in June 2010. Activities include trust- and confidence-building measures between individuals, communities and authorities. In addition, Kyrgyzstan is a pilot country of the Secretary-General's Policy Committee Decision on Durable Solutions. UNHCR, together with the UN Country Team in Kyrgyzstan, is providing the strategic framework for its successful implementation.
In light of the volatile security situation in the Fergana Valley, a joint contingency plan was drafted and endorsed by the Kyrgyz Government in 2013. Several activities, such as joint simulation and high-level working group meetings, have enhanced emergency preparedness for any mass refugee influx from neighbouring countries.
In Kazakhstan, the Government has been responsible for RSD since 2010, but UNHCR continues to cooperate with government agencies dealing with asylum. Kazakhstan hosts approximately 600 refugees and asylum-seekers, and around 7,000 officially-registered stateless people. In 2014, UNHCR, together with the Government, has initiated an information campaign to identify and register stateless people and find solutions to their situation.
Tajikistan hosts approximately 4,000 asylum-seekers and refugees (97 per cent are of Afghan origin), the largest refugee population in Central Asia. The country faces a range of socio-economic challenges affecting both Tajik nationals and refugees. Refugees do not have the freedom to establish their place of residence, and are banned from living in major cities. The asylum system is fragile and the quality of RSD is insufficient. The statelessness of thousands remains a challenge. UNHCR is reinforcing its efforts to address statelessness issues, and promote inter-agency partnerships to enhance emergency preparedness.
The Office has not been present in Uzbekistan since 2006. Nonetheless, it caters for a small number of refugees (133 people), predominantly of Afghan origin, through a project with UNDP aimed at finding solutions for them, including improved stay arrangements and resettlement. Uzbekistan hosts a significant stateless population. The country is not a party to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, nor to either of the two Statelessness Conventions.
| Response and implementation |
In Kazakhstan, legislative improvements are required in various laws and administrative procedures to ensure the asylum system functions properly. UNHCR continues to advise on national legislation and share good practice for refugee protection. Advocacy and support efforts continue with a view to the country's accession to the UN Statelessness Conventions and the reduction of statelessness. Contingency planning and emergency preparedness will remain UNHCR priorities.
In Tajikistan, the Office will work closely with the Government and other partners to identify and achieve solutions for stateless people. It will reinforce its inter-agency preparedness work, considering potential displacement scenarios, including in relation to the Afghanistan situation. UNHCR will continue to promote access to asylum and ways to safeguard border management systems, as Tajikistan is located at the crossroads of complex subregional population movements, including human smuggling and trafficking, which often originate in Afghanistan. The organization will support the strengthening of national asylum systems, while ensuring sufficient capacity to address any gaps in mandate RSD.
Priorities for UNHCR in Turkmenistan include: engaging the Government in procedures for receiving asylum-seekers and processing asylum claims, as well as continuing to assist relevant government structures in finding durable solutions for stateless people registered in 2011. In 2015, UNHCR will continue to seek durable solutions through naturalization and resettlement. It will assist the Government in developing and implementing a statelessness status determination procedure. Government partners will receive assistance to develop their refugee emergency preparedness and response capacity.
In Kyrgyzstan, the Office will continue to work towards ending statelessness. Innovative programmes funded by the UNHCR Seeds for Solutions initiative are being implemented with government partners and local NGOs. The activities include on-the-spot registration of undocumented and stateless people by multifunctional mobile teams.
Strategic priorities include: building a comprehensive protection system and providing durable solutions for individual beneficiaries, as well as improving the quality of state registration and RSD. The reintegration strategy entails improved dialogue between the Government and communities, impartial and timely analysis of problematic areas, and collaborative problem solving. It is anticipated that the activities designed as part of the peacebuilding project will be successfully implemented, enabling UNHCR to close its offices in the south by the end of 2015.
In Uzbekistan, provision of services to refugees will continue through the UNDP project aiming at finding solutions. Advocacy efforts to improve stay arrangements and other solutions for refugees will continue with the Government.
| Financial information |
The budget for Central Asia has gradually decreased from USD 33.3 million in 2010, reflecting the activities initiated after the conflict in Kyrgyzstan in 2010, to USD 16.7 million in 2014. For 2015, the subregional budget stands at USD 14.7 million.
UNHCR in Central Asia maintains contingency plans for possible population movements from Afghanistan in the event of any political or social instability. Should there be any significant refugee influxes from Afghanistan to Central Asia, the mobilization of additional funding would be required.

Despite an $11 million makeover, the centerpiece of Columbus Circle remains in a state of disrepair.
WASHINGTON – It was billed as a new front lawn for Union Station.
But even after an $11 million makeover that took a year and a half to complete, the centerpiece of Columbus Circle remains in a state of disrepair.
Last week, leaders from the District and the federal government held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially unveil a host of improvements, including wide brick walkways and improved traffic patterns for cars.
But Columbus Fountain was not included in the project, although organizers wish it had been.
"I think that all of the stakeholders were disappointed that the fountains weren't going to be a part of (the renovation)," says Nzinga Baker, vice president of the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation. "I think we all recognize that until we have the fountains back in working order, the work is not done."
The project was a collaboration between the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation, Amtrak, the National Park Service, the District Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration.
The fountain, though, is the responsibility of the Park Service.
Spokeswoman Carol Johnson says it has not held water since 2007 because of major structural problems, including a 4-foot-wide void that sits under its base.
In 2010, following an assessment, it was determined the fountain needed $8 million worth of repairs. Johnson says the service has requested funding for the project.

|This article or section needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of GTA Wiki
- "Tell my father I can see whoever I like!"
- ―Anna Faustin, to Niko Bellic.
No Love Lost is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to Niko Bellic by Russian Mafia boss Mikhail Faustin. He asks Niko to kill his daughter's boyfriend.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to Firefly Island.
- Chase Jason.
- Kill Jason.
- If necessary, chase and kill all Lost bikers.
Go to Mikhail's house and see a cutscene. Then drive to a building at the Firefly Island funfair where the couple are talking.
Anna's boyfriend will flee on a Zombie motorcycle; chase him on the PCJ-600 nearby and open fire. Alternatively, use any fast vehicle that you can reach quickly. The game will instruct you in how to fire from a vehicle. Try to kill him before he meets his gang. If necessary, follow the gang off road and take cover behind a tree. Use a Micro-SMG to kill the gang, preferably at range. Once they are eliminated, the mission is passed. This mission is an easy opportunity to gain ammunition, as the bikers will drop their weapons once they are killed. The bikers all use either Pistols or Micro-SMG's, while Jason wields a Pump Shotgun.
Video Walkthrough
- Jason Michaels - Killed by Niko Bellic on Mikhail Faustin's orders.
- Several other bikers from the Lost Brotherhood (if the player fails to kill Jason before he reaches them).
- Traffic during the chase is scripted (as in numerous other missions in the game), and as such, the vehicles seen are not random: a Declasse Taxi, a Cabby (unusual in Broker) and two parked Esperantos in Crockett Avenue, three Blista Compacts, two Primos, three Ferocis, a Declasse Taxi, a Premier and a Chavos on the Broker-Dukes Expressway; a Cabby, a Taxi, two Chavoses, and a Blista Compact (plus a Bobcat, a Feroci and two Vigeros parked) in Titulo Avenue; a Cabby and two Bobcats in Carson Street; a Taxi, a Blista Compact and a Feroci in Stillwater Avenue; a Blista Compact in Savannah Avenue; two Taxis, a Feroci, a Cabby and a parked Bobcat in Seymour Avenue; and another Cabby, with a parked Bobcat, Feroci and Vigero, in Parr Street.
- If you fail and retry this mission a number of times, most of the scripted traffic will disappear. Whether a glitch or not, this is extremely helpful as there is no need to dodge other vehicles.
- It is possible to kill Anna Faustin before going after Jason, although doing so will fail the mission. In a subsequent telephone dialogue, Niko sheepishly allows Mikhail to assume that it was the biker's fault.
- Shooting Jason at Funland will cause Anna to scream that Jason is nice and that she hates her father.
- The mission takes place between The Lost and Damned missions Angels in America and It's War.
- While chasing the biker, he might say "My boy Johnny's gonna fuck you up!", referring to Johnny Klebitz.
- Despite the fact that Niko is responsible for Jason's death, the Lost MC blame the Angels of Death for the murder and burn down the AOD clubhouse and steal their heroin. However, it is Billy Grey who informs them of this, simply because of his desire to start a war between the two gangs.
- The mission name is possibly a reference to the Joy Division song "No Love Lost", but this is most likely a coincidence.
- Jason's bike, in your possession, has indestructible tires.
- You can pass the mission without killing the gang by just killing Jason near the beginning.

We previously showed that ethnicity modifies the association between adiposity and insulin resistance. We sought to determine whether differential body fat partitioning or abnormalities in muscle insulin signaling associated with higher levels of adiposity might underlie this observation. We measured the insulin sensitivity index (ISI), percentage of body fat (%body fat), visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissue, liver fat, and intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) in 101 Chinese, 82 Malays, and 81 South Asians, as well as phosphorylated (p)-Akt levels in cultured myoblasts from Chinese and South Asians. Lean Chinese and Malays had higher ISI than South Asians. Although the ISI was lower in all ethnic groups when %body fat was higher, this association was stronger in Chinese and Malays, such that no ethnic differences were observed in overweight individuals. These ethnic differences were observed even when %body fat was replaced with fat in other depots. Myoblasts obtained from lean South Asians had lower p-Akt levels than those from lean Chinese. Higher adiposity was associated with lower p-Akt levels in Chinese but not in South Asians, and no ethnic differences were observed in overweight individuals. With higher %body fat, Chinese exhibited smaller increases in deep SAT and IMCL compared with Malays and South Asians, which did not explain the ethnic differences observed. Our study suggests that body fat partitioning does not explain interethnic differences in insulin sensitivity among Asian ethnic groups. Although higher adiposity had greater effect on skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity among Chinese, obesity-independent pathways may be more relevant in South Asians.

We got these in Gerbil for our screened in porch two summers ago. They still look fanstastic and have weathered the weather quite well. The color hasn't faded, they vacuum nicely and dry quickly after being exposed to rain and snow (they aren't directly exposed, but do get wet when it's windy during storms). They are quite cushy for a porch, but possibly a bit prickly for inside your house. We couldn't be happier. Great product.

FLOR's House Pet provides the best 8-ft long entrance runner of varying colors- taken from paint colors used throughout my home-and makes quite a design statement immediately upon entering. I love the easy care and great texture of House Pet. I recommend it to anyone who needs a POW statement in a heavily trafficked area in their home. Don't be afraid to use different colors either!

I've used six of these tiles in my entry hallway where I park my bikes for ~ 5 years. Despite the snow, salt, rain water and garden soil they see, they look as good now as when I first got them. Excellent product.

I use six of the house pet squares in my foyer. I'm an avid cyclist. I commute to and from work and ride in all weather in Pittsburgh. So, the squares see snow, road salt, water/rain on a regular basis. They are about five years old and look as good as new. I've washed them in my bathtub at least twice. Excellent product.

Connecticut was snowy so far this year, and as we were leaving for Florida for Feb-May, I noticed dampness creeping into my bedroom closet from rain on top of 70" of snow against the house. "No worries", my husband said, "I'll pick up the squares and dry them when we get back!
And we left. It's 75 degrees and no snow!

We have tested House Pet to install in our kitchen and are about to lay the rest down. We have a studio rental right below the kitchen and have been wanting to cover the floor to help screen the noise (family of four, two small girls). We are thrilled to have found FLOR to help with this issue and are about to do the same in other areas of our house.

I bought a 10 House Pet tiles to use as a runner in my main entry way. I highly recommend House Pet for such a use! We've had the tiles about a year. They look as good as the day we got them, even after some tough Minnesota winter weather that's sloshed plenty of melted snow, salt and mud on it. House Pet is definitely suited for high traffic areas.

I am thrilled with the rug I designed for my dining room. I went with the House Pet because it is a heavily traveled area for my dog coming in and outside. It has been nearly a year now and it has held up to the heavy traffic. I went with the tabby cat, painted turtle, goldfish, parrot, Irish setter, and canary that are sold as a set and used gerbil as a border around the whole thing. I love the bright colors with my neutral walls and the ability to play with your design before settling on the finished product. I love the Flor concept so much I am buying another rug for my nursery.

I am on the road, all the time. Either travelling, or moving. I needed an easy care, easy pack, fun rug. This fits the bill perfectly for my busy lifestyle. The colors are terrific and let me be creative. When I move to a new city, I pack them up, and rearrange them in my new space. Love it!

Staten Island Ferry
More than a means of transportation, the Staten Island Ferry is an attraction unto itself. For no charge, visitors can enjoy the 25-minute voyage by water from Lower Manhattan to Staten Island and take in the Statue of Liberty and amazing views of New York Harbor and the Manhattan skyline. The ferry—which runs 24 hours a day and serves beer until midnight—drops off visitors at the St. George Ferry Terminal, close to the Staten Island Museum and the St. George Theater, and just a short bus ride from the Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden. The center, a former retirement home for sailors, is an educational and entertaining destination encompassing numerous institutions whose diverse offerings should appeal to all interests and ages. Among them are the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, the Noble Maritime Collection and the Staten Island Children's Museum. Within walking distance of the ferry terminal is Richmond County Bank Ballpark, home of minor-league baseball team the Staten Island Yankees (they play from June through early September). Catch a game at this intimate stadium, which affords glorious waterfront views from the stands. For more things to see and do around the ferry terminal, check out our guide to St. George.

Harry Potter's twelfth birthday was wildly ignored by his uncle, aunt, and cousin, although Dudley did remember his birthday and mocked him for it. Later, Dobby the house-elf arrived and warned Harry not to return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When Harry refused, Dobby took it upon himself to try and keep Harry safe, using a Hover Charm to smash a pudding in the Dursleys' kitchen.
