Yemen political deal agreed in principle, snags emerge
SANAA (Reuters) - Yemen's president and opposition, pressed by Western and Gulf mediators, agreed in principle on Wednesday to sign a transition of power deal to end the rule of Ali Abdullah Saleh within a month, an opposition official said.
But in a familiar twist, last-minute snags appeared to be holding up the deal that would grant Saleh immunity from prosecution, allowing him a dignified exit from power in the Arabian Peninsula state that he has ruled for nearly 33 years.
"After American, European and Gulf efforts, there was agreement by the president on the Gulf initiative after simple changes, and the signing will be today," opposition official Yahya Abu Usbua said.
Al Arabiya television quoted an adviser to Saleh as confirming the signing would take place on Wednesday.
Sources close to the negotiations later said Western and Gulf diplomats were engaged in shuttle diplomacy to try to overcome differences over who would sign and when and where. They said diplomats were insisting the deal be signed on Wednesday.
The United States and oil giant Saudi Arabia, both targets of foiled attacks from al Qaeda's Yemen wing, are keen to see an end to Yemen's political stalemate, fearing continued chaos could give the militant group more room to operate freely.
Some political analysts doubt whether the deal, which would help end three months of street anti-Saleh protests that have paralysed Yemen's economy, would actually be carried out. Two previous near-deals fell through at the last minute.
"I won't believe it until I see it, that's what we learned in Yemen ... Everyone thought that the deal was done a few weeks ago but Saleh found a way to back out in final hours and days." said Shadi Hamid, analyst at the Brookings Doha Centre.
"Saleh is notoriously stubborn. If he signs maybe we'll actually see a conclusion to the crisis in Yemen and that's what people have been waiting for."
Abdullatif al-Zayani, who heads the Gulf Cooperation Council of Yemen's wealthy oil-exporting Gulf neighbours, has been in Sanaa since Saturday trying to persuade the sides to sign the Gulf-led deal, with help from U.S. and European diplomats.
Qatar, a key member of the six-state bloc, had earlier backed out of the Gulf initiative, citing stalling and "lack of wisdom".
Saleh, a shrewd political survivor who has outlasted previous opponents' attempts to challenge his power, indicated in April he would sign the Gulf-brokered deal, but refused to put his name to it in the final hours.
He said at the time he would only sign in his capacity as ruling party leader, not as president.
The opposition, whose coalition includes Islamists and leftists, said there had been minor modifications to the Gulf initiative agreed on Wednesday, including changes in who would sign for each side and in what capacity.
"The president will sign for the government in his capacity as president of the republic and as head of the ruling party," the opposition's Abu Usbua said.
Negotiations were still ongoing on who would sign on behalf of the opposition, with the sides disagreeing on the matter, opposition sources said.
Protesters, frustrated that their daily rallies have failed to dislodge Saleh, want the 69-year-old leader out immediately and have said they will step up their campaign by marching on government buildings, a move that brought new bloodshed last week as security forces fired to stop them.
"This agreement will annihilate the revolution because Saleh will not implement it," Sanaa activist Meshaal Mujahid said of the new deal. "If it took over a month to sign, how much time do we need for Saleh to submit his resignation?"
Yemeni political analyst Abdul-Ghani al-Iryani said the deal would reduce tension that could erupt into clashes between military units loyal to Saleh and those backing the protesters.
"What is important about it is that it allows the opportunity to diffuse the military tension," he said.
Protesters blocked the entrance of the Red Sea port of Hudaida, Yemen's second largest port, blocking traffic from entering or leaving, protesters said. The cities of Ibb, Taiz and Hadramout were brought to a standstill as most workers complied with a strike aimed at pressuring Saleh to leave.

I can only echo everything said by the other Freeway II reviewers. Buttons, speeds, controls - you name it. I must admit that as yet I have not suffered a broken axle. The worst thing so far was when I stopped to take a shot and (fortunately I had parked so that it was in my vision) at the top of the back swing it took off. Sorry, but this product is an absolute disgrace; Powakaddy should recall the lot, refund our money and throw them all into the Mariana Trench. It is hard to find words that describe how absolutely disgusted I am.

Stayed here second time on business for a week.
I last visited Dubai about a year and a half ago, and this hotel's standards have not dropped. The rooms do not feel dated. Stayed in the Ocean facing room, and it is a very huge room, with a nice balcony for you to sit and enjoy the open sea.
However, there is a construction right in front of the hotel, and I do fear that it might be high enough to block the view of the ocean in the future. It would be a shame if that were to happen.
Breakfast, staff and service was overall up to standard, however, it seems internet/wi-fi is not free. Whats the deal with that? I expect most hotels, especially anything 3 star and above to give free internet service. Why charge exorbitant amounts for soemthing deemed as a standard amenity?

Hot answers tagged teamwork
Ok, here goes my take on this big and complicated topic.
Pros for keeping your coding style:
Things like x = x || 10 are idiomatic in JavaScript development and offer a form of consistency between your code and the code of external resources you use.
Higher level of code is often more expressive, you know what you get and it's easier to read across ...
Everybody Loves a Good Code Bash / WTF Session
I am now worried that they will find bugs and blame me for the problems.
Of course they will find bugs. You said it yourself: it's buggy (you
already found bugs) and complex (it's very likely to have more).
And yes they'll blame you for it. Because it's a large codebase and
they will, over time, get ...
Suppose you think your boss is wrong. You have three options
do what he says and end up frustrated thinking that you do something stupid - not very good long term
tell him he's an idiot - he'll either ignore it or you get communication problems - gets you nothing or hurts you.
tell him that you have specific concerns about the ideas he proposes and explain ...
It's an awful idea. It may be quicker in the short term, but it encourages badly documented hard-to-understand code as only the coder who wrote it is responsible for maintaining it. When someone leaves the company or goes on holiday the whole plan becomes mucked up. It also makes it very hard to allocate workloads; what happens when two urgent bugs come up ...
Most people generally agree that a Software Architect should mostly be involved in high level design, setting standards, choosing tools or frameworks, evaluating products, implementing prototypes and Proof Of Concepts, and training and mentoring developers
The reality however is that the title often can be a political appointment to a developer, a special ...
Should junior programmers be involved as code reviewers in the projects of senior programmers?
Yes they should. It is a good learning experience to read other peoples' code. (And that applies both for good code and bad. Though one would hope that a senior developer's code wouldn't be bad ...)
Obviously, it is unwise to only have juniors doing the ...
Have you spoken to your development colleagues about this? How do you know they lack education? That's quite a sweeping statement and you'll probably find you're wrong.
I don't think it'd go down too well if a new grad started meddling with processes without understanding why they're like that in the first place. Managers love processes and love tracking ...
I'm surprised that everybody thinks this is such a good thing. The authors of Peopleware (which, IMO, is still one of the precious few software project management books actually worth reading) strongly disagree. Almost the entire Part IV of the book is dedicated to this very issue.
The software team is an incredibly important functional unit. Teams need to ...
So my code is late too.
No, it is not your code, it is the code of you and the senior. You are working as a team, you have a shared responsibility, and when you two miss a deadline, it is the fault of both of you. So make sure the one who makes the deadlines notices that. If that person sees that as a problem, too, he will surely talk to both of you ...
Management won't change anything if they don't feel any pain.
If you allow management to be hands off (by fixing things and being successful) then you will be expected to continue fixing things and being successful.
After all -- from management's view -- things are fine. Stuff is getting done. You may feel stressed, but that's not what's important. ...
One of the developers I regularly collaborate with is colorblind. The issue isn't just that he can't tell colors apart, but also that he doesn't tend to think much about color. He, and other colorblind people, learn to make it a nonissue to the point where color, even that they can tell apart, becomes a bad tool for distinguishing things. We were talking a ...
This seems to be a pretty common prevailing attitude among some developers. Everyone seems to feel that a code review is some challenge to their work, and that makes no sense to me. A code review is a quality assurance mechanism that has the added bonus of education to go along with it. We implement code reviews extensively where I work, and I've fostered ...
It sounds like what you're doing is basically equivalent to a code review except that rather than providing feedback to the developer, you're making all the changes that you would suggest in a code review. You'd almost certainly be better off doing an actual code review where you (or someone else) provides feedback to the original developer about code ...
The primary purpose of a code review is to find defects or potential problems. The required participants in the review should be the people who are best suited to identify these problems, regardless of their title or seniority.
As an example, if an application is being developed in Python and the junior engineer has more experience with the Python language ...
To start with, this comment:
... having a branch implies an extra complexity and thus extra work ...
is wholly false. I often hear it from people who aren't accustomed to branching, but it's still wrong.
If you have many developers accumulating changes locally, their local changes constitute a de-facto branch of the main repository.
When they finally ...
There are two main factors in my experience:
Most companies are so date driven that QA, tech debt, and actual design are cut just so the project manager doesn't look bad or to hit some absurd over-promised client deadline. In this environment where even functional quality is cut, then a long-term investment like documentation has little chance.
The best team leaders I've seen have all been dynamite programmers. But they've all had several other qualities, which are harder to define: wisdom, good judgment, good people skills (friendly and pleasant but not a pushover), dedication, commitment, and — most important of all — knowing how to give credit to others. Such people are natural leaders.
The ...
He is 100% right that you must provide enough information to make the bug reproducible - otherwise there is no chance to find out if any fix he provides will really work.
But - he is IMHO 100% wrong that this must be in form of a unit test. If you can describe a test scenario in a way so he can reproduce the failure (at least with a high probability in a ...
You've more or less already answered the question:
He's on probation
He's not productive enough
So, he needs to be made clearly aware that:
He needs to be more productive or he won't survive his probation.
He is liable to be more productive with a proper IDE than with a good text editor.
A good IDE is not about giving up control over the code you write ...
Please take a day to install version control and teach everybody on the project to use it. It's not that hard. Personally I've not used Git, but I have set up and used other version control systems and they are not that hard to get working. Make sure you choose one that integrates with your development environment. This will make using it virtually seamless.
My question is: am I too harsh on this matter?
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
It's hard to say whether you're "too harsh," but it may be unrealistic to expect your teammates to adopt all the infrastructure that you're hoping for. And truly, if the team is working well together, using a wiki to communicate between three ...
Say "I'm a bit busy right now, you can ask on stackoverflow.com if you're really stuck." Eventually he will hopefully get the clue. Also, next time he comes to your desk say
"Hmm I don't know, let's Google that and see..."
"Let's check the API docs."
The combination of these two has worked for me with co-op students in the past - ...
Comment Well
Should you lower the skill of your code? Not necessarily, but you should definitely raise the skill of your comments. Be sure to include good comments in your code, especially around the sections you think might be more complicated. Don't use so many comments that the code becomes hard to follow, but be sure to make the purpose of each section ...
Mentor them.
I've come across this same situation when consulting and having been put on teams with less than optimal team members (nobody needs a consultant if everything is going great :-/). My manager one time became so frustrated with the other developers, he resorted to getting frustrated and just telling them all the time how they were doing things ...
You need to get the situation formalised as it shouldn't really have got to this point. However, these things happen so you need to explain to your boss that you created these scripts for personal use, but they've "escaped" into wider circulation. Admit (if necessary) that you were at fault for not bringing this to his attention sooner.
At the very least ...
Some problems are naturally recursive. Coming up with an iterative solution in these cases can actually be more clunky and complex than recursive ones. A good example is any algorithm which needs to traverse a hierarchical tree structure, which is a not-uncommon task in programming.
TL;DR version: No.
Change takes time. Udi Dahan has an excellent article that touches on what you are asking, and I think he does a better job with the answer than I would.
Be enthusiastic, not bitter. Be prepared to carefully, cheerfully explain your position far more often than you'd like. Count your wins, and be prepared for others resisting your ideas. Always keep in ...
Ask. That is, ask the folks you work with. Do your best to stick to the established style of the existing code. Ask especially if there's a document list of coding standards, and follow it. If there isn't one, write up a first draft based on what you observe in the code and then ask the other team members to critique it. You'll do the company (and new ...
Like so many of these questions, I think the answer is:
It Depends
There is reason to believe that taking the position that every programmer should know every line of code is misguided.
If we assume for a moment that someone with a deep understanding of a piece of code will make changes 5 times faster than someone who doesn't know it at all (not a giant ...

On the street, keep your body in line with the bike as you turn and your head perpendicular to the ground for a better sense of balance. Steering inputs can be made at the footrests and clip-ons without moving around aggressively in the saddle.
The proper body position for street riding sees your feet planted firmly to the footrests and lower body supporting your upper half. Maintain a relaxed bend in your arms, a soft — but controlled — grip at the bars and keep your weight toward the tank.
Ask five different racers to describe the ideal body position at the track and odds are you'll get five dramatically different answers. Each rider's skill level and suspension setup preferences will invariably affect the way they position themselves on the bike, thus none of the racers are lying to you. That being said, what works for them may not work for you. Back on the street, in contrast, there's a more acknowledged norm for body position, one that leaves the rider more upright and relaxed. Understanding how to maintain this less aggressive position through all parts of a canyon ride will reduce the strain on your body and make you a safer rider.
First and foremost, street riding (no matter the complexity of the road) will never require you to hang off your bike the way you would at the racetrack. Nor will it ever be necessary to leverage your knee out on the asphalt, hence street gear being devoid of sliders. Steering inputs are made in a similar fashion no matter the environment, however, and your legs must work with your arms to initiate a turn and hold a line.
As is the case at the track, a good riding position on the street starts with your lower body. The balls of your feet (the area just before your toes) should plant firmly to the footrests in a way that allows you to hold your lower body in position with little weight on the clip-ons. There are numerous advantages to using the leading portion of your foot versus your arch as the contact point, the primary benefit being the ability to keep your foot up and out of the way while cornering — your boots will thank you later for not sending them to their ultimate demise on the asphalt. Using the balls of your feet as a pivot on the pegs will also allow you to use your calf muscles — rather than just your quadriceps — to make inputs, thus distributing the load on your legs and potentially saving you some muscle soreness in the days following your ride. Working upward, your thighs should press firmly to the tank, and your abdominal muscles strengthened to support your upper end.
The idea behind maintaining a firm position against the tank and footrests is that you're better able to relax your upper body. To accomplish this, keep a generous bend in your arms and match that relaxed position with a laid-back grip at the clip-ons. If your arms begin to straighten and your grip tightens, you'll likely catch yourself making unwanted steering inputs into the bar or getting arm pump (arm fatigue that quickly sucks the fun out of a ride). Relaxing your body, in contrast, allows you to work almost as a part of the bike's suspension and enables you to absorb bumps without feeding that input into the chassis.
Where you sit on the seat will play a direct role in the handling of your motorcycle. Unlike at the track, however, where moving around the saddle allows you to alter grip levels and feedback, street riding requires a more stationary position. Focus on sitting close to the fuel tank, as that position provides a better front-end weight bias, quicker steering and better front-end feedback. Avoid climbing from side to side on the saddle as you transition the bike through a canyon road as that requires more physical effort and is simply unnecessary at a legal pace. Now focus your energy on weighting the inside peg and pushing the inside bar to initiate turns, all the while staying centered on the seat.
Although your head will move just past the front fairing's centerline as you bank into a turn, your upper body should remain in line with the bike (i.e., there's no need to take the upper half of your body off while your lower body stays planted firmly to the bike). While your head does move toward the exit of the corner, however, try to keep it perpendicular to the ground so as to keep your sense of balance.
There are certain circumstance where moving around in the saddle and getting off the seat proves beneficial. During this year's tire test, for instance, Kent and Bradley found that some of the tires required more steering effort than others. To adapt to these characteristics without torturing their legs and wrists, Kent and Bradley would hang slightly off the test bikes at the entrance and exit of corners to aid steering. It's important to mention, of course, that in most cases you shouldn't alter your riding style to circumvent a problem with the bike; always adjust your controls to match your riding style and body position. You'll find it helpful to get off the side of the bike on wet or slick pavement as well, since doing so will allow you to stand the bike up as you accelerate, providing a larger contact patch for improved grip.
Maintaining a proper body position while riding along your favorite canyon road isn't so much about practice as it is about being conscious of how you should be sitting on the bike, so it's not particularly necessary to head to your local parking lot and practice. Remain mindful, however, that a good riding position starts at your feet and works its way up. Keep your feet planted against the footrests with your legs tight against the tank so that your upper body can remain relaxed. In addition, keep a generous bend in your arms and a light — but controlled — grip on the handlebars. From there it's all about maintaining your position and comfort level without getting aggressive through a transition and climbing across the bike like a monkey on a sidecar. It seems simple enough, but it's easy to get excited and become overly aggressive, so don't be quick to rule this "tip" out.
