[JURIST] Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki [official website, in Arabic] said Monday that Iraq will file lawsuits in both US and Iraqi courts against Blackwater [JURIST news archive] after a US judge dismissed charges last week against five guards indicted for their involvement in the deaths of 17 Iraqi civilians [JURIST reports] in September 2007. Judge Richardo Urbina of the US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] dismissed [opinion, PDF] voluntary manslaughter and weapons charges against the five guards, finding that statements were obtained in violation of the Constitution. Al-Maliki said that his government rejects the ruling [Al Jazeera report] and has formed a committee to file suits in both the US and Iraq.Prosecutors from the US Department of Justice [official website] dropped manslaughter charges [JURIST report] against one of the defendants in November. Five defendants pleaded not guilty [JURIST report] to manslaughter and weapons charges last January. The five guards were indicted [JURIST report] in December 2008 on charges of voluntary manslaughter, attempt to commit manslaughter, and using and discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, which carries a 30-year mandatory minimum sentence. A sixth guard pleaded guilty to charges of voluntary manslaughter and attempt to commit manslaughter for his role in the same incident. The Blackwater incident caused domestic outrage in Iraq and has prompted legal controversy in the US. A FBI inquiry into the incident concluded that the shootings were unjustified [JURIST report]. Iraq security contractors lost their immunity from prosecution under the new US Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq that was approved [JURIST reports] in December 2008.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit [official website] on Monday upheld [opinion, PDF] the conviction and life sentence of 9/11 [JURIST news archive] conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui [BBC profile; JURIST news archive]. Moussaoui's lawyers had requested that his guilty plea and be withdrawn and a new trial be granted, arguing that his plea was involuntary due to Fifth and Sixth Amendment [text] violations. His lawyers also argued that his unawareness of the charges against him violated Rule 11 [text] of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and that his trial counsel did not have access to statements made by al Qaeda members denying Moussaoui's involvement in the 9/11 conspiracy. The appeals court rejected all of those arguments and "affirm[ed] Moussaoui's convictions and sentences in their entirety."The appeals court ordered new arguments in the case in July due to the retirement of Chief Judge Karen Williams, who heard oral arguments [JURIST reports] last January. Moussaoui's lawyers appealed his conviction [JURIST report] in January 2008. He received a life sentence after pleading guilty [JURIST reports] to six conspiracy charges [indictment] in connection with the 9/11 attacks, including conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries, conspiracy to destroy aircraft, and conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. He avoided the death penalty [JURIST report] due to one juror's refusal to agree to it.
[JURIST] The Serbian government on Monday filed a lawsuit against Croatia in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) [official website], accusing the Croatian government of committing genocide during the 1991-1995 Balkan War [JURIST news archive]. The suit [press release] is in response to a similar suit [case materials] filed by Croatia against Serbia in 1999. The ICJ ruled [JURIST report] last year that it has jurisdiction to hear that case. Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic said that Serbia had hoped to avoid filing suit but was left with no choice when Croatia refused to withdraw its case. In its suit, Serbia claims [AP report] that Croatia committed genocide by expelling its Serb population in 1995.In 2007, the ICJ ruled in a similar lawsuit brought by Bosnia against Serbia. The court found that although the Serbian government was not directly responsible for genocide [JURIST report] during the war, the country failed to meet its obligations to prevent genocide under the 1948 Genocide Convention. That case marked the first time that a UN member state had been tried for genocide.
[JURIST] A federal judge on Monday refused to reconsider a 40-month prison sentence [JURIST report] given to former UBS [corporate website] banker Bradley Birkenfeld in August. Birkenfeld admitted to helping a California real-estate developer hide $200 million to avoid paying taxes and has cooperated with the government in its investigation of employees of Swiss banks that the government says take advantage of Switzerland's strict confidentiality laws to help Americans hide money and avoid paying taxes. Birkenfeld filed a motion for leniency based on his cooperation, but Judge William Zloch of the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida [official website] rejected that request. Birkenfeld is scheduled to begin serving his sentence on Friday.In November, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) [official website] announced [JURIST report] that more than 14,700 Americans have reported to the IRS previously hidden overseas bank accounts in response to a temporary forgiveness program [official website], allowing delinquent taxpayers to avoid criminal prosecution for tax evasion by paying all overdue taxes and penalties. In September, the US and Switzerland signed a treaty [JURIST report] that would increase the amount of information shared between the two nations on would-be tax evaders. The agreement, constructed in accordance with Article 26 of the Model Tax Convention [text, PDF], came one month after a Swiss banker and lawyer were indicted in US federal court [JURIST report] for helping clients hide assets. Earlier in August, the US reached a preliminary agreement with Switzerland over the identification of anonymous accounts [JURIST report] in Swiss banks, which would aid US officials in identifying those who seek to evade taxes.
[JURIST] A US rule [text] ending a policy prohibiting people with HIV or AIDS from entering the country went into effect on Monday. The decision by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [official website] to remove HIV from its list of communicable diseases of public significance ended [BBC report] the 22-year-old ban. When the rule was published in November, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius [official website] said [press release], "[t]he ability to travel freely and have access to affordable health care should be available to everyone. This change has been a long time coming, and I am pleased it is happening now." Clemens Ruland, a Netherlands native, is expected to be the first HIV-positive visitor [Fyne Times report] since the ban was lifted when he lands in New York Monday.The US had been one of only about a dozen countries that ban travelers with HIV or AIDS. In October, a report indicated China was considering lifting its ban [JURIST report] against travelers with HIV or AIDS. In 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) [official website] relaxed restrictions [JURIST report] on issuing visas to HIV-positive applicants. Also in 2008, the US removed a statutory restriction [text] on issuing visas to HIV-positive foreigners.
[JURIST] The Malaysian Home Ministry [official website, in Malay] on Monday appealed last week's ruling [JURIST report] by the High Court that non-Muslims can use the word "Allah" as a translation for the word "God." The case [JURIST report] was brought by the Herald, a weekly Catholic publication, challenging the Malaysian government's three-year ban on the practice. The newspaper argued that other options such as "Tuhan" or "Lord" were not appropriate [WSJ report] in the Malay-language editions of their publications, while Muslim groups have argued that use of the word "Allah" by the Catholic church was an attempt to confuse Muslims. The ruling triggered widespread protests throughout the country. The government is also seeking a stay of enforcement [Bernama report] of last week's ruling pending appeal.Malaysia [JURIST news archive], a Muslim-majority country, has struggled in recent years to find a balance between modernization and the policies of a more traditional Islamic government that has encouraged the spread of Sharia courts. Approximately 60 percent of Malaysians are Muslim, while Buddhists, Christians, and Hindus comprise about 35 percent of the population, falling under the jurisdiction of civil courts. Both civil and Sharia courts have the authority to address cases involving religious issues.
[JURIST] Threats against judges, US attorneys, and assistant US attorneys have more than doubled over the last six years, according to a report [text, PDF] released Monday by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website]. The report, conducted by the Office of the Inspector General [official website], found that judges, US attorneys, and assistant US attorneys received 1,278 threats in 2008, compared to 592 in 2003. Additionally, the report found that threats are not always consistently and promptly reported. According to the report:
Moreover, when threats are reported, the USMS [US Marshals Service] does not consistently provide an appropriate response for the risk level posed by the threat. In addition, the USMS does not fully or effectively coordinate with other law enforcement agencies to respond to threats against federal judicial officials.
[JURIST] Former vice-president of China's Supreme People's Court (SPC) [official website, in Chinese] Huang Songyou will stand trial on corruption charges, according to Sunday media reports. Prosecutors have not yet completed their investigation against Huang, who is accused of accepting 4 million yuan in bribes, but they are expected to turn the case over to the court soon. Huang will be the highest-ranking judge to be charged with corruption [China Daily report] since the founding of the People's Republic of China. His first-instance trial is expected to begin in March.In August, the Communist Party of China (CPC) revoked [JURIST report] Huang's membership, following a corruption investigation. He was also fired [China Daily report] from his official position in the court. In March, the Supreme People's Court pledged to take steps to eliminate judicial corruption [JURIST report] with improved ethics education. Huang was removed [JURIST report] from his position as vice president of the court in October 2008 by a vote of the legislators.
[JURIST] Serbian police arrested alleged war criminal Darko Jankovic on Sunday. Jankovic is accused of killing at least 19 civilians in eastern Bosnia during the 1992-95 Bosnian civil war [JURIST news archive]. A spokesperson for Serbia's Office of the War Crimes Prosecutor [official website, in Serbian] indicated that Jankovic is potentially associated with the killing of Muslim civilians near the eastern Bosnian town of Zvornik in 1992. The Serbian war crimes prosecutor indicted [JURIST report] two other alleged war criminals in August 2008 in connection with the killing of 700 Muslim civilians near Zvornik. Jankovic's arrest comes one month after a report detailing Serbia's cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) [official website; JURIST news archive] was presented [JURIST report] to the UN Security Council. Serbia's bid for European Union membership is based on cooperation with the ICTY, including the arrest of two remaining fugitives, Ratko Mladic and Goran Hadzic [JURIST news archives]. Mladic faces charges of genocide and crimes against humanity for overseeing the Srebrenica [JURIST news archive] prison massacre and other killings of Bosnian Muslims and Croats, while Hadzic faces crimes against humanity charges for killings of non-Serbs and for abuses in Croatian prison camps. Chief War Crimes Prosecutor Serge Brammertz [official profile] indicated in September 2008 that he was "cautiously optimistic" [JURIST report] that the two men will be be brought to justice.
[JURIST] An Egyptian court on Sunday upheld a ban against wearing the niqab [BBC backgrounder; JURIST news archive], or full-face veil, while taking university examinations. The Cairo Administrative Court dismissed a lawsuit [National report] filed by 55 niqab-wearing university students challenging the ban, which was put in place by the government in October. The government said that the ban was enacted partially because students were cheating on exams by using the niqab to disguise themselves as other candidates. The students claim that the ban infringes on their religious rights. The students' lawyer says that he plans to appeal [Al Jazeera report] to a higher court.Although many Egyptian women wear a hijab [JURIST news archive], or headscarf that leaves the face visible, use of the niqab has recently become more prevalent, creating controversy. The government also banned the niqab in public university dormitories in October, but that was overturned last month. In 2007, Egypt's Supreme Administrative Court ruled against [JURIST report] an American University of Cairo (AUC) [official website] ban against wearing the niqab on campus, finding that the private university could not require a student to unveil her face because it was her constitutional right under Egyptian law to practice her religion. The court nonetheless said it would allow a mandatory identity check of veiled women by guards. While most Muslim scholars argue that wearing a headscarf is mandatory, not all agree that Islam requires women to wear a niqab.

Product Overview
- Dietary Supplement
- Hypoallergenic
Indigestion affects millions of people every day. For some, eating fatty foods can bring on heartburn. For others, simple carbohydrates (like bread and pasta) may cause gas and bloating. And for other individuals, spicy foods can cause them grief. Although what we eat greatly influences the frequency and severity of indigestion, this discomfort could be related to an underlying problem – poor digestive enzyme activity.
Situations such as illness, gall bladder removal, overuse of antacids, and normal aging can contribute to insufficient secretion of stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, and bile, and can adversely affect digestive enzyme activity and lead to occasional heartburn, gas, bloating, and other forms of gastrointestinal discomfort.
Maldigestion can lead to digestive problems and poor absorption of nutrients, resulting in vitamin deficiencies (particularly fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E, and K). Food allergies can develop when inadequately digested proteins are absorbed through the gut. As large proteins are absorbed intact, the body might recognize them as foreign and create antibodies to them, resulting in an allergic response to the food. An individual who has frequent indigestion should make sure to have adequate enzyme support.
Hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach does several positive things. It assists protein digestion by activating pepsinogen to pepsin, it renders the stomach sterile against ingested pathogens, it inhibits undesirable overgrowth in the small intestine, and it encourages the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes. Hydrochloric acid also facilitates the absorption of a number of nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, iron, and some forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc. Numerous studies have shown hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach declines with advancing age. Overuse of antacids can also lead to low levels of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which can result in poor protein digestion. Thorne offers hydrochloric acid and pure pepsin from a porcine source. Unlike many supplement companies, the pepsin utilized in Thorne's product is pure, undiluted, and lactose-free.

Argyreia speciosa (L.f.) Sweet |
This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2010) |
Argyreia nervosa is a perennial climbing vine that is native to the Indian subcontinent and introduced to numerous areas worldwide, including Hawaii, Africa and the Caribbean. Though it can be invasive, it is often prized for its aesthetic value. Common names include Hawaiian Baby Woodrose, Adhoguda अधोगुडा or Vidhara विधारा (Sanskrit), Elephant Creeper and Woolly Morning Glory. There are two botanical varieties: Argyreia nervosa var. nervosa described here, and Argyrea nervosa var. speciosa, a species used in ayurvedic medicine, but with little to no psychoactive value.
Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds may be consumed for their various ergoline alkaloids, such as lysergic acid amide, ergine,[2] which can produce psychedelic effects.[3] Ergine is found in the seeds at a concentration of around 0.3% of dry weight.[4]
The plant is a rare example of a plant whose hallucinogenic properties were not recognized until recent times. While its cousins in the Convolvulaceae family, such as the Rivea corymbosa (Ololiuhqui) and Ipomoea tricolor (Tlitliltzin), were used in shamanic rituals of Latin America for centuries, the Hawaiian Baby Woodrose was not traditionally recognized as a hallucinogen, as many people say it is but there is no evidence to support this assertion. Its properties were first brought to attention in the 1960s, despite the fact that the chemical composition of its seeds is nearly identical to those of the two species mentioned above, and the seeds contain the highest concentration of psychoactive compounds in the entire family. For many people these seeds help boost their immune system, promote blood circulation, and may facilitate concentration.
In most countries it is legal to purchase, sell or germinate Argyreia nervosa seeds. Depending on the country, it may be illegal to buy seeds with the intention to consume them, and several countries have outlawed ergine-containing seeds altogether. In Australia, if the seeds are first treated to discourage use, then there are no restrictions on trade.[5]
Extracted chemicals[edit]
Extracting ergine from Argyreia speciosa seeds is illegal in the USA, since it is a scheduled substance. It is classified as a schedule III depressant by the DEA, although the substance has hallucinogenic/psychedelic properties.[6][unreliable source?]
In an animal model of ulcers in rats, large doses of the extract of Argyreia speciosa leaves (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight) showed dose-dependent antiulcer activity and cured the Ulcers.[7] In humans, gastric ulcers caused by H. pylori are also cured with M. oleifera, as it contains isothiocyanate which kills the infection.

Quit India, MNS tells singer Adnan Sami
Mumbai, Oct 12 : The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Saturday asked London-born singer of Indian-Pakistani origin Adnan Sami to leave the country immediately as his visa has expired, an official said.
The MNS Film Wing chief Amey Khopkar called Sami, 44, to the party office in the afternoon and spoke to him for over an hour.
"We summoned him after getting complaints from various quarters that his visa had expired Oct 6 and that he was staying in India illegally," Khopkar told IANS soon after the meeting.
At the meeting, Sami said the renewal process of his visa was currently underway.
"We hope that he leaves the country immediately and returns only after his visa has been renewed," Khopkar said.
Sami's visa expiry issue came to the fore during the hearing of his ongoing divorce-cum-property case against his former second wife Sabah Galadari in a Mumbai court last week.
At that time, Sami - who has been living and working in India since 14 years - said that his visa had been regularly renewed and the last renewal was for the period from Sep 26, 2012 to Oct 6.
Sami, born in 1969 London to a former Pakistani diplomat, Arshad Sami Khan and Indian mother Naureen Khan, informed the court that the process to renew his visa was currently underway.
He sings and composes music for many albums in English and Hindi besides playback singing in Bollywood.

First of all, this is my first post on this site!
Now down to business!
I have a question thats been bugging me, on the socket quest in act 5, it states that it will add the maximum ammount of sockets to a normal item (ex. Normal War Pike = 6oc War Pike ); however, could you add the maximum ammount of sockets to an etheral item? (ex. Etheral War Pike = 6oc Etheral War Pike )
Another question would have to be, can you make runewords out of etheral items (6oc etheral war pike = BOTD Etheral War Pike )?

This is the tool I use the most for attaching cut-off wheels to my Craftsman and Dremel rotarty tools. I bought this mandrel years ago when I managed to loose my last one that had come with my rotary tools. It has the ability to chuck into both 1/8" and 3/32" chucks. I mostly use it with the 1/8" chuck so I cant speak for the ability to use the larger chuck. I have used this mandrel for at least hundreds of cut-off situations and have never had a problem with one. A really good bur for any tool with a 1/8" cuck.

Gender Studies, 2011 by Bettina Rheims
"Rheims body of work Gender Studies, depicts transsexuals, women that have become men, men that have become women and a third gender; those that preferred not to choose a sex and exist as both, adopting a dual identity.
The foundation of this project emerged from a request to republish Modern Lovers a body of work concentrating on androgyny and transgender shot in the late eighties. Rheims decided to take the idea a step further and explore the differences and mindsets in the world of gender today in comparison to twenty plus years ago. Launching a Facebook profile depicting a number of the original pictures, Rheims posted a message encouraging those that 'felt different' to get in touch with the studio and from there she orchestrated Skype conversations with young volunteers from around the world who shared..
"the most beautiful stories about their lives. A lot of them knew from childhood, that they were born in the wrong body and had decided, many with the help of their parents, to correct the original mistake. But what struck me as being completely new were the ones who refused to choose between the two options, and had decided to live using both identities. Depending on the day, the mood; why not have it all? In Australia, last Autumn, someone got the mention 'X' on their passport, recognising for the first time the existence of a third sex - Rheims"

Translation initiation requires a set of factors to facilitate the association of the 40S ribosomal subunit with mRNA. The eIF4F complex, consisting of eIF4E, eIF4A, and eIF4G, binds to the 5' cap structure of mRNA. eIF4F and eIF4B unwind the secondary structure of mRNA at its 5' untranslated region. The 40S ribosomal subunit, along with some initiation factors including eIF3, then binds to the 5' mRNA cap and searches along the mRNA for the initiation codon. eIF3 is a large translation initiation complex with 10 to 13 different subunits. eIF3A, eIF3B, eIF3C, eIF3E, eIF3F, and eIF3H are the core subunits critical for the function of this complex. eIF3 physically interacts with eIF4G, which may be responsible for the association of the 40S ribosomal subunit with mRNA (1). eIF3 also stabilizes the binding of Met-tRNAf.eIF2.GTP to the 40S ribosomal subunit and helps keep the integrity of the resulting complex upon addition of the 60S ribosomal subunit (2). Studies have shown that mTOR interacts with eIF3 directly (3,4). When cells are stimulated by hormones or mitogenic signals, mTOR binds to the eIF3 complex and phosphorylates S6K1 (3). This process results in the dissociation of S6K1 from eIF3 and S6K1 activation. The activated S6K1 then phosphorylates its downstream targets including ribosomal protein S6 and eIF4B, resulting in stimulation of translation. Further findings demonstrated that activated mTOR signaling induces the association of eIF3 with eIF4G upon stimulation with insulin (3).

United States Senator
August 2, 2006
Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy,
Ranking Member, Judiciary Committee
"The Authority to Prosecute Terrorists Under
The War Crime Provisions of Title 18"
Judiciary Committee
August 2, 2006
In 1996, working with the Department of Defense, Congress passed the War Crimes Act to provide criminal penalties for certain war crimes committed by and against Americans. The next year, again with the Pentagon's support, Congress extended the War Crimes Act to violations of the baseline humanitarian protections afforded by Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. Both measures were supported by a broad bipartisan consensus, and I was proud to sponsor the 1997 amendments.
The legislation was uncontroversial for a good reason. As I explained at the time, the purpose and effect of the War Crimes Act as amended is to provide for the implementation of America's commitment to the basic international norms we subscribed to when we ratified the Geneva Conventions in 1955. Those norms are truly universal: They condemn war criminals whoever and wherever they are.
That is a critically important aspect of the Geneva Conventions and our own War Crimes Act. When we are dealing with fundamental norms that define the commitments of the civilized world, we cannot have one rule for us and one for them, however we define "us" and "them."
As Justice Jackson said at the Nuremburg tribunals, "We are not prepared to lay down a rule of criminal conduct against others which we would not be willing to have invoked against us."
In that regard, I was disturbed to read recent reports that the Department of Justice is drafting legislation to narrow the scope of the War Crimes Act to exclude violations of the Geneva Conventions and retroactively immunize past violations. Before taking such a drastic step there is much we need to know. In particular, I have been concerned for some time that this President has thought he could immunize conduct otherwise illegal. I want to know whether the Administration has sought to immunize illegal conduct and on what basis.
But the Chairman convened this hearing today to consider the Government's authority to prosecute terrorists under the War Crimes Act. It has long been open to the Administration to charge suspected terrorists, including those imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, with federal crimes. In addition to the War Crimes Act, federal law provides criminal penalties for terrorism, torture, hostage-taking, and other acts considered grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions, regardless of where these acts may occur. And unlike the international law of war, Federal law allows for prosecution of the crime of conspiracy.
There is ample authority under federal law for the prosecution of international terrorists. But for various reasons, some good and some bad, the Administration has made little use of that authority against suspected terrorists. As far as I can tell, the Ashcroft Justice Department and the Gonzales Justice Department have yet to file a single charge against anyone for violation of the War Crimes Act. Nor has the Administration made use of the processes and procedures set forth in the Manual for Courts-Martial and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Instead, the Bush-Cheney Administration has pursued a two-pronged strategy. First, with respect to the vast majority of the 700-plus prisoners at Guantanamo and the unidentified prisoners in secret prisons abroad, the Administration has frankly stated that it has no interest in trying them in any court, civilian or military.
Second, this Administration has decided to bring a small number of detainees before "military commissions." I have no objection in principle to the use of military commissions. Indeed, I introduced legislation to authorize procedures for military commissions back in February 2002 after holding hearings in 2001 on the issue. I invited the Administration to work with Congress on legislative authority for such commissions. Regrettably, when the Administration had the option to work in a constructive way with Congress, it chose its customary path of secrecy and unilateralism. This Administration's go-it-alone approach yielded the predictable result after four years; it has achieved nothing other than an embarrassing defeat in the United States Supreme Court. Not a single suspected terrorist has been held accountable before a military commission in the last six years.
The Court's landmark separation-of-powers decision in Hamdan compelled the Bush-Cheney Administration to finally come to Congress to request authorizing legislation. I was encouraged to read the testimony the uniformed witnesses provided before the Armed Services Committee, in which they indicated that the starting point for legislation should be the well-established rules governing courts-martial. But when the Administration's civilian lawyers came before this Committee, they instead argued that Congress should rubberstamp the problematic procedures that the Supreme Court struck down.
What is at stake for all Americans as these decisions are made, are our American values and the primacy in our system of government of the rule of law.
Today, we have before us some of the uniformed witnesses who testified before the Armed Services Committee. I look forward to the testimony of the JAG officers. They have been trying to uphold the best military justice traditions, but have too often been cut out of this Administration's deliberations. I thank them for their services and their willingness to work with us in Congress and to share their views.
I look forward to our consideration at this hearing whether the War Crimes Act provisions should be expanded to include additional offenses. In the future I hope that that they will be willing to appear before our Committee, again, as we consider how to construct military commissions.

No – part of the project is to draw in those who do not have easy access to the internet so that they can also contribute and share information. Mywage aims to bring together different stakeholders, including employers, employees, government officials, trade unions and the media, to raise awareness and create social dialogue around wage and work issues.
Who works with Mywage Kenya?
Mywage Kenya has partnered with the Confederation of Trade Unions (COTU) and the Federation of Kenyan Employers (FKE).
How does Mywage Kenya collect salary data?
Visitors to the site are encouraged to take the 10 minute Salary Survey. This is a 10-minute confidential exercise, which collects information about wages and working conditions. This data is collected and fed back into the website so that visitors can find out what workers in different sectors are earning.
In addition, each year one random person from Kenya who takes the survey will receive a cash prize of a minimum wage – the equivalent of one month's minimum wage salary. Click here for further details
Is Mywage Kenya part of an organisation?
Yes. Mywage Kenya forms part of the global Wage Indicator Foundation. The foundation has websites in 70 different countries, including South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. They all deal with salary transparency, labour laws, minimum wages and decent work. The Wage Indicator Foundation is based in the Netherlands and works with journalists, academics, unionists, employers, IT specialists and the scientific community to provide fair and accurate information.

The STD Discussion
By Two Sense on August 18, 2010 11:49 AM
At what point do you disclose an STD and how? I have genital herpes and seldom have outbreaks, but I haven't told my boyfriend of three months. We've been through HIV testing, we're monogamous, and I'm on the pill, so we don't use condoms anymore. With the treatments available, I won't likely give it to him, but not telling him seems dishonest.

Minister Oblansk (fl.1994) was a Bulgarian Minister for Magic. He attended the final match of the 1994 Quidditch World Cup. He wore gold-trimmed, black velvet robes and acted as if he did not understand English.
British Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge introduced him to Harry Potter and asked if he knew about the boy's famous history. Oblansk became excited when he recognised Harry's scar. Fudge introduced the man to the Malfoy family next, attempting to pronounce his surname twice (first as "Oblansk" and then as "Obalonsk"), before giving up and simply calling him the Bulgarian Minister for Magic. Fudge excused his poor introduction by claiming that the Minister couldn't understand anything said in English. However, when the Bulgarian National Quidditch team lost to Ireland, Oblansk sullenly declared, "Vell, ve fought bravely." Fudge was angered to learn that Oblansk really did know English and had only feigned ignorance because he found it extremely amusing to watch his British counterpart try to communicate through gestures.[1]

Rumors surfaced last month that Samsung would be releasing an update to the Galaxy Note that launched earlier this year. The phone is said to have a massive 5.5-inch display and a quad-core processor among other features. We now know that the latter bit of information is likely accurate thanks to recent test results uploaded to GLBenchmark.
Specifically, the handset will have a quad-core Exynos processor clocked at 1.6GHz, or 200MHz higher than the chip found in the recently released Galaxy S III. The dual-core Galaxy S II was clocked at 1.2GHz while the original Galaxy Note has a dual-core processor ticking along at 1.4GHz.
The benchmark results are a little higher than what the Galaxy S III is capable of according to SlashGear. We also know that the screen resolution on the tested device was 1,280 x 720, good for a 16:9 aspect ratio instead of the 16:10 found on the original. This lends some credit to earlier rumors about the screen being a little larger but the phone maintaining roughly the same chassis size.
The phone also appears to be running Android Jelly Bean, likely shipping as the native OS. It would seem a bit foolish at this point to launch what could be a flagship handset with yesterday's operating system.
We still expect Samsung to introduce the handset on August 30, just one day before Germany's IFA 2012 trade show begins. It seems that Samsung is keen on launching the smartphone before Apple makes the new iPhone available.
User Comments: 5
Got something to say? Post a comment-
Its too early for a Note 2. I'm just getting used to my Note 1 with the recently updated ICS on it. Plus the new specs arent enough to warrent an upgrade this soon and lowering the res to 720p wtf? Keep the current 1280 x 800 res please dont dumb it down Samsung.
The dual-core in the current Note is a little sluggish in my opinion. I have both the Note and GS3 and the GS3 is much snappier so updating the Note 2 with the quad-core warrants the upgrade alone in my opinion. I cannot wait for it to come out
SGS3 also has Jelly Bean which would make your note a lot more responsive.
It's not too soon for a Galaxy Note 2 for me. I didn't buy the first version. So I say bring it on. It can't get here soon enough in the event that I decide to purchase it. :)
But is it still sluggish with ICS? My gingerbread one is way too sluggish and decided to sell it (international model in the U.S.) because it will never get the ICS upgrade. Was going to buy the ATT version (even though I hate giving up my physical "home" button) but am on the fence now, waiting for more news on Note 2. However, even if it's announced the end of August, we probably won't see it in the U.S. until next year sometime (I'll never by another international model because they never get an OTA upgrade), so rather than be without a Note (I have the SGS 3 now and want my note back) until next year, I might get the ATT Note 1 right now, then think about upgrading next year.

text: The former star of The Real Housewives of New York City is now a single mom with her own Skinnygirl nutrition and spirits line and a nationally syndicated talk show airing this fall! Skinnygirl secretsWe caught up with her at SELF's Workout in the Park to talk fashion, fitness and Fifty Shades of Grey. SheKnows: How does being a mom influence your fashion choices?Bethenny Frankel: When you're out with the stroller, you can't rock those heels and it's very depressing, so you have to wear stylish flats and stylish boots. And you want to be comfortable. When you're wearing jeans that have no stretch in them, it's not fun to bend down and pick your kid up or go on the slide with her. So you need a little more comfort. SK: What's your favorite part about being a mom?BF: My favorite part is the hugs and the kisses and the snuggles. SK: What are your favorite beauty products right now?BF: Any kind of spray toner, a serum and an exfoliating scrub for the shower. Bobbi Brown has nice moisturizers; Laura Mercier has nice products. Kate Somerville has a great serum and Neutrogena has great products. I'm not a person who believes it has to be the most expensive thing. I like really hydrating eye creams. SK: You look amazing! How did you get back in shape after having Bryn?BF: Everything that I wrote in my book Naturally Thin works for a pregnant person, too. I didn't go on any kind of crazy extreme diet. I just ate normally and it does come off. A lot of people get panicked and go on these crazy diets and then they end up bingeing. You have to just be relaxed. It took a lot of time to gain the weight so it takes time to lose it. SK: What do you keep in your gym bag?BF: I don't really have a gym bag because I do my yoga DVD at home, but if I did have a gym bag, I'd have face wipes, because girls break out from waiting an hour to wash their face. I'd have a hair tie and my Skinnygirl Daily On The Go nutrition bars and Power Packets for my water. SK: What do you like to do when you get some alone time?BF: My favorite thing to do is edit my next book. That's what I have to do during my alone time. I was reading Fifty Shades of Grey and I haven't finished yet, but that was fun. I liked the beginning. It was a little bit of a turn on and I like the whole conversation about it.

stranded...never without u2 in my car!
will u2 be adding "stranded" in the next album? such a brilliant song.. got the charity album..but wish to hear on a u2 album more!
by the way well done for achieving greatness with this 360 album..hitting the top board is such an achievement..well deserved. keep up the singing!
elsaedgefan - 02 February, 2010
Thanks Bono & Edge
In my opinion, Bono's voice is the angel voice on this track. Great collaboration and great song to help the people of Haiti.
rfinnie - 23 January, 2010
good work
Love the song and plan to download. does anyone know if this song and the rest of the hope for haiti album will be available hardcopy (in a form other than as a download from itunes?).
donnavoxtoo - 23 January, 2010
it's a beautiful song with a compelling message, but, i was disappointed that bono's vocals were so difficult to hear -- rihanna's voice definitely drowned him out; also, i would have been happy to see more of bono and edge on camera. these are the words of a U2 fan who can't get enough of her boys, though and, in the end, nothing matters except that the people of haiti get the help they so desperately need.
bonohot - 23 January, 2010
haitai telethon
beautiful song terrific combination of talent ...but why was it so difficult to hear legendary BONO for a while i thought his mike was off he should always be in the spotlight not the background
xalira - 22 January, 2010
Great song!
I loved it, nice riff by the Edge, too bad Bono wasn't that hearable...
Hope it will become a hit and that all profits will go to help the people of Haiti.
MeghanW - 22 January, 2010
That collaboration and performance was brilliant. Amazing song with a great purpose.
Paykid - 22 January, 2010
I'm really psyched to hear this song! Definitely think Bono's onto something with the word 'stranded,' -especially- in this situation. It reminds me of everything that's happened on these lines; for example, the concert with Greenday in New Orleans following Katrina, the image of the woman stranded; her sign reads Please-- I am an American!
More importantly, she is-- they are-- humans, and it is so important that they not remain stranded. Props to everyone involved in this effort!
lf1971 - 22 January, 2010
So looking forward to hearing this song. I've already made my donations to help the people of Haiti and I'm sure the Canadian and US funding drive tonight will raise more much needed funds. I encourage all in the "U2 community" to give as much as you can to help our brothers and sisters in Haiti. We are ONE!
mattybono - 22 January, 2010
Easily three of the best acts in the world coming together! Brilliant idea. Can't wait to hear it! Hold on Haiti!
mariannemo - 22 January, 2010
I am very excited to hear the new music and lyrics. My hope is that some day, Haiti will hear what the world is doing for them because right now, they don't even know this is going on. May they feel our prayers.
karenmikoyan - 22 January, 2010
Maybe it wil be awesome!
Can't wait to listen the song!
EverythingU2 - 22 January, 2010
Music has always been my favorite art form and not just because I love to sing in the car to all my favorite hits! Music ALL WAYS comes to the rescue of the "Stranded." Musicians and compassion are two words that are in synch with one another>how else could we all experience multiple emotions that great songs inspire in all of us? Once again, musicians (Bono and all others) come to the rescue and help the people of Haiti whom are devastated from this earthquake. Bono, Jay Z,and Rihanna will most likely deliver a song put together with Bonos lyrics (that always reach us globally and individually-we can relate to both Haiti... and introspectively, to ourselves) that will empower the "helpful" and those in need of "help." Thank you Valerie

I was wondering the same thing. It must be In N Out saying no to that. I can't believe any local business man with an arena would balk at putting an In N Out inside his arena. It would be a gauarnteed cash cow.
Personally speaking, I'm glad In N Out is as small as it is. It keeps it special. My nightmare is it going public and being franchised. Damn, I'm depressed just thinking about it.
#1, animal style. That's all I need.
can you also imagine the demands LEVY and AEG would put on you for free stuff for their VIP parties and comps for customers adn employees. Not to mention what the "rent" for the space would be. I am sure its not worth the hassle
#1 w/ grilled onions and animal style fries well done w/ a rootbeer mmmm
For the record.
Two double doubles animal style, neopolitan shake, with the occasional addition of animal style fries.
Im a cow.
#1, raw onions, chocolate shake, and a lemonade.
I'm going to eat it in my car, who am I kidding?
But will you put it in a bag?
If it's in the box, I may dismember my dog trying to protect my french fries.
No ketchup, extra salt packets, please!

Federal authorities arrested a Bronx woman Thursday that they allege posed as a relative of one of the Newtown school shooting victims as part of a fundraising scam.
Investigators say Nouel Alba, 37, collected donations for what she said was a funeral fund for one of the 20 children killed.
She allegedly reached out to donors using Facebook, phone calls and text messages.
According to the complaint, Alba claimed she didn't know her PayPal account was being used to receive donations and refunded the money days later.
If convicted of lying to investigators, Alba faces five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Authorities ask anyone with knowledge of fundraising schemes connected to the Newtown tragedy to contact the FBI in Connecticut.
