...NEWS RELEASE...NEWS RELEASE...NEWS RELEASE...NEWS RELEASE... 16 July 2001
This brief fact finding report by a team from The Muslim Council of Britain visiting Bradford on 13 July 2001 cannot claim to be comprehensive or systematic.� Nevertheless, it was able to hear the views of many Muslim residents, observers to the events and those who had played a role in seeking to contain the situation.�
q The damage to life and property was against the law and cannot be condoned. However the situation was firstly provoked by the National Front/BNP, then further exacerbated by the type of tactics adopted by the Police, and finally exploited by a small, opportunistic trouble-making core.� The vast majority of the rioters were local youth compelled by a sense of frustration and anger.
q The parents are acutely aware that their children are their responsibility but they face a crisis of moral authority.� The school system encourages the young to challenge parental discipline and does not do enough to stamp out a drug culture.� There is need to improve the outreach of mosques to provide youth facilities and moral education.
q �All sections of the Asian Muslim community � youth, parents and community leaders � believe the schools are in crisis.� There are institutional problems of poor standards, low achievement, few Asian Muslim teachers in schools with predominantly Asian Muslim children and a reluctance to involve Muslim parents as school governors.��
q The Police are perceived by the Asian Muslim community � by youth, parents and community leaders alike � to be indifferent to their complaints and racist.� The Police are not trusted by an important section of the Asian Muslim community.� The gap of trust between the Police and the community is widening.
q The Muslim community leaders feel frustrated that funding allocated in Bradford over the years for regeneration have not made the impact expected. A further increase in resources to the Police is not the answer. �An audit should be undertaken to establish why real changes on the ground have not taken place.
The MCB is convening a National Conference of Muslim organisations on 4 August 2001 in Oldham to enable Muslim youth workers, community workers, Imams and other experts to share views and identify courses of action to restore confidence in community relations.
1. Some developments before the week-end
2. Events of� Saturday 7th July
�The news spread that the NF was in town.� The Anti-Nazi League started gathering in Centenary Square � mostly Asian Muslims. The Police announced that the NF was no longer in the City and the crowd could return home.� However the NF emerged from two pubs in the centre of town, shouted abuse and beat up and stabbed an Asian youth badly�.
�The pub owner said that he could see the Police watching the attack�.
�The injured boy would corroborate that the Police watched the attack taking place�.
�We had told the Police prior to the attack that the man involved in the stabbing was a member of the NF�.
�Police officers were 5 yards away from the incident.� They could see the abuse, then the stabbing; only then did they come and surround the injured boy�.
�The Police arrested one (of the attackers) but not another�.
�The crowd increased in size from 500 to over a 1000.� We, the Muslim leaders, requested the Police to keep the youth in the city centre, but we were told �We know better than you�.�
�When the NF youths were taken out of town, they were not taken away in vans, but walked through the Muslim residential areas�.
�The crowd was forced by the Police out of the town centre and into residential areas�.
�When the peaceful community of the Oaklands area � who have every right to be protected � called the Police, they did not come�.
�The Police themselves say that they received 79 calls of support from the Muslim community on Saturday night�.
3. Events of Sunday 8th July
�Between 1 am to 3.45 am there was not a single Police car or officer in sight�.
�When the Police was reported that the BMW garage had been broken into they replied �That�s good�.� They should have made arrests there and then�.
�The distance from the BMW garage to the Police station is 5 minutes.� Muslims informed the Fire Brigade about the garage fire, but they refused to come if the Police was not there.� A Police helicopter was overhead and could see where the crowd was gathering.� The Police came after the garage was burned.� It seems that the Police will not take the blame on itself�.
�There seemed three elements in the riot: those aggrieved by the earlier stabbing; some outside elements from other Northern towns, and a criminal element seeking to take advantage of the chaos�.
�It seems that pubs and clubs were targeted�.
�Why did the Police not consult the local Muslim institutions?�
�The Police called in from outside did not know the Bradford community�.
4.�� Events of Monday 9th July
�Fifteen minutes before my Uncle�s pizza place in Holme Wood was attacked I phoned the Police to tell them that white youths were grouping outside and shouting abuses.� The Police did not seem interested. The white youths then threw stones and smashed the windows.� When the Police arrived, I offered to identify the culprits, but the Police refused to act.� Another Asian gave the Police the registration number of the white youths� car, but the Police instead threatened to arrest him.� A white neighbour videoed the attack and told the Police, but this was not followed up�.
Some General Observations on the situation in Bradford
(Mr Abid, Claremont Road Mosque)
�There are estates, even white-only estates, where there are no facilities, no clinics, no schools�. We need steps for better education �..we need character-building and moral education in schools��
(Mr Umber, Claremont Road Mosque)
�There are schools with 100% Asian children but all teachers are white...there is resistance to the election of even one Muslim governor�
(Mr Ismail, Claremont Road Mosque)
�We have gained a bad reputation�. We need to improve parenting�.
�There is blame on both sides�.parents have not educated their children�children are ill-educated and unemployed and hang around street corners �there is a drug mafia involved�we have a large proportion of youth in these areas who can be easily exploited�we need steps for better education�.
(respondent, Claremont Road Mosque)
2. Youth views
�The problems are related to the drug culture.� Police seem reluctant to act in case of being called racist�
(Mr Mughal, student)
�There is very poor contact and integration between the Muslim and white youth�.
3. Views of community leaders
�We are apprehensive and worried�there is an attempt to show Muslims are not a peaceful community, always challenging, who will never integrate�crimes are being committed by a very small minority so the whole community is tarred�.
�It is wrong to pinpoint any single factor � it is multidimensional: identity crisis in youth which makes them angry and abusive, for a very small minority; underachievement; lack of parental control; a strong sense of insecurity leading to alienation and despondency�.
�There has been a systematic approach by public institutions and the law and order authorities to isolate and segregate the Muslim community and then project them as a cause for problems and trouble-making�.
�The contact with the Police is restricted to participation in Ethnic Minority community liaison committees�.

Tribute to Geoffrey Robertson
I wanted to contact you some time ago with a mention of a
person I think you should honour as someone contributing to the Linux
Community in Sydney, Australia. Forgive me if this has been mentioned
already by others, and I know that I am sending this using another
operating system, but I felt that it was significant to mention the
efforts of one Geoffrey Robertson who runs the Introduction to Linux
courses through the Technical College of Advanced Education (TAFE)
further education courses at Granville, Sydney. A longtime member of
the Sydney Linux User Group (SLUG, www.slug.org.au), he has taken
on some courses in basic usage and advanced usage of Linux, devoting
time to assisting people with getting started and some advanced
techniques in using the Linux operating system.
Actually, I would be surprised if his name hadn't already been mentioned
as a person who has done much for advancing Linux in Australia. I
know he has given much of his personal time both to attending the slug
group, and teaching related courses, such as the LPI courses.
I personally feel you should mention Geoffrey Robertson as amongst
those who contribute especially to the advancement of Linux and open

Praise and Suggestions
Well, you've really done it this time. You put out a fantastic January 2006 issue. Articles on video production and DVD authoring—loved them. The new Work the Shell series by Dave Taylor—love it. The focus on hardware projects—love it and want more of it.
You could really top off the gEDA article with a follow-up tutorial on using the gEDA suite to lay out, simulate and produce an actual circuit complete with a home-etched PCB. Maybe a scrolling LCD display or motor driver. The following month could cover the Linux driver to interface to the project.
I'd also like to see how to snoop the PCI bus to figure out how that darn Windows-only driver talks to the PCI card. I'll admit, I have a vested interest with that one. Also, you've run lots of firewall configuration stories, but nobody has ever talked about firewall rules. I'd like to see a listing and discussion of rules for protecting oneself from the various known attacks—more than just blocking incoming connection and spoofing.
Other than that, keep up the great work. I've just renewed for my ninth

Love LJ Subscription Service
In April of 2003, my mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I told her I would like a subscription to Linux Journal, so she got me one for two years. In April 2005, she asked me again, and I asked her to renew my subscription. She called the subscription line for Linux Magazine and asked them to renew my subscription (which didn't exist). They went along with her anyway, and now I have a two-year subscription to LM. The other magazine doesn't even hold a candle to Linux Journal. I finally decided to get another subscription after seeing the issue on MythTV in my local Fry's store. I thought I would hurry and sign up so I could get the issue. I used the firstname.lastname@example.com method, so I could guarantee the December 2005 issue. I spoke with Jon-Mark about this, and after some negotiating, he gave me a discount on my renewal and the December 2005 issue! I have never gotten that level of customer service from a company—EVER. His dedication to please the customer was admirable. I know he probably doesn't work directly for SSC, but you should rest easy in having SDS as your subscription partner.
I just hope my mom doesn't call Linux Magazine in April 2007!
On Memory
Great article ["Monitoring Virtual Memory with vmstat" by Brian K. Tanaka, LJ, December 2005]! I had a thought that pestered me when reading it, and I thought I'd drop you folks a note about it.
I was under the impression (from the good ol' days) that paging was the manipulation of the instruction space and swapping was the manipulation of the data space.
Now, it might be that I'm showing my age, but as I remember it (I'm saying this without a full dose of coffee yet), if memory space begins to get used beyond a particular value as judged by the kernel, the first thing it'll try to do is page out unused instruction space (that is, a loaded program that is not running) but keep the data space in core (see, I'm old) until it can't hold out any longer. Then, the next thing it'll try to do, if paging doesn't give it enough space, is to swap out data to the swap device to gain more working room. (Now on Linux specifically, which uses free memory for disk buffering/caching, the order and priorities of who gets tossed out first may very well change.)
If I really stretch my brain, I seem to remember that paging out in some cases was a lightweight process of basically marking a page as no longer part of a program's instruction space, and putting it back on the "available" queue. (I'm simplifying here.) But when the system needs that page of instructions, it triggers a page fault to try to page in that piece of code from the disk, which is the really costly part of the process.
The granularity of how much to reclaim by paging or by swapping is a kernel parameter that seems to operate under the belief that if we're starting to swap, go for the gusto and swap lots of stuff now, as one big task to save having to do it again for a while.
There's also the question of who pays for this overhead work. Page outs are counted against the process trying to get more memory and page ins are counted against the code that needs the pages. This also applies to swapping. Again, this is based on what's left of some grey matter suffering from caffeine deficiency.
Now, unless my memory fails me...what was I saying...oh yeah, if I'm wrong, then the inevitable question is, where do paged-out pages go? To the swap space? If that's the case, then what's the difference between swap and page space?
Thanks for your time and keep on hacking!
Michael C. Tiernan
Video Editing
Thanks a lot for your article on Linux video editing ["Linux Video Production: the State of the Art" by Dan Sawyer, LJ, January 2006]--a very interesting read. I'm a bit surprised that you didn't address the legal complications surrounding mpeg-encoding at all—is this, in practice, no problem, especially considering that you presumably use these patented algorithms in a commercial setting? Not being a video geek, I don't know how good Theora is at present—I've heard high praise from some, but OTOH it's still very new, and not supported in any video (hardware) equipment I know of.
(My background: I am a Debian developer, and Debian's commitment to free
software means that software using patented algorithms can, in most
not be included in the Debian distribution—that's why I probably pay a
bit more attention to such legal matters than other Linux users.)
Adrian von Bidder
In the January 2006 issue, Dave Taylor's Work the Shell column "Exploring Pipes, Test and Flow Control" states, "Many modern shells have a version of the test command built in to the shell itself, considerably speeding up shell script execution. Using the [ symbol ensures you'll use the built-in version if available, but explicitly calling test means that you'll likely not have that performance enhancement when running your scripts."
This seems intuitive, but it's incorrect. At least for the past
decade, all modern shells (bash, ksh, zsh) treat [ and test as
equivalents. In other words, if [ is a built-in, you'll find that test
is as well.
Aron Griffis
A Newbie Request
Great work with the new column Work the Shell and the vmstat article in the
December 2005 issue. I would like to see more articles for newbies like these. There
are many topics to cover, such as system startup, UNIX programming, useful
command-line tools and so on.
Ubuntu Is Winning
Not long ago, Ubuntu was just another distro hoping to make an impact. Like hundreds of others before it, Ubuntu had hoped to catch the eye of random Linux users. Maybe one day it would even become a Top 50 distro with a few hundred followers.
But now? According to distrowatch.com, Ubuntu is the
top distro on the planet! I must say I'm not
surprised. This is how Linux was meant to be. As far
as I'm concerned, Ubuntu is Linux.

Music in Every Room
The article "Wireless Home Music Broadcasting" by John
MacMichael [LJ,
January 2006] caught my attention as it resembles a different take on a
project of my own: music in every room. Both my project and John's
utilize a large collection of ripped MP3 and OGG files on a NAS. However, in my case, the plan is to hang flat computer speakers from the wall in
each room, and plug them in to my roving PDA (a Zaurus SL-5500). The PDA
will access the NAS via an 802.11b compact Flash card. At least, that's
the theory; in practice, Opie Media Player 2 terminates with signal code
SIGSEGV when I try to play any audio file, either mounted locally or NFS.
Perhaps I'll find another MP3 player that will work; I'm not giving up.
Frank Brown
I have recently published a nonprofit Web site
that tries to promote the use of OpenOffice.org formats by placing a banner
on Web sites and/or registering on the Web site for listing and linking
the logo. This is inspired only because I know quite a lot of people
using OpenOffice.org but using MS Office formats for general compatibility
reasons, even though you may be sometimes sharing documents with people
with access to computers with OpenOffice.org.
I think it's a good idea to have a more proactive community of users
willing to use the OpenOffice.org format more commonly, and that's why I am
writing to you in the hope that you find this idea as good as I believe.
In this case, a small note in your magazine would help much to try to develop
the community.

new format
Love the new format of the magazine. Welcome "back" Nick.
New Format
What gives? If this was a car it would be lowered, have spinners, paint that changes color in the sunlight, and a rattling license plate from all the bass. Please.
If I wanted a pimped-out, glossy, wide-format, steaming pile I'd just subscribe to "O" and be done with it. Please.
The sales department must have had a bad month as the ads have only shoved the table of contents to page six. Which is now on a left hand page. Because ads sell for more on a right hand page. Please.
I still enjoy the content, but I will think long and hard before I renew. Too bad.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Sara Hotchkiss is the daughter of a United Methodist Church pastor, but she never saw herself following in her father's footsteps and becoming a pastor. The married mother of two young girls never expected to be a meeting planner either, but it didn't take long before she realized that she had found her calling. Now, with a recent promotion to running the UMC's General Conference, she has taken on a new role and is excited about the opportunities ahead.
How did you get started in meeting planning?
I got my master's degree in working with college students and I planned on working in the college world. My first job out of graduate school was director of student activities and orientation at a college, and part of that job involved planning events. Then I had an opportunity to work with my sorority for a year doing meeting planning. After working in a call center for a short period of time while I was pregnant with my daughter, I got a job planning meetings at the United Methodist Church. It's kind of funny because I'm a United Methodist pastor's child, but I never really thought of myself working in the church. My dad is very excited about this, too.
What was it about the meeting profession that attracted you?
I really like making it happen—just to be able to have someone say, 'This is what I'm envisioning for the meeting," and then I get the logistics to make it happen.
The relationships in this business are wonderful, it's not just with your colleagues, but the relationships with the suppliers and the relationship you form at RCMA. Not only do I enjoy the work, but I enjoy the people.
Tell us about the new position.
I have been here seven years in November, but my job changed on September 1. I came on as travel and meeting planning specialist and I was hired to handle 25 to 30 meetings a year, but after my first year I did 60. Now we do about 125 meetings per year, so the position has progressed. Eventually I became the travel and meeting planning manager. After that I became the assistant business manager for the general conference. I dealt with the hotels, the flights, and the transportation.
My boss (the Rev. Alan Morrison) is taking on some new duties. (He was named director of support services–meeting planning, facilities, and procurement. His role has been expanded to reflect an emphasis on gaining greater efficiencies in meeting planning, operations, and procurement across the agencies receiving church funds.) I filled his role as travel and meeting planning manager/business manager of the General Conference. I oversee the logistics and planning of our General Conference, which happens every four years. (The General Conference lasts 10 days and attracts about 6,000 attendees.)
What size meetings are you involved in?
Aside from the General Conference, the size of our meetings range from 7 to about 350 people. A large percentage of our meetings are corporate-style where we pay for everything—we take care of their flights, meals, hotels, everything. Something new we're starting to work with, and this has come from working with other agencies, is the association-type meeting where you pay to come to the meeting.
I work with the RFP [request for proposal] process and get those meetings down to contract, then I pass it on to our travel and meeting planner and she handles the logistics. Then we have a staff member that handles registration and travel.
What are your biggest challenges?
We are a nonprofit so we really have to watch costs, but we have very specific needs. We need so much meeting space but not as many hotel rooms. The nice term is space-intensive and the real term is space hog (laughs). We need to go to facilities that have enough space to fill our needs, but we have to think about if we can afford it. We do a lot of meetings that are in hotels only, so we really need those full-service hotels that fit our budget. We do a lot of volume, 125 meetings, so that helps with pricing.
We are consistent. We continue to have meetings even if the economy is going in a different direction. The one difference that we saw in the recession was that our meetings were shorter. We didn't have fewer meetings, but we met for shorter lengths of time and with that came some opportunities to have webcasts and that kind of thing. That's something we just started doing—hybrid meetings, where you have both the on-site and virtual audience.
What changes have you initiated with your meetings?
The big thing that we're looking at is having Internet available everywhere because everyone brings their devices. But that can be a challenge financially, depending on the location. Typically we have better luck negotiating the sleeping room Internet than the meeting room Internet. But, it depends on the hotel and the Internet provider.
With one of our meetings we used to give them the option of the conference binder or the thumb drive. Now you have to pay for the binder. It's a greener option but it's also a cost factor. We're based in Nashville and if the meeting is on the other side the country you have to ship all that stuff and have it collated. Or you can just hand them a thumb drive—it's so much easier.

I must have fully deleted something useless but of course we all know everything stock has to be intact to get the OTA.
How can I fix it? Factory reset?
No... I think you have to flash back to a stock image..
Oh boy, how do I do that? Is there a link somewhere?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
I am assuming you are on .181. If so I recommend you download and install the Razr Utility (discussed in above thread), install on your computer and use the utility to return to stock .181...just follow the on screen instructions. You should also use the utility to unroot first. You shouldn't have a problem receiving the OTA update to ICS after that. Make sure you extract the utility .zip to its own folder on your C: drive and run the .bat file.
If you are rooted and no custom rom will you get the notification of the update?
Last edited by apl3; 06-27-2012 at 06:31 AM.
Yes you will get the notification and it will download to your phone but the install will fail most likely. You have two options: Put your phone back to stock (no frozen apps, no delete or otherwise moved apps) and unroot. Once updated you can root again if you chose. Option 2: Download and install Voodoo Root Keeper from Google Play save root and then temporarily unroot to get the update. After the update you can then go back to root using Voodoo Root Keeper. I personally have never had success using Voodoo Root Keeper, I always lost root, but this is probably because I didn't do something right, lol.
I am using rootkeeper. I just have some frozen apps and root plus safestrap. Now if I could just stop from checking for system updates.
Could someone please give the link to the freakin thread??? I need to unroot also and all these post nobody helps!!! Everyone is very vague on how to do it!

May I suggest that a law enforcement superior have in his arsenal a bean pellet weapon that doesn't kill a subject, only temporarily immobilizing him, thus possibly enabling the subject to shed light on other crimes. Killing a subject on the spot has further anguished families who wanted to know the whereabouts of bodies in order to have a respectful burial. So "shooting first and asking questions later" is not always sound policy by law enforcement officers.
Finally, as for the Jody Wilson death, I have a lot of questions. Why? There was an army of officers there with sophisticated weaponry, high-beam lights, sound system and cover. Also, they had intelligence of Jody's character before their assault on the residence.
How could an alleged drugged young man out in the open with no cover have been such a threat? I hope the officers tried negotiations with Jody first.

Stay Informed Knowledge is power! CanWEA delivers news on the latest developments in the Canadian wind energy industry. Learn more.
Did you know? Wind energy never depletes water resources.
WindSight Fall 2013 Conference '13 Highlights
home > media centre
Ottawa, October 13, 2010 - The Canadian market for small wind energy systems is growing rapidly according to a new market study conducted for the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA). The market survey shows that annual sales for small wind energy systems in Canada have grown by 55 per cent over the past two years, despite the global economic downturn. At the same time, Canadian small wind manufacturing capacity has grown, with Canadian firms now representing over half of the world's manufacturers of mid-size turbines. Small wind systems have a rated capacity of 300 kW or less, and are used to power homes, farms, small businesses and off-grid communities.
"Canadians are increasingly embracing small wind as a way of reducing their environmental footprint while also achieving energy independence. Despite the economic hurdles of the past two years, the small wind industry has experienced strong growth both in Canada and around the world," said Robert Hornung, president of CanWEA.
Although Canada's installed small wind capacity is considerably less than the U.S. or the UK, the findings of the market survey compare favourably with the growth of the U.S. and UK small wind markets, the world's largest and second largest small wind markets, respectively.
"With Canadian manufacturers exporting 87 per cent of their sales, Canada is especially well positioned to benefit from the global rise in small wind sales, as it is home to more than half of the world's manufacturers of small wind turbines in the 30 to 100 kW range," said Emilie Moorhouse, CanWEA's small wind policy manager ."As the small wind market follows large wind's growth, favourable policies and feed-in-tariffs for small wind could help Canada take its place as a dominant manufacturer, much as Denmark did with the growth of its own wind industry in the 1990's."
CanWEA estimates that with favourable policies in place, the industry could sustain annual growth rates averaging 40 per cent over the next 15 years, for an estimated total of 17,900 additional jobs in manufacturing and installation. Without incentives and policies favourable to the industry, CanWEA estimates the industry would only sustain an annual growth rate of 15 per cent.
With the exception of the province of Saskatchewan, there are currently no incentives available for small wind systems in Canada. This is in sharp contrast to several other jurisdictions, such as the U.S. and the UK, who are recognizing the economic and environmental benefits of small wind by offering Feed-in-tariffs or rebates for small wind systems.
The report is available at the following link : http://www.canwea.ca/pdf/SmallWind/canwea-smallwindmarketsurvey-e-web.pdf
About CanWEA: CanWEA is the voice of Canada's wind energy industry, actively promoting the responsible and sustainable growth of wind energy on behalf of its more than 400 members. A national non-profit association, CanWEA serves as Canada's leading source of credible information about wind energy and its social, economic and environmental benefits. To join other global leaders in the wind energy industry, CanWEA believes Canada can and must reach its target of producing 20 per cent or more of the country's electricity from wind by 2025. The document Wind Vision 2025 – Powering Canada's Future is available at www.canwea.ca.

What's happening for Halloween….around the world!
26 10 2011"I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within." – Lillian Smith
There were going to be no carved pumpkins, no candy corns and definitely no costumes. Why?
Because I was in Chile for October 31 and while I might be used to Halloween traditions like trick or treating, South America had a different way of greeting me during my trip around the world: Days of the Dead.
Perhaps holidays are not something you consider when traveling, but it's amazing how sentimental I could get while on the road. Never one for Halloween (yeah, ok as a kid when candy was the game!), when I arrived in Chile I started pondering how I would spend it.
Well, the first thing to learn is that not everyone celebrates Halloween as Bermudians, American and Canadians traditionally know it. Originating from the ancient Celtic festival of the dead, Samhain, the tradition was/is celebrated as the time when strict boundaries between the worlds of the living and dead became thin. Ghosts of the dead could, therefore return to earth.
When the Romans conquered much of the Celts land in France and England, the Roman day of the dead at the end of October became incorporated. With the spread of Christianity, there was an attempt to subsume this into All Saints Day on November 1 and the festival the night before was Alls-Hallows. Anyone see where this is going?
Well, for the country where these traditions all started, Ireland, parties, bonfires and fireworks spread through the country on October 31; while, Dublin hosts its annual Halloween Festival and parade.
The UK? Well Halloween has taken to the mainstream throughout the UK too. Yep children are asking for candy and adults get lost in outfits and parties. But what is definitely a highlight is the London Zombie Walk where hundreds moan and groan through the capital while visiting twelve pubs.
Head North to the Scandinavian countries of Norway and Sweden and you will find that Halloween is relatively new holiday and there will be a few parties and themed events around the countries.
What they do, do in Norway that is similar to our Bermudian Halloween is run around the neighbourhood between Christmas and New Years to ask for sweets. It's called Julebukk and it hails back to the Viking era. No dressing-up is really required….well beyond the layers of warm clothes required! I can attest to this having taken part when I visited family friends when I was 13-years-old.
Moving further East to Russia and the rise of Halloween is not welcomed by all. In 2008, in fact, lawmakers here sent a bill to their lower house to consider banning not just Halloween, but also Valentine's Day. Why? They are worried about protecting their "conservative ways". So in place of Valentine's Day, Russians would be able to celebrate the Day of the Family, Love and Fidelity. No word on what Halloween would be called.
While Russia might be turning away from Halloween, other countries have never celebrated Halloween, but have ceremonies that draw from the idea that spirits of their ancestors abound. The Malagasy people of Madagascar have one of the most unique ways to honour their dead. Though Halloween (as we might know it) is little celebrated on this East Coast of African island, they do honour their dead by 'turning the bones'. This ritual, ancient it is, requires the opening of the tombs of the dead dressing the bones in fresh clothes and passing them around to dance with friends and relatives.
Um….I think I'll head to Cambodia now, which is my favourite South East Asia country. Here, the whole concept of Halloween does not really exist! Instead the country focuses on the lunar calendar and the tenth month which usually falls in September. During this time the Cambodian Buddhists celebrate the Pak Ben, 14 days during which they wake every morning before dawn to prepare offerings of food and other gifts to monks living in the local pagoda and to their ancestors.
On day 15, Cambodians visit the Pagoda with sweet sticky rice (the best food in the world) and bean treats wrapped in banana leaves and other special foods to mark the P'chum Ben or festival of the dead. P'chum Ben also marks the close of Pak ben.
Do you see how it all comes around? Sweet rice or candy corn? Ok it's a stretch, but this is why I love traveling: different countries have draw on the same ideas, but it translates for cultural understanding.
Let's stay in Asia and head to Japan! If we go now, however, we would have completely missed their equivalent to Halloween, the Obon Festival. That's because Japan does not celebrate Halloween, but they do have this mid-August Festival to honour the deceased and often ends with candle lit paper lanterns floating down a river which symbolize the departure of their ancestors.
Heading further East (from Japan of course) to Mexico and you're also celebrating the Day of the Dead on November 1 and 2nd. Well, that is now. When it was celebrated during the Aztec years, the festival would last two months! With the introduction of Catholicism, however, the celebrations were whittled down to two days! During these days, it is believed here that lost ones return to the earth to celebrate with their families and friends. Visits to grave sites ensue where offerings of food, photographs and drinks are offered to the dead.
Moving to the South of this world and we hit Peru, which celebrates more than 3000 festivals a year and also finds time to recognize their Day of the Dead on November 1 and All Saints Day on November 2. These are days for Peruvians to honour their dead with Mass, bringing flowers to the cemetery and sharing food with the dead. It's a tradition that stems back pre-Hispanic years!
And finally what did I do in Chile? Well let's just say I looked like one of the scary masks in the Phoenix as I tried to hike for five days through the Torres del Paines National Park without a shower. However, with the natural beauty of glaciers, bright blue lakes and avalanches, I did not miss Halloween one bit.
Which brings me to one last point: yes, our holidays are fun, but use these holidays with days-off from work (yes, even Cup Match) as a chance to see what other places do. You'd be surprised how little you miss home as you become inspired by a new culture. Ok, enough for this week, ciao ciao!

In response, we developed CIMPA, the Carver Import Algorithm, a system that allows any electronic financial information, data or reports to be interpreted by a receiving system without the need for XML, XBRL, tagging approaches or extensive manual data entry. As a result of this technology, the Company's systems for private equity and venture capital professionals are able to import data in a matter of seconds, instead of a matter of hours.
Similarly, the Company noted that when users attempted to calculate the outcomes of complex liquidation preferences, anti-dilution provisions and other complex terms that are common to VC/PE transactions, any output was virtually impossible to verify without a costly audit of the formulas. Since the formulas were generally based in excel, this meant that few if any partners or other key investment professionals could afford to expend the effort to verify how amounts were arrived at. Upon further consideration, the Company realized that, to a certain extent, this was true of all financial reports. For traditional financial statements, this point is evidenced in the fact that notes to financial statements typically occupy several times more pages than the actual financial reports do. This realization inspired the Company to develop a system it calls OferX, which presents all financial information in a manner that allows any user to audit and see how amounts were calculated (in an easy to understand, quantifiable manner) without the need for extensive textual descriptions.
Together these unique tools form the foundation for the Company's offerings, which are backed by over 29 patent pending technologies.
Lorenzo Carver, MS, MBA, CPA, is the inventor of the Carver Import Algorithm, which enables importing financial reports in seconds, without data tagging or manual data entry, and converting them into interactive models anyone can use immediately. He has developed of over 200 strategic plans for information technology and life sciences companies and participated in over $1 billion in financing rounds as an advisor and planner. Noted as one of the Top 100 Free Sites by PC Magazine, Lorenzo authored and produced an online sample business plan used by well over 3,000,000 students, teachers and entrepreneurs. He conceived, designed, developed and coded an award winning small business valuation program used by thousands of entrepreneurs and advisors worldwide in 1999. Some other highlights include the following -

A DNA Repair BRCA1 Estrogen Receptor and Targeted Therapy in Breast Cancer

Abstract: BRCA1 is a key mediator of DNA repair pathways and participates in the maintenance of the genomic integrity of cells. The control of DNA damage repair mechanisms by BRCA1 is of great interest since molecular defects in this pathway may reflect a predictive value in terms of a cell's sensitivity to DNA damaging agents or anticancer drugs. BRCA1 has been found to exhibit a hormone-dependent pattern of expression in breast cells. Wild-type BRCA1 is required for the inhibition of the growth of breast tumor cells in response to the pure steroidal ERα antagonist fulvestrant. Also a loss of BRCA1-mediated transcriptional activation of ERα expression results in increased resistance to ERα antagonists. Platinum-based drugs, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, and their combination are currently included in chemotherapy regimens for breast cancer. Preclinical and clinical studies in a BRCA1-defective setting have recently indicated a rationale for the use of these compounds against hereditary breast cancers. Initial findings indicate that neoadjuvant use of cisplatin results in high rates of complete pathological response in patients with breast cancer who have BRCA1 mutations. Cisplatin produces a better response in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) than in non-TNBC diseases in both the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. This implies that TNBC cells may harbor a dysfunctional BRCA1 repair pathway.

Nominate a White House Champion of Change for Transformative Civic Engagement
Posted byon June 5, 2013 at 5:18 PM EDTSince its earliest days, the Obama Administration has worked to make government more efficient, effective, and responsive to citizens' needs by harnessing new technologies and opportunities to empower citizens with both information and a greater voice in decision-making. Today, we are working to develop the second United States National Action Plan on Open Government to do just that, and look forward to soliciting the best ideas and input from the public along the way.
But we know that much of the best open government work happens in America's towns and cities. Every day, local leaders across America's communities are stepping up in big ways to advance open government goals from the ground up.
This July, the White House will host a "Champions of Change" event to celebrate these local change-agents, whose exemplary leadership is helping to strengthen our democracy and increase participation in our government.
The event will convene extraordinary individuals who are taking innovative approaches to engage citizens and communities in the practice of open government and civic participation. These leaders will be invited to the White House to celebrate their accomplishments and showcase the steps they have taken to foster a more open, transparent, and participatory government.

Yesterday, President Obama visited Austin, Texas, to kick off his Middle Class Jobs and Opportunity Tour. At Capital Factory, a local start-up incubator, he met with technology entrepreneurs and innovative companies that are helping grow our economy and create jobs by building new products and services.
One of those companies, Stormpulse, uses freely available government weather data to help businesses protect themselves and their assets from potentially hazardous weather. Stormpulse CEO Matt Wensing has said that "open government data is one of the giants on whose shoulders we stand. Easier access to government data means growing companies like ours can offer significant value to citizens and enterprises."

Open Government: A Time for Self-Assessment
Posted byon April 1, 2013 at 9:45 AM EDTThis article was originally published on the White House Blog
The role of citizens in our democracy does not end with your vote. America's never been about what can be done for us. It's about what can be done by us together through the hard and frustrating, but necessary work of self-government." -- President Barack Obama, November 7, 2012
Since the first day of the Obama Administration, the Federal government has worked to make government more efficient, effective, and responsive to citizens' needs. The Administration has harnessed new technology to engage the public, worked to disclose information more quickly, and given citizens a greater voice in decision-making.
In September 2011, the Administration's work was launched on the world stage when President Obama and other world leaders endorsed the principles of the global Open Government Partnership (OGP). As part of our commitment to OGP, the United States launched the National Action Plan, a set of twenty-six concrete commitments that help increase public integrity, promote public participation, manage public resources more effectively, and improve public services. Praised by civil society organizations and the public, the Plan stands as a great example of what we can do as a country when government, civil society, and the public collaborate together. As the President has said, "Put simply, our countries are stronger when we engage citizens beyond the halls of government."
Sunshine Week: Increasing Access to Publicly Funded Research
Posted byon March 15, 2013 at 1:38 PM EDTEd. Note: This post is part of a Sunshine Week series on whitehouse.gov. Sunshine Week is a national initiative to celebrate and focus on government transparency and open government.
During Sunshine Week, we celebrate the ways government can improve public use of government information. Much of the discussion this week has been on steps the Administration has taken to liberate government-owned data, but we recently took an equally important step to increase public access to the results of research funded by the Federal Government. Last month, John Holdren, President Obama's science and technology advisor and Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, issued a memo to the heads of Federal agencies with research and development budgets over $100 million requiring them to draft plans to dramatically increase public access to the results of the research they support. The memo focused on two key products of funded research: peer-reviewed scholarly publications and scientific data.
The rationale for the policy was made plain in a Web posting by Dr. Holdren in response to a We the People petition that called for the government to develop such a policy—a petition, incidentally, that garnered more than 65,000 signatures!
"We know that scientific research supported by the Federal Government spurs scientific breakthroughs and economic advances when research results are made available to innovators," Dr. Holdren wrote. "Policies that mobilize these intellectual assets for re-use through broader access can accelerate scientific breakthroughs, increase innovation, and promote economic growth… Americans should have easy access to the results of research they help support."

Posted byon March 14, 2013 at 3:20 PM EDTEd. Note: This post is part of a Sunshine Week series on WhiteHouse.gov. Sunshine Week is a national initiative to celebrate and focus on government transparency and open government.
Sunshine Week is about the importance of transparency, and the public's right to know what its government is doing. That philosophy has been at the core of the Obama Administration from Day One, and over the last four years we've let a lot of sunshine in—including in some domains that are not widely known to the general public but are nonetheless important and deserving of illumination.
In one representative example, the U.S. Government in September 2011 committed to implement the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI)—a voluntary, global effort designed to increase transparency, strengthen the accountability of natural resource revenues, and build public trust for the governance of these vital activities. Sunshine Week is a good time to reflect on the notable steps the Administration has taken in the last year-and-a-half to fulfill its commitment to implement EITI, which was launched as part of the U.S. Open Government National Action Plan.
In the true spirit of EITI and the Open Government Partnership, we endeavored from the start to undertake this effort in a collaborative and inclusive fashion, engaging government, the private sector, civil society, and the public. We began with a comprehensive stakeholder assessment, which involved two public comment periods, a webinar, a public workshop, and public listening sessions in Anchorage, Denver, Houston, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C. We conducted tribal consultations at meetings of the National Congress of American Indians, the Alaska Federation of Natives, and tribal advisory committees, and we met with individual tribes engaged in resource extraction. We also consulted with and learned from our counterparts in other countries who have already implemented EITI, to garner best practices.

Ed. Note: This post is part of our Sunshine Week series on the blog. Sunshine Week is a national initiative to celebrate and focus on government transparency and open government.
We have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, and the wisdom, energy, and creativity of the American public is the nation's greatest asset. Sunshine Week seeks to encourage public participation in government, and the U.S. has worked hard to expand opportunities for civic engagement. As one example of this, We the People gives the Obama Administration a way to connect with the public on the issues that matter most to them.
We the People allows anyone to create or sign a petition asking the Administration to take action on an issue. If the petition gets enough signatures, the Administration issues an official response.
Since its creation, 7.2 million people have logged more than 11.6 million signatures on more than 178,000 petitions on issues ranging from education to immigration to tax policy.Beyond the sheer volume of participation, We the People has demonstrated that the Administration is responsive to the questions and concerns of the public — even if they are not necessarily the issues that the Administration talks about every day.
In many cases, petitions posted on We the People have helped spur discussions of important policy issues at the White House and across the Administration, and serve as a catalyst for change. We've also used the platform to announce new directions in policy or to continue a dialogue with people who have an interest in this issue. Read the full post...

Holliday said he has not signed a release for Van and the two will talk after the season.
"Travon's got a mom that's extremely sick," he said. "He's got some personal issues at home. We'll deal with that once the season's over. Him and I will need to talk at some point at the end of the season if that's the case. Travon's a great kid and his mom has some personal issues, health-wise, that are extremely tough."
Holliday also said Van was still unable to play due to an unspecified injury. He had said earlier the injury had caused numbness in one of Van's arms.
Van was Marshall's second-leading rusher in 2011, gaining 551 yards and three touchdowns on 143 carries. He began this season as the Herd's starting running back when last year's starter, Tron Martinez, remained sidelined as he recovered from offseason knee surgery. Van has gained 93 yards and two scores on 39 carries in 2012.
In the week before Marshall's win at Rice, Van moved from starting running back to reserve corner to bolster the depth chart there. But he did not make the trip to Purdue and has not played since. Holliday has previously said Van was injured and had not been cleared by doctors to practice.
The Marshall running game has held up without Van, ranking sixth in Conference USA at 164.4 yards per game with 17 touchdowns. But the Herd's secondary still has depth issues. After freshman A.J. Leggett was shelved after season-ending shoulder surgery and Darryl Roberts has not yet played this season as he recovers from a broken ankle, Marshall usually has employed three healthy corners - Keith Baxter, Jr., Monterius Lovett and Penn State transfer Derrick Thomas.
Both Thomas and Baxter left last Saturday's loss to UCF for periods of time after getting banged up, but Holliday said sophomore Ardy Holmes and redshirt-sophomore Derek Robinson could step in if necessary.

What is incontinence?
Urinary Incontinence (UI) affects nearly 17 million people every year, with 85% of those being women. This is a problem that crosses age, social, and economic lines. UI often has a negative effect on a persons work, social and leisure activities. Community/family interaction is kept to a minimum for fear of embarrassment and the negative social stigma that UI carries with it. UI is the involuntary loss of urine. Symptoms may include increased frequency, urgency, or nocturia (awakening from sleep because of the urge to urinate). There are 2 main types of UI which include: STRESS INCONTINENCE, which is the involuntary loss of urine with physical exertion such as laughing, sneezing, or lifting. This stems from weak pelvic floor muscles and poor ligamentous support at the bladder outlet. Often this may be corrected with Kegel exercises, however, many women perform these exercises incorrectly. A Physical Therapist who has specialized in UI can prescribe the correct exercises and make sure they are performed in the correct manner to build the necessary strength. A specialized PT has the equipment and knowledge to properly determine the weakness the patient is experiencing and how to take positive steps to change that. URGE INCONTINENCE is the loss of urine that occurs as soon as you get the urge to use the bathroom. This happens because the bladder contracts at inappropriate times (usually with certain triggers). With urge incontinence, the patient usually has to use the bathroom more than once every 2 hours. This is often brought on by the women herself by developing bad habits over the years, such as using the bathroom when she really didn't have to go, and/or consuming too many bladder irritants. Again, a Physical Therapist specialized in UI can teach the patient behavioral therapy techniques to help suppress urge sensations and decrease voiding frequency. Oftentimes, women may experience combinations of both types of UI. Treatments in the past have included prescription of medications and/or surgery. However, conservative treatment has evolved greatly and Physical Therapists have become much more involved because of their expertise in muscles and an in-depth understanding of anatomy. Improvement rate of UI symptoms with conservative treatment is between 70-80%. Downeast Rehabilitation Associates is pleased to offer a Urinary Incontinence Management Program. Kelly Reynolds, MSPT and staff therapist, has established herself as the sole specialist in this area of Women's Health that too often goes ignored and untreated because of public misconceptions and private embarrassment. Kelly has the knowledge, experience, and understanding to help patients with this problem. For more information, call Downeast Rehab at 596-0374, Mon.-Fri.

NATA 2012 - Open Round Animations with the theme, "Discovering time travel."
Author Comments
This was made for the open round of the Newgrounds Annual Tournament of Animation. The theme was "discovery of time travel."
This is the first time I've participated in anything like this, so I ended up working like crazy in case I didn't finish in time. It turns out, after spending pretty much all my free time working and temporarily forgetting about having a social life, I got it done right on time. See, I'm actually leaving to go to Waterloo for the Skills Ontario 2D animation competition soon, where I will only have access to a computer while I'm working on my animation for that competition, so I wouldn't be able to work on my NATA entry. My entry is done now, though, so I no longer need to worry about that.
As for the theme, I didn't want to do a typical time travel story, so I interpreted the theme a little differently. I recalled that scene from Back to the Future 2 where Doc draws a graph showing multiple timelines for Marty. I took this idea where, rather than moving along the forwards/backwards axis (x), I would move along the timelines axis (y), or in the case of this video, squish them all together into one timeline using a package that was supposed to be delivered to the mad scientist next door. It's a stretch in terms of adherence to the theme, but I think it still works.
Anyway, it looks like NATA's going to be a blast this year. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone's entries!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars May 1, 2012
It is a pretty unique take on the theme and the ending was funny
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars May 1, 2012
A very interesting piece I wish you good luck. Could use more anticipation, but considering high stress small hours to get it done, its really great. The music and animation, connected with great story, went really well.
Rated 5 / 5 stars May 1, 2012
First thoughts when i saw that your video was on the front page:
"Oh....OH :C. Well, time to throw in the towel for next year."
"How could he be done with his entry already?"
"Three full minutes of animation? ...crap. I'll never be that fast."
Thoughts when i saw the video:
"Wow, that's a really unique take on the theme."
"jealousy confirmed."
"impressive, truly."
Great job. i look forward to competing with you.
