Mi'kmaq protest on the Rock
Share via Email
Re: Indians status stampede roils the Rock, May 5
Indians status stampede roils the Rock, May 5
They are wondering about the Mi'kmaq people and their descendants but they will never, never have to worry about the Beothuk since the last known individual, Shanawdithit, died in 1829 suffering from tuberculosis. She was about 29 years of age, after the rest of the original inhabitants were literally hunted and killed by the "nice" people who arrived there to from Cornwall, Devon and Somerset to fish.
So much for civilization. The last time that I was in Vancouver I saw crews of native Canadians cruising the downtown streets and alleys picking up native men to save them from the predominately "Brit" cops. They were wearing jackets lettered with the name Beothuk. The Policemen that I saw were not very happy.
Louis Kellman, Fergus
Kudos to Sandro Contenta for his article. The scam that is being promoted by many Mi'kmaq Indian bands is disgusting. How far is the Canadian government going to support people who do not have any entitlement?
Over 23,000 people have already received special status. Another 70,000 have applied. Contenta reports that less than two-thirds of applicants qualify.
In Canada, all the Indian community now need to do is make some noise and be granted welfare for life. This is not fair to all Canadians.

Why the fkk is there TWO different (!!) communities on burdastyle? One german and one "english"? Im swedish, but always buy the german burdastyle, but a member of burdastyle.com community. Just think its sad that Burdastyle has seperated them two….buhhuu Why dont Burdastyle do as facebook, have same sites just translated, so we can also share German speaking DIYers ideas!
Dec 13, 2009, 03.12 PMby ichigogirl
And if it's a language barrier thing, I would guess that it's a sign that the germans really need to practise their english! I'm swedish too, there are loads of us from all over the world who speak and write less than perfect english here, you don't have to be a native speaker, this site is about sewing! I feel a bit sad for the germans since they will become more isolated this way…
Dec 14, 2009, 12.03 AMby zickzack
I don't want to become an isolated German – I'll just stay here ; )
An international site is definitely better!
Dec 14, 2009, 10.20 AMby simka
well, I actually am german and I don't feel isolated by any means! It's only that we have two sites to go to. But it's not only us with this opportunity, the burdastyle site comes in many languages so none of us misses a thing, I guess. :)
Dec 14, 2009, 05.17 PMby jd98
I might be completely wrong here, but I think it's the old Burdafashion website that's changed/been renamed for the German version. Nothing to do with "our" Burdastyle, except the same owners. It's the site where you can see previews of BWF, buy Burda patterns etc.
Dec 15, 2009, 06.14 AMby judeb
Thats what I thought too and it is linked to the other language pages of Burda fashion, I do think it a shame that they haven't revamped ALL the BF sites not just the German one.

VA-API Video Decoding Support For Wayland
Published on 12 February 2012 06:44 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
3 Comments
One of the many items that Intel developers have been working on for
the rapid ascent of Wayland
is GPU video decoding support.
VA-API, VDPAU, and XvBA are among the video decoding APIs out there already for Linux that currently work under X, but they must be modified to work with Wayland. Intel's started on the VA-API support for Wayland, since that's their video acceleration API of choice with it being used by their in-house Intel graphics driver. Intel Sandy Bridge hardware with VA-API is excellent and mighty fast for both video encoding and decoding.
Last week Zou Nanhai mentioned on
the Wayland list
that they (the China team) are working on implementing libva (the VA-API library) for Wayland. He proceeded to ask a few technical questions.
Kristian Høgsberg then mentioned that some libva work was already started in
this Git repository
. Benjamin Franzke started initial work on supporting VA-API under Wayland towards the middle of last year.
There's still no mainline support for Wayland VA-API yet, but it will likely be here by Wayland 1.0 later in the year. Meanwhile, there haven't been any visible efforts yet by other parties in enabling VDPAU to work within a Wayland compositor.
NVIDIA wouldn't be expected to support their Video Decode and API for Unix implementation in Wayland until their proprietary driver actually works with Wayland... When that will happen, we don't know yet due to the technical differences. It will likely be a while. NVIDIA's stance right now is
they don't have any plans to support Wayland
, but that is surely going to change. There is the VDPAU state tracker in Gallium3D that some drivers are supporting, but there hasn't been any pro-Wayland activity there quite yet.

Do people who achieve greatest daily life accomplishment find it by error or is it something that is manifested? Can you plan to achieve your desires and stay a daily life or bliss, or is it all just a issue of luck?
Opps, you forgot to make sure your electrical system was up to par. The fix heads again out to the residence only to find knob and tube wiring all through the 2nd ground and the electrical panel box wants upgraded. There goes an additional $1,500 to repair this mess. Finally, 9 months into this tenant's residency in your residence and it is acquiring colder exterior and they endeavor to change the furnace on.
The previous note I'd like to make is on residence administration. House professionals help house owners every day. They are there when we are not. They handle payment processing from tenants. They handle difficulties phone calls in the center of the night time. They handle grievances. They don't do this for free of charge, even so. Normally residence administration corporations charge ten%25 of the gross income of the residence.
Here is a easy remedy to toss this fantasy out of the window. Get rid of your Tv. On common, an American retains their eyes mounted on that large box (sorry if I have insulted your slick LCDs) for one hundred eighty minutes each and every solitary working day. And of program weekends mean far more of this. If you search in the correct places, these one hundred eighty minutes can change your daily life by one hundred eighty levels. Actual estate isn't about leaving the front doorway at eight in the early morning and hopping in from the again doorway at six. If you know where to search, these 3 hrs are far more than adequate to fish out the offer of a life span.
It's not people competing for opportunities. Relatively, its opportunities competing for people. There is plethora of solid click here discounts in the market place. You just have to swap on your torch!
Find your private income NOW! Locate your difficult Cash now. It isn't low-cost; you will shell out for it, but line it up forward of time! A typical difficult income financial loan will cost you a good little bit of change. twelve-15%25 is typical, alongside with 5 factors up front. SO WHAT!
There are a handful of far more specifics on closing the offer, but this was the crucial factors. And of course, it was entirely worth it- not just for the verify, but for the ongoing lessons in offer control and the perseverance it will take to build a effective business! I wanted to share this with absolutely everyone simply because not each and every offer will go as smooth as we would like, but if we stay the program and perform by means of the issues we will be effective.
Verizon has a inclination to lay pipe in neighborhoods in a manner that disrupts other providers. I know of a lot of folks that have Verizon fios that formerly had other providers. They providers intermittently unsuccessful much more typically than not after Verizon FIOS was mounted in the spot. However and nonetheless, FIOS was a better support so most folks just switched and didn't complain.
You can also hook up with an additional individual bundle if you want by picking the coupon that delivers you $ten off of you thirty day period-to-thirty day period monthly bill, no issue which organizations you opt for, as long as you signal up for two a long time. There is no activation fee to be worried about and you get rewarded with a $250 Visa Pay as you go card to use as you like as a 'thank-you' for your determination.
While I nonetheless material, that http://hotdealsboard.net/verizon-fios-promotion-code-and-promo-codes/ is functionally much better. I have labored with a syndicate that used equally FIOS to begin with then switched back to Comcast. The greatest situation they had with Verizon was in correct billing. In reality, they Fios program labored good. They liked no main issues with Fios. However, from a enterprise perspective, they noticed above charges on their monthly bill that had been not resolved swiftly.
You can also view above 14,000 motion pictures each and every thirty day period with the On Desire Possibilities. If you are exhausted of viewing the very same previous uninteresting Tv set stations that you see above and above, the On Desire will allow you to watch motion pictures 24/7 if you select to.
The very best way to locate the proper promo code is to locate a site which specializes in publishing such coupon codes. Just like the coupon codes you would get to the store, these help save you cash on the items you want or need. The only difference is that you simply click on these and they do all the function. There is no need to help save the paper, minimize items out or get them to a nearby Verizon consultant for redemption.
In reality, the codes aren't missing. They are incredibly easy to track down on the internet. You will locate that there are numerous offers offered by Verizon all the time. The types earlier mentioned are just a amount of of folks at the second offered. When these expire you will be in a place to learn other people that are just as quite excellent.
When it will come to the installation, you are treated with the utmost regard and the experienced specialists will be much more than satisfied to set up your complete property and they will not leave right up until you are entirely happy. They will clarify the process of the installations and almost everything that you get with it, all for no additional cost.
Saving cash is not only sensible, but it is also "in" these days. Enjoy your savings and your providers with a Verizon Fios Advertising which fits your needs.

US can manufacture support in Africa
Investing in the industrialisation and technological advancement of the continent will go a long way
It was perhaps typical of US President Barack Obama: Plenty of symbolism, not enough to show for it. During his African safari — to Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania — Obama spoke about the rise of African nations, whose natural resources are increasingly in demand and who are experiencing increased economic growth, in part because of improved governance and communication technology.
Africa needs a better trade deal with the US, the world's largest economy. The US needs to open its markets to, particularly, manufactured goods from the continent. Manufacturing and value-added products create the jobs and economic growth, which is essential to sustainable development that will reduce Africa's reliance on the export of its raw materials. This is the importance of the announcement of a $7 billion initiative over five years to double access to power in sub-Saharan Africa. Access to cheap and reliable power has the potential to transform Africa from an exporter of raw material to a producer of finished goods.
Also, the African Growth and Opportunities Act, which is aimed at developing the economies of sub-Saharan Africa by improving their commercial relationship with the US, must be extended and expanded, as Obama promised during his stop in South Africa. The act is due to expire in 2015 and the sooner it is renewed the better for business confidence and investment in the continent.
Beyond opening its markets, the US should reduce its subsidies to its agricultural industry, which by lowing their production costs effectively keep African goods out of its own and other international markets. The abuse of subsidies in developed countries is the cause of the deadlock at the World Trade Organisation, which has prevented a global trade deal that would benefit all.
China has stolen a march on the US by investing in extractive industries and infrastructure development in Africa, but if the US is able to invest in the industrialisation and technological advancement of the continent, it will be able to make up some of the lost ground.

Canada Will Favor Refugee Claims From LGBT Russians
BY Jase Peeples
August 13 2013 3:53 PM ET
LGBT Russians hoping to escape persecution in their country can seek asylum in Canada, reports The Globe and Mail.
Chris Alexander, Canada's immigration minister, said Monday that LGBT people who wished to flee persecution in Russia would have their asylum claim favorably reviewed by the country's refugee board.
"[Refugee claims] related to this particular issue will of course be looked at very seriously by our very generous system," Alexander told The Globe and Mail, adding that Russia was restricting fundamental rights of LGBT people with the country's newly passed gay "propaganda" law.
Canada accepts the claims of LGBT refugees in the same manner as those filed by other persecuted groups such as religious or ethnic minorities because they face persecution from both other citizens and their government, which also does not offer them protection.
Though Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board does not currently track the number of asylum claims based persecution due to sexual orientation, officials say roughly half of the Russians who seek asylum in Canada each year — between 140 and 225 people — are accepted.
Under Russia's new antigay legislation, individuals who break the law by holding LGBT Pride events or providing information to minors about LGBT issues would face fines of up to 5,000 rubles ($156), with foreigners facing a jail sentence of 15 days and deportation. Companies and media organizations could be fined up to 1 million rubles ($31,000) and would face suspension of their activities for up to 90 days.
Additionally, a well-known group of Russian neo-Nazis has been luring gay teens in the country with personal ads on gay dating websites, then beating them, humiliating them, and forcing them to come out on video.
Russian authorities have either ignored or condoned the antigay violence.

Bitcoin pioneer calls for regulatory guidance from EU
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Europe should update its laws to reflect the rise of digital currencies, the head of a bitcoin start-up said, after a successful U.S. auction of bitcoins was seen as a sign of their broadening appeal.
The virtual currency has come under the scrutiny of regulators in both the United States and Europe following a series of high-profile scandals such as the bankruptcy of Tokyo-based bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox.
But authorities such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have not yet taken a uniform approach to regulating the nascent digital currency, and have limited themselves to issuing warnings about its risks for investors.
"One of the challenges is that without clear guidance from the EU, from the UK, it will limit industry development," said Jeremy Allaire, head of Circle, a bitcoin consumer finance company that allows people to use and store bitcoins online.
"Unless they have a clear view of where does this (bitcoin) fit, how do we know what the rules are?" he said in an interview with Reuters.
Launched in 2009, bitcoin offers a way for people to conduct transactions over the Internet. Its backers say its anonymity - users do not need to reveal any card or financial details when making payments - protects people from fraud. Critics say this also makes it easier to commit crimes like buying illegal drugs online.
Last October U.S. authorities seized 144,000 bitcoins online in a raid on Silk Road, an Internet black-market bazaar that authorities said had been used for illegal drug transactions. Some of those bitcoins were auctioned off last week.
Allaire said bitcoins could be regulated in the same way as other payment services such as PayPal, with strict consumer protection safeguards so people would feel safer using them.
The EU's law regulating payment services should be updated to reflect the use of bitcoins, he added.
Bitcoin supporters maintain that digital currencies are set to expand further and that as they become more mainstream the price volatility and scams that have so far bedevilled them will decrease.
In June online travel agency Expedia began accepting bitcoins as a form of payment.
"As bigger exchanges get built and you see it move from retail and speculative investors to more traditional institutional investors ... you'll see greater price stability," said Allaire.
Last week's auction of almost 30,000 bitcoins by the U.S. law enforcement authorities attracted bids from several high-profile investors, such as U.S. investment firm Pantera Capital.
The auction was won by one bidder, Silicon Valley investor Tim Draper, who called it a vote of confidence by the U.S. government in the nascent crypto-currency.
Allaire said authorities on both sides of the Atlantic were starting to come to terms with the rise of digital currency after initially shunning it.
"A number of these regulatory bodies have started to analyse it and look at the risks," he said. "Most scratched their heads at the beginning and said 'do I need to care about this? I just want it to go away.'"

NEW YORK (AP) — Federal agents have arrested dozens of suspected mobsters in multiple investigations of New York's organized crime families.
The FBI says most of the arrests were made Thursday morning throughout New York City, in New Jersey and New England. Charges include murder, extortion and narcotics trafficking.
Attorney General Eric Holder and other officials were expected to discuss the cases later Thursday at a news conference in Brooklyn.
The takedown was another blow to New York's five Mafia crime families. Federal probes aided by mob turncoats have decimated the families' ranks and resulted in lengthy prison terms for several leaders.

Parkland's CEO to step aside in December
Parkland Memorial Hospital will soon have new leadership. The Dallas hospital's Board of Managers decided on Tuesday to move Ron Anderson, MD, to a new position at the end of his term as CEO. Anderson's current contract ends Dec. 31. In a statement, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins, the county's top elected official, said he appreciated Anderson's decades of experience to Parkland and the medical. "The time has come for new leadership and a decisive cultural shift at this institution," Jenkins said. "That said, no one knows more about public health than Dr. Anderson. We support the Parkland Board of Managers' decision to transition Dr. Anderson in such a way that honors his service while maximizing his strengths during this critical chapter for the hospital." The hospital has been under scrutiny since federal investigators found safety violations during an unannounced inspection in July. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services threatened to pull the hospital's Medicare funding unless the problems were fixed.

I'm 14 (going into high school, here) and am a 34A. It SUCKS. Yesterday my cousin even called me flat chested...ugh! I always wonder about this, though! I feel like it makes them smaller...but I guess I'm SUPPOSED to be tiny... >.<

I am in the same situation, I dont have a big chest and wonder almost everyday if they are growing. I just use the hand cup test but then my friend said you could be growing but so could your hands. But I think looking at them in the mirror and seeing if things feel tighter may give a good idea if you are getting bigger.

Agency self-promos are typically wacky or funny in hopes of demonstrating the agency's creativity to prospective clients. But you know something? To a client who belongs in her job, creativity is meaningless unless that creativity translates into success for her brand.
That's why I love this campaign for Fitzroy in Amsterdam. It won't make anyone laugh, but it does something more useful than that. It tells us that Fitzroy's clients adore their agency for reasons beyond the ego boost that comes from spending time around tattoos and exposed brick.
And the agency's creativity is demonstrated in any case, because, to me, presenting the old-school client testimonial in the context of a fashion spread is nothing short of inspired. (And flattering your clients by treating them as models can't hurt, either.)

Hester will be hugely missed – really?
Convulsions of grief – nay, outraged anger – were being felt all across the City yesterday at the shock news that Stephen Hester has been ousted as chief executive of Royal Bank of Scotland. More than £1.5bn was wiped off the value of the taxpayers' stake in RBS in dismayed reaction to this "politically motivated" departure.
Who's going to do the job now, it was asked in despair of the seemingly inexplicable defenestration of Britain's greatest living banker? OK, I made that last bit up, but by the time you got through reading all the hagiographies written about Mr Hester – the man who had stoically taken on the toughest job in banking and despite all the political meddling, was succeeding just as promised – you might well think he was that. And the boy Osborne should want to sack this towering colossus of the banking world?
While the massed ranks of City opinion formers fall for the PR spin, the rest of us can contemplate the situation with more equanimity. In fact, Mr Hester is not some corporate god without who RBS cannot possibly be re-privatised. Admittedly, he had a key role in turning around Abbey National, and then selling it to Santander, but he's basically just an investment banker by background and it was never entirely clear he was the right man for the job.
In any case, his departure will make no difference what so ever to RBS's chances of privatisation. The fact of the matter is that it is now nearly five years since Mr Hester was parachuted in, and you can hardly blame the politicians, or indeed the taxpayers who sunk the thick end of £40bn into RBS for getting frustrated.
RBS was in a shocking state when he took over, but progress has been painfully slow, and despite being predominantly state owned, RBS has struggled to fulfill its proper purpose of extending credit to the UK economy. In the circumstances, he's done a great job, people say. Maybe so, but regrettably, it's not good enough.
In the scheme of things, Mr Hester's departure is of no importance. Within a year, the waters will have closed over his head and everyone will struggle to remember even who he was. This is the sad fate of all but the most outstanding, or infamous, of corporate bosses.
I can't agree that Osborne has made a terrible mistake. Hester was appointed by the last government, so there is no reason he should feel any sense of loyalty. As an investment proposition, RBS is plainly going nowhere as things stand, and it really does need a new broom and a new course.
That's not to say Hester doesn't deserve sympathy, or deny that the nature of the task may bave been all but impossible from the start, but cruel though it is to say it, it is for trying and failing that he will be remembered, not for being unfairly ousted for political purposes.
