Humanitarian mine and ordnance clearance
Humanitarian mine and ordnance clearance in Cambodia
© picture-alliance/dpa
Landmines and unexploded ordnance kill thousands of people around the world each year. Germany is actively working for the prohibition of anti-personnel mines. The Federal Foreign Office supports humanitarian mine and ordnance clearance projects around the world and has been one of the foremost international donors in this field for many years.
In partnership with experienced organisations on the ground, the German Government helps countries clear mines, cluster munitions and unexploded ordnance, above all when such contamination causes humanitarian and/or social and economic problems for local communities. The aim of this aid is not just to help reduce poverty and promote development but also and most importantly to ensure people's physical safety and alleviate suffering. Victim assistance projects in particular serve this aim. The aid is also intended to help the countries concerned fulfil their obligations under the Ottawa Convention on Anti-Personnel Mines, the Oslo Convention on Cluster Munitions and the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons.
The worldwide implementation of these Conventions remains one of the German Government's major aims. In this way, we hope to make a lasting contribution towards ensuring that anti-personnel mines and cluster munitions will not be deployed in the future and will thus no longer pose a threat.
Locating and clearing mines and unexploded ordnance remains a dangerous, expensive and time-consuming process. The Federal Foreign Office is actively campaigning for the prohibition of anti-personnel mines and cluster munitions, and currently also supports 45 projects in 28 countries in the field of mine and ordnance clearance.
Tremendous efforts undertaken by the international community mean that considerable headway has been made in tackling the landmine problem around the world. These and the entry into force on 1 August 2010 of the Convention on Cluster Munitions have brought us closer to a world free of anti-personnel mines and cluster munitions.
The experience of the past twenty years has shown that the total contaminated area is smaller than originally estimated. The United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) thus believes that the problem can be solved in years rather than in decades.
Mission possible – the battle against landmines is winnable
Albania, Kosovo and Croatia serve as encouraging examples. Contrary to expectations, the number of victims in these countries has fallen steeply within a relatively short period. This unexpectedly positive development is due not only to more reliable analysis and more efficient clearing techniques but also to years of tireless effort by a host of NGOs as well as the Parties to the Ottawa Convention and the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
In many countries, however, explosive remnants of war (landmines, unexploded ordnance and cluster munitions) continue to cause great suffering. Landmines and cluster munitions, which have in some cases lain buried for decades, are a particular problem in many fragile post-conflict societies with non-existent or inadequate health care systems. Good orthopaedic and psycho-social treatment for the victims is the exception rather than the rule. In severely contaminated areas, simply stepping off hard-surfaced roads is a risk to life and limb. The fear of landmines, unexploded ordnance and cluster munitions – justified in some cases and unjustified in others – also adversely affects the life of whole communities, making people too afraid to use roads or till and harvest their fields.
Most landmines, unexploded ordnance and cluster munitions have been laid or deployed indiscriminately and without reliable documentation. Since the precise location and extent of the contaminated areas are usually unknown, it is unfortunately often only when accidents happen that the hidden danger is revealed.
In many countries such as Afghanistan, Cambodia, Colombia, Laos and Viet Nam, unexploded or abandoned ordnance and cluster munitions today cause more casualties than landmines. The clearance programmes funded by the Federal Foreign Office take this fact into account. These programmes aim to create a safe environment for the local population by tackling all three threats – landmines, unexploded ordnance and cluster munitions – at once.
Germany is a party to the Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed to Be Excessively Injurious or to Have Indiscriminate Effects (United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons), the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction (Ottawa Convention) and the Convention on Cluster Munitions, and is campaigning strongly for these Conventions to be implemented and become universal in scope.
Well into the 1990s, anti-personnel mines were considered indispensable by many armed forces, including those in democratic countries. Up till then such weapons were found in practically every country's arsenal and during the Cold War neither the public at large nor the politicians had any doubts about their legality. There were virtually no restrictions on global trade in mines, which were deployed mostly in internal conflicts by many state and non-state actors without any scruples or thought for the long-term humanitarian consequences.
Together with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, from the mid-1990s onwards the German Government pushed hard for a ban on anti-personnel mines and played a leading role in the drafting and implementation of the Ottawa Convention. The unilateral announcement in 1996 that Germany would no longer deploy anti-personnel mines gave a further boost to the international negotiation process.
Following the deployment of cluster munitions in the Middle East in summer 2006, there were calls for a ban on these munitions. The German Government was aware early on that the deployment of cluster munitions puts the civilian population in particular at risk, not least because certain types are known to have a high dud rate. We therefore supported the negotiating process on cluster munitions from the start. The aim was to ensure better protection for the civilian population from the hazards associated with these weapons and thereby contribute to the further development of international humanitarian law.
The Oslo Process on Cluster Munitions initiated by Norway outside the UN context in February 2007 produced the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which was signed by 94 countries (including Germany) in Oslo on 3 December 2008 and entered into force on 1 August 2010.
As well as participating in these campaigns, the German Government has for many years now made large sums available for humanitarian mine and ordnance clearance. Since 1992 it has provided some 235 million euros for such projects in 42 different countries. In 2013 alone the Federal Foreign Office spent 14.9 million euros on clearance projects in 22 countries, making a major contribution to eliminating the problem.
Federal Foreign Office aid projects
Germany has become a key player in the field of humanitarian mine and ordnance clearance and, as one of the world's biggest and most reliable donors, ensures that it does justice to its highly visible role in the implementation and universalisation of the Ottawa and Cluster Munitions Conventions and the UN Conventional Weapons Convention. In 2013, Germany provided some 20 million US dollars of funding, putting it at 7th place in the donor rankings.
The German Government supports humanitarian clearance projects around the world and has made available roughly 250 million euros for projects in 45 countries since 1992.
Clearance, awareness and victim assistance projects are funded in places where landmines and unexploded ordnance (including cluster munitions) pose a humanitarian problem and/or hinder a country's social and economic development – for example in Afghanistan, Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans, and central and south-east Asia.
The Federal Foreign Office will make available almost 20 million euros for humanitarian clearance projects in 2014.
The victim assistance projects supported by the Federal Foreign Office seek to provide physical and psychological treatment for victims and legal advice for them and their families. Measures for the social and economic integration of victims and their families into society fall within the remit of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). This Ministry provided projects with those aims with some 5.7 million euros between 2003 and 2011. The Federal Foreign Office made available some 4.2 million euros for 25 projects falling within its remit (including two mine awareness projects in Libya) between 2008 and 2013. A total of 1.6 million euros were provided by the Federal Foreign Office and the BMZ for victim assistance and awareness projects in 2013. The German Government has thus fulfilled the pledge it made at the Second Review Conference of the Ottawa Convention in Cartagena in 2010 to enhance its funding of victim assistance projects.
Against the backdrop of decreasing global funds for humanitarian demining and budget constraints, our project funding is geared to the following parameters:
- making clearance operations more efficient and effective;
- creating sustainable local clearance and management capacities.

Looking ahead
For the German Government it remains a major priority to see the Ottawa, Cluster Munitions and UN Conventional Weapons Conventions implemented worldwide. In this way, we hope to make a lasting contribution towards ensuring that anti-personnel mines and cluster munitions will not be deployed in the future and will thus no longer pose a threat.
Although much has been achieved in the battle against anti-personnel mines since the 1990s and much will be achieved in the battle against cluster munitions over the years to come, many countries are unlikely to be able to fulfil the obligations they have assumed under these Conventions on schedule, especially as regards the clearance of suspected contaminated areas. Over the years ahead these countries will therefore still need appropriate international support.
In addition to funding bilateral projects, the Federal Foreign Office will continue to work with all relevant international organisations concerned with humanitarian mine and ordnance clearance. Its main partners here are the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) in New York, which has been given a coordinating role within the United Nations; the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP); the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL); the Cluster Munitions Coalition (CMC); and the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD).

Martin Professional has committed further resources to the Maxxyz lighting console by adding programmers to the Maxxyz software development team. The move is in response to the console's increased demand as a professional lighting console for stage, studio and events, as well as the further incorporation of networking and integration functions.
The new programmers, located at R&D International in Belgium, are technical software engineers experienced in hardware control through real-time applicational software. The increase in resources will allow the design team to more easily update individual system modules without affecting other modules. Essentially, this permits the team to produce software updates more quickly while concentrating on other key areas such as networking between consoles and other devices like the Maxxyz Tablet Remote; integration between the Maxxyz and Martin's new media server, Maxedia; multi-user environments and more.

Environmentalist say the Louisiana coast is being affected more than anywhere else on earth by climate change, and that saving the Amazon rainforest could slow down the process.
But there are other reasons the Amazon needs to be saved, including the medicinal knowledge of the indigenous people, and the vast pharmaceutical storehouse that grows there.
Doctor Mark Plotkin is the President of the Amazon Conservation Team and a native New Orleanian, who has spent years working in the Amazon and he is in town for a fundraiser called the Feast for the Forest.
The Feast for the Forest is Tuesday night, October 1, at the new Tableau restaurant, 916 Saint Peter St. overlooking Jackson Square. It's from 6 pm until 9 pm.

MONTGOMERY — The Alabama High School Athletic Association's Central Board of Control has voted to expand the current six-class system for member schools, adding a seventh class for the very largest high schools.
The motion passed unanimously at the board's meeting Wednesday morning at AHSAA headquarters in suburban Montgomery.
The biennial reclassification has significant impacts on several local teams. The big news comes for Pinson Valley and Center Point, both of which move up to 6A. Corner and Dora also make the jump to 5A from 4A. Fultondale, as anticipated, advances to 3A.
Mortimer Jordan and Hayden remain in Class 5A, and Locust Fork stays in 4A.
AHSAA Executive Director Steve Savarese will hold a press conference later Wednesday afternoon to discuss the new classifications.
This is a developing story; we'll have updates as warranted.

Passionate about guitar music? If so, Penn State's Eisenhower Auditorium should be your destination Friday evening.
Three-time Grammy Award winner and classical virtuoso Sharon Isbin, named by Boston magazine as "the pre-eminent guitarist of our time," teams with innovative American jazzman Stanley Jordan and Brazilian jazz master Romero Lubambo to perform classical, jazz and Brazilian music in Guitar Passions at 7:30 p.m. Jan 31 in Eisenhower.
The Center for the Performing Arts presentation, inspired by the popular album Sharon Isbin & Friends: Guitar Passions, utilizes a mix of acoustic and electric guitars and features works by composers such as Joaquin Rodrigo, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Isaac Albéniz, Gentil Montaña, Quique Sinesi, Ariel Ramírez and Alfredo Vianna.
Tickets are still available for the concert.
Hear my interview with Isbin, which includes a sample of music from the Guitar Passions CD.
Read my feature article about the Guitar Passions musicians.
The director of guitar studies at New York City's Juilliard School, Isbin has recorded more than 25 albums of music ranging from Baroque and Spanish/Latin to crossover and jazz-fusion. A writer for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution called the Minneapolis native "the Monet of the classical guitar."
"Let me just say guitar is not an easy instrument," Jordan said. "It's one of the easiest instruments to pick up. To master it, it's a lifetime. And what's amazing about Sharon is just her mastery of the guitar."
Jordan has enjoyed critical and commercial success for almost three decades. The Princeton University graduate, often described as a musical chameleon, performs reinventions of classical masterpieces, soulful explorations of pop-rock hits, straight-ahead jazz and ultramodern improvisations.
In Magic Touch, his 1985 debut album, the Chicago native introduced the world to his extraordinary tapping technique, in which he plays the guitar fretboard like a piano keyboard.
"By doing so, he's able to achieve a remarkable quality of sound, and diversity of counterpoint and musical inflection that is very different than if he were simply using a pick or strumming," Isbin said. "You look at it, and you really can't figure out what he's doing. It's so awesome."
Lubambo, called an "ebullient acoustic guitarist" by a JazzTimes reviewer, left Rio de Janeiro for the United States in 1985. He uses the styles and rhythms of his native Brazil, plus a fluency in American jazz traditions, to forge a distinctive style.
"Romero has a wonderful imagination," Isbin said. "So when he takes the instrument and gives it Brazilian flavor and a bossa nova beat, you're intoxicated."
Isbin, Lubambo and company tour manager Marya Glur are scheduled to speak at Artistic Viewpoints, an informal moderated discussion that begins one hour before the concert, in Eisenhower. Artistic Viewpoints often fills to capacity, so seating is available on a first-arrival basis.

I came to the Giuliani campaign late for round two. I arrived at the end of July, 1993. I was working prior to that as Director of Corporate Communications for EMI Records. Anyone who thinks politics is a jungle should try working in the recording industry. Once again I took the job of heading up the Surrogate Speakers Bureau, as I had done in 1989 and as my brother had done for candidate Cuomo in 1982. It required good organizational skills and a cool head. Attributes my brother had in measure and I like to think I possessed.
From the day I started there was grumbling about the New York Times. While it's true that the major newspaper in any city can make or break a candidate if it wants, there is, as I have said, nothing like the New York Times. Its influence has been waning and it is not quite the oracle it once was, but it can still command an audience or create conversation like no other media outlet in this country.
The Times could create candidates or destroy them on their editorial page. Highly unusual, however, was for the Times to take a position in its news coverage. There were no Rudy lovers on the news staff or editorial board of the Times. To the contrary, most were Giuliani haters. No news, of course, in any of this to the RWG campaign. As the city's first black mayor, David Dinkins could have tortured cats during his daily press avails and the Times would have found some healing message in it. We had the NY Post on our side, which was some consolation, and we knew we could never get the Times' endorsement, but it became increasingly clear that the feelings of the editorial page were spilling over with ever increasing fervor onto the news pages. And that for us was dangerous. The Times not endorsing you, fine. It would help and be a game changer if they did, but nothing was predicated on it. The Times actively trying to fuck you on the front page, however, that was something that would kill your campaign.
I am usually slow to come to the charge of "the liberal media." There was a liberal media bias in news coverage prior to the advent of conservative talk radio. Yea, I believe that. But nothing that affected seriously one's understanding of events. For every few Eric Sevareid we had a Howard K. Smith. And that was fine. We were always outnumbered but it was never about parity it was about the quality of the ideas. And on that front we were always ahead.
But again, it's different when it's the NY Times. You can't have the Times knifing you day in and day out. Only Richard Nixon could withstand something like that. So it was, that it became increasingly clear that Summer and Fall that the Times' reporter covering the Giuliani campaign really had it out for us. It wasn't just that Catherine S. Manegold wanted Rudy to lose, she very much wanted Dinkins to win. And every day it was becoming clearer that her coverage of our campaign was less news and more opinion. Again, fine, give her an analysis slot like Sam Roberts had, but not the daily beat reporter of our campaign. That's just death to a candidate. As a candidate or press secretary you want to have as good a relationship with the press as possible. It's popular now to think Rudy always had a bad press relationship. Not true. Ask those reporters who covered him in 93 if they thought he and the campaign were open and accessible. You would get a very different impression from the bunker mentality that I hear existed in 2007 & 08.
So every day we would read Catherine S. Manegold and shake our heads. I had no role in any of this but her pieces got me pissed just the same for their bias. As for the people who did have a role in this - the press operation - they were increasingly unsure what to do about it. There was a faction that early on said confront Oreskes - Michael Oreskes, the City Editor and Manegold's boss. There were those who said, screw it; we just keep plugging away and responding hard to her attacks and misstatements in the paper. Those who wanted to just keep going won out for awhile. Finally, it became intolerable. A meeting was held where Peter Powers, Ray Harding, David Garth, Richard Bryers (the campaign press secretary) and maybe one or two others decided that they had no choice but to confront Oreskes.
It's an extremely uncommon thing for a campaign to ask a newspaper to remove its reporter. Yea, lots of campaigns grouse about the coverage they receive but almost none go to the next step and seek a reporter's removal. Well Oreskes was contacted and a meeting set-up.
You might think meetings like this are easy to obtain. You'd be wrong. Editors know that campaigns are always pissed about something their reporter has written and are generally loathe to have this type of meeting. It gives the appearance that they're not backing up their reporters to even consent to hear the complaints. Oreskes was very concerned that as few people know about this meeting as possible. He said that if he ended up having to take some action he did not want a lot of people to know the meeting had taken place.
That was a condition for the meeting; that the campaign treat this as a major confidence and withhold knowledge of it to as few as possible. I would never have known about this meeting were it not for Ray. The mere fact that he had consented to the meeting at all lead people in the campaign to believe that he knew there was a problem with Catherine Manegold's reporting.
I knew all these facts at the time from Ray, but I am not clear on the details now. I know Ray was at the meeting. I don't think Garth was. After that, could have been Peter, Fran Reiter, Rich Bryers or others. I just don't remember. It could have been Ray alone, I just don't remember. Ray had asked Bryers and Ken Frydman, a press aide, to compile a folder with Manegold's most egregious articles, which they did. That folder served as the basis of the meeting.
Ray told me that he made his case to Oreskes that these articles went beyond mere disagreement or interpretation of style. He pointed out example after example of bias and clear misstatement. He had them highlighted and refutations prepared as to their inaccuracy or bad faith. I saw the articles at the time that made up that file. I was not a neutral observer, but I found it a pretty compelling case. Looking at the offending articles one might be mislead by the headlines which were often straight or even friendly. But of course reporters don't ordinarily write their story's headlines so that was not dispositive of the article's content.
In any case, Oreskes said he'd think about it, talk to Manegold and get back to them. Within a week he called back to say that, yes, one or two things may not have been to the standards of the Times, but on the whole he saw no pattern of bias. We were dejected. Ray was not. He said he saw or heard something in Oreskes' answer that gave him hope. Ray explained to me that there was very little chance he would just pull her after we complained even if Oreskes had completely agreed with us. He said let's wait and see what happens. Ray further thought he had made a very convincing case and he wasn't buying that Oreskes saw no merit in it.
Sure enough other City Room reporters started covering Rudy and Catherine Manegold started doing more analysis and wrap-up pieces. Ray had been right. Oreskes did see merit in the case that had been presented. He, being the face of the Times, couldn't just capitulate. It had to be gradual. Finally we started to get a fair shake in how the campaign was portrayed on a daily basis. The Times of course endorsed Dinkins. I had reason to reread that endorsement recently. It's pretty pathetic. Rudy is dangerous and unstable. Dinkins is inept but a healer. There was a tiny hope after Koch and Wagner endorsed Rudy that the Times might come around. But in the end, black mayor, liberal Jewish paper - not gonna happen.
As for Catherine Manegold? The Times didn't want to do anything to her during the election that would appear to validate our complaints. Immediately after the election Catherine Manegold was reassigned to the national desk. The New York Times is not stupid. They knew there wasn't much of a chance of her having any access in Rudy Giuliani's City Hall. Leaving her on the City Desk, even as a non-City Hall reporter would not have been viewed favorably by the new administration. I have no idea why they told her she was being reassigned. But from our end, we took credit for that.

A family in Sumner County escaped a fast-moving fire on Wednesday morning but lost their home and holiday gifts.
The fire occurred in the 2200 block of Highway 25 in Cottontown, TN. Investigators said the fire possibly started in the living room, near their Christmas tree.
Joshua Anders, his wife and three children call it home.
"It's really not real to me yet. I have three kids and one on the way. My wife's eight months pregnant," said Anders.
The couple's 4-year-old daughter spotted smoke inside the family's home and alerted her mother. She then ran outside and flagged down a passing Sumner County deputy.
"Apparently she was watching it and was just like, 'Mommy, mommy, there's a fire. There's a fire,'" said Anders.
Firefighters tried but could not save much, and for now cannot pinpoint a cause.
"I'm racking my brain trying to figure it out. The Christmas tree is the only thing I can think of," said Anders.
The family lost clothing, memories and birthday presents that their 4-year-old daughter just opened on Tuesday.
"Everything she just opened burned up in the flames," said Anders.
Their Christmas presents are suddenly gone too. It's a tough loss for a family holding tight to perspective.
"All this stuff can be replaced. We're not going to identify bodies and that's all. I'm just thankful for that. I'm thankful they're alive," said Audrey Jones, Anders' mother-in-law.
The American Red Cross is assisting the family.
An account to help Tiffany Anders has been set up. Make donations to benefit Tiffany Anders at any Volunteer State Bank location.

EXPOSIÇÃO SONHOS De Raimundo Rodriguez
Tal qual o inseto, que pela ação casual da natureza se encontra preso ao âmbar e que por este motivo, testemunha a vida ancestral da Terra, o artista simbolicamente utiliza o betume, verniz amarronzado, que age fornecendo uma fina cobertura atemporal. Assim, retira o processo de sacralização dos objetos e destroços que são diariamente despejados no corpo calejado das cidades pós- modernas.
New Maracana Stadium
This is a famous place towatch the Brazilian Soccer Games during the World Cup
Here's your soundtrack. Okay, maybe they're not exactly brazillian but their music is awesome and their live shows legendary.
Now, Brazil covers almost half of South America and its Amazon rainforest is the world's largest jungle... which is rapidly getting cut down. The country is basically one giant botanical garden with some bangin' cities on its edges.
Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.
Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China. These four were labeled the world's fastest developing large economies in the year 2001.
Brazil is known for three things: amazingly beautiful women, carnival, and Pele -- King of Football, Athlete of the Century, football ambassador of the world and a declared national treasure.
Brazillians can tell foreigners a mile away, by the way their hips move. Samba is built into the soul of brazil and carnival is when it bursts out into twenty-four hour undying explosions of sound on every street.
This picture of mask diving at the Taipus reefs makes me shed hot and salty tears all over my calendar, which is set on "January" right now.

WESTWEGO, La. – Ten days before the NBA draft, Monty Williams still can't catch a break.
Not that he cares. He's enjoying the process of scouting players before this year's draft on June 28.
So, when asked – again – if the Hornets had "narrowed" down who they're taking at No. 1, Williams broke out his comedy routine.
"That's original man," said Williams, the Hornets' third-year coach. "It's like…did Seinfeld write this stuff."
Williams conducted the franchise's second day of pre-draft workouts Monday, hosting the 10th and 11th players this offseason in for interviews.
But he's not so tired of the process that he wishes June 28 were tomorrow.
"I'm enjoying this process really," Williams said. "You get to see a number of players. You don't want to rush it because you don't want to make a crazy decision. It doesn't bother me either way. I just think it's part of the process. It's not a bad thing."
Of course, it helps when you have the No. 1 pick.
"That process has been pretty cool," Williams said. "It's good for everybody – you guys, the city, the state. It's definitely good for our team so I'm really enjoying that process."

Marchers commemorate the 50th anniversary of The March on Washington on Agust 24, 2103, in Washington, DC. During the March in 1963, civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., gave his "I Have a Dream" speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial (rear). "This is not a time for nostalgic commemoration... The task is not done. The journey is not complete. We can and we must do more," said King's son Martin Luther King III, speaking from the precise spot where his father delivered one of American history's greatest speeches. AFP Photo/Paul J.

Is there a way to load a flash app within QT for maemo? Webkit ? QAxWidget? Browser?
Thank you,
Is there a way to load a flash app within QT for maemo? Webkit ? QAxWidget? Browser?
Thank you,
WebKit supports loading Gecko plugins and there is adobe-flashplayer package containing flash plugin used by MicorB.
Check out this sample application
Code:#include <QtGui> #include <QtWebKit> int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { QApplication app(argc, argv); QWebView view; view.settings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, true); view.load(QUrl("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMU0tzLwhbE")); view.show(); return app.exec(); }
No, you don't need to install any extra package. Qt Webkit makes use of Mozzilla plugins, and flash is shipped with the device.

I just tried visiting my target page using the web browser on my phone and it works. But when I try visiting it using QWebview in my application I just get a symbol that looks like a lego box with a quesiton mark on it. Any suggesstion?
I looked at another nokia forumn post by symbianyucca and here is what he says,
"You can not use Flash-plug-in in any other app than those that have Nokia vendor UID with their process, thus it is only usable in normal Browser (propably not available in any 3rd party browser) as well as in WRT Widget applications."
link to thread - http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...sh-lite-plugin
For the guys this is working for, did u already get your app approved and signed by nokia?
UNBELIEVABLE!!! Tks man, that did the trick so much more easier than I expected!!!

Note on Chair Informed Cohen Milstein Head of His Expulsion From Firm
Posted Nov 11, 2008 6:38 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Although he was then chairman of the firm, Michael Hausfeld apparently didn't even know that his fellow partners at Cohen Milstein Hausfeld & Toll were holding a vote Nov. 6 about whether to expel a partner.
But after the vote, Bloomberg reports, a note on Hausfeld's chair put him in the loop: He himself was no longer a member of the firm, it said.
The expulsion is forcing a split in the approximately 65-lawyer national plaintiffs litigation boutique at which Hausfeld, 62, has worked since 1971. He was the top antitrust lawyer at Cohen Milstein, and firm attorneys must now decide whether to stay or follow Hausfeld out the door, according to the news agency. Although the situation isn't yet definite, it is expected that some 25 attorneys will follow him. (There are about 28 lawyers in Cohen Milstein's antitrust group.)
As discussed in an earlier ABAJournal.com post, Hausfeld has already announced that he will open a new law firm under his own name. He is now working temporarily at Venable, in Washington, D.C., as he makes arrangements to open his new office there, Bloomberg notes.
His new firm will also have an office in London, Hausfeld tells the Wall Street Journal Law Blog.
The new Hausfeld firm is expected to focus its practice on antitrust law, international human rights, products liability and securities matters.
Although it might seem like a bad time to start a new law firm, given the current economic conditions, there is plenty of work for those in the right practice areas, Hausfeld told Law Blog:
"We've been getting increasing inquires by clients that have been injured by cartels and who are seeking to have us represent them in recoveries, not just in the United States, but in Europe, Asia, parts of Africa and Latin America. It's an extremely exciting time. We're pushing the limits of the law in terms of private enforcement and mass redress."
Unspecified conflict between Hausfeld and other Cohen Milstein partners preceded the expulsion vote.

The Chicago White Sox have been making do at third base over the last few games because Brent Morel was suffering from back trouble.
Tuesday, the team finally acknowledged they had to make a move. From a team press release:
Prior to tonight's game vs. Minnesota, the Chicago White Sox placed third baseman Brent Morel on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to May 18) with a lumbar back strain and agreed to terms on a one-year contract with infielder Orlando Hudson covering the remainder of the 2012 season.
At the time he was released last week by the San Diego Padres, Hudson was hitting poorly: .211/.260/.317 in 123 at-bats, although he was leading the National League (and still is, actually) in triples with five.
It's not entirely clear what the White Sox intend to do with Hudson. He has never played anywhere in the field but second base in his major league career. The White Sox' regular second baseman, Gordon Beckham, played third base in his rookie season in 2009, but not since. They could make that swap; their other choice is to continue with Eduardo Escobar and/or Brent Lillibridge at third base. None of those players is hitting very well this year, yet the White Sox sit at .500, just 2½ games out of first place in the AL Central, so something must be working.
For more on the White Sox, please visit South Side Sox and SB Nation Chicago.

When Karen Vuranch's Coal Culture class met for the first time last Monday, she asked her Concord University students whether they had any historic connection with coal mines. Twenty-three of 25 hands shot up.
But when she asked how many currently have a connection to mining, only two raised their hands.
"Whether or not we are still involved with coal, it is still the history of this community and it defines us as a people. And so exploring it helps us to understand who we are, where we've been and where we're going," said Vuranch, a storyteller, actress and writer who has taught Theater and Appalachian Studies at Concord for 18 years. She has spent her life researching coal history.
This evening, she kicks off a series of lectures and performances about southern West Virginia's coal culture at the Erma Byrd Higher Education Center in Beaver.
The Coal Heritage Public Lecture Series, now in its fourth year, presents four angles on coal heritage on the first Monday of every month through May. Labor history, natural gas, mountain music and balancing industry and environment will be explored through academic talks and performances.
The series began as a private class for Concord students, but the interest was so great that Vuranch believed the public might well be interested, too. The lectures will be attended by students and are also open to community members.
"You have this university right in your backyards, and there are wonderful, exciting things going on. So let's bring the community in so they can be a part of it, too," she said.
Vuranch says the community, including the Raleigh County Historical Society, has been very supportive in years past.
The lectures, which draw 50 people on average, have spawned some dynamic discussions.
"These lectures and performances (...) give us a chance to work together as a community as well as give people a new opportunity to learn and talk and share," said Vuranch.
An especially "magical" night unfolded last year when key players from the late-1960's black lung movement attended the lectures. These included Dr. Donald Rasmussen, a Beckley pulmonary specialist who helps miners with breathing trouble, and Craig Robinson, a community organizer who helped galvanize the miners' health movement in southern West Virginia.
"They just so happened to show up with Ken Hechler. It was such a dynamic conversation," said Vuranch. Hechler helped write federal black lung legislation, an effort that began at the grassroots level in West Virginia.
To kick off the series, Vuranch will do a first-person performance as Mother Jones, a labor organizer who Vuranch has been portraying for years.
This year, discussions of the environment and natural gas will be incorporated into the lectures. Vuranch admits that these are hot button issues for many West Virginians, but she's no stranger to moderating such conversations.
"I have all those complications and controversies in the classroom. I have to be really careful and I try not to be too political myself and keep it as neutral as I can. But it's hard because people do get fairly passionate," she said.
"How do we balance industry and the environment? That's very controversial stuff in West Virginia. These are issues we face all the time."
The lecture details are as follows:
— Feb. 4, "Mother Jones: Miner's Angel" — Vuranch performs as renowned labor organizer Mother Jones
— March 4, "Balancing Industry and the Environment" — with Mike King from the Morris Creek Watershed
— April 1, "Coal and Natural Gas: The geology and extraction of a vital resource" — with Dr. Dave Matchen of Concord University
— May 6, "Mountain Music, Mountain Struggle" — with singer Elaine Purkey
All lectures begin at 7 p.m. in the small auditorium right off the central atrium at the Erma Byrd Center, 300 University Drive, Beaver.
The Coal Heritage Highway Authority and Concord University are co-sponsors for the lectures.

Thread: Joke
Packers and Vikings
Three Viking fans and three Packer fans are traveling by train to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. At the station, the three Packer fans each buy tickets and watch as the three Viking fans buy only a single ticket between them. "How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a Packer fan. "Watch and you'll see," answers a Viking fan. They all board the train. The Packer fans take their respective seats but all three Viking fans cram into a restroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The Packer fans saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. After visiting the Hall of Fame, the Packer fans decide tocopy the Viking fans (as they always do) on the return trip and save some money (not wanting to be out-done by the mighty purple fans). When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Viking fans don't buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one perplexed Packer fan. "Watch and you'll see," answers a Viking fan. When they board the train the three Packer fans cram into a restroom and the three Viking fans cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the Viking fans leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the Packer fans are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please".

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) convened a meeting of investigators on September 27-28, 2005 , in Bethesda Maryland. This group of experts in immunology, pulmonology, animal models, molecular biology, mathematical modeling, HIV, TB, and other HIV-related lung infections reviewed current thinking about the roles and interactions between innate and acquired immunity in HIV-related lung infections, discussed strategies for advancing the field, and provided recommendations for future research.
The group concluded that it is important to encourage continued connection and interaction of basic scientists with clinical collaborators and especially research involving preclinical steps leading to translational and clinical research, which the group termed Transition to Translation. They emphasized the importance of the parallel and synergistic scientific approaches of reductionism and reconstructionism; both of which are essential and benefit from each other. The group stressed the need for new strategies for immune modulation to balance tissue (lung) damage versus the immune response, since either too little or too much host response to any infection can be detrimental. Lack of access to inexpensive immune modulatory agents, including biological agents and small molecules, was noted as an obstacle to progress. Another important obstacle identified was the lack of validated animal models and insufficient access to existing models, especially primate models of disease. These are very expensive and it is important to develop programs to get the most out of these valuable resources.
General Recommendations of the group include:

Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the Academic Catalog
Mark Coen, Associate Registrar
Office of the Registrar
Williston Hall 103
Wentworth Institute of Technology
Boston, MA 02115
Regular attendance at every class is expected, and anyone who fails to meet this requirement may be requested to withdraw from Wentworth. The attendance policy applies to all students. Faculty are required to take attendance in all courses. Earnest work, good conduct, and willingness to cooperate at all times with the instructors and officers of Wentworth are expected of every student.
Attendance will be monitored as follows:
- The attendance policy begins on the day the student is added to the roster and ends on the last day to withdraw from a course. Therefore, students who are registered for a class prior to the start of a semester are expected to attend class on the first day. Students who add a class after the semester starts will be evaluated for attendance beginning on the day they register for the course. As a courtesy, when a student misses 10 percent of his/her scheduled class sessions, he/she may be notified, via attendance warning or by e-mail, by the instructor (with copies sent to the instructor's department office and the advisor), that continued absenteeism may result in being withdrawn from the course. Students receiving this notice will be required to consult with their instructors and advisors. If a student misses 15 percent of his or her scheduled classes, he/she may be given a grade of WA in the course by the instructor.
- Faculty are not required to withdraw students for non-attendance. Non-attendance does not constitute withdrawing from a course.
- The instructor will use his or her discretion for all extenuating circumstances regarding attendance. It is the responsibility of the student to notify an instructor of all absences (anticipated or not) and provide documentation regarding illness or absence.
- Students who wish to contest a WA grade may follow the procedure as noted in Acadcemic Grievances. If the student is not satisfied with the resolution after that, he/she may appeal, in writing, to the Academic Appeals Committee via the Office of the Provost.
Waiting Period for a Delayed Instructor
Students must wait at least twenty minutes from the scheduled beginning class time for the instructor to arrive. After that, unless the instructor has previously notified the class to wait for a longer period, the class may leave.

3.4/5 rDev -16.3%
Vast selection of beers, mostly stocked on warm shelves. Hundreds of cheesy lagers in a vast section of imports I just glanced at. Good range of California beers from some of the more interesting breweries, and lots more from the nationally-distributed craft producers. Not so many from the midwest, southeast, or other regions.
The place is the ultimate suburban megastore handy to the interstate. Reminds me of BevMo, only twice the size and even more pretentious. Clean and spiffy with vast aisles. Like BevMo there are some California breweries you have never heard of and will soon wish you hadn't tried their products. Some oddities and lesser-known beers among the vast array.
Prices seemed to be a little lower than most places. There were guys in suits wandering around, so maybe one of them would know about beer, if you cared to ask. The company claims to stock 2,500 beers in all of its 80 stores in 13 states. It's like one of those 10-page Chinese menus-- even if they have all that stuff, how long has it been around?

This place rules. I know it's kinda the Walmart of places to buy beer, but they have the best selection and even have free beer guides. They also have tastings and classes on beer. Most importantly, they have an incredible selection and allow you to buy singles. I love that. I hate buying a whole six pack only to find that I hate the first one. I have discovered more beers as a result an feel like I am becoming a much more educated beer drinker. Not sure if that sounds funny but it's true. The prices are the best. And did I mention the selection?

When I'm in the mood to try new beers or breweries, I tend to gravitate towards Total Wine. As many of you know, they sell singles! I hate to buy 4/6 packs or even bombers when I don't know if I'm going to like a particular beer or not. So, if breweries have 12oz bottles, I'll mix and match them.
I think their selection is pretty diverse. My one pet peeve is that I prefer if they would organize beers by breweries rather than styles.
There's a walk-in cooler in the back, that is sometimes filled with goodies. You generally won't find the rarer shelf beers sitting on the shelves though. However, I have my list of boutique bottles shops that serve that purpose for me.
The prices are good. This Total Wine is very similar to the Brea store that I visit the most often.
Overall, this is a solid store.

My refrigerator needed to be restocked, and unfortunately I can't bring Beachwood BBQ's taplist. Second choice; Total Wine. Less than a mile south of the I-405, this Total Wine has the least intiminating exterior of the locations that I've been to. In other words, not nearly as massive on the outside, but inside is just as big as the others. Clean and shiny on the inside, well lit, however you could get lost in here.
Hundreds upon hundreds of beers available on the shelf, most which sit at room temperature, and a few fridges filled with cold brews. Some of the brands I haven't seen everywhere else in Orange County besides Total Wine, which gives it an edge. You can expect to find Dogfish Head, Goose Island, Coronado, Devil's Canyon, Flying Fish, Scuttlebutt, Bruton di Bruton, MOA, Martens, O'Hara's, Brewdog, Maui, Stone, Lost Abbey, and many more brands, domestic and import. The selection was impressive and displayed pricetags ($6.59 six-packs of Hoegaarden), though I did hope to find a few more pieces of glassware. I also found a few beers that I wanted to purchase which were a few weeks past their sell-by, otehrwise, for a large store, many of the beers are in fine shape.
Checkout at Total Wine is usually quick and friendly. I was treated to the latter, but not the former. I purchased a dozen individual bottles, usually no problem, but this visit the cashier had to individually punch numbers for each bottle. That caused checkout to drag on longer than it needed. Strange, because at other locations, there are alternate scanbars which are taped onto the original, scanning at the single bottle price.
I will be back the next time I'm nearby and need to restock.

Finally a Total Wine in Huntington, I don't have to drive out to the boondocks of Tustin anymore. Just wish I didn't have to wait at that horrendous light at Beach and Heil everytime, but so be it.
Walking in this Total Wine is very similar to the one in Tustin, beer is to the far left. Very good selection of domestic crafts and imports, with a wide selection of singles. Best selection overall in the city. Just wish the good Euro lagers weren't in the light, put them on a lower shelf, to protect them with their green glass. An interesting aspect here is that a lot of beers are sold with 12 oz. right next to the bombers. Why I ask, who is going to buy a bomber in that circumstance, this is clear when Sculpin 12s are $2.29, and the 22 oz. is $7.99, so inevitably the 12s get sold out, and there's still tons of bombers. Seems like a lot of wasted beer. As with the Tustin location, the beers are sorted by style and not by brewery, which is very annoying, I can't go up to say Great Divide and look through all their beers at once, I have to go through the entire American craft selection. Don't know why they changed it around, it's a lot less user friendly. At least they have an area of seasonal and special release, makes it easier to find new beers that breweries have put out. I'm getting used to the new layout, but still don't like it.
Service is fine enough. I just wish they wouldn't ask me every 5 seconds (not literally, but you know what I mean) if I need help. If I have a question I will seek them out. Checkout is not a problem, though the lines can get long, a few more cashiers wouldn't hurt.
It looks like this section of Beach along the Huntington/Westminster border is started to get clogged with beer stores. Wish it was like this on the Westside where I reside. Prices here are much better than Whole Foods especially with singles, solidly better pricing than the BevMo, but the better selection and the ability to buy singles put it miles ahead of that store. With Liquor Warehouse the 2 best beer stores in city, and this place is considerably closer, ergo it will get a lot of my business in the future.

CLOVER — About 50 mailboxes were either opened, or run over and destroyed in Clover overnight, deputies say, prompting a search for the vandals whose alleged vandalism also crossed state lines.
The roads targeted include: Parham Road, Cross Road, Ridge Road, Brandon Road and Kendrick Road in Clover. Mailboxes were also hit on Patrick Road, which is technically in Gastonia, N.C. but borders the state line.
Street signs and stop signs were also damaged, said Sheriff's Office spokesman Trent Faris.
By Thursday morning, received 50 reports of damaged mailboxes.
Deputies ask anyone who might have been a victim of the vandalized mailboxes to report it to the Sheriff's Office by calling 803-628-3056.
Anyone with information on the suspects responsible for destroying the mailboxes is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office at 803-628-3059, or Crime Stoppers of York County at 1-877-409-4321.

After suffering what looked like an ugly "upper-body injury" in Game 1, it appears one of the Boston Bruins' best forwards will be fine for Game 2 as Nathan Horton skated during practice on Saturday morning.
Horton assumed his usual spot with linemates Milan Lucic and David Krejci on Saturday -- a strong indicator that he's going to play in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final in Chicago on Saturday night.
Horton left Game 1 after aggravating a shoulder injury that he's apparently been dealing with since April. He was forced to miss most of the three overtimes in Chicago's 4-3 sudden victory on Wednesday night.
The forward is a key cog in the Bruins lineup and will be especially necessary with his team trailing a series for the first time in these playoffs because Horton, Lucic and Krejci form one of the most dangerous lines in hockey when they're going right -- as shown when Horton set up the first of Lucic's two goals in Game 1.
Horton himself has seven goals and 18 points -- second overall among all players this post-season.
