very nice Theme, glws!
Hi there,
I like this very much. Can the menu button "Folio" be relocated on the page or is it fixed dead in the center of the screen?
Can I add a line of text to the homepage like a caption?
And finally, can i link a light box with a video to the enter button – if one clicks the enter the light box opens and a youtube video plays?
Thank you
Hi, thank you for the kind words.
The menu button on the homepage can be re located but it would mean changing 2 files, the css and the javascript file css location.
if you know html then yes all this is possible, but as it stands there is no lightbox effect on the enter button. This theme uses fancybox which does allow videos within the popup as described.
Hope this helps
Okay thank you
How do I have to form a link in order to have a youtube video open with fancybox – what do I have to change (and where) if any?
Thank you
Thank you for purchasing the theme, for support could you please submit a ticket and we will try our best to help you.http://ublsupport.ticksy.com/
From now on, all support will be from our support site which can be found:http://ublsupport.ticksy.com/
You will have a faq where 90% of all needs are answered but for those who cant find the answer you can submit a ticket
Hi there,
thank you for your reply on the ticket I submitted. Unfortunately I can not reply to the ticket – simple plain text or text with an attachment (those that are allowed) nothing works.
Error message and even the text of the ticket gets wiped out.
You have my details pls provide me with en email so I can email you directly or fix the ticket system as it does not work.
Thank you
The reason for this is because you are trying to upload a html/php or javascript file, you need to zip the items before submitted.
Please try again but zipping the file first
Well I uploaded an image and a zip file as well and it did not work.
I read your reply in the ticket. If the video link in the fancybox goes already as customization then I am sorry to bug your with this. As fancybox is part of the theme i thought it is easy for you to point me in the right direction.
I did not ask for customization.
Never mind I will figure it out myself or use another theme.
Thank you
Hi Sir, we have pointed the way to doing this by giving you the code to alter and how to alter it.
The support website in question is in fact a support ticketing website which is used by most envato developers on here so if any bugs arise we can only let the website know, but i have tested the image and zip upload and all worked fine.
We support people who have problems with the theme or find bugs, for instance cant get the portfolio image to show or cant get the navigation to work correctly or how to use the background slider or there twitter feed is not showing, changing a button into a video popup is not what that homepage button was developed for and asking us to provide the code for it is in fact asking for customisation, we can customise anything for you but we would have to charge for it.
We do and did point out to you the code in which needed changing and what to change and gave a small example on what the link should look like.
Fancybox lightbox effect is not our script, it is a 3rd party script and to get it to work how you want you can see demos and explanations on:http://fancybox.net/
Again thank you and I got the message (loud and clear!).
An in fact I am a girl the SIR is too much of an honor.
Good luck with sales and have a nice day!
I am really sorry… but I have to disturb you again.
There is a gap at the top of the page viewing your demo in an iPad.http://awesomescreenshot.com/039lleie7
is this meant to be like this or is that a bug?
Thank you
Hi, thank you for pointing this out.
This is because its missing the
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0;" />
which goes just before the </head>
I have uploaded the update to the review team on themeforest and it should be available as soon as they accept it.
I copied that tag into the <head> tag but there is no change.http://awesomescreenshot.com/06allm0b5
This is only in the demo, i have tested and found its the iframe header which makes the background image have a padding of 20px.
As you can see here:
The padding does not show on my ipad1 or 2, Ive also tested on my iphone3, 4 and 5
It only happens when breaking away from the iframe header which is there on the demo.
Well thank you however i don't have an iframe header on my domain and it does have the padding.
You have two template Moot – the one html does not have it and the under construction one does have it.
My be I am wrong but if one of your template does it right (Moot responsive html) with or without the iframe but the other do not then this got nothing to do with your or my devices.
In the moment it is not working – I added the tag as you suggested in the head tag but that does not do the trick.
I dont have it on mine as you can see with my image.
Maybe when the upgrade has been approved this will fix it for you.
Also can all support tickets be on our support site.
I took the liberty to copy your css styles – that did the trick. The file in your demo has obviously changed as well.
Your demo for the Moot under construction has still the same issue.
Thank you for the help but it was more then just the missing veiwport tag.
Hi, Im glad that did the trick, the only thing we did on the css was make all images padding:0; this way no matter what happens the images are at 0 padding which by default they are anyway but for some reason it was not allowing this on the background image.
I will also check the moot theme.
Hi there,
I am trying to get a video into a blog post and have it behave responsive.
I noticed that you do not have any videos in your demo but that the js/jquery.fitvid.js script is included in the template package.
What is the class to be used to make a e-g- youtube video responsive within the template.
Or can you just place a video in your demo – then I have a look and get the code sample from there.
Thank you
Hi, for support questions could you please go to http://ublsupport.ticksy.com and we will do our best to assist you.
How many pages can you put with this theme i have a page that i want to redesign, my current page has probably 20 pages with in the page can i do that with this theme?
Hi, As this is html you can put as many pages as you like.
If i miss understood please let me know
great thanks for your quick answer. '~'

AEG, City Of Houston Close To Deal For Dynamo Stadium
Published October 26, 2007
AEG is in the "advanced stages of negotiating a public-private partnership with the city of Houston that would facilitate the construction of a 22,000-capacity, open-air facility" for the MLS Dynamo, according to Bernardo Fallas of the HOUSTON CHRONICLE. The $70-80M facility would be built near downtown Houston. The agreement would also "likely include the construction of a satellite public soccer complex and training facility" about seven miles south of the stadium. Both sides have indicated that a decision is "expected by year's end." Houston Mayor Bill White said, "There remains a large number of unresolved issues. However, both parties are optimistic that we can achieve a mutually satisfactory conclusion." Fallas notes, "All signs point to [AEG] bearing the brunt of the stadium cost, and investment that likely would surpass $60[M]," with the city paying the remaining costs (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 10/26).

Who's going thru withdrawl already??
Me, I read somewhere that it's 17 weeks from the finale that the season premiere that makes it September 16th by my calculation.
I have watched the finale at least 5 times now, and I seem to cry in different parts, the first and second time I cried with Bailey and Charles Percy dying, the third time, didn't cry to busy trying to count how many people were killed and wounded, the fourth and fifth time I cried for Meredith and the pain she went through when she thought Cristina killed Derek and I held my breathe when she said I'm having a miscarriage. Not going to watch it again until I actually buy it on DVD in September.
I have also pulled the finale apart. Reed and Alex were shot in the PIT (ER) why didn't someone come to there aid, April just walks in there so calmly writing in her notepad, I haven't heard a gunshot but I'm sure that the people out in the waiting area of the ER department would have heard the 2 shots. Reed and Alex were in the supply room.
By my count 7 dead and 3 wounded. They should put a memorial in the lobby for those who died.
haha @smileyglen i did basically the same thing as you, pick apart the finale... and now i have to see it again! About the gun thing, maybe he had a silencer on it, i have to check and see. I so agree, I know people would have heard the gun because when i was little, my brother and I had an airsoft gun and we could hear it from upstairs if it was being used in my basement.

"One Man's Bid to Aid the Environment"
"Workers Laid Off, Executives Paid Off, Bernard Madoff"
The global financial crisis deepens, with more than 10 million in the U.S. out of work, according to the Department of Labor. Unemployment hit 6.7 percent in November. Add the 7.3 million "involuntary part-time workers," who want to work full time but can't find such a job. Jobless claims have reached a 26-year high, while 30 states reportedly face potential shortfalls in their unemployment-insurance pools.
"A Tale of Two Nobel Nations"
While the Nobel prizes recognize lifetime achievements in medicine, chemistry, physics, literature, economics and peace, and Sweden is a paragon among progressive, social democracies, there is another side to Sweden and the Nobels that warrants a closer look.
"Chevron in the White House"
President-elect Barack Obama introduced his principal national-security Cabinet selections to the world Monday and left no doubt that he intends to start his administration on a war footing. Perhaps the least well known among them is retired Marine Gen. James Jones, Obama's pick for national security adviser. The position is crucial—think of the power that Henry Kissinger wielded in Richard Nixon's White House. A look into who James Jones is sheds a little light on the Obama campaign's promise of "Change We Can Believe In."
"Tutu, Obama and the Middle East"
As President-elect Barack Obama focuses on the meltdown of the U.S. economy, another fire is burning: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. You may not have heard much lately about the disaster in the Gaza Strip. That silence is intentional: The Israeli government has barred international journalists from entering the occupied territory.
"A View From the South"
Evo Morales knows about "change you can believe in." He also knows what happens when a powerful elite is forced to make changes it doesn't want.
"President Obama Can Redeem the White House"
Alice Walker is the first African-American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. But Monday, I called her to talk about a true story. The Obamas had just visited the White House. The first African-American elected president of the United States had visited his soon-to-be residence, a house built by slaves.
"Organizer in Chief"
You could almost hear the world's collective sigh of relief. This year's U.S. presidential election was a global event in every sense. Barack Hussein Obama, the son of a black Kenyan father and a white Kansan mother, who grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii, represents to so many a living bridge—between continents and cultures.
Studs Terkel, 1912-2008
The legendary radio broadcaster, writer and oral historian Studs Terkel has died at the age of 96 in Chicago. Over the years Terkel has been a regular guest on Democracy Now!
In 2005, Studs Terkel appeared on Democracy Now! shortly after undergoing open heart surgery. He told Amy Goodman, "My curiosity is what saw me through. What would the world be like, or will there be a world? And so, that's my epitaph. I have it all set. Curiosity did not kill this cat. And it's curiosity, I think, that has saved me thus far."
"Election Protection"
Election Day approaches, and with it a test of our election system's integrity. Who will be allowed to vote; who will be barred? Who will get paper ballots; who will use electronic voting machines? Will polls be open long enough to accommodate what is expected to be a historic turnout?
"Change Big Donors Can Believe In"
The candidates' coffers are swelling with larger and larger bundles of cash, but don't hold your breath waiting for the extended television discussions of this, because it's the broadcasters who profit the most.
"Mickey Mouse Won't Try To Vote"
The 2008 presidential election may see the highest participation in U.S. history. Voter registration organizations and local election boards have been overwhelmed by enthusiastic people eager to vote. But not everyone is happy about this blossoming of democracy.
"Open the Debates"
The reviews are in, and the latest U.S. presidential debate, the "town hall" from Nashville, Tenn., was a snore. One problem is that in a debate it is important for the debaters to actually disagree. Yet Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain substantively agree on many issues. That is one major reason that the debates should be open, and that major third-party or independent candidates should be included.
"Invasion of the Sea-Smurfs"
A little-noticed story surfaced a couple of weeks ago in the Army Times newspaper about the 3rd Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team. "Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months," reported Army Times staff writer Gina Cavallaro, "the 1st BCT will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks." Disturbingly, she writes that "they may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control" as well.
Amy Goodman First Journalist to Win "Alternative Nobel"

"Troy Davis and the Supreme Decision"
Troy Anthony Davis was scheduled to die by lethal injection Tuesday. Two hours before the state of Georgia was to execute him, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay until Monday. It had earlier agreed to hear Davis' case on Sept. 29, but Georgia set his execution date six days before the hearing.

"Wall Street Socialists"

The banking, investment, finance and insurance industries, long the foes of taxation, now need money from working-class taxpayers to stay alive. Taxpayers should be in the driver's seat now. Instead, decisions that will cost people for decades are being made behind closed doors, by the wealthy, by the regulators and by those they have failed to regulate.

A year ago, Rocha was third in the Northeast, which includes runners from the New England states plus Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. Though she was an All-American by virtue of a 7th place finish at nationals last year, Rocha felt plenty of butterflies before Saturday's race.
"This is the one to qualify. When you're already at nationals, you feel like it's alright because you already made it," she said. "Having been to nationals, I really wanted to get there again, so I was pretty nervous for this race."
Rocha's coach and father has seen her evolve both physically and mentally since taking up cross country as a sophomore. She trusts herself and her instincts and it's made a world of difference against elite competition.
"She's a student of racing now, of running," Joe said. "She's a mature runner and she's mentally prepared. She has the confidence to take the lead like she did (on Saturday)."
The top-10 finishers in New York advance to the national finals, to be held in San Diego on Dec. 8. Rocha said her goal was simply to finish in the top 10, and she knew that against such a talented field winning would be a bonus. Her father was a little bit more optimistic.
"As a coach, I know what she can do and I thought she had a good chance to win, I really did," said Joe. "Anything can happen, but she's in great shape, she's peaking at the right time and she executed the race the way we planned it."
The goal for Rocha at nationals will be another All-American finish. Having already won a state title both as an individual and as a team, the regional crown was a welcome bonus.
"I did not expect to be first. It felt really good for me and to be able to represent Peabody," said Catarina. "To have this on top of winning that (team) state title, it makes the season that much better."

Inevitably, the Modi-Abe bromance has drawn global media attention. Some have called Modi India's Abe. Others have compared Abenomics with Modinomics.
Katju had alleged that Lahoti did this under pressure from the Manmohan Singh government, which in turn was arm-twisted by a key ally.
Questioning the proposal, he said there are various stake holders and it should be left to the public to consider the situation under which the judiciary functions.
With the Speaker unlikely to opt for a leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, it took the government some time to decide on the deputy Speaker.

Hippocampal activity during music listening exposes the memory-boosting power of music
For the first time the hippocampus—a brain structure crucial for creating long-lasting memories—has been observed to be active in response to recurring musical phrases while listening to music. Thus, the hippocampal involvement in long-term memory may be less specific than previously thought, indicating that short and long-term memory processes may depend on each other after all.
The study was conducted at the University of Jyväskylä and the AMI Center of Aalto University, by a group of researchers led by Academy Professor Petri Toiviainen, the Finnish Centre for Interdisciplinary Music Research (CIMR) at the University of Jyväskylä, and Dr. Elvira Brattico, Aalto University and the University of Helsinki. Results of the study were published in Cortex, a journal devoted to the study of the nervous system and behaviour.
"Our study basically shows an increase of activity in the medial temporal lobe areas—best known for being essential for long term memory—when musical motifs in the piece were repeated. This means that the lobe areas are engaged in the short-term recognition of musical phrases," explains Iballa Burunat, the leading author of the study. Dr. Brattico adds: "Importantly, this hadn't been observed before in music neuroscience."
A fundamental highlight of the study is the use of a setting that is more natural than those traditionally employed in neuroscience: the participants' only task was to attentively listen to an Argentinian tango from beginning to end. This kind of music provides well-defined, salient musical motifs that are easy to follow. They can be used to study recognition processes in the brain without having to resort to sound created in a lab. By using this more realistic approach, the researchers were able to identify brain areas involved in motif tracking without having to rely on the participants' ability to self-report, which would have constrained the study of brain processes.
"We think that our novel method allowed us to uncover this phenomenon. In other words, the identified areas may also be related to the formation of a more permanent memory trace of a musical piece, enabled precisely by the very use of a real-life stimulus (the recording of a live performance) in a realistic situation where participants just listen to the music as their brain responses are recorded," Iballa Burunat goes on to explain. Listening to the music from beginning to end may have imprinted the participants with a long lasting memory of the tune. This might not be expected were the participants exposed to a simpler stimulus in controlled conditions, as is the case in most studies in music and memory.
Although a real-life setting may be sufficient to trigger the involvement of the hippocampus, another explanation could lie in music's capacity to elicit emotions. "We cannot ignore music's emotional power which is thought to be crucial for the mnemonic power of music as to how and what we remember. There is evidence on the robust integration of music, memory and emotion—take for instance autobiographical memories. So it wouldn't be surprising that the emotional content of the music may well have been a factor in triggering these limbic responses," she continues. This makes sense, since the chosen musical piece by Astor Piazzolla was a tribute to his father after his sudden death, and so the main purpose of the piece was to be of a deeply emotional nature". Certainly, the hippocampus—as part of the limbic system—is connected to neural circuitry involved in emotional behavior, and ongoing research suggests that emotional events seem to be more memorable than neutral ones. The authors emphasize that these results should motivate similar approaches to study verbal or visual short term memory by tracking the themes or repetitive structures of a given stimulus. Moreover, the study has implications for neurodegenerative diseases associated with hippocampal atrophy, like Alzheimer's. "Music may positively affect patients if used wisely to stimulate their hippocampi, and thus their memory system," Academy Professor Petri Toiviainen indicates. A better understanding of the link between music and memory could have widespread repercussions, leading to novel interventions to rehabilitate or improve the life quality of patients with neurodegenerative conditions.

Mia Wasikowska in "Tracks" adventure drama trailer (video)
March 10, 2014 - 18:54 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Satirical comedy "Kill Your Friends," about the era of Britpop music, has started lensing in London for a five-week shoot, Variety said.
Pic is set in London in 1997, when the British music industry is on a winning streak. A&R man Steven Stelfox is slashing and burning his way through the biz. Fuelled by greed, ambition and drugs, he lives the dream, as he searches for the next hit. But as the hits dry up and the industry begins to change, he takes the concept of "killer tunes" to a murderous new level.
Screenplay is penned by John Niven, based on his cult novel. Pic is the feature debut for director Owen Harris, whose previous credits include TV series "Misfits."
Nicholas Hoult ("X-Men: First Class," "Jack the Giant Slayer") takes the lead role of Stelfox, and is joined by an ensemble cast that includes Craig Roberts ("22 Jump Street," "Submarine"), Tom Riley ("Da Vinci's Demons," "I Want Candy"), Georgia King ("The New Normal," "Austenland"), Jim Piddock ("What About Dick?," "A Mighty Wind"), Joseph Mawle ("Half of a Yellow Sun," "Birdsong"), James Corden (Tony Award winner for "One Man, Two Guvnors") and Edward Hogg ("The Comedian," "Bunny and the Bull").
Producers are Gregor Cameron for Unigram, Will Clarke for Altitude Film Entertainment and Len Blavatnik for AI Film, and Warner Music Group.
Pic will be released in the U.K. by Studiocanal. Altitude Film Sales is handling international sales.

The percentage of Android smartphones running Jelly Bean has hit 1.2%, up from the 0.8% recorded the previous month.
These latest figures, released by Google via the Android Developers website show that, alongside the Jelly Bean increase, the older Ice Cream Sandwich platform has also grown from 15.9% to 20.9%.
Interestingly, the figures also show that a huge 57.5% of Android users are still running Gingerbread, with 18.3% of users stuck on even older iterations such as Froyo and Éclair.
The statistics have led to a number of sources suggesting that manufacturers and operators need to address how quickly they roll out OS updates, and additionally that compatibility issues with older hardware may be key to the continued widespread use of older platforms.
Other figures from the tech giant show that the majority of Android users prefer a display size of around 4-inches on their mobile devices.

Marc M. of Sick Animation delivers a twisted series. Don't miss Karen!
Took me about four days to make.
No, this is isn't a tribute to that 2001 version you've seen on Cartoon Network.
This is a tribute to the original 1960's black-and-white anime.
Now, for the first time, it's in Flash form with added color.
I made this because Cyborg 009 appeals to me a lot and I wanted to make a tribute to it.
I really did enjoy drawing 007. His expressions are fun to draw.
You'll also notice some differences between the original and the new version.
For one, 007 is a toddler in the original. In the 2001 version, he is fully grown.
A good portion of this was done frame-by-frame and it took awhile to do so keep that in mind.
If you haven't seen Cyborg 009, I suggest you check it out on Cartoon Network.
Long live old school anime!
I like that show
and I like that movie, keep up the good work.
Well I'll be damned, animation!
I can't believe there is animation in this. It's just...well....to be honest, I've never seen you animate something. Not that there's a problem with that. But it's just a big contrast to what your style has been up 'till now. It's a very cool change. I think it's fair to say you can give a pleasent Fark You to the people who've been critisizing your visuals now, ha ha. The animation was smooth, very cool looking. The audio was nice as well, it's got that old-school theme to it. The style is great, it's got everyone jumping around with lasers and explosions. What more could one ask for? I get a kick out of oldschool stuff like this (I mean, my fav anime IS Mobile Suit Gundam classic) so I can appreciate the oldschool touch that went into it. Great job, Mark. You're really coming a long way with your visuals. Keep up the good work.
quit already damnit.
No. I've already made almost 40 Flash movies and I haven't even been on here a year yet. So I'm not going to quit.
very nice
The drawing wasnt all dat good buti enjoyed this 1960 version of it(and its in Color!)Nice work on this movie,hope to see more!
graphics could be improved. Nice try.

Nursing home subsidies
AbstractOn 13 July 1998 the Treasurer referred the current and alternative funding methodologies for nursing home subsidy rates to the Productivity Commission for inquiry and report within six months. The Aged Care Structural Reform Package, announced in the August 1996 Budget, included a process of 'coalescence', under which the different nursing home subsidy rates in States and Territories would gradually move to national rates over a period of seven years, commencing from 1 July 1998. The Government decided to delay the implementation of the coalescence process pending a review by the Productivity Commission into differential subsidy rates.

In August 2010, Ambassador John Campbell published the following views about Nigeria: "Nigeria is in trouble. National elections scheduled for 2011 have the potential to undermine the country's current precarious stability by exacerbating its serious internal ethnic, regional and religious divisions. Since 1999, national presidential elections have adhered to an informal power sharing arrangement between the Muslim North and the Christian South, thereby avoiding regional and religious conflict.
"But in 2011, there is the risk that power sharing will be abandoned, with the presidential incumbent Goodluck Jonathan, a southern Christian contesting against a northern Muslim candidate. The fact that credible elections are unlikely may tilt the balance of power in favour of the incumbent president and open the door to protests – perhaps violent – from the losing candidates and ethnic groups."
As usual, we live in denial. We shouted Mr. Campbell down. We called him names. Fake patriots accused him of trying to divide the country as if we need him or any outsider to do just that. We capped all that unreasonableness with denying him visa to Nigeria! When I knew John Campbell between 1991 and 1993, he was head of the Political Desk in the US Embassy in Nigeria. He returned in 2004 as Ambassador. Having been in these two positions, he probably understands Nigeria better than some of his abusers. Trouble is that we resent it when outsiders tell us the truth we would rather not tell ourselves.
Compare Campbell's ominous prediction against what some of our own leaders said at about the same time. "Anything short of a northern President is tantamount to stealing our Presidency. Jonathan has to go and he will go. Even if he uses the incumbency power to get his nomination on the platform of the PDP, he would be frustrated out. (If Jonathan emerges President next year). The North is determined; if that happens,to make the country ungovernable for President Jonathan or any other southerner who finds his way to the seat of power on the platform of the PDP against the principle of the party's zoning policy" – Alhaji Lawan Kaita, a former governor of the old Kaduna State on October 5, 2010.
Here is another: "Nigerians do not want a peaceful change. We wish to state that we support the position of our mentor, Turaki Abubakar, that what Nigeria needs is not a peaceful change. This is no threat. Boko Haram will be a child's play compared with the action our members can take. We have been patient enough. And enough, they say is enough" – Mallam Abubakar Ibrahim (President) and Dr. Yakubu Ahmed (Secretary-General), Coalition of Atiku Northern Supporters (CANSU), December 15, 2010.
There were other equally vitriolic effusions and ominous prophesies during that period, all warning us about trouble ahead. These warnings may not be connected with what we have witnessed in the North since the presidential elections. The real motive of the authors of the violence in the North has been shifty and slippery. But because we are often forgetful, we tend to obfuscate all these and conveniently codename it Boko Haram. But I recall that in 1966 when the North lost power, it resorted to pogrom. Violence was not an option in June 1993 because they could annul MKO Abiola's election and retain power. Of course, it has been said in many places that had Abiola been sworn in as President in 1993, there would have been dire consequences. Recall that Abiola at one time escaped from the country for fear of his life. Recall also that he died in detention because he would not renounce his Epetedo declaration of himself as President.
A closer reading of some of the writings of some northern elite in recent times reveals a subtle reference to the zoning brouhaha in PDP as well as a rationalizing parallel being drawn between Boko Haram violence and the Niger Delta militants violence. It seems that someone is telling President Jonathan that if you got the Presidency because the Niger Delta militants pointed a gun on our heads we can also reclaim what we lost by putting a gun on your head! True or not, the useful lesson is that no group in this country has a monopoly to violence. This should also be a lesson to those behind Boko Haram.
On Wednesday July 20, 2011, it was reported that President Jonathan met with North-east elders and the Arewa Consultative Forum,ACF. The call for dialogue with Boko Haram is increasingly becoming popular. I have no quarrel with that. Indeed I agree completely with Marafan Sokoto, Alhaji Umaru Shinkafi, that "as long as the opportunity for dialogue exists, it should not be discarded" (Daily Sun; July 21, 2011)). But I have one worry. I worry about piecemeal dialogue with aggrieved sections of Nigeria. We would, once more, be playing games with the nagging National Question.
The issues for which Nigeria fought a civil war still remain unresolved. They surfaced in Ogoni. They surfaced in the South-west as "June 12". They surfaced in the Niger Delta. They surfaced in the Middle Belt. They have surfaced in the North. Nobody knows where else they will surface. The problem of Nigeria is simply about democratic space for every group and every culture for self-determination.
A democratic system that works is that which reconciles the diversity of the various groups not one that tries to obliterate it. It is a shame that in a country as diverse as Nigeria we have failed to create workable democratic space in every group. The centralized "Federal" system we insist on is simply not working for the majority of Nigerians. It is no longer even working for those who took advantage of it in the past. Our Federal system is a mere aberration.
From June 1999 to 2001, the Sweden based inter-governmental organisation, International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, I-IDEA, at the request of President Obasanjo, sponsored a democracy assessment in Nigeria. This field work was carried out by 53 international resource persons, including some of the best scholars in this country who went round Nigeria to interview the people. The report is titled, 'Democracy in Nigeria: Continuing Dialogue for Nation Building'. It was deliberately titled '…Continuing Dialogue(s)..' because democracy is a continuous process not an event. There are many dialogues the Nigerian state must have with the diverse peoples of Nigeria to determine their stake, their expectations and obligations in a democratic Nigeria.
Incidentally, three regions of Nigeria likely to threaten our democracy were highlighted and given special focus in that report. These are the Niger Delta, North-central (or Middle Belt) and the North- east. These areas have since witnessed violence foretold! The causes of the violence witnessed in these regions and the solutions were highlighted in that report! During the dissemination workshop held in the six geopolitical zones in 2001, the choice of the people was "review the Constitution" or "convoke a National Conference" as either the first or second choice. These choices were expected to deepen democracy.
Instead of piecemeal dialogue with groups when they get angry and put a gun on our heads, President Jonathan should summon the courage today and convoke a genuine National Conference, and let us all dialogue with one another. Those who quickly say that a National Conference will dismember the country have no point. The way Nigeria is going, we do not need a National Conference for it to unravel. We have been talking at one another but not with one another! Piecemeal dialogue will not solve the problems associated with nation-building! And we must stop thinking that once our group's problem is solved, Nigeria's problem is solved.

Now that the clocks have gone back and we've long forgotten that extra hour's sleep (and being woken up in the middle of the night by my resetting radio-controlled clock), it's getting hard to struggle home through the darker, wetter evenings. One way to keep yourself safe as a cyclist is using Bicygnals.
They're ultra-bright LED front and read lights, wirelessly connected via radio frequencies with unique built in left and right indicators. The cyclist sets the front indicator and the rear one mirrors it. Not only are you very visible but you can clearly signal your intentions when it's safe to do so. If you're worried about leaving the lights attached to your bike, just pull off both and clip them together securely to pop in your bag. £39.95 from Halfords.

Ariel - The Little Mermaida game by The Walt Disney Company, Blue Sky Productions, and Capcom
Ariel - The Little Mermaid DownloadsAriel - The Little Mermaid download
Once upon a maritime, Hans Christian Andersen wrote a fairy tale called "The Little Mermaid". Then, Disney produced a blockbuster animated movie of the same name. Now, Capcom brings the seafaring saga to the NES.
As in the movie, our heroine, Ariel falls for her prince, Eric, and leaves the sea to become human. However, in this five level action/adventure game, there'll be no happily-ever-after until Ursula, the sea witch, is dealt with. She's taking over the oceans, so Ariel must become a mermaid again in order to save her fishy friends.
Bubble Trouble
The Little Mermaid looks excellent! The characters are top notch Disney reproductions. The animation's similarly splendid; Ariel's movements are practically graceful!
She's also a 'maid to order for her adventure. Her powerful flipper tail stirs up a mess of trouble for the bad guys in the form of bubbles... air bubbles, that is. Two swishes trap the finny fiends.
ProTip: To kill two birds with one stone... er, two fish with one bubble, snare a fish and use it like a shield or shoot it into another fish.
Keep an eye open for Magic Shells. You can chuck them at bad sea things or use them to break open Treasure Chests, which usually contain pearly power-ups.
Some enemies can only be defeated with shells. If you just carry a shell into enemies, it lasts longer.
Search the seas top to bottom to find seashells. Swish your tail along sandy areas and you might even find other bonuses, too.
Nautical Naughties
The Little Mermaid features average, multi-scrolling action that's repetitive, but it won't make you sea sick. Every level leads to fishy bosses, that you fight basically the same way: capture the fish guards and toss them at the boss.
Level One is the Sea of Coral, where Ariel teaches a school of fresh fish a lesson and meets a shark with a taste for mermaids. The Sunken Ship in Level Two looks scary, but don't be afraid of no floating ghosts. Level Three is the Sea of Ice, where frozen fish and a wily walrus try to shiver your timbers. Level Four's the Undersea Volcano where eyes in the sand mean danger and a Spanish galleon hides the sneaky Soldierfish. Finally, Ursula's Castle is a maze of dragon tunnels leading to the witch's den. As in the movie, the she-serpent blows big trouble in a titanic underwater battle.
To tip the scales in your favor versus Level Two's eerie eels, wait at the bottom and strike when you see the whites of their eyes.
To beat Ursula, stay below her body and wait for her to fire fish. Capture one and you can figure out the rest.
A Sea Breeze
The Little Mermaid's a class act all the way. However, experienced seafaring gamers will sail right through the game, and average NES swimmers will get an average work out. The game's target audience, little kids, should find it a great catch, though, especially with the "no damage" option. For some players, The Little Mermaid will make a big splash!
If you like Ariel - The Little Mermaid, try other games
ECCO - The Tides of Time Travel through the time along with Ecco the dolphin, in the only game that could call itself a "dolphin simulator".
E.V.O.: Search for Eden This game is about a character whose goal is to evolve into the dominant life form on Earth and live in Eden where Gaia lives.
Pocahontas It's an American legend, it's a Walt Disney film, and now it's a hand-held videogame, too!
- Machine: Nintendo
When Ariel left her ocean home to be with Prince Eric at the end of Walt Disney's hit movie The Little Mermaid, all was well in the deep blue sea. But times have changed, and the evil witch Ursula is now taking control of the entire ocean. When Ariel's friends - Rounder, Sebastian, and Scuttle - warn her of the danger, Ariel discards her human form and returns to the sea to stop Ursula.
In the Nintendo version of The Little Mermaid, Ariel discovers that everything really has changed. The friendly guppies she used to play with have turned mean, and the bigger fish seem determined to make fish food out of her.
During your search for Ursula, you must guide Ariel safely through five underwater stages: the Coral Sea, a sunken ship, an icy ocean, Volcano Bay, and the Palace of Gloom. Your best defense against attackers is Ariel's tail.
Swish it twice to snare a fish in a bubble, then swim up and grab the bubble. If you can throw the bubble at another enemy before it bursts, you'll eliminate two fish at once.
As you swim along, search the sandy bottom, the coral reefs, and rock ledges for magic shells. These shells will let you do more than listen to the roar of the ocean. You can toss them at enemies to stop them in their tracks, or use them to open sunken treasure chests.
When you open a treasure chest, a gleaming ball will float out. Red balls will make your bubbles faster and stronger, able to snare even the biggest fish. Green balls will give you extra strength to leap, dive, and push things out of your way - even boulders.
You'll encounter many dangers as you search each stage, but the bosses guarding the exits are the most dangerous foes of all. To defeat them, catch smaller enemies in your bubbles and throw them at the boss's weak spot. This trick even works during your final showdown with Ursula.
Sparkling graphics, colorful characters, low-key violence, and an enchanting story make The Little Mermaid a good family game. And while the game play is easy enough for beginners, it's challenging enough to test more experienced players as well.

Under the Sea...
Now you can take on the evil Ursula right in your own home! Help Ariel defeat Ursula and her vile vermin followers. Ursula has placed a spell on the sea creatures and only Ariel can save them. Perhaps if she ends Ursula's threat forever, she may yet find happiness with her true love Prince Eric.
Ariel has a bubble power that can encase enemies in bubbles or push heavy objects from their perch. Her other weapon is the sea shell, which will wipe out most enemies and unlock chests. Ariel will have to traverse six rough areas and beat six bosses to destroy Ursula's reign of terror. Show her the way!

People say:5
I've got to review this game with the right attitude, because after all, it is for little girls. Beyond the fact that the action is really toned down, there aren't a lot of bad things to say about Mermaid, other than it does get somewhat boring after awhile. Little girls should love it. I don't.7
I have to give Capcom credit for going after a niche market. For that purpose, they have succeeded as it is a decent game. Serious players don't have to be warned about game as the title says it all. For the younger player this is a must have as it is a great nonviolent game.7
A NES cart based on a romantic cartoon? Weird theme, but Capcom continues to deliver a solid game no matter what the theme. Decent graphics and sounds. Game play that is easy to grasp for younger players. A good game that is a little too easy because of its target players.8
Ahhh...Finally, a true family game kids and adults of all ages and sex can enjoy! Little Mermaid has a near perfect blend of action and adventure. The music is upbeat, the graphics are good clean fun, and the theme is, of course, excellent. A must for young NES owners.
Ariel - The Little Mermaid
Windows XP/Vista/7/8
Ariel (The Little Mermaid) is a game developed by BlueSky Software and released by SEGA back in 1992. The game was available for SEGA Game Gear and it was considered an "Action" game. Ariel is actually the protagonist of "The Little Mermaid", a movie from 1989, and is based on the protagonist of "The Little Mermaid" story, written by the famous Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen.
In this game you can control two characters, Ariel the Mermaid or her father, King Triton. Both characters have to follow their own stories in the game, and back in 1992 players used to choose both characters and play both of the stories.
However, the stories are almost similar. If you pick Ariel, King Triton has been kidnapped, and if you pick the father, you have to rescue The Mermaid. There are four stages in this game, and making it through requires a bit of assistance from several other characters. Sebastian the crab, Flounder and the digger-fish will help you if needed along all the levels.
The player will have to fight villains such as the Lava Master, the Shark Boss or the Medusa, while the final challenge, in the last level, will be against Ursula. If the player manages to rescue her, the kidnapped character will be saved. The player can collect pearls and buy different things from the seagull called Scuttle.
Ursula, which is the main villain of the game, plans to rule the Merkingdom, and is turning people into little polyps under the reign of King Triton. Not only this is not acceptable at all for the crown members, but by kidnapping one of the royal members Ursula has the upper hand. You can rescue the kidnapped character by swimming into the victims, as they can be found in fixed places under the water. The player will have to dodge attacks and enemies like eels, clams, sharks or other sea fishes. If you can't cope with so many enemies, do not forget, you always have the helping hands of a friend.
The game wasn't received very well at that time, and got fairly poor feedback after the release. Being rated on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the best, Ariel was offered the following ratings after different criteria: Gameplay - 1.8, Graphics - 2.8, Personal opinion - 2.2 and Sound/Music - 2.5. Therefore, the game has an overall feedback of 2.3 out of 5, which is not that much.
There are not so many statistics about how many copies of the game were sold, but considering the game was not very popular, it seems SEGA didn't earned as much as wanted after developing and publishing this game.
youer web site is verry baest & 01number in world
Released in 1991, this single player side-scrolling action game was published and developed by Capcom Co., Ltd.
In Disney's The Little Mermaid for the Nintendo Entertainment System, you take on the role of Ariel. Ariel has already met Eric, and they are planning to have a wedding, but Ursala, the sea-witch, has taken control of the entire ocean and now Ariel has to become a mermaid once more and sets off to save the ocean. The game play takes place from a side view and Ariel is able to shoot bubbles to trap her foes and after that can throw them into each other. Also, she can dig through sand in search for treasure and pick up seashells to open chests using them. Usually there are only bonus points in the treasure she finds, but the treasure in chests increases her bubble's power and range.

Action Alert here: http://www.peta.org/action/action-alerts/urgent-speak-proposed-bobcat-fur-farm/?utm_campaign=Montana+Fur+Farm&utm_source=PETA+E-Mail&utm_medium=Alert
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) is currently taking public comments on its Schultz Fur Farm Environmental Assessment, which recommends the permitting of a bobcat farm near Roy, Montana, where bobcats would be captive-bred and then sold to the cruel fur industry. Comments are due by August 29, so your voice is needed immediately!
In the wild, bobcats roam vast natural territories that can span 25 square miles, foraging for food, raising their young, and frolicking with family members. These animals are highly sensitive and elusive beings who avoid human contact at all cost. If Larry Schultz's farm is permitted, bobcats would spend the majority of their short lives in small wire cages commonly seen in the unscrupulous fur industry. Intensive confinement prevents animals from being able to take more than a few steps in any direction or feel the earth beneath their feet. Many animals go insane under these conditions and will mutilate themselves and cannibalize their cagemates. Reportedly, bobcats have killed their young on Schultz's fur farm in North Dakota.
Please urge the FWP to deny Schultz's permit. Remind the agency that fur farms are cruel to animals and bad for the environment. And please forward this alert widely!
