With 31 editions world wide and 28 translations the Gruffalo is a multi-award winning children's favourite so to see this piece of children's literature on stage was just amazing.
The Gruffalo tells the story of a mouse taking a walk through the woods. Mouse encounters Fox, Snake and Owl, all of whom intend to eat mouse. To evade danger mouse creates a fictional friend, the Gruffalo and describes his monstrous features. Funnily enough the Gruffalo's favourite meal just happens to be the relevant animal. Mouse confidently walks on through the woods with the classic
"Silly old Fox/Snake/Owl, doesn't he know? There's no such thing as a Gruffalo"
Until mouse actually comes face to face with the Gruffalo!
There really aren't enough words to describe how outstanding the Gruffalo was. Tall Stories Theatre Company have produced a magnificent show. The Gruffalo was funny with impeccable comedic timing. The acting was brilliant, amazing music, costumes and set. It was engaging and absolutely perfectly pitched to the audience, no wonder this was a 1000 seater sell out for the Baths Hall in Scunthorpe. The Gruffalo was quite simply exceptional and a testament to the Baths Hall for showing such outstanding children's theatre.

All active warrants in Potter County, TX get released once the police have made a case against the alleged offender based on evidence and witness testimony. The proof gathered is brought before the judiciary to get the nod from the magistrate on there being clear probable cause to accuse the suspect of commissioning the act.
A formal affidavit is prepared to show the judge how the offender was involved in the incident and why the police assumed that the act was of a criminal nature. Witness testimony, forensic or crime scene evidence as well as hearsay proof can be put to use to convince the magistrate that a picture of clear culpability can be painted based on facts alone.
The police have to wade through this stage if they are to get their hands on an arrest warrant. The department is always willing to put in the extra work for procuring orders for arrests because with an outstanding warrant, arresting officers get unlimited powers when apprehending offenders. Of course, this does not mean that warrantless arrests are not sanctioned by the Criminal Code of Texas.
Information on criminal history is kept in the Texas Criminal Justice Information System which is central repository that is used for computerized crime history and warrant searches as well as for correctional tracking information. The Departments of Criminal Justice and Public safety collaborate to offer this data to the public.
Criminal history searches are entertained from schools, organizations that offer care and services to children, elderly people, mentally or physically challenged individuals as well as applicants who do not represent such entities or a justice department. However, the amount of information offered varies between these two categories. While authorized applicants are made privy to complete crime history, non-authorized applicants will only be told about conviction related details.
The Department of Public safety can be contacted for limited as well as in depth background reports. For the former use their online facility at https://records.txdps.state.tx.us/DpsWebsite/CriminalHistory/ and for the latter, write to the agency at Texas Department of Public Safety, P O Box 4087, 5805 North Lamar Blvd, Austin, Texas 78752-4422.
The Department of Criminal Justice will accept inquiries through mail, in person as well as over the phone. The simplest way is to use their name based search tool available at http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/offender_information.htm. Alternatively, you can call them on 936-295-6371 or write to them at TDCJ – Executive Services, P.O. Box 99, Huntsville, TX 77342-0099.

Privacy Researchers Push for Location Services Protected By Cryptography
Privacy Researchers Push for Location Services Protected By Cryptography
Many users love geo-location services such as Google Latitude, Loopt and Brightkite, which leverage GPS data and wireless networks to help users find their friends, businesses or other areas of interest from their smartphones.
Such services also scare some users because they mean our location information is stored in a database. What if we want a user or service provider to know where we are, but not have that information stored in the location-based service provider's servers?
A privacy expert and a mathematician have proposed such services that ensure users' locational privacy are possible.
In a whitepaper, "On Locational Privacy, and How to Avoid Losing it Forever," Peter Eckersley, staff technologist for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Andrew Blumberg, a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, argue that modern cryptography allows data processing systems to be designed with privacy policies ranging from limited to complete anonymity.
"Preserving locational privacy is about maintaining dignity and confidence as you move through the world," the researchers wrote. "Locational privacy is also about knowing when other people know things about you, and being able to tell when they are making decisions based on those facts."
The researchers argue modern cryptography will let companies deploy anything from road tolls and transit tickets to location searches from cell phones and all the other mobile services we want without creating a record of where users are.
Eckersley and Blumberg offer the case of location-based search services on mobile devices as an important example. Because phones are locating themselves based on the signal strength or visibility of nearby wireless networks or on GPS data, companies are trying to provide search tools which use this data to offer people different search results depending on where they are at any given moment.
For example, if a user is on Folsom Street in San Francisco and does a search for local restaurants, a service would return search results for eateries within a half-mile radius of Folsom Street. The researchers provide an example of a location search that does not ensure privacy because it allows for digital footprints:
The naive way to do mobile location search is for the device to say "This is Frank's Nokia here. I see the following five Wi-Fi networks with the following five signal strengths." The service replies "OK, that means you're at the corner of 5th and Main in Springfield." Then your device replies, "What burger joints are nearby? Are any of Frank's friends hanging out nearby?" That kind of search creates a record of everywhere you go and what you're searching for while you're there.
The researchers claim the cryptographic way to blend location-based services and search would sound like this:
More on Location Privacy Practices
"Hi, this is a mobile device here. Here is a cryptographic proof that I have an account on your service and I'm not a spammer. I see the following five wireless networks." The service replies "okay, that means you're at the corner of 5th and Main in Springfield. Here is a big list of encrypted information about things that are nearby." If any of that encrypted information is a note from one of Frank's friends, saying "hey, I'm here," then his Nokia will be able to read it. If he likes, he can also say "hey, here's an encrypted note to post for other people who are nearby." If any of them are his friends, they'll be able to read it."
Eckersley and Blumberg also provide examples for using cryptography in automated tolling and stoplight enforcement and transit passes and access cards.
However, while they cautioned that the challenge of implementing such cryptographic solutions is great, cryptographic software is already used to protect financial services, e-commerce and telecommunications.
Moreover, they argue that while governments have a "responsibility to their citizens to ensure that the infrastructure they deploy protects locational privacy" companies should want to invest in such technologies to avoid the cost of legal compliance issues.
The researchers also don't believe that waiting for a company to offer privacy solutions as features that can be bolted on to existing location services is an option. Instead, it is incumbent on service providers to build these protections into their software services.
Unfortunately, location-based services might be one of the last action items on the long list for federal agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission or Department of Justice.
These regulators are already grappling with such weighty issues as privacy in behaviorally-targeted advertising, as well as the privacy and possible antitrust ramifications of Microsoft's and Yahoo's search deal.
Location-based services are very much in their infancy. Until services such as Google Latitude and Loopt see more widespread adoption, regulators are not likely to sit up and take notice. The whitepaper from the EFF is one seed that could be planted in the name of locational privacy.

It would be unfair to burden Nani with quite the same expectation of emulating close friend, countryman and former United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo upon his return from the World Cup in 2006. But there is a definite sense that United's Portuguese winger has turned a corner in his development and will press on to become a truly top player this season.
He has lived with comparisons to Ronaldo ever since he arrived at Old Trafford. They are different players (perhaps only slightly, but crucially) and different people too. Ronaldo is an extrovert (Never! Really?), while Sir Alex Ferguson last season described Nani as "a shy boy".
The circumstances after this World Cup are different, of course. The backlash from England's World Cup exit in Germany suited Ronaldo's me-against-the-world characteristics: he already responded to getting kicked in games by dusting himself down and going again, but his experience post-World Cup 2006 was the ultimate crunching challenge – and the way he dealt with it was the making of him as a player. His performances between 2006 and 2008 were earth-shatteringly good.
For a start, Nani didn't play in the World Cup in South Africa this summer. A collarbone injury put paid to any involvement in the tournament. It's a shame because I personally believe that Nani would have announced his arrival on the game's most global stage as one of the competition's stars. But the disappointment at being denied that platform, I am sure, will only spur him on this term. Plus, you could put forward a legitimate case that he was United's best player in the final few months of last season, scoring four goals in his final seven outings of the 2009/10 campaign.
United assistant boss Mike Phelan said in an interview earlier this year that "the penny has dropped" with Nani. His performances in the second half of last season showed maturity, vastly improved decision making, consistency, and an ability to influence key games – he was outstanding against Bayern Munich at Old Trafford (scoring twice), and got the crucial goal against Tottenham in the league. Most importantly, he looked like he was really enjoying his football. That's bound to bring the best out of any player.
There's an expectation at United that demands excellence without compromise. The manager sets the tone, the players are

Over 4.5 hours of instruction from legendary British Grandmaster Nigel Davies Product DescriptionFor players who lack either the time or inclination to study reams of opening theory the Closed Sicilian (1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 followed by 3.g3) is an excellent choice. The two great exponents of this method of play were World Champions Vassily Smyslov and Boris Spassky. These days it's the top English Grandmasters Michael Adams and Nigel Short who are its leading exponents. During the early stages White quietly builds strong central fortifications and gains space on the kingside. Despite the quiet appearance of this plan, in the middle game this can lead to a ferocious onslaught against Blacks king. On this DVD Nigel Davies introduces the viewer to the different strategies and variations through a series of instructive games. His presentation caters mainly to players who wish to play White, but he also points out the best methods of defense for Black. This makes it essential viewing for players wishing to play either color. Nigel Davies has been a Grandmaster since 1993 and is a former British Open Quickplay and U21 Champion. He had more than 30 years international tournament experience and is the author many other best-selling DVDs for ChessBase.

A liberal, moderate, and conservative walked into bar; the bartender looked up and said, "Hello Mitt".
This new Romney showed up at the debates. Let's see how he compares with the old one.
Romney 1.0 promised to cut taxes 20% across the board in order to stimulate the economy. Romney 2.0 said everyone's tax bills wouldn't change. Rate changes will be balanced by deduction reductions. No details yet. When pressed on how he could keep all of these promises and also reduce the deficit, Romney 2.0 said that this revenue-neutral plan would spur economic growth just like his old plan, even though this new one is putting no more money in the hands of consumers or job creators.
Healthcare Reform
Both Romneys are going to repeal Obamacare, but Romney 2.0 claimed his plan covered popular things like pre-existing conditions. After the debate, his campaign admitted his "plan" relied on every state passing their own version of Romneycare.
Deferred Action for Illegal Aliens
Romney 2.0 said he would support the President's action. The next day his campaign said the real plan was to end the program if elected and only honor those deferrals issued between now and then.
Romney 2.0 provided a full throated endorsement of financial regulation including large parts of the Dodd Frank bill which Romney 1.0 promised to repeal. No details on potential replacements.
Romney 1.0 wanted to reform Medicare as part of a larger effort to reduce the deficit. Romney 2.0 says that he plans to keep Medicare unchanged for anyone who wants to use it now and into the future. In addition he will create an alternate voucher program in hopes that everyone will move from the guaranteed program to the program where they have to take some of the risk regarding the cost of their care once they are retired. He hasn't provided any details on how running two competing healthcare plans will be cheaper than running one.
Romney 1.0 claimed that Obama's policies have created a pervasive culture of dependency and entitlement that threatens the very fabric of democracy. Romney 2.0 apologized, "I said something that's just completely wrong."
Truth in Advertising
Romney's pollster said "We are not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers". Romney 2.0 claimed that when "any time there's anything that's been amiss (in our advertising), we correct it or remove it." When asked for examples, his campaign couldn't produce any.
Perhaps there isn't as much difference between Romney 1.0 and Romney 2.0 after all.

Boys baseball: Fort Atkinson beats Stoughton 3-1
Updated On: May 11 2013 01:00:37 PM CDT
In the badger south baseball Friday night 6-2 Stoughton traveled to 5-3 Fort Atkinson.
In the 4th inning, the Blackhawks led 2-1 and they haD the bases loaded.
Casey O'Brien hit a pop-up to second. It was an in-field fly rule -- where runners advance at their own risk -- and the ball was dropped. The runner on third took off for home. The Stoughton catcher didn't make the tag, but there's no forced out so the run would count.
A big turning point in the game.
Fort wins 3-1.

Activist investors DESTROY COMPANIES. Don't get me started on share dealings...
Your point is?
"It's called selfishness and greed." - it's called capitalism. Po-tay-to, po-tar-to. I agree that short termism is bad. But as you said, people invest with their eyes open, or should at any rate. They choose based on dividend expectation or capital growth, the two don't usually coexist so the choice isn't that hard.
Execs are employed by the shareholders, so investors are right to shake things up if the execs are making a hash of it. This doesn't happen enough in the cosy boys' (and girls') club of boards, execs and institutional investors. Activist investors may be self-serving pains in the arse, but if the result is a better performing company with less bad managers making bad decisions but still raking in the bonus cash, then what is the problem? Company value is not the execs' to waste.
Capitalism is based on self-serving decisions balancing out, and the financial markets are one place where this should actually work. The problem isn't duration of investment, it is complacency of investors and uninformed speculation.
Some good comments but I really don't see your point.

The police are crap - one example
A former workmate had his card details used by a thief, a couple of years ago now.
The reason he knew this was because the goods bought were sent to the "bill to" rather than the "ship to" address.
So he had the name and address of the perp - who had taken a classified ad order from him two weeks previously, working at the local paper.
When notified, the police said it was a matter fro the card company. The card company weren't interested either. The newspaper said that they had susoected he wasn't kosher, but hadn't done anything about it, and to our knowledge didn't do anything afterwards either.
If a clear case like this doesn't make someone investigate what incentive will there ever be NOT to defraud?

Giving the percentage based on value would actually indicate the amount of business, Maude knows this very well and is just spinning the numbers to make himself look like he gives a toss.
Also: 75% of the contracts for a measly couple of Million, out of the billions spent by government? No wonder smaller companies not already on the gravy train (if they had a significant government contract they would no longer be SMEs) are heading for the door.

Twat alert
"Only if documents can be easily exchanged and reliably accessed down ton an ongoing basis will... the availability of knowledge down through the ages be assured,"
What a twat. We have lots of historical information in a wide variety of dead formats, languages, media blah blah blah from heiroglyphics carved on rocks to wordperfect files from the 80s. And believe it or not people can read them if they care enough.
Yes standardisation is a good thing, but the quote above is a bit cack. He'll be saying that anyone who disagrees is like Hitler next and the issue will be closed.

Re: But isn't the fact
Not the point. The issue is stability of the readings over time, not how representative they are today. It could be that LHR weather is a good average for the UK (I have no idea), but when trying to see very slow trends it is important that everything except the measurement remains as constant as possible, or at least changes in surroundings, equipment etc. are also recorded and corrected for - some corrections will be done by regular calibration, others can't be calibrated out.
Regular updating of the metadata may make the low quality data usable over time, resulting in better results from a wider base.
Doh because this should have been started years ago, measuring a small number of variables when analysing a complex system is not good science.

Bit puzzled by this one. According to the latest report from ComScore, with a slightly larger sample size of 30,000 (only in the US) Apple's market share is running at 15%+, or quite a long way from the 50% here.
The stats seem a bit flawed for this bit. Which makes the rest questionable too.

'Amazon can't do what we do': Twitter-miner's BYO data centre heresy
In vs Out
Same question for anything, not just IT.
If you have stable demand that will use a full unit of resource, and you have the skills to manage it, and it is available, then it makes sense to bring it in-house - outsourcing means that you are paying someone margin after all, so it will never be cheaper unless there is some additional value being delivered above and beyond the commodity (which I suppose means that it isn't a commodity).
For unpredictable demand or resources that you can't use fully or manage or find, then you need more flexible (i.e. external) sources. As someone said already, that is one of the points of cloud, a great example because so many different skills and resources are needed to make a datacentre or any large scale IT work well.
The argument is ignored by many big co's and governments who have jumped on the "out is good" bandwagon, a decision often based on being too lazy or incompetent to manage what they have (or previously having been too lazy or incompetent to manage it, resulting in ridiculously wasteful practices and dysfunctional relationships with unions etc).
Nice to hear some sense from a company with ambition (though that communication with the market may be the point).

Re: Translation:
And what's wrong with that?
The fact that the stuff is digital is irrelevant. If I sell a substance via mail order, and send it to or through a country where it isn't legal, then I shouldn't be surprised if I run the risk of getting into trouble even if I am located somewhere else.
In the same way, if I approporiate someone else's digital property and sell it to someone in a foreign country, it shouldn't be a surprise that either country's legal rules would apply when the owner wants to defend themselves. The alleged wrongdoers here aren't saying they didn't do anything wrong, they're arguing about jurisdictions, which in my mind is trying to exploit uncertainty in the legal system, so this judgement actually makes it clearer by broadening the definitions (if that makes sense).
I know that digital ownership is theft to a lot of people, but that is a different question. The only question here is "can I commit a crime in the UK from a base in Austria?" and the answer is clearly "yes".
RBS IT cockup: This sort of thing can destroy a bank, normally
Re: Single sourced
Keep your expat account for a couple of months until you have proof of residence if you're moving back, otherwise just use your offshore account as normal. Not difficult at all. I used to transfer from account to account, currencies etc. without problems. Maybe you just chose the wrong bank (I was with Lloyds offshore, who are crap on many levels but clearly not this one) or the wrong country to move to.
Pretty sure that a lot of the bureaugracy and process involved with money movements (which only apply to transfers of more than a few thousand, so not relevant for normal expenditure) are international rules not just the UK, and were in response to actual money laundering ignored by the banking system (see recent stories realting to HSBC and Nigerian dictators), so don't let your bank give someone else the blame.

Assange loses appeal against extradition to Sweden
Quote: "based on both UK and EU law saying there's not enough to extradite him on."
But didn't the ruling today say he could be extradited? And wasn't it made by the UK's highest court? How can that mean that UK law says that there isn't enough to extradite?
This thread is a logic free zone.
Martha Lane Fox hits caps lock, yells at small biz websites
You have to be there! YOU DO!
Most small businesses are sole traders. Many of these are tradespeople/ professionals or serve a small local market (lots in agriculture). Another slice just want to be their own boss and don't necessarily care about growth very much.
For the rest, help is there, cheaply, for anyone who wants to do business online (and there's always Ebay, Amazon etc for small retailers who are still learning how to deal with deliveries etc) so why do we need to subsidise it and have a bunch of government types (who are so good at tech stuff) tell us about it?
Amount of ice in Bering Sea reaches all-time record
Oh dear, death by statistics
So on average we're the same re ice cover. Bad news for polar bears, good news for penguins! Averagely OK doesn't mean OK on average.
Don't quite get the logic here. Overall Arctic ice is down, but in one place it's up, which means that the doomsayers were full of it? Kind of like me turning on my shower and denying a drought because there's plenty of water in my bathromm isn't it?

0.1% is a crappy little percentage, but that's the trouble with percentages. If someone offered you 0.1% of the UK GDP as a wage, you'd sure as hell take it!
According to AEP there are 2,600 power stations in the UK (admittedly many are very small), so producing 1/1,000th isn't that bad - better than all the CCGT plants I could find, and quite a few of the Nuclear facilities as well. If it can break even economically, when the alternative is more profit but greater damage, then aren't we all better off?

UK airports to trial face scan passport checks
Re: Learn from experience!
Iris is useless, and slower than normal passport control?
B*lls. I've been using it for ages at various airports and it's always worked fine - the only glitch I've had is that I sometimes have to bend over. As noone else seems to use it it means you can bypass all of the queues - but of course this advantage would be lost if everyone had to use it.
The only reason passport control (without the queues) is so quick is because there is so little checking of UK passports happening, just a cursory glance at the picture. If we can take the same or a little more time to have a true identity check then surely that's a good thing.
PC superstore suffers breakdown over Linux notebook
One more anecdote... in case you needed any more
I use PC world fairly frequently (apologies to the "why use it if you know what you're doing" crowd, but like most people I go for convenience, especially when I can serve myself and not rely on help). I've found the people there mixed to be honest, with the most unliterate being a senior person I asked a question a couple of weeks ago.
Anyway, last time I was there I stood behind an irate customer having a rant. He'd been sold a modem or router, having been told that it would work p'n'p with his new Vista machine (don't get me started on Vista!). Suffice to say it didn't work as planned.
The Tech advice given - go back home and download the Vista drivers from the internet! Need I say more?
PS lots of opinions above re what the guy is doing wrong (re-install Wndows with a hardware issue? call Acer or PCW customer service rather than go to the shop?) some of which seem to miss the point. If you buy something and it breaks, you shouldn't have to go anywhere but where you bought it for a repair or return, and if you've used it in a reasonable way (i.e.a way that wouldn't surprise a normal user) and it fails, it doesn't work as promised, no question. Why accept poor behaviour from these people by going elsewhere or adding work for yourself. The law is seldom on our side, but in this case it is, and we shouldn't forget that fact.

Tidal Wave Lyrics - Owl City
I wish I could cross my arms, and cross your mind
Cause I believe you'd unfold your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve
All my life I wish I broke mirrors, instead of promises
Cause all I see, is a shattered conscience staring right back at me
I wish I had covered all my tracks completely cause I'm so afraid
Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train?
Lift your arms only heaven knows, where the danger grows
And it's safe to say there's a bright light up ahead and help is on the way
(Help is on the way, Help is on the way, Help is on the way...)
Help is on the way
I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity
Cause it came down like a tidal wave, and sorrow swept over me
Depression, please cut to the chase and cut a long story short
Oh please be done. How much longer can this drama afford to run?
Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties and breaks whatever doesn't bend
But sadly then, all my heavy hopes just pull me back down again
(Back down again, back down again, back down again...)
I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity
Cause it came down like a tidal wave, and sorrow swept over me
Then I was given grace and love, I was blind but now I can see
Cause I found a new hope from above, and courage swept over me
It hurts just to wake up, whenever you're wearing thin
Alone on the outside, so tired of looking in
The end is uncertain and I've never been so afraid
But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope
And that makes me feel brave

Brazil, 2012 (MIFF 2012, Through the Labyrinth: New Latin American Cinema)
Director: Kleber Mendonça Filho
"Superbly constructed, skillfully acted and beautifully lensed... That Filho can juggle so many important issues without being heavyhanded or dropping even one speaks volumes about his strengths as scripter, helmer and co-editor." - Variety
A multitude of lives intersect, collide and unravel amidst the claustrophobic surrounds of an upscale Recife apartment complex in Neighbouring Sounds, the debut full-length feature from Brazilian writer-director Kleber Mendonça Filho.
From the middle-class anomie of housewife Beatriz to the unruly family of complex major-domo Francisco and aspiring private security contractor Clodoaldo, Filho constructs a riveting cross-section of contemporary Brazilian society at a time when rapid economic progress is throwing the certainties of old into disarray. Affectionately told, precisely executed and sumptuously shot, Neighbouring Sounds is an assured work from a powerful new voice in Brazilian cinema.
Winner of the FIPRESCI Award at the Rotterdam Film Festival.

Gender Equality Convention in Istanbul: A more equal world for all
In order to intensify the efforts in the field of gender equality in Turkey, the International Gender Equality Convention with the theme of "Role of Equality Commissions for a More Equal World for All" has been organized by Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA) Equal Opportunities Commission for Woman and Man in cooperation with UNDP Turkey in İstanbul in late March.
New Horizons - Celebrating the second anniversary of TGNA Equal Opportunities Commission for Woman and Man, the Convention was held with the participation of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, aiming to contribute to the enrichment and diversification of the efforts for mainstreaming gender equality in all levels of decision making and daily lives of the citizens.
The convention brought together representatives of international community working on gender equality including different institutions of the United Nations; European Parliament; Inter-Parliamentary Union; Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union and chairpersons of the equal opportunities commissions of parliaments and ombudsmen from various countries with parliamentarians and representatives of the media, arts, public and private sectors and civil society organizations.
Istanbul convention provided an opportunity to share national and international experiences of mainstreaming gender equality in all stages of policy formulation and implementation, raising awareness on the issue and functioning of institutions.
The convention also hosted president of UN Women Michelle Bachelet, minister for the equal opportunities of Italy Maria Rosaria Carfagna and head of the mission of the League of Arab States Mohammed El Fatah Naciri.
The convention that contained seven separate sessions resulted in discussion and collection of updated information about recent trends, developments and challenges with respect to gender equality in decision and policy making processes; engagement of stakeholders; women participation in labor force; women's access to education and role of gender equality commissions and media in creating a gender sensitive society.
Some results
In that respect, the Convention has yielded important results as per the session discussions including but not limited to the following:
• The vulnerability of women is universal since gender inequality is seen in every spheres of life all over the world;
• Gender inequality is a human rights issue and it is crucial to make a special focus on the promotion of women's rights;
• Special measures should be taken for employment of women in public sector;
• Gender Equality Commissions should have direct relations and effective collaboration with other stakeholders in the field of gender equality. In that respect, it was strongly emphasized that the Commissions should have an independent budget.
• It is crucial that there is a considerable raise in the awareness on gender equality when compared to 10 years before. However, the issue should be discussed accurately and strategically in order not to lose its importance;
• In media, women are often present as an object and rarely as a subject;
• Speaking about equality is an important indicator of inequality in a society.
With regards to gender equality and role of parliaments, particularly gender equality commissions, the participants discussed the possible means to make gender sensitive politics, gender sensitive parliaments and societies. In addition; it was also strongly emphasized that women should not be seen as victims or passive actors of change or recipients of aids but instead actors and leaders for change.
Will be repeated annually
The International Convention on Gender Equality is considered to be the first step of establishing a sustainable knowledge and experience sharing network among gender equality commissions around the globe and expected to be repeated every year hosted by different countries.
The results of the convention will also be brought together in a publication and will be disseminated to national and international actors in the field of gender equality.

See the Cast of 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' Then and Now
'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' was the first John Hughes-directed film to focus on adults, rather than teenagers.
In the 1987 comedy, Steve Martin and John Candy play business travelers with the very adult problem of trying to get home during the crush of Thanksgiving travel. The mismatched pair get into a variety of misadventures during their three day trip from New York to Chicago. When they finally arrive, the film ends on a touching Thanksgiving-appropriate note.
See the Cast of 'Say Anything' Then and Now
When one thinks of 'Say Anything...,' John Cusak, holding a boom box above his head and serenading Ione Skye with the Peter Gabriel song 'In Your Eyes' likely comes to mind.
But beyond that iconic scene, Cameron Crowe's directorial debut is perhaps one of the most well-crafted and nuanced teen romantic comedies of all time.

In 'The Monster Squad,' a gang of monster movie-obsessed adolescents end up waging an epic battle against the ghouls they idolized after they learn that Dracula, Frankenstein, et al. are real.
