Eden Newman must mate before her 18th birthday in six months or she'll be left outside to die in a burning world. But who will pick up her mate-option when she's cursed with white skin and a tragically low mate-rate of 15%? In a post-apocalyptic, totalitarian, underground world where class and beauty are defined by resistance to an overheated environment, Eden's coloring brands her as a member of the lowest class, a weak and ugly Pearl. If only she can mate with a dark-skinned Coal from the ruling class, she'll be safe. Just maybe one Coal sees the Real Eden and will be her salvation her co-worker Jamal has begun secretly dating her. But when Eden unwittingly compromises her father's secret biological experiment, she finds herself in the eye of a storm and thrown into the last area of rainforest, a strange and dangerous land. Eden must fight to save her father, who may be humanity's last hope, while standing up to a powerful beast-man she believes is her enemy, despite her overwhelming attraction. Eden must change to survive but only if she can redefine her ideas of beauty and of love, along with a little help from her "adopted aunt" Emily Dickinson.
It's not every day I get to review a book whose series title is literally "Save the Whites."
It's also not quite every day that I encounter a YA dystopia whose basic premise comes down to "white girls must 'mate' with black men by eighteen or they'll be executed." Victoria Foyt, incidentally, believes herself to be an enlightened human being who wants everyone to live in a "color-free" world. Oh, if you're wondering why the girl on the front cover is one half Aryan and the other half black (literally), be puzzled no more: she's wearing blackface. Yes, that's a promotional video. I understand there are forty-nine of those on youtube.
When I first read one of those blog entries my initial thought was, "Well, that's kind of crypto-racist, isn't it?" On further reading though, it turns out this is just plain ol' racism with nothing crypto about it. Revealing Eden, you see, is a white supremacist fantasy written by a white person who has the vapors when she contemplates what'd happen if things went upside down and POC get the chance to treat whiteys the way whiteys have been treating everyone else since times immemorial.
The answer, for Foyt anyway, is "Black people will rise up and oppress the shit out of everyone, including other POC, but mostly white people." (Is this called "Black Peril"?) In interviews and blog posts, Foyt calls the black love interest in her book "beastly" or "bestial" about ten thousand times. He turns into a jaguar-man with hairy arms. The cat eyes against the jungle background on the cover are meant to represent him. Is anyone getting uncomfortable here?
I'd joke about Foyt's KKK club card, but she considers herself liberal. If there was a dictionary entry for "fauxgressive," then a link to her blog ought to be it. Foyt, incidentally, self-published this dreck but she's otherwise a "real author" in the sense that her other work was published by HarperCollins. Inverarity has covered some of it, but I've read further–some 100 pages out of 250–so it, I guess, falls to me to venture beyond the first chapter. Fucking fuck.
Had Peach forgotten that Eden's skin only had a dark coating? Maybe she was passing, after all.
Oh me oh my. I don't think Foyt's insight into whitening creams and straightening hair is as deep as she thinks. I'll pause here and note that Foyt decided to name a "plump" black woman "Peach."
In that quiet, treasured space, she allowed herself one small but true thought: I hate them.
And yet, if only Eden were one of them, she'd be beautiful and safe.
The "them" that she hates is black people. Remember that the character is a blonde blue-eyed girl and the author is white.
A familiar rush of pleasure, mixed with fear, coursed through her at the sight of the white girl. Images of Pearls in natural coloring were forbidden. If they caught Eden looking, she would be punished.
And yet, she couldn't resist watching the pale, slim girl bounce a multi-colored ball over to a young man who was also white-skinned. She wore a polka-dot bikini—all that skin exposed! Nearby, other whites lounged on thick towels or cabana chairs, or played cards at tables out in broad daylight!
She's… literally celebrating a picture of white people. Because it depicts whites. Recall that the series' title is "Save the Whites." Now here I'm going to ask: why do these images even survive? For what reason are they kept, if they're illegal? Why are they accessible to a "lowly" white? Why doesn't Victoria Foyt have a brain?
Ms. Polka-Dot Bikini was Eden's kind, right down to her long blond hair and big blue eyes. And yet, according to the antique Beauty Map, she had been prized for her beauty—which meant, if Eden had been born in an earlier time, she too might have been beautiful.
Me? Eden Newman, beautiful? No matter how often she studied the precious map she couldn't imagine it. She was a lowly Pearl, worth nothing in a world ruled by dark-skinned Coals.
And, again, why is there a "Beauty Map" to chronicle beauty standards throughout the ages? Did the white imperialists make one and hand them to the POC they colonized? Just a hunch: they didn't. And, again, this obsession with people's "kind." This particular passage becomes very specific–blonde and blue-eyed is Eden's kind. Basically, her "kind" is the Aryan ideal. This is a world where white girls who don't mate by eighteen (preferably to blacks) are thrown out to cook in "the Heat."
There's also the contrast which gets reiterated throughout the text between the slurs "Pearl" and "Coal." Why would the ruling class give devolved whites a semi-precious gem for a slur? Why does the ruling class in turn get called "Coals"?
That bitch Ashina was now fifteen minutes late and Eden wanted to take her break. She glanced around the lab, hoping for a sign of the haughty Coal.
Eden calls a black woman "bitch" a lot. More about that when I get around to a close textual analysis.
Because of his high intelligence scores, they had overlooked his race and given him the position of lead scientist at Resources for Environmental Adaptation, or REA. [...] With smug satisfaction, she considered the dozens of assistants—gorgeous dark-skinned Coals, every last one of them—who labored in a warren of workstations below the operating theater.
Does this make sense to anyone? Whites are the lowest of the low in this setting. Yet magically her white father's given a leading position where he supervises a bunch of black scientists. There's also the implication that a white man stands out as a singular genius so amazing that no black researcher may compare, because otherwise there's no way in shit he'd have gotten the position. So the smartest person around in this setting? A white man.
She smoothed a hand over her long black hair to reassure herself. Like her skin, the layers of dark coating—Midnight Luster—she'd worn since birth had turned it dry and crackly. A small price to pay for beauty and for protection. She had to cover her white skin or risk antagonizing the Coals.
Annnnd blackface. This is just fucking tiresome, and not really how it works IRL for POC trying to conform to a white supremacist beauty standards. There's just no subtlety to this, no understanding.
a glance at her nemesis, envious of the beauty's easy confidence. Voluptuous, with raisin-colored skin, everything about Ashina screamed ruling class.
We've got the protagonist, a virginal blonde blue-eyed girl on one hand, pitted against her "nemesis": a voluptuous, sexually confident black woman whom said Aryan protagonist repeatedly calls "bitch." Anyone getting uncomfortable? And what the fuck is "raisin-colored skin"? How does that work? Does Foyt think black people are purple? Has she never seen one and just decided they look like this?
How many times had Eden heard it? White people were lazy good-for-nothings with weak genetics.
Uh, but in this setting they are genetically predisposed to weakness since they can't survive against "the Heat" (never mind that the science of that is shot all to hell), so… what? It's an objective truth. Whereas, you know, a similar racist statement about black people in our world is not. Unless Foyt thinks it is and therefore analogous.
Eden flinched. One of them was touching her. White-hot light exploded in her head. Before she knew it, she blurted out an incendiary racial slur.
"Get your hands off of me, you damn Coal!"
Wait, what? In this world black people are the epitome of beauty, desirability, and all-around wonderfulness. But instead Eden reacts like a white person living in an apartehid–the moment one of them touches her she freaks the fuck out and screams a racist insult at them, she's just that disgusted by blackness. Shit like this is why Foyt's idiotic "BUT I AM CHALLENGING RACISM" has zero credence.
The workers jerked to their feet, the screech of chairs against the floor raking across Eden's heart. She looked around the room in a panic. Even those whom she thought tolerated her presence hurled racial epithets.
"Earth-damned Pearl!"
"White Death!"
The angry mob lurched towards Eden, just like in her nightmares. The Coals were going to kill her. They would drag her outside and leave her to cook in the sun.
So, we've got a scene where a bunch of black people attempt to lynch a white girl, a scene in which moreover is a nightmare come true for her suggesting that she's been fixating on this a lot. Note, again, that their idea of a slur against white is "Pearls" when it could've been any number of actual derogatory words–even "honky" and "whitey" have more power than fucking "Pearls," which is–you know–a SEMI-PRECIOUS STONE. Your bias is showing, Victoria Foyt. Stop lying; go apply for a KKK club card.
She searched for the right words when Ashina strode up beside her.
"She attacked me, sir," the bitch said, acting the injured party.
To Eden's surprise, Bramford questioned the little actress. "Is that so, Ashina?"
A Coal's word outweighed a Pearl's. Always. And yet Bramford hesitated.
There we go again with "bitch." We then learn that, for some reason, girls have to "mate"–that obsession with the word–by eighteen, men by twenty-four. This makes no sense, particularly in light of the world-building sketchiness about how resources are scarce ("oxy pills", water, etc). Why does the "Uni-Gov" urge people to reproduce? Why are whites even allowed to reproduce? Shouldn't they have become extinct ages ago? The real reason obviously is that Foyt genuinely cannot imagine a future in which blonde blue-eyed whites are completely gone, since she's a giant racist, but by internal consistency this is such shit logic.
"Shen," Bramford called his bodyguard, a mixed Asian, or Amber, as the racist term went.
[...] Only true Coals were allowed to hold security positions. Of course, Bramford could use his clout to bypass such rules. Still, why not pick a Tiger's Eye, or Latino? They ranked higher in the race wars than Ambers, who stood above Pearls. Was it the touch of Coal in Shen that gave him an edge?
Why is there a "race war"? Why does everyone but black people have a "racist term" attached to them that's a semi-precious stone? Come to that, how come there are still purebred whites running around–let alone ones with recessive traits like blonde hair and blue eyes?
Eden thought Jamal was special. Unlike most of his kind, he was color-blind.
See this is funny because people who say they are "color-blind" tend to be fauxgressive crypto-racist whites. Jamal turns out to be a high-ranking member of "the dreaded Federation of Free People, a militant organization of Coals that vowed to rid the planet of Pearls." OHOHO.
The hair on the back of Eden's neck prickled. Did the nosey bitch suspect her hidden connection to Jamal? Coals often killed Pearls who seduced their kind.
There we go again with–never mind, I give up.
"I see your mate-rate is below average," she said. "And yet, a few of your kind have offered to pick up your option. Tell me, Eden Newman, why have you refused them?"
[...] Was it the low level of oxy in Eden's system or her lingering anger over Bramford's lies that drove her to speak her mind for once in her life?
"Because I don't want my child to be all Pearl. I'd rather be dead than mate with one of my kind."
If Eden's internalized this, then the sentiment she expresses must be fairly common–which, again, prompts one to ask: just how is it possible that purebred whites like Eden are still around? Does there exist some sort of underground movement to keep the Aryan ideal alive?
A Pink Pearl, she was fairer than Eden, and therefore even more susceptible to The Heat. But she'd been lax about coating. Minor rebellions keep the heart alive, she would say.
—Austin is colorblind, Eden. He responds to love and kindness. Remember what Aunt Emily said? 'That Love is all there is, / Is all we know of Love.' Promise me you won't forget. Love is like a gentle wind that will open your heart if you let it.
How have "Pink Pearls" survived, if apparently their red-haired whiteness is even more susceptible to death than the blonde-haired blue-eyed type? How many fucking times "colorblind" will come up in this book (and they're talking about a dog here, so double the laughter)?
He often skipped meals, which, along with his genetics, made him rail thin. If Eden weren't careful she'd be just as skinny, and even less desirable.
So, this is Foyt's ham-fisted, abortive attempt at engaging with today's beauty ideals–in Eden's future, the "voluptuous" black woman is the ideal, the one that "screams ruling class." Except that's the dystopian part of this awful, terrible dystopia where the uppity black folks have risen up to oppress the whites: like the deal with Eden being oppressed, this is presented as a harrowing condition. The nostalgia Eden expresses towards the holograms of white girls suggests that that is how the world should return to being, by implication if not explicit statement. There's no attempt to engage with that beyond "the way it is now, for me, is bad and makes it so hard to be a thin blonde blue-eyed girl." There's no acknowledgment that in our real world, right now, it's pretty fucking hard to be a "voluptuous" black woman. There's no effort at empathy, despite the fact that Eden has access to the "beauty map" that chronicles beauty standards throughout the ages.
Victoria Foyt, your colors are showing through that "midnight luster," if you know what I mean, and it's oh so white.
Now, the good stuff, she thought, dialing in a fresh coating of Midnight Luster. Her spirits lifted as her skin and hair darkened to a lustrous shade of black. Water would cause the coating to streak, which was easy enough to avoid in her dry, tunneled world. And in a few days the coat would turn dull and gray—a dead giveaway she was a Pearl.
But for now, she looked beautiful.
Applying her makeup, Eden expertly shaded her face to appear Coal-like. She refreshed the brown caps in her eyes with darkening drops. Red lipstick, smoothed over the lines to make her lips seem fuller, was the last touch. She let her long black hair dip over one eye and smiled.
"Definitely passing, right?"
So we've got a world with limited resources, based underground. How is this stuff being manufactured? How can a "lowly Pearl" like Eden get access to it–shouldn't it be expensive and viciously sought after by whites? And isn't this terrible and devoid of nuances? Imagine how much better it'd have been handled if a writer of color wrote it. "Definitely passing, right?" No, Foyt, you aren't passing for shit except as a giant racist dingbat.
I get it. You don't think I like your blue eyes, right? You're wrong about that. Maybe some day you'll let me see the real you, Eden Newman.
It is so hard to have the bluest eye. I'd like to think Foyt is aware that Toni Morrison's book exists, but it's hard to imagine her being aware of anything but how enlightened, progressive and "color-blind" she is.
Never mind, she simply had to reach the regional plaza where her Dark Prince waited.
If dark is the norm–the ruling norm even–why does she call him her "Dark Prince" instead of just her prince? Nobody calls Prince Charming in fairytales "the Aryan Prince."
Luckily, she found a few inches of space to hold onto the overhead bar in the back section reserved for Pearls.
Oh hoo boy. "See," Victoria Foyt seems to crow, "I understand racism! Eden Newman is my blonde-haired blue-eyed Rosa Parks! Do you understand racism now? DO YOU????"
She felt a malevolent current coursing through the riders on the transport. Not only from Coal to Pearl, or from Tiger's Eye to Amber, but within each racial group. The Uni-Gov got it wrong. The monthly Moon Dance usually left a wake of mayhem throughout each zone.
Jesus, is this what she thinks present-day racial relations function? Save us from her writing lengthy essays on horizontal oppression.
Possibly, man's only hope lay at Eden's very own doorstep. She recalled the thrill of piecing together the puzzle of her father's experiment. Each researcher had been given one small part of the process to prevent the very discovery she had made. Eden, being the best interpreter of her father's notes, had filled in once too often for ill coworkers and the result was inevitable.
Remember, "man's only hope" is something a white man is cooking up and the best high priestess to interpret this work is his daughter, a white girl. Because everyone else is too dim to appreciate his genius (and indeed no POC is ever as smart as he, white man).
The primary genetic donor was the ultimate jungle predator, a jaguar, Panthera onca. Even better, a melanistic cat with a black coat had been found. Its coloring would not only increase resistance to solar radiation, but also minimize the appearance of camouflage spots, for vanity's sake. The jaguar's only natural enemy, the green anaconda, Eunectes murinus, contributed its cold-blooded resistance to heat. The third donor in this potent cocktail was the Harpy Eagle, Harpia
harpyja, the most powerful raptor in the world. It could spot a bug from a hundred yards in the air, and its keen vision had been added to the mix.
Land, water, and air—a brilliant killing machine.
If her father's work succeeded, a Pearl might be able to withstand solar radiation as well as, or even better than, a Coal. Maybe then Pearls would no longer be treated like garbage. And maybe—did Eden dare think it—even she might be beautiful.
That's not how it works, you fucking dolt. Today whites are already the numerical minority, and whites are more susceptible to some sickness than others. Guess what though? They still haven't become the underclass. As has been pointed elsewhere, when "the Meltdown" happened the people with the best access to protection/medical care… would have been white westerners. This scenario assumes power predicates on physical fitness, when that's never been the case among humans. Next, what the fuck is this? The white man's genius plan is to mix a bunch of random animal DNA with a human's to create a super-being, which will somehow save them from being killed by… radiation?
How does that even fucking work? Are these particular animals able to survive in radiation? What the fuck is this shit?
Little Pearly whirly,
lost inside the mines;
tossed from Coal to Coal,
in fear, she whines,
"I'm sorry, Mother,
he said he only wanted
to see my white skin shine."
We've gone from the previous scene where a bunch of black scientists tried to lynch a white girl to a poem about how a bunch of black miners are sexually assaulting a white girl. VICTORIA FOYT, PRESENT YOUR KKK CLUB CARD THIS INSTANT.
Giant smiled, his eyes roving over her body. He leaned over her, and Eden felt sick as his wet mouth landed on her neck. He pulled back, smiling again when a crazed look came into his eyes. She knew that look all too well; every Pearl dreaded it. Her hand flew to the spot on her neck where the seam in her dark coating had cracked open. Mother Earth, her white skin showed.
And now, we have a huge black man–"Giant"!–who literally sexually assaults the Aryan girl. Remember what Foyt said about being "color blind"?
From the corner of her eye she saw the hopeful beauties shift impatiently. [...]
"Thank you for your help, sir," Eden said, trying to pull away. "You can go now."
Bramford seemed amused and held her tight. "Are you dismissing me?"
Why did he always make her feel so small?
"I said thanks."
"You don't want to dance with me? Is that it?"
She felt tongue-tied with his warm body next to hers. "Those women are waiting for you," she managed to say.
"Let them wait. Unless you'd rather we stopped?"
So far, every woman in this book except Eden is a "bitch" (Ashina), slow (Peach) or desperate to ensnare a rich man. To be fair, Eden is also desperate to get a black man to "mate" with her–but note how every other woman is presented as vapid, vicious, slutty, or in some way inferior unlike the wonderful, genuine Eden who's driven to desire "mating" with black men only due to her awful circumstances.
Even here, Bramford had stamped the upholstery with his ego-driven logo. How had he obtained the leather, anyway, when the world treated its scant remaining livestock like gods?
Yeah, how? And we're back to that point about scarcity. Why are the whites, if they're so despised, given anything? Remember how in the real world black people were enslaved, raped, and treated as subhuman–and that's when they were considered free labor? In this world whites literally have no goddamn use and only take up valuable space, oxygen and water. By all rights they should've already been wiped out or disallowed to breed. "The image of her dying mother, desperate for a drink of water, burned in her mind," quoth Eden. Why is any white at all ever given any water whatsoever?
Eden watched as a mob tied the screaming albino to a funeral pyre. It was the only time she'd seen Coals and Pearls united in action. The Cotton's white skin and hair stood out among his attackers; his pinkish eyes pleaded for help. Strange how she didn't feel deep hatred for the albino, as she had been taught in school. She might even feel sorry for the poor boy.
Do you see, it is so hard to be pale. The paler, the harder. And… cotton? Shouldn't a world in which resources are scarce values cotton? Why would you use that as a fucking slur?
The book's been given a good thrashing on the Racebending tumblr. One Mark has also subjected himself to a reading. Victoria Foyt has desperately tried to fend off all charges of racism on Facebook, though without much success since the comments are 90% people telling her to fuck off to the far end of a cliff. She's now said that judging a book by its cover is exactly like racism. Stay tuned for part two, whenever I can be arsed to pick up this vapid tripe.

Tibet activists outraged at life sentence for Uighur academic Ilham Tohti
Tibet campaigners expressed outrage at the life sentence handed to Uighur academic Ilham Tohti today in Urumqi for "separatism". Ilham Tohti, winner of the 2014 PEN Barbara Goldsmith Freedom to Write Award [1], is a prominent human rights defender who was detained after launching a website questioning human rights violations against Uighurs and promoting dialogue between Uighurs and Han Chinese.
"This sentence is an outrage and demonstrates how shockingly out of step China is with the free, democratic world, silencing anyone daring to express opinions that do not conform to the State's view," said Alison Reynolds, Executive Director of International Tibet Network. [2] "Whilst Ilham Tohti was being tried last week, the people of Scotland were flocking to the polls in a peaceful exercise to determine the future of their nation. What a contrast with China, where Uighurs, Tibetans and Chinese dissidents alike are given hefty sentences for simply questioning China's policies."
According to his lawyer, Li Fangping, Ilham called out 'It's not just, it's not just' as he was dragged out of court. Li Fangping told BBC Chinese, "He told us that no matter the verdict, he will not be angry nor seek revenge. No matter whether he is in jail or if he is freed in the future, he will still advocate for dialogue between Uighurs and Han Chinese." [3] Ilham Tohti plans to appeal the sentence. Chinese State Media (Xinhua) reported "The Court heard that [he] spread lessons containing separatist thoughts via the website, Uygur Online. He bewitched and coerced young ethnic students to work for the website and built a criminal syndicate, according to the ruling." [4]
Tibetan blogger and close friend Tsering Woeser, interviewed by Ian Johnson before the verdict, [5] said "They [Chinese authorities] want evidence that he's advocated independence in his teaching or given away secrets. I went and visited his wife and she said the students were so good. They all said that Teacher Ilham isn't like that—he never taught us those things. So I think it's hard for them to find a charge that will stick."
After today's sentencing Woeser tweeted "Heartache". [6] Her husband, dissident writer and scholar Wang Lixiong, tweeted "the authorities created a Uighur Mandela". [7] Amnesty International has called the verdict "deplorable". [8]
Prior to his trial, Ilham said "I am not going anywhere. The issues facing the Uighur are in China, and the resolution of these issues is also in China. If I have to be imprisoned, then I will remain in a Chinese prison. After my release from prison, I will still be in China seeking a future for the Uighurs. If I die, I have only one desire: to be buried in my hometown. It would be enough of a solace for me." [9]

Rheumatic fever is a serious illness, which in New Zealand most often affects Māori and Pacific children and young adults, aged 4–19 years.
This section provides information about what is being done by the Ministry, through its Rheumatic Fever Prevention Programme (RFPP), and by the health sector to address rheumatic fever. It also provides links to information for health professionals.
Latest media updates
10 July 2014: More than 3,300 visits to free sore throat clinics
6 June 2014: Fight against rheumatic fever shifts up a gear
1 May 2014: Budget 2014: Additional $20 to help fight rheumatic fever
20 February 2014: More children protected from preventable diseases
19 Febraury 2014: Rheumatic fever housing prioritisation extended
8 July 2013 – Ministers' press release: New Zealand children getting better start to life
6 May 2013 – Budget 2013: Additional $21.3m to fight rheumatic fever
What is rheumatic fever?
Children and young people are the most likely to get rheumatic fever. It occurs after a 'strep throat' – a throat infection caused by a Group A Streptococcus (GAS) bacteria.
Most strep throats gets better and don't lead to rheumatic fever. However, in a small number of people an untreated strep throat develops into rheumatic fever, where their heart, joints, brain and skin become inflamed and swollen.
While the symptoms of rheumatic fever may disappear on their own, the inflammation can cause rheumatic heart disease, where there is scarring of the heart valves.
People with rheumatic heart disease may need heart valve replacement surgery, and it can cause premature death.
In 2013, 194 people were admitted to hospital for the first time with rheumatic fever.
Sore throat? – action to take
If you live in a high risk area or are Māori or Pacific and have a sore throat, please see a doctor or nurse quickly. There are throat swabbing programmes running in many primary and intermediate schools in high risk areas. If your doctor or nurse thinks you may have strep throat, you'll be given antibiotics to clear up the infection before it can develop into rheumatic fever. It's important to take the full course of antibiotics to stop the infection.
What is happening to address rheumatic fever?
The Ministry of Health is working to cut New Zealand's incidence of rheumatic fever. The Ministry's aim is that no ethnic groups or geographical communities should be disadvantaged with higher rates of rheumatic fever.
Key areas of work
The Ministry's Rheumatic Fever Prevention Programme was established to prevent or treat Group A Streptococcal infection which can lead to rheumatic fever in high risk individuals and communities.
It is doing this by:
|Prevent the transmission of Strep A sore throats
|Auckland-wide Healthy Homes Initiative
|Systematically identifying children living in the Auckland area who are at risk of developing rheumatic fever and offering a package of housing-related interventions to reduce their risks.
|Community awareness raising about healthy communal living
|Improving healthy communal living for Pacific families through home visiting and supporting church networks.
|Treat Strep A sore throats quickly and effectively
|School-based throat swabbing programme
|Providing school-based throat swabbing services in the 10 DHB areas with the highest incidence of rheumatic fever: Northland, Auckland, Counties Manukau, Waitemata, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Tairāwhiti, Lakes, Hawkes Bay and Capital & Coast.
|Sore throat management in primary and community care
|Providing access to rapid sore throat management in areas where there are large numbers of cases (particularly where there are no school-based services) and improving the management of sore throats in high-risk children across the country.
|Increase health literacy amongst professionals and the public
|Delivering a communications campaign to raise awareness of sore throats and rheumatic fever among vulnerable communities and supporting them to take action to protect their children.
Developing training and resources such as online learning modules for professionals.

After two wins in the KLM Open and victory in the Enjoy Jakarta HSBC Indonesia Open, he claimed the biggest title of his career when he won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at the 'Home of Golf'. His success at St Andrews – his second victory of the 2009 season after the KLM Open – took him into the World's top 50 for the first time and helped him to eighth in The Race to Dubai. Made his mark on the global stage with his joint sixth place in the 2007 US PGA Championship, his first top ten in a Major, following his two victories the previous season. Narrowly missed out on adding to those victories in 2007 when he lost out in a play-off to Justin Rose in the season-ending Volvo Masters. Best placed finish off 2008 came at the Maybank Malaysian Open, where he finished third. Comes from a family with a rich sporting pedigree. His grandfather was a jockey; dad, John, is a bookmaker and his uncle, Terry, played in Tottenham's double-winning team in 1960-61. Encouraged to take up golf by his older brother, Nick. Made steady progress and achieved a scratch rating by the age of 16. Runner-up in the English Amateur Championship in 1999 but won the Finnish Amateur title and was a member of the Great Britain and Ireland side which won the Walker Cup at Nairn that year. Turned professional in September 1999. A promising footballer on the books of York City and Scarborough as a teenager, gained second card in the Asian PGA Tour School in January 2000 and broke through by winning three titles on his way to Asian Tour Rookie of the Year honors, Player of the Year and Order of Merit.

A Nutritionist Dishes on How To Drop That Winter Weight
We visited the NYC kitchen of the celebrity chef and nutritionist behind Food Matters, Tricia Williams, who gave us a foolproof food plan that will have you feeling great (and shedding pounds!) just in time for summer.
By Alyssa Vingan
Instead of Butter, Try Coconut Oil
"Even though coconut oil is a saturated fat, theres plenty of evidence that it contains medium and long-chain fatty acids, which help you burn fat. Its anti-microbial, so it has lots of healing properties, too. I also love to bake with it it keeps moisture in whatever you bake."

Fred Wilson posed an interesting question recently on his blog - where should mobile developers focus? While we all have our favorites in such debates, common sense has to emerge to make a proper business decision. The most useful bit of information is the following chart showing the current state of smartphone share, from comScore:
If I can only target one platform, smart decisions are needed here. I don't want to be targetting Blackberrry devices if RIM is losing market share. Similarly, is it safe to bet on Apple when you consider Android's progression over the last year?
If we've learn anything though, past performance does not provide future guarantees. There are some recent trends to consider:
- Although Android is popular now, has it reached it's peak?
- Would Apple be more successful this time around if they didn't have the antenna issue?
- With Windows Phone 7, are Microsoft poised to disrupt the market further?

text: FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail Six years ago still seems like yesterday. The sequence of events that morning are still vivid in my mind. I remember walking to the student center at the university and seeing what was happening; a campus of 30,000 all cramming themselves around the few TV's that they could find. I watched in horror as the events unfolded. Then, in my state of shock, I began to fear for myself, as other students started making comments about how Osama did it…looking at me, brown and bearded. I still grieve for the victims of this tragedy. How can one not grieve when a fellow human being loses a loved one, a family member, a son, a daughter, a wife, or a mother. It is a grief that saddens the heart, especially when we feel it so close to home. I thought I would take this opportunity to share a video response to the new OBL video, as well as some other reflections on what occurred on this day. Dr. Ali Shehata has posted this video response to Bin Laden's new video, please view and continue reading the post, The following video from Suheir Hammad on Def Poetry Jam is a really good post 9/11 reflection.

Let's boot up... through the square window.

There, much better.

Sanest thing they've said in a while...
Apple, Samsung brass hats' patent spat chitchat falls flat
Re: So in other words
It's probably safe to say that whoever wins, it'll go to appeal and get decided further up. Despite the circus (complete with clowns) this is really just a bit of legal foreplay: Peeking at each other briefs, if you like.
Google loads Moto Mobility cannon, fires patent shells at Apple
"If they all look alike another, how's than innovative?"
So you're saying Apple haven't innovated since 2007? 'Cause the iphones all look pretty much the same.

Re: Karma.
Nokia started it in October 2009.
You're kidding, right?
I reckon it's a cunning ploy by Kodak...
...to destroy every tech company simultaneously.
Disney sitcom says open source is insecure
Probably best not to over think it...
Pass my Slazenger v500, would you?
That's Nickelodeon, not Disney...
...iCarly, Victorious etc.
It troubles me that I posses this information.
Re: ""Did you use open source code to save time, and the virus was hidden in it?""
Upvoted for the sheer pedantry, but to be fair I don't check the ≈8 million lines of Chromium every time there's an update. Or even compile it myself...
I would care...
...but anyone getting software advice from a Disney kids show is probably going to end up with Windows 8 anyway.
As an aside, it it wrong that I want to smack that kid with a cricket bat?
'G-Cloud is nothing more than a suppliers' website'
I reckon ".pron" would be safe...
...Y'know, websites dedicated to pronunciation, accents and colloquialisms.
For instance:
Deep-throat.pron: discussion board for comparing guttural consonants (g, k, x etc.)
Blow-job.pron: An in-depth look at Silbo Gomero, the whistled language of the Canary Islands.
Cunning-linguists.pron: Social networking.
Two-girls-one-kup.pron: Two researches look at how language has evolved in the Polish town of Kup since its annexation from Germany.
Safe, I reckon.
Paris, because isn't it odd she doesn't pronounce it "pa'ree" like the French?
Raspberry Pi now comes in Firefox OS flavour

Chinese man blows off hands, builds new pair
Re: A foot in it somewhere....
Sounds like a cleverdick to me.
Lemme get this straight.
He blows off his own hands while fishing, then makes new ones (presumably with with his feet)?
I can't decide is this should be filed under 'Epic Fail' or 'Epic Win'... :s
Actually, given the "love normally" comment, I think I'll just file it under 'Epic WTF'.
Apple lawyer: 'I promise I am not smoking crack'
The movie of this is going to be a trilogy, I just know it.
I wonder when thr box set will be out?
Windows 8: Microsoft's tablet-desktop still painful to swallow
The mere prospect of coding on W8 fills me with a deep, nameless terror
"There are horrors beyond life's edge that we do not suspect, and once in a while man's evil prying calls them just within our range."
-- H.P. Lovecraft, The Thing on the
Doorstep Desktop
Never thought of myself as "fearless torrenter" before...
...I may have to get a badge made up.
Having tried the RTM for a few days, all I can say is: It's still wank.
The Tifkam/desktop schizophrenia still reminds me of a digital Jekyll and Hyde (I wonder which one is the sociopathic killer?), Tifkam's eclectic collection of default factiods is still fucking annoying ("Welcome to your new operating system. Here's the weather for New York! And travel info for Paris! Hey, Julian Assange is trending! lets go over to the stock market...") and, of course, it still looks like fruit salad vomit.
And that's without going near the built-for-touch-pity-you-can't interface and the what-is-this-hierarchy-you-speak-of organisation.
It's like getting your leg humped by a hyperactive puppy that has just eaten your tax return and shat in your slipper: It's really cute unless you have to live with the little fucker.
Judge begs Apple, Samsung to get a room, or trial will end in tears
"...both companies could be in trouble if they leave the decision up to the panel of ordinary folk, who certainly aren't intellectual property experts."
Would these "intellectual property experts" be the ones beavering away with shovels at the bottom of this giant hole?
Assange's fate to be revealed at high noon
He could be issued a diplomatic passport, but...
...that does not automatically grant diplomatic immunity - legally, it carries as much weight and standing as a frequent flyer card.
And if Ecuador claim he has diplomatic immunity, that doesn't give him carte blanche to do what he likes: Hollywood not withstanding, it generally only applies to work-related activities. Article 31(c) of the Vienna Convention specifically leaves him open to legal embuggerment for anything he's done outside of official Ecuadorian business.
Basically, he's stuck in their basement unless he can sneak out - although they could stick him in a crate and lable it "diplomatic baggage" - google "Umaro Dikko".
US appeal dismissed in Dotcom case
Re: "...in his or her ability..."
The judge was actually talking in general about the Bill of Rights at that point (follow the link, see sec. 117 of the PDF if you're really bored). It's El Reg's editing that makes it look a little androgynous.
Although, in my opinion, Kim is a total arse (seriously, what sort of tosser changes his name to 'Dotcom'? ) and is probably as guilty as hell, it's nice to see the courts tell MPAA and RIAA to fuck off.
Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote Control review

Cloud support brings WikiLeaks back online
"I am in the process of finding the actual IP..."
Interesting for a spokesman to start using the singular first person. Did his friend have to go home for tea or something?
SCO keeps dying, and dying, and dying
I've seen this film...
We need to keep shooting until we run out of bullets, then chop its head off, then set fire to what's left.
We then go straight to the car and drive off without saying anything stupid like "Is it really dead?" or "I didn't think we'd make it"...
Using copyright to avoid Freedom of Info law? Ha, ha, NICE try!
I've got a sudden urge...
...to put a FOIA request in to the BBC and grab the new season of Doctor Who early. Worth a shot, I reckon...
Scrunched Street View spymobile spied in India
Technically, it depends how it's spoken...
...which is a bit tricky when written down, granted. If the h is dropped (try saying "An 'oly cow" in your finest Terry Jones accent) it would be written as 'An holy cow' - just as you would say "I'll be there in an 'our" but write 'I'll be there in an hour'.
(I'm assuming you don't actually pronounce the h in hour...)
"A historic occasion" sounds great in received pronunciation but crap in cockney: "An historic occasion" is vice versa.
The only time to haul people up on it is when they write 'an herb'. Not because it's wrong per se, but because it means they say "an 'erb" and therefore need a good slapping on general principle.

Microsoft tightens grip on OEM Windows 8 licensing
Re: Inherited details
It could do, but then you have the problem of what to do when the host goes tits-up: If you can't move the VM to another box in short order you're humped (and that's assuming a particular VM normally boots onto the same host each time, which isn't a given).
They need to be able to distinguish between an install popping up on a different machine because it's been moved, and an install popping up on a different machine because it's been copied. Arsing about with embedded HW codes isn't going to help.
That's going to make virtualisation a bit tricky.
Unless there's a loop-hole for VMs, in which case it's a bit pointless.

Re: How do BMC equate to
"it's the most useless, broken, outdated, slow and contrary piece of shit..."
And those are it's good points (or were - it's been a while).
Interesting to be told we're bratty teenagers by the outfit that's done more to promote hair-loss and alcoholism among IT staff than anyone this side of Redmond...

Apple seeks whopping $2.525bn Samsung patent payout
Apple's logic seems to be...
...that their customers are complete morons who have no idea what they're doing. Which, when you think about it, is a pretty good point.
Re: I am reminded of Austin Powers...
You need to think back to the original Mac and Mac II. Y'know, before they invented the letter "i".
IIRC, was about '87 or '88 when they discovered the joy of trolling the courtrooms claiming somebody had stolen their mojo, and it's been downhill ever since.
But, if you thought Windows V 1 was the dog's whatsits, I'm not going to argue.
I am reminded of Austin Powers...

Anecdotes about people you know...
Eveyone I've know thinks it's a steaming pile. That's a mix of Windows, Apple and Linux users, and it's actually quite nice to see something that we can all agree on without having to settle matters with a knife-fight.
Microsoft posts first-ever quarterly loss
Re: @Medium Dave
Not everybody needs or wants to use VMs. I'm currently running Chakra Linux with XP, W7 and Ubuntu VMs but it's not a setup I'd recomend to anyone who doesn't need it - it's heavy on the drives, takes ages to keep them all updated and tuned and needs a bucketful of memory. I don't file these under "greater efficiency and reliability", I file them under "PITA but useful for work" (besides, flicking between XP and W7 VMs on a desktop cube looks cool).
Your collegue would do much better to hook hibernate up to the lid close so he can do a quick bunk at beer o'clock. You'll both have update Windows at some point, then he can laugh at you while you also update Ubuntu.
Apple building 'tactical' data center with 'mantrap' doors
This would be interesting...
...if the mantraps in question were specced out by the BOFH. None of this run-of-the-mill locking door rubbish, but proper mantraps with spikes, napalm, and an anvil suspended by a frayed, elderly rope.

About Pattie Montour
This property was purchased from my parents in 1995. It was built in the fifties to house a gift shop. The conversion to a personal retreat was completed over several years while living and working in Shawano.
We come here for a relaxing get a way from work and the technology we are required to keep up with all week. We enjoy many of the local restaurants, the bike trails and the woodland surroundings.The local chamber has a schedule of art and musical events throughout the summer that can meet every taste.
Pattie Montour purchased this cottage in 1995
Why Pattie Montour chose Shawano Lake
Shawano Lake Rendezvous is very easy to find. There is parking on only one side of the street, this helps keep local traffic moving, while still allowing street parking for an extra vehicle.
We love the variety of activities in the area. Boating and all sorts of water sports. The local festivals are a great way to see the small towns around Shawano.
The Shawano Chamber of Commerce has a complete listing of activities and events through the county. There is something for everyone; check to see what is going on while you are here.
We love to take a walk down to the marina in the morning just to get a feel for what is going on in the neighborhood. Always keep an eye open for wildlife along the way. If you are quiet and early, it is a very easy walk.
If you want something a bit more active try bike riding around the lake if you use the sidestreets it is approximately 28 miles. There are several choices in Cecil to stop for breakfast. I reccommend doing this early as traffic can be heavy later in the day.
In the evening there are so many great local restaurants and traditional Wisconsin Supper Clubs. It is a difficult decision to stay in and cook together or go out and try the nights special or a long time favorite.
We sometimes can't decide how to spend our days. It is 35 miles to the Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame, the practice field and Lambeau Stadium. During the football season we enjoy the pregame tailgate parties and will sometimes go even if we dont have tickets for the game.
Rent a boat or bring your own. Relax on the beach, bring floating rafts for the shallow swimming area. If you forgot yours they are available at several local stores. Whitewater rafting on the Wolf River in Memoninee and Langlade Counties. Be an active adventurer or a spectator. It is really all up to you.
What makes this cottage unique
The back yard is shady and quiet. A large attached deck is a comfortable place to read or enjoy a meal. There is a brick patio with a gas grill. It is wonderful to spend a little quiet time and just observe the stars in the night sky.
Within walking distance of a Supper Club, Martini Bar, and a local tavern. Your choice of appetizers, a full meal or just a sandwich.

A 24-year-old Waterloo, Iowa woman has been arrested after her 9-month-old son was found inside a hot, stuffy car that was left unlocked on the wrong side of the street.
A police officer noticed the car and then the child about noon on Wednesday. The boy had been in the car for about 30 minutes. He was conscious but sweaty when he was taken to a hospital.
Officers found the mother, Shawna Bailey, inside a nearby apartment building. She's been charged with child endangerment.

Forbidden Planet Customer Reviews
All your favourite heroes, immortalised and available to buy!
My boyfriend is a huge comic book fan. I dabble myself, but I don't come anywhere close. Sadly our local comic book store went out of business, so I went looking elsewhere for comic book gifts for birthdays and Christmasses. I found Forbidden Planet after visiting a store in London, and while I think that it's a little pricey, I can't fault the range of memorabilia and merchandise it stocks. I found graphic novels I knew he wanted and the package arrived on time and in perfect condition. I even got him an action figure of Wonder Woman as a bit of a joke - he totally loved it!
The sheer volume of stock on the website means that it can be a bit baffling when you log on, but once you narrow your search you're sure to find what you want and lots more!
Lots of fun things to buy here
My daughter loves Simons cat videos so I found a Simons Cat plush - perfect! I wasn't looking for it, as I came to buy my nephew some comic books for his birthday. But when you see something unique you've got to buy it, as I always say, or you'll regret it later. The site was chocked full of comic-y goodness and graphic novels, etc. Not my thing, but then again I'm in my 40s and a woman so I'm probably not the demographic. Found everything I needed for his gift, checked out swiftly and was on my way. That's what I call successful shopping.
I really LOVE Forbidden Planet
Forbidden Planet is my favourite comic book/super hero store on the internet. They have so much stuff and so much of it is so specific to certain series that are difficult to find elsewhere. Though I use the site mainly to get merchandise as it's a bit pricey for books and I can get them cheaper elsewhere, Forbidden Planet is really a great resource for all enthusiasts of anything from Star Wars, to Game of Thrones, to more traditional superheros, to video game merchandise. I often use the site to buy for myself but I use it to buy gifts too. The shipping is always pretty quick and I've never had any problem with the service. Aside from the stuff they are selling, they also have a lot of other elements to the site which are pretty interesting for fans of graphic novels and the like. I read their blog religiously and have found out about some really interesting new releases and events from it. I seriously recommend Forbidden Planet!

Former governor Eliot Spitzer is adding a vacant property on Manhattan's far West Side to his real estate portfolio.
Spitzer Enterprises forked over $88 million for the plot on 35th Street between Tenth and Eleventh avenues.
The deal allows Spitzer's real estate company to build as much as 415,000 square feet on the land.
There is no word on what Spitzer plans to do with the property, but several nearby developments are being turned into tall, mixed-use residential and commercial buildings.
The neighborhood is looked at as up and coming with the extension of the seven line, the soon to be finished High Line park, and the future Hudson Rail Yards development.

Besides playing a beauty in the film, the actress is playing a brainy role too, which can be seen in the Italian film, "Don't Move," playing in art house theaters.

Symantec Security Response has become aware of a Trojan Horse we detect as Trojan.Ramvicrype. The Trojan uses the RC4 algorithm to encrypt files on compromised computers, rendering them unusable. Presence of files with a .vicrypt extension is a sure-fire sign of infection.
Trojan.Ramvicrype is a little different from most other Ransomware programs we've seen in the past. Typically these kinds of threats display a message prompting users to visit a certain Web page or email a specific address. Users will end up paying the online criminals in exchange for keys that can be used to unlock the computer or decrypt the encrypted files.
Previously posted blogs on the subject of Ransomware can be found at:
In contrast to the above threats, Trojan.Ramvicrype does not make a direct demand for cash in return for keys. How are they making their money here? It turns out that entering the term 'vicrypt' into a search engine leads us to a company offering a fix, which of course is a charged service. So, there was a reason for that file extension after all.
Unfortunately, performing a search for 'vicrypt help' or similar may not be an option for those whose machines have been compromised. Consider the %UserProfile%\Recent folder, which is used by Windows to maintain links to recently opened files. For example, if you open a text file called sales-report.txt on your desktop, a .lnk file is created that points to the file itself, %UserProfile%\Desktop\sales-report.txt. Since Trojan.Ramvicrype encrypts files in all folders pointed to by the links to recently opened files, one of the worst case scenarios occurs when a file in the Windows system folder has recently been opened. This leads to a situation in which the threat encrypts all files in the Windows system folder, the computer is critically damaged and the user is unlikely to be able to access the Internet to search for the fix.
Fortunately for non-Symantec users affected by this Trojan, salvation can be found from us as well; Symantec Security Response has developed a free tool to decrypt the encrypted files. The tool can be found here.
Many thanks to Kazumasa Itabashi and Paul Mangan for their help with the analysis of the threat and the development of the decryption tool.
