Muslim women speak for themselves
A lot of discussion these days about Muslim women, but the problem is few of us get a chance to sit down and talk with some of them.
I have met quite a few simply because I work as a volunteer in one of Winnipeg's largest affordable-housing societies. The women were all different, but none of them had the characteristics of the Muslim-woman stereotype -- a supine creature who is browbeaten or sometimes beaten by her husband.
In fact, it was sometimes the reverse -- the women told their husbands where to get off. In other instances, the women did all the talking and the men said nary a word.
Muslim women are in the news because of the trial of Mohammad Shafia, his second wife, Tooba Mohammad Yaha, and his son Hamed, who are accused of killing Shafia's first wife and three daughters in what the Crown says was an "honour killing."
Shahrzad Mojob, a professor in the University of Toronto's women's studies section, told the trial it's wrong to blame religion for such killings because they predate all the great faiths.
Honour killings -- the United Nations says there are thousands worldwide each year -- don't need to be prefaced by actual deeds, Mojob said.
"Even the assumption (of extramarital relations) is seen as a huge violation of the family honour," she said. "It doesn't need to be actual. Even the rumour can cause the killings of young women."
The killings, she said, are a means of "cleansing" a family from disgrace.
I can't ask the Muslim woman sitting across the table opposite me about the killings, although the reporter in me would love to. We are here to discuss housing. The woman wears a long coat buttoned up around their neck, a head scarf and woollen gloves in case, by accident, our hands should touch.
Her dark eyes watch me intently as she takes off her gloves. "The apartment," she says, "is a very good apartment." But she is worried it is too far from a school her children enjoy.
Like many immigrant women, she wants her children to succeed. She knows they must learn English and do well in school. She also knows the bullying of immigrant children takes place in some schools, and in others their special needs are ignored. Gangs are a constant worry.
Her husband, a big, handsome guy in a jaunty Afghan hat, likes the new apartment, and the price is right. The woman turns to the husband and begins to make her points in a very forthright manner. I can't follow the whole discussion because the interpreter is discreet. The woman's body language, however, indicates she is not happy.
The couple didn't take the apartment.
In another setting, I interviewed an imam who worked part-time in his mosque and was a leading expert in Winnipeg's medical community. "Anyone who thinks Muslim women are subservient should see my wife talking to me," he said. And some members of his congregation, sitting around him, nodded in agreement.
Codi Guenther, of New Journey, who helps my group with housing problems, says immigrant women in Canada are becoming even more influential in families because cheques for child tax benefits are made out to them. And in our society, money talks.
You can't judge Muslim women by what they wear. Turkey is the Middle East's most open Islamic democracy. I asked a group of women university students there why they wore head scarfs. "We have a choice," said one, "and we choose to wear them."
"We don't want to be confused with Lindsay Lohan," another added.
In one housing interview, a woman, smartly dressed in her colourful native costume, told me quietly about how she had taken her children across part of a desert to get to a refugee camp, then fought hard to get to Canada where her children would have a chance at a better life.
She put a mighty dent in my persona of rough, cynical reporter.
Need I add that she got the apartment?

Is the backdown on education changes damaging to the Government?
Related Links
Relevant offers
The Government's backdown over school funding changes was a political, rather than educational decision, critics say.
Announcing the U-turn on class size funding changes, Education Minister Hekia Parata said there was a "disproportionate level of anxiety" among parents about the plan.
She had tried to sell the $174m cut to teacher funding as a "trade-off" for higher teacher quality, including by a $60m boost for teacher recruitment and training.
"It is clear that that is something that has been rejected by teachers and by parents and so we have to look at a different set of trade-offs," Parata said.
Speaking in Hamburg, Prime Minister John Key said he still felt the proposed changes were right and the U-turn had only been caused by parents' negative perceptions of them.
"We were effectively saying to the sector 'here is quite a lot of cash to fund [teacher] development [funded] by making what we think - I still think - is a very modest alteration of class sizes'. But what is clear is that parents don't see it as modest and in the end perception is reality."
It had become "blindingly obvious" parents would not wear the policy and that was why the Government had backed down, Key said.
But education experts insist the plan was misguided.
Canterbury University Associate Professor Lindsey Conner said the "underlying premise" of a "trade-off" was "a little bit false".
"If you have higher numbers of children in a class, it's actually very counter-intuitive to what students and parents and grandparents and educators know about the amount of time teachers can give attention to individuals," Conner said.
"I think there are other ways of developing efficiencies rather than slashing teachers. That's not the way to do it. To achieve the outcomes that they want, that is not the way to do it."
Labour leader David Shearer said it was clear the backdown had been motivated by politics, and not because the Government was truly concerned about the impact of the policy.
"Hekia Parata says she decided to reverse the plan following a 'disproportionate amount of anxiety' from parents. This plainly demonstrates that National still did not think that the policy was wrong," Shearer said.
It was "mindboggling" that National could have ever thought increasing class sizes was in any way a good idea.
"The Government still doesn't get the damage that increased classes sizes will do to children's learning," Shearer said.
Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei said the aborted proposal had destabilised the education system, damaged the faith of the schools sector and caused "enormous angst" among parents.
UnitedFuture Leader Peter Dunne, a support partner of the Government, said bigger class sizes were "a step in the wrong direction".
"I think this is a necessary step ... There is no question that the Government is committed to raising student achievement - it is just a matter of how they go about it," Dunne said.

Takeover fever at the London Stock Exchange after TMX embarrassment
Shares in the London Stock Exchange surged yesterday in the wake of the dramatic collapse on Wednesday of its merger with Canada's TMX on expectations that it would become a takeover target.
The stock rose 11 per cent to 1,061p, valuing the LSE at £2.9bn, as the market speculated that the group would become a takeover target. The management were yesterday considering the most suitable strategy, and it is understood that alternative deals have not been ruled out. Clive Furness, the managing director of Contango Markets, an exchange consultancy, said: "It was a blow, but these are not single-strategy individuals. I'm sure it is not the only thing they have got on the go."
The LSE was forced to pull out of the merger with TMX late on Wednesday after it became clear the deal did not have enough shareholder support. The move caused furious speculation over the future of the exchange. One stock market expert said: "The situation has flipped from the LSE being the protagonist to it being the potential target."
James Hamilton, an analyst at Numis Securities, added: "There's a feeling in the market that the company could be the focus of a bid." Nasdaq failed with two attempts to buy its London rival in 2006 and 2007 and is widely expected to make a third attempt.
Others suggested it should merge with the Hong Kong or the Tokyo stock exchange. UBS analysts said Nasdaq could offer up to 1,150p, a 22 per cent premium to the present share price.
Mr Furness said the group would be a "fantastic asset" for a potential bidder, before adding: "The LSE has ambition and they will find other avenues. Xavier Rolet [LSE's chief executive] has been hampered by his predecessor's inability to deliver."
Peter Randall, the chief executive of electronic trading platform Equiduct, said: "This is not necessarily curtains, but the LSE is in a tough position. It has a great brand, but is finding it tough to expand. It is a right-hand drive car in a left-hand drive world." He added: "They should hunker down and ride this one out."

Transfer HD to new SSD without having to reload? (self.hardware)
submitted 2 years ago by [deleted]
I just got an SSD and I don't want to reload everything from scratch. I just want to transfer all my windows files and other essential files that will make my computer run right at boot. I don't want to have to do a clean install.
How can I do that?
[–]wolfcry0 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
You'll need to clone the drive, you can use macrium reflect (a free program)
Plug the new SSD into a spare sata port, boot up off your old harddrive, open reflect and go through the options to clone the old harddrive to the new SSD
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
thanks for the info.

[–]lantech 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Use Clonezilla.
Download the ISO and burn the image, boot to the CD and copy disk to disk.
you might need to use Gparted to resize partitions possible before and after...
Alternatively, use the files and settings transfer wizard. Transfer from old to new: save transfer files to another (third) HDD or usb key. Reinstall OS on SSD, import the transfer file. You still have to reinstall applications, but most settings for all apps cross over with this.
[–]Herdnerfer 6 points7 points8 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Possible, but not recommended. To get the full SSD performance a fresh install is best...

[–]gotamd 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (0 children)
It's not a crock of shit. You have to worry about alignment and block size unless you don't care about performance.
[–]morgartjr 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (5 children)
You'd need acronis drive image or norton ghost, or a similar disk imaging program.

can't I just copy the files?

I love adventure, exploring new places, traveling alone, meditating, hiking, camping, and partner dancing. I now live in wine country and just retired after 30-plus years of being a free-lance court reporter.
Paula has completed online and offline ID verification.
Paula and Tom were a delightful couple who were enjoyable to talk to and fit very well on our quiet, wooded property. They were quiet and highly considerate while staying with us. We would love to have them back any time.
Paul is delightful! A very nice person and so interesting and fun. She is the perfect guest. It was a pleasure to have her here and I welcome her back anytime. The room was left so very clean and tidy..thanks Paula!
Paula was a wonderful guest, very quiet, kept to herself, very clean and respectful. We enjoyed having her stay with us.
I was not home at time of your visit but heard great things from Venutia & Justin about your wonderful vacation in HI. Glad you enjoyed your stay hope you visit us again someday.
We were very happy to have Paula and Tom share our fun space. They are such a wonderful, active and interesting couple. We appreciate their taking good care of our place and look forward to seeing them again in the near future. With all the festivals that go on around here we will probably see them soon! Thanks, Linni and Trent
Good to hear from you, Linni. Are you still at the spa? Had my first open house today and another one to come on Sunday. I've been busy since I got home. We had a blast at the festival. Didn't like being at the other house nearly as much as yours. I came home sick from the AC, which has happened numerous times to me when I go to LA.. No AC for me next time!!!

I have 20 OTP ciphertexts which I know were encrypted with only 19 distinct keys, so 1 key has been reused. Also only two different messages, with the same length, were encrypted.
I know that if I xor two ciphertexts together , if they share the same key, i'll eliminate the key. So I did, with all of them. But now I can't manage to discover which pair is the one who shares the key.
Can someone help me and tell me how to distinguish the pair that shares the key from the others?

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Awesome, but will Linux run on it too?-- corridors up to a quarter-mile across, consisting of as many as six lanes for cars and four for trucks, plus railroad tracks, oil and gas pipelines, water and other utility lines, even broadband transmission cables.
I mean really, don't illegals have an easy enough time getting into the US? This is the blue collar equivalent of stringing a backbone cable to India.
I'm sort of a road geek, so I'll narrate a bit. I don't think there's anything wrong with the way Interstates run now, except maybe that trucks and cars use the same lanes of traffic. Fixing that would be a $125 billion project in itself. As for infrastructure... well, here's how things look right now...
There's a good chunk of fiber running along U.S. 24 (a highway) in Illinois... not an Interstate. There are seven major transmission lines... only one runs along an Interstate for a long while, and that's because it used to be U.S. 51, not I-39. There are at least four major oil lines in the state. They're clearly marked, but I couldn't tell you were they were, except for maybe "Joliet and Chicago". This is because one runs along state highway 83, and another cuts through and under backyards in the western 'burbs. And I see a bunch of refineries right next to I-55. So these two sightings are possibly the same pipe.
Besides the fact that I like the idea that at most two of those infrastructures can be taken out at once, I also like that I don't know where everything goes. I can tell you that they go across farms, which doesn't help you at all. Security through obscurity? Sure. But it's pretty effective when the infrastructure is tens / hundreds of miles apart.
I'm from a small town. There aren't many opportunities for me there as a software engineer or really anything past factory worker, salesman, McDonald's chef. So why would I want to go back there when I know I would be happy doing something I love even if it isn't "home"? I'm not trying to attack you, merely saying that I, personally, would not want to find myself trapped in a small town like I've seen so many others. I don't want my abilities to be limited by my location.How many college students move back to the small town because its "home"?
OK, then how 'bout the fenced-off superduperhighway in Job: A Comedy of Justice? That one was in Texas, even, IIRC.
The thing that galls me about this plan is they're talking about using Eminent Domain to appropriate people's land, and then hand that land over to a private company (a foreign owned one no less). Yes, the government can force people to sell land for public use but till recently that has meant state parks, military bases, and such - not private development.
How much do you want to bet the developer is going to recoup their $175 billion investment by snatching up a 10-mile wide swath of what is now farm and ranch land, but will later be prime commercial real estate - and every possible access point to the superhighway - if this plan goes through.
I live along the I35 corridor, about a mile and a half from I35, actually, in Waco. Traffic is OK on most days. But Friday evening, and holidays, it's gridlock. I hate it on Fridays & holidays.
This sounds like just another dream project. I don't think they'll really do anything. I'd bet they'll just keep trying to widen I35. After all, the orange barrel is the state bird of Texas, and they seem to flock all over I35.
What the world *really* needs is a good Automatic Bicycle Sharpener.

* HeyItsThatGuy: The two most prominently featured students in Robin's class are played by [[Series/{{House}} Robert Sean Leonard]] and Ethan Hawke while they were still "that guy"'s. Or put another way, [[Series/{{House}} Doctor Wilson]] "cancels" his plans of a future medical career after a brutal putting down from his asshat [[Creator/KurtwoodSmith father]] [[Film/RoboCop1987 Clarence Boddicker]]. He is only ''slightly'' nicer to his other son, [[Series/That70sShow Eric]]!
* PlayingAgainstType: Features Creator/RobinWilliams in one of [[TomHanksSyndrome his earlier "serious" roles]].
* TraumaticHaircut: All the cast were taken for short, 50s-style haircuts. According to the "Look Back" special on the DVD, Ethan Hawke found this upsetting.
* TrueCompanions: The members of the Dead Poets' Society were made to share a room before and during filming to strengthen the bond between them and make them believable friends.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** An earlier draft of the script included Ginny Danbury, Chet's sister and a friend of Chris's. Along with giving Chris more screentime, Ginny also had the role of Hermia in the play and the actress who played her, Lara Flynn Boyle, still appears in those scenes even though the scenes with her as Ginny were cut. Even though those scenes weren't technically necessary for the rest of the movie, it would've been nice for Chris to have a friend outside of her love triangle with Chet and Knox.
** Liam Neeson and Dustin Hoffman were considered for the role of Mr. Keating.
** Originally, Cameron was supposed to stand on his desk in the final scene like the rest of the Society. However, Dylan Kussman, the actor who portrayed him, felt that this would be [[OutOfCharacterMoment out of character]] and said so to Peter Weir. Weir agreed and so they changed it to Cameron remaining seated.
** One early idea was to have Keating be dying of leukemia during the course of the film. This was changed so the film could focus on the boys instead.

Tannhauser Poem ITannhauser Poem3 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Wolfram let the fair maid die,
transfigured hair and angel's wing,
an end that only God could wish.
He loved their winter into spring.
Wolfram was a noble man.
He kept a vigil in the night
and scattered shepherds on the hill
did see the two in blessed light.
He did not touch the virgin's hand.
He dared not let himself begin.
He watched her vie for higher things:
Elisabeth died for Tannhauser's sin.
And Tannhauser lived as best he could.
Wolfram wrote poems to exhalt the past.
These men stem from legends and so it would seem
that Tannhauser's soul was a part of the dream.
Wolfram was scribe, a collector of tales,
impoverished and rude, made a knight by his pen.
There was no gleam of sainthood to dim with the sunset.
No maiden in anguish saw Wolfram again.
And Tannhauser, on his way to Rome
slept in dust and ate his words.
What course is left the unforgave?

I can't look in the mirror for fear I'll see
Another part of me that I can't let be
I want to cut it out of my soul
And just live with the gaping hole
Take control and choose to lose
The part of my heart where the insides bruised
I didn't fall; I was caught by the lonely, crushing darkness
Of this I'm sure; it was there more than you ever were
I don't know why the love I need
Is flowing in the blood I bleed
Yes, I'm confused and, yes, I'm a mess
Frustrations magnified by stress
I don't know why I pushed so far
New cuts cover where the old ones are
My scars are scarred, my heart's in shards
I'm breaking down like a house of cards
I fell already blind into decimating blackness
And used what I could find of my heart as target practice

cool against my skin
on a summer's morning. Even so-
I could embrace the blue ice
of winter's drowning. I didn't care.
Didn't care if the night arrived-
too soon- I felt alive.
Mist, then stars, swimming in the clouds
then silver moon-
Wise beacon above the river's tug
Hier bin ich! Drowsy, drifting,
shivering, shaken
to share in this scene
Schade! Maybe a dream.
Didn't care if I fell asleep
to dream of great poets
with vision and power.
The artist may paint with
blood mixed with colors, water-
to make my memories wait for hours.
Cross the river in sleep
Know the night birds who soar-
Cut the night into ribbons
of stardust reflection.
And at dawn graceful swallows
to swoop toward the daylight
gentle in flight-
Disappear with the night.
I am
awakened by moments
which no one may grasp.
Didn't care that my time
flew away like the dawn
Didn't care that I waited
alone by the river.
Didn't care.

France and Japan, one or the other,
But Tama-sans heart is for another,
Hidden as a boy, the grace of the girl,
Haruhi made his eyes shine like pearls
Like it or not, he was there for her,
to protect what he deeply holds dear
it was sick for the Zuka club to hear
that she worked as a boy
what they thought that she was their toy
But he and the hosts proved them wrong,
showing that Haruhi truly belonged.
Then the next time they took her with glee,
Tamaki was down below, shouting:
And off the pedestal like her host implored,
and the Princes words were well spent,
even though she landed not in his arms,
but ontop of his body on the floor.
More time passes, his hearts rose starts to bloom
that the loneliness and hate tried to consume,
but his heart is stronger than the dark itself,
it won't put its warmth on the forgotten shelf.
And then it comes the Princes final test,

The sacrifice-
The eagle's crest
Has need for claws
And eaglets crave
The taste of blood
Before their wings
May steer their flight
(This was the lesson
We have learned
From the ages when
Our temples burned.)
Rienzi rose from bitter days,
The taste defeat brings
On his tongue-
So sway the people,
Bring them hence,
Have need of claws
To make them strong.
Yet not to war
On brother bands:
He brings you hence
To make you one.
Keep out the folly
From our folk,
Have need of blood
To keep us strong.
What once was true
In freeman's hearts
Will cross the land,
Abide in peace,
And such a peace,
It's price in union.
He saw the dream
Take flight again.
Too late, Rienzi,
Regard your tribe:
The slaves grown used
To chains of shame.
You give them strength
But weak arms waver,
Honor dies
And villains breed.
And though the eagle
Finds the sky,
So many wait
To still his wings.
Too late to turn
Against the wind.
The temple burns
A second age.

The pilot was not doing much, he only occasionally glanced at the displays and lights on various consoles. His main attention was more concentrated on a movie he was watching in his mind. Still, when one of the lights started flickering accompanied by a low sound, he immediately turned towards the console in front of him. He glanced over one of the displays and muttered "Mess for Cap", to nobody in particular before leaning back in his char and continuing the movie.

ECIDA considers aid for Main St. rehab

Developer Jim Swiezy is working with the Erie County Industrial Development Agency on securing an incentive package that will help finance the $5.8 million renovation two Main Street properties.
The buildings are located at 916 Main Street and 918 Main Street, along the western edge of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
The project qualifies for ECIDA assistance under its adaptive re-use policy. The ECIDA has set an Oct. 2 public hearing on Swiezy's request, with the full board expected to vote on the incentive request when it meets on Oct. 21.
The buildings, which date back to the 1870s, have been vacant for more than a decade and, before that, were in a structurally suspect shape.
Given their history and architectural significance, the city of Buffalo agreed to stabilize the buildings while Swiezy's Greenleaf & Co. was in the process of acquiring the structures.
"They definitely saved a building that easily could have come down," Swiezy said.
Swiezy, working through his Bosche LLC affiliate, said the buildings will be anchored by 23 apartments, a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. The apartments run between 700-square-feet and 1,000-square-feet.
One building, at 916 Main Street, will have a common deck on its roof. That building is three stories compared with its immediate neighbor at 918 Main Street that has four stories. Combined the two buildings have 32,225-square-feet.
The first floor will be targeted for some form of retail use. Swiezy said he has been approached by a number of tenants including coffee shop operators about the first floor space.
Until he begins his construction, Swiezy said he is reluctant to sign any tenant.
