UN HR Council grants 6 mo delay to release of Sri Lanka war crimes report: The United Nations Human Rights Council granted the Sri Lankan government a six month delay in releasing its report on alleged war crimes. The report, led by former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, was due next month, but UN rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein stated that he recommended a deferral until September. A Sri Lanka Foreign Ministry official stated that the delay would help the "new government's move to establish democratic process for accountability issues." These war crimes stem from the previous government who stands accused of human rights violations during the final stages of the civil war in May of 2009. The United Nations Human Rights Council began their own investigation in March after stating that former President Mahinda Rajapaksa had failed to properly conduct his own investigation. Once released, the United Nations report would be the basis of which the HR Council would recommend to hold those accountable for crimes, including a referral to the International Criminal Court.

Extraordinary African Chambers finds enough evidence against Habre to proceed to trial: The Extraordinary African Chambers found enough evidence against Hissene Habre for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and torture to go forward with trial. This evidence comes from witness and victim interviews, documents from Habre's secret police, and a visit to mass graves during a 19-month pretrial investigation conducted mainly in Chad. These allegations stem from Habre's eight-year rule in Chad, though he was overthrown over 20 years ago. Habre lived in exile in Senegal until he was detained in 2013. The trial is expected to begin in May or June and will have two Senegalese judges and a lead judge from another African Union member state. (Defence Web)

HRW called for Libyan officials to hold those accountable for the acts and for the United Nations to establish a mechanism to investigate and prosecute the crimes. The Libyan extremist group has pledged its loyalty to ISIS, another extremist group. (Human Rights Watch)
Kurdish Gov investigating atrocities committed against ISIS: Images posted on Twitter of beheaded ISIS militants have been confirmed as legitimate by the Kurdish government.

The Kurdish government is investigating the atrocities committed. Kurdish Regional government spokesperson Safeen Dizayi stated that there is no justification for treating dead corpses in this manner. (CTV News)
Official says N Korea not guilty of any crime while asking for HR conference to be cancelled: The United Nations General Assembly urged the UN Security Council to refer North Korea to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity back in December. North Korea's UN ambassador, Jang Il Hun, stated on Monday that the threat of referral was not worrisome since they are not guilty of the alleged crimes. Hun also stated that he asked the United States to cancel a conference to be held at Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies concerning human rights in North Korea. Hun sent a formal request to his counterpart in the State Department, but the request was denied, as it was not a U.S. government event. (Euronews)

DNA test requested for murdered ICC witness: Deputy President William Ruto's attorney, Karim Khan, requested a DNA test of Meshack Yebei. Yebei was a potential witness in the trial against President Ruto and was found dead in western Kenya in early January. President Ruto was charged with crimes against humanity during the post election violence in Kenya. Yebei's family consented to the DNA test and stated that Yebei never mentioned he was an ICC witness. Prosecutors stated that they had not been planning to call Yebei as a witness during trial due to his implication of trying to corrupt witnesses. Khan stated in a letter to the head of Kenya's Criminal Investigation Department that Yebei had been a key witness for trial. Yebei had even been referred to the ICC's Victims and Witness Unit for protection. Prosecutors stated that any suggestion that they were involved in Yebei's abduction and murder was "outrageous and utterly false." (BBC News, AllAfrica) (for additional information please click here)
Government says it wants to try Ongwen in Uganda: The government of Uganda stated that it wanted to try Lord's Resistance Army rebel commander Dominic Ongwen.

Libyan trial of Saif Gaddafi and Al-Senussi delayed again: The trial of Saif Al-Islam Qaddafi and 36 other senior officials, including former security chief Abdullah Senussi, has been postponed once again.

Those that stand accused could face the death penalty for "genocide, killing of unarmed civilians, abuses of power, human rights abuses, employing mercenaries and encouraging rape as a weapon of war." The ICC indicted both Gaddafi and Senussi. After proceedings on Libya's admissibility challenge, the ICC ordered the surrender of Gaddafi to the ICC. Libya has failed to comply with this order.

ECCC defence application to disqualify judges dismissed: A majority of a five-member judicial panel of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal's trial chamber dismissed applications made by defendants Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan to disqualify four of five of the court's judges. Chea believed that the judges would not give him a fair trial based on their previous guilty verdict in August. Samphan wanted additional time to prepare for his appeal. The four members of the panel dismissed the application, with Judge Rowan Downing dissenting. The full reasoning behind their decision will be provided as soon as possible. Victor Koppe, Chea's lawyer, stated that counsel would most likely start attending the trial hearings. This should end the on-going boycott of the case. (The Phnom Penh Post)

Mental Illness and Hypocrisy
I had a friend of nearly 19 years and was abruptly cut out of the picture during the time of her wedding. I received a letter from her in the mail, she didn't have it in her to face me and tell me that we had grown up and grown apart and she would be a hypocrite if she had me in her wedding as a bridesmaid. To this day, I've never mentioned it nor talked with her about it and we don't talk all that all that often just a casual hi - how are you on facebook, but it still hurts my heart- even though its been nearly 20 years since it all transpired. What I don't understand is the fact we went through nearly everything together growing up and up into our early 20's but obviously It was the fact that I had been diagnosed with having bipolar disorder and had been put on a few medications which I'll admit, in the beginning they were mood altering meds and she didn't understand any of it, nor did she want to. She accused me of being high! She didn't have anyone in her life experiencing what I did to begin to understand what I was going through. I had a few nervous breakdowns over the years but thankfully once they found the right medications, I've since had a pretty "normal" life! I try to tell myself that she didn't mean any harm because she was not educated in mental illness- and theres always going to be a stigma that goes hand in hand where people believe that because it's a disease of the mind, we are then crazy! (If I had a disease of the pancreas I would have diabetes- but thats ok where as mental illness is still not really acceptable and people get labeled unfairly.) I've been holding all this in so long- sorry for venting on and on!
We used to live very close to Loretta Lynn's Dude Ranch a little over five years ago. Our little town of Hurricane Mills, Tn shared a post office that was directly across from the dude ranch, so we were there quite often! Just across the main highway 13, was Sissy Lynn's place which had served up some great food! The kids loved living "out in the woods" back then, compared to now, where they're indoors with all their electronics! Times have changed!

Kudos to Pixel Scrapper
I'm trying to get back into the digital scrapbooking scene by participating in some fun challenges over at Pixel Scrapper! I've been up since 1:30 this morning and thought I would jump right back into designing layouts for my creative team at PS! What a great community of people!
After a bit of a leave of absence from my favorite hobby, I quickly learned it's not just a hobby, it's one of my passions, I was up making layouts again in no time! It's much like riding a bike; if you fall off- get back on it & try, try again!
I found out the other day that my other "go to" digiscrap location had just cut me out of their forum when I had been inactive a bit over a month and was literally locked out of their forum after several years of being involved there. No email, no message, nada! From what I understand, this was caused because my credit card on file became no good after I put in a fraud claim, they sent me a new card- which had completely slipped my mind! IF I had received some sort of reminder about my payment, none of this would of happened Anyhow- I'll be staying my distance from there until I decide if I want to go back...I am pretty upset and normally dont post such things here but I need to vent cuz I'm upset!! Will keep ya posted (it's prob my fault anyhow!)

Near average to below average March to May long rains to slow recovery
Key Messages
◾ The March to May long rains are expected to be near average to below average in amount in both pastoral and marginal agricultural areas, but they are likely to be near average to above average in the high- and medium-potential agricultural areas.
Adolescents are a neglected group in terms of nutrition. In some countries up to a half of adolescents are malnourished. Yet optimal nutrition during adolescence – a period of rapid physical growth – is crucial.
Urgent action is needed to address adolescent malnutrition in low- and middle-income countries. And given the high numbers of adolescent girls who give birth and of girls under 18 who get married, it is imperative that – in order to break the intergenerational cycle of malnutrition – nutrition interventions target adolescent girls.
- Several anomalously dry areas expected to receive above-average rainfall during the next week.
- Much of Ethiopia received a large increase in seasonal rains during mid-March.

World TB Day 2015
Tuberculosis remains one of the world's deadliest communicable diseases. In 2013, an estimated nine million people developed tuberculosis (TB) and 1.5 million died from the disease, 360,000 of whom were HIV-positive. TB is slowly declining each year and it is estimated that 37 million lives were saved between 2000 and 2013 through effective diagnosis and treatment.

It's mid-morning and the sun is blazing. It is so hot that germinating seeds struggle to grow.
In Moi Ndabi, about 44km (27 miles) south of Kenya's Lake Naivasha in Nakuru County, the vegetation dotted sparingly across the village has turned yellow.
Every rainy season Jane Kabugi's home comes under attack. The torrential rain so desperately needed downstream to fuel Kenya's rising electricity demands – and Nairobi's water requirements – has literally been tearing her home and farm apart.

Kansas City makes Entrepreneur.com list of nine unlikely tech startup hubs
- Alyson Raletz
- Reporter- Kansas City Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
In a search for "tech genius" outside Silicon Valley, Entrepreneur.com has identified Kansas City as one of the "9 Cities You Wouldn't Think Are Hubs for Tech Startups."
Kansas City is on a list of other "far-flung" locales, including Hoboken, N.J.; Omaha; Boulder, Colo.; and Northwest Arkansas. See the full rundown.
"These (nine) places may not leap out as startup hotbeds, but they're making a name for themselves with investors and innovators alike," Entrepreneur.com's John Patrick Pullen wrote in a Thursday blog. "And tech entrepreneurs are flocking to these places to get their startups off the ground."
Entrepreneur.com cited Google Inc.'s incoming ultra-fast Internet network when it zeroed in on Kansas City, saying the city is preparing for an "instant tech infusion."
Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) starts work on a residential neighborhood connection schedule, which runs through fall 2013, this month.
The tech giant hasn't yet made the network available to businesses outside the home. But Google says businesses can benefit from the network in other ways, including business opportunities that stem from a vertical of customers connected to high-speed bandwidth.
Google has said it plans to announce a commercial offering for small businesses in the future.
Entrepreneur.com also highlighted Launch KC, a public-private effort aimed at attracting tech startups with low-cost data center space, mentoring programs, a Downtown Wi-Fi network and other carrots.
Alyson reports about technology/telecommunications, entrepreneurship and sustainability.

Saving Winter Bloom
Can a bloom be successfully saved in a dormant state thru the winter? My Ice Cream has put out it's flag leaf and the bloom bulge is starting to show, if I dig it now can the bloom be saved until next spring?? Has anyone ever tried to do this?
I have never tried at that stage but i always bring my bananas in for the winter and they grow slowly... i would think so . putting it outside on warmer days during the winter will really help. make sure you try to not damage the roots when potting it and it could stay outside for maybe another month depending. whats the temps there now avg? until upper 40's at night but i would pot it soon so no transplant shock because it will already haveto get useto the environment change... sorry if this didnt help much . didnt quite hit the nail on the head. hope someone else can help more - Justin in VB

text: Born in 1969, DJ Derrick E. was clearly put here with music in mind. Before he could even talk, family members would ask him to pick out a certain piece of vinyl without even pointing it out, and he would do it! Derrick continued to be involved with music throughout his life, playing instruments, and singing. He then took a try at DJing with turntables, and learned how to mix on one turntable with a pitch control and one without! Derrick had his first mix played on the radio by Bobby D on the Downers Grove high school station WDGC. After that just about all his money was spent on DJ equipment and vinyl. While juggling DJing and a career in Information Technology, Derrick became a regular on the mix show "Sunday Night Street Flava" on the Chicago station B96. Shorty afterwards, Derrick started his own internet radio station and began making mixes to play on it. Finally in 2003, Derrick decided to become a DJ/Producer full time.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fine Introduction to New Features of Oracle9i Release 1,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle9i New Features (Paperback)
This is a fairly thorough review of the
new features mostly for DBAs but also covering some development features.
The book contains many useful examples for implementing some features and although in some places it is not as in depth as it could be it is pitched at a very good depth for a book - a nice tradeoff between readability and technical content.
As an Oracle trainer who regularly teaches emerging technology courses I have no hesitation in recommending this to the delegates who attend my courses and seminars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent feature primer to supplement a DBA handbook,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle9i New Features (Paperback)
If like me you have been using Oracle for years, one of the problems with each new release is finding out what features have been introduced in a new version. The main features are of course well trumpeted by Oracle's marketing department, but what of all the little tweaks ? The new outer join options for instance. You either have to take an expensive training course or read the latest release of the DBA handbook from cover to cover.
This book addresses the problem by providing a fairly concise introduction to each of the new features plus details of the initialisation parameter and/or the relevant SQL command to implement them. You undoubtedly will need to refer to the Oracle documentation or a comprehensive reference like the "Oracle9I DBA Handbook" from Osborne for further details, but you will at least know which bale of the hay-stack to start looking in.

4.0 out of 5 stars He's got a break-away !! He shoots!! He . . . almost scores,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle9i New Features (Paperback)
This book is almost great. In every chapter, the author covers really, really important stuff, and just when he gets to the point where you expect him to explain how to use the feature or include details on the feature, the section ends and begins a new. If you need a good introduction to what is new in 9i, by all means buy this book. If you are familiar with the new features, and need more info about each feature - well, you might have the best luck with Oracle Documentation (as dry as it is). I think the Oracle community is still waiting for a 9i book that is a true masterpiece.

Team preview: Western Michigan
Blue Ribbon Illustrated previews the 2004-05 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
Give Steve Hawkins and Robert McCullum credit for a job well done in turning Western Michigan basketball fortunes around.
In his first season as head coach, Hawkins guided the 2003-04 Broncos to a 26-5 mark, winning the MAC West Division and tournament and capturing the school's first NCAA bid since 1998. It was McCullum who took charge of the program in 2000, with Hawkins as his top assistant, and led the improvement from seven wins in 2001, to 17 in 2002, and then 20 in 2003.
McCullum, a longtime assistant to Lon Kruger before taking the Western post, accepted the South Florida job after three seasons in Kalamazoo. Hawkins inherited great personnel and pushed all the right buttons in leading the Broncos to one of the finest seasons in their history.
A turning point in the Western Michigan program came during Aug. 12-24, 2002, when McCullum and Hawkins and put together a European Tour in which the Broncos won four-of-six games in France and Switzerland. That trip brought the team closer together and set the stage for back-to-back 20-victory seasons.
Hawkins, who served nine years as head coach at NCAA Division II Quincy (Ill.) before joining McCullum, saw his team plow through the MAC Tournament last March with three double-digit victories. It marked Western's first league tournament championship in the 25-year history of the event. Many thought Hawkins, now under contract through 2009-10, deserved to be MAC Coach of the Year; however, Buffalo's Reggie Witherspoon claimed the honor after a turnaround season.

Scott Rook, professional angler from Arkansas, recalls numerous examples of how trailer hooks have helped improve his catch rate, but none are as memorable as what he and other pros call the "buzzbait tournament" held on Lake of the Ozarks in 1998. It was the second year Rook fished BASS tournaments, and it turned out to be a major turning point in his career.
Day Two of the 2008 Bassmaster Classic has the pros leap frogging around in the standings.

Thousands of new lures are introduced each year, but not all last as long as others.
In addition to the slower current in the river, another tournament also being held on the river had attracted much more fishing traffic, especially in key locations.
But the lure never reached its target. Instead it found the back of Sanford's head, lodging several barbs through his Costa Del Mar sunglass holders and into his scalp.

We Be Clubbin' (Or Yoga-ing)
We've noticed two yoga trends lately: more music played during class, and more weekend nighttime classes that serve as a kind of social happening. These phenoms collide at Laughing Lotus Yoga Center in the Mission, where Midnight Yoga has been bringing in the healthy crowd every Friday at 10 p.m. for a two-hour vinyasa class accompanied by local DJs and live music ranging from jazz to African. 3271 16th St., 415-355-1600, laughinglotus.com
Beastly Canoodling: Valentine's Day Voyeurism at the Zoo
The 2007 Christmas day mauling-to-death at the zoo may have diminished the Zoo's status as a top destination for furry cuddliness and adorability on parade. The Annual Valentine's Day Woo at the Zoo might just seal the deal that this is no place for kids. It's a veritable den of sex and violence.
The adults-only sex tour includes racy tid bits of beastly canoodling – plus champagne and covered strawberries. Zoo experts will answer burning questions like: do giraffes prefer Barry White or Beyonce? Is it wrong to give a box of chocolates to a dieting hippo? Are penguins really frigid?
How Obama Will Change Travel (Hello Cuba!)
Now that the parties are over, it's time for all this change to take place (word on the street is that was kind of Obama's MO). The new prez, a fellow jetsetter himself, has promised to make traveling easier on the masses. Here's what globetrotters have to look forward to in the coming four (maybe eight) years.

Maverick's Purse Now At $150K - Which Day Will it Be?
With a monster low-pressure swirl rolling towards the West Coast, it looks like Mavericks could make a run of it either Friday or Saturday. Forecasters are predicting swell in the 8-12 foot range, which isn't quite as big as last year, but still a good size for paddle-in surfers. And with the announcement that purse is the biggest in big-wave history - at $150K - we're all anxiously awaiting the announcement of when the games will begin.
Live in Paradise--and Get Paid for It
Sick and tired of your current life? Dream of somewhere nice and tropical and far from the Bay Area, because sometimes you just need to get away? Vacations to exotic locales are not really on many people's list of things to do this year--at least until the rapidly declining unemployment rate reverses itself. However, you're in luck. The Queensland tourism board in Australia is going to bring one lucky gal or guy to Hamilton Island (the central hub for the Great Barrier Reef) for an entire six months, to serve as the "island caretaker" as part of its "Best Job in the World" campaign. What does an island caretaker do, you may want to know?
Deciphering Hotel Deals with DealBase
Here's a common element of modern-day travel that can baffle even the most seasoned globetrotters among us: the hotel deal. In times like these, they seem to appear at every turn and on every travel web site. Some are good, decent, all-American deals that give us the chance to go, see and do for less. But just as many are gimmicky, glossy temptresses without much real value.
But as more and more travelers see deals as deciding factors in whether they'll travel far and wide in the coming year, the art of deciphering the travel deal becomes ever more important. So how is the average traveler to assess a hotel deal's, well, dealiness (see: truthiness)?
Happy Trails: Cross-Country Ski or Snowshoe for Free

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review[تعديل]
Hello. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc) was adopted by global community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on smaller wikis. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the admin activity review.
We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years):
- Ramsis II (administrator)
These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.
However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, Rschen7754 04:59، 9 يناير 2015 (يو تى سى)
Removal of private information[تعديل]
(My appologies if this is not the correct place to notify this)
We received a request on OTRS (for OTRS members, see ticket:2015020410017532) from the actress Lauren Phoenix which is having problems with the disclosure of her birth name. Currently she ended her career but she is receiving threats from religious fanatics. Since there are no reliable sources for her birth name, I removed her name from this Wiki but my edit was reverted. I would ask for members of this community to remove that info (and suppress all revisions where it can be found) in respect to her privacy and also to prevent the project from being unnecessarily sued for disclosing private information. Thank you for your understanding.

Inspire Campaign: Improving diversity, improving content[تعديل]
This March, we're organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas for improving gender diversity on Wikimedia projects.

If you have an idea that could help address this problem, please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 31.
All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive, positive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else's project to life.

Basil leaves brown spots
I have two basil plants that are recent transplants into containers. Neither of them are doing well. The first one I believe endured some root trauma when I transplanted it from the pot, accidentally ripping some of them at the bottom. Also, the weather at the time of transplant was extremely rainy for the next 3-4 days, with cool (high 50s-high 60s) for the most part. The leaves were pretty limp and floppy. And then some brownish-yellowish spots showed up on a couple of the leaves. About 5 days ago, I bought another basil plant, of the same brand (Bonnie), and transplanted it to a pot as well. The weather for the past few days has been sunny and warm, now, but both plants now have brown, dry patches on them, but they dont look like the photos of leaf-spot that I have seen on the internet. The brown patches are not circular,,, they are more long.
There is no discoloration of the stem--which I keep reading is part of the signs of fulsarium wilt... however, some of the pictures of leaves with fulsarium wilt do look somewhat similar to what my basil leaves are experiencing...
Is it possible that the brown patches are due to trauma from transplanting, sunlight, or the excessive rain? What else should I look for? How long will it take to kill the plants if they do have fulsarium wilt or some sort of blight?
A couple of days ago I watered the plants with some fish emulsion to help if there was any root damage during the transplant, but Im not really seeing any improvement.
Thank you for any help you can give me!
Here is a link that might be useful: photo of my basil leaves

He was not yet two-years-old, blue and out of breath.
With a chicken bone blocking his airway, Stephane Cornille was the first patient treated at Starship Children's Hospital 21 years ago.
As Starship celebrated its coming-of-age birthday party yesterday Cornille recounted the story of how the hospital staff saved his life.
A bone had lodged in his lung so his mum rushed him to the newly opened hospital, but she did have her reservations.
"My mum was afraid the machines weren't going to work, but it worked out fine," Cornille said.
The bone had to be surgically removed and he spent a night in the new wards.
He suffered no long-term health effects - not even a scar.
Now aged 22, Cornille works in healthcare. He said he was inspired by his early visit to Starship.
His job at Fisher and Paykel Healthcare in Auckland sees him helping to market the machines used at Starship Children's Hospital.
But his helping hand doesn't stop there.
Last year he ran the Auckland full marathon to raise money for the Starship Foundation.
Cornille said he is happy to help a hospital dedicated to children.
"You see by the decorations and layout for the hospital it is made for children.
"They care about children and it's nice we can do that in New Zealand."
Hospital staff and friends threw a coming of age afternoon tea party, with cake included.
The hospital opened on November 18, 1991 and was the country's first hospital for children.
Starship gained its name by its shape and is built around a central atrium with a rainforest theme, a playground and natural light.
