Currently the USB mode has been tested on Samsung Galaxy Nexus , Asus Transformer , Asus Nexus 7 , Samsung Galaxy S3
There has been problems reported with android version 4.3 and USB host, there is a major bug in the release, which is set to be updated at some point in the future.
Please note : Most devices will need a OTG cable to enable usb host mode. See phone specific instructions for more information.
***** Microphone SUPPORT ******
The second option is the microphone input to the android device. This can be used to attach a scope lead to the jack socket. More information can be found at the following website.
Features include, triggering for different impulse and continuous signals. In addition to this there is level measurement and fundamental frequency readings
It is possible to control the amplitude, time/div and trigger level whilst monitoring. Settings included trigger directions, sample rates and voltage span calibration.

About this location
The Yorkshire region
The geology of North Yorkshire is closely reflected in its landscape. Within the county are the North York Moors and most of the Yorkshire Dales; two of eleven areas of countryside within England and Wales to be officially designated as national parks. Between the North York Moors in the east and the Pennine Hills in the west lie the Vales of Mowbray and York. The Tees Lowlands lie to the north of the North York Moors and the Vale of Pickering lies to the south. Its eastern border is the North sea coast.
The Yorkshire dales and Harrogate has a host of stately homes full of art and treasures, visit Ripley Castle one of the first castles to be built in stone and still home to the Ingilby family today.
Marton-cum-Grafton is ideally located to visit the medieval city of York and explore the ancient 'shambles' with individual boutiques, or York Minster. Leeds is also a short distance with many shops including Harvey Nichols and the Victoria Quarter. Or drop into Betty's tea shop in Harrogate for an unforgettable experience.
There are so many great days out, stuff to do. Things to see. Inside, outside, and sometimes free!
Marton cum Grafton
Marton-cum-Grafton is an idyllic Yorkshire village located within the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated approx 15 miles(24K) north west of the city of York and 6 miles (9.7K) north east of the market town of Knaresborough and 3 miles (5K) south of Bouroghbridge.
The village pub is two minutes walk from the cottages and is a sixteenth century inn which still retains many of its original features www.thepunchbowlmartoncumgrafton.com
The village is steeped in history dating back to the doomsday book. The locals are true friendly Yorkshire folk, there are often events on at the village hall. You will find a well stocked shop and post office in the village.
The web site www.marton-cum-grafton.org gives details of what's happening, and when, in the village (including the open gardens in the summer months) and there is also a local history group which has its own web site which might be of interest to you.www.martoncumgraftonhistory.com
An ideal location to enjoy the beauty of the local landscape and places of interest, with activities for all of the family, including walks and cycling, and some of the best country pubs and restaurants around.

"Great location but slightly disappointing accommodation"
The Barn is one of two Primrose Cottages in Grafton cum Marton. The village is very picturesque and we had a great meal in the local pub/ restaurant, The Punchbowl, which had a good beer garden and friendly staff. Grafton is ideally situated only minutes from the A1 and with Harrogate, York and Knaresborough all close by.
The property has a huge garden, which is particularly good for children. There is a patio area/BBQ, duck pond and chicken coop and on a sunny day you could spend hours in the garden with the kids.
The accommodation is modern with good amenities, both bedrooms of good size with en suite and TVs. The main issue we had was to do with the curtains in the bedrooms, which were cream coloured and thin meaning that they let in a lot of light. This wouldn't be a problem in winter but in summer it meant that my six year old's bedroom was full of light until 10pm and again from 6 in the morning. We ended up hanging the throws from the bed over the curtains to make the rooms a little more dark.
We also felt that for a five star accredited holiday cottage the housekeeping could have been better; I found a broken glass beside one of the beds (partially hidden by some wooden ducks!) and we had to replace several of the light bulbs when we arrived as they weren't working. Small things perhaps, but not quite what we were expecting.
In summary, great location but slightly disappointing accommodation.

"Fabulous stay - highly recommended"
My husband and I stayed at The Barn for 4 nights with my parents and our 11 month old daughter. We were very impressed and had a fabulous time.
The Barn has been converted to a very high standard and is extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. The decor is gorgeous and we instantly felt right at home. The kitchen is modern and well equipped with everything you will need. There is a spacious dining/living area where we enjoyed some lovely evenings playing cards or watching TV. There are two spacious bedrooms with the most comfortable beds and pillows. Each bedroom has a beautiful ensuite bathroom. From the livingroom there are glass doors which open onto a private garden with table and chairs and a barbeque area and beyond this there are beautiful views of the fields and duck pond with so much wildlife to see.
The village is so picturesque we enjoyed taking a walk to the local pub for dinner. The owner Phillipa was lovely and made us feel very welcome and provided us with local information.
North Yorkshire itself is a fabulous place to visit for a holiday with so much to do and see. It is such a beautiful place. We can't wait to return hopefully next year and The Barn or The Stables will be our first choice for accommodation - Thanks for a wonderful stay!

no basement insulation an option?
Our Township Code Official here in NJ has said that if we put XPS on the walls, we'd have to use furring strips b/c there can be no space between the XPS and the drywall for fire safety (Doesn't furring strips provide a space though?)
I don't want to use furring strips b/c of the easier install of electrical wiring.
The Township won't accept XPS within the frame.
If I build a standard 2x4 frame, he said I would have to use kraft-faced insulation in order to have a vapor barrier (I can't use the XPS in this situation)
I have an interior perimeter drain system with 2 sump pumps and back-up. We're planning to put in a subfloor of XPS and OSB (Barricade) and then carpet over this. We've relandscaped and all gutter spout have been extended away from house. There has been no smells in our basement and no mold problems. We have humidifiers running down there that hose right into the sump pumps.
I'm not required to have insulation b/c I have a gas furnace that is >90% efficiency. Since insulation absorbs so much moisture, I'm contemplating not putting in any insulation in the walls at all and talk to my HVAC guy about the appropriate ventilation requirements.
Any advice on this proposed plan? Anything I'm missing? Will we be paying a fortune in heating bills?
The furring strips on Dow Wallmate secure the XPS to the wall while providing a convenient point of attachment for the drywall. There is no space between the drywall and foam. For video, scroll down to "interior basement and crawlspace."
I've never read about not allowing space between foam insulation and fireproofing. And disallowing foamboard between the studs really takes the cake for irrationality!
Heat loss from uninsulated basement walls can account for up to one-third of total heating costs, so I would definitely not go naked, so to speak.
Here is a link that might be useful: Basement Insulation Systems
A high efficiency furnace doesn't do much good if your house is low efficiency otherwise. You might as well just open a window. The best practice seems to be to glue foam to the walls and seal and tape all joints to create an air barrier. Then frame walls in front to run your plumbing and electrical in and hang your drywall on. This has become the preferred method for insulating basements. Ask the inspector to show you the code citation. Some make poor interpretations of the code, some are just incompetent. More than likely your guy is just misunderstanding something in the code language. Show him this article and the details in fig. 15: http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/building_america/pdfs/db/35017.pdf
Thanks worthy and nmccarty for your comments. I'm familiar with Wallmate but did not want to use furring strips.
I think they are taking the fire code requirement of covering insulation with something fire-resistant such as drywall very literally as "covering right on the XPS". I'll see if they'll at least let me put it in between studs - otherwise, how is this acceptable for fiberglass insulation?
I have a feeling it will be difficult to convince them of the preferred way - my township is notorious for being difficult. And I've talked to more than a dozen contractors who did not know anything about applying XPS to basement walls as a preferred practice, so this information is just slow to get out.
I'll let you know what I end up with.
In my opinion, putting XPS between the studs defeats the whole purpose of using it. By putting it directly on the concrete behind a stud wall it creates an air barrier that prevents any humid interior air from condensing on the cool concrete. It also separates the wood from the concrete thus preventing it from wicking moisture from the walls and reducing the risk of mold. By putting it between the studs you create a lot of extra work in taping everything together to create the air barrier and you are not keeping the wood off the walls.
In my opinion, putting XPS between the studs defeats the whole purpose of using it. Agreed.
If quiet respectful discussions with your Code officials, as mmccarty suggests, is still fruitless, you could consider using Membrain, a vapour retarder that changes permeability depending on conditions.

A router makes nice grooves in XPS.
Probably not what you want to do, but I put on one 2" layer of XPS with firring strips, put some grooves for wires, and then I glued on another 2" layer of XPS with grooves I put in with a dado blade to cover the firring strips. Haven't found time to put drywall over it yet. It's amazing how solid it is: you can bounce into it with no worries.
HD here in PA sells slotted 1.5" XPS. They are 2 x 8 sheets slotted so that when two panels are put together, the slot is the perfect size for a fur strip. You may then frame in front of this of adhere your drywall right to the fur strips...that make for some difficulty with outlets though but I used this method for in my closets.
Whatever insulation is employed, the inspector is going to ensure that the fire blocking requirement is met and that there are no 'chimneys' or cavities within the wall system which could funnel smoke & fire upwards. I haven't had any problems in 17 finished basement projects with traditional 2x4 framing with kraft faced fiberglass insulation. Absolutely no to unfaced fiberglass with polyethylene vapor barrier (ala - most new home builders) which as we know, traps moisture. The kraft faced batts allow controlled moisture diffusion, don't trap moisture and are an economical solution. I would not build a basement wall without framing - need space for electrical, plumbing, low voltage wiring, etc.

A nagging question kept popping into my head as I watched this DVD: "Why haven't I heard of this movie before?!?!" It is easily the funniest movie I have seen in years. Sure there are not huge marquee names in the cast, but doesn't a wonderfully refreshing story and talented cast count for anything anymore? OK, so even if the distributor spent more on this morning's latte run than the marketing campaign for this film, that's no reason why you shouldn't run out and buy it immediately.
Ok horror fans, what have we learned so far?
A.) If'n a feller wears flannel and didn't get around to shavin' for a while, he's probably a hillbilly. And…
B.) Hillbillies kill all college kids who choose camping over Ft. Lauderdale as a vacation option.
(For more details on the horror movie rule book, watch the "Scream" franchise.) Horror lesson is over. Now for the story:
Tucker and Dale are two of the sweetest guys you have ever met, despite the fact that they wear flannel and have missed a couple of shaves lately. They are excited to finally own a fixer-upper vacation property in the woods and embark on a vacation to fix'er up. Enter a demographically balanced group of college kids with a deep seated fear of things that go "Yee Haw" in the night. They sit around the campfire telling each other scary stories till they finally have to relieve the tension with a good skinny dip in the dark murky pond.
Meanwhile, Tucker and Dale decide to do a little night fishing in a dark murky pond when what should they come upon, but the hot girl disrobing on a rock to enjoy a refreshing night swim. When she is startled and falls into the water, she is knocked unconscious and Dale leaps to her rescue. From this point on the college kids are convinced that their hot friend has been kidnapped by the hillbillies and they decide to stage a counter-attack to re-capture their friend. The rest of the movie is a hilarious series of misunderstandings and most unlikely unfortunate events that will have you dying with laughter.
Alan Tudyk (Tucker) and Tyler Labine (Dale) are amazing together as the good hearted backwoods Samaritans just trying to enjoy their vacation and keep these crazy college kids from dying. Kudos to director Eli Craig for his brilliant casting of them, because in a movie like this, good casting IS good directing. This brilliant duo carry the Hillbilarity to epic proportions. Katrina Bowden is lovely as Allison the hot college girl with a good heart and an open mind to different walks of life.
The rest of the college kids are the only reason I didn't give this movie all five stars. They weren't written to be overly funny and they weren't played overly straight. Perhaps if Craig had told that half of the cast that this was actually a straight horror movie it would have worked better. None the less, it's a really fun romp through the back forty of "What if" land. I'm looking forward to the sequel. Yee Haw!
Extras "
The DVD extras include The Making of Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil, Tucker & Dale ARE Evil ( the College Kids point of view), Outtakes (Which are very funny!), Storyboards, Commentary with Dir. Craig, Tudyk, and Labine, and HDNet: A look at Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil.

Much has been written the past several years about the "Aussie Invasion" in Hollywood. Or was it the "Invasion of the Brits?"

Tough year to call…but here are the winners
Some very good films in 2014. Unlike the year before, however, not an easy year to predict who will take home the Oscar. Here's my best bet…mixed with just enough "rooting for" optimism. Best Actor In the most dramatic moment of the night, with half of the room expecting Eddie Redmayne to win for The … Continue reading
Best Films of 2014
1 Birdman Easily one of the most unique films in years. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's innovative concept brilliant – a love note to all artists. Keaton wins Oscar, as does the film. 2 Boyhood Amazing accomplishment by a director who has stayed true to his storytelling sensibilities. Linklater wins Oscar. 3 Foxcatcher Hypnotic, haunting, and heartbreaking. … Continue reading
Two Days, One Night a hard look at reality
YEP YEP – Two Days, One Night examines both the callous cruelty of capitalism as well as the bleak and dehumanizing effects of socialism. I was immediately reminded of the shocking short story, The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, in which a random citizen is selected via a town square lottery – for execution. In the case of Two Days, One … Continue reading

Boyhood one for the ages
INSPIRED – Kids are smart. And funny. And interesting.

Independent filmmaker deluxe Linklater has always known this. All the way back to Dazed and Confused (1993), through his most commercial hit to date, School of … Continue reading

The Big Mac: Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions and a big data-driven quality assurance program for the bun. (Photo courtesy of McDonald's.)
Big data helps mail your letters, it makes your burgers better, and it allows intelligence agencies to piece together disparate pieces of data into insights that might help them foil the next terrorist attack.
Big data early adopters were a hot topic March 12 at the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association's second annual Big Data Technology Symposium, as speakers briefed an audience of industry and federal executives on businesses and agencies already making use of big data.
Keynote speaker Rita Sallam, research vice president for Gartner, outlined several successful uses of big data – sometimes in tongue-in-cheek fashion that had the audience laughing – but the many examples provided both inspiration and solace to those whose agencies have yet to jump into the big data fray.
Noteworthy private sector successes included:
Does your agency need big data? Maybe not.
Big data's big hurdle: Federal policy.
On the public-sector side of things, big data use cases included: the Centers for Disease Control leveraging analytics tools to predict the flu in real-time; the Department of Treasury using complex algorithms to predict insider trading and detect fraud; and the United States Postal Service using a complex mesh of supercomputers and 16 terabytes of in-memory computing to sift through 400 billion records in real time to combat fraud.
Successes though they may be, Sallam and other speakers were clear: Working big data solutions do not happen overnight.
"The reality is these solutions involved changes to organizations that have been successful with them," Sallam said. "It takes new skills, cultural attitudes -- are you even prepared to hear the truth if you get it? Do your processes support new information" coming in?
"What's possible is great, and value is huge, but executing is not easy," Sallam said.
Dominic Sale, senior policy analyst in the Office of Management and Budget's Office of E-Government and Information Technology, said the government is "swimming in data," both structured and unstructured. Even though the "meticulous capture of every government function has been going on for years," leading to a smorgasbord of potentially exploitable records to glean insights from, Sale said cultural, legal, security and privacy barriers remain in the way, as does a "lack in talent" that agencies can recruit to analyze insights.
Yet the time is now for big data, Sale said.
"This is the right time, the technology has arrived – there's a reason we weren't having a big data conference ten years ago," Sale said. "We simply can't afford to wait longer. As government, it's imperative to serve people."

"United States Postal Service [is] using a complex mesh of supercomputers and 16 terabytes of in-memory computing to sift through 400 billion records in real time to combat fraud. " Ummm... I wouldn't hold the USPS up as a paragon of "success". However, I think that you might have identified one of the reasons that USPS is failing. Why do they need a network of supercomputers whose capability exceeds that of NOAA's weather forecast centers? Didn't the mail get delivered back when there were no ZIP codes or barcodes? USPS needs to take a step backwards, away from big data and focus on getting "back to basics."

It is not my desire to keep any memorial from a family member that wants to manage it. Most often I'm quite happy to transfer to relatives. Please be aware though that I don't do "mass transfers" - please submit your request for each memorial on the "Edit" tab of the memorial. Do not send them via my posted email address. I also do not transfer my direct relatives - SORRY.
The "Suggest a Correction" feature should be used to submit all corrections, an ORIGINAL biography, and family links to memorials that do not fall under other guidelines.
Please understand, I maintain thousands of memorials, and I happy to do so, however I can't keep up with individual email requests. I make every attempt to process requests made through the FAG EDIT feature in a timely manner - most of the time daily. If you've sent me corrections or transfer requests via email and I haven't responded - I would highly suggest that you resubmit them correctly through the EDIT tab. Please and thank you go a LONG way with me - rudeness and being demanding do not.

The majority of the memorials that I maintain for those related to me (blood or marriage) list my familiar relationship in the comments. (Not all, but most.) I do this for several reasons - mainly as a way to pay my respect but also as "cousin bait" ... I would LOVE to share trees and photos with anyone having a connection. Feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or Kellie Jensen Walton on facebook.
Please feel free to use my images for your genealogy project - both online and off. Credit is expected and greatly appreciated.
If we are related, please say hi!
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
on polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care,
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I'd exist,
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
in flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
one hundred years ago -
Spreads out among the ones you left
who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
and come to visit you.
~Author Unknown
A few additional things about memorials I create and/or maintain:
* If I am in a cemetery photographing my family grave markers - as time allows, I often photograph other stones in the cemetery. This doesn't mean I have any further information on the person other than what is posted - but often I will look up that person on ancestry or footnote to verify a dob, dod or familiar connection. All the information I obtain will be posted - that is all I have, but hopefully it is useful to you. Again, I post everything I have at the time the memorial is entered. If I do not post a photo of a grave marker - it's simply because I don't have one.
* Sometimes I will post a photo of a grave that already has a photo posted - this isn't an error. It's usually because my photograph is clearer, has additional information or is what *I* deem more genealogically (is that even a word?) "worthy". Basically, it's just the photo I prefer. It's not done to offend the person who took the first photo - I assure you. Another reason I may add an additional photo in a memorial is because when a memorial starts to deteriorate - the entire look of the memorial can change very quickly - I think it's important to see an accurate representation of what a stone looks like "today" ... or as close to today as possible. I try very hard to get a good clean shots of a stone - sometimes this can be quite difficult, but I try. If I post photos from different angles - it's because sometimes multiple shots are needed to view all the engraving on the stone.
*When I photograph a cemetery - I will always do my best to find a transcribed roster or listing which I will post. This CAN and DOES lead to duplicates ... it happens, no one is perfect. If I've made a mistake, duplicate or omission - I can promise I didn't do so intentionally. Please let me know. Also, before you request that I delete a duplicate memorial - make sure MY memorial wasn't created first. I will not delete a duplicate memorial if mine was created first - regardless of the fact that the new memorial may have additional information or pictures. I would suggest submitting that additional information to the FIRST memorial through the "Edit" tab.
*If I post a name with no additional information or image, it's because I have no additional information or image. If I run across a cemetery listing or roster, I will post that information. *Some info* is better than "no info" ... a name is better than no name. Rest assured, I am not holding additional information hostage (yes, I was *actually* accused of that once! lol) - I post the information I have. Please don't email asking for additional information - if I had it, it would be posted. If a cemetery is local to me, I do try to get back there and photograph the names I've previously posted, but this is not always possible. If there isn't a photo posted on a memorial I created or maintain - you can request one by clicking on the "Request A Photo" link on the memorial.

Kellie you might want to add this information on his memorial the photographer went to a lot of work and posted this info on the back of the photo..I had done a photo request and this is his statement.
Green-Wood Cemetery
Section 206, Public Lot 21347, Grave #467.
Public lot graves, measuring about 4 by 8 feet in area, have room for only one stone apiece, limiting the space for inscribed text. A typical public lot grave can accommodate about 5 adults�more if those interred are infants or have been cremated. Many public lot graves are unmarked. The RIKER grave is among them. It is at the center of the photo, immediately to the left of the DENZLER grave (small dark stone).
[NOTE: Grave burial list from online cemetery records, with burial dates, which may represent reburials after removal from previous graves. This list may be incomplete. Contact the cemetery for more complete information about this grave and its occupants at http://www.green-wood.com:
RIKER: Anna E, 3/17/1923; Bella G, 9/30/1894; George, 3/16/1892; and Leonard F, 4/19/1908.]

Thank you
I am Rick Smith, the grandson of Clarence and Mabel Sciance. I live in Atlanta, and I'm mentioned in her obituary. I stumbled onto this site by accident following a Google search, and saw the pictures you uploaded of my grandparents' grave.
I see that you've posted many other pictures and obits, and you probably have people thanking you for them often. I would like to add my own thanks, since this is the only online photos I've seen connected to my grandparents.
I loved my grandpa, and I was very close to my grandmother all my life. You honor them by posting the information on this site, and I appreciate it so much.

I have attached the photo of her headstone to her Find A Grave memorial. Please note the stone lists her date of death as 1981 and not 1918 as listed on Find A Grave. I hope this is the correct headstone. If it is you will need to submit ad edit for date of death.

When shit hits the fan, P-Stone is there to capture the action with beer in hand. This is a heavy edit. Buckle up.
Burnout checks in with the Vans bros before their final video summit. As seen in the November 2014 issue.
It was one of the heaviest road crews of all time. And with the hardcore edits finished, here's some of the more loose and fun outtakes. What a trip, thanks everyone.
It starts with an epic mini ramp session, then makes its way to some tall 'crete, and before you know it CK1 is skating vert, padless. There is no way you won't go skate after watching this...
Orcas Island is the first stop. Grant, Cory, Elijah, Vincent, Raven, Ronnie, Raney, and company turn up big time.
P-Stone hit the great Northwest with an all-star cast led by local tour guide Cory Kennedy. Episodes start next week.
Rowan slides out, K Walks dodges death and Big John is literally groundbreaking - Vans team, still in Oklahoma.
A onetime Toy Machine rider, Grant Hatfield found his true calling behind the lens, blogging for Vans and shooting for the Deadbeat Club, among others. He's today's guest poster while Burnout's in France.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
17 May 2011 13:46 GMT | Africa, Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania
The UN court for Rwanda has handed the general who was army chief during the country's 1994 genocide a 30-year jail term for his role in the mass killing, including calling for the murder of ethnic Tutsis.
The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) found that Augustine Bizimungu had complete control over the men he commanded, who were involved in the massacres that started on the night of April 6.
Augustin Ndindiliyimana, the former head of the paramiltary police, was also convicted of genocide crimes but the court ordered his release as he had already spent 11 years behind bars since his arrest.
Bizimungu and Ndindiliyimana are among the most senior figures to be tried by the tribunal, based in the Tanzanian city of Arusha, for the genocide in which 800,000 people, mostly minority Tutsis, were killed.The genocide targeted mostly minority Tutsis and was orchestrated by machete-wielding Hutus calling themselves the Interahamwe, meaning "those who work together".
It was triggered by the shooting down of a plane carrying Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu president who was returning from peace talks with the now-ruling Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) in neighbouring Tanzania.
All people on board, including the president of neighbouring Burundi, were killed. It is not clear who shot down the aircraft.
PM's murder
The ICTR sentenced two other senior officers to 20 years in jail for war crimes and crimes against humanity for ordering the murder of Agathe Uwilingiyimana, the Rwandan prime minister.The judges found that Major Francois-Xavier Nzuwonemeye and Captain Innocent Sagahutu instructed an armoured unit to kill Uwilingiyimana and made no attempt to punish the soldiers who killed the Belgian UN Blue Helmets protecting her.The killing of the Belgians triggered the withdrawal of the UN force stationed in Rwanda.The long-running case, known as the Military II trial, had been effectively adjourned since June 2009 when prosecutors requested life sentences for all four defendants while their defence lawyers asked for their acquittal.
In the Military I trial, Colonel Theoneste Bagosora, presented by the prosecutor as the brains behind the genocide, was sentenced to life in prison in December 2008, along with two other senior military figures.
Bagosora appealed, with the hearing running from March 30 to April 1, but the appeal verdict has yet to be handed down.
The ICTR was set up in 1994 and tasked only with trying those who bear the greatest responsibility for the genocide.
Lower-ranking officials and citizens accused of taking part in the massacre have been tried in Rwanda, either in the normal court system or at grass roots tribunals called "gacaca".
The gacaca are a revamped version of traditional tribunals that settled disputes in villages. The accused have no lawyers and locals considered to be upright citizens form panels of judges.
The gacaca have come in for a barrage of criticism from rights groups but have, according to the Rwandan authorities, enabled over one million people accused of involvement in the genocide to be tried.
They were set up as a solution to what became a crippling backlog of genocide cases.

Advocates critique new state water-quality standards
Environmental advocates criticized a long-overdue update of North Carolina water-quality standards for not including limits on fracking chemicals and other contaminants.
States are required to review their water-quality standards every three years, but North Carolina last did so in 2007. The state Environmental Management Commission is expected to consider them this fall.
"I'm reluctant to applaud the state for doing something it should have done years ago," said Will Hendrick, an attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center and one of 11 speakers, at a public hearing Wednesday. "The science has been there for years – it's just been ignored."
The state has particularly lagged in updating standards for metals, which can be toxic. North Carolina is the only state in the Southeast not to adopt federally recommended standards, the Environmental Protection Agency said in 2010.
But the state's rewrite of metals standards includes a loophole that EPA says might violate the Clean Water Act.
The provision, called the "biological trump," says some metals standards can be broken if there's no evidence aquatic life has been harmed. EPA says such biological studies aren't suited to preventing water pollution, which is the aim of federal law.
"It's not the intent of the Clean Water Act that you pollute to death, which is what (the trump) is," said Catawba Riverkeeper Sam Perkins. He also criticized the plan for measuring metals in dissolved form, deleting measurements of metal particles that might also release toxic material into the water column.
Other speakers said the state should adopt a standard for methylmercury, a toxic form of mercury that commonly contaminates fish and can leave the babies of women who eat the fish with permanent learning and development problems.
Fracking chemicals grew special attention. The state Mining and Energy Commission is expected to start issuing permits for fracking of natural gas in 2015. Hundreds of chemicals may be used in the process, and the toxicity of many of them is not known.
"It seems like the General Assembly is rushing into fracking the way a kid at summer camp rushes into a lake," said Allen Hubbard, a Lincolnton geologist whose professional work included cleaning up tainted groundwater.
State officials acknowledge that the standards were crafted to minimize new compliance costs on the municipalities and industries that will be most affected by them. Ninety-six percent of wastewater dischargers won't see any changes in their permits, the N.C. Division of Water Resources says, while 106 facilities will see new limits for metals.
Sarah Collins of the N.C. League of Municipalities praised the standards for their "good balance of environmental protection without putting unnecessary costs on the regulated community."
The rules are expected to go before the state Environmental Management Commission between November and January. They will then go to the state Rules Review Commission for a final review before taking effect. EPA will review the standards once they're in final form.

Marble Sealer
I have marble throughout my bathroom. It was sealed when installed almost a year ago. I believe I need to reseal each year or so. Can anyone recommend a sealer to use - preferably an easy one to apply?
I'm popping over from kitchens, where we have many, many fans of Porous Plus 511. My marble kitchen counters sealed with it, as are 2 bathroom counters. I couldn't be happier.
I'm not sure what the process would be for removing your old sealer before using the Porous Plus 511. You'd have to check on that.
Also, I always apply 3 coats, with 72 hours in between each coat. This was something I picked up on the forum, and my counters are bulletproof as far as staining. The directions on the bottle are a little different. You may want to do a test area.
Please don't use Dry Treat unless you have tested it on a spare tile or something. What I've seen changes the texture of the stone. There was also a thread on one of the GW forums about it staining.
Porous Plus and Stone Tech are the two you see used most often. My fabricator used Stone Tech. I've been happy with it so I will stay with it.

Special education funding top priority for Toronto, Peel school board chairs
Jo-Ann Davis was first elected as a Toronto Catholic trustee three years ago. She was just voted in as chair of the board, leading into next fall's election.

Special education funding is top-of-mind for at least two of the newly elected school board chairs across Greater Toronto.
Trustee Jo-Ann Davis, now head of the Toronto Catholic District School Board, said she will get together with the board's 11 other trustees to determine priorities, but they have all already agreed she and board staff need to meet with the education ministry to talk about special education funding.
"We spend $20 million more (each year) than we get and we need to have a conversation" about funding student needs, said Davis, trustee for Ward 9 (which encompasses St. Paul's, Toronto Centre and Trinity-Spadina).
She stressed it is not simply a plea for more money — though she wonders if other ministries may have grants the board could tap into — but a chance to discuss ideas about programming.
Meanwhile Janet McDougald, a 25-year trustee, was acclaimed chair of the Peel District School Board and in her acceptance speech launched a "fix the formula" campaign.
While the province's entire education funding formula is "flawed and outdated." she told fellow trustees "the area that needs to be dealt with first is special education."
More than 22,000 of the board's 153,000 students receive some form of special education. One such grant is based on enrolment; another for high-needs students ranges from $1,700 per student at some boards to Peel's $339, the lowest amount of all 72 school boards, she added.
In total, it adds up to a $14-million funding gap, said McDougald, who has been chair for 16 years and represents the Mississauga area.
"In contrast, the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board, serving the same communities, receives $375 per student," McDougald said after her election.
"Our neighbouring Halton District School Board gets $601 per student. And we get $339. Again we recognize boards' needs vary, but it's the size of the funding variations that are unacceptable."
The Toronto District School Board trustees re-elected Chair Chris Bolton, a former teacher and principal who has served as trustee for Trinity-Spadina for a decade.
Trustee Mari Rutka was elected vice-chair. She represents the Willowdale area.

Best Cities for PR Professionals
February 5, 2015
By: Autumn Cooper, @autumncooper5
When it comes to world of PR, deciding where to start your career could have a huge impact on your future happiness, success, and salary in the industry. PR is such an exciting field and it could take you anywhere in the world. I love to travel so for someone like me, I love knowing that the field I chose could help me live out another passion of mine.
During the past couple of months, I have spent many hours online searching for an internship. With a willingness to relocate to anywhere the job requires, I noticed it was very difficult to decide what city to begin applying to internships in. I realized that if I'm having this much trouble with just finding a summer internships, then I can only imagine the difficulties a graduating seniors must be facing.
One thing you'll learn is that you don't have to be in the U.S. to take advantage of a great PR job. Whether you're working for a firm, business, or a non-profit, PR can take you anywhere in the world. In my opinion, everyone should experience living in a different city at least once. PR is ever changing, just like the rest of the world; go experience it.
So here are some of the top cities around the world for PR professionals to take their career (in no particular order).
1. New York, New York
New York is an obvious choice because it is highly concentrated with PR jobs. New York will give you a chance to work with some of the best in the field, and work for some of the top agencies in the world. If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere!
2. Washington, D.C.
Being the U.S. capital, there is also a huge concentration of jobs in D.C., especially political PR jobs. Not only is there a large amount of jobs, but they also pay well. The average salary in D.C. is almost double the nation's average salary.
3. Seattle, Washington
Seattle is one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S., and is absolutely beautiful. The PRSA chapter that started in Seattle is one of the 10 largest chapters in the country. Edelman, the world's largest PR firm, has an office in Seattle, Washington.
4. Chicago, Illinois
Chicago has a large amount of political, healthcare, and financial PR jobs. Whatever your interests are, Chicago most likely will have a job for you! Chicago is a great choice so you can still get the large city feel, but it can still feel like home, since it's not as large as NYC.
5. London
London has some of the world's largest and best agencies (Ogilvy, Edelmen, and Weber Shandwick). International PR is becoming huge, and London is a great city to experience it in. I know after studying abroad in London this past summer that it is an amazing city to visit and live in. Definitely on the top of my list to live in after college!
6. Toronto, Ontario
Toronto has a number of opportunities, especially in public relations. Toronto has one of best strategic communications firms in the world, Fleishman-Hillard. Toronto isn't just known for its job opportunities, but also its quality of life.
7. Boston, Massachusetts
Boston has been ranked one of the top metropolitan areas for "PR Specialists." This city will be a great city for PR professionals, no matter what stage of your career you're in. It also thrives in culture, nightlife, and social interactions.
8. Sofia, Bulgaria
I love learning about PR opportunities internationally. There is an increasingly number of opportunities in PR that are happening outside of the United States. Sofia is home to M3 Communications Group, which won top PR Agency in Europe. I say you should book your flight and give it a try!
9. San Francisco/Los Angeles, California
Cities in California are known for their high pay. California gives you a wide variety of options for the type of PR job you could get. Whether you want a publicity job or work in healthcare, California has it!
10. Salt Lake City, Utah
There is always something to do in Salt Lake City, with a variety of attractions like art galleries, professional sports, and festivals. These types of attractions will make your quality of life as a PR professional even better. To make things even better, Salt Lake City also has a large amount of PR/communication firms, non-profits, and corporations.

Term Cycles
You may find that the larger time frames above the one-hour chart. You can get Forex charts every fifteen minutes! The problem with these short-term cycles is that they fluctuate wildly and reflect too much random fluctuation influenced by luck. You can avoid stress and unrealistic excitement by avoiding short-term cycles.
Equity stop orders are something that traders in the foreign exchange market. This stop will cease trading activity after investments have dropped below a specific percentage of the starting total.
You need to keep a cool head when you are trading with Forex, otherwise you will end up losing money.
Foreign Exchange
Don't think that you're going to go into Forex trading on foreign exchange. The best Foreign Exchange traders have been analyzing for many years. The odds of you randomly discovering an untried but wildly successful strategy are pretty slim. Do your research and do what's been proven to work.
If you strive for success in the forex market, it can be helpful to start small with a mini account first. This is the simplest way to know a good trades and bad trades.
Always put some type of stop loss order on your investments. Stop loss orders act like a risk mitigator to minimize your monies invested in the Foreign Exchange market. You can protect your capital by placing stop loss order.
Many seasoned and successful foreign exchange market traders will advise you to record your trades in a journal. Write down both positive and your failures in this journal. This will let you to examine your results over time and continue using strategies that have worked in the past.
A necessary lesson for anyone involved in Foreign Exchange is knowing when to cut your losses and move on. This kind of wishful thinking is not a winning strategy.
One piece of the most important things to have for foreign exchange trading success is perseverance. Every trader runs into some bad luck. What differentiates profitable traders from the losers is perseverance.
Use market signals to help you decide when to enter or sell. Most software allows you when the rate you're looking for.
You should keep in mind that no central place for the foreign exchange market. This means that there is no one event that can send the entire market into a natural disaster. There is no reason to panic to sell everything when something happens. Major events can definitely affect the market, but generally only on the currencies of the affected country.
Stop loss is an extremely important tool for a forex because they limit the amount of money you can lose.
Begin Forex trading program by practicing with a mini-account. This helps you limit your losses and can be a nice practice without risking too much money. While this may seem less exciting than full trading, you also won't go broke.
Foreign Exchange
Be sure to have a proper plan for market trading on the foreign exchange. Do not rely on short gains when you are going into foreign exchange trading.
It is inadvisable to trade currency pairs that do not have high liquidity. You will have difficulty finding buyers for the more rare forms of currency.
Using a virtual account or demo platform to learn the ropes of forex trading is a very effective method.
Make a plan. Failure is more likely to happen if you don't have a trading strategy. Having a rational trading system to go by and executing that plan means you will be less likely to make decisions based on emotions since you are trying to uphold the details of your plan.
Globally, the largest market is foreign exchange. You will be better off if you know what the value of all currencies are. If you do not know these ins and outs it can be a high risk venture.
