Kigali — Claudine Umuhoza's son turned 19 this Apr. 1. And while he may be one of at least thousands of children who were conceived during the Rwandan genocide, he's not officially classified as a survivor of it. But his mother is.
Two decades after the massacre - during which almost one million minority Tutsis and moderate Hutus lost their lives - most Rwandans are still coping with the trauma of the violence. Most affected are the women who have children born of genocidal rape. It is estimated that between 100,000 and 250,000 women were raped in Rwanda during the genocide.
Umuhoza, who lives in Gasabo district, near the Rwandan capital, Kigali, was only 23 when a plane carrying Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana and his Burundian counterpart, Cyprien Ntaryamira, was shot down over Rwanda's capital Kigali on Apr. 6, 1994.
During the conflict that ensued she was raped by seven men - one of whom stabbed her in the stomach with a machete. She was left to die, lying on the floor.
Umuhoza survived only because a Hutu neighbour helped her escape to safety and gave her a fake Hutu identity card.
"The neighbour who saved my life is no longer in Rwanda, his family went to Mozambique. I'd like to say thank you for saving me. I would have died if it was not for him," she remembered.
She lost four brothers and other family members in the massacre.
Now 43, Umuhoza is infected with HIV and has not yet told her son the origins of his birth.
"I have not being able to disclose to my son how he was born. My son doesn't know. I got married in September 1994, after the genocide ended.
"I was pregnant when I married and after giving birth my husband realised the child born was not his. He didn't accept this and as a result he left home," she told IPS.
Umuhoza never remarried. Rape is a taboo subject in Rwanda's society.
According to Jules Shell, the executive director and co-founder from Foundation Rwanda, even though this Central African nation has made great strides in rebuilding the country, women who were infected with HIV as a consequence of rape still face severe stigmatisation.
The U.S.-based NGO was established in 2008 and began supporting an initial cohort of 150 children born of rape with their schooling in 2009.
"A disproportionate number of the women who were raped were also infected by HIV," Shell told IPS, explaining that the exact infection rate was not known but it is estimated that 25 percent of the country's women are living with HIV.
According to the government, women comprise the majority, 51.8 percent of this country's population of 11.5 million. However, antiretroviral treatment only became widely available here 10 years ago and is accessible through the national healthcare system.
"We will never know the true number of children born of rapes committed during the genocide.
"As many women are afraid, unable, or understandably unwilling, to acknowledge the circumstance of their children's birth ... we will never know the true number," Shell said.
The consequences of the genocide still affect the youth who were born after it.
"Many of the young people are experiencing a phenomena common to the children of Holocaust survivors, known as the 'intergenerational inheritance of trauma'.
"This has resulted from the inability of mothers to speak openly to their children about their experiences and own trauma, which in turn affects them," explained Shell.
Like Umuhoza, many other women still have not publicly acknowledged that their children were born of rape, though their children are aware that they have fathers who are unknown to their mothers.
This also creates problems for these children when they try to register for national identity cards, which requires the identification of both names of father and mother.
But thanks to Foundation Rwanda, Umuhoza's son is about to finish high school - something she did not have the opportunity to do. Umuhoza is one of 600 mothers currently supported by Foundation Rwanda, which also provides fees and school material for their children.
"I am very happy that my son is in secondary school. One thing that I pray to God for is to see my son in school ... and I have a hope that he will be able to go to university.
Preventing another genocide
There are over 3,000 volunteers in the country using various strategies to bring about reconciliation such as community dialogue, community works, poverty-reduction activities and counselling.
Richard Kananga, director of Peacebuilding and Conflict Management department at the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission, said that another genocide could occur if national authorities do not promote inclusive and reconciliation to bring people together.
"Through community dialogues people are being able to talk to one another. Talks have helped to reduce the suspicion promoting trust and healing," he said.
"It is very important for me. I know it is expensive, but I didn't even think that he would attend secondary school. So doors may open suddenly. I have hope," she trusted.
Her dream is that her son becomes a lawyer to advocate for poor and marginalised people. However, he has dreams of his own and wants to become a doctor.
"He always sees me going for treatment and feeling a lot of pain and he dreams about being able to treat me," she explained.
Because of her ill health and the severe stomach pains caused by the machete wound, Umuhoza is only able to perform light housework.
As a survivor she receives medical treatment from the Government Assistance Fund for Genocide Survivors (FARG) -- to which the government allocates two percent of its national budget.
And on Apr. 15 she will undergo an operation to repair her wounds in the military hospital in Kigali.
Twenty years after the genocide, the country has not been able to forget its past, remarked Shell. She explained there is still stigma and discrimination against Tutsis, particularly in rural and isolated areas where they are very much a minority.
According to the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission (NURC) survey, at least 40 percent of Rwandans across the country say they still fear a new wave of genocide.
"Suspicion is still there. Trauma is still an issue. We still have recently-released prisoners who are now in society but not integrated yet," Richard Kananga, director of the Peacebuilding and Conflict Management department at the NURC, told IPS.
The NURC was created in 1999 to deal with aspects of discrimination among local communities and lead reconciliation in Rwanda.
According to Kananga, reconciliation is a continuous process.
"We can't tell how long it will take, it's a long-term process. We have researchers to measure how people perceive this process of human security in the country. We cannot say that in 20 more years we're going to reach 100 percent [of people who feel secure]," he said.
The children born after the genocide may represent a dark period of Rwanda's history, but, according to Shell, they also represent the "light and the hope for a brighter future."
Umuhoza believes it too.
"I have hopes that the future for Rwanda will be good. Comparing how the country was 20 years ago and how it is today. I wish for unity and reconciliation.
"The future of Rwanda will be better, people will be united. That doesn't mean that people will have forgotten they are Tutsi or Hutu. Rwandans will still know who they are," said the mother.

It was a great afternoon for those IndyCar fans who like their racing dramatic — as in "Real Housewives" dramatic. Instead of NBC and ABC, IndyCar should consider signing a TV deal and rerun this race on the Bravo network.
The 40th Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach on Sunday was a hot mess, which doesn't mean it wasn't exciting or entertaining.
It just had the aesthetics of a 3-year-old's finger painting.
At the day's end, only two of 23 drivers left the streets of Long Beach feeling keen about their day — Mike Conway, the street-race specialist who deftly avoided the carnage and won his second Long Beach Grand Prix, and third-place rookie Carlos Munoz, who was "Fast and Fortunate," earning his second podium appearance.
Everyone else was angry, frustrated, chagrined or in every other emotional state in between.
Seven of the 23 cars were KO'd during the race, and several drivers managed to be running at race end in spite of their ineffective work behind the wheel.
Pole sitter Ryan Hunter-Reay looked like he was going to be a wire-to-wire winner, then got impatient and took out himself and six other cars, including his Andretti Autosport teammate James Hinchcliffe.
Scott Dixon had the lead late but ran out of gas and also clipped Justin Wilson in a California no-fault incident.
Sebastien Bourdais, who started third, twice drove his car into the tires. Will Power finished second but was red-faced for a bump, unpenalized, that cost Simon Pagenaud his shot at the win.
There were eight penalties assessed and four yellow flags that ate up 18 of the 80 laps.
The day was reminiscent of the 2000 race, when 14 of 26 cars were knocked out during the race, allowing Paul Tracy, who started 17th, to win; or the 2002 race, when 10 of 20 cars were sidelined and Michael Andretti, starting 15th, won thanks to pit strategy.
Conway started 17th and led just the final three laps and only because the yellow flag timing ruined his pit strategy and fuel plans.
"It's racing. Anything can happen. The fastest guy doesn't always win," Munoz said.
Conway was ecstatic about the circumstances that led to his win.
"I can't believe it, really," he said. "It's been a really tough day.

It seems like having a female only forum will only make females be taken less seriously. I would rather work in a gender free environment where people work professionally without fear of common prejudices.
not to mention
1. That kind of suggests CA is men only
2. It reminds my of elementary school
But you guys do whatever you want
Actually it insults me as much as if someone created a white people (Caucasians) only forum. separate but equal anyone?

But, joining the girls' forum is by no means compulsory. I do have to say, though, that anybody who does take females less seriously, here or anywhere else, is making a mistake.
Mistakes do happen, though.

Otherwise, I demand the entire forum, since, as it seems, it's 'male only', to be private from the females from the whole forum.
Sound stupid? Oh wait, that's what is already happening but for the females.
So, you're that special... ?

I think it would be interesting if you gals changed the girl forum entry process. Make everyone collect five artefacts of girlishness as a way show their dedication to the sacred holy realm. That way both men and women would have a chance to enter.

text: Staff ReporterEarlier this month, the grand jury met in Perry County and returned nine indictments. Now less than a month later, the grand jury has met again and issued several more indictments. Last Friday, a grand jury handed down eight indictments in Perry County. Ronnie G. Holbrook, age 44 from Knott County, was indicted on six charges last week. Most of Holbrook's charges are related to driving offenses, including a felony charge of driving DUI on a suspended license for a second offense. Holbrook was also indicted on the charges of third offense of operating a motor vehicle under the influence, reckless driving, possession of marijuana, failure to illuminate headlamps, and failure to give a proper signal on a roadway. Holbrook was indicted on charges stemming from a late November incident last year and bail was set at $20,000.Bobby Sizemore, of Carrie in Knott County, was indicted for the felony charge of fraudulent use of a credit card. Sizemore, age 26, allegedly used a stolen credit card at a Rent-A-Center in an amount over $100 in November 2006. Bail was set at $20,000.The Grand Jury indicted Doug Randall Hall, 22, of Hazard, on three felony charges. Hall allegedly possessed a check worth $3,700 with the forged signature of account owner Janice North last July and is charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second-degree. Hall is also indicted on charges of cashing the check for his own account and using North's ATM card in an amount over $100. Hall's bail was set at $25,000.Also during July 2006, Pearl W. White, of Combs, allegedly had a forged check belonging to Venetta Duncan-Cole in the amount of $55.00 and then cashed the check. For allegedly possessing the forged check, White, age 28, was indicted on the felony charge of criminal possession of a forged instrument and the misdemeanor of theft by deception under $300 for charges that he cashed the check. White's bond is set at $5,000. Greta Napier, age 24, of Busy, was also indicted on charges relating to theft last week. Napier was charged with the felony of theft by unlawful taking over $300 and the misdemeanor of theft by unlawful taking under $300. Napier is alleged to have stolen goods worth more than $300 from J.C. Penny's and goods under $300 from Maurice's during October of last year. Her bail was set at $20,000.The Grand Jury also indicted Christopher J. Allen of Hazard. Allen, age 26, was charged with possession of a controlled substance after allegedly possessing methadone from a December 2005 incident. In addition to that felony charge, Allen was indicted on the misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana and faces a $25,000 bond.Two of the indictments handed down by the grand jury last week dealt with sex crimes. William "Bill" Moore, 58, of Hazard, was indicted on a felony charge of failure to comply with sex offender registration. The indictment came because Moore allegedly failed to vacate his residence located within 1,000 feet of a public school or playground. The indictment came with a $25,000 bond.William C. Fletcher, age 43, of Hazard, faces three felony charges after being indicted for third-degree rape, third-degree sodomy, and first-degree unlawful transaction with a minor. Between May and August of 2005, Fletcher allegedly had sexual intercourse, including sodomy, with a female less than 16 years-old while he was age 41. His bond was set at $100,000.All defendants are set for arraignment later in March according to indictments from the Circuit Court Clerk's office.

The "Tobacco Shredder & Cut Converter" is the highest quality electric tobacco grinder on the market. Not just for tobacco, this high-powered shredder can be used for all types of herbs and plant matter to give you the perfect size blend. Great for home use and mixing different herbs, this shredder can handle up to 50 grams of herbs at a time. That's about 10 times more than even the largest hand-held grinders!
The best part is... it's simple to use! Plug in the unit, pour in your desired herbs, secure the lid and push the operating button on top. A few quick pulses turns your leafy, chunky herbs into a finer uniform blend. Ideal for those who have difficulty operating a traditional grinder and for those who wish to break-up large amounts at once.
Maximize every drop of your special blend by shredding it into smaller pieces. Smaller pieces mean less waste and more surface area to extract active ingredients from. I The electric power makes grinding large quantities to any consistency easy and efficient. This is especially practical for people who vaporize, as a finer grind vaporizes more efficiently.
If you've ever thought about getting an electric grinder this is the one for you!

1996 Infiniti J30 Problems
A low or unstable idle may develop due to varnish deposits in the throttle body. Our technicians tell us that cleaning the throttle body with an approved cleaner should correct this concern.
A "clunking noise" may be noted when the vehicle is initially started and the automatic transmission is shifted into forward or reverse, Our technicians tall us this is a normal operation of the Anti lock brake system (ABS) and is of no concern.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate with throttle position switch fault codes stored. Our technicians tell us a revised throttle position switch is available to correct this concern.

|Boston LHP Lester leaves game with apparent injury
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 27 June 2013 16:50
Lester had cruised through the first seven innings, allowing just two runs and three hits before allowing back-to-back singles to begin the eighth. After running the count to 3-0 on Emilio Bonifacio, Red Sox manager John Farrell came running to the mound as the infield crowded around Lester.
Lester then walked off the field as reliever Junichi Tazawa came on in relief.
Lester retired 10 straight to begin the game and didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning, seemingly on pace for his second complete game this season - the other also coming against Toronto on May 10.
Lester had thrown just 94 pitches when he left. He was charged with four runs and five hits over seven-plus innings, striking out five and walking three.

RPM Blast: One or two piece string job...
Have any of you experimented between a 1 and 2 piece(non-hybrid) string job?
I play the RPM Blast at 56 in my Head Instinct MP and it has always been a 1 piece. I recently bought a stringer(gamma X-2 and best tennis purchase I've made) and noticed Head specs are for a 2 piece string job.
Not sure why it has always been strung with 1 piece with those specs, but can you tell a difference between a 1 and 2 piece?
Thanks in advance!
Short answer no. But string it two piece until you are more familiar with what you're doing.
two piece is much easier for this racquet. I'm surprised by all the questions about 1 piece to 2 piece questions lately....
Thanks! Decided to go with a hybrid which makes the question moot now.
welcome to the board! you are new here,so you havent seen the threads. dont use rpm!
Thanks Zap!
I actually really like the RPM(as sick as that might sound to some). Buying a reel definitely helps with the cost along with stringing it myself.
RPM just works for me because I shred through most other Polys I have played. Lux 4G may be an option to try once I finish the RPM Reel I have.
Any other suggestions?
I actually just started playing a hybrid of the RPM Blast and N.vy and love it. Seems to last and the spin is impressive.
oh ok. i guess its what you prefer. have you tried black magic?
Uh-oh. This has become a Strings Forum thread. :)
LOL Wasn't intended. I did wind up using a 2 piece and even went hybrid on another racket. Didn't notice a huge difference between the 1 piece and 2 but the hybrid feels great.
Irvin, I have actually played a 1 piece RPM Blast when I had my pro stringing my racquet. When I started stringing I saw that Head recommends a 2 piece, so I tried both and haven't felt a major difference between the 2. (although it takes me longer to string a 2 piece than a 1...still getting used to knots and how the RPM doesn't slide as easily as others.)
The hybrid stringing feels great, almost like I didn't change to a hybrid, but the multifil in the crosses has given me a little more feel and spin. I am a Main string breaker so having the RPM in there for durability seems to have gone a long way.
I would have thought if you strung the Instinct with 2 pieces it would have been faster. Something tells me you are stringing the racket bottom up for the cross when you do one piece. If I were doing one piece I would use an ATW pattern but I do not think that would be faster than two piece.
Just took me a bit longer because of the knots. I'm a "rookie" when it comes to stringing. Started with a 1 piece and got comfortable with it, but just started the 2 piece. I'm sure it will get quicker as I do more... i.e. today. Busted a string yesterday in a random spot. Main but in the throat grommet. Guessing I kinked the string accidentally.
We learn from our mistakes.
Knots and misweaves were my biggest problems at first.
You'll get faster and more accurate with time.
Racquetball racquets still bust my chops.
I can't remember all the bizarre patterns and still have to follow the 'recipe', even after six years.
"Start at 3HL and feed 8' 6" through the handle to of the left side of the bottom groove in the bearing at the handle and up the right side to 4HR pull and clamp (you may use a straw to help guide the string)"...arrgh!
I really should charge more for them.:)
Tennis racquets are easy.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Local officials are asking regulators to go slow when it comes to restarting the natural gas pipeline that exploded in Sissonville earlier this month.
W.Va. officials want slow gas line restart
Last week the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration said the company could plan to restart the 26.2-mile segment of pipe after taking a number of steps, including repairs and inspections.
The state Public Service Commission also gave the gas company a long list of demands that must be met before the pipe is restarted.
But some officials say safety must trump speed when getting the pipeline back up and running.
"We escaped the other day, we don't want to push our luck," county fire coordinator C.W. Sigman told the Charleston Daily Mail (http://bit.ly/VjMiDf ).
Four homes were destroyed, several others were damaged and a section of Interstate 77 was cooked in the Dec. 11 explosion. No one was seriously injured.
"Timing is not the issue. The issue is making sure it's safe," Sigman told The Charleston Gazette (http://bit.ly/VG4juy). "It already had one rupture and burnt several buildings down. We want to make sure it doesn't happen again so we don't want to be in any hurry."
Sigman said it likely would take a while for NiSource subsidiary Columbia Gas Transmission to meet the requirements. A company spokeswoman did not return a call seeking comment.
Among other things, the company has a month to run a "smart pig" through the pipe segment, which starts near Cross Lanes and runs northeastward. These metal pigs, which can resemble a metal jellyfish, travel through a pipeline to check for irregularities, including cracks and corrosion.
It is unclear how long or how expensive the process will be. A Columbia spokeswoman did not return a call seeking comment.

Wikibooks:Requests for deletion
|General | Proposals | Projects | Featured books
|General | Technical | Administrative
|Deletion | Undeletion | Import | Permissions
|Requests for (Un)deletion Archives
Deletion and Undeletion
Pages and books can be deleted by administrators. These decisions are generally backed by consensus from a discussion on this page under the deletion section. No process is perfect, and as such, pages or books can be nominated for undeletion in this section. The following is the procedure:
- Locate the page entry in the deletion log or the archived discussion. Some deleted pages have been speedily deleted without discussion.
- Review the Wikibooks:Deletion policy and Wikibooks:Media. If you can build a fair case on something which wasn't considered before, you can raise the issue here.
- Please add new nominations at the bottom of the section. Include a link to the archived discussion (or deletion log if there was none) and your rationale for why the page should be undeleted. If the community agrees, the page will be restored.
If you wish to view a deleted module or media file, list it here and explain why. An administrator will provide the deleted module to you in some form - either by quoting it in full, emailing it to you, or temporarily undeleting it. If you feel that an administrator is routinely deleting modules prematurely, or otherwise abusing their tools, please discuss the matter on the user's talk page, or at Administrative Assistance.
Pages that qualify for speedy deletion do not require discussion. This section is for discussing whether something belongs on Wikibooks or not for all other cases. Please give a reason and be prepared to defend it. Consensus is measured based on the strength of arguments not on numbers. Anyone can participate and everyone is encouraged to do so.
Please add a new request for deletion at the bottom of this section with a link to the page or book in the heading and a justification. Also place the {{rfd}} template at the top of the page you want deleted. If you are nominating an entire book, {{rfd}} goes on the top-level page, but not subpages. Nominations should cite relevant policy wherever possible.
High School Trigonometry, High School Engineering, High School Chemistry, High School Earth Science, High School Life Science, High School Biology, High School Calculus, High School Geometry, High School Probability and Statistics[edit]
We have received an OTRS ticket, number 2015011310024438, from the CK-12 Foundation requesting that these books (which are copied from CK-12) are properly attributed to them. The relevant text of the OTRS ticket, for those without access is:
- "...I am a science associate with the ck-12 foundation. I'm writing on behalf of ck-12 in regards to the versions of our flexbooks you have published on the wikibooks site. To begin I should say that we are extremely pleased to be featured on your site and greatly appreciate you taking the time to import our texts. We would like to ask that you attribute our content using the guidelines present on the ck-12 website. We also ask that you add this attribution to the individual concept pages; I stumbled upon a few of them and was concerned until i went back to the book and chapter pages and saw the attribution."
I can confirm the email comes from CK-12 based on the mail headers, etc. In responding to this request I have reviewed the CK-12 attribution guidelines here and noted that their license is CC-BY-NC. This license is incompatible with Wikibooks. Specifically, it does not allow commercial use, and Wikibooks does. Given this, I believe we have no choice but to delete the books.
I, or any admin, could delete these after 7 days as a copyright violation without an RFD, but given that some of them are featured books, I am raising this RFD to encourage others to check my interpretation of the license issue is correct. Note that I have named the nine books that are obviously CK-12 copies, but this deletion requirement may apply to other books from the same source - I will add them hear if I identify more. Thanks. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 13:05, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
- The importers of the content should also be notified and even admonished for such an extensive violation. Admins should do random content cross-pollination checks as they delete the pages by selecting some random bits of text and see if they find a match in other wikibook works. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 14:04, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- Note that this is more a violation of the terms of use than of copyright (in the consequence that it is an unauthorized relicensing of the works).
- One thing that I've been thinking about is the WHY we can't have non-commercial content on Wikibooks. It seems counterproductive in the primary goal of creating free content and not an issue to any of the parts involved in the work we do here. It seems simply a political decision and we may need to revisit it as it needn't be so, any primary objections would be about cross pollination but as this instance proves in a connected world that argument is very weak. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 23:43, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- The decision to only have material that was reusable for commercial reasons was made by the Wikimedia Foundation, it isn't something we can change locally unfortunately. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 08:52, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- This is quite interesting. A PDF of the CK-12 material was uploaded to Commons (here) in 2009. This is licensed with CC-BY-SA. It is therefore possible the material we have is permitted, if it was based on this older version. It'll need some more digging. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 12:21, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- The decision to only have material that was reusable for commercial reasons was made by the Wikimedia Foundation, it isn't something we can change locally unfortunately. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 08:52, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- I am interested in proper copyright problems where some git copies and pastes things from elsewhere without any permission. The kind of nitty gritty isn't my concern and I would be all for providing whatever attribution they want and then ignoring the problem. If someone from the Foundation (the Wikimedia Foundation of the CK-12 Foundation) instructs us to delete then we should, otherwise we should just carry on as normal...--ЗAНИA talk 13:26, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
It's annoying always having to find this in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, when are we going to take care of these books? Thanks. --atcovi (talk) 15:54, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
- There are two choices: delete them, or retain them. If the latter, then every page has to have a URL linking back to the original source for attribution purposes as this has been demanded by the copyright owner. While interpretation of the "by attribution" part of the license is possible, I think the copyright holder is making a reasonable request as just providing attribution on , say, the main page of the book, is not really providing a clear link to the source. It is because of the need to edit the 100s of pages to do this that nobody has done it yet. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 12:55, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
- Could this be done by bot? Seems a simple though tedious task. Liam987 talk 19:05, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, easily - there's standard tasks in the pywikipedia bot framework to do this kind of thing (I used it before for adding reference sections and categories to books) and AWB could also be used. My bot has been out of service for quite a while but I could look into reviving it. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 12:43, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

All pages contained in category:pywikibot and it's sub-cats.[edit]
I propose this hole pywikibot manual for deleting. The origin pywikibot manual is hold by mw:, you'll find it as mw:Manual:Pywikibot with all it's content. The pages at Wikibooks are just older copies, they are outdated and nobody will update it here. The local copy may confuse developers and the duplication is not useful at all. Xqt (discuss • contribs) 16:10, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
- Why don't you propose that the media wiki book be only hosted by Wikibooks (it seems the better project to have it), not that I particularly care, only addressing your duplication concern. I really don't see lack of advancement in itself as a proper reason for deletion. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 16:36, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
- The manual is nearby the Mediawiki software (and its manual) where it concerns to. Maybe it was the first thought coming from meta. It does not make any sense to spread manuals on several platforms, especially when nobody keeps it up-to-date. This would be confusing bot owners. It is a property of that instruction manual of an often used bot framework in perpetual beta state to be outdated within a short time. Therefor I guess it would be a good idea to delete this page duplications, which you can verify by the version histories. Xqt (discuss • contribs) 19:00, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
- I fail to see the rationality in discussing the notions like "nearby" when we are talking about the same Internet software infrastructure and same hardware setup (Wikimedia) especially after the merging efforts being made. In any case this isn't the place to argue about that particular need.
- I'm not taking a position of opposition against your request at present, just pointing out that the grounds your are formulating it are very weak and in my view misdirected...
- In regards to Wikibooks the nearness to the software isn't an issues, nor is it the duplication, in fact the issues you raised (confusion, etc) are good points to press the developers to, especially in light of general Wikimedia policies that fragmented the scope of each wiki subproject, move the manual here (in fact every manual that resides in the Media Wiki project), even facilitating future translations of the same. Our project is the best one to develop manuals and textbooks, that unarguably is our raison detre. Look for instance how we centralized our use of images on Commons, the logic is the same... --Panic (discuss • contribs) 20:08, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
- @Panic2k4, Xqt: It seems to me that since these manuals are for Mediawiki software, and are self-referential to Wikimedia, they should be kept at Mediawiki, especially since the software is used for non-Wikimedia sites. If we imported the manuals, it would follow that we should import all the descriptions of extensions and parser functions and so forth. That's what the Mediawiki website is for; to host it all here would muddle our mission and would be self-referential. But that is all a whole debate in itself. If we're going to have one, we should have them all, and so it makes no sense just having this one manual here, which is only an outdated version of the one at Mediawiki anyway. Liam987 talk 21:01, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Kate Hinds
Kate Hinds covers transportation for WNYC News.
In the past, bicyclists wanting to cross Central Park had two legal choices: ride a couple of extra miles around the loop, or use the more direct -- but narrow and often dangerous -- transverses used by vehicles.
Until now.
Shortly before New Year's, the New York City Parks Department and the Central Park Conservancy began a six-month pilot program permitting bicyclists to share a pedestrian path south of the 97th Street transverse. According to a Parks Department spokesperson, the path will be monitored to see if it should continue -- or possibly even be expanded.
When the shared path program was first announced last June, there were supposed to be two. Parks wouldn't comment on why the number of paths in the trial program had been reduced to one. But the lanes were not exactly welcomed by Community Board 8 -- the board representing the east side. And last year, Central Park seemed to become center stage for a bike ticketing crackdown.
But earlier this week, when TN checked out the path, all was quiet. The park was relatively uncrowded at 10:30 in the morning on the west side.
Earlier reports indicted that there might be posted speed limits for cyclists, but the signs currently in place tell bicyclists to "ride slowly." Other rules: yield to pedestrians, ride in single file, and no bicycle groups over four people.
If you're looking for it, the path is just south of the 97th Street transverse and passes just north of the tennis courts on the West Side. (For a map of Central Park, go here.)
Have you used the path yet? Let us know your experience, and comment below!
Didn't even know this existed. I'd almost rather ride with the vehicles on the sunken transverse. So used to the foot paths being off limits to bikes(except to tourists who can't read signs apparently) that I'd never even noticed the little green signs or the bike painted on the pavement.
Having started a new job on the UES (I live on the UWS) I have been splitting my time between walking across the park and biking. The 96th St crossing is great, especially as it has been relatively free of both pedestrians and bikes when I've gone through. Pedestrians have responded to my bell and moved aside.
The tough part is having to walk from the east drive to Fifth Ave (you can pretty much ride right in/out on the west side from the 96th St entrance). The new lanes on 72nd coming in June will be very welcome as you will be able to ride all the way (and both directions) between CPW to 5th Ave.
The biggest problem I have - both walking and biking - is the number of dogs off their leashes. I love dogs, but twice now while walking, I've had my pants dirtied from friendly dogs coming over and jumping up. I imagine that people afarid of dogs must be terrified of walking through the park. Interestingly, a) the problem is much worse on the East Side and b) leash laws are clearly not enforced, yet enforcement officers were out ticketing this morning for bikes that don't make a full stop on the loop at a red light. Priorities . . .
I wish the rest of the park would be properly marked with the NO BIKING signs. I walk my dogs regularly in the park near Tavern on the Green. I have been hit twice in the past 5 yrs by TOURIST on bikes with cameras on pedestrian paths. I couldn't avoid them as they came at me from behind. I also saw a toddler nearly hit by one. It's not just the tourist that are a problem. I've seen neighbors of mine flying by at high speeds on pedestrian paths. I tell them it's not allowed and they say they know but since there are no signs they will fight it if something was to happen or if they are ticketed. To me the biggest culprit to blame are the bike rental places. They never tell the tourists they are to only stay on the main road as they know some people will then not rent. I'm always stopping tourist now and telling them.
THe city screams they need money. Well here is your opportunity. Get cops to ticket the tourist and the bike companies make them all responsible. You watch how much safer the park will become.
I worry that there will be a tragedy if we don't do something. A dog or child will be killed.
I wonder- if I'm hit again. Who I should go after. I will sue the park, the city and the biking companies!
I think it's a great idea to use the pedestrian path south of the transverse. Though I hope signage/instructions will be clear about cyclists leaving the path and re-entering the drives. It's amazing to me how rarely people look for oncoming traffic.

Living and biking in Santa Monica I can tell you guys that the stick story is urban legend for the gullible.
It's crowded near the pier, yes. There are peds on the bike path (maybe even from NYC!) who don't see the walking path next to it. On July 4th there were so many cyclists on the path that the lifeguards declared a "Sigalert" due to traffic congestion - just like the 405 freeway, and advised people to "take an alternate route".
No people with sticks attacking the castle, nor cyclists on the bike path. Might be a movie plot in there somewhere?
Bravo. This is a great idea. Nearly all bikers on the paths bike responsibly - unlike the frequent speeders with the racing bikes on the paved roads. When this program proves to be safe, would like to see other paths open to bikes as well. To make sure program suceeds, speed limits or warnings should be posted freely and park police should ticket speeders and recklass bikers on paths.
But this makes no sense. There is already a road for emergency motor vehicles across 103rd St. that, I believe, bikes are allowed to use. (Certainly the police are in the habit of allowing it.)
The shared path needs to happen further south.

Hooks' defense, offense sputter
CORPUS CHRISTI - Hooks manager Wes Clements missed the final three innings of Monday's game after being ejected for the first time this season.
Unfortunately for Clements, what he saw before his ouster was an all-too-common sight during his team's just-concluded homestand.
Two key errors and a lack of hitting -- the Hooks only had five hits -- doomed Corpus Christi to a 6-1 loss to the Frisco RoughRiders at Whataburger Field.
The Hooks (11-13) saw their two-game winning streak snapped and finished 3-5 on their homestand.
"We only got one leadoff runner on," said Clements, whose team stranded eight runners and went 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position. "You're not going to win games and you can't score runs that way.
"When it comes down to it, if you don't hit with men in scoring position, you won't win games. It's that simple. We can't continue to put pressure on our pitchers all the time."
During their five losses on the homestand, the Hooks committed nine errors and gave up nine unearned runs.
Monday's damage was two errors and three unearned runs, with the first two off starter Jeremy Johnson, who was making his first start since April 12 after a stint on the disabled list with an arm injury.
In the third inning, Johnson gave up singles to Renny Osuna and Guilder Rodriguez on a bunt to start the inning. Marcus Lemon then sacrificed the runners over, but third baseman Michael Garciaparra's throw sailed past first baseman Koby Clemens.
That allowed Osuna to score, Rodriguez to get to third and put Lemon on second. Rodriguez then scored on a Johnson wild pitch.
The Riders added another unearned run in the fifth off reliever Jared Wells. Osuna dropped a bunt for a single and Esposito's throw to first was well off the mark, rolling near the tunnel to the visitors' clubhouse to put Osuna on second.
One out later, Lemon singled to center to plate Osuna for a 3-0 lead.
"Garciaparra needs to set his feet to throw that ball, which he knows," Clements said. "And Espo needs to not throw that ball, which he knows."
The Hooks got the run back in the bottom of the inning against Frisco starter Martin Perez. Corpus Christi loaded the bases with two outs, and German Duran drew a full-count walk to force in a run. Koby Clemens then battled Perez to a 2-2 count before striking out.
"We had opportunities and had the right guys up," Clements said. "Duran had a great at-bat. We were one hit away from tying it or going ahead right there."
Clements had his night cut short in the sixth. Jon Gaston singled with one out and Marcos Cabral then dropped a blooper over second baseman Matt Lawson into short right field.
Lawson grabbed the ball, twisted around and threw to shortstop Osuna to force Gaston, who had to wait for the ball to drop in. Umpire Jimmy Volpi called Gaston out on a close play.
That set off Clements, who raced over from the third-base coach's box to argue with Volpi, who didn't take long to eject the manager. Clements then yelled at Volpi some more before exiting to the clubhouse.
"I thought Gas clearly beat it," Clements said. "I said, 'You missed the call,' and after that, he ejected me."
Frisco piled on with solo homers by Lawson, Wes Bankston and Osuna all notching their first - off reliever Erick Abreu.

Methacton's Eric Straup had seen Isaac Philip before, and he knew what he had to do to notch his third consecutive win over the Wissahickon senior in a 120-pound duel.
"Front headlock," Straup said. "I've been using that a lot."
Straup's pin of Philip helped seal a loud win for Methacton as the Warriors downed host Wissahickon, 65-5, in a nonconference bout Friday.
"I've wrestled him before, and I did pretty good," Straup said. "It was pretty much the same thing today against him."
Straup was one of the Methacton regulars to post wins, and some of the team's younger guys also had a productive match, as the Warriors' freshmen combined for five wins.

Oak Creek - An officer waiting for a tow truck after arresting a Franklin man for drunken driving in the 2600 block of West Rawson Avenue arrested a second drunken driver at the same location during the early morning hours of Dec. 30.
According to the Oak Creek police report:
An officer came across a vehicle parked in the middle of the road in the 2600 block of West Rawson Avenue about 2:45 a.m. Dec. 30. While questioning the driver, a 26-year-old Franklin man, the officer noticed the man smelled of alcohol. The man admitted to drinking four drinks in a bar prior to driving and failed field sobriety tests. A breath test showed he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.13, and he was arrested for drunken driving.
While the officer sat in his squad waiting for the driver's car to be towed from the scene, about 3:25 a.m., another driver pulled up behind the squad, stopped his car in traffic and began texting on his cellphone. The squad had its emergency lights activated at the time.
The officer went to talk to the driver, a 23-year-old Oak Creek man, and found he had slurred speech and red, glassy eyes and smelled of alcohol. The man admitted to drinking at bars in downtown Milwaukee with friends and stated multiple times that he had made a stupid mistake, should not have driven home and that he was too drunk to drive. He also failed field sobriety tests and was arrested for drunken driving. His BAC was 0.14.
This is the second time in less than two months that Oak Creek police have arrested two drunken drivers at the same place in a short period of time.
At 1:50 a.m. Nov. 4, police arrested a 33-year-old Oak Creek woman for drunken driving after she almost struck a police squad in the 1500 block of West Puetz Road. An officer had parked the squad, with its emergency lights activated, about 1:30 a.m. to block traffic at the scene of a drunken driving accident. Due to that collision, a 29-year-old Oak Creek man had been arrested for drunken driving.

"ALSACE REGION OF FRANCE" Alsace by thinking
Alsace Travel Guide: 2,136 reviews and 6,803 photos
Alsace [and Lorraine], unlike the other French Regions, abound in both French and German influences.
The region is situated in mid-eastern to north-eastern France. It is bound to the north by Germany and to the east by the Rhine River [with Germany across the Rhine], to the south by Switzerland and the region of Franche-Comté and to the west by the beautiful Vosges mountains and the region of Lorraine.
Much of Alsace is found on a fertile alluvial plain, between the Rhine River and the Vosges mountains in the west. The lower area, that rises from the Rhine, is checkered with vineyards. The higher slopes are forested and sprinkled with monasteries and old castles.
The region of Alsace consists of the départements of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin. Its principal cities are Colmar, Mulhouse and the regional capital Strasbourg.
Alsace [and Lorraine] is unique, among French regions, due to its dual Franco-Germanic cultures.
The majority of the population speaks French with a decided German accent, the cuisine is an able blend of French and German cooking, many of the towns of the region have German names and the village architecture delights in a pronounced Germanic influence.
A visit to this area is always a delightful experience. It provides an enjoyable and relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle. One can drive, or ride a train, along the Rhine and watch the scenery unfold before your eyes. The word 'Magnifique' describes this beautiful region, with its peaceful and restful influence.
One can stay in B&Bs [a zimmer frei], on the slopes of the mountains, to enjoy the local cuisine and people.
Or, one can visit Strasbourg, the headquarters of the European Parliament, with all of its wonderful architecture, diverse culture and international cuisine. But in spite of its international flavor, Strasbourg is a somewhat laid back city compared to large cities in general.
The history of Alsace, and Rhine River History, is well documented to as far back as 58 BC and the Roman rule. Through the centuries it has been the object of multiple invasions by a succession of Germanic tribes. During the 5th century, the Alemanni tribe successfully invaded the region. In 496, the Merovingian Franks, under Clovis I, conquered the Alemanni, making Alsace a Frankish duchy.
During the decline of the Merovingien Dynasty, the area that resembles that of today's départements of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin was taken.
In 842 AD the Strasbourg Oath, an accord written in Romance (a French language forerunner) and Teutonic (old German), created the Verdun Treaty. This became the basis, some time after Charlemagne's death, for dividing his Holy Roman Empire among the three sons of Louis I.
See: Holy Roman Empire Timeline and some of the Holy Roman Empire Emperors, Map Of Holy Roman Empire
In 843, Alsace was integrated into Lothair's kingdom of Lotharingia with other German territories belonging to the Carolingians and was Christianized. From the Treaty of Mersen, in 870, to the 17th century, it was ruled by Holy Roman Empire Emperors, becoming part of the duchy of Swabia [Alemannia] when Charles the Bald and Louis the German divided Lotharingia. The ten major cities of Alsace then flourished, under the sponsorship of the Holy Roman emperors, as free imperial cities.
In the medieval period, Colmar, Haguenau and Strasbourg took on greater importance and became free imperial cities. During the Reformation, Strasbourg became the center of Alsatian Protestantism. The attempts, by the Catholic Habsburgs to eradicate the heresy, only served to make the Protestants more resolute.
During the Wars of Religion, of the late 16th century, French influence in the region grew. With the Thirty Years' War, Alsatian cities appealed to the French crown to aid against the Catholics. In 1648, the Peace of Westphalia made Alsace an informal French protectorate and then a French province. In 1681, under Louis XIV [Louis Xiv France King], the French occupied Strasbourg and took complete control of Alsace. By the beginning of the French Revolution, Alsace had been completely incorporated into France by its division into the two départements of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin in 1789.
Between the years 1815 and 1870 the ties between Alsace and the rest of France were tightened through the establishment of universal suffrage in 1848 and the building of the railroads. But, France's defeat, at the hands of the Germans in 1871, removed Alsace and part of Lorraine, from the French map, annexing it to Germany until 1918.
In 1940, the German Blitz outflanked the French fortifications along the Maginot Line. Under the armistice of 1940, Germany again occupied Alsace. France regained her lost provinces following the Allied victory in World War II.
Fully one-third of Alsace's population lives in Colmar, Mulhouse and Strasbourg. In the country, the fertile rural areas are densely populated, resulting in land holding being small and fragmented. This is the region of thriving viticulture and the production of such wines as Auxerrois, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Pino Gris, Muscat Ottonel, Riesling and Sylvaner. Alsace is also known for its beer. Hops, sugar beets and tobacco are also grown.
The region's Grand Canal d'Alsace produces hydroelectric power at Kembs and Ottmarscheim and there is a nuclear power plant in Haut-Rhin at Fessenheim. The region constitutes one of the most important industrial areas in France. Manufactured items include chemicals, electrical appliances and textiles. Potash is mined and processed.
The Wine of Alsace
Alsatian wines are 'extraordinaire' and very different from their German counterparts. In fact, the taste of Alsatian Rieslings differs greatly from Rieslings that are produced in other parts of the world.
Futhermore, unlike all other French wines, Alsacian Riesling is known for its grape and not for the region it is grown in.
The Gewurtzraminer is another favorite of Alsace and comes from a much fruitier and robust tasting grape.
The Cheese of Alsace
Alsace is known for its Munster Cheeses
The Cuisine - The traditional foods of alsace consist of:
Pork specialties.
Foie Gras
Goose or duck liver pâtés
Tarte a l'oignon
Tarte aux Quetsches is amoung famous Alsace recipes
It consists of a tart of plums in flan
Camp Struthof was the site of the Nazi concentration camp. To walk here is to realize how evil mankind can be. Many people, including a friend of mine's father, was in the French resistance. He was sent to this camp, and then on to Dacau. He survived it all.
- Pros:Good food and Wine
- Cons:It's very fattening

"I looked at a lot of sites to find a twins card that looked good and I found it here! I had never heard of Tiny Prints until then and I know I will use them in the future. The card looked so good and very colorful! I loved it!"
"Originally I had bought baby shower invitations at a store. They were cute but my handwriting is so bad that after I filled out a few I was disappointed. I wanted something more professional looking. So I went online and checked out some websites. I needed something beautiful and fast. Bingo! The mother to be was thrilled when she saw the quality and design of the invitation and they arrived within 2 days!! Unfortunately to mail the invitations I had to pay extra postage. I didn't realize until I received the order confirmation, that due to the envelope size, additional postage would be required. So that meant a trip to the post office. More time and money spent! But just so you know, there is an envelope that will accommodate the invitation and not require additional postage. Some how I missed that choice in my haste in placing my order. Overall I am super happy with the product!!"
"I absolutely loved this invite. I received a ton of compliments on how cute and colorful it was. I don't really have a theme for my baby shower, just bright and fun. This card was perfect."
"This wabout as easy as one would hope when custom ordering invitations. Wonderful product and service. Try this company!"
"I ordered this card to use as a celebratory luncheon invitation. The mother-to-be did not want a shower so I was challenged to find an invite that did not say "baby shower". With a little editing of the language, this card was perfect. The bright colors were exactly what I was looking for."

In terms of gastronomy, the Southern part of Lisbon is an area of the most freshly caught fish with an abundance of sea food. The customary high quality of the catch justifies that certain species are often associated with these places: whiting, swordfish, sea Bass, daurade and clams from Sesimbra and red mullet and crabs from Setúbal. Cheese made from ewe's milk in Azeitão and wines produced in the region of Palmela, with special emphasis on "Moscatel" and "Periquita" varieties, are also internationally renowned for their high quality.
The house is located at Gof course Quinta do Peru, 6 Km far from Azeitão village, where you will find a reasonable range of shops, a bakery, a bank, post office and supermarkets. It also has excellent wine cellars (which you can visit). Wine, cheeses and a kind of small Swiss roll ("tortas") are all specialities of the village.
For those who like to cook their own fish/seafood, buy from the markets in Setúbal or Sesimbra (although there's usually excellent fish at the small market in Azeitão). Meat can be bought easily enough from the butcher or supermarket in the village. Sesimbra city is also famous for fish and shellfish restaurants.
Nearby, there are a number of places to visit and there are tours of the Serra da Arrábida, boat trips to see dolphins and lots of beaches (which can get pretty crowded in summer, but you can beat the crowds by getting there early - the house is 15 kms by road from the nearest beaches).
The magnificent bay of Portinho de Arrabida, with its clear quiet waters, is ideal for water sports; the local white sandy beaches are as close as 15 Km and the Arrabida beach is known to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal. With its calm waters, its ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
Some of the best scuba diving in Portugal can be done from Portinho de Arrabida and Sesimbra, a few kms away. There is a local scuba diving centre where wonderful dives can be organized.
Finally, for the golfers, there are two recommended championship golf courses: Quinta de Perú ( on site) and Aroeira ( 15Km), Tróia (20 kms and a ferry away) a difficult course but one of the most beautiful in Portugal, and Riba Golf (40 Kms away).
