The smoothest performing parallax background for Visual Composer. So smooth, even the top selling ThemeForest WordPress theme is using ours.
The BEST Parallax Image & Video Addon For Visual Composer
Video & Parallax add-on allows you to easily add image parallax scrolling effects and video backgrounds to your WordPress site. The plugin integrates straight into Visual Composer's row settings, and is flexible to suit your theme's design.
Just activate the plugin into your WordPress theme and video & parallax background images will become available for Visual Composer rows. Create normal or full-width image parallax backgrounds and even video backgrounds.
We are happy to announce that our plugin is now hardware accelerated, which means that your parallax will scroll smoothly. Try it out in our demo site and compare our parallax against what others have.
We've also included a compatibility mode within the plugin page just incase you run into troubles with your theme. And if you find that you are having conflicts with your theme, don't hesitate to contact us through our support forum, we'll work with you to make it work with your theme
Why Use Our Plugin?
Visual Composer has recently included a parallax setting in their rows. What we have here is a solution that's way beyond what's provided in terms of performance and flexibility. We have over 2,000 satisfied customers and more than a year's worth of experience enhancing and growing our tech. This plugin is the culmination of our knowledge in CSS and our plugin will continuously be updated and work better than the rest. We ourselves do not like our websites to have choppy parallaxes, we like it fast and snappy, and we're betting you do too.
With our plugin, you can create:
- Normal Width or Full-width Backgrounds of…
- Up, Down, Left, Right Parallax Backgrounds,
- Video Backgrounds,
- Fixed Image Backgrounds, and
- Solid Colored Backgrounds
Works in any theme with Visual Composer
We have tested & our customers have verified the compatibility with these themes below.
- Avada
- X Theme (image uploader)

Themes marked as (compatibility mode) are proven to work if compatibility mode is turned on. Compatibility mode can be turned on in the plugins page.
Themes marked as (image uploader) are proven to work if the background image is uploaded in our own tab, since the Design Options tab or other normal Visual Composer behavior was modified.
If your theme isn't listed above, our plugin should still work fine. If it doesn't, write to us in support and we'll make it work.
How Does it Work?
When you click on the
edit button on your rows, you will see a new tab & new parameters added:
Just add a large background image to your row using the normal method, then select a Parallax Direction and you're good to go. Or, just paste in the URL of your YouTube or Vimeo video.
If your Visual Composer is modified and the Design Options tab was removed, it's okay! You can use your modified one's background image setting if it has one, or use the background image setting found in our Parallax tab
- Video Backgrounds, YouTube or Vimeo
- Parallax in four directions: up, down, left and right, or even fixed
- Hardware accelerated parallax effects for smooth performance,
- Plug and play, just activate the plugin along with Visual Composer,
- Option to enable smooth scrolling,
- Option to break out of containers, to allow your video or parallax to occupy more space, or even the full browser width,
- Make your row colored and image backgrounds into a full row background NEW!
- Option to turn off parallax in mobile devices,
- Translation files included: English .mo and .po files, and
- Integrates perfectly in the Visual Composer interface
- Uses requestAnimationFrame for smooth animating
- Now even easier to use! Just upload a high resolution image, we do the rest
- Compatibility mode, for themes with modified copies of Visual Composer

Pregame: Newest Padres face Reds
CINCINNATI Jaff Decker will make his first major league start in left field Sunday as the Padres attempt to win their fifth series since the All-Star break in the rubber match of a three-game series against the Reds at Great American Ball Park.
Decker, 23, the 42nd overall pick of the 2008 draft, is in his third tour with the Padres this season – although his first two trips to the major leagues lasted a total of five days and resulted in only two plate appearances (0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored).
Decker was hitting .293 in 100 games with Triple-A Tucson when he was promoted Friday night after left fielder Carlos Quentin was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sore right knee.
Decker is one of four reserves in the Padres lineup Sunday against Fallbrook High grad Mike Leake.
Logan Forsythe will play second and hit fifth. Decker will hit sixth. Ronny Cedeno will get his second start at short and Rene Rivera will catch as right-hander Ian Kennedy goes for his second win as a Padre.
The Padres won 3-1 Friday night behind Tyson Ross and their defense. The win was the Padres sixth straight against left-handed starting pitchers since July 11.
Speaking of Ross, his 2.20 ERA as a starter is the fourth-best in the major leagues among starting pitchers with at least seven starts and his .182 opponents batting average leads the major leagues.
PADRES (53-63) at REDS (64-52)
Time: 10:10 a.m. Game: 3 of 3
TV: Fox Sports San Diego
Radio: 1090-AM, 860-AM (Spanish)
Today's matchup
Padres RHP Ian Kennedy (4-8, 5.14 ERA)
Kennedy vs. the Reds: 3-0 career, 1.27 ERA in three starts (first appearance this season).
Kennedy at Great American Ball Park: 2-0 career, 1.35 ERA in two starts (first appearance this season).
Kennedy will be making his second start for the Padres since being acquired from Arizona on July 31 in exchange for left-handed reliever Joe Thatcher, minor league reliever Matt Stites and a Compensation Round B draft pick. Kennedy won his first start as a Padre, holding the Yankees to two runs on four hits and four walks over 5 2/3 innings at Petco Park last Sunday.
Reds vs. Kennedy:
Jay Bruce: .222 (2-for-9, 2B, 3 SO)
Zack Cozart: .000 (0-for-4, 2 SO)
Todd Frazier: .667 (2-for-3)
Ryan Hanigan: .250 (2-for-8, SO)
Cesar Izturis: .500 (3-for-6, 2 2B, 2 SO)
Xavier Paul: .000 (0-for-1)
Brandon Phillips: .100 (1-for-10, SO)
Joey Votto: .500 (3-for-6, 2 2B, SO)
Reds RHP Mike Leake (10-5. 2.94 ERA)
Leake vs. the Padres: 0-1 career, 5.19 ERA in two starts (0-0 this season, 0.00 ERA in one start).
Leake at Great American Ball Park: 21-16 career, 4.57 ERA in 55 games, 54 starts (3-4 this season, 4.21 ERA in 10 starts).
Fallbrook High product Leake, 25, blanked the Padres on four hits and two walks over seven innings at Petco Park on July 29 in a game the Reds lost 2-1 on Chris Denorfia's two-run, walk-off homer in the ninth against Cincinnati closer Aroldis Chapman. He allowed seven runs to St. Louis last Sunday, tying his career high. In his 14 starts before last Sunday, Leake was 8-2 with a 1.82 ERA including nine starts where he allowed zero or one run while pitching at least six innings.

Would you want to smell your games?
It is one of the most memorable lines in movie history. As the air around him is rent by explosions and the whiz of bullets, Colonel Kilgore stands nonchalantly with hands on hips, sniffs the acrid breeze and declares: I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
Now actor Robert Duvalls famous scene from the Vietnam epic Apocalypse Now could be re-enacted in millions of teenagers bedrooms thanks to technology that will allow computer games consoles to release the stench of war.
The Ministry of Defence is part-funding a project in which foul smells are released into the air during training videos so that recruits literally learn to sniff out trouble.
Scent of danger: Realistic smells could soon be added to games like this
If the technology proves a success, it is expected to be taken up by manufacturers of top-selling consoles such as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The team of psychologists and computer engineers developing the technology, on behalf of the British Army, plan to bombard troops with odours ranging from body sweat to diesel exhaust.
The aim is to teach recruits that the presence of some smells and absence of others could indicate danger.
At the moment, the technology is still in its infancy. But the scientists say it will soon be possible to design games in which the screech of tyres during a high-speed chase will automatically trigger the release of the smell of burning rubber.
Professor Bob Stone, research director of the Human Factors Integration Defence Technology Centre (HFIDTC) at Birmingham University, believes the technique could save soldiers lives.
Lets say a unit is passing through a village somewhere in the Arab world where there is always the smell of cooking meat, explained Professor Stone.
Smelly: Jars holding the aromas
On the day in question that smell is not there. That could mean the village has been evacuated because the enemy are using it as a base from which to attack British troops. Smell is the most underrated and underused of our senses.
If we rely only on sights and sounds, we are in danger of closing our minds to what is going on around us. And for a soldier, that can mean the difference between life and death.
His scent delivery system consists of a compressed air chamber with four fans and eight compartments, each of which holds a pot of wax, chemically impregnated with a particular odour.
Those in Professor Stones armoury so far include cordite, burning electrical wire, weapon fire and harbour and hospital smells, though other unpleasant stinks, such as mildew and cat urine, will be added to the list.
During a demonstration in Professor Stones office, PhD research student Mark Blyth presses the raw sewage smell button as 3-D images flash across the screen of a Toshiba laptop. Visitors look longingly at a gas mask hanging on a coat stand, wondering whether it will fit. A colleague from another department pops his head round the door, sniffs disgustedly and leaves with a muttered excuse.
Computer games are playing an ever-larger role in military training, partly because the devices used to operate battlefield technology systems increasingly resemble games console controls.
Professor Stone believes the smells will prove attractive to the commercial sector.
An American company called Trisenx is already working on something similar and I am sure there will be a successful crossover from military use to the home computer industry.
Within three to five years there could be games on the market with smells designed to confuse or excite the player.
When an alien appears on the screen, for example, he would have his own odour which would be instantly recognisable.
Lieutenant Colonel Richard Eaton, spokesman for UK Land Forces, said: Anything that can add realism to a synthetic environment whether its noise, heat or smells will enhance the training experience.
Re: Would you want to smell your games?
I had this idea years ago when I was 9 :D
Re: Would you want to smell your games?
second from right, you want to smell raw sewage
Re: Would you want to smell your games?
C'Mon Leisure Suit Larry 7 had scratch and sniff. This is hardly new technology... ::rolleyes::
Re: Would you want to smell your games?
Heh, I actually think this is really cool.
Imagine playing a medieval game and going into a dungeon and suddenly having a musty smell of soil fill the room... leave the dungeon and get a scent of ozone (like an air purifier) or grass. Walk past a farm and get the scent of hay (or if you're really hardcore, manure :p). Have a fire ball whiz by your head and get a scent of sulfur.
This could be very very cool if done properly.
Re: Would you want to smell your games?
Re: Would you want to smell your games?
or in next spiderman game you fight the croc in seware.
Re: Would you want to smell your games?
What if this carried over into surfing.... and watching porn...
Bigmans room would smell of farm animals and sour tuna.
Maybe not such a great idea LOL
Re: Would you want to smell your games?
This sounds like an idea that is somewhat cool, although I can't imagine this ever taking off. In that sense, it reminds me of those accent/mood lights that Philips made, where they would change color depending on the game. So for Far Cry 1, they would turn bright blue... a really cool effect, but wasn't exactly a big seller...
Re: Would you want to smell your games?
It is an interesting idea, but would require people to purchase additional hardware and continually fill it with chemicals to keep it operational... at least I'd think it would? I suppose they may figure out how to make it use cartridges or other sorts of easily disposed of things, like a printer, otherwise it may need cleaning et al too.
I guess a bigger concern, though, would be if a smell could induce illness in people. Probably why it's not commonly done in movies. Although you sort of get that type of thing at places like Universal Studios or whatnot where you may enter a 'location' and they'll make it smell gritty, or like a jungle, or a cave, or something, but I have to admit I'm not really that keen to smelling the sewers I'm crawling around in, or the rotting corpses all around me :p
Re: Would you want to smell your games?
Does anyone here have an AmbiX setup?
So far I only know of 2 games that support it. ::(: (Far Cry 2 and HAWX)
Re: Would you want to smell your games?
This would be great... I would just turn it off 99% of the time, but if I was having company I would put in some game that has some nice smelling environments... would cut cost on air fresheners and whatnot.

We are both retired military (USAF), with new careers. My husband was born and raised in Michigan and wanted his own little piece of Michigan.
Cynthia or Terry purchased this house in 2010
We currently reside in Hawaii and when we found our cabin online in the aptly named 'Aloha Township', we figured it was fate or karma and bought it!
We love having the cabin on its own private lake. It's very quiet and peaceful, with plenty of wildlife that likes to hang out with us and our guests.
This was a great place to stay and enjoy the winter activies of northern Michigan. If you love the feel of a real log home and breath taking views arcoss a snow covered lake, this is the place. There is plenty of space with large rooms and bath rooms.
It is easy to get to right off M-33. Town it not too far off and the snowmobile trail is a mile up the road. The Ski resorts and Macinaw is not too far away also. There is also pleanty of room to park your snowmobile trailer and get in and out. One of the nicest places we have stayed in Michigan.
This was our second trip to the cabin, and it was just as great as we remembered. The weather was less cooperative this time, but we still managed to have a lot of fun and keep busy. The cabin is very spacious and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out (we had 7 this year). Lots of puzzles, good books and movies, plus the game room was a big hit. The property was very clean and ready for us to just bring in bags and food. Very quiet lake with a lot of privacy.
Very nice yard and beach area for our small grandchildren. Nice and clean very well kept up. There was also pretty good fishing in a smaller lake. Very peaceful and quiet. Would recommend to friends or relatives. I only gave it 4 stars because of a neighbor dog that does a lot of barking. Other then that it was a very enjoyable week. Our family wants to go back next year.
Quiet and serene cottage in the woods. Perfect location and gorgeous views. Lots of amenities and games/activities to do and bonus for having kid friendly books, crib, games. Like that they allow dogs too, after all they're part of the family.
If you're looking for a family spot in Northern MI, you can't go wrong here. Home is just as described in the listing. Very spacious, it was clean, easy to find. Area feels very safe. We have six in our family, with our kids being 11-16 years old, and they had a great week. We lucked out with good weather so we used the canoe and rowboat daily, and played badminton and volleyball and basketball, horseshoes. But if you had rainy days, the owners have a plethora of games inside as well as DVD movies to suit any age or taste. Fishing was so-so - there was a catch each day but they weren't biting like mad. But the neighbor said the lake had ice up until two weeks ago. There are two firepits, and firewood is available to purchase everywhere in the area for $2.50 - $3.00 a bundle. There are 6 adironack chairs, plus they also have camp chairs if you need more seating.
We appreciated that the owners thought of everything you might need to make a comfortable stay...there were night lights in every room, Q-tips in the bathroom, charcoal and fluid, matches, lighter, flashlights, cleaning and laundry supplies available, paper towels, napkins, paper plates, spices in the cupboard, well-stocked kitchen in terms of utensils for whatever you might want to cook. I'm sure some of it is left from previous renters, but we've stayed in condos where the maid completely cleans everything out and only the very basics are available so it was a refreshing change.
The location is great - Cheboygan is an easy 10-15 min drive to get to a variety of eating joints and WalMart and grocery stores. No chain restaurants here except fast food, but thanks to TripAdvisor and Urbanspoon we had great meals all week too.
We went up to Sault Ste Marie one day (less than 1.5 hr drive) and over to Petoskey (50 minutes) on another. Mackinac Island and Mackinaw City are an easy 35-40 min away. Elk viewing down in Gaylord and Indian River are also great options. We saw an elk about five minutes from the house leaving for dinner one night.
No A/C but we were fine - they have fans in every room. Even had the wifi up and running, which my kids appreciated!! Cell service spotty as mentioned, but we had a signal most of the time (AT&T).
Home has neighbors, but the property is secluded with trees on both sides. Very peaceful both day and night - can hear birds and frogs and loons.
Owners were great with communications before, during and after stay. THX!
We were excited to see the cabin anyway but when we pulled up and saw the home we knew we were in for a treat! Homey, clean, great yard & beautiful lake - you really could not ask for more! Every detail was paid attention to - right down to a filet knife hanging on the wall. Truly in 'move-in' condition, we literally could have only brought food and clothes and been good to go! It was not too far from the downtown area, and we also ventured to Petoskey & the U.P. and felt we were very centrally located. Great correspondence with the owners - they are quick to respond! Very positive experience for us and I would highly recommend this home to anyone! Thanks for making our stay so great! Jocelyn, Scott, Max, Jake, Nicole and our 3 poochies Jackson, Rita & Shaggy-dog
Enjoy our large private sand beach, swimming, and fishing at no-motor Devereaux Lake. The home is convenient to many northern Michigan attractions.

School board told its financial house in good order
The Henderson County Schools received a clean financial bill of health at its monthly school board meeting on Monday.
"You are in very good, sound financial shape," Brian Crafton of Myriad CPA Group said regarding the audit report.
He was speaking at the Professional Development Center, located at 631 N. Green St., also known as the new home of Henderson County Board of Education meetings.
The facility is on the campus of the Thelma B. Johnson Early Learning Center.
The board meeting room is much larger than the former board office, which is located at 1805 Second St. It also has more seats as well as multiple elevated screens to allow visitors to view documents that are being discussed.
Meanwhile, in other board news:
The board voted unanimously to hire Ted Kowalski of the University of Dayton, Ohio, to lead the Strategic Facilities Planning Committee, which seeks to take a long-range look at building uses in the local school district.
Kowalski's fee is $17,000.
He and a small group of others will assess the district's optimal facility utilization and placement, demographics in relation to facilities and school district boundaries, cost comparisons of renovation versus new construction, and time progression for renovation and/or new construction based on facilities assessment and financial capabilities.
School board member Mike Waller explained that the committee will be looking 30 to 50 years ahead, and not just four or five years. This new committee's recommendations will also not disrupt the current five-year facilities plan, which has determined $117-$120 million in needs for facilities improvements.
Kowalski's study should be ready about six months after he begins his analysis, which should be in the next month.
A bid for fencing was awarded to Fence Pros LLC for $20,921.69. Tri-State Fence Company provided the other bid for $30,371.25.
A Henderson County Schools districtwide surplus auction will be held on Oct. 17 starting at 10 a.m. at 5704 Airline Road The items that will be auctioned off include a 1982 Chevrolet pickup, a 1980 Chevrolet stake bed truck, filing cabinets, miscellaneous furniture (desk, chairs), miscellaneous kitchen equipment, and lawn mowers.
A school bus purchase request for 10 new school buses and school bus options totaling $823,550 was tabled for another special-called meeting on Sept. 27 at 5:30 p.m. at the Professional Development Center. That special-called meeting will also address budget issues.

NTSB: Former Oklahoma QB, friend were flight crew
SOUTH BEND, Ind. People who knew former Oklahoma quarterback Steve Davis say his passion for flying began before he arrived at the school and led the Sooners to back-to-back national championships in the 1970s.
He and friend Wes Caves, a Tulsa, Okla., businessman, were the flight crew on the private jet, owned by Caves, that crashed into a northern Indiana neighborhood, National Transportation Safety Board investigator Todd Fox said Monday. Davis, 60, and Caves, 58, died. Three others were injured, including two passengers.
Fox said he had minimal information about the pilots, but said both had pilots' certificates and both had multi-engine aircraft certificates. The voice box recorder was recovered and is being sent to Washington, D.C., for investigation, Fox said, adding that the NTSB doesn't know why the plane was headed to South Bend.
Patsy Davis said she believed it was possible her son would have been in the co-pilot's seat. It wasn't immediately clear who was at the controls when it crashed.
"He hadn't flown for a while, but as far as we know, he was still a licensed pilot. He didn't own a plane," she said Monday.
"He absolutely loved getting in the air," said Deron Spoo, pastor at First Baptist Church in Tulsa, Okla., where Davis went to church.
And former Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne recalled Davis flying a small airplane to Lincoln, Neb., back in the 1970s to speak at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes banquet.
Messages left by The Associated Press for Caves' wife and at least two others who are believed to be his family members in Tulsa were not returned Monday.
The crash occurred after two aborted attempted landings at South Bend Regional Airport, Fox said. The plane leaked enough fuel to force the evacuation of hundreds of people from surrounding homes, but most residents were allowed to return Monday morning.
"It is miraculous that there was not a greater loss of life," South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg said.
Fox said the immediate focus of investigators is removing the fuselage from one of the homes for further investigation. A total of eight homes remain under mandatory evacuation, but South Bend Assistant Fire Chief John Corthier said residents of the five undamaged homes should be allowed to return after the fuselage is removed - likely Tuesday.
"I'm surprised people survived that," said 84-year-old Frank Sojka, who lives in the first home that was struck. Sojka said he was in the front bedroom of the home he's lived in for 55 years when he heard a loud, dull sound.
"I got up and went into the living room and I could see the sky through the ceiling and all kinds of debris in the far end of the living room," he said.
The survivors of the crash were taken to South Bend Memorial Hospital. Spokeswoman Maggie Scroope said Monday that Jim Rodgers was in serious condition and Christopher Evans was in fair condition. Davis' parents said they didn't know the relationship between their son and Rodgers and Evans.

R65 typ 247 1990 engine upgrade issue
Dear Advriders.
I came to purchase a 1990 BMW R65 Typ 247 with the 27hp version engine.
The bikes serial number is 6432418 R65. It uses two 26mm BING carbs with the codes
64/26/317 & 64/26/318, an 31/9 final drive and it runs fine in its low hp , but it is just not enough for me.
I am thinking of upgrading the bikes horsepower and I hear a lot of different things by Greek BMW "guru" mechanics. So I would very much appreciate your professional opinion on the choices I may have considering that I would be satisfied with just a few , lets say 10 more hp than the ones I already have.
1st choice is to upgrade the existing engine to 47 or 50 hp. What changes would I have to make in this case? I hear that I have to change the camshaft, the cylinder heads and the carbs to 32mm. Would that all be enough? What is your recommendation in this case and how much would the parts cost?
2nd choice is to give the engine a small amount of extra hp without making engine parts changing, just some improvements in functioning such as bigger carbs, better air breathing bigger exhaust tubes and .......whatever you would recommend. Do I have any luck this way , how many hp would I might gain with minor improvements and again what would you suggest if I finally choose this option?
Changing the whole engine with an used 50hp R65 or even to a R80 engine is not in my priorities for the moment due to cost and the leak of trust on buying a used engine with uncertain number of km in its life. But I do not completely reject that option for the future.
Looking forward for your answer.
Thank you forehand.
Best Regards
Sell the bike. It will never be what you want it to be. It is not even the 247 type engine. We let the R65 bikes on the Airhead forum and we mention all the time that the Airjheads are the 247 type engine but the R65 is not a 247 type engine.
To increase the HP from 27 to 47 is a doubling of HP, almost.
Save yourself the grief and expense. Buy a motorcycle that suits your wants and needs.
the engine is a type 248/1
For what it would cost you to upgrade the engine you could buy a bigger bike. Swapping a bigger engine into that frame is asking for trouble because it wasn't designed for it strength wise.
Hmm, same frame was used for R65, R80 and R100: http://realoem.com/bmw/partxref.do?part=46511452025
Sadly I'm not sure of the differences between the 27hp version and the 50hp version.
So possible but sounds expensive unless suitable 2nd hand parts can be easily sourced.
The detuned 27hp R65 used 26mm bings while the normal ~50hp model used 32mm bings. I think I remember reading that the slides in the carbs were also limited in some way from fully openning. I've never seen them personally as they weren't sold here. I don't think the top end parts are in any way different.
It is correct that the carb body's and the cam is different too.
The pistons used in the 27hp are not the same as the 50hp models.
I stand corrected, I missed or forgot that the OP's bike is a '90 model. The early R65's up to '85 used a lighter frame than all other airhead bikes so very little was comparable.
R65's aren't airheads? First time I have ever heard that.
It does not sound like you have an actual R65.
The R45 came in 2 flavours. Both are 450cc. A 35HP and a 27HP model. The 27HP model could be brought up to the 35HP version fairly easily. But to go any further requires major surgery, like new pistons and jugs, new carbs, different cam, etc. Cheaper to buy a good used 650 engine.
I rode an r65ls for 12 years and about 80k miles. Waste of time to try increasing power, and they aren't that reliable to start with. Your best bet it to get a used r80 motor.
You won't get bigger jugs on the r65 as the opening in the block needs to be larger. Some more info below, but considering my r12gs gets better mileage and has about 3x the power, and a reliable charging system I wouldn't go back.

Social Institutions
The Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI) measures gender-based discrimination in social norms, practices and laws across 160 countries. The SIGI comprises country profiles, a classification of countries and a database; it serves as a research, policy and advocacy tool for the development community and policy makers.
The SIGI covers five dimensions of discriminatory social institutions, spanning major socio-economic areas that affect women's lives: discriminatory family code, restricted physical integrity, son bias, restricted resources and assets, and restricted civil liberties. The SIGI's variables quantify discriminatory social institutions such as unequal inheritance rights, early marriage, violence against women, and unequal land and property rights.
In the 2014 edition of the SIGI, Democratic Republic of the Congo has very high levels of discrimination against women in social institutions. It has lower discrimination in son bias and higher discrimination in restricted access to resources and assets.

The Africa for Women's Rights Campaign
Key facts
- CEDAW: ratified in 1986
- CEDAW Protocol: not signed, not ratified
- Maputo Protocol: ratified in 2009
On 8 March 2009 the "Africa for Women's Rights" Campaign was launched at the initiative of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), in collaboration with fove non-governmental regional organisations: the African Center for Democracy and Human Rights Studies(ACDHRS), Femmes Africa Solidarité (FAS), Women's Aid Collective (WACOL), Women in Law and Development in Africa (WILDAF) and Women and Law in Southern Africa (WLSA). These organisations make up the Steering Committee responsible for the coordination of the Campaign.
The Campaign aims to put an end to discrimination and violence against women in Africa, calling on states to ratify international and regional instruments protecting women's rights, to repeal all discriminatory laws, to adopt laws protecting the rights of women and to take all necessary measures to wensure their effective implementation.
Country Focus: the Democratic Republic of Congo
Although the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) ratified the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the Protocol to the African Charter Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa (Maputo Protocol), it has still not ratified the Protocol to the CEDAW.
The Coalition of the Campaign is concerned by: the persistence of discriminatory legislation, notably in the Family Code; sexual violence perpetrated with complete impunity in conflict zones, as well as in zones of relative stability; traditional harmful practices such as early and forced marriage; limited access to education, health and employment.

The Women, Business and the Law
Where are laws equal for men and women?
The Women, Business and the Law report presents indicators based on laws and regulations affecting women's prospects as entrepreneurs and employees. Several of these indicators draw on the Gender Law Library, a collection of over 2,000 legal provisions impacting women's economic status. This report does not seek to judge or rank countries, but to provide information to inform discussions about women's economic rights. Women, Business and the Law provides data covering 6 areas: accessing institutions,using property, getting a job, providing incentives to work, building credit, and going to court. Read more about the methodology.
For detailed information on Democratic Republic of Congo, please visit the Women, Business and
the Law Democratic Republic of Congo page.
The FAO Gender and Landrights Database
The FAO Gender and Landrights Database contains country level information on social, economic, political and cultural issues related to the gender inequalities embedded in those rights. Disparity on land access is one of the major causes for social and gender inequalities in rural areas, and it jeopardizes, as a consequence, rural food security as well as the wellbeing of individuals and families.
Six categories
The Database offers information on the 6 following Categories:
- National legal frame
- International treaties and conventions
- Customary law
- Land tenure and related Institutions
- Civil society organizations
- Selected Land Related Statistics
For detailed information on The Democratic Republic of Congo, please visit the report on The Democratic Republic of Congo in the FAO Gender and Landrights Database.
Progress Assessment of MDG 3: Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women
Millennium Development Goal #3 is divided into three sub-categories, each of them focusing on different areas: education, employment wage and political power.
Ratios of girls to boys in primary, secondary and tertiary education
The 2010 Report of United Nations Development Programme and the Government of DRC shows that the ratio of girls to boys in primary level of education was at 0.9, for secondary education at 0.8 and in the tertiary level at 0.5[1].
Given the civil war that have been afflicting this country for more than a decade, the condition of women in Congo is one of the direst in Africa. Modest progress has been noted though. In 2007, the share of women in wage employment in the non-agricultural sector was 34%
Proportion of seats held by women in national parliament
Women held 8.4% of the seats in the National Assembly of DRC in 2010, and 4.6% of the seats in the Senate. UNDP and the Government of DRC deems parity in this sector very unlikely for 2015[2]..
The Millennium Development Goal Track Global Index for the Democratic Congo is at 6%. The MDG track evaluates progress made by countries towards the targets of the MDGs. Furthermore the country is estimated to be öff-track [3]

Fort Donelson
|Fort Donelson
|Tennessee (near Dover, Tennessee)
Part of the lower river battery at Fort Donelson, overlooking the Cumberland River
|Site information
|Controlled by
|Confederate States (1862)
United States (1862–1865)
|Site history
|In use
Fort Donelson was a fortress built by the Confederacy during the American Civil War to control the Cumberland River leading to the heart of Tennessee, and the heart of the Confederacy. The fort was named after Confederate general Daniel S. Donelson.[1]
Bushrod Johnson of the Confederate Corps of Engineers had approved the build site and supervised construction in 1862. Construction was started by a large force of men brought from the nearby Cumberland Iron Works.
Confederate commanders
- Bushrod Johnson (Feb 9, 1862)
- Gideon J. Pillow (Feb 10–13, 1862)
- John B. Floyd (Feb 14–16, 1862)
- Simon B. Buckner, Sr. (Feb 16, 1862)
- Major Rice E. Graves, Jr., Artillery Commander
Fort Donelson was garrisoned by the Confederate troops until 1862. The fort was captured by Union General Ulysses S. Grant and his army during a winter offensive to divide the Confederacy in two by controlling the Mississippi River. (see Battle of Fort Donelson)
The fort was attacked again on August 25, 1863, by a Confederate force demanding its surrender. The attack was unsuccessful and was repulsed.
The Union Attack[edit]
(main article Battle of Fort Donelson)
Fort Donelson was attacked by General U.S Grant and Flag Officer Andrew Foote, who surrounded the fort and captured it after a short siege.
Fort Donelson under Union control[edit]
The Union was ecstatic when the news reached the capital and cities of Fort Donelson's surrender. Union forces now controlled one of the largest forts in the western theater. The war had been going badly for the Union in Virginia, but the captures of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson were promising victories.
After the front line shifted away Fort Donelson, it became of little strategic importance, but continued to hold a garrison of Union troops. Later, the fort was attacked by a Confederate force of 450 infantrymen, 335 cavalrymen, and two field guns. The Union garrison consisted of four companies (404 men) of the 71st Ohio Regiment. After suffering 30 casualties, the Confederates retreated. They were pursued by the Fifth Iowa Cavalry, but to no avail.
Union commanders
- Ulysses S. Grant (Feb 1862)
- Abner Harding (Sept 1862–1863)
- William W. Lowe (Feb 1863)
After the war[edit]
The Fort Donelson National Battlefield was created in 1928, and the park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. It was redesignated as a national battlefield on August 16, 1985. Fort Heiman was later incorporated into the park.

"Just what we were looking for... a simple, elegant card to announce our wedding that could feature our picture. We appreciated the level of online customer service, particularly with respect to proofs."
"We were absolutely pleased with the quality of the cards we ordered. We requested a review of the design to make it more personalized, and the promptness of the reviewer in satisfying our needs was impressive. All of our friends who received the cards have told us they like them, and a few have requested info on where/how to get them. We highly recommend this company and their products."
"I'm an artsy gal, but not too extravagant, so I was looking for something simple yet striking for our wedding announcements, and I found it. I chose red since the date is close to Christmas, but the other color options look lovely, too. I was able to play with the fonts quite a bit, and personalized the monogram with a typewriter-style font that was very me. The weight and texture is delightful, and reminds me of handmade paper. Family and friends have complimented them, as well. Once I placed my order, I received the online proofs very promptly, and the delivery was right on time. Given the volume and the time of my order, the total price was nice and affordable."
"The announcements were wonderful, elegant, and very classy. We got compliments from everyone who received an announcement. They look exactly as shown on the website and were delivered very quickly. I cannot think of any way in which this item can be improved."
"I used paper divas for my announcements, and I loved them. they were shipped on time, and looked beautiful!!! My friends commented that they look great.....elegant and modern ."

Benchmarking Ubuntu Linux On The Google Nexus 10
After spending the better part of the past week running continuous open-source Linux benchmarks on the Exynos5-powered Google Nexus 10, the first extensive benchmark results for the Nexus 10 tablet running the Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview are now available. This performance comparison from Ubuntu on the dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 powered device is compared to numerous other ARMv7 and x86 devices. One of the interesting findings from this new round of ARM Linux testing is that the Google Nexus with its dual-core ARM SoC is competitive with AMD's first-generation Phenom Quad-Core processor for some demanding workloads.

Samsung's A15 Chromebook Loaded With Ubuntu Is Crazy Fast
Google recently launched the Samsung Chromebook that for $249 USD features an 11-inch display, a 16GB SSD, a promise of 6.5-hour battery life, and is backed by a Samsung Exynos 5 SoC. The Samsung Exynos 5 packs a 1.7GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 processor with ARM Mali-T604 graphics. With using this new ARM Cortex-A15 chip plus the Samsung Chromebook not being locked down so it can be loaded up with a Linux distribution like Ubuntu or openSUSE, it was a must-buy for carrying out some interesting Cortex-A15 Linux benchmarks. The Exynos 5 Dual in this affordable laptop packs an impressive performance punch.

Linux Is A Lemon On The Retina MacBook Pro
If you are planning to buy one of the new Apple MacBook Pro notebooks with a Retina Display for use under Linux, hold off on your purchase. Running the Retina MacBook Pro with Linux isn't a trouble-free experience and after using even the latest development code and jumping through various hoops, Linux on the latest Apple hardware is still less than an ideal experience. Linux support will improve for the Retina MacBook Pro in the coming months, but it's not likely to see any proper "out of the box" experience until next year.

They are often a way for teens to rebel. Others just think they're cool.
Either way, the effects of extreme piercings and tattoos are long lasting. Sometimes, the decisions you make while you're youngcan hold you back as an adult, leaving many people looking for ways to erase their past.
Louie Loniewski pierced his ears just after his 18th birthday. It didn't take long for the tiny holes in his earsto stretch out big enough to fit a 3-quarter-inch steel plug.
Louie said his friends all had them, and they were just part of the scene he was in.
At the time, Louie admits he wasn't thinking about what kind of consequences he might face later in life by altering his appearance.
When you're younger you're not thinking about those things, you're only thinking a couple months ahead at the most, he said.
A few months ago, when he went to follow his dreams of joining the Navy, the 22-year old was told that the gages in his ears would likely keep him from getting in.
The Navy, you know, they want everyone to look professional.
That's when he turned to plastic surgeon Dr. David Magilke with the Portland Laser and Surgery Center.
Magilke has some in his office at least once a month looking to erase their past.
Clothing and hairstyle and dying your hair ... those are not permanent, but when you start to do things that really alter your body, cosmetic surgery or piercings, they can be permanent or difficult to repair, said Magilke.
Even in a city like Portland, where eccentric body piercings and tattoos are more common, many young adults are forced to change their appearance through surgery in order to start their careers.
A change like that comes at a price. Sewing your ears back up can cost a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars.
Loniewski said it's money well-spent.
Now that I have this done, I can talk to my recruiter and I'm sure he'll take me a little bit more seriously.

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
The /etc/ directory contains thousands of files, and it is easy to lose an office document in its murky depths. Managing directories files via FTP can be time consuming. We'll investigate utilities that help you keep track of your files. Also in this issue: Trouble at Debian and Future Fears, starring Dunc Tank, Anthony Towns, and Matthew Garret.
Everything is a file is an old Unix adage, and as a logical consequence, many thousands of files populate today's systems, making it difficult to find the files you need. If you are looking for an office document or an image file, the Beagle desktop search engine is an excellent choice, as it understands various document formats and can evaluate Exif information.

Within weeks of a peaceful poll in partially Maoist-controlled south Chhattisgarh, a road opening party (ROP) of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was ambushed in Bijapur district by Maoists on Wednesday morning killing at least four constables.
The incident took place near Nukanpal, a village under Modakpal police station, 16 kilometres north of Bijapur district headquarters when the ROP was approaching a hamlet for a civic action programme, CRPF sources said. The ROP sanitizes a route before a bigger force enters a hostile area.
The constables killed in the ambush are identified as Digambar Bayan from Tinsukia in Assam, Dilip Kumar from Chandauli in Uttar Pradesh, Amitabh Mishra from Bankura district of West Bengal and Madanlal Aake of Chopan in Madhya Pradesh. They all belonged to 168 Battalion of CRPF. Three more persons have been injured and received initial medical care, sources told The Hindu.
Two INSAS, one AK 47 and few UVGL grenade launchers have been looted by the rebels, police sources said.

We had hundreds of people spread the word about the competition encouraging their friends and family to vote. Ive even heard about individuals going table-to-table at restaurants asking patrons to support UNITE. Its truly amazing.UNITE was matched up against the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Los Angeles Harbor, Cincinnati Ballet Company, Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida and SPCA Cincinnati.The voting was really close throughout the day, Kelly noted. Im so thankful that we had so many supporters who were willing to take part of their Sunday and select UNITE as the organization most deserving of the vehicle.UNITE will use the new vehicle to support several initiatives, including taking children without transportation to youth programs offered throughout the year.Transportation is a critical issue for many families throughout rural southern and eastern Kentucky, Kelly noted. We dont want any child to miss out on any activity. The new vehicle will enable UNITE to better meet this need.UNITEs staff will also use the car when meeting one-on-one with individuals who have received assistance through the treatment voucher program, who are seeking help for an addiction, or needing transportation to a treatment program, and the car will also be used to provide assistance to communities affected by natural disasters or in times of crisis.The outpouring of support and interest in the Toyota 100 Cars for Good program has been tremendous, said Michael Rouse, Toyota vice president of philanthropy and community affairs. It is amazing to see how this program has brought individuals, organizations and communities together.We are equally excited to see Operation UNITE utilize their new vehicle to do good in the community.
