Night Gunner

DescriptionNight Gunner is set in World War II, and loosely simulates the Lancaster plane, but despite this, and despite being from Digital Integration, the game is more of a shoot 'em up than a flight simulator.
It's primarily split into shooting and bombing phases, the first of which is viewed from the cockpit, and sees the player shooting at balloons, planes (which are hostile) and big bombers. Damage can affect the engines, which affects the player's performance - when 3 engines are destroyed, the plane crashes. Damage to the gun turret causes slower shooting, and eventually deprives the player of the ability to aim.
The bombing sections include high-level and low-level attacks, each with limited ammunition. High-level runs often involve intercepting shots before they can hit you, while on the low level runs there is a constant risk of hitting the ground, or being hit by enemy fire.

Goodbye Casper! Less than two weeks after news broke of Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart's drama-filled breakup amid reports he was sexting multiple transgender models, it appears as though the "Same Girl" singer is already moving on!
PHOTOS: Busted… BIG TIME! 12 Hollywood Stars Caught On Camera Cheating!
Although Lopez may have driven Smart away with her insane dieting and out-of-control "body obsession," the 44-year-old songstress is rumored to be dating 'DWTS' veteran (and serial dater) Maksim Chmerkovsky, 34. The two first met when they performed together at the American Music Awards last November, and have since kept in touch. They were even spotted hanging out together at the Redbury Hotel in LA this past March.
PHOTOS: Cheating, Gay Lovers, Incest, Drugs & Lip Synching! 50 Of Hollywood's Juiciest Confessions
Despite their initial connection, a source told Page Six "nothing happened" between the two: Lopez was still dating Smart at the time, and Maksim was linked to Sports Illustrated cover girl Kate Upton, 22. Seeing that Maks is definitely not dating his 'DWTS' partner Meryl Davis, the timing with Lopez seems about right. As for Lopez, Maks seems to be just her type.

Liberal on Liberal Violence, MSNBC's Fineman Calls Lehrer 'Useless' and criminally negligent
MSNBC contributor Howard Fineman lamented how the president was on the defensive concerning his first bout with Republican nominee Mitt Romney last night.: Jim Lehrer, who moderated the October 3 debate, has a history of bias that is usually cloaked with his soporific disposition. However, Fineman seemed agitated to the point of calling Lehrer "useless" and equated his moderating of the debate to "criminal negligence.": Fineman's ire seems to be indicative of liberals' reaction towards Obama's poor debate performance
This latest incident on liberal on liberal violence could be cathartic for those on the political left as they discover that the president isn't a very good debater
HOWARD FINEMAN: In terms of debate tactics, Romney was on the offensive most of the time — the president did very well on Medicare, but for the rest of it — and Obamacare — rest of it he did not. He missed many chances to correct the record or to ask questions.: Jim Lehrer was practically useless as the moderator. : It was criminal negligence: not to follow up on the question — Mr. Romney specifically what tax loopholes or deductions do you want to get rid of — he didn't ask it. The president should have asked it.: That's only one example of many and it was clear to everybody in this room tonight what happened in this debate.

Bye Bye Mites
posted 7 years ago
I volunteer for a local cat rescue group and transport cats to a local petsmart to be adopted. I sometimes am not aware of a earmite outbreak at the shelter so when I get them to the store and find out that one of them has ear mites, I will usually just buy a bottle off the shelf and treat them right away so that I don't have to take them back to the shelter. The staff is really good about giving it to them as well. I do find though that when the cat shakes his head, it flys all over the place. Also if it is a real bad case, it doesn't treat them real but at least gives the cat some relief from the itching.
Pros: Easy to use, somewhat effective
Cons: Not good for bad mite infections

Did you?
posted 7 years ago
I thought this product was nearly impossible to apply. My cat is extremely active, so getting him to sit still for this is pretty hard in itself. But trying to get this stuff in his ear was a lot of work. And honestly, after all the struggle I did not see much iimprovement. I went to the vet instead.
Pros: Inexpensive.
Cons: Messy!

Chick-Fil-A Denies Making Fake Facebook Account
Allegations of PR fail "not true," says a spokeswoman.
A spokeswoman for Chick-Fil-A denied that the company had created fake accounts on Facebook to defend itself from criticism, contrary to reports that have circulated online.
"We have seen this and it is not true," spokeswoman Tiffany Greenway told BuzzFeed. "Chick-Fil-A has not created a separate or a false Facebook account. We don't know who created it."
Two Facebook accounts have been identified that appeared to exist solely to defend Chick-Fil-A after the company's president said he opposed the legalization of gay marriage. One has been deleted, and the other was "outed" when its profile picture turned out to be a stock photo of a random teenage girl.

Rural Delivery
If you live in rural New Zealand, Rural Post can deliver your mail and CourierPost items as well as provide a pick up service for outgoing mail and CourierPost items, free of charge.
There are a number of rural delivery services available to existing and new rural customers however, because some addresses are remote, receiving the service isn't automatic and it may not always be possible to provide a mail delivery service to your gate.
Find out more about our Rural Delivery Service:
- Rural delivery service types
- Applying for Rural Delivery Service
- Receiving mail with the Rural Delivery Service
- Sending mail from a rural mailbox
- Rural mailbox requirements
- Changing your rural delivery details
- Cancelling your Rural Delivery Service
Rural delivery service types
As a rural delivery customer you need to apply and be accepted for the rural delivery service that best fits your situation. The service types are:
- gate delivery
- housing developments and aggregated delivery points.
Gate delivery
Gate delivery is only available where the property is located in an area where an existing rural delivery service passes and the mailbox can be easily and safely serviced from a vehicle (please refer to mailbox requirements and position).
Where gate delivery services are not able to be provided, a mail delivery service will be provided to a single or aggregated delivery point (nests of mailboxes), placed at an agreed location within the existing delivery route that is closest to the applicant's property. Depending on individual circumstances, this may be at the entrance to a specific road or to the nearest terminal point on the existing delivery.
Housing developments and aggregated delivery points
Where a housing development is established on, or close to an existing rural delivery route, a mail delivery service will only be provided to aggregated delivery points (nests of boxes) at an agreed location. This is usually within the existing delivery route that is closest to the development.
Depending on individual circumstances, this may be at the entrance to a specific road, the entrance to the development, or to strategically / centrally placed mailbox nests within the development, (provided these are within the existing delivery route and does not impact on the existing network by doing so).
You will need to check that the rural delivery service is available in your area by contacting our Customer Service Centre. If the service is not available, ask about other New Zealand Post delivery services that may be available including Private Box, Counter Delivery or Community mailboxes.
Applying for Rural Delivery Service
To apply for a rural delivery service you need to complete a Rural Delivery Service Agreement. You can do this at your local PostShop.
On being accepted for the service, you will be advised of your correct postal address. Don't forget to redirect your mail to your new postal address. A redirection form can be completed online or at your local PostShop. You will need to present some form of identification.
Receiving mail with the Rural Delivery Service
As well as applying to be registered as a Rural Post customer, you can also redirect your mail from your current address to your new rural address. You can do this by redirecting your mail online.
Rural delivery mail should be addressed as follows:
Mr W L Smith
21 Greens Road
Ruawai 0592
Mail addressed to people not listed in your Rural Delivery Service Agreement should be addressed c/- your name and Rural Delivery address:
Mr & Mrs G O'Brien
C/- Mr W L Smith
21 Greens Road
Ruawai 0592
Sending mail from a rural mailbox
Outgoing mail and CourierPost items can be collected by your Rural Post owner-driver. Raise the flag on your mailbox to show mail is waiting to be picked up.
The correct postage should also be applied to your items - your Rural Post owner-driver can tell you the right postage and sell you stamps and a selected range of other products.
Rural mailbox requirements
Your rural mail will be delivered if your mailbox:
- has a minimum size of 400mm deep x 270mm wide x 270mm high, with a flag fitted to indicate mail is awaiting collection
- provides access by a front-opening, non-locking hinged door and fitted with a mail slot large enough for large magazines to be placed inside without bending or opening the door. The mail slot should be no less than 250mm x 30mm. Mail should drop out of sight to keep it secure
- is located to allow easy, all-weather access and positioned so your Rural Post owner-driver can reach it without leaving their vehicle. The best location may not always be by your gate. It's important you comply with local bylaws, traffic regulations and phone/power cable requirements. Please discuss your options with your Rural Post owner-driver before constructing your mailbox
- has the street/road number of your property (if available) clearly printed on the box in numerals at least 25mm high. Local Authorities are progressively allocating numbers to all properties in their area and your property may already have a number allocated. If not, or if you would prefer to use your name, please feature your initials and surname, or company name.
Height and positioning of mail slot
The recommended height of your mailbox mail slot is between 1m and 1.2m from the ground. This allows easy and safe access without the Rural Post owner-driver having to get out of their vehicle.
You can buy a purpose-built rural mailbox from selected retail and hardware outlets.
Changing your rural delivery details
If you need to change details such as your name, phone number or the names of people living at your address, simply ask for a Change of Customer Details form at your local PostShop.

My son had been wasting earphones like John Travolta had been wasting gangsters in the "From Paris with Love" movie. Fortunately those crappy fake iPhone plugs or similar didn't make much of a dent in the purse. So one day I decided it's time to "end his suffering" by getting him some decent cans. I wanted him to have open headphones, else I feared that he'd loose contact with the world around him. The best I could find for him were the AKG K142 HD semi-open headphones.
Not sure these cans qualify for high-end, but at any case he's sold. He drags them everywhere and is super happy with the sound. Never thought he'd care.
That's how I justify costs for the higher end headphones. Not just the sound, but build and durability. Spend a few hundred on quality pair or buy 10 crappy ones? SRH840 lasted me many years before finally broke, but that was from constant shoving them into my backpacks, I was not kind to them. AD900x still look pristine to me and I don't have headphone stand, I expect them to last me another 10 years, but I'll probably upgrade or get something different by then.

This richly evocative memoir is a beautifully realized portrait of a girl growing to adulthood and awakening to her reality as the product of two vastly different and often contrary cultures. The youngest child of an aristocratic Peruvian father and an American mother from the dusty wilds of Wyoming, Marie Arana spent her early childhood in Peru, learning from a colorful assortment of extended family and servants how "good Latinas ought to behave." But it was only when she immigrated to the U.S. as an adolescent that she came to see herself the way those around her did: as a hybrid Hispanic-American, an individual whose cultural identity was split into two seemingly irreconcilable halves. Settling into her New Jersey home, Arana became a clever schoolgirl, observing her classmates and watching her passionate parents struggle to repair the fissures in their marriage. In penning her affecting memoir, Marie Arana shows us how to cherish our families and cultural histories as we make our own way in the world. (Summer 2001 Selection)

Harmony Sovereign 1260 Jumbo
Here is a 1960's Harmony Sovereign Acoustic Guitar. This is a one owner guitar. I bought it as a kid and have owned it ever since. It has gone through myself and four boys so cosmetically it is not in perfect condition. It is still in decent shape for a guitar of 40 plus years. This guitar is the exact type and style of the one that Jimmy Page donated to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio when I was there years ago. These old guitars sound great that's probably why they called them the "Poor Man's Martin". I hate to see this one go but I have to sell it to buy a new guitar that I want. The guitar still has quite a few years left in it. The neck is still very playable but it's at the point where it will need a neck reset if you plan on playing any style above the 12th fret. It has new Martin Lights 80/20 Bronze strings on it and sounds great. The wood on these guitars just keep getting better with age! The right side of the guitar has two places that have been accidently damaged but should be easy repairs if you wanted to repair it. It doesn't effect the sound or playability so I never did anything to fix it. I have taken quite a few pictures of the guitar, so If you're interested in having an old nice sounding guitar around to play without going broke this guitar is for you. I would like to see it go to a good home! If you want a guitar that's in perfect shape and buying for collectors value, don't bother! I do not have a case but will make sure it's packaged correctly. I have shipped several guitars before with no problems. I do not make any money off of shipping on you so whatever it cost is what you will pay. If there's any extra I will credit it back to your account. I almost forgot the 4th string(D) tunning key is bent a little bit from falling over on it so many times. However it still works fine it is just bent, but you will be able to see that in the pictures if you're interested. Good luck in bidding and be sure to ask me questions if you have any.Thank you!

Maybe chrome's EE isn't as powerfull as firebug
You're right about Chrome, just can't go without firebug.
Firefox is a good browser, mostly because bunch of addons available for it, but it can leech so much memory, it's almost frightening
Switched to Chrome about a year ago (after about 4 years of FF), get used to its developer tools (equivalent to Firebug in FF).
Faster, smarter, got a wide market of extensions (plugins in FF), really like it!
Now just using FF for testing

A gender perspective is essential to understanding both the causes and consequences of international migration. Female migrants are increasingly part of worker flows, moving on their own to become the principal wage earners for their families. Most women move voluntarily, but women and girls are also part of the flows of forced migrants who have fled conflict, persecution, environmental degradation, natural disasters and other situations that affect their habitat, livelihood and security. The trafficking of people for prostitution and forced labour also, is an area of increasing concern to the international community. This Survey sets out recommendations that, if adopted, will improve the situation of migrant, refugee and trafficked women.

Miracle tot survives scissors through face
My husband always tells me that my son is the light of my life and I suppose it's true. I have a wonderful husband and a fantastic daughter but my little boy is my ray of sunshine.
Fengshuang is watching her son through the kitchen window. There is little furniture in the house -- most of what they had was sold to help pay the medical bills.
As he pushes a cycle backwards and forwards to a puddle of water - she smiles but then her face darkens and she starts to cry again as she recalls the day seven weeks ago when her ray of sunshine was almost extinguished.
Now that he is four years old he is so much more aware of everything around him and this was the first year when we were planning to get him involved in helping us with the festivities for the Chinese New Year.
This is the biggest event in the Chinese calendar -- everything shuts down and people celebrate the arrival of the new year. It doesn't matter whether you are in the capital Beijing or a small mountain village such as here at Erbozi village in Qinglong town where we live - here in northern China's Hebei province.
My little boy Yuqi Lui was really excited - he vaguely remembered celebrations from the year before and this year we had promised him fireworks and coloured bunting. It was also a celebration of the fact that he had fully recovered from an illness. He had spent some time in hospital and cost us our life savings but had made a full recovery and now was just like any other mischievous four-year-old. When it was not following me around the house asking 1,000 questions he was out in the garden climbing trees or trying to get over the wall even though it is still much too high.
My husband, Tiancun, had put the wall around the house to keep him safe - and when he was in the garden I never really gave it much thought as I felt nothing could happen to him. How wrong I was.
It was mid morning on February 13th 2010, the eve of the Chinese New Year. It was a bright sunny winter's day and Yuqi was helping me and my husband Tiancun with the preparations.
Because our garden is walled and secured for the little ones we had invited guests to us and we wanted to put up the bunting and scrolls. My husband is 38 like me and we knew we would never have another child partly because of my age and partly because of the restrictions on the numbers of children - so we wanted to really make this special. Children grow up too quickly. In addition we don't have much money -- my husband works occasionally in a local gold mine as a miner where he earns four euros a day - I don't have any job -- and we couldn't afford a bigger family. We are lucky to have this house -- it belongs to an uncle who is disabled. He has no legs and need someone to care for him -- and in exchange we get to live here.
We were married in 1995 -- you're only allowed one child in China and it was quite strict then -- although nowadays they are not so strict and when I got pregnant again by accident and realized we were having a little boy we were allowed to keep him.
My husband had gone out to hang some of the scrolls on the front door and then went to put some on the garden gate to welcome guests. The guest list included my brothers and sisters who we do not see very often and we wanted to make them feel really welcome.
I was in the kitchen -- there was loads that needed to be cooked and I remember hearing the garden gate creek open as my husband came back.
Yuqi heard it too and I heard him shout daddy and run out. He'd been sitting on the floor cutting up decorations with his sister Liu Ye, 13. They were making scrolls that are supposed to bring luck and fortune and ensure that the coming year is a joyful one. They were inscribed with good luck poems and phrases, but they turned out to be anything but. Yuqi too young to help hang things up so he was cutting up the pieces of paper.
It was great seeing how excited he was taking part in his first real New Year's festival specially with him being sick earlier. He couldn't concentrate on anything for more than five seconds - so when he heard the gate open and realised his dad was coming back and he leapt up and ran off shouting daddy daddy.
Tiancun was standing up on the step ladders pasting the last of Yuqi's scrolls to the door inside. I looked out the window expecting to see him come into view and then suddenly I heard him scream. It was a terrible high pitched wail and my heart leapt into my mouth.
I remember I dropped the plate I was holding, sending it smashing to the floor. I was immobilised for a second as the shards smashed across the floor and then I spun round and ran to my baby.
I spotted him lying facedown screaming in pain just outside of our front door. Seeing that there was nothing he could have hit his head on other than the ground I started to calm down -- I thought he had just tripped over the door step and it would be okay.
But then I turned him over - I could not believe what I was seeing. Blood was pouring down my darling boys face. But worse than that -- a huge pair of scissors that he had been using to cut up the scrolls was now jutting from his face. He must have kept hold of them when he ran out to see his daddy and as he fell face first to handle that is that the ground and a sharp ends had plunged up to the hilt into his head.
I did not know what do. I almost dropped him in shock, but I knew I had to be strong for Yuqi and not show him how scared I was.
By this time my husband who had heard the screams had run over too and was holding onto Yuqi who had blood gushing down his face. He wanted to pull the scissors out of his face, but I stopped him. Even now I don't know why - but I now know that if we had pulled the scissors free we would have killed our son. Doctors said it was the fact the scissors had stayed there they kept him alive and prevented further damage and further bleeding.
My daughter Ye, she's just 13, that she had to get help. One of my brothers lived nearby and had an old transporter van. She was crying hysterically and I shouted at her and she ran off.
After what seemed like an eternity my brother arrived in his old van. By this time Yuqi was lying silently. We were talking to him trying to keep him awake and keep him calm. I didn't want him to go to sleep -- I was worried he might never wake up.
The journey was a nightmare -- where we live is very remote, and my brother's transporter is really old. It has no suspension and the roads are little more than dirt tracks -- with every bump in the road Yuqi screamed louder.
My heart was breaking to see him in so much pain, and eventually I couldn't take it any more so I told my brother to pull over and stop. I was convinced we were killing him with the scissors moving about all the time.
It took another hour to get somebody else to drive us. Not many people have cars and then it was another hour to the nearest clinic, a small, basic hospital.
On the way to the hospital, I kept telling Yuqi not to cry, as tears would make his wounds worse. By this time Yuqi was calm, the pain seemed to have eased. But I was still fighting back tears when finally we arrived at the clinic. As we walked in the look on the doctors and nurses spaces confirmed my worst fears.
A thousand scenarios were playing in my head, I was thinking of every possibility, what if he loses too much blood, what if he is blind, what if he doesn't survive, but I had to calm down and think positive otherwise I would have gone mad. I had to place my trust in the doctors.
The head surgeon was summoned and he took one look at Yuqi and shook his head. He said there was nothing they could do and told us to get back in the car and go to another hospital.
In fact in the end we were turned down by three hospitals before we finally arrived 10 hours later at the Capital Institute of Pediatrics at the Xiehe Hospital in Beijing. Throughout that time Yuqi kept pleading for a drink of water, he was so thirsty, but I did not dare give him any liquid in case it aggravated his injury.
When we arrived at the final hospital doctors in the emergency department came rushing to Yuqi immediately. They said they had never seen such a horrific injury before. This made me nervous. I pleaded with them to do what ever it takes to help my son. I could not stand the thought of losing him. I promised that we would pay whatever it cost even though I knew it might take the rest of our lives to pay it all back.
Me and my husband then sat in the waiting room hugging each other and crying whilst doctors examined Yuqi. We had no idea what was going to happen to him.
The scissors had impaled Yuqi's left hand side of the face and penetrated so deep that
they had jammed by the jaw bone. After examining Yuqi the specialist surgeon Dr Zhao Jizhi came to see us and explained surgery was the only option - and it had to be done as soon as possible. He told us that if the scissors had been pulled out when the accident happened our son would have died.
They said it needed a complicated operation and it was not just a matter of pulling out the scissors. If my husband had pulled the scissors out immediately he would have died.
He finally went into the surgery after 10 hours of travelling and two hours of tests to determine the extent of the injury. 12 hours in total. You have to remember it was the eve of Chinese New Year and it was very difficult to find specialist surgeons to carry out the operation.
Eventually the surgical team was ready. We were allowed inside to see our little boy before the operation -- he looked so small and helpless. The thought flashed into my mind that we might never see him alive again. I held back the tears until I got outside and then I just wept and wept. But I didn't want him to see me crying even though they said he was already under anaesthetic.
I kissed him on the hand because I couldn't risk knocking the scissors.
Once the doors were closed a team of specialists including Ear Nose and Throat Surgeons, Neurosurgeons and anesthetists worked together to remove the scissors and repair Yuqi's badly damaged face in a four-hour operation.
The damage had been far worse than the initial tests have revealed but the expert team had taken their time and believed that a last-ditch was put in place that Yuqi would make a full recovery.
They said the scissor blade had pierced Yuqi's upper jaw and by an incredible piece of good luck had stopped a millimetre from killing him.
I held my husband as Dr Zhao Jizhi explained they had had to cut more of Yuqi's face and mouth so they could see exactly where the blades were placed. He said one millimetre of wrong movement on their part would have had fatal consequences.
When the surgery was over Yuqi was transferred to intensive care where he spent the next two days.
When I first saw Yuqi after the operation he was covered in bandages I could hardly recognize him. He looked so sick. But doctors reassured me he was going to be ok. I spent all day and night sitting by his bedside talking to him, stroking his hand and praying for his quick recovery. I do not remember the first days so well. They were a daze, I could not eat or sleep. I just sat there with my husband and Yuqi.
After two days Yuqi started to make a turn for the better. Doctors were surprised how quickly he started to recover and how bright he was.
I saw the wound for the first time a few days after the operation when the nurse came to change the bandage. His face was so swollen and he had so many stitches. It was horrible to look at my boy like this, but I was just happy he was making a recovery. Doctors reassured me that he would make a full recovery.
After 10 days Yuqi was well enough to leave the hospital. He was not fully recovered but could go home to recover.
On the day we left the hospital his face was still very swollen, but it was a lot better than it had been, there were no signs of infection and the wound was healing well.
Yuqi remained positive and was still the bundle of energy he had always been. He never complained although he was still in a lot of pain. He could not eat any solids for twenty days.
From day to day Yuqi got stronger and the wound healed. Yuqi had to go often to the local clinic for check ups and to get his bandages changed. But he was delighted to be home. He was still in pain, but he did not complain. He is very brave. He just liked to cuddle up with me and be looked after.
Now nearly seven weeks after the accident Yuqi is getting back to his normal mischievous self. I would say he has become a lot calmer. He still likes being adventurous but is a lot more careful. He now listens to us when we tell him to stop or to get down. I think he is scared such an accident could happen again.
I am now terrified to leave Yuqi alone. I always want to keep an eye on him. Maybe if I had been watching him closer this terrible accident would never have happened. I blame myself and I now never want to let him out of my site.
We thank our lucky stars that Yuqi is on the mend and will make a full recovery. It could have been so much worse."
Now we only have the financial implications to deal with. The treatment was very expensive, we are both unemployed and are a very poor family. We live on some benefits from the state, sometimes my husband can get work at the local gold mine, but this is very irregular. There is no regular work.
We now have a medical bill of 16,000 Yuan. We had some help from neighbouring villagers and family, but it will take a long time to pay back the debt. But yesterday I watched him climb his favorite tree. My little sunshine was back in my life and it was worth every penny.

"But why can't I get a gold one?" – someone who couldn't wait, like, a couple days
"But why can't I get a gold one?" – someone who couldn't wait, like, a couple days
About 2,000 Chinese employees of an iPhone assembly company fought a pitched battle into the early hours of Monday, forcing the huge electronics plant where they work to be shut down.
Authorities in the northern city of Taiyuan sent 5,000 police to restore order after what the plant's Taiwanese owners Foxconn Technology Group said was a personal dispute in a dormitory that erupted into a mass brawl.
However, some employees and people posting messages online accused factory guards of provoking the trouble by beating up workers at the factory, which employs about 79,000 people and is owned by the world's largest contract maker of electronic goods.
The unrest is the latest in a string of incidents at plants run by Foxconn, the trading name of Hon Hai Precision Industry Co whose shares fell 1 percent on Monday in a broader market that rose 0.2 percent.
Foxconn, which assembles Apple's iPhones as well as making components for other global electronics firms, has faced accusations of poor conditions and mistreatment of workers at its operations in China, where it employs about 1 million people, including children*.
Workers putting together Apple's latest iPhone in one of Foxconn's plants in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China still face "deplorably harsh working conditions" according to a new report published today.
The 10-page report entitled "New iPhone, old abuses," by the Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior (SACOM), claims that workers at Foxconn's Zhengzhou facility are still being forced to work overtime and experiencing numerous working violations.
The report, like others the group has put out in the past, is based on offsite interviews with workers at Foxconn factories. This time it's 60 workers from Zhengzhou during the first week of September 2012.
Listed among the chief findings is excessive overtime that adds "between 80-100 hours" a month of overtime (some of which is not paid, the report says); subcontracted workers that may not have insurance; difficulty striking or organizing a union; frequent contact with strong chemicals; and relocation to other Foxconn facilities without knowledge of when they can return to their original location."
CNET, "Watchdog Group Once Again Blasts Foxconn, Apple Over Labor."
Cue fellow bloggers wondering why I'm posting this on a day when every single media outlet is offering wall-to-wall coverage of people standing in line for a $200-and-up toy instead.
Foxconn is on an iPhone 6-related hiring spree, but the giant Apple supplier isn't only looking for human workforce. IT Home reports that Foxconn may rely on some 10,000 robots to make Apple's 2014 iPhone models, in addition to humans, with each machine capable of building up to 30,000 units per year, for a theoretical total of 300 million iPhones per year.
Anything attached to Apple gets more than its share of attention, but in this case, the Apple factor is far less interesting than what this instance of labor unrest suggests about the months ahead for China…
Evan Osnos on the Foxconn riots in China: http://nyr.kr/PDMigP
We ran along the railway,
arriving in some place called 'the City'
where we trade in our youth, and our muscle.
Finally we have nothing to trade, only a cough
and a skeleton nobody cares about.
Midnight. Everyone is sleeping soundly,
We keep our pair of young wounds open.
These black eyes, can you really lead us to the light?
'Night Shift'
I swallowed a moon made of iron
They refer to it as a nail
I swallowed this industrial sewage, these unemployment documents
Youth stooped at machines die before their time
I swallowed the hustle and the destitution
Swallowed pedestrian bridges, life covered in rust
I can't swallow any more
All that I've swallowed is now gushing out of my throat
Unfurling on the land of my ancestors
Into a disgraceful poem.
I want to touch the sky, feel that blueness so light
But I can't do any of this, so I'm leaving this world
Everyone who's heard of me
Shouldn't be surprised at my leaving
Even less should you sigh or grieve
I was fine when I came, and fine when I left.
Xu Lizhi
On the last day of September, a 24-year-old migrant worker in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen killed himself. Xu Lizhi jumped out of a window of a residential dormitory run by his employer, Foxconn, the huge electronics manufacturing company with a million-strong workforce that makes the majority of the world's Apple iPhones.
According to accounts from his friends, Xu tried multiple times to leave his job at Foxconn. Applications for positions in libraries and book stores in Shenzhen proved unsuccessful. He also was turned down for a job at an internal library within Foxconn's compound. Xu moved away for a spell to be with his girlfriend in the city of Suzhou, but that relationship fell through, and he eventually made his way back to Shenzhen and Foxconn.
Xu is not the only Foxconn employee to commit suicide: in 2010, a spate of suicides put the international spotlight on the Taiwanese-run company, which is China's biggest private employer. Foxconn has since taken effortsto improve working conditions and dormitories. There have been 18 attempted suicides of Foxconn employees in the past five years.
The haunting poetry of a Chinese factory worker who committed suicide
Taiwan's Foxconn has admitted employing children as young as 14 on assembly lines at a plant in China, a fresh blow to the tech giant that has been attacked over its treatment of staff after several suicides.
The company, which makes products for Apple and Sony, admitted it hired the underage workers as part of an internship programme, reflecting a practice rights groups said is widespread among enterprises in China.
"This is not only a violation of China's labour law, it is also a violation of Foxconn policy," the company said in a statement late Tuesday, referring to Chinese rules that set the legal minimum age for workers at 16.
"Immediate steps have been taken to return the interns in question to their educational institutions," it added.
Foxconn, the world's biggest contract manufacturer, said it had carried out a probe at the plant in eastern Shandong province, which showed the interns in question, aged from 14 to 16, had worked in there for about three weeks.
A spokesman told AFP the interns had been mainly working on assembly lines at the plant.
Taiwan's Foxconn Technology Group, which assembles Apple's iPhones and makes components for top global electronics companies, closed a plant in China on Monday after about 2,000 workers were involved in a brawl at a company dormitory.
It was not clear how long the shutdown would last at the plant, which employs about 79,000 people in the northern Chinese city of Taiyuan, while police and company officials investigate the cause of the disturbance.
Foxconn said the trouble started with a personal row that blew up into a brawl. But some people posting messages on a Twitter-like site said factory guards had beaten workers and that sparked the melee.
"The plant is closed today for investigation," Foxconn spokesman Louis Woo told Reuters. An employee contacted by telephone said the closure could last two or three days."
From ITWORLD:
June 26, 2013, 10:20 AM — Manufacturing giant Foxconn Technology Group is on track with its goal to a create a "million robot army", and already has 20,000 robotic machines in its factories, said the company's CEO Terry Gou on Wednesday.
Workers' wages in China are rising, and so the company's research in robots and automation has to catch up, Gou said, while speaking at the company's annual shareholder's meeting in Taipei. "We have over 1 million workers. In the future we will add 1 million robotic workers," he said. "Our [human] workers will then become technicians and engineers."
For decades, every trend in manufacturing favored the developing world and worked against the United States. But new tools that greatly speed up development from idea to finished product encourage start-up companies to locate here, not in Asia. Could global trade winds finally be blowing toward America again?

There are many reasons the zombie, sprung from the colonial slave economy, is returning now to haunt us. Of course, the zombie is scary in a primordial way, but in a modern way, too. He's the living dead, but he's also the inanimate animated, the robot of industrial dystopias. He's great for fascism: one recent zombie movie (and there have been many) was called "The Fourth Reich." The zombie is devoid of consciousness and therefore unable to critique the system that has entrapped him. He's labor without grievance. He works free and never goes on strike. You don't have to feed him much. He's a Foxconn worker in China; a maquiladora seamstress in Guatemala; a citizen of North Korea; he's the man, surely in the throes of psychosis and under the thrall of extreme poverty, who, years ago, during an interview, told me he believed he had once been a zombie himself.
Javier Bardem
Western Sahara
Eva Dou on the news that Apple is shifting more of its manufacturing business to Foxconn rival Pegatron:
Executive changes at Apple have also made a difference. Mr. Jobs had been easier at forgiving his favorite manufacturing partner, according to several people familiar with the relationship. Now, instead of relying on the uniquely close partnership between "two leaders with a hero complex"—as one of the people said—Mr. Cook is putting a greater premium on risk diversification, they said.
How many times have you heard that Steve Jobs was more "forgiving" than Tim Cook? Not a lot.
Pegatron Corp., named after the flying horse Pegasus, will be the primary assembler of a low-cost iPhone expected to be offered later this year.
Why am I way more excited about the Pegasus name-drop than the low-cost iPhone name-drop?
SNL puts the latest iTroubles into perspective. Best skit in a while. #firstworldproblems
Apple is without question Foxconn's largest and most important client. The China-based electronics manufacturing giant has seen its revenue skyrocket since it began building iPhones and iPads for Apple, and 2014 will seemingly be the biggest year yet for the iPhone, with two new models set to debut and as many as 80 million units on order.

He's working out at a facility called 'Ignition'; and while Robinson knows many perceive his chances as long, that hasn't dampened his spirit in the least. Below is the link to the interview Robinson completed with 960TheRef radio hosts David Johnston and Kris Harris this morning; in it he discusses his hopes for the draft, his career at Georgia, and playing with a chip on his shoulder.

According to a new study released today by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the current national conversation would be more productively focused on creating a favorable environment for entrepreneurship—and particularly high-growth entrepreneurship—because top-performing companies are the most fertile source of new jobs.

As the American economy continues to send out mixed signals about recovery, job creation has emerged as the country's most pressing economic issue. Not only important for employment itself, job growth also drives recovery in other sectors, including housing. But, while hope for spurring the U.S. economy toward recovery focuses squarely on job creation, policy discussions center primarily on measures that would expand job growth in existing companies.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy admits coach Martin Jol is under pressure.
Levy, speaking to the Friday Football Show on Setanta Sports, said: "Obviously with any speculation sometimes there's an element of truth, but there has been a lot of stuff that's been written in the papers which has just been completely untrue."
Expectations of competing for a Champions League place came after spending more than £30million over the summer on Darren Bent, Younes Kaboul, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Gareth Bale.
Jol is pleased with the progress of his young signings but Spurs have only one league win for their efforts.
"I think it's inevitable with the quality of players we have in this squad that when we're not performing on the pitch there's bound to be speculation," added Levy.
"I've made it very clear that I very much want Martin to succeed, Martin is fully aware of our ambition, he also has got ambition - he just needs to get the results.
"I think we're all fairly thick-skinned if I'm honest, I just think Martin and the players need to ignore the outside pressure and just win, and that's what it's all about."

I have a Pomeranian named Boy and I feed him one of these treats every day. He always gets excited each time I reach for the bag, running around in circles and barking. I've used these treats to teach him to Roll Over, Speak, Sit, and give a hand shake!
Recently this wonderful product has been replaced with some other product called "Nature's Deli Chicken Jerky". Does anyone know anything about this product? Please let me know thanks
Pros: Pets love 'em
Cons: Can only purchase at selected Costco Centers

The breakfast was very meager.
Clean, comfortable and quiet. Even though we were right off the highway, the noise level was very low.
Wifi was very spotty.
It needs some type of breakfast for the money as it is a bit pricey for the amenities
Location and staff
Beds were clean but very uncomfortable (cheap) Parking lot light shown right into room all night
very convenient close to most places of interest and rooms were comfortable
don't like the entrance and have to be more careful with the linen in room, had a visible stain . When traveler arrives to hotel no real exit you have to come out thru same entrance and it's very narrow.
Closeness to Airport
Comfortable bed.
The rooms were comfortable and the place was clean.
We went during a snow storm and it caused a bit of hassle for us during the stay. We had free breakfast vouchers but breakfast was cancelled due to the snow (I'm assuming chefs/waiters couldn't get through snow to work). They didn't offer any recompense except small packages of dry cereal. Also, it was a bit difficult to find in the snow (Not their fault but it's good to point out).
Very clean older motel. Very well maintained.
Quiet and comfortable
Could use a little upgrading. Some things looked worn.
Clean, big bathroom, lots of hot water, strong WiFi, call mfortable bed.
Kind of noisy right next to the road.
Location was great, beds were very comfortable, owner was friendly. There is a microwave and refrigerator in the room.
No shampoo in bathroom. Not a big deal; just inconvenient when I realized it was not there.
Very clean and well decorated. Good thought to decorative detail, and all fixtures were very nice. Breakfast was very adequate. Liked that it was pet friendly, and they put us in a pet-friendly room that was on the ground floor with ouside access.
Room was a little small, but perhaps not for this price point.
Clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff, hot breakfast, on the main road. Pool, whirlpool, working internet, computer & printer in lobby great for printing maps.
Towels are almost as thin as Motel 6, and only two are provided. No freezer section in refrigerator.
The television was inoperable.
High speed internet worked but I had to hunt down the password. Close to lots of stores and the Hiway.
Manager didn't speak English hardly. Not much chit chat, here's your key and that's it.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Viruses, bacteria, or (in rare
cases) parasites or other organisms can cause
In people with
impaired immune systems, pneumonia may be caused by
other organisms, including some forms of fungi, such as Pneumocystis jiroveci (formally called Pneumocystis carinii). This fungus frequently causes
pneumonia in people who have AIDS. Some doctors may
suggest an
HIV test if they think that Pneumocystis jiroveci is causing the pneumonia.
You may get pneumonia:
A healthy person's nose and throat often contain bacteria
or viruses that cause pneumonia. Pneumonia can develop when these organisms
spread to your lungs while your lungs are more likely to be infected. Examples of times when this can happen are during or soon after a cold or if you have a long-term (chronic) illness, such
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
You can get pneumonia in your daily life, such as at school or work
(community-associated pneumonia) or when you are in a hospital or nursing home
(healthcare-associated pneumonia). Treatment may differ
in healthcare-associated pneumonia, because bacteria causing the infection in
hospitals may be different from those causing it in the community. This topic
focuses on community-associated pneumonia.

It was as simple as taking off back panel and disconnecting 3 tubes and and two plugs to remove old valve and attaching the new valve piece to the 3 tubes and two plugs! It actually took more time getting the panel off than making the repair AND it saved us a little over $300 as the repairman quoted a price in excess of $350 to repair it. He was actually the one to tell us to buy the part ourselves and repair it. We are thankful being able to get the part and for an honest repairman.

text: Many believe that jockeys are grossly undervalued and taken for granted in the world of horse racing. Bookmakers never lose, and owners always have another race to which they can look forward. Punters alternate between crests of joy and learning some rueful lessons for future use. Jockeys, who risk life and limb as a matter of routine, are rarely given their due credit. It is common to exult over a famous win, but to forget the incredibly courageous rider who nurses an aggressive colt, gelding or filly past the last post.

DHS requests increase in cyber spending
Thursday - 3/3/2011, 3:00pm EST
The President's 2012 budget proposal calls for major cuts across government. But, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says she actually needs an increase in funding for cybersecurity, Gov Info Security reports.
Napolitano testified to Congress that in order to safeguard cyberspace, the agency will need to identify and reduce vulnerabilities in our nation's key cyber networks.
And to achieve that goal. Napolitano wants to dedicate more than $24 million to provide high-quality and cost effective virtual cybersecurity training and education.

Baltimore Md.
Stephanie Rawlings Blake, Mayor of Baltimore City, got boos today, (7.13.14) as she introduced R&B artiste Anthony Hamilton. She was applauding the turn out for the final day of Artiscape, the city's annual free festival celebrating artistes throughout the country. The three day annual festival attracts over a quarter of million visitors, food vendors and scores of artistes.
The mayor looked shaken by the reception, and it is believed all this has to do with the new curfew law restricting the activities of minors beyond certain hours. It requires that children under 14 be off the streets by 9 pm. The bill, which will soon be signed, says in part, "no minor under age 16 may remain in or about any public place or any establishment between the hours of 9 am and 2.30 pm on any day during which the minor is required to be in school".
This new law will require more work for the city's child protective services, more counselling, and parents will pay by either losing custody of their children or paying fines. Baltimore is not the only city with these new laws, nearby Philadelphia, has done the same, and add to the list Las Vegas and Oakland California.
Even though the mayor is taking the heat, the bill is young councilman Brandon Scott's idea, and he served in one of the toughest neighborhoods in the city, Park Heights. In his bio, he is a recreation neighborhood specialist, and in 2005 received a Club Leader Award as a Black Student Leader President.
Following the Mayor's departure from the Artscape stage, the crowd returned to its festivities.
