Do minority languages need machine translation?
I'm glad to see others in the field have similar apprehensions about MT in small languages
Originally posted on Young, Single, Multilingual:
This is an abbreviated transcript of a talk I gave at a British-Irish Council conference on language technology in indigenous, minority and lesser-used languages in Dublin earlier this month (November 2015) under the title 'Do minority languages need the same language technology as majority languages?' I wanted to bust the myth that machine translation is necessary for the revival of minority languages. What I had to say didn't go down well with some in the audience, especially people who work in machine translation (unsurprisingly). So beware, there is controversy ahead!

How to stonewall Open Source
I seem to be posting a lot about Google these days but then they ARE turning into the digital equivalent of Nestlé.
I've been pondering this post for a while and how to approach it without making it sound like I believe in area 52. So I'll just say what happened and let you come to your own conclusions mostly.
Back when Google still ran the Google in Your Language project, I tried hard to get into Gmail and what was rumoured to be a browser but failed, though they were keen to push the now canned Picasa. <eyeroll> Then of course they canned the whole Google in Your Language thing. When I eventually found out that Google Chrome is technically nothing else than a rebranded version of an Open Source browser called Chromium, I thought 'great, should be able to get a leg into the door that way'. Think again. So I looked around and was already confused because there did not appear to be a clear distinction between Chromium and Chrome. The two main candidates were Launchpad and Google Code. So January 2011 I decide to file an issue on Google Code, thinking that even if it's the wrong place, they should be able to point me in the right direction. The answer came pretty quick. Even though the project is called Chromium, they (quote) don't accept third party translations for chrome. And nobody seems to know where the translations come from or how you become an official translator. A vague reference that I maybe should try Ubuntu.
I gave it some time. Lots of time in fact. I picked up the thread again early in 2013. Now the semi-serious suggestion was to fork Chromium and do my translation on the fork. Very funny. Needless to say, I was getting rather disgusted at the whole affair and decided to give up on Chrome/Chromium.
When I noticed that an Irish translator on Launchpad had asked a similar question about Chromium and saw the answer was they, as far as they know, push the translations upstream to Chromium from Launchpad, I decided I might as well have a go. As someone had suggested, at least I'll get Chromium on Linux.
Fast forward to October 2014 and I'm almost done with the translation on Launchpad so I figure I better file a bug early because it will likely take forever. Bug filed, enthusiastic response from some admin on Launchpad. Great, I think to myself, should be plain sailing from here on. Spoke too soon. End of January 2015, the translation long completed, I query to silence and only get more silence. More worryingly, someone points me at a post on Ubuntu about Chromium on Launchpad being, well, dead.
Having asked the question in a Chromium IRC chat room, I decided to have another go on Google Code, new bug, new luck maybe? Someone in the room did sound supportive. That was January 28, 2015. To date, nothing has happened apart from someone 'assigning the bug to l10n PM for triage'.
I'm coming to the conclusion that Chromium has only the thinnest veneer of being open. Perhaps in the sense that I can get a hold of the source code and play around with it. But there is a distinct lack of openness and approachability about the whole thing. Perhaps that was the intention all along, to use the Open Source community to improve the source code but to give back as little as possible and to build as many layers of secrecy and to put as many obstacles in people's path as possible. At least when it comes to localization.
At least Ubuntu is no longer pushing Chromium as the default browser. But that still leaves me with a whole pile of translation work which is not being used. Maybe I should check out some other Chromium-based browsers like Comodo Dragon or Yandex. Perhaps I'm being paranoid but I'm not keen on software coming from Russia being on my systems or recommending it to other people. Either way, I'm left with the same problem that we have with Firefox in a sense – it would mean having to wean people off pre-installed versions of Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.
Anyone got any good ideas? Cause I'm fresh out of…
The spectre of Google Translate for Gaelic
Not the kind of pre-Christmas cheer I was hoping for, seriously. Slap bang on the 23rd, someone draws my attention to an article called Google urged to go Gaelic. In a nutshell, a left-field (most likely well-intentioned) appeal by an MSP from Central Scotland to add Scottish Gaelic to the list of languages. As the mere thought was nauseating, I made some time and wrote a very long letter to Murdo Fraser, the man in question, with copies going to David Boag at Bòrd na Gàidhlig and Alasdair Allan, minister for languages. As it sums up my arguments quite succinctly (I hoped), I'll just copy it here:
Just before Christmas, a friend drew my attention to an article in the Courier regarding Google Translate in which Mr Murdo Fraser argues for a campaign to get Scottish Gaelic onto Google Translate.
I'm sure that this is a well-intentioned idea but in my professional opinion, it would have terrible consequences. As one of the few people who work entirely in the field of Gaelic IT, I have a keen interest in technology and the potential benefit – and damage – this offers to languages like Gaelic. As it happens, I also was the Gaelic localizer (i.e. translator) for Google when it was still running the Google In Your Language programme and I have watched (often with dismay) what Google has done in this area since. One of the projects that certainly caught my eye was Google Translate, especially when Irish was added as a language in 2009. But having spoken to Irish people working in this field and having watched the effects of it on the Irish language, I rapidly came to the conclusion that while it looks 'cool', being on a machine translation system for a small(er) language was not necessarily a benefit and in some cases, a tragedy.
Without going into too much technical detail, machine translation of the kind that Google does works best with the following ingredients:
– a massive (billions of words) aligned bilingual corpus
– translation between structurally similar languages or
– translation from a grammatically complex language into a less grammatically complex language but not the other way round
– translation of short, non-colloquial phrases and sentences but not complex, colloquial or literary structures
In essence, machine translation trains an algorithms in 'patterns', which is why massive amounts of data are needed and why it works better from a complex language into a less complex language. For example, it is relatively easy to teach the system that German der/die/das require 'the' in English, but it requires a massive amount of data for the system to become clever enough to understand when 'the' becomes 'der' but not 'die'.
Unfortunately for Irish, none of these conditions were met – and would also not be met for Scottish Gaelic. To begin with, even if we digitized all the works ever produced which exist in English and Gaelic, the corpus would still be tiny by comparison to the German/English corpus for example.
Then there is the issue of linguistic distance, Irish/Gaelic and English are structurally very different, with Gaelic/Irish having a lot more in the way of complex grammatical structures than English. To compensate for this, the corpus would have to be truly massive. Which is why the existing Irish/English system is extremely poor by anyone's standards.
One might argue that the aim is not a perfect translation system but a means of accessing information only available in other languages – which is the case for many of the languages which are on Google Translate. But I'm doubtful if the reverse is true. To begin with, no fluent Gaelic speaker requires a Gaelic > English translation system and there is preciously little which is published in Gaelic in digital form which does not also exist in English. All this would do is remove yet another reason for learning Gaelic.
That would leave English > Gaelic and herein lies the tragedy of the English/Irish pairing on Google Translate. Whatever the intentions of the developers, people will mis-use such a system. I have put together a few annotated photos which illustrate the scale of the disaster in Ireland here. From school reports to official government websites, there are few places where students, individuals or officials trying to cut corners have not used Irish translations of Google Translate in ways they were not intended to be used.
If there HAD been a Gaelic/English pair, Police Scotland would have been an even bigger target of ridicule because such an automated translation would have produced gibberish at worst and absurd semi-Gaelic at best.
I think we can all agree that the last thing Gaelic needs is masses of poor quality translations floating around the internet. Funding is extremely short these days and this would, in my view, be a poor use of these scarce funds. There are more pressing battles to be fought in the field of Gaelic and IT, such as the refusal by the 3rd party suppliers of IT services to Gaelic schools and units to provide (existing) Gaelic software or even a keyboard setting in any school that allows students to easily input accented characters, be that for Gaelic, Spanish or French.
is mise le meas mòr,
Turns out I wasn't the only one horrified by the mere thought – John Storey also wrote a very long and polite letter.
Early in January and within days of each other, both John and I received almost identical responses which, in a nutshell, said 'Thanks but I'll keep trying anyway'. Even less encouragingly, it make some really irrelevant reference to the lack of teachers in Gaelic Medium Education. Which is true of course but well, not relevant?
Thank you for contacting me in relation to Scots Gaelic and Google Translate and for your detailed correspondence.
I appreciate the depth of your letter and note your concerns in relation to issues of accuracy and the potential impact to speakers of Gaelic of Google translate. I will be sure to consider these when next speaking on the subject.
I also agree that there are other battles to be fought in the field of Gaelic and IT and appreciate the current issues surrounding the number of teachers in Gaelic Medium Education. However, I do believe it is worth promoting the case for a more accessible Gaelic presence online and without this I believe that Gaelic could miss out on the massive opportunities afforded by the digital age.
I'm still waiting for a response from Bòrd na Gàidhlig or Alastair Allan. But I'm not encouraged. Really frustrated actually because (at least as the Press & Journal and the Perthshire Conservatives would have it), it seems like Bòrd na Gàidhlig and Alastair Allan are throwing their weight behind this ill-fated caper.
I really hope Google turns them down because I really don't want to end up where the Irish IT specialists ended up – the merry world of "Told you so"…
But sadly "Got Gaelic onto Google" probably just sounds sexier on your CV than "Banged some desks and made sure all kids in Gaelic Medium Education can now easily type àèìòù"…
How to make headlines for the wrong reasons
Good afternoon, boys and girls, very bad language, for example, what we see in the side and at the airport these days? No, I haven't gone insane, I'm just illustrating a point by resorting to reductio ad absurdum. In other words, I punched the sentence Hey folks, anyone up for some really truly bad language like the stuff we're seeing at BÁC airport these days? into Bad Translator and let it go through 10 machine translations.
Why? Glad you asked… these days, Google is making headlines both in the Irish traditional press and in social media. But for all the wrong reasons. The reason? Google Translate. Or rather, a language pair someone should have thought about a little more. Or at least done some user testing on it. Something…
So what I imagine happened is this… some bright spark, either on the Google side or some well-meaning Irish government official thought it would be great if we could have Irish on Google translate. First mistake. Give humans a tool, and they will mis-use it. Like our ex-joiner hammering in screws. So before you give people a tool, think about likely scenarios of mis-use. It clearly does not require a team of MENSA members to imagine that in a minoritised language like Irish, people might start using it for things like their homework or cheap translations rather than a quick way of getting the gist behind web content.
But having blissfully ignored this step, someone must have forged ahead and contributed a bilingual corpus to Google developers with a note along the lines of here's a corpus for Irish, please add it to Google Translate. Most likely, second mistake. Right, so there are many ways of building machine translation systems but most rely on a mix of rules and a bilingual corpus. The idea being that as long as you feed a computer enough aligned data in two languages, it can use statistics to figure out how to translate between the two. This idea in itself is sound. Sort of. It depends on the languages in question, the amount of data involved and the direction of the translation oddly enough. Here's an ideal scenario: build a system using a VAST amount of data (we're talking billions of words) to translate between closely related languages and into the language which has the less fancy grammatical system. Like German to English. That works quite well as a pair on Google Translate because a) there are indeed vast amounts of texts which exist in both languages. German has the fancier grammar (3 genders, case marking, inflection of verbs…) whereas English does buggerall (some past tense markers on verbs and a plural -s aside, which is peanuts in linguistic terms).
But once you move away from the ideal model, things start creaking. The more complex the structures of the target language, the more data you'd need for the computer to make any sense of it. So going English to Icelandic creaks much more because even though they're related languages (ultimately), Icelandic is even more complex than German. Oh and there's less bilingual data of course.
You get the idea. Now Irish is eye-candy to a linguist. It has grammatical structures to die for, a case system, two genders, two types of mutation (that's when the first sound in a word changes… you might know people called Hamish? Well that's what Irish does to a man called Séamus when you address him), a headache-inducing system for inflecting verbs, a different word order (English is subject-object-verb, Irish is verb-subject-object) and so on. A thousand things English doesn't do. So what would we need to make this work? Yup, take a gold star, a corpus billions of words big.
Unfortunately there's no bilingual corpus that even comes close to that. Or at the very least, Google did not feed in anywhere near enough data. I've lost track but I think it's mistake 3?
Cue mistake 4… let it loose on people without a big warning strapped to it or any form of user testing. The result? Eye-wateringly bad translations which start cropping up in the weirdest places. Facebook … ok, we could probably live with that… homework… a lot worse, don't teachers have enough to contend with? And of course the jewel in the crown – official signage. Yep, that's right. Google Translate has been making its way onto signage from Dublin Airport to government websites. And the result is almost always nauseating. Breaking through barriers? Only the blood vessels in Irish speakers' brains perhaps…
It's not that one shouldn't attempt to bring technology to smaller languages, I'm all for that. But quality is key. It's a hard enough sell at the best of times and something like a poor machine translation system can seriously damage the confidence people have in technology in or for their language. A little careful thinking goes a long way…
Once bitten by Open Source, hooked forever?
So some would claim. But having just read the news from Munich, I would re-iterate the need for some soul-searching as to the truth of that claim. The news being that the City of Munich, having decided to switch from Microsoft to Linux in 2004, is considering going back to Microsoft. Sure, there may be some shady business involved but reading the article, there are valid problems that the users are raising.
There are undeniable benefits of Open Source stuff and I won't bore everyone with going into them again. And undoubtedly some issues stem from users just being so used to Microsoft. But what stood out for me was the comment Munich's mayor Dieter Reiter made about the complications with managing email, calendars and contacts and that in his view, Linux is sometimes behind Microsoft.
Now before y'all start listing the amazing tools I can sudo onto my Ubuntu machine, that's not the point. The point is that what Microsoft does offer and which still eludes the Open Source scene is integration and end-user friendliness. Ubuntu sort of makes a stab at that but in my view still falls short.
I will forgo my usual verbosity and simply pose some questions:
- Was it really smart of Mozilla to ditch the official development of Thunderbird (their email client) and Lightning (the calendar that goes with it)? Rather than integrating it further with Firefox and coming up with a webmail service based on it?
- Why is there still so little cross-project coordination and cooperation in the Open Source scene?
- Could this be a painful lesson that OS is not an addictive drug to most users and that they will come off it if they're having a bad trip? Does this mean that the cavalier way in which most OS projects approach issues of usability and the user interface are coming round big time to bite us?
Don't get me wrong. I still think it's the only sustainable way forward, especially for SMLs (small to medium locales). But pride in amazing code will not cut the mustard with Mrs McGinty down the road who just wants something she can use out of the box and link to her phone and with a calendar for her webmail so she won't forget her next appointment with the orthodontist. Without resorting to command lines that would make Linus weep.
While 420km below the ISS a Dani is sharpening his stone axe
Sometimes the world of software feels a bit like that, a confusing array of ancient and cutting edge stuff.I see you nodding sagely, thinking of the people still using Windows 98 or even more extreme, Windows 3.11 or people who just don't want to upgrade to Firefox 3 (we're on 29 just now, for those of you on Shrome). I actually understand that, on the one hand you have very low-key users who just write the odd email and on the other you have specialists (this is most likely something happening at your local hospital, incidentally) who rely on a custom-rigged system using custom-designed software, all done in the days of yore, to run some critical piece of technology and who are loathe to change it since… well… it works. I don't blame them, who wants to mess around with bleeding tiles when they're trying to zap your tumour.
But that wasn't actually what I was thinking about. I was thinking about the spectrum of localizer friendly and unfriendly software. At the one extreme you have cutting edge Open Source developers working on the next generation of localization (also known as l20n, one up from l10n) and on the other you have… well, troglodytes. Since I don't want to turn this into a really complicated lecture about linguistic features, I'll pick a fairly straightforward example, the one that actually made me pick up my e-pen in anger. Plurals.
What's the big deal, slap an -s on? Ummm. No. Ever since someone decided that counting one-two-lots (ah, I wish I had grown up a !San) was no longer sufficient, languages have been busy coming up with astonishingly complex (or simple) ways of counting stuff. One the one extreme you have languages like Cantonese which don't inflict any changes on the things they're counting. So the writing system aside, you just go 0 apple, 1 apple, 2 apple… 100 apple, 1,000 apple and so on.
English is a tiny step away from that, counting 0 apples, 1 apple, 2 apples… 100 apples, 1,000 apples and so on. Spot something already? Indeed. Logic doesn't really come into it, not in a mathematical sense. By that I mean there is no reason why in Cantonese 0 should pattern with 1, 2 etc but that in English 0 should go with 2, 3, etc. It just does. Sure, historical linguists can sometimes shed light on how these have developed but not very often. On the whole, they just are.
This is where it gets entertaining (for linguists). First insight, there aren't as many systems as there are languages. So much less than 6,000. In fact, looking at the places where such rules are collected, there are probably less than a 100 different ways (on the planet) for counting stuff. Still fun time though (for linguists). Let me give you a couple of examples. A lot of Slavonic (Ukrainian, Russian etc) languages require up to 3 different forms of a noun:
- FORM 1: any number ending in 1 (1, 11, 21, 31….)
- FORM 2: ends in 2, 3 or 4 – but not 12, 13 or 14 (22, 23, 24, 32, 33, 34…)
- FORM 3: anything else (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27…)
That almost makes sense in a way. But we can add a few more twists. Take the resurrected decimal system in Scottish Gaelic. It requires up to 4 forms of a noun:
- FORM 1: 1 and 11 (1 chat, 11 chat)
- FORM 2: 2 and 12 (2 chat, 12 chat)
- FORM 3: 3-10, 13-20 (3 cait, 4 cait, 13 cait, 14 cait…)
- FORM 4: anything else (21 cat, 22 cat, 100 cat…)
Hang one, you're saying, surely FORM 1 and FORM 2 could be merged. 'fraid not, because while the word cat makes it look as if they're the same, if you start counting something beginning with the letter d, n, t, s, the following happens:
- FORM 1: 1 taigh, 11 taigh
- FORM 2: 2 thaigh, 12 thaigh
- FORM 3: 3 taighean, 4 taighean, 13 taighean, 14 taighean…
- FORM 4: 21 taigh, 22 taigh, 100 taigh…
Told you, fun! Now here's where it gets annoying. Initially, in the very early days of software, localization mostly meant taking software written in English and translating it into German, French, Spanish, Italian & Co and then a bit later on adding Chinese, Japanese and Korean to the list.
Through a sheer fluke, that worked almost perfectly. English has a very common pattern, as it turns out (one form for 1 and another for anything else) so going from English to German posed no problems in translation. You simple took a pair of English strings like:
- Open one file
- Open %d files
and translated them into German:
- Eine Datei öffnen
- %d Dateien öffnen
Similarly, going to Chinese also posed no problem, you just ended up with a superfluous string because (I'll use English words rather than Chinese characters):
- Open one file
- Open %d file
also created no linguistic or computational problems. Well, there was the fact that in French 0 patterns with 1, not with the plural as it does in English but I bet at that point English developers thought they were home and dry and ready to tick off the whole issue of numbers and number placeholders in software.
Now I have no evidence but I suspect a Slavonic language like Russian was one of the first to kick up a stink. Because as we saw, it has a much more elaborate pattern than English. Now there was one bit of good news for the developers: although these linguistic setups were elaborate in some cases, they also followed predictable patterns and you only need about 6 categories (which ended up being called ONE, TWO, FEW, MANY, OTHER for the sake of readability – so Gaelic ended up with ONE, TWO, FEW and OTHER for example). Which meant you could write a rule for the language in question and then prep your software to present the translator – and ultimately the user – with the right number of strings for translation. Sure, they look a bit crazy, like this one for Gaelic:
Plural-Forms: nplurals=4; plural=(n==1 || n==11) ? 0 : (n==2 || n==12) ? 1 : (n > 2 && n < 20) ? 2 : 3;\n
but you only had to do it once and that was that. Simples… you'd think. Oh no. I mean, yes, certainly doable and indeed a lot of software correctly applies plural formatting these days. Most Open Source projects certainly do, programs like Linux or Firefox for example have it, which is the reason why you probably never noticed anything odd about it.
One step down from this nice implementation of plurals are projects like Joomla! who will allow you to use plurals but they won't help you. Let me explain (briefly). Joomla! has one of the more atavistic approaches to localization – they expect translators to work directly in the .ini files Joomla! uses. Oh wow. So to begin with, that DOES enable you to do plurals but to begin with you have to figure out how to say the plural rule of your language in Joomla! and put that into one of the files. In our case, that turned out to be
public static function getPluralSuffixes($count) {
if ($count == 0 || $count > 19) {
$return = array('0');
elseif($count == 1 || $count == 11) {
$return = array('1');
elseif($count == 2 || $count == 12) {
$return = array('2');
elseif(($count > 2 && $count < 12) || ($count > 12 && $count < 19) {
$return = array('FEW');
Easy peasy. One then has to take the English, for example:
COM_CONTENT_N_ITEMS_CHECKED_IN_0="No cat"
COM_CONTENT_N_ITEMS_CHECKED_IN_1="%d cat"
COM_CONTENT_N_ITEMS_CHECKED_IN_MORE="%d cats"
and change it to this for Gaelic:
COM_CONTENT_N_ITEMS_CHECKED_IN_1="%d cat"
COM_CONTENT_N_ITEMS_CHECKED_IN_2="%d chat"
COM_CONTENT_N_ITEMS_CHECKED_IN_FEW="%d cait"
COM_CONTENT_N_ITEMS_CHECKED_IN_OTHER="%d cat"
Unsurprisingly, most localizers just can't be bothered doing the plurals properly in Joomla!.
Ning is another project in this category – they also required almost as many contortions as Joomla! but their mud star is for having had plural formatting. And then having ditched it because allegedly the translators put in too many errors. Well duh… give a man a rusty saw and then complain he's not sawing fast enough or what?
And then there are those projects which stubbornly plod on without any form of plural formatting (except English style plurals of course). The selection of programs which are still without proper plurals IS surprising I must say. You might think you'd find a lot of very old Open Source projects here which go back so far that no-one wants to bother with fixing the code. Wrong. There are some fairly new programs and apps in this category where the developers chose to ignore plurals either through linguistic ignorance or arrogance. Skype (started in 2003) and Netvibes (2005) for example. Just for contrast, Firefox was born in 2002 and to my knowledge always accounted for plurals.
Similarly, some of them belong to big software houses which technically have the money and manpower to fix this – such as Microsoft. Yep, Microsoft. To this date, no Microsoft product I'm aware of can handle non-English type plurals properly in ANY other language. Russians must be oddly patient when it comes to languages cause I get really annoyed when my screen tells me I have closed 5 window…
A lot of software falls somewhere between the two extremes – I guess it's just the way humans are, looking at the way we build our cities into and onto and over older bits of city except when it all falls down and we have to (or can?) start from scratch. But that makes it no less annoying when you're trying to make software sound less like a robot in translation than it has to…
PS: I'd be curious to know which program first implemented plurals. I'm sort of guessing it's Linux but I'm not old enough to remember. Let me know if you have some insights?
PPS: If you're a developer and want to know more about plurals, I recommend the Unicode Consortium's page on plurals as a starting point, you can take it from there.
Sometimes being anal-retentive works
But mostly, it doesn't. As is my conclusion regarding the "security" settings in Windows 8 where they've frankly tied themselves into a knot that would do the Midgard Serpent proud.
I only became aware of this knot when trying to install a program recently, in my case this was the highly innocuous LibreOffice update (which is basically a re-install that keeps your personal files and addons rather than an upgrade). So for the purposes of what I was doing, let's treat this as a new installation. You get half way through and what happens? Error 1303 is what happens, the one about "installer has insufficient privileges to access blablabla":
So basically it's telling me that I, the one and only user of this machine who also happens to be logged in as an admin, doesn't have the necessary rights to install a program. Rrrright…
There are two ways I can look at this. The cynic in me says they're trying to force the bulk of users (who are out-of-the-box users who don't "mess" with their systems) into using the pre-installed, approved and expensive junk their computers come with. Because the solutions to this problem start at the Gordian level and spiral upwards, some involving command prompts or a staggering array of permission setting windows that looks more like a digital card-house than system administration.
The other of course is sheer idiocy, where some developer figured that the best way of stopping users from cough using their systems would be the implement a fiendish array of permissions and user levels that would prevent unauthorised programs from installing themselves or users from accidentally messing up things. The only Ymir-sized snag is that you end up with users, desperate to install the things they actually want, from fiddling around with the permission settings for users and admins. Usually in the form of trying to create at least one super-user to get around all these issues. Which brings us round in a neat circle, where anyone gaining illegal access to the system has all the privileges they could ever want. I believe sporting natures describe that as an "own goal". Nice one chaps.
Oh, but I did find a fairly simple workaround in the end. Amusingly, this anal-retentive approach seems to apply mainly to system folders and folders the system created. Such as Programs or Programs (x86). If you tell the installer to create a new directory, such as C:\Programan\LibreOffice4\, then it doesn't bat an eyelid. "Oh my" as George Takei would say…

While Mali has stabilized since the armed conflict of 2012-13, the vast northern regions continue to be plagued by rampant lawlessness and violence from both pro and anti-government forces. Rule of law institutions countrywide are weak, in part due to corrupt practices and inadequate resources for the criminal justice system. Corruption, endemic at all levels of government, further impeded Malians' access to basic health care and education. There has been a decrease in abuses by state security forces, but Malian authorities have made little effort to investigate and hold accountable those implicated in serious abuses during the recent armed conflict.

Warring weather systems battle it out and region gets soaked in the process
It was a washout waiting to happen.
Oppressive tropical air steaming Western Pennsylvania since June finally erupted, colliding on Wednesday with a cooler high-pressure system from Canada to dump near-record rain on parts of the South Hills and other Pittsburgh suburbs, forecasters said.
"The two pressure systems are going to fight it out but the Canadian one is going to win" by Thursday, said Henry Margusity, a senior meteorologist with AccuWeather.com in State College. He said Western Pennsylvanians this weekend "can actually go out and cut your grass without sloshing in the mud."
They'll need to dry out first. Torrential rain arrived in two waves — at about 6 a.m., and then about 12 hours later.
Morning storms alone positioned the rain among the region's most intense in a decade, said state climatologist Paul Knight.
The National Weather Service reported about 2.5 inches between 6 and 9 a.m. in some South Hills neighborhoods, a burst that overwhelmed storm sewers, waterways and rush-hour traffic. Pittsburgh's single-day rainfall record for this month is 3.48 inches, on July 28, 1999, though the all-time record for the city is 5.95 inches on Sept. 17, 2004, during Hurricane Ivan, according to the weather service.
One-day rain tallies during July in Pittsburgh have topped 2.8 inches four times since 1927, weather service records show.
Water levels rose dramatically on Wednesday in part because of saturated ground, soaked by frequent storms over the past several weeks, forecasters said. Rain fell on Pittsburgh all but one or two days since June 25, according to AccuWeather.com.
"All the streams and tributaries were immediately bank-full and immediately came out of their banks," said John Darnley, a weather service meteorologist in Moon. "There was nowhere for it to go."
One of the worst-hit was Chartiers Creek in Carnegie, where water by midday reached 11.8 feet — up from its normal flow of 1.47 feet, Darnley said. He said nearby tributaries ran as high as 10 times normal levels.
The conditions marked a stark change from last summer, when Pittsburgh recorded just 1.96 inches of rain from June 6 to July 10, according to the New York consulting firm Weather 2000. More than 8 inches fell during the same period this summer, said company chief meteorologist Michael Schlacter, calling the discrepancy "a tale of two summers."
Overall rainfall in Pittsburgh since June 1 is about 50 percent above average, according to AccuWeather.com. Knight left open the possibility of additional serious storms in the next month or so, "only because there's no substantive change in the way weather patterns are working right now."
Forecasts through early next week promise sunny skies.
"It would take a while for the atmosphere to reload, to get the sort of goop you've had," Knight said.

Thanks for your contributions.
@pentaxuser: just the contrary, there are multiple possibilities. The following systems I know of can be used on the Pentax 645N: Pentax 67, Exakta 66/Pentacon 6, Kiev 80/88 and Hasselblad.
These should also be possible as they use a flange focal distance that is greater than that of the Pentax 645 system:
Mamiya RB67
Mamiya RZ67
Rollei SL66
Hasselblad 1600F clones
Hasselblad (1000F/1600F)
Hasselblad (200, 500 and 2000 series)
Rollei SLX
@adelorenzo: it is not the amount of blur but its quality I am worried about. Technically speaking, the amount of blur is proportional to the crop factor of the format, which means the Pentax 75/2,8 produces equivalent bokeh to an 50/1,7 on 35mm using the same perspective. There is not much lost compared to the 50/1.4 I use on 35mm.
@Mustafa: I've tested and used the following Pentacon 6 / Kiev 80 / Kiev 88 Lenses on my Pentax 645N via adaptors:
Mir-26 45mm f/3.5
Kaleinar-3 150mm f/2.8
Jupiter-36 250mm f/3.5
Telear-5 250mm f/5.6 MC
Tair-33 300mm f/4.5
I additionally tested them on an Nikon D5100 using live view, every lens throughout every aperture. The Kaleinar had a nice bokeh for a portrait lens, but contrast and sharpness of every lens left a lot to desire. This was visible in scans of 120 film even with resolution as low as 1200dpi. It might be, that the 80mm focal length lenses of the Pentacon Six system are better performer, and that might very well be the case for the Schneider Kreuznach lenses. But at least the russian made lenses did not convince me personally.
Best wishes,

Dec 5 Ole Smokey Moonshine presents Ryan Bingham Knoxville, TN Ryan Bingham needed some peace and quiet. Free of the burdens that had saddled him during the writing and recording of his recent albums, he relocated to an old airstream trailer tucked away in the mountains of California, camping out for several weeks and embracing the solitude to dig down deep and craft his most powerful album yet, 'Fear and Saturday Night.' "It gave me the space and time to tap into myself," Bingham says of the experience. "Up there, it was totally isolated. No phones, no noise, no lights. At night the only thing you'd hear is the bugs and the coyotes. It's lonely when you get back up in there and there's nobody around, but for me, I kind of grew up that way in the middle of nowhere. Since I've started touring, I'm surrounded by people all the time, so getting back to the roots of everything, that's really where I seem to find stuff that's meaningful when I'm writing songs." learn more

Okay, this is just a thought, but I'll throw it out there and see what you ladies think.
We live in Las Vegas, a 24hr town, and I was thinking about finding someone who works a different shift than me with a baby, to team up with to watch our kids. Like I work from 8-5, and then find a mom who works the late shift or a different shift, and I could watch her baby while she works, and she could watch my baby while I work.
Would a situation like this work you think?

Power system tight, warns EskomComment on this story
Johannesburg - South Africa's power grid remained under pressure on Tuesday, Eskom said.
"Over the evening peak, in the early evening, we are expecting the grid to be exceptionally tight with a chance of needing to reduce demand," spokesman Andrew Etzinger said.
"A similar situation for Wednesday and Thursday evening as well is expected, and that is due to expected high demand related to the weather."
The company has previously urged users to switch off appliances and geysers during the 5pm to 9pm peak, and especially between 5.30pm and 6.30pm, when the peak was most pronounced.

Stainton & White 1987
Figures from the procession of the Order of the Garter on St George's Day
Lely's drawings showing figures taking part in the procession of the Order of the Garter are among the most splendidly baroque to have been made in England. Although over thirty such drawings are known today, it is remarkable that there does not seem to have been any contemporary reference to them, nor do they appear to have been in any of Lely's sales. The earliest notice of any of these drawings so far discovered is in the sale catalogue of the painter Charles Jervas, in which lot 1666 on the twentieth day (the sale began on 24 March 1740) was a group of "8 of the poor Knights of Windsor, in Caricatura, S. P. Lely". Sixteen drawings from the series were included in an anonymous sale held by De Leth in Amsterdam in March 1763: they were bought by Johan van der Marck and dispersed after his death (several, including 1847,0326.15, are now in the British Museum).
Neither the dating nor the purpose of these drawings has been firmly established. Charles II revived the Order of the Garter after the Restoration, and the annual procession and related ceremonies were held with great magnificence: a new form of ceremonial dress for the Knights was introduced, to be seen at its clearest in 1847,0529.12. The earliest date for Lely's drawings is probably 1663, the year in which Captain Vaughan (1847,0326.17) was admitted as a Poor Knight; while the latest date must be 1671, the year in which Sir Henry de Vic (c.1599-1671), Chancellor of the Order, who is the subject of another drawing from the same series, in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (Brown (1982) 154), died. Although, as Sir Oliver Millar has pointed out, the finished, self-contained quality of the drawings suggests that they may not have been intended as studies for a more elaborate composition, it is nevertheless significant that Lely owned a particularly beautiful oil sketch by Van Dyck (now belonging to the Duke of Rutland), originally painted for Charles I in about 1638, showing the King, Officers and Knights of the Garter "goeing a Precessioning upon St Georgs day". This is the only surviving evidence of a scheme described by Bellori in 'Le Vite dei Pittori, Scultori ed Architetti moderni. . .', Rome, 1672, pp. 262-3, for the decoration of a great room at Whitehall (at that period, the processions sometimes took place in London) with tapestries illustrating the history and ceremonial of the Order. It is not impossible that Lely contemplated some grand scheme - a series of life-size portraits, or a large subject-picture - devoted to the Garter, probably to be carried out at Windsor, where the Order had its Chapel and where Lely's friend Hugh May was in charge of the King's ambitious projects for rebuilding and decorating the Castle. In the post-Restoration period, the renewed veneration for the Order, combined with a new interest in medieval history, were probably the stimuli for the book by the antiquary Elias Ashmole (1617-92), 'The Institution, Laws & Ceremonies of the most Noble Order of the Garter', published in 1672 with illustrations by Hollar, and suggest that Lely was not alone in his plans to celebrate the Order. Ashmole himself was Windsor Herald, and was probably one of the figures represented in another drawing from Lely's series, formerly in the Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin, but lost during the Second World War.
The drawings illustrated in Stainton & White 1987 are from the group of sixteen in the British Museum (two of which are offsets); they are arranged in the order in which the figures would have walked in the procession, as shown in Hollar's etching (see Stainton & White 1987, p. 132). The vivid quality of movement which Lely captures with such ease, to be seen particularly in 1847,0529.11, suggests that he must himself have witnessed the event. Where Hollar gives us practical information on the exact form of dress (see Stainton & White 1987, p. 135) and ceremonial to be observed, but makes no attempt to depict recognisable individuals, Lely (who sometimes skimps on detail, omitting the collar of the Order or, as in 1847,0529.11, the bows by which it is attached to the mantle) does so, and at the same time suggests the splendour and swagger of the Knights, while depicting the simpler dress and mien of the Poor Knights with sympathetic gravity.
A full account of Lely's Garter drawings is to be found in Sir Oliver Millar's catalogue of the Lely exhibition held at the National Portrait Gallery, London, in 1978.

Blackcurrant Ice Cream
I think blackcurrants make the very nicest ice cream – smooth, rich and velvety. However, this same recipe works very well with loganberries, or even raspberries, if you prefer. Whatever fruit you use, this ice cream should be eaten within three weeks.
Serves 6-8
|1 lb (450 g) fresh or frozen blackcurrants, defrosted if frozen
|6 oz (175 g) sugar
|10 fl oz (275 ml) double cream
|Oven temperatures and Conversions
|Click here for information
|You will also need a freezerproof polythene box with a lid and a nylon sieve (a metal one can discolour the fruit).
This recipe is taken from Delia Smith's Complete Cookery Course and Delia Smith's Complete Illustrated Cookery Course.
There's no need to take the stalks off the blackcurrants, just pile them, about one third of a pound (5 oz/150 g) at a time, into the sieve set over a mixing bowl, and mash like mad with a wooden spoon until you have extracted all the pulp and only the stalks, pips and skins are left in the sieve.
Now place the sugar and 5 fl oz (150 ml) water in a saucepan over a medium heat, stir until all the sugar crystals have dissolved, then let it come to the boil, and boil for 3 minutes exactly.
Then remove from the heat and stir the syrup into the fruit pulp. Whip the cream until it just begins to thicken. Be careful not to overwhip: it mustn't be thick, just floppy.
Fold the cream into the fruit mixture until thoroughly blended. Pour it into the polythene box, and freeze in a freezer or in the ice-making compartment of a fridge turned to its coldest setting.
As soon as the mixture begins to set (after about 3 hours) turn it out into a bowl and beat thoroughly. Then return it to the freezer (in the box) until set – about another 3 hours.
Remove to the main part of the fridge about an hour before serving.

California AG issues new privacy policy and 'do not track' compliance guidelines, announces proactive enforcement
By Andrew D Lanphere, Catherine D Meyer, Roxane A Polidora and Jacob R Sorensen
The California Attorney General (AG) recently released a series of guidelines to assist with compliance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act of 2003 (CalOPPA), which was amended to require new data collection and 'do not track' disclosures. These guidelines offer assistance regarding the form and content of operators' privacy policies. The AG has stated she will actively enforce operators' compliance with CalOPPA, including through litigation. Operators of websites and online services that are used or visited by California residents should ensure as soon as possible that their privacy policies comply with the AG's guidelines.
CalOPPA, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 22575–22579, has since 2003 required 'operators' of commercial websites and online services that collect 'personally identifiable information' of California residents to conspicuously post their privacy policies. An operator violates CalOPPA if its privacy policy fails to comply with the statute's disclosure requirements either (1) knowingly and wilfully or (2) negligently and materially. Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22576. The AG has previously filed suit for CalOPPA violations seeking injunctive relief and civil penalties under Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200, on the theory that the improper privacy policy constituted an unlawful business practice.
As of 1 January 2014, CalOPPA requires that privacy policies additionally describe (1) how the operator responds to 'do not track' browser signals (DNT signals) or 'other mechanisms' that give a consumer the ability to indicate the consumer does not want his or her personally identifiable information collected and tracked; and (2) the possible presence of other parties conducting online tracking on the operator's website or online services. Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575(b)(5)–(6). In lieu of the first requirement to describe how the operator responds to DNT signals, the operator can provide a 'clear and conspicuous' link in the privacy policy to a 'program or protocol' that offers consumers a choice about online tracking, along with a description of the program or protocol and the effects it has on participating consumers. Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22575(b)(7)…
