Tanzania's population is concentrated along the coast and isles, the fertile northern and southern highlands, and the lands bordering Lake Victoria. The relatively arid and less fertile central region is sparsely inhabited. So too is much of the fertile and well watered far west, including the shores of Lake Tanganyika and Lake Nyasa (Malawi). About 80% of Tanzanians live in rural communities.
Zanzibar, population about 1.3 million (3% of Tanzania's population), consists of two main islands and several small ones just off the Tanzanian coast. The two largest islands are Unguja (often referred to simply as Zanzibar) and Pemba. Zanzibaris, together with their socio-linguistic cousins in the Comoros Islands and the East Africa coast from modern-day southern Somalia to northern Mozambique, created Swahili culture and language, which reflect long and close associations with other parts of Africa and with the Arab world, Persia, and South Asia.
Tanzanians are proud of their strong sense of national identity and commitment to Swahili as the national language. There are roughly 120 ethnic communities in the country representing several of Africa's main socio-linguistic groups.
Consensus scientific opinion places human origins in the Great Rift Valley, which dominates the landscape of much of East Africa. Northern Tanzania's Olduvai Gorge has provided rich evidence of the area's prehistory, including fossil remains of some of humanity's earliest ancestors.
Interior Tanzania's great cultural and linguistic diversity is due to the various histories of migrations from elsewhere in the region. In some instances, groups of migrants separated, leading to different cultural developments. In other cases, various groups merged, creating new cultural identities and languages. Most Tanzanians are aware of their cultural origins and the traditional histories of the ethnic community with which they identify. The peoples of the interior traded with coastal communities, which in turn traded with all the countries bordering the Indian Ocean. Long standing patterns of political organization, economic production, and trade were disrupted by the violent escalation of the Arab-led slave and ivory trades in the 18th and 19th centuries. Bagamoyo on the coast and Zanzibar town were major slave ports serving markets for slave labor mostly in the Arab world. These societies, already severely stressed by the violence of the slave trade, came under further pressure once European explorers (mostly military, some missionary) opened the way to European conquest (first by semi-private European companies, later by European states) from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century.
Coastal and island Tanzania organized into city-states around 1,500 years ago. The Swahili city-states traded with the peoples of the interior and the peoples of the Indian Ocean and beyond (including China). Many merchants from these trading partner nations (principally from inland Africa, the Arab world, Persia and India) established themselves in these coastal and island communities, which became cosmopolitan in flavor.
The Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama explored the East African coast in 1498 on his voyage to India. By 1506, the Portuguese claimed control over the entire coast. This control was nominal, however, because the Portuguese did not settle the area (except for a few forts) or explore the interior. Instead, they violently enforced a monopoly on Indian Ocean trade, denying the Swahili city-states their main means of livelihood. The Portuguese also demanded tribute, bombarding and looting communities that refused to pay protection money. The coastal peoples rose up against the Portuguese in the late 1700s. Their resistance was assisted by one of their main trading partners, the Omani Arabs. By the early 19th century the Portuguese were forced out of coastal East Africa north of the Ruvuma River and the Omanis moved in.
Based in Zanzibar, the Omani Sultanate maintained close trade and diplomatic relations with the major trading powers, including the United States as of 1837. They also maintained close relations with some states in the interior with whom they were partners in the ivory and slave trades. European exploration of the interior began soon after the Omanis had consolidated their control of the coast and Zanzibar. Two German missionaries reached Mt. Kilimanjaro in the 1840s. British explorers Richard Burton and John Speke crossed the interior to Lake Tanganyika in 1857, with Speke going on to Lake Victoria. David Livingstone, the Scottish missionary-explorer who crusaded against the slave trade, established his last mission at Ujiji, where he was "found" by Henry Morton Stanley, an American journalist-explorer, who had been commissioned by the New York Herald to locate him.
The Omani Sultanate, which had been heavily engaged in selling African slaves principally to the Arab world, outlawed the slave trade in 1876. British influence over the Sultanate steadily increased in the 1880s until Zanzibar formally became a British Protectorate in 1890.
German colonial interests were first advanced in 1884. Karl Peters, who formed the Society for German Colonization, concluded a series of agreements of dubious validity with "leaders" of questionable standing purporting to accept German "protection" for their inland African states. Prince Otto von Bismarck's government backed Peters in the subsequent establishment of the German East Africa Company. In 1886 and 1890, Anglo-German agreements were negotiated that delineated the British and German spheres of influence in the interior of East Africa and along the coastal strip previously claimed by the Omani sultan of Zanzibar. In 1891, the German Government took over direct administration of the territory from the German East Africa Company and appointed a governor with headquarters at Dar es Salaam.
German rule, which featured "hut taxes" and conscript labor to fund administration and infrastructure that benefitted German settlers at the great disadvantage of African communities, provoked African resistance. The Maji Maji rebellion of 1905-07 united the peoples of the Southern Highlands in a struggle to expel the German administration. The German military killed 120,000 Africans in suppressing the rebellion.
German colonial domination of Tanganyika ended after World War I when control of most of the territory passed to the United Kingdom under a League of Nations mandate. After World War II, Tanganyika became a UN trust territory under British control. Subsequent years witnessed Tanganyika moving gradually toward self-government and independence.
In 1954, Julius K. Nyerere, a school teacher who was then one of only two Tanganyikans educated abroad at the university level (University of Edinburgh, Scotland), organized a political party--the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU). TANU candidates were victorious in the Legislative Council elections of September 1958 and February 1959. In December 1959, the United Kingdom agreed to the establishment of internal self-government following general elections to be held in August 1960. Nyerere was named chief minister of the subsequent government.
In May 1961, Tanganyika became autonomous, and Nyerere became Prime Minister under a new constitution. Full independence was achieved on December 9, 1961. Julius Nyerere, then age 39, was elected President when Tanganyika became a republic within the Commonwealth a year after independence. Tanganyika was the first East African state to gain independence.
Zanzibar: Sultanate/British Protectorate to Independence, Revolution, and Union
Under the Sultanate, the Arab population comprised the ruling class and landed aristocracy. Arabs, primarily from Oman, seized large tracts of land on Unguja (except in the less fertile far north of the island) to set up highly profitable spice plantations. Dispossessed indigenous Zanzibaris (known as Shirazis) became agricultural workers, sharecroppers, or semi-serfs. The plantations were also worked by slaves or former slaves, originating from the mainland. There was also significant mainland migration to the islands, especially Unguja, to work menial jobs during the boom years of the spice trade. The Afro-Shirazi population of Unguja mostly resented their Omani and British rulers.
Shirazis from the northern tip of Unguja, the nearby island of Tumbatu, and Pemba enjoyed symbiotic commercial relations with the Arab new arrivals and their Sultanate. They were not dispossessed of their lands. They mostly prospered under the Omanis. Pemban and far northern Ungujan Shirazis tended to identify their interests with the Sultanate.
The British ruled Zanzibar on behalf of the Sultan, not on behalf of his subjects. Their policies explicitly favored Arabs and Asians over Shirazis and mainland Africans (in that order). A series of pre-independence elections revealed two camps: the anti-Sultanate, Africa-oriented, and secular Afro-Shirazi Party (ASP) with a stronghold in the densely populated areas of Unguja; and the pro-Sultanate, Arab World-oriented, and explicitly Islamic Zanzibar Nationalist Party (ZNP) and its Pemban ally (the Zanzibar and Pemban People's Party - ZPPP), which was supported by most Arabs, Asians, far northern Ungujans, Pembans, and those who worked for the state. The ASP consistently received a larger share of the popular vote (though not by much), but the ZNP and its ally received more seats because they predominated in more constituencies. At independence, the British handed power to the two parties friendliest to the Sultanate and the status quo: the ZNP and ZPPP.
In January, 1964, 1 month after independence from Britain, Zanzibar (specifically Unguja) experienced a bloody uprising against the institutions of the Sultanate, the ZNP/ZPPP government, the Arab and Asian communities, and any Shirazis considered friendly to the state (such as ZNP members and Pembans). Although specific figures vary, several thousand Arabs were killed. Rape and other atrocities were widespread. Arabs were expelled or fled in large numbers. Asian shops were looted. Property was expropriated and re-distributed to ASP supporters. After a period of confusion, the ASP leadership and its allies assumed control under a "Supreme Revolutionary Council" and extended their control to Pemba (which had not participated in the uprising). Pemba was ruled by "Commissars" who used floggings, forced labor, and public humiliation to enforce their will over a hostile population. After a few months, the ASP leadership opted to accept an offer of union with Tanganyika (forming the nation of Tanzania), both to prevent a counter-revolution and to buttress the political position of the ASP leaders among other members of the Supreme Revolutionary Council. The Union Agreement (signed April 26, 1964) granted wide-ranging autonomy for Zanzibar. This date is observed in Tanzania as Union Day. It is Tanzania's official national day.
United Republic of Tanzania
The Union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar adopted the name "United Republic of Tanzania" on April 26, 1964. In order to create a single ruling party in both parts of the union, Nyerere merged TANU (mainland) with the ASP (Zanzibar) to form the CCM (Chama Cha Mapinduzi-CCM, Revolutionary Party) in 1977. As the sole legal political party for all of Tanzania, CCM had the role of directing the population in all significant political and economic activities. In practice, Party and State were one. On February 5, 1977, the union of the two parties was ratified in a new constitution. The merger was reinforced by principles enunciated in the 1982 union constitution and reaffirmed in the constitution of 1984.
Nyerere instituted social policies that proved successful in forging a strong Tanzanian national identity, which to this day takes priority in the hearts of the great majority of Tanzanians over ethnic, regional or linguistic identities. Observers are nearly unanimous in attributing Tanzania's unbroken record of political stability to Nyerere's social policies. Nyerere's economic policies were ruinous. They were gradually reversed after he left power, but many in the state bureaucracy remain opposed to modern, market economics.
President Nyerere stepped down from office and was succeeded as President by Ali Hassan Mwinyi in 1985. Nyerere retained his position as Chairman of the ruling CCM party for 5 more years. He remained influential in Tanzanian politics until his death in October 1999. The current President, Jakaya Kikwete, was elected in December 2005 and re-elected on October 31, 2010. Tanzania's constitution limits presidents to two terms in office.
In Zanzibar, where past elections were marked by violence and widespread irregularities, the 2010 elections proceeded peacefully. After years of intense debates between Civic United Front (CUF) and CCM, the two political parties finally reached a power-sharing agreement. On January 29, 2010, the unicameral Zanzibar House of Representatives adopted as law a bill that outlined the parameters of a government of national unity and called for a popular referendum on the plan. On July 31, 2010, Zanzibari voters gave their approval in the first-ever referendum to amend the constitution to allow for a unity government in Zanzibar. Ali Mohamed Shein, the immediate past Union Vice President, was elected President of Zanzibar on October 31, 2010.
Tanzania's president and Parliament members are elected concurrently by direct popular vote for 5-year terms. The president appoints a prime minister who serves as the government's leader in the Parliament. The president selects his cabinet from among Parliament members. The constitution also empowers the president to nominate 10 non-elected members of Parliament, who also are eligible to become cabinet members. Elections for president and all parliamentary seats were last held in October 2010. The next presidential and parliamentary elections will be in 2015.
The unicameral Parliament has up to 357 members: the Attorney General; the Speaker; five members elected from and by the Zanzibar House of Representatives; 102 special women's seats apportioned among the political parties based on their election results; 239 constituent seats (including 50 from Zanzibar); and 10 members nominated by the president. Although Zanzibar accounts for only 3% of Tanzania's population, it is guaranteed over 15% of seats in the Union Parliament. The ruling party, CCM, holds almost 80% of the seats in the Parliament. The Tanzanian Union Parliament legislates on all union matters (foreign affairs, defense, police, etc.) and non-union matters for the mainland. Laws passed by the Parliament are valid for Zanzibar only in specifically designated union matters.
Under the Union Agreement, Zanzibar has extensive autonomy within Tanzania. Zanzibar has its own President, legislature and bureaucracy ("the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar" led by "the Revolutionary Council") that presides over all non-union matters. The constitutional changes endorsed in the July 31, 2010 referendum provide for a government of national unity which establishes the positions of the first and second vice presidents, the former to be selected from the lead opposition party and the latter from the ruling party. Ministers must be selected from among the members of Zanzibar's House of Representatives. The cabinet must reflect the proportion of seats held by each political party.
There are currently 81 members in the House of Representatives in Zanzibar: 50 elected by the people; 10 appointed by the president of Zanzibar, two of whom must be from the opposition; five ex officio members; an attorney general appointed by the president; and 20 special seats allocated to women. Zanzibar's House of Representatives can make laws for Zanzibar without the approval of the union government as long as it does not involve union-designated matters. The terms of office for Zanzibar's president and House of Representatives are 5 years. The semi-autonomous status of Zanzibar under the Union is frequently debated, both by mainlanders and by Zanzibaris.
Tanzania has a five-level judiciary combining the jurisdictions of tribal, Islamic, and British common law. Appeal is from the primary courts through the district courts, resident magistrate courts, to the high courts, and from the high courts to the Court of Appeals. District and resident court magistrates are appointed by the Chief Justice, except for judges of the High Court and Court of Appeals, who are appointed by the president. The Zanzibari court system parallels the legal system of the union. All cases tried in Zanzibari courts, except for those involving constitutional issues and Islamic law, can be appealed to the Court of Appeals of the union. A commercial court was established on the mainland in September 1999 as a division of the High Court.
For administrative purposes, Tanzania is divided into 30 regions--25 on the mainland, three on Unguja (Zanzibar), and two on Pemba (Zanzibar's second isle). District councils (also referred to as local government authorities) act at the most local level. There are 114 councils operating in 99 districts; 22 urban, 92 rural. The 22 urban units are classified further as city (Dar es Salaam and Mwanza), municipal (Arusha, Dodoma, Iringa, Kilimanjaro, Mbeya, Morogoro, Shinyanga, Tabora, and Tanga), and town councils (the remaining 11 communities).

Tanzania held its fourth multi-party general elections on October 31, 2010. The ruling CCM party faced its most serious competition in the multi-party era. President Kikwete was re-elected with 61.7% of the vote, reduced from 80% in 2005. The Chadema party was for the first time the recipient of the most opposition votes. Chadema's presidential candidate, Willibrod Slaa, took 27% of the vote, while CUF's Ibrahim Lipumba received 8%. Voter turnout, at 42%, was by far the lowest in Tanzanian history; previously, at least 70% of registered voters had cast ballots. Although the elections were conducted without major disturbances or irregularities, Chadema officials raised concerns about voting and tabulation procedures and about the constitutional prohibition on challenging presidential election results following their formal announcement.
CCM retained its absolute majority in Parliament, with nearly 80% of the seats. With a total of 47 seats--24 elected and 23 "special seats" for women--Chadema for the first time displaced CUF as the official opposition and selected its Chairman, Freeman Mbowe, as opposition leader. The new Parliament selected Anne Makinda as Tanzania's first woman Speaker of Parliament. Makinda, a member of Parliament since 1975 and former minister, had served as Deputy Speaker since 2005.
Self-governing Zanzibar (3% of Tanzania's population) has long been the tempestuous exception to mainland Tanzania's peaceful politics. Serious irregularities and sporadic violence have marred every election in Zanzibar since 1964. However, after years of abortive negotiations the main opposition party, Civic United Front (CUF), and the ruling party were able to reach a power-sharing agreement. The outcome of the July 31, 2010 referendum set the stage for peaceful general elections on October 31 in Zanzibar. The power-sharing deal eliminated the winner-take-all system, giving the losing side one of two vice president slots and ministerial positions in proportion to the seats it holds in the House of Representatives. On October 31, Zanzibar CCM presidential candidate Ali Mohamed Shein won with 50.1% of the vote, while runner-up Civic United Front (CUF) presidential candidate Seif Sharif Hamad received 49.1%. Shein selected Hamad as his First Vice President and Seif Ali, the former Union Deputy Foreign Minister, as his Second Vice President.
After independence, Tanzania adopted socialist economic policies, resulting in severe economic decline. The state controlled the economy and owned all of the major enterprises. The exchange rate and pricing policies were based on non-market mechanisms, creating low export and real GDP growth, high inflation, and widespread shortages. Agricultural production, the mainstay of the economy, declined steadily.
In 1986, Tanzania began to liberalize its economy and make partial market-oriented economic reforms. Although the government liberalized the agricultural marketing system and domestic prices and initiated financial system reform, economic growth was slow between 1986 and 1995.
Since 1996, Tanzania has taken aggressive steps toward macroeconomic stabilization and structural reforms. The emergence of a strong Ministry of Finance, supported by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other development partners, was instrumental in accelerating fiscal reforms and fostering a turnaround in fiscal performance. Overall, real GDP growth has averaged about 6% a year over the past 7 years, which was higher than the annual average growth of less than 5% in the late 1990s. Total debt service payments for 2010 were $85 million. The IMF's most recent Debt Sustainability Analysis indicates that debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative combined with sound macroeconomic policies place it at low risk of debt distress. Public external debt service was approximately 1% of GDP in 2009 and is expected to remain so for 2010 and 2011.
However, economic growth has not translated to significantly improving the lives of average Tanzanians. The economy remains overwhelmingly donor-dependent; 30% of the budget is dependent upon donor assistance. The global financial crisis significantly affected the tourism industry, one of Tanzania's top foreign-exchange earners; however, Tanzania was able to maintain relatively strong growth in 2010. Continued high food prices since a spike in 2008 have contributed to a rise in inflation to over 10%, a substantial increase from more moderate inflation earlier in the decade.
Agriculture constitutes the most important sector of the economy, providing about 27% of GDP and 80% of employment. Cash crops--including coffee, tea, cotton, cashews, sisal, cloves, and pyrethrum--account for the vast majority of export earnings. While the volume of major crops--both cash and goods marketed through official channels--have increased in recent years, large amounts of produce never reach the market. Poor pricing and unreliable cash flow to farmers continue to frustrate the growth of the agricultural sector.
Accounting for about 22.6% of GDP, Tanzania's industrial sector is one of the smallest in Africa. The main industrial activities are dominated by small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in food processing including dairy products, meat packing, preserving fruits and vegetables, production of textile and apparel, leather tanning, and plastics. A few larger factories manufacture cement, rolled steel, corrugated iron, aluminum sheets, cigarettes, beer and bottling beverages, fruit juices, and mineral water. Other factories produce raw materials, import substitutes, and processed agricultural products. Poor water and electricity infrastructure systems continue to hinder manufacturing. In general, Tanzania's manufacturing sector targets primarily the domestic market with limited exports of manufactured goods. Most of the industry is concentrated in Dar es Salaam.
Generally, Tanzania has a favorable attitude toward foreign direct investment (FDI) and has made efforts to encourage foreign investment. Government steps to improve the business climate include redrawing tax codes, floating the exchange rate, licensing foreign banks, and creating an investment promotion center to cut red tape. However, Tanzania still must overcome the legacy of socialism. The most common complaint of investors, foreign and domestic, is the hostile bureaucracy and the weak judiciary system.
Zanzibar's economy is based primarily on the production of cloves (90% grown on the island of Pemba), the principal foreign exchange earner. Exports have suffered with the downturn in the clove market. Tourism is a promising sector with a number of new hotels and resorts having been built in recent years. A prolonged electricity shortage from December 2009 to March 2010 delivered a blow to Zanzibar's economy, severely affecting tourism and causing a rapid increase in commodity prices.
The island's manufacturing sector is limited mainly to import substitution industries, such as cigarettes, shoes, and processed agricultural products. In 1992, the government designated two export-producing zones and encouraged the development of offshore financial services. Zanzibar still imports much of its staple requirements, petroleum products, and manufactured articles.
After achieving independence, Tanzania's leadership emphasized supporting the efforts of other African nations to gain independence. It supported the struggle against the apartheid government of South Africa, championed some form of political union of African states, and promoted a non-aligned stance toward the Cold War antagonists. To these ends, Tanzania played an important role in regional and international organizations. Tanzania's first president, Julius Nyerere, was one of the founding members of the Non-Aligned Movement. Additionally, Tanzania played an active role in the anti-apartheid front-line states, the G-77, and the Organization of African Unity (OAU). One of Africa's best-known elder statesmen, Nyerere was personally active in many of these organizations, and served as chairman of the OAU (1984-85) and chairman of the six front-line states. Nyerere's death, in October 1999, is solemnly observed each year.
Tanzania enjoys good relations with its neighbors in the region. Tanzania has long promoted efforts to resolve chronic conflicts, especially in the Great Lakes region. Tanzania helped to broker peace talks to end the conflict in Burundi. In March 1996, Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya revived discussion of economic and regional cooperation. These talks culminated with the signing of an East African Cooperation Treaty in September 1999. The East African Community (EAC) customs union came into effect January 1, 2005 and its Common Market Protocol entered into force on July 1, 2010. Rwanda and Burundi joined the EAC as full members in 2007. Tanzania is the only country in East Africa which also is a member of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC). Tanzania was a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council from 2005-2006. President Kikwete chaired the African Union for a 1-year term in 2009-2010. In March 2008, the Tanzanian military led an African Union-authorized force to restore government authority on one of the islands of the Comoros archipelago. Long a host to substantial refugee populations, in 2009 Tanzania granted citizenship to 162,000 Burundi refugees. Tanzania's participation in UN peacekeeping missions includes deployments to Lebanon and Sudan.
The U.S. has provided development assistance to Tanzania since independence. Diplomatic coordination between the two countries was limited during the Cold War decades and security cooperation was even more limited. Security and diplomatic cooperation improved sharply after al-Qaeda bombed the U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam on August 7, 1998. In February 2008, President George W. Bush made an official 4-day visit to Tanzania. President Kikwete, who has visited the United States several times, made a reciprocal official visit to Washington in August 2008. In May 2009, President Kikwete became the first African president to be received by President Barack Obama at the White House.
The U.S. Government provides assistance to Tanzania to support programs in the areas of peace and security, democracy, health, education, economic growth, and natural resource management. Tanzania is a major recipient of funding for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI). In September 2008, Tanzania's $698 million Millennium Challenge Compact entered into force. The Peace Corps provides volunteers serving in education, health, and environment sectors.

Comments On Jul 28, 2011:For the price, these are great. At first they are a little awkward to walk around in, but on the bike, you don't even notice them. Certainly stopped my knees getting bruises from the plastics on my bike when cornering hard.
Highly recommended.

Comments On Nov 19, 2009:I wanted to protect my knees and didn't want to spend a lot of money and these work just like they should. They are comfortable, don't slide around, easy to clean, and very tough.

Comments On Sep 06, 2008:These are not what I'd call "plush" knee guards, so if that is what you after these aren't it. I wanted something minimal in size so they fit the bill. They offer the right amount of protection for me and have held up quite well to many rides.. I wash them often and they keep on going strong.

At first I thought games that weren't remote play enabled probably ran really slow and lagged terribly.
I was wrong, the first game I tried this on was Killzone 2 and it ran surprisingly well no audio lag, buttons were responsive, and the video was smooth without any hiccups.
How to:
1. Dump any game of your choice to your hdd
2. Install Ps3 FTP and launch it
3. Connect via ftp and navigate to your hdd folder then to games -> LAUN12345 -> GAMEZ -> YOUR GAME ID -> PS3_GAME
4. Now copy PARAM.SFO and make a backup of it just in case
5. Download SFO Editor open the sfo and check "enable remote play"
6. Save it and then open up the FTP and transfer the modded sfo back into the PS3_GAME folder.
7. Now connect your psp in remote play and enjoy.
Kudos to theblacksheep for discovering this.
Update: I tested this using the pc remote play and it didn't work, only seems to be working on the psp.

The Westin Singapore
Local Area
Nicknamed the "Lion City" and just one degree from the equator, Singapore is an island city-state situated just off the southern tip of Southeast Asia's Malay Peninsula. The Westin Singapore, meanwhile, is centrally located in the city's financial district. Overlooking Marina Bay, we are steps from everything this buzzing multicultural city has to offer and just 20 minutes from Changi Airport (SIN).
For a panoramic bird's eye view of Singapore's incredible architecture, which blends 21st century high-rises with meticulously refurbished colonial buildings, take a trip on the world's tallest observation wheel, the Singapore Flyer. Lasting 30 minutes, the ride propels 28 air-conditioned capsules 165 meters into the air. A characteristic 30-minute bumboat ride along the Singapore River is another way to enjoy the city's landmarks, quays, bridges, and memorable vistas.
Just a quarter of a mile off the main island, Sentosa Island is home to Universal Studios Singapore®, Underwater World, Songs of the Sea, luge rides, cable cars, beaches, restaurants, bars, golf, and more. If you're in need of a soothing respite from the action, take a stroll around the lush tropical rainforest, ginger garden, or tranquil orchid garden at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. For a sampling of the arts, visit the Art Stage Singapore, National Museum of Singapore, Asian Civilisations Museum, Peranakan Museum, or Singapore Art Museum—or catch a live performance at the Esplanade.
For another taste of the local culture, dig into the food. Eating is a national pastime in Singapore and savory options range from hawker centers to award-winning restaurants showcasing every cuisine under the sun. Additionally home to myriad bars, lounges, and casinos, the city offers entertainment for all moods and tastes. Spend an evening wandering around lively Chinatown or Little India's colorful Serangoon Road. Close to the hotel, Marina Bay Sands Park, an engineering wonder, is home to the 200-meter-high masterpiece Sands Sky Park, upscale restaurants, deluxe lounges, and Marina Bay Sands Casino. A shopper's haven, Singapore also has unrivaled malls and retail outlets. However, if you only have time for one shopping excursion, head to the famous Orchard Road.

The Bloody Baron (late 10th century — early 11th century) was a wizard who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Founders' time and was Sorted into Slytherin house. After Hogwarts, he fell in love with Helena Ravenclaw, but she did not love him. He was sent by Rowena Ravenclaw to find Helena in Albania, but Helena refused to return with him and so he killed her in a rage. When he realised what he had done, the Baron stabbed himself with the same knife and died. Since then, he is one of the ghosts that haunts Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the ghost of Slytherin house. Covered in Helena Ravenclaw's blood to this day, he earned himself the moniker of the "Bloody Baron".

Revolver Reviews
A revolver is a repeating firearm that has a cylinder containing multiple chambers and at least one barrel for firing. As the user cocks the hammer, the cylinder revolves to align the next chamber and round with the hammer and barrel, which gives this type of firearm its name. In modern revolvers, the revolving cylinder typically chambers 5 or 6 rounds, but some models hold 10 rounds or more. Revolvers are most often handguns, but other weapons may also have the design of a revolver. These include some models of grenade launchers, shotguns, and some rifles.

Jessie's Woobat
this wiki
Jessie's Woobat is one of Jessie's Pokémon that was captured off screen. It was revealed that Jessie caught it in a cave swarming with Woobat as per Giovanni's order to capture new Pokémon only from the Unova region so they won't attract too much attention. It defeated Ash's Pidove, but fell to Ash's Oshawott's Water Gun. It reappeared in Dreams by the Yard Full! where Jessie sends it out again to help them escape.
In Scare at the Litwick Mansion!, where it and James' Yamask team up with Ash's Oshawott and Cilan's Pansage to defeat the four evil Litwik and their Lampet leader. In The Dragon Master's Path!, it teamed up with James' Yamask to take down Emmy's Druddigon and Iris' Axew after they escaped. Jessie was impressed by Druddigon's Draco Meteor (even though it knocked out Yamask), and attacked it with Gust, but it fell to Ash's Pikachu's Electro Ball.
In Crisis at Chargestone Cave!, Woobat is used to battle Ash's Pikachu, Bianca's Minccino, and Cilan's Dwebble, alongside Yamsk. After they unleash their Gust/Night Shade combo, Pikachu and Minccino hit Yamask with Thunderbolt and Swift, while Woobat continued to use Gust on Dwebble, who is blown back. Dwebble tries to fight against the wind, and evolves into a Crustle. With it's newfound power, it intercepts Woobat's strongest attack, Air Slash with an even stronger Rock Wrecker, which forces them to retreat.
In A Restoration Confrontation! (Part 1), Woobat battles against a Tirtouga that has escaped from their helicopter. In the second part, it had to face off against Cilan's Pansage and Ash's Pikachu in order to steal the newly evolved Carrcosta and steal the Pokemon in the time gate. Their plans are foiled, and they are forced to leave.
Woobat was used frequently in Team Rocket's Unova operation in the original Black & White series as well as Rival Destinies, as it was Jessie's only Pokemon. As a result, it became very strong from battles against Ash and his friends.
After their defeat in the Rival Destinies season finale, where they retreat back to Kanto, Jessie caught a Frillish, while James caught an Amoonguss. Unlike Yamsk, who has been completley replaced by Amoongus, Woobat was still used, even after Jessie captured Frillish, and its main position on her team was quickly restored, as Frillish was literally, used 3 times, 2 of which were before Woobats Adventure in Unova debut.
It made its Adventures in Unova debut in The Light of Floccesy Ranch!, where it battled Ellie's Amphordos in an attept to steal her Marreep. It damaged Amphordos heavily with Air Slash, and then put them on the ropes with Gust. Amphardos sent out a distress signal, which helped Ellie, Ash, Cilan, and Iris to find them. Ash sends out Snivy to even the score, and stops the Gust assault with an attack from behind with Leaf Blade. After eliminating Iris' Dragonite with Air Slash & Amoongus' Hidden Power, Woobat focuses its gust on Snivy. Amphardos finally musters all of his strength, and defeats Woobat and Amoongus with ThunderPunch, which sends Team Rocket blasting off.
It was also used to fight off Team Plasma's controlled Pokemon in BW124.

Featured articles nominations
The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best that the Harry Potter Wiki has to offer. This is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, houses, or the like.
An article must…
- Be well-written and detailed.
- Be unbiased, non-point of view.
- Be sourced with all available sources and appearances.
- Follow the Layout Guide and all other policies on the Harry Potter Wiki.
- Following the review process, be stable, i.e. it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars. This does not apply to vandalism and protection or semi-protection as a result of vandalism.
- Not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc).
- Have a proper lead that gives a good summary of the topic and can be used for the front page featured box.
- Have significant information from all sources and appearances, especially a biography for character articles.
- Be completely referenced for all available material and sources.
- Have all quotes and images sourced.
- Provide at least one quote on the article. A leading quote at the beginning of the article will be required only if there is quotable dialogue by or about the subject. Although quotes may be placed in the body of the article, a maximum of one quote is allowed at the beginning of each section.
- Include a "personality and traits" section on all character articles.
- Include a "magical skills and abilities" section on all relevant character articles, especially for Wizard characters where said powers and/or abilities are stipulated.
- Include a reasonable number of images of sufficient quality to illustrate the article, if said images are available.
- Pass review by the Department of Mysteries review panel.
How to nominate:
- First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
- Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organisation, images, notability, sources).
- Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
- The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
- Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 2 Unspeakable supports and no objections (or the objections have been stricken or overridden), it will be added to the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article."
- Be sure to place sign in the "Nominated by" line when the nomination is posted for voting.
How to vote:
- Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
- Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
- If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
- As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors. Do not strike other users' objections; it is up to the objector to review the changes and strike if they are satisfied.
- Once an article has a total of five votes, with at least two votes coming from Unspeakables and no outstanding objections after at least a week, the article will be added to the list and be officially known as a "featured article."
- No nominator may vote for their own nominations.
Also remember to add {{F.A. Nomination}} at the top of the article you are nominating.
Every two weeks, the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the Main Page as featured, marked with the {{FA}} template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the {{Featured article}} template. Nominations that are inactive with outstanding objections for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list by the Unspeakables.
Featured article nominations
Charlatan (Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump)
- Nominator: GingerEdit817
- Nomination comments:
(0 Unspeakables/2 Users/1 Total)
- At this point, I believe that the article is, at present, the best that it can be. As its healer on Project Wizard Tales, I have tried time and again to make it look better than it is, but it simply can not be done. I therefore think that this article is worthy of being a Featured Article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GingerEdit817 (talk • contribs).
- This Article was almost perfect when I got to it, with the one mistake that the Charlatan believes that Babitty is a Tree. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by davinfelth (talk • contribs).
- The article contains some sections that are not the same as others of the same sort in better articles. Namely, the Personality and Traits section is set up as a list, while on other pages, it is in paragraph format. Also, one quote is attributed to the Charlatan, while it is not, in truth, a quote at all, but a piece of narrative from the story. --Parodist 22:49, September 22, 2009 (UTC)#*
- Fixed both problems. Quidditch Lover (My talk)(contribs) 23:34, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
- The text of the article contains grammatical errors, and lapses between present and past tense, particularly in "Instructor of Magic." The "Relationships" and "Personality and traits" sections consist of repetitions of content from earlier in the article. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 23:27, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
- I think I've fixed most of the errors. QuidditchLover(My talk)(contribs) 05:37, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
- Some preliminary objections:
- To start off, you have to reference everything (except the intro). This means every field in the infobox, and reference where you got each pice of information from.
- You also have a lot of tense shift which is awkward. Try making sure it is all in past tense, rather than changing mid-sentence.
- Try to clean up the linking. You don't need to link to the same article so many times in one article like you have with Babbitty. Try to keep it down to linking to an article once in the intro and once the body.
- I'd say just try to read it out loud to yourself and see how many of the sentences sound. There is a lot of grammatical errors in it, and reading it aloud can really make them easier to find :-).
- Grunny (Talk) 03:50, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
- Too many mistakes.--L.V.K.T.V.J.'(Send an owl!) 18:36, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Not worth it. HarryPotter512 21:32, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Be the Evidence Project Talks Tipping Points
Contact: Joanna Klimaski
(212) 636-7175
Kate Kendell presents her talk, "What a Tipping Point Looks Like: LGBTQ Rights and Future."
Photo by Joanna Klimaski
First the marginalized come forward. Then their families, friends, and allies join.
But in all civil rights movements, it is when the unlikely allies step forward that a tipping point is reached.
On June 18, Fordham's
Be the Evidence Project
(BTEP) held "What a Tipping Point Looks Like: LGBTQ Rights and Future," featuring Kate Kendell, attorney and executive director the National Center for Lesbian Rights. The talk was the latest installment of BTEP's town hall speaker series.
In terms of rights and advocacy for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals, Kendell said, the country has reached that tipping point.
"Every civil rights movement has had the same trajectory," Kendell said. "No marginalized group can do it by itself, because it's not big enough. You need allies. But the moment that's critical to the tipping point is when you get
allies—the people you didn't expect to show up for you."
For the LGBT community, she said, those people showed up in the form of President Obama, who voiced his support of LGBT rights prior to the November election, and Ted Olson, who along with David Boies made a federal constitutional challenge to California's Proposition 8.
"That's how we hit the tipping point… People understood our humanity," she said. "I've never seen, nor could I have imagined the time that we're in right now—this sort of 'best of times' place for the LGBT community."
Contributing to the "best of times" was the fact that while Kendell was presenting her talk at Fordham's Lincoln Center campus, 230 miles away the United States Supreme Court was deliberating the constitutionality of Prop 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which restricts federal marriage recognition and benefits to opposite-sex couples.
Kendell said she is optimistic for LGBT rights and advocacy. But she cautioned that even a favorable outcome for the LGBT community does not mean that advocacy is no longer needed.
"There's no doubt we're in a 'best of times' moment, but we're still very much in a difficult time, especially for those who are poor, of color, or live in a rural area," she said. "The tipping point is not the same as the end. There's a long, long descent before you come to the end.
"I hope that every ally—unlikely or not—will look around and say, 'Who's not with us? Who's being left behind?' and then show up for the rest of the community. Because we're only here now because other people looked around and said that same thing for us."
Responding to Kendell's talk was a panel of social workers, mental health professionals, and LGBT advocates, including:
Tina Maschi
, Ph.D., assistant professor at the Graduate School of Social Service (GSS) and founder and executive director of BTEP;
Jo Rees
, Ph.D., assistant professor of social work at Long Island University, Brooklyn;
Eileen Klein
, Ph.D., assistant professor of social work at Ramapo College;
Derek Brown
, Ph.D., assistant dean of admissions at GSS; and
Jacwynne Danee Sergeant
, an M.S.W. student at GSS researching LGBT youth and mental health.
The panelists remarked that setbacks along the way have made efforts to advocate for the LGBT community seem, at times, an endless struggle.
"It was only in 1973 that psychiatry considered homosexuality a mental illness," Klein said. "So as much as it seems like things are moving fast, it also sometimes seems like things are plodding along. There are many bumps in the road."
But when progress seems slow, it is important to remember that small efforts count as much as large ones, Maschi said.
"There are macro-level interventions, such as developing laws and policies sensitive to LGBT and other socially-disadvantaged groups, but the power of micro-interventions on a personal level should not be underestimated," she said.
"The way we communicate with one another while working toward a larger change does make a difference, and to me that is something achievable, that's something we can start doing right now."
A video of the event is posted on the National Organization of Forensic Social Work's
BTEP, run out of the
Graduate School of Social Service
, is intended to create awareness of human rights and social justice issues through research, advocacy, and education. Its town hall speaker series highlights important social issues in order to bring them to the awareness of the University and local community.

Disaster Assistance
Recovering from a disaster is a gradual process. Safety is a primary issue, as are mental and physical well-being.
Disaster assistance is money or direct assistance to individuals, families and businesses whose property has been damaged or destroyed and whose losses are not covered by insurance. It is meant to help you with critical expenses that cannot be covered in other ways. This assistance is not intended to restore your damaged property to its condition before the disaster.
Providing Disaster Assistance
DHS/FEMA may assist you with:
- Temporary Housing (a place to live for a limited period of time): Money is available to rent a place to live, or a government provided housing unit when rental properties are not available.
- Repair: Money is available to homeowners to repair damage from the disaster to their primary residence that is not covered by insurance. The goal is to make the damaged home safe, sanitary, and functional.
- Replacement: Money is available to homeowners to replace their home destroyed in the disaster that is not covered by insurance. The goal is to help the homeowner with the cost of replacing their destroyed home.
- Permanent Housing Construction: Direct assistance or money for the construction of a home. This type of help occurs only in insular areas or remote locations specified by FEMA, where no other type of housing assistance is possible.
- Other Needs: Disaster-related medical, dental, funeral, and burial costs; fuels for a primary heat source; clothing and household items; tools required for your job; and necessary educational materials.
Applying for Assistance
If you have losses in a presidentially-declared disaster area, you may apply for disaster assistance online at DisasterAssistance.gov, or over the phone through the FEMA Helpline:
- 711 or VRS 1-800-621-3362
On DisasterAssistance.gov, you can answer an anonymous questionnaire to determine forms of assistance you may qualify for. You can also find other disaster-related information and resources.

A young Chihuahua is out the hospital and in a foster home, thanks to a life-saving surgery.
Ariel is one of five chihuahuas found in a barn last month. Young-Williams took them in and found Ariel was suffering from a heart murmur and needed surgery.
Young-Williams used donated money from the Animal Compassion Fund to pay for the life-saving procedure at UT veterinary hospital.
Ariel got out of surgery Wednesday and is doing fine.
"It's a great success for an animal that in the past would have been euthanized or put down because the nature of her heart murmur was so severe," said Jeff Ashin, CEO of Young-Williams Animal Center.
Ariel is staying with a foster family until she fully recovers. Then, she'll be ready for adoption.

2006 turned out to be TERRIFIC year on the waters. As we closed last year, there was a small element of worry from those "old resorters" who have seen Teal and Lost Land Lakes through the years (Tim Ross, on Teal Lake and Dick Thearin, Northland Lodge on Lost land Lake, who grew up together on these lakes). However, 2006 blew all worries away……
THE COUNT IS UP of musky 34" or larger, way up; the bass fishing was terrific; the walleye were even there for those who like to accommodate to the walleye's new dinner hour (evenings!), the crappie reported for the Crappie-a-thon were up. And to make it better yet, we would normally have blamed the fishing on bad weather (too hot, mostly, and late turning in the fall!) – but nobody blamed anything on anybody because the fishing was super.
85 legal musky from these lakes were recorded in 2006 on our chart here on Teal Lake (a rise of 64% from last year) The results were similar on Lost Land Lake. The average size was up just a squeak, 38.0", from 37.8" last year – can we dream of an average of 40" next year?
FALL FISHING was a delight with the old pattern returning of great Fall fishing. September was grand, with 20 musky over 34" and 8 of those over 40". The season ended with some splendid fish (and splendid fishing days) in late October and November, the last being 46" but he earned that last fish in the icy conditions!
HOMETOWN is always an interesting question, but in getting our chart typed up, and on the web for you all to check, we were struck by the distribution of the hometowns of our fishermen. (Yes, the fishermen, not the fish!)
Even in 2006, the year of astronomically high gas prices to get to Teal Lake, 38% were still from Illinois. Last year 48% were from Illinois, and both years had 9 states listed as hometown. We are delighted to know that Teal Lake is still worth traveling to, and is still giving such vacationing pleasure to people from so far.
The big DNR meeting in June for fishing input and future goals was a strange day: All interested in the Quiet Lakes were invited to participate, and they did get a good mix. However, the conclusion was also good: it was "Please don't change a thing – we like our lake the way it is, and the population of our fish the way it is. A few more big walleye might be nice, but otherwise, please don't diddle with it".

When I was little, my dad used to make these neat paper balloons for us to play with. He taught me how to do it in about 5 minutes when I was 10 or so. Since then I've always been able to impress the kids (My own and those of my friends.) with this little feat, although, I've never succeeded in teaching others how it's done.
Hopefully this tutorial will show others how to easily impress their friends and kids. It's actually very easy, but until you've made two or three, it won't seem that way. The most important thing to remember is that every step after the third has to be repeated four times and the folds should be as exact as you can do.
Tools? There are none. Only your hands and a sheet of paper. This also makes it more impressive when the kids watch you make it. It's almost like a magic act. If your paper isn't square to begin with, you'll do a little tearing in step 2. While you could use scissors, it would take away from the performance.
I've created a printout that should help you the first couple of times. This printout covers an entire 8.5 x 11 sheet and should be printed with a printer that can print to the edge of a standard sheet of paper. My Epson printer does this nicely. Don't try to get the folds to match up exactly with the lines. It's more important that the folds be in the exact centers. Remember that it's most impressive when you can perform the process with a blank sheet of paper. Almost any size will do.

Is there any way to have the lock-screen unlock as soon as I enter the correct code? For instance, on my iPod touch if I type the 4 digit passcode, it'll unlock as soon as I hit that fourth digit. Is there any equivalent of this on Android? On my Droid X2, I have to enter the PIN and then hit the arrow-like return button.
No, because unlike the iphone/ipod touch, the unlock PIN can be longer then 4 digits. Android allows between 4 and 16 digits for the lock screen. Since it is "unknown" what the length of your pin is, you have to press OK to indicate "you are done".
Some of the alternate lock types unlock immediately.
The built-in Android pattern lock, where you do a "join the dots" between the nine dots displayed on the screen unlocks immediately your finger lifts off the screen (presuming that you've got the pattern right).
Handcent SMS has a lockscreen with PIN input that also has similar functionality. Entering the correct code auto unlocks when the last correct digit is entered without the need to press OK.
The Cyanogenmod (checked in CM10) lock screen also allows to unlock as soon as you enter the correct code.
