Hong Kong's population has increased steadily over the past decade, reaching about 6.92 million in 2007. Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with an overall density of some 6,250 people per square kilometer. Cantonese, the official Chinese language in Hong Kong, is spoken by most of the population. English, also an official language, is widely understood, being spoken by more than one-third of the population. Every major religion is practiced freely in Hong Kong. All children are required by law to be in full-time education between the ages of 6 and 15. Preschool education for most children begins at age 3. Primary school begins normally at the age of 6 and lasts for 6 years. At about age 12, children progress to a 3-year course of junior secondary education. Most stay on for a 2-year senior secondary course, while others join full-time vocational training. More than 90% of children complete upper secondary education or equivalent vocational education.
According to archaeological studies, human activity on Hong Kong dates back over five millennia. Excavated neolithic artifacts suggest an influence from northern Chinese stone-age cultures. The territory was settled by Han Chinese during the seventh century, A.D., evidenced by the discovery of an ancient tomb at Lei Cheung Uk in Kowloon. The first major migration from northern China to Hong Kong occurred during the Sung Dynasty (960-1279). The British East India Company made the first successful sea venture to China in 1699, and Hong Kong's trade with British merchants developed rapidly soon after. After the Chinese defeat in the First Opium War (1839-42), Hong Kong was ceded to Britain in 1842 under the Treaty of Nanking. Britain was granted a perpetual lease on the Kowloon Peninsula under the 1860 Convention of Beijing, which formally ended hostilities in the Second Opium War (1856-58). The United Kingdom, concerned that Hong Kong could not be defended unless surrounding areas also were under British control, executed a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898, significantly expanding the size of the Hong Kong colony.
In the late 19th century and early 20th centuries, Hong Kong developed as a warehousing and distribution center for U.K. trade with southern China. After the end of World War II and the communist takeover of Mainland China in 1949, hundreds of thousands of people fled from China to Hong Kong. Hong Kong became an economic success and a manufacturing, commercial, finance, and tourism center. High life expectancy, literacy, per capita income, and other socioeconomic measures attest to Hong Kong's achievements over the last five decades.
On July 1, 1997, China resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong, ending more than 150 years of British colonial rule. Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China with a high degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign and defense affairs. According to the Sino-British Joint Declaration (1984) and the Basic Law, Hong Kong will retain its political, economic, and judicial systems and unique way of life for 50 years after reversion and will continue to participate in international agreements and organizations under the name, "Hong Kong, China."
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) is headed by Chief Executive Donald Tsang, who first took office in 2005 and whose current term ends in 2012. The Election Committee that votes on the Chief Executive (CE) is made up of approximately 800 Hong Kong residents from four constituency groups: commercial, industrial, and financial interests; professionals; labor, social services, and religious interests; and the legislature, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the P.R.C. National People's Congress.
In December 2006, pro-democracy Civic Party legislator Alan Leong garnered 134 nominations from the Election Committee, enabling Leong to challenge incumbent CE Tsang's bid for a new five-year term in 2007. Tsang, with solid support from the pro-government and pro-business sectors, won the March 25, 2007 Election Committee vote with 649 of the 795 votes. Leong garnered 123 votes.
In July 2002, the Hong Kong Government implemented the Principal Officials Accountability System, which was designed to make the government more responsive to public concerns. Twelve political appointees, directly responsible to the Chief Executive, run the 12 policy bureaus. Three other senior civil service positions--the Chief Secretary, Financial Secretary, and Justice Secretary--are also filled by political appointments.
While Hong Kong remains a free and open society where human rights are respected, courts are independent, and there is well-established respect for the rule of law, residents are limited in their ability to change their government, and the legislature is limited in its power to affect government policies. The September 12, 2004 Legislative Council (Legco) elections were seen as generally free, open, and widely contested, although Hong Kong groups have alleged voter intimidation, manipulation, or pressure in connection with them.
In December 2005 the Legco rejected a Hong Kong Government-proposed package of incremental reforms to the mechanisms for choosing the CE in 2007 and forming the Legco in 2008. In July 2007, the Hong Kong Government's Commission on Strategic Development issued a Green Paper on Constitutional Development, which set out a myriad of options to reform the CE and Legco electoral mechanisms, with the "ultimate aim" of universal suffrage as prescribed by the Basic Law.
On December 12, 2007, Chief Executive Donald Tsang submitted a report on the Green Paper to the central government. The report said more than half of local people wanted universal suffrage by 2012, but 2017 might be a more realistic date. In December 2007, the P.R.C. National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) issued a decision on Hong Kong's constitutional development which, while ruling out universal suffrage in 2012, appears to open the way for Hong Kong to achieve full universal suffrage for the CE in 2017, and full universal suffrage for Legco sometime thereafter. Any amendments to the Basic Law will require approval by the CE, at least two-thirds of Legco, and then the NPCSC.

Hong Kong is one of the world's most open and dynamic economies. Hong Kong per capita GDP is comparable to other developed countries. Real GDP expanded by 6.8% in 2006 year-on-year, driven by thriving exports, vibrant inbound tourism and strong consumer spending. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused the Hong Kong economy to shrink during the first half of 2003, and property prices had fallen 66% from their late 1997 peak, but have since rebounded by about 84% from that lower base. The unemployment rate declined to 3.6% in September-November 2007, the lowest level since mid-1998. The surplus for fiscal year 2007-08 was $7.5 billion or 4.0% of GDP, attributed to the robust economy, increased corporate profits and salaries, the buoyant stock market, and a stable property market.
Hong Kong enjoys a number of economic strengths, including accumulated public and private wealth from decades of unprecedented growth, a sound banking system, virtually no public debt, a strong legal system, and an able and rigorously enforced anti-corruption regime. The need for economic restructuring poses difficult challenges and choices for the government. Hong Kong is endeavoring to improve its attractiveness as a commercial and trading center, especially after China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), and continues to refine its financial architecture. The government is deepening its economic interaction with the Pearl River Delta in an effort to maintain Hong Kong's position as a gateway to China. These efforts include the conclusion of a free trade agreement with China, the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA), which applies zero tariffs to all Hong Kong-origin goods and preferential treatment in 27 service sectors. Hong Kong, along with the Macau SAR, is also participating in a new pan-Pearl River Delta trade block with nine Chinese provinces, which aims to lower trade barriers among members, standardize regulations, and improve infrastructure. U.S. companies have a generally favorable view of Hong Kong's business environment, including its legal system and the free flow of information, low taxation, and infrastructure. The American Chamber of Commerce's annual business confidence survey, released in December 2007, showed 99% of respondents had a "good" or "satisfactory" outlook for 2008. Survey results indicated a positive economic outlook through 2010.
On the international front, Hong Kong is a separate and active member of the WTO and the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, where it is an articulate and effective champion of free markets and the reduction of trade barriers. Hong Kong residents across the political spectrum supported China's accession to the WTO, believing this would open new opportunities on the mainland for local firms and stabilize relations between Hong Kong's two most important trade and investment partners, the United States and China.
Hong Kong's foreign relations and defense are the responsibility of China. Hong Kong is an independent customs territory and economic entity separate from the rest of China and is able to enter into international agreements on its own behalf in commercial and economic matters. Hong Kong, independently of China, participates as a full member of numerous international economic organizations including the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC), and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
U.S. policy toward Hong Kong, grounded in a determination to promote Hong Kong's prosperity, autonomy, and way of life, is stated in the U.S.-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992. The United States maintains substantial economic and political interests in Hong Kong. The United States supports Hong Kong's autonomy by concluding and implementing bilateral agreements; promoting trade and investment; arranging high-level visits; broadening law enforcement cooperation; bolstering educational, academic, and cultural links; and supporting the large community of U.S. citizens and visitors.
Hong Kong is an active member of the global coalition against terrorism. Hong Kong has joined the Container Security Initiative and remains an important partner with regard to eliminating funding for terrorist networks and combating money laundering. Hong Kong has passed legislation designed to bring Hong Kong into compliance with applicable UN anti-terror resolutions and Financial Action Task Force recommendations.
The United States has substantial economic and social ties with Hong Kong. There are some 1,100 U.S. firms, including 881 regional operations (298 regional headquarters and 593 regional offices), and about 54,000 American residents in Hong Kong. According to U.S. Government statistics, U.S. exports to Hong Kong totaled $17.8 billion in 2006. U.S. direct investment in Hong Kong at the end of 2006 totaled about $38.1 billion, making the United States one of Hong Kong's largest investors, along with China, Japan, and the Netherlands.
The United States and Hong Kong signed a civil aviation agreement in October 2002, which significantly liberalized the aviation market. Hong Kong enjoys a high degree of autonomy as a separate customs territory, with no changes to borders, staffing, or technology export controls since the 1997 handover. Intellectual property rights (IPR) protection has improved substantially in recent years and the introduction of effective new legislation to control illicit production and improved enforcement has now made Hong Kong a regional model for effective IPR protection. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and other U.S. agencies now regularly cite Hong Kong as an example for others.

Here is the presentation I gave to the Open education forum at the Berkman Center at Harvard - it was a very short overview of Flat Classroom and designed to make the point about creating symbiotic learning relationships. Students don't consume to learn - thinking you can make a video and "teach" is pretty preposterous. This talks about pulling people into your network and how to get them there. Again, it was very short and then a panel discussion afterwards.
In 3 weeks I'll be heading to the Berkman center for an Open Education Grantee meeting as a person who provides feedback to the grantees. I'm very excited to meet many of the people who have been invited but also to learn and soak in (and share) everything. With the people who will gather, certainly, there will be an impact on the open education movement.
An excellent website listing resources for the open education movement. This wiki has a lot of information and is a helpful place to familiarize yourself with Open Education and the benefits. Professionals in higher education definitely need to explore and make this part of their PD. These professionals also need to understand how to contribute to open education research as well.
My ninth graders have completed a module documenting how to do various tasks in OpenSim, the virtual world we use that is hosted by Reactiongrid. This wiki has the links, instructions, and other pages with tutorials on how to do various items. I was assessing this today and thought I'd pass it along as there is some great information to show you how to do things. (If you are a beginning second lifer you may also learn some things.)
Very nice listing of open education resources for those of you looking for opencourseware. How long till schools start using these sites as their curriculum?

This incredible article will challenge your thinking about the open content movement and where the Net as a whole is heading. A Great read for anyone interested in the Internet.
History is hard to know, because of all the hired lies, but even without being sure of "history" it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a moment comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really understands at the time—and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened.
It's premature to publish an obituary for openness in educational technology just yet. But it's also foolish to assume there will be a happy ending to this story.
At that time, it was widely assumed that serious online learning had to happen inside a designated learning management system, a closed and tightly controlled environment that was effectively cut off from the rest of the web
First, the most common objection to a wider adoption of many popular Web 2.0 tools surrounds the implications for privacy.11 Facebook's long-standing and ongoing bait-and-switch tactics with users' data have been well-documented.12
their business model is predicated on advertising.
"You are not Facebook's customer. You are the product that they sell to their real customers—advertisers. Forget this at your peril."14
Unfortunately, this automated system has difficulty discerning between instances of piracy and instances of commentary that exercise fair use rights.
A lecture by the noted copyright lawyer and activist Lawrence Lessig, containing snippets of copyrighted material (themselves intended to demonstrate examples of fair use), was also silenced when it was targeted by Content ID.1
If prominently engaged and informed users such as the Critical Commons and Lawrence Lessig can see their rights as producers be disregarded by the invisible hand of automated corporate censorship, what sort of treatment might we expect for instructors and students?
We strongly believe that higher education should embrace a mission to create, cultivate, and promote "safe spaces" that are not only open but also free from overtly commercialized interests. Educators are currently at a crossroads. The choices we make now will decide what sort of online environment will be available in the future.
This is is a very important study from the U.K. and Office of Standards in Education in 2009 entitled "The Safe use of new technologies" showed that where provision for e-safety was outstanding all used 'managed'
systems to help pupils to become safe and responsible users of new technologies."

If you want to visit Bhutan, chances are you'll have to fly into Paro, the only international airport in the country. "Anywhere where there's mountainous terrain there's a challenge," says Captain Sitarz. And Paro is no exception. Soaring through 16,000-foot Himalayan Mountains with whipping winds gets your adrenaline pumping as you approach the 6,050-foot runway, located in a deep, tree-lined valley. According to the website of Drukair, the only airline serving Paro, "each flight is a mesmerizing aeronautical feat and offers an exciting descent into the kingdom." But fear not: Pilots are specially trained to fly into Bhutan, and accessing the airport is entirely dependent on good weather conditions.
Have you ever landed in a valley, or had to weave through mountains to get to the runway? Share your experiences!

- Dove Valley Days: One fan's sign of displeasure
Wednesday's highlight:
The Broncos continue to show some progress in their rookie class with safety Darcel McBath and cornerback Alphonso Smith — both second-round picks this past April — having lined up with the starting defense Wednesday morning to fill in for veterans Champ Bailey and Brian Dawkins. Bailey was given the morning off while Dawkins, who has been practicing with a cast on his fractured right hand has only participated in one practice each time the Broncos have held two-a-days since he returned to the field. Smith has also taken plenty of snaps as the Broncos nickel corner - the fifth defensive back — while McBath overtook fellow rookie David Bruton on the depth chart to line up as Dawkins' backup.
Lowlight of the day:
Everybody's coy at the moment, but wide receiver Brandon Marshall spent much of Wednesday on the scout team — wearing a red jersey with No. 84 — as he ran plays impersonating Seattle wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Marshall implied it was his call to run those plays because he wants to work against the Broncos defensive regulars while head coach Josh McDaniels said every players takes scout team repetitions in practice. All in all, it's adding up to a disgruntled player and a team that clearly is trying to make a point. Eddie Royal, Jabar Gaffney and Chad Jackson were in the starting offense when the team went to a three-wide look while Gaffney, rookie Kenny McKinley and Jackson lined up with the second-team offense in the three-wide look in many of the team drills.
Position battle:
It's fairly moot at this point since Marshall has yet been put into the mix, but there is an intriguing choice in the wide receiver spot.
Especially since most pro personnel executives who have look at the Broncos believe the best place to play either Jabar Gaffney or Brandon Stokley in the new offense is at the slot position. Both have been two of the real impact players on offense thus far in training camp and both, given what they have shown on the field, have the skill sets that are likely best suited to playing in the slot — the space between the outside receiver and either the tight end or tackle in a three wide receiver look.
Gaffney has worked most of the time in an outside position thus far with Marshall's drop down the depth chart and Stokley has played significantly on the outside in 2007 when the team had some injuries.
But both will do their best work on the inside, which could make the Broncos' four-wide look more of a possibility because they then are playing their best positions at the same time.
Camp facts:
The Broncos were scheduled to practice twice at their Dove Valley complex Wednesday with the evening workout set to begin at 5:30. Thursday the team is scheduled for its final practices of training camp open to the public. The team is currently slated to be on the field 8:45-10:45 a.m. as well as 5:30-7:30 p.m.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have had no shortage of suitors for Kevin Love, who told the team about a month ago that he would not be signing an extension with them when his contract expires after this season.
With the NBA Draft just six days away, trade talks have been heating up as teams focus in on which players they would like to target. This likewise means that the Love talks have intensified, and it appears that the Timberwolves have focused in on a potential deal with the Golden State Warriors that would send Love west.
In the trade, the Warriors would send Klay Thompson and David Lee to the Timberwolves in exchange for Love and Kevin Martin. ESPN is reporting that one of the sticking points in the negotiations is the inclusion of a future first round pick, which Golden State is hesitant to give up at this time. The Timberwolves are also said to be interested in Harrison Barnes, although Thompson is likely their preferred choice.
The Denver Nuggets recently got themselves into the mix, offering Kenneth Faried, Wilson Chandler and the No. 11 pick for Love and Martin. One of the issues there is that it's unclear if Love would sign a long-term deal with the Nuggets, which is an assurance every team wants before making the move.
The Boston Celtics have the most assets in terms of picks, with the No. 6 and No. 17 pick in this year's draft as well as multiple first round selections in three of the next four drafts. However, the best players they can offer Minnesota are Jeff Green, Kelly Olynyk, and Jared Sullinger. Minnesota is said to want both picks and players that can help them win now, which will make it likely that Boston would have to pull a third team into the deal if they are to make it happen.
For now, the Chicago Bulls appear to be focusing their efforts on Carmelo Anthony, and have not done much on the Love trade front. Depending on what Melo decides, though, the Bulls could very well become players in the Love sweepstakes before all is said and done.
With so many parties involved and so many moving pieces, this situation is incredibly fluid. Superstar players don't become available often, and teams will do whatever they can to bring Love to their franchise. Deals can come together very quickly, so stay tuned.

I've been using these goggles twice a week for my hour long swim practices. They are comfortable and economical. I usually opt for a larger socket sized goggle (one that sits totally outside the eye socket) but decided to try something a bit smaller. I am very happy with the fit and feel of this style. They sit just on the rim of the orbital bone.

Things That Make You Go Hmmm …
I'd like to give my new love the hardly used vibrator of my deceased wife. That cool?
Dear Trying,
"We can't afford that" should be a standard part of the parental vocabulary; it's not an example of child abuse. In trying to protect your son from the difficult realities of his circumstances, you have surely left him more anxious and confused. His father's gone and isn't even helping raise him financially. You try to act as if everything is fine, but then tell him there's not going to be milk for the cereal until the end of the week. Your son deserves the truth, told carefully and sensitively. Explain to him that because you're living on a single income, and you don't get paid a lot, money is tight. Fortunately, you have a good job, a home, and you're both going to be OK. But you two need to live on a strict budget. That means you can't buy some of things for him his friends have, and restaurants are for very special treats. Then tell him you two are going to work as a team. Have him grocery shop with you and keep track of what you're spending—that will be good for his math skills. At home make cheap, delicious meals together—learning to cook will be another excellent life skill. Enroll him in free activities; for example see if there's a nearby Boys & Girls Club. Look into all the services that are available to you: food stamps, food banks, subsidized meals at school, etc. Convey to him that living within your means does not mean deprivation, but the comfort in knowing that what you have, you can pay for.
Dear Prudence,
I am an American female by birth and my husband is from a conservative Asian country. His relatives recently moved to the U.S. and visit our home, and we theirs, frequently. My husband and I live an Americanized lifestyle, but I try to respect the cultural differences between us and his family. One problem is proper female attire. My in-laws believe a woman's clothes should cover everything except forearms. When my husband and I visit their home I try to wear their cultural dress or baggy clothes of my own. But how much I should change my style when they are visiting our home? Once when they came in the summer I wore a skirt and T-shirt and they looked at me in shock. Am I rude not to change my clothing style for my conservative family guests?
—Foreign Fashion Faux Pas
Dear Faux,
As summer draws near and shorts, tanks tops, halters, and flip-flops become de rigueur on city streets, your in-laws are going to be dropping not from the heat but from the sights. They are in America now. If they don't like how Americans dress, they are just a plane ride away from a place where they are more comfortable with the sartorial standards. I agree with you about the distinction between your visiting their home, and their visiting yours. But in an effort to be overly accommodating, you are giving them the wrong idea about who you are when you appear at their door in their typical garb. It's respectful to dress more conservatively in their home, but they need to get used to seeing you in your own clothing. When they visit you, wear what you would if you were entertaining any older guest. So in the summer that means a T-shirt and skirt is just fine. Joining their family and respecting their culture is not the same as adopting it. There's no need for you to be defensive about dressing appropriately for American eyes.

When one of his teammates or one of his coaches puts Broncos linebacker Von Miller's name into a sentence, the word "special" usually isn't too far behind.
Miller will play his 25th NFL game Sunday and already finds himself in fairly rarefied air. Since the NFL designated sacks as an official statistic in 1982, Hall of Famer Derrick Thomas posted the most sacks in his first 25 games — 25 combined in 1989 and 1990.
Aldon Smith, who just played in his 25th game this past Sunday night, is next with 23 ½ sacks in his first 25 games, followed by Shawne Merriman, who had 22 ½ sacks in his first 25 games and Clay Matthews with 21 ½ sacks in his first 25 games.
Then there is Miller, who after 24 games — he missed one last season because of an injured thumb — is already tied with Matthews at 21 ½.
With two sacks against Philip Rivers, Miller could tie Smith. And with the first four-sack game of his career, he would lead the way.
And if he doesn't have a sack Sunday, he's still one of the league's most gifted young players. He has seven sacks in the last five games, including his first three-sack day of his career — Nov. 4 in Cincinnati.
Had it not been for the thumb injury last season, when Miller played the last four games of the regular season with a cast on his hand, there is a good chance Miller would already have passed Smith on the first-25 list and would be in Thomas' neighborhood.
"I was playing kind of one-handed," Miller said of the stretch run last season. "It was a hard. I still think I could have done some things better. But I always think I can do some things better."
Miller didn't have a sack in the last three games of the regular season in '11, had a sack in the playoff win against Pittsburgh, but then didn't have a tackle in the loss to the Patriots to close things out.
And for a linebacker, especially one with such a vast skill set, a shutout is the ugliest of things.
But in the eyes of personnel executives around the league who have watched him play this season, Miller is considered one of the NFL's most improved players. That's saying something given he had 11 ½ sacks as a rookie on the way to the Pro Bowl and the defensive rookie of the year award.
Sacks will always be the gauge for edge rushers like Miller, but his tackles for loss total may be even more impressive at this point. Miller leads the league with 21 tackles for loss and all six of his tackles against the Carolina Panthers last week were either for no gain or negative yardage.
To put that tackles for loss total into perspective, between 2000 and 2010, the Broncos' team leader in tackles for loss didn't finish with more than 14 in any season. Miller finished with 19 in 2011 to lead the team.
It shows Miller has improved his anticipation as a linebacker and his understanding of what offenses are trying to do in given situations and it's a testament to the team's defensive coaches who have found as many ways as possible to use Miller in the team's scheme.
But it's why Miller is in the discussion for the league's defensive player of the year award. And if he finishes the year with 18 sacks, he would not only break Elvis Dumervil's single-season record of 17 set in 2009, but Miller would also tie Simon Fletcher's two-year total of 29 ½ sacks in the 1992 and 1993 seasons combined — the highest two-year total in franchise history.
The fact Miller has done this in his first two years in the league is also cause for pause.

"I mean you look at it, he's just a young guy," said cornerback Champ Bailey. "If he continues to work, to learn, it's scary to think what he could be in his prime as a player."

A woman in Belgium says her son was in what some doctors thought was a vegetative state, but that he now says he was fully conscious for 23 years, and couldn't respond because he was paralyzed.
Doctors believed that a car accident left Rom Houben in a vegetative state, unable to understand what was going on around him. But after doctors at the University of Liege reevaluated his case, they discovered he was totally conscious. And during that time, he heard every word spoken near his hospital bed, but wasn't able to let people know.
Therapy has made him able to communicate with the help of a computer system. He has described the horror of screaming to doctors that he could hear them, without a sound ever coming out of his mouth.

Product Details
iSeries Navigator is a favorite tool of operators and administrators--who use it with great success--but many programmers have missed the great programming tools that iSeries Navigator provides! This book introduces you to iSeries Navigator along with all the powerful tools and interfaces that will expand your programming horizons.
As iSeries applications continue to move toward a graphical user interface, so does the development environment. Programs such as CODE and WDSC may fill the need for the programming environment, but iSeries Navigator fills the programmer's need for general system access as well as database management and development.
Starting with an introduction to the basics of iSeries Navigator--including how to perform standard day-to-day commands in Navigator as opposed to green screen--the book goes on to explain the advantages of Navigator over green-screen operations.
For the programmer, it is in the graphical interface to SQL's Data Definitionl Language (DDL) in Navigator that programmers will realize the most benefit from. And, as DDS for database is replaced by SQL's DDL, the importance of knowing iSeries Navigator will grow. Navigator also provides graphical equivalents of standard green-screen commands such as WRKSPLF, WRKSBMJOB, and DSPJOB, as well as graphical access to the Integrated File System.
To maximize your efficiencies as a programmer, you need to learn the intricacies of this interface. Join Paul Tuohy as he shows you the ins and outs of iSeries Navigator in a helpful, comprehensive, and entertaining way.
With The Programmer's Guide to iSeries Navigator, you will:
- Learn iSeries Navigator from a programmer's point of view
- Discover database features that are uniquely available with DDL
- Get a true GUI interface to the Database Navigator that far exceeds any green screen
- Use the Integrated File System (IFS) to access PCs from the iSeries
- Access the IFS to share directories-store program sources-and more
- Discover Navigator tools that simplify SQL coding
- Simplify the task of creating SQL tables in place of DDS-created physical files
- Improve the performance of your SQL statements with the Visual Explain tool
- Master the database feature of Navigator to create and maintain collections-tables-views-indexes-constraints-and functions

CHARLOTTE (WBTV) -- A fire displaced residents from 24 units at a Southeast Charlotte apartment complex Sunday morning, according to WBTV.
More than 70 firefighters from four companies responded to the alarm around 8:20 a.m.
First responders found heavy smoke and flames when they made it to the scene on Glendale Chase Ct. Firefighters got the flames under control after about an hour.
Capt. Robert Brisley of the Charlotte Fire Department said firefighters rescued a family from the top floor of the three-story building using a ladder.
Two firefighters were injured at the scene, but they've since been treated and released from the hospital.
Fire investigators are still looking into the cause of the fire that displaced several families.
Police and firefighters evacuated the entire 24-unit building. Red Cross volunteers are on the scene to assess damage and work with families to meet their individual needs.
While crews worked to contain the fire, a person drove their car over a set of fire hoses, causing them to burst; the impact also blew out one of the car's tires.
Police arrested and charged the driver with obstruction.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
An Automated Teller Machine or "ATM" is a devise designed to enable peoples compulsions. It was first conceived in 1946 by Benjamin "Buggsy" Siegel to allow patrons of his Las Vegas Flamingo Casino to divest themselves of their life savings, technology did not catch up to the concept until the early 1970's.
Seminal Moment
In March 1973, BankAmericard (Later known as Visa) was approached by NCR representatives to launch the "ATM" on the Bank of America Network. B of A and BankAmericard were first skeptical, but NCR had some great selling points.
B of A was worried that people would draw down their accounts and leave the bank with reduced assets. NCR countered that not only could B of A charge fees for allowing people access to their own money in deposit accounts but further could allow people to run up the balance on their BankAmericard, charge a large fee for this service and all without having to pay a live teller a thing. B of A ordered 4700 machines sight unseen.
Introduction into service
ATM's were first located at banking locations. With banking regulation still in place, Privately owned ATM's were still not available. This this saw the introduction of neighborhood branch banking. Often located in grocery stores where one or two tellers might be scheduled to work per week but the location was essentially intended to provide a place to set up an ATM.
ATM's took off like a rocket in the late 1980's with the deregulation of interstate banking. First Interstate Bank "FIB" was among the first banks to offer their network to private owners of ATM's as a clearing house for transactions.
The most evident result of this was the placement of ATM's in liquor stores, strip clubs and casinos. One of the largest networks of private ATM's was owned by Boyd Gaming of Las Vegas who could now provide casino patrons with cash on demand 24/7. Only a ruling by the Nevada Gaming Commission stopped Boyd Gaming from allowing slot machines from excepting ATM cards.
Business Growth attributed to 24 Hour Cash Access
Prostitution, Crack and powdered cocaine sales. Strip Clubs (See Cheetahs Gentleman's Club, Casino Gambling.
Organizations Lobbying for more ATM's
Vice has gained the most from the explosion of ATM locations. Below is a short list of campaign contributors and lobbying organizations.

_______ sat upright in bed, cold sweat dripping down the side of her face. Lightning flashed purple and the booming thunder followed. She sighed and threw off the silk covers, 'Just another damn nightmare', she thought and walked over to her balcony window. ______ loved storms, she loved rain, she loved pretty much anything wild and free. Being the princess and heir to the throne of England, she was expected to be everything but free. It was going to be her 19th birthday in a couple of days also meaning that her stepmother was going to marry her off to some suck up noble's son and bare children. She shuddered furiously, trying to shake that thought out of her mind.
_______ threw open the curtains to be greeted by the brightest flash of lightning and furious rain pounding on the glass, beckoning her to come outside. She looked down at herself. Wearing nothing but a sleeveless, short, cream, satin sleeping gown. Her (h/c) hair fell lazily to the small of her back and her big (e/c) eyes were almost hidden by her long lashes. ______ was pretty skinny and pale because she was rarely allowed outside the castle walls and she was starved since the king died, leaving her in the hands of her asshole stepmother/queen. At least she didn't have to wear a corset.
'No one will be awake at this time of night, I'll just step out on the balcony for a few minutes.' She thought, and let the double doors fly open. The curtains blew back furiously and the wind howled. _______ ran out and let the rain soak her clothes, her hair, grip to her lashes. She laughed with joy, was this what it was like to be free? Exhilarating? Shocking? God, how she wished her whole life felt like this.
Just then, _______ heard a bit of yelling at the castle gates. Three men with guns and lamps, stood outside cursing and calling a name that she couldn't hear. They didn't seem to notice her in the dark and in the next moment, they left. 'That's strange, maybe they were here to kill the queen. Ugh, you're luck isn't that good, _______ get over it.' She sighed and walked back in her room, closing the doors behind her.
"Are they gone?" A soothing voice behind her said. It scared _______ half to death, and she almost let out a scream, but a hand gently covered her mouth. She found herself staring into the most brilliant emerald eyes, covered slightly by wet blonde hair. The man, not much older than her, was extremely handsome, wearing black pants, and a loose white shirt, both soaked to the bone. _______ saw that the front of his shirt that covered his chest was all red and bloody. His breath was shaky and he was obviously hurting.
"I mean you no harm, I swear it." He whispered and after _______ didn't respond, he slowly removed his hand. She stared at him wide-eyed, but stayed silent.
"They're gone. Are you hurt?" _______ gestured to his bloody shirt and he looked down as if he didn't notice at first. A look of pain shot through his eyes and he collapsed to the floor with a groan.
"Oh my god! Here put your arm over my shoulder." She helped him to her bed, and took off his shirt. There was a huge gash going across his perfect muscles, blood still pouring out like an endless fountain. _______ covered her mouth in shock, and ran to get a bucket of water, washcloths, and her sewing kit. Cold sweat and rain water dripped from his blonde hair onto her pillow. His eyes were shut tight, enduring the pain. _______ ran back with the supplies and put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
"I'm going to sew the wound closed, alright? That's the only way the bleeding will stop." The man's eyes opened, and looked at her, and then closed again. 'I'll take that as a go 'head.' She thought to herself and got to work. He winced occasionally, but that was it. _______ had to hand it to herself, her stitching wasn't half bad. She dunked the washcloth in the bucket of water and wiped away the blood. The wound was tender, but at least the bleeding stopped.
_______ put away the supplies and looked back at the strange man in her bed. His breathing was still heavy and he was sweating. She placed her hand gently on his forehead, he was abnormally hot (in more ways than one ). The wound must have been infected before she tended to it. _______ sighed and brushed the man's wet hair from his face.
"You're burning up. I think you've got a fever." She whispered and wiped a cool cloth on his forehead. He nodded, still not opening his eyes. "What's your name?" _______ asked.
"Arthur. Kirkland." His voice was barely a whisper, and the words came out in gasps. _______ stared wide-eyed.
"Arthur Kirkland? The infamous pirate, Arthur Kirkland?" She gaped. He opened his emerald eyes, taking in her expression, and smiled weakly.
"Glad you've heard of me, love." He joked, still breathing heavily. _______ sighed. She couldn't make him leave, not in this state and if she turned him into the queen, he would be hanged before she could say Bitch.
"You'll stay here until the fever goes down. Then I suggest you leave before the queen finds out I'm helping pirate. She hates me enough already." She murmured the last part, and Arthur chuckled, though it hurt him.
"I'm guessing you're Princess _______ then. Your beauty exceeds your reputation, love." He said, still smiling. I have a reputation? I didn't know that people even knew I existed. _______ thought.
"You flatter me, Captain." She said bluntly and dabbed his forehead again. Arthur closed his eyes.
"Arthur. Only call me Captain in front of my crew." He corrected, and winced in pain. _______ shushed him.
"Okay, Arthur. You should get some sleep, it'll reduce the pain." She said and quietly sang a lullaby for him.
May you sail fair to the far fields of fortune
With diamond and pearls at your head unto your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guide you and keep safe from the harm
Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm
By the time she had finished that much of the song, Arthur was fast asleep. His breathing became calm and his heart rate slowed down to normal rate. _______ continued to keep him cool and hum the song softly. Arthur looked so peaceful to her that she almost forgot he was a pirate. She had to admit that he was one of the most handsome men she'd ever seen, though she hadn't seen many. 'Preserving your youthism for your husband's use', her stepmother said. 'Whatever that means' _______ thought bitterly, still observing the pirate. His fever started to go down and she decided to sleep for whatever hours she had left. _______ yawned and collapsed down right next to Arthur, still dabbing his forehead with the cool cloth.
"What's it like to be free?" She whispered, knowing full well that he couldn't hear her. "What's it like to not take orders from anyone? Just be yourself all the time, not pretending to be something you're not. What's it feel like?" _______ yawned one last time before she fell asleep with the rain patterns lulling her.
Time Skip...
The next morning she woke up with a knock on her door.
"My lady, it's time to wake up." The maid said, and walked away. _______ reluctantly opened her eyes, barely remembering what happened a few hours ago. Until she found herself resting her head on the chest of a pirate. She sat bolt upright and let out a small quiet shriek.
"Morning, love." Arthur's sleepy voice said cheerfully. He stretched out his arms, and let out a yawn.
"Shh, they'll hear you. How's your wound?" _______ asked, getting up, as she checked his temperature. His fever was gone.
"Stop worrying about me love, I'm fine." He waved her off, as he got up and picked up his shirt. _______ had washed the blood off last night so it was only a bit pink.
"It's not you I'm worried about. If anything I hope you shoot the queen if you ever happen to stand before her." _______ muttered. She picked out a white and yellow gown and quickly went behind the Chinese screen to change.
"You shy, love?" Arthur's voice was playful and _______ just rolled her eyes. She changed rapidly and ran to the dressing table to fix her hair.
"The maid will be here to clean in fifteen minutes precisely so I suggest you leave before then." Her voice was stern and Arthur just stared. _______ turned around and curtsied. "A pleasure to meet you, Arthur." He bowed in response.
"A pleasure to sleep with you, princess." He smirked and _______ glared before she ran out to the dining room. Her royal pain in the ass stepmother was already there. _______ never denied that the queen wasn't pretty. In fact she was gorgeous. Her platinum blonde hair, her sparkling green/brown eyes, her perfect body figure. A goddess if there was one, but she was cruel and could murder someone with just the snap off her painted fingers.
"You're late my swine." She hissed at _______. The queen plucked a cherry off it's stem and popped it in her mouth, making sure her lipstick wouldn't smear. _______ faked a smile and curtsied.
"My apologies your highness. It won't happen again." Her voice was sweet and innocent, but of course (bitch name) wasn't buying it.
"It better not, or you'll be sleeping in the streets. Do you have any excuses that you would like blab out to me, as to why you're tardy this evening?" 'It's morning, slut.' _______ wanted to hiss, but she just bowed her head.
"Excuses are only a burden to her majesty's ears. I would never dare to place such a heavy load on our beloved queen." She'd lived with this woman for fifteen years, and _______ had learned how to get on (bitch name)'s good side. Or as good as it gets, side. (bitch name) narrowed her eyes and her nose scrunched like she'd smelled something awful.
"You're getting fat. Something will have to be done about this matter. No food or water today and (friend name)!" She snapped her fingers and a girl, about _______'s age came running to the front of the table and curtsied.
"Yes, your highness?" Her voice was high and gentle. (bitch name) spit out a cherry pit and observed her nails.
"Take _______ back to her quarters and fit her into a corset. You're meeting your fiance today at the festival and I want him to be pleased with you, as I am not." 'My fiance?! What the hell were you planning to tell me any of this?' _______ wondered. She was getting married off to some guy like she expected, but this was earlier than proposed. (friend name) curtsied in response and _______ followed her up the stairs back to her room, without bowing to her stepmother.
To _______'s relief, Arthur was gone, leaving nothing behind that would remind her that he was really in her room. (friend name) was _______'s best friend since she had never known anyone else other than the maids, cooks, and butlers. They grew up together, (friend name) being her personal servant and shared the same hatred for (bitch name) as _______ did. The minute the door shut behind them, (friend name) threw her arms around her friend.
"Oh, _______, I'm sorry. I didn't know she would push your marriage so early. We all expected it to be in three years at least. I hope your husband will realize what an amazing person you are and treat you well." A lump formed in both their throats, but _______ refused to cry. Instead she laughed sadly.
"It's alright. If I was going to get married off one day, it might as well be now, right? Besides, I've got nothing left to lose." That was as far as her optimism went and (friend name) nodded in understanding. She helped _______ with the corset and fit on a cream dress on top. It was low on the neck and tight on the waist, the sleeves drooped from her arm loosely, and the most of it was lace, showing off a lot of skin through the cloth. _______ hated the thing, but worst of all she was dehydrated and could barely breathe.
"Maybe we should take the corset off. I mean you're as skinny as a twig, she wouldn't notice if-" (friend name) began.
"No she would notice. (bitch name) notices everything." _______ sighed and forced a smile. "It's alright, it's only for a few hours, right? I can manage." (friend name) looked doubtful and worried, but decided not to argue. She was about to leave when she say a little slip of paper on _______'s dressing table.
"What's this?" _______ looked over to what (friend name) was pointing at. They read the elegant script together.
Thank you for tending my wounds and fever. I am in debt to you. And I rather enjoyed sleeping with you.
- Arthur Kirkland
(friend name) looked at the note wide-eyed and _______ face palmed herself. She had some explaining to do.
"Arthur Kirkland?! The Arthur Kirkland?!" (friend name) ranted, and _______ covered her mouth.
"Shhh, I'll explain what happened. But (bitch name) can't know of this. Hell, no one can know about this." _______ whispered. She explained everything, the wounds the fever, the men outside their gate, everything. (friend name) asked hundreds of questions.
"Last one, was he really as handsome as all the girls say he is?" Her eyes widened with curiosity and _______ laughed.
"Oh my god, handsome is an understatement, he was absolutely beautiful!" _______ exclaimed and they both laughed at how stupid they sounded. 'After all that in one night, I'm getting married. It's just not fair.' ________ thought to herself, sadly.
They both hurried down to the main entrance and _______ jumped in the carriage across from (bitch name). (friend name) waved her off and they drove down to the village. The village was a lively place all the time, filled with laughing children, working parents, and young men and women falling in love. The town's people were all happy for a while, with the king ruling them. Then he died, they all grieved for their loss, and then were forced to pay more taxes. They could afford it at first, but their kingdom was poor ever since they went to war with Spain. So they paid and paid until the taxes was enough to cover their salary for a week.
_______ swore that she would stop this the minute they sat her on the throne and the commoners knew it. They loved her though they barely saw her. They heard of _______ through the castle staff and were at her side in an instant. Everyone wanted the queen dethroned as soon as possible.
"Sit up straight, _______, you're fiance is just over there." (bitch name) hissed, and _______ obeyed. They drove through the main road and turned into the loading docks. Waiting for them was another carriage, and out came a plumpy looking old man, with an uneven beard and a short young man with ginger hair, gray eyes, and the most perfect teeth. He looked like a kind, civilized gentleman and _______ let out a sigh of relief. If that was her husband, it might not be so bad. The carriage stopped and the man kindly opened the door and helped (bitch name) out and then _______. He smiled at her brilliantly, but not quite as brilliant as Arthur.
"(bitch name), beautiful as ever, I see." The old man kissed her hand, and the queen giggled and batted her eyelashes.
"Your words are music to my ears, Lord Paine." She turned to _______, "May I introduce my step-daughter, Princess _______ of England." The young man stepped forward and planted a kiss on the _______'s hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, your highness. My name's William Paine" His voice was abnormally high for a man, and _______ had to surpress her laughter. She curtsied politely with a sweet smile.
"Please, good sir, for the pleasures all mine." 'Did that even make sense?' She thought.
"I hope you know why we are here today, young lady." The old man interrupted. How badly did _______ want to just pull on this man's slanted beard.
"I believe I do, Lord Pain." She said. Her attention was somewhat drawn to the seagulls that passed over them and she wished that they would just lend her their wings so she could get the hell out of here. The old man smiled contently.
"Good, then we can get down to business." He gestured for his son to step forward. William took out a little velvet box from his coat pocket and got down on his knees.
"Princess _______ of England." 'Someone get me out of here. I'm not ready.' _______ freaked out in the inside. Her heart slowly cracking and chipping with every moment to pass.
"Will you...." 'No, no please no.'
"Do me the honors...." 'Please someone help.'
"Of being my wife?" 'Please, someone help me!' She internally wept, hoping for an angel to save her.
"Sorry to interrupt, but she's spoken for." A familiar voice said from behind her and a warm hand rested on her shoulder. _______ stiffened, and looked into Arthur's mesmerizing green eyes.
"What is the meaning of this?!" (bitch name), William, and the old man said in unison. Their voices angry, but also frightened. Arthur noticed and smirked.
"So I guess even the royals know the most feared pirate when they see him." He pointed a gun at William's head who looked more livid than the rest. (bitch name) just looked swooned, obviously liking Arthur's looks. And the plumpy lord was sweating and shivering insanely.
"You back away from her." William threatened icely. "You may shoot one of us, but you can't take down everyone before we get to her." Arthur, unimpressed, shrugged.
"You're right, I'm pointing the gun at the wrong person." He instantly aimed for _______'s head and she flinched. At least it's better than getting married She thought, though she was scared that Arthur would actually pull the trigger if he had to. _______ meant nothing to him and wasn't getting why he was attempting to kidnap her.
"NO!" (bitch name) screamed. "You can't take her. She needs to join to the two kingdoms! We need the money!"
"Haha! You need the money and if you're so desperate, then why don't you marry off yourself? I mean you don't look too bad for a fifty year old woman." Arthur smiled, now holding _______ close to him by the waist. (bitch name)'s eyes grew wide with fury, the maddest that _______ had ever seen her.
"I'm forty, not fifty, forty. GUARDS!!" She called, though there was no one close by to hear.
"Oh, time to go." Arthur said cheerfully, throwing _______ over his shoulder and running off as if she weighed nothing.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" _______ yelled to him, she was getting light headed. The tight corset, her stomach being pressed on his shoulder, and just the thrill of it all, but she forced herself to stay in focus and awake.
"Doing what I do best, love. Stealing treasure." He laughed and ran past multiple ships until he reached a large black one with no flag on it's past. Arthur ran up the plank to the deck and ordered the men to set sail immediately. He dropped _______ on the wooden floor with a thump.
"Hoist anchor, load cannons, and set sail for Bermuda!" Arthur yelled to his crew, drawing out his sword. They mimicked him with a cheer and ran to work. _______ sat at the feet of the pirate captain completely weak and helpless. He didn't look at her as he gave the orders to set sail though. Arthur's smile became wicked, but happy as if this was where he belonged. _______, though her head was spinning finally took in his outfit. He had added a red and gold overcoat to his original style along with a belt carrying the gun and sword, and of course the hat. Black, gold rimmed, with a large tan feather and little red clusters of flowers. His hair fell over his thick brows and only slightly over his demon fire eyes.
"Oh and Alfred!" He called, and a teenage boy only a couple years younger than _______ with dirty blonde hair and sky blue eyes came running up to Arthur, with only a glance at the captured princess.
"Ay, Captain." He saluted with a smirk on his face. The captain put a hand on his mate's shoulder.
"Do us a favor and hoist the flag, savvy?" He said, and Alfred's smile grew wide, before he ran below deck.
Everything was spinning as _______ gasped for breath. She couldn't take off her corset in front of all these men, let alone pirates. She dragged herself to leaned on a gunpowder barrel and sat there, breathing heavy, Arthur still not noticing a thing. At least I didn't have to say yes to the marriage Was all _______ thought and she was happier than ever about it. On the other hand she was furious for being taken away from her home. The people needed her to rule and fix the tax problem, bring England back to it's former glory. _______ watched as the black flag with the crossbone skull raised into the air. More cheering came from the crew and more yelling came from the soldier on the dock. She felt the ship jut forward and then start floating away fast and smooth. Then her world became a blur, her breath became short, and the last thing she saw was a pair of her two favorite emerald eyes looking down at her.

AND THATS YOUR ABC's KIDS, HAVE A NICE DAY. REMEMBER: ALWAYS RUN WITH SKISSERS
Your writing is excellent and I enjoy reading immensely but I did find a few things. At first you spelled Paine with a e at the end but then you spelled it without it. Also I saw on some thoughts you didn't have ' ' as you do on other thoughts. Just a few things I found sorry if they were already pointed out to you
They weren't, but I do know about them. This is going to really frustrate a few people, but I don't intend on fixing them only because this entire thing was a meaningless free write and frankly I couldn't care less. But thank you for pointing them out, and I'll be sure to keep things like that in mind for future stuff
why you're tardy this evening?" 'It's morning, slut' and (bitch name) XD omfg I was laughing the whole time

Then I won't post, I'll gladly be in bad relationships for ten years, I just won't date anyone for ten years.
I fell in LOVE with him through this all over again! I CRIED!!! And i NEVER cry! Bravo! I wish there were a sequel where he came back! Damn! I hate to say this but... ARTHUR KIRKLAND!! YOU ARE A BASTARD!!
Well, actually... it's one of those feelings where you love something so much even though you HATE it with a passion... but if she lives for many years, then he does too...
You could have him come back in the future... she could have served the "lifetime" as queen and she could leave, still being in her youth due to being a siren hybrid, and finally found Arthur once again... or he could be captured. She could pretend to hate him after the years he left (or she could think she does hate him, not seeing/feeling those feelings due to becoming "numb") and she could fall in love all over again, desperately trying to deny her feelings. Your story is so inspirational!! Thanks for being such an awesome writer! I loved it! I have YET to find such an exquisite pirate!england x reader story... THANKS AGAIN!!!

Dem brows man!!! I Can't Even!!
this is only the first part, and it's already so good!!!
Ok, firstly this is brilliant, and secondly, I sang sleepsong for a choir concert this year, but I was singing the accompanying part so I didn't get to learn the words, but now they're here and it makes me very happy!!
Eh, honestly, if the corset hurt me that much, i'd just take it off right there, at Arther's feet. I don't have anything there besides a flat chest, anyway.
I could just imagine Shade ((my OC)) getting a bit violent with England when she first woke up. ... She's violent with many of the guy countries! 'Specially France! >='D
If you take wil out of william it says liam and you change some letters in paine to payne then you get liam payne!

"Oh, time to go." Arthur said cheerfully, throwing _______ over his shoulder and running off as if she weighed nothing.
me: and then i flipped the bitch off
Pfft...BAHAhHAhHAHAHAhAHAHA. BEST FREAKING COMMENT!!
I swear, as soon as Arthur made an appearance, I started drooling slightly.
Bloody British gentlemen!!
Yay PIRATES~!! I'm gonna miss my friend though!!

The middle name is going to be Elmer and the last name is Sherman, so it would either be Jackson Elmer Sherman or Daniel Elmer Sherman. I know some people will shorten his name, but in my family we use the proper names. So essentially, he wants Jack/Jackson, and I want Daniel. Also we keep bouncing around the name Jirard/Gerard, and of course we both spell it differently.

Côte D'Or is one of the oldest chocolate bar trademarks, and its rich history has left a legacy of delicious Belgian chocolate bars in many varieties. Charles Neuhaus, a traditional Belgian chocolate-maker who opened a chocolate and sweet factory in 1870, created and registered the Côte d'Or brand on April 24th, 1883.
The brand was named after the "Gold Coast" (present-day Ghana) where he selected a portion of his cocoa beans. In 1898, the factory became the property of Mr. and Mrs. Léopold Bieswal, who bought it for their son, Joseph. The year 1899 marked the start of a fruitful cooperation between the Joseph Bieswal Co. and S.A. Lambert Michiels. It was not until July 16th, 1906 that they founded S.A. Alimenta, under the Côte d'Or trademark.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, with colonial expansion, the Belgians discovered new horizons as well as new tastes. They became wild enthusiasts of the "elephant chocolate", which has been famous ever since. The elephant, along with the palm tree and the three pyramids, has become the symbol of the Côte d'Or brand. A powerful symbol, as it is still with us today
