Top generals defect to the rebels as thousands of anti-government protesters demand Yemen president's resignation
Pressure grows on Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down after 32 years
State of emergency after 52 anti-government supporters were massacred by snipers in Yemen capital Sana'a
Top generals, ambassadors and some tribes threw their support behind Yemen's anti-government protesters today, in a move that adds considerably more pressure on the Middle East country's president to step down.
President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has been in charge of Yemen for 32 years, is desperately trying to survive growing demands for his immediate departure.
However the 65-year-old president, a perennial survivor who clung to power throughout a civil war, numerous uprisings and militant campaigns, has seen a string of allies break ranks with him in recent days.
Celebrating: Yemeni army officers react as they join anti-government protesters demanding the resignation of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh
On Friday snipers killed 52 anti-government protesters in Sana'a, prompting Saleh to sack his cabinet and declare a state of emergency for 30 days that restricts freedom of movement and the right to gather and gives police more power of arrest.
But the televised announcement of defection by General Ali Mohsen, a powerful figure close to Saleh, will be a major setback to Saleh.
'We announce our peaceful support for the peaceful revolution of the youth and their demands and we carry out our duty ... in ensuring security and stability in the capital,' Mohsen, commander of the northwest military zone, said on Al Jazeera television.
Defecting: A Yemeni army officer raises his AK-47 in the capital Sana'a as the president's supporters turn against him
Feel good: The anti-government supporters cheer on the good news in the hope that the pressure will be too much for Ali Abdullah Saleh
Under pressure: The Yemen president has been in charge of the Middle East country for 32 years and survived civil unrest before - but will he survive this?
V for victory: Anti-government protesters in the Yemen capital Sana'a felt that the tide was turning in their favour
Bahrain's king blamed a foreign plot for his nation's weeks-long unrest, using veiled language to accuse Iran of fomenting an uprising by the Shiite majority in the Sunni-ruled island kingdom.
The Bahrain opposition's main demand is for a constitutional monarchy that would keep the royal family in power but would let people elect a government.
Inspired by mass protests in Tunisia and Egypt that toppled the two countries' presidents, it rejects accusations of influence by the Shiite powerhouse across the Persian Gulf.
'We don't want Iranians to come. We don't want a big problem in this small country,' senior opposition leader Ali Salman said yesterday, adding that the solution to the country's crisis has to come from its people.
The king declared a three-month emergency rule and invited armies from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other Sunni-ruled Gulf states to help quell unrest in Bahrain, the home of U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa praised the Saudi-led force and said 'Bahrain is bigger and stronger today than ever.'
'I here announce the failure of the fomented subversive plot against security and stability,' the king was quoted as saying by state-run Bahrain News Agency. The king spoke to the commander of the Saudi-led force and said its troops give Bahrain strength and confidence.
Iran has condemned the presence of the Gulf force in Bahrain and Shiites across the Middle East have been outraged by the deadly crackdown of protest, that has killed at least 13 people.
'Yemen today faces a serious crisis ... as a result of unconstitutional and illegal practices by the authorities, a policy of marginalisation and absence of justice,' Mohsen continued.
'Repressing peaceful demonstrators in public areas around the country has led to a cycle of crises which is getting more complicated each day and pushing the country toward civil war.'
Mohsen is a kinsman of Saleh from the influential al-Ahmar tribe, whose members hold many key positions in the state.
Two other generals announced their support for the protesters, according to Al Jazeera - Mohammed Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, commander of the eastern military section, and Hamid al-Qosheibi, commander of the Amran region.
Among other prominent officers voicing support for protesters was Abdullah Alaiwa, a former defence minister and adviser to the army staff, Al Jazeera said.
Two Yemeni ambassadors also resigned their posts in protest at the government's crackdown on protesters. They include Abdel-Wahhab Tawaf, Yemen's ambassador to Syria, and Mohammed al-Ahwal, Yemen's ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
'I am resigning after the massacre that happened at the Taghyir (Change) Square,' Tawaf told Al Jazeera television.
Sheikh Sadeq al-Ahmar, leader of the Hashed tribal federation to which the Ahmar belong, also spoke on Arab satellite televisions of his support for the protest movement.
The governor and his deputy in Aden, a port city at the centre of a secessionist movement in south Yemen, and the deputy speaker of parliament and several ruling party MPs were among others who expressed support on Monday for the protest movement.
Mourners buried some of the protesters shot dead after Muslim Friday prayers in the impoverished Arabian Peninsula state, where tens of thousands of people have protested for weeks against Saleh's three decade-old rule.
Saleh has already said he will not run for reelection in 2013 and proposed political reforms including a new constitution in an effort to end weeks of protests.
Western countries are concerned over the unrest since Yemen has been an ally against a wing of al Qaeda which has tried to mount attacks against the United States and crucial oil producer Saudi Arabia.
Yemen is seen as facing potential disintegration and collapse of central control.
Syrian army deployed to calm funeral crowd
The Syrian army were deployed today at the entrances to the southern city of Deraa as officials tried to calm passions following protests for freedom in which five civilians were killed, residents said.
Thousands of mourners marched at the funeral of 23-year-old Raed al-Kerad who died yesterday, the latest of five protesters to be killed by security forces. Mourners chanted slogans demanding political freedom and an end to corruption.
'God, Syria, freedom. The people want the overthrow of corruption,' they chanted.
Anger: A coffin is passed along the many people in Syria - and the government deployed army troops to calm passions
Mourning: Syrian army officers were scrambled to as thousands of mourners marched at the funeral of 23-year-old Raed al-Kerad in Deraa
The slogan is a play on the words 'the people want the overthrow of the regime,' the rallying cry of the revolutions that overthrew the entrenched leaders of Tunisia and Egypt and spread across the Arab world.
The mourners later gathered at the al-Omari mosque in the old quarter of Deraa near the border with Jordan.

I am trying to add a checkmark to a
UITableViewCell when a user selects it. I have the following code:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
UITableViewCell *selectedCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
if (selectedCell.accessoryType == UITableViewCellAccessoryNone) {
selectedCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
The table has multiple sections and the problem is that if I select a row the checkmark is duplicated in other rows in different sections. The checkmark also moves between rows in each section as you scroll up and down the page. I have managed to loop through the table and document how many rows have the accessory checkmark and each time it is the number it should be, it doesn't count the other rows that get added without me meaning to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All the big-ticket live shows worth splurging on.
At these lowly prices, the sight of Pa Jazz alone warrants a visit. Under a corrugated steel roof extending from a wooden house, she stands impeccably coiffed, with makeup fit for a beauty queen competition, as she handles two pans simultaneously, with only a towel wrapped around her neck as concession to the tropical heat and the two gas burners. The one downside to this personal attention is that her petite portions can only reach the customers at the dozen folding tables surrounding her two at a time. On a Friday night, you might be in for a 40-minute wait. Relax, enjoy the look toong and get ready to be dazzled. The pretty auntie is using fresh but otherwise standard ingredients. What makes her cooking shine is perfect timing and sauces bursting with flavor. The mara pad khai is a soft, light, velvety egg and bitter cucumber dish under a generous splash of pepper. It's simple yet subtle. Pair it with something with more bite, like the plaa chon pad khuen chai—the khuen chai is fresh and basking in an addictive (if a little salty) mix of fish sauce, soy sauce and tao jiew. Heat things up further with another great sauce, like the one on the plaa goong. The small, unremarkable shrimps sit atop a cabbage salad splashed with chili paste, onions, shallots, mints and chopped lemon grass. You'll want to lick the plate. Once your tongue is warmed up, go for a red curry with boar or frogs. This is the point of no-return, a screaming explosion of fiery sensory overload. But even then you can still taste the bay leaves, the meat and the bitter taste bombs of eggplant. You just might need a clear soup like gaeng om neua, a herbal, peppery delight to regain your senses. People like Pa Jazz are Thai fine dining restaurants' worst nightmare. How can glitzy restaurants justify their existence with aunties creating such masterpieces? Corkage B50.

Thunderforge http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/users/27666 2016-06-21T04:18:56Z 2016-06-21T06:38:53Z
Right now, we have the following badges for tags:

Gold Badges – Two, and only JohnGB has been awarded them

Silver Badges – Four, JohnGB has been awarded all of them and DA01 has been awarded one

Bronze Badges — Twenty-eight, and 11 of them (~40%) have only been awarded to one person (usually JohnGB).

While JohnGB has been a valuable expert on this site and definitely deserves all of his badges, there are other experts on this site too that should be recognized. Also, those who are awarded Gold Tag Badge get a supervote for closing questions.

The problem is that the criteria to get these badges are very high. So high that most people will probably never achieve them:

Gold: Earn at least 1000 total score for at least 200 non-community wiki

Silver: Earn at least 400 total score for at least 80 non-community wiki answers

Bronze: Earn at least 100 total score for at least 20 non-community wiki answers

Our most used tags have between 1,500 and 2,000 questions, and the gold and silver tag winners have answered between 5-10% of these. I don't think it's likely that the experts in this field can match that.

Is there any way that we can change the criteria for badges to something that is more reasonable for this site, so that our experts in these tags can get badges to recognize their knowledge?

I just posted an answer that included a small screenshot. The answer now shows the screenshot filling the width of the answer column, so it looks HUGE!

It doesn't look like the answer-input widget provides any formatting options, like displaying an image at its true size or at a specified size. Does it?
 http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/q/2097 0 Earning points for suggested edits: Is it broken or does the Help page require editing? Monomeeth http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/users/79279 2016-06-09T22:16:09Z 2016-06-09T22:16:09Z
I've been meaning to ask this for a while as I haven't come across an explanation anywhere. According to this help page, when a suggested edit is accepted the user making the edit earns 2 reputation points.

Now, I can't be 100% sure, but I don't recall ever earning 2 reputation points whenever I've edited a question. Why is this?

If it's because my reputation is above 1k, then the help page should be amended to clarify what the up to +1000 total per user actually means. I imagine most people would interpret suggested edit is accepted: +2 (up to +1000 total per user) as meaning the user will earn 2 reputation points for each edit up to a maximum of 1000 points for suggested edits (i.e. you can earn 2 points for up to 500 edits after which you stop earning points for suggested edits).

Now, if I'm right that a person with over 1000 total reputation is no longer eligible for earning reputation points for edits, then why would this be the case? Why should someone stop accruing reputation points just because their overall reputation is above some limit?

I think capping the points one can earn based on their total number of edits makes sense, as this encourages users to get into the habit of editing posts when they think they can improve them. But capping this based on a user's total reputation seems to defeat the intent behind the incentive to take the time to improve someone else's post?

Can someone clarify what's going on? Either way, it seems some action is needed, even if it's just to clarify the help page.
 http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/q/2095 3 Bug rewarding extra Marshal badges Graham Herrli http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/users/21954 2016-06-08T17:56:19Z 2016-06-09T22:47:11Z
There seems to be a bug rewarding extra Marshal badges. I flagged two things yesterday; both were marked as helpful. Now, my account is showing two new Marshal badges.

As cool as it is to get a gold badge whenever I flag a post, this should probably be fixed.

(The 7 at the top of this screenshot should be a 5. The two new notifications are bogus.)

The exception is this site. When attempting to access this site via HTTPS (https://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/) Firefox delivers this error:

 http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/q/2087 1 Shall we make some questions regarding icons on-topic? RockPaperLizard http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/users/69426 2016-05-21T20:17:42Z 2016-05-23T01:23:35Z
According to our moderator JohnGB:

The problem is that it was decided years ago to disallow questions about icon suggestions. Outside of the site policy, I would like to allow questions about common icons (which would include this question), but until there is a consensus on amending the icon rules, any question about icons for x purpose is going to be off topic.

Is it time to rethink that old decision and allow icon questions in accordance with moderator JohnGB's recommendation?

I have a question that was marked as off topic: Has anyone come up with a Match Case icon?

How it was written, I certainly understand why it was marked that way.

I wrote an update to hopefully qualify it to be on topic.

Is it on topic at this point? If not, can you advise me on how to alter it to make it on topic?

Thanks so much for your help.
 http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/q/2083 1 Does "you will have to test" count as an answer DasBeasto http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/users/62535 2016-05-10T18:35:09Z 2016-05-10T18:35:09Z
For many questions on UX.SE I see the answer given "The only way you will know the answer to this is to test..".

Sure, I do believe this is the case for some questions, the question may be too unique or the research simply hasn't been done and the only way the poster will know is to test with his or her users. However, for the sake of this site, I don't believe coming in to a question and reading the accepted answer of "you will have to test" is going to help anybody.

It is also a bit of a blanket answer that could be applied to any question and technically be right, testing which is better will tell you which is better. So when some people see those as accepted answers they may feel more inclined to repeat it for questions with better answers available.

Presuming that the answer itself provides enough reasoning and context to otherwise not be closed/downvoted as not an answer or poor quality, would providing no concrete answer other than to test it with your users count as a valid answer?
 http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/q/2082 1 Took time to put in a thorough question, stated my issue clearly, and still put on hold JonH http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/users/7154 2016-05-06T19:03:06Z 2016-05-11T01:12:25Z
I posted this earlier: Converting users from hierarchical structure to tags? and was surprised to see it was put "On Hold". I've been an SE user and mainly work in SO / Meta for years now. I don't understand why this question was put on hold.

I started off with the tl;dr; of what I am trying to do. I mentioned I knew about another question that might have been a cause for duplication but I stressed the difference, providing examples.

I then took time from my day to carefully post the question, provide screen shots, list out my current issues and my possible solution. I stated what I was looking for. I even got one solid answer...and then it is put on hold with no reason why.

I'm sorry I didn't waste two hours of my day formulating a question only to be put on hold with no reason. The reason there is just not enough: "put on hold as too broad". Broad about what? I made a proposal and want to see what other professionals think about it and get feedback to help me. As mentioned the first answer was great, and I'd hate to lose the momentum.

Please explain how I can make this question better to remove its current status, as it stands its not a pleasant experience so far :(.

 http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/q/2078 0 Is there a mechanism for dealing with or discouraging malicious down voting? Andrew Martin http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/users/62350 2016-05-04T15:46:12Z 2016-06-04T09:09:24Z
I've just seen a page where it would appear that someone has down voted every answer in one go.

Firstly: is this possible or is what I have just seen merely the coincidental occurrence of several people down-voting different answers at the same time? (If so please disregard the rest of this question)

Secondly: shouldn't there be some sort of mechanism in place (such as the 3 minute wait between proposed questions on the Area 51 stackexchange) to prevent such a thing?

Thirdly: would it be possible to enact some sort of penalty for down voting more than one answer on a page? - I was thinking the loss of rep points based on the fibonacci sequence for example (eg, 1st down-vote on a single post costs 1, 2nd on the same post = 3, 3rd = 5... or something like that

JonW's answer to this meta question puts forward a good reason why questions looking for studies or research shouldn't actively be discouraged, but I figure there are so many times that the answer to questions like this begin "It's unlikely that research into what's the optimal place to put a survey link..." that it's might be worth collaborating on a stock reply.

Anyone have strong feelings about this?
 http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/q/2075 1 Earning the 'Comment Everywhere' privilege Little Eden http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/users/82172 2016-04-22T04:56:32Z 2016-04-22T08:38:42Z
I've read up on the 'Comment Everywhere' privilege and understand how the privilege itself works and that you require 50 reputation points to earn it.

What I don't understand is why?

I've only been registered for a little while and have had to use the Answer function a few times when in fact I didn't have a answer at all, I just wanted to leave a comment. Having to do this isn't in anyone's interest.

Why is it something you have to earn at 50 reputation points?

It just seems strange to me we can flag posts and vote them up (both of which in a sense is commenting on them) at only 15 reputation points, but to actually type a meaningful direct comment we have to wait to earn more than three times that many reputation points.

I did try to find an answer as to the logic behind this, but haven't found it yet. Anyone?
 http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/q/2072 1 Is the bounty feature/process giving community users what they need? Michael Lai http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/users/27659 2016-04-12T00:37:08Z 2016-04-12T08:47:08Z
Maybe I like to ask questions more than provide answers as a UX designer (sorry, I do have a background in science so it is in my nature), but I saw that of the five bounties posted today I started 3 of them, which makes me wonder why people with more points are not using bounties more to push the boundaries of discussion.

I am not sure exactly why people with lower reputation don't use it as much, but it is not as if people with more reputation use it much either. So I am wondering why there aren't there more bounties and responses to bounty questions, and if this feature is actually providing users with what they are looking for?

I recently added an answer to an old question for which I think the accepted answer is incorrect, but the OP has not returned to the site for the last couple years. Is there any way to get the Accepted Answer changed (to the correct one)? Do I flag it for moderator attention?

It seems wrong that an inactive user can "own" the Accepted flag such that it cannot be updated.
 http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/q/2067 0 Equivalent of 'bug bounties' for information security in UX: 'dark pattern bounties'? Michael Lai http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/users/27659 2016-04-11T02:47:56Z 2016-06-10T09:52:59Z
I asked a question regarding preventing RSI for mobile phone applications and the fact that game designers (many of them no doubt also UX designers) not doing anything to alleviate the amount of strain on the thumb and fingers but rather actually encouraging people to repeat clicking actions. It would be good to see some collective effort from the UX community to discourage this type of practice, since people don't seem to want to talk about ethic in design (judging from responses to questions I have asked previously on this topic, and the amount of tags on this topic in general).

Just wondering if it is worth setting up something like what companies offer penetration testers/white hat hackers with bug bounties but for the UX equivalent, which might be something like hidden dark patterns that use unethical design practices to intentionally harm users.

Would it be ok to open a thread on this site simply asking for "examples of bad UX design"?

I know that such a question doesn't quite fit within the StackExchange guidelines, as it's a bit too open-ended. But I think it could invite a rather interesting collection of answers (and I for one would enjoy submitting a few myself).
 http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/q/2063 0 Why does hovering on some SE links in posts and comments not show a tooltip or at least a title? no comprende http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/users/67695 2016-04-08T15:40:51Z 2016-06-08T09:15:19Z
I find that when I move my mouse over a link to a post within the SE network, a "reveal" of the link will show in the bottom left corner of Chrome. Sometimes it shows the actual Question / Title, and sometimes it is just numbers. Why is that?

Further, sometimes the mouseover will show the title of the question in a tooltip, but sometimes not. What is up with that?

As an example, look at the links in the 2nd and 3rd comments in this UX question. You can simply mouse over this link - in my browser the full title shows in the lower left corner, but no tooltip, so it splits the difference of the two cases in the actual linked page (and is faster to try out).

 http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/q/2056 10 What to do when there is no answers on Bounty question Michael Lai http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/users/27659 2016-04-05T23:23:30Z 2016-04-13T10:43:25Z
I am not sure if this is the first time it has happened to me, but I didn't get any answers on my bounty question but I have still been asked to award the bounty to someone. Is this a defect or some quirk with the system?

On a more practical level, what can one do to try and move forward when a bounty has been put up because the question hasn't received enough attention or no authoritative references have been provided?

UPDATE: Having read the bounty conditions again, I am aware of this particular part where it says:

A bounty does not guarantee a response, however, and reputation refunds are not available if no answers are received as a result of the bounty.

I take this to mean that the moderators/community don't actually investigate or work out whether this is still worthy for consideration, and are happy to just leave it at that?

My personal feeling is that the depth and scope of the forum is generally shaped more so by the questions that are not answered (when they are appropriate questions) compared to questions that come up all the time and are not subject to changes in technology or trends, so perhaps we should care more about providing some resolution/closure?

Just wondering whether people posting answers should provide disclaimers or declare conflicts of interest if they refer to a particular technology or vendor solution in response to an answer that doesn't necessarily require an implementation example or solution.

I think it is good practice to state these things out in the open so we don't appear to be biased or in favour of particular products or services because we use them or have created them ourselves. Or is this something that the moderators should take into consideration when evaluating answers to these types of questions?

 http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/q/2043 2 Community Promotion Ads - 2016 Grace Note http://meta.ux.stackexchange.com/users/7091 2016-01-15T03:02:02Z 2016-04-08T14:33:45Z
It's 2016 now, and we've made some changes to the sidebar size. As such, we can now restart the Community Promotion Ads for 2016!

Keep in mind, we have updated some of the guidelines compared to previously - the changes are marked in bold in the Image Requirements section.

What are Community Promotion Ads?

Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.

Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?

This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:

the site's twitter account

useful doodads and gizmos for UX experts

interesting articles or findings for the curious

cool events or conferences

anything else your community would genuinely be interested in

The goal is for future visitors to find out about the stuff your community deems important. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are relevant to your own community's interests, both for those already in the community and those yet to join.

Why do we reset the ads every year?

Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.

The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.

How does it work?

The answers you post to this question must conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored.

All answers should be in the exact form of:

[![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2] [1]: http://image-url [2]: http://clickthrough-url

Please do not add anything else to the body of the post. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.

The question must always be tagged with the magic community-ads tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.

Image requirements

The image that you create must be 300 x 250 pixels, or double that if high DPI.

Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)

Must be GIF or PNG

No animated GIFs

Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB

If the background of the image is white or partially white, there must be a 1px border (2px if high DPI) surrounding it.

Score Threshold

There is a minimum score threshold an answer must meet (currently 6) before it will be shown on the main site.

You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats here.

Should this link to activate:

Be duplicated?

Say click here, when I could be on mobile, and not clicking?

Be a button instead, to imply interaction?

This email mentions clicking the link three times. "All it takes is a single click", "Click here" and "If the above link is not clickable".

I know that email clients are very picky and mean but surely there has got to be a better way. In Mailchimp we regularly send out newsletters and we use an image button (it could say "Verify your email address") as a link button. Seems to work fine in most browsers.

This is a question that is asked quite frequently, and before the new user profile page was released – you were forced to build your own database query on a specific site. Luckily that's not needed anymore, since you can find the progression in the user interface, even if it's kind of hidden with a small gray gear icon.

Go to your user profile page (click the top bar with your username on it) and click the little gear icon to the right of the Next Badge element.

Once there, on the top left of the modal dialogue, you can filter by available, all, gold, silver and bronze. At first you'll see the badges you've already have been awarded and then one with less effort (?) to get next. Check it out and leave the database scripting to the SE-employee.

Good luck tracking your next badge

More on badge hunting

One additional feature to assist badge hunters is the "Go get it" button:

">

Not every badge includes this feature, but those that do attempt to point you to a place you can make progress. For instance, the Proofreader button points to the suggested edit review queue.

Generally, the recommended next badge is the one you've made the most progress toward completion. So if you've rep capped 45 out of 50 days for Epic and 80 out of 100 consecutive days needed for Fanatic, we'll recommend Epic first. For most people, visiting the site 20 more times will be easier than getting 200+ reputation for 5 days, but we just compare 90% completion to 80% and recommend the badge you've made more progress on.

Finally, we have a separate bar on the left side for tracking privilege levels. Once you max that out (and we hope to open this feature to everyone) it's possible to track tag badges. These are especially interesting since they demonstrate your expertise in a narrow portion of the site's overall topic.

This section originates from the answer to the same "question" on SP.SE.

"Best Practices for labels and text in Android [#12947]" < This question was still appearing near the bottom of our Unanswered list*, despite the fact that it was migrated to Android Enthusiasts, and then subsequently deleted from that site. Ergo, when you click the link from our answered list, you get an Android Enthusiasts 404 page... that's a really bad user experience. (I'm also not really sure why it was deleted from that site -- seems like a valid question to me.)

More generally: do unanswered, migrated questions always appear in this list? They really shouldn't as they're no longer part of this site's content, and can't be answered here.

Secondarily: why would this question have been removed from Android Enthusiasts?

*Until Patrick deleted it after reading this question. :-)

Imagine waking one Saturday morning to learn that a new law was going through Parliament which would allow your bank to help itself to between 7 per cent and 10 per cent of your bank deposit to help pay the country's debts.
OPINION: To make matters worse, if you wanted to react (and of course you would) you couldn't, because the banks were closed for a Bank Holiday.
And just in case there was a bit of a bank run (and why wouldn't there be), the government was going to extend the Bank Holiday a day or so to give them time to convince you this decision was in your best interests. While this scenario sounds so fanciful as to be a bad dream, it is exactly the scenario that Cypriot citizens faced last weekend.
As you can imagine, markets and commentators reacted immediately to what many referred to as government theft, made worse because it was dressed up as a "tax" that was going to be grabbed from the supposedly safe confines of a bank.
The most voiced question was: "Is this an exceptional situation or could savers in other developed economies suffer the same fate?" And doesn't this decision make a mockery of the deposit guarantee that was in place and the promise from the European Central Bank to do "whatever it takes" to make things better?
Most had assumed that meant using its own money not that of citizens.
Others questioned the motivation behind the proposal, suggesting that it was entirely political. Germany is facing an election shortly and doesn't want to be seen as weak in paying out more bailout money than is necessary to a country whose woes are entirely of its own making.
Cyprus accounts for less than half a per cent of the 17-nation euro economy, so is an easier target for Germany to play tough with. Cyprus is also unusual in that its banking system assets are about five times the size of the economy, so a deposit tax makes more sense than the bond buyback approach which has been used elsewhere.
But unusual or not, this is the first time that depositors in a developed economy have been asked or required personally to help finance a bailout.
As it happens, the proposal was voted down resoundingly and European leaders have gone back to the drawing board. Even though there was some last-minute tweaking to exclude small depositors, who were the most outraged, it still didn't make it through.
You have to wonder what the politicians were thinking in putting the wind up savers the world over.
There are a couple of (albeit minor) positives to be taken from this whole episode. One is that savers around the world have had a real reminder that there is no such thing as a truly risk-free asset.
We've also been reminded of the importance of diversification - and no, that doesn't mean money under the mattress. Also, the fact that markets took this latest European shock in their stride says a lot about how far we've come in the last couple of years.

Just remember the only thing standing between you and 11 million illegal aliens becoming citizens is a phone call. Let these politicians know they could find themselves on the sidewalk with all their worldly belongings if they don't do something about getting rid of illegal aliens, or if they dare grant them amnesty.
#20 Feb 8, 2014
will do, keep up that good work.thank you cat 74.
United States
#21 Feb 8, 2014
illegal aliens are in no way good for the country, they are criminals and no one should reward them for crimes no matter how long they have hidden in the USA.
all who have brought up rewarding illegal aliens needs to be out of work too bad we cannot remove their supporters by taking their citizenship from them and kicking them out as well.

Odd Future banned, why not Eminem?
Related Links
Relevant offers
Share your news and views
As someone with an abiding interest in the social sciences, as well as hip hop music, Odd Future being denied entry visas to New Zealand by immigration officials really captured my attention.
Section 14 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 states:
"Everyone has the right to freedom of expression, including the right to seek, receive, and impart information and opinions of any kind in any form."
This would lead me to assume Odd Future should have been allowed to perform at the Rapture festival, unless there was an overreaching threat to our national security or system of governance if they had been allowed to perform their incendiary brand of music.
As someone familiar with Odd Future's music, I find this really hard to believe, but to gain some more understanding of this case, I did some research.
Hip-hop music is implicitly written in a stream of consciousness style, with heavy poetic licence and a widely understood history of trying to offend.
Anybody with even the most minor understanding of the genre is aware that large tracts of the music are absurdist and in no way meant to be taken literally.
Sometimes the lyrics are steeped in irony, sometimes they are an intentional affront to our Western-bourgeois sensibilities.
It emerged from a marginalised urban culture that had legitimate grievances with the status quo, and this style of chiding and picking away at authority has remained a central aspect of rap music.
The two strains of thought that appear to have blocked Odd Future's entrance to New Zealand this time is that; their music promotes rape, and their concerts incite violence.
This is not the first time Odd Future have been banned from performing here.
Last time they were banned from New Zealand it was blamed on their homophobic lyrical content, notably their (obviously comedic) overuse of the word f..... .
Since then, two members of Odd Future, Frank Ocean and Syd tha Kid, have come out of the closet, and Odd Future's clear tolerant attitudes towards homosexuality have been illustrated in both their behaviour and in a broader musical context.
They use the word f..... to shock, as an affront to our sensibilities and as a reflection of the values that others hold.
They are discussing homophobia in a confronting manner, not being homophobic themselves.
This time, with Odd Future's pro-LGBT views firmly entrenched, the moralisers require a new straw man to destroy.
That new straw man is rape. Not one mention of homophobia has been made in the press in 2014, an achievement of almost Orwellian proportions.
A campaign by anti-sexual violence group Stop Demand sought to have the group pulled from the show at Western Springs - a council-owned venue - due to explicit and sexual content in their songs, some which reference rape.
The picture that these people have painted to the uninitiated is that Odd Future regularly and literally encourage people to commit rapes and sexual violence specifically.
I casually listen to quite a lot of Odd Future. I don't own any albums, but I really like Earl Sweatshirt and I will occasionally play their songs on Spotify or attend parties where their albums are being played. At no point in any of my time listening to them have I been consciously aware of a reference to rape.
However, they do make reference to burning things and killing people. Why is there no outcry about their support of murder, arson and anti-educational views? I wonder whether the moralisers have also neglected to mention this as it would help the public put the occasional rape reference into a broad context with the remainder of the intentionally outlandish stream of conscious ramblings of these teenagers?
It's an interesting insight into the minds of these people that they should have chosen to raise the obscure rape references rather than the more obvious views on murder and arson.
These moral panics have been taking place in society regarding the music that youth are listening to since the birth of rock'n'roll, but I think we need to examine the sort of person it takes to attempt to ban this art.
These moralisers (whose opinion matters more than the thousands who have paid to watch Odd Future) have trawled through the Odd Future back catalogue and have decided to selectively highlight the occasional reference to rape, before starkly copying it in print and acting as though it's literal.
The enormous white elephant in the room in this whole debacle is Eminem, the headliner of the event.
Every hysterical allegation that Odd Future have had thrown at them in the past week has also been thrown at Eminem over the course of his career.
In fact, I listened to an Eminem cypher before the concert, where he clearly enunciated some equally controversial views regarding sex and rape.
Why has nobody called his spot at the festival into question? Because they understand Eminem has never committed a rape. His lyrics are a nod to Freudian psychology and a humorously overplayed reference to his "bad boy" image, all done in beautifully rhythmical, rhyming manner.
All the same, Eminem is doing exactly what Odd Future have been banned for and nobody has raised any concerns with his attendance.
What sort of hypocrisy is this? It's certainly a double standard.
Eminem is the highest selling musician of any genre in the 21st century. He has sold more albums in the 21st century than U2, Beyonce ... any musical act ever.
If he is an advocate of rape, so are a huge proportion of young people worldwide. To target Eminem as illogically as Odd Future would be to invite certain ridicule from the public.
This is an obvious moral panic and Odd Future have been weirdly singled out.
Aside from being alleged rape enthusiasts, the other issue in denying Odd Future's visas is their potential to incite disorder. This is "evidenced" by one reported event in Boston. They have played thousands of concerts and the only event that is referred to repeatedly is at a signing in Boston where a police officer was injured.
This is telling. While I don't dispute that a potential fan of Odd Future may have injured a policeman, surely one incident in the thousand-plus public appearances is within the norms of probability? If you are banning people for inciting chaos among their fan base, how were Rage Against the Machine ever allowed to tour here, a band with a significantly worse record for public safety?
Again, this argument hold no water.
Further, why are Odd Future responsible for the actions of their fans? Once you start apportioning blame for alleged influence, you are again entering very repressive territory.
What sort of wild hypocrisy is this that Odd Future are held to different standards? This argument is so ridiculous it's making my head spin.
Either you believe in the right to free speech or you do not. There is no halfway house in this issue, and we should not be prepared to compromise.
The moment we begin censoring views that we don't agree with (or in this case fundamentally understand), we are opening ourselves to a very dangerous precedent.
Free speech is one of the hallmarks of a democratic society. It should be restricted only in extreme, compelling circumstances. Banning views that are objectionable and offensive is the slippery slope to censorship and to the closing down of open debate.
It is also counterproductive. It risks making martyrs of people with bigoted opinions and deflects from the real solution to hate speech: education and rational debate.
My view on this topic is that the moralisers should be free to express their opinions on Odd Future. They should write articles decrying them. They should be allowed to say they believe that Odd Future should be banned from performing.
In response to this, I would simply quote Voltaire and tell them that; I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
At least this is going to be something we laugh about with our children in years to come I guess.

Aim The aim of this study was to compare 5-year survival rates in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who underwent potentially curative surgery before and after the introduction of the 2-week wait (2WW) referral system.
Method Data were collected retrospectively from a prospectively maintained cancer database for CRC patients who underwent surgery in 1999 (pre-2WW group, n = 150) and 2002 (post-2WW group, n = 126). Patients who presented as an emergency, those who died within 30 days of surgery and those who presented with incurable CRC were excluded. We used the Kaplan–Meier method to plot survival curves and the log rank test to compare survival rates between the two groups.
Results The 5-year survival rates in the pre-2WW and post-2WW groups did not differ significantly (71%vs 72%, respectively; P = 0.880). The number of CRC patients who presented via urgent pathways was higher in the post-2WW group than in the pre-2WW group (77%vs 38%, P < 0.001). Further, owing to this change in the referral pattern, the overall delay between referral and treatment was significantly lower in the post-2WW group than in the pre-2WW group (median 76 days vs 115, P = 0.009).
Conclusion The 2WW referral system for patients with symptoms of CRC does not translate into improved survival. However, more patients with symptomatic CRC are being referred via urgent pathways.

About meI have a blog where I review and give away several books a month, all published by indie presses, at http://www.carpelibrisreviews.com. To say I love to read is an understatement. The walls of my house, upstairs and down, are lined with shelves of books; my desk is covered with stacks waiting to be read. And that's the way I like it. If there's one thing I love almost as much as reading, it's to talk about what I read.
About my libraryMy library has a wide assortment of books - classics, bestsellers, art books, nonfiction; but my current reads are all from independent presses, which I discuss on my blog, carp(e) libris reviews.

Saw a Consultant last week, who did a colonoscopy 2 days ago and screened for bowel cancer.... I have been told colon looked normal, so diagnosis is IBS, I have a follow up appointment in 3 weeks, and have rang this morning due to the pain being constant now, since the bowel prep for the colonoscopy? my pubic bone on the left side is very painful when touched, I dont know what the hell is going on, and I am getting frightened to eat, because of the pain I am in, its getting me down. Has anyone had similar problems, would be grateful to hear off you. Thanks
