(Turkey, October 29, 2015) We peasants are the ones who watch over a plant as it comes into leaf and grows tall; who plant seeds, seedlings and saplings in the earth; who are filled with joy when we observe their healthy progress; who lose sleep when they fall sick; who care for our animals like our children.
Yet now, we are losing sleep over events in the Middle East and Turkey, we are following developments with great concern. Why? Because war strikes small farmers first. Peasants are being forced to abandon their villages and land. Peasant families are not only losing their land, but also their lives, and they are being forced to migrate. Forests are now being destroyed, the water is being polluted and nature faces ruin.
Each new dawn brings more news of massacres. News of massacres in Turkey have been added to the already devastating news of massacres in Syria and Iraq.
Statement on Current Repression of Farmers in Poland

Press Release
Brussels, October 15, 2015
The European Coordination of Via Campesina (ECVC) expresses its solidarity with the 11 farmers arrested on the 6th October in the Western Pomerania Province and calls for the immediately release of the detained farmers with full pardon.
We condemn this repression of legitimate protest and the tactics of intimidation being employed by the Polish authorities. We call on the Polish government to work with the farmers' organizations and prioritize access to agricultural land for family farmers over the sale of agricultural land to foreign companies.
As an organization representing 27 farmers' and agricultural workers' organizations from 18 European countries we are fully aware of the risks that the sale of public land to foreign corporations holds for farmers livelihoods and national food security. Across Europe, farmers are struggling to maintain access to land in the face of land concentration and land grabs, often facilitated by public bodies. You are not alone in Poland, this is a European struggle and farmers must stand together to defend their rights.

Subject: Threats in Colombia: Serious Concern regarding lack of guarantees
The government of Juan Manuel Santos and the FARC guerrilla movement recently announced that they had reached an agreement on the topic of Justice, one of the subject under discussion in their ongoing talks in Havana. This is an important step, allowing us to look forward with optimism to the possible signature of an agreement that will bring to an end the armed conflict between the Colombian government and the FARC guerillas after more than 60 years of war, we believe that this is a possibility that must not be lost. Furthermore, we hope that talks, leading to an eventual agreement, will soon be started with the ELN guerrilla movement.

upper case on HP Officejet 4500 wireless keypad
I am trying to connect to my wireless network using the HP Officejet 4500 Wireless setup wizard. I think it is rejecting my passphrase because I don't know how to do upper and lower case on the OfficeJet 4500's keypad. I have one uppercase letter in my passphrase. Does anyone know how to do upper and lower case on the keypad of the printer?
Re: upper case on HP Officejet 4500 wireless keypad
Hi cptx,
I believe it is a multi-press like the "old" way to text on cell phones. It should cycle through all characters for that key. It might be easier to install it via USB, then convert it to wireless. Check out the "Set up Wireless (802.11) Connection" section of this document: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01991120.pdf.
Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.
Re: upper case on HP Officejet 4500 wireless keypad
I was on the verge of tears trying to enter my WPA passphrase which included uppercase letters and numbers and I couldn't figure out how to enter both. Your answser has enable me to enter this passphrase. I am very frustrated. I installed a new router several months back and of course lost my wireless printer connection in the process. I am at wit's end. If this dosn't work, I will be forced to go to the library to print a document. I just wanted to say "thanks" for trying to help us non-technical folks out. I hope someone is there to help you if you ever need help. I wish you peace.

In a steel-and-lead-encased bunker 20 feet below the basement level of his house, a soldier waits for his final orders. On the surface, a plague ravages the planet, infecting over 90% of the populace. The bacterium burrows through the brain, destroying all signs of humanity and leaving behind little more than base, prehistoric instincts. The infected turn into hyper-aggressive predators, with an insatiable desire to kill and feed. Someday soon, the soldier will have to open the hatch to his bunker, and step out into this new wasteland, to complete his mission: Subvenire refectus. To rescue and rebuild.
The Remaining is the first book in the best-selling series, which tells a gritty tale of survival, perseverance and fighting to get back what has been lost.

"Is that all there is?"
I have never had any interest in the living dead. I have seen a couple movies which, in the end, seemed rather unimaginative in their approach to generating a reliable adrenaline rush and not much more. Still, though I clearly don't share it, I have always recognized that the topic holds an intrinsic fascination for many people beyond the simple shoot-them-in-the-head-and-don't-get-bitten basics of the genre, and perhaps I was missing something I simply had not connected with as yet. So when I saw "The Remaining" at reduced price, I decided to take the plunge and see if I could get used to the water.
Unfortunately nothing about this book gave me any reason to read another zombie thriller, whether it be the next in this series or one of the others which have been so successful lately. Even these supercharged hordes were not enough to make up for the fact that the scope of the plot and the action is so limited by the basic premise. Even when you add the presence of petty local war lords energized by the loss of societal structure, the possibilities of situation and character are sadly circumscribed. A writer, certainly a run of the mill writer, has very little leeway given the requirements of the genre. It is not a formula which encourages really interesting character development or a finely crafted plot.
I suspect that the real appeal of the genre lies in the question, "What would I do and could I survive," and I might be able to get caught up in that challenging world of the imagination if it were not for the fact that nothing about the story line is believable. Main characters make foolish decisions to provide a path to the next confrontation with the hordes or the thugs. Then the characters we are supposed to care about overcome the swarms in completely unrealistic action sequences because they must in order for the story to go on. And the story going on seems, really, to be the actual point of this particular book. It is short and ends very much in the middle of things in hopes that our curiosity will drive the sale of the next in the series. Is that all there is? No, no, there is much much more to come, but I am reasonably certain that none of it will be anything "more" at all. I'm out.
"Good straight shooting apacolyptic thriller"
Thank you Mike Naka for suggesting this. (This guy has the best reviews on Audible, worth checking out).
Nothing new here... just a well written end of the world thriller.
Like Walking Dead, the protagonist enters the zombie apocalypse after the world falls. Here the main character has been in an underground bunker for a month before coming out into the open. & like Walking Dead, the main bad guys are not the Zombies but bands of humans preying on one another.
I liked the take Molles had here where the zombies were almost still humans. They have working minds still and have the ability to think through simple problems. They use tools such as knives and hatchets & can still form intelligible thoughts.
I'm hooked for #2 in this series (cliff hanger ending alert).
"Fast, Low Intelligence Zombie - Damn."
Breaking the tradition of slow, ambling zombies who have lost all vestiges of the basic of thought patterns, D.J. Molles presents a force to be fearful of.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey through the wastelands of what used to be the US of A. But, what makes this romp even better is the superb narration of Christian Rummel. The speed of his narration, tone, and voices make this book even better.
I'm definitely buying the other books in this series.
I like Jack Reacher style characters regardless of setting. Put them in outer space, in modern America, in a military setting, on an alien planet... no worries. Book has non moralistic vigilante-justice? Sign me up! (oh, I read urban fantasy, soft and hard sci-fi, trashy vampire and zombie novels too)
"Better than expected, except for how it ended"
I will start by mentioning the thing that bothered me the most about this book: it just stops. Reading along and... suddenly it is over. There was no real indication that there was an end coming up. Doesn't mean that it was not a logical place to stop, just that there was no real build up and denoument that lead me to think the end of the book was coming.
Other than that, it was a reasonably well-written zombie novel. Yes, it works with the standard clichés and the characters are pretty run-of-the-mill. But there is some satisfying vigilante action, some zombie action, and some militant faction action.
What more do you want from a short and quick read? It ain't literature folks, it's a zombie book. And a relatively well written one for that. I will read more in the series.
The narration is good, there is some swearing, no sex and the violence isn't graphic.
"Different Twist on Zombie like infection"
I have not even finished the 1st book yet but it is very good. I like how the infection is Zombie like but the infected still have some intelligence. Cheracters have good development and the story flows very well; keeps you on the edge of your seat.
I don't think I have heard Christain Rummel before but he did very well.
The book has a lot of suspense and keeps you wondering what's going to happen next. I particular moment in the book that really got things moving was when Lee decided to leave the bunker.
Post Apocalyptic fanatic!
"More More More"
I'm an AVID listener to this genre. This series is one of the best. Great narration and overall great experience. Can't wait for #5....
"Falls short of expectations."
Not much forethought put into this book. For example. A perfectly usable, well stocked bunker is considered a total loss and abandoned because a few feet of burned 2x4's are stacked over the man-hole entrance. I've happily cleared worse than this simply for minimum wage. Yet peoples lives are on the line and no attempt is made to gain entrance to life saving supplies.
The actual writing and performance are not bad. The story lacks imagination and is very weak and very lazy.
The scenario has potential and the book starts off great. It falls completely flat after about an hour. It's missing so much of what I wanted to see in a survivalist book. ie: details and realistic solutions to problems.
It ends very abruptly in a "to be continued" manner. Persuading the listener to buy the next in the series.
I will not be pursuing this series. Book 1 was enough.
I'm obsessed with audible
"Horrible: Didn't finish"
Mild spoilers but I couldn't finish.
I don't understand the high rating. There were continuity issues. Lee is not believable as a military officer, nor is the premise itself believable.
We meet Lee in his underground bunker waiting to hear from a government official. He doesn't, and 48hrs after not hearing he has to open a secret file that describes the situation that got him sent underground until further notice. It's a virus that has spread. If he's reading this then the government is gone/infected and he's supposed to emerge from his bunker in 30 days and restore order and help survivors.
LEE IS STUPID: First of all. Lee is all scared and anxious about not hearing from his contact. Then after he reads the file, he thinks it can't be that bad. He doesn't obey the order to wait 30 days to exit his bunker and goes out to explore only to get stabbed in the leg right on his front door step by a crazed infected teen aged girl. Stupidity alert!!! The first of many. Why would a highly trained officer get so antsy and not obey orders and then bumble immediately into danger.
INCONSISTENCY IN STORY: The next day he decides to check on his neighbors. Through a window he sees their teen age daughter laying on the couch. He takes of his mask to knock on the window to get her attention. Then the father appears, crazed and infected, and he has to shoot him several times and then he mentioned breathing harshly through his mask. HELLO! He took it off! Which was soooo stupid in the first place. He knows the virus is highly contagious.
I didn't buy that this one dude was supposed to come out of his bunker and restore order to the chaos. I didn't buy that his underground bunker wouldn't include cameras to monitor the house and the perimeter. There are evidently other guys like him in bunkers because he emails a guy to ask "is this real" before he leaves the bunker, but there'e no other coordination or anything. If him or other guys like him were our last hope at restoring order, then I assume they are screwed.
Christian Rummer is great as narrator though. As usual.
Excellent story and narration. Compels me to keep listening.
The main character, Lee, is the guy I'd like to be: Competent, but not perfect. Morally sound, but confused by overwhelming events.
Lee's initial exit, but I don't want to spoil things.
I roll through audible books, and have heard lots of narrators. This one is superb. He can effect lots of voices, including womens' and girls', and it's like listening to a play.
Since discovering audible, my life is richer. I live in a small rural KS community, with higher than average IQ which can be a bad combo at times. Audible allows me to be myself.
"Much More than a Zombie Book"
I know this will sound crazy to "non zombie lovers" but this is the first zombie book that I could actually believe. I do like end of world novels and they are all good in their own way, but this author has added a twist to the zombie scenario that makes this a "could happen" saga. If you have any interest in end of world and/or zombie novels I would highly recommend this series. I ended up listening to all four novels on audible in a little over a week, I found it very difficult to shut off, that to me is a good indication of a great story line. The only thing I really didn't like.....book 5 is not out there yet. You won't be sorry you tried this book out. Caution - rated R

Best Buy Co. Inc. said Thursday night that an unspecified problem prevented it from fulfilling a very small percentage of online orders during Thanksgiving weekend and the following week.
The Richfield-based retailer said it will not be able to process some of its online orders by Friday, including some made the day after Thanksgiving.
The company said the issue affected less than one percent of orders, which doesn't sound like a whole lot. But the time period includes some of the year's busiest online traffic, including Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Total online sales from Nov. 24 -28 totaled $3.5 billion, according to comScore.
Best Buy said it will offer e-gift cards to affected customers.
Here's the full company statement:
Due to overwhelming demand of hot product offerings on BestBuy.com during Thanksgiving weekend and the following week, we have encountered a situation that affected redemption of less than one percent of our customers' online orders during that timeframe. The challenges related to this situation are being addressed. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused, and are providing e-Gift Cards to the affected customers.

Not sure why he would do it. His WRs are pretty solid - except Ward who will be once Ben R returns.
He should not downgrade at RB in order to barely affect his WRs. For you it is a pretty fair move.

The book lacks GPS coordinates and locations of sights are not clearly indicated and this book alone would not suffice to locate them. It is a well written guide, but the book clearly needs an overhaul of the travel section. It is not up to par with other Bradt guides and the guide certainly has a more dated feel than the date of publication suggests.
I really don't think that there could be a better guidebook about this Country.

Samsung revealed its next-generation Galaxy S4 smartphone yesterday. Ars Technica has the goods on the new Android flagship, which seems to be more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Although thinner and lighter than its predecessor, the S4 accommodates a larger 5" display. The Super AMOLED screen boasts a 1080p resolution that works out to an impressive 441 PPI. However, this is a PenTile display, so there are fewer red and blue subpixels than there are green ones. The Verge says the PenTile subpixel arrangement isn't an issue given the high resolution. The viewing angles are apparently great, as are the colors. And the capacitive touchscreen works if you have gloves on, too.
Beneath the screen sits Samsung's own Exynos 5 Octa SoC, which boasts a whopping eight processor cores. Four of the cores are based on ARM's Cortex-A15, while the remainder are derived from the Cortex-A7. The former are there for speed, while the latter run at a lower clock rate and are more power-efficient. Not all regions will get the octa-core processor, though. Some versions of the S4 will be equipped with a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro chip from Qualcomm.
The SoC is connected to 2GB of LPDDR3 memory and up to 64GB of flash. Just like on the old model, the back panel can be popped off to access a microSDXC slot and the removable battery. I'm not seeing any claims about the device's run time, but the included battery is rated for 2,600 mAh.
As one might expect, the S4 can connect to pretty much any wireless network you want. The rear camera has more megapixels than the Galaxy S3's (13, up from 8), and the operating system is Google's latest: Android 4.2.2. Samsung has layered its own TouchWiz UI on top of Android's default theme, and it's also added some new software flourishes.
A new series of "air gestures" allows you to manipulate the interface while hovering your fingers just above the display, which seems a little gimmicky but might come in handy if you're halfway through a bag of Cheetos. The air gestures reportedly work better than Smart Pause and Smart Scroll. Those features are designed to pause video when your face turns away from the display and scroll content in response to tilt input. Smart Scroll was rumored to employ eye tracking, but Ars says it actually uses a combination of "facial recognition and the physical tilt of the device."
Samsung's own product page calls the S4 a "life companion," which seems a bit silly but strikes me as fairly accurate. The handset has an integrated pedometer that provides exercise tracking via S Health software. There's also an IR blaster that will let you use the thing as a universal remote. Accessories abound, too, including a separate S Band exercise tracker and an Xbox-inspired game controller with dual analog sticks.
Overall, the S4 device seems to be more about little tweaks than big changes. Android aficionados can expect the new Galaxy to hit multiple worldwide markets in the second quarter of the year. I almost bought an S3 last summer, and I'd be tempted by the S4 if my contract were up in the coming months. However, I'm a little leery of buying into a TouchWiz-infused Android device. Samsung doesn't have a great history of promptly updating devices when fresh versions of the OS are released, and so far I've preferred Google's new software to Samsung's S-branded add-ons.

Peter S. Temes is president of the Antioch New England Graduate School and formerly head of the Great Books Foundation.

He lives in Fairfield, Connecticut.
Against School Reform (And in Praise of Great Teaching)by Peter S. Temes
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
In the midst of the continuing controversy over the right ways to bring change to American schools, Peter Temes's book is a firebell in the night. In Against School Reform Mr. Temes sets out a straightforward prescription for our schools which centers on the life of the individual teacher and rejects the billion-dollar school reform industry. He argues that enormous monies and millions of hours of effort have gone into reforming American schools in the past ten years, and we have precious little to show for it. As we enter a critical period in American history—a growing population, an uncompromising demand for well-educated workers, and the complexities of world politics impacting ordinary people every day—there is not more time or money to waste. In Mr. Temes's view, great teachers are the secret to making better schools. Forget the macro issues of school reform, he advises, and focus on recruiting, retaining, and supporting the very best teachers. Teaching will once again become an elite profession, and school problems will go the way of the trolley car. Against School Reform digs deep into the qualities of great teaching, with stories from real schools and with practical advice for parents, teachers, and students who want to celebrate and support great teachers. It also takes a serious look at what our schools must do to recruit and reward the best teachers in the coming era of teacher shortages. Finally, the book celebrates the power of individual teachers to make a difference in their schools and communities, as forces for bottom-up change. More tests won't fix our schools, Mr. Temes writes. Bigger, better ideas about education won't fix things either. But great teachers can fix our schools, one classroom at a time.

This book says what few others have - - that what's best about schools that work is the teachers. They need support, and protection from the school-reform racket. Lots of big ideas here, from Plato to Dewey, but the core is common sense.

JUSTIN Bieber was left distressed after his laptop was stolen at a gig a couple of nights ago.
The Never Say Never star was on stage in Tacoma, Washington, when a thief raided his tour manager's office, reportedly taking the computer and his camera.
Hours later an alleged nude picture of Justin emerged on the internet but it is widely thought to be fake.
The person in the photo has the same tattoo as Justin, a tiny bird on his hip, but his face is not shown, leaving many thinking it could be doctored.
Justin tweeted: "Sucks when u take personal footage and people dont respect your privacy.
"Yesterday during the show me and my tour manager Josh had some stuff stolen. really sucks. People should respect other's property.
"I had a lot of personal footage on that computer and camera and that is what bothers me the most. #lame #norespect."
It is unclear if anything else was taken.

The film takes place aboard a train; Mahler and his wife are both travelling on board. The trainride sees Mahler indulge in a number of flashbacks and nightmares, all of which provide the vehicle for Ken Russell to divulge the more salient episodes of Mahler's life. Among these are his childhood artistic inspirations, the rocky relationships he had with his wife & family and the unfortunate but infamous encounter he had with the emperor of Austria.
As a biography of a composer, this one does not rank up there with "Amadeus," "Immortal Beloved" or Richard Burton's "Wagner." However, it does do a credible job of engaging some of the more memorable epochs of his life, as well as his incessant infatuation with death. There are also some intentional anachronisms, such as his "meeting" with Cosima Wagner.
Far more important though, is the introspective look which the movie offers on the isolated existence of a tormented genius. The continual anguish of this friendly, misanthropic megalomaniac is felt throughout. Someone once asked Mahler, "How could a man as kind-hearted as you have written a symphony so full of suffering?" "It is," replied Mahler, "the sum of all the suffering I have been compelled to endure at the hands of life." Such is the theme of this movie. Such was the theme of Mahler's life. It is a theme sometimes gruesome, sometimes hauntingly beautiful, and always gripping. See this movie, and hear the theme for yourself.
A convalescing Gustav Mahler (Robert Powell) ponders his life while on a train trip with his wife Alma (Georgina Hale), who is having an affair with a military officer. While it covers certain events from his life, including the misery and tragedy of his childhood, the film's real strengths derive from its more fantastical aspects. Russell examines the composer's psyche in some bizarre, anachronistic, and sometimes darkly humorous vignettes, some of which have to do with Mahler's Jewishness in anti-Semitic "fin de siecle" Austria. Some highlights: Mahler debasing himself to prove his worthiness to a B&D clad Cosima Wagner during the musical number "Jewboy," sung to a very familiar tune by her husband; seeing his own funeral with Nazi pallbearers, a nude Alma frolicking to the playfully nightmarish Scherzo from his own Seventh Symphony; and his own frolics with what appears to have been his true love, Death.
Despite being the protagonist, Mahler is not completely a hero. Russell also examines Mahler's autocratic attitude towards his wife's composing, culminating in her burying her own compositions. The music selected for this scene is not by Mahler, but rather a Wagner piece with a very appropriate title. Perhaps this explains Mahler's phantasmic vision of Alma frolicking at his own funeral; does Russell have Mahler realize the delusion of consigning Alma exclusively to the role of muse, rather than leaving her to define herself as another creator?Read more ›

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5 Twitter Inc said Wednesday it will acquire Namo Media, a technology firm specializing in "native advertising" for mobile devices.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Namo Media said in a blog post that its technology would be rolled into MoPub, the ad serving platform that Twitter purchased last year for more than $300 million.
The combined platform would improve the social media power's ability to deliver "native ads" - promotional material that blends into mobile apps and mobile websites.
"We share a vision for how native advertising can improve the state of mobile app monetization for marketers, app publishers, and users," Kevin Weil, Twitter vice president of product, said in a blog post.
