Obviously, it is the responsibility of the authority of the day to educate its subjects and give them a solid stratum on their history, culture and tradition. The most appropriate tool to achieve this, in a modern and civilized world, is to teach them their actual socially related subjects and history. This would give the student a wide view on the social affairs of his/her community and enable individuals to strengthen the good qualities of their cultures and traditions and amend the negative ones. Hence, considering the role played by the post independent governments of Somalia, in educating the Somali students, we can conclude that it was, socially, incomplete and a failure.
While preparing to write this essay, I interviewed civil servants, from the old generation, who are now between 70 and 90 years old, and came to know that, in 1950s, history of Somalia was taught in schools. However, after 1960, the subject was tacitly removed from the school syllabus. WHY? Before answering this question let us say that in 1960s students were taught civics. We were taught, also, the value of a government and the public patrimony. I remember there was a lesson in which a student was caught engraving his name on a desk. He was politely made to understand and realized that there were other students who would come after him and will use the desk and that it was wrong for him to engrave his name on that desk, since it was not his but a public property, which would be used by many other students after him. Lessons like this taught the pupils the value of public property. After the 21st October 1969 revolution civics was substituted with Socialism "Hantiwadaag" and Revolution related lessons "Kacaan". After the 1991 uprising and the fall of the Somali government entire residences and government properties were destroyed, looted and claims like "Anigaa xoreyste!!" i.e. "I liberated it –so it is mine" became very common.
In my opinion, without true and solid social education, what came out were waves of Somali intellectuals who are scientifically prepared but ignorant in civics and their own history and culture. If we take Kenya as an example, here one is not ashamed if called by the name of his/her tribe, Mikel Mkikuyu or Ali Mdhigo. Here the students are taught the histories, the traditions and the cultures of the various Kenyan tribes like the Mijikenda, the wa-Kikuyu, the wa-Kamba etc. However, in Somalia, students were, vaguely, taught the history of Imam Ahmed Gurey, and Mohamed Abdalla Hassan and stress was put on their wars, respectively, against the Ethiopian Emperors and the 20th century colonialists. Only after 1991 did we start hearing about various Somali sultanates, most of them unknown in the literature and historical books of the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries.
Consequently, the first question a Somali intellectual could asked himself/herself is "Why were we not taught our history, whatever type it may be, and instead were taught the history of the Roman Empire, Roma and Cartagena, first and second world wars, American, China and India histories etc? I am not saying these are not important but why our history was neglected? Are we ashamed of it or were the authority ashamed of it? Did we not have history at all? Was there something that we should be ashamed of and are trying to hide it from the world. We were only taught something about the relationship the Somalis had with the ancient Egyptians. And that Somalia was called Land of Punt. Later I came to know that there was a dispute about the true nationality of Ahmed Gurey and the real location of Land of Punt. So, almost all what we were taught about the history of Somalia was not based on proved and solid facts.
What is said above does not mean that there are no documents on Somali history. There is, relatively, a very rich literature about the Somali culture and tradition with the only inconvenience, to the Somali people, that it depicts them as nomads, pastoralists, intelligent, brave, warriors, idle and with nomadic civilization and culture – embarrassing descriptions for the modern Somali who likes to see himself/herself modern, civilized and highly intelligent. So, after the independence this rich literature was silently removed from the school shelves and only few scholars were aware of its existence.
If the literature were not abandoned because of the above-mentioned reason what could be the other reason? What would have been the consequences if these literatures were taught at schools? What impression would these have had when taught to a class composed of students from urban and nomadic society? How would a pupil from nomadic society see himself/herself in front of the urban one? How would be the conscious of a student from nomadic origin, if he/she becomes an authority, knowing that the towns, especially the Banadir ones, he/she is ruling are the product of the work of a community he/she doesn't recognize as true Somali i.e. the towns representing his/her image in the world were not built by his/her ancestors?
Someone may argue that to teach the history of Somalia would mean to teach about the Somali tribes which could have had a negative impact on the Somali politics and development. The question is "Has the Somali politics ever been rid of tribe and tribalism? One thing should be clear, tribalism is a bad thing and is against Islam and human value but tribes are created by Allah who says "We created you populations and tribes so you know each other" and no one can wipe out completely Allah's creation. To deny people their history, whatever type it may be, is to deprive them their identity and if an authority keeps its subjects ignorant of their history and their identity the result would, surely, be what we today have in Somalia.

As you may have noticed, activity on Art Sponge has slowed down over the past few weeks (months?) and the reason for that is simply a lack of effort on my part, faced with other growing priorities and parallel personal projects. Letting the blog die however has never been an option I've considered though, and I do intend on reviving things here in some form or another—I just need some help.
Without going into many details about how I envision the future of Art Sponge I'd like to make an open call to any Berlin-based creatives interested in working with me to provide new content for the blog. I'm very open to new ideas and would love to discuss new ways of developing this blog!
All I ask of anyone interested beforehand is that you be based in Berlin, speak English and/or German and have preferably relevant experience in blogging, visual art curation or something of the sort. This isn't a call for an intern: if we're on similar wavelengths and we find collaborative potential, the blog will gradually become your online channel to showcase art and design which inspires you, your own personal projects and hopefully local talents as well.
If interested please send a few words about yourself, what you think you could contribute and maybe an idea of something you'd see yourself working on with the blog (no need to be too serious).

Australia wing Drew Mitchell scored two tries as the Barbarians beat South Africa 26-20 at Twickenham on Saturday to end a disappointing year for the world champions.
Peter de Villiers' men were outplayed and out-run by the Barbarian entertainers who thrilled the crowd with four tries in all, the other two coming from Australia full-back James O'Connor and South Africa-born Italy international Quintin Geldenhuys.
Odwa Ndunganem, Bakkies Botha and Bandise Maku scored tries for the Springboks, who won just once in this year's Tri-Nations and saw their hopes of a 'grand slam' ended by a shock loss to Scotland at Murrayfield last month.
"The Barbarians side was full of world stars mainly from Australia and New Zealand. There's no disgrace in losing to a team of that quality at the end of a long, hard season," said the under-pressure de Villiers.
"The boys gave it everything and we were strong at the finish so I am not too unhappy. We now need a long break. The guys have been through a lot this year and are naturally pretty tired."
South Africa captain Juan Smith insisted: "It was tough out there. But we have no complaints. We wanted to finish with a win but we just fell short."
The Barbarians were coached by Nick Mallett, the former South Africa turned Italy boss, who was delighted by the outcome.
"This is the kind of performance the Barbarians are about - plenty of skill, flair, effort and tries.
"South Africa had a young team out there but they were still strong and looked a quality side. It's testament to the strength in depth they have in South African rugby."
Barbarians captain Matt Giteau, the out-of-favour Australia back, added: "You don't have much time to prepare with the Barbarians but we enjoyed it."
South Africa made twelve changes to the team which beat England 21-11 at Twickenham a week earlier, with captain Smith, veteran lock Botha and Lwazi Mvovo the only survivors.
In the traditional spirit of these occasions, the Baa Baas turned down an early straightforward penalty opportunity and opted for a scrum.
Their five minutes of constant pressure, and refusal to accept any potential three-point gifts from the referee, paid off when Mitchell finally broke through the green wall to score the first try.
The Boks showed no such desire to reject penalty chances when their rivals were penalised 30 yards out but directly in line with the posts, with 20-year-old fly-half Elton Jantjies calmly kicking his side's first points.
The Baa Baas were made up of six Australians, six New Zealanders, and one each from South Africa, Wales and Italy. So there was plenty of edge in the contest, especially from the Antipodeans.
And it was one of the Wallabies who dived across the Bok line for the second try of the game 17 minutes into the first half.
The ball was moved swiftly across the line to the left with New Zealand centre Ma'a Nonu's flighted pass finding O'Connor, who went over unchallenged before converting his own effort.
Two Australia internationals then combined when Adam Ashley-Cooper set up Mitchell for his second try with O'Connor adding the conversion.
South Africa responded after the break with wing Ndungane intercepting Nonu's pass to run half the length of the field for a converted try.
The appearance of Tendai "Beast" Mtawarira helped the Boks push their forward rivals back a few yards in a real show of scrummaging power.
But the Baa Baas struck back with a move down the left which ended with replacement Geldenhuys barging his way over in the corner with O'Connor converting for a 26-10 lead.
Experienced second rower Botha then crashed his way over, and Maku did likewise in the dying seconds but it was all too little too late for the Springboks as they suffered their fourth defeat in seven matches against the Barbarians dating back to 1952.

Spotlight on Spend
Information on what East Lothian Council spends
Spotlightonspend is an online service, giving you information on what East Lothian Council spent on works, goods and services bought from suppliers in the last financial year.
The website is run by Spikes Cavell, a private company that classifies our payment data into clear and consistent categories that we think makes our spending information more accessible.
As with any classification, we are aware that some expenditure can end up in categories that people didn't expect. This is likely to happen when where we have bought more than one kind of item from the same supplier. Despite this, we think that this method of presentation provides you with good quality, easily accessible information on Council spending.

By Kevin Davies
September 28, 2010 | Illumina CEO Jay Flatley can have few regrets about his decision to acquire Solexa for $650 million in late 2006. The acquisition complemented Illumina's existing platforms in genotyping and gene expression. The introduction of the HiSeq 2000 at the beginning of 2010 and its rapid uptake by BGI (137 instruments), the Broad Institute (51), and others, is further validation of the lasting power of Solexa's sequencing technology. Flatley predicts that BGI will match the capacity of all the U.S. genome centers combined by the end of 2010. "That has very interesting implications," he says. "We're encouraging the U.S. centers to continue to scale up—it's in their best interests and ours for them to keep up."
Flatley was first in line when Illumina debuted its Individual Genome Sequencing Service (IGS), which currently costs $9,500-19,500. He told Bio•IT World he was reluctant to devote too many Illumina resources scouring his own personal genome, but two colleagues spent the better part of two months on it. "The analysis side of the human genome work is trailing significantly behind the systems technology," he said. "We're still very much at the infancy of trying to understand what the genome means. There is a lot of work required to ferret out what's real and what's not."
Flatley says he's generally healthy and didn't encounter anything "revolutionary" in his genome, but the triage process left him as a confirmed carrier of variants in 11 Mendelian disease genes. "They were mostly interesting things I'd never heard of, like Hawkinsinuria and Alagille syndrome and familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome."
Of greater concern were dozens of false positive variants that Flatley and colleagues found, particularly with regard to the Human Genome Mutation Database (HGMD) "because of what are really errors in the database," said Flatley. All 16 of Flatley's homozygous putative "disease-causing" mutations were discarded, as were more than 75% of the heterozygous variants. "Most of them fell out because they were very bad conditions and it was clear I would have died as an infant if I had those!" he said. Cleaning up such errors will take years, he says, "but we can't do that obviously until we sequence lots of people. So it's sort of a chicken-and-egg situation."
Flatley's personal experience convinces him there is a "dire need" to improve the state of the mutation repositories. "I think it's a fantastic opportunity for some new start-ups to go after. There are so many dimensions to this: How do you store this information? How do you interface it with the physicians? What can the physicians see? How do you protect the consumer from the physician getting things you don't want them to see? There's so much infrastructure required here, not only to do the analysis but also to be able to present it and have the physician interact correctly with the consumer."
"It's an enormous opportunity and one that Illumina needs to help enable in order for us to continue to do more sequencing. It's not something we feel we need to own, but we need to figure out how to enable."
Among the first 14 genomes sequenced by the IGS were those of film actress Glenn Close, whom Flatley calls "the first woman who has had her genome done at full coverage." Illumina also sequenced John West's family; a couple of cancer patients; an infant that suffered from autoimmune disease, and a couple of centenarians. Since announcing a recent price drop, Flatley said there have been several clinical requests (priced at just $9,500), although Illumina does not always accede to the request, for example, if it does not judge the disease to be chronic. There hasn't been much promotion for the IGS because of the desire to get the infrastructure running, troubleshoot the pipeline and understand potential ethical or privacy challenges. "A lot of questions did come up and we had to resolve them along the way," he says.
Illumina provides the genotyping platform for the leading consumer genomics companies. "Our view is that people do have the right to their own genome information and we need to trust the fact that people can do responsible things with that information. In some ways, it's analogous to the first amendment. It's like telling people they can't read books because they may react in some way to a particular book and they can't have access (to it)."
But Flatley does favor greater regulation. There are three categories of markers in consumer genomics and they may end up being treated differently, he says.
While the FDA seems unconcerned by ancestry traits, on the other extreme there are markers for drug response and pharmacogenomics, which might benefit from greater analytical validation. "I think that's appropriate and all the [consumer] companies agree with that. We're beginning to work on ways to effect that."

The boom in natural gas production across the US has created more and more ways to turn that natural gas into a competitive advantage. Whether it be chemical manufacturing, LNG, or transportation fuel, one thing is for certain, we are a long ways away from hearing the end of this story. For investors, though, determining which companies will come out on top of all this natural gas euphoria is a different story. Can Dow Chemical (NYSE: DOW ) maintain the competitive advantage of cheap feedstock? Or will LNG exports make first mover Cheniere Energy (NYSEMKT: LNG ) a top stock?
Tune into the video below where fool.com contributors Tyler Crowe and Aimee Duffy take a look at Dow, Cheniere Energy, and Clean Energy Fuels (NASDAQ: CLNE ) and determine which of these natural gas consumers is the best buy for investors, which one may be a little over hyped, and which one you might want to wait to see how the cards play out.
Of course, users of natural gas are not the only stocks that are looking to profit in a big way from the shale revolution. One behind the scenes energy company is making the entire industry better at finding oil and gas, and pulling in a hefty profit from theeir services. In fact, the outlook for this company is so bright our Chief Investment Officer has named it "The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2013." Let us help you discover how this game changing company is transforming the industry by checking out our special report. You can get free access to this valuable report by simply clicking here and find out the name of this under-the-radar company.

We are sitting on about one Gigabyte of data from NATO now, most of which we cannot publish as it would be irresponsible. But Oh NATO....Hi NATO. Yes we haz more of your delicious data. You wonder where from? No hints, your turn. You call it war; we laugh at your battleships.
"NATO strongly condemns any leak of classified documents, which can potentially endanger the security of.." RLY. Guess what we did NOT leak?
We Are TURKIYE. We Are AKINCILAR.This logo suits you more..How dare you rise against to the World..Do you really think that you are Ottoman Empire?We thought you before that you cannot challenge with the world and we teach you cannot be socialNow all of you go to your doghouse..
Anon+ will be a social network system based on peer to peer (p2p) connectivity using encrypted torrents as the means to hold profile data. There will be a central web site from which you can download the software, and it will also host the system's secure databases (which keeps track of who is friends with whom and other back office stuff).
quote: Massive internet censorship, monitoring, no quasi-anonymity, logs required, ISP=police.Thank you Anonymous, you made the world a better place. Americans are more free then they ever were!
quote: Then you've got people on the right that think they've got it all figured out - it's the government, democrats and taxes, and we need more guns, loads more guns!
quote: But can you honestly claim that Anonymous is to blame for all those things you mentioned?
quote: That's kind of like blaming a store clerk for rape because he said something mean earlier in the day to the person who actually raped somebody.
quote: I don't agree with what some members of Anonymous have done
quote: Once again, Jason Mick, defender of hackers and illegal activities cometh.
quote: Yes, yes we can. Why can't you? This is the world we live in. If you go around committing international cyber-terrorism, you damn sure have to know what the response to that is going to be.
quote: Equating rape to a law enforcement measure to protect against hackers is especially off-putting.
quote: Some" members? As if there is anything redeeming about any of these people.
quote: I've said it once and I'll say it again -- there's nothing inherently illegal about hacking
quote: Oh come now. You're really living in your basement in terror of Anonymous because they leaked some "classified" NATO document on information service efforts in the Balkans? Really?
quote: You and the original op can claim they were somehow the result of Anonymous, but that's patently false. Anonymous didn't exist when the laws passed! C'mon now.
quote: Again that just conveys your lack of understanding of the group. It's essentially like a forum. Just like you wouldn't do some things other DT readers might, some members of Anonymous would never do the things these members did.
quote: We're not speaking in the abstract here so I don't know why you continue to try and make this point. Breaking into secured networks and stealing data is most certainly illegal. Call it hacking, call it whatever you want, but stop saying it's not "inherently" illegal.
quote: LOL and again, you just can't help yourself from making excuses for them whenever you can. How does the severity of the crime matter? No I'm not living in fear, so what? That doesn't make what they are doing okay.
quote: No, we're not claiming that at all. Now who's putting words in peoples mouths? We're just saying, don't start crying when these policies get extended or they use these rampant hacks by Lulz and Anonymous to take even more freedoms away from us.
quote: That just doesn't cut it. They are accessories, plain and simple. Since you used rape, I'll use murder. If my friend blows someone away and I drive him around all day while during and after he's done it, well that makes me an accessory. I don't get a free pass just because I didn't pull the trigger.Guilt by association, ZERO tolerance. These people are dangerous, and it's time to stop treating them like just some misguided youths who are being "foolish" just having a good time.
quote: If they can do this to secured government websites, how in the hell does an average Joe stand a chance? If they decide to target individuals who have made their list, for whatever reason, who can stop them?
quote: These hacker groups are the grey goop of society that are trying to change how the world should think in their own views.
quote: Maybe, but this insinuates we aren't already in that situation. We don't really live in a free society when an enormous chunk of the worlds mainstream media is owned by a few massive transnationals that own corporations in so many conflicting fields it's almost a crime (in my own personal view, that is).

A responsive toolbar for Drupal 8
A little history
The Spark team's main goal is making the experience of Drupal content creators both effortless and flexible, regardless of whether they're on a desktop or a smartphone or something else entirely. The key to this is responsive design, and right now, the core Drupal toolbar is not responsive:
Any effort in Drupal 8 to create a responsive administration experience must address the design of the core Toolbar.
For more than a year many members of the Drupal community, notably Lewis Nyman and Roy Scholten, worked steadily toward a design of a responsive toolbar and even prototyped possible solutions:
Their efforts informed the direction the Spark team's first designs for a responsive administrative toolbar, expressed through early versions of the navbar module in Drupal 7, which we brought as a functioning prototype to DrupalCon Munich:
Following discussions and BoFs in Munich that concluded with a general consensus for the design direction, we moved development to Drupal 8, in the pre-existing toolbar issue. A couple weeks later we proposed a preliminary patch meant to start a larger discussion and kick off a larger development effort. Following a third patch, Dharmesh Mistry and Bojhan Somers conducted usability tests comparing the current D8 toolbar designs to the D7 toolbar. Currently, the toolbar is undergoing active discussion, both on design and implementation details. Here's the toolbar in its current state, on both desktop and mobile:
I have followed all of those discussions closely. It has became clear to me that a successful responsive toolbar solution cannot simply be a mobile-specific solution. A successful solution must take the lessons learned from mobile-focused designs into account and fold them back into the desktop experience resulting in a truly responsive toolbar that can fluidly adapt to any device. In order to form an integrated small screen and desktop administrative experience, we must first understand the needs of the end user.
What are the users' needs?
One common way of describing the needs of a user is through the machanism of user stories, which help identify the features the solution needs to have to be effective. In the case of the toolbar, the primary users are the site administrator and the content author, so these stories are written from their perspective, but most apply to the site builder as well, particularly when that person is a new Drupal user.
Here, we'll examine some user stories around the toolbar, and illustrate how the current design satisfies those use cases.
"As a content author... I want to be able to manage my site on any device, and have my tools automatically fit the screen size."
We first needed to have the toolbar somehow collapse to a more manageable size for phones. To save space in the toolbar we reduced the number of items to three: home, menu and user and on phones, the labels are hidden. So now the content author has a compact top bar where they can log in, jump to the home page or open the entire admin menu.
"As a content author... I want to be able to create, find, and edit content I have created, on any device."
We needed to expose the shortcuts so the content author would have access to the "add content" and "find content " shortcuts. Inclusion of the shortcuts also partially solves for #11 because the admin can add more shortcuts.
(this design has not been implemented yet)
"I want the experience of finding, creating, or editing content to be similar on all devices so I don't have to learn something new."
We put the same vertical toolbar in place for all devices with the plan of adding additional flyouts for desktops where the user has "hover".
(this design has not been implemented yet)
"I want to have a clear understanding when I'm in the admin of where I am, how I got there, how to get back to where I started, and how to find what I need"
The biggest blocker to the user being able to orient themselves in Drupal has been a constant loss of context. Take the following example:
"As a site owner new to Drupal I want to add an image to the header of my site"
"I see a menu item at the top of my site that says 'appearance', images are part of the appearance, let me look there. Hm, themes, well I guess i'm in the wrong place, this lis for changing the whole site. Let's try content. This shows content that's already created, let's try this 'add content' link. Hm, 'article', 'basic page', this doesn't look like the place. How about 'structure'? Ok, 'blocks', 'content types', 'taxonomy', 'menus'. 'Blocks' maybe I can put an image in a block. Ok, 'add block'. 'Title', 'Description', 'Body', doesn't look like anywhere I can add an image. Maybe this is the wrong place. Let's try configuration. Here's something. 'Image styles', no, let's try 'image toolkit', 'Image toolkit is installed and working properly'. good to know. But where do I go to use it, 'Configuration'? Wait, am I in configure already? it's not highlighted. What's the breadcrumb say? Yes I'm in configuration. I think maybe 'blocks' was right, but was that under 'Content' or 'structure'. Let me just try help. Ok there's an image category. Hm, 'image styles' again, but how do I add an image? 'Attaching images to content as fields". That must be it.'...
The user here is doing what Jared Spool calls "pogo sticking"; returning over and over to the menu because they can't find what they are looking for, they don't know what category they are in, they don't know how to go one level up, and they can't remember what the categories contain.
When the entire menu is exposed to the user they can drill down without losing the context of the parent item, they can jump from parent to parent and see the children without a new page load and, if they drill down several levels deep then click a link the menu persists through the new page-load with an active trail. If this is not the page the user wanted the whole path they took is still visible.
(Incidentally the user story above can be accomplished in Wordpress in three clicks.)
"I expect the experience of using my site on touch devices to be similar to my experience of using other mobile sites i'm used to like facebook or twitter"
We used interaction patterns and visual affordances for mobile that are already becoming well established.
"As a site administrator I want to be able to jump quickly to a page I already know the location of without wading through menus"
We covered this with the "jump to" box (shown in the shortcuts design above)
"As a site administrator I want to be able to configure the administrative menu so that it fits my work process"
We are working on a horizontal version that will can be enabled on a per-user basis which would still responsively change to vertical on smaller devices.
"As a site administrator I want to be able to control what my content authors see in the administrative menu"
Drupal already covers this but we should spend some time making it easier to configure and providing an affordance for configuration right on the menu itself (not designed)
All participants in the tests saw significant improvement over the current toolbar and all saw the value of responsive design. Some of the feedback will be incorporated back into the designs right away such as:
- "Not enough affordance on the indentation of child items"
More space will be added to the left of the child container
- "Arrow affordance as a toggle to expand child items was not immediately discoverable"
Exploring other affordances/icons. A patch has already been posted on this and we are reviewing it.
- "edit shortcuts" was not discoverable. The new design above covers this.
The prototype can be viewed here: http://toolbar.qemistry.us/
And I have also made a video showing some of the interactions in more detail here: http://youtu.be/bVa5TqmnktI

Secret World of Arrietty and Raising Real Movie BuffsMike Adamick
Despite having all this week off from school, my daughter and I have yet to go see The Secret World of Arrietty, which was the one thing I wanted to do. I'm still not exactly sure what it's about, but if it involves little people living under the floorboards and comes from the same people that did Ponyo, then I'm all in. I can't wait.
And yet … I am. Waiting, that is.
It's just been one of those incredibly fun, busy weeks where we're having too much of a good time just messing around. But the theater beckons. I can feel it. It's calling to me, pulling at me, saying, "Over here. I have popcorn. Come sit down and take a load off."
I love movies and used to see just about anything that showed up, when I was young and single and had a ton of time. But now, with limited time to hit the theater, I have become much more critical, only going to those I think might actually be good. And when my daughter's involved, that critical component is multiplied to the 90th degree. I don't want her to watch all the crap that comes out — the sequels and prequels and obvious mind-sucking money trolls catering to those who have nothing better to due than be suckered in by the promise of CGI and to hell with the story or characters.
So I was pleased to see this essay in the National Catholic Register by Steven Greydanus, talking about how amazing The Secret World of Arrietty is and how … not awesome all those three-peat sequels are.
"What possesses parents to take their kids to a third Chipmunks movie? Did the first two really instill such confidence?"
Look, it's a small, First World Problem, I get that. And who am I to talk, considering I used to go see anything that came out? But is it possible — or even necessary? — to raise little movie buffs who demand better?
Now it's off to the movies, because I've got to see if the Secret World lives up to the hype.

Wii Party
What do you get when you mix the framework behind Wii Play with the concept of Mario Party? Right, Wii Party. After years of domination by Mario Party (read: after milking 8 games) Nintendo finally understood things had to change. One thing's for sure: the Wii again shows its reputation as party machine isn't unfounded. Whether Wii Party was a good move, on the other hand, we tell you below.
Invite some friends, make sure to have enough booze, and let youself go compltely with the many minigames and game modes in Wii Party. We actually don't need to give much more explanation about this game and honestly… not even the entire genre. But as we don't want to disappoint our loyal readers we'll give you a clear look at Nintendos latest party game.
After having put the disc in your Wii, host Wesley appears on the screen. This strange little man who talks like he's come out of a Sims game will give you all the necessary information. Each time you play a game for the first time you get a thorough explanation. All modes also show you the average time you'll need and when it comes to accessibility and clarity Nintendo is clearly on the right track.
The main menu divides the different modes in four blocks: Partygames, Duogames, Homeparty and Minigames. The latter of course take up a huge chunk in Wii Party and they work as a red line throughout the entire game. There are over 80 available, one more interesting and recognisable than the other. Unfortunately there's only a few that you were truly waiting for, but all in all they're catchy enough to not give up immediately.
Where the minigames take hardly any time, the party games do the opposite. One is on a board and the other on a globe and you simply roll a dice or take a card and try to achieve your goal as soon as possible. The minigames then set the order of the games. There's also a Bingo version with Mii faces and a reworked version of four in a row. The game that will no doubt interest many people is Carrousel. Spin the wheel and increase the jackpot but try to earn some money yourself by actually winning the jackpot. Who wins the jackpot depends on – of course – a minigame.
The Duogames are for up to two players and have three things to do. On the Balance boat you need to place 20 Mii characters without making it fall over. In Rendez-vous, an evolved version of Memory, you try to find two Miis with the same color. For those younger than 10 Connected Friends can be a good option. Here you each answer random question and then the game sees how well you fit together. We doubt the Wii is going to lose its name of "kiddie console" anytime soon.
When something is good, we of course have to mention that as well and that's the case with the Home Party games. Here you get 5 games where the living room is involved. The Wii Remote gets transformed into a time bomb which you need to handle very carefully, another game has you guessing from which Remote the right animal sound comes and then grab onto it like a maniac, or hide the Remote(s) in the room and have the others look for it. The latter sounds rather childish but that depends a bit on how you look at it.
Finally there's also the possibility to play all minigames seperately and you can do them all in a solo mission, or with friends in the shape of a tournament. And if you run out of inspiration regarding which one to choose, our Wesley is there to give you some suggestions.
Wii Party is a decent title but little more. It doesn't revolutionise the genre, the graphics can certainly do better on Wii, and we wouldn't recommend it if you plan to play it alone. This game comes to justice when playing with multiple friends, and in the end it's simple and clear for everyone.

He was rescued by a neighbour from a bad living situation and then started following me around the apartment block where I live and do maintenance. He wasn't allowed outside unless he was with me and the neighbour couldn't believe how he came to me whenever I called him, so she said I must be his new owner. I set everything up at my apartment for him and he just made himself right at home.

Research Interests
My group investigates hepatic immunity, focusing on the determinants of HCV clearance and liver disease progression. Existing studies of HCV clearance suggest critical involvement of strong T helper 1 (Th1) type T cell responses, effected by CD8+ T cells. The reason why so few individuals launch adequate responses is unknown. A fundamental deficiency is that determinants that polarize adaptive immune responses (along respective T helper pathways) are incompletely understood. An attractive possibility is that this originates in the innate immune response, which typically engages pathogens within minutes to hours of invasion. Along with collaborators, our group has demonstrated that certain NK cell inhibitory receptors (iNKR) significantly influence the chance of clearing acute hepatitis C. This discovery holds potentially exciting prospects for future HCV therapies.

READINGTON TWP. — A local equestrian is countersuing a woman who accused him of animal cruelty.
Cesar Parra, who is hoping to earn a berth on the United States Equestrian Team for this summer's Olympics, was charged in municipal court in March. The case was referred to the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office for further investigation.
On May 24 Hunterdon County Prosecutor Anthony P. Kearns III announced that the criminal charges had been dismissed and two civil charges were referred back to Readington Township Municipal Court.
Parra, 49, was charged after a complaint was made regarding an incident that occurred almost three years prior. Parra was accused by the SPCA of "torture or torment to a living animal" after a horse he was training was injured in June 2009.
"I was profoundly saddened by the tragic accident, which solely resulted from circumstances unrelated to my conduct and beyond my control. While working on the lunge line, this horse reared, fell, and hit his head. Lunging a horse is a very common procedure and on that day in June three years ago, there was no action on my or my staff's part that could possibly be considered atypical or detrimental to the horse. Regardless of a trainer's best efforts to ensure an animal's safety, accidents of this type can and do occur," Parra said after learning the charges had been dismissed.
Parra said he did not want to see the charges dismissed on a technicality, "I welcomed the investigators to come to my farm at any time, unannounced and see our day to day practices. I am very proud of our training and the care and consideration my team gives to each and every horse. I was deeply pained by these claims forth against me regarding the 'alleged torture and abuse' of a horse. I wanted a full investigation to clear my name and set the record straight," Parra said.
The owner of the horse, Trudy Miranda, is also suing Parra in Superior Court. That trial is scheduled to start on July 12.
Miranda filed suit in June 2011 against Parra, claiming Parra was negligent in the way he handled the horse and how he cared for him after the injury. On March 16, Miranda's motion to file an amended complaint was granted. The amended complaint adds that Parra acted with wanton disregard to the rights of others. She claims that the release she signed just before the incident is not enforceable due to Parra's negligence.
In April, Parra filed a counterclaim against Miranda and asked the judge to conduct a jury trial.
In the countersuit, Parra accuses Miranda of defamation, malicious prosecution and interference of contracts and more. According to the suit, Miranda used his client e-mail list to make false and defamatory statements. He is seeking economic damages because her actions allegedly caused him to lose clients. The suit says Miranda is trying to derail his efforts to make the Olympic team.
Meanwhile, Parra is waiting to see if he will be invited to compete in the selection trials to be held in Gladstone starting on June 8. Only 15 riders will be invited to compete. Invitations are sent out based on the national rankings of the horse and rider.
Parra competed on his potential Olympic mount, Van The Man, on May 25 in the last qualifier for the selection trials. Parra and Van The Man were ranked 18th going into the show but his score may have been enough to move him up. The new rankings have not yet been announced.
"I would love to represent the United States as a member of the Olympic team. I am hopeful that with Sara and Michal Davis' horse, Van The Man, we can earn a spot on the U.S. team," Parra said, adding, " I am grateful for the continued trust and support so many of my fellow equestrians bestowed on me during the difficult times of the allegations. And I am proud of the entire Piaffe Performance team. We have proved that together we can weather any storm and stay focused on the horses we love and the camaraderie that makes our team feel like a family". So with 100-pecent focus, Parra prepares himself and his riders for the task ahead of them at Gladstone in June.
Parra became one of Colombia's top international dressage riders and was named the Colombian National Champion multiple times. He competed in the 2004 Olympic Games and the 2006 World Equestrian Games for Colombia. In 2008 he became a United States citizen.
Last year Parra became the first Latin American rider to compete on a United States Dressage Team when he was on the gold medal-winning team that competed at the Pan American Games in Mexico.
Parra owns Piaffe-Performance Farms, with locations in Readington Township and Florida.
Parra had predicted that he would be cleared of the charges.

About Itembazaar.com
Itembazar.com Inc was founded in 2000 by then-college student Alex Tenenbaum. An undergraduate at John Caroll University (in Cleveland Ohio), Alex quickly realized an opportunity when his local college bookstore offered him a meager 15% return on his very expensive text books. The idea was born and from there, just like many start-ups, Itembazaar's headquarters became Alex's basement. For the next eight years, Itembazaar focused on selling new and used books, carrying over 5,000 unique titles at its highest point.
When Amazon introduced its Kindle E-Reader in 2007, the company quickly responded. The business model was changed, switching from books to video games and media, and the company continued its long path to success.
As the company grew, so did its inventory. A company that once sold just books now has a diverse selection in categories from consumer electronics and video games to home décor, baby products, health and beauty, sporting goods and much more.
Itembazaar continues to use its substantial industry knowledge to stock its warehouse with high-quality and highly-demand inventory. Itembazaar has grown from a one-person operation to having a staff of more than a dozen. Each employee brings highly-skilled knowledge to the team, with diverse backgrounds in business, engineering, marketing, the performing arts and computer programming. The staff continues to deliver innovative solutions allowing the company to flourish.
Itembazaar.com is a small company that cares about its customers. We strive to provide the best products at the very best prices. Our entire inventory is screened and tested by trained technicians to ensure the best quality. We work hard to make sure our prices are at a deep discount -- not our services!

The Lehigh County Republican Committee says it will not support a candidate for district judge who used a client's address as his own to skirt the state's residency requirement.
The Lehigh County Board of Elections ruled Magisterial District Justice candidate Joseph Maher illegally claimed to live at an address in the district where he wanted to run. According to the Board of Elections, the client alerted authorities to Maher's actions when she noticed his name on her UGI gas bill.
PA Election law requires that Magisterial District Justices must live in their respective district for at least one year prior to them taking office.
"From time to time, leaders are required to make difficult decisions in order to maintain the integrity of their organization. Since I have been Chairman, I have been an advocate for free market politics in Lehigh County by urging the LCRC not to endorse candidates during the primary elections.
However, I believe it is most important that we elect judges who have the highest moral character since they are charged with the responsibility for providing a fair and impartial courtroom within their respective election district. It is also incumbent upon us, as Republicans, to condemn any person who uses the Republican name and does not represent themselves or their candidacy with an excellent moral character. Therefore, I find that this is a rare circumstance in which it is my obligation to publicly support a candidate during a contested Primary Election," said Lehigh County Republican Committee Chairman Wayne Woodman.
Woodman said he will endorse Attorney Christy Schlottman who is the only other Republican candidate in that particular Magisterial District Justice race. Woodman says Schlottman has "a proven track record of excellent moral character and understanding of the law."

Coming of Age on the Streets of the Bronx
Photographer Stephen Shames began his project shooting on East Tremont Ave in the Bronx while on assignment for Look Magazine in 1977. The magazine went under while Shames was on assignment, but he continued with the project for two decades, sometimes staying on the block for weeks, sometimes visiting only once or twice a year. Accompanying the photographs is the riveting story of Bronx born Martin Dones, who Shames follows from childhood to manhood. Dones is an exception, a young man who manages to escape a violent life to successfully raise his own family. Dones offers his earliest memories of his life in the Bronx:
"My first memory is still as clear as a picture: my cousin being murdered. I didn't actually see him being murdered but I heard the thud of his body hitting the pavement. That death sound is the first thing I remember. Thud. I jump awake, startled and everybody is screaming. Years later I learn he was murdered because his brother robbed this gangs' little nightclub. Since they couldn't get the brother, they got him. He's tossed off the roof. His body has to clear a fence. They swing him so his body arks up and out, like a diver, before gravity carries it down to the schoolyard. The cops never caught them. The 135th Street Boys of the South Bronx did it, but we never found out for sure which ones. People said, "It was maybe him, maybe not, maybe this one, maybe not." The crazy thing is they all died eventually, one by one. Right after my cousin was thrown from the roof, other cousins torch my building. We escape as the third floor explodes and falls on the lower floors. The building whimpers, and then collapses. I stand in the cold and watch all of our stuff fly away. I'm sad. I got a new monorail track that morning for Christmas.
My mother's boyfriend is an alcoholic. They drink, party, talk and sing Spanish songs. Pretty much, they just drink and argue. And me, at age four, I just want to escape from the noise. I open the front door and walk out. Nobody even knows I'm gone. That's how drunk they are. I walk up, past the fourth, the fifth floor, up to the roof. Well, not the roof, because the door is locked. I go to the last step. Crunch into a little ball, lay down and try to sleep.
Another time, my mother pours lighter fluid on her boyfriend then torches the bed. My brothers and I try to put it out. He barely escapes with his life. One day my mom finds hickies on my sister's neck and chest. So my mother beats her up and then calls her father. He arrives from Spanish Harlem, takes an extension cord and wraps it up around his hand. I hear my sister screaming. He gives her marks all over her body. Shortly after that, he was shot six times in the hallway by his sister."
The electronic book Bronx Boys is available from FotoEvidence Press. The Ebook Bronx Boys has the look and feel of a physical book– the high-resolution images that can be viewed full screen, with a feature allows the viewer to zoom into details without loss of image quality. Most of the photographs in Bronx Boys are published by FotoEvidence Press for the first time.
