A recent poster appeared at the Jawaharlal Nehru University calling for Freedom for Kashmir and Palestine, signed by the Democratic Students Union (DSU). Although the poster was removed by security soon after it was reported, students say that such posters emerge frequently at the start of sessions.
The poster was noticed by students on the wall of the JNU School of Social Sciences' block who then alerted the administration.

"Freedom for Kashmir! Free Palestine! Right to self-determination long live," said the poster.
Times of India quoted a student affiliated to a Left group, but not from DSU, as saying "The poster has been there for three-four days. But this is nothing new as such posters from DSU keep emerging at the start of sessions."

According to a senior JNU official, the putting up of such posters is a pattern at JNU which is aimed at creating ruckus and vitiating the academic environment.
Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya and others involved in the anti-nationalism and sedition charges last year over protests against the hanging of Parliament attack mastermind Afzal Guru were a part of the same group the Democratic Students Union.

The past couple days has brought it to my attention, AGAIN, that it sucks to be a girl. I should have been a boy or a droid, even. I'm pretty sure my femininity card has already expired or been revoked and the rest of the equipment is just sitting around getting dusty. Seems a bit of a waste at times.
So, I'd like to trade in my 1982 model for something a little less problematic. Everything would be as it should be, easy to maintain, nothing out of line. I feel like I've discovered that some contraption I've kept in my attic for years, unused, has suddenly begun to break. It's really not fair.
But for now, I'll make due with what I have got, which appears to be in ok, if somewhat cantakerous, working order.
Now, I'm going to go back to bed, snuggle in my blankets, and maybe cry a little. Is that a cuddle craving I feel? Damn.
"If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine"
--"Extraordinary Machine"- Fiona Apple--
(If you're any fan of Fiona Apple, flock to her new record! FLOCK!!)

The time now is 10.20 pm
Posted on August 6th, 2009 by Lilian • Filed under: Life and rants
I am sooo sleepy.
I want to go to sleep.
But I have an advertorial to complete tonight
I want my mommy……
Give me a bottle of Nescafe on IV, please
And this Streamyx speed is driving me insane
It took me so long to download some photos for my advertorial
I got a new aircond today but the weather played me out and the temperature is already so cold minus aircond
(and hor, this is my cheque from Malaysia's best-est ad company. and hor, I have to pay income tax and so do you for these sort of income, ok?)
I am seriously thinking of subscribing to DIGI mobile broadband so that when Streamyx screws up, which they do very often, at least I have another broadband to rely on
I notice I can write, crap, blog better when I am not sitting at my desk at home
Maybe I should also get a netbook or whatcallit those tiny laptop, complete with mobile broadband
Wuah, then, I can squat under the trees at Kampung Buah Pala and update from there. Right now, I am using my handphone and it is so hard to type using the QWERTY keypad under hot sun cos I can't see due to glare
Yeah, talking about that, folks, please pray for peace, for wisdom and for hardened hearts to soften
I don't care what gods you believe or pray to, just send some good vibes, ok
The villagers have until 12 noon on Friday to say 'yes' or 'no'
Oh yeah, send good vibes to me too, please. Just in case….
7 Responses to "The time now is 10.20 pm"
*send good vibes*
You lucky, feeling sleepy, I cannot sleep, aiyah….
Anyway, here's my prayers to the people of Kg.Buah Pala….
*Nam Mo, Nam Mo O Mi Toh Fut***Ping ping ann ann****
All will work out peacefully and nobody gets hurt tomorrow…..
Hmmm, just read Anil's blog….he highlighted some very "fishy" matters concerning Kg.Buah Pala's land transactions….anyway, not much can be done now….just hope for the best outcome with no blood shed…
toolan – BUT from day one I have already been putting millions of video that there is something fishy! Why now only you realised after reading Anil's blog? You are very puzzling lah. First, you don't know Hishamuddin is the Home Minister and Muhiyiddin is the DPM and also Education minister. Now, you seem to like never watch any of the videos I made on Buah Pala and all those posts that I had been trying to explain the situation. Then, why you bother to leave comment lah. *strangles self with mouse cable and swears to close comment totally*
Apa Nama – You got read LKS's blog post? Someone asked me why I never spare two condoms LOL along with the gas mask. (actually, I never bring those lah, just for fun only) I wanted to reply but sked LKS not used to my style of talking.
Eh, that figure in the cheque is exactly my monthly contribution to EPF. *Must buy KTM* (As usual 10% winning to you).
3868, 3868, 3868
Shoot only lah, Who cares what LKS thinks! wtf!!
If the Streamyx speed is driving you insane already.. Just to remind you dont expect much on the wireless broadband things..as long as you are in Malaysia.. all the broadband connection really sucks! From Webbit, Maxis, and now i'm using celcome usb modem wireless broadband.. sucks! syiok syiok can msn, syiok syiok login also fail.. haii sienz..
LOL….sorry lah, not that I did not get it from your blog, just did not comment only on those that were featured here. Just like this "fishy" business I read from Anil's blog, I did not comment in his blog but commented in yours loh…so when I read yours I commented on other blogs mah…..spread the message mah…Anil's got some figures this time anyway which is good to know also lah…
Then I also thank you for updating my CPU(my brain in case you misunderstood me)on Hisham and DPM mah, my CPU still holding grudges on Hisham when he was the Edu.Minis mah….

Our team of volunteers provides services to those struggling with a pregnancy or postpartum mood disorder through the Helpline, professional training, our resource list and website.
Our Mission
With our assistance, new parents are getting the help they need sooner, which decreases the likelihood of long-term effects of untreated depression, anxiety, trauma or grief. We are also decreasing the likelihood of needing a higher level of care by letting parents know they are not alone. This past year, we have assisted 200 callers in the Twin Cities Metro Area in need of connection to services.
If you are a parent seeking more information or support, or a health care provider, or service organization serving new parents, we provide resources that promote emotional well-being for new families.
Families & providers may use the PPSM Support & Resource HelpLine at 612-787-PPSM (7776) or email@example.com for information and resources specific to your needs. Calls are answered by mental health professionals, and phone support is provided by trained peer volunteers. Please do not email the general email for requests for services, this email is for general questions about the organization, request for trainings, requests for helpline cards.
The PPSM Resource List provides names and contact information of mental health providers who have extensive training in perinatal mental health.
We also welcome your involvement. You may choose to become a member, volunteer, or give a donation. All are ways that you too can promote emotional health for new families in Minnesota.
Margret Mead states that we should "never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has." Our small group works hard to create change, to remove the stigma from Maternal Mental Health, and to provide healthier lives for the mothers, fathers and families who are afflicted with pregnancy & postpartum mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs).

Since the beginning of the 1980s, privatization has become a surge rather than a choice to Africa whereby its rejection has been deemed as infringement and anachronism no matter how immature the essential economic and social preconditions and inept the host governments bureaucratic institutions have been. In simple terms, privatization,like other impositions, has become a serious challenge due to the bullying nature of the international financial institutions/donor countries. Impossible to ignore, however, is that Ethiopia has unwaveringly stood against some of the tenets of privatization despite the West's stringent preconditions for aid, assistance and loans. This book, therefore, provides a clear picture of the challenges, achievements and weaknesses of the Ethiopian privatization program in terms of transparency, valuation, proceeds, FDI, pace and sequence, retrenchment, etc. The ideas are important to the IFIs, and to organizations committed to employees' purposes and development issues.

Salman Khan is not new to controversy. While talking to media in June about the wrestling shots in Sultan, Salman had said he had to pick up a man weighing 120 kg almost 10 times for five different camera angles. According to the actor, this routine went on for six to seven hours. "It is like the most difficult thing," he said. Salman, explaining what it was like when he walked out of the ring after the hectic shoot schedule, said, "When I used to walk out of that ring, it used to be actually like a raped woman walking out." This created an uproar and National Commission for Women demanded Salman's apology for the comment. Photo courtesy: Google search
Salman Khan has been found guilty on all charges in the 2002 hit and run case which led to the death of one person. The verdict is finally out and Salman Khan has been sentenced to 5 years in jail. Image Courtesy: Image Procured via Google Search
In over 13 years so far, Salman Khan has spoke about the hit and run case for the first time. The actor went on to narrate his version of the infamous 2002 hit-and-run case in a court. Image Courtesy: Procured via Google Search
Salman Khan went on to reportedly claim that he was not driving the SUV that ran over people sleeping on a pavement in Mumbai, it was his driver Ashok Singh who was driving. Image Courtesy: Procured via Google Search
In the latest development of the blackbuck case Supreme Court has rejected the Rajasthan High court order that had put a stayed on Salman Khan's conviction in the blackbuck case. Due to this Salman Khan might have to go jail for five years!
Salman Khan's NGO 'Being Human' was recently held a fashion show in Mumbai. In the fashion show, few models were seen wearing dresses which displayed "Allah" written on the bottom half of the dress. A case under section 295 (A) was booked after the president of All India Qaumi Tazeem, Mohammad Asim Ali lodged the complaint against the actor saying that this action hurt religious sentiments.
In another blow to the Salman hit and run case, all important papers and diaries pertaining to the case mysteriously disappeared. But now, sources have revealed that the papers have indeed been found. Image courtesy: Procured via google search.
In a sudden twist to the hit-and-run case,the three key eyewitnesses told a sessions court that they saw Salman Khan getting down from the driver's seat of an SUV. Taking us back to the 12 year old accident that happened on the night of September 28, 2002. Image Source: Procured via Google Search.
Another development to the hit-and-run case, saw that one of the key witnesses to the case involving Bollywood actor Salman Khan went on to alleged that he was receiving "threat" calls. These calls were asking him to accept Rs 5 lakh for "staying away" from the case.Image Source: Procured via Google Search.
Trouble seems to be on its way for Salman Khan again as the actor has been charged for culpable homicide not amounting to murder in 2002 hit and run case. Though the actor has pleaded not guilty, his next hearing will be August 19. Image Source: Procured via Google Search.
Salman had spent 17 days in jail for the incident. He clarified later that he was not driving. Image Source: Procured via Google Search.
In 2002, Salman Khan was accused of allegedly running over five people, killing one and injuring others on a Mumbai pavement. Image Source: Procured via Google Search.
Salman had allegedly indulged in the poaching of chinkara, during the shooting of 'Hum Saath Saath Hai in Sumrasar and Bhirandiara villages. Image Source: Procured via Google Search.
However, the actor was granted relief when Supreme Court ruled that Salman will not face trial in the case. Image Source: Procured via Google Search.
Salman has now launched a website. The site salmankhanfiles.com has details about all the legal proceedings currently underway against the actor. Image Source: Procured via Google Search.
Earlier, Hrithik had got upset with Salman after the latter commented about Hrithik's film Guzaarish. Image Source: Procured via Google Search.
Their fight started with Salman's debut movie Maine Pyaar Kiya, after Subhash Ghai supposedly made an ugly comment against the former. Things took an ugly turn after the duo allegedly got into a fist fight. However, they patched up. Image Source: Procured via Google Search.
The duo were said to be having coffee together at a cafe in Bandra, when they entered into a heated argument and in the fit of rage he slapped Katrina, however, Katrina later denied the incident. Image Source: Procured via Google Search.
A fisherman has lodged a police complaint against Salman. Trouble began when the actor purchased couple of properties in Bandra and since then, his bodyguards have been threatening the fisherman as their fishing nets were blocking the sea view. Image Source: Procured via Google Search.

Stephen Furnival, who runs the HoneyChild Manor Farm on Romney Marsh, said he was "absolutely delighted" with the news and hoped life would soon be "back to normal".
Mike Vallis, general manager of Chessington, said the park's petting zoos are still closed as a precaution, although the rest of the complex remained open.
Since August 3, there have been two confirmed outbreaks of foot and mouth on two farms in Surrey and 576 animals have been culled.
But Dr Debby Reynolds, the Government's chief vet, said the risk of the disease spreading outside the infected farms and the Pirbright laboratory in Surrey was now very low.
As a result, restrictions on movement of animals were eased last night to allow livestock to be moved around a farm within a 3km radius.
This will allow farmers to move cattle from one field to another, or move them to a shed on a different part of a farm for milking.
If there are no further cases, livestock markets could be reinstated in September, and the UK declared free of foot and mouth by November.

"I have been working with Houshang Amiri since 2003. During this time I have won nine National titles."- Brian Cowie
March 29, 2011
Pacific Cycling Centre athlete, Erinne Willock, placed an impressive fifth in the final GC at the Sam Dimas Stage Race last weekend.
Willock, racing with TIBCO/To The Top, was very happy overall with her performance in the race. "I'm happy with my results and the way I felt. I was only one second off of 3rd on the time trial which is a hard spot to be in but that also tells me my fitness is good."
The Redland Cycling Classic is the next race for Willock. "With a good weekend of racing under my belt I'm now in the town of Redlands resting and getting ready for the race that starts on Thursday. I think we'll be able to improve on that 5th overall from last week and we'll have a strong team here for Redlands. The courses are good and hilly so I'm looking forward to that."

Operations Manager
***This position is not currently open. But we're always looking for smart people to join our team. If this job description sounds like you, send us your application anyway.***
The Operations Manager is a service-driven, detail-obsessed, hands-on doer whose mission is to create an environment where everyone can do their best work, using:
- Efficient execution of the operational processes that keep the company running
- Amazing facilities that attract and enable people who do great work
- Standards of service that help us deliver extraordinary service at scale
- Proactive problem-solving, anticipating needs, and making everything better
- Care for our team, customers, and partners
You get things done efficiently, consistently, and reliably, even when it's chaotic and changing. You work with the team to get the work done, while taking accountability for quality results. You overcome obstacles and stick with it until it's done. You use our tools and systems to make it easier. You own the details and take pride in having everything under control.
You make it better by constantly improving the way we work. You have an eye for what's missing or could be improved — and you proactively do it. You help people before they even ask. Every day is an opportunity to raise standards. You're not happy until it's excellent.
You're driven by service to the team, our customers, and everyone we meet. You're invested in the success of others and you win by helping others win. Every interaction is a chance to make a friend or make someone's day a little better.
You enable us to fulfill our mission by helping everyone do their best work. You spend your days improving our workplace and removing anything that stops people from working at their highest capacity or creativity.
You'll be on a great team
This is the perfect job if you love being in a hands-on operations/administration role on an entrepreneurial team that appreciates you. You're a member of the Operations Team, a tight-knit group that works together and wins together. Every day is a close collaboration with a positive-energy crew that achieves great things as partners. You'll never be just "the back-office person" — you'll be a full member of the core team, with a voice in how we work. This is a collaborative, inclusive company where everyone works together.
If you geek out about the things that make a business run smooth-as-butter, you'll love it here. This is your chance to join an incredibly talented, passionate, and fun team that loves this stuff as much as you do.
You'll do all those things that make a company a great place to work
As Operations Manager you'll be responsible for a wide range of projects that are the backbone of an excellent organization. There are those things that just need to get done well — you'll work with the team to make sure they happen week after week. You get them done by bringing together smart systems and the right people. You'll know everything that's going on, and you'll thrill everyone with your competence and charm.
- Environment and facilities: Ensure that our environment is optimized for a high-performing, pleasant workplace. Everything is in the right place, working, and ready to go. Manage organization, setup, and quality of offices, common spaces, and amenities. Manage our facilities, vendors, and contractors.
- Experiences: Create a concierge-level experience for staff, visitors, and inbound request (phone and web). Create an internal meeting experience that maximizes productivity, communications, and comfort. Optimize remote collaboration to create a seamless inter-office culture. Set and meet exceptional standards of service, track all interactions and ensure a great experience every time.
- General operations: Drive general operational support for all teams, always improving our standards of service. Ensure excellence in purchasing, fulfillment, special requests, and unusual situations. Make sure everyone has everything they need to do a great job and uphold brand quality — and balance that against efficiency, saving money, and reducing waste.
- Event support: Run production operations for our major customer events and internal events. Coordinate between the Events Team and the Operations Team.
- Constantly improving everything (kaizen): Proactively look for opportunities to make things work better, and integrate those improvements into our systems. Anticipate needs and find opportunities to raise the bar. Identify and fix anything that stops anyone from working at their highest capacity or creativity. Look for someone who needs help — even when they don't ask for help.
You'll work with the admin team and other Operations Managers to deliver all of the above.
About you
You are a friendly obsessive who thrives on being needed and keeping many balls in the air at once. You are strong, solid, the linchpin of the company — the glue that holds it all together. You're a hyper-organized, hands-on doer that's done a little bit of everything in a complicated workplace.
You have a positive attitude dedicated to service through amazing support and administration. You're a detail-obsessed perfectionist who loves to take a complex process and get it done exactly right, every time. You communicate well, and you want to be part of a fast-moving team that needs your help to make our customers incredibly happy.
You'll need to be a confident individual who can work with processes and systems that stabilize an ever-changing job. You're the type of person who recognizes where things can be improved and takes the initiative to improve them. You have exceptional organizational skills, the ability to perform smoothly and consistently in a fast-paced environment, and the grace and willingness to change direction when circumstances demand.
We're looking for a fundamentally positive person who thinks this kind of work is fun:
- 5+ years experience in a similar role in a high-velocity workplace dealing with complex, rapidly changing priorities
- Sleeves-rolled-up, hands-on doer
- Owns a problem until it's right
- Definitely looking for a long-term role in operations/administration/support
- Insanely organized and can handle multiple complicated tasks simultaneously, with strong prioritization and planning skills
- Strong communicator, writer, and explainer
- Obsessive attention to detail
- Amazing organizational skills (physical and virtual)
- Deeply competent with office tech, desktop software, SaaS applications — and quick to master new applications
- Flexible and adaptable. You love the chaos and randomness. You keep your cool under changing conditions. You love a job where things get screwed up and you get to fix it.
- Awesome attitude, positive vibe, good cheer, and great sense of humor
Some important details
How to get this job: Submit an application here. We want to see a great cover letter, resume, and anything else that shows us how you write, think, and work. Show us what you've done and how you can do it for us. If you're not sure this is the right position for you, please do apply anyway. We'll help you figure out where you fit on the team.
Location: This is a full-time, in-the-office position at our Austin ranch (check it out here). No relocation assistance is provided, and we don't hire telecommuters.
Compensation: We offer good pay, plus great benefits, perks, and bonuses. We're never going to have an IPO or sell out to a bigger company — we're in this for the long term. Financials are transparent, and we all succeed together.
This position is currently filled, but we're always accepting applications here

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob GoodlatteBob GoodlatteLawmakers reintroduce online sales tax bills Senators push 'cost-effective' reg reform Rob Thomas: Anti-Trump celebs have become 'white noise' MORE (R-Va.) said Sunday that his panel will hold hearings on the Voting Rights Act following last week's Supreme Court ruling that struck down a central portion of the law, but said there was no guarantee of legislation.
"We will hold hearings on this next month, we will look at what the Supreme Court was talking about in terms of old data, we will look at what new data is available, and we will make sure that peoples freedom to vote in elections in this country is protected," Goodlatte said on the CNN program "State of the Union."
In a 5-4 decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Supreme Court struck down a formula used to determine whether state and local governments must get permission from the federal government before changing their voting laws.
The court's opinon argued that the formula was outdated, throwing it back to Congress to update the criteria.
But efforts to revise the statute face large hurdles.
President Obama criticized the court's ruling and House Democrats met last week to discuss ways to press for renewing those voting rights protections.

*nods sagely* The ultimate drinking wisdom...or is 'the ultimate drunken wisdom' more appropriate? And even drunk, Sig is still looking out for Jak. I laughed at Torn trying to be smart and getting shot down. Jak's unconcious delirium inspiring wisdom is amazing.
| Random chapter 1 . 10/24/2009
Loved it to pieces! : ) A wonderfully polished jewel of a story, I don't think I can even put an adequate name to the feeling it gave me... Like butterflies fluttering in my stomach, funny and, somehow, a bit sad. And wise. What Dax said about Jak is very simple, minimalistic even, but absolutely true. It was like... the essence of what Jak is - and forgive me if I'm fumbling for words. It's just that at the exact moment I read it, I realized how accurate it was. Jak really is the kind of guy who goes against all odds, no matter how insane it seems or how dim are the chances, and every time you think "that's it, now he's done for", always manages to turn the tables in his favor. That line even gave me a slight chill.
And as always, your grasp of the language and characters is above perfection, everyone sounds and acts exactly as they should, even though they're drunk! (won't you share the secret of how you could pull it of? Pretty please? I won't tell, honest!) Your J&D stories are the best I've seen on FF net, keep up the good work!

interesting story, jak passed out drunk, daxter speaking philosiphies (sp?) all in all, i laughed my ass off.
| Lachivo chapter 1 . 7/5/2009
Very calm and serene atmosphere. One of the advantages of fan fiction over regular novella writing is that environments and characters does not need much description. We know them already. This story is based mostly on undertones, and I think that is great. It could have been anyone in those chairs, but as it just so happened, it was guys we knew. And lo, the reader read the skill of the writer, and he was humbled.
| East-Coast-Invictus chapter 1 . 7/25/2006
-gigglesnort- I could just see all of them sitting there, drunk, half-coherent, and talking about glasses half full. Personalities to a tee very original idea no grammar or spelling mistakes I can see An all around good, entertaining, and perfect fanfiction. -thumbs up- Muchos kudos. It was a pleasure to read.

Brilliant. Sheer Brilliance. That's all that comes to mind. Completely origional idea, characters perfectly in character even in your own situation for 'em,- the whole shabang. HOW do you come up with this stuff? I applaud you!

I enjoyed reading this story. It has a tinge of humor to it, but it does really show how each of those characters react to situations. Very nice .

Why use Joomla
Joomla is a mature and well established CMS for building robust websites for businesses. It is ideally suited to businesses that require large databases and better performance than what is available with WordPress.
Whereas the performance of WordPress sites tends to degrade rapidly as the websites grow, Joomla has the ability to handle larger databases and websites with less degradation. That makes Joomla a great option for projects that have outgrown the WordPress CMS platform. In addition, Joomla has more structure than WordPress, making it very robust and extremely reliable.
Joomla arrived on the scene in 2005 and covers the middle ground between WordPress and Drupal. While WordPress is the Toyota of CMS's, Joomla would be more like an Acura; a little more refined and capable. It is well suited for small to large business. Unlike WordPress, Joomla was developed from the ground-up to be a platform for creating websites.
With the additional flexibility and capabilities of Joomla comes more complexity and Joomla requires some degree of technical knowledge and capability. It offers some of the ease of use of WordPress while delivering some of the power and flexibility of Drupal. Yet, it is not for the novice person nor the person that does not want to spend a few weeks learning how to properly develop a website with Joomla. When developing a website with Joomla things have to be done as Joomla expects them to be done -- and the methods are often not intuitive.
With that said, Joomla provides a front-end for publishers and contributors that is intuitive and easy to use. It is as easy for a user to add articles and edit articles with Joomla as it is with WordPress. However, the articles take on a website flavor and not a blog flavor. The Access Control List (ACL) that controls what privileges a user has is stronger in Joomla than in WordPress.
While WordPress sites tend to have a familiar look and feel, Joomla websites tend to have the look and feel of traditional hand-coded HTML and CSS sites. Whereas the "look" of a WordPress site depends upon the Theme, Joomla makes use of Templates. Unlike WordPress Themes, Joomla Templates have per-defined positions that allow for a great deal more flexibility in layout than does WordPress Themes. Joomla provides the ability to override templates in a manner similar to child themes in WordPress. There is also much more flexibility in the placement of Joomla Modules than WordPress Widgets.
Extensions are the Joomla equivalent to WordPress plugins. While all add-ons in WordPress are plugins, Joomla has three categories of extensions; Components, Modules, and PlugIns. Plugins are quick and easy to develop. Components are the most difficult to develop and Modules fall in the middle.
The Joomla core and extensions are developed using OOP (Object Oriented Programming) and MVC (Model, View, Controller) technologies. These technologies require a more structured and disciplined approach to programming and web development than the procedural and functional based programming used in WordPress.
Major improvements have been made in the recent releases of Joomla with many more in the pipeline (known as the Joomla road map).
Joomla has language support built-in and is much better than WordPress if you need a website that supports multiple languages.
Like WordPress, Joomla provides an easy 5-Minute install and one-click installation of updates and extensions.
WordPress can be installed alongside Joomla on a website and you then have the best of both worlds; WordPress for blogging and Joomla for all else.
How to recognize a Joomla site:
Search the source code of a webpage for the text string "/templates/". This is the Joomla directory where templates and their associated files are stored.
Search also for the word "generator'. You will often find a line like:
<meta name="generator" content="Joomla! - Open Source Content Management" />
Note that this line is a Meta Tag that is found in the top, or header, portion of the webpage between the "<header>" and "</header>" tags.
A technique that will work on most Joomla sites is to attempt to login as a user. At the Home Page of a website with a URL like "http://thatwebsite.com" append "/administrator/" so that you have "http://thatwebsite.com/administrator/" and then press the Enter Key. If you get a login screen, you are looking at a Joomla site.
Joomla is used all over the world to power Web sites of all shapes and sizes. Joomla is an excellent choice for:
Small business Web sites
Community-based portals
Complex business directories
Custom product catalogs
Event Calendars
Membership Rosters and Portals
Corporate Web sites and portals
Corporate intranets and extra-nets
Online magazines, newspapers, and publications
Online reservations
Government applications
Non-profit and organizational Web sites
Reservation systems
Rental Systems
Property Management
School and church Web sites
Inventory control systems
Multiple Languages
Multiple Access Levels and Control
Many large companies will use WordPress for a blogging platform while having their primary website on Drupal, Joomla, or some other platform. Facebook is one such company. In some cases, the blogging platform is on a Intranet and for employees use only.
Here are some companies and organizations that use Joomla:
- Hendersonville Chamber of Commerce
- Hendersonville Lightning News
- Harvard University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (Educational) -
- The Alliance for Catholic Education - University of Notre Dame
- The Hill (U.S. Congress)
- IT Wire
- United Nations Regional Information Centre for Western Europe UNRIC

In 1995, 3,621 people died on Britain's roads compared with 3,650 in 1994. While this is again a record low since statistics were first collected in 1926, the very small reduction suggests that the figures are bottoming out at a level which the roads minister, Steven Norris, said still means "nearly 10 people a day are dying in road accidents". Between 1989 and 1994, deaths went down sharply each year, reducing from 5,373 to 3,650.
Provisional figures issued in March had indicated a slight increase in the number of deaths, but the Department of Transport said yesterday that these earlier figures had been based on inflated estimates in some areas. Serious injuries were down by 2 per cent to 45,523, while slight injuries reduced by 1 per cent to 261,362. In 1987, the Government adopted a target to reduce road casualties by one-third from the average during the 1980s. While this target has been met for fatalities and serious injuries, slight injuries are 8 per cent above the baseline figure.
Pedestrian deaths went down by 8 per cent to 1,032 and pedestrian casualties decreased by 3 per cent. This is partly explained by a reduction in walking revealed in other surveys as more and more people use cars even for very short journeys.
The number of cyclists killed on the roads rose to 213, an increase of a quarter on 1994, but this may be explained by an increase in the number of people using bikes. It is still well below the early 1980s average of 312.
The end of the declining trend has led the Government to launch a hard- hitting campaign against speeding motorists, who are thought to be responsible for one-third of road deaths.
However, there was criticism yesterday because the Department of Transport has decided to stop issuing quarterly statistics on road casualties "because of financial cutbacks".

By next summer, equipment will be placed on New Jersey beaches that will enable scientists to study beach erosion patterns, allow emergency management personnel to plan for evacuations during coastal storms and let people use the Internet to see what the waves look like.
The equipment, which will be installed at three as-yet-undecided locations on New Jersey's 127 miles of beachfront, will be purchased with a $175,000 grant from the state's Department of Treasury to Stevens Institute of Technology's Davidson Laboratory.
The information will be used by engineers on beach restoration projects, as well as emergency management personnel who will be able to see if a barrier island is about to be breached by waves or a shore area is likely to be flooded, said Thomas Herrington, research assistant professor at Davidson Laboratory.

Sharing Their PA-rspective
Pace Physician Assistant students Dominique Sisto '14, Amy Rosentel '15, and Megan Greger '15 talked to high school students about careers as a physician assistant at Harlem Village Academies Career Day.
Written by Pace Physician Assistant student Megan Greger '15
Harlem Village Academies Career Day
We met with high school students and explained the physician assistant career including the education process from high school until admission into PA school. We answered questions about what PAs do, where we work, and what fields we work in. We also showed students some of the instruments we work with. We explained tuning forks, and allowed the students to try them by placing them on each other's heads and next to their ears to hear the vibrations. We brought reflex hammers and showed them reflexes they had never seen before, like the ones in the arm. They also enjoyed playing with penlights and seeing the direct and consensual pupillary constriction. One of the big hits was the stethoscopes, as the students were able to listen to their own and their friends' heart beats.
Many of the students were unaware of the PA profession and were fascinated by what it entails. Several of the students were already interested in medicine and thought that this might be the career for them.
Katie Dubeil, who orchestrated the event, told us that our table was one of the most popular ones. According to Katie, one student who has many difficulties in his home life was truly amazed at what he experienced.
"I was able to hear my own heart beat for the first time! That was so cool," he said. Katie was happy to see this student so excited. He stated that he was afraid of medicine when he first sat down, but after 10 minutes his mind had changed.
This was definitely an amazing experience that has allowed us to bring the PA profession to a new generation of students.

Cherries are hand picked by the smallholder farmers that are members of the cooperative. After harvest the coffee cherries are hand sorted to get rid of unripes and overripes before the cherries are delivered for processing. A traditional disc pulper separates the skin and pulp from the parchment coffee. The parchment coffee is fermented under water for 24-36 hours, depending on the weather conditions. After fermentation, the coffee is washed and graded in washing channels in two different grades, based on density, before it gets soaked under clean water in tanks for another 12-24 hours. This lot is of the best grade which consists of beans of higher density. After washing, the coffee is sun dried for 10 – 15 days on African drying beds.

Excellent article traces the rise in tDCS interest. Includes many of the key players and links to important research papers. Do DIY Brain-Booster Devices Work?
I explore how a carefully controlled lab procedure got out to the masses. #tDCS https://t.co/jKambHRWtE
— Esther Landhuis (@elandhuis) January 10, 2017
Update 2/17/17 BBC The strange Victorian fashion of self-electrification
If you've been following along very closely you may recall that podcast episode #6 guest Anna Wexler mentioned in passing that she had been researching Ye Olde practice of therapeutically applying current to various parts of the body. Well, an early version of a new paper of hers landed the other day: Recurrent themes in the history of the home use of electrical stimulation: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and the medical battery (1870–1920). It's behind a paywall but here are some highlights.
@DIYtDCS Also: the full patent file for that image is here: https://t.co/vvqp8sQfuC … other interesting images there too
— Anna Wexler (@anna_wexler) December 3, 2016
Lots of 'medical battery' patents here.
And a ton of wonderful images to be found in books in Google's digitized library.
Most of these came from a single book!
Anna Wexler writes about her recent paper in Slate.
Last month, the FDA held a public workshop on this topic. (I spoke on one of the panels, though I have no financial interests in these products.) Based on the discussion paper released ahead of the workshop, it seems that the agency intends to regulate these devices—it just hasn't quite figured out how to do so. But although the FDA may have the expertise to regulate these devices, the idiosyncrasies of medical device law—namely, the complications regarding "intended use" claims—may not make this the best option, especially given the recent entrance to the market of devices that make no claims at all and instead bill themselves as "direct current sources." The situation may require a novel solution—such as collaboration between the FDA and CPSC or the involvement of a third party, such as the National Academy of Medicine—to ensure the construction of a coherent framework that best encompasses devices on the market now and anticipates the complex issues that may arise in the future.
Source: How Should We Regulate Those Brain-Zapping Gadgets That Promise to Boost Your Memory?
This is an incredibly well-researched paper. All the nuance of FDA regulation around tDCS and similar devices is made clear. I've been picking away at trying to understand this myself, but had become extremely frustrated by the complexity and opacity of FDA jargon and legalese. Anna has collected all the relevant facts and applied them very close to home citing specific devices and situations the DIY tDCS crowd will be familiar with. Anna Wexler is the author as well of The practices of do-it-yourself brain stimulation: implications for ethical considerations and regulatory proposals (gated) . She spoke to myself and at least a handful of other reddit.com/r/tDCS contributors for that paper. In both papers she lays out a very sensible approach to regulating tDCS, or rather, not regulating it. Stating that there is already a body of relevant law stemming from various government agencies (in the U.S.) that could be called upon to regulate tDCS device use as needed.
This paper contributes to the literature on the regulation of consumer brain stimulation devices in the USA by providing a fact-based analysis of the consumer tDCS market and relevant laws and regulations. In the first section, I present a short history of the DIY tDCS movement and the subsequent emergence of DTC devices. In the second and third sections, I outline the basics of FDA medical device regulation and discuss how the definition of a medical device—which focuses on the intended use of the device rather than its mechanism of action—is of paramount importance for discussions of consumer tDCS device regulation. I then discuss how both the FDA and the courts have understood the FDA's jurisdiction over medical devices in cases where the meaning of 'intended use' has been challenged. In the fourth section, I analyse the only instance of tDCS regulatory action to date, in which the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) forced a firm to recall several hundred consumer tDCS devices. Although there exists a common perception that the FDA has not been involved with the regulation of consumer tDCS devices, the California case demonstrates that the CDPH's actions were instigated by an FDA engineer. Finally, I discuss the multiple US authorities, other than the FDA, that can regulate consumer brain stimulation devices.

A pragmatic analysis of the regulation of consumer transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) devices in the United States
From a list of abstracts posted by the NYC Neuromodulation Conference. As I understand it, researchers were encouraged to submit abstracts which would then be considered for 'fast-track oral presentation' I quote an excerpt from a paper by Anna Wexler (
@anna_wexler) entitled: Understanding the Practices of the Do-it-Yourself Brain Stimulation Community: Implications for Regulatory Proposals and Ethical Discussions. Check out the link below to read the entire list.
I argue that to better contend with the growing ethical and safety concerns surrounding DIY tDCS, we need to understand the practices of the community. This study presents the results of a preliminary inquiry into the DIY tDCS community, with a focus on when and how DIYers draw upon scientific literature and established scientific standards. Analyses are based on open-ended, in-depth interviews with DIYers (as some members call themselves), extensive observations of the main online forum where members communicate, and analyses of videos, websites, and blogs related to DIY tDCS. I show that when making or acquiring a device, DIYers produce, document, and share their own body of knowledge. In contrast, when applying tDCS, DIYers draw heavily on scientific knowledge; where scientific literature is lacking, DIYers experiment and extrapolate. When testing the efficacy of tDCS, DIYers using tDCS for therapy largely rely on subjective feelings, whereas those interested in cognitive enhancement often attempt to mimic the quantification used in scientific studies. I conclude by discussing why it is crucial for neuroscientists to understand how their unintended "second audience" utilizes their research.
