Historic Hanna's Town kicks off season with militia re-enactors, tea, tours
On a sun-drenched spring day at Hanna's Town, Tom Klingensmith of New Kensington listened to his captain, Scott Henry of Greensburg, explain the finer points of firing a smooth-bore musket to re-enactors of Proctor's Militia, the colonial-era citizen soldiers who protected the region's frontier from attacks by the British and Indians.
The sound of musket fire could be heard around Hanna's Town on Saturday as Klingensmith and about 10 colonial re-enactors fired their muskets for the crowds that toured the historical site during the opening day of the re-creation of Hanna's Town.
The village, in what now is Hempfield, was the first seat of Westmoreland County in 1773 and the first English court west of the Allegheny until it was burned in a British and Indian raid on July 13, 1782.
Klingensmith, who has been a member of Proctor's Militia since it was formed in 2007, said he has a special connection to those he is portraying because two of his ancestors traveled Forbes Road in the 1700s as scouts for Col. Henry Bouquet. It was Bouquet's victory in the Battle of Bushy Run in August 1763 that allowed the British to lift the siege of Fort Pitt during what has become known as Pontiac's War.
Henry, who said his ancestors fought with Proctor's Militia, became hooked on colonial-era history as a youngster when his grandfather took him to the site for a Civil War re-enactment. The militia, raised from settlers in what then was Westmoreland County, fought under Gen. George Washington in the American Revolution and persevered the bitter winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge, Henry said.
Re-enactor Michael Mongelli of Mt. Lebanon, who was dressed in the uniform of a sergeant in the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment, said he has been involved in re-enactments since 1986.
"I was interested in history from reading books, and the French and Indian War caught my attention," said Mongelli, 77, who owned a service station in Mt. Lebanon for 21 years.
One of the newest members of Proctor's Militia is Louise Tilzey-Bates of Unity, who was wearing her colonial-period costume as a volunteer at Hanna's Town.
Tilzey-Bates, who is from Somerset County — the one in England, will portray a private fighting against those from her native England. But first, she said, she has to learn how to fire a musket.
The Westmoreland County Historical Society will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the reconstruction of Hanna's Town with a barbecue on June 28 during Colonial Court Days.
The historical society handles interpretation at Hanna's Town.
Volunteers from area fire departments and other organizations constructed Hanna's Tavern in one day in the summer of 1974, and Joanna Moyar, education coordinator for the historical society, said she is attempting to contact those volunteers to invite them to the celebration.
In addition to the militia re-enactors, visitors on Saturday toured the buildings and sat for a tea service in one of the reconstructed colonial-era structures.
Hanna's Town has a gift shop, the Klingensmith house, a pallisade-style fort and blockhouse, a jail and a wagon shed.
Archaeological digs have been conducted at the site since Westmoreland County acquired the property from the Sara Steel family in 1969, Moyar said. Among the first discoveries were the post molds for what was the fort built across the road from what now is Hanna's Tavern, Moyar said.
Several archaeological digs have been conducted in the years since. Students from Indiana University of Pennsylvania still conduct digs in the fields at the historical site in search of artifacts, Moyar said.

Egypt's president sets April elections
Updated 10:03 pm, Friday, February 22, 2013
Cairo --
Egypt's president set parliamentary elections to begin in April - a decision that an opposition leader denounced Friday as "a recipe for disaster" because of the political turmoil in the country.
About 15,000 people took to the streets in the Suez Canal city of Port Said to demonstrate against President Mohammed Morsi, hanging effigies of him in the main square. Residents have been on a general strike for six days, demanding punishment for what they considered a heavy-handed police crackdown during unrest in the city.
Morsi scheduled the staggered, four-stage voting process to begin April 27 and end in June. The newly elected parliament would convene on July 6, according to a decree issued late Thursday night.
Latest news videos
He hopes the election will end the political turmoil that has beset Egypt for the past two years, since the ouster of longtime ruler Hosni Mubarak. The upheaval has scared away foreign investors and dried up tourism, both crucial foreign currency earners that helped the government pay for subsidized goods needed by the poor for survival.
But Mohamed ElBaradei, who leads one of the main opposition groups, the National Salvation Front, wrote on his Twitter account Friday that Morsi's "decision to go for parliamentary elections amidst severe societal polarization and eroding state authority is a recipe for disaster."
The group accuses Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood supporters of monopolizing power and reneging on campaign promises to set up an inclusive government that introduces far-reaching reforms.
The opposition has called for amending articles in a new Constitution that was approved in a nationwide referendum. It also demands the resignation of the current technocrat Cabinet appointed by Morsi that includes eight Brotherhood ministers and other Islamists.
Morsi took over as president in June with the help of some opposition groups and Islamists who voted against his rival, a former Mubarak-era prime minister. Morsi's popularity has since eroded because of power-grabbing decrees temporarily issued last year that allowed his supporters to rush the Constitution to a nationwide vote before a high court packed with Mubarak appointees could disband the process.
The vote took place during widespread street protests against Morsi and the Islamist-led body that drafted the charter.

Lorde Scores Best Pop Solo Performance at 2014 Grammys
With such steep competition around her, Lorde edged out her fellow nominees to take home the Best Pop Solo Performance trophy at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards tonight (January 26).
During her acceptance speech, the 17-year-old songstress seemed a bit nervous as she addressed her adoring fans from the Staples Center stage.
Lorde's song "Royals" bested Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry and Sara Bareilles, and she almost couldn't believe it.
She exclaimed, "This is the one thing that I did not expect the most about tonight so thank you so much."

Well, thats normal I think... some of the files are diffs of others, so it only has to update a base file with daily updates. So there's a base file that has the signatures from the time the version was released, and then diff/update files that apply to that to create the current up to date signatures. > IMHO > it's nice to have the option of not having RPM mess with the database, > the "-empty" package is a way to do that.

Sure, but what does it hurt? It's not that big, IMHO, so you can just install the db as shipped and then update it. You will then get to use the base db files and just need to download the diffs. kevin

Hi Steve - thanks for taking the time to write such a thought provoking piece.
I agree there is a disconnect here but disagree that this is any way a new finding or a kick in the balls for 'engagement marketing' (whatever that is?! If marketing doesn't seek to be engaging in some way with someone, what the hell are we being paid for?!)
There is always going to be a disconnect between what a marketer (optimist) believes levels of engagement to be and what the consumer (sceptic) believes their engagement with Marketing Comms to be. One will over-estimate and the other will under-estimate.
Given that people are not very good at understanding their own motivations, I think it's healthy to be sceptical of studies which seek to get purely qualitative, anecdotal feedback.What's important to me is that there is a similar ranking of the levels of engagement, and the graphs look pretty similar actually, so I would say that, from this limited data, there does appear to be a decent correlation.
Does that make sense?
Dec 6 Posted 4 years ago
Excellent article and like thinking to what I continually challenge others with. Great to see such an open and frank expose. At the end of the day most anecdotal surveys around the average office reveal the reality. That is not to say there is not a purpose and a level of engagement that it offers, let's just keep that in perspective until the next evolution layer of social media finds new engagement strategies.
Dec 6 Posted 4 years ago
Very insightful and informative. The companies that are likely to get a better return on the portion of their marketing spend allocated to digital activities are those that better 'engage' with the consumers by aligning their measurement parameters with those that the consumers use. This perhaps proves a truism that the cliche '...what's in it for me...' remains relevant in marketing.
Dec 6 Posted 4 years ago
Great article, but I think some of the interpretations of the charts are a bit off. There are actually pretty decent correlations between most of the customer answers and marketer answers. If you look at the relationships between the data, they don't paint nearly as bad of a picture. I think the post has some valid points, but a few are a little overblown.
Dec 6 Posted 4 years ago
People don't engage with brands, they engage with products and services; if these satisfy then the buyer will return, always with an eye for the alternatives available. Similarly, the word 'loyalty' is a complete misnomer because it implies an emotional element to the buyer-seller relationship. To assume that your customers' commitment is driven by anything more than price and availability is to inhabit cloud cuckoo land. 'Look after the customer and the profits will look after themselves" is a very old saying, but still sound. Abide by it, and you may just - only just - earn an emotional dividend. Then you can pat yourself on the back, but don't kid yourself that it counts for more than a row of beans.
Retailer engagement, now that's something worth working on.

Dec 6 Posted 4 years ago
Q1 above omits one very obvious answer as to 'Why do do you 'like' a brand? One option is "I don't use social media." But there's not one that says "I use social media, but I don't 'like' brands."
I think this would account for a not-insignificant share of potential customers.
Dec 6 Posted 4 years ago
What is the business value of "engagement?" That's the critical question, in my mind. What is the correlation, if any, between "engagement" and revenues or profits? What is the return on investment? If you have 100,000 Twitter followers, and none of them buy anything from your company, what is the point?
As a public relations consultant, I'm frequently called on to quantify the value of, say, a press release for a client. I imagine that social media managers have an even harder time quantifying the value of their services than I do. But if you can show that your social media engagement helps position or brand your organization, then more power to you. If you can prove that there's a correlation between views of your latest viral video and your latest boost in sales, even better.
I would love to know how effective The Old Spice Man was. The first "look at me...now look at your man...now back to me...here are two tickets to that thing you love" video has been viewed over 43 million times on YouTube. I remember sharing it with a lot of friends. The hysterical series of commercials certainly brought new and hip life back to an old brand. But was there an accompanying manly increase in revenues?
Dec 5 Posted 4 years ago
"Engagement" is perhaps the greatest lie ever hoisted upon clients and marketers. The number of times I have ebndured meetings where this over-used, mis-understood and generally abused term is used, is astounding. A simple look at Oxford will tell you what engagement means. Simply putting a message in front of someone does not constitue 'engagement'. The numbers are meaningless and often a lie. Perhaps those latest smarter-than-you-buzzword enthusiasts should refer more accurately to 'place' or 'annoyance' or 'spam'. Good article, thanks.
Dec 5 Posted 4 years ago
At last. A great sanity check on social media. The advance of technology and the ease of a click has created inflation of value. Voting with a finger (click) is not the same as one's feet (a real recommendation). And good to see the human side coming through - humour. Well done Steve.
Dec 5 Posted 4 years ago
Well done Steve! I think brands completely underestimate loyalty programs. If you have a customer enrolled in a loyalty program you need to make them "feel the love!"
Dec 5 Posted 4 years ago
Hi Steve,
I read your post titled 22nd December 2011 and I think you're pretty spot on with your analysis.
I like this article just as much. There certainly are brands that are "outliers" and they, as we can expect, perform so much better at engaging their customers. Unbounce.com does it (disclaimer: I'm a huge fan of Unbounce), MailChimp does it, and Wufoo does it.
Those are great examples of brand not afraid of infusing great content with suitable humour. I can go on with the list, but I think I've made a clear point in that "outlier" brands that outperform their peers on the Engagement Gauge do exist.
Thanks again for the article. Very well written and great work!

Consumers have always underestimated the impact of marketing. I liken this study to the 1970s studies where consumers told marketers television advertising had no effect on thier purchase decision, then said to their spouses during a commercial for a new snack or frozen dinner, "Hey, honey, this looks good. Let's try it."
Of course, marketers also have a vested interest in overstating the impact of their efforts. Marketers may stress the importance of these metrics as "measures of engagement," even if the majority of consumers are clicking those "likes" on whims, or engaging to receive discounts, enter contests.
I suspect the truth is somewhere in between. A consumer may not feel all that "engaged" when they follow a brand. But making their preference so public, on some level, psychologically obligates them to maintain a certain level of brand loyalty.
Dec 4 Posted 4 years ago
Very good piece of writing with the right kind of charts on social media engagements!
I have gained good insight, thank you!
Dec 3 Posted 4 years ago
I don't think there is much value in trying to compare a consumers feelings on engagement with a brand and how a marketeer evaluates its advertising. Just because a consumer doesn't believe they are engaging with a brand by performing a certain action doesn't mean they aren't engaging with a brand. This is actually shown in your own stats. Only 41% of people feel engaged with a brand when they sign up for special deals or email updates, but 80% read email alerts or updates on special deals.
Only 15% of people think of sharing an ad as engaging with the brand because they don't really get a benefit from it, which is how the consumer seems to define 'engaging'. However, the marketeer is rightfully seeing this as powerful engagement since it organically spreads the brands message.
There is worth in asking the consumer what content they would like from a brand, but that doesn't mean the current methods are wrong if the consumer doesn't mention them.
Dec 3 Posted 4 years ago
Great article and stats. However, it seems critical to define "engagement." Business' perspective on engagement seems totally different from consumers' definition. But engagement, nontheless, is overrated and should not be considered the foundation of marketing scenario. If the consumer does not need or want your product or service, all the engagement in the world will not endear them to your brand. Engagement is merely a tool in a workshop full of options. Marketing is far more than just social media engagement.

One of the largest hotels and resorts companies in the world, Sol Meliá has announced that it is to open its first regional hotel in Dubai. The Meliá Dubai, a five-star 164 bedroom 'urban resort' will open on 12th October 2011, to coincide with national day in Spain.
"This is our first property in the Arabian Gulf and the first step to realising our expansion plans for the region. We are currently negotiating with potential partners in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Jordan and we hope to make further announcements in the near future," commented Andre Gerondeau, Executive VP, Hotels Division at Sol Meliá Hotels and Resorts.
The number of visitors to Dubai from Spain has been increasing steadily. Emirates opened their first daily flight to Madrid last summer and combined with Iberia's existing four weekly flights to Dubai, should improve on the 30,000 plus visitors Dubai received from Spain in 2010.
In addition Emirates fly daily to Sao Paulo, with new routes planned to Rio de Janiero and Buenos Aires, all destinations where Meliá has strong brand awareness. According to Daniel Lozano, Senior Vice President, the Meliá brand, opening in the Gulf was a strategic step.
"We chose Dubai because this is the commercial hub for the region and we felt our brand attributes would suit such a cosmopolitan market. We believe that our traditional Spanish hospitality can offer a new dimension to customers in the region, while still appealing to Arab guests," he said.
"Our brand strength in Germany, UK, Italy and elsewhere in Europe, will give us a competitive edge, when we begin our marketing campaigns in these regions, for inbound business to Dubai. We can also use that leverage to secure outbound business as well," added Lozano.
The AED200 million Meliá Dubai will feature 5 restaurants a superb la carte fine dining restaurant, signature Indian restaurant Khazana by celebrity Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, 'The Level' a Meliá branded executive floor, a full service YHI SPA as well as a rooftop and swimming pool, which will feature a Spanish Tapas bar.
"Our target guest mix is 50-50 business and leisure, targeting GCC nationals, Indians, Germans, British, Spanish, Greeks, French and Brazilians. Opening rates will start at AED650 which represents excellent value for money, given the quality of the product and that unmistakable touch of Spanish hospitality," said Gilles Longuet, General Manager, Meliá Dubai.

Sometimes it is the subtle remnants from our past, such as this Ned Kelly object, that tell us really intriguing things about the Australian experience. Lying in a darkened display case at the Costume and Pioneer Museum in Benalla, Victoria, there is a long band of cloth. Woven from silk, wool and linen, it is a fringed sash, almost three metres long. If you look closely, you can see blood stains.
This unlikely object from Australia's past seems a long way removed from one of the most venerated relics of Australian history housed nearly 200 kilometres to the south in Melbourne. Kelly's armour, held by the State Library of Victoria, is a national icon known to most Australians. Yet the sash in Benalla, and its story, is less well known. But it has just as intimate a connection with Australia's most famous bushranger.
In 1865, at the small village of Avenel in Victoria, young Dick Shelton was walking beside the local creek, which was flowing swiftly. Suddenly, he slipped and fell into the water. Luckily his quick-thinking, 10-year-old mate sprang to the rescue, and saved Shelton's life. Shelton's parents, who owned the local pub, were so grateful that they presented the pre-adolescent hero with a sash. That 10-year-old was a little boy called Ned Kelly.
Kelly proudly treasured the sash for the rest of his (short) life. In June 1880 when he and his gang fought their disastrous siege at Glenrowan, Ned's armour failed to protect him and eventually he was felled by police fire. When local Doctor Nicholson went to tend his wounds, Ned was found to be wearing the sash under his metal suit.
I think that is one of the most powerful stories of Australian history.
One thing that constantly teases my mind about the story and remains so elusive, is just why Ned wore the sash on that fateful winter day. Before pondering that, though, it is necessary to look briefly at some of the major factors in Ned's life of crime.
Kelly was a horse-stealer, a bank robber and, ultimately, a killer. Why? The stealing of horses was more than plain theft. It was ultimately a political action, part of the ongoing fight against wealthy pastoralists, who had locked up the land and against whom impoverished settlers such as the Kelly family had no power whatsoever.
This political theme to his activities underlies his famous Jerilderie Letter, in which he explained his actions and which is one of the key documents of the Kelly story. Pastoralists, too, saw the fight with the Kelly family as political - once Ned was on his way to the gallows, they presented a ceremonial sword to Sergeant Arthur Steele, the police officer who felled Kelly. (The sword is held by the National Museum of Australia.)
Then there was the relationship with the Victoria Police. Kelly had ongoing run-ins with the law and the police for years, as did family members including his mother, who was herself imprisoned, along with other relatives. The police saw the Kelly clan as criminal ratbags. Kelly saw the police as corrupt harassers. He felt persecuted by the police and by the law.
Finally, at Stringybark Creek in 1878, Kelly and the gang surrounded the camp of four heavily-armed police officers sent to get them. Despite Kelly's warning to the officers, they went for their arms and the resulting melee saw three of the police shot dead in one of the most decisive events of the whole Kelly saga. The State saw Kelly as a murderous criminal who was now declared outside the law and able to be shot at any time by anyone. Kelly viewed the Stringybark Creek shooting essentially as an act of self defence - the police had clearly come to kill him and he had no alternative but to shoot. So, why was Kelly wearing the sash at Glenrowan? Was it his way of saying to the world ''I may be a declared outlaw but I am still a good man'' - more sinned against than sinning? Or was it his show of defiance of the world around him? Or was it a more deeply psychological tonic, to give him fortitude during the hail of bullets he knew would engulf him in the dim light outside the Glenrowan pub?
Maybe it was a combination of all of these. Yet I like to think it is the first that may have had precedence, for therein lies the real power of the sash and its story: that a boy hero becomes Australia's most-wanted man in just 15 years, and yet is still the same person who was that boy hero.
So the sash opens up further insights into one of Australia's most intriguing historical actors. It gets beneath the armour which, sadly, has been turned into a visual cliche by many portrayers of the Kelly story. It bedevils the commercialisation of Ned Kelly that you might experience at today's Glenrowan or anywhere else where renditions of that trademark helmet might manifest themselves.
This is the real power of some of our more subtle historical objects, of those less likely pieces of material culture that have survived from the past to continue to enlighten - and haunt us - today. And this is why our collecting institutions, whether national, state or local, will always play such an important part in Australian cultural life.

Subject: Re: [htdig] local filesystem...
From: Gilles Detillieux (email@example.com)
Date: Tue Aug 08 2000 - 13:32:19 PDT
According to Tim Perdue:
> I'm trying to index about 100,000 hypermail files on a local hard disk

The file name extensions that htdig allows for indexing by local_urls is
hard-coded in htdig/Document.cc, so it's not settable by any configuration
attribute. Your only option at this point is to edit the source and
rebuild. The plan is to eventually add mime types support to that code,
so that it can determine the content type of any file. Until someone
implements that, we've stayed with commonly indexed, static file types.
Files with .php usually include dynamic content, and so must be parsed
by the server. If you don't care about indexing the dynamic content,
that's your prerogative, but we can't as a design decision make htdig
index .php, .asp, .cfm or .shtml files directly by default, as that is
most often NOT what users would want.

Black Conservatives Demand Pelosi, NAACP and Other Liberals Renounce and Apologize for Occupy Wall Street Outrageousness
Washington, D.C. - With Occupy Wall Street protesters planning a mass demonstration in New York City and issuing calls for disruptions in other cities on November 17, members of the Project 21 black leadership network demand that high-profile supporters of the Occupy effort reject the violence, rudeness and hate that has come to embody the leftist protests and -- in the alleged absence of a leadership structure among Occupy protesters -- apologize for the mobs' uncivil actions.
"The behavior of the Occupy Wall Street protesters is boorish and violent, and it has no place in civil society," said Project 21 Fellow Deneen Borelli. "It's shocking that the very same people who tried and failed to tie the Tea Party movement to racism and radicalism are now embracing the Occupy mob despite the reports of widespread violence, anti-Semitism and general lawlessness. If these people hope to retain any shred of credibility, they must take responsibility for their poor judgment and condemn the Occupy protests."
On November 17, Occupy Wall Street protesters plan to "shut down Wall Street," "occupy the subways" and "take [Foley] Square" (next to City Hall). These actions come in the wake of the eviction of Occupy protesters from Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan so that the park could be cleaned. A court ruling also now bars protesters from resuming camping in that park. Shortly after the eviction, a protester caught on video said they would "burn New York City to the ground" and "in a few days, you're going to see what a Molotov cocktail [fire bomb] can do to Macy's [department store]."
Since the Occupy protests began, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), a fierce critic of the Tea Party movement, said about Occupy protesters: "God bless them for their spontaneity." The NAACP, which also passed a resolution in 2010 asking Tea Party leaders to repudiate alleged racism and which engaged in several efforts to link the Tea Party to racism, passed a resolution on October 15 "to support the Occupy Wall Street movement consistent with the policies adopted by the NAACP." Minor celebrity Janeane Garafalo, who previously called Tea Party members "racists" and "rednecks," recently called Occupy protesters "a real grassroots movement with a message."
These are just three representatives among the many lawmakers, columnists, celebrities and others who appear to have embraced Occupy protests. This praise comes despite the fact that Occupy campsites in cities nationwide have become health and crime hazards and hundreds of protesters have been arrested for infractions that include assaulting police officers, obstructing traffic and disobeying city ordinances involving things such as curfews and camping in public spaces. Drug busts, sexual assaults and prostitution have additionally been reported. Occupy protesters have also been reported making anti-Semitic statements and holding anti-Jewish signs, and their political agenda has drawn praise from former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke, the American Nazi Party and the Communist Party USA.
Project 21 spokesman Bob Parks, who visited and documented the behavior of Occupy Wall Street, Occupy D.C. and protests in other cities for mrctv.org, said: "Mic check! While demonizing the liberation of the Iraqi people as an 'occupation,' the Van Jones fringe used that same name to squat on public property, squat on police cars, squat in the street and -- after two months of imposing themselves on their fellow citizens with arrhythmic can-banging, garbage, rudeness, no-imagination chants, thefts, STDs, mooching and rioting (and don't forget those rapes), they're been kicked off those properties and don't have squat to show for it."
Project 21 spokesman Emery McClendon was a witness to Occupy mayhem when protesters showed up outside the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. on November 4. Three Occupy protesters were arrested and at least two elderly attendees of the Americans for Prosperity event held in the building were injured during the Occupy D.C. assault. McClendon said: "I was recently at a Tea Party-related event in Washington, D.C. where we were attacked by Occupy D.C. protesters. Several of our people were injured. The Occupy protesters encircled the building we were in and used children as human shields. They threatened us, and made it known that they intended to cause us harm."
"People involved in the Tea Party movement are passionate about restoring America to a position of greatness and back to its founding principles. We have obeyed the rules and have assembled peacefully and respectfully at our events," added McClendon. "The Occupy groups, on the other hand, have broken laws and refused to abide by permits and city ordinances."
"Everything that the left tried to pin on the Tea Party movement -- hatred, radicalism and violence -- are all there among the Occupy protesters," said Borelli. "It's hypocritical for the very same people who heaped hyperbole on the Tea Party not to practice what they preached and disassociate themselves from the Occupy mob and apologize for their own bad judgment."
Project 21, a leading voice of black conservatives since 1992, is sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research (http://www.nationalcenter.org).

The Growing Problem of Pedophilia in Bali
UNICEF Sponsored Workshop in Nusa Dua Highlight Growing Problem of Commercial and Sexual Exploitation of Children in Bali.
Experts speaking at a UNICEF-sponsored seminar held in Nusa Dua on December 4, 2006, warned that the incidence of sexual exploitation of children is expanding at an alarming rate in Bali.
Speaking at a
Workshop of the Sexual Exploitation and Commercialization of Children
, Anna-Karin Jatfor, an expert staff of
, admitted that monitoring such activity is problematic, although the government has sufficient information to attack the root causes of the problem.
The workshop reported that many under-aged sex workers are in evidence on Bali streets, night clubs, entertainment centers and hotels. According to Jatfors, young people who
drop out
from school are mong those most susceptible to commercialization and sexual exploitation.
She went on to warn that the intensification of pedophilic activities in the tourism sector is obvious, with sophisticated crime syndicates now involved in the illicit trade of children. The UN expert also warned that what can be seen of the trade in children only touches the tip of a much larger, less visible iceberg.
While there have recently been a number of high-profile prosecutions of pedophiles in Indonesia, Jatfors said a much more intense effort is needed to wipe out this practice in Lombok and Bali which has become a target for Australian pedophiles. She estimated some 10,000 children in Indonesia have already fallen prey to sexual exploitation or sexual violence over the past few years, with most cases going unreported.
Both a Local and Foreign Element to the Problem
According to Bali police official speaking at the meeting, 27 cases of pedophilia had been handled in Bali since 2005. While all cases initially involved only foreigners, recent cases have also established similar crimes committed against children by Bali's endemic population.
The Police Official, Sang Ayu Putu Alit, told the meeting: "I must underline that the perpetrators of pedophilia are no longer limited to foreigners, but now also includes our own people. This condition must receive our serious attention."

Even Without Strong Support from Australia and Japan, Bali Managed to Rack Up Record Arrivals for November 2006.
Despite arrivals numbers stuck in purgatory from Australia, Bali managed to rack up one of its best Novembers ever in terms of foreign tourist arrivals totaling 113,844 a number +81.55% ahead of the same month in terror-affected 2005 and +3% ahead of November 2004. In fact, November 2006 will go down in the record books as one of the strongest performances for that month, suggesting that once Japanese and Australian numbers revive Bali may be truly booming.

Foreign Illegal Tour Guides Apprehended at Local Temple Complex.
The Indonesian language
Nusa Bali
reports that two foreign tour guides were recently apprehended during the course of leading a group of travelers through the
Tirta Empul Temple Complex
near Tampaksiring.
According to the press report, the two guides, identified only as a Polish female "Agniszka" and a Rusian male "Valery," were arrested in police actions in early November and December.
Current regulations only permit licensed individuals to provide guiding services in Bali. To qualify as a guide in Bali a person must be an Indonesian national, have fluency in the national language of Indonesia, prove residency in Bali for at least two years and undergo testing to demonstrate a command of local history and culture.
The two illegal tour guides, believed to be only two of many other operating on the Island, were reported to local police by Kania, a local licensed tour guide and Chairman of the
Indonesian Tour Guide Association (HPI)
, who made evidentiary recordings of the tour guides working via a camera on his cell phone.
Nusa Bali

spokesman said there are currently "tens" of illegal guides working in Bali.
In the past, illegal guides are normally processed through the courts for working illegally and violating immigration rules, punished and then deported.
Nyepi 2007 to Fall on March 19, 2007
Bali's Official Day of Silence to See Airport, Ports and City Streets Come to a 24-Hour Standstill.
Gede Nurjaya, the Head of the Bali Tourism Authority, has issued detailed instructions addressing local rules and regulations pertaining the celebration of Bali's official day of silence -
set to fall on Monday, March 19, 2007.
- the Balinese equivalent of the word for
is the name given to the day each year when it is he religious obligation of every Balinese Hindu to dedicate an entire day to quiet introspection and spiritual cleansing as he or she embarks on a New Year in the Balinese lunar calendar.
Starting from approximately 6 a.m. on Monday, March 19, 2007 and continuing until 6 a.m. the following morning,
will be observed by the devout through the abstinence from food and drink, human speech, movement outside the family compound, and even the lighting of fires or lamps. As a result, Bali will resemble a ghost town throughout this period with all businesses and thoroughfares closed. Traditional village security forces -
will patrol the island permitting the passage of only emergency vehicles and sternly rebuking neighbors who allow noise or light to be transmitted from their living quarters.
marks the first day of the Balinese Saka calendar (1929) and is strictly observed island-wide as a day of absolute silence and meditation, including the shut down for a 24 hour period of the island's airport.
Hotels and Airport Affected
Guests visiting Bali during this unique holiday will be able to view first hand the Mardi Gras-like celebrations marked with street parades and drinks the night before Nyepi. Before sunrise on March 18, 2007, however, all will be required to take refuge in their hotels or homes before sunrise - there to remain until the following morning. Major hotels generally permit their guests full use of their various outlets with the understanding that guests will not venture outside the property, and special arrangements are made for the hotel's staff to stay overnight at their place of employment with normal traffic between their homes and place of employment impossible on
Bali's only airport will also shut down during the entire
period. All flights that would normally embark or disembark passengers in Bali have been cancelled for the 24 hour Nyepi interlude. Technical or emergency stopovers are permitted at the airport, but no passengers or crew are permitted to travel to or from the airport terminal and other location in Bali for the entire 24 hour
period. Bali's seaport will also be closed throughout this period.
Special accommodations and travel permits will, however, be issued for medical evacuations, ambulance and emergency vehicles, and women in labor who need to travel to a local medical facility.
Bali Gets High Marks in Australian Safety Audit
International Safety Audit Cites Significant Improvements and 'Sentiment of Security' Pervading the Island.
One of Australia's leading private security companies,
SNP Security
, recently completed an intensive four-day safety audit of Bali and its tourism industry that tracked significant improvements in the Island's approach to safety and security.
The Managing Director of
SNP Security,
Tom Roche, said Bali today is in a visibly and vastly more improved security situation than ever before.
SNP Security
was commissioned to conduct the audit by the Sydney-based Public Affairs company
S2i Communications
who are seeking to quantify claims of security improvements in Bali.
CEO, Wayne Tregaskis, insisted that any revised assessments of security in Bali must be based on tangible facts. "Any claims of Bali being a safe destination for travelers to visit, needs to be treated seriously and the security audit was one such way of doing that," said Tregaskis.
"What the SNP Security audit has provided is evidence that it is an appropriate time for Bali to resume its place on the list of desirable holiday destinations for Australians," he added.
Continuing, "it has also provided an opportunity for those promoting the island to do so with a higher degree of confidence in relation to safety and security matters."
"Certainly travelers everywhere need to maintain a higher level of security consciousness than they did prior to 9/11, but Bali can no longer be singled out as being any less secure than any of the other destinations of the world such as London, New York or Madrid."
SNP Security
SNP Security
holds the security contract for Sydney Airport, and has done so for the past 38 years. It also services such iconic buildings as the Sydney Opera House as well as a number of key installations around Sydney and beyond.
Managing Director Roche said that security efforts in Bali have been shared by private tourism operators on the island such as hotels, resorts and restaurants, and the Government itself at various levels. "Bali has recognized that it simply can't flourish without a viable tourism industry it's the island's number one revenue generator and this realization is reflected in the upgraded security status across the island," said Roche.
The four-day audit of major tourism facilities included popular visitor precincts such as Kuta, Legian and Seminyak as well as the high-end luxury hotels and restaurants in such areas as Nusa Dua and Jimbaran.
While a highly experienced counter-terrorism operative at
met with senior Government officials including the island's new Chief of Police, Inspector General Paulus Purwoko, and members of the government intelligence unit, most of the specialist's visits were unannounced and covert, day and night, ensuring 'real time' assessment of the security situation.
Things have improved in Bali and the local population, along with its visitors, mutually share a 'sentiment of security' which works at many levels around the island," explained Roche.
Roche stated, "in essence, there are two major policing organizations in place the very vigilant community security
and the official government organizations such as the police, military and counter-terrorism units. These resources, combined with upgraded, international standard training for the island's many private security companies, have ensured that the overall situation has taken a positive leap forward."
"Travelers, particularly Australian travelers, are a resilient lot which is why numbers are slowly returning to the island, along with increasing numbers from other parts of the world too, particularly Europe which is burgeoning in terms of visitors," Roche postulated.
Separately, the Chairman of the
Bali Hotels Association (BHA)
Michael Burchett, said the
Security audit was a timely exercise, reviewing as it did, many of the recommendations put forward in the 2005 Bali Security Plan. "We have one of the most beautiful places on earth in Bali, we just won the 'Readers Choice' award from 'Travel and Leisure' magazine for 'World's Best Island Destination' and we feature some of the most spectacular resorts in the world but people need to feel safe and secure which is why this effort is so important," said Burchett. "Unfortunately,", he added, "Bali was not the only victim as London, Madrid and New York have also suffered the ravages of terrorist attacks, but I must say Bali is better prepared today than it ever has been to cope with the kind of threats we all face, and I can confidently say we are now ever-vigilant and well-prepared."
BTB Chairman: Travel Warnings Unfair
Bagus Sudibya, Chairman of the
Bali Tourism Board (BTB)
, also expressed his satisfaction that the audit had been carried out, saying, "it is satisfying to have an independent and expert body make the judgment that improvements have been made in Bali in terms of security. Bali has suffered as a result of travel warnings that we believe are excessive and not a true reflection of any actual security threat here. We are trying to ensure all levels of government and the community, are contributing to the overall security of the island. Bali remains a wonderful place to live and is a wonderful place to visit."

fait accompli
for his Administration.

Egyptian controversial singer Ruby has revealed that her upcoming film "Al Shawq" (Longing), which she recently completed filming the scenes for, does not have any intimate scenes. She added that the film discusses important social issues.
Ruby plays the role of a common girl from Alexandria Egypt who has one sister and a borther that passed away after being ill and due to the poor condition of Ruby's character's family, they are unable to pay for his medical treatment. Throughout the events of the film Ruby's character goes through numerous obstacles.
Ruby revealed that she is not against performing intimate scenes and believes that acting such scenes is a sign of having a unique ability which some actors have and others lack. She added that she does not see anything wrong with such scenes as long as they are part of a certain project.
Ruby stressed once more that the film does not have any hot scenes and is a realistic social drama. The film is directed by Khaled al Hajar and stars Sawsan Badr and Ahmad Azmi.
The final touches are being placed for the film in order to have it ready to be screened during the upcoming Eid El Fitr holiday, which is after the holy month of Ramadan.
