Filepicker Integration: Listed on Apps and WidgetsAsked by markashton on May 01, 2015 at 07:46 AM
There is a filepicker widget. It works very well indeed. It was developed by Jotform.
I note that there is an entry under the Integrations button for Filepicker. Click on it and it doesn't work.
It appears to have been developed by Jotform.
Has this integration been superceded by the Filepicker Widget?
I was under the impression that developers develop these ... not Jotform.
As Filepicker have a new version coming out that is fantastic ... and I need it implemented soon as ... I am looking at all the options available in bringing this to a reality.
If you could let me know whether this is just "dormant" or redundant ... i would be grateful to know
Thnaks Mark

Hi, Mark,
The Filepicker Integration is our App that will create a quick sample form with the widget since many people have been looking for integration. If you want to use it, you can simply add the widget to your form instead. This is the Ink File Picker app link: http://apps.jotform.com/app/inkfilepicker.io_integration
Thank you.
Kind regards.
JotForm Support
Hi, Mark,
First, I would like to thank you for bringing this into our attention. We greatly appreciate your concern. I will be forwarding this to our developers so they may look into it deeply. After running some test with different browsers, I've proved that the Filepicker is unclickable from the Integration tool, which means you would not be able to add it from there. However, by continuously trying, I have managed to add it from the integration just once after several tries, problem is, the "Pick File" button of the Filepicker is not working if you got it from the Integration from the toolbar of the form builder page.
Again, thank you so much for letting us know this as we may find a way to fix the issue.
Kind regards.
That's fine ... do you think the Integration should be removed ... it makes no sense to have two points of entry for this.
The widget works brilliantly ... I use it on every form.
It's just that filepicker are about to update their version ... which is a 'gamechanger' ... and I was looking at the state of play with filepicker.
Indeed Jotform offers Widgets, Integration, apps ... its difficult to know what's what.
One question ... Did Ink Filepicker put forward the Integration themselves ?? Or was it purely an early jotform initiative.
I'm just trying to understand why there are two pieces of work that do the same thing ... but are fundamentally different.
Many Thanks, Mark

I think Mike_G addressed this thread incorrectly.
A little explanation before addressing your concern: The reason why Ink File Picker is listed in the Integration Panel as well as the Widgets Menu is that is a very popular feature
It's the same upload field which works with different devices/ platforms. It's just listed in different places
So, sorry if this confuses you. I'll also speak with the devs and UI/UX Designer about this. And may open a second ticket for this.
Anyhow, thank you for pointing this and bringing it to our attention.
On regards to your question:
One question ... Did Ink Filepicker put forward the Integration themselves ?? Or was it purely an early jotform initiative. That was an initiative taken by our devs.
Now, on regards to your main concern:
As Filepicker have a new version coming out that is fantastic ... and I need it implemented soon as ... I am looking at all the options available in bringing this to a reality.
I've forwarded your concern to our developers.
Hi Jeanette,
Thanks for the clarification on that.
I have been pushing filepicker (it is not called Ink Filepicker anymore just Filepicker) to add a fantastic feature.
The new version of their dialog box is to be released early May ... nowish.
I will post a thread tomorrow with exactly these revolutionary changes ... basically its about client side image compression and image scaling before upload. The result is exceptionally fast uploads on smartphones and the test results are fantastic.
I shall point to the thread from this thread so you see it.
Many Thanks

Hi Jeanette,
Just wanted to flag this related thread for your attention that I have posted ...
Users ... This thread is complete ... it advises that the Jotform Integration and Jotform Widget for Filepicker are one of the same.

Hello Mark,
The widget has been updated - and we can continue the discussion on the second thread you opened.
The Ink File Picker widget and App location are now unified, and you will find them under the widgets tool tab:
Thanks for clarification. Makes complete sense.

Death for Celebrity Doubles
The Iraqi Government is about to execute the lookalikes who posed as Saddam Hussein during his long reign of terror, according to sources in Baghdad.
The dictator's doubles pretended to be Saddam on occasions when the real Iraqi president was busy elsewhere — or afraid of assassination attempts. CIA reports suggest that as many as a dozen men regularly played the part of the Evil One, but there are people within the current Iraqi Government who believe the figure is actually much higher.
"We're going to have to hang them all," said a spokesman for the Iraqi Government, who refused to be named because he's actually an American and doesn't want people to think the Iraqis aren't making their own decisions, especially when it comes to executing people.
"Let's face it," he added, "every other guy in this goddamned country looks like Saddam. That means there's an outside chance we actually offed the wrong one. So, to be on the safe side, we're going to kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out."
A crack US intelligence squad has so far identified around 352,000 candidates. "Now the tough work begins, narrowing 'em down to the ones that really could be Saddam or one of his regular stand-ins. It isn't as easy as you'd think."
When asked how they would do this, the source said: "We're basing it mainly on the width and bushiness of the moustache. There are other metrics, too, but telling you about them might reveal intelligence sources and methods."
The source claims he does not fear a public outcry at the planned mass-hangings. "There was a lot of jubilation on the street when we hanged what we believed to be Saddam," he said. "Way things are going, we can make that a weekly event."
Private War
Dismayed by the inability of US armed forces to impose peace on Iraq, US President George W Bush and Defence Secretary Robert Gates have opted to outsource the war to a private consortium.
Headed by a private firm, LethalResponse Inc — established by ex-Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld just minutes after losing his cabinet post — the consortium also includes Halliburton subsidiary Kellog Brown & Root and a number of leading US defence companies.
"It just makes sense," said a smiling Rumsfeld. "This war is costing billions, and there's no sense in that money going to waste in Iraq. It might as well go into American pockets."
It's understood that the consortium will sub-contract the war back to the US Army, though this may involve troops having to accept pay cuts and loss of what Rumsfeld described as 'frivolous fringe benefits', such as body armor and ammunition.
Sources close to the Pentagon say that the fee charged by the consortium will undercut the current price of the war by up to 3 percent. In return, the consortium will be allocated an undisclosed share of Iraq's oil revenues and will assume all contracts for supplying, transporting and maintaining US armed forces in Iraq.
"This is a great opportunity for America," said Rumsfeld from his company's headquarters in the Cayman Isles. "At least, it's a great opportunity for Americans who are shareholders in our company. Which means me and George. The war in Iraq is going from bad to worse, which means lots of business for our consortium. The guys who make the weapons and rockets and things are very happy. We've just contracted with a private airline to bring back the bodies and stuff, so they're happy. Everybody's happy!"
It is believed that President Bush will become a director of LethalResponse when his current term as President ends.
Mission Accomplished
President George W Bush has returned to Washington in triumph after completing his tour of duty in Iraq. The President led a highly successful mission that also marked the completion of his military service.
"We're all relieved," said a White House aide. "Frankly, it was getting embarrassing. I mean, he started his military service in the 1960s. But this tour in Iraq really puts paid to those liberal wieners who say that this President is a deserter or a coward. He's shown his willingness to go do the job himself."
The details of the President's mission are still classified, but it's believed that he briefed the Prime Minister of Iraq, whatever his name is, both before and after the mission.
There are unconfirmed rumours that the President flew some kind of bombing mission. "We're a bit worried he thought he was bombing Vietnam," said a source close to the President. "But it's probably best not to say anything. I mean, he always felt bad about those other boys going to Vietnam and getting killed while he was playing golf with his Daddy's political backers. But hell, he was doing a job for the country too."
Many US service personnel are now on their third or fourth tours in Iraq. According to the Whitehouse press office, the President is now proud to be numbered among the veterans of this conflict.
"The several hours he spent in the country — actually in Baghdad, one of the most dangerous places — shows that this is a true War President," said a hastly issued press release. "It proves that the President is not prepared to send the boys and girls of America to do a job he's not prepared to do himself."

Here's a familiar scenario for many of our Warrington alumni...
You're out of town for a conference. You have some down time, and would like to network with some local #BusinessGators over lunch or a cup of coffee. Unfortunately, you have no idea how to contact them.
That will soon change. The College is implementing a new social platform called EverTrue, a mobile application that will display Warrington alumni members in a user's immediate area. Plans are for EverTrue to be available to Warrington alumni later this fall.
"It's becoming very apparent that our alumni want to connect with each other directly," said Rebecca Lakkis, the College's Associate Director of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving.
The app's map feature will provide Warrington alumni a glimpse of where their fellow alumni work in a specified, geographic area. Additionally, the app will display career information about those alumni from their LinkedIn accounts, allowing users to run customized searches. So if you're in Boston, and would like to network with finance alums who earned their degrees in the past 10 years, EverTrue can provide you that particular list in a matter of seconds.
"It's very simple to use," Lakkis said. "It's an app you download like Facebook or LinkedIn. It's a social platform, but specific to Warrington alumni."
EverTrue is an opt-out system meaning all Warrington alumni's professional information will be accessible when the app goes live. Alumni can utilize the app's privacy settings to limit the amount of information available or choose to not be included entirely.
More than 250 organizations, including higher education institutions like Brown University, Northeastern University and the University of Central Florida, use EverTrue.
"We're listening to our alumni," Lakkis said. "They want a tool that will help Warrington alumni make more meaningful connections, and EverTrue is a great way to facilitate this."

Scaling up the delivery of refractive error services within a district health system: the KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa experience
Health services research in low and middle income settings
In South Africa, the health service is based on a Primary Health Care (PHC) philosophy with the District Health System (DHS) as the locus of delivery. However eye care services, particularly primary eye care, refractive error and low vision, have not been prioritised accordingly. Hence the aim of the Giving Sight to KwaZulu-Natal (GSKZN) project was to integrate the delivery of eye care services into the district health system, with emphasis on addressing the need for uncorrected refractive error and low vision services.
The project was implemented in the KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa, to scale up the delivery of refractive error services utilising a four pronged approach; including advocacy, human resource development, equipment provision and research.
This paper is a description of the project and a retrospective analysis of data received through the course of the project from July 2007 to June 2011. Data were collected from training registers, equipment schedules and service delivery reports from institutions. Reports from the data base were then analysed and achievements in training and trends in service delivery were determined.
Over a four year period (July 2007 and July 2011) 1004 persons received training in rendering eye health services appropriate to their level of deployment within the DHS. During the course of the project, these 1004 persons examined 1 064 087 patients. Furthermore, the total number of clinics offering primary eye care, refractive error and low vision services increased from 96 (10%) to 748 (76%). With increased numbers of PHC Nurses trained in primary eye care, a subsequent decrease of 51.08 percent was also observed in the number of patients seeking services at higher levels of care, thus streamlining eye health service delivery.
This project has shown that scaling up can occur in delivering eye health services within a health district, through a multi-faceted approach that encompasses focused training, advocacy, development of appropriate infrastructure and the development of referral criteria with clear guidelines for the management of patients.
Refractive error
Six hundred and forty (640) million people worldwide are estimated to be either blind or visually impaired due to uncorrected refractive error
Visual disability resulting from uncorrected refractive error has a major impact on the life of the affected person as they are more likely to be excluded from education opportunities, suffer from isolation and have fewer employment opportunities thus perpetuating the vicious cycle of poverty
The Giving Sight to KwaZulu-Natal project
The District Health System (DHS), which has been identified as an appropriate building block for a National Health System by the World Health Organisation (WHO), is a framework for the delivery of Primary Health Care (PHC) - a model promoted as a solution to creating access at a local level
South Africa has a population of 50.59 million (South African census 2011)
Currently in South Africa, the role of various eye health personnel within DHS has not been clearly defined
Design and implementation of the giving sight project delivery system
In South Africa, eye health services are delivered from PHC Clinics with referral pathways going up to Quaternary level hospitals if necessary
1. Advocacy for the delivery of primary eye care, refractive error and low vision services within all levels of the DHS.
2. Training and deployment of the appropriate human resources.
3. Development of infrastructure to enable the delivery of services.
4. Development of a data collation and management system for the program.
The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health (KZN DoH) was identified as the key stakeholder of the project. Stakeholder engagement on the value of developing a sustainable strategy for the delivery of refractive error services within the DHS was conducted. Consultative meetings included relevant persons within the KZN DoH. This resulted in the appointment of the steering committee responsible for the design of the project and development of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The Health Operation Committee was further engaged to inform senior provincial and district managers about the project, inviting their input on proposed project plans. All district eye care coordinators were then engaged to discuss implementation of the project; these project implementation plans were subsequently reviewed at district meetings to address district specific needs.
A two-fold approach was utilised in the training component of the project. Firstly, eye care cadres who were already delivering refractive error services (ophthalmic nurses and optometrists) were appropriately up skilled. Secondly, primary health care nurses, who did not have previous primary eye care training were trained (Table
To enable the PHC nurses to act as effective "gate keepers" of the eye care pathway, core competencies such as visual acuity measurements and the detection of basic anterior segment pathological conditions were developed. KZN DoH provided a total of 924 PHC nurses selected from Health Districts in need of eye care services, to be trained in primary eye care. Of those trained, 75 PHC nurses received additional training enabling them to conduct posterior segment exams using a direct ophthalmoscope, usually part of the skills set of ophthalmic nurses. These nurses were selected from Health Districts where there were no ophthalmic nurses (ON), who would otherwise screen for posterior segment disease. This was seen as an interim measure to address the lack of ophthalmic nurses in such areas.
Recommendations were made to the KZN DoH Infrastructure Development Unit to allocate appropriate space for eye clinics in the future planning of institutions. In addition, equipment, as shown in Table
An assistive device delivery system was developed to facilitate affordable access for patients. An optical workshop was established at a central location and the supporting logistics to deliver assistive devices to patients was developed. Ready-made readers, single vision and bifocal spectacles with a multi-tiered pricing option were available to patients. Low vision devices were also available. All school children and indigent adults with significant vision impairment were provided with their assistive devices at no cost, subsidised by the sale to others.
Once trained, all trainees were requested to report data on a monthly basis for the purpose of monitoring the program. They were requested to collate and report on the following:
1. Number of patients examined
1. Number of patients who received treatment
1. Number of patients referred for further treatment
The KZN DoH had not collected eye health data at primary health care level prior to the implementation of the project and the data collection tools at secondary levels of health care had not been standardised. Therefore data collection forms were specifically designed to enable primary health care nurses, ophthalmic nurses and optometrists to record statistics of patients examined, treated and referred on a monthly basis. The standardised tool was hand recorded and submitted to the project office and DHIS office.
This paper is a retrospective analysis of data received through the course of the project from July 2007 to June 2011. An electronic capturing and reporting database application using Microsoft Visual Studio and Microsoft SQL Server was developed. All data received from training registers, equipment schedules, service delivery reports and assistive devices supplied was entered onto the data base. Reports from the data base were then exported to Excel 2007 for analysis.
The data was collected during the program as follows:
1. Records of attendance at training sessions
All attendees at training sessions completed a daily attendance register providing their name, designation, institution and service area. This included professional nurses, ophthalmic nurses and optometrists. Attendance registers were then captured onto Excel 2007 spread sheets disaggregated by cadre trained and training session.
2. Service delivery
Monthly records of the patients examined at each clinic were reported either through direct submission to the project office or through the DHIS. The project office received quarterly reports from the DHIS. The indicators reported for professional nurses, including ophthalmic nurses were:
a. Number of patients examined
a. Number of patients treated
a. Number of patients referred
The DoH did not provide individual patient records to the project team as these were confidential and stored at the health institution visited; only aggregated reports were provided. Monthly reports of the number of assistive devices supplied were collected.
Between July 2007 and July 2011, 1004 persons were trained in the delivery of refractive error services appropriate to the level at which they functioned within the DHS as shown in Table
Collectively, these 1004 trained persons examined a total of 1 064 087 patients over the project period. The breakdown of the outputs per cadre is shown in Table
As the project progressed, there was a growth in the number of clinics within the KZN DoH that was offering refractive error services (Figure
Figure 1
Growth in the number of clinics that offer refractive error services over the project period
Growth in the number of clinics that offer refractive error services over the project period.
With an increase in the number of PHC Nurses being trained in primary eye care, a corresponding increase in the number of patients being examined at a primary health care (PHC) level was observed (Figure

Numbers of patients examined per level of the DHS over the project period

Figure 3
The number of patients examined per cadre during the project period
The number of patients examined per cadre during the project period.
The number of patients examined by PHC nurses showed an increase from approximately 5000 in the first period to almost 100 000 in the last reporting period. Optometry services also increased during the project period reflecting more than twice the number of patients accessing this service. The total number of patients examined also increased from just over 60 000 to over 160 000 representing an increase of approximately two and half times.
Before commencement of the project, there were 6 optometrists serving 41 health institutions within the KZN DoH. Through this project, the number of optometrists increased to 38 optometrists serving 117 institutions– some funded directly by the project, and others appointed by KZN DoH as a result of the project's advocacy efforts. Currently there are 38 optometrists in the public sector with government employing 32. Skills audits were performed to identify additional areas of training required. An overwhelming majority of optometrists indicated the need for assistance in the areas of Low Vision, Binocular Vision and Posterior Segment pathology.
Prior to the implementation of the project, refractive error services were offered at only a few public health institutions in KwaZulu-Natal – primarily due to the fact that there were only 6 full time optometrists working within the KZN DoH at the inception of the project. Furthermore the majority of PHC nurses were not delivering primary eye care, but merely referring all "eye cases" along the referral pathway, needlessly creating a backlog at the District and Regional Level.
Training of ONs in the province was discontinued by the KZN DoH in 2002 [Zimu N. 2002, personal communication]. To compound the situation, many ONs were deployed to other areas of clinical care as well as into clinic and hospital management roles. At the time of the project inception there were only 46 active ONs working in KZN. As this cadre had already received training in the delivery of refractive error services (as part of their ON training), a skills audit was conducted to identify areas in which the nurses felt they required further training. The results indicated a need for further training in basic refraction and the diagnosis of posterior segment diseases. As such, a post evaluation needs to be conducted at a later stage to determine the impact of the project's training on the quality of eye care delivered by ONs.
Despite the development of tools and systems for data collection from all cadres trained, data collection remained a challenge. Extensive telephonic contact with trainees yielded varying levels of success in acquiring data. Optometrists and ONs reports were received fairly regularly; however reporting from PHC clinics was limited and very sporadic. As such, attempts were made to add eye care indicators into the DHIS, an existing data Management System utilized by the KZN DoH. This initiative proved successful.
The need for continuous advocacy for eye care services within the KZN DoH beyond the project lifecycle is critical to the maintenance and continued development of refractive error services established through this project. To this end, provincial forums for ONs and Optometrists have been established. An enabling factor in this regard was the existence of a policy for the formation of forums in the KZN DoH. These forums have been successfully launched, and the KZN optometry forum has also affiliated itself with the National Public Sector Optometry Forum in South Africa.
The role of community based cadres, particularly community Health workers and Traditional healers was not developed extensively in the project. The Community Health Worker (CHW) program is not uniformly developed in the province and this cadre was therefore not included in the capacity development initiative. However, a role in health promotion and case finding has been identified for these cadres and presents an opportunity for further development of eye care and refractive error services.
The increase in the percentage of patients seen at PHC level and the corresponding decrease in percentage of patients seen at District and Regional Level is of importance and is likely due to the presence of the newly trained PHC nurse within the eye care referral system. Previously patients would have needed to travel to the district and regional institutions to access the closest eye care service which was provided by ophthalmic nurses or an optometrist. These patients often needed treatment for simple bacterial or allergic conjunctivitis, which can now be managed by the PHC nurse at their local clinic resulting in a reduction in the percentage of patients reporting at secondary and tertiary level respectively. This allows for the more efficient use of the skills of personnel at different levels of the DHS.
A limitation of the analysis is a lack of information to determine the quality of service being provided by the different cadres. We were also unable to track the numbers that did not present after referrals and the non-compliance associated with this. Some patients were counted both at the primary and secondary referral sites as we were not able to determine from the data who were referred and who were not.
It will also be useful to determine the patients' perception of the service. Furthermore an assessment of the quality of training rendered needs to be conducted.
This project has indicated that scale up of refractive error services can occur in a health district through a multi-faceted approach that encompasses wide spectrum training, advocacy, appropriate infrastructure and referrals with clear guidelines for the management of patients. It has shown that within an African context the District Health System offers an alternative to models of delivery implemented in other parts of the world that have been successfully working outside the public health system. It must however be noted that while up scaling is possible, it is dependent on the effective collaboration of the respective governments. With the number of patients served within this particular project, we can assume that the development of refractive error services significantly increased the number of patients attending public sector eye clinics. Therefore the district health system can be an appropriate vehicle for the up scaling of services.

Just read this article
And without wanting to spoil it, the gist of it say that Video games don't follow international Humanitarian Law in War games.
NSS (No Shit Sherlock) who would have thought that!
What are your thoughts?

Two points. Firstly, these are games. Works of fiction, a release into a fantasy world. They are meant to entertain, not replicate reality.
Secondly, the games referenced are 18+ and should not be played by juveniles or children. Any parent who allows a child access to these games should be wary of their behaviour and attitude towards others, and if they can't handle the responsibility of that then they should not allow them to play the games.
It is that simple.

There's humanitarian laws in war? Please remind me to let the folks who shot a me and killed a few friends along the way know that.

There is no laws in war if people followed the so called laws 9/11 would not have happened.
Nov 24, 2009 at 9:47 UTC
There are many rules and regulations of war, the main ones being various Conventions (Geneva, Hague, UN) St Petersberg Declaration, Rome Statute etc. If you're interested, check out http:/
US went to war because they were attacked by a force which didn't adhere to these laws (No declaration, no diplomacy, attacked unarmed civilian targets) etc. The important ones to look at are the four Geneva Conventions. If one actor is not a signatory, the Conventions do not apply, and it's out of a western sense of morality (and upholding of customary international law) which we continue to engage and uphold the standards it contains. This is part of the reason why "Guantanamo Bay Holiday Resort" wasn't necessarily illegal; While Iraq is a signatory of the Geneva Conventions, the Taliban are not. They also breached several articles by hiding amongst civilians, failing to wear a recognisable uniform, use of maiming weapons (IEDs and anti-personnel mines).
It's real complicated, and this is really off-topic.
EDIT: I believe in the humane treatment of all people. I don't agree with what is alleged to have occured in Guantanamo Bay. Just so we're clear.
Nov 24, 2009 at 11:14 UTC
I have a couple of thoughts about the article.
First, the unfortunate truth about war is that in the last 60+ years, war has slowly shifted from a field of battle where only combatants met each other to fighting in urban environments. Ideally, even in these environments, soldiers should be maintaining strict fire discipline and only shooting at each other, but as has been already mentioned, the 'enemy' isn't always wearing an easily recongizable uniform.
I can understand the concern and I do think that some of these games could avoid these breaches of war crimes, but I find the idea of games having to subscribe to some sort of rule of law to bring up a whole host of other possible legal ramifications. If these groups can force gaming companies to abide by the rule of international law regarding warfare, what is to stop the Federal Government from stepping in and charging the makers of say Grand Theft Auto with accessory to murder and theft as that game promotes such activities?
In the end, I approach games as I do works of fiction...they are there to entertain and to escape the worries of the real world for a short period of time. With regards to children, it is the responsibilty of the parents to know what their children are doing and to decide if a violent game is appropriate or not...or at the very least be able to sit down with their kids and explain the difference between game and real life expectations.

You mean a special interest group is using a random (and biased) study to encourage the government to seize more control and impose restrictions on entertainment geared toward adults all in the name of protecting the children? Yea, sounds about right

Wow. Good one. Way to cut through the smoke and mirrors.
This is ridiculous. The whole point of a video game is to be able to act out things you can't (and wouldn't) normally do in real life. I'd have loved to have seen the same report for Grand Theft Auto not respecting civilian / street laws. I remember a couple years ago someone was getting charged with virtual rape for something they did to another character in Second Life.

Reminds me of what happened to Bioware when they did the last expansion for Neverwinter Nights (the original).
Because D&D is owned by Wizards which is owned by Hasbro, and Hasbro has an image they want to protect, Hasbro had a 10 or 12 year old kid sit down and go through playing the expansion and asked him to note anything that was at all offensive.
In the end, Bioware had to scrap an entire storyline based on an evil alignment, had to remove a romance storyline, and several other aspects of the game had to be tweaked because of Hasbro's lawyers and a 12 year old boy despite the game and expansion having a Teen Rating (it might have actually been an M rating, I can't remember).

Yet another lot of killjoys basically. They don't like or understand the gaming mentality, so they try to repress it.
I would argue that I get far more actively involved in a (good) action book or film than I do in any shoot-em up game - by that I mean in a book or film I begin to care about what happens to the characters - I've never done that with a Tom Clancy or COD type game - mainly 'cos you know you can just restart a game when you're killed and everyone is back to life again. With a book you only generally read it once so there's more of an emotional investment.
On that basis these guys would want to start censoring books too - now who were the last lost to do that - oh yes it was the nazis.

How in the H-E-Double-Hockeysticks did we survive growing up!?! Thank goodness for the wonderful watchdogs and nanny-states to let us know what is good and bad for us.
Tomorrow (for USA) when I'm giving thanks, I'm sure going to mention everyone who has taken every bit of joy and excitement of growning up and bubble-wrapped it so not to hurt our future generation.
I for one love someone else telling me what to do and what's good for me. I'm so looking forward to the government to tell me if I'm sick or not and if I should get treatment. Another decision made.

Don't you remember? The guys on "that" side of the line you CAN'T shoot at because we are not at war with them. If they are shooting at you from the wrong side of the line, then please ask them to stop it or report them to the nearest Blue Helmet. (sarcasm intended)
There's humanitarian laws in war? Please remind me to let the folks who shot a me and killed a few friends along the way know that.
Rules of war are for those who were never asked to fight in one.
As for the games how much fun would a game be if you had to worry about a court martial all the time.
Some people forget that we play games to have fun not to imitate real life to the exact letter. Well The Sims excluded.

The sad thing is that Gaming for most people is a way to keep their kids quiet. I'm a gamer that accidentally found myself allowing my young son to spen far to much time in front of a PS1 when he was growing up. At the time, life was pretty rough with myself and ex working all hours. It was only because I was a gamer though that I actually knew what was in the games and what was appropriate for my son to see/play.
One of my ex's friends allowed her son to get straight out of bed on a school morning and sit down in front of the tv before she had got our of bed. Because he had clamoured for one of the GTA titles, and she was thick as the preverbial/couldn't be bothered, he was telling teachers about being able to get women to do a "Hugh Grant" whilst he watched the car bounce about. He was 6 1/2!!!!!
I spoke to this "mother" about this, explaining the system for grading the games and she was very non-commital. And It wasn't only her at that time in the group of friends. People thought I was a complete (not invoking Godwins Law...love that, never heard of it :-))
I now work in a school and I'm constantly shocked at what language/actions the kids talk about and wonder where all this trouble is coming from. I played numerous games and have grown up with respect for others and my surroundings but sometimes I wonder if something is happening within the media (which of course gaming is a part of and generates more income than Hollywood now a-days. Interesting subject :-)

Correction Appended
Interpol called Thursday for the arrest of the former Liberian president, Charles Taylor, for his suspected role in atrocities committed during Sierra Leone's 10-year civil war. Interpol put Mr. Taylor on its most wanted list by posting a ''red notice'' on its Web site, alerting police forces around the world to an arrest warrant issued by Sierra Leone in June.
Interpol's notice does little to change Mr. Taylor's status: he has been living in Nigeria since resigning his presidency in August as part of an American-brokered accord to end fighting in Liberia. But the Interpol action does raise the international profile of the Sierra Leone warrant, which Nigeria has so far ignored.
''It reminds the world that Charles Taylor remains a fugitive from justice,'' said Allison Cooper, a spokeswoman for the United Nations court in Sierra Leone, speaking by telephone from Freetown. ''It also demonstrates that there's no such thing as amnesty for war crimes and crimes against humanity.''
The court, set up in 2000, has argued that because Nigeria is a signatory to the Geneva Conventions, the African Convention on Human Rights and the Rome Statute that created the International Criminal Court, it is obligated to turn Mr. Taylor over for prosecution as a war criminal or try him itself.
But Nigeria's president, Olusegun Obasanjo, who granted Mr. Taylor asylum in hopes of neutralizing his influence in the region, has rejected Sierra Leone's extradition request. Mr. Obasanjo has said he might consider a similar request by Liberia, if that country seeks to prosecute its former president. Nigeria's asylum agreement with Mr. Taylor does not shield him from Liberian law.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Taylor, born to an American father and a Liberian mother, graduated from Bentley College in Massachusetts and worked in the Liberian civil service in the 1980's before he was accused of embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars. He fled and returned in December 1989 to mount a rebellion from neighboring Ivory Coast. From the beginning, his forces were accused of appalling violence. He became Liberia's president in July 1997, though the fighting in the country continued.
Mr. Taylor is charged with training and arming Sierra Leone rebels, many of them children, for that country's long and bloody civil war. Hundreds of thousands of people died during the fighting, and thousands more were left maimed by the Liberian-trained rebels who punished civilians by hacking off limbs.
Sierra Leone's war ended in 2001, and its court indicted Mr. Taylor in June. The court applied to become an Interpol member this April, and that process was completed last month, allowing the police organization to post its notice.
As with all Interpol red notices, a photograph of Mr. Taylor appeared on the organization's Web site, with the added warning: ''Person May Be Dangerous.''
Correction: January 23, 2004, Friday An article on Dec. 5 about Interpol's decision to put former President Charles G. Taylor of Liberia on its most-wanted list misidentified the issuing authority of an arrest warrant for Mr. Taylor, who has been indicted for atrocities committed during a 10-year war in neighboring Sierra Leone. As Interpol informed The Times last week, the warrant was issued by the United Nations-sponsored Special Court for Sierra Leone, not Sierra Leone itself. The article also misstated the response from Nigeria, where Mr. Taylor lives in exile. Nigeria has ignored the court's arrest warrant, not rejected an extradition request.Continue reading the main story

Winter goes hand-in-hand with the addition of the stunning effects and textures of hide and fur – be it real or faux. Michael Kors, Donna Karan and Prabal Gurung just to name a few are some such names who used leather trimming on some key pieces for added impact.
Their embellishments weren't only practical in terms of reinforcement, but aesthetic with eye catching angles and textures, typical of each designer.
This leather trend was carried easily through – as it does most years and every winter – to the streets with the particular features such as the likes of leather sleeves, cuffs, lapels and jackets as a whole.
Leather's next rung up, fur, is more often than not a touchy subject for most. Depending largely on where it comes from and how it's been treated, fur is either a favourite or an enemy on the streets and runways around the world.
This year, the likes of Versace, Roberto Cavalli and Oscar de la Renta decided fur was the way for their collection to go and did so in a typically characteristic array of colourful alternatives and options both for the body and the feet.

2016 saw a fair bit of venturing out for me with regards to products. I bought my first high end foundation, fell in love with various lipsticks and picked up a few eyeshadow palettes. In 2017, I want to venture out even further. They don't necessarily need to be make up related, though there are a fair few I'd really like to try. I see so many bloggers and vloggers using some gorgeous products, some quite old since they first hit the shelves, but have never ended up in my possession.
Here are some products I'd love to try throughout 2017.
Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation SPF 10
I have heard endless praise from beauty babes everywhere about this foundation. While I find the Urban Decay All Nighter Foundation lasts a long time, I'd love to be able to compare the two to see what the similarities and differences are.
Too Faced Melted Matte Liquefied Lipsticks
I've seen these in a lot of Instagram flat lay pictures and Oh My God, they look amazing. I'm really into matte lip products at the moment and would really love to try one of these. I haven't set my heart on a particular shade, though I must admit, this one in Miso Pretty looks really cute.
There has been a major hype of these on Facebook and after seeing some gorgeous swatches, I absolutely need them. I'm kind of sad I didn't discover these in time for Christmas and New Year's Eve, but I'd really like to try a glitter eye look a few times throughout 2017.

How to Effectively Target Your Facebook Ads
Photo of the author, Don Power by Don Power on February 06, 2012
Before you ever spend a dime creating or publishing a Facebook ad, you must first ask yourself "What are my goals for this advertising campaign?" Do you want to get more Likes to your Facebook Page? Do you want to drive more traffic to your website or do you want to sell 500 more of your widgets this month? Your answer to these types of questions will have a profound impact on the type of ads you should create and to whom they should be targeted.
For example, if you want to build awareness for your brand, Facebook ads based on "Cost per Impressions" may be a better strategy than "Pay per Click" ads. In other words, if brand awareness is the primary goal of your advertising campaign, you may benefit more from a larger number of people being exposed to your ad, as opposed to a specific number of people actually clicking on it.
Alternatively, if increasing the number of people who Like your Page is your goal, then you may want to include specific copy or incentives in your ad that make this goal very clear to your target audience. Keep in mind that you will spend a lot of time and money trying to hit your target if you don't first spend some time determining exactly what it is you're aiming at.
Do Your Research
Once you've considered the desired outcomes for your Facebook ads, do some research to determine what audience will help you achieve those goals. If you sell cosmetics and your goal is to increase the number of Likes to your Facebook Page, then chances are you'll want to primarily target women in your advertising. However, you may want to segment your audience even further by showing your ads only to women in a certain age group and geographic location. All of this demographic data, and more, can be selected as options within Facebook's Ad Manager.
Study your competition to see how and who they appear to target with their Facebook ads. Continuing with the cosmetics example above, much research exists on the type of copy, images and even colors that women (statistically speaking) respond to. Try and craft your ads in a very specific way so that they speak to the needs and desires of your target audience. If this sounds a little inexact, it is a significantly more effective approach than simply throwing an ad up on Facebook and hoping your audience responds.
Finally, keep abreast of new developments from Facebook. For example, Facebook is currently offering a discount to advertisers if their ads are designed to link to Facebook Pages as opposed to external websites. The motivating factor for this discount seems to be Facebook's desire to keep people on its site longer. However, the related data seems to suggest higher click through rates for ads that link to Facebook Pages as well, which could be a win-win strategy, especially if your goal is to increase Likes to your Page.
Deploy, Track and Improve
So, now that you know what your goals are, and you know how and to whom you're going to target your messages, you're ready to deploy some ads. Hopefully, it will be obvious that your campaign has been a success if you see a corresponding rise in Likes to your Page, increase in traffic to your website or 500 more of your widgets sold since your ads went live. If this is the case, then the conclusions and course of action you should take are clear — your ads are appropriately targeted, so do more of them!
In reality, the initial results of any given ad campaign may be a little more subtle. Use Facebook Insights and Ad Manager to track your ads' effectiveness. Depending on the data that you find, tweak your ads to try and attract more of your target audience to click your ads, or expand the reach of your campaign so that your ads are seen by more people or for longer periods of time.

Jeep may have an issue with the Renegade and is either unaware of it or in denial.
A video shot by Spanish reviewer Pablo González shows a Renegade's rear end catching serious air during a routine braking test. The video, posted on 77km.com and first noticed by Jalopnik, is alarming — the test vehicle's front end nosedives, while the rear wheels leave the pavement entirely. (Read More…)

Should you nurse your baby to sleep
I have nursed all four of my babies to sleep. I do not see anything wrong with nursing a baby to sleep. Nursing provides a lot of comfort for babies. My babies always fell asleep while nursing and then it was easy to put them down to bed.
Breastmilk has antibodies and enzymes in it that help prevent the milk from causing cavities. Feeding a baby a bottle to sleep can be harmful to their teeth if it is formula because it can possibly cause cavities.
I nurse Avery to sleep occasionally. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I do notice that she doesn't sleep as long because she either wakes up gassy or scared. She's gassy because she fell asleep before I could burp her well. She's scared because she fell asleep in my arms and woke up somewhere else. Those are the only reasons I avoid it.
It's not really a big deal though because it's pretty easy to get her back to sleep.
It's not really a big deal though because it's pretty easy to get her back to sleep.
I am the same way. I always nurse Jacob to sleep.
I think the part of nursing to sleep that is problematic is that kids don't learn to fall asleep on their own. For some babies, that isn't a problem as they don't have issues with the transition. For my kids, however, it was a problem as they used to want me to nurse them for every minor nighttime awakening, so I had to put an end to it.

Hi, in order to advertise with Zoopla you will need to register with an agent who currently has a subscription.Answered on Feb 1 2011, Report content
Yes, Zoopla and the other major sites only accept agent listings. To advertise direct, use your local paper, put a board outside yourself with a contact number - this method is very successful indeed - or use a personal site like eBay or Gumtree. You will have no difficulty, the rental market is very strong.

Unfortunately there is no facility for private listings. If you would like to advertise your property on Zoopla we would suggest contacting a local estate agent who is registered on Zoopla and instruct them to sell / let your property.

Brand new copy of the now out-of-print Dan Graham catalogue raisonne, published to accompany a major traveling exhibition held from 13 January to 25 March 2001 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Serralves, 21 June to 30 September at the Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris from 25 November to 10 February 2002 in Kroller Müller Museum in Otterlo and May to August 2002 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki.
Since the 1960s, Dan Graham has carved out a unique space in the field of contemporary art, combing his work as an artist and as a critic of architecture and art in a unique fusion of theory and practice. From the outset, Graham engaged seriously with the aesthetic and political ramifications of Structuralism, taking the artist's critical perceptions of reality to an increasingly conceptual level. His early articles grappled with the question of architecture, arguing that behind the high-rise apartment complexes and housing projects spreading over the Western world lay the phenomenon of economic and social rationalization. Since the beginning of the 1970s Graham has pursued these and other observations with installations, videos, films and large-scale pavilions that serve as thought-models for his critical insights.
This catalogue raisonne provides a comprehensive, chronological documentation of 165 works and writings from 1965 until the present day, and includes articles, written sketches, Graham's reports about his artistic activities, art critical essays, film stills, architectural models, pavilions and video rooms, as well as an extensive bibliography. With essays by preeminent critic/philosophers Benjamin Buchloh and Thierry de Duve, among others, the result is a complete and edifying look at one of the premier artist-scholars of the past thirty years.

    One of the kinds of resources I wish I wrote more about is music. No one should question the worth of books and (as research I'm doing for the Higher Ed program is showing) it seems that even our CCO-influenced students don't read much. For a religion whose founder is called The Word, and whose God communicates through a Book, evangelicals seem not to love the printed page very much. A recent reread of Os Guinness' splendid Fit Bodies, Fat Minds has convinced me that I still need to be a cheerleader for developing the life of the mind.
   But music, for many of us, our faith journey is blessed, encouraged, challenged and caressed by music. I am an advocate for listening to a wide variety of styles, if you don't have some classic baroque recordings in your collection, you are poor indeed, and one of my most-played CDs is a lovely oboe piece by Mozart. But for now, I want to recommend some recent contemporary Christian music. Specifically, I'd like to recommend some new rock-and-roll-oriented praise albums.
   Cutting Edge by Deliriou5 (Chordant). This double set has hardly left my player in over a month! At times it's like U2 doing Vineyard. Largely driven by guitars, some acoustic, some atmospheric electric, it rocks with a progressive passion like no other praise recording. Lyrically, the songs tell of angst and remorse, recommitment and renewed service, all performed with edgy arena-rock power pop.
   Creational images are used often in the Cutting Edge project and we should support such work which seems more fully biblical than some of the dualistic songs common in contemporary praise. For instance, in "You Split the Earth With Rivers," they sing You let the fields dance with the wind will you dance with me?
I especially like the images used in another song:
   Is it the wind that blows the trees?
   Sometimes you're farther than the moon
   Sometimes you're closer than my skin
   And you surround us like winter fog
   You've come and burned me with a kiss
   And my heart burns for you...
   It seems evident to me that these lads cut their musical teeth on U2. I do not mean it as a criticism, but there are numerous images, metaphors and riffs copped from Bono and company. They sing of God "scorching the Earth" in an obvious nod to "Bullet the Blue Sky" and, in a great tune about recommitment after a time of internal struggle, they say they will "raise the flag again." Even their slow-boil, haunting song "All I Want is You" has the same title as one from Rattle and Hum.
   A few Deliriou5 songs have already been making the rounds here in America. I've sung "The Prophet Song" and "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever" at various functions long before the American release. Deliriou5 has been making quite a wave in England for several years (read about it on the web at www.deliriou5.net). I cannot say enough about this very cool, very big and, I think, very successful effort at doing big worship Gen X-style.
   Dry Bones Dancing by Late, Late Service (Maranatha Music). Not to be confused with the stunning disc by Mark Heard, Dry Bones Dance, this recent release is performed in a cool style I'd call alternative acoustic. Designed for the movement of mega-teen wor-ship gatherings which are cropping up in cities all over the country, this is praise which all but the hard rockers will appreciate. Not all that different from Third Eye Blind, Dave Matthews, the Wallflowers, Hootie, et. al., it is clearly edgy yet accessible, acoustic, raw and loud. (The producer is the bluesy vocalist Chris Lizzotte whose own albums are not-able.)
   For contextualized campus worship music, I think this is very, very useful. That it draws listeners into deeper consideration and praise of God, of course, is the ultimate measure of this sort of a project; on this scale, DBD, it seems to me, is successful.
Vineyard Cafe: Shelter and Mercy (Vineyard Music). Vineyard, as most of you probably know, is the denomination of churches which are often associated with the "third wave" of the Holy Spirits outpouring (after turn-of-the-century Pentecostalism and 1970s charismatic renewal). Vineyard churches are renowned for their spirited worship and the recordings of their music (there are over 25 in the "Touching the Fathers Heart" series alone). They paved the way for very contemporary worship music, a bit cooler and rockier than Integrity/Hosanna, which was all the rage in the '80s and early '90s. Now, a decade later, two of their recent releases are unplugged/coffee-house versions of some of their earlier songs. These sparse, acoustic arrangements of pieces originally done with a big band and giant crowds have given the songs new, intimate life. I have been moved to tears by some of them; lifting one's hands in adoration while driving is not encouraged, however. Of the two, Shelter is the one I'd start with; the laid back version of the old hymn "Blessed Assurance" with the chorus, "This is my story, this is my song..." (written before the current interest in narrative theology, I might add) just blows me away.
   A few new, powerful albums which will meet the need for rockier versions of praise music include Darrell Evans' You are I AM (Vertical Music/Integrity), which really kicks. The big male voice (think Springsteen, Bryan Adams or maybe even Peter Gabriel) is obviously strong, and the lyrics, if a bit typical, are very powerful. Every group should learn the first cut on the album, "Whom Shall I Fear." The CD, by the way, is enhanced for computer buffs.
   The old label Maranatha! Music has burst onto the scene again in recent years (the Maranatha Praise Band is pretty good, although I think a little uneven). They've put out a very nice Acoustic Worship for Small Groups series, one called The Majesty of God and one called The Love of God, which come from the classic "Green Book" songbook. They are produced in "split track" format so that they can be used for small group singing if you don't have guitar-players handy.
   Real cool also are albums from an Irish band, Eden's Bridge. Stateside, two of their recordings have been released under the titles Celtic Psalms and Celtic Praise (Straightway Music). Don't be misled: this is neither cutesy leprechaun music or traditional riverdancing stuff. This is edgy a coustic praise, as done in live gigs in Ireland. Their version of the overdone "Awesome God" redeems the tune with ullian pipes and such.
   one voice by various artists (Metro One). This is a series of recordings which I have been telling folks about for a year or so. They have strikingly arty covers (torn paper and fabric art) and, ironically, include two recording artists on each CD. Sometimes, it seems to me, the singers are pretty different, which is a touch frustrating, but they have all grown on me. One of them, called You Alone Are God, has a hippy chick vocalist that is unlike any worship songs you've ever heard: atmospheric, mesmerizing, Jaime Eichler's half of the album is one of my faves! Some are a bit more edgy and alternative than others but all are truly different than the typical...
   Skallelulia! by The Insyderz (Squint). I didn't know if I should mention this. It really is 11 praise and worship standards ("Lord, I Lift Your Name on High," et cetera) and it really is the Insyderz. For those of you not in the swing of things, they are an incredibly fun and frantic ska band. I'm not sure such a zany style (and these are nothing if not zany) is conducive to genuine worship. For general group singing, though, this can't be beat, if you have a band that can do it. Of course, although not worship, exactly, the second Supertones album, The Supertones Strike Back, is one of my favorites these days. Every time my kids put it on, I dance more than they do!
   Write It on Your Heart by Extreme Teens (Rugged Records). Rugged is a record label which is concerned about the vapid and confusing nature of much hard Christian rock. (I think they misread some of it and have a narrow view of what is legitimate art/poetry for Christian musicians, but that's a different story.) Real hard and direct, their grunge, metal and hardcore bands are unmistakenly Christian. I guess it was a matter of time till they came up with a very hard modern rock release which is nothing but straight Bible text. It will be great for rockers trying to memorize Scripture, learn the songs and you've "hidden a passage in your heart", and I mention it here because some of the songs may be unplugged a bit and used in your fellowship singing. It wasn't designed for worship, but it does have possibilities as long as you pass out ear plugs.
   For a live recording, done in a traditional "praise" approach, give a listen to the Focus on the Family (no kidding!) release called renewing the heart LIVE: hymns and songs (Starsong Records) which works, for me, because of the husky-throated Kim Hill who serves as the song leader. That she has a few big black women singing with her doesn't hurt, either. It is a strangely moving mix and considerably better then I had expected. Not cutting edge, but quite nice.

GAIN Fitness, a web based personal fitness service built by a team that includes two former Googlers, has launched in early Alpha mode to the public today. The service aims to help users make the most of the limited time to exercise, by recommending personalized workouts built from a list of 400 exercises and based on a user's goals and available time.
The GAIN team includes Nick Gammell, who spent two years doing financial modeling for YouTube and Google, and Robert Bailey, who was the lead visual designer for Google-acquired Picassa. It's rounded out by a Fullbright scholar who can do a one-armed pull-up and a software engineer with a demonstrated ability to lose weight quickly.
At launch the website is quite simple (it is an Alpha, the company says) but looks like it could be a quick and easy way to get some exercise advice. Account creation doesn't appear to be live yet but the sample workout creator looks ok.
Given the backgrounds of the founders and the depth of interest in this market, GAIN is likely a startup to watch despite being a little confusing at present.
Call it "Sweatin' to the Oldies 2.0" or call it the quantified self, the application of web technology to improve real-world physical fitness is widely expected to be big.

Sergio Marchionne, chief executive of Fiat S.p.A. and Chrysler Group, will release on Oct. 30, 2012, a new timetable for Alfa Romeo's upcoming models and international expansion plans. This raises hopes that Alfa Romeo will finally return to the United States this year, as promised by Marchionne in 2011. That time, Fiat's CEO pledged that Alfa Romeo would make a U.S. comeback in late 2012 with a few units of the 4C limited-edition coupe, a prelude to a full return in mid-2013 with a compact crossover.
Then, the Giulia mid-sized sedan would follow by the end of 2013 at the earliest. However, things might go the way Marchionne promised, since none of those models seem to be on schedule.
While the 4C production model will probably be launched at the Detroit auto show in January 2013, it remains unclear if the Alfa Romeo model would be rolled out in the US. Although a large crossover or sports utility vehicle might be rolled out in late 2014, it also remains unclear when the Giulia will go on sale. Marchionne's original plan entailed North America accounting for 85,000 of Alfa Romeo's 500,000 total sales by 2014. The global sales target, however, was lowered in September 2011 to 400,000 units, partly due to delays in the redesign of the Giulia sedan and of larger vehicles, as well as the dwindling European market.
On the other hand, the Italian media are speculating that Fiat would sell Alfa Romeo to Volkswagen AG. It could be recalled that two years ago, Ferdinand Piech, chairman of VW's supervisory board, revealed that the carmaker was interested in Alfa Romeo, although there was no hurry to acquire the Italian company. Fiat, however, has declared that its Alfa is not for sale. As a matter of fact, Fiat inked a memorandum of understanding with Mazda Motor Corp. in May 2012 to jointly develop and produce a new Alfa roadster.
