|Morgans Camre
According to the website jyllands-posten.dk, Flemming Nielsen was fined 1,600 kroner (about $240) for violating Penal Code § 266 b paragraph 1, also called racism clause by the Court of Elsinore.
The punishment stemmed from a Facebook post in 2013.
The site quotes Nielsen (translation):
"I have not violated the article I was accused of. I did not mention the religion of Islam or Muslims with a word. It referred to the Islamists and the ideology of Islam," said Flemming Nielsen, immediately after the verdict to tv2.dk.
The fine is too low to be appealed, the site says.
In a similar case Mogens Camre was convicted of racism for comparing Muslims to Nazis in a 2014 Twitter post.
Camre is a former member of parliament.
According to jyllands-posten.dk the high court concluded that Camre's statements 'are by their nature capable of fostering intolerance and mistrust, like the statements as a whole is likely to incite so-called hate crimes against Muslims, says among other things.'
Camre had written: 'About the situation of the Jews in Europe: Muslims continue where Hitler ended. Only the treatment, Hitler got to change the situation' (translation).
The person behind the police report was identified as Samit Badran who claimed Camre's statements coupling Adolf Hitler's genocide of Jews and Muslims made him feel unsafe.
Camre is 80 years old.
• Prior to its aggressive effort to displace Western culture, the far-left imposed stringent laws that forbid so-called "hate speech" throughout Western Europe. The laws were a preemptive effort to silence opposition to the displacement of Western culture.
Western people have surrendered their inherent right to free speech under the guise of altruism. Similar sentiment is evident in the United States.

Categories: General Date: 01 / 12 / 2009 Title: World's Top Golfers Confirmed To Play In The Jp Mcmanus Invitational Pro-Am 2010Europe's Number One, Lee Westwood, has confirmed that he is to play in the JP McManus Invitational Pro-Am on the 5th and 6th July 2010 at Adare Manor Hotel & Golf Resort.
Westwood, McIlroy, Casey and Poulter join Woods and Harrington at Adare Manor in July 2010
Europe's Number One, Lee Westwood, has confirmed that he is to play in the JP McManus Invitational Pro-Am on the 5th and 6th July 2010 at Adare Manor Hotel & Golf Resort. He will be joined by fellow Englishmen, Paul Casey and Ian Poulter, and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy. All four players are currently ranked in the top 14 in the official world golf rankings.
Tiger Woods, the world's number one, and Pádraig Harrington, Ireland's triple-major champion and world ranked number five, who won this event in 2005, have previously committed to playing in the Pro-Am.
Westwood, the world's number four ranked golfer, topped the PGA European Tour's Order of Merit in 2009 in a season when he was a two-time winner on tour: he captured the Portugal Masters in October and triumphed in the season-ending Dubai World Championship earlier this month, a victory which enabled him to leapfrog McIlroy on the money list.
A mainstay of the PGA European Tour since turning professional in 1994, Westwood previously topped the Order of Merit for the Harry Vardon Trophy in 2000 and has featured on six Ryder Cup teams (1997, 1999, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008). Westwood, aged 36, has 20 career wins on the PGA European Tour and has recorded a total of 31 wins worldwide.
McIlroy, who finished only his second full season on the PGA European Tour as Europe's Number Two, has also confirmed he will play in the Pro-Am next July. McIlroy turned professional in September 2007 after a star-studded amateur career during which he became the youngest ever winner of the Irish Close Championship when aged 15. He turned professional after competing for Great Britain and Ireland in the 2007 Walker Cup at Royal County Down and secured his tour card almost immediately with a third place finish in the Dunhill Links in Scotland, his second tournament as a professional.
The 20-year-old from Holywood, Co. Down, Northern Ireland, won his first professional title with victory in the 2009 Dubai Desert Classic and underlined his huge potential with a third place finish in the US PGA Championship at Hazeltine. McIlroy is currently ranked 10th in the official world rankings.
Casey, who reached a career high world ranking of number three this season before suffering a rib muscle injury in July which disrupted the second part of his campaign, has confirmed his participation in next July's Pro-Am. The Englishman, currently ranked number six in the world, won three times in 2009: he retained the Abu Dhabi Championship in January and captured the BMW PGA Championship at The Wentworth Club in May, and also had a breakthrough win in the Shell Houston Open on the PGA Tour in the United States.
Poulter, winner of the Barclays Singapore Open on the European Tour earlier last month, has also committed to playing in the Pro-Am. The Englishman – a two-time Ryder Cup player – has eight career wins on the European Tour. He is currently ranked 14th in the world.
Commenting on the announcement, JP McManus said: "We are delighted that players of such high calibre have agreed to give up their time to play in the Pro-Am. Given their high world rankings, Lee, Paul and Ian are a great addition to the event and we hope they will attract great crowds to Adare next July. For the first time, spectators will have the pleasure to witness the skills of Rory McIlroy who, since turning professional on the 19th Sept 2007, has risen to 10th in the world rankings."
The aim of the JP McManus Invitational Pro-Am is to support mid-western charities and groups in their work with the underprivileged and disadvantaged. All proceeds are donated in their entirety towards the development of these services and over €55 million has been raised since its inception in 1990. Once again, the beneficiary charities are organising pre-qualifying tournaments throughout the country in a bid to enter teams in the Pro-Am.
The golf event, which has a prize fund of €1 million is comprised of 54 teams of four players competing over two days (1 professional and 3 amateurs per team). A record number of overseas and Irish people are expected to visit Limerick to enjoy the golf and the atmosphere.
This time, spectators can choose from one of eight different coloured "two day entrance caps" representing Ireland, Munster Rugby, and each of the Munster counties. At a cost of €50, the cap can be purchased on the website on www.jpmcmanusproam.com or at selected retail outlets.

Neighborly at TEDx: Building Bridges Together
In late 2016 I had the honor of speaking at TEDxBeaconStreet in Boston, MA.
View the presentation here:
Full transcript below:
My Love for the Golden Gate Bridge
When I was 10 years old, my parents brought me to America for the very first time. After flying 20 hours from Bangkok, we landed in San Francisco. The very first place we went wasn't the hotel, even though we were exhausted, and it wasn't the restaurant, even though we were starving. It was the Golden Gate Bridge.
I had always been mesmerized by the beauty of the bridge from movies and TV. But seeing it in person meant so much more.
A few years later, after I had moved to Seattle for high school, I had the opportunity to plan the senior class trip. You can guess where I took us. San Francisco, to see the Golden Gate Bridge, once again.
The Golden Gate Bridge was Almost Never Built
But did you know, the Golden Gate Bridge was almost never built.
I was surprised myself when I came across the story during my time as a graduate student at the Harvard Kennedy School.
As you know, San Francisco is a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides. So traveling to and from city was mostly done by ferry. By the early 1900s, the terminals would get so packed that the ferries would be backed up for hours.
It was clear; San Francisco needed a bridge.
But it was also during the Great Depression. The city had no money, and so the only solution was to borrow from its residents.
At the time, community members, young and old, rich and poor, small business owners and big business leaders, came together. They agreed to loan the city money by purchasing municipal bonds.
How Bonds Work
Pieces of paper like this made the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge possible. And it become the world's longest suspension bridge at that time.
But the story didn't end there for the people who invested.
At the maturity of the bond, investors would receive their original investment back.
Additionally, every year, they would clip a coupon, located at the bottom of their bonds, and go to City Hall to collect their interest payment.
In other words, helping to build the bridge by buying bonds worked just like a savings account for many San Franciscans.
So, people used them to save for home down payments, college funds, and even as rainy day funds.
Bonds = Mutual Benefits
This is just as true today as it was 80 years ago. Bonds are still being sold today by cities across America to fund all kinds of public projects, like your local parks, schools, and transit systems, which, in turn benefit you back.
All of these things were made possible by the people and the government coming together within a community investing in their future.
Tax Exemption
But besides building amazing public infrastructures, there are few financial factors that differentiate municipal bonds from other financial instruments.
First, compared to other fixed income options, most municipals bonds' returns are tax-free at the federal level, and in most cases at the state level as well! This tax exemption is the government's way of rewarding the people who invest in their community.
This is important to bear in mind when comparing the interest rates, because factoring in this tax benefit, municipal bonds can be very competitive.
Lower Default Rate
Second, compared to other bonds, such as bonds issued by corporations, municipal bonds have historically been relatively safe. Yes, there have been high profile defaults, but the default rate is very low compared to corporate bonds. Boston, for example, has the highest rating and has had a default rate of effectively 0 overall since 1970.
So, just to review:
- Municipal bonds are used to fund projects that benefit communities
- Municipal bonds are tax free at both the Federal and State level in most case
- It has relatively low default rate
- So many people use them to invest in their future, for things like college or housing.
OK so that sounds like a pretty awesome product.
How many people?
Out of curiosity, how many people here invested in municipal bonds this year? Can you please raise your hands?
Oh wow. That's not many hands at all.
Bonds Market Size
Why is that the case? Are municipal bonds not being issued today?
Well no, that's not the problem.
Municipal bonds are being issued in very large numbers.
For comparison, last year, about $30 billion of stocks were IPOed. But, over $400B of municipal bonds were issued in the same time. So this is a huge market. More than 10 time the size of new stocks.
So that's weird. Here we have a huge market that offers financial returns and is aligned with a lot of our values, but we're not involved in it.
Bond Ownership
This room is not unusual. The good news is, you're not alone. The bad news is, you're not alone.
Ownership of municipal bonds has decreased dramatically in recent decades. In 1989, the ownership of Municipal bonds by Americans was 4.6%, and now it's down by almost half. So, in many ways we are getting further and further away from investing in our own communities. But why?
Limited Marketing
Well, first of you are probably wondering why you haven't heard of these municipal bonds. The reason is that they aren't marketed widely. They are mainly marketed via industry magazines and phone calls.
Secondly, municipal bonds are mostly issued in $5,000 denominations. In a country where the average household income is $50,000, investing 10% of your income in one financial asset doesn't really make sense.
There's plenty more reasons why municipal bonds are inaccessible to many of us, but the point is, the folks who are able to own municipal bonds are not the common American.
Unsurprisingly, municipal bonds are most heavily concentrated amongst the wealthy 0.5%. Not the 1%. The 0.5%.
As you can see from this chart, while overall ownership of municipal bonds decreased by half, ownership among the wealthiest Americans increased significantly.
Denver Story
Fortunately, there's at least one city that wants to turn this trend around.
In 2014, The City of Denver needed to improve its libraries and plant more trees and decided to raise $12M. It understood that bonds in increments of $5,000 wouldn't be accessible to most folks, so they decided to issue $500 mini bonds.
On the day the sales opened, Denver sold out its mini bonds in 20 minutes. The city raised $12M in half the time we've been sitting in this room.
Denver's Mini-Bonds serve as a testament that if cities give their residents the opportunity to invest, they absolutely will.
Go Buy Bonds
So how can we replicate the story of the city of Denver, how can we replicate the story of the Golden Gate Bridge, and how can we put the public back in Public Finance?
I'm lucky enough today to be working with a team at Neighborly whose mission is exactly that: to make it easier for people to invest in the places they live, work, learn, and play, not only because we want to do so, but because our community as whole does better when we do so.
I think that it is an injustice that the majority of Americans are priced out of what is a relatively safe financial product, one that would allow us to a part of the building of our nation.
It should be easy to invest in the place that you love, in the place that you work, and most importantly, in the place that you build your dreams place where you call home.
For me, it is San Francisco, the home of the Golden Gate Bridge.
What yours?

A refrigerator is a kitchen investment that requires proper maintenance. It helps keeps our food cold and safe for human consumption for a longer period. How do you get a long and efficient life out of your fridge?
Regular cleaning and checking will reduce the maintenance cost and improve the functionality of the appliance. It is also important to enhance the energy efficiency as part of the strategy. After all, homeowners are seeking to reduce energy costs. Most people do not know that the most household appliances, inclusive of a fridge, consumes power as long it plugged into a wall socket, even when switched off.
Just like any other household appliance, it is important to maintain your fridge even if the warranty is still valid. If your fridge breaks, call a fridge repair Singapore contractor for repairs. Here are few maintenance strategies that will extend the life of your fridge.
1. Regular cleaning
Clean the fridge on the inside and outside on a regular basis. When you clean inside the fridge, switch it off first. Remove all the food items in the fridge before cleaning. Use water, mild detergent (optional) and a non-abrasive cleaning material during cleaning. Scrape off all the ice and ensure the fridge is completely dry before turning it on.
2. Condensers, vents and coils
Clean the condenser coils at the back of the fridge as they gather dust over time. Too much dust and dirt on the condenser increases energy expenditure.
Vacuum the vents and coils on a regular basis or once monthly. However, do not unplug the power cord at any time. Use baking soda to get rid of unpleasant odors. Cleaning should be done at least once a month.
3. Gaskets
Gaskets are found on the door of the refrigerator. They help keep the air on the inside cold and warmer temperatures on the outside. It is important to check the condition of the gaskets regularly.
How do you clean the gaskets? Use water and soap or vinegar. If the door is not properly closed, especially during hot weather, condensation of the gasket occurs. To prevent the condensation, apply some petroleum jelly on the gasket and remove anything that prevents the door from closing.
4. Reduce power consumption
Store food in air-tight containers as it reduces the amount of moisture accumulation. Reduction of moisture will reduce the energy consumption. Additionally, it prevents the fridge from smelling.
To reduce power consumption, ensure your fridge is far away as possible from your oven, stove or fireplace.
5. Freezer Maintenance
How do you maintain your freezer? Some freezers defrost themselves automatically. They have a drain hole that directs water into a drip pan. It is important to empty and clean the drip pan to prevent the unpleasant odor or stagnant water.
For freezers that require manual defrosting, defrosting should be done on a regular for the best performance. The frost level should not exceed a quarter inch. A thicker frost means high energy consumption as the cooling system tries to create and maintain a balance in the internal and external temperature.

Temple is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games. Temple is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win. The over is 5-1-1 in Temple's last 7 road games. Memphis is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games. Memphis is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 conference games. The over is 4-1 in the Memphis last 5 games. Temple is 4-1 ATS in these two teams last 5 meetings.
Temple has struggled scoring consistently this season, while Memphis is averaging almost 80 points per game. Memphis is a very good rebounding team, which will give them a big advantage in this game. I look for Memphis to get the win at home.

B'Tselem - The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories
New report: Presumed Guilty
Donate Online
Dear Friends,
Israel goes to considerable lengths to demonstrate that it administers the occupation, now going on fifty, in a way that does not involve systematic abuse of the human rights of Palestinians, the residents of the occupied territory. One area in which such attempts are focused is the military court system in the West Bank.
However, in a
new report
we issued last week on remand to custody by military courts, B'Tselem shows this system to be little more than a façade. There are prosecutors, defense attorneys, rules of procedure, laws, regulations, and judges who hand down rulings and verdicts couched in reasoned legal language – yet all these are essentially actors in a well-crafted charade.
The report probes the workings of the military courts by examining their routine practice of remand in custody, i.e. holding a person in detention for the duration of legal proceeding in his or her case. Although people who have been formally charged and are awaiting trial are presumed innocent, the courts treat Palestinians in that situation as guilty from the outset. With the exception of cases involving traffic violations, the prosecution regularly asks for remand in custody and the courts approve the vast majority of the motions. All this is based on a series of presumptions that the defendant has almost no way of countering.
One of the outcomes of this policy is that the vast majority of military court cases end in plea bargains. Defendants know that if they go to trial while in custody they may ultimately spend more time behind bars than in the prison sentence they would receive in a plea bargain.
In Israel's military court system, the prosecutors and judges represent an occupying regime whose interests are at odds with those of the defendants' society. Such a system cannot mete out justice – no matter how convincing the setting.

Research Director
UN report is a reminder: Over 1.5 million people live in the Gaza Strip. It is not a battlefield
The UN report on the 2014 Gaza conflict rejects Israeli government and military officials' view of what is permissible in combat in densely populated areas. The UN commission's premise differs from that of these officials, seeing Gaza as the home of over 1.5 million civilians where combat took place, not as a battlefield on which civilians live. The report states that the immense harm to civilians during the fighting cannot be justified nor can IHL be interpreted so as to legalize it, even considering the modus operandi of Hamas and other armed groups. The commission also found that the responsibility for violating IHL rests with the senior political and military officials who drew up the policy and did not change it even when its lethal consequences became clear.
June in the Jordan Valley: In 7 days of maneuvers, military temporarily displaces hundreds and causes fires in farmland
In 7 days throughout June, Israel temporarily displaced hundreds of Palestinians in the Jordan Valley from their homes in order to hold military maneuvers, bringing the total since the beginning of 2015 to 20 such days. The displacements disrupt the residents' lives and cause various difficulties, including burnt farmland in some cases, as part of a deliberate effort to pressure the communities to leave the area permanently. Israel must halt this policy immediately and enable Palestinian communities in the Jordan Valley to live undisturbed.
Military continues to use live ammunition to quell demonstrations even when not in mortal danger
B'Tselem has recently documented dozens of cases near Ramallah in which Israeli security forces injured Palestinians, some of them severely, with live gunfire. Most injuries are apparently the result of 0.22 inch bullets, whose impact is less than that of "ordinary" bullets but can still cause grave, even fatal injuries. The regular use of live fire against demonstrators in breach of regulations indicates that it is part of a policy, an unlawful policy. B'Tselem calls on security forces to stop firing live ammunition at unarmed civilians, except in extreme cases of immediate mortal danger.
Soldiers enter Palestinian homes at night, intimidating the families and disrupting their lives
On several nights in April and May 2015, soldiers entered the homes of 20 Palestinian families in the villages of 'Awarta and Madama. In each home the soldiers, some of whom were masked, ordered that everyone there be awakened, including children. They wrote down the details of the family members and the house, and took photographs of the building. Military officials told the media about training in the area which included this type of activity. B'Tselem documented four separate incidents of this type, indicating that this is a policy of blatant disrespect for Palestinians' right to live undisturbed.

On Friday 19 June 2015, a Palestinian shot two Israelis in their car by the 'Ein Bubin natural spring near Ramallah, killing one and wounding the other. The man killed was 25-year-old Danny Gonen, a resident of the city of Lod, Israel. B'Tselem expresses shock at the killing and conveys its sincerest condolences to the Gonen family and its wishes for a speedy recovery to the wounded man. B'Tselem harshly condemns any deliberate attack on civilians.
Internal information in the Yusef a-Shawamreh killing reveals: Commanders ordered live fire ambush of teens, though they posed no danger. The result: a 14-year-old killed, no one held accountable
In March 2014, soldiers killed Yusef a-Shawamreh, 14, as he crossed the Separation Barrier to pick edible plants for his family. He was shot although he posed no danger, in broad daylight. In July 2014, the MAG Corps declared the investigation closed with no charges. Examination of the military file revealed a sloppy investigation and corroborated B'Tselem's suspicion of unlawful conduct in the incident. The MAG Corps effectively sanctioned this conduct by accepting a flawed investigation and releasing the commanders from accountability.
Soldiers expel Palestinians from pool in Area A to enable settlers to bathe undisturbed
On 7 April 2015, during the Passover holidays, hundreds of settlers accompanied by Israeli security forces came to Birkat al-Karmil, a natural pool recently renovated by the Yatta Municipality as part of a new park in Area A. The troops instructed Palestinian bathers to leave the pool and the center of the park, clearing it for the exclusive use of the settlers. The incident illustrates the conduct of the Israeli authorities in the West Bank: catering to almost every settler whim at the expense of Palestinians. B'Tselem wrote to the IDF Spokesperson requesting a response to the incident, including a series of detailed questions. The IDF Spokesperson replied with a laconic response that offers no explanation for the authorities' conduct in the incident.

Girls and Boys toy labels on the way out – survey results
Our survey of toy stores and websites has found 'girls toys' and 'boys toys' signs and website navigation options are on the way out. But what more do retailers need to do to allow children to choose their interests for themselves?
Progress from toy retailers – time for manufacturers to catch up
Our research this year shows that retailers have made big strides forward in letting toys be toys, with boy/girl signage on the way out, and more imaginative adverts and promotional imagery. It's another picture from toy manufacturers, whose packaging, ads and catalogue images still rely on stereotypes.
The White House takes aim at stereotypes in children's media & toys
The recent White House conference examining the issue of gender in children's media and toys shows how the issue is being taken seriously. Sociologist Dr Elizabeth Sweet, who presented her research at the event, shares her perspective on the day.
Who gets to play? Boys and girls in TV toy ads
We've been taking a look at TV toy ads to see how they show children's play, and what picture they give viewers about boys and girls. The results are pretty depressing.
It's that wonderful time of the year, when the toy industry goes into overdrive trying to convince children which toys they desperately need Santa to drop down the chimney. But many of Santa's surprises will have been produced and promoted in the belief that boys and girls should have different toys and should be targeted separately. 'Tis the season for excessively stereotypical selling practices.

Gaps, Jenny Danes
Smith/Doorstop, 2017, £5.00
Gaps between languages
Jenny Danes's pamphlet explores the definition of 'gaps' as 'differences between views, situations, or ideas' (Collins).
The lines from the title poem encapsulate the self-conscious choreography of steps through each other's language that the speaker of the poem and her German partner undertake. These lines serve as an abstraction for the entire pamphlet:
[…] What is this complete
chance that you and I were brought up in different tongues?
How is it that we would name the same object or feeling differently
and always have done?
There is an assuredness of voice and technique at work here—many of the poems interrogate the world in which the poet finds herself:
From my sand-filled mouth
clauses trip and fall.
Dislocation is a key theme. As such, it is perhaps hard not to view these poems without the uncertainty of a post-Brexit Britain in mind. It is no accident that the poems open up into white space (there are very few full-stops at the end of Danes's poems).

- Former Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o has insisted that he won't make any return to the national team
- The player said he is too old to face the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying games
- He has faced Nigeria three times scoring two goals against the Super Eagles
Erstwhile Barcelona star Samuel Eto'o has stated that he will not be making any return to the Cameroonian national team ahead of their 2018 World Cup qualifying game against Nigeria which will come up in August 2017.
The striker was has won the African footballer of the year award four times hanged his international boots in the year 2014 after playing 118 games scoring 56 goals for the Indomitable Lions.
There have been reports in the media that the ex Chelsea forward would make a return to face the Super Eagles of Nigeria in 2017, but Samuel Eto'o has cleared the air claiming that he won't be making any return to the national team.
''No, I am too old to face the Super Eagles, and there is no point returning back to the national team because there are young generation that should be given the chance,'' he explained
The 35-year-old has faced the Nigeria Super Eagles on three occasions, the first was in the year 1997 at the LG Cup held in Tunisia, the other two games were at the 2000 and 2004 African Cup of Nations championship.
Nigeria are currently leading the Group B of the CAF 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying series with six points from two games.

Media Create Japanese Sales for week ending March 25th, 2012
This week's Media Create software chart sees five new entries in the top ten, led by Kid Icarus: Uprising on the 3DS. It's been 21 years since the last Kid Icarus title appeared on the Game Boy so it's wonderful to see the series being reintroduced with a quality title like Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Black Panther 2: Yakuza Ashura Chapter comes in at number two on the chart. The latest portable Yakuza titles appears to retain many of the same elements from the original PSP game, including graphic novel style cut-scenes and the usual assortment of hostesses to romance.
Further down the list we see the Devil May Cry HD Collection and Ninja Gaiden 3 in fourth and fifth position respectively. I'm sure NinjaGaiden 3 would have sold a lot more copies if it had been better reviewed as Ninja Gaiden games traditionally perform well in Japan.

Media Create Japanese Sales for week ending March 18th, 2012
Pokemon Company's crossover of Pokemon and Tecmo Koei's Nobunaga's Ambition series topped the charts in its first week of sales. Its 172,000 units was enough to beat Shining Blade, the latest PSP entry in Sega's Shining series, which sold 122,000 units in its first week, and the PSP conversion of the popular Madoka Magika franchise, which sold 62,000.
Other debuts this week include the PSP version of Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side Premium 3rd Story (originally released on DS), 3DS escape game If I Were in a Sealed Room with a Girl I'd Probably XXX, horse racing game Winning Post 7 2012, and visual novel/adventure game Amnesia Later.
Nippon Ichi's PS3 RPG Legasista saw a low debut with under 10,000 units sold. The PS3 version of Mass Effect 3 narrowly made it into the top 20 with 8,124 units sold.

Media Create Japanese Sales for week ending February 26th
A rash of new entries has dominated the Japanese top twenty this week, with the top six titles all newly released.
Once again, the PSP takes top spot with Namco Bandai's Tales of the Heroes Twin Brave, selling over 85,000 units to pip the newest Harvest Moon title, a 3DS exclusive, to the top of the chart.
Namco Bandai took third and fourth too, with a new PS3 Naruto title and I Have Few Friends Portable for PSP. Capcom's Asura's Wrath managed fifth, whilst Namco bracketed the new releases at the top of the chart with another PSP title, Nendoroid Generation, in sixth.
Hardware positions remained unchanged except for the 360 overtaking the PS2 after last week's resurgence for the ageing platform. 3DS is still the clear market leader for the territory, selling nearly three times as many units as nearest rival the PS3.

This week's Media Create software chart has a wide variety of genres represented in the top ten. Konami's dating sim New Love Plus was released on Valentine's Day and proved to be the biggest hit of the week - landing in first place with 104 969 units sold.
Sega's futuristic squad-based shooter Binary Domain was the week's next best-performing title with 73 683 units sold. The game is developed by the newly formed Yakuza Studio led by industry veteran Toshihiro Nagoshi.

Media Create Japanese Sales Charts for week ending January 29th, 2012
There are no less than four new games represented on this week's Media Create top ten chart, and that we finally have a PS Vita game on the podium..
PS Vita have rebounded slightly in Japan after week-over-week declines since launch, and the new handheld should send Namco a thank you card for the resurgence, as it was due to Tales of Innocence R's debut which did it. Over on Media Create's weekly software chart, the Tales game wasn't the only debut in the top three, as Armored Core V and Resident Evil Revelations took the number one and second place spots, respectively.

Media Create Japanese Sales Data - Jan 22, 2012
This week's Media Create software chart is a sorry sight, with no title selling more than just over 35K units. As we've come to expect, the list is dominated by games for Japan's most popular system - the 3DS - with Mario Kart 7 staying on top.
There are four new entries on this week's chart: Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure, Onechanbara Z: Kagura, Heroes Phantasia and Beyond the Labyrinth.
None of them sold particularly well but at least their presence on the chart indicates that the pace of video game releases is once again heating up as we approach February.
The most interesting detail to be gleaned from future Media Create reports is whether PS Vita software will make any sort of impact on the top ten chart. The fact that every PSV title is also available on the PlayStation Store from day one will definitely eat into retail numbers, so we'll just have to wait and see what kind of chart positions PSV software manages to achieve.
The full top 20 for the week with LtD sales in parentheses is posted below.

Media Create Charts for week ending Jan 15th, 2012
It's time for the weekly Japanese Media Create charts. The narrative is about the same as it has been for a while now: 3DS maintains a tight grip on the software chart, while the system is pretty much the only thing selling very sell in the hardware chart.
However, Mario Kart 7 was kept off the top of the chart for the first time in a few weeks by a new Super Robot Wars on PSP. Other notable new releases included Tecmo and Nintendo's Spirit Camera, which had a quiet opening week; and the 3DS debut of Namco Bandai's Ace Combat series, which seems to be finding its feet on a Nintendo platform.

Media Create Japanese Sales Charts for Week Ending November 13th, 2011
Last week's Media Create software chart featured a number of Western games, but the latest results are decidedly Japanese in flavour. Sega's rhythm game for the PSP - Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Extend - is the best selling title this week, notching up sales of 184,673 units.
Sengoku Basara 3: Utage also charted well, coming in at second and sixth place on the PS3 and Wii respectively. This historical beat-em-up looks very similar to Dynasty Warriors, although Capcom have clearly added a few ingredients of their own to spice up the experience.
In seventh spot is Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD Edition on PS3. In Japan Peace Walker HD was released before and separately from Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 HD (unlike in the West). This decision on Konami's part may end up being the wrong one as Peace Walker HD made a smaller splash than expected with just 39,743 copies sold during its first four days on sale.
You can find the rest of the top ten chart entries below, while this week's hardware figures also make for an interesting read.

Firm's new website unlocks overseas market
A Northern Ireland property company has secured business in Abu Dhabi after launching a new website.
AD Group, based in Co Londonderry, has more than 25 years experience in all aspects of the property and construction sector.
The company offers environmental and energy services, insolvency support, project management and consultation.
Past clients include the Northern Ireland Housing Executive while AD has also worked on historic properties like Dungiven Castle and the Crosskeys Inn.
The new contract is linked with Abu Dhabi International airport and work is due to commence with early 2012.
More details are expected to be unveiled at a later stage.
AD Group managing director said that the business is targeting more work in other countries and has encouraged other firms to follow suit.
"The situation is difficult in the home market," he said.
"But it is possible to export a service overseas.
"Proper marketing is the key and we certainly have all the skills necessary to compete in a world market.
"Northern Ireland firms should push themselves out there, work will come."

For anyone thinking of doing an end zone dance to celebrate the police and fire pension deal, don't.
Even though the agreement struck between Mayor Alvin Brown and John Keane, representing the Jacksonville Police and Fire Pension Fund, is probably the best we are going to get, we have yet to cross the goal line.
Two menacing obstacles stand in the way: the source of the extra $40 million Brown pledged to put into the fund annually to pay off the $1.65 billion pension debt more quickly and a guarantee that money will be there every year until the goal of having the pensions 80 percent funded is met.
If I were on the City Council, I wouldn't sign off on the agreement until those issues are settled.
Brown's position is the extra $40 million annually can come from JEA.
He argues that by allowing JEA to move its employees who are now in the city's general employee pension plan to one administered by JEA can save the utility enough money to cover the $40 million annual payment without having to raise rates.
There are problems with that.
If there are savings for JEA, the bulk of them wouldn't come for years while JEA would have to begin making the payments on the front end.
JEA is also facing financial challenges of its own.
New environmental regulations for its coal-fired plant are projected to cost $100 million, and additional costs for other regulations could reach $1 billion.
JEA is studying Brown's proposal but won't have an answer until November, which is past when the council needs to act on the pension agreement.
In any case, the odds of JEA going along are slim.
The task force that studied the pension mess recommended a different way of coming up with the extra money.
It proposed a half-cent increase in the sales tax that the state allows for funding fire departments.
That would provide about $68 million a year and could replace general fund money now going to fire operations, thus freeing up that money for the extra contribution to reduce the unfunded liability.
But that's a complex process. The state requires that the city's ad valorem revenue be reduced by the same amount the increased sales tax brings in.
Without a property tax increase beforehand, that would be a zero sum game. And voters would have to approve the sales tax hike in a referendum.
A property tax hike to be replaced by a sales tax increase could be confusing to voters.
There's the additional problem that the money for the fund's debt wouldn't be guaranteed since one council can't bind a future council when it comes to annual appropriations of general fund money.
So here's a perhaps lamebrained, perhaps not, idea:
The city currently has a 1 percent discretionary sales tax in place — the half-cent that replaced tolls and the half-cent for the Better Jacksonville Plan.
The state would allow that to rise to 1.5 percent, but there would be restrictions on how that money could be used.
One allowable use is to pay for local infrastructure.
If general fund money is now being used for that purpose — road and drainage work, purchasing heavy equipment for Public Works, buying fire trucks, rescue units and police vehicles, making improvements to conservation lands — the sales tax could free up that money.
And a contract could be written with JEA saying that $40 million of the annual contribution it makes to the general fund would be committed to pay off the pension debt instead.
That could be done without a rate increase as the total JEA contribution would stay the same.
Voters would have to approve the sales tax increase, but an initial increase in property taxes wouldn't be needed.
The result would be a dedicated source of revenue and a guarantee it would be there each year.
There probably are a lot of reasons this wouldn't work, but people smarter than me need to come up with an idea that will.
A solution has to be found now, not later.

Write your goals down! Be specific. "I want to loose 10lbs over the next 6 weeks." or "I want to cook for myself 5 days a week"
Tip #2
Make realistic and attainable goals. This is key. If you haven't ran in years, setting a goal to run 5 miles a day 5 days a week would not be advisable. Set an attainable goal and then you can set a new goal once you've achieved it. For example, set a goal to run 2 or 3 miles 3 days a week. After several weeks of this, set a new goal to run 3-4 miles a day 4 days a week. So on and so forth. You get the pictures.
Tip #3
Reward yourself for hitting goals. Preferably not with food...but with a spa day, a weekend trip, or a shopping spree for new Nikes. For example, If I loose 10 lbs in 6 weeks I will treat myself to a mani-pedi.
Tip #4
Find yourself a workout buddy. They will also be your accountability partner. If you and "Sam" have a gym date or you signed up for the same class you will be much less likely to bail. You could also create a pot where you and your friend are required to donate X amount of money ever time you cancel. At the end of every month you can donate your cancellation money to a charity.
Tip #5
Schedule your workout into your day and treat it like an important work meeting. Having a pre-planned chunk of time carved out of your day for fitness will have a much better success rate than just winging it.
Tip #6
Make it fun! If your ultimate goal is to burn calories then it doesn't need to be a formal workout. You can take classes, go dancing, hike, swim, the options are endless. If you absolutely hate running then don't! You will be more likely to reach your fitness goals if you actually enjoy the process!
The last thing to keep in mind is to take it easy on yourself. Slip ups happen. We all stumble. This never means throw in the towel! Always pick yourself up, brush off the dust, and get back at it! Even if you digress at times, its easier to catch up then to start over!

I think you tought me everything!
To Jewlian of Norwalk Gimmel (third letter in the Hebrew alphabet) is the name of the Hebrew letter that appears on that side of the Dreidel. The word Gantz is a yiddish word which begins with the letter Gimmel. The letters on the dreidel actually are the first letters in the four Hebrew words Nes Gadol Haya Sham (which translates as 'A Great Miracle Happened There') The yiddish words quoted are plays on these four letters that represent the actions you take in the game of dreilel -- as explained on this page.
The 4 sides
What is the difference between the quoted name and the proper name. Example:

nicceeeee im at school typeing this but i done reseach on hanukkah and it told me everything i needed
i love the website
This website is great...
to the person who asked the origin of dreidle is that when the greek syrian army didn't want jews to practice judaism, the jewish people would still practice it. But, the greek syrian army would come to check on the jewish people to make sure they weren't practicing it. The jewish people would pull out a dreidel and pretend to just be playing a gambling game...instead of studing the Torah and practicing judaism.
Dreidel This is the first year that my children are really having a bright and great Chanuka. They are playing games , helping us to light the candles, and I´m introducingo this site for them. Thanks
What is the origin of Dreidel play?
Above you refer to Yiddish language?
Is Dreidel play from the Diaspora?
I'm almost 43 yrs old (dec 26) and I never learned how to play dreidle and never knew what the letters meant
Thank Goodness for this site
