I'm not really familiar with ROM cooking etc., but does this mean that kooks can optimize their ROMs?
It (probably) means that custom 4.4 ROMs (like Cyanogen and Omni) can become more stable and with less bugs. There have been long-standing issues with e.g camera and bluetooth. Hopefully these updated Samsung sources could contain some fixes.
Google said the 5.0 AOSP should be ready for download from tomorrow.

Will this commemorative 1916 design be worn by Ireland for forthcoming friendlies?
The FAI and kit manufacturers Umbro are in discussions with the government for permission to use a commemorative design to mark the 1916 Rising for the forthcoming international friendlies.
Martin O'Neill's side continue their preparation for Euro 2016 and will face Switzerland and Slovakia in next month's double header at the Aviva Stadium.
Last night Umbro have issued a sneak preview of a special design to mark the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising and Independent.ie understands that discussions are taking place between the FAI, Umbro and the government to allow the crest be used for the friendly games.
The Ireland crest is a government logo and requires permission to be altered.
The parties are not seeking to have the design for Euro 2016 because UEFA would not allow the design change for obvious political reasons.
Should the design get the green light, sources have told Independent.ie that the jerseys will not go on public sale and will be reserved for the players only.

Sleep apnea affects different people in different ways. The human body is amazing in its ability to adapt. Some people can adapt to the sleep deprivation better than others. Certainly people react to it differently. Some people are the type who can fall asleep anywhere anytime and when they get sleep-deprived they just get sleepy and fall asleep repeatedly throughout the day. Others have trouble falling asleep and just spend all day grumpy and irritable when sleep-deprived.
The distinctions of mild, moderate and severe are used by medical professionals. They have to classify things so they can do research on them. One thing we know is that if you have an AHI of 5 you're awakening, on average, once every 12 minutes. That's gonna interfere with the quality of your sleep and therefore the quality of your life. It will lead to heart disease. It will kill you!
An AHI of 5 is at the low end of mild.

There are several ways to support the QiC Programme, and partners have the opportunity to help develop the programme alongside NHS and patient group experts.
QiC partners will benefit from exclusive networking opportunities with experts in the therapy area landscape over the lifecycle of each award programme.
"Innovation is never easy, and sharing that innovation takes time, time nobody has these days. Every day there are dedicated men and women working in the NHS to improve the lives of patients, seeking new and improved techniques or processes that will make a difference. Sadly these innovations don't get shared as often as everyone would like. This is why BMS are proud to support the QiC Oncology programme. QiC Oncology rewards and recognises excellence in innovation within the NHS and the wider healthcare environment. The best examples are then shared through the QiC website and at other opportunities throughout the year. The NHS is good at innovation and Bristol-Myers Squibb is happy to support the spread of that innovation."

We are not super-fussy about which grocery store...just need some water, milk, fruit, and breakfast items. Our plan is for me and the kids to ride DME for fun and to get our luggage transported without having to wait for it, meanwhile DH will walk straight out to the Alamo lot alone and drive the rental car to POR with a grocery stop on the way. He is being a good sport about it, but would like good detailed directions. In case it matters we will be arriving around 4pm on a Sunday, so rush hour traffic should not be an issue. THanks!

What is a Startup?
The term 'startup' usually refers to a technology or technology-enabled company. Typically, these companies are newly-formed businesses that are in the stage of figuring out how it will repeatably make money. It is important to note that most startups are small businesses (which refer to a company's size and revenue). But not all small businesses are startups. Startups are or have intentions to become high-growth and scalable companies. For example, a new catering company may be considered a small business and not a startup. This is because the company's growth is directly tied to its ability to handle demand. A catering company with 3 employees may not be able to service more than 10 events per day. Their ability to handle demand is directly tied to its number of employees. A counter example is a new mobile gaming company with 3 employees. The cost to make a mobile game will cost the same whether 1 person or 1 million people download the app.

Contrary to popular demand, the TWMX Peeps Show is back again. Yep, this is the place for all the TransWorld MX readers to show off their bikes and riding style, as well as bench race, lie a little, and score a little exposure for themselves. We've got three new members of the TWMX Peeps Show to introduce this week…
BRETT CUE and RONNIE CUE
Age(s): 17, 52
Classes Raced: Brett: 250 B, Open, and 4 Stroke. Ronnie: +50
Favorite Tracks: Cooperland!!
Tales: My dad got me into racing and riding and we have been riding together for about eight years now. When I was first starting out up until I started to race a couple years ago, he was always faster than I was and he would get behind me when we were out riding and push me, but now that I'm faster than he is, I get to have a little fun and go mess with him… It's just payback for all the times he made ME feel like a goon! Even though he has ridden and raced long before me, I have been around motocross my whole life and it's my favorite thing there is to do! I don't know where I would be or what I would do if it was not for motocross. Check out the awesome website a good friend of mine, Jim Azbill (www.azbilldesigns.com) made for me. It's www.azbilldesigns.com/Brett. All pictures on the site were taken by John Craft of www.3onefourfotos.com. Thanks again to Jim and John!

Name: Vegard Bergene
Age: 17
Hometown: Larvik, Vestfold, Norway!!
Favorite track(s): My backyard!
What's cool about your bike: It's butt-ugly! I have never seen the same bike anywhere!! It still has stock graphics, and the rear wheel looks bigger than the front wheel!
A Favorite Story about your bike: Since both my riding and my ride suck, everybody laugh, and I really mean LAUGH, when I'm riding. I can't show off with some jumping either, because the shock-rebound is broken. 🙁 The steering-head bearing is also broken, so the handling isn't all that good. I bought the bike for 1500NOK, that is about 200 US dollars!;)
If you want more photos, or info, mail me. 😉
Uh, I think we've seen enough photos of your fine ride, Vegard…but thanks for the offer. ¿ GuyB
David Vuillemin sent this photo of his daughter Charlotte (along with one very scary Shark helmet liner) for the Peeps show. Way to go Charlotte…and DV.
Want to see yourself in the TWMX Peeps show? E-mail digital photos and text to firstname.lastname@example.com. Be sure to include all the pertinent stuff like your name, age, where you're from, tracks you ride at, tall tales, and anything else you think we need to know. We know you've got the pics, let's see them. Oh, and realize we reserve the right to heckle your ride (if it resembles one of those eBay "factory bikes").

Leh, Mar 30 (ANI): A bank run for street children at Leh in Kashmir has enabled them to become self- reliant.
A non-government organisation called Leh Nutrition Project started the Children Development Khazana (Bal Vikas Bank) in 2005 with the support of 'Butterflies', Programme with Street and Working Children, an NGO based in Delhi.
The aim of establishing this Khazana is to protect the interests of street children by enabling them to save money for their future.
"This Khazana is open every Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon for those children who want to deposit their money and most of the children deposit 10 rupees to 15 rupees every week. In the beginning, twenty children opened their account. Presently, fifty children have their accounts. I hope in future, more children will come forward to deposit money in this bank," said Tundup Tsomo, Manager, Children Development Khazana.
Encouraged by the initiative of the Children Development Khazana, parents of a lot of street children have also started saving small amounts of money for their children.
"In 2005, a Khazana was opened here in the village and it proved very helpful for our children. We started depositing money for our children's future. Earlier, we were not used to save money, but this Khazana has enabled us to do so," said Tashi Jorgais, a resident, Chushot village.
The funds collected are used to encourage children to set up their own business activity when they grow up so that they become self-reliant and do not have to face a tough time earning their livelihood.
So far altogether 356 children have managed to deposit a total amount of more than one hundred thousand in this Khazana.
Started in April 2001, the project was conceptualized and initiated by Butterflies, as a vehicle to empower street and working children.
The project is operational in the South Asian region with 75 main branches and 49 sub branches of Khazana operational in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
Within India, Children Development Khazana is also in Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi and Mujaffarpur (Bihar). By Nitin Bhatia (ANI)

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Nov. 25, 2016) – The crowd inside the Sanford Pentagon saw a tale of two halves Friday night.
After going 1-of-6 from the free throw line and allowing the Milwaukee Panthers to shoot 63 percent from the field in the first half, the ETSU men's basketball team improved to 15-of-21 from the charity stripe and held the Panthers to 18 percent shooting in the second half, as the Buccaneers cruised to an 86-62 win on the opening day of the Sanford Pentagon Showcase.
With the win, the Bucs improve to 3-1 on the season, while the Panthers dropped to 1-3. ETSU will move on to face South Dakota State on
Saturday with game time set for 5:30 p.m. inside the Sanford Pentagon.
"I thought we went in at halftime and made some good adjustments – especially defensively," said ETSU head coach Steve Forbes. "Our big guys started to control the rim too. We were blocking shots and playing the way we want to play. We were a little too three happy offensively in the first half, and I think once we started to settle down and play inside out that made the difference. We are capable of making threes, but the strength of our team is inside and that's where the ball has got to go. We did that more as the game progressed."
The Bucs indeed found their rhythm on both ends of the floor after the break, as the lockdown defense led to a 21-9 edge in points off turnovers, while the inside strength led to a dominating 46-22 advantage for points in the paint. ETSU ultimately finished with six players in double figures and every player on the Bucs' bench scored points in the game.
Senior post Hanner Mosquera-Perea (Istmina, Colombia) led the way offensively with 15 points, while fellow senior A.J. Merriweather (Jackson) pitched in 13, junior transfer David Burrell (Milwaukee) netted 12, and junior guard Devontavius Payne (Carbondale, Ill.) collected 11. In addition, both senior guard T.J. Cromer (Albany, Ga.) and senior forward Tevin Glass (Norcross, Ga.) each scored 10 points, with Cromer dishing out a game high six assists. Burrell also had a game high nine rebounds.
The Bucs led the majority of the first half, only falling behind by five at 16-11 with 11 minutes left before the break. At that point, a 10-2 run gave ETSU the advantage at 21-18 and from there they increased the lead to as many as seven at 37-30 and 39-32.
However, despite shooting 55 percent from the field, the Bucs issues at the free-throw line allowed the Panthers to stay close. In fact, a 3-pointer from guard Brock Stull with five seconds left in the half made it 41-38 at the break. For the half, Milwaukee matched the Bucs hot shooting from outside by hitting on 63 percent of its shots.
After the break, the Bucs turned up the heat on defense, going to an aggressive 1-3-1, trapping zone defense to force multiple Milwaukee turnovers. ETSU cashed in on the offensive end, putting together an 11-1 run highlighted by a pair of 3-pointers from Payne, and building its lead to 58-42.
From there, the Bucs continued to stymie the Panthers' offense, while also improving on their free throw shooting, going 11-of-12 at the line over the next eight minutes to build a 71-51 lead with seven minutes left in regulation. The Bucs never looked back at that point and went on to enjoy the 24-point victory.
ETSU will play again in the Sanford Pentagon Showcase on Saturday, facing host South Dakota State at 5:30 p.m. The third and final game of the event will be on Sunday, as the Bucs take on UC Irvine at 12:30 p.m.

EU State Aid
European Court of Justice (ECJ) dismisses European Commission's (Commission) appeal against annulment of decision on state aid granted to Hungarian oil and gas company. On 4 June 2015, the ECJ dismissed in its entirety an appeal by the Commission against a General Court ruling annulling the Commission's decision that aid granted to the Hungarian oil and gas company MOL was incompatible with the internal market. The aid measure comprised a 2005 agreement that extended MOL's mining rights and set mining fees for the duration of an agreement, and a 2008 amendment to the Mining Act that increased mining fees set by general law that applied to MOL's competitors. The ECJ upheld the General Court's view that the 2005 agreement between the Hungarian State and MOL does not constitute state aid.
ECJ ruling on application of state aid rules to German tax on the use of nuclear fuels for electricity production. On 4 June 2015, the ECJ handed down its ruling on a preliminary reference from the Hamburg Finance Court on whether Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) precludes national legislation that levies a duty on the use of nuclear fuel for the commercial production of electricity and, if it does, whether those liable for payment of such a duty may challenge it on the ground that it constitutes prohibited state aid. The reference concerned the German Law on excise duty on nuclear fuel, which introduced, for a specific sixyear period, a duty on the use of nuclear fuel for the commercial production of electricity, with a view to raising revenue intended to contribute to a reduction in the burden entailed for the Federal budget by the rehabilitation required at a mining site where radioactive waste from the use of nuclear fuel is stored. The ECJ ruled that the German Law on excise duty on nuclear fuel is not a selective measure, and so does not constitute state aid prohibited by Article 107(1) of the TFEU.

ECJ rejects Stichting Corporate Europe Observatory's (Stichting's) appeal. On 4 June 2015, the ECJ dismissed Stichting's singleground appeal of the General Court's judgment to not annul the Commission's 2010 decision, which refused Stichting full access to documents relating to negotiations between the European Union and the Republic of India aimed at concluding a free trade agreement pursuant to the third indent of Article 4(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents. The ECJ rejected two parts of the singleground appeal as inadmissible, and rejected the third part as unfounded. The ECJ ordered Stichting to pay the costs of the appeal.
Public Procurement
Advocate General Opinion on whether Directive 2004/18 precludes tender specifications which require winning tenderers to enter into agreements with entities it relies on to perform contract. On 4 June 2015, Advocate General Wathelet gave an Opinion on a reference for a preliminary ruling from a Latvian court on whether Articles 47 and 48 of Directive 2004/18 should be interpreted as precluding specifications in public procurement tenders which insist that, in the event of the contract being awarded to a tenderer which relies on the capacities of other contractors, that tenderer must, before the contract is awarded, enter into a binding co operation or partnership agreement with those undertakings. The Advocate General considered that such an obligation seems contrary to Directive 2004/18 in that economic operators are permitted to rely on the capacities of other entities as part of their tenders subject only to the condition that they are able to prove that they are able to rely on the other entities.
Speeches & Publications
New Crown Commercial Service guidance concerning Framework agreements under Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015).

The guidance, in particular, explains the changes that the PCR 2015 have made to framework agreements.

Striving for excellence
The College community gathered this morning to celebrate more than 110 boys who have achieved excellence in various areas of their studies in the past year.
The assembly recognised boys who have achieved Colours in the fields of Academics, Arts, Sport, House and Service for three consecutive years, and so are now awarded Honours.
Boys from years 8 to 11 who achieved at least 80% A grades in their reports last year were also recognised and awarded Certificates of Excellence.
The presence of more than 60 parents was a welcome addition to the event, as Principal Shaun Kenny explained when addressing students at the assembly.
"We know that everything we achieve at the College, and everything that you achieve personally is largely down to yourselves, with the assistance of the staff, as well as the support you receive at home," he said.
"Without all three of those elements working in unison, we achieve very little."
Mr Kenny also used the assembly as an opportunity to remind boys of the challenge they are presented with every day they're at the College.
"Each one of you is called to excellence in every pursuit you undertake," he said.
"What we call upon you to do on every occasion is to prepare thoroughly and do your best at those times. When you do that, you will achieve excellence, and as a school, we will count that as excellence.
"By the end of this year, I would like to shake the hand of every one of you and acknowledge your effort in some sphere of the activities at this school, because you are striving for excellence and doing your best."
A key quality of a CBC gentleman is that he strives to be his best, and understands the value of doing so. The College firmly believes in rewarding and recognising boys who constantly provide their best effort in any field.

Jets' Vick will always be grateful toward Eagles
Credit: The Associated Press
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Michael Vick remembers taking the drive to Philadelphia to restart his NFL career — and loathing every minute of the ride.
He was getting a second chance after serving nearly two years in prison for his role in a dogfighting ring. But Vick wasn't sure if the Eagles were the right fit.
What if, he thought, after all this time away from football, he was making a huge mistake?

Police to investigate cybernat abuse aimed at JK Rowling
POLICE are to launch a probe into the online abuse of author JK Rowling after she donated £1million to the No campaign.
An investigation into the vile comments towards the Harry Potter creator is expected to begin this week after a student made a formal complaint.
It comes as Scotland's top law officer warned both cybernats and unionists to stop making abusive or threatening remarks or risk prison.
Frank Mulholland, the Lord Advocate, said there was "a line which should not be crossed" in the debate. The Crown Office is to issue guidelines later this year for users of social media, police and prosecutors, making clear when online conduct represents a crime.
We will consider any complaint about online abuse seriously and investigate as appropriate
Mr Mulholland said: "Politicians of all parties have made it clear that the debate needs to be conducted respectfully.
"Everyone is entitled to express an opinion but people should be aware that whichever side of the debate they are engaging in there is a line not to be crossed. If you take yourself above that line and post grossly offensive or threatening comments then you run the risk of being investigated, charged and prosecuted."
It is understood anyone found guilty of an online crime, including tweets or posts with an anti-English or sectarian dimension, faces a strong sentence.
Edinburgh-based Ms Rowling was bombarded with foul-mouthed messages last week after making her donation.
Announcing her support for Better Together, the 48-year-old writer compared extremist separatists to the fictional Death Eaters in her novels.
A student living in the Capital has now complained to police over at least one Twitter post which "distressed" her.
The 18-year-old said: "I found this extremely distressing and aggressive. Language like this makes me feel unsafe to voice my opinions online and in the independence referendum."
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: "We will consider any complaint about online abuse seriously and investigate as appropriate."
For Better Together, Labour MSP Jackie Baillie said: "The message is clear – the people of Scotland are sick and tired of online attacks."
Entrepreneur Sir Tom Hunter yesterday warned that "cyber nutters" risk tainting Scotland's standing as a welcoming country. He said: "They do Scotland a huge and embarrassing disservice."
A Yes Scotland spokesman said: "Abuse, from wherever it comes and whatever form it takes, is totally unacceptable. If it becomes criminally offensive then it is right police investigate."
Meanwhile, a poll yesterday suggested almost two in five Scots (38 per cent) believe the country will be left "badly divided" whatever the outcome. The ICM poll also found 42 per cent said members of their family have different views.
It showed the gap between Yes and No has narrowed, while another poll for Yes Scotland showed support for independence has reached a "high" of 48 per cent.
The Yes Scotland poll, conducted by Panelbase, found 43 per cent of those surveyed backed a Yes vote, while 46 per cent supported No and 12 per cent were undecided. When those undecided were excluded, Yes stood at 48 per cent while a No vote was at 52 per cent.

The Tragic Past of Galang Camp
Galang Island rests quietly in the calm sea, indistinguishable from thousands of other green Indonesian islands near the Equator south of Singapore. But for tens of thousands of Vietnamese "boat people," the United Nations refugee camp on this island represented a single, thin ray of hope. For most of those who boarded small, rickety boats to escape Vietnam after the war in search of new and happier lives, Galang will not be what they hoped to find.
Laying a thick trail of oily diesel smoke low across the glassy sea, the noisy boat violates nature's tranquility as it slices toward the wooden dock on this tiny, emerald isle. One would never suspect this forested point of land protruding unassumingly from the warm ocean was be home, at any one time, to nearly 20,000 desperate people who had no idea what their futures would hold. They risked everything in the belief that their new lives, or the lives they hoped to live someday in another country, would prove better than those they left behind.
The people who arrived on Galang already passed a difficult test. They rolled the dice on a dangerous ocean voyage and won. Many others lost that gamble. Pirates troll the seas in search of easy prey, and often find it. Many Vietnamese were robbed, killed or raped shortly after they gathered their meager possessions and set off in the cloak of darkness in search of freedom and opportunity. A small shrine on the island pays tribute to three women who, after suffering the humiliation of rape during their journey, took their own lives.
Statistics from United Nation shows that 850,000 refugees have settled in foreign nations, equal to that number are 850,000 victims, eternally resting along their journey to find freedom and happiness. There are many bitter tales to tell, on how the courage and faith brought the survivors to better living environment. At the same times, many forgotten souls who are the fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends of the fortunate survivors, cannot make it, but rested in the remote forests or deep in the ocean bed.
This article means to pay tribute to the courageous souls, and not let this tragic history of humanity be forgotten.
The Vietnamese refugee camp on Galang Island in Riau province of Batam, Indonesia, have many bitter tales to tell of the tragedy that befell countless victims of the conflict between two opposing ideologies at the peak of the Cold War.
More than 250,000 boat people who made the perilous trip to escape the war between communist North Vietnam, and first France, and then America in South Vietnam, may have arrived on this island as refugees. They left their country in wooden boats. Hundreds of refugees were packed like sardines in boats capable of carrying only around a dozen passengers. The first Vietnamese boat, carrying 24 refugees, reached West Bunguran in the Riau Islands on May 22, 1975. The refugees used as a guide the flames from an oilfield in Udang. They staked their lives to come to Galang, braving the huge waves of the South China Sea.
More and more refugees arrived that numbered as many as 250,000, housed in a number of different places: Air Baja, Tanjung Unggat and East Bintan. In 1979, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) took the responsibility of caring the refuggee and decided, after reaching an agreement with the Indonesian government, to setup a refugee camp on an 80-hectare site on Galang island. From then on, Galang Camp was born.
At that point, the United States had accepted 82,060. In 1991, Canada became home to 13,516 people, followed by Australia's acceptance of 6,470. Other countries had not stretched their arms as widely. Japan accepted only 113 people. Spain, Italy, Argentina and Ireland took fewer than 20 each. Meanwhile, scores of people continued to arrive from the open sea on overloaded vessels. An additional 50 were being born in the camp each month.
The hardship for Galang refugees intensified as many nations strengthened their resolve not to accept any more boat people. Often, the overloaded boats arriving in countries throughout southeast Asia were simply pushed back out to sea.
The camp staff and U.N. workers had a very difficult job, beyond providing meager shelter, rations and minimal health care. They were to determine which of those people arriving would quality for refugee status and possible resettlement in other countries. In a way, they were burdened by the grave decision making of assigning life and death to them, literally. Under a small open-air shelter, the serious business of casting fates was being conducted. Each person was interviewed when arrived, soon determining whether an applicant's qualifications for resettlement could be met – whether the individual was to be 'screened in' or 'screened out.'
Those unable to prove themselves political refugees under United Nations definition – or with no close relatives in other countries to sponsor them – faced a bleak future. Some eventually returned to Vietnam, some remained for years in the camp, hoping against hope to someday be "saved." That crucial decision made all the difference for tens of thousands of people. With the passage of time since the war, increasing numbers of applicants were found to be economic migrants, technically not refugees, and therefore they did not qualify for resettlement in the United States. The interview sometimes lasted more than an hour. Eighty percent of the time, in 1991, the decision rendered was unfavorable.
In the newspaper report, it was said that UNHCR representatives were instructed not to stay overnight in the camp. But it is at night when almost all the atrocities happen. "If you are beautiful then you are in trouble," said Jin Ching Danh, 30. Women being raped and men got beaten up became a thing of common in the camp.

Over the years, at least 12 Galang inmates who had been screened out as economic migrants have tried to commit suicide. More trouble could lie ahead as the country winds down its refugee determination process and inmates realise they have no hope of resettling abroad.
In 1994, tension rose to a peak among the Vietnamese refugees as the UNHCR was unable to guarantee their future. Many refugees went on hunger strike. They demanded clear decisions on what was going to happen to them: whether they qualified as refugees and which countries they would be sent to.
Click here for the full story of "Hunger Strike in Galang".
Many refugees were disappointed at the results of the screening that was carried out to determine whether they qualified as refugees. This was crucial to deciding whether they would be sent to third countries or whether they would be deported back to Vietnam.
Many of them failed to qualify as refugees. One of the reasons, according to the UNHCR, was that some of them had criminal records back in Vietnam. The thought of going back to Vietnam, however, caused great distress among the boat people.

Eventually the horror of suicide began in Galang Camp.
On September 2, 1996, the tragic mass suicide ensued. The UNHCR decided to close down the refugee camp and deported the remaining refugees to Vietnam as no third countries were willing to accept them. More cases of suicide were listed below.
Third countries, particularly the United States, the third main choice after Canada and Australia, were selective in accepting Vietnamese refugees. One of the main requirements was that they must have certain skills, and be clever and rich. This is a ridiculous criteria for considering the torn-out refugees in the camp who were mostly common folks.
There are 503 graves of Vietnamese boat people here and most of these people committed suicide because they refused to be deported back to Vietnam. Anybody can feel their sadness. They shouted in despair and many of them cut their own throats just like slaughtering chickens.
Life broke down after much tremors happened in the camp. The Vietnamese people, though brave and courageous who left their homes and explored new life aboard, they were human after all. The stress of losing their close family members, relatives, friends and hope, led some of them to destruction. Murder and suicide attempts were as high as the number of rapes. Suffering in such a living hell, plus the rejection from the screening process that shattered their hope of survival, pushed these poor people further into fire.
The following lists several suicide cases chronologically which are only a tip of the iceberg; many other tragedies would have gone unreported.
More than 6,000 boat people, however, were forced to return because they were not considered victims of political or religious persecution. Out of these 6,000, the number of people who killed themselves was kept in low profile, hence was not exactly known.
A tour guide called Mohammad Yono said approximate hundreds of refugees committed suicide by hanging themselves or throwing themselves into ravines after they were denied refugee status and faced forced repatriation.
"This place is haunted. Many ethnic Chinese have come here to get inspiration on lottery numbers from the spirits," he said, pointing to a ravine where refugees were said to have killed themselves. Another rumour told by another local of Batam says that there existed one large burial hole, in which corpses of suicide were just dumped. Their names and deaths may not even been recorded officially.
The cemetery at the refugee camp in Galang is a reminder of the struggle of Vietnamese refugees who fled their country after the fall of Saigon. Many of them died of starvation or accidents during their long and perilous sea trips on dilapidated and overcrowded boats.
Few tombs at the cemetery bear names of the deceased, but many are of small children. A memorial plaque in front of the graveyard says: "Dedicated to the People Who Died in the Sea on the Way to Freedom."
This memorial plague is one of the mass entombments for half a million to one million boat people who perished at sea. Religious leaders of various religions have returned to those islands to pray for the soul of the dead. You can see elaborate incense urns were placed in front of the memorial monument.
Click here for the full story of "Praying for Souls".
This memorial monument is the one of the largest number of deceased being commemorated. It comes possibly after those for the Jewish people victims of the Holocaust, and those for Armenians who were massacred in World War I.
There are however other kinds of makeshift graves less well-kept and recognizable than the Camp 3 cemetery. They are the mass graves that were dug for hundreds of bodies all from the same boat, their drifting wreckage was pulled to shore but everyone in it had long ago drawn their last breath. For hygienic reason, no one searched through the cadavers to at least identify them and get their name engraved on the tombstone.
These unnamed deceased, despite the makeshift burial on the islands, were lucky because they, at least, were allowed a resting place. Hundreds of thousands others lost their life in the South China Sea, they died in pain, in despair, in wretchedness, unknown, without a grave. In their dying moment, they still tried to look up the sky for God, for Buddha, they still tried to say their prayers, unfalteringly, to Quan-Yin, to the Virgin Mary. They died without a decent burial. The ocean was a gigantic mass grave for them.
Many monuments that commemorates Vietnamese boat people are erected on the island. There is one, nevertheless, controversial. In June 2005, a large stone plague erected by former Vietnamese refugees at their one-time camp on Galang was removed. The removal stirred up much emotional disturbance to the Vietnamese communities especially those who had a sentimental attachment to the life in Galang Camp.
The monument was dismantled at the request of the Vietnamese president on the grounds that it was offensive to Vietnam. The Vietnamese government took the view that the wording on the plaque denigrated the dignity of Vietnam.
Meanwhile, the 3 x 1 meter tall concrete frame in which of the stone plaque was embedded is still standing. The marble tiles at the base have been removed, however.
The wording read as follows:
The reverse side of the plaque read:
SPI has located the stone monument at the Galang Camp as shown in the photos. The centre piece that once carried the controversial inscribed wording was chiseled off.
Click here for the full story of "Vietnam boat people's plaque torn down".
The refugees who survived, all have relatives, or someone that they know, vanished in the South sea. Many boats capsized, many other drifted aimlessly until food and water ran out. How many died of hunger, of thirst, or found themselves lost somewhere in the myriad of archipelagos in the vast ocean? How many were slaughtered by pirates?
Many of the boat people who survived believe they were reborn after such a trip. That's why this place is a second birth place because it gave birth to their second life, life with freedom and dignity. But that is only of a minority. Sadly, many people who could not make it perished at sea and at this very Galang Camp.
Galang Camp will be forever engraved in the history of mankind as a powerful testament to the force of humanity, where the innocent victims of a most cruel tyranny finally were offered solace in the caring hands of the world community.
Like all of us, these boat people were once our companions in the common human quest for freedom, for human decency. Unlike all of us, they were unlucky. We cannot forget them, we cannot forsake them for the second time to oblivion, we cannot let them become just a number, a statistic in the pages of history. For these deceased boat people did exist.

Currently SPI is organizing educational tours from Singapore to Galang Camp. The objective to teach the young Singaporeans about life is not always of luxury. There are many heart-touching lessons to learn, many provisions in modern world now we shall not take for granted.

Money is like muck - not good unless spread. (Francis Bacon, Essays XV, 1625) 論謀叛與變亂 Of Seditions and Troubles
Above all things, good policy is to be used that the treasure and moneys in a state be not gathered into few hands. For otherwise a state may have a great stock, and yet starve. And money is like muck, not good except it be spread. This is done chiefly by suppressing or at least keeping a strait hand upon the devouring trades of usury, ingrossing 9 great pasturages, and the like.

Chapter XXXI
I NTRODUCTION - The fable of the Sirens is, in a vulgar sense, justly enough explained of the pernicious incentives to pleasure ; but the ancient mythology seems to us like a vintage ill-pressed and trod; for though something has been own from it, yet all the more excellent parts remain behind in the grapes that are untouched.
F ABLE - The Sirens are said to be the daughters of Achelous and Terpsichore, one of the Muses. In their early days they had wings, but lost them upon being conquered by the Muses, with whom they rashly contended; and with the feathers of these wings the Muses made themselves crowns, so that from this time the Muses wore wings on their heads, excepting only the mother to the Sirens.
These Sirens resided in certain pleasant islands, and when, from their watch-tower, they saw any ship approaching, they first detained the sailors by their music, then, enticing then to shore, destroyed them.
Their singing was not of one and the same kind, but they adapted their tunes exactly to the nature of each person, in order to captivate and secure him. And so destructive had they been, that these islands of the Sirens appeared, to a very great distance, white with the bones of their unburied captives.
Two different remedies were invented to protect persons against them, the one by Ulysses, the other by Orpheus. Ulysses commanded his associates to stop their ears close with wax; and he, determining to make the trial, and yet avoid the danger, ordered himself to be tied fast to a mast of the ship, giving strict charge not to be unbound, even though himself should entreat it; but Orpheus, without any binding at all, escaped the danger by loudly chanting to his harp the praises of the gods, whereby he drowned the voices of the Sirens.
E XPLANATION . - This fable is of the moral kind, and appears no less elegant than easy to interpret. For pleasures proceed from plenty and affluence, attended with activity or exultation of the mind. [4] Anciently their first incentives were quick, and seized upon men as if they had been winged, but learning and philosophy afterwards prevailing, had at least the power to lay the mind under some restraint, and make it consider the issue of things, and thus deprived pleasures of their wings.
This conquest redounded greatly to the honour and ornament of the Muses; for after it appeared, by the example of a few, that philosophy could introduce a contempt of pleasures, it immediately seemed to be a sublime thing that could raise and elevate the soul, fixed in a manner down to the earth, and thus render men's thoughts, which reside in the head, winged as it were, or sublime.
Only the mother of the Sirens was not thus plumed on the head, which doubtless denotes superficial learning invented and used for delight end levity; an eminent example whereof we have in Petronius, who, after receiving sentence of death, still continued his gay frothy humour , and, as Tacitus observes, used his learning to solace or divert himself; and instead of such discourses as give firmness and constancy of mind, read nothing but loose poems and verses. [5] Such learning as this seems, to pluck the crowns again from the Muses' heads, and restore them to the Sirens.
The Sirens are said to inhabit certain islands, because pleasures generally seek retirement, and often shun society. And for their songs, with the manifold artifice and destructiveness thereof, this is too obvious and common to need explanation. But that particular of the bones stretching like white cliffs along the shores, and appearing afar off, contains a more subtile allegory, and denotes that the examples of others' calamity and misfortunes, though ever so manifest and apparent, a have yet but little force to deter the corrupt nature of man from pleasures.
The allegory of the remedies against the Sirens is not difficult, but very wise and noble: it proposes, in effect, three remedies, as well against subtile as violent mischiefs, two drawn from philosophy and one from religion.
The first means of escaping is to resist the earliest temptation in the beginning, and diligently avoid and cut off all occasions that may solicit or sway the mind; and this is well represented by shutting up the ears, a kind of remedy to be necessarily used with mean and vulgar minds, such as the retinue of Ulysses.
But nobler spirits may converse, even in the midst of pleasures, if the mind be well guarded with constancy and resolution. And thus some delight to make a severe trial of their own virtue, and thoroughly acquaint themselves with the folly and madness of pleasures, without complying or being wholly given up to them; which is what Solomon professes of himself when he closes the account of all the numerous pleasures he gave a loose to, with this expression, "But wisdom still continued with me." Such heroes in virtue may, therefore, remain unmoved by the greatest incentives to pleasure, and stop themselves on the very precipice of danger; if, according to the example of Ulysses, they turn a deaf ear to pernicious counsel, and the flatteries of their friends and companions, which have the greatest power to shake and unsettle the mind.
But the most excellent remedy, in every temptation, is that of Orpheus, who, by loudly chanting and resounding the praises of the gods, confounded the voices, and kept himself from hearing the music of the Sirens; for divine contemplations exceed the pleasures of sense, not only in power but also in sweetness.

Hi, I use Eqatec for SpreadsheetConverter - an Excel Add-in - and it works fine. It solves one big problem: what issues does my users have, and which functions do they use. However, this is once the installation is successful. However, I do not know anything about the following steps: * 1. Did the users successfully download the installer to his computer? (Or was he prevented by a firewall, warning ...) * 2. Where the user able to start the installer (maybe the necessary windows installer version wasn't there) * 3. Did the user have the necessary prerequisites, for example, was .NET 4.0 installed? * 4. Was the user able to finish the installation process? * 5. Where the user able to start the program? Maybe Excel blocked the addin right-away. * 6. Once the addin is running, did we get exceptions, etc.... As you see, my current usage of Eqatec only solved step 6. -- One possible implementation proposal: What I need * 1. I need to be able to set the installation ID * 2. I need to be able to send activities for that installation ID using http-get (http-post ok, but messier) How I would do it. * I would create a wrapper around my .msi file using a very minimalistic installation program, for example nsis. * I would personalize the download file, for example by renaming it to include the installationid I decide (random number, guid, counter) * When the user click on the download link, I would call Eqatec with https://log.eqatec.com/register.aspx?key=00AEE87037464A588739E6E8E16A1A18&installationid=546354&event=download * When the user click on the executable, probably called ssc6_546354.exe, the first the installer would do is to call https://log.eqatec.com/register.aspx?key=00AEE87037464A588739E6E8E16A1A18&installationid=546354&event=install_started&excel=2010&dotnet=4.0 * The installer would then use your C++ library to get more information about the system like windows version, .net version etc.... for installationid=546354 * The installer would install the .msi file and if successful call https://log.eqatec.com/register.aspx?key=00AEE87037464A588739E6E8E16A1A18&installationid=546354&event=install_succeeded or if it fails, call https://log.eqatec.com/register.aspx?key=00AEE87037464A588739E6E8E16A1A18&installationid=546354&event=install_failed * At the end of the installer, the program would be automatically started (in my case Excel), I would tell eqatec that my installationid is 546354, and I would force a eqatec monitor call immediately. In Eqatec, I would then need a way to see where the users drop off. If 100% makes it through all steps, everything is fine, however, I know that it not true. I think the same idea is valid for all platforms, for example, an android developer needs to know how many of the downloads ever started the program. Comments? What can I already do? Regards, Mattias

Hi Mattias Thanks for your very elaborate question and suggestions. I'll take what you've sent us and we'll have an internal discussion on what we can do to help you. We have no immediate plans for supporting such "loose" http trackings, as there are some internal issues with maintaining this state, but with your scenario we have something a bit more real world to relate to. I'll be updating this post with the results of our discussions. Best regards S?ren EQATEC Team

Hi Mattias Sorry for not getting back to you sooner on this issue. I've raised your issue and your suggestion internally on a couple of our meetings as promised. While it is generally recognized that our solution does not cover your specific situation it hasn't gained enough tracking for prioritization at the moment. So for the time being we are not able to provide you with workarounds or even a time schedule for implementing things that will help you. Sorry... Hope you are otherwise enjoying our service. If you have further questions or suggestions we'd love to hear them Best regards S?ren EQATEC Team

text: Written and directed by Jarrett Lee Conaway and produced by Graciela Muriada-del Toro, Foolishly Seeking True Love is a little more than three minutes of charm, cleverness, and beauty. This pair's vision of a love story unfolding in a small window of time is impeccably executed, stemming from how hard it can be to date in L.A. (It isn't much easier here in Big D, unfortunately.) According to the writer, "That whole notion of true love and love at first sight, it just seems in the city people act like that's a naive thing, like it can't happen. But I kind of wanted to have something that was kind of like this magical realism, kind of a piece about love in modern cities." (more…)

Louis's POV
"I'm telling you this as a friend. You're a soppy idiot."
I played with my beer bottle, noticing the liquid that sloshed around inside had begun to dwindle. The hope that Niall would have retrieved another one for me was scarce. He was in full on charm mode as he tried and failed to chat up the girls perched on the wall to our right.
"Why?" Harry laughed.
"Have you seen yourself lately? You've changed."
"I don't see that as a bad thing though," he replied, "I quite like it."
He'd softened up and it was because of her. Little doe-eyed Bo.
"You're turning a bit wet, mate. No-one is going to take you seriously if you carry on."
"I'm not a push over," he almost snarled in defence.
I cracked a smile as a solid fist thumped my shoulder. My hand clutched the bottle, determined to save the little remaining alcohol. The old Harry was still there, perhaps buried beneath a few squishy, pink hearts and god-awful flowers. But I don't think he could ever really put that behind him, not with that much raw emotion. I knew what was going on in that house when we were younger. You couldn't just bury all those memories, no matter how big the hole or the shovel.
"I haven't miraculously lost the ability to smash your face in," Harry continued to bite back.
I'd forgotten how easy it was to wind him up. He was a laid-back guy to get along with, but god forbid you insult his aptitude to throw a punch and you'd be laid out on the floor in a second. It took a lot longer for them to get up. I'd seen it happen.
"I don't doubt that," I lightly laughed.
He refused the beer I offered to get him. And when I made my way back, all be it slightly distracted and swaying, I could tell he was looking at her. I hung back a little, observing the unreserved attention given to the female that carefully tottered around the edge of the pool. She laughed as Hayley called up to her from the water, occasional splashes being exchanged in teasing play.
It surprised me when Bo's small stumble had Harry flinch in his seat, almost as if he was ready to jump up at a seconds notice. Bo regained her balance (or lack of it), falling back into her tip-toeing pattern. Bo must have sensed his concern upon her, because hair was flicked out with her intended movement. A small smile confirmed she was fine.
"What was that?"
"What?" Harry glanced up, following me as I took my seat beside him once more.
I nodded in the direction of Bo.
"Oh, Bo's not a very strong swimmer. I don't..I just don't want her falling in." He glanced to her once more. "We're going to swim together later."
My thought processes were interrupted.
"Oi, Haz!" A guy shouted down from the house. "Nailler!"
The jeering prompted Niall in the diversion of his entertaining conversation with his newly found lady friends. He tipped two fingers from his forehead in a confirmed salute before bidding farewell and joining Harry in the journey up to the house.
I'd been told to keep an eye on Bo. So when she wandered back over to the seating I was going to take the opportunity to question her on her plans for the future, where she saw herself in five years time and her intentions concerning young Harry. Politely, of course.
"So, you and Harry?" I began.
She had chosen the seat opposite mine and to the left, picking up the drink she'd left on the small garden table in the middle.
"What about us?" She smiled, before the glass was raised to her lips.
"Do you want his babies?"
I silently applauded for myself on the timing, midway between taking a slip and swallowing. What liquid she hadn't choked down was sprayed out in a cough. Points went to her for projection.
"I-umm, it's a bit early to be thinking about that. We haven't been dating all that long."
I shrugged off her answer. She seemed…sensible. Did Harry want sensible? I had always imagined him shacking up with some tattooed, pierced, not-afraid-to-throw-a-punch kind of girl. Bo was tame. Unless she had some sort of naughty ink creation hidden somewhere only Harry had explored. I was going off topic.
She shifted in her seat looking mighty uncomfortable. Time to move on.
"But would you want to get married?"
"I hadn't thought about it. I'd like to see him in a suit though."
Her posture transformed, leaning forward slightly as if gearing up for my next question.
"So, what do you do?"
I stretched my legs out, crossing my ankles whilst taking another swig of beer. It crossed my mind that I should probably steady my pace with the alcohol, but the thought soon shimmered away as the bubbles fizzed and my head began to swim.
"I work at a music place in town; we sell all the old vinyl records along with the new stuff."
Not quite as stuffy as I previously thought, maybe there's hope for her yet.
"With that Dan bloke?"
I scrunched my nose up in disgust. Harry had been less than reserved about his feelings toward the guy. I hadn't even met him and he sounded like an arse.
"Dan's a friend," Bo sternly replied.
I'd hit a nerve. I thought about pressing the subject further, but by the way her face hardened I didn't particularly want to discover the boundaries of the topic.
"Are you at uni?"
It confused me when her eyes and demeanour softened, Bo's tone lowering along with the mood apparently. Another touchy subject maybe?
"Has Harry talked to you?"
A few more people had floated away, and over to where some stupid guy had been dared to down another shot. I'd taken swimming lessons when I was younger, did the whole pyjamas in the pool thing, but I doubt I'd be able to fish him out in my current state. We'd both be bobbing around together.
Bo's eyebrows rose in prompt and it took me a few seconds to cotton on the conversation once more.
"About what?"
I think I was starting to slur.
"Oh, I guess not. I can tell he's not that keen on me going, but I'd love to take a writing course."
Hmm, trouble in paradise. At least she had plans to get away from this area. Not much prospect for someone with bigger dreams. That's what Harry and I had done, escaped from the looming ghosts of our old neighbourhood. Nothing much there for either of us, not now anyway.
"What do you do, Louis?"
I cleared my throat, not really prepared for her to reciprocate my attempt at probing questions. This was my interrogation, she couldn't just flip the situation. But as the self-inflicted intoxication progressed, there was little I could do to keep my mouth shut.
"I work for the police," I blurted.
"The police?"
Why did that answer always carry that sort of reaction? I wasn't going to drag her away in handcuffs.
"Don't look so nervous. I'm not an officer, I work with all the data, more of a techy guy."
"Oh, so you like computers? I'm not very good with them."
Bo smiled, tucking her legs up underneath her, the semi-tanned limbs resembling something of a pretzel. I was kind of hungry.
"It comes in handy with all my mates."
I couldn't have blamed her for her next question, I'd have asked too. It was almost instinctive.
"Why's that?"
My head was rattled with the shouted instruction to shrug it off, play it cool. But apparently my mouth was in no mood to have secrets kept.
"You can play around with stuff, wipe things off, add things in, search for people."
Oh shit.
My hand dramatically swiped up to clamp over my big mouth. Bo giggled, amused by the unintentional gesture to forcibly prevent another slip. I was an idiot.
"I wasn't supposed to tell you that," I desperately informed her.
The bottle slid through my slack fingers, clanking to the paved ground and rolling under the seat my bum was parked in.
"I won't tell anyone," She frowned.
"I could lose my job."
In my panicked fluster I hadn't realised our change in position; no longer separated by the small table between us. Bo sat to the right of me, my hand clasped in hers.
"It's alright, Louis. I'm not going to tell anyone else."
Her voice was soothing, and the glittering in the blue depths of her eyes reminded me of a promise between two young children. The kind you would seal with a pinky shake. She wasn't going to tell anyone. Maybe that's why Harry liked her. He trusted her. And with all the fucked up things he'd experienced, all the lies and secrets he'd kept close to his chest, Harry needed someone to confide in. It was Bo.
"You're alright, Bo," I jested in appreciation.
"Well gee, thanks," she mocked, releasing my hand.
I eased back further into the cushion, relieved that the admittance of foul play wouldn't stray any farther than our two-seater. I fought against the persistent need for words to fill the gaps between conversation. A fight I was drastically losing. Perhaps a couple more confessions couldn't hurt.
Bo's POV
I picked at a thread that had unwoven from the cushion beneath me, careful not to tug it any looser. The sharp turn Louis's head caused mine to meet his line of glassy vision.
"I've taken things off the system for your boy."
"Harry? What kind of things?"
I'd known for some time that Harry's actions were far from his angelic appearance. Despite his dimpled smile and soft kisses, there was much more to the gloved boxer.
"Now, that would be telling," Louis teased, "one did involve a car though, wasn't much left to investigate once Harry finished. It was around that flower park."
His features emitted a humoured testing vibe, curious as to how I would react. There hadn't been much vehicle related crime recently, a few stolen cars, but nothing major.
"What happened?"
"Harry held a grudge," he replied, "…and a lighter."
"Wait, was that…was that the car in Rose Park? They said someone put a baseball bat to it and then set it alight," I recalled a little bewildered. "Was that, Harry?"
"Shhh." Louis grinned, holding his index to his lips like a child.
I'd seen that car. My friends and I had been walking to school through the park when a rather tall police officer had ushered us to a diverted path. He hadn't told us why the route was restricted or what was causing the inconvenience, but inquisitiveness is ripe in kids that age. We'd been stealth in our movements, patiently waiting until the officer had moved on to make a dash through the trees that ran alongside the road. We'd discovered a burnt out car, no windows, the bonnet and roof spectacularly caved in. It was a right mess. In the newspaper a couple of days later the police had begrudgingly admitted that they had no leads on any suspects to the crime, nothing to trace the culprit.
Vandal could be added to Harry's list of offences.
Images of a younger Harry fought for my attention; face blotched with smeared black marks, chest heaving as his eyes danced with the flames from the smouldering shell of a car. In my mind, his body weight rested on the bat he'd aided to convex the roof and bonnet. Such a troubled angel of a boy.
I had no time to question Louis on the matter because my name was being shouted at a distressed pitch.

The mission of the Cellular Therapy & Immunobiology Working Party is to understand and exploit the biological including immunological events occurring upon haematopoietic stem cell transplantation at large, and to implement modern cellular therapies based on cell and gene engineering approaches to improve transplantation outcomes.
Cellular Therapy is an emerging medical science that is today facing a unique developmental phase, well documented by the outstanding and growing numbers of clinical trials. Such an exponential growth requires proper infrastructures, cell repositories, clinical registries, technical and regulatory guidelines for appropriate cell manipulation and validation of the innovative therapeutic approaches in multicentric clinical trials.
The CTIWP aims at fostering cellular therapy in Europe, through a continuous crosstalk between basic science findings, transplant immunobiology observations and implementation of cellular manufacturing approaches designed to answer unmet medical needs.
To this aim we will actively implement:
These aims will be pursued through the activity of WP subcommittees and through an active collaboration with International and European Societies of Transplantation, Cell/Gene Therapy and with major investors in the field.

Hello, I just joined Amazon. I see they have very many products. Is it a good idea to use direct product links or to use search links, please? For example, I put a lot of links like this: See over 4,000 silk ties, click here. On my website, before Amazon, I only had about 6 silk ties to show. Is it better to choose individual silk tie product links? The search links are very attractive to visitors, I think, but do they offer TOO MANY choices? What do you think is the best? A combination, or just the product links? THANKS for any comments. :
March 11th, 2005, 11:49 PM #2
I do both - product links and a "see more link."
Pick a few good ones to show and then also give a link for them to see more.
Good Luck!Ebudae

OK, I will do as you suggest. I was doing both but not together on the same page which seems to be what you suggest. So now I will put a few product links to tempt them and then the link to see more. Thank you . I know you are very successful and I deeply appreciate your kind assistance. I had a sort of good Christmas with the site, but the last 10 days brought only ninety CENTS. Maybe Mothers Day will be better. I am working on Christmas and will follow your kind help. Thank you so very very much.

Well, I forgot to mention, my site is a little less than one year old. My goal is to have 8,000 pages. I will begin following your suggestion. Thanks again.

Feel like your squad could improve in all areas of the game? Looking for a series of drills that can boost your hitting, fielding, and decision-making abilities?
More: Can Defense Go in a Slump?
Baseball Events Near You
Here is a unique multi-phase drill you can add to your practice schedule and can help sharpen your team all season long.
First Round
1. Begin round with runner on first base.
2. Have defensive players at each position.
3. Runner on first base will take his best lead.
4. Pitcher will stretch and play on runner at first base one time, then he will throw to the first hitter.
5. The first hitter will bunt one, (the runner on first base will advance to second base on the bunt and then will go to defensive position or end of hitting line). On hit two, the batter will run the second hit out and stay there. (The pitcher will play on the runner one time and throw to the second hitter in round one.) This procedure should be followed through all of the hitters.
