Rollex casino review
When it comes to the online betting products that are in Malaysia, Rollex11 is one casino that has been able to fully establish itself. This is especially so when it comes to the illegal gambling dens that are in Malaysia. Having very similar characteristics to another well-known casino known as 12win casino, Rollex casino has on its own been able to build a lot on its brand especially locally. This has mostly been seen when it comes to its live casino games that many people in Malaysia love to play. Many casino fanatics are more into the bet Roulette which is available in the Rollex tips. This is mainly because this bet is able to offer players with a betting platform that is more detailed compared to any other platforms that they may have been introduced to. Going deeper into the bet Roulette, it is also one of the very best alternatives to many Playtech fanatics. This was mostly seen during the time that 12Win was undergoing a little bit of system maintenance and players couldn't get access to it.
Since Rollex hack has been known to have a very positive and long track record, you shouldn't worry yourself when it comes to just how stable their system is. This also proves to you that the credibility of Rollex compared to the very new casino products that are coming into the market is in check. Not only is it available on your desktop, but you can also be able to access it via your mobile phone. This is very convenient for anyone who is not able to get a hold of a desktop. They can still be able to bet 24 hours a day regardless of their location.
However, one of the biggest disadvantages that Rollex casino has is that it is not able to support the IOS smartphones that are in the market. This is a really big disappointment for many iPhone users considering that the number of people who are making use of iPhones in Malaysia keeps on increasing. However, even though this is the case, these players can still be able to bet at home by making use of their own personal computers which has a higher level of enjoyment due to their big screens.
There are usually mega progressive jackpots that are usually offered to different players as a reward meaning that a lucky player can be able to walk away with up to a million in ringgits by simply betting a small amount as an RMI. Rollex casino is highly recommended casino which is why it would be a good option for you.
The pros of Rollex casino
- There are a number of pros when it comes to Rollex casino. They include:
- It is very easy to download on android smartphones as well as on the PC.
- It has a high mega progressive jackpot ensuring that the rewards are high.
- It has one of the very best Playtech slot games
The cons
- The only con that Rollex casino has as mentioned earlier is that it does not support IOS smartphones.

When activating an interface with IPv6 service, both SLAAC and DHCPv6, the activation is somewhat "wobbly" - addresses and nameservers gets added, removed, then re-added. It ends up in a stable state eventually, but it seems to be done in a rather akward way. The router is set up with the following:
[root@lust ~]# cat /etc/radvd.conf
interface eth0 {
AdvSendAdvert on;
AdvOtherConfigFlag on;
AdvManagedFlag on;
MaxRtrAdvInterval 30;
prefix 2001:16d8:ee47::/64 {
AdvAutonomous on;
RDNSS 2001:16d8:ee47::5:1aac {};
[root@lust ~]# cat /etc/dhcp/dhcpd6.conf
default-lease-time 2592000;
preferred-lifetime 604800;
option dhcp-renewal-time 3600;
option dhcp-rebinding-time 7200;
allow leasequery;
option dhcp6.name-servers 2001:16d8:ee47::d4cb;
option dhcp6.domain-search "fud.no";
option dhcp6.info-refresh-time 21600;
subnet6 2001:16d8:ee47::/64 {
range6 2001:16d8:ee47::aaaa 2001:16d8:ee47::bbbb;
On the host, I did tcpdump, looking for RS/RA, and also did "ip -6 a l dev eth0" and "cat /etc/resolv.conf" every second, saving the result. This was how the activation happened in chronological order - also see attached /var/log/messages:
Initial state:
- Networking disabled using nm-applet menu, IPv4 and IPv6 state "automatic"
- No IPv6 addresses on eth0
- No nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf
- Networking enabled using nm-applet menu.
- fe80::230:1bff:febc:7f23/64 is added to eth0
- ICMPv6 Router Solicitation & Advertisement
- 2001:16d8:ee47:0:230:1bff:febc:7f23/64 is added to eth0
- 2001:16d8:ee47:0:230:1bff:febc:7f23/64 is removed from eth0
- IPv4 nameserver (10.0.0.2) is added to resolv.conf
- 2001:16d8:ee47::bbba/64 is added to eth0
- 2001:16d8:ee47::5:1aac and 2001:16d8:ee47::d4cb are added to resolv.conf
- ICMPv6 Router Advertisement
- 2001:16d8:ee47:0:230:1bff:febc:7f23/64 is added to eth0
- 2001:16d8:ee47::5:1aac and 2001:16d8:ee47::d4cb are removed from resolv.conf
- 2001:16d8:ee47::5:1aac and 2001:16d8:ee47::d4cb are added to resolv.conf
What I don't think is right here is the removal of the SLAAC address at 21:10:02 and the IPv6 name servers at 21:10:19.
This is not a very important bug, as everything ends up OK in the end (both IPv6 name servers are found in /etc/resolv.conf, and both IPv6 addresses are configured on eth0), but still it seems like it's not working quite the way it should. It seems that the SLAAC address aren't re-added until a periodic RA arrives, which might be many minutes in between on a normal network, which would cause the network activation to take much longer than necessary to complete 100%.
Yeah we shouldn't be bouncing addresses if they are valid. At the moment (like you say) I don't consider this an F-13 blocker so it'll probably get pushed out in a post-freeze update. Thanks for the great debugging info.

Ok, this is annoying. My radvd.conf currently sets the unsolicited RA time to be every 10 minutes (the default), so if I enable dhcpv6 (but don't hand out addresses that way), I don't get a non-link-local IPv6 address for about 10 minutes. Sure, I can turn up the RA rate, but only because I manage this network. What about on a network I don't control?
By the way, Bug 676957 sounds related.
NM should be bouncing the link and that causes the kernel to send out a router solicitation request, which the router should reply to. Any chance you can wireshark the ethernet interface and check whether this is actually happening? There's also tweaks in the radvd config to control how often the router solicitation requests are answered, and of course if the solicitations are only answered every 2 minutes and the unsolicited messages are sent every 10, is clearly not going to work well. That may not be the problem, but it's an option. But the wireshark traces would help us figure out if NM is not doing what's required to ensure that the solicitation requests go out.
I tried to reproduce this bug now, and it appears to work much better. The SLAAC-learned IPv6 address doesn't get removed like it did when I originally submitted the bug.
However I did notice that the IPv6 nameservers disappear from /etc/resolv.conf for a second (at 12:18:08 in the debug info I'll send in a second).

This shows how the output from "ip a l dev eth0" and "cat /etc/resolv.conf" changed second by second, going from an initial state (from before NM was started), until it stabilised in the end.
Especially note the change between 12:18:07 and 12:18:08 - at this point, both IPv6 name servers was removed from /etc/resolv.conf, which has to be a bug.

I think I see what the problem is, and it's going to take a bit to fix up; might not make 0.9/F15 final but it'll certainly get fixed. The code internally does a remove-then-add, and resolv.conf gets written out both when addresses are removed and when they are added back, so there's a brief window of time where we could have no IPv6 addresses in resolv.conf.

/var/log/messages from device activation that bounces the device
I've noticed another case of "wobblyness" when activating a device. The activation appears to finish, but then the device is brought down again and re-activated again. I'm attaching a log of the device being bumped once before it settles, but I have seen it happening twice in a row too.
The bumping happens at 18:59:07. It does log "RA-provided address no longer valid" then, but I cannot see how that can be right. The lowest lifetime found in the RA is 180 seconds, but the bumping happens only nine seconds after the device was enabled in the first place. tcpdump of the RAs on the network in question:
IP6 (hlim 255, next-header ICMPv6 (58) payload length: 80) fe80::208:a1ff:fec9:2381 > ff02::1: [icmp6 sum ok] ICMP6, router advertisement, length 80
hop limit 64, Flags [managed, other stateful], pref medium, router lifetime 540s, reachable time 0ms, retrans time 0ms
prefix info option (3), length 32 (4): 2001:16d8:ee47::/64, Flags [onlink, auto], valid time 86400s, pref. time 14400s
rdnss option (25), length 24 (3): lifetime 180s, addr: 2001:16d8:ee47::5:1aac
source link-address option (1), length 8 (1): 00:08:a1:c9:23:81
I currently have my network configured like so: RA with 2 prefixes (1 ULA, 1 public) and O & M flag set, as well as RDNSS. The advertisement interval is 600 seconds. DHCPv6 hands out a single ULA address & DNS info.
Recently, it seems like about 50% of the time, I get all of my addresses (2 ULA, 1 public), and 50% of the time, I get just the 1 DHCPv6-assigned ULA until my router gets around to announcing prefixes again. (Statistics are gut-feel.)
Looking through my package updates, I can't see anything that pops out as an explanation for the change in behavior.
I'm running with F14, NetworkManager-0.8.4-1.fc14.x86_64. This is a laptop with wireless.
If you're running RA, and the O & M flags are set, nothing on your network should care about the RA because you've told it to get everything from DHCP via the M flag. Is that what you intend?
No, it's entirely possible to get addresses from both DHCPv6 and RA SLAAC. All the M flag says is that the host should use stateful DHCPv6 to request addresses. Hosts are also supposed to do SLAAC for each RA prefix that has the autonomous flag set.
That does work, but something NetworkManager is doing is (sometimes, especially from a fresh start) causing the SLAAC addresses to get dropped when the DHCPv6 provided address is added. The interface picks up the advertised addresses again at the next router advertisement, but there's no reason for NetworkManager to drop the addresses acquired after router solicitation on the floor.

I've created a separate bug (bug #720188) for this issue.
I've not seen the original issue (as described in comment #0) for quite some time now, so I think that it might have been fixed.
Yeah, it should be in any 0.9.3+ snapshot for F17.

A recent study suggests that listeria could be even more dangerous for pregnant women than we previously thought. Here's how to minimize your risk.
You've probably heard that listeria poses a threat to pregnant women. As we've previously reported, the bacterium (which can cause fever, diarrhea and even death) may be more likely to affect pregnant women. But according to new research, we might be underestimating the risk of listeria exposure.
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison studied the food-borne bacterium and its effect on fetal development. According to their findings, published in mBio, listeria may cause even more miscarriages than we previously believed.
"For many years, listeria has been associated with adverse outcomes in pregnancy, but particularly at the end of pregnancy," study author Ted Golos said in a release for this study. "What wasn't known with much clarity before this study is that it appears it's a severe risk factor in early pregnancy."
Researchers suggested that listeria may be a silent danger. Since the virus doesn't always cause severe symptoms for the people it infects, moms might be unknowingly exposed to the bacteria before miscarrying, which could explain skewed data surrounding listeria's effects during early pregnancy.
Listeria often appears in things like unpasteurized milk, soft cheese, raw sprouts, melon and deli meats, which is why those are usually on the no-no list for pregnant women. Obviously, exercising caution where these foods are concerned is a great idea. But how worried should you really be about listeria's threat to your pregnancy?
We spoke with Michael Cackovic, MD, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at the Ohio State University Wexner Center, to gain more insight.
How to Eat Healthy During Pregnancy: How To Avoid Listeria
Dr. Cackovic's advice for pregnant women who are worried about this news? "I just think that basic precautions [are necessary]. You should wash your lettuce, you should avoid anything that's inadequately cooked," he said. "The most common symptom [of listeria] is fever. Any time you have a fever you should let your doctor know. Any time you're sick you really should let your doctor know."

Although Samhain has now officially passed (although it does remain as the Irish Gaelic name for the month of November), I still receive questions about Samhain, when it should be celebrated, what it means from an energetic/intuitive perspective, and how to celebrate it.
I received a great query through my website last week that I wanted to share here, along with my thoughts. And I would love to hear your perspective on this, in the Comments area!
The Question
The article of 'The Cailleach', you state, 'and the time of year when the veils between the worlds are said to be the thinnest.'
I was wondering exactly when this will be. On October 31 or November 7? Thank you.
My response
The expression "thinning of the veils" is often used at Samhain but few clarify what it means for them.
My thoughts? I believe there are many planes of existence in our Universe (physicists offer string theory to explain the various dimensions of the multiverse), separated by their unique vibration and frequency, yet co-existing in the same "place". I believe that when those frequencies are similar, we connect with that world… if we wish to.
As mediums or six-sensory intuitives, we sometimes describe our connection with other planes and worlds as tuning in, which is a very apt description. We tune in to frequencies, just as we would a radio. If we connect to a strong signal, we hear words and music. If we can't find a frequency, we hear static and noise… and just the hint of organized sound.
Natural frequencies do shift and change, just as we can raise or lower our own frequencies. At certain times of the year — the move towards the stillness of Winter, for instance, as the Earth shifts on its magnetic axis — and in certain locations (magnetic vortices, ley lines, etc), those frequencies have shifted ever so slightly to allow us here in the physical plane to more easily access the other worlds. At these times and in these places, the vibrations of our world connect with the vastness of Flow and the Spirit world. The veil lifts… becomes more porous.
And there is another factor to connection: intention. Many cultures around the world celebrate the harvest and the coming of winter at this time of year, honouring their ancestors, giving gratitude, and lighting bonfires and candles to honour the importance of light (Father Sun) in our lives. There is a massive global focused intention and awareness. I believe the energy of that global intention also effects the vibrations, lifting the veil even more.
But to answer the question directly…!
I tend to celebrate Samhain on the "true" date, which this year was earlier this week, on November 7th. And quite frequently I celebrate both, as I did this year. On both days, I celebrated and honoured my ancestors, and communicated with them.
But I also don't believe that the thinning of the veils is a digital, all-or-nothing event, restricted to just that specific Samhain date — whether we celebrate on the traditional date or the true date.
Nor do I believe we are bound to honour these special days on the calendar date(s). We have busy lives. We juggle work, family, school, commitments… and our energy.
If the date/time doesn't work for you, celebrate when you can.
Believe me, Spirit won't mind at all!
Just like we have, for instance, the Full Moon energy for roughly three days, we experience the thinning of the veils over a period of time.
As the energies of the Earth start to quieten and draw in after the Autumn Equinox, we start to approach and embrace the Dark (hidden, not bad!) energies of Winter, the energy and wisdom of An Cailleach, and the gradual thinning of the veil between the worlds, peaking around Samhain aka "Summers End".
The yin, deep, receiving intuitive energies of An Cailleach are increasing in us too… just as they are with our world. So not only is the veil thinner, but our intuition is also stronger, increasing our ability to connect.
So, for me, the week(s) before and after Samhain are all very powerful times for connecting with Spirit.
What are your thoughts on this? Comment below.
Le grá,
("With love" in Irish Gaelic)

The Detective: Bachelors of the Prairie
99 cents for a limited time!
Big city detective Judd Norris and his partner arrive in Leadville amid a spate of unsolved murders, someone strangling the harlots in town. Although confident to close the case quickly, he overestimates his skills, annoyed by how slippery the killer is. To compound matters, the distracting beauty of a dance hall girl named Katy Bell turns his head, reminding him of things he'd given up on. Asking Katy to help seems like a sound plan, although it just might put her in harm's way.

hoped it would be in Brit hands."
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
A British thriller that's co-produced by Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. It's based on the play Deadlock by Leslie Sands and is gamely written by Val Guest. It was filmed in a London studio on a low-budget. American director Irving Rapper ("Marjorie Morningstar"/"Now, Voyager"/"The Corn is Green") had a hell of a time trying to control the outspoken Bette Davis and her attempts to change the script. Davis chose Rapper to direct because she could dominate him and they made good films together. Fading star Davis revived her career a bit with this film, even though it wasn't successful. The hysterical melodramatics made it a lesser quality film but nevertheless it seemed like a typical Bette Davis vehicle, where the lady goes venomous and over acts.
Feisty Janet
Frobisher (Bette
Davis), her
pen name, is
a successful mystery writer and the
owner of a horse named Fury--the only thing she really
loves. While at
the train station in Tarnmoor, England, in the
Yorkshire moors, Janet
calls her lover, Larry Stevens (Anthony
Steel), who is
engaged to her
sweet secretary, Chris Dale (Barbara
Murray). Janet's
neighbor, veterinarian Dr.
Henderson (Emlyn
drives her
home. In her living room mansion a stranger
suddenly appears and introduces himself as George
Bates (Gary
Merrill, Bette Davis' new husband at
the time-her fourth and last) and
lets on that he and Janet's
long-lost husband, Preston, gone for the last
three-months, recently
robbed a bank together. After
shooting a policeman and planting the gun on George,
Preston ran off
with all the money, and George is now looking for the
cad. After
questioned, Janet is forced to admit she poisoned her
abusive and blackmailing
escaped convict
hubby a few hours ago with
a horse compound. George observes the corpse in
the study and
demands bribe money to help her cover it up, and since
no one in town
ever met the elusive hubby--George poses as him,
seeing this also as an
opportunity to hide his identity. The morality play
concludes with a
contrived plot twist, that might be hard to swallow
without a
suspension of disbelief.
The claustrophobic
film, shot at one primary location, with the Davis
character a real
nasty bitch, was watchable in an amusing campy way but
was never as
efficiently produced as Davis had hoped it would be in
Brit hands.

The refining sector has been in the news a few times this week, and not in a good way:A Fine Mess For U.S. Refineries HOUSTON — Excess capacity, weak demand for fuels and rising product inventories continue to squeeze margins for U.S. oil refiners. Sunoco, the second-largest refiner in the country that doesn't produce its own oil, said late Tuesday that it will soon shutter its Eagle Point refinery in Westville, N.J., which has a capacity to handle 145,000 barrels of oil per day. During the second quarter, Philadelphia-based Sunoco lost $77 million in its refining business and told analysts Tuesday that the third quarter could be worse. A point that I have tried to stress is that for the… Continue»
Answering Questions – Part II
OK, I think this finishes off the questions. Thanks to all who asked a question. I think this has been a productive exercise, and I hope you find my answers useful. I may do this again at some point, but for now, I am back to posting and then lurking. The Questions Jeff Sutherland asked: It seems to me that electricity is going to be the key energy source in the future….Biofuels, like ethanol, if produced with electrical equipment seems like a good method to store energy….What do you see as the best option for a transportable form of energy in the future?

Answering Questions – Part I
Back in Aberdeen after some very interesting meetings in London, some of which I hope to be able to discuss in the not too distant future. I started working my way through the list of questions while I was in London and had some spare time. Some of the questions really warrant a stand-alone post. Instead of posting one very long blog, I am going to break this up into at least 2 parts. I have been working my way through the questions in the order they were posted. Click on each answer link below the question and it will take you to the answer in the essay. The Questions Tad asked: Where do you see the oil industry in… Continue»

Paul Taylor Dance Company / David H.

Glimpses #2: Susan Marshall
To the Reader: This is the second in a projected series of brief pieces that I'll be posting on SEEING THINGS along with my longer essays—and, of course, on Facebook. Susan Marshall—a thinking person's choreographer for sure—gave a weekend of performances in 92 Y's Stripped/Dressed series, curated by Doug Varone. She transformed the dour, dance-history laden Buttenwieser Hall into a do-it-yourself Spiegeltent, a mobile cabaret-dance hall, in which she first talked about the origins of her Sawdust Palace, created for such a setting, and … [Read more...]

Glimpses #1: Boris Eifman's "Rodin"
To the Reader: This is the first in a projected series of brief pieces that I'll be posting on SEEING THINGS along with my longer essays. Believe it or not, I thought Boris Eifman's Rodin (holding forth at the City Center) better than the earlier works we've been subject to here in New York. The Eifmanesque absurdities, portentousness, pretentiousness, and lowbrow concepts of "Life" remain; they are a given—a mirror of the man's soul, as E himself might put it. As for his dated sexual politics, they're a shame for the neighbors. Still, … [Read more...]

Asylum Access and The Refugee Work Rights Coalition Release Global Refugee Work Rights Report
Today, in commemoration of U.S. Labor Day, Asylum Access and the Refugee Work Rights Coalition release the publication, Global Refugee Work Rights Report 2014: Taking the Movement from Theory to Practice.
The report examines the laws, policies and practices for refugee work rights in 15 countries around the globe (affecting a total of 30% of the world's refugee population). Our findings reveal that almost half of the 15 countries examined in the report have a complete legal bar to refugee employment, and in the countries where some legal right to work exists, significant de-facto barriers to employment, like strict encampment, exorbitant permit fees or widespread discrimination, undermine refugees' ability to access lawful employment.
In simple terms, refugees' work rights are respected as the exception, not the rule.
The publication also calls upon stakeholders – governments, UN agencies, civil society, refugee and local communities – to take concrete steps to bring national employment laws and policies around the world into line with international human rights and refugee law standards. In doing so, the report (i) provides a breakdown of the right to work under international law, which may be used by advocates to inform policy makers of their legal commitments; (ii) an explanation of the economic arguments in favor of granting refugees' work rights, which may be used to supplement legal arguments; and (iii) concrete recommendations for achieving legal reform, and administrative and judicial support for work rights domestically.
A Victory for Urban Refugees: High Court Quashes Kenyan Encampment Directive
Justice prevailed on Friday as the High Court of Kenya quashed the Government's encampment directive, ruling in favor of fundamental freedoms and dignity for urban refugees.
The government directive was first announced in December 2012 and again in January 2013 and, if implemented, would have required all refugees residing in urban areas to relocate to Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps. In short, the policy would have devastated the lives of urban refugees in Kenya, forcing them to abandon the homes they had resided in for years (some even decades), separate from loved ones and sever all ties to businesses and communities.
The directive was challenged on the basis that it violated fundamental freedoms enshrined in Kenya's Constitution, the Refugee Act, 1996 and a number of other international human rights instruments. The High Court agreed.
The Plight of an Ethiopian Refugee Searching for Work in Nairobi
A 29 year-old Ethiopian refugee named Girma (name changed for anonymity) has been living in Nairobi, Kenya for over five years. Though he graduated from Kenyatta University in Nairobi with a Masters in Economics in 2010, Girma has been facing challenges in his job search. Many young people entering the job market will sympathize with the fact that employment is hard to find.
But Girma's story is different – he has been facing discrimination in hiring just because he is a refugee.
During our interview, Girma noted that many potential employers both within the private sector and the government are not interested in hiring refugee graduates. In fact, he was explicitly told in a recent interview that the organization simply didn't offer jobs to refugees. Girma added,
"even though Kenya's economy is a developing one . . . there should at least be a legitimate ground for refugees to assert their right to work."
Urban Refugees of Kenya Await their Fate: Updates on the High Court Case
For many refugees residing in the urban regions of Kenya, business cannot be run as usual. As the High Court case of Kituo Cha Sheria v. Attorney General remains underway, members from the urban refugee community in Nairobi reported to Asylum Access that they fear participating in society as usual while their right to work and move freely outside refugee camps hang in the balance.
As previously reported by Asylum Access, the Kenyan government issued a directive in late 2012 and again in early 2013 to force all urban refugees to relocate to the already overcrowded refugee camps of Dadaab and Kakuma. Reports from human rights organizations emerged soon after the directive's announcement, stating that as a result of the policies, refugees in Kenya's urban centers, particularly those in Somali enclaves, had been subjected to a wide range of abuses, including police harassment, violence, discrimination, bribery and arbitrary detention. Local NGO Kituo Cha Sheria challenged the policies before the High Court, and on 23 January, the Court issued provisional orders to halt the implementation of the policy.
High Court Halts Kenya's Attempt to Encamp Urban Refugees and Stifle Self-sufficiency
Asylum Access has been closely following a landmark case before the High Court of Kenya that will make a determination regarding the fundamental rights of all urban refugees in the country.
The case, which is scheduled to commence mid-March, will determine the validity of a policy recently issued by the Kenyan Government requiring all urban refugees to move from urban residences to overcrowded refugee camps. The policy is said to violate both Kenya's Constitution and International Law, interfering with a refugee's fundamental right to freedom of movement, work, education and family. In short, the directive, unless invalidated by the High Court, will stifle a refugee's chance to live a normal life and be self-sufficient.
Refugee Self-Employment – Soap Making in Tanzania
"We needed to seek asylum somewhere where there was peace. Tanzania was the closest country. But to live, we need something to live, somewhere to sleep. We didn't come with anything like money," says Lwenga, a Congolese refugee in Dar es Salaam. He tells this to me as he explains why he, other Congolese and Tanzanians are working together in a small soap-making business.
It's not an easy business. Lwenga and Esale—another refugee—must take several kilos of the boiled fruit of the oil palm tree and press them in what they call a "local machine" to extract the oil. This takes two men and several hours. "With this machine," says Lwenga, "it takes the whole day. You arrive, start extracting and then you can work until night."
Kenya's Forced Encampment of Refugees Violates Human Rights and Quashes Self-Reliance
Originally published on the Asylum Access website. See original here.
By: Jessica Therkelsen, Global Policy Director, Asylum Access
The Kenyan government's decision this week to force all refugees to leave urban centers and report to camps violates human rights and represents a backslide in the government's approach to urban refugees.
Host to nearly 700,000 refugees, Kenya has since 2006 implemented laws and policies that increasingly improve compliance with international human rights standards. Urban refugees have enjoyed legal status, access to employment, opportunity, and services outside of camps. Following recent attacks in Nairobi attributed to al-Shabaab, a Somali militant group, Kenya is now citing national security in its decision to send nearly 100,000 people to overcrowded and dangerous camps.
Under the new measure, these refugees will be forced to leave their rebuilt lives for internment in a camp with no access to freedom of movement and serious security risks.
Updates From the Field — Refugee Livelihoods in Ecuador
Anna Chen spent a year working for Asylum Access in Quito, Ecuador. In March 2012, she travelled with volunteer photographer Nitsan Tal to document the inspiring lives of our refugee clients.
By: Anna Chen.
In a home virtually empty of furniture, Maria* shows me the wood boards lying among sawdust, glue, paint and work tools. Donning a white face mask, she squats down and begins to saw at a board. These are the first steps of making what will become large wooden mirror frames, a craft she learned from the internet. Each takes several hours to complete, including embellishing the frames with ornate golden decorations. But this is the easy bit.
Maria tells me the most difficult part is getting people to buy them off the streets of Quito, where she peddles them for about USD10 apiece. With modest profit margins, Maria must sell dozens to feed her family of four every month.

Western Sahara refugees : When work rights don't lead to employment
Meriem NAÏLI received her Masters from the Amsterdam School of Law in Public International Law and the Grenoble Law Faculty in International Legal Careers. Having both French and Algerian citizenships, she focused her legal studies on Human Rights and Refugees Rights and wrote a paper on the rights of asylum seekers under complementary international law when they are denied refugee status.
By Meriem NAÏLI
When the subject of "stateless refugees" arises, people often think first about Palestinian refugees. However, at least one other large group of such refugees exists: the Sahrawi refugees. The Sahrawi people originate from Western Sahara – a "non self-governing territory" controlled by Morocco, a matter of much international dispute. Sahrawi refugees fled violence over territorial control, to settle primarily in Algeria, as well as in Morocco and Mauritania.
This article will discuss access to safe, lawful employment for the Sahrawi people explaining why Sahrawi refugees remain mostly unemployed and reliant on humanitarian relief.
No Place Called Home- Asylum Access Launches a Report on Urban Refugees in Dar es Salaam
Asylum Access has just released a new report, No Place Called Home, presenting the findings of a 2010 survey of urban refugees living in Dar es Salaam. The aim of the study is to establish the existence of an urban population in Dar es Salaam with genuine claims to refugee status – and thus rights under Tanzanian and international law. In addition, Asylum Access sought to better understand the protection needs of this population, of which no official estimation exists.

|Indonesian lawyer Todung Mulya Lubis (C) displays recent paintings done in prison by Australian drug convict and death row prisoner Myuran Sukumaran. Image: Romeo Gacad/AFP
By Dr Evelyn Tsitas
In the paintings he made in the 72 hours leading to his execution, Myuran Sukumaran's burst of artistic activity revealed his determination to leave a final mark on the world. His painting of heart, large but fragile, its arteries reaching out from the canvas like vines to the sun, is deeply moving.
Sukumaran's artworks speak louder than words about the brutality of the Indonesian Government's death penalty. In those final artworks, the 34 year old Bali Nine drug smuggler also painted Indonesian president Joko Widodo with an underlined inscription on the back: "People can change".
Close friend Tina Bailey said of Sukumaran's last paintings: "that canvas is his voice. His life journey is personal, a statement and openness of his heart." (The Australian, April 29).
There is a good argument to be made that the artworks serve as a very potent reminder of the tenacity and vibrancy of human life, and the brutal finality of the death penalty.
In the widespread anger and dismay that has followed the execution of Andrew Chan and Muyran Sukumaran this week, it is Sukumaran's artwork which has served as a visual metaphor for the possibility of redemption.
Indeed, in the media narrative on the rehabilitation of Chan and Sukumaran in their decade long incarceration in the Indonesian prison, it is Sukumaran's artwork that provides the key to his rebirth as a model citizen.
Bailey explains: "You can't paint without connecting, especially not the way Myu paints and I think it is soul work. My hope is that he is connecting his soul to them." (March 13)
In Kazuo Ishiguro's 2005 novel Never Let Me Go, scientists have been able to clone people and use them as spare parts for organ donations. Asking what it is that makes us human, Ishiguro paints a grim picture of a possible future of slave-donors. In the novel society looks away from the donors so it isn't forced to confront the issue that they might very well be human and have feelings and desires and fears like the rest of us.
At the end of the novel, Kathy and her friend Tommy track down Miss Emily, a teacher at their old boarding school, and ask her why she was obsessed with them doing creative projects such as art and poetry at school. The reason is never revealed to the students, but Kathy H and Tommy propose the theory that their artwork would reveal their inner selves, and that they might be therefore granted a reprieve from donation their organs if they could prove they were really in love. They are told, however, they were encouraged to make art because it was thought it could both reveal their souls and whether they even had souls at all.
Literary 'monsters' fulfil many roles. They scare, shock and blur the distinction between human and other. These outsiders can take many forms, such as the Chimera of ancient legend, but it the modern world, the monster among us is the criminal, and in Indonesia, the convicted drug smuggler awaits the death penalty as the ultimate retribution for their crimes.
But in the case of Myuran Sukumaran the outsider has taken up the brush, and painted to reveal a soul. Art allowed him a way to recreate his narrative, and show everyone that humans are complex creatures, capable of great depth, contradictions, and change.
Louis Nowra has written that many Australians seek succour from the arts and that as Australia has become more secular, "so many of us find spiritual and emotional satisfaction in art" (The Weekend Australian Review July 12-13 2014).
Archibald prize winner Ben Quilty mentored Sukumaran for several years, paying regular visits to him in the Bali jail, and Deborah Cassrels noted that Sukumaran – who was awarded his associate degree in fine arts from Curtin University in February this year – "blossomed under Quilty's mentorship". (The Australian, Jan 23).
Writes Cassrels; "After two years of serious training, the novice has emerged as a talent…yet the goal was not to launch an art career, but rather to achieve rehabilitation, unattainable without the support of Indonesia's jail system." (The Australian, August 6, 2014)
Ben Quilty in turn praised Sukumaran's "rare drive to learn" and said; "it has taught me more about the intangible skills that a human needs to make an art practice part of their existence, and more about me." (The Age, Jan 23)
In Never Let Me Go, Tommy, who had such a hard time at Hailsham because he wasn't creative, continues to draw his imaginary animals even after he learns that there will be no "deferral" or delay in starting organ donations. This is part of the outsider's growth, for despite the fact that society has decided that the clones did not have souls, and therefore there was no cruelty in keeping them alive and using them as needed, they display a free will and creativity of their own.
Like Ishiguro's clones, Sukumaran's pursuit of his art did not accomplish the aim of moving those in power to grant him the gift of life. But even after knowing there was no hope, Sukumaran continued to make art, and continued to pursue his academic studies, just as Ishiguro's Tommy continued to draw imaginary animals.
It is the triumph of the human spirit to make art despite there being no monetary or 'useful' value in it. And it is this creative drive – and defiance – in the face of certain death that survives.
It is a sad world that cannot believe in redemption, a bleaker one that turns away from the acts of creativity that nourish the community's soul in times of both light and darkness. This is the gift of the artists among us. It shows us what it is to be truly human, in all its messy, faulty, complexity.

National Australia Bank taps into autism talent
Dan has been working at National Australia Bank as an analyst for 5 months now, and is loving it.
"The thing I like most about the role is the chance to fix things. Anything where there is a problem, that can be tackled and corrected, I love that kind of stuff" said Dan.
"It is mostly analysing numbers, we have lots of numbers stored in the network and I do lots of different things with them to produce a numerical output."
As a young adult on the autism spectrum, Dan turned to the employment team at Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) for guidance.
Results from Aspect's "We Belong" research study recently reported 46% of adults on the spectrum identified as being unemployed, compared with 5-9% of the general population in Australia.
"I wouldn't even have considered applying for NAB bank if it hadn't been for Aspect, it was entirely their idea. I was struggling in my professional development and I couldn't see how I was going to get from where I was to where I wanted to go. With this role, there is a much clearer path and I can see a future for myself."
The team at Aspect offer employers training, mentoring and recruitment support, to create job opportunities for a talent pool of individuals on the autism spectrum.
"NAB has made several adjustments to the role to help me settle in. The work schedule is slightly different, I come in and work slightly later hours, and I am working part time rather than full time. And there is a general attitude of understanding, so I know that I can go to them with any issues or accommodations that I need."
Peter Roberts, National Australia Bank General Manager, Finance, Markets says the partnership has been "win-win".
"We have got a great opportunity to tap into talent like Daniel, and there are multiple areas across the bank that can use their skills and experiences."
"The team are really excited to have Daniel amongst the team, and some of the work being produced is of the highest quality. It's a win-win for everyone. We have learnt that this is something we want to do more of, it plays to the core values of us as an organisation and as an employer and I am really proud of where we have got to in such short period of time."
"The most important thing we have learnt is that this program has challenged us, as staff and employers, on how we can make a meaningful difference. It has actually been quite simple, with some really good conversations with Daniel and the great work of Aspect helping us along."
"It doesn't take much, just a bit of support, a bit of motivation and it can make a great difference for everyone. At NAB, we have just learnt that small steps can make a big difference."
For more info about Aspect's employment programs, visit autismspectrum.org.au or call 1800 277 328.

It�s not unusual that an alumnus stops by high school football camp. In fact, it�s rare when it doesn�t happen.
But it still raises eyebrows when that alumnus is in the Hall of Fame and one of the most recognizable faces covering the NFL. When Mike Ditka stopped by the Aliquippa camp at California University of Pennsylvania, it made an impact.
�That was a great feeling, to have a Hall of Famer come to see you in camp,� said senior Davion Hall, the leading returning receiver from last year�s WPIAL Class AA runnersup.
�It just shows we have fans everywhere.�
That kind of fan base often translates into higher expectations. Most would be pleased just to reach a championship game, but not at Aliquippa. The medals they celebrate don�t come in silver � if the season doesn�t end in gold medals, it�s a disappointing one.
�We have the same goals every year � win the conference, win the WPIAL and win the PIAA,� said senior quarterback Mikal Hall, starting for his third year with 4,000 career passing yards well within reach. �It isn�t pressure, it�s just the way it is.�
The Quips return most of the starters from last year, which include the Halls. Running back Dravon Henry rushed for 798 yards in 13 touchdowns despite being worked into the offense gradually and then having his season slowed by injury. The Quips� second leading returning rusher is also a sophomore (Terry Swanson).
Returning starters and experience don�t tell the whole story at Aliquippa, though. Starting one year doesn�t mean a starting position the next. It�s not uncommon for a newcomer to unseat a returning starter because the standards are high.
The starting lineup in the final game probably won�t be the same as the starting lineup in the opener.
�Growing up as a kid, we were fans and saw it,� said Davion Hall. �Everyone around here expects a lot from the Quips. Now we�re the ones everyone looks at.�
�We always feel the target is on our back,� said coach Mike Zmijanac, another Aliquippa alum. �Aliquippa has earned that reputation, everyone gets up to play us.
�We�re a young team, we only have eight seniors and we�re doing a lot of teaching this year but we know that no one is going to feel sorry for us because of that. That�s not the way it is.�
The Quips have a multitude of weapons but the ultimate success will start up front. Two starters return in senior G J�Waymon Stone and junior T Emanuel Williams. Sophomore Jaleel Fields will also start at one of the remaining positions, but the other two spots remained open as camp was ending. ... Mikal Hall will be the starting quarterback for the third straight year. He passed for 1,525 yards and 19 TDs last year. ... Davion Hall returns as a starting wide receiver after catching 14 passes � five for touchdowns � last year. ... Malik Shegog and Jyier Turner will also see action at wide receiver, while Kaylan Kenney who was a big play receiver for Rochester last year starts at wingback. ... Sophomores Dajon Perry and Donovan Cobb will man the tight end spot. ... At running back, Dravon Henry rushed for 798 yards and 13 touchdowns last season as a freshman, despite missing time with an injury. ... The Quips will also use Terry Swanson (150 yards as a freshman last year), Devon Walker, Marquis Jenkins, Tyrik Hayes and Desmond Hardy in the backfield. Swanson, Jenkins, Hayes and Hardy all scored rushing touchdowns last year.
In 13 games last season, Aliquippa�s opponents scored more than once just five times. The core of that defense returns. ... Starting as the interior linemen are Fields, Edward Mitchell and Khalil Seaburn. ... The ends will be Damon Henry and Chris Ingram. ... The linebackers will be Cobb and Cello Chavis, while the secondary will be Davion Hall, Dravon Henry, Malik Stewart and Shegog.
Kicking extra points has long been a challenge for the Quips, but Jenkins has been up to it. Using a straight-ahead style, He kicked 21 extra points last year. ... As always, Aliquippa�s return game will be dangerous regardless of who is the returner.

Assistance for a Poverty Alleviation Project for Ex-combatants in Northern Uganda through the Trust Fund for Human Security
October 20, 2005
- On October 20 (Thursday), the Government of Japan and the United Nations (UN) decided to extend assistance of a total of 1,436,987.10 US dollar (approximately 155.19 million yen) through the Trust Fund for Human Security for the project "Multi-skills training and community service facilities for sustainable livelihoods and poverty alleviation - Reintegration of ex-combatants and former rebels -" to be implemented by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in Uganda.
- This project will be implemented in Yumbe District of Northern Uganda where poverty level is exceptionally higher than other districts as a result of the civil strife in the past. The project will encourage local communities to be active participants and focus on promoting social reintegration and self sustainability of ex-combatants, former rebels and their families by implementing vocational and other forms of training in the rural communities, while taking into account of the needs and abilities of each individual.
- This project is expected to benefit approximately 6,500 ex-combatants and former rebels through vocational training in woodworking, metalworking, food processing and assistance in starting micro-enterprises, and to contribute to poverty reduction in the target district through these activities.
The Trust Fund for Human Security was established in the United Nations Secretariat in March 1999 by the initiative of the Government of Japan, with total contributions of approximately 29 billion yen (approximately US$ 256 million) up to the present. The Trust Fund has assisted more than 130 UN agencies' projects and programmes that address various threats to human life, livelihood and dignity, from the perspective of human security.

What's in a name? As referenced in Shakespeare's play Romeo & Juliet, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." In the case of flower name origins, this is all true. Their names may come from a variety of different sources. From mythology to their classifications in the plant world, the names of flowers and plants all have different origin stories. People you may know or come in contact with in your daily lives may be named after a flower or plant. Just like your friend or relative, the name of a flower or plant plays a key role in their identity.
The rose, has its name origin from a Norman form of the Germanic names of Roese and Rohese. It was used to shorten the names of any old Germanic name in use in England in the middle ages that contained the element hros, ros (horse). Roses are mainly found growing nowadays in any part of the world where there is a temperate climate.
Daisy is from the Old English word daegeseage, meaning "day's eye", in reference to its round, yellow center resembling the sun. The name Daisy comes from the flower, which has the aforementioned name origin. Daisies grow as a species known as the English daisy throughout the northwestern United States as a weed.
Lily is derived from Middle English lilie, which is from the Old English and Latin lilium. It refers to the flower we know today as the lily. It is believed to have its roots in ancient Egypt, where the name for the lotus flower was thought to have been used by Hebrews and changed over time to eventually stay as it is now with the word lily. The lily flower can be found in Europe, Asia and North America. It grows mostly in temperate and tropical areas.
The word tulip has undergone many transformations throughout the ages. It has its origins in the Middle East. It comes from the Persian word for turban, delband, and it has its roots in a tradition from medieval times in the Ottoman Empire: in the 1500s, it was fashionable for tulips to be worn on turbans. (A fully opened tulip was thought of to resemble a turban.) Western Europeans, frequent visitors to the region at the time, forced "delband" to go through phases of translations via the western European languages until finally it reached English in the late 1500s as tulip. Delband then went from "delband" to "tulipa" to "tulipant" to "tulip" in no time. The tulip's genus' name tulipa may also be an origin to the name tulip. Tulips can now be found growing in Holland, Switzerland, the U.K, and Australia and in the American states of Michigan, Iowa and Washington.
The iris is an example of just how important your name is to your identity. The word iris comes from the actual Greek word for "rainbow" and from the myth about Iris, the ancient Greek goddess of the rainbow. In the story, she is the messenger to Zeus and Hera and was said to guide the dead on their journey to Heaven from Earth. The rainbow was thought of by the ancient Greeks to be her flowing, multicolored robe. Others believed the beautiful multi-colored flowers were also part of her robe or the flowing veil from her dress. The ancient Greeks soon then began the practice of planting purple iris flowers on the graves of women, hoping to entice the goddess to guide their loved ones on their journey to Heaven. Iris flowers also have their name origins in their scientific names of Iridaceae (family), Iridoideae (subfamily) and Irideae (tribe). The iris flower can be found to grow naturally in North America, the Middle East, northern Africa, Europe and Asia.
The snapdragon's name is derived from the Greek word "antirrhinon" which roughly translates to "nose-like", "anti" meaning like and "rhin" meaning nose. This colorful flower gets its name from its resemblance to a dragon's head. It's no wonder, then, that its botanical name is antirrhinum. Its common name of snapdragon comes from the "snap" the flowers make when their throats are squeezed, resembling a dragon's mouth being wide open. Snapdragons are native to Europe, North Africa and the United States, most flourishing in rocky areas.
Azalea is one unique name in the flower world. Azalea comes from azaleos, a Greek word that means dry. The azalea flower thrives in well-drained or sandy soil. The flower's name was first coined in the mid-18th century by Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus. Azaleas are native to several continents including Asia, Europe and North America. They are planted abundantly as ornamentals in the southeastern USA, southern Asia, and parts of southwest Europe.
Asters find their name origin in their family scientific name of Asteraceae. The name aster comes from ancient Greek word ἀστήρ (astḗr), meaning "star", referring to the shape of the flower head. Asters are mainly found in North America and Southern Europe.
Wheww! I hope I didn't boggle your mind too much with all of this information. As you can see, the question, "What's in a name?" is one that is answered extensively in this piece because every flower has a name and an origin, much like we do. It is important to know whwre they com from, much where we come from.

Global warming refers to the rising average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century, as well as its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century, Earth's mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F), with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980.[2] Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and scientists are more than 90% certain that it is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities such asdeforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.[3][4][5][6] These findings are recognized by the national science academies of all major industrialized nations.[7][A]
Climate model projections are summarized in the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) by the Intergovernmental Panel ...view middle of the document...
[11] Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with the continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely effects of the warming include a more frequent occurrence of extreme-weather events including heat waves, droughts and heavy rainfall, species extinctions due to shifting temperature regimes, and changes in crop yields. Warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe, with projections being more robust in some areas than others.[12] If global mean temperature increases to 4 °C (7.2 °F) above preindustrial levels, the limits for human adaptation are likely to be exceeded in many parts of the world, while the limits of adaptation for natural systems would largely be exceeded throughout the world. Hence, the ecosystem services upon which human livelihoods depend would not be preserved.[13]
Policy responses to global warming include mitigation by emissions reduction, adaptation to its effects, and possible futuregeoengineering. Most countries are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC),[14] whose ultimate objective is to prevent dangerous anthropogenic (i.e., human-induced) climate change.[15] Parties to the UNFCCC have adopted a range of policies designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions[16]:10[17][18][19]:9 and to assist in adaptation to global warming.[16]:13[19]:10[20][21] Parties to the UNFCCC have agreed that deep cuts in emissions are required,[22] and that future global warming should be limited to below 2.0 °C (3.6 °F) relative to the pre-industrial level.[22][B] A 2011 report of analyses by the United Nations Environment Programme[23] and International Energy Agency[24] suggest that efforts as of the early 21st century to reduce emissions may be inadequately stringent to meet the UNFCCC's 2 °C target.

Saturn's Rings
Saturn, the sixth planet from the sun, is one of the most easily identified targets for astronomers, largely due to its large and distinct ring system. However, Saturn is not the only planet in the solar system to have rings — Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune also contain faint ring systems. The rings are wide — 170,000 miles across (273,600 km) — but only about 30 feet (10 meters) thick. They consist of countless small particles, ranging in size from micrometres to metres that orbit about Saturn. The rings are named alphabetically in the order of discovery.
In 1610, the year after Galileo Galilei first turned a telescope to the sky, he became the very first person to observe Saturn's rings, though he could not see them well enough to discern their true nature. In 1655, Christiaan Huygens was the first person to describe them as a disk surrounding Saturn.
The dense main rings extend from 7,000 km to 80,000 km above Saturn's equator. With an estimated local thickness of as little as 10 metres and as much as 1 kilometre, they are composed of 99.9 percent pure water ice with a smattering of impurities that may include tholins or silicates. Thus, the main rings are, from farthest from the planet to closest, A, B and C. A gap 2,920 miles wide (4,700 kilometers), known as the Cassini Division, separates the A and B rings. Voyager 1 detected the innermost D ring in 1980. The F ring lies just outside of the A ring, while the G and E ring lay even farther out. Earth is visible as a "pale blue dot" at about the 4 o'clock position, between the G Ring and outer E Ring.
Radio signals of differing wavelengths were sent from Cassini through the rings to Earth. The attenuation of each signal reflects the abundance of particles of sizes similar to the wavelength and larger. Purple (much of the B Ring and the inner A ring) indicates few particles smaller than 5 cm are present. Green and blue (the C Ring and outer A Ring) indicate particles smaller than 5 cm and 1 cm, respectively, are common. White areas of the B Ring are densest and transmit too little signal for size estimation. Other evidence indicates all three rings have a broad range of particle sizes, up to meters across.
There is still no consensus as to the rings mechanism of formation; some features of the rings suggest a relatively recent origin, but theoretical models indicate they are likely to have formed early in the Solar System's history. Several hypotheses exist as to the how Saturn's rings were formed. One possibility is that the rings were once large moons that spiraled into the planet. Saturn has at least 62 moons. Only one (Titan) is large; the rest are small bodies. Only 13 of the moons are larger than 30 miles (50 km). The gravity of these moons affects the structure of Saturn's rings, but also offer insight into possible formation methods. If the icy outer layers were stripped away, leaving the core to crash into Saturn, the result would be rings dominated by nearly pure water-ice.
Data from the Cassini space probe indicate that the rings of Saturn possess their own atmosphere, independent of that of the planet itself. The atmosphere is composed of molecular oxygen gas (O2) produced when ultraviolet light from the Sun interacts with water ice in the rings. This atmosphere, despite being extremely sparse, was detected from Earth by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Liberté Linux 2012.1

Honestly what does this have to do with Lubuntu or the Ubuntu Community and why are you allowing content like this on Planet Ubuntu?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 15, 2012 12:59 pm
Because of two reasons. One is that all environments I publish of are LXDE. Another thing is that I believe that Planet Ubuntu is having some help and feedbaack from other Linux communities, like Gentoo or Arch (which were the ones who solved some GTK3 problems a few months ago).ReplyDelete
So I don't think the different distros are lonely islands around here, but they're part of the same goal: Linux. Ubuntu is just the best and easy option (under my opinion, of course) for the end user.
Another reason to mention some others is the software included in that releases, that possibly will be included (or used) in Ubuntu, like Wayland project is (developed for Fedora, OpenSuSE and now Ubuntu).
But, anyway, you're right in one thing. If this blog is getting specialized more and more in Lubuntu things, these articles will finally disappear.

Brussels, 3 June 2010
Internal Market: the Commission takes action to enforce the right of self‑employed persons to provide services in Belgium
The European Commission has today decided to bring an action against Belgium before the Court of Justice. The Commission considers that Belgium has failed to fulfil its European obligations by requiring self‑employed service providers from other Member States to make a prior declaration before being able to provide temporary services in Belgium. The Commission sent Belgium a reasoned opinion on 9 October 2009. Since it has not received a satisfactory response from the Belgian authorities, the Commission has decided to refer the matter to the Court of Justice.
What is the aim of the EU rules in question?
As service providers, self‑employed workers have the right to provide services under Article 56 TFEU without having to undergo unjustified or disproportionate formalities. That right has been confirmed repeatedly by the Court of Justice.
In what way is Belgium failing to comply with that rule?
Any self‑employed worker from another Member State who wishes to provide temporary services in Belgium (except exempted cases) must make a prior 'Limosa' declaration. The fact that the Belgian authorities are in principle making the exercise of a fundamental freedom subject to a prior administrative step must be regarded as a restriction on the freedom to provide services within the meaning of the Court's case law. In order to be compatible with Community law, such a restriction must be justified and proportionate according to the consistent rulings of the Court. Such a prior step could be justified and proportionate in some sectors or specific cases, such as cases involving the posting of workers (cases which are not, however, the subject of this procedure) or in the sphere of social security. But the justifications cited by the Belgian authorities regarding self‑employed workers have not convinced the Commission and the measure is, in any case, disproportionate to the objectives being pursued.
This matter does not concern the cases in which the 'Limosa' declaration is required in order to enable the Belgian authorities to check the application, to posted workers, of the working conditions laid down in Directive 96/71/EC of 16 December 1996 concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services.
What are the negative consequences for EU citizens and/or businesses?
The 'Limosa' declaration is of general scope and affects thousands of service providers in the European Union. It covers in principle (except where exemption is expressly stated) any self‑employed provider of cross‑border services, such as freelance journalists or businesspeople who travel to Belgium to canvass potential customers. It also affects, for example, self‑employed craftspeople or consultants who come to Belgium to provide services under contract (carrying out a study, installing software, etc.).
The 'Limosa' declaration is another formality to complete before travelling to Belgium. It is in addition to the existing formalities concerning, for example, social security or the recognition of professional qualifications which service providers already have to complete before providing their services in Belgium. Foreign service providers receive an acknowledgement of receipt once they have made the declaration. They must present that acknowledgement of receipt to the person to whom they are providing services. In the absence of that acknowledgement of receipt or prior declaration, severe criminal and administrative penalties are provided for which reinforce the deterrent effect of this formality. Infringement of the 'Limosa' obligation may be punished by imprisonment of between 8 days and 1 year and/or a fine of €500 to €2 500, up to a maximum of €125 000.
This formality may also discourage Belgian operators from using service providers from other Member States. Belgian operators are required to check that service providers are in possession of the acknowledgement of receipt and to report to the relevant authorities the particulars of any service provider who is not able to present the acknowledgement of receipt, failing which the Belgian operator concerned is subject to the same penalties in the form of fines and/or imprisonment.
Regarding infringement proceedings
Under Article 258 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), the Commission has the power to institute infringement proceedings against a Member State which is failing to meet its obligations under European Union rules. The proceedings comprise three stages. Initially, if the Commission considers that EU law may have been infringed, it sends the Member State concerned a letter of formal notice with a view to obtaining information; the Member State has two months within which to reply. If the Commission's suspicions concerning a possible infringement of EU law are confirmed, it sends a reasoned opinion asking the Member State to comply with EU law within two months. In the absence of a satisfactory response, the Commission may refer the matter to the Court of Justice in Luxembourg. If a Member State is handed down a judgment by the Court and does not comply with it, the Commission may also ask the Court to impose a fine on the country concerned.

Today I am sharing three new treat bags all with a love theme!
First up is my new Treat Bag Holder.
This file comes with the base, decorative mat, and heart shape and it is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats.
This one is really easy to put together. First cut all your pieces out and fold on the score line. I am using small jewelry bags to place the candy in (they are 3"x5"). Place adhesive on the back of the decorative mat and then place the candy bag top behind the mat and adhere it in place. Fold the flap down and place a little adhesive so the flap sticks to the bag and then use a foam adhesive to attach the heart! Super easy which makes these perfect for bulk creations!
Next up is my Love Door Box!
This box is 9-1/2" x 3-1/4" x 2-1/4" and holds lots and lots of goodies. The file comes with the box base, the sentiment pieces, and the hearts and it is compatible with both the 12x12 and 8-1/2x12 mats!
This one is super quick to put together so you can get the kids involved!
You can find the tutorial HERE.
And lastly….
My new Candy Holder Heart!
This file comes with the background heart, the heart with cuts (which holds a Pixy Stix perfectly), the arrow front and arrow backing and it is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats.
1. Cut out all the pieces. Push your Pixy Stix Stick through the slots.
2. Fold the arrow head in half on the score line and place adhesive on the two bottom edges (by the V shape). Fold the piece around the pixie stick top and adhere in place. Next slide the arrow back on the bottom of the pixie stick using the slots.
3. Adhere the heart on to the heart backing!
All that is left to do is write your message on the heart piece!

I'm supposed to ice my foot often. I probably don't do it as often as I should, but I have made a point to do it at least once in the afternoon, and that has led to just a bit of quiet time most days. Because I need to put my foot up with an ice pack, or stick it in a pot of ice, or roll it on my frozen plastic water bottle, I can't really do much else while I'm taking care of it. So usually, I sit and have a cup of tea and perhaps look at a magazine, watch some TV, or update my running log for 20 minutes.
It's made me realize how spun up I get some days. Like today. A frustrating meeting last night, some less-than-enjoyable stuff going on around the house, and various email crap had me in a dark funk this morning. It was just a shitty day from the moment my eyes opened, one of those days when you wake up with the thought that you are irrepairably behind.
I'd run at St. Eds/Forest Ridge yesterday and, as usual, had a restorative and refreshing time there. But the minute I finished, it felt like the world came crashing back in; so many little, boring, unappreciated things that needed to be done. Things that you know make a difference somewhere but damn, if it isn't hard to see exactly where sometimes. The meeting to prepare for, which ran late; home to a messy house, alone; tired.
So this morning, foggy and gray, started out fairly doomed and I vented online…a friend posted a note that said to give her call. I did and we met for coffee. It's amazing how we can find time for so much minutia that we crowd out the things that matter. We sat and chatted about our lives and talked about just this, and that weight in my chest lifted.
Our house is in disarry, some of it on the inside and a lot on the outside. It's funny how unsettled that makes me feel. So after I came back from our coffee, I got my desk in order, corralled the papers floating around the house, cleared post-it notes of "to dos" out of the vicinity, put things in folders, and felt better. Nothing I can do about the outside; I made a purposeful decision to ignore the phone call about the tree. There's no rush to remove it, and I can't quite process that just now.
I blew off any workout this morning, and I'll miss coaching tonight due to a school function (the cross country banquet). We're looking at a weekend full of traveling, and I've planned to get my long run in on the greenbelt starting late on Sunday afternoon while the boys head to San Antonio for a soccer tourney. I haven't done this particular run in over a year and I'm looking forward to it. In the interim, I think I'll hit Walnut Creek or the greenbelt on Friday for a mid-length run, something to justify not running on Saturday while we're doing college things.
Surprisingly, I am fairly on track for the 100K out at Bandera. I'll be on the under-trained side slightly but that's much better than heading down the side of over-training, especially with my recovery issues. My biggest hurdle is probably my mind.
I've got two races inbetween, Warda Wild Hare 50K in two weeks and Dallas White Rock two weeks after that. Nice way to finish out the year. Despite the hamstring and my foot, I will have managed 14 events when I complete those two, everything from the super-short Splash & Dash to back-to-back trail events in Tulsa (a marathon and 25K on the same weekend) to the 5-day, 201-mile bike ride across Germany. Three marathons, one ultra (50K), and a metric century on the bike amongst all the short stuff. And I picked up my first age-group award in triathlon. Clearly, I have much to be thankful for and much to celebrate for 2010.
I just need to let go of all the minutia and focus on the good.
