Madrid Reportedly Shot Wonderkid Owned Barcelona
Barcelona – Real Madrid and Barcelona feud could then intensified in the foreseeable future. El Real reportedly eyeing Lee Seung-Woo, South Korean wonderkid who is currently studying at La Masia.
Lee Seung-Woo is currently 17 years old. Footballers who dubbed Lionel Messi from South Korea that had contracted the Catalans since 2011 last year and digandang-large will be the successor to the main squad Messi at Barca.
However, the penalty imposed on the club's FIFA – related charges of illegal transfer of the young players – make future Lee could move from Camp Nou to the Santiago Bernabeu. Madrid now has a policy to bring the full potential of young players called serious middle snap a picture.
Lee is suspected to be one that makes Barcelona can purchase FIFA sanctions. The player was reportedly banned for his club's official match until the penalty period The Catalans finished in 2016. With so Lee can only appear in official games and friendship along the country.
Marca claims that the condition can make Lee minded to go. Middle are at the age where the desire to play a very large, Lee is likely to look for a new club. In conditions that Madrid can go to bid.
Madrid is also central to the threat of punishment similar to Barcelona. However, on some occasions stronghold of El Real is very sure that does not violate the rules of FIFA.
Madrid in some time to back very aggressively targeting young players who are considered to have tremendous potential. Conditions Barcelona who was in the period of transfer ban further facilitate step Los Merengues.
Success brings Martin Odegaard and Lucas Silva is proof. Both players had previously estimated Barcelona.

This little girl Chloe Moretz has kicked the ass of every adult Female Superhero I have seen to date to the curb. She was focused, cute, vulnerable and kicked ass without mercy, nor did she ask for. Her mission was bigger than her and I think thats what makes a SuperHero not voluptuous bodies in skin hugging outfits slinking all over the place. No apologies Elecktra, Lara the Tomb raider, Aeon Flux, Batwoman, CatWoman.
But on to serious matters, I half agreed with this review in "Rotten tomatoes interesting 'Hit Girl flips like a gymnast, curses like a sailor, kills like a maniac and ignites yet another useful if irresolvable debate on the limits of screen violence, the desensitization of the culture and the wisdom of exploiting children for entertainment".
I found the first scene when Hit-girl[a 10yr old] graphically murdered 7 men disturbing but.... decided to carry- go jare[continue] and enjoy the movie.
But people, this internet age na wa. Did you find it unfunny that when Kick-ass was defending the guy against the 2 goons, that all them kids were watching and videoing the action instead of helping or calling the police?? Okay maybe they called the police, but the look of fascination on their faces was more like 'Yay, real live action men!! Talk about Zombie nation. God help us. Rating despite disturbing image ;-) 8.8/10
So JG4M wanted to see this and I initially left him to it, but changed my mind 15 mins after. So I missed some of the great action at the beginning. Still didnt detract from the beauty of this movie. Its supposed to be 3D but I didnt need that to enjoy the flawless choreography from Vincent Zhao and Andy Yo. Add some dark magic to that, some psychoses, drunken martial arts and you have a great story which only Asians could pull off. It would have looked ridiculous if Hollywood. Michelle Yeoh [Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger] made a thankless cameo appearance. I was actually looking forward to some sword fight from her: alas she vanished the way she came. my rating: 7.2/10
I watched this movie[1950] based on The Fiendish's recommendation and I must admit it was a simple but deceptively complex and most thought provoking movie about what truth is. And how human perspective influences what we really see and what we think we saw. A Samurai's dead body is found and his wife admits that she was raped by a notorious bandit, Tajomaru. Who killed the Samurai is the mystery we are left with. 4 people a wood cutter, the wife, the bandit and the slain man's spirit tell us what transpired from their own perspectives. 3 of them claim to be the killer. And the killer was......well, I cant tell you cos i don't know. methinks it was a suicide. Watch it and make up your own mind...if you can.
Another blogger gave this movie a not so positive review and this put me off the movie somewhat for 7wks [the file was moulding in my movie folder]. And was she wrong [this applies to my reviews too u know]. It was a good movie admittedly not as great as the hype but still. An amazing performance from Shah Rukh Khan as a man suffering from Asperger's syndrome who is telling post 9/11 America not to judge him by his Muslim name. Yeah, it was a sobfest, full of info about the syndrome and chock-full of heart. Rating 6.7/10 And guess who made an appearance in the movie albeit a small part as a young Rizwan Khan...Tanay Chheda [Middle Jamal in Slum dog millionaire]. Hope he makes it good in movies [if thats his dream].
Go watch people. I must have lucked out to have seen all these lovely movies this weekend. Puts me in a great mood for work hehehe. Y'll have a great week ahead.

Brave Brands: Why We Care About Brands Who Care
Feb 24, 2018
In the first week of December 2017, Patagonia did something that few online retailers would have the guts to do. During the height of holiday shopping, they replaced their website homepage's usual retail-related options with a simple black background with white text, creating a roadblock for any customer visiting…
The message referred to President Trump's order to reduce the size of two national parks in the state of Utah by nearly 2 million acres. Whether you agree with the online retailer's position on the protection of public lands or its political inclinations, you have to stop for a moment to respect the brand's willingness to put its beliefs ahead of its own profitability. We live in a world where corporate dollars have an increasingly profound affect on our political climate. And, fortunately, a world where brands are starting to consider that they might use their own weight for the greater benefit of society.
Studies have long found that Millennials, one of the most brand-loyal generations, signal their personal identity via their brand preference. Point a finger at social media – and the way that individuals have learned to broadcast the version of their lives that they wish to show the world – if you like, but the fact remains that this massive group of consumers cares deeply about how they are publicly perceived.
Millennials are aging. With their years comes increased buying power as their collective income begins to grow. This is a generation that is wary of corporate greed, locally-minded, and heavily influenced by the impact that the financial crisis had on its early years in society. In fact, 75% of Millennials now say that it's either fairly or very important that a company gives back to society instead of just making a profit. A 2015 Nielsen survey also found that three out of four Millennials — more than any other generation — are willing to pay extra for sustainable product offerings.
Stout Heart, from day one, has lived by the motto, "Be Brave". When we call ourselves a marketing agency with heart, we really mean it. What does that mean?
We put good out into the universe.
We do work that we believe in.
We work with brands we believe in.
When evaluating a prospective client, we look for a majority of the following criteria:
Does their brand do good?
Is their team made up of good people?
Will we do good work together?
A great example of a client that passed this test with flying colors is Alnoba. Based on 400 acres of woodlands in Kensington, New Hampshire, Alnoba is meant to act as a place of transformation for individuals and organizations, through learning, leadership, and culture. Here are some reasons that we count Alnoba as one of our favorite Brave Brands:
- Alnoba donates all proceeds to support leadership programming for nonprofits and Seacoast and Boston city youth.
- Alnoba's Farm at Eastman's Corner supports 100 local farmers and artisans. 100% of its profits and 5% of every sale goes to support Sawyer Park, a clean, safe place for local families.
- Alnoba's main building is not just beautiful, it was the first building of its kind to achieve Passive House standard in the Northeast.
- The Lewis Family Foundation, which started it all, has given over $164 million to 300 sustainability and conservation-focused projects since its inception.
Need we say more? Here are some great examples of Brave Brands that we think are making the world a better place:
Innovative outdoor products and experiences that fund sustainable poverty alleviation, move people to do good, and inspire adventure.
Uniquely packaged in an environmentally friendly box—meaning it is 100 percent recyclable and made from 70 percent renewable resources.
The 'Pela' phone case is made with a flax-based material. It's biodegradable and good for the environment.
The Citizenry partners with master artisans from around the world. Through their commitment to providing fair wages, happy working environments, and sustaining grants, their artisan partners are able to take their crafts and their businesses to new places.
Have a list of favorite Brave Brands of your own? Give us a shout on social media and be sure to tag #BraveBrands. And look for more on this to come from our team at Stout Heart as we find ways to recognize brands doing good in the world and share them with you.

"It's just a little ahead", he tells me before turning again and walking briskly. A stone slips from under his foot and goes hurtling down the cliff. I try to look down but its too dark and all I see are the waves hitting the rocks.
"I have never swum after drinking, you know" I tell him, laughingly. The next moment I am shaking my head. If I hadn't laughed, maybe he wouldn't know that I am nervous. He tells me that I look alright to him and we would be fine. We keep walking.
The path is narrow. And hardly used. Goran claims that no one knows about it. I think no one uses it because it is too steep and one false step, and you fall hundred metres down into the sea.
It's a full moon night, and the sea looks silver from up where we are. I wonder if I should light a smoke but refrain. The mountain is too beautiful. We keep walking, briskly, but every time I look down at the sea, it still looks as far as it did the last time.
I have always loved the sea, ever since I was a child. The waves, the breeze, the boats on the horizon, they all play their part in giving me peace. I think back over the last few years. Of how life changed, of how it wasn't meant to. If I am here today, because of what happened two years back. If only things had never changed. Another side teases me saying that I am acting tipsy. Surely two pints can't make me introspective. Dear Lord, how we have fallen. Goran coughs, and my reverie is broken.
I have not known Goran for long. In fact, I know him only for three days. We met on the first night I reached Goa. He is a traveller from Croatia. I like him. He has been on the road alone for over a year now, and I keep asking him about all the doubts I have of travelling alone myself. To discover ourselves, sounds like a clichéd line, if not corny. Why should we? We speak of it at length. "It is important you know to be able to be happy, all by yourself", he tells me, smiling. I wonder if I am. Sure I am, at the surface. I like my work, I have a few good friends, I am happy. But am I? The past comes rushing in, just like the waves that dash against the rocks. The answer hits me like a bolt of lightning.
We have reached the bottom. "There, can you see the caves?" he says, pointing at some dark cliff, along the coastline. I nod my head, and make an approximate calculation of the distance in my head. I have always liked maths. "It's not high tide yet" , he tells me but I already know that. I have never swum in a cave before, and I am not a great swimmer. Maybe he is, maybe he's not. Why I trust him, I do not know. Maybe because he speaks softly, and makes you feel comfortable. Or maybe because I am willing to try anything these days. I don't care. It cannot be a good thing, to not care.
A strong breeze is blowing and we run across the water, towards the caves. We yell as we run, and we are the only two people for miles around. I slip and fall in the water, and a wave sprays my face. As I laugh and wipe the water off my eyes, I see Goran is much ahead. He does not know I fell. And I know if I hadn't come to Goa alone, I would never have met him, and never would have been running at 2 in the night towards a cave in the sea. I am beginning to get some more answers now. I get up and run. With every step I take, I am leaving the past behind me. Or am I only trying to outrun it? I don't yell anymore, I just run with my eyes closed, the water flying off the back of my legs.
We have reached the caves now. They look dark and ominous. "We have got about an hour", Goran tells me, "after that the tide will come in high." "We'll cross the length long before" I tell him and go inside. He laughs and joins me.
When we go inside, the water is higher than our waists. I take a deep breath and put my head inside. It is icy cold. I feel it as it flows from my head to my shoulders to my back. I let go. Goran's strong and he goes ahead, in neat knife like strokes. I open my eyes and look at the walls of the cave. The water keeps swooshing to the edges, and here inside the sound is magnified. The water is cold but it feels good on the skin, and I am not thinking anymore.
I float for a while on my back, looking at the ceiling. A bat flies a few feet above us, and maybe it likes this new, strange company.
What has happened, has. It was beautiful then, and tonight is another day. I have been working too hard these two years, it was important to forget. But maybe working so much wasn't. Maybe I needed this holiday to tell me that, maybe I needed this cave to feel free.
The bat circles around, and so do I, trying to keep our movements synchronous. When it leaves, I turn and go about my own path. I am not trying to outrun anything anymore, I am letting go. I smile, for I don't feel the water flying off my legs anymore. Swimming here in this cave I am aware of all my senses, aware of myself, aware of the world around me.
Some time that night, I came out of the cave and saw Goran waiting. "Did you like that?" he asks enthusiastically. I smile at him and nod my head.

When you suffer from Berlin withdrawals, was most likely not "chance" leading me to the coffee shop Hendrix Ibsen with a coffee shop in Berlin, Oslo kaffebar, around Nordbahnhof. One month in the big city, ironically, got to this first arriving in Oslo. Developed a habit of diving comfortably in a chair at Dussmann das KulturKaufhaus to open a book or letting the mind wander by the Vertikaler Garten. The latter, a vertical garden containing numerous plants, on cold December days provided a pleasant escape.
Thinking back on my new favorite things, first Treptower Park with the exciting abandoned Spreepark and Sowjetische Ehrenmal nearby. Imagining how it must be during summer, with a cold beverage or just strolling around. Another newcomer, Flakturm Humboldthain in Volkspark Humboldthain. Saw it in the BTNG music video "Gewachsen auf Beton" and something I just had to see. Traveled on a very tight budget, but this was part of the park Sunday I had.

text: The masterful Lebanese oud player Rabih Abou-Kahlil-now living in Germany, where he is best known-has made it his business to combine elements of his native musical language with jazz, while weaving in rock and other ideas from American musical soil. His ongoing refinement process, not merely a continuation of past ideas, is amply evident on his ambitious new album, The Cactus of Knowledge (Enja). Here, his oud and the indigenous percussion of the rig, played by Nabil Khaiat, frames an ensemble sound made up largely of brass and reed players. In the group are such potent players and enriched soloists as French hornist Tom Varner, euphonium player Dave Bargeron and saxophonists Ellery Eskelin and Antonio Hart, who navigate the metrically complex scores while lending their own idiomatically jazz-aligned improv along the way. The CD package is beautiful, with embossed art and text on the cover, and poetic liner notes by Gamal Ghitany, befitting music at once declarative and mysterious.

Editor's note: This is an extract from an exceptionally full and authoritative article on the Clann Mhic Gille Chonaill by Donald C McWhannell, who is an acknowledged authority on the history of boat building in Argyll. The full text follows below.
The well known and fondly remembered Lismore resident Donald Black, a founder member of Comann Eachdraidh Lios Mór, stated that;
"On Lismore in the 19th.century and into the early part of the 20th.century there lived and worked a family of traditional boat builders of the name "Connell". They had obviously dropped the "Mac" as did many other highlanders. They were known locally as "na Connellaich". The saw pit and work shop they used is well preserved and can be seen to this day at Port Moluag on the eastern shore of the island. The last member of the Connells to ply his trade was Malcolm, who like others of his time was a crofter, the name of which was Polandaidhan. He was known locally as Calum Connall, he had cousins, Duncan and Connall Connall who tenanted another croft at Baillenangobhan, the latter was known as "Connall Ruadh". I can remember clearly seeing Calum's enormous "rip saw" on the rafters of his then deserted crofthouse. This would be as late as the 1950's and could very well be still there as the building still stands. He was the last Precenter to "read the line" in Clachan Church and was said to possess a tenor voice of magnificent quality. His only daughter, Sahra, was married to John MacDougall an old neighbour of ours. They were childless and she died in 1961.
Callum's cousin, Duncan Connall, was "Ground Officer" to the Duke of Argyll for many years in the early part of this century though no longer a tenant on Argyll land. This was the clue which directed my thoughts to the possibility of a link with the MacGilleChonnel, the traditional boat builders to the Campbells. Duncan had a reputation for being ultra conscientious in the pursuit of his duties. He was also Attendance Officer to the Lismore schools. Connall Ruadh was one of those chosen to give evidence to the Napier Commission when they visited Lismore in 1883. When questioned by Lord Selkirk as to when he sold his stirks he replied in his usual abrupt manner "May sir". The next question put to him was, "What price does one get for a stirk in May?" Connall's reply was "I'll not know that 'till I sell it! " He was in no way overawed.
On the face of it "Oral Tradition" would certainly point to the Connall's of Lismore being a branch of this ancient line of traditional boat builders. So too would many of the family forenames, i.e. Duncan, Malcolm and Donald. They were also tenants on what was originally Campbell land, these bits and pieces of information would seem something more than sheer coincidence" (1).
Lismore Connels
Connall Ruadh was aged 77 years on 13th.August 1883 when giving evidence to the Napier Commission. Connel Connel / Connall Ruadh died aged 89 on 11th.January 1895. He must have been born sometime between August 1805 and August 1806.
The following information on Connel births/christenings and deaths on Lismore may be found from the International Genealogical Index (I.G.I.) and various other family history web sites.
13th. May 1778 christening of Donald son of Connel Connil and Mary McColl
14th.January 1784 birth of Donald son of Neil Connel and Anne Graham (Kilandrist)
1805 to 1806 birth of Connel Connel (Connall Ruadh) son of Donald Connel and Jane Cameron
12nd. December 1808 christening of Donald son of James Connel and Sarah McCallum (Balure)
12nd. December 1828 christening of Donald son of James Connel and Sarah McCallum (Balure)
17th.December 1836 birth of Anne daughter of James Connel and Sarah McCallum (Balure)
15th. March1838 birth of Connel son of James Connel and Sarah McCallum (Balure) and 16th. April 1838 christening of Connel son of James Connel and Sarah McCallum (Balure)
2nd. March 1841 christening of Malcolm son of James Connel and Sarah McCallum (Balure)
11th. January 1895 death of Connel Connel (Connall Ruadh), his son Donald Connel was present at his death
16th. January 1904 birth of Donald son of Duncan Connel and Catherine McPherson, Balnagowan (Donald sadly died of tuberculosis aged only 17 in 1921)
23rd. November 1909 Hector McPherson son of Duncan Connel and Catherine McPherson (Balnagowan)
13th. October 1911 Mary Jane daughter of Duncan Connel and Catherine McPherson (Balnagowan)
Around 1728 a "John McIlchonnill" was the miller at "Baligrundale" (Breadalbane Muniments National Archives Scotland, GD112/2/106 No.52) possibly giving further support to the likelihood that the Lismore Connells were indeed members of the "Clann Mhic Gille Chonaill" kindred. This would however only allow for some fifty years, or say two or three generations, for the transformation of McIlchonnel to Connel to have taken place. This perhaps seems somewhat unlikely within a Gaelic speaking community. There are some further difficulties as the Lismore surname Connel might have derived from McConnel / MacDhomhnaill or even from the Lorne place-name Connel / A'Chonghail. Conversely the fact that there were three boat building/carpenter families on Lismore in 1841 with surnames McDonald, at Port Ramsey formerly at Kilcheran and Achnacroish, McIntyre, at Sailean and later at Achnacroish, and Connel at Port Moluag (Baileouchdarach) might suggest that there is less reason to think that the Connels in Lismore were Mac Dhomhnaill and more reason to think that they were Mac Gille Chonaill. The Lismore Connells or na Connallaich, were engaged in boatbuilding into the early years of the twentieth century (2).
It is worth mentioning that in 1635 Mac an t-Saoir, Mac Gille Thomhais and Mac Gille Chonaill shipwrights were all working together building a birlinn for Campbell of Glenorchy. Historically there were other boat-wrights in Argyll and Perthshire, as well as those belonging to the Clann Mhic Gille Chonaill and Clann Mhic Gille Lùcais hereditary shipwright families. Individual boat-wrights whose surnames were, Ure (possibly a Mac Iomhair), Mac an t-Saoir, and Mac Gille Thomhais are mentioned in various Argyll and Perthshire related documents held in the National Archives Scotland.
The surname Mac Gille Chonaill has been transcribed in a great variety of ways however in Perthshire it can be shown to have transformed over time into McIllchonnell and finally to McWhannell. The surname McWhannell has of occasion been believed to derive from Mac Dhomhnaill while Mac Gille Chonaill has been taken to represent Mac Gille Dhomhnaill.
The Clann Mhic Gille Chonaill boatbuilders
The shipbuilding families of the Clann Mhic Gille Chonaill were based on Loch Awe, near Inverawe on Loch Etive and at Dunstaffnage. It would appear that the Mac Gille Chonaill family in their capacity as shipbuilders were associated with the Campbell of Argyll, Campbell of Craignish and Campbell of Glenurquhay (later of Breadalbane) families. Grave slabs (circa 15th century) commemorating what are almost certainly Mac Gille Chonaill shipwrights are located at Kilmarie, Craignish and Inishail, Loch Awe. Both slabs display a typical west highland sword with depressed quillions, a boat with high prow and stern and a shipwrights axe and adze or hammer. The Inishail slab features a helmeted crew and a helmsman who may be wearing a liripipe. The period of the Earldom of Argyll was from 1457 to 1701 and documents exist relating to the boatbuilding activities of members of the Mac Gille Chonaill family during the late seventeenth century and on into the 18th.Century. It is recorded that in 1697 a Mac Gille Chonaill boat-wright was in charge of Breadalbane's "great boat". It might therefore be possible to suggest that members of the kindred also skippered some of Argyll's vessels. As late as 1764 "a retainer John McIlchonnel, a boat-carpenter" is on record at Inveraray. He also served as the town piper and became a burgess of Inveraray. In contrast to the information available on the Clann Mhic Gille Chonaill little has yet been discovered concerning the Clann Mhic Gille Lùcais other than that their shipbuilding activities were located on Loch Fyne and that they continued to build boats for the Dukes of Argyll until around 1780.
The Lismore Connels and other Argyll "Connells"
Presently it is not possible to determine if the Lismore Connels, who are recorded from 1778 to 1961, were or were not related to John McIlchonnill miller at "Baligrundale" in 1728, and whether they do relate to the famous shipbuilding Mac Gille Chonaills. Further progress might be possible if documented information about them for the period between 1728 and 1778 were to be discovered. It is also the case that there are many other persons surnamed "Connell" in the records for Argyll indeed there are currently one hundred and twenty one Connel, eighty eight Connell and two Conell entries plus one Connall entry listed on the I.G.I. data base in relation to Argyll.

CO-OP Encounters #9: KLAYM
by Unseen2 September 04 2018
Unseen CO-OP is back for its second edition. Introduced to increase the representation of artist-run initiatives and collectives worldwide, CO-OP encourages artists to present challenging works of art, dynamic presentations and new commercial formats. In the coming months, we'll be speaking to each of the participating collectives to find out more about the collaborative processes that drive their practice forward.
KLAYM is a boundary-busting collective actively working to promote the work of young photographers in Africa. With an extensive team of photographers, journalists and designers they promote the interface between young African creatives and international audiences. We spoke to co-founder, Flurina Rothenberger, to find out more.
What inspired you to start working as a collective?
The stimulating energy we gain from collaborating with each other, working with people across continents, cultures and beyond one's area of expertise. KLAYM was founded by an economist, photographer and graphic designer. The collective is registered in Switzerland but active and mostly based in Africa, promoting the work of young photographers from there. We also wanted to change an inefficient market situation: editorial clients, aid organisations and other employers wish to increase their work with local African photographers, but effectively many still hire foreign photographers to report on stories on the African continent. There are several reasons for this, some being that the payment process can be cumbersome, and the concept of storytelling is not necessarily a shared one.
If these challenges can be better met, cooperation with local photographers in Africa would be more efficient than booking someone from abroad, i.e. less expensive, local perspectives would be further incorporated into international perceptions, which leads to a broader and more authentic picture of Africa in terms of creativity and content, while local photographers could also be supported economically. We believe that collectives like us, who invest both in showcasing and further training young photographers will create an extremely efficient and exciting market for people on all sides, even if it's not always easy!
How has working as a collective changed the way you interact with the art market?
It has definitely made us more aware of interactions with the art market that can be tapped more efficiently as a collective. Our photographers mainly produce their work where they are based: in Africa. However, the large revenue and expenditure generators in the art market run outside the African continent, with the exception of South Africa. Art fairs are slowly popping up on different continents, including Africa, and some have begun to specialise on locality and the topic of artistic movement within a specific region. This is great, but effectively we think it will take many more years before the art market travels to artists in Africa and not the other way around. This leads to obstacles for our collective, financially but also logistically. Several of KLAYM's members are deprived of actively participating in the international community, discovering new trends, and enjoying the art simply because they don't have the required travel documents nor the funds to bring them to fairs.
As a collective we're stronger in building a cultural interface and getting active as mediators for international co-operations in this field. We are also stronger in raising the funds for travels outside the African continent, for instance, to fairs like Unseen. It's the essence of why we are a collective. In some ways creating KLAYM was also an act to push against a certain ignorance I still oddly experience in several sites of contemporary photography when it comes to "cultural diversity".
What sets you apart from other collectives?
We give much more thought to the perspectives we share with other collectives than to what sets us apart. The idea of knowledge exchange is at the core of KLAYM, also supporting the young photographers among us, so that they can take on corresponding assignments too. It was clear from the beginning that KLAYM did not want to impose preconceived ideas on anyone. This would be ridiculous in the light of the hybridity of all our biographical backgrounds. If we were to develop our activities within our own individual vacuum, decisions would certainly also be taken differently. But inclusivity is at the heart of what we do and working as a collective sometimes also means to sacrifice one's individual opinion for the benefit of others. It never gets boring and KLAYM, as a collective, develops much further in accordance with its multicultural collaborators and their various opinions, perspectives and ambitions.
What do you have in store for us at Unseen Amsterdam 2018?
The Nice Magazine will be on display, the first edition from Pemba, Mozambique, the second edition from Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire and a bunch of zines from the current work on the new Nice issue from Katlehong, a Township close to Johannesburg, South Africa. We'll also be exhibiting a series of works from selected members. A talk will be held addressing the current trends and challenges amongst young photographers from Ivory Coast and South Africa, while the photography duo Kader Diaby & Dadi will tour the site offering street style portraits to visitors, available for purchase in our booth.

Hide Forgot
When building as not-root user it is nice to specify default
attributes for the source rpm (like with %defattr). This patch
adds a new macro %_srcdefattr which can be used for this
Created attachment 100963 [details]
Proposed patch
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Hmm, bugzilla doesn't allow me to change the status away from NEEDINFO. Is
this the intended behaviour?
(Bug status gets changed away from NEEDINFO automatically.)
Is this for the case of determining modes for source files in src.rpm? uid/gid
gets squashed on non-root install of src.rpm so I assume it's just if you sucked
in a src file with unexpected perms (probably umask).
Eg rpmlint complains about 664 based src's in srpms?
It's actually for setting the owner/group. We build our rpms with a special
user "abuild". I a customer installs the src rpm as user root, he will
get a "user abuild does not exist" warning. This is a minor issue, of course.
I think a better fix would be for RPM to just suppress that message for source
Or just automatically make all files in source rpms effectively owned by
"nobody" with mode 644 (and maybe allow 755) -- is there really a case where
anyone would want anything else?
That's exactly what the patch does. One can put _srcdefattr (-,nobody,nobody)
into /usr/lib/rpm/macros and all sources will be owned by nobody. I prefer
(-,root,root) though...
Created attachment 128898 [details]
Fixes security compromise
Please note, that current rpm behavior seriously compromises security on the
machine used to build srpm. Simple ârpm -qplvi 'package-name'â will tell
anyone, who has the package, an existing user name, an existing group name, and
the host name of that machine. You can see that the net is flooded with
complains of those who has encountered typical rpm warning (user/group does not
exists â using root).
Personally, I never build packages as root, but always use root as the only
possible owner of files in srpms. This hasn't caused any problem. If the source
files are owned by root in a srpm, rpm installs them using invoker's uid and
gid. You just to change two line in 'build/files.c'.
I prefer my patch as this is a policy issue and I like to be able to configure
the policy used.
(In reply to comment #10)
> I prefer my patch as this is a policy issue and I like to be able to configure
> the policy used.
It is reasonable, please just add something like (-,root,root) to the default
macro file.
The issue is that your patch has not been incorporated in the distribution, over
a year since it was filed. For all this time sensitive information is released
by people some of whom are not even aware. You may think about raising severity
of your bug.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd.
Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and
either update the target product or close it ?
It is still an issue -devel, i think a %srcdefattr is very usefull anyway.
Please have a look to our issue:
I would like to fix this issue of mock with adding to one mock jailed .macro
file the %srcdefattr macro only, rather than do an ugly hack inside mock. As
remainder mock build in chroot env so its hard to workaround.
What do you think ?
Fedora Core 3 and Fedora Core 4 are no longer supported. If you could retest
this issue on a current release or on the latest development / test version, we
would appreciate that. Otherwise, this bug will be marked as CANTFIX one month
from now. Thanks for your help and for your patience.
still a bug.
Thanks Balint. Yes indeed.
This is now applied to rpm.org tree, will be in rpm 22.214.171.124
Fixed in next rawhide push by rpm 188.8.131.52-rc1

Certain Songs #664: Hüsker Dü – "Up in The Air"
Posted by Jim Connelly in Certain Songs on Sep 29, 2016
Album: Warehouse: Songs and Stories
Year: 1987
With the happy exception of Drive-by Truckers (who have a new album coming out tomorrow!) (that I'm not going to get to buy for a week cos I'm on vacation in Maui) (yeah, I know, poor me), bands with multiple front men tend to dissolve into acrimonious competition.
And so, as it went with The Beatles and The Eagles before them, and Uncle Tupelo and Pixies after them, the competition between Bob Mould and Grant Hart proved too much, and Warehouse: Songs and Stories — the only album of theirs that I think had a clear winner — proved to be the final Hüsker Dü record.

Purpose of this paper is to give familiarization to people about smart device of type "great idea" (tested by satisfied users).
Try to build very simple remote control of your computer. Computer control is possible with arbitrary infrared remote control (e.g. to TV, VCR, CD, ...). Here introduced scheme is 100% functionable. At design of remote control I accentuate for maximum simplicity of hardware and transfer all intelligence to service software.
On internet is possible to find miscellaneous construction of remote control of computer. Many of them is solved with using of microcontroller (PIC, Atmel), which decode received code from IR-control and transmit it to the computer. Disadvantage of this design is small flexibility when problem happens with atypical remote control code (codes transmitted from IR-controls is not standardized: every manufacturer have its own - although there exists quasi-standards like as RC5, RECS-80, NEC). And this "exotic" remote controls are worldwided. At that time there is need for software update in microcontroler, what is difficult for "common" user (necessity of knowledge of programming mikroconrolers and technical devices - programmers). Other disadvantage is higher price of hardware too.
In my design is hardware very simple and cheap (cca 1US$). All intelligence is made by service software. When problem will happen with atypical code of IR-control then is enough upgrade of software, what every user know sure (download from internet site).
As service software for remotes I choose Girder. It is very good multilanguage program, and as one of few is freeware. It has well-solved support of software and hardware plugins. Therefore I have created my own plugin to Girder, which communicate with hardware part of remote control. Program Girder and my plugin you can obtain in downloased section.
At the next picture is schematic of hardware:
or with another type of sensors:
Attention! According to users experiences: Increasing of R1 to value up to 10k may increase receiving sensitivity - using this type of sensors (SFH5110 and SFH5111).
Or in case of problems schematic with better receiving sensitivity.And here is figure of its physical image (it is very simple):
And here is in details more pictures (cca180kB).
Don't see to its simplicity. Only plug it into the serial port of computer and execute Girder. In configuration of hardware plugins there is necessary to choose "IgorSFH-56 device" and set correct COM port.
In case of your interest you can see here more details about plugin settings.
Sensitivity of receiver is fine. Even if the receiver is plugged directly in serial port on computer back side (which is below the table), is receiving marvelous good (comparison with TV). In choice of sensor frequency (xx in schematic) is necessary to respect matching frequency of IR-transmitter with used receiver. But this choice is not critical: e.g. sensors for 36kHz (SFH56-36; TSOP1736) receive with sufficient sensitivity transmitters at 38kHz too (but 40kHz too). The best way is choosing receiver at 38kHz (SFH56-38; TSOP1738), which are receiving with good sensitivity all remote controls.
Most of remote controls operate at 38kHz, some at 36kHz and some (mostly Sony) at 40kHz.
There is appropriate to read Girder's help (exist in several languages) .
Description of function:
Circuit uses integrated infrared receiver used for receiving of modulated signal. This chip contains circuits needed for receiving and demodulation of infrared signal. From its output goes only pure digital signal (envelope curve of amplitude modulated transmitted signal). Available are receivers of types SFH56-xx a TSOP17xx (tested). Chips SFH56-xx are only in bargain sale (end of production). Number "xx" mean used frequency for receiving. The persons concerned about details of this chips, they can find it in datasheets on internet.
Integrated circuit is supplied directly from computer serial port - from pin RTS. Stabilization of voltage to 5V makes Zener diode D1. It is without limiting resistor, because it used fact, that serial port has current limiting cca 10mA. In first version was used limiting resistor, but there was problem with insufficient voltage in case of notebooks using. In notebooks are signal levels about +/-6V and voltage loss on resistor causes receiving unreliability (same reason is impossibility to use stabilization with circuits of type 7805, which have min. voltage loss about 2V).
Capacitor C1 is for filtration (flow peaks). Resistor R1 is pull-up according to recommendation of manufacturer of TSOP17xx. Output of receiver is connected to signal DSR of serial port, where is software decoded.
Service driver is designed as plug-in module "IgorPlug.dll" in program Girder, to which it send received code. Girder in the next executes function, which was choosed. Assigning of transmitted code to given action is going through so-called learning by following: In program Girder we create given action and then we push button "Learn Event" (see figure). In the next we push button on IR-control, transmitted code is received and assign to given action. Functionality of action we test by pushing the same button on remote control.
Possible replacements of IR detector (in order of its applicability):
TSOP1738, TSOP1138, TSOP2138, SFH56-38 (end of production), SFH506-38, SFH5110-38 (need to use schematic with improved receiving sensitivity).
(Attention! some sensors have pins connected in another order - sensors in small packages)
Dealers in Slovakia (none promotion - only for Yours help): Nedis (cash on delivery too), SOS (through internet too), GM Electronic (try ?), 3Q Service
Practical applications:
The greatest domain of remote control application is certainly comfortable control PC and in PC add-on devices: TV and radio cards, CD, DVD, WinAmp ... For this purpose was this device developed and mostly used too (who isn't lazy for get up and go to computer, in which just now is going movie?)
But good property of all programs of type Girder is possibility to transfer application which was written only for user interface by mouse and keyboard in to environment of industry automatization. For example Girder makes possible remote controlling through TCP/IP network too. There is possible to choice communication medium and then reduce the protocol as we need. After this manner we obtain computer with powerful software, which is located at controlled place of work, but its control may be done from another place and especially with more simple hardware (reduced keyboard or microcontroller). From software point of view is only necessary to assign to external commands theirs competent actions on PC (key pushing, mouse movement and clicking, executing program etc.). So program, which wasn't dedicated for example for its controlling through RS232 will become by this manner externally controlled. Requirement is only using of operating system Windows (but there are versions and projects for Linux too).
Space for another applications I let for readers, but there are many : types of security systems of buildings , controlling on out-of-reach places by embedded PCs , wireless extension of control etc.
Action definition in Girder:
Here I present very good internet links, where is good description and technique of command definition, eventually already finished command groups:
- possible download already defined actions to Girder (here you are - only select):
- very asked control of WinAmp:
or http://www.girder.nl/exports/winamp271.gxr
- control of Windows Media Player:
- Common control of Windows98:
And for people who want some to create by ourselves:
- fine explanation of Windows control principle is on pages of Jan Rehak (Czech language),
where are another interesting links (for example: controlling of all PC )
- good is read too czech help from David Pribyl (for Czech and Slovak users)
And at address http://www.girder.nl/links.php are good links relevant to Girder and PC control by IR remote control.

Problems solution:
Command is executed not only once: Some RC transmit code repeatedly with delay ones to tens milliseconds. In this case only adjust in Girder for this command in box "Antirepeat wait time" value about 100 ms (according to your button speed dropping).
Command is not executed repeatedly when key on RC is press: Then is necessary button on RC pressing and unpressing (not to let pressed). It is mistake of RC, because some RC tramsmit another code at first pressing and another code at long pressing (autorepeat has different code - usually smaller) - from version 0.75 and up is already autorepeat fully functional for most RC !
Code receiving is unreliable (different code at the same button press): Try to come near to receiver. If problem was then removed by this procedure, mistake is in matching frequency of transmitter and receiver or transmitter power is small - in this case is better the receiver move to the front (to direct visibility). If problem remains is possible, that on computer is running software, which usage processor at 100% (typically some 16-bit programs) and there is not enough time for service of code receiving. Look at processor usage and close program, which uses system, eventually try to reduce priority of some program (typically WinAmp on slow computers). If you now are browsing internet through local modem, then is receiving limited (see next section: "Mistakes to the present time"). This problem was removed use version above 1.06. But is necessary to turn on "Allow Ring0 priority" and set"Priority" to 7 or 8.
Another mistakes: Write to me description of mistake. In plugin configuration turn on service mode and then transmit some codes from RC. In directory"/Girder" will be created file "log.txt" , which you send to me by e-mail together with error description. I try to repair yours problem - wait for a new plugin version at this site. Note.: Data are only adding to the file, therefore if you want you can delete file (manually) and then update data in file by next button pressing on RC. Service mode is after program start always turned off - it not remains turned on if you are not turn it off.
Mistakes to the present time:
Windows shutdown problem: Using Girder's command for Windows shutdown happens that Girder freezes. Use following procedure to shutdown computer:
Instead of using simple "Shutdown" command in Girder use before this command "Disable device" (in sheet Girder), and put this commands into MultiGroup command..
Control problem in case of modem using: Code receiving is uncertain in case of using device, which uses driver for serial port. This situation can be for example during connecting to internet if you use local modem (including internal modem), or when you move fast mouse (but who will be to control PC by RC if you are browsing). In plugin settings switch "Priority level" to 7 and switch on "Allow Ring0 priority".
Problematic applications: Code receiving is uncertain if on computer is running program, which uses 100% processor time or is sensitive to speed: teletext, multimedia (video, MP3). Then there depends at processor speed, but control is possible with some breaks from above Pentium 120MHz (may be less too).
Some applications use drivers, which periodically in short intervals (periodically cca 50 milliseconds) take control of system (interrupt is about ones of milliseconds) and by this they lock during this interrupt code receiving. At that time happens in code change in several bits (during this some milliseconds), but periodically at another part of code, then the code looks as different at another times. Problem of this type is solvable only by adjusting problematic application - if is this possible. (Driver is running at system kernel level and it is not possible "decrease" its priority.) But : This problem was removed - use version 1.06 (and higher). In plugin settings switch "Priority level" to 7 and switch on "Allow Ring0 priority".
- Is possible to use IrDA port to receive signal from remote? No!!! This is impossible. IrDA is designed for data transfer and is incompatible (HW and SW) with standard remote controls used in electronic devices
- Is possible to use USB to COM adapter for serial receiver? No!!! USB is in this application too slow! Believe me. USB response is cca 1ms and the signal changes from remotes are also below 0.2ms. Therefore I have developed USB receiver IgorPlug-USB (AVR).
- Received code is always 0000. Why? In plugin above version 3.0 is implemented new serial receiver schematic. You must connect pin1 and pin3 on COM connector together. Or next solution is to use plugin below version 3.0 (only for serial receiver).
- Girder says that there is incompatible plugin. Don't copy file "IgorUSB.dll" into plugins directory. This file is not plugin, this is driver library for USB receiver. Don't touch this file.
Tested on operating systems:
- Windows95, Windows98, WindowsME, Windows2000, Windows XP
- Girder run on Windows NT too - but remove another plugins (*.dll files), which are showed in opening error messages
(my plugin is functional)
- I have developed also version for DOS - DOSGir :
- appropriate for embedded systems (MP3 players based on old computers)
- simulation of keyboard pressing (in future eventually mouse moving)
- my own Girder
Hardware requirements:
- minimal tested configuration : Intel486 66MHz, 8MB RAM (works fine); Intel486 33MHz, 8MB RAM (not now works!!!)
- maximal tested configuration : Intel Pentium4 3.4GHz, 1024MB RAM ; AMD Athlon XP 3500+ 1034MB RAM
- if you have experience out of above ranges (faster/slower frequencies) let me now by e-mail.

Second day was Monday, which for me started with watching the morning keynotes from the hotel / webcast; the involved persons aren't the most engaging presenters, especially Charles Phillips. And no really new news either.
Monday turned out to be my big Identity Management day, with sessions on
- Identity Services in the Cloud
- Oracle Identity Manager & Oracle Role Manager 11g
- Oracle Access Manager 11g
One good Hands-on-Lab as well, on a product I've been following for a while, the Oracle E-Business Suite Application Change Management Pack (ACP). I know of several E-Business customers back home in Norway who don't really have good control over their customizations.
It would probably pay back quickly for a lot of these, to package their customizations as standard patches, and optionally manage them with the builtin ACP patch manager, integrated with a source control system.
A couple of sessions I've noted down for flipping through later:
S312645 Database performance on Linux
S308361 High performance PL/SQL
S312448 + S312449 SQL Developer
S312693 Database 11g in virtualized storage
And I met Marius Ciortea from Oracle (who works with Enterprise Social Networking) in the OTN Lounge, and I agreed (not naively, I hope) to a short attendee interview for the live OTN feed on

Furniture Rental
Here at Bradbeers, we have experience in renting furniture to relocation businesses, letting agents, HR specialists, and even film companies.
Why rent furniture?
Renting furniture for temporary accommodation is much cheaper than alternatives e.g. renting a hotel room for an extended period, or buying all new furniture for a rented property. Compared to these, renting unfurnished accommodation as well as furniture to go in it is much cheaper.
This can also be a preferred option for landlords and house-sellers. For landlords, you can quickly furnish empty property, making it look better as well as suiting the quality to the accommodation for a reasonable price. For house-sellers, home staging with hired furniture can enhance a property making it more desirable.
Whatever your requirements, we offer:
- High quality furniture
- Easy and professional delivery, installation and removal
- Competitive prices
- Monthly payments, no big up front costs
