Passing reference in 'Argo' rankles New Zealand
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Thirteen minutes into the Oscar-winning movie "Argo," CIA agent Tony Mendez asks supervisor Jack O'Donnell what happened to a group of Americans when the U.S. Embassy was stormed in Tehran.
"The six of them went out a back exit," O'Donnell tells Mendez, played by Ben Affleck. "Brits turned them away. Kiwis turned them away. Canadians took them in."
That passing reference to New Zealand is rankling Kiwis five months after "Argo" was released in the South Pacific nation. Even Parliament has expressed its dismay, passing a motion stating that Affleck, who also directed the film, "saw fit to mislead the world about what actually happened."
New Zealand joins other countries, including Iran and Canada, that have felt offended by the fictionalized account of how the six Americans were sheltered and secreted out of Iran during the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The strong reaction in New Zealand indicates the country remains insecure about its own culture, said Steve Matthewman, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Auckland. People are prone to bouts of unwarranted outrage when somebody from abroad says something bad about the country, he said, and simpering enjoyment when they say something good.
"It's touched a really raw nerve," Matthewman said. "We do seem in New Zealand to be oversensitive to how the rest of the world perceives us."
The movie's New Zealand reference may not be totally fair but has an element of truth.
Some in New Zealand have taken those words — "Kiwis turned them away" — as implying the country did nothing to help.
In fact, a U.S. State Department document dated Feb. 6, 1980, says "four Embassies — Canadians, British, Swedish and New Zealand — were involved in their protection and escape." The document was posted online last fall by the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum.
And published interviews indicate diplomats from Britain and New Zealand did help by briefly sheltering the Americans, visiting them and bringing them food, even driving them to the airport when they left.
Yet those interviews also indicate that both countries considered it too risky to shelter the Americans for long. That left the Canadians shouldering the biggest risk by taking them in.
Lawmaker Winston Peters, who brought last week's uncontested motion before Parliament, said New Zealanders are unfairly portrayed as "a bunch of cowards," an impression that would be given to millions who watch the movie.
"It's a diabolical misrepresentation of the acts of courage and bravery, done at significant risk to themselves, by New Zealand diplomats," he said.
Affleck could not be reached for comment this week.
During Oscar media interviews last month, Affleck told reporters: "Let me just start by saying I love New Zealand, and I love New Zealanders." He added that "I think that it's tricky. You walk a fine line. You are doing a historical movie and naturally you have to make some creative choices about how you are going to condense this into a three-act structure."
But Affleck and his screenwriter, Chris Terrio, who won the adapted screenplay Oscar, did catch some flak from critics for taking major liberties, especially a heart-stopping — but fictional — airport finale that had gun-wielding Iranian Revolutionary Guards chasing the Swissair plane down the tarmac, with the plane lifting off just in the nick of time. (In reality, the airport exit went smoothly.)
And after the film was made, Affleck took the step of changing the film's postscript, the Toronto Star reported, to more generously credit Canada and its ambassador at the time, Ken Taylor, who protected the Americans at huge personal risk and was uncomfortable with some details in the film.
"Argo" was not the only Oscar-nominated film this year to be criticized for factual issues.
Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" came under fire for its depictions of interrogations. A group of senators charged that the film misled viewers for suggesting that torture provided information that helped the CIA find Osama bin Laden.
Even Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," with its rich attention to historically accurate detail, was criticized for its inaccurate depiction of the Connecticut delegation's vote on the 13th amendment outlawing slavery. The film's Pulitzer-winning screenwriter, Tony Kushner, said he'd changed the details for dramatic effect.
Matthewman, the sociology professor, said the line in Argo may have provoked New Zealanders because the country prides itself on being generous and hospitable. People have a reputation for doing things like picking up hitchhikers and inviting them into their homes for a week, he said.
Small countries like New Zealand that are far from the world's centers of power are often shaped by bigger countries like the U.S. and often look to them for affirmation, Matthewman said. It's interesting to note the different reaction Affleck got in Britain, Matthewman said, which was arguably equally maligned in the movie.
"They give the guy a BAFTA in Britain and bash him in New Zealand," he said, referring to the best director prize Affleck won at the British Academy Film Awards.
Some in Britain, however, have criticized "Argo's" reference to that country, and some in Canada are upset the CIA gets credit at the expense of the Canadians, a claim backed by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. And Iran is planning to sue Hollywood for the movie's alleged "unrealistic portrayal" of that country, according to Iranian media reports.
Yet while Iran and Canada are central parts of the movie, the New Zealand reference could easily be missed — at least by outsiders.
Patrick Gower, the political editor for TV3, one of two main television news stations in New Zealand, wrote in a blog that Affleck should apologize after he "deliberately slammed" the country.
"Some people will say I'm being oversensitive here," he wrote. "But in my opinion, what Affleck has done just isn't right."
The controversy was not reflected in box-office receipts. "Argo" has done well in New Zealand, earning just over $1 million. As of this week, the film has earned $92.3 million internationally and $135 million in North America.
National carrier Air New Zealand has even extended an olive branch to Affleck by offering to fly him to the country as its guest. Airline spokeswoman Marie Hosking said this week it has yet to hear back from him.
Prime Minister John Key, meanwhile, has tried to sound a note of reason.
"New Zealand, I think, sees itself as a country that always wants to lend a hand to help people," he told reporters recently. "But in the end, this is Hollywood, and they do make movies. And a bit like when they transfer a book to a movie, often it's a little bit different. So, look, I think we've made our point and we should probably move on."
But the country doesn't seem ready to move on quite yet.

In Hinduism, each day in a week is dedicated to a particular god in the Hindu pantheon. Thursday, which is Brihaspatiwar or Vrihaspativar, is dedicated to Vishnu and Brihaspati, the Guru of Devas. Thurdsay is also popularly known as Gurubar or Guruvar. Yellow is the color of the day. A fast is observed on the day and food is consumed only once. In some areas, people make it a point to visit Hanuman Temple on Thursdays.
There are numerous stories associated with the reason for observing Upvaas, or fast, on Brihaspativar. Many of the stories are part of local folklore and stories vary from region to region.
Almost all stories suggest that those who perform pujas and Vrats on Thursdays will be blessed with wealth and happy life. In some stories, Lord Vishnu appears in the guise of a Sadhu to test the devotees on Thursdays.
In other stories, it is Brihaspati. First the person in the story denies alms and is lethargic but later realizes his/her mistake and observes Thursday Vrat and pleases the Gods.
Those devotees fasting on the day wears yellow colored dress and offers yellow colored fruits and flowers to Vishnu and Brihaspati. Food is only consumed once and includes Chana Dal (Bengal Gram) and ghee. Basically, yellow colored food is eaten on the day.
In some regions, banana or plantain is worshipped and watered.

At least 200 refugees, mostly women and children, have drowned in South Sudan after a ferry sank as they were trying to cross the Nile River to escape fighting near the northern town of Malakal.
Army spokesman Col. Philip Aguer said the group was in an "overloaded" boat. The New York Times, which places the number of dead at between 200 and 300, reports that it is the worst such ferry accident to date as tens of thousands of residents have sought refuge.
"They all drowned. They were fleeing the fighting that broke out again in Malakal," he added.
The United Nations estimates that more than 350,000 people have been displaced in the conflict between the South Sudanese government and rebel forces.
"Thousands of civilians have been trying to escape the clashes by crossing the river, but many say they simply cannot afford to pay for a boat, says the BBC's Andrew Harding in South Sudan."
"One refugee, Akuch, told our correspondent that she had had to borrow as much as 150 Sudanese pounds (£40; $66) to cross the river."
"Some 9,000 civilians have recently arrived at a UN base in Malakal, almost doubling the number of people seeking shelter there, our correspondent says."
"We all assume that the humanitarian situation will get worse. There are new people displaced," Jose Barahona, country director in South Sudan for Oxfam, tells the Times.
"Due to the uncertainty of military operations, we have been deploying and evacuating people the whole time," said Mr. Barahona. "There are very few places in the country where we can actually go."

Lee MacPhail, the longtime baseball executive who ruled in the celebrated Pine Tar case and later became part of the only father-son Hall of Fame pairing, has died. He was 95.
He was the oldest Hall of Famer, and he died Thursday night at his home in Delray Beach, Fla., the shrine said Friday.
"There's not much I haven't done off the field other than commissioner," he said during a 1985 interview with The Associated Press when he retired after 4 1-2 decades in the sport.
In the second generation of one of baseball's most foremost families — his son, Andy, also was in the front office for several teams — MacPhail's most well-known moment in baseball came in 1983. He upheld Kansas City's protest in the Pine Tar Game against the New York Yankees, restoring a ninth-inning home run to Royals slugger George Brett — also a future Hall of Famer.
"Lee MacPhail was one of the great executives in baseball history and a Hall of Famer in every sense, both personally and professionally," Commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement. "His hallmarks were dignity, common sense and humility. He was not only a remarkable league executive, but was a true baseball man."
With MacPhail's death, Bobby Doerr at 94 becomes the oldest living Hall of Famer.
"Baseball history has lost a great figure in Lee MacPhail, whose significant impact on the game spanned five decades," Hall chairman Jane Forbes Clark said. "He will always be remembered in Cooperstown as a man of exemplary kindness and a man who always looked after the best interests of the game."
Lee MacPhail was the son of Larry MacPhail, a top executive with the Cincinnati Reds, Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees.
Born Leland Stanford MacPhail Jr. in Nashville, Tenn., on Oct. 25, 1917, he was general manager at minor league Reading, went on to work for the Yankees in 1949 and spent a decade as farm director and player personnel director, with players he developed winning seven World Series titles.
He moved to the Baltimore Orioles as general manager in 1959 and six years later returned to New York as chief administrative assistant for new baseball Commissioner Spike Eckert. He returned to the Yankees as general manager from 1967-73, and left after George Steinbrenner bought the team to become AL president in 1974.
A member of management's labor negotiating team along with NL President Chub Feeney during the 1981 midseason strike, he also headed the AL when it added the designated hitter for the 1973 season and expanded to Seattle and Toronto for 1977.
After he stepped down as league president following the 1983 season, he served two years as president of the owners' Player Relations Committee, overseeing bargaining during a two-day strike in 1985. He was elected to the Hall as an executive in 1998, 20 years after his father.
In the famed Pine Tar case, MacPhail overruled plate umpire Tim McClelland and crew chief Joe Brinkman and restored a home run to Brett. After Yankees manager Billy Martin argued that Brett's bat had excessive pine tar when he hit a two-run, ninth-inning homer at Yankees Stadium on July 24, McClelland called Brett out, the final out in a 4-3 New York victory.
Brett stormed out of the dugout, eyes bulging, in one of baseball's most replayed arguments. Four days later, MacPhail upheld a protest for the first time as league president, said the home run counted and ordered the game to continue from that point. When the game was completed Aug. 18, the Royals held on to win 5-4.
While the pine tar extended more than 18 inches past the handle, the limit set by baseball's rules, MacPhail said taking away the home run was improper.
"The umpires' interpretation, while technically defensible, is not in accord with the intent or spirit of the rules and that the rules do not provide that a hitter be called out for excessive use of pine tar. The rules provide instead that the bat be removed from the game," he wrote. "Although manager Martin and his staff should be commended for their alertness, it is the strong conviction of the league that games should be won and lost on the playing field — not through technicalities of the rules."
He retired at the end of that season.
Son Andy became GM of the Minnesota Twins, president of the Chicago Cubs and president of baseball operations of the Orioles. From the next generation, Andy MacPhail IV worked for the Cleveland Indians and is a scout for the Orioles.
The Hall said no services are planned and a memorial will be held later.

The White House is downplaying its draft proposal as merely a backup plan if lawmakers don't come up with an immigration overhaul of their own. It won't be necessary, Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike are telling the Obama administration.
White House chief of staff Denis McDonough said Sunday that President Barack Obama wants to "be prepared" in case the small bipartisan group of senators fails to devise a plan for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States. In response, lawmakers assured the White House they are working on their own plan — and warned that Obama would be heading toward failure if the White House gets ahead of them.
"We will be prepared with our own plan if these ongoing talks between Republicans and Democrats up on Capitol Hill break down," McDonough said, adding he's optimistic they would not crumble.
But he was equally realistic about the fierce partisanship on Capitol Hill.
"Well, let's make sure that it doesn't have to be proposed," McDonough said of the president's pitch, first reported on USA Today's website late Saturday.
Even so, the administration is moving forward on its own immigration agenda should one of Obama's top priorities get derailed.
The administration's proposal would create a visa for those in the country illegally and allow them to become legal permanent residents within eight years. The proposal also requires businesses to know the immigration status of their workers and adds more funding for border security.
It drew immediate criticism from Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., one of the eight lawmakers searching for a comprehensive plan.
"If actually proposed, the president's bill would be dead on arrival in Congress, leaving us with unsecured borders and a broken legal immigration system for years to come," said Rubio, who has been a leading GOP spokesman on immigration.
Many of the details in the administration's draft proposal follow the broad principles that Obama previously outlined. But the fact the administration is writing its own alternative signaled Obama wants to address immigration sooner rather than later and perhaps was looking to nudge lawmakers to move more quickly.
The tactic could complicate the administration's work with Congress.
Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin lawmaker who was his party's vice presidential nominee last year, said the timing of the leak suggests the White House was looking for "a partisan advantage and not a bipartisan solution."
"Leaking this out does set things in the wrong direction," said Ryan. "There are groups in the House and the Senate working together to get this done and when he does things like this, it makes that much more difficult to do that."
Freshman Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, called the leaked plan "incomplete" and said both parties in Congress and the White House need to work together on a solution.
"It hasn't happened yet. It will happen before something is acted upon and certainly before something is passed," he said.
Republican Sen. John McCain predicted the administration's efforts would come up short if the White House went forward with a proposal, and he encouraged the White House to give senators a chance to finish their work.
McCain, the Arizona senator whose previous efforts at an immigration overhaul ended in failure in 2007, predicted the White House proposal's demise if it were sent to Congress. He strongly urged the president to pocket the drafted measures.
"I believe we are making progress in a bipartisan basis," said McCain, who is in the Senate group working on legislation.
And Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, who met with Obama on Wednesday at the White House to discuss progress, urged his allies in the administration to give a bipartisan group of eight lawmakers the time to hammer out a deal on their own.
Schumer, a New York Democrat and a close ally of the White House, said he has not seen the draft proposals but, along with the Democrats working on a compromise, met with Obama this week to talk about progress being made on Capitol Hill.
Schumer acknowledged that a single-party proposal would have a much more difficult time becoming law and urged the bipartisan group of senators to keep meeting to find common ground.
"I am very hopeful that in March we will have a bipartisan bill," Schumer said. "And, you know, it's obvious if a Democrat — the president or anyone else — puts out what they want on their own, (it) is going to be different than when you have a bipartisan agreement. But the only way we're going to get something done is with a bipartisan agreement."
McDonough appeared on ABC's "This Week," NBC's "Meet the Press" and CBS' "Face the Nation." Ryan and Castro spoke to "This Week." McCain spoke to "Meet the Press." Schumer appeared on CNN's "State of the Union."

"I can't imagine the energy that's gonna be in the crowd there for us, and I just hope to be able to put a great show on for everybody and obviously come out on top." - Sean Pierson
Some fighters say that being in the UFC Octagon for the first time makes you feel like your heart just stopped. Sean Pierson felt like his was beating out of his chest.
"In that first round, I came out and was like 'let's fight, it's go time,' and that's usually my style," said Pierson of his UFC debut againstMatthew Riddle last December. "But after the first round, my heart rate was going 300 kilometers an hour still and I'm not calming down. Three quarters of the way through the second round, I said I better start pacing myself because Matt is not gonna be an easy guy to put away, and his cardio looks like it's doing pretty well here."
Yet there was little let-up from the Ontario native during his action-packed three rounder against Riddle, and that's not surprising, especially when fans at Montreal's Bell Centre started getting behind their fellow Canadian.
"Midway through the second round, I could hear my name being chanted throughout the arena. That was a crazy feeling. It took a second to realize that 'oh, they're chanting my name.'"
Hollywood couldn't have written a better script for that night in Quebec, as the local hero does good on the big stage after over a decade of blood, sweat, and tears waiting for his opportunity. Sean Pierson was finally a UFC fighter, and with his three round unanimous decision win over Riddle (one that UFC President Dana White believed was the best on the UFC 124 card), he guaranteed that he would remain one.
Needless to say, the crowd cheered on.
"At the end of the fight, when me and Riddle shook hands, I could see that we were getting a standing ovation, and to know that that many people appreciated what you just did or how you just performed in the Octagon is an amazing feeling," said Pierson. "If that was my only fight and last fight ever, I would have been satisfied and I wouldn't have given it away for anything."
That wasn't Pierson's last fight, and if anything, it gets better, as he will fight on this Saturday's UFC 129 card in his hometown of Toronto. After 12 years as a pro, it will be his first fight ever in his home province, and it's in front of a record crowd of 55,000 to boot.
"Obviously I think about it, and then I think 'how do you even prepare yourself for that?'" he asks. "I couldn't even prepare myself for the UFC in Montreal. As much as I thought about what it would look like, when you get out there, it's different. The crowd's crazy, they're loud, they're cheering for you and maybe being my first fight it was a little more difficult, but I just got excited and thought 'this is amazing.' Now in my hometown, I know personally thousands of people that are gonna be there, so I can't imagine the energy that's gonna be in the crowd there for us, and I just hope to be able to put a great show on for everybody and obviously come out on top. It's gonna be a great experience for everybody involved."
And an emotional one for the 35 year old, who has seen the good times, bad times, bright lights and dark days since he turned pro with a first round TKO win over Steve Vigneault in October of 1999. Back then, Pierson just assumed that the sport that he loved would soon be sanctioned in his home province. But it was far from that easy.
"When I started 12 years ago, I thought it would be three or four years and for sure Ontario would have it," he said. "12 years later and it's finally here. There were a lot of hoops that everybody jumped through, but again, you can't look back; you just look to the future and say 'it's here now, let's put on great shows and show Ontario why it's here and it's here to stay.'"
It's as optimistic as spin as you can put on the situation, but it's really the only way to approach it. Pierson can't go back in time and get the sport sanctioned and see where it takes him. He can only deal with today and then tomorrow. And with that kind of attitude, it made it easier for him to accept the news that his original UFC 129 opponent, Brian Foster, was being removed from the bout for medical reasons and that highly-regarded Jake Ellenberger was stepping in on short notice.
"I could lie and say it doesn't throw a monkey wrench into things, but it definitely does," he admits. "I'm training no matter what; that's a given. But we put gameplans together and my training is specifically for a certain kind of fighter. Now when I get a new opponent, those strengths and weaknesses might change. A lot of little things can flip on you when you change opponents, but again, it's the fight game and I just gotta keep training as I do and move forward. We'll just strategize and come up with something new."
Luckily, he's not training with a bunch of weekend warriors at the local gym. He's at the renowned Tristar Gym, home to UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and a seemingly never ending cast of world-class coaches and fighters. As an example, a Twitter post from Pierson a couple weeks back talked about his day of sparring, which included rounds with St-Pierre, rising star Rory MacDonald, and veterans David Loiseau and Denis Kang. Now that's a day of work or torture, depending on how the rounds go.
"When you first look at the rounds, you're like 'oh, this is nice,'" laughs Pierson. "I think it was Rory first, then we had a K-1 kickboxer with me second, and then Georges third, and I'm saying 'there are no easy rounds here. When am I getting my break?' (Laughs) But it's great because after you're done, especially if they're competitive rounds, you say if I can hang with these guys, I could hang with anybody. It's really a good confidence booster and we learn a lot from each other."
What Pierson doesn't need to work on, and that's because he already has it built in him, is the type of class that is prevalent among the competitors in the mixed martial arts community. For all the talk over the years of this being a violent sport occupied by those craving such activity, the truth is that the fighters in MMA are just like any other pro athletes – the craving is for the competition that the sport provides, not a desire to hurt anybody. It's why, when Pierson heard of Foster's withdrawal from their bout, the first call he made was to the man he was scheduled to throw punches with to offer his condolences and wish him the best for a speedy recovery.
"I've been saying it for years – I don't fight, I compete," said Pierson. "I just compete against my opponent and in no way want to make it where he can't support his family and do what he loves to do. I have no ill intent toward my opponent other than me trying to win the fight. Whether that's by knockout, submission, or decision, I'm just in there to compete and show off my skills the best I can and at the end of the fight I just want to shake hands, meet the guy afterward and say 'great job, good luck with your next one.'"
Sean Pierson's "next one" is this Saturday. And if his heart doesn't beat out of his chest in excitement, expect him to use every ounce of it to deliver the win he's been waiting to produce for 12 years.

Should I wash my new toy before using it? Yes please do. Although I do in fact wash every toy once its been removed from the mold, it is a good idea to wash your toy thoroughly before its first use. Make use of hot water and anti-bacterial hand soap, boiling water, bleach and water (do not boil bleach and water), even a dishwasher (no detergent). After cleaning, rinse the toy thoroughly and let it air dry. Silicone is sticky and paper/cloth towel fibers, hair, pet hair, and dust etc. will adhere to the surface.
Absolutely Skin Safe. Uberrime Adult Toys are made with SmoothOn Platinum Silicone either Ecoflex™ and or Dragon Skin® I quote, "Cured material is skin safe and certified by an independent laboratory to ISO 10993-10, Biological evaluation of medical devices, Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization." Uberrime Items are always Phthalates Free. Platinum Silicone can be sanitized making it the perfect material for these toys.

Water based lubricants are the best for the longevity of your toy and mostly found to be body safe. Avoid, DO NOT, use Silicone based lubricant as it can and will damage the surface and finish of cured silicone and the toy may become unsafe for use. Natural oils such as coconut oil are completely safe for use with silicone toys.
Uberrime Dildos can vary widely in density based on the model from soft and squishy shore 0050 to a medium firm shore 10a to very firm shore 20a. Generally the larger and fantasy toys are made with softer silicone, where more slender toys or toys designed for specific pressure such as G or P Spot are made with slightly firmer, or medium density silicone. Butt plugs and targeting toys are made with firm silicone. A definitive guide to shore density can be found here:
Written by Felicity, a sex toy blogger who has over 30 Uberrime toys and hundreds more.
Long answer short, silicone is in fact porous at the molecular level. The surface of silicone sex toys may appear smooth but there are microscopic holes that will trap smelly gas via osmosis in Items such as butt plugs or other platinum silicone toys used for anal play. All silicone toys may in fact retain an odor after such use. To eliminate the odor first try soaking the toy in a 10% water and bleach solution. If the odor persists, simply place the toy in an oven set to 350º for about ten minutes. This will in fact do the trick. Wash the toy afterward and you are all set.
*Please note, that the oven method may in fact delaminate dual or triple density toys.

New toilet technology after 150 years of waste (Update)
(AP) — These aren't your typical loos. One uses microwave energy to transform human waste into electricity. Another captures urine and uses it for flushing. And still another turns excrement into charcoal.
They are part of a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation competition to reinvent the toilet for the 2.5 billion people around the world who don't have access to modern sanitation.
Scientists from around the world have taken up the challenge, and the foundation announced some projects Tuesday that will be getting more money to take their ideas from the lab to cities.
There, local entrepreneurs will use the new technology to turn pollution into cash.
"We couldn't be happier with the response that we've gotten," Bill Gates said.
To pass the foundation's threshold for the world's next toilet, it must operate without running water, electricity or a septic system, not discharge pollutants, preferably capture energy or other resources, and operate at a cost of 5 cents a day.
The United Nations estimates disease caused by unsafe sanitation results in about half the hospitalizations in the developing world. About 1.5 million children die each year from diarrheal disease.
Scientists believe most of these deaths could be prevented with proper sanitation, along with safe drinking water and improved hygiene.
The foundation expects to field test its first prototypes within the next three years.
Most of the prototypes on display this week in the open courtyard of the foundation's Seattle headquarters turn solid waste into energy. This is both a practical and pragmatic solution to the solid waste puzzle, said Carl Hensman, program officer for the foundation's water, sanitation and hygiene team.
Many recycle waste into other usable substances such as animal feed, water for irrigation, or even just energy and water to run their own systems.
Some, like the winning project from Caltech, use chemistry and engineering to completely transform the waste.
Clement Cid, a Caltech grad student from Trouillas, France, said it has been intellectually rewarding to work with scientists from a variety of specialties.
"You can come up with great ideas," he said, adding that the toilet fair offered more opportunities for idea sharing.
Other projects on display were not so high-tech, including one from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine that sends black soldier fly larvae inside latrines and even home toilets to process waste, resulting in high quality, environmentally friendly animal feed at a cost of a penny a day.
The fly larvae project is already being field tested in Cape Town, South Africa, and the inventors are working on a kit to sell to entrepreneurs. They have had inquiries from Haiti, Sudan, Kenya and Ghana about adopting the approach.
"At the end of the day it will look very low-tech, but there's a lot of science behind it," said Walter Gibson, a medical biochemist who is part of the development team.
The Gates toilet focus started just about a year ago, and including grants announced Tuesday, $370 million in foundation dollars have been committed to reinventing the toilet. Hensman said the foundation decided to hold a toilet fair this week to show how far the scientists have gotten in that time, and to give them an opportunity to learn from each other and potentially collaborate.
Among those scheduled to attend the toilet fair were government ministers from African nations, utility workers and potential financial partners like UNICEF and Oxfam.
Reinventing the toilet has the potential to improve lives as well as the environment.
Flush toilets waste tons of potable drinking water each year, fail to recapture reusable resources like the potential energy in solid waste and are simply impractical in so many places.
Gates predicted the result of this project would reach beyond the developing world.
"If we do it right, there's every possibility that some of these designs would also be solutions for rich and middle-income countries," Gates said.

I propose you to spend a moment of relaxation and relaxation guaranteed. Kisses
Why take yourself so seriously? BDSM is a game and not a social status, nor destiny . No? As a lover of offbeat, fetishistic and unusual games, I am convinced that our most important sexual organ is inside the skull. I prefer verbs to adjectives and I avoid protocol. What we will do together (if one day we meet), will be our game, our BDSM, our fetish, and it will be worth no more and no less than any canonized story. If you have a fantasy that seems completely ridiculous to you, if no one understands why you're excited about it, or if you haven't found anyone who can pinpoint your refined fetish - come on in. I'm proud to be the one with whom people often say "Finally!". I have 9 years of (daily) BDSM and fetish experience, it's the "only" way my sexuality and sensuality is expressed, my collection of latex outfits and impact toys, and my bondage skills are unparalleled in the US... and I'm weighing my words. But the day I have nothing more to learn, I will stop! âMy favorite practices revolve around forniphilia ("human furniture") and other depersonalization games. In the absolute, and even out of conviction, I am a switch, but rarely available (in my mind and body) to submit. Submissives and/or masochists will therefore be better (or faster) served. The only "rigid" restrictions I place result from the fact that I take safe sex literally. This can lead to protocols that may seem absurd, but in choosing between nice latex accessories and extremely heavy treatments following an unfortunate infection, I have my bias. If you are a couple of dominant man + submissive woman, I wish to communicate with Madam first of all, by telephone, and without Mr. listening to us. PS: Avoid the "sublime Mistress" to contact me. We don't have to go through all the steps, eh! :-) Right now, we are both free and equal citizens, even if one of us gets more respect in society than the other... it's not me and you know it. So be respectful but not hypocritical, it feels good. ----- Ich spreche selbstverständlich fehlerlos Deutsch. I speak perfect English. Jeg leser og skriver lidt Dansk.

Raspberry Pi Kernel Compilation
Back to the Hub.
Software & Distributions:
Software - an overview.
Distributions - operating systems and development environments for the Raspberry Pi.
Kernel Compilation - advice on compiling a kernel.
Performance - measures of the Raspberry Pi's performance.
Programming - programming languages that might be used on the Raspberry Pi.
Important note
The instructions provided below appears to be outdated, are inconsistent and fail for the current version of the reffered repositories. Consider http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/kernel/building.md, for which the cross-compilation instructions is confirmed to work. (19 March 2015, tools: 783eb21c, linux: c4ba28133).
The "Re4son kernel-builder" provides a working environment to build the latest kernel packages and can be used as a reference for studying how I cross compile the Re4son-Kernel.
This page explains how to rebuild the kernel image for the Raspberry Pi. There are two possible routes available:
- Compile on the Raspberry Pi itself
- Cross compile on another Linux system
Both of these routes are covered below, however, you are strongly recommended to follow the cross-compilation route. The low processing power of the Raspberry Pi means that a local compile will take many hours. A compilation of the latest kernel and modules took about 752 minutes (12h30m)!
If you want to compile an upstream kernel, rather than the Raspberry Pi Foundation's downstream kernel, please see RPi_Upstream_Kernel_Compilation for a few tips.
Example Checklist/Roadmap
This section serves to hold a new user's hand just a bit more than some of the other more generic information below in the document. To get more information on the steps in the roadmap, search this page for additional details. It assumes you can navigate filesystems, move files across systems, and have a general understanding of compiling linux kernels, filesystems, partitions, and block devices.
This series of steps yielded a successful custom/updated hardfp kernel to a stock Raspbian installation, cross compiled from an AMD 64-bit Debian system without regression on any kernel configuration options or requiring modified boot parameters. Be aware that in the worst case, you may need to overlay a stock set of kernel/modules/firmware on the Raspberry Pi if something fails. If you do not know how to do this, then a reimage of the SD card may be necessary. Assuming this is not an issue for your configuration, continue onward:
- Get the latest Raspberry Pi kernel source (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux)
- Set an environment variable KERNEL_SRC to point to the location of the source (for example, KERNEL_SRC=/home/me/linux/ )
- Get the latest Raspberry Pi compiler (git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools)
- Set an environment variable CCPREFIX to point to the location of tools (for example, CCPREFIX=/home/me/tools/arm-bcm2708/arm-bcm2708-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-bcm2708-linux-gnueabi- )
- From the kernel clone location, clean the kernel source with "make mrproper"
- Pull the /proc/config.gz from the running Raspbian installation
- Prime the kernel with the old configuration by running "ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CCPREFIX} make oldconfig"
- Modify the kernel configuration by either modifying the .config file or using "ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CCPREFIX} make menuconfig"
- Build the new kernel by using "ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CCPREFIX} make"
- Set an environment variable, MODULES_TEMP, to point to the location of the source (for example, MODULES_TEMP=/home/me/modules/ )
- Set aside the new kernel modules by using "ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CCPREFIX} INSTALL_MOD_PATH=${MODULES_TEMP} make modules_install"
- From the tools clone location, in the mkimage directory, run "./imagetool-uncompressed.py ${KERNEL_SRC}/arch/arm/boot/zImage"
- Move the resulting kernel.img to the Raspberry Pi's /boot/ directory
- Package up the modules into an archive such that at the top level, the structure looks like this:
- ./firmware
- ./firmware/brcm
- ./firmware/edgeport
- ./firmware/emi26
- ...
- ./modules
- ./modules/3.6.11+
- ./modules/3.6.11+/kernel
- ./modules/3.6.11+/kernel/lib
- ./modules/3.6.11+/kernel/fs
- ...
- Move the modules archive to the Raspberry Pi and extract them such that the aforementioned firmware and modules directories overwrite /lib/firmware and /lib/modules
- Get the latest Raspberry Pi firmware (git://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware.git)
- Transfer the following files from the firmware/boot directory to the Raspberry Pi /boot directory:
- bootcode.bin
- fixup.dat
- start.elf
- Transfer the firmware/hardfp/opt directory to the Raspberry Pi /opt directory
- Reboot the Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi should now boot with the newly configured/recompiled kernel.
Get the kernel source
The kernel source should be downloaded from the Raspberry Pi Linux section on GitHub. Although you could just compile the vanilla kernel from Kernel.org, it will not have the necessary drivers and modules for the Broadcom SoC on the Raspberry Pi. You can however apply patches from the vanilla kernel to the Raspberry Pi one - be prepared for potential compiler grumbles though!
On Jan 2014, the current is rpi-3.10.y. You can check this and other available versions by browsing Raspberry Pi Linux section on GitHub
You can download the source directly using Git. For the 3.10 branch:
git init git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git
And for the other stable code branch, change the numbers in the following to suit:
git init git fetch git://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git rpi-3.6.y:refs/remotes/origin/rpi-3.6.y git checkout rpi-3.6.y
Or you can download a tarball from the same website:
Get a compiler
Next, you will need to get a version of GCC in order to build the kernel.
1. On the Raspberry Pi
Arch Linux
pacman -Syu pacman -S gcc make
Funtoo or Gentoo Linux
emerge make bc screen
openSUSE Linux
Detailed openSUSE Raspberry Pi 12.3 Image 20130407 + 3.8.8 kernel hack tutorial witten (2013-04-22 updated) see: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=40664&p=331953#p331953 The kernel compile takes about 22 hours on Raspberry Pi Model B due massive module compiles. Include all IP_VS, ARPD, Fuse-zfs, Zram and more :-)
This works as well for Debian, Fedora Remix and others (just the package install command differs):
zypper install u-boot-tools sudo gcc automake autoconf bison gettext flex libncurses5 ncurses-devel
Raspbian and PiBang
apt-get update apt-get -y dist-upgrade apt-get -y install gcc make bc screen ncurses-dev git

2. Cross compiling from Linux
Please note that when cross-compiling, your compiler may not target the correct ARM processor by default. This will at best reduce performance, or worse, compile for a much newer processor resulting in illegal instructions in your code. The pre-built compiler or a custom-built compiler are recommended because of this. (For example, the latest GCC Linaro binary targets armv7-a by default, whereas the Raspberry Pi requires armv6kz). It is possible to add extra compiler options to the HOSTCFLAGS line in Makefile. The correct flags are shown on the software page - note that you may also need to add -marm if your compiler produces Thumb code by default.
Use the provided compiler
Download the pre-built bmc2708 compiler from the Raspberry Pi tools section on GitHub.
git clone git://github.com/raspberrypi/tools.git --depth 1
Or you can download a tarball from the website using this link.
Custom-built Linaro GCC
apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi make ncurses-dev
Funtoo or Gentoo Linux
crossdev -S -v -t arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
Crossdev should create a cross-toolchain using the latest stable versions of the required packages. If it fails, you can specify exact versions by removing the "-S" flag and adding the "--b", "--g", "--k" and "--l" flags. On 2012-05-06, cross -S -v -A gnueabi arm works just fine.
Arch Linux
yaourt -S arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
Cross compiling from OS X
The kernel source requires a case-sensitive filesystem. If you do not have a HFS+ case-sensitive partition that can be used, create a disk image with the appropriate format. Ensure the latest versin of Xcode and command line tools are installed from Apple Developer Connection Install macports
port install arm-none-eabi-gcc port install arm-none-eabi-binutils
If you get an error message that elf.h is missing
sudo port install libelf && sudo ln -s /opt/local/include/libelf /usr/include/libelf
From opensource.apple.com, download and copy elf.h and elftypes.h to /usr/include
Edit elf.h and add
#define EM_S390 22 #define R_386_NONE 0 #define R_386_32 1 #define R_386_PC32 2 #define R_ARM_NONE 0 #define R_ARM_PC24 1 #define R_ARM_ABS32 2 #define R_MIPS_NONE 0 #define R_MIPS_16 1 #define R_MIPS_32 2 #define R_MIPS_REL32 3 #define R_MIPS_26 4 #define R_MIPS_HI16 5 #define R_MIPS_LO16 6 #define EM_S390 22 #define R_MIPS_64 18 #define R_390_64 22 #define R_X86_64_64 1 #define R_SPARC_64 32 #define R_SH_DIR32 1 #define R_PPC_ADDR32 1 #define R_PPC64_ADDR64 38 #define R_IA64_IMM64 0x23
If you get a "SEGMENT_SIZE is undeclared" error open the Makefile and change the line:
NOSTDINC_FLAGS += -nostdinc -isystem $(shell $(CC) -print-file-name=include)
NOSTDINC_FLAGS += -nostdinc -isystem $(shell $(CC) -print-file-name=include) -Dlinux
Complete script requires raspberrypi.config to be in the same folder that you execute from.

Download and install from here.
Perform the compilation
Firstly, ensure your build directory is clean:
make mrproper
Next, in all cases, you will want to get a working kernel configuration to start from. You can get the one running on the Raspberry Pi by typing the following (on the Raspberry Pi):
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
Then copy .config into your build directory.
Alternatively, the default configuration is available in the downloaded kernel source in arch/arm/configs/bcmrpi_defconfig. Just copy this to .config in the build directory.
From this point on, if you are cross-compiling, set an environment variable CCPREFIX that points to the prefix of your compiler binary as each compiler will be named slightly differently.
export CCPREFIX=/path/to/your/compiler/binary/prefix-of-binary-
If you are building on the Raspberry Pi, remove ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CCPREFIX} from each command.
Ensure that your configuration file is up-to-date:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CCPREFIX} oldconfig
If any configuration options have been added, you will be asked what set each option to. If you don't know the answer, just press enter to accept the default.
Optionally, if you want to make changes to the configuration, run this next:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CCPREFIX} menuconfig
Now you are ready to build:
(On the Raspberry Pi, type 'screen' to open a virtual screen. If you use it you can disconnect from the Raspberry Pi and compile overnight...)
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CCPREFIX}
If you are on a multi-core system, you can make the build faster by appending -j<N> where <N> is the number of cores on your system plus one (that is, -j3 for two cores).
Find something else to get on with while the compilation takes place. On an average PC with the default configuration, this should take about 15 minutes.
The modules will be build with the following command.
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CCPREFIX} modules
Transfer the build
The fully built kernel will be arch/arm/boot/Image. Copy your new kernel file into the Raspberry Pi boot partition, though preferably as a new file (such as kernel_new.img) just in case it doesn't work. If you're building on the Raspberry Pi, just copy the file to /boot. If you use a different filename, edit config.txt change the kernel line:
kernel=kernel_new.img #kernel=kernel.img
Now you need to transfer the modules. Set an environment variable that points to a temporary module path.
export MODULES_TEMP=~/modules
In the build directory, run the following command:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CCPREFIX} INSTALL_MOD_PATH=${MODULES_TEMP} modules_install
The contents of this directory, a single
directory, should then be copied into the Raspberry Pi root directory, merging or overwriting
NOTE: If you have rebuilt the new kernel with exactly the same version as the one that's running, you'll need to remove the old modules first. Ideally this should be done offline by mounting the SD card on another system.
NOTE: The lib directory will have symlinks back to the kernel sources (lib/modules/<kernel-version>/source and lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build). If you have limited space on the SD card and don't intend to compile modules on the Raspberry Pi itself, you will probably want to remove those links before you transfer the lib directory. The size difference can be many hundreds of MB.
Your Raspberry Pi should now be ready to boot the new kernel. However, at this point it's recommended that you update your GPU firmware and libraries. This is required if you've just moved from 3.2 to 3.6 as the firmware interface has changed.
Get the firmware
The firmware and boot files should be updated at the same time to ensure that your new kernel works properly. Again, two branches are available:
- master - This is the version of firmware currently used in Raspbian (that is, it works with the 3.2 kernel).
- next - This is a development branch which provides a newer GPU firmware to work with the updated drivers in the 3.6 kernel.
You can either download the source directly using Git: You can download the firmware directly using Git. For the master branch:
git clone git://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware.git
And for the next branch:
git fetch git://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware.git next:refs/remotes/origin/next
Or you can download a tarball from the website using these links: master next
Transfer the firmware
Firstly, update the required boot files in the Raspberry Pi boot directory with those you've downloaded. These are:
- bootcode.bin
- fixup.dat
- start.elf
Next, you need to copy the VC libraries over. There are two copies of this: one for hard float and one for soft float. To find the correct one, run the following command:
${CCPREFIX}gcc -v 2>&1 | grep hard
If something prints out, and you can see --with-float=hard, you need the hard float ones. NOTE: The current version of Raspbian uses hard float.
Remove the /opt/vc directory from the Raspberry Pi root, then:
- For hard float, copy vc from the hardfp/opt directory into /opt in the Raspberry Pi root directory
- Otherwise copy vc from the top-level opt directory into /opt in the Raspberry Pi root directory.
Note: The hard float vs soft float here refers only to the kernel itself, not the functionality it provides. Your applications will still be able to use hard floats. The kernel doesn't use floats anyway, so it is not something to worry about as long as you select the correct vc directory to copy.
Test your build
Power cycle your Raspberry Pi and check the following:
- If you have the serial port on the GPIO expander wired up, you should see the kernel booting.
- The screen works - the kernel boots and you get a login prompt.
- The VC interface is working - if the 'OK' LED flashes regularly eight or so times every few seconds once the OS has booted, it's not. You can also test this by running vcgencmd measure_temp. If it prints "VCHI initialization failed", you have the a mismatch between the firmware, the VC libraries, and the kernel driver.
- Run uname -a and check that your new kernel is the one that's running.
- Make sure you don't have any odd error messages during boot that may indicate a module isn't working properly. If you see missed completion of cmd 18 regarding DMA transfers to the SD card, you can safely ignore it.
Build modules for the running kernel
You need the kernel sources for the currently running kernel to successfully build kernel modules for the Raspberry Pi. More specifically, only parts of the complete source, the so called kernel headers are needed.
There are two ways to arrive at a state from which you can build kernel modules on the Raspberry Pi.
1. is most suitable if you have been using Kernel sources from raspberrypi.org
2. is using only mainline kernel stuff
1. Using rpi-source
rpi-source downloads a matching source for the running kernel. It supports rpi-update kernels and Raspian kernels.
Examples: https://github.com/notro/rpi-source/wiki/Examples-on-how-to-build-various-modules
2. Manually
If you have used or want to stick with a vanilla (mainline) kernel, there is a different way
You have been following the RPi_Upstream_Kernel_Compilation guide, correct? Great, let's move on: That guide is not using modules, so enable modules in make menuconfig first. Then execute
$ ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CCPREFIX} chrt -i 0 make -j 8 $ ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CCPREFIX} INSTALL_MOD_PATH=${MODULES_TEMP} make modules_install
The second line will create the .ko files and it will create the necessary folder structure (/usr/src/linux/lib/modules/`uname -r`/[build|kernel|source]. build and source are symlinks to the kernel sources. kernel contains the module files (under some subdirectories).
Now you can continue with RPi_Upstream_Kernel_Compilation compiling the bootloader and so on. Finally also copy the used kernel sources onto the SD card, e.g. under /home/pi/linux
$ cp -av /usr/src/linux/ <sdcard-ext4-root>/home/pi/
Boot the Raspberry Pi, then execute
$ cd /home/pi $ sudo chown -R pi:pi linux/
to change back ownership to you (this is necessary unless your username on your build machine is also "pi"...). Now copy /home/pi/linux/lib/modules/* to the correct
$ sudo cp -R /home/pi/linux/lib/modules/`uname -r`/ /lib/modules/
Correct the symlinks:
$ sudo cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ $ sudo rm build source $ ln -s /home/pi/linux build $ ln -s /home/pi/linux source
Now, we need to fix one more problem: During the cross-compilation build, a couple scripts were compiled for the host. We also need them for the Raspberry Pi. Still on the Pi, this can be checked with e.g.
$ file /home/pi/linux/scripts/recordmcount (returns something with x86-64) $ cd /home/pi/linux/ $ make scripts $ file /home/pi/linux/scripts/recordmcount (now returns something with 32-bit and ARM)

Windows Phone suffers two weeks in a row without a new Xbox game
Earlier this year, Windows Phone experienced an extended Xbox game release drought that actually began at the end of 2012. As the weeks stretched on, we became increasingly worried about the future of Xbox games on Windows Phone. The severity of the drought prompted me to write our seven-part "How Microsoft can save Xbox games for Windows Phone" series, which all Windows Phone gamers still need to read.
In February, Skulls of the Shogun basically broke the drought, though the following week there was no new release. But since then, we've seen a steady release of Xbox games for Windows Phone 7 and 8 from major publishers like Gameloft, Rovio, and Ubisoft. It looked like the days of drought were behind us.
Then last week we got no new Xbox release. It stung, but maybe this week would be different. Well, as far as we can tell, there is no new Xbox game this week either. Could this be the start of a new drought?
Distractions, distractions
Avid gamers have probably noticed that we haven't had advance notice of an Xbox Windows Phone game in a couple of months. Remember, we usually get that information from Microsoft's PR team. But the information dried up and nobody could tell us why. The person who supplied release data to our PR contact simply stopped doing so without explanation.
Now, we had semi-optimistically attributed the release data drop-off as being due to Microsoft's focusing all of its Xbox Windows Phone game resources on E3 and the Xbox One reveal. But that doesn't really make sense, because it's not like it takes a lot of energy for the Xbox Windows Phone portfolio manager to send a simple email to the PR team. Nor was Windows Phone even present at E3 beyond Halo: Spartan Assault, so the Xbox Windows Phone staff couldn't have been tied up with E3 preparations.
Low priority
No, the real cause of the lack of Xbox Windows Phone communications seems to be the same reason for the lack of releases this week, last week, and in recent times past. Microsoft just isn't dedicating resources to Xbox Windows Phone, whether it's acquiring new games at an adequate rate or promoting what few games they do have coming up.
They can pay rooms full of people who know nothing about videogames to come up with universally reviled DRM policies for the Xbox One and then send the most mixed and limp messages about the One and its policies as possible… But Microsoft doesn't want to find and fund Xbox Windows Phone games or promote those games at the levels they did in 2010 and 2011. They just don't.
Maybe I'm conflating things a bit by bringing the recent Xbox One screw-ups into the mix. And Microsoft wisely reversed their DRM policies in time to put the upcoming console on more even ground with Playstation 4 when it launches later this year. The Xbox One team and Xbox Windows Phone team are separate and very different, after all. One key difference being that we still have visible proof that the Xbox One team actually exists.
Next time's the charm?
Definitely not coming next week. Next year though!
Don't let my doldrums get you down, guys. There could very well be a new Xbox Windows Phone game next week. Let's hope so, because Xbox games are important to the success of Windows Phone. Porting Xbox games to iOS and Android (as with the recently announced mobile Age of Empires), not so important or helpful for gamers in our camp.
