Zimbra Desktop is open source, right? Yes! Great!
Except ... today I decided I might try to fix a bug I reported myself...
* I can't find an archive of the source anywhere except for really old versions
* The only other way to get the source is from a perforce repository
* I managed to get the perforce client, but get no response from the server
* There doesn't seem to be clear documentation on which branches are available etc - but never mind, because I can't check them out anyway!
It's a shame because this is such great software!
It seems the perforce server problem is fairly regular ... if I manage to get through, I'm strongly inclined to set up a git-p4 clone so the source is more accessible. But I'll see...

Toddler Named 'Jihad' Lands His Mom in Hot Water — and on TrialMeredith Carroll
There are wacky baby names, and then there are downright dangerous baby names. Well, there's at least one dangerous name.
A mom in France gave birth to a son on Sept. 11, 2009, and named him Jihad, which is a term used to refer to a struggle or a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty.
The BBC reports that the Moroccan-born Bouchra Bagour, 35, sent her son to school near Avignon, France, in a t-shirt, which was a gift from his uncle, that said "Jihad" on the front and "Born on Sept. 11" on the back.
For obvious reasons, young Jihad's teacher was alarmed at the shirt and notified school district authorities. The incident also got the attention of the town's mayor, Thierry Lagneau, who said, "I didn't know what was behind it, but we could not let that go. We have to impose limits."
Bagour and the boy's uncle were ultimately charged with "glorifying crime."
"It's the day his birth I wanted to highlight, not the year," the uncle, Zeyad Bagour, told the court.
However, the prosecutors have alleged it's a "direct and scandalous allusion to terrorism."
The trial comes at a time that The Washington Post says is fractured between France's 8 percent Muslim minority and the rest of the country's 65 million residents, "who recognize their roots in an ancient Christian tradition."
This isn't the first time there has been a legal showdown over baby names. A few months ago a girl in Iceland had to go to court to win the right to use the moniker her parents bestowed on her at birth, which was on a banned list in that country. Parents in New Jersey who named their son Adolf Hitler lost custody of him as a direct result. And recently, although it didn't involve the police, parents named their newborn daughter Hashtag, which is in reference the Twitter term — and that lead many to call the mom and dad #foolish.

Kim Kardashian Debuts Blond Hair
September 04, 2013 03:43 PM by Stephanie Gustafson
Just imagine all the dumb blond jokes that will now plague Kim Kardashian! The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star recently decided to change up her hairdo. Fortunately, instead of going all Miley Cyrus on us, the celeb kept her signature long locks, opting for a a simple dye job.
Kim Kardashian as a blond? Yes, it is possible, and yes, the concept is now a reality. The celeb showed off a lighter hue over Labor Day weekend, which she celebrated in the company of a close friend from Beverly Hills. Although several shades lighter than her prior 'do, the look still keeps some of that sassy brunette with slightly darker roots that give way for golden ends.
This certainly is not the first time Kim Kardashian has opted for lighter hair. The reality star also showed off a blond style back in 2009, later bringing it back for a brief period in 2012. It looks like she had blonde ambitions in mind earlier this year as well, seeing as the look featured prominently in a throwback photo posted several months ago. The caption for the snapshot? "Missing my blonde."
Kim appears to enjoy the blonde look, and fortunately, so does her baby daddy Kanye West. The celeb's colorist tells E! News, "He loves it. He was a big cheerleader for her to go blond."
The new blond hue is accompanied by an update that Kim's stylist refers to as "Cindy Crawford-esque." He explains, "The swooped up-and-over bang is kind of what we're doing with her too — very '80s-ish."
What do you think of Kim Kardashian's blond hairdo? Sound off in the comments section below!

Holding cells not seen the same
The first thought of a jail cell detainee might be that someone is watching them at all times. But in some cases, if detainees can't see an officer, then the officers can't see them.
During its investigation of holding cells at 10 local law enforcement stations, the Tulare County Grand Jury found that at least three facilities do have security cameras installed in their cells. The three listed in the Grand Jury's 2012-13 Final Report were the Sheriff's Substations in Porterville and Pixley and the Lindsay Police Department.
According to the report, there is a single holding cell in Lindsay. The cell is inspected before and after a detainee has been placed in it. Juveniles are placed in the cell with the door open, males are locked into the holding cells and females are kept in a separate room handcuffed to a bench until they can be transported to the Bob Wiley Detention Facility. But there are no cameras within the cell area.
"Those facilities having security cameras are able to monitor detainees as needed," the report stated.
The report stated the reason for the investigation was to "inspect these facilities, looking at overall conditions, safety, and management" due to "a history of suicides in some of the holding cells." By law under California Penal Code 919 (b), the Grand Jury is mandated to inquire into the conditions and management of public prisons within the County.
In Exeter, detainees are not only watched by a camera but they are transported to the Main Jail in Visalia for booking within 45 minutes of arrival. Juveniles are not kept in the cells and remain in the cell area next to an officer until they are transported to the Juvenile Detention Facility. In Woodlake, detainees are transported "immediately" for booking at the Main Jail.
While Lindsay was one of three agencies listed for not having security cameras, they were also one of the few to have already implemented the Grand Jury's top recommendation. The Grand Jury recommends all law enforcement agencies use citizens serving court ordered community service to do the daily cleaning of the holding cell areas. While the Grand Jury concedes that not using city employees to clean facilities may require negotiation with unionized custodial workers, it said not using city personnel as a janitorial service "is financially beneficial to the local governments."
Lindsay has City maintenance crews clean the cells Monday through Friday but use court ordered community service workers on the weekend. Cities exclusively using City personnel to clean its holding cells were Dinuba, Tulare, Visalia, Porterville and Woodlake. In Dinuba, Tulare, Visalia and Porterville, City maintenance staff clean the cells. In Woodlake, on duty officers are responsible for cleaning the holding cells.
Exeter was the exception to all of the rules. Instead of having detainees, City workers or court ordered workers, Exeter uses a private janitorial service to clean its cells on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. For more information on the 2012-13 Final Report, call the Tulare County Grand Jury at 559-624-7295.

I have no problem with this morning's news that Jesse Eisenberg is set to play Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder's "Batman vs. Superman," and Jeremy Irons will take over fellow senior Brit Michael Caine's role as Bat butler Alfred.
At least--as the vociferous Twitter reaction indicates--Eisenberg represents a change-up in the next "Superman" movie. If we must return to this all-too familiar villain--played by a bald Kevin Spacey in Bryan Singer's much-criticized 2006 "Superman Returns"-- at least let it be a radical interpretation. Eisenberg can thank his chilly brainiac roles in "The Social Network" and "Now You See Me" for landing this one.
I'd like to think that Warner Bros. will improve on Zack Snyder and David Goyer's last by the numbers "Superman" outing, "Man of Steel" ($630 million worldwide is not as much as it sounds for a $225-million-plus production) which veered too far toward jam-packed action, but I remain skeptical. Adding Ben Affleck as Batman is a sign that they recognize that they need to add heft to young Superman Henry Cavill.
Should we bank on Affleck's professed admiration for this script? He tells Playboy:
"I don't want to give away too much, but the idea for the new Batman is to redefine him in a way that doesn't compete with the Bale and Chris Nolan Batman but still exists within the Batman canon. It will be an older and wiser version, particularly as he relates to Henry Cavill's Superman character. It was a unique take on Batman that was still consistent with the mythology. It made me excited. All of a sudden I had a reading of the character. When people see it, it will make more sense than it does now or even than it did to me initially... If I thought the result would be another 'Daredevil,' I'd be out there picketing myself. Why would I make the movie if I didn't think it was going to be good and that I could be good in it?"
Wisely, the new Warners team has pushed the release date back to May 6, 2016. No need to rush on this one. Get it right.

"When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'" John 8:12 (NIV).
Although the interlude which records Jesus' encounter with the woman caught in adultery doesn't seem to fit, it apparently happened in the temple while He was teaching the people. The water ceremony which we spoke about in a previous post, was part of the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles. The lighting of the candelabras took place on the second day of the feast.
"According to the Mishnah (part of the oral tradition of the rabbis), gigantic candelabras stood within the court of the women. Each of the four golden candelabras is said to have been 50 cubits high. A cubit is somewhere between 18 and 22 inches, so we're talking about candelabras that were about 75 feet tall! Each candelabrum had four branches, and at the top of every branch there was a large bowl. Four young men bearing 10 gallon pitchers of oil would climb ladders to fill the four golden bowls on each candelabrum. And then the oil in those bowls was ignited.
"Picture sixteen beautiful blazes leaping toward the sky from these golden lamps. Remember that the Temple was on a hill above the rest of the city, so the glorious glow was a sight for the entire city to see. In addition to the light, Levitical musicians played their harps, lyres, cymbals and trumpets to make joyful music to the Lord. What a glorious celebration! The light was to remind the people of how God's Shekinah glory had once filled His Temple. But in the person of Jesus, God's glory was once again present in that Temple. And He used that celebration to announce that very fact. He was teaching in the court of women just after the Feast, perhaps standing right next to those magnificent candelabras when He declared to all who were gathered there,"
Although many of the Jewish leaders were scathing about Jesus' apparent origin in Galilee (although they failed to realize that He was born in Bethlehem as the Scripture had predicted), God had promised that a great light would shine out of Galilee (Isaiah 9:1,2).
The people were unwittingly using ceremonies and symbols which they did not understand while the fulfilment of their symbolic expectation was right there among them! They were celebrating their Messianic hope with physical light while Jesus was offering them a new life of freedom from the demands of selfishness and sin (darkness) so that they could live the lives He intended for them, living lovingly and generously towards others (light).
"'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'" John 8:12 (NIV).
There was pain in the heart of Jesus over the spiritual leaders of the nation who refused to recognize and come to Him as the light. He was inviting the people to set aside all their efforts to please God by following rules and rituals. God had set out His teaching (torah) in His law but they had found it impossible to fulfil all His requirements. The leaders laid a heavy burden on the people through their yoke of legalism.
Jesus offered them a better way. 'Follow me,' He said, 'and you will never walk in darkness.' He told them that He had not come to do away with the law but to show them how to fulfil it. In His offer of "living water" there was a promise that the Holy Spirit would be in them, like the water they drank every day to quench their thirst, to give them life and enable them the follow Him.
If they followed His way of life, living for others instead of for themselves, their lives would be filled with His light, the joy and peace of God that would bring them satisfaction and fulfilment instead of dissatisfaction and discontent.
He still invites us to follow Him!

Maternal instinct: In another case of a cat adopting a baby squirrel is Tita, seen here feeding it as her kitten plays with it, in Envigado near Medellin, Colombia. – Filepic
One of life's biggest questions, answered.
A READER once sent me a copy of a YouTube video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfdCEy7Y1-E) of a baby squirrel that started to purr after it was placed with a new litter of kittens. The new mother cat allowed the baby to feed with her brood and soon, it began purring right along with the rest.
It makes me wonder why cats (and the occasional squirrel) purr. Is it pleasure, as most believe, or is something else going on here?
According to online pet specialists Doctors Foster and Smith, purring may express a cat's feeling of well-being. In the case of the purring squirrel, just as its litter mates did, the squirrel could have been telling the mother cat that "all is well".
Older cats purr when they want to signal that they are friendly and want to play.
But they also purr when they are frightened, sick or injured. The sound is one of several methods of communication cats use to convey needs and moods.
If you watch your cat carefully, you can read the other ways it tries to convey messages – through squinting, slow blinking, stretching, scratching, facial rubbing and spraying. You can then try to determine what the cat is communicating.
For some reason, many cats will stop purring if they hear the sound of running water. This is why your veterinarian may turn on a faucet in an attempt to get your cat to stop purring so he or she can hear what is going on inside the cat's body during an examination.
There are plenty of other commonly held beliefs about animals. Superstitions, myths, old tales and mistaken beliefs about animals have been passed down since humans began to question our relationship with them.
Some are urban legends while others are downright laughable to our sophisticated minds.
But I'm willing to bet there are plenty of people still spreading "old wives tales".
Cat myths
AnimalsGuru.com provided these explanations for superstitions and animal myths. Some of the more smart-alecky asides are from yours truly.
> Cutting off a cat's whiskers causes a loss of balance: A cat's whiskers have absolutely nothing to do with its sense of balance.
> Cats have nine lives: This myth probably dates back to ancient Egypt, where nine was considered a mystical number. The god Alum-Ka was believed to take the form of a cat when he came back from the underworld.
> Cats can be served a lone diet of tuna: Don't do it. High levels of magnesium in tuna can increase urinary tract disease.
> Cats always land safely on their feet: Although cats are amazingly flexible, a cat can be injured in a fall. They have been known to break their front legs and jaws if they land on their feet.
> Cats can steal a baby's breath: As comfort and heat seekers, cats have been known to curl up next to a baby's warm body. This superstition probably started when a cat smelled the milk on the baby and got close to its mouth. Still, it's a good idea to keep cats out of a very young baby's room at nap time.
> Pregnant women should give up their cats: While toxoplasmosis is a risk for foetuses, a woman is more likely to get it from digging in a garden or handling raw meat. Still, pregnancy is a good excuse for assigning litter box chores to someone else.
> Black cats are bad luck: This myth dates back to pagan times. Silly, silly, silly.
> Cats hate water: Just like anything else, a cat (or dog or hamster or anything else that doesn't live in the water) is skeptical of new things. Acclimatise the animal to bathing by making it an enjoyable experience (which initially will require a favourite treat) and slowly progress until the animal is no longer afraid. If they hated water, cats wouldn't drink it or sit by a dripping tap for hours batting at the droplets.
> Cats are nocturnal: Just because your favourite feline wakes you at 4am doesn't mean they are nocturnal. It's in a cat's nature to hunt in the early morning and at dusk when prey is abundant. Although they have great vision, cats need only one-sixth of the amount of light humans need to decipher shapes. They do not see in the dark. The cat standing on your chest demanding your attention is telling you to get up and feed it before it goes back to bed for its next nap. Too bad you won't be able to.
> All male cats are orange-red in colour, and all female cats are calico: While this is usually true, it isn't always. Sometimes the genes for these colours sneak in and surprise you with a new litter of kittens. Get your animal spayed or neutered, and it won't be a problem. – Akron Beacon Journal /McClatchy-Tribune Information Services

Wow, I couldn't of scripted a worse start and a better end to that game. Cubs were down 5-0 after the first inning. There starting pitcher gave them 2 innings, resulting in the bullpen pitching 7 scoreless innings. The cubs scrapped in 3 runs, but no more going in to the 9th. In the bottom of the inning, Soriano singled, followed by a fontenot single which advanced Soriano to third. D-lee sacrificed Soriano in. So man on 1st, with A-ram to the plate as he hits the 1st pitch in the left field bleachers. Cubs win 6-5.
Cubs are back to 500, and are 6.5 games behind the brewers. And have won 7 IN A ROW. Had to be one of the most exciting games that i have seen in a while.
That 9th inning definitely got me yelling for joy. Todays game was a great comeback.
We've been asking for the Brew Crew to cool off and it hasn't happened, but if we are the ones that can cool them off we can take some major steps towards the top of the central.
Great game today!
YES! with 2 outs... what a comeback!
Bottom 9th:
Chi Cubs - F. Cordero relieved D. Turnbow -
R. Theriot hit for B. Howry -
R. Theriot fouled out to second -
A. Soriano singled to center -
M. Fontenot singled to right, A. Soriano to third -
D. Lee hit sacrifice fly to deep right, A. Soriano scored -
A. Ramirez homered to left, M. Fontenot scored
3 runs, 3 hits, 0 errors Milwaukee 5, Chi Cubs 6
Cubs are 6.5 back which is MUCH better than 8.5 back.
also Cubs back to .500 baseball!!
Tomorrow is huge with Ben Sheets throwing for the Brew Crew and lets hope Marshall has his stuff.
I thought we were done in the ninth with 2 outs, I thought we were done when it was 5-2
Hill went 3 innings, so the bullpen pitched 6. Just a clarification. GO CUBS!
Green hills for thy throne, and for crown a golden melody/Ringing in the hearts of all who bring thee love and loyalty/Dear Alma Mater, make our spirits great
True and valiant like the bells of I-O-WA STATE!
And thank you Stumpy for this:
I hate to say it but Cyclones football is going to be on the back burner when the Cubs are in the World Series.
Oops, I turned the game off in the 8th and took the kids for a bike ride and missed the comeback. Oh well, fresh air is supposedly good for you.
I watched the first 2 innings and saw we were down 5-0. I left and went house/apartment hunting. Might have found one by the way. But came back and saw we were down 5-2. Watch the rest and had never screamed so loud, and cheer so hard. Great game one of the best games ever. Should make the best baseball plays ever.
Too nad the homer was against Codero who was on my fantasy team - he went negative 3 points today although he had been leading all fantasy pitchers for points.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Holy crap. I taped the game today so I could watch it after work (yes I still have a VCR). I was taking it easy but now I'm going to have to have a six pack to celebrate.
I missed the 9th this afternoon, but Fox Sports Wisconsin is replaying the game right now, so I'll get to watch it anyways. Too bad I have to listen to the Brewers' announcers though.

Still have to love to see victory ripped away from the first pitch Rameriz got to see. Ahh how I wish I could have heard that

ANALYSIS Terrorist or Petty Criminal Run Amok?
Neighbors offer contradictory views of Hussam Duwiyat, the perpetrator behind the bulldozer attack.
During the years prior to the Six-Day War, divided Jerusalem was rife with the phenomenon of the "mad Jordanian": A soldier from the Arab Legion suddenly and with no apparent reason began taking shots at civilians on the Israeli side of the borders.
The Jordanians said that the man was crazy and in that way absolved themselves from any responsibility for his acts. Hussam Duwiyat, the terrorist who ran amok with a bulldozer in the middle of Jerusalem - and his neighbor, Ala Abu-Dahim, who murdered eight students at the Mercaz Harav yeshiva four months ago - appear to be a Palestinian incarnation of the same modus operandi.
The Shin Bet security service agents who arrived at the home of the terrorist's family in Sur Baher in East Jerusalem, are now looking for clues as to the motive behind the deed. They will try to find out when was the last time Duwiyat visited a mosque, and whether he heard there unusual words of incitement against Israel. Some of the terrorists who carried out attacks in recent years of their own volition, and with no links to any organization, had been driven to take action out of deep religious feelings.
The neighbors of the murderer Wednesday had contradictory observations to give the press about his character - from descriptions that he was "a regular guy" to calling him a petty criminal, but they all agreed that he did not regularly go to mosque.
Perhaps he was upset because of some personal experience, a quarrel with his Israeli supervisor at work or a random insult from a policeman. The probe into the attack at the Mercaz Harav yeshiva did not reveal any links between the killer and any organization. The shooter, Ala Abu-Dahim, was a born-again former criminal. His family said that he was shocked by the photographs of Palestinian civilians killed in the Gaza Strip during the Israel Defense Force's operation "Hot Winter," which ended several days prior to the attack.
This time around, the Gaza Strip is calm, but it seems that not every killer needs an immediate incentive.
During the past five years the security forces, primarily the Shin Bet, have had impressive success. The number of Israelis killed as a result of Palestinian terrorism dropped from 426 in 2002 to only 13 last year. Whoever argues that it is not possible to win decisively in the asymmetric warfare against terrorism, will have to agree that in the West Bank Israel has achieved this to the maximum degree possible.
But the two latest outrages in Jerusalem, in which one person attacks, is something for which an early warning based on intelligence is almost impossible. When the murderer is a lone terrorist, with no infrastructure backing him, and not having spoken about it, it is hard to stop him. In Wednesday's incident, even the murder weapon did not prove to be a problem, as Duwiyat was an employee of a construction firm, the regular operator of a bulldozer.
The Arabs of East Jerusalem carry blue identity cards (but do not have citizenship), move about in the capital with no restraint, speak fluent Hebrew and do not raise suspicions. So when it comes to the residents of East Jerusalem, their interaction with the terrorist's target population is inevitable.
Contrary to its image of serenity, the eastern part of the city has been active in terrorism during both intifadas: About 300 residents were arrested during the last eight years for their role in terrorism.
Precisely because the area is territory under full Israeli control, no real response is expected at this time. If Hamas is not responsible, and the Palestinian Authority is not to blame, Israel has no target against whom to retaliate. On the other hand, politicians outdid each other yesterday (including the prime minister and the defense minister), in aggressive declarations. It seems this time they will try to raze the home of the terrorist, a retaliatory act that was put on hold in the case of the attack on Mercaz Harav.
The enthusiasm for this initiative - a sort of magic formula - is strange. The IDF ceased razing homes in the West Bank in 2005 when a committee headed by Major General Ehud Shani concluded that destroying homes has not proved to be a deterrent, because it did more harm than good.
While Islamic Jihad lauded the bulldozer attack in Jerusalem, Hamas avoided expressing any enthusiastic support for the act. The family of the terrorist did not put up any Hamas flags on its home, and the family did not receive even a partial endorsement from the organization.
Irrespective of the questionable criminal record of the terrorist, it seems that the measured response of Hamas is linked more to the group's wish to lower - at this time - its public visage in the confrontation with Israel. The attack in Jerusalem does not serve Hamas well at a time when it is mostly seeking to improve the living conditions in the Gaza Strip, and it needs Israel's agreement in order to keep the crossings into the Strip open.
It is doubtful that the bulldozer operator had planned the attack in advance, but the attack took place under the media's nose, in front of the building that houses foreign news outlets. The people who were passing in Jaffa Road, and all of Jerusalem, relived the terrible days of the intifada at its height, between 2001-2003. A serious attack in four months may undermine the sense of security that was restored with significant effort.
Even if most of those killed this year have been victims of an individual's attack in Jerusalem and rocket and mortar shelling from the Strip (both forms of terrorism that are hard to prevent), the statistics are troubling: 26 dead in six months. This number of victims is four times greater than last year.

There is a full line up of permaculture-related courses, apprenticeships and volunteer opportunities at Pine Ridge reservation this summer, starting mid-July. All courses are aligned with key projects that will complete steps to make a site on the rez fully self-reliant and resilient, as well as complete infrastructure for a permaculture/sustainability school on the site, do broad scale rehab of the prairie and consolidate a microlending/cooperative economics project. This will create a great demonstration site as well as the energy to build more resilient sites quickly at Pine Ridge. All activities will be carried out in cultural context of the Lakota. Permaculture Guild is partnering with Oglala-Lakota Cultural and Economic Revitilization Initiative to exchange beneficial energies. Community leaders from Haiti will also be at Pine Ridge this summer to learn and exchange wisdom, bringing three of the four races together in cooperation. Pine Ridge remains the poorest county in the US and The People suffer many hardships. This is an opportunity to contribute to the success and well-being of a nation that has long struggled. We currently have an opportunity to access funding that may be used to rehabilitate hundreds or thousands of acres of degraded, eroded tribal prairie lands back to the fertile, highly diverse mature prairie ecosystems enjoyed by the Lakota 150 years ago. We're holding a keyline design/holistic management course in July that will enable this program to go forward. Do you want to learn how to reverse desertification by building soils fast and reviving water supply and moisture over thousands of acres while providing food for a tribe? This course demonstrates how! We're offering a straw bale workshop from two of the top builders in the US and a project to build a classroom/workshop that will support these activities. Our Permaculture Design Course in August will be taught by veteran permaculturist Warren Brush. A food forest course will design and implement a food forest on the rez. Volunteers are needed now to help with logistics as there are many elements of coordination needed to pull off this ambitious project. Much of the work can be done remotely, wherever you are. We can do this with the right people, the elements are all aligning and it is time to do this. Tent camping available - also tipis, geodomes and other housing on first register/first served basis. Participants will have opportunities to interact with life on the rez, and ceremony as appropriate. Please see our web site for more info: permacultureguild.us Love and light, Cory

Batelco celebrates one year of successful E-Learning
Batelco Training Centre has celebrated the completion of one year of successful supported e-learning, with an award ceremony at the Ritz Carlton Hotel & Spa on May 10th. Most of the 200 staff members who have completed at least one e-learning programme were present to receive their certificate from Batelco Senior Manager Human Resources Development, Kamal Al Bahrani.
Supported e-learning was introduced by Batelco Training Centre in May last year to offer all staff the opportunity to develop both personal and professional skills in a wide range of subject areas. The Centre provides the tools and information necessary for the interactive learning experience and monitors the progress of each student offering support and encouragement to ensure the timely and successful completion of each course. Upon successful completion, participants are invited to attend a classroom-based session to complete a blended-learning solution.
Batelco Chief Executive Peter Kaliaropoulos said that as an avid supporter of life-long learning he is proud of the Training Centre's achievements over the past year.
"Success comes from two things, knowledge and application, and E-Learning lets us have information at our fingertips and provides the opportunity to apply that knowledge interactively at our own pace," he said.
Batelco General Manager Human Resources & Government Relations Shaikh Ahmed Al Khalifa said that human capital is the most competitive advantage a company has and by supporting the development of staff the company will reap the benefits long term.
"At Batelco, we have planted the seeds for a tree of knowledge to create a knowledge culture where people self learn, and we are delighted to see that many of our staff are already reaping the benefits."
Batelco has a wide range of Thomson NETg courses supplied by Kuwait-based Humansoft Learning Solutions, a leading regional e-learning solution provider in the Middle East.
Humansoft Learning Solutions Channel Development Manager Fady Abdul Khalek said that today Batelco is one of the top ten companies in the region who have successfully implemented e-learning in a very short time. "This is due to the vision and planning of the Training Centre and Batelco top management sponsorship," he said.
Among the many advantages of e-learning is its cost effectiveness which enables Batelco to offer more training in a wider range of topics to a greater number of staff members and the flexibility which offers learning anytime, anyplace, anywhere.

Czech emigres and American friends in the New York rock, theater scenes contemplate the life of Vaclav Havel
Follow: feed
At the Renaissance Revival-style Bohemian National Hall on East 73rd Street, one of New York City's few surviving 19th-century ethnic halls, last week's events were canceled after the news broke on Dec. 18 that Vaclav Havel had died.
Instead, from last Wednesday through Friday, there was a sort-of open house in the hall's Grand Ballroom with a condolence book that diplomats might use to record their memories of the Czech dissident and, ultimately, president. Or, rather, not only diplomats. Havel was also a playwright, philosopher, passionate rock fan, and humanitarian who touched so many with his writing, works, and life. Here in New York City, home to many Bohemists, Czech émigrés, expats, and diplomats, and many of Havel's Western supporters from the theater, the intellectual community, and the contemporary rock scene, the grief was especially acute.
Pavla Niklová runs the Hall, which was recently restored after decades of neglect at great expense to the Czech Republic. She had been following the reaction back in Prague.
"It's weird, all the people on the streets," she said. Her voice sounded stunned still; fewer events of the Bohemian National Hall these past few years had centered on the anti-Communist dissidence of the 1970s and '80s, and something essential to the modern history of the Czech Republic has become the simple past.
The Center's phones were ringing, offers of help and warm thoughts popped up on email. Meetings were put off to plan an event in memory of Havel for early January, but a date wasn't settled yet. The 6th would be ideal; it is the anniversary of Charter 77. Wouldn't it be nice if Havel's many New York friends, Lou Reed, Ivan Kral, and Suzanne Vega, came together? Perhaps a reading?
Niklová can't say just yet what will happen or when. Even though Havel was 75 and had been in poor health for more than a decade, the news was a shock to her and the others.
The one exhibit that remained open all week was Samizdat: the Czech Art of Resistance 1968-1989, which Havel had personally thanked Niklová for setting up. The exhibit tells the story of samizdat, the manuscripts reproduced during the Communist era via typewriter and circulated informally through networks of trusted friends. Samizdat was the illegal solution to a problem of supply and demand under state economic and social control: many writers wanted to write, many readers wanted to read. Most of us think of political tracts or experimental fiction, but the most popular samizdat in Czechoslovakia was The Lord of the Rings, followed up by other forms of enchantment such as Christian liturgy, pornography, and scientific journals.
Samizdat was a crucial element in Havel's development as a public figure and artist. Born into an intellectual family that grew to prosperity during the First Republic, he suffered for this under Communism, and was banned from humanities study. He dropped out of an economics program after two years and became a playwright, only to find himself banned from that as well. It was via samizdat that his early works gained wide circulation, and he became an important member of the dissident literary community, publishing his own editions under the name Edice Expedice. Later his work gained a reputation as "tamizdat," the name for works smuggled out and published in the West. His plays were performed at Joe Papp's Public Theater, among other places, and to Americans he became a symbolic head of Czechoslovakia's dissident intellectuals, largely through the championing of Tom Stoppard.
The samizdat exhibit's opening had been held on Nov. 10 at the Czech Center; that day, another famous Czech artist named Ivan Jirous died. Known as Magor ("the crazy one"), Jirous was a poet, writer, academic, band manager, and raconteur slightly younger than Havel whose life was philosophically parallel but who saw little of his elder's success. At Jirous's first New York reading in 2010 at the Harriman Institute of Russian, Eurasian, and Eastern European Studies (which I organized), one speaker called him "the moral force of the nation." Magor shuffled behind the speaker, still mid-presentation, eyed the door of the Institute's president's office, then cracked open his beer on the doorknob, spilling foam all over the carpet.
Magor wasn't just the embodiment of Havel's credo to "live in truth," he was the very person who electrified Havel's words into the human rights document, and later the movement, known as Charter 77.
As Stoppard famously wrote in Rock and Roll, his play about 1970s Czechoslovakia, all the dissidents in the world could not piss off authorities as much as drunken longhaired kids who wanted to rock, because those kids weren't fighting against the rules, they just lived by their own. In 1975 Magor wrote a samizdat essay in which he called this underground the "parallel polis." It became the policy statement of the underground, and he the underground's unofficial leader. He became the manager of Plastic People of the Universe, a grungy band of Velvet Underground and beat poetry lovers who made scrappy performance art with homemade instruments, to help them articulate their alternate world. Beat downs, arrests, and repression ensued.
Havel saw the moral valence of this stance and soon it became the narrative of the larger dissident movement: the slaughter of the rock-and-roll innocents was the ultimate corruption of the public faith in leadership (what faith remained) because it was apolitical, unnecessary, and violent.
Havel's country home, Hradiček, became one of the Plastics illegal venues, as well as a theater. It was a bit of a culture clash, since Havel wasn't part of the underground: he wasn't that rough. But most photos and stories of shows at Hradeček have him smiling, a drink in hand: a supporter, a fan. It was the same house in which Havel died.
MICHAL NANORU HEARD THE NEWS OF HAVEL'S death and called his wife into the room and they both cried.
They live in a building that houses the Czech Mission to the United Nations, where later that evening flowers appeared and delegates decided to place an enlarged black-and-white photo in the corner. By the next day there were candles, more flowers. A second impromptu shrine appeared at the Bohemian National Home.
This is one of the Catholic-inspired acts that made sense as protest during the state-mandated secularism of the Communist era, and yet survived into the new, post-Communist Czech Republic as a secular act. (The Czech Republic is, incidentally, the most atheist country in Europe.) A similar ritual is repeated every year in November in the wide boulevard of Národní třída in Prague to commemorate the events leading up to the Velvet Revolution in 1989. Non-violent, solemnly protesting students commemorating the Nazi murder of Czechoslovak students during International Students Day were kettled by police into an enclosed street arcade and beaten. The resulting public outrage over the event was a spark, and each year the arcade glows with candles to remember the birth of the Velvet Revolution.
Nanoru was 11 when the protests broke out. His parents kept him and his brother at their grandparents' house until it was clear that no more violence would occur. The closest he ever got to Havel was once, in a crowd, when chants of Havel na Hrad ("Havel to the castle") filled the air. Havel and others formed an opposition party, the Civic Forum, two days after the violence against the students, and things moved quickly after that.
"I loved the excitement," Nanoru remembered when I emailed with him last week. "I was a small anti-Communist. I sang the national anthem and other songs and was clinking my keys. As soon as I got to school I put my grandmother's Masaryk pictures on the board."
IN 1978 BRIAN SWIRSKY READ AN ARTICLE BY SIMON FRITH in Creem Magazine about "the most subversive band in the world," the Czechoslovak psychedelic rock band Plastic People of the Universe. To Swirsky, Czechoslovakia seemed an impossible place.
"It was on the enemy list," he said on the phone last week, hearkening back to the days of '80s paranoia about the big bad Eastern Bloc. Still, the way Frith described the Plastics' encounters with authorities reminded Swirsky of the way punks were being treated all over the world. He was intrigued. In the 1980s, he'd gone from a punk purist to a '60s rock fiend, and suddenly was reintroduced to the Czechs via Frank Zappa, who maintained a friendship with Havel.
"He was one of the only politicians at the time who had a connection to rock and roll and was very open about it," Swirsky said. "Then, when I read more about [Havel's] vision of the world, I became more enamored with him. He equated the radicalism of the Velvet Underground with democratic thought. I wish we had a little bit of that here, and I especially wished it during the Reagan/Bush years."
Today Swirsky is a rock promoter, head of the Brooklyn-based Complete Control agency. He routinely books international bands. Last year he helped book Zuby Nehty, the first all-woman punk band from Czechoslovakia, on their first U.S. tour. Right now he is working on a two-album set of music by Communist-era punk bands due out in 2012. He is just one of many who fall for the story of the Plastics and then find other musical riches less known to American ears. (I am another, writing my dissertation on Czech popular music between 1968-2010 after hearing the story of the Plastics, Havel, and Communism, then realizing the truth was more complex and still untold). After the initial 1990s burst of curiosity over Central European pop, Americans largely fell deaf to both its back catalog and its contemporary bands. It is only now that a new generation of Czechs, emboldened by years of international travel and study of Pitchfork archetypes, have stared to find an audience outside their small nation once again.
Jason Gross was similarly turned on to Havel through rock, coming to the confluence of the two through Robert Christgau's writings on the Plastic People in the Village Voice. Gross runs the webzine Perfect Sound Forever, which has been chronicling the downtown art-pop crossover for two decades, and for him the Plastics were just another band creatively mixing the anti-authoritarian and the avant garde. "Except for 2 Live Crew (and by association Too Much Joy), it's rare for American bands to be jailed for censored music," Gross writes, pointing to the Plastics' 1976 arrest as a key moment in the band's narrative. Havel's death, for Gross, is about the closing of a generational narrative about rock in opposition, one that had tied downtown New York to Central Europe since Ivan Kral defected from Prague in 1968 and began shooting 8mm films of his friends at CBGB's, which would become Blank Generation, the first punk documentary. Kral joined the Patti Smith Group, and after the fall of communism, returned to Prague sing a Plastics song for Havel.
The 1976 arrest of the Plastic People on charges of being máničky, long-hairs, and for disturbing the peace through pop music led to Havel and others writing a petition to the authorities on injustice of the arrests, which became known as Charter 77. This was the moment when international politics was abuzz with the concept of universal "human rights," and Moscow had just signed the Helsinki Accords. Havel's petition appealed not against Communism but towards human rights, asking for something simple: live by the rules you signed on to, respect human rights. Free the Plastics.
Havel and others went to jail for the Charter. While imprisoned, he was only allowed to write once a week to his wife, fellow dissident Olga. Christopher Harwood, a lecturer on Czech culture and language at Columbia University, suggests that resulting collection, Letters to Olga is the best introduction to Havel's thinking because it is so clearly written, well translated, and articulates his philosophies as well as his doubts.
Catharine Nepomnyashchy, professor and chair of the Slavic Department at Barnard College, suggested that Charter 77 and what it stood for have as much relevance today as ever: "My nephew is a poet and he was arrested on the street in Moscow this month," she said on the phone last week, referring to the protests against the results of Russia's recent national election. On Christmas Eve, tens of thousands took to Moscow's streets once again.
Havel and other Charter 77 members founded the Communist-opposition Civic Forum party shortly after the protests began, and actors went on strike. Theaters across Czechoslovakia opened their doors to free public discussion. Students soon joined the strike as well. In less than a month the Communist president Gustáv Husák resigned, and before the year was out Havel had been elected president, which he would remain until 2003.
For Americans, President Havel was closely aligned with the Clintons, who said that they were "deeply saddened" to hear of Havel's death, calling him "a towering figure in the world of human rights and a force for progress in Eastern Europe." The Clintons were part of the American representatives at Havel's funeral. The two presidents were known to retire to Prague or New York jazz clubs after meetings, and once famously traded sax solos (although Havel was rustier than Clinton).
The 1990s began with a rush in Czechoslovakia as socialism disappeared from Eastern Europe. Immediately works of dissidents like Havel exploded into books, albums, and performances by thousands of small businesses joyous at the new freedom to print. But, as Gwen Orel, theater critic and expert on Czech alternative theater said, "by the mid-1990s these plays had lost their freshness."
It was a new reality to which dissident works could not speak, and Havel's works were replaced in Czech minds with thoughts of his somewhat ineffectual leadership. Havel as intellectual had become, by the late '90s, unfashionable.

Personal Injury Law
Personal Injury Law Questions? Ask Personal Injury Lawyers.
The answer to your question is that hospitals and medical providers will send a notice of lien for medical bills to most everyone filing a personal injury lawsuit. They have a subrogation right in most cases to recover their charges (or a substantial portion thereof). You need to send the hospital a copy of your disbursement sheet and the settlement agreement to show that if any money has not been paid it is the fault of the attorney. You are right to consider a disciplinary complaint against the attorney if these monies were mishandled. You may also need to refer the matter to the local authorities... theft is theft.
It is very strange that your attorney couldn't give you a full settlement amount figure. You need to review the settlement agreement, the satisfaction and release of liability, and the disbursement sheet to verify they agree as to amounts. However, this could be a simple paperwork issue that may end up resolved once your attorney gets his file. Stay on top of this matter and keep everything in writing.

The Briggs hit the streets of L.A. with a new single.
For a song entitled "Panic," The Briggs seem to be pretty on top of things. Well-lit performance footage? Check. Sweet tattoos? Yup. Adorable-but-dangerous dog chase sequence? All set. We bet they make a lot of to-do lists. The seminal L.A. punk band/Kings fans (yes, we're taking a late pass and jumping on the band's Stanley Cup bandwagon) shot the "Panic" video on their home turf, with singer Joey LaRocca walking by Echo Park institution House of Spirits before his canine encounter. If you're looking for a punk heartthrob (which, duh), he spends most of the video shirtless, shouting and showing off his ink. Also, either he looks oddly like Charlie Sheen, or we had too much tiger blood for breakfast.
The song's sandpaper-punk is energetic and fist-pump worthy: It's an ode to surviving your problems with a helping hand from playing rock music. "My salvation lies in every note/ so put my heart straight to my throat," LaRocca bellows in the chorus. Earlier, he's worried: "Panic makes all my decisions for me," he sings. This is probably a good idea given you're being attacked by a dog.
The release of "Panic" last month is the first we've heard from the band since 2008's Come All You Madmen, with The Briggs coming out of "hibernation," as LaRocca calls it, after taking some time off. With this track under their belts, it sounds like the band won't be heading back to sleep just yet.

What is the fastest way (if there is any other) to convert a std::vector from one datatype to another (with the idea to save space)? For example:
std::vector<unsigned short> ----> std::vector<bool>
we obviously assume that the first vector only contains 0s and 1s. Copying element by element is highly inefficient in case of a really large vector.
Conditional question: If you think there is no way to do it faster, is there a complex datatype which actually allows fast conversion from one datatype to another?

SHELBY - They chatted, stretched and prepared for the run ahead of them. The runners and walkers formed a small group. Their eyes forward. Margie Christopher, executive director for the Children�s Home of Cleveland County, extended one finger. She pointed in the race�s direction.
The patter of rubber soles echoed off the paved streets as the group ran and walked along the curved path.
More than 30 people participated in the inaugural Hog Happnin� 5K Marathon on Saturday morning. Teenagers, parents and even pets partook in the race that kicked off �The Week of the Child,� a collaborative effort of agencies supporting children in the county.
Volunteers from the annual barbecue competition, Connect, Commit to Change and the county�s children home organized the event.
Christopher said the marathon went beyond promoting a healthy activity for those involved.
�Honoring and recognizing children in our community. That�s what Week of the Child is about,� she said. �We�re pleased folks came out to join us.�
Some ran alone. Others ran in groups, making the marathon a family event. Around 36 runners and walkers crossed the marathon�s finish line Saturday morning. They applauded each other�s efforts in not only receiving awards for performance, but supporting efforts for children in need.
�We just want to place an emphasis on children,� Christopher said.
The Week of the Child events ends Nov. 3 at the city park with the barbecue competition and Connect, Commit to Change�s outreach to get the community involved with organizations in the county focused on aiding children in need. The Shelby Junior Charity League will host its holiday gift galleria in conjunction with the week at the LeGrand Center.
All proceeds benefit the county�s Children�s Home.
