Ever wanted to hop on a Harley-Davidson Iron 883 motorcycle and weave through gridlocked Manhattan streets? How about hitting the expanse of historic Route 66 while feeling your tires on the asphalt and the wind against your skin? Turns out you can—at least virtually.
Those scenarios are just two of the many available to players of the upcoming Ubisoft video game The Crew 2, an open-road racing adventure set to debut in March 2018. The game is one of the unconventional ways that Harley-Davidson, a 114-year-old legacy brand, is reaching out to millennials and women as it looks to broaden its consumer base beyond its core baby boomers.
The Crew 2 is "gender agnostic," and like its hit predecessor, The Crew—which has amassed 12 million players—is expected to appeal to young male and female gamers and potentially anyone with a passion for motor sports, said Stephane Jankowski, producer at Ubisoft's Ivory Tower Studio, which created the franchise.
"We used a lot of feedback from the community in developing the new game," Jankowski said. "We've taken a sandbox approach where players can create their own stories and ask themselves, 'What do I want to do today?'"

Just thinking about you today. I saw Ms. Jane the other day at the golf course. We talked about golf and, of course, you. I can't wait for May to come around so I can fly your flag on my bike again. It has been my honor to fly your flag for Ms. Jane in your memory for the past two years. I will continue to post it for as long as Ms. Jane will allow me to.
Keep a watchful eye on us. The world is falling apart and we have been put in charge of keeping it together. We need all the help we can get!
See you soon bro!

I have tried several times to put into words what you meant to me. As I began to write each time, I was overwhelmed with what your death did to me. You were so much a part of my world that when you left me, my world was turned upside down. Each time I wanted to quit and not go on, I heard your words telling me that I could do it. I can now say, after almost two years, that I can now do it. I still hear your words and feel your presence and know that the love we shared was more than either of us ever realized. I know that you are with God now and that you are no longer in pain or suffering. I miss you so much but I know that you are happy and walking on streets of gold. I'll always remember what you said about the vacation - I'll never forget. That's a promise.

Former Adelaide superstar Graham 'Stiffy' Johncock has today been unveiled as the newest public spokesperson for international condom brand Durex.
The fan favourite who wowed crowds with his daring run and physicality, said that he was privileged to take on the new role.
"I was shocked when my manager said that an opportunity had come up. If I was them I would have asked Brett Burton, although I'm not sure if Durex has products for that size and clientele."
Johncock said the move was natural for him in his post football career.
"I was silky with ball in hand. Durex products aren't too dissimilar. I loved taking things on straight down the middle. What better way to do that then with Durex."
When asked about whether he planned to boost sales by marketing to former teammates, Johncock wasn't coy.
"I've been trying to get Roo (Former Club Captain Mark Ricciuto) to use the bloody things for ages. The guy has six kids! But he insists that Andrew Fagan has him on a mandated breeding program."
More to come.

'A' is for 'Altdorf'... learn about the many provinces of the Empire!
This has nothing to do with this immediate thread but as soon as I saw it I thought 023! http://www.blacksunminiatures.co.uk/product/death/
I hate people who don't paint their armies, hate them with all my guts. Beats me how they value other things over painting, like eating or brushing teeth.
Everyone finds their balance between satisfaction and obsession.
Much of that background depends on what Orcs are. In LotR, they are broken elves - and so are, essentially, Dark Elves in the WFB setting. They can breed with humans - they are genetically compatible (although such terms would not be used, of course).If that is the case, then ostracized individuals could gather together and communities could grow up. Perhaps they breed prolifically.If Orcs are a fungoid/mammal symbiote, then a human being infected with the fungus could be a "half orc" and so the communities are the result of infection or eating particular things.It might also be that "half-orc" is less precise a term than we think - it could be a whole mis-mass of ostracized individuals of various kinds and lineages which band together for protection.
Individual army books gave more scope to develop the character of races and armies, with heavier stereotyping and less overlap.
A shame, because the Warhammer Armies book 023 uses is in many ways the zenith of Warhammer army design.

Miaskowski Inducted into International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame
By UCSF.edu | April 1, 2015
Christine Miaskowski, PhD, RN, the Sharon A. Lamb Endowed Chair in Symptom Management Research in the UCSF School of Nursing, is one of 19 nurse researchers being inducted into the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame by the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI).
Christine Miaskowski, PhD, RN
The induction ceremony will occur at STTI's 26th International Nursing Research Congress, July 23-27 in Puerto Rico. Representing Australia, Belgium, Canada and the United States, honorees will be presented with the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame award and participate in a conversation with STTI President Hester C. Klopper, PhD, MBA, RN.
An internationally recognized expert on pain and symptom management, Miaskowski has more than 300 peer-reviewed publications and received millions of dollars in funding from the National Institutes of Health.
"This research award, from nursing's premier international honor society, is not given to me," said Miaskowski, an American Cancer Society clinical research professor. "It is given to all of my faculty colleagues and superb staff who have been a part of my research teams, all of my students, and most important – to all of the patients who have participated in our research studies."

COVID-19 Coronavirus Updates and Guidance
The County is taking a number of actions to keep residents safe and minimize the spread of COVID-19. Find status information for County operations and services.
Baltimore County News
Action Will Preserve 23 Acres of Developable Land and Protect Local Waterways
Baltimore County Executive Don Mohler and 6th District Councilwoman Cathy Bevins announced the County's plans to preserve a significant parcel of environmentally sensitive land in Middle River to prevent development, thereby protecting water quality for local waterways and the Chesapeake Bay.
The County plans to acquire 23 acres, located on the southwest corner of Bengie's Road and Bourque Avenue, which is less than a mile from Dark Head Creek and Middle River, and is immediately adjacent to another 28 acres of open space owned by the State of Maryland. Program Open Space acquisition funds will be applied to reimburse the full $100,000 purchase price.
"Preserving rural lands is one of the most effective ways to protect the drinking water supplies for 2.6 million people in the Baltimore region, as well as the water quality of our streams and rivers that flow to the Chesapeake," Mohler said..
"I am always looking for sites around the district for Project Open Space," said Bevins. "I am thankful for the administration for purchasing this land. This is the latest in a long list of ways we have worked to improve the environment here in Middle River. From dredging the Bird River to preserving open space, I have worked hard to protect and improve the environment."
The property is zoned for medium-density residential development and has a recorded 20-lot subdivision. By purchasing this property from Windlass Woods, LLC., the County is guaranteeing its ability to serve as a filter for stormwater, protecting the water quality of Middle River and the Chesapeake Bay. It will be preserved as a forested refuge for wildlife, while offering scenic views in a growing area of the County, near the Baltimore Crossroads mixed-use development.
By Diana Creasy, Department of Economic & Workforce Development
Sitting along Maryland Route 43 in Middle River, Baltimore Crossroads is changing the economic landscape of eastern Baltimore County. One of the Mid-Atlantic's largest mixed-use communities, Baltimore Crossroads offers over 6,000,000 square feet of office, flex, warehouse and industrial space, along with a hotel, retail villages and luxury apartment homes.
Greenleigh at Crossroads, a development inside Baltimore Crossroads, is transforming how Baltimore County citizens are thriving, right in their own neighborhood. Conveniently located along the I-95 and I-695 corridor, Greenleigh at Crossroads is the largest "new urbanism" community in the County, with 1,500 single family homes, townhomes, and luxury apartments, all with easy access to the commercial properties on site. Offices, residences, shops and services are connected by a network of open spaces for more walking, and less driving, creating a more convenient, enjoyable place to live and work. A new, 120 room Marriott SpringHill Suites is now open, offering short and long-term stays for locals and visitors.
Stanley Black & Decker is adding 400 new jobs in Baltimore County to support the company's growing tool and storage division. The Fortune 500/S&P 500 company is investing $8.5 million to build-out new office space at Greenleigh at Crossroads, with workers already moving to their new Middle River offices.
When Baltimore Crossroads is fully built out, it is expected to attract 10,000 jobs. Stanley Black & Decker, Mary Sue Candies, Danfoss, Pevco, BGE HOME, Atlantic Design, Breakthru Beverage Maryland, and Synagro are just a few of the companies that already have brought jobs to Middle River.
The late Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz's vision was to turn vacant property zoned for development into an upscale mixed-use community to boost economic development and create jobs. With Greenleigh at Crossroads, developers St. John Properties and Somerset Construction are bringing that vision to reality.
We're working to provide you with a better experience, and want your feedback. Learn more about our project and give your feedback.

A student from Kings Mountain Intermediate School was one of hundreds of hopefuls in this year�s Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C.
Kamari Floyd, a fifth-grade student at KMIS, successfully made it to the third round of this year�s competition before being eliminated.
She was just one of 562 competitors to participate in this year�s bee, and one of only 270 to get there by winning a spelling bee.
�It was fun. I never thought I could make it this far,� said Floyd. �It was so diverse. I got to meet these people from around the world who all like the same things I do.�
After winning the county competition in February, she set to work studying a 600-word list of terms that could appear in the first few rounds of competition.
The National Spelling Bee started on Monday with a multiple-choice test before moving to elimination rounds on Tuesday. Floyd breezed her way through those first two rounds, clearing the test and successfully spelling �Gothamite,� an informal descriptor for residents of New York, or residents of the fictional city that plays home to Batman.
Floyd was eliminated from competition on Wednesday when she made a mistake spelling �aggressor,� which had been pulled from a dictionary.
�It was much harder to study for the dictionary words,� she said. �So I really focused on the 600-word list.�
Despite being eliminated, both Floyd and her mother, Whitney Staton, are proud of her results. Floyd failed to even win her school spelling bee last year. To make her way not only past that, but through a regional event and onto a national stage is a big deal.
�I�m just so proud of her. Even if she didn�t win, just to get this far, to say she made the national is so great,� said Staton. �I think it really showed her she can do anything she puts her mind to.�
After being eliminated, Floyd and Staton stayed in Maryland for the rest of the day Wednesday. They will return to Kings Mountain on Thursday.

Excellent Weight loss plan For Abs
Do you wish to know the rules of a eating regimen for abs? Are you trying to develop a six pack? Do you know that altering your consuming habits is as essential as ? This text will take a look at six methods you'll be able to eating regimen for abs.
Any eating regimen for abs will start with consuming extra fiber. You should eat at the very least 25 grams of fiber a day to ditch the stomach fats. Some researchers have even mentioned that 35 grams is perfect. Fiber is the indigestible components of fruits, greens and entire grains.
The majority issue of fiber is sort of a sponge when it combines with the water in your digestive monitor, it soaks up every thing. Excessive fiber meals additionally fill you up, so you might be unlikely to overeat. Lastly, there's the chew issue. Excessive fiber meals simply take longer to eat. This enables your abdomen to sign your mind that you're full earlier than you stuff your self.
The following technique is to decide on a smart quantity of high quality carbs. One of the best eating regimen for abs could have 45 to 65 p.c of the energy from carbs. However this doesn't imply a variety of Twinkies. Vegatables and fruits have carbs in them, however they're the prime quality ones.
Carbohydrates break down into glucose. That is saved as glycogen within the muscle tissue and liver. When glycogen is saved, it carries with it 3 times its personal weight as water. Fats and protein carry no weight. This is the reason individuals who go on no carb diets like Adkins can initially drop some pounds so shortly. They're actually simply dropping water. That's the reason you dont wish to go above 65% carbs in your eating regimen.
Nonetheless, you wish to have at the very least 45 p.c carbs in your eating regimen for abs. It's best to concentrate on balanced consuming. For greatest outcomes, eat at the very least three to 5 servings of veggies (15-25 grams of carbs); two to 4 servings of fruit (30-60 grams of carbs) and about 1 cup (eight ounces cooked or 2 ounces dry, or 2 slices of bread) of entire grains per day.
Subsequent, you must drink your water. Many individuals mistakenly consider that consuming a variety of water will trigger them to bloat. In actual fact, the alternative is true. Ingesting water will flush your physique of sodium. The water shall be eradicated naturally. However when it takes the salt in your system with it, it would really cut back bloating.
However, dont drink fizzy drinks akin to soda. Thats as a result of pop and spritzers enhance bloating. The carbon dioxide trapped within the bubbles creates fuel, which slows down abdomen emptying. Additionally, restrict your consumption of alcohol and caffeine. Each are pure diuretics, which enhance fluid loss and do not substitute your physique fluids as successfully as water or juice.
The following tip on our eating regimen for abs is to look at the sodium. You solely want about 500 grams of sodium a day, however most individuals get between 3000 and 6000 grams within the trendy eating regimen. That is simply an excessive amount of. Processed meals and restaurant meals are the primary culprets. Attempt to eat at residence by getting ready your individual meals extra.
Attempt to eat mild at evening. Your largest meal must be breakfast. A average lunch ought to observe at midday. Your night meal must be the smallest of the day. And, after dinner, shut the kitchen.
Lastly, attempt to cut back your stress if you're on a eating regimen for abs. Stress triggers cortisol which is a hormone that causes you to deposit fats across the organs in your stomach. Exercising and deep respiration rest methods may help you to relax out.
In case you are attempting to free the stomach, do this eating regimen for abs.

Apologies for the lack of posts recently, my PC blew up, literally smoke billowing out of thee back, and as such I've been without the means I'd usually use to post.
So the mini
As most people who know me I am a bit of a gamer and an amateur collector of video games and hardware, with a focus on the PS1 which was the big computer of my youth. The collection I currently have, which while it's no t massive, is quite substantial (320 original PAL games) and as such I feel that I am well placed to discuss the device.
Honestly I don't have problem with the PS mini or infact any mini console, I've played and owned a number of them. As a collector of games this could go one of a few ways in my opinion.
Firstly and most likely is that it will have little to no impact on me/us, the minis will appeal to a different demographic, the people buying these are not the people buying retro games.
Next it could be a good thing, people who buy this will sell their retro games or they will remember they have them and decided that they should sell them, especially as the chances are that the unit will have a HDMI port which the old console don't, at best you have a RGB/scary but you'll likely have an RF cable.
Lastly it could be a bad thing, people who buy this will sell their retro games or they will remember they have them and decided that they should sell them, yes this is the same a the last point but when people sell their collections they could drive the prices down (yay) or more likely up (boo).
Finally let's look at the value, a second hand PS1 will cost you no more than £10 of your English pounds, anything more and you're being had over, I have 6 I can't sell at £10 each.
Next the games:
- Battle Arena Toshinden (£2)
- Cool Boarders 2 (£2)
- Destruction Derby (£5)
- Final Fantasy VII (£8)
- Grand Theft Auto (£4)
- Intelligent Qube (£20 – need to research this more as it seems overpriced)
- Jumping Flash! (£10)
- Metal Gear Solid (£10)
- Mr. Driller (£20)
- Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (£8)
- Rayman (£3)
- Resident Evil Director's Cut (£16)
- Revelations: Persona (£90 – first time PAL release)
- Ridge Racer Type 4 (£4)
- Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (£15)
- Syphon Filter (£4)
- Tekken 3 (£5)
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (£2)
- Twisted Metal (£30)
- Wild Arms (£15)
So is this good value for money, absolutely. The games above easily out value the price (my prices are based on what people have actually paid on eBay in the past week-month) of £90 as well as the opportunity to play Persona which never made it to the UK.

This week in JBoss (30th December 2016): A disturbance in the forcePosted by kpeeples Dec 31, 2016
This has been a tough year for the passing of some great actors and actresses. On December 27th "Princess Leia" passed away, and her mom, Debbie Reynolds, passed away the day after. I was 9 years old when Star Wars came out and have enjoyed the movie franchise since the moment I saw Carrie Fisher. About 30 years separated the releases of Return of the Jedi and the Force Awakens, but it was well worth the wait. I think Mark Hamill said it perfectly, Carrie was one-of-a-kind who belonged to us all- whether she liked it or not. She was OUR Princess, darn it, & the actress who played her blurred into one gorgeous, fiercely independent & ferociously funny, take-charge woman who took our collective breath away. Determined & tough, but with a vulnerability that made you root for her & want her to succeed & be happy. Carrie will be in Episode VIII and it will be interesting to see how they handle her absence in Episode IX. Carrie, Thanks for taking our breath away on and off the big screen!

text: BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Steve Harvey said President Donald Trump is a man of his word… at least as far as he's concerned. "As far as doing what he promised me, he's doing it," Harvey told TMZ. He said what he discussed with Trump back in January, he is currently doing work with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. "You know, I'm working with HUD. I'm going to get some housing for underprivileged people. We're gonna set up some centers around the country," he said. Upon hearing this news, Congresswoman Maxine Waters unloaded on Harvey. "Who does he think he is helping Trump?" she began. "If black communities experience improvement across the nation, I will personally hold him responsible! Plus I'll encourage every African-American to boycott all of his shows to protest this unforgivable betrayal of his own people!"


text: Stress can make you fat. Why? It's biological. When your life is filled with stress and anxiety, your body produces high levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and British researchers have discovered there is a link between cortisol and excess weight. Cortisol is triggered when you experience the "flight-or-fight" response to danger. And while it's helpful in short doses when real and sudden danger occurs, it is harmful when it is present in the body for long periods of time. The study found that those with higher cortisol levels tended to have larger waist circumferences, which was defined as more than 40 inches for men and more than 35 inches for women, as well as higher BMIs and body fat. In addition, higher levels of cortisol were linked to a higher risk of being obese for both men and women. Important caveat: Although the study found an association between cortisol and obesity, it did not prove a cause-and-effect link. But it is likely that a high level of stress leads some people to overeat as a way to compensate and that causes the excess weight gain.

I was recently convinced by a street marketer to sign up for a CIMB credit card. I understood that I would get a 3.8 per cent cash rebate when I use the card at certain home furnishing and electrical appliances merchants.
After waiting for more than two weeks, I received the card. However, there was no list of retailers where I could enjoy the rebate.
CIMB's customer service officer was able to give me only a list of merchant codes. But when I inquired with merchants like Courts, Harvey Norman and Challenger, they were not able to tell me their merchant codes.
CIMB should provide cardholders with a list of retailers from which they can get the rebates. Cardholders should not have to depend on luck in order to pick the right retailers.

Actress Courteney Cox wants to have a baby with Johnny McDaid!
The 53-year-old told New Beauty magazine, "I would love to have a baby now. I mean, I could carry someone else's egg. I may be one of the older people doing it, but I would love to, with Johnny that is."
Cox, the mother of Coco, 12, with ex-husband David Arquette, insisted, "I know it's crazy, but I would."
Courtney also gushed over her younger man, Johnny, who is 40.
She explained, "Well, he's younger than me, and with any other guy that would be the hardest thing in the world, but looks are not that important to him or his family. External beauty isn't even on his radar. I used to worry about the age difference, but I don't think it matters. He appreciates beauty, but it's deeper than that. It's deeper for me, too, but luckily I find him gorgeous and extremely sexy."
Speaking of beauty, the "Friends" alum said she is loving her natural look these days.
"I've had all my fillers dissolved," she said. "I'm as natural as I can be. I feel better because I look like myself. I think that I now look more like the person that I was. I hope I do. Things are going to change. Everything's going to drop. I was trying to make it not drop, but that made me look fake. You need movement in your face, especially if you have thin skin like I do. Those aren't wrinkles — they're smile lines. I've had to learn to embrace movement and realize that fillers are not my friend."

When you've produced task folder, we have to manage to track exactly just how it changes as time passes and also to share it with collaborators. Though file-synchronization tools such as for instance Dropbox, Bing Drive, and OneDrive are generally utilized for this task, they introduce a complete large amount of extra upkeep expenses that people wish to avoid. For example, it is very hard to collaborate making use of such services— conflicting edits are usually used with choice simply to whichever edits happened final, which makes it an easy task to accidently lose important edits. Similarly, it is difficult to glance at a supply file and realize why a set that is particular of ended up being made, such that it's again too simple to inadvertently undo edits from collaborators.

btw, what fantasy planet do you live on? I'm asking because, you see, we here on what we call earth--you know, the real world--realize that what brooklyn1948 experienced was blatant racism.In your world any time any one from one race is mean to anyone from any other race, the only motivation can be racism.Why are white people sometimes mean to other white people? Is it because the Irish hate the English? and the French hate Itialans? Maybe it has to do with the fact that they other one prays at the wrong church.

WHERE THERE IS RACISM, THERE CAN BE NO JUSTICE: Amnesty International releases new report
The report is a contribution to the UN World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance due to be held in Durban, South Africa, between 30 August and 7 September 2001.
'Racism is a blot on humanity that infects virtually every country in the world. Governments must pro-actively tackle racism and ensure that justice is administered on the basis of human rights for all,' said Amnesty International.
Racism unchecked can lead to large scale tragedies. The world looked on in horror when in just 13 weeks up to a million people were massacred in Rwanda in 1994. Most of those killed were Tutsi.
But what rarely catches the headlines are the abuses that take place everyday in the administration of justice partly or solely because of racism. In most countries racism can only be identified by looking at patterns of arrest, conviction and sentencing in relation to the racial background of the defendant, victim or administrators of justice.
In the USA, studies have consistently indicated that race - particularly of the murder victim - is a key factor in determining who is sentenced to death. Blacks and whites are the victims of murder in almost equal numbers, yet more than 80 per cent of prisoners executed since 1977 were convicted for the murder of a white person.
Police and the judiciary are involved in what has been called India's 'hidden apartheid'. Over 160 million Dalits, formerly known as 'untouchables', are vulnerable to a whole range of human rights abuses because of their caste almost all of which go uninvestigated and unpunished.
At a conference last year an elderly Dalit man recalled how his wife, daughter and two sons were burned alive, along with three others, when members of the of a dominant Hindu upper caste set fire to three huts belonging to Dalit families. His eldest son, the first graduate from the village, had been murdered two years earlier also by caste Hindus. All the Dalits in the village had fled and none wanted to return home as they believed the police would not protect them.
'All over the world the connection between racism and brutality by state officials is clear. In many countries ethnic minorities often suffer harassment, ill-treatment and torture at the hands of police. They then go on to face unfair trials, discriminatory sentencing and harsh punishments, including the death penalty ' Amnesty International said.
Ethnic minorities are likely to face discrimination wherever they live. In the UK the police were found to have been negligent in their response to racist attacks. The Kurdish community in Turkey are not recognised in law and publicly referring to 'the Kurdish people' can lead to a prison sentence. Across Europe, Roma people are commonly viewed as criminals and subjected to beatings.
An estimated 300 million indigenous peoples still face discrimination in almost every aspect of their lives and many are targeted for other grave human rights abuses. Their vulnerability is enhanced by a lack of state protection.
In Honduras in recent years, police have harassed indigenous people determined to protect their rights. The government has signed several agreements with indigenous leaders but still the protection is inadequate. Over the last decade, some 25 indigenous community leaders have been killed as a result of their campaigning.
In Australia, Aborigines continue to suffer economic disadvantage, social disruption and systemic discrimination. In 1997 an Aboriginal woman complained to Northern Territory police that she had been raped by two men. The police detained her for failure to appear in court on a minor charge. Although a doctor confirmed she was a rape victim, she was taken to court in the rain, and locked in an uncovered cage on the back of a police van. Police officers reportedly justified her treatment on the grounds that it was better care than in her 'primitive' Aboriginal community home.
Around the world, foreigners, including migrant workers and asylum seekers, live in xenophobic environments, sometimes stirred up by the authorities and almost always reflected in the administration of justice. Increasingly asylum seekers are being detained for months or years while their claims for protection are examined.
In December 2000, a 31-year-old Iraqi national committed suicide in al-Rafha refugee camp in the northern desert of Saudi Arabia where he had been living since the early 1990s. He was one of 5,000 people who have been held in the camp since the end of the Gulf War.
From the outset, the Saudi Arabian authorities referred to them as 'guests', refusing to consider them as refugees even though the constitution stipulates that 'The state shall grant political asylum, if so required by the public interest...' Most of the original 33,000 men, Women's rights's rightss rights's rights's rights's rights and Children's rights have been resettled by the United Nations.
The Amnesty International report calls on all governments to adopt national plans of action to combat racism and to include specific measures relating to the administration of justice. The report makes several recommendations, including: ensure that national laws prohibit all forms of discrimination; investigate allegations of racist abuses by justice officials; and ensure that policing operations are not discriminatory.
'Racism, however, is not confined to the institution of the state. It can be found at any level of civil society. The responsibility for combatting racism therefore extends to everyone.'
Amnesty International is issuing this report as concerns mount that political disputes may derail the World Conference against Racism. Much of the preparations for the conference have been marred by a failure to reach agreement over how to deal with the legacy of slavery and colonialism, with insufficient attention being given to addressing the various and widespread forms of contemporary racism.
'The world must recognize the wrongs of the past as a way to better understand the present and move forward towards a future free from the evil of racism,' Amnesty International said. 'Governments must not allow the World Conference to fail. It is too important an opportunity for making a breakthrough against racism and providing hope to countless people worldwide.'

But the nuns decided we should pay a monthly fee of Rs20.00 apart from the facilities fees towards their tutoring. So it came to be that during the end of the year term test, those who did not pay the monthly fees were asked to stand outside the principal's office and not sit the exam until the fees were paid. Now my younger sister who also was in the same class as myself (don't ask me why I was in the same class as my sister) decided to join those outside as a mark of protest and solidarity with those who did not pay although she had coaxed my reluctant father to pay the fees.
(My father was a paranoid case who thought teachers were out to fleece him out of his last cent and that were the teachers capable of imparting sound education then they should not be asking us to buy new books every year. His theory was that second hand books were good enough and if necessary we could hot-foot it to the public library for reference.)
Sam entered the classroom and began the test. Suddenly he noticed half the class were missing and wanted to know where the rest of the students were. I stood up and replied that they were outside the principal's office for not paying his fees. Sam said he did not charge and that his lessons were free.
Subsequently the embarrassed principal waived the fees.
It is the right of the university students to stage protests when the authorities use heavy-handed tactics such as suppression of one's liberties. UC Berkeley in California became famous for its demonstrations against suppression of free speech, racism, compulsory drafting and the Vietnam War which the US waged on flimsy grounds in the '60s.
UC Berkeley students adhered to the popular antinomianism, a concept that members of a particular religious group are not obliged to obey the laws of ethics or morality presented by religious authorities and subsequently followed by secular bodies.
The series of riots which erupted at Berkeley Campus changed the course of the political process of successive US congresses and compulsive drafting came to an end and Black Americans were given opportunities to enter managerial position through student protest
by the Black Panther Party.
Udul Premaratne's arrest is the latest example of our police state interfering in the democratic rights of university students who strove hard to enter the prestigious seats of higher learning and therefore very enlightened individuals with independent thinking. The authorities have no right treat them like Montessouri kids and discipline their thoughts and actions be they lustful, dreamy or downright reactionary.
Someone in this blog alerted that Sri Lanka is following in the footsteps of China, its latest comrade in arms, and is paving way for another Tiannemen revolt. There could be excesses among university undergraduates such as bullying in the name of ragging which needs firm disciplining but there is no way the state can interfere in student demos and handing out pamphlets when they feel their rights are violated.
First the government goes to the jugular of the media and now university undergrads. What next? The Rajapakse government thinks it can party till the cows come home and dictate to its citizens on how to conduct themselves not realizing it is sowing the seeds of discontent for a greater uprising than it has seen in the 30 year old war.
Strangely some media organs are actively supporting the government's stand against the student protestors and even justify the arrest of University students' convenor Udul Premaratne. I suppose it is hard for the government to shirk off its hands which are customarily used to exerting threats, arrests, intimidation and extra-judicial killings and it found the right scapegoats in university students.

The Difference Between Roasting and Braising
Roasting chicken in the oven There is a big difference between roasting and braising. The two may be different, but both can be done in the oven. You can roast our food or simply braise it. It is important...
There is a big difference between roasting and braising. The two may be different, but both can be done in the oven. You can roast our food or simply braise it. It is important to know the difference and how they will both make a great meal.
Braising is when you sear the meat to lock in flavor and juices. After you have seared the meat, you can make a braising sauce with the brown bits in the pan. Here are some steps for a simple braise that can be used for pork, venison, chicken, or beef:
- Simply sear your meat in the roasting pan with oil or butter. Season your meat well with seasonings you choose, while the pan is heating up. Use salt and pepper, or use your favorite season.
- Once the outside of the meat is browned, set it aside and put about a cup of water in the pan. Do not cut into to the meat, the juices will escape.
- The water will immediately pull all of the flavor off the bottom of the pan. Add some balsamic vinegar or/and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cook the meat in the braising sauce on about 400 degrees in the roasting pan.
- Baste the meat a few times, and cook until it literally falls apart.
- You can add root veggies to the braising sauce while it cooks too.
Roasting can also lock in flavor, but allows for more of the juices to flow into the pan or surrounding veggies (no braising sauce, just juices). Roasting is an easier technique than braising for a beginner cook. Both are very tasty and easy to do.
Here is how you roast meat:
- Take the roasting pan and put a bit of oil in the bottom.
- Layer your meat and vegetables that you want to cook. For example, you can layer beef roast with tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and carrots to make a pot roast. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and seasoning salt for that authentic pot roast taste.
- Bake at 400 degrees with the roasting pan lid on the roaster. Cook until everything is done and very fork tender.
- You may want to remove the lid in the last 30 minutes for chicken or other meat that you want to get brown on top.
Braising or roasting, both can be easily done and turn out tasty! For roasting/braising pans visit our website! There you will also find cooking advice and other tasty recipes.

Soldiers brutalize Jos residents celebrating election victory
OAP, Lukman Bello of Unity FM in Jos, Plateau state, has accused the military men in the state of attacking residents that were celebrating election victory in the Yan Trailer and Dutse Uku axis of the state yesterday March 23rd.
OAP, Lukman Bello of Unity FM in Jos shared photos of the battered residents on his Facebook page and wrote;
I think the STF of the Nigerian Army (Operation Safe Haven )operating in Jos should please watch it so they don't on their own cause crisis in Jos especially in Tina Junction, Yan Trailer and Dutse Uku axis.
Imagine: Youths in Yan Trailer were celebrating election victory yesterday blasting music and dancing in euphoria ; without infringing on any body's right, the military using their military bikes stormed the place, beat people up, wounded most of them including the ladies and destroyed the public address.
They also stormed people's shops beating traders , removing their clothes and forcing them to lock their shops. Many of the victims were rushed to the hospital. Is this security or brigandage?

Horse riding in Blue Gum Park
Other than the de-pasturing of horses (in Park 6) and racing at Victoria Park (Park 16) few horse activities seem to have taken place on the Park Lands between the First World War and about 1950.
After 1950 there was a revival in equestrian activities.
In 1951 the Horse Riding Clubs Association of SA was granted a small ground for its pursuits in Blue Gum Park / Kurangga, east of the South Park Bowling Club. However, by the 1980s most of its horse activities at this site, had been phased out.
Horse racing at nearby Victoria Park ended in 2008. This building once used by the Horse Riding Clubs Association of SA is now home to the Petanque club, near where we started our walk.

Does anybody have an answer?
"I plugged in my Barcode scanner but my barcode scanner does not show up yet it installed correctly. How do i get it to identify my scanner? It is a Metrologic Instruments "Focus", MS1690 issued to me by IBM.
I would like to build a database of barcode data for groceries and supplements. It seems there would be three main parts. 1. scan the codes 2. lookup the codes to get the text data, etc. 3. store the data and codes in a database.
Am I mistaken, of does this program only do the first task? Anyone know of a program that does all three? It would be nice if the scanner was on my Android phone and would sync with the database on my Win10 computer.
I guessed that the name for registration was
and used that with the registration key included.
It seemed to work although I could be wrong!
well I scanned my bit of shopping but was disappointed with the lack of control over the image. That said I finally got a decent scan and it interpreted the lines (ordinary bar-code) into numerals but I searched high and low and although connected to the WWW it didn't tell me what the product was. I had to google the number to find out. Surely that facility would not have been difficult to implement.
Would have loved to see a picture of the product in question too.
Ah well.
Its a fun toy, I guess.
Terry e,
What you ask for is actually extremely difficult.
There are billions and billions of products and most barcodes are NOT unique to a specific product. At most, they are unique to a brand though. But even that is not a garantuee.
Also, not all codes (eg: EAN) for products are listed publically. And there is not a single worldwide database for all of them.
So, yes, it is extremely difficult to search for such codes.
You could google a number, and if you do that with lots of them you will soon see that, although you might eventually find the product it corresponds to via some vendor's site which listed the product together with the 'official' barcode, you will need to search lots of websites (but that is what google is good for I guess)....
Please excuse my ignorance, but what helpful information would you get from reading a barcode?
Bill Michalek, if you have smartphones you will realize how useful those codes are especially qr because it can contains from a simple text info, contact info, GPS coordinate, URL, discount coupon code, product description, etc that you can use right away with only focus your phone camera for a sec on the code, this kind of code became popular since its done without type anything so typo mistake almost zero except for the code creator, regardless this Reader is for PC so the versatility of this kind of software a bit decreased but still useful for some people
that doesn't sound like you're taking your computer around and using the webcam to read codes.
You are talking about smartphones that are ore portable than a laptop or a desktop.
It would still be usefull for the same reasons!
Such bar codes can be seen on various site en when you're surfing on your PC, it might come in handy to use such a tool instead of taking your smart phone, go to the same page you were on on your PC, get the code, copy code back to PC, etc, etc, etc.
Other uses might be decoding the barcodes from scanned documents, etc...
The uses are actually endless.
Of course, that is, if you're familiar with such codes and have used them before (or if you're developping your own).
If you've never heared of QR-codes than such software is not for you (but that also doesn't make it useless for others)
Bill Michalek,
You'd be surprised what info is contained in barcodes (not only in QR-codes, but many 2D and 3D barcodes, especially from postal services).
Spoiler alert if you're a privacy buff: many codes from postal services contain your full name and address. Many But since such codes are not human readable, many people just toss them in the trash...... yet they often contain many personal private info.
Barcode Reader does not automatically select
decoding method of barcode but user himself
must GUESS which of about 35 decoding modes in menu
he should choose
You have to guess which of the 35 decoding methods you should choose in the menu during DECODE and after several attempts get the digit code
but you get NO explanations for what the numbers mean -
not Manufacturer Number, not Item Number - absolutely nothing
What is the meaning of this software?
Many codes are only meaningfull to the vendor.
They are NOT unique (hence you can make your own too).
So, for a program to tell you what they actually mean would be pure magic.
Now, there are codes like EAN-codes which should officially have a specific meaning though. But even those are NOT garantueed to be unique per product.
Anybody in the world can (and often will) use the same code for different things.
I actually have a handheld bar code scanner. It's stored in the garage now. I used to use it to scan barcodes on books for a library software program, but I may have to drag it back out for this. And given that one can use this program to scan bar codes from various sources (web cams, images, etc.), it sounds like a great program. I'm going to try it.
Seems like a lot of hard work to read a code. my phone does it instantly. im sure someone will have a use for it but not for me
Once again a non-commercial sample program of Bytescout SDK with zero functional differnce between the always freeware download and the business license presented as a giveaway to qualify for them to get a share of ad revenue form GAOTD project.
Very strange Where is the programme ?
I downloaded, up came GiveawayOftheDay Installer
(never seen that one before)
Usually there just come a normal installing programme
unzipped the zipfile and clicked setup.exe
GOTD responded: Activated and showed the code
(same as in readme.txt)
Then came a werfault.exe never seen that one before
clicked, nothing happened
Nothing downloaded nor installed
checked c:\program files (x86) and c:\program files
What on Earth happened here ?

This 'easy to use' program can read the standard QR codes but it was impossible to use a QR code that used a light-blue color (instead of the 'normal' black that is used). Of course I tested the QR codes before using Barcode Reader 10.4.5. Something I couldn't see is how to remove text (via the software, not via notepad or other software) that was added in the export: I made a QR code with only my phone number but in the text 'tel:' was added before the number. Since this software is on a normal computer it's still usable but many people have smartphones now: scanning on those devices would mean people could call me instantly. Well, nothing to worry about.
Then that is not this program's fault, but the fault of the program you made your QR with!
QR-codes can have special types, like telephone numbers, or URLs, besides pure text. Those types of QR-codes make it so that when you scan them the scanner will automatically call (in case of a telephone number) or visit the site (in case of an URL), etc...
So, if you make a QR-code with your telephone number AND you do NOT want other scanners to automatically call you when the code is scanned with them, you need to make absolutly sure that the prefix tel: is NOT added. In other words: that you make a pure text QR code without any prefixes.
Many (cheap, badly made) QR-code generators will automatically pute the tel: prefix in front of the telephone number when you select "I want to enter a telephone number".... So make sure you don't use such generator, or that you disable that function. Only in that way you can make a pure text QR-code and when that code gets scanned, a decent scanner will simply show you the text (your telephone number in this case) and NOT do anything automatically (which can be a HUGE security risk because you NEVER know for sure what the QR-code contains just by looking at it... it could be a malicious URL for example...)
So, bottom line: if the tel: prefix is there when you scanned the code, it means it was put there by the code-generator, not the code-reader.
GOTD or someone please explain how to
read barcodes FROM my computer with Barcode Reader installed ??
Normally you need a special scanner
to read barcodes
no computer has such scanner installed
Should one have to buy a special scanner and which one?
And how connect it to computer to use Barcode Reader?
Cyberina, this is on description....
"(...)The program also reads barcodes from live web camera (...)"....
Cyberina, after installing and registering and clicking on "Acquire Image" it asked me "which device do you want to use", since my iPhone just happened to be plugged into a USB port it asked me if I wanted to use "Apple iPhone".
Meh, I then plugged in my Barcode scanner and tried again but my barcode scanner does not show up yet it installed correctly. How do i get it to identify my scanner? It is a Metrologic Instruments "Focus", MS1690 issued to me by IBM.
You can read a barcode from an image file stored on your computer. Say you have a PNG image file of a common QR code. Just import the image into the program and it will translate the QR code into whatever it contains for you to see.
You can take a picture of the bar code with your phone or other digital camera and then upload the photo to your computer where this program will read the bar code from the photo.
Also, if you have a printer with a scanner built-in, as many of them do, you can just scan the document with the bar code on it and then save the scan to your computer as a JPG file, then again use this program to read the bar code from it.
And as the others mentioned, if you have a "web cam" on your computer, you hold up the document with the bar code on it in front of the camera and this program will read the bar code from the camera.
why would I have a png image file of a common QR code on my computer?
Seems like a lot of trouble to go if you have these codes.
Why not just use your phone to read the code in the first place? Done!
Instead of taking a photo, uploading it to your computer , run the program, tell it where the image file is located, click on it and hope that it can read it.
You take 5 steps to use this on your computer but only one step to use the phone to read it immediately
This program is NOT meant to be used with a real barcode scanners!
A real hardware barcode scanner has software BUILD IN to read and decode bar codes. A real bar code scanner outputs readable text already (it simulates a keyboard).
(and others who upvoted your comment)
You completely and utterly miss the point and purpose of such programs like this.....
That of course is assuming you HAVE a phone with a QR or barcode app on it.
As unusual as it might seem, not everyone does have a smartphone in their pockets.
This program gives anyone who doesn't have access to a smartphone a solution for reading barcodes. It might take a few extra steps, but it DOES make it possible to do.

Picon Pie
by Les Gutman
If you have to ask this question, you are probably not part of the target audience for this loving examination of Molly Picon (Barbara Minkus). If you know who she is, and what she represents, you may well be inclined to take someone who doesn't with you to see it.
Molly Picon was one of the leading stars of Second Avenue, when it was known as the Yiddish Broadway. She was also, I think it is fair to say, the only one who attained a high degree of cross-over (that is, mainstream) attention. This bio-play, with music, documents her many successes and failures, both professional and personal. Her life is also of interest because it spans virtually all of the 20th Century, including her coming of age around the time of the First World War, living through the Depression and witnessing the Second World War from build-up to aftermath. Molly's life in the public eye waned over thirty years ago, after the illness and subsequent death of her husband and manager, Yonkel (Stuart Zagnit). Consequently, her popular familiarity is at least a couple of generations removed.
Picon Pie presents a fairly comprehensive journey through Molly's experiences, with its subject as tourguide. Often, it has the feel of the typical one-person show, but the enterprise is enhanced by the addition of the terrific Stuart Zagnit, principally as Yonkel but also in a variety of other characters. Typically, as Ms. Minkus starts telling us of an experience, it bleeds into a scene with Zagnit, frequently also shifting into song.
Both actors are infectious. Minkus, who bears a resemblance to the petite Picon both in looks and stature, is quite convincing. She has a fine, strong singing voice, and though blatant nostalgia is the order of the day in the script for this show, she almost magically rises above it. Zagnit is a perfect match, and together they are quite charming. The songs benefit from the live accompaniment of Carl Danielsen and Margot Leverett.
Matthew Maraffi's set is simple but more than adequate, as are Laura Frecon's costumes. (A trunk upstage center permits Ms. Minkus to transition from one to another, as called for, without leaving the stage.) Heather Layman's lights also serve the show well, though I should note that at the preview performance I attended, many of the light cues were a tad behind the actors, such that they repeatedly walked into shadows that were then illuminated. I am assuming this is a kink that will be worked out shortly, and not a (bad) design choice.
The downfall of the piece is in playwright Rose Goldemberg's predictable play. Although she should be credited for including enough Yiddish in the show to satisfy those who understand (and perhaps yearn for) it, without losing the English-speaking audience along the way, the content is strikingly unimaginative. This is a particular disappointment because we learn enough to know that a nuanced impression of Molly Picon would have been fascinating. Here, her conversation is so generic that I found myself waiting for the next song. In those songs especially, Minkus and, when given the chance, Zagnit, do brilliantly what the play itself does not.

hi all,
got a little problem. i\'m working on a pocket pc game and have to use a tracker to produce .mod files. actually, let me take a step back. i have to port a game to this platform, and take the original midi file and convert them to .mod files one way or another. i\'m doing this all on a pc running win 98
what i\'ve done so far is used a converter program to produce a .xm file from a midi file (work fine). but the player that this game uses needs a .mod file. so does anyone know of a program that will convert from .xm to .mod. or will go from midi to .mod.
it seems like the .mod files are created on amiga systems...or am i really blind and missing something? what i really don\'t want to do is have to start from scratch and create a .mod file and not ulitilize the original midi file. and i haven\'t seen any windows program that saves as . mod files
sorry for the non giga subject...but i\'m really stuck.
thanks for any help/
