As the aftermath of the Asian Tsunami continues to devastate the region, the people of Aceh in Indonesia have paid the heaviest price with some 94,000 feared dead. But human rights activists and aid groups accuse the Indonesian military of holding up aid to the most needy because of its war against the province. We'll talk to a human rights activist from Aceh and veteran activist and journalist Allan Nairn. [includes rush transcript]
As the confirmed death toll from the Asian Tsunami continues to rise to nearly 140,000, much of the world's attention is focused on the Indonesian province of Aceh, where the overwhelming majority of that country's 94,000 deaths have occured. Secretary of State General Colin Powell announced that he will visit Aceh on his tour of the devestation in the region, accompanied by Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Here is Colin Powell speaking on NBC's Meet the Press.
- Secretary of State Colin Powell
Despite the grave situation in Aceh, Humanitarian officials and human rights groups say the Indonesian military is actively preventing aid from being distributed. On Saturday, several aid groups and non-governmental organizations held a protest calling on control of the aid distribution to be taken out of the hands of the Indonesian military. The military took control of the airport warehouse, where goods are received from relief flights and stored until they can be distributed around Banda Aceh and other devestated towns. With its control of outgoing supplies, the military has complete power in determining where scarce trucks head with their precious cargoes. The Indonesian government"s senior disaster response coordinator, Alwi Shihab, announced Sunday that he had appointed Maj. Gen. Ambang Dharmono to take command of immediate relief efforts.

AMY GOODMAN: This is Colin Powell's speaking Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press.
COLIN POWELL: We're going to be meeting with the countries in the region and international organizations at work in the region to see what more we can do to assist with the relief effort. It one of the most massive relief efforts mounted in response to one of the worst catastrophes that the world has seen. I'll go to Thailand, Bangkok and Phuket where a lot of life was lost and down to Jakarta, Indonesia and out to Aceh, which is the place where we have seen the greatest loss of life. I will be participating in international conference in Jakarta, Indonesia on the 6th of January with Kofi Annan and a number of other leaders. I hope to get to Sri Lanka on the way out.
AMY GOODMAN: Colin Powell, speaking on Meet the Press Sunday. Despite the grave situation in Aceh, humanitarian officials and human rights groups say the Indonesian military is actively preventing aid from being distributed. On Saturday aid groups and non-governmental organizations held a protest calling on control of the aid distribution to be taken out of the hands of the Indonesian military. The military took control of the airport warehouse where goods are received from relief flights and stored until they can be distributed. Around Banda Aceh and other devastated towns. With the control of outgoing supplies, the military has complete power in determining where scarce trucks head with their precious cargo. The Indonesian government's senior disaster response coordinator Alwi Shihab announced Sunday he had appointed Major General Ambang Dharmono to take command of the relief efforts. We joined by two people to talk about the situation in Aceh. Allan Nairn rejoins us, award winning journalist and activist, who has just returned from the region and we're joined by the telephone Aguswandi with the human rights group, Tapole, which means political prisoner in Indonesia. And one of the founders of a new organization in Europe called Tsunami Aceh. We welcome you both to Democracy Now! We will begin with Aguswandi. You can tell us what you understand to be happening right now in Aceh in terms of food distribution.
AGUSWANDI: Yeah. Hello. Good morning.
AMY GOODMAN: It's good to have you with us.
AGUSWANDI: Yeah. Yeah. The problem is the situation on the ground is difficult because the police of the Indonesian government insists with one door policy of promising aid, through the government door, use long bureaucracy that obstructs many aid that should be delivered to many people in remote areas in Aceh who cannot go through. And I just got a report just now actually how many groups in Aceh are trying to help, but they cannot do anything. For example, the government had been citing that the problem with this actually lack of relief was not many people in Aceh was trying to help. But many human — many groups, many local NGO's, actually, they have a lot of workers, but they don't have a lot of foods or things that — that enable them to deliver things to many people who need it. Hello?
AMY GOODMAN: Yes. Right now, how you are getting information out of Aceh?
AGUSWANDI: I'm going to be in touch with many local groups who are dealing with the situation on the ground. We — with great difficulty, for example, I can still call some of them. But I still receive text messages through mobile phone constantly and also through email.
AMY GOODMAN: Allan Nairn also joins us. If you can talk about the significance of the US Secretary of state, Colin Powell together with the Florida governor, and president's brother, Jeb Bush, going to Indonesia right now, and what this means.
ALLAN NAIRN: Well, the US's long-time sponsor of the Indonesian military, Powell can have, if he wants, tremendous leverage over the military. The Indonesian military has staged dozens of raids in north Aceh and east Aceh against villages in recent days. Even as people are desperate for food and water, they're interrogating activists, Acehnese activists who are trying to work with the relief effort. Powell could put a stop to this by telling the Indonesian military to stop. Likewise it's quite likely that the US Military will now use this as an excuse to press for renewed sales of helicopters, of transport planes, of logistics, of weaponry to the Indonesian armed forces. Since those helicopters and planes are now being used in the relief effort, up until a few weeks ago, they were being used to attack the Acehnese from the air, and they will be again soon if the Indonesian military has their way. Powell should also publicly reject that possibility and say that the US will sever all aid to the Indonesian military and police. As Agus mentioned, there's a major problem with the military impeding the aid distribution. At the airport, there are reports that soldiers were stopping particular shipments saying that these shipments will not go to the people. It's not allowed to go through. There's a likelihood of massive theft by the military of money and supplies. In addition — international relief organizations should publicly say they won't deal with the military. They will only channel their aid directly to the people, and also the international relief organization, which are now being swamped with donations from the public, who see these horrible images on TV, they should take some of that money and redirect it to local Acehnese and Indonesian organizations on the ground, who have been working in Aceh for years, who are very short of funds, whose people risk their live when they go into the field to work with the Indonesian military still at large. A lot of that money from the big rich NGO's should be directed now through those groups, and who have a much better chance of reaching the Acehnese people.
AMY GOODMAN: You mention raids.
ALLAN NAIRN: The Indonesian military has been attacking villages in Aceh, more than a dozen villages. Military spokesman said explicitly, they were going to continue the raids. They were going to continue to impose the civil emergency, the state of siege, until president general of Indonesia tells them to stop, and he has not yet told them to stop.
AMY GOODMAN: How can they do this? We're talk about and watching images on television of the most devastated areas of the entire Indian ocean right there in Aceh how can the military possibly be engaging in raids right now, and who is left?
ALLAN NAIRN: They're doing the raids in areas that were not hit by the flood, the upland areas, but they're doing it because they're in charge. Aceh, they're doing it because they can. This is a region that they have run with a semi-totalitarian occupation. They're not about to let go. In some areas, by the coast, the military itself was hit. I talked to a friend in Banda Aceh, the other day. He described soldiers wandering around stunned like everybody else. There was dramatic footage on CNN of the CNN reporter riding a US Navy helicopter. They land in a village near the west coast of Aceh, and the helicopter is rushed by desperate men clamoring for food. What they didn't say in the report, but what you could see was that some of the men were wearing Indonesian military t-shirts. They apparently were soldiers whose barracks had been wiped out. In some of the towns, you have the survival of the fittest situation where people are literally physically scrambling for food and water. I fear for the civilians up against the soldiers in that situation. You have the same situation duplicated on the larger national and global policy level where billions are now pouring in. The Indonesian military is getting their hands on it, and the u.s. Is now using this as a chance to boost their image politically, boost the political prospects of Jeb Bush, who prior to this only foreign policy credential was helping the Nicaraguan contras when he got started in politics as a young man. — we should put a stop to this and not tolerate this abuse of people's goodwill, people's mercy.
AMY GOODMAN: We're talking to Allan Nairn, journalist and activist and Aguswandi, an Acehnese activist, speaks to us from London part of a group who set up Tsunami Aceh, a new group. We going to talk about the political context or relief efforts going on or not going on in Indonesia as Jeb Bush and Colin Powell head there in just a minute.
AMY GOODMAN: Our guests are Allan Nairn, journalist and activist, for years covered East Timor, and the genocide there, has spent a good deal of time in Indonesia, just returned, and from Aceh as well. On the line with us from London is Aguswandi, an Acehnese human rights activist, part of Tapol, a human rights group there, which means political prisoner in the Indonesian language of Bahasa Indonesia, and started a new group called Tsunami Aceh. Can you talk about the group and what you are hoping to do with it?
AGUSWANDI: Yes. This group was set up by an organization in Europe that is trying to help the situation, and to channel a lot of aid to grassroots humanitarian organizations in Aceh. Because the problem, as I told you before, that the problem — there are local groups in access — Aceh who are doing great job there, and who don't have a lot of support from many of us living abroad. So, we are trying to help them, and we are also trying to give a lot of pictures to the public, to the international community about what's happening in Aceh, what's happening even before tsunami, and how the infrastructure in Aceh is being destroyed beforehand and at the moment, and what people can do, basically, to help the situation.
AMY GOODMAN: Allan Nairn, let's talk about what the context is, the political context referred to by both you and Aguswandi, talking about a repressive Indonesian military. For most people in the last week it may be the first time they heard the word Aceh and Banda Aceh, can you tell us what's been happening there.
ALLAN NAIRN: It's been under martial law, official martial law and de facto martial law. The military has massacred thousands in recent years. Aceh is dotted with mass graves. People are not free to move. The military systematically conducts what they call sweeping where they stop cars on the road they pull people out. If you don't have the proper police issued I.D. you're taken away. If you are on a list provided by military intelligence, you're taken away. There's systematic torture, systematic political rape. It's one of the worst situations of repression in the world. General Cecilo, who is now the president of Indonesia, last year said that to demand a referendum is considered a crime against the state. A referendum being the basic political demand of most people in Aceh, asking for a chance to vote for independence. He says that's a crime against the state, just to call for one. The national army commander in Indonesia, said people who dislike the military emergency in Aceh are GAM members, the armed independence group. The overall commander of the Indonesian military said what should be done with GAM members is we should hunt them down and exterminate them. You have the very top military and political officials in Indonesia making clear that speech against the army and for vote for referendum in Aceh is a crime against the state and something that can get you killed. This is what the people have of Aceh have been living under.
AMY GOODMAN: The death toll before the tsunami in Aceh?
ALLAN NAIRN: It's not clear because Aceh was so closed, especially in the past three years. It's not really known. Sometimes the military itself would have put out press releases almost every day saying five to ten rebels were killed. GAM members were killed. Often in the same releases, they would say we killed 10 rebels today, and we captured three weapons. That certainly is a suggestion that a good number of those that were being killed were civilians. Its many thousands, clearly in excess of 10,000 in recent years. Agus might have a better idea, but the point is that Aceh has been so sealed that you cannot even know.
AMY GOODMAN: Aguswandi, what about you yourself. Why do you live in London as opposed to Aceh?
AGUSWANDI: Yeah. I think — first, I'm working with Tapol, trying to do what you said before, nobody — people hardly knew the word of Aceh before this disaster, and it is very, very accurate subject because not everybody knows about Aceh. Everybody hears about Aceh after the awful disaster, horrific disaster happening there. But — and we have been trying — I have been trying really hard working from London and visiting the United States several times trying to build awareness about what's happening in Aceh. What people can do to help. What international community can do. So, I'm basically living in London, and, what, trying to do whatever I can to improve the situation in Aceh, to build a peaceful Aceh and more democratic Aceh.
AMY GOODMAN: You yourself — you yourself, you left Aceh, why?
AGUSWANDI: Yeah. I was targeted before by — because of my work with a national group called Contrast. Contrast is one of a prominent N.G.O. in Indonesia that determined the first — the first chairman was actually assassinated on the way to Holland a few months ago. He was poisoned on the plane to Holland. So, I was part of this group, and we have been — we had been doing a lot of work to export human rights violations in Aceh. One of the recent, after I went to Geneva to speak at the U.N. meeting on human rights, then, what, I came to London, and continued to work from London.
AMY GOODMAN: Allan Nairn, the poisoning that Aguswandi is referring to. You can explain what happened to Munir, the leader who was killed on the way out of the country?
ALLAN NAIRN: Yes. First I want to say that Aguswandi was one of the principle organizers of the massive civilian peaceful demonstration that took place at the Grand Mosque in Banda, Aceh where in excess of 10% of the entire population of Aceh more than 400,000 people turned out to call for referendum. He has now been driven into exile. Mohammad Nasser, one of the main civilian organizers there is in jail in Java for the crime of speech. He gave a speech in a village calling for referendum. Munir, who was Javanese, not Acehnese, was the best known human rights activist and critic of the military in all of Indonesia. He was a nationally known figure. In September, he boarded a plane to Amsterdam, and was going to study law briefly at a university in the Netherlands, and he never made it. He arrived at a corpse because on the plane, a — apparently an Indonesian flight, the airline, he was slipped a massive dose of arsenic. A spectacular political assassination, apparently intended to send a message to other activists, who speak against the military.
AMY GOODMAN: This airline is controlled by the Indonesian government?
ALLAN NAIRN: Yes.
AMY GOODMAN: How do you know it was arsenic?
ALLAN NAIRN: Well, that's what the autopsy in the Netherlands found, a massive dose. It's actually ironically similar to the case in the Ukraine, only this one has not gotten the — has not gotten the world attention.
AMY GOODMAN: So, right now, with the world's attention on Aceh, Aguswandi, if you could talk about what you are calling for, not only the world attention, because of the tsunami and now with the U.S. press following Colin Powell there as well as Jeb Bush and there's going to be major international donor's conference to talk about, how to support Indonesia right now.
AGUSWANDI: Yeah, I think like in the context of Aceh, there's two things that need to be done immediately. One is related to humanitarian assistance. Because, what, the devastation is so bad and millions of people are homeless. I got a figure today that 270,000 people are living in refugee camps throughout Aceh at the moment, affected by this. So, a great number of support from international communities to help humanitarian needs for Aceh is very, what — people really need it. And that is in the context of humanitarian assistance. But also in the context of policy that there should be strong pressure toward Jakarta, related — related policy in Aceh, because, for example, until now, the [inaudible] law has not been lifted in Aceh. This is what, a problem for long term hope achieve a more peaceful Aceh and actually help a lot of victims, millions of people who are homeless, and to have a long term government in Aceh. So, a less militaristic Aceh and peaceful Aceh is one of the things that the international community should put pressure on Indonesia. Because Jakarta, this new government, has a fairly big mandate, and he was elected directly, and actually, if he won, he has political will, can he do something to control the Indonesian military, for example.
AMY GOODMAN: Tomorrow, we'll be joined by Acehnese activists in our studio. They're coming to New York today for a noontime rally, across the street from the United Nations, deeply concerned about Indonesian military still raiding villages, stopping food supply. Allan Nairn, the discussion of what the tsunami could mean in terms of realigning geopolitics in the world, this massive global cataclysm. If you could talk about that in the context of Indonesia, if see that things might be changing in terms of the military repression in Aceh as a result of this?
ALLAN NAIRN: Well, a lot of pundits in Washington now are saying that the U.S. should seize this opportunity to boost its world image, especially its image among Muslims. The idea being that if people see U.S. Naval aircraft dropping food instead of bombs, they'll feel more affection for U.S. power. It definitely is an opportunity, but of a different kind. It's an opportunity to right a historic wrong. The U.S.'s historic support for the Indonesian military, which devastated Aceh before the tsunami ever struck. The U.S. can end that. In terms of the hopes for Aceh, right now, it could go either way. It could actually get worse in Aceh after the initial relief, if the military is able to use the new money they're getting, the new equipment they're getting, to further consolidate their control and make people more dependent on them. On the other hand, it could be more positive if the opening to the world, the presence of international journalists and relief people allows more Acehnese activists to return from exile, to put their heads up, to speak out, and to politically drive the Indonesian military out of Aceh, but that will be much harder if the U.S. continues to back politically and in every way it can logistically the Indonesian military. People here in the U.S. who are listening and watching can use their own power. So many people are generously giving to charities. When people give to the big mainstream charity, I think they should also contact them and urge them to say, use my donation by channeling it to a grassroots Acehnese group on the ground in Aceh. Give it to them. Secondly, people can give directly to grassroots Acehnese groups through Tapol, Agus's organization. They have a website at www.tapol.gn.apc.org or here in the U.S. through the East Timor Action Network which is channeling organization funds to the same grassroots Acehnese groups on the ground. ETAN at www.etan.org. And more broadly, I think it can be an opportunity politically for people in the United States and in all of the rich countries on a one-shot basis, people are now saying, look, those people are dying. They're starving. They don't have a home. I'll send them $100. That's a good thing. The principle that if someone is in need, you give them something. Why not accept that in principle and not just do it once. If you can afford to do the next day, do the next day and the following and the following. If that's a valid principle, that money should be moved from where it's desired to where it is needed, why not say that government policy should reflect that. That corporate policy should reflect that. Why not say that redistribution of wealth is a good thing. Redistribution of wealth is a desirable thing. We are now seeing on TV why it is good and desirable, because people obviously need the wealth that we don't really need here. It's just on TV now. But it's there every day. It's there every day not just in Aceh, but in Timor, in Indonesia, in Sri Lanka, in India and Africa, and in many places here in the United States. It's a valid principle. We should admit it's a valid principle and accept it and make it policy.
AMY GOODMAN: Well, Allan Nairn, I want to thank you for being with us and Aguswandi, with the organization in Britain called, Tapol. They have begun now, tsunami Aceh. The website is tapol.gn.apc.org. Allan Nairn a journalist covering Indonesia for many years. He survived the massacre in Indonesia when the military opened fire on thousands of defenseless Timorese. They fractured his skull. He continued to go back and got arrested quite often. He has recently returned from Indonesia, and Aceh.

Cuba is one of the world's last unreconstructed communist countries. Ruled since the 1950s by Dr Fidel Castro, Cuba has attempted none of the economic reforms implemented in Eastern Europe or even China. Despite this, the country has a reputation for the quality of its health services and health indicators, and has an impressive pharmaceutical/biotechnology research sector. This reputation is deserved in part, but conceals an aging healthcare system in dire need of restructuring and modernizing, none of which can be achieved without greatly increased funding.
During the Cold War, Cuba was a major Soviet ally, and the market remained largely closed to the West. During the 1990s, however, many countries in the West established links with Cuba. The USA, virtually alone, maintains its embargo against Cuba. This is starting to hurt US healthcare firms, as companies based in Asia, Canada and Western Europe have the high-tech market to themselves. The international healthcare industry is taking an increasing interest in Cuba, which in turn has made efforts to integrate into the global marketplace in an attempt to attract new funding for its healthcare system.
Since its realignment under the consortium QUIMEFA in 2001, domestic pharmaceutical production has kept growing, with increasing biotechnology export opportunities not only in developing countries but also in Europe and other developed countries. Cuba maintains a list of essential medicines (CBM), with 827 in 2005, of which 521 are domestically produced. There is no commercial advertising in Cuba, instead advertising has an educational purpose. Cuba affords some level of pharmaceutical patent protection, although less than international norms. Since 2001, FARMACUBA has acted as importer, exporter and distributor for QUIMEFA.

ARMCHAIRMOGUL EXCLUSIVE! Leaked Publicity Shot of Ben Affleck as BATMAN!
The internet is abuzz today about the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman in the upcoming Batman Vs. Superman movie.
Armchairmogul.net has exclusively obtained a leaked publicity photo of Ben Affleck in costume. This might be an earlier version of the costume, and may see some iterations before the big screen debut. But we like what we are seeing!
What do you think about the casting Moguls? Sound off!
One Response to "ARMCHAIRMOGUL EXCLUSIVE! Leaked Publicity Shot of Ben Affleck as BATMAN!"
I hope he hits the gym a couple of times before filming starts.
Seriously, though: buzz fades, performances matter. If the team delivers, then great. If not, we'll have another lousy comic book movie and BA will still get to make movies.

Alan Rogers Review
Located on the banks of a beautiful lake, Het Bovenwater, and adjacent to the natural park of De Oostvaardersplassen, this site provides campers with peace and space, albeit with opportunities for various watersports on the lake. The site appeals primarily to young families, but also to retired couples. There are 70 touring pitches on one or two grassy fields and a designated area for campervans next to reception (all with 6A electricity). Some wooden cabins and a few caravans are available to rent, and 25 pitches have been designated for large tents in a separate field. There is no restaurant, but the site provides a barbecue hut with TV.
An adjacent surf school has windsurf boards for hire, as well as catamarans, canoes and pedal boats. Special windsurfing courses are available. Fishing is popular and well stocked ponds contain trout and salmon trout (fishing equipment available for hire – fishing license required). Fresh and smoked trout can be purchased here too.
Modern heated toilet block with controllable hot showers (€ 0.50) and facilities for babies and disabled visitors. Dishwashing (€ 0.20). Motorcaravan services. Direct lake access (sailing, windsurfing and fishing). Basketball. Trampoline. Dogs are not accepted.

Because I must keep writing my book. (No, not this one, my next one.)
This is an interesting story to monitor:
Fred D. Thompson, who is campaigning for president as an antiabortion Republican, accepted an assignment from a family-planning group to lobby the first Bush White House to ease a controversial abortion restriction, according to a 1991 document and several people familiar with the matter.
A spokesman for the former Tennessee senator denied that Thompson did the lobbying work. But the minutes of a 1991 board meeting of the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Assn. say that the group hired Thompson that year.
His task was to urge the administration of President George H. W. Bush to withdraw or relax a rule that barred abortion counseling at clinics that received federal money, according to the records and to people who worked on the matter.
The abortion "gag rule" was then a major political flashpoint. Lobbying against the rule would have placed Thompson at odds with the antiabortion movement that he is now trying to rally behind his expected declaration of a presidential bid.
Thompson spokesman Mark Corallo adamantly denied that Thompson worked for the family planning group. "Fred Thompson did not lobby for this group, period," he said in an e-mail.
In a telephone interview, he added: "There's no documents to prove it, there's no billing records, and Thompson says he has no recollection of it, says it didn't happen."
CHARLES adds: I think we should note that this story is looking increasingly fishy.

Time for another unique pizza!
Quesadilla Crust:
3 cups Corn Masa
1 3/4 cups water
1 tsp salt
3 oz shredded cheddar
3 oz shredded pepper jack
BBQ Bean Topping:
12 oz of your preferred meat....this is REALLY versatile... shredded or ground chicken, pork, beef, turkey or even bacon would work......or you can leave it meatless. I used ground pork this time
1 TB olive oil
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup BBQ sauce, divided use (bottled or homemade)
2-15 oz cans black beans, drained
More pepper jack and cheddar to preference, I did another 2 oz of each
Red Pepper Flakes
Green Onions to taste
Preheat oven to 350
Gather it with your hands and knead into a smooth ball.
On a lightly greased 16 inch pizza sheet roll/press the 1/2 of the dough all the way out to the edges. I used a rolling pin then hand pressed the outer edges, if you get a hole, no big deal, just pinch some from a thicker spot and press it in.
Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on pan for 3 minutes
GENTLY transfer to a clean towel or parchment paper.
Repeat with the second ball of dough.
Bake 5 minutes until the cheese is melted, remove from oven. Set aside.
BBQ Topping:
If you are using ground meat: In a skillet heat olive oil over medium high, cook meat with onions, pepper and garlic until there is no more pink....drain if necessary,
Add 3/4 cup BBQ sauce and the black beans.
Mash everything together, you can mash to your own desired consistency, lightly to leave the beans more whole, heavily for a refried bean like consistency or somewhere in between. Allow to simmer 5 minutes more to thicken.
If you are using pre-cooked/shredded meat or omitting meat completely just cook the onions, pepper and garlic in the oil until tender then continue with the beans, adding shredded meat last.
Gently pour the thickened mixture on top of the quesadilla and spread to the edges.
Top with more cheese and drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup of BBQ Sauce.....I also sprinkled mine with red pepper flakes
Can be made to this point and refrigerated, remove from fridge 20-30 minutes before you plan to bake.
Bake another 10-15 minutes(may need longer if previously refrigerated) until the cheese is melted and bubbly, top with green onions.
Allow to set for 5 minutes before slicing..

Nvidia recently announced its new line of processors, the Nvidia Tegra 4i. After this announcement, the company has again hit the news with another announcement which says that ZTE, the Chinese smart phone and equipment manufacturer, is going to use Nvidia's Tegra 4 processor in its new line of smart phones, along with Nvidia's i500 LTE modem.
ZTE used Nvidia's Tegra 2 and Tegra 3 processors in its earlier smart phones, but used Icera's LTE modems. But this time, with the Tegra 4 processor, the manufacturer is using Nvidia's own LTE modem. Does this mean the integration will be smoother and better? Anyway, these smart phones are supposed to see the light of the day sometime in the first half of this year, according to Nvidia. And these smart phones are going to be high end with features such as full HD video playback and awesome processing powers.
And Nvidia is not the only company announcing powerful chips. ST Electronics announced just yesterday that it has come out with an awesome processor as part of its NovaThor line of integrated chips. This new processor is clocked at 3 GHz, and this is going to be showcased at the Mobile World Congress later this month with a smart phone attached to it. And this smart phone is going to be the first smart phone in the history of the world with a 3 GHz power house inside it.
The new NovaThor processor has all types of modems built into it. This is going to appeal in many geographic areas as there is support for a range of LTE bands. Giga Om writes, "For those who want to get technical, the NovaThor L8580 supports downlink speeds up to 150Mbps as well as LTE-FDD, LTE-TDD, HSPA+, GSM and TD-SCDMA. It has up to 17 bands in the same device and a single radio for carrier aggregation, which is what enables it to tune into frequencies in many markets."

"Les Soeurs d'Estrées"[title 1] is the fourteenth episode of ABC Family's Switched at Birth Season One and the series overall. It was written by Joy Gregory and it was directed by Arlene Sanford. It was originally aired on January 24th, 2012.
Daphne and Bay join forces to try to come up with money to pay off Emmett's fine for his arrest so he can save his motorcycle. When selling cupcakes doesn't bring in the money she hopes, Daphne takes matters into her own hands and lies to the Kennishes about losing her hearing aids. Regina catches Daphne, who has apologizes to Kathryn for her deceit.
Meanwhile, Toby and Wilke recruit Simone to work on their music video. Simone flirts with Toby, while Wilke continues to give Daphne the cold shoulder after getting rejected. Kathryn and John hire a young new lawyer for their lawsuit against the hospital. They also find out the hard way that Angelo never knew that Regina had learned about the switch. Regina starts to question Angelo's motives and wonders about going into business with him. But when Angelo confronts Regina about not telling him about the switch, things become even more intense.
Despite their best efforts, the friends don't raise enough money, and Emmett has no choice but to sell his bike to pay the fine. After giving his mom the money for the fine, Emmett breaks the news to Melody that he's moving in with his dad. Regina goes to return her key to Angelo, but he explains that he understands her decision not to tell him, and they kiss.
|This section needs more writing to complete the 14th episode.
John and Kathryn meet with several new possible lawyers concerning their legal issues with the hospital, but they must also deal with the lack of trust toward their daughter Daphne, who conned them into giving her the money for Emmett's fine, an idea that Kathryn believes came from Bay. Guitar Face recruits Simone to direct their music video, leading to a moment between her and Toby. John accidentally causes a rift between Angelo and Regina, while Emmett informs Melody that he is moving in with his father tired of her disapproval of Bay and making him sell his motorcycle was the final straw. Also Emmett kisses Daphne in her daydream. When back into reality, he asks what, and she noticed that she was daydreaming.

Implant Dentistry
Learn more about the increasingly popular dental implants:
Dental Implants first became a treatment alternative in the mid 1980's for the replacement of damaged or missing teeth. It's acceptance was a result of the discovery that titanium and it's alloys will "integrate" with jaw bone and provide a platform for the attachment of a tooth.
The Dentists at the Worthington Dental Group have been placing and restoring dental implants since 1985. Since that time we have worked with numerous implant systems and have first hand experience with virtually every implant situation anyone could encounter.
If you have any missing teeth or dentures that "don't fit," dental implants may be the solution to your problem.
Some of our dental implant procedures include:
- Guided Implant Surgery
- Single Tooth Replacement
- Multiple Tooth Replacement
- Upgrading Your Dentures (Implant Supported Overdentures)
- All-On-4
Visit the Comprehensive Dental Implant Center page to learn more about our proficiency in dental implant dentistry.

I may or may not have eaten some moldy maple syrup this morning.
If I don't blog again you know what happened.
I could die.
But before I do, I had to have my EASTER NACHO EXTRAVAGANZA!
Ok, here is where I admit that this picture is totally staged. I had already stuffed myself full of nachos at this point and then decided I should have a picture of my nacho feast. As usual, I made twice as much food as this because I am a dork.
Or maybe I'm a secret genius!
I knew I was going to only eat one plate but I shredded so much cheese and cooked enough beef for two. Instead of putting it away I decided to make the whole thing anyway and just eat the leftovers tomorrow.
So bam! Now I have a pic of my Easter feast even after I had already stuffed my face.
I'd like to point out that under the cheese there is beef, onions, tomatoes, and yellow peppers.
They tasted a lot better than they looked.
I didn't have to spend this Easter alone but I chose to and it's been nice and relaxing.
I'm so full!

Although the RCA brand has a rather long history, its logo hasn't been altered all that much since the company name was changed from the Radio Corporation of America to RCA in 1969.
RCA logo meaning and history
RCA was established as the Radio Corporation of America in 1919. Its original owner was General Electric. The electronics company existed from 1919 to 1986. Today, its trademarks belong to Sony Music Entertainment and Technicolor.
Old symbol RCA
The earliest logotype featured the company name in white in a red circle with two frames: a white one and a red one. The end of the "A" resembled a lightning bolt.
Current emblem RCA
While the emblem is still based on the company name, the letters have hardly anything in common with the previous version. The typeface is bold and solid; the lightning bolt shape has disappeared. The shade of red has become lighter.
Font of the RCA Logo
The RCA logo was definitely drawn by hand and doesn't look identical to any of the existing typefaces.

In Concert!
"I have wanted to do something like this for a long time!" What could Philippe Eymard, Nishimachi's Director of Development and Alumni Relations, be taking about? It turns out it has been Philippe's long-cherished dream to showcase some of the wide-ranging talent of Nishimachi graduates. Thus, on Saturday, March 16, 2013, he saw his pet project realized as five Nishimachi alumni took to the floor of the Ushiba Memorial Gymnasium in the 90-minute musical extravaganza In Concert! held in support of the Nishimachi Outreach Scholarship Program.

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and surface vessels allegedly disappeared mysteriously. Popular culture has attributed these disappearances to the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings. Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, and numerous official agencies have stated that the number and nature of disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean.
The Triangle area
The area of the Triangle varies by author
The boundaries of the triangle cover the Straits of Florida, the Bahamas and the entire Caribbean island area and the Atlantic east to the Azores. The more familiar triangular boundary in most written works has as its points somewhere on the Atlantic coast of Miami; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda, with most of the accidents concentrated along the southern boundary around the Bahamas and the Florida Straits.
The area is one of the most heavily traveled shipping lanes in the world, with ships crossing through it daily for ports in the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands. Cruise ships are also plentiful, and pleasure craft regularly go back and forth between Florida and the islands. It is also a heavily flown route for commercial and private aircraft heading towards Florida, the Caribbean, and South America from points north.
The earliest allegation of unusual disappearances in the Bermuda area appeared in a September 16, 1950 Associated Press article by Edward Van Winkle Jones. Two years later, Fate magazine published "Sea Mystery At Our Back Door", a short article by George X. Sand covering the loss of several planes and ships, including the loss of Flight 19, a group of five U.S. Navy TBM Avenger bombers on a training mission. Sand's article was the first to lay out the now-familiar triangular area where the losses took place. Flight 19 alone would be covered in the April 1962 issue of American Legion Magazine. It was claimed that the flight leader had been heard saying "We are entering white water, nothing seems right. We don't know where we are, the water is green, no white." It was also claimed that officials at the Navy board of inquiry stated that the planes "flew off to Mars." Sand's article was the first to suggest a supernatural element to the Flight 19 incident. In the February 1964 issue of Argosy, Vincent Gaddis's article "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle" argued that Flight 19 and other disappearances were part of a pattern of strange events in the region. The next year, Gaddis expanded this article into a book, Invisible Horizons.
Others would follow with their own works, elaborating on Gaddis's ideas: John Wallace Spencer (Limbo of the Lost, 1969, repr. 1973);Charles Berlitz (The Bermuda Triangle, 1974); Richard Winer (The Devil's Triangle, 1974), and many others, all keeping to some of the same supernatural elements outlined by Eckert.

June 2, 2015 In Life
Instamood: May
Can't believe we're halfway through the year. It's June but I feel like I'm still stuck in between February or March. May, on the other hand, has been boring. (Thus it not being so memorable.) It was finals month. Or as I call it, the month I've experienced the wrath of hell. And now that that's over, I'm off to sleep all the hours I have lost. But first, a recap.
- I practically lived in libraries and coffee shops. Not that I'm complaining (my wallet is though), I love coffee shops, but cafes are better off when what you have with you is a feel-good novel and a free mind (not stacks of readings and a laptop that hasn't been properly shut down in days).
- Just because we were the last ones in HotStar. Chicken forever and ever.
- My ex-roomies are on vacay (They be swimming, I be drowning in exams) but we were able to catch up over lunch at Pepper Lunch. (And this is why I'm fat series.)
- May is my brother and mom's birthday month. And they have the same birthday!
- Mom's 50th at Fontana was the only trip I had this month. We went all cheeseballs and surprised her. Dad bought her flowers, I bought her shoes, and my typical brother brought himself.
- Every weekend was (is) a sleepy long drive home and I'm always relieved whenever I spot the ferris wheel at the Sky Ranch near us. Just means I'm just a few kilometers left away from my bed.
- Moving to a new condo unit. Still polishing up this week though. Never thought it was going to be such a hassle. (Oh, it is!) But yay for new everything!
- Making time for painting in between all-nighters and study breaks. #damikongtime
- Finally organized my semester's art stuff haul! And I get to use them too. (Finally.) Drafted a post about the things in my art box and it's going live soon.

As #JWC17 approaches Hugh Douglas-Smith caught up with keynote speaker Chiara Aliotta and talked through her perspective on Joomla! and Design in general.
If you have looked at the imagery and design of the JWC website then you have already seen some of Chiara's outstanding work, her designs have been commissioned by many international organisations and we as the Joomla! community are eternally grateful that she provides her time and services to the project.
Chiara, tell us something about yourself:
I am an Italian designer and founder of Until Sunday, a multidisciplinary design firm focused on branding and visual communication. For as long as I can remember, I have been extremely good at visualizing concepts and communicating them. When I started my studies in design, my dream was to design toys and books for children. I think this heavily influenced my very colourful and playful style and the way we work at Until Sunday.
I love being a designer. It is so aligned with my natural way of thinking. With my digital products I like to create functional interfaces surrounded by beauty, colour, typography and details.
Of course there are also things that pull at my enthusiasm, like meetings without an agenda and last-minutes changes that push deadlines further. For this reason I do my best to guide my own clients to follow a specific process of exploration of the problem so that we can find a strategic solution together. In this way we can all avoid painful last-minutes decisions that needlessly increase work hours, costs and pressure on both sides.
What is your background with respect to Joomla! and how did you start using it?
My relationship with Joomla! happened by accident in 2009, when I started working for a company in Athens and they used Joomla! for their clients' websites. At that time my boss proposed that I designed the first Joomla! magazine. It was while working on this that I came to realise Joomla! was more than a single piece of software, but a whole worldwide community of people supporting the vision and mission of the project. As part of this I came across people like: Paul Orwig, Dianne Henning, Brian Teeman, Alice Grevet… I remember wanting to meet some of them so much!
The opportunity came in 2010 when Robert Deutz and Brian Teeman invited me to design the first J and Beyond website. I decided to attend the conference and submitted a talk called "You only like me for my body" (it was about the use of typography on the web!!!). Meeting and getting to know some of the Joomla! members in person. It was an exciting moment!
Many years and few more volunteer projects later, the community elected me Joomla! Brand Manager. I was asked to create a consistent and strong visual language for the project. I worked hard, together with a team of talented designers, and before the end of my mandate, we released a new brand manual. You can read more of the work done here.
Since then, Joomla! is my CMS of choice. All the websites I design for my clients are built using Joomla!. I absolutely love it, but most of all I love seeing people enjoy what I design for them. This is why I wake up every morning!
Given your focus on design, and knowing we operate in such a competitive world, what examples can you give of why good design is so important.
Design is an investment worth making at every stage of your project, from the initial idea to the final execution.
Design can help you:
to be different. As Marty Neumeier says in his book , The Brand Gap, "our old method of judging products, by comparing features and benefits, no longer works". Design can help you define clearly why your product adds value to this world and how people can recognize your company among other similar ones that claim to perform like yours or even better than yours.
to encourage trust: Design is an amazing tool to increase the value of your company. In his book, Emotional Design, Donald Norman articulates how things that look nice perform better. He also claims that people are willing to spend more on beautiful things, if we can only help them to "emotionally" justify its price.
Thanks to an inspiring video, a well-designed website and great, up-to-date content, customers will trust your service and product.
to be charismatic: Design is about creativity; thinking big and creating. It is about inspiring other people to believe what you believe in. A well-designed product has a charismatic personality. A well-designed company shows a clear understanding of its mission. Both (good-looking product and clear mission) willn attract more customers and early adopters, it just makes good business sence!
Joomla! is now powering over 3% of the world's websites, yet outside of the web build/development market no one has heard of it, should we care?
We should care more about the quality than the quantity. Ten good developers doing a great job are a much more effective generating publicity than 1000 developers creating mediocre products for thousands of unsatisfied clients and blaming Joomla! for not being a good CMS.
This is what I think, hurt Joomla for so many years! But there is an interesting shift going on… I can feel it! Some of the biggest companies out there are choosing Joomla! to run their business websites. And guess what? They are not other IT companies or not-for-profit organisations!
For example, few days ago I discovered that the website of Young & Rubicam, one of the most iconic global marketing communications companies in the world, is running on Joomla!. Why am I so excited about it? Because usually marketers and designers don't see Joomla! as "the next cool thing"! I would like to shake the hand of the web builder who said to Young and Rubicam "your site will run on Joomla
As a veteran of Joomla! conferences, what advice would you give to a first time attender who is considering coming, but has not committed yet, what would you describe as the key benefit to be gained from attending a JWC?
Any Joomla! conference is an opportunity to exchange opinions and ideas with great minds from the industry. Your business will be enriched with new inspirations and possibilities. There is always a lot to learn at conferences like the JWC!
And of course, you will visit one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Rome! ;)
Finally, is there anything else that you think may prove interesting to potential attendees?
If you are part of the Italian Community, I think this is a great opportunity to "build a bridge" with the international Community and give to your business a good lift!
Chiara, Thank you, this has been enlightening, I am sure I as well as anyone reading this will look forward with anticipation to your keynote at JWC in Rome.
Full details of this year's Joomla World Conference can be found at conference.joomla.org tickets are still available but selling out fast. Don't miss this incredible event taking place at the Sheraton Conference Centre, Rome, Italy between 17th - 19th November.

Frequently Asked Questions
GENERAL Retreat QUESTIONS
When and Where?
Life Worth Living (LWL) will take place November 3-5, 2017 on the Yale University campus in New Haven, Connecticut.
Will there be free Wi-Fi on-campus?
Yes, all participants will have access to free Wi-Fi while on the Yale campus. No password is required.
Am I allowed to record sessions or presentations during LWL?
No. Recording during sessions is not permitted.
What is the best way to get to and from New Haven, CT?
If traveling by plane, Bradley International Airport (BDL) is approximately 45 minutes from New Haven and is served by nine major carriers to 29 non-stop destinations and connections. The city of New Haven is also accessible from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and LaGuardia Airport (LGA). Tweed New Haven (HVN) is the airport nearest to New Haven, but offers limited service.
In all cases, travel by car or train from the airport to New Haven is necessary. For detailed information on air and train travel, please visit the "Visit New Haven" web site.
It is recommended that you arrange transportation from the airport through Hy's Limousine or GO Shuttle. It is not recommended that you take a taxi to New Haven from the airport, as it would be very expensive.
If traveling by train via Amtrak or Metro-North, select New Haven Union Station as your final destination. Taxis are readily available at the train station.
I need a VISA letter. How can I get one?

Niche 2.0 - Can we predict vegetation structure, diversity & function from ecological and evolutionary first principles?
Walking through any forest, one is struck by the variety of plant forms coexisting.
To explain vegetation structure and diversity, models must allow for multiple species to coexist, and ultimately, predict the outcome of community assembly in different environments.
In this talk Daniel will outline a new framework for predicting the mixtures of species traits that are favoured in vegetation and evaluate the challenges in scaling these predictions to the Australian continent.
Predictions are generated by embedding trait-based coexistence and selection into models of forest dynamics, mapping from physiological trade-offs in plant function to individual-level outcomes such as growth rates, population demographics, and fitness.
Results thus far show how:
- Key trait-based trade-offs enable different strategies to coexist via successional niche differentiation;
- Joint consideration of multiple traits can produce forests of higher diversity than was previously thought possible; and
- Trait mixtures respond to environmental conditions.
Current major challenges include expanding the variety of niches accounted for, parameterising models via open data, competition for multiple resources, and amassing trait data to road-test predictions.
Daniel Falster is an ARC Future Fellow at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. He uses a combination of maths, computer models, and large data sets to test fundamental ideas about the processes shaping forests. His current focus is on predicting the distribution of plant types found across the Australian continent. He is passionate about science, open data, reproducible research, and teaching biologists to code.

There is continued period of maximum productivity and maximum involvement in the work which programmers called flow.
Pomodoro technique helps perfectly to get into the flow - when you maximum focused on the task and avoid interruptions it's a matter of time when you get into flow and continue staying in it.
But there is a little problem here : breaks.
When I'm in a flow I don't want to break it an be dragged out by timer.
So I found good solution for this - I just skip break and continue working until next break I'm willing to take.
And Pomodorium timer is nice and quiet so in many cases when I'm maximum involved into work I don't hear it beeping break.
But when flow breaks I hear timer and take nearest break.

|Wai Aniwa training in blustery conditions on Auckland Harbour, 1972
|Pathfinder sailing in the New Zealand trials
|Wai Aniwa during New Zealand trials
|Ydra in winning form during Cowes Week 1972 (photo One Ton Class Facebook page)
|Profile and general arrangement plan of Dick Carter's Ydra
In her first series, the 1972 Cowes Week, and skippered by 1968 Cup winner Hans Bielken, she was completely dominant, taking six firsts and a third. She also had to carry a DSQ for being over the line early in one race, and a DNF after a collision with a larger yacht). She trained for one more month in Germany, before being shipped to Australia. Yachting journalist Jack Knights proclaimed Ydra to be the fastest One Tonner in the world and all those that saw her perform in that regatta fully expected a great performance in the Cup.
The 1972 One Ton Cup consisted of five races, as was normal for these level rating events, including a medium offshore (1.5 points) and a long offshore (2x points), and a winning campaign could not afford a poor result in the longer races. What was not typical was that the offshore races were aligned along the coastline south of Sydney. As a result, navigation was not a major factor as nearly all the racing took place within sight of land, and visual bearings were the order the day. The main tactical consideration was to determine what the Southerly Set was doing (speed and direction).
|The 1972 One Ton Cup fleet assembled in Sydney, Australia
|Wai Aniwa finishes one of the ocean races in tight reaching conditions
|Second placed Pilgrim (Australia)
|Ydra with spinnaker and big staysail set
|The extreme beam of Ydra is evident in this photo
|The differences between Wai Aniwa (solid line) and Ydra (dashed line)
|Ydra sail plan
In terms of sail plans, there was no apparent move towards larger mainsails, and only Wai Aniwa had taken extra mainsail area under Mk III. Most other mainsails were very close to the minimum permissible area, but the aspect ratios of foretriangles were slightly higher than in 1971.
The next competition for the One Ton Cup would be held in 1973 in Sardinia, where Ydra would herself be surpassed, but once again the series would prove that having the fastest yacht was only one part of a winning campaign...
Footnote: Ydra is current understood to be located in northern Germany - if anyone knows of her actual whereabouts one of the followers of this blog would be very grateful! Leave a comment or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
