Domain and Hosting
Website Domain and Hosting
Every website requires domain and web hosting service for people to access it on the internet. The better the web hosting service, the easier it is for people to access a website.
If you visit a company's website but it takes too long to open, what would you do? Most people may simply close it and open some other company's website offering the same services.

What Features to Look For in a hosting company?
Backup Services
Software bugs, hackers and hard disk failure can cause websites to lose data. It's vital to store backups of this information. Try to find a Web hosting company that backs up files regularly. Some providers do this every 24 hours or repeatedly throughout the day. The control panel should also offer an easy way to download your own copies. Backups become more important when users create data online rather than uploading content from a single hard disk.
Customer Service
The Internet never sleeps, so it's particularly important for Web hosting firms to provide excellent customer support. Look for a company that supplies a local or toll-free phone number and at least one other contact method. Some hosts advertise 24-hour support throughout the week. However, such claims do not guarantee that you will receive fast, knowledgeable answers. Remember to test the customer service with a few questions before establishing an account.
Adequate Scalability
If your business grows, your website may receive many thousands or even millions of visitors. Databases and email accounts could require additional storage space as well. A Web host ought to offer service plans that let you upgrade your account to accommodate such changes. Be aware that some small hosting companies simply cannot handle millions of visitors, even if they promise "unlimited bandwidth."
Guaranteed Uptime
Equipment failures, power outages or a loss of Internet service at the hosting provider can result in downtime for clients. Web hosts should compensate customers for significant periods of downtime. They also need to take measures to prevent it, such as installing generators, uninterruptible power supplies or  backup servers. Keep in mind that 99.0% uptime still allows for up to 100 minutes of downtime every week. Excellent hosts offer 99.999% uptime or better.
Good Reputation
If a hosting company has a top-notch reputation, it probably provides excellent customer service and experiences very little downtime. You can evaluate a firm by visiting online forums and host rating websites. Don't rely on a single positive or negative review; the author might have an ulterior motive. Obtain information about Web hosts from the Better Business Bureau. Another option is to ask the owners of reliable, well-respected websites about their hosting providers.
We provide you with all those features listed above integrated in one and only service at Genius Enterprises Hosting and Development Solutions. We strive our best to make sure that your website is always online and its working best!
Please contact us for more information and the process how to start and for a free quote of your custom project as well.

Ky. Man Wanted in Twiggs County Arrested | Crime
A man wanted in Twiggs County for impersonating a peace officer was arrested in Kentucky on Tuesday.
Twiggs County Sheriff Darren Mitchum said Mark Tucker, 53, was picked up by Nicholasville, Ky. police on charges that also include criminal damage of property, burglary and possession of a firearm during a crime.
Tucker, who lives in Kentucky, was spotted by a resident on Fourth Street in Danville on Sept. 9 with a woman.
The resident asked what they were doing and Tucker told him he was with the sheriff's office and opened his shirt exposing a gun and badge, Mitchum said.
Tucker told the resident he was trying to recover a stolen dalmatian and to not tell his neighbor they were at the house, a Twiggs County incident report stated.
The resident told his neighbor who called the sheriff's office.
Glass on the front door was shattered to gain entry to the house. Dresser drawers were open, but nothing was missing, the report stated.
When given descriptions of the two, the neighbor said it was his ex-wife and her friend, Tucker. He said they were looking for the dog they had when they were living together.
The neighbor also said Tucker was a police officer in Nicholasville.
Twiggs investigators called that department and were told that Tucker was a citizen police officer who assisted the department during community events like parades. The badge he flashed was likely one issued to citizen officers who make donations to the department.
Mitchum said Tucker is being transported back to Twiggs County to face charges.

Source: Board of Directors for the Iowa Women for Progressive Change PAC
Des Moines, Iowa- Iowa Women for Progressive Change PAC is now accepting endorsement applications from candidates in state and local races. Candidates must apply on the PAC's website by February 24th, 2018 to be considered.
Luana Nelson- Brown, Co-Chair of the PAC, said, "Iowa Women for Progressive Change is excited to endorse candidates that have the capacity to work toward dismantling oppressive systems in our state and do their part to build structures that support marginalized communities."
If endorsed, the PAC will publicly support the candidate and activate a network of volunteers who can provide field and other in-kind volunteer services. Endorsement does not necessarily mean that the PAC will provide a donation. This is a separate decision made each cycle based on availability of funds and the pool of candidates who apply.
IWPC began three years ago when a group of progressive women started a Facebook group to share their thoughts and ideas about politics and policy. The group quickly grew to include a community of over 400 women. The group decided to launch the IWPC Political Action Committee (PAC) last spring to continue the momentum the group fostered.
IWPC seeks to broaden the accessibility of elected office to progressive women, particularly women who have been historically underrepresented, through the provision of early financial contributions, non-traditional support, education, and encouragement through a strong social network.
Sonia Reyes- Snyder, PAC Board Member, said, "We are looking forward to endorsing candidates for the 2018 elections that will make Iowa a more inclusive state."
Iowa Women for Progressive Change PAC seeks to build a more equitable Iowa by shifting power to a more diverse group of leaders committed to ending the systems that uphold racism, sexism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia and all other forms of discrimination.
Contact co-chair of the PAC, Luana Nelson-Brown, at email@example.com or visit our Website for more information.

A special court here trying the multi-crore accounting fraud in erstwhile Satyam Computer Services Limited (SCSL) today said it will pronounce its judgement in the CBI-probed case on April 9.
Citing voluminous documents in the case, Special Judge BVLN Chakravarthi said, "On April nine, the judgement will be pronounced. I am making it very clear."
"It is mandate of the Supreme Court that judgement has to be pronounced. If any obstruction is caused it is contempt of (apex) court…it is your (accused) duty to bring your advocates. Court will go ahead with its proceedings," he said.
The judge's observation came as defence counsels were not present in the court ostensibly because of the ongoing agitation of Telangana advocates, who have been boycotting courts demanding separate high court for the new state.
"April nine will be the final date for the verdict. No question of further adjournments. Court will not wait," the judge said.
During the last hearing on December 23, 2014, the court had said it would pronounce the verdict today.
On the possible reason for pushing further the judgement date again, CBI counsel K Surender cited the voluminous documents of the case as well as the time needed for "typing the judgement."
Touted as the country's biggest accounting fraud, the scam had come to light on January 7, 2009, after the erstwhile firm's founder and then Chairman B Ramalinga Raju allegedly confessed to manipulating his company's account books and inflating profits over many years to the tune of crores of rupees.
Raju was arrested by Andhra Pradesh Police's Crime Investigation Department two days later, after he allegedly confessed to the fraud, along with his brother Rama Raju and others.
All the 10 accused in the case, who are out on bail, were present in the court today.
Around 3,000 documents were marked and 226 witnesses examined during the trial that began nearly six years back.
Besides Ramalinga Raju, the other accused in the case are: his brother and Satyam's former Managing Director B Rama Raju, former Chief Financial Officer Vadlamani Srinivas, former PwC auditors Subramani Gopalakrishnan and T Srinivas, Raju's another brother B Suryanarayana Raju, former employees G Ramakrishna, D Venkatpathi Raju and Ch Srisailam and Satyam's former internal chief auditor V S Prabhakar Gupta.
Raju and others were charged with offences like cheating, criminal conspiracy, forgery and breach of trust under relevant sections of IPC, for inflating invoices and incomes, account falsification, faking fixed deposits, besides allegedly falsifying returns through violation of various Income Tax laws.
In February 2009, the CBI took over the investigation and filed three charge sheets (on April 7, 2009, November 24, 2009 and January 7, 2010), which were later clubbed into one.
During the trial, the CBI alleged that the scam caused a loss of Rs 14,000 crore to shareholders of Satyam, while the defence countered the charges saying the accused were not responsible for the fraud and all the documents filed by the central agency relating to the case were fabricated and not according to law.
The Enforcement Directorate had also filed a charge sheet against them under Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
In January last year, Ramalinga Raju's wife Nandini Raju and sons Teja Raju and Rama Raju were among 21 relatives of the ex-Satyam boss who were convicted by a Special Court for Economic Offences here for default in Income Tax payment.
On December eight last year, Ramalinga Raju, Rama Raju, Vadlamani Srinivas and former director Ram Mynampati were sentenced to six months' jail term and fined by the Special Court for Economic Offences in connection with complaints filed by Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) for violation of various provisions of the Companies Act.

Two privileges allow you to manage files of your account:
Applications > Files > Extended privileges> Manage file ownership
Applications > Files > Extended privileges> Access to files that belonged to deleted projects and users
Find the other Files application privileges for users here: How to set up the Files application.
Access to administration functions of the Files application is the highest privilege you can grant to a user. This privilege will allow a user to access ALL FILES in ALL PROJECTS for ALL USERS. We strongly suggest carefully selecting the colleagues granted this particular admin function.

I have the following issue:
I have a form that has some input fields that are not required. If a user enters something, it should have for example a minimum, maximum length or match a regex. If a user does not enter something, validation should not happen on that particular field.
I have a field called postalcode that has a minimum length of 6 characters
->add('postalcode',new StringLength(array(
'min' => 6,
'messageMinimum' => 'you should enter at least 6 characters'
If nothing is submitted in the postalcode field the StringLength validator returns a message because nothing/NULL is less than 6, That's not want I want, because this field is not required, but if something is submitted it should have a minimum of 6 characters.
My question: Is there something available to solve this issue, or should I write a new validation class?

What happens when you run DBCC CHECKDB on the msdb database? Can you post the full output? Do you know what object that page is associated with?
Do you have a backup of the msdb database that you can restore?
Worst case you can just take the backup from another server's MSDB database but you'll need to script out all the jobs on this server so that you can put them back. Same goes for things like operators, SSIS packages, etc. as those are all stored in the msdb database.

Ever want to set an attribute in Active Record with a MySQL function? For instance, often times you need to set an attribute to the well known MySQL function "NOW()". Most people first attempt this in the following way:
<?php $model->createdDate = 'NOW()';
The above, however, will most definitely not work. Why not? Because Yii will first escape the value and then enclose it in quotes, like the following:
... `createdDate`= 'NOW()' ...
Since it is enclosed in quotes, it is treated as a string and not a function. If Yii did not clean the data like this, you would have to, and that would be very annoying.
As of version 1.0.2 of Yii however, there is a way to get around this:
<?php $model->createdDate = new CDbExpression('NOW()');
CDbExpression is a special class for using MySQL expressions in your queries. You use it just like in the above example.

John Twelve Hawks's previous novels about the mystical Travelers and the Brethren, their ruthless enemies, generated an extraordinary following around the world. The Washington Post wrote that The Traveler "portrays a Big Brother with powers far beyond anything Orwell could imagine ..." and Publishers Weekly hailed the series as "a saga that's part A Wrinkle in Time, part The Matrix and part Kurosawa epic." Internet chat rooms and blogs have overflowed with speculation about the final destiny of the richly imagined characters fighting an epic battle beneath the surface of our modern world.
In The Golden City, Twelve Hawks delivers the climax to his spellbinding epic. Struggling to protect the legacy of his Traveler father, Gabriel faces troubling new questions and relentless threats. His brother Michael, now firmly allied with the enemy, pursues his ambition to wrest power from Nathan Boone, the calculating leader of the Brethren. And Maya, the Harlequin warrior pledged to protect Gabriel at all costs, is forced to make a choice that will change her life forever.
A riveting blend of high-tech thriller and fast-paced adventure, The Golden City will delight Twelve Hawks's many fans and attract a new audience to the entire trilogy.

Besides our first semi-formal dance, Black and Gold, which took place the Thursday before this sisterhood, this was the first opportunity for the initiated members to get to know the new members during a planned Theta event. With long morning of searching for the best apples and nudging our way through the crowded Country Store to get to the fudge and apple cider doughnuts, the Theta members had a fun and delicious time during this sisterhood! We also have a lot of cute pictures to help commemorate our first sisterhood of the year with the new members!
In addition to this fun sisterhood, Sunday, October 9th was Theta's Big/Little Reveal! Each big and little had half of a sign, and found one another by looking for the perfect match. After the new members found their bigs, they met the rest of their new families, ate cookies, and took new family tree photos. This opportunity to bond with our newest sisters has Theta members so excited for initiation! We cannot wait to welcome the new member class into Kappa Alpha Theta officially!

Pixologic ZBrush has launched 2018, the latest update of its digital sculpting software standard industry integrating dynamic tessellation system Sculptris Brother product.
Live Boolean
Although full power, boolean systems have historically required much trial and error before finally obtain a satisfactory result. With Live Boolean, artists gain the ability to combine multiple sculptures and see in real time how the resulting mesh will be. Any model can be subtracted from another, regardless of their polygon counts. You can even use Boolean Live with existing systems instances in ZBrush, as NanoMesh and ArrayMesh. While Live Boolean is active, you can even sculpt their models while you preview the Boolean results. All of these options can be combined to provide new workflows exclusive sculpture ZBrush.
Real – time previewaddition and subtraction between source models, which allows adjustments on the fly.
There is no guesswork as it can dynamically see the final result before committing to the transaction. You can set anywhere on a screen and instantly see that impact on the model. It is 100% interactive, non – destructive and works with any sculpted.
Using Live 3D printing Boolean
Live Boolean is perfect for creating manufacturing models, toy design, product design, collectibles and more. Use any sculpted to create articulated joints, keys for 3D printing or even holes to create molds for production.
Converting your Live Booleans
The Live Boolean function is not only a preview system within ZBrush, but can also convert to real geometry to allow export for use in other applications.
When the time of finalizing a boolean live creation comes, simply click one button and the live Boolean process will become geometry. The structure models change as little as possible, and topology changes will take place only when the source models are connected together. Even with models that are composed of several million polygons, the result can be generated in seconds.
Mesh feature vector displacement
Expand your arsenal Alpha with a new library meshes vector displacement (VDM). It is 3D sculptures used as building blocks that will cut brushes when drawn on the surface of a model. As an example, you can draw a complete nose with nostrils in a single stroke. Or an ear with front and rear sides complete. Or a bent finger, flakes with a high angle or even an open mouth. All this without losing depth or detail.
What is new:
elastic Option for curve mode
liquid for Curve Option mode
Duplication mesh Gizmo equidistantly
Remember drawing size
Remember dynamic mode for drawing size
Geometry Tesemática
New Polygroup by Normals Algorithm
Edge Transformation Drawing Added option to hide the edge transformation

Taiyaki Cake Is Called only Natural Product in Hokkaido -Taiyaki Cakes Sapporo Yanagiya in Sapporo-
November 27th, 2014
Sapporo Yanagiya (札幌柳屋) is a taiyaki cake shop at a residential area in Higashi ward, Sapporo city and was founded in 1985. Sapporo Yanagiya has a connection with Yanagiya (柳屋), because an owner originally worked at Yanagiya in Nihonbashi-Ningyocho, Tokyo (東京日本橋人形町). This shop sells only taiyaki cakes, and a menu is only taiyaki cake with smashed sweet red beans. The price was JPY 140 per one. They have been running the taiyaki cake shop in Sapporo since nearly 30 years ago, but they have still followed a tradition of Tokyo Yanagiya. I think that it is fantastic.
Speaking of following the tradition, how to bake taiyaki cakes. It is named one order baking (1丁焼き) and is a way to bake taiyaki cakes one by one. It is called a natural product for a sea bream (天然もの * Taiyaki of Tai is a sea bream in Japanese language). Mr. Yasuhiko Miyajima (宮嶋康彦) was named. A representative of the natural product taiyaki cake is Yanagiya in Nihonbashi-Ningyocho, Tokyo. It is founded in 1916 and is a popular shop to be called 'One of 3 Major Taiyaki cakes in Tokyo'. I can understand that Sapporo Yanagiya is called having only natural product in Hokkaido.
By the way, an aquaculture product (養殖物) is a way to bake 4-10 taiyaki cakes simultaneously. In the case of the natural product, because they bake taiyaki cakes one by one, they may make a timely baking taiyaki cakes. But their working hours considerably increase. It is a characteristic of the natural product that a fragrant shell was crispy texture, and bean jam spreaded all over every corner. By the way, the bean jam was homemade smashed sweet red beans. Because it was not too sweet, not a person having a sweet tooth could eat it tasty. Visitors came incessantly, there will be many fans. You will understand a reason to eat the taiyaki cakes.

Maltese Artist Will Make You Rethink Nature With These Bone Sculptures
Known for his striking sculptures made out of discarded junk and animal bones, the dark horse of the Maltese visual arts scene, John Paul Azzopardi, is back with a new showcase at the Natural History Museum in Mdina.
Both creepy and beautiful, his show-stopping interpretation of the Death's-head Hawk-moth will be on display until August 31, as the centerpiece for the exhibition 'What One Sees Is What One Is'.
Constructed out of carefully assembled pieces of tiny animal bones, 'A (Re) Presentation of Acherontia atropos (Death's-head Hawk moth)' invites viewers to contemplate the natural world in a different way.
By making the moth a little less familiar, Azzopardi hopes that those viewing the piece will take the time to appreciate the complexity and variety of nature.
Azzopardi filled us in on how he sets about creating these ominous but delicate bone sculptures…. and it's a process whose chemical doo-hickery will bring to mind the nefarious deeds of Walter White.
"The structure is extremely delicate in the beginning until there is a web like construction that supports the outer part of the form. The process is very long and I obviously have to be very patient. I glue the bones together with a fast setting glue and once the sculpture is ready I coat it with several layers of resin with a paint brush. Usually a sculpture can take from six to eight weeks to… well, the longest was six months."
"Once I have a good batch of bones; I boil them for a few hours, drain the water and start removing the meat and fat from the bones. Then I put them in a container filled with a chemical to clean and bleach them, also to destroy the bone marrow. After a few days I take them out and leave them to dry in the sun."
Azzopardi first caught on to the idea of using discarded objects for sculptures during childhood. While his family were living in Hackney Wick, London, his father had brought home a rusty ornate shelve unit. At first bemused by this, Azzopardi was later impressed to see how his father managed to restore the discarded item into something beautiful.
But it was living next to a fried chicken take-away place in another part of London that triggered the bone sculptures. Azzopardi had no problem with rooting through the restaurants boxes of leftovers – "Luckily, back then I used to drink and smoke a lot so I didn't think twice about it!" – and started to incorporate the bones into his mixed media works.
Since 2009, however, Azzopardi started using the bones for entire sculptures too, for a particular conceptual purpose.
"These bone constructs refer to the metaphorical notion of temporarily killing one's rational and busy persona and to delve within one's deeper level of being, where the space created between the bones refers to an architectural silence, a silence every being can relate to."
'What One Sees Is What One Is' will remain on display at the Natural History Museum, Mdina until August 31. Admission fee to the museum applies. Photography by Peter Bartolo Parnis

October has been an odd month. It began with record-breaking heat and autumn swims and is ending with a snowstorm tied to a classic New England nor'easter.
To celebrate this first, early snow we filled bowls with it for some after-dinner sink play and then decided to create a new family tradition: each time it snows, starting with the first flakes of the year, we will stop what we're doing and pop popcorn.
Great idea...except that we didn't have any popcorn to jumpstart this tradition. Luckily, the city is full of convenience and Daddy ran across the street in the wet snow to quickly grab a bag of kernels from the nearby market.
Creating a new, spontaneous tradition like this one is such a simple way to celebrate family togetherness through the changes of each season, and help us to more happily embrace the vicissitudes of New England weather.

Native Place is the name of our holiday home in the hills of western India. It is also home to Nirvana Adventures, a paragliding school, run by my husband. My gardening adventure began in 2003 when we finished building Native Place and moved in. It is an all consuming hobby that I juggle along with paragliding on weekends.

Bird Bath
Doc wrote to me urging me to get a bird bath for the garden. He said he puts out a little shallo dish of water for his dogs in the garden and it attracts all kinds of birds.
i promptly got myself a bird bath and put it out imagining myself photographing and observing a number of interesting birds. i spent an entire afternoon out and all i saw was crows.
Dag called to say he was on his way up to the big mountains to meet up with doc and i grumbled to him about doc's great ideas and how i fared. He suggested that i should visualise a variety of birds and they would manifest!
So the next weekend i sat in the sand pit in the shade of the umbar tree all afternoon but the visualisation exercise took me back to the time in my childhood when a certain crow would visit my neighbour's verandah to look at himself or herself in the mirror of the beautiful old hat stand that they had there. And this got me to relax, lie back and enjoy the crazy antics of these cheeky creatures. Have to say it turned out to be an enjoyable experience.
If you ever come by the native place garden spend some time gazing at the crows visiting the bird bath.

Despite receiving compensation for her husband's disappearance six years
ago, Esma Palic still does not know what actually happened to her
spouse, who was commander of the U.N. protected zone in Zepa at the
AIM Sarajevo, January 9, 2002
A year after Bosnia-Herzegovina's House of Human Rights reached a
decision, Republika Srpska authorities paid DM65,000 to Esma Palic as
compensation for the disappearance of her husband, Avdo Palic, a
Bosnia-Herzegovina army colonel, OHR spokesman Oleg Milisic announced on
Jan. 8.
Last January the Bosnian House of Human Rights ruled to allow a motion
filed by Esma Palic on Nov. 18, 2000 against Bosnia-Herzegovina and
Republika Srpska over the disappearance of her husband, a senior officer
of the Bosnian army who on July 27, 1995, was taken by Bosnian Serb army
soldiers to an unknown destination while attending negotiations at U.N.
facilities in Zepa. This happened despite U.N. guarantees for Palic's
safety and before the very eyes of U.N. soldiers, and nothing has been
heard of him since.
Thus ended a unique lawsuit which lasted six years. The house ordered
Republika Srpska to pay Esma Palic DM15,000 in damages for mental pain,
and DM50,000 in damages to her husband, if he is alive, or his heirs, if
he is not alive. But the main issue still remains open: what did happen
to this Bosnian army officer who was commander of the town of Zepa at
the time of his disappearance. So far the RS authorities have offered
just one explanation. They said that on Sept. 5, 1995, RS army Col.
Dragomir Pecanac came to the Bijeljina military prison and took Avdo
Palic with him. "He told the warden that a higher interest was at stake,
and that this was what 'the parties' had agreed," explained RS President
Mirko Sarovic to Bosnia-Herzegovina Presidency member Beriz Belkic.
And while this payment, albeit belated, is viewed by the OHR as a sign
that RS "is beginning to act with respect for human rights," let us
recall the perseverance shown by this young woman, who last year
graduated from the School of Psychology in Sarajevo, in searching for
the truth about her husband's fate. Maybe the best illustration of her
determination is the fact that on the sixth anniversary of her husband's
disappearance she called a press conference on her own. What was even
more interesting is that this conference was a major event in the
Bosnian capital that day. It was covered by all radio and TV stations,
and every newspaper carried her picture and her story on its front page,
much like what happened today, after the OHR press release. Back then
Esma said that she would wake up each of the 2,190 mornings that had
elapsed since her husband vanished with his face in front of her, and
the question: "Where is he?" And she would recall his last words: "I
will do my job to the end, regardless of what happens to me. Don't
worry, you and the children will have everything you need."
Three days after their parting, two soldiers -- she would learn later
that they belonged to Radomir Furtula's unit -- took her husband from
the U.N. facility to a waiting jeep. This reporter had a chance to speak
earlier with a companion of Palic's who, at the time, was also in the
protected zone of Zepa, and was told that this was exactly what had
happened, and that several days later Furtula went around showing off
Avdo's handgun. Some say that he still carries it with him, as one of
his dearest trophies! In her own words, Esma did not go public only
because of the silence surrounding her husband's fate. She began her
account by describing the atmosphere in Zepa, which she personally
witnessed. Her younger daughter was two months old back then, and her
older one was not yet two. "We were stunned with fear by the stories
refugees from Srebrenica had told us. We began to lose hope, and the
people started organizing a defense. My husband, who was their
commander, used to tell the people: 'Don't be afraid, I'll be the last
one to leave Zepa!'"
At that time the government in Sarajevo was negotiating with the Serb
side, and the international community was mediating. Gen. Mladic was
closing in on the protected zone and calling for a peaceful surrender.
Finally an agreement was reached on July 24, and the first civilian
convoys left Zepa for Kladanj. In one of them were Esma with her
daughters. "Mladic blocked the last convoy with 806 old people, women
and children. He demanded that and the army surrender, saying that
otherwise all civilians would be killed. Ukrainian U.N. troops then
attempted to leave Zepa but the people blocked them. Sarajevo was
informed of everything that was going on, and U.N. commander in Bosnia,
Gen. Rupert Smith, decided to go to Zepa. After he was informed of
Smith's arrival, Avdo agreed to attend negotiations with the Serbs in
Zepa. He was in the woods above Zepa, with his assistant, the night
before the arrest. His assistant told me the whole story about their
going down into town. When they approached the U.N. base, the car broke
down. Avdo told him to go back to fetch some parts, and that he would
enter the base alone. As soon as he did, the Serb soldiers appeared,"
says Esma, stressing the fact that everything happened in front of
international observers and Ukrainian U.N. troops, or in front of the
eyes of the entire world.
"Aren't negotiators supposed to be protected? Witnesses claim that the
vehicle into which Avdo was taken left for Brezove Ravni, a location
above Zepa, where a Yugoslav People's Army helicopter landed soon
thereafter and immediately left. And what happened to Gen. Smith? He was
stopped at Boksanica, where Mladic's headquarters were located, and from
where he directed operations around Zepa, and where the vehicle with
Avdo had to pass if he was not put on the helicopter. Why
did Gen. Smith stop there? Was he forced to stop or stopped willingly
for a chat with Mladic while Avdo was being arrested at the base where
Smith was supposed to be? Was it a trap, and if so, planned by whom?
Because if Smith was not where he was supposed to be, and was instead
chatting with Mladic, why did not he demand that my husband be released?
I cannot believe that he knew nothing of his arrest. I would like to
know what he wrote in his report that day. Did anyone ask him to explain
what happened? Was there any pressure from "this" side on the "other"
side and the international community to secure the release of Zepa's
commander, who, after all, was the highest Bosnian army officer to ever
be arrested?"
Edward Joseph, a U.N. observer who witnessed Avdo's arrest, was stunned
by what he saw and immediately sent a report to his superiors in
Sarajevo and Zagreb. "Joseph testified to what he saw whenever I asked
him to do so. He did that on his own as well, wanting to finally shed
some light his (Avdo's) fate. He told me a number of times that he was
not guilty but that he does feel involved," says Esma. She recalls that
two figures, both playing important roles in what happened in Srebrenica
and Zepa, Gen. Rasim Delic, commander of the Bosnian army, and Alija
Izetbegovic, then chairman of the Bosnian Presidency, made contradictory
statements about her husband. Esma was particularly embittered by what
Delic had to say: "He (Delic), who was in touch with my husband from his
office, and, I should say, a very well-guarded office at that, described
him as a mentally unstable person, and said something else implying that
it was his own fault that he was arrested. And some time ago, in a TV
show, Mr. Izetbegovic, responding to a question asking him whether he
could have done more to prevent Srebrenica, said no and stressed the
example of Zepa. He added that the people of Zepa were saved by a
well-organized defense: 'There were people there who coordinated the
operation of saving the population. We had our great heroes there:
Palic, Hajric.' How are then Delic's words of a year before to be
understood? They did not harmonize their views? Or have unpleasant
memories begun to upset them?"
"But this will not help neither me or my children. I don't care the
slightest bit about anybody's conscience. I have memories of my husband
and his conscience, like all other survivors from Zepa. It was never
unclean, and because of that I must continue my search. Avdo had already
been taken away when the news arrived he was a candidate for the Golden
Lilly Medal (the highest decoration in times of war). What happened to
that proposal? Why was it never accepted? Or, let me be cynical for a
moment and ask, why did Zepa fail to share Srebrenica's fate? Whose
plans, in fact, did Avdo disturb?"
This determined woman, which recalls the fact that over 11,000
inhabitants of Srebrenica and Zepa have confirmed in writing that they
want to leave Bosnia and Herzegovina, received some sort of satisfaction
today. But neither she, not the people she mentions, have received any
answers to their questions. And she still doesn't know anything about
what matters to her most: what did actually happen to her husband?

After waves of promising discoveries, NASA announced in September that they had detected no trace of methane in Mars's atmosphere. Finding the gas would have been a strong hint familiar life was lurking that somewhere on the Red Planet. But without it, the task of finding life on Mars just got a lot harder.
Kenneth Chang, reporting for the New York Times:
The conclusion, published in the journal Science , comes from the fact that Curiosity has been looking for methane, a gas that is considered a possible calling card of microbes, and has so far found none of it. While the absence of methane does not rule out the possibility of present-day life on Mars — there are plenty of microbes, on Earth at least, that do not produce methane — it does return the idea to the realm of pure speculation without any hopeful data to back it up.
The rover Curiosity sampled the planet's thin atmosphere for several months as it rolled across Gale Crater, providing scientists with the amount of data they needed to reach their conclusions.
Despite the disappointment, Curiosity has had a successful year. It confirmed the presence of the elements necessary for life (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur), discovered water locked in Mars's soil, and uncovered evidence that Gale Crater may have once held a massive freshwater lake.
There's certain to be more discoveries in 2014 as Curiosity makes its way to the base of Mount Sharp. In the meantime, scroll through our timeline to see what the hardy rover has done so far.

Bush acknowledged that Americans face "a complex and challenging time," to which he can attest. His greatest task is to persuade the seven of every 10 Americans who now believe the country is headed in the wrong direction that it is on the right track.
The White House must deal with rising casualties in Iraq, skyrocketing health care costs, dissatisfaction with schools not only in Hawaii but across the country, increased fuel costs and rebuilding New Orleans. All those problems are difficult to address without adding to already unacceptable budget deficits. Bush called for making permanent the tax cuts that have benefited the rich.
Bush's freshest proposal was to commit the government to compete in technology with China and India, with their educated workforces and low wages. Improving the teaching of math and science and increasing federal support for research and development would cost $136 billion over 10 years, including $86 billion in making industry tax breaks permanent.
Such an effort is necessary, but Congress and the White House will be put to the test in finding such funds while coping with the many other problems.
Though the statement is a given, acknowledgment from a former Texas oil man -- whose previous energy initiatives swayed chiefly toward boosting fossil fuel production -- raised hopes that the president would announce aggressive proposals to stem the growing need for oil.
That didn't quite happen. Bush's timid submissions for more ethanol development, "zero-emission coal-fired plants" and nuclear energy abandons the nation to a shaky economic future and insecurity in the global war on terrorism.
Without a national effort to break oil's hold, state governments must do their best to at least loosen the grip. Hawaii, with a wealth of renewable resources at hand, is taking some steps to cut its needs. Governor Lingle and state lawmakers agree on several proposals to shift or expand funds for necessary incentives and development, but are meeting resistance from oil and utility industries.
Since 68 percent of the nation's oil use goes to transportation, Bush's focus on ethanol, a fuel that can be made from sugar cane, corn and other plants, was worthy. However, the administration and its allies in Congress have refused to raise fuel-efficiency standards for passenger cars and sent tens of millions of dollars to oil companies while providing just a small percentage for alternatives. Having recorded historic high profits in the past year, it is hard to argue that Exxon and Chevron really need taxpayer money for their operations.
Americans now recognize the perils of an oil-based economy and though the president admits our addiction, he has missed an opportunity to lead on an issue that has both domestic and foreign policy import.

True Friendship Quote: People enter and exit from your heart, but real friends …
People enter and exit from your heart, but real friends are always there to stay.
By: Wah Quotes -
People enter and exit from your heart, but real friends are always there to stay.
When everyone seems to conspire against you, sorrow and sadness surrounds you, and the world seems a difficult place too ,never be sad, and do remember that I will always be there with you.
Don't let money affect your friendship, Friendship is worth much more.
Ignoring old friends and running after new is just like leaving your bag of gold coins behind, in an attempt to find few new.
Friends are easy to find, But true friends are truly rare,
Let go all other friends, don't let a true friend go anywhere,
When no one else comes up for you, this friend will always be there.
Who created this friendship? where did this word come from? i benefited from friendship the most, i have been gifted with the Best Ever possible Friend in the world.
Incidences could be good or bad, loving or romantic, pleasant or tough, painful or joyous, happy or tragic but do they really matter if you have no friends to hear them out?
Each friend adds a page of good memories in our life. Best friends adds an encyclopedia. Thanks for being the encyclopedia in my life.
True friends must not suppress their opinions and feelings ,as they only lay the foundation of true friendship.
Parents are my closest friends, they never make fun of me, when I loose.
As you Daughter grows up and becomes a teenager, the telephone will become her Best Friend- and your worst Enemy.

Negative political attack ads hurt our elections – turning off many citizens who cynically proclaim they don't vote anymore.
Fortunately, electoral reform could effectively reduce the influence of negative campaigning and special interest attack ads.
Although it is already used in cities across the country and in governments across the world, ranked choice voting was most recently used in Portland, to successfully elect their mayor and will be on the ballot in November 2016 as a referendum to reform all of Maine's statewide elections.
How does ranked choice voting reduce the impact of negative campaigning and special interest attack ads? Simple. Because candidates have to compete for both first and second choice rankings, no candidate wants to offend any other candidates' supporters by enabling hostile negative attack ads that are represented by or associated with their candidacy.
Can you imagine a voter awarding a second choice to a candidate who has openly attacked their favorite candidate? Election would become cleaner and more issue-focused.
In municipal elections that have used ranked choice voting, voters have noticed a significant reduction in negative campaigning.
In an April 2014 "Civility Study" commissioned by the nonpartisan group FairVote, voters in the cities of St. Paul Minn., Minneapolis, Minn., and Cambridge, Mass., reported 10 to 15 percent reductions in all aspects of negative campaigning strategy – ranging from the overall campaign conduct to the candidates' restraint in criticizing and negatively portraying their opponents.
I urge fellow Mainers who desire more civil campaigns to join me in supporting ranked choice voting.
John Andrews
