Demand for inclusion, greater equality, social cohesion and peace, through intercultural and interreligious dialogue has never been so urgent. UNESCO supports Member States in developing innovative inclusive policies.
All countries are undergoing profound social transformations which reflect, amongst other key conditions, current demographic dynamics, rapid urbanization, the impact of new information and communication technologies, along with the rise of new democratic aspirations and also the consequences of crises and natural disasters. These are opening vast new opportunities for inclusive development. Social transformations are also giving rise to new challenges of deepening inequality, exclusion and tensions within societies, as globalization brings people with diverse backgrounds and with different cultures ever closer together.
Building on its experience to date, and with a view to developing innovative and forward-looking initiatives in the area of social transformation and intercultural dialogue, UNESCO is seeking to expand its partnerships to support Member States in the following areas:
- formulating public policies on social transformations, with special emphasis on social inclusion and renewed intercultural dialogue, by strengthening linkages between research and policy making;
- supporting Member States to empowerthe present and future generations with the appropriate knowledge, competences, skills and tools necessary to exchange, communicate and cooperate across cultural, religious and national boundaries, and to become responsible global citizens in a safer world for all.
- developing UNESCO's leadership as a laboratory of ideas and a forum for foresight - innovating and anticipating through dialogue and the mobilization of expertise.
Through the intergovernmental Management of Social Transformations (MOST) Programme, UNESCO strengthens links between scientific research and policy-making; builds human and institutional capacities for the implementation of public policies; and develops its leadership role as a laboratory of ideas and a forum for foresight.
UNESCO has been assigned with the lead role of the International Decade for the Rapprochement of Cultures by the UN General Assembly.

I want to go home...
Home is where the heart is...Home is where my memories are whether; they be good or bad. Home is where I can put up my feet without any hesitations. Home is where I can cry out loud if sad or laugh out loud if happy. Those 4 walls can take in all my nonsense without judging me. I can be myself and be a natural and care free and no worries about what those 4 walls will think about me...WHY? Why do I think that home is where I am my coziest and safe?
We all are taught that the walls are non-living things made of bricks and cement. These non living things have no feelings and do not need air to breathe and water to hydrate. Non-living things are going to stand stationary (unless hit by a natural disaster) without a blink. Maybe knowing that the home we live in; the walls that we are free in; are deaf, dumb, blind, and without feelings so, we can be as free as possible; since our little secret won't be spilled out thus, we have a "don't care" attitude within those 4 walls. Those 4 walls cannot give me comfort since it does not have passion, emotions or a heart.
I wish I had the same "don't care" attitude towards the world and be as clean as I would be sitting at home than outside; with no pretexts of someone judging me and I getting perturbed by their remarks. I should be ME when I am outside of the house just as I am myself when inside the 4 walls. This kind of attitude will make me happy and content in whatever situation I am in and I don't have to go rushing into those 4 walls of mine where I have to rewind myself and go through the series of events which made me feel uncomfortable.
Life is short, and Time is money. Ask a patient who has been given couple of months to live and he will tell you the essence of time and life. Why do we have to live in that pretext of being judged. We are individuals and we gotta have a different opinion and that's what makes us different and unique. We can be as free in the world as we are in those 4 walls and believe me, life will be more fun loving and less stressful.
I know I am going to work on those guidelines and show the world my true colors so; that at the end of the day, when I am heading home. I am NOT going home with a heavy heart but a happy and content one who is going to those 4 walls to rest and take up another day with a different new challenge.
You are right Ruchira. I know why I love my home it's so non judgemental and I can't stand judgemental people one bit.
Voted up.
You are right. Home is where our heart is. I have 2 of these homes. Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely weekend!
Agree, life is too short and we should enjoy each moment not even inside the 4 walls but outside with our true color. Loved it. Voted up!
This is one of the most beautiful and inspirational Hubs I have ever read. I voted it UP, etc.
Home is where the heart is - how true. We can do what we want without anybody judging us and be relaxed. Great hub.
I often dream of a day of hardly ever leaving my home !.......very nice write!.....:-}
of course one should always be oneself wherever one is but then being a part of society means there are always some restrictions on ones behaviour which is why we need a home.
a home to take another perspective is not a grouping of dead walls but a place which is alive because of the emotional attachments we have with the walls because of the number of times the walls have stood by us through grief and joy.
i rememeber the words of the poet javed akthar who while speaking of the room he was brought up in and which he has aways thought of as his home said"woh kamara baat karta tha"(that room would talk to me)
so try and be as natural in the real world as possible but when you can't, do not fret, just come back home and let the walls talk to you.
...well this is an essential meditation on the most beautiful place in the world - home - whether it's a physical place or in one's mind - and your hallowed hubspace feels like home to me - because your writing is always provocative, intoxicating and inspiring ....
This was a very nice hub. You speak words of truth and messages of hope. Well written and an enjoyable read.
This was a very though provoking article...well put!
Ruchira.. excellent message. This is some thing I think about often. Truly glad to read such a nice hub and I really wish everyone could be like that and not be judged :)
I agree, beautiful Hub. There's nothing like home. :)
Beautiful message conveyed by this hub and well written :)

Sicilian wine making has been wholly transformed since the 1980s. Once known primarily for rich fortified Marsala wines, the island now has a well-earned reputation for good quality everyday wines, red and white.
Our focus will be on the superior wines produced on the island, particularly the quality wines being produced from indigenous varietals. The large variety of grapes used on the island makes for wonderful diversity of styles. Excellent white wines are made from local varieties Catarrato, Grecanico, Inzolia, Grillo and Caricante.
The best known Sicilian red varietal is Nero d'Avola. Although suited for drinking young it is increasingly being used by Sicilian wine to make fine wines intended for ageing. There are surprises such as the fragrant Frappato blended with Nero d'Avola to make Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, but perhaps the greatest discovery will be the varietal Nerello Mascalese, grown on the slopes of Etna, which produces wonderful Burgundian style reds.
French varietals such as Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay and Viognier are increasingly important across Sicily. Planeta, one of the most successful Sicilian wineries initially built their name on the success of French varietals.
This trip has been organized with private access to some of the region's most renowned producers, including a wonderful day with the Tasca d'Almerita family at their estate.
This unique tour is created specifically for private parties of ten or more and is perfect for wine enthusiasts who enjoy the romance of Italian wine culture. Engage with the wine producers directly in the terroir. Since our bespoke arrangements at wineries are being designed with the producers the visits are more rewarding and will uniquely allow you to source restaurant quality wines, wherever possible, with case discounts.
"The wineries and the cultural sights were without exception absolutely marvellous, our guides charming and expert and the countryside a picture with some of the most beautiful wild flowers most of us had ever seen."

Things change so quickly in the world of technology! That's nothing but great for us and I love all the apps for pregnancy, L&D and after the baby is born.
It was not long ago that we actually had to use a watch to time contractions — and now there's a free app that times the contractions and keeps the data on a log that it can give back to you as a chart or a graph (there are several – I have the free version of "Contraction Monitor.")
However that app is old news! What are some of the new technologies that you guys are using? I recently have stumbled across:
First — An App: Check it out here on Instagram to filter and add words and cute little symbols to all your baby pictures!
And Second — For all the funny, joyous & difficult moments that only a Mom can appreciate:
Check out Emojimom….. What else is out there Moms? Share the wealth — we need to know!

Hi - firstly may I say that I've found the information on your web site the most comprehensive and understandable that I've found on the web.
I'm new to RC modelling although I have a background in electronics. I'm starting from scratch to look at a model hovercraft, the SRN1 - the first ever. I'm trying to understand about motor selection and all that goes with it.
Obviously articles are geared to aeroplanes and not hovercraft - but that's what I'm researching at the moment.
Anyway, my question - in the article about LiPos there's the following paragraph -
For example, this 2200mah LiPo battery pack with a 30C rating can safely provide 30 x 2200mah = 66,000 mA or 66 amps.
Sorry, I can't see where the "C" figure fits in here. The figure 2200mah is the capacity of the battery, i.e. 2200 milliAmps / hour. It would supply 2200 milliAmps for an hour or 1100 milliAmps for 2 hours, etc.
I can't see that multiplying the capacity, in units of mah, would give a result measured in Amps. What unit is the "C" figure?
Sorry if this sounds a bit confused, any comment/assistance would be very much appreciated. thank you.

In a goodwill gesture, Speaker of US House of Representatives John Boehner has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address a joint session of the US Congress at a date convenient to him.
However, Modi would not be able to address the Congress when he comes to Washington DC in the last week of September mainly because of the unpredictability of the schedule of both the House of Representatives and the Senate due to mid-term elections in November.
In a letter addressed to Modi, Speaker Boehner said there is an interest in the US House of Representatives in inviting the new Indian Prime Minister to address a Joint Meeting of the Congress.
More than 80 lawmakers had recently written to Boehner, urging him to invite Modi to address a joint session of the Congress.
A similar letter was written by several Senators to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
"If not for the unpredictability of the House schedule in late September of this year, an invitation for you to address a Joint Meeting during your upcoming trip to the United States would have been extended," Boehner wrote in his letter dated July 30, a copy of which was obtained by PTI today.
"I would be very interested in exploring with you the possibility of a visit to the United States Capitol and an address to a Joint Meeting of Congress should your travels bring you back to our country in the months and years ahead," Boehner said.
"I wish you the best of luck for a safe and successful journey to the United States in September. We look forward to working with you and your government to strengthen the relationship between the people of your country and those of the United States, and to build a more peaceful and prosperous world," Boehner said in his letter.
The letter from Boehner to Modi is said to be a rare goodwill gesture, as such invitation letters are normally issued with specific time and date.
However, Boehner has issued an open-ended letter inviting Modi to address a joint session of the Congress.

To be honest, I get inspired when I go to physical therapy.
Physical therapy is not easy, but I knew that when I signed up. I knew that it would take time out of my busy schedule and I knew that the therapist would bend and flex my foot in ways that would kill. But I also knew that I would be surrounded by supportive people and that I would see great results. And I was right. All the staff members are very nice and accommodating and my foot is feeling so much better. I see more and more progress after each one of my appointments.
When I first walked into the training room at Physical Therapy & Beyond two weeks ago, I immediately noticed posters, signs and magnets around the room. Some are funny and some are serious, but one thing I love about them, is that they are all inspirational.
Even the one that looks like this:
No matter what exercise I am doing, whether I am balancing on a board or stretching my calves, I have something to look at that reminds me why I am doing what I am doing. Why I am committed to making a 100% recovery from my surgery; why I am trying my best to fight through the worst of times; and why I am not giving up.
My favorite sign is hanging up right in front of the elliptical.
I make sure to read this at every appointment because the messages within it are so powerful. I think everyone should read this at least once a week because I am almost certain that at least one of these lines, if not all, will resonate with everyone who reads it.
One of the lines that is really important to me, is "Be generous and truthful." It's not every day that you meet someone who possesses both of these qualities. Qualities that many were taught in Kindergarten to have. There are so many people in the world who are not happy with their life and who take it out on others. Being rude to others is going to get you nowhere, nor is it going to make your life better.
Truthfulness is one of the most attractive qualities someone can possess. It is such a nice feeling to know that you can trust someone, but there is nothing more disappointing then discovering that someone who you thought you could trust turned out to be someone different than who they said they were.
Going to physical therapy has turned into something I really enjoy. I like setting aside 4 hours during my week to relax and focus on me and what I need to do to get myself better. Physical Therapy & Beyond provides that for me and I am so grateful!

AS Karen Danczuk, the estranged wife of Simon Danczuk MP for Rochdale, was pictured last week in The Sun newspaper entering La Belle beauty parlour in leafy Cheadle, Stockport, she said 'My healing starts now'. She followed this up by branding her own 38-year-old brother, Michael Burke, a 'selfish coward' and declaring 'I hope he rots in jail'. Mr. Burke had just been sentenced to 15-years on eight counts of rape and one indecent assault against his sister and two other women who cannot be named. Mrs. Burke had previously told The Sun, 'My brother is a monster for raping me'. She had told the jury the abuse perpetrated by her brother had ruined her schooling, left her incapable of love and intimacy and that she struggles with depression and anxiety. Those of our readers who may not had seen Karen Danczuk, who is said to be a regular panelist on ITV's 'Loose Women', and has performed on 'Bear Grylls', may care to peruse the colourful detailed report below in The Sun's rival newspaper The Mail on Sunday published in July 2015:
'claim of threats to kill ...' - The Danczuk's Dark Side!
Simon Danczuk and estranged wife Karen and a 'claim of threats to kill ...'
'claim of threats to kill ...' - The Danczuk's Dark Side!
Simon Danczuk and estranged wife Karen and a 'claim of threats to kill ...'
Dark side of the Danczuks: A Spanish family holiday suddenly abandoned. A text that read: 'I'm scared.' A claim of threats to kill... Disturbing questions about the MP who crusades against abuse
By David Rose for The Mail on Sunday
PUBLISHED: 22:06, 11 July 2015 | UPDATED: 13:50, 12 July 2015
It's not often I say this but I'm scared,' said the midnight text that Karen Burke sent to her mother, Sue, from Spain. 'Who knows how long I'll have to stay in [the] airport for? I can't believe he's done this!' It was very late on August 25, 2008, and Karen's future husband Simon Danczuk was about to dump her, their infant son, Milton, and her seven-year-old niece Eboni at Alicante airport after a titanic holiday row – without airline tickets or enough money to get home.
Soon to be elected as Rochdale's Labour MP, Mr Danczuk would later become famous as a scourge of child abusers. But that day at Alicante after an evening of escalating conflict with his partner, he seemed ready to leave both Karen and the children to their fates. They were forced to wait at the airport all night while her family in Rochdale desperately tried to arrange and pay for flights home for them the next day.
Today, The Mail on Sunday can reveal disturbing new details of this incident – and of contemporary statements about it drawn up for a secretive Labour Party inquiry. These alleged that although he was apparently provoked, Mr Danczuk not only abandoned but physically assaulted his partner.
The inquiry was held not to decide whether Mr Danczuk had attacked Karen but whether those who claimed he had, by so doing so had brought the party into disrepute. It ruled in Mr Danczuk's favour and five party members were expelled. Interviewed by this newspaper last week, some of the statements' authors – close members of Simon and Karen Danczuk's families – insisted they stand by what they said, and they remain certain they are relating the story as Karen told it to them.
Mr Danczuk has always denied the row became violent and that he assaulted Karen. Afterwards, they were reconciled and she now also denies the claims of an assault. She told Rochdale Online that she was distressed by the accusation, describing it as 'very offensive'. And Mr Danczuk slammed the allegations as 'vicious mischief making', adding that they were 'totally untrue and absolute nonsense'.
But even if the allegations of violence were exaggerated, it is clear they emerged directly from what Karen told her family that night and during the following day. The incident raises disturbing questions about the volatility of the couple's subsequent marriage – which recently juddered to a very public halt. Our investigation comes as the Sunday Mirror today reports bizarre claims that Mrs Danczuk considered paying a lapdancer £1,000 to sleep with her husband in an attempt to end their marriage. Today we can reveal that:

Been a while since posting. Just alot going on and stuff running around in my head and can't get a grip on it or a handle on all of it.
Been working on getting the rock garden cleaned out and redone for the wedding this coming month. Has been a real job too. What a mess it has been and a challenge to. Yesterday Marty called me early and I mean early (they get up at 4:30 every morning and me I am not a morning person so they delight in getting my unhappy butt up!) to come and go with her to pick up a half ton of pea gravel and the stone edging for it. Then in the early evening when it has cooled off she called over here because my brother told her to call her sister (wow sister...I like that) to get over there as there was work to do. Course now I have her bright ass yellow truck in the drive as the gas beast is over with pea gravel still in it. The gas beast is a full size dodge ram truck. She don't get a very good gas mileage but then again I put 60 in at the beginning of the month and it last all month. I do not do much running around so it is not to bad. The most it goes is back and forth here in Bone Gap.
Marty and I joined a gym and we have been going to work out around her work schedule to do so. Neither of us wants to go by ourselves not only is it safer in case one of us gets hurt. Let's just say it has been an experience neither one of us will repeat. And by that the other day when we were there.....I am so sure they had a good laugh when they looked at the cam.....Marty got on a machine I forget what it is called, but you adjust for hanging upside down and she did not change the settings on it and got stuck... upside down and almost fell out of it.Well in my hurry to get to her I tripped getting off the exercise bike that sits low. Needless to say I don't think she will be trying it in the future!!!! We looked at each other and busted out laughing like idiots.....but was worth it to.
My tomcat Tigger is such a sweet boy. The only thing about him being outside and all is the fact the landlord has a mommy cat (what I call her and then socks and sweetie) and two kittens. They are suppose to be barn cats but she had the kittens here under my trailer. So of course I am now feeding 4 cats instead of one. I will not see them go hungry call me soft hearted but it is what it is. I have to admit that the kittens are cute as can be. I have a hummingbird feeder out on the porch and the silly kittens try to catch the hummingbirds and the feeder is not close enough where they are jumping up and then they go splat into the flower bed. You would think they learn not to do it but that is not the case....it is not uncommon for me to see cat noses against my front door. Or laying all over the porch. It is an old antique door that has 15 panes of glasses (pain to clean to ) and has a yep! Skelton key for it. Yesterday Sacha was scooting around on the floor while I was working in the kitchen and he went to the door and did his feathers up thing and I explained to him that is why they are on the other side of that door for his safety. They of course was there looking in at him.....
Today is going to be a laid back day for me as fought off and on all night a headache trying to work into a migraine.....not good this morning I feel like a wrung out dishcloth. I am enjoying the quite as my babies has adjusted to having their own room and only out here off and on through the day. No screaming which is really a welcome change for me. The other day I laid down on the sofa and took a nap. And as Sacha has to sleep weird now (don't get me started on that) he laid down with me. We slept for 2 hours.....and would have slept longer if my phone did not ring.

Bagpipes at 6am: Shropshire pipers to mark centenary - with video
The sound of bagpipes will ring out at dawn across the country on Remembrance Sunday.
Four members of the Shropshire Bagpipe Highland Society have chosen to mark the centenary of the end of the First World War in a particularly unique way.
At 6am they will play When the Battle's O'er, by William Robb, at the time the Armistice was signed on November 11, 1918.
Hundreds of other pipers are expected to do the same across the country.
William Cochrane, from Shrewsbury, is travelling to Farmborough to play, but there will be pipers in Ellesmere, Church Stretton and Shrewsbury Quarry.
He said: "At least 2,000 pipers were killed during the Great War so this is a way for us to remember them and everyone who was killed.
"Pipers all over the county will be stood outside churches, cathedrals and cenotaphs at 6am and will play the tune for five minutes."
William said he has thought about the reaction from residents who will be woken by the sound of bagpipes this weekend but hopes they will understand the poignancy.
"It is a wonderful song every piper learns during their career," he said.
"When the Queen is at Buckingham Palace she is awoken by a piper playing outside her window. This Sunday some people will have the same experience."

"The storyline will be that starting this coming Monday [for RAW], I'm gonna go back, and it's going to be a big return. That will lead to, hopefully, what will be the biggest WrestleMania of all time at Giants Stadium. I will headline that show, with someone who I can't say right now. We've got an amazing four months lined up and planned out that will culminate in the biggest WrestleMania of all time. It's going to be a hell of a thing."

Lastingham, St Mary's Church
History, tourist information, and nearby accommodation
HERITAGE HIGHLIGHTS: Superb Norman crypt
Around AD 725 the first stone church was built, and Cedd's remains were reburied beside the altar.
Carter was known to play the violin to entertain visitors to the pub. When questioned by the archdeacon on the propriety of his actions, Carter replied that his parishioners enjoyed three advantages, being instructed in religion, fed and entertained all at once. He argued that this method spending the Sabbath was so agreeable that his charges were 'imperceptibly led along the paths of piety and morality...'
But there is really just one thing that draws visitors from across the UK to Lastingham, and it is the Norman crypt. It is, if not unique, at least very unusual in that it has aisle on either side of a central passage leading to a stone altar table, lit by a single lancet window in the east wall.
The huge, rounded columns supporting the aisle are beautifully carved with ornate decoration, dating to Stephen's work between 1078-88. Stephen and his monks almost certainly reused earlier Saxon stones around the base of the crypt pillars, some dating to the 8th century. The traditional site of Cedd's burial is immediately to the right of the altar table.
I've visited Lastingham twice, and it is amazing how simply descending the steep stairs to the crypt brings with it an air of stillness and calm. This is a place for hushed voices, for sitting quietly and absorbing the silence and the pervading aura of history. It is, as Simon Jenkins says, 'a special place'.

The following are formulas to calculate the amount of material you'll need for a variety of building projects.
Width x Length x Height, divided by 27 = number of yards of concrete needed
Foundation Masonry Block
8" high / 16" long / 3/8" mortar normal joint height.
Width x length, divided by 100 = number of squares of shingles needed
Width x Height, divided by 100 Square Feet = number of squares of siding needed
Width of room x length of room, divided by 9 = number of square feet needed for room.
Wood Siding
Width of board minus distance of lapping = coverage of wood siding per board
Width of area to be sided x height of area to be sided, divided by coverage calculated above = lineal feet of siding you need.
7 bricks = one square feet of coverage
Width of area to be covered x height of area to be covered, divided by 7 = number of bricks needed.
Elevation Conversion
Elevation measured in 10ths per foot. 1 of elevation = one foot or 12" equals one foot.
Normal measurement 12 inches per foot.
Convert Elevation to Inches
One Foot of Elevation measurement equals 1.2 inches of normal measurements.
Common Terms Used
Board feet = (thickness (in inches) x width (in inches) x length (in inches)) divided by 12 Lineal feet = length only of board.

For, the state that records among the highest number of cyber crimes in the country has just 63 specialised cyber cops. Consequently, the police department has now sought a Centre of Excellence.
Bhushan Gulabrao Borase, SP, cyber crime, told TOI: "We have proposed that a centre for excellence be set up in Bengaluru. The centre will have state-of-the-art equipment for imaging, forensics and analysis, latest software to help us detect crime faster and most importantly, training for police officers in using the software and hardware."
The demand comes at a time when the number of crimes being reported is increasing but police is filing charge-sheets in barely half of them. Besides, the specialised cyber cell in CID (including the cyber police station established in the Commissionerate late last year) has been dealing with only a fraction of cyber crime cases reported across the state.
In 2014, for example, out of the 1,020 cases reported in the state, the CID looked into only 50 cases, a majority of which were dropped and less than 20 were charge-sheeted (see table). The year before that only 7 of the 49 reported cases were charge-sheeted.
Unlike conventional crimes, where investigation can be done largely within the state, the logistics required for investigating Cyber Crime is huge, Borase said. "There are no borders when it comes to cyber crime. With criminals operating from across the world and using servers in the US, the UK and so on, we are unable to arrest those the perpetrators. And unless arrests are made, no charge-sheet can be filed," he added.
To check cyber crime and improve investigation, better cooperation is also required from industries, banks and telecom companies. "The biggest bottleneck is the sheer number of bogus SIM cards. Neither documents nor addresses are properly verified by telecom companies. KYC norms are also not fulfilled by banks. These are national issues and we hope that Central agencies such RBI will look into it. In the mean time, we are writing to telecom companies and banks to ensure they take precautions as well," Borase explained.
Prevention better than cure
Keeping in mind the challenges, the cyber crime police are equal focussing on preventing crimes. "The highest number of cases reported are with regard to credit/debit card frauds, lottery fraud (Nigerian scam, in popular terms), matrimonal or job scams, distribution of obscene photos and identity theft," Borase said. Considering that most of these crimes can be prevented using simple precautionary measures, police are creating awareness on these frauds to alert citizens to them.
In 2015, cyber crime police stations were opened at the police commissionerate on Infantry Road, Mysuru, Davanagere, Dharwad, Mangaluru and Kalaburagi. Only 18 cases were filed in the cyber crime police station in CID.
Two weeks after launching a WhatsApp number for its control room (9480801000), city police are gearing up to extend the facility by providing citizens with WhatsApp numbers of divisional control rooms.
Police have so far received four complaints on the present number. Three of them were traffic related: parked in no parking and one way violations. The other one was regarding people creating public nuisance under the influence of alcohol.
"Apart from these, we have received some 30-40 congratulatory messages," said Nagendra Kumar, DCP (Control Room). The idea of the WhatsApp number is to provide citizens better access to police officers, Kumar added.
"If not major complaints, citizens can alert us about problems like trouble because of a bar in residential area, or, seek additional policing on some stretch at night and so on. Platform like WhatsApp also ensure accountability considering that the complaint is on record," he said.
Police commissioner NS Megharikh, who has over 5,32,000 followers on Twitter, said, "The response and support for police on Twitter continues and now police will also be using the enhanced Twitter dashboard for better analysis of complaints received on the social media platform," he said.
The dashboard allows the commissionerate to analyse tweets in real time. Discussions for expansion of the control room has already begun with the cops inviting various companies to make presentations on enhancing the police's interaction with the public through technology.

How To Pack For a Busy Day
If there's one skill every woman should learn, it's how to pack a bag for her busiest day. Us on-the-go gals know the struggle of keeping organized and being prepared for anything all too well, and while we may sometimes wing it, it helps to stock your bag with items that may just save you in those hectic times of need. Whether you're a daily commuter, running errands, transitioning from work to play, or are traveling to a faraway desitination, learning how to pack smart is a skill that every wanderess should learn. So take charge, grab your favorite tote, and prep your bag with these items so you're ready for whatever the universe may throw your way.
1. Written material
Journal & Pen - for meetings, interviews, to do lists, calendar memos, travel treasures, doodles, reminders, and more. Great for keeping organized.
Books/Magazines - for keeping entertained on trains, planes, and automobiles; in waiting rooms and on lunch breaks.
2. Life savors
Disinfecting Wipes - for awful commutes or messy meals.
Fruit/Nut Bars - for those times you're desperate for a quick pick me up.
Fan - for those scorching hot days where it's almost unbearable to be outside, there's no AC in the subway, or you're in need of an impromptu fan machine selfie.
Charger - for those days that you just can't seem to keep your phone charged - we'll blame this on Instagram, Snapchat, and Trivia Crack.
Headphones - for listening to your favorite mixtapes or when the airplane has that movie that you were dying to see in theaters.
Collapsible Tote - for grocery shopping, running errands, or when you just couldn't stop yourself from shopping a little too much.
3. Beauty Enhancers
Hair Bands/Pins - for horrible hairdays, gym visits, or for impromptu updos for evening events.
On-the-Glow Blush & Illuminator - for that all in one makeup must have. Helps to brighten complexion and adds a natural flush of color to lips/cheeks.
Face Mist - to instantly wake up tired/dull skin and keep hydrated on sunny days.
Makeup Wipes - for makeup mistakes, cleansed slates, or to remove product before sleep or a long flight.
Sunscreen - for those sunny days at the beach, park, or wanderess wanderings around a new city.
Statement Jewelry - for an impromptu meeting, appointment, date, dinner, or drinks. A piece of statement jewelry and a colorful lip is the easiest way to transition your look from day to night.

But, I'm going to keep writing and if you keep reading then you must be bored out of your mind as well. Why are you reading a post called 'The nothing thread' anyway? The title even holds little intrest. Come on already, stop reading this, your wasting time you could be doing something much more productive. Answer some of those thousands of questions and threads where people need some real help. Honestly, your doing nothing now too, that makes you as bad as me for writing this useless thing. Get out there and help someone, have some fun, download some skins, comment on those things, they want to know what you truely think. All those 'Nice' comments are cool but tell a skinner what you really think. Oh no, see it started to turn into something so I got to end this cause it is after all the 'nothing' thread.

Let's face it – you need your boss. Unless you work for yourself, the boss is still an organizational necessity, and a big part of your work experience. Your boss hands out work assignments, makes sure you get paid, keeps you from falling asleep in meetings, and hopefully protects you when you do something stupid. But sometimes the boss is the last to notice when you're ready for something new. This is understandable. After all, they're focused on making the team look good (not to mention themselves) and that can be a full-time job. No, it's your job to manage your boss, and that includes telling her when you're ready for something else. Like a new project or assignment, or even a new job somewhere else in the company.
Now, you have to bring a couple of things to this conversation. You can't just walk in and say "I want to do something different". First, you need to be on top of your current work – you better be knocking the ball out of the park, or asking for a better, cooler role is going to get you laughed out of her office. The one "must-have" for this discussion is a great performance record. It also helps to have a sense of the culture, and "how things work around here." If you've only been in your role for a year, and the unwritten code is that managers need to "pay their dues", well, you better factor that into your thinking. It's probably going to be an issue.
Second, you have to bring a plan with you. You need to do your homework. You need to have an idea of what you want, and a few reasons why this is such a brilliant idea. You're selling here, and you better be prepared to answer your boss's questions. If you want to do more, why do you think you can take on more team members or responsibility? If you want to move to a new role, who will do your work? Who's on the bench to replace you? Why do you need to make this move right now? What are your long-term career goals? Think through both sides of the conversation; anticipate what your boss is likely to say, feel and do – and be ready with your arguments. Prepare to defend your position, and try to steer the conversation toward why this is good for you and the company.
Lay out your ideal next job and the reasons why it makes sense. Maybe it's expanding your current role or shedding some of what you do to focus on a specific task. Maybe it's moving up in your current department, to a leadership position just above your current role. Or maybe it's an entirely new job elsewhere in the company. Whatever it is, have your facts straight, and a strong rationale for your reasoning. Say: "here's why I think this is good for me and the team/company." Be firm, but don't back her into a corner. The secret is to ask for her input and support in helping you achieve your goals. After telling her what you'd like to do, say: "I'd like to get your thoughts on this – what do you think?" And as the conversation goes along, don't be afraid to ask for her support directly. Say: "can you help me make this happen?" or "is there anything else you need from me?"
Your immediate boss is probably the most important person in your work life, certainly as far as your career is concerned. Each boss you work for has the power to help you move forward, or put you in a box. They have the ability to accelerate your career, or frankly, derail it. Don't be that manager who sits in the same job year after year waiting for the boss to offer a new and exciting role. Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, and go out and make the case for yourself. If you don't do it, who will? Do you really want to risk putting your career in someone else's hands? Make your boss an offer, present it with passion and conviction, and appeal to her sense of pride in helping you move your career forward. If you've nailed your current role, chances are good that your boss will be there for you. Just don't be afraid to have the conversation!

Are you planning on getting married in a church? Churches are one of the very cheapest places to get married, especially C of E Churches as they are the only religious establishments where you don't need to also buy in a registrar. Luckily my home village church is C of E as a registrar in North Yorkshire will set you back about £400, it's cheaper in some counties, I have no idea why...
But if you are planning on getting wed in a Church then you should know that most charge you extra for the organist (and for the bells to be rung for that matter)
The thing is, you don't actually need the organist, most churches also have a piano and most people know someone who can play piano. So ask around, you never know. Alternatively, if you don't want the traditional 'here comes the bride' or wedding march then its possibly safer (and cheaper) to take your own music playing devices. The video below demonstrates why...
My advice if you're going to book the church organist is to hear them play first, you wouldn't book a band without hearing them would you? The above, I'm sure, is rare but I have heard some pretty bad ones across the country.
Also did you know that you don't just have to sing religious songs in church? Ask your Vicar about this, we sang 'Perfect Day' by Lou Reed. When I asked my Vicar about singing non religious songs he said "sure, so long as it's not Pagan or anything..." I did struggle a little to find a nice song that was a) fairly easy to sing b) that every generation would know c) was church appropriate and d) not cheesy. But with Perfect Day, we totally nailed it.
I'd love to hear if anyone else has sung/ is singing non religious songs in their church ceremony!

Agreed - *always* hear the organist first! I went to a wedding a few years ago at which the organist was clearly drunk (and getting drunker as the ceremony went on). Towards the end of the exit music, the sound of him/her falling off the stool (while continuing to play, badly) was clearly audible.ReplyDelete
That's actually quite funny... from an outside perspective, I hope they got a refund!ReplyDelete
LOL! The organist seems drunk.ReplyDelete
Quite funny and also amazing. Loved it!!ReplyDelete

Since the first appearance of The Heap in 1942, beasts from the bayou have captured reader imaginations and have been a staple of the horror genre, whether under the guise of such characters as Swamp Thing, Man-Thing, Solomon Grundy, or even Marvin the Dead Thing! Some of these nightmarish hulks have also found their way beyond comics, into novels, live-action TV series, toy shelves, cartoon shows, and even major motion pictures. Now, authors Jon B. Cooke and George Khoury reveal the mysteries behind these fascinating beasts, exploring the origins of these creatures through dozens of fascinating interviews with the creative talents behind the comics, including Steve Bissette, Steve Gerber, Mike Ploog, Rick Veitch, John Totleben, Val Mayerik, and Alan Moore! Cover by Frank Cho!

I think this is the third or fourth time TwoMorrows has scheduled this book, so we'll see. It seems like it'll be an entertaining enough book, and I like most of the creators interviewed. Gerber and Bissette interviews, in particular, are always worth reading, and I look forward to the Ploog and Totleben interviews for other perspectives of those eras and their collaborations.

Dropzone Scripting API
OverviewDropzone can easily be extended using simple ruby scripts. Creating a Dropzone destination is as simple as writing your script, giving it a .dropzone extension, and then double clicking it to add the destination to Dropzones grid.
Dropzone uses destination scripts to implement all the built-in destinations that ship with the application, such as the Move Files, Share Text and FTP Upload destinations. These scripts are located inside the application bundle and can be viewed by right clicking on Dropzone in the Finder, clicking on 'Show Package Contents' and navigating to:
Contents/Resources/Destination Scripts/You should familiarize yourself with the layout of these scripts as user scripts follow the same format. User scripts are installed to:
~/Library/Application Support/Dropzone/Destination ScriptsInside the user scripts directory there are symbolic links to the lib and AppleScripts directories. When Dropzone runs for the first time it creates these links to point to the same folders inside the application bundle. This allows you to easily reference key libraries and tools such as CocoaDialog from within your script.
Built-in and user contributed scripts can be browsed at the github repositories.
Destination Meta DataIn order to describe your destination to Dropzone, you must provide destination meta data in the following format at the top of your script. You must provide all fields except for IconURL, KeyModifiers and OptionsNIB which are optional. You must also include the 'Dropzone Destination Info' comment at the top as in the below example.
# Dropzone Destination Info # Name: Destination name (1) # Description: A short description of what your destination does (2) # Events: Indicates which events your script is able to handle, can be either dragged, clicked or both - see the Script Events section for more information # Handles: Indicates which dragging types your script is able to handle, can be either NSFilenamesPboardType, NSStringPboardType or both - see the Dragging Types section for more information (3) # KeyModifiers: Optional field that indicates which key modifiers your destination script supports. Can be either Control, Option, Command or Shift. # Creator: Your name (4) # URL: A link to your site (5) # IconURL: A URL that is a path to a PNG image to be used for the destination. Dropzone automatically downloads this (6) # OptionsNIB: An optional panel that Dropzone loads into the configuration panel to get other information from the user such as an application, destination folder or login details (7)
When Dropzone loads your script, it will parse your meta data and show it in the configuration panel like in the above screenshot.
Script Events
Dropzone destination scripts must have either a dragged method, a clicked method, or both. The dragged method gets called when something is dragged onto your destination and the clicked method gets called when a user clicks on your destination in the grid. You can tell Dropzone which events your script supports by using the Events field in the meta data section of your script. Several examples of how to do this are given below:
Click only
# Dropzone Destination Info # Name: Clickable Destination # Description: This destination will only respond to click events. # Events: Clicked
Drag only
# Dropzone Destination Info # Name: Destination that only accepts drags # Description: This destination will only respond to drag events. # Handles: NSFilenamesPboardType # Events: Dragged
Click & Drag
# Dropzone Destination Info # Name: Destination that accepts clicks and drags # Description: This destination responds to both clicks and drags. # Handles: NSFilenamesPboardType # Events: Clicked, Dragged
The Creator and URL fields have been left out of the above examples for the sake of brevity. Note that you only need to include the Handles field for destinations that support the drag event. If you specify that you support an event in your meta data, then your script must implement the corresponding method for that event i.e. if your script supports the dragged event, then you must implement the dragged method.
Dragging TypesIf your destination supports the dragged event, then you must specify the types of content your destination can handle in the meta data as follows:
Handle files only
# Handles: NSFilenamesPboardType
Handle strings of text only
# Handles: NSStringPboardType
Handle both files and strings of text
# Handles: NSFilenamesPboardType, NSStringPboardTypeIf you specify NSFilenamesPboardType then the user will only be allowed to drag files onto your destination. If you specify NSStringPboardType then the user will only be allowed to drag strings of text onto your destination.
If you specify both types, then either type may be dragged and your script will need to determine the type as follows:
case ENV['DRAGGED_TYPE'] when 'NSFilenamesPboardType' # Code to handle dragged files goes here # $items is an array of the dragged filenames when 'NSStringPboardType' # Code to handle dragged text goes here # $items[0] is the dragged string of text endWhen files are dragged onto your destination, an array of dragged filenames is stored in the $items global variable for your script to access. If your destination supports the NSStringPboardType then the dropped text is contained in the first element of this array i.e. $items[0].
Providing Status UpdatesYour script can optionally provide status updates to to tell Dropzone what it is doing as it executes so that the floating status window can be updated. To do this you need to send output to Dropzone, and you must do this by calling methods on the $dz global which is an instance of the Dropzone class. This is setup for you when Dropzone calls your script. The methods for providing status updates from your script are outlined below:
determinate(value)Value may be either true or false. Determinate mode (true) indicates that you will be providing progress information to Dropzone from your script as a percent and indeterminate mode (false) means that no progress information will be provided.
You can switch between determinate and indeterminate modes as your script executes. For example, you might choose to resize some images and then upload them to a server - you may not be able to provide progress information as the images are resized, but you can provide progress information while uploading them to a server. Therefore you would tell Dropzone to use indeterminate mode initially and then switch to determinate mode once you begin uploading. You should use determinate mode and provide progress information wherever possible.
begin(message)Tells Dropzone to display the floating status window if it isn't already showing and sets the label above the progress bar to the specified message.
You can call this method multiple times as your script executes to update the displayed text.
$dz.begin("Uploading files...")
percent(value)Value is an integer value between 0 and 100. Dropzone updates the status window progress bar to reflect this value.
You only need to call this method when in determinate mode.
finish(message)Sets the message that will be shown in large text before the status window is hidden.
This method only sets the message, it will not be displayed and the window hidden until you call $dz.url. You should only call this method once.
$dz.finish("Task Complete")
url(url)Sets a URL to be placed on the pasteboard. This is useful for writing scripts that result in content being made available at a URL so a user can quickly paste the URL into other applications.
If you do not wish to specify a URL, you must still call this method with false as the argument. This method also causes the message that was passed to the finish method to be displayed and then the status window will be faded out after a short delay. You should only call this method once and it should be the last thing your script does before it terminates.
ExamplesThe following would result in the URL http://aptonic.com being placed on the pasteboard.
$dz.url("http://aptonic.com")You can use the following if you do not wish to provide a URL:
text(text)You can use this in place of $dz.url. It behaves exactly the same except that it does not attempt to encode the argument as a URL so you can place raw strings of text on the pasteboard.
ExamplesThe following would result in the raw string 'This is a test string that will not be URL encoded' being placed on the pasteboard.
$dz.text("This is a test string that will not be URL encoded")
Example ScriptAn example that demonstrates how to combine the meta data, status updates and dragged/clicked methods into a working destination script is given below:
#!/usr/bin/ruby # Dropzone Destination Info # Name: Test Destination # Description: Provides the ability to do some cool thing. # Handles: NSFilenamesPboardType # Events: Clicked, Dragged # Creator: Aptonic Software # URL: http://aptonic.com # IconURL: http://aptonic.com/destinations/icons/test.png def dragged $dz.determinate(true) file_path = $items[0] $dz.begin("Doing something with #{file_path}...") $dz.percent(20) sleep(1) $dz.percent(50) sleep(1) $dz.percent(100) sleep(1) $dz.finish("Finished Task") $dz.url(false) end def clicked $dz.finish("You clicked me!") $dz.url(false) endTo use the above script, create a new file named 'Test Destination.dropzone' with the above code and then double click it to add the destination to Dropzone. Once added to your grid, try dragging a file or folder onto the destination and Dropzone will execute the scripts dragged method. Also, try opening the grid and clicking on the destination, this will cause the scripts clicked method to be executed.
When you install a destination script by double clicking on it, Dropzone copies it to the ~/Library/Application Support/Dropzone/Destination Scripts/ directory. This is where the Dropzone user scripts and libraries live.
When testing your scripts, you can either create them somewhere else and then double click them so they get copied to the correct path or directly create them yourself in the ~/Library/Application Support/Dropzone/Destination Scripts/ directory.
Debugging ScriptsBefore you try using your destination script by running it with Dropzone, you should first try running it yourself from the command line to check its output is correct.
Dropzone scripts are not run directly but are called by another script (runner.rb in the lib directory) that loads your script and then calls either the dragged or clicked method. You can simulate this and test your script as if Dropzone were running it using the following steps:
Open Terminal and cd to the lib directory:
cd ~/"Library/Application Support/Dropzone/Destination Scripts/lib/"Then you can use the Dropzone runner to load and execute your script. The below example assumes you have installed the example script in the section above.
Important: You must be in the lib directory and your script must be in ~/Library/Application Support/Dropzone/Destination Scripts/ before you try and debug it.
./runner.rb "Test Destination.dropzone" dragged test_fileYou can either reference the destination script directly by name as in the above example, or by using a relative path as follows:
./runner.rb ../"Test Destination.dropzone" dragged test_fileYou will need to replace test_file with a real file path when debugging actual destinations.
When you run the above, it should output 'Determinate: 1' and then wait. When Dropzone calls a script, it sends a newline character to acknowledge that it has received and processed each incoming line of status output. You can simulate this by pressing return each time your script gives output. The full output you should receive from the example script is given below, this is the raw output that the Dropzone library generated. When debugging your own scripts you should make sure that your script is not producing any extra output (such as warnings or errors) and that the output closely resembles the example output below:
Determinate: 1 Begin_Message: Doing something with test_file... Progress: 20 Progress: 50 Progress: 100 Finish_Message: Finished Task URL: 0You can also simulate a user clicking on a grid destination with the following line:
./runner.rb "Test Destination.dropzone" clickedThis will produce the below output:
Finish_Message: You clicked me! URL: 0
Dropzone also provides a debugging console so that you can view the output it is receiving from your script. You can show this console by clicking 'Debugging console' in the main application menu. It can also be activated with the keyboard shortcut Command+Shift+D
The debugging console is pictured above, bolded text is information added by Dropzone and the non-bolded text is output from your script.
Managing ScriptsWhen you double click on a Dropzone destination script in the Finder, it is simply copied to ~/Library/Application Support/Dropzone/Destination Scripts and the below dialog is shown.
If there is already a destination script with the same filename in this folder, it is replaced. Copying scripts manually into this folder or creating them in a text editor has the same effect as installing by double clicking them. When you go to add a destination in the preferences, Dropzone looks to see which user scripts are in this folder, and parses the meta data as required.
You can edit scripts that are in your user scripts directory and the changes you make will take effect immediately - i.e. there is no need to double click your script or restart Dropzone.
You can also manage your destination scripts in the settings pane of the Dropzone preferences (pictured above). Clicking the 'Remove' button deletes the currently highlighted destination script from your user scripts directory and clicking 'Edit' opens the currently highlighted script in your default text editor.
OptionsNIBsSome destination scripts will require additional information from the user, such as login details, API keys and folder paths in order to function correctly. Dropzone provides a way to collect this information by loading an additional interface into the 'Add Destination' panel of Dropzone. An example of this is pictured in the Destination Meta Data section, in that instance the OptionsNIB is a simple interface for selecting an application. When Dropzone executes your script, shell environment variables are set with the information collected in the OptionsNIB.
The currently available OptionsNIBs and the names of the environment variables set by them are outlined below:
Environment Variable
# LoginTitle: Twitter Login DetailsIf you do not specify a LoginTitle then the label title will default to 'Login Details'
Environment Variable
Remote Path
Root URL
Environment Variable
Full path to the selected application
Environment Variable
Full path to the selected folder
Key Modifiers
If the user holds down a modifier key while dragging items onto your destination and you have specified in your scripts meta data that the modifier key is supported then the symbol for the held modifier is overlaid on your destination as shown above and the ENV["KEY_MODIFIERS"] environment variable is set with the currently held modifier for your script to access. You can specify that your script supports multiple key modifiers by specifying each supported modifier delimited by a comma, however, only one key modifier may be used at a time.
A working example that displays the currently held modifier when an item is dragged onto it is given below:
#!/usr/bin/ruby # Dropzone Destination Info # Name: Key Modifier Test # Description: Displays the currently held key modifier. # Handles: NSFilenamesPboardType # Events: Dragged # KeyModifiers: Command, Option, Control, Shift # Creator: Aptonic Software # URL: http://aptonic.com # IconURL: http://aptonic.com/destinations/icons/test.png def dragged $dz.finish((ENV["KEY_MODIFIERS"] == "" ? "None" : ENV["KEY_MODIFIERS"])) $dz.url(false) end
Errors & AlertsYou can instruct Dropzone to display an alert or error dialog from your script as shown below:
Display Alert
$dz.alert("Alert Title", "Some informative text...")
Display Error
$dz.error("Error Title", "An error occurred...")
$dz.error results in your script terminating immediately while $dz.alert allows you to display a message and then continue execution of your script.
Copying FilesAs copying files is a common thing to need to do in a Dropzone destination script - e.g. to resize some images and then copy them to a folder, a ruby library is provided by Dropzone that handles this for you. An advantage of using the Rsync library to copy files is that it also prompts the user to cancel or replace if a file they are copying already exists at the destination. This library is automatically loaded for you by the runner script.
You can call it as follows:
Rsync.do_copy(files, destination, remove_sent)Files is an array of file and/or folder paths to copy, destination is the path to the destination folder and remove_sent is a boolean value that indicates whether files and directories at the source should be deleted after copying. A working destination script that shows how to make use of this is given below:
#!/usr/bin/ruby # Dropzone Destination Info # Name: Copy Files # Description: Allows you to copy dropped files to a specified folder. # Handles: NSFilenamesPboardType # Creator: Aptonic Software # URL: http://aptonic.com # OptionsNIB: ChooseFolder def dragged $dz.determinate(true) $dz.begin("Copying files...") Rsync.do_copy($items, ENV['EXTRA_PATH'], false) $dz.finish("Copy Complete") $dz.url(false) endThe Dropzone Rsync library makes calls to $dz.percent for you so progress information is output to Dropzone during the copy. Therefore, you should always call $dz.determinate(true) as demonstrated above before you call the Rsync.do_copy method.
Using CocoaDialogCocoaDialog is an OS X application that allows the use of common GUI controls such as file selectors, text input, progress bars, yes/no confirmations and more with a command-line application. You can learn more about how to use CocoaDialog here. CocoaDialog has many possible applications in a Dropzone destination script, for example, the 'Create new file with text' destination that ships with Dropzone uses CocoaDialog to popup a dialog box to get the desired filename.
CocoaDialog is bundled with Dropzone and can be run from your destination script as follows:
output = `./CocoaDialog standard-inputbox --title "New Text File" --e --informative-text "Enter name for new text file (minus extension):"` filename = output.split("\n")[1]The above example would produce the following dialog and store the result in filename.
ContributingDropzone destination scripts are managed via the github repositories.
If you wish to contribute a user destination script you should fork the dropzone-user-scripts repository, add your script and then send a pull request. The same applies to the Dropzone bundled scripts.
