By Fiachra Ó Cionnaith, Political Reporter
Fianna Fáil leader Micheal Martin has hit out at a party councillor who claimed lesbian couples who have babies are "gross", saying the views are "unacceptable, completely" and do not represent the party.
Responding to comments made by Roscommon-based councillor Paddy Kilduff this afternoon, Mr Martin said he has already spoken to his colleague about his views "quite some time ago" and that he does not want them to be repeated.
In a newspaper report this morning it emerged that during a marriage equality referendum debate last February Mr Kilduff said lesbian couples who have babies are "gross" and that "personally I won't be voting for it".
The long-standing councillor said that while he has "no problem with gays and lesbians, the problem I have is with the children".
Speaking before the marriage equality referendum was passed in a landslide public vote, he said in such a family, children "won't know who's who and when you have two women having babies and artificially inseminated... it's gross, it's gross.
"So I won't be supporting it in anyway, so you can take that back to Dublin."
Mr Kilduff had prefaced the comments by saying he believed Fianna Fáil had co-operated too much with Fine Gael and Labour on similar issues such as the 2013 abortion-related protection of life bill, which he opposed.
However, despite the latest furore within Fianna Fáil over marriage equality, party leader and Cork South Central TD Micheal Martin this afternoon insisted Mr Kilduff's remarks are "unacceptable, completely" and do not represent the political group.
"They're unacceptable, completely, and they're very much against Fianna Fáil party policy," Mr Martin told Newstalk's Lunchtime programme.
"We obviously have individuals in the party who had and have reservations about marriage equality, but the overwhelming majority of the population are very supportive of it.
"In the very first Ard Fheis of my leadership, the Ard Fheis passed a resolution in support of marriage equality...I was one of the very first leaders out after the 2011 general election to call for a referendum and I was very strong, with many party members in support of marriage equality.
"I think Paddy Kilduff has his views, they're well known, but I think these were made some time ago and I made it very clear to him quite some time ago what party policy was," he said.
A Fianna Fáil spokesperson said the councillor was speaking in a "personal capacity".
The Roscommon-South Leitrim constituency, where Mr Kilduff is based, was the only area of Ireland not to pass the marriage equality referendum, voting by a slim margin of 51.42% to 48.58% against the Government proposal.

If you have hidden your tools , you can open them from here:
Top toolbar View > Wiring Tools…
Note: All of the commands in Wiring Tools are electronics related. Don't use a wire when you just need to draw a line, shape or an arrow: use Drawing Tools instead.
There are three ways to enter the wire mode in EasyEDA.
- Click the Wire button from the Wiring Tools palette.
- Press the
- Click on the end of a component pin (where the grey pin dot appears if you select the component):
EasyEDA automatically enters Wire mode.
Here is a screenshot of the Astable Multivibrator LED project schematic after wiring:
Moving Components And Wires:
If you place a component, such as a resistor, on top of a wire then the wire breaks and reconnects to the ends of the component.
When moving selected components using the mouse, they will drag attached wires with them ("rubber band") to some extent but please be aware that the rubber banding feature has some limitations. When moving selected components most wire will move vertically and horizontally. Using the arrow keys will not rubber band. Selected wires do not rubber band.
A selected wire can be moved directly by clicking on it using the mouse or by the arrow keys. If a wire is selected by clicking on it using the mouse then green grab handles will appear at the ends and vertices.
Auto adjust connection
If you put a resistor or capacitor on a wire, the wire will auto connect the pins as below:
When you want to wiring a series of resistors which are in a row, you can just wire through them, and then you will find they all be connected.
When you design a professional schematic, perhaps it will use a lot of wires. If you wiring one by one, much time would be wasted, and then you need to use
Bus Entry
If you decide to wire with
Bus , the
Bus Entry must connect to Bus and other nets with wires. such as in the above image.
The "Bus" and "Bus Entry" just for the indication, because when you place Bus and Bus Entry, you have to place the netlabel on the Bus Entry dot point.
Net Label
NetLabel can be used to give your wires names to help you find them and identify any misconnections. You can find the NetLabel from the Wiring Tools palette or by using the
N hotkey. When selecting the netlabel, you will find its attributes in the right hand Properties panel:
You can change its name and colour. If you only want to change its name, it may be easier to just double click the netlabel.
Multi-NetLabels in One Wire
EasyEDA support mutil-netlabel in one wire now.
When you convert the schematic to the PCB, the editor will choose the first netlabel you placed as the net name for this wire, as below NETLABEL1.
As above image, when you click anyone netlabel's name in the design manager, the wire will be highlighted.
- If wire 1 has 3 netlabels A B and C, and wire 2 has netlabel A, then wire 1 and wire 2 are the same net.
- Netlabel/Netflag/Netport/volprobe only support English characters and letters, and Arabic numerals.
- If a part prefix is P1, which has two pins, it will have two nets "P1_1" and "P1_2" by default, if you place a netlabel named P1_1 at other wire which is not connect with P1 pin1, the default "P1_1" will change to "P1_1(1)" for avoid the wrong connection with netlabel "P1_1".
Net Flag
NetFlag is the same as NetLabel, you can find the NetFlag from the Wiring Tools palette or using the
Ctrl+G hotkeys for GND or
Ctrl+Q for VCC. You can also change its name, for example from VCC to VDD:
The screenshot below is after adding NetLabels
- indicated by the little egg marks
-and a GND NetFlag
This schematic is almost finished.
Wiring Tools palette provides NetFlag: Digital GND, Analog GND, VCC and +5V for your convenience.
Net Port
At EasyEDA, Net Port works like Net Label, it doesn't differentiate the input and output net port. When you don't want to route too many wires, how about trying
Net Port :
It will make your schematic look more clean, and you just need to set each Net Port a net name.
No Connect Flag
You can find the
NO Connect Flag via wiring tool,
In the below schematic, if you don't add a
NO Connect Flag, there is an error flag in the nets collection of the design manager.
After adding a
NO Connect Flag, the error disappears.
NO Connect Flag only works on the symbol's pin directly.
Voltage Probe
EasyEDA provides a simulation feature for the schematic. After the simulation is running, you will see the waveform where you placed the voltage probes in the circuit.
For more detail about the simulation, please check the Simulation section.
When you create a new symbol in schematic and schematic lib, you must use
Pin to create pins for the new symbol, otherwise your symbol can't be wired with wires.
For more information please refer to the Schematic Lib: Pin section.
On the Wiring Tools palette there is the Group/Ungroup Symbol… button.
Just like the Symbol Wizard, this tool is also for you to quickly create schematic library symbols.
Using the Symbol Wizard you can only create generic symbols but how can you quickly and easily create symbols like these?
Here's how.
EasyEDA allows you to do something that very few other EAD tools support.
Using the
P Hotkey, you are allowed to add a PIN directly onto the Schematic canvas. So you can add 8 Pins, draw a rectangle from the Drawing Tools palette and add 555 as text to form a symbol for the NE555 like the one shown below:
Now comes the clever bit.
Up to this point you have a collection of separate pins, a drawn rectangle and some text that are all separate items with no particular association with each other.
So now select all of the items and click the Group/Ungroup Symbol… button. A dialog will be opened:
After you click OK, all those separate elements will be grouped together to form your new symbol directly in the schematic.
Using the group function, you can create any symbol in the schematic, easily and quickly.
How cool is that?
So what does Ungroup do? Try selecting a symbol and then click the Group/ungroup command to see what happens!
- The pin numbers and names cannot be moved independently of the pin.
- The symbol you created in the schematic will not be save in the personal libraries, if you want to use it repeatly, please create a schematicLib.
If it's still difficult to understand, don't worry, you can see the process in the dynamic image below:

Shares in troubled Dutch banking and insurance group SNS Reaal plummeted further on Thursday amid heightened speculation that the government will nationalise the bank which has a heavily indebted property subsidiary.
Shares in the bank fell 9.9 percent to close at 0.69 euros ($0.92), after having plunged 11.7 percent on Wednesday.
SNS shares were worth about 15 euros in 2008, before the financial crisis.
The sharp drop is the result of market jitters resulting from speculation that authorities may intervene to bail out the bank, the fourth-biggest in the Netherlands, which according to Dutch financial daily Financieele Dagblad (FD) may have to post up to 1.8 billion-euros in writedowns on festering property finance loans.
Some Dutch MPs have called for state intervention and a writedown of ordinary bonds, the first time ordinary bond holders would be drawn into a bank rescue, the paper said.
Earlier this month, the European Commission blocked a plan by three other Dutch banking giants, ABN Amro, ING and Rabobank to help SNS with a capital investment, on competition grounds saying that ABN and ING themselves previously received state aid, Dutch media reported.
SNS Reaal is considered a systemically important bank, meaning it is too important to allow it to go bankrupt.
A writedown of bonds however would affect the ratings of Western banks, the FD daily quoted ratings agency Fitch as saying on Thursday.
"If an important country in Europe writes down the ordinary bonds of a problematic bank, that means a complete change in how we look at banks," Bridget Gandy, head of European bank credit ratings at Fitch said.
An ordinary or corporate bond is distinct from a sovereign bond, as it is issued by a company rather than a state.
The financial crisis has seen sovereign debt writedowns in countries such as Greece, but not writedowns of ordinary bonds issued by banks which have as a result been regarded as relatively safe.
In effect it meant that ordinary bond holders for the first time will be drawn into a state-initiated bank rescue, causing bonds issued by banks to be seen as higher risk and in turn spook investors.
Bonds are seen as safer investments than shares, Dutch public broadcaster NOS said, adding that even during the banking crisis rescue the European Central Bank insisted on ordinary bond holders' protection "out of fear that investors would panic."
"Until now ordinary bond holders have been kept out of the vortex of bank rescues," it added.

Rwanda 2017/2018
The clampdown on political opponents continued before and after presidential elections, with cases of severe restrictions on freedoms of expression and association, as well as unlawful killings and unresolved disappearance cases.
Presidential elections were held in August. President Kagame was re-elected with 98.79% of the vote. The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda won 0.48% of the vote and the independent candidate 0.73%.
The National Electoral Commission (NEC) decided that three aspiring independent candidates did not fulfil the eligibility requirements. One of them, Diane Rwigara, was accused of submitting forged signatures. On 14 July, she launched a new activist group, the People Salvation Movement.
Several diplomatic missions and civil society observers found that the electoral process had been peaceful; however, they raised concerns about irregularities including in the counting of ballots and vote tabulation.
Freedoms of association and assembly
Opposition political parties and independent candidates faced challenges in the lead-up to and following the August elections.
Shortly after Diane Rwigara announced her candidacy in May, nude photos allegedly of her appeared on social media. She complained to the police and the NEC that her representatives were intimidated as they travelled the country collecting the signatures needed to stand as an independent candidate.
Police interrogated Diane Rwigara and her relatives at their home in Kigali, the capital, on 29 August and prevented them from leaving their house. On 30 August, the police confirmed that an investigation was under way and that the family was not in detention. For several weeks the family was questioned by police and their movement restricted; they were unable to communicate freely. On 23 September, the police arrested Diane Rwigara, her mother Adeline and sister Anne. On 3 October, the Public Prosecutor confirmed that they were being charged with "inciting insurrection or trouble among the population", that Diane Rwigara would be charged with using counterfeit documents and her mother charged with discrimination and sectarian practices. Anne Rwigara was granted bail on 23 October; Diane and Adeline Rwigara were remanded in custody and remained in detention awaiting trial at the end of the year.
On 26 September, eight leaders and members of the unregistered United Democratic Forces-Inkingi (FDU-Inkingi) party were charged with forming an irregular armed group and with offences against the President. Théophile Ntirutwa, the party's Kigali representative, was detained on 6 September and held incommunicado until 23 September. He was later charged with supporting an armed group.
Those arrested in September included FDU-Inkingi's assistant treasurer Léonille Gasengayire. She had been arrested in March 2016 and remained in police detention for several days; she was rearrested in August 2016 and prosecuted on charges of "inciting insurrection or trouble among the population". On 23 March 2017, she was acquitted and released.
Freedom of expression
In April, the NEC issued election regulations requiring presidential candidates to submit campaign materials to be published on social media networks for approval 48 hours in advance, leading to considerable debate in May. The Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority announced on 31 May that the NEC "has no mandate to regulate or interrupt the use of social media by citizens". The next day, the NEC announced that it would adjust the regulations based on public feedback. This requirement was not implemented.
Enforced disappearances
Possible enforced disappearances were reported. Several cases of disappearances remained unresolved, and may potentially have amounted to enforced disappearances. There was no news on the fate or whereabouts of FDU-Inkingi member Illuminée Iragena, who went missing in March 2016 in Kigali.
Violette Uwamahoro, a British national and wife of a member of the outlawed Rwanda National Congress (RNC) opposition group, went missing as she arrived by bus in Kigali on 14 February. She had travelled from the UK to attend her father's funeral in Rwanda. The authorities initially denied knowledge of her whereabouts. However, she was held in incommunicado detention until 3 March when the police announced that she was in their custody. She and her cousin, Jean Pierre Shumbusho, a police officer, were charged with revelation of state secrets, formation of an irregular armed group and offences against the established government or President. She denied all charges; she was provisionally released on 27 March, after a judge ruled that there was insufficient evidence against her. She was allowed to return to the UK on 12 April.
Crimes under international law
Léopold Munyakazi, a university professor deported from the USA to Rwanda in 2016, was found guilty of genocide charges in July. The Intermediate Court of Muhanga sentenced him to life imprisonment in solitary confinement − a detention practice condemned by the UN Human Rights Committee as a violation of the prohibition of torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.
Jean Twagiramungu, a former teacher, was extradited to Rwanda from Germany in August to stand trial. He was accused of planning and committing genocide in Gikongoro Prefecture (now in Southern Province).
The genocide trial of Ladislas Ntaganzwa, whose case was transferred from the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), continued at the Rwandan High Court's Chamber of International Crimes. In December, the Chamber found Emmanuel Mbarushimana, extradited from Denmark in 2014, guilty on genocide charges and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
Bernard Munyagishari, whose case was transferred from the ICTR to Rwanda in 2013, was convicted in April and sentenced to life imprisonment for genocide and crimes against humanity.
Henri Jean-Claude Seyoboka, who was deported from Canada in 2016 accused of involvement in the genocide, was denied bail by the Military High Court in February.
Enoch Ruhigira, who was arrested in Germany in 2016 on genocide charges, was released in March. The German General Prosecutor's Office cancelled the arrest warrant after a submission from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stating that the Rwandan prosecution of Enoch Ruhigira was likely to be politically influenced.
Women's rights
Rwanda was reviewed by the CEDAW Committee in February. The Committee welcomed anti-discrimination legislation; however, it was concerned that certain discriminatory legal provisions remained. For example, while rape convictions ordinarily carry a prison sentence of at least five years, the punishment for marital rape is only two to six months' imprisonment and a fine. The Committee also expressed concern that maternal mortality was exacerbated by unsafe abortions. Abortion was allowed only in exceptional cases, requiring a court order in cases of rape, incest or forced marriage and the authorization of two doctors, if the health of the pregnant woman or the fetus is in danger. Proposed amendments to the Penal Code would end the requirement for a court order.
Refugees and asylum-seekers
Rwanda continued to receive and host refugees from Burundi, with numbers reaching 89,146 at the end of the year.
International scrutiny
The UN Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture suspended its visit to Rwanda in October citing obstructions by the authorities, including limitations on access to places of detention and confidentiality of some interviews. The head of delegation reported that many of those interviewed expressed fear of reprisals. The Subcommittee suspended visits to only three countries in the past 10 years.

Speaking on the occasion, the Union Minister said, "The launch of the bus with LNG as fuel heralds the start of eco-friendly long-haul commercial vehicles in the country. This is the beginning of a new era of gas-based transportation in Kerala".
He also complimented the Petronet LNG Ltd. (PLL), Indian Oil and Tata Motors for working together as a team to lay the foundation for the trial run of the LNG bus in India.
The LNG fuelled bus was brought to PLL Kochi LNG Terminal for LNG filling. The LNG fuel tank was provided by US based Chart Industries. As it is a pilot project, the LNG fuelled bus would run on trial basis before it can be certified for commercial application.
Kerala has a very important role to play in development of Hydrocarbon sector. Besides the refinery expansion project at Kochi, two other projects LPG import terminal at Kochi and a POL terminal at Payyannur are also being implemented. These projects would give a boost to Petroleum sector in the state economy. There are nine terminals / depots, seven LPG bottling plants, and eight Aviation fuel stations located in the State to meet the demand of Petroleum product of different segments of consumers.
Indian Oil has planned to set up five CNG stations at Ernakulum by March 2017 and would provide Piped Natural Gas (PNG) to 4,000 households. The PNG connections would increase to 41,000 by 2020. The company has finalized an arrangement with KSRTC for setting up an integrated fuel complex at various KSRTC Depots in the State having provision to dispense different fuels including LNG and LCNG to vehicles.
Later, in the meeting with Kerala CM, the Union Minister sought assistance from the State for the development of petroleum sector in the state. He asked to provide necessary assistance to GAIL which would expedite the laying of Kochi – Koottanad – Bangalore / Mangaluru Pipeline. He also requested the Government of Kerala to withdraw the recently introduced VAT on LNG.

The goal for this week is besides using a different Prime Lens is to shoot th same sceneries to allow comparisons between the lenses. This set of photos are using the same scene as I did for Day 2 (2027-01-02). One can easily see the wider Field of View (FoV) the 35mm lens provides. However, after two days of using the 35mm (FF) lens I still don't have the answer which of the two lenses is closer to the humans perceive perspective (central vision). Hopefully after this week I will have that answer,
To help with the comparison with the photos of Day 2 here are the cross-links:
|Day 2
|Day 9
|# 1
|# 1
|# 2
|# 3
|# 3
|# 4
Photo #4 is a extra instead of the cropped #2 from Day 2. BTW, you can see how much rain we got over the last 36 hours.
All photos were taken with my Sony SLT α77 and Minolta AF 24mm F/2.8 lens, using Aperture mode, with a setting of f/16, White Balance set to cloudy, ISO to 400 and 3-shot bracketing with +/- 0.5 EV. No EV and post-process adjustments were made to the photos.

"Eat a Peach," The Allman Brothers Band hit album from 1972, was a piece of vinyl that I wore out. If you have a soft spot in your heart for that album and this southern rock band, then I'd bet that you are also a baby boomer. If my guess is right and you are a baby boomer, then that puts you in the highest risk group for being a carrier of the hepatitis C virus (HCV).
Gregg Allman, the co-founder of The Allman Brothers Band, just celebrated his one year anniversary of a successful liver transplant. He was diagnosed in 2007 with hepatitis C, which caused extensive liver damage and led to his need of a liver transplant. This experience gave Allman special motivation to hold a benefit concert, with the sponsorship of Merck and the American Liver foundation, to raise awareness of HCV, the chronic virus he contracted that destroyed his liver. This benefit concert will be held on July 27, 2011, the eve of World Hepatitis Day, at the famous Beacon Theatre in New York City to promote awareness of this growing public health issue.
Allman's message is my message:
- If you are of baby boomer age, get tested for HCV. There are an estimated 1.6 million U.S. adults age 40-64 infected with HCV who have no idea that they have this disease.
- If you have the HCV, then get treated. There is a new therapy just approved by the FDA that offers the hope of a cure. Even if you aren't cured, the treatment will ward off more serious liver disease and premature death.
- Doing nothing is not an option.
One of the famous songs on the "Eat a Peach" album was titled "One Way Out." It's fitting that Allman is now living that song. There is only one way out of this dreaded disease that 4 million Americans now carry and most don't realize they have contracted.
Here's to the "Ramblin' Man" that he gets the message out for all baby boomers to get tested (and treated) for HCV.

Built on a bluff overlooking Watson's Creek in Hamilton, the Isaac Watson House was built in 1708 and is now within John A. Roebling Park, a 257-acre nature preserve. It is recognized to be the oldest house in Mercer County and was first restored by NJDAR in 1964 as part of the New Jersey Tercentenary Celebration.
Isaac Watson was the son of Quakers who came to this country from England in 1684. The furniture now displayed in this fine stone house antedates 1790, and several pieces were made by New Jersey craftsmen. In addition, many articles in the home were donated by New Jersey DAR members.
Watson House is open to the public for docent-guided tours each spring and fall from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM on the second Sunday of April, May, June, September, October and November. Those planning to tour Watson House should wear sneakers or flat rubber-soled shoes — high heels are not permitted.

UConn bans romantic student-faculty relationships
HARTFORD, Conn. - The University of Connecticut, responding to questions about whether relationships are permitted between students and professors, answered on Wednesday with a new policy that forbids faculty and staff from becoming romantically involved with undergraduates.
The Board of Trustees also barred a faculty or staff member from being involved with graduate students under that individual's authority. Officials said romantic relationships between supervisors and subordinate employees often distort judgment and undermine workplace morale.
"We felt it was a step to go further, to establish bright lines, to prohibit relationships where power relationships exist," said Elizabeth Conklin, associate vice president for diversity and equity.
University officials get occasional calls from students about a faculty or staff member who have shown a romantic interest in students and are "asking what the rules are," she said.
"It's an abuse of authority and that's where we're interested in assuring where the rules are," Conklin said. "It's a feeling of favoritism and bias and unfairness."
Students who are in relationships with faculty members or graduate students before enrolling at UConn must disclose their relationships to the university. If relationships in violation of the policy continue, the university could take authority away from the faculty or staff member involved.
The rules, which update UConn's policy on discrimination and harassment, call for a range of penalties or remedial actions, depending on the circumstances. A faculty member could face discipline ranging from a verbal warning to dismissal. A firing could result if a faculty member persistently makes advances, calls a student frequently or touches a student, Conklin said.
"That's different from a faculty member who made a vague comment on having dinner with a student," she said. "The intent of the policy is to prevent relationships happening in the first case."
The executive committee of the UCONN chapter of the American Association of University Professors said in a statement Wednesday that it supports the new policy.
Conklin said UConn officials consulted consensual relationship policies at dozens of universities as it drafted the rules. The university found a range of rules, from "silence to full prohibition and lots in between," she said.
Central Connecticut State University, for example, forbids any consensual romantic or sexual relationships and dating between employees and students over whom the employee has direct or "otherwise significant" authority. The policy covers relationships between teachers and students, adviser and someone who is advised and coaches and athletes.
Oregon State University forbids any employee from having academic responsibility, which includes instruction and evaluations, for any student with whom the employee has a consensual relationship. Employees are forbidden from conducting performance evaluations, making decisions on salary, promotion and tenure for a person with whom he or she has a consensual relationship.
Coming up with a policy regulating relationships was not easy. UConn's extensive use of the word "romantic" with a capital R in its new policy is a "term of art" intended to define a difficult and intensely personal situation.
"It's not romantic in terms of flowers and champagne," she said. "It's encounters."
She said "amorous" is probably the best word because it "captures everything."
"But nobody knows what it means," Conklin said.

Don't unban Nubrac.
Because this a very controversial topic right now i want to explain the other side of the view on Nubrac. In my eyes maybe a 2 week ban was a bit harsh but a week ban definitly would've been okay. You guys defend him because night blue talked trash to him and he was manualy baned because a player asked his Riot friend which is perfectly understandable and fine which also shouldn't happen. There shouldn't be Rioters baning people manualy because a famous streamer asked them to do or are friends with them. But now lets look at how Nubrac impacts the game when he is actually playing. It's not forbidden to play off meta strats but only if they actually make sense and don't troll your team in the process. Nubracs strat is a really hard double edged blade that either can do something or goes completly wrong and results in a ff 15 especially in that Elo. Also he has a way other impact on his team than he thinks. He is playing this strategy because it makes fun for him and HE thinks that it's helping his teammates but lets look at how his team feels about having support teemo mid/top. League Recap made a really good video on that pointing out the views of other pro players on Nubrac and no one in Master/Challenger really seems to like him. Just because Nubrac thinks that it's helping his teammates it doesn't mean it actually does. Imagine playing something hard late game like Kayle on toplane. Your goal is to reach lvl 11 as fast as possible to actually become a real champion. Now you have teemo support on your lane who soaks your exp. I definitly wouldnt want that first off i don't reach my powerspike in time and second it would tilt the shit out of me because Nubrac isn't even communicating his strategy to his teammates. He is not asking the people if they want that he just does without looking at how his team feels about his strategy or if they even want that. He can hold back whole midlaners or toplaners who could've solo carried on their own by denying them exp and lets be real no matter how hard you support him you wouldnt want top/mid teemo support in your promo games and would've report him too. And right now Nubrac doesn't seem to understand how his strategy impacts his teammates ingame and on a personal way and sometimes people have to learn the hardway that their strategy isn't as potent as they think it is on their own. So yeah i think on a gameplay perspective Nubracs ban is really justified.

Essence of the South - India Tour Itinerary
Essence of the South - 13 nights/14 days
If you were to look for a definition of South India, it would be found in the smells, sights and sounds; in its distinctive cuisine, people and temples – women in bright silk sarees, their hair threaded with white and orange flowers; the men in white dhoti-kurtas, foreheads smeared with vibhuti. The restaurants smell of curry leaves and coconut, temples of white mongra flowers and sandalwood incense; the rhythmic chanting of prayers reverberates in the atmosphere.

Microsoft patches serious Excel zero-day, Windows flaws
Microsoft is patching flaws in Excel and WordPad that are reportedly being actively exploited in the wild and could allow an attacker to gain access to sensitive data.
To get security news and tips delivered to your inbox, click here to sign up for our free newsletter.
Microsoft issued an update to Excel, blocking two serious remote code execution vulnerabilities, including a zero-day flaw being actively exploited by attackers.
Since February, a Trojan called Trojan.Mdropper.AC, has been used in targeted attacks, according to several research firms, including Symantec, which first discovered the attacks in Japan. It spreads through a malicious Excel file attachment that makes Excel access an invalid object causing a memory corruption error. From there, an attacker executes arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application or can crash Excel. The MS09-009 update is rated critical for users of Microsoft Office Excel 2000. Microsoft rates it as important for other supported editions of Excel.
The update was one of eight security bulletins Microsoft issued Tuesday as part of is regularly scheduled monthly patching schedule. The software giant warned that five of the eight bulletins could be exploited remotely and were rated critical.
Microsoft updates:
Feb. - Microsoft fixes critical IE 7, Exchange flaws: Memory corruption errors in IE 7 and a message processing error in Exchange leave systems vulnerable to attack, Microsoft said.
Jan. - Microsoft updates critical SMB server flaws: The latest Microsoft security update addresses two critical remote code execution vulnerabilities and a denial-of-service flaw in the Server Message Block.
A zero-day vulnerability in WordPad was also addressed in MS09-010. The flaw in the Wordpad Converter for Word 97 files affects Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 and SP2.
Internet Explorer was also updated, repairing six vulnerabilities that could be exploited to gain user rights on a system. MS09-014 corrects a blended threat remote code execution vulnerability, a credential flaw and several memory corruption errors. The flaws can be exploited by tricking a user to view a malicious webpage. The update is rated critical for versions of IE 5.01-7. IE 8 is not affected by the update.
Patching experts said Tuesday that Microsoft tied together several patches in its bulletins this month, including flaws addressed in IE, which corrects the Apple Safari carpet bombing attack Discovered last year by researcher Nitesh Dhanjani, the attack makes it possible for a malicious website to litter a Windows user's desktop with malicious executable files.
"Microsoft's fix removed the desktop as part of the search path for loading system files," said Eric Schultze, chief technology officer of patch management vendor Shavlik Technologies Inc.
A DirectX vulnerability in Microsoft DirectShow multimedia framework was also corrected Tuesday. The MS09-011 update is rated critical. The flaw can be exploited by tricking a user to open a MJPEG file. The update affects DirectX 8.1 and 9 on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
MS09-013repairs three flaws in Microsoft Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP). The service contains a remote code execution vulnerability when handling specific credential values that are returned by a remote Web server. A spoofing vulnerability could also be exploited as a result of incomplete validation. The update is rated critical for Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
Microsoft also repaired a year-old token kidnapping vulnerability. MS09-012, rated important, was being exploited in the wild after security researcher Cesar Cerrudo released proof-of-concept code to exploit the vulnerability. Cerrudo, founder and CEO of Argeniss Information Security warned Microsoft last year about the flaw. The flaw allows accounts commonly used by Windows to bypass new Windows services protection mechanisms and elevate privileges to achieve complete control over the operating system. Microsoft followed up with an advisory offering customers workaround recommendations.
"There's been so much talk around Web application vulnerabilities and SQL Server vulnerabilities that I'm surprised it hasn't been taken advantage of," said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at security and compliance auditing vendor nCircle Network Security Inc."It's an exploit where you could elevate the privilege of code being written in IIS and once elevated you can run an application on the server side as well."
Microsoft said most customers will have the security update automatically downloaded and installed.
Two vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server and Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) were also repaired. The update was rated important, but could allow a denial-of-service condition if an attacker sends specially crafted network packages to an affected system. The software giant also fixed a flaw rated moderate in the Windows SearchPath function.

One hit is all it takes for an established musician to become an international star. For Bob Marley, it was "Judge Not." For Shaggy, it was "Oh, Carolina." For Trinidadian ragga soca artist Bunji "The Fireman" Garlin, that song is "Differentology."
"The purpose was to transcend beyond the season of the carnival [in Trinidad and Tobago] so that it can relate to anyone from anywhere," the singer explains. "It was made to stand out among everything else."
And Garlin's hit single does just that. Even those not familiar with the Trini, if they've tuned in to any local pop radio station, watched the tenth episode of season ten of Grey's Anatomy, or even jammed to Major Lazer, they've heard Bunji's big song.

Now thanks to the track's success, Garlin and his crew will be dropping "Differentology" and shouting "Are you ready?" at Miami's Bayfront Park as part of the annual Best of the Best megaconcert during Memorial Day weekend.
"Just the excitement of performing with all these people," the Fireman marvels. "A lot of these artists, we've been fortunate to come across them many times and work on the same stage as them. It's a nice, family-type environment. It's all these bands from all these different islands."
With steady reggae, dancehall, and soca vibes emanating from Best of the Best's main stage, the good times will definitely keep rolling. But for Garlin, this fest is about more than just having fun.
"Being a Trinidadian artist, many of these opportunities, we don't often get selected for them," he admits. "We always fight for it. This gives us a chance for people to look at our music in a different way too."

Born Ian Antonio Alvarez, the aspiring soca star changed his name to Bunji Garlin in the mid 1990s as a way to make a statement and pave the way for his music.
"It's a two part name," he begins. "Bunji comes from the bungee rope, because the more you pull the rope downward, the higher it goes when you release it. I try to apply that to my life -- the more you push me down, the higher I go. And Garlin, I got it from the military weapon, a Gatling, but we call it a Garlin in Trinidad. It's small, but causes a lot of damage."

Coming from such a small island in the Caribbean and now creating soca shock waves across the globe, Bunji Garlin has been fitting, even somewhat prophetic, much like the vision that he once had of his career as a boy.
"I used to always see this image when I was real young, something like a wave of fire," Garlin describes. "And years later as a professional musician, I was in the studio and saw that same vision again. That's when it hit me -- I'm supposed to be here."
Making it mainstream, however, has proven to be more than a matter of fate. He's taken risks. And he's faced challenges. But Bunji insists he never considered compromising his core artistic identity.
"When an artist sells out, when an artist crosses over, they leave a lot of what they know, and when you do that, you leave your whole fanbase behind," he says. "These artists leave what they know and don't fully understand what they're getting into."
So yes, it may have taken 15 years. (He released his debut in 1999.) But finally, Garlin's refusal to sell out has paid off.
"This song ['Differentology'] is one of the first instances of Trinidad and Tobago crossing to mainstream.

Learn about our editorial policy Lisa Linnell-Olsen Updated on August 09, 2019 Caiaiamage/Tom Merton/ Getty Images More in School Learning Getting Involved Readiness At Home and Afterschool Learning Disabilities Special Education Life is very difficult for teens and older children who are behind their peers in reading skills, or who can't read at all. Fortunately, even older teens who lack basic reading skills can become successful readers. All it takes is a combination of support from a caring adult like you, your child's school, and the right learning program. Meet With Your Teen's or Older Child's Teachers Collaborating with your child's teachers is a great place to start. Explain exactly what concerns you have about your child's reading ability to the teachers. Be prepared to provide specific examples of times when your child wasn't able to read or struggled with reading. Explain how this affects your child's ability to complete homework and other tasks. Providing examples, often stories about your teen's reading efforts will help your child's teachers to understand exactly how reading struggles may be influencing your child's school work. You can also find out from the teachers what they have noticed about your teen's reading. Teacher observations may provide more insight that will help you work together to help your child improve their reading and school performance. This meeting would also be a good time to talk to teachers about ways that they can adjust assignments or provide work strategies to help your child complete work and gain missing skills. Teachers may be able to modify assignments, called "differentiating" in educator lingo, to help your teen continue learning grade-level material while improving reading skills. Find Which Reading Skills Your Child Needs Reading isn't just one skill, it is an activity made up of several different skills. Does your child have the skill of knowing what letters make which sounds (phonemic awareness)? Does your child have dyslexia, causing them to reverse letters and words? is your child able to sound out words, yet has no understanding of what was read? Do they read yet frequently miss words, with their eyes skipping all over the page? Each of these is symptomatic of a missing reading skill piece. Consider Getting Your Child an Eye Exam Vision problems can make learning to read challenging. If you have an older child who has had regular school attendance and still is not reading, get a full eye exam to check for problems. A simple vision, such as a basic screening that is done at school, does not look for other eye or perceptive conditions. A thorough eye exam will check for these other conditions, and provide information to let you know if there is a specific condition interfering with learning to read. If your teen is found to be experiencing an eye or perceptive issue, keep in mind that this diagnoses will bring you closer to finding a solution to help your teen with reading. Consider Testing for Special Education Sometimes it can be difficult to motivate teens to do their work, and other times there are underlying causes that children or teens simply cannot control. It is a difference of can't do something versus won't do something. If you are suspicious that your teen can't overcome their reading difficulties on their own, it may be time to consider testing for disability. A parent can request that their public school evaluate a child for special education. During the evaluation, you will want to supply as much information as possible about your child's history that relates to your concerns about their struggle with reading. This could be medical information, other school evaluations, report cards, work samples, and other community agency reports. Children who are found to have a disability that meets one of thirteen categories may qualify for special education Services. Special education services for school-age children with disabilities that attend public schools or are homeschooled are mandated by federal law. These programs are designed to provide a free and appropriate education for students who have behavioral, physical, mental or cognitive needs that prevent a child from gaining any benefit from a regular public education classroom. If your child attends a private school you will still need to contact the public school where your child's private school is located in order for your teen to be evaluated for special education services. Consider Consulting a Language Specialist If your child or teen's reading skills are more than two grade levels below their actual grade level and your child either does not qualify for special education or your child is still able to spend more time working on their reading outside of the school day, a language specialist may be able to provide suggestions and tutoring that will speed up your teen's learning to read process Unfortunately, most insurance does not cover the services of language specialists. If your insurance does not cover language services, check for service organizations in your community that provide access to these services. Scottish Rite centers are an example of one organization that provides speech and language services. Provide Support Outside of School Once you know exactly which skills your child needs to build in order to become a successful reader, you can look for ways to support reading outside of school. This might be you teaching your teen with an additional reading program you found with the help of educational professionals. It may be by finding an adult mentor who can work on reading with your child. Be sure to look for age and level appropriate reading material that your teen finds interesting. Check with your local librarian for suggestions. You can also check with your local community reading council agency. In many communities, these agencies advertise their services to adults. These agencies can suggest community resources for your teen or older child. Final Thoughts There are many possible causes and situations that may interfere with learning to read. There are teens who finally get individualized help and instruction to become confident readers. If you care for a teen who is still struggling with reading, your patience and support can help make the difference in finally mastering this complex and rewarding skill. Was this page helpful?

News - Announcing AVC 2014! about 6 years ago
All fun and bantor, but seriously; I'm not getting any response as to which class to enter my VTOL in. So, I'm going to enter it in the Multicopter class and lay waste to all the other contestants, and that is totally fine since my design is technically a multicopter. (A multicopter that can fly at 35 m/s.)
News - Announcing AVC 2014! about 6 years ago
"... We are also going to create separate classes for fixed wing and quadcopters."
What! I for one protest! How can we allow such discrimination against those designs that are both multicopter and fixed-wing?
Fight VTOL discrimination! :)

The Sheriffs of Savage Wells by Sarah M. Eden
Shadow Mountain: September 27, 2016
Genre: Historical Western Romance
Source: Free from publisher
I'd go there again!
I haven't read a historical Western romance since I was in high school, and I thoroughly enjoyed this re-introduction to the genre. The relationship between the hero and heroine is fantastic. Slow and sweet, with witty banter to fill in the corners. Both characters are fully developed and realistic, with layers of problems they're dealing with (who ever has only one problem going on in their lives at once?). The town is full of delightful characters, and the plot, whether it's focused on the romance or the lawbreaking, never falters.
Cade has just arrived in Savage Wells to apply to be sheriff in this quiet, safe town – a far cry from the dangerous and gritty towns he worked in his ten-year career as a lawman. When all the applicants arrive at the jailhouse, he and two other men discover that the fourth applicant is Paisley Bell – a woman! Cade has trouble adjusting to the idea of a female sheriff, and in the beginning he and Paisley bicker and fight verbal battles almost constantly. But as they get to know one another, a deep and mutual respect builds. Their mutual respect is the foundation of their romance, and really, one of the best things about this book.
The romance builds slowly, and there's no sex. It is 1875, after all. This knocks down one of my major objections to historical romances. I'm no longer interested in reading historical books that completely disregard the setting. In this book, it comes to life. Lots of the town's residents are given their own quirks, problems, and perspectives. The town's problems are people problems, like the inconvenience of a jail filled with ribbons because that's where they're sold. And the two farmers who have an inordinate amount of affection for a single hen. There are real problems, too. Cade and other men in the town are dealing with the repercussions of fighting in the American Civil War. And Paisley is taking care of her father, who is unable to take care of himself.
Paisley is wonderful – struggling to hold on to her way of life, dealing with her father's problems, and fighting to be able to perform a job she does well against nearly universal prejudice. She's defiant, witty, strong, and vulnerable.
I challenge you to fall in love with these characters and this town like I did, and to cheer for Paisley and Cade as they work to protect their quirky town from robbers and crooks.

Di established the Identification and Reconstruction Department which evolved with the growth of the helpline. An early description of the department's aims reads:
"An unidentified body, whether alive (unconscious, Alzheimer's, amnesiac) or dead, is a missing person until the family or next of kin has been informed. It also registers details of non-vulnerable missing persons whose disappearance may not have been reported to the police, and has an extensive database of relatives seeking news of missing persons. This may be particularly valuable in cases where the unidentified person appears to have lost touch with his or her family. Records are kept of people who have been missing for many years and are never removed from the database."
Di's department provided a free service to police, coroners, hospitals and nursing homes by running a check of its database for possible matches with the unidentified body, for example, by clothing or physical description. Di was skilled in modifying post mortem photographs on computer to aid identification. When all other avenues had been exhausted, Di could undertake a 3D clay reconstruction on skeletal or decomposed remains.
It was already apparent to the charity that one of the problems attached to the issue of missing people concerned the bodies or parts of bodies which would be found. In the 1990s, police records were not centralized but the NMPH register was a national one. One of the methods used by NMPH was to organize conferences and seminars for the police, to inform them of the work of the charity and the ID department, and to establish a good working relationship between them and the charity. That collaboration was a key element to the growth of the service to the families of missing people.
In a lecture delivered to a large gathering of police officers in 1999, Di said:
"Please contact us with your bodies! Don't just call the nearest medical person available but phone the helpdesk here and we can refer you to an expert. It is a race between us to identify the person first but who wins is unimportant…it is a race against time and the family needs to know the outcome as soon as possible".
In time, contacts in the police were made and protocols were established whereby NMPH were consulted when a person went missing or a body was found. In the ID department, following a referral by the police, there would initially be a search of the NMPH database. All the information on the body – false teeth, baldness, scars – would be entered into the system and this would result in a significant number of people being eliminated immediately. The police would be asked to send in a photo of the body as this occasionally meant that identification was possible from the photos of missing people in the NMPH records.
Di's travels
Di travelled far and wide as she sought to increase her skills in this fascinating area. In 1995 she attended the InternationalAssociation for Craniofacial Identification Conference in Florida. Thereafter, she was elected to the committee of that Association and attended international conferences where she met other forensic artists from around the world and where the exchange of information in the latest developments operated on a global basis.
An exciting opportunity arose for NMPH in 1998 when Di and a colleague travelled to The Hague to talk about the charity's work at a Europol (European police) meeting. At this time, there was no equivalent of the NMPH in Europe.
In 1999 Di spoke at the British Council's third International Seminar on Advancing the Scientific Investigation of Crime.
Perhaps the most memorable trip for Di occurred in March 2001 when she attended an intense 3 week course for forensic artists at the FBI Academy located on the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia. Di describes this experience as perhaps the most challenging of her professional life. Di was accommodated in the FBI agents' building with mock training exercises taking place at all times of the day and night around her. She was given very clear advice when she arrived: "if someone tells you to stop or they will shoot – stop." Di would often see helicopters flying overhead with marines hanging out of t
