Research objectives
The Complex Photonic Systems (COPS) group aims to control light and optical processes in nanophotonic structures, and strives for maximum scientific impact. We were among the first five groups worldwide (at present hundreds if not thousands) that initiated optical experiments on photonic bandgap crystals, and we have pioneered inverse opals, the most powerful crystals for visible light. We have opened a new field of research by shaping wavefronts to focus light in or beyond opaque media. We have performed pioneering studies on Anderson localization and diffusion of light. Our present research goals are:
- To focus light deep inside opaque metamaterials.
- To develop innovative imaging methods based on the control of optical wavefronts.
- To demonstrate "sweet spots" in photonic metamaterials where quantum systems such as quantum dots experience greatly enhanced or strongly inhibited light-matter interaction.
- To realize functional 3D photonic bandgap crystals with high-Q cavities by CMOS-compatible methods.
- To switch the properties of cavities at ultimate repetition rates and speeds.
- To have light propagate over unprecedented distances across imperfect photonic circuits.
- To explore novel opportunities for applications and fundamental science using interference in complex media.
Our research can be divided into five subjects, click on the names for a more detailed description:
Light propagation at the nanoscale
Spontaneous emission control
Ultrafast switching
Wavefront shaping of light
The Complex Photonic Systems chair has excellent facilities for its research. New laboratory spaces have been created for COPS in the Meander-building, in use since November 2010. These facilities include a ground floor laboratory with excellent characteristics, and a well-equipped chemical preparation facility. Our state of the art optics lab disposes of top of the range lasers, spectrometers, goniometers, and cryostats, and is maintained by excellent technicians. Read more about the facilities here. You can find a small image gallery here.

How will we travel to Europa on the cheap? Nasa calls for cut-price mission ideas to explore Jupiter's icy moon
- Nasa is now accepting proposals for missions to explore Jupiter's moon
- They are looking to do the mission for less than $1 billion (£590 million)
- Europa is thought to be one of the most likely places for alien life
- Beneath its icy surface is a subsurface ocean protected from radiation
- But to date only a few spacecraft have studied the frozen satellite
- A new mission could orbit the moon and even dive under the surface
It's regarded as one of most promising places for alien life in the solar system.
But missions to Europa have been few and far between, with many questions about this frozen moon still left unanswered.
Now in an effort to carry out some key research on Jupiter's moon, Nasa is finally looking at proposals – but they're sticking to a tight budget.
Nasa is now accepting mission proposals to explore Jupiter's icy moon Europa. In this image, taken by Voyager 2 as it flew by on 9 July 1979, can be seen chaos terrain, faults and ridges that are almost certaintly the result of a vast, ice-capped global ocean underground
Nasa issued the Request for Information (RFI) to science and engineering communities for ideas for a mission to Europa to be submitted by 30 May.
The RFI's focus is for concepts for a mission to Europa that costs less than $1 billion (£590 million), excluding the rocket that would take them into space.
Each mission proposal must aim to meet as many of the science priorities as possible recommended by the National Research Council's 2011 Planetary Science Decadal Survey for the study of Europa.
'This is an opportunity to hear from those creative teams that have ideas on how we can achieve the most science at minimum cost,' said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for the Nasa Science Mission Directorate at the agency's headquarters in Washington.
'Europa is one of the most interesting sites in our solar system in the search for life beyond Earth.
'The drive to explore Europa has stimulated not only scientific interest but also the ingenuity of engineers and scientists with innovative concepts.'
Nasa has studied a variety of mission designs and concepts in previous years and currently is funding the development of technologies that will be needed for the science instruments for a Europa mission.
The Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey is a review of astronomy and astrophysics literature produced every 10 years.
It recommends research priorities for the coming decade based on the review.
The 2011 Decadal Survey deemed a mission to Jupiter moon's Europa as among the highest priority scientific pursuits for Nasa.
lists five key science objectives in priority order that are necessary
to improve our understanding of this potentially habitable moon.
The mission will need to:
• Characterise the extent of the ocean and its relation to the deeper interior.
Characterise the ice shell and any subsurface water, and see how they interact.
• Determine global surface compositions and chemistry, especially with regards to habitability.
Understand the formation of surface features, including sites of recent
or current activity, and identify and characterise candidate sites for
future detailed exploration.
• Understand Europa's space environment and interaction with Jupiter's magnetosphere.
There have been various proposals to explore Europa over the years, such as the Cryobot (pictured) which would be taken underground by a larger drill before it was then released into the ocean, searching for signs of past or present alien life
Congress appropriated $80 million (£47 million) for this work in the Nasa's last budget, while the most recent budget proposal requests an additional $15 million (£9 million).
Previous scientific findings point to the existence of a liquid water ocean located under the moon's icy crust.
This ocean covers Europa entirely and contains more liquid water than all of Earth's oceans combined.
Although Europa and Jupiter's other moons have been visited by other spacecraft, they were each limited to a single distant flyby of these satellites.
Nasa's Galileo spacecraft, launched in 1989 by the space shuttle, was the only mission to make repeated visits to Europa, passing close by the moon fewer than a dozen times.
In December 2013, Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope observed water vapour above the moon's frigid south polar region.
This provided the first strong evidence of water plumes erupting off the moon's surface, and a spacecraft could even be designed to fly through the plumes to make measurements of the composition of the underground ocean.
mission to Europa must take into account the harsh radiation environment
that would require unique protection of the spacecraft and instruments.
In addition, spacecraft must meet planetary protection requirements intended to protect Europa's potentially habitable ocean.
These requirements are very strict and involve ensuring that a viable Earth organism is not introduced into the Europa ocean.
Water plumes seen spouting from the surface provide evidence for the existence of a vast ocean beneath Europa. It is thought the moon holds more water than all the oceans and sea on Earth combined, making it one of the most attractive science destinations in the solar system
The last spacecraft to visit Europa was New Horizons (artist's illustration shown), which flew past the icy moon in 2007. The Nasa vehicle is now on its way to Pluto, which it will arrive at in July 2015

Silver Millionaire Review
Robert Crawford has a vision that someday silver can surpass gold when it comes to the trade market. This is exactly why he created Silver Millionaire. Basically, Silver Millionaire is an automated trading system claiming that people or traders could make tons of money by using silver instead of gold. The system believes that people/traders have been using gold too much and fail to see the potential in trading silver. However, there has been no proof of these claims; therefore, we are forced to think that these are just false claims, earning him the nickname Silver Millionaire Scam.
How to use Silver Millionaire
Like every online platform nowadays, you have to sign up before you can use Silver Millionaire. Creating the account itself is free, but then they would require you to pay a down payment to a binary option broker of their choosing before you gain or even get to use the trading system itself. Since you are just using silver, your trading options are going to be very limited, not to mention that there are only 13 spots available. This is actually the part where it gets fishy. If the system claims that it has made many traders successful, why does it have only 13 spots?
We have decided that the Silver Millionaire automated trading system is not a trusted system because of the many unproved claims and the failure to show any evidence of the profits that the "traders" they helped earned. Customer service from their end was also very poor, which adds further to the assumption that their system is not to be trusted. If you really want to venture out into to trading, we highly suggest that you go for the more tenured and well-known automated systems just to be on the safe end.

Johnny Depp Joins Alice Cooper On Stage At London Gig [PHOTOS & VIDEO]
Alice Cooper had a performance at London's 100 Club last night and was eventually joined on stage by Johnny Depp.
Before the show, Cooper posted a photo on Facebook of Depp backstage, guitar in hand, along with the caption, "Johnny Depp!! Waiting to jump on stage with Alice for '18' and 'Schools Out!'"
PHOTOS: 'Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' Premiere
Depp played guitar for "I'm Eighteen" and a medley of "School's Out" and Pink Floyd's "The Wall". He was introduced as "Johnny D from Kentucky". When Depp left, Cooper said: "I think we can use another guitar player. If this whole movie thing doesn't work out, call us."
The two are both in the new Tim Burton movie Dark Shadows, which will be out May 2012.

65, Hopewell, CAHi my name is Alphonse. I am a White / Caucasian male living in Moncton, NB, CAN. I am 5'10" tall with brown eyes and gray hair. I would describe my body type as Athletic. I have never been married and I have no children. . .
66, Dieppe, CAI,m passionate about my maker,and i believe he did not put me on this world to bealone.The one person that taugh me the most about respect and failthfulness is my father.He would sing so good that going to church with him was a sencere event
70, North Lake, CA
78, Grand Bay, CAMy great passions are my Catholic faith, my two sons and two daughters and my five grandchildren. Since the death of my beautiful wife some months ago after 49 years of marriage, our family has grown even closer together and have provided tremendous support for one another. But there is still a deep void in my life, a longing for female friendship and companionship. In my leisure time, I enjoy walks on the coastline and forest trails which I refer to as "God's Cathedral." I also enjoy fly fishing and other outdoor sports. And I love driving country roads in my new truck. I also enjoy reading and just going out for coffee.
64, Saint-Antoine, CAI would love to find a women that are Honest Sincere Romantic like to Travel enjoy Life Camping Fishing some Sports I always respect a Women and like to Spoil Her and like to be Spoil in return Thank you for your time Talk soon
62, Moncton, CAI live alone and lonely in the past five years,- but Hope one day will bring the Light to me as I may find HOPE in this suffering world,- not much the luckiest ones out of six billions of us. I trust in the Holy Spirit will nurture that the struggle with the terrible poverty of loneliness will overcome this segment of epidemic of the elders' desolation. > There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. < Imagination is the highest kite that one can fly ! While is nothing wrong with virtue, it is not the same thing as fruit of the Spirit. Seeking a lady with her feet on the ground, can make the apple crumble, while sharing a few conversation, with few laughs in the background. No longer indulging in selfish desires,-as an only choice of the past,-but enabled to ' serve 'one another in LOVE. Let the Fun-of-Life begin expressing our thoughts, daily chores and emotions, warm embraced tender love demonstrates how set us free; so we can fix our eyes on Jesus and cooperate with the Spirit to let the fruit flow. Until the moment arrives to find my Soul-mate, which is the Art of an intelligent Heart, I humbly: wish, pray, hope and gladly worship God be beholden to eternity.

General Motors rolled its 2 millionth Duramax 6.6L V-8 turbo-diesel engine off of the line today at its DMAX, Ltd. plant.
General Motors rolled its 2 millionth Duramax 6.6L V-8 turbo-diesel engine off of the line today at its DMAX, Ltd. plant.
DETROIT — After using more than 4 million gigabytes of data in 2016, Chevrolet owners in the U.S. with an in-vehicle OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot will now have access to an unlimited prepaid data plan for only $20 per month. It will be available starting March 3, and Chevrolet will offer this groundbreaking plan enabled by AT&T across its entire retail lineup.
Chevrolet announced this morning the starting price for the new off-road version of its mid-size Colorado pickup, the ZR2. The starting MSRP for the 2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2 trim is $40,995 including a $940 destination fee.
After a widely publicized sit-down with President Trump, the "Big Three" automotive manufacturers all commented after their meeting at the White House on Tuesday. The discussion's key agenda was no secret: bring manufacturing back to the U.S. and create more jobs.
Rear Seat Reminder is a new feature being unveiled on a host of GM vehicles in 2017. This industry-first feature is designed to remind drivers to check the back seat for groceries, pets or kids that could potentially be left in the back seat.
After a number of prototypes spotted over the past year, it's finally here: Chevrolet has officially unveiled its new Colorado ZR2 off-road truck at a press event in Los Angeles tonight during the opening week of the LA Auto Show.
U.S. sales of mid-size pickup trucks jumped 54 percent in September 2016 to nearly 40,000 units.
While massive year-over-year increases in pickup truck sales can often be attributed to commensurate increases in incentives, as seen with the Ram P/U's victory over the Chevrolet Silverado in September, mid-size pickup truck buyers are willing to pay big bucks.
Average transaction prices in the Toyota Tacoma-controlled midsize pickup truck segment last month, according to Kelley Blue Book, rose 6 percent compared with September 2015. That was by far the biggest increase for any segment in average transaction prices.
For the automotive aftermarket, SEMA is all about showing off the latest and greatest gear, and more often than not that comes in the form of vehicle builds around the Las Vegas Convention Center. There's everything from mild to wild, but there's also plenty of trucks and SUVs that go so far over the top that they reach a level of absurdity.
That leads us to this collection of trucks. Although fitted with suspension lifts and aftermarket wheels, in spite of the aggressive tires these trucks and Jeeps at the 2016 SEMA Show will live their lives on asphalt and never see the dirt.
Chevrolet recently unveiled its newest heavy-duty concept truck for the 2016 SEMA Show, a 2017 Silverado 2500HD Carhartt concept truck built to tackle the toughest jobs.
It's a different approach than we're used to, especially in the truck market, but Chevrolet isn't looking to be the loudest, toughest kid on the block. In fact, while toughness is vitally important to its truck line, it isn't aiming to be the loudest boaster of all the truck makers – it's actually aiming to be the smartest by focusing on the heart of the market. That's the goal with its new 2017 Silverado HD, and specifically the new fifth-generation Duramax L5P engine that powers it. Chevrolet feels its heavy-duty trucks are focused on the core of the market and improving the experience for the masses. It's not worried about having the biggest headline grabbing numbers.

The West Coast appears to be the best coast—for stock-picking, that is. As has been the case since mid-2011, most of the big-name Wall Street banks have been bested by Western regional brokerages in our semi-annual Barron's-Zacks ranking of their stock selections.
Tops in the latest contest is little McAdams Wright Ragen, whose focus list took first place in the six months through December, with a 13.8% return. For the third time in a row, the Seattle-based broker won the 60-month race, too, producing a 38% return. (See table below.) Those two results dusted the S&P's 5.95% and 8.59% returns over the six-month and five-year stretches.
Says Sid Parakh, McAdam Wright Ragen's acting research director: "Many of the companies we put on the list we never covered previously." Josh Gray for Barron's
McAdams rounded out its strong showing by garnering second place in the other two rankings, returning 18% for 12 months and 43% over 36 months. Its scores are all the more impressive as they cover both a bear- and a bull-market period. Not too shabby.
Los Angeles-based Wedbush Securities finished at the top of the 36-month ranking, though it did slip back from stronger finishes in the past two rankings. Nevertheless, like McAdams, Wedbush accomplished a "three-peat," taking home the three-year gold medal for the third consecutive time, with a 73% return that smoked its nearest competitor and the S&P's 36%.
The L.A.-based broker also had decent 12- and 60-month showings. Over six months, however, its 3% return trailed both that of the average broker and the market.
Every six months, Barron's and Zacks rank the best stock picks, or focus lists, of America's stock brokers, some of them famed Wall Street names, others less well known.
While Goldman Sachs GS -0.18973657503419672% Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

Goldman's "conviction list," as it's called, returned 19%, besting both the total returns of the average broker and the market.
In general, our surveys have indicated that the average broker tends to outpace the market during bullish phases, as was the case in 2009 and 2010 and the last half of 2012. In the more uncertain times of 2011 and 2012's first half, that's not always the case.
In the one- and three-year contests, the benchmark index outpaced the brokers. But in 2012's final six months, the average broker's gain of 7% beat the S&P 500's advance. However, since mid-2011, the average broker's focus list's returns haven't kept up with the broad market.
CHANGES IN FORTUNE among a couple of sectors last year made stock-picking treacherous, and brokers who skillfully navigated the shifting currents did well. "Energy was a real downer" in the first half, recalls Zacks equity strategist Tracey Ryniec. In fact, it was the period's worst sector, off 3.4%, versus the market's 8.3% rise. Yet in the second half, energy—led by refiners—rose 6%, topping the market's 4.7% price return and 5.95% gain with dividends.
Tech and health care, she adds, were the mirror images of energy. They climbed 13% and 10%, respectively, in the first half, but weakened in the second, with health care matching the market, and tech up less than 1%.
What's perhaps most unusual about McAdams Wright Ragen's success is that it employs only five stock analysts and, unlike the large banks and even some other regional brokers, doesn't cover every sector. "We don't look at sectors, we look at stocks," says Sid Parakh, McAdam's acting director of research. The Pacific Northwest broker favors just 20-25 names at any time, and "many of the companies we put on the list we never covered previously," he adds. Parakh says these companies are in good businesses, have attractive valuations, strong managements, and solid balance sheets.

The newest addition to McAdams' list: Devon Energy (DVN), a pure-play North American oil-and-natural-gas exploration outfit, with decent exposure to liquids. "It has one of the better balance sheets in the group," Parakh observes.
Wedbush, which like McAdams, doesn't cover every sector, focuses on life sciences, technology, consumer goods, and industrials. Its 10-to-20 name best ideas list, as it's called, benefited from strong picks in each of the four main areas it covers, says Sheri Kaiserman, the firm's head of equities. For example, Pharmacyclics (PCYC), a biopharma hematology firm, is up more than 300% since joining the list in December 2011. Phase 2 trials for ibrutinib, Pharmacyclics' promising drug for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, recently showed good results. The stock closed Thursday at $69.17; Wedbush has a $110 price target on it.

Christian Post — Dawn Loggins was abandoned by her drug-abusing parents and left homeless at age 15, and had no choice but to clean the floor of her North Carolina high school to make a living. But days before she graduated from the school last week, she received a letter from Harvard University saying she had been accepted.
"I'll work two hours before school. And then I'll go to school. And then I'll come back and work two hours after school," Dawn, who graduated from Burns High School in Cleveland County, N.C., last Thursday, told CBS News.
Dawn, 18, spent years in homes with little or no water and electricity with her drug dealer stepfather and unemployed mother. Her stepdad would often be arrested, and they would have to move from place to place. "Or my mom would use rent money to bail him out of jail," she recalled. "There would be places where we lived where there wouldn't be power and water for extended periods of time."
When Dawn was at middle school, she would visit her grandmother often. But even her home had trash all over. "She never really explained to me like that it was important to shower, it was important to take care of yourself. So I would go months at a time without showering. I would wear the same dress to school for months at a time."
Other students began to call her ugly and would tease boys saying she had a crush on them. She would go home every day and just cry.Continue Reading on www.christianpost.com

Choose a subject in whom you are interested
If you are going to spend two years researching somebody down to his or her underpants size, it helps it you are actually interested in who they are and what they have achieved. Unless, of course, you have just been paid pounds 200,000 by Harper-Collins to expose Mother Teresa as a satanist and a child molester.
Choose a living subject
This comes in very handy when you get to one of those embarrassing moments in your subject's life when several versions of "the truth" are doing the rounds. Thus I was able to telephone Richard Ingrams at any time of the day or night, and ascertain from him the definitive version of what had actually happened. I was then able to dismiss this version from my enquiries as being an obvious fabrication.
Gain your subject's confidence
This is most important, as without an introduction from your subject you are unlikely to gain an audience with his (or her) friends and relatives. Ingrams' friends were highly suspicious at first, lest my intention was to criticise or do him down gratuitously. Once he had assured them that this was not the case, they spoke to me freely, criticising him and doing him down in great detail.
Obtain a large number of photographs of your subject as a youth
Nothing to do with the book, but they're usually highly embarrassing and good for a laugh.
Check that your subject is already the recipient of massive inter- national popularity
That way, your book will sell thousands of copies in America. Unfortunately, as I found out, biographies of crusty English satirists who have made it their life's work to annoy Guardian readers don't go down a storm in Detroit.
Make sure your subject has no enemies
In the case of Ingrams, literary editors were under siege from would- be reviewers who had been sacked or libelled by the great man, and who were determined to get their own back. This would never have happened with, say, Michael Jackson, whose enemies are still not old enough to write.
Spice it up a bit
For many years, rumours have abounded that Richard Ingrams was homosexually assaulted during his National Service in Korea. I investigated this accusation from every possible angle, official and otherwise, speaking to a number of people who were present in Korea at the time, and came to the unequivocal conclusion that the rumour was entirely baseless. Lynn Barber, writing in this very newspaper, concluded that I had obviously failed as a biographer, because a real biographer would have uncovered the truth about the matter. She was, of course, absolutely right.
Make sure that your biography is not only entertaining but also a major contribution to 20th-century literature, reaching a series of devastating conclusions about the life of its subject and the state of humankind in general, before hurrying to a shattering and unputdownable conclusion
Well, obviously, I did that bit, didn't I?

Seems like I am getting nothing done at the moment. Everything seems to be on hold with me.
My cello progression is stalled, I don't seem to be getting anywhere. I don't know if it is just because I have recently changed teachers. JC wants me to do music graded tests and for the last month and a half, we have been trying to find what grade I should be sitting for. She can't decide between grade 1 & 2. At times I think that the stuff she gives me from Grade 1 is too easy and that is why I am not getting anywhere.
When I stop and think about it, if I was practicing more with this basic stuff I would probably do better in my lessons.
Sabotaged by failure to practice. That is what I am doing to myself. I either don't 'feel like' practising or make excuses to delay practise, so when I have a lesson I play badly I have no one to blame but myself.
I have even been known to do chores that I have been putting off for days so that I don't have to practise. It is such a shame that I do this to myself because I love playing the cello. I think I have said it before and I will probably say it again. I am my own worse enemy and I have to try hard not to sabotage my cello life.

What our Customers Say about our Service
"I would go so far to say this is the best customer care I have ever received. This is a very professional company, end to end. The follow up from the confirmation of the order to the delivered goods was perfect."
Kelsey Swaby - Queensland, Australia - Dec 20, 2012
"My son and two granddaughters live in Singapore. My son teaches school there. When he first went there, I sent a "have a great school year" basket. It has become a tradition to do this-over 10 years, now. The place where I usually go to send my son's annual ''have a great school year'' basket, told me they could not do it any more. I was frustrated, to say the least. I don't ''do'' computers-except what I HAVE to. But, I typed in-send a fruit basket to Singapore...this place is what I chose. I am SO glad I did. The communication was pleasant/professional, the basket was sent expediently, and it had all the things that were suggested. My son LOVED his ''have a great school year'' basket. I am extremely pleased with Giftbasketsoverseas, and shall use them again."
Ms. Esther - Conway Arkansas, USA - Aug 13, 2014

Ray, Seems this would add support to Simpson's claim that the "system" performed better than the sum of its parts. What do you think? Dennis -----Original Message----- From: RShreenan(--nospam--at)aol.com [mailto:RShreenan(--nospam--at)aol.com] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2000 9:03 PM To: seaint(--nospam--at)seaint.org Subject: Hold-down eccentricity Dennis: I recently attended a techinical seminar by USP Lumber Connectors on shear wall cyclic testing on various " site-built " shear walls with numerous types of commonly used hold- down connectors. The tests were done at UC Irvine under the direction EQE International. Los Angeles City shear wall testing was also done there. The wall panel, hold-downs and post configurations were selected to accentuate performance of the hold-hardware. The results were interesting in that out of 27 tests to plywood fastening failure, only one 4 x 4 post broke and that was due to a natural defect in the wood ( a knot ). The posts were D.F. Larch #1. Calculated bending and tension interaction indicated gross inadequacy in all samples. Anchor bolts were also over stressed but there was no sill plate failure The maximum deflection of one 2:1 aspect ratio shear wall was 3/4" due primarily to the crushing of the sill plate (3/8"). All groups of wall panels achieved UBC allowable shear values for the plywood and fasteners prior to reaching yield limit state or the code allowed drift. Perhaps one way to reduce deflection in a shear panel that has large axial post loads due to seismic is to put a galvanized light gauge, post sized plate on the bottom and set the post down on the concrete. Install the sill plate between the end posts instead of under them. Regards Ray Shreenan

It was the boldest public protest by students in Peking since the June 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square.
At one point, dozens of police and security watched as Chinese students held up a T-shirt signed with 100 names, reading "Against savage activity".
Student representatives were eventually allowed into the Indonesian embassy to deliver an 800-signature petition demanding Indonesia punish those responsible.
The students ignored an official order, turning down their request to hold a demonstration. "Like every Chinese who has a conscience I thought I should come," said a Peking University graduate, among a group of about 15 students, who held a brief sit-in at the embassy entrance. "This morning at the gate of the university, a lot of teachers tried to stop us. But I wanted to do this as I think it is right."
Yesterday's protests were timed to coincide with Indonesia's Independence Day, which it is feared may be marked by a wave of anti-Chinese violence.
While police guided the sit-in students down a nearby alley, about 150 people assembled a mile away outside the Indonesian ambassador's residence which also was surrounded by police and security officials with video cameras.
After about an hour, the demonstrators left peacefully when police said they must disperse or board a bus brought in to take them away. Police are terrified of the protests getting out of hand, but their behaviour so far suggests the government has given tacit approval to the anti-Jakarta movement.
Outrage over the atrocities committed against ethnic Chinese women in Indonesia has grown since the state-controlled media belatedly began reporting the May rapes about two weeks ago. Student activities started last week, with smaller protests, signs posted on campuses and petitions. Yesterday, across town from the student demonstrations, about 60 female Chinese intellectuals, wearing yellow ribbons, held an indoor protest in a room decked with banners reading "A blood debt should be repaid by blood" and "Indonesian monsters you are guilty".
Horrific photographs of rape victims, downloaded from the Internet, were displayed near a petition banner. Liao Xiaoyi, an environmentalist, said: "It is an opportunity for Chinese women to express their views. It is hard for people to believe. We got the news so late. I thought it happened last month - not in May."
The Chinese media gave scant coverage to the Indonesian riots in May, and the resignation of President Suharto. The parallels with Peking's pro-democracy demonstrations in June 1989 were obviously too sensitive. Nor did the Chinese government say anything in June when the first reports of Indonesian Chinese women being raped emerged. Many mainland Chinese were ignorant until reports circulated from Internet sites set up by overseas Chinese.
Leaflets handed out yesterday called on the Peking government to take a strong stance. "If the truth was reported from the land with 1.2 billion people a roar would break out that would shock the Indonesian government," a protester said.

Beneath the rot bottomed box was a scurry of beetles. I kicked them aside with my shoe and turned the hard tubes of candy beneath my foot. Wrapped in plastic each was a scabrous bone. I tore them open with my fingers. With my teeth. I tasted salt on the rocks of a receding sea. It broke open beneath my molars and spilled out a dry marrow of peanut butter.
Should we eat more?
No, I said to the boy.
They are bad aren't they?
Yes. They will kill us.

The sun was gone from the sky and there was only gray. Rain slopped down into the ribs of the old factory. There was a door within the iron ruin. Beside a collapsed boiler. I pressed the door open with my shoulder and found something.
A box long and wooden. It opened and broke apart in my hand and out came rolls of candy. They were no different than rolls of coins. We were so hungry we tore them open straight away and began to eat. The taste was the dust of a cadaver gone a hundred years. It was stepped on and shaped into coins. It choked our throats. It made the boy's eyes water.
We ate it anyway. There was nothing else.
I used to pick out the black ones, I told the boy.
I slid the colored pieces to the side of the trash lid. The boy pinched them up by ones and twos and pressed them into his mouth. He chewed loudly. I ate the black ones.
What do the black ones taste like?
Being dead, I said.
So that's what mom tastes?
I looked up through the broken timbers at the last gray light. I didn't say anything else for a long time.

text: Call it a sequel and you'll end up flat on your batteries. Magnetron is a follow-up-in-concept to Quazatron, Steve Turner's last game, which itself owed a lot to Andrew Braybrook's Paradroid. But Magnetron is different enough to take it into a different class, packing so much into 48K that the Spectrum bulges at the seams.Droid hero KLP2 is transported to a series of eight space platforms, under instructions to shut down their reactors. If you're at all surprised to hear that this task is complicated by hordes of heavily-armed guardian robots, then you obviously haven't been paying attention to the 'manual of standard computer games plots'.Fortunately the game is twelve thousand times better than it sounds. The graphics routines have been completely re-written, the screens now flipping instead of scrolling, which means that the movement of the droids is even smoother. The backgrounds usually feature two colours, which contributes to the 3-D effects. Each of the eight levels consists of sixteen screens arranged in a four-by-four grid. The slopes, causeways and ramps are similar to those of Quazatron, but scattered around them you'll find computer consoles and reactor entrances which are your main objectives.Reaching a computer console and logging on (just by standing still and pressing the fire button) will give you access to three screens of information. The first tells you the status of the reactors on the current level, the second lists the types and capabilities of the droids in the area, and the third (which you can only access if your droid classification is high enough) describes the weapons available to you. Your first task, then, is to pick out a weak droid, then return to the game screen, identify the droid by its code number, and Grapple it (Oo-er!)This leads you into a fiendish sub-game in which you must solve a sort of sliding block puzzle by nudging three rows of symbols into the right place Big problem; you only have ten seconds to do it before your target explodes. If you succeed, the target droid becomes a back-up, so that if you die you are transferred into its chassis.Always have a back-up ready, you never know when a sudden fall or a vicious cross-fire will drain your energy and destroy your current droid. If you don;t want to take over the new droid - if, for instance, its weapons are weaker than your own - you can just takes its energy and disarm its bomb.Roaming the levels blasting or grappling droids is all very well, but your aim is to reach the reactor screens. Here you have another sub-game, ridiculously simple really, in which you have to balance the positive and negative isotopes in the reactor in order either to shut it off, or to overload it. The catch is that the left-over isotopes are carried away with you, and then affect your performance. Their weight slows you down, and their magnetic charge (so that's why it's called Magnetron...) causes you to be attracted to or repelled from certain areas of the floorway (so that's why it's called Magnetron)!The trick, then, is to take over the correct droid to give you the weaponry needed to defeat the guardians, pick up the right isotopes to allow you to complete each level without being pushed off ledges by magnetic forces, and to shut down all the reactors and make your way through the darkened level to the transport pad to the next level.There are some great weapons available, including a flying disc, a boomerang bomb (watch out for the returning flight!), a bouncing bomb and a round-the-corner shot. You'll find that powerful, slow weapons are pretty useless against weak but fast droids, so choose carefully if you don't want to be battered to bits by gangs of softies.Quazatron was an SU Classic, so Magnetron must be a Classic Plus. The gameplay of the main section is more exciting than most programmers could come up with, but both the addition of the sub-games and the complexities of the strategy necessary to complete all the levels make it even zippier. It will be great to see Steve Turner coming up with a brand new game concept, but for the moment Magnetron will keep you happy whether you like a good think, a good blast or a good plot.Label: FirebirdAuthor: Steve TurnerPrice: £7.95Memory: 48K/128KJoystick: variousReviewer: Chris Jenkins

Strategic Vision
The Women's Foundation of Minnesota invests in innovation to drive gender equity in Minnesota. We aim to create a world of equal opportunity where women and girls – and all people – hold the power to create safe, prosperous lives.
In November 2015, the Foundation's Board of Trustees approved a new 10-year Strategic Plan (April 1, 2016 – March 31, 2026). We refined and focused our mission and vision, clarified our values – the three-chambered heart of the Women's Foundation: Hope, Generosity, and Inclusion – reaffirmed our guiding principles, and created four new strategic goals that will drive gender equity.
>> Strategic Plan Overview: April 2016-March 2026
With this new Strategic Plan, the Women's Foundation is anchored in the same direction, with even greater clarity and focus.
As a statewide community foundation, we are leveraging community investments (grantmaking and more), research, public policy, strategic communications, and cross-sector partnerships to ensure community solutions across Minnesota.
Investing in innovation requires us to invest in groundbreaking, root-cause removal of structural barriers to ensure systems are accessible and hold equal opportunity for all, and that new institutions and programs are built to deliver better results.
We drive gender equity because while women and girls remain at the heart of our mission, we know that men and boys must be part of the solution, and that gender equity benefits all of us. And with a focus on "equity," using our Intersectional Lens Framework (pictured, left), we continue our commitment to ensure that women and girls who experience the greatest disparities in outcomes have equal opportunity and can create and live safe, prosperous lives: low-income women and girls; women and girls of color; immigrants and refugees; lesbian, bisexual, and transgender women and girls; and women and girls with disabilities.
The Women's Foundation chose 10 years for the duration of our Strategic Plan because we know from social science that "social change" – shifts in institutions and policies, and attitudes and behaviors – takes a minimum of 10 years to seed and for that positive change to actualize. It's thrilling to anticipate the impact we will nurture and grow during the next 10 years together.

You can find the Intuit Sync Manager icon in your system tray.
There are a few different ways to restore the icon if you don't see it there.
The first time you upload your QuickBooks data to one of an Intuit online service, the Intuit Sync Manager appears in your system tray. This is usually located in the lower-right corner of your desktop.
If you don't see the Sync Manager icon, then one of the following reasons is probably the cause.
If you have received an invitation, ask your QuickBooks administrator to handle and troubleshoot the sync process.
All syncs will happen with the QuickBooks company file located on the administrator's computer. Only your administrator has Sync Manager running on their machine, and Sync Manager will appear only while the administrator is logged in to Windows.
If this is the case, do the following:
The Intuit Sync Manager is now enabled on your computer, and the Sync Manager icon appears in your system tray.
You should normally keep the Intuit Sync Manager running in your system tray so it can handle ongoing syncs, but if you've exited the Sync Manager, you can restart it.
In QuickBooks, open a company file enabled for sync and do one of the following:
Option 1: Launch Sync Manager from within QuickBooks
If you prefer, you can launch the Intuit Sync Manager from the Left Navigation bar:
Option 2: Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intuit\Sync and double-click IntuitSyncManager.exe.
Option 3: If double-clicking the file doesn't open Sync Manager and restore the icon, then right-click IntuitSyncManager.exe and select Run as Administrator.
If none of the preceding actions restores the icon, you may need to exit QuickBooks and restart your computer.
