As the recently appointed Vice President of the Forum Nokia Developer Community, Purnima Kochikar is responsible for strategy and growth opportunities with Nokia's third-party developers to create a vibrant Nokia ecosystem. She took a few minutes to talk with Dr. Dobb's.
Q: Nokia recently released the Nokia Booklet 3G, one of its few non-phone mobile devices. How will Forum Nokia support application development on this new platform?
A: Forum Nokia's support for cross-platform development using Qt will be one important resource for many developers creating applications for the Nokia Booklet 3G. Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework that allows developers to write applications once and deploy them across many desktop and embedded operating systems -- including mobile -- without rewriting the source code. But let's be clear, the Nokia Booklet 3G, although not a mobile phone as we know it, is perfectly capable of making phone calls too.
Q: Another recent Forum Nokia announcement involved "Ovi Developer Beta." Can you tell us about it? What is it? What's unique about it?
A: The Ovi for Developers program is a closed beta to get feedback from developers for the SDK that will include two newly announced APIs, Ovi Navigation Player API and Ovi Maps Player.
The Ovi Maps Player API provides access to maps, location and POIs on mobile devices. The Ovi Navigation API for mobile gives developers an easy way to integrate drive and walk navigation services using a few lines of JavaScript into their applications.
As Web development on mobile devices evolves to support cross-platform and cross-device standards, the Ovi developer offering will be increasingly important as a way for Nokia to provide exciting opportunities to our developer community.
Q: Forum Nokia just announced the winners of the Calling All Innovators. What was your favorite app entry?
A: This was difficult for not only me but all the judges at Nokia. We were pleased to receive over 1,700 entries, and to narrow it down to three finalists in each of the four categories, and then to select the best in each category, was extremely difficult. All the finalists were very deserving.
One of my favorites is one that is not a category winner at all. We chose the final category winners based on four criteria: quality/functionality; uniqueness, novelty value and innovativeness; usability/creativity; and commercial viability/market potential. My favorite app is one that scored very high on creativity and commercial viability and so we created a Special Recognition Award for Innovation and a cash prize of $10,000 USD to MoBots, submitted by DEIMOS Space from Madrid, Spain. MoBots are easy-to-configure automations created by individuals directly on their Nokia S60 mobile device. The MoBots app is designed so that anyone -- even non-programmers -- can develop practical applications for use on their mobile phone with only a few simple steps. Individuals can set up new, customized MoBots using the application's appealing, on-screen visual interface; and the results can be shared in the mobots.org community so that more people can take advantage of the creativity that MoBots support.
Q: As a C++ programmer, you're probably happy with Carbide and Qt. But will any of the lightweight dynamic languages have a bigger role in Forum Nokia as we move forward?
A: Absolutely. We're making a big investment in Web development and Web developers, increasing our focus on the Web Runtime (WRT) as a key developer environment on Nokia devices. The Web Runtime transforms standard Web technology like HTML and JavaScript into a first-class application development environment. Nokia has plug-ins for the tools that web developers use today such as Dreamweaver, Aptana and Visual Studio. With these plug-ins, web developers can easily create mobile widgets bringing their existing web content to Nokia devices and for distribution to consumers through Ovi Store.
Q: Nokia in general has a broad range of operating system support -- Symbian, Windows, and Linux, come to mind -- and language support -- C/C++, Java, and Python, among others. Is this spreading developers and Forum Nokia too thin?
A: Nokia is evolving to a more cross-platform approach to software development, and will place greater emphasis on Qt for application development, and Web Runtime for service development, across all Nokia devices and platforms. Of course, Forum Nokia will continue to support the very active developer communities in Symbian C++, Java, and other environments, but a larger amount of our focus will be on these cross-platform environments, which should bring great benefits to developers in terms of productivity and access to devices and markets.
Q: WRT is one of the really powerful tools that developers don't hear a lot about. Is it part of Forum Nokia, or is it another part of Nokia? Where do you see it going?
A: As mentioned earlier, WRT is a critical part of Nokia's software strategy going forward. Forum Nokia is already supporting Web developers with extensive documentation, tools, and other resources, and will continue to do so as the WRT environment expands to support more powerful features, like increased access to platform services and Ovi, and improved user interface frameworks.

US mortgage rates jump to highest level in 7 years
Published 11-08-2018
U.S. mortgage rates jumped this week to the highest level in seven years, a trend that is pulling down home sales and slowing home price growth.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate on a 30-year, fixed rate mortgage rose to 4.94 percent, from 4.83 percent last week. A year ago the rate was 3.9 percent.
The average rate on a 15-year, fixed rate loan increased to 4.33 percent, from 4.23 percent last week.
Higher rates have kept many would-be purchasers on the sidelines. Sales of existing homes have fallen for six straight months, and sales of newly-built homes have declined for four months.
Freddie Mac says home price increases are slowing as a result, particularly in higher-priced coastal cities.

LOS ANGELES - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced that a federal court has approved a $1,245,000 settlement of a class action race discrimination lawsuit brought by EEOC and private counsel against McKesson Water Products Company and Groupe Danone (which acquired McKesson in 2000). The suit was filed under Title VII OF the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Judge Florence Marie Cooper of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California approved the Consent Decree on February 13, 2002, providing for payment of the damages to the class members and eight of the individuals who originally brought the charges to the EEOC in 1998. In addition to the monetary compensation, the settlement, (Case No. CV 01-09496 FMC PJWx), also provides for wide- ranging injunctive relief, including the implementation of company anti-discrimination policies and procedures; the provision of training on equal employment opportunity law; the institution of a formal job bidding system; and the development and implementation of improved criteria for determining route assignments, compensation, promotions, and performance evaluations.
"There are tremendous positives that have come out of the settlement of this case," said EEOC Chair Cari M. Dominguez. "The company can now turn its attention to further preventing and eliminating workplace barriers - both organizational or attitudinal - that obstruct fair and free competition in the workplace."
The EEOC initiated an investigation of McKesson in 1998 when Steven Crutchfield and several other African-American employees filed charges of discrimination with the Commission alleging that they had suffered racial discrimination at the drinking water processing and delivery company.
Specifically, they charged that McKesson had paid African-American drivers less and increased their compensation at a slower rate than white drivers. They claimed that McKesson assigned African-American drivers to routes in low-income neighborhoods, which were often less profitable than routes in affluent communities. Because pay and promotion were tied to the profitability of the routes, the African-American drivers received lower compensation and fewer promotions than those assigned to the affluent areas.
"Black drivers understood that they would work the so-called 'ghetto routes' while Beverly Hills would be handled by white drivers," said Antonio Lawson, private attorney for the drivers who filed the charges. "After many years of job segregation, they decided enough was enough."
Based upon its investigation, the EEOC joined with Lawson, the Pasadena firm of Traber & Voorhees, and Berkeley-based The Impact Fund, a non-profit civil rights law firm, to pursue the class action lawsuit against McKesson. Lawson and the EEOC will monitor the provision of injunctive relief for the duration of the five-year consent decree.
"In addition to providing a substantial amount of monetary relief to the victims, the settlement puts in place extensive mechanisms to further improve the company's workplace policies and practices," said Olophius Perry, Acting Director of the EEOC's Los Angeles District Office, which is handling the case. "The monitoring provisions of the consent decree will allow the Commission to work collaboratively and proactively with the company over the next five years to prevent discrimination."
EEOC Regional Attorney Anna Y. Park pointed out the smooth cooperation between the EEOC and private counsel in prosecuting the suit: "The Commission congratulates the employees and their private counsel, as well as counsel for Danone. We believe that Danone, which inherited McKesson's problems, is committed to a policy of non-discrimination. During the next five years, we will work with private counsel and Danone to ensure that the procedures put in place by this Consent Decree will be administered properly."
Michael Harrison, Vice President and General Counsel for Danone North America, who led the negotiations for Danone, remarked: "We are committed to working closely with the EEOC in successfully implementing the settlement agreement. We look forward to moving ahead with Danone's culture and values to ensure that our company is a great place to work for all employees."
In addition to enforcing Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin, the EEOC enforces the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, which protects workers 40 and older from discrimination based on age; the Equal Pay Act; Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits employment discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; prohibitions against discrimination affecting individuals with disabilities in the federal government; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Further information about the Commission is available on the agency's Web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Hydrox Cookies Are Dead
The Wall Street Journal says that Hydrox cookies (similar, but apparently superior in some way to Nabisco's OREO cookies) have been discontinued by Kellogg, much to the dismay of Hydrox loyalists.
In 2003, without warning or announcement, Kellogg Co. killed off the cookie — by then rechristened Droxies — after failing to gain ground against the dominant Oreo, one of the country's best-selling snack foods.
While aware that Hydrox cookies were becoming harder to find, many of their fans are learning only now they are gone.
"This is a dark time in cookie history," wrote Gary Nadeau of O'Fallon, Mo., last year on a Web site devoted to Hydrox. "And for those of you who say, 'Get over it, it's only a cookie,' you have not lived until you have tasted a Hydrox."
We've never had this cookie, so we're not going to pretend to care if it is discontinued, but we do remember what happened when, early this century, we went to the store and found out that Jell-O Pudding Pops no longer existed. It was not pretty. No, it was not. (They eventually came back, are they still around?) Also, we used to like TEAM flakes when we were very, very tiny. It's bullsh*t that they discontinued that cereal. We don't even remember what it tasted like, but it's still bullsh*t.
So, Hydrox people, we feel your pain. Have you all tried launching an EECB (executive email carpet bomb) on Kellogg? To learn to launch an EECB, click here.

| 9.3°C Belfast
London mayor Boris Johnson has accused rail union boss Bob Crow of trying to hold the capital to ransom before the first of two threatened Tube strikes.
Mr Johnson hit out after photographs appeared in the press showing the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union (RMT) general secretary sunning himself on a Brazilian beach while on a cruise holiday just days before the first 48 hour walk-out is due to begin tomorrow.
In his weekly column for The Daily Telegraph, the mayor said that while he did not begrudge Mr Crow his holiday, he was not entitled to disrupt the lives of millions of people trying to go about their everyday business.
"I love a beach holiday myself; like Bob, I have some groovy swimwear that doesn't always meet with acclaim; and I consider it the right of every freeborn Englishman to drink a bottle of wine and turn the colour of a lobster in the sun. Bob Crow is entitled to his holiday," he wrote.
"What he should certainly not be able to do, in my view, is prepare to disrupt the lives of millions of people who are not on holiday but who want to work; indeed, who need to get to work tomorrow to earn the bread for themselves and their families - the bread that will allow them to pay for a holiday of a kind that Bob has been enjoying."
Mr Johnson dismissed the action over ticket office closures on the Underground as "politically-motivated muscle-flexing" by the unions in the hope of attracting members.
With fewer than half the RMT members taking part in the ballot and just 30% of the membership voting in favour action, Mr Johnson reiterated his call for legislation to render any strike ballot void unless at least 50% of the workforce take part.
"It is absolutely outrageous that London, the motor of the UK economy - now contributing 25% of GDP - should be held to ransom by this tiny minority," he said.
Last ditch talks aimed at averting the strikes will be held today.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) and the Transport Salaried Staffs Association are due to walk out for 48 hours from 9pm tomorrow and again a week later, in protest at the closures and the loss of hundreds of jobs.
Mr Johnson has offered to hold talks, but only if the industrial action is called off.
The two sides met at the conciliation service Acas last week, with little sign of a breakthrough.
Mr Crow said: "The RMT remains totally committed to making progress through those negotiations.
"In the meantime I have had further correspondence with Boris Johnson and we are available for direct talks with the mayor with no preconditions.
"We are awaiting his confirmation that he is up for getting round the table with no preconditions or caveats."
London Underground has announced contingency plans for the strike days, but passengers face travel chaos if the action goes ahead.
Transport for London warned that Tube services will be hit if the strikes go ahead as planned.
In a statement, it said: "Should the RMT and TSSA strike action go ahead, London Underground will keep as many stations open and run as many trains as possible.
"Services will be affected from 9.30pm on Tuesday February 4 so customers are asked to try to complete journeys as early as possible that evening.
"If your Oyster card needs topping up, it may help to do this in advance of the industrial action starting.
"There will be disruption to journeys on Wednesday and Thursday, when Tube services will start later and finish earlier than normal - trains will run from around 7am to 11pm."
London Underground managing director Mike Brown said: "My message to the union leaderships is that it's not too late to do the right thing, call off this completely unnecessary strike and work with us to help shape the future of the Tube. All a strike will achieve is to lose those who take part four days' pay.
"Should the strike go ahead, we'll do all we can to keep customers informed and ensure we keep London moving and open for business."

The Wall Street Journal (via Business Insider) reports that Apple is now allowing a small group of employees to spend up to two weeks working on special projects outside of their standard job responsibilities. According to the report, this initiative is dubbed "Blue Sky".
Apple's program is similar to Google's long-standing "20 percent time." Google's "20 percent time" allows employees to spend one day a week on side projects that may create usable products or solutions.
Tim Cook apparently started "Blue Sky" earlier this year, though an exact date was not revealed.

OMG I bought this color the other day and when I swatched it for my blog I feel in LOVE!! It is so unbelieveably cute and is great for spring! This polish also last long and it isn't streacky which is great!!
I have been practically HOARDING this nail polish for years and years now! It is still one of my favorite formulations because it's USUALLY nicely pigmented, dries quickly and lasts a long while before it starts to chip. And the price is awesome! (Only about $2.50 a bottle). And the top coat is my GO TO top coat. I put it over EVERYTHING and it rocks!
I am always a fan of Sally Hansen nail polish so it's no surprise that the Xtreme line is anything less than amazing. The formula is really opaque and even one coat is enough! It's really easy to apply and the color stays true to the bottle so what you see is what you get. I am on my third day (with only one coat!) and there are very minimal chippings. As you can see from my picture I was really excited with it! I have many other colors from the Xtreme wear line and all of them live up to the 5 star standard. It's quite possibly even my favorite nail polish brand. Make sure to go try it out for yourself!
These are an iffy. I do buy them given they are so cheap and good quality for the price you pay, and have many colors. But they can go wrong. Some are incredibly pigmented. Some you have to apply 3 layers before you get the color pay off. I wish they would advertise weather or not the product is sheer. The only thing I notice is if the products has a matte finish the product gets thicker wayyy quicker then the shimmery ones. Overall though for $3, why not. I keep the matte colors in the fridge and this way they last a lot longer.
I REALLY wanted to love this product, but I don't like having to put 9 coats on for it to be opaque. I have the lavender one. It's also really thick and takes a long time to dry, especially after 56 coats it takes to look ok. Good colors, but mediocre polish.
They have awesome bright colors and so many to chose from!! The color goes on great, it's bright and amazing!! It's also really good for water marbling!! Next to Essie, this is one of my favorite brands!
As I said in the title: I'm in love. It's a very cheap nail polish and it's amazing! I just love Sally's colors and formula. Her nail polish will last me at least a week and a half without chipping. A great buy!
great solid pigment, beautiful gloss and it pops. looks wonderful on short or long nails. 1 to 2 coats are suffice as initial coverage goes on quite thick but not in an unpleasant manner.
really good formula! and all the collection is very opaque! at maximum 2 coats to get full coverage. The brush doesn't leave streaks ,so application is always easy. this shade un particular is one of muy favorites!
I love it and i just think its perfect for anyone! I like this one alot necause its just my shade. Everyone can like Sally Hansen! I also love Sally Hansen nail art strips!

Stoner Cooking: Upscale Sliders
Meatball mixture kicks your grilled burger up a notch
Diane Rossen Worthington
Try these upscale sliders on your grill instead of the usual burger.
In their book, "Stonewall Kitchen Grilling," authors Jonathan King, Jim Stott and Kathy Gunst use a meatball mixture in this recipe for patties that are grilled and served on crunchy toasted slices of French bread. The sandwiches are spread with a spicy tomato ketchup, relish or chutney.
The term slider comes from the famous White Castle burger chain, the first of which opened in Kansas in 1921. Originally called "Slyders," the miniature burgers were cooked on top of a bed of onions and then slid into soft rolls.
The simple meatballs of this recipe combine ground meat, grated Parmesan, fresh sage, egg and panko breadcrumbs.
The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to suit a barbecue of any size. Present them on a large platter, and serve with a large green salad, coleslaw or potato salad. What a perfect way to get ready for summer.
Meatball sliders
Prep: 30 minutes
Cook: 8 minutes
Servings: 12 sliders
1 pound ground round or sirloin
1 large egg
2/3 cup panko or regular dried breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons minced fresh sage or 1 1/2 Tbsp dried, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
12 slices French bread, 3/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup spicy ketchup or tomato chutney
1 Combine the ground meat, egg, panko, Parmesan, sage, salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Work the meat to thoroughly incorporate all the ingredients; form into 2-inch patties. Place the bread slices on a plate; drizzle both sides with the oil.
2 Prepare a grill for direct, high heat. Grill sliders to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, and up to 5-6 minutes for well done. During the last minute, place the oiled bread on the grill; toast until golden brown, about 30 seconds per side.

4.0=Alarm,Voice Commands, Auto-Presenting Door Handles,Vehicle Sleep, App Launcher, Range Driving Mode, and many more...
thank you. Looking forward to my MS
Thanks for posing the update. Awesome stuff.
Super cool.
Wow, this is great. Looking forward to it. Thanks for posting. Any idea when this will become available? The notes just say "in the coming days".
couldn't open the file. It said it was "damaged" and needed repair. Can you repost? Or has anyone else had the same problem?
I opened it.....no problem.
it opened up fine for me
anything about automatic folding mirrors?
THIS is just SO COOL!!
Tesla is light years ahead of the other car manufacturers!
Thanks for posting!
"vehicle sleep" brings to my mind a feature I would like to add: put the 17 inch monitor to sleep or blank it while driving. Only the monitor, not the computer behind it. Less distraction and light when it is dark outside. If I need it I could either tap one of the controls on the steering wheel or the screen itself.
Timo -- I thought that that feature already exists? I forget where exactly, but it's somewhere in the "controls" dialog. I'm nowhere near my car right now, so I can't check.
So cool. Thanks. Now, if I only had the car :)
Can you please send to me!?? I cant open.
This is amazing! Now if they can figure out how to get a coatrack installed via a software update.
@michaelwm, if that is already there my only complaint about touchscreen instead of traditional controls just gone away, so, Cool!
Okay, I guess I imagined it!
I explored the "controls" dialog this evening and could only find options to turn off the car as a whole. Nothing that lets you turn off just the 17" screen. You can dim it down to zero, but that also dims the instrument panel, so it's still not even close to what you're looking for.
'My mirrors" are first in line!
Coatrack next
HaHa! I meant coat hanger but I think you knew that.

By Rita Henley Jensen
SOWETO, South Africa (WOMENSENEWS)--Our guide's eyes here were damp as she placed her hand on her belly. Her voice betrayed the struggle she was having controlling her emotions as our group of 14 women from the United States fell quiet.
We stood together in the warm South African sun, in the open plaza commemorating the events of June 16, 1976, when the Afrikaaner police opened fire on protesting high school students.
With the murmur of the fountain adding to the sense of peace and sorrow, Refilwe Mathe explained the route the protestors took and the words on the signs they carried, demanding they not be forced to study in Afrikaan, the language of the authors of the apartheid.
While her voice became even sadder, together we stared at the iconic photo of Hector Pieterson's dead body, 13 years old, being carried toward a rescuer by 18-year-old Mbuyisa Makhubo as Pieterson's sister, Antoinette Sithole, 17, ran alongside. The teen was one of about 200 who died during the 1976 student uprising, including Mathe's own aunt and three uncles, she explained.
The pain and hope for change from the years of apartheid rule felt ever-present to me as I recently visited the country for the first time to meet female activists and learn more about how the nation's constitution came to specifically include women's rights.
As I stared at the image of Sithole, touched by her obvious pain, I began to wonder if there were similar tributes to the women of South Africa. During my 10-day stay, I heard of none.
The roar of the continuing violence, with its enormous toll on the lives of women and girls, was overpowering, though. Model Reeva Steenkamp was murdered by Olympic star Oscar Pistorius and he was released on bail. Three men were arrested for taking part in the gang rape and disembowelment of a 17-year-old, a murder so brutal that President Jacob Zuma, once a rape suspect himself involving a teen, issued a statement describing the crime as "shocking," "cruel" and "inhumane." Zuma also called for a "concerted campaign to end this scourge in our society."
Frighteningly High Violence
On the day our group left, we were confronted with the reality that many African men, particularly immigrant men, also continue to live with a frightening level of violence. The front pages of the newspapers were filled with images of the murder of a Mozambique taxi driver who was killed by police dragging him behind a moving vehicle.
"The level of anger, the level of aggression, the level of violence in which we relate to one another," Graca Machel, Nelson Mandela's wife, was quoted as saying. "I think it expresses a much deeper trouble we have to deal with our past."
But the country is also full of a national pride and hope inspired by its peaceful transition to democracy 19 years ago, the fruit of more than 80 years of resistance of British racial separation policies and later the Afrikaaners' imposition of an even harsher apartheid.
Both regimes maintained racial separation through autocratic laws, mass arrests, constant harassment and a brutal police force.
Although women's roles in the resistance are rarely singled out, you can get a glimpse at the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg. There, a booklet based on a relatively modest 2006 exhibit, "Our Triumphs and Our Tears," is available for purchase, as are three slender biographies of women active in the anti-apartheid movement.
As the exhibit explained, Charlotte Maxeke, an African, was a key organizer in the successful1913 march against British authorities' efforts to impose laws requiring black women to purchases "passes" and carry them at all times or risk arrest.
Prior to British rule, African women could own property and had legal rights. In 1927, British law declared them legal minors, dependent on their spouses.
In 1943, The African National Congress Women's League was formed. The booklet doesn't mention it, but Maxeke was president of its predecessor and Lilian Ngoyi became its first president.
Afrikaaners' New Rules
Nine years later, the Afrikaaners, descendants of French, German and Dutch settlers, taking note of a large presence of black women in the urban areas, imposed pass laws on all black women and built male-only housing for black urban residents. Afrikaaners also took over the brewing and selling of beer, an industry that up until then had been a source of significant revenue for urban black women, according to the exhibit's booklet.
With the family structure destroyed by the pass laws and few economic opportunities left to them, black women began to protest, and were joined by several white female anti-apartheid activists.
In 1956, Ngoyi led 20,000 women protesting the pass laws, a march so significant that its anniversary of Aug. 9 each year is celebrated as National Women's Day.
Ngoyi was also one of the founders of the union of garment workers and spent her life resisting apartheid, even as she continued to sew clothes to support her two children and mother. Ngoyi was also central to the leadership of another powerful organization, the Federation of South African Women.
She had a close friend and ally in Helen Joseph, a white woman born in England who is shown arm-in-arm with other leaders of the march. Ngoyi and Joseph were frequently imprisoned for their relentless support of women's rights and the anti-apartheid movement. Both were accused of treason and endured trials lasting four year, according to their biographies.
Our group stayed in the Soweto Hotel, overlooking Freedom Square and the memorial to the 1955 Freedom Charter that laid out the goals of the anti-apartheid movement. The charter explicitly includes women's rights and is the basis for much of the nation's constitution adopted nearly 40 years later, which also explicitly includes women's rights. Ngoyi was one of the drafters of the Freedom Charter.
Helen Suzman was the sole member of the Progressive Party in parliament for 15 years and served a total of 36 years. She exploited her position by traveling the nation, witnessing the effects of apartheid. She spoke on the floor of the parliament, detailing the consequences of its racial laws, making it possible for news media to report what they were otherwise legally barred from publishing. Suzman's father fled Czarist Russia to avoid growing anti-Semitism, and she made the connection between the persecution of Jews in Europe and apartheid in her homeland.
These and other women such as Annie Silinga, Ray Alexander and Josie Palme all contributed enormously to the transition to constitutional democracy that includes women and men.
A Horrific Legacy
Women and girls, meanwhile, bear the brunt of the most horrific legacies of the British and Afrikaaner eras.
Data indicate a woman is raped every four minutes in South Africa. The larger the age gap between the young women and her male partner the more likely she is to be HIV infected, according to Dr. Helen Rees, head of the WITS Reproductive Health and HIV Institute in Johannesburg. The rates of HIV infection increase from about 3 percent at 15 years to around 30 percent by the time women are in their mid-20s, most infected by an encounter with one man. In some communities, 50 percent of the young women are HIV positive.
Overall, 5 million people are HIV positive, 10 percent of the population, and about 40 percent of those are receiving drugs that can control it.
South African police tallies of the toll of domestic violence include 15,609 murders and 64,500 reported rapes in 2011-12.
The nation's Medical Research Council found that, while a quarter of women had been raped, just 2 percent of those raped by a partner reported the incident to police.
Prudence Mabele, executive director of the Positive Women's Network, makes the argument to national leaders that in order for her organization to truly serve women with HIV or AIDS, the nation's health care system must address the level of violence against women. And when Rees was asked if any public health campaigns have been targeted toward the older men who are infecting the nation's female teens, she shook her head no, with an air of sadness.
Perhaps it is time for this nation to build one more memorial, one honoring the work of women such as Maxeke, Ngoyi, Joseph, Suzman, Mabele and Rees.
Rita Henley Jensen is editor in chief of Women's eNews and recently traveled to South Africa to meet leaders of nongovernmental organizations and others committed to improving the lives of women and girls. Read the original blog here.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republican leaders struggled Tuesday to win over conservatives for a plan that would keep the government running through mid-December and force the Senate to vote on derailing implementation of President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
House leaders unveiled the plan to rank-and-file Republicans Tuesday but it was met with skepticism from some prominent conservatives and landed with a thud among grassroots architects of the "defund 'Obamacare'" drive.
The GOP plan would employ an unusual procedural trick to make sure that the tea party-backed assault on Obamacare is passed by the House as part of the stopgap funding bill but is decoupled from the measure when sent to the Senate.
The plan is designed to ensure smooth passage of the funding bill before the start of the new budget year and avoid a government shutdown that could be a political disaster for Republicans if they get saddled with the blame.
"Our goal here is not to shut down the government. Our goal is to cut spending and to stop Obamacare," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said. "I believe that the strategy that was outlined to the members this morning accomplishes that."
But it got poor reviews from some conservatives who see the strategy as a thinly-veiled gimmick. They want to send the legislation to block the health care law as part of a must-pass measure like the stopgap funding bill, which needs to be passed by the Democratic-led Senate and signed by the president if it is to become law.
More pragmatic Republicans see the demand to defund Obamacare as a condition for keeping the government open as a political loser and they note that Democrats could simply peel the provision off of the funding bill and stuff it back in the House's face. Conservative activists, however, are insistent on marrying the two issues, and groups like the Heritage Foundation are pressuring GOP lawmakers to get behind it.
Hard-line lawmakers like Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., took to Twitter to denounce the idea, calling it "hocus pocus." Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., chairman of the influential Republican Study Committee, a group of conservatives that comprises a majority of the GOP caucus, said he couldn't endorse the effort. And Senate Republicans behind the drive, including Ted Cruz of Texas, blasted it as well. Cruz is enormously popular with conservative voters.
"If House Republicans go along with this strategy, they will be complicit in the disaster that is Obamacare," Cruz said in a statement. "Another symbolic vote against Obamacare is meaningless."
House Democrats won't vote for the GOP plan so it will require a united front among Republicans to pass it. Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland said Tuesday that he wouldn't be able to vote for an underlying stopgap measure as well, citing its embrace of automatic, across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration. That would seem to make it impossible for GOP leaders to pass a straightforward stopgap funding bill as has typically been the case.
The difficulty in advancing the stopgap measure, known as a continuing resolution, doesn't inspire confidence in Congress' capacity to approve an even more important measure to increase the government's $16.7 trillion borrowing cap. House and Senate leaders have yet to devise a strategy for grappling with the debt limit increase, which is required to avoid a first-ever default on U.S. obligations.
A spokesman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said the No. 2 House leader told his fellow Republicans Tuesday that GOP leaders would rejoin the battle against Obamacare when the House considers the debt limit.
The Democratic and Republican leaders of both the House and Senate have agreed to meet Thursday on the fall congressional agenda.
The deadline for action is looming. A new estimate by a Washington think tank predicted the United States could default on its obligations as early as Oct. 18 if Congress and the president fail to agree on legislation to raise the so-called debt limit.
The Bipartisan Policy Center analysis says the default date would come no later than Nov. 5 and that the government would quickly fall behind on its payments, including Social Security benefits and military pensions.
The think tank's estimate is in line with a warning last month by Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew that the government would exhaust its borrowing authority by mid-October and be left with just $50 billion cash on hand.
The government has never defaulted on its obligations. Raising the $16.7 trillion borrowing cap promises to be a major struggle for House Republicans and Obama.
Two years ago Obama agreed to pair a $2.1 trillion increase in the debt limit with an equivalent amount in spending cuts spread over 10 years. But the president now says he won't negotiate over the debt limit and is asking Congress to send him a straightforward increase that would ensure the government can pay its bills.
In January, House Republicans permitted an increase in the debt ceiling without demanding offsetting spending cuts.
It's commonly agreed that failure to increase the debt limit on time would roil financial markets and lead to a downgrade of the government's credit rating. The political fallout would also be intense, especially if Social Security benefits are delayed.
Tuesday's study predicts that if the default date — which is when the government cannot pay its bills in full and on time — comes on Oct. 18, the subsequent Social Security payments due on Nov. 1 could be delayed by almost two weeks.

Exercises and Workouts - Four Checks To Make During Your Cardio Workouts
Exercises and Workouts - Four Checks To Make During Your Cardio Workouts
By Beverleigh H Piepers
When it is time for a cardio session, what do you typically do? If you are like many people when working out, you hop on the machine and begin exercising. There is not much thought put into it; you have done this a hundred times before so you know how the process goes.
However, next time you have a workout planned, you may want to slow down and think about what you are doing a little more. Here are four checks to make to help you know what you are doing during your cardio workouts. They will help you to get better results...
1. Check Your Breathing. Most people do not think about their breathing during cardio training as it is something that occurs naturally. They go about their session and let their breathing take care of itself.
While this may seem okay, it is not. It would be best if you focused on regular controlled breathing as this will ensure enough oxygen is entering your lungs and muscles; helping you destroy fatigue before it hits.
2. Monitor Your Heart Rate. The next step is to monitor your heart rate. While this does take a bit of effort on your part, it can help ensure you are working in your chosen target zone.
Some days you may "feel" you missed out on working in the target zone you wished to: remember some days feel harder than others.
3. Focus On Your Form. If you are using a cross-trainer machine that simulates stair climbing, walking, or running, or using a treadmill, it may be easy to believe form will take good care of itself.
However, there are many ways people cheat these exercises, using a poor form as they do. For instance...
- are you leaning on the handlebars?
- are you making sure your feet are facing forward with each step you take?
To see great results you need to make sure you check your form.
4. Be Present. Finally, it is essential for you to be present in the moment. It is easy to zone out and watch TV or read a book but typically speaking, if you are zoning out you are not focusing on what you are there to do - workout. Moreover, you are not working as hard as you could be either.
Be present in the moment and feel your body working.
If you do the four above steps, you can be assured you will get more out of each of your cardio workouts and will see the best results.
Although managing Type 2 diabetes can be very challenging, it is not a condition you must just live with. Make simple changes to your daily routine - include exercise to help lower both your blood sugar levels and your weight.
For nearly 25 years Beverleigh Piepers has searched for and found a number of secrets to help you build a healthy body. Go to http://DrugFreeType2Diabetes.com to learn about some of those secrets.
The answer isn't in the endless volumes of available information but in yourself.

You may be familiar with my underwater photography work (http://www.helenecaillaud.com), and probably less my work about high-speed photography. Don't worry about that, this is quite normal, because I only discovered this new activity in September 2012. That's why i decided to dedicate a specific website to this.
This website presents my work in different areas of the high-speed photography : from water drop splashes, smoke photography, to simple life's subjects that I want to share with you today. This site is more generalistic than the one dedicated to underwater photography, and I wish you much pleasure to discover this one, as much as i had to realize it.
You also can follow my work on my Liquid Art Facebook page, and Flickr gallery.
Do not hesitate to contact me on the contact form, to let me know your feedback about this website and the pictures.
I wish you a pleasant visit and hope you will enjoy browsing this Liquid Art photography website.

I've been wondering -- has anyone tried to connect the original video clock to the SuperVidel as per the installation manual? Or even better question: has somebody noticed cases where it was really needed? I must say I haven't used SV *that* much and especially not for watching oldschool games/demos (how many of them work on CT60+VGA?) but I'm tempted to do the mod anyway.
And I'd like to have some game/demo/application where I could observe the effect (and the fix). I'm thinking whether Nature's Willie's adventures isn't one of such cases? ;-)
Correction: it's New Beat's game, not Nature's (but hey, Reeking Rubber should by an obvious candidate, too!)

Made these up with a standard block of halloumi from the supermarket, a packet of smoked pancetta and chives as suggested. A little bit fiddly to assemble, as the pancetta ripped quite easily, but they still looked and tasted fantastic. Easy to make up ahead of time and then bung in the oven to finish off quickly too. Boyfriend was a big fan and will be making again soon.
20th Sep, 2011
I attempted these for a family gathering at the weekend, and it wasn't nearly as easy as it sounds. When I tried to cut the hallloumi into sticks, it crumbled to pieces, and so did the bacon when I tried to stretch it. I ended up with some very tiny ones, and lost patience before I had used all the ingredients. They did taste good though, and all got eaten - if I'd perserved with the rest of it, I think they'd have all gone. I doubt if I'll attempt these again though, unless my gluten free sister is visiting.

The crafts were critical to the needs of the community. Aristocrats may have looked down on craftspersons, but they paid tribute to their necessity (cf. Sir. 38.24–34).
Carpenters or builders constructed the doors and windows of all the houses, manufactured the farm implements (yokes, plows, threshing sledges, and pitchforks; See Agriculture), constructed the carts, and occasionally fashioned a chest or table (See Houses, Furniture, Utensils). No village could function without one. Jesus is described by the Greek word tektōn (Mark 6.3), better understood as a carpenter/builder than a cabinet maker; many of his parables refer to building but none to furniture making. The carpenter's tools included the hammer, adze, ax, plane, bow‐drill, chisel, and saw; see the description of carpentry in Isaiah 44.13–17.
Metal workers labored with copper, bronze, and iron, with the appropriate technologies developed in that order. For village use they shaped the cutting edges of tools. Some metal kitchen utensils, sewing equipment, and musical instruments have been found. Most of the metal was used for weapons. Hiram of Tyre made an amazing list of large items of "burnished bronze" for Solomon's temple (1 Kings 7.40–47). There are descriptions of blacksmithing in Isaiah 44.12 and Sirach 38.28. (See also Kenites.)
Potters produced utensils for storing, cooking, and eating food. Water was carried, stored, and cooled in pots. Lamps, cosmetic jars, votive vessels, and small idols were all made of pottery. A simple potter's wheel came into use about 3000 BCE. A type used later was two wheels joined by an axle. This unit was mounted vertically in a shallow pit. The lower wheel was turned with the foot of the seated potter; the wares were fashioned on the upper wheel (see Sir. 38.29–30). Pottery is the primary indicator for dating in archaeology.
Tanners made leather available for shields, helmets, quivers, and other military articles. It was used also for sandals, shoes, belts, clothing, and storage skins for wine and water. Odors from tanning obliged the tanner to live at the outskirts of the town (Acts 9.43; 10.6, 32).
Jewelers worked with gold and silver. Engravers produced scarabs, signet rings, and seals of various types (see Sir. 38.27). (See Jewelry.)
Stone masons built buildings and excavated spaces in rock. Rough‐cut and dressed stones were used. Palaces incorporated pillars, stone carving, and decorative capitals. Tombs, cisterns, and community water systems required excavation. The latter are extensive and remarkable. Their purpose was to ensure access to the city water supply from within the walls. Large tunnels, pits, and passageways were carved out to achieve this goal. The tools were the hammer, chisel, saw, and adze. Hezekiah's tunnel in Jerusalem has the long sweeping marks of the adze or pick on its walls; other notable water systems are at Gezer, Gibeon, Hazor, and Megiddo.
Carving in ivory and wood produced luxury items. Glassmaking was rare before Roman times. Roman glassmakers introduced a range of delicate bottles and vials previously made of pottery or alabaster.
Fullers kept the clothes white while the dyers added color. Various shades of red, a yellow from ground pomegranate rind, and the famous purple from Tyre were the main colors available. The latter took on royal significance.
The perfumer/cosmetologist was known, and Ben Sira mentions seven types of perfume (Sir. 24.15).

November 4, 2013- HOLLYWOOD- The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce proudly honored the late Janis Joplin, the iconic queen of psychedelic rock, with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame on Monday, November 4, 2013.
Kris Kristofferson performed a special acoustic version of 'Me and Bobby McGee', which Janis famously recorded in 1970.
Joplin's sister Laura Joplin, author of the book 'Love, Janis' and brother Michael Joplin, along with legendary music producer Clive Davis, helped unveil the star in the category of Recording at 6752 Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Musicians Institute.
"I'd like y'all to remember that Janis had a huge heart that she poured into her music but she was someone who knew how to have a good time and I'd like to think that this star allows her legacy to have a new experience just like she had when she was living. And as we like to say in our part of Texas, y'all come on out and say Howdy", said Laura Joplin to the crowd of fans.
"Janis Joplin is an iconic figure and her songs will always be remembered by her fans around the world", said Ana Martinez who produces the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. "Today is Janis Joplin day" said Emcee Leron Gubler who is president and CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.
Kristofferson said: "It's really hard to say much about the stars and how much they mean; she means so much more to me than a star on a sidewalk".
The recent Broadway show, A Night with Janis, which opened to rave reviews on October 10th, 2013 at the Lyceum Theatre in New York and a clothing line, Made For Pearl, has introduced Joplin's iconic music to a whole new generation of fans.
Joplin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 and posthumously given a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005.
Please visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame for more information and to view who shares a star on the famous boardwalk.
