The use of fairly used under wears among men and women in the country is increasing by the day, in spite of the health hazard experts say is associated with it. Our reporter, Evelyn Okoruwa takes a look at why the business is booming
Do you know you could contact sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhoea, syphilis, candidacies and others by wearing fairly used undergarments- if the person that previously used them had these diseases?
A microbiologist, Mr. Ejeh Ehimen, said that fairly used undergarments should be banned as they are dangerous and could harbour harmful germs and diseases that can survive on fabrics for weeks.
Undergarment is any clothe that you wear under other clothes and next to the skin. They keep the outer garments from being soiled by bodily secretion and discharge; they are used by both men and women.
While men's undergarments vary from boxer shorts to singlet or tank top and T-shirts, women's undergarments are collectively called lingerie and they range from corselet, panties, brassiere, camisole, knickers, girdle, night gowns and a lot more.
Investigations revealed that the patronage for fairly used under wears by Nigerians is on the high side and becoming very popular among low income earners. They have actually given the used items different names: it is called "Gbogbo" in Delta State; people from the South- east and the South-west call it "Okirika". It is also generally called "bend down select" in some markets.
Some markets across the country are well known for the sales of these fairly used items. They include the popular Yaba, Katangua and Aswani markets in Lagos, Nyanya and Wuse Markets in Abuja, New Benin Market in Benin City, Igbudu Market in Warri, Kasuwn Barci market in Kaduna and others.
In spite of the health hazards experts said are associated with the use of these garments people have continued to express mixed reactions over the issue. While some people said they would never buy the used undergarments, others said there is nothing wrong with them saying they could actually get more value for their money by buying the materials.
Stella Ubili, a student, sees nothing wrong in patronising these fairly used undergarments as they last longer than the new ones. "I prefer to buy the used underwear because of the quality. The new ones are of inferior quality and they get worn out easily. Also, the used under wears are always unique", Stella told LEADERSHIP.
Justina Mark, living in Abuja, in an interview with LEADERSHIP, also shares the same view with Stella. " Not all the under wears have been used; some of them are brand new. The goods were probably donated by charity organisations but ended up in the hands of businessmen", she said.
"I buy these used undergarments every six months; they last longer than the new ones that cannot even last for a month."
John Michael, a trader who sells fairly used undergarment said he gets patronage from both young girls and women. "I have been in this business for seven years, and I make a lot of profit from it. There is more profit in selling the used undergarment; when I buy a bale of these under wears for N150, 000, I make between N40, 000 to N50, 000 as profit", he said.
Madam Chioma a trader in Port Harcourt who used to sell fairly used materials said she stopped selling it because she didn't like the smell. "I stopped selling fairly used under wears in my shop because it became hazardous to my health; the smell from it is suffocating and does not allow me breath well. I had to stop selling them; I now sell the new ones", she added
For Christian Osugi, a trader at the Nyanya Market in Abuja, her customers are all class of women. According to her, "Some rich women come all the way from town with their cars to buy from me; even some men come here to shop for their wives."
"As you can see, most of the sellers of these second hand garments are men because the business is booming, the women also prefer to patronise the men."
If it is a good business in Nigerians, as claimed by some people, it is not so in some other countries. Recently, fairly used under wears were banned in Zimbabwe. The minister of finance Tendai Biti had said that any self respecting husband should not allow his wife to wear such materials.
"If you are a husband and you see your wife buying underwear from the market, you would have failed. If I were your in-law, I would take my daughter and urge you to first put your house in order if you still want her back", the minister had said.
Apart from the strong smell that comes out from these used goods, medical experts have kicked against the use of the materials. Ehimen, a microbiologist wants used undergarments banned as they are dangerous and could harbour harmful germs and diseases than can survive on fabrics for weeks.
"In my opinion, used undergarments should not be allowed into the country because sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhoea, syphilis, candidacies and even HIV to certain extend can be contacted from these fairly used undergarments if the person that previously used them had these diseases", the expert said.
But Dr. John Dajwe, a community physician, warned against banning the materials because of the poor in the society-who cannot afford the new ones but instead said awareness, should be created on washing the materials with disinfectants and detergents before using them. "People should avoid testing such goods until they have been properly washed and disinfected and if possible ironed", the medical doctor advised.

The Paleo lifestyle grows out of the belief that we were intended to eat off the land: what walks on it, grows from it, or swims in its waters. It's about sticking to the kinds of foods that human beings were born to ingest (meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, roots, and nuts), and excluding those that were developed later (grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils).

She shows that Paleo isn't just a lifestyle for "cavemen"—it's a healthy way for anyone to eat. There are simple ways to incorporate this ancestral diet into today's busy modern lifestyle, whether you're cooking for yourself or even for a larger family.

'Let us all Unite'
'I'm Sorry...I don't want to be an Emperor, that's not my business, I do not want to rule or conquer anyone. I would like to help everyone if possible, Jew, Gentile, Black man, white...we all want to help one another, human beings are like that, we want to live by each others happiness not by each others misery, we do not want to hate or despise one another.
In this world there is room for everyone and the good Earth is rich, and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way, greed has poisoned men's souls. Has barricaded the world with hate, has goose stepped us into misery and bloodshed, we have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that has given us abundance have left us in want, our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little.
More the machinery, do we need humanity, more than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio has brought us closer together, the very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching thousands through out the world, thousands of despairing men, women and children, victims of a system that makes men torture, and imprison innocent people.
Those who can hear me, I say "Do not despair", for the misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men that fear human progress, the hate of men will pass and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people, and so long as men die liberty will never perish.
Soldiers! don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and slave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel, Men who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men with machine minds and machine hearts. You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are Men! You have the love of humanity in you hearts, you do not hate, only the unloved hate. The unloved and the unnatural, Soldiers! don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty...In the seventeenth chapter of St.Lucas is written, the kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men but in you! You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness, you the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful. To make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy let us all unite.
Let us fight for a new world, a decent world, that will give men the chance to work, will give you the future and security, by the promise of these things brutes have risen to power, but they lie, they do not fulfil that promise, they never will.
Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people. So now let us fight to fulfil that promise, let us fight to free the world. To do away with national values, do do away with greed with hate and intolerance.
...Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all mens happiness.
In the name of democracy let us all Unite.'

Clearwater Police Release Sketch of Bank Bandit
The suspect is alleged to have robbed four banks, including three PNC Bank branches in Clearwater and Largo as well as a credit union in New Port Richey, according to Clearwater Police.
The man walks in, typically wearing a black cap.
Each time, he pulls out a silver handgun and demands money from the bank teller.
In one incident, he was seen leaving in what appeared to be a red, four-door, Ford Focus, according to Clearwater Police.
It has happened four times already, and on Monday investigators released a sketch of the suspect in an attempt to identify the man who they say has robbed two PNC Banks in Clearwater, a branch in Largo and a credit union in New Port Richey in a little less than two months.
The man is described as white, 25 to 35 years old, about 5-foot-8 with a thin build and short brown hair, according to police.
A $25,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. The reward was increased from $10,000 after the Largo robbery June 8.
Here is a list of the incidents:
- May 26 at PNC Bank, 2498 Gulf to Bay Blvd., Clearwater
- June 8 at PNC Bank in Largo
- June 19 at PNC Bank, 2575 Countryside Blvd., Clearwater
- July 3 at Florida Central Credit Union in New Port Richey
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Clearwater Police Tip Line at 727-562-4422 or send an anonymous text to 847411. Anonymous web tips can also be sent to the Clearwater Police website or Facebook page.

Qualcomm is manufacturing ARM chips found in many cell phones, however the company is struggling to deliver as much chips as expected by its customers. The company has then decided to extend the number of founders in charge of producing its chips, and have announced that UMTC and Samsung will produce 28 nm engraved chips.
The information is rather interesting. Indeed, it indicates that Samsung can now produce chips with such thin engraving. So if we consider that Samsung manufactures Apple Ax chips, we can expect the next generation iPhone to have a 28 nm engraved A5X or A6. So Apple could increase performance and frequency while preserving power consumption and heat release, something critical as the migration to 4G drains a lot of energy.

Jammie Dodger dressed fraudster Paul Richardson jailed following Help for Heroes swindle
9:26am Thursday 21st February 2013 in News
A FRAUDSTER, who recruited two unsuspecting children in a scam to swindle racegoers into handing over cash for Help for Heroes, has been jailed.
Paul Richardson was found guilty at a trial earlier this month of holding a bogus bucket collection at Haydock Park last summer.
Dressed as a Jammie Dodger, he had persuaded the two teenagers to dress up in their army cadet uniforms and station themselves at certain points in the racecourse for two sessions.
They returned later that day to capitalise from a crowd watching the pop group Steps. However, despite raising £650, he kept the money for himself and hadn't even registered with the charity to collect on their behalf.
The 53-year-old had mop buckets decorated with copies of Help for Heroes stickers, with his solicitor Andrew Stock describing his "endeavour" as "somewhat amateurish".
The scam came to light, when the children's grandfather, who believed it was a legitimate venture, raised objections because they hadn't been paid.
Mr Stock said Richardson is currently facing the end of a 25-year-long marriage, adding: "There are issues with his communication skills and understanding of the position he finds himself in."
Richardson, from Lincoln Drive in Ashton-in-Makerfield, had admitted collecting the money during a short trial at St Helens Magistrates' Court earlier this month. However he claimed that he was going to hand the money over, despite registering with the charity only when his motives were questioned.
Looking visibly shocked as he was sentenced to four months, magistrates told him: "There are a number of factors that cause us concern.
"There was quite a large element of planning and it was relatively sophisticated. And the fact that you involved two children.
"The offence involved not just one but two sessions in a specific high traffic area where there were a high number of individuals."
They stressed that such swindles have a direct effect on public perception.
Richardson was told he must serve at least half his sentence before he is released on licence.

Metronode opens power-efficient Vic data centre
- 01 August, 2012 11:17
- Comments
Metronode has emphasised the energy efficiency of its new centre, opened today in Derrimut, Victoria.
The data centre has a Power Utilisation Efficiency (PUE) of less than 1.2. Traditional data centres can run 2.2 or higher, said Leighton Telecom executive general manager, Peter McGrath.
The facility has direct free air cooling and modular plant systems, as well as on-site rain water retention and harvesting and intelligent site monitoring, Metronode said. The facility "provides a 90 per cent real reduction in power required for cooling," McGrath said. "These significant energy savings are then passed on to our customers and the end user."
The data centre site is more than 25,000 square metres and can support up to 12MW of IT load with more than 3,000 equipment racks. The project is "one of many" Leighton has answer to "market demand from large carriers, enterprise and government customers for high end infrastructure based services and mission critical applications," McGrath said.
Metronode has existing data centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. The company plans to open energy-efficient facilities in the Illawarra region, Sydney and Perth, it said.

News Corp. issued a $1 billion debt offering Tuesday. The 10-year notes were sold through News America, the media giant's U.S. unit.
The 3 percent notes are due in 10 years and will be used to cover debt that comes due in 2013 and 2014.
News Corp., like other media conglomerates, is issuing debt so it can take advantage of lower interest rates. Time Warner, for instance, issued its own $1 billion debt offering last summer.

The closing of News Corp.'s offering is expected to take place on Sept. 14.
News America will receive gross proceeds of $992.9 million from this offering and expects to
use the net proceeds for "general corporate purposes."

Wang Y, et al. (2005) Subunit a of the yeast V-ATPase participates in binding of bafilomycin. J Biol Chem 280(49):40481-8
Abstract: Bafilomycin and concanamycin are potent and highly specific inhibitors of the vacuolar (H(+))-ATPases (V-ATPases), typically inhibiting at nanomolar concentrations. Previous studies have shown that subunit c of the integral V(0) domain participates in bafilomycin binding, and that this site resembles the oligomycin binding site of the F-ATPase (Bowman, B. J., and Bowman, E. J. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 3965-3972). Because mutations in F-ATPase subunit a also confer resistance to oligomycin, we investigated whether the a subunit of the V-ATPase might participate in binding bafilomycin. Twenty-eight subunit a mutations were constructed just N-terminal to the critical Arg(735) residue in transmembrane 7 required for proton transport, a region similar to that shown to participate in oligomycin binding by the F-ATPase. The mutants appeared to assemble normally and all but two showed normal growth at pH 7.5, whereas all but three had at least 25% of wild-type levels of proton transport and ATPase activity. Of the functional mutants, three displayed K(i) values for bafilomycin significantly different from wild-type (0.22 +/- 0.03 nm). These included E721K (K(i) 0.38 +/- 0.03 nm), L724A (0.40 +/- 0.02 nm), and N725F (0.54 +/- 0.06 nm). Only the N725F mutation displayed a K(i) for concanamycin (0.84 +/- 0.04 nm) that was slightly higher than wild-type (0.60 +/- 0.07 nm). These results suggest that subunit a of V-ATPase participates along with subunit c in binding bafilomycin.

Join Ron Hood as he travels to Romania on a quest for Bronze...
Bronze is one of the cornerstones of civilization. Ancient metalworkers learned to manufacture this metal around a simple campfire. The skills they discovered and the techniques they uncovered are all explored as Ron takes you on a tour of Romania's historical artifacts and treasures.
You will see the process as copies of some of these ancient artifacts are made for later casting into bronze.
In this DVD you will learn, upclose, the basics of modeling, copying, mold making, casting and aging of bronze. Watch Ron get his face cast into a bronze life mask from start to finish.
This DVD does not include instructions for constructiong your own foundry. But it does teach you, up close, all about preparing and casting of Bronze as you watch and learn.
This DVD is about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Note from Ron about this DVD:
When Karen and I talk about "survival" it is not just a concept related to the wilds. It covers every aspect of living from primitive to modern, from barter to economics. This video is related to barter and economics.
When we produced the "Knife making" video we brought into being a whole new generation of custom and private knife makers. There are literally dozens of people who now augment their income through metal working and knife making. Since then we have had many people request more videos on skills.
Bronze is one of the cornerstones of technology. Without it we would not be where we are. It is also an artists ultimate medium. Add to this the fact that it is beautiful, doable and salable and we have a recipe for financial augmentation as well as a way to express an artistic bent and make everyday durable and practical items.
I told this story somewhere on our forum....
When I returned from my first trip to Romania, Karen and I were walking in one of the "art walks" we have here in Coeur D'Alene and I spied a bronze "life mask" (Some also call them death masks). I asked the artist how much he wanted for for it ... "$2,500 for this one and I can do your face for $3,500".
I walked away grumbling. Later when we walked past the booth again, the mask was gone, sold.
In this video you will see how to make a lifemask. You will also learn how to make Bronze tools and much more. You do the math. If you can sell, if you can carve wax or clay into something artistic, you can make money with this skill. You can even do something simple like we have done, make bronze house numbers. You can cast bronze model cars or planes for collectors, make copies of antique items, decorative Bronze mirrors.... You figure it out.
This video is the skill set you need to copy and cast along with the story that led up to what you will see, both personal and historical.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Two of Neil Olshey's biggest off-season moves are paying off in a big way for the Portland Trail Blazers.
Batum tied a career high with 35 points, Lillard sparked a late comeback and the Blazers beat the Houston Rockets 119-117 in overtime Friday night.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 29 points for Portland, including a tiebreaking free throw and key turnaround jumper in the extra session. Lillard scored 16 of the Trail Blazers' last 21 points and finished with a career-high 27.
"He played great," Aldridge said of Lillard, the 6-foot-3 point guard who was the sixth overall pick in this year's draft out of Weber State. "He had ice in his veins. Took big shots, made big shots."
Olshey became Portland's general manager in June. He drafted Lillard and Illinois big man Meyers Leonard in the first round, then re-signed the talented but inconsistent Batum to a $44 million contract.
Batum is averaging 20.8 points and 6.3 rebounds and is shooting 48 per cent from the field. Lillard is averaging 19.3 points, 6.4 assists and looks like a candidate for NBA Rookie of the Year.
James Harden had 29 points for the Rockets, who led by as many as 15 before falling behind in the final quarter. Chandler Parsons added 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Portland won its second consecutive game while narrowly avoiding a fourth straight loss at the Rose Garden.
"One thing that has been evident with our team is that we compete until the end," Portland coach Terry Stotts said. "For a long stretch of the game it wasn't going how we wanted it, but when it mattered, we played pretty well."
Lillard made a tying 3-pointer with 3:25 left in overtime. After Omer Asik hit two foul shots for Houston, Lillard connected on another jumper to tie it at 116.
Houston committed a turnover on the other end and Aldridge went 1 for 2 at the line before making a turnaround jumper to extend the lead to 119-116 with 36.8 seconds left.
Harden made a free throw with 1.4 seconds to go but Houston couldn't corral his intentional miss, and the game ended.
"Sometimes you have to tip your hat and say, 'Batum, those are great shots,' and 'Lillard, those are great shots."' said Kelvin Sampson, who is coaching Houston while Kevin McHale is away from the team to tend to a personal matter.
The Rockets were kicking off a three-game West Coast road swing after going 2-1 at home despite some off-the-court distractions.
McHale has been away since Saturday. Royce White, a first-round draft pick, is feuding with the team over how it has accommodated his anxiety disorder, and is not with the team either.
The Blazers, who snapped a four-game losing streak with a 103-86 victory over Sacramento on Wednesday, leaned heavily on Batum's outside shooting and Aldridge under the basket until Lillard took over with 4:29 left in regulation and Portland trailing 103-98. The 6-foot-3 point guard hit six free throws, a 3-pointer, a driving layup and then put the Blazers up 111-108 with a jumper after faking Jeremy Lin up in the air.
Marcus Morris then nailed a 3-pointer for Houston with 10 seconds left to send the game to overtime.
The Blazers have struggled defensively all season, allowing 100 points or more in six of their first nine games. They entered having allowed opponents to shoot 49.6 per cent.
Mindful of Portland's defensive deficiencies, the Rockets pushed the ball in transition. The Rockets had a 17-1 fast-break point advantage in the first half and they shot 55 per cent before the break.
Houston led 51-35 in the first half and was up 13 in third quarter. But Batum scored 14 points in the period, including nine in a row.
"He had serious momentum going with him, and everything he was throwing up was going in," Parsons said. "If we look back at the film, that was pretty good 'D.' That's just how it goes sometimes."
NOTES: Portland beat the Rockets 95-85 in overtime on Nov. 3 in Houston. Aldridge had 27 points and 11 rebounds in that game. ... Harden is averaging 32.3 points in four road games this season. . Batum had 35 points against San Antonio on Nov. 10. Originally credited with 33, he was later awarded a basket, which had been given to Wesley Matthews.

Over the last few years, Island Trees has encouraged our students to take Advanced Placement (AP) courses. These are the most rigorous classes offered in our school district and the ones colleges covet the most. Happily, we have had many students take up the challenge and succeed. As a result, these students have placed themselves in a very advantageous position in the college selection process.
Recently, I have been asked questions like this one: "My child is an average/good student and hopes to gain admittance to a competitive college, but AP classes are too challenging for her. If this is the case, what kind of high school program should my daughter take?"
In this situation, our guidance department would create an "Advanced Regents" diploma schedule for your child. This is a step up from the typical high school diploma now called the "Regents Diploma" (New York State Education Department has engaged in a little word play. Years ago, students graduated high school with either a high school diploma or a Regents diploma. The new "Advanced Regents" diploma is really what was once called the "Regents" diploma and the new "Regents" diploma is more in line with the old high school diploma (though a little more challenging).
An "Advanced Regents" diploma requires students to pass the following eight Regents exams: English; Global History; U.S. History; Science (2) (Life science and Physical science); Math (3) (Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra 2/Trig); and a foreign language requirement. The "Regents" diploma requires five passed exams: English; Global History; U.S. History; Science (1); and, Algebra. Competitive colleges desire students who take an academically oriented high school program.
Therefore, it is important for students to include core curriculum classes into their annual schedules – the "Advanced Regents" sequence is the recommended program to accomplish this goal. Unfortunately, students who avoid the more rigorous math and science sequences will find themselves coming up short in the college admissions process. If you have any questions about this, please contact Mr. Grande or your child's guidance counselor.

Island Trees Union Free School District faces a few hurdles in its upcoming 2013-14 budget. The loss of the BOCES Geneva N. Gallow building lease and the increasing mandated retirement system (TRS/ERS) adds up to $2 million in lost revenue. The TRS/ERS contributions increased by almost $1.4 million, and the Gallow lease loss totals approximately $500,000, including the utility costs.

What motivates a collector to dedicate a portion of his or her life to searching for the most rare and beautiful forms of a certain item? Is it their love of stamps from all over the world or is it their desire to find the most complex and unique model of a car? From jewelry and dolls to sports memorabilia and computers, a collector's interests can range from the most bizarre items to the most common. Michael Katz, longtime collector of vintage radios from the 1920s to '50s, said that the two kinds of things collectors go for are "stuff that's really unusual and really decorative or the rare and expensive sets."

Jerusalem Maiden
by Talia Carner
I very much enjoyed this book. Although a bit heavy with Jewish tradition and language in the beginning, the book read very well. This is will be a great discussion book for our book club. A young Jewish maiden, struggles with her God given artistic talent and with the Jewish tradition of arranged marriage. I would recommend.

An informal live show with Ginger (still sounding great on his 70th birthday, Chris Goss (guitar), Abbas Dodoo (percussion), Pete King (alto sax) and Jonas Hellborg (bass).
"Where as many Voiceprint releases are only legal 'bootlegs' with medium soundquality this is an absolutely pro product. Clear multitrack sound! The concert was held to celebrate Ginger's 70 year birthday- quite a miraculous event considering his life style - and cast a stellar band with Chris Goss (Masters Of Reality)and bass virtuoso Jonas Hellborg. The repertoire is kind of a historic trip through G.B.'s illustrious career. Be-bop with Thelonious Monk and "Bemsha Swing" with a brilliant Hellborg solo. Cream: a rather short run through of "Sweet Wine" with some less than stellar vocals from Goss and Baker's daughter Leda, "Iko Beiya" from Airforce. The playing is rather tight for an ad hoc band and it's a great pleasure to hear Jonas H. play some straight rock and blues."-Bodhi Heeren

Recently i've been struggling to find a simple piece of software to convert my films, so my iphone will play them. I came upon this software just by searching and i must say it is incredibly easy to use. Pick the video, click convert done…… really is that simple. Also you can download another add on for it which allows you to download youtube video's as just an .mp3 file. This is excellent for music, all you do is cut and paste the link of the video into the program, click download and its done.
Unfortunately its windows only at the minute, i am hoping we will see a mac equivalent,

Hi all
When acegi redirects a user to the login page upon httpsession expiry, i'd like to display a 'session expired' message, so they know why they are now at the login page
is there a point somewhere where i can trap the 'session has expired' event and maybe set a request attribute or request http param immediately before the user is directed to the login page?
i'm guessing this is a fairly common requirement. what are the general best practices for implementing "your session has expired. please login again" functionality?

WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reminds its customers that the fee for an Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility (Form I-601) is always required. USCIS has received numerous applications filed without the appropriate fee due to an incorrect interpretation of the regulations.
The authority to waive or exempt payment of the $545 fee as discussed in the Code of Federal Regulations 8 CFR 245.1(f) cites an October 1977 law that applied only to applications from certain Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian parolees filed by October 28, 1983.
USCIS routinely reviews its fee waiver and exemption policy to ensure that it is not only fair to all applicants, but also reasonable to administer. Detailed guidance on the agency's policy, including for which forms a fee waiver may be considered, is available on the USCIS Web site at www.uscis.gov/feewaiver.
Applicants who have a specific question about fee waivers or exemption on the Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility (Form I-601) should call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283 (TTY 1-800-767-1833).

Multisession Workstations
The Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) has been around for years now, and it gets better with each new release. In the beginning, it was targeted at providing schools with a means to use low-cost computers as Linux terminal clients. It was a huge success; so much so, that LTSP now is included in several Linux distros, such as Edubuntu, as a regular package.
LTSP lets you tailor it to deliver multiple OS desktops to every workstation on the LAN, using just PXE-bootable desktops or thin clients. With this type of setup, users simply have to press Ctrl-Alt-Fn to access different desktops. The following shows an example menu you could present to LTSP users:
Ctrl-Alt-F1: Linux shell.
Ctrl-Alt-F2: Windows desktop for Internet browsing and e-mail.
Ctrl-Alt-F3: Ubuntu with development tools.
Ctrl-Alt-F4: Mac OS for graphics work.
Ctrl-Alt-F5: Remote Citrix access for corporate ERP and CRM.
To set up an environment that supports the above options, the following steps are required:
Set up an LTSP environment.
Install the required client connection tools.
Create scripts to use the client connections.
Configure LTSP files to enable one or several screens to use the new client connection.
The first step is installing the LTSP packages on the Linux distro of your choice. Many recent distro releases have ready-to-install LTSP packages available in their repositories, so you probably can use your favorite package manager out of the box. This way, you should have your LTSP server up and running in a matter of minutes. On Ubuntu use:
$ sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone $ sudo ltsp-build-client
For detailed install instructions for other distros, check the LTSP Web site (see Resources).
For an easy out-of-the-box experience, download and boot from an Ubuntu Alternate CD, press F4, and choose Install an LTSP server (Figure 1).
From there, you install Ubuntu as usual. The only difference is that near the end of the install, you will see a warning about a second Ethernet card (Figure 2).
The error occurs because the installer defaults to using a second Ethernet card dedicated to boot terminals. You may use this setting if you like, but if you already have a DHCP server in your environment, you can use it.
Once you finish the LTSP install, log on to your server and build the LTSP image with the following command:
$ sudo ltsp-build-client
This takes a couple minutes. While it builds, you will see a text progress bar—get used to it, because you will need to rebuild this image several times.
If you are lucky and your DHCP server is a nice Linux box, edit your /etc/dhcpd.conf file to point your network boot options to the LTSP box. Add the following lines, and restart the DHCP service afterward:
option tftp-server-name "mynew.ltsp.server"; option bootfile-name "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
If you're unlucky and you have to set this up with a Windows server, as an administrator, open the DHCP configuration screen and add the configuration options below:
017 Root Path: /opt/ltsp/i386 066 Boot Server Host Name: <LTSP Server ip address> 067 Bootfile Name: ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
In addition, most Linux/BSD-based firewall software appliances, such as pfsense and endianFW, have options for this on their DHCP configuration screens.
If everything goes well, your LTSP environment is ready to boot network clients. Reboot one of your desktops and select network boot. You should see your desktop receive an IP address from your DHCP server, a large stream of dots when the boot image downloads from the TFTP server and then a regular boot splash screen from your distro. Then finally, your LTSP session will start (Figure 3).
You're now about a third of the way there. Next, let's go to the core of multisession setup and start installing the connection tools you'll need to connect to other types of sessions.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

LG paired its fiercest smartphone with Red Bull Crashed Ice in Niagara Falls
TORONTO, Dec. 4, 2012 /CNW/ - While ice-hockey aces hurtled down the track at the Niagara Falls stop of the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Series, attendees also enjoyed screaming speeds off the track with the newest LG smartphone, the LG Optimus G.
LG jumped on board as a sponsor for the Niagara Falls stop of the tour from November 30 to December 1, 2012. The company brought the best viewing screens, an opportunity for fans to check-out the Optimus G, and integrated the device into the event as the ticket scanner for all gated areas.
"Participating in Red Bull Crashed Ice was a natural fit for LG," said Mallika Kazim, director, brand marketing, LG Canada. "With its quad-core processor and LTE functionality, the Optimus G is dynamic and exciting, just like Crashed Ice."
The LG Station was a mobile demonstration area housed in an LG-branded pop-out trailer. It was located at the base of the track and offered attendees the ability to experience all the Optimus G has to offer through an interactive display. Approximately 40 000 event attendees had a chance to get hands-on with the Optimus G.
About LG Optimus G
Along with speed and power, the Optimus G offers elegant design and a host of innovative features including:
- QuickMemo - jot and save notes from any screen (e.g. phone numbers or directions)
- QSlide - use the video player and other applications simultaneously by adjusting the screen transparency
- Live Zooming - five times zoom on downloaded videos - see those little details more clearly
- Time Catch Shot - snap shots before and after the shutter is pressed to always catch the shot
- Dual Screen Dual Play - mirror media content from your phone to a TV screen and lets you use other apps at the same time
The LG Optimus G launched in November and is available through a wide range of carriers and retailers across Canada.
Red Bull Crashed Ice combines hockey, boarder-cross and downhill skiing in a high-velocity race to the bottom of a downhill ice track featuring massive jumps, gaping drops and hairpin turns.
The tour stopped in Niagara Falls for the first-time with the finale slated for Quebec City on March 16, 2013.
