Who is she?
Bubbly, curious, adaptable and mobile, Hodel needs to exert herself physically otherwise her nervousness can quickly become overwhelming. Impatient, swift and reactive, she likes to get on with things and if this isn´t possible she can be quite irritable and quick-tempered. She is a truly independent woman and her freedom is sacred to her, so she doesn´t tolerate restriction very well. Distinguished and conscious of the effect that she has on others, she presents herself as an example and is concerned about the opinion that others may have of her. Her apparent ease at making friends and her gift for expression could be disconcerting for those around her. One could be forgiven for thinking that she is shallow - however nothing could be further from the truth! Underneath the cheerful and light-hearted exterior she is a modest, sober and profound woman who prefers to keep her problems to herself. Authoritarian and determined, but also anxious; she takes her responsibilities seriously. Of a nervous temperament, she doesn´t know what it´s like to be inactive and is always busy with something. She is attracted to adventure and rarely passes up an opportunity to travel and discover a new elsewhere. As a child, she worries a lot and needs plenty of reassurance; her parents should make sure that she is aware of her inherent worth, because she lacks confidence in herself. Furthermore, she can just as easily be unstable and undisciplined as well-behaved and wise. It all depends on her upbringing and the moment in question. Her parents should teach her the notion of limits while being careful to respect her independent spirit. This will allow trust to bloom and Hodel will blossom as a human being. There is no need to be strict with her, in fact such an attitude would be quite counterproductive and could lead to her becoming emotionally inhibited as an adult.
What does she like?
She appreciates order and cleanliness, craves stability and security, and is very attached to social and traditional values. A bit of a snob, she has great expectations of a potential partner; but when she falls in love, it will be forever. She will be charming, seductive and a wonderful hostess who has a profound sense of responsibility...

What does she do?
Because she seeks security above all else, a career as a civil servant could be a suitable choice. Otherwise, she could find satisfaction through one of the liberal professions (especially if she has a life Path Number of 1 or if she was born on the 1st, 10th, 19th or 28th of the month), or in connection with expensive objects (jewellery, furs and skins...), or with fashion. Occupations related to nature, the land, and possibly the natural sciences could equally be possible choices (chemistry, mathematics, dietetics...).

Techies can view a video that steps through antibody profiling by LIPS (the process developed by Dr. Peter Burbelo and his team, used in this study). The CFS subjects were selected based on the 1994 Fukuda definition.]
Human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) and human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) are associated with a variety of conditions including rash, fever, and encephalitis and may play a role in several neurological diseases.
Here luciferase immunoprecipitation systems (LIPS) was used to develop HHV-6 serologic diagnostic tests using antigens encoded by the U11 gene from HHV-6A (p100) and HHV-6B (p101). Analysis of the antibody responses against Renilla luciferase fusions with different HHV-6B p101 fragments identified an antigenic fragment (amino acids 389 to 858) that demonstrated about 86% seropositivity in serum samples from healthy US blood donors.

Additional experiments detected a HHV-6A antigenic fragment (amino acids 751-870) that showed about 48% antibody seropositivity in samples from Mali, Africa, a known HHV-6A endemic region.
In contrast to the high levels of HHV-6A immunoreactivity seen in the African samples, testing of US blood donors with the HHV-6A p100 antigenic fragment revealed little immunoreactivity. To potentially explore the role of HHV-6 infection in human disease, a blinded cohort of controls (n=59) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients (n=72) from the US was examined for serum antibodies.
While only a few of the controls and CFS patients showed high level immunoreactivity with HHV-6A, a majority of both the controls and CFS patients showed significant immunoreactivity with HHV-6B.
However, no statistically significant differences in antibody levels or frequency of HHV-6A or HHV-6B infection were detected between the controls and CFS patients. These findings highlight the utility of LIPS for exploring the seroepidemiology of HHV-6A and HHV-6B infection, but suggest that these viruses are unlikely to play a role in the pathogenesis of CFS.

New Regulations Automate Burial Payments for Veterans' Survivors
New burial regulations effective today will now allow the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to automatically pay the maximum amount allowable under law to most eligible surviving spouses more quickly and efficiently, without the need for a written application.
Under former regulations, VA paid burial benefits on a reimbursement basis, which required survivors to submit receipts for relatively small one-time payments that VA generally paid at the maximum amount permitted by law.
"VA is committed to improving the speed and ease of delivery of monetary burial benefits to Veterans' survivors during their time of need," said Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson. "The recent changes allow VA to help these survivors bear the cost of funerals by changing regulations to get them the benefits more quickly."
This automation enables VA to pay a non-service-connected or service-connected burial allowance to an estimated 62,000 eligible surviving spouses out of a projected 140,000 claimants for burial benefits in 2014. Surviving spouses will be paid upon notice of the Veteran's death using information already in VA systems. The burial allowance for a non-service-connected death is $300, and $2,000 for a death connected to military service.
This revised regulation will further expedite the delivery of these benefits to surviving spouses, reduce the volume of claims requiring manual processing, and potentially make available resources for other activities that benefit Veterans and their survivors.

Encyclopaedia of Islam, First Edition (1913-1936) Related publications
The Encyclopaedia of Islam First Edition Online (EI1) was originally published in print between 1913 and 1936. The demand for an encyclopaedic work on Islam was created by the increasing (colonial) interest in Muslims and Islamic cultures during the nineteenth century. The scope of the Encyclopedia of Islam First Edition Online is philology, history, theology and law until early 20th century. Such famous scholars as Houtsma, Wensinck, Gibb, Snouck Hurgronje, and Lévi-Provençal were involved in this scholarly endeavor. The Encyclopedia of Islam First Edition Online offers access to 9,000 articles.

- Preliminary material (Forthcoming)
The increasing interest in Islam and Islamic culture during the last century and the early part of this century created a demand for an encyclopedic work on Islam. For the first time in history a truly international team of scholars began work on a single project. This resulted in the Encyclopaedia of Islam: A Dictionary of the Geography, Ethnography and Biography of the Muhammadan Peoples, which was published between 1913 and 1936 in three editions in English, German and French. The Encyclopaedia of Islam remains to this day the only complete encyclopedic work on Islam.
Due to their tremendous success these editions soon went out of print and became valuable collectors' items. Some years later we decided to start a New Edition*. Volume 1 appeared in 1960, and we are now halfway to completion. In view of the broad scope of the New Edition and the many years still needed to complete it, we have decided to make the First Edition available again through the present facsimile edition in order to meet the immediate needs of scholars, students of Islam, librarians, and even governments, in fact of anyone interested in Islam and its rich culture. This reprint is designed to fill a gap. It is a true mine of information, much of which is not yet available in the New Edition. The value of the First Edition (as well as of the New Edition) is recognized world-wide and remains undisputed. In more than 9,000 alphabetically arranged articles, varying in length from 50 to 50,000 words, the whole range of Islamic culture, from religion and literature to the lives of famous Muslims, is treated by some of the world's most famous scholars of the twentieth century.

I try to be a good person on the daily. When I'm going into the coffee shop, I always hold the door for the person behind me. I smile at strangers. I smile at cute babies…and even more at cute doggies. I give people the benefit of the doubt. I call my mama on the regular. I try to tell the truth even when it sucks. I eat my vegetables and I like it.
So, if all that doesn't work and I'm sent to hell at the end, I guarantee it'll look like a mall on Black Friday. There will be people and shopping carts everywhere. Babies will be crying (because they know what's up!). There might even be a few lil' people toppling over each other fighting over some game console I've never heard of. People will be outside in tents camping to get the best deal on a TV. It will look a lot like the weekend of Thanksgiving. That's what my hell is.
My idea of heaven is cooking soup in colorful socks. What? Yes. Maybe even Vince Guaraldi's A Charlie Brown Christmas will be blaring in the background. Cooking soup and making snacks! It's my favorite pastime. This lil' tartine is a perfect snack/breakfast/lunch meal.

Introduction / HistoryThe Hajams or Hajjams are also known as the Nai Muslims or Turuk Navid in India. There is a long-standing tradition of the Hajam being hair-cutters, barbers and manicurist. The Hajams are found in nearly every part of India and most of Pakistan. In Nepal they can be found in almost any part of the Terai region.
What are their lives like?The Hajam remains a respected caste of hair-cutters (hajamat). In some areas the Hajams are the owners of barber shops and salons. In the Muslim community they can often be an active part of the community as hair-trimming for major family events like weddings and funerals can involve them. Even minor ritual surgeries like circumcision can be conducted by some Hajam. In some communities they can also be match-makers and some women assist with childbirth. Though they are Sunni Muslims, married women will often be distinguished by a nose-stud and the "bindi" dot on the forehead. They are not vegetarian and will eat beef with their rice, wheat or maize. In Nepal they speak Nepali as well as Bhojpuri, Urdu as well as Maithili.
What are their needs?There is a little to no ministry among the Hajams although they are a fairly large Muslim group in Nepal. Even though their community can be slow to adopt new medicine and technology this group remains a strategic people to reach with the Gospel as they have far-reaching connection into the Muslim community socially.

I mean The Saga of the Birthday Cake That Wouldn't Be.
As in saga: "The texts are epic tales in prose ...of heroic deeds of days long gone, "tales of worthy men,". The tales are usually realistic,... They are sometimes romanticised and fantastic, but always dealing with human beings one can understand." (wiki)
So sit back around your monitor and listen to a woeful (but ultimately triumphant) tale of a (worthy) woman alone against 6 towering tiers of cake, a battalion of cake balls and one final two tiered beast with fangs and flags a-waving.
I can't keep that up.
But it is saga-ish. Saga-riffic? Sagalicious?
Meh. It's long.
(But bear in mind, if you are sensitive to graphic scenes of baking disasters, stop now, for once you embark there is no turning back...)
So I meant to make a 6 layered rainbow cake, in fact, I coaxed my daughter into a rainbow tiger birthday (I posted yesterday about how this was all supposed to go) so I could make The Cake.
Things started out well enough.
I made the 6 rainbow layers using 8" cake pans and approximately 2 1/4c. of batter for each layer, dyed with Wilton cake dyes (1 tsp.-ish).
Like this:
Now, I am crafty, but not much of a hand in the kitchen, I'll admit.
I started stacking cool cakes, using a skiff of icing to seal in the crumbs, but the cracks started in the foundation. The purple layer wasn't centered and the blue layer was considerably smaller.
The green layer was literally cracked and I clearly did a poor job of leveling it off for stacking.
I lost a retaining wall soon after.
Three cans of icing down on this baby so far (perhaps my fatal error?! we may never know...).
But I had a bad feeling about this (me too, Shaggy!).
Somewhere in the next two hours, things went horribly, irreversibly wrong.
We'll never know what happened in the fridge, in the dark (assuming the light really does shut off when you close the door!) that day.
But we opened the door to this.... (please take the children from the room!)
I shut the door, horrified.
And then, opened it slowly....
So much worse.
We now had floor cake.
(And a very happy 4 lb. dog intent on eating his weight in cake carnage!)
It was 4:45 on Friday afternoon.
Party scheduled for Saturday at 1 pm.
I was chastened in my attempts to be a hero.
One compatriot said I should have settled for rainbow icing, instead of trying for the whole rainbow.
I had flown too close to the sun on my wings of wax....
Would we eat cake? Would our heroine (that's me) give in to the pressure to buy a cake at the 24 hour grocery store? Stay tuned for the next gripping chapter.
...to be continued....

Oh no!! I can't wait to hear how this ends!
It took me an entire afternoon to do a rainbow cake but it turned out beautiful (don't hit me).
You need to make sure the layers are level. I got a cake leveler at walmart for around $4 and it was worth every penny.
And I recommend not using canned frosting. It's just too gooey to make a cake with several layers stay together. Real buttercream (or you can use shortening if you like greasy/super sweet) frosting is easy to make and like cement if you add enough sugar to it.

I recently made a layer cake. I think the key is to freeze it. It's much easier to level and frost if it is frozen. If you want to give it a try again you can visit my blog for a few pointers (http://btanders.blogspot.com)

The trouble started shortly after West Hartford restaurateur Christiane Gehami left the witness stand.
Internet posts at the end of news stories about her testimony in the trial of triple-murderer Steven Hayes urged a boycott of Gehami's restaurant. There were harassing telephone calls. A threatening e-mail that she received was so frightening, she said, that she called police.
Gehami had an unenviable role in Hayes' trial: testifying for the defense of a man facing the death penalty for one of the state's most brutal crimes in recent history. The highly publicized home-invasion killings of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters, Hayley and Michaela Petit, have stirred widespread outrage and reignited the debate about capital punishment in Connecticut.
A court-ordered subpoena forced Gehami to the witness stand Oct. 18, the first day of the penalty phase in Hayes' trial. Testimony will resume this morning at Superior Court in New Haven.
"I wondered how they were going to use me to try to show a shred of humanity in this monster to keep him from the death penalty when I didn't even want to be there in the first place," said Gehami, 54.
A defendant in a criminal case has a constitutional right to subpoena witnesses. And although there are many reasons that a prospective witness may contest a subpoena, not wanting to help a particular defendant is not one of them.
M.H. Reese Norris, a veteran defense attorney, said he appreciates Gehami's predicament. "I think it would be tough to be a defense witness in a case with such strong public sentiment and in a case involving a crime that is so monstrous," Norris said.
Norris said that people unfamiliar with the legal system might not realize that just because someone is subpoenaed, it does not mean that person believes the defendant should be spared the death penalty.
"I feel bad for her," Norris said. "But the defense has a right to subpoena witnesses. She had to testify or face contempt-of-court charges. She had no choice."
'Do I Have To?'
Gehami said she would not have testified voluntarily. Although Gehami employed Hayes for a brief period in 2006, she said she did not think the little she had to say about him could sway jurors to keep Hayes off death row.
"I kept thinking, I knew him four years ago for 31 days. How desperate were they to find someone to testify if they had to use someone who knew him for 31 days? Is that the best they can do?" Gehami said.
Gehami said that officials with the public defender's office interviewed her shortly after the July 23, 2007, killings. She would not get another visit until Oct. 12. That day, one of Hayes' lawyers and an inspector told her they wanted her to testify.
At first, Gehami said, she was confused. She knew that a Superior Court jury had convicted Hayes on Oct. 5 of 16 counts connected to the killings. Wasn't the evidence in Hayes' case finished?
She said the public defender officials explained that six of the charges were crimes punishable by death, and before jurors would decide whether Hayes would either get the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of release, more evidence was needed from witnesses.
"I asked, 'Do I have to?' " Gehami said. "They said, 'Yes.' "
To ensure that she showed up, a subpoena arrived at her restaurant, Arugula, on Oct. 14, she said.
She worried about what a connection to Hayes' case would mean for her and her restaurant, a bistro that she has owned for 14 years in West Hartford Center. She said officials told her they would not refer to the restaurant by name during questioning.
The day before she would testify, Gehami said, she became even more anxious about her role for the defense when she read a news story that said Hayes' family members probably would not testify on his behalf in an attempt to save him from execution.
"I kept thinking, and yet I have to go," she said.
On the morning of Oct. 18, Gehami went reluctantly to Superior Court in New Haven. When it was her turn to testify, she said, she felt like all eyes were on her — but not for a good reason.
"I felt like I should have had an 'A' painted on my chest as I walked up the aisle," she said, comparing her experience to that of character Hester Prynne in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter." She even thought of a last-ditch ploy to get out of testifying.
"I thought if I could just trip here and fall, I'd be all set," she said.
Gehami did not trip. But later she did admit to being "fidgety," emotional and caught by surprise when Patrick J. Culligan, one of Hayes' defense lawyers, asked her to name her restaurant.
On the stand, Gehami said she hired Hayes as a dishwasher and pantry cook in September 2006. At the time, Hayes was living in a halfway house and trying to get sober through Narcotics Anonymous.
At times, she and a manager would sometimes give Hayes a ride back to the halfway house after work.
"He was good-natured. He was jovial. He made people laugh," Gehami told jurors. She testified that Hayes would talk about a woman he had a crush on who would come into the restaurant. She said he would wait for her to come in. She also recalled a routine argument she had with her best friend and colleague at the restaurant one day that prompted Hayes to get involved.
Hayes told Gehami's friend "not to talk to" Gehami that way. The two men argued and became physical but eventually ended up resolving the dispute with a handshake. "What Steve was doing was protecting me," she testified.
When she later learned that Hayes was charged with the killings, she told jurors, she thought it was a mistake.
Gehami also testified about meeting Hayes' accomplice in the killings, Joshua Komisarjevsky. Komisarjevsky, 30, has played a major role in both phases of Hayes' trial. Defense attorneys have portrayed Komisarjevsky as the mastermind of the crime and Hayes, 47, as a klutzy criminal who followed along.
Gehami told jurors that she refused to give Komisarjevsky a job doing construction work at the restaurant just moments after meeting him.
"I thought I was looking at the devil," Gehami told the jury. "My skin crawled. My hair stood on end."
Under cross-examination, prosecutor Michael Dearington asked, "Why did you think you were looking at the devil."
"Dead eyes," Gehami replied.
Gehami said that testimony made her emotional.
While on the stand, Gehami said, she looked briefly at Hayes. Culligan, who questioned Gehami, blocked her view of Dr. William Petit Jr., who survived the attack on his family, but Petit, she said, would at times move his head in an attempt to look at her.
"I wanted to apologize to Dr. Petit," she said. "I wanted to say, 'Sorry for your loss and I'm here because I was subpoenaed.' "
Throughout her testimony, Gehami said, she just wanted to blurt out, "I only knew him for 31 days."
Gehami said she was unable to tell the jury how Hayes would become angry when she tried to correct him and how he seemed depressed at times. And on the October 2006 day that he left the restaurant, she said, Hayes walked out about 5:15 p.m. during the dinner rush.
"He patted me on the head like I was a child and said, 'Good luck, Chris,' " she said.
After testifying, Gehami was able to avoid the throng of media and television cameras pitched outside the courthouse by exiting the courthouse through a back door. But that escape did not mean she would not face further scrutiny.
"I was referred to as a witness for the defense," Gehami said about the multiple news stories detailing her testimony. "How about a witness subpoenaed by the defense?" she said.
Critical Web Posts
In an Internet post at the end of a news story in the New Haven Register, "Scott" wrote: "This woman that has the restaurant in W. Hartford. WTH??? She made him out to be a saint and portrayed JK immediately as 'the devil (agreed) but she's clearly trying to save this losers sorry butt, and make this all JK's doing...I hope peeps boycott this 'arugula' spot."
And in The New York Post, the comments were even more stinging.
Poster "guyfrompa" wrote, "Boycott Arugula, The owner deserves NOTHING but grief now. She's pond scum."
"Hoss" said, "Fry him and let Gehami serve him at Arugula. Use his favorite marinade, Gehami. Let your customers determine how tender he is."
And another post said: "Gehami makes my skin crawl too! Shame on you! I cant even believe a woman would defend this garbage!"
Despite the online backlash and calls to her restaurant, Gehami's cozy restaurant has stayed busy in recent days. Although she had hired halfway-house residents prior to hiring Hayes, Gehami said she no longer hires employees from such programs. As one poster, "Clara," wrote:
"I would go to her resturant simply because I think you people are wrong to out her here. She is talking about what her experiences were with this guy and was probably ordered to appear. If she's being honest is all I care about."
And Gehami said her testimony was honest — and something she realizes now she had to do.
"People have to understand that just because someone is subpoenaed, it doesn't mean they are there as a witness trying to convince jurors to save someone's life. You're there because it's your civic duty as an American citizen," Gehami said.
As for Hayes, Gehami said he deserves the harshest possible punishment.
"If there's a hell," she said, "he'll be in it."

Mrs. Olde: "I had a hysterectomy, but I don't remember when. Susan, do you remember?"
Mrs. Olde's daughter: "I'm not sure, Mom. Was it before or after I was born?"
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Hey it's possible. My mom had a hysterectomy before I was born. Obviously I'm adopted. Lol....
My mom had a hysterectomy after I was born *and* I'm adopted. And I'm entertaining myself with the thought that this would completely blow some people's minds. :-)
lol worst case... Daughter doesn't know she is adopted and mother answers Before.....
You would think someone who's had a hysterectomy would never forget when they had it (at least the year), because no more periods (duh!).
Well, babies have occasionally implanted and grown elsewhere than in the uterus, you know. There was a case in New Zealand a few decades back of a woman who had a hysterectomy, and 9 months later was delivered (by C section) of a live baby that had implanted on her somatic peritoneum. It was thought that the fertilized egg must have escaped from a Fallopian tube into the abdominal cavity during the hysterectomy.

Fedora L10N Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some FAQs about the Localization Project.
Damned Lies (DL) :: Our statistics software. Upstream is GNOME.
Fedora Stats page :: Our instance of DL. Currently hosted at https://translate.fedoraproject.org/.
Transifex :: A Turbogears application for upstream translation submissions (Transifex devel page ). Canonical URL: https://translate.fedoraproject.org/submit/.
VCS :: Version Control System. CVS, Subversion, Mercurial (hg), git are all VCSs.
General Questions
How do I get the translation files? (#get-files)
You can either:
1. Use each module's stats page to download a PO file, using the green download icon next to each language.
1. Run an anonymous checkout for each module from its VCS. You can see the repository root for each module at
/module or on each module's stats page. Example:
1. Run an eponymous checkout for those modules where you already have access to. Currently these are those hosted on
cvs.fpo (docs, l10n, pkgs repos). The advantage of this method is that you can commit from the checked out copy. Example:
export CVSROOT=:ext:<username>@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/docs cvs co homepage
1. Grab all the msgmerged files for your language in the 'pofiles' directory way similar to the following, substituting <lang-code> with your language code (eg. 'el'):
export MYLANG=<lang-code> wget -q -r -N -l 1 --accept *$MYLANG.po -nd -nH -P pofiles http://translate.fedoraproject.org/languages/$MYLANG/fedora-9
In the future, we'll have a command-line interface to Transifex that you could use to easily do such stuff, like eg. running
tx get-lang el.
How do I submit translations? (#submit)
Take a look at http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/. There are two different families of Version Control Systems (VCS):
1. cvs.fedoraproject.org -- All Fedora translators ( members of the 'cvsl10n' group ) have commit access to these modules; see L10N/Join to join 'cvsl10n'. If this is not the case, it's a bug. To commit, run an eponymous checkout and
cvs commit.
[svn,hg,git] .fedorahosted.org and others -- All members of the 'cvsl10n' group can use Transifex to contribute to these modules.
Modules accepting translations from Transifex are listed at https://translate.fedoraproject.org/submit/module/.
Website Questions
The website of the Fedora Localization Project is http://translate.fedoraproject.org/.
Some quick facts:
- It is maintained by the L10N project , usually by DimitrisGlezos and DiegoZacarao.
- Code lives in CVS. See L10N/Tools#cvs .
Where are issues and requests for a website of the Translation Project reported? (#bugs)
The best place to report requests and issues about the statistics pages and other Localization-specific websites, is Bugzilla, L10n/Website component . Here's a quick query of existing website reports.
To report requests and issues about the Fedora's Transifex instance, use Bugzilla, L10n/Transifex component . Here's a quick query of existing Transifex reports.
Before opening a new bug report, please take a look at the above query to see if there's an existing report opened. It sometimes help to ask in #fedora-l10n if there's a known issue at that exact moment. If not, please open a bug report describing what's wrong with the service in clarity. Include the nature of the problem, the module/branch combination, the time (in UTC) it happened and your Fedora username. If you suspect it might be a problem with the particular file you are uploading or the target file, include that information as well.
If the issue is about Transifex as a software like feature requests and general problems not specific to the Fedora instance, please use the upstream ticketing system of Transifex .
How do I add a new team to the website? (#new-team)
See L10N/Maintainer on how to become a maintainer of a new language.
1. The website uses two files for team/people associations:
people.xml.in and
translation-teams.xml.in. To create a team and/or become a maintainer for it, we'll need to have those files updated for the information to go live on our website.
To add your team to the website, you will need to create chunks of XML for these files that reflect the changes you want to do. Here are examples of XML chunks:
1. people.xml.in
<person id="alan"> <name>Alan Cox</name> <email>firstname.lastname@example.com</email> <webpage>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Alan</webpage> </person>
1. translation-teams.xml.in
<team id="el"> <_language id="el">Greek</_language> <coordinator id="glezos"/> <bugzilla-component>Greek [el]</bugzilla-component> <webpage>http://www.fedoraproject.gr/</webpage> <mailing-list>email@example.com</mailing-list> <mailing-list-subscribe>http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-trans-el</mailing-list-subscribe> </team>
1. Create a bug report on l10n-requests . Either paste the XML chunks created in previous step or attach a patch for the files on the bug report (preferred). Make sure you added your information in both files. 1. Attach a hackergotchi image if you'd like (up to 100px max side). 1. Someone with a local copy of the website (see Maintainers on top of page) will test the changes, commit them and tag as LIVE. After this, and in a couple of hours, the website should be updated automatically.
How do I create a bugzilla component for my language? (bugzilla-team)
We have a separate bugzilla component for every language, in order for bug reports to reach the correct people (ie. the ones that can fix them). We maintain these entries in an owners.list
file on our VCS. You can find it in the L10n CVS, at /cvs/l10n/owners/ . Each organized language group should have an entry there.
For more information, refer to L10N/Maintainer .
What are all those warnings on the stats pages? (#stats-warnings)
These errors warnings are shown to help us identify which projects have issues with their i18n support. Usually they are harmless (at least to translators), but sometimes help bugs to come to the surface, so they mostly interest developers and administrators.
intltool errors (#intltool-errors)
The most common ones (eg. "Can't generate POT file"). This usually means that the module doesn't use intltool for extracting strings, so we can't be 100% sure that all the strings marked for translation in the application do show up in the POT file. If the error ends to "Using old one", then the POT provided by the translator is used.
There are some missing files from POTFILES.in (#missing-files)
Some source files aren't used for string extraction. The developer will probably want to know about this (hint: open a bug report).
Entry for this language is not present in (ALL_)LINGUAS file (warning) (#missing-from-linguas)
Some projects use some special files (po/LINGUAS, po/Makefile), to identify which languages are being shipped with their product -- for example, those which have translations > 80% complete. The languages mentioned in those files/variables are shipped/packaged, the others are not.
When these files are located in the VCS, the statistics interface tries to find the particular language in that file, and if it doesn't find it, it produces a warning. If you see this warning, most likely you will need to add your language in the respective LINGUAS file, or the appropriate variable in the Makefile.
If the module ships by default all languages but the warning still shows up, it can be safely ignored.
Don't know where to look if this language is actually used (warning) (#where-to-look)
Tried searching in common locations (eg.
Makefile) to find if this language is actually used, but failed. For intltool-based modules, this means the language isn't shipped with the product (eg. flp-website ). For others, it can probably be ignored.
Some error (eg. Missing files from POTFILES.in) AND Can't generate POT file (error) (#error-no-pot)
Some modules don't provide a POT file and depend on
intltool to dynamically produce one. This is great, however the maintainer needs to make sure the POT file can be generated and intltool doesn't choke (hint:
intltool -r or
-m). If intltool does choke, then there is no POT file for the translators (and the statistics interface) to work on and the error screen shown below is produced.
The developer should be notified immediately to fix this (eg. update their
POTFILES.{in,skip} and reminded to keep them up2date). Here's a template bug report for missing files from POTFILES.{in,skip}.
Are the statisics live? How often are they updated? (#update-frequency)
The statistics are automatically updated with a cron script, currently run around 1, 9, 17 UTC. Any changes to the files will reflect on the website a few minutes after each script run (up to half an hour).
You can see when was the last time the PO files were updated, on the module's page at a message like the following: Download POT file POT file (217 messages) — updated on 2007-09-24 01:43:00 MST. (MST is UTC-7). Also, you can see for each module/PO file the updated time inside the directories at http://translate.fedoraproject.org/POT/.
My PO file is 100% but that doesn't show up on the page. What's up? (#100-percent)
There are a number of reasons this would happen, but here are the most common ones.
- The statistics are not updated on-the-fly but on a scheduled base -- you might need to wait until the next run of the update script. See #live .
- Most likely the PO file you submitted needed an msgmerge first, because it didn't contain the latest strings from the POT file. Let's say you checked out the PO file from the Version Control System (VCS), translated it 100% and committed it back. Before calculating the statistics, DL does an
msgmerge on the PO file with the POT.
What to do if a module is missing from the statistics page? (#add-stats)
In general, we add modules on the statistics page that ship with Fedora or are related to Fedora, and can receive translations by translators.
If a module should be there that isn't, please do the following:
- Make sure your module uses the PO file format and all POs are inside one directory, eg.
./po/ (not in the
./locale/<lang> format)
- Enable anonymous clone/checkout on your repo/module.
- We need to add your name to
people.xml.in, and your module to
fedora-modules.xml.in and
releases.xml.in (see L10N/Tools#cvs for CVS information). Create chunks of XML for these files that reflect the changes you want to do (note: replace & with &)
- Create a bug report on l10n-requests . Either paste the XML chunks created in previous step or attach a patch for the files on the bug report (preferred).
- Someone with a local copy of the website (see Maintainers on top of page) will test the changes and commit them.
How do I add a module to Transifex? (#add-transifex)
To enable translators send contributions to your project through Transifex, you need to have a special VCS account for Transifex. The Fedora Infrastructure-side details are described at Infrastructure/SOP/Translations.
Step 1: Enable access to your module
If the module is hosted on Fedora infrastructure:
- If you are the project maintainer, add the "transif" user to your project's group in the Fedora Account System and sponsor him.
- If you are not the maintainer, open a bug report to that particular project with a request from the maintainers to add/sponsor the user and have that bug block the Transifex tracker bug, #436824. You can look at bug #438122 as a template if you'd like).
- This user is used by Transifex to push translations to your repo. This user shouldn't be removed in the future, otherwise translation submissions will fail for our translators.
- Go to step 2.
If the module is hosted elsewhere:
- Your repository must allow access over SSH for it to work with Transifex (currently). Someone (eg. DimitrisGlezos) will create a keypair for you and send you the public key.
- Create a VCS account (eg. transifex-fedora) using the public key and give it write access to your module.
- Restrict this access only to the directories/files you want the translators to have access to (eg.
/po/*). If this is not possible, don't worry too much: you can restrict access to the translators from inside Transifex through a regex.
- Test (if you can) that the above access and restrictions are in place.
- Add a comment on the bug report once everything is ready.
- Go to step 2.
Step 2: Let us know
Create a bug report on l10n-requests and add the following information on it:
Module name
Project webpage
VCS root, module, branch
File filter (eg. <code>.*/po/.*</code>)
Changelog file (if applicable)
Web front-end to VCS
<Link to bug report/ticket of step 1> (if applicable)
Someone will test the write access, add it to Transifex, test with a file commit and report back.
Finally, send an email to fedora-trans-list and let the contributors know about the change. You're all done!
Elvis move Questions
What was i18n.redhat.com? (#i18nrc)
i18n.redhat.com (also known as rhlinux or elvis) was our legacy localization server, maintained by Red Hat. In terms of Fedora, this server is deprecated in favor of using Fedora Infrastructure for hosting Fedora projects and most of the active modules hosted on elvis were moved to a Fedora server.
Why is a module missing from the 'translate' module on elvis? (#missing)
The 'translate' module was hosted on
i18n.redhat.com (aka. 'elvis'), and it brought together many translatable resources. Fedora developers are moving their development space from this system over to Fedora systems, ie. servers maintained by the Fedora Infrastructure Group. All the modules that are no longer on elvis have been moved over to Version Controlled Systems in the form
*.fedorahosted.org. The benefits from the move are increased development and administration efficiency, scalability of the translation platform, development of high-level totols, and encouraging more community work.
To get the translatable files see [#get-files] and to submit them [#submit] .
The old way was simpler! Why are we doing this? Argh! (#argh)
Keeping things on a single, central place, being served with a specific, static way is indeed more simple than having them distributed and dynamic (think: Windows, Linux). Also, traditional systems are more simple than modern ones (think: '30s airplanes, modern ones).
We have grown to a huge project, and new Fedora-related projects (usually requiring translations!) are being started all the time -- see for example the list of projects over at https://fedorahosted.org/). While elvis was simple enough for translators, it only supported CVS, and many developers find working woth other types of VCSs magnitudes more efficient than CVS. Also, administrators are able to distribute the workload more efficiently when the systems are maintained by the community of Fedora.
In short, it was inevitable that at some point we'd have to move to a more community model. We are doing our best to simplify the way things work, so please bear with us until then. Any feedback/suggestion is valuable, so please bring it on via bugzilla reports or on fedora-trans-list.
Other questions
Why isn't there a POT file in module X? (#no-pot)
Some developers use gettext to extract the strings in POT files when they build their package. Some others, though, use
intltool to do it, which allows the POT file to be produced dynamically when needed. Hence, these modules sometimes don't have a POT file in their VCS, since it's not needed. To update your PO file (msgmerge), you can simply use:
cd po && intltool-update <language>
If you need a POT file for some reason, you can use the following command to create one:
cd po && intltool-update --pot
Please note that not having a POT requires that
intltool-update should run without any problems (see also: [#missing-files-no-pot] ). If not, or if you'd like a POT file present in the VCS regardless of the use of intltool, you can open a bug report against that module and ask the developer to provide one.
A module doesn't have PO files nor statistics at all! Can you fix this? (#no-po-files)
Unfortunately no, that's an issue the developer can solve. Please open a bug report against that particular project: for Fedora/RH stuff that would be either RH Bugzilla or the project's trac system on fedorahosted.org.
What's up with msgmerge? (#msgmerge)
Each PO file should have inside it all the strings that appear in the POT file; translated or not. If a string doesn't appear in the PO file, then the string in the original language will appear in the final resource. This leads to the following paradox: a PO file is 100% translated but the website shows less statistics, and even worse, the shipped application shows untranslated strings.
Ideally, all POs should be msgmerged each time the POT is updated (ie. by the developer). But since this isn't always the case, the clients (eg. the translators and the website) need to make sure they are working on msgmerged files. The website runs an
msgmerge before calculating the statistics: it takes the existing PO file, merges in any new strings from the POT file and then shows the numbers. It also provides a link to the msgmerged PO file with the green download link on the left of each language.
To make sure your statistics are 100%, you can do either of the following:
- Use the status page to get the PO file, and submit that.
- Use the VCS directly to get the PO file, and msgmerge before translating. For modules with intltool support (they will have a file
cd po && intltool-update <language>
For others:
export L='el' && mv $L.po $L.previous.po && msgmerge $L.previous.po *pot > $L.po
When checking in/out, I get a "Permission denied" (publickey,keyboard-interactive) error (#ssh-key-denied)
Most of the cases, this is a problem with SSH keys. When a user creates a new account, we associate an SSH key with it. When a new account is created, the user is requested to upload the public part of her SSH key (located in
~/.ssh/ of your PC), and this key is used to identify the user. This way is more secure than using a simple password. If you can't authenticate to cvs.fedoraproject.org, then the SSH key of the user on the system you are using doesn't have the same SSH key as the one we have on our servers, associated with your username.

These are the Russian bombers which flew so close to UK airspace that RAF planes were scrambled to investigate.
The images, taken by the RAF, have been released by the Ministry of Defence.
The MoD confirmed that Typhoon jets were dispatched from Scottish base RAF Leuchars after the Russian presence was detected on Wednesday. The two Russian planes were identified as Russian Bear aircraft.
A spokesman said: "Typhoon quick-reaction alert aircraft were launched from RAF Leuchars to determine the identity of unknown aircraft that approached the Nato air policing area north of Scotland and could not be identified by other means."
Pilot Flight Lieutenant Gary Montgomery, of 6 Squadron, said: "We scrambled on April 23 to intercept two unknown aircraft approaching the Nato air policing area from the north. We intercepted and flew within visual range and identified them as Russian Tu-95 Bear H aircraft.
"We monitored their progress, including handing them over to Danish F-16 QRA aircraft as the Bears flew towards Denmark, then continued to monitor them as they returned and then departed towards Norwegian airspace. Intercepting Russian Bear aircraft is a routine occurrence for us, it's what we do to maintain UK sovereign airspace."
The MoD spokesman said similar incidents happened eight times during 2013, adding: "Russian military flights have never entered UK sovereign airspace without authorisation."
Paul Beaver, an independent aviation analyst, said: "The Tu-95 Bear H aircraft has extraordinarily long range because it has fuel in its wings and fuselage.
"The planes are absolutely iconic, and they can stay airborne for at least 12 hours, if not 18 hours. It can go from Conakry, Guinea, to Murmansk, Russia, (going) through the Mediterranean and up to the Black Sea. It can go from Murmansk to Havana."
The analyst, who has seen the inside of the aircraft, added: "It's a really interesting environment on board, and I've been on other nation's equivalents. The planes ar e very rudimentary, very effective and very strong, but they have no fancy refinements.
"The aircraft is cramped, full of jagged edges, and the reason for this is that it is designed around having as much fuel it can carry."
Mr Beaver said the plane could carry "a whole fleet of weapons" including torpedoes and nuclear weapons, depending on the role of the aircraft.

Decisions and stress and adolescents
Stressing out about a boyfriend or girlfriend or history test is part of a typical day for a teenager. But what is making these insignificant events seem like the end of the world?
With help from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Adriana Galván, a psychologist at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), has been studying the effects of stress on teenagers and adults.
"Teenagers experience stress as more stressful," says Galván, "and if that stress is interfering with their decision making, it's really important to understand the neural mechanism that's underlying this connection between high levels of stress and poor decision making."
Galván's ground-breaking study focuses on the effect stress has on brain function. Study participants report their stress level daily, using a one to seven scale--seven being the worst. If participants rate their day as a seven, Galván will ask them to visit the lab for tests.
Nilufer Rustomji, an 18-year-old participant of the study, rates her day's stress level as a seven. Monitoring her brain function with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Galván asks Rustomji to play a simple "reward and risk" video game, which involves wagering money.
"During the game, Rustomji is evaluating risk," explains Galván, "and while she's doing that evaluation, we are taking pictures of the brain to see how the brain makes [such] risky choices."
After computer processing the images, Galván analyzes how stress and risk influence what she calls the "reward system."
"The teenagers show more activation in the reward system than adults when making risky choices, and they are also making more risky choices than adults are," says Galván.
The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that helps regulate behavior but in adolescents, this region is not fully developed.
To help lower teens' stress, Galván says teens should double check and think about how the consequences will affect them later. "When you are stressed out as a teenager, it's interfering with your ability to make decisions," says Galván. "It's interfering with how the brain functions in regions that are still developing, mainly the reward system and the prefrontal cortex."
Galván's study is helping to provide deeper insight into why teenagers often act the way they do.

Two vs. One
For many members, devoting 30 minutes or more on most days of the week to exercise is a lot to ask. However, dividing the workout into two smaller bouts may be more manageable and less intimidating. It might also be more beneficial.
In fact, a recent study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that smaller bouts provide physiological and potential health benefits comparable to, and possibly greater than, traditional continuous exercise.
The study examined whether an incremental 12-week intermittent exercise program, similar to the program proposed in the joint statement from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that 30 minutes of moderate activity accumulated each day, on most days of the week, leads to significant health benefits would result in similar health-related improvements to those found with a more traditional continuous exercise program. The researchers also wanted to see if these health-related improvements from the first 12 weeks could be maintained or improved when switching from continuous exercise to intermittent training and vice versa.
Thirty-seven low to moderately active (exercise one-three times a week) participants (men and women, ages 29–65 years) were randomized into two groups, with one group exercising for 30 continuous minutes each day and the other group exercising 15 minutes twice a day with at least four hours between exercise bouts. All exercise was aerobic, selected from a variety of different modalities.
Exercise intensity was 50–60 percent of heart rate reserve (HRR) for the first two weeks, 60–70 percent HRR for weeks three and four and 70–80 percent HRR from week five throughout the duration of the study. Subjects exercised on their own, turned in weekly exercise logs and were asked to maintain their normal diet and energy intake. After the 12-week program was completed, subjects switched groups and continued exercising at 70–80 percent HRR following the new plan for 12 additional weeks. Researchers conducted pre-12-week, post-12-week and post-24-week assessments to identify any performance or health changes.
After 12 weeks of training, the intermittent group showed significant improvements including improvements to systolic and diastolic blood pressure during walking. The continuous group showed only changes in diastolic blood pressure during walking. Mean VO2 max increased in both groups after 12 weeks with the continuous group improving 4.5 percent and the intermittent group improving 8.7 percent. At 13–24 weeks the continuous group increased 3.6 percent and the intermittent group increased 7.7 percent. Despite the improvements, no significant changes were found in body composition, but this could be attributed to the lack of a strength-training component in either program, according to the study.
"This study utilized safe progression of exercise to show that intermittent exercise can provide physiological and potential health benefits comparable to, and possibly greater than, traditional continuous exercise, and also showed these improvements were maintained when switching from intermittent to continuous and vice versa," the authors wrote. "These results support the ACSM/CDC statement that intermittent bouts adding up to 30 minutes of accumulated daily activity can lead to significant physiological benefits."Walking Not Enough?
A team from Canada's University of Alberta compared a 10,000-step exercise program with a more traditional fitness regime of moderate intensity. Researchers found improvements in fitness levels were significantly higher in the second group.
"Generally, low-intensity activity such as walking alone is not likely to give anybody marked health benefits compared to programs that occasionally elevate the intensity," says lead researcher Vicki Harber.
Researchers compared 128 sedentary people on a 10,000-step exercise regime, which they completed at their own pace, with a group of people whose routine was more difficult but still allowed them to speak one or two sentences with ease at the end. Both routines, which lasted for six months, burned off the same amount of energy.
The researchers assessed walking's effect on a person's fitness level by measuring blood pressure and peak oxygen uptake. The step program increased peak oxygen uptake by an average of 4 percent during the six months, but the moderate intensity exercise group increased their peak oxygen uptake by an average of 10 percent.
Other markers of overall health, such as fasting plasma glucose levels and blood fat levels, were unaffected by either exercise.
"Our concern is that people might think what matters most is the total number of daily steps accumulated and not pay much attention to the pace or effort invested in taking those steps," Harber says.
However, the 10,000-step program does help motivate people to begin exercise, she says.
"Across your day, while you are achieving those 10,000 steps, take 200 to 400 of them at a brisker pace."
Professor Stuart Biddle, an expert in exercise science at the University of Loughborough, says that the current guidelines on how much exercise is needed might be set too low.
"They are based on a little bit of an educated guess," he says. "However, you have to strike a compromise between physiology and psychology. The harder you make it, the fewer people will actually do it. It may be that very small changes to the fitness of a large section of the population would have quite a big impact."How Much and How Intense to Reduce Heart Disease Risk?
When it comes to reducing the risk of heart disease, high-intensity exercise seems to edge out low and moderate intensity, but how intense and for how long is still being researched.
In a May 2005 study in the Journal of Applied Physiology, researchers investigated the effect of exercise intensity on cardio-respiratory fitness and coronary heart disease risk factors. VO2 max, lipid, lipoprotein and fibrinogen concentrations were measured in 64 previously sedentary men before random allocation to a non-exercise control group, a moderate-intensity exercise group (three, 400-kcal sessions per week at 60 percent of VO2 max) or a high-intensity exercise group (three 400-kcal sessions per week at 80 percent of VO2 max). Subjects were instructed to maintain their normal dietary habits, and training heart rates were modified after monthly fitness tests. Of the 64 participants, 42 men finished the study.
After week 24, VO2 max increased in both groups; however, greater gains were made in the high-intensity group. Trend analysis showed that total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and fibrinogen concentrations changed favorably across the control, moderate-intensity and high-intensity groups. However, significant changes were only observed in the high-intensity group.
"These data suggest that high-intensity training is more effective in improving cardio-respiratory fitness than moderate-intensity training of equal energy cost," the study's authors wrote. "These data also suggest that changes in coronary heart disease risk factors are influenced by exercise intensity."
In another study, published in Chest in October 2005, researchers studied the effects of exercise training amount and intensity on peak oxygen consumption in middle-age men and women at risk for cardiovascular disease. Results showed that exercising at the equivalent of walking 19 kilometers a week at 40-55 percent of peak VO2 is sufficient to increase aerobic fitness levels. However, increasing either exercise intensity or the amount will yield additional separate and combined effects on markers of aerobic fitness.
"Therefore it is appropriate to recommend mild exercise to improve fitness and reduce cardiovascular risk yet encourage higher intensities and amounts for additional benefit," the authors wrote.
But how much is needed?
An October 2006 study published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation studied the association between the amount and intensity of exercise and cardiovascular mortality in more than 27,000 men and 28,000 women who were free from known cardiovascular disease at the beginning of the study 16 years ago. After adjusting for age and other confounding factors, researchers found that a single weekly bout of high intensity exercise reduced the risk of cardiovascular death, in both men and women, compared with those who reported no activity. However, there was no additional benefit from increasing the duration or the number of exercise sessions per week.
"These results challenge the current recommendation that expenditure of at least 1,000 calories per week is required to achieve exercise-induced protection against premature cardiovascular mortality," the authors wrote.

A Spider on the Stairs is a "contemporary reimagining of the classic English mystery." It is refreshingly old-fashioned in its absence of gore and forensic razzle-dazzle.
This is part of a series featuring Scotland Yard Sergeant Jack Gibbons and his best friend, Phillip Bethancourt. Bethancourt is an upper-class dilettante who tags along with Gibbons while he investigates first one, then several murders around the beautiful, yet tourist-clogged town of York. Chan does a marvelous job of evoking the cozy atmosphere of the bookshop, York's warren of streets and the countryside during a particularly rainy spell.
Phillip's social connections provide Jack with insider knowledge that help to solve the case. Because he doesn't have to work and has no real family obligations, Bethancourt can devote whatever time and energy he has left over- after socializing late into the evening and romancing women.
The book begins with a murder in Mittlesdon, a charming old bookshop. There is a feeling of calm, unhurried serenity as the bodies stack up – even the bad guys remain polite and civilized.

New Directions in Research on E-commerce
It's a business truism nowadays that electronic commerce is a volatile, rapidly changing landscape. Despite recent discouraging trends, the fact remains that e-commerce is an integral force in business that must be reckoned with. Current research, however, has been limited to several narrow approaches, such as documenting economic performance, describing business models, and generating new applications and technologies. Charles Steinfield calls instead for an examination of how e-commerce influences fundamental relationships between consumers and firms, across firms, and between firms and the larger society in which they operate. New Directions in Research on E-Commerce offers an international group of scholars and practitioners representing eight countries at the cutting edge of electronic commerce. The essays are divided into four basic topics: understanding consumer responses to Internet stores; market structure and business-to-business e-commerce; e-commerce and industry structure case studies; and social and policy concerns in e-commerce. Collectively, they will help researchers, business leaders, and policy makers to arrive at informed, stable approaches to an essential facet of contemporary life.
