Dadaab: World's Biggest Refugee Camp Turns 20
Last year, 2011, was the 20th anniversary of the world's biggest refugee camp - Dadaab in north-eastern Kenya. The anniversary is a reminder of the suffering of the Somali people, who have been seeking safety and shelter for two decades. UNHCR, which manages the Dadaab complex, set up the first camps there between October 1991 and June 1992. This followed a civil war in Somalia that in 1991 had culminated in the fall of Mogadishu and overthrow of the Siad Barre regime.
The original intention was for the three Dadaab camps to host up to 90,000 people. However today they host more than 463,000 people, including some 10,000 third-generation refugees born in Dadaab to parents who were also born there.
Last year's famine in Somalia saw more than 150,000 new arrivals, a third of the camp's current population. Overcrowding and stretched resources as well as security concerns have all had an impact on the camp, but UNHCR continues to provide life-saving assistance.

The Red Lodge Parade is an annual tradition. This year's theme is "Wagons Ho!" Those who had floats say it's an honor to participate in an Independence Day event.
"It couldn't be any better than being here in Red Lodge," said Marv Coleman, a parade participant. "It's just such a, it's kind of a small town parade but everybody just has a good time and enjoys the fourth."
Some are hoping to educate the public with their floats.
"We have the mules in the parade," said Bill Mytton. "The mule has been in every war in America including Afghanistan and Iraq and they've helped carry ammunition."
The Myttons are representing Operation Second Chance in the parade. The organization serves wounded, injured, and ill veterans.
"Realizing all the things that have gone into creating our great country and the opportunities we have," said Janice Mytton. "And we're especially proud of the military and the people who have served, we're proud of all Americans and all the good things that they've done around the world and in our country."
"It means basically these are the people that allow us to do this," Bill said. "Without our soldiers we won't have the freedoms we have today so we do this in honor of them. And it goes back to family members, people we know who aren't here today, and it's the least we can do to try and keep our country as free as it is today."
The Myttons hope the Fourth of July will serve as a reminder to honor the sacrifices our nation's soldiers have made.

About this video
The hijab in post 9/11 Australia
The hijab in post 9/11 Australia
Discover why Afghan-Australian Makiz Ansari's commitment to the Muslim faith has led her to wear a headscarf (hijab) as a sign of her belief and why the Ansari family migrated to Australia. Makiz describes the effect that study of the Koran had on her following the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the USA.
Things to think about
Before viewing
Do some preliminary research on the symbolism of the hijab (headscarf). What significance does it have in Muslim culture and religion?
As you view
Why did the Ansari family move to Australia?
What prompted Makiz to study the Koran and in that way rediscover the traditions of the Muslim faith?
How does Makiz explain her decision to wear the headscarf, despite the fact that other women in her family did not wear it?
After viewing
How does this clip help challenge stereotyped views of the role of women within Islam?
What does this clip about Makiz, her family and her decision contribute to your understanding of how religious beliefs and values in Australia can continue or change?
Next steps
Head coverings for women and men have long played a role in faith systems. How many examples can you think of? Research the significance of head coverings in a few religious faiths. Try to find some evidence about whether the wearing of head coverings in those religions is declining or not, where, why and for whom.
00:00:05:07REPORTER:Makiz Ansari's family fled the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and arrived via India in the mid-1990s when she was only six.00:00:15:11MAKIZ ANSARI:My family background was really very hard on education. During the invasion of the Russians it just wasn't going to be conducive to that environment for us at all and my mum and dad picked on that, thank goodness, and we left Afghanistan. And we had family in Australia already from my dad's side. And then that was our link, you know?00:00:40:24REPORTER:Makiz rediscovered the traditions of the Muslim faith after the September 11 2001 attacks on America which enflamed the age-old Muslim-Christian conflict around the world. Confused by claims it was done in the name of Islam, she turned to the Koran to find out for herself.00:01:01:10MAKIZ ANSARI:So I went straight to the Koran for myself. I remember reading the Koran. And the experience was deeply profound.00:01:13:21REPORTER:Despite growing tensions between Muslims and Christians in Australia Makiz celebrated her faith by putting on the hijab.00:01:23:12MAKIZ ANSARI:I had never worn a scarf in my life as my family didn't. I didn't even know what piece of cloth I should wear. And so I put it on, and to be honest with you, from then onwards I would even sometimes forget I was wearing the scarf. I would have very bad scarf days trying to really get the hang of it. But, really, that outward expression, for me, it reconciled with the wisdom that I was getting from that inner understanding, that inner wisdom behind the practises of Islam.

Buzz: Interest In Jesse Winchester
12:45PM: Garrioch notes again that the Rangers have shown interest in Winchester.
Jesse Winchester has passed his baseline test. It would appear he's going to go to free agency. NYR and COL will be interested. #Sens
— Bruce Garrioch (@SunGarrioch) July 1, 2012
Winchester had a cap hit of $750,000 last season.
He only played in 32 games last season but averaged over 2 minutes a night killing penalties.
He had two goals and six assists along with 51 hits and nine blocked shots.
Does anyone really watch the Pro Bowl? No matter how the NFL juggles it, it's a problem due to the nature of the sport. To show off exceptional skills and play hard, there's a possibility of injury to some of the best players in the game so the result is walk-through "theater."
IMO the Pro Bowl should be eliminated and instead honors given to individual players after showing plays that highlight their skills and accomplishments during the year. I know this sounds like the BS Hollywood award shows that I hate, but I WOULD watch this if it were done as a serious football documentary rather than glitz mongers looking up their own arses.
You know the pro bowls a complete joke when cromarties a second alternate after the crapfest he put up this season. CRo has no buisness even sniffing the pro bowl.
Wait doh minute..
I'm going to the prowl bowl and I gonna sell green and white Jet Yo Yo's dats light up yo yos dats right!
we win 1 loose 1 ...I think the green and white yoyos should go off the shelf really quik.
I hope the Jets didn't shoot their load last week with all the emotions involved and still a big uncertainty on Rex. They could be emotionally drained.
The thing that gets me, is if they are going to keep Rex , why not just endorse him now or when all this speculation started brewing?
Rex Ryan won seven games with a team that had no first team pro-Bowlers and Idjit wants to fire him? Fsck that. #FireIdjit #KeepRex
The media is making too big of a deal of the so called Black Monday. Even if there is a big shake-up, as long as General Idzik gets the pieces for our club, that is what will count. An offense with weapons, and key pieces on the defense will do the trick. I am sure his new regime will have a solid background in football. I would rather have just average coaching, but with a lot of talent on the field, than good coaching and no talent. Many teams with non spectacular coaches but solid talent on the field have went real far. Of course you want both , but lets not overshoot this. This is what happens when a new GM gets to put his stamp on things. Lets back our Commander and Chief! In Idzik we trust! At first, many fans will be upset, but then when Johnny Z starts adding talent and has a spectacular draft, we will all be on board. Go Jets!
And I was so looking forward to watching the pro bowl. oh, wait, no, I was not.
Why are they making a big deal out of 6 assistant coaches being in the final year of their contracts?
I can't take it no Mo!
The Giants didn't have a selection either. 27 of 32 teams had at least one initial selection.The Niners and Chiefs of the future led with each having 8 .
Twitter land is going nutso with this!
Something is very wrong when big Mo doesn't make it and Cro who is ranked near the bottom for CBs, makes it as an alternate.
I guess it is the injustice of thing that bothers me. Welp, it is not that big of a deal. Lets just knock the Dolphins out Sunday and start our off season into building a real contender.
What nonsense that Wliks didnt make it!!!!!!!
never bothered me one way or another. i realize it helps players with negotiations.
Wilkerson needs an extension this offseason. If this helps them keep it in the 6/72 range of Charles Johnson instead of the 6/100 range of Mario Williams, then that's fine with me.
What a travesty and a pathetic joke.
Wilkerson and Folk should've been starters.
Richardson, Howard, Pace and Mangold should've been backups.
Cromartie shouldn't have made it.
No bias.
Another chip on the shoulder for Sunday?
No Giants either FWIW.
Wow. Four Dolphins make it, and not a single Jet?
WilkShake was robbed !!
No doubt, Rex exceeded expectations, but Idzik is looking at the future and big picture. They have to let Idzik call the shots, or they should not have hired him. The GM gets the say.
@Hanknaples @Bent What's that got to do with me? Leave me alone Hank.
@Hanknaples@Bent you sound exactly like a spoiled child whining to his parents about his brother.Grow up.
@Bent@Hanknaples what moderators? :)
Hank, why are you acting so churlish?
@Hanknaples @Bent You know that's not true, so the only reason you could possibly have for saying that is to be inflammatory as usual. I hope the moderators are watching.
I have better things to do.
@Hanknaples @Bent Even if I was a moderator, have you ever known me to sit there deleting your comments as soon as they were made? Obviously whatever you put was caught by automatically by a filter.
Mangold is a great player and gloating about him not making the Pro Bowl is inflammatory behavior, so be careful not to do that because the current moderators may not be as forgiving as I am.
@Hanknaples @Bent I do not currently have moderator rights on this site Hank. If you are getting posts wiped out then that has nothing to do with me. However, if all you are going to do is gloat about some Browns player making the team I DON'T CARE.
Go away.
@Hanknaples @Bent Leave me alone.

This blog is about the two best tennisplayers from argentina, who i really ♥ - Juan Martin del Potro and Juan Monaco;))
I also ♥ Nole and Vika!! I ♥ music from Coldplay & B. Springsteen:
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
A friend of mine from Argentina send me this nice collage from Delpo´s hometown Tandil. When u see this, u can imagine, why Delpo loves it, to come be home!!!!
Here a list of the firsts tournaments Delpo will play 2013!!!!
I dream of winning more grand slams and being no.1 in the world.
I can't make everyone happy.
Juan Martin del Potro today in an interview.
He will not play Davis Cup in 2013, his focus is on his own career.
When u look at other great players also in the past, they made the same decision.
Good luck for it, Delpo!!!!!

I know this is slightly off topic, but there is a high degree of ID talent on this list, and I havn't been able get any
answers elsewhere.
Question: Sometimes the source port of a scan
gives a clue as to the tool used to scan. The best example is a source port of 61000-650096 (Possible linux
masquerading box). I am wondering if there are any other rules of thumb, or even a canonical list of what we can tell
from source port.
(Mundane stuff like SMB and FTP doesn't count! I'm more interested in esoteric stuff like tools and OS's.)
Ps. FYI, I saw in one of the security NG's today that a Linux kernel patch has been released that is designed to
confuse fingerprinting.

Your kids will scream with delight as they jump, spin and slide their way through these awesome inflatables!
We will be offering our inflatables party throughout the year. Give us a call to check our availability.
After your kids are tuckered out, it's time to eat. The group of kids will then be walked to a party room directly across from the inflatables area. All refreshments will be served there.
Your inflatables party will include the same great party attendants that our sport packages include. In addition, you will receive two party attendants to make sure your children remain safe and sound. (Because every package includes the two attendants, there is no referee supplied with the Supreme Sport Package.)
Inflatables parties are limited to 15 children and due to safety regulations, each inflatable can not exceed 6 children at a time. Children must be 3 years of age or older to go on the inflatables. In addition, socks are required.

UNCLE! she cried
But I gotta relearn how to navigate all this stuff. Some of my co-workers have set up the new software to look like the old software, and I am too lazy to even do that. I will just get used to it.
But don't you just get tired of getting used to things? Sheesh.
It's the gnats that get ya.

I know how you feel, that 2007 version is so different, but only superficially. You wouldn't have liked to hear me in my first days working with it seriously. All those new buttons eventually open up the old familiar dialogs. Just the extra trouble to find them!ReplyDelete
Thank you Sigrid, I appreciate your sympathy :)ReplyDelete
You are right- I have just clicked on all the buttons and they work!
I guess I can get used to it ...

Ugh! And we just got in the update for our major billing program - so not looking forward to loading that up!ReplyDelete
I started using 2007 last year, at first it does look surprising different. But as others mentioned it is all there. Now that I've have gotten accustomed to it I hate using 2003! I love the ribbon on 2007, it keeps all the most often used items for me at an easy location. It truly is easier to use once you get accustomed to the changes.ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting my blog and Happy Sewing, xo

The drafters of the bill want to bolster border security and immigration checks by employers to make it less enticing to overstay a visa or slip into the country to find a job.
Employers, from tech companies to farms, demand access to new, reliable streams of labor, while unions fear the potential erosion of wages.
Impact on immigrants
Path to citizenship » Under the Senate reform bill, it would take undocumented immigrants at least 13 years to obtain citizenship, but only about six months to get temporary legal status and the right to work. The government would call them "registered provisional immigrants," a status they could renew every six years as long as they paid their taxes and a $1,000 fine, remained employed and didn't run afoul of the law. After 10 years, they could apply for a green card and, three years after that, citizenship.
Dream act » The bill has a shorter path to citizenship — eight years — for the children of undocumented immigrants who entered the country before they were 16 years old and graduated from high school or received a GED. They must have been in the country before the end of 2011. The bill offers a similar fast track for agriculture workers.
Visa backlog » The proposal promises to eliminate the family reunification backlog that varies by country. In Mexico, it's about 20 years and for those from China, it's about seven years.

Immigrant groups want legalization, but they feared the politically toxic label of "amnesty."
And there are people who want unauthorized immigrants to face serious punishment for violating the law.
The Senate seems poised to pass this complicated bill, negotiated by four Republicans and four Democrats, with a big majority, but it won't become law without action by the Republican House — and that's far from certain.
"A lot of the debate is being controlled by center-right politicians and by Republicans who are demanding concessions," says Salt Lake City attorney and radio personality Mark Alvarez.
That includes Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.
Hatch says he's prepared to support the bill if Democrats require undocumented immigrants to pay back taxes and wait for a total of 15 years before being eligible for federal health care subsidies.
The senator, who has not previously supported a pathway to citizenship, says he's just trying to ensure these immigrants are treated like everyone else.
Alvarez bristles at all of the obstacles to citizenship, but he does so quietly.
"I know what I want is not possible in Washington," he says, explaining why he is not fighting to make the path to citizenship easier and shorter. "I think President Obama is doing this as well. He's staying out of the conversation because he knows his involvement in it could put at risk the passage of immigration reform."
Supporters say reform would transform labor markets and the border with Mexico. Critics claim it would harm the middle class and attract more people to come by any means necessary.
In either case, the real legacy of the bill won't be budgets or border fencing — it would be in the day-to-day lives of those with newly granted legal status or inside the homes of reunited immigrants.
Still seeking sanctuary » After fleeing a turbulent Mexico in 1988, Norma Klemz is still seeking sanctuary. She and her two kids bolted California and her abusive husband to start fresh in Montana, but soon after settled in Utah, where she found love.
Now married with a blended family of five kids, the Murray resident's immigration status remains on administrative hold. But the indignities are constant.
A landlord labeled her family "pigs" — despite their tidy home — because of her brown skin. A clerk refused to swipe her debit card at Harmons, causing a scene while questioning her legal status. And she worries about driving — what if she is pulled over for a faulty taillight and profiled — or shopping amid aggressive police on the valley's west side.
"It's not an easy way to live," Klemz says. "I consider the United States my country, but I know it's not, because I'm not welcome."
Steve Klemz, her husband and pastor at Salt Lake City's Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, says Norma has incredible pride but no voice. "In every way you turn, you are not valued" if undocumented, Steve Klemz says. "Your human dignity is assaulted."
Norma Klemz twice had a green card only to lose it each time under appeal. She cannot visit her dying mother in Mexico. And she has spent $15,000 and counting on her citizenship push.
"It's every day, I think, 'What if I'm going to get separated from my family,' " Norma Klemz says. "They see you as a piece of paper. They don't see your life, they don't see your story. They don't see how you struggle."Next Page >

" The CCC is an event I will never forget. The organisation of the event is what makes it so special. The route selection, the food, the desire to see everyone succeed. This is what the CCC is about. This is just part of why the CCC is like no other event in the world. "
SEE DATES & DESTINATIONS FOR 2015.* Details on dates for opening of sales for 2015 will be posted here once CCC Pyrenees over. (check on 27/9) See regular updates too on :https://www.facebook.com/centcolschallenge
CCC CORSICA Ridden. Voted by some, "the best CCC yet" (and confirmed by many as " definitely hard enough" !) New for 2014, featuring a heady mix of wild mountainous roads and superb coastal roads leading to beach-location hotels. The 'gentlest' of all the CCC rides ! (See NEWS page for Phils' November 2013 Reconnaissance Diary.)
CCC ALPS. Ridden. No tumbles. Lots of smiles (once the pain subsided !). Another epic journey completed & friendships made for life. Thanks again to all those who made this experience so rich. The roads and the mountains provide so much, but in the end it is up to the group of riders to each journey such a unique moment in our lives.
31/8 – 10 September : This event is now Sold Out. It will NOT be run in 2015 (2015 calendar full with new events : see below).
15 – 25 September "Backwards". "Still my favourite location for the CCC concept", (says Phil.)
" Training for, and participating in this event has been quite a journey. One that has ignited our passion for cycling and shattered our perspective on what is possible. The sheer physical difficulty of the cumulative mileage and ascent we faced every day; the immense scenery; the personal mental battles to persevere when muscle pain, saddle sores and knee pain all conspired to make us want to stop; and the mutual respect and sense of connection amongst the group of riders and staff all combined to make such a rich and rewarding experience. This event will forever represent a pivotal experience that allowed us to discover the true essence of road cycling.Rapha as well will forever hold a place in our hearts as a brand at the core of this experience. "
" What made the Cent Cols Challenge in the Pyrenees particularly unique however is not just the quality of the riding – but the people like yourself, Claire and the staff whose character, enthusiasm and passion made the experience exceptional. Your unbridled passion for cycling and the obvious time and effort that went into researching our route through the Pyrenees provided not just a phenomenal variety of terrain and scenery, but a sense of adventure and exploration. We both felt as if we were on a personal trip with close friends rather than a commercial enterprise."
2015 Dates & New Events. See new event pages (on navigation bar) for details of these events.
CCC Corsica 18-28 May
CCC SOUTHERN ALPS (NEW) 6 – 16 June. (Nice to Nice) A chance to explore the southern part of this vast range in more detail. With a planned 'Northern Alps' to follow on from this in 2016, for those who are looking for an 'Alpine Double' treat. Details now fully confirmed. See "Southern Alps" event page.
CCC Pyrenees 30 August – 9 September. The 2014 route. (Rivesaltes to Rivesaltes). Proven magic, untouched by time.
CCC Cantabrico 14 – 24 September. (NEW). (Bilbao to Bilbao) The BIG climbs of the Vuelta and so many more. From the Basque Country to the Picos region and back. Guaranteed as hard as the Dolomites. Could be harder…..
CCC Cevennes to Cantal. (NEW) 29 September to 9 October ( Montpellier to Montpellier). Limited to 15 places, a very special ride through some of the wildest parts of France : Cevennes, Ardeche & the Monts du Cantal.
More details about all these events will be posted here later this year.
