I'm only giving this three stars, because we had better meals in Marrakech at much less cost. The restaurant is known for only employing women, from the wait staff to the chefs, which is a rarity in Morocco.
The reason I'm ranking this as average is because the food was the very basic Moroccan selections, in huge portions, that tasted average, but had high prices. The service was also on the slow side. As for ambience, the restaurant is definitely fine dining with a dimly lit, romantic feel. Most patrons are tourists. As for location, Al Fassia is located outside the medina and is not walkable from most hotels. This was a definite downside as we had to get a driver to and from the restaurant.

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
—Sam Thielman, Newsday
"Salted among all the treacle miners and nascent trainspotters are some serious ideas about technology and the irrevocable changes it brings. . . . While exploring questions about the unintended consequences of technology, Pratchett also blasts fundamentalists who resist all progress. But mostly he seems to be having fun with words in the very British strain of absurdist humor that he has made his own. And 40 books in, why not?"
—Sara Sklaroff, The Washington Post
"A delightful fantasy send-up of politics, economics and finance, as the Discworld gets a railway and complications ensue. . . . A lovely homage to the courage at the core of technological advance. . . . Pratchett melds politics, finance and the occasional dark turn with his fantasy and humor, and as ever his footnotes are not to be missed. . . . How many writers are more fun to spend time with?"
—Ken Armstrong, The Seattle Times
"A spectacular novel, and a gift from a beloved writer to his millions of fans. . . . A tremendous synthesis of everything that makes Pratchett one of the world's most delightful writers."
—Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
"What began with a farcical satire of pseudomedieval fantasy has become a Dickensian mirror of contemporary western society. . . . Raising Steam is the latest transformation of a remarkable fictional world that has evolved and grown with its creator—and it shows how, in the way of many things invested with devotion on the Disc itself, the Discworld has taken on a life of its own."
—Karin L. Kross, Tor.com
"From the first, the novels demonstrated Pratchett's eye for telling detail and the absurdities of the human condition. . . . He remains one of the most consistently funny writers around; a master of the stealth simile, the time-delay pun and the deflationary three-part list. . . . I could tell which of my fellow tube passengers had downloaded it to their e-readers by the bouts of spontaneous laughter."
—Ben Aaronovitch, The Guardian
"Terry Pratchett's creation is still going strong after 30 years. . . . Most aficionados, however, will be on the look-out for in-jokes and references from previous novels—of which there is no shortage. Discworld's success, like that of Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster stories, has never been driven by the plots. . . . It is at the level of the sentence that Pratchett wins his fans."
—Andrew McKie, The Times (London)
"A brash new invention brings social upheaval, deadly intrigues, and plenty of wry humor to the 40th installment of Pratchett's best-selling Discworld fantasy series. . . . As always, Pratchett's unforgettable characters and lively story mirror the best, the worst, and the oddest bits of our own world, entertaining readers while skewering social and political foibles in a melting pot of humanity, dwarfs, trolls, goblins, vampires, and a werewolf or two."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Brimming with Pratchett's trademark wit, a yarn with a serious point made with style and elegance."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Leavened with Pratchett's usual puns, philosophical quips, and Discworld in-jokes, the story offers an amusing allegory of Earthly technology's many seductions."
Praise for Terry Pratchett
"Terry Pratchett may still be pegged as a comic novelist, but . . . he's a lot more. In his range of invented characters, his adroit storytelling, and his clear-eyed acceptance of humankind's foibles, he reminds me of no one in English literature as much as Geoffrey Chaucer. No kidding."
—Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Book World
"Given his prolificacy and breezy style, it's easy to underestimate Pratchett. . . . He's far more than a talented jokesmith, though. His books are almost always better than they have to be."
—Michael Berry, San Francisco Chronicle
"Nonstop wit. . . . Pratchett is a master of juggling multiple plotlines and multiplying punchlines."
—Ken Barnes, USA Today

And like the other people who made this claim, I never imagined I would ever write a bad review for a Terry Pratchett book.
But I've come to the conclusion that someone else wrote this book. As soon as this thought struck me (around page 80) I found myself reading on and wondering how I could ever have believed this was Pratchett's voice at all. No, someone else has taken over the shop. His daughter is the most likely suspect, since he said he was handing the Discworld on to her. (By the way, a note for the copyright page detectives: The books have been copyrighted in the names of both Terry and Lyn Pratchett for years... long before his illness. And Lyn is his wife, not his daughter.)
Assuming that whoever wrote Raising Steam goes on writing, I want to offer him/her a few tips:
- You need to know two things about Vetinari. He's always in control of any situation, and we are never shown what he's thinking. Never.
- All right, you need to know a third thing about him. We are constantly told he's ruthless, but he's not. He's got way more ruth than most people.
- Oh, and a fourth thing. He's the king of understatement. When Vetinari threatens you, he raises an eyebrow. He may or may not make some comment along the lines of "Indeed?" He does not give detailed, repeated, re-repeated descriptions of what he's going to do to you.
- The members of the City Watch call Vimes "Mister Vimes".
- The dwarves do not represent Muslims.
- Dwarves refer to female dwarves as "he".
- Death is a good guy.Read more ›
But I can't really fault Pratchett for the decline in his writing standards due to his health, nor is it fair at all. In fact I'd even say that it's impressive he's still able to put out a fairly decent story. So I gave the book three stars.
But I will comment on the following:
Goblins: I am not a fan of the goblins. I found them annoying little characters who add little to the story other than their cumbersomely long names. When Pratchett introduced the other sapient creatures of the Discworld - dwarves, vampires, trolls and the living dead, he introduced them with all their cliches and stereotypes and thoroughly poked holes through all of them and still gave them their due flaws, which made these characters so real to the point that I almost expected to run into a dwarf or troll when I stepped outside after reading a Pratchett novel. But the goblins have been given a hands-off treatment in a fairly politically correct manner that makes it difficult to warm up to them. Compared to the trolls and dwarves of earlier books, the goblins remain limited two dimensional characters that add little to the story.Read more ›
The characters are seriously flawed - pale and very blurred imitations of the real characters - cardboard characters as other reviewers have stated.
: Samuel Vimes - acerbic, dour, cynical Mister Vimes, laughs with "so twisty he can slide through a corkscrew sideways" Moist Von Lipwig. WHAT? (And if the author had called him "Commander Vimes" just once more, I would have been screaming at the top of my lungs.)
: Mustrum Ridcully, Arch Chancellor of Unseen University, never had more than a knowing twinkle in his eye. Now he indulges in laughing.
: Adora Belle Dearheart has turned into a non-smoking (from over 100 cigarettes a day) June Cleaver, "puffing" Moist¡¦s pillow and serving him a healthy (?) breakfast in bed. This is the woman whose brother called her "Killer" and Moist calls "Spike".
: Lady Margolotta who speaks with absolutely no accent, has has had no problem pronouncing a"W" previously. In this book, not only can't she pronounce a "W", she seems to use only sentences that have a forest of those letters in them.
: Lord Vetinari: oh lordy. Where to start? Intelligent, taciturn, secretive Vetinari has turned into a verbose, jolly good fellow who laughs with the inestimable Drumknott, his secretary. I could cry.Read more ›

I have pointer
char* str = new char[10];
I use the memory block
str points to to store data.
How can I allocate more bytes for the buffer pointed to by
str and not lose old data stored in the buffer?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I have pointer
I use the memory block
How can I allocate more bytes for the buffer pointed to by
Use std::string instead. It will do what you need without you worrying about allocation, copy etc. You can still access the raw memory via the c_str() function.
You cannot using the
If you are really using C++, the most correct solution would be to use std::vector. I assume that you are not using that information as a standard string, in that case you should use std::string (which is an specialization of std::vector, so no big deal). You are creating at least 10 chars. This gives me the hint that you are probably quite sure that you'll need 10 chars, but maybe you'll nedd more. Maybe you are worried about the performance problems involved in allocating and deallocating memory. In that case, you can create your string and then reserve the estimated capacity that you expect you'll need, so there won't be any reallocation at least until you get to that limit.
As others have already pointed out, the use of std::string or std::Vector will get you the benefit of forgetting about copy, resizing or deleting the reserved memory.
You have to allocate a different, bigger string array, and copy over the data from str to that new string array.
Allocation is a bit like finding a parking place. You're asking here if it's possible to add a trailer on your car that has been parked for a fews days.
The answer is, in C there exists something called realloc that allows you to do following thing. If I have already enough place to add my trailer, do so. If not park in another place big enough for your trailer and your car, which is equivalent to copying your data.
In other words you'll get strong and random performance hits.
So what would you do in the real world? If you knew you might need to add some trailers to your car you'd probably park in a bigger place than required. And when exceeding the size required for the place, you'd move your car and your trailers to a place with a nice margin for future trailers.
That's precisely what the STL's string and vector is doing for you. You can even give them a hint of the size of your futures trailer by calling "reserve". Using std::string is probably the best answer to your problem.
You can use realloc: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdlib/realloc/
I would add that this approach is not the favored c++ approach (depending on your needs you could use

If You Could Be Mine (Hardcover)
Winner of the Lambda Literary Award for LGBT Children s/Young Adult One of" Rolling Stone"'s 40 Best YA Novels A 2014 ALA Rainbow List Top 10 Title A "Booklist "Top 10 First Novels for Youth 2013 A Chicago Public Library Best of the Best 2013 In this stunning debut, a young Iranian American writer pulls back the curtain on one of the most hidden corners of a much-talked-about culture. Seventeen-year-old Sahar has been in love with her best friend, Nasrin, since they were six. They ve shared stolen kisses and romantic promises. But Iran is a dangerous place for two girls in love Sahar and Nasrin could be beaten, imprisoned, even executed if their relationship came to light. So they carry on in secret until Nasrin's parents announce that they ve arranged for her marriage. Nasrin tries to persuade Sahar that they can go on as they had before, only now with new comforts provided by the decent, well-to-do doctor Nasrin will marry. But Sahar dreams of loving Nasrin exclusively and openly. Then Sahar discovers what seems like the perfect solution. In Iran, homosexuality may be a crime, but to be a man trapped in a woman's body is seen as nature's mistake, and sex reassignment is legal and accessible. As a man, Sahar could be the one to marry Nasrin. Sahar will never be able to love the one she wants in the body she wants to be loved in without risking her life. Is saving her love worth sacrificing her true self?
About the Author
Sara Farizan, the daughter of Iranian immigrants, was born in Massachusetts. She is an MFA graduate of Lesley University and holds a BA in film and media studies from American University. Sara grew up feeling different in her private high school, not only because of her ethnicity, but also because of her liking girls romantically, her lack of excitement in science and math, and her love of writing plays and short stories. So she came out of the closet in college, realized math and science weren t so bad (but were not for her), and decided she wanted to be a writer. Sara has been a Hollywood intern, a waitress, a comic book/record store employee, an art magazine blogger, a marketing temp, and an after-school teacher, but above all else she has always been a writer. Sara lives near Boston, loves Kurosawa films, eighties R&B, and graphic novels, and thinks all kids are awesome. She is the acclaimed author of "If You Could Be Mine "and "Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel".

using mycred with buddypress and the rank photos are not showing up on profile anymore ?
using mycred with buddypress and the rank photos are not showing up on profile anymore ?
What version of myCRED are you using?
When did it stop working?
If you visit the myCRED > Settings page under "BuddyPress" what is your template for the "Point Balance" settings?
%plural% balance %cred% i also tried %rank_logo% and it did not work
i noticed it maybe 2 or 3 days ago
and im using the most current version
On the myCRED > Settings page under "Ranks", have you selected to show a users rank?
So your template used to contain the %rank_logo% template tag but no longer?
If you insert the template tag in the template, does it show the template tag or is it removed without showing a logo?
Have you checked that each rank still has a featured image and the image has not been deleted?
i dont ever remember seeing %rank_logo% in the template but
when i place it there it stays but no image is presenteted.
rank features is checked
and public is checked
rank image (logo) is checked *
If you have selected on the myCRED > Settings page under "Ranks" to include rank in the profile header, then it will only show the rank title. myCRED does not include by default the logo (since not everyone uses it while a rank title is always used).
So if you have seen a rank logo, there are only two possible options:
1. You use the %rank_logo% in the template for BuddyPress Balance template or
2. You use custom code in your functions.php file where you insert the rank logo.
If your rank title shows but no logo is shown I would do the following troubleshooting:
1. I would first make sure there is a rank featured image.
2. Visit my profile and check if the logo IS inserted but hidden via CSS. The easiest way to do this is to either inspect the profile header via your browser or view the html source.
3. If there is still no logo, I would enable WP_DEBUG in the wp-config.php file and then visit my profile / reload profile page to see if I get any error messages.

This invention relates, in general, to a multi language exchange system for messaging in one language to another and relates more particularly, though not exclusively, to an Internet based multi language exchange system.
Around the world, globalization has been theme from the past century and is even more important in the 21st century. Being able to effectively communicate with people in different countries and cultures is desirable. The English language is fast becoming a common language and the need to learn communicative English is growing in non-English speaking countries. In addition, the importance of cultural education is increasing to understand the background of communication and this is also required in the English speaking world to deal with the non English speaking world. To respond to this globalization trend, for example in Japan, there have been numerous English schools and English learning materials available in the market for a long time. Global education and international understanding are now school subjects. In Australia, there has been a drive since 1994 when the government emphasized LOTE (Language Other Than English) learning and as a result many primary schools started LOTE education from pre-school age. There have been many learning materials, kits and CD-ROMs available in classrooms, in educational institutions, and in homes in both countries to aid the process of teaching and learning another language.
However in Japan, Australia and elsewhere, one common problem is the difficulty of people understanding the value of learning foreign languages. Giving purpose to learn another language is the ideal solution to this problem many people would agree upon, but finding the actual purpose was not easy. Therefore many solutions available in the market today are aimed at sustaining the interest of students and motivating them to keep learning, but many have failed as they could not provide opportunities to use the acquired language in a meaningful and purposeful way. In Japan, for example, many interactive CD ROMs and software provide an element of entertainment, but because the response is not natural and is not the same as real human interaction, it fails to maintain continued interest among young learners of English. Children like children as partners but in Japan it is difficult to find native English speaking children as partners. Adult native teachers are not effective enough as partners as they cannot talk to children about cartoons or sport in the same manner as same aged peers could. Children cannot sustain interest in learning if the learning is not in line with their personal interests and do not have a chance to practice the language on foreigners.
When people living in different countries with different languages want to exchange messages and become friends, they had to construct sentences in a second language and type them from keyboards. This restricted users who lacked those skills to create overseas friends and exchange regularly. With conventional email systems, users can instantly send/receive messages. Conventional translation software can translate certain words, but lacks accuracy which become an obstacle to email exchange. Also, using translation devices does not let the user have direct experience of constructing messages in another language and understand the structural differences between these languages. Furthermore, there were no mechanism to instantly find words and phrases that are immediately relevant to the users constructing the messages.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a multi language exchange system which provides easy communication in a foreign language without specialized language translation skills.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a multi language exchange system which translates text accurately.
With these objects in view the present invention provides a multi language exchange system, said system including a communication device which includes an input screen on which a message in a first language is to be translated into a second language, said input screen displaying a programmable grid or list having at least one sentence or phrase formed by said grid or list in said first language, each grid element of said at least one sentence or phrase containing a word or words in said at least one sentence or phrase, each grid element of said at least one sentence or phrase having a sequence based on the order in which the word or words of the respective grid element would appear in the translation of said at least one sentence or phrase in said second language, wherein a user would follow the sequence to allow said at least one sentence or phrase to be translated in the correct order.
Preferably each grid element includes a representation of the word or words in both the first and second languages.
In a preferred embodiment said programmable grid provides a plurality of sentence or phrases which are contained in a database which is sorted under various subjects or interests. It is preferred that said communication device communicates via the Internet.
The invention also provides a method of sending a message translated from a first language to a second language through an electronic communication system, said method including the steps of using a communication device having an input screen on which said message in said first language is to be translated into said second language, said input screen displaying a programmable grid or list having at least one sentence or phrase formed by said grid or list in said first language, each grid element of said at least one sentence or phrase containing a word or words in said at least one sentence or phrase, each grid element of said at least one sentence or phrase having a sequence based on the order in which the word or words of the respective grid element would appear in the translation of said at least one sentence or phrase in said second language, using a pointer device to follow the sequence to allow said at least one sentence or phrase to be translated in the correct order and sending said translated message through said electronic communication system.
The invention is a simple but real human based, personally relevant and spontaneous exchange platform which allows users from as young as 5 years old to adults to interact with peers in another world. In case of children, it works on the thrust of their natural interest of wanting to discover new things and making friendships with other children of similar interests in a different world. This all gives enormous motivation and purpose to the users to actually try the language they have learned inside classrooms and understand the potential of it, and the same principle can be applied to grown-ups as well. With prior art, this could not be achieved because real humans were not available and even if the technology enabled connection with humans living overseas, they did not provide simple method for instant interaction with minimum language proficiency. Further, prior arts failed to sustain interests of the users involved as there were no systematic mechanism for making the context of exchange personally relevant but also comprehensive on the other side.
In order that the invention may be more readily understood and put into practical effect, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, in which:—
In the drawings there is shown a multiple language exchange system 10 which uses the Internet for communication. The preferred embodiment will be discussed with reference to English and Japanese speaking users, but is not limited to this combination. The system could be used for Japanese and French users or any combination of any language. In this embodiment a first user is based in Australia and has a computer 12 and a second user is based in Japan with a computer 14. The users communicate through menus on their computers 12, 14. The Australian user has a message creation menu 16 and a message viewer menu 18 whilst the Japanese user has a message creation menu 22 and a message viewer menu 20. The appearance of menus 16-22 can vary to suit particular requirements and design criteria and are not limited to those described. For example, menus 16 and 18 may appear on the same monitor screen together, or be separately selectable. Computers 12, 14 communicate via the Internet on a web based platform 24. The web based platform 24 provides communication with a contents server 26 which contains dictionaries for the various languages, software for controlling operation of the multi language exchange system, audio and visual media files and other relevant material and computer files for operation of the system.
The operation of the system 10 will be explained in greater detail later in this specification with reference to the menus. The user, for example, based in Australia, will log into the system 10 through a web connection at step 40. System 10 will provide customised menus for the user at step 42 based on the user database 28 and the information database 30. The user can construct a message (to be described later) and can send it to another user, for example, in Japan at step 44. The message can be constructed with the assistance of the audio visual files 32-36. The message will be sent in correct Japanese with little effort from the Australian user. The message will be delivered to the exchange database 38 and the message can be received by the Japanese user at step 46. The Japanese user will be able to read the message in Japanese and have access to any of the audio visual files 32-36 selected by the Australian user to be included in the message.
The email window 50 includes an address selection 60 where the email address of the addressee can be typed or entered from a drop down box. Any attachments to be included in the message will be listed in the attachment selection 62. The heading of the message will be entered in the title selection 64 and the message itself will be shown in the message box 66. A SEND button 68 is provided to allow the constructed message to be forwarded to the Japanese user as an email when the message is completed. A message can be typed directly in the message box 66, with or without translation, or can be inserted by use of the message construction window 56. If an on-line conversation is required, rather than sending an email message, then the real time conversation window 52 can be used. Similarly, a message can be typed directly in the window 52, with or without translation, or can be inserted by use of the message construction window 56 and forwarded when the SEND button 70 is activated. The real time video conferencing window 54 uses a camera (not shown) to provide video conferencing using established techniques of the type known as Microsoft NetMeeting or similar operating software. A mute button 72 can prevent the audio from being transmitted. Buttons 55, 55A can be provided to provide access to interactive games. The games can be played using foreign languages, in which case, the grid can be used to construct questions and answers in foreign languages, or it can be language independent and allow the users to interact with each other in a fun manner to gain confidence with the use of the system.
The message construction window 56 is divided into a grid which contains words, icons, images, etc which can be used to construct a sentence or phrase. The message construction window 56 also has two sentence windows 74, 76 which display completed sentences or phrases. These sentences or phrases can be put into a message with just one click of a mouse or other pointing device. The contents of the grid will vary dependent on the subject matter that the message will contain. In the example shown in
In use, if the Australian user wants to send a message saying "My favorite sport is footy.", then a user would click tiles 92, 94, 96, 100, 98 and 118 in that order. The message would appear in a preview window 74 or directly in the message box 66, real time conversation window 52, dragged to a location or placed in any other desired location. To change the sentence to "My favourite sport is rugby", a user would click tiles 92, 94, 96, 120, 98 and 118 in that order. The word "rugby" may be associated with a video clip which could be highlighted to indicate that the word is linked to a video clip on rugby. If you were sending the message "What sport do you like?", a user would click the tiles 89, 83, 85, 91, 87, 119 in that order. The message will then be translated correctly and in the required order. Each word may be associated with a sound file so the message may appear visually and aurally to assist in pronunciation of the words in either or both of the native and translated language.
The invention allows people living in different countries with different languages and cultures to communicate without the fluency of common languages or ability to use keyboards. The message construction web-based platform enables users to instantly communicate personally relevant messages in a second language and allows the recipients in another country to view the messages with suitable audio visual media, where required, to understand the background. The selection of words from a grid using a pointer device reduces the need for a keyboard. The words and phrases are located on a selectable grid with translation in their native language so the user simply selects words in a guided way to construct messages in a foreign language. The user can follow the instructions on the screen and make prepared sentences, or can combine words or replace certain words with the words or phrases that are suited to the user and construct a message based on foreign language. There can be many words and phrases on the selectable grids from which a user can choose. The pre-prepared sentences or phrases are written in both the native language and the second language and are broken down in words/phrases/sentences.
Users can find sentences that they want to construct and follow the indicated order based on the other language's structure so that the completed sentences would be in the correct order of the other language. The foreign language is indicated together with the original language, therefore, users can view and understand which words stand for which and understand the structural differences and learn the translated word in the process of creating messages. Users construct messages based on their native language so they do not have to be proficient in another language. The user does not have to use a foreign keyboard to convert the native language into the second language.
The recipient of the message will use a mirroring system with reversed language order, and can construct messages in the same way. In this way, both persons can construct messages guided by their native languages and both sides can receive messages in their native languages, allowing them to understand the messages without translation support. The system also allows users to construct words that are not found on the grid, using a particular grid that has letters (alphabets or foreign language equivalent of alphabets) and is possible to combine and create any words they like. Also it is possible for users to directly type in messages without using the grid in their native language or foreign languages from keyboards if they have the confidence to do so. The system also allows users to select completed sentences and phrases to avoid going through the process of constructing sentences by themselves. The system can be used for sending and receiving text messages, or combined with real-time chats or video conferencing functions to facilitate live interactions between users in different countries and/or different languages.
The invention provides a message content that is relevant to the user. This makes it possible to construct messages that are immediately relevant and interesting to the users. Multiple grids are categorized by topics and usage and these are stored on the contents server 26. Grids with contents that are relevant to the logged in user will be selected and displayed, according to the timing of log in and the profile of users. For example, as shown in
The invention allows users around the world who are not proficient in writing, reading, speaking, and listening to another language to communicate with each other and understand the backgrounds of each other. These proficiency skills are particularly lacking among users of young age in many countries. The system also allows people, especially children, around the world to engage in international exchange in an easy and effective manner, and instantly establish continuous international friendships, with opportunities to learn another language along the way. This makes it particularly useful for existing students of foreign languages to practically use the acquiring language and instantly establish international friendships, which makes the learning meaningful and purposeful for the students giving them additional reason and motivation to continue learning.
The invention facilitates live interaction between users. The invention can be combined with real-time text/voice chats or video conferencing functions which enrich the contents and enhance the effectiveness of communication. The live element of the interaction can be used effectively particularly for children in the Pacific region (but not limited to this region) who are learning second languages because there are minimal time differences between countries in this region and that children can interact with each other and experience international exchange both from school, home, public facilities, and other premises during normal waking hours. Under this environment, the multilanguage communication system itself would also carry a live element as many users are logged on and sending/receiving messages at similar times during the day.
The application of the invention is particularly effective between students in Australia/New Zealand where demand for Asian language/culture learning is high and East Asian countries such as Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, and Thailand (not limited to these countries) where demand for English learning is high. Australia and New Zealand are the only native English speaking countries that these Asian countries can interact at real-time during their school hours.
Also, the invention can be applied between North America and Latin America, Europe and Asia (European users can interact during school time with Asian counterparts in the evening), and other regions in the world where combinations can be made.
However, without the invention, it is difficult to exchange for the majority of students in these regions through any form of exchanges whether it be real-time chats, video conferencing, voice chats or text messaging, because of the limitations on their language proficiency and on the use of keyboards as well as the vast differences in culture, values, which prevents them to communicate well with each other.
The invention can be used for all age groups and allows cross generation exchange or/and cross cultural exchange.
The invention can be used for dating or match making services between different countries and/or races, and can be used in various forms of exchange.
Although the preferred embodiment is Internet based the invention is to be understood to be not limited to such an environment. The system could be LAN based, IP based, wireless based or use any other suitable communication method. The pointer device is preferably mouse based but could be stylus based or finger based using touch sensitive screens. The operation of the system could also be activated by voice recognition. The screen may be a computer monitor, television, personal digital assistant (PDA), mobile phone, hand held device, laptop computer or any other electronic communication device. The contents server 26 can be substituted by media directly accessible by the user, for example, CD-ROM, hard disk, memory device, etc. An installation program could look for the contents server 26 or any other device or memory location. For use with devices having small screens, for example, mobile phones, the grid elements may be list based elements.
The invention will be understood to embrace many further modifications as will be readily apparent to persons skilled in the art and which will be deemed to reside within the broad scope and ambit of the invention, there having been set forth herein only the broad nature of the invention and a certain specific embodiment by way of example.
Throughout this specification and the claims which follow, unless the context requires otherwise, the word "comprise", and variations such as "comprises" and "comprising", will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or step or group of integers or steps but not the exclusion of any other integer or step or group of integers or steps.
The reference to any prior art in this specification is not, and should not be taken as, an acknowledgment or any form or suggestion that the prior art forms part of the common general knowledge in Australia.

Cannabis: The Future of Preventing Insulin Resistance
In a recent clinical study doctors have found that patients of theirs co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C (HCV) were less likely to develop diabetes and insulin resistance if they smoked pot.
You can get certain forms of hepatitis in the same way as HIV, and about 80% of intravenous drug users with HIV also have HCV. Both diseases put the person at risk for further complications in the liver, as well as diabetes.
In this large-scale study done by the Infectious Diseases Society of America, 200 collaborators looked at 703 patients, collecting data over 60 months for each patient. Doctors assessed their level of insulin resistance and took behavioral data, including cannabis use.
Adjusting for all the variables they could, they found that cannabis users with HIV-HCV were around 2.77 times less likely to develop insulin resistance. While the study focused on people co-infected with those two illnesses, the study concluded saying "benefits of cannabis-based pharmacotherapies for patients concerned with increased risk of IR and diabetes need to be evaluated."
A future for medical marijuana as a preventative medicine lies ahead to help those at risk ofdeveloping diabetes and insulin resistance.
Sharing is Caring.
Colorado may allow medical marijuana use during probation, parole
A Colorado proposal to allow people on probation or parole to use medical marijuana won unanimous approval Thursday in its first test in the state legislature.
The state has allowed medical marijuana use for 15 years — but not for people on probation or parole.
The House Judiciary Committee voted 13-0 to change that policy by saying that pot use doesn't amount to a probation violation for people with medical clearance to use the drug.
"If it's in the constitution, you should have the right to use it on probation," said Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton and sponsor of the bill.
The change wouldn't apply to probationers whose crime was related to marijuana.
Colorado's hearing comes two days after Arizona's highest court ruled that marijuana patients in that state should be allowed to use the drug while on probation or parole.
Rhode Island and the U.S. Virgin Islands also allow probationers to use medical marijuana, according to the pro-legalization Marijuana Policy Project. California law specifies that anyone on parole can ask the courts to be allowed to smoke medical marijuana after being released from jail or prison.
Other states have seen a mish-mash of responses in the courts on whether people can smoke pot while on probation and parole.
Colorado's Court of Appeals ruled in 2012 that people on probation should not be allowed to use medical marijuana. State analysts who reviewed the bill weren't sure how many people currently wind up back in jail because they fail a marijuana-related drug test while serving probation or parole.
Lawmakers worked late into the night Thursday hearing from marijuana patients who support the bill. They included Christyne Smiley of Boulder, who is on probation and not allowed to use marijuana to treat an eye condition called a "macular pucker." Instead she has to use prescription drugs she considers less effective.
"Honestly, marijuana works better," said Smiley, who said the bill would allow people on probation "to get the relief to which they have a right."

Top 420 Events For 2015
4/20 is just ten days away. I have been compiling a list of events (which is a daunting task, because there are so many out there), which can be found below. I'll be updating this list as my day job and life allow over the next ten days, so don't consider it a polished finished post just yet. If I didn't post an event, it's because I haven't had time to add it yet, not because I'm not recognizing it as a fun thing to do, so please keep that in mind.
Please help me out by e-mailing me at firstname.lastname@example.com with any leads on events in your area, or post them in the comments so that others can benefit from your knowledge. I will be posting this list on 4/20 as well to remind people of what's out there. April 20th is on a Monday this year, so many events will occur over the previous weekend. With no further delay, below is the messy list of 4/20 events that I have compiled so far:
High Times Cannabis Cup
April 18-20th
Denver Mart 451 East 58th Avenue in Denver
