A waterfront house in Waiwera Beach north of Auckland has
been destroyed in an early morning blaze.
The one-storey property on The Strand was "well involved"
when fire crews arrived about 2.30am and the fire gutted the
building in about 30 minutes, said Northern Fire
Communications spokeswoman.
No-one was inside at the time.
The latest tenants were understood to have moved out of the
house yesterday afternoon, Newstalk ZB reported.
The cause of the fire is being investigated.

Dangote Sugar of Nigeria Falls to Record as Profit Dropped 49%
Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc, Nigeria's biggest producer of the sweetener by market value, fell to the weakest on record after reporting a 49 percent drop in nine-month profit.
The stock lost 4.9 percent to 5.40 naira by 12:27 p.m. in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital. A close at this price will be its lowest since March 2007, when the shares started trading.
Net income retreated to 4.4 billion naira ($28 million) in the nine months through September from 8.57 billion naira a year earlier, the company said in a statement published on the website of the bourse yesterday.
"The poor earnings were spurred by higher rebates management may have granted to its key clients and distributors as an incentive for higher purchase volumes," Bunmi Njugo, a Lagos-based analyst with Stanbic IBTC Bank Plc, wrote today in a note e-mailed to clients.
Higher raw-sugar prices also increased the company's costs, she said. International sugar prices rose 8.2 percent in the first six months of the year. Dangote imports about 95 percent of its raw materials, according to Njugo.

The ''people power'' that has resulted in legal highs being
banned can also help cut this country's unacceptably high
workplace death toll, Dunedin South MP Clare Curran says.
She was commenting in an address to about 35 people at the
Otago Workers Memorial in the Market Reserve, Dunedin,
yesterday, during a commemorative function to mark
International Workers Memorial Day.
During the event, the names of 54 people who had died in
workplace accidents in Otago-Southland since the early 1990s
were read out, and a small white cross was placed in the
ground to mark each death.
Ms Curran, in an interview, said the campaign to ban legal
highs, also known as party pills, had shown the effectiveness
of people power and family power, the latter involving the
relatives of people who had been adversely affected by taking
party pills.
Those concerned relatives had refused to be discouraged and
had continued to campaign for legal highs to be banned, she
The same kind of people power, and the same determined
approach from the relatives of people who had been killed at
work, could also play a crucial role in helping to improve
New Zealand's poor workplace safety record.
All workplace deaths were, ultimately, avoidable.
But more action was needed to ''join the dots'' and to
develop a more comprehensive and well co-ordinated government
policy approach to workplace safety, she said.
The key to making improvements was to keep working together
and to maintain the focus on the long hours and unsafe
working conditions, low pay and an over-dominant management
approach in forestry and some other industries, she said.
Kris Smith, who is a member of the Unions Otago executive,
also spoke and noted that in Wellington on Sunday, the
Council of Trade Unions had observed International Workers
Memorial Day with more than 100 family members of forestry
workers killed at work.
The 54 deaths in the forestry sector over the past 10 years
had ultimately resulted from the ''deregulation of the
sector'' and the ''wholesale cuts to terms and conditions of
work'' that had hit the forestry sector particularly hard.
Forests used to be largely state-owned and workers were once
employed directly.
Now there were more than 15,000 forest owners and ''an
absolute plethora'' of contractors, subcontractors and forest
worker crews.
Subcontractors were under pressure and the wages of ordinary
workers as a share of profits had fallen from about 70% in
the 1980s to about 20% today.
''Very experienced forestry workers are earning between $16
and $17 an hour with no penal rates and poor provision of
breaks,'' she said.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
Curran would do well not to water down the message that
safety is first. Focus on fatigue, work hours, drug use etc.
Keep the accusations of low pay out of it, especially as they
are a stretch. My mates that are Otago based forestry workers
get paid well and wouldn't do such difficult work for any

So, I have been beating my head against the wall on this for about a week now.
I'm writing an iPhone app that has an sqlite database in it. I'm able to open the database and read from it (I put some test data in there through via the command line / terminal), select specific data, etc. But, what I cannot do is insert into the database from the phone. When I execute sqlite3_exec(...) it returns error code 8 "attempt to write a readonly database."
I had read other questions on here saying that I was using the Main Bundle's database and not the users database, and that the simulator will often times just "let you do it" while on a live device you'll get an error. Well, that's not what's happening in my case - I'm getting this error while running on the simulator. And from what I can tell my code to check the database is exactly as a lot of others recommend it to be.
Here is the code I use to verify the database exists, and if it doesn't I copy it:
// initialize db (if not already)
+(void) checkDatabase {
// setup some variables
Boolean success;
dbName = @"daarma.sqlite";
NSArray *documentPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDirectory, YES);
// I have tried this with both NSUserDirectory and NSUserDomainMask, desn't seem to make a difference
NSString *documentsDir = [documentPath objectAtIndex:0];
dbPath = [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:dbName];
// dbPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"daarma" ofType:@"sqlite"];
// check to see if the database already exists
NSFileManager *fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
success = [fm fileExistsAtPath:dbPath];
if(success) {
NSLog(@"Database exists, returning.");
// if not, we create it
NSLog(@"Creating database in user profile...");
NSString *dbPathFromApp = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:dbName];
[fm copyItemAtPath:dbPathFromApp toPath:dbPath error:nil];
[fm release];
[documentPath release];
[documentsDir release];
When I go to insert data using this:
sqlite3 *db;
int open = sqlite3_open_v2([dbPath UTF8String], &db, -1, NULL);
if(open == 0) {
NSLog(@"open, inserting");
NSString *sql = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"insert into affiliates values('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','11','12')"];
int exec = sqlite3_exec(db, [sql UTF8String], NULL, NULL, NULL);
NSLog(@"exec = %d",exec);
exec returns with the above mentioned error code 8: ""attempt to write a readonly database."
I've also tried the usual restarts, cleaning the project, resetting the simulator data. I even went in to my Simulator directory and deleted all the application data out manually. When I tried to go back in, it recognized the database wasn't there and copied it over, but I still get that error.
I've just noticed that if I do this in the checkDatabase method:
NSError *error;
[fm copyItemAtPath:dbPathFromApp toPath:dbPath error:&error];
NSLog(@"error = %@",error);
it causes the simulator to crash the first go around (after doing a content reset), but each time after that it resumes the above error with no crashes. So maybe I am doing something wrong with my checkDatabase method. ?? :( It never tells me the output of the error message.

Nissan GT-R review
The Nissan GT-R is a technological tour de force that can give the world's fastest supercars a run for their money
This is not a shy, retiring car and it'll certainly attract attention on the move. The looks reflect the GT-R's fairly hefty kerb weight, but despite this the chassis serves up an incredible level of grip, which means huge corner speed and incredible point-to-point pace.
While it can compete with more expensive machinery on the road, inside, the GT-R can't hold a candle to the likes of the Porsche 911. Although it's now comfier than ever, the interior feels cheap in places. You do get a fair amount of equipment for your money, however: 20-inch alloys, cruise control, keyless go, Bluetooth, sat-nav, a Bose sound system and adjustable suspension dampers all come as standard on the entry-level GT-R.
Despite being on sale for more than seven years, the Nissan GT-R is still a performance phenomenon. Over the years the Japanese firm has evolved the engineering underneath the brutish skin to improve the GT-R's performance, handling, ride and efficiency, but the basic recipe has remained the same.
With acceleration to humble much more expensive supercars, the Nissan boasts a powerful 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission and a highly sophisticated four-wheel drive system. It's all controlled by a raft of electronics designed to put the power to the road as quickly and efficiently as possible.
As part of Nissan's philosophy of updating its flagship year after year, the latest version is now more mature than ever, leaving space for the ultra-focused Nissan GT-R Nismo.
The 2015 model year car was revised with modified suspension dampers to improve cornering stability, new tyres for a better ride and more stability, a revised brake setup for better feel and retuned steering to reduce vibration through the wheel. Over the years the GT-R's also gained more sound deadening to further improve refinement and everyday usability. For the 2017 model year there's more power, a heavily revised interior, plus more suspension tweaks to improve day-to-day comfort.
Image 2 of 9
One area where the Nissan might not be so usable is around town, as the car's sheer size and compromised rearward visibility due to its muscular looks mean it's difficult to manoeuvre. The styling is a point of contention, too, as the GT-R's unique design won't be too everyone's tastes.
However, for Nissan performance enthusiasts, the GT-R has almost mythical significance. It's bloodline descends directly from one of Japan's most revered performance models, the Skyline GT-R which was launched in 1969. Over the years, and five generations, the model has a spectacular Touring Car racing record and later models are popular with the tuning and drift crowd too. The last Skyline GT-R was produced in 2002, and although Nissan contemplated carrying on the famous name in its entirety when the current generation car arrived in 2007, they decided to drop the Skyline reference.
Engines, performance and drive
The Nissan GT-R is a genuine technological tour de force, and its advanced Electronic Stability Control system and adaptive dampers can be configured to suit road and track driving. In the most extreme R setting the Nissan demonstrates remarkable agility and can rip along twisting back roads at barely believable speed. Even so, the GT-R can't defy the laws of physics and you're constantly aware of the car's hefty 1,740kg kerbweight.
Revisions to the suspension have resulted in a softer ride around town, while low speed steering assistance has been increased in a bid to improve manoeuvrability. Factor in the extra sound deadening, and the GT-R is now more civilised for day-to-day use. It's not perfect, though. Along with that all-wheel drive system that clunks and groans at low speed, there's plenty of tyre roar on the motorway due to the huge, low-profile tyres.
Thanks to stiffer springs and Billstein dampers, revised suspension geometry and hip-hugging Recaro seats, the driving experience of the even more focused GT-R Nismo is far more extreme and less comfortable than the standard car. As a result, the Nismo always feels more at home on a race track than a road, but that's no real surprise, as it was developed specifically to lap the Nurburgring Nordschliefe as quickly as possible, achieving a bonkers lap time of 7 minutes 8.69 seconds.
Image 8 of 9
The car's 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 engine now delivers 562bhp with 637Nm of torque, and launch control helps it blast from 0-62mph in just 2.7 seconds. Acceleration is brutal thanks to the GT-R's excellent four-wheel drive transmission and six-speed twin-clutch gearbox. The paddleshift set-up provides seamless power delivery and super-smooth gearchanges – it can even be used as a full auto, where it'll shuffle gears around smoothly and without fuss.
The only slight gripe with the transmission is the grumbling noises it produces when manoeuvring at low speed. It doesn't sound too healthy, as the diffs chunter and whine, but reliability is good and this little quirk only adds to the GT-R's focused personality.
Strangely, Nissan doesn't quote a 0-62mph time for the more powerful 592bhp GT-R Nismo, but has hinted that 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds is possible.
MPG, CO2 and running costs
On the face of it, the Nissan GT-R isn't cheap. But look at the enormous performance available, and you'll see that you'd have to spend nearly twice as much to find something that can match it – although there are plenty of slower Porsche 911s that may tempt you for the same money. Running costs will be in the supercar category thanks to expensive tyres, steep servicing and pricey insurance. And you'll need to budget for some big fuel bills, too – Nissan claims 23.9mpg, but this figure will drop to single digits if you utilise the car's full performance potential. 275g/km CO2 mean expensive road tax, too, at £505 per year, as well as high tax bills for company car users.
Insurance groups
There's not much out there that can go meaningfully faster on the Queen's highway, and as a result GT-R owners can expect pretty steep insurance quotes based on a Group 50 rating.
Older generation Nissan Skyline GT-Rs are a certain type of performance enthusiasts dream, because they offer stonking performance, potential for easy upgrades, and they're cheap as chips – partly down to their grey import status.
That heritage, and Nissan's blue-collar brand hasn't exactly helped the values of the current generation of GT-Rs on the used market, and car valuation experts CAP reckon that if you bought one today you'd lose a little more than half your money over three years and 36,000 miles of driving, with a residual value of 48 per cent. Considering the car costs around £80,000 that's quite a sting, but even a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 with a similar price tag will only return a couple of percentage points more – and you'll lose more again on all the extras you had to buy to match the GT-R's spec.
Interior, design and technology
The sheer scale of the Nissan GT-R gives it huge road presence. Even cars costing twice as much will struggle to match the imposing styling of Nissan's angular coupe. It's not exactly pretty, but with four huge exhaust pipes, circular tail-lights and vast alloy wheels, it never fails to turn heads. Its evocative badge doesn't hold the universal appeal of an Italian thoroughbred, but for its fans, there's nothing to rival the appeal of the GT-R logo.
The Nismo model marks itself out with unique front and rear bumpers, deeper side skirts and a carbon boot lid with a huge rear wing attached to it. It's not just for show either, Nissan says the Nismo produces an extra 100kg of downforce compared to the standard model at 186mph.
Image 3 of 9
Less exotic is the interior, which lacks the quality and design you'd expect from a classy coupe but has been vastly improved for the 2017 model year. Some of the plastics look still look and feel a little cheap, but a new touchscreen system has allowed Nissan to tidy up the dash and there's softer nappa leather for a more luxurious feel.
Despite the lacklustre interior design, the car's exterior styling still turns heads – where rivals have released all-new, fresher looking models, the GT-R has remained relatively constant in design terms. But that's no bad thing, as the car still has a legion of loyal fans.
Sat-nav, stereo and infotainment
A touchscreen infotainment system and a comprehensive data logger that records everything from cornering g-forces to lap times, means the GT-R has an impressive techy feel that fits with the Nissan's character. Most of the car's functions are now controlled by a new eight-inch touchscreen, although the system isn't the most intuitive and doesn't have the greatest graphics.
Practicality, comfort and boot space
Given the performance available, the big Nissanis surprisingly practical. However, there's not a lot of storage, with only a glovebox, a pair of cup holders and cramped door pockets for all your odds and ends.
Technology lovers will cherish the multifunction display at the centre of the dashboard, because it provides information on everything from cornering g-forces to turbo boost pressure. However, the switchgear and cabin plastics are better suited to a supermini than a supercar, and the bluff dashboard looks basic. It comes with loads of standard kit, but may lack the sense of occasion you expect from a 196mph sports car.
It's also worth restating that the car's firm ride and noisy tyres mean it's not really a relaxed cruiser. Other potential rivals like the Porsche 911 or Audi R8 offer a greater degree of suspension compliance, while BMW's big M6 Coupe has a completely different feel and is more expensive, but is certainly more luxurious too.
Image 9 of 9
The Nissan GT-R doesn't feel that small and wieldy on the road, and the dimensions back that up. It's 4,710mm long and 1,895mm wide, and 1,370mm tall which makes it a fair bit bigger than a Porsche 911 which measures 4,499mm x 1,852mm x 1,298mm.
Leg room, head room & passenger space
Adults are unlikely to be able to squeeze into the rear seats for anything but a very short trip, but they're fine for children and extra luggage. Occupants up front get plenty of head and legroom, while the driver benefits from lots of seat and wheel adjustment.
There's even a decent 315-litre boot – although it suffers from a high-loading lip. At least it's a usable shape though, with no funny protrusions, and it's big for a supercar. It will easily swallow a pair of suitcases or your golf clubs.
Reliability and Safety
A host of electronic driver aids are designed to keep the Nissan GT-R on the straight and narrow, and you get six airbags as standard. The GT-R hasn't been through the Euro NCAP crash test programme, but with such a super stiff chassis, the big coupe should be a strong performer if the hi-tech electronics fail to foil a crash. That said, with a top speed knocking on the door of 200mph, if you do get into trouble things could get ugly.
However big brakes and grippy tyres mean the GT-R should be able to outperform most things on the road, and with its high reserves of grip and performance the car should remain composed if you need to perform an extreme avoidance manoeuvre.
The GT-R went through extensive testing before it went on sale of course, but there were some early question marks about how the car's complex four-wheel drive transmission would cope once miles begin to build. Some owners of early cars experienced expensive failures of the GT-R's complex twin-clutch gearbox. However, with the more recent models Nissan seems to have cured the problem.
If there are any mechanical maladies, it's encouraging to know that the GT-R is covered by the same three-year warranty as other Nissan models.
Nissan has a number of specialist GT-R dealers trained to maintain this hi-tech machine. Servicing intervals depend on how you drive the car, but at the very least you'll be visiting your dealer once a year or every 12,000 miles.

If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
It depends on the way your data is distributed - if you can make some assumptions.
One of the best links I've found to understand when to use a bubble sort - or some other sort, is this - an animated view on sorting algorithms:
Bubble sort is (provably) the fastest sort available under a very specific circumstance. It originally became well known primarily because it was one of the first algorithms (of any kind) that was rigorously analyzed, and the proof was found that it was optimal under its limited circumstance.
Consider a file stored on a tape drive, and so little random access memory (or such large keys) that you can only load two records into memory at any given time. Rewinding the tape is slow enough that doing random access within the file is generally impractical -- if possible, you want to process records sequentially, no more than two at a time.
Back when tape drives were common, and machines with only a few thousand (words|bytes) of RAM (of whatever sort) were common, that was sufficiently realistic to be worth studying. That circumstance is now rare, so studying bubble sort makes little sense at all -- but even worse, the circumstance when it's optimal isn't taught anyway, so even when/if the right situation arose, almost nobody would realize it.
As far as being the fastest on an extremely small and/or nearly sorted set of data, while that can cover up the weakness of bubble sort (to at least some degree), an insertion sort will essentially always be better for either/both of those.
It doesn't get used much in the real world. It's a good learning tool because it's easy to understand and fast to implement. It has bad (O(n^2)) worst case and average performance. It has good best case performance when you know the data is almost sorted, but there are plenty of other algorithms that have this property, with better worst and average case performance.
I came across a great use for it in an optimisation anecdote recently. A program needed a set of sprites sorted in depth order each frame. The spites order wouldn't change much between frames, so as an optimisation they were bubble sorted with a single pass each frame. This was done in both directions (top to bottom and bottom to top). So the sprites were always almost sorted with a very efficient O(N) algorithm.
It's probably the fastest for tiny sets.
Speaking of education. A link to the last scene of sorting out sorting, it's amazing. A must-see.
It's good for small data sets - which is why some qsort implementations switch to it when the partition size gets small. But insertion sort is still faster, so there's no good reason to use it except as a teaching aid.
we recently used bubblesort in an optimality proof for an algorithm. We had to transform an arbitrary optimal solution represented by a sequence of objects into a solution that was found by our algorithm. Because our algorithm was just "Sort by this criteria", we had to prove that we can sort an optimal solution without making it worse. In this case, bubble sort was a very good algorithm to use, because it has the nice invariant of just swapping two elements that are next to each other and are in the wrong order. Using more complicated algorithms there would have melted brains, I think.
Bubble sort is easy to implement and it is fast enough when you have small data sets.
Bubble sort is fast enough when your set is almost sorted (e.g. one or several elements are not in the correct positions), in this case you better to interlace traverses from 0-index to n-index and from n-index to 0-index. Using C++ it can be implemented in the following way:
It can be good if swap of two adjacent items is chip and swap of arbitrary items is expensive.
Donald Knuth, in his famous "The Art of Computer Programming", concluded that "the bubble sort seems to have nothing to recommend it, except a catchy name and the fact that it leads to some interesting theoretical problems".
Since this algorithm is easy to implement it is easy to support, and it is important in real application life cycle to reduce effort for support.
I think it's a good "teaching" algorithm because it's very easy to understand and implement. It may also be useful for small data sets for the same reason (although some of the O(n lg n) algorithms are pretty easy to implement too).
I used to use it in some cases for small N on the TRS-80 Model 1. Using a for loop, one could implement the complete sort on one program line.
Other than that, it is good for teaching, and sometimes for lists that are nearly in sorted order.
I once used it for a case where the vast majority of the time it would be sorting two items.
The next time I saw that code, someone had replaced it with the library sort. I hope they benchmarked it first!
It's quick and easy to code and (nearly impossible to do wrong). It has it's place if you're not doing heavy lifting and there's no library sorting support.
It is the sort I use most often actually. (In our project, we cannot use any external libraries.)
It is useful when I know for sure that data set is really small, so I do not care one bit about speed and want shortest and simplest code.
Bubble is not the lowest you can go. Recently, I was in a situation when I needed to sort exactly three elements. I wrote something like this:
I can't resist responding to any remarks on bubble sort by mentioning the faster (seems to be O(nlogn), but this is not really proven) Comb Sort. Note that Comb sort is a bit faster if you use a precomputed table. Comb sort is exactly the same as bubble sort except that it doesn't initially start by swapping adjacent elements. It's almost as easy to implement/understand as bubble sort.
Oh yes, it is a good selection mechanism. If you find it in code written by someone, you don't hire him.
Mostly nothing. Use QuickSort or SelectionSort instead...!

I've been wondering about the tag synonyms system - the mechanism seems quite robust, but I'm missing the ability to define a relation between tag A and a combination of tags B+C. A sort of one-to-many / many-to-one synonym mapping. Couldn't find this discussed anywhere here.
For example, we have the graph-algorithm tag, which is often useful but not extremely common, and then there are also his older brothers graph and algorithm. Either of them alone is not the same thing of course, but shouldn't questions marked with the combination of both pop out when we search for the graph-algorithm?
And on the other hand - shouldn't questions marked as graph-algorithm get displayed when searching for either graph or algorithm alone? Or perhaps only when doing a combined search somehow?
This could be pretty useful, especially given the limit on tags. Would love to hear your opinions, maybe it's just over-engineering this.

I Was a Rat! (Hardcover)
"I was a rat!"
So insists a scruffy boy named Roger. Maybe it's true. But what is he now? A terrifying monster running wild in the sewers? The Daily Scourge newspaper is sure of it. A lucrative fairground freak? He is to Mr. Tapscrew. A championship wriggler and a budding thief? That's the hope of Billy and his gang. A victim of "Rodent Delusion"? So says the hospital doctor.
Or just an ordinary small boy, though a little ratty in his habits? Only three people believe this version of the story. And it may take a royal intervention--and a bit of magic--to convince the rest of the world. . . .
Set against the backdrop of a royal wedding--with a pertinent parody of the press--here's Philip Pullman's youngest, funniest novel to date: a magical weaving of humor, fairy tale, and adventure.
About the Author
Philip Pullman was born in Norwich, England, in 1946. He has won many awards, including the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Book of the Year Award. His acclaimed trilogy, His Dark Materials, has been published in thirty-nine languages. . The Amber Spyglass, the trilogy s astonishing finale, was the first children s book in history to win the Whitbread Book of the Year Award. It was also nominated for the Booker Prize. When he is not writing books, Pullman enjoys drawing, woodworking, and playing the piano. He lives with his family in Oxford, England.
Kevin Hawkes has illustrated more than forty books for children, included the "New York Times" bestseller "The Library Lion", "Weslandia", Michael Ian Black s "A Pig Parade Is a Terrible Idea", and "Santa in Cincinatti". He lives in Southern Maine, where he can be found wandering aimlessly in his garden, unless forced indoors, where he creates imaginary landscapes with cobalt blue skies.
Praise For…
"Phillip Pullman's tale is fast and clever."
-New York Times Book Review Sunday, May 14, 2000

American Indian educator, author to speak
American Indian teacher and author A.C. Ross, also known as Ehanamani ("walks among" ), will speak at 10:30 a.m. Oct. 27 at the Center for Inner Peace, 740 W. 15th St.
Ehanamani worked for 27 years in education, from K-12 teacher, principal and superintendent to college professor and department chairman.
He has lectured internationally on issues related to cultural understanding.
He will discuss experiences shared in his book, "Ehanamani: Walks Among," which will be available for a $10 donation.
Ehanamani is the name Ross was given by his parents as members of the Lakota Sioux Tribe, in which he is an elder and Sun Dance chief.
He was named after his paternal great-great-grandfather, a Santee spiritual leader who lived during the Minnesota cultural uprisings of 1862.
Although the elder Ehanamani had converted to Christianity, he continued to practice Lakota ceremonies and traditions because of the spiritual parallels he found in both traditions.
Call the center at 543-2349 for more information.

All ears in the UK were tuned into an event that did not happen. Cameron prepared another wishy-washy speech, postponed yet again today, this time because of a hostage crisis in Algeria.Please consider the sad saga of Cameron's cursed speech on Europe.
The great Europe speech was initially meant to be given before Xmas. It was put off, amidst reports that there were still deep arguments about its contents.Monday January 21st was pencilled in, until somebody pointed out that this was the day of Obama's inaugural address. How about January 22nd? No such luck: this would coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Elysée Treaty between France and Germany. How could Cameron be so tactless? OK then – January 23rd. No again, that's the day that the World Economic Forum kicks off in Davos.Eventually the Cameron team settled on a day and a location: January 18th in Amsterdam. A Friday is not ideal, in terms of the news cycle – but it would have to do.The prime minister might now be wishing that the whole ill-starred project could be quietly called off – particularly since some of the speech's contents have already been trailed. More than ever, the prime minister is in a no-win situation. Expectations have been ramped up beyond Tantric levels. Reality can only be an anti-climax.Unfortunately, it is probably too late for Cameron to abandon the whole speech. It will have to be given. Now, they just have to find a date …

I just need a browser that can run sites using ActiveX on Linux. Are there any?
I just need a browser that can run sites using ActiveX on Linux. Are there any?
From Firefox Help:
So your best bet would be to use IE via Wine.
ActiveX is for Microsoft and Microsoft only.
Firefox has its own engine to incorporate additional functionality i.e. plugins
My experience with the FF IE engine plugins (on Win machines) to provide IE functionality have been that it relies on the presence of an installed instance of IE ... so if IE is not installed or broken, those "IE engine" plugins wont work.
There are some activeX apps I've had to use, and have had my problems using them in certain machines and their installations of IE, so tried the FF IE engine plugins, same exact problems. Once the problems are finally fixed on IE itself, the FF IE engine plugins finally worked.
So it's all brought me to understand that a working IE is needed on the machine for the FF IE engine plugin to work correctly.
So Wine and IE seemed to be the answer.
Have you tried IE in Wine? I have to do this for my IP cams that only work with ActiveX. ies4linux is an application that may help. ies4linux can be installed in both Debian-based and rpm-based operating systems. To install ies4linux in Ubuntu run the following commands1 from the terminal:
Now you can try it by typing

Identity Theft
How to Secure your Identity from Thieves
The Royal Oak Police Department has had several calls concerning Identity Theft.
Identity theft is when a thief steals an individuals' identity by stealing credit cards, checks, bank accounts and personal information, such as Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers and employment histories. Armed with your personal information, a thief can buy new cars, empty your bank accounts, and ultimately, steal all of your assets in your name!
The good news is that, together, we can prevent this insidious crime.
- Never give out your Social Security number, driver's license, any bank or credit account numbers or other identifying information unless you know the person or organization or you initiated contact.
- Treat checkbooks, ATM cards, credit cards, and credit card offers as if they are cash - protect them!
- Before discarding, you should shred all personal information.
- Notify financial institutions and credit card companies before relocating to a new home or care facility.
- Have your mail held at the post office when going on vacation or into the hospital.
- Cancel all unneeded credit cards.
- Say "NO" to credit card offers by calling 1-888-5-opt-out (567-8688)
- Make copies of all credit cards that are in your wallet and keep them in a safe place. This is in case you need to report a credit card stolen or any other kind of identity theft.
- Review financial and credit card statements each month for unauthorized activity.
- Obtain and review a copy of your credit report each year.
The Three Major Credit Reporting Agencies:
To order a report call: (888) 397-3742
To report fraud call: (888) EXPERIAN
To order a report call: (800) 685-1111
To report fraud call: (800) 525-6285
To order a report call: (800) 888-4213
To report a fraud call: (800) 680-7289
Per the Federal Trade Commission as of March 1, 2005, Michigan Residents can obtain a FREE copy of your credit reports. Go to the following website for more information: www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/credit/ycr_free_reports.htm
If you are a victim of identity theft, notify the Michigan Attorney General's Office at 1-800-24-ABUSE (242-2873)
The key to protecting yourself and the people you love from identity theft is to prevent it from happening in the first place.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact community policing at (248) 246-3424.

Tybalt Redfern awoke in utter darkness, after what seemed like an endless time spent out cold. He shifted slightly, then finding that he was tied up; not cruelly, but securely, with a rope that try as he might, he could not break free from. This seemed to rule out Janeseh, who would never bother with restraints. Why would he, when he knew he could control Ty without the need for them?
The pattern after an attack by Janeseh always followed the same lines for Ty. He'd go off, into the rougher parts of the megacity, and try to rid himself of the hateful memories by any means possible. It was getting harder and harder for Ty to be able to deal with the abuse, and once he'd attempted to break free from it by telling Janeseh that he wasn't going to put up with it any more, and that Janeseh would have to find another victim. Janeseh had responded by saying that if that was going to be the case, then he'd have to seek out Ty's little brother, Macbeth.
Of course, Ty could not let that happen; he'd never be able to live with himself if he knew that he'd let that monster loose on his brother. So instead, he tried to live with the abuse. This was something new, tho. Ty struggled futilely in his bonds, but could not break loose. There was someone else who had captured him, and he didn't know who it was, or what their plans for him were.
Lupe walked down the street, all her senses on alert. These senses were more sensitive than those of a human, which was natural for a werewolf. Lupe lived in a part of Zion which had many were families living closely together; her own family, which consisted of her parents and older brother also lived there. Like her, Lupe's brother Dolph was part of Greywatch, which was concerned with the defence of the megacity. This suited both of them; neither of the siblings would have liked to be idle.
The werewolf checked her watch and quickened her pace. There had been a summons to Headquarters; something about a new demon group forming, and all the watches were asked to attend the meeting. Of course, it wouldn't be her or any of her group who went after the demons. That was reserved for the Nightwatch group. And there were a few members of that group who were skilled in dealing with such an issue.
One was Othello, who was a pact bearer. This was something which had been passed down from his father; his father Mordred had made a deal for power and immortality, and had been turned into a vampire like creature, as had his wife. There was also Gabrielle, who Lupe knew slightly. If she was to be honest, she'd prefer it if Gabrielle was sent on the mission. In any case, there was no use in worrying about it now she had reached the Headquarters. Lupe walked up the stairs and entered the building.

From large petrochemical units to tiny pharmaceutical pilot plants, day-to-day operations depend upon providing compressed gases in a controlled, safe and environmentally conscious manner. Correct gas handling also can improve process efficiency.05/08/2007
Cut column energy consumption
With increasing energy prices and public sensitivity to energy consumption, many plants are paying more attention to optimizing distillation. Simple and low-risk operational changes often can provide substantial savings.05/08/2007
Regional hardware inventories facilitate column repairs and turnarounds
When it comes to providing hardware and equipment for routine column repairs and maintenance, or major turnarounds, few companies are as capable as Sulzer Chemtech USA.04/10/2007
The evolution of plant automation
Understanding the purpose of control and safety systems helps users ensure each is appropriately optimized. The duties of the SIS are to protect the people, environment and assets against unsafe conditions.03/03/2007
Plants get help in boosting reliability
More and more companies are placing greater emphasis on maintenance and seeking help from vendors to boost the effectiveness of their efforts, as some recent major investment decisions demonstrate. Many automation companies now are benefiting by building up asset management services alongside process control capabilities.02/26/2007
Debunk plant myths about diagnostics
Your current control system can probably do more than you think. Everybody can agree that diagnostics are a good thing they can identify problems early, and keep the plant running at peak performance. Learn how your existing control systems and analog instruments can deliver diagnostic capabilities, at a fraction of the cost of system or instrument replacements.02/08/2007
