You can't get far in the world of Apple without an Apple ID. Happily it's incredibly easy to set up an Apple account. You then use your Apple ID to access a plethora of different services, such as iCloud, Find My iPhone, iTunes Match, and Apple Music as well as make purchases from the iTunes Store and download podcasts using the Podcasts App.
If you own Apple devices then sooner or later you're likely to end up with an Apple ID. This mostly consists of a single login, your Apple ID - usually your name followed by iCloud.com, me.com, or mac.com; and a password.
In this article we explain not only how to set up an Apple ID, but also how to find out what your Apple ID is, how to find (or change) your Apple password, and how to get the most from your Apple ID account. Last of all, we look at the terminal option: how to delete your Apple ID permanently.
What's an Apple ID?
An Apple ID is your passport into the ever-expanding Apple universe, and it takes the form of an email address and a password.
You'll need an Apple ID for everything from booking an appointment at the local Apple Store's Genius Bar, to making a FaceTime call, to setting-up Apple Pay, to buying music, movies and apps. An Apple ID is also used to access your iCloud data and services, which includes tools like iMessage, email, Reminders, Notes, Calendars, Photos storage, and so on.
More than this, however, is the fact that the Apple ID links your Apple devices or computers to each other, and to you. By logging in to Apple hardware with your Apple ID, you're telling Apple that it belongs to you, and that your shared data, apps and services can be made accessible on it.
It's possible to use a Mac or iOS device without an Apple ID but it'd be a significantly diminished experience. For example, without an Apple ID you can't log in to the App Store, so won't be able to download new apps on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
In fact, if you own anything Apple then you almost certainly already have an Apple ID. If not then read on, although you might like to read on in any case to learn more about what an Apple ID can do for you.
How do I get an Apple ID?
You can sign up for an Apple ID by visiting Apple's ID section of its website here and clicking Create An Apple ID.
https://appleid.apple.com is your gateway to managing and creating Apple IDs online
There's no requirement to have an Apple product to link the ID to, allowing anybody to create an account in preparation for purchasing – or even if you're merely a curious Windows or Linux user.
A free unlinked account provides limited access to iCloud, in order to use the online versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote, and you'll get 1GB of free iCloud storage to boot. However, aside from accessing this storage space from the aforementioned web-based apps, you can't access it any other way - for example, via the iCloud Windows for Windows app - unless you first link the Apple ID to a Mac or iOS device by signing in there.
If you don't link your Apple ID to an iOS device or Mac then you're limited to accessing online iWork tools
When creating an Apple ID you need to provide an email address for your username. Rather perversely, this can't be for an existing email account that's provided by Apple, and it can't be an address previously used for an Apple ID.
Don't be tempted to provide false details here because a confirmation email will be sent to the address, and you'll need to click the link within it before your Apple ID is opened for business.
Further down the application form you're required to enter a second, different email address for rescue purposes, such as resetting your password. This address will be used very rarely and this time around the address can be one already used for an Apple ID. You could provide the email address of your spouse, for example, although again there's a requirement to confirm by clicking a link in an email sent to the address.
To create an Apple ID you'll need to provide your date of birth, fill in some security questions, and give your mailing address. Don't be tempted to enter false details here either because Apple will be using all the details later to confirm you are who you say you are.
In particular, ensure you enter the correct country details because Apple runs separate Music, Movie and App Stores for different territories. If you live in Birmingham but pretend to be living in Antigua then it will become tricky when you come to enter credit card details in order to make purchases. Not only will your billing address not be within that beautiful Caribbean island, but you'll also be limited to items sold through Antigua's local iTunes and Apps Stores.
Signing in with an Apple ID
Actually signing in with the Apple ID you created is simple.
Sigining into Apple ID on a Mac
iTunes: Click the Sign In link at the top right of the app window.
App Store: Click the Sign In entry under the Quick Links listing at the right of the window.
iCloud: Open System Preferences, click the iCloud icon, and then provide your login details.
iBooks: To read purchases click the Store menu entry, then Authorise This Computer. To sign in to purchase books, open the iBooks Store (click the Store button at the top left if viewing your library), then click the Sign In entry under the Quick Links listing at the right of the program window.
To activate iCloud on a Mac you'll need to open System Preferences, then click the iCloud icon
Sigining into Apple ID on an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch:
iTunes Store, App Store: Scroll to the bottom of the listing and click the Sign In button.
iBooks: You'll be prompted to login as soon as you start the app. If you opt not to, you'll be prompted to sign in should you attempt to make a purchase in the store or view your existing purchases.
iCloud: When setting-up your iOS device you'll be prompted to login to iCloud but should you wish to do so later, open the Settings app and click the iCloud link.
Using two (or more) Apple IDs
Although creating an Apple ID also creates an iCloud account, Apple lets you use two separate Apple IDs concurrently – one just for accessing iCloud, and one for everything else, such as purchasing apps, music, movies and iBooks. This can be wise because sometimes your main Apple ID used for purchasing can be locked because of fraud. Additionally, some people just don't like having a credit card linked to their iCloud account.
There's a very important note here: Apple does not let you merge two (or more) Apple IDs into a single account, or transfer purchases or data between Apple IDs. Additionally, once an Apple ID is logged into iTunes Store on a Mac or iOS device, you can't log in with a different Apple ID for a 90 day period.(You can luckily add multiple Apple IDs to an Apple TV so your family can share that device without the 90 day limitation.)
In other words, Apple is pretty keen for you to use a single Apple ID. It's certainly the least problematic option. However, when setting-up an iOS device you'll be offered the option of inputting two different Apple IDs – one for iCloud, and one for iTunes (see screenshot below) - and on a Mac you can enter different Apple IDs within iTunes, the Mac App Store, iBooks, and the iCloud configuration panel within System Preferences.
Apple lets you use two Apple IDs on your iOS device, although frowns upon the practice
Creating an Apple ID for a child
Children under the age of 13 are unable to create Apple IDs themselves, although a parent or guardian can create one for them as part of the Family Sharing system, detailed below. This also allows a parent or guardian to put a credit card against the account for the child to use to make purchases - supervised, of course.
Once you've Family Sharing setup, on your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Family, and then Add Family Member. then click the link marked Create An Apple ID For a Child. On a Mac, open System Preferences, click the iCloud icon, then click Manage Family. Click the plus button at the bottom left, then select Create An Apple ID For A Child Who Doesn't Have An Account.
Using the Family Sharing element of iCloud you can create Apple IDs for children under 13 years old
Notably, you can't setup a child's Apple ID if there's no credit or debit card associated with your own Apple ID. You will need to provide the card's CCV number as part of the setup process. Apple says this is in place to conform with online child protection laws in that it provides verifiable proof of your home address.
Securing your Apple ID
Once you've setup your Apple ID the first thing to do is secure it, and this is done by setting-up two-step verification (sometimes called two-factor authentication, or TFA).
Doing this means that you won't be able to use your Apple ID for purchases on a new device or Mac, or for iCloud login, or make changes to your account details, without entering a one-time code that Apple sends you. The code isn't usually required in other circumstances and on Apple hardware upon which you've already confirmed your details.
You can choose for the code to be texted to your mobile phone (and not necessarily an iPhone), or sent to one of your iOS devices. You'll also be given a failsafe recovery key that can be entered if two-step authentication isn't possible – perhaps if you've switched mobile numbers, or sold the iOS device.
The idea behind two-step verification is that while a hacker might feasibly get details of your Apple ID and password from somewhere – perhaps a Trojan virus, or fake website – it's unlikely they'll also get physical access to your phone or iOS device in order to receive the authentication code. Without it, they won't be able to do anything significant.
To setup two-step verification, again visit the Apple ID website here but this time click Manage Your Apple ID, and login when prompted. Then click the Password and Security link at the left, and answer the security questions to proceed. Then click Get Started under the Two-Step Verification heading.
Two-step verification makes it virtually impossible to hack your Apple ID account, so should be considered mandatory
After a handful of caveats explaining how two-step works, you come to the first setup step, which is to add trusted device. At the very least you'll need to register one mobile number that can receive texts (that is, SMS) - and that's pretty much every mobile since the mid-90s. Again, don't enter false details here because Apple will test it immediately by sending you a text with a number you must type to continue setup.
Following this you can add a second mobile number - a useful insurance measure - or if you've already signed in with the Apple ID on any iOS devices you can choose from them in the listing beneath. These devices don't necessarily need to be able to receive texts because Apple sends the two-factor codes magically, via a feature built into iOS. The code pops-up in a dialog box when requested.
Click Continue when you're ready, and you'll be provided with a recovery key - a series of letters and numbers. This needs to be written down somewhere secure. We suggest the back page of a favourite book. Don't skip writing down the key because in the very next step Apple will ask you to type it in! Once you've done that, however, and confirmed the subsequent second set of caveats, two-step verification will be enabled.
From now on using your Apple ID on a new Mac or iOS device, or if logging into the iCloud website, will pop-up a second authentication box after you've entered your password, asking you to enter the code that's been sent to you.
Two-step verification makes it impossible to change your Apple ID details without providing a code sent to a trusted device
Using app-specific passwords for non-Apple products
If after setting-up two-step verification you need to use your Apple ID with third-party software – for example, a non-Apple app that receives and sends iCloud email – you'll need to create an app-specific password.
This is because the app most likely won't offer an option for two-step verification, and without that you simply can't login. The app-specific password is entered within the app instead of your usual Apple ID password.
You'll need to generate individual app-specific passwords for each and every app that's incompatible with two-step verification. You can share one amongst several apps.
To do so, again open the Passwords and Security section of the Apple ID website and click the link. Enter a name for the app (this is for your reference only), and then you'll be provided with the password.
Generating an app-specific password will be required for apps or websites that aren't compatible with two-step verification
Notably, app-specific passwords can be deactivated at any time, which essentially will deny that app further access. For example, if you used an app-specific password to access iCloud email via Microsoft Outlook on a Windows laptop, and that laptop got stolen, you could revoke the password and thereby stop the thief accessing or sending emails. To do so, click the History link under the Generate an App-Specific Password heading, and click Revoke alongside the app name.
Editing your Apple ID information
Changing most details of your Apple ID account is as simple as clicking the Manage Your Apple ID button on the Apple ID webpage, logging in, and clicking Edit alongside whatever detail you'd like to chance.
You can also do this on a Mac by clicking the Account Details button within the iCloud section of System Preferences, or on an iOS device by tapping your name and icon entry within the General > iCloud section of the Settings app. To change any details, just tap the Edit entry at the top right.
Adding payment details to your Apple ID
Should you attempt to buy something, or even download something that's free, then you'll be walked through the process of adding a payment card – either a debit or credit card.
If you don't want to add a card then simply click or tap the None entry in the list of possible payment types. For most everyday tasks there isn't a mandatory requirement to have a payment card associated with your Apple ID.
There's no strict requirement to enter associate a credit or debit card with your Apple ID, and if asked you can simply click None
However, you can add a card in advance the following ways:
iPhone/iPad/iPod touch: Open the iTunes Store app, then scroll to the bottom and tap your Apple ID. Tap the Payment Information entry in the list, and input the details.
Mac/Windows: Open iTunes, tap the Music icon at the top left, then tap the Account entry under the Music Quick Links heading at the right. Tap the Edit entry alongside the Payment Information link, and input the details.
Family Sharing: Sharing an Apple ID
Once upon a time some people created an Apple ID in and then allowed other family members or friends to use it to log into their own device. Thus, an app could be bought once and used on multiple devices, as could music and movies.
Mums and dads also shared their Apple ID with their children, who were too young to have a payment card on their account in order to make in-app purchases.
Sharing in this way never worked satisfactorily. Unwanted data synced across the shared devices, such as iMessages, but in any case it's become somewhat redundant since Apple introduced Family Sharing. This lets up to six separate Apple IDs share apps and iTunes purchases with no strings attached.
As its name suggests Family Sharing really is built for families. For example, it creates a shared family calendar, reminder list and photo stream that you can't unsubscribe from. Any member of the family can track the location of another member via Find my Friends and within iMessage – although each person must first opt to be tracked like this.
Family Sharing provides many benefits, including a shared calendar that all the family can use to organise their lives
There are also benefits. The head of the household – or Family Organizer, as Apple dubs him/her – can create accounts for kids under 13, as described previously. They can add a payment card that family members request to use. Annoyingly this card has to be a credit card - a particular frustration to people that don't have one.
Setting up Family Sharing is easy. The person who elects to be the Family Organizer
iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch: Open the Settings app, then tap the iCloud entry in the list. Then tap Set Up Family Sharing. Follow the instructions and be sure to provide the Apple ID of each family member when requested. In future to add somebody, repeat these steps and tap Add Family Member.
Mac: Open System Preferences, click the iCloud icon, then click the Set Up Family button. Follow the instructions. In future to add somebody, again open iCloud within System Preferences and click the Manage Family button. Then click the plus button at the bottom left beneath the list of family members.
Family Members can hide purchases from others. Typically this is done by tapping and holding purchases within iTunes (or right-clicking on a Mac).
How to reset Apple ID: I forgot my Apple ID password or password isn't recognised
If you forget your Apple ID password then visit Apple's iForgot website and enter your Apple ID username. If you haven't activated two-step verification then you'll be able to choose to reset your password by either responding to an email sent to the addresses you provided when you signed-up for the Apple OR by providing answers to the three security questions you were asked when creating the Apple ID. You'll also need to provide your date of birth when using the latter option.
As its name suggests, the https://iforgot.apple.com website lets you reset your password, or discover your Apple ID
When choosing the email reset option, note that you only have three hours to respond before the reset request is cancelled.
If you have two-step verification activated then you'll be prompted to enter the recovery key created during activation of two-step verification. Once you do, a verification code will subsequently be sent to one of your trusted devices, or texted to your phone. Without both this code you can't reset your password.
If you've lost your two-step verification code as well as forgetting your password then you're out of luck. Apple says the only way forward is to start from scratch with a new Apple ID. Even Apple's support network is unable to verify a user's identity.
How to reset Apple ID: I forgot my Apple ID or Apple ID username isn't recognised
If you've forgotten what your Apple ID username is in addition to your password then visit the iForgot page and click the Forgot Your Apple ID? link. You'll then be prompted to provide your first and last names, and the email address used for the account (as well as older email addresses also registered with your Apple ID, which can be useful if you're also unable to access your email). A password reset email will then be sent to the email addresses used for the account.
If two-factor verification is setup, you will again be prompted to enter the recovery key, as in the steps above describing forgetting your password. Once again, there is no way of bypassing this.
How to reset Apple ID: My Apple ID account is locked
If you find your account is disabled or locked for security reasons – perhaps you've tried too many incorrect passwords – then following the steps above to change your password via iForgot will also have the effect of unlocking the account. However, note that Apple sometimes locks accounts for 24 hours if too many unsuccessful password attempts are made, and the only option is to wait.
Again, if you have two-factor verification enabled then you'll need to provide it in addition to a code sent or texted to one of your devices.
How to delete your Apple ID permanently
In light of ongoing privacy concerns, many people are starting to rethink having so many different accounts. Apple is much more careful about who it shares information with that other services, as this open letter from Tim Cook makes clear. But if you've decided that you don't want to leave an account in Apple's hands then this guide will help.
Read next: Too many passwords; iCloud keychain will help
You don't need an Apple ID to use any Apple device. Your Mac computer will continue to work, as will your iPhone and iPad. However, any content that you have downloaded from Apple requires your Apple ID to work. So you won't be able to play movies you've bought from the iTunes Store. You won't be able to use apps downloaded from the App Store, or install new apps on an iOS device. But you can still install and run programs in OS X downloaded outside of the App Store.
You can't actually delete your Apple ID, this Apple Forum goes into detail. But what you can do is remove all of your information from Apple. So if you've decided that enough is enough, and you want to get rid of all your Apple ID completely, then follow this guide.
Delete your Apple ID from your computer
The first step is to remove your Apple ID from your Mac computer. Follow these steps:
- Open iTunes in OS X.
- Choose Store > View Account.
- Enter your password.
- Click Manage Devices under iTunes in the Cloud.
- Click Remove next to each device associated with your account.
- Click Done.
- Choose Store > Deauthorize This Computer.

Delete Apple ID from your iOS devices
Now you need to remove your Apple ID from all of your iOS devices. You'll need to follow these steps for each Apple iOS device (iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch) using your Apple ID:
- Tap Settings.
- Open iCloud.
- Tap on your account name at the top.
- Enter your password.
- Tap Devices
- Tap on each Device and choose Remove From Account.
- If you have Family Sharing set up, tap Family and tap Remove in each member of your family.

- Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store.
- Tap Apple ID and Sign Out.
- Tap Settings > Music.
- Scroll to the bottom and tap the Apple ID under Home Sharing. Tap Sign Out.
- Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
- Tap your iCloud account under Accounts and Sign Out.
- Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Recieve. Tap the Apple ID and Sign Out.
- Return to the Settings and tap Game Center. Tap Apple ID and Sign Out.
- Tap Settings > Facetime. Tap Apple ID and Sign Out.
How to get Apple to delete your account
The answer seems to be that you currently can't get Apple to delete your accounts (or at least there is no permanent and automated way to do this (please let us know in the comments if you know otherwise).
What you can do, however, is edit your personal information to make it a little less personal. Once you've removed your Apple ID from all your devices you can change your name, address and other personal details
Follow these steps to change your Apple ID information:
- Visit https://appleid.apple.com.
- Enter your Apple ID and Password.
- Click Manage your Apple ID.
- Click Unlock Account if requested (and answer security questions).
- Tap Edit next to Account.
- Change your name and tap Save.
- Tap Edit next to Payment.
- Remove your Address and card details. Tap Save
- Tap Phone Number, enter a new area code and number and tap Save.
- Tap Sign Out in the top right corner.
You should now have removed your Apple ID from all your devices, and changed all of your permanent information. That Apple ID is now toasted. Remember that you won't be able to access or use any purchases or apps connected to that Apple ID without authorizing it on your devices again.

Black, Yet White: A Hated Color in Zimbabwe
By DONALD G. McNEIL Jr.
Published: February 9, 1997
HARARE, Zimbabwe— John M. Makumbe is a professor of political science. Richard Nyathi is chief librarian for a Government ministry. Stanley S. Gunda is a senior financial officer in another ministry. Not so long ago, they might have been killed at birth.
Even today, pregnant women refuse to shake their hands. On crowded buses they sit apart. On the street they see mothers point and warn their children, ''If you don't behave, I'll let that monkey get you.''
Messrs. Makumbe, Nyathi and Gunda are albinos. In Africa, far more than on any other continent, that is a lifelong curse. They lack the gene that codes the skin pigment melanin, and they are very nearsighted. As white-skinned men in a black society, they are shunned and feared as the products of witchcraft, taunted by children and drunks as ''peeled potatoes,'' ''monkeys'' and ''ghosts.''
There is a stereotype that all albinos are intelligent and accomplished, as these three men are. But Professor Makumbe said successful albinos were ''a teeny-weeny minute number.'' Most, he added, languish at home without education because they cannot see the blackboard at school or because their parents, told such children die young, will not pay for their schooling.
In parts of Africa, albinos rarely live beyond 40. Mr. Nyathi has already lost a 30-year-old brother to skin cancer. And Professor Makumbe said he thought ''many just die of frustration -- of broken hearts.''
With a handful of other albinos, Professor Makumbe has founded the Zimbabwe Albino Trust. He dreams of a powerful human rights organization that battles prejudice on albinos' behalf. But his first goals are almost pathetically humble: to raise enough money to buy sunscreen lotion and spectacles for albinos who cannot afford them, and to raise $20,000 for a survey to count albinos in Zimbabwe and see what they need most.
In the United States, about 1 person in 20,000 is an albino, according to doctors at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, which has a clinic that studies the genetics of albinism. The condition is more common among blacks than among whites, and almost unknown among Asians.
In parts of Nigeria, as many as 1 in 1,100 are albino; in parts of South Africa the incidence is 1 in 1,800. It varies sharply from country to country and tribe to tribe, said Jennifer Kromberg, an expert on albinism at the South African Institute for Medical Research. For instance, in South Africa it is twice as high among Tswana as among Zulu, she said, because Tswana encourage marriage between cousins while Zulu forbid it.
Estimates for Zimbabwe vary. One done early last year found that 1 schoolchild in 4,700 was albino. An earlier one found nearly twice that rate in Harare.
Albinism comes from a recessive gene and must be inherited from both parents. Not all children in affected families are albino. Mr. Nyathi, for example, has two albino siblings, while his parents and eight other siblings are black.
The condition may skip generations, reappearing to cause confusion and ruin marriages.
Lloyd Thuchila, a pipe fitter, said his father had left his mother shortly after he was born. ''He said, 'Why do I have to be the one with an albino child?' '' Mr. Thuchila said. '' 'No one in my family has an albino.' ''
Professor Makumbe, who is married to a black woman and has three black children, said that when his first child was born, one of his colleagues at the University of Zimbabwe asked if the baby was ''black, white or colored.''
''He's a physicist,'' Mr. Makumbe said. ''He should know better.''
Many men accuse their wives of infidelity when albinos are born. Some even accuse them of having had sex with a tokolosh, a devil's imp who is said to be produced by witchcraft from a tree root and to live under beds.
Superstitions are strong in rural Zimbabwe. The practice of killing suspected witches survives, and albino children were once smothered at birth. The belief that adult albinos do not die, but simply vanish, is still widely held.
There is also a lingering belief that albinism is somehow contagious. Many Africans admit to spitting when they see an albino, to ward off the ''spell.'' At parties, Mr. Gunda said, people hesitate to shake his hand. Some albinos say they bring their own food on group outings to avoid embarrassing incidents.
''When my nephew got a rash when he was 18,'' Professor Makumbe recalled, ''my own sister said, 'You must have got this from your Uncle John.' ''
Professor Kromberg said surveys she had done among young albino adults in Soweto, South Africa, found that they were rarely shunned on buses or in the classroom but did have much lower marriage rates and believed that they would have difficulty finding work. She said she had come across anecdotal evidence that black children were reluctant to share food with albino classmates.
More disturbingly, she said studies she had done in the 1980's found that mothers of albino children took about nine months to accept them fully. ''They keep a distance that's not normal between mother and child, and talk to them less,'' she said.

"The world should never be short of great dirty rock 'n' roll bands that give you an excuse to down whiskey, slug beer, grow beards, raise your fists and, if you can, sing your mane in the name of rock. It's for those reasons that bands like Switchblade Jesus exist. While they are not reinventing the musical wheel, these Texans have concocted their own riff-hungry tunes that more than satisfy and rock needs the listener has: their debut self-titled album is a badass rock that fans of Orange Goblin, Fu Manchu, Down, Viking Skull and Black Label Society are going to dig. Heavy on the fuzzed-up boogie riffs (check out 'Bastard Son' and 'The Wolves'), 'Sick Mouth' is thunderous and closer 'Oblivion' is a stomping beast that reaches an earsplitting climax. One minor downside is the production, which could be a little beefier, but with studio experience this will be easy to overcome. If these guys come by and play at your local bar anytime soon, be sure not to miss them." - Terrorizer [7.

Mohammed Ali Hammadi
|The subject of this biographical article is shown as being deceased on another wiki-language article. (June 2014)
Mohammed Ali Hammadi (Arabic: محمد علي حمادي), also known as Mohammed Ali Hamadi (born 13 June 1964 in Lebanon)[1] is one of the list of FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists. A Lebanese citizen and alleged member of Hezbollah, he was convicted in a West German court of law of air piracy, murder, and possession of explosives for his part in the 14 June 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847.[2]
Under indictment by US law enforcement for crimes related to the same hijacking, during which one passenger, U.S. Navy Seabee diver Robert Stethem, was extensively tortured prior to being murdered, Hammadi was sentenced to life imprisonment by the West German court. He was imprisoned in 1987 in West Germany for 19 years, but was abruptly paroled in 2005, and became a fugitive from the United States Department of Justice, which listed him as one of the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists in 2006. He is believed to reside in Lebanon, where he may have rejoined Hezbollah.
There has been speculation that his parole was granted as part of a covert prisoner swap, in exchange for the release of Susanne Osthoff. Taken hostage in Iraq a month prior, Osthoff was released the week of Hammadi's parole.[3]
Imprisoned in West Germany[edit]
Two years after the TWA Flight 847 attack, Hammadi was arrested in Frankfurt, West Germany, in 1987 while attempting to smuggle liquid explosives. The United States immediately requested his extradition but Hizbullah immediately abducted two West Germans in Beirut, and threatened to kill them if Hamadei were extradited. Then it was decided to try Hamadei in West Germany. In addition to the charges in West Germany of illegal importation of explosives, he was charged with the 1985 hijacking and hostage taking; tried and convicted of Stethem's 1985 murder, he was sentenced to life in prison.[4]
The first opportunity for parole to be granted on a life sentence in Germany is ordinarily after 15 years. However Hammadi's life sentence included a provision that due to an exceptional grave degree of guilt the first parole review was to be later. The Landgericht (regional court) Kleve decided on 30 November 2005, to grant Hammadi's application for parole, after his having served 19 years of his term.[5] The US government has sought his extradition from Lebanon.
Fugitive in Lebanon[edit]
His indicted accomplices in the TWA Flight 847 attack, Hassan Izz-Al-Din and Ali Atwa continue to elude arrest and currently remain at large, having been placed among the original 22 fugitives on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list on 10 October 2001, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Another accomplice, Imad Mughniyeh, was killed on 12 February 2008 in a car-bombing attack in Damascus, Syria. Those responsible for this attack remain unknown as of 13 February 2008.
On 14 February 2006, the United States federal government, through the ambassador to Lebanon, had formally asked the Lebanese government to extradite Mohammed Ali Hammadi for the murder of Robert Stethem during the 1985 hijacking.[6] On 24 February 2006, he joined his accomplices on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list, under the name Mohammed Ali Hamadei.[7]
Several news outlets[8] reported the announcement by Hezbollah of the death of Imad Mugniyah by explosion in Syria on 13 February 2008. The remaining three fugitives from TWA Flight 847 remain on the list, and at large.
On 12 September 2006, a "Bush administration official" indicated that Hammadi had rejoined Hezbollah upon his release from German prison.[9]
On 12 February 2007, the FBI announced a new $5 million reward for information leading to the recapture of Hammadi.[10]
Reported death[edit]
According to Deutsche Presse-Agentur, unconfirmed Pakistani intelligence sources reported Hammadi killed in a CIA drone strike inside Pakistan in June 2010.[11][12] Other sources dispute this.[13]
Hammadi's death was never confirmed and he remains on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list.[14]

Patient Comments: Osteoarthritis - Share Your Experience
Do you, a friend, or relative have osteoarthritis? Please share your experience.
Comment from: Renuka g., 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: March 18
I have knee joint pain for last 2 months. Doctor suggested x-ray and found gap between joints was less at inner side of both the legs. Doctor suggested to put lubrication through viscosupplementation injection in the knee. He is not confident this is a guaranteed solution for my knee osteoarthritis. He also suggested that I lose weight.
Comment from: lena, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: September 25
I am 46 years old and I have always had issues with my knees for as long as I can remember. I could tell when it was going to storm or just rain. January of 2014, knee pain has progressed to severe. I could barely walk. I went to doctors and had steroid injections, but no help. Next step I had Synvisc, no help or relief. I did therapy and nothing again. I had MRI done and yes, no cartilage at all behind knee caps. Both knee caps are shot. But the doctor won't do surgery because he says I'm too young. I have no medicine regimes. He just told me I'm unable to work due the severity of osteoarthritis in knees. As to pain, well, he said I just need to work through it on my own. Now I'm raising my twins of which one has hip issues, and out of my 2 granddaughters one is medically challenged. They are 4 and 5. I am very tired of pain and not being able to function like a normal person. I don't sleep very much due to pain. I can't do grocery shopping, if I do I'm laid up for a few days with severe pain and swelling of knees. Now elbows are doing same thing and my lower back kills when doing simple things like dishes or fixing meals.
Comment from: marinemom3025, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 26
I was diagnosed years ago with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. For me it was passed down by my parents. My hands are deformed now and I suffer great pain, now it is in my spine and my knees too. I was on chemotherapy for almost 2 years. It did nothing but cause me more grief, I got drop foot from using the chemotherapy. I"m now looking for a new doctor, I know there is no cure but surely there must be something we can do to stop the horrible pain and swelling in our joints!
Comment from: Rich, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: June 14
I have been involved in heavy-duty work for most of my life -- mainly in warehouse with heavy lifting and trucking. All of these jobs put me at risk, but that is what I grew up with and enjoyed most as an occupation. Unfortunately, it caused great strain on my spine, and I am now being treated for spinal osteoarthritis. Even with medication, I am never without severe pain. Hot showers and a heating pad do relieve some of the pain, but it cannot end it. I am now 61 and have had the arthritis for four years. I have had to learn to live with it, but it isn't easy.
Comment from: Eduardo, 13-18 Male (Patient) Published: April 22
I was born three months early. I was born with underdeveloped bones and never had any special care. I started to gain weight drastically after a traumatic experience. Since then, my joints have gotten worse and worse. I have deformed knees, experience sharp pains in even the simplest joints, and experience stiffness and loud pops throughout my body. I've been dropping weight, but I know that given my build, even at my smallest I'd still be giving my back and lower body a hard time. I'm currently 16 and I am 6 feet tall and weigh 238 pounds. I was at one point 5'8" and weighed 270 pounds, and had a body fat percentage of 45 percent. I've pushed that down to 28 percent and I am still going. Hopefully sports will help me, but I'm not expecting miracles.
Comment from: amydewster, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: July 01
My knee pain has severely increased after a fall. Will osteoarthritis progress faster after a traumatic injury! I did not know I had osteoarthritis 3 months ago, now my doctor suggests a knee replacement.
Comment from: Kacebs, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: February 04
I was operated 11 years ago for arthritis but I started experiencing pain in the knee joint and around the thigh. Now I have to take pain killers every time I experience pain.

I. General Guidelines to follow when first working with students (either drop ins or pre-scheduled students), after they have dropped in or appeared on the calendar as a pre-scheduled appointment. Fill out the top of an off-line hard copy Conference Report (in duplicate, using carbon paper) so that one copy eventually goes to the instructor and one copy gets filed for a future record-keeping report.
- Determine if individual students have been referred (required to attend) and by whom, and look at any referral sheet if they produce one. MOST STUDENTS WILL NOT HAVE A REFERRAL FORM, SO JUST HAVE THEM EXPLAIN WHAT THE ASSIGNMENT IS AGAIN IN A MINUTE OR TWO AND WHAT THEY THINK THEY NEED HELP WITH during a 30+ minute appointment. ELL students or Comp II students needing paraphrasing help or having a lengthy research paper may need more than a half hour at a time. (Students who arrive to take a CLEP exam for ENG 111 should be scheduled no later than one hour before the Center's closing time; students who take the ENG 112 CLEP exam must be scheduled no later than two hours before the Center's closing time.)
- Above all, get the students talking; it is important to know what they think that they need, based on what they tell you.
- Spend 25 minutes or more reading each student's rough draft or revised draft ORALLY, getting students to understand and write in their own corrections or revisions. Make sure you understand their assignment exactly. Tell students not to leave, if possible, until you have seen their corrections (even initial what you have looked over). If necessary get them to stay and write or return if the task isn't completed.
- If no essay or rewrite is brought in (your first priority for working with a student), follow instructions for doing exercises based on referral form or what the student wants to learn (paraphrasing, fragments, etc.).
- When no essay or exact needs are known, you might give students the grammar pretest or posttest (especially if in Comp I) and make plans to go over it with them to plan future help sessions.
- Congratulate students on their effort, remind them of returning again when they need more help, and tell them to bring in essays they are working on, and fill out briefly the checkboxes in the "Conference Report" and make other comments in the space provided at the bottom. Do client conference reports for both pre-scheduled students and drop ins.
II. For subsequent sessions, your first priority is to go over students' writing when possible; your second priority is to go over recommended exercises (when there is time) or the grammar pretest or posttest. However, do not put unnecessary pressure on students to do too much at once; chances are that their class assignments keep them busy enough.
III. Contact students tactfully but immediately when they miss a scheduled session by calling them when possible or emailing them.
IV. When a problem arises, don't hesitate to call Dr. Sadlon, the Director (by email or office phone–502-863-8133 or home phone–502- 863-3214) or another faculty member, especially if a student repeatedly doesn't attend. Try to make students care about their progress. Finally, make full use of the assigned time.

I am trying to see if we have a product to market to researchers and wanted to get some info if possible.
Do research companies use an predictive or auto dialer?

This is a reply to: Service for Interviewing
Telephone Interviewing facilities do use predictive dialing software. In fact in the Software Directory on this site -- under the supplier directory heading -- predictive dialing software is one of the categories listed.

Yes! I think some of the Companies may maintain predictive dialer. Actually I am not understanding your problem. Please consult Strtistics Market Research sevices.

I personally don't have my entities implement interfaces. For a
Task class I wouldn't have
ITask that just had the same properties defined on it.
I've seen it done a few times though, so I'm wondering where that advice comes from, and what benefits you get from it.
If you're using an ORM then the argument that says "I can change my data access" is irrelevent, so what other reason is there for doing this?
A good point was made in the comments about
INotifyPropertyChanged. That wasn't my point though - I'm talking about having something like this:
public interface ITask
int Id { get; set; }
string Description { get; set; }
public class Task : ITask
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }

Will also start fine if you simply remove xmlParserAPIs-2.2.1.jar from ../lib/endorsed. However, removing xmlParserAPIs-2.2.1.jar will break 1.4, I assume. As Rick notes, the issue is that fact that xmlParserAPIs-2.2.1.jar set's the javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory property to org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl. Sun 1.5 has altered the xslt package name in the 1.5 distribution. It's now com.sun.org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl. Our choices seem to be: 1. include xalan in our distribution 2. make geronimo.sh sensitive to the jre version (either by user specified parameter or dynamic detection). 3. drop support of 1.4 Barring other options, adding xalan seems to be the way to go. We can remove it in 2.0 :-) Hmmm. Dropping support for 1.4 is starting to grow on me... Any other thoughts? --kevan

I doubt you'd get much power with a .45 out of a 2" barrel. Nice work though!

I was playing around with some image manipulation earlier and came up with this. I call it the "Super Sub XD."
6+1 capacity
Manual thumb safety
Small enough for pocket carry
I *almost* posted it as a real pistol, then linked to an "April Fool" page, but I'm not that cruel.
Seriously, this would rock!

I doubt you'd get much power with a .45 out of a 2" barrel. Nice work though!
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
Not to nit-pick but, odd that a .45 says 9X19 on the side....

This is fun.
You might as well keep working on the image to take the rail off because it will not work. Also get rid of a few ounces from the top.
You will need to send this to Croatia because this is where the DX is made.
A solid pistol for the money but not my choice. I own a DX SC and many others that I prefer over this model.
If you understand, things are just as they are... If you do not understand, things are just as they are....

The G36 isn't much larger than that.... :)
Nice work. Would you want to contour the sights a little more for pocket carry so that they're snag-free?
Given that they're not making a subcompact .45 because of the (so I read, Internet gunboard hearsay, YMMV) recoil spring engineering problems, I doubt this would ever see the light of day.I call it the "Super Sub XD."
Maybe in .380?
Very nice work, and the concept looks good, also!
No matter how short you make the barrel and grip it will still be a thick block.
Im thinking maybe just get a PM45.
Springer! I would lower the bore axis on it if you can.
Folks, a caveat..... Keep in mind that this would be strictly a self defense pistol. You won't be driving tacks with it at 50 yards or shooting it in competitions. The idea, or at least to me, is a .45 caliber counterpart to the LCP; small enough for pocket carry or deep concealment, but with plenty of knockout power. It could also be an excellent BUG.
"I practice the ancient art of Klik Pao."
Bore axis is the distance from the centerline of your barrel to the top of your shooting grip. You would want to keep that distance as small as possible, but still maintain enough "meat" on your frame for integrity.
Two examples i can think of for a high axis are; XD pistols and the Walther PPS. For low axis would be all Glocks and, really low, the Hk P7.
The lower the axis the less "snappy" the recoil is. It also gives you better control on target reacquisition.
That is my broad description of bore axis.

"What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?" So asked the psalmist three thousand years ago. The question is still with us and as urgent as ever: What are we? The scriptural answer is that we are made in the image of God, but that answer is not as plausible to many people today as it once was. Reductive theories abound that claim human beings are nothing more than the product of biological and social evolution, of genes and the environment, of instincts and social conditioning, of the wiring of the brain and the chemistry of hormones and neurotransmitters. What gets lost in all this is free will.
Explaining how man is made in the image of God, the second-century theologian St. Irenaeus of Lyons wrote that "man is rational and therefore like God; he is created with free will and is master over his acts." This freedom is what makes us persons, and it is what allows us to share in the divine life. To share in that life, says St. John the Evangelist, is to abide in love and in truth; and that is only possible for us to do because we are endowed with freedom. If we were entirely controlled by factors of a lower order, by mere material forces, as animals are, we could not be open to realities of a higher order, to goodness, truth, and beauty. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, in "his...

i Friends,
I've installed Wp_fb plugin but it's not showing 'fb' option in the log-in.
In the plug-in it's showing some error as 'connectivity issue with facebook'.
I've tried by disabling other plug-ins and also by recreating the app again.
Even didn't receive any answer from official plug-in site.
Also tried other plugin but the same problem persists.
Ideally I wanted to use something like 'Google Friend Connect' where my visitors
could register for my site and become members with large database of google.
Please refer any other alternative if you have.
I've tried 'linky followers' which does not feed up my objective as this is primarily for blogs.
Any help will be highly acknowledged.

Every year we hear about a tragic death in sports. Usually it results from a poor decision or illegal activity from the individual. However on June 29th 1983, Joe Delaney died trying to save three children from drowning at the age of 24.
Delaney was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 1981 in the second round of the NFL draft. He had a terrific rookie season rushing for over 1,100 yards. He was set to be the future of the franchise. Delaney propelled the Chiefs to their first winning season since 1973. Former Houston Oilers defensive end Elvin Bethea praised Delaney saying his skills ranked among the greatest running backs ever.
But Delaney should be remembered most for what he did off the field.
It has been well documented that Delaney did not know how to swim. Three boys were drowning in an amusement park pond while being sucked down from the water hole. The pond wasn't meant for swimming, just a scenic view. Delaney was there and quickly reacted by jumping in. One of the children managed to get out safely while the other two died. Delaney drowned and his body was later found by officials. A man who couldn't even swim, jumped into a pond to save three kids he didn't even know.
The Chiefs currently have 10 retired jersey numbers. This includes Stone Johnson who never even played a regular season game. He broke his neck in a preseason game and died 10 days later. If Johnson's number 33 has been "admirably" retired, than it's time to retire number 37.
"I can't swim, but I've got to save those kids"
-The last words ever spoken by Joe Delaney.

Dollar Rises Versus Yen as Fed's Bullard Says Taper Odds Rise
The dollar gained versus the yen for a second day as Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said the odds of tapering bond purchases have risen along with gains in the labor market.
The greenback strengthened to almost the highest level since May versus Japan's currency after Bullard, who votes on policy this year, commented on a report last week that showed the jobless rate dropped to a five-year low of 7 percent in November as employers added more workers than forecast. The pound snapped a four-day decline against the euro and Mexico's peso rallied to the strongest in almost two months.
"We're still riding the Friday numbers," Fabian Eliasson, head of U.S. currency sales in New York at Mizuho Financial Group Inc., said in a phone interview. "We're just getting clarity and listening to the Fed speakers."
The dollar rose 0.4 percent to 103.27 yen at 5 p.m. New York time. It touched 103.38 on Dec. 3, the highest since May
23. The greenback fell 0.2 percent to $1.3739 against the euro. The Japanese currency slid 0.6 percent to 141.88 per euro and reached 141.95, the least since October 2008.
Futures Positions
Futures traders increased bets the yen will decline against the dollar, figures from the Washington-based Commodity Futures Trading Commission show. The difference in the number of wagers by hedge funds and other large speculators on a decline in the yen compared with those on a gain -- so-called net shorts -- was 133,383 on Dec. 3, the most since July 2007, and compared with bearish bets of 123,202 a week earlier.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index of stocks gained 0.2 percent.
"Given that we're in a situation where risk is positive, which helps equities, dollar-yen is going to go higher," Dan Dorrow, the head of research at Faros Trading in Stamford, Connecticut, said in a phone interview.
Britain's currency advanced for the first time in five days versus the euro as Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said in a speech in New York that U.K. economic news "has been positive." The central bank kept its main interest rate at a record-low 0.5 percent last week to help foster a recovery.
The U.K. currency appreciated 0.3 percent to 83.62 pence per euro after weakening 1.2 percent in the previous four days.
Mexico Reform
The Mexican peso strengthened for a second day as the seven-decade state energy monopoly is poised to end after senators from the nation's two biggest political parties agreed to allow output sharing contracts and licenses for outside producers. The peso rose 0.6 percent to 12.8556 per dollar. It touched 12.8018 earlier, the highest level since Oct. 18.
China's yuan advanced to the strongest level in 20 years after the central bank raised the currency's daily fixing and the nation's trade surplus widened to the most in more than four years.
Exports rose 12.7 percent from a year earlier in November, official data showed yesterday, compared with 5.6 percent growth in October. The People's Bank of China raised the yuan's reference rate by 0.17 percent to 6.1130 per dollar, the strongest since a peg to the dollar ended in July 2005. Today's increase was the biggest since June 7.
"Strong economic data are fueling further optimism in the yuan," said Stella Lee, president of Success Wealth Management Ltd. in Hong Kong. "Funds continue to flow into China to get exposure to yuan appreciation, as well as economic growth."
Yuan Gain
The yuan climbed 0.2 percent to close at 6.0723 per dollar in Shanghai, China Foreign Exchange Trade System prices show. It touched 6.0713 earlier, the strongest level since the government unified the official and market exchange rates at the end of
South Africa's rand weakened following its best one-day rally in three months. Foreign investors bought government bonds for the first time in almost two weeks on Dec. 6, which ended the longest streak of outflows on record. The currency fell 0.7 percent to 10.3927 versus the U.S. dollar.
Fund managers and electronic traders for the first time account for more than half the $5.3 trillion-a-day currency market.
Hedge funds, pension managers, central banks and smaller lenders made up 67 percent of the increase in daily trading, from about $4 trillion in 2010, the Bank for International Settlements said in its quarterly review yesterday. Their share rose to 53 percent from 48 percent, while dealer banks, which buy and sell from clients, held steady with 39 percent.
Fed Meeting
With the U.S. labor market showing signs of strengthening, the Federal Open Market Committee may start dialing down $85 billion in monthly bond buying at a Dec. 17-18 meeting rather than wait until January or March, according to 34 percent of economists in a Dec. 6 Bloomberg News survey. In a poll last month, 17 percent of economists predicted a December tapering.
"A small taper might recognize labor-market improvement while still providing the committee the opportunity to carefully monitor inflation during the first half of 2014," Bullard, a supporter of record stimulus, said in St. Louis. "Should inflation not return toward target, the committee could pause tapering at subsequent meetings."
The U.S. central bank should begin dialing back asset purchases as soon as possible in an economy that doesn't need any more monetary stimulus, Fed Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher also said today.
Labor Department reported on Dec. 6 payrolls increased by 203,000 in November, versus the median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey for a 185,000 gain.
The dollar has gained 3.4 percent this year, among 10 developed-nation currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The euro climbed 8.1 percent while the yen tumbled 14.8 percent.

Electronics Workbench
Editorial review
Zack Martin Senior editor
It is no longer being updated, and you won't be able to obtain it from its original developer.
Designing and testing an electronic circuit is a tedious job. Testing is the area where a computer program can be of help; then you will not need to worry that anything will burn up if things go wrong somewhere.
Electronics Workbench includes all the tools needed to inspect any electronic or electrical circuit. The circuits can be simulated using ideal components as well as regular ones. It includes a library with a huge list of analog and digital components. If the component you are looking for is not available, you may create it and save it on the user section of the library. It can be done either by editing a component or creating a new one. You will find the chip makers very useful.
Version 5 is a very old one. The component library is somewhat small but it is quite enough for a beginner. The 74xx digital ICs and the general analog ICs, like 741, and also the 555 timer, DAC, ADC, etc., are available. All we need to do is set up the circuit by dragging the components including the measurement devices, function generator, etc., and click on the start button.
Analysis with graphs is available too. It is very useful in constructing bode plots, etc. The program comes with a lot of circuit examples so that you can easily study them. The Circuit Design Community on the Internet is the best source for Electronics WorkBench example files and projects.
The newer versions, like the latest one 10.1, include a lot more components and tools.
- A list of thousands of electronic components.
- Fast simulation and testing.
- High Price.
- Poor gui.

Hello, I have the program, but on my Win 8 it does not work, after starting it just does nothing at all, I can only see the icon in the task manager, and when I try to start it again, it tells me that one is allreaddy running, and then the program starts working but tells me this: "Access violation (7AFA7), writing 5A53F3". Can anyone help me out? It works just fine on school PCs with Win 7, I run on my Win 8 in Win 95 mode, but that does not seem to help. And has I try to run it on Win 8, it tells me that the program is not made for that system.

Longtime education entrepreneur Sallie Severns has a very cool tool for college students. Her app, Answer Underground, helps students learn by connecting them with study groups across the country. "When I approached students and educators with early versions of Answer Underground," she says, "the response was overwhelmingly positive." Whether you have a question about quantum physics or sociology, the app connects you with the answers you need from people who know what they're talking about. "Today's college students don't go anywhere without their cellphones; they're mobile, and extremely tech savvy," says Sallie. She's right, and now the app is available on iTunes. The app lets students and educators create topic-centric groups, allows students and educators to post questions and answers about various academic subjects and classes and lets users rate answers for accuracy. It also sends users the answers via text the moment they are posted. The company behind this free education app that helps students and educators post and answer academic questions in a real-time, mobile environment is headquartered in Silicon Valley and was founded in 2012. Download the app right here.
