Poole's Index to Periodical Literature
Poole's Index to Periodical Literature is the first and only systematic article level index to the subject matter of 19th century periodicals. Originally published in six volumes between 1882 and 1908, the Index began in 1848 as the project of Yale student, William Frederick Poole. Poole observed that libraries hold collections of periodicals which receive little use because their content is not known. Through the application of subject indexing, Poole was able to dramatically increase access to periodical literature, greatly facilitating the research process. In 1876, Poole was approached by the American Library Association, and persuaded to produce a new edition of his index, with the assistance William Fletcher, Librarian of Amherst College, and the library community in North America and the UK. When the final volume was released in 1908, the Index had covered 482,000 articles and 378,000 subjects in 12,241 volumes of 479 British and American periodicals for the years 1802-1906.

Percona replication manager (PRM) documentation available (beta)
Since the new MySQL Pacemaker resource agent supporting PRM is now included in version 3.9.3 of the official Pacemaker resource agents package and things have stabilized a bit, I have been able to write some documentation. I wrote a first draft of the PRM documentation that is likely far from perfect, but I hope it will be useful and improve rapidly. The PRM documentation is available here. Comments and suggestions are welcome, please use the PRM discuss or the PRM devel mailing lists instead of replying to the blog post directly.
2013-06-24: Code is now here: https://github.com/percona/percona-pacemaker-agents

Good stuff! We are looking to implement an HA mysql solution built upon EC2 for one of our customers and I noticed your documentation had a section under testing called VIPless cluster (cloud). Do you have any information here? Are you planning on using EIPs or DNS failover? Do you have any preliminary information or something you can point me to which hooks pacemaker up with EC2 or Route53?
@Jeremy and @Jacky,
basically, the VIPless solution use a fake mysql agent on the application servers. When the promote notification is received on the application servers, announcing a new master, the fake agent, instead of adjusting mysql replication just issue an iptables DNAT rule to redirect outgoing mysql traffic to the new master. Directing reads to slaves can also be handled but in a less efficient way.
+1 to the suggestion to Jeremy
Currently I am also looking into a proper setup for HA solution for EC2. ("proper" mean that the design have take into consideration of EC2 limitation and environment)
Excellent work Yves! I don't think Pacemaker is the best place for most database failover scenarios, but this is actually a pretty sweet system you built. I am going to enjoy going through your agent source code.
What about switch over and looooong update queries? And syncing binary logs?

A myc tag can be used in many different assays that require recognition by an antibody. If there is no antibody against the studied protein, adding a myc-tag allows one to follow the protein with an antibody against the Myc epitope. Examples are cellular localization studies by immunofluorescence or detection by Western blotting.
The peptide sequence of the myc-tag is: N-EQKLISEEDL-C (1202 Da). It can be fused to the C-terminus and the N-terminus of a protein. It is advisable not to fuse the tag directly behind the signal peptide of a secretory protein, since it can interfere with translocation into the secretory pathway.

Cystatin E/M, also referred to as CST6, is a member of type 2 cysteine proteinase inhibitors of the cystatin superfamily, and inhibits papain and cathepsin B. Cystatin E is a low molecular mass secreted protein existing in both a glycosylated (17 kDa) and an unglycosylated (14 kDa) form, with two characteristic intrachain disulfide bridges. Expression of cystatin M/E is found to be restricted to the epidermis, more specifically in the stratum granulosum, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and the hair follicles. In addition to its function as a cysteine protease inhibitor, cystatin M/E also serves as a target for cross-linking by transglutaminases. Accordingly, cystatin M/E was suggested to be involved in barrier formation and maintenance. Furthermore, studies have revealed that cystatin M/E is frequently epigenetically inactivated during breast carcinogenesis, and thus be regarded as a candidate of tumour suppressor gene.

Dear Berry: How do I change the email address associated with my BlackBerry ID?
Posted by Dear Berry on 4 Jan 2013 9:02 am EST
Hello my faithful CrackBerry readers and Happy New Year! Dear Berry is here again to answer any BlackBerry questions and woes that you may have. Let's open up the mailbag and see what this week's question is... Hi, I'm going to be switching internet providers which means the email address I use with my BlackBerry ID will no longer be available for me to use. How do I change my email address...

BlackBerry ID takes over backup/restore functions for BBM
Posted by Adam Zeis on 14 Nov 2012 11:23 am EST
BBM has long been plagued with issues when swapping devices or installing a new OS. For years BlackBerry users have stuggled with keeping their contact list intact and not having to start from scratch after an update. In recent versions, the backup/restore feature has kept us sane (for the most part) giving the option to backup your contact list to an email address or SD card. The wasn't...

BlackBerry ID integration now live for BlackBerry Beta Zone accounts

Users signing into the BlackBerry Beta Zone are no longer asked for a separate username and password, instead you're prompted for your BlackBerry ID which is used on all your BlackBerry devices.

PSA: Read this before you click on that BlackBerry ID email
Posted by Adam Zeis on 23 Aug 2012 11:45 am EDT
As BlackBerry users it's not often we need to be on the lookout for a virus or malware (although you should always be careful) but according to Net-Security.org there is a fake email circulating regarding BlackBerry ID. The email is a dead-on copy of a legit one from RIM starting out "To enjoy the full benefits of your BlackBerry ID, please follow the instructions in the attached file." but...

Apple has iTunes, Google now has Google Play - Are we going to see BlackBerry App World go beyond apps with BlackBerry 10?
Posted by Adam Zeis on 6 Mar 2012 3:30 pm EST
Google Play has been unveiled and is the new home for apps, games, books and movies for all Android devices. Google Play is taking the place of the Android Market, Google Music and the Google eBookstore, and it now leaves Android users with one central location where everything will be available and eliminating the need for separately branded stores. This follows Apple's iTunes approach...

BlackBerry ID Update: Fixes made and more improvements on the way!
Posted by CrackBerry Kevin on 2 Sep 2011 4:43 pm EDT
Last week I wrote a bit of a rant on the BlackBerry ID Registration process, based on separate less-than-stellar experiences I encountered the week previous while setting two new Bold 9900 owners up with their BBID. I was *hoping* whoever at RIM was in charge of BlackBerry ID would see the article and do something about the issues I experienced, and the great news here is that's exactly what...

Dear RIM: Please Fix the BlackBerry ID Registration Process (both on BlackBerry 7 Smartphones and the Web). It's horrible!

I sincerely hope the person working for RIM who is in charge of the BlackBerry ID registration process reads this rant and does something about it as it has now FRUSTRATED THE HELL OUT OF ME on two back to back occassions wasting 45 minutes of my time and providing a really BAD first impression to two new BlackBerry Bold 9900 owners. A change from BlackBerry 6 and older BlackBerry...

BlackBerry News for the BlackBerry PlayBook updated to 18.104.22.168, returns to the future
Posted by Joseph Holder on 5 Aug 2011 11:20 am EDT
Yesterday - and I'm talking less than 24 hours ago - I noticed a curious thing about BlackBerry News for the BlackBerry PlayBook: it was living in the past. Restarting the app and then the PlayBook did no good. The application simply refused to show any articles posted later than July 31, 2011. As to why, I couldn't tell you. Perhaps the app just couldn't come to grips with the fact that...

BlackBerry ID now appearing in an Options Menu near you
Posted by Michelle Haag on 21 Jul 2011 6:20 pm EDT
CrackBerry member Kryngle noticed today that a new choice has appeared under Options on his Storm 2. It looks like you can now set up your BlackBerry ID from this menu, including your name, screen name, username (email address), password and recovery question. This Storm is running OS 5, and I didn't see this option on my Bold 9700 on BB6. Anyone else see this update, and if so, what triggered...

I Have A Fungus!
Not to worry, it isn't contagious...
but the diagnosis is in...
I need a new roof...
Don't get me wrong, this is definitely a condition that I could live with. I think that it is beautiful, and adds to the character of a home. In a couple of weeks there will be thousands of tiny red stems and flowers growing out of the lichen. "Beautiful", I say. "Not good", says my roofer. After 25 years the cedar shakes have broken down and need to be replaced, just as my roof was starting to develop real beauty and character. Oh well, I don't want those pesky Maysles brothers showing up asking to film! I'll just have to be satisfied with the lichen and moss inspired colors that I chose for the exterior.
If I could, I'd have a stone roof with a moss garden growing on it.
Until then, I'll just settle for it IN my garden...
Fungi adds grace and beauty, animating the inanimate.
So even though it has eaten my roof, costing me a king's ransom to replace, I will continue to cultivate, desire, and love a good fungus.

Brio Global Bedside cot - lost assembly instructions - Please Help!!
(13 Posts)Hi,
I've just unearthed our Bedside cot for my 4 month baby, but can't find the instructions on how to put it back together. They've been discontinued, and enquiries at my original supplier and Brio uk have proven unsuccessful.
Please let there be some wonderful person out there who would be fabulous enough to send me the instructions!! I'd be eternally grateful!!
Thanks TheBlonde!
Have posted a message x Fingers crossed....
Hi, had no luck getting in touch with netgirl or ayshigirl. Does anyone else have instructions pretty please??
Hi, Just wondered if you ever managed to get instructions for the bedside cot? I just bought one on e-bay and was feeling very smug at the excellent bargain until that was wiped off my face when I realised I couldn't work out how on earth it went togteher!!!!
If you did get hold of some, is there any chance I could have a copy off you please?
Hi, similar situation - eBay bought brio bedside cot. On collection we were told all parts were there but upon getting home (several hundred miles away) and trying to put it together there were only 4 bolts with it (to attach the rails to the end panels) so we think we're missing about 6 bolts to put the rest of it together. I'd be very grateful if anyone has instructions stating the dimensions of these bolts/screws so we can replace them, or does anyone have this cot and wouldn't mind taking out a bolt and measuring length/diameter etc? Any help would be wonderful!
Thank you.
I can be emailed at firstname.lastname@example.com
i have just dissassembled ours to pass onto my sister, but there is a missing barrel nut!! it needs to be the exact width. brio don't manufacture them anymore. help! i have instructions for the more recent model (was no good for us). can be emailed at firstname.lastname@example.com
I was looking for the instructions of the Global Bedside Cot and came across these instructions online for the Troll Bedside Cot... the bed looks pretty much identical to the one we've got. And I also found a post from someone else on Mumsnet saying that these two beds are identical.
So these might be useful to others.
I have the instructions in PDF. Does anyone know how I can put them on the intranet? If you require them, email me and I can email a copy to you.
Sorry, meant to say that if you require the instructions you could message me your email, and I could then email them to you. THey are in PDF.
Hi LnMM can you email me the brio instructions please. My email is email@example.com
Hi LnMM.
If you still have the cot assembly instructions, I'd be really grateful if you could email the PDF file to email@example.com.
Hi was wondering if you have still got instructions? Just bought cot got it found to strange rubber bits an not sure were they go on cot. Would be greatfull if you could help. Thank you x

The screams echoing around Plockton High School last Friday were not caused by tricky arithmetic lessons, but were yelps of pain from two S6 pupils having their legs waxed for charity.
Rowan Myers and Ali Nixon raised over £1,500 for Computers for Africa through the painful experience, as well as providing entertainment for their fellow pupils during the school lunch break last Friday.
This summer the boys will be part of the school party undertaking the annual Computers for Africa expedition to deliver and set up around 300 computers in schools.
Pupils are required to raise around £15,000 to finance the trip every year. Since being established by pupils in 1995, the charity has delivered over 5,000 computers to around 300 schools in 10 African countries, making computing possible for over 300,000 young Africans.
Ali and Rowan extended their thanks to Joanne Campbell and Kathryn Isles from the Skin and Tonic salon in Balmacara for providing the treatment. They also expresssed gratitude to the high school for allowing the use of the recreational area, and everyone who sponsored them.
Pictured is Ali Nixon, screaming through the pain barrier.

Colon and Rectal Trauma Demetrios Demetriades; Kenji Inaba ++ Introduction ++ The management of colon injuries has undergone many radical changes in the last few decades, resulting in a dramatic reduction of colon-related mortality from about 60% during World War I to about 40% during World War II to about 10% during the Vietnam War and to lower than 3% in the last decade. However, the colon-related morbidity remains unacceptably high and in most prospective studies the abdominal sepsis rate is about 20% (Table 33-1).1–6 In patients with destructive colon injuries, high Penetrating Abdominal Trauma Index (PATI), or multiple blood transfusions the incidence of intra-abdominal sepsis has been reported to be as high as 27%.7,8 ++Table Graphic Jump LocationTable 33-1 Incidence of Abdominal Septic Complications in Colon Injuries (Prospective Studies)View Large|Favorite Table|Download (.pdf)Table 33-1 Incidence of Abdominal Septic Complications in Colon Injuries (Prospective Studies)AuthorNumber of PatientsAbdominal Sepsis (%)George et al.110233Chappuis et al.25620Demetriades et al.310016Ivatury et al.425217Gonzalez et al.511424Demetriades et al.629724Overall92122 ++ Epidemiology ++ In the United States, the vast majority of colon injuries are due to penetrating trauma, usually firearms. In abdominal gunshot wounds the colon is the second most commonly injured organ after the small bowel and it is involved in about 27% of cases undergoing laparotomy.8,9 In anterior abdominal stab wounds the colon is the third most commonly injured organ after the liver and small bowel and is found in about 18% of patients undergoing laparotomy. In posterior stab wounds the colon is the most commonly injured organ and is diagnosed in about 20% of patients undergoing laparotomy.10 The transverse colon is the most commonly injured segment after gunshot wounds and the left colon the most commonly injured segment after stab wounds. ++ Stab wounds or low-velocity civilian gunshot wounds usually cause limited damage and most of them are amenable to debridement and primary repair (Fig. 33-1).

"Silicon" is a semiconducting, somewhat metallic-looking, element, bluish in color; devices are now being made from silicon carbide. "Silicone" is akin to an organic ketone compound, containing hydrogen and oxygen, but with the carbon atoms replaced by silicon. There are many different silicones, all of them oily in nature.

By the way, I used before Tascam US-122 D/A that is 96 KHz/24 bit, but now had to switch to M-audio because it does not need M$ Windows and stinkin' firmware download each time I power it on.

As there is significant thermal resistance between the die and even the heat spreader (have a look at the thermal tracking of the so-called "thermaltrak" transistors) and more of it into the heatsink you can be quite sure that significant temperature changes of the die will be experienced, disregardless of heatsink size. The precise thermal profile as it relates to the signal will differ for class A and Class AB amplifiers, but both experience significant modulation effects, as do Mosfet's incidentally. The only saving grace in many cases is that BJT output stages are usually quite heavily degenerated, so the thermal modulation effects are swamped by the emitter resistors... Of course, the lower the emitter resistors, the lower the degeneration... SE Class A Tubes anyone? Ciao T Ciao T |

Not so. Averaging drops the analog detector noise floor, but it's perfectly possible (as I demonstrated in another thread and in some of my published research) to use a single impulse to overcome the objections of unspecified artifacts which somehow get averaged out.

I have both SE class A tube and SE class A MOSFET designs. MOSFET design uses a source follower bootstrapped by another one, and is loaded on counter-modulated CCS. As you can see, variations of power dissipation of the device is minimal. As well as other parameters, such as capacitances. For SE tube I found the best tube I could, it is 4P1L that is a copy of the tube designed by Telefunken for German army before WW-II. It worth it.

Can I make Avamis/SpamAssassin remove or move the ***SPAM*** messages ? I dont want them, and I dont care if I should loose a mail here and then because of it - So far the past months I have NEVER gotten any mails that was not spam marked with ***SPAM***
Changing Spam levels in Amavisd If you just want to remove the ***SPAM*** message, open /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf and find the line that starts with $sa_spam_subject_tag, and just edit the text after it in the quotes. If you want to stop Amavis from doing anything with your spam, you can just change the level of spam by editing the line $sa_tag2_level_deflt. Personally, I have found 2.3 to be a good level to block spam, but let friendly messages through. If you raise that to say, 10, you will get most messages through. Only messages that are almost definitely spam will be blocked above that level. Similarly, you may need to raise the evasive actions line, if you wish to raise the spam triggered line above. Hope this helps. Happy new year.
Deleting ***SPAM*** messages Yes you can remove them. You need to get amavis to perform evasive actions on all spam emails. What you need to do is to decide what spam level is the limit, and set both $sa_tag2_level_deflt and $sa_kill_level_deflt variables in amavisd.conf to the same value, e.g. $sa_tag2_level_deflt = 2.3; # add 'spam detected' headers at that level $sa_kill_level_deflt = 2.3; # triggers spam evasive actions Admittedly 2.3 is fairly low - you may want it around 4, but that's up to you. What will happen here is that the first variable will mark the incoming junk mail as spam, and add the ***SPAM*** header. The second variable will also notice that the junk mail is above the 'Kill All' level and will delete the email for you.
Trying this in my config file Code: $sa_tag_level_deflt = 2.5; # add spam info headers if at, or above that level $sa_tag2_level_deflt = 3.0; # add 'spam detected' headers at that level $sa_kill_level_deflt = 3.5; # Delete Spam

Authorities have deported thousands of mainly low-paid Asian workers from the Gulf Arab state
The narrow, cracked streets of the district of Jleeb al-Shuyoukh, down the road from Kuwait's main airport, would normally be bustling with Indian and Bangladeshi workers by late morning, just before the summer sun becomes unbearable.
But since Kuwaiti police launched a series of raids about two months ago, saying they were tracking down illegal labourers, the streets are almost empty and many small businesses have closed their doors, residents say.
In the last few months, authorities have deported thousands of mainly low-paid Asian workers from the Gulf Arab state for working without the correct visa or residency papers or for repeat traffic offences, according to local media and residents. A government minister has called for a reduction in the number of "excess" foreign workers in Kuwait.
The oil-rich country relies heavily on foreign workers to perform low-paying and strenuous jobs in sectors such as construction and services; foreigners make up about 69 percent of Kuwait's 3.8 million population.
Pressure to limit their numbers has been growing among some Kuwaitis who argue that too many workers are a burden on the state. They say that instead of bringing in foreigners, Kuwait should be trying harder to cut unemployment among its own nationals, which analysts estimate above 3.0 percent.
If this pressure continues to grow, it could have a major effect on Kuwait's economy, limiting its access to low-cost labour, while reducing flows of money to countries which supply foreign workers such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and the Philippines.
"Kuwait is keen to regulate the labour market because of the imbalance in the demographics," Social Affairs and Labour Minister Thikra al-Rashidi told Reuters, saying the number of foreigners in Kuwait had increased 12.4 percent between 2008 and 2012.
"We have respect for all the expatriates who have participated in the labour market and contributed to the development of Kuwait," she said, but added that there was an excess of unskilled "marginal" workers who were not contributing to the economy in a positive way.
Kuwait's effort to limit expatriate workers is mirrored in several other Gulf countries, which want to curb large foreign populations to address demands for jobs among their own citizens.
Saudi Arabia has deported tens of thousands of illegal foreign workers this year; in February, Oman's government said it would impose a cap on the number of foreigners.
Rashidi has called for the flow of foreigners coming to Kuwait to be reduced by 100,000 every year for the next decade, mainly by cutting down on unskilled workers entering the country and targeting people who are working illegally.
Her ministry's proposal is still in the planning stages but it has coincided with separate steps taken by other government bodies towards foreigners.
Kuwait has deported around 3,000 Indians since the latest campaign started, the Arab Times reported this week, quoting the Indian ambassador. The Indian embassy told Reuters the figure was "approximate". Other nationalities have also been affected.
"The police caught so many people. They came at any time, morning, afternoon, night," said Rashed, a 36-year-old Bangladeshi barber in Jleeb.
Before the raids, he usually had around 20 customers by late morning, but that morning there had been none, he said, declining to give his full name for fear of getting in trouble with authorities. He said he had not experienced such a strict police crackdown since he came to Kuwait 11 years ago.
Contacted by Reuters, the Interior Ministry did not give figures for the number of people deported for traffic offences or incorrect paperwork, but it said laws were applied fairly.
"It is the right of any state...to take appropriate legal action to ensure stability and security of the country," it said in a statement. It added, "The Interior Ministry denies the charge that it is targeting expatriates."
Diplomats from the Indian and Bangladeshi embassies have appealed for an amnesty period before workers are deported, similar to one granted by Saudi Arabia.
"We conveyed our concern that our legal people should not be deported, and the deported people should take their salaries and dues from their sponsors," said Ali Reza, First Secretary at the Embassy of Bangladesh in Kuwait.
Hundreds of Indians held a rare public gathering outside their embassy last week to demand information about people who had been detained or deported.
Critics of the policy say steep cuts in the foreign workforce are not economically feasible, especially since more labourers will be needed to implement a KD30bn ($108bn) development plan which includes building a new airport terminal, an oil refinery and hospitals.
Some companies prefer to employ foreigners rather than Kuwaitis who, they say, often seek higher pay and cannot be as easily dismissed under labour laws.
But the backlash against foreign workers is not purely economic; they have been blamed in some local media for aggravating social problems.
"Kuwait's interest calls for washing our hands of the excessive number of expatriates," an article in the al-Watan newspaper said in April. "Cutting the number of immigrants could help any country as it helps reduce traffic congestion, high consumption of water and electricity, crimes and violations of law."
In another controversial move, the government is studying a proposal to reserve morning hours for Kuwaitis only at public health clinics. The plan would not affect the private hospitals frequented by wealthier expatriates.
After Kuwait's main civil rights group said the plan was discriminatory, the Ministry of Health said in a statement: "The proposal is intended to ease the overcrowding at clinics that continues to increase for regular check-ups." It stressed the new policy would not include emergency care.
Shamlan Alissa, an associate professor at Kuwait University, said it was not right that foreigners could be deported for repeat traffic violations, while the worst that a Kuwaiti might face would be suspension of his driving licence, an impounded car or a fine.
His comments, printed in al-Watan, provoked a public reaction which was "not that pleasant", he said. "There is a popular hatred towards foreigners because we (Kuwaitis) are only 30 percent" of the population."
Ghanem al-Najjar, a professor of political science at Kuwait University who has campaigned for migrant workers in the past, said the government should target businessmen and agencies who brought in thousands of labourers for projects and then dismissed some of them, forcing them to look for work elsewhere.
"There are people bringing them in, the residency traders - these are the people who are not touched. That is a major cause of the problem," he said.
Abdullah, a 35-year-old taxi driver from Pakistan, said he had stopped driving his car into Jleeb because he feared getting stopped, even though he always carried the correct papers.
Some labour agencies in Kuwait have duped foreigners by charging them hundreds of dollars for processing a work permit and then not giving them a position, forcing them to turn to illegal jobs, he said.
Foreigners helped to rebuild Kuwait after the 1990 Iraqi invasion but now feel unwelcome even if they are there legally, he added. "They just used us and now they want to throw us away."

Posted by: Geoff W Wednesday, 10 July 2013 2:45 PM[UAE] - KuwaitI can't wait to see how all of these measures materialize. Kuwaitis have to realize that expats only fill those jobs where locals are unable to perform the job - and these jobs are thousands. Where would you find capable Kuwaiti doctors, engineers and technicians? Why would any Kuwaiti even go for higher studies when he can just lay back and take Government stipends and borrow loans which he will never pay back?

It is Ok to accept the argument that the current measure are meant to reduce unregulated labor market.
But it seems to overlook the fact that growth of any economy the presence of a unregulated labor force who can be directed to different sites and undertake non permanent nature of jobs is highly essential.
Posted by: Saudi Saturday, 15 June 2013 7:51 PM[UAE] - Saudi ArabiaIt?s a matter of logic. An illegal immigrant will rarely if ever make the money needed to support themselves. Their options are just more limited. At some point they just start to degrade society. Expats will enjoy the fruits of the gulf's wealth, and still hate our guts behind our backs.

Posted by: PPM Sunday, 16 June 2013 10:19 AM[UAE] - UK
To be honest most expats from Asia accept discrimination because they suffer from so much colour, caste, creed based bigotry in their home countries anyway.
When they start to hate your guts is when they stop getting paid and have no way to change employer nor to - efficiently - take their employer to court and guarantee to get their dues.
Most Gulf states have no shortage of people employed to check on employee sponsorship or visa status but appear to neither have nor want to have anybody to check on employers' compliance with contracts and the actual law of the land.Posted by: Oldtimer Sunday, 16 June 2013 8:38 AM[UAE] - UAEIllegal workers (NOT Immigrants) should be found and deported beacause they have violated the residency laws of the country. NOBODY disputes that. But when expats with legal residency are unfairly targeted and harassed, that is deplorable. Either limit the intake of foreigners to what the market forces require and have a strictly enforced law that keeps it that way. But after an expat applies for a job, passes the interview or other criteria and joins work, RESPECT that individual because he is contributing positively to your economy. He has filled a vacancy that your national could/would not! Expats DO NOT hate your guts but is grateful for the opportunity to earn decent wages to sustain his family. What he does hate is unfair DISCRIMINATION despite being a law-abiding legal resident.
Posted by: RAH Saturday, 15 June 2013 1:05 PM[UAE] - KuwaitI think, I think, I think.. This crackdown has happened in response to the run up to the Constitutional Court's ruling this Sunday on the Amir's past decree of one vote per person which has angered the opposition and made them go out into the streets.
I think the reason of this crackdown is to scare the expats into hiding so that IF the court ruled the Amir acted constitutionally by changing the voting system (i.e. his right as Amir), the opposition have vowed to cause chaos and won't accept this ruling. This means that the police will have one helluva time in getting law and order back.
As a result, with expats making up 70% of Kuwait, scare them into hiding, leaves just 30% of the population (i.e. the Kuwaitis) out to cause chaos. Now remove the infants and elderly, that'll be 20% who may cause chaos. Remove those uninterested in chaos, leaves you with 10% which means the police can better handle the situation!
That's what I think.Posted by: marvin Monday, 17 June 2013 9:06 AM[UAE] - UAEWhy do you think that expats care about your political system? They don't and this disputes your arrogant theory. They only want to make a living and get out of your country with no care for the country, because of how they were treated by the system.
Posted by: marvin Friday, 14 June 2013 1:21 PM[UAE] - UAEThe subcontinent needs to prepare for all their nationals that will be returning home in an exedus from the Gulf. Why should the Gulf welcome illegal nationals, either they validate their stay according to the law in these nations or they return to their homeland.
Posted by: Kuwaiti Friday, 14 June 2013 4:07 PM[UAE] - KuwaitWell said. There were enough opportunities (Amnesty) for the illegal to go back home. Many of them never went back may be fearing arrest for crime committed back home.

Rich Technohippies and Their Utopian Fantasies
Technophiles are twice as likely as the average person to make more than $150,000 a year.
Keeping up with technology makes people optimistic about the future and happier about their kids or maybe they just feel better because they tend to be pretty well off financially. A survey from Ogilvy Chicago and Communispace Corp. divides tech users into several categories, from the luddites to the well-wired. The latter group, with its command of IT knowledge and early adoption of cutting-edge technology, is described as being "tech fast forward," but we'll just call them technophiles. The researchers were less interested in the technology usage and purchase patterns of this crowd and more intrigued by their general attitudes about life especially with regard to their perspectives as parents (single people were not a focus of the survey). What emerges is an encouraging picture (or pleasant fantasy) of how technology not only connects people, but provides a greater sense of hope for the present and future. More than 1,200 took part in the research. For more information about the survey, click here .
