For many children, and some adults, Christmas Eve is a night of wonder, excitement and a little bit of magic, all created by one jolly old man with a boisterous laugh. This man, often referred to as Santa Claus, is somewhat of a mystery to adults.
For many children, and some adults, Christmas Eve is a night of wonder, excitement and a little bit of magic, all created by one jolly old man with a boisterous laugh. This man, often referred to as Santa Claus, is somewhat of a mystery to adults. But students in Amy Byrd's first-grade class at Walker Elementary School in the Samantha community are completely dialed in to his 365-day-a-year operation. Some even say they have concrete evidence of Santa's existence.
Long before Christmas Eve arrives, Santa and his little elves are busy making toys for all of the boys and girls in the world. But only "good people" get presents, said 7-year-old Brian Watson. "Bad people don't get anything." Sometimes bad children will get coal in their stocking, but that is all, a few other students explained.
Santa knows if children are good or bad because "he can see us when we're sleeping," said 6-year-old Mary Grace Montgomery. He then puts everyone's name on a good or bad list, said Caroline Barger. The good list is definitely longer than the bad list, the 7-year-old added.
The toys are then divvied up among the children based on their Christmas wishes. Those wishes are explained in letters that children write to Santa and mail to the North Pole, said 7-year-old Robert Estis.
"Sometimes he doesn't give you what you want. He gives you a surprise," Estis said. "I like his surprises."
Some of the students said they send emails instead of writing letters, because "it's faster."
When Christmas Eve arrives, the elves help Santa load up the sleigh and then he takes off. Jacob Minchew, 7, said there are a lot of reindeer attached to the sleigh, and they fly, added 7-year-old Jonas Sartain.
"The reindeer have some of the elves' power. They are supposed to fly fast because he has too many reindeer," said 7-year-old Lucy Lunceford. "Some reindeer plus more reindeer equal a lot of feet. That's how he gets to everyone's house. But it's a long night."
Santa visits all the houses, sometimes landing on the roof or the grass, depending on the house, said Kaisen Lawrence, 6. Typically, Santa makes his way down a chimney, but if a house does not have a chimney, then he makes one with his magic, according to 6-year-old Sabrina Boatman, or he just comes in the back door, said Jeremiah Jent, 6, adding that he knows this because his mother told him; he has never seen Santa come in the back door.
Santa also never gets burnt because he wears a fire-proof suit, said 6-year-old Allee Taylor.
Sometimes Santa does not even climb down the chimney; his elves climb down instead and they put all the presents under the tree, said Brayden Cannon, 7.
When the night is finished, Santa returns home to Mrs. Claus and, with the help of his elves, he puts away all of the leftover presents to use next year, said 6-year-old Angel Suire. Then he sleeps for a "whole day because he's really tired from what he does," Taylor said.
Some of the students boasted of actually seeing Santa in action, and they had proof. Taylor puts out reindeer food — made of oatmeal, glitter and sometimes rice — on the grass outside her house and every year when she wakes up, the food is gone.
McKinley Evans, 6, said she saw Santa putting presents under her tree on Christmas Eve last year. She ran to wake up her brother, so he could also see, and then they hid because Santa is not supposed to see them. She was unable to take a photo that night.
Estis, however, has evidence of Santa's existence in the form of a sleigh bell that was left in his front yard, right next to foot tracks. He said he put the bell away with all of his special things, where no one can find it. Elijah Kimbrell said he found a piece of Santa's beard in his chimney.
"I didn't hear him scream, though, because I'm a hard sleeper," said the 7-year-old. "But I'm sure he would have."
With or without proof, their unwavering belief in Santa was real, and their love of the holiday — because "you get what you want sometimes," according to 6-year-old Ethan Boatman — is something that will continue, at least for a few more years. Each student has a favorite part of Christmas, from 7-year-old Melynna Watkins celebrating the birth of Jesus to Suire's enjoyment of getting all of the candy from her stocking.
But Lucy Lunceford summed it up best: "Giving is the real meaning of Christmas."

Vincenzo Bellini
1801 – 1835
Vincenzo Bellini short biography
One of the greatest Italian opera composers, Vincenzo Bellini had his first success in Milan at the age of 26. Bellini's first opera Il Pirata has instantly established his enormous career. For the most of his opera creations Bellini worked with the librettist Felice Romani and tenor G. B. Rubini. From 1827 to 1833 all Bellini's operas, including La Sonnambula and Norma, created him an international recognition. In 1833 four of Bellini's operas were staged in London with the unprecedented success. Similar success was repeated in Paris where Bellini was commissioned to write I puritani for the Théâtre-Italien. It was in Paris where Bellini met Rossini and Chopin. Bellini died in Paris at the age of 34, just reaching the highest point of his success.

Power, Gender, and Social Change in Africa
Gender plays a hugely significant and too often under-considered role in predicting how accessible resources such as education, wage-based employment, physical and mental health care, adequate nutrition and housing will be to an individual or community.
According to a 2001 World Bank report titled Engendering Development Through Gender Equality in Rights, Resources, and Voice, enormous disparities exist between men and women in terms of basic rights and the power to determine the future, both in Africa and around the globe. A better understanding of the links between gender, public policy and development outcomes would allow for more effective policy formulation and implementation at many levels. This book, through its discussion of the challenges, achievements and lessons learned in efforts to attain gender equality, sheds light on these important issues.
The book contains chapters from an interdisciplinary group of scholars, including sociologists, economists, political scientists, scholars of law, anthropologists, historians and others. The work includes analysis of strategic gender initiatives, case studies, research, and policies as well as conceptual and theoretical pieces.
With its format of ideas, resources and recorded experiences as well as theoretical models and best practices, the book is an important contribution to academic and political discourse on the intricate links between gender, power, and social change in Africa and around the world.

★★★★★ - "Our kitchen was 50 years old and in desperate need of remodeling when I called JC General Cleaning Services for help. Bernie came over to look at the space asking about our plans for the kitchen in terms of desired cooking capability, storage space and entertainment features. He took voracious notes from which he created plans for an incredibly modern design that would fit within our budget and meet our goals.
He and his team completed the job on time and on budget. They created an amazing space that actually makes us feel a lot more "at home" in our kitchen. Especially if you're not sure exactly what you need, call JC General Cleaning Services for creative ideas and great results, Thanks Julio"

Michelle Ronaud in Bedford Hills, NY2019-10-28
★★★★★ - "I'm a busy mother of 4 children and reached out to JC General Cleaning Service. I spoke with Julio and he was able to come the same day to give me an estimate for a deep clean. For the size of my home, the price was reasonable. Julio came in and searched places in my home for dust that I didn't think he would check. He was able to get his group to my home on a Saturday. Was very comfortable to leave my home with the group of ladies that came to clean. They did an AWESOME job. I don't think I've ever seen my marble countertops shine the way they did in my bathroom and kitchen. I would highly recommend them. I'm very picky when it comes to having my home cleaned professionally. I never thought they could clean it the way I do, but... they cleaned it better. I'm happy to finally have found someone to come bi-weekly and get the job done for me while I'm on mommy duties."

★★★★★ - "JC General Cleaning Services did a fantastic move-in cleaning. They arrived on time and got right to work with all equipment. They knew what needed to be done more than I did, found and removed mold in the bath and had the solution and worked hard. They did windows, cabinets, oven, fridge and windows. A great job and required no supervision. Was proud of her work and I am extremely satisfied , Thanks Julio .."
Lory Meyers in Cornwall Bridge, CT
★★★★★ - "I can recommend highly the services provided by JC General Cleaning Svc . Coming back home after a long absence, I found my living room covered with paint dust coming from the ceiling. JC General Cleaning cleaned everything: dusted paintings & frames, books & bookshelves, vacuumed and waxed the floor, carefully hand washed my collection of antique china, polished all silver and bronze objects, dusted and waxed the furniture. This thorough and excellent job was done expeditiously and with grace.
In all the years I have lived in Darien, CT, I never experienced such a thorough and professional clean up. I was very grateful to my son for suggesting to hire them to clean up this disaster. I truly recommend JC General Cleaning Service highly , Thanks Julio"

Lahle Everett in Cornwall Bridge, CT
★★★★★ - "I had them come in after a big renovations. They came in and did an assessment first and provided a proposal. On the day of the clean 5 people showed up with all the cleaning supplies including back vacs. Because of the construction they vacuumed the walls, opened all the new cabinet draws and cabinets, hand cleaned my chandelier and really did a thorough job. I was very pleased with the work they did and the cost was on par for the job. I recommend Jc Cleaning Services,"
Miriam S. in Old Greenwich, CT

They were on time, thorough, efficient, neat, and took great care as they whipped through the house. Working with Julio Chabla was a breeze when we set up the appointment. This is a really good example of how hired services should work."
Eileen C-M in Kent Lakes, NY

From arriving at my house promptly, walking me through everything that would be taken care of, and answering all of my questions, they took care of everything!
Friendly, expert, helpful and committed service is what you'll get from Jc general cleaning . Whenever I'm cleaning up before or after a get-together, that's who I'll call. If I ever move out of my home and into another, need to do seasonal cleaning, or just really need the best and deepest clean, I'm giving Julio a call!
I HIGHLY recommend JC General Cleaning Services LLC."

★★★★★ - "Our small office had been using using JC General cleaning Sevices LLc for about a year with the same cleaner coming in 2x a month. Results were OK. This month our old cleaner was replaced with Perasia and she was great! The cleaning was so much more thorough - she was down on her knees scrubbing, pulling out furniture to sweep, mopped fully, and was careful not to disrupt anyone's desk while cleaning. We are planning to request her as our regular cleaner from now on. So all in all, JC General Cleaning Services LLc is good as long as the right person comes to do the job."

I know I can always rely on Julio and his girls to do the job the right way. They will also use my / their alternative cleaners, which are nontoxic for my son. I highly recommend this service to anyone. You will be very satisfied, and hopefully you can serve your family for months and months, as he has done with mine! Five stars all around. Thanks in Julio.

More importantly, JC General Cleaning Services are great with our kids and we love having them around. Bonus points to them for bring their own products that are non-toxic and baby safe. We would never hire anyone else to care for our home :)"

★★★★★ - "I've been using JC General Cleaning Services for cleaning my Home in Stamford CT for over a year now and can highly recommend him/them. They do a superb job of cleaning, getting even the little out of the way spots clean. And he/they are very polite and courteous. My Home is always thoroughly clean afterwards and I'm very pleased with the job they do."
Carl F. in Stamford, CT2015-01-20
★★★★★ - "As the landlord of a previous review, communication was my biggest error. When working with companies it is always important to make sure both parties are in agreement of the job requirements and expectations. I found Julio to be very professional and responsive on my very first call. When my contractor let me know that certain items needed to be readdressed in regard to the cleaning, I called Luis. Not only did he correct the problem, he had someone out there with in the hour. Julio then made a follow up call to make sure I was satisfied. I will use his company again in the future."
Linda C. in Westport, CT2015-01-20
★★★★★ - "JC General Cleaning Services and his team provide a great house cleaning service. They have consistently done an excellent job cleaning my home. They are also honest and reliable (never a cancellation). They are really great people and I enjoy having them in my home. JC General Cleaning Services also does additional work at reasonable prices such as: Painting, caulking...
I highly recommend them - you will be delighted with their work and their energy."
Renee C. in Katonah, NY2015-01-20
★★★★★ - "We hired JC General Cleaning Services to deliver air scrubbers and to clean following an extremely dusty floor replacement project. Our business runs on a tight schedule and had to be up and running the very next day. JC General Cleaning Services had two crews arrive at 6am just as scheduled - one to do the high areas, and another to do the areas below 8'. We have several areas with exposed ceiling with lots of pipes and ductwork and cabinetry and the high crew did a superb job cleaning all these hard to reach areas. It is now probably cleaner than when we moved in! The low crew did a great job as well. They cleaned areas that I wouldn't have even thought to clean...
They were very accommodating about rescheduling the job and coordinating it for an exact time to synchronize with the contractors' schedules. The price was fair and the entire experience was positive from beginning to end."
Ethan P. in Stamford, CT2015-01-20
★★★★★ - "JC General Cleaning Services and his team are absolutely amazing. I've worked with quite a few cleaning services and no one comes close to JC General Cleaning. My place always looks fantastic after JC General Cleaning comes through. They use extreme care in cleaning everything, something I really appreciate. The icing on the cake is that JC General Cleaning is extremely responsive, and his team is just so darn nice. Actually, even if he was a jerk (which he is not), I would probably still use his services cuz he's just that awesome. I can't say enough nice things about JC General Cleaning Services LLC."
Alice L. in Danbury, CT2015-01-20
★★★★★ - "I've been very impressed by Julio and her team and I will continue to use them for regular house cleaning. I've developed sever allergies since moving from NY to Redding CT so I needed someone to do a deep cleaning of my home and then continue with regular semi-monthly cleaning. Julio came to my home to meet me in person and give me an estimate. This made me very comfortable with letting someone new into my home. Julio understood my allergy issues and took great notes on what I needed. The deep clean was very thorough. I was impressed to see the team of two cleaning closet shelves and inside cabinets. They even re-organized my linen and cleaning supply closet (they asked before starting) and it looks great. And I'm pretty sure I could eat off my floors if I wanted to. But I really appreciate the details. They cleaned out my toaster, washed my balcony, vacuumed the dog beds and refreshed toilet paper supplies in both bathrooms. They used my vacuum (at my request) and cleaned it when they were done. These seem like obvious things, but they weren't being done by my previous house cleaner. I'm very happy with JC General Cleaning Services so far." Tiffany B. in Redding, CT"

The scope of IBM's annual convention circuit now appears to accommodate for a major event almost every month. Given this breadth and regularity, it is perhaps comforting to see that the developer-centric focus (formerly known as Rational) of IBM Innovate is still a solid part of the firm's outreach program.

This year's Orlando-based symposium included announcements encompassing new software, training, and resources plus a few key realignments and adjustments in areas impacting desktop, mobile, and cloud applications.
Falling under the IBM SmartCloud and IBM MobileFirst banners, the firm insists that its new and enhanced product sets share a devoted observance to the needs of the DevOps function. The firm considers DevOps to be an integrated (although competing) approach to software delivery that integrates an organization's culture, processes, and tools. As IBM sees it, the goal of DevOps is to enable continuous software delivery.
First to the table among the new and refreshed offerings is an IBM SmartCloud Analytics group product known as Log Analysis. This cloud portfolio analytics tool is designed to give programmers insights into "terabytes of unstructured data" produced by both infrastructure and applications themselves. The product produces automated analysis delivered into IT asset logs.
The IBM SmartCloud Monitoring Application Insight launch now joins this group for real-time performance and availability analysis of applications hosted on a cloud. The ability to embed monitoring capabilities during the development process makes it easier for developers to understand how an application is being used once it has been deployed.
Kristof Kloeckner, general manager for IBM Rational Software, explained the new expanded IBM SmartCloud Application Services. "Now, developers can use SmartCloud Application services to deploy and manage applications written in the PHP language using Zend Server 6. PHP is a popular general-scripting language that is designed for web development. Support for this new language provides organizations with greater choice and flexibility in development options and makes it easier for developers to create cloud-native applications."
Other new offerings have been released to help save time and money during the development and testing phases of the DevOps lifecycle including IBM Rational Test Workbench.
According to IBM, developers and testers now have the ability to record, modify, playback, and evaluate testing scenarios to automate the hundreds (or thousands even) of tests that each model of a mobile device must go through. They can now also virtualize parts of the application that are not completed yet, in order to test earlier in the process.
NOTE: IBM today also unveiled an expansion of developerWorks so that new sites within the network include mobile, cloud, big data, WebSphere application development, and the new developerWorks Labs. What used to be known as alphaWorks (the developer prototyping division) now falls under the developerWorks umbrella.
Also announced at this event is IBM Worklight & IBM SmartCloud Application Services, a new no-cost trial for developers to build applications and deploy into IBM SmartCloud using IBM Worklight technology. Programming teams will be able to build mobile applications while avoiding capital purchases — once the application has been developed, delivery through the IBM SmartCloud has also been simplified.

Translation: KDE op Platt!
Thomas Diehl has created a new language project branch for a Plattdüütsch (Low Saxon) translation of KDE (ISO code: nds). The language is spoken in Northern Germany, the Netherlands and even in parts of the Mennonite Community in the United States and Paraguay. There are several millions of Plattdüütsch speakers, but Low Saxon -- stuck in the middle of German, English (Anglo-Saxons!) and Dutch -- is on the decline in favour of official languages such as German or Dutch.
Started as a comprehensive Linux translation project by Jürgen Lueters quite a while ago, it was decided that KDE would be translated first. This is due to the popularity of KDE, although Gnome will follow later. The platt-internalization project has Sven Hertzberg of Gnome-Germany on board. Gnome-de also hosts the current mailing list of the project.
Up to now 94% of strings in the basic files are translated, but the project will have to start sustainable translation with more contributors. Contributions, reviews and user testing is very much appreciated to make the dream of KDE op platt real. Project coordinator Heiko Evermann counts on you.
At the Gnu/Linux Informationstage event (6/7 March) in Wilhelmshaven, Germany a project member, Thomas Templin of
There is no unified Plattdüütsch dialect, so the project will have to develop its own dialect. The project chose to be close to the dialect used in public media. Despite of public discrimination (sometimes regarded as a rural German dialect) there is little Low Saxon content in public radio broadcasting. However it will depend on the translators to create a common ground. Professional linguistic advice is also welcome. The project is assisted by the well-known linguistic Institut für Niederdeutsche Sprache, Bremen.
The translation project also creating a database of computer words. There is no Plattdüütsch computer vocabulary yet despite words like
Plattdüütsch (Low Saxon) is a regional language recognized by the European Regional and Minority Language Charter. It is applied in some federal states in Germany, so that a government agency is obliged to reply to citizens in Low Saxon. As the application of the European charter is still weak in Germany a KDE translated to Plattdüütsch may increase the adoption of Linux/KDE in administration. The BMI (German federal ministry of interior), very much in favor of Linux, has to write year reports about the applications of the Charter, so maybe we could get funding from this government agency.
Although speakers of Low Saxon are able to communicate in at least one other language such as German, Dutch, Dansk, English it is a competitive advantage to have a desktop environment available in your native language. Many young people don't speak the language anymore, but it easy to learn, and easy to understand, so it makes you feel at home. We don't underestimate the geek-factor of KDE-op-platt (KDE in Low Saxon). Especially for the Frisian people it can assist them to keep their identity despite carrying a Dutch or German passport. Unlike other people groups in Europe Frisians are non-militant despite continuous public language discrimination.
Conservative approaches of the past are commonly rejected by the project, because they only enforced the colonialization of our culture. We don't want "back to the roots", we want a full-featured and modern desktop. And living in coastal areas for centuries there is even much more experience with shells :-). According to the old Frisian slogan "Lever dod as slaav"(Better dead than slave) we need a free operating environment that enables us to exercise and hack our culture. This is the benefit of an Open Source licensed desktop environment in comparison with closed source.

Re: Klapprekner...
What a horrible thought...I am a native English speaker, and while English-ueber-alles would help me personally, the loss of very important languages (and important related culture, poetry, and literature) is depressing.
English is a very common "universal language", granted, but it's important to note that it's almost always spoken as a SECOND language. It's not displacing people's first languages, and I fear for the day it does.
To put things in some context, Turkish was also once a common "second language" when it was at the height of its empire. Now it isn't. People didn't change their primary languages--they just learned the second language that was most useful for their era.
Long live Niederdeutsch (and Welsh, and...)!

Right. Hungary was under Turkish domination for 150 years, after came the Hasburgs, german was the official language, now I live in Romania and still Hungarian is my first language. That's after 400+ years when the Turkish domination started.
By Andras Mantia at Fri, 2004/01/30 - 6:00am
Re: Klapprekner...
Good point. At the point of a gun, people do change their first languages. I was actually referring to people who actually voluntarily started speaking Turkish in France, Germany, etc to communicate with the Ottomans.
Hopefully we are past the point in history where people are compelled to change their native languages. I'm not entirely confident of that though.
Anyway, there's nothing inherently good or bad about any language. If it succeeds in communicating ideas between two people, it's effective. It is in the nature of languages to change and to borrow from each other. Change is not a sign of weakness in the language, but rather the method by which languages have always survived.
Best of luck to KDE's internationalization efforts.

Re: Klapprekner...
Asking for the right train in Amsterdam should be doable in German, although I doubt I could ask for my right train in Germany... (Not a real problem for me, since I speak German and some French too.) However, I guess you are right, languages are changing and incorporating new foreign words. This is not a new thing however. In Dutch, there are heavy French influences as well. A language is not a static object. It is alive, it develops. In the speach of the young people, you now see more and more words originating from Papiamento, Turkish and Moroc emerging, simply because immigrants start to mingle more and more into society. That is not a bad thing, and although you should not forget your own language and give in too easily to using foreign words where perfectly good native words are available, you should not be too frightened to let the language change either. Look at how France is behaving in this respect to see how not to handle it...
By André Somers at Fri, 2004/01/30 - 6:00am
Re: Klapprekner...
Yes. This is hapenning to English as well, but in a different way. For example, people now apply any prefix or suffix they fancy to any word, and use all words as though they were verbs. This is very flexible, and a useful trait for non-native speakers, but not always very pretty to look at.
Eric Raymond says this is an orginally _hackish_ trait, which is now spreading into common usage. He claims that English is turning into a pure positional grammar, like Chinese.
I don't know what to think about that. I personally think it is a little like Esperanto, which is the perfect second language. I feel a little sorry that everyone has to speak English to be closely involved with the FOSS world as this is a limiting factor, and is not fair on non-native speakers. I wish everyone would learn Esperanto at school since it is about as perfect as a natural language can be, is easy to express yourself in, and would be so much quicker for everyone to learn.

Re: Klapprekner...
Jes, Esperanto!
Even if English is spoken by about 25% of the people all over the world (like Chinese) and Esperanto "only" by estimated 15-45M people (~ 0.1%), I am sure that Esperanto will get the dominant language!
2 reasons:
1. Effort
Experiments have shown that learning Esperanto is 4times (jes, 4 = 400%) easier
We see, that English will never have a chance to be spoken by all people, because the effort is 3times higher.
2. political reasons
Esperanto is an absolutely neutral language, not connected to any country or

Changing languages
Dutch as a very extreme example of how much a language can change in a relatively short period of time. Dutch people will have difficulty reading texts written in 1900, and only a few will understand texts written in 1800.
Of course the Netherlands are a small trading nation with lots and lots of internationnal contacts. It's hard to find any Dutch person younger than 50 who isn't speaking english. This makes the language very influential for the Dutch.
I am even starting to make the same errors as native english speakers, like mixing up they're, there and their ;-)

Re: Klapprekner...
Throughout history there has typically been a "lingua franca", but the dominant language has only recently become English. There's no reason to expect that it will remain English forever.
Kudos to the Platt team, I think it's good for humanity to retain diversity and cultural identity as possible, and language is a huge part of this.
By LMCBoy at Fri, 2004/01/30 - 6:00am
Re: Klapprekner...
I don't think so. The most important language today is probably Chinese. But i will never speak or learn chinese. Don't forget Hindi...
However these languages are underrepresented. Unlike German for instance.
7 % of the worlds web pages are in German!
I think the Germans shall stop to "autocolonialize". Language diversity is important. And German is not that inimportant as most Germans think. Same is valid for Dutch.

Re: Klapprekner...
English is as difficult for Chinese people as Chinese for us. Chinese by the way is a very simple language. Mandarin, Beijing dialect, Kontonese ecc. Chinese languages are spoken in CHINA by billions. Of course, a chinese you will meet outside china will speak the language of his host country or english or chinese. But even in HongKong English is on the decline.

Re: Klapprekner...
As I said, unless you intend to go there, in which case you may want to learn chinese or stick to tourist traps (which I heard now include about 20% of the chinese territory ;-)
I doubt learning chinese is as easy for us as learning english for them, but not knowing chinese, that´s just my ignorance speaking. Well, that and that a language consisting of one-syllable words must have some sort of trick to it.
By Roberto Alsina at Sat, 2004/01/31 - 6:00am
Re: Klapprekner...
Actually, most words in Mandaring Chinese are two syllables, and there is a strong tendency to three syllables. And there is an enormous number of set phrases that are in really frequent use, the constituent parts of which often make little sense in isolation. I had three main problems learning Chinese -- the tones, the script (not difficult, just a lot of work) and those set phrases.

Maybe every country should make an effort and teach their children to speak a few more languages. It would bind countries together, teach other people's culture and so on. But it does not always seem to been in the politics best interest to educate the masses. Just a thought.

Well, it *is* in the politics best interest, unless yo are ruled by aliens who are not part of your own society, although they may not agree with it.

Re: Klapprekner...
German, Dutch, and other Europian languages are *not* under threat of being extinguished. However, influence from English will pollute our languages severely. At least this is what happened historically.
In the middle ages, Latin was very popular. So, a lot of germanic languages started to import latin words. In the end, native words disappeared. Take for example the word colour. Except for German, all germanic languages use the latin word for it. (I.e. Dutch: kleur, Swedish: kolorit) Somebody know the original non-latin word for it? It is "varuw".
It happened with english as well. Originally, english was very much a pure germanic language. This, however, changed under influence of French. English grammar became much more illogical and a lot of words, even very basic ones, were replaced with French words.
It is very likely that this will happen with German, Dutch and other languages as well. A lot of English words will be imported, grammar will erode (i.e. words like download and upload simply do not fit well in Dutch & German grammar). The languages will survive, but wether we should be happy with it is doubtfull.

Being English I actually envy many European people as to how well they can speak English (even better than us) and can also speak their own native language and others to. With America, I think we live in a somewhat closed and ignorant world regarding our language.
Of course being English I complain about the many American spellings creeping into our language, but I suppose everyone has something to complain about when it comes to their own language. I think projects like these are great, as it proves that if there is a language out there it can be kept alive and people can use it. English may come first these days, and these projects may server no other purpose than educational value, but they can be done and they are there and that's what counts. There are projects like this in the open source world for Welsh, presumably Gaelic, although I haven't checked, and other languages from all over the world. We may eventually get some sort of Universal Translator out of this - I wouldn't laugh.

Re: Multi-lingual
Languages are not static. They live, they develop. Being a native german speaker I appreciate very much the plattdeutsch initiative taken. Even if some languages disappear throughout the ages - it doesnt matter. As long as things keep moving. I love the many varieties of the regions in Europe. When I came the first time to England I was very astonished about evrybody speaking proudly in his local accent or even language (Welsh e.g.). That has been very different in Germany for years. Dialects were misunderstood as sociolects and banned - in TV, school and daily life. Now it is coming back, thanks god!

Re: Multi-lingual
Please remember that the modern English today has been influenced by so many other cultures. You guys over on the island had French governments after 1066, but yet, you don't speak French. Hadn't you had French occupants, we would probably still speak the same language. Or it would be as close as Dutch and Platt German.
Being a professional linguist, I can add to this discussion that our modern dialects are in no way degenerations of standard languages. It's the other way round. Dialects offer a richness in semantics and partially also in syntax which is not possible to use in standard languages.
When I studied Middle English (Chaucer, Canterbury Tales) my Bavarian dialect was a great help, since there have been many changes up to modern English. Bavarian partially still has the kind of pronounciation and morphological properties which were used at Chaucer's times and before. I'm sure Platt also has.
For this reason I can only praise every effort to support dialects, since they offer chances to understand and read languages thich have already died out. They are like live telescopes which offer us a look into the past.
As we see, language changes, which is a natural process. And if there is the ethnic will to survive as a cultural identity, every culture can survive. Don't worry, English in not like BORG language... :-) even though it influences other cultures...

I have been trying to do something similar...
for the Dialect/language of my home town, Genoa. However, Zeneise does not have any ISO code, as far as I know. For me this is just a fun/learning project, mind you. I went so far as cloning part of the italian translation directory, and translating a handful of strings, however, I can't get KDE to use my new catalogues. That is, I managed to have a "Zeneise" entry in the control panel, but the catalogs do not seem to be loaded correctly. Does anybody have any hint for me?
By Luciano at Fri, 2004/01/30 - 6:00am
Re: I have been trying to do something similar...
Oh, so that´s what Zeneise was. I always wondered why these guys called themselves Xeneizes: http://www.bocajuniors.com.ar/
The Genoa connection makes it all make sense, since that neighborhood was full of Genoan immigrants :-)
By Roberto Alsina at Fri, 2004/01/30 - 6:00am
Re: I have been trying to do something similar...
Oh! That indeed seems to be the case. In fact, there is even a famous (well, in Genoa) song in dialect about an emigrant (who quite possibly went to Argentina, since his son was speaking spanish...) longing for home!
By Luciano at Sat, 2004/01/31 - 6:00am
Re: I have been trying to do something similar...
1) you need good (i.e. up-to-date) po-templates from kde-i18n/templates. These fit to a current KDE. Best for a start would be release candidate 1 with its template directory.
2) create /opt/kde3/kde-i18n/xxx with xxx being your iso code, or (if you do not have one) invent one and use that for the time being
3) copy the files from kde-i18n/nds or similar: they contain makefile templates (makefile.am) and an important file "entry.desktop". Edit this file: insert your language name. This file will be installed in the KDE locales directory and makes your language selectable in the KDE language selector in the control center
4) add xxx (your language code) to kde-i18n/subdirs. Limit subdirs to the languages that you really need, otherwise you can get a good cup of coffee for the following:
5) do "make Makefile.cvs" in kde-i18n. This (thanks to the file subdirs) will generate a configure in xxx.
6) do "./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3" (or whereever your kde base directory is)
7) cd to xxx
8) make and "make install" will install your po-files.
9) this works fine for all po-files except the desktop-files. Their content needs to be merged into the applink-files and need special treatment by scripty. The results of this will only be seen by "cvs update" on the respective kde subdirectory (e.g. kdebase or kdeedu) the day after. There might be tricks to do that by hand, but at the moment I do not have experience with that.
10) for quick tests (like I did for kdelibs.po) use kde-i18n/en_GB (british english) and just replace po-files there with your po-files in genuese. make and make install. Choose british English in the control center. Your strings will appear (except of course for the applinks of the desktop-files). kdelibs.po shows up pretty much everywhere, konqueror is a good start too.
Tell me if that works, or if you encounter further problems with this.

I think it's fantastic
Having a Mennonite background myself, and having lived in the heart of Paraguay for one year, I can say that Plattdeutsch is still very alive (you just have to look in the right places). It is, however, in decline. My parents still speak it fluently and often. And I'm willing to bet that a Plattdeutsch version of KDE will be used by at least a few people.

December is here and that means that the holiday baking season is now upon us! I wanted to ease into the baking and since I was craving something with cinnamon, snickerdoodles seemed like the perfect thing to start with. Snickerdoodles are a cookie that is rolled in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon before baking and they are so addictively good! One of the things that is so amazing about snickerdooles is how easier they are to make; I mean really, all that needs to be done is mix the wet ingredients, mix the dry ingredients, mix them together, roll, coat and bake. All said and done you will be passing those tasty little treats back an forth between your hands, blowing on them to cool, in less than 20 minutes!
Excuse me while I get back to my milk and snickerdoodles.
Sugar cookies rolled in cinnamon and sugar that are oh so simple and yet oh so good!
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Cream the butter and sugar and then beat in the egg followed by the vanilla extract.
- Mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet.
- Form the dough into balls 1 inch across, roll them into a mixture of the sugar and cinnamon and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated 375F/190C oven for 8-10 minutes.

Automation Anywhere has announced Testing Anywhere LOAD as a load test automation product for IT Quality Assurance (QA) teams and organizations. The firm's tools are designed to work on desktops, mobile devices, websites, and web applications.
Key features for testing here include automated and real-time processes so users can convert existing functional tests to load test. Users can also customize the configuration of any load and use reporting tools to zero in on and resolve any performance problems.
NOTE: With Automation Anywhere, an entire test cycle can be automated in hours, and scheduling capabilities allow tests to run automatically at predefined times.
"Ensuring that websites or applications can withstand concurrent or heavy usage is pivotal to any organization's viability and, just as importantly, its reputation," said Mihir Shukla, founder and CEO of Automation Anywhere. "With Testing Anywhere LOAD, efficiently-executed tests can be run on any software application, website, API, user interface, database, installation, and network. The pressure is on QA teams to verify performance and our simple-to-schedule automated load testing will reduce an organization's testing efforts by an average of 50 to 70 percent."
Key features of Testing Anywhere LOAD include a Visual Load Test Editor to visualize tests as web pages rather than individual HTTP requests, a visual reporting and logging function to analyze and isolate performance bottlenecks instantly with configurable log details and reports.
Also here we find load configuration to simulate real-word scenarios by varying the load profile with virtual users, load type, duration, delay, and performance measurement thresholds. Parameterization works to replay recorded tests with unique user-defined parameters on a per-field basis, then Synchronization works to synchronize multiple requests from different virtual users to simulate real-world concurrent load scenarios.

How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Olanzapine belongs to group of medications known as antipsychotic/antimanic agents. Olanzapine is used to treat schizophrenia and related mental disorders, as well as bipolar disorder.
Schizophrenia can cause symptoms such as hallucinations (e.g., hearing, seeing, or sensing things that are not there), delusions, unusual suspiciousness, and emotional withdrawal. People with this condition may also feel depressed, anxious, or tense.
Bipolar disorder can cause alternating periods of depression and mania (abnormally elevated or irritable mood) or "mixed episodes" where people have symptoms of both depression and mania. Olanzapine may be used, alone or in combination with other medications, to treat the manic or mixed episodes (but not the depression) of bipolar disorder.
Medications like olanzapine are thought to work by correcting the balance of neurotransmitters (chemicals that control the function of nerve pathways) in the brain.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
5 mg
Each yellow, round, biconvex, orally disintegrating tablet, marked with "S" on one side and "5" on the other, contains 5 mg of olanzapine. Nonmedicinal ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, mint powder (flavouring agent), hydroxypropyl cellulose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, and talc.
10 mg
Each yellow, round, flat, orally disintegrating tablet, marked with "S" on one side and "10" on the other, contains 10 mg of olanzapine. Nonmedicinal ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, mint powder (flavouring agent), hydroxypropyl cellulose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, and talc.
15 mg
Each yellow, round, biconvex, orally disintegrating tablet, marked with "S" on one side and "15" on the other, contains 15 mg of olanzapine. Nonmedicinal ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, mint powder (flavouring agent), hydroxypropyl cellulose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, and talc.
20 mg
Each yellow, round, flat, orally disintegrating tablet, marked with "S" on one side and "20" on the other, contains 20 mg of olanzapine. Nonmedicinal ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, mint powder (flavouring agent), hydroxypropyl cellulose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, and talc.
How should I use this medication?
The usual starting dose of olanzapine tablets for adults with schizophrenia is 5 mg to 10 mg once daily at the same time each day. If the daily dose is increased, it is usually raised not more than once a week, and in increments of 5 mg. The dosage range is 5 mg to 20 mg daily.
The usual starting dose of olanzapine tablets for adults with bipolar disorder is 10 mg daily (if olanzapine is used in combination with other medications that treat bipolar disorder) or 15 mg daily (if olanzapine is used alone). The dose may be increased up to 20 mg daily. For the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder, the dose ranges from 5 mg to 20 mg daily.
The orally disintegrating olanzapine tablet is placed into your mouth and begins dissolving within seconds. Once dissolved, it can be swallowed with or without liquid.
Because the orally disintegrating tablets break easily, they should be handled carefully with dry hands. You may also dissolve the tablet by placing and stirring it directly into 4 ounces (125 mL) of water, orange juice, apple juice, coffee, or milk. Drink all of the contents immediately.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.
For this medication to be effective, it is very important to use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember and continue with your regular dosing schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store this medication at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
Who should NOT take this medication?
Do not take this medication if you are allergic to olanzapine or any ingredients of the medication.

Some people may experience side effects other than those listed. Check with your doctor if you notice any symptom that worries you while you are taking this medication.
Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Body temperature: This medication, like other antipsychotic medications, can disrupt the body's ability to control body temperature. If you exercise vigorously, are exposed to extreme heat, are dehydrated, or are taking anticholinergic medications (e.g., benztropine, oxybutynin) you are more at risk. Contact your doctor as soon as possible if you feel very hot and are unable to cool down while taking this medication.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Olanzapine may impair the mental and physical abilities required for driving a car or operating machinery. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medication, as it may produce extreme drowsiness.
High blood sugar: Olanzapine, in rare instances, may cause an increase in blood sugar levels. Your doctor will monitor you if you have diabetes or are at risk of developing diabetes. If you experience weakness, increased thirst, increased urination, and increased appetite while taking this medication, contact your doctor.
Liver disease: Olanzapine can affect liver function and cause liver problems.
If you have liver problems, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Your doctor may want to test your liver function regularly with blood tests while you are taking this medication.
If you experience symptoms of liver problems such as fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain or swelling, and itchy skin, contact your doctor immediately.
Low blood pressure: Olanzapine may cause low blood pressure, especially when moving from a lying or sitting position to a standing position. If you have heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, or conditions that increase the risk of developing low blood pressure (e.g., dehydration, treatment with blood pressure medications) you should be monitored by your doctor.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS): Olanzapine, like other antipsychotic medications, can cause a potentially fatal syndrome known as neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). If you notice the symptoms of NMS such as high fever, confusion or loss of consciousness, racing or irregular heartbeat, muscle stiffness, or sweating, get immediate medical attention.
Other medical conditions: If you have other medical conditions such as enlarged prostate glands, narrow-angle glaucoma, or paralytic ileus, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Prolonged erection: In rare cases, use of this medication by some men may cause them to develop priapism (a prolonged and painful erection). If you have an erection that lasts for more than 4 hours, contact your doctor.
Seizures: Olanzapine may increase the risk of seizures, especially if you have had seizures in the past. If you are at risk of seizures and take this medication, you should be closely monitored by your doctor.
Tardive dyskinesia (TD): TD, a syndrome consisting of potentially irreversible, involuntary, repetitive movements of the face and tongue muscles, may develop in people who take certain antipsychotic medications including olanzapine.
Although TD appears most commonly in seniors, especially women, it is impossible to predict who will develop TD. The risk of developing TD increases with higher doses and long-term treatment. If your experience muscle twitching or abnormal movements of the face or tongue, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Weight gain: With long-term treatment, weight gain (averaging 5.4 kg) has occurred in people who take this medication. Weight gain tends to level off after 6 to 8 months of treatment.
Pregnancy: This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: This medication passes into breast milk. Women taking this medication should not breast-feed.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for children under the age of 18.
Seniors: There may be a higher risk of strokes, heart attacks, and deaths associated with the use of olanzapine by seniors with dementia. Seek medical attention immediately if you notice the signs and symptoms of a stroke (e.g., sudden weakness or numbness, speech problems, vision problems, dizziness, confusion, sudden severe headache) or a heart attack (e.g., discomfort or pain in the chest, back, neck, jaw, arms; sweating; shortness of breath; nausea; lightheadedness) or infection (e.g., pneumonia). Olanzapine should not be used in seniors with dementia.

Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications that you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.
