April 9, 2013 -- A trial in HP's dispute with Oracle Corp. over software support for servers running Intel Corp.'s Itanium microprocessors will be delayed while Oracle appeals a ruling on a motion in the case.
The second phase of a trial was set to begin this week to determine whether Oracle breached the contract at issue, and if so, what amount HP should be awarded in damages. That proceeding was put on hold after Oracle on Monday challenged a decision by a state judge in San Jose, Calif., that it was late in filing a claim that HP was violating its free-speech rights. In the trial's first phase, Superior Court Judge James Kleinberg agreed with HP that Oracle made a commitment to develop software supporting servers that run on Itanium chips, under an agreement the companies reached over Mark Hurd's transition from chief executive officer of HP to co-president of Oracle.
"Oracle breached its contractual commitment to HP and ignored its repeated promises of support to our shared customers for the purpose of driving hardware sales from Itanium to Sun servers," Palo Alto, California-based HP said in an e-mailed statement. "It is therefore not surprising that Oracle would make every attempt to postpone the trial and extend the uncertainty in the marketplace."
Oracle, based in Redwood City, Calif., acquired Sun Microsystems in 2010. The company argued in the first phase of the case that it never agreed to forfeit control over what software it can develop and what price it can charge. Oracle spokeswoman Deborah Hellinger declined to comment on the appeal.
In September, in response to Kleinberg's ruling, Oracle said it would continue to develop software for computers that run on the Itanium microprocessors.
Oracle filed a motion to throw out the case based on free-speech claims and filed an immediate appeal when the trial court decided the motion was untimely. A state appeals court must now rule on that question before the trial can proceed.
Before the trial, HP said it was seeking about $500 million in damages, according to a person familiar with the matter who didn't want to be identified because the damages request is confidential.

Apex senior goalkeeper Sammy Camut said it best.
"This conference – anything you thought about what it was supposed to be, it's just completely different."
The Southwest Wake Athletic Conference has no favorites anymore, just week-to-week survivors.
On Wednesday, the Apex boys soccer team scored with 1 minute, 15 seconds left in overtime to beat old rival Cary 3-2.
Neither side took the other lightly, and the result was an entertaining 100 minutes of soccer that ended with Will Tomlinson's final tally.
"We were just pushing at the end and we got a shot on goal. It took a deflection and I ran back post and finished it," Tomlinson said.
Six of Cary's seven losses have come by one goal. The Imps (2-7-1, 1-3) are averaging 2.0 goals a game and allowing 2.1, which is marked improvement from last year's numbers (3.1 allowed, 1.1 scored) that included being shut out seven times.
"When we settle down, are composed and play, we look great. We look dangerous, we're getting balls in the box and guys are holding the ball up and we're linking up and our shape is good. And sometimes, when it falls to pieces, it really falls to pieces," Coach Mike Dunphy said.
Cary hasn't quite had the breakthrough, but they have earned respect.
Apex's Aidan Buie sent the game into overtime with an 83rd minute breakaway. He raced down the right flank to set up a 1-v-1 before booting in the goal over Cary goalkeeper Johannes Dietrich, who had stonewalled several Apex attempts in the second half alone.
"Cary's a good team," Camut said. "Although I didn't have to make too many saves, the ones I did were key. They were a dangerous team. It wasn't easy shots they were taking, they were dangerous crosses."
Apex, which had just lost in overtime two nights earlier to Athens Drive, had gone up so quickly – on a Cole Pena header in the sixth minute off a Tomlinson corner kick – that Cary had to make changes. The Imps subbed almost immediately afterward, and it paid off later in the half.
"Tonight, I just saw too much of what's happened before over here and I made two changes really quick," Dunphy said. "Sometimes as coaches, you're just playing hunches. I didn't like the way it was trending. I saw bad things coming."
In the 29th minute, Cary forced Camut to make a diving save, picking the ball out of the top left corner. The ball fell to Noah Bagherpour and he played it to the penalty area to an open Lucky Tomasello, who tied the match 1-all.
Nine minutes later, Cary doubled its score as Quinn Dunphy went down the left side and sent in a low cross that was tapped in by Ignacio Rojas. Cary led 2-1 at halftime.
"Working hard cures everything, and we weren't working hard," Apex coach Kevin Todd said.
Todd said his team played in spurts. But Apex (7-2, 3-1) had the best final spurt. Cary was on the defensive for almost all of overtime before the Cougars found the winning goal.
"It does a lot for your team chemistry when you can win when things aren't going your way," Todd said. "When you can win in this kind of struggle, it can't do anything but help your chemistry and help you overall."
Coach Dunphy had one challenge for his team, whose only realistic chance at the postseason is to finish in the SWAC's top three automatic spots.
"What's going to define our team? The team that almost made it, or the team that made it? Because we're not going to make it in on our overall record," Dunphy said.

News Nation readies second channel launch as it celebrates first anniversary
MUMBAI: As the country heads into general elections, there?s a regional Hindi news channel being added.
As it celebrates its first anniversary today, News Nation, a national Hindi news channel, has geared up to enter the regional news channel space with the launch of a channel for the states of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
News Nation?s news channel for Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand is all set to be launched on 19 February. The new channel already has 200 employees on board. The dry runs of the news channel are on but the name of the channel has not yet been disclosed.
The Uttar Pradesh/Uttarakhand channel will operate from two main offices in Lucknow and Dehradun and have bureaus in 10 other cities, including in Varanasi, Jhansi, Meerut and Agra.
News Nation?s Senior Editor Ranjeet Kumar will be the editorial head of the Uttar Pradesh/Uttarakhand channel.
The channel on the launch day will be available to all cable TV viewers in the two states as well as to subscribers of DTH television service provider Freedish.
News Nation has invested almost Rs 50 crore in its second news channel. A marketing campaign for the new channel, like in the case of News Nation, will follow a month after the launch.
The new channel will initially be free of advertisements. ?We have a rule that we let the people sample the content we have, get the ratings and then reach out to advertisers,? says News Nation CEO and Editor-in-Chief, Shailesh Kumar.
The programming of the channel will be youth focussed. The vibrant colours of the two states will reflect in the logo as compared to the neutral logo of the national channel.
The Uttar Pradesh/Uttarakhand news channel will not have the usual programming focussed on entertainment, crime and astrology. The channel will have hard news but minus any sensationalism. ?You can compare News Nation to any international channel,? says Kumar buoyantly.
The network has ambitious plans to expand its presence in the country. ?We are currently studying markets to identify areas that are lacking good quality news channels and after that we will choose our locations,? says Kumar. He also added that there is no restriction on staying just in the Hindi Speaking Market (HSM).
According to TAM data provided by the channel, News Nation has garnered an average of 68 TVTs between weeks 3 and 6 for CS 15+ age group in the HSM.
News Nation is looking at signing annual advertisement deals with various clients before the election season sets in. Currently, it only has four to five minutes of advertising per hour.
After having built a credible space for itself within a year, News Nation is optimistic that its first regional channel will also achieve similar success.
?The road for us was not easy as this is an extremely cluttered genre. We clearly understood that there was a need for a Hindi news channel which was aggressive yet relevant, a channel based on pure news content yet blooming with new ideas and therefore, we came up with News Nation and within months of its launch it crossed over its competitors in terms of ratings,? says Kumar.

LISA GOLDBAUM is the founder of YummyHealth. After years of watching her two children become junk food addicts, Lisa started searching for healthier snack options that her kids would actually enjoy eating without a fight. She was disappointed to find that most so-called "healthy" snacks on the market contain as much sugar and processed starch as the regular commercial varieties, while the truly healthy snacks weren't appetizing to kids. This inspired Lisa, a former journalist, to investigate creating what would eventually become YummySnacks™—snacks made with real-food ingredients that are better for kids but still taste great and can be swapped in for their favorite junk.
Graduating from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science in 1992, Lisa worked as a financial and technology journalist for organizations including Forbes, Barron's and Institutional Investor.
She lives with her husband and co-founder Rob, children Andy and Ashley and dog Summer in Westchester, New York and is working to continue to develop new products daily for the YummySnacks line. To ensure that YummySnacks are up to kid standards, she runs every product by the "Yumsters Panel," which includes her own kids as well as those of family, friends and neighbors!
Lisa hopes that with YummySnack® products, she will be able to greatly increase parents' awareness nationally of how critical it is to reduce their kids' sugar and processed starch intake—and how much easier it can be when you have yummy-but-healthier options on hand!
Rob is the co-founder and key strategist behind YummyHealth's operations.
David joined YummyHealth in 2015 as Director of Sales and Marketing, bringing 21 years of experience to the organization. He has held sales and marketing leadership positions with premier global employers including Apple Inc. and Microsoft. In these roles, he has been responsible for leading teams of more than 20 sales and marketing professionals, meeting aggressive sales targets, growing the business 3000% in a six month span, while delivering a world-class customer experience. At YummyHealth, he oversees the broker network and serves as an account manager for top-tier customers.

How to Cook Chicken in a Crockpot & Then Grill It
A Crock-Pot allows you to cook chicken at a slow pace over low heat, which produces tender and juicy meat, but may not have the flavor that grilled chicken offers. Slow-cooking the chicken first and then grilling it allows you the best of both worlds. Your Crock-Pot will cook the chicken through, and the grill will enhance the flavor and add some crunch. Served with grilled potatoes and assorted vegetables, the Crock-Pot and your outdoor grill help you prepare a tasty and healthy meal.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Spray the interior of your Crock-Pot with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
Place your chicken breasts inside the Crock-Pot.
Step 3
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken breasts.
Step 4
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, celery seed and paprika.
Step 5
Cover the Crock-Pot with the lid and turn the heat to low.
Step 6
Cook the chicken breasts for four to five hours.
Step 7
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium high heat.
Step 8
Take the cooked chicken breasts out of the Crock-Pot, using a pair of tongs.
Step 9
Use a basting brush to coat both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil.
Step 10
Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill and cook for five to six minutes, or just until the meat begins to brown.
Step 11
Flip the chicken breasts over and cook for another five to six minutes, or until browned.
Step 12
Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter and serve immediately.

The Ionosphere, electrically charged layer of Earth's atmosphere, stretches from 50 to 100km into the sky. Responsible for radio propagation, it is possible to listen to the sound of the winds and radio signals at that altitude, using two metal poles stretching 5 to 6 metres off the ground. Linked by a variety of wires the device, hooked to a recorder and headphones, allows us to listen to the strong winds and radio signald hundreds of kilometres above us. The resulting sound can then be used and distorted with an audio editor such as Audacity or Ableton for "cosmic" relief.
"Ionosphere Orchestra", the creative composition that CAP students improvised, will make your ears bleed but it offers a view into the possibilities that can be achieved through various ethnographic practices and audio editing.

Voices of Opposition, Part 2Nehemiah
After only 52 days of dedicated work, the walls of Jerusalem had been restored. A feat that left no one in doubt that God had blessed this endeavor. But, as Ron Moore explains, sometimes our greatest moments of victory invite the most devastating attacks. From Nehemiah's example, we'll learn how to keep our focus on God when the voices of opposition threaten to pull our attention elsewhere.

Bolshoi Theater Wind Orchestra
Vladimir Andropov, conductor
Catalog #S022589CD [DDD]
Program Notes
Johannes Brahms inscribed Adele Strauss' fan with the opening bars of An der Schönen blauen Donau (the Blue Danube Waltz) and the words, "Leider nicht von Brahms" ("Regrettably not by Brahms"). This was a measure of how the great Waltz Kings, Johann Strauss and his sons, captivated the romantic yet formal Vienna society of the nineteenth century with their exhilarating tunes, which came to be played throughout the major capitals of Europe. Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort, and other crowned heads of Europe were dancing the waltz, and the waltzing craze became one of the greatest ever dance phenomena.
Johann (Baptist) Strauss (I), known as "The Father of the Waltz" was born in Vienna, Austria on March 14, 1804 and died there on September 25, 1849. He was born into a humble Jewish family of Hungarian descent and made a concerted effort to conceal his Jewish origins. When the ancestry of the family was realized by the chagrined Nazis a century later, they falsified the parish register at St. Stephen's Cathedral in 1939 to make the family racially pure. Johann's father was an innkeeper who apprenticed him to a bookbinder, but his musical talent revealed itself at an early age. After Strauss ran away, his parents consented to his becoming a musician. He studied the violin under Polyschansky and harmony under Seyfried becoming a violist in Michael Pamer's Dance Orchestra at 15. He became friends with Josef Lanner and in 1819 became a member of the latter's small band, and later served as second conductor of Lanner's orchestra (1824-25). In 1825, Strauss organized his own orchestra, which quickly became popular in Viennese inns. He composed his first waltz, Täuberln-Walzer, in 1826, transforming the rigid oom-pah of the Landler Dance into the more elegant, but still somewhat risqué, Viennese Waltz. His renown spread, and his orchestra increased in size and efficiency. From 1833 he undertook concert tours in Austria, and in 1834 was appointed bandmaster of the 1st Vienna militia regiment. His tours extended to Berlin in 1834 and to the Netherlands and Belgium in 1836. In 1837-38 he invaded Paris with a picked corps of 28, and had immense success both there and in London. In 1846 he was named k.k (i.e., kiserlich and königlich, or imperial and royal) Hofballmusikdirektor. After catching scarlet fever from one of his children, he died at the age of 45. Although he composed around 300 works, he is chiefly remembered for the lovely waltz Loreley-Rhein-Klänge and for the ubiquitous Radetzky-Marsch (1848) which honors the eponymous 82-year-old Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Austrian army. He had three sons who carried on the family musical tradition.
Johann (Baptist) Strauss (II), known as "The Waltz King" was born in Vienna on October 25, 1825 and died there on June 3, 1899. Despite his great success, the elder Strauss was adamantly opposed to the idea of his son pursuing a career in music and intended Johann II to enter the banking profession. The younger Johann, however, displayed musical gifts at an early age. He began composing when he was six years old and wrote the first 36 bars of waltz music that later was published as Erster Gedanhe. His mother arranged for him to secretly study violin with Franz Amon, the concertmaster of his father's dance orchestra. After his father left the family in 1842, he was able to pursue violin training with Anton Kohlmann and music theory with Joseph Drechsler until 1844. Every bandleader has a location with which he is identified: Guy Lombardo at the Roosevelt Grill, Freddy Martin at the Coconut Grove, Glenn Miller at the Glen Island Casino, Chick Webb at the Savoy, Bob January at the Rainbow Room. For Johann Strauss, it was Dommayer's Casino. He made his first public appearance as conductor of his own ensemble at Dommayer's Casino at Hietzing on October 15, 1844, performing both his own works and those of his father. His success was instantaneous, and his new waltzes won wide popularity. Despite his father's objections to this rivalry in the family, Johann continued his concerts with increasing success. After his father's death in 1849, he united his father's band with his own, subsequently making regular tours of Europe (1856-86). From 1863 to 1871, he was k.k. Hofballmusikdirektor in Vienna. In 1872, he accepted an invitation to visit the United States, and directed 14 "monster concerts" in Boston and 4 in New York. He then turned to the theater. His finest operetta is Die Fledermaus, an epitome of the Viennese spirit that continues to hold the stage as one of the masterpieces of its genre. It was first staged at the Theater an der Wien on April 5, 1874, and within a few months was given its New York premiere (December 29, 1874). Productions followed all over the world. It was performed in Paris with a new libretto as La Tzigane on October 30, 1877. The original version was presented there as La Chauve-souris on April 22, 1904. Also very successful was the operetta Der Zigeunerbaron premiered in Vienna on October 24, 1885. All his operettas were first produced in Vienna, with the exception of Line Nacht in Venedig that premiered in Berlin on October 3, 1883. Although Strauss composed extensively for the theater, his supreme achievement remains his dance music. He wrote almost 500 pieces of it. He brought the Viennese waltz to its highest form with his gifts for melody, interesting harmonic structures, and clever orchestrations. The Waltz King created the music that made balls flourish not just in Vienna, but all over the world. Without his wonderful compositions and his extraordinary following the ball would not have had the impact on the social life of the era. Of his waltzes the greatest popularity was achieved by An der Schönen blauen Donau, op. 314 (1867), whose main tune became one of the best known in all music. Strauss contracted 3 marriages: to the singer Henriette Treffi, the actress Angelika Dittrich, and Adele Strauss, the widow of the banker Anton Strauss, who was no relation to Johann's family. Strauss also composed numerous quadrilles, polkas, polka-mazurkas, marches and gallops as well as several pieces in collaboration with his brothers Josef and Eduard.
Josef Strauss was born in Vienna on August 22, 1827 and died there on July 21, 1870, following a fall from the conductor's podium. He studied music theory with Franz Dolleschal and violin with Franz Anton. He was trained as an engineer, and worked for the city of Vienna. In his spare time he put to good use his talents as an artist, painter, poet, dramatist, singer, composer and inventor - he designed the horse-drawn forerunner of today's revolving-brush street-sweeping vehicles - and also published two textbooks on mathematical subjects. It was only when his elder brother, Johann, became ill from over-work, that he reluctantly took over - temporarily, he thought - the leadership of the Strauss orchestra. Johann once said of him: "Pepi [Josef] is the more gifted of us two; I am merely the more popular..." Josef regularly appeared as a conductor with his brother Johann's orchestra (1856-62). Their younger brother Eduard joined them in 1862. When Johann left the orchestra in 1863, Josef and Eduard continued to conduct the family orchestra. Josef wrote 283 opus numbers many of which reveal a composer of remarkable talent. He is best remembered today as composer of the waltzes Village Swallows from Austria (1864), The Mysterious Powers of Magnetism (1865) and Music of the Spheres (1868) as well as co-writing the Pizzicato-Polka (1869) with his brother Johann.
Eduard Strauss was born in Vienna on March 15, 1835 and died there on December 28, 1916. He studied music theory and composition with Gottfried Preyer and Simon Sechter, violin with Amen, and harp with Parish-Alvars and Zamara. After playing harp in his brother Johann's orchestra, he made his debut as a conductor and composer with it at the Wintergarten of the Dianabad-Saal on April 6, 1862. Eduard and his other brother Josef shared the conductorship of the orchestra until the latter's death in 1870. From 1870 to 1878, Eduard was k.k. Hofballmusikdirektor; subsequently made annual tours of Europe as a guest conductor, and with his own orchestra. In 1890 and 1900-1901 he toured throughout the United States. He wrote some 300 works, but they failed to rival the superior works of his brothers. Eduard was a pompous, dictatorial person, who loved wearing his medals. He is best remembered as the person who, to fulfill a promise he had made to his brothers, burned the entire Strauss orchestra library, and the original manuscripts of the entire Strauss Family in 1906. All the dance arrangements of the Strauss Orchestra were destroyed in the boiler room of his friend's chair factory. It took seven hours amid frantic protestations from the many onlookers. His memoirs were published in 1906.
Charles Gounod (1818-1893), the son of a painter father and a musician mother was destined from early in life to be a composer. He studied in Paris and Rome and fell under the influence of early Italian church composers such as Palestrina. His enthusiasm for religious music led him to the seminary. He never graduated, but was known as "Abbe Gounod" throughout his life. He eventually tried his hand at stage music composing several operas, of which Faust is the most famous. Petite Symphonie for 9 Wind Instruments (1885) was a commission from Gounod's friend Paul Taffanel (1844-1908), the highly influential teacher of the flute at the Paris Conservatory. Taffanel had organized an ensemble specifically to perform chamber works for wind instruments, and in 1885 he asked Gounod to contribute a piece. Gounod chose an instrumentation that closely matched the scoring of some of Mozart's wind serenades - two each of oboes, clarinets, horns, and bassoons - and then added a single flute, in deference to Taffanel. The Petite Symphonie is a miniature evocation of a complete classical symphony. The opening movement begins with a slow introduction before a formal Sonata Allegro movement begins. The slow movement features an extensive flute part. The Scherzo contains a full trio and restatement. The finale is filled with exuberance, varied rhythmic figures and musical ideas that are passed from one instrument to the next throughout the movement.
Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) was one of the greatest masters of Russian music. His source of inspiration was Glinka's operatic style. He made use of both the purely Russian idiom and coloristic oriental melodic patterns. Flight of the Bumble Bee is a showpiece, showing Rimsky-Korsakov's ear for the unusually shaped melody. The fast runs in semitones clearly bring to mind a bee busily bumbling about. The music is a bit more vindictive than it might seem. It comes from Act 3 of the opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan (1903), when the hero Prince Gvidon, transformed by magic into a bee by a Swan-Princess, stings his wicked aunts and the old witch who helped them plot against him and his mother.

Enter what some have written as the "last" Marian dogma: Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix of All Graces, and Advocate. The reality of Our Lady's role in the plan of salvation as Co-Redemptrix with Our Divine Savior, as the Mediatrix of All Graces, and as Advocate for the human race is not new. One need only read the writings of many Popes, notably Leo XIII's encyclicals, to see this truth expounded.
One of the leading Marian scholars of our day, Monsignor Arthur Calkins, will speak to this subject on Saturday, April 9, at St. Francis de Sales Oratory, at 11 am.
Monsignor Calkins served for many years at the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, and has recently accepted the chaplaincy of the Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus in St. Louis. He has written and spoken extensively on Mary, and particularly on the issue of Marian Co-Redemption.
It should be a very informative and interesting presentation. All are welcome to attend. Map and directions here.


text: In India, the health system mostly depends on cultural methods and on imported western models. To make matter worse; health services in India, especially allopathic is quite expensive and hits the common man hard. After independence, there has been significant improvement in the health status of the people but the situation is not much better as per the study by WHO. It has placed India in 112th position among 191 countries of the world. Such problems need to be solved at the root level. Today, children are exposed to many more diseases and stress than any other time. We stand at a position where, 2 out of every 5 children in India suffer from peer pressure and have suicidal tendencies. A study says that 40% of Indians have an unhealthy BMI. The frequency of getting ill today is much higher than it was earlier; even a flu can be looked upon as a sign of dengue or Zika infection. If I ask you when did you last visit a doctor just for a regular check-up, it would be difficult to answer. Akbar Khan is currently pursuing Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from SRM University. He rightly says that in India, a child is taken to a doctor only when he/she falls seriously ill and there is no escape but to go through a number of tests. Akbar says that his frequent sneezing during the childhood days went unnoticed by his parents because he would stay in a hostel. This led to a serious sinus trouble which needed immediate medication; however, this situation could be avoided if his parents could track his health even when sitting miles away from him. His keen interest in entrepreneurship has enabled him to start Mecura through which parents can track the medical records of their children with just the click of a button i.e. the digital version of paper based prescriptions, called Electron Medical Record (EMR). Mecura has already been featured among top five startups selected in IIT Bombay and it was also among 40 start-ups to get selected in Bioasia Convention 2016. Further, it has ranked 32nd globally in the Impact Chapter that was organized by a German company 'Get In the Ring'. Akbar aims to turn his startup into a company and promote better healthcare for children in India. Mecura has already conducted pilot services in Kolkata and Jaipur where it received a positive response and a success rate of 95%. It has currently joined hands with 7 schools in Kolkata including Loyola High School and St. Thomas'School, Khidirpur. Their innovative website & mobile app will help children & parents keep a constant tab on their health status. They aim to bridge the gap between school-going children & the necessary health care they should get. The younger generation is an invaluable asset to our country and its time we do something to keep them healthy. A bunch of young minds make up the A-team of Mecura, mentored by Nishant Bhardwaj and Aquib Hasnain as the Head of Operation and Ankush Malhotra The CTO . Mecura has three doctor as advisors : Dr Mainul Hossain-Senior General Physician Honorary Secretary, IMA Kidderpore Branch, Kolkata; Dr.Jamal Khan-MBBS,DCF and fellow in pediatric cardiology Consultant pediatrician and Neonatologist; Dr Sandip Kumar Ray -Senior Faculty ,Medicine Community. Together, they aim to provide various services to school children, the major ones being - a general check-up that includes eye test, dental checkup, and ENT test; a screen test that includes blood test for anemia, obesity, inflammations and other infections; parental and social counseling and interactive health workshops. The results of these tests are accessible to the principal of the school, parent and doctor through the EMR. The interesting part is that, this EMR can be used at any time during an emergency and no previous medical record of the child will be needed any longer. You can also read articles and blogs and stay connected with the latest updates of Mecura through "Samagya" newspaper. Mecura has planned to reach and screen more than 1 million students in the next three years. Visit : www.mecurachild.com

During the late nineteenth century, primarily between the 1840s and 1860s, a significant repatriation movement to Africa took place among ex-slaves from the Latin American countries of Cuba and Brazil. Since most of these repatriates were of Yoruba descent, they chose to resettle in Yoruba-populated areas along the West African coast. Some of these Cuban and Brazilian repatriates resettled in Ouidah and Porto Novo in the present-day country of Republic of Benin. However, many of the returnees established themselves in West Africa's largest port city of Lagos in what is now known as Nigeria.
It was also during the nineteenth century that British colonialists began to aggressively launch their quest for total domination and annexation of Yorubaland and the hinterland areas of "Nigeria". In order to facilitate this agenda, the British used the Cuban and Brazilian repatriates as mediators between themselves and the local Yoruba population. Consequently, in order to secure the repatriates' cooperation, the British elevated the Cuban and Brazilian returnees to an elite status in colonial Lagos.
This thesis examines the economic and social status of repatriated Africans from Cuba and Brazil in Lagos, and the social and economic conditions that served as an impetus for their drastic transition from slavery. More specifically, this study focuses on the relationship between the repatriates and British colonialists during the nineteenth century, and the elite position that the returnees assumed in the Lagos community as a result of this association.

co-production with German participation, Le Meraviglie by Alice Rohrwacher (IT/CH/DE, Pola
Pandora), was awarded the Grand Prix. White God by Kornél Mundruczó (HU/DE/SE, Pola
Pandora) received the main award in the Un Certain Regard sidebar. Pola Pandora, the German production company serving as a partner on both films,
was co-founded by the recently departed Karl Baumgartner, a pioneer of European arthouse cinema. Wim Wenders and his co-director Juliano Ribeiro Salgado
received the Special Prize in the Un Certain Regard sidebar for the French production The Salt of the Earth. Juan Sarmiento G. was responsible for the camerawork on Leidi, the Golden Palm for Short Films. He is now living and working in Berlin
after having studied at the HFF Potsdam-Babelsberg.
The cinema was filled to capacity at the world premiere of the Next Generation Short Tiger 2014 program

works to an audience of international professionals. The director and Oscar-winner® Caroline Link, who was a member of the jury, was also
present at the premiere in Cannes. Next Generation Short Tiger 2014 is organized by German Films and the German Federal Film Board (FFA). After the screening,
the audience – which included representatives of international festivals, journalists, producers and buyers, rewarded the achievements of the German short
film talents with long and enthusiastic applause.
Mariette Rissenbeek, managing director of German Films: "We are delighted that this year again saw such a
large interest from people wanting to get to know the up-and-coming generation of German filmmakers at the Next Generation Short Tiger premiere. Everything
was represented – from the Western through drama, animation, thriller, documentary and also comedy – and all of this was of a very high quality." The first
festival invitations had already started coming in after the screening in Cannes. The Next Generation Short Tiger 2014 program will be shown in the
upcoming months as part of the Festivals of German Films which are organized by German Films in Madrid, New York, Buenos Aires, Paris and Moscow.
This year, the market screenings organized by German Films under the banner of "
New German Films in Cannes
" at Cannes' Marché du Film presented 35 new German films. The screenings were well received by the professional visitors. A popular and highly regarded
meeting place – along with the German Pavilion in the International Village – proved once again to be the German Reception in honor of German cinema and
the films with German participation at the festival.
Over 850 guests took the opportunity to come together in a convivial atmosphere on La Plage – Majestic
Barrière on Saturday, 17 May 2014. The State Minister for Culture, Prof. Monika Grütters, made the opening speech on the occasion of her first visit to

I don't get it! There have been reports this week that 'illegal' refugees who tried to cross into Italy from Libya's coast were left to die when their little boat ran out of gas, food and importantly water three days into their journey. Only about 5 out of a total of 80 made it. The others died eventually because they drank sea water, starved etc. The survivors were picked up eventually by the Italian coast guard. They told journalists that several ships passed them by and ignored their pleading. One even dropped a bit of water to them and disappeared thereafter.
How can people call themselves civilized who choose to do nothing at all to prevent almost certain death of other human beings when their direct and immediate action could have prevented such a harm from occurring? Surely the cost of taking the refugees on-board would not have fallen into the category of overwhelming burden or serious risk to one's own life. They could have even radioed the Italian or Libyan coast guard to pick those dying folks off the seas, yet these seafarers chose to do nothing at all.
Boggles the mind!
ps: I'm not even going to comment on the US health care debacle. How daft can people be and still be taken seriously ...

Kann mir vielleicht jemand diesen Text hier übersetzten? Meine englisch Kenntnisse sind leider nicht besonders gut um es selber zu machen
1) Go to tools.htm: Seekers' tools, tools for searchers, internet searching tools and scroll down until you see "wget1531.zip". Download that thing somewhere, unpack it and then simply copy the executable called "wget.exe" in c:windows or c:windowssystem32 (this is for having the executable in a location which is automatically searched for when issued from the command line, because it's included in the PATH environment variable).
2) Then open up a "cmd". Go to Start -> Run... and type there "cmd" and press enter. A "Command Prompt" will appear. (Or alternatively you can search for "Command Prompt" in Start -> All Programs -> Accessories, it should be there by default.)
3) There are a few basic MS-DOS commands you should know of. You would probably like to change the location, to get the things you want in a specific dir.
cd <dir_name_here> - changes the current directory to the one specified by dir_name_here.
Example: cd c:Documents and SettingsjoeMy Documentsmusic
IMPORTANT!!! Don't ever forget to use your TAB key. It's used for auto-completion. For instance you're writing
"cd c:docu"[..ments blah blah] - when you typed in "c:docu" you can already press the tab key and the rest ("ments and Settings") will auto-complete.
dir - displays the contents of the directory you're currently in.
mkdir <dir_name> OR md <dir_name> creates a directory named dir_name (and then you can cd to it).
4) When you first start cmd, you should be located in c:documents and settingsyourusernamehere
Example: cd c:downloads
Or you could have your new downloads on another "drive", i.e. partition. For this you'd do:
x: <enter>
cd musicunsorted
and then you'd finally be located in x:musicunsorted
Now we're ready to go.
5) Be sure to have in "memory" the link location you want to get. In this specific case that , you'll be located in Nachtmystium - Instinct Decay. There you'll see the songs listed individually. Right click on one of them and if you use a NORMAL browser (i.e. not IE), you'll see something like "Copy Link Location". Do it.
Now get back in your ugly looking command prompt... type there:
wget [press space]
and then right-click in that black window and select paste.
Right now your line should look something like

Moses is born on December 18, 1888 to Bella and Emanuel Moses. His grandparents, Bernhard Cohen and Rosalie Silverman, immigrated to America from Bavaria, Germany. Bernhard and his younger brother, Samuel, come to America with enough savings to open a dry-goods store and in 1948 they relocate from Mobile, Alabama to New York. By the time Bernhard meets Rosalie, he is already established and financially secure, having made millions of dollars in real estate with his brother. They become a part of the "One Hundred" and "Our Crowd," a self-contained Jewish social circle. When Bernhard reaches his fifties he becomes interested in civic affairs and is particularly worried about the slums of the city and he wants to see the development and construction of more parks in those areas. He is appointed to the City School Commission in...

The Father and The BearCreative Movies Come from the Heart, Not the Budget
They're interesting, entertaining and give us a chance to see some bleeding-edge stuff that leaves us in awe.
But what really leaves a lasting impression is when a project is done that sticks with you weeks, even months, after you've seen it.
You just know they were done by someone who just had to tell the story and had the talent and grasp of the craft to do it right--especially when you know the individual did it on a micro-budget!
The Father and The Bear isn't John Putch's (Putchfilms) first venture in the micro-budget scene. He's done five that have racked up an impressive number of film festival awards around the globe. His Route 30 Trilogy of films has garnered 47 festival awards while the cult Mojave Phone Booth nabbed 15 awards over its 51 official FF selections
And it's not because he doesn't have something more profitable to do, because the son of the late actress Jean Stapleton and theater producer/director William Putch has an enviable list of TV mini-series, big-screen movies he's working on.
Even now, he's directing the American Housewife TV series and Zack Braff's new show, Alex Inc.
Ever since his first micro-budget film, Mojave Phone Booth, Putch follows a strict set of Indie filmmaking rules:
- The budget can't exceed $100,000
- The crew is limited to eight
- Actors are responsible for their own wardrobe, appearance
- All the equipment must fit in one car and one SUV
- The film must be shot in less than 18 days
His latest film, The Father and The Bear, resonates with anyone in the creative storytelling industry - and the audience.
The Father and The Bear was shot in central Pennsylvania where he grew up; and when you watch it, you know it was a love affair, not just a movie.
One Last Show - Despite age creeping up on him and his struggle with dementia, Byron Temple (Wil Love) is determined to feel the exhilaration of doing one last performance before a live audience on the Totem Pole Playhouse stage.
First, it centers on Byron Temple a retired character actor diagnosed with dementia who wants to do summer theater one last time. That made it even more personal for Putch since his mother suffered from the same disease.
Wil Love is great as Temple.
He's everyone's father who draws you into his struggle and makes you understand the disease, its effects, and the frustration/helpless feelings of those around him.
The drama features an historic theater in South Central, PA, the Totem Pole Playhouse, which Putch's father operated when he was growing up.
Summer Stock - Byron Temple and his daughter Diane Carbaugh (Dendrie Taylor) sit in front of the Totem Pole Playhouse and discuss his age, disease and desire to tread the boards one last time.
"Big budget projects rely on big names, elaborate special effects and an obscene marketing budget," Putch explained. "We relied on the tools every Indie filmmaker can use and the creative talents of all of the artists involved - producers, directors, writers, actors and sound people- as well as the location to focus on the story."
Except for David DeLuise and Robert Picardo, you won't recognize most of the actors, who are a combination of working-class actors from LA and regional theater performers from Baltimore and Washington.
There's a number of locals playing roles in the film as well. They're people who live in the bucolic area that makes you wish you had grown up there too.
Extremely well written, Putch draws you into what it's like to grow old and face dementia.
For the film, which almost feels like a personalized documentary, he stitched in archival footage of hundreds of shows his father, Bill Putch, directed at the nearly 70-year-old theater.
Great Background - For his latest project, The Father and The Bear, indie filmmaker John Putch and his small crew made optimum use of the natural beauty of central Pennsylvania where he grew up.
True to his Indie filmmaking "rules," The Father and The Bear was shot in 18 days.
Working as his own editor, he locked the picture down in four weeks. Composing took 10 weeks, sound mix was a three-day affair and there was one day of color work at Burbank's CCI Digital.
For the production phase, Putch used a OWC 4TB ThunderBay mini and 4TB OWC-certified Thunderbolt hard drives and what he calls a HD toaster dock.
The dock enables him to add and remove drives for maintaining multiple drive backups, cloning a hard drive or providing extra storage.
Post Work - Back in his Studio City, Ca home post production facility, John Putch puts the finishing touches on' The Father and The Bear' before placing it with Vimeo On Demand and beginning the promotion of the film.
He uses new OWC hard drives for every film project because he feels reusing/overwriting a drive is a false savings and isn't a risk that even the Indie film maverick wants to take.
When one drive is full, it's cloned with one set of drives staying with his cinematographer and another set he uses for editing.
He keeps the drive sets separate, just in case something happens.
Putch has been following the same archiving process since he produced "Mojave Phone Booth."
"I have an offsite backup of every project I've done," he said. "And every 4 or5 years, I copy the projects to a fresh OWC drive. It's just cheap insurance every filmmaker should have - studio or Indie."
And yes, he proved a great story can be done by film people with a passion and well within his budget!
It's a Wrap - To celebrate the production, the crew gathers for a group shot. Members are (L-R): DP Keith Duggan, Cam assit Tommy Duncan, Cam Assit Dan Poole, Art director Rose Knoll, Wil Love (center) John Putch, PA Steve Hertzler, Cast/assoc pro Alicia Fusting, grip/elec Mike Vartholomatos, Sound mixer Patrick Giraudi.
As with any Indie film, the challenge is obviously to get it in front of the eyes of viewers.
With all of his experience and professional contacts, Putch knows all of the options that are available and pulls no punches as to what works, what comes up short.
In addition to selling DVDs and BluRays at https://thefatherandthebear.com; John books a local Indie theater, gets the actors to show up and does a Q&A about the film and filmmaking.
This is usually done in theaters close to the area where the movies are shot.
"No sales agent, no distributor," he said with a smile, "It's tangible revenue for the people who did the work."
For added distribution, Putch feels Vimeo On Demand is the real sleeper in streaming services.
"They provide a fair split for the film producer/owner, they do an accurate job of tracking views and they do a good job of protecting your content from pirates," he noted. "Protection may not be 100 percent but then even HBO and Netflix can have their stuff stolen. Vimeo just seems to care about the filmmaker."
He noted he has tried other options, including spending a ton of money with an aggregator to place The Father and the Bear on Amazon and iTunes, but he didn't see any better traffic than with Vimeo.
How committed is he to Vimeo?
"My entire 'Route 30 Trilogy' is available exclusively on Vimeo on Demand," Putch commented, "as well as my other titles: 'Mojave Phone Booth' and 'Valerie Flake.'"
While he ranks Vimeo On Demand as number one for filmmakers, followed by Amazon and iTunes a distant third; he emphasized that no matter where the film is placed, filmmakers have to market their work.
"Great work doesn't demand attention," he concluded. "You've got to promote your films so people see and appreciate them."

50. Good morning, Governor, to you and your
colleagues. It is my pleasure to welcome you to your first session
of the new Parliament. For the sake of the shorthand writer, would
you identify yourself and your colleagues.
(Sir Edward George) Thank you, Chairman;
it is a great pleasure to be here. On my far right is Sushil Wadhwani,
next to him is Ian Plenderleith, then Mervyn King who is the Deputy
Governor with responsibility for monetary analysis; Kate Barker
is on my left and Chris Allsopp is on my far left.
51. There are a number of areas which we will
take up this morning, not least the recent policy decision for
the inflation and growth forecast as well as the public financial
projections and the outlook for international policy exchange
rate. May I start by a general question. Since your last appearance
before the Committee, much has happened within the world not least
11 September but, as you know, things were happening before 11
September as well. Could you explain how the MPC has reacted to
these events and what you think as to how the UK economy is shaping
(Sir Edward George) The things that have happened
have been very largely international and, before 11 September,
I think it was very clear that the global economy was experiencing
a substantial slowdown: it had been particularly marked in the
United States but, in the summer, it was becoming apparent the
Euro zone and Japan also was going through a protracted period
of weakness. At the same time, we had this persistent weakness
of the euro, strength of sterling against the euro, whichever
way you like, so that we were subjected to those international
effects. I think that our view as of 11 September was that we
were around the low point in terms of the global economy, that
we would not see much growth in the second half of this year but
that, going into next year, we would see very gradual pickup,
certainly in the United States but also in the Euro zone. The
11 September really could not have come at a worse time because
of that kind of context and the impact of 11 September has been
to deepen the slowdown and prolong the slowdown so that now we
are looking towards negative growth in the second half of this
year, perhaps extending into the early part of next year, with
a pickup delayed probably until the middle of next year, though
possibly the pickup may be a little stronger than we had anticipated
earlier. So, that makes life extremely uncomfortable for us. One
might have expected that, with the kind of pattern of growth in
the world economy, you would have seen the euro recover somewhat,
that is something that we have been looking for for some time,
but that has not happened either, so we are exposed to these very
cold winds blowing from abroad. Our reaction has been very much
to try to offset those cold international winds by sustaining
demand in the United Kingdom. In this environment, that means
consumer demand because business demand is obviously influenced
by the international environment to a much greater extent. Up
until the third quarter, we have been reasonably successful in
seeing strong growth in consumer spending and that has actually
protected the UK economy as a whole from the external influences.
The point is that neither we nor government can directly address
the causes of these dampening influences and so we have to try
and offset them and that is essentially what we have done operating,
since 11 September, very much in the context of the damage to
confidence which that produced: business confidence but, as I
say, that is influenced by the world environment, but also consumer
confidence which had been particularly important in sustaining
the UK economy over the past several quarters.
52. We took evidence last week from a number
of economists and it was generally felt by all of them that the
Bank's consideration of the future is a little optimistic and
that they felt it was on the downside. One in particular, Roger
Bootle, mentioned that whilst the MPC felt that risks to growth
were balanced and the risk to inflation was on the upside, he
was very firmly of the view that risk to both was on the downside.
Would you comment on that.
(Sir Edward George) Chairman, it is very well known
that every economist has two points of view on everything, so
it is not surprising that you will get different opinions from
different economists. Indeed, here we disagree about details.
I think it is important to know precisely when people are making
their forecasts and what are the factors that are influencing
them. It is perfectly possible that what Roger Bootle says is
right, but we can only take our own best view which is what we
do and that is reflected in the Inflation Report.
53. Talking about economists with different
points of view, can I turn to Dr Wadhwani. In your recent speech
in Edinburgh, you criticised the Bank's model. Why do you think
it is wrong and why do you think that the Bank have not adjusted
their model in the way you suggest?
(Dr Wadhwani) Chairman, I think my speech was not
quite phrased in the way that was couched in your questions, although
it is true that some of the newspaper coverage was couched in
that fashion. What I was trying to do in that speech was essentially
justify my view that the risks to inflation were on the downside
and why my personal projection for inflation was lower than the
best collective projection. It is natural, as the Governor, has
said for economists to disagree about issues that are necessarily
uncertain, but the main point that I was making was that, in my
personal opinion, some of the forecasting errors that we have
seen in the past should essentially be addressed in a particular
way and I was pointing to that evidence of forecasting errors
as evidence that, in the past, we have potentially over stated
inflationary pressures and that we might still be doing so, and
my favourite explanations for that were that it is possible that
we have paid insufficient attention to the impact of globalisation
and the global dis-inflation on domestic inflation and also that
capacity utilisation might be lower than we had thought until
recently. These are all very uncertain issues. I think it is perfectly
reasonable for people to disagree on these issues and I was just
raising these issues, I was not in any sense criticising anybody.
I should also say that these are issues for ongoing debate and
for ongoing research, and I was essentially just saying that this
was something we were looking at rather than criticising anybody.
54. You are generally known as what could be
described as a dove on the Committee and, if we look at the trend
of your recommendations, there is a view that the MPC have caught
up with you three months later in terms of what they are going
to do. If they had caught up with you at that time and there was
not the three month lag, where would we be now with the economy?
(Dr Wadhwani) What I should say, Chairman, is that
I have never liked the term "dove" because it sort of
implies that I am somehow genetically predisposed to voting that
way while I like to think that when I decide to vote in a particular
direction, I am making judgments on these uncertain issues. If
you look at my track record, ever since I joined the Committee,
I have voted with the majority on all occasions but one until
December 2000. It is really only since December 2000 that I have
tended to vote for more significant interest rate cuts. That change
in stance or that change in behaviour was driven very much by
a judgment, a judgment made in a very uncertain climate, that
it was likely that the international slowdown would be quite acute,
and that judgment was made on the basis that, when bubbles burst,
historically the slowdowns that occur after the bursting of the
bubble tend to be quite long lived, in part because you get an
investment overhang which takes a while to work off. These are
all very difficult judgments to make and it is perfectly reasonable
for people to disagree on the basic judgments let alone timing.
Therefore, I would not make too much of the time lags that you
may have observed. Obviously, with the benefit of hindsight, if
we had essentially cut rates at the pace I desired, it is possible
that we may have needed to do less now. That is always the standard
argument for preemption, but that it very much a statement made
with the benefit of hindsight.
55. Before passing on to my colleagues, do any
of the witnesses share Dr Wadhwani's concerns?
(Sir Edward George) I am not sure that I see that
question in that way. With regard to "concerns", I think
we all have the same concerns, we are all trying to do the same
thing. I think that, as Dr Wadhwani said, it is really judgments
and, on the whole, these are pretty marginal judgments compared
with most times in the past. I think that the range of opinion
is very narrow. You referred to other forecasters/other economists
in your opening question, and I was just checking with the account
of other forecasts in the Inflation Report and, if you look at
thoseand that is an assessment of quite a significant number
of forecasters, 23 I thinkthe differences are actually
pretty narrow between them and actually between the average and
our own view really very small indeed. Of course, we are always
all the time trying to get things better, trying to make better
informed judgments and, in that sense, I think we all share Dr
Wadhwani's concerns, but the precise judgments is where we have
differences and I think it is a very good thing that we do because
that is the point of having a committee of nine individuals who
can bring to bear these differences of view in order to produce
something which is not out on a limb.
56. Kate Barker, did you wish to come in on
(Ms Barker) In one sense, I think that what I want
to say has already been said by the Governor, which is that obviously
we all share one of the concerns that Dr Wadhwani raised regarding
whether there is something that is not quite right in the model.
We all want to get it right while, in the background, in some
sense we recognise that we are never going to achieve that fully
and the idea that there is some perfect model of the economy that
we are going to find is clearly a myth. I certainly share that
concern. More specifically, at the moment and through this year,
I have also shared Dr Wadhwani's concern about the global economy
and the potential for the weakness of the global economy to have
perhaps a slightly greater effect on the UK and, in that sense,
I shared his concern and shared that risk that was identified
in the inflation report.
57. Governor, I want to look at the recent decision
to cut interest rates in November and the aftermath of that. Obviously
the rate cut was welcome and perceived to be a response to the
global slowdown in growth and the implications of that for inflation,
but I think people were a little surprised by the tone of some
of the inflation report when it came out and some of the comments
that Mr King made which were quoted in the newspaper and at the
press conference afterwards. You probably have a copy of the November
inflation report and can I just take you to the overview at the
beginning of it and page iv because, right at the end of that
overview, there are two sentences that stand rather strangely
together. In the middle of the last paragraph, it is noted, "Without
further action, there was a risk that inflation would significantly
undershoot the target over the next two years and that activity
would be lower than necessary" and presumably that is the
reason why you cut rates as a group. However, if you look at the
end of the paragraph above that, there is a rather different tone
because it says, "In the Committee's judgment, the overall
risks to growth are roughly balanced, although the overall risks
to inflation are on the upside", which seems odd. Do those
two sentences stand happily together? Can you reconcile them for
(Sir Edward George) If you take the second sentence
and its comment on growth and you compare that with the risk that
activity would be lower than necessary, that is without further
action. I do not have any difficulty in reconciling with the central
expectation. I think the view of the Committee was that, given
the action that we had taken, the risks to activity were neither
upside nor downside.
58. Is that not slightly odd? Are you saying
that the Committee decided to cut interest rates because you were
concerned that inflation might undershoot but that, now you have
cut interest rates, your concern is that inflation is on the upside?
(Sir Edward George) No. As you know, there is always
a distinction between the kind of central projection which is
the centre of gravity on the Committee and the risks around that
projection. The distinction technically is the mode and the mean
of the projection and that is a factor which is always there.
What we did was to take the action that we did. Not mechanically
in response to the forecast but informed by the forecast and informed
by our individual views of where we were around the forecast and
reached the conclusion that what we needed to do in order to produce
an inflation projection over the two year period as a whole was
to reduce interest rates. That actually is designed also to protect
us from an unnecessary weakening in activity because what we were
really trying to do was to keep demand in line with the underlying
supply, so I do not find that there is any inconsistency.
59. Is it your view now that the risks to inflation
are on the upside?
(Sir Edward George) The reason why we built in the
risk to inflation in that way is very much on a view about the
exchange rate. We have been consistently puzzled by the sustained
weakness of the euro and the strength of sterling against it.
We think that is not a situation which is likely to persist in
the long term, but we have no means of actually judging when that
is likely to happen, when a recovery in the euro is likely to
occur, so we cannot build it into a kind of central projection
but we can have that risk reflected and, if that were to happen
and if it were to be sudden and significant, then you would get
an inflationary impulse coming from that factor and I think that
is the reason why, among all the risks, that pushes the inflation
risk onto the upside.
(Mr King) Can I just direct you to Table 6.A on page
56 which I think answers your question exactly. As the Governor
said, before the policy change was made, the outlook for inflation
was that, even under the central projection, it would clearly
undershoot the target looking two years or so ahead. Having made
the 50 basis point cut in interest rates, the central projection
was itself still slightly below the target but with the risk on
the upside to that, leaving the overall balance of risks remarkably
even. If you look at Table 6.A, the top panel of that table headed
"RPIX Inflation" in the final row, the outlook for inflation
in the fourth quarter at 2003, looking ahead two years, if you
look at the probability of inflation falling into different ranges,
between 2 and 2.5 per cent, 24 per cent, and 2.5 and 3 per cent,
22 per cent, so very even around the target of 2.5. If you go
out a little further to the 1 and 1.5 per cent on the downside
and 3 to 3.5 on the upside, 16 per cent in both. So, having made
the rate cut, the balance of risks to inflation is actually pretty
