Tammer Saleh talks about the mistakes people make when building a microservices architecture. He also talks about: when microservices are appropriate, and where to draw the lines between services, dealing with performance issues, testing and debugging techniques, managing a polyglot landscape and the explosion of platforms, managing failure and graceful degradation.
Tammer Saleh is a long time developer, leader, and author of the acclaimed book *Rails AntiPatterns*. Saleh is currently building the Cloud Foundry platform at Pivotal.

I was in Thailand from 4 weeks, burned from the sea, from the girls, amazed by the people… my mind had just begun to awaken.
A few days after my arrival in Mae Sot I visited Umpium Camp I met Karen refugees from Burma and some months later, after traveling all over Thailand, I returned.
Umpium Camp is a refugees camp for Karen people, fleeing the military regime in Burma, there are 30,000 people, and for Thai government they just not exist. For the NGOs officially is the same.
The camp is located on the border between the two states, in no man's land.
They can't go back in Burma without risking their lives. In Thailand are not allowed to enter.
The day starts with the sunrise and ends with the dawn, here there is neither electricity nor drinking water, the water must be taken from the river and boiled.
Dinner is at 5 pm, just before nightfall, and then we talk. Everyone has a story to tell and its tragedy.
After visiting the camp, returned to Mae Sot, for the first time I felt I was doing what was right, in the right place at the right time in equilibrium.
Probably in Mae Sot, without even realizing it, I made ??decisions within me that have totally changed my life.
I spent in town a month teaching how to use the PC to some Burmese students who were hiding there.
I met a lot of people and stories, something happened there. Something happened in me.

On a recent trip to Greece, I visited my aunt in her Athens apartment. I'd arrived from Berlin, and she, like many Greeks these days, wanted to talk about Germany in not the nicest terms.
"The Germans are so strict!" she said, feeling, as do most of her compatriots, under the thumb of German-backed austerity measures. After all, she added, Greeks had for long been such loyal buyers of German products.
In order to illustrate this point, she pinched the collar on her button-up blouse. The shirt, she said, was made in Germany. She then pointed to the pot in which she was warming up the lunch she had prepared for us. It was also made in Germany. So was the oven, for that matter, and the refrigerator too. And as she pointed out later, even the porcelain cup with which she was drinking her coffee. "But what," my aunt asked, "do the Greeks sell back?"
She was alluding to a very important and often overlooked point. Since the advent of the euro currency, Germany has maintained a trade surplus, with about 40 per cent of its exports going to other eurozone nations. But German policies meant to bolster these exports are now increasingly coming under the scrutiny of some economists, who blame German practices for some of the structural problems at the core of the eurozone's problems.
The issue is not so much that Germany sells a lot of stuff to other nations in the euro zone, as much as it doesn't buy back as much as it should.
"The problem is not Germany's high exports, it's the export surplus," says Till van Treeck, an economist with the Germany-based Macroeconomic Policy Institute. "Imports have been particularly low because domestic demand has been so weak." In real terms, he points out, private consumption in Germany over the past decade has barely increased.
Germany's aversion to debt and overspending has, of course, spared the nation from the sovereign debt rating reductions and credit bubbles that have troubled its neighbours. In addition, the German tendency to save for a rainy day — a consequence, it's often thought, of collective angst and the ingrained trauma of repeated war and economic collapse — also helps keep consumption proportionately lower than in other nations. These traits are, of course, nothing to criticise.
But add stagnating wages as part of Germany's export-oriented growth policy to the equation, and you get an economy increasingly dependent on selling goods abroad, rather than consuming at home. Since Germany is the largest economy in Europe, accounting for a quarter of the GDP of the entire eurozone, this has a huge impact on its struggling neighbours, who'd like to sell more of their wares in Germany.
If you compare wage growth across the different eurozone nations, the result is startling. From 2000 until 2010, Germany's average annual growth rate of hourly private sector labour costs was 1.7 per cent, the lowest in all of Europe and nearly half the European Union average.This represents, according to a recent Macroeconomic Policy Institute report, a "blatant downward deviation" from the eurozone average.
This phenomenon is largely the result of German government deregulation of its labour market shortly after the euro was introduced, making it possible, for instance, for German companies to hire temporary workers and pay them less than their full-time colleagues.
Germany's lower labour costs are meant to lower unemployment and add fuel to the nation's growth engine: manufacturing and exports. If the cost of producing goods is cheaper, they can be sold abroad cheaper as well, undercutting competitor's prices.
Germany, with its design and manufacturing prowess, has long been a proud exporter of automobiles and machinery. But this didn't always necessarily come at the expense of its neighbours. The introduction of the euro complicated matters. Beforehand, due to flexible exchange rates, a comparatively lower German wage growth, says Sabine Stephan, an economist at the Macroeconomic Policy Institute, would have led to a higher medium-run Deutsch Mark valuation, naturally offsetting any price-competitive export advantage. Meanwhile, less competitive nations with weaker currencies, like Greece, would still have been able to sell their goods on the German market relatively cheaply.
The euro changed all that.
This post originally appeared at The Atlantic.
I can see signs of this when I go food shopping in Berlin. As my aunt asked, what do Greeks sell back? Perhaps feta cheese? But even when I've seen Greek feta for sale in a German supermarket, it's virtually always next to a German-made competitor that is nearly half the price. The Greek version might taste better, but because Germans have less expendable income, not all that many are likely to buy it. Even some headache-inducing, poor-quality Greek wines are much more expensive in Germany than better domestic wines.
Now, to get the cost of such items down, Greece's only real option is to try to depress costs and wages at home. German-backed austerity measures, in fact, are meant to make Greece do so, in essence, making the nation more like Germany.
As the Greek government wrestles with the deeply unpopular austerity measures mandated by its European creditors and the International Monetary Fund, one of the thorniest issues, appropriately enough, is proposed private sector wage reductions. Greek political parties on both left and right are reluctant to bow to pressure to slash the minimum wage, arguing the move would sink the ailing Greek economy even further into recession.
While labour costs in Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain were higher than the eurozone average before the debt crisis, those costs have since come down significantly, says the Macroeconomic Policy Institute report. Current proposals to further bring down labour costs are meant to increase price competitiveness in order to boost exports. But whereas the improvement in export performance for a nation like Greece would be marginal, if any, says Stephan, the drop in domestic demand has a far greater recessionary effect. Also, as the economist van Treeck argues, "It's logically impossible for them to have the same growth model as Germany," since "not everyone can have a surplus."
So what's the solution? Stephan argues that its far more important for Germany to push its labour costs up than it is for crisis-laden nations to adjust them further downwards. In this event, nations like Greece would not need to suppress wages as much to become price competitive, while Germans would be able to buy not only more of their own products, but more of their neighbours' as well. Raising German wages, she said, "is the only sustainable path" towards remedying some of the structural problems at the root of the debt crisis. Otherwise, she added, "the situation is hopeless."
Ironically, Germany's competitive wage and export practices may not only be harmful to its neighbours, but ultimately to itself.
"The German conversation is obsessed with export and national competitiveness," says van Treeck. German media, he adds, speak of the importance of Germany as an "export world champion." Yet, he says, higher domestic consumption would better contribute to German GDP growth, which idled near the bottom of eurozone nations through 2007, despite the country's rising trade surpluses.
It might seem counterintuitive to question the benefit of German wage policies, at least for Germany, at a time when national unemployment is at a record low of 5.5 per cent (especially as it hits 23 per cent in Spain and near 19 per cent Greece). But the matter of low-wage jobs and rising income inequality stirs passions in Germany. A recent Süddeutsche Zeitung headline about German employment numbers, "Miracle with a Shady Side," captured how many Germans feel about their country's successes. From 2005 to 2010, the article explains, the number of low wage earners (less than 9.76 euros per hour in the West, and 7.03 euros in the East) grew 13.5 per cent. In addition, it says, almost half of all new full-time jobs are low-wage.
Some economists argue that Germany's lower wage growth might have had only a marginal boost for its exports, especially since wage stagnation in Germany has disproportionately affected services jobs, and to a lesser extent manufacturing (though the two are intertwined). And many German exports are luxury or high-quality items, which are in demand regardless of marginal differences in the price.
A recent report from the International Labour organisation, a United Nations specialised agency, also singles out German wage policies. "As German unit labour costs were falling relative to those of competitors over the past decade, growth came under pressure in these economies, with adverse consequences for the sustainability of public finances," it says. But the report also questions how much benefit those German policies had on the nation's exports. "As a matter of fact," it says, "recent export successes owe little to these wage policies and more to the geographical orientation of German exporters to dynamic emerging economies."
Putting German wage growth more in line with the European average, then, would arguably be good for everyone. It would allow, as the Macroeconomic Policy Institute report puts it, German workers to receive "a fair share of the economic gains of the past decade." It would also give the weaker eurozone nations a chance to catch up and sell more to Germany's enormous consumer market.
To blame the European debt crisis solely on Germany's competitive export policies would be absurd. Clearly, nations like Greece and Spain require broad and overdue reforms, which is part of why they are hard hit . Yet, if growth in wages and consumption in the eurozone's largest market continue to languish far behind the rest, the great advance toward European integration that German leaders have heralded for decades may quite simply collapse before any sensible reforms are given a chance to work.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is an American sitcom on FOX which centers on a police precinct in Brooklyn, New York. The show stars Andy Samberg as Detective Jake Peralta, a talented but immature detective whose free reign at the 99th Precinct comes to an end when a by-the-book captain takes over. The show will be moving to NBC for its sixth season in 2018/19.
Andre Braugher stars as Raymond Holt, who battled adversity and discrimination to work his way up through the ranks of the NYPD to finally become captain of a precinct. Holt's unemotional style clashes with the Peralta's immature ways, though they are both committed to their police work. Helping Holt command the precinct is Sergeant Terry Jeffords, played by Terry Crews, a body builder who is just as devoted to his wife and two young girls. Terry is back on the front-line after a traumatic incident led to him being put on desk duty.
The precinct's squad includes Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero) an uptight, by-the-book detective who is enamoured with Captain Holt and continually strives to please him. Detective Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) is equal parts smart and tough, and rarely lets the other detectives in on her personal life. Detective Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) is a hard-working detective who isn't physically gifted.
Veteran detectives Norm Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller) and Michael Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker) don't bring much to the table with their police work, though they do make a great cup of coffee. Gina Linetti (Chelsea Peretti) is the precinct's sardonic administrative assistant. Though she sometimes hides behind a clueless attitude, she has been known to be surprisingly observant and more intelligent than she wants to let on.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine premiered on FOX on Tuesday, September 17, 2013. On October 18, 2013, FOX picked the show up for a full season of 22 episodes, and later gave the show a coveted post-Super Bowl time slot with New Girl. After only a few months on air, Brooklyn Nine-Nine won two Golden Globes on January 12, 2014 with Andy Samberg winning the Best Actor - Television Series Musical or Comedy award, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine winning the Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy award. Andre Braugher won a Critics' Choice Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for his role as Captain Holt, while Andy Samberg also won an American Comedy Award for TV Comedy Actor.
FOX renewed Brooklyn Nine-Nine for a second season on March 7, 2014. FOX moved the show to Sunday nights for its second season, airing along side their stable of animated comedies including The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers and Family Guy.
In January 2015, FOX renewed Brooklyn Nine-Nine for a third season. Brooklyn Nine-Nine's third season premiered Sunday, September 27, 2015 on FOX and aired its season finale on April 19, 2016.
In March 2016, FOX renewed Brooklyn Nine-Nine for a fourth season. Brooklyn Nine-Nine's fourth season premiered on Tuesday, September 20, 2016.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine was renewed for a fifth season by FOX in May 2017. The show was moved to the later time of 9:30/8:30c on Tuesdays for its fifth season, which premiered Tuesday, September 26, 2017 and aired its fall finale on December 12, 2017. Brooklyn Nine-Nine aired its milestone ninety-ninth episode during the fifth season. FOX moved Brooklyn Nine-Nine to Sunday nights at 8:30/7:30c from March 18, 2018. The fifth season finale will air Sunday, May 20.
In May 2018, FOX announced it would not be renewing Brooklyn Nine-Nine for a sixth season. Just days later, NBC announced it was picking the show up for a 13-episode season to air mid-season 2018/19. NBC is the sister network of Universal Television, the studio behind Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

All pages at arcadeparadise.org conform to the XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS 2 standards of the W3C. This site will look best when viewed at a screen resolution of at least 800 x 600 at "true color", and with a web browser that conforms to HTML, XHTML, and CSS standards. However, it will display in a very readable and orderly fashion on any browser that you use, including text-only browsers like Lynx, as well as Internet devices like web-enabled cell phones and PDAs (and yes, even outdated obsolete browsers like Netscape 4x and Internet Explorer 3x).
If you're currently reading this on a plain-looking page with no formatting, odds are that you're probably using a web browser that does not adhere to web standards and cannot render valid HTML, XHTML, and CSS properly. In other words, the site isn't "broken" - your web browser is. You're more than welcome to browse this site the same as you would if you were actually using a standards-compliant web browser (and every part of this site will be readable and accessible to you), but do know that arcadeparadise.org looks soooo much cooler when viewed through a browser that does adhere to modern web standards. You do want to be cool, don't you??
It's not like you're required to have the "latest and greatest" here either: browsers that support these standards have been around for years now. Besides, upgrading browsers isn't hard, and even if you're one of those wacky anti-Microsoft zealots / conspiracy theorists, you're certainly not being pushed toward Internet Explorer here...you have plenty of choices from a wide variety of companies. That's the whole beauty behind standards-compliance: the fact that this site was not written for any one browser whatsoever. If you are not using a browser that conforms to web standards, please realize that the sooner you do, the sooner you'll be able to experience and enjoy the web as it was meant to be. If this is the first time that a website has told you this, trust me: it won't be the last.
Time to sit at the grownups' table.
I just implemented a CSS Styleswitcher which allows visitors to the site to choose between a couple of different visual styles. And it's more than just a neat-o CSS trick that looks cool: the "vector" visual theme is more high-contrast in terms of colors, borders, and text, and should therefore be easier for some people to read.
My biggest "accessibility-compliance" gripe is that in IE/Win versions 5 and up - by default - any fixed font size declared in the CSS will override user-specified preferences for font size. What this means is that if a fixed font size is declared in the CSS, attempts at changing the font size from within the browser (by going to View » Text Size) - by default - won't work. It is possible, however, to change this default setting by going to Internet Properties » "General" Tab » "Accessibility" button, and then changing the values to your liking there.
So I'm kind of torn on the issue. The W3C Accessibility Guidelines call for using relative font sizes instead of fixed font sizes, so in theory, I should use relative font sizes if I want arcadeparadise.org to be as accessibility-compliant as it can be. But the other side of this coin is that I would imagine that anyone who does need to change these values knows where to go to change IE's default setting, so it's not like anyone is unable to change the font sizes declared in the CSS if they want to. So my quandry is that on one hand, I want to stick to standards-adherence as close as I can and I want to make this site easier for people with accessibility issues, but on the other hand, it irks me to know that if I do, the site will look "off" in some browsers.
Soooo...based on all of that, my decision right now is for all font sizes on arcadeparadise.org to be based on the W3C Accessibility Guidelines of using relative font sizes. For now I have the "baseline" font set to font-size:small which seems to be around 12px and looks really good on the most of the modern browsers that I've tried it on. That sucks in a way, because it now means that I can't absolutely control how the fonts on this website will look from browser to browser, but for now I'd rather put "accessibility-friendliness" and control in the hands of the site's readers over worrying about the pixel-precision of the fonts. I may change my mind on this later.
Arcadeparadise.org has been tested for compatability on the following browsers:
The following configurations load and display arcadeparadise.org fine, but are known to crash the browser when the CSS Styleswitcher is used:
(For additional information about browser compatibility with the CSS Styleswitcher, please click here.)
I have tried to test the look and layout of arcadeparadise.org on as many platforms and browsers as I could, but I obviously haven't tested it in every conceivable setting. If you notice any problems or anomalies with the site, or if you just have a question or a comment about how it renders on your computer, please drop me a line and let me know.

Since it's Holidays projects that I'm sharing today, the focus of products used will be red, green and white. First lets take a look at the cards I created for today's post, the Christmas tree image and sentiments on both cards are letter-pressed on #110 lb White Card Stock.
The white card stock is great for both letterpress and dry embossing.
The second project today is a layout, picture of my son and daughter. I love the red card stock so much on this one, it makes the entire layout pops and so are the snowflakes! The snowflakes are cut outs using Curious Metallic Iced Silver Card Stock. It's like a layer of silver coating over a white card stock. Love it!
Here is how I create this layout:
Step 1: Prepare a 12x12 patterned card stock and embellish it with title 'Merry Christmas' banner and cut a longer banner using green card stock from CutCardStock.
Step 2: I embossed the red card stock for the background
Step 3: Adhere the embossed card stock from Step 2 on the 12x12 patterned card stock. Cut a green card stock and use it as a mat for the picture. Start embellishing layout.
Step 4: Cut two strips of ribbons and embellish them on the top and bottom of the embossed red card stock.
Step 6: Using my Cameo, I cut out some snowflakes in different sizes and use them with double-sided foam tapes on the layout as embellishment.
That's it! Here is my final layout looks like:
It says SANTA is coming to town!

Hi all,
I'm using a new kit for genomic DNA extraction. All the kits I used previously were based on spin column and centrifugation steps were necessary during the process of DNA extraction.
The new kit I'm using is based on gravity-flow and no centrifugation steps are involved in the process.
Can someone explain me why I can't perform a centrifugation step when I use the columns of a kit that is based on the gravity-flow system?
thank you.

I was wiped out financially during the dot com bust. My 401k was all in company stock that went from a peak value of over 800K to zero. I am 46 years old and now have gotten back on my feet, but still behind the retirement investment power curve. I recently changed jobs and have 50k to roll-over to either an IRA or an employer 401k. I am currently contributing to my new employer 401k but need some feedback concerning investment options of the roll-over from my previous company. I am leaning toward a roll-over to an IRA and diversifying it myself. My questions are as follows:1. Roll-over to an IRA or to new company's 401k (current investment returned 17% last year).2. If I roll to an IRA, given that I am 46 years old, what would be the best way to diversify it given I plan to retire in 20 years.3. I currently utilize TD Ameritrade as my discount broker. Any recommendations for alternatives?I am no investment pro by a long shot. I do need to take on some additional risk to catch up. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

The new school bus routes for Edon School have been established and officials are pleased with the results.
The first bus arrives at the school each day at 7:41 a.m. and the last by 7:45. There was an adjustment made after it was determined that 70 children ride the new town route and the bus was not big enough.
Still, no student has to ride the bus for longer than an hour, Granger said.
"The drivers are driving more than an hour," he said.
Granger said he likes the town route. The kids able to get to the house they belong to with adult eyes on them, he said.
Another change is that no staff cars are parked out front of the school.
"We can have eyes on the loop," Granger said. "We know who the visitors are."
The district is taking Bus 31 out of the fleet as repairs are no longer financially feasible, Granger said. There is also a hole in the frame. The bus will be used to provide spare parts for a similar bus in the fleet.
"It's officially retired," Granger said.
In a related note, the district will develop a plan to replace the school van.
High School Principal Anthony Stevens said his area had a successful start to the school year.
On Aug. 26, nearly every girl in grades 9-12 participated in a self-defense course, Stevens said. The course was two hours long with grades 9-10 in one group and 11-12 in another, he said.
"They stressed the idea of being aware of your surroundings,"Stevens said. "That becomes more important, especially to our girls in grades 11 and 12, looking at what they are doing post-high school.
The course was positively received around the community, Stevens said. People have gone out of their way to tell him what a good idea it was to have the class, he said.
The girls received two hours of instruction in self-defense. The program was the idea Mrs. Everett and Mrs. McBride. It was a joint effort of FFA and the Butterfly Project, he said.
"It was to the benefit of our young ladies; it was hands-on practical knowledge," Stevens said. "The reality is there are times whey they are traveling by themselves and vulnerable to this kind of scenario."
The high school is developing a dual sport participation policy and has completed a proposed addendum to the handbooks. While it has been done successfully other places the school wants to make sure if it occurs in Edon, it's right for the student, Stevens said. The idea would be to limit participation, he said.
"Not to put a student in a bad situation," Stevens said. "It's not for everyone, two can be an immense weight.
"The idea is to develop a process for having those conversations, and allowing students who are capable to be involved."
Participation will take a backseat to academics.
High school juniors will be taking the ACT this year. The staff is working on ways to prepare and motivate the students leading up to the college-entrance exam.
"We are planning on taking all our juniors to Defiance College for a test run," Stevens said.
The test will be offered free to all students to eliminate a barrier to accessing the test. The practice run will let the school know what areas it needs to work on.
The test will be done on paper to keep the format consistent for students, Stevens said.
"We will be bringing kids from 4 County back for this test," Stevens said
Other news:
Enrollment is at 556, up from 521 at the end of the 2015-15 school year, Granger said.
"We saw a difference in the high school classes," he said.
Granger will start work on the 2017-18 calendar. It will be same as this year.
The Edon school district will be receiving an upgrade in technology and will give the old equipment to Goodwill, Granger said.

Blues for a Hard Fall
Give me a miner's hat
I'm going down
Give me a miner's hat
I'm going down
What does it matter that
the sun is brass, leaves flecked with fowl—
dusk blears canary to a gray-white swell.
Under my song's a braying hound
together in the well
at the bottom of this shaft
one of us will drown.
Night heaves and my marrow darkens;
vagus nerve-throbs send the neck blood
pulsing toward a shoe to drop, or sharpen
each last leaf, each paged prayer turns to thud.
Give me a farmer's hoe
I'm hacking through
Give me a reaper's scythe
I'm hacking through
Fields dried up cut down are paved,
one steps into falls gets up, is shod on loss;
each day's colder gray blanks no clean slate,
anger nettles me with prickly frost.
Give me a sailor's slicker
I'm tossed at sea
Give me a whaler's spear
I'm crossed at sea
what does it matter that
the sky is red – it's swarmed with geese,
and dawn breaks to shale I have to stack.
Under the moan of a beached baleen
alone in this expanse
fog-blurred field-wide well-deep
we split, hit ground and sink.

Fernando, To Fernando
Tell me the heteronym of your worst self
and I'll let you decipher my handwritten diary.
Today, one said, I like engines much less,
but we know that's a lie – it's always a you
or I unliked, and it's all over the diary
scraps gathered from the floor of a messy
but respectable tavern, homely, adjacent
to the train station. You never dared to
get on the train long scrutinized, schedules
studied, as if you were genuine
about going someday somewhere to be a new.
How unremarkable, the failure to change
the face you look out of, the fixed
others pinned in word-photos, the wheel-
longing your stare chugs along, along with
everything, says the diary, "tremulous" and "banal" –
the inert exhaustion of wanting to want
nowhere to go. You go back to your rented
room, window to the tracks and write
nothing – blank confetti later to litter
the hardwood under strangers' feet and
suitcases on end. The head of one self
spins with the disquiet of a departing train
the other pretends to have boarded.
From Eurynome in Exile
The First Wandering: July, '98
"we have to make a negotiation with the places we leave behind, the places we return to"
(Andre Aciman, False Papers)
The next mornings I crept out of
my sister's cabin holding the rest of them
in sleep on a Medicine Bow mountain,
took a path to a cluttered clearing, a broken trunk,
and notebook on knees, pursued my old routine,
beginning one of many stories.
In the hour's stillness I could hear each
creaking tree that years from now will fall,
and the wind grew into hissing or shirring
wheels across interstate 80 rose up to me
(no matter where, I hear
highways and night trains and the "what will you do)
then something else moaned, nearer,
a voice in the branch that tomorrow
will fall beside me as I put down
The second evening:
We piled fifteen in the Chevy suburban,
drove to the summit
to watch the sun-set
on the range beyond
. Elk Mountain
And back,
after the fire-side stories
outside the dark cabin,
my sister says, you could be safe
with your words here,
but my younger brother walks me
to the end of the road.
There he tells me the military
scrolling maneuver of his desert
war days eight years ago.
It's called hearting the area--
How to capture an unknown place,
one by one the soldiers are
sent out, in opposite arcs from
an imagined center.
If they meet silence, the next two
spool out, one by one, and the first
set advances, and if no one is shot,
they close the heart at its end point.
We stood together in the middle
of the gravel road, silent for minutes,
then he says, "since you're the smart one,
tell me, what's this line from--
'this is the path thou hath yet not taken,'
says, "That's all I kept thinking when
I stood there waiting, holding my ground
for another private or enemy coming--
"And I keep hearing it in places like this--
see that full moon? You think it's pretty,
but we're exposed." As we turn back
he insists, "there's gotta be a poem in this."
Long after my return to prairie,
squeezed again into Midwest suburbia,
it comes back to me: how to capture the land's
snow-peaks slope into hills lush falling
pines away into Nebraska flat tawny
Iowa valleys green Illinois cornfields and soy,
and despite the simplicity I want a year for,
his words and foreign words and the diverging
roads of family tell me
there won't be any cabin in the woods:
In this space of time
the mind's wide
as this country, &
the questions spool out one by
one answers are
animal-like, bird-skittish, head
raised at every noise—
& where do they come from,
the lines that haunt us—
do they say,
move out
stand still
or, arc the way
home. Is the sound
wheels, or

MLB roundup: Nationals sign Soriano; Francona's book takes shots
Rafael Soriano appears to have signed himself into a closer controversy.
The free agent relief pitcher has agreed to a two-year, $28 million contract with the Washington Nationals, Yahoo! Sports reported Tuesday.
By signing Soriano, the Nationals will lose their first-round draft pick, because Soriano was one of three remaining free agents with draft-pick compensation attached.
Soriano's deal includes a $14 million option for 2015 that vests if Soriano finishes 120 games in 2013 and 2014 combined, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports. That would require him to be the Nationals' fulltime closer.
The Nationals' bullpen already includes Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard. Storen had 43 saves in 2011 and four in 2012 while Clippard saved 32 games in 2012.
Soriano had 42 saves and a 2.26 earned run average for the Yankees in 2012, when he became the team's closer after Mariano Rivera injured his knee and was lost for the season. But Rivera is scheduled to return this season.
---Speaking of controversy, Terry Francona's upcoming book, which will be released later this month, takes some shots the Boston Red Sox owners, according to excerpts published by WBZ in Boston.
The implication is the owners don't love baseball and put ratings and attendance above everything else.
One except describes a meeting with then-general manager Theo Epstein, Francona and the ownership group of Larry Lucchino, Tom Werner and John Henry:
"Werner talked about slumping television ratings and whined, 'We need to start winning in more exciting fashion,'" according to excerpt, which later quoted Epstein as saying, "They told us we didn't have any marketable players, that we needed some sizzle. We need some sexy guys. Talk about the tail wagging the dog. This is like an absurdist comedy."
---The Seattle Mariners have signed Luis Liberato, a 17-year-old outfielder from the Domincan Republic, to a $140,000 contract, according to Baseball America.

Kiwis drop the ball on government server upgrade
Aotearoa: 404 Not Found... for two days
On Saturday 26 September, while the All Blacks were flattening France (37-17) in the Rugby World Cup at Eden Park, the New Zealand government geeks were in the server rooms, upgrading machines hosting crucial government business sites.
Unlike the All Blacks, the government geek team scored not just an own goal, but completely lost the game and plot.
They fouled up a server upgrade to the point that New Zealanders are now left without access to 14 crucial government business websites for at least two days and maybe longer.
Exactly what went wrong has yet to be revealed. The Ministry of Economic Development says the outage "occurred during preparation work on Saturday [24 Sept] evening to upgrade the servers hosting the websites".
No further details have been provided by the ministry.
The sites in question include the Consumer Affairs; Companies Office; Insolvency and Trustee Service; Motor Vehicle Traders Register; Radio Spectrum Management; and Government Procurement Solutions – amongst others.
What's more, an Outage Notice published by the Ministry of Economic Development says the websites will be unavailable until 28 September at least. Some of the ministry services relying on the sites – such as the Companies Office – are extending their deadlines by five working days on restoration of services.
Kiwis in a rush are asked to use Facebook, Twitter, email and plain old phones to contact government agencies.
The New Zealand arm of Telstra – TelstraClear – is hosting the NZ government sites affected by the outage.
A quick poke at sites such as business.govt.nz, via netcraft.com, show that they run open-source software such Debian GNU/Linux as the operating system, and Apache 1.3.33 as the web server.
According to the Apache Software Foundation, version 1.3.x has been declared "end of life". Users have been asked to move to version 2.2 of the very popular open-source webserver. ®
A spokesman from TelstraClear has been in touch to emphasise that, "While TelstraClear does host the affected sites, the outage is nothing to do with TelstraClear or the hosting." He added that TelstraClear has "offered the assistance of our experts if that would help speed the resolution." Which is nice.

Ways of getting a loan with low credit include using collateral, peer-to-peer lending and credit unions, according to About.com. Other ways include getting a cosigner and submitting relevant information regarding the borrower's income, notes SFGate.
A person with low credit can try borrowing from individuals in peer-to-peer lending instead of banks, as individuals can be more sympathetic, and banks come with higher overhead costs and rigid rules and conditions, details About.com. The borrower can also get a cosigner, who should have a sufficient financial cushion and be a relative or close friend. This action can also help the borrower to obtain better terms, although the cosigner remains accountable for the loan should the borrower default, cautions SFGate.
Additionally, since a person can have low credit from a one-time incident, such as divorce, death or job loss, it is important to submit all relevant information regarding financial status when borrowing. The information may include recent pay stubs, tax returns and the summary of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. This information, as well as evidence of new recovery after the incident, such as getting a new job and acquiring valuable assets, can increase chances of loan approval, advises SFGate. Other options for increasing the odds of acceptance include offering collateral to show commitment and offer the lender a measure of security, explains About.com.

Wet N Wild Mega Last Lip Color in Vamp It Up, Red Velvet, Think Pink Review
(Vamp It Up, Red Velvet, Think Pink)
Mega Last Lip Color – $3, steal! – is a long-wearing lipstick with a matte finish*. But it isn't matte. They LIE. It's semi-matte.
The website claims:
Lips take center stage! This 4-hour, longwearing lip color leaves a semi-matte, crème finish in one stroke. Glides on easily with rich, velvety color that doesn't cake, feather, or bleed. Made with hydrating skin-care ingredients: Hyaluronic Microspheres provide extraordinary adhesion to lips, an exclusive polymer complex offers cushion-like feel and texture, and natural marine plant extracts Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamins A & E help smooth lips. (source)
Four-hour? A bit of a stretch. These last two to three hours on me. *While it says semi-matte on the website, in-stores it simply says "matte finish." Color is incredibly opaque, and can go on a little bit cakey. Doesn't feather or bleed, either. However, it is a little drying. I myself never seem to notice whether it "feels" dry or not until the next day when my lips may feel a bit tight. The packaging is cheap. Really cheap. The plastic part surrounding the lipstick refuses to stay in the tube. And that gets a little bit frustrating.
- Think Pink – a light, pretty blue-based pink
- Vamp It Up – a dark purple (Note: photo washes out color)
- Red Velvet- a deep blue-based pink (Note: photo washes out color)

This technology would be perfect for generating a 3-D Amfleet model (or many other passenger car models):
I'm not sure we're looking at the same kinds of programming. I imagine "C" is part of the BVE/ OpenBVE application itself, but the object files were historically defined with simple text files naming the faces of the object, laying out the various co-ordinates of the faces, and either assigning a color or specifying a bitmap to be assigned to a particular object face as a texture.
I imagine any object converted from the output of the application in the above linked video would need fairly involved editing to reduce the number of object faces, but it might be easier than coding up a carbody from scratch (assuming one is familiar enough with object creation.

Another recipe we decided from the Everyday Food May 2013 issue was the cover shot of Chicken with Pineapple-Cucumber Salad.
The chicken was bbq'd with a simple spice blend of lime zest and chili powder. Then the salad was pineapple, cucumber, lime juice & cilantro. Our evening was so warm and sunny this is a perfect summer style dinner. It smelled fantastic as the chicken was bbqing and the side salad was cool and sweet. We all really loved this dinner and based on simplicity, this is a perfect busy weeknight go-to dinner option.

"Cerion chaplini new species Figs. 1 to 4.
Shell cylindroid; elongate; solid; rimate. Type of 12 ¼ flat-sided whorls; first 2 ½ whorls amber colored. Suture pronounced. Short parietal tooth or none, and oblique columellar fold. Smooth, or irregularly spaced, distant coastae which parallel growth lines; costae of indifferent strength but well pronounced on the base (interval between costae varying from ½ to 1 ½ mm. behind the peristome of the type). Internal apertural color white through pink to pale violet. Shell weakly mottled with light brown. Costae polished, interstices dull.
Height 39.2 mm., diam. 14.4 mm., 12 ¼ whorls. (Type.)
Height 40.0 mm., diam. 14.8 mm., 12 ¾ whorls. (Largest.)
Height 31.9 mm., diam. 12.5 mm., 10 ¾ whorls. (Smallest.)
Type and 34 paratypes collected by C. G. Chaplin on palm trees inside the mangrove fringe along the north
Six immature shells of 7 to 9 whorls were found. These each have a distinct columellar fold. One specimen of 7 ¼ whorls has two pronounced, tubercle-like, parietal teeth ¼ whorl within the aperture. The others either lack these or they are too deeply seated to be seen. The bases of the immature shells are irregularly and intermittently spirally striate. This striation is due to depositions of callus that are visually evident in coloring, but are not raised above their interstices and cannot, therefore, be interpreted as lamellae.
Stations 4a, 5, 13, 15a, 19 (type locality) and 24.
The single specimen collected by Chaplin at Station 4a was inhabited by a hermit crab. Excepting station 19 the other Cayo Largo stations where this species was found produced only two or three empty shells that had probably been dropped by hermit crabs. From the number of shells found at station 13 it is evident that the species is also established on Cayo de la Piedra. it was not found on the three Majas islands.
This species is near both Cerion iostomum (Pfr.) and C. hyperlissum Pils. and Van. It differs from the former primarily in being elongate and is lacking the pronounced violet coloration within the aperture. It differs from C. hyperlissum primarily in the lack of the deeply penetrating parietal tooth."

Family vacations are fun, but traveling with little ones can be stressful. As a new mom, I still struggle to remember everything we need each time we step out the door.
Having a baby does not mean that vacations are over, but it does mean you need to plan a little more. Great Wolf Lodge specializes in vacations for families with young children. Here are a few of my tips for making your Great Wolf Lodge visit a success.
Play with your visit dates
There are 365 days in a year and only 104 are weekend days. Plan your Great Wolf Lodge stay during an off-peak time of year when the water parks are not as busy. Surprise your family with a mid-week getaway, or start your stay on a Sunday.
Do your research
There is so much to see and do! Visit Greatwolf.com before your trip. Water park attractions are listed by age, so you can plan what is appropriate for everyone in your family before you arrive. Utilize the Great Wolf "Ask A Mom" panel and visit the Great Wolf Facebook page each Monday to see questions from moms like you.
Bring Baby's food
Every room at Great Wolf Lodge comes with a refrigerator and a microwave, free of charge. This makes it easy to store formula and baby food, as well as re-heat meals. Purchase a "Wolf it Down" Family Meal during your stay, which includes pizza, salad, soda and cookies. You can save whatever is not eaten right away for a midnight snack after the kids have gone to bed!
Don't sweat the small stuff
Our water parks help make baby's day easy. Water park rest rooms include baby changing tables and towels and life jackets are provided free of charge. In case you forget to pack them, swim diapers (and other amenities) are available for purchase in the Bear Essentials Swim Shop.
Take a break
With the water park down the hall from your room, you can keep your family's naptime schedule. Pack 'n Play beds can be borrowed on a first come, first serve basis from the front desk. Bring your child's favorite blanket and put it in the Pack 'n Play so it feels like home. While baby sleeps, stretch out on your comfortable bed and relax. Isn't that what vacation is all about?
Bring pajamas
This may seem obvious, but I have two reasons. Each night Great Wolf Lodge invites all children to the lobby for Story Time. The resort's youngest guests all arrive in their pajamas and nightgowns for the Clock Tower show and that night's bedtime story. Who doesn't love to see little ones in pj's?
Need a second reason? On your last day, as you change from swimsuits before heading to the car, dress your children in their pajamas. This way, when they all asleep on the drive home, it's easier to transition them to bed once you get home.

Turn into the winding driveway hidden by foliage and a man in a suit greets you before offering complimentary valet parking. Staff members in lavender polo shirts guide you to a hallway where smoked salmon sandwiches garnished with olives and cucumbers await. Ceramic platters of cookies are plentiful and salads are served in Asian takeout boxes paired with chopsticks. Tiny jars of honey are available to accompany your tea.
This is voting, Brentwood-style.
"It just makes it an experience," said Erla Perez as she noshed on a salad at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, located in one of Los Angeles' most affluent neighborhoods.
The 18-year-old nursing student lives in the dorms at Mount St. Mary's College and arrived Tuesday with her two roommates after class, all of them still in their white scrubs and tennis shoes.
One of them, Yanira Olague, 19, had requested an absentee ballot but was glad she decided to turn it in by hand, even if it meant feeling self-conscious about her 1992 Honda Civic among the luxury cars.

A few months ago, we all got swept up in an avalanche of Dead Island. Within days we went from knowing nothing about the game to having a "so serious it hurt" trailer that was everywhere on the Internet to seeing it in action and finding a goofy zombie slasher with racial stereotypes. In the whirlwind, it was hard to get an accurate read on if people liked the game or were just cranky it wasn't the piano-driven backwards video so many fell in love with.
The dust has settled and I just put down the Dead Island controller. I do like open-world, 4-player cooperative zombie killer so far. It's still rough around the edges and a bit clunky (especially when driving), but when I lop off a zombie's head with a machete and blood explodes across the screen in slow motion, it's hard not to fall in love.
Oddly, though, that's really all I have to say at the moment. Dead Island's strength seems to lie in blood. Hacking off arms, stabbing zombies in the chest, and hurling objects at the undead is simple but satisfying in this first-person game from developer Techland. I ran a couple of quests (fix a radio tower, save a church filled with survivors), but the things I remember vividly are the gore, the in-game achievement progress that kept flashing on the screen, and the weapons.
That's saying something. When I first heard that Dead Island's weapons would be found around the environment, would break down over time, and could be combined to form super-weapons, I kind of rolled my eyes and assumed we were getting a first-person Dead Rising 2. All that stuff is in Capcom's undead killer, but Dead Island does enough with it to make it feel different and not as cartoonish.
The weapons I used in my demo never broke. You can monitor a weapon's condition by glancing at the little health meter each one has, and it didn't seem like my machete was deteriorating quickly. When I got to safehouses, I could repair, upgrade and combine the weapons I had been using by spending money. When I put the C4 together with the throwing knife, the result was a tactical weapon that wasn't just a visual gag like some of Dead Rising 2's combos. This was meant for clearing out a group of roamers.
Gauging the difficulty of the ghouls you're up against is a bit hard. I was given a whole bunch of money at the get-go, so I suped-up my weapons. As such, the low level "vessels" were usually beaten to death before they could stand up, and the harder "infected" were just tougher because they'd run at me on sight. There were a couple special zombies in there (a straight jacket-wearing tank I had to dodge and attack from behind as well as a suicidal zombie that wanted to explode on me), but they weren't anything remarkable.
"They weren't anything remarkable" probably sounds like a knock and casts Dead Island into some folks' "been there and done that" pile, but it doesn't for me. Dead Island isn't reinventing the wheel. It's borrowing pieces of other undead games we've seen before (Left 4 Dead's co-op and perspective, Dead Rising's weapons and leveling, etc.) and combining them for an experience zombie nuts like myself are going to want to play. I want to take a character to the level cap in this game, I want to play through the quests that come on crumpled up sheets of loose leaf, and I want to see how many dead guys I can take out. Dead Island isn't its trailer, but it sure is interesting.

Which population to use
Many large cities have a number of different population values, including wikipedia:city, wikipedia:Urban area and wikipedia:Metropolitan area. Which should we use and should we not be able to reflect all of these different values? Possibly using population:urban, population:metropolitan in addition to population? PeterIto 15:07, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
households as unit
We've got some data on villages in Africa, but it's a count of the number households. I'm thinking "population=6 households" (like unit of measurement) would be an ok way to tag this -- Harry Wood (talk) 01:51, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- +1. If required an estimation of the number of people could be had by using a typical households' population as a rough estimate. Warin61 (talk) 10:02, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
Urban centre OR statistical area population?
A country town may have available two (or more) population numbers - one for the urban centre of the town, another for the larger area whose residents may rely on the town for supplies, services etc. Which to use? I think the larger. For example the true 'importance' of two towns, both with the same urban population, is best determined by the total number of people reliant on it. Do remember that the population number is used to estimate the facilities a town offers, if the larger area has a substantial population then the town would probably offer the services to go with that.

This post gives you a deep understanding about system call and a way to add a new system call to Linux kernel.
System call is call to kernel service made using software interrupts. An interrupt is a way to notify kernel about occurrence of some event, and this results in changes in the sequence of instructions that is executed by the CPU. A software interrupt, also referred to as an exception, is an interrupt that originates by software in user mode. User mode is one of two distinct execution modes of operation for the CPU in Linux. It is a non-privileged mode in which each process starts out. So these processes dose not have privilege to access memory allocated by the kernel.
The kernel is a program that constitutes the core of an operating system, and it has complete control over all resources on the system and everything that occurs on it. When a user mode process wants to use a service provided by the kernel (i.e., access system resources other than the limited memory space that is allocated to the user program), it must switch temporarily into kernel mode, also called system mode, by means of a system call.
Kernel mode has all privileges, including root access permissions. This allows the operating system to perform restricted actions such as accessing hardware devices or the memory management unit. System calls can also be viewed as gateway to kernel through which programs request services from the kernel.
Above Figure shows the general flow graph of the system call. User application lies in user space and system call body is in kernel space. In the user application the kernel privilege data can accessed by the system call. System call body will start a new kernel thread to serve the user application.
I would like to take you through a sequence of steps in creating your own system call.
1. Editing kernel source code to add system call
2. Compiling modified kernel for x86 machine
3. Building an application to text your system call
Add System Call
Lets install all the dependency packages (libncurses5-dev)
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
Then update and install all the upgrade your machine.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Download kernel source code. Here, i am using the kernel 3.2, there are various other versions are available here. Below command also downloads kernel.
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.X.tar.bz2
Extract the tarball to ~/linux-3.x/
sudo tar -xvf linux-3.X.tar.bz2 -C ~/linux-3.x/
Change the directory to ~/linux-3.x/
cd ~/linux-3.x/
Now lets add the system call in the above downloaded kernel.
First, we need to create a new directory in the root of the kernel sources tree. Name of new directory is "new_syscall". In this directory, we need to create two files.
1. Implementation of our system call itself, hello.c:
The below snippet is the body of system call. Basically, This function is the one which should called in the kernel space when appropriate system call is invoked from the user space.
2. Makefile to build it
After creating the system call, we need to set up the Makefile to build it. Following snippet will show you the contain of Makefile which is used to build our system call.
This is a very simple Makefile, because the build system of the kernel takes care of most of the work. This concludes the new files that will need to be added to the kernel sources to make a new system call.
There are a few source files in the kernel that will need to be updated in order to add the new system call to be added to the kernel build system. The first, and simplest of these is the root-level Makefile. Find the following line, around line 711 of the root-level Makefile:
core-y := kernel/ mm/ fs/ ipc/ security/ crypto/ block
Add your newly created directory "new_syscall" as shown :
core-y := kernel/ mm/ fs/ ipc/ security/ crypto/ block/ new_syscall/
Now, open the include/linux/syscalls.h file, and add a definition for your new system call.
asmlinkage long sys_hello(void);
This step expose your system call to other parts of the kernel. While this is not necessary for this simple system call, it is still good practice for when adding a real system call to the kernel.
NOTE: asmlinkage keyword tells your compiler to look on the CPU stack for the function parameters, instead of registers. System calls are services that userspace can call to request the kernel to perform something for them. These functions can not behave like normal functions, where parameters are typically passed by writing to the program stack, but instead they are written to registers. While still in userspace, calling a syscall requires writing certain values to certain registers. The system call number will always be written in eax, while the the rest of the parameters will go into other registers.
At this stage, you simply need to add the name of your system call to arch/x86/include/asm/unistd_32.h. Register the system call symbolic name with the kernel by adding system call number and system call name as below.
#define __NR_setns 346
#define __NR_sys_hello 347 <Add this line >
#ifdef __KERNEL__
#define NR_syscalls 348 <add 1 in total number of system call>
The kernel maintains a list of all registered system calls in the system call table. This table assigns each valid system call a unique system call number which cannot be changed or recycled(which is given in above step). Processes do not refer to system calls by name, but rather by their system call number.
The final file that needs to be updated is the system call table, which resides in arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S. Add the definition for your new system call, by adding the following:
.long sys_hello
After configuring the systemcall perfectly kernel compilation is done to use system call from user domain.
Compiling modified kernel
Linux kernel can be compiled natively in the Linux environment using the native "gcc" compiler. Make files allow configuration changes using particular make options. The steps involved in compiling the kernel are:
1. Call the make utility within the un-tarred Linux kernel code (in this case Linux-3.2) directory with the required option – menuconfig, defconfig, xconfig, oldconfig and so on. menuconfig is used to edit the text based version of linux. xconfig is used to edit the windows and other GUI tools in KDE system and gconfig is used to edit same but in gnome system. I have used "make oldconfig", which can configure new kernel as my existing kernel configuration. Before this the directories can be cleaned using the "make mrproper" and "make clean" command.
2. Once the compilation configuration is done use the "make" command to compile the kernel. To compile project, first need to compile each source file into an object file, this in turn needs to be linked with system libraries into the final executable file. This all is done by build system of Linux kernel.
3. Once the kernel compiles successfully use the make modules and then the make modules_install options to compile and install modules into the kernel. Loadable modules are compiled and installed in the /lib/modules directory
4. Then use the "make install" command to install the kernel in the /boot partition.
5. Then switch to the /boot partition and use the "mkinitramfs" command with the –o option to create the RAM disk file as shown mkinitramfs –o initrd.img-<kernel_version_number>. You can get kernel version number by simple typing "uname -a" command on your terminal.
6. GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) is a boot loader package developed to support multiple operating systems/kernel and allow the user to select among them during boot-up. After installing the modules and kernel it is essential to update the grub file to see the installed kernel version in the boot option. So, use "update-grub" command to update the boot entries in the grub file.
Thats it. You have installed new kernel in your system. Now just reboot your system and and select newly compiled kernel from grub selection menu.
Building an application
That's it ! you have successfully added new system call to the kernel. For simple testing of the system application program is essential which can call system call. Below application is test application for your system call. This application will invoke __NR_sys_hello from the kernel space using syscall().
Compile the program, run it and check the dmesg command to see the "Hello World ! I am your system call." output. Use below commands to check the output of your system call.
$ gcc hello.c -o hello $ ./hello $ Return Value from syscall is : 0 $ Please check system console(using "dmesg") for system call output. $ dmesg
Cheers… you have done it !

Microsoft Corp. executives wasted little time responding to U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's June 7 decision to break the software giant in two. Microsoft filed a request for a stay in U.S. District Court, Washington, and a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The software giant now embarks on what could be a lengthy course of action, though its business practices--including marketing initiatives--could face extensive court-mandated changes in three months if a stay isn't granted.
Microsoft has four months to respond with a counterplan, but Judge Jackson also imposed business conduct restrictions that will take effect in 90 days unless a stay is granted. Microsoft executives said at a news conference after the ruling that they believe the court will approve a stay well before the end of the 90-day period.
The appellate phase of the case is expected to take a "number of months, at least a year or longer," said Microsoft Chief Counsel Bill Neukom. The process could take a lot longer, however, if the government tries to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court Court could take several months to decide whether it will even hear the case.
Microsoft executives said they're confident they will win the case on appeal. Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates said: "This is the beginning of a new chapter in this case. We will be appealing this decision, and we believe we have a very strong case on appeal. We believe this ruling is inconsistent with the past decisions by the appeals court, with fundamental fairness and with the reality of the marketplace. Consumers every day see more competition, lower prices and an economy full of innovation."
Those statements by Microsoft's founder could resurface in new Microsoft advertising making its case to the public, though the company didn't immediately respond on whether such reactive advertising would break June 8.
Mr. Gates said that while Microsoft is pursuing a stay, the company will continue full speed ahead on developing Next Generation Windows Services. Microsoft is expected to outline its vision for Web-distributed software and integrated services on June 22, rescheduled from June 1 because of the pending antitrust decision.
The latest phase of the antitrust battle is likely to spawn a new wave of advertising by Microsoft, which used its top executives, Mr. Gates and President-CEO Steve Ballmer, in TV spots by McCann-Erickson/A&L, San Francisco and New York, after the original April 3 decision by Judge Jackson. Judge Jackson then ruled that Microsoft exerted monopoly power in the software industry.
The June 7 ruling to split Microsoft into two companies came as no surprise. One of those companies would encompass Microsoft's operating system business and the other company would be for applications such as Microsoft's popular Office software suite and properties such as MSN. The final decision in the case comes after more than two years of legal wrangling.

General News of Tuesday, 14 January 2003
Source: Daily Graphic
The National Reconciliation Commission (NRC) begins public hearing of complaints from victims of human rights violations today (Tuesday) at the Old Parliament House in Accra.
The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is expected to perform the inaugural ceremony, which will attract high-profile local and foreign guests, including Dr Alex Borraine, the Deputy Chairman of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the founder of the International Centre for Transitional Justice in New York.
The inaugural ceremony will be strictly by invitation after which the public will be admitted to the hearings. The commission has set aside Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for public hearing during which a minimum of 15 cases will be heard.
More than 100 of the 2,800 complaints so far received by the commission have been fully investigated and slated for hearing. Statements so far taken from witnesses cover abductions, killings, disappearances, torture, ill treatment and seizure of property.
The periods under review, as defended by Act 611, which set up the commission, are 24 February 1966, to 21 August 1969; 13 January 1972 to 23 September 1979 and December and 31 December 1981 to 6 January 1993.
However, people desirous of lodging complaints or petitions in respect of violations or human rights abuses during constitutional government governments and between 6 March 1957 and 6 January 1993, are encouraged to do so with the commission.
The commission is expected to hold both public and private hearings for a period not exceeding one year from the date of its first hearing except that for a good cause shown by the commission, the President may by Executive Instrument, extend the term of the commission for a further period of six months.
At the end of its work, the commission shall within three months, submit its final report to the President. The Investigations Department of the commission has started servicing notices to all parties to appear before the commission on the hearings days.
The object of the hearings is to afford alleged victims of human rights violations and persons involved in human rights violations the opportunity to tell their stories, seek redress in the process and contribute to national healing and reconciliation.
The hearings will also provide a unique opportunity for the general public to appreciate the nature and patters of human rights violations during the military regimes. Ms Annie Anipa, Director of Public Affairs of the commission, said in an interview that the hearings will be conducted in accordance with the rules of natural justice and procedural fairness with the prime consideration that a miscarriage of justice does not occur.
"The reconciliation hearings will be qualitatively different from court hearings in the sense that unlike a court hearing, the aim of the reconciliation hearings will not be to decide who wins and who loses in a particular case," she said.
She added that the commission is a quasi-judicial body and, therefore, a semi-formal procedure will be adopted for the hearings with the aim of obtaining relevant and appropriate information to assist the commission in determining the veracity or otherwise of the statements received.
Ms Anipa said the procedure will also enable the commission to make appropriate recommendations for redress in respect of individual complaints and for fostering reconciliation, showing respect to the victims or witnesses and providing a platform for healing the hurt of others.
She said each witness will be led by counsel for the commission and that each witness is also entitled to have his or her own counsel. She said further that if the need arises, the commission will move outside Accra to hold some of its public hearings.
Ms Anipa urged Ghanaians to focus on reconciliation and to reconcile with one another in order to enhance peace in the country. "We also wish to assure Ghanaians that we are determined to achieve the object for which the commission was set up," she said.
She acknowledged that the task of reconciling a nation is not easy but said the commission draws inspiration from the fact that the majority of Ghanaians recognise the need to reconcile the nation, adding that "in 2003, the commission will work even harder to make the reconciliation process a reality."
She said the work of the commission is that of peace-building, development and nation-building, observing that "this has become even more imperative as a country engaged in consolidation of democracy and the strengthening of governance institutions."
Ms Anipa said besides providing historical clarification of human rights violations during the specified periods, the commission will direct its work towards providing victims a forum to express their grievances.
Justice K.E. Amua-Sekyi, a retired Supreme Court Judge, chairs the nine-member commission. Other commissioners are Professor Henrietta Mensah-Bonsu, Senior Lecturer of the Faculty of Law, University of Ghana; Most Rev Charles Palmer Buckle, Catholic Bishop of Koforidua; Christian Appia-Agyei, former Secretary-General of the Trades Union Congress; Lt Gen Emmanuel Erskine, former Commander of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), and Dr Sylvia Boye, formerly of the West Africa Examinations Council (WAEC).
The rest are Prof Florence Abena Dolphyne, former Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana; Maulvi Wahab Adam, Ameer and Missionary in charge of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission; Uborr Dalafu Labal II, Paramount Chief of Sangulu in the Northern Region. Dr Ken Attafuah, is the Executive Secretary of the commission.

Look my Scat…. become my toilet slave
4 clips inside this video! You?ll be getting a 9 minute & 40 second long video of me! Look below for a description of the clips themselves!
Clip #1: Here I am crouching over a paper towel, watch and be amazed at how my ass produces these beautiful YUMMY chocolate logs! Are my grunts sexy? I know they turn you on! My aim was a bit off, I got a little on the floor. LOL
Clip #2: In this clip I am standing over the back of the toilet. You get to see & hear a few good plops of my poop as it splashes into the water. Exhausted from standing I turn around and take a seat, while I am sitting there pushing I tease you a bit by shaking my titties & rubbing on then. Wiping & aftermath as always! Sorry about being lazy in this clip, I am coming down with a cold.
Clip #3: Here is another clip of me standing over the back of the toilet. This one is a nice thick log; my asshole spreads nice & wide to let this baby out! Unfortunately my camera died while recording the second part of me as I turned around and sat down on the pot. I continued to push for about 5 more minutes and was able to produce a HUGE load! I added some still pictures of the aftermath!
Clip #4: In this clip I am leaning up against the edge of the counter, trying very hard to aim my sexy little puckering anus right at you! Do you like my sexy ass???? How nice & tasty does my asshole look when it?s opening wide with a nice little treat just for you?

This is to provide a clear demonstration of the cost/benefit principle.

Hamas operates in the West Bank/Gaza, Hezbollah operates in Lebanon.
And it was mostly likey Hezbollah, who is backed by Iran, but the Lebanese miltary is supposed be blocking these actions.
