On its 30th anniversary, the AAA Actions Agro Alimentaire fund boasts a performance of 9.6% per annum since inception
Created in 1985, AAA Actions Agro Alimentaire, a Fonds Commun de Placement (French mutual fund) managed by Natixis Asset Management, is celebrating its 30th anniversary and has turned in an annualised performance of 9.6%1 with lower volatility than the major equity indices2. Invested in the food and consumer sectors, AAA Actions Agro Alimentaire benefits from a conviction-driven active management in a defensive universe made up of predominantly European, as well as international, companies to take advantage of the various global dynamics.
A buoyant theme : food and consumption
Traditionally defensive, the food and consumer sectors offer particularly attractive opportunities:
- By past standards, these companies are less sensitive to economic cycles - they generate steady results and are often referred to as "safe-haven stocks";
- These companies are boosted by product innovation and investment;
- Placing emerging countries at the heart of their strategy, these companies benefit from dynamic domestic consumption resulting from the growth of the middle classes and improvement of their purchasing power.
A conviction-driven active management
AAA Actions Agro Alimentaire has been managed for 20 years by Françoise Lafitte, who has in-depth knowledge of each company in the food and consumer sectors as well as a thorough understanding of the growth dynamics of these sectors. To this end, the investment management team holds close to 100 meetings each year with company leaders. The fund benefits from a conviction-driven active management, without any benchmark replication. The portfolio of AAA Actions Agro Alimentaire is comprised of around 60 stocks out of roughly 820 "food and consumer" stocks listed mainly in Europe but also internationally. AAA Actions Agro Alimentaire is invested in companies3 such as: Anheuser Bush Inbev, Danone, Carrefour, Inditex, Sodexo and Unilever.
"We are confident that AAA Actions Agro Alimentaire will continue to offer investors attractive long-term return prospects. Consumer brands worldwide have significant growth potential. Our scenario is notably underpinned by the development of an emerging middle class that should express growing consumption needs," comments Françoise Lafitte, fund manager of AAA Actions Agro Alimentaire at Natixis Asset Management.
Marketed by the Banque Populaire and Caisse d'Epargne networks, AAA Actions Agro Alimentaire is eligible for the French Equity Savings Plan (PEA), life insurance policies and securities accounts. The fund is designed for all types of investors (institutional, corporate and retail).

Strip-searched, hooded and kidnapped by a mysterious band of home-invaders (certainly terrorists, possibly Iranian) super-spy Carrie Mathison ended Sunday's episode of "Homeland" right where we need her.
On her own.
Five episodes into this reinvigorated series's third season, Showtime's "Homeland" seems finally to have ditched the tired Carrie/Brody romance and returned to its thriller roots.
The excellent Claire Danes had already bowled us over last week, when the show revealed that a major recent storyline — Carrie's national humiliation, the public decimation of her career and her confinement to a mental ward — was in fact a ruse designed to bait terrorists.
As conspiracy tales go, this one's a whopper, a perfect balance of cynicism (the CIA can't be trusted) and idealism (the CIA can work wonders).
As television, it's even better.
Like Bryan Cranston on the late, great "Breaking Bad" and the Jessica Lange-led cast of divas on "American Horror Story: Coven," Danes pushes the bedraggled, hysterical Carrie to the limit of our affections.
And she's not alone. Her chemistry with Mandy Patinkin's Saul Berenson is impeccable.
Damian Lewis, the show's ostensible male lead, has been featured in only one episode this season, and as good as the actor is, "Homeland" hasn't really missed his played-out Brody.
That could change, of course. "Homeland" is nothing if not surprising.
"Homeland" airs Sunday on Showtime at 9 p.m. EST.

Never underestimate the power of a juicy ham with a rakish hat.
NBC's "The Blacklist" is the fall's most popular new drama, with star James Spader lugging the show into that spot week after week.
Spader (who was a perfect foil for William Shatner on "Boston Legal") plays Raymond "Red" Reddington, TV's latest iteration of a Hannibal Lecter-esque sicko genius. (The network's dismal "Hannibal" returns in 2014).
While the supercilious, fedora-sporting Spader is an amusing knock-off of Anthony Hopkins's "Silence of the Lambs" creep, his affectless costar, Megan Boone, is no Jodie Foster.
Yet even a better actress — think Jennifer Carpenter of "Dexter" — would have trouble with the dim character concocted by "Blacklist" creator Jon Bokenkamp.
Here's an FBI profiler so clueless she's married to a possible killer and seems oddly incurious about the sudden interest coming her way from a criminal mastermind old enough to be … her father.
So far, at least, the spotty "Blacklist" shows no intention of letting Agent Keen live up to her name.
— "The Blacklist" airs Monday on NBC at 10 p.m. EST.

Construction equipment rumbles outside, and Amy Shook lies on her back, her head and knees slightly elevated and tiny needles poking out of her ears and forehead, the backs of her hands, the tops of her feet and the crown of her head.She could not be more calm. Really, she couldn't be. She's mother to a 1-year-old and a 4-year-old, and her husband, a train engineer, often works out of town. "This is more relaxation than I get at home already," she said, even before her acupuncturist, Rebekah Giangreco, inserted the first needle during her session last week. Shook, 37, who's suffered debilitating migraines since suffering a head injury 15 years ago, credits both the alone time and the needles for cutting their number from five to eight a month to two or three. Her migraines last as long as 12 hours and feel like "my brain is going to explode," so that's life-changing. Shook is not alone as someone who found unexpected relief in acupuncture, especially among women, as its use has become more mainstream -- and as studies stack up touting its potential to relieve pain and problems related to women's reproductive systems. A recent review of 29 studies of acupuncture and pain relief found that it worked better than usual pain treatment and a little better than fake acupuncture, which mimicked the procedure but either didn't pierce the skin or didn't use acupuncture points on the body. That analysis, published last month in Archives of Internal Medicine, examined raw data from original studies involving nearly 18,000 people. While it's used by millions of people, among questions surrounding acupuncture is whether it's merely an "elaborate placebo," according to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the National Institutes for Health, which paid for the analysis. While the difference was small, patients who'd received real acupuncture reported better pain relief than those who'd received fake versions, showing that acupuncture is more than placebo, the authors said. Other recent studies have found acupuncture to be effective against problems specific to women, including hot flashes and other symptoms related to menopause, irregular periods and infertility, and pain related to treatment of breast cancer. None of that comes as a surprise to acupuncturists, who cite the practice's ancient roots in Chinese medicine. But the research does make others more aware of its potential benefits, Spokane Valley acupuncturist Coleen Smith said. "The studies are helping people understand that there's something to acupuncture and it's not just an ancient Chinese secret," said Smith, whose practice, Point of Origin, is on East Broadway Avenue. The World Health Organization's acknowledgement that acupuncture is an effective treatment for a host of ailments helps, too, she said, opening physicians' eyes to acupuncture's value. The WHO's list of conditions for which acupuncture has been proven to be effective includes induction of labor and morning sickness. It lists infertility in women, labor pain, lactation problems and premenstrual syndrome as conditions for which acupuncture has been shown to be therapeutic but that need more proof. Women represent 70 percent to 80 percent of Giangreco's clients at New Moon Family Wellness Center on South Cowley Avenue. Of those, about half are there with problems related to their reproductive systems -- trouble conceiving, irregular periods, severe menstrual pain. The other half mostly report other pain -- headaches, backaches -- "gut issues" or anxiety. The idea of being able to offer drug-free, surgery-free alternative treatments to women was part of acupuncture's appeal for Giangreco, she said. "Growing up, if I had a problem with menstrual pain or menstrual irregularity or any of the other female problems, my options were Motrin or hormones or surgery," she said. "Those are your options as women ... and those aren't really good options. Those are symptom control." Other patients have included women who tried other routes to have a baby, including fertility drugs and in vitro fertilization. Doctors could find no blockages in their reproductive systems, and their hormone levels seemed right, but they weren't getting pregnant. "It's very rare, but I've had a handful of women in my practice who've been trying to conceive for anywhere from nine months to three years, and with two treatments, the next cycle they're pregnant," Giangreco said. Smith said about 70 percent of her patients are women, including those trying to get pregnant and those suffering some effects of pregnancy: morning sickness, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome. Acupuncture is one piece of a body of medicine called East Asian medicine, which also includes Chinese herbal medicine and dietary and exercise recommendations, according to the Washington East Asian Medicine Association. The association and others worked to create legislation signed by Gov. Chris Gregoire in 2010 to update the statute governing acupuncture to include other East Asian practices, too. At the heart of acupuncture is the concept of chi, or energy that flows through rivers in the body called meridians that come to the surface of the body and then connect to specific organs and glands. "Energy is everything," Giangreco said. When chi gets blocked by various stresses, it can't nourish those body parts, which leads to pain and illness, tiredness, sluggish digestion and cold feelings. During a typical treatment, acupuncturists insert as many as 20 needles at specific points on the body, depending on the patient's problems, to correct the flow of chi. "You're giving it messages about increasing circulation and reducing inflammation and improving the flow of energy, and you're not hitting it over the head with a pharmaceutical that's tackling the symptom but not the core problem," Giangreco said. While the energy is invisible and acupuncturists aren't sure exactly how the needles send those messages, they do track measurable signs and symptoms reported by their patients. Maybe they're sleeping better, Smith said. Maybe someone with persistently cold feet feels warmer or someone with menstrual problems suffered no monthly facial breakouts for the first time. Shook, the mother with the migraines, said she doesn't necessarily understand what the back of her hand has to do with the pain in her head. Before her first acupuncture treatment, she worried that it would be painful or a waste of her time. In agony, she was willing to try. "I absolutely could not believe it. The migraine went away in 10 minutes," Shook said. "I have never experienced anything that helped me that quickly or that completely." (c)2012 The Spokesman-Review (Spokane, Wash.)

WALTHAM, Mass.- On Saturday, the Brandeis University volleyball team fell during a tri-match to the Emmanuel Saints and Colby-Sawyer Chargers. The Judges fell to 6-8 on the season while the Saints went to 7-8 and the Chargers improved to 8-4.
In their first match of the day, the Judges struggled to get their offense going against the Saints. Brandeis lost the first two sets 25-20 and 25-19 respectively while committing more errors than kills in both sets. The Judges rebounded in a big way in the third set. Brandeis was excellent with 14 kills to just two errors and a .500 attacking percentage as they took the set 25-13. Unfortunately, Emmanuel rebounded in the fourth with a 25-14 win to take the match three sets to one.
Brandeis was led by junior outside hitter Liz Hood (Albuquerque, N.M./ Albuquerque Acad.) who recorded 18 kills. Junior libero Elsie Bernaiche (Plantsville, Conn./ Southington) had a match-high 20 digs while sophomore setter Maggie Swenson (East Lyme, Conn./ East Lyme) had 34 assists.
The Saints featured two players with double-digit kills as sophomore middle hitter Brittany Tutalo (Johnston, R.I./ Saint Mary Academy) led the squad with 12 and rookie middle hitter Kaitlyn Atkinson (Brookline, N.H./ Hollis-Brookline) was just behind her with 11. Junior libero Cara Callahan (Medway, Mass./ Medway) and sophomore setter Shannon Dudley (Morro Bay, Calif./ Mission College Prep) each recorded 12 digs while Dudley also had a match-high 35 assists.
In the final match of the day, Brandeis had another rough outing as they were unable to notch more than 10 kills in any of the three sets. Colby-Sawyer featured a strong attack from seniors Emilee McBride (Strafford, N.H.) and Courtney O'Hara (Mystic, Conn.) at the net. The veteran heavy team won the first set 25-18 as the Judges committed 10 errors to six kills. In the second set, the two teams were locked in a see-saw affair that led to a 23-23 tie but the Chargers were able to win the final two points and take a 25-23 victory. In the third set, Colby-Sawyer jumped out to a 22-12 lead and held on for a 25-16 win and the sweep.
The Judges were led by Hood with 11 kills who recorded double-digit kills for the fourth consecutive match. Bernaiche had a match-high 13 digs while Swenson set Brandeis up with 19 assists.
The Chargers were led by the duo of McBride and O'Hara who each had 10 kills. Junior defensive specialist Sarah Hannon (Pocasset, Mass.) recorded 12 digs while senior libero Ally Le-Bruno (Medfield, Mass.) joined her in double-digits with 11. Sophomore setter Laura Smolinski (Hebron, Conn.) had 35 assists for the match.
Brandeis returns to action on Tuesday, September 24th at Simmons College with a 7:00 p.m. match.

Achondrogenesis is a rare type of growth hormone deficiency in which there is a defect in the development of bone and cartilage.
Achondrogenesis is inherited, which means it is passed down through families.
Some types are known to be recessive, meaning both parents carry the defective gene and the chance for a subsequent child to be affected is about 25%.
X-rays show bone problems associated with the condition.
There is no current therapy. Talk to your doctor about care decisions.
Genetic counseling may be appropriate.
The outcome is generally very poor. Many infants with achondrogenesis are stillborn or die shortly after birth because of breathing problems related to the abnormally small chest.
This condition is often fatal early in life.
This condition is often diagnosed on the first examination of an infant.

Panama City distinguishes itself from other Latin American cities with its modern city centre. But that doesn't mean the city is devoid of history. On the other side of town lies the old district Casco Viejo, which was founded in 1671. Packed with cathedrals, museums, restaurants and jazz clubs, Casco Viejo is one of the most charming neighbourhoods of Panama City.
Plaza de la Francia is the perfect starting place to explore Casco Viejo. From the old city square you can see both the bay and the city skyline. The square and the obelisk were built as a tribute to the French contribution to the Panama Canal and in particular to the workers who died during its construction. Many workers succumbed to yellow fever and malaria. It may seem morbid but the former dungeons make for an interesting visit. Today, these accommodate shops and restaurants.
The fish market El Mercado de Mariscos is an attraction in itself. Fresh shrimp, tuna, sea bream and octopus: here you will find the freshest products at great prices. You may also buy your fish downstairs in the market hall and then take it upstairs to the restaurant where the kitchen will cook it up into a delicious fresh meal. This is a popular destination for locals, so queues may be long. Order a dish of ceviche – raw fish marinated in lime juice – to enjoy while you wait.
The Iglesia de San Jose is one of the most beloved wedding destinations for Panamanians. Perhaps the history of the golden altar has something to do with this. It is said that in the 17th century the altar was moved to Casco Viejo from another church in Panama Viejo. A priest deliberately painted the altar black to keep pirate Henry Morgan from stealing this treasure from Panama City.
The Plaza Bolivar is home to a very unique restaurant: Ciao Pescao. The menu is mainly composed of 2 items: beer and ceviche. There are more than 12 different types of ceviche and the owner stocks more than 30 types of beer. Not a beer fan? You can also choose from 7 different mojitos prepared with local fruit.
The later it gets, the more lively Casco Viejo becomes, especially on weekends. To catch some great music there is no need to head into a club. Many places offer live music on Friday and Saturday nights, not only inside but also outside on the street. In the mood for some jazz? Be sure to visit the famous café-restaurant Las Bovedas. The venue is located inside the old city walls, a great backdrop for the excellent Panamanian jazz band that performs here every Friday night.

Charley Harper Octo Pool Purple box bag
by Charley Harper
$38.00 / Sold Out
This long box shaped project bag is perfect for a smaller knitting or crochet project. It's big enough to hold two balls of yarn and a sock or sleeve or a scarf WIP. Or use it as a lunch bag with plenty of room for a beverage, a sammy and some fruit.
It measures approximately 8" x 4" and is 4" tall with the zipper closing towards the handle so you can knit and walk with no fear of your project falling out. I double stitch all the handles to the bag so they will stand up to all kinds of jostling, tugging, and weight. I knit while commuting and I know how important that can be!
The bag is sewn from a 100% organic cotton printed canvas reinforced with a sturdy interfacing and matched with a coordinating zipper. The YKK nylon coil zipper is specially selected to prevent yarn from snagging while you're knitting on the go. The inside seams are all professionally finished with a tidy overlocked edge. I take a lot of pride in everything I sew, so you can always rest assured that you'll get straight seams and well executed finishing details. The placement of the print will vary from pouch to pouch ensuring you'll get a bag unlike anybody else's.
All my project bags are produced in my little studio in Holyoke, MA, with American made notions and fabrics wherever possible.

Trust us – we know how frustrating it can be to take pictures with your digital camera that turn out to be washed out due to an inappropriate amount of flash. Otherwise, there isn't enough light and images end up looking too dim. CameraBright, Inc. aims to solve this dilemma with their CameraBright X1 product line. Basically, the units are composed of a series of bright white LED's which can be mounted to just about any digital cameras tripod port. The goal here is to fill the image subject with white light, aiding the flash of the camera, and creating a more natural looking image. The CameraBright X1 comes in three different flavors – Original for everyday use, Warm White for portraits or video, and an Extended Range model for objects that are farther away or just require a bit more light.

Nintendo Revolution Rumors
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games,
Once the sole giant of the home video game industry, Nintendo is now making moves to stay in the game. With Xbox 2 and Playstation 3 possibly due out within the next year and a half, Nintendo is betting on a revolutionary new approach instead of trying to muscle the next generation consoles with power. Nintendo's next console is internally code named N5, rumored to be have been Gamecube 2 and Nintendo 21 with the majority of us believing it will be called the Nintendo Revolution. On a new note, it has been reported that the Revolution may not be a successor to the Gamecube as Nintendo has claimed that support and software for the Gamecube will still be available after the Revolution launch. Could this be Nintendo's strategy to combat the PS3? Would having the established Gamecube and the new Revolution simultaneously available somehow bring Nintendo closer to the front of the pack? Nintendo's R&D department has increased spending approx. 39% ($209 million) over last year.
Here's a list of current rumored info about the Revolution:
- Internal hard drive - The Revolution will have a two-sided, 8mm disk with a 5.4 GB capacity.
- Powered by two IBM central processors - code named "Broadway"
- ATI Graphics card code named "Hollywood"
- Online Gaming support
- No DS connectivity but will link up with Nintendo's next handheld
- Some game studios already have pre-dev kits
- Apparently work has already begun on three of the launch titles - A Mario title , Zelda and Super Smash Bros.
- Will use IEEE protocol to act as a wireless hub in the home. This will allow interaction with other Revolutions in the area.
- Play games on your TV or computer monitor
The word is that the Revolution controllers won't feature our trusty D-pad and buttons. Motion and tilt-sensing gyroscopes will be used in the controllers. Additionally these controllers will feature pressure sensitive "buttons" that will respond to rubbing and other stimuli. Other rumors are the possibility of a touchpad like the DS or an evolved trackball controller. The new controllers will not be wireless but the Revolution will have four controller ports just like the Gamecube. Nintendo also has a patent on a technology dealing with "fixation points". Nintendo's new technology will create a frame and a virtual frame. The idea is basically that designated objects that have priority in the game space will always be featured prominently despite the line of site. This happens when the object moves into the virtual frame. The image will be "deformed" to always include designated objects and provide greater detail and depth of field without having to zoom, or alter camera angles abruptly. Though this is all speculation, it would seem this new feature would be relatively transparent to the user. It would simply facilitate a clearer, and overall more enjoyable, visual experience for gamers. We shall soon see. Toyoda Ken, Nintendo of Japan PR Office Manager, told the Japanese publication ITmedia, "We are still looking at E3 as a launching pad for the 'Revolution' platform, and are deliberating if we should feature the actual console, visuals, or simply illustrate the concept behind it."

How To Copy Music Legally
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Music,
CNet has posted a good read on what you can and cannot legally do with the music that you purchase online or in-store. It was surprising to me that if you want to back up to cassettes, the Audio Home Recording Act (AHRA) of 1992 makes an explicit exemption for cassette backups. But it doesn't apply to backing up your collection to a computer. Which means, if you rip your collection to your computer and then upload to any of the various portable music players or backup to a CD you are performing an illegal copyright act. This is under the strictest interpretation of U.S. copyright law. There are exceptions such as iTunes, which encourages you to make as many custom CDs as you'd like - as long as the playlist changes.

Google Gmail Upgraded To 2GB - Plus Google Gulp!
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Corporate News, Internet,
In celebration of one year of service, Google plans to raise the capacity of its popular email service to 2GB. If 1GB was big enough then this is almost ridiculous, but it doesn't stop there. After the company finishes upgrading all the users to 2GB it will be slowly adding more space. Google has stated that a few users have actually been close to reaching the 1GB cap and the company wants to stick to their motto of not deleting a single email. Google also took the opportunity to state that their email service will remain in the beta phase for now and that plans for new features could hold back an official release. If Yahoo!, MSN, and the rest had a hard enough time trying to keep up with free 1GB email offering, looks like they are they really have their work cut out for them now. Anybody want a Gmail invite? Click here.
On a side note, check out the Google Gulp! gag page.
(Thanks Bayyar & DrSeth!)

3.1 earthquake in Hawthorne
No damage was reported from a 3.1 magnitude earthquake that occurred 10 miles east of Hawthorne along Highway 95 at 8:35 a.m. Easter Sunday.
The earthquake is located where the highway climbs out of the Walker Lake valley, according to the Nevada Seismological Laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno.
It was preceded by a smaller, 1.1 magnitude, earthquake a short distance northeast at 7:11 a.m.
The U.S. Geological Survey Web site included only one report that someone felt the earthquake.
Nevada is third after Alaska and California for earthquake activity in the U.S. While the largest, the Hawthorne earthquake was one of a dozen reported by the seismology lab in 24 hours, including two just east of Stead.
According to Western Nevada College geology Professor Winnie Kortemeier will present a free slide-lecture presentation on earthquakes on 7 p.m. Friday as part of WNC Earth Week activities.
Kortemeier will focus her remarks on earthquakes in our area. "Nevada is one of the most tectonically active states in the U.S.," she said. She will discuss why this part of the state is so active, "and what you can do to protect yourself in your home if a damaging earthquake should occur."
The event will be at the WNC Carson City campus, 2201 West College Parkway, in Marlette Hall, Cedar Building.

An imageboard or image board is a type of Internet forum which operates mostly via posting images. The first imageboards were created in Japan, and inspired the creation of a number of English language imageboards. They are based on the textboard concept.
Imageboards, similar to bulletin board systems, are used for discussions of a variety of topics. The primary focus of imageboards, however, is directed away from text posts, and is instead placed on picture posts. The two share many of the same structures, including separate forums for separate topics, as well as similar audiences. Imageboards are much more transitory with content—on some boards (especially highly trafficked ones), the thread deletion time can be as little as 10 minutes. In Japan, where imageboards are more common, topics will vary widely, ranging from trains to current news. The most popular English language imageboard, 4chan, similarly has a large variety of topics.
Imageboards are also different from online galleries in that most of the works posted are not made by the poster, but instead are taken from other online sources: galleries, other imageboards, and edited pictures.
Most imageboards and 2channel-style discussion boards allow (and encourage) anonymous posting and use a system of tripcodes instead of registration. A tripcode is the hashed result of a password that allows one's identity to be recognized without storing any data about users. Entering a particular password will let one "sign" one's posts with the tripcode generated from that password, while trying to take another user's tripcode and compute their password from it (for instance, to make posts that appear to come from a particular person) is computationally difficult. For those who want a custom tripcode, however, there are custom tripcode generators (which are technically tripcode crackers) available, such as Meriken's Tripcode Engine[1] and MTY_CL.[2] In general, anonymity is considered to be one of the advantages of an imageboard, and some boards have from time to time removed the ability to post with a name altogether (known as "forced anonymous/anonymity").
There are two primary types of imageboard software packages in widespread use: linearly directed imageboards modeled closely after Futaba Channel (in which content is posted through hierarchical subsections of topical interest, usually denoted by a forward slash such as "/f" for female), and nonlinear imageboards modeled after Danbooru (usually indicated by the usage of controlled folksonomic vocabulary for topical tagging and search).
Futaba Channel clones
There are currently several Futaba-based imageboard software packages in widespread use: Futallaby, Wakaba, Kusaba X.
Futallaby is a PHP script based on the Futaba script from Futaba Channel. Although the Futallaby source is still freely available at 1chan,[3] it is no longer in development, and the download page recommends using Wakaba instead, stating that "Wakaba can do everything Futallaby does and so much more." Futallaby started as a translation of Futaba, later retooled to support XHTML and customizable CSS styles. It is mostly notable for being the first open source English imageboard script.
Wakaba is a Perl imageboard script with a SQL backend to store thread information.[4] It is designed to be more efficient and cleanly written than other scripts that are available, while preserving the same kind of functionality. Wakaba is one of the most popular western imageboard software scripts, used most notably by iichan (Wakachan).[5] Because of its focus on bare-bones functionality, Wakaba lacks many of the modern amenities provided by 4chan's Yotsuba,[6] and newer imageboard scripts. A few users have attempted to remedy this by forking the original project and adding in features they consider beneficial. Two FOSS examples of this are frankusr's Wakaba fork,[7] and the user experience focused Glaukaba.[8]
Kusaba was a modular imageboard software written in PHP, which used MySQL.[9] The creator has discontinued the project, however, and recommends TinyIB instead.
Kusaba X is a continuation of Kusaba. Like Kusaba, Kusaba X is written in PHP, and is designed with modularity in mind. It requires a MySQL or SQLite database to run. Kusaba and its derivatives were at one time some of the most popular imageboard solutions. Kusaba X has since fallen out of active development, and has not been updated since July 2011.
Tinyboard is a PHP based imageboard script with a MySQL backend.[10] It was eventually discontinued and forked into vichan[11], which itself was forked into infinity[12] and later infinity was forked into OpenIB.[13] Tinyboard (and its forks) notably feature extensibility with JavaScript[14] and the infinity and OpenIB forks include user-submitted board creation.[15]
Danbooru-style boards
Usually referred to as a "booru" (plural "boorus"). Unlike Futaba-inspired imageboard software packages, Danbooru and derivatives aim for a non-hierarchical semantic structure in which users are able to post content and add tags, annotations, translations, and comments.
There exist a number of different Danbooru-style imageboards, both those with shared source code and those that are not released for others to use. The two main Danbooru derivatives are Gelbooru and MyImouto.
|Programmed in
|Ruby on Rails
|Uses PostgreSQL.[16]
|Shimmie 2
|Uses MySQL by default (as part of LAMP), can also use PostgreSQL.
|naranai 1.3.x
|Uses MySQL. Built to replace Danbooru because author considered Ruby unsuitable.[17]
|Uses PostgreSQL.
|Ruby on Rails
|Uses PostgreSQL.
|Uses MySQL. PHP port of Moebooru. Uses a custom Ruby-on-Rails-like framework.[18]
|Uses MySQL. Modified and re-designed port of MyImouto for the Sequenzia Project.[19] Some code is specialised for the Sequenzia Project and AC Research.[20]
|Gelbooru 0.2.x
|Uses MySQL. Gelbooru 0.1.x is open source but 0.2.x currently is not.
|(temporarily down due to host server issues) (linked removed as it leads to a phishing scam)
|Ruby on Rails
|Uses PostgreSQL, used to use MongoDB. "The 'booru-on-rails' project that powers Derpibooru is planned to be released to the public once the debugging is complete."
Futaba Channel
Futaba Channel (ふたば☆ちゃんねる), or "Futaba" for short, is a popular, anonymous BBS and imageboard system based in Japan. Its boards usually do not distinguish between not safe for work and clean content, but there is a strict barrier between two-dimensional (drawn) and three-dimensional (computer graphics (CG) and photographic) pictures that is heavily enforced and debated.[21]
4chan is an English language imageboard based on the Japanese imageboard Futaba Channel. This imageboard is based primarily upon the posting of pictures (generally related to a wide variety of topics, from anime and popular culture to politics and sports) and their discussion. The Guardian describes it as "at once brilliant, ridiculous and alarming."[22]
The site and its userbase have received attention from the media for a number of reasons, including attacks against Hal Turner on his Internet shows,[23] distributed denial-of-service attacks against eBaum's World,[24][25] taking part in Project Chanology,[26] and multiple cases of anti-animal abuse reports.[27]
Many Internet memes have originated there, including lolcats,[28][29][30] rickrolling and Pedobear.
8chan (or Infinitechan) is a primarily English language imageboard, although it has sub-boards dedicated to other languages. Just like 4chan, 8chan is based on posting pictures and discussion anonymously, but unlike 4chan, 8chan lets its users decide what they want to discuss by allowing any user to create their own board dedicated to any topic, a concept first made popular by news bulletin boards like Reddit. 8chan also claims to have a strong dedication to freedom of speech and allows all content—so long as the discussion and board creation abides by United States law.[31] However, local moderators enforce the rules of their own boards and may delete posts as they see fit. It is currently partnered with the Japanese textboard 2channel.
One of the imageboards that were created shortly after the collapse[32] of 2ch.ru, then the largest Russian-speaking imageboard, on 17 January 2009. Unlike the others it copied the original layout thoroughly and was actively advertised and soon surpassed the original in popularity.[33] At the moment, the number of posts in /b/ exceeds 150 million.[34] It is the third imageboard in the world by the number of messages in /b/.[35]
An English-language imageboard based on cannabis culture[36] which was created on April 4, 2005 by Kirtaner Aster. The name is a reference to the larger 4chan[37] and the code term 420 of the cannabis subculture. Its boards include various drug-specific boards,[36] as well as a board featuring a chatterbot.[38]
Hispachan was launched in November 2012[39] as a global imageboard for all Spanish-speaking countries. Vice Magazine describes it as "a site for completely anonymous Spanish-language discussion that has proven popular among hackers since its launch in 2012".[40]
In January 2017 a shooting in a school in Monterrey (Mexico) was previously announced on Hispachan.[41]
A primarily German-language imageboard that was founded in 2007.[42] The name is an allusion to the ethnophaulism Kraut for Germans. In 2009, after the Winnenden school shooting, the Interior Minister of Baden-Württemberg cited a post on the imageboard in a press conference that appeared to forewarn of the shooting, but was later found to be fake.[43][44][45] The site also features a popular English language board, /int/, which is also the origin of the Polandball internet phenomenon.
Ylilauta is a Finnish-language imageboard that was founded in 2011 with the joining of the two most popular Finnish imageboards, Kotilauta and Lauta.net. It is the origin of Spurdo Spärde.
Wizardchan is an imageboard primarily dedicated to virgin culture and topics including anime, hobbies, and depression. Users often discuss suicide or self-harm, and a controversy emerged in the board's community about whether to refer users to suicide prevention hotlines.[46]
lainchan is an imageboard primarily dedicated to cyberpunk culture and topics including programming, technology, dream interpretation and drug use. The name derives from the anime television series Serial Experiments Lain and much of the site's imagery contains the titular character, Lain.[47]
Karachan is the largest Polish imageboard at 16 million posts, founded in 2010. Karachan has received attention from the Polish media after many trolling actions targeting Polish politicians, journalists and the Pope John Paul II. Its name comes from the Polish word karaczan, which means a cockroach, an insect that is used as Karachan's logo.[48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56]
Mewch is an adult oriented imageboard founded in 2017. Mewch was created for students on college campuses. The site is aimed to be a mature medium of discussion.[57] Mewch is also featured on omodeling and theporndude's listing of chan boards. "Pornographic Chan Boards". theporndude.com. and "best cam sites". omodeling.com. Retrieved 2018-05-19.

Now, the following link got emailed: http://www.myssite.com/folder/activa...5098477c95c23d
Note the account activation code that got generated by sha1: 22d200f8670dbdb3e253a90eee5098477c95c23d
But in my mysql db, in the "account_activation_code" column, I only see: "22". The rest of the activation code is missing. Why is that ? The column is set to BigInt. Is not that enough to house the Sha1 generated code ? What is your suggestion ?
I changed mysql column type to VARCHAR(40) and then VARCHAR(160) and even to BINARY(40) but no luck.
The sha1 generates the account activation code to 40 digits in the account activation link that gets emailed to the user but the account_activation_code mysql column does not hold that 40 digit value. Only holds the first 2 or 3 digits. What is wrong ?
Using php 5.
Thank You

Multicultural Programs
African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans and Native Americans develop diabetes at much higher rates than the general population. Learning to manage a disease like diabetes is hard enough. But if your primary language is not English or you come from a different culture, you face even greater hurdles to getting good care.
At Joslin Clinic, we want to make sure that all people with pre-diabetes or diabetes get high-quality healthcare and education. As part of two initiatives we have launched—the Latino Diabetes Initiative and the Asian American Diabetes Initiative—we offer culturally-specific diabetes clinics staffed by bilingual healthcare providers. By providing services and resources in a patient's native language and cultural context, we aim to build trust, confidence and self-care skills. We also offer services to the African American community.
Latino Diabetes Initiative and the Latino Clinic
Latinos are the fastest growing and largest minority group in the United States and their risk of developing diabetes is 1.5 times greater than non-Latino white Americans. In addition, they also have a greater chance of developing complications.
The Latino Clinic team - endocrinologist, nurse practitioner, dietitian and psychology fellow - all speak Spanish and understand the cultural needs of this population. We provide one-on-one appointments, group education classes, support groups, and a diabetes and pregnancy clinic.
Asian American Diabetes Initiative and the Asian Clinic
Though Asian Americans tend to be less obese (a risk factor for diabetes), they are almost twice as likely to develop type 2 diabetes than Caucasian Americans. The risk is much higher for Asians living in America than for those living in Asia (related to the high-fat, high-calorie Western diet). The Asian Clinic offers diabetes care through a team of three endocrinologists, a nurse practitioner, an ophthalmologist, an optometrist, a registered dietitian and a care ambassador. We provide one-on-one appointments with clinicians and a dietitian who are culturally sensitive to the Asian population.
For more informaton, visit the website of the Asian American Diabetes Initiative.
Black Diabetes Initiative
The Black Diabetes Initiative (BDI), established in 2011 and led by Eiuche Okeke M.D., is a customized approach for Blacks living with diabetes.
This initiative builds upon the tenets of diabetes care established by Elliott P. Joslin, M.D. in the early 1900s, which brought care and education into the community through "wandering nurses." Similarly, the BDI takes Joslin's multi-disciplinary model of care and education outside the walls of Joslin.
As a community-based model for Blacks living with diabetes, the BDI addresses the health complications that are prevalent among Black Americans and provides socially competent diabetes treatment and prevention programs -- including education, outreach, and clinical care -- to empower all Blacks to achieve better health results.

Tell us about your role at Accenture.
I lead retail technology strategy in the UK, where I develop IT strategies for retail organizations. In the past three years, our group has been focused on digital transformation and how it impacts the technology a retailer needs. We address the investment required in a three- to five-year horizon, and the roadmap to deliver digital transformation.
How long have you been working in Retail?
I've spent more than 15 years in retail, consumer goods and services, and life sciences. The overlap between the industries provides an interesting perspective, especially as it relates to the consumer and the emergence of technology trends such as digital, and before that, cloud. Retailers have been impacted by digital a couple of years ahead of other industries, and that impact has affected other parts of the business, such as supply chain and commercial functions. Technology has also introduced new competitive threats, such as manufacturers selling direct to consumers, or consumers selling to consumers. Retailers must understand and react to these changes.
You co-authored the Accenture Retail Technology Vision this year. What helped to fuel your ideas for the piece?
A lot of the content stems directly from work we are doing with retailers, either helping to define their technology vision and strategy, or as part of delivery work where Accenture is involved in the implementation of solutions. Read Accenture's Retail Technology Vision here.
What is your favorite example in the piece?
I like the example of a pour-over coffeemaker. This product detects when you are running low on your favorite coffee, and it sends supplies to your home before you run out. It is exciting to consider the possibilities of a device ordering for itself. Not long ago, you had to leave your house for the majority of retail activities. The Internet lowered a barrier and made it easier to purchase without leaving the home. It also scaled the proposition to a much wider audience.
Are you noticing trends evolving at a different pace across geographies?
Some trends are surfacing more in specific countries or regions. For instance, retailers in North America have been successful in building out platform ecosystems, in part, due to the level of technology penetration amongst customers and large retail organizations investing in leading IT. In the UK, where I am based, grocers have been very successful with online. About 30 percent of grocery shoppers here are shopping online. In the United States, the online grocery market is half the size.
Let's take off your work hat. What would you, as a consumer, like to see advance in the next five years?
I'd like to see continued improvement to the customer experience. There are so many opportunities for technology to be used to revolutionize how we interact with organizations—but it should be used to not only drive benefits for the retailer, but for the customer. The retailers where I would definitely shop again are the ones where the customer experience has been the differentiator.
What is your most memorable "non-seamless" shopping experience in the past year?
The most frustrating example happened this week. There is an organization where I am a customer, it's not primarily a retailer, but it has a retail offering. Its consumer website goes down nightly for maintenance. I tried to log in the next morning when it was back online, to find my account had been locked. I sent a request to unlock it, and I am still waiting. If this was a pure retailer who couldn't rely on some other competitor barrier to entry, I am sure they would be out of business right now!
As a shopper, what's your biggest pet peeve?
At the moment, it is about the amount of data that I need to provide to retailers. Often, I cannot see the direct relevance to my customer journey, or benefit for me. If you ask a shopper for data, be clear why you want it. Is it required, will it provide some value to them?
What about technology is considered exciting and cool in your household?
I have two young children, and their view of "normal" is so different from what was normal just five or ten years ago. Their curiosity about anything is fueled by being able to, no matter where you are or what time it is, look up a definition, find a photo or something, watch a video of whatever you could possibly want to.
Is there anything that people would be surprised to learn about you?
Prior to joining Accenture, I worked as a pyro technician for several years, building and launching fireworks. The largest display was to a crowd of 300,000 people in New Zealand.

My advice to both Minuteman and Abu Mujahid...
This thread is about so called Wahhabism and Ibn Abdul Wahhab Najdi. Let's not deviate from topic. Its better to open a new thread on whether Quran and Sunnah is same or different.

I didn't forget to answer your questions. Just got busy with another fellow. I was wondering whether you were shocked by the claims of this psuedo convert (Andulus) about Sh. Muhammad Ibnu Abdulwahab. He takes the banner of all liberals plus Kabbani spell. I like the Kabbani part.

Abu Mujahid, I do not agree with you. Can you not differentiate between what the prophet did and what he said. I know that in the books of Hadith there are described some of the acts (practice) of the holy prophet s.a.w.s. I know that. But surely he was not talking all the time to all the people. Only at special time when the need arose, he gave some advice. That only some people heard. They conveyed to only few people and so on.
That conveyance of the said words (I call Hadith) was rather limited. But the works that he did were in front of every one and large number of people (hundred of thousands) had adopted it by seeing it and by seeing the people doing it. That was carried out from generation to generation. Even though there was no book of Hadith at that time.
Also, not everbody could read the books.
I am sorry to say that you Abu Mujahid are again mixing the Hadith with the Sunnah and Sunnah with the Hadith. You are writing them together as Hadith/Sunnah. I do not mind but if these two things are different, and they are different, then could you please give some different name to each of them so that we can discuss the matter further.
By Hadith I understand the books of Hadith. That is all. I do not take them as the practice (Sunnah) of the holy prophet. I see that every one was praying and observing the fast in ramadhan and doing Hajj for many years even though none of these books existed.
Please name the two important means of guidance from the prophet s.a.w.s. that I have pointed out. What name would you give them. Do not give one name because they are two different things, even though in harmony.
The other friend (Abuzaid) should please have patience because this is an important matter at the bottom of this abdul Wahhab business too. Thanks.

If one thinks that pople learnt the mode of prayers from the books of Hadith then he is mistaken. Prayers were being performed all the time from the very first day even when no book of Hadith was written.
It only happened that the collectors of the Hadith found it good to record the reports about the manner of the prayers too in the books of Hadith. That was all, good and useful, as a record that the prayer was in fact being performed as it was done by the prophet himself and the Wudhu was also being done as he did it. That was as a further proof of the method. It was notto teach the people how to do Wudhu.
I will come back to this if any one will see the points. I see Hadith only as a support to the Quran and the Practice (Sunnah) of the holy prophet s.a.w.s. and I see the Hadith as a servant to the Quran and Sunnah.

Bismillah irrahman irrahim
Assalamu alaykum
Brother hadith and sunnah can be used interchangeably as brother has mentioned. Hadith books are not just collection of what Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wassalam was saying, it also has description of acts he was performing and things which he allowed and so forth. I will give you an example, it is a known sunnah that Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wassalam used to wash his limbs three times in wudu and also start with right side. Now in a hadith it is going to be quoted from a person who got it from a sahabi himself or some one who heard it from the sahabi that i saw Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wassalam starting his wudu from right, washing three time........
Sunnah not only includes his acts but what he was saying and what he was permitting that was done infront of him and same is the description for a hadith. Reason for hadith books coming so much later is first there were people who would travel miles to learn a single hadith of Prophet and normal transmission was person to person. Then with few bad things happening in Ummah, there were some doubtfull material that was associated to Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wassalam. Then scholars of the time took it upon themselves to check the credibility of each transmitter and number of transmissions and give it a ranking according to that. This was to make things easy for later generation as how can people know fourteen hundered years later who was a pious truthful person and who was not.
So the most reliable sunnah are what are found in the hadith books. Now as you say that Islamic law is derived from Holy Qur'an and Sunnah which is true. The sunnah from where a law is derived of hudud come from what are called mutawatir ahadith (can some one correct me if i am wrong). Mutawatir is a category where there were so many trnsmission of an incident or saying that there is no denying that it happened/was said as there is no way that many people would have collaberated to forge a lie.
Hopefully this answers your question.
Say: (O Muhammad) If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults, and Allah is Forgiving, MercifuL

text: I am having trouble finding both rye and ww flour of a sufficiently fine mill. I'm considering buying a mill for this purpose. Does anyone know if the KitchenAid attachment is sufficient? The information on their web-site is a bit vague on this point. For stand alone mills, how much do they tend to weigh and what sort of price are they? I am having no luck finding one for domestic use in Australia and may need to order from the States.

USA Swimming National Team member BJ Johnson (Seattle, Wash.) will headline the 2013 Pacific Swimming Diversity Camp at the Martin Luther King Pool beginning at 8:30 a.m. PT on Saturday in San Francisco.
"I'm honored and excited to have the opportunity to give back to the swimming community and promote diversity within our sport," Johnson said. "I believe that the more vibrant and diverse swimming becomes, the more we can learn from each other both as athletes and people."
The all-day camp will feature several swimming sessions for campers age 11-16. There will be a dry-land circuit, technique videos and an educational talk. Johnson will lead one of the in-water workouts focusing on individual medley stroke and speed techniques. He will also speak about his swimming experience as a child before ending his appearance with a photograph and autograph session.
"I owe a lot of where I am today to a wide range of mentors who inspired me to continue swimming," said Johnson. "I'm looking forward to the opportunity to motivate the next generation of USA Swimming athletes."
The goal of the diversity camp is to spread the mentality that elite level swimming can happen in any pool, by anyone who wants to make it happen.
The event will end at 5 p.m. PT and is open to the media.

Research | News
As you might expect, when people can maintain their anonymity in online forums, they're more likely to post uncivil comments. That's also the conclusion of a researcher at the University of Houston. Assistant Professor Arthur Santana, part of the School of Communication, found a significant correlation between anonymity and civility.
His study, "Virtuous or Vitriolic: The Effect of Anonymity on Civility in Online Newspaper Reader Comment Boards," published last year, examined the "tone" of thousands of online comments posted to online newspaper articles. More than half of the anonymous messages — 53 percent — contained language that could be considered vulgar, racist, profane, or hateful. Where people had to log in using their actual identities before posting, only 29 percent of comments were found to be uncivil.
In fact, Santana found that non-anonymous commenters were almost three times as likely to post civil comments as anonymous ones — 44 percent vs. 15 percent.
"In short, when anonymity was removed, civility prevailed," Santana said.
Santana is no stranger to the newspaper business. He spent 14 years as a reporter and editor in newsrooms including the San Antonio Express-News, the Seattle Times, and the Washington Post. All require going through a registration process before the user is allowed to make comments on stories.
Newspapers are increasingly moving to a model in which anonymous commenting is no longer allowed. Santana reported that 49 percent of the 137 largest newspapers published in the United States have disallowed anonymity in their commenting forums; 42 percent allow anonymity; and 9 percent don't have forums.
Santana also studied whether "racialized" topics in articles drew more vitriol than non-racialized ones. He found that comments following the former were significantly more likely to be uncivil.
Although Santana acknowledged that anonymity has "a long history in journalism dating back to the beginning of U.S. newspapers," when writers such as Benjamin Franklin used pseudonyms to press their positions, "Incivility serves as a barrier," he noted. "When even a small minority of people resort to hateful or even intimidating language, others are reluctant to join a conversation."
For that reason, he said, the findings of his research "should be of interest to those newspapers that allow anonymity and that have expressed frustration with rampant incivility and ad hominem attacks in their commenting forums, particularly those that follow sensitive news topics."

Caroma® Unveils New Eco-Friendly Booth at 2010 International Conference & Expo
Surrey, British Columbia – Caroma®, the worldwide leader in high efficiency dual-flush toilets for commercial and residential use, will unveil an eco-friendly booth at the Greenbuild 2010 International Conference & Expo, that not only meets, but exceeds industry standards. Greenbuild 2010 — presented by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and considered to be the world's largest annual conference & expo dedicated to green building— will be held in Chicago from Nov. 17-19. This year is the first year that the USGBC will impose its new Greenbuild Mandatory Exhibition Green Guidelines (GMEGG) — green standards that exhibitors must abide by to exhibit at the show.
Although Caroma's trade show booths already met many of the GMEGG requirements, Caroma welcomed the new guidelines and began preparing for Greenbuild 2010 months in advance. The new pop-up booth features Pionite® high-pressure laminate display boards, Evonik Cyro ACRYLITE® acrylic products, and PureBond® Panels with formaldehyde-free hardwood plywood technology. The new booth flooring is an EVA foam that is made from recycled material, and the pop-up displays are an eco-knit material that is made from recycled soda bottles. Although it's common for companies to dispose of a booth post-show, Caroma has made the eco-conscious decision to re-use their Greenbuild booth at all trade shows moving forward.
"As an innovative leader in sustainable technologies for more than 70 years, we took it upon ourselves to take our booth to the next 'green' level," said Derek Kirkpatrick, Caroma North American General Manager. "Caroma is proud that we not only met but exceeded the GMEGG's requirements; we feel it only solidifies our position as a leader in green building design."
Located at booth #1601, Caroma will have several products on display at this year's Greenbuild Expo, including: new pop-up displays from its Invisi™ Series II collection, the new Sydney Smart 305 1-Piece Water Closet, the new Somerton Smart 270 1-Piece Water Closet and the first Caroma low-flow showerhead – the Caroma Flow.

A snapshot of US troop commitment in Afghanistan
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. and British forces began launching airstrikes into Afghanistan on Oct. 7, 2001, in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks against America. The initial strikes were aimed at Taliban troops, training camps and air defenses. By early November there were about 1,300 U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Since then the U.S. force there has grown, reaching 100,000 in mid-2010 as President Barack Obama ordered additional troops sent in to quell escalating violence.
A snapshot look at the U.S. troop commitment to the war:

—December 2003: The U.S. ends the year with about 13,100 troops in Afghanistan.
—April 2004: U.S. troop numbers grow to 20,300 as the spring offensive looms and the U.S. builds up forces along the Afghan-Pakistan border and works to provide security for fledgling reconstruction projects.
—December 2006: U.S. force remains a bit more than 20,000, as attention has shifted to the escalating war in Iraq. Troops are concentrated in Taliban strongholds in the south and east, where fighting is fiercest.
—December 2007: U.S. forces climb to about 25,000 as Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen asserts that Iraq is the priority and the Afghanistan war is an "economy of force" operation.
—May 2009: U.S. troops levels surpass 50,000 as fighting intensifies and additional forces begin flowing in.
—December 2009: Troop level is more than 67,000; Obama orders 33,000 U.S. more troops to Afghanistan amid deteriorating security, escalating violence and troop deaths. Obama gives the Pentagon authority to deploy up to 102,000 to the war.
—August 2010: The additional troops are in, U.S. force size hits 100,000.
—May 2, 2011: Bin Laden is killed in Pakistan; U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan still hover around 100,000.
—June 22, 2011: Obama announces withdrawal plan.
—September 2012: Troop levels fall to 77,000, as the final surge troops prepare to leave Afghanistan.
—December 2013: There are about 46,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, as the drawdown continues.
—March 2014: Obama orders the military to develop options for a complete U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan because Afghan President Hamid Karzai refuses to sign a security agreement.
—May 2014: There are about 32,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
