Using Regular Expressions is a powerful and efficient way to find key pieces of text. This tutorial will explore the tools used to construct basic regular expressions, compatible with grep for Linux.
The period meta-character is a wildcard, matching any single character. Consider the following regular expressions. For example, the regular expression c.d will match ced, cdd, c8d, etc. The middle character can be anything. Note that the following strings are examples of what the regular expression will not consider a match: ceed, c45d, cddd. However, those strings would be matched by the new regular expression c..d. Now there are two periods, each acting as a wildcard for the particular spot in the string.
Asterisk, Plus, and Question Mark
These three meta-characters match strings based on the desired number of times the preceding regular expression appears.
The asterisk character matches 0+ occurrences of the preceding regular expression. An example would include fg*h, with g being evaluated by the wildcard. So fh, fgh,, fgggggh, etc., would all be matched by the regular expression. Note that ffffgh would not be considered a match, as the f isn't evaluated by the wildcard.
The plus character works similarly to the asterisk character, except that is matches at least 1 occurrence of the preceeding regular expression. So using the previous example, fg+h matches fgh, fgggggh, but not fh or ffffgh.
The question mark character matches 0 or 1 occurrence of the preceding regular expression. So in similar fashion as the asterisk and plus characters: fg?h will only match fh and fgh. Another example would be f.?h, which would match fh or anything matched by f.h.
Logical Or
The logical or meta-character works the same way as in traditional programming languages. It matches one or both of the regular expressions provided. The pipe character is used as the operator. An example would include: ab|cd, which would match regular expressions with either ab or cd or both. Also, note that the pipe symbol has special uses in both the Linux and Windows shells. Therefore, single quotes are required to enclose the regular expression in Linux, and double quotes in Windows.
Beginning and End of Line Meta-Characters
It is sometimes necessary to match a pattern at either the beginning or end of the line. The caret and dollar sign meta-characters are used for these purposes. Some examples:
^test would match the following lines:
testing 123
test test test
And test$ would match:
new test
However, equally would not be matched.
In order to match certain meta-characters as literal Strings, it is necessary to escape them. Some examples include:
test\. matches test.
equal\^ matches equal^
Note that the period and caret symbols don't act as tools for matching patterns.
Groups and Sets
Parentheses are used to group characters together, to be treated as a single unit. The unit is then evaluated by other meta-characters. As an example, (ab)+c will match abc, ababc, ababababababc, etc. It will not match abbbbbc or aabbc.
Brackets are used to define sets of characters which will be matched. Only one character from the set will be chosen. Some examples include:
[A-Z]- Capital Letters
[A-Za-z]- All letters
[AEIOUae- Capital vowels, lower-cased a and e.
Sets can also be negated using the caret-operator. An example would be:
[^A-Z]- Matches any character except capital letters.
Curly Braces are used to specify the number of elements to match from a set. They can also handle upper and lower bounds. Some examples:
[A-Z]{3}- Matches 3 uppercased letters
[0-9]{0,3]- Matches up to 3 numeric characters.
Word Bounds
The last tool to discuss is the word bounds. The syntax for this tool is:
\<Word Here\>.
Some examples include:
\<equal\>- Matches equal, but not equally.
\<test\>- Matches test, but not tested or testing.
Putting It All Together
Let's look at a couple of examples for putting a regular expression together.
First, let's design a regular expression to match a vowel, followed by at most one numeric character, then any number of lower-cased letters. The regular expression for this would be: [AEIOUaeiou][0-9]?[a-z]*. The first set defines the vowels
Next, let's design a regular expression to match all five digit numbers with a second digit as 4 and the fifth digit as an even digit. The regular expression would be: \<[0-9]4[0-9]{2}[02468]\>. Here, a word bound is used because we are only interested in five digit numbers. The [0-9]{2} bounds picks any two numeric characters to fill the 3rd and 4th digit slots, and the last set [02468] defines the set of even digits.
I hope this tutorial provided some insight and intuition on building regular expressions using the grep flavor.

This quick-start sample app is built in Java and lets you get started with the Google+ platform in a few minutes. The app demonstrates:
- Using the Google+ Sign-In button to get an OAuth 2.0 refresh token.
- Exchanging the refresh token for an access token.
- Making Google+ API requests with the access token, including getting a list of people that the user has circled.
- Disconnecting the app from the user's Google account and revoking tokens.
System requirements
Step 1: Enable the Google+ API
Create a Google API Console project, OAuth 2.0 client ID, and register your JavaScript origins:
- Go to the Google API Console .
From the project drop-down, select an existing
or create a new one by selecting Create a new project.
Note: Use a single project to hold all platform instances of your app (Android, iOS, web, etc.), each with a different Client ID.
Enable the Google+ API service:
- In the list of Google APIs, search for the Google+ API service.
- Select Google+ API from the results list.
- Press the Enable API button. Wait for the API to be enabled.
In the sidebar under "APIs & Services", select Credentials, then select
the OAuth consent screen tab.
- Choose an Email Address, specify a Product Name, and press Save.
- In the Credentials tab, select the Create credentials drop-down list, and choose OAuth client ID.
Under Application type, select Web application.
Register the origins from which your app is allowed to access the Google APIs, as follows. An origin is a unique combination of protocol, hostname, and port.
In the Authorized JavaScript origins field, enter the origin
for your app. You can enter multiple origins to allow for your app to run on different
protocols, domains, or subdomains. You cannot use wildcards. In the example below,
the second URL could be a production URL.
http://localhost:4567 https://myproductionurl.example.com
- Press the Create button.
- In the Authorized JavaScript origins field, enter the origin for your app. You can enter multiple origins to allow for your app to run on different protocols, domains, or subdomains. You cannot use wildcards. In the example below, the second URL could be a production URL.
- From the resulting OAuth client dialog box, copy the Client ID and Client secret. The Client ID lets your app access enabled Google APIs.
Step 2: Set up the Java quick-start app
Get the latest version of the quick-start. One way is to use git to clone the application repository.
git clone https://github.com/googleplus/gplus-quickstart-java.git
Or, download the application as a zip file, and extract the library and quick-start sample code:
wget https://github.com/googleplus/gplus-quickstart-java/archive/master.zip -o gplus-quickstart-java.zip unzip gplus-quickstart-java.zip
Change into the quick-start app directory
cd gplus-quickstart-java
client_secrets.json, and replace
YOUR_CLIENT_SECRETwith the values that you generated in Step 1.
Step 3: Run the quick-start app
After you have set up your Google API Console project and configured the quick-start app, the app is ready to run.
Because you registered
http://localhost:4567 as an Authorized JavaScript origin
in the Google API Console (in step 1), you will run the sample from that
Compile the Java quick-start app:
mkdir bin javac -sourcepath src -d bin -classpath "lib/*" src/com/google/plus/samples/quickstart/Signin.java
Run the compiled quick-start app:
java -classpath "bin:lib/*" com.google.plus.samples.quickstart.Signin
Browse to your quick-start app, which by default is at http://localhost:4567.
After you sign in, the application uses the JavaScript client to retrieve your profile and uses the Java client library to retrieve the people visible to the app.
Clicking Disconnect from Google+ results in the server making a call to Google to revoke the refresh token. The server then removes any data that it acquired from Google about the user to disconnect the app and follow the developer policies.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is next year's update of the venerable Tom Clancy series from Ubisoft, promising new weapons and classic method, if not the classic Sam Fisher voice actor. Nonetheless, you can catch 12 minutes slam full of gameplay in this annotated developer video.
Using the "killing-in-motion" bullet-time feature, watch Sam cut like a hot knife through the buttery defence offered a camp full of pistol-packing goons. Naturally, the dobermans pose more of an existential threat. But that means you get to watch him perform an execution move on a canine. Looks kind of Assassin's Creed-y when you do it hanging from a ledge.

Necro-Deth Cannibals from Hell
"After I listened to their music, my ears hurt."
"You know, I think they might be kinda hardcore."
Necro-Deth Cannibals from Hell is a death metal band who's members actually come from hell, at least according to the band.[1] The band was formed in 2008, on election day, when the gates of hell flung wide open. Contrary to popular opinion, Satan himself is not part of the band; the Prince of Darkness chooses to remain in the role of manager. Necro-Deth Cannibals from Hell consists of Napalmphile, Pus Blister, Nail Enafronalobe, Stryking Corpse, and Todd.
The band's style has so eluded description that a new word had to be created for the purpose: Horrifucious. Since their sudden emergence, the band has enjoyed moderate success. While most people find their music too horrifucious, an underground movement has swelled of those who feel the music is just horrifucious enough.
As yet only one album has been released, Grief of a Rotting Sadist. This album sold well amongst its loyal fans, but failed to achieve massive success. Three hits were produced from this effort: Broken Dead, Acid Mouth Wash, and Eating Babies Gives Me Bad Breath. After the 2010 Summer Tour, they began working on a split album with fellow death metallers Rectal Prolapse, called Rectal Necro-Deth. It was scheduled for release in 2011, but with the breakup of Rectal Prolapse, the effort has been delayed.
They rose to public attention when they spontaneously gave a free concert in New York City's Central Park at midnight November 9, 2008. The effectiveness of this concert has left many puzzled, as there was no stage, electricity, or even an audience. Nevertheless, this concert has been viewed as a holy event by the most devoted of Necro-Deth fans, who put it on the same spiritual level as Woodstock. Immediately after this concert, the band members ran out and ate several homeless people, leading to the inclusion of the word "Cannibals" in their name. This is also viewed as an important event by fans, as without it they would simply be called Necro-Deth from Hell, which, according to one vocal fan, "Just isn't as awesome, you know."
Little is known about the band prior to their emergence on election night. In spite of repeated attempts by reporters to gain interviews with the band, the mouths of all involved remain closed, except for the repeated claim that the band hails from the Fiery Pit.[2] This claim is, as yet, unsubstantiated. Nevertheless, the loyal followers of the group accept it as fact,[3] and since no one has been able to prove otherwise, it has become a virtual fact.
Since their emergence their following has steadily grown until they were finally able to start charging for their concerts.
2010 Summer Concert Tour[edit]
The summer tour began on June 6th, 2010, giving the date 6/6/10. The band would have preferred 6/6/06, but they were a little late; and even though Napalmphile very angrily suggested that they go back in time to 2006, no one, not even the Prince of Darkness, can make that happen.
The first stop on the tour was Hell, Michigan, and while the band had not yet released a schedule, it was known that the tour would end in Detroit, Michigan. Some were at first confused by this news, as they thought that Detroit and Hell are the same place. More than half of Hell, Michigan came to see the band; this isn't as impressive as it sounds, as the population of Hell is only around 250 people. It was a particularly tragic event, and by that we're not referring to the music. During the final song of the concert, bassist Pus Blister became very excited and attempted to stage dive into the crowd. He is a very large man, a very very large man. While the actual stage dive was successful, the people caught under his grotesque flabbiness were unable to support his weight. They were crushed, and not figuratively. Pus Blister, however, was just fine, as he had a cushioned landing. When asked if they had any regrets over the loss of these fans, the band replied that this is likely how they would've wanted to die: trying to support the band.
Another stop in a small town near Death Valley, California also led to the deaths of fans in attendance. The tragedy occured as a result of drummer Stryking Corpse's decision to sharpen the tips of his drumsticks to fine points. As the concert drew to a close, Stryking Corpse threw one of the sticks into the crowd, assumedly so a fan could have it for a souvenier. Rather than spin harmlessly into the crowd, however, it soared like a spear into the skulls of three head-bangers who happened to be lined up near each other. It stuck into the back wall of the building, dripping blood. The bodies were found after the concert ended and most of the crowd had dispersed. When asked why he had turned his sticks into deadly projectiles, and if he was sorry about the tragic turn of events, all he would say was that it was cool and laugh uncontrollably.[4]
At another stop, lead guitarist Nail Enafronalobe's guitar burst into flame in the middle of an exceptionally energetic solo. He screamed in surprise, then threw the flaming guitar into the crowd. Several fans caught fire from the flying guitar and burned to death. He later said that he was saddened by the tragic event, marking the first time that a band member lamented the death of a non-member.[5]
As the tour progressed, the turnout at the tour stops steadily decreased. Not surprising, as the fans were figuring out that attending a concert would likely result in their deaths. This trend ended at the final concert in Detroit; the auditorium was filled almost to half capacity, possibly because the people of Detroit are used to people being killed around them. Near the end of the concert, Napalmphile took on a challenge prompted by a fan comment. Some had previously accused Napalmphile of not truly loving napalm, as no one had ever seen him do anything with it.[6] So he took a cup of napalm and tried to drink it. It burned the inside of his mouth, so he spit it into the face of one of the fans and burned a hole in the head of the unfortunate attendee. Napalmphile later said that he would not be taking napalm on tour anymore; the napalm refused to comment.
After the tour was over, the band announced that they would not go on another tour for some time, to allow their fan base to build back up.
Deceased Members[edit]
Serpentine Pedophile[edit]
Serpentine Pedophile died in the middle of a concert on November 27, 2009, when his head fell off. Reports say he was head banging in his usual vigorous manner when his neck gave out, unable to handle the strain. The head is, as yet, still missing, since it bounced out into the crowd and was carried away by a fan, who no doubt thought it was a fantastic souvenir. He was replaced on the drums by Stryking Corpse. According to the band, he was sent from Hell as soon as Serpentine Pedophile met his end, and that there are plenty of other "Hell-fiend musicians waiting for their chance to Rock"; presumably, Necro-Deth will never be short a band member.[7] Serpentine Pedophile's memorial service was held on November 30, 2009 to a crowd of dozens; where he was buried has not been disclosed. The only remark that Napalmphile gave was that he returned to Hell.[8] It should be noted that his mouth was very red as he said this.
Abysmal Nausea[edit]
On January 7, 2010, it was made public that the band's current bass player, Pus Blister, was not the band's original bassist. This role was originally filled by Abysmal Nausea, a denizen of the Infernal Pit who, according to the band, was sacrificed to Satan just days after their emergence on the public scene.[9] The band gave no reason for keeping Abysmal Nausea's death a secret, but of more interest to most was why he was sacrificed in the first place. Several theories exist as to why he was sacrificed, even among band members. The most common theory, which is advanced by Napalmphile, states that Satan explicitly demanded the sacrifice, theatening to cut off their "contract" if they didn't obey. Other theories state that the band killed him because he was a crappy bassist, and they wanted to replace him for their first studio album; that the sacrifice was a publicity stunt meant only to promote their album; and even that he killed himself because he had a "stupid, stupid name". Supporters of the latter view tend to point to a suicide note written in Abysmal Nausea's blood, asking the band to take responsibility for his death.[10] Most fans ignore this view, since the band vehemently denies it.
Brainworm died on March 1, 2010, when some of the strings on his guitar broke and caused multiple lacerations across his wrists, thighs and jugular vein. This occurred during a practice session in Brainworm's house, so there were no eyewitnesses, but the band gave a short statement to the press explaining what happened. They said that a replacement guitarist, Nail Enafronalobe, is on his way from Hell.[11] He arrived on March 4 of that year. They refused to comment on why the string lacerations looked so much like knife wounds.
Musical Style and Influence[edit]
The band's music is, by anyone's standards, unforgettable. Even those who find it too horrifucious claim to have trouble getting the sounds out of their heads, even after hours of therapy.
In perhaps his longest statement yet, Napalmphile has said the band's greatest musical influence is the 1960's British group The Beatles.[13] Everyone, including the faithful, are at a loss to explain this as no one is able to discern anything resembling the music of The Beatles in Necro-Deth's sound. No resemblance at all. Not even a little bit. Paul McCartney has even been recorded as saying there is, in fact, more in common between a pig and a super model.[14]
Horrifucious, the word created to describe Necro-Deth's sound, stands as the fastest word to be created, enter public vocabulary, and get an entry in Webster's Dictionary. Some have protested this word's official inclusion, making the case that the word is meaningless without the band, just as the band is meaningless without the word. The one is meaningless without the other, creating a vicious circle that can only end in insanity. Supporters of the word have said that it is crucial for it to be included. Before the word, when people were asked to describe Necro-Deth Cannibals from Hell, their brains would literally shut down trying to think of a suitable description. This led to a mass epidemic of Necro-Deth induced comas. With the creation of the word horrifucious this condition has been reversed.

Former Band Members[edit]
- Abysmal Nausea: Bass (Unfortunately, had to be sacrificed to the Dark Lord)
- Serpentine Pedophile: Drums (His head fell off as he was head-banging in concert)
- Brainworm: Lead Guitar (Slashed to death by his own guitar strings in a jam session)
- Grief of a Rotting Sadist (2009)
- Rectal Necro-Deth (split w/Rectal Prolapse) (TBA)
- ↑ Brainworm, Nov 11, 2008: WE COME FROM HELL!!!
- ↑ Todd, Nov 21, 2008: WE COME FROM HELL!!!
- ↑ Necro-Deth fan, Dec 12, 2008: THEY COME FROM HELL!!!
- ↑ Nov 21, 2010, Journalist: So, Mr. Corpse, why did you sharpen your drumsticks into tiny spears of bloody death? Stryking Corpse: Hey, that's good, I'm gonna write a song about that. Journalist: (after an exasperated sigh) Do you have any regrets about losing those three fans? Stryking Corpse: Are you kidding? That was cool! (laughing uncontrollably)
- ↑ Nov 21, 2010, Journalist: So how are you taking the burning of several fans? Nail Enafronalobe: Pretty hard. I had that guitar ever since I was just a little hellspawn. We did everything together. Everything! How am I going to continue without her?
- ↑ July 11, 2010, Journalist: There are a few fans that have wondered about your name. They wonder if you really love napalm when no one has ever seen you do anything with it. Napalmphile: Of course not on stage, that would cross the line of decency. Journalist: (blank stare) Napalmphile: What? Journalist: You come from Hell. Napalmphile: THAT'S RIGHT!
- ↑ Stryking Corpse, Nov 27, 2009: I was sent by the Dark Lord, Beelzebub, the moment that Serpentine Pedophile WENT TO HELL! When I return home, someone will take my place, as well; there are plenty of Hell-fiend musicians waiting for their chance to rock! Necro-Deth Cannibals from Hell will never die!
- ↑ Interviewer, Nov 30, 2009: How is the band taking this loss? Napalmphile: Well, we take comfort in knowing that HE RETURNED TO HELL! Still, it's hard; he was a very tasty drummer. Interviewer: Wait, did you say tasty? Napalmphile: No. Interviewer: Yes you did, you said "tasty". Napalmphile: ...WE COME FROM HELL!
- ↑ Napalmphile, Press conference on Jan 7, 2010: We feel the need to let everyone know that Pus Blister is not our first bass player. When we emerged after THE GATES OF HELL FLUNG WIDE OPEN!!!! (picks up the podium and uses it to bludgeon a cameraman to death), our bassist was an infernal creature named Abysmal Nausea, one of the most evil creatures to ever roam the Fiery Pit. Unfortunately, we had to sacrifice him to our manager, Satan, or risk losing our... contract.
- ↑ Abysmal Nausea, Suicide note found in Napalmphile's possesssion (The guy who found it was never seen again): Dear Todd, I just ripped myself to shreads with my own hands and painted my hotel room red with my own blood. Don't spend too much time trying to figure out how I did it and then wrote this note, just have the band claim responsibility for my death. The reason for this is nothing short of my stupid, stupid name. I mean, seriously, "Abysmal Nausea"? You've got to be kidding me! What was he smoking when he came up with that pile of crap?! Can you imagine a stupider name than that!?
- ↑ Napalmphile, Press conference on Nov 21, 2010: Brainworm, our lead guitarist, died yesterday in a freak accident. Apparently, his strings broke and cut off most of his limbs and slit his throat. Journalist: Mr. Phile, why do the lacerations on Brainworm look like they were caused by a knife? Napalmphile: Luckily, the Dark Lord has already sent a replacement. His name is Nail Enafronalobe, and he's supposed to be MORE HELLISH than Brainworm.
- ↑ Mario, Dec 26, 2009: This music f***ing rocks! WOO-HOO!
- ↑ Napalmphile, Jan 4, 2009: I think our biggest musical influence is the Beatles. Interviewer: Seriously?! Napalmphile: WE COME FROM HELL!
- ↑ Paul McCartney, Jan 5, 2009: Honestly, I can't see how they get off saying that! There's more in common between a pig and a super model! When we were together, I felt like holding a girl's hand was pushing the line of decency; this Napalm fellow talks about cutting his sister's head off and raping the severed head! While we're talking of this, you've heard him sing, haven't you? If you can call that singing! Honestly, he warbles like a stuck pig! And what the bloody is an electric triangle, anyway?!

Well, I've changed over from the mailing script which was failing for a lot of people to a CGI posting script that actually works! As you may have guessed, since it works it's not one I've written or even am running from my own server. I think I might have to actually try writing to my host to get the information I need to host CGI scripts instead of just trying to guess. This form service though seems okay. All it does it send you to a thank you page with a banner ad, no popups, pretty harmless really!
Now.. for the other news item. Myforum.net seems to be in its death throws. During the day it doesn't seem to acknowledge that there are any forums on it, though late at night you can load it normally and post. I think the company is trying to cut on bandwidth costs, and will be gone shortly. So that's why I'm going to use this board. I mean... I have it already, it won't be going away, I hope, and it's free. I'm going to look for another one too, for all those people who enjoy commenting without having to log in to anything and miss the set up of the old board. I don't know how long this will take though... I'm sure Sage is disappointed. Hey... I tried! I didn't want the other board to die. I should be able to save the messages though.
Meh.. I need to go make banners. I want to use those dorky little sprites I have on my link buttons for them, but then I'm afraid everyone will think this is a sprite comic.

Philips Electronics announced that its new 'All Speed' DVD+R blank medium is the first to be approved for 1X up to 16X recording speeds. This allows consumers to use this single disc at all recording speeds - from real-time 1X video recording speed up to the maximum achievable 16X speeds. A 16X DVD drive writes the full 4.7 GB DVD+R disc in about 5 minutes. Mass volume shipments of this new 16x DVD+R medium will start in August.
The new 1-16X DVD+R disc was co-developed by Philips Optical Storage and CMC of Taiwan. The disc uses a new Oxonol dye developed by FujiFilm, containing no heavy metals/banned substances. The developments are based on the results of Philips Research's innovations in optical-storage technologies, which include the development of a new write strategy for high-speed writing.
Philips new DVD+R disc was the first 16x media to be approved by the DVD+R/RW Verification Laboratories Group (DVLG). The format verification laboratories test newly developed DVD+R, DVD+R DL and DVD+RW discs from media manufacturers to verify that read and write performance comply with the standard specifications to ensure optimal recording on discs.

This holiday season my craftiness has really been occurring in my kitchen. And, boy have I been busy… But, I mean that's what happens when someone on your Christmas list only asks for cookies!
In addition to cookie baking I've been challenging myself with the task of creatively using 12 delicious Harry & David pears that Michael and I were gifted. Pear salad? Check! Poached pears in brown sugar? Check! Chocolate and Pear Muffones??? CHECK!
|Pear and Chocolate Muffones
That's right, a muffone: part muffin, part scone. Discovered today when attempting to make Smitten Kitchen's scones but failing miserably. I'm not quite sure what I did wrong when making her scones, but clearly something because the dough didn't congeal in the way scone dough does – thick, dry and dense. Instead my dough was gooey and sticky.
So, rather than throw the dough away I thought.. "Hmmm, I wonder what will happen if I put the scone dough in a muffin tin?" And with that, ta-da – the muffone was born!
We'll see what my sweet-tooth fiance, Michael, has to say about them when he gets home. I'm guessing their edible but not something I'll be attempting to recreate again.
Oh well, not every recipe can be WORLD's best! (like these chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies).

2015 UNHCR subregional operations profile - East Asia and the Pacific-American Samoa
2015 UNHCR subregional operations profile - East Asia and the Pacific-American Samoa
| Overview |
Mixed flows of urban asylum-seekers and migrants from South-West Asia, the Middle East and Africa continue to be the main protection feature in the subregion. The central challenge for UNHCR is to assist States in shaping responses that balance concerns for border and migration control with the protection of asylum-seekers' rights. The organization is pursuing dialogue with all relevant actors to foster regional cooperation rather than unilateral deterrence measures, and avoid people of concern being rejected at the border; to seek alternatives to the detention of asylum-seekers; and to discourage the development of restrictive asylum policies.
In Australia, restrictive policy changes introduced previously were further reinforced by the coalition Government elected in September 2013. The introduction of (regional) offshore processing in Papua New Guinea and Nauru in 2012, with no prospect of durable settlement in Australia, was combined with 'Operation Sovereign Borders' to implement the Government's policy of intercepting and returning boats to Indonesia. The new Government reduced the humanitarian programme from 20,000 resettlement places in the fiscal year 2012-2013 to 13,750 places in 2014-2015, of which 6,000 are expected to be available for UNHCR-referred refugees. In September 2014, Australia and Cambodia signed a memorandum of understanding for the relocation of recognized refugees from Nauru to Cambodia.
In New Zealand, the overall climate for refugee protection remained positive, with a modest but well-managed resettlement programme and consistent financial support. However, legislation to deter boat arrivals came into force in 2013. In Papua New Guinea, there have been positive steps toward integrating West Papuan refugees, including the announcement that the citizenship fee will be waived. A clearer legal basis for refugee protection is also being drafted in a new migration act. The Government is taking steps to lift its seven reservations to the 1951 Refugee Convention.
Pacific Island Countries are strengthening collaboration around border management and are gradually accommodating refugee protection into laws, policies and activities, while UNHCR continues to process the small number of asylum-seekers who move into the region. The organization will monitor policy and practice regarding detention in Australia and at the processing centres of Nauru and Papua New Guinea, and advocate for the application of international standards to the treatment of people of concern.
China is becoming a transit and destination country for mixed migration as a result of its geographical and economic importance. The operational environments in mainland China, and the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions (SARs) continue to be at variance. In mainland China, following the adoption of the Exit-Entry Administration Law in 2013,UNHCR will advocate that the Chinese authorities assume full responsibility for registration, refugee status determination (RSD) and durable solutions, in line with international standards. In Hong Kong SAR, China, a unified screening mechanism (USM) to assess claims for protection against refoulement before executing removal orders became operational in March. As a result, UNHCR has ceased its asylum-screening procedures and refocused on providing the authorities with capacity-building assistance and closely monitoring USM implementation.
Macao SAR, China, is implementing refugee legislation through a refugees' commission, in consultation with UNHCR. In Japan, the Ministry of Justice has established a sub-committee to review the country's asylum system, which is expected to introduce measures to improve the system's fairness and efficiency. UNHCR provides technical advice to the committee and will participate in drawing up the final recommendations. Following completion of a pilot phase, the Government has decided to start a formal resettlement programme in 2015. Through public information and protection advocacy, UNHCR will pursue strong partnerships and support among decision-makers, non-governmental agencies and the public, to enhance international protection in Japan.
The asylum system in the Republic of Korea is relatively recent. UNHCR is thus helping to build national capacity with executive, judiciary and legislative bodies, as well as with the public and civil society organizations. The Republic of Korea has recently expressed its willingness to become a resettlement country, a welcome development.
| Response and implementation |
In Australia and New Zealand, UNHCR will monitor decision-making processes, and use diplomatic and public advocacy to focus on preserving the non-discriminatory implementation of asylum, irrespective of how asylum-seekers arrive. The aims are to improve admission to RSD procedures, pursue alternatives to detention and expand the search for durable solutions.
UNHCR will support government efforts towards fair and efficient RSD procedures and consistency in decision-making at different instances. The Office will monitor the implementation of bilateral arrangements between Australia and Papua New Guinea, and between Australia and Nauru, as well as the memorandum of understanding between Australia and Cambodia.
UNHCR will work to promote further public awareness of asylum and refugee protection issues in Australia and New Zealand, notably greater tolerance and understanding of the dynamics of forced population movements, including by sea. In Papua New Guinea, UNHCR will facilitate durable solutions for West Papuan refugees, especially local integration, and will support the capacity of government and NGO partners to provide effective protection and assistance to non-Melanesian asylum-seekers and refugees. Meanwhile States in the Pacific Island Countries, will receive UNHCR support to introduce protection safeguards in immigration procedures and establish and/ or reinforce RSD capacity through training.
In China, UNHCR will continue to balance the direct delivery of protection and assistance services to asylum-seekers and refugees with a move to providing greater advocacy and technical support for central and provincial authorities. The aim is to gradually capacitate the latter to take over responsibility for registration, asylum processing and the realization of durable solutions for those needing international protection. Together with the Government, the Office will ensure that administrative structures and regulations for the new Exit-Entry Administration Law are in place. In the meantime, UNHCR will continue conducting RSD and providing legal counselling and social and material assistance to the most vulnerable refugees, until durable solutions are identified.
In Hong Kong SAR, China, UNHCR will monitor the unified screening mechanism, provide technical support to the authorities and help find durable solutions. Public awareness will accompany successful fund raising activities. In Japan, UNHCR's refugee protection activities will support the authorities in refocusing their reception, RSD and local integration mechanisms, including by following up on the recommendations of the sub-committee on asylum.
The organization will undertake a range of awareness-raising activities, including public events such as the Refugee Film Festival with Japan for UNHCR, and external partners. UNHCR will strengthen its strategic partnership with Japan International Cooperation Agency. In the Republic of Korea, the Office will advocate better access to the asylum system and social services for approximately 6,000 refugees and asylum-seekers. UNHCR will also support the Government's efforts to prepare for a resettlement programme.
The organization will target potential private donors with innovative campaigns, and intensify its contacts with the Korean business community to generate corporate-sector funding.
| Financial information |
In 2015, the overall financial requirements for the East Asia and the Pacific subregion have been set at USD 12.6 million. In the Pacific, UNHCR has maintained a very modest budget despite the significant protection challenges the organization continues to face in the region. In mainland China, more direct delivery of protection and assistance to an increasing population of urban refugees and asylum-seekers, as well as increased capacity-building activities, have resulted in higher financial requirements for 2015. In Japan and the Republic of Korea, financial requirements will remain stable.

Samsung, BlackBerry offer upgrades in new models, but no game-changers
Two of the most-watched names in the smartphone business, Samsung and BlackBerry, are upping their game with new models this spring -- but neither offers a game-changer.
Both Samsung's Galaxy S4 and BlackBerry's Q10 are strong upgrades that should please their fans, but neither device offers a killer feature that shifts the paradigm of the highly competitive market. That's less of a problem for market leader Samsung than for BlackBerry, which is trying to claw back into contention with a line of new smartphones.
With the S4, Samsung has offered a wide sampling of new features meant to appeal to tech enthusiasts and novices alike, but nothing to propel it farther ahead of its main competitor, Apple.
These include several software features that range from the great to the gimmicky. Users, for example, may find themselves enthralled with a feature that lets them remove passersby from snapshots, but probably will hardly ever tap on the face-slimming "Beauty Face" photo filter offered in the same menu. Other promising features, such as an auto-scrolling feature that detects when you're looking at the phone, don't work consistently enough to be useful.
The most remarkable feature of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is its screen. The company has managed to pack in a whopping five-inch display while actually making the phone a hair smaller than its predecessor, the Galaxy SIII. That, combined with Samsung's signature screen quality, gives users more real estate to browse or watch video.
The screen is also the distinguishing feature of BlackBerry's new Q10 smartphone , though for the opposite reason. The Q10, the second smartphone that runs the company's new software, has BlackBerry's signature keyboard tucked under a 3.1-inch, squarish touch screen that looks very small compared with those on other smartphones.
But this phone isn't necessarily meant to appeal to the average consumer. The Q10 is aimed at BlackBerry's most loyal fans, those who are unwilling to give up the keyboard on their older models but are dying to upgrade to a more modern phone. If that is the goal, the company has succeeded. The Q10 retains the form factor of older models while including features, such as an advanced camera and a snappier browser, that place its performance more on a par with other smartphones. While still sluggish compared with other high-end smartphones, the Q10's performance is a marked improvement over previous models.
As for the all-important keyboard, the Q10's keyboard is a little less crisp than the ones on previous BlackBerry models but still allows for faster, more comfortable typing than the virtual keyboards that pop up on touch screens. In a nice nod to its most devoted users, BlackBerry has included legacy features such as keyboard shortcuts that should keep its user base happy.
The battery in the Q10 isn't as long-lived as its predecessors', due to its better display, but you won't be left with a completely depleted battery at the end of the day.
Both the S4 and Q10 offer features for business types. For instance, they give employers the option to separate work information on the phones from personal information, which could appeal to businesses that are jittery about mobile-device hacks. They also include practical features, such allowing users to swap in a spare battery or expand the amount of storage on their phones.
The Galaxy S4 will be available at a price range of $149 to $249 with a two-year contract on AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. T-Mobile, which no longer requires fixed service contracts, will sell the S4 for a $149 down payment, followed by 24 monthly payments of $20.
All four major carriers have confirmed they will carry the Q10, which BlackBerry says will be available by the end of May for a recommended price of $249.

DNA Down Under with Blaine Bettinger - Aug 2019
16th cruise - Mediterranean- Sep 201917th cruise - Tasmania - early 2020
I currently follow a blog called ArchivesNext and whilst it's American it can have some very interesting posts. One such post was 'What tools are essential for you?' Followers were asked what web tools/sites/apps they use everyday, and which ones are essential to their working/social lives. The blog gained some good (and numerous!) responses, mostly from archivists, but no doubt there were others putting in their two-cents worth as well.
After a 6 hour wait at Brisbane airport, 2.5 hour plane ride to Adelaide, then 40 minute car ride, I finally made it home Saturday night at about 8pm. The shower kept moving the next day but otherwise I was fine with being back on dry land. (Please note: cruise ships have bathrooms that are nice but very compact, and if you're going to feel the ship's sway then it'll be in there. Whatever you do, hang on and don't close your eyes when having a shower.
I apologise to all my fans that I did not manage to write this blog on either Friday or Saturday. Friday I could not arrange to have a computer, and Saturday I did not have access to one until I finally arrived at home at 8pm, at which point I wasn't particularly interested in writing a blog.
We were back into the swing of things now that the off-shore touring was over. The Unlock the Past program ran all day, beginning at 8am and not really stopping until about 9pm. Different things cater for different people's taste - there were the general forty-five minute talks for the entire 240 delegates, shorter sessions for 60 people, as well as table discussion groups for either lunch or tea (I have noticed that different generations or localities speak of dinner as either lunch or tea, so I'll avoid the word entirely to save confusion).
Today was without an Unlock the Past program so people were free to spend their time in Vila without being tempted to attend talks or group discussions. I walked down the gangplank at 8.10am, ready for my tour at 8.30am. The sun was intense once more, and I knew it would be a hot day. The forecast was merely just above 30 degrees but the humidity was far greater than I'm used to.
Before rushing head-long into today's events I must write about last night's excitement. I stayed up until the ridiculous hour of 11pm to watch the ship pull out from Noumea. A little tugboat arrived at the rear of the ship at approximately 10.30pm, and subsequently put on a bit of a show, turning around in circles, meandering to and fro. I'm not sure whether the driver was bored or if there was method in their madness, but it occupied both their and my time waiting until the ship was ready. Finally the time obviously arrive at 10.45pm as the tug moved closer to the harbour.
Today was our first sunny day and the heat was surprisingly intense. The deck was full of cancer-loving sunbathers and others jumping in and out of the pools. The sea was much calmer, something my stomach appreciated greatly.
Food can come from a number of places on the ship (for 'free'), including the buffet, restaurant, and some tables that mysteriously appear and disappear near the pool. I chose to have a meatball roll from these mysterious tables. The afternoon was spent by some watching a movie, sitting and drinking cocktails (alcohol is abundant…), going to discussion groups, or perhaps having a nanna nap. I was in that latter category. 4pm meant talks began once more and this time we went to an equally cold room, the Dome.
I am here sitting in the internet cafe on the Pacific Dawn, typing away as speedily as possible to not use up too much internet time (.75c per minute, for future reference).
As I have a copious amount of time on board, when I'm not lying down feeling sick or in talks (still feeling sick), I thought I could let those who may be interested know what's happening and what to expect from future cruises.
This morning's talks consisted of Shauna Hick's and Jeremy Palmer. I have never heard Jeremy speak so was interested in sitting in. First I will discuss Shauna's though.
For those who still wish to go on the History & Genealogy Cruise, you'd better make up your mind fast as places are VERY limited. There are only a few cabins left so make your interest known by clicking here.

As part of the activities to commemorate National Teen Dating Violence Month, the Santa Clara County's Office of Women's Policy and the Domestic Violence Information and Resource Collaborative will host a workshop Thursday for educators and others who may be working with teenagers involved in violent dating relationships.
Participants will learn warning signs associated with teen dating violence, as well as available resources and services; connect with community agencies; and become familiar with the process of reporting and expediting help for victims.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention define teen dating violence as the physical, sexual, or psychological/emotional violence within a dating relationship, as well as stalking. Nearly 1.5 million high school students nationwide experience physical abuse from a dating partner in a single year. A 2011 nationwide survey on youth risk behavior revealed that 9 out of 100 high school students reported being hit, slapped or physically hurt on purpose by their boyfriend or girlfriend in the 12 months prior to the survey.
Local experts from the courts will be on hand during the workshop, along with law enforcement officials, agencies assisting domestic violence victims, crisis hotlines, social services, housing and emergency shelters, immigration, legal, mental and substance abuse counselors.
The forum, which is free, will be held from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the county's Re-Entry Center, 151 W. Mission St., San Jose.
Participants must pre-register, as space is limited.
For more information or to pre-register, call Julie Ramirez at (408) 299-5135 or email email@example.com.

'Aircraft charter' in Sacramento refers to the hiring of an airplane to travel from one destination to another, for private use. Many people are availing the services of aircraft charter rental and leasing companies for their personal use. Aircraft charters are advantageous than commercial airplanes as they provide instant services to the traveler. Many tour companies rent airplanes to give tourists flight services along with their tour package.
The aircraft leasing was allowed only by tour companies in the past. The common man could not directly utilize the services of private charters. But nowadays, many aircraft charter rental and leasing companies in Sacramento have come up, which allows the common man to rent the aircraft for their private use.
The services offered in the rented aircraft are of high quality which many commercial airplanes may fall short of. The immediate availability and the privacy of the charters cause the aircraft rental companies to charge high rate for their services. The situation changes if there are more passengers to board the same charter. Then the share of each passenger lessens quite a bit. At times, the cost of the charters are comparatively lesser than the commercial ones. This is due to the fact that the tickets are often booked in advance and the charter has to be filled to the fullest capacity to decrease losses. So the aircraft charter rental and leasing companies rent out at discounted rates if the tickets are not sold at the time of departure.

To comply with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations, Northside ISD will offer free meals to children who are 18 years or younger from June 11-July 11 (Monday through Thursday) at any of the following schools:
Glass and Knowlton elementary schools were each recently awarded $5,000 grants from the Laura Bush Foundation for America's Libraries.
Summer School is a time to catch up in your studies, learn something new, or try to get ahead. NISD offers a wide variety of courses, from classes to allow students to take more advanced and varied courses during the regular school year; classes needed for remediation; enrichment courses and campus that allow students to explore and have fun while learning something new.
Dr. Carol Harle was sworn in as a Northside ISD trustee Tuesday night. She replaces District 6 Trustee Randy Fields, who decided not to run for re-election after serving on the Board since 1999.
Last night, Trustees discussed and took action on several items: appointment of several campus administrators, approval of changes to employee insurance for 2014, approval of school calendar for 2014-2015 and reorganization of Board officer positions.

BYOB Christmas Lights Trolley – Dasher 11-23
November 23 @ 5:00 pm - 11:00 pm$75
Last year's SOLD OUT BYOB Christmas Lights Trolleys are back by popular demand! Perched atop the tallest building in Detroit's historic Eastern Market, the 900 Tower + Terrace features panoramic international views of the Detroit and Windsor skylines.
Join us for a pre-tour photo opt with amazing views of downtown Detroit starting at 5pm (4pm on Sundays)! We will drink and be merry until the trolley arrives to pick us up at 6:00 (5pm on Sundays). Once we are all aboard, we will head to Wayne County Lightfest (Hines Drive) to take a drive through 4 miles of light displays, featuring over 100,000 lights.
From Lightfest, we will venture to the Detroit Zoo to take in Wild Lights. Featuring more than 5 million LED lights on hundreds of displays, the Zoo transforms into a magical winter wonderland – perfect for a stroll with your sweetheart, or family and friends. Hot cocoa and warm snacks are available for purchase at various locations in the Zoo.
Our final destination will be beautiful Campus Martius. We listened to your feedback from last year, and have added additional time at both the zoo and Campus Martius, so take your time and enjoy a skate on the rink, a coney from Lafayette, or a hot toddy from any of the many bars surrounding the park. Downtown Detroit is beautiful this time of year!
Tickets are $75 each and include:
Round-trip transportation for the evening on one of our beautiful, heated trolleys
Entrance to the rooftop pre-party at the 900 Tower + Terrace in Eastern Market
Secured parking
Admission to Wild Lights at the Zoo
Souvenir Santa hat
Complimentary entertainment by our fantastic crew
Must be 21+ to attend this event. Tickets are nonrefundable but may be transferred to another individual. This event will take place rain/snow or shine, but in the case of extreme weather that prevents the trolley from running, ticket holders will be offered either a refund or tickets for a new date. Itinerary is subject to change based on wait times, traffic, or other reasons beyond our control, but we promise to show you a good time and plenty of Christmas lights no matter what!

There is no sound when using a TV or audio system with the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature.
This solution is designed to assist when the ARC feature is not working and both the TV and audio system are compatible with the ARC feature .
To fix this issue, check these suggestions.
- The TV or the audio system must have the latest software installed.
- Make sure the Control for HDMI option of both products is set to On in the menu systems.
- If model-specific information is needed to turn on the Control for HDMI option or determine if your product supports ARC, refer to the instructions supplied with the product.
- Make sure that a high-speed HDMI cable is being used and that it is securely connected to the HDMI ports labeled ARC on both products.
- If only one of the products supports ARC, it is necessary to connect the products as shown in the diagram below to send sound from the TV to the audio system.
- Some TVs with multiple HDMI inputs will only support the ARC feature on one of the inputs. In these cases the input will be marked with the letters ARC.
- Perform a power reset on the TV and audio system, as follows:
- Turn off the TV and the audio system.
- Disconnect the power cords (mains lead) and HDMI cord from both the TV and audio system. Leave it disconnected for about a minute.
- Reconnect the HDMI cord to the ARC HDMI input of the TV and ARC HDMI out of the audio system, depending on the model of the audio system used. Some A/V receivers have Out A and Out B, so please make sure to connect the HDMI cord to the HDMI ARC out of the audio system that is labeled ARC.
- If there are any third party external devices connected to the ARC HDMI input A/V receiver like a cable box, satellite receiver, or a gaming console, make sure to disconnect these devices and leave the connection between the TV and the audio system ( such as an A/V receiver or a Sound bar).
NOTE: Third-party devices may cause the Control for HDMI function of the TV and the audio device to quit working.
- For Android TVs, check the following.
- If the audio system is not compatible with Dolby Digital or DTS, perform the following steps.
- Press the Home button on the remote control.
- Select Settings.
- Select Sound or Display & Sound.
- Select Audio output.
NOTE: If Audio output is not shown, skip this step.
- Select Digital audio out, then set to PCM.
- Perform a Clear Data or Cache from External Input Services Application.
The following is an example of operation with Android TVs manufactured on 2015.
- Press the HOME button on the remote.
- Select Settings.
- Under the TV category, select Apps.
- Select System apps.
- Select External Input Services.
- Select Clear data and choose OK.
- Select Clear cache and choose OK.
- If the audio system is not compatible with Dolby Digital or DTS, perform the following steps.

This Friendly Husky Really Wants to Play With a Very Confused Cat
We already knew huskies love to howl (even when they're just learning how) but did you know they love to play with cats? This husky does, even though his would-be friend the cat isn't so sure. To be honest, we wouldn't be either; that's a big dog.
Maybe the husky should just invite the cat to play in a big pile of leaves instead?

Ford's EcoBoost badge inevitably triggers thoughts of doing something to help the environment, but this Australian advertisement for the Ford Falcon EcoBoost shows the car murdering one of a pair of cane toads on a lonely stretch of highway.
The ad is weird from the start. It opens with a pair of cane toads engaged in a lengthy discussion on the effects of licking their own poisonous back secretions — one of the toads is horny and experiencing MDMA-like euphoria from doing so. When they see distant headlights (which the trippin' toad trips out on), the sober toad begins talking trash about four cylinder engines. Right when he's explaining why they have plenty of time to move off the road because four cylinder cars are gutless, SPLAT!
This commercial certainly puts the Eco in EcoBoost, or rather, runs it over. Having doffed the Mad Max-style V8 power from the Falcon nameplate, the ad seems like a tricky way to say that despite the reduction in displacement and namby-pamby enviro-friendly engine moniker, this Falcon is still a predator at heart.
(Hat tip to James S!)
