Are you finding it tough to get to sleep? Do you get up every day tired and feeling like you haven?t slept enough? If your answers to any of these questions are Yes, you could be suffering from insomnia. It is a condition where people find it difficult to fall asleep or get enough restful sleep. Insomnia is a troublesome problem, but there are ways to solve it without the help of drugs. Sam Oakes has developed a solution called ?Outsmart Insomnia Protocol? that addresses the root causes of insomnia and helps you get a good night?s sleep every night.
One of the chief reasons for insomnia is anxiety. Initially, you may be kept awake due to worries about your day to day life, which everyone has to some extent. Later, insomnia itself becomes a source of anxiety. You will keep worrying about getting to sleep and the worry keeps you awake. Outsmart Insomnia Protocol helps you overcome the anxiety and related behaviors that prevent you from relaxing and falling asleep. Instead of trying to sleep, you try to stay awake, which has exactly the opposite effect on you. It also prescribes some exercises that will help you relax your body and mind to help you fall into a deep sleep.
If you stay awake for a long time after going to bed or have trouble getting enough sleep for days together, despite having the opportunity to do so, you are suffering from insomnia. Generally, people suffering from it will take more than 30 minutes to fall asleep and may not be able to sleep for even 6 hours a day. This happens on several days of a week and goes on for months. Insomnia is not a trivial problem. Seven to eight hours of sleep a day is essential for both body and mind. If you are sleep deprived, it has many serious implications for your health, mood, abilities, work performance and the quality of your life. You will feel chronically tired and sluggish. You will have trouble concentrating and staying focused on anything.
Sam Oakes? Outsmart Insomnia Protocol recommends a number of methods to help you improve your sleeping environment, change your sleeping habits and address the root causes of insomnia. They help you get over insomnia and rediscover sound sleep. These techniques are the best treatments and should always be tried first before you try any other options like drugs. In fact, for many people, they are more effective than sedatives. Besides curing insomnia, these methods also help you discard the troublesome negative thoughts associated with anxiety that prevent you from falling asleep. People with insomnia can also develop wrong beliefs regarding their problem. Some people wrongly believe that even one night without proper sleep can be dangerous for their health. The techniques help remove such baseless worries and beliefs.
According to the author, the Outsmart Insomnia Protocol is effective for people of all ages. The techniques basically address and gradually remove the anxiety at bedtime, which is associated with learned insomnia. They help you control your mood, breathing rate and muscle tension.
The solution is divided into four modules. Each of these modules aims to make the insomnia sufferer do the opposite of what they normally do when they get into bed. Normally, you will struggle against insomnia and try your best to fall asleep. With this method, you do the opposite, that is, you give up the struggle and just try to keep awake. Surprisingly, the method breaks the thought patterns that sustain your anxiety and when that happens, you automatically fall asleep.
The first module called the ?The Truth about Insomnia? educates you about sleep, its importance, the health problems that can arise as a result of insomnia and their consequences on your physical, mental and emotional health.
The second module called ?The Quick and Dirty Guide to Fall Asleep in Fifteen Minutes or Less? shows you how to get to sleep quickly and stay asleep longer. On an average, you can expect seven to eight hours of sound sleep a day.
The third module is called ?Three Steps to Balance Your Brain Chemistry, Fix Your Sleep Schedule and Cure Insomnia Forever?. Sam says that this module works very differently from the others. While the earlier modules were aimed at relaxing the central nervous system, this one targets your sleep-wake cycle. This promises to be a real long-term cure for insomnia that is safe and free from any risk of abuse or dependence.
The last module called ?The Neuroscientist?s Secrets to Deep, Satisfying Sleep and Waking up Refreshed? gives you proven techniques to improve the quality of your sleep. It gives you methods to reduce the activity of the wake center of your brain, which helps you fall asleep quickly and get the maximum benefit from sleep. It maximizes the third stage of sleep called NREM deep sleep, which is actually responsible for all the good effects of sleep such as healing and waking up refreshed and recharged. Sam claims that this module has a great impact on those suffering from anxiety and sleeplessness.
Besides techniques to help you sleep, the Outsmart Insomnia Protocol also recommends a set of foods that help you sleep better and stay alert, vigilant and attentive. These foods improve the concentration of amino acids called tryptophans in the blood and make more of it available to your brain. Tryptophans are chemicals which induce sleep. You also get a five-minute workout called ?Ready, Set, Snooze?, which helps you relax both your body and mind and makes you fall asleep easily.
The Outsmart Insomnia Protocol has all the ingredients to help you overcome insomnia without drugs and the results are permanent.

Dohaland Celebrates Qatar's National Day with Local Community
Dohaland is set to host and engage the Qatari community with a host of activities and events for Qatar's double celebrations of the National Day and the 2022 World Cup winning bid this coming Saturday 18th of December, 2010.
"December 18th is a day that defines the spirit and aspirations of this country as it continues to grow into one of the world's most advanced, prosperous and hospitable nations. As we support the realisation of His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani's Qatar National Vision 2030, we will also honour the glorious triumphs of our forefathers who laid the groundwork for this great country. This year all Qataris will be especially joyous after the historical announcement of Qatar winning the World Cup bid on the 2nd of December," said Eng. Issa M. Al Mohannadi, CEO-Dohaland.
Dohaland, who strongly supported the 2022 World Cup bid, has also commissioned a special song for National Day, sung by popular Qatari singer Fahad Al Kubaisi. The song entitled 'I am Qatari' will reflect the strong and proud traditions of Qatar, the ambitions and dreams of its people, and the joy of all Qataris during this wonderful era. It is posted on the Dohaland website www.dohaland.com , Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ad-Doha-Qatar/DOHALAND/103772956781 and will be available to TV and Radio stations for broadcast.
Dohaland has partnered with the Qatar National Day Committee to exhibit a rare collection of antique daggers and swords belonging to the founding father, and also screen documentaries charting the life and times of the founders of Qatar at the Knowledge Enrichment Centre. The floating presentation centre moored off Doha Corniche, will be at the heart of all the festivities in the city, and will be open to public on Saturday from 3 pm to 9 pm, and from 9:00am to 8:30pm from Monday to Thursday.
Children will be able to enjoy the celebrations as Dohaland holds a 6-day exhibition outside the Knowledge Enrichment Centre from 15 - 20 December. The exhibition will display a collection of works by children from over 58 schools who participated in the 'Paint the Doha of Our Dreams' campaign, Dohaland's first CSR campaign. The Paint the Doha of Our Dreams contest encouraged children across Qatar to unleash their imagination onto canvas and show what they would like Doha to look like in the future, with a prestigious jury from VCU-Q judging the submissions. The initiative formed part of the company's mission to enrich lives and inspire people to flourish and realise their full potential.
Dohaland has also organised activities for its employees as well as workers involved in the construction of its signature project Musheireb, the new Doha downtown generation project. The Musheireb construction site will also be adorned with Qatari flags positioned on cranes.

Chun, W.W.C. 2002. Xanthomonadins, Unique Yellow Pigments of the Genus Xanthomonas. The Plant Health Instructor. DOI: 10.1094/PHI-A-2000-0824-01Revised 2005.
Xanthomonadins are a unique class of carotenoid-like pigments produced by members of the phytopathogenic genus Xanthomonas. These pigments are brominated, aryl-polyene, yellow, water-insoluble pigments that are associated exclusively with the outer membrane of the bacterial cell wall (17). Differentiated into 15 groups according to the number of bromine atoms, the absorption maxima and mass spectrometric M + value (6), and methylation (15), these pigments are useful chemotaxonomic markers for Xanthomonas (16). Other yellow pigmented bacteria that are either taxonomically similar or distant do not produce xanthomonadins. All yellow Xanthomonas spp. produce xanthomonadins (16).
The yellow color of xanthomonadins was recognized early as a significant characteristic of the genus (5). Mortimer Starr first demonstrated the carotenoid nature of this yellow coloring (14). Subsequent comparative studies (16; see comparative list) showed that all yellow pigmented strains of Xanthomonas produced pigments with similar chromatographic and spectral absorption properties. In 1973, Andrewes and Andrewes et al. (1, 2) determined that these pigments consisted of mixtures of brominated, aryl-polyene esters. Thus, xanthomonadins and carotenoids, while chemically different, do share the trait of having polyene chains (8). In 1976, Andrewes et al. (3) published the exact structure of xanthomonadin I, a dibrominated xanthomonadin from Xanthomonas juglandis (see Figure 1). It became clear by 1977 that xanthomonadins from different xanthomonads differed in bromination and methylation (15). Studies with X. albilineans, X. arboricola pv. pruni, X. axonopodis, X. arboricola pv. juglandis,X. campestris, X. fragariae, X. hyacinthi, X. axonopodis pv. phaseoli, X. translucens, X. vesicatoria and X. ampelina (currently Xylophilus ampelinus, see 18) indicated that the bromination and methylation patterns of xanthomonadins were useful for identification of members within the genus. In addition, Starr et al. (15) showed distinctive electronic absorption and chemical properties of the pigments from Xylophilus ampelinus, suggesting that this species does not belong in the genus Xanthomonas.
Figure 1. Structure of xanthomonadin I produced by Xanthomonas juglandis. Reproduced from Andrewes et al. (3) 1976. Tetrahedron Lett. 45:4023-4024.
Isolations from plant tissues and soil debris often yield many yellow-pigmented bacteria. It may be difficult to distinguish colonies of Xanthomonas spp. visually from colonies of saprophytic bacteria by color, especially with Xanthomonas species that do not produce copious amounts of extracellular polysaccharide (EPS). Because the yellow xanthomonadin pigments of Xanthomonas are unique to the genus, pigment extraction and chromatographic analysis can be an important tool for bacterial genus identification (7). Additional chromatographic, adsorption, and analytical spectroscopy data for species characterization are available (see 15, 16).
The following procedure for identification of xanthomonadins (7) is from the Laboratory Guide for the Identification of Phytopathogenic Bacteria, 3rd edition.
Xanthomonadin production is controlled by a gene cluster consisting of seven transcriptional units (12, Figure 2) and is regulated by an extracellular bacterial pheromone (4, 11). The gene cluster appears to be present in all xanthomonads (including the white variant X. manihotis) (10) and in the recently reclassified Stenotrophomonas (Xanthomonas) maltophilia (Chun, personal communication). Within the gene cluster is pigB, which is required for the production of a diffusible factor (DF). The diffusible factor was shown to be a butyrolactone (4, Figure 3) by mass spectroscopic analysis and functions similarly to autoregulatory signals found in other bacteria. DF production is essential for both xanthomonadin and EPS production by the bacterium (11). Two transcriptional units: xanB1 which encodes a putative reductase/halogenase; and xanB2 which encodes a putative pteridine-dependent dioxygenase-like protein (13) reside in pigB. Of these, only xanB2 is required for DF production. Hence, single site pigB (xanB2) mutants are typically white and produce less EPS (Figure 4). The remaining genes within the cluster appear to be related to the production and modification of the xanthomonadin.
Xanthomonadins were shown to play a role in protection against damage by visible light in the presence of oxygen (photodynamic damage) in X. juglandis (8) and X. campestris pv. campestris (Poplawsky and Chun, personal comm.). Pheromone, xanthomonadin and extracellular polysaccharide production may be required for epiphytic survival by X. c. pv. campestris on crucifer leaves (4, 9). It is well known that epiphytic survival is essential for Xanthomonas bacteria to establish a successful infection. When both xanthomonadin and EPS production are deficient, populations of X. c. pv. campestris are as much as 1000-fold lower in planta (4). This resulted in significantly fewer lesions (from 8.7 to 1.7 lesions per leaf) on spray-inoculated crucifer leaves (Figure 5).
Xanthomonadins play a major role in defining the genus Xanthomonas and can be used as supportive data for speciation within the genus. Aside from their bromine scavenging ability (15), these pigments are essential for the pathogenic success of the bacterium (see related images below). Without the protective action of the polyene chain, the bacteria would be limited in their ability to survive epiphytically. Thus, successful entry and establishment of an infection in plant tissues would be drastically diminished.

How and when the MR signals are mapped into the k-space cause great differences in the spatial, temporal and contrast resolution of the resulting MR images.
The location of the datas in k-space depends on the net strength and duration of the phase encoding gradient and frequency encoding gradient:
The low-spatial-frequency informations are mapped near the center of k-space and the high-spatial-frequency informations are mapped to the periphery of k-space.
Drag the cross to see the image corresponding to low or high-spatial frequency information. A point in k-space encodes for data with the same orientation of the line passing through this point and the center of k-space.

|Powered by QM on a Linux server
KnowledgeBase 00011: Transfering Data to QM
QM has supported a version of the Pick style account/file transfer tools since mid-2005 but these are limited in their capabilities largely due to the lack of comprehensive documentation of the media format but also because the format has restrictions on what can be saved. Although these tools can be used for system backup, the media format limitations and poor documentation lead to doubts about the reliability of the data.
There is a need for a set of tools that provide a reliable way to transfer data to QM from other multivalue environments. By publishing both the media format and the program source code, the tools can be adapted to run in other environments.
The QMSave Tool
The source code of the QMSave tool is supplied in the BP file of the QMSYS account. This source code contains conditional compilation constructs for elements that are not portable across all multivalue systems. If the system on which it is to be used does not support conditional compilation, the source should be edited to remove unwanted code.
Users who modify the program to add support for alternative environments are encouraged to return their changes to Zumasys for incorporation in the published source so that other users may benefit.
Assuming that the program has been compiled and catalogued, the command
line to run it is
Multiple file names may be given or the word ALL can be used to save all files.
The QMRestore Tool
The QMRESTORE tool is a standard part of QM but needs a VOC entry to be added manually:
QMRESTORE 1: V 2: CA 3: $QMRESTOREThe command line is of the form
QMRESTORE path {options}
where path is the pathname of the save to be restored. Options are:
CLEAR to clear each file before restore
NO.QUERY to suppress prompts
The command will prompt for the name of the saved account and the name of the file(s) to be restored. Entering an asterisk as the file name restores all files. Data is restored into the account from which this command is executed.
If the restore includes a file named VOC or MD, these are restored to VOC-RESTORE and MD-RESTORE respectively.

I hope this will be as good as it sounds, although it's a bit weird to see an anime adaptation of a manga talking about mangakas struggling to become mangakas In any case, I look forward to this. Bakuman is really, really good. I expect the manga series presented in the story will be shown in panels. It wouldn't make sense to show them as an anime before one is made for it. Crow and Detective trap are gonna be amazing!
Now, to wait until Defense Devil gets an anime adaptation

one of the few manga that I'm currently enjoying the most. I'm quite happy and surprised to see an anime announcement being made this soon and with a specific airing season, too.
I have greatly enjoyed some of the shows Kasai Kenichi has directed (Honey and Clover, Nodame and Aoi Hana come to mind), but I can't help but wonder if Bakuman would be the kind of manga that would suit him the most. I think he is quite a good director when it comes to drama, and he can also do very faithful and enjoyable adaptations. however, Bakuman doesn't exactly have a lot of drama, or is focused entirely on comedy, though it has sparks of the two. it's the kind of story that I've always found interesting and enjoyable, for the sole reason that is very interesting, in the way it's told, and developed in every single chapter. you can say it's like a school-life kind of thing, with the school replaced by a mangaka's life/workshop.
what I hope for this adaptation:
- good character designs. The manga is very good at this. the cast is somewhat large, but it has very distinguishable and unique characters, with a especial mention to the good-looking and well-dressed females (Aoki and Miho come to mind).
- please don't make it cheap.
- the manga was very interesting; please make the adaptation interesting, too.

I'm not sure how big the budget is. KyoAni places alot of budget into a show because they know it would sell. But I would think that Bakuman's budget is about Toradora or Kobato level, reletively popular but not the most popular thing ever. The problem with Bakuman, I can't see alot of people buying it. Even if it does get well praised on the internet. For example, Ouran is well loved but its DVD only sold about 7k.
I think Kasai should work well with this show, Miracle Train's comedy was...actually funny....

Kasai should be find with the comedy, Nodame s1 had some hilarious moments in it.. and Kasai is really good at adapting manga, just look at Honey and Clover as well as Nodame Cantabile.
It might not end up selling "that" well on dvd/bluray but I really can't see the the guys behind this expecting it to flop and budget accordingly. I would expect/hope J.C Staff's top team on this next Fall... let the "B" teams do season 2 of Index or 3 of Shana.. Bakuman should be their top priority since it can potentially outsell those two properties easily.

I don't think Bakuman is going to well in the anime sales department. I don't think fans of Bakuman loves it so much that they'll spend 6000 yen for 3 episodes, a volume of manga is only 390 yen (if I remember correctly). Nodame Cantabile sells well over a million per volume, and it only sold 4k per volume for the DVD. One Piece sells over 2 million per volume, but it only sells 2k per DVD. A mainstream series don't tend to do so well in the DVD department (other then Gintama because of its fujoshis...)
I think Bakuman would be quite lucky to sell 10k.

Yeah, manga popularity doesn't translate to successful anime at all. It simply depends on whether they can penetrate the hardcore collector market, which is all too narrow. Fujoshi, moe, serial gag.
Index and Shana will get prime treatment because they tap directly into the right fanbase.

PARIS, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- French President Francois Hollande is under fire for his proposals to legalize same-sex marriage, scheduled to be debated by lawmakers in January.
Religious groups and the conservatives have protested the Hollande's proposal, while equal-rights groups and liberal lawmakers have warned that his measures would be inadequate if they don't include language on gay parenting rights or medically assisted procreation, the British publication The Guardian reported Friday.
Socialists and gay rights activists said they plan to demonstrate Sunday to try to counter the opposition to gay marriage and adoption from the right and key figures in the Catholic church.
Hollande's proposal includes provisions legalizing same-sex marriage, as well as adoption for gay couples. However, activists said they are concerned because the measure would only grant same-sex couples the right to adopt if they were married, rather than in a civil partnership.
His proposed law also would not give automatic joint parenting rights to same-sex couples who had a child together, nor would it allow medically assisted procreation, which activists say create more inequities between same-sex and heterosexual couples, The Guardian said.
Elisabeth Ronzier, president of SOS Homophobie, called the proposal and pending debate historic because "it's the first time a French government is moving towards more equal rights for gay couples and families," The Guardian reported.
"But we're not celebrating yet because the proposed law still doesn't give complete equality," Ronzier said. "We want equal rights to medically assisted procreation. We want legal rights for co-parents -- that means full parental responsibility for people raising a child with their partner."
Worldwide, 11 countries have legalized same-sex marriage.

UH Hilo to revive ROTC program
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Thursday, July 24, 2008
Contact: Alyson Kakugawa-Leong, (808) 974-7642
For Immediate Release
The University of Hawaii at Hilo will revive its Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program this fall with two introductory courses in military science.
Military Science Leadership (MSL) 101 and 201 or Introduction to Military Science and the Introduction to Military Science Lab will be offered as the first step in the program's gradual resumption. The courses will initially be listed as Interdisciplinary Studies (IS) 194 and 294, respectively. The Intermediate Military Science courses listed as IS 102 and 202 will be offered in Spring 2009.
ROTC is widely recognized as one of the best leadership programs in the country, as participants are taught through classes and field training how to lead others, motivate groups and conduct missions as a military officer. UH Hilo offered an ROTC program from 1988 until 1992, when it was suspended.
The decision to resume ROTC was prompted in part by interest expressed by students enrolled in high school programs both locally and on the mainland, as well as UH Hilo undergraduates. JOTC programs are currently offered at four Big Island high schools, with the Navy program at Waiakea High School posting the highest enrollment of 110 students during the 2007-2008 school year. The three Army programs were led by Hilo High with 109, followed by Kealakehe with 102 and 75 at Konawaena.
"Our first and foremost responsibility is to our local students, so we're always looking for new and better ways to create more educational opportunities for them," said Chancellor Rose Tseng. "I think the large number of students enrolled in the high school programs show that there is a tremendous interest in this area, which we need to address."
That task was made easier due to UH Hilo's previous ROTC experience. Because the courses from the suspended program were still in existence, they were able to win approval from the Faculty Senate's Curriculum Review Committee and Dean of the College Arts and Sciences in a timely manner.
Current plans call for faculty to fly in each week from Honolulu to conduct classes on campus Thursday and field activities at the Army Reserve Center on Friday. Initial enrollment will be capped at 20. The response from students will determine the program's future growth and direction.
Dr. Rick Castberg, who was involved with the previous effort and steered the courses through the approval process, believes the program has great potential. Although some have avoided the military due to the ongoing conflict in Iraq, Castberg says a military career has much more to offer than just combat duty.
"The military offers outstanding educational opportunities, including quality training in a variety of high-tech areas," Castberg said. "You could easily end up working in a highly skilled position for 20 years, retire with a lifetime income, medical coverage and other benefits, yet still be young enough to start another career."
For more information about the ROTC program, please call the UH Hilo Admissions Office at (808) 974-7414 or visit online firstname.lastname@example.com.

Two Wishes Xi
In the silence of the night Death descended from God toward the earth. He hovered above a city and pierced the dwellings with his eyes. He say the spirits floating on wings of dreams, and the people who were surrendered to the Slumber.
When the moon fell below the horizon and the city became black, Death walked silently among the houses -- careful to touch nothing -- until he reached a palace. He entered through the bolted gates undisturbed, and stood by the rich man's bed; and as Death touched his forehead, the sleeper's eyes opened, showing great fright.

Kolohe Andino followed in Keanu Asing's footsteps today, taking the Title in both, the Boys' Under 16 (ISA) and the Boys' Under 18 (ISA), divisions. The level of surfing was at an all time high across all of the heats today making it a very exciting day of competition.
The nailing biting began with the morning's Semi-Finals as local favorite Kanoa Igarashi (CA) bumped Jacob Davis out of the transfer spot in the Boys' Under 12 division with a buzzer beater. It continued through to the Boys' Under 18 (ISA) division when Conner Coffin (CA), who had been dominating the competition all week long, was knocked out by a strong come-back by Luke Davis (CA).
The Finals were equally action-packed with Kulia Doherty (HI) and Lulu Erkeneff (CA) going wave for wave during the Girls' Under 14 Final. They separated themselves from the other competitors early on and it was a close race for the Title. Ultimately, Doherty's 8.10 proved to be enough to hold Erkeneff to a second place finish. The Girls' Under 18 (ISA) was a similar story as Kaleigh Gilchrist (CA) took an aggressive lead early on, lost the lead to an equally aggressive Courtney Conlogue (CA), only to regain, and secure the Title with a power hook that earned her an 8.33 out of a possible 10 points with less than three minutes remaining in the heat.
The most eventful heats of the day however, were the Boys' Under 16 (ISA) and Boys' Under 18 (ISA) division Finals as all of the athletes in both held nothing back. In the Boys' Under 16 (ISA) Final the judges scored an unprecedented 38 waves as Conner Coffin (CA), Luke Davis (CA), and Parker Coffin (CA) were all relentless in their attempts to catch Andino who had taken an early lead with a huge air that earned him a near perfect, 9.33.
The last Final of day had everyone on the beach watching intently as Andino set out for a double shot of victory against Luke Davis (CA), Evan Thompson (FL) and Dylan Goodale (HI). All of the surfers were laying down huge maneuvers in an attempt to edge out the competition. Goodale launched a gigantic air 360 off the lip for a solid 7.5 wave score, but in the end Andino was simply on fire today, his hard work paying off with two very impressive results.

Dezider Gruenberger
Born: May 29, 1922
Kosice, Czechoslovakia
Dezider was the oldest of three children born to Hungarian-speaking Jewish parents in the city of Kosice in the southeastern part of Czechoslovakia known as Slovakia. As a young boy, he attended a Jewish elementary school. His father was a tailor whose workshop was in the Gruenberger's small apartment.
1933-39: After I finished elementary school, I entered secondary school with a view to going on to the university. The language of instruction was Slovak, and Jews faced no discrimination until November 1938 when Hungarian troops marched into southern Slovakia. With Germany's blessing, Kosice became part of Hungary and was renamed Kassa. Our new Hungarian rulers introduced anti-Jewish laws.
1940-44: I managed to finish my secondary education in 1940, but because I was Jewish I wasn't allowed to go on to the university. In 1941 the Hungarians interned my family because we were considered "aliens." Two years later, I became a forced laborer for the Hungarian army. I was put to work in the Carpathian mountains building defenses, mining roads, and carrying ammunition. A year later, when we heard that the advancing Soviet army was nearby, my friend and I took heart and escaped. We were hidden by a peasant.
Dezider was liberated near Munkacevo by Soviet troops on October 28, 1944. After the war, he returned to Czechoslovakia. He immigrated to the United States in 1968.

Lolita Hernando is one of the women in Lanao del Norte, one of the conflict-affected provinces in Mindanao. Her family has benefited from WFP assistance through a School Feeding Programme in partnership with the Department of Education and a livelihood project in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. She is 44 years old and has 7 children. She was displaced in 2008 during an upsurge in conflict, but has returned to her original home. We followed her for a day to see what has been keeping her busy lately!
When we returned home after being displaced in 2008, we had nothing to live on. But a lot has changed since then! Off to work. So much to do today!
We started planting mangrove seedlings in 2011. We have been able to sustain it, and we plan to continue growing them! With the income I gain from selling the mangrove seedlings I can help support our children and their education.
Speaking of education, I have to run off to my kids' school! Together with several other mothers, I am helping to cook lunch for the children.
No kid should go to school hungry. I'm glad they get a hot nutritious meal every day!
Helping out during lunch allows me to visit my children. I like hearing about their day in school.
After lunch, I join the other women in our new enterprise. The income we earn from our mangrove project has allowed us to expand our activities. Here, we're weaving seaweed traps.
We dry the seaweed so that it can be sold at the market. For the drying we also use a solar dryer we received from WFP.
Back home after a long day of work!

Making invention accessible. That is the concept, the reason why a boldly purple company exists – to empower people to invent and to give great ideas a chance to come to life. This is the mission of Quirky, a rapidly growing startup in New York City, where I had the pleasure of spending my spring break.
Although I only spent a few days there, this Princeternship gave me a unique window into startup culture, leaving behind the academic rigors on campus and beginning to understand the excitements of the entrepreneurial world out there. Warmly welcomed by our Princeton alumni host Nikki Laffel Kaufman '07, and Suzannah Kerr on the first day, we were soon off, meeting people of all departments that are growing the company together.
I was exposed to a variety of departments I had never considered, ranging from design to sales to operations and more. Everyone was so passionate about what they were doing, so willing to explain and answer any questions, excited about the company, pumped about the future, and invested completely in their potentials and the power entrusted to them. People hung out in the kitchen, joked out loud in the main working space, laughed, thought, and through all of that – solved stimulating problems with creativity and focus. I caught a glimpse of the challenges each part of the company wrestles with and was more importantly, inspired by the confidence with which each person approached these challenges. Getting advice about everything from how to make the most of college to preparing for the life beyond, I learned not only about specific career paths, but also more broadly about the value of taking risks and jumping at opportunities that may take you on a path you may have never imagined.
My Princeternship experience at Quirky ended with my participation in their company-wide product evaluation meeting, a wonderful experience that exemplified collaboration and the openness of the Quirky company culture. My biggest takeaway from the people at Quirky is the notion that it is by going for the things we love and working hard at them that we give ourselves the opportunity to find a career where work does not feel like work. I learned that most specific skills can be picked up on the job so that it is really about pursuing your curiosities and developing the capacity to think and problem solve that can be applied anywhere. As an aspiring inventor and entrepreneur, I believe my experience at Quirky was invaluable and would strongly recommend it to any curious students. Many thanks to my hosts and Career Services for giving me this opportunity

Discussions On The Abolition Of Patents In The UK, France, Germany And The Netherlands, From 1869
from the a-bit-of-history dept
Of course, it shouldn't be a surprise to find out that such discussions didn't just take place in the Netherlands, but elsewhere as well. Via Stephan Kinsella and David Koepsell comes the discovery of a book from 1869 concerning Recent Discussions on the Abolition of Patents for Inventions, and covering examples of such discussions in the UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands (for what it's worth, Germany also had no patent system until 1877). The book's subtitle also notes: "With suggestions as to international arrangements regarding inventions and copyright."
The entire work has been helpfully scanned by Google, and since it's well into the public domain, can be displayed in its entirety. In fact, the book (quite interestingly!) has a "no rights are reserved" notice in the beginning. So even if it had been published more recently, it would have been considered in the public domain. Nice to see that even back in 1869 authors were willing to support the public domain by choice.
What's quite incredible as you read through the various letters, speeches and writings in the book is how many of them could fit into today's debate. Right from the beginning, the points sound similar to what the debates today are about:
The fact is, no one, I presume wishes to say that an inventor is undeserving and should go unrewarded. All that the opponents of the Patent system do say is, that the present machinery gives minimum advantage to the inventor, and inflicts maximum disadvantage on the public. Besides, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, the patentee is only a simultaneous inventor with a number of others, who lose their labour and ingenuity because one man happens to get in first....That sounds mighty familiar. Other pieces point out that patents are incompatible with free trade and, there are regular points about how independent or simultaneous invention is happening in most of these cases, rather than anyone "copying" ideas from one another. There's also a discussion on how patents create fuzzy boundaries, which make it terrible if anyone is comparing it to any sort of actual "property right."
The more you look, the more you'll find lines that sound so familiar:
We acknowledge that the man who first constructed a hut was perfectly right in making good his claim against those who would have deprived him of it, and that he was justified in vindicating his claim by force. He had employed his time and strength in building this hut; it was undoubtedly his, and his neighbours acted up to their natural rights and in their own interests in helping him to oppose the intruder. But there ended both the right of the individual and that of the community.There are plenty more quotes. Take a look through the collection and enjoy -- or be horrified that we're still having these debates 150 years later, and the situation has become worse, not better.
If this first man, not content with claiming his hut had pretended that the idea of building it belonged exclusively to him, and that consequently no other human being had a right to build a similar one, the neighbours would have revolted against so monstrous a pretension, and never would have allowed so mischievous an extension of the right which he had in the produce of his labour....
And if, in our day, imitation of an invention is not generally considered as guilty an act as robbery of tangible property, it is because every one understands the difference between an idea and a thing made or done.

Bityi (translating code editor)
From OLPC
Source-code editor with transparent native-language display
Almost all programming is done in programming "languages" based on English. These are really codes, much less than languages, with a limited vocabulary. Still, it's a significant barrier for other-language programmers, especially young ones. A modern computer, even a cheap one, would have no trouble doing transparent, real-time translation into the user's natural language. For instance, on disk you'd have python "if ... else...", but on screen, you'd see (and write) "si... sino..." (spanish).
Note that the problem is not quite THAT simple. It must deal not only with the keywords and the builtins of the language. It should have a facility for translating identifiers from modules also.
Current design thoughts...
are at Source-code editor with transparent native-language display/design.
Older discussion
has been moved to the talk page.
The word "bityi" is drawn from John Wilkins's 1664 artificial language. It is the word for language number 42 (bi-: discourse; -t-:5th of 9 subgenuses ; -yi: 8th of 9 subspecies): in Douglas Adams's world of the babel fish, this would be the Final Answer Language. Obviously, such a linguistically triumphalistic name is meant ironically: Wilkins's language is best known as the butt of one of Borges's intricate jokes, and the "final answer" of 42 is no good to anyone without a question. I hope that this project will be successful, but it can only avoid the pitfalls of previous Grand Linguistic Plans if it focuses on being as useful and unobtrusive as possible and NOT on being a total solution for everything.
Possible criticism
Several people with whom I have talked about this have voiced concern that this would mean that a programmer would be hamstrung by not learning "real" python (or other programming language), but the translated version. This is a valid criticism, but I have two responses.
- Most importantly, I intend this as a stepping stone, not as an end in itself. I expect users of this functionality to use it to help them to learn the English idioms, even if they continue to prefer to code in their languages. I also expect that as they get into programming, they will be more motivated to learn English for a thousand other reasons - more than they would have if learning (a few words of) English had been an initial hurdle.
- Secondly, I expect to make this a solid, useful, and ubiquitous enough functionality that, even though they will eventually have to learn to read English code and comments, they will never be forced to retrain their fingers to type 'if' in English unless they want to.
A proof-of-concept based on IDLE is coming along decently at the git tree for idly-develop: //dev.laptop.org/git/projects/idly-develop .
- Translation works and tested
- Adding / removing multiple dictionaries (in the future, for multiple files) seems to work but is not well tested.
- File IO for dictionaries is implemented for single files, work is underway to update it to use one file per language after the first two (english and preferred)
- Using the actual IDLE (with syntax coloring) in another language works, for shell and files. Currently the only dictionaries are spanish keywords and builtins.
- Dictionary changes with an open file are unimplemented.
- UI additions (tooltips and new menu items) are in process:
- Preference dialog changes are working
- one menu item which toggles the window from English to otherLang (this sometimes breaks the syntax coloring, currently.)
- Tooltips only for keywords, using mousein/mouseout. Does not notice when you move your mouse between two contiguous keywords - to me, not a problem.

Everyday responsibilities -- raising children, running a household, cleaning and cooking -- are a full-time job made all the more challenging by the stress of learning a new culture and language, supporting husbands in time-consuming ministries and reaching out to local believers in their own ministries.
And there's homeschooling, managing health scares, assisting children with learning disabilities.
These women power through these challenges daily and still manage to smile. But IMB missionary Olivia Brighton* says finding balance is not always easy.
Not smooth sailing
While still a teen, Olivia felt God giving her a passion to serve others overseas. After she met and married her husband Seth*, that passion became clear for both of them -- international missions.
After several years of seminary and the birth of their first child, the Brightons moved in 2004 to serve as missionaries in East Asia.
But Olivia and Seth's missionary career has been full of hurdles. They discovered their son has severe food allergies, made even more challenging by the limited choice of foods available in their city. Olivia spent a lot of time in the kitchen, and still does, "trying to figure out how to keep healthy and well-fed."
At the same time, Seth's work required significant travel in the surrounding mountains, mapping where the people group they hoped to reach lived.
"He loved it, loved it, and I was miserable, and that was really hard, specifically the first year, because I felt really lonely," Olivia says. " knew that I was struggling and he tried to help, but it's really hard to do that when you're having such a great time."
Olivia admits that first year she often thought about leaving East Asia, but knowing she would be disobeying God kept her there.
The main thing
The Brightons made it through that rough first year, settled into their ministry and expanded their family: Marcus*, now 10; Daisy*, 8; and Jared*, 2.
Olivia tried to find balance with her own ministries but her main focus never wavered: "Most of my time is spent with our kids." She began homeschooling as the children came of age.
She soon realized Marcus was struggling with school. In second grade he could read the entire book, "The Wizard of Oz," and answer questions about the story, but "he literally could not write a sentence," Olivia says. "He would fall in the floor crying, wailing."
The Brightons discovered that Marcus suffers from a language processing disorder. Olivia decided to change her homeschooling format to a more classical form of education, which involves narration, dictation and copy work. The positive transformation in Marcus was significant.
With so much time spent at home, Olivia has been diligent about finding other ways to serve. She often invites foreign ministry partners, colleagues and national believers to her home.
"That has been good for me to be able to use the gift of hospitality in that way, and I'm thankful for that because it would be really easy to be like, ' is our private space and this is our sanctuary,'" Olivia admits. "And it's hard, but I'm really thankful that I do see that as a spiritual gift and that I've been able to use it that way."
She also works at building relationships with national believers and their wives. She and Seth have done premarital counseling with some couples and Olivia disciples local Christian women. "It's a real friendship and not just, 'OK, you're my target group, so I'm going to be your friend' kind of thing."
Miraculous healing
Another hurdle for the Brightons was when Jared, their youngest child, was hospitalized at 9 months with a respiratory virus that infects the lungs and breathing passages. But the virus wasn't their only worry; they were concerned because Jared wasn't moving as he should -- he couldn't even roll over.
After a number of tests, Jared and his family were soon on their way back to the U.S. to a well-known children's hospital. But the waiting list to get an appointment was between eight months and one year. Once again, God answered -- one of their ministry supporters called a hospital connection and got Jared an appointment with three doctors, one of whom was the head of his department.
Even after more testing but without a solution, the Brightons returned to East Asia. Olivia decided to take a physical therapy course and practiced on Jared, which seemed to help improve his movement. At 10 months, he could sit up. At 15 months, he was finally able to stand; at 16 months, he started walking.
By the time Jared was 21 months old, his motor skills were completely normal. During a doctor visit, Olivia was told that he's now advanced for his age, "and I fully believe the Lord did a miracle and healed him. There is no other explanation."
Holding the ropes
Olivia's life as a missionary hasn't been exactly what she expected. She and other missionary friends quickly realized their roles looked very different depending on whether they were single, married without kids or married with babies on their hips and toddlers around their ankles.
"You still have to keep a house ... and you have to keep your family fed and you need to keep routine as much as possible because children thrive with routine," Olivia says.
Though at times it's difficult not being on the "front lines" of ministry work, Olivia knows that her work at home and with the children is essential.
"It's not always easy to see it this way, but the Lord has reminded me that couldn't do what he does if I weren't holding the ropes for him, just like we have to have people in the States holding the ropes for us," Olivia explains. "... Because , the Gospel is getting out in other places."

Moore completely transformed my identity as an artist, and my identity as a leader and contributor in society. With the help of the sharp and rigorous faculty I worked with, I was able to see painting as a completely new form of logic and problem solving. I was encouraged to not only challenge my perception of the visual, but to conceive ideas in an interdisciplinary form. This is essential to the Moore experience; with a small community created by individuals charged by the prospect of new possibilities, scheduling time to discuss your work with a faculty member from any major, or sharing a painting class with a Fashion Design student, becomes vital to strengthening your creative practice.
The leadership opportunities Moore offers are unique and significant to every student that avails themselves to this aspect of the college. There is an empowering energy that refuses to define or create one type of leader. The training and development that I received by being a Emerging Leader in the Arts Scholar and a Residence LIfe staff member was profound and effective. I gained invaluable knowledge in professional strategies by working directly with Moore administration and leaders in the Philadelphia community, as well as learning how to think globally with the Sis Grenald International Travel Fellowship.
The future of Moore is exciting, because of its continuous goals to be an innovator in the art and design world. I would advise prospective students to be ready to participate in positive risk-taking in their work, and how this work will contribute to the world around you. Moore is a place for those ready to be proactive and passionate about shaping their vision.

When last we saw Chris Jericho in wrestling mode, it was 2005 and he was getting his ass hauled out of a building by security. Ejected after losing a "You're Fired" match to John Cena.
And while Jericho -- Y2J, the King of Bling Bling, the Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla and the Sexy Beast all rolled into one -- believes he can once again rock the wrestling world, he's not ready to return yet.
"I never said I was retired," says Jericho over the phone. "After 15 years with no serious injuries and wrestling at such a high level, I needed a break. I was burned out. So I took myself out of the game before I was forced to take a break."
It's not like Jericho hauled his ass over to the beach, pulled up a lawnchair and searched for the meaning of life. He stayed busy ... very busy. There was a world tour with his rock band, Fozzy. There was a TV pilot for the USA Network (it didn't get picked up). There was an XMSatellite Radio show, Rock of Jericho. There was Opening Night, a play in Toronto last summer. There was Celebrity Duets, where he sang alongside Lee Ann Womack and Peter Frampton. And there was A Lion's Tale, the memoirs which, for four or five hours a night, he poured his heart and soul into (the book should be on shelves in October).
"I'm very close (to the book)," he says. "I lived these stories. It's almost Stranger in a Strange Land meets wrestling.
"I took a page from Walk the Line, which focused on a certain phase of Johnny Cash's life. The book is the whole journey ... it ends when I get to WWE."
Jericho is trying to get back into that wrestling zone.
"I have to be there 100% mentally as well as physically," he says. "Mentally, I was completely fried.
"I don't think (my return) will be happening anytime soon. But at least I've gotten into the groove of being a wrestling fan again. I've gotten back into watching wrestling ... RAW and TNA.
"From the day I left, they called. WWE, All Japan, New Japan, NOAH, TNA ... I would not want to come back and trash my legacy. It's kind of good when a character leaves. It's like a cheap hooker on the street. If you see her every night, it tarnishes the legacy. And that's what I was heading towards.
"You can't become a parody of yourself. There will always be a place for Chris Jericho. I could go back tomorrow and cause the same ruckus I did three years ago."
Jericho says he plotted his own WWE departure.
"I never wanted to be loved as a heel ... if you are, it's mission failed. What better way for a heel to leave than to be carried out kicking, screaming and crying. I would rather be the biggest baby coward.
"It's a lot easier to make people hate you than like you. But when they start to like you, it's hard to make them hate you again ... it's another one of my special powers.
"It's a tough job. I don't feel bad about walking away. I wanted to spend more time with my family. The other wrestlers know I'm lurking out there ... I'm kind of like wrestling's Santa Claus .... I can tell who's good and who's bad."
Jericho got a hoot out of a Winnipeg Sun April Fool's joke last year, a ruse that had him run for the leadership of Manitoba's Progressive Conservative Party. But he says he has no real political aspirations.
"I've been a politician for years in wrestling ... and I'm not very good at it. I tend to speak my mind."
Oh, and one more thing, since the Jets left Winnipeg, Jericho has become a huge Calgary Flames booster.
"I'm an Iggy (Jarome Iginla) fan," he says.
- Here are the results from last Sunday's Royal Rumble: The Undertaker won the Rumble, with Shawn Michaels the runner-up (Edge and Randy Orton were also in the final four); The Hardy Boyz beat MNM; Bobby Lashley beat Test; Batista beat Mr. Kennedy; and Cena beat Umaga.
- Cena and Michaels won the tag titles on RAW, beating Edge and Orton. Speaking of RAW, it was raining money, thanks to Donald Trump. Thousands of dollars fell from the ceiling, with fans grabbing bills as high as $100. This could be building toward a Vince McMahon-Trump showdown at Wrestlemania. McMahon put on a great performance and the power walk reached new heights of hilarity as he stormed out of the ring.
- UWA has a great event cooked up for Feb. 10 at 8 p.m. at the Legion Royale in Gatineau (231 Maloney Blvd W). Lined up: Kobra Kai vs. Dino; Caster McFear vs. Daytona Beach Bad Boy Jason Cage; Tyler Logan vs. Virus vs. Chris Rage vs. Player Uno (four-way match); Max Alexander vs. Dave Titan; She Nay Nay vs. Portia Perez vs. Mystery Opponent; Maxime Boyer vs. John Runnels; and James Champagne vs. PCO (2-out-of-3 tables match).
- RWE will host Lost Aggression Feb. 10 at the Carleton Place Arena Hall. Matches include: MVP Michael Von Payton vs. Quinson Valentino; Drake Styles vs. Pierre Khoury; Frank "The Beast"Bradley vs. Prophet; Misty Haven vs. Danyah; Rahim Ali vs. Don Payson; Prodigy Zack Storm vs. Jay Fenix; and Ryan Rush vs. Xtremo.
