NEW YORK–Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defended casting doubt on the Holocaust, denied there are gays in his country and questioned if Al Qaeda was behind 9/11 during a tense appearance at Columbia University.
University president Lee Bollinger, in turn, yesterday accused the hard-line Ahmadinejad of behaving like "a petty and cruel dictator."
The Iranian leader smiled at first but appeared increasingly agitated, later decrying the "insults" and "unfriendly treatment."
Bollinger and audience members took him to task over Iran's human-rights record and foreign policy, as well as Ahmadinejad's statements denying the Holocaust and calling for the disappearance of Israel.
"Mr. President, you exhibit all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator," Bollinger said, to loud applause.
He said Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust that saw the Nazis kill 6 million Jews might fool the illiterate and ignorant.
"When you come to a place like this it makes you simply ridiculous," Bollinger said. "The truth is that the Holocaust is the most documented event in human history."
Ahmadinejad rose, also to applause, and after a religious invocation, said Bollinger's opening was "an insult to information and the knowledge of the audience here."
He gave a speech that dwelled at length on science as a gift from God and the importance of using knowledge and learning purely and in a pious way.Asked from the audience about the Holocaust, Ahmadinejad replied: "I'm not saying that it didn't happen at all. I said, granted this happened, what does it have to do with the Palestinian people?"
He then said he was defending the rights of European scholars, apparently referring to a small number prosecuted for denying or minimizing the Holocaust.
Asked about executions of homosexuals in Iran, Ahmadinejad said the judiciary system executed violent criminals and high-level drug dealers. Pressed specifically about punishment of homosexuals, he said: "In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country.''
With the audience laughing derisively, he continued: "In Iran we do not have this phenomenon. I don't know who's told you that we have this."
Ahmadinejad, in New York to address the UN General Assembly today, reiterated his desire to visit Ground Zero to express sympathy for victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks – officials have denied his request – but then appeared to question if Al Qaeda was responsible.
"Why did this happen? What caused it? What conditions led to it?" he said. "Who truly was involved? Who was really involved and put it all together?"
Security was tight at the hall holding around 700 people, 80 percent of them students – dozens of whom wore T-shirts saying "Stop Ahmadinejad's Evil."
Bollinger had been strongly criticized for inviting Ahmadinejad to Columbia. The strident and personal nature of his attack on the president of Iran was startling.
"You are either brazenly provocative or astonishingly uneducated," Bollinger told Ahmadinejad about the leader's Holocaust denial.

President George W. Bush told Fox News Channel that Ahmadinejad's appearance at Columbia "speaks volumes about really the greatness of America," and that, if Bollinger considers Ahmadinejad's visit an educational experience for Columbia students, "I guess it's okay with me."
Other politicians on Capitol Hill disagreed, including Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell who accused the university of "handing a megalomaniac a megaphone."
Ordinary people protested too, with thousands jamming two blocks across from the United Nations and dozens more at Columbia, where many linked arms and sang traditional Jewish folk songs about peace and brotherhood.

Sizzle or swirl your way to these DIY dining hall hacks
Campus is coming to life as we get back into the swing of a brand new semester. Whether you're still in the midst of recovery from the conclusion of syllabus week, stressed about the rising prices of school textbooks or just happy to be back in Hub City, sooner or later you'll probably find yourself bored (and hungry) at your local campus dining hall.
Gone are the luxurious summer days of familiar home-cooked meals and walking down to a packed pantry full of snacks. But no worries—Inside Beat has you covered. We've prepared some simple but delicious do-it-yourself dining hall recipes that will add some variety to your routine and spice up your day!
DIY Waffle Panini
Sandwiches are one of the easiest and most convenient options at the dining hall. However, with limited options at the deli line, we've come up with a solution that puts a little spin on the classic sandwich.
Introducing ... the waffle panini! We all know waffles are traditionally a staple of breakfast, but this recipe will satisfy your cravings at any given time of day.
Use the waffle maker at the dining hall to start building your unique masterpiece. Split your waffle into two or four pieces, treat them like pieces of bread and add ingredients in between!
For example, if you're on a health kick, we recommend adding hummus, olive oil, spinach, tomato, onion, turkey and peppers for a tasty brunch option. On the other hand, if you're in need of calories or, in other words, "gains," try chipotle sauce or spicy mayo, lettuce, tomato, cheese and bacon or salami. For a quick breakfast option, try a waffle panini complete with peanut butter, strawberries, bananas and chocolate syrup!
When you're finished with all the ingredients on the waffle, pop it in the panini press for the traditional flattened look of a real Italian panini. Or if you're a fan of the fluffy waffle texture, bring it to the deli line to get toasted to a lighter crisp!
DIY Ice Cream Soda
For an extra-fancy dessert, try creating your own ice cream soda. This recipe packs a lot of flavor and is easy to create. Fill a glass three-quarters of the way with your favorite bubbly drink, and top it off with a swirl of soft-serve frozen yogurt. Some of our favorite go-to combinations include Ginger ale with vanilla yogurt or Cherry Pepsi and chocolate yogurt. For even fancier options, try Fanta and vanilla for a creamsicle flavor or Sprite and strawberry yogurt for a strawberry-lemonade twist.
Be creative with your toppings — we suggest marshmallows, sprinkles, almonds, crushed Butterfingers or any other selections of your choice. You can also just enjoy the refreshing, bubbly dessert by itself. It's the perfect way to relax after a long day of classes.
Even when the dining hall offers mundane options, you can enhance the experience with fun, new do-it-yourself recipes!

Community Renewal is working in partnership with Community Enterprise and Dundee Social Enterprise Network to deliver the Our Place Initiative for the community of Douglas in Dundee.
Douglas and Angus (commonly referred to as Douglas) is an area of Eastern Dundee built in the 1950s. It is located between Whitfield to the North and Broughty Ferry to the East. Local industry is dominated by the distinctive Michelin Tyre factory and there is a relatively good range of small shops, community facilities and residential accommodation
What is Our Place?
Our Place is a different way of investing Big Lottery money based around local people being in control. People who live in a place are the best people to come up with a vision for their own community and what they want to see happen there. The aim of the Big Lottery's programme is to build stronger connections and relationships in Douglas, empowering local people and organisations to lead on projects that will make this a better place to live and work.
How Does It Work?
The approach is flexible, and lasts 5 years. It focuses on the great things that are already happening in Douglas and will try to build on those to make this an even better place to live.
As well as possible funding, there is also lots of help on the ground to develop the skills and confidence of local people and organisations in Douglas. The support in Douglas is delivered by Community Enterprise, Community Renewal and Dundee Social Enterprise Network who are all here today. The focus of the support will be about getting lots of local residents involved working towards a single vision for the area. At that point detailed projects will be developed and existing or new groups can apply for Our Place funding.
Since this initiative commenced in August 2014 we have found and trained a group of Community Connectors, delivered over 300 door-to door listening conversations, produced a baseline report, asset map and a vision of the community.
A vision for Douglas
"Our vision is that Douglas will be a strong, beautiful, empowered place that local people feel increasingly proud of. Larger numbers and kinds of people will get involved, will want to stay here, will work here and will bring up their families here."
Three over-arching themes have emerged
For more information on Douglas, including the asset map and vision statement go to the Resources Section of this website

Andrea was called to her eternal home on Mother's Day, May 10 2009, after a six year battle with breast cancer. She was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother to three beautiful girls, the favorite teacher of most of her 7th grade English students, and friend to so many. She was such a powerful presence that her absence will leave a void in the lives of those who know and love her.
I've known Andrea since third grade, and we became good friends in 9th grade. Through the years, she's been a huge part of my life. She was a bridesmaid in mine and Bobby's wedding, and the three of us rented a house together for awhile. She insisted that I take a pregnancy test and held my hand while I waited for the result when I found out I was pregnant with Sunshine. I was a bridesmaid in hers and Laith's wedding. She read the scriptures in mine and Bear's wedding, and she made our wedding cake. She's hosted baby showers for me, been at the hospital when some of my children were born, been at our baptisms and First Communions, birthdays, and other special events. Our children have grown big together.
Although she had undergone several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, a lot of us were convinced that she was invincible. She never let it slow her down. She still was teaching class and visiting with friends a couple weeks ago. It was a little over a week ago that we discovered that it was time to say our goodbyes.
This past Wednesday night, she had a bad night and was in a lot of pain. The hospice nurse had said that if she continued to decline as rapidly as she had so far, then she would have about 2-3 days left. I was distressed, unable to sleep, and I wound up driving to a nearby Perpetual Adoration chapel in the middle of the night. I prayed in front of the Blessed Sacrament--Mother Teresa's emergency novena and all 20 decades of the rosary.
While I was there praying and crying out to God for a miracle, a question came to me. What if Andrea had just won a trip to some beautiful, exotic location, free from all care? Would I be so distressed, begging for her to stay HERE? No, I would send her off with great joy, excited for the opportunity that she's been given, maybe even a little envious of her good fortune. I realized that the journey she was about to embark upon is greater than anything earth could offer her. I would have been happy to see God work a miracle for the sake of her young daughters, or in the hope that some of her unbelieving loved ones would be converted. But at that time, I came to be at peace with sending her off on her journey.
Siobhan, Donnita, Sandy, and I visited her on Thursday. She had always said that she wished she could get Sandy, Siobhan, and me all together at the same time, but it never had worked out. I was afraid that after the night she had, it was going to be too late for her to enjoy all of us being there together. But I was wrong! She wanted to put on the new pajamas that her grandma brought her, get in the wheelchair, and sit at the table with us. She was able to eat a couple bites, drink a little, and take her medicines. Although she seemed confused at times, she knew who we all were, and she seemed very happy to see us. She would turn and look at each of us at different times, smile her beautiful smile, and reach out to hold a hand or give a hug. Once she went back to bed, she slept very deeply for the rest of the afternoon. She actually seemed more happy and at peace than I've seen her in a long time.
There are times when I don't think we've had enough time to adjust to the fact that she really is leaving us, but at the same time, I'm glad she didn't have a long, drawn-out period of suffering. And I'm thankful for the time we had with her. I'm thankful that I had the opportunity to pray a rosary with her during her last week here. I thought she was asleep when I sat down beside her to whisper the prayers, but then she reached to hold my hand. I could see her lips moving in prayer along with me at times, see her trying to keep track of the prayers on her fingers at times, and occasionally she would open her eyes and smile at me. What a blessing that memory is to me! (If you are wondering...no, she wasn't Catholic, but she loved the rosary just the same.) I'm thankful that her friends were able to give her a good send-off and let her know how much she was loved. I'm thankful that her last moments were surrounded by loving family. I'm thankful that her family had time to prepare for her leaving. I'm thankful that she is reunited with her youngest sister, whom she missed so much. I'm even a little envious that she actually got to see our Blessed Mother on Mother's Day.
I will miss visiting with her at the girls' ballgames, spending lazy afternoons at the pool, those increasingly rare occasions when I could catch her on the phone to chat. I will cherish all the wonderful memories I have of her. The night we went running barefoot through a freshly plowed field enjoying the feel of the dirt on our feet. The time we both drove 30 miles in the middle of the night to meet each other halfway at a gas station so we could visit in person. Sitting on the front porch swing sharing a bottle of White Zinfandel at 3:00pm (the whole bottle!), listening to the Doors, waving at the passing cars. Floating lazily in the lake, singing terribly. Long phone conversations about motherhood, God's grace in our lives, lessons we'd learned.
I will always love Andrea and miss her while I am here on earth, but I am so thankful for the hope of being reunited with her someday.

Feature #9264
Live View Overlay Controls
I've noticed that there are no options for adjusting an overlayed images blending mode strength or any blend if parameters, these features, combined with the ability to resize and move the overlay image, would make for a killer professional tool. I know I'll be using them ;) Thanks for the hard work!
#1 Updated by Tobias Ellinghaus over 7 years ago
- % Done changed from 0 to 20
- Status changed from New to Triaged
Short technical explanation: the overlay isn't processed by the darktable pipe and it isn't using the "real" blending, it just looks like it. Under the hood it uses only cairo for its drawing. I guess we can add a transparency slider for good measure, not sure about blendif though.
#2 Updated by Chris Nuzzaco over 7 years ago
Can cairo recognize alpha channels? That would probably be one of the best solutions since I could create a perfectly isolated png and not have any issues with the foreground being transparent. Resizing is also very important. Sometimes you need to take a shot from a longer lens and put it into a wider angle shot, but to do that correctly, it needs to be downsized. Being able resize and reposition would make it very powerful for commercial shooters who are often in a position dealing with that sort of thing.

Paid a visit to the Ida Kar exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery today. Worth seeing if you are interested in the artistic, literary and bohemian milieu of London in the 1950s and 1960s, as I am. One photograph in particular caught my eye - the caption referring to a coffee house I hadn't heard of before: The Farm at 14 Monmouth Street, run by Brian Robins (1928-1988) and his wife Susan.
When Brian Robins met Ida Kar and her husband Victor Musgrave he was apparently working as the last lamplighter in London; he was also a self-taught sculptor, who later became known for his kinetic sculptures. According to the catalogue (NPG No.68) The Farm was a short-lived coffee shop in the basement "which became a meeting-place for young artists and poets after the couple opened it on 23 June 1959. As well as selling coffee, its aim, according to Robins, 'was to show works which the commercial galleries would not show…I felt that art freed from the purse strings would give it more scope and personality.' Robins showed work by Gustav Metzger, Roger Mitchell and Susan Bryan. The last exhibit before the closure of The Farm in May 1960 was Robins' painting machine, which produced a picture every twenty minutes.'"
Robins also helped Metzger publish the first manifesto of Auto-Destructive Art dated 4 November 1959 in which it was stated that, 'Auto-destructive paintings, sculptures and constructions have a lifetime varying from a few moments to twenty years. When the disintegrating process is complete the work is to be removed from the site and scrapped.'
From 9-30 November 1959 Metzger exhibited 'Cardboards' a series of 'pictures' made from cardboard boxes; he was interviewed by the Daily Express which published a story the next day with the headline, 'Bearded man trips over a box and finds a new form of art…IT'S PICTURES FROM PACKING CASES' (Museum of Modern Art Oxford 1999 catalogue pp24-28)
In December 1962 Metzger delivered a lecture/demonstration at Ealing Art College with slides and film entitled Auto-Destructive Art, Auto-Creative Art: The Struggle for the Machine Arts of the Future. One rapt member of the audience was art student Pete Townshend who acknowledged the effect of the lecture on his thought and later went on to play out his own auto-destructive art through his guitar smashing antics with the Who.
The artist went 'on strike' for a number of years (if only more would follow suit - Stewart Home was another fellow 'striker' for a time) and disappeared from view (although he would regularly come in to where I work) before being 'rediscovered' by a new generation.

This garlic rub is great for chicken, pork, lamb, or vegetables. It can also be mixed with butter and spread on bread, then cooked on the BBQ for a great herb and garlic bread.
Place the lemon zest (fresh or dry) into a small Kilner jar. Add the Herb de Provence, Garlic, Pepper and Salt, close the lid and shake to combine. Then reserve until needed.
Cook's Notes
You don't need to dry the lemon zest, but it's a good idea, as this will make the rub last longer. Wash and dry the lemon, then carefully use a fine grater to remove the top layer of the skin. You only want the flavourful yellow part of the peel. Avoid grating the white pith because it makes the taste bitter. Transfer the grated peel to a flat dish, cover loosely, and leave it overnight, or until the grated peel is completely dry and coarse.

The vision for the project: The steering group, with and for the benefit of the Carluke community, will secure the long term future of The High Mill by returning it to a working state. The group will establish a working and extended High Mill as a key centre of cultural, economic and educational activity in Carluke, ensure it is supported by a sustainable business model, and help raise the profile of Carluke, and pride in its Heritage, through the activities it undertakes.
A detailed options appraisal was completed near the end of 2013, and presented at a public meeting in April 2014. The report may be found via a link on the Strathclyde Building and Preservation Trust website. This report analyses the potential regeneration of Carluke High Mill and the ongoing purpose of the Mill to create employment and have a focal tourist attraction in the town, and for it to be run as a sustainable social enterprise where profits are fed back into the business.
Consultation was carried out in Carluke and current ideas of the potential future use of the Mill includes; Café, Shop including locally produced food, Space for Carluke Museum, Market Garden and Allotments for Community Groups, Educational space for Art Groups, Music groups etc., Wedding venue. A wide variety of potential uses have been put forward and as the project progresses then a more detailed business plan showing analysis of the long term survival and sustainability will need to be completed.
The Trust would like to acknowledge and confirm our appreciation for the contributions and detailed work carried out Strathclyde Building and Preservation Trust and the architect John Sanders from Simpson and Brown, Edinburgh. It is the information they have collated that has opened up our discussions and gained support from various National Organisations.

Your cart is empty!
Love the reel. I'm a sucker for bargin steelhead tackle to keep with my backup rod or second rigging. Was able to fit 150 yards of backing, rio grip shooter ( pretty thick shooting line) airflow gen2 skagit 510 and 12 ft of t11 perfectly on this reel.
Great reel for the price. Simple to use. Nice drag system.
Smooth great price point for the product.
I recently purchased these reels. After years of using other manufacturer's reels, these reels are solidly built. The reels have large arbors allowing enough backing and line to put a variety both integrated lines or shooting line and heads. While I cannot speak for the Spey Purist, these reels will be used for catching Strippers, Salmon and Atlantic Salmon.
I changed the reels pickup directions from left to right with Mark's Guidance. It is reasonably simple. But does require care. Let the gang at the shop do it for you.
The prices of reels has become astronomical to the point of scary. After 57 years of fly fishing, I think this is a great value in a large arbor reels, whether you use as a backup or as your primary reel.
Absolutely awesome reel! Very smooth, lightweight, great drag - and priced less then a fly line!! What a deal. Mark and his crew continue to amaze me with the deals they find.

Be inspired by well-known Swedish designer Maria Westerberg's creative Akusto One installation.
Akusto One is our new series of flexible sound absorbers in smaller dimensions, all 40 mm in depth. With Akusto One you create innovative designs and patterns on the wall, which you can vary with white or grey painted edges. It is available in different sizes, shapes and in a variety of colours, making the cretive possibilities almost endless!
Akusto One product pagE
Characteristic for Akusto One is the focus on both design and flexibility. It's easy to combine the different sizes, shapes and colours to create the right atmosphere. Akusto One is available in both the Texona and the Akutex™ FT surface, which offers a wide range of colours. It is also possible to print on Akusto products. However, to maintain optimum acoustic properties we recommend you to contact a knowledgeable local printer for advice.
Texona Colour ranGE
Akusto One is part of the Ecophon Akusto™ family. The Akusto range consists of three different kinds of vertical sound absorbers, all of them with great acoustic properties. Akusto is the perfect complement to an acoustic ceiling in environments where a full covering ceiling isn't sufficient on it's own to create a good sound environment. But it's also great to use as a creative design element.
The complete Akusto range
Using Ecophon 3rd generation glass wool means that Akusto panels are very lightweight but at the same time roubust, which makes installations easy and effortless. There are three different ways of installing Akusto One:
Connect One trim is a metal list that you screw to the wall. The ends have a cut out V-form. They act as holders for two Connect Absorber anchor one, which are screwed into the backside of the panel.
Connect One fixing is an easy way of mounting Akusto One panels. Screw the holder to the wall, cut a hole in the panel and thread it onto the holder. Secure the panel with a knob that comes in multiple colours.
Connect One hook fixing is a metal plate with two hooks. Screw the plate to the wall, then press the panel onto the hooks. Round and square 600 mm panels require only one Connect One hook fixing, all others require two.
Watch installation video
A collection of inspiring images from various projects using Ecophon Akusto™ products.
In certain premises, a wall-to-wall sound-absorbing ceiling on its own is not sufficient to create good acoustics.
Saint-Gobain Ecophon develops, manufactures and markets acoustic products and systems that contribute to a good working environment by enhancing people's wellbeing and performance. Our promise "A sound effect on people" is the core backbone of everything we do.
Ecophon has business units in 14 countries, delegations in another 30 countries worldwide, and approximately 750 employees. The head office is located in Hyllinge, just outside Helsingborg, Sweden. Ecophon is part of the global Saint-Gobain Group.

Some good old-fashioned idiosyncrasy from Concretism here. For Concrete And Country synthesises much of the Great British oddball lineage - the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Ghost Box Records, Public Service Broadcasting etc. - with a newly-resurfaced Cold War paranoia. It's the aural equivalent of a day out in Dungeness. The fact that the artwork was done by Richard Littler (the brains behind Scarfolk) only adds to the sense of strangeness.
Staff note from Clinton:
It's literally music for our customers, this. We've done really well with the last two releases but from what we've heard so far this one could be even more down your street. Lots of Boards of Canada references (obviously) but also John Carpenter, nuclear war, and horrible grey buildings. Just like the one we work in.

- For Concrete and Country by Concretism
We've just been listening to the most Boards of Canada record ever. I mean, when does something go beyond pastiche and into identity theft? Luckily putting the Concretism record on has been a breath of fresh (if dour, grey and monolithic) air. Concretism of course has elements of the Boards of Canada influence but matches it with other synth driven sounds to create a more unique squelch.
The opener here 'Black Special' is an absolute corker, you'll love it. Classic pounding synth work, a melody to kill for and the usual dystopian overtures that mark the music of Chris Sharp as more than just a soundalike. There are enough analogue synth sounds here to fell a horse. On the brilliantly titled 'Unspecified Radiological Incident' this means Kraftwerk-ian bloops and a wandering melody that takes a few listens to give you exact directions of where it's headed.
Like the previous 'Electricity' the aesthetic here is just right and a lot of it sounds like themes to 70's information films. A lot of the time some of this obsession with creating the past for nostalgia nerds gets my goat but I think Concretism handles it well and the key to doing that is great tracks. Like 'Electricity' there's a bunch of them here. 'Waiting, Watching' is particularly resourceful in channeling different kinds of synth sounds without everything becoming samey. It also had a great melody plonked on top which helps.
"Wonky / broken cassette / 70s information program type stuff" said one of our customer reviewers of a previous release and this sums it up. Excellently made though with a fine eye for detail.
9/10 Eric 4th May 2018
Hadn't heard of Concretism until they were mentioned in the weekly newsletter. This album is terrific. So good, I have it both in hi-def digital and the LP. One of the few instances when it's essential to have both. Highly recommended.
8/10 Les 4th May 2018
Being able to remember when public information films were often broadcast meant that on my first listen to Concretism's, For Concrete and Country I had images of black and white footage of a country getting ready for the worst! However we all can sleep safely in our beds because this album is full of heavy synths, dubby beats and understated melody. As a point of reference I would place Concretism alongside Public Service Broadcast/Air but what Concretism is so good at is painting an aural picture of times past/in the future and evoking a sense of authoritarian menace, but never bleak. So, I am not stocking up emergencies supplies for the bunker just yet because I want to keep on listening to this album!

Mutually Assured Distraction from this 'Boards of Canada meets John Carpenter, Uptown with Rockers in a Stockpiled Nuclear Bunker', electronic delight.
By the time side one had finished, I'd taken down all our downstairs doors and fashioned a rudimentary Government approved bomb shelter (music can do strange things to you). What the excellent 'For Concrete and Country', won't make you do though, is put on tweeds and a bow tie and turn you into the kind of 'Dr Who Assistant', you wish could have had a giant radioactive maggot inserted where the Tardis don't shine.

Buffalo Router Inc. has been making high-quality routers for years. Buffalo is a brand that now operated under MELCO Group of companies. The Buffalo GN router is from the WCR series. The WCR-GN comes with 16Mbs of RAM and operates at speeds up to 300 Mbps with Wifi Bands 2.4 GHz. The router comes with one WAN port and 4 ETH ports.
The buffalo WCR-GN makes for a great router that can be used for high-speed gaming. You can even set features like web-based filtering and the ability to set parental controls. We have written the below article keeping in mind the issues faced by users who face issues with login into the router. Also for users from US & Canada, you can dial the buffalo customer support 1888-274-1968 and get your issues fixed.
Prerequisites To access the default login gateway of Buffalo WCR-GN:
- A system connected to the home Wifi (Buffalo)
- A personal computer where you can access a browser
Steps to Login to Buffalo WCR-GN Router
Step 1: Open the web browser
To begin the process of logging in to the router, you need to enter an IP address in the search bar/URL of your browser. The IP address for Buffalo router ls 192.168.11.1, you can also click on this link: http://192.168.11.1 to directly open the default gateway.
Step 2: Enter the default Username and Password
If the IP address is correct for your router, you will get the login screen where you need to enter the username and password. If you are operating the router for the first time, then use the default username and password, else look for the box of Buffalo WCR-GN for the default credentials.
- Default Username: root
- Default Password: blank
PS: We found the above username-password combination was correct in 70% cases.
Step 3: Setting up the Buffalo WCR-GN Login Details
Since the default username and password is so easily available, one can fiddle with your router so It is always recommended to change the default username and password to make the router secure from any suspicious login attempts.
Tips to change your username and password:
- Your password should have a mixture of alphanumeric characters and special characters
- Your password should be 8-16 characters long, complex yet easy to remember
- Username should be user-friendly and simple
- Username and password for Huawei router needs to be written down somewhere
Step 4: Change SSID for Buffalo router
The different wifi names that you see inside the network tab is called SSID or service set identifier. By default, the name that appears is of the brand which manufactures the router so in this case, you may see the SSID as Buffalo-G-XXXX or Buffalo-A-XXXX. You should change the default name because if you don't then it will be easy for anyone to guess your details.
- Make the SSID short and simple
- Don't make it very fancy as it may backfire
- Don't use any personal information to set the name of your router
Step 5: Secure WCR-GN router settings
Inside the default gateway, see for the encryption settings of your network. You need to set the encryption to WPA2-PSK which is the current industry standard. It ensures that your router operates at the best security level possible.
Solutions to Issues of Netopia 3347-02 router
1. Buffalo WCR-GN Password Doesn't Work
The default password is the word "admin". In case it doesn't work then most probably you or someone may have changed the default password. The fix is to reset the router. Press-and-hold reset button for 30 seconds.
2. Forgot Password to WCR-GN Router
First of all, try hard to remember or find the paper where you have written the password. If you don't find anything then you may try to contact the ISP or Xfinity forums and see for a different set of default password to be used. If nothing works, try doing a reset for your router.
3. How to Reset the Buffalo Router To Default Settings
The process is simple. Press-and-hold the reset button for 15 seconds.

Product description
At first, Dylan thinks she's the only survivor of the train wreck. Wrong – she was the only one to die. And the handsome boy on the deserted Scottish hillside where she's pulled herself free is no ordinary passerby. Tristan is her ferryman, tasked with guiding her through the wastelands that lead to her afterlife. But as the pair journey together through the dangerous wraith-infested zones, they fall deeply in love. When they reach the other side, Tristan promises to cross over with Dylan, but when she steps across the threshold and turns back, he isn't there. In order to be with him, she must return from death and traverse the dangerous wasteland alone in an epic journey that no one has ever made before.

What's the adjective for London? London-y? London-ish? Years ago, I would have been able to intuit this, or at least know how to find the info, but I am getting rusty. Talking to my best friend recently, I told him that I was not only having a hard time figuring out lots of words, I also wasn't able to determine "good Google words" for them. Later in the conversation, I remembered that the phrase I should have used is "optimal search terms" and chastised him for letting my poor language skills slide.
Regardless, here's some stuff I got from London when my family hopped the Channel, er la Manche, this summer.
- It's Only A Movie, by Mark Kermode
- The Good, The Bad and the Multiplex, by Mark Kermode
- M&S Chocolate Mini Bites
- M&S Chocolate Brownie Mini Bites
Kermode is the film critic for the BBC's "flagship film programme," the podcast of which is the highlight of my week. His latest book just came out, but I'll be waiting for the paperback because I really dislike hardcovers. (For the record, they're heavy, uncomfortable for in-bed reading, big, generally cumbersome.)
The M&S stuff weren't requests, but I do love local junk foods, so they were interesting to try. The Mini Bites were fancier, mintier versions of Ho Hos, a Hostess product I'm not crazy about, so an elevated take on them seemed kinda silly. The brownies were pretty good, though they were on sale because they'd passed their sell-by date the week previous. To M&S's credit, they actually did taste a little stale so they presumably use fresh-ish ingredients and not all chemicals. These might be worth taste-testing again.
But, wait! There's more!
→ The words that describe the people of a place are called demonyms. The US, with its odd state names, has some good ones.
→ If you want a primer on Mark Kermode (pronounced KERH-mode), check out this great compilation of his best rants. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I lovelovelove the one for TRANSFORMERS 3. It's got some of the best Mark-made soundeffects.

One way in which Houston is a more equal place than anywhere else
Hint: It has to do with race.
We've gotten a lot of new ways to look at economic inequality since Occupy Wall Street made it into a national conversation back in 2012.
Most of the ways you look at it, Texas doesn't fare very well. The state is the eighth most unequal in the country, using the most credible measure of income inequality. It's got both the city with the highest proportion of upper-income people in the country (Midland) and also the greatest share of low-income people (Laredo), according to the Pew Research Center.
But there's one metric by which Houston is actually the most egalitarian city in the country, we learn in a report out today from the Brookings Institution, a think tank in Washington D.C.
It has to do with racial equity. Brookings looked at a type of young person who's been the object of great concern in policy circles lately: So-called "disconnected youth," or people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are neither employed nor in school. Youth employment rates have sunk precipitously over the past decade, and increases in school enrollment haven't kept up, so there are now a total of about 3 million under 24-year-olds who fit the description. That's concerning, because disconnection early in life can put people at a big disadvantage down the line.
Looking at just the prevalence of disconnected youth between 2012 and 2014, Houston is middling; 5.1 percent of kids aged 16-19 are neither working nor in school, and 10.5 percent of young adults aged 20-24. That's a lot lower than the percentage in places like McAllen, Texas, but a lot higher than it is in Boston and Des Moines.
The place where Houston really shines is in how young people of different races fare. Nationwide, black and hispanic kids are disconnected at much higher rates than white kids. In Houston, those ratios are lower than anywhere else: For people between age 20 and 24, 1.75 black people is disconnected for every white person, and 1.5 hispanic people for every white person.
That's still a substantial gap. But it's quite a bit smaller than what it is in other big cities like Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington D.C, New York, and Los Angeles, where the ratio ranges as high as seven disconnected black young adults to every one white young adults.
So why is Houston so relatively egalitarian in how young people spend their time? Martha Ross, a Brookings scholar who wrote the report, wasn't sure.
"My hunch is that cities with larger racial disparities are more likely to have histories of stronger racial segregation over time, and maybe also have higher levels of concentrated poverty," Ross says. "Maybe it's related to Houston's different history and more recent growth – it never developed the entrenched racial segregation that Northern cities did after the great migration."
It's true that in contrast to some northern cities, most of Houston's population arrived after the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. But although racial segregation has lessened in recent years, Houston is still far from an integrated city, so it's doubtful that's the primary cause.
Ross also mused that perhaps Houston has more jobs that don't require college degrees, which would help more young people of color find work -- but Houston is pretty average in that regard. And although Houston was booming in the time period measured in the report, which might suggest more opportunity for everyone, youth employment rates were just as low as the national average.
Maybe, then, it has something to do with education. Charter schools got a head start in Houston, most notably with the KIPP network back in the 1990s. Founder Mike Feinberg says his schools in the city have closed achievement gaps in their own classrooms, and also outperformed schools with whiter, wealthier student bodies. One Harvard study suggests that adopting their techniques may have helped boost test scores for students of color at traditional public schools as well.
"We do not have paradise on earth, but relative to any large urban area in the United States, we're doing a much better job for traditionally underserved kids," Feinberg says.
Of course, it's important to focus on absolute levels of disconnection as well as the gap between different demographic groups, and Houston still has work to do in that regard. But there's also something to be said for relative equality, whatever might be causing it.

Webster Griffin offers packing solutions for aquaculture
Webster Griffin, based in Crowborough in East Sussex, have been manufacturing equipment for packing fish feed and Salmon food into all types of bags for over 20 years.
Their open and consultative approach means that they benefit from customer feedback, enabling them to continually innovate and update their technology. Webster Griffin strive to develop bagging solutions which, owing to the remote, inhospitable marine locations of most fish feed factories, must pump out production around the clock with minimum down time.

Other Media | Packaging News: Cepac registers fish and shellfish pack with the IPO
Thursday, July 16, 2020
Cepac's corrugated cardboard composition pack for fish and shellfish has been formally registered with the Intellectual Property Office.
The Chiller Pack was developed for Scottish Shellfish by the transit packaging team at Cepac's Rawcliffe site. The design is said to allow for dry transportation of fish and shellfish, to avoid the fresh produce sitting in water, which can compromise freshness. Traditionally, fresh seafood is transported in expanded polystyrene (EPS) boxes.

Thursday, July 16, 2020
The United Kingdom and Singapore were the only two bright spots for pangasius exports from Vietnam recently, amid downturns in other major markets, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) last week.
From 1 January to 15 June, the pangasius exports were worth USD 612.3 million (EUR 538.4 million), down 29.8 percent year-on-year.
Exports to the top 10 markets for pangasius, except the U.K. and Singapore, saw a negative growth in value in the period. The value of the exports to the U.K. was USD 28.6 million (EUR 25 million), 7.1 percent higher year-on-year, and the export value from Singapore was USD 18.5 million (EUR 16.3 million), up 5.7 percent year-on-year.

Wednesday, July 15, 2020
Es una victoria para Sea Shepherd. Esta ONG, especializada en la preservación de los océanos, ha conseguido que el Gobierno francés sea condenado por su falta de protección de los delfines frente a las actividades pesqueras en el Atlántico, consideradas responsables de la muerte de cientos de estos mamíferos marinos protegidos, atrapados cada año accidentalmente en las redes.
Así pues, en una sentencia de 2 de julio, el Tribunal Administrativo de París consideró que el Estado había «retrasado la aplicación de medidas concretas en vista de los episodios recurrentes, desde el decenio de 1990, acentuados desde 2016, de exceso de mortalidad de cetáceos en la costa atlántica, en particular en el Golfo de Vizcaya», incumpliendo así las obligaciones que le incumben en virtud de la legislación europea.

Wednesday, July 15, 2020
Climate change and unsustainable practices are threatening seaweed farming in Tanzania, an industry that employs over 25,000 farmers, of whom around 80 percent are women. To help address these challenges, The Nature Conservancy is partnering with Cargill, local governments and researchers to empower communities through increased productivity, environmental training and mentorship.
Along the Tanzanian coastline, seaweed aquaculture is an important industry to coastal women and also serves as an alternative livelihood to overharvested local fisheries. However, Tanzanian seaweed aquaculture has been stagnating recently, due to issues that include changing water-quality conditions and poor seedstock.

Actually, every man has heard about the things we girls have to cope with, often on a daily basis. But for males they are just words, and what lies behind these words remains shrouded in mystery. How can men imagine what amount of trouble and strife goes into being a woman? What they see is the result of sooo much work and care… Well, let's get down to the inside information. Here's at least 16 issues that bring worry into women's lives, and it would be instructive for men to read and see whether they understand them realistically.
Annoying, embarrassing, painful, all of them need to be dealt with quickly and efficiently. So, upon reading the list, you men may find that you began to appreciate more the work behind being a good woman?
1. Thread to the face
You take a cotton thread, twist it and get rid of every hair, no matter how short. Long and painstaking work, but it pays in the end.
2. Pubic perfection
Men are all right with their hairy nether parts, but the latest fashion demands that our vaginas should be absolutely stubble-less. Well, it does look better, doesn't it? Hair just looks out of place there – and far less sexy.
3. When fake tan goes wrong
This one can be a major disaster! A messy sensation all over the skin, stains on the bed sheets and clothing that are impossible to get rid of, and, what's more, a streaky tan that requires measures taken as soon as possible. LOTS of trouble.
4. A dazzling smile
Go for professional teeth whitening or stick a chemical whitening goop to the teeth? The result will be gratifying, but the teeth get highly sensitive and may hurt at the slightest provocation.
5. Faultless nails
Oh, when the face, the tan and the body look fine, did you really believe it is the end of the road? No, it's time to get armed with a file and nail polish and get down to keeping your talons shapely and beautiful.
6. Delivery
The ability of giving birth is wonderful and fulfilling, but first you get 9 months of bearing and then about 20 hours of labor, and what it actually means can hardly be explained to the male of the species…
7. Getting the nipples clean
That's a bit of a problem because the amount of body hair that you eventually see is a mere fifth of what it was meant to be – that will help you assess the amount of cleaning work involved!
8. Stalking is creepy
Walking about the city after dark is much scarier for women – it always seems that someone is following or lurking around. Life is pretty frightening, and you feel you can't go out alone…
9. Photoshopping your pics to perfection
It's hardly imaginable that there was a time when you didn't do anything to your photos. You put up with – or had to put up with – being yourself. And there was some man for every kind of woman. It all came naturally. But no more these days: we have to be finely sculpted, beautiful and generally fit. So, digital retouching is what you can no longer do without – and a lot of it!
10. Acne breakouts
And then you wake up in the morning and see that it is here: the pre-menstrual acne has broken out. And there's nothing you can do about it. And you know it will happen again and again.
11. Carrying the b*tch tag
Still that sexism going around that when a man is authoritative, it ought to be taken in your stride, but when a woman tries to lay down the law she acquires the moniker of an imposing stupid cow. Doesn't seem to be very fair, eh?
12. Groping isn't fun
Women feel to be victims of transport gropers – any time anyone who is impudent enough can try something, so you have to keep the guard up. What a drag, really.
13. Keeping up with the trend
What about the need to look after a certain well-defined fashion? On the one hand it is a bore, on the other we are sooner pro than con. Anyhow, all this puts a great pressure on the wallet, apart from the bother it takes.
14. Lower salaries
Now gender pay gap is a real put-down! The latest statistics reveal that women's salaries run to a sum lower than men's ones by more than $ 8,000 on the average. Remarkable, isn't it? So, no matter how hard we go at it, we will be underpaid anyway – nice to know!
15. Living under spiraling hormones
Yes, we're living with all these changes ever occurring inside ourselves, having to shift noiselessly from one emotion to another without any warning. Moreover, there's no-one around to understand and sympathize with that. Why won't you do that, chaps?
16. Periods, periods
It has been all right just a few minutes ago, and then it's upon us – the next period. It descends on us at any moment, very often at an inconvenient moment – at work, in company, at a public place. Lucky are those who have no complications and whose periods are on the milder side…
