New Technology Improves Radar Detectors
Dwelling in a hyper-related logistics business, it is hard to establish the types of new technological advancements that will take place to reduce the associated fee and time of huge enterprise houses. "These networks evolve themselves by way of generations and make themselves smaller to be able to survive in these environments," said Mohammad Javad Shafiee, a techniques design engineering research professor at Waterloo and the know-how's co-creator. Candidates for FY 2010 must submit a formal request, together with a full description of the scientific functions of the technology and the results of any clinical evaluations demonstrating that the brand new know-how represents a considerable scientific improvement, along with knowledge to display the technology meets the excessive cost threshold.
For applicants for new technology add-on funds for FY 2005 and forward, we established the criteria that might be utilized to assess whether technologies can be inadequately paid beneath the DRGs the lesser of seventy five {b6542550bb2cc24097ae0adaff87369d98bf0385ff614c3329d40507c9113f9a} of the standardized amount increased to reflect the difference between costs and expenses (based mostly on the nationwide case weighted price-to-charge ratio) or seventy five percent of 1 customary deviation (based mostly on the logarithmic values of the costs and remodeled back to charges) beyond the geometric imply standardized cost for all instances within the DRGs to which the brand new know-how is assigned (or the case weighted common of all related DRGs, if the brand new technology occurs in many various DRGs).
Slow web speeds and the Internet 'rush hour' – the height time when data speeds drop by as much as 30{b6542550bb2cc24097ae0adaff87369d98bf0385ff614c3329d40507c9113f9a} – might be history with new hardware designed and demonstrated by UCL researchers that gives persistently high-pace broadband connectivity.

After storing a serial number or other identification data on the chip related to an antenna, user can use a reader to obtain radio waves from the chip and convert the sign into digital info, which could be passed over to computers and be used of. Because the technological phenomenon of social media takes place, new neural pathways are being created by a whole technology of predominantly younger people who find themselves placing their concentrate on digital gadgets as they textual content and connect with the data of the world at their fingertips.

For the last month or so, the blogosphere has been littered with Union Jacks and blue, white and red baked goods in preparation for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Well, the part of the blogosphere occupied by Commonwealth citizens anyway. Sharky Oven Gloves, I'm afraid, has been bereft of any Jubilee-related baked goods and blog posts though. Not because I don't want to celebrate, or I'm anti-monarchy (quite the contrary), but I quite simply haven't really had the time to do anything special. I don't think that the Jubilee has been that big of a deal here in NZ – the shops certainly haven't been plastered in bunting and full of Union Jack-themed everything as they seem to have been in the UK. I may just be out of the loop, but I don't think anything in particular was organised for the occasion either, aside from lighting a beacon in Blenheim (at the top of the South Island). Incidentally, it seems that every single other Commonwealth country had flaming torches to light their beacons with, whilst NZ made do with one of those standard gas lighters that you use to light the cooker (if you have a super old-school cooker). Something tells me that the Jubilee isn't that huge of a deal here. Perhaps there will be more excitement when Charles and Camilla visit in November as part of the Diamond Jubilee tour. At least it'll be summer (and thus hopefully sunny and warm), so that'll probably help enthusiasm levels.
The Sky Tower was lit up in blue over the long weekend – I don't know if it was supposed to be royal blue in honour of the Jubilee or if it was just a coincidence. Let's go with the first option. If they light it up in green for St Patrick's Day, I think they can make the effort to honour the Queen's 60 years on the throne. Whatever your views on the monarchy, you have to admit that's a heck of a long time to unrelentingly dedicate yourself to your country and be in the public eye, always expected to behave impeccably, not express any personal political opinions and represent not only the UK but a number of other Commonwealth countries, too, some with vastly different cultures to the UK. And apparently not to express any emotions except when it comes to corgis and horses (I love the monarchy, but I find that a little odd – keeping a stiff upper lip is all well and good but seriously, a little genuine emotion now and then wouldn't hurt, would it?). Of course, it's a role that she inherited, but over the last 60 years, I think she's shown her aptitude for it. Which is lucky – imagine having a monarch that clearly didn't give a rat's bottom for 60 years. I don't think anybody can fault the Queen for taking her duty very, very seriously. And for that I congratulate her – she is truly admirable, even if I find the non-emotion thing a little disconcerting (perhaps that's just my French side shining through… Awkward).
I would have liked to throw a Jubilee party this weekend, but I don't really know enough people here to do so, and even if I did, I wouldn't have quite had the time to prepare for it. I'd have probably organised an afternoon tea – because you can't possibly do anything more British than that. A proper afternoon tea, however, requires a heck of a lot of preparation, so it wasn't really an option. If you're going to do something, do it properly, particularly if you're celebrating somebody who has been the epitome of doing things properly and with great pomp and circumstance for 60 years. Last year, despite being within days of the deadline for my dissertation (of doom), I still managed to bake up some Pimm's cupcakes to nibble on in the computer lab during the Royal Wedding. This year though, whilst I don't have any impending deadlines (that I'm aware of…), I feel like I'm slowly sinking into a quagmire of physics that I don't understand. Physics which happens to be crucial to my thesis (despite it being a Marine Biology Masters) so it's really stressing me out at the moment. And impinging on my baking creativity, too, it seems, as I couldn't come up with a straightforward recipe that I deemed suitably regal for today's post. Yesterday was a public holiday for the Queen's official birthday in NZ, so I gave myself the day off and we went to see the Degas to Dalí exhibition at the Auckland Art Gallery followed by a trip to the cinema, but most of the rest of my weekend was spent reading about electromagnetic fields and electroreception, rather than throwing a Jubilee party. Usually when I say that I have my priorities right, I mean it ironically (because I usually don't), but for once, I actually did get them right (sorry Your Majesty – I hope that doesn't make me a traitor or something). The most Jubilee-related thing that I did was to drink tea out of my Jubilee-themed mug (don't judge the mug) and eat a couple of scones. Which isn't as sad and pathetic as it might sound – it's just the life of a postgrad student. Don't worry, contrary to what the photo might suggest, I did not lose the plot and plaster my flat or desk in Union Jack tissue paper.
So even if I didn't do anything special, I hope that you were able to and had a wonderful Jubilee weekend! Or a wonderful normal weekend, depending on where you are in the world and whether Queen Elizabeth II is your head of state.

I like Ellie Goulding. I think she has a cute voice. Do I think that she's a powerhouse? No. Do I think her music is good to listen to? yes. The first time I even heard of Goulding was when I heard her cover of The Weeknd's High for This, which I actually quite enjoyed. Then I found out that she was dating Skrillex for a bit there and I fell in love with her because….well I kind of Love Skrillex.
Burn is actually a really cute and inspiring song as it talks about self expression and why one should be who we are. Sometimes we are more successful at being ourselves and letting our fire burn than we are at being something else. We all have a fire, we just have to find it within. I love this song because it talks about individually and collectively finding our "Spark". It's kind of like Katy Perry's Firework…the message I mean. Also, its just a great song to dance to. I just love it. Its a replay ting.
P.S. This was my choice song for this year's Word on the Street festival in Toronto. Every year at this annual festival, I quote one song that has relevance to the way my day went. This was my song this year; it was obviously a good day. I got TTC Buttons.

Japan lover, Savan Gandecha tells us what it's like to travel to Japan with autism, and offers four top tips for other travellers.
My introduction to Japan
Having grown up surrounded by Japanese culture, the country has always fascinated me. I watched anime programmes such as Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z as a kid, and my geography lessons often involved watching videos on the country. I even had a Tamagotchi and Beyblades – both of which were banned at my school!
Travelling to Japan with autism
It wasn't until I was 26 that I was able to go to Japan by myself – I had health reasons, and was scared to travel outside of the UK. I knew my autism could be a potential barrier that would prevent me from travelling, but I overcame it by preparing myself mentally for venturing outside my comfort zone. I also planned what I was going to do each day and stuck to a budget (that I was well under by the end of the trip).
I'm used to hiding my autism, so I wasn't very open about it during my trip and not sure how people would react. In the end, I did tell some people who I made friends with and they said I was very brave to travel on my own.
I was based in Tokyo and Kyoto, and I travelled to Osaka, Mount Fuji and Nara during my two week stay in October 2016. My favourite moments were visiting Mount Fuji, going to Kyoto (especially the temples at night) and seeing Shibuya in Tokyo.
Although it was a bit of a sensory overload in Tokyo, my music stopped me from feeling overwhelmed. I also kept myself busy and tried my best to stick to the plan. Some things didn't work out in the way I had planned, but I dealt with them as calmly as I could without having a meltdown.
Vlogging about autism
During the trip, I did vlog my experiences, but it was difficult not to mention my autism. It is a huge part of who I am as a person, and it affects every decision I make; but I only opened about it in January 2017. The positivity and kindness of strangers was overwhelming; my friends were also very supportive and have since encouraged me to go back to Japan.
When I go back, I will be open about my autism. I'll also do something a bit different to those vlogging about Japan already on YouTube. My new videos will be an educational and eye-opening series to my fellow creators and audience, called "Autistic in Japan". I will also continue my current vlog series about living with autism whilst I'm there.
Food in Japan
As a vegetarian I didn't have much difficulty finding food in Kyoto, but Tokyo wasn't that easy. I used a combination of HappyCow and a document (in Japanese and English) given by one of my cousins who is also vegetarian. I handed the explanation in to each of the cafes and restaurants that also served meat and fish.
In both cities I had two favourite restaurants with great food and friendly staff. I have a problem with making sure that I eat properly, and aim to have a minimum of two meals a day with snack in between. It wasn't easy to do this but I am glad to hear that attitudes towards vegetarianism are changing in Japan.
I loved the food that I did try, including poke, matcha desserts, mochi, sushi and dorayaki to name a few. One of my favourites is pumpkin ice cream; I had it in Kyoto and really want it to come to the UK!
I do hope that the country will be more vegan and vegetarian-friendly by the time the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games arrive.
Would you go back?
Japan was a huge learning experience and I know what to do the next time I visit. After feeling at home in Kyoto, I would love to go back there.
I am quick at learning and adapting to new environments, so the Japanese way of life is something I could definitely get used to. I am also learning Japanese using apps such as Duolingo – with the goal of becoming as fluent as I am in English. It's a very hard language to learn, but just another challenge I can overcome!
Finally, I am planning to go back sometime next year, and even taking steps to move and work in the country. It is going to be difficult at times but I will make sure that people are aware and will ask for support when I need it.
Top tips for travelling to Japan with autism
1. If you are visiting a city such as Tokyo, do get an English version of the subway map; it'll help you plan the best route to your destination. You can find them at information helpdesks in the airport.
2. The toilets are unusual, and the traditional ones are a bit daunting. Hotels and restaurants have modern toilets, and you can unplug the toilets if you are scared.
3. Have a back-up plan and an emergency route back to your accommodation. It's helpful in case you feel very overwhelmed and experience sensory overload.
4. The subway is very reliable and on time. Follow the clearly labelled signs and don't worry if you miss one. The trains are quiet inside, so do not speak on the phone as it is considered very rude. Having headphones on is fine to block out the noise.
5. Although speaking Japanese isn't a requirement, basic phrases and greetings are appreciated very much. Have a phrase-book on you and Google translate.

Custom user providers to authenticate legacy passwords
We have a couple of legacy projects with user records containing passwords encrypted using SHA-1, when moving these projects over to Laravel, we want to attempt to authenticate using Eloquent first and SHA-1 next.
Defining Laravel Middleware from inside a composer package
I write everything inside of packages, install using composer and use Service Providers to hook things up. When you do things this way, you make it very easy to upgrade. However, you lose some of the magical, inherently solved problems.
My current setup (2018)
Jumping on the latest Laravel community bandwagon, I'm documenting the software and configurations I use currently to develop software at the end of 2018.
Define a custom collection for your Eloquent model
Many Laravel newbies don't know that you can customize the collection returned by a query, so they end up writing tons of after-query functions to wrangle their results. I know a better way.
Building a theme system in Laravel
Have you ever wanted to break away from the resources folder in Laravel and have different template themes for your frontend? The key to this is actually very simple. Let me show you.

Nearly 200 for-profit schools and college reap nearly all their funding from the federal government, thus violating federal rules on funding limits either outrightly or by exploiting a loophole, according to a U.S. Department of Education report issued this month"].
The federal government limits institutions participating in federal student aid programs to receiving no more than 90 percent of their revenue from such programs. The report by the Federal Student Aid Office listed 17 institutions, mostly vocational schools, exceeding that percentage. But the number would grow to nearly 200 if student aid provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense, through programs such as the Post 9/11 GI Bill, were included in the calculation.
To protect veterans from what it calls predatory practices by those schools, the Obama administration has proposed closing the loophole.
In audits of the 2014-15 school year, for-profit schools reaping more than 90 percent of total revenues from federal aid together received an estimated $8 billion in federal funds.

How To Survive Your First Pop-Up Sale
It's all in the preparation.
In this week's episode of Alone Together, Esther's quest to find the perfect lip kit lead to her dragging Benji to a pop-up shop. Get prepared for your own pop-up experience with our tips below.
1. Keep your expectations low.
We know that you want to run straight in and grab that limited edition, highly sought-after, prized item ... but so does everybody else. Keep your expectations low and everything you do bag will be a bonus.
2. Prepare for the worst.
Including a lack of facilities.
3. Check out your opponents.
They are savage. Don't forget it.
4. Be fearless.
Practice your 'don't mess with me' face...it could be the difference between a shade that doesn't suit you and one that does.
5. Get excited. Get very excited.
The adrenaline will help you in the mayhem. Everyone, get ready to scream in 3...2...1...
6. Bring emotional support.
You need to keep your head cool and your nerves steady if you want the best pieces.
7. Have a back up plan.
You don't just need a plan B, you need a plan A through to Q.
8. Make friends with those around you in line.
It might be good to have an ally on the inside.
9. Have multiple friends to hold your place.
But remember to bring them from the beginning -- pop-up shoppers do not treat cutters kindly.
10. Prepare for chaos.
It's going to be crazy in there.
How did you survive your first pop-up sale? Let us know in the comments below.
And remember, you can watch Alone Together episodes right here and catch new episodes every Wednesday 8:30/7:30c.

In my opinion, there's no place like San Francisco.
The colorful, charming buildings, the amazing food, the stunning views, the fun walks, the trolleys... what's not to love? The fact that this city is incredibly dog-friendly also adds to the appeal for our family. We've now been to San Francisco countless times, so we've decided to put together a list of our favorite hotels, restuarants, neighborhoods, museums, and activities for you. And voila!
The Buchanan: This hotel was extremely fun to stay in. Located in the beautiful Pacific Heights, the Buchanan was the perfect family-friendly hotel, with nice, clean rooms, lovely views from the balcony, and helpful staff. This hotel is pet-friendly.
Hotel Griffon: We've probably stayed in this hotel more than any other hotel in San Francisco. Why? Location, location, location. Hotel Griffon is located just across the street from the Ferry Building, home to tons of mouth-wateringly good food. As an added bonus, some of their rooms include huge outdoor balconies. The only downside is that this hotel is not pet-friendly.
Hotel Vitale: Hotel Vitale is also located across the street from the Ferry Building, but is pet-friendly. The hotel is beautifully decorated and incredibly nice, with a colossal rooftop deck that we ate take-out on nearly every night, enjoying the view of the sea.
The Palace: This is a really fun hotel to stay in during the Holiday season. Located in Union Square, the Palace Hotel is the place to be. This hotel is decorated fancily, but that only adds to the charm. An extra bonus: there's a Ghirardelli Chocolate shop located in the hotel, where you can get chocolate sundaes and more.
Our Favorite: Overall, Hotel Vitale is much recommended. It's beautifully decorated, has a fantastic location, and is dog-friendly. The staff were extra helpful and friendly. For families without dogs, Hotel Griffon can't be beat. Again, amazing location, decent price, nice, clean rooms, and friendly staff.
The Slanted Door: We've come to the Slanted Door nearly every time we've been to San Francisco. This Vietnamese restaurant has it all: amazing food, beautiful views of the ocean... what more could you ask for?
Pizzeria Delfina: Hands down my favorite pizza. Plus, they have fantastic meatballs, chicken, appetizers, and.... (drumroll, please) gelato.
Nopalito: We've eaten at tons of Mexican places in our lives, but Nopalito would have to be one of our favorites. Nuevo Mexican food mixed with a great environment makes this an irresistible choice for kids and adults alike.
Roam: My brother's favorite burger - which, believe me, is saying a lot. In the vein of ShakeShack, Roam has tantalizingly good burgers and salads. A perfect choice for families, especially considering the casual, fun environment of the restaurant.
Smitten Ice Cream: Many have said Smitten has the best ice cream in San Francisco. In my opinion, that's pretty hard to argue with. Famous for their corn ice cream topped with raspberry jam, Smitten has every type of ice cream you could ever imagine - and just a little bit more. Don't be intimidated by the unusual flavors, though; Smitten is an incredible choice for families.
House of Nanking: Santa Barbara is not exactly known for its Asian cuisine, so we always jump at the opportunity to eat good Chinese food. And trust me - House of Nanking has it.
Lers Ros Thai: Some of our all-time favorite Thai. A fantastic place for families, since the Thai food isn't too flavorful or spicy where it might intimidate kids. All the same, Lers Ros Thai has delicious Thai food that makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
The Grove: We eat here for breakfast often, since the Grove has amazing food and has a casual environment perfect for families. Plus, it's super dog-friendly, which is great for Tuesday, our new puppy.
Jane: Another great breakfast option. For parents, they have incredible coffee (some of my mom's favorite), and for everyone else, their pastries can't be beat.
Lolinda: At first, I didn't quite know what to think of Lolinda. I had never heard of Argentinian Fusion food, so I was eager to try it. And boy, am I glad I did. Lolinda has some of the most amazing food, although it may be a little challenging for younger children.
Our Favorite: Personally, I could live off of Pizzeria Delfina for the rest of my life, it's so good. In fact, it's a little difficult to eat any but Pizzeria Delfina.
Coit Tower: You've probably heard (or read) us talk about this lovely walk endlessly. But trust me - it's warranted. The fun, exciting climb up to Coit Tower is a must-do for families and wanna-be adventurers. The views at the top are breathtaking, and the scenery is astonishing.
Walk the city: This is what we spend most of our time doing in San Francisco. The quaint buildings (see above pictures), the fun hikes up the hills, the charming trolleys ocassionally zipping by... It doesn't get much better than that. This is a great way to see the city, much better than doing any tours. Exploring aimlessly is especially fun, because you end up discovering places you never would have expected to find (such as the walk up to Coit Tower).
Trolleys: Kids will love this short, exhilirating ride through the city. A must-do for families, due to the fun ride, the beautiful views, and the fact that it's another fantastic way to view the city.
Lombard Street: This famous street is well-worth the hike up its stairs. The views from the top are breathtaking, and the walk up is fun and exciting, especially for kids. A word of advice - don't attempt to drive down the street. We've tried this, and we ended up wasting too much of our day on it, due to the insane traffic. Walking is much better, especially since the neighborhood Lombard is in is lovely and offers amazing views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.
The Golden Gate Bridge: Walking across the Golden Gate Bridge is much recommended for families. It offers beautiful views of both the Bridge, the Harbor, and the San Francisco city, as well as being an overall fun activity. Like Lombard, driving across the Bridge doesn't make nearly as much sense, being that the traffic is so crazy.
The Ferry Building: This is more under the "Food" category than anything else, but my family and I really enjoy walking around the Ferry Building and browsing the shops and restaurants. Plus, it's located right on the edge of the San Francisco Bay and is a great starting place to take a taxi to before walking around Embarcadero Street.
Grace Cathedral: More for the astounding architecture than anything else. We're Jewish, but we still enjoy gawking at this beautiful Cathedral and walking around inside. It's not a destination place per se, but we still make sure to take a quick walk inside while in the area.
Telegraph Hill: Ever heard of the Parrots of Telegraph Hill? Yup - you can actually hear and see them. Our family took a huge delight in getting to watch these vibrant birds zip about over our heads. Young kids will enjoy this tropical-looking walk, as will older kids and adults alike.
Our Favorite: Walking the city has always been one of our favorite parts of our San Francisco trips. Goggling at the architecture, exploring the city by foot... what could be better?
(Note: We did not include Alcatraz on this list since we have never journeyed to Alcatraz ourselves, suprising as that may be. We've looked into it, and we've decided that, for our family, it doesn't make sense to waste a day on Alcatraz. All the same, don't let this discourage you from going if you believe it's important to you.)
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art: This museum just opened a few months ago, so we were especially eager to go visit it. And boy, am I glad we did. This Modern Art museum was incredible; not just the artwork, but the architecture of the museum itself. Highly recommended, but be warned that some of the art is a little heavy.
de Young: Another museum with an astonishing exterior (see above pictures, the Ed Ruscha sign one and the one above that). Aside from that, this museum has beautiful artwork with different exhibits every time we've been there - whether it be on Georgia O'Keefe or Ed Ruscha. As an added bonus, this museum is directly across the street from the California Academy of Science, so you can easily hit both in one day.
California Academy of Science: One of the best museums for kids I've ever been to. This museum is teeming with all kinds of interesting things, from an enclosed rainforest habitat to a green roof you can visit. A perfect museum for younger kids, but older children will enjoy this fun museum, too.
Exploratorium: Filled to the brim with things to spark a child's imagination, the Exploratorium is perfect for families. All four of us loved the interactive exhibits and had a really fun time, while we still learned a ton, too.
Our Favorite: The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art really can't be beat. It even could compare to some famous museums in New York City, which is saying a lot.
Pacific Heights: This charming neighborhood is the perfect place to take a walk. Teeming with great restaurants, quaint buildings, and shops, Pacific Heights is a wonderful place for families.
Japan Town: There's not a ton to do in Japan Town, but if you want Japanese food or to experience a taste of Japanese culture, there's no better place to be. We loved browsing the bustling marketplaces and getting a quick glimpse into Japanese culture.
China Town: Vibrant, colorful, busy, hectic China Town is super fun to walk through. The smells wafting from the amazing Chinese restaurants, the lovely buildings and architecture - plus, the overall excitement of this chaotic neighborhood - makes this a must-do neighborhood for people who are new to San Francisco.
North Beach: ... or Little Italy, as my family calls it. This is a nice, quiet place to explore San Francisco, with old, charming buildings and fairly flat land - an added bonus for families with young children looking to take an easier walk around the city.
Nob Hill: This is where we spend much of our time in San Francisco, traversing the steep hills to snatch a view of San Francisco Bay. There's tons of stunning architecture and small parks, making this neighborhood super family (and dog) friendly.
Hayes Valley: We don't often walk around Hayes Valley, but when we do, we have a great time. Hayes Valley is probably the most family-friendly of any of these places, maybe besides Pacific Heights, due to the many parks and flatter ground. Plus, some of our favorite restaurants (and Smitten Ice Cream) are located in this area.
The Embarcadero: We love walking from the Ferry Building up the Embarcadero to Coit Tower. This easy walk offers beautiful views of the Bay and goes right along a ton of mouth-wateringly good restaurants.
Ghirradelli Square/Fishermen's Wharf: We don't go here often since it's extremely touristy, but that far from makes it not worthwhile. Families will enjoy walking through this crowded area and browsing the shops, bakeries, and more. You can also rent bikes and bike along the less crowded bits of Fishermen's Wharf.
Union Square: This area is super fun to walk through during the Holidays. In the vein of New York City during Winter Vacation, Union Square offers ice skating, hot chocolate, and more irresistible holiday treats.
Our Favorite: I always say that if I had to move to San Francisco, I would live in Pacific Heights. The unbeatably good food, the charming buildings, and the cute shops... what's not to love?

A little bit about us...
We're a family of four (a daughter, a son, and their mother and father.... oh, and a six-month old Standard Poodle puppy). But we all share one thing in common: our love of travel and adventure!

Hotel of the Month
Solage Calistoga: the image of perfection. We stayed here recently on our trip to Napa Valley and couldn't have been more amazed at this stunning resort. The rooms, each one an individual cottage, were immaculate and private. The property itself contained multiple pools and other amenities, all of which were designed beautifully. One of our favorite parts had to be the Michelin-star restaurant, which served some of the best food we'd ever eaten. Solage Calistoga was the perfect fit for our family (and dog!), and we are eager to stay there again.

South African politics reached a near-miraculous high point under Nelson Mandela, with a much-wronged political leader putting self-sacrifice into practice to lead the whole nation out of its Apartheid mire. His party, the ANC, has been trading on that capital for 20 years, and rightly so. However, that goodwill has been exploited so ruthlessly in recent years, with one corruption scandal after the next, and catastrophic failures of entire provinces, that many of its supporters have become disillusioned and have stopped voting, or have given their vote to the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA). The ANC seems to be genuinely concerned by the ground they've lost, because more than ever, the political tactic is to brand their opponents as racist, even with all the evidence to the contrary.
The best recent example involves the DA leader Helen Zille's remark on Twitter that people flocking from the ANC-run Eastern Cape province to the DA-run Western Cape in order to find proper schooling are 'education refugees'. The migration has been happenning because of scandalous corruption and mismanagement of schooling in the ECape, which has brought it to the brink of collapse. The department managed to spend only 28% of its budget in the face of incredible need, compared with the WCape, which spent all of theirs. Instead of public discussion raging about this awful deprivation of the right to education in the ECape, certain sectors began decrying Zille's fairly innocuous metaphor ('education refugees') as racist. Our country has now spent a whole month pretending to be shocked about that statement, while the near-fatal pillaging of the ECape by its leaders is hardly an issue.
In the Papers Today
In this morning's Star, the front page reports on Patric Mellet (a senior Home Affairs official) who spewed a deeply offensive rant on Facebook about Zille's supposed racism.
The Star quotes him as saying:
The Devolved Apartheid Party (DA) are now really going back to their roots… Zille everyday more and more sounds like PW Botha… the skew mouth, the wagging finger, the voice with the wry smile and pregnant pause, and the Apartheid talk about alien refugees flooding into the White-Coloured Labour Preference Area… wow… this closely follows her Butcher of Hangberg orders to deal ruthlessly with opposition resulting in 'the shoot the eyes out of protesters' action by kitskonstabels.
Mein Fuhrer Helen Zille motormouth does not cease to amaze with her cloned NP style.
The DA really have become the Devolved Apartheid Party. How she justifies her racist rants just deepens the foot in mouth disease. PW Botha has risen from the dead. She really does him proud.
Now let's see on what the comparisons to Hitler and Apartheid villain PW Botha are based:
- finger wagging
- pausing and smiling while speaking in public
- 'Apartheid talk about alien refugees flooding into' the Cape
The first two points are shameful in their own way. The argument is, 'Hitler used standard public-speaking techniques; Botha used standard public-speaking techniques; Zille uses standard public-speaking techniques. Therefore Zille is a hateful, racist Apartheid psycho.'
Zuma and Malema use the same rhetorical techniques when they speak, so are they also returning to Apartheid politics? Of course not. It is a ridiculous, cheap ploy to transfer similarity in one area (physical appearance) to other areas (political ideology) without any relevant evidence.
So what about the evidence?
The last point has the appearance of evidence, but again, it is misleading. Mellet clearly believes that Zille's statement was motivated by xenophobic hatred for refugees, because he's spewing this on Facebook, not in some political point-scoring forum. But he's believing his own party's spin on words that she herself never said ('alien refugees flooding'). In fact, Zille herself explained a week ago on the party's newsroom page what her not-very-unclear refugee metaphor means:
That brings me to the matter of the "education refugees", which is how I described the thousands of learners who arrive during the course of the first term in Western Cape schools, because their right to education has been betrayed in their home province, the Eastern Cape. These learners accounted for 44% of all new registrations, from Grade 1 to Grade 12, in Western Cape schools this year. This student migration is the major reason we are undertaking an emergency school building programme to complete 45 new schools within our term of office (while the Eastern Cape spent a paltry 28% of its infrastructure budget last year). The difference is clear: We treat all children as full, legitimate South African citizens and we respect their right to education. The ANC does not.
This is the real scandal. But it was buried by the eruption of pseudo outrage about the word "refugees" – which was conveniently uncoupled from its qualifying noun "education". Very soon it became "self-evident" that I had referred to all black people in the Western Cape as "refugees". And, of course, this was irrefutable "proof" of my "racism".
In other words, the idea that the DA is opposed to the presence of ECape people was drummed up by those trying to make her look bad. She herself was describing the ECape like a warzone from which people must flee (hence 'refugee'), and pointing out that they are in the process of building new schools so that they can serve these people. Her concern is for the worrying state of the ECape and the shortage of schools in the WCape as a result. There is no mention of the undesirability of the people in the slightest. Generally, if you want to prevent refugees from staying in your land, you don't accommodate them. And generally, if you're trying to be a racist and keep a certain group beaten down, you don't educate them. I don't know why the ANC doesn't care about educating people in the ECape, but Zille and her ilk are the ones trying to improve their lot. What a freaking racist she is (that's sarcasm, if you're bad at metaphor and irony).
So Mellet, a person acquainted (I hope) with metaphor, context, and the DA Newsroom website, should have had no trouble differentiating between what Zille said and meant, and what spin doctors have said about it. The fact that he even complains about her attempts at explaining, when he clearly needs the explanation, is even more horrifying.
So What?
One of the online comments to the Star article thought that this was just a case of name-calling of the sort that takes place all the time in politics. He said:
it funny dat helen zille can call President Zuma names but when it happens to her people must be fired.
Name-calling is always regrettable, and Zille is obviously not always impeccable, but there's a difference between name-calling and attempting to sow racial hatred by likening someone to an Apartheid monster. The latter is slander, and it might even qualify as racial incitement and hate speech (a British student was imprisoned for racist joking on Twitter recently on these grounds).
One way or another, it is yet another instance in a long line of ANC accusations of racism in the DA, when the evidence is uniformly to the contrary. If you say something enough times, people will start to believe it, and it seems to be the weapon that the ANC is employing to attempt to discredit their opposition, who have an annoying habit of not running provinces into the ground. But if the ANC is having to drum up racism that isn't there, then who is the one guilty of Apartheid divisiveness?
This tactic seems to me to be an attempt to bring back the divisions of 20 years ago so that it can once again be 'the ANC against the racist oppressor'; it is an attempt to restock Nelson Mandela's political capital without having Mandela's integrity. And sadly, if some of the comments on the Star article are any indication, it is working.

It was Sunday March 8 that the Relay for Life fundraising season offocially begun. At 10AM, close to 150 avatars had gathered at the two sims RFL Kickoff and RFL Kickoff2, both which were south of the permament American Cancer Society sim. This year's sim. This year's theme, "The Future is Now." This marks the eleventh year the Relay has taken part in Second Life.
The landmark I was given took me to a spot some distance away from the stage. Getting there required me crossing a lightbeam bridge. Then approaching the stage.
Over the radio, Trader Whiplash of T-1 Radio would stream inspirational songs and speeches. "Everyone's been busy, we have 134 teams ... Registration Day's been something of an event in itself." And in the audience were various members of those teams. I counted about 140 avatars in the two sims, and someone stated the number at one point was 170.
On the stage were the members of the 2015 Committee. There were a few new faces on it.
"Another change is ACS Island," we heard on the radio. There had been some changes on it, which Gemma wrote about in her story about the location. Places about Breast Cancer and an International area would be added in the future.
A number of teams for the Relay were represented at the Kickoff. For the Sunbeamers, the team of the Sunweaver Estates where the main Newser office is located, there was me and Cynthia Farshore.
The Newser's DrFran Babcock was there representing the Relay Wizards for Spunky.
Gemma Cleanslate was also there, though under a Relay-wide title.
There were a number of noted Relayers present such as the Dark Unicorn Avariel Falcon.
So were Panza and Bain Finch.
IshtarAngel Michaeline, the official Relay photographer, was there in an orange tiger neko look, instead of her normal white.
Wildstar Beaumont, sporting his team's flag.
Noted blogger Daniel Voyager was also there (click here for his article).
There were many others there, some standing out in their own way.
The captain of a Klingon Team.
Over the radio, Stingray talked about a number of things, such as the radio sponsors which began appearing last year, ""whatever we did last year, it was good enough so they came back." Also listed were some accomplishments by those doing cancer research over time, such as new treatments and new ways to test for cancer earlier and more accurately. There were also improvements just for the quality of life, "We've created a world in ... where so many people survive cancer, it's not if but when you survive." Overall, the survival ratio has improved from 1 in 10 to two in three.
Also mentioned was how much has been done by the Relay for Life's chapter in Second Life, having raised $5,000 USD in it's first year to over $400,000 last year. Then came someone singing "No Time Like Now." Finally, the season was declared open with the list of teams, large and small.
Besides the kickoff, there were other events that weekend, plus the exhibits on the track around the kickoff stage. Those will be in the next article.

Iran UN envoy: World must be vigilant against future genocides
Iran says the international community must be vigilant towards halting future mass killings and genocides.
Iran's Ambassador to the United Nations Gholamali Khoshroo made the remarks on Monday while addressing the UN General Assembly's meeting on "Responsibility to Protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity."
"The Islamic Republic of Iran fully shares the sentiment that the international community must be vigilant not to let the horrors of mass killings and genocide of the past be repeated in the future. No one forgets how the inaction on the part of the United Nations in the face of tragic cases of genocide and crimes against humanity as well as outrageous acts of aggression in the last two decades led to the death, injury and displacement of millions of innocent people," he said.
Khoshroo further went on to criticize the UN Security Council for its lack of political will and action towards crimes against humanity.
"The authorization by the Security Council should not be understood as a carte blanch for committing new atrocities. It also goes without saying that the Security Council is not free to selectively opt for authorization of use of force in cases consistent with the will of its Member States and turn a blind eye on clear situations of mass atrocities as we have witnessed in the past and we are currently witnessing," he added.
"The Security Council is thus bound by well-established principles of international law and should respect sovereignty of States and their independence and action to prevent mass crime atrocities should be seen as a last resort and once all efforts to take effective measures at the national level have been exhausted," he added.
He further stressed that concept of responsibility to protect has become a political tool for interventionist policies to be used in a selective manner.
The UN envy noted that the illegal use of force by certain states is a obvious example of the abusive of well-established rules and principles of international legislation.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran insists on the primacy of well-established principles of international law as enshrined by the UN Charter in all circumstances. We hope that any discussions on the issue will be done with an effort to prevent any future abuses of newly emerging concepts such as what we have witnessed in the past about some of the provisions of the UN Charter," he noted.

Once you've saved some vehicles, you can view them here at any time.
When it comes to affordable and fuel-efficient transportation, there's still nothing better than a compact car. They tend to get overlooked a bit in the current "crossover-crazy" market, but smart shoppers still look at a compact vehicle as a smart financial decision.
While there a wide variety of compacts available on the market, we're of the opinion that none beats the Nissan Sentra. If you're looking at Nissan's compact superstar and have made the determination that a pre-owned model is the best buy for you, we've got good news!
Our New Braunfels, TX Nissan dealership carries a variety of pre-owned Nissan Sentra models for shoppers in the Texas Hill Country community. A pre-owned Sentra is already an incredibly affordable car on its own, but when you add our Nissan store's deep discounts, the savings reach a whole new level.
Plus, if you're in need of financing for your used Nissan Sentra purchase, we've got you covered there, as well. Many Nissan shoppers are under the false impression that you can't get a competitive finance rate unless you're purchasing a new vehicle. That's definitely not the case at Nissan of New Braunfels.
We save you money with our low used car prices AND incredibly attractive used car rates and terms. The savings, however, don't stop there when you buy a pre-owned Sentra from our Texas Nissan dealership. Nissan of New Braunfels also offers you some of the highest trade-in values in the region.
Check out our inventory of used Nissan Sentra models and then let us know you're interested in hearing about any special offers we currently have available. We'll make sure you get our best used Nissan Sentra price at Nissan of New Braunfels located at 2077 I-35 North New Braunfels, TX 78130.
It's not an exaggeration to say that the 2017 Nissan Sentra is one of the most unique compact cars available on the market. Why? It's simple.
The 2017 Sentra offers a rear seat and trunk that provides the kind of space that rivals many midsized sedans. That's right. This little car is big – really big – on space. That, however, is not the only reason why the Sentra stands tall in the compact car segment.
Nissan enhanced the exterior of the Sentra in 2016 giving it a much more upscale look compared to previous generation models. There's also the price factor to consider. It's very affordable when you buy it and, of course, when you drive it due to its superior fuel efficiency.
The 2017 Sentra is available in five different trim levels:
All 2017 Sentra trims with the exception of the SR Turbo are powered by 1.8L four-cylinder engine that delivers 130 horsepower and 128 lb-ft torque. The SR Turbo trim benefits from a 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder option that increases horsepower to 188 and torque to 177 lb-ft.
Since we are a volume new Nissan dealership, it's only natural that we take in a large number of Nissan vehicles on trade. Whether it's a pre-owned Altima, Rogue, Pathfinder, or Sentra, if Nissan makes it – chances are we have it here in stock at Nissan of New Braunfels.

Parsing XML in Python: A Quick Working Sample
In my recent consulting projects, I used Python on various projects including the VMware pyVmomi () for managing vSphere. Because XML is ubiqutous these days, I had to use XML for configuration, passing information, etc. Parsing XML is a very basic part of using XML. The following sample code can achieve the same thing (print out may be different) as the C# sample that parses XML I wrote before.

On the Market / Brown shingle house has a style all its own
NEW CANAAN — The brown shingle and stone house at 75 Louise's Lane almost defies categorization.
The New Canaan Property Appraisals Search Page identifies the house as a Cape Cod. One online real estate agency calls it a Cape Cod ranch, although it is not all on one level, while another website calls it "other" on the listing sheet. In marketing material, the listing agent refers to it as "stone and shingle Country Ranch."
It's no surprise that people have a difficult time defining this house. Its open floor plan lends itself to the contemporary style. And it does have a traditional center hall entrance, but is that enough to call it a colonial? Not really. No use wasting time trying to come up with an appropriate style name. Someone should simply call it "home." Home sweet home.
This 10-room house was built in 1952 on a level and gently sloping waterfront property of almost three acres, with a 50-foot heated Gunite in-ground swimming pool and spa looking over a natural pond. The home's residents and neighbors from four other houses canoe and ice skate on this pond, which requires no maintenance.
It sits in a secluded woodland setting on a cul-de-sac only four miles from New Canaan Village and the Metro-North train station in one direction and only two minutes to Scott's Corner in Pound Ridge, N.Y., in the other direction. There are stunning views from every room of the beautifully landscaped property.
It really is a special house and property, one that the current owners originally purchased as their weekend country home, but they found themselves spending more and more time there and eventually made it their year-round residence. It has an abundance of natural light and an open floor plan. It is at once sophisticated and yet casual enough for today's lifestyles, and enjoys a perfect flow for entertaining inside and out.
A long gravel driveway travels through this very private setting to the ample parking area and attached two-car garage. A slate path leads to the covered porch of the front entrance, where the door is flanked by sidelights from casing to threshold.

In an article published on Wednesday, the Associated Press detailed ongoing allegations of rape and torture of Tamil men by Sri Lankan security forces that are said to have taken place between 2016 and July this year.
Based on the interviews with 20 men and a review of 32 medical and psychological reports, AP noted, "Raped, branded or beaten repeatedly, more than 50 men from the Tamil ethnic minority seeking political asylum in Europe say they were abducted and tortured under Sri Lanka's current government."
See here for full article.
Speaking to the news wire, Piers Pigou from the International Crisis Group said, "There's a level of pervasion and abuse which you rarely see, certainly in other cases I've dealt with around the world, and reflects a sickness at the heart of the Sri Lankan security services which appears to be quite common."
The Sri Lankan authorities have rejected the reports as fabrication.
The army commander, Lt Gen Mahesh Senanayake was quoted by AP as saying, "there are people who come back and make up these stories, especially people who are living in Europe."
"I'm very confident on what I say, because army was not involved and as for that matter I'm sure that police also were not involved," he said, adding, "There's no reason for us to do that now."
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, was quoted by AP as saying, "while the UN is unable to confirm this until we mount an investigation, clearly the reports are horrifying and merit a much closer inspection from our part, especially if they occurred in 2016 and 2017."

I have heard that the new Nokia music Smartphone has a long battery life which is 28 hours. 28 hours is pertty impressive for a battery life. Do you have any idea how many songs it will hold approximately? I am always comparing mobile phone offers, and the battery life sounds great, but it would be dependent if you can actually hold 28 hours of music to make that service worthwhile.
It does't work on my nokia n73.plz help me.
