Factor It In Powers to Fire Plug Victory
Factor It In. (Jerry Dzierwinski/MJC)
David Joseph/Maryland Jockey Club
LAUREL, Md. – Michael Scheffres' multiple Grade 3-placed Factor It In continued his career-best form Saturday at Laurel Park by cruising to this third stakes victory in five starts, a two-length triumph in the $100,000 Fire Plug.
The 6 ½-furlong Fire Plug for 4-year-olds and up was the fourth of six stakes worth $550,000 in purses on a Winter Sprintfest program headlined by the $100,000 Spectacular Bid for 3-year-olds and $100,000 Xtra Heat for 3-year-old fillies.
Maryland's first stakes of 2023 also included the $100,00 Fire Plug for 4-year-olds and up and $100,000 What a Summer for fillies and mares 4 and older and a pair of $75,000 events restricted to older Maryland-bred/sired horses – the Geisha for females and Jennings.
With Angel Cruz up for trainer Carlos Mancilla, Factor It In covered the distance in 1:18.01 over a fast main track for his second straight win after capping 2022 in the Dec. 30 Dave's Friend at Laurel.
Factor It In, a 7-year-old son of The Factor, also won the Challedon against fellow Maryland-bred/sired horses last fall and ran third in back-to-back Grade 3 stakes in New York – the Bold Ruler and Fall Highweight – beaten less than a length combined.
"Carlos and his brother Oscar, they do such a spectacular job not only on this horse but on all our horses," Scheffres said. "They work so hard and they're such a great team. I'm so lucky to have them."
Five Dreams, runner-up in the six-furlong Blitzen Jan. 4 at Parx, and 40-1 long shot Air Token, winner of the 2021 Maryland Million Sprint, dueled through an opening quarter-mile in 23.51 seconds and a half in 46.62 as Cruz kept Factor It In in the clear in third. Factor It In launched his bid midway around the far turn and set his sights on the leaders once straightened for home, powering through the stretch under Cruz who wrapped up approaching the wire.
"I was afraid Angel might try to go to the front and I haven't seen much speed go wire to wire today. I kept asking Carlos, 'Do you think Angel is going to go to the front?'" Scheffres said. "He did it exactly the way I would have wanted. It was perfect."
Yodel E. A. Who came with a late run to be second, a length in front of Five Dreams, with another half-length back to multiple stakes winner Alwaysinahurry. Savoy, Karan's Notion, Air Token and Al Loves Josie completed the order of finish. Pirate Rick and Beren were scratched.
Fire Plug was a stakes winner every year from age 3 to 7. The popular gelding won or placed in 49 of 54 career starts with half his 28 victories coming in stakes including the J. Edgar Hoover, Maryland Breeders' Cup and Roman handicaps. Twice graded-stakes placed including the 1991 General George (G2), he was retired later that year at the age of 8 with $705,175 in purse earnings.

Immigrants, essential heroes who respond to the crisis
HomepageBlogCEO LetterImmigrants, essential heroes who respond to the crisis
CategoriesCEO Letter
The economic activity reduced to essential has made it evident that immigrants are the pillars who support all industries that need to operate during the COVID-19 crisis.
Instead of criticizing the vast majority of immigrants, who continue to work "taking jobs away from Americans," often in poor conditions and under the threat of the Coronavirus, it's time to recognize that they are ensuring that the United States does not go hungry and have medical care.
As the nation reels from the economic shock induced by the pandemic and the economic disruption it will continue to cause, immigrants keep this country going.
It is time to offer them our gratitude, and instead of attacking them or constantly thinking about making their lives miserable, we should recognize them as true heroes.
The IHCC is committed to defending the interests of those who drive our country's economic development, even in the most adverse situations.
The country's strength
Millions of immigrants are on the front line of the crisis, exposed to contagion, without any health protection.
Most have lower incomes and larger families than those who were born in this country, but they do not have access to insurance or basic health coverage.
Two out of every 10 people over the age of 16 who work in this country were born abroad. At least 6 out of 10 are part of the workforce in essential industries during this pandemic, which includes the health sector, as well as logistics and food.
As proof, just look at the updated data from the latest major study by the Washington-based Migration Policy Institute (MPI).
6 million immigrants have jobs in key areas on the fight against the Coronavirus.
Hospitals at Work
Of the 6 million 2.5 million are legal resident immigrants who work in the health care industry. They are doctors, nurses, cleaning staff specializing exclusively in health care, social services, pharmacies, scientific research, medical laboratories, and medical product factories.
25% of physicians in the United States studied and were born in another country. They also represent 60% of all professionals who serve in rural areas, bringing front-line services to nearly 50 million Americans living in communities of less than 20,000 people.
40% of health care workers who serve in nursing homes or provide home care are immigrants.
Nearly 65% of the cleaning staff that keeps hospitals operating are immigrants.
Food on your table
The United States has food on their tables thanks to the immigrants.
From 6 million immigrants 3.5 million have residency and work in supermarkets, small shops, agricultural sectors, essential product factories, service stations, logistics, and public transportation.
They're immigrants:
48% work in the food industry.
64% are agricultural workers (mainly in California, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, and Nebraska).
60% work in the meat processing industry.
29% work in warehouses and supermarkets.
40% work as drivers in subways, bus, and taxis (they ensure that essential service workers are mobilized)
Even in non-essential services
Immigrants are also the majority in the most important non-primary industries, which have been devastated as more people follow the patterns of social alienation. We talk about them being foreigners:
71% of restaurant workers.
39% of hotel workers.
48% of chefs and head chefs.
62% of service workers.
65% of construction workers.
A CNN study revealed, even without a job, nearly 70% of the 22 million workers who claimed unemployment insurance in March and April said they would not seek temporary work in other essential industries where immigrants are working today. No one is stealing anyone's job.
This is not the time to confront each other. It's time to unite and recognize the silent heroes.
That is and will remain one of our commitments at the IHCC. Our organization is concerned to advance economic development and fighting for a level playing field.

Messaging apps can never lose trends. We can always consider it as the best way to communicate with people who are distant. There are numerous messaging apps that connect people via the help of internet.
These messaging apps not only include sending messages but also have many other options such as video calling, normal calling. Incorporation of gifs, stickers make these messaging apps even more interesting and attractive. Hence the trend of messaging mobile apps will never fade away.
It refers to features available in any mobile app that would make the app work like a human. It would impart it that intelligence that is only expected from humans.
Artificial intelligence or machine learning apps are such inventions that are not novel. They got in use to the world in the year 2017. But they would definitely grow its magnitude in the mobile industry with flying colors in future too.

A Guide to the William L. "Buck" Buchanan Collection, 1935-1947
Creator: Buchanan, William L. "Buck", 1900-1947
Title: Buchanan, William L. "Buck", collection
Abstract: Correspondence, newspaper clippings, photographs, scrapbook material, and one book compose the William L. "Buck" Buchanan Collection, 1935-1947.
Accession No.: 2012-251
OCLC No.: 829300653
Extent: 3 in.
Language: Materials are written in English.
William L. "Buck" Buchanan was born on August 26, 1900 in Waco, Texas, where he worked on his father Ollie Buchanan's farm during his school years. On April 23, 1923 Buck joined the Waco Police Department as a motorcycle officer. He was appointed to the Detective Bureau of that department in 1928 and quickly rose to the position of Chief of Detectives.
Special Agent Buchanan entered the ranks of the FBI September 25, 1934, during a time when gangsters and gang rule were prominent, powerful, and dangerous forces in the United States. During his first two years with the Bureau Buck was variously located at the St. Louis Field Office, the Cincinnati Field Division, the Oklahoma City Field Division, and on special assignment in Chicago in connection with major fugitive cases. His superiors noted his coolness under fire and proficiency with firearms. He was called to New Orleans on May 1, 1936, and was at FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover's side when the Bureau apprehended then-Public Enemy No. 1 Alvin Karpis and his fellow gang member Fred Hunter. Agent Buchanan supplied the famous necktie that was used to restrain Karpis when a pair of handcuffs could not be located.
Buchanan worked on the Charles Mattson kidnapping case at the Seattle Field Division for most of the year 1937, returning to Oklahoma City in December. During this time he was primarily involved in solving bank robberies, including the case of Noah Maurice Still. In August of 1938 he became the Resident Agent at Muskogee, Oklahoma. He was called away from this position twice, in each case returning home to Muskogee afterwards. The first was to Honolulu, Hawaii following the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, where the Bureau was investigating matters of national defense in connection with the incident. The second was in December of 1942, when Agent Buchanan was sent to Chicago, where he played an active role in the capture of Roger Touhy and his gang.
It was in Muskogee that Buck met his wife, Frances Eleanor Buchanan née Wainwright. They were married in the summer of 1942. The Buchanans welcomed their only child, son William Lee Buchanan II, into the world on October 31, 1944. The family maintained many friendships, particularly with other local law enforcement professionals, including Judge Alfred P. Murrah and family as well as FBI Agent D. A. "Jelly" Bryce. Buchanan was a 32nd degree Mason, and a member of the Scottish Rite and York Shrine Karem Temple in Waco.It was in Muskogee that Buck met his wife, Frances Eleanor Buchanan née Wainwright.

Buchanan was a 32nd degree Mason, and a member of the Scottish Rite and York Shrine Karem Temple in Waco.
After a long illness, Buck passed away at the age of 46 on July 15, 1947. He was interred in the Buchanan family plot at Oakwood Cemetery in Waco, Texas. In addition to his wife and young son, he was survived by two brothers, Ralph and Halbert C. Buchanan of Waco, and three sisters, Mrs. Fred Meyer of Waco, Mrs. R. L. Vickers of Odessa, and Mrs. Charles Craig of Los Angeles.
Correspondence, newspaper clippings, photographs, scrapbook material, and one book compose the William L. "Buck" Buchanan Collection, 1935-1947. The correspondence primarily relates to Agent Buchanan's activities as a federal agent, the birth of his son, and condolences upon his death. Also present is a telegram from Buchanan to his wife, Frances Eleanor, and a hospital bill for the child's birth. There are many letters from J. Edgar Hoover as well as Clyde Tolson, D. A. "Jelly" Bryce, and Judge A. P. Murrah. Photographs depict the Buchanan family and friends, including the Murrahs. Newspaper clippings are taken primarily from Oklahoma newspapers, such the Muskogee Daily Phoenix, the Muskogee Times-Democrat, and the Tulsa Daily World, but the Chicago Daily Tribune, the Washington D. C. Evening Star, and the Waco Tribune-Herald. Many clippings are notices of illness or obituaries for William L. Buchanan, but there are also articles related to Buchanan, Bryce, and Murrah's activities as law enforcement agents as well as several broadsides from 1945 concerning the end of World War II. A copy J. Edgar Hoover's book, Persons in Hiding, is included in the collection as it features a signed inscription inside from Hoover to Buchanan dated 1938.

I was lucky enough to visit Colorado Springs in May 2002, my first visit to the USA. A work visit but with some careful planning I managed to secure three days fishing in this wonderful State deep in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. With some help from three friends of mine who worked for HP Colorado Springs, Jack Hunter, Jim Jones and Ira Simons. We set up three days fishing starting on a beautiful stream called "Eleven-Mile Canyon". The stream system (Gold Stream's) which is made up of three different section's within the stream, there was the bottom section where you could fish any methods you wanted and kill 4 fish, then you had the middle section which was fly-only but you could catch and kill 4 fish and there was the most prolific part, the top section which was nearest the eleven mile reservoir called the Gold Section where all fish must be returned alive and we finished on my last day on Antero Reservoir further up State.
We had so much fishing to choose from and how much does it cost, $27 per year for any water in the state of Colorado and that's a lot of waters to fish. We decide to fish the stream for 2 days in a row as it was so good after the first day for some people and not for others as I was having a very hard time holding onto these fish but I eventually got the method right and all was good. On the first day Jack, Jim and myself went to the stream, I did not know what to expect. To say I was surprised was an understatement this place was not only stunning to look at but the stream was crystal clear with loads of fish in each of the pools, would I catch or not was all that was going through my mind. Jack and Jim tackle up their small 3 and 4 weight rods with some well all I could call it was cobweb nylon and flies (Size 22's and 24's)that were even hard for me to see. Next went on the bung, float whatever you want to call it but it was there and a very bright orange to boot. Lastly on went the split shot to get the flies down quickly to the fish as this little stream was pretty fast in places.
I decided to try the small nymphs I had tied for the trip, well I thought they were small until I had set my eyes on the ones these guys were using. Tackled up my newly acquired 9ft 3in 5wt Missionary rod from my good friend Ian from Hardy/Greys. Attached to this I had my Hardy fly-reel and my WF5 Cabela's fly-line that had been sitting at my hotel waiting on me along with my new waders as well. So all kitted out ready for some serious amounts of fish, well I was in for a surprise not only were the fish not interested in my size 16 nymphs I could not even get an offer, unlike some people. Jack was having a whale of a time catching fish every 20 minutes or so. So off I went in true anglers fashion to find out what I was doing wrong. As I said before his set-up was a wee bit different to mine so I managed to get some of his Killing Flies from him and a float, split shot and off I went to a nice bend in the stream where the water was fast then slowed down on the bend as the water deepened. I had spotted loads of fish in the pool earlier and was hoping for the best.
Well the rest of the morning past quickly with fish after fish being missed, hooked or lost I had managed to land only one fish as seen in the picture below. I was not disappointed, who could be with a fish as fin perfect as that one and so much sport it was unbelievable but the day was not over yet.
Back to the 4x4 for a quick lunch then it was back to catching some fish. After some sandwiches and some excellent BBQ pork from Jacks own recipe we were ready to do battle with these amazing fish once again. But something had changed they were now more fish rising so I decided to try a small olive dry I had tied on a size 16 Drennan buzzer hook. Jim and Jack said it was too big and that I needed to fish smaller to catch these fish rising in the pool right in front of the 4x4. Well we all went into the pool and I caught 2 fish and got broke on a third fish and Jim and Jack caught none of these rising fish so my not so wee flies did the trick. As the rise began to fade I started making my way back down the pools to my favorite part of stream the BEND. I tackled up once more with the size 22 bug rig and made my way hastily back to the edge of the pool, but I was stopped in my tracks when I spotted a large brown trout sitting in front of a rock just before my favorite bend on the stream. A couple of casts later and I had him, he did not run like the rainbows but decided to just use his weight to pull me about the pool slowly, my heart pounded as I thought I would never get this fish in across the power of the water. After a spirited fight I managed to land this fish on a size 22 bug. He was a cracking brown of roughly two and a half pounds and full of muscle.
The day was rounded off with a few more fish landed and many lost for all three of us. What a great days fishing and what great company. On the way home I later learned about a thing the guys over in the USA called LDR, when I ask Jack and Jim about LDR they laughed and told me its short for LONG DISTANCE RELEASE, what does this mean I hear you ask well in the USA if you are playing a fish for longer than 30 seconds even if it comes off then they count it, cant see that catching on over here in the UK.
Well day 2 we were up bright and early due to the fact that I had booked out my hotel and went to stay with Jack at his home on the out-skirts of town. What a place the views were amazing, the house was amazing and his home made beer was awesome. We had BBQ T-Bones and potatoes, home made beer straight from the pumps in the garage and was sitting on the decking outside next to the hot-tub and the Jacuzzi. What a life these guys have I wish I could have stayed there longer. Just check the views from his balcony, its called the "Garden of the Gods" and it certainly was from where I was standing.
Well after a short trip to the local tackle shop Anglers Covey for some more essential equipment, floats, shot and nylon and of course a new Sage Hat I was ready for anything. I also got some advice from the guys in there about what to fish at Antero Reservoir where I was heading the next day, but I had my own ideas for that water as you will find out later. We arrived at about 7.30 am at the stream and all was quiet and very cold, remember this was May but as we were about 8000 ft above sea level it was freezing cold in the shade, but once the sun got high enough around mid-day I was all warm and toasty again. The fishing was much better this day, sadly Jim could not join us as he had family commitments that day. I eventually managed to land around 15 fish and all were in perfect condition I caught them at my feet in deeper water in shallow runs everywhere and none were bigger than one and a half pounds. Some pictures below of my day.
Ira tackle up with his favorite spinner baits and I brought out the big guns, I set-up my 10ft AFTM 7 Sage XP rod, large for American standard but I was going to need it because I would be fishing the "Shuggie" or Humungus as most people know it on a DI-6 fly line. One Shuggie on the point we set the boat up in 10 ft of water within 3 casts I had my first rainbow and after 2 drifts, not trolling I had 10 fish to my rod and many plucks pulls and misses with Ira only catching one fish on his spinner baits. I think I have persuaded Ira to get the old fly rod back out of retirement. There were many people fishing, some from the bank and some from anchored boats, some trolling and some float tubers but none were having the success I was getting with the "Shuggie". I then managed a fish of around 4lbs in perfect condition and that one went home with Ira for dinner in the live-well I might add. We finished the day after only 3 hrs fishing with 16 fish for the boat and to think that all this cost just $27 per year amazing.
On the way back to Jack's home we saw buffalo and also passed through the town of South Park where I believe the inspiration for the TV show came from and as a fan it was great to be able to say I've been there where it started. I have to thank Jim, Jack and Ira for making me most welcome in their homes and country and for providing me with some of the best fishing I have ever sampled and I do hope to return one day to fish more of the magical waters in the State of Colorado. Thanks Guys.

(By Edem K G Djokotoe "SOUL TO SOUL" in Zambia Post Daily news Paper 13th October 2006)
(NDLR: Ode to a slain friend : Bagira Vincent that died on 25th December 2016 at UTH after being shot twice by thieves on December 24th around 2050 as he was knocking off from his trading place in Woodlands area Off Buluwe road. Previously he was attacked twice at the same place. Vincent was born on 12 December 1972, survived with a wife (married in 2008) and 2 daughters).
When I first met Jean-Claude about eight years ago, he must have been about 24 years old, maybe older. He had a hunted look about him, like a man afraid to even trust his own shadow. The way he cast furtive glances around during conversation gave you the impression of a man driven either by a deep sense of fear and by an intense paranoia.
One day he told my wife: there are people who want to kill me. Please, I need some money to move. Help me…
I can't remember exactly how much she gave him, but Jean-Claude dropped out of sight for almost three months. When we saw him again, his story was still the same: there was a death squad out there with a list of people to exterminate and his name was on it. He needed money to relocate in a hurry…. At the time, the idea of a death squad in Lusaka seemed to be to pretty far-fetched, and I must confess, I began to suspect the young man of milking our sympathy for every penny he could get with his sob stories and his tales of bogeymen.
But when a friend of his was found murdered one day in one of the compounds in Lusaka, the possibility that Jean-Claude could have been telling the truth all along slowly dawned on me. To this day, I don't know whether police caught anyone for the cold-blooded killing, but that's how Jean-Claude dropped out of sight never to be seen again.
We tried to trace him, but we didn't even know where to start from. We prayed and kept our fingers crossed that wherever Jean-Claude was, he was alive and well.
A year or so later, we got a phone call at around 0520 hours on Christmas Day. At the other end of the line was Jean-Claude. He was calling from Cleveland , Ohio US to wish us a Merry Christmas. It was a very short phone call, but he sounded so upbeat and so full of beans that we couldn't help but catch the contagion of his infectious high spirits. We learnt that he'd managed to get into university and had found a part-time job.
The fact that he was safe and sound made us happy, but most of all, we were touched that he not only remembered us, but went out of his way to call us on Christmas Day. Things like this have a way of etching themselves indelibly in one's album of memories…
But who exactly is Jean-Claude? Well, he was a Rwandese refugee my wife and I befriended by chance. His parents and his siblings were killed in the bloodbath History will remember as a genocide in the tiny central African state. When the bloodshed started, he was at university. Can't remember what he said he was studying, but when we met survival, not tertiary education, was the main thing on his mind. But for some reason he felt unsafe, even in a refugee camp.
His fears of the likelihood of an untimely death at the hands of a death squad were heightened when Rwandese President, Paul Kagame came to Zambia a few years ago. Shortly afterwards, his friend was murdered, forcing him to flee Zambia for a safer haven.
Jean-Claude may be safe in the US , but sadly, many of the friends and compatriots he left behind in Zambia are not. Recent events seem to suggest that Rwandese refugees in Zambia today have every cause for alarm. Figures show that there are less than 4,000 Rwandese refugees living in Zambia , with a 1,000 living in Lusaka in 200 households. In the past six months, 25 of them have been targets of armed attack. Five of them have been killed in what the Rwandese community say are not random acts of violence but part of a carefully orchestrated plot to exterminate them systematically.
Apparently, the recent shooting to death of a Grade 12 Kamwala Secondary School student was part of a botched hit on a Rwandese family, a mother and her son, who fled from a gang of armed thugs who chased them from Kamwala Site and Service on 21 September this year.
The incident, my investigations revealed, took place not too far away from St. Patrick's bus stop on Chilimbulu Road . It was almost the same spot where another Rwandese refugee had been brutally murdered a few days earlier on 17 September 2007. His name was Boniface Nyirishema and he was shot dead in the presence of his customers at his container tuck shop just opposite St Patrick's bus stop in Kabwata. Nothing was stolen.
Three months earlier, on 13 June 2007, Thomas Kadoyi, another Rwandese refugee who was living in Jack Compound, was shot dead in his grocery shop. Again, nothing was stolen.
In the early hours of 13 May this year, an elderly couple in John Laing compound was attacked by armed criminals. The wife, Francoise Musabyemariya died instantly of gunshot wounds. Her husband survived the attack but was seriously injured in the process.
But Anaclet Hitimana, a Rwandese refugee of New Kanyama, was not so lucky. He was beaten to death by unknown people on 8 April 2007.
The regularity of these murders, not to mention the manner in which they have been carried out, convince members of the Rwandese refugee community in Lusaka that these killings are not coincidental and that they are part of a sinister plot which could probably have been hatched in and orchestrated from the country they left behind. They feel that the 1997 Extraction Treaty between the Zambian and Rwandese governments and the repatriation campaigns of 2002 were premature because neither addressed the pervasiveness of the insecurity that hung menacingly over their heads like a storm cloud.
Their suspicions and insecurities aside, one would expect that homicides taking place in a sovereign state, even if it involved foreign nationals, would be confirmed by the police. Not only that. A trend analysis, the same kind law enforcers use to determine from the pattern of a crime whether it qualifies to be tackled as a serial crime or as isolated incidents should have revealed that something was wrong somewhere. Agreed, Lusaka may not be Johannesburg where so many people are killed every day that you'd think they were broilers being slaughtered for some fast-food outlet, but even so, the murder of even one individual should cause enough of a social ripple to warrant some media attention. However, for whatever reason, the increasing number of Rwandese deaths does not seem to be stimulating the proverbial journalistic curiosity and getting media professionals to start what could be impact-making investigation. Of course, five murders and 25 armed attacks in six months may not be exactly agenocide, but suppose it is a harbinger of something bigger and more sinister? We won't know until we ask some tough questions, will we?
For instance, how was it possible for Agnes Ntamabyariro, a former Rwandese Justice Minister to be kidnapped from Zambia in 1998 and, days later, find herself incarcerated in a prison in Kigali , strangely at a time when there was an Extraction Treaty in place between Zambia and Rwanda ?
Curiously, news of her kidnapping did not make headlines in Zambia, though details of the incident cropped up during an International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda session in Arusha in Tanzania during the trial of Bernard Ntuyahaga, a man charged for "crimes against humanity" and for his part in the murders of 10 Blue Helmets and other high-ranking Rwandese.
Developments like these suggest that there is a lot happening that we do not know about. With regard to the recent spate of murders where the victims have been Rwandese, police referred all questions to the chief government spokesperson, Mr. Michael Mulongoti and to the Minister of Home Affairs. They said given the gravity of the fears and suspicions of the Rwandese refugees, only government could comment on them. "The things they are talking about involves our relations with another country and because of the diplomatic implications, it is better you get the chief government spokesperson to confirm the deaths," the source from Zambia Police Service headquarters said.
Personally, I found the response most intriguing. Not so long ago, when a senior Zimbabwean police officer died in a Lusaka hotel under very strange circumstances, the incident made headlines and got the Inspector-General of Police himself to issue a statement, even if all it did was refute a Post newspaper report. How much of a diplomatic incident all this caused I do not know, but what will be important to know is what the Zambia Police Service makes of all these murders.
From what I know, when a nation grants refugee status to people, it assumes some responsibility for their physical security. It is mainly for reasons of physical safety and security that refugee camps and settlements are restricted areas, places one cannot go without permission or clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs. That is also why there are police checkpoints at the entrances of refugee camps and settlements.
Admittedly, when refugees live outside camps and settlements, it puts them on the same footing as the rest of us who are off the police radar screen most of the time, if not all the time. In short, it is practically impossible for the police to be everywhere and to watch everybody's back. However, when murders happen at the rate at which they have, the public needs answers.
To this end, it would help if the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Country Representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees instituted investigations into the armed attacks with the view to finding out the identities and motives behind them. It would also help if these offices gave some reassurances to the refugees that their security and physical safety would not be left to chance.
But not everyone is optimistic. Refugees like Cesaire, a university lecturer before he fled his country, explains why circumstances have taught them not to keep their hopes up. "Being a refugee is an unjust social sentence for which appeal is not an option.
"The first lesson I learnt as a refugee is that when one door closes unconditionally, another door opens with conditions. Asylum comes as a non-negotiable, a non-committal contract, a fragile status, a big favour from the host country which you accept with gratitude. Asylum gives you hope of physical safety, a feeling that you will see the sun rise again, but you soon discover that your only real companion is your own vulnerability.
Are our brothers and sisters from Rwanda and Burundi being hunted down in Zambia? Is this country failing in providing a safe haven for our fugitive brothers and sisters


I made friends with someone but she is not showing up on my friend list and the add friend button is on her profile but I get "This person is already your friend. Please delete it first if you want to reestablish the friendship." when I try to re add her. How do I delete it? And what is to be deleted Please?
What viewer are you using?
Is that friend a Kitely user or someone using an avatar from another grid?
Did you friend them while you were in Kitely or while you were visiting another grid?
Kitely detects avatars that are reusing avatar UUIDs from known avatars from other grids (i.e. prevents people from impersonating other avatars).
Your friend is trying to teleport into Kitely with an avatar that is already known to belong to another grid. That's why your friend got an error message telling them that their avatar's Grid URI (the grid it belongs to) has changed.
Is your friend teleporting from a grid which they manage themselves or from a grid someone else manages?
As for friend showing online/offline, that functionality doesn't work well over the Hypergrid. It isn't a Kitely issue, it's an OpenSim one.
You PM me the name of the avatar, the old grid URI and the new grid URI and I update our system.

3 things Gold Star families want you to know this Memorial Day
By: Joanne Steen March 5
Dawn breaks over the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery on Memorial Day, May 26, 2014, in Boise, Idaho. (Tech. Sgt. Samuel Morse/Air Force)
Memorial Day is one of America's long-standing holidays that has been in place since the end of the Civil War.
When it was first observed, it wasn't a three-day weekend known for mega sales, cookouts or the unofficial start of summer; it was a day of remembrance and gratitude for those who died in service to their country. But now, Memorial Day's intended purpose is too often overshadowed by activities that celebrate the first long weekend of summer.
Gold Star families, the surviving family members of military personnel who died in an active duty status, often take offence at the commercialization of Memorial Day — particularly when the "fun-factor" of the weekend eclipses the reasons why this holiday was created. While others are excited about a day at the beach or a good deal on a refrigerator, Gold Star families contend with the intensified feelings of losing a loved one who was also a service member. At Memorial Day ceremonies across the county, they stand with the nation to honor their own service member, while struggling with the personal grief of losing a spouse, adult child, parent, sibling or grandchild.
Gold Star families have learned the hard way about service and sacrifice. As this Memorial Day approaches, here are three things they want you to keep in mind:
1. Understand why there needs to be a Memorial Day. In today's world, some think Memorial Day is solely dedicated to the fallen from decades-old wars. While the sacrifices made by service members in all wars must be remembered, Memorial Day needs to be a respectfully recognized holiday for all Americans — now and in years to come. There is a potent message in the expression "Freedom is not free," and in our post 9/11 world, personal freedoms can't be taken for granted. All currently serving military personnel contribute in some way to protecting our freedoms; some pay dearly. Memorial Day is for honoring those who have recently died, too.
To many Americans, Memorial Day has lost its meaning
Allison Jaslow heard it more than once as the long holiday weekend approached — a cheerful "Happy Memorial Day!" from oblivious well-wishers.
By: Michael Rubinkam
2. Know that service members die in many different ways every day. Many Americans think military personnel only die in wars. While combat deaths embody the ultimate sacrifice we're all familiar with, service members die on other military operations, during training exercises, because of equipment failure and accidents, or by suicide. The numbers are staggering. According to the Department of Defense, since 9/11 more than 16,000 service members have died in non-combat circumstances, more than double the 7,000 who died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. It is a disservice to gloss over the loss of service members in non-hostile circumstances. All made the commitment to serve for the greater good of the country.
Gold Star widow Diane Atkins, whose husband Marshall flew in combat but was killed stateside, has often felt his death was seen as less important because it happened in training. "Marshall was killed on a training hop to keep his skills sharp," said Diane. "Everyone expects our guys to be ready when duty calls."
Why you'll see poppies on this (and every) Memorial Day

3. Reconsider "Happy Memorial Day." It's not uncommon to hear the phrase "Happy Memorial Day" bantered about, but that doesn't make it an appropriate thing to say — especially if a Gold Star family or military veteran who has lost friends is within earshot. "It's like a slap in the face when someone wishes me a 'Happy' Memorial Day," said Lars Williams, Gold Star father of Army Staff Sgt. Wesley Williams. "It's been over 17 years of war since 9/11 and many still don't get the point of Memorial Day," added Lars.
Gold Star families fear their loved ones will be forgotten. Karen Funcheon, Gold Star mother of Army Sgt. Alex Funcheon, has had Gold Star Mother license plates on her vehicle for 11 years. In all that time, only three people have asked her about them. "If you see a Gold Star license plate, take a moment and ask," said Karen. "The family will appreciate your actions more than you'll know."
This year, let's replace "Happy Memorial Day" with "We will remember." Even better: choose to attend a local Memorial Day ceremony. The mega-sales events at big box stores will still be available when the ceremony has ended.

Homily of Pope Francis at Inaugural Mass
April 3, 2013 sndden	1 Comment
Independent Catholic
Let us be "protectors" of creation, protectors of God's plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, I thank the Lord that I can celebrate this Holy Mass for the inauguration of my Petrine ministry on the solemnity of Saint Joseph, the spouse of the Virgin Mary and the patron of the universal Church. It is a significant coincidence, and it is also the name-day of my venerable predecessor: we are close to him with our prayers, full of affection and gratitude.
I offer a warm greeting to my brother cardinals and bishops, the priests, deacons, men and women religious, and all the lay faithful. I thank the representatives of the other Churches and ecclesial Communities, as well as the representatives of the Jewish community and the other religious communities, for their presence. My cordial greetings go to the Heads of State and Government, the members of the official Delegations from many countries throughout the world, and the Diplomatic Corps.

Unendorsed results have shown Zimbabweans voted overwhelmingly in favor of a new constitution that would trim President Robert Mugabe's powers.
Tallies from regional counting centres published by state-controlled daily the Herald found 3.1-million voters of a total of nearly 3.4-million people who cast their ballots approved the supreme law.
The paper said 200 000 people rejected the proposed constitution in Saturday's vote. An estimated six-million citizens were eligible as voters. Continue reading Unofficial results show Zim vote in favour of new referendum →
Boko Haram blasts in Nigeria kill at least 20
A series of blasts targeting buses full of passengers in Kano, Nigeria has killed at least 20 people and sources say the toll is expected to rise.
Initial reports indicated that two suicide bombers drove a car packed with explosives into a bus at the New Road station in Sabon Gari, a predominantly Christian neighbourhood in the majority Muslim city.
Several explosions were heard following the initial blast, sparking panic as bloodied bystanders including some with serious injuries fled the scene as soldiers arrived to cordon off the area.
Kano, the largest city in Nigeria's north, was repeatedly targeted by Islamist extremist group Boko Haram, blamed for killing hundreds in the region since 2009.

Visions of a Sustainable, Pollution-Free New York by 2030
By Stephen Leahy
UXBRIDGE, Canada, Mar 19 2013 (IPS) – As usual, midtown Manhattan is packed with whisper-quiet cars and trams while thousands walk the streets listening to the birds of spring sing amongst the gleaming, grime-free skyscrapers in the crystal-clear morning air.
Welcome to New York City in April 2030.
I think the public will be 100 percent behind this, if they know about it.
This is not a fantasy. It is a perfectly doable goal, said Stanford University energy expert Mark Jacobson. In fact, the entire state of New York could be powered by wind, water and sunlight based on a detailed plan Jacobson co-authored.
It's not only doable, powering New York on green energy is "sustainable and inexpensive" and would save lives and health costs, Jacobson told IPS.

DRC: M23 Rebel Surrenders to US Embassy
Newsfromafrica
Kinshasa—Democratic Republic of Congo fugitive rebel leader Bosco Ntaganda, has handed himself to the US embassy in Rwanda asking to be turned over to the International Criminal Court where he is wanted for suspected war crimes.
"We have learned today that Bosco Ntaganda entered Rwanda and surrendered to US Embassy in Kigali," read the message on Rwanda's foreign minister Louise Mushikiwabo posted on her twitter account Monday.
General Ntaganda, who led a mutiny in April against the Congolese government, is wanted by the ICC on account of an arrest warrant released in 2006 for war crimes allegedly committed during his days as rebel leader between 2002 and 2003.
The US State department has confirmed Gen Ntaganda's surrender to its embassy in Kigali, saying they were in contact with the ICC and the Rwandan government to facilitate his request.

Peace, USA
Ten years after it began, the Iraq war still haunts the United States in the nearly 4,500 troops who died there; the more than 30,000 American wounded who have come home; the more than $2 trillion spent on combat operations and reconstruction, which inflated the deficit; and in the lessons learned about the limits of American leadership and power.
It haunts Iraq too, where the total number of casualties is believed to have surpassed 100,000 but has never been officially determined; and where one strongman was traded for another, albeit under a more pluralistic system with a democratic veneer. The country is increasingly influenced by Iran and buffeted by the regional turmoil caused by the Arab Spring. Continue reading Ten Years After →
In the Green Tradition
America Magazine
Drew Christiansen
Catholic greens had reason to sound exclamations of joy at today's inaugural papal Mass. From the announcement of the new pope's name, Francis, there was speculation about whether Pope Francis would show the same sensitivity for nature that saint who preached to the birds, loved the wild places and tamed the wolf of Gubbio.
Over the weekend, there were hints at the new pope's meeting with journalists. Asked to explain his choice of name, he said the inspiration came from another Latin American cardinal, who whispered to him as he was elected, ""Don't forget the poor." The new pope commented on the attractiveness of the name, Francis: "the man of poverty, the man of peace, the man who loves and protects creation," the same created world "with which we don't have such a good relation." At the end of audience, the pope greeted a blind journalist accompanied by his guide dog, and the pope, as he took the man's hand, leaned over to pet the dog.

1. Visionary filmmaker Terrence Malick took a twenty-year break between his second and third movies. Now he's just shot three new ones in eighteen months.
2. To The Wonder is Malick's first movie set entirely in the modern era.
3. Actors like Rachel Weisz, Jessica Chastain and Michael Sheen have had their parts entirely cut from the movie; Terry's fond of 'finding' his films in post-production, notoriously turning Adrien Brody's leading role in The Thin Red Line (1998) to a bit-part.
4. A decade ago Ben Affleck was a burned-out has-been: today's he's an acclaimed filmmaker in his own right, and increasingly choosy when it comes to picking acting roles.
5. To The Wonder is the first Malick movie to be greeted with a largely negative response; at its Venice premiere, they laughed when Bond baddie Javier Bardem turned up as a priest.
6. We say if you've done Badlands (1973), Days Of Heaven (1978) and The New World (2005), you can pretty much do whatever you fancy. Any Tree Of Life (2011) lovers out there?

My research focuses on identifying new approaches to combat the metabolic suppression of an immune response in solid tumors. More specifically, I aim to mechanistically define epigenetically controlled metabolic stress responses in T cells during tumor infiltration. We have identified an epigenetic mechanism in which T cells are sensitized and made vulnerable to metabolic stress. Our preliminary work shows that the histone modifying enzyme EZH2 is targeted during melanoma infiltration and that this inhibition leads to the metabolic exhaustion of tumor infiltrating T cells. The identification of these mechanisms and demonstration of proof of principle therapies will set the stage for the next generation of immunotherapies.
I am always interested in having scientific conversations on the topics of immunology, metabolism and cancer biology.

One of our users has been trying to figure out how to create a rule in Outlook that would send some emails from our internal community to a certain folder, but she hasn't had any luck. She is trying to set the rule for specific people in TheHub. For example, if I always got an email notification from our community from Fred, I would like it to automatically move into a certain folder. I know I can do that with regular emails, but it doesn't seem to work with emails from our Jive instance.
My guess is that it has to do with the fact that the "from" address on the emails from Jive will have your admin email address instead of the user's address. The email address is the "normal" way to do a routing rule.
I think you could do it by using "specific words in subject or body", and then use the person's username.

Tongued with Fire: T.S. Eliot's Poetics of Prayer
Kenneth P. Kramer
What makes prayer valid? For the poet, T.S. Eliot, there is something more, something that is sometimes unnoticed, but which, if realized, can reanimate prayer life. This brief essay unfolds in three steps: (1) pointing to the contemplative influence of Eliot's conversion to the Church of England; (2) depicting the seventeenth-century Little Gidding lay-monastic community as the definitive influence on Eliot's final quartet; and (3) unpacking six interrelated prayer-revitalizing insights from a passage in 'Little Gidding', practices that help make prayer valid.

The Anglican Covenant and the 'Puritan' Temptation
Timothy F. Sedgwick
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 October 2011, pp. 13-24
As ecumenical understanding of the formation and development of episkopé has emphasized, there are different ways of structuring episkopé collegially, synodically and personally, each with its own theological basis, strength and weakness. This article argues that the proposed Anglican Covenant assumes a normative understanding of the nature and role of the bishop which carries the danger of a kind of 'puritanism' in which the focus and energy of the churches in the Anglican Communion are narrowly focused, creating a bureaucratic form of governance that vitiates the mission of the church.
Toward 'Generous Love': Recent Anglican Approaches to World Religions
Frederick Quinn
How should Anglicans regard other religions? The approaches of a number of Anglican writers considered in this article are valuable, both to Anglicans and to others, beginning with F.D. Maurice in the late nineteenth century. Others include Kenneth Cragg, an Arabist and Evangelical; Alan Race, author of the Exclusivist, Inclusivist, and Pluralist paradigm; Kwok Pui-Lan, a contemporary Asian feminist; Ian S. Markham, who proposes a 'Theology of Engagement'; Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury and an important writer on the theology of Raimon Panikkar; David F. Ford, proponent of the Cambridge Scriptural Reasoning (SR) program that seeks 'better quality disagreement'; and Keith Ward, whose systematic theology develops a concept of 'convergent spirituality'. Moving from the theoretical to the practical, the article discusses the global United Religions Initiative of William E. Swing, former Episcopal Bishop of California. Collectively, these authors provide a range of intersecting Anglican approaches to the evolving question of Anglican relations with other world religions.
The Goods of Human Sexuality: Ethics and Moral Theology
Ellen Wondra
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 November 2011, pp. 25-30
Christian ethics has always taken a complex view of the goods and purposes of human sexuality and its role in human relationships. Sexual desire and behavior have to be seen always within the overarching moral imperatives of love of God and love of neighbor. Such love entails self-giving and other-regard, and in longer-term relationships also some measure of commitment, fidelity, reciprocity or mutuality, truthfulness and generativity. Yet not all relationships with these characteristics do (or should) include sexual behavior. Nor do all sexual relationships include all these characteristics or virtues all the time. So we do better to base our moral evaluations of relationships on the exercise of these virtues than on more obvious criteria of sexual orientation or even status in the eyes of the church. At the same time, it is also possible for faithful and reasonable people to disagree faithfully and reasonably on sexual ethics, as on other things.
God's Saving Purpose and Prayer for All the Departed
James B. Gould
Throughout much of church history Christians have prayed for the dead. Historical, liturgical and pastoral contexts suggest that, while Anglicans may pray for the continual growth of the faithful departed, we have seldom prayed for advancement from purgatory or deliverance from hell. In this paper I defend all three, noting where my argument departs from and intersects with historic Anglican positions. I offer an outline of theology from the perspective of death, arguing that prayer for all the departed is one aspect of a tightly knit web of doctrines including theology proper, creation, salvation and consummation. Petitions for all the dead are not inconsequential. Instead, the final destiny of human persons raise the most basic of theological questions, matters which go to the center of God's purpose in creating spiritual beings and redeeming sinful humankind.
The Baptismal Covenant and the Proposed Anglican Covenant
Ruth A. Meyers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 December 2011, pp. 31-41
An exploration of the development and meaning of the text of the Baptismal Covenant in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church provides the basis for a discussion of the proposed Anglican Communion Covenant. The article concludes by suggesting how biblical, theological and liturgical understandings of covenant offer a perspective by which to assess the proposed Covenant for the Anglican Communion.
Oswin Boys Bull and the Emergence of Southern African 'Nonwhite' YMCA Work
David Anthony
From 1908 to 1922, Oswin Boys Bull (1882–1971) had the primary responsibility for supervising the recruitment of African youth and students into the South African SCA and YMCA. Following the lead of overseas sojourners Luther Wishard and Donald Fraser in 1895 and John R. Mott and Ruth Rouse in 1906, Bull took his experience as a Jesus College, Cambridge classics and theology major and sportsperson into the challenging religious, racial and ethnic field of the Union of South Africa. Bringing a mix of strong spiritual roots and an unwavering commitment to the racially inclusive interpretation of Christianity, Bull blazed a trail that earned him the reputation of a pioneer ecumenist.
Ably assisted by illustrious Xhosa-speaking intellectual and seasoned Christian proselytizer John Knox Bokwe, Bull made inroads into areas previously ignored by his predecessors. With a reach extending as far as neighboring historic Basutoland, Bull's efforts resulted in the establishment of branch associations in a variety of rural and urban locations. In spite of local opposition and tremendous geographical, linguistic, social and political barriers, Bull applied himself to the task of providing a firm foundation for Black and Mixed Race SCA and YMCA members to find places in previously lily-white bodies.
Understanding both his limits as well as his capabilities, Bull's generosity allowed him to share the spotlight with other evangelists. His correspondence with YMCA leader John Mott demonstrates a humble willingness to see the task of 'nonwhite' inclusion in SCA and YMCA work to the end. By the time Max Yergan, the first permanent YMCA and SCA secretary arrived in South Africa early in 1922, Bull was able to delegate most of the duties that required a field secretary to him, satisfied that he could concentrate on the remainder of his managerial duties from the YMCA and SCA center, in Cape Town and Stellenbosch, respectively. Already fluent in Afrikaans, Bull's history of attempting to build bridges between competing and often hostile populations set the standard for the type of leadership that a complex, extremely ethnically and religiously particularistic society like South Africa would need to construct a broadly based national movement.
Although O.B. Bull is known only to readers of Alan Paton's Hofmeyr, and those involved in the institutions with which he was associated, most notably, St Edmunds School, Jesus College, Cambridge, the Scriptural Union and the South African SCA and YMCA, it may now be possible for later generations to revisit the times in which he lived and worked to regain a sense of the odds against which he struggled and the resolve he showed in striving first to dream of and then fight for a more inclusive Southern African YMCA.
While he was by no means perfect and was clearly himself a product of his place and time, his quests for something better within himself and his adopted country were noble.
'Anglocostalism' in Nigeria: Neo-Pentecostalism and Obstacles to Anglican Unity
Jesse Zink
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 August 2012, pp. 231-250
In the last several decades, the religious landscape in Nigeria has been transformed by the rise of neo-Pentecostal or 'new generation' churches. These churches teach a gospel of prosperity, advance an oppositional view of the world, focus on a supernatural arena of spiritual forces, accord a unique weight to the Bible, and practice a charismatic worship style. One result of the presence of these churches has been to change the face of Anglicanism in Nigeria. Concerned about the possibility of diminished influence and prestige, the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has responded to neo-Pentecostal churches by adopting more of its rivals' beliefs and practices. This paper argues that this changing environment explains, in part, Nigerian opposition to efforts at global Anglican unity and argues that it is impossible to address the future of the Anglican Communion without first understanding the on-the-ground religious context in Nigeria.
Inquiring Minds Want to Know: A Lay Person's Perspective on the Proposed Anglican Covenant
Fredrica Harris Thompsett
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 February 2012, pp. 42-51
Baptism is the sacrament that incorporates Christians into the Body of Christ; 99 percent of the church are laity. The proposed Anglican Covenant's emphasis on formal authority exercised by bishops and primates changes the relationships among all Anglicans, not just bishops. This change may run against a fundamental Anglican tradition of ongoing communal reflection that acknowledges that elements of church life change because they are no longer convenient or useful in particular locales. In adopting the Anglican Covenant, are we stating that traditional Anglican polity is no longer convenient or useful for the Provinces of the Anglican Communion, including the Episcopal Church?
Have Anglo-Catholics Lost their Vision for Mission Agencies? An Empirical Enquiry among Newly Ordained Clergy in Britain
Andrew Village, Leslie J. Francis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 May 2011, pp. 52-67
Attitude toward Christian mission agencies was investigated in a sample of 827 Anglican clergy ordained in the UK from 2002 to 2006. The Scale of Attitude Toward Mission Agencies (SATMA) consisted of six items related to the work that agencies do, and whether clergy wished to engage with this work. It had a high internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.80). After controlling for theological liberalism or conservatism, attitudes were most positive among evangelicals and least positive among Anglo-Catholics. Both liberal and conservative Anglo-Catholic clergy showed less positive attitudes toward mission agencies than did other clergy.

Parochial Ecology on St Briavels Common: Rebalancing the Local and the Universal in Anglican Ecclesiology and Practice
Michael S. Northcott
The rise of the global market economy has advanced forms of centrist, corporatist and statist rule that are insensitive to local indicators that this novel social order is ecologically, and socially, unsustainable. For many political theologians, and for secular political ecologists, the related crises of species extinction and climate change, combined with structural economic crisis, require a fundamental relocalization of the global economy and of the harvesting of natural resources. The contest between the political economy of global 'free' trade and a relocalized economy and polity bears analogies with debates around the relation between the local and the universal in Christian ecclesiology. In the eucharistic body politics of Saint Paul Christian communion is focused in the eucharistic gathering. However, centrist tendencies in ecclesiastical polity emerged in fourth-century accounts of the universal church. The subsequent doctrine of the primacy of Peter gave a powerful push to centrist over localist accounts of the esse of the Church in the West, and the contest between local and universal in Anglican and Catholic ecclesiologies continues to this day. Orthodox theologians Zizioulas and Afanassieff, describe and fill out the doctrinal implications of a primitive ecclesiology in which 'the eucharist makes the church'.2 This recovery of a local eucharistic ecclesiology offers valuable resources for thinking about the nature of communion between Anglicans in a Communion increasingly riven by controversy, and for thinking about the nature of the parish in a Church of England prone in the last forty years to centrist and managerial conceptions of the Church, and to the denigration of the local parish church as the esse of the ministry and mission of the Church in England.

From Sixpenny Entry to Five Shilling Subscription: Charting Cathedral Outreach and Friends' Associations in the 1920s and 1930s
Judith A. Muskett
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 July 2011, pp. 94-118
All Anglican cathedrals in England have formal associations of Friends (like other institutions in the heritage sector). The majority arose in the 1920s/30s, a period that coincided with the gradual development of a focused outreach strategy by cathedrals, and the abandonment of sixpenny entrance fees. By analysing Letters to the Editor and news reports in The Times, this article explores the origins of cathedral Friends' associations. The sources illustrate the benefits of Friendship for both sides of the dyad: for the cathedrals, primarily the five shilling subscriptions and the creation of an informed supporter base; and for the members, mainly esoteric benefits. It is also demonstrated that, in the north, Friends' gifts directly replaced cathedral/diocesan resources being deployed for social welfare. A particular value in focusing on the history of the cathedral Friends' movement is that it highlights the history of the cathedrals themselves in this difficult inter-war period.

After the brilliant Mighty Avengers 'Secret Invasion' tie-in last week I know have high hopes for this - expect revelations!!
and... that is it really. Glamourpuss (previewed last week) and Crawlspace (previewed the week before) are finally out this week (apparently). Image are releasing the fourth TP of Bomb Queen in 'Suicide Bomber', and Wizard magazine reaches issue 200, and I'll be getting that.
Out of interest, Newsarama have an article keeping us up to date on who is who in Skrull terms here plus they make some predictions on who they think is part of the Skrull 'Secret Invasion' - it's an entertaining read.

Q: How do I install Cheese 3.0? After seeing an article on Cheese 3.0 and it's new effects some months back, it was going to be one of the major highlights of 11.04 to me.
Sadly, I find 3.0 is not in the repo; it has been released, just not soon enough before the freeze.
So how do I install Cheese 3.0 in Ubuntu 11.04?

A: You need GNOME 3 to run Cheese 3.0 while Ubuntu 11.04 has GNOME 2.32. So, what to do?
Wait a few weeks until the GNOME3 PPA has been throughly tested and install GNOME3 alongside to Unity. Then, you can install Cheese 3.0.
Instructions at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3
NOTE: Do not install the PPA yet. Currently the PPA is experimental, and there is no going back (removing GNOME3 to go back to Unity).

A: You can download Cheese 3.0.1 from:

*

*ftp://ftp.gnome.org/mirror/gnome.org/apps/3.0/3.0.1/sources/cheese-3.0.1.tar.gz
Extract the file, click on the extracted file named cheese-3.0.1 then click on the file named INSTALL which tells you how to go about installing Cheese 3.0.1
