International organizations in Kazakhstan join global campaign against gender-based violence
This year marks the 30 years since the launch of the global campaign by the Center for Women's Global Leadership in 1991 to raise awareness about violence against women, and this year it focuses on the problem of femicide, the gender-related killing of women. Over 6,000 organizations in nearly 187 countries have participated in the 16 Days Campaign since 1991 reaching nearly 300 million people.
In Nur-Sultan, the campaign kicked off with an exhibition called "Ordinary Things" convened by the United Nations office in Kazakhstan, the Canadian Embassy, the United Nations Population Fund in Kazakhstan (UNFPA), and UN Women with support from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan.
The exhibition which will last through December 10 displays different items that have their own story related to gender-related violence being either witnesses or tools of violence.
"Today, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we stand together to reaffirm our collective commitment to ending violence against women and girls. Despite the fact that the campaign has been going on for so long, violence against women continues to be prominent across the world and it is one of the most pressing human rights issues we see," said UN Resident Coordinator for Kazakhstan Michaela Friberg-Storey.
The organizers said that the purpose of the exhibition is to draw the public s attention to the problem of violence. According to data, 137 women die every day at the hands of their family members, and 1 in 3 experienced physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner at least once in her life. During the pandemic, violence against women and girls grew 25 percent.
"We want you to think about how violence destroys women and girls, families and societies. But violence is not inevitable, the right policies, right programs, right understanding, right resources bring results. But most importantly, right attitudes bring results," she said.
The chair of the Administrative Police Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Atygay Arystanov also spoke about the preventive measures that the ministry is taking to prevent domestic violence.
In Nur-Sultan, the akimat also plans a large-scale awareness-raising work involving representatives of government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, experts and volunteers, psychologists, mediators and inspectors for the protection of women from violence.
Experts will conduct training sessions for specialists working with families in crisis centers, school psychologists and parents.
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic last year has put millions of people around the world under unprecedented challenges related to lockdown and other restrictions, but it hit particularly hard people who face domestic violence and who had stuck at home face-to-face with their abusers.
Globally, even before the COVID-19 pandemic began, 1 in 3 women experienced physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner.
The shadow pandemic that has grown amidst the COVID-19 crisis requires a global collective effort until all women are safe.
"Even before the pandemic, violence against women was one of the most widespread violations of human rights. Since lockdown restrictions, domestic violence has multiplied, spreading across the world in a shadow pandemic. This is a critical time for action, from prioritizing essential services like shelter and support for women survivors to providing the economic support and stimulus packages needed for broader recovery," said Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN Women.


At R5 200, the BV6000 falls into the mid-range bracket. What makes the device most pleasing though, is that the money you're paying is not only going towards a rugged device, but also one that will stand you in good stead when you're away from the type of environment it's designed to handle.
The Blackview BV7000 Pro is a balanced product aimed at a wider audience beyond the traditional builders and ruggedised verticals.
Outdoor heavyweight. With the BV8000 Pro, Blackview brings an update to its outdoor smartphone series that is the successor to the BV7000. The features are remarkable: 6 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage, Full HD display, and a 16 Megapixel camera. In addition, it is IP-68 certified and has a fingerprint sensor and some other sensors that might be helpful in an outdoor smartphone.
Jelenleg a legtöbb üzletből 249.69 dollárért lehet beszerezni a Blackview BV8000 Pro készüléket, amely jelenlegi árfolyamon körülbelül nettó 62 ezer magyar Forintot jelent.
Of course, you should be treating everything you own with a reasonable amount of care, but sometimes accidents just happen. Maybe you're prone to dropping your phone in the toilet, or maybe you work outdoors in the rain a lot. Maybe you're just really clumsy. Either way, a rugged phone might be for you, and right now, the Blackview BV8000 Pro is a great choice at a reasonable price.
While the design of the BV8000 Pro might not appeal to everyone, it should rank high on your list if you're looking for a ruggedised phone with high-end features.
The low price point $143.99 (roughly Php7319.30 before taxes and other fees), the mid-range hardware, lack of updates, and security features are a small compromise for what is an almost indestructible build. If you're looking for a low-cost, hard-wearing phone that is suitable for travel and an active lifestyle, then the BV7000 might be worth looking into.
Powerful brick. Back in August, we had the BV8000 Pro in review. Today, we are proud to present its successor, the BV9000, and you better watch out: That thing is a massive brick and most likely tougher than a human being. It also marks a point in time where Blackview is the only OEM with two current outdoor smartphones listed in our database. The newcomer shares several features with its own predecessor. In some aspects Blackview has managed to improve upon the phone, in others the company has made it worse. Let's take a closer look and find out what exactly this means in our extensive review of the BV9000.
The BV9000 Pro is a mixed bag, and there are no real unique selling points that will wow you away from the competition, or indeed its cheaper siblings.
The Chinese manufacturer Blackview sells smartphones at affordable prices that are typically attractive for fans of the outdoors. The quality and craftsmanship of the BV5800 Pro is outstanding, but our previous reviews of Blackview devices have all had a problem or two. Find out in this review whether the BV5800 Pro follows suit or whether Blackview has finally created an issue-free smartphone.
Blackview's budget handset targets outdoor workers with a phone that's tougher than the rest.
The Blackview BV5800 Pro, however, makes a compelling case that rugged phones could be mainstream devices. Mediocre internal specifications aside, the phone checks almost every desirable box.

I've had OCD even before I knew what a mental disorder was. My parents used to make me go to sunday school and catholic church when I was like 7, and I believed in god and hell back then. I thought just thinking of a curse word was a sin so I had to conciously try to not think about words, which was awful.
Also my dad told me that thinking or saying the N word is the worst sin. So I had to block that out too. Even years later it just repeated over and over in my mind, like an audio loop.
My OCD went away for the most part for the next few years, or atleast lessened, but I started focusing on my breathing and I was aware of it, and I constantly felt the urge to yawn or take a deep breath, but I couldn't. It felt like I was suffocating. I think it's called "Pure O". That lasted for like 2 months, worst 2 months of my life.
So, has anyone else had their OCD wax and wane from time to time? Or does the severity always stay the same?
Mine has been constant since I was five. No breaks.

Caroni 1994 Velier 23 Year Old 100 Proof Heavy / Guyana Stock
Lot: 003648
Winning Bid: £325.00
Production method:
The Caroni distillery is said to have been established in 1918, however there are several historical references that suggest distilling was happening there earlier in the 20th century. It became part of the Tate & Lyle firm in 1936, who used it as a base for expanding their eventually considerable sugar operations in Trinidad. Caroni was a key ingredient of the British Navy rations, where its famous high-ester 'Heavy' rums helped to make up the signature flavour. Sadly, with the decline of the Trinidadian sugar industry, the island's remaining rum producers became increasingly dependent upon imported molasses, making distilling less economical. Tate & Lyle sold a 51% controlling stake to the Trinidadian government in 1970, before it became fully nationalised in 1975. The newly established Caroni Ltd continued to lose money for the next 25 years until the government tried to minimise its ownership, selling off 49% of its share, just enough to retain control. Angostura were the preferred bidders, but a dispute over the value of Caroni's warehoused stock scuppered the deal, and Caroni was closed for good in 2003.
As it transpired, Angostura still acquired the majority of the circa 18,000 warehoused Caroni barrels, but perhaps the most important share went to Italian distributors, Velier. In 2004, their inimitable CEO, Luca Gargano, travelled to Trinidad for a photo shoot and happened upon the boarded-up distillery, brokering a deal for some of its stock in 2005. He released eight Caroni bottlings that year, alongside his first cask strength collaborations with Demerara Distillers Ltd, which includes the hugely important Skeldon bottlings. This was a landmark year that not only changed the landscape of rum but was the genesis for the legendary status that Caroni rum now holds amongst collectors and connoisseurs alike.
This is a "double matured" rum, distilled in 1994 and aged in its native Trinidad until 2008. The barrels were then transferred to Demerara Distillers Ltd's warehouses in Guyana where they were selected by Luca Gargano for this release in 2017. This was the first of the Guyana stock to be bottled and at the time was the oldest tropically matured Caroni to have been released.
This was Velier's 36th Caroni release.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Damon Bullock ran for 150 yards and scored on a late 23-yard touchdown run to lead Iowa to an 18-17 victory over Northern Illinois in the season opener on Saturday.
The Hawkeyes simply got all they could handle from the reigning Mid-American Conference champions but came out on top after trailing most of the way.
They were down 17-12 when Bullock ran untouched around the left end to put them ahead by one. That happened after Iowa downed a punt at the NIU 1, pinning the Huskies against the goal line.
Rather than take a safety, Northern Illinois punted. Iowa took over on the 24 and Bullock ran it in on third down. The 2-point conversation failed, but the defense held its ground, giving Iowa a tense victory at Soldier Field.
Bullock came up big with the Hawkeyes' running back rotation depleted, and quarterback James Vandenberg taking a beating. Vandenberg was sacked six times and threw for 129 yards.
Jordan Lynch threw for just 54 yards in his first start as Northern Illinois' quarterback but ran for 119. That included a 73-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter to give the Huskies a 17-9 lead, after his fumble on the first drive of the half led to a field goal for Iowa.
The Hawkeyes are eyeing a big jump after two frustrating seasons following the 2009 Orange Bowl season. A 15-11 record during that stretch and a pair of 4-4 finishes in the Big Ten simply didn't sit well, and the Hawkeyes are looking for more.
They brought in longtime Texas coordinator Greg Davis to spruce up an offense that had become so predictable by the end of last season, but fans who were hoping to see a little more flash didn't exactly get that.
Instead, the Hawkeyes pounded the ball even though five players expected to compete for carries were not on the field. And they came up short a few too many times when they had shots at the end zone.
Take this sequence early in the second half.
Trailing by four, Iowa took over on the NIU 14 after Joe Gaglione stripped Lynch of the ball on the first drive of the half. But instead of a touchdown to take the lead, the Hawkeyes settled for a field goal by Mike Meyer after they converted a fourth down at the 5 and stalled at the 3.
Worse for Iowa, Aidan Conlon sprung Lynch with a block on the next possession for a 73-yard touchdown run up the right side that bumped Northern Illinois' lead to 17-9. Another threat early in the fourth quarter ended with a field goal for Iowa -- a 50-yarder by Meyer after Vandenberg got sacked for 10 yards by Sean Evans with the ball on the 26.

Ipswich partners Russell Osman and Terry Butcher made their debuts together at the heart of the England defence, and there was also a first cap for Alan Sunderland, who was substituted by another debutant in Peter Ward. Neither player was selected by England again. David Armstrong won the first of his three caps.

The King's Speech By David Seidler - » Reviews
Different from the film, but just as satisfying. Fascinating to see the stage version of David Seidler's The King's Speech, which was a theatre play before it became an Oscar-winning film….to see the stammering, frustrated George VI before a live audience as he makes his closing speech to the people becomes a powerful moment and […]
by Caroline McGinn
Ex-RSC boss Adrian Noble has mustered the acting aristocracy for this moving, slightly staid spinoff from the stately Oscar-winning movie. Joss Ackland gives a gruff, impressive cameo as the old King George V, who reminisces about the pre-media days when a king simply had to 'look smart in uniform and not fall off his horse', […]
A fresh chance for David Seidler's original to shine
by Henry Hitchings
At the heart of this stage version of the Oscar-winning The King's Speech is a superb performance by Charles Edwards, a fine actor who deserves to be better known. Edwards is of course vying with Colin Firth, so good in Tom Hooper's film. But before it reached the big screen, The King's Speech was a […]
by Libby Purves
For my money, the original play is better than the film: more about Logue's long-suffering wife, more about the politics and a fantastic, moving, funny, credible central performance from Charles Edwards tells the story of George VI and how his disabling stammer (and the stiffness of old-fashioned royalty) were cured by a self-confident untrained Australian […]
The Kings Speech – Theatre Royal, Nottingham, and touring
by Patrick Marmion
What a weight of expectation lies on David Seidler's play. It's only the original version of a film that trails Oscars and other awards like so many pots on a tinkers wagon. But the good news is that the play rises to the film with all the pride and emotional moment of George VI to […]
The King's Speech (Tour – Newcastle)
by John Dixon
Words such as mesmerising, spellbinding and riveting are simply not good enough, when even a five star review falls short in awarding enough praise. Simply, The King's Speech is theatre at its finest. Obviously best known as a smash hit Oscar winning film, The King's Speechwas conceived as a play originally and now it rightly has the opportunity […]
by Georgina Brown
Theatres across the country are littered with films that have been made into spectacularly successful musicals, The Lion King and Legally Blonde to name but two. Even the less good ones – The Wizard of Oz, Shrek, Ghost – effortlessly find an audience. But what of straight plays that were movies first? The 39 Steps […]
The King's Speech at Yvonne Arnaud, Guildford
You need not be a monarchist to feel, 60 years after his early death, a slightly tearful affection for poor George VI. A stammering, reluctant monarch he stands at a BBC microphone in 1939, struggling through his first momentous wartime broadcast. OK, it is a bit manipulative of director Adrian Noble to add the faint […]
REVIEW: THE KING'S SPEECH, YVONNE ARNAUD THEATRE, GUILDFORD
by Neil Norman
THE myth that Britain's most successful independent film was discovered as a fringe play can now be dispelled. Although screenwriter David Seidler originally wrote it as a play he was persuaded to turn it into a screenplay before it had ever taken a breath on stage. And while the premiere of his original theatrical […]
The King's Speech, Yvonne Arnaud Theatre – review
Before it graced the big screen, The King's Speech was, briefly, a play. A reading at the Pleasance Theatre in Islington brought David Seidler's piece to the attention of film director Tom Hooper. But only now, four Oscars later, is it returning to the stage. Few people will need telling that the story deals with […]
The King's Speech, touring, review
by Charles Spencer
On the face of it, this stage version of The King's Speech might seem surplus to requirements, just a cynical attempt to squeeze a few more quid out of the Oscar-winning movie. Yet judging by the audience's rapt, warm reaction at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford, I have a hunch it will prove a […]

The King's Speech on stage – review
by Michael Billington
Watching David Seidler's play induces a strong sense of deja vu. That's not simply because it was the source of a hugely successful, Oscar-winning film. It is also because Seidler's perfectly enjoyable play taps into our recollections of other, more resonant works. Until I saw it on stage, I had not realised how much Seidler's […]

Centre reviews service records of over 1,100 IAS officers to check 'deadwood'
PTI New Delhi | Updated on April 26, 2019 Published on April 26, 2019

The officials said there are many states who had not carried out the review despite the Centre's reminder
The service records of over 1,100 officers of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) have been reviewed by the Centre in about past four years to check deadwood from the Government.
The review was done by the Central Government following a strict criteria with respect to officers who had completed 25 years of service or attained 50 years of age, officials said.
The review of service records of a total of 1,143 IAS officers was carried out under Rule 16 (3) of All India Services (Death-cum-Retirement Benefits ) Rules, 1958 during 2015 and 2018 to check non-performers, the officials said.
The rules says that the Central Government in consultation with the state government concerned may ask an IAS officer to retire in public interest by giving at least three months previous notice in writing or three months' pay and allowances in lieu of such notice.
Of the total of 1,143 officers, four -- two from Chhattisgarh cadre, one each from Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram and Union Territories (or AGMUT cadre) and Bihar cadre-- were recommended for premature retirement from the service in public interest, they said, without disclosing the names of the officers concerned.
As many as 5,104 officers of the IAS, considered the 'steel frame' of India, are working across the country, according to a Personnel Ministry data.
The officials said there are many states who had not carried out the review despite the Centre's reminder.
"The states of Andhra Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana, Tripura and Uttarakhand have not carried out intensive review of record of officers in respect of 25 years of service," a senior official said citing an official data.
He said timely review of service record was necessary to check corruption and deadwood from the governance.
"The Central Government has been following a policy of zero tolerance towards corruption. At the same time it is necessary to conduct a thorough review of officers so that they do not lack in performing their duty towards people. Those found non-performing need to bid good bye from the government service and the ones performing need to be rewarded to ensure god governance," the official added.

Netting News 44 - Around the World!
Right now a lot of new research is coming from Uganda, Kenya, and much of the East African coast. Outbreaks of malaria have been one of the region's most dangerous diseases and have plagued the area for many years. In 2016, malaria killed 16,000 people in Kenya alone.
Thankfully, there are solutions in sight. The National Malaria Strategy of 2001/10 has been increasing its distribution of specialty insecticide-treated mosquito nets in an effort to shield people from the disease-carrying mosquitoes. And though the infection rates are still climbing, a vaccine is currently in development.
While the vaccine is a promising development for the future, for the time being our only combatant is to protect the individuals at risk with netting. In 2001 a trial was started to send out about 700,000 mosquito nets. As of 2006, 3.4 million nets have been dispensed, lowering the infection rate in that area from 42 percent to 19 percent.
The U.S. Commerce Department has reported that the construction industry saw an unexpected rise in revenue in September, up 0.3 percent to $1.22 trillion. This is a positive sign for the industry, considering September was expected to remain on the same track as August.
However, non-residential spending has dropped to the lowest numbers reported since April 2016. This decrease could be the result of the natural slowdown that occurs with the onset of cold winter weather. We'll see how this impacts production for the third quarter.
Duct Tape - For quick fixes and a variety of uses.
Emergency Blanket - This will keep you warm in the event of being stranded.
Kitty Litter - Will provide grip and traction in the event of being stuck.
Jumper Cables - When the temperature drops, many batteries will lose power.
Tow Straps - To tow you or others out a ditch, off the side of the road, etc.
First Aid Kit - Useful in case of any injuries suffered during a winter accident.
Many other items may also be used or needed in the time of danger; however, these are some of the most basic materials that will help you survive a winter weather emergency.


A statement of unity in diversity, As It Was In the Beginning deals with the tug of humanity to find identity while seeking individuality. A thin red lines runs across all three paintings. The first and last share a mirror image vertical red line designating a beginning and an end. And yet the horizontal line continues before and after calls to mind eternity. Chaos is brought into order in this triptych and opens up the hope that order and beauty are possible.


The design process begins with a casual meeting. We will discuss the spaces, your goals, your style and aesthetic, and your budget. This will be the time to take initial measurements and make a rough sketch the areas that will be included in the design.
Information gathered in the initial meeting are then translated into more detailed plans. Layouts carefully consider architectural details, such as scale, proportion, and functionality. Designs can be drafted in AutoCAD for planning purposes or technical specifications. We can also create a 3-D rendering of the area to help preview the design results.
Once layout is determined, it is time to prepare and review furniture, fixture and finish options. Vision boards help translate the space plans into more detailed selections showing how each of the design elements come together.
Once the design is complete and selections are finalized, the procurement process begins. Finishes and furnishings are selected from a diverse set of vendors that are unique to nearly every designer. These relationships are defining benefits, since most craftspeople only work within the trade. Wholesale pricing and access to skilled, local artisans are are under-appretiated benefits of working with a designer.
Brooks Vale Design will coordinate purchasing, delivery, and installation. These last two steps are also important points to consider. Procurement could include hundreds of purchases that require several installations. With this in mind, coordinating a common destination and synchronizing as much of the process as possible helps avoid repeated interruptions created by the design process. Scheduling installations carefully leads up to a climatic moment when new spaces are revealed.

All hostages must be released immediately
04 May 2000, 12:00am
'Taking innocent civilians hostage is an appalling abuse of human rights. The actions of the Abu Sayyaf only serve to exacerbate escalating violence in the south of the country,' Amnesty International said.
The hostages include a group of Filipino schoolChildren's rights, teachers and a priest held for more than six weeks, and 21 foreign tourists and workers abducted over a week ago from the Malaysian holiday resort island of Sipadan.
The Philippine authorities announced today that several of 22 schoolChildren's rights abducted by the Abu Sayyaf on the island of Basilan more than six weeks ago have been rescued, following repeated military assaults on the Abu Sayyaf hideout. However concern has mounted for the safety of the remaining Children's rights, teachers and a priest, amid reports that some of the hostages have been killed. The Abu Sayyaf also claimed to have beheaded two schoolteachers in the group.
'All sides to the conflict in southern Philippines, both opposition groups and armed forces, have been responsible for violating international human rights and humanitarian law. By holding civilians hostage under threat of death, members of this armed group are committing one more brutal act in an escalating spiral of violence in the region,' the organisation said.
The Abu Sayyaf has claimed that one foreign hostage held on Jolo was killed by a stray bullet and another died of a heart attack, after fighting broke out yesterday between the rebels and government troops surrounding the area. Government officials have denied the claims. The hostages have since been moved to an unknown location and their current state of health is uncertain.
A Filipino doctor who was able to visit the Jolo hostages recently recommended urgent hospitalisation of at least two of them. All are reported to be weak, hungry and dehydrated, with many suffering from diarrhorea.
Foreign diplomats yesterday urged a peaceful resolution to the hostage crisis and have called on the Philippine government to avoid any military action which could harm them.
'It is imperative that all parties to the conflict - both opposition groups and the armed forces - respect international humanitarian law and basic human rights,' the organisation added.
Political tensions on the southern island of Mindanao and neighbouring islands, continuing since the 1970s, have heightened in recent months. Thousands of civilians have fled their homes as armed conflict has escalated.
The Abu Sayyaf is the smaller of two armed opposition groups fighting for a separate Islamic state, and has periodically engaged in kidnappings for ransom. It is believed to have several hundred members. Sporadic peace talks between the Philippine Government and the largest armed Islamic separatist group, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), have continued to falter, amid hostilities on both sides. In January 2000, President Estrada announced an extension until the end of June of the deadline for the conclusion of the peace talks and called for 'all-out war' if they fail. However, on 1 May the MILF announced the negotiations would be suspended indefinitely and blamed the government for an escalation in military attacks.
In recent years, armed opposition groups and other vigilante groups in Mindanao have been responsible for human rights abuses, including hostage-taking and killings. The Philippine armed forces have also committed human rights violations in the context of counter-insurgency operations, including extrajudicial executions, torture, 'disappearances' and indiscriminate killings of civilians.
The Philippine Government has responded to the recent escalation in violence by mobilizing a larger contingency of armed forces in the region and announcing plans to expand the number of militia groups, including the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Units (CAFGUs). Such militia groups were notorious for committing widespread human rights violations during the 1980s and early 1990s.
Amnesty International condemns abuses committed by armed opposition groups; its stand however does not imply recognition, or condemnation of that group, nor does it constitute a comment on the legitimacy of its goals or political program.

Avi Networks this week moved to bridge the divide between IT automation frameworks and underlying infrastructure and security services by eliminating the need for custom scripts to configure network resources. The latest version of the company's Avi application delivery fabric for managing IT infrastructure has been directly integrated with the Ansible from Red Hat and Terraform from HashiCorp frameworks.
These days, cloud environments are dynamic, with constantly changing resources. By tying its own automation tools with Ansible and Terraform, Avi hopes to eliminate the need to write custom code. Avi believes that IT operations are likely to embrace IT automation frameworks that can span both on-premises and cloud services, says Guru Chahal, vice president of product for Avi Networks.
"This is a zero-code approach to automation," says Chahal.
The end goal is to make it simpler to manage IT based on intent, which Chahal says is too difficult to achieve using legacy network and security appliances. Chahal contends it is much simpler to achieve that goal using a fabric that provides a common level of abstraction above the IT infrastructure using an Avi engine that can declaratively configure and update a hybrid IT environment via an IT automation framework. The Avi framework also provides built-in load balancing, monitoring, and web application firewall capabilities, says Chahal.
IT automation frameworks have been around now for some time. But the percentage of IT organizations employing those frameworks remains relatively modest, mainly because the average administrator has limited to no coding skills. Chahal says the integration with Ansible and Terraform enables administrators to express their intent regarding, for example, what level of performance they want a specific service to be able to maintain using a simple graphical user interface.
Chahal says Avi Networks decided to start with two open-source automation frameworks, which it plans to expand on in the months ahead.
Thanks to the rise of agile programming tools, the rate at which applications are being deployed into a production environment has accelerated significantly in the last few years. That shift is putting a lot of pressure on administrators to find ways to provision network and security services faster, which is difficult to achieve relying on a command line interface (CLIs) to program one appliance at a time.
It's not clear to what degree administrators are ever going to be willing to give up their CLIs. But whether they like it or not, it may now be, one way or another, only a matter of time.

SongArc updated to version 2.0, gains search and higher resolution support
November 28, 2021 December 5, 2013 by Ron
SongArc is a music-based game with a difference for Windows Phone. Taking cues from titles like Guitar Hero, this is a game that lets you play along to the music you love -- it is essentially an exercise in rhythm-matching, but it is highly addictive and a real time-killer.
Just as in Guitar Hero, as music plays you are presented with a series of on-screen notes that you must tap at the right time. It's one of those games that is very simple to play; easy to pick up but very difficult to master.
The game spent a little while in beta, but now this is over and new features and options are being added. While the game is free to play, you need to 'purchase' play sheets using in-game coins. It is possible to earn free coins by sharing the games on social networks, and by just launching the app, but you can also purchase extras with cash if you need more.
Version 2.0 has now hit the Windows Phone Store and it is already developing into a mature product that's well worth a look.
Here's the full changelog:
Search song titles and artists
Song position indicator
Redesigned Sheet Details Screen
Native Windows Phone 8 support, including an extremely crisp 720p and 768p design!
Bug fixes, performance and usability improvements
Check it out and let us know what you think!

Diet session ends, Hague Convention on Int'l Child Abductions endorsement bill not passed
Posted on September 11, 2012 September 11, 2012 by Debito Arudou, Ph.D.
Books etc. by ARUDOU Debito (click on icon):
Hi Blog. After much political gridlock (the likes of which have not been seen, since, oh, the LDP was in power and the DPJ controlled the Upper House — not that long ago), the current Diet session is over, and one bill that matters to Debito.org did not pass: The one endorsing Japan's accession to the Hague Convention on International Child Abductions. You know — the treaty that just about everyone else in the club of rich developed nations has signed, and the one that stops you at an international border if you're traveling single with a child, demanding proof that you're not abducting your child from the other parent. It's a good idea, since divorce in Japan due to the Koseki Family Registry System results in one parent (regardless of nationality) losing all legal ties to the child, and leads in many (almost all, it's estimated) cases to the child growing up with no contact whatsoever (since Japan does not allow joint custody) with the noncustodial parent. It's even worse for international marriages, and Japan has gotten a lot of pressure from other countries in recent years to sign. Now unsuccessfully.
Entire movie at http://crnjapan.net/The_Japan_Childrens_Rights_Network/itn-sbfaja.html
Well, so Japan will remain a haven for child abductions, both domestic and international. But the interesting thing I'm seeing concrete evidence of these days is overseas Japanese taking advantage of this system, banding together to assist each other in abducting their children to Japan, and the Japanese embassies/consulates cooperating with them as they spirit them into Japan. (I'll blog about that someday once I receive permission to make that information public.)
But as I have argued before, I'm not sure it really matters if Japan signs the Hague. The GOJ has signed other treaties before (most notably the Convention for Elimination on Racial Discrimination), and refuses to enforce them under domestic laws with criminal penalties (or in Japan's case regarding the CERD, now signed 17 years ago, refuses to create any laws at all). In the Hague's case, the GOJ was looking for ways to caveat themselves out of enforcing it (by creating laws of their own advantageous to Wajin spiriters of children that would trump the HCICA, or finding loopholes, such as claims of DV (that only NJ inflict upon us gentle, mild, weak, peaceful Wajin), that would allow the children to stay in Japan out of fear.)
Or, true to character, we'll have people claiming that it's a matter of "Japanese custom" (shuukan) the last resort for any unjustifiable situation (only this time coming from elected Japanese Dietmember Ido Masae who herself abducted her kids):
http://www.crnjapan.net/The_Japan_Childrens_Rights_Network/blg-jldpac.html
It's pretty messy, by design, so visit the Children's Rights Network Japan Website to try and untangle it.
So I guess the question I'd like to open up for discussion is:
Is it better for a nation-state to be bold-faced about it and just say, "We can't enforce this treaty due to our culture, so we're not going to sign it, and if you don't like it, don't marry our citizens"? Or, is it better for a nation-state to sign it, not enforce it, and face the (geopolitically mild) pressure of a broken promise? I know which route the GOJ has taken so far. Arudou Debito

Rocky, extended Diet session over; bills, treaties left in lurch
Hague, vote-value, deficit bond measures fail to clear grudge fest
The Japan Times, September 8, 2012
By MASAMI ITO Staff writer
Excerpt, rest at http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nn20120908a2.html
The extended 229-day Diet session closes with a whimper Saturday, with piles of important bills and treaties left unaddressed and voters left only with an image of lawmakers engaging in political maneuvering for their own goals — particularly those over the contentious sales tax hike and over the next Lower House election.
And now both the ruling Democratic Party of Japan and the Liberal Democratic Party are focused on one thing — the presidential elections for both parties to be held this month to choose the leaders who will guide their parties in that next general election…
During the current Diet session, which started in January, only 66 percent of newly submitted government-sponsored bills cleared both chambers.
Political squabbling took center stage last month when the nonbinding censure motion against Noda was approved by the Upper House, stopping almost all Diet deliberations.
Thus the government also failed to live up to its promise to the international community to pass a bill to endorse the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction to prevent estranged parents from spiriting a couple's children across borders.

Eric Kalmus says:
I really never thought it was anything more than lip service. I recall the first time I heard the Japanese state they would sign…. About 10 years ago now.
Welp says:
They only made any moves regarding the convention while it was making news in the rest of the world. Once the international spotlight left the subject, so did the Japanese government's purportings of intending to sign up. The storm has passed and now we can all go back to pretending there isn't a problem that needs addressing.
Flyjin says:
This is why I divorced;before I had kids with a Japanese. I now feel vindicated that I made the right decision. I would not want to lose my kids.
Mari fujisawa says:
Even if you are both Japanese, the mother still has the priority to get the child, disappear and make her own demands…my son is fighting over his rights for access to his 5 month old daughter..we are seeking help from the family court…nothing is happening..yet the wife continues to make demands..and all are ears to her…totally unfair and a very one way situation…we are devastated!
Japan has such deeply held feelings regarding "race" that this legislation is unlikely to ever pass, it would seem.
Mr B says:
I honestly thing sometimes that the best way to get Japan to do anything as a nation might be to simple shame it in front of the face of the world. A documentary on child abduction at a film festival. A group effort by NGO's to make a website of stories or a book of the stolen children and what the parents are facing. Interviews and statements put by the politicians and the sort of information put here.
Humiliate and shame the entire country for allowing such a travesty to take place. There is simply no excuse. "Culture" makes it ok? Go back to the dark ages with that excuse Japan.
— Regarding your first paragraph: That's all being done, actually.
@ Mr. B above, well it worked with "The Cove", sort of. But for the American right, that seemed like a tree huggers' cause, ditto whaling. Hopefully with the case of child abductions, the problem cuts right across the political spectrum.
On the other hand, Japan sells its fantasy image best, so no doubt there will still be a large segment of youth, mainly, but also the Donald Keene types who have bought into the cliches/anime/cosplay aspects of Japan and will refuse to think about anything "political".
Until a J divorce with kids involved happens to them.
(few typos in the first post, sorry about that)
Seriously? Was completely unaware of that sadly. Hope word gets out and advertising is done so that the issue and material gets noticed. You have a link to the said material, a documentary, NGO webpages with parents stories and such?
— Er… read my blog post. There's a link to the Children's Rights Network Japan, as well as an embedded share of an Australian documentary. Also, see upcoming movie (which I've also talked about here on Debito.org before, so do some research) premiering soon at the Philadelphia Film Festival, called FROM THE SHADOWS.
Who's surprised?
It should at least be considered as a possibility that Japan will not effect such a change for many, many years.
In much the way that Saudi Arabia will not change for decades or centuries regarding many aspects of basic human rights, so too with Japan.
What may be true is that in any situation like this, in which the interests of J are competing with those of NJ, and in which a win for one is a loss for the other, that the bulk of all J will strongly and reflexively always support the J.
A bit like Saudi Arabia in which the interests of Saudi Muslims are always more important than non-Muslims, and so custody must always be awarded to a Muslim.
It would be useful to have data on popular sentiment amongst J to better understand the depth and intensity of nativist views.
Attached is a link regarding the issue of child abductions involving the USA and its neighbour Mexico.

Mr D says:
It's very far from PC to refer to such-and-such-group as animals, but there is something genuinely
animal about Japan's "a child stays with its mother" approach to which Masae Ido refers. That is
what many lesser creatures do. It seems plausible that it is what most humans did until relatively recently, which is why there is a striking ring of truth to Ms. Ido's claim that "It's a custom".
seattlefather says:
An interesting turn of events in this arena is that my ex has once again not been granted custody by the Tokyo family court. Our son has now been there 4 years and the TFC is saying he is only here visiting and that custody jurisdiction remains in the States. Waiting to find out if an appeal was filed. Some things can change….. A little.
"Shuukan", sigh. Well Ido had to say that as otherwise she is admitting she is a criminal in some countries. Which she is. Then again, it is arguably a Japanese custom to have criminal lawmakers…so they can change the law to decrimalize their crime or remain immune from prosecution!
So it is a Japanese custom to abduct children and deprive the other party of visiting rights. Olympus is the other recent example, this time the Japanese custom is fiddling the books and corruption.
Maybe we NJs (irony mine) should just accept the reality that the customs of Japan are child abduction and corruption, bribery, racism, exclusionism etc.
"It is a Japanese custom to be (racist) but its not exactly (racist) because its Japanese"- even an apologist approach sounds damning.Or damned hilarious.
This would be far more honest and enable businesses to realise that they might as well take their business to China instead (or somewhere else in the world) as its rapidly becoming six of one and half a dozen of the other!
A sad state of affairs when the once great "westernized" country of Japan starts to resemble Communist China in terms of lawlessness…by lawmakers.
Tim Johnston says:
If you marry a Japanese and are a foreigner, make sure you get the divorce papers translated first.
The wife will know how she can trick you, by using her puppet government who only keeps prime ministers on an average for 1 year to use the social welfare system and racist courts to abduct or alienate your child.
It's very unfortunate for a foreign father, who is in Japan and has a child and then has no rights within the country in which he resides. You would think the U.S. would help in this situation??
Yet they are also hypocrites. Japan and Japanese can't seem to communicate or have an opinion to make any rules or laws.
They can blame other countries for unfair acts or violations, yet within Japan nobody seems to have power or a voice. Its an utter joke. Japan needs to grab it's balls and behave like the third largest economy.
I'm utterly appauled by the Japanese lack of government and fairness in global issues. In 2012 Japan lags behind in huuman rights issues and is in no means moving in a positive direction.
Very sad situation within the Japanese political system/Family courts/Lawyers/City Halls and the U.S. Governmentsupporting such a Hypocritical lawless island.

Someday a Chinese or Taiwanese or Korean is going to steal a child back, get it to their embassy and then all heck will break loss (considering how much love these countries have for japan, and vice verse)
Odorikakeru says:
Ben, I don't think that'll help you much, as those countries aren't signatories to the Hague Convention, either (except for Hong Kong and Macau, apparently).
Source: http://travel.state.gov/abduction/resources/congressreport/congressreport_1487.html
Exactly the point: once a child is on their territory they can claim what ever they want to, most likely what ever gives their nationals glee and ticks off the Japanese most.
Karjh12 says:
I applied to the Australian Family Court to have my son put on an airport/departure point
watch list and succeeded. The Family Court also ordered that the Japanese Embassy be made aware
of these orders as well as the Australian Embassy in Tokyo.
All done so the message I wish to say is to be proactive to participate in your child's life
FYI: Dietmember "Child abduction is a Japanese custom" Ido Masae lost her seat very decisively in the December 16, 2012 election:
http://senkyo.news.goo.ne.jp/list/hyogo/01/
At the risk of being repitious (but it is close to my heart)
Great news but it won't change things
If you are married to a Japanese and there are marital issues get your kids out of Japan as soon as possible
1) to a Hague Convention Country
2)apply to the courts of that country to have the child/children placed on a departure point
watch list .Airports and shipping. This is what happens in Australia
3)Be sure to notify the local Japanese Embassy or Consulate of the court decision
This makes it impossible for the Japanese spouse to have a Japanese
passport issued in the child's name using the spouse's maiden name on the child's passport
Besides it makes the diplomatic staff go very quiet when personally handed a copy of the
4)Be reasonable and allow the Japanese spouse joint access but this doesn't happen in Japan
There is Skype and the Japanese spouse is always welcome to purchase a cheap airfare
for a ( extended ) visit but whatever keep your kids out of Japan

Some strengths and weaknesses in the Green Party platform
Seth Klein
My recent post comparing the NDP and Liberal election positions to date drew some criticism for leaving out the Green Party. So hoping to rectify that with this post on what I see as some strengths and weaknesses of the Green plan.
On Sept. 9, The Green Party became the first of the major parties to release their full election platform, along with a costed budget for their plans.
Overall, it's a pretty good document. It contains some big and bold ideas we aren't hearing from others – public dental insurance for low-income children and youth; abolishing tuition fees for college, university and skills training programs and capping student debt at $10,000; ending thermal coal exports; and legalizing and taxing marijuana. And their overall fiscal plan is more ambitious than we've heard from other parties (although only mildly so; I'd say it constitutes more of a jump forward than a Leap.)
Like the NDP, the Greens would introduce a federal minimum wage of $15/hour. And similar to the NDP, the Greens are wisely proposing to increase the general corporate income tax rate back to 19%, the level that existed in 2009, raising $7-8 billion a year (the NDP in contrast would raise it to 17% from the current 15%).
But sadly, also like the NDP (and the Conservatives): the Greens are running on a commitment to balance the budget right out of the gate (in fact they would run surpluses), a nonsensical position I critiqued in my earlier post; the Greens say they would keep the Conservatives' so-called Universal Child Care Benefit (the CCPA's Alternative Federal Budget is in agreement with the Liberals on this one – it's a poor use of public dollars and benefits wealthy families who don't need it); and while it is not in their budget plan, the Greens ill-advisedly say they are in agreement with cutting the small business tax rate to 9% (you can find good critiques of this policy by CCPA economists here and here, although I am pleased to note that the NDP now says it would close the loopholes that allow wealthy individuals to use private businesses to inappropriately engage in income-splitting and to shelter income).
Like both the NDP and the Liberals, the Greens would sensibly cancel income-splitting for families with children, and would freeze annual contributions to Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) at $5,000 – measures that disproportionately benefit the wealthiest Canadians. And the Greens have joined both the NDP and the Liberals in saying they are committed to expanding the Canada Pension Plan (although the details are unclear).
But as is often the case with platforms, there is a disconnect between the loftiness of the words and the substances of the budget numbers (always look to the dollars, as they reveal much about priorities!).
For example, the Greens rightly trumpet the benefits of a National Pharmacare plan, but are only proposing a modest phase in, budgeting only $300 million a year.
Similarly, the Greens have long touted that they would introduce a bold Guaranteed Livable Income to end poverty (an idea certainly worthy of debate and consideration). But the platform, while speaking to this, does not include this in its budget. In effect, the Greens merely propose to work with the provinces to roll existing income support systems into a GLI. That might simplify various bureaucracies, and would certainly make for a less punitive system, but without new federal dollars on the table it is unlikely to make a significant dent in poverty.
The Greens say they want to ensure high-quality affordable child care, but the amount they have budgeted for early childhood education, $1 billion/year, is quite small if we hope to realize that goal (what they budget is substantially less than the NDP). Their preferred approach seems to be to give tax incentives for employers to create workplace-based child care spaces, an approach that has not proven particularly effective, and is at odds with the Green's orientation towards small business (who are rarely in a position to offer workplace care).
With respect to tackling climate change: The centerpiece of the Green's platform – the single largest budget and climate measure proposed by a wide margin – is a carbon "Fee and Dividend Plan" (it is in effect a carbon tax, which they dub a "fee"). The Greens propose to charge a carbon tax of $30 per tonne (equivalent to BC's current carbon tax). They estimate this will raise approximately $22 billion a year. Given the centrality of this proposal it merits special attention. I see three core weaknesses with it:

While $30 a tonne may be an acceptable starting point, holding at this low level (as the Greens do for their five-year budget plan), the fee is unlikely to bring about the kinds of sweeping consumption and investment changes the party hopes. While many like to point to the success of BC's carbon tax, the simple reality is that GHG emissions in BC have increased every year since 2010 (we have data up to 2013), with a big drop in 2009 primarily due to the recession. In contrast, most economists who have studied carbon pricing reckon a carbon tax must rise to $200/tonne or more to bring about the scope of GHG emissions needed (something the CCPA modeled how to progressively structure in this study by Marc Lee.

The estimated income generated of about $22 billion is likely overstated. The CCPA's AFB estimates that a national harmonized $30/tonne carbon tax would raise about $16 billion. Among the reasons for the discrepancy is that it's very hard to place a fee on some GHG sources (such as agricultural and waste methane), and if a national tax or fee is to be harmonized with what already exists in some provinces one has to discount for that.

But point 2 is perhaps a sidebar to what is my main critique of the Green fee and dividend plan. Because what, you may ask, do the Greens propose to do with all the money raised? Cheques for everyone! (Well, everyone over 18 years of age.) This so-called "dividend" represents a colossal lost opportunity to do something productive with that revenue. Rather than using much of the carbon fee money to fund green infrastructure and other needed climate actions, the Greens would recycle all that money back, effectively in an equal tax cut for every adult in Canada. It is a cynical approach, mirroring what the BC government did when they implemented their carbon tax. While various CCPA reports have long supported carbon pricing, we have always said that revenue-neutrality is pointless and unwise. And while some revenue does indeed need to flow back to low and modest income people to offset the regressive nature of a carbon tax, as with the UCCB, it is entirely unnecessary to send similar cheques to upper-income people.

So this flagship measure is unlikely to move Canada much closer to the Green's stated and laudable aim to "end fossil fuels by mid-century." That said, the Greens have taken other climate positions that are much less equivocal that the more modest stances of the NDP and the Liberals. For example, they would halt tar-sands expansion, and would not approve any new bitumen pipelines in any direction (and as noted above, they would not allow thermal coal exports through Canadian ports).
The Greens also plan to end subsidies to fossil fuel industries, a welcome move, although their estimated budget savings of over $1 billion seems high (the CCPA's AFB estimates these subsidies to be less than half that; many of the estimates that get cited on this topic pre-date the federal government phasing out some large subsidies. The NDP also say they would end fossil fuel subsidies, and their estimated savings corresponds to the AFB's.
And while the Greens don't use their carbon tax income to fund climate action, their plan nonetheless does contain important investments (totaling about $10 billion a year; quite a lot more than the other parties) in green infrastructure, sustainable jobs and skills training, and new technologies. These are funded by their proposed increase in the corporate tax rate; going after tax havens and some tax credits; taxing toxins and waste; and closing various other loopholes.
While expressing concern about inequality and the current government's tax cuts for the wealthy, overall, what impact would the Green plan have on the fairness (or lack thereof) of Canada's tax regime?
They don't propose an upper income tax increase, as the Liberals rightly do. So they aren't proposing anything to tackle run-away inequality at the high end – the 1%.
But, on the other side of the income spectrum, the Greens are proposing to eliminate income taxes for everyone making under $20K (and would wisely target this, so that wealthier people would not benefit from an across-the-board increase in the basic personal exemption).
They appear to be the only party proposing a modest inheritance tax (as the AFB has done, although the Green party's proposal is structured somewhat differently).
Overall, though, the Green's plan to tackle poverty and inequality talks a good game, but underwhelms in the delivery. (For those wanting to see what a truly ambitious and comprehensive plan to tackle inequality would look like, check out the CCPA's new inequality platform here.
This post doesn't cover many of the other policy areas addressed in the Green platform. I was pleased to see the Greens strongly reject many of the worst trade and investment agreements before us – the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the Canada-EU CETA, and the foreign investment agreement with China (they are much less equivocal on these than other parties). And they have worthy ideas for democratic reform.
People should give all the platforms a careful read as they are released. The CCPA will be doing further platform analysis of how the other parties fare with respect to various topics in the days to come, including a comparison of how all the parties' positions compare to the AFB.

Baby Jupiter was smacked by a planet 4.5 billion years ago
Mike Wehner @MikeWehner
Jupiter has long been hailed as the mighty "king of planets" thanks to its massive size compared to most of the other planets in our solar system. It's huge, and it's mostly made of gas, making it difficult for scientists to know what lies deep beneath its thick cloud cover.
NASA's Juno spacecraft has been studying the planet in detail for over eight years now, and it's returned some surprising observations about the planet's core. Now, a new study from an international team of researchers may offer an explanation.
Scans from NASA's Juno spacecraft have hinted that Jupiter's core isn't exactly what scientists once thought it was. The core isn't as dense as researchers suspected, but determining why that is has proven to be a challenge.
"This is puzzling," Andrea Isella, co-author of a new study published in Nature, said in a statement. "It suggests that something happened that stirred up the core, and that's where the giant impact comes into play."
To get to the bottom of the mystery, the team ran computer simulations of early Jupiter to see what kind of interactions may have led to the planet's present state. What they found was that a massive impact, while the planet was still forming, is likely the best explanation.
"Because it's dense, and it comes in with a lot of energy, the impactor would be like a bullet that goes through the atmosphere and hits the core head-on," Isella explains. "Before impact, you have a very dense core, surrounded by atmosphere. The head-on impact spreads things out, diluting the core."
The planet that may have struck Jupiter would have to have been huge, according to the simulations. The researchers estimate that it would have been roughly 10 times as massive as Earth, and it would have messed things up so dramatically that it would take billions of years to settle back down, explaining why the core of Jupiter isn't nearly as dense and compact as scientists think it should be.

Neutron star 'glitch' offers scientists a clue into its inner workings
By Andy Meek 2 days ago


Taking the age old family that squabbles at Christmas to new levels, Await Further Instructions is a cross between invasion horror and science fiction.
When estranged Nick returns to his family home for the festive season he finds that nothing has really changed in one respect.
His grandad (David Bradley dependable as always) is still a racist, his father is still an arse, his sister still isn't very bright and his mother is away with the fairies.
When they awake on Christmas morning to find they have been caged into their house and start getting commands from the living room TV set, well things take a distinctively dark turn.
Await is very clever using topical social commentary on racism, terrorism, the establishment and modern day family dynamic to keep you intrigued as some start to unravel.
There are shocking moments and it's quite nice to see a family that clouds itself in mystery yet remains captivating until its final reel.
It's not a Christmas horror but more a filmed just set around then, as what better time to get a group together who in most cases don't like each other.
Await Further Instructions is an interesting hybrid and is certainly one of the most original horror films of the year.
Await Further Instructions is released on DVD on 28th January 2019.
