TERMINAL FRONTIERS: A Touring Exhibition 2002 – 2005
manchester - cardiff - glasgow - derby - london - plymouth
Terminal Frontiers : tour schedule and updates
virtual migrants are touring the exhibition, Terminal Frontiers, to enable audiences to explore and aesthetically engage in dialogues with the subject of asylum and globalisation in the UK, away from media didacticism. Aesthetic development represents a shift forward from the politicised speaking-out dialogues of many emerging movements in the 80s, and responds to far more sophisticated arguments and imperialist relationships as have developed around the turn of this new millennium. The exhibition shows new artworks incorporating digital, interactive and video art forms by Keith Piper, Kuljit 'Kooj' Chuhan and Aidan Jolly, together with a diverse range of artists and collaborators, such as Tang Lin, Hafiza Mohamed, Miselo Kunda-Anaku and Jilah Bakshayesh.
Terminal Frontiers launched at Castlefield gallery, Manchester 12 September - 13 October 2002.
Subsequently it was shown at:
The ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts) New Media Lounge, London 4 - 26 October 2002. Exhibited scaled down for screen-based priority.
The British Council's "A Sense Of Place" international conference, Cardiff 24th - 27th November 2003 http://www.asenseofplace.org.uk/index.php .
Terminal Frontiers has continued to develop opportunities for original and innovative works and virtual migrants is pleased to announce new interactive artwork by Keith Piper entitled '(delete where appropriate): Local/Stranger'. This work is a new development to the exhibition and will premiere at the forthcoming dates of the tour, as part of an ongoing series that originated from the piece 'Stranger'.
continuing to tour in full scale to:
Street Level Photoworks, Glasgow 24 August - 2 October 2004
Q Gallery, Derby 9 October – 20 November 2004
Watermans, London (Brentford) 20 January – 6 March 2005
Plymouth Arts Centre 12 March – 23 April 2005
Full location and contact details - see further below. A series of events, performances, and educational activities will accompany the tour – please consult with the relevant venue for further information.
"evocative, metaphorical and at times quite poetic" - Robert Clark, The Guardian
"this memorable and passionate show in which art practice, education and politics are inseparable" - Nicky Bird, Art Monthly
"digital art works return humanilty to where you'd not even realised it had been lost" Ruth Hedges, The List
"brilliantly executed...downright compelling...art with the potential to engage us on deeper levels" - Tim Birch, City Life
tour news, collaborative productions and updates:
Alongside the continuing range of reviews within the arts press (Art Monthly, The Guardian Guide, Artists Newsletter, and Mute among others) there has been coverage of the educational collaborations in papers such as Sec Ed, TES and online at The Guardian, IRR's website amongst others, particularly looking at the debates and meanings of the work when in direct interaction with tough cross-sections of school kids. The regressively poor and eurocentric review in MUTE lends us an unexpected opportunity to deconstruct such liberal readings of the work (even when presented in this radical guise), and we aim to publish such an article in the near future. Having been profiled and reviewed in ,
Further collaborative works have been produced since Glasgow where various additional works were shown at the Document 2 International Festival. VM artists Kooj and Aidan worked at Glasgow's Red Road flats with various refugee people and also other locals, and one of the outcomes was a video documentary entitled "Surviving In Shawbridge" about the daily racist violence received by a teenage music group called "4-D", comprising Iranian, Zimbabwean, Armenian and Sri Lankan members. Completed in just four days, this was shown at the Glasgow UGC as part of Document 2 on the day it was completed. After completing this, a further video production "No Dogs" and some killer music tracks and textural audio interviews have now been completed from the same Glasgow leg of the journey.
In Derby, a video collaboration with local artists seeking asylum "The Road Home" has been produced, along with an interactive multimedia exploration of a future border-segmented Derby entitled "Sector 17" which was created at Duffield Road PRU assisted by local artist Sophie Powell. All of these will be included on the next bumper edition of the artists' DVD for the tour (see below), ONLY available at the gallery during the exhibition. A further collaboration took place between Aidan and Jilah with local avant-garde jazz vibraphone player Corey Mwamba on the opening preview night, when normally Aidan and Jilah play live music as accompaniment to the "What If I'm Not Real" installation. In addition, funded by Decibel for Q Arts, emerging artist Julius Ayodeji was commissioned to create a work in response to Terminal Frontiers and hence his piece "The Times Grow Worthy Of Our Voice" was exhibited alongside the Terminal Frontiers exhibition. virtual migrants also played a key role in looking at political expression by refugee artists at Derby's Long Journey Home event on 20th Nov intended to develop future possibilities and directions for this complex creative sector.
At Watermans there was an additional set of photographs by Miselo Kunda on show, based on the "What If I'm Not Real" installation and especially created for Terminal Frontiers, and this has continued at Plymouth Arts Centre. Kooj and Aidan conducted a series of production-based workshops with female students from West Thames College resulting in the creation of the poetic short film "I Think I Know You", involving snatches of Somali, Kurdish and Seychelles Creole within an extraordinary riverscape view of West London in which three women in search of missing photo fragments find some resolution though a chance befriending with each other.
In Plymouth there will be a shorter but more intensive period of production involving local refugee artists along with other and local people including from migrant and non-migrant backgrounds. These add to the considerable number of works produced already during the tour which have now formed a discrete project in its own right and which collectively draw out a range of real experiences and expressions of people hidden from even the fringes of the mainstream. Most of these are summarised at www.virtualmigrants.com/tfnew.htm and many will be included on the next edition of the artists' DVD for the tour (see below), ONLY available at the gallery during the exhibition.

How California Regulates E-Commerce
California is one of the most actively regulated states for online businesses. If you are selling products or services over the internet to customers in the Golden State, there are several laws and regulations to be aware of. In this article, the San Diego business attorneys at Gehres Law Group, P.C. outline longstanding and newly enacted e-commerce laws in California.
As e-commerce was emerging in the late 1990s, the California legislature took steps in 1996 to help protectits consumers from online fraud. Lawmakers amended Section 17538 of the California Business and Professions Code to require internet businesses to disclose to buyers, on screen or in writing:
Business legal name
Business address and contact information
These disclosures seem standard today, but the bill was ahead of the curve and helped establish baseline transparency in online transactions.
You may have recently heard of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which went into effect on May 25, 2018. If not, it's the reason you received many emails from companies asking you to consent to their updated Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Described by the EU as "the most important change in data privacy regulation in 20 years," GDPR centers on how companies capture, store and access consumer data online, granting greater protection and control to the consumer.
Long before GDPR, with the United States federal government under-delivering on U.S. data privacy regulations, California became one of the first states to pass its own data privacy law. The California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) was enacted in 1994. CalOPPA requires companies operating commercial websites to include a link to a Privacy Policy on their website. The Privacy Policy must address:
The type of personal information collected
How users can request changes to data collected
How the operator will handle a "Do Not Track" request
Whether the data collected is accessible to any third parties
Effective date of the Privacy Policy
How users will be notified of changes to the Privacy Policy
Again, California's emphasis on e-commerce regulation was pioneering for its time – especially considering its many similarities to the GDPR of 2018.
Internet Sales Tax
Federal law states that businesses must collect sales tax for internet transactions involving the sale of most goods to customers where the business has a physical presence. California, however, requires larger e-commerce sellers to collect sales tax in California even if they do not have a presence in California. This regulation comes from the "Amazon Law," named after the online giant and enacted in 2012.
Under the Amazon Law, an out-of-state retailer must collect sales tax from California customers if:
The retailer has an agreement with a person or persons located in California to pay for customer referrals obtained via a link on the California seller's website (a click-through arrangement)
The retailer's total cumulative sales to purchasers in California exceed $10,000 during the preceding 12 months, and
The retailer also has total cumulative sales to purchasers in California exceeding $1 million.
True to its trailblazing form, California was one of the first states to collect what is today known as an "Amazon tax." In 2011, Amazon collected sales tax from five states; In 2017, the company began collecting sales tax nationwide. Items exempt from e-commerce sales tax in California include certain food products, e-books, software, applications and items for resale.
Physical Presence
The "physical presence" that determines whether an online retailer must collect sales tax can be somewhat confusing. Physical presence usually means an office, store, warehouse or employee. But remember, the Amazon Law in California overrides federal law, requiring large online retailers to collect sales tax regardless of whether they have a physical presence in the state.
Auto-Renewals
Starting on July 1, 2018, California's updated Auto-Renewal Law (ARL) will require online sellers to make their terms even clearer in transactions that involve an auto-renewal. In addition to obtaining consent for pricing that will later increase (such as a free gift or promotional offer followed by a subscription), sellers will have to allow buyers to cancel memberships or subscriptions online. Previously, they were able to require customers to cancel by mail or phone, which became the source of many consumer complaints. California laws concerning auto-renewals also include other requirements that online retailers should be aware of before implementing this type of program.
Ensuring Compliance
Because of California's many unique regulations, potentially steep penalties for non-compliance and the likelihood of new laws in the coming years, it is recommended that any business selling products or services to California customers online consult an experienced California business attorney. Gehres Law Group keeps a thumb on the pulse of California e-commerce law as part of its complete business law services, which include business formation, contract law, trademarks, copyrights, litigation and more.

A Film by The IB Global Centre of Hague, Netherlands
A special film highlighting Semillas Community Schools produced by the IB's Global Centre in the Hague, Switzerland, has been released for use in teacher professional development throughout the world. An IB commissioned film crew spent a day filming our schools in December, 2011, to document and produce a short video that highlighted our international curriculum, indigenous education and multilingual programs. The IB Global Centre in The Hague, Netherlands, contacted Marcos Aguilar requesting collaboration from Semillas on this important project. The IB Global Centre supports multilingualism and intercultural understanding across all programmes in the IB Continuum. Semillas was chosen as the only Los Angeles area IB World School to be featured in a professionally-produced short film that introduces the IB's soon-to-be-published statement on education in global contexts. The film crew focused on three classrooms depicting our educational continuum in PYP and MYP. Multilingual education and indigenous education in the global context were the focus of all of the filming and interviews.  Many thanks to our staff, students and all our parents who supported this valuable project. Thanks also to Rocco Shields of Wingspan Pictures for such an outstanding job of capturing the Semillas spirit on film. The film will be available for viewing for a limited time only for our network of supporters.

A successful online business is easy to execute but difficult to formulate. Why is it that some companies do really well while other companies working on a similar business model are unable to achieve that success. Manish Bhalla, CEO of FATbit Technologies, sheds some light on what remains amiss and makes a difference to an ecommerce venture.
According to him, there is no holy grail to boost an online business. You have to test everything and assume nothing because you never know which strategy will work the best for you and there is always some room for improvement. However, there are some areas that can do wonders if you stop thinking methodically. Follow the creative ways to look at your online business differently and act in your own way to increase sales. Let us take a closer look at few of them.
Analyze your homepage with the perspective of first time visitors. For all entrepreneurs looking to boost their online business, this is the penultimate task to keep in mind. There is a saying that first impressions are highly critical, and it's true, especially for online businesses. Studies have shown that first-time users generally leave a website in the first eight seconds if they are not impressed. So what can you do to ensure that they stay?
Do you get an idea of what the website is all about?
How is the navigation of website and what seems to be missing in it?
By quickly analyzing these questions, you would get a first time customer's view of your online business. It would not only help offer the best user experience but bring down the bounce rate most speedily.
If you ever talk to a successful entrepreneur, they would always advise you to re-evaluate your goals irrespective of the fact that your business is doing good or bad. In the online sphere, technology is continuously evolving and so are the consumer trends. Businesses, which do not evolve over time, tend to become redundant and phase out. There are numerous examples like Nokia and MySpace, which once were at their epitome but gradually slipped away. The best practice is to regularly note down the goals of the online business so that you are not stuck in the routine of just doing things. By keeping your goals in accordance with the current trends, the innovation metrics are kept high allowing you to boost your business.
Business has many similarities to sports. The biggest parallel is that you would always have a competitor. It is a general saying that any form of competition is good for business as it pushes you to be your best. If you end up ignoring your competition then they can easily sneak up and capture your market share. Another reason why it is vital to keep a tab on your competitors is that if something is working for them; then it might work for you too. In the online sphere, businesses often take ideas from their competitors and incorporate the same into their own business model.
With ever-changing technology; product, and service, which work perfectly on their own, might not be able to do the same in conjunction with each other. This is because as the systems get complicated, it becomes a hassle to incorporate modern practices into legacy processes. This is where automation of business processes can help you boost your online business. In a layman's term, business process automation uses less technology to get the same job done. This, in turn, makes the overall operations less complicated and more efficient. Moreover, automation allows your employees to focus more on productive tasks that require critical thinking rather than spending time on ensuring that the system works properly.
With increasing competition in the online sphere, businesses are incorporating several innovative marketing ideas to capture user's attention. However, it is not enough in the current market dynamics to stay relevant. Several studies suggest that the average person living in the metropolitan is exposed to more than 3500 marketing messages on a daily basis. That amounts to one marketing message every 30 seconds. What is more astonishing is that 99% of them have no impact on the consumer. Marketing studies have also shown that it requires more than nine impressions for a business to be remembered by a potential customer. This makes constant follow-up an essential task for any business to capture user's interest.
For every online business model, efficiency has become the mantra for success. As the competition increases and more and more players enter a particular sector, only those who can streamline their business processes and incorporate the above-mentioned best practices would be able to see the light of the day. You must constantly monitor what is working for you and what is not. This would help you improve your online business and prove to be the deciding factor in your success.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Company, Computer Warehouse Group has opened of its office in Uganda as part of the agenda to expand its network across Africa.
Head, Corporate Marketing at CWG, Mr. Chidi Okpala, made this disclosure in Lagos at the weekend.
He said that the latest entry into East African market marks another remarkable milestone in the history of Computer Warehouse Group.
"One would immediately recall that the group commenced operations in Nigeria in 1992 as a small company selling Dell computers to businesses. This earned the company the rare position of being the first partners to the Dell Corporation in Nigeria," he said.
According to him, CWG grew from being a computer hardware sales company to be one of the leading systems integration companies, providing hardware and infrastructure solutions under the platform of its subsidiary, the Computer Warehouse Limited (CWL).
In addition, he noted that CWG has a communications and networking solutions entity called DCC Networks as well as software applications and deployment under the ExpertEdge Software across West Africa.
"As the needs of its growing customers grew across the West Africa region, it has imperative that CWG establish another presence in West Africa," he said, just as CWG Ghana was born in 2003.
Computer Warehouse Group, he said, has faced its own challenges along the line but has matched all the challenges with constantly re-innovating itself and churning out modern business solutions through best partnerships with global ICT firms across the world.
Reacting to the entrance into Uganda, the group chief executive officer, CWG, Mr. Austin Okere said Computer Warehouse Group is fast becoming a Pan African ICT company and with the addition of CWG Uganda to its fold, a new history to the company's development seems to have been written.
"CWG has become a company with relevance in a many fields of ICT" he declared, stressing that these innovations and strengths of CWG is what would be replicated in Uganda and across East Africa.
CWG Uganda, he hinted, would service corporate businesses, government and other private and public enterprises that would require taking their businesses and establishments to the next level.
"The company would be run by highly tested and skilled professionals from Uganda, some countries in East Africa and across the African continent," he said.
Okere pointed out that there are also plans to train and develop professionals with interest in ICT in Uganda.
"CWG Uganda has currently as it's first Country Manager, Mr. Michael Manzi, a Ugandan who is a renowned business and strategy professional, who has spent over ten years in the communications and technology industry," he said.
Further, he said Manzi would be leading the team and driving the brand for Computer Warehouse Group within the region.
He emphasised that CWG believes in the ethics around corporate governance which has earned the company an array of national, African and international awards overtime.
Austin Okere, the Group's founder is famous at saying, 'Our best is yet to come'. Though, a landmark achievement for CWG, the company is committed to furthering its strength across other cities in Africa providing enterprise solutions and enabling more businesses through technology.

What Time is It in the Universe?
Well, check your watch, what time is it? But before confirming the exact time just imagine this, you've in fact been moving and rushing through the space time fabric, and as we all know that according to Einstein, everything's relative. So how can you actually tell what time is it really?

The best solution you would prefer is to change Wi-Fi channel of your router and fix the problem. But how do you do it? To change the settings of your router's channel is not like changing the channels on TV. However, the process is the same. You have to choose a channel and transfer data over that channel using Wi-Fi. The routers that are set up the first time are set to Auto. Certainly... inSSIDer comes in two versions: inSSIDer 4 (Windows & Mac OS X), a home-use WiFi scanner, and inSSIDer Office (Windows & in Beta for OS X), which adds extra troubleshooting power like RF spectrum analysis, expert analysis, export to Chanalyzer, and network drilldown, to name a few.

Adjacent channel congestion is the worst type of WiFi interference. To illustrate, think about being at a concert – there's a band playing really loud, and tons of people, each with their own group of friends. bissell deep clean pet how to use If you know what channel other routers in your area are using, set yours apart from theirs by at least three channels apart. In order to find out the channel numbers of other routers in the vicinity, you can use a utility that will scan the wireless network and list it out to you. You can use inSSIDer for Windows on a laptop or WiFi Analyzer on an Android device.
Which WiFi channel to choose? Other tips for signal quality?
So, what is the "best" channel? In the following image, I'm using a software called inSSIDer (developed by MetaGeek.net) to survey the wireless broadcasts in the area. As you can see, the 2.4GHz frequency offers 11 channels to choose from, most of which are already in use by several neighbors nearby.


Selecting a topic for science fair project is always a challenge. Is it practical? Is it affordable? Can you find necessary material and equipment? Is it acceptable? Here you can find varieties of science project ideas, instructions, and information. You will also find some science kits that you may use as your science project. Kits will save you time and money.
In this project you will experiment making electricity using a revolutionary method. You may call this air battery because it uses the oxygen from the air. You may also call it salt water battery because it uses a solution of salt water as electrolyte.
The electricity you produce can be high enough to light up a light bulb. You can extend the power by adding oxygen.
In this project you will experiment making electricity by spinning a magnet inside a wire coil. This is the principle of electric generators. Make all parts using wood; only the magnet and wire will be non-wooden material.
The electricity you produce can be high enough to light up a light bulb; however, it will just flicker if you spin the magnet by hand.
Even fruits can make electricity and if you be lucky, you may even get enough electricity to light up a light bulb. The electricity produced by fruits can easily be measured using a multi-meter. In this project you compare different fruits for the amount of electricity they can produce. Find out if sour taste and acidity of fruits can contribute to the production of electricity.
This project is a safe version of other battery projects that use corrosive chemicals.
The electricity from fruits is important because it also indicates the concentration of minerals available in fruits. You can also use this method to compare the quality of different potatoes or different oranges. This is an experimental (investigatory) project.
DNA is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions specifying the biological development of all cellular forms of life. By changing parts of DNA, scientists are able to produce plants, animals and other live organisms with new properties and abilities. Genetically modified crops and genetically modified fruits are widely known and used.
For students who like biology and want to understand the structure of DNA, making a DNA model can be an exiting display project with special learning benefits.
The effect of sunlight on production of starch on plants.
In a basic starch test project you test different foods, fruits or products for presence of starch. Find out how widely the starch is used in different industries. You may expand the starch test topic to many new project ideas. For example you may research the effect of sunlight in production of starch or the effect of enzymes on starch.Determination of starch in foods is important due to dietary concerns of many people who are on a low starch/ low sugar diet. This is an experimental (investigatory) project.
Combine the joy and excitement of mechanical toys with your science project by constructing an air propelled motor boat. This is also a good way of learning about simple electric circuits. Your boat will have a battery, a switch and a motor with propeller. This can be used as a science project related to electricity, force or floatation. This idea is good for a display project, an engineering project and an experimental (investigatory) project.
Finally you can make a vehicle that can drive both on land and in water. To do that simply attach the wheels to the sides of the boat.
With your kit you may also receive four sheaves that may be used as wheels. Sheaves are almost like the ring in a bicycle; they are just missing the tiers. Students often use sheaves to make pulleys as a part of a simple machine project.
An electromagnet is by far the most important electrical structure that exists in almost all electronic devices. Most of today's Radios, televisions, door bells, telephones, telegraphs and computers could not exist without electromagnets.
In an electromagnet project, you may make some of the simple devices that use electromagnet; however the most important electromagnet projects study the strength of electromagnet. There is an electromagnet kit available at MiniScience.com; however, many students may just purchase the magnet wire (27 AWG) and find other material (nail, battery,..) at home.
MiniScience's Solar Racer activity introduces students to alternative energy concepts while incorporating problem solving, design and modeling. In addition, students will experience using hand tools as they construct their solar vehicle.
he federal government has encouraged alternative forms of transportation due to a limited supply of oil and increasing environmental pollution. Solar cars are just one of many transportation concepts emerging. Solar cars use solar cell panels instead of gasoline as the fuel. As a result, exhaust fumes and oil consumption are eliminated.
The solar cell panel generates an electrical charge that is stored in a battery and used to provide energy as the vehicle is driven. The lighter the vehicle, the less energy used and the farther the vehicle will travel. In cloudy days, or at night, energy can be drawn from reserve batteries. In the future, charge stations will be located on the road sides for quick battery charging.
This page provides some pictures and ideas on how a pulley motor car may be constructed. It is not meant to serve as a step-by-step recipe or assembly instructions. You may use these ideas to complete your own design and construct your own model of pulley motor car. Some pictures may show parts that are different in shape, size or color from what you may have in your kit.
Pulley motor car is an electric car using pulleys to transfer the mechanical energy from the motor to the wheels. MiniScience's Pulley Car activity introduces students to compound machines and simple machines including pulley, wheel and axle while incorporating problem solving, mechanical design and modeling. In addition, students will experience using hand tools as they construct their Pulley Motor Car.

Launchpad provides a wonderful translation service called Rosetta that allows multi-lingual users to translate your application to other languages. If you are a translator and want to help translate my project (only 75 strings with a fair bunch of them being quite short), skip to https://translations.launchpad.net/wxbanker to help me out! I will include you permanently in the credits and you will have helped me greatly!
Now, for developers or anyone else interested, I'm going to explain the basic process to go from an English-only application in Launchpad to something that can be easily translated by anyone. This will internationalize your project, and in a later post I'll explain how to localize it; that is, once you have translations, how to integrate these into your project so users in other locales see the translated strings instead of English. My project is wxBanker (wxbanker.org), so I'll be using that for reference.
First, you'll want to make all your user-visible strings translatable in your code. I used gettext (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettext), and it is quite easy in Python. Basically, you wrap all strings you want to be translated in a gettext call, which is typically assigned to the underscore character to be easy to type and read. So "Hello, world!" will become _("Hello, world!"). When your application is run, this call will then translate that string into the appropriate languange (once you have everything set up, which will be Part 2 of this post).
Sometimes you may want to restructure or break up larger strings into smaller ones. If you have two strings "Sentence A. Sentence B." and "Sentence A. Sentence C", you may want to gettext those as _("Sentence A.")+_("Sentence B.") and _("Sentence A.")+_("Sentence C."), so that Sentence A only needs to be translated once. However, make sure to give enough context for translators. Basically, apply principles of resuable software design to your strings.
Now you should be able to run your application and everything should work normally in English; we haven't broken anything! To simplify this set up, however, I like to put those above four lines in a separate file such as localization.py, and import that in any file which wraps strings using gettext, so I don't have to duplicate those each time.
Now you need to generate a translation template. This is fairly straightforward; simply run xgettext at the command line on all the files you used gettext in. For example: "xgettext file1.py file2.py file3.py". This will generate a file called messages.po, which is your template. Rename this to messages.pot (the scheme Launchpad prefers) and we can proceed!
Now we'll set up Launchpad. Edit your projects details (in my case: https://launchpad.net/wxbanker/+edit) and check the box that says "Translations for this project are done in Launchpad", scroll to the bottom, and click "Change".
Click the Translations tab of your project in Launchpad and upload the .pot file you generated in step #3. If this is your first time doing so, it will need to be reviewed by a human, and will take perhaps a day to get approved, at which point you will receive an email letting you know it has been and you are good to go.
Your project can now be translated! Visit your Translations page again (such as https://translations.launchpad.net/wxbanker) to see the status. You won't see anything exciting if there aren't any translations yet and you aren't configured for more than English (click Select Languages in the lower right to change this), but otherwise you will see an option to translate the project for each language other than English that you know, and the status of the translation.
If you have been meaning to internationalize your project, give it a shot now! Also, please let me know if I have missed or botched any steps. We'll go through putting the (hopefully) resulting translations into your project in my next post!
How should I handle glade files?
Thanks so much diegoj, your translation is really great! The goal of the next release of wxBanker (0.4) is localization, both strings and currencies. So users in other locales should see strings (assuming I receive translations for them) and currencies in the expected way.
In case the locale currency isn't desired there will be a way to select the desired currency from a pre-populated list of popular ones, which will then affect all accounts. I probably won't implement per-account currencies until a future version, although I can figure out a clean and intuitive way to implement managing this in the UI I may.
I have translated wxBanker to Spanish. I hope translation is enough Spanihs-neutral.
One question, has wxBanker any way to change transactions currency? As I'm from Spain I don't use US$, I use €. The same occurs to other europeans, and the british people.
Meh, is Rosetta still stupid about not sending translations upstream *FIRST*?
Thanks a lot! I had -no- idea how to make translation templates, and only vaguely had an idea about the rest. I'm planning on making an app I'm working on translatable with LP. However, it's written in C. :) Are there any extra steps I need to take? Obviously the code in step 2 will be changed, but I don't know to what. Thanks.

Engaging with the Christmas Spirit on 12/15/12, just one day after the massacre in Connecticut, in which 26 were killed – the least of which were 20 children for whom the holiday is truly intended – was haunting. The Parents. Knight Kiplinger, who introduced the show, eloquently captured and addressed the pangs of cognizance we all felt. "Music has magical powers," he said, "the ability to dispel darkness." And "the joining of voices together can heal." It brought the entire room's collective consciousness together and gave to devoting all of our voices in heart felt song to the families. I believe it was the truest gift we could ever offer. I was grateful and honored to be involved.
The Washington Chorus' performance of A Candlelight Christmas at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts was as heart-warming as decorating the Christmas Tree. The performance began with members of the choir walking down the aisles, candle in hand, singing "Once in Royal David's City" to unify on stage. As each member walked by, I was privy to momentarily hearing a solo voice. It was as exciting as the rediscovery of each ornaments before they're assembled on the tree. And what a glorious semblance they gave. The National Capital Brass and Percussion – you could say – was the tree, the foundation these angelic voices adorned. The harp being, of course, the angel on top. And the brand new Pipe Organ was as nourishing and satisfying as the water used to sustain the tree.
The choir sang an exquisite medley of songs. My very favorite being "Frohlocket Ihr Volker Auf Erden," sung a cappella. It was transcending. But in truth, they all were. "Good King Wenceslas" had a lively intro that conjured images of prancing through the snow. "Good King Wenceslas" soared, their voices literally lifting you with each crescendo. And "Still, Still, Still" was as sweet and soothing as a lullaby.
Midway through the first half, The Madrigal Singers from Marriotts Ridge High School chimed in and filled the room with a spirited bliss that resounded like little bells jingle jangling with fun. Their layers were simply divine. And when their set was over, they joined The Washington Chorus to finish the show and so, too, were the finishing touch on our magical musical Christmas Tree. As audience members, we were invited to join in on many songs.
I believe that to be musical, or artistic in any way, is to allow yourself to be employed as one of God's instrument. Experiencing the music, the room coming together in harmony was ineffable grace. The quintessential essence of Christmas: Peace, Love, and Joy. The joining of our goodwill and directing that Spirit towards the families in Connecticut is nothing short of a prayer. Amen.
A Candlelight Christmas continues performances on Thursday, December 20th at 7:30 PM and Friday, December 21st at 7:30 PM, at The Music Center at Strathmore – 5301 Tuckerman Lane, in North Bethesda, MD. Other performances are on Saturday, December 22nd at 1 PM and 4 PM, at The Kennedy Center's Concert Hall – 2700 F Street, NW, in Washington, DC. For tickets, purchase them online.
The individual who gave the moving remarks at the concert was Knight Kiplinger, whose family has been a Washington institution for generations. They publish the Kiplinger newsletters and magazines.

Some 25,000 jobs could be created in Ireland's social enterprise sector. That's according to a new report by Forfás that has resulted in Innovation Minister Sean Sherlock, TD, being tasked by the Taoiseach to lead efforts to exploit the opportunity.
The Forfás report Social Enterprise in Ireland – Sectoral Opportunities and Policy Issues claims the sector has the capacity to double employment with the creation of an additional 25,000 jobs by 2020.
Social enterprises are business models set up to tackle social, economic or environmental issues. Some social enterprises engage in trading or commercial activities to pursue their objectives and any surplus earned is re-invested in the social objective.
The sector employs more than 25,000 people in more than 1,400 social enterprises in Ireland, with a combined total income of around €1.4bn. The Forfás report has found that there is potential to double employment in the sector over the period to 2020.
A key finding of the Forfás report is that a coherent national policy across Government is necessary if the sector is to achieve its potential.
"The social enterprise sector has played a key role in Irish society and in the economy for many years," said Sherlock.
"Social enterprises offer jobs across a range of skill sets, and provide services and employment in many local and rural communities. That is why as part of the Action Plan for Jobs we have committed to supporting the development of a vibrant social enterprise sector.
"It has huge potential for employment growth," he added.

50 Most Important Moments
The 50 Most Important Moments in Football History: Part Three
Football is more than just a game. Over the last 150 years it has become a source of identity, conflict and debate for all who follow and play it. It has reached the furthest corners of the globe and boasts more players and supporters than any other sport. In this list we will be going right the way through the illustrious, colourful and often tragic history of football and finding out once and for all what the most important moments are in this truly beautiful game.
11. The Dick, Kerr's Ladies (1917-21)
The First World War was a conflict like no other. Throughout history there had been numerous conflicts between nations, but never to the scale of this. Being a total war it required each and everyone to take a role in someway. For women, the front-line wasn't an option - rather most were required to help fill the void left by men in munitions factories across the nation. Munitions were key to the war effort as wave after wave of shells were fired across No-Man's Land and towards the enemy. In an era where women's calls for suffrage had been repeatedly cast to one side - it was a selfless act by many.
As War progressed, the number of the fallen continued to rise - even as high as 60,000 on the first day of the Somme offensive in 1916. Unsurprisingly, domestic morale was low - leading to a group of ladies doing something remarkable. Founded in the Dick, Kerr Munitions Factory in Preston -
kickarounds in the work yard had highlighted the skill of some women in playing a game they had previously been discouraged to play.
Under the management of Alfred Frankland - the team began to attract large crowds at stadiums unused due to the war. This included a staggering 60,000 at Goodison Park in 1920. Playing against other female teams from rival factories it gave women a chance to show off their skill for the first time and be appreciated in doing so. The team was so popular that once the Football League had returned, the Dick, Kerr's Ladies were still drawing larger attendances much to the FA's dismay. In 1921 - the association passed a draconian act to ban women from playing at FA grounds.
This didn't fully stop the women's teams however, as friendlies still took place and internationals were arranged. Striker Lily Parr was the superstar of the team - scoring over 900 goals. Although never reaching the heights of wartime, the club and movement is surely one of the game's most important. It gave women a platform and a voice in a time where both had seem so alien to many. In 1918 - women finally achieved the vote and it seems that football played a big part in making this possible.
12. The White Horse Final (1923)
Football had been taken to the hearts of minds of the public like no other sport. In its first 60 years, it had grown rapidly in the most popular game around the world. By 1923 - the FA Cup had become the sport's leading competition with hundreds of professional and amateur teams entering. The popularity of the competition had led to the final that year being played, for the first time, at Wembley Stadium.
The tie saw Bolton Wanderers face off against London side West Ham United. Under the eyes of King George V - a reported 300,000 fans filled into the stadium and eventually began to spill onto the pitch. Attempting to restore order, the police began to shepherd the fans back to the terraces. Although one of many mounted police helping to get the game underway, the image of a white horse in between thousands of fans has become defined the match. The good behaviour of the crowd on the day was perhaps to thank for their being no fatalities, but 1000 people did suffer some injuries.
The importance of this moment is in itself - the sheer amount of spectators shows us the popularity of football and its influence on the masses. Like nothing else in society, the beautiful game offered identity and allegiance. It is a notion which is still seen today as thousands pour into stadia around the world. On the other hand, the attendance and the inability of organizers to let only ticket holders in, prompted parliamentary debate on the issue. Matthew Taylor writes that although discussed - little was actually done. For Taylor, the game was not deemed worthy enough for government regulation unlike other cultural pastimes, the music hall and theatre. It is a negligence which we will not see the last of in this series.
13. The First FIFA World Cup (1930)
In the modern game there is an event every four years which gets each and every football fan excited...The FIFA World Cup. In 1930, the tournament was born - being played in Uruguay and seeing 13 nations competing. Perhaps what is most perplexing when looking into the first countries to participate is the lack of the home nations. It is no secret that England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland were the first international sides - so why weren't they in Uruguay?
Following its success in covering the United Kingdom - football's next biggest players were in South America. The game had reached the height of popularity across the Atlantic and by 1916 Comnebol (South American Football's Governing Body) was established. The success of the 1924 and 1928 Olympic football tournaments led to a FIFA meeting to discuss the chance of a world championships. In 1930 - this vision became reality.
Alongside 9 teams from the Americas, four European nations also accepted an invitation to compete. FIFA, by 1930 had grown considerably but faced doubt over its future due to the animosity between nations following the First World War. The home nations had withdrawn from the organisation and although invited to take part, cited the long travel distances and an unwillingness to play against war time enemies as a reason not to travel to Uruguay.
The tournament was a huge success. Uruguay won the inaugural crown after defeating neighbours Argentina 4-2 in the final. 68,000 spectators watched the match which showed football's immense power and influence around the globe. Success meant the tournament would continue every four years - starting in Italy in 1934. To this day, it remains the world's most watched and celebrated spectacle - providing us with some of sport's most memorable moments.
14. The First Televised Football Match (1937)
Today, football and television go hand-in-hand. It is a relationship which causes controversy and debate but in 1937 the first televised match would truly change to game forever. At Arsenal's Highbury Stadium it was of course broadcast by the BBC. Founded in 1926 as a radio service - the advances in motion picture and 'talkies' in Hollywood - meant television was the next step for the public broadcaster.
Football, as we have seen, already had a huge following. Spectator figures continued to rise and fanbases began to stretch wider than just local supporters. The first match to be televised was between Arsenal and Arsenal Reserves. It had been specially arranged for the occasion. Unfortunately for anyone watching - bad light affected the coverage as rain and dark clouds loomed overhead. Despite a lack of newspaper coverage - the match's importance is undoubted. Historian Richard Haynes notes how the experiment helped to enthuse the curiosity of many. The following year saw more coverage of football matches and the rest they say...is history!
For many, this will be one of the most relevant moments in our top 50 list. Today, it is common to see the news dominated by football and television rights. It is possible now to watch football all day if we wanted on a multitude of channels as the commercialisation of the game continues. What needs reminding though is in 1937 the beauty of the game was truly captured and taken to the hearts of those who watched it - let's hope that feeling returns.
15. Superga Air Disaster (1949)
Our final moment in this piece is one of tragedy. Despite being less than 100 years old - the game had seen many beautiful moments but in 1949 - it was see one of its darkest. Italian football had grown into one of the sport's most celebrated forms of the game. Following their two World Cup victories, the nation boasted some of the games finest players. In the 1930s, Giuseppe Meazza had been the star of the show, before a new star featured in the 40s. - Valentino Mazzola.
Mazzola was playing for Northern Italian giants Torino. Due to their superiority in domestic competition they became known as the 'Grande Torino. Winning 5 league championships and a Coppa Italia - they became the dominate team on the continent. What was more impressive was their early success despite the ongoing Second World War. Even when the nation was split following the US led invasion of the south the team continued - with superstars continuing to emerge.
In May 1949, following a friendly match in Lisbon against Portuguese side Benfica, the side and coaching staff set off for Turin by plane. Poor visibility and a malfunction altimeter meant the plane would struggle to see through the weather. Out of nowhere, the Superga Basilica, sat on top of a hill, appeared in front of the pilots who had no time to react. The resulting crash claimed the lives of all 31 people on board. A squad was killed and a footballing superpower was stopped tragically in their prime.
The crash sent shockwaves around the footballing world. The Italian national team would take years to recover and would travel by ship to the 1950 World Cup. One million people attended the funeral for the players as a city mourned its heroes.

Hack of JetBlue Network for Crew Members Went Undetected for 3 Years
JetBlue passengers deserve to know that a cyber attack on JetBlue's computer network went undetected for more than three years. Even though the files allegedly accessed contained crew members' information only, it is still an incident that customers should be aware of.
JetBlue was among more than a dozen corporate victims embroiled in the largest global computer hacking scheme and credit card breach ever prosecuted in the U.S., and details have emerged about the incident.
Federal prosecutors indicted five men yesterday in a global hacking scheme in which more than 160 million credit card numbers were allegedly stolen, resulting "in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses and is the largest such scheme every prosecuted in the United States," the U.S. Attorney's in Newark, New Jersey, announced.
On June 24, 2011, JetBlue informed crew members — but not the general public or customers — that it learned in April of that year that malware had been placed on JetBlue systems with files "containing confidential business information as well as personal information including the names, social security numbers and retirement fund account balances of Crewmembers employed by JetBlue since 2005. We would like to emphasize that, to date, we have no evidence that your personal information was actually obtained or has been misused."
The indictment yesterday puts the incident in the public spotlight and contains new details.
The hack was in place for more than three years, from around January 2008 until February 2011, according to the indictment, which says defendant Aleksandr Kalinin used a server in Odessa to make a file transfer connection to a server in the Bahamas that was used in the hack of JetBlue and also Nasdaq.
JetBlue spokesperson Tamara Young tells Skift today that JetBlue still believes that no crew member personal or financial information was actually obtained or misused.
However, the indictment seems to contradict JetBlue's statement that no such information was obtained.
The indictment states that defendants "obtained information from those computers, Namely Log-In Credentials, Personal Data, and Card Numbers, for the purpose of commercial advantage and private financial gain" from JetBlue in January 2008, and from 7-Eleven, JC Penney, Heartland, Wet Seal, and Dow Jones from 2007 to 2009.
JetBlue informed crew members about the breach more than two months after it learned of the cyber attack, and three and a half years after the breach began.
JetBlue apparently never made an announcement about the computer-network breach to passengers and the general public, who might be concerned about JetBlue's data-security safeguards.
JetBlue did inform several state attorneys general about the network hack, including those in Maryland [see letter below] and New Hampshire, where 134 and 178 JetBlue crew members, respectively, may have been impacted. Some states have laws requiring such disclosures, and JetBlue stated that it notified employees of the breach.
JetBlue informed the state attorney generals of Maryland and New Hampshire in late June 2011 that it launched an internal investigation of the hack when it learned about it, and removed the malware.
In response to questions about the hack, Young of JetBlue stated today:
As this is an ongoing legal matter, we decline to comment on the specifics. What we can tell you is that once we were made aware of the potential breach, we took the following actions:
1 – We took the appropriate IT security actions (The breach occurred in an older information system that has since been dismantled. Part of JetBlue's IT strategy is to replace these older systems in favor of newer, more robust systems.)
2 – We made credit monitoring services available to any crewmember whose information was contained in the affected system.
3 – We fully cooperated with law enforcement on the investigation.
JetBlue purchased for potentially impacted crew members a years' worth of Debix Identity Protection Services, including credit monitoring and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance coverage.
How should JetBlue's customers view the incident?
Crew members were informed about it several months after it occurred and passengers have never been forewarned.
When JetBlue states that its "IT strategy is to replace these older systems in favor of newer, more robust systems," that infers that vulnerabilities still may exist in older systems.
JetBlue wasn't alone in its apparent cyber vulnerabilities. The defendants — two of whom were apprehended while three others are still at large — also allegedly hacked into the networks of Nasdaq, Euronet, Visa, Global Payment Systems, Discover Financial Services, Ingenicard, 7-Eleven, JC Penney, Heartland, Wet Seal, Dow Jones, Carrefour, Hannaford Brothers, Commidea, and Dexia Bank Belgium.

Hundreds from across the UNC-Chapel Hill campus gathered on Oct. 1 to celebrate UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy's Angela Kashuba on her first day as dean of the School.
During the event held at the Carolina Club, Kashuba shared her vision and goals for the School, including supporting the people who make up the School, investing in further service to the state of North Carolina, and building upon impactful innovation.
"As the new dean of the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to build upon the School's success and culture of excellence," said Kashuba, the School's first female dean. "And while we are the No.1-ranked school of pharmacy in the nation, I can assure you that no one is willing to rest. We have significant momentum and we have the unique opportunity to go beyond excellence."
October's celebration event included remarks from both UNC Interim Chancellor Kevin M. Guskiewicz, and Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Robert A. Blouin.
"This School has a storied history that we are so proud of and yet we are even more excited about its future," Guskiewicz said. "Angela, we are so glad you are a part of our leadership team."
Blouin added, "I absolutely feel we are announcing the best person for this job. This is not an ordinary school, and certainly not an ordinary school of pharmacy. It's a special school and it requires a special leader."
Kashuba joined the UNC-Chapel Hill faculty in 1997. She went on to be named the John and Deborah McNeill, Jr. Distinguished Professor in 2013 and was appointed chair of the School's Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics in 2015. She also serves as Director of the UNC Center for AIDS Research Clinical Pharmacology and Analytical Chemistry Core.
After obtaining her Bachelor of Science in pharmacy at the University of Toronto, Kashuba completed a general practice residency at Women's College Hospital and practiced as a critical care pharmacist at Mount Sinai Hospital, in Toronto, Canada. She received her Pharm.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo and completed postdoctoral pharmacology training at the Clinical Pharmacology Research Center at Bassett Healthcare in Cooperstown, New York.
Kashuba said, "Our core guiding principle at the School is 'everything we do begins and ends with a patient in mind.' This serves as our North Star as we prepare future healthcare leaders who will help people live longer, healthier lives. I truly look forward to working with our brilliant students, our outstanding faculty and staff, our dedicated alumni, and our colleagues on and off campus, as we continue our efforts in advancing medicine for life."

According to estimates, one in 100 people worldwide have celiac disease (CD)--also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy, gluten intolerance or celiac sprue. CD, one of perhaps the most underdiagnosed diseases today, is manifested by an autoimmune response that is triggered by the consumption of gluten. This autoimmune response may be further aggravated by stress, medical-induced trauma and viral infections. Those who suffer from CD incur damage to the small intestine when gluten-containing products (i.e., wheat, oats, rye and/or barley) are consumed, whether or not symptoms are present. There is no cure for CD, although health and well-being can be achieved by maintaining a gluten-free diet.
Many individuals afflicted with CD rely on blends containing rice flour, bean flour and sorghum as replacements for gluten-containing grains. These blends often produce inferior products (i.e., gritty, dry or crumbly textures); however, Expandex™, a modified tapioca starch made from tapioca root, emulates many properties associated with wheat-based ingredients such as texture and appearance. In addition, this particular modified tapioca starch can enhance the flavor of baked goods, creates a moist and expanded crumb, has excellent water binding and freeze/thaw properties, has a clean flavor and extends shelflife. For instance, when Expandex is used in a bread dough, its crust is crispy right out of the bread machine, in comparison to other gluten-free products that come out soft and very dry.
In a seven-day shelflife study conducted by Corn Products International, gluten-free bread was evaluated against wheat bread after being held under room temperature, frozen and refrigerated conditions. The bread was then evaluated at room temperature and after microwaving and toasting. "The gluten-free bread had a sweet flavor that was unaffected by storage or reheating, had an enhanced flavor and improved moistness when microwaved, and showed improved crispness and chewiness when toasted," says Eric Shinsato, technical sales support manager for the company.
Product developers have created formulations containing gluten-free modified tapioca starch for bread, pizza crust and cookies and continue their work on other applications, as each one reacts differently under various conditions. In pizza dough, for example, the amount of liquid added is essential to developing a dough that can be rolled out without excessive stickiness. A wide variety of products can be made gluten-free including frozen entrées, chips, pretzels and other snacks, baking mixes and flours, energy bars, cookies, brownies, muffins and other baked goods, shelf-stable pastas, tortillas, breads and crackers.

Go back to school with all your textbooks and necessities with this Hogwarts book wreath! This wreath would be a great addition to any Harry Potter party as it's magically easy to put together and so much fun too.
Run to Diagon Alley, grab your Hogwarts text books, and prepare your wand for another year back to school.
We have been preparing for our annual Back to School party here for the past few weeks and are almost ready to show you the Harry Potter themed dinner party. But first I needed to share with you our front door wreath in all it's textbook glory.
I decided to simplify the book wreath and to make it lighter so I could fit all the textbooks every Hogwarts student needs right on the door for everyone to see.
And I do love how it turned out! What do you think?
And after all the fun, it really was super simple to make.
Since the wreath was going to have so many layers to it, I didn't want a bulky, round wreath. Instead, I took one of the cardboard boxes from our move and a large kitchen bowl. I drew a circle and cut that out and then drew a circle inside that using a smaller kitchen bowl.
I used a roll of large Christmas ribbon I had leftover and wrapped it around the wreath form to hide the cardboard and give the wreath the Gryffindor colors.
I think that deciding what size to make the textbooks was the hardest part of the whole project. I ended up cutting a large sheet of Styrofoam into 2 inch by 3 inch rectangles.
Once I knew what size I wanted my books to be, I went over to Pinterest and searched up some printable Harry Potter textbook covers. There are a lot there, so you can pick and choose which ones you want.
I saved the covers, resized them to fit my pages, and then printed them out. The paper glued pretty easily around the Styrofoam pages to create the Hogwarts textbooks.
Didn't they turn out so cool? I am totally in love! Thanks to all the talented artists who shared the talents in making these book covers.
I really recommend laying out the books on the wreath to make sure they fit nicely and the color placement looks good before glueing them to the wreath form. Once you have it looking good, go ahead and glue the books down.
To make the wreath a little more fun, I created little pennant banners with the words "Hogwarts Bound" in a Harry Potter font. I glued the pennant pieces to some red and gold ribbon in the center of my wreath.
Now my Harry Potter wreath is hanging on my front door making my kids' return to school a little more magical and fun as they can pretend we are off to Hogwarts!

Oh and did I mention the co-ordinating punch?
Choose your first glitter colour (in this case chocolate) and pour liberally over the cardstock, making sure you cover all the adhesive – TIP this is when your powder pal trays will come in very handy! Make sure once you have covered your cardstock, you shake and tap off all excess glitter, undo the stopper on the end of your tray and tip the unused glitter back into the container – brilliant!
I just love this colour combo of Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight and Very Vanilla! I kept with this same combo to create another card featuring the Eat Chocolate Set and the matching decorative punch – so simple but so effective!
