It took us a while to get this newsletter together, but we're happy to share some news with you of a few very busy weeks here at the commune.
One reason why it took us some time is that we were working on two new websites: A redesign of the website of the commune at www.internationalistcommune.com also we made a new website to present our campaign "Make Rojava Green Again" better to the outside. You can find the result of our work at: www.makerojavagreenagain.org… plus a new Instagram page for the commune at instagram.com/RojavaCommune!
We are happy to hear any feedback, or about mistakes you might find.
In our last email we shared news of our first education here at the Helin Qerecox Academy. Since then some friends have moved on to work in society, for example working in the health structures in a refugee camp or joining the media work elsewhere.
in the last months also an autonomous women delegation organizend by the women of the commune took place – you can read about their travels from Raqqa to a camp for young women on the banks of the Euphrates here.
Some of the male friends also joined an education together with Kurdish and Arabic youth in Haseke, where we had the opportunity to visit archaeological sites across the region – you can find out about what we learned here.
Other opportunities have come up to engage and work in society – the women friends are starting a library project with Kurdish comrades, some friends are working with the youth structures in Derik to bring young people into contact with the movement through English and boxing classes.
We also joined a long march to the border of Bashur with comrades from the youth movement. You can read about this experience of political organising in the Rojavan context here.
Here at the commune, our shared study in Kurdish and the ideology of the movement continue alongside our practical works. More friends have been sharing their thoughts, contradictions and struggles on our site.
You can find there reflections on the importance of the sehids (martyrs) in our daily life in the Commune; a testimony from an anarchist insurrectionist on what drew him to the Kurdish movement; and an interview with a Palestinian internationalist discussing why he joined the Rojava revolution.
Regarding the Make Rojava Green Again campaign, we have started working every day in a nearby tree nursery/cooperative. In that way we are learning Kurdish in daily life, and at the same time learned useful knowledge for the work in our own place.
During the hot summer months we are continuing our planning – in autumn we will plant at least 2000 trees in the area of our academy, and in winter we will start preparing and planting the shoots for our own tree nursery. We have also constructed a new sun-shelter in our garden to protect our young plants.
Besides this, we have started thinking and practically experimenting with some other projects: for example, we want to build a small bio-gas machine which will enable us to turn our compost to gas and use it for cooking.
Another bigger project ahead is a water treatment system for the grey water from our kitchen and bathrooms. Especially in the summer, the water situation is critical in Rojava, and news has reached us about water shortages in the major cities of Qamislo and Heseke. A lot of water is used for irrigation in agriculture. Since we will have a huge need of water for the tree nursery we would like to use as much as greywater as possible for irrigation.
Another thing keeping us busy is our book project. We currently in the process of translating the 'Make Rojava Green Again' book into 14 different languages as well as preparing to publish it in different places across the globe. We will keep you up to date as the process proceeds and the book reaches publication – first of all in English.
Anyhow, the printing and layout are a significant expense for us. Though we've reached our initial £3000 target and are moving ahead with the English publication, we still need money to cover the costs of the Arabic and Kurdish and all other language versions of the book. Since we wanet to use any proceeds from selling the book in our projects here, we would be glad if you could support our crowd-funding campaign.
You can find more information on our new website about how to work with and support us from your home countries or by travelling here to Rojava. The contacts and networks we are building across the globe are extremely important to us, and we are always looking for new chances to share information, knowledge and opportunities with international comrades.
Friends at the the International Youth Festival in Farkha, Palestine, recently read a letter of solidarity from us at the Internationalist Commune, and later planted a tree for Abdullah Öcalan, the imprisoned representative of the Kurdish liberation movement.
The Cuban, Palestinian and YPJ flags flew together over the festival's entrance. We will leave you with this picture of the new internationalism, being built up here and now in Rojava. Solidarity to comrades all over the globe.


This post was written by Jack Borer, a MPGE Senior. He was a part of the team that traveled to Alberta to compete in the Alberta Energy Challenge. Below is a summary of his experiences.
Landon Wright, Najia Bilala, Ishank Gupta and I were given the opportunity by the University of Oklahoma's MPGE to participate in the Alberta Energy Challenge (AEC). The AEC turned out to be one of the most interesting, dynamic, and formative moments of my undergraduate career. I consider being selected to represent OU at the AEC a great honor and would like to express my gratitude to all the MPGE and AEC members who made this opportunity available to us.
The AEC is a case competition that takes place over five days in the city of Edmonton, which is in the heart of the "Texas of the North", Alberta. A case competition is a timed challenge during which two or more teams develop a solution to solve a business or policy problem that society faces. I will talk about the trip we made to an oil sands operation and then the case competition challenge itself.
On our second day in Edmonton, we woke up at 5:00 AM to get on a bus headed for the heart of Alberta's industrial economy: the Athabasca oil sands. The oil sands are a vast natural resource covering an area greater than England in northern Alberta. Over 170 billion barrels of gooey bitumen are locked in permeable and porous unconsolidated sands at depths ranging from one meter to several hundred meters below surface. In the states, we most often associate oil sands with open-pit mines teeming with 400-ton dump trucks and power shovels the size of a large house. In Alberta, however, most of the oil sands, roughly 80%, are too deep to be accessible by strip mining. Remaining deep reserves are produced in-situ with the steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process. MEG Energy's Christina Lake project is one such in-situ SAGD development. After a five-hour bus ride through endless tracts of boreal forest and featureless muskeg we arrived at MEG's Christina Lake site. As we stepped off the bus and sauntered into the field office for the site safety orientation, I was expecting to see a rough and tumble crew wearing dirty coveralls and mud-covered boots. Much to my surprise, as I entered the office I was met with a big smile and instructions to take my shoes off. The inside of the building was immaculately clean, well-organized, and had a delicious (and might I say) well deserved lunch waiting for us. After receiving a briefing on safety protocol, environmental responsibility, and the SAGD process, we were issued PPE and sent on our way to tour the site. Never in my life have I ever seen a more impressive facility. The wellheads were spotless, roads were clean and well kept, production and pipeline facilities were all in perfect working order and the employees had smiles on their faces. Producing over 80,000 BOPD is no small task and being able to be in the middle of the operation, at the heart of the Albertan economy, was a humbling experience. Standing in the warm glow of a steam injection well while learning about one of the world's greatest industries on a cold and rainy 2°C day in the middle of the Athabasca oil sands is an experience that I will never forget.
problem of orphan wells. An orphan is a well that has no legally responsible and/or financially able party to deal with its abandonment and reclamation responsibilities. Due to the current low commodity price environment and recent regulatory changes, Alberta has experienced a huge influx of orphan wells. Over course of 48 hours, all nine teams formulated a strategy to reduce the number of orphan wells. Then, each team presented their solution to a panel of judges from the Albertan energy industry and regulatory bodies including the Alberta Energy Regulator. The Canadian home teams, including University of Alberta, MacEwan University and University of Saskatchewan took first, second, and third, respectively.
The AEC is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Every single day was filled with new and exciting events that showed us what a wonderful place the "Texas of the North" really is.
Glad you had a chance to visit the Athabasca Tar Sands while there!
Thanks for representing the 100s of students back at the U so well.

Scores of Clinton emails retroactively classified
Security status of 150 of Hillary Clinton's private server emails upgraded, as 4,000 more emails are released.
Clinton has been criticised for using a private server during her time at the state department [Scott Morgan/Reuters]
The US state department has released over 4,000 more of the emails former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton kept on a private server and revealed that some 150 others have been retroactively classified.
Reporters and Clinton's rivals for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination on Monday began scouring 7,000 additional pages of messages from the emails she handed over earlier this year after coming under fire for operating the unofficial server.
But perhaps the greater danger to Clinton, with no smoking gun emerging immediately as the hunt began, lay in the emails which officials said had now seen their security status upgraded to "classified" or above, implying they should not have been sent.
Hillary Clinton's bid to become first female US president
"I think it's somewhere around 150," state department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters, adding that the process of re-evaluating the remaining unreleased emails was continuing.
Last month, officials said that 63 other emails had also been "upgraded in some form".
'Potential hack target'
Clinton has been criticised for using a private server rather than an official government domain for all her emails during her time at the state department.
Critics allege that she used the so-called "homebrew server" - physically located in the bathroom of a private internet provider - to avoid political scrutiny of her time as the top US diplomat.
They also charge that she put national security at risk by taking classified information out of supposedly secure government systems and putting it onto an unauthorised network that could be prey to hackers.
Clinton, for her part, insists none of the emails on the private server was formally marked "classified" nor any higher designation such as "top secret".
If the probe reveals that classified or secret information was shared on unsecured networks or with individuals without a security clearance, Clinton or her staff could face legal consequences.
Toner confirmed that the review, being overseen by the Intelligence Community Inspector General, has so far found no emails directly marked "classified."
But while the material reviewed so far was not marked "classified", the number of emails containing sensitive information that are now, in hindsight, thought worthy of classification is on the rise.
Toner added that the latest declassification, added to previous such publications, brought the proportion of emails released or redacted as classified to more than 25 percent.
"The goal is, we do a thorough scrub on whether these need to be redacted before they can be released publicly," he said.
The emails that were released - some of them banal, some cryptic, some heavily redacted and some potentially enlightening - did not immediately throw up any proof of wrongdoing as reporters began to scan them.

Erle P. Halliburton
AKA Erle Palmer Halliburton
Born: 22-Sep-1891 [1]
Birthplace: Henning, TN
Location of death: Los Angeles, CA
Cause of death: Emphysema
Occupation: Business, Inventor
Party Affiliation: Republican
Executive summary: Founder of Halliburton
Military service: US Navy (1910-15)
As a young man Erle P. Halliburton learned and improved the technique of oil well cementing, which strengthens the walls of oil wells and reduces the danger of explosions during drilling. He was fired from his first oil industry job for making unauthorized changes to cementing procedures, and (according to company folklore) hocked his wife's wedding ring to finance his own cementing business, the New Method Oil Well Cementing Company in 1919. The firm, now known as Halliburton, started with one mule-drawn wagon, but business boomed after Halliburton developed a mechanized mixer that ended the need for hand-mixing of cement, a tedious chore given that reinforcing a single well requires up to thousands of bags of cement. By the 1950s the business had cemented 100,000 wells worldwide, and purchased all its key rivals. Halliburton (the man) was estimated to be worth $75-100M, making him one of the richest Americans by his 1957 death.
Halliburton held 38 patents for oil-related tools and several unrelated inventions. As an early jet-setter he grew frustrated at having his luggage bumped and dented, and he had his engineers design sturdy aluminum luggage and established the Halliburton Case Company. This subsidiary was sold in 1960 and is now known as Zero Halliburton.
[1] 1892 according to some sources, but 1891 according to paperwork filed by Halliburton himself. Also, 1892 would make Halliburton an unlikely two months younger than his brother.
Father: Edwin Graves Halliburton (b. 1858, d. 1906)
Mother: Lou Emma Cothran Halliburton (b. 1868, m. 1887, d. 1951)
Brother: Frank Cathran Halliburton (b. 9-Jul-1892, d. 27-Sep-1955)
Wife: Vida Tabor Halliburton (b. 15-Apr-1894, m. 11-Sep-1915, d. 8-Dec-1951)

Slaget om Ấp Bắc var en træfning udkæmpet mellem Sydvietnam, støttet af amerikanske militære rådgivere og FNL/Viet Cong. Slaget fandt sted 2. januar 1963 i Định Tường-provinsen i Sydvietnam. Slaget fik stor betydning for den senere amerikanske militære optrapning i landet, efter som træfningen afslørede kommunisternes militære slagkraft og Sydvietnams manglende evne til at føre krigen på egen hånd. Journalister var til stede på slagmarken i det umiddelbare efterspil og forstærkede dermed indtrykket af, at krigen var i færd med at tippe i kommunistenes favør.

Baggrund
Siden Genève-aftalerne i 1954 havde Vietnam været delt langs den 17. breddegrad mellem det kommunistiske nord ledet af Hồ Chí Minh, og et vestligt støttet kapitalistisk syd under Ngô Đình Diệm. Under fredsplanen skulle frie valg i 1956 lægge grundlaget for genforeningen af landet. Ingen af parterne overholdt aftalen, og nord forsøgte at erobre sydlandet med vold. Nordvietnam blev støttet af Maos Kina og Sovjetunionen og havde længe udkæmpet en guerillakrig i syd. Frygt for tabet af Sydvietnam havde ført til en gradvis forøgelse af amerikansk hjælp. Mod slutningen af 1962 var der 2.700 amerikanske rådgivere integreret i sydvietnamesiske enheder, og store leverancer af håndvåben, helikoptre og panservogne var også blevet bevilget til Sydvietnam. Den 28. december 1962 fik sydvietnamesiske enheder oplysninger om en Viet Cong-enhed, som havde etableret stillinger ved landsbyen Ấp Bắc, og besluttede sig for at angribe. Nordvietnamesiske styrker var blevet advaret om angrebet takket være stjålne amerikanske militærradioer. De besluttede sig for at arrangere et baghold.

Slaget
Klokken 7 om morgenen ankom ti H-21 "flyvende bananer" med 1. bataljon i Sydvietnams 11. infanteriregiment til en rismark ca. 300 meter fra Ấp Bắc. Marken var dækket af tåge, og enhederne bevægede sig til fods i kolonner mod landsbyen. Da sydvietnameserne var 30 meter fra kanten af marken, åbnede Viet Cong sit bagholdsangreb. 1. bataljons kommandør blev umiddelbart dræbt, og mange af hans medsoldater blev mejet ned på den åbne mark. Resten af enheden søgte dækning. Helikoptrene, fløjet af amerikanske piloter, fragtede forstærkninger ind for at hjælpe. Stadig flere kompagnier blev sat ind i den dødelige kugleregn. Viet Cong skød mod helikopterne med granater og bombekastere, og ødelagde fem, mens de landede og lettede. Sydvietnameserne fik i løbet af eftermiddagen artilleristøtte og luftstøtte fra amerikanske enheder som beskød de nordvietnamesiske stillinger, med minimal effekt. Til sidst blev M113-panservogne sat ind i slaget for at redde de sydvietnamesiske enheder. Tidligere fik disse køretøjer Viet Cong til at flygte, men denne gang blev vognene og deres udsatte maskingeværmandskab beskudt. Nogle af slagets alvorligste tab blev lidt af panservongsmandskaberne. Efterhånden, som aftenen nærmede sig, indsatte Sydvietnam til sidst sin elitestyrke på 300 faldskærmjægere for at afskære nordvietnamesernes tilbagetrækning mod øst. Da transportflyene nærmede sig Ấp Bắc, blev de beskudt og piloterne ændrede flyveretning. Mandskaberne kompenserede ikke for denne ændring, da de hoppede ud af flyene, og landede derfor foran kommunisternes stillinger, i stedet for bag. Mange af soldaternes faldskærme satte sig fast i træerne. Dermed blev også denne enhed udsat for store tab. På trods af al modgangen var det lige før, at Viet Congs stillinger faldt. Nordvietnameserne trak sig derfor tilbage mod øst, da natten faldt på om aftenen den 2. januar, uden at blive forhindret eller beskudt.

Resultat
Militært set var slaget ved Ấp Bắc ubetydeligt. Sydvietnameserne havde indtaget landsbyen, trods store tab. Alligevel skulle slaget få store eftervirkninger. For det første viste det, at Sydvietnam ikke havde evne til at vinde krigen mod nord på egen hånd. Deres bedste enheder havde lidt store tab og gjort en række taktiske fejl, og fjenden var sluppet væk uden tab. For det andet viste slaget, at amerikanske bevilgninger til landet ikke var tilstrækkelige. Til trods for hjælp både fra helikoptre og panservogne havde fjendens stillinger holdt. De vestlige journalister til stede karakteriserede slaget som et nederlag. Det blev klart for den amerikanske ledelse, at dersom der ikke blev givet større bevilgninger til Sydvietnam, ville det tabe krigen. Et år senere ville præsident Lyndon B. Johnson iværksætte amerikanske luftangreb og blokkade, og mindre end to år senere ville amerikanske kampstyrker blive landsatte i Sydvietnam.

Get experimental with Koma Elektronik's new Field Kit workstation
By Simon Arblaster (Future Music) 2016-12-14T12:44:00.348Z Tech
Electroacoustic instrument brings Musique Concrète to the masses
Time to channel your inner Karlheinz Stockhausen.
Koma Elektronik has developed a brand new electroacoustic workstation called the Field Kit, which is designed to process signals from microphones, contact microphones and electromagnetic pickups, and is able to run DC motors and solenoids.
Not only that, but the Field Kit can also receive radio signals and convert signals from switches and sensors into control voltages.
The unit comprises the Four Channel Mixer, CV Radio, Envelope Follower, LFO and DC Interface.
The Four Channel Mixer is the beating heart of the Field Kit, providing a fully functional mixer with individual Gain, Mix Level and Tone control over each channel and individual Master and Aux sub-mixes.
The CV Radio is a CV-controllable radio receiver capable of receiving radio frequencies on AM/FM and SW bands. Additionally, it provides the ability to catch electromagnetic waves for further processing inside the Field Kit. The frequency of the radio can be set with a dedicated multifunctional Search control which acts both as a manual CV source and as an input attenuator for a CV signal.
The Envelope Follower in the Field Kit applies two functions to the waveform you send to the input: full-wave rectification (mirroring of negative portions of the waveform) and low-pass filtering (averaging). It can also be used for frequency doubling of a signal, which is a great tool to have in the electroacoustic domain.
The Low Frequency Oscillator generates periodically varying voltages to be used as control signals. The output waveform can be set with a three-position Waveform control and gives out either a Square-, Triangle- or a mix of Square and Triangle waveforms.
Lastly, the DC Interface can use its output voltages to run little motors, fans, solenoids and buzzers and control them with control voltage signals. You can pick up the vibrations and electromagnetic waves with the contact microphones and electromagnetic pickup.
Not content with just producing the Field Kit, Koma Elektronik has also got some extras up for grabs.
There are plenty of smaller products on offer, including T-shirts and mixtapes, plus you'll be able to swap the front panel for a 36HP Eurorack-friendly version, should you want to add it to your system.
Aside from all that, there's also an Expansion Pack, which includes a whole bunch toys for you to plug into your Field Kit.
The Expansion Pack contains
2 x Contact Microphones
1 x Electro-Magnetic Pickup
1 x Solenoid push-pull motor
1 x DC motor
1 x small speaker
3 x patch cables
If you want to get all up in the Musique Concrète way of life, then the German manufacturer invites you to back the Field Kit on Kickstarter with super early-bird prices starting at €199 and DIY kits set at €159.
For more information, check out the Kickstarter page and Koma Elektronik website.

Q: how to detect a tab/window close event and then show a customized overlay with jqueryui? I want to detect a tab/window close event (excluding F5 refreshing and link-click event and so on) and then show a overlay. I found some answer online which is like this:
    endSession: function() {
        //customized overlay goes here
    },

    wireUpEvents: function() {
        var self = this;
        self.validNavigation = false;
        window.onbeforeunload = function() {
            if (!self.validNavigation) {
                    self.endSession();
                    return "bye"; // Chrome needs a returned string to fire the event
            }
        }
        $('html').bind('keypress', function(e){
            if (e.keyCode == 116) {
                self.validNavigation = true;
            }
        });
        $('a').bind("click", function(){
            self.validNavigation = true;
        });
        $('form').bind('click', function(){
            self.validNavigation = true;
        });
        $('input[type=submit]').bind('click',function(){
            self.validNavigation = true;
        });
    }
    $(document).ready(function() {
        wireUpEvents();
    });

But I just found two weird things:

*

*The F5 keypress event cannot be detected, it can only detect those number and character keypress event. And what surprised me the most is that it is the character t instead of F5 which has keyCode == 116! (it seems that 116 is the ascii code for lowercase t)

*As Chrome needs a returned string to fire the event, it always shows a default popup with the string in it when it fires, which means I cannot create my customized popup with jqueryui or something. How to fix this?

We have references to the Buttermarket in Hungerford between 1607 and 1746.
Soon after the erection of the Hungerford's Elizabethan Town Hall in 1573, a Duchy of Lancaster survey in 1607 (Berks RO H/M6) shows that the town had now acquired a buttermarket, "the gift of Erasmus Webb".
By 1675 it would seem that the Buttermarket had passed into private hands, for there was a lease of 99 years on the upper part of the building from Richard Hawkins to John Gall, the lessee undertaking to do extensive repairs and improvements.
The Buttermarket is referred to in 1716, but in 1726 the Hocktide Court ordered it to be pulled down and the site "pitched" for a Market Cross.
"Paid ye Expences of Takin down the Market House & carry away £3 11s".
There is no record of the Market Cross.

Joint Statement of the Civil Society Organizations on the Draft-Law on Protection of the KLA War Values
YIHR
Civil society organizations call on the deputies from the Democratic Party of Kosovo, specifically the proposer of the draft-law Mr. Gazmend Bytyqi to withdraw the Draft-law on the Protection of KLA War Values.
We have been following the recent developments regarding this draft-law with great concern and we believe that as such the draft-law is not in line with the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo. Particularly the current draft-law violates freedom of speech, while it undermines the efforts toward bringing justice for all victims and survivors from all ethnic backgrounds.
According to Article 40 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo freedom of expression is a guaranteed right and it includes the right of people to express themselves, to disseminate and receive information, opinions and other messages without impediment. Article 5 of the draft-law on the Protection of the KLA War Values, states that "any public official and citizen of the Republic of Kosovo shall be obliged to respect and protect the war values determined by this Law in any time and circumstance within the country and abroad." This article clearly violates freedom of expression guaranteed with the Constitution and as such should not be enforced.
The proposed draft-law is very concerning when taking into account the overall public discourse and political implications revolving around the role and legacy of the KLA. There have been a number of occasions in the past when people have been lynched for publicly expressing their opinions about the KLA and individuals that have been part of the KLA. Additionally, the passing of this law would open a door for other initiatives that violate this right and as such it would set a dangerous precedent. Therefore, we call on the members of the parliament to be vigilant and focus on protecting freedom of expression as a basic human right and a foundational democratic value.
We believe that our institutional and collective efforts should be focused toward peace and reconciliation, supporting and respecting the dignity of all victims and survivors of all ethnicities from the last war in Kosovo and demanding justice for all of them.

`Here!' cried Alice, quite forgetting in the flurry of the moment how large she had grown in the last few minutes, and she jumped up in such a hurry that she tipped over the jury-box with the edge of her skirt, upsetting all the jurymen on to the heads of the crowd below, and there they lay sprawling about, reminding her very much of a globe of goldfish she had accidentally upset the week before.
`Oh, I BEG your pardon!' she exclaimed in a tone of great dismay, and began picking them up again as quickly as she could, for the accident of the goldfish kept running in her head, and she had a vague sort of idea that they must be collected at once and put back into the jury-box, or they would die.
`The trial cannot proceed,' said the King in a very grave voice, `until all the jurymen are back in their proper places– ALL,' he repeated with great emphasis, looking hard at Alice as he said do.
`What do you know about this business?' the King said to Alice.
`Nothing WHATEVER?' persisted the King.
`That's very important,' the King said, turning to the jury. They were just beginning to write this down on their slates, when the White Rabbit interrupted: `UNimportant, your Majesty means, of course,' he said in a very respectful tone, but frowning and making faces at him as he spoke.
`UNimportant, of course, I meant,' the King hastily said, and went on to himself in an undertone, `important–unimportant– unimportant–important–' as if he were trying which word sounded best.
Some of the jury wrote it down `important,' and some `unimportant.' Alice could see this, as she was near enough to look over their slates; `but it doesn't matter a bit,' she thought to herself.
`I'M not a mile high,' said Alice.
`You are,' said the King.
`Nearly two miles high,' added the Queen.
`It's the oldest rule in the book,' said the King.
`Then it ought to be Number One,' said Alice.
The King turned pale, and shut his note-book hastily. `Consider your verdict,' he said to the jury, in a low, trembling voice.
`What's in it?' said the Queen.
`Who is it directed to?' said one of the jurymen.
`Are they in the prisoner's handwriting?' asked another of they jurymen.
`That PROVES his guilt,' said the Queen.
`Read them,' said the King.
The White Rabbit put on his spectacles. `Where shall I begin, please your Majesty?' he asked.
The jury all wrote down on their slates, `SHE doesn't believe there's an atom of meaning in it,' but none of them attempted to explain the paper.
`If there's no meaning in it,' said the King, `that saves a world of trouble, you know, as we needn't try to find any. And yet I don't know,' he went on, spreading out the verses on his knee, and looking at them with one eye; `I seem to see some meaning in them, after all. "–SAID I COULD NOT SWIM–" you can't swim, can you?' he added, turning to the Knave.
`But, it goes on "THEY ALL RETURNED FROM HIM TO YOU,"' said Alice.
`Why, there they are!' said the King triumphantly, pointing to the tarts on the table. `Nothing can be clearer than THAT. Then again–"BEFORE SHE HAD THIS FIT–" you never had fits, my dear, I think?' he said to the Queen.
`Then the words don't FIT you,' said the King, looking round the court with a smile. There was a dead silence.
`It's a pun!' the King added in an offended tone, and everybody laughed, `Let the jury consider their verdict,' the King said, for about the twentieth time that day.
`Off with her head!' the Queen shouted at the top of her voice. Nobody moved.
`Oh, I've had such a curious dream!' said Alice, and she told her sister, as well as she could remember them, all these strange Adventures of hers that you have just been reading about; and when she had finished, her sister kissed her, and said, `It WAS a curious dream, dear, certainly: but now run in to your tea; it's getting late.' So Alice got up and ran off, thinking while she ran, as well she might, what a wonderful dream it had been.
First, she dreamed of little Alice herself, and once again the tiny hands were clasped upon her knee, and the bright eager eyes were looking up into hers–she could hear the very tones of her voice, and see that queer little toss of her head to keep back the wandering hair that WOULD always get into her eyes–and still as she listened, or seemed to listen, the whole place around her became alive the strange creatures of her little sister's dream.
The long grass rustled at her feet as the White Rabbit hurried by–the frightened Mouse splashed his way through the neighbouring pool–she could hear the rattle of the teacups as the March Hare and his friends shared their never-ending meal, and the shrill voice of the Queen ordering off her unfortunate guests to execution–once more the pig-baby was sneezing on the Duchess's knee, while plates and dishes crashed around it–once more the shriek of the Gryphon, the squeaking of the Lizard's slate-pencil, and the choking of the suppressed guinea-pigs, filled the air, mixed up with the distant sobs of the miserable Mock Turtle.
So she sat on, with closed eyes, and half believed herself in Wonderland, though she knew she had but to open them again, and all would change to dull reality–the grass would be only rustling in the wind, and the pool rippling to the waving of the reeds–the rattling teacups would change to tinkling sheep- bells, and the Queen's shrill cries to the voice of the shepherd boy–and the sneeze of the baby, the shriek of the Gryphon, and all thy other queer noises, would change (she knew) to the confused clamour of the busy farm-yard–while the lowing of the cattle in the distance would take the place of the Mock Turtle's heavy sobs.

Cloud Computing Market Trends 2012
Although 2012 is barely two months old, the cloud computing landscape already evinces some important new trends related to the market appetite for cloud products and services. Whereas 2011 witnessed the proliferation of new market entrants that established or consolidated their branding, the market for cloud computing services has matured in 2012 to a point where the battle lines are beginning to be drawn as the actors take their place at the table. On one hand, the market for cloud computing products and services has exploded at a dizzying pace, leading to an increasingly variegated market landscape that differentially competes in price, features, support, portability and support for compliance standards. But despite the proliferation of venture backed new market entrants, the boundaries of the battle for cloud computing market share have been redrawn with unmistakable precision as follows:
1.	Amazon Web Services versus OpenStack
The rising popularity of OpenStack has thrown down the gauntlet to Amazon Web Services and proprietary cloud solutions more generally.
Amazon Web Services consolidates its positioning as the leader in cloud computing market share by adding feature after feature to its dizzying array of cloud computing products and services. Less than 50 days into 2012, Amazon Web Services announced Amazon DynamoDB for Big Data processing, a partnership with CheckPoint for cloud security, as well as agreements with Red Hat to host its Virtual Storage Appliance for Amazon Web Services and the Red Hat MRG Enterprise cloud services via Red Hat Cloud Access.
OpenStack's fortunes continue to soar, fueled both by the allure of its inter-operable framework and the cost-savings enabled by open-source software, even in its commercialized form. Even though the dent in Amazon Web Services market share from OpenStack deployments is likely to be miniscule, at this point, OpenStack takes the cake in terms of organic publicity and its attractiveness as the basis of a business model based on an alternative to proprietary cloud solutions. OpenStack is gearing up for its Essex release in the second quarter of 2012. Separately, its ability to integrate with third party automated provisioning software such as Chef, Puppetlabs and RightScale is both impressive and promising.
Rackspace occupies a unique position in relation to the emerging battle between Amazon Web Services and OpenStack as the purveyor of a proprietary public cloud solution and distributor of a commercialized version of OpenStack for private clouds.
2.	Proliferation of OpenStack-based, enterprise grade private clouds
Coincident with the rise of OpenStack is the proliferation of enterprise-grade deployments of OpenStack for private clouds. The market has witnessed a veritable cottage industry of companies dedicated to commercial-grade OpenStack deployments that feature automation, management tools, cloud security and support for regulatory standards such as FISMA, HIPAA and other government regulations. Vendors that have commercialized OpenStack include Citrix Systems, Dell, HP, Internap, Nebula, Piston, Rackspace and Cloudscaling. Rackspace recently announced a partnership with Redapt to facilitate deployment of private clouds based on OpenStack.
3.	Growth of PaaS vendors and platforms
As noted by Gartner's Yefim Natis, the Platform as a Service vertical stands poised for explosive growth in 2012. PaaS appeals to enterprises that lack the technical resources to manage complex IaaS deployments even though they typically need to install a PaaS infrastructure within a private cloud environment. PaaS provides an easier on-ramp to the cloud for enterprises that are anxious to begin deploying applications into a cloud-based infrastructure. The PaaS market currently features products such as OpenShift (Red Hat), Cloud Foundry (VMware), CloudSwing (OpenLogic), Engine Yard Cloud (Engine Yard), Heroku (Salesforce), Azure (Microsoft), Google App Engine (Google), Cumulogic PaaS (CumuLogic), dotCloud, Appfog, ActiveState Stackato (ActiveState), AnyCloud (CloudBees) and Jelastic. Engine Yard's revenue of $28 million in 2011 illustrates the earning potential within the PaaS vertical.

Red Hat Delivers Storage Appliance On Amazon Web Services
Red Hat is ready to deliver an online storage solution that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) called the Red Hat Virtual Storage Appliance for Amazon Web Services. Based on technology from its recent acquisition Gluster, the Red Hat Virtual Storage Appliance for Amazon Web Services is intended to provide enterprise grade cloud storage with high availability, performance and scalability. The appliance enables users to aggregate instances of Amazon Elastic Block Storage (EBS) and Amazon EC2 to obtain a highly scalable, virtualized storage environment that allows enterprises to leverage the cloud for storage purposes in addition to application deployment. The Red Hat storage appliance boasts asynchronous and synchronous file replication. Synchronous file replication ensures replication across multiple availability zones within a single AWS region, whereas asynchronous file replication enables availability across more than one AWS region. Importantly, the appliance is POSIX compliant, meaning enterprises need not rearchitect applications to transition them to the cloud. Because of its POSIX compliance, the Red Hat Virtual Storage Appliance for Amazon Web Services can accommodate Intel-based Unix applications.
Red Hat intends to make its storage appliance available within the platforms of other cloud providers as well. Provisionally, however, the Amazon Web Services partnership with Red Hat represents yet another coup for the Seattle cloud giant as it consolidates its branding as a one stop shopping ground for cloud, Big Data and storage solutions. Red Hat acquired Gluster, the company that provided the underlying technology for its virtual storage solution, in October 2011 for $136 million in cash.

Amazon DynamoDB Offers Big Data Cloud Processing With Managed Services
This week, Amazon Web Services announced the availability of Amazon DynamoDB, a fully managed cloud-based database service for Big Data processing. The announcement represents yet another move by Amazon Web Services to consolidate enterprise market share by providing an offering that can store massive amounts of data with ultra-fast, predictable rates of performance and low latency waiting times. Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database built for customers that do not require complex querying capabilities such as indexes, transactions, or joins. DynamoDB constitutes a greatly enhanced version of Amazon SimpleDB. One of Amazon SimpleDB's principal limitations is its 10 GB limit on data within containers known as domains. Moreover, Amazon SimpleDB suffered from performance issues due to indexing all of the attributes for an object within a domain and a commitment to eventual consistency of the database taken to an extreme. Amazon DynamoDB builds upon the company's prior experience with SimpleDB and Dynamo, the precursor to NoSQL, by offering the following features:
•	Managed services
Amazon DynamoDB managed services take care of processes such as provisioning servers, configuring a cluster, and dealing with scaling, partition and replication issues.
•	No Upper Bound On Data
Customers can store as much data as they would like. Data will be spread out across multiple servers spanning multiple Availability Zones.
•	Speed
The solid state drives on which Amazon DynamoDB is built help optimize performance and ensure low latencies. Applications running in the EC2 environment should expect to see latencies in the "single-digit millisecond range for a 1KB object." Another reason performance is optimized involves a design whereby all attributes are not indexed.
•	Flexible schemas and data models
Data need not adopt a particular schema and can have multiple attributes, including attributes that themselves have multiple values.
•	Integration with Amazon Elastic MapReduce (Amazon EMR)
Because DynamoDB is integrated with the Hadoop-based, Amazon Elastic MapReduce technology, customers can analyze data in DynamoDB and store the results in S3, thereby preserving the original dataset in DynamoDB.
•	Low cost
Pricing starts at $1 per GB per month.
With this set of features, Amazon DynamoDB represents a dramatic entrant to the Big Data party that features Oracle, HP, Teradata, Splunk and others. The product underscores Amazon Web Services's strategic investment in becoming a one-stop service for cloud and Big Data processing. Moreover, the managed services component of Amazon DynamoDB represents a clear change of pace by Jeff Bezos's spin-off because of its recognition of the value of managed services at the enterprise level for technology deployments. Amazon DynamoDB's managed services offering is expected to appeal to enterprises that would rather invest technical resources in innovation and software development as opposed to the operational maintenance of a complex IT ecosystem. Assuming that AWS can quantify the degree to which DynamoDB's managed services offering ends up being responsible for sales, expect to see more managed service offerings from Amazon Web Services in both the cloud computing and Big Data verticals. Going forward, the technology community should also expect partnerships between Amazon Web Services and business intelligence vendors that mimic the deal between Jaspersoft and Red Hat's OpenShift given how Amazon Web Services appears intent on retaining customers within their ecosystem for all of their cloud hosting, Big Data and business intelligence analytics needs.

Amazon Web Services Partners With CheckPoint For Virtual Appliance For Cloud Security
Amazon Web Services and CheckPoint announced the availability of Virtual Appliance for Amazon Web Services, a product that empowers Amazon Web Services customers to deploy more than 30 security applications within their EC2 virtual environment. Virtual Appliance for Amazon Web Services enables AWS customers to select and deploy applications for firewall, antivirus, URL filtering, application control, intrusion prevention, mobile access and data loss prevention. Because the virtual appliance leverages the same code used by CheckPoint's on premise security applications, it caters to users already familiar with CheckPoint's security products by delivering applications that resemble those within its on premise security suite. CheckPoint's base product for Amazon Web Services features a firewall and virtual gateway priced at $2000. Users can subsequently add more "blades" to their virtual appliance that correspond to the security products they would like to deploy within a virtual environment for $1500 per blade. By partnering with CheckPoint to deliver a virtual appliance, Amazon Web Services started off the New Year by addressing cloud security, one of the most pressing contemporary concerns in the cloud computing space.

Cloud Computing 2011: The Year in Review
Whereas Time magazine selected "The Protester" as the Person of the Year, the award for Technology of the Year surely goes to Cloud Computing. 2011 marked the year that cloud computing emerged with force and gravitas onto the enterprise landscape. In the case of enterprise CIOs and IT leaders pondering the use of cloud computing infrastructures, the question of the day suddenly morphed from whether to engage the services of a cloud provider to when and how. Over the course of the year, cloud providers grew, emerged, acquired companies or were acquired, raised venture capital and announced products at a dizzying pace.
Within months, the cloud computing landscape transformed from the Amazon, Rackspace, Joyent, Terremark, Savvis show to something radically heterogeneous and complex. As more and more cloud technologies proliferated, analysts and technologists alike began to feel that the term "cloud computing" itself was losing its meaning. Meanwhile, news agencies and blogs struggled to keep up with the pace of innovation and deployment as startups and enterprises alike announced new, exciting and powerful cloud technologies day after day, week after week.
Below are some of the highlights of cloud computing in 2011, the year of the cloud:
•	In January and February, Amazon Web Services busted out of the gate in 2011 with the launch of Elastic Beanstalk and CloudFormation. Elastic Beanstalk automates the process of deploying an application on Amazon's virtual servers. CloudFormation automates the provisioning of virtual resources using templates that streamline the setup of an infrastructure for deployments of new instances.
•	In May, Citrix announced plans to launch Project Olympus, an IaaS platform that allows customers to leverage the OpenStack operating system code to create public or private clouds. Project Olympus marked the first commercialization of OpenStack and thereby inaugurated a series of commercial OpenStack deployments throughout the remainder of 2011.
•	In May, Red Hat launched IaaS platform CloudForms and PaaS platform OpenShift. CloudForms signaled genuine innovation in the IaaS space because of its Application Lifecycle Management capabilities and hybrid infrastructure flexibility. OpenShift, meanwhile, presented direct competition to Google Apps, Windows Azure and Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk because of the breadth of its deployment platform and claims about increased portability.
•	In June, Apple announced details of iCloud, a software framework that synchronizes files across multiple devices such as iPads, iPhones and personal computers, and pushes software updates to a constellation of devices in unison. In a keynote address at the Apple Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC), Steve Jobs famously remarked that iCloud would "demote the PC and Mac to being a device," because "we're going to move the digital hub into the cloud."
•	In August, Amazon Web Services announced the launch of GovCloud, a private cloud for government agencies that complies with regulatory and compliance rules for the Federal government such as FISMA, FIPS 140-2 compliant end points, SAS-70, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS Level 1.
•	In September, OpenStack, the open source cloud computing infrastructure that gained the backing of 144 companies including AMD, Canonical, Cisco, Dell, Intel and Citrix, released Diablo, its latest software version since the Cactus release in April 2011. Diablo, the first upgrade to OpenStack released on a 6 month schedule, upgrades its existing Nova, Object Storage and Glance components.
•	Also in September, Joshua McKenty's startup Piston Cloud Computing launched pentOS, one of the first enterprise grade versions of OpenStack for private clouds. With the launch of pentOS, Piston joined HP, Citrix Systems, Nebula and Dell in an elite group of vendors that commercialized the OpenStack platform in the latter half of 2011.
•	In October, Rackspace revealed plans to turn over the leadership of OpenStack to an independent foundation. After founding OpenStack with the collaboration of NASA in the summer of 2010, Rackspace decided to hand over trademarks and copyrights to an independent foundation to ensure that OpenStack remains vendor neutral.
The meteoric rise of OpenStack constituted the cloud computing story of the year, by far. Commercial deployments of OpenStack by Piston Cloud Computing and other vendors underscored the emerging power of OpenStack as an increasingly competitive option to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) vendors such as Amazon Web Services and Rackspace. Moreover, OpenStack promised global cloud inter-operability and standards resulting from an open source organizational framework for which respect snowballed within the developer and enterprise community alike. Much of the story of cloud computing in 2012 will hinge on the ability of the OpenStack foundation to continue to promote the software framework's adoption in the private sector and establish itself as a credible counterweight to first mover Amazon Web Services and other proprietary cloud vendors.

The Testimony of Randolph Carter - DVD
According to The Lurker in the Lobby, this is one of the oldest known amateur adaptations of a Lovecraft story. This faithful adaptation of "The Statement of Randolph Carter" tells the strange story of the demise of occultist Harley Warren. It was shot in the summer of 1987 with a home VHS tape deck. What it lacks in image and audio quality it makes up in sheer sanity-blasting length. It features Darryl Tyler and Sean Branney and was directed by Andrew Leman.
The Testimony of Randolph Carter a student film; it's NOT The Call of Cthulhu. But if you're a collector of anything Lovecraftian you may still like it.
Format: NTSC, Region 0, color, running time approx. 50 minutes. Note that image and sound quality are diminished due to age an quality of original footage. The disc feature no special features of any kind.
Home / Collections / Everything / The Testimony of Randolph Carter - DVD
The H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society was founded in 1984 by a group of college friends who developed their own style of Lovecraftian Live-Action roleplaying games. Now we produce motion pictures, audio dramas, musical projects, prop replicas and documents for gamers and collectors, t-shirts, and other Lovecraftian entertainments. We like to imagine an alternate universe in which Lovecraft was famous in his own lifetime, and many of products are made in the style of the 1920s and '30s.

Q: FragmentPagerAdapter opens a different fragment automatically I have Fragment connected with FragmentPagerAdapter, with code
public class LeaveAdapterApproval extends FragmentPagerAdapter{

    private static final String TAG = LeaveAdapterApproval.class.getSimpleName();

    private static final int FRAGMENT_COUNT = 4;

    public LeaveAdapterApproval(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        switch (position){
            case 0:
                Log.d(TAG, "LOG : CURRENT FRAGMENT LeaveFragmentToAll");
                return new LeaveFragmentToAll();
            case 1:
                Log.d(TAG, "LOG : CURRENT FRAGMENT LeaveFragmentToPending");
                return new LeaveFragmentToPending();
            case 2:
                Log.d(TAG, "LOG : CURRENT FRAGMENT LeaveFragmentToApproved");
                return new LeaveFragmentToApproved();
            case 3:
                Log.d(TAG, "LOG : CURRENT FRAGMENT LeaveFragmentToDenied");
                return new LeaveFragmentToDenied();
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return FRAGMENT_COUNT;
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        switch (position){
            case 0:
                return "All";
            case 1:
                return "Pending";
            case 2:
                return "Approved";
            case 3:
                return "Denied";
        }
        return null;
    }
}

and results in Logcat

09-22 15:45:21.259 27234-27234/dan.taaku D/LeaveAdapterApproval: LOG : CURRENT FRAGMENT LeaveFragmentToPending
09-22 15:45:21.259 27234-27234/dan.taaku D/LeaveAdapterApproval: LOG : CURRENT FRAGMENT LeaveFragmentToAll
09-22 15:45:21.259 27234-27234/dan.taaku D/LeaveAdapterApproval: LOG : CURRENT FRAGMENT LeaveFragmentToApproved

We can see from the Logcat results that Fragment loads three Fragments at once, I set when the Fragment is opened Automatic to LeaveFragmentToPending in LeaveClassApproval
public class LeaveClassApproval extends Fragment {

    private static final String TAG = LeaveClassApproval.class.getSimpleName();

    private TabLayout tabLayout;
    private ViewPager viewPager;

    public LeaveClassApproval() {
    }

    @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.hr_employee_leave_class, container, false);

        tabLayout = view.findViewById(R.id.tabs);
        viewPager = view.findViewById(R.id.view_pager);

        viewPager.setAdapter(new LeaveAdapterApproval(getChildFragmentManager()));
        tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewPager);

        viewPager.setCurrentItem(1, true); // I set it here

        return view;
    }
}

But why LeaveClassApproval open LeaveFragmentToAll and LeaveFragmentToApproved, should not it be opening LeaveFragmentToPending instead. Is this a fault or is it a Fragment function?
I searched through Google but did not find an answer
So how to fix it?

A: Sounds like your problem is the default functionallity from the ViewPager itself. It has a variable called offscreenPageLimit, where the default value is 1. Means it'll always load one page to the left and one to the right. And you won't be able to set it to zero, because the source code of android behind it looks like this:,
private static final int DEFAULT_OFFSCREEN_PAGES = 1;

public void setOffscreenPageLimit(int limit) {
    if (limit < DEFAULT_OFFSCREEN_PAGES) {
        Log.w(TAG, "Requested offscreen page limit " + limit + " too small; defaulting to " +
                DEFAULT_OFFSCREEN_PAGES);
        limit = DEFAULT_OFFSCREEN_PAGES;
    }

If you realy want to get rid of this behaviour one thing you could do is building your own Pager class based on the android source code and simply try to cut out this functionallity.

A: By default the ViewPager opens the current Fragment and its two neighboring ones (that is, the one before and the one after in the data). If you want to change the default behavior use viewPager.setOffscreenPageLimit(int numberOfFragmentsToBePreloadedOnEachSideOfTheCurrentFragment). Notice, however, that the ViewPager will always load at least its two neighbors.
From the docs:

int getOffscreenPageLimit ()
Returns the number of pages that will be retained to either side of
  the current page in the view hierarchy in an idle state. Defaults to
  1.

Q: MFC/GDI CRgn CreateEllipticRgn is two pixels short? If I do CRgn::CreateEllipticRgn(0, 0, 120, 120); the result ends up with two pixels short at the right and bottom.  Why is that?   I thought maybe because a Region is within the outline rather than on the outline but in that case it should have been 1 pixel border around the entire circle instead of 2 off at right and bottom.  Any ideas?
TIA!!

A: Use a picture to explain the problem:
    //RECT
    hPen = CreatePen(PS_SOLID, 1, RGB(255, 100, 0));
    SelectObject(hdc, hPen);
    Rectangle(hdc, 10, 10, 130, 130);
    //Ellipse
    hBrush = CreateSolidBrush(RGB(255, 0, 0));
    HRGN hTemp = CreateEllipticRgn(10, 10, 130, 130);
    FrameRgn(hdc, hTemp, hBrush, 1, 1);

From Rectangle function, it points out:

The rectangle that is drawn excludes the bottom and right edges.
If a PS_NULL pen is used, the dimensions of the rectangle are 1 pixel
  less in height and 1 pixel less in width.

From CreateEllipticRgn, it points out:

A bounding rectangle defines the size, shape, and orientation of the
  region: The long sides of the rectangle define the length of the
  ellipse's major axis; the short sides define the length of the
  ellipse's minor axis; and the center of the rectangle defines the
  intersection of the major and minor axes.

From the test result, the length and width of the ellipse excludes the bottom and right edges.


Thorn In The Flesh - Verse of the Day : And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.
God gave Paul deep and intimate spiritual experiences. In 2 Corinthians 12:1-6, He was taken into the third heaven--the throne room of God. He was given a vision of heaven.
Divine encounters like Paul's will change a person's life. Though we walk by faith and not by sight, nonetheless, we must ask God for greater spiritual encounters with Him and visions of the heavenly realms.
However, despite Paul's "abundance of revelations," a thorn in the flesh was given to him. Who or what is this thorn in the flesh?
Some theologians speculate that it might be a constant opposition by some men to hinder his ministry or to discourage him. Some think that it could be a recurring physical infirmity such as poor eyesight or epilepsy. The former seems more probable because in the Old Testament, human enemies are often called "thorns in your sides" (Num. 33:55).
Paul prayed three times for deliverance and relief. He wanted God to remove the thorn in the flesh because it bothered and hurt him. It was distracting him from doing his work and made him physically weak. However, God did not take away the thorn even after Paul had prayed three times for God to remove it. Why did God allow this thorn to torment him?
Firstly, God wanted to guard against Paul from being puffed up (2 Cor. 12:7). This thron was to keep Paul in the fact that he was no better than other men. There was a danger that he might think too highly of himself because of his many revelations of God and heaven.
Secondly, God wanted to reveal His power in Paul. He said to Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness" (12:9). The weaker the vessel God has chosen, the more God is glorified when the vessel begins to do great things for God.
Thirdly, God wanted to teach Paul to live "for Christ's sake" (12:10). When the apostle Paul was struggling from his weakness, it gave Jesus the chance to infuse power into him and to overcome the weakness for him. Paul's weakness gave Jesus a chance to prove Himself strong.
Hence, Paul said that he took "pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses" (12:10). The power of Jesus often comes to you when you are at your lowest, your weakest. So, when you are at your weakest, you can also be at your strongest in Christ Jesus!
Return From Thorn In The Flesh, to Holy Spirit Led Christian.
