Following your Israeli job listings by email or rss subscriptions? Here are some changes for you.
Moti of Jobnews.co.il contacted me about his site. At first glance, it appears to be a free alternative to AllJobs. I signed up for their newsletter and waited.
I'm still waiting. Since the subscription confirmation email, no other messages have arrived from Jobnews in over 2 months.
However, I have begun receiving spam from another site, the resume writing service of mbcv.co.il. After looking around both sites and Googling them, I became suspicious of a connection and emailed Moti about them.
Until he or someone else over there replies with a credible explanation, Jobnews.co.il has been added to the mailing lists to avoid.
Incidentally, Jobnews.co.il also has an rss feed of recent additions to their database. Added to the Ultimate RSS Feed Collection after I discovered the feed, I've now removed it.
Although subscribing to an rss feed is less dangerous than email from a spam point of view, why would a company with shady email practices stop there?
The Jobnews rss feed leads to job listings with links for you to submit a contact email address and upload a resume. Who knows where your email address and resume will end up? I don't recommend using the site at all, but if you decide to do so anyway, at least use these resume posting tips.
Kehillaton is a global directory of Jewish-oriented websites. There are rss feeds for every country in the database.
The Kehillaton Israel jobs rss feed that I've added to our collection filters the job postings for you from Kehillaton's Israel-based listings.
The rss feed only shows recent postings, but Kehillaton also has a free search here so you can sort through their entire job listings database.
The removal of Jobnews and the addition of Kehillaton have also been made to the JobMob Bloglines account. Or you can just download and import the JobMob opml file to your feed reader to take into account the changes.
Just starting your Israeli job search? Or perhaps you're in a job search lull? Maybe you should try a JobMobber Profile.
Subscribe to JobMob via RSS or email to steer clear of the job search traps waiting for you.
i list myself to jobnews.co.il and start to get a lot of spams from job companys, i was very disappont that no email with job offering has become.

Keystone, And the Nonsense Arguments Being Put Up to Defeat It.
With all of the money and spend the whole being spent to defeat the Keystone oil pipeline, from Enviro zealots who apparently want us to move back to the 14th century, I've noticed a trend in the arguments. The complaint that seems to be prevailing here is that the oil coming from the tar sands is extraordinarily dirty, and will therefore make the pollution problem is that much the worse because of the origin.
This, of course, is where actual thought enters the process. Hold on to your keyboard.
Has the EPA altered standards to allow additional pollution because of the type of oil involved? Or is it going to have to be refined to meet the still existing EPA standards? In other words, there is no any additional pollution risk regardless of where the oil comes from. Regardless of its makeup.
Regardless of any other factor.

Tropico 6 FAQ Gamescom
We could get a look at Tropico 6 at the gamescom this year. Here some news for you:
What is Tropico 6?
El Presidente is back!
In times of political turmoil and social unrest, the people are calling out for a visionary leader, one who will steer the fate of their country with foresight and ingenuity. Prove yourself once again as a feared dictator or a peace-loving statesman on the island state of Tropico and shape the fate of your nation through four distinctive eras. Face new challenges on the international stage and always keep an ace up your sleeves.
For the first time in the series, manage extensive archipelagos, build huge bridges to connect your islands and establish new means of transportation and infrastructure. Send your Tropicans on raids to steal the wonders of the world, including the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower. Customize your palace at will, and give election speeches on your balcony to win the favor of your subjects.
What are the main features of Tropico 6?
Play on large archipelagos for the first time in the series. Manage multiple islands at the same time and adapt to various new challenges.
Send your agents on raids to foreign lands to steal world wonders and monuments, to add them to your collection.
Build bridges, construct tunnels and transport your citizens and tourists in taxis, buses and aerial cable cars. Tropico 6 offers completely new transportation and infrastructure possibilities.
Customize the looks of your palace at will and choose from various extras.
Tropico 6 features a revised research system focusing on the political aspects of being the world's greatest dictator.
Election speeches are back! Address the people and make promises that you cannot possibly keep.
Tropico 6 features cooperative and competitive multiplayer for up to 4 players.
Experience Tropico like never before, for the first time on Unreal Engine 4.
On which platforms will Tropico 6 be released?
PC / Mac / Linux / PS4 / Xbox One
When will Tropico 6 release?
PC: January 2019
Consoles: Summer 2019
Who is developing Tropico 6?
Limbic Entertainment, located in Langen, Germany, is developing Tropico 6.
Before starting Limbic, the three founders were game developers at Sunflowers GmbH, one of Germany's leading computer game producers. During their time at Sunflowers, Stephan Winter, Eike Radunz and Alexander Frey contributed to titles such as ANNO 1602 – NINA, ANNO 1503 and TechnoMage.
Will Tropico 6 follow on from Tropico 5's storyline?
So will it be a fully-fledged sequel, or a reboot?
Tropico 6 will not continue the storyline of Tropico 5. The game will feature a campaign mode across 15 scenarios that will tell 15 unique stories, not connected directly with each other.
Examples of scenarios are:
El Presidente wanting to rule the world of sports by abducting an American baseball team.
The Intellectuals installing an AI to rule Tropico's politics based on information obtained by analysing social network data.
An alternative timeline in which the Eastern Bloc takes over the world after World War 2 and includes Tropico in their communist collective.
A Noir-inspired mission in which El Presidente has to assist the leader of the religious faction in sabotaging the operation of the Axis in Tropico.
Players will meet a wide-ranging cast of quirky new characters as well as some returning fan favourites like Penultimo, El Presidente's loyal advisor, and Sunny Flowers, Tropico's good conscience for all things regarding Mother Earth.
What are the main differences between the older Tropico games and Tropico 6?
For the first time in the series, Tropico 6 will feature not just one huge Island, but archipelagos, consisting of many smaller islands with unique properties, allowing for unique gameplay scenarios.
Boats and bridges connect those many Islands.
Archipelagos bring a new and interesting challenge to the established gameplay formula. Players have to plan their cities and production chains across greater distances and according to the conditions of the different islands.
Also new to the Tropico series are raids.
With the four unique raid buildings, players will be able to send their Tropicans out on raids, which result in various different outcomes, like getting additional resources, technologies, manipulating trading prices, changing diplomacy ratings and preventing the various superpowers from sabotaging Tropico.
There are also specialized raids for multiplayer mode, offering a subtle way to sabotage your rivals.
With the raid buildings, players also have the opportunity to undertake Landmark Heists.
Every heist has a unique narrative plot befitting of Tropico's unique tone.
Starting a heist will result in several steps forcing players to make choices:
Possible raids and their outcome:
Raid (Resources)
Raid (Persons)
Intimidating neighboring states and countries
Sabotaging Superpowers
Provoking rebellions
Writing fake reviews for tourism
Up to 17 landmarks are waiting to be stolen, including well-known landmarks such as Stonehenge, the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty.
Landmarks are unique buildings with a strong impact on gameplay. Therefore, we are currently planning that players will only be able to complete one landmark heist per building, so the maximum of landmarks on an island in a standard game is 4.
Following four examples of landmarks and their game-impact:
Around Stonehenge, trees and coconut-palms will grow faster.
Hagia Sophi
Tropicans will no longer die because of bad healthcare.
Every new immigrant coming to Tropico will be happy, and chances are high that they will vote for El Presidente in the next election.
The happiness level of Tropicans can only be influenced by the effects of food and entertainment.
Customize your palace – This time around, El Presidente's (in)famous residence has a modular design, allowing the palace to be customized and even relocated.
10 customizable slots and 6+ variations per slot mean that there are over 1 million unique combinations available to players for them to realize their opulent, despotic vision.
Transportation and infrastructure – El Presidente does not like travelling in a llama-cart, so this time Tropico will offer more transport options, such as taxis, buses, aerial cable cars and more. Additionally, there will be more infrastructure options, such as bridges, which will connect the islands, and tunnels that get your Tropicans around, or better through Mountains and Hills.
More visual diversity – All residential buildings and many infrastructure buildings have more variations. So for example each residential building will get 3 variations, the player can choose from. Even the famous shacks on Tropico have 3 different iterations.
Tropico will feel more 'alive' than ever before, with drunken Tropicans leaving the tavern and many more interactions between Tropicans and buildings.
Three difficulty levels for the missions will offer Tropico veterans a challenge, and also allow new players to have an easier start to the game. In sandbox mode, players will have many options with which to change the game as they please. They can determine their starting era, change the starting money, define win conditions and much more.
What has stayed the same, and what has changed to make the game better?
Tropico 6 will be the most beautiful game in the franchise and will feature a greater range of visual variety, ensuring that everything will always look like the paradise on earth that the Tropican foreign office would have you believe it is…
Classic Tropico gameplay: the player fills the role of the (mostly) benevolent dictator El Presidente to rule his/her state with an open heart and an iron first. Make decisions for everything that is going on in Tropico; from crops and wages to big decisions like your immigration policy or your relationships with the major superpowers of the world.
Everything in the game is simulated. Tropicans have their own needs, like a craving for entertainment or the hope for a fair wage, which players will need to fulfil in order to win the next election. If things are not looking good, El Presidente can still send certain insubordinate individuals on a long vacation…just to make sure.
Tropico 6 will feature a more challenging balancing act for the different factions and superpowers. Juggling the approval of the different political parties will be more nuanced, and getting everyone's approval is an achievement reserved only for the most skilled and righteous of Presidentes.
Tropico 6 will feature more buildings out of the box than any Tropico before: 150+ buildings will give players the tools for every situation and offer a lot of visual variety for players who just want to build a Caribbean paradise. Tropico 6 will also feature new means to improve the infrastructure by building bridges and constructing specialized buildings such as landings, bus depots and aerial cable car stations.
Be the dictator you want to be: Players can express themselves by customizing their avatar, their palace and election speeches.
Which factions and characters can we expect?
Naturally, El Presidente will be headlining Tropico 6, accompanied by his most trusted subordinate, Penultimo.
Other classic characters are set to return, as well as brand-new characters such as The Broker, who will offer enticing deals and offers to encourage El Presidente to add to or spend his Swiss Bank account money. The table below offers a brief overview of the various Factions and Superpowers and their representing spokespersons, some of which players may recognize from previous Tropico-games:
The Factions
Revolutionaries Sofia Ortega
Capitalist Mason Belmonte
Communists Marco Moreno
Militarists General Rodriguez
Religious Sister Francesca
Environmentalists Sunny Flowers
Industrialists Harland Zander
Conservatives Hector Delgado
Intellectuals Elena Culpepper
The Superpowers
The Crown Lord Roger Wyndham
Axis Erich von Strohm
Allies Wynton Marlborough
Western Powers Colonel Buck Scott
Eastern Bloc Nadia Kuznetsov
EU Eline Dupont
USA Raymond King
Middle East Prince Thari
Russia Vlad Orlov
China Ambassador Zhang
What languages will be available in Tropico 6?
The game will support English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Korean subtitles.
Will Tropico 6 will have multiplayer support?
Yes, Tropico 6 will feature cooperative and competitive multiplayer for up to 4 players.
What multiplayer modes can be expected?
What are the victory conditions in Tropico 6?
The game can be open-ended, but there are some victory conditions such as "Reach x amount in your Treasury / Swiss Bank Account", "Have x amount of tourists on your island", "Earn x amount of Victory points by completing tasks", "Have x amount of landmarks on your island", etc.
Will there be a physical retail version?
Yes, there will be a retail version of Tropico 6 on PC, Xbox One and PS4.
What engine does Tropico 6 use?
Tropico 6 uses the latest version of Unreal Engine 4.
What will be the system requirements?
Many optimizations have already been made to the game, but the most important hardware tests are still ongoing, so currently this is still TBC.
Will the typical and sometimes dark Tropico humour be back?
Yes and with the new writing team, you can also expect fresh and new ideas.
The humour and the music have always been at the core of the Tropico series, and we are taking a lot of care to ensure that Tropico 6 will stay true to the classic Tropico experience, especially in terms of humour.
How will the combat system of Tropico 6 work?
We had good experiences with the combat system of Tropico 5. We will use this system as a foundation, on which we will then add improvements.
Will Tropico 6 have modding support via Steam Workshops?
Definitely! In addition, this will not be limited to just maps – we want to make almost every aspect of Tropico 6 moddable with the Unreal 4 Development Kit (UDK).
Will Tropico 6 have rebels and therefore protests and rebellions?
Yes, there will be rebels, riots and even faction and superpower escalations!
When a player has a bad reputation with an important faction, this can lead to serious problems.
Faction escalations happen, if one or more factions do not agree with El Presidentes actions. For example, the intellectuals can hack into the Swiss bank account of El Presidente and freeze his/her funds.
Superpower escalations can lead to an embargo, which can result in a block on trade for important goods.
Will it be possible to play as a vicious dictator, without elections?
Yes. You are El Presidente – you can do as you wish! However, how long can you stay in office when acting this way? Then there are military coups and the escalation of foreign superpowers to consider. El Presidente loves his office, and you will have to help him keep it.
Will there be a population cap?
The game is currently in development and in the process of optimization. Therefore, it is hard to give specific details regarding this, yet.
Nevertheless, there will be a limit in the game because of the technical limitations of different platforms and their architectures.
Will Tropico 6 feature cross-platform multiplayer support?
No. Players must be on the same platform network to play together, i.e. on console, Xbox Live players cannot play with PlayStation Network and/or PC players, and vice versa.
This is due to a variety of reasons, but the main one is the different architectures of the different platforms.

Victim's View
admin on August 8, 2005, 12:00 am58 Comments | Readers 3
Aileen Quinton, whose mother was killed in the 1987 Remembrance Sunday bombing in Enniskillen has decribed her difficulties with recent Government actions in the Belfast News Letter
By Aileen Quinton
Forgive me if I don't set off poppers in an unrestrained celebration but I do not believe that the IRA is committed to peace. Of course I will be accused of jeopardising the chances of peace. As in Peter Pan if you say that you do not believe in fairies one of them dies. So any return to terrorism will be my fault not the IRA's.
At the time of the Poppy Day Massacre, all the old clichés were trotted out about how "no stone would be left unturned to bring those responsible to justice" and of course "terrorism does not pay". If only!.
Despite the hype of the Belfast Agreement in1998, the pronouncements that IRA/Sinn Fein were committed to peace, and the proclaimed "seismic shifts " that they apparently keep having, we are still applauding them for words about not murdering.
This is Groundhog day.
Am I meant to be grateful because the IRA says that it is going to stop doing something that it had no right starting? In its statement it justifies its actions. So it will have no compunction in starting up again, when the concessions dry up. Our government shows no sign of stopping this flow at the moment, with moves like watchtowers in border areas being dismantled, the RIR etc. This is not based on an assessment of security requirements but merely because the IRA want it. We also face the prospect of an amnesty for the on-the runs. Even the Belfast Agreement did not include this abomination. Why should my mother's murder be anyone's 'free go'? There have of course been lots of other atrocities as well and not only the IRA will benefit. I draw no comfort from the thought that so called "loyalist" terrorists will have their evil written off too. This does not make the score one all. It makes it two nil to terrorism.
So the IRA are talking about stopping something that was wrong, maintaining it was right and which is entirely reversible. Our Government is intent on doing something wrong and irreversible.
If the IRA are not a threat anymore, why are we having an amnesty anyway. It can only be because of the fear that without it the IRA will continue to murder, so our government is going to pardon people that even it considers a terrorist threat.
Her Majesty's Government should be in the business of safeguarding victims' rights to justice, not making a present of it to the murderers.
I expect a lot more platitudes about the 'bigger picture', 'the common good' and "yes, this is difficult for the victims". But it is for the 'common good' that we should not allow the Criminal Justice System to be politicised, especially not at the behest of the criminals. Justice is one of the fundamental building blocks of a peaceful and decent society and the latter cannot be bought by giving away the former. That is like selling the television to pay for the licence. As for it being "difficult", "difficult" does not matter, We have been doing "difficult" for over 30 years, We can handle "difficult" and would be prepared to do "difficult" for real peace, glad to in fact . This is wrong and it should be impossible.
Some will dismiss my opinions as "coloured by her grief". Well the IRA broke my heart but my intellect and my values are intact. The ultimate victory for terrorism is when we give up on our values. Blair and Hain may have handed theirs over but I'll be damned if I will.

The Watchman
Good for Aileen. More truth in one article than in the rest of the pap that passes for analysis in the local media.
Ginfizz
Tremendous article. Perhaps all those Provo-sympathisers on here who have been salivating over the concessions handed over to their comrades-in-arms would now care to curtail their gloating out of respect for brave souls like Aileen Quinton.
Aileen has of course sufferred as part of the troubles – like God only knows how many thousands of others.
However that does not make her opinion particularly more insightful – or indeed in anyway constructive. In fact the article itself is even bereft of any vision as to what should have happened instead, and is built on the language of intransigence, with a move towards a normal society being seen as concessions to republicans.
But what else should have happened then? Should they IRA statement have been completely ignored? Should the security forces have continued to hunt down republicans, using loyalist paramilitaries to do so if it threatened to get too dirty? Should more towers be put up to watch over republican areas becaude in some mindsets "they can't be trusted"?
I'm sorry that Aileen and her family have sufferred, that any family has suffered. I'm also sorry that the sacrifices that a settlement will require are seen by her as platitudes. But in my opinion these sacrifices won't be as hard as the ones most of us had to make throughout the troubles.
You have to admit, the Unionist community don't have much to be optimistic about right now, given the news about the Bogota Three.
I agree that she is not alone in her suffering, but surely you can see that the sequence of events starting with the release of Sean Kelly looks dodgy outside of republican circles (pardon the pun).
I agree with you levee that it may be hadr for some people to accept some of the things that are happening – but I still don't see what the choice is.
I don't think for example that Sean Kelly is a menace to society, and his rearrest was controversial enough (a lot of people outside of unionist circles weren't too happy about that).
But the Unionist community surely have no worries – their rights are basically set in stone.
But what is the choice that we have? We have all seen (and will continue to see) things happen that we find hard to deal with but after all deaths, peace was never going to be easy (as the last 12 years have shown us)
The majority of the entire island voted for the Good Friday Agreement, it and other initiatives have got us away from the situation which created tragedies such as Eniskillen and others. The latest initiative by the IRA is a bold step, which will further strengthen peaceful and democratic progress in the 6 counties. There have been stated and reiterated expressions of regret for the victims and their families….With the greatest of sympathy to Aileen, no community has a monopoly on grief, perhaps its time to move on.
Dessertspoon
It's hard not to feel sympathy and sadness for those who have suffered so much but we can't allow it to hold us back. There comes a point in all grieving where you have to let it go and move on. I think we (everyone in NI) are at the point and I know that must be hard for people like Aileen to take. WHat is happening now is not a personal attack or insult it's just what has to be done.
A good well-written letter.
Presumably you adopt a similar attitude with the Bloody Sunday relaives or Geraldine Finucane?
I think thats the actual point Ginfizz – that no matter how distasteful you may personally find it, certain things will have to be swallowed.
I don't think the Bloody Sunday relatives actually expect anybody to be jailed.
Its not about one side getting one up on the other – we're not kids in a classroom vying for the teachers attention – its about sorting out our past and learning to live with it.
Oh right. Lets set up a Truth and Reconcilliation Commission whereby innocent people like Aileen Quinton will be lumped into the same category of "victim" as those who killed her mother.
I'm sorry but you ask far too much. There are victims and there are terrorists. Terrorists are criminals and murderers. Victims are victims and innocent.
Ginfizz,
I suppose the difference between where we are with the Bloody Sunday massacre and with the Enniskillen massacre is that the former isn't yet "formally" accepted as a massacre while the latter is.
When that point is reached and both sets of relatives at least have the small solace of knowing that everyone accepts their loved ones were innocents who were senslessly butchered, then I suppose we can move on together.
Yes GinnFizz I do but I know there are others that don't agree just as Aileen doesn't agree with what is happening right now.
You are splitting hairs. The aim of republicans who argue "we are all victims" is simply to debase and minimise the suffering of the innocent people who suffered at their hands and reduce them to the level of the murderers themselves. There is a heirarchy of victimhood – Marie Wilson was a victim, Thomas Begley was not.
I'm trying to get my head round something that appeared in last Sunday's Observer. Apparently the latest deal includes a Victim's Commissioner who will;
"Help heal the wounds of three decades of bloodshed" (brave soul)…."Sinn Fein is understood to have given assurances of fresh co-operation to identify…unmarked graves, allowing…families to lay (their missing loved ones) to rest….Hain said this plan would draw on experience in South Africa, where a Truth and Reconciliation Commission collected testimony from victims and confessions from perpetrators, who were granted amnesty from prosecution….However, it would be impossible to copy the South African idea exactly because the Northern Irish community was divided in a totally different way, he added…Nevertheless, the plans would involve directly confronting a painful past: 'We will be looking at processes by which people can get at the truth and have some acknowledgement for their pain and suffering.'"
Has anyone any more details and does anyone know what aspect of the SA process is not possible in NI?
Ginnfizz
Quite frankly the guilty Boer can bugger off back to South Africa. The Unionist community will not be lectured by an ANC supporting Troops Out Movement degenerate on how to conduct itself.
ok then. glad I gave you the chance to get that off your chest. Unusual to call someone a Boer and criticize them for being an ANC supporter at the same time.
For once I have to agree with Watchman here.
A genuine article from the heart . Blair and Hain dont have moral values regards the citizens (pawns) of Northern ireland. its just a game of political chess to them.
BogExile
'certain things will have to be swallowed'
And certain things will have to be admitted like the total lack of moral equivalency between people being blown up commerating the dead of two world wars and 'volunteers' who happened to be killed by their own bombs or in the act of taking someone else's life.
I am not splitting hairs and I am sad that you think I am and this has nothing to do with republicans, this has to do with you bringing up Bloody Sunday.
I will try and make the point clearer in case there is a misunderstanding.
Could you imagine the extra hurt Aileen Quilton would feel if, for example, the BBC, as a matter of policy, only ever said her mother was killed and refused to call it a massacre, implying that somehow she may have carried some responsibility for her own murder?
I know I would be more than a little upset if somebody told me to stop "splitting hairs" for getting upset about that.
I would also be more than a little upset if then Thomas Begley was brought up in the next sentence.
Ginfizz:
So what is your suggestion on how we should continue? Its very easy for almost everyone in the north to sit around, bitter and unforgiving because of what "they" did and the fact that "they" never really faced justice – but whats the use in that?
And regarding Boers and unionists – I'm suprised you're not aware of their cosey past (and then to through in the ANC for good measure… the mind boggles)
Makes sense now. It's "guilty Boer" as in "middle class self-hating Boer". Bit thick – sorry.
So Hain is working off his self-loathing at the crimes of his Boer people against the native population of RSA by seeking to undue what he chooses to interpret as the parallel oppression of the native Irish people by protestant colonists?
In reading some of the comments on this thread, I have come to the conclusion that i have missed something?
"The latest initiative by the IRA is a bold step, which will further strengthen peaceful and democratic progress in the 6 counties."
Does this mean they are no longer going to murder people or destroy local business? for a while anyway, time will tell.
Bringing down watch towers and disbanding regiments which are no longer required means only one thing….SF/IRA are out of business i.e. they lost the war.
On top of that in order to get into government they must first please the DUP.
Republicans are making a fair attempt to make the situation look as if the they have won something when in fact they have lost everything this is why they are surrendering their weapons , The so called united Ireland which of course the republicans will say is inedvitable, they would , wouldn't they? will not be seen in our life time.
The sooner Republicans get over the fact that they have lost the War the better for all concerned
undue? undo. really thick

"The sooner Republicans get over the fact that they have lost the War the better for all concerned."
Who won the war then?
Aileen Quinton's article was superb. I'm afraid this government regards the vast majority of victims of republican and loyalist murder gangs as an embarassment, and just wishes they would go away.
"With the greatest of sympathy to Aileen, no community has a monopoly on grief,"
which she herself acknowledges in
"There have of course been lots of other atrocities as well and not only the IRA will benefit. I draw no comfort from the thought that so called "loyalist" terrorists will have their evil written off too. This does not make the score one all. It makes it two nil to terrorism."

This certainly ain't part of Groundhog Day.
No Bertie, its all you FOTU girls together day.
"I draw no comfort from the thought that so called "loyalist" terrorists will have their evil written off too. This does not make the score one all. It makes it two nil to terrorism."
So at least one person is not buying the 'you've got your paramilitaries, just like us' line.
Dave I'm perfectly happy if you consider that the IRA initiative suggests as you put it "SF/IRA are out of business i.e. they lost the war."…..Its a pity then that the current degree of angst, whinging, and discomfiture from across all the varied hues of unionism suggests otherwise? But perhaps thats just how unionists show their happy…."all together now hip hip BOO! hip hip BOO!" :))
The unionist reacion to the ethnic cleansing in north antrim is the real problem in the road ahead for peace.look at history-loyalists are responsible for 90% of all sectarian attacks
This win/lose situation is a load of rubbish.
I think we've all lost. The fact that we've discriminated against, insulted, kicked, punched, shot, bombed eache other over years makes it clear that we're all serious losers, with a chance to win now.
But if some insist on going on about winners and losers, as a fella said the other day "the IRA have lost but are too clever to admit it. The unionist have won but are too stupid to see it".
Circles, glib aphorisms such as the one you quote are undoubtedly appealing, but unfortunately are rarely accurate. For example, before the recent IRA announcement, a version I which was equally commonly heard amongst loyalist cynics was, "We lost but are too proud to admit it,but the taigs won but are too stupid to see it, "
These aphorisms are usually employed by either disenchanted Republicans or disenchanted loyalists…take your pick.
Well I think it was a unionist that said it.
In any case its 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.
The win / lose thing was actually in reference to Dave's post from 06:51 08.08.05
2 questions for SF:
Have the IRA succeeded in achieving a United Ireland?
Has the assertion that only violence will work been proven correct?
No and no again.
2 questions for Unionists:
Is the Union intact?
Can you have local government at Stormont back with Unionist interests represented there by a single large party?
Yes, yes and yes.
2 questions for you.
Now that Unionists have finally won the troubles and we are all heading back to where we left off at the summer of love in 1968, with Stormont imminently back up and running.
Will the Beatles be releasing an LP of new stuff?
actually, if it helps, WE won.
by WE I mean ie people who neither want to live in a loyalist apartheid state with a disenfranchised catholic underclass, or be driven into a hostile marxist republic (and that was the aim until fairly recently) at the point of a gun.
Glib aphorism #3. The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend (Lincoln). Institutionalised conflict through particpative democracy in this case counts as making friends.
participative
must get new teeth
FAO Biffo
The British, of course!!
Which war?
The war for a 32 county socialist republic which the IRA lost and the Unionists won.
Or the war to wring endless concessions from the British which the IRA won and Unionists lost.
I think, for unionists, the answer to the question will always depend on what mood they are in at any particular time; either triumphant and victorious or full of self-pity.
The IRA neither win nor lost the war. I'm just happy enough living in a place where I have civil rights. Sounds a bit silly maybe, but that's how I feel.
You can debate all you like as to who won and put whatever slant you wish, thing is, SF/IRA lost on all counts.
SF/IRA will not be in a position to ditate by force of arms, they must go down the democratic road where they will be met by the voters and not the Army.
I don't here their guns firing or their bombs exploding that is not because they got what they wanted (a United Ireland) it is because they lost.
I'm not putting any slant on anything. My comments reflect the nonsense I'm hearing from various sources.
You sound like you subscribe to the loyalist interpretation I saw on a mural on the Shankill – "We accept the full and abject surrender of the IRA"
It's your interpretation and if it makes you happy to think your enemy "lost" – I'm happy for you…and I expect I'll hear a lot of different versions.
Indeed, if you repeat something often enough it makes it true.
Not sorry for double posts!
Here is a little bit of light reading for you:
Ruth Dudley Edwards • 13.12.03
There wasn't much to laugh at in this plodding compilation of lies, damned lies, and clichés, but one scene briefly lifted my gloom. It was March 1998, the negotiations that would culminate the following month in the Good Friday Agreement were intensifying, and, like several other Irish politicians, Gerry Adams was in Washington for St. Patrick's Day. President Clinton, explains Adams, who is a master of the euphemism, "was going through a difficult time in his personal life and looked a little drawn," yet somehow he found the time and energy to have a meeting with Adams in the Oval Office. "While most of our discussions were about Ireland," says Adams, "I also raised the Middle East situation with him, as well as the question of Cuba and the huge problems suffered by Third World countries crippled by debt. I urged him to cancel Third World debt and I asked him to use his influence to get other countries to do the same." So there we have the Leader of the Free World – in trouble for fibbing – sitting in his own office being unctuously lectured on foreign policy by a terrorist and mass murderer who lies for the planet.
The effrontery of Adams's lies is truly breathtaking. In this book, just as in his first volume of autobiography, he insists he was never in the Irish Republican Army (IRA), an organization he claims is completely separate from Sinn Fein, the political party of which he is president. Yet the truth is that for more than 30 years, Adams has been a senior figure in the IRA. In 1972, it was Adams who was in charge in Belfast on what became known as Bloody Friday, when 20 bombs killed nine people and injured 130. It was on Adams's watch that Jean McConville, a Protestant widow of a Catholic man and a mother of ten, was kidnapped, tortured and murdered..
In his decades on the seven-man IRA Army Council, Adams has authorized bombings and shootings that have killed around 1,700 people and have maimed and desolated tens of thousands more. In this grisly business his closest IRA colleagues have been Martin McGuinness and Pat Doherty, both of whom, like Adams, run Sinn Fein as well as the IRA and are non-attending members of the British House of Commons. When the Sinn Fein leadership announces it is off to consult the IRA leadership, it is largely talking to itself.
"I'm telling the story of the Irish peace process," says Adams. "I can only tell my experience of it, my role in it. It is not my business to offer an objective account of events or see through someone else's eyes. My intention is to tell a story. It is my story. My truth. My reality." Well, it certainly isn't any normal person's reality. Quite apart from the glaring lies, there are his grotesque distortions of Irish history.
Ireland has two tribes, whose main distinguishing feature is religion. When the ruling British government partitioned the island in 1921, the largely Roman Catholic 26 counties became a confessional state. Protestants were perceived by violent republicans as British and disloyal; those not murdered or terrorized out of the country by the IRA saw their numbers further diminished because in religiously mixed marriages children had to be brought up Catholic. Being a tiny minority, the Protestants accepted defeat, kept their heads down and their opinions to themselves: Only now is the story of what they endured becoming well known.
The very substantial Catholic minority in the six counties that became Northern Ireland and stayed part of the United Kingdom expressed their alienation from the state by refusing to participate in the political system and by insisting on segregated education; periodically, the IRA would do some bombing and shooting. Terrified of the enemy within, Unionists resorted to gerrymandering and discrimination to maintain power. What developed was what David Trimble – the most intelligent and articulate Unionist politician since partition and, unlike Adams, a good man – described in the speech in which he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize as "a cold house for Catholics."
In 1968, civil rights marches began in Northern Ireland; tribal violence followed, and the IRA came into its own. By 1972, after the British government had become reluctantly involved, all legitimate minority demands were met, but the IRA continued a terrorist campaign to force Ulster Protestants into a united socialist Ireland, while their loyalist counterparts murdered Catholics in order to keep Northern Ireland British.
The IRA campaign failed dramatically: These days, most people in the Republic of Ireland as well as in Northern Ireland want to keep the island partitioned. You will not learn this from Gerry Adams's book, since – in his reality – all this mayhem has been a struggle for justice and equality. (Since he wants to sell this book in the U.S., socialism doesn't get mentioned.) You also will not learn that Sinn Fein, the richest political party in Ireland, is largely financed by IRA racketeering and has friendly links with terrorists in many parts of the world.
Throughout this terrible period, the British and Irish governments and most people on the island longed for the peace both sets of paramilitaries denied them. Then, in the late 1980s, Sinn Fein/IRA realized they were defeated and decided to pretend they had won and seek the best deal possible. Adams's work of propaganda describes in mind-numbing detail and with an ungenerous spirit the meetings and démarches and telephone calls and visits and papers and arguments and setbacks of the peace process.
Much as I despise Adams for his cruelty, dishonesty, and hypocrisy, there is no doubt that he and his allies deserve some credit for eventually grasping that their squalid, sectarian war was getting nowhere. Nor can one doubt their energy, commitment, and cunning over the past several years as they fought their corner; they are ruthless and brilliant negotiators. Overall, however, theirs is a terrible legacy. Operating like Stalinists, they taught generations of children to hate their neighbors and have caused dreadful suffering to their own community as well as to those they see as the enemy. Even now, as Adams is fêted abroad as a peacemaker by idiots like Martin Sheen and cynics like the Clintons, back home republicans challenging his line are intimidated, beaten, and sometimes murdered.
On top of all that, this nauseating man has reinvented himself as a charismatic, philosophical, politically correct tree-hugger: "Dialogue happens every day in all our lives," he tells us. "Equality is good for everybody." He also passes himself off as a writer. Well, when I got to page 271, from sheer boredom I counted the clichés and on that solitary page netted these: "Unionist hackles were raised"; "No easy task"; "We had an ace up our sleeves"; "the slippery slope"; "the Sinn Fein organization was at full stretch"; and "we had to go for it." Anyone who encourages this man to write should be ashamed of himself.
A Farther Shore: Ireland's Long Road to Peace by Gerry Adams. (Random House, 448 pp., $25.95)
Thanks for going to the trouble. But you are quoting Ruth Dudley Edwards. She writes such extemely stupid, bigoted, one sided nonsense and the only reason I can figure out why does it is that she enjoys the small degree of notoriety it has given her down south, and letter back to the papers.
About Trimble, my brother-in-law remembers the paramilitary Vanguard organisation he belonged to marching through his street in North Belfast intimidating the locals. Dudley Edwards talks about him as if he was a pet labrador for goodness sake. No rational personal could take that kind of propaganda seriously.
This would be like me quoting the definitive opinion of Gerry Adams to prove that republicans were right all along.
I don't care who feels they've won or lost. I don't think anybody comes out of this looking good.
Biffo:
I understand that "The Slightly Off-White Album" is nearing completion. It will be released by a group entitled "The Beat" as unfortunately half the original band are no longer with us (although I understand that if the video of Live 8 is watched having consumed a large amount of certain fungi, the entire original Beatles can be seen performing live onstage.)
Biffo,
Hume, Fitzgerald, Alderdice, liberal teachers, most clergy, education integrators, Gordon Wilson, Colin and Wendy Parry, nationalists who spurned SF while the violence continued (although they had a legitimate hope for their country to be reunited), most police, most army, most prison officers…tens of thousands of others who stayed decent despite personal loss or risk. And for that matter many in the Irish government, defence forces and gardai who saw PIRA for the red fascist organisation it was. In short anyone who works for pluralism and democracy against when sectarianism and majoritarianism were (and are) the default position.
I think they look good.
I'm still for a truth commission by the way. Who cares if SF trots out IRA volunteers as victims? There will already be a shooting report on them anyway. It will also justify inclusion of security force members and the output from the commission if competently presented will show the balance. I'd rather have that as the definitive history than the whinging and propaganda of the Unionists and SF.
I would have liked to see some kind of a truth commission set up originally as some part of a peace agreement. As far as I can remember both republicans and unionist opposed such an idea. I wonder why?
Rightfully something like that should have been done.
But the problem is how do you get the truth out of people who don't particularly want it to be known, especially when it undermines their current posturing.
No Bertie, its all you FOTU girls together day. "
G2, for a while there, I thought that love and peace had broken out on Slugger, but it was not to be. Considering your (often surreal) antipathy towards members of FOTU who are anti-agreement, and particularly towards "The Watchman", (to which I had decided I was not going to respond to in future), I felt moved to comment on your fulsome support of Watchman's support of an article by another anti-agreement FOTU member. Unlike the reactions to the IRA statement, I think few could have seen this coming! A brief moment of unionist unity!
Unless it is just a bizarre coincidence and I am being far too parochial, your response alludes to Ken Maginnis's attack on Kate Hoey for her "interference" in support of Arlene Foster in the last election, (both of these ladies being part of the FOTU network), where he was very scathing of "all girls together". Apart from the fact that he did not seem to have a problem with Kate's "interference" when she was part of the "Yes" campaign, it was appallingly sexist. There are woman capable of being effective political operators and there are men who are capable of coping with and indeed appreciating that. This was not Ken Maginnis's finest hour.

I dispair of the attitude of people on this island, we cannot see the difference in the murder of innocents and the death of terrorists. Have we fallen so low? Do we even understand the difference between right and wrong anymore. Aileen has taken a heart rending journey in writing the article which started this debate, she has poured out her soul in the media, always a brave thing to do at the best of times, a very courageous thing to do in these times. What is she told?, put it behind you and move on, it's the price of peace, she doesn't have a monoply on grief(A bland provo statement, that is trotted out at every oppertunity to excuse there evilness). I can only assume that those who write this crap have never grieved. Only those who grieve for the loss of someone who went out to remember the dead of another time, and were blown to pieces by cowardly murderers could ever understand. Her mother went out, on a quiet Sunday morning to pay tribute to the dead of two world wars, Catholic, Protestant, citezens of the Irish Republic and the United Kingdom, for this she along with many others paid with her life. People here seem to have trouble comprehending the magnitude of this event. I can understand why she is not celebrating along with the rest of you the latest momentous anouncement by the provos on their ceasefire. Great article Aileen, don't let those who criticise your stance get you down.


Recently in a discussion there was a beautiful song rendered by an artist urging people to save trees. Most of the appreciation from adults in the audience focused on the voice of the singer and the content was lost to despair.
to make children plant them at their homes. As a true personal experience rather than part of some big campaign in a big open ground.
I did the same with my children at home and now when the plant grew right in front of them, the sense of life in the plant has set in with real meaning. The boundless joy i see in their face as the seed grew into a plant and tree. I think they are true believers today.
Adults in the political green awareness campaigns do it mainly as propaganda rather than self belief because their age many times don't suit the sensuality with which you should approach this topic. Childhood is perhaps the best stage.
Once you feel it with your heart, it stays forever. Also it develops the sense of gratitude for the food we eat rather than thinking of it as a commodity bought for few rupees or dollars. Good for health and overall well-being.
Speaking of food and gratitude, iam reminded of the chapter from one of my all-time favorite books "The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran".
And let your board stand an altar on which the pure and the innocent of forest and plain are sacrificed for that which is purer and still more innocent in many.
"By the same power that slays you, I to am slain; and I too shall be consumed.

\section{Introduction}
The verification process is a major process in the development of airborne software. Its purpose is to detect and report errors
that may have been introduced during the development. It is typically a combination of reviews, analyses and test.
The means used to satisfy the verification objectives have to be checked as being technically correct and
 complete for the software level\cite{DO178B}.
Testing is assigned two complementary objectives\cite{DO178B}:
\begin{itemize}
\item One objective is to demonstrate that the software satisfies its requirements.
\item The second one is to demonstrate with a high degree of confidence that errors which could lead to unacceptable failure conditions,
as determined by the system safety assessment process, have been removed.
\end{itemize}

Currently, tests of software are performed on dedicated hardware means: execution platforms, analyzers, integration benches. The limitations incurred while using such dedicated means
are known since a while: cost, obsolescence, lacking of debug capability, intrusive test technique,
 lacking of observability. The latter two are noticeably more acute when dealing with the tests of dependability-related properties.
Such tests require specific conditionings of the state of the hardware means and/or some specific software context settings.
This is not always technically achievable, nor practically affordable in a non intrusive manner.

The use of a fully virtual platform is an alternative approach able to yield effective solutions to those limitations,
provided it can take into account the requirements assigned to the test means of airborne software.

\section{SIMUGENE: A test-focused virtual framework}
\subsection{Technology overview}
The SIMUGENE virtualization framework has been setup to address the needs of airborne software.
It is not a simulator, it is a simulator generator. It is equipped with a full modelling and development environment, systemDDK,
whose generator produces automatically upto eighty percent of the code (C++) of a simulator.
For the processor model, it uses a bit-accurate instruction set simulator (ISS): a SIMUGENE simulator runs unmodified binary code.
The interpretation technique has been retained for the ISS. There is no use of dynamic translation from the target binary towards a host binary.
All the ISS are provided in an external library.

The operational schema to develop -and later run- a virtual platform using the SIMUGENE framework is as depicted below:\\

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=2.0in]{simugene-operational-schema}
\caption{SIMUGENE operational schema.}
\label{fig:SIMUGENE operational schema}
\end{figure}

All the phases of this schema (modelling, development, verification, validation) as well as the technical choices are mastered
in order to ensure the conformance (as a test means) and the representativity (scope, limit of use) of each virtual platform.

\section{Scope of use in the software verification process}
\textbf{Test types coverage.}

A virtual platform may cover a large perimeter of tests:
\begin{itemize}
\item Low level testing: To verify the implementation of software low-level requirements into unit components.
\item Software integration testing: To verify the interrelationships between software components;
to verify the implementation of the software components within the software architecture.
\item Hardware/Software integration testing: To verify correct interfacing and control of the hardware by the software.
\item Final integration testing: To verify correct operation of the whole software in the final target computer environment.
\end{itemize}

The final hardware / software integration tests must be performed using the real hardware.  These are mainly performance tests and hardware control tests.
The targeted test framework is an optimized combination of virtual platform and real hardware computer
(e.g. ninety percent on virtual platform have been achieved on the early deployments).

\textbf{Virtual fault injection for robustness testing.}

Robustness testing is an integral part of the verification of an airborne software.
They can take place in any test phase and their implementation is not simple while using the current dedicated hardware platform.
E.g. How to condition the test to verify that the software behave correctly when writing into an E2PROM whose response time lasts between 3 ms and 10 ms ?
The problem here is that the response time of the currently used E2PROM component cannot be changed.
Commonly a dedicated piece of software is added to inject controlled faults but it is an intrusive technique for the software under test.
\vfill\break

Within a virtual platform, each component can be extended to embed its faulty behaviors and any transaction within the platform can be altered by a faulty behavior from its environment.
These internal and external faults are controlled in the same way within a SIMUGENE simulator (start, stop, frequence, type) and they can be combined as required.
This virtual fault injection technique is non intrusive for the software under test and it has been applied at different test types ranging from low level test upto the final integration test.

The figure below shows an overview of a virtual computer augmented with a virtual fault injection model.

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=2.0in]{simugene-full-system}
\caption{SIMUGENE full system.}
\label{fig:SIMUGENE full system}
\end{figure}

\section{Conclusion}
The introduction of virtual platforms provides effective solutions to recurring problems on the test means.
One of the most noticeable solution is the non-intrusive virtual fault injection technique which still can be largely improved.

How do you navigate the Victorian Web?
The Victorian Web ranges across the whole spectrum of British culture in the Victorian era. It also includes some eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century background, and some early twentieth-century developments. These were years of great social change, of challenges to age-old religious certainties, of scientific, technological and geographical discoveries, and of an expanding empire. Horizons widened on every side. The website therefore explores a vast diversity of historical and cultural interactions, exploring their impact on Britain and looking at how the British influenced others. Uniquely, it aims to link all this material rather than present each webpage in isolation, and provides a variety of tools for navigating it successfully.
At the top of each webpage is a trail of digital "breadcrumbs." These serve a function similar to that envisaged by Hansel in the Grimms' fairytale: to help you find your way through this wealth of material. The furthest "breadcrumb" on the left is a link to the homepage. But you may wish to try the intermediary ones before going there. The furthest right is to the section to which the current page belongs. In between are links to the wider context of your subject. For example, if you are reading about Dickens's A Christmas Carol, the breadcrumbs will look like this: [Victorian Web Home —> Authors —> Charles Dickens —> Works —> The Christmas Books]. You would probably like to try "Christmas Books" next. This will show you that there are more than twenty other discussions of A Christmas Carol, and many webpages about illustrations of it by different illustrators. Clicking on "Works" will help you find the larger context of A Christmas Carol within Dickens's output, and so on.
In the webpage itself, words that appear in blue, and lists under the heading "Related Material," are also links. Click on them to find out more about the subject under discussion. You will generally be able to click on the author's name too, in order to confirm that the webpage comes from a reliable source. Please note that some webpages in the Visual Arts sections feature tall images on the left, and information about them on the right. Here, the links are less obvious. Even when the commentary continues below the image, you need to pass your mouse over the text to see if there are any links (there usually are). Again, lists of "Related Material" on such pages are lists of links that you can click on. These take you directly to similar topics. Remember that lists on the index pages for each broad topic and sub-topic (Visual Arts, for example, or Stained Glass), are all live links.
In longer pages, typically transcripts of Victorian Web books or long articles, you will sometimes find the notes placed in a column at the left. In these cases, you need to click on the superscript numbers in the main text. When you do so, you find the appropriate note appearing at the top of the left-hand column. After reading it, press the back arrow on your keyboard to return to the main body of the chapter or article, and continue reading the main text.
In the general index on the homepage, in indexes for important subjects, and at the foot of each webpage, links are printed on the blue tiles which give the website its distinctive appearance. Again, clicking on these will allow you to find out more about the subject of your immediate interest, or its wider context. You will usually find a "Next" tile at the right, which will take you to another painting by the same artist, another building by the same architect, another item designed by the same designer, and so on.
The Victorian Web does have an efficient search facility, provided by Google. It is on the homepage, at the foot of the diamond arrangement of tiles, on the right. If you have been unable to find exactly what you are looking for, enter your search term here.
Note: The Victorian Web was established at the beginning of the computer age: you can read more about its history here (yes, please click on the link!). It has seen many other sites come and go. Our editors are continually updating and sometimes re-arranging our material as new contributions come in. Links, whether to material inside our site, or to material on other websites (which we have consulted and cited in our bibliographies), may sometimes have been broken without our realising it. Please notify the webmaster if you find such links. Happy exploring!


Costa Cruises have commissioned a Fernando Botero bronze sculpture for the Costa Luminosa, the company's newest vessel.
According to Cruise Talk Central, the sculpture is currently being crafted at the Mariani foundry in Italy.
The sculpture will be installed in the Luminosa next year, taking centre stage in the ship's atrium.
Commenting on the commission, Pier Luigi Foschi, chairman and chief executive of Costa Crociere, said: "This particular sculpture by Botero has such expressive force and energy that it will interact with and influence the setting and interior design in the spectacular atrium of the ship where it is to be permanently exhibited."
Botero's sculpture - which depicts a lone woman - weighs 910 kgs and measures over 340 cm in length.
Other ships operated by Costa Cruises – Europe's largest cruise line - include the Costa Fortuna, Costa Fortuna and Costa Romantica.


Blood Systems, Inc. is the second-largest provider of blood and blood products in the U.S.
Blood Systems, Inc. was facing extreme pricing pressures from customers and a tremendous imbalance where products were utilized versus where product was collected. The company needed to work in a more integrated fashion with its affiliates to better leverage capacity and reduce costs. They sought a strategic distribution network analysis to reduce costs while maintaining all regulatory, temperature control and time sensitivity requirements.

Looking for a Dynamic DNS, DDNS, client? Well you're in luck, the FLOSS market space is flooded with dedicated clients and various wget scripts. So why bother with an old C implementation? Well, this is admittedly one of the old timers in the game and is likely packaged for your GNU/Linux distribution of choice already. It's tried and tested with many DDNS service providers and even comes bundled in a few embedded router distributions as well.
Today I've released Inadyn v1.99.7 as an XZ compressed tarball. The release announcement should be up on free(code) now. It's a small incremental release containing mainly code cleanup and a few new features that you likely won't notice: support for multiple cache files and DDNS providers as separate plugins, for easy addition of new ones as well as maintenance of existing. This further separates the internal logic from the provider specific parts and also helps reduce clutter to ease maintenance.
This is a small incremental release building up to the long awaited v2.0, which will include the long-awaited HTTPS support and also a new .conf file format. The latter is not really welcomed with open arms by users, but is a necessary step since the current parser is heavily affected by bit rot and must be put down. I will attempt to make the transition as easy as possible, but you will need to change you .conf files.
Maybe a preview of the HTTPS support will make it into a release that still has the old .conf file format, but just maybe.


I SYMPATHISE with the delivery driver given the run-around by a customer who had not bothered to give instructions to "leave in a safe place" (Letters, November 7). On the other hand, imagine my wife's surprise to witness from our hall a parcel delivered to our blue bin that was out on the pavement awaiting emptying.
On more than one occasion a parcel has been left on our front doorstep in full view of the road and one between the front of the car and the garage door.
Firms employing drivers should factor more time for delivery.

Five Reasons for Apple to Ditch Intel's Chips
Apple could open up new opportunities by building PCs with the same chips as in iPhones and iPads
Tom Simonitearchive page
Bloomberg reports that Apple is considering a revolutionary step in the computing business: building its PCs around processor technology like that used in tablets and smartphones. It's a step that would see the company ditch the world's largest chip maker, Intel.
Apple already designs the chips for iPads and iPhones, with some help from Samsung, and has aggressively hired semiconductor designers, particularly in its Austin offices. In a statement announcing management changes two weeks ago, Apple mentioned that its semiconductor teams "have ambitious plans for the future."
Bloomberg says only the switch from Intel is being considered, not confirmed, and by dumping Intel Apple would be turning its back on what is currently the most advanced chip technology on the market. But it seems plausible that someone inside Apple is at least experimenting with ARM-based chips, in the same way that Apple's shift to Intel apparently began as a lone engineer's side project. Such research is unlikely to be made public, but there are plausible reasons for Apple to make the switch. Here are five:
1. It could save money. Intel chips are expensive, reflecting the fact that they're made with much more advanced technology than its competitors. If Apple could create ARM-based chips that perform well enough, they would likely be significantly cheaper than buying them from Intel.
2. Microsoft has shown that ARM chips can support a full operating system. The Surface tablet has an ARM processor and runs a special version of Windows dubbed RT. It can only run certain Windows applications, but shows that Microsoft considers ARM chips to be useful to PCs.
3. ARM wants its chips to be viable for PCs, too. The company recently launched the first of its designs that are 64 bit, something that boosts power and allows them to support more memory. ARM chips are already appearing in servers, too, in further validation that they're becoming ready for more than just mobile devices.
4. Technology exists that can run apps for Intel chips on ARM chips. Apple would need such software so that existing software could us used on ARM-powered Macs. A Russian startup already makes it with server applications in mind, Apple could make its own or buy up the technology.
5. It would make it easier for Apple to bring innovations from the iPhone and iPad to PCs. The last few upgrades to Apple's desktop operating system have seen features introduced borrowed from or inspired by its mobile software. If all Apple's products run on the same, ARM-based, chips, such cross fertilization will become much easier.

The Reason I Do It
While I may have been a very shy kid, it didn't mean I was too shy to emulate my favourite sports commentators (especially AFL) within the confines of the family home. Many a day would be spent outside kicking the footy by myself, memorising the scores of the game I was replaying and providing my own commentary to it. But alas, my shyness kept it to a far-fetched dream.
When my confidence in front of people grew in my late teens, I felt that I should pursue this dream and make it a reality. 10 years on from my first gig as part of the Victorian Amateur Football Association A & B Grade Grand Finals in 2009 with Melbourne-based community station 96.5 Inner FM, I have since had the honour and privilege of meeting, being mentored by, and working with, some of the best TV, radio and voice over personalities in the industry.
But as a wonderful mentor once told me, "When you get asked what it is like to be at the top, respond with 'I'll tell you when I get there'." So my journey is still ongoing, and anything I can do to help promote your brand will help form a special part of my journey.
Check out some of my work on the right!
Not every TV, radio or voice over personality has to be an established celebrity or someone who has played their chosen sport at the highest level. As long as the passion, dedication and emotion are brought into the presentation, the audience will feel it and be drawn to it.
I take the utmost pride in everything I do, and give you professionalism mixed with variety. I entertain you, I inform you, and most importantly I give you reasons to stay tuned.
Take a look at some of my work below and see how I stack up against the tried and true! If you feel I've got what you're after, reach out to me and let me know how my talents can help your brand!

Q: Which value pass to std::locale? How can I check, which value should I pass to std::locale? I wrote simple program:
#include <cstdio>
#include <locale>
#include <stdexcept>

int main()
{
   try
   {
      std::locale("plk_pol");
   }
   catch(std::runtime_error)
   {
      printf("Can't load locale.\n");
      return 1;
   }

   return 0;
}

But it gives me error message. That's strange, because std::setlocale(LC_ALL, 'plk_pol'); works. I tried other values, like pl_PL, polish_poland - behaviour is the same. Even en_US.utf8 gives error. The only locale I was able to set is C.
I have Windows 7 with Polish localisation set. The question is: where can I check, which locales are acceptable in my system?

10 Oldest Geological Features On Earth
by Jana Louise Smit
The oldest parts of Earth testify to a living world that has been moving and taking shape for eons. Whenever another is discovered, they bring with them new surprises, often confirm theories, or confuse scientists completely. But even the ones that are just the most ancient of their kind and not much else can invoke awe because of their sheer age.
10Most Ancient Surface
1.8 Million Years

In Israel, an expanse of desert looks the same way it did almost two million years ago. This desert pavement confirmed scientific suspicions that should an area remain dry and extremely flat, and suffer little to no weather or geological activity, then its entire face can stay preserved for millions of years.
This incredible—and touchable—piece of antiquity is not the oldest geological wonder, but it can win the prize for being one of the most mesmerizing. A person can just stand there and stare forever (although, considering it's in a hot desert, that is probably not a healthy move). When it comes to age, this vast gritty stretch far outstrips other desert pavements. Next in line and about four times younger is a similar patch in Nevada.
9Oldest Ice
15 Million Years

At first glance, the Dry Valleys of Antarctica appear to be ice-free. Their eerie Martian landscapes are scattered with barren rocks and a blanket of dust. But underneath all that otherworldliness sleeps a part of the continent that had been permanently frozen for about 15 million years.
The oldest ice on the planet is at the center of a mystery. For a long time, the Valleys remained stable and unchanged, but in recent years, they started to thaw. For reasons not quite clear, Garwood Valley is receiving unusually hot weather. One of its glaciers, an Ice Age relic at least 7,000 years old, has already lost massive amounts of ice, and it shows no signs of stopping. Researchers still struggle to pinpoint exactly why more sunlight is now reaching Garwood Valley.

The Namib desert in Africa is officially the world's oldest heap of sand. Its walking dunes are home to mysterious fairy circles and another oldie, the Welwitschia plant, some of which are 2,500 years old. The desert completely lacks surface water and has been dry for 55 million years. However, its origins reach back to the continental split of West Gondwana that happened up to 145 million years ago.
The long-standing hostile environment forced unique animals to evolve. To avoid water loss, the Gemsbok stops sweating despite the heat. Specialized blood vessels allow the antelope to live in temperatures that will cause brain damage in other species. The desert's sun-lazy menagerie holds mostly reptiles and rodents, but the rich collection of beetles is what the Namib is famous for. It also contains the world's highest sand dunes.
7Oceanic Crust
340 Million Years
The Indian and Atlantic Oceans weren't the first. A primeval ocean called Tethys once covered the Mediterranean—and incredibly, a possible remnant has been found.
Very seldom can seafloor crust can be dated above 200 million years because the Earth constantly reforms, consumes, and pushes up new surfaces. A portion in the Mediterranean Sea escaped the normal geological recycling and, when scanned, pinged back its record-breaking age. The ocean floor can magnetically record its own growth rate by absorbing the shifts in the planet's magnetic field. When researchers examined eastern Mediterranean time stamps, rocks in the Herodotus Basin matched magnetic alignments of 340 million years ago. If this is indeed a piece of Tethys, it's the first evidence that the ancient sea existed earlier than first thought.
6Reefs Created By Animals

The oldest reef is not just a coral twig or two. It is a massive network spanning 7 kilometers (4.3 mi)—and it is in Africa. The first creatures to have skeletons, Cloudina, are the suspected master builders behind this natural wonder in Namibia. The rod-resembling animals produced their own cement from calcium carbonate, just like modern corals, and used it to adhere to each other.
While little is known about them, it's likely the critters clustered together for safety reasons—Cloudina fossils from China bear the damage of what appears to be an acid attack from a predator. Living in stationary stacks also meant that currents brought nutrients to the filter feeders. In an increasingly competitive environment for food and space, this allowed them a distinct advantage.
5Mount Roraima
2 Billion Years

Three countries border this rock. Hugged by Guyana and Brazil, the majority of this mammoth mountain falls in Venezuelan territory. The haunting view offered by its vast flat summit is a major tourist attraction, and when rainfall gets heavy, water flows off the plateau. The result is story-book beautiful; waterfalls are born out of nowhere. The sight of it so inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that he wrote his famous classic The Lost World.
First brought to the West's attention in 1596 by Sir Walter Raleigh while traveling Guyana in search of the mythical city of El Dorado, Mount Roraima is listed among the most ancient formations in the world.
4Oldest Water
2.64 Billion Years
Photo credit: B. Sherwood Lollar et al.
Two miles down a Canadian mine sits what used to be a prehistoric ocean floor. There, scientists tested a water pocket and were shocked when it proved to be the oldest H2O still on the planet. It even predates the development of multicellular life .
It's not uncommon for water to flow into cracks and get trapped there for a long time. However, the researchers who pulled the Canadian sample were expecting a normal age range of millions, not billions. An exciting factor is that ancient water is usually packed with the chemicals needed to support life. Indeed, microbes were discovered bobbing happily in a South African water pocket millions of years old. Should the oldest water have microbial residents too (it's still being tested), the science community is hopeful that life can also be found in similar conditions on Mars.
3Impact Crater

A killer meteorite might've gauged a sizable chunk out of Greenland. If proven as such, it will kick aside the current champion, the 2 billion-year-old Vredefort crater in South Africa. Originally measuring up to 500 kilometers (300 mi) across, it will also own the record as the biggest slammer.
The evidence of an impact is strong. Within the boundary of the collision, rocks are shattered, and K-feltspar was found. Since the mineral was melted, it points to a searing heat event such as a meteorite strike. There is also ample proof that sea water rushed into the fresh crater, got boiled, and altered the chemistry of the surroundings. Should a similar whopper hit Earth today, the human race would face an extinction event.
2Plate Tectonics
3.8 Billion Years
Photo credit: U.S. Geological Survey
The Earth's outer layer consists of several plates locking together like puzzle pieces. Their movements shape the world and are known as plate tectonics. Greenland earns a second mention on this list as its southwestern coast holds something historic.
Previous research tagged the earliest date for this phenomenon as 2.5 billion years ago. But a scientific team scouting for primordial signs of life among pillow lavas stumbled upon something that pushed the number back by a near cool billion. They determined that the pillow lavas and basalt sheets inside them were born when an early seafloor expanded like a growing circle. These remarkably preserved rocks represent the earliest physical evidence of the Earth shaping itself.
1The Original Earth
Scientists believe they have a piece of the original Earth. Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic has volcanic rocks that, incredibly, formed even before the world created its own crust. As time went by, they managed to avoid the geological recycling process which was especially violent in the beginning. This discovery might finally reveal what occurred within the globe as it was gearing up to become more solid on the outside.
A never before seen trio was also detected in the Baffin Island material—lead, neodymium, and the highly rare helium-3. There is a reason why this mix is causing great excitement in the scientific community. Together, it is the long-missing fingerprint of the stuff all continents, mountains, and surfaces originally sprang from.

Statement on Utah Supreme Court's Unanimous Ruling in Pinder v. State
SALT LAKE CITY July 21, 2015 – The Utah Attorney General's Office today issued a statement on the Utah Supreme Court's decision to unanimously reject John Pinder's appeal in Pinder v. State.
"This case demonstrates our office's firm commitment to ensuring justice is served in Utah criminal cases, to upholding valid convictions on appeal, and to protecting the rights of victims and their families," said Attorney General Sean Reyes.
In 1998, John Pinder and Filomeno Ruiz callously murdered June Flood and Rex Tanner on Pinder's ranch in Duchesne, Utah, after which Pinder disposed of the bodies with dynamite. Ruiz later pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and testified against Pinder. After a jury convicted Pinder of two counts of aggravated murder, a judge sentenced him to life in prison. In 2005, the Utah Supreme Court affirmed Pinder's convictions on appeal.
In 2006, Pinder again challenged his convictions in the Fourth District Court. After the district court denied relief, Pinder again appealed.
In a unanimous ruling today, the Utah Supreme Court rejected Pinder's appeal. In doing so, the court rejected all of Pinder's arguments. Among others, Pinder argued that he had newly discovered evidence in the form of testimony from several prison inmates who claimed Ruiz had told them that Ruiz and someone else committed the murders. But the Utah Supreme Court agreed with the district court that all of Pinder's witnesses were "seriously wanting in credibility." The court also agreed that some of these witnesses' claims were "inconsistent with absolutely established, known undisputed facts," and that one of the witnesses in particular was a "bamboozler and professional scam artist" whose testimony could not be trusted.
Attorney General Reyes thanks Assistant Attorneys General Brett DelPorto and Ryan Tenney, who represented the State during the post-conviction proceedings and on the appeal from the dismissal of the post-conviction petition. Attorney General Reyes also thanks former Assistant Attorneys General Creighton Horton and Mike Wims for their excellent work while representing the State during the original trial.
