At least 13 journalists are among scores of people arrested in their homes or offices since the disputed Iranian Presidential election on 12 June. The whereabouts of most are unknown, although those detained in Tehran are likely to be held in Evin Prison. All are feared to be at risk of torture or other ill-treatment.
Mahsa Amrabad, a journalist for the Etemad-e Melli newspaper, (founded by presidential candidate Mehdi Karroubi), Abdolreza Tajik, editor of the weekly magazine Farhikhtegan and Keyvan Samimi Behbehani, editor of the banned Nameh magazine were all arrested on 14 June.
Mojtaba Pourmohsen, editor of the newspaper Gilan-e Emrooz, from the northern city of Rasht, was arrested on 15 June. Fariborz Soroush, a freelance journalist who has given interviews to the Prague-based Radio Farda, was reported to have been arrested on 16 June. Saeed Laylaz, a journalist who writes for Sarmayeh, was arrested on 17 June, and on the same day, Rouhollah Shahsavar was reported to have been arrested in Mashhad, Iran's second city.
The editor of Etamed-e Melli, Mohammad Ghouchani, was arrested on 18 June at his home. This was followed on 20 June by the arrest of Zhila Bani Ya'qoub, member of the One Million Signatures Campaign and the editor of the website of the Iranian Women's Association who has written for many reformist newspapers. Her husband, freelance journalist Bahman Ahmadi Amou'i, was also arrested. Mostafa Qavanloo Qajar, a journalist for the monthly magazine Sepideh Danaei and Radio Goftogoo was reportedly arrested on 22 June.
Journalists reporting for foreign news outlets have also been arrested: Maziar Bahari, a dual Canadian-Iranian who reported for Newsweek from Iran, was arrested on 21 June. On 23 June, the authorities announced that a Greek national who reports for the Washington Times, believed to be Iason Athanasiadis-Fowdenhad been arrested when trying to leave the country the previous week, possibly on 19 June. Amnesty International believes that all these journalists are prisoners of conscience, detained solely for the peaceful exercise of their right to expression of expression, including the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas, either orally, in writing or in print.
Since the announcement on 13 June that President Ahmadinejad had won the presidential election, which hundreds of thousands of Iranians dispute, the Iranian authorities have imposed draconian restrictions on freedom of expression. Access to the internet has been blocked or significantly interrupted. Iranian publications have been banned from publishing information about the unrest. Foreign news journalists have been banned from the streets, and some foreign reporters have been expelled from the country.
Scores of people are reported to have been arrested across the country, including prominent political figures close to Mir Hossein Mousavi, Mehdi Karroubi and former President Khatami who supported Mir Hossein Mousavi's campaign and some human rights defenders. Other journalists who are also members of political parties or who campaigned on behalf of presidential candidates have also been detained. On 24 June, 70 academics who had met Mir Hossein Mousavi that day were arrested as they left his office. All but four were released later. Those still detained include Dr Ghorban Behzadian, the head of Mir Hossein Mousavi's election campaign. Hundreds of others have been arrested during demonstrations against the outcome of the election which have been met with excessive use of force by security forces. Many were beaten, and according to the authorities, up to 21 have been killed, although the true number is likely to be higher.
- calling on the authorities to remove unlawful restrictions on the freedoms of expression, association and assembly.

2012 B2B Online Marketing Trends: PPC Advertising and Social Media
PPC advertising and social media marketing are two main channels of internet advertising that online marketing professionals use to convert traffic for B2C campaigns. However, the B2B market is a whole different environment with users exhibiting different search behaviours across both channels.
PPC Advertising: Paid Search
From Optify's 2012 B2B Benchmark study, the median monthly conversion rate came in at 1.96% from paid search. Marketing professionals who effectively leveraged the capabilities of paid search reported a conversion rate of 3.58% (75th percentile), whereas those on the lower end of the spectrum (25th percentile) recorded conversion rates of 0.82%. The average B2B company also reported generating 547 monthly visits from paid search advertising, translating into 46 new targeted leads every month.
Additionally, the findings revealed that 10% of companies surveyed planned to discontinue their paid search campaigns in the near future. Effectively managing PPC advertising campaigns can be an arduous endeavor for marketers because significant testing is required to find the perfect combination of keywords, ad copy, landing pages and conversion paths. A lot of resources are also needed to discover the critical path, and some companies just do not have the budget to test and mine through pools of data.
No matter where you look online, there is a tremendous amount of hype for social media, as Search Engine Watch recently discovered when it analyzed the amount of news coverage social receives in comparison to SEO. According to that report, social was covered 4 times more than SEO on the putative technology site TechCrunch, and 58 times more than SEO on Mashable. In relation to performance, however, this channel provided less than desired results for B2B companies.
LinkedIn vs. Twitter vs. Facebook
Despite being a social media network for professionals, LinkedIn fell behind Facebook and Twitter in generating new visits and leads for B2B companies online. In terms of visits, Facebook drove in 54% of the traffic, with Twitter and LinkedIn coming in second (32%) and (14%) respectively. However, Twitter proved to be the ultimate social media lead generation source for B2B online marketers in 2012, providing 82% of all leads from social marketing efforts. In fact, Twitter's conversion rate was reported to be 2.17%, finishing far ahead of the average conversion rate of 1.60% from all traffic sources.
Despite these numbers, an integrated online marketing strategy is necessary to capture traffic across all relevant sources. Depending on the industry, different users will exhibit particular behaviours online. A combination of search engine optimization, PPC advertising, and social marketing will not only boost cross-promotional activities, but will allow your brand to drive in targeted traffic from all possible sources.

Does this coffee taste more like rocky road, Tootsie Roll pop, or chocolate-covered cherry? You decide. For us, this sweet Brazilian only needs one tasting note: "delicious".
You'll find Sitio Groto Funda to be extremely sweet with notes of marshmallow, date, vanilla, and molasses, followed by subtle dried fruit notes of cranberry, raisin and fig, along with creamy milk chocolate.
"This to me was ok didn't really catch the vanilla/fig.seemed kinda plain to me "
"This was good but I did not pick up on any vanilla/fig qualifies at all. The smell and taste were straight up peanut butter - pleasant, roasty, and mellow but not what I was expecting from the tasting notes. "
"I loved this coffee when I received it as a sample. I just ordered it to be added to my next months delivery. One of my favorites. "
"Brewed using a v60. Absolute perfection and you can actually taste the "rocky road"! One of the best coffees I've ever had!"
"Brewed well as pourover and french press. Sweetness and marshmallow and fig shined through, very light body and lift acidity. Subtle milk chocolate notes. Definitely worth the purchase and limited availability act now"


roles are disabled for my username.
I have changed the settings in "user group maint." from administrator to "engineer" because of which most of the activities on left pane of the screen are lost. How to retrieve it back to "administrator" again?
In UME, under "assigned roles" for this user, administrator activities have been assigned as attached. Still the problem doesn't solve.
P.S: "user group maintenance" activity is not visible on left pane as the user group is now "engineer".
3. On the User Group tab of that user assign the Administrator User group and remove the Engineer one, then save.
4. Log out of SAP ME then log back in as the new user. All activities should now be available again.
1- As MY USER in SITE*, i can see all activities.
2- As MY USEr in MY SITE i cannot see all activities.
Was SITE_ADMIN user, which you changed, the only user assigned to administrators gorup? If no, just login as the other administrator user and change it back.
If yes, I would correct data in the database to make it work again. In particular USER_GROUP_MEMBER table. There you need to correct USER_GROUP_BO and HANDLE fields for you user -> set ADMINISTRATORS instead of ENGINEERS.
Activitiy availability in Activiy Manager tree is controlled by settings in User Group Maintenance, no need to check User Roles in NWA, UME.
For better understadning of UME Roles and ME User groups you may refer to Security guide, in particular to Authorization in ME 6.0 section.

Seventh Grade Civics
Congress has the responsibility of passing the laws that our nation needs. More than 10,000 bills are often introduced during a term of Congress, yet only several hundred get to become laws.
Bills normally fall into two categories. Private bills concern individual people or places. They deal with people's claims against the government. Public bills apply to the whole nation and deal with taxation, civil rights, terrorism, or others things. They may be debated for months and get much media coverage.
Congress also considers different kinds of resolutions, or formal statements expressing lawmakers' opinions or decisions. Many of these resolutions do not have the force of law. Joint resolutions, which are passed by both houses of Congress, do become laws if signed by the president. Congress uses joint resolutions to propose constitutional amendments, to designate money for a special purpose, and to correct errors in bills already passed.
From Bill to Law
Every bill starts out with an idea. They may be the ideas of a private citizen, group, or a member of Congress. Many more ideas begin in the White House. Other bills are suggested by special interest groups, or organizations made up of people with some common interest who try to influence government decisions.
Bills can be introduced in Congress only by senators and representatives. Any bill involving money must start out in the House of Representatives. Every bill gets a title and a number when it is submitted. The first bill in the Senate was titled S.1 and the first bill in the House was H.R. 1. Bills are then sent to the standing committee that seems most qualified to handle it.
Committee Action
Committees receive more bills than they can work through. The chairperson is the main person to decide which bills get ignored and which get studied. Those that merit attention are researched and reported on by a subcommittee. Public hearings may be held to allow experts and concerned citizens to voice their opinions. Some people may submit written statements for or against a bill.
Standing committees have full power over bills. The committee can pass the bill without changes, mark up a bill with changes and suggest that it be passed, replace the original bill with a new alternative, ignore the bill and let it die which is known as "pigeonholing" the bill, or kill the bill outright by majority vote. The full House or Senate can overrule the decisions of its committees, but this doesn't happen much. When a committee is against a bill, it almost never becomes a law.
Floor Debate
Bills approved in committee are ready for consideration by the full house of Congress where it is located. The bills are put on calendars, or schedules, in chronological order (the order they arrive). The Senate takes up bills in the order listed. The House schedule is controlled by the Rules Committee. This committee serves as a "traffic cop," giving priority to the most important bills. It can also kill a bill by not letting it get to the floor.
When bills reach the floor of either the House or the Senate, the members debate the pros and cons. Amendments may be discussed as well. The House accepts only amendments relevant to the bill. The Senate allows riders, or completely unrelated amendments to be tacked onto the bill. Senators include riders that are likely to pass. Sometimes they attach these riders to benefit their constituents.
In the House, the Rules Committee sets the terms for debate. It often puts a time limit on the discussion over a bill to speed up the action. The Senate has fewer rules. Senators can speak as long as they want and it doesn't have to deal with the topic at hand. Sometimes they take advantage of this custom to filibuster, or talk a bill to death. A member can hold the floor for hours delaying a vote until the bill's sponsor gives up and withdraws the measure.
The Senate can end a filibuster if three-fifths of the membrs vote for cloture. Under this procedure, no one may speak for more than one hour. Senators do not use cloture often. There was a 74 day filibuster in 1964 over the Civil Rights Act by some senators against the legislation.
Voting on a Bill
When members of Congress are ready to vote on a proposed law, they have several ways in which to vote. The simplest in both houses is a voice vote, in which those in favor say "Yea" and those against say "No." In a standing vote, those in favor stand to be counted, and those against will stand afterward. The House now uses a computerized voting system to produce a permanent record of each representative's vote. A representative's constituent may want to see how their elected official voted on a bill that interests them. In the Senate, members voice their votes in turn as an official writes them down in a roll-call vote.
A simple majority of all members that are present is needed to pass a bill. If the bill passes one house, it is sent to the other. If either one rejects the bill, it dies.
The Constitution requires the Senate and House to pass a bill in identical form before it can become a law. If either house makes changes in a bill after they receive it from the other house, a conference committee is formed with members of both houses. This committee will privately meet to work out the differences between the two versions. Once they have revised the bill, it must be accepted or completely rejected without amendments.
Presidential Action
Once a bill has been approved by both houses of Congress, it goes to the president. The president may sign the bill and declare it a new law. The president may instead veto, or refuse to sign the bill. The president may do nothing for 10 days in another choice. At the end of those ten days, if Congress is in session, the bill becomes law without the signature of the president. If Congress is not in session, the bill dies. Killing legislation like this is known as a pocket veto.
If the president vetoes the bill, Congress still has a chance to save it. They can override the veto with a two-thirds vote of each house. This is tough to do and Congress has only accomplished it only about one-fifth of the time.

How To Effectively Use, An Open House?


Kelly has asked me to write a post about ageing. She wanted me to do this as I am a reasonably fit, reasonably healthy 75 year old, who lives a full and active life. It has not always been so.
I was born just before the Second World War, in 1937, so most of my early life was during the period of severe food rationing, which lasted until about 1951.
People today wouldn't believe how little food we had during this period. Later on, in my 30s, I gathered together a person's week's wartime rations, and laid it out on the table. My children just didn't believe that one person could exist on so little food.
In some ways we were the healthier because of it, as there was no question of over-indulging in anything, but in other ways there could be some quite serious vitamin deficiencies. Many children during this period suffered from 'rickets', known on the continent as 'The English Disease'.
It's a softening of the bones in children due to a deficiency of vitamin D leading to the malabsorption of calcium. Many children at that time had to wear leg irons because the 'long' bones in their legs were incapable of supporting the weight of the body. It also led to dental problems and neuromuscular problems, among others.
I suffered from both of these as a child, and in fact, lost all my teeth by the age of 20, as they rotted due to a lack of tooth enamel. I had so many metal fillings that my mouth was more like a scrap yard.
Recent research has demonstrated that a lower food intake can extend life expectancy. True, this research was conducted on rats, but it does suggest that over consumption can lead to complications in later life, and we are seeing a dramatic increase in obesity and Type 2 diabetes in the developed nations.
Asian people, who eat a low dairy, low sugar, low meat diet, mainly because they can't afford anything else, suffer far less from chronic diseases, especially heart conditions and cancers, than their counterparts in the west. However when they emigrate to western countries and adopt that lifestyle, within a few years they develop exactly the same conditions. Also, as Asian people in their own countries have become more prosperous, they too have begun developing these health issues.
We are not designed to consume large quantities of food continuously. Our bodies have evolved to gorge when food is plentiful, in order to store fat which will be used as energy during times of famine. Animals that hibernate demonstrate how this works.
Anyway I digress – no change there.
Why do we age, and is there anything we can do to live an active life into our 70s, 80s and beyond.
It is generally accepted that the human body could have a healthy lifespan of at least 120 years. Whether or not we achieve this depends on many factors. It is true that some people are dealt a poor hand when it comes to good health, but I am talking here about people in general.
There are a number of reasons why we age the way we do, physical, mental and psychological. Also there is the conditioning by our family, our friends and society.
Physically we need a sufficient supply of food. Good quality food is obviously better. We need to reduce or eliminate our intake of processed, convenience and highly refined foods.
Physically, we need to take adequate exercise. Our bodies have evolved to move, not to live a sedentary lifestyle. I'm not suggesting that daily workouts are necessary, although there is nothing intrinsically wrong if that's what turns you on. And it can turn you on, by releasing feel good hormones into your bloodstream, but it can be addictive. You have only to observe people who exercise regularly, who have suffered an injury which stops them from pursuing their normal routine. They can suffer with quite serious reactive depression.
Mentally, it helps if we have a positive attitude towards life, although there are some who see me as overly serious. But for the most part, I am reasonably content, because I have learned to accept 'What Is', at least some of the time. It's true to say that most suffering is caused by wishing things were different, not the way they are.
I only wish I could live it all the time, but hey ho.
Stress is another cause of premature ageing. Not all stress is bad. In fact we need stress in order to achieve anything. It's interesting that the stress caused by success is exactly the same as the stress caused by failure, as far as the body is concerned. The same chemicals, the stress chemicals, mainly adrenaline and cortisol, are produced. They evolved to give us the 'fight or flight' response to a challenge, but if, for example, our boss gives us a telling off, we can neither hit him or run, neither of which are appropriate in our modern way of life.
The problems start when stress is continuous – where the body has no time to recover between episodes of stress, because the system is always flooded with these chemicals.
Psychologically, we are all subject to conditioning from family, friends, society and other authority figures. This conditioning is most powerful during childhood, when up until the age of about 9 or 10, we have not developed the powers of logical reasoning, or critical thinking, so we tend to accept whatever we are told, by our elders.
'That's it, Michael. You're 35 now. That's the half way point. It's downhill to the grave now.' (He was such a jolly fellow).
I refused to accept this, and I made a conscious decision to live my life from a different perspective – that of not accepting the social conditioning that we have to deteriorate as we get older. We may have to pace ourselves differently, but that can lead to improved performance in many areas, as we are not wasting energy.
Ageing is as much a mental process as a physical one, and even modern medicine is changing its belief system and accepting that how we think has a powerful effect on our bodies.
Our brains and bodies are not separate. They are interconnected at the very deepest levels.
It has recently been discovered that the heart is made up of not just heart cells, but brain cells as well. Our digestive system contains many brain cells and is also an important part of our immune system.
The brain releases chemicals that affect the body, but the body also releases chemicals that affect the brain. It's a two way process – in fact, it's just one process.
Our thinking has a very powerful effect on how our bodies function, even to the point of how healthy we can be, and how long we live.
Always remember that your age is just a number. How you process that number – what beliefs you hold regarding it – can and will have a major effect on how long you live, and more importantly, on your quality of life while you are here.
How are you exploring your own fountain of youth?
Hi Andy, thanks for your comment. I find that just walking regularly is a sufficient exercise regime. It uses all the body's muscle groups without being high impact. Anyway good luck with whatever you decide.
Quality of life is important. Life expectancy has increased, and yes we need to be aware and continue to learn. In an attempt to make those years count and not just numerically.

The Fox and the Crane
Alexander Afanasyev / Bernard Isaacs
A fox and a crane became friends. The fox wanted to give her friend the crane a treat and invited him to dinner.
"Come and have dinner with me, Brother Crane, I'll give you an excellent meal!"
The crane accepted the invitation and the fox made some porridge and spread it on plates.
"Eat it all up, Brother Crane," said the fox, "it's very good, I made it myself."
The crane pecked and pecked at the plate with his long beak; he pecked and pecked but could not get anything off the plate.
Meanwhile the fox was licking her plate with her tongue; she licked and licked until the plate was quite clean. She ate up all the porridge herself.
"Don't be angry with me, Brother Crane, but that's all I have in the house. There's nothing else to eat."
"Thank you for that, Sister Fox," answered the crane. "Now you must come and have dinner with me one day."
The fox went to the crane for dinner. The crane had made some soup and put it in tall jars with narrow necks. He put the jars on the table and said:
"Eat it all up, Sister Fox. It's all I have in the house."
The fox walked round and round her jar. She tried this way and that, she licked it, she sniffed it, but not a drop of that soup could she get, for her head was too big to go into the neck of the jar.
But the crane had his long beak in the jar and pecked and pecked until he had eaten all the soup.
"Don't be angry with me, Sister Fox, but that's really all I have in the house."
But the fox was angry. She had thought she would eat enough to last her a week, but she went home hungry, as hungry as she had come. The crane had given her tit for tat.
Since then there has been no friendship between the fox and the crane.

Ahead of World Meteorological Day, you can help improve weather forecasting models with CAMALIOT, an infrastructure and app that uses GPS from smartphones to support scientific research. Join our crowdsourcing campaign on 17 March 2022 ̶ any person with access to an Android cellphone is invited to download the free app and participate.
It is a well-known issue that weather forecasts are sometimes not that accurate. There is therefore still a lot of potential to explore additional data sources to improve weather prediction models. A large quantity of GPS data from smartphones and satellite navigation devices could help to improve the general understanding of weather phenomena and make these models more precise. To this end, the CAMALIOT project was launched in March 2021.
CAMALIOT: Collecting GPS data for scientific research
CAMALIOT was commissioned by the European Space Agency and is led by ETH Zurich in collaboration with IIASA. CAMALIOT (Application of Machine Learning Technology for GNSS IoT Data Fusion) aims to build an infrastructure needed for the gathering of large volumes of observations from GPS-capable receivers of various kinds and quality. This infrastructure is being developed in the group of Benedikt Soja, professor of Space Geodesy at the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering at ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
The CAMALIOT Android app allows users to access and collect raw GPS satellite data from individual cellphones, taking advantage of dual frequency and multi-constellation chipsets now available in modern Android cellphones. The app was designed by IIASA, where Linda See, a researcher in the Novel Data Ecosystems for Sustainability Research Group, oversaw the project.
The crowdsourcing campaign starts on 17 March 2022 and will run for four months, collecting data from as many locations as possible through a citizen science approach. Interested citizens and researchers are encouraged to download the free app and collect data (ideally while keeping the phone static and with a good view of the sky) and then to upload the data to the CAMALIOT server.
The collected data will be ingested in artificial intelligence systems for the determination of tropospheric parameters to support weather forecasts on Earth, as well as the monitoring of weather in space, which is important for satellite operations and communications.
All data will be treated anonymously and will only be stored on European servers.
"By using the CAMALIOT app to help us collect data, people will not only be helping us to improve weather forecasting and the general understanding of weather phenomena, but also to investigate new scientific opportunities that could benefit society in the future," note Soja and See.
Learn more about CAMALIOT in the 1-minute video below and find out how you can participate on the dedicated website: www.camaliot.org
The CAMALIOT mobile app is also available from the Google Play Store.

Social Media Cheat Sheet: A Marketer's Guide to 8 Top Platforms
in Social Media with tags Cheat Sheet, social media, Social Platforms Both comments and trackbacks are closed.
Social media is a moving target. Blink and you might miss a major platform update, a huge jump in user base, or the launch of a new ad product. And it's complex – each social platform has its own nuances in audience, functionality, use cases, paid advertising, content formats and more. For marketers who juggle myriad aspects of business management and advertising, keeping tabs on the details of dozens of social networks is a daunting prospect. But for as overwhelming as it can often be, it's also hugely important to making the right decisions and investments for your business.
Enter: The Social Platform Cheat Sheet. This one-pager maps the top 8 social networks against each other based on various criteria, taking into account things like user base, tactical applications, KPI's and more. Of course, there are some social platforms not represented here, such as Snapchat, Foursquare, Whisper and many others – either because they are too niche, too small, or not necessarily top of mind for most marketers at this time. The intention is to update this document on a regular basis as the tides shift, so maybe they will be represented in the next version in early 2015. For now, hopefully you will enjoy this cheat sheet as a helpful guide in the "who's who" and "what's what" of social media today.

Open Database Connectivity
ODBC (pronounced as separate letters) is the acronym for Open Database Connectivity. ODBC is a standard database access method, which was developed by the SQL Access Group in 1992.
ODBC is to relational data what OPC is for real-time data.
The goal of ODBC is to make it possible for a software application to access data from any database, regardless of which database management system (DBMS) is handling the data. ODBC manages this by inserting a middle layer, called a database driver (akin to an OPC Server), between an application and the DBMS. The purpose of this layer is to translate the application's data queries into commands that the DBMS understands. For this to work, both the application and the database driver must be ODBC-compliant. That is, the application must be capable of issuing ODBC commands and the DBMS must be capable of responding to them.
Like OPC, ODBC is a function library which provides a common API (Application Programming Interface) for ODBC compliant database management systems.
ODBC drivers are available for most database management systems (DBMS) including Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Access, Oracle, Informix, Sybase, MySQL, etc.
OPC Client and Server applications are available to exchange data between OPC and ODBC compliant systems. This enables users to archive automation data in a database or retrieve data from a database as if it is a real-time data source.

Registration dates and times are decided annually by the REFENS Board of Directors.
In years past, a list of any families interested in receiving an email update after the Board of Directors has chosen the registration dates has been compiled. Anyone who has contacted REFENS or attended the Open House (held in January) would then been notified via email of the dates, times and other important registration information. We do not have a waiting list for General Registration Night.
It is up to the family interested in registering to contact the REFENS co-chair, for dates, times and additional information prior to the registration night. REFENS does it's best to advertise well in advance, but cannot guarantee you will be notified. All registrations are treated on a first come first served basis. Please be aware that we do allow our alumni families to register before any new families.
In order to respect the order in which people arrive at our school for registration, we have, for many years now, used a number system. Numbers have been placed outside Joseph Teres School on registration day to ensure that we treat each applicant in the correct order. Numbers are placed outside AFTER 4pm to ensure the safety and respect of the staff and students of the Joseph Teres School. Although we occupy a classroom inside the Joseph Teres School we are not part of the RETSD.
Anyone wanting to register for the REFENS program is asked to take ONE number for each registration and be present at the specified registration start time. Registration typically begins at 6:30pm. Doors to Joseph Teres School will open at 6:00pm to allow all people interested in registering a chance to come into the school/our classroom and start filling out the application forms. At 6:30pm, we will begin calling numbers. Anyone not in attendance at the time their number is called will lose their place in line!
All applicants are seen according to the number they have received and all classes filled following that numerical order.
We compile a waiting list for all classes at registration. If spaces become available, names on the waiting list will be contacted in order that they are listed. The order is based on your number at registration. Please keep in mind that registration is in March and school starts in September that is a lot of time for family circumstances to change.
This is the information we have given each person who has inquired about our registration process. We have operated this way for the past number of years. Some years, there have been people who wait outside the school before 4:00 in order to ensure their spot in the queue. We do not know if anyone is planning to be at the school any earlier than 4:00pm, it is up to you to make that decision for your family.
Please keep in mind that even when you get to the numbers, you have no way of knowing who has come before you. We have both 3 and 4 year old spaces available. It is worth your while to take whatever number is next and be present at 6:30pm to find out if the spot you need is still available. For example, if you are looking for a 3 year old spot and have number 10, the 9 people before you could all be looking for a 4 year old spot and you are in!
This process is subject to change without notice. It is your responsibility to contact the co-chair (at co-chair@refens.com) for up-to-date information.

Tracks we love, in no particular order.
Each week, The FADER staff rounds up the songs we can't get enough of. Here they are, in no particular order.
Subscribe to Songs You Need In Your Life on Spotify.
Read Next: Frisco enlists Skepta, JME, Jammer, and Shorty for "Red Card" video
"Caroline" — Arlo Parks
Arlo Parks sounds like a star on "Caroline," the latest song from the London musician and poet to position her as one of 2020's most promising young singer-songwriters.
"La Noche de Anoche" — Bad Bunny feat. Rosalía
For the duration of 2020, Bad Bunny has been He-Dont-Miss-Spongebob-Meme.JPEG personified. El Último Tour del Mundo, his third full-length project of the year, doesn't have a skip hiding anywhere in the tracklist, though his collaboration with Rosalía will have you especially locked in.
"Lucid" — Rina Sawayama
Sawayama said "Lucid" was written way back in 2018 with megaproducer BloodPop, but its big, bent top 40 sound wouldn't sound out of place in current day pop radio primetime. The Sawayama takeover moves one step closer.
"Shape Of It" — Ouri
Montreal singer and composer Ouri ventures out of the dreamy electronic music she is known for to create a breathtaking string-driven piece that's equal parts Björk, Phillip Glass, and 90s R&B. A richly rewarding left turn.
"Sweet Flaws" — Flohio
I keep waiting for a flaw to reveal itself on this standout track from the English rapper's debut mixtape No Panic No Pain. Whether you need an anthem for rejecting or overcoming your imperfections, this one has you covered.
"Captions" — Drakeo The Ruler
Written in jail before a surprise plea bargain secured his release, We Know the Truth picks up where the inimitable L.A. rapper left off two years ago. "Captions" is stuffed with the blunt, violent flexes that define Drakeo's bars, and contain one of his funniest ever: "I hit his goons with the Boomhauer, yeah, damnit Bobby!"
"Don" — D Double E and Skepta
A sinister, psychological-horrorcore beat is perfect for Skepta and fellow grime legend D Double E to assert their dominance while letting a fair bit of paranoia creep in.
"29" — Soul Glo
Kick the holiday season off right with some massive hardcore. The Philly band don't spare the Bad Brains influence on "29," but are skilled enough to through a few free jazzy curveballs to keep you on your toes.
"I Won't Forget" — Logic1000
When quarantine is over, a brand new virus is probably going to pop up in one of the thousands of sweaty, fluid-filled raves that pop up around the world. Never mind, though: it'll be worth it if I get to hear the unbridled euphoria of "I Won't Forget" at one of them.
"Soft Spot" — Claud
Claud is starting to seem like a pretty canny first signing for Phoebe Bridgers' label Saddest Factory. "Soft Spot" is a warm, comforting slice of puppy-love indie-pop with more than enough textures to have you savoring the repeat listens.

Located in the little strip mall on Sunset and Crescent Heights where Gaucho Grill used to be, Taco Love is bringing some San Diego vibes to LA with their Cali burritos and Asada fries.
The menu is small, they also have tacos. But they're super tiny so just get the delicious Cali burrito (they put French fries directly inside) and split the Asada fries with a friend and call it a day.
Taco Love is like an even simpler but nicer Chipotle, choose your style (taco, burrito, fries) choose your meat and then add your sides and they bring it to you, more restaurant style.
Have them bring you the spicy Habanero sauce, it's got the perfect heat and is not crazy spicy.
The Abodaba is their most unique and tastier meat, it's pork in a sweet chili sauce, so tasty!
I would even suggest getting that meat on the fries instead of the Asada. Call me crazy.
TL has a small beer selection too, in case you and the homies wanted to loosen up. Yes, I said homies. Homes.

#Syria, Al Jazira reveals about Norsra Front leader
Comments on interview by Yalla Souriya
Syria Live Update News @YallaSouriya
Jolani's name is Ussama Al Absi Al Wahidi, born in 1981 in Al Shuhail (Deir Ezzor). His family is from Idlib, who moved to Deir Ezzor where his father was a civil servant as a driver for militaries.
Jolani completed the first stages of formal education, and joined the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Damascus, where he studied Medicine two years, then left to Iraq in the third academic year.
Jolani joined AQ in Iraq after the US invasion in 2003, where he worked under the leadership of the late leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his successors after him, and still says he "pledges allegience" to al-Qaeda leader Ayman Zawahiri and works according to his instructions and guidance.
After Al Zarqawi was killed in a US raid, he left Irak to Lebanon where it is believed that oversaw the training of "Jund al-Sham" linked to al-Qaeda.
From Lebanon Jolani returned to Iraq where he was arrested by Americans and was jailed in in " Boca" in the south of the country. Then, they released him in 2008 and started again his military activity with what was called the "Islamic state in Iraq" which was founded in October 2006 under the leadership of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and soon he became head of its operations in the province of Mosul.
Months after the oubreak of the popular protests against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, Jolani returned to Syria in August / August 2011 sent by al-Qaida to establish a branch in the country, to participate in the fight against al-Assad.
On January 24, 2012 Jolani made a statement in which he announced the formation of "Al-Nusra Front to the people of Syria" by those he called "the Mujahideen of al-Sham" issued, and took from his home "Al Shuhail" his starting point for the battle. He called to take arms and Jihad against Assad. He became then, the responsible of Nusrat Front.
When Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi announced on April 9 / 2013- that the "Islamic State of Iraq" and "Al-Nusra Front" have become the "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant," Jolani rejected the next day this decision.
He announced his exclusive allegiance Al-Qaeda led by Zawahiri's leadership, Front and entered into a fight with the regime and controlled many areas including the Syrian oil-producing areas.

Breathing….we all do it, there is no other option (apart from death). It's something that comes naturally to us, an innate behaviour. Or is it? As I was out running through the Canadian Forrest on the weekend, I was struggling for breath on one of the many hills through there. I started to think about my breathing and how it would help me get to the top. I don't know about you but as I was growing up and before I was educated on the matter, I thought the important part of the breathing process was breathing in. You know, sucking in all that good oxygen deeply to keep us going. Well, as it turns out, scientifically its the breathing out part that is most crucial.
When we breath in we take in oxygen through our lungs and heart which then goes into our blood stream (through arteries) to give our body oxygen, when it is used up it travels back as de-oxygenated blood through our veins back into our heart and lungs and we breath it out as carbon dioxide (there is more to it than that but I won't bore you with all the anatomical detail). Now the interesting thing about this is we still breath out oxygen, there is still about 20% oxygen coming out of our mouths when we exhale (this is why we can give mouth to mouth in CPR). Its not the lack of oxygen that makes us puffed, its the build up of carbon dioxide that makes us gasp for air.
So the most important phase in our breathing is to actually make sure we are forcing out the carbon dioxide on exhalation. If we are taking a big deep breathe and only shallow exhalations there will be a build up of carbon dioxide and we will fatigue a lot quicker.
I also notice that a lot of people hold their breath while exercising, this has a special name called the valsalva manoeuvre (not sure of the spelling). As you can imagine this will cause fatigue at an alarming rate. Get noisy with it people, puff and pant as much as you like, your body will thank you for it.
Breathing also helps us on our strength exercises. I'm always banging on about forcing your breath out on the "work phase" of the exercise. I'm sure your sick of me blurting it out mid workout!! It's the force that helps us to lift, push or pull our body weight or equipment so that we can work harder and lift more. Examples of this are breathing out as you sit up on a sit-up, breath out as you push up on a pushup, breath out when you pull up on a rowing movement, breath out when you drive your legs up on a squat…etc.
So remember to always exhale deeply if you are feeling fatigued during a workout or on your next run. It works for me and it takes your mind of the pain!!
The items photographed below could be a great protein rich addition to your morning toast. And pre-prepared hard boiled eggs are a convenient way to get your protein in on the run, probably not ideal if you're on public transport and break open an egg for that mid morning snack. I'm sure you will get the seat to yourself!!
The nuts and seeds won't go so well on toast so try adding them to your cereal.


08:23 pm - To the moon, Alice!
In spite of a worryingly successful campaign to destroy the moon, the Japanese sent up a moon probe fitted with HD cameras and someone went and put the video on the web.
It puts me in mind of a simulator that I think of every so often and write code for. One of these days, I must find the time to put it in a stable state.
EDIT: By chance, I just came across a perfectly charming film. Return to the Secret Garden -- intended as a sequel to the book.
Also, Tera is sleeping under the table with a paw on my foot and Meg is sleeping half on the blanket next to me and half in my lap.

What the Robots Saw: Inside Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant
A stepladder bent and broken against a rack of electrical equipment, debris covering the ground, on-screen radiation readings in the red zone. These are the first images provided by robots from inside the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant after the massive March 11 earthquake and subsequent tsunami led to the world's second-worst nuclear accident.
A pair of iRobot Packbots entered three of the reactor units on Sunday and Monday. Their job was to survey the conditions inside and help Tokyo Electric Power and evaluate whether it is safe to send humans in to continue the cleanup. (See video from the robots inside Fukushima Daiichi in this YouTube clip.)
Typically used by bomb disposal squads, the robots can accomplish a range of tasks in hazardous environments, guided by remote operators at a safe location. They run on caterpillar tracks, so light debris presents little problem, and have mounts for several types of sensors. A long arm with a gripper hand can turn handles and open doors.
On Wednesday, Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) provided video of the robots at work inside units 2 and 3 at the stricken plant. The video was shot on a camcorder aimed at the screens of two laptops, which act as the control stations for the robots.
It's sometimes unsteady, and the pictures from inside the reactor buildings are not always clear, but the video reveals the current conditions in an area no human has ventured to in weeks.
Unit 3 experienced a hydrogen explosion on March 14 and the video shows light debris strewn around the inside of the first floor. In some places, metal paneling hangs from its screws and there's an unidentified liquid on the floor in a corner. It's in this building that the stepladder sits jammed against an equipment rack.
In addition to sending back images, the robots measured the temperature, gases in the air and radioactivity. In unit 3, they measured radiation levels of up to 57 milliSieverts per hour. That's high enough that a worker would hit their maximum annual radiation dose in just a few hours.
In unit 2, the camera lens was constantly fogged due to high humidity in the building. It's a product, Tokyo Electric suspects, of damage to the suppression pool that sits at the base of the structure. Radioactivity was high in this building too.
The robots are among a small squad of remote-controlled devices being employed by TEPCO to assist in cleanup at the plant. A remote-controlled excavator and dump truck are being used to clear radioactive debris from external areas around the site and a T-Hawk unmanned helicopter is being used to shoot video of the reactor buildings from the outside.
The video and data provided by the Packbots has given TEPCO its first look inside the reactor buildings and adds another piece to the company's understanding of what happened at the plant, and how it might bring it to a cold shutdown -- something that is expected to take up to nine months.

Interests: Studying Modern German History, online gaming.
I'm 47 yrs old and started modelling from about 6yrs old, mostly in plastic, but then also designing and flying scale model aircraft for Free Flight. Left the scene in the early 90's and ventured back in 2001 to build wooden period ships. Decided I missed plastic too much. Recently re-aligned my hobby to build Great War aviation models in 1:32 almost exclusively. By far, the most fascinating period of aviation history.


This is for one of my chenille covered Easter egg. I have taken a foam egg, wrapped in super soft vintage style chenille, in a variegated pastel color of pink, white, yellow, minty blue. I then embellished this little sweetheart with vintage satin ribbon and vintage millinery flowers. These are foam based and nice and lightweight. They are a little over 3" x 2" inches.
These sweet little eggs would be perfect on your Easter dinner plates as a welcome gift for your family/friends. Tucked in a cute Easter basket on your centerpiece, or spread around your house for a little pastel shabby chic Easter charm.

Q: Can't execute my app in Android SDK with Titanium Studio 3.1.0 I'm on iMac with X.8.3 and i'm trying to make my test application working with Titanium Studio and Android SDK 2.2, the apps works on iPhone Simulator but not on Android.
Here is the terminal error when trying to execute the app in Android Emulator
"[INFO] logfile = /Users/*****/Documents/Titanium_Studio_Workspace/Geocoder/build.log

[ERROR] :  Build process exited with code 1

[ERROR] :  Project failed to build after 208ms

[ERROR] :  Emulator process exited with code 1"

and the log file says the same.
I've tried the android emulator with Eclipse and it works pretty well!
On the Dashboard page of Titanium Studio the icon of Android SDK stay in Red, it says
"Android configuration details.
One or more pieces are missing from the Android SDK. It may be that the Android SDK is already installed and Titanium Studio cannot locate the directory, or it may be that some additional components need to be installed.
Items required:
An Android SDK is missing. Titanium requires Android platform 2.2.*
Add-On Google APIs version 8"
I've already tryied to remove and install it all 2 times and it doesn't change anything.
In the preferences of Titanium / Studio / Plateforms / Android it's seems to be Ok with the android sdk, the dropdown android sdk sees 3 versions of android 4.2.2 and Google API.

A: I just had the same problem while trying to start the Kitchen Sink app. In my case the problem was that  tiapp.xml referred to and Android SDK that was not installed on my machine.
I changed the SDK version number in these lines from 11 to 14
<uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>
<tool-api-level>14</tool-api-level>

Another possible option would be to install the SDK version that is called in tiapp.xml.

A: Answer 1 :
Seems build tools got moved to another directory with the latest Android SDK update. Created symlinks to aapt and dx in /Applications/Android-sdk/platform-tools:
ln -s /Applications/Android-sdk/build-tools/17.0.0/aapt aapt ln -s /Applications/Android-sdk/build-tools/17.0.0/dx dx

This solved it for me (after some digging in their Python code).
Answer 2 :
I'm on windows so i used mklink. I had to add a link to lib/dx.jar for it to work. What I dit was first add folder 'lib' to platform-tools folder and after in command line:
cd %YOUR_ANDROID_DIR%\platform-tools
mklink aapt.exe ..\build-tools\android-4.2.2\aapt.exe
mklink dx.bat ..\build-tools\android-4.2.2\dx.bat
cd lib
mklink dx.bat ..\..\build-tools\android-4.2.2\lib\dx.jar

Answer 3 :
I copied the following files:
C:\Android\build-tools\17.0.0\aapt.exe to C:\Android\platform-tools\aapt.exe
C:\Android\build-tools\17.0.0\dx.bat  to  C:\Android\platform-tools\dx.bat
C:\Android\build-tools\17.0.0\lib  to  C:\Android\platform-tools\lib

I then cleaned the project and rebuilt and everything is now working.

A: Edit your emulator so that the Target is set to Google APIs for the level you want to use.

A: If this happens with Kitchen Sink demo, the fix is to go into the Android SDK Manager and install "Android 3.0 (API 11)". Make sure the app uses emulator "Google APIs (Android 2.3.3)" and "WVGA854". I assume there's a Titanium bug because you have to install a higher API level (3.0) than is actually used (2.3.3).

GUWAHATI, Nov 10 - Praising the infrastructure in Bangladesh, Asam Sahitya Sabha president Paramanda Rajbongshi on Sunday lamented that Guwahati lacked halls and auditoriums for staging plays, and said had it not been for the naamghars, the state�s drama tradition would not have continued.
Rajbongshi was speaking at an open meeting of the biennial conference of the Kamrup District Natya Sanmilan of Asom Natya Sanmilan organised at the Dispur Press Club.
Rajbongshi, who released a souvenir of the conference, also dwelt on the influence of drama on society.
�Over the last several centuries, uncountable number of plays were written in the state, but unfortunately we are not aware of many. We don�t have information about all of them and they are not discussed,� he said, adding that the state could not take the drama tradition to its worthy heights.
Recalling his visit to Bangladesh where he saw several well-equipped halls and auditoriums where plays are rehearsed and staged regularly, he said, �We don�t even have a proper hall here. Given the state�s tradition, we should have had a number of good auditoriums for staging plays. In fact, the Banga Bhavan at Silchar is much better than any hall in the city.�


I am appearing for CGL 2017 exam as a backup option. I want to know about the work-profile in Assistant Audit Officer and Assistant Audit Officer posts. I had tried to explore a lot before coming on this forum to trouble you guys, but I couldn't find any credible information.
1. Do these jobs require frequent traveling to out of the city where you are posted ( if yes, how frequently)?
2. What are the promotion aspects of this job?
3. Is it conducive, if one wants to continue civil service preparation?
Your help will be really appreciative.
@claire-louise Thanks a lot for your generous help. The answer clears the questions I had in my mind.
best promotions are in css, joint secy ban jaoge retirement tk..promotee ias tag as well..
