Haiti: Call for international solidarity in the face of foreign interference
17 January 2023 Caribbean, International Solidarity
We, La Via Campesina and its grassroots organizations in Haiti are engaged in the struggle to build global solidarity, condemn the proconsular behaviour of certain foreign embassies that have created a multi-dimensional crisis in Haiti in order to have a pretext for foreign troops to invade the country. It must be stated that for the past several years, beginning in early 2016, there has been a process of citizens' mobilisation demanding structural changes in Haitian society and speaking out against the current threats to Haiti's future. Since the death of the former president in 2021, and with the current absence of a parliament, the existing de facto government has tried to control everything. This government was imposed by the international community. It lacks the legitimacy that would authorise it to function in this manner and to go so far as to formulate a demand of this kind, which could be considered a crime of high treason punishable by article 21.1 of the Haitian constitution and which is a direct attack on our sovereignty and our national dignity. This new attack is causing widespread indignation at the national and international levels, and it makes evident the urgent need for unified solidarity so as to avoid our national soil being once again defiled by foreign military troops.
Aggravating the crisis, media campaigns are carried out in the Dominican Republic, in complicity with the Haitian bourgeoisie. In addition, the government of the Dominican Republic, with its racist and xenophobic attitudes, is deporting large numbers of Haitian migrants without respect for their human rights and violating their rights as migrants. Its soldiers are killing Haitian migrants, not even sparing children and the pregnant women.
As a peasant organization, we are on the frontline of this crisis, given the large-scale land grabbing that continues, as well as the evictions of peasants and their conversion into agricultural wage laborers. As a result, the situation of peasants, already marginalized by the Haitian State, which has not been able to put in place any structure to meet the basic needs of the population, is becoming increasingly precarious. As a result, the rural exodus is in rapid swing, mainly to the big cities, from where people are migrating out of the country. The youth are much more affected by the forced migration imposed by imperialism, both to exploit Haitians in other countries as cheap labor, and our natural resources as an illusory project of industrialization.
At this crucial moment, in order to defeat this insupportable, shameful, and criminal plan for military aggression and end these abuses, and to strengthen the heroic struggle of the Haitian people for a Haiti that is sovereign and freed from stifling foreign interference, there is a compelling and pressing need for the intensification of active international solidarity. And this is the reason why we are making a resounding appeal for the strengthening of international solidarity with the purpose of helping the Haitian people to overcome. In this sense, it would be essential to facilitate a worldwide awareness of the gravity of the situation and of Haiti's immediate need for solidarity.
In this context, an urgent appeal for solidarity is being sent to the representatives of progressive organisations all over the world, to representatives of human rights organisations, of trade unions, of political, social, and grassroots organisations, to international personalities sympathetic to the rights and interests of the peoples of the world, to international activists, to winners of the Nobel Peace Prize, to political and intellectual personalities in all parts of the world, and to the worthy representatives of all the peoples engaged in struggle.
Only solidarity saves us!

When 194 countries meet for a conference on climate change and disperse with most nations claiming that they got something – it should be a triumph of diplomacy. But the weak agreement that beleaguered negotiators took home from the Conference of Parties (CoP) which concluded at Lima, on December 14, is quite the opposite.
United Nations officials and some governments, including India's Minister of Environment, have praised the Lima deal largely because it was snatched from the jaws of defeat.
On December 11, one day before the conference was originally scheduled to end, negotiations almost broke down when developing countries found changes in the draft agreement that had been painstakingly negotiated over the previous ten days. The revised draft put developed nations at an advantage – primarily by watering down their responsibility.
In this context it is considered an achievement that all participating nations did agree on a final draft. This means there is now global unanimity on the need for climate action. Therefore the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) has declared that the Lima deal puts the world on track for a more ambitious goal at a summit scheduled for December next year, in Paris, to cobble together a long term binding global agreement on climate change.
Environmental groups across the world have expressed dismay at the Lima agreement.
If the world stays on the path marked out by the recent U.S.-China bilateral agreement on reduction of emissions and the Lima agreement – average global temperature will rise above two degrees Centigrade. Beyond that threshold, scientists estimate, the scale of climate change is likely to be catastrophic.
Defenders of the Lima deal argue that getting the two biggest green house gas emitters, China and the U.S., to commit to the need for climate action is itself a huge achievement. Even more so since the recent Congressional election in the U.S. has empowered Republicans – many of whom still hold the view that climate change is not caused by human action.
Similarly, it is a reflection of how bad things are that a $10 billion addition to the UNFCC's Green Climate Fund, agreed to at Lima, is cause for cheer. This fund is meant to support projects, programs, policies and other activities aimed at helping developing countries cope with climate change. By a conservative estimate $ 1 trillion is needed to be invested globally every year in post-carbon technology and business models.
Proceedings in Lima were largely clouded by the continuing unwillingness of the developed countries to be taken to account for their much higher per capita emissions. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry emphasized that the developing world is now responsible for half the green house gas emissions. But the overwhelming majority of people live in the developing countries.
Bringing those billions out of poverty while also stemming climate change is a challenge that cannot be addressed in the framework established at Lima. The real battle that is brewing is over the lack of economic democracy – not just between nations but between the global north and global south.

Q: Unable to retrieve first column I am trying to get the first column (column id and get the associated first and last name). I have tried multiple things but unable to get it to work.
It returns me with error CUSTOMERID not found.
public String getCustomerUsingId(int id) {
String firstName = null;
String lastName = null;

Statement stmt = null;

String getCustomerQuery = "SELECT FIRSTNAME,LASTNAME FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE CUSTOMERID ='"
        + id + "'";

try {
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS);
    stmt = conn.createStatement();
    stmt.execute(getCustomerQuery);
    ResultSet rs = stmt.getResultSet();
        if(rs.next()){
            id = rs.getInt("CUSTOMERID");
            System.out.println("id is:" + id);
            if(id == -1){
                System.out.println("value is true");
                firstName = rs.getString(2);
                lastName =  rs.getString(3);
                System.out.println("First Name :" + firstName);
                System.out.println("First Name :" + lastName);
            }
        }
    }

I am using H2 as database and this is what is looks like
CUSTOMERID      FIRSTNAME   LASTNAME
1                P              S
2                K              S

This is how I have created the table
String customerSqlStatement = "CREATE TABLE CUSTOMERS " + "(customerId INTEGER NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY, " + " FirstName VARCHAR(255), " + " LastName VARCHAR(255))";

A: You also need to explicitly include the column name in the select query.
So, the variable getCustomerQuery should be something like
String getCustomerQuery = "SELECT CUSTOMERID,FIRSTNAME,LASTNAME FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE CUSTOMERID ='"
    + id + "'";

For you to be able to use the UPS Enterprise Portal (upsers.com), you need to sign in first. And for you to be able to sign in, you need to enter a user ID and a password. This means that you need to have gone through a sign up/registration process first. It is in the course of signing up/registering that you'd acquire the user ID and password, with which to log in. Yet on the UPS Enterprise Portal sign in page (upsers.com), we find neither a 'sign up' nor a 'register' button/link. This leaves many people at a loss, on how to go about signing up at upsers.com. But as we will see shortly, the process of signing up/registering at upsers.com is actually quite simple.
The upsers.com sign in page also doubles up as the sign up/registration page. This means that you won't have to go to some other page, to register/sign up as a user on the portal. The Upsers.com login page is, in fact, also the sign up/registration page. There is, however, a 'Login Help' page, where you can go to get details on the special login credentials you will need to use when signing up for the first time.
Therefore, you just need to enter the UPS Enterprise Portal web address/URL — which is www.upsers.com — into your browser. The browser will then take you to the portal's sign in page, which also doubles up as the sign up page.
Once you are on the portal's login page (at upsers.com), you will notice that there is a space provided for you to enter your user ID. And below it is a 'Log in help' link. You may click on the 'Log in help' link, in order to be taken to a page where you can find information on the special login credentials you will have to use in your first time sign in. Then on the screen you are taken to, click on the first link: that is the 'US Domestic, Canada, Puerto Rico and Retired Employees in the UPS Retirement Plan' link – if you are in any of those categories. When you click on that link, other links will appear below: under the 'Quick Reference Bookmarks' section. From those, click on the fourth link: the 'New User Registration' link. You will then be taken to a section with details on how to go about signing up. You will then have to go back to the sign in page (upsers.com), to implement the instructions.
When seeking to sign up at upsers.com, you only need to have your UPS employee ID — which you can find on any of your UPS pay stubs. That is the only thing you need to have, to start with. In the course of the registration/sign up process, you will get a chance to set up a password.
Accessing the UPS Enterprise Portal: This is simply a matter of entering the portal's web address/URL (www. upsers.com) into your browser. Your browser then takes you to the portal. That is, specifically to the portal's sign in page.
Entering the user ID: the user ID is simply your UPS employee ID. So you enter that number into the user ID space.
Entering the password/first time login PIN: now that you are registering/signing up for the first time, you will have to create a special one-time sign in PIN. You construct this pin yourself: by entering the first 2 letters of your last name, the last 2 digits of your birth year, and the last 3 digits of your employee ID.
Logging in for the first time: having entered the user ID and constructed the first time login PIN, click on 'Log In' button, to be signed in.
Creating a proper password: the PIN you will have created is meant to be a one-time login credential. This means that upon logging in using it (for the first time), you are supposed to 'change password' — and in the process create the proper password. That is the proper password you will be using thereafter, whenever you want to sign in to the UPS Enterprise Portal at upsers.com.
Do you work at UPS? If the answer to that question is 'yes', then it is possible for you to view your pay stubs online. That is something you can do through the UPS Enterprise Portal, at upsers.com. The portal also makes it possible for you to change/update your direct deposit details, to view/update your benefits details and to access UPS company news. Other things you can do at the UPS Enterprise Portal at upsers.com include updating your federal withholding details, viewing the total numbers of hours you have worked… and so on. In a nutshell, most of the things that would otherwise have caused you to pay a visit to (or call) the UPS HR offices can be done online, at the UPS Enterprise Portal.
The UPS Enterprise Portal is accessible at upsers.com. To visit it, you only need to enter its web address/URL (www. upsers.com) into your browser's address bar. Your browser should then take you to the UPS enterprise portal. You will land on the portal's login page. This means that for you to be able to actually use the portal, you will have to sign in first. After signing in, you can access and use the various features on the UPS Enterprise Portal.
There are three key steps you need to follow, when seeking to use the UPS Enterprise Portal.
Accessing the portal: this, as we noted earlier, simply entails entering the portal's web address/URL (upsers.com) into your browser's address bar. Your browser then takes you to the UPS Enterprise Portal – specifically to the login page.
Logging into the portal: this is just a matter of entering your user ID and your password, and then clicking on the 'Log In' button.
Navigating around the portal: this entails clicking on the relevant menus/links, in order to access the specific feature you are interested in. Let's say, for instance, that you wish to view your pay stubs. In that case, upon logging in, you click on the 'Life and Career' menu item. Then you click on the paycheck link, to view your pay stub. You can follow similar steps when seeking to update your direct deposit info, when seeking to view your benefits info and so on.

India-UAE Relations: Poised to Climb to New Heights
P.N. Khushnam
India's interests and capabilities extend well beyond the subcontinent. This essay is part of a series that explores the geopolitical dimensions, economic ties, transnational networks, and other aspects of India's links with the Middle East (West Asia) -- a region that plays a vital role in India's economy and its future. More ...
Since Narendra Modi became prime minister in 2014, Indian foreign policy has witnessed significant changes in approach, priority issues, and focus. The relationship with United Arab Emirates (UAE) is at the core of an assertive new Gulf policy subsumed under the "Extended Neighborhood Policy." Mutually reinforcing economic visions and compatible geopolitical outlooks have laid the basis for a more robust and promising partnership between India and the UAE.
Pathway to the India-UAE Strategic Partnership
Since the establishment of India-UAE diplomatic relations in 1972, the scope of bilateral relations has widened and the level of engagement has increased significantly[1] — no more so than during the past several years. Prime Minister Modi's visit to the UAE in 2015 led to a slew of agreements aimed at strengthening economic, defense, security, and law enforcement cooperation.[2] The momentum was reinforced by the visit to New Delhi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayad Al Nahyan on the occasion of the 68th Republic Day Celebration the following year.[3] The Crown Prince was accompanied by high level delegation comprising Cabinet Ministers, senior officials and business leaders and culminated in the signing of the Joint Statement on the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement.[4]
The recent developments in India-UAE relations stem from shared economic visions and compatible regional geopolitical outlooks. UAE's national aspirations and priorities are outlined in "Vision 2021," which was promulgated in 2010. This document mapped six priority areas for attaining its development objectives: a cohesive society with its distinct identity, public safety and sustainable environment and infrastructure with world class healthcare and education system to turn the country into a competitive knowledge economy for a desired outcome of peace, security and prosperity with dignity.[5] Nearly a decade later, Abu Dhabi released "Economic Vision 2030," a long-term economic diversification strategy focused on advancing knowledge industries by building a skilled workforce, world class infrastructure, and an efficient globally integrated business environment.[6]
The Emirates' plans to develop a diversified, knowledge-based 21st century economy have dovetailed with the Modi administration's blueprint for unleashing India's economic potential. The promotion of economic engagement is a vital component of foreign policy of the Modi government. The "Neighborhood" and "Extended Neighborhood" policies form the bedrock of the Modi administration's efforts to pursue this engagement. India's relations with UAE forms the pivot of its policy in the region.
Recent progress in the development of India-UAE relations stems also from broadly compatible geopolitical outlooks and shared security concerns. Both sides recognize that the security of the Gulf and the Indian Ocean are indivisible. They also appreciate the threat posed by non-state violent extremists to their respective interests. This common understanding provides a basis for dialogue and concrete forms of defense cooperation in maritime security, counterterrorism, and other areas.[7]
Heightened India-UAE Engagement
In his Independence Day speech in 2020 Prime Minister Modi touted the progress that had been made in strengthening ties across multiple domains with the countries of West Asia.[8] This progress is most evident in the areas of investment, advanced technology and the knowledge economy, and integrating Gulf-Indian Ocean security.
1. Investment:
The UAE is regarded not only as a major trade partner but also as a valuable source of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Modi administration's drive to develop a $5 trillion dollar economy.[9] The Emirates' investments have topped $9 billion, making it the 10th-largest source of FDI in India.[10] Officials and business leaders on both sides see great untapped potential and a huge appetite to invest in India.[11] [12]
The UAE-India High Level Task Force on Investment is the key forum to promote economic ties and accelerating engagement between the two countries. With the signing of Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2017, the Task Force acquired new significance in facilitating investment by addressing the issues of mutual concerns with trust and shared vision. The special UAE PLUS desk and the Fast Track Mechanism have played crucial roles in facilitating investment.
Since its founding in 2015, UAE-India Business Council has worked to facilitate economic synergy and create a better business environment.[13] In 2019, the two sides issued a joint statement on creating a single window for all Emirati investments and a fast-track process for UAE companies seeking to invest in India.[14]
For its part, UAE is seeking potentially lucrative destinations for Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) investments — and India is regarded as one of them. Last June, Mubadala (an Emirates' SWF) invested $1.2 billion in Indian telco and digital services firm Jio Platforms.[15] Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), the United Arab Emirates' biggest sovereign wealth fund, sees India (and China) as key growth drivers and targets for outward investment.[16] The India-UAE Food Corridor has attracted $5 billion in proposed investments from the Emirates, in India's mega food parks, farming logistics, warehousing, and fruit and vegetable hubs.[17] To attract such funds, India has proposed a 100% tax exemption from their interest, dividend, and capital gains income in respect of investment made in infrastructure and other select sectors before March 31, 2024.[18]
2. Advanced Technology and the Knowledge Economy
In 2018, in an effort to keep pace with the changing technological imperative to attain their national aspirations, India and UAE signed a Memorandum of Understanding to generate an estimated $20 billion in the span of a decade. According to Deepak Bagla, the Managing Director and CEO of Invest India, "India — the world's fastest expanding market opportunity, with its talent pool of human capital, well acknowledged for innovation and UAE — a hub of cutting-age technologies — are natural partners in the field of Artificial Intelligence."[19]
The Emirates have stepped up efforts to "invest" in the development of the knowledge economy by expanding "golden visa" residency permits in order to attract the best minds to the country so as to fuel the knowledge economy. These ten-year visas are granted to doctors, engineers, PhD scholars and specialists in high-end technology fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), Big Data, virology and epidemiology.
3. Space Cooperation
Space — the next frontier for gaining power and achieving prosperity — is a new arena in which India and the UAE have collaborated through the work of the UAE Space Agency (UAESA) and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). Space cooperation between India and the UAE gained quick momentum during Prime Minister Modi's visit to the Emirates in 2015. Together, the two space agencies have developed the nano-satellite, Nayif-1, which was launched from the Satish Dhavan Space Centre, Sriharikota in India.[20]
The two countries are likely to work together on Emirates' 'Red planet Mission'.[21] K. Radhakrishna, former head of ISRO who later joined UAESA, was instrumental in developing the Emirates' Mars Hope Probe, which was launched July 2020 from Tanegashima Space Centre.[22]
4. Integrating Gulf-Indian Ocean Security
Defense cooperation between the two nations has grown fast since 2003, when the Chief of Staff of UAE armed forces visited India. The visit and subsequent exchanges led to the holding of the Desert Eagle bilateral exercises between the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the UAE Air Force (UAE-AF). These exercises have boosted India-UAE security preparedness and coordination.[23] Similarly, the maiden joint naval exercise (Gulf Star-1), which took place in 2018, are sure to lay a strong foundation for maritime security cooperation.[24]
The Annual Defense Dialogue has served as a valuable vehicle for boosting defense cooperation. Defense cooperation is steered through a Joint Defense Cooperation Committee at the Ministry level and Naval Staff Talks at the HQ level. A large delegation of UAE Ministry of Defense officials participated in the February 2019 Aero India in Bengaluru. In December of that year, India's Vice Chief of Air Staff led the delegation to the 9th Dubai International Air Chiefs' Conference and Air Show.[25] The momentum appears to be building for the development of a robust security partnership.
India-UAE relations has become a pivot of India's Extended Neighborhood and Look West Policy in the region. Shared economic visions and geopolitical outlooks have spurred the two sides to seek to expand cooperation across multiple domains, notably in investment, technology and the knowledge economy, and defense and security. The recent signing of The Abraham Accords[26] have created a fresh opportunity for even greater India-UAE coordination and cooperation. During his recent visit to the UAE, Dr. S. Jaishankar stated that the Accords would enhance the Emirates' position as a logistics hub for Asian economies, including that of India[27] — another promising sign that the India-UAE is poised to climb to new heights.

Why Torture Doesn't Work (from 50:26 – here's the podcast. There's lots of other interesting material there too).
We now know that the nation's largest professional organization for psychologists colluded with the US government to sanction the use of torture to interrogate detainees in the War on Terror. An external report commissioned by the American Psychological Association found that its own officials were involved in developing the interrogation techniques and offered an air of legitimacy that helped the Bush Administration and Justice Department argue tactics, such as waterboarding and extreme sleep deprivation, were safe and did not constitute torture.
If we step away from the political and ethical debates over torture, we're left with the science of it. And on that front, Shane O'Mara, says the evidence is clear: torture doesn't work. O'Mara is a professor of experimental brain research at Trinity College in Dublin, and author of the forthcoming book: "Why Torture Doesn't Work: The Neuroscience of Interrogation," from Harvard University Press.
My book, Why Torture Doesn't Work: The Neuroscience of Interrogation is available for pre-order on Amazon. It will be released in November.

Q: op amp emitter follower buffer offset
Hi, I'm using an emitter follower op-amp buffer with LM6132 and PN2222A. I'm expecting almost an exact follow?, as simulated with multisim. However, I'm getting an output offset of around 50mV at zero input. Reading LM6132 I should be able to swing to 0 with +/-5v supply. I'm wondering if it's an op amp input offset problem, I'll be testing this when I have access to an oscilloscope. Also, I'm using a DC-DC converter for my two rails, specifically 102-3333-1-ND, and I have yet to add input/output capacitors to the converter.

A: The emitter follower can only source current, it cannot sink it*. The LM6132 has an input bias current of (typically) 110nA at room temperature. That current flows out of the op-amp input.
If you connect it to a 500K load to ground, you'll get around 50mV of output offset. To make this go away you could add an E-B resistor- something like 1K should work very well.
*If you had a -10V supply it would probably appear to work since the transistor E-B junction would break down. This is not a good thing. Even with your +/-5V supplies it would be a good idea to add a reverse-biased diode such as a 1N4148 across the E-B junction (in parallel with the resistor I mentioned above).


With our weekend plans changing to a Saturday race, we had all day Friday to do something new and fun. Our friend Wendi invited us to go along with her on a hike around the Bean and Bear Lake loop of the Superior Hiking Trail.
We arrived around 1pm on Friday, and the sunny morning had suddenly turned cloudy and windy. I decided to bring my hoodie along, but as the hike progressed it got nicer and nicer. The hoodie quickly got tied around my waist in typical 80's fashion. The hike up to the bluffs overlooking the lakes is your typical SHT fare. It's rugged, with tons of roots and quick climbs. Very quickly we were ascending and on the entire loop we managed 1200ft of elevation change.
Arriving at the lakes, and seeing the stunning beauty of the overlook, made all the pain worth it though. Many of the runners on the Superior 100 race comment on how Bean and Bear Lake is one of their favorite spots in the race. Having seen it in person, I can totally understand why. It is truly stunning. The picture in the header of this post doesn't even begin to do it justice.
Eventually, we had to head back to reality, and the completion of the loop gave us almost seven miles of hiking for the day. It was a great introduction as to what we were going to be in for on Saturday, but that is a tale for another blog.
And now I am jealous. What a view!!


Its already the third time that I am visiting Toronto this year. This time, it was to attend a meeting of the World Dementia Council, the first meeting after being re-formed at the 2013 G8 Summit held in the UK.
This date was arranged to follow the week-long Alzheimer's Association International Conference that was held a few days earlier in the same city.
As soon as I checked in at the hotel, I headed out to the ballpark where the local team the Toronto Blue Jays were taking on the San Diego Padres in an MLB game. The stadium was almost full, meaning that the only seats available were the very steep outfield (500 level) seats. I had to leave the game at the top of the 7th inning. When I opened the morning paper the next day, I found that the game had not only gone to the 12th innings, but that they had overcome a 2 run deficit to post an improbable and dramatic walk-off win. The home crowd must have gone wild! You can relive the game through the following links (link 1, link 2).
Returning to topic, at the first meeting of the new independent World Dementia Council, there were discussions of several recommendations for the agenda, a brief summary and an outlining of the transition process (1).
The WDC was till recently a council created under the purview of the UK government. This was the first meeting as an independent council, yet there was very little discussion about how the new WDC would seek to enact changes that would help distinguish it from its predecessor. There was a general emphasis of discussion about such strategic intent, and I provided my input based around these observations. I think that this repositioning from UK Government to an independent one will be more difficult than imagined, but one that will nevertheless lay the foundation for the identity of this very important group in the years to come.
As one of the nations with the highest levels of population ageing, how will Japan act in the coming years. At the G7 held in Ise-shima in May, A Vision for Global Health was outlined, and section 2-2-2.5 deals addresses the issue of dementia. Similar recognition is required at the G7 Kobe Health Ministers'Meeting. For the 'dementia tsunami'is something that we can predict with a high degree of certainty.
I met a lot of people here including John Dirks from the Gairdner Foundation, and Peter Singer, CEO of Grand Challenge Canada, and also had the opportunity to meet Consulate General Nakayama at the embassy.
I also mention Dr. John Dirk's name here to celebrate the fact that the Canada Gairdner Global Health Award ( one that Dr. Satoshi Omura, Nobel Laureate of 2015, received in 2014) that was started in 2009 has been renamed to honour him ahead of his imminent retirement from the Foundation.


FindYourFaceMate.com is a bit of an oddball when it comes to online dating sites. We had our hopes up since the site is free so we thought it would be a great place to meet single people free. The site focuses on one main feature and that is matching singles based solely on physical and facial appearance. So basically they believe that people who have similar facial features are inherently attracted to one another, which just seems to rub me the wrong way. Ironically, most of the celebrity couple who they use as examples are no longer together, and using Bruce Jenner as an example is hilarious to me since the rumor is he now wants to be a woman. Not really the greatest argument for the whole "if people look-a-like they will be attracted to each other" as being a normal human reaction. The set-up process is short and sweet, until you get to the step where you need to upload a picture of yourself. Obviously the most important part of the profile set us is the picture, since this is the entire purpose of the site, and they are real sticklers about it apparently. I had to upload 3 photo's before I could get one to work for their facial recognition system. This was disappointing since I'm now being judged on the 3rd picture I chose and obviously I would prefer to have the first picture work since now I'm being judged on a picture of myself that I don't particularly like.
- "Matches" take time for the website to generate which you had to wait for. They also only come in batches which is clearly a tactic by the site in place to keep you coming back since you can only get a few matches per day.
- The website has a blog which users can post to, except that when I click on the tab all I see is a blank page?
The website is currently trying to build a membership base, so if you sign up now your membership will be free for life.
One up side to the site is that the services are completely free, of course there is a reason for that. The site only has about 50,000 members since they are trying to build what they call their "Face Base". There might be some benefit to getting in on the ground floor, but the site launched in 2011 so you might be waiting a while still before the site blows up.
The site informed me that I would need to wait before I was provided with a list of face matches since the process takes some time. I figured I would just search for some members to see what the site had to offer, but I hit a road block. I was repeatedly told I needed to change by location information in order to find singles. I tried to change everything I could but no matter what I did the site kept giving me the same error message, so this site is literally one of the worse places you could go to meet singles online since you wont actually get to meet any. So I couldn't see one members profile when I was trying to use the site, it was of no use to me after only using it for 20 minutes. I also had to upload multiple photos before one was useable by the site. This photo would not have been my first choice so obviously it was disappointing that I had to use a photo I'm not 100% confident in since that the only real piece of criteria the site uses to match up its members.
FindYourFaceMate.com seems to be nothing more than a gimmicky site that wont actually serve any purpose when it comes to finding you a date. I couldn't actually see any members profiles after I signed up for the site so I would have to declare this site nothing more than a waste of time! A site that operates on a more simplistic level and doesn't focus on pointless "scientific" beliefs about sub conscious human reactions would be beneficial if you're trying to find a date or just simply get laid.

Rockstar files new Bully trademark in Europe
It looks like Rockstar is gearing up for a sequel to one of its most celebrated games—Bully...
Shunal DokeNov 26, 2013 12:02:47 IST
It looks like Rockstar is gearing up for a sequel to one of its most celebrated games—Bully. Spotted by Junkie Monkeys, the company seems to have filed for a trademark for the name Bully Bullworth Academy: Canis Canem Edit in Europe. For the curious, Canis Canem Edit is Latin for "dog eats dog." There was a similar trademark filing in the US back in July where Rockstar's parent company Take-Two updated its existing Bully trademark.
This could point to a number of possibilities, and our favourite among these is the idea that Rockstar might be working on a new Bully game for next-gen consoles. Going by the company's track record for the last couple of years, however, we wouldn't be surprised to see a simple port of the game to mobile devices too. Back in November, 2011, Rockstar's Dan Houser had talked about the studio's philosophy of not rushing sequels to games. Keeping that in mind, it has been almost eight years since Bully was first released on the PS2, and Rockstar might be working on a sequel.
The best reason to get a next-gen console
After being released on the PlayStation 2 to critical acclaim, Bully was then ported on to Xbox 360 and PC. It revolves around James Hopkins—a 15-year-old boy with a dodgy past—who is dropped off at a "prestigious" school in New England, Bullworth Academy. In reality, Bullworth Academy is actually the worst school in America, with a reputation for attracting the worst students in the country, and it is the last stop for Hopkins before he is sent to Juvenile Hall, owing to his checkered past involving vandalism, violence and vulgarity, among other things.
Players discover that the school is in a constant state of turmoil because of the feuding cliques: the Bullies, the Nerds, the Preppies, the Greasers and the Jocks. Headmaster of the school, Dr Crabblesnitch, ignores all of the bullying that goes on, and insists on calling it "school spirit". Hopkins has to pacify the situation so that he doesn't end up in jail.
