Be it ever so artificial, there's no place like home field.
The Westshore Rebels broke in the newly laid turf at Westhills Stadium, also to be used by Canada's national rugby teams, with a 29-5 B.C. Junior Football Conference victory over the Langley Rams on Saturday afternoon.
Westshore, the defending Cullen Cup B.C. champion and Canadian runner-up last year to the national champion Saskatoon Hilltops, moved to 3-1 while Langley fell to 1-3.
The Rebels played their first three games of the season on the road while the new turf was being laid at Westhills.
"The turf is fantastic," said Rebels head coach Charly Cardilicchia.
That is exactly what Rebels running-back Trey Campbell, who is also an effective receiver out of the backfield, did in scoring three touchdowns and amassing more than 200 all-purpose yards on Saturday.
"[Campbell] is so hard to bring down and gets so many yards after contact," said Cardilicchia.
The Rebels defence, meanwhile, was in the Rams backfield all afternoon. It was just a matter of being pro-active, Cardilicchia said.
After having to rally for tight road wins in Nanaimo and Kamloops the past two weeks, the Rebels allowed themselves a little more breathing room in their home opener.
The Rebels continue their four-game homestand next Saturday against the winless Valley Huskers from Chilliwack.
"We're in a great position. We're in the driver's seat," said Cardilicchia.

Zeina, the youngest Emirati stranded abroad, returns home
Photo: WAM
Published Wednesday, June 10, 2020
Despite the suspension of commercial flights in Kuwait as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the UAE Embassy in Kuwait, with the close follow up by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, MoFAIC, the youngest Emirati child stranded abroad has returned to the UAE.
Two-month-old Zeina Al Amiri, the child of Dr. Abdullah Al Amiri, was born in Kuwait this past April. Zeina's mother and older brother Zayed were based in Kuwait since July 2019, as Dr. Al Amiri was completing the Cleveland Clinic Service Excellence Training Programme in the United States.
However, with the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Al Amiri returned to the UAE in March 2020, joining the ranks of frontline healthcare workers to combat the spread of the virus.
"After ten months apart, and in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the UAE Embassy in Kuwait, an emergency passport for my child Zeina was issued, and my family returned safely to the homeland," Dr. Al Amiri recalled.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said that it continues its efforts to repatriate Emirati citizens currently stranded abroad.
In a statement, MoFAIC noted that coordination efforts with UAE embassies and missions, as well as relevant authorities are underway to ensure the safe return of Emiratis.
Khalid Abdullah Belhoul, MoFAIC Under-Secretary, affirmed the ministry's keenness and follow-up of its leadership on the full progress of work to ensure the safety of UAE citizens, and to facilitate the necessary procedures to their repatriation.
He noted that MoFAIC continues to coordinate with the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority, NCEMA, and all concerned parties inside and outside the country to monitor developments and to repatriate citizens and their companions safely.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation issues emergency passports through UAE missions abroad to newborn children or in the event of loss, theft, damage or expiry of the UAE passport, enabling Emiratis to return to their homeland. An application can be submitted online via the MOFAIC website or the UAEMOFAIC smart app.

V-TUBE amplifiers since 2010
We are a European company with headquarters in Poland, active in the audio industry since 2010. Our field of expertise is the production of tube amplifiers based on the V-TUBE concept. We have created the EGG-SHELL brand. Since 2021, we have been developing amplifiers under the name ENCORE SEVEN.
ENCORE SEVEN vacuum tube amplifiers take all the best ideas and features from the achievements of EGG-SHELL amps, in particular from the main and most developed EGG-SHELL Prestige series. At the same time, the now revised approach to amplifier design and construction elevates the new models to an even higher level in every respect – advanced design, better sound, appearance and quality of workmanship. The visual facelift has been entrusted to Krakow's Szostak Atelier (Witold Szostak), whereas Rolof Audio (Robert Rolof) is responsible for the electronics design.
Discover the Encore Seven SYNCHRONICITY
For more than 10 years, EGG-SHELL amplifiers have won the appreciation of users and the favour of trade journalists and have made a lasting mark in the history of the audio industry. Our greatest successes include the title of BEST PRODUCT 2016 awarded by High Fidelity magazine for the EGG-SHELL Prestige 9 amplifier and the award for one of the best-sounding systems at the Audio Video Show '2016 in Warsaw (Europe's second largest industry show). EGG-SHELL amplifiers have found customers throughout Europe and Asia.

Features of the new Encore Seven amplifiers
Electronic system
The electronic circuit is built on PCBs. The well-proven push-pull system on KT88 tubes was developed many years ago. For the ENCORE SEVEN project, it was redesigned to fit optimally into the required amplifier space. The vast experience of the Rolof Audio has resulted in an excellent final effect – the amplifier that is stable, quiet (no hum) and with a highly sophisticated sound. And at the same time, it is featured by a stable operation and an expected long lifetime of tubes, capacitors, resistors and other components.
The Encore Seven amplifiers are a continuation, or better said, a significant development of the distinctive V-TUBE design developed in 2010 for the EGG-SHELL Prestige models. Features such as the V-tube system, the horizontal volume wheel, the glass on the front and the gyroscopic remote control remain, whereas the extensive lift transforms the existing amplifiers into something even more intriguing and compelling. The casing consists of more than 100 aluminium sheets that form a layered irregular block and also a cooling radiator. Such a concept has probably never been seen before in the audio world.
Mechanical and manual production
Encore Seven amplifiers are manufactured in Poland from durable materials such as glass and CNC-machined aluminium, which then undergoes glass bead blasting and lacquering process. The casing contains a robust chassis and improved technical solutions, such as a volume wheel with two-point mounting supported by a bearing. The amplifier has also an improved passive cooling and electronic components from the best suppliers, such as Kiwame, Vishay, Nichicon, Miflex, Hammond, CMC, etc. The entire unit is assembled manually, then burnt-in and tested. And before transport it is packed securely in a rigid case. This product is designed for people who demand the highest quality.

Russ and I watched on on tenterhooks; if Bob could fix the machine I wouldn't need to replace it, if not, I would have a full afternoon of busy busy work. The verdict came after what felt like an eternity; it was no use – the piece of paper and Sellotape combo wasn't strong enough to set off the motion sensor that set labels to be made. I'm quickly learning that it's the cut and dry nature of temporary factory work. Sadly, this was a genuine concern at the start of my working day yesterday.
This summer I signed on to a recruitment agency that caters exclusively for factories. They send me out to where I'm needed and I help local businesses, much like a really crap vigilante or Zorro figure, solely focused on the manufacturing industry. I do prefer working in factories to shops and cafes. There, there are fussy customers or kitchens that aren't run well. And factories can be great places to work if you end up with the right people, or enough diverse duties to keep you occupied until the end of the day.
However, the truth, and what puts most people off, is that most of the work is monotonous. Yesterday's episode, for example, ended with myself, sitting at the machine, flicking my index finger in front of the sensor to make labels. 2,700 times at 2.5 seconds a time. What with the machine's unreliable functionality, that meant I had to restart it every five minutes, this led to well over two hours of sensor flicking fun!
It wasn't even the boredom factor that I deplored, I was sat in a wheely office chair for Christ's sake: "how could I possibly complain?!" I hear you cry. Well, the normal thing for the human brain to do when faced with such a tearfully boring task is to let the mind wander and draft how this hilariously dull state of affairs could become a witty blog entry. In this case, the combination of bad machinery and my foreman's lack of imagination meant that I had to count out 2,700 labels by knowing exactly how many times I flicked my finger. I couldn't see the labels being made and, shockingly, the hopeless machine wasn't helping count them with me. It can't be done. It's mentally impossible to sit for over two hours and count up to 2,700 labels at 2.5 seconds a label! I invite you to try.
Positively, the latter part of my day involved the very same labels I had just flicked into creation – because it's always nice to see a project through to the end – and I found myself sticking them to the packages of dog food as they shot past on the conveyor belt. This was a much more demanding job and required quick reactions to sort out the good labels from the bad before whipping them on the boxes with cat-like reflexes (the Zorro analogy is quickly becoming more appropriate). The only problem I found with this task – because I'm a hard man to please – was that I was entirely alone in a maze of production lines. I couldn't so much as make eye contact with another person. It was at this point I began thinking, what if I needed the toilet? I was feeling thirsty in any case, but there was no way I could leave – think of all the boxes with no labels! I was duty-bound to stay put and suffer the unsatisfied impulses of my body.
So I'm still here, it's been sixteen hours but I'm sure I'll see Russ or Bob soon. Whoever it is, I hope my professional rival doesn't roll by; there's still some left over tension and he'll only want to see me wet myself.


The Pestalozzi Children's and Adolescent's Village ("Das Pestalozzi Kinder- und Jugenddorf") offers a home to children and adolescents from socially deprived backgrounds. The young people live in family groups consisting of six children. They are looked after by 'house parents' who fulfill the role of parents and support the young people to recover from past traumatic experiences in a safe family environment. By experiencing reliability, respect and appreciation the children are enabled to form secure relationships once more, which facilitates bonding. The family groups are at the heart of the service we provide.
Our facilities include a special needs school as well as twelve craft and land-based workshops and businesses that offer apprenticeships to young people. This vocational program includes carpentry, painting and varnishing, a retail outlet, a kitchen as well as training schemes in the area of home economics. Apprenticeship programs are also available at the bakery and at the farm, where fruit and vegetable production as well as husbandry are based on the principles of biodynamic farming and agriculture. The job training programs are supported by vocational schooling courses.
The Pestalozzi Children's Village is a community that offers young people a nurturing environment that stimulates growth and development. The young people receive individually tailored support and a holistic education from kindergarten level to senior school level and vocational training. We promote a holistic education of "head, heart and hand." The people who work and live here strive, with heartfelt dedication, to offer the children a worthwhile future.
The charitable organisation 'Pestalozzi Children's and Adolescent's Village Wahlwies e.V.' is the patron of this particular kind of orphanage. Our Children's Village was the first of its kind in Germany. The charity was founded in 1947 in order to offer a home to orphans and fugitives after the Second World War. Today the Pestalozzi Children's Village offers a modern welfare service for young people. It has been supported in its creation by many generous donors and still relies on financial support and charitable donations.
The Pestalozzi Children's Village is located in Stockach-Wahlwies, close to the German border to Switzerland and four kilometers away from the Lake of Constance. Nestled in a landscape of hills, streams, vegetable and fruit plantations, the village is a place of peace and security. The immediate environment offers numerous possibilities for play and adventure as well as an open infrastructure, which includes a wholefood shop, bio-dynamic agriculture and farm, a doctor's surgery and physiotherapy practice as well as rooms and sports facilities available for hire to clubs, cultural initiatives, groups and individuals. We want to live in harmony with nature and have implemented environmentally friendly practices throughout the whole village. We aim to instill an understanding of and appreciation for nature in the children and adolescents in our care.

Hasan Minhaj jokes about 'Patriot Act' episode pulled from Saudi Arabia
Filed under: Arabian Peninsula, Injustice on the Arabian Peninsula, Sacred Land of Hijaz — Leave a comment
By Wade Sheridan
Jan. 3 (UPI) — Patriot Act host Hasan Minhaj has poked fun at Netflix for pulling an episode of the series from Saudi Arabia due to its content revolving around slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The streaming service announced they had removed the episode on Wednesday following a valid legal request from the Saudi government.
Minhaj is featured in the episode blaming Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for having Khashoggi — a Saudi citizen, U.S. resident and Washington Post columnist — killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2. The CIA concluded in November that Salman ordered the killing.
"Clearly, the best way to stop people from watching something is to ban it, make it trend online, and then leave it up on YouTube," Minhaj said on Twitter.
Minhaj's comments refer to how the episode can still be accessed globally on YouTube.
Minaj also asked for donations to help the International Rescue Committee in Yemen. "Let's not forget that the world's largest humanitarian crisis is happening in Yemen right now. Please donate," he said.
The IRC is asking for donations to help save lives in war-torn Yemen, stating that 22 million are in need of humanitarian aid.
Netflix launched Patriot Act in October. The talk show features Minhaj, a former star on The Daily Show, discussing politics and culture.

Welcome to Real Life. The nativity story—angels, shepherds, manger, young couple, and newborn baby Jesus—is as warm and tender as a Hallmark moment. But, did it feel warm and tender to Mary?
"Don't be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.
Gabriel's message radically altered Mary's destiny. She, a virgin, engaged to Joseph, would soon be with child. It was a miracle—never before, never again repeated.
I wonder at what point Mary considered how others would respond to her unplanned, unwed pregnancy. Did her mother cry at the news? Joseph, heartsick at her assumed betrayal, almost broke off their engagement. Did neighbors and friends gossip? No angel had appeared to them. Some of Joseph's relatives must have traveled to Bethlehem to register for the census. Yet, no one shared lodgings with him and his young wife ready to birth a child whose conception predated their wedding. No, the King of Kings took his first breath in a shelter for livestock.
Today, we honor Mary's pure, selfless devotion. For, we know the end of the story. But, Mary believed without seeing. I am awed by her faith. She trusted that God's will is good, even when it looks bad.
Though I saw no angel, 37 years ago today, God sent me a message through a humble preacher. "Invite Christ into your life." I didn't fully understand what it meant. But, I knew it was God. And, I welcomed Christ in. I was sixteen—perhaps the same age as Mary when Gabriel visited her.
Welcoming Jesus radically altered my destiny as well. Not everyone understood. My mother shed tears. Though she delighted in my spiritual awakening, she wished it had happened in her traditional church, the one I was raised in. Friends were baffled at my changed priorities. People whispered, kept their distance.
We like to wrap the Christmas story in a neat package. However, as beautiful as it is when God invades a life, it can also be messy—like childbirth in a manger. People misunderstand. Jesus doesn't come as we expected. Yet, in the end, God's will is always good.
All these years later, do I still welcome you, Jesus? Even if people misunderstand and life gets messy? Do I believe your will is always good?
Oh come to my heart, Lord Jesus. There is room in my heart for thee.
Watch "Jesus' birth" from The Nativity Story.
Has Jesus come into your life in an unexpected way? I'd love to know.
This article, short and sweet, tells the message loud and clear with clarity and heart. Yes, we do see the end of the story with Mary and we can all sing of the Virgin Mary that had the baby boy, but none of us was there when it happened.
A life with God is a life of adventure, but it is also a life of going against the norms and standing tall when others are bending down trying not to be seen.
It make s me think of that scripture from 2 Timothy 2: 11-12 that says, If we deny him, He will also deny us. If we are faithless, He remains faithful: He cannot deny himself.
I thank you for this encouraging article.
I so appreciate you taking the time to read my blog and comment during this busy Christmas season! I am always blessed by your words of wisdom and encouragement.

Forum:Infoboxes
Forums: Index > Watercooler > Infoboxes
Since the anime started airing recently and we don't have infoboxes for them, I decided this would be an optimal time to bring this up.
About a year ago, Wikia introduced portable infoboxes. As the name suggests, they're portable - they would appear just fine regardless of the device you're using. I propose that we change all of our current infoboxes (which are more or less meta-tables) to portable infoboxes. I've migrated the current character infobox in my sandbox, and it can be seen in action here.
Since this wiki's infoboxes are not complex at all, it was quite easy to migrate. The color scheme of the infobox is decided by the wiki's color scheme, but it can be changed with CSS. I've reworked the color scheme with shades of brown to match the notice templates and the main page. Also, almost every Ace Attorney official website uses that color scheme, which makes me wonder why this wiki is stuck in blue (maybe?) - but that's a topic for another time. Anyway, here is a screengrab of how the modified infobox looks. You can recreate that for yourself by pasting this CSS here.
Like the current infobox, the first two sections - "Aliases/nicknames" and "One-off nicknames" - are collapsible and are collapsed by default.
The infobox incorporates the tab feature for images, which was brought up for discussion recently.
Portable infoboxes come with themes. This essentially means that a single infobox can have several different color schemes on different pages. This wiki uses something similar for organizations, but I propose that we use this for characters too.
Different themes based on organizations? Like, Fey clan → purple; attorneys → blue; prosecutors → maroon; detectives → brown, and so on.
Different themes based on the games? AA/JFA/TT → blue; AJ → red; DD → yellow; AA6 → blue (/any other color of a prominent character); AAI → pink-maroon; DGS/PLvAA → brown.
Character-specific themes for characters with similar color schemes? Although that would amount to a lot of custom CSS.
Or we could just scrape off the idea and have a single color theme for different infoboxes.
Maybe use horizontal groups somewhere in episode/trial infoboxes?
Slightly off-topic: we could use Lua to create a navigation for the anime/game episodes.
Please leave your questions and comments below. 限界 09:18, May 6, 2016 (UTC)
Bumping in hopes that this would get noticed. 限界 15:03, May 10, 2016 (UTC)
Sorry it's taken a while to get around to replying to you. It's good to see you fiddling around trying to improve templates and the general look of the wiki. It's very much appreciated! :)
My initial thoughts are:
The tab feature for profile images looks great. I like it a lot.
Colour scheme-wise, perhaps by organization/job might be the easiest option? However, by game is also very appealing. When I was fiddling about with changing the episode navbox, I used the following for each game:
PW: AA - black (#000000)
PW: AA: JFA - tan (#AD8554)
PW: AA: T&T - dark blue (#174276)
AJ: AA - red (#731821)
AAI: ME - burgundy (#854B61)
GK2 - sandy brown (#BCAF85)
PW: AA: DD - light blue (#4562A7)
DGS - dark green (#353F34), although sepia might be another thought
PL vs. PW: AA - taupe (#483C32)
I guess that would make PW: AA: SoJ dark yellow or gold? But this is just me throwing ideas about. One of my concerns regarding the "by game" option is whether it would be by the character's first appearance or their most recent appearance? To be honest though, maybe using the current court record-inspired colour scheme for all of the character infoboxes might not be a terrible idea...
I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by "horizontal groups" or using Lua. Could you clarify for idiots like me?
I've been thinking for a while that having the character's name in other languages right near at the top of the template is beginning to look a little out of place. Anyone else think it's a little odd to have that sort of out-of-universe stuff there? Maybe we should move it nearer the bottom (with the possible exception of the fan patch names for GK2 characters)?
Another thing I've been thinking about is whether or not more sections need to be collapsible? Maybe all of them could be, with the important ones open by default? Also, following on from my previous thought, maybe all of the "out-of-universe stuff" (i.e., localized names and actors, and maybe leifmotiff and debut episode) could be in a collapsible table at the bottom that is closed by default... Again, just thinking aloud here... - Strabo412 (talk) 15:43, May 12, 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time to reply! :)
The only issue with adding color schemes based on organizations/jobs is overlapping. For instance, Mia Fey would have both the "Fey clan" and "defense attorney" themes. But that could be resolved by picking the dominant one. It's a lot simpler than the games one, yeah.
I really like most of the colors you've suggested for the games. The only ones that I'm confused with are PW: AA and JFA: was there any specific reason for picking those colors? Also, sepia (or maybe a lighter, paler shade?) would definitely better than dark green. I'd personally go with the character's first appearance for by-game classification, but it could also be the one with most in-game appearances or how much influence it wields over the character's story. I'm not sure about the current court record-inspired theme; it looks too bland, but maybe that's just me.
Of course! :) By "horizontal groups," I meant something like this: several items in a single row rather than multiple columns. This can surely be incorporated into some of the infoboxes to lessen their height. Lua can be used for creating navigation links. Like for instance, Turnabout Samurai would list Turnabout Sisters as "previous episode" and Turnabout Goodbyes as "next episode." What Lua would do is essentially remove the need to fill in these values. See this page foe a live example. The infobox invoked this module and populates the navigation.
This bugged me too, so it's good to know I'm not the only one. The "Names in other languages" can definitely be moved above "Miscellaneous."
After getting some suggestions from a few people, the general complain about the infobox was that it was really long. Collapsing a section or two would surely with help that. 限界 22:21, May 12, 2016 (UTC)
No worries! :)
I can't really think off the top of my head of any examples of overlap that don't have an obviously dominant choice. The organisations/jobs does seem more like it's the best option. However, part of me does still like the idea of the game-based one, I'll admit. The problem with using the organisations/jobs option is that most characters will still have to use the court record-inspired theme. Unless you were thinking of combining the two; using organisations/job where possible and using game for the rest?
The colour choices come from this mess I tried to work on for a while, with most of those coming from this unused template and the modified version the user who made said template was working on. The colour choices are mostly from the background colour used for box art (for example, the Japanese box art for PW: AA uses black and JFA uses something vaguely close to my choice). The dark green for DGS was just nicked from the aforementioned template (although sepia does seem like a better choice for a game based in the past), while PL vs. PW: AA comes from this template I made for the game using an approximation of Layton's colour scheme.
Horizontal groups do sound like a good idea. Using Template:CaseData as an example, would it be something along the lines of grouping together dates, courtroom, and presiding judge; defense team leader, defense team assistants, prosecutor, and defendant; and victim, time of death, weapon/cause of death, and verdict? That could save a fair old chunk of space...
Ahhh... I've seen the sort of thing Lua does on various wikis, I just didn't know what was behind it. Having something at the bottom of the infobox that lists the previous episode, the current episode, and the next episode was another thing I was wondering how to do, but never pursued. This is definitely something worthwhile doing in my eyes. Actually, it might also be worthwhile listing what the previous and next episodes are chronologically as well. For example:
Turnabout Memories
Episode order:
Previous: Farewell, My Turnabout
Current: Turnabout Memories
Next: The Stolen Turnabout
Chronological order:
Previous: Turnabout Beginnings
Next: The First Turnabout
On the other hand, maybe I'm overcomplicating things... :P
Another thought I had was that combining "friends" and "affiliates" might also be a good shout; there have been arguments before about whether or not some character is a friend or not of some other character and it seems like it's far more trouble than it's worth.
I also think the actor section of the character infobox might need to be tightened up a bit at some point... - Strabo412 (talk) 23:25, May 12, 2016 (UTC)
Using the two together is a great idea! We could have themes for organizations/jobs and game themes for characters don't fit into the former type.
Ah, that makes a lot of sense now. Most of them are usable as is, but my main concern lies with PW: AA: black seems a bit too "off" for that game, at least.
Those are some great groupings! I'm glad you agree with the idea. :)
Perfect! I, too, was thinking about having "Episode navigation" and "Ace Attorney chronology" sections. And it's quite simple, really! :D All that would change for the chronology one would be the order of appearance of episodes. Everything else would be the same.
Combining the two would only result in a big right row for some characters and I'd prefer avoiding that. Another idea would be to merge the three rows into a single one spanning over two columns and separated by modified <hr>s. Something like this.
I have no opinion on the "Actors" section. As long as it sticks with the other out-of-universe info, I'm fine. 限界 18:41, May 13, 2016 (UTC)
I'm going to start with my thoughts no this topic generally before getting to my thoughts more specifically on the visual designs of our wiki's infoboxes.
Over the past few months, I browsed various Wikia wikis on a phone (i.e. using the mobile skin) and found that a lot of infoboxes broke or spit out wiki code as junk text. Our character infoboxes in particular were positioned at the bottom of each page (at least, that's what was going on the last time I checked), though in the past they'd be positioned correctly, but the collapsible elements didn't work. I also found that the main page was messed up under the mobile skin. I wondered whether we could have the site use different wiki markups depending on the skin. I never really ended up asking around about it, instead using the mobile main page editor (which apparently is only available to admins for some reason, and doesn't show up on history / recent changes) to make a mobile version of the page.
After this, I considered converting our templates, particularly the character template as it's so ubiquitous. However, from what I saw in infoboxes that were converted to the infobox markup, certain visual features were lost in the transition. I again considered whether it was possible to change the wiki code depending on the skin that is used, or whether the look of the template could otherwise be retained on desktop skins while still using the infobox markup. So this brings me to this forum thread. Generally, as far as changes in appearance go, I just let whomever is working on and discussing such matters decide what direction to go in. In this case, though, I suppose the questions to ask are:
What visual elements do we want to retain from the current infobox, and what elements do we want to change?
What aspects of the changes between this infobox and the current infobox are due to preference, and which are due to things just getting lost in translation?
Is it worth trying to retain elements of the current infobox?
As a reference, the current infobox "ecosystem" is taken from the Final Fantasy Wiki's character infoboxes, which also got converted recently. From what I can tell, the left column background colours were retained, but the rounded corners were lost. Also, the title boxes have the relevant game's logo on them, which I don't think was there before. I just thought that this was worth mentioning to have a better idea of what exactly our options are for the actual migration to the new markup.
I might comment on the specifics discussed so far at a later time.
capefeather (talk) 21:49, June 4, 2016 (UTC)
FWIW, I definitely agree with using more collapsible sections and perhaps merging the friends and affiliates. capefeather (talk) 22:37, June 4, 2016 (UTC)
Thought I'd put in my two cents:
The tab feature looks really good. Although, even though I was the one who suggested using years for the tab titles, I'm starting to think using that character's age would be better (i.e. "Age 21", "Age 24" etc. for Phoenix). This is because the years don't mean anything to people who aren't familiar with the AA timeline (which is probably most people). Also, the question of which portraits to use for past versions of characters who have more than one artwork should probably be subject to voting.
I don't think it's absolutely necessary to have more collapsible sections, but if we do add them, the most obvious candidates would be actors and names in other languages, since they're not as relevant as other sections and take up a lot of space. One thing that bothers me is that nicknames/honorifics in other languages (i.e. Naruhodo-san, Naruhodo-kun, etc.) are uncollapsed, which seems silly when the English nicknames, which are more relevant, are collapsed. However, I think the leitmotif/debut episode should remain uncollapsed, since it takes up very little space anyway. Also, it should go without saying that occupation, associates and biological information should be open by default. You seem to have used a smaller font too, that would definitely help reduce the infobox size.
I'm fine with any of the color schemes you proposed, though I would suggest using green for detectives. If we use the game-based scheme, the colors Strabo suggested seem pretty good, but maybe PW: AA characters could have gray instead of black; it's close enough and looks better.
I'm against merging the friends and affiliates, to be honest. It's true that there's a gray area in some situations, but it doesn't happen nearly often enough to warrant such a big change, IMO. It would just result in a huge and confusing affiliates section (imagine how big it would be for Phoenix), not to mention that it would entail having to edit every single character page.
As for the episode infoboxes, having the next/previous episode (in both play order and chronological order) is a great idea. It would both look good and help with navigation.

Revival Edit
I'm kinda sad to see nothing came of this, since it all sounded like good ideas. Bumping this topic in the hope we can revive the conversation. - Strabo412 (talk) 00:02, November 1, 2016 (UTC)
This is probably a couple of months later than I should have gotten back to this, given that we might have been able to take advantage of the increased traffic due to the release of SoJ, but it's pointless to dwell on that now. Right now, I think I'll focus on the Character and Place infoboxes, because I believe they're the easiest and most urgent ones to address. CaseData brings up its own questions...
Anyway, for me the primary reason to convert these infoboxes, is to make them function well on the mobile skin. I don't know how familiar everyone is with how the portable infoboxes work on mobile, but suffice to say that it's partially collapsed, only showing the top chunk of info. I think that the info on the collapsed infobox should be the most important, or at least of great importance, so I find that the current ordering of info isn't ideal for that, namely the nicknames being the first thing to come up, and in some cases, taking up the whole collapsed space (see the mobile preview of Slyst's sandbox example to see what I mean).
A lot of time has passed since this was brought up, and though this thread wasn't brought up in the news, I do think some form of the changed infobox should be implemented very soon at least for Character, because most if not all of the users who would have wanted to contribute to the discussion have probably done so already. I'm thinking we make the shift now, and any lingering feedback and additions could still be made here. The plan is to implement what Slyst has in the sandbox, except:
the nicknames and names in other languages are moved between associates and actors
associates, actors, and names in other languages are collapsed

"Talk about gratitude," she said, half-bitingly, as she stood up. "I had to bust my butt to save you. I didn't think it was going to be possible to align with you for a bit, there."
He shrugged as he climbed to his feet with the aid of a stool. "I was supposed to die. I'm not sure I want to thank you."
Bridget brushed his face with her hand. "How can you say that? No one deserves to die!"
He idly scratched at the wound which had been replaced with a handprint. "You don't want to know. Believe me, I deserve to die." He gathered up his book and pen, finished off the coffee, then left a wad of cash on the bar. "Hope that covers the tip," he told her, walking through the door and hopping on a motorcycle.
"Wait! I don't even know your name!" Bridget called, rushing out the door.
He shrugged again. "Does it matter?"
She looked at the money on the counter. "It does to me." She was determined not to let him get away; there was something about him.
"Call me Ray," he said, looking her in the eye.
"Ray of light, Ray of hope?"
He snorted. "Hardly."
It was then that Solomon came running around the side of the cafe, his huge frame visible through the glass.
"Miss Bridget! Miss Bridget! We got Jeff! How's the fella?"
She pointed to Ray straddling the bike, who was busy zipping up his jacket. He waved, and smiled wanly.
"I'm okay, friend. The shot bounced right off a book I had in my pocket," he said, patting his upper chest.
Solomon grinned as he came up and patted the traveller on the back hard enough to loosen a man's teeth. "That's something else, ain't it, Miss Bridget? You sure are lucky, fella!"
"Ain't I, though?" he said sarcastically, although without malice.
"Well Miss Bridget, like I was saying, we caught Jeff. It took me and Matt and Sheriff Underwood to wrestle him down; I didn't know he was so strong! I think they're taking him to jail right now."
Bridget came over and rubbed Solomon's giant arm. "That was a good thing to do, Solomon. It was very brave."
"Jeff shouldn't have done that," he replied. "That was bad. I like to do good, and I knew it would be good to help catch him."
Ray held out his hand. "Then I thank you, Solomon. That was indeed a brave and noble thing, and I'm glad he won't shoot anyone else, including me."
Solomon beamed under the attention. "It was really nothing, like I was saying. Matt and Sheriff Underwood helped."
A siren's wail in the distance gave them all pause to listen. "Guess we won't be needing them," Ray said, sitting back to get a bit more comfortable.
"You're sure you aren't hurt, mister? I could've sworn you were shot."
Ray waved him off. "Like I said, it bounced off my old copy of War and Peace. I didn't feel anything, but the force of it must have knocked me over."
The ambulance screeched to a halt in the parking lot, and a pair of EMTs hopped out the back. They rushed into the cafe, and Ray sat with his arms folded across his chest, a bemused smile on his face.
The EMTs came back out, confusion apparent on their faces. Ray raised a hand. "I was the one who got shot."
The two men then came on either side of Ray's bike. "You aren't hurt?"
"Nah, it bounced off a book in my pocket."
The other man made to open his jacket. "You must have suffered a terrible bruise, then. You may be in shock."
Ray grabbed the man's wrist and extricated it from his jacket. "I told you, I'm okay. I don't want your help."
The two looked at each other, then back to Ray. Finally, the second shrugged. "Well, if you insist, I guess there's nothing we can do. Are the two of you okay?" he asked of Solomon and Bridget, and both nodded.
They filed back into the ambulance, which slowly drove off, Ray laughing the whole time. "Who's next, Barney Fife?"

Government appoints community liaison officer to local Indian students
The Bligh Government has appointed local Indian community leader Umesh Chandra (pictured left) as liaison officer to Queensland's Indian student population.
Multicultural Affairs Minister Annastacia Palaszczuk said Mr Chandra's appointment was part of a whole-of-government effort to support the State's 20,000 Indian students.
"Umesh Chandra is well-respected in Queensland's Indian community, and he'll play a key role in our engagement strategy with the local Indian community," she said.
"We want to use his standing to ensure that Queensland's Indian students know they can count on the support of the Bligh Government.
"This is about sending out a very clear message that Queensland is a safe and welcoming place for Indian students.
"They make a tremendous contribution to the State's cultural and economic life, and I want to assure all Indian students and visitors to Queensland that they're welcome here."
Mr Chandra is President of the Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO)(Qld), Publisher of the Brisbane Indian Times and Vice-President of the Federation of Indian Communities in Queensland.
Ms Palaszczuk said the appointment of a community liaison officer was first raised by local Indian community leaders.

Westpac to embrace Islamic finance market
Westpac Banking Corporation plans to boost its exposure to the rapidly expanding Islamic finance market, by offering a commodity trading facility intended for overseas investors operating under the Sharia principles of Islamic law, The Age reported.
The move by Westpac comes at a time when the Australian government is believed to be placing a new emphasis on Islamic financing, which prohibits the earning of interest, instead focussing on profit sharing based on the buying and selling of tangible assets such as property, under the principles known as Sharia law.
Trade Minister Simon Crean is today set to launch a study outlining opportunities for Australia's financial services sector to increase involvement in investment and banking markets that comply with Islamic law.
This follows urgings from a government-backed taskforce last month that tax rules be overhauled to ensure that Islamic financing products be given equal treatment.
All the major banks now provide Islamic-style banking products for retail investors.
The global market for Islamic financial services, which has been propelled by surging oil prices, is estimated to be worth close to $1 trillion, and the issue of sukuk - the Islamic alternative to conventional bonds - is worth greater than $50 billion each year
The French burqa ban: culture clash unveiled
A French parliamentary commission�s recommendation to ban the burqa, or full veil, from public places such as buses, banks and hospitals, is the most recent skirmish in an ongoing culture war between Islam and the West. But the importance of the potential ban - and the firestorm of debate it has generated - goes far beyond setting sartorial boundaries for the Paris Metro. It also highlights competing views on how best to fight back against radical Islam, the interpretation of the faith that seeks to bend 21st century life to the medieval norms enshrined in sharia law.
By recognising the burqa as not merely an article of clothing but, in the words of French lawmaker Andre Gerin, the �tip [of] a black tide of fundamentalism,� France has signaled that it takes the threat of radical Islam seriously.
Moreover, unlike the Americans under Barack Obama, the French have framed the debate not merely in terms of security, but in terms of fundamental values. In June last year, in a speech to both houses of Parliament, President Nicholas Sarkozy flatly declared that "the burqa is not a sign of religion, it is a sign of subservience." By contrast, in his Cairo address to the Muslim world barely three weeks earlier, Obama took more or less the opposite position. �I reject the view of some in the West that a woman who chooses to cover her hair is somehow less equal,� he said. Although Obama was referring to the hijab, or headscarf, the French and the Americans are poles apart in terms of the broader principle - whether to take a stand on religiously mandated attire for Muslim women.

For this 93-year-old, it�s Never Too Late to Memorise Quran
SHARJAH - Illiterate or not, Fatima Mohammed Ali, Emirati, is the first 93-year-old woman to have participated in a Holy Quran Award in the whole world.
The mother and grandmother of 120 children, Fatima started her journey with the Holy Quran at the age of 80, and has memorised many chapters of the holy book.
�Although she is pretty old, she never misses a lesson of Quran at the mosque early in the morning every day,� Ahmed Musa, one of Fatima�s grandsons, told Khaleej Times.
�She is even more keen to fully memorise the holy Quran than her young kids, seeking God�s blessings and paradise in the hereafter.�
Based in Khor Fakkan of the emirate of Sharjah, Fatima started participating in the Sharjah Quran Award since it was open for all ages to enhance her memorisation and encourage her grandchildren to learn the holy Quran by heart.
�My grandmother does not read or write. However, listens to the cassettes and receives help from her grandchildren, particularly 23-year-old Badr, who has always been very close to her,� Musa said.
�Badr, who is studying law, patiently teaches her the Quran verse by verse after she moved to his house, following a gruesome accident that claimed five members of the family.�
Musa said his grandmother was a furious woman before memorising Quran. �She has become more tolerant thanks to the holy Quran. She even refuses to go outside her house unveiled.�
Meanwhile, the second edition of the Al Hassawi Holy Quran Award, which is part of the Establishment of Quran and Sunnah Award, Sharjah, saw the participation of many other old women aged between 61 and 66 competing.
As many as 900 contestants participated in the two broad categories of the competition - one for competitors below 16 years old and one for above 16.
Kajeel Times
Are 'jihad satires' an insult to Islam?
Why did the suicide bomber cross the road �? It doesn�t sound like the start of a particularly amusing or constructive gag. But two new British shows (a musical and a film) attempt to provide both the punch line for this joke, and a justification for telling it.
Welcome to the year of the 'jihad comedy'. For 2010 sees the opening of two highly controversial shows � Jihad! The Musical, and the film Four Lions - both of which take the deeply unfunny topic of suicide attacks, and attempt to give it a humorous twist.
Jihad! The Musical opened in London on January 8. Billed as a "satirical romp about the war on terror", it includes songs called "Building a Bomb Today", "I Wanna Be Like Osama", and "Axis of Freedom". The plot involves a man from Afghanistan who ends up in a terrorist sleeper cell in the West.
The website for the show paints it as some kind of satire on the media, claiming that the intention is to highlight "stereotypes, politics and big business, and the love affair between terrorism and the media". This is, of course, a bit of a media cliche in itself: The 'satire on the press' justification has been trotted out countless times by those using �offensive� material in entertainment.
Either way, Jihad! The Musical doesn�t seem to have hit the mark. "You can't help feeling that the show doesn't so much satirise the war on terror as trivialise it," wrote theatre critic Michael Billington in The Guardian. "By portraying all media figures as ruthless go-getters and terrorist plotters as clumsy geeks, it simply gives continuing life to cartoon images. If the show is offensive, it's mainly because it's not very good."
Four Lions, released later this year, sounds more promising. Written and directed by the anarchic British satirist Chris Morris, the dark comedy follows a hapless gang of wannabe suicide bombers, as they plot to bomb London.

Ban on Muslim Scholar Lifted
The U.S. Department of State has lifted a ban that prevented Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan from entering the United States for the past five years.
An order signed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reverses a July 2004 decision by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to revoke the visa of Ramadan, a respected scholar and author who was due to begin teaching at the University of Notre Dame that fall.
�We welcome this move by the Obama administration to permit a respected scholar and voice for religious moderation to enter our country,� said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad. �This is a step toward beginning to repair the damage to our image among Muslims worldwide.�
Tariq Ramadan visited Brisbane in 2008 (see CCN174).
Fatwa forbids Facebook
DUBAI - A prominent Egyptian cleric has issued a fatwa forbidding Muslims to use Facebook, blaming the popular social networking site for rising marital infidelity and divorce, Daily News Egypt reported on Sunday.
Sheikh Abdel Hamid al-Atrash labelled those using Facebook �sinners� and said the site �endangers the Muslim family�, the newspaper reported, citing an interview in London-based daily Asharq Alawsat.
"It's an instrument that destroys the family because it encourages spouses to have relations with other people, which breaks Islamic sharia law,� Atrash, former head of the fatwa commission at Cairo's Al-Azhar University, was quoted as saying.
"While one or other of the spouses is at work, the other is chatting online with someone else, wasting their time and flouting the sharia.�
Atrash went on to say: "While they (social networking sites) permit the spread of Islam, they allow people forbidden love and relations. That is why whoever uses such websites must be considered a sinner.�
The fatwa comes days after a study by Egypt�s National Center for Social and Criminological Research (NCSCR) that found one in every five divorces in Egypt is caused by extra-marital affairs started on Facebook or other social networking sites.
U.S. Muslim Religious Council on Body Scanners
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10: The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today supported a statement by a prominent group of Muslim scholars that full-body scanners being introduced in airports worldwide violate religious and privacy rights.
In a February 9 statement, the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) asked that scanner software be altered to produce only an outline of the body and urged Muslim travelers to avail themselves of alternative pat-down searches. (The term "fiqh" refers to Islamic jurisprudence. SEE: http://www.fiqhcouncil.org).
House overwhelmingly says 'End ban on teachers wearing religious dress'
Taghrid Elmeligui, math teacher at a public high school in McMinnville, is one of a few Oregonians currently allowed to teach while wearing a head covering.
USA: With a strongly favourable vote in the House on Wednesday, Oregon is on its way to becoming the 48th state to permit teachers to wear head scarves and other religious dress in school.
The 51-8 vote on House Bill 3686 is the first decision toward repealing Oregon's 87-year-old ban on religious garb. Oregon, Nebraska and Pennsylvania are the only states that prohibit religious clothing.
If approved, the Oregon law would take effect in 2011. Before that, the state's education and labour agencies would hammer out rules designed to protect students from religious coercion while allowing observant Muslim women, Sikhs and Orthodox Jewish men to teach in Oregon classrooms.
The repeal now goes to the Senate, where Majority Leader Richard Devlin, D-Tualatin, says he personally favours the law but can't predict the vote.
Taghid Elmeligui (pictured left) is now permitted to wear her hijab because it reflects her Egyptian culture. Her students say she is an exceptional math teacher whose dress does not interfere with their own spiritual beliefs, nor their learning of math

Now it is time to go out again, and Sara is always ready for any questions, stares or even negative misconceptions about the small piece of cloth that covers her head.
"I want to defeat all stereotypes with my hijab and the only way to do it is to speak out about it," she told IslamOnline.net.
Sara, 22, has been wearing hijab for nearly 4 years now.
"When I first wore it I was in high school in San Diego, California, and it was great. The place is so much diverse there and people are exposed to different cultures and different faiths," she recalled.
"But when I came back to Washington I did notice a couple of stares from the non-Muslim community, I knew they might not be the same."

Muslim bus driver stuns passengers by stopping bus mid-route and praying in the aisle
LONDON: A BUS driver stunned passengers by pulling over mid-route and beginning to pray in the aisle.
The driver, a Muslim, stopped the bus without warning before removing his shoes and, using a fluorescent jacket as a prayer mat, beginning to chant in Arabic.
Passengers said they feared the driver could be preparing for a terror attack, The Daily Mail newspaper in the UK reported..
No one was able to get on or off the vehicle during the five-minute prayer session.
Passenger Gayle Griffiths complained to Transport for London about the bizarre incident on the bus in London, England, this week.
Mother-of-one Miss Griffiths, 33, boarded the bus a few minutes earlier on her way home from work.
She says that she even feared at the time that the driver might be a fanatic planning to blow up the bus.
Left engine running
"I have done the journey a million times before but I was in a hurry to get home to pick my little girl up from school," she said.
"We had just picked up and let off people at a bus stop and moved off again when the driver stopped the bus very suddenly.
"He got out of his cab, leaving the engine running, and walked towards the middle exit door.
"He laid out a fluorescent jacket on the floor and I thought that somebody must have been sick and he was covering it up.
"I didn't really think much of it. But then he took off his shoes and began praying. I was gobsmacked and quite bewildered.
"I thought it would all be over in 30 seconds but it went on for over five minutes."
Transport for London said it had apologised to all the passengers for the delay to their journey and said all Muslim drivers are being reminded that they should pray during statutory rest periods rather than hold up services.
"As diverse employers, TfL and the bus operators provide suitable prayer or quiet rooms at garages and other key locations for staff who wish to practise their faith," a spokesman said.
"We have asked London General to remind drivers who have a requirement to pray to use these facilities during their rest periods."
Hello CCN,
I would appreciate if you could help me find female physiotherapist. I vaguely remember one fem physio who had advertised in the CCN a few months ago, but I am unable to find her even though I have trawled many issues of CCN.
Editor] If any CCN readers can assist with this request please email ccn@crescentsofbrisbane.org.
There was a story in this week's CCN regarding Daniel Streich, the Swiss politician who opposed minarets, becoming Muslim. Given that a Google search on the story reveals not one main stream newspaper verifying the story, I'm a little concerned about it's validity. I'd recommend keeping an eye out on further developments of this story in the coming weeks. It might be just one of the many myths that exist on the internet. I hope that I am wrong though.
[Editor] We have done extensive searches for mainstream sources to verify this story but also to no avail.
Dear CCN Editor
I am about to join an MPhil program in Religion and Philosophy at UQ St Lucia on scholarship.
I am writing to you from Pakistan and will be, inshaAllah, reaching Brisbane on March 9 along with my husband and an infant son.
Could you please help me find some temporary accommodation with some Muslim family etc. or anything you consider reasonable for approximately 2-3 weeks.
We wish to have some place in hand when we arrive in Brisbane so that we can directly go there from the airport. Meanwhile we will look for some accommodation near UQ campus.
Since we do not know how much time it will take to arrange for our housing there we cannot afford hotel stays etc for too long and therefore look forward to some Muslim family renting out a place for a few days.
Wassalaam

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man reveals a game that, according to John Perkins, is "as old as Empire" but has taken on new and terrifying dimensions in an era of globalization.
And Perkins should know.
For many years he worked for an international consulting firm where his main job was to convince LDCs (less developed countries) around the world to accept multibillion-dollar loans for infrastructure projects and to see to it that most of this money ended up at Halliburton, Bechtel, Brown and Root, and other United States engineering and construction companies.
This book, which many people warned Perkins not to write, is a blistering attack on a little-known phenomenon that has had dire consequences on both the victimized countries and the U.S.

Q: Dear Kareema, I remember you saying that we should be mindful of the following: diet 70% and exercise 30%. I'm trying very hard to stick to it and was wondering if it is better to eat first and then workout or vice versa?
A: HIT THE GYM AND THEN DIG IN!
If you're trying to lose weight, it's better to get moving before your meal. Bearing in mind that you should have a small snack (piece of fruit) about an hour or so before your workout. Never exercise on a completely empty stomach (you may be left feeling dizzy).
Our satiety hormones are sensitive to weight loss and exercise, so working out may help regulate your appetite.
Next time try eating after your gym session and see if it works for you... Remember to choose healthy options and watch your portion size.
Breakfast should be your biggest meal, this will kick start your metabolism and get you off to a great start for the day.
A recent 3 month study (Queensland University of Technology) showed that people who exercised and then had breakfast, reported that the food was more filling and kept them full longer than when they began the program.
Mula Nasruddin went to his lawyer and said, 'I would like to make an Islamic will but I don't know exactly how to go about it.'
The lawyer smiled at Mula Nasruddin and replied, 'Not a problem, leave it all to me.'
Mula Nasruddin looked somewhat upset and said, 'Well, I knew you were going to take a big portion, but I would like to leave a little to my family too!'

Pro-Rebel Website Posts Transcript of Interview with Doku Umarov
Publication: Eurasia Daily Monitor Volume: 8 Issue: 98
May 20, 2011 09:49 PM Age: 12 years
Doku Umarov
The rebel Kavkaz Center website on May 17 posted the transcript of an interview with Doku Umarov, the Chechen rebel leader who is also "emir" of the Caucasus Emirate.
Earlier, on May 11, Kavkaz Center denied rumors in the Russian press that Umarov was receiving medical treatment in Istanbul, Turkey, claiming that just a week earlier, Umarov had met with Chechen rebel field commanders. The website also claimed that the head of the Riyadus-Salikhin suicide bombers brigade, Emir Khamzat, attended that meeting (www.kavkazcenter.com, May 11). Some Russian officials had earlier speculated that both Umarov and Khamzat had been killed in a special operation near the village of Upper Alkun in Ingushetia on March 28. It was confirmed that Umarov's aide and designated successor, Supyan Abdullaev, was killed in that operation. In April, Umarov telephoned the Chechen service of Radio Free Europe to deny he had been killed (EDM, April 15).
In the interview posted May 17, Umarov was asked whether the killing of several rebel field commanders in recent security operations –which the website's interviewer called "notable losses" –had weakened the rebels. Umarov said that the losses "have not weakened us and will not weaken us in the future, God willing," stating that a war without losses is not possible and that the "jihad" has "widened and strengthened" since 1999 despite the loss of "very many emirs and leaders." He conceded that the losses have forced the rebels to change their plans and "tactics in the field," but added that the current "calm" in Ingushetia, for example, does not signify an "erosion of the position of the mujahideen." He said the rebels are not in a hurry and "regard the Caucasus Emirate and Russia as a single theater of military operations."
Umarov seemed to confirm that his Islamist wing of the rebel movement has abandoned the secular nationalist aims of the Chechen rebels of the 1990's. "The time has passed when we wanted to separate and dreamed of building our little Chechen Kuwait in the Caucasus," he said, adding "Today, when you tell the young mujahideen about that history, they are surprised and want to know how those plans were connected with the Quran and Sunnah." He stated: "Now we know that we should not secede, but must unite with our brothers in faith. We must recapture Astrakhan, Idel-Ural, Siberia and indigenous Muslim lands." After that, the rebels will "also sort out" Moscow, "God willing," Umarov said.
Asked about the killing of Osama bin Laden, Umarov said: "If the death of Sheikh Osama bin Laden is confirmed, then we can only state the words from the holy Koran 'We all belong to Allah, and to Him shall return.' We ask Allah to accept the martyrdom of Sheikh Bin Laden, because this person left his riches and quiet civilian life for the sake of protecting Islam. And this is a great purpose that deserves a great reward." As for whether bin Laden's death would benefit the West, Umarov said "the infidels themselves do not believe that their lives will be made easier." He added: "According to all indications, it is apparent that the condition the world is one in which the deaths of leaders of the jihad cannot stop the process of the rebirth of Islam."
Asked about the uprisings sweeping the Arab world, Umarov said they were a surprise for both the West and the "Arab regimes," but added that "the Western countries" are trying to "saddle the wave" of Arab revolutions and managing to do so, although not everywhere.
Umarov concluded the interview by saying that "without the armed forces of Muslims, without jihad, without fighting, nobody will permit us to establish Allah's Sharia" (https://www.kavkazcenter.com/russ/content/2011/05/17/81607.shtml). to Umarov's latest interview, Ziyad Sabsabi, a member of the Russian Federation Council from Chechnya, said the rebel leader's comments should be taken seriously because any "evil" or "criminal" act could be perpetrated by "such an unbalanced man." Sabsabi said Umarov's forces are not capable of conducting large-scale operations, but added that a suicide bombing could not be ruled out.
He also gave some credence to Russian press reports that Umarov may be in Georgia, stating that "they may receive him there" and that Umarov has been injured several times and may be receiving treatment somewhere. "We are looking for him in Chechnya, that much is clear," Sabsabi added. He also reiterated the Chechen authorities' oft-repeated promise that Umarov will be eliminated in the near future (Interfax, May 17).

GLIAC player of the year ready for playoff action on Saturday
John Raffel, Pioneer Sports Director
GLIAC player of the year Austin Edwards (8) makes the tackle for Ferris during the regular season
BIG RAPIDS - Ferris State garnered the GLIAC player of the year award, but it was from the defensive side of the ball, via Austin Edwards.
A defensive end, Edwards led the Bulldogs to a second consecutive GLIAC championship and an unbeaten regular-season. As the leader of one of the nation's top defensive units, Edwards has compiled 13.5 tackles for loss (-83 yards) along with eight sacks (-68 yards) and 45 total stops this campaign with both a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
The three-year starter is a three-time All-GLIAC honoree and two-time All-American who has helped FSU to its sixth consecutive NCAA Division II playoff appearance this year and the region's top seed after three-straight trips to the national quarterfinals or beyond.
"When I announced a couple of weeks ago to the players Austin Edwards was the player of the year in the league, it was amazing how much our kids celebrated his success," head coach Ton Annese said. "I celebrate the players success. It's a great feeling of love and togetherness when you celebrate the success of others."

"The whole team erupted and everyone was grabbing me," Edwards said. "It was awesome to see everyone happy with a single accomplishment from me. But it's all of us together. For me, it was working hard from the moment I got here and working hard every day."
The two-time All-GLIAC first team pick was a finalist for the 2018 Cliff Harris Award as one of the nation's top small college performers and is a highly-regarded NFL prospect. He became the first GLIAC defensive player to win the conference player and is the second-ever FSU defensive recipient, following in the footsteps of Bulldog legend Monty Brown.
This week, Edwards and the Bulldogs will host Central Missouri in the second round of the NCAA Division II
"They have a great offense, good team and play in a good conference," Edward said. "They're going to ring their A game. They'll give us their best."
Because Ferris had a bye the final game of the regular season and drew a first-round playoff bye from having the top regional seed, this marks the end of an unusual three-week break.
"It's great for your body," Edwards said. "You get time to fix kinks you had during the season and get stronger and faster. You get ready for the next team while other teams are grinding it out. It's a blessing."
Edwards doesn't fret over the possibility of poor weather.
"When the weather's bad, the offense will make more mistakes," he said. "Quarterbacks will lose the ball, running backs will fumble."

John Raffel is a Big Rapids native and has a B.S. degree from Ferris. He is an active member of the Lutheran Church.


So far, FudCon has been awesome. It was very good to finally meet Mike, and go over some of the outstanding issues in Smolt. We finally have a good technical solution, so that we know Smolt is secure.
Traditionally, Smolt would store a UUID on the local system. This would be used as a key to the smolts.org database, when sending updates or looking up host information. With this UUID, anyone could remove a profile from the database. Knowing who had which UUID, anyone can find out what hardware you have. This was inherently insecure.
Over the past couple of months, I was trying to think of a way to lock down that access to the person who had control of the local client. Ideally, PolicyKit will define who is allowed access to the functions provided by Smolt, such as submitting and deleting a profile. At bare minimum, this would be root-only, with the UUID lockdown and hidden via file permissions and SELinux. Ideally, this will all be controllable via Cobber, Func, and anything else you might want to use. Let's say you want to share your profile. Just ask the server for a link. Every UUID comes with a new snazzy public UUID that you can share with anyone you want. Don't like your pubic UUID? Just ask for a new one. You will need access through PolicyKit to get this public UUID too. In the end, there is no way someone can just trace a UUID back to you, unless you want them to.
I'll blog more about FudCon later, I'm enjoying a nice look at TurboGears, courtesy of Luke.

Q: Is an infinite loop impossible in nodejs? For some reason I'm trying to conceive a simple script that can retrieve tweets from a given twitter account and then make something with it (that's not really the relevant part). Following a friend's advice I tried to do it in nodejs. He helped me a little (gave me some code actually) and I managed to get something working. So if I want to retrieve all tweets from one user it works perfectly fine. But actually what I would like is to loop and check the new tweets. But when I wrap my code in a simple while(1) (and modify it as needed) it doesn't do anything. So here's my code :
var tweetFetcher = require('./tweetFetcher');
var codeExtractor = require('./codeExtractor');
var open = require('open');
var fs = require('fs');
var filters = [filter1, filter2];
var hasfirstpart = 0;
var code = "";
var tweets;
var i = 0;
while(1){
    tweets = tweetFetcher.getFrom('twitteraccount', function(tweets) {
        console.log(tweets[0]);
        if(tweets[0].indexOf(filters[hasfirstpart]) > -1){
            code += codeExtractor.extract(tweets[0]).substring(3);
            hasfirstpart = (hasfirstpart+1)%2;
            console.log(code);
        }
        if(hasfirstpart == 0 && code != ""){
            ...
        }
    });
}

var parser = require('cheerio');
var request = require('request');

exports.getFrom = function(username, cb) {
    var url = "http://twitter.com/"+username;

    request(url, function(err, resp, body) {
        var $ = parser.load(body);
        var tweets = [];
        $('.ProfileTweet-text').each(function() {
            tweets.push($(this).text());
        });

        if(typeof cb == 'function') {
            cb(tweets);
        }
    });
}

Do you have any idea why it cannot be wrapped in a loop ? Thanks in advance for your response :)

A: You can't use while (1) in node.js with IO operations, because it will block event loop and prevent all callbacks from being called. If you want to do something forever you need to use recursion instead:
function doThing () {
    tweetFetcher.getFrom('twitteraccount', function(tweets) {
        ...

        doThing();
    });
}

A: If you want to do this, I recommend using setInterval(function, time). You can stop the interval at any time by using clearInterval(unterval).

"The defense backed off, and I was open. I just hoped it would go in," Silvey said.
Silvey wasn't done. The Southern Illinois University Carbondale recruit then combined with Rachel Pranger to make seven free throws in the closing 90 seconds as the undefeated Tigers (30-0) captured their fourth straight sectional title.
The win lifts Edwardsville into the Illinois Wesleyan Super-Sectional at 7 p.m. Monday at the Sherk Center in Normal. The Tigers will take on two-time defending state champion Benet Academy.
Benet Academy, which had defeated Edwardsville in the super-sectional the past two years, defeated Plainfield East 59-48 at the East Aurora Sectional on Thursday.
Edwardsville started fast against the Rocks (31-2), which were looking for revenge after losing to Edwardsville in each of the past two sectional tournaments.
With Silvey scoring six of her 18 points and Kate Martin and Criste'on Waters scoring four points each, the Tigers led 18-10 after one quarter. That lead grew to 26-13 on a basket by junior Myria Noodel-Haywood with 3:40 left in the second quarter.
Edwardsville led 26-17 at halftime before the Rocks found their way in the third quarter.
Beal scored four points, and junior guard Chrislyn Carr hit a 3-point jumper as the Rocks closed the gap.
Beal picked up her fourth foul late in the quarter, and Haywood and freshman Quierra Love hit shots late in the period as the Tigers took a 32-29 lead heading into the final quarter.
Rock Island coach Thad Hoover said the Rocks played the way they have all year after a rough start.
Beal scored four points early in the fourth quarter. But Edwardsville, getting four free throws from Martin, managed to stay in front until Beal gave her team a lead that lasted for less than 20 seconds.
Carr had 22 points, and Beal added 20 for Rock Island.
Martin chipped in with eight points for Edwardsville, while Pranger and Waters added seven each.
