Video secrets for Movie Making on the iPhone for YouTube.
Get the inside look at exactly what it takes to produce videos on your iPhone, YouTube, or your website with Inside Look TV Producer Aprilanne Hurley.
Considering Executive Producer Aprilanne Hurley was producing videos on the internet before YouTube existed, you can be confidant this inside look at iPhone videos for the internet is the real deal. This is the first installation in what will be an ongoing topic of exploration you will find on Inside Look TV.
Movie making is fun. Whether you're producing a quick video with friends and family, want to express yourself, or promote a special cause, movie making with an iPhone video or smartphone video is a great way to get your videos on the internet. I especially like the iPhone feature that allows you to tweet and/or upload a video to YouTube right from your iPhone.
To help you make your iPhone video the best it can be, I am sharing my top video secrets revolving around video quality which includes lighting, sound, and content.
# 1. Content is King. Whether you are producing a short 1 minute video for the web, a 5 minute corporate video, or a longer piece such as a documentary, it is important to boil your movie presentation down to the essence of the message.
Getting right into your topic soon into the beginning of the video or movie is also critical, as your audiences' attention spans are not getting any longer. Viewers are bombarded daily with thousands of media options to watch on their iPhone or Smartphone, tablet or iPad, desk top or TV, etc., and if your video does not grab their attention and keep it…they will be clicking off to watch something different.
#2. Aim for the Best Production Values to include light and sound quality.
A word or two on using natural lighting: When using natural light, consistency is key. Shoot your video in all shade or all sunlight. Also, try to shoot your video either early morning or at the "golden hour" which is an hour or so before the sun sets. Videos shot under these conditions will produce the most flattering natural lighting, and eliminate the harsh shadows that come with video being shot mid-day with the sun overhead. Interestingly, overcast days make for great movie making and video lighting quality, as you do not have to fight and workout shadows caused by sunlight.
#3: iPhone Video Secrets come and go but this one is forever: Shoot to Edit.
When it comes to shooting video on your iPhone or Smartphone, less is more. We shot the 1 min 30 sec video above in one complete take. There are limitations on how long a clip can be to email it , tweet it, or post it to YouTube right from your iPhone, so aim to stay within a minute or so. This way, like in our example above, you will have an intro, content body, and close to your video – which will add to the professional delivery of your iPhone video.
Bottom line: Before you even pick up your iPhone or Smartphone to start recording, make sure you have a production plan in place, even for a 1 minute video. Sure you may not need to figure out the budget on a quick 1 minute video, yet to get the best results, the secret is to know who will be saying what and when. A story board, which is a physical drawing of what each shot will be and what will be said in each shot, can also be created in addition to the TV or movie script if the project requires this level of detail. Usually, when you are making short a movie on your phone, the storyboard step is not required.

Widow Wedding Ring – The widow spoke of her situation when she learned that the funeral did not have her husband's wedding ring before the waste. Christine McLean asked unconditionally if Malcolm's ring could make her son Ian annoying.
Seller Malcolm, 66, who was Eddie Ices, died on Friday, two months after being diagnosed with cancer. 71-year-old Christine, Southwick, announced that the ring is something that should happen if she meets TP Bradbury to mark an early Malcolm funeral that took place two weeks ago at Sunderland Crematorium after her death.
George Bradbury, president of the company, confirmed that he had pulled the tire after the request and stated that the employee was disciplined and then divorced. Christine, who was asked to demand a refund during the day, said, "I said," And the ring? On the day of the funeral, they told me to take it in a small bag. purple heart-shaped and I still had a lot of my head.
"I asked them if they had a Malcolm ring, but they were told they had forgotten to take it off." To be honest, I am totally angry because I'm sorry.
Bradbury said in his statement that he did not agree with Christina's description of his conversations at Malcolm's Day Funeral, but he found that they were very sad. He said: "For almost 135 years, we have been crushing people in Sunderland and the surrounding area, and during this time we received very few complaints.

Egypt political forces call for mass 'Eyes of Freedom' rally Friday
Rejection of President Morsi's new constitutional declaration will likely take centre stage in planned Friday protests commemorating last year's clashes on Mohamed Mahmoud Street
Osman El Sharnoubi, Thursday 22 Nov 2012
Protesters have been clashing with Egyptian security forces in Cairo since Monday, when the Mohamed Mahmoud commemorative demos had started, (Photo: AP).
Morsi declaration hailed by supporters, deemed 'coup' by opposition
Egypt's President Morsi expands power, defies judiciary with new declaration
English text of Morsi's Constitutional Declaration
Declaration 'aims to achieve revolutionary demands': Egypt Presidential spokesman
Egypt since Morsi's election
President Mohamed Morsi's Thursday constitutional declaration has prompted Egyptian political forces that had been planning to commemorate last year's Mohamed Mahmoud clashes with mass protests on Friday to fine-tune their demands.
Over 30 political groups had planned to take part in Friday's protests – dubbed 'Eyes of Freedom' in reference to the many protesters who lost eyes in the clashes – to articulate three main demands.
Those demands included the dismissal of Morsi's cabinet; prosecuting police officers responsible for killing and injuring protesters in the series of clashes that followed last year's Tahrir Square uprising; and a purge and restructuring of Egypt's national police force.
The president's new declaration, however, is likely to change the focus of Friday's planned protests.
"This is unacceptable; Morsi is preventing the judiciary from doing its job," said Emad Gad, political analyst and member of the Egyptian Social Democratic Party, which is planning to take part in Friday's planned rallies.
According to Thursday's constitutional declaration, the president's decisions cannot be overturned by any judicial authority. "The move amounts to a coup against the judiciary," Gad stated.
While the declaration also calls for the retrial of all those accused of killing and injuring "revolutionaries," Gad believes the phrasing is too general and will be used by the Muslim Brotherhood – the movement from which Morsi hails – to settle scores with traditional rivals.
The constitutional declaration also protects the Constituent Assembly (tasked with drafting a new constitution) and the Shura Council (the upper, consultative house of Egypt's parliament) from potential court rulings calling for their dissolution.
The Constituent Assembly has been severely criticised and suffered several withdrawals by members who object to its high proportion of Islamist-leaning representatives.
Morsi's decision is viewed by many as a move towards dictatorship. The declaration also limited the prosecutor-general term to four years which automatically brings the current prosecutor-general's tenure to an end.
"I'm sure the protests tomorrow will come out against the declaration, while also voicing the original demands," Gad told Ahram Online, adding that Morsi's Thursday move was likely to bolster public participation at the planned rallies.
Mosaab Shahrour, a member of the April 6 youth movement, agrees. "The mobilising power for Friday's protests will double," he said, adding that demonstrators were likely to focus chiefly on the new constitutional declaration. "Protesters will object to the idea of creating a new dictatorship," he said.
Mohamed Waked, founder of the National Front for Justice and Democracy (which plans to attend the Friday protests), says the move is certain to further stoke existing tensions between Islamists and their political adversaries.
"If a court is investigating a case, then something is wrong with it," he said, commenting on the lawsuit against the Constituent Assembly that might have deemed it unconstitutional.
"The declaration represents a pre-emptive measure aimed at preventing any potential ruling against the assembly," Waked asserted.
Asked whether plans for Friday's rallies would change, Waked said that participants would definitely address the constitutional declaration. He added, however, that the front's plans were still being discussed.
A joint statement by several parties and movements that were already planning to take part in Friday's rallies have called for mass protests against the declaration.
Signatories to the statement included the Constitution Party, the Social Democratic Party, the Free Egyptians Party, the Socialist Popular Alliance Party, the Democratic Front Party, the Egypt Freedom Party, the Egyptian Popular Current and the National Association for Change.
Protest marches have been planned to begin after noonday prayers from the Cairo districts of Mohandessin, Sayyeda Zeinab and Shubra. All of them will converge on Cairo's Tahrir Square.
Other groups that plan to participate include 6 April, the Kazeboon campaign, the Mosireen Media Collective, the 'No to Military Trials for Civilians' campaign, the Maspero Youth Union, the New Woman Foundation, the Youth for Justice and Freedom movement, and others.

For thousands of years yoga was, for the most part, practiced almost exclusively in the East. Fast-forward to the 21st century and, in less than two decades, yoga has spread to even the tiniest backwaters of all four corners of the world. You don't need to be an advanced yogi living in India to practice today. You'll find a class almost anywhere you care to drop a pin in a map. And as demand continues to grow, so too does the number of studios and the myriad of styles and practices on offer to bring out the yogi in all of us.
Carefully curated to bare the Seek Retreat stamp of approval, here are the few that managed to make it into our top ten.
Almost all the classes at Yoga Elements Studio are taught in English. Most are a mix of Vinyasa and Ashtanga. Its lofty location, on the 23rd floor of a downtown high-rise, makes dawn and dusk the best time to visit and enjoy the sunrise or sunset backdrop. Yoga Elements is run by Adrian Phillip Cox whose 20 years of experience and extensive expertise blends a deep understanding of disciplines including Ayurveda, meditation, philosophy, the mind and linguistics. He has mentored and inspired trainee instructors all over the world, hosted international conferences and continues to integrate a variety of disciplines and wisdom into his practice.
Yoga has been a part daily life in India for over 5,000 years. Setting the bar for yoga studios all over the world, it's perhaps no surprise that the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute is best suited to advanced yogis who are looking for a real challenge. Located in Mysore, Bangalore's stunning city of palaces and fountains, the institute is a favorite for foreigners who are serious about their yoga. Their classes focus on the AshtangaVinyasa discipline, which involves a fast-paced synchronization of breath and movement.
As well as being one of the most environmentally friendly cities in the world, Copenhagen is home to some of Scandinavia's best yoga studios – if you know where to look. Hamsa Yoga Studio (http://www.hamsayoga.dk/) is our favorite and is one of the only Scandinavian studios that teach Vinyassa yoga. It also offers workshops on advanced back-bending and Thai massage. The Danish modern and simplistic white décor is sparsely furnished but for 18th century wall paintings which make it surprisingly homely for a yoga studio. Classes can also be taught in English on request.
You may not think that the sprawling British metropolis famous for its Royals, historic landmarks, edgy fashion and afternoon tea would be a mecca for world-class yoga. But one trip to Triyoga (http://www.triyoga.co.uk/ ) , which now has four branches in London, was enough to convince us otherwise. With locations in Primrose Hill, Covent Garden, Chelsea and Soho, Triyoga is revered for its challenging classes and has earned itself a sterling reputation with Londoners and visitors alike. The class menu runs the gamut from Ashtanga yoga to restorative disciplines and Triyoga also offer holistic treatments such as acupuncture, naturopathy and massage. The Primrose Hill branch offers Pilates equipment sessions and has an organic café.
San Francisco is a city famous for hills, trams and its plethora of unique fascinating characters. Setting out to find a yoga studio that captured the diversity and spirit of San Francisco was our mission. Yoga Tree (http://www.yogatreesf.com/ ) with its comprehensive programs, teacher training and exciting schedule won hands down. With seven yoga studios across the city in Castro, Hayes Valley, Mission, Haight-Ashbury, Telegraph Hill, Marin and one further north in Sonoma their classes include Jivamukti, Iyengar, Vinyassa, Forrest, Mysore and Hatha Yoga and incorporate all kinds of creative classes including candlelit flow and restorative hot stone classes.
Los Angeles is often called the city of Angels because of its seemingly magical ability to turn dreams into a reality. So it's little wonder that you barely need to get in your car to find world-class yoga here. In fact we were so spoilt for choice in LA we literally couldn't choose a favorite – YogaWorks (http://www.yogaworks.com/ )serves as one of the city's staple and has multiple locations. Power Yoga (http://www.poweryoga.com/ ), a donation-based yoga studio in Santa Monica, is where Brian Kest continues to strive to make yoga accessible for everyone. Liberation Yoga (http://www.liberationyoga.com/ ) puts as much of an emphasis on the spiritual side of yoga as the physical – the good news here is, every newcomer's first class is free!
Even though yoga has experienced a huge upsurge in popularity in Italy over the last few years we still found it a challenge to find classes taught in English. Active since September 2005, Yoga Studio Milano (http://www.yogastudiomilano.it/ ) is the first school in Milan recognized by CONI and the Association of IYENGAR ® Yoga Light on Yoga Italy (http://www.iyengaryoga.it/ ). The practice is carried out according to the method of IYENGAR ® (http://www.yogastudiomilano.it/Metodo.html ) , which focuses intently on aligning the body and the symmetry of the positions. Every teacher at Yoga Studio Milan is authorized to teach the practice.
Paris may be the city of love, light and fashion but tucked away, in the shadows of Notre Dame (in the Fifth Arrondissement), you will find the quaint and quintessentially Parisian Rasa (http://www.rasa-yogarivegauche.com/ ). This well-kept secret is one of the most charming studios we visited – a peaceful haven with immaculate white walls, dark wood floors and slanted skylights that let the sun flood in. Vinyasa is the main focus here, but there are also classes in Ashtanga, Mysore and Yin.
Tokyo, known for its quirky fashion (think Hello Kitty), ancient traditions and the most exotic sushi you can find on the planet. And when it comes to yoga it has plenty to be proud of. BeYoga (http://www.rasa-yogarivegauche.com/ ), where classes are taught in both English and Japanese, stood head and shoulders above the rest for us, which is probably why it is filled with locals and expats alike. BeYoga instructors practice ISHTA(Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra, and Ayurveda) a yoga style founded in the 1960's by Alan Finger that emphasizes both alignment and asana.
Fabulous yoga, as with New York's fabulous food and fashion, isn't hard to come by in the Big Apple. Every practice and yoga style is represented here. We like ViraYoga (http://www.virayoga.com/ ), which was originally opened by Elena Brower as a downtown refuge for New York City yogis. Virayoga is an international hub for yoga and wellness and plays host to some of the world's most revered and respected teachers across a range disciplines including yoga, meditation, coaching and healing.
As with all our guides we are constantly striving to bring you the very best up-to-date information. Please feel free to comment below if you have a studio you would like to recommend or information that is relevant to the article above.


Recently, a close comrade of mine was recounting a story where he told a younger activist that, although he supported Tamil self-determination he did not whole-heartedly support the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) because their cultural-nationalist project resulted in the liquidation of numerous leftist Tamil groups (such as supporters of the Ceylon Communist Party (Maoist)). Unfortunately, the younger activist misunderstood the critique, taking it to mean that my comrade was somehow anti-Tamil self-determination and was incapable of understanding what he was trying to argue. Conversely, when many of us leftists argue that we support, for example, Hezbollah's resistance to Israeli imperialism we are often misunderstood as supporting Hezbollah's political project itself when this is often not the case.
This post was initially inspired by friend and comrade blogger Xtina's suggestion, from the Sophia Coppola post, that I write something about our mutual dislike of the Coen Brothers. And then, when my closest comrade of all time wrote a post about True Grit (along with the Coen Brothers, queerish things, and general awesomeness) in her new and what will prove to be amazing blog All Killer, I got all riled up to rant about these dudes and their dudish films.
When it comes to critically acclaimed American cinema, the movies of the Coen brothers are most often cited as contemporary examples of excellent film-making. Critics love these boys and there is more than one unofficial fansite dedicated to their supposed brilliance. And yet it is telling that the Coens' biggest fans––those who go on and on about their supposed genius––are male and those who do not enjoy their films, or at the very least just find them boring and annoying, are female.
Why Do These Stupid Books Sell?
I am always fascinated and frustrated by the North American mainstream public's willingness to buy and accept as authoritative "historical" books of dubious scholarship that popularize ruling class ideology. The reason these books are not treated with the suspicion they deserve, obviously, is because they are designed to reinforce what people are already taught to believe. These books masquerade as academic, as well-researched and expert, but they rarely fit the standards of academic feasibility and honesty. And yet they still become part of popular discourse, defended by laypersons who repeat, ad nauseaum, these books' claims and pour scorn on the qualified critics who raise questions.
Why is Sofia Coppola the Only "Feminist" Filmmaker Who Counts?
What is with all this hooplah surrounding Sofia Coppola? Now she's on the cover of Bust, interviewed by Kim Gordon as if she's some sort of feminist film-making icon. Clearly Gordon is a feminist icon (and if you don't agree with me on this I will never be your friend), but I am annoyed that we must accept Sofia Coppola, by virtue that she is a woman who makes films, as suddenly a feminist film-maker. Granted, Bust's feminism is rather limited and often tends to be about look-at-these-cool-women-doing-cool-things. Not that this approach is without merit, but it does allow them to promote people as "feminist" who are really not that feminist.
This post was motivated by a few concerns: a recent set of [always educative] conversations I had with my friend and comrade k. about identity politics versus marxism; a blog post by Ms. Marx about a heterosexist encounter; and a post on Workers Dreadnought about Sylvia Pankhurst. The connection to all three of these sources, with the exception of the first, might now seem tenuous since, typically lacking an overall plan, my entries tend to mutate three paragraphs into their creation. Generally this was inspired by my frustrations with a very privileged and very North American marxism that refuses to account (regardless of developments in marxist theory elsewhere since the Third International) for other oppressions (racism, colonialism and imperialism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, transphobia) outside of a very limited notion of class.
This is entry is inspired by a recent post on The Workers Dreadnought where the author briefly discussed, in the context of the arrest of Asit Sengupta, the unwillingness of North American communists to take the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism seriously.
A common adage amongst the North American left, whenever the topic of the end of capitalism is broached, is that there is no point in building towards revolution because revolution is impossible in the current climate. Thus, the best we can do is work with social democratic organizations to mitigate the misery of the oppressed classes. Or, better yet, if we're academic leftists, write more books about the evils of capitalism and the need for a revolution that could never happen in our lifetimes.


You may request a list of foods, nutrients or food groups. List requests are good for providing your users with a paged browse and select experience. For example, your application might allow users to select a food from a foods list to generate a Food Reports request.
Basically, you need to indicate the type of list you're requesting and the number of items you want returned on the list up to a maximum of 1500 items in a single request. You can also specify an offset (a zero-based start point) into a list for a paged experience.
Your api_key is the only required parameter to generate a list. With no other parameters the request will return 50 foods items sorted by food name beginning with the first item (0 offset) in JSON format.
The list response is very simple, consisting of some metadata about your request and a list of names and id's. The meaning of the name and id elements are dependent on the type of list requested in the lt parameter. If you have requested a list of foods, then the name element will refer to the name of the food and the id to the food's NDBno. For food groups lists, name references the name of the food group and id to the food group's unique id. And, for nutrients, name refers to the nutrient name and id to the unique id assigned to each nutrient in the database called nutrient_no.
These examples illustrate how to request a list of foods sorted by food name.

Q: Insert gif in Word 2013 It is possible to insert a img  gif and make it move inside a word document ?
Inserting a gif is possible but, it just shows the first img. I can't find the answer on google...

A: Word is for creating printed text documents. You might be better off using powerpoint, or creating a html page.
It's possible to extract all the layers out of a .gif file with a graphics editor such as photoshop, gimp or similar.
You could then save all your layers and paste them into your document and/or write some kind of macro that will display the images one after the other.
But I wouldn't recommend it, as anyone looking at your document would have to enable your macro.

A: GIF is not supported in Word from 2007 version onwards.
Source (archived)

A: *

*Keep the Gif into a power point slide.

*Save the slide

*And insert the slide into word document and save the document.

The Gif shall not animate within the document. When the image is clicked (in fact a PPT slide) it will animate outside the document.
This is the only work around for inserting Gif into word document which shall animate, of course as an independent object outside the doc file.

A: Simple answer; no, because Word is a word processor. You would have to save the document as an HTML file and view it in a browser for the animation to work.

Q: Cannot deploy my web application to remote location through MS build. This error comes up everytime I am working on a big enterprise environment. When i try to deploy my solution to remote sever using ms build i get this error every time i try to deploy the app.
According to the error message it says it cannot connect but i can ping to the ip. I have even added the host ip and names in both machines host files. I don't know if i am doing anything wrong has anyone come across this before.How did you overcome this?
Note: i have replaced my ip with myip.com... and site name as my site name in this question.(My app is Asp.net MVC 4 Application)

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets  (3847): Web   deployment task failed.(Could not complete the request to remote agent URL 'https://myip.com/msdeploy.axd?site=my site name'.) This error indicates that you cannot connect to the server. Make sure the service URL is correct, firewall and network settings on this computer and on the server computer are configured properly, and the appropriate services have been started on the server. Error details: Could not complete the request to remote agent URL 'https://myip.com/msdeploy.axd?site=my site name'. Unable to connect to the remote server A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established   connection failed because connected host has failed to respond myip.com

Any help will really be appriciated

A: The real error message is buried in the report, but it reads:

"Unable to connect to the remote server A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond myip.com"

This is a TCP connection problem, which means there's probably a simple solution.
It should be straightforward: it means the server you've specified is not operational. If you're certain that your website is currently working (i.e. you can get to it from your web-browser) then it means you've mistyped the server's name or other connection details. It does not mean that msdeploy.axd is having problems because if it were, your client would at least be able to connect.
Check your server's firewall rules, and also ensure that the web server (IIS) is running and is actively listening on the IP address you want (check the site bindings and also the server's network configuration, a dump of ipconfig /all would also be useful).

A: It was the issue with IIS it was not allowing remote connections. fixed it by allowing remote connections.

A: In my case it was due to the firewall setting of the host machine. Turning off firewall for local network fixed the problem


Climate change is anticipated to escalate flood impacts, and thus it is important to assess flood risk closely in terms of extent and location. This study aimed to assess present and future flood risks, particularly flood risk change, over the Asia-Pacific region with consideration of climate change impacts by using a topography-based analysis method. By analyzing the output of the super-high-resolution global atmospheric general circulation model, it was found that future flood risk will increase in response to extreme rainfall under climate change. Results of this study also indicated that flood risk will further increase in the far future (2075–2099) than in the near future (2015–2039). Analyses of inundation area and flood inundation depth (FID) also showed upward trends; most of flood plains in the Asia-Pacific region may experience a 0–50cm increase in FID.


Bulk Crap Uninstaller (also known as BCUninstaller), is a free, open source program uninstaller for Windows® OS. It is a powerful program capable of detecting and removing orphaned applications, clean leftovers, filter the program type (such as those that belong to Microsoft) and more.
It was designed as a tool for the tech users, but it can be easy enough to be understood and used by anyone. Bulk Crap Uninstaller will run on almost all Microsoft® Windows® OS.
- uninstall many programs fast, including the non-intrusive uninstallers.
- detect orphaned applications (programs without a working uninstaller).
- powerful startup manager included.
- it will reveal protected and invalid entries that are not shown in the standard operating system uninstaller.
- more features are listed on its official homepage here.
Note: When attempting to run the program you will be asked to choose between the "Standard" Installation and "Portable." Please keep in mind that you will need .NET framework installed on your machine if you wish to use the portable version of this program. If .NET Framework is not available; it will be installed on your Windows machine.
If you have any additional concern related to the .NET framework, check this official blog post from Microsoft® which explains what version each OS comes included with.
When installing Bulk Crap Uninstaller, there is a setup wizard which I found it useful as it explains the most important features of this program, so I advise you not to skip this.
Bulk Crap Uninstaller interface might intimidate you when opening the program for the first time. It certainly doesn't look like the standard program removal that comes included with each Microsoft® Windows® OS. There's a lot of options included but don't let them discourage you as you are not forced to use them.
I remember I tested once a similar (paid) app named Revo Uninstaller and frankly, the interface looks closer to what Microsoft® Windows® OS shows; its interface looks more polished, and all options are intuitive, but that is another discussion.
- various info: publisher name, product code, registry key/path, etc.
This kind of info is precious, and it is a shame that it isn't already included in Windows® OS. For example, you can quickly identify malware or any adware trying to impersonate legit applications.
Bulk Crap Uninstaller is complex, but as the author explained, this program was primarily designed for advanced users.
If you are a newbie, I advise you to check the setup wizard. If you missed it, start the program, click on the "Help" tab from the up-right menu and choose "Start setup wizard."
Otherwise, if all you wish to is to remove an individual app, just open the program interface, select the desired app you want to remove, perform a right-click and choose "Uninstall." That's it; you can use the program just like any other basic uninstaller.
Note: For individual Windows® apps (e.g. Messenger) that you wish to uninstall, a third party window might open and ask you to confirm Y/N. You will have to type "Y" and press "ENTER," otherwise the app won't be removed; for certain programs, the human interaction is required.
If you are an advanced user, I would say this program looks exactly like the comparison between the old "Task Manager" that comes included with almost any Microsoft® Windows® version and other more advanced apps such as Process Hacker and System Explorer.
Bulk Crap Uninstaller is the "Uninstall" tool on steroids that should've been included by default in Microsoft® Windows®. I came to this conclusion by opening the "Add or Remove Programs" section in Microsoft® Windows® XP and "Programs" in Microsoft Windows® 10. All I did was to run all of them side by side and compare them (along with several other free programs such as "CCleaner" that offer similar capabilities).
It is amazing that such software exists and surprisingly is being released for free when there are so many paid alternatives. Therefore the best way to show your support for Bulk Crap Uninstaller author is to make a donation for his amazing work.


For 4,000 years farmers have been growing food the traditional way, true many people died of infectious diseases and accidents but the survivors lived to a ripe old age and were fit and healthy working in the fields into their eighties and nineties.
This is well documented in the classic book Farmers of Forty Centuries written in 1910 and it is still possible to go to the remote area of China and see agriculture as it has been practised for centuries.
Then after WW2 there was a transformation in agriculture to make it more 'efficient' and certainly we produce more food than ever but it has not been a clear success.
We now have the worst epidemic of chronic diseases ever, we are fatter, suffer from diabetes, strokes, heart attacks, dementia and others chronic diseases.
This is a totally new phenomena - there must be something right about a system which lasted for 4,000 years and resulted in a population of over a billion people without the modern health epidemic.
So what has gone wrong and more to the point what can be done about it?
That was a question Colin Austin asked when his wife Xiulan got diabetes, started to loose her eye sight, fell down a flight of stairs and after a successful operation to fix her bones her foot started to turn black and the doctors started talking about amputation.
Become a blind cripple and probably dying young from a heart attack is motivation enough to create action.
Colin was an early pioneer in the computer revolution and built up Australia's leading exporter of technical software - a multi-million dollar company recognised as a world leader in its field of highly sophisticated computer simulation software.
What was Colin's conclusion? Many billions of dollars had been spent on agricultural research - largely by mega multi-nationals. But the aim was to improve the profitability of these mega corporations - not the health of the people.
The result - food which is high in sugar and fats, full of toxins but missing essential micro-nutrients. But the toxins are also destroying the soil on which society depends. Killing the people and destroying the soil so a few rich people can get even richer is not a smart society.
Our guts are very clever and sense the lack of micro-nutrients leading to food cravings so we eat more sugary fatty food and end up fat or worse diabetic.
Even worse those toxic chemicals attack our intelligent guts which control our digestion.
So - Colin asked - what would happen if he applied the same level of technology as he used in his computer simulation but with the single aim of producing food which would make people healthy again.
The result was the Gbiota system in which essential trace minerals are incorporated into a compost tea and circulated though the root zone of growing plants.
Again - using the technology of mixing plants - as occurs in nature - these toxic chemicals which do so much harm to our bodies can be avoided.
Avoiding toxins and using compost to recycle waste organics regenerates our soils so we may have a society in another four thousand years - now thats a smart society.
We need a better food system - we've got the technology now we need to make it available.
Xiulan, fortunately a qualified doctor, now with a revised healthy diet, has her health back but how to make the technology available to the billion or so people suffering a chronic disease and the other billions who have no desire to become a medical statistic.
Great technology but how to make this available to the public - particularly in a system tightly controlled by mega companies with almost infinite amounts of money and power to control the market.
Again with his software background Colin saw the answer in a system where ordinary people could commission farmers to use the Gbiota system to custom grow plants and herbs which have been used for centuries because of their reputed health giving benefits.
Just like the traditional farmers market the internet links the grower and the consumer together.
Farmers want to use regenerative agriculture to ensure their farms are sustainable and people want to eat food which will make them healthy.
Who wants to be a blind crippled diabetic waiting to die from a premature heart attack when you can simply eat healthy traditional food.

Wicked, late 70's roots killers, with Delgado's 'Storm Is Coming' and it's subsequent dub version 'Cry Of The Destitute Version'… Riding those spring-reverbed snares and hi-hats with a turbulent bassline. Seriously authentic JA rastaman sounds right here.
Flip the disc, and 'Warrior Nuh Tarry Ya' awaits, with Delgado channeling some Jacob Miller style bounce on the vocal, including sliding guitars and bumpy horns. Upful, jazz-indebted roots, followed by a deejay cut with Ras Bug on the microphone, and a stripped version… Part 3 style!
Excellent record. Yes it's a bit pricey, but then it does beat the much-more-crazy prices this disc is getting in 2nd hand markets!


Special Effects. This gorgeous band is made from pure titanium overlayed with two types of resin. Solid black-sheen resin is offset by a brilliant Blue Opalescent overlay. A matching anodized interior only magnifies the blue depths of this beautiful band.


The Elie Saab woman is probably unaccustomed to walking on soil, and in flat explorer boots, no less. So maybe it was apropos that a few models in his spring couture show tripped on the earthen runway.
Stumbles aside, this was an exceptional outing for Saab. His Indian theme added an exotic tinge to his sparkly gowns and cocktail dresses, swags of fabric over-the-shoulder telegraphing the gesture of a sari. It was also unleashed a torrent of new elements, including silky pants, spangled salwar-kameez ensembles, and breezy dusters.
Even if the boots were luxe, long tinsel lapping at their tongues, Saab summoned a transporting mood of turn-of-the-century adventurers, rigging his young models with leather map tubes and binocular cases. They kicked up the dust in the steamy show venue, with its backdrop of potted palms.
The show notes referenced Lilah Wingfield, an Anglo-Irish noblewoman who recorded her travels to Delhi and Udaipur in 1911, when Victorian silhouettes were yielding to the Edwardian period. Saab's opening looks, with ruffled high necks, tight sleeves and tiers of frothy lace, recall the photo of Winfield in the show program, a small hawk perched on her wrist.
They were lovely, and exemplified Elie Saab's knack for veiling the body with dense, yet delicate ornamentation. Forgetting short interludes of mother-of-the-bride blues, this show cast a spell with its pale shades of blush, clotted cream and antique silver.
Rising model Lineisy Montero looked ravishing in a simple, cap-sleeved gown in that metallic shade, proving that Saab's formula of flattering color, form-fitting shapes and delicate spangling are a safe bet on a red carpet, a gleaming parquet - or even a patch of dirt.

Ушилу (или Эр Ушилу (полное тронное имя , коротко , личное имя ) — шаньюй хунну с 105 года до н. э. по 102 год до н. э.. Сын Увэя. Был «склонен к буйству и войне», удачно, но недолго воевал против У-ди.

Правление
Вступив на престол, откочевал на северо-запад. Приказал переместить хуннские войска, направив их на западе против Цзюцзюаня и Дуньхуана, на востоке против Юньчжуна. Китай отправил два посольства: одно к шаньюю, другое к Чжуки-князю. Шаньюй приказал всех доставить к нему и догадался, что выражение соболезнований только прикрытие, а истинная цель — поссорить шаньюя с чжуки-князем. Все послы были задержаны.

У-ди отправил Ли Гуанли эршинского завоевать Давань, а инцзянь цзянцзюню Гань Суньао было приказано возвести пограничную крепость Шоусянчэн. Хунну ослабли из-за холода и падежа скота, и знать опасалась, что воинственный Ушилу начнёт войну не вовремя. Великий восточный Дуюй решил убить шаньюя и запросил поддержки у Китая. В 103 году У-ди отправил в Шоусянчэн Чжао Пону с 20 000 конницы. Пройдя 1000 км, войска узнали о раскрытии заговора и повернули обратно. Шаньюй казнил дуюя и направил 80 000 конницы против Пону, который был окружён в 200 км от Шоусянчэна. Корпус был истреблён, Чжао Пону пленён.

Ушилу пытался взять Шоусянчэн, но хунну не умели брать крепости, поэтому совершили набег по границам. В 102 Ушилу вновь осадил Шоусянчэн, но заболел и умер.

Q: IPC using unnamed Pipes First off, Hello and thanks for your help!
I'm trying to get an understanding of IPC with unnamed pipes. Specifically, I'm going to be communicating with Maxima to expand an input that was grabbed from stdin and sent to the input Maxima and then that output is sent to stdout. So simply read input from stdin send it to the child and then write the output to stdout. Currently, I've gotten it to output:

Input ">(x+2)^2"
(%o2) x^2+4x+4

which is correct, but there is a newline between the input and output which shouldn't be there and the (%o2) comes from the Maxima formatted output, so that also should not be there.
I guess my question now comes to two things:
1) How do I fix my output so that it is formatted without the trailing newline and the output indicator?
2) What about the following code can I fix? What can I make better? and Why? (My code is not yet near completion because I have another segment I wish to write)
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <string>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <iostream> // cin, cout
#include <signal.h>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
    pid_t pid;
    int status;
    int count;
    int fpipe[2];
    string start = "display2d:false$expand("; string end = ");"; string inp, sent;
    string quit = "quit();";
    string buffer;

    if(pipe(fpipe)){cerr<<"Pipe Failure" << endl; exit(1);}
    if((pid = fork()) < 0){ cerr<<"Fork Failure"<<endl; exit(2);}
    if(pid == 0){ // child process
        close(0); // close stdin
        dup(fpipe[0]); // copy stdin
        close(fpipe[1]);
        execlp("maxima", "maxima", "-q", (char*)0);
        read(fpipe[0], (void*)buffer.c_str(), buffer.length());
        cout << buffer << "   1" << endl;
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

    }
    else{
         if(argc == 1){ // parent process
        //close(fpipe[0]);
        close(1); // close stdout
        //dup(fpipe[1]); // redirect stdout
        while(1){
        cout << ">";
        cin >> buffer;
        if(buffer == "quit"){
            break;
        }
        buffer = start+buffer+end+'\n';
        int dp = write(fpipe[1], buffer.c_str(), buffer.length());
        //cout << buffer << endl;
        waitpid(getpid(), &status, 0);
        }
        }
        else if(argc > 1){ // just do it for # of argc

        }
}
return 0;}

Sample input and output

Axwell /\ Ingrosso - This Time
Picking up where their essential summer hit 'Sun Is Shining' left off, the iconic Swedish duo return to their renowned club roots with vocal work courtesy of Pusha T and the familiar sample work of their own vocal hit 'Something New'. In a bid to help the children affected by the on-going refugee catastrophe, the duo has pledged all net profits from the track to UNHCR, an organization helping refugees unable to return to their homes.
The #THISTIME initiative was launched in Amsterdam surrounding the duo's sold-out appearance at Heineken Music Hall for ADE, and as detailed in the film, the streets of the city were taken over by Axwell /\ Ingrosso crows singing the duo's forthcoming single in bird song. The '/\' symbol represents coming together, with the crows representing the voice of hope which both artists look to support. The pledge invites fans to be part of a change that will allow those affected across the globe the chance to get to a safe and loving place.

RAAF welcomes new P-8A Poseidon to fleet
strike & air combat | 14 December 2019 | Reporter
Defence Minister Linda Reynolds and Defence Industry Minister Melissa Price have officially welcomed the latest P-8A Poseidon aircraft to Australia.
Minister Reynolds said the cutting-edge anti-submarine and maritime surveillance aircraft will enhance Australia's maritime security.
The P-8A Poseidon incorporates the latest maritime surveillance and attack capabilities, providing the government with enhanced flexibility to support multiple operations.
"This is the 12th Poseidon to join the fleet, since the first arrived in Canberra on 16 November 2016. The aircraft can be refuelled while flying by tanker aircraft such as Australia's KC-30A, making it possible to patrol Australia's isolated Southern Ocean territories," Minister Reynolds said.
The P-8A Poseidon is designed for long-range anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface warfare; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. It is capable of broad-area maritime and littoral operations. It is also effective for humanitarian and search and rescue missions.
Minister Reynolds added, "The aircraft can be refuelled while flying by tanker aircraft such as Australia's KC-30A, making it possible to patrol Australia's isolated Southern Ocean territories.
"The P-8A is already providing significant operational support to Australia, including a recent mission to the Middle East region on Operation MANITOU as part of the International Maritime Security Construct."
Minister Price said the government was investing heavily in South Australia to support P-8A operations.
"This has provided a boost to defence industry and created more than 120 jobs for South Australians. This has provided a boost to defence industry and created more than 120 jobs for South Australians," Minister Price said.
The aircraft has advanced sensors and mission systems, including a state-of-the-art multi-role radar, high definition cameras, and an acoustic system with four times the processing capacity of the AP-3C Orions.
The P-8A is built specifically as a military aircraft. It is based on the proven commercial designs of Boeing's 737-800 fuselage, but has been substantially modified to include:
A weapons bay;
Under wing and under fuselage hard points for weapons; and
Increased strengthening for low level (down to 200 feet) operations and high angle turns.
A derivative of the 737-800 Next Generation, the P-8 combines superior performance and reliability with an advanced mission system that ensures maximum inter-operability in the future battlespace.
The P-8A aircraft has an extensive communications system including radios and data links across VHF, UHF, HF and SATCOM. An internal fuel capacity of almost 34 tonnes allows the P-8A to conduct low level anti-submarine warfare missions at a distance of greater than 2,000 kilometres from base. The P-8A will be compatible for air-to-air refuelling with the KC-30A MRTT.
Australia has committed to purchasing 12 P-8A Poseidon aircraft, which will replace the ageing fleet of P-3C Orion aircraft. Australia's first aircraft arrived in Canberra on 16 November 2016, with the remaining 11 aircraft to be delivered by March 2020. IOC for the first eight P-8As is scheduled for the period 2017-2020.

Spice Girls Posters
Spice Girls poster - "Spice up your Life" - Original Large 60"x40"
Geri Halliwell poster - Spiceworld. Original Large 60"x40"
Spice Girls poster - Backin' Britain - Original Large 60"x40"
Spice Girls poster - "Spiceworld" - Original Large 60"x40"
Spice Girls poster - "Stop" - Original Large 60"x40"
Spice Girls posters include Baby Spice, Posh Spice, Sporty Spice, Scary Spice and Ginger Spice collectively know as the Spice Girls.
The Spice Girls released their debut album 'Spice' on the 19th September 1996 becoming the best-selling album by a female group in history, selling over 30 million copies.
Our posters for Mel B, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Melanie C and Geri Halliwell followed up with the album 'Spiceworld' selling over 20 million copies worldwide.
The Spice Girls posters were signed to Virgin Records and released their debut single "Wannabe" in 1996 which reached number one in 37 countries and commenced their global success.
In May 1998, Halliwell left the Spice Girls and the group continued as a four-piece. Their only album without Halliwell, Forever, was released in November 2000 and achieved comparatively disappointing sales of four million copies.
At the end of 2000, the Spice Girls posters began an indefinite hiatus to concentrate on their solo careers but insisted that they were not splitting. Since then, the group has reunited for two concert tours, the Return of the Spice Girls (2007–2008) and Spice World (2019), both of which won the Billboard Live Music Award for the highest-grossing engagements of their respective years.
The Girls have sold 90 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling girl group of all time, one of the best-selling artists, and the biggest British pop success since the Beatles.
The group received a number of awards, including 5 Brit Awards, 3 American Music Awards, 4 Billboard Music Awards, 3 MTV Europe Music Awards and 1 MTV Video Music Award.
In 2000, they became the youngest recipients of the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. According to Rolling Stone, "Ginger, Posh, Baby, Sporty and Scary were the most widely recognised group of individuals since John, Paul, George and Ringo of The Beatles.
The Spice Girls posters came about after Bob and Chris Herbert, the father-and-son duo of Heart Management, decided to create a girl group to compete with the boy bands who dominated the UK pop music scene at the time. Together with financier Chic Murphy, they envisioned an act comprising "five strikingly different girls" who would each appeal to a different type of audience.
In February 1994, Heart Management placed an advertisement in the 'The Stage' asking for singers to audition for an all-female pop band at London's Danceworks studios. Approximately 400 women attended the audition on 4 March 1994, during which they were placed in groups of 10 and danced a routine to "Stay" by Eternal, followed by solo auditions in which they were asked to perform songs of their own choosing.
After months of auditions, Victoria Adams, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell were selected as the five members of the Spice Girls.
All of our Spice Girls posters are 100% original promotional posters from the 1990's which have been carefully preserved and exclusive to us at The Original Poster Shop.


Here it is. You know it is coming. Take time today to register for our all church getaway over Memorial Weekend as we help Covenant Pines (our camp!) in MacGregor get ready for summer. The dates are May 24-26. Don't delay!


The Leonard Independent School District is located east of State Highway 121 on U.S. Highway 69, approximately 35 minutes from McKinney in Southwest Fannin County. It is located in a beautiful area of farms and ranches among gently rolling hills. The school system is experiencing gradual growth and has been able to adequately plan for this without disrupting the educational process.
The district has many educational opportunities including programs for gifted students, athletics, career/technology and vocational educational offerings, dual credit, BETA Club, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). The district has an excellent fine arts program including music in the elementary and intermediate school. The intermediate school has an active honor choir. Students can participate in the outstanding band program beginning in junior high school and continuing through high school. Students also have the opportunity to participate in choir at the high school level as part of our music program. A large percentage of students participate in the extra-curricular and co-curricular opportunities afforded them in Leonard ISD schools.
The school district is made up of four campuses including Leonard Elementary School, Leonard Intermediate School, Leonard Junior High School and Leonard High School. Leonard Elementary has received one of the top two ratings given by the Texas Education Agency now for seven consecutive years and was named an "Exemplary" campus once again in the 2010 and 2011 school year. The campus has also earned several Commended Performance awards in math, reading, and attendance as well as has been named a Title 1 Distinguished Performance School during this time. A concerted effort has been made to keep the student-to-teacher ratio low, enabling teachers, students and parents to develop excellent relationships in promoting an outstanding education.
Campuses have parent involvement groups including PTL, Band Boosters, Leonard Athletic Association and Career and Vocational Booster Club. Parents are welcome and encouraged to become involved in their children's educational programs. We encourage you to visit the school website and learn more about the excellent experience your children can have by enrolling in Leonard ISD. The Leonard Independent School District strives to have an active partnership with parents in the education of their children. You will have the opportunity to participate in many areas of your children's school. We seek volunteers and encourage cooperative visits mapping out strategies and methods that work with unique and varied abilities and interests.
There is a family environment in Leonard that is supported by cultural events, civic organizations, active churches and wholesome surroundings. The City of Leonard downtown area has a beautiful city square with city offices and US Post Office located in the center. The streets are made of red brick, reminding one of an earlier era. Many buildings have unique store fronts, some dating from the turn of the century. Many have been restored and several businesses make their homes around the city square. The Leonard Library is also located on the city square. The city provides an ample supply of clean water and other services. The city government and Chamber of Commerce are progressive and forward thinking in planning for the future of Leonard, and in ensuring that the city continues to improve. The city has two public parks that include athletic fields, walking trails, and playgrounds.
Leonard has many festivals during the year.

IN FOCUS: LAKE WORTH
New housing designed for artists
Kevin D. Thompson
Lake Worth officials dig the ceremonial dirt for the groundbreaking for The Art Lofts of West Village, a live-work, affordable townhome community for artists. CONTRIBUTED BY NEIGHBORHOOD RENAISSANCE
The term "starving artist" may be a cliché, but it's also very real.
For many, paying rent or a mortgage and shelling out money for a studio space is often a recipe for financial disaster.
That is where the live-work art community concept comes in.
Several cities nationwide, including Lake Worth, are building affordable subsidized housing for artists to both live and create.
"Artists like to do everything in one central location," said Chris Dabros, deputy director of the Lake Worth Community Redevelopment Agency. "There are so many creative-minded people in the city who make a living through the arts."
Not only that, a live-work artist development often creates a sense of community, a place where artists can connect and feel like they belong.
The CRA, along with Neighborhood Renaissance, an economic development agency, recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Art Lofts of West Village, an eight-town-home development on the northeast corner of Lucerne Avenue and North F Street designed specifically for working artists in the heart of downtown Lake Worth.
The 2,000-square-foot units feature a ground floor studio space and an upstairs living space. The homes sell for $245,000, which, to some, may sound pricey considering they are for low and moderate income artists.
"It's market value," Dabros said. "There are similar townhomes in the area going for more than $300,000. This area is less because it's west of Dixie Highway."
The price could be reduced if Neighborhood Renaissance gets additional money from Palm Beach County, said Terri Murray, Neighborhood Renaissance's executive director.
The group is scheduled to go before county commissioners next month, Murray added.
Construction is scheduled to start in the next few weeks, according to Michael Pecar, director of real estate development for Neighborhood Renaissance.
The $3.2 million project should be completed by February, Pecar said. The project is partially funded by the CRA through a grant from the National Stabilization Program.
The Art Lofts joins The Urban Lofts, 12 live-work lofts that were built across the street for $3.5 million four years ago.
The 21,000-square-foot Art Lofts site, which once housed a Palm Beach County Health Department building, will also include a 2,000-square-foot commercial space that can fit up to three businesses, Joan Oliva, CRA director told The Palm Beach Post last year.
She said the CRA is looking for arts-related businesses or a coffee or bookshop to fill those spaces.
As for the lofts, there are requirements for purchase.
For starters, you must be someone who makes a living off the arts. You could be a painter, a sculpture, an orchestra conductor. It doesn't really matter. The criteria is broad, but you must be able to show a body of work that demonstrates you're a working artist.
That work will be reviewed by a selection committee. "There is some subjectivity involved," Dabros said.
There are also income requirements.
According to Pecar, one person can't earn more than $60,480 annually. For a two-person household, that figure is $69,120 and for three persons its $77,760.
So far, Pecar has said Neighborhood Renaissance, the community's owner and developer, received about 25 applications.
The CRA believes that number will only increase as the project moves forward. "There will be a lot more interest once people see the dirt being moved and the buildings start to go up," Dabros said.
Pecar believes both communities can have a domino effect on the area known for its blight.
"Hopefully more developers will come and start building more homes," Pecar said.
As Murray noted, when the Art Lofts are complete, there will be more feet on the ground, more activity in the area.
"All of that supports business development," Murray said.

The Arab Spring Between a Ballot and the Bullet
Published February 9, 2012 February 11, 2012 by Socal Moslem in Affad Shaikh
Black History Month- a lens of analysis for the Arab Spring
February is Black History Month here in the US. Its an opportunity for Americans to give special attention to the contributions of Black Americans to our country. You might wonder whats the purpose of it? I will leave the answer for another post, here I want to focus on one of my favorite Black History leaders and how he would observe the world today- Malcolm X.
Malcolm is an fascinating figure for me because he embodies the transformative nature of man. We get leaders who, as Chris Matthews presents it, should be "thinking adults" fully formed and grounded and to an extent infallible. But leaders aren't born that way. They get to a point where they are recognized as leaders, but we don't really see what the process was for them, in terms of their intellectual and psychological process, until we read about their lives in a biography. I feel we tend to idolize our leaders in a wholly unnatural way (and Islamically speaking shirk fashion) so that it prevents us from seeing their faults and their weaknesses and appreciating their struggle with that aspect of human nature. Malcolm's appeal to me, when seen from this perspective, is that removed from his Blackness and his religion, he was a person who was changing, developing and critically examining himself in a way that was publicly visible. His most famous speech given during that time of public change, or as Marable calls it- "reinvention"- actually frames my presentation of the idea that the Arab Spring pits us between two simple choices as Malcolm laid them- The Ballot or the Bullet (which is ranked as the 7th most influential speech in the US, out of a 100).
Malcolm gave the "Ballot or the Bullet" speech to an audience at the Cory Methodist Church in Michigan on April 3, 1964, right after his public split with the Nation of Islam. In the speech he explicitly presented that this was the direction that the Black civil rights movement needed to take- to secure voting rights for Blacks in America- or else the only choice left would be to take up arms to protect the security of the 22 million Black Americans that lived in the US in 1964. When reading this post I would like you to bare in mind that I take some liberties in comparing the Black American experience in the US in 1964 with the experience of various Arab populations, also I am assuming that the Arab protest movements central call is political engagement which for me translates into electoral politics, i.e. the vote that counts.
A Ballot is Like a Bullet
I find it ironic that Muslims in the West are supportive of the political engagement being sought by the Arab masses, yet the issue of voting and civic engagement in politics is contentious or at best fragmented, leaning toward apathy. But anyone who respects Malcolm would find that he was very much supportive of the idea of political involvement and specifically the fight to get the right to vote (Man, how we take things for granted today), and the Black Civil Rights movements rallying call by 1964, was to push for full rights, dignity and integration in the US by securing the unfettered right to vote. The ballot box in their eyes represented a source for ultimate power shift, a means to inflict a crushing defeat to Jim Crow and segregation. Voting was a powerful tool, one that would transform the lives of the average Black person in America. Today, the ballot is seen with great skepticism and disdain, but, even today people in the world are dying to have that simple right. Here's a excerpt to frame the discussion:
These 22 million victims [Blacks] are waking up. Their eyes are coming open. They're beginning to see what they used to only look at. They're becoming politically mature. They are realizing that there are new political trends from coast to coast. As they see these new political trends, it's possible for them to see that every time there's an election the races are so close that they have to have a recount. They had to recount in Massachusetts to see who was going to be governor, it was so close. It was the same way in Rhode Island, in Minnesota, and in many other parts of the country. And the same with Kennedy and Nixon when they ran for president. It was so close they had to count all over again.
"No, I am not American" but rather part of the 22 million people who are "victims of Americanism." He frames himself as a victim- "I'm speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of the victim. I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare."- suggesting that something basic is lacking in what makes him a victim and what entitles "everything that came out of Europe" as American was the right to vote. In Malcolm's eyes being born in the US didn't privilege Blacks with the vote, they were effectively disfranchised by Jim Crow legislation, and not having the power to repeal the legislation or to send people to speak for their interests perpetuated the second class status of Blacks in America. In my perspective, I feel Malcolm saw that as the foundation pillar holding up the racist double standards of American society.But in Malcolm style he warned that if the right to vote was not secured for Blacks, by the United States government, there would be consequences because for Blacks the ballot represented a metaphorical bullet that is "thrown when you see a target, and if that target is not within your reach, you keep your ballot in your pocket." Malcolm's metaphor portrayed his sophisticated understanding of what the right to vote could mean to the Black community. He envisioned the transformative nature of the vote on the Black psyche and its ability to shift power to a group of people who had no power.
What does this mean? It means that when white people are evenly divided, and Black people have a bloc of votes of their own, it is left up to them to determine who's going to sit in the White House and who's going to be in the dog house.
To Malcolm the bullet was just another weapon in his toolbox to arm the disenfranchised, abused and segregated community. If Malcolm were alive today he would recognize the importance of the Arab popular uprising not as a means of ousting the regimes, but rather as a means of shifting the power to those who are most oppressed by franchising them. By holding a population responsible for their own fate, as Malcolm described it in his speech, the resulting political maturity would give control over their lives, their economy and their communities and root out the vices that plagued the Black community at the time. Malcolm's espousal of Black Nationalism is in essence the desire of the Arabs that is being expressed in the streets- their ability and right to exert control over their own affairs.
In fact Malcolm points out in his speech that the ballot means freedom, which he shows through his example of the UN, where four nations- poor and dark skinned- can get together with their "voting power and keep the rich nations from making a move. They have one nation- one vote, everyone has an equal vote…and when the brothers from Asia, and Africa and the darker parts of this earth get together, their voting power is sufficient to hold Sam in check. Or Russia in check…So, the ballot is most important."
The Ballot Appeasement
In Morocco we see how the recognition of the King of this desire staved off the types of mass movement protest that rocked the rest of the Arab world. On Feb. 20, 2011, Moroccans took to the streets to demonstrate (like the spark in Tunisia and Egypt- a youtube video) against the crippling poverty (15% of the population lives off of $2 a day), soaring unemployment and substandard living. King Mohammed VI moved quickly to placate the protesters by offering constitutional reforms and calling early elections- the ballot appeasement. The elections brought in the the Justice and Development Party (a Islamic leaning political party) but nothing has changed, in fact, things have gotten worse.
In the placating gesture the King gave people the ballot, yet retained the authority to veto any law he wished, without reason and also preserved the status quo of the political and business elites, namely himself. Now on a weekly basis there have been protests in Morocco, namely by college graduates (watch the grisly video of 5 unemployed graduates who lit themselves on fire on January 19th, 2012). Unlike Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen (as well as Syria) last years protest weren't to destroy the system, but rather to shake it up by seeking a electoral power shift in who controls the fate of the nation and individual lives.
Malcolm rightly criticized this idea of "feeling fulfilled" in getting something that already belonged to you, he said tot he crowd:
Whenever you're going after something that belongs to you, anyone who's depriving you of the right to have it is a criminal. Understand that. Whenever you are going after something that is yours, you are within your legal rights to lay claim to it. And anyone who puts forth any effort to deprive you of that which is yours, is breaking the law, is a criminal. And this was pointed out by the Supreme Court decision. It outlawed segregation.
In Morocco this ballot appeasement is a failure on the King's part because he's given something that was already rightly owed to the people of Morocco. The failure of the process to gain results would inevitably lead to, what Malcolm would refer to as the need to seek out alternative weapons. Here the streets and self emulation present the escalation, however the next confrontation could be pronounced and specific — against the monarchy itself, much like that in Bahrain and Syria- however, for Morocco that step could be fatal in that the ballot option has run its course leaving the option of civil disobedience bordering blatant attack on the monarchy as an institution and authority.
Casting the Bullet
Malcolm was a controversial figure from the get go because of his hard stance on having all options on the table, but more specifically for calling the "peaceful civil disobedience" option as ineffectual. Most people listening would rightly then assume that Malcolm only advocated for one option- violence. But in "Ballot or Bullet" Malcolm spelled out the nuances in his argument and presented a fairly sophisticated analysis to human nature and a critical attack on democracy in America.
"You don't have anybody putting blocks in your path but people who are a part of the government. The same government that you go abroad to fight for and die for is the government that is in a conspiracy to deprive you of your voting rights, deprive you of your economic opportunities, deprive you of decent housing, deprive you of decent education. You don't need to go to the employer alone, it is the government itself, the government of America, that is responsible for the oppression and exploitation and degradation of black people in this country. And you should drop it in their lap. This government has failed the Negro. This so-called democracy has failed the Negro. And all these white liberals have definitely failed the Negro."
Malcolm reasoned that if the Blacks were denied the right to cast the ballot, the existing conditions within America where an "African from Africa" is treated with indifference and "Negro child of a former slave" lives a life below a second class citizen, there was little room to negotiate. He also astutely observed that there were elements in the Black community who were now unwilling to "turn the cheek" especially if the government was "unwilling or unable to defend the lives and the property of Negroes,African-Americans should defend themselves.""- in essence Malcolm was tapping into a large unacknowledged reservoir of Black sentiment- like the Arab street, except this was America's Black ghetto's. Malcolm expresses this passionately when he was relating to his own visceral reaction to violence against himself or his family:
"But when you drop that violence on me, then you've made me go insane, and I'm not responsible for what I do. And that's the way every Negro should get. Any time you know you're within the law, within your legal rights, within your moral rights, in accord with justice, then die for what you believe in. But don't die alone. Let your dying be reciprocal. This is what is meant by equality."
You have to understand that during that time in American history lynching was a common day occurrence in large segments of America. Malcolm's own childhood experience relates the insecurity with which Blacks existed, so the idea of self defense- owning and using guns- was particularly appealing for Blacks and incredibly unnerving for Whites. In his speech Malcolm soothed this nerve by expressing: "This doesn't mean you're going to get a rifle and form battalions and go out looking for white folks … that would be illegal and we don't do anything illegal" and that "if white people didn't want African-Americans to arm themselves, the government should do its job." (I guess they discriminated even when applying the Second Amendment back then.)
In Malcolms world, Blacks had very few options left to them and the White politicians at the time were not recognizing this reality and Black civil rights leaders were sweeping it under the rug. After Malcolm's assassination America saw the arming of Black youths, the riots and the burning of the ghettos as violence and rage swept America. For Malcolm this was the foreseeable consequence of political appeasement and denial of human rights. The Arab world- in fact any place with popular protest movements- is on the brink of the political equation Malcolm presented- its either the ballot or the bullet, but appeasement is not a long term solution just a short term way to increase the pressure and explode in ways that are not reconcilable.
Bloody hands, Hypocrisy and an Appeal
Let the world know how bloody his hands are. Let the world know the hypocrisy that's practiced over here. Let it be the ballot or the bullet. Let him know that it must be the ballot or the bullet.
I have blogged about Syria recently, you can go here to read it but a quick summary of the article focused more on how Muslim leaders in the US- particularly in Southern California- are using other struggles, in particular Kashmir, to frame the Syrian situation. That in itself is nothing new or problematic, what I took issue with was more the tone and almost ritualistic or "as a second thought" nature of the comparison or worse to the compelling motivator behind bringing up Kashmir- large South Asian crowd in the audience. To me this was disingenuous use of a struggle very few people in the American Muslim community know about or even understand. My bottom line was that as an American Muslim you don't need to sell me on supporting Syria by doing a marketing pitch framed within the Kashmir struggle, its our duty as Muslims to care about the larger Ummah, but lets recognize that there are certain priorities placed on certain suffering groups versus others that are outside the time and event context.
Media for the most part is blocking coverage of the most gruesome and disturbing atrocities coming out from Syria right now. Someone denying an adult a right could be questionable in terms of whether they acted criminally, however, what about punishing to death 18 premature babies, or the torturing of children– where are all the Christian right to life activists? We don't need to apply the criminal label by ourselves, the Assad regime is through and through criminal just read the UN Report. Of coarse China and Russia would veto any UN resolution, what do you expect when the principal values those two nations function on are self-interest and monetary value? Just because you get 3 good votes (hypothetically speaking) on issues doesn't mean you should be rooting for them, its called hypocrisy and as Muslims we shouldn't be relative in our analysis of situations. The US and Western allies are not less hypocritical, but at least we call it like it is. La, la, its Realpolitik comrades.
The end result though is exactly how Malcolm envisioned the Black struggle for civil rights in the US- if the government fails to do its job, lacks the insight to understand that there are shifts in power and that there is an opportunity to negotiate that ends at critical juncture, once that juncture is reached, there is no longer a choice, just the cold hard reality of the situation that bitter steal will resolve the conflict. Its a call to arms, because the world has failed to address the inequity in power that is concentrating death, murder- dare I say genocide?- torture, rape and countless war crimes against an unarmed, peaceful population demanding nothing out of the ordinary, but rather simply and beautifully, the rights that already are theres. There is a point of no return for Syria and with all the actors having failed it, we should no longer expect the outcome to be in our favor- such transparent hypocrisy is like us parading around the UN without our new fancy robe on, the world can see how useless we have been and how caught up we are in our own machinations to realize the golden opportunity that these movements bring to the our future.
So the people of Syria have every right to defend their children, their loved ones, their neighbors and their neighborhoods, their cities and their fate. Screw those who think that their is any further negation or reconciliation that is required, people have the right to bare suffering and oppression and then that line is crossed their is no room for turning the cheek, and anyone who says that should first be placed in the shoes of an oppressed person- have their rights stripped, have their family tortured, have their children killed, their house destroyed, be imprisoned, be bombarded for days on end, forced to live in a basement with no food or electricity or water, shot at while they bury their loved ones- maybe at that point they should be asked if they still believe they can negotiate and reconcile with the people who put them through all of that. Will there be room for hope?
The actors on the world stage aside, there is something really important you can do that doesn't require to much on your end. Its prayer- the most humbling of things is to put your complete trust into God over a situation you already have no control over, to implore that God give people you might not even have any relationship or kinship to the grace to weather the storm of tyranny, dignity to face oppression head on, strength to stay the course and victory against all odds in a situation that to us and them, appears hopeless. Pray for Syria, pray for humanity- join with others for the Global Day of Prayer on February 20, 2012- but remember until the tyrant and oppressor is swept aside, the people of Syria still need our prayers, at the BARE MINIMUM.
If you read all this, here's a treat for you, enjoy Everlast- Stone In My Hand- the ultimate revolution anthem in my mind.

If Malcolm X's words move you, I think you might like my blog, Rhymes and Reasons. It is a series of interviews with hip-hop heads who discuss their lives in the context of a few songs that matter to them. The interviews tend to focus on questions of justice like racism, sexism, sexual violence, white privilege, etc. I hope you enjoy it.

Q: Add a condition with alias value I tried to add an additional condition
SELECT
   ROUND(SUM((cus.amount_product/1000)),1) as TOTAL_N,
   ROUND(SUM((cus.amount_product/1000)),1) as TOTAL_PRODUCT
FROM customs AS cus
LEFT JOIN customs_products AS cp ON cp.id = cus.customs_product_id
   WHERE cp.product IN (101,103,104,106)
   AND TOTAL_PRODUCT  >= 1

The problem is in this TOTAL_PRODUCT. I tried to do that in multiple ways :
1. AND (ROUND(SUM((cus.amount_product/1000)),1)) > 1 --> NOT WORKING
2. AND TOTAL_PRODUCT  >= 1 --> NOT WORKING

Can you help me please ? What I'm doing worng

A: A HAVING clause does what you want, but your query just doesn't make sense.  You have the same expression twice.  Even if that is a typo, the WHERE clause is turning the LEFT JOIN into an inner join.  I suspect you may really want:
SELECT COUNT(cus.customs_product_id) as TOTAL_N,
       ROUND(SUM((cus.amount_product/1000)), 1) as TOTAL_PRODUCT
FROM customs_products cp LEFT JOIN
     customs cus
     ON cp.id = cus.customs_product_id
WHERE cp.product IN (101, 103, 104, 106)
HAVING TOTAL_PRODUCT >= 1;

I suspect that you might actually want a GROUP BY in the query as well.

A: USE having as it use aggregated function it will not work in where clause
SELECT
   ROUND(SUM((cus.amount_product/1000)),1) as TOTAL_N,
   ROUND(SUM((cus.amount_product/1000)),1) as TOTAL_PRODUCT
FROM customs AS cus
LEFT JOIN customs_products AS cp ON cp.id = cus.customs_product_id
   WHERE cp.product IN (101,103,104,106)
having ROUND(SUM((cus.amount_product/1000)),1)>= 1

A: use having which is group filter
SELECT
   ROUND(SUM((cus.amount_product/1000)),1) as TOTAL_N,
   ROUND(SUM((cus.amount_product/1000)),1) as TOTAL_PRODUCT
FROM customs AS cus
LEFT JOIN customs_products AS cp ON cp.id = cus.customs_product_id
   WHERE cp.product IN (101,103,104,106)
  having TOTAL_PRODUCT  >= 1

as TOTAL_PRODUCT is alias of the aggregated column so you need having
