Richard Baker is a liar 60
Posted on March 11, 2013 by Rev. Stuart Campbell
It's nice to see Scottish Labour taking turns. Today it's Richard Baker who's been wheeled out to spout idiotic and instantly-disproveable untruths at the Scottish public.
Shall we?

Blair McDougall is a liar 127
Posted on February 04, 2013 by Rev. Stuart Campbell
This is "No" campaign director Blair McDougall, telling lies:
"There's one thing that's absolutely certain – if the nationalists get a Yes vote, Scotland will be leaving the UK and so we'll be leaving the European Union."
That's a lie, isn't it, Blair? It couldn't possibly be any more clearly a lie. Nobody actually believes that Scotland will "leave" the European Union as a result of a Yes vote. No matter how much they deliberately spin, misrepresent and mislead about the EC President's comments, nobody honestly believes that there will be so much as a single solitary day on which Scottish people are not EU citizens. (Unless, of course, they choose to stay in the UK and the Tories then take the whole UK out.)
Even the feeble semantic-hairsplitting defence that an independent Scotland might for a split second technically "leave" the EU while negotiations over the precise terms of membership were concluded and amended is anything but "absolutely certain". Such a scenario is, in fact, a hugely unlikely, but strictly speaking astronomically-small theoretical possibility, so irrational that a lunatic might clutch desperately at it. Either way, we would in every meaningful sense remain in the EU.
The only absolute certainty here is that Blair McDougall is a liar.

Jackie Baillie is a liar 97
Posted on December 19, 2012 by Rev. Stuart Campbell
We've spent the last 90 minutes watching an incredible video someone linked us to in a reader comment earlier today. It's a public meeting of the Clydebank Trades Union Council on November 29th, headed by a panel comprising Gil Paterson (SNP MSP for Clydebank and Milngavie), Jackie Baillie (Labour MSP for Dumbarton), chairman Tom Paterson (secretary of Clydebank TUC), Stephen Boyd (assistant secretary of Scottish TUC) and Cathy Leach (Scottish Pensioners' Forum).
Throughout the meeting the sense of anger and hurt coming from the traditionally-Labour audience and directed mostly at Baillie is overwhelming. Time and again the party's betrayal of its core audience is bitterly attacked. But an hour and 25 seconds in, there's a particularly remarkable exchange.

Anas Sarwar is a liar 18
Posted on April 04, 2012 by Rev. Stuart Campbell
We invite the de facto leader of Scottish Labour to sue us if the title of this article is libellous. But the facts seem to us to be clear and incontrovertible. On BBC1's weekend political programme Sunday Politics Scotland on the 1st of April 2012, Anas Sarwar was interviewed by Isabel Fraser, along with the SNP's Stewart Hosie.
Below is a transcript of part of the discussion, on the subject of Labour's allegations that the Scottish Government's consultation on the independence referendum was "designed for abuse". It begins 43m 36s into the show, just after Fraser has suggested to Sarwar that the consultation process is in fact, as stated by Hosie, identical to those previously conducted by Labour.
SARWAR: It isn't the same as previous processes, because you don't even have to submit an email address or any form of identity to put in an anonymous response, and you can put in multiple anonymous responses… on the second point that Stewart raised around the Labour Party's own website, you have to put in an email address and a name to be able to respond, so it's not an anonymous response that you could put in from our own site.
FRASER: But you could put in multiple responses from that address.
SARWAR: No, you have to put in your own name and an email address, which, which you can't use multiple…
FRASER: So you're monitoring it, and you will ensure that?
SARWAR: Absolutely, there's no multiple responses, they can see exactly who has put in a response with their name and also their email address.
Sarwar then repeats the allegation that the process was"not only open to abuse, it's designed for abuse" by the SNP. Fraser puts it to Hosie that that's a very significant accusation and asks him if he accepts the charge.
HOSIE: What's more disturbing is Anas Sarwar there saying that the responses through the Labour Party website are being monitored. That clearly is very worrying indeed, if the Labour Party are able to monitor responses through their website to a public consultation. That's extremely concerning indeed that you said that.
SARWAR: That's not what I said, Stewart. What I said was –
HOSIE: You said they were being monitored.
SARWAR: – there are individual, individual email addresses and names –
SARWAR: – individual email addresses and names that would go in from our responses. The point I'm making, and this is clear – I am making that accusation that the SNP are looking like they're trying to rig this referendum.
(We'll ignore the cowardly weasel-worded smear "I am making the accusation that the SNP are looking like they're trying to rig this referendum" for now.)
We'll be clear: Sarwar's statements in the transcript above are lies. That's not a matter of our interpretation or opinion, but empirical fact. You do NOT "have to put in your own name" on Labour's form. Wings Over Scotland has already proved this by submitting a consultation response through the form using Anas Sarwar's name, along with the email address "anas [dot] sarwar [at] scottishlabour [dot] org [dot] uk". We are not Anas Sarwar.
Sarwar's repeated claim that "no multiple responses" are possible through the form is also a lie – there are no discernible safeguards against either fake names or multiple responses on the site, as we also verified by successfully submitting further multiple entries through the same form, including this one in which we used the name "anonymous" and the email address "anonymous [at] anonymous [dot] com".
Sarwar's position on whether Labour are monitoring the responses in order to potentially catch these abuses is doubly untruthful. When Fraser asks him "So you're monitoring [the responses via the form]?", he answers "Absolutely" (although our experiments suggest this is not the case), yet mere seconds later when Hosie expresses concern about this admission, he replies "That's not what I said", even though it was, as an indisputable matter of record, precisely what he said.
The Scottish media, it probably goes without saying, has not challenged Sarwar on these easily-demonstrable lies. As Sarwar was nominated by Scottish Labour to be its spokesman for the issue on Sunday Politics Scotland, we believe it's reasonable to assume, furthermore, that his responses were not made out of simple ignorance.
Should Mr Sarwar contact us to explain that in fact it was the case that he simply had no idea what he was talking about, we will gladly withdraw our allegations and issue an apology to that effect. But in the absence of any such statement, the evidence makes it impossible for us to reach any other conclusion than that he deliberately and knowingly lied to Isabel Fraser, Stewart Hosie and the Scottish people.
We do not believe such a person is fit for office in one of the nation's biggest political parties, or indeed to be a Member of Parliament. We think most people would agree, and we call on Anas Sarwar to resign both positions immediately.

Tom Harris is a liar 14
Posted on November 14, 2011 by Rev. Stuart Campbell
We're going to come right out and say it. Tom Harris MP will not be the next leader of Scottish Labour. This is because while Scottish Labour might be collectively a bit dim, it's not THAT dim. Despite having by far the highest media profile of the three leadership candidates (which, in fairness, is clearing a not-very-high bar), Harris failed to secure the support of a single Holyrood MSP for his nomination, a situation that would hopelessly undermine whichever unfortunate lackey was chosen to deliver his attacks on Alex Salmond at First Minister's Questions.
Opponents of blood sports would shy away from the screen in horror as Labour challenged the FM every week with – at best – a deputy leader acting as a mouthpiece for a Westminster MP. The lack of credibility of an MSP group unable to put forward a single member of sufficient talent to lead would make the party in Scotland a laughing stock, particularly if – as might well happen – the new deputy was a Westminster politician too, such as Ian Davidson or Anas Sarwar.
The SNP, though, will doubtless be hoping against hope that Harris manages to win anyway, because the MP for Glasgow South would represent a massive liability to Labour in many other ways too.

We are four 236
So, it's our birthday. It was exactly four years ago today, on the 7th of November 2011, that Wings Over Scotland published the first post of what was supposed to be a pretty insignificant spare-time blog picking out interesting politics stories in the day's Scottish media and challenging any inaccuracies in them.
It got a bit out of control, frankly.

Playing tricks on memory 172
Posted on May 30, 2015 by Rev. Stuart Campbell
In its kneejerk "SNP BAD" reaction to the Alistair Carmichael affair, the Unionist establishment – politicians and media alike – has furiously tried to divert attention from Carmichael's smear and attempted cover-up by harking back to an incident in 2012, when the press gave vast amounts of coverage to a claim that Alex Salmond had "lied" about legal advice regarding an independent Scotland's EU membership.
Everyone and their dog has trotted out the allegation again in the past week, right across the Unionist political spectrum – "Steerpike" in the Spectator did it, Alex Johnstone of the Scottish Conservatives did it, Tavish Scott of the Scottish Lib Dems did it, Michael White in the Guardian did it, Toby Young in the Spectator (again) did it, thirsty Labour peer George Foulkes did it, Telegraph columnist Iain Martin did it, failed Lib Dem anti-Salmond candidate Christine Jardine did it, and countless numbers of shrill Scottish Labour activists and party officials did it.
And all of them are counting on the Scottish public not remembering the truth.

The House Of Liars 162
The former Liberal Democrat MP (and also the party's former Scottish leader, and until just a few weeks ago its UK deputy leader) Sir Malcolm Bruce gave an extraordinary interview to Radio 4's Today programme this morning about Alistair Carmichael.
The whole thing can be heard here, but the short passage below stood out even in the context of a breathless, furious, scattergun performance that sounded like a man on the edge of a nervous breakdown.
http://worldofstuart.excellentcontent.com/bruce-today-26may2015-short.mp3
(Today, BBC Radio 4, 26 May 2015)
We're sure readers will be greatly comforted by the fact that it's okay for the Secretary of State for Scotland to tell a "brazen lie", on the grounds that everyone else in the Houses Of Parliament is a liar too, and by the notion that a government minister who's caught lying to the nation in order to undermine the democratically-elected leader of Scotland is an offence for which the culprit can simply decide their own punishment.

Six paragraphs later 187
Bill Jamieson in the Scotsman today:
"Yes, there should be No poll abuse
The independence debate has been getting ever nastier and it's time for all sides to take a breath."
It must have been a short breath, because just six paragraphs later:
"Bill Munro, the head of Barrhead Travel, one of our most successful Scottish companies, was subjected to a volley of threats and abuse after he advised staff in a letter to vote No.
A line has been crossed here between fair rebuttal and menacing nastiness. More of this and we could be on the way towards a Caledonian Kristallnacht."
Because a surefire way to calm debate is to liken one side to the Nazis, right?

How to make news from air 69
The Independent is the most English newspaper in Britain. Alone among the nationals, it has neither a Scottish edition nor even a Scottish news section. And for the vast majority of the time, it acts as though Scotland simply doesn't exist at all. (Or, perhaps, as if Scotland was already independent and therefore none of its business.)
So it's perhaps not altogether surprising that on the rare occasions it dares venture north of Luton, it invariably makes a gigantic ham-fisted hash of it.

Fulbright University Vietnam
A Rare Opportunity
Fulbright University Vietnam represents a rare opportunity to reimagine the university—to design a new academic institution from scratch. We're rethinking the relationship between a university and society. We're reassessing how a university defines and values the impact of its students and faculty in the real world. Internally, we're rethinking the roles of our students, faculty, and staff in ways that promote collaboration and teamwork over competition and the pursuit of individual goals. We're also exploring how advances in teaching, learning, and technology can enhance the educational experience.
Even as we seek to innovate, not imitate, we also recognize that great insight and valuable practices can be drawn from the experience of high performing organizations that share our values, inside and outside higher education. We're building a founding team and a larger network of collaborators—innovators from education, technology, and other sectors—who are helping us take fullest advantage of what, for most of us, is a once in a lifetime chance.
Fulbright University Vietnam is a work in progress. Here are some the primary areas where we're challenging paradigms and rethinking the status quo:
The Educational Experience
We believe that an education cannot be reduced to course sequences, credit hours, and exams. We're focused on creating a holistic, 24/7 learning experience. Distinguishing features of this experience will include an emphasis on design, experimentation, and a commitment to continuous improvement. It also entails a focus on collaboration and teamwork, which we believe are critical skills in today's world.
At the graduate level, we're building on the nucleus of the Fulbright Economics Teaching Program to reinvent the public policy school for a developing society in the 21st century. The programs we're designing will equip professionals with the toolkits they need to be problem-solvers and change agents in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
At the undergraduate level, we're connecting engineering, the liberal arts and sciences, and the visual and performing arts in new ways to reimagine residential liberal education for the 21st century. We're creating an educational experience that will prepare students for lives of meaning and achievement. We will send our students into the world, and bring real world issues into our classrooms, labs, and studios. Even as we embrace advancements in teaching, learning, and curriculum design, we also believe in the traditional objectives of a liberal education including the value of broad knowledge of the world and the scientific, cultural, and historic dynamics that shape the human experience.
The Role of the Student
We believe students learn best when they are active participants in their educational experience, rather than passive consumers of an educational "product." As a startup, we enjoy a unique opportunity to involve our students as co-designers of their educational experience. They will help create a community that is not walled off from the wider world but deeply embedded in it. Whether they aspire to be engineers, entrepreneurs, or artists, FUV students will be challenged to make a difference in the world.
We've been engaging with high school students from around Vietnam to better understand their aspirations. We're finding that many feel stifled by an educational culture that treats them like empty vessels to be filled with knowledge. Many feel a profound distance between themselves and their teachers, and long for more meaningful relationships with them. Enthusiasm for the "startup culture" makes them excited for the opportunity to help create a new institution. Many Vietnamese students long for the freedom to pursue intellectual interests and passions—art, music, public service, entrepreneurship—beyond their narrow, highly structured course of study.
The Role of the Faculty
Working with these young people will be a core faculty who share their enthusiasm for a new university experience. At FUV, faculty members will be designers, coaches, and entrepreneurs who will work across disciplinary boundaries, to develop students, to develop themselves, and to make a difference to Vietnam and the world. We believe FUV's ability to offer a transformative educational experience is contingent on faculty who are both confident self-starters and collaborative team players. Because traditional academic incentive systems often stifle, rather than encourage, innovation and collaboration, it is imperative that we create systems that promote this mindset. Our faculty will pursue, and be excited by, impact in many forms — not only academic publication, but also action in the world like collaborating with a start-up, advising a local government, or contributing to an informed public discourse about public problems.
We're reaching out to young scientists and scholars at leading universities around the United States and in Vietnam. We're hearing that for some, a conventional university career is unappealing. Many wish to develop as teachers and curriculum designers and aspire to join a community that can help them achieve those goals. Some seek an environment that values collaboration over competition. Others see opportunities to engage in research in ways that focus on issues that really matter.
The University as a Community
At the core of FUV's identity is a commitment to diversity and accessibility. We're a university in a developing country where socioeconomic inequality produces sharp disparities—between rich and poor, between urban rural, among genders and ethnic groups. We will recruit and support a student body that is representative of Vietnamese society as a whole and we will find creative ways to integrate students from diverse backgrounds into a shared journey of educational and personal growth.
The University and the World
What does it mean to be a Vietnamese university in a globalized world? For FUV, it includes seeking meaningful connections to the communities around us and encouraging every member of the university community to engage in activities that positively impact people's lives. It means being a driver of change in an education system where reform is an urgent priority. As a Vietnamese university, we bear special responsibility to help confront the "grand challenges" facing Vietnamese society, today and in the future. We also are committed to preserving, studying, and promoting Vietnam's unique cultural heritage.
Ultimately, FUV may point the way toward new approaches to creating high quality higher education institutions in other developing countries. If we're successful, others may find in the FUV experience approaches that are relevant and replicable.
The University as a (Nonprofit) Enterprise
Many high-profile international university projects enjoy virtually unlimited funding (oftentimes from a sovereign backer). For a private, nonprofit startup like FUV, ensuring that there isn't a trade-off between access and outcomes will require that we operate as a sophisticated enterprise that stewards and invests its resources with utmost care. We've partnered with the Boston Consulting Group to develop a robust financial model that can help FUV's leadership chart a course to financial sustainability. Ensuring that FUV can offer ample need-based financial assistance to students means that we must eschew flashy, "gold plated" hardware in favor of a development strategy that seeks every opportunity to leapfrog conventional approaches through transformational innovation. Technology presents many exciting opportunities to enrich the learning experience while keeping costs at a level appropriate for a developing country. Operationally, achieving financial stability will require FUV to scale up rapidly; our initial business models suggest that FUV will admit between 2,000 and 3,000 undergraduate students to achieve sustainability.

If you use inhaled medications to treat asthma or lung disease, it is important to follow certain guidelines to ensure you are getting the full dose of medication each time. Studies have shown that most people who use inhaled medication make at least one mistake that can affect the dose they get.
Load your device to deliver one dose, according to your pharmacist's instructions.
Breathe out as much air from your lungs as you can, without it causing discomfort.
Place the mouthpiece of the device in your mouth. Seal your lips firmly around the opening.
If you are using a metered-dose inhaler, you will need to release the dose and breathe in at the same time.
With dry powder inhalers, the dose is released simply by inhaling.
Hold your breath for as long as possible, without it causing discomfort (about 5 to 10 seconds).
Breathe out, ideally through the nose, keeping your mouth closed.
Rinse your mouth. This step is especially important for corticosteroid medications, but you can do it for all your inhaled medications.
If you need to take two doses of a medication, wait approximately one minute between puffs.
Many devices have an indicator or dose counter that shows the number of puffs they contain, which is convenient as it shows when you will need to renew them. However, some metered-dose inhalers used as quick-relief medication do not. In this case, it is crucial to keep track of the doses you take so you don't find yourself in an emergency situation with an empty inhaler. You can keep track of the doses using a logbook or an app on your smartphone. Some people stick a piece of tape on their device and draw a line on it each time they take a dose. It doesn't matter which method you choose, so long as you use one!
An inhaler device that is used improperly can lead to sub-optimal treatment. If you are having trouble using your device, be sure to talk to your pharmacist. Have your pharmacist check your technique at least once a year. He or she can give you pointers, as needed.

Q: I'm trying to run a .sh file on command prompt and I'm not familiar with the commands
time ./wordcount.sh
  The system cannot accept the time entered.
  Enter the new time:

How can I fix this?
Thanks

A: If you are using dos as the tag suggests, then time is the utility to change the system time. You are passing the string ./wordcount.sh as a parameter to time and the program is complaining because it cannot interpret ./wordcount.sh as a valid time.
Try running time /? to see a list of valid parameters that can be passed to the time utility

Should I apply essential oils to the soles of my feet? • Michelle Gilbert, CCA, APAIA, R.SPE.P.
Aromatic foot massage is deeply relaxing and grounding, but any impact on health would be due to the balancing benefits of relaxation on our nervous and endocrine systems, not due to absorption of essential oils.
The soles of our feet protect us from the outside world. They have more layers of skin than any other part of the body, and their large pores release perspiration but do not absorb very well. The rest of our skin absorbs only about 10% of what we apply to it, and the soles of our feet absorb even less. Inhalation (such as with a diffuser) is far more effective; about 80% of what we inhale enters our bloodstream.
Supportive aromatherapy applications to the feet include relaxation (foot bath, cooling sprays, massage), energetic or reflexology therapies, or gentle support for healthy skin. The feet are sacred in many spiritual practices, and aromatherapy is a beautiful way to enhance these practices.
Can you apply essential oils to the soles of your kids' feet?
While touted as being safe for children under the age of 5, applying essential oils to their feet is not recommended, whether diluted properly or not. The developing skin and metabolism of infants and small children are simply too sensitive. To support your child's health, there are many other gentle and effective options – hydrosols or conservative diffusion, for example.
Can you apply undiluted essential oils to the feet?
I don't recommend it. While the skin of the feet is thicker, it can still become sensitized or irritated! With a few notable exceptions, essential oils should never be applied undiluted ("neat") to any part of the body, as this can cause a sensitivity reaction and may lead to permanent intolerance. Use 1-2 drops of essential oil in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, or consult a qualified aromatherapist for a supportive care regimen specific to your concerns.


Yes, we are also sad (and a bit stunned) at the unexpected turn of (political) fortunes but this is how unhinged the (upper-caste) warriors of the left have become.
Dear Anand, with all due respect, there will be no loss of dignity for the Niyamgiri tribal folks if you play by proper Queen's English rules (American English is of course evil). It will be a brave man who can even comprehend your prose (this is probably intentional) and a braver one who can put up a defense of any sorts in response. Requesting the good doctor to step forward please.
Really, it all seems like an epic caricature nightmare. If you can string together words like Fukushima, Koodankulam, Ambedkar, Manto, Bhagat Singh, Sanatan Dharma, Surpanakha (Lakshman cut off her nose in Ramayana)…. in random sequence then you too can become a folk hero.
This is the key (we hate to say paragraph) section and the key grievance: you neo-Hindus you fools, you dupes of the manuvadis….
Tea-cup and cup of blood: the word play is done nicely. Modi is truly from the Ghanchi caste, and it was his DAD who was a chai-wallah, Modi used to help his dad by serving customers and washing dishes.
When some spoke rashly and derisively of your having been a "chaiwala," I felt sick to my stomach. What a wonderful thing it is, I said to myself, that one who has made and served chai for a living should be able to head the government of India. Far better bearing a pyala to many than being a chamcha to one.
If such a comment was made against a Dalit, it would qualify for a non-bailable warrant under the SC/ST atrocities act. We are sympathetic to demands of free speech but here is the thing: why lower yourself by abusing his background? Is that really your best shot? This is how you will achieve paradise on earth??
And yes, if you dont like the "garment of democracy," then why not suggest a better "living" alternative: North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Syria, take your pick.
The charm of a democracy, even a deeply flawed one (such as India), lies in the claim that the people at the bottom have at least a fighting chance. Just the other day we had Nitish Kumar step down as Chief Minister of Bihar. The new CM Jitan Ram Majhi is a mahadalit. People who know these things (this includes you) know that maha-dalits have been abused by all other castes, including higher-caste dalits. While one swallow does not make a summer, it is indeed wonderful that within a few decades of independence, democracy has achieved this memorable milestone in a backward place like Bihar. And we will not stop here, we will continue to fight on behalf of all our fellow citizens.
Are you sure that everything was very equal and fair in the Bhimbetka caves? People were sitting around the fire, drawing pictures, and singing Kumbaya, right?
We know inequality is a high crime and India suffers from this deeply. You can try to purge the concept of caste from your society (an admirable goal in and of itself), it is still likely that inequality will not change.
The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is a good example, right next door. Islam is without question the most progressive religion in the context of caste, every believer (and non-believer) is the same in front of Allah. So how do you explain the inequality that persists in that society? How do you explain Asia Bibi – who is in jail because some muslim ladies took offense because she offered them water – it looks like a case of untouchability (the blasphemy was a bonus). If the most radical social engineering (as promised by Islam) cant help cure social divisions then what hope do we have for humanity?
Then you have the Maoists, another progressive band of brothers. The citation below is from Aakar Patel in Outlook (April 30, 2012). Not a single woman and only one tribal occupying the high table of the Maoist Central Committee. Why this inequality- are tribals not well grounded enough to speak for themselves?
the breeze, a speck that is not even aware of the gyre it is part of…..
that will crush you, all these will be wrought now…..
households that also kissed the Chamar huts……..
birth in freshwater did not vote for you….
and, you do not have my vote.
that keeps turning and turning.
This piece could've been titled "History is on Our Side or Why the Left Keeps Losing". 6 years into the worst crisis of capitalism since the great depression, nationalists (left wing nationalisms exists but it is the Le Pen types who are winning not the Melenchon types) and neoliberals are winning elections (and taking power in other ways) from Australia to Japan to Europe to the Arab Spring (are we still calling it that? Or is it Arab Winter now?).
Leftists have long thought that capitalism's downfall was inevitable thanks to historical forces, that every event is a checkpoint to the inevitable socialist utopia. Maybe that's why the right keeps winning. The right don't assume history is on their side or that victory is inevitable. So they keep fighting. And in the economic sphere they've won; nobody wants communism, only different versions of capitalism (Zizek's classification: Neoliberal, Welfare, Populist and Authoritarian). And they still keep fighting, they won't give an inch to the Leftists. Even in the cultural sphere where the left's dominance seemed secure, the right doesn't give up (see the increasing restrictions on abortion in the US, the increasing anti-semitism in Europe though that's down to both the right & the left and the anti-gay rights activists who have found an icon in Putin).
S Anand will be waiting for history for a long time.


Segolene Royal is a French female politician and a member of the Socialist Party that ran for the presidential elections in 2007 alongside Nicolas Sarkozy.
Today, the worst conflicts, the most deep-rooted violence, and those likely to emerge in the coming years are due to disparities in development.
Being a woman is not enough to be different.
I'm making policies by looking at what I would do for my own children.
I am a socialist and at the same time clear about a certain number of values ... family values, environmental values, the value of succeeding at school, the value of merit and respect for work. To me these are not incompatible with being of the left.
I thank from the bottom of my heart the nearly 17 million voters, citizens, who showed confidence in me, and I measure their disappointment and their pain. But I say that something has risen that will not stop.
For men who have spent all of their life engaged in the conquest of power seeing a woman overtaking them is viscerally unbearable.
What we started together we will continue together. You can count on me to continue the renovation of the left .... It is the condition of our future victories.

Schoinousa or Schinoussa is an island in the Cyclades, Greece. It lies south of the island of Naxos, in the Lesser Cyclades group, between the island communities of Irakleia and Koufonisia. Its land area is 8.512 square kilometres (3 sq mi). It is the fourth largest island of the Lesser Cyclades and the second most populated, after Ano Koufonisi.
The island has three settlements, Chora the capital of the island, Mesaria and Mersini where is the port of the island.
Featuring a strange,rugged beauty, and nature that beckons for exploration, Schinoussa is an island which promises unforgettable vacations to the visitor.
It has many characteristics which make it a wonderful "refuge:" Its harbor is well-known as a good shelter, the beaches with golden sand are as a rule approached without any difficulty, and the climate of the island is so mild that is reminiscent of summer even in winter.
Top beaches: Psilli Ammos, Tsigouri, Livadi, Almyros, Aligaria Bay, Gerolimnionas, Kavos Michali.
Small Schinoussa wants to reward its visitors for their journey there, and so ensures that their stay is as pleasant as possible from the minute they anchor at its port.
Tucked in between the isles of Iraklia and Koufonissia, off the southeastern coast of Naxos, Schinoussa promises unique experiences in the surrounding expanse of turquoise and deep blue waters, romantic sunsets, nights under the moonlight straight out of fairy tales, exciting hiking trails but also unforgettable gastronomic delights.
It retains its traditional character unspoiled and offers you the relaxing holidays sought by those looking for isolated spots in the Aegean archipelago.
The island has no public transport facilities.
You may rent a scooter to get around: contact Faros Bikes and Maria Grispou at mobile: +30 6977366853.

The name of Schinoussa is found in texts of Roman philosopher Pliny the Elder.
Eighteenth and nineteenth century travelers observed that it supplied the neighboring island of Amorgos with quantities of the shrub schinos (Pistacia lentiscus) that were used as firewood.
According to another version, it was named after Schinoza, a Venetian nobleman who is said to have kept a tower house here during the period of Frankish rule.
Although the island does not have any organized archaeological sites or listed monuments, the finds, such as statuettes and parts of marble columns –most of which are on display at the Naxos Archaeological Museum, confirm that Schinoussa participated in the creation of the Proto-Cycladic civilization (3200-2800 ΒC) and continued to be inhabited in later antiquity.
German-born Ludwig Ross (1806-1859), who became the first archaeology professor in the University of Athens, reported finds of various periods on the island, ranging from antiquity to the period of the Venetian ascendancy on the island, including ancient farm terraces.The farming character of island appears to have changed little since antiquity, and olive oil presses and windmills operated until recent times.
Abundant ceramic finds and many ruined medieval chapels (Ai Giannis, Agios Antonios, Profitis Ilias, Stavros, Agia Triada) suggest that Schinoussa developed a brisk commercial activity during Byzantine times.
The island is also referred to as a haunt of pirates, who used the coves of Merssini, Sifneiko, Liolios, Bazeos and Gerolimnionas as anchorages.
During Ottoman times Schinoussa was deserted and became the property of Chozoviotissa Monastery, on the neighboring island of Amorgos.After Greek independence in the 1820's, the monastery granted the right of settlement to some families from Amorgos to cultivate the land.
The settlers' community gradually grew into settlements with schools and churches, and despite adverse conditions, the inhabitants managed to develop trade with the neighboring islands. In later decades, poverty forced a large number of them to emigrate.
The growth of tourism and the creation of secondary schools in the last 20 years seem to have made a significant contribution to a growth of the permanent population.
A tiny sandy beach, with crystal-clear waters, near Livadi beach. It is barren but suitable for quiet and seclusion.
This is the continuation of Liolios beach, with a rocky stretch of coast in between. Only about 80m wide, it is covered with lentisc shrubs (Pistacia lentiscus) near its superbly turquoise waters.
I would go again to Schinousa Island!


After last year's US Department of Justice prosecution of Full Tilt Poker as part of the Black Friday case, there have been numerous lawsuits filed against the brand. This past week, the once-affiliated company PokerStrategy filed a 1.2 million dollar lawsuit against Full Tilt Poker's marketing department, Pocket Kings, accusing it of unpaid fees for services rendered.
PokerStrategy is holding Full Tilt to an agreement made prior to its closure by the US government last April. Full Tilt Poker is known as one the best online casinos and largest poker rooms online.
PokerStrategy's Chief Executive, Dominik Kofert, spoke up in regards to the news. He stated that the company waiting until this point to file the lawsuit because it did not want to stand in the way of the US government case and Full Tilt's ability to pay back its own players who lost out when the website was closed.
PokerStrategy has claimed that through it's doing, Full Tilt Poker acquired an average of 30,000 non-United States players prior to the DOJ's closure of the site. Whether or not these players were sign-ups or turned into depositors who spent money on Full Tilt's site is left to be determined in court.
Other companies have filed suits against Full Tilt in recent months but most have been deemed immaterial and have been rejected by the legal system.

Q: Add data from dynamically added textbox to database Below is the code to add textboxes and button dynamically on button click. I need to add tat textbox data to database on another button click. Have no idea on that. Any suggestions will be helpful.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int v;
    v = c++;
    panel1.VerticalScroll.Value = VerticalScroll.Minimum;

    Button btn = new Button();
    btn.Name = "btn" + v;
    btn.Text = "Remove";
    btn.Location = new Point(300, 5 + (30 * v));
    btn.Click += new EventHandler(btn_Click);

    TextBox txt = new TextBox();
    txt.Name = "TextBox" + v;
    txt.Location = new Point(30, 5 + (30 * v));
    txt.Tag = btn;

    TextBox txt1 = new TextBox();
    txt1.Name = "TextBox2" + v;
    txt1.Location = new Point(170, 5 + (30 * v));
    txt1.Tag = btn;

    panel1.Controls.Add(txt);
    panel1.Controls.Add(txt1);
    panel1.Controls.Add(btn);
}

private void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    for (int i = panel1.Controls.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    {
        var item = panel1.Controls[i];

        if (item.Tag == sender || item == sender)
            panel1.Controls.Remove(item);
    }
}

A: Solution : You need to save the Name of the dynamic TextBox Controls before accessing them as below:
List<String> controlNames=new List<String>();
TextBox txt = new TextBox();
txt.Name = "TextBox" + v;
controlNames.Add(txt.Name);
txt.Location = new Point(30, 5 + (30 * v));
txt.Tag = btn;

TextBox txt1 = new TextBox();
txt1.Name = "TextBox2" + v;
controlNames.Add(txt1.Name);
txt1.Location = new Point(170, 5 + (30 * v));
txt1.Tag = btn;

Now access them while to save the data into Database
protected void btnSaveData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    //Read TextBox Values
    TextBox txBox1 = (TextBox) Controls.Find(controlNames[0],true)[0];
    TextBox txtBox2 = (TextBox) Controls.Find(controlNames[1],true)[0];
    MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection("connection string here");
    String query="INSERT INTO [TABLENAME] ([COLUMNNAME1],[COLUMNNAME2]) VALUES(@COLUMNVALUE1 , @COLUMNVALUE2)";
    MySqlCommand command = new MySqlCommand(query,con);

    command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@COLUMNNAME1",txBox1.Text);
    command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@COLUMNNAME2",txBox2.Text);

    int status=0;
    con.Open();
    status = command.ExecuteNonQuery();

    if(status>0)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Rows Inserted Successfully!");
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("No Rows Inserted!");
    }

    con.Close();
}

Tre sanger etter Ragnar Vigdal – New Recording
TERJUNGENSEMBLE and folk singer Ingebjørn Logvik Reinholdt have recorded Tre sanger etter Ragnar Vigdal "Three songs after Ragnar Vigdal" alongside music by Agnes Ida Pettersen and Herman Vogt.
For the past fifteen years, as well as writing my own compositions, I have worked on reworking Norwegian folk music. Many of the reworkings have occupied the borderland between compositions and arrangements, and they have always reflected a desire to add something new to the original music at the same time as retaining some of its unique character. I was introduced to the three songs after Ragnar Vigdal (1913-1990) by the folk singer Unni Løvlid. Vigdal grew up near the inner part of Sognefjorden, in an atmosphere of Christian pietism. At house church meetings, he learned to sing hundreds of religious folk songs, richly embellished with ornaments and rich harmonies. In order to maintain the characteristic freedom of Vigdal's musical tradition, I have written a piece where there is not much precise coordination between the soloist and the ensemble: Ingebjørg Lognvik Reinholdt is able to sing her own highly personal versions of the songs over three virtually independent movements for strings.

The World Tourism Organization (WTO<.>) took important decisions on an action plan immediately following the attack in Bali. In order to reduce the negative impacts on tourism the plan will be enacted by the WTO Secretariat in Madrid, its sections and partners in the world tourism industry.
The World Tourism Organization, on Monday, 14 October, strongly condemned the recent attack in Kuta, located on Indonesia's peaceful island of Bali, which is a favourite destination for many international tourists.
WTO Secretary General Francesco Frangialli expressed his sympathy to the bereaved families and others affected by this atrocity in a letter to Indonesia's Minister for Culture and Tourism, H.E. I. Gede Ardika. The attack may lead to a temporary slowdown in Indonesian tourism and travel, to Bali in particular. It is too soon, however, to know what will be the resulting effects on the industry. The WTO Market Intelligence department has already begun to implement a study on how the attacks will influence tourism trends in Bali, Indonesia, Asia and the world as a whole. The analysis is projected to be complete by the end of October and presented at the upcoming Recovery Committee meeting.
This WTO Committee, chaired by the Egyptian Minister of Tourism H. E. Dr. Mamdouh El Beltagui, is scheduled for the 12 November during the World Travel Market in London. The situation concerning Bali is now one of top priorities on its agenda. Amongst the attendees will also be representatives from Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
Special advisor to the WTO Secretary-General for trade and services, Mr. Geoffrey Lipman, has attended a conference on sustainable tourism in Sydney, Australia and met with executive officials of the Australian Ministry responsible for tourism and leaders in the industry. In his speeches and meetings this week, he put a special emphasis on the threat of terrorist attacks on tourism and urged the Australian tourism representatives to join WTO in the efforts to minimize, and when possible, prevent negative impacts on the further growth of tourism.
Australia is not a WTO Member State, but an influential tourism power and whose citizens where the first to be affected by the recent Bali attack. Mr. Lipman is travelling to the Indonesian capital of Jakarta on 24 October to meet with the Minister for Culture and Tourism, H.E. I. Gede Ardika and discuss possible ways the WTO can help Indonesian tourism and especially Bali. Following the Bali attack, this new crisis was added to the agenda of the Thirty-eighth meeting of the Commission for East Asia and the Pacific and WTO/APTEC Technical Seminar on Intra-regional Tourism in East Asia and the Pacific, which will be held in Nara, Japan, between 22 and 24 October. Attendees will attempt to evaluate the impacts of the attack and take the necessary actions to minimize the negative effects.

The stabbing victim was listed in good condition.


Even if you're lying in bed for eight hours or more each night, low-quality sleep can leave you feeling tired, cranky, or achy. Try adjusting the environment around your bed as well as your evening activities, and you should notice a significant improvement. If your sleep is disrupted by heavy snoring, chronic insomnia, or severe anxiety, these methods can still help to a degree, but consulting a doctor may be necessary.
Keep the room cool but comfortable. Believe it or not, it is much easier to fall asleep in a cool environment than a toasty, well-heated room. Try to achieve a temperature in your bedroom between 60º and 67ºF (15.6–19.4ºC). Personal preference has an effect here too, but the ideal sleeping temperature for most people falls into this range. Try it and you may be surprised.
Babies and toddlers sleep better at a slightly warmer temperature. Their ideal range is between 67 to 70 °F (19 to 21 °C).
Reduce sound and light. If you are a light sleeper, wear ear plugs and eye covers to prevent stimuli from waking you up. If early morning sunlight wakes you up, hang blackout curtains to block it.
Consider white noise. If loud noises in the night are unavoidable, comforting background could help cover them up. Try running a whirring fan or playing quiet, calming instrumental music. If your room is dry, a humidifier can solve two issues at once.
Sleep on your side, with your knees pulled up slightly toward your chest. Place a pillow between your knees to keep your pelvis and spine straight.
Sleep on your back only if your mattress provides comfortable support. Try a second pillow beneath your knees and/or under the hollow of your back for additional support.
Sleeping on your stomach is not recommended, as it can cause breathing issues and neck pain. If this is the only way you can fall asleep, sleep on the edge of a tall pillow, so you can tilt your head slightly for air flow, but don't need to wrench your neck to do so.
Test different pillow arrangements. Some people sleep without a pillow, while others prefer one or two large, soft pillows. Go with the option that keeps your neck and shoulders relaxed throughout the night. If you feel tense when you wake up, and can't find a pillow that works for you, try rolling up a towel and placing it under your neck for direct support.
If you can't find a comfortable position for your arms, try holding a large pillow, rolled up towel, or stuffed animal.
Use heavy blankets in cool to normal temperature. A heavier blanket or cover can increase your sense of security while falling asleep. Depending on personal preference and current weather, you may prefer a light quilt, a warm, thick comforter, or even a weighted bean blanket.
Get comfortable in hot weather. Change your sleeping setup when the weather gets warmer, especially if you wake up sweaty or feeling trapped in the bedclothes. If you normally sleep naked under blankets, try sleeping in pajamas under just a sheet.
Take a cool shower just before you go to bed.
Turn on a fan to keep you and your room cool.
If you don't have air conditioner, wet cloths or paper towels and drape them over your face and arms. Alternatively, attach a mister or fine mist gadget above your bed so that it can spray your face with cool water. For example, you could use a plant mister.
Use your bed only for bedtime. Work, games, and most other activities should be done at a table or desk instead of on the bed, and in another room whenever possible. Training yourself to associate the bed with sleep or calm bedtime activities can help trigger falling asleep more consistently.
Listen to a book on tape or a podcast, with your eyes closed. If this keeps you up, listen to nature sounds instead.
Eat a small snack if you tend to wake up hungry, such as a glass of milk, a banana, or a small bowl of low-sugar cereal.
Exercise earlier in the day. Exercising is a great idea, as long as you don't wake yourself up with a workout right before bed. Exhausting yourself to extreme fatigue will not produce restful sleep, but some form of physical activity is often a necessity to help you stick to a daily sleep schedule.
Finish the day with a light meal. As mentioned above, your body slows down as it starts to sleep, including your metabolism. If you eat a heavy meal before bedtime, your slowed metabolism could keep you uncomfortably full – or return to "active mode" and produce unwanted energy.
Be careful about hot showers and exercise before bed. When your body transitions from active to resting, everything slows down, and temperature drops. Raising the temperature from a hot shower or a workout session will slow that process down, making it more difficult to sleep. If you need exercise to get tired, or a shower to get comfortable, start it earlier so you have at least thirty minutes to cool down before going to sleep.
If you want to shower right before bed, it's okay to take a warm shower, as this will not interfere with your sleep.
Avoid most electronics. Your brain chemistry interprets blue light as early dawn, which makes your brain more active. Phones, game consoles, and computers are all sources of blue light. Games, work, puzzles, and other activities that involve mental effort may make it especially difficult to sleep.
If you decide to use your computer at night, install Flux to make your computer screen change to redder and pinker "sunset" colors at night.
Avoid stimulating vitamins, supplements, and foods. You probably know that caffeine and sugar keep you awake, including caffeine found in soda and chocolate. Other substances that disturb your sleep include B-vitamins, steroidal medication for asthma, beta-blockers, opiates, ginseng, and guarana. If you take any of these as regular evening supplements, take them earlier in the day instead.
Do not change your medication schedule without consulting a doctor.
Drinking more water can help pass chemicals through your body faster, but this can be counterproductive if you end up waking up in the night to pee.
Avoid alcohol and cigarettes before bed. The rush from cigarettes or any tobacco source can keep you up or cause anxious, restless slumber. The alcohol advice may seem more unusual, since alcohol puts you to sleep. The rhythm of your sleep after alcohol, however, is significantly disrupted. Avoid alcohol in the two to three hours before bed, or you might wake up in the night, or wake up tired in the morning.
Take sleep aids if necessary. If you are having trouble sticking to a sleep schedule or sleeping the whole night through, melatonin can safely be used to encourage this behavior. For severe insomnia, doctor-prescribed sleep medication may be required, but regular use can build up tolerance and even reliance on the drug. Follow your doctor's instructions and skip the drug when possible to mitigate this situation.
Talk to a doctor about sleep apnea. This common condition, characterized by snoring, cuts off air to your lungs while you sleep, causing restless sleep or frequent waking. You are more likely to be affected if you are overweight or have breathing problems. Your doctor may recommend a "sleep lab" where your sleep is monitored to find out more.
Do I have to sleep when I'm not tired?
Yes. You do have to sleep, because if you don't, you will regret this the next day.
How can I stay cool when I'm under my blankets and it's hot?
Uncover yourself, use a thinner blanket (or just a sheet), or wear less. Open a window or turn on a fan or air conditioner if you can.
Is fast food also a stimulant for restless sleep?
Yes, the salt, sugar, and unhealthy ingredients in fast food can make it harder to sleep, especially if you eat it close to bedtime.
I have a diffuser; should I use the lavender or peppermint scent?
The lavender scent can help you relax, so try that. You can also try scents like jasmine or rose.
What should I do if I keep waking up with a sore neck and back?
It may be your mattress or pillow. Try a new pillow before looking into new mattresses.
What is the best way to find my ideal sleeping position?
When attempting to sleep, try one position for 15 minutes, then change after that time to a new position. Repeat until you run out of positions to try. You'll know the right one when you feel the most comfortable and at ease.
Do you have any tips on how to get a solid five to eight hours of sleep per night?
Try white noise such as a fan blowing - but not directly over you, as it can make you cold. Turn the phone and TV off an hour before bed, and read a book until you feel sleepy.
Can I use my phone to read an e-book in bed?
Yes you can, but it will most likely make you have a more difficult time trying to sleep. If you want a story to be read, put the e-book on audio. Try not to read a suspense, action, or horror book.
What time should a 9 - 11 year old go to bed if they should wake up at 7:15 am for school?
It is recommended that you get nine to ten hours of sleep per night. That said, you should go to sleep at nine or ten o'clock at night.
I get extremely hot at night. It's almost impossible to sleep if my room is warmer than 68 degrees. My husband thinks I'm crazy. Any suggestions?
Try setting up a fan next to your bed. Sleep on top of the sheets and wrap yourself in a thin blanket. Try keeping some cool/ice water in a bottle by your bed to drink when you get hot.
How do I get in a comfy position?
If you have chronic sleep problems, keep a daily sleep diary. Write what you ate before bed, your last three or four hours of activity, how you felt when you went to bed, and how you felt when you woke up. Compare your entries every few days to help you find patterns, such as activities that keep you awake, or foods that lead to restful sleep.
If you're a female, track your cycle to see if your hormones could be preventing you from sleeping comfortably.
If you want to find your body's most comfortable sleeping position, pay attention to how you wake up in the morning. Try replicating this position when going to bed for a comfortable sleep.
Keep running fans more than arm's length away from your bed, to avoid catching fingers or long hair in the blades.
Before leaving fans or other "white noise" sources on all night, read the safety label to find out if there is an associated fire hazard.
To sleep comfortably, keep your bedroom cool by opening a window or turning down the heat, since the ideal sleeping temperature is around 60 degrees F. If you're often disrupted by sounds during the night, try turning on a fan to create white noise. You can also wear ear plugs and eye covers to block out light and sound. To make falling asleep easier, you'll want to avoid using electronics, like phones or computers, immediately before bedtime, because the blue light they produce makes your brain more active.

Mindfulness and Square Dancing:
Do-Si-Do Awareness
by Maya Frost
When I was 12, one of my best friends was a square dancer.
Twice a week, her family would pile into the Country Squire station wagon
and head to the Grange Hall, where they'd gather with their square dancing club
for an evening of music, friendship and do-si-do.
As a regular guest, I was fascinated by the form but, in the height of my
coolness-conscious years, also acutely aware of the overwhelming dork factor.
These people lived to square dance.
They skipped around for two or three hours at a time, twirling and smiling
and dabbing at their foreheads between dances. They hunted for holiday-themed
fabric months before special dances in order to whip up the perfect ruffled dress
and matching shirt for each occasion. They packed their petticoats
and headed to Penticton, British Columbia every summer for a regional
square dancers' convergence.
The square dance girls were just as boy-crazy as my regular friends, but they had
a built-in way to hold hands with the guys they liked. As for me, I had a major crush
on my friend's older brother who, at 15, was an articulate, ambitious student body
president with piercing blue eyes and blond hair to his shoulders (it was 1972, after all).
In one of our (for me, anyway) excruciating conversations involving much blushing,
he told me that square dancing was like meditation. "It's a way to forget about everything
except what's going on right now. You have to pay attention to what the caller says,
and let your mind and body make sense of it naturally, without trying too hard."
At the time, I had only a fleeting familiarity with meditation, and I didn't see much
similarity between these suburban, gingham-clad dancers and the Hare Krishnas
who offered carnations to passersby on downtown Portland street corners.
Years later, I have to marvel at his insight.
Square dancing IS like meditation. There's no focusing on memories of the
past or worries about the future. Instead, a square dancer must remain in a
state of acceptance and anticipation. The caller will determine the next move,
and no amount of second-guessing or outsmarting will help you become
more effective--or more popular.
As a square dancer, you're surrounded by other dancers but not really attached
to a particular one--your matching outfits notwithstanding-- because you are
constantly moving among the others. Your attention is directed toward
whatever comes up--in this case, the caller's command and your subsequent
focus on that engagement, however brief.
There's a continuous current of possibilities, and your state is that of relaxed readiness
without any judgment. Other than the moment your crush happens to be holding
your hand, there is no partner or move that is better than any other.
The beauty is in the flow of it all and the awareness of being fully there.
For the square dancers, their Wednesday-and-Saturday-night gatherings provided
fellowship, fitness and an opportunity to really let go. Despite the hopelessly unhip
pointy white shoes and the Hee-Haw setting, the dancers had discovered a way
to make mindfulness, well, FUN if not exactly cool.
Perhaps it never crossed their minds that they were engaging in anything but
entertaining exercise. But if a 15-year-old boy--cute or not--could see it, I'm guessing
that others recognized the sense of connection they gained in an evening of
fully-present partner swinging.
We tend to think of mindfulness as something to be experienced only through
meditation. WRONG. Mindfulness involves us 100% in the present moment,
but we don't need a cushion, maple bench, or incense to get there.
In our mindful moments, we are at our finest and most human--open, forgiving, focused,
compassionate and connected.
Sitting, standing, or swinging your partner, that's a good place to be.

ATTENTION CLOSURE: Geneva Wilderness Area will be closed during a restoration project beginning Saturday, April 27 through May 19. This project will improve habitat for gopher tortoises and other upland species with partial funding through the US Fish and Wildlife Service Partners in Wildlife Program. For more information, please check this website or call 407-665-2214.
The Geneva Wilderness Area is a 180 acre site that lies to the south of the Geneva community on SR 426 in East Seminole County. The Geneva site contains an array of native Florida plant communities from Mixed Hardwood Swamp and Mesic Flatwoods, Scrubby Flatwoods and a lake system, all supporting an equally diverse collection of wildlife. A hike through these habitats can reward visitors with sighting gopher tortoise, white-tailed deer, wild turkey, grey fox, sandhill cranes, and other wading birds. One primitive campsite is available for reservation.


Piracy is Dead. Well, Ubisoft better hope it isn't as their new Pirate game, Skull and Bones, has been given a brand new trailer for E3. Created by Ubisoft Singapore, it will release in 2019.
Skull and Bones is set in the Indian Ocean, where your aim is to steal every last coin and become the pirate no one can take down. You can choose your type of mission, much like Sea of Thieves, and it also takes place in a shared world, also very reminiscent of Rare's pirate game. There is a huge amount of inspiration taken from Assassins Creed Black Flag.
