Syrian Kurds want France to press Erdogan to allow Kobane relief during Paris visit

Syria’s main Kurdish party has called on France to press Turkey to allow reinforcements to reach the besieged town of Kobane when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visits Paris on Friday.

“The international coalition’s airstrikes help us but the answer is to provide arms on the ground to allow our fighters to resist,” said Khaled Issa, the representative in France of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), at a press conference in Paris Wednesday.

Issa accused Turkey’s Islamist government of “preventing direct help to the resistance” and of secretly supporting the Islamic State (IS) armed group.

“We are counting on the wisdom of President Hollande to convince Mr Erdogan to break off relations with the terrorists and not prevent direct help to the resistance,” he said.

He also called on Hollande to persuade Erdogan to deliver the authorisation to establish a corridor between Kobane and other parts of Syria controlled by the PYD.

Two groups of Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters were on their way to Kobane on Wednesday after Ankara authorised their passage.

While relations between Erdogan’s government and the Iraqi Kurdish leaders have improved, it has been reluctant to collaborate with the PYD because of its links to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) which has been in conflict with the Turkish state for decades.

Hollande, Qatar emir attend Total boss funeral in Paris

President Hollande and the Emir of Qatar attended the funeral in Paris on Monday of Christophe de Margerie, the boss of the Total oil company, who was killed in a plane crash in Russia last Monday.

The French prime minister, as well as many other French politicians and foreign dignitaries, and IMF boss Christina Lagarde, also attended the funeral which was held in the Saint-Sulpice church in central Paris.

Russian ambassador Alexandre Orlov represented Vladimir Putin, who last week said de Margerie was a “true friend” of his country.

Christophe de Margerie was killed when the private plane in which he was travelling, struck a snowplough on take off at Moscow airport. Three crew members also died in the crash.

Just hours before the crash, De Margerie had met Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev at his country residence outside Moscow to discuss foreign investment in Russia, the Vedomosti business daily reported.

Russian investigators said that the driver of the snow-clearing machine was drunk and that his actions, along with "an error by air traffic controllers", appeared to be behind the crash.

The incident is being investigated by the Interstate Aviation Committee, which probes all Russian air accidents, and experts from Russia's aviation agency.

Cambodian Author Examines Extreme Militarism

The Khmer Rouge both as a movement and as a government was primarily military in nature, but its extreme militarism might have been a factor of its eventual collapse, a Cambodian author says.


Nhem Boraden, author of “The Khmer Rouge: Ideology, Militarism and the Revolution that Consumed a Generation,” is currently a student at the US Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

In an interview with VOA Khmer, he said that while it could be called a failed state, and one without a civilian structure, the Khmer Rouge regime had all the elements of a modern military.

As a result, it was overambitious and overconfident and eventually provoked a conflict with Vietnam, which led to its demise, he said.

That lesson can be applied to the Middle East and Iraq, where political and social problems should be solved to prevent the development of similarly over-militarized organizations, Nhem Boraden said.
The Khmer Rouge: Ideology, Militarism and the Revolution that Consumed a Generation by Nhem BoradenThe Khmer Rouge: Ideology, Militarism and the Revolution that Consumed a Generation by Nhem Boraden

Nhem Boraden’s book, which draws heavily from materials collected by the Documentation Center of Cambodia, is one of the first to examine “the entire organizational life of the Khmer Rouge.”

“There were organized militia/guerillas, there were organized divisions in the provinces, which the Khmer Rouge called regions, and there were regional armies,” he said. “And the chief-of-staff headquarters [in Phnom Penh] controlled nine divisions, alone totaling up to 60,000 troops.”

He says the overwhelming presence of its military as the sole state structure might have given the Khmer Rouge a false sense of strength, leading to its fall.

He said the lack of a civilian structure also made the Khmer Rouge weak against the Vietnamese-installed People’s Republic of Kampuchea, which was rebuilding the country’s civilian administrative structure.

Nevertheless, the extreme guerrilla group helped extend Cambodia’s civil war for another two decades.

Nhem Boraden said that lesson can be applied to the Middle East, especially instability in Iraq. Civil war, instability, and military campaigns require committed recruits, and those recruits only fight when there is a social or political issue at stakes.

Without a good solution to these problems, the war risks becoming “chronic” just as we have seen in Cambodia in the past decades, he said.

The author stopped short of drawing a parallel between the Khmer Rouge and the Islamic State but said the circumstances that allowed the rise of both are similar.

Many academic history books about the Khmer Rouge have tended to focus on the genocide and key individuals in the movement like Pol Pot, Ieng Sary, and Duch.

For Cambodian-Canadians, Shock Remains After Parliament Shooting

Cambodians living in Ottawa say Wednesday’s shooting at parliament there has created fear throughout the city.

The unprecedented attack, in which the assailant, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, 32, was killed by security personnel, happened just 10 kilometers from Teav Vannat, who has lived in the city since 1980.

He told VOA Khmer that even though there is no new threat, there is still a sense of shock. “Canada has never had an attack like this,” he said.

His daughter, who attends Ottawa University, near the parliament building, did not attend school after the shooting, he said.

Some Kolvath, who moved to Ottawa after fleeing the Khmer Rouge, lives five minutes from the scene of the attack. He said roads are open, but many people are choosing to stay home.

“I have a daughter who works downtown, but I told her not to go,” he said. But he said life would return to normal soon.

LAN messenger

A LAN messenger is an instant messaging program designed for use within a single local area network (LAN).

Many LAN messengers offer basic functionality for sending private messages, file transfer, chatrooms and graphical smileys. The advantage of using a simple LAN messenger over a normal instant messenger is that no active Internet connection or central server is required - and only people inside the firewall will have access to the system.

Illegal Logging Ravaging the Last Forests, Activists Say

PHNOM PENH—Forestry activists say at least 55,000 tons of luxury wood were sent from Cambodia to China this year alone.

Activists from communities that live near or among some of Cambodia’s last forests told reporters Wednesday that illegal logging is ravaging their homelands, part of a “systematic” trade that includes the participation of high-ranking officials, authorities and security forces.

A network of activists, from groups ranging from the northeastern provinces, the remote north, and along the southwestern Cardamom Mountains, denounced the trade, which deforests Cambodia and sends timber to China and Vietnam.

“The authorities are complicit in a system, from the governor to the village chief,” said Em Sopheak, a representative from Mondolkiri who works with the Community Legal Education Center.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Agriculture reported a major increase in reported forestry crimes, from around 500 in 2012 to nearly 1,900 in the first nine months of this year.

Activists say legitimate businesses, too, can create problems. They point to companies that have licenses to buy confiscated wood from the ministries of Agriculture and the Environment in the northeast.

But company trucks also move illegal timber, said Mom Sokin, a member of the Community Peace Network in Kratie province.

“There are about 50 to 60 trucks transporting wood each night,” she said. “They are from the provinces of Preah Vihear, Stung Treng and Kratie. Normally, they are both legal and illegal.”

Cambodia’s forests, which once covered three quarters of the country, now account for only 38 percent of cover today, and could be spread across as little as 20 percent of the country by 2020, activists say.

Sao Sopheap, chief of cabinet for the Environment Ministry, disputed the claims. “The government has a policy to fight forest crimes, and we cure and replant the forests that are destroyed,” he said.

Washington State Senator Sees Business Potential in Cambodia

A US state senator has wrapped up a trip to Cambodia, where he was looking to improve trade ties.

Sen. Don Benton, from Washington state, told VOA Khmer that Cambodia has many business opportunities, compared to other Asean countries.

“American businesses should be looking at their presence in the Asean community,” he said. Cambodia’s physical location, geographically, is “right in the center of that economic community.”

Critics of Cambodia’s business climate say it is mired in corruption and inefficiencies that can make it problematic to invest in.

But Benton pointed to tax and duty benefits, widespread high-tech communication and other benefits that make Cambodia worthy of consideration for investors. And he said corruption is becoming less prevalent.

“They are cleaning it up, and you can do business there in the open, without having to get involved in unethical practices,” he said. “That’s a big message the American government can help relay to American businesses, that the [Cambodian] government is very serious about corruption and cleaning it up.”

In an eight-day trip that ended last week, Benton met with the ministers of Commerce, Agriculture and Tourism, as well as high-ranking officials close to Prime Minister Hun Sen.

“We certainly want to do more business with Cambodia, so our mission was about increasing business opportunities for Washingtonians in Cambodia and about increasing import opportunities for the country of Cambodia as well,” he said.

Potential businesses include rice milling, tourism, canning operations, cool storage and textiles, he said. Those kinds of businesses and others will increasingly succeed as Cambodian power costs decrease, he said.

Cambodia’s ambassador to the US, Hem Heng, said US investment should come to Cambodia, where there is now peace and stability—not just for the Cambodian market of 15 million, but for the Asean market of 600 million people.

That means a lot of opportunity for investment, in construction, power, agribusiness and tourism, he said.

Hundreds March Against Australia Refugee Deal

Hundreds of monks and activists marched through Phnom Penh on Friday calling for the cancellation of an agreement signed last month that could see refugees who sought asylum in Australia resettled in Cambodia.

As part of the deal, the Australian government will hand over $35 million in aid money in exchange for Cambodia agreeing to resettle an undecided number of refugees currently being held in Australia’s offshore detention center on the South Pacific island of Nauru.

Opposition politicians and human rights advocates in both countries have slammed the deal and blasted Australia for failing to meet its international obligations to refugees. Outside the Australian Embassy in Phnom Penh on Friday, the condemnation continued.

“Australia used to be famous for democracy and human rights,” said Oeur Narith, an opposition CNRP activist, over a loudspeaker attached to a tuk-tuk and facing the embassy. “But not anymore. The world can see what you are doing.”

“You are making deals with a country that is famous for corruption and human rights violations,” Mr. Narith shouted toward the embassy. “Why would you do this?”

Australia has said that asylum seekers on Nauru—who have held their own demonstrations against being sent to Cambodia, with reports of suicide attempts and children sewing their lips shut—would only come to Cambodia on a voluntarily basis.

In an interview Thursday, Interior Minister Sar Kheng said he was doubtful that many of the refugees would agree to come to Cambodia.

“I think that it is right for us to be worried [about the refugee deal], ” he said. “But if we worry too much, it will create a problem. I do not have hope that those people will come to Cambodia because it is only on a volunteer basis.

“If they do not come voluntarily, Australia will not force them and we also have no right to force them. We don’t do risky things without thinking,” Mr. Kheng said.

But Denise Coghlan, who heads the Jesuit Refugee Service in Phnom Penh, said that, while reports of self-harming asylum seekers were disturbing, they did not give a complete picture of the situation on Nauru.

“We only hear the stories of those who do not want to come to Cambodia,” she said. “With the limited freedom they have on Nauru and the prospect of staying there forever, some may want to come.”

The crowd of about 200 activists made their way through the city Friday morning, stopping to deliver petitions asking for the U.N., the National Assembly, the Council of Ministers, the European Union office and the U.S. Embassy to put pressure on Cambodia and Australia to cancel the deal.

The protesters carried placards with slogans such as “Cambodians are not Aborigines” and “Asylum Seekers are Not Convicts.”

Outside the Australian Embassy, three Australian citizens sat in the shade cursing the deal—they had joined the march despite working for NGOs here that require them to sign agreements not to participate in political activities.

“We will not be silenced when it comes to human rights issues,” said one of the NGO workers who asked not to be named. “I haven’t been this fired up since we marched against Joh Bjelke-Peterson in Brisbane in the ’80s,” she said, referring to the longest-serving premier of the state of Queensland, who was nicknamed the “Hillbilly Dictator” and fell from grace after being convicted of perjury and found to have manipulated elections.

“I am more ashamed of my current government,” the Australian said. “They did this deal with no transparency, and they are giving $40 million to a government that they know is corrupt. And besides, what’s this about ‘stop the boats?’ We are Australian, we are all boat people.”

WinRAR 5.00 Beta 2

WinRAR is an archiving utility that completely supports RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives. It consistently makes smaller archives than the competition, saving disk space and transmission costs. WinRAR offers you the benefit of industry strength archive encryption using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a key of 128 bits. It supports files and archives up to 8,589 billion gigabytes in size. It also offers the ability to create self extracting and multi volume archives. With recovery record and recovery volumes, you can reconstruct even physically damaged archives.

What's new in WinRAR 5.00 Beta 1:
 • New RAR 5.0 archiving format. You can use "RAR 5.0" option in archiving dialog or -ma command line switch to create RAR 5.0 archives.
 • Older software including older WinRAR versions is not able to decompress RAR 5.0 archives, so if you plan to send an archive to other people, it is necessary to take the compatibility issue into consideration. You can select "RAR" instead of "RAR5" option in archiving dialog to create RAR 4.x archives compatible with previous WinRAR versions.

Changes in RAR 5.0 compression algorithm:
 • maximum compression dictionary size is increased up to 1 GB in 64 bit WinRAR. 32 bit WinRAR version can use up to 256 MB dictionary when creating an archive. Both 32 bit and 64 bit versions can unpack archives with any dictionary size, including 1 GB;
 • default dictionary size for RAR 5.0 is 32 MB, typically resulting in higher compression ratio and lower speed than RAR 4.x 4 MB. You can use "Dictionary size" archiving dialog option or -md switch to change this value;
 • RAR 5.0 decompression can utilize several CPU cores. Though not to same extent as in compression algorithm, it improves the decompression speed on large files with poorly compressible data or when using BLAKE2 checksums.
What's new in Beta 2:
 • When adding an incompressible file to non-solid RAR archive, beta 1 could duplicate the first megabyte of archived file, resulting in damaged file.
 • "Add to archive..." context menu command could place a created archive to a wrong folder.

Screencast Capture Lite Is A No-Frills, Free Screen Recording Tool For Windows

We have covered a lot of screencast applications that allow you to to create good quality screencasts, and each one of those provides you with a different collection of options to choose from. Some let you change the frame rate for the screencast, while others allow you to choose different resolutions for the video. In all cases, each tool has its own positive and negative points and, it is the requirement of the users that determines which tool suits them best. If configuration options overwhelm you and you are looking for a minimalistic, no-frills screencast capturing application, take a look at Screencast Capture Lite for Windows. It is a simple application that allows you to create good-quality screencasts of the entire screen or a selected area, without confusing you with any configuration options. Keep reading past the break for further details.

The main interface is as simple as it gets. When you run the app, a blank window pops up with a few buttons at the top, such as Primary Screen, Storage folder, a play button and a Start Recording button. Click the Screen preview button to specify where you want your screencast files to be saved once they are captured. The play button allows you to preview the screen capture, letting you adjust your windows and all the other elements that you want to record without having to begin recording first.



As stated in the introduction, the application allows you to capture your screen using two methods. The Primary Screen method lets you capture everything that is happening on your primary monitor, while the  Fixed Region option provides you with a resizable box that can be dragged anywhere and resized both vertically & horizontally, allowing you to capture any area on your screen. There is also a third option called Single Window for capturing the screencast of any window of your choice, but it didn’t seem to work in my testing and produced an error every time I tried to use it.


Apart from this issue in the Single Window method, the application works just fine for both full-screen as well as custom screen region screencasts. The results are in a decent quality, and the lack of any customization options makes it ideal for even the absolute beginners among us.

Screencast Capture Lite works on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Plants vs Zombies

Plants vs Zombies is a tower defense game developed by PopCap Games in which you have to defend yourself against hordes of funny zombies. This is the second release of the series, available to download for Android and iOS systems. It includes many novelties, such as four new territories and a wider range of plants and zombies to choose from. Undoubtedly, this title is one of those games with enough detail that makes users adore playing, together with its intuition for touchscreen devices. With clearer graphics compared to the original release, this title offers a new level of excitement with three new worlds to play.

This game is particularly recommended for those users who want to test their coordination, defense skills and resource management while playing. However, some people have criticized the fact that this version does not have a minigames section as the previous PvZ had. Otherwise, you can still play those games if you fulfill additional missions and solve brain-teasing challenges found on various levels.

As an analogy, the game style was planted as a seed with the first version, but right now it has bloomed, offering a bigger variety than before. Far from the usual garden, you will travel around in time and space, visiting Ancient Egypt, the Wild West, the Pirates Seas and the Far Future. All these worlds have their unique characteristics as well as different kinds of zombies that will challenge your strategy skills.

Google Chrome Latest Version

Google’s game changing browser Chrome combines sophisticated technology with a simple UI, to create a faster, safer and easier browsing experience. Launched in 2008, Google Chrome quickly dominated the browser market to become the most used browser globally within 4 years of its public release. Google’s rapid and continuous development cycle ensures the browser continues to compete with the other most popular and advanced web browsers available.

Speed

Perhaps the area Google invested most of its development time to differentiate from other browsers. Google Chrome launches extremely quickly from your desktop, runs applications at speed thanks to a powerful JavaScript engine and loads pages rapidly using the WebKit open source rendering engine. Add to this quicker search and navigation options from the simplified UI and you have a browser that is pretty hard to beat on speed, especially if gaming is your thing.

Clean, simple UI

Google Chrome’s most striking feature and a substantial factor in its popularity - the simple UI hasn’t changed much since the beta launch in 2008. Google focused on trimming down unnecessary toolbar space to maximise browsing real estate. The browser is made up of 3 rows of tools, the top layer horizontally stacks automatically adjusting tabs, next to a simple new tabs icon and the standard minimize, expand & close windows controls. The middle row includes 3 navigation controls (Back, Forward & Stop/Refresh), a URL box which also allows direct Google web searching and a star bookmarking icon. Extensions and browser settings icons line up to the right of the URL box. The third row is made up of bookmark folders and installed apps. Easily overlooked now, this clean UI was a breath of fresh air compared to the overcrowded toolbars of popular browsers pre-2008.

Privacy

Another hugely popular feature, Incognito mode allows you to browse privately by disabling history recording, reducing traceable breadcrumbs and removing tracking cookies on shutdown. Chrome’s settings also allow you to customize regular browsing privacy preferences.

Security

Chrome’s Sandboxing prevents malware automatically installing on your computer or affecting other browser tabs. Chrome also has Safe Browsing technology built in with malware and phishing protection that warns you if you encounter a website suspected of containing malicious software/activity. Regular automatic updates ensure security features are up to date and effective.

Customization

A vast selection of apps, extensions, themes and settings make your browsing experience unique to you. Improve productivity, security, navigation speed, pretty much anything you can think of with apps and extensions from the Google Chrome Store. Install themes created by top artists or make your own using mychrometheme.com. Sign in with your Google Account to back up your contacts, preferences, history as well as access all your Google tools with a single login.
