Fears of Burmese missile site

[postlink] https://burmacampaignjapanteam.blogspot.com/2010/12/fears-of-burmese-missile-site.html [/postlink]

Witnesses in Burma claim to have seen evidence of secret nuclear and missile sites being built in remote jungle, according to secret US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks, heightening concerns the military regime is trying to develop nuclear weapons.
A Burmese officer quoted in a cable from the US embassy said he had witnessed North Korean technicians helping to construct an underground facility in foothills about  500 kilometres north-west of Rangoon.
‘‘The North Koreans, aided by Burmese workers, are constructing a concrete-reinforced underground facility that is ‘500ft [150m] from the top of the cave to the top of the hill above’,’’ according to the cable. The reports add rare detail to rumours that have circulated since 2002 that Burma is covertly seeking a nuclear bomb with North Korea’s help. Both countries have  denied this  and Burma insists there are no North Koreans in the country.

The cables will compound international concern over Iranian and North Korean nuclear programmes, and show why Barack Obama has made nuclear non-proliferation a central plank of his foreign policy. There is a report of a businessman offering uranium to the US embassy in Rangoon and that he said that he and his associates would sell it to other countries  such as Thailand if the US did not buy it. The embassy bought it.

On Myanmar, U.S. and China Worked Closely

[postlink] https://burmacampaignjapanteam.blogspot.com/2010/12/on-myanmar-us-and-china-worked-closely.html [/postlink]

BANGKOK — As the United States searches for new ways to nudge Myanmar toward democratic change, it may find an unexpected ally in China, according to secret diplomatic cables.
Internal State Department correspondence made public by WikiLeaks shows a much less adversarial relationship between the United States and China over Myanmar than the language of official statements or years of posturing at the United Nations might suggest.
Chinese officials acknowledge their differences with the United States but appear to share American frustrations at the junta’s handling of the country’s economy and at times show impatience at the slow pace of political change.
“The Chinese clearly are fed up with the footdragging by the Than Shwe regime,” Shari Villarosa, the head of the United States mission in Myanmar, said in a confidential cable in January 2008 that referred to the country’s aging dictator, Senior Gen. Than Shwe.
“The Chinese share our desire to get them to the negotiating table,” Ms. Villarosa said in a note to Washington after hosting the Chinese ambassador, Guan Mu, for lunch.
China and the United States both want the same thing in Myanmar, said an official from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Yang Jian, according to a separate January 2008 cable: “stability, democracy and development.”
“Therefore, China and the United States should show unity, particularly in the U.N., in addressing the situation in Burma,” the cable is quoted as saying.
Over the past two decades, politics in Myanmar have unfolded with a good-and-evil storyline fit for Hollywood: a brutal military government has persecuted a democratic opposition movement led by a pretty and charming freedom fighter, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the winner of the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize who until last month was under house arrest. When a landslide victory by Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi in 1990 was ignored by the generals, Western nations lined up behind her. China and other neighboring countries, by contrast, lined up to invest in natural gas ventures and buy timber and gems.
But what comes across in nearly 400 cables relating to Myanmar and sent by American diplomats over the past three years is a more nuanced picture. The diplomats report the tyrannical tendencies of the junta but also point out many problems with the “sclerotic” leadership of a democratic opposition and its undemocratic ways. Some American diplomats are privately convinced by the argument put forward by many Asian countries that sanctions do more harm than good, a view that runs contrary to official American policy.
One cable from 2008 describes the party of Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi as very poorly managed — “not the last great hope for democracy and Burma,” the cable says — and dominated by its “Uncles,” the party elders.
Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi remains “popular and beloved,” the cable says, but her party is “strictly hierarchical, new ideas are not solicited or encouraged from younger members and the Uncles regularly expel members they believe are ‘too active,’ ” said the cable’s author, Leslie Hayden, who was the head of the political and economic section in 2008. The same cable, which was described as a “candid” assessment of American policy after two years in the country, described sanctions as doing little good.
“While our economic sanctions give us the moral high-ground, they are largely ineffective because they are not comprehensive.” Ms. Hayden wrote. “Burma’s biggest client states refuse to participate in them.”
The cables show Washington’s determined support for pro-democracy groups and dissidents opposing the military government. Ms. Villarosa reported that the embassy made a point of inviting dissidents and democracy activists to its diplomatic functions as a way of demonstrating its “commitment to promoting freedom and democracy.”
But diplomats also reported a deep skepticism toward some elements of the Burmese pro-democracy movement. A detailed cable from the embassy in Thailand in May 2008 sharply criticized some Burmese exile groups that were described as out of touch with reality in Myanmar and that had “lost credibility.” Thailand is home to a large number of Burmese pro-democracy activists.
“At present, it is unclear whether the principal leaders of the exile community in Thailand can act as credible agents for change in Burma,” said Eric G. John, whose tour as the ambassador to Thailand ended this month.
The attitudes in the cables toward the Burmese government are predictably skeptical. But the tone changes according to the personality of the diplomats.

Reporter sentenced to 20 years in prison; junta diversifies censorship

[postlink] https://burmacampaignjapanteam.blogspot.com/2010/12/reporter-sentenced-to-20-years-in.html [/postlink]

A Burmese video reporter who challenged government policies in her work was sentenced to 20 years in prison on 31 December, report Mizzima News, the South East Asian Press Alliance (SEAPA) and other IFEX members. The junta has also stepped up its censorship regulations with the military controlling newspaper content, and film and video footage under greater scrutiny, reports Mizzima News.

Hla Hla Win, an undercover broadcast journalist with the Oslo-based Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB), was arrested in September 2009. She was working on a story connected to the second anniversary of the 2007 Saffron Revolution, in which Buddhist monks participated in countrywide protests against the junta that were brutally suppressed. Win has also covered other sensitive issues like the trial of detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. DVB told the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) that 14 of its undercover reporters were in detention as of December 2009.

Win's assistant, Myint Naing, was also detained and sentenced to 25 years. The two were sentenced to seven years imprisonment at the time of their arrest for using an illegally imported motorcycle. Lawyers are hesitant to represent the two accused because of fear of reprisals by local police and authorities, reports SEAPA. They have been charged with violating the Electronic Act which bans unauthorised use of electronic media. The Act is a way to punish journalists for sending information outside the country, says CPJ.

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and Thailand-based Burma Media Association (BMA) said: "The very dangerous work carried out by Burma's video reporters, made famous by the documentary Buma VJ, is crucial for the dissemination of independent, propaganda-free information both domestically and abroad. ASEAN and the rest of the international community should make press freedom one of the conditions for recognising the 2010 elections." Burma is a member of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Since the 2007 Saffron Revolution, security forces have been cracking down on Burmese who send photos and video abroad to exiled news media and opposition groups, reports RSF. "The Irrawaddy" reports that a former military officer and a foreign affairs official were sentenced to death and other foreign affairs officials were sentenced to 20- and 15-year prison terms on 7 January for leaking information and photos about a general's trip to North Korea to exiled news media.

Meanwhile, the junta has also imposed new censorship regulations. As of January 2010, all films and video shot at locations associated with the Burmese Railways have to be submitted to the Myanmar Rail Film and Video Scrutiny Board, reports Mizzima News. The production of all films, video and musical tracks/CDs must be submitted again to the Myanmar Film and Video Censor Board for final approval. This means two separate censor boards control both pre-production and post-production.

To install Windows 7 on your Mac

[postlink] https://burmacampaignjapanteam.blogspot.com/2010/12/to-install-windows-7-on-your-mac.html [/postlink] To install Windows 7 on your Mac using Boot Camp you will need the following:

1. All firmware updates installed on your Mac (use Apple Button -> Software Update… to check)
2. A Windows 7 installation DVD
3. Your OS X Leopard installation DVD
4. At least 10GB of empty hard drive space on your Mac (you can probably get away with less but you’ll have almost no room to install anything other than the OS)
5. An hour if all goes well, up to 5 hours if not
6. Though not absolutely required, it’s a VERY good idea to have a complete and up to date Time Machine backup of OS X – it really came in handy for me. Because part of the process involves partitioning your drive, there’s always the distinct chance something will go wrong and everything will be wiped out.
7. Patience, possibly a great deal of it. Having a book handy will also help kill time during the partitioning, installing etc).

Installing Windows 7 via Boot Camp

1. Here goes. First thing – close absolutely every open program you can. That includes those things running in the Apple Menu that you always forget about. Don’t worry about killing the Dock or Dashboard – having those running is fine.
2. Now open a Finder and navigate to Applications -> Utilities and double-clickBoot Camp Assistant.



3. Click Continue on the initial Introduction screen. Ignore the fact that it doesn’t mention Windows 7 as a possible OS to install.

4. Now you have to decide how much space you want to allocate to Windows 7. You might be able to get away with going as low as 6GB, but I would highly advise against it. You’ll have almost no space left over to install software, and your page file in Windows might cause frequent crashes. I opted for 20GB, which left me with just a bit over 16GB to use after installing Windows 7.
To change the amount of space to dedicate to Windows 7, click the small divider between Mac OS X and Windows, and drag it to the left



5. Once you’ve determined how much space you want to allocate to Windows 7, click the Partition button.



6. The partitioning itself doesn’t take particularly long. If you receive an error, proceed to step 10 of the “How to install Vista with Boot Camp” tutorial. It provides all the troubleshooting info you need to resolve partitioning issues. Once you’ve cleared up any problems, or if everything just goes smoothly, proceed with the next step in this tutorial.



7. Once completed you’ll notice a new BOOTCAMP drive on your desktop.




8. Now insert your Windows 7 DVD and click the Start Installation button.



9. Your Mac will restart, and Windows 7 will boot. You’ll be prompted with a window asking you which partition you want to install Windows on. Select the one withBOOTCAMP in the Name column. Selecting anything else may wipe out OS X or cause serious problems. Then select the Drive options (advanced) link.



10. With the BOOTCAMP volume still selected, click the Format link.



11. Click OK.



12. And Windows 7 will begin to install. It’s a fairly boring process, so you may want to grab yourself a cup of coffee or your beverage of choice. But don’t go too far away, because when your system reboots, you’ll need to remove the Windows 7 DVD.





13. With the Windows 7 DVD removed, your Mac will automatically boot back into Windows 7, and the installation will complete. You’ll be prompted to select your language, keyboard layout etc. The rest of the Windows 7 installation process is very straight forward.

14. Once the installation has completed and your Mac has restarted again, you’ll be able to use Windows 7. WiFi will work immediately (no drivers to install) so connect to the Internet. Windows 7 will then begin to download updates, including the proper video card driver. Let it do its thing.



15. Once completed, you’ll be prompted to reboot yet again. Do so.



16. Once Windows 7 boots back up again, you’ll notice the resolution is much better, and you can enable the advanced graphics features.




17. But if you check for sound, you’ll notice there are no sound drivers installed.



18. Insert your OS X Leopard DVD. When prompted, select Run setup.exe.




19. The Boot Camp installer will launch. Click Next to begin.



20. Select I accept the terms in the license agreement and then click Next again.




21. Make sure that Apple Software Update for Windows is checked, and clickInstall




22. The Boot Camp installer will do its thing, and install all the required drivers.




23. Notifications will pop up with each driver that gets installed.



24. Once completed, click Finish.



1. And yet again you’ll be prompted to reboot. Remove your OS X Leopard DVD from the drive, and click Yes to restart.



2. If you still have problems with sound not working, you’ll need to install the Realtek drivers. This tutorial will explain what to do.

3. That’s it, you’re done! When your Mac boots, hold down the Option key to select which Operating System you want to boot into.




good luck

Learning Computer Programming

[postlink] https://burmacampaignjapanteam.blogspot.com/2010/12/learning-computer-programming.html [/postlink]

A resource for Learning Computer Programming. I post articles, tips, tricks, techniques, algorithms etc. related to C++, PHP and other programming language. Many of the things that I discuss here applies to most languages.

In nowadays web 2.0 world use of Lightbox is very common. While Lightbox, fancybox (similar to the former) are great scripts and have wide uses, creating a script similar to these is never a bad idea. If you learn, read on else use of one of those scripts, they’re great and easy-to-use.
For those of you who haven’t heard about the script or don’t know what they do, see the following image:

Chances are, you might surely have seen it somewhere or the other. These scripts are generally used to display some content in kind of like a dialog box (modal one, for those of you who're geeks) while the rest of the content gets blackened. Looks great? Yes it does!
Okay, for those of you still here I wanna confess that I didn’t put enough time knowing how those scripts actually work. I just got an idea myself the other day and thought it just might work. This is not to say that I myself have invented some new way, it’s just that I don’t know how those scripts work but I know one way that gives similar results.
As you can see from the above image, there is not much to a simple Lightbox clone, we have a (1) Blackening effect (2) The content box.

1. Blackening Effect: For this I’ll create a “div” element on the fly and set its properties such that it has a black color and some transparency, a large z-index means floats on top of the rest of the content and back content (with normal z-index) cannot be interacted with anymore. We’ll fill the current screen with this “div” which will require us to place this element at the topmost and leftmost coordinates relative to the current viewable area. This will be (0, 0) when the page isn’t scrolled at all.
   We’ll also have to size the element to have it span the whole viewable area of the browser.
   These two things will make sure that no matter where we have scrolled in a page and whatever be the window size, this black overlay element always covers the current viewport.
2. 2. Content Box: A nicely styled box with a close button is all we need. We’ll place it at the center of the screen. Since we have calculated the topmost and leftmost coordinates relative to the current viewport and we also have the current viewport’s dimension, we can easily position this at the center, no brainer! We’ll give this a z-index larger than the black overlay element such that this is at the top of everything.
   Besides this, we’ll also have to take care that these two elements move along with the page in case user tries to scroll the page when the our lightbox is open. This will make sure that (1) black overlay element always fills the screen (2) content box is always at the center.

Sounds pretty simple? Well, it is! It’ll call this Blackbox, you may call it whatever you feel like. Here is the code (Demo here):

Technically, a computer is a programmable machine. This means it can execute a programmed list of instructions and respond to new instructions that it is given. Today, however, the term is most often used to refer to the desktop and laptop computers that most people use. When referring to a desktop model, the term "computer" technically only refers to the computer itself -- not the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Still, it is acceptable to refer to everything together as the computer. If you want to be really technical, the box that holds the computer is called the "system unit."

Some of the major parts of a personal computer (or PC) include the motherboard, CPU, memory (or RAM), hard drive, and video card. While personal computers are by far the most common type of computers today, there are several other types of computers. For example, a "minicomputer" is a powerful computer that can support many users at once. A "mainframe" is a large, high-powered computer that can perform billions of calculations from multiple sources at one time. Finally, a "supercomputer" is a machine that can process billions of instructions a second and is used to calculate extremely complex calculations.

Myanmar junta chief praises 'successful' elections

[postlink] https://burmacampaignjapanteam.blogspot.com/2010/12/myanmar-junta-chief-praises-elections.html [/postlink]

YANGON, Myanmar – Myanmar's ruling strongman said Wednesday that the country's recent elections — condemned by the international community as rigged — were free and fair and a step toward handing power to the people.
Junta chief Senior Gen. Than Shwe made the assessment about the country's first elections in two decades in a speech marking National Day, which celebrates a 1920 student strike against British colonialism.
According to the state-run New Light of Myanmar newspaper, Than Shwe said the successful completion of "free and fair elections" left just two steps to complete in the junta's self-styled 'roadmap to democracy:' convening Parliament and building a modern developed democratic nation with a Head of State elected by Parliament.
Government opponents and outside observers were critical of the Nov. 7 polls, saying they were held under unfair conditions and that the results were manipulated to allow the military-backed party to win.
The U.N. special envoy to Myanmar said Sunday that he told the military government that it must address concerns about the polls. Vijay Nambiar, speaking after a two-day visit, said concerns about the elections have to be addressed "as transparently as possible."
"This is important for laying the foundation of a credible transition" to democratic rule, he said.
Than Shwe in his speech said that plans were now under way "to hand over state power to the public."
Although final official results have yet to be announced, a tabulation based on reports in state media shows the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party garnered nearly 80 percent of the seats in the two-house Union Parliament.
The election results assure that the military, which has ruled Myanmar since 1962, will continue to wield decisive power.

The disbanded party of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi also marked National Day, with the 65-year old Nobel Peace laureate, recently released from 7 1/2 years of detention, calling for unity, courage and perseverance to achieve peace, security and prosperity. She called on the junta to release all political prisoners.

Aung San Suu Kyi calls for national reconciliation on National Day of Burma

[postlink] https://burmacampaignjapanteam.blogspot.com/2010/12/aung-san-suu-kyi-calls-for-national.html [/postlink]

calendar, 1^st December on this year’s Western calendar. It is a day of abrupt change in political meaning, which celebrates a boycott by university students of the nation protesting the British colonial regime’s the 1920-Act of Rangoon University.

 People of Burma believe the 1920-boycott as the country’s foremost step towards independence. The 1920 Rangoon University Act gave access to higher education only for students from the wealthiest families. However, students from poor families had no chance to study University education. Thus, the University Student’s called for boycott in due course to review the act.

 Burma’s universities have produced many national figures; the most outstanding student leader was Aung San, father of Democracy Icon Aung San Suu Kyi. In the 1988 revolution, student leaders were also the initiators of the nation-wide uprising. National Day in Burma has become an important strong linkage between political and educational liberty.

 On Wednesday (1^st December, 2010), Burma’s key figure of democracy, Aung San Suu Kyi urged political leaders and their parties, social workers and their civil networks, citizens and civil-servants including military personnel to be courageous, unyielding and united in joining political activities as the country needs their contributions. In an interview with the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB), Aung San Suu Kyi said the first step toward national reconciliation is to "change the people's mindsets."

Suu Kyi, General-Secretary of the NLD, also said that she is ready to work in partnership with anyone or any group that is trying to endorse national reconciliation, in a speech on 1^st December on the 90th anniversary of National Day at the headquarters of the National League for Democracy (NLD).

According to her, the NLD has been alive as a political party, not for the party's survival but to work for the people.

“I have worked to accomplish national reconciliation, and I will keep struggling to endorse national reconciliation,” she said.

“The current education system in Burma has many weak points,” Burma’s Nobel peace laureate said in her National Day talk. “If the citizens are weak in education, there will be many negative consequences. We have to reduce those weaknesses in the education system.”

On the same day, Burma’s Junta chief Senior General Than Shwe made the assessment regarding the country's first elections in two decades in a speech marking National Day, which honors the 1920 student boycott against British colonialism.

According to the junta’s mouthpiece newspaper New Light of Myanmar, Than Shwe said the triumphant achievement of "free-and-fair elections" left just two steps to complete in the junta's self-styled 'roadmap to democracy'; the remaining two steps are to hand over state power to the public through Parliament and to construct an advanced developed democratic nation with a Head of State elected by Parliament.

The junta’s challengers and political analysts have been criticizing the 7-November polls as launching under unfair setting and that the voting-stations were handled by the military and its followers giving favor to the junta-backed party.

For that reason, numerous nations condemned the voting as a charade due to unfair election laws that barred many opposition parties and candidates to take part in the polls.

In the meantime, the NLD is in the hunt for a judicial resolution to restore the party as a legal political party after losing its status in last May after it refused to reregister for the recent election. The party boycotted the voting to complain the biased law that forced to drop Aung San Suu Kyi as a member if the NLD wanted to contest in the polls.

The NLD on this occasion of the 90^th Anniversary National Day released an announcement urging the military regime to release all political prisoners without delay so as to commence a process of national reconciliation.
