Halloween Day

Halloween is one of the oldest holidays with origins going back thousands of years. The holiday we know as Halloween has had many influences from many cultures over the centuries. From the Roman's Pomona Day, to the Celtic festival of Samhain, to the Christian holidays of All Saints and All Souls Days.

Hundreds of years ago in what is now Great Britain and Northern France, lived the Celts. The Celts worshipped nature and had many gods, with the sun god as their favorite. It was "he" who commanded their work and their rest times, and who made the earth beautiful and the crops grow.

The Celts celebrated their New Year on November 1st. It was celebrated every year with a festival and marked the end of the "season of the sun" and the beginning of "the season of darkness and cold."

On October 31st after the crops were all harvested and stored for the long winter the cooking fires in the homes would be extinguished. The Druids, the Celtic priests, would meet in the hilltop in the dark oak forest (oak trees were considered sacred). The Druids would light new fires and offer sacrifices of crops and animals. As they danced around the the fires, the season of the sun passed and the season of darkness would begin.

When the morning arrived the Druids would give an ember from their fires to each family who would then take them home to start new cooking fires. These fires would keep the homes warm and free from evil spirits.

The November 1st festival was called Samhain (pronounced "sow-en"). The festival would last for 3 days. Many people would parade in costumes made from the skins and heads of their animals. This festival would become the first Halloween.

During the first century the Romans invaded Britain. They brought with them many of their festivals and customs. One of these was the festival know as Pomona Day, named for their goddess of fruits and gardens. It was also celebrated around the 1st of November. After hundreds of years of Roman rule the customs of the Celtic's Samhain festival and the Roman Pomona Day mixed becoming 1 major fall holiday.

The next influence came with the spread of the new Christian religion throughout Europe and Britain. In the year 835 AD the Roman Catholic Church would make November 1st a church holiday to honor all the saints. This day was called All Saint's Day, or Hallowmas, or All Hallows. Years later the Church would make November 2nd a holy day. It was called All Souls Day and was to honor the dead. It was celebrated with big bonfires, parades, and people dressing up as saints, angels and devils.

But the spread of Christianity did not make people forget their early customs. On the eve of All Hallows, Oct. 31, people continued to celebrate the festivals of Samhain and Pomona Day. Over the years the customs from all these holidays mixed. October 31st became known as All Hallow Even, eventually All Hallow's Eve, Hallowe'en, and then - Halloween.

The Halloween we celebrate today includes all of these influences, Pomona Day's apples, nuts, and harvest, the Festival of Samhain's black cats, magic, evil spirits and death, and the ghosts, skeletons and skulls from All Saint's Day and All Soul's Day.

The 7th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM)

Asia & Europe working together to meet global challenges.

For the past 12 years, the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) has been the main multilateral channel for communication between Asia and Europe, strengthening interaction and mutual understanding between the two regions through dialogue. As one of the four “coordinators” of ASEM, the European Commission underpins the process, notably through an ASEM Dialogue Facility.

2008, an historic enlargement

ASEM will formally admit six new members in 2008: Bulgaria, India, Mongolia, Pakistan, Romania and the ASEAN Secretariat, bringing the membership up to 45 partners. Representing half of the world’s GDP, almost 60% of the world’s population and 60% of global trade, ASEM embraces virtually the whole of Asia and Europe.

ASEM brings together educators and researchers

A key achievement of ASEM is

TEIN (Trans-Eurasia Information Network), the first large-scale research and education network connecting regional researchers in Asia with their counterparts in Europe. Over 60 million users now have access to improved network performance providing mutually beneficial global research collaboration between Asia and Europe.

ASEM brings together lawmakers, businesses and civil society

Civil society groups, parliamentarians and the business community meet at the

Asia Europe People’s Forum, Asia-Europe Parliamentary Partnership and Asia-Europe Business Forum, held every two years alongside ASEM Summits.

ASEM brings together the peoples of Europe and Asia

The Singapore based

Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) promotes understanding and collaboration between the peoples of Asia and Europe through cultural, intellectual and people-to-people exchanges. The outreach to civil society and the wider public undertaken by ASEF complements the official ASEM dialogues.

Full speeches text of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao at ASEM7

Dear Colleagues,

Today, leaders of ASEM partners have gathered in Beijing to explore ways for win-win progress through dialogue and cooperation between Asia and Europe. I wish to extend, on behalf of the Chinese Government, warm welcome and sincere greetings to you all.

The spread of worsening international financial crisis has seriously affected world economic growth and stability. Global issues such as energy, food, the environment, natural disasters and poverty have become more pronounced and intertwined. Mankind is facing severe challenges in the pursuit of development. The theme of the meeting - Vision and Action: Towards a Win-Win Solution is highly relevant, as it shows the strong political commitment of ASEM partners to closer cooperation and common development. We will focus our discussions on how to address the international financial crisis and exchange views on international and regional developments, food security, cooperation on disaster relief, sustainable development and dialogue among civilizations in a candid, pragmatic and in-depth manner. We will build consensus, work in a pioneering spirit, and make contribution to ASEM cooperation, world harmony and sustainable development.

The ongoing financial crisis is rarely seen in history. Countries and organizations concerned have taken measures in response, and we hope these measures will produce the desired results soon. To comprehensively resolve and overcome the crisis calls for concerted efforts and global action. Countries in Asia and Europe are an important force for international financial stability and world economic growth. We must work together and show confidence, solidarity and cooperation to the world. I suggest that we make greater efforts in the following aspects:

First, countries should, first and foremost, run their own affairs well. In the face of the crisis, it is important for leaders to act in the fundamental and long-term interests of the people, make decisions in a firm, resolute, responsible and timely manner and use necessary fiscal, monetary and regulatory tools to restore market confidence as soon as possible and maintain economic growth. It is also important to offer proper guidance to public opinion and maintain social stability.

Second, step up coordination and collaboration among governments. The financial departments, central banks and financial regulators around the world should closely follow the development of the crisis and study its trend and impact, enhance information sharing, take effective measures on macroeconomic policy coordination and international financial regulation and increase capacity for jointly fending off financial risks.

Third, intensify regional financial dialogue and cooperation. Members of the Eurozone have reached agreement on the basic principles to tackle the financial crisis. We in Asia are also exploring the possibility of expanding the size of bilateral currency swap arrangements under the 10+3 framework and working to put in place a regional foreign exchange reserves pool at an earlier date. Building on this, Asia and Europe should bring into play their respective advantages and make full use of the existing mechanisms to advance inter-regional financial cooperation on a broader scale.

Fourth, push forward the reform of the international monetary and financial systems. The present crisis has laid bare the weaknesses in the existing international financial system and governance structure. The international community is calling for accelerated reform and the establishment of a fair, just and effective international financial system. I deem it important to do three things in this regard: first, increase the say and representation of developing countries in international financial organizations; second, expand the scope of the regulation of the international financial system, with particular emphasis on strengthening the supervision of the major reserve currency countries; and third, establish a reasonable global financial rescue mechanism.

We should draw serious lessons from the financial crisis and properly handle three relationships. First, the relationship between financial innovation and regulation. We should advance financial innovation in a steady manner according to needs and possibilities and at the same time strengthen financial regulation. Second, the relationship between virtual and real economy. We should always place importance on the development of real economy and put the economy on a solid and reliable basis. In addition, we should coordinate virtual economy with real economy and enable the former to better serve the latter. Third, the relationship between savings and consumption. We should see to it that consumption and savings are well-coordinated.

At present, the fundamentals of the Chinese economy are sound. China has maintained a GDP growth rate of 9.9% in the first three quarters of the year. The international financial crisis has some impact on China's financial sector and the Chinese economy, but the impact is limited and can be managed. The Chinese Government will follow a flexible and prudent macroeconomic policy to resolutely maintain economic and financial stability and the stability of the capital market and ensure steady and relatively fast economic growth. I am confident that we will achieve our goals. This will be China's most significant and effective response to the crisis and also our biggest contribution to the world.

Dear Colleagues,
In the era of growing globalization, countries are becoming more and more interdependent. This is especially true with Asian and European countries, which share one continent. We should stick to the right approach of dialogue and cooperation for win-win progress and make ASEM more effective, pragmatic and open so as to bring benefits to the people and lift Asia-Europe cooperation to a new height.

- Strengthen political dialogue and maintain peace and stability in Asia and Europe. There can be no durable development and prosperity without peace. We should keep to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, resolve differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation, advance multilateralism, promote democracy, harmony, coordination and win-win progress and work for the building of a harmonious world.

- Deepen business cooperation and promote economic growth. Economic development constitutes an important basis for the resolution of global issues. Given the current financial crisis, it is of particular importance to prevent trade and investment protectionism. We should strengthen trade and investment cooperation between countries in Asia and Europe, implement the ASEM Trade Facilitation Action Plan and Investment Promotion Action Plan, intensify consultation and coordination and work for early progress in the Doha Round negotiations. To further promote trade between Asia and Europe, China proposes that we explore the possibility of establishing a multilateral cooperation mechanism for ASEM trade security and facilitation to create enabling conditions for trade growth between the two regions.

- Put people first and pursue sustainable development. We should actively promote international development cooperation, redouble efforts in poverty reduction, provide more assistance to developing countries within our regions and strive for the achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals on schedule. We should adhere to the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities", carry out international cooperation on climate change in keeping with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol, and implement the "Bali Roadmap". We should strengthen technological cooperation to improve energy efficiency and conserve energy. We should promote social harmony by upholding justice and equity and ensure that the benefits of development are shared by all the people. In order to achieve sustainable development of Asian and European cities, China proposes the establishment of an ASEM Eco-City Network to facilitate exchange of experience and promote the concept of conservation culture.

- Maintain food security and promote cooperation on disaster relief. We should place high importance on agriculture, accord food security greater priority in our development policies and adopt integrated mid-to-long-term measures to raise agricultural productivity. We should intensify international coordination to curb excessive speculation, improve the food trading system and establish a fair and equitable international trading order for agricultural products. We should step up cooperation in disaster reduction and relief to minimize the risk of disasters and their damages. To this end, we wish to put forward an initiative on ASEM Cooperation on Disaster Relief Capacity Building to strengthen cooperation on disaster reduction and management among Asian and European countries.

- Promote dialogue among civilizations and build open and inclusive societies. Only by being open and inclusive can a country prosper and can our continent prosper. We should build on the tradition of cultural exchanges between Asia and Europe, take advantage of modern transport and information technologies to enrich the contents and diversify the forms of exchanges and increase the participation of the young people and the media. With this in mind, China proposes that countries in Asia and Europe take turns to host the ASEM Culture and Arts Festival.

Dear Colleagues,

This year marks the 30th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up program. In the past 30 years, China has engaged in dialogue and cooperation and achieved win-win progress with the rest of the world. Reform and opening-up have transformed China's political, economic and social outlook, significantly enhanced its overall national strength, and integrated the Chinese economy more closely with that of the region and the world. China has been playing a more active and extensive role in the settlement of international hotspot issues, UN peacekeeping operations, cooperation on poverty alleviation and disaster reduction and international social and cultural exchanges. Reform and opening-up have not only brought enormous benefits to the Chinese people but also offered tremendous opportunities for and instilled vitality in global development. We will remain committed to the path of peaceful development, unswervingly pursue reform and opening-up, adhere to an independent foreign policy of peace, and work tirelessly for the noble cause of peace, cooperation and development of mankind.

In our efforts to fight against the earthquake disaster and host the Beijing Olympic Games, we were committed to opening-up and international cooperation, and received broad understanding, support and assistance. On behalf of the Chinese Government and people, I wish to take this opportunity to express sincere gratitude to our ASEM partners and the entire international community.

Dear Colleagues,

ASEM's development in the past twelve years shows that exchanges lead to progress, mutual benefit sustains cooperation and win-win progress ensures a bright future. Reviewing the past, we feel encouraged by our achievements. Looking forward, we are fully aware of our heavy responsibilities and the challenges ahead. Let us strengthen our conviction that with dialogue and cooperation, we can achieve mutual benefit and win-win progress. Let us work together to overcome challenges and write an even more splendid chapter in the annals of Asia-Europe cooperation.

Thank you.

Are your passwords saved? Check up on suspicious sites, avoid Web forgeries and make sure a site is what it claims to be.

Anti-Malware

Firefox 3 protects you from viruses, worms, trojan horses and spyware. If you accidentally access an attack site, you’ll receive a full-sized browser message as a warning. A continuously updated list of attack-sites tells us when to stop you from browsing, so there’s nothing for you to update or maintain.

Anti-Phishing
Shop and do business safely on the Internet. Firefox gets a fresh update of web forgery sites 48 times in a day, so if you try to visit a fraudulent site that’s pretending to be a site you trust (like your bank), a browser message—big as life—will stop you.

Parental Controls
Enforce parental control settings you’ve entered on Windows Vista with Firefox 3—stop unwanted downloads and more. Firefox’s intuitive design keeps you from second-guessing your setup.

Anti-Virus Software
Firefox 3 integrates elegantly with your antivirus software. When you download a file, your computer’s antivirus program automatically checks it to protect you against viruses and other malware, which could otherwise attack your computer. [available in Windows only]

Add-ons
Firefox looks for a secure connection before installing or updating add-ons, 3rd party software, and Personas.

Password Manager
We’ve seamlessly integrated this feature into your surfing experience. Choose to “remember” site passwords without intrusive pop-ups. Now you’ll see the “remember password” notification integrated into your view at the top of the site page.

Clear Private Data
Clear your private data automatically—with just one click or a keyboard shortcut. Your info is gone for good—on your own computer or the one at your local library. It’s that easy.

Customized Security Settings
Control the level of scrutiny you’d like Firefox to give a site and enter exceptions—sites that don’t need the third degree. Customize settings for passwords, cookies, loading images and installing add-ons for a fully empowered Web experience.
Automated Update
Our open-source security strategy lets us find—and fix—security issues in record time, making Firefox the safest way to surf. Install upgrades when you receive automatic notification or wait until you’re ready.

Pop-Up Blocker
Banish pop-ups (and pop-under windows) from your surfing experience once and for all. Or, find a happy medium—choose to view blocked pop-ups or create an “allow” list of sites whose pop-ups you’re okay with seeing.

Customization

Add-ons Manager
You can now find and install add-ons directly in your browser. You no longer need to visit the add-ons Web site, simply fire up the new Add-ons Manager. Not sure which add-on is right for you? Ratings, recommendations, descriptions and pictures of the add-ons in action help you make your selection. The fully integrated Add-ons Manager even lets you view, manage and disable third-party add-ons in a few easy clicks.

Over 5,000 ways to customize
The sky’s the limit with a growing library of over 5,000 Firefox Add-ons, little extras you choose to download and install for a browser that works your way. Manage online auctions, upload digital photos, see the weather forecast in a glance and listen to music all from the convenience of your browser. There’s no need to open a new window or tab for each task. Discover add-ons that help you streamline coding and Web development, like Firebug, which lets you look deep into the structure of a web page.

Browser Look & Feel
Dress up your browser as you like it. With themes, choose a darkened control panel reminiscent of a space ship, faux wood paneling, or hundreds of other unique looks to surround your surfing. With Personas, add a simple, lightweight “skin” to your browser in an instant.

Beyond Add-ons
Add-ons are the cornerstone of customization, but adapting Firefox to suit your style doesn’t stop there. You can add new search engines, change toolbar preferences, display different sizes, shapes and styles for your browser’s navigation buttons and more. With additional preferences, you can specify a Web mail client, such as Gmail, to open up when you click on an address from a Web page or set up a news reader application for the blogs you encounter.

Tips & Tricks

Go Directly to Your Favorite Sites
You can add keywords to your bookmarks for easier and faster access. From the Library, just add a short keyword in the keyword field, and you’ll be able to access that bookmark by simply typing that keyword into the address bar. For example, you could give your del.icio.us account the “links” keyword, and from then on simply typing “links” into the address bar will take you right there.

Create Smart Folders
If you’re an advanced Web surfer who frequently needs to save and track a variety of specific sites, here’s a useful time-saver: using Firefox 3’s Library, you can create and save searches into folders that are then automatically updated as you add sites to your bookmarks and history.
First, open the Library by selecting the "Organize Bookmarks" option from the Bookmarks menu. Then, enter your search terms in the search box. Then click the Save button to create a Smart Folder.

Manage Your Downloads
If you’re a frequent downloader, you can use the download manager window to keep track of all your downloads. You can pause and resume downloads, and save yourself time by opening files directly from the manager.
If you need to track down a past download, go to Tools → Downloads and use the search box to find your file. Once you’ve found it, double-click on the file to open it, or right-click and choose "Copy Download Link".

Discover Developer Tools
If you’re a Web developer, Firefox’s developer tools will make your life easier. The Mozilla Add-ons site offers many tools to streamline the development process, including Firebug to edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any Web page, Tamper Data to view and modify HTTP/HTTPS headers and POST parameters, and the DOM Inspector to examine any HTML or CSS element with a simple right click.

Set the Web Up Just Like You Like It
Now you can use Web-based protocol handlers to provide quick access to your favorite Web applications. For example, you can set Firefox up so clicking on a mailto: link on any site will open a new message in your preferred webmail provider rather than your computer’s default mail program (note: this feature is only available with webmail services that have registered with Firefox 3).
Go to Tools → Options → Applications to select the default application for each protocol or to select “Always Ask” if you prefer to choose the application yourself every time.

If you’re a Web app developer, check out more about how to add support for Web-based protocol handlers in the Mozilla Developer Center.

Home buying tips

House hunting? Buying a property advertised as “For sale by owner” can save you money. But you have to be careful guiding your own transaction: it takes work, and some sage advice. Here’s what you need to know.



Ask Bold Questions
When you’re ready to visit houses, don’t be shy. Ask outright why the owners are moving and what the neighbours are like, suggests LeBlanc. But be aware that “they don’t have to tell you,” warns CanEquity Mortgage president Anthony De Almeida.

“The most important question is: Has there been any damage to the home?” says De Almeida. Sellers may be aware of problems that are “hidden from view”—like unreliable wiring, a basement flood one spring or persistent mold temporarily wiped clean. While sellers are legally obliged to disclose certain defects, the rules differ from one province to the next and “not everyone knows the rules, especially if it’s a private sale,” he adds. Contact your provincial real-estate regulatory agency to find out what the disclosure rules are where you live.

When making an offer, be sure to specify a closing date (usually within 30 to 60 days of signing) and what you expect to be included in the sale—appliances and fixtures, for example. In a hot market “don’t hold back: make your offer quickly, and be flexible,” says LeBlanc. “If the sellers have children and want to wait until the end of the school year to move, can you wait the extra month or two?”

If so, tell them. It might make your offer more attractive than other, higher offers.

Worth the Price?

When should you walk away? When the seller stalls or won’t cooperate on a house inspection, or can’t be firm about a closing date. Or when the seller suggests doing anything odd with the numbers: inflating or deflating the price and having you pay more than what’s written in the agreement, for instance.

If the seller suggests an ultra-fast closing of, say, 10 days, find out why, says De Almeida. Ditto if they refuse an inspection. “If you have no professional representing you, you have to be more careful,” he advises. “The seller must provide ample time” for the buyer to learn about the property.

When it’s time to close the deal, consult a mortgage broker to get the best interest rate. They take your mortgage application to 25 banks, which compete for your mortgage. LeBlanc says that it can save you two to five percent throughout years of payments.

Those savings easily finance the real estate lawyer you’ll need to hire. The lawyer checks for liens, verifies ownership and facilitates the transfer of the property.

Ready, set, research

Once you're ready to take the plunge, figure out what you can afford. Many lenders prefer that your housing costs -- mortgage, property taxes and homeowners insurance -- amount to no more than 33% of your monthly gross income, but some will go much, much higher.

If you're buying in an inflated market, a fixer-upper is a good choice. (See "7 creative ways to buy your first house.")
You can buy anything from slum dwellings to upscale homes if you're looking into the foreclosure market. Don't count on massive cost savings. (See "The safest ways to buy foreclosures.")
Select an experienced, full-time real-estate agent before you begin your search. Ask friends and family for referrals. Check newspapers and Web sites to see which agents are working hard to market homes.

Interview at least three agents. Contact references and verify the agents' record of integrity with the state licensing board.
Realtors -- agents who are members of the National Association of Realtors -- must abide by a code of ethics. Realtors also have access to the Multiple Listing Service.
Make sure you can work with your agent. The average home shopper looks at 15 houses before buying.
Know who your real-estate agent represents. Unless you have a buyer's agent, your agent will be working for the seller.
Shop for a loan.

Compare the APR -- annual percentage rate -- detailing the interest and fees you'll be charged to get the loan. Those who participate in first-time-homebuyer programs should beware. Is the loan officer paid a commission after steering you to a particular program? You can get a rough idea of what you monthly payments will be by using a mortgage calculator.
Compile a home wish list. How many bedrooms do you need? Are good schools and access to public transportation priorities? Do you need a large fenced yard?

Most people purchase a single-family home. Other options are available, like condominiums, tenancy in common (see "Tenancy in common questions and answers"), stock cooperatives and co-housing. (See "Co-housing.")
When you find your dream home, do more homework.

Talk to residents about what they like and don't like about the neighborhood.
Observe traffic patterns.
Check the zoning on vacant lots.
Ask your real-estate agent for a written comparative market analysis to see if the asking price is fair.

More steps for your protection
If you're satisfied, it's time to present an offer listing the purchase price, earnest money, the closing and move-in dates and other details. You can offer less than the asking price, but be careful.

Once negotiations are complete, take several steps before you go to closing, the final meeting where you sign documents and take possession of the house.

Get a home inspection, preferably by a member of the American Society of Home Inspectors. Attend the inspection and read the report. If the home has problems, ask the seller to agree in writing to make the repairs.
Compare rates for homeowners insurance. An additional policy is needed for a home in a flood zone or earthquake-prone area.
A home warranty may make sense if you're buying an older home. Read the fine print to learn what the policy will cover. Note that warranty companies prefer to repair rather than replace broken items. (See "A home warranty is no guarantee.")
If you're planning to sell your house, keep the following in mind:

Set a reasonable asking price. If the price is too high, your home won't compare well with similarly priced houses, and you won't even get shoppers, let alone a buyer.
Hundreds spent on landscaping, paint and deep cleaning can add to its value by thousands. (See "Speed your home sale with these fast fix-ups.") Bake cookies before you show your home.
Make sure your real-estate agent has a detailed marketing plan that includes Internet exposure. Or explore ways to reduce the agent's commission. (See "3 ways to pay lower real-estate commissions.")
