U is for Umbrella. I write this post on a rainy day in Athens. Umbrellas are out for the purpose of protection from the rain. Where I teach, in Sri Lanka, children are very familiar with umbrellas as they also serve the purpose of protection from the intense equatorial sun.
Children can draw a handle and raindrops.


"Over several visits staff have always been helpful..."
Staff engaged in dialogue and were helpful in their advice.
Thank you for your comments posted on this website about your experience at Hexham General Hospital.
I am pleased to hear about the staff dialogue being so helpful to you as such feedback is a very good morale boost for all staff.


In the Spirit of Working Together, Little Fighters Cancer Trust joined the Drakenstein Transformation Team in their Barefoot for a Day event in 2013.
The idea behind the Barefoot for a Day initiative is to inspire the community to Give and to Work Together. People from the community are encouraged to go to school, church or work as per normal, dressing as you would on any other day.
The idea is that you take off the shoes you are wearing and gift it to the project. You then go barefoot for the entire day, as a reminder of how uncomfortable it is for those who do not have the blessing of a pair of shoes. Drakenstein Transformation will collect all the shoes by arrangement, and will distribute to those in the community who have a need for shoes.
Although this project does supply shoes to a wide variety of community initiatives, projects and organisations, the philosophy it works at building is, that it does not matter who you are, you do have something to give. Whether it is the shoes, or even your time in helping to sort out the shoes for distribution, we need to change the mind-set of South Africans to take action.
The Little Fighters Cancer Trust, with the blessings of Drakenstein Transformation, is going to adopt and adapt this basic idea slightly, keeping in mind the specific needs of Children with Cancer.
LFCT rarely distributes second-hand goods to Children with Cancer as their immune systems are depleted due to the harsh cancer treatments.
We will therefore be asking you to go barefoot on March 1st annually and to pledge the purchase of a new pair of children's shoes for us to distribute to our Little Fighters in hospital, at home and in Places of Safety.
The original aim of this project was to collect 100 new pairs of shoes, which we wanted to deliver to the Paediatric Oncology Ward at St Joseph's Home in Cape Town to offer some relief to this amazing institution, which houses up to 80 Children with Cancer annually – we exceeded our target by far!
It takes only that very first person to take action…and many will follow.
While donations of shoes are most welcome, we also accept financial contributions because that way we can utilise our NPO and PBO status and being able to buy in bulk with sufficient funds in hand, we can haggle with stores for discounts and better deals.
Financial donations also allow us to be sure that we are able to buy the right sizes and types of shoes that we need for our Little Fighters, thereby ensuring that each Little Fighter get the exact shoe they need and which fits them perfectly.
Please ensure that all shoes/donations reach us by 1 April so as to afford us sufficient time to sort & pack/purchase shoes in time for our deliveries all across South Africa.


The main goal of this thesis is to investigate query-dependent selection of retrieval alternatives for Information Retrieval (IR) systems. Retrieval alternatives include choices in representing queries (query representations), and choices in methods used for scoring documents. For example, an IR system can represent a user query without any modification, automatically expand it to include more terms, or reduce it by dropping some terms. The main motivation for this work is that no single query representation or retrieval model performs the best for all queries. This suggests that selecting the best representation or retrieval model for each query can yield improved performance. The key research question in selecting between alternatives is how to estimate the performance of the different alternatives. We treat query dependent selection as a general problem of selecting between the result sets of different alternatives. We develop a relative effectiveness estimation technique using retrieval-based features and a learning formulation that directly predict differences between the results sets. The main idea behind this technique is to aggregate the scores and features used for retrieval (retrieval-based features) as evidence towards the effectiveness of the results set. We apply this general technique to select between alternatives reduced versions for long queries and to combine multiple ranking algorithms. Then, we investigate the extension of query-dependent selection under specific efficiency constraints. Specifically, we consider the black-box meta-search scenario, where querying all available search engines can be expensive and the features and scores used by the search engines are not available. We develop easy-to-compute features based on the results page alone to predict when querying an alternate search engine can be useful. Finally, we present an analysis of selection performance to better understand when query-dependent selection can be useful.

Firework no joke'
THE fire service has warned pranksters who pushed a firework through the door of Budleigh Salterton home that it could have caused a tragedy.
The town's police are appealing for help in tracing three youngsters seen running away from a home in Norman Crescent after a firecracker was set off and pushed through a letterbox.
The incident took place at around 9.45pm on Thursday August 6 and, at the same time, three boys and a girl, all aged about 15, were seen running off.
The female was of medium build with bleached blond hair shaped in a bob, the police said.
Budleigh Salterton police community support officer Malcolm Maguire said: "Naturally, we are taking this matter very seriously because the potential for harm was great."
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said the incident could have ended in tragedy.
A spokesman said: "It could have ended in a fatality.
"Putting fireworks through letterboxes could block someone's escape route and has the potential to end in a real disaster."
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact 08452 777444 and quote Log 1179 06/08/09.

Do you remember the Easter Basket that I made? If not, here is the post on my experience, along with a link to the tutorial.
I wanted to share pictures of Lillian using the basket during her egg hunt in the backyard.
She got so excited about eggs being in the yard.
Even more than her first egg hunt the prior weekend. I think the first egg hunt helped her to know what to do at home.
This time she knew exactly what to do with the eggs!
Lillian is still playing with the eggs and scattering them all over the house. The eggs were a bigger hit than the basket that I made but that is ok with me.
I hope everyone had a great Easter and was able to spend time with their family.
I think you are a better "sewer" than you are giving yourself credit! I've been browsing through you past posts and am impressed – you did a great job on this Easter basket and your little girl is absolutely darling! Thanks for commenting on my sharing post last week. It was fun to get to know more about you!!
What thread do you use? I'm new to sewing and it's the one question I can't find an answer to. Love your projects.
So far I like Gutterman 100% polyester. I do have Coats & Clark Dual Duty XP and then cheap Coats & Clark from Wal-mart but don't prefer them. You can tell that they have more loose fibers plus they seem to break easier.

Astrid is the name behind a story of misfortune and a life-changing incident. The protagonist of this documentary lived a quiet and humble life until a near fatal accident led to the amputation of her right foot. After countless tests and many obstacles, Astrid has come out on the other side holding a Paralympic medal to show for all her effort. This story speaks of the emotional and professional journey, which inevitably and completely transforms a person to the point where Astrid is a different person from who she was in the beginning. The accident, the 13 surgeries that followed, the decision to amputate, getting up and walking again, pushing through the frustration of the first and disastrous descents and the larger than life effort to improve, to get back up and keep going. This is Astrid. A story, another story, and not for that matter less exciting and frenetic, that shows us that what matters is not so much where we begin or where we are going, but what happens to us on this journey and what we do with it, along with everything we live through from one moment to another. On one end we have a broken young woman and on the other, a champion on the floor crying with emotion for having won a Paralympic Games. "Winner of best documentary feature film " at the Outdocs film in China "Public choice award" at the We Cam Fest in Colombia "Best sport documentary" at the BKK DOC in Thailand "Best documentary" at the Inclús Film Festival in Spain "Special Mention" at the Buenos Aires Indies Festival in Argentine
William Christie, The art of giving
American, William Christie is one of the great ambassadors of French culture and the French way of "feeling art", as he likes to say. His career as a harpsichordist, conductor, musicologist and teacher remains closely linked to France. It is at the origin of a remarkable musical adventure: his rediscovery of baroque music. This film seeks to give voice to one man's unique point of view and to lift the veil on the path of this enormous talent, who is as lucid and charming as he is inaccessible.
The rope epidemic
Since the 2000s, several waves of suicides have followed one another in the Amerindian population of the Colombian Amazon. Men kill themselves out of love because their wives leave them for "white people." The whites think that the Indian does not feel anything because they do not express themselves like them. And, because in their native language, there are no words to designate the feelings. Is it possible that a whole people, the Cácuas Indians, feel nothing, have no feeling and no words to speak of love?
The Queen of Paris
A week in the life of Clement/Veronika. In the day, the young man works at a biology lab but at night, his shining alter-ego Veronika Von Lear takes the lead. As a 30-year-old, he is not one to renounce and cheerfully lives his life and desires.
The weight of the Antarctic
Located on the coast of Adélie Land, the Cap Prud'homme science base is like a little world outside our world that houses a few dozen people during the austral summer. Scientists, logisticians, mechanics, a cook and doctor form a small society whose common project is to advance science. Vincent is a glaciologist, he has been part of this community for ten years. This documentary will follow him in his activities and try to identify the strengths, beauty and fragility of the commitment of these men who live at the end of the world.
GOLDEN VOICE
Golden Voice tells the story of Jean-François Marras, a young Corsican man who became a tenor at the Paris Opera at the age of twenty-six when nothing in his life predisposed him to his artistic career. On the contrary. This film reveals the events that transformed his life and forged his destiny. We voyage back with him to his roots in Corsica, land of his origins, then off to New York where he perfects his technique and prepares his future. The film is an initiatory journey that explores family, traditions, talent, and the grace of having a great gift and then struggling to reveal it. At that moment, no limits exist. This golden voice is on track to conquer America.
First steps at the Opera
They are singers, musicians and directors. They are between twenty and thirty years old. They have been chosen for their excellence and start their residency at the Academy of the Paris Opera. Culture and music are their trump cards and their strength. They embody both diversity and living together, but also a new generation of committed artists. They talk Mozart, Puccini, Verdi… via Skype and their cell phones. They are the world and the talents of tomorrow. Along with them, throughout an entire season, we discover the mysterious world of the Opera and make it accessible to all. We keep pace with their apprenticeship, their art, their doubts and hopes until they take their first steps on the stages of the Bastille or the Garnier Opera houses. This film is their story.
Four Seasons with Dior
In 2017, Dior celebrated its 70th anniversary. The landmark event made even more noise as Italian Maria Grazia Chiuri became the fashion house's first-ever woman artistic director. She previously worked for Valentino and had to now present her debut couture collection in Paris. Go behind-the-scenes of the high-profile fashion shows, following the various stages, right from the design to the ramp walk of a brand that defines graceful femininity.
Maids: Docile and Invisible, a Story on Domestic Worker
In the Philippines, a country which prides itself as an "exporter of labor", thousands of women on a daily basis leave their families to work abroad as domestic help. However, with no unions or laws to protect them, they get the raw end of the deal, often mistreated and made to live in inhuman conditions. In worse-case scenarios, they face severe physical, sexual and mental abuse. Only a fraction of women approach NGOs and that too as a last resort. With no help coming from the international community, life continues to be a living hell for these modern-day slaves.
On March 11 2011, after a magnitude 9 earthquake, a giant tsunami destroyed most of the north eastern japanese coast, killing almost 20,000 people. But the natural disaster also killed the japanese's people trust in their government and institutions. A few days after the tsunami, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, crippled by the giant wave, started to explode. A terrible and highly radioactive nuclear cloud was released in the atmosphere. But three years after the disaster, the scary truth surfaces little by little.. And the world biggest fears have become reality. A study is showing that more and more fukushima kids have grown thyroid cysts and nodules... And that maybe, a thyroid cancer explosion is appearing. But the japanese authorities (government or TEPCO) are having a hard time acknowledging the real consequences of the disaster. So something amazing is happening in Japan. Private citizens, investigative reporters, independent doctors have decided to take matters into their own hands, and to fight against silence and lies. But are those human and environnemental damages only dramatic for Japan? Radioactive particles have crossed borders, transported by air and water. On the west coast of the United States, some fish caught in the Pacific also bear traces of contamination. In Europe, concern focuses on products imported from Japan. In France and Switzerland, numerous tests are frequently conducted to ensure that radioactive food does not enter the market. But last october the first fish with traces of cesiun 137 and 134 was found in Switzerland.. Who are these sick children? What is the real extent of the contamination - for humans and the environment? Why does the Japanese government refuse transparency? Who are these citizens, journalists, or doctors from Japan, the US and Europe who are fighting for the truth to be known? Investigation into a nuclear scandal...
Sainte Jeanne of Lestonnac - Or die or act
Jeanne de Lestonnac (1556-1640), member of the XVIth Century French nobility, niece of famous Humanist writer Michel de Montaigne and mother of five, one day decided to give it all up and fulfill the dream of her youth. She became the founder of the first female religious order devoted to education to be approved by the Church. For more than 4 hundred years her work has been spreading across the whole world. This film compares the life of Jeanne de Lestonnac and her founding ideas of the XVIIth Century with the current reality of the work of the Company of Mary Our Lady in various parts of the world. The film offers journeys. The first is a journey across time. We travel to meet Jeanne de Lestonnac by learning her story and revisiting the places that marked her life. The others are journeys across the world. Journeys to the different realities reached by this founding spirit from Bordeaux over four centuries, where it adapted and put down roots; where reality was transformed. Japan, Colombia and the Democratic Republic of Congo are the destinations we discover during this film.
We communicate more with our body language than our words. Did you know that human expressions are the same across the world? Scientists, having known this fact, are building tools to decipher not only our thoughts and emotions but also our intentions. They have made significant progress in utilizing these tools for market research, helping kids with cognitive development and even in predicting suspicious behavior. Can they use these tools to recognize violent intent in people and prevent terrorist attacks?

Get on the AI & Big Data Ethics Bandwagon!
April 2, 2019 ·	by impact ethics ·	in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Law & Policy, Public Health, Science and Technology
Bryn Williams-Jones calls on bioethicists to contribute to research and public discussions on the ethics of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data.
Not a day goes by without there being a news story about the ethics of artificial intelligence (AI) and the use of Big Data. Concerns with AI and Big Data – including on the part of industry and government – include biases in the algorithms that may be guiding autonomous vehicles, the risks following data breaches, self-learning medical decision-aids that doctors can no longer understand, and of course, killer robots. Clearly not every problematic technology involves AI, but increasingly there are learning algorithms involved in many new technological innovations such as smart watches, cellphones, and medical diagnostic aids. These innovations are grounded in ever growing data sets that combine personal information to inform decision making, and they raise concerns about governance.
There is much hope and hype about the potential social and economic benefits of AI and Big Data. Major technology companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, amongst others, are investing heavily in the sector. Municipalities are courting these companies (and smaller start-ups), and provincial and national governments are investing, all with a view to stimulating innovation and economic growth. "Move over Big Pharma – AI is here!"

Interestingly, this enthusiasm is also being accompanied by attention to social, legal, and ethical issues, leading to research opportunities. One might easily disparage this as "ethics washing", a critique that has been directed at government (and industry) investments in the ethics of genomics, stem cells, or nanotech. In this negative view, bioethics funding is a band-aid to ensure public acceptability of technological innovations that will happen despite ethics and social science critiques.
As a bioethicist who "grew up" academically during the genetics wave of the 1990s/2000s, and who benefited directly from the substantial attention to these areas, I am all too aware of the opportunities, but also of the risks, of riding the next technological wave, of joining the bandwagon. While the money is flowing, there are the resources and opportunities to do innovative bioethics research, and even to influence scientific and policy debates, and help shape public opinion. But also very real is the risk of being the "token ethicist" on the big science project, who gets used to get the grant, to justify the innovation, and to help build public acceptability (the moral imprimatur), but whose critiques fall on deaf ears. And when the topic wanes in interest, so do research funds.
What's interesting this time around, is that scientists, engineers, and companies at the leading edge of innovation are pushing the AI and Big Data ethics agenda, rather than government. These players are seeing the ethical challenges in the lab, and realising that they need help. If they get it wrong, they risk having their research falter and losing public trust (e.g., because of fear of bias, violations of privacy, and killer robots). As bioethicists, we can and should help. Yes, there's money for us in AI and Big Data ethics, but there's also an opportunity to do good research and scholarship, to get our students funded, and to help shape science and policy for the better. Great examples are the recent Montreal Declaration for Responsible AI and the new Observatory on the Societal Impacts of AI and Digital Technology, which have started galvanising the research and policy communities in Quebec, as well as across Canada and internationally.
But let's also be explicit about the fact that even if the topic is new, the issues are not. Concerns about choice and consent, about implicit bias and the stigmatisation of minority groups, the problems of resource allocation, and the difficulty of building and maintaining trust, are all major issues in AI and Big Data. But these issues are also present with human participant research and clinical ethics, with genetics and genomics, with stem cell research and nanotechnology. Over the last forty years, Bioethics has developed rich areas of specialisation in clinical ethics, research ethics, professional ethics, public health ethics, which have given us robust and tested conceptual, analytic and decision tools that must be brought to bear. Ethicists are used to working across disciplines and with a diversity of actors to analyse complex issues and to mediate diverging views.
So I call on my fellow bioethicists to join the AI and Big Data ethics bandwagon! Let's show that we already have effective and practical "applied ethics" tools to address most of the issues at hand, and that where needed we can adapt these tools and also develop new ones. Finally, let's get out into the public space and engage with citizens. (I'm doing this with three Bioethics Cafes during 2019). We can help the public to become empowered to ask the right questions of companies and government, to demand changes where needed, and so ensure that innovations in AI and Big Data actually serve the public interest, and not just private interests.
Bryn Williams-Jones is Professor and Director of the Bioethics Program at the School of Public Health, Université de Montréal, Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Journal of Bioethics/Revue canadienne de bioéthique, and Co-director of the Ethics Branch in the new Observatory on the Societal Impacts of AI and Digital Technology. @BrynWJones

UAE-based halal food producer Al Islami Foods, one of the largest frozen food companies in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), announces it has launched its first plant-based product – a burger made with sunflower protein – in response to growing demand for healthier vegan alternatives in the UAE and in time for Veganuary.
The new burger patty is 100% vegan and made with a combination of organic sunflower protein, plant-based protein from fava beans and peas, and extracts from onion, bell bell pepper, garlic, celery root, carrot and beet juice. It comes without preservatives and, according to the company, is designed to appeal especially to meat eaters in terms of taste and texture.
"We are thrilled to launch our first plant-based product at Al Islami Foods. It took our team eight months to research, develop and test this product and we are proud to have launched one of the healthiest and best tasting vegan burgers on the market," said Shahid N. Khan, CEO at Al Islami Foods, on the product launch. "Al Islami Foods has a long history spanning five decades of providing premium frozen foods to consumers. So the next logical step now was to add a plant-based product to our lineup and enter this new category."
The new plant-based burger is said to be the first in a series of plant-based products the company plans to launch in the coming months. It will initially be available in major supermarkets and hypermarkets in the UAE and is expected to be exported to other GCC markets soon. Al Islami Foods is also pursuing plans to work with hotels, restaurants and cafes.

Star Wars: DroidWorks è un videogioco educativo del 1998, ed è il primo titolo della sussidiaria della LucasArts, Lucas Learning. Utilizza lo stesso motore grafico del precedente titolo della LucasArts Star Wars: Jedi Knight. I creatori miravano a creare un gioco che fosse allo stesso tempo accattivante e non violento. La data di uscita originale del gioco è stata anticipata di mesi, il che ha portato il team di sviluppo a tagliare alcune funzionalità già pianificate.

La trama del gioco prevede che il giocatore salvi la galassia fabbricando droidi con abilità specifiche, come la capacità di vedere al buoio o saltare, per completare le missioni. Le parti educative di queste missioni insegnano ai giocatori concetti come energia, forza, movimento, macchine semplici, luce e magnetismo.

Star Wars: DroidWorks ha ricevuto grandi elogi dalla critica, ha venduto bene e ha vinto numerosi premi e riconoscimenti.

Pallone Concerned About Lack of Karabakh Assistance
Rep. Frank Pallone
WASHINGTON—Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) Monday wrote House Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers and Kay Granger, Chairwoman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs to express his concerns of reports that the Subcommittee has broken precedent by failing to provide funding for humanitarian and development assistance in Nagorno Karabakh. In past years, funding for Nagorno Karabakh had broad bi-partisan support. Pallone expressed concerns about the repercussions this lack of funding would have in the region.
"Since 1998 USAID and other agencies have been providing funds for humanitarian and other assistance programs in Nagorno Karabakh as a result of the Appropriations Committee's work. The decision to provide no funds to Nagorno Karabakh in Fiscal Year 2012 is a break with the practice of the Appropriations Committee, under both Democratic and Republican control," Pallone wrote in the letter.
The full text of the letter appears below.
Dear Chairman Rogers and Chairwoman Granger:
I am writing with concern over recent reports that the State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs Subcommittee has reported out a bill that does not include funds for the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. I am asking that as this bill moves to the full Appropriations Committee that language be included to provide for humanitarian and development assistance in Nagorno Karabakh.
Since 1998 USAID and other agencies have been providing funds for humanitarian and other assistance programs in Nagorno Karabakh as a result of the Appropriations Committee's work. The decision to provide no funds to Nagorno Karabakh in Fiscal Year 2012 is a break with the practice of the Appropriations Committee, under both Democratic and Republican control.
On May 20, 2011 twenty-eight members of Congress, along with myself, on a bi-partisan basis wrote to Chairwoman Granger and Ranking Member Lowey requesting that $10 million be included for humanitarian and development programs in Nagorno Karabakh. We pointed out that while there has been strong Congressional support for providing funds to Nagnorno Karabakh, the State Department has failed to come close to expending the funds intended to reach the people of Nagorno Karabakh. This has left major gaps in our ability to provide humanitarian assistance and has put at risk the protection of the Nagorno Karabakh people who live under constant threat of attack from Azerbaijan.
There is no question that Nagorno Karabakh is an example of how democracy can be born from conflict and progress into a popularly supported government. The United States' role in helping to facilitate this process cannot be overstated. I believe that it is more important than ever that the United States maintain a principled stand for peace in this region and support Nagorno Karabakh.
FRANK PALLONE, JR.
Member of Congress
David Boyajian - August 1, 2011 said:
We also need a sincere effort now by our friends in Congress to recognize the independence of Artsakh and to set the record straight on what Azerbaijan did to start the conflict over the past many decades.
The blame for the conflict must be placed squarely and publicly where it belongs: on Azerbaijan.
This could be done by a Congressional resolution, but it has to start somewhere.
Clearly, Armenian government leaders are not up to the task, perhaps because Russia is ordering them to lay off Azerbaijan so that Russia can strike energy deals at Armenians' expense. Where, by the way, is the Russian condemnation of Azeri sabre-rattling?
It won't be easy, but the effort must be made. Azerbaijan has gained the upper-hand in terms of public-relations, portraying itself quite well as the victim. Azerbaijan is winning the war of public and diplomatic opinion. Armenians are being portrayed as illegal occupiers, and that image has taken hold. This has to change.
bigmoustache - August 3, 2011 said:
agreed, karapagh recognition should be our top priority…the fact that the truth has been silenced for this long is a travesty…on top of the armenian genocide recognition!
they have to give us SOMETHING and right now it should be karapagh recognition

Games innovation is an all-new innovation, which helps with building better and greater games. It is so significant in the advancement of the games that we are playing on various stages these days. It fills in as confirmation that the innovation that we have now is continually changing and is changing various parts of our lives, regarding amusement.
In this post, we will examine further what games innovation is, just as its distinction in game turn of events and game plan. On the off chance that you need to find out about these and that's only the tip of the iceberg, don't hesitate to give this article a read!
Game Innovation: What Truly Right?
Game/s innovation really alludes to the improvement of different supporting advances for various games. This is especially free of certain game plan. Further, it centers around the plan of an elite interaction of center game-related usefulness.
You may consider it a low-level innovation, which has a place in a specific game motor. The points that you may mark as game innovation may incorporate the accompanying:
Memory dealing with
Record taking care of
Sound preparing
Crash checking and material science
Info surveying from gadgets
Delivering calculations, and then some.
You ought to be a specialist in games innovation on the off chance that you are an engineer of a motor part or custom game motor, remembering low-level systems for supporting game advancement choices.
Game Development& Game Plan
Game advancement really alludes to the utilization of games innovation in building specific game plans. It's a middle in the middle of game plan and game innovation. Besides, its will probably assemble a utilitarian game mechanics, utilizing low-level game innovations.
Being a specialist in game improvement is essential, particularly when you need to make a game. Remember that the calculations made during the game advancement are connected to a specific game, while game mechanical calculations are skeptic of a specific game.
Then again, game plan is the conceptualization of a specific game thought, which is free of specific advances. This stresses adapting up to novel ongoing interaction mechanics, which could be amusing to play for certain clients.
This incorporates the plan of a specific story for a specific game, along with the journeys, which may be arranged in the story, and some other imaginative parts of a game.
The writing is on the wall, we trust it is obvious to you what games innovation is, just as how it is essential these days. Further, we likewise trust that the contrast between game innovation, game turn of events, and game plan is clear.
These three are vital in the advancement of the games that engage us today. Without them, there wouldn't be any games that will be created for the future. Genuinely, it is significant that they continue improving for the years to come!

In the summer of 2009 during President Obama's first year, NBC filmed a behind-the-scenes special called "Inside The White House". Despite its title, these spots usually breed seriously fake smiles and new focus-group-approved 'habits'. Not the case though when the President and the crew stepped out to have lunch at a Washington area Five Guys. A well-known burger fan, Obama publicly put the presidential seal of approval on their juicy burgers and salty fries. The presidency and the chain both got an approval boost for their grounded, Americana bona fidas. Authentic or not, authenticity won out.
Five Guys doesn't tout, it just presents itself as the best of its kind. And that's pretty authentic and worthy of a cult-like following.
Word-of-mouth is the name of the game. Just as the brand didn't hype Obama's visit, they let their loyal following do the work. Five Guys learned early that they couldn't compete with other chains' ad budget, so they decided on a customer sourcing strategy. With basically no budget for national advertising, Five Guys relies on social media hashtag research and quick response for negative feedback to build their brand. The buzz surrounding their burgers is really coming from their patrons. When you know this about Five Guys, they're positioned as the market underdog and it produces a mass following. Brilliant.
To incentives employees to uphold their friendly service mantra, Five Guys invested in third-party mystery shoppers. These shoppers evaluate service and offer major bonuses to employees. This nurturing produces loyalty.
According to PR Manager Molly Catalano, even the interior has been well-thought out. Shops are designed to be all about the food. No frills, no excess decorations, just an open kitchen, stacks of potatoes boxes of peanut oil and even peanuts themselves. Don't be bullied into doing something off-brand either. In their infancy, a Pentagon Admiral phoned Five Guys for a delivery. Their no-frills policy calls for no deliveries, not even for the powerful. To beat the point home, Five Guys printed a 22-foot-long banner that shouted "Absolutely No Delivery". Be proud of your focus on quality.
When sourcing ingredients, Five Guys look for freshness, lack of preservatives, and Five Guy standards which demand no freezers just coolers. The vast majority of their fries are cooked from the best northern soils of Idaho, and they are quick to tell you in wall postings where the recent potato crop has come from. With a near-obsessive focus on quality, Five Guys unintentionally offers no certified organic or antibiotic-free items. According to Molly, organic doesn't mean quality in every case. Rather a fresh quality is what they're after. The franchise isn't claiming health benefits from their offerings, just fresh and enjoyable meals. In an age of meaningless buzz words, authenticity is surely appreciated by the public.
And, the public has rewarded the chain. From the latest Harris Poll EquiTrend survey's "Burger Brand of the Year", Five Guys beat out In-N-Out for the second time in a row.
Tasting table describes the experience.
The restaurant's signature brown paper bag — made soggy by seeping peanut oil — has become an image of good ol' American fast food, helping the chain defend its title for the second year in a row.
Often it's the real folks from the real world that win our hearts.


A firefighter douses hot spots at a wild land fire that ate up five acres of trees and brush Sunday afternoon off of Conference Drive in Scotts Valley. While no injuries were reported and no structures were damaged, the 2:30 p.m. blaze sent up a huge column of white smoke that wafted across Scotts Valley and Highway 17 into Santa Cruz. Firefighters on the ground were aided by two Cal Fire air tankers and a helicopter who took turns blanketing the blaze inside Hanson's Quarry with water and fire retardant. The cause of the five-acre fire is still under investigation, said Jake Hess, Deputy Chief with Cal Fire. One neighbor said she could hardly see her neighbor's house due to the smoke. "There was ash floating all around," she said. "I was ready to get the kitty carriers out when the smoke started dissipating."

ND v. Attorney General of Botswana and others
High Court of Botswana Protects Transgender Man's Right to Have Identity Document Reflect His Gender Identity
In this case, a transgender man (ND) sought to change his gender marker on his Omang (national identity document) and was denied by the Registrar of National Registration in Botswana. He was assigned female at birth, and his identity document stated his gender as female. The High Court found that the failure of the gender marker to match ND's gender identity, including his physical appearance, subjected ND to severe insecurity, harm, and discrimination. In addition, the Court held that the Registrar's refusal violated ND's rights to privacy, equal protection, freedom from degrading and inhuman treatment, freedom of expression, and protection from discrimination. Noting the lack of a legitimate governmental justification for any of the impingements on ND's constitutional rights, the High Court ordered the Registrar to issue a new identity document that reflects his male gender identity.
Date of the Ruling:
High Court of Botswana
Type of Forum:
ND is a transgender man, and his sex assigned at birth was female. Because the gender marker on ND's national identity card did not match his expressed gender or gender identity, the refusal of the government to change his gender marker exposed him to ongoing and extreme emotional stress and discomfort.
Under the National Registration Regulations, the purpose of the identity document is to provide a record of a person's physical appearance and reflect their particular characteristics. The Registrar has the discretion to change the identification markers when a change in those characteristics has a material effect on a person's identification. Identity card holders can replace their photograph, for example, if they feel it no longer reflects who they are. The Registrar has discretion to determine if a change is required, but public officials are bound by Botswanan law to be reasonable and to uphold fundamental rights when exercising discretion. Although the Registrar and Attorney General argued that the gender marker change could not be allowed in the absence of a statute that provides a clear medical and legal threshold, the Court found that the discretion standard does not require any medical or legal threshold. In this case, the Court found the Registrar's exercise of discretion was not reasonable.
However, the Court focused its reasoning on the violations of constitutional rights. The Court observed that the Botswanan constitution should be interpreted as a living document, informed by "contemporary norms and circumstances," including by reference to relevant international decisions. Constitutional rights in Botswana apply to all persons and are founded on human dignity.
The Court found that because ND was denied recognition of his gender identity through proper identification, and recognition is part of dignity, the Registrar failed to protect his human dignity. The Registrar's refusal also violated ND's freedom of expression, his right to equal protection (because non-recognition of his identity made him particularly vulnerable to harassment, violence, and sexual assault), and his right to be free from inhumane and degrading treatment and discrimination. Although gender identity is not included in the prohibited forms of discrimination listed in the constitution, the list is not exhaustive.
The Court also found a violation of ND's right to privacy, and in fact, acknowledged with concern the ongoing distress and discomfort experienced by ND when he is required to explain intimate details of his life to strangers whenever he seeks to access routine services, simply because his identity document does not match his expressed gender or gender identity. The High Court observed that "arbitrary interference or embarrassment," and the violation of his privacy rights, could be avoided or mitigated by the state changing the gender marker on the identity document.
The Court recalled that the burden is on the state to prove that an interference with a person's constitutional rights is legitimate and justifiable. The government must identify a social ill that it is addressing, show how that it justifies the interference, and show that the interference is proportional to that goal. Considering that gender identity "constitutes the core of one's sense of being and is an integral part of a person's identity," the Court found the government showed no legitimate justification for its discriminatory treatment of transgender persons. Indeed, the government's argument that changing the gender marker would somehow affect national security was unsupported by evidence, and a mismatch between gender marker and gender identity actually makes law enforcement less effective.
The Court also addressed the government's argument that sex and gender are distinct, and that national identification referred to sex determined at birth. Through a survey of other jurisdictions, the Court detailed how sex has been held by many courts to be a combination of factors, including biological, social, and psychological characteristics, as well as a person's innate feeling of what different sexes mean. The Court thus found the government's interpretation of sex was unfoundedly restrictive.
Enforcement of the Decision and Outcomes:
The High Court ordered the Registrar to issue a new identity document that accurately reflects ND's gender identity, changing the gender marker from female to male. In January 2018, ND received his identity document correctly reflecting his gender identity.
Significance of the Case:
This decision is one in a series of four major rulings from Botswanan courts that significantly advance the protection of the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. In March 2016, a court ordered the government to legally register the nongovernmental organization (NGO) Lesbians, Gays & Bisexuals of Botswana (LEGABIBO), the first registered entity for the protection of the rights of the LGBT community in the country. In December 2017, a Botswanan court ordered that the government recognize the gender identity of a transgender woman. More recently, in a 2019 decision, the High Court struck down the colonial-era criminalization of consensual same-sex sexual relations as unconstitutional. These are important victories, with advocates noting that these cases have made visible, and affirmed the rights of, the LGBT community in public discourse, with the hope that they will serve as precedents to advance the protection of LGBTQ+ rights in Botswana, regionally, and beyond.

Duncan Mighty has assured doubting minds that he made his money from nothing but hard work and the grace of God.
He said, "I have read in several places where people link my wealth to illegal activities like oil bunkering but I don't feel bad about it. Such things are normal. Making money in life for me is not the ultimate thing. People would always judge how you make money especially when they know where you are coming from.
They know that my family did not have money while I was growing up so they would question my wealth. When God blesses you, he does not look at where you are coming from. It is just a normal thing for people to talk about the way you made your money without talking about how you suffered," he said.
Mighty said that unknown to many people, he has invested heavily in construction and that is where he makes most of his money and not through music. "It is good to make money. I am a very hard working man and aside music, I own and run a construction company. In each of my sites, I have at least 43 staff members who work as engineers. So, apart from music, I do civil engineering works.
He seized the opportunity to advise his colleagues to leverage on their fame while they are still in demand because tomorrow might be too late. Mighty said, "I am using this medium to talk to other artistes, music should not be the only way you make money. No man can reign forever, it is only Jesus that can reign forever. The young must grow and the new must come; you might be the 'new' kid on the block today but years down the line, you would become 'old school'.
You do not have a choice over things like this. You should be able to build your life to an extent without entirely depending on music. Without music, you can still build a skyscraper. It is too bad when an artiste does not have a new song and because of that gets broke.
I see no reason why a musician would not invest his money in other sectors. When you invest early, people would always tell you that you have money. I did not squander my money; I have a good home, I have impacted on so many lives, my vehicles and companies are running fine, so why would people not say that I have too much money? I have too much money because I work too much. As an artiste, you should learn to diversify. If it means you should sell pure water, please do so, forget about pride. When you make money from a show, put it in your business.

The gravest error that Tsar Nicholas ever made was his firing of his uncle Grand Duke Nicholas as Supreme Commander of the Russian Army and replacing him by himself as he was totally incompetent. It is true that the Grand Duke was not a strategic genius who had allowed the creme of the Russian Army to be entrapped at the Battle of Tannenberg and largely liquidated as a force, but he was respected by the rank of file as an heroic warrior who would lead his troops into battle.
The brilliant German General Maximilian Hoffman observed in his Memoirs ("The War of Lost Opportunities") that the breakdown in discipline of the Tsar's Army stemmed from the Tsar's decision. The Grand Duke had largely held the defeated army together. It was Hoffman that planned the historic battles of Tannenberg and Masurian Lakes that delivered victory to the German Army in the east. It was the gravest error that Hindenburg and Ludendorff committed when they left Hoffman behind to negotiate with Trotsky and assumed they knew what was needed in the west when they left for command of the western front. Ludendorff was an organizational genius but very weak on strategy. Hoffman in his Memoirs relates that Hindenburg and Ludendorff were idiots to have frontally assaulted the French and English Armies but should have renewed the Schlieffen Plan going around those armies along the coast as that sector had opened up again. As to Hoffman's estimation of Hindenburg, see the next quote:
A few years after the war, when touring the field at Tannenberg, Hoffmann told a group of army cadets: "See—this is where Hindenburg slept before the battle, this is where Hindenburg slept after the battle, and between you and me this is where Hindenburg slept during the battle". He was "rated by some historians 'as perhaps the most brilliant staff officer of his generation' and used as a model at the United States Army Command and General Staff College.
The Tsar did not know what he was doing and created such an upheaval in the army that just about its entire leadership including men like General Aleksei Brusilov demanded his abdication. And in fact General Brusilov shifted his allegiance to the Bolsheviks totally betraying the Russian Motherland. The officers were almost entirely disloyal to the Tsar.
We have to understand from this history Stalin's concern about the loyalty of Marshall Mikhail Tukhachevsky and many of the officers who were groomed by Trotsky. According to NKVD Colonel Alexander Orloff, Tukhachevsky was out to destroy Stalin on behalf of Trotsky, and had found in the Tsarist archives proof that Stalin had been an Okhrana agent spying on the Bolsheviks, and this is true which we have from other sources, and was about to arrest him. Stalin ordered his immediate execution as well as a number of his key aides, and then had the trial dates backdated to show the trial took place before the executions. Then followed a purge of the Russian military which has been wildly exaggerated in the west which included the later Marshall Konstantin Rokossovsky. In other words, later Stalin brought back a number of these officers. There was no doubt that it was important for Stalin to remove the influence of Trotsky from the military.
It is interesting that Trotsky and Lenin who were set up by Baron Eduard de Rothschild through Parvus to effectuate the Russian Revolution were both liquidated by Stalin. The major issue between Trotsky and Stalin was over whether Russian resources should be used for world revolution as Trotsky desired or for building up Russia as a mighty military power. In other words, Trotsky represented internationalization or world financial government of Baron Eduard de Rothschild as the present Trotskyite oligarchs in Russia who are agents of Lord Jacob Rothschild. Lord Jacob has a secret interest in the Russian oligarchs who are his agents as he provided the money that bought the looted shares of the Russian people for a song as Russia was raped again as under the Bolsheviks who were Baron Eduard de Rothschild's agents. These assets must be returned to Russia with no compensation as it was essentially stolen.
"The Sunday Times can identify Lord Jacob Rothschild as the secret holder of the large stake in Yukos that was previously controlled by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the oil company's chairman. Khodorkovsky, reputed to be Russia's richest man, was last week arrested by Russian prosecutors on charges of fraud and tax evasion. His imprisonment has triggered a trustee agreement he put in place with Rothschild a few months ago. Rothschild, 67, now controls the voting rights on a stake in Yukos worth almost 8 billion pounds. This places him at the center of the dispute with the Russian State." (November 2, 2003, London Times)
The Russian conflict between Stalin and Trotsky has relevance today as we see above. What is particularly relevant is the reason for the rather late liquidation of Trotsky. He was useful to Stalin as he denounced Stalin as being incompetent from what he thought were his safe havens in countries as Mexico and that Russia was so weak it was about to collapse. We hear similar rants in the western press today about how weak Russia is. This was just what Stalin wanted as he did not want to alarm the west about his gigantic military buildup. But when Trotsky switched and began to rant against Stalin's giant military buildup, Stalin became worried ordering NKVD General Pavel Sudoplatov to arrange for his assassination in Mexico. Hitler had believed Trotsky and thought this was exposed in the invasion of Finland which had held out against Russia though being tiny because its defences were hardened and elaborate. We cannot have a better account on Stalin's massive strength than to listen to Hitler discussing it after the German invasion.
Hitler and Mannerheim secret recording. geheimes Gespräch von Hitler und Mannerheim.
Russia since 2000 has secretly built up the greatest military machine in world history with massive defensive missile systems such as the S-600 defensive missile and the most advanced hypersonic missiles. These were developed during the 1990 to 2000 period though they could not be tested then, and especially since 2000 to 2008 as to offensive and defensive missiles, and between 2008 and today the entire Russian Army was modernized. We estimate the real Russian defence budget of 400 billion dollars a year which runs at about 1/7 the cost of the US so the US would have to spend 2.8 trillion dollars per year just to stay even much less catch up.
This buildup was caused by our bombing defenceless Belgrade for 78 days based on a fake BND massacred stated in Kosovo. When the Manchester Guardian reporter walked the site, he found that the shot bodies had not bled and there were no cartridges on the ground. NATO engineered the destruction of Yugoslavia to eliminate a potential historical ally of Russia as in World War Two. NATO is Germany.
The author of the Woke purge of the army would really if logically rolled out cause the dismissal of all white soldiers in the army. Are they really going to find one white soldier that hates himself for being white? The desire of the third world immigrationists is to make the white population into a minority to be persecuted with reverse discrimination as is happening already today. The US Army has essentially been destroyed as a fighting force by its homosexualization under Senators Levin and Lieberman and now the army has to contend with a flood of transgender applicants. Whatever the army is it certainly is not a meaningful fighting force anymore despite the comments of the 30 IQ Secretary of Defence.
Yakov Kedmi: US Army a Paper Tiger Composed of Low Caste Mercenaries, Not a Serious Force!
What is really happening is that there is a fear in the Biden Administration that they could have a coup on their hands, and that they are starting purges of anyone that might be a danger. As most white soldiers will tell them whatever they want to hear, the purge will not be effective except in turning all the white soldiers against Biden so that as King Solomon says that the fear of the wicked shall come upon them (Proverbs 10:24).
My European correspondent who brought this to my attention comments as follows:
The Jacobins tried to do this too with the French military by court marshalling the rogue soldiers and brass (after the letters they wrote), but an ideological purge like what is going on in the US army today will never work in France: because French soldiers are still from the same barracks as that Napoleon decreed (St Cyr, Les Invalides, etc.) 200 years ago, and they are not going to change their outlook on life and certainly not their philosophy.
En plus (and what is more) there will always still be The Foreign Legion. Which cannot be purged because it is entirely independent from France even though it operates on French soil and under French flag. It is an entirely independent fighting force. The government can request its services but they can refuse as it is operationally an entirely independent unit (the original Cossacks come to mind as a comparison).
Perhaps America could use a foreign legion today to guarantee the independence of the military in general, because Eric Prince and his mercenaries are simply not the same thing. Mercenaries have no strong values, nor deontology, nor any honor. They do not fight for flag and country. Let alone for values.
So ideological purges in the French military?
Non, jamais monsieur.
Or, as they would probably say in the Légion Etrangère:
Marche ou Crève
(their motto which means: To March or To Perish)

The word Vera is the Latin binomial for Lavender in the botanical language of plants. This linguistic terminology, made popular by Carl Linnaeus pictured at left, is a two part naming process called binary nomenclature. The system was designed to help identify all types of species in a more specific manner including Homo sapiens. For lavender the genus is Lavandula and the second, specific name or epithet is vera. In Latin the word vera means "true" referring to true Lavender.
The new and third edition of the liquid botanical perfume Vera is now ready to ship in the French flacon and smaller vials. The flacon version is sporting a new haute couture pouch. I'm still working on reformatting Vera as a solid perfume, although the little pouches are ready.
In a recent journal post, inspired by a question from the illustrious shoe artisan Wendy Holden I shared the details regarding Vera, which I have since amended with some additional information included below.
Wood, Resin, Bees Honeycomb, California Lavender and Sage, French Lavender, Bay, Citrus, a faux Ambergris accord I created and two of my own tinctures of Lavender and native California Sage.
Lavender, Orange blossom, Hay and Honey.
I much prefer to acknowledge the YES instead of the NO's, however, to put your mind at ease, here are the NO's.
No animal ingredients, nor do I test on animals.
Vera is a botanical perfume extract is available in a French glass flacon containing 7 grams by weight of the liquid perfume, a glass vial containing 1 gram by weight and in sample packs.

YouTube's Recommendation Algorithm Suggests Increasingly Longer Videos, Study Finds
By James Loke Hale
A new study from Pew Research Center took an in-depth look at YouTube's polarizing recommendation algorithm and found that the more they watch, the more users are nudged toward progressively longer and increasingly popular videos.
Only 5% of videos recommended to researchers had less than 50,000 views at the time they were recommended, while 64% of recommendations had more than 1 million views. The most commonly recommended videos were music videos, videos of TV competition shows like American Idol, kids' content, and life hack videos.
Here's how the study worked: Researchers conducted 174,117 "random walks" through YouTube's content. Each walk began with a randomized video from one of 14,000 English-language channels, each with more than 250,000 subscribers. Researchers would watch one of the channel's videos, and then move on to one of the five videos recommended in the video's sidebar by YouTube. They repeated this until they'd been through a total of five videos — the starter video, plus four more, all based on recommendations.
Overall, researchers were recommended 346,086 different videos. They found that 28% of the videos they encountered were recommended multiple times, and that the 50 videos most commonly recommended were "already very popular at the time they were first recommended in this analysis."
Their conclusion that YouTube recommends progressively longer videos stems from the fact that, on average, researchers' starter videos were nine minutes and 31 seconds long. Videos at the end of the five-video "walk" averaged 14 minutes and 50 seconds in length. In terms of popularity, starter videos averaged 8 million views, and ending videos averaged more than 40 million.
Creators have long expressed distrust of YouTube's infamously nontransparent algorithm. YouTube's chief business officer Robert Kyncl addressed some of these concerns in a recent interview, during which he refuted concerns that if creators take breaks from constantly uploading, the algorithm won't bump their videos out to potential new viewers and subscribers. "That's not true," Kyncl said. "You do have great power. If you know how to find your audience, which you found once, then you will find it again, even if you take a break."

Because of Russia's lack of wireline infrastructure and its booming demand for Internet, it is often referenced by industry analysts as one of the most promising markets for wireless broadband. Indeed, WiMAX enjoyed early successes in Russia as companies like Enforta, Quantum and Tascom began to deploy fixed 802.16d solutions to the enterprise market sector. More recently, new WBA entrants such as Comstar and Yota have likewise extended the success of WiMAX to the consumer sector. However, in the last year WiMAX's progress in Russia has been mixed as result of economic, regulatory and political issues.
The global economic crisis has had a profound impact on the deployment of wireless broadband, and perhaps no country was more impacted than Russia. Russia suffered heavily in the crisis with a decline in GDP of 7.9% from 2008 to 2009. Unemployment in some regions of the country exceeded 25% as the demand for Russia's mineral wealth crashed in the wake of global recession. Perhaps more devastating to WiMAX, during the same period the Russian Ruble declined in value from 22 Rubles per dollar to 33 Rubles per dollar. This 50% collapse in currency value made the purchase of foreign manufactured telecom equipment extraordinarily expensive. Early in the year some of the larger operators like MTS and Beeline announced 60%+ reductions in their capital programs. Comstar entirely suspended their WiMAX program outside of Moscow early in 2009.
Smaller greenfield WiMAX operators who were relying on stable equity markets and new equity infusions to fund their capital programs faced and even more difficult challenge. Those start-ups that were EBITDA positive still had access to the equity markets and were fortunate enough to raise sufficient funding to survive. Those WiMAX start-ups that were not EBITDA positive either closed or went on sale. It is rumored today that three of the top five largest fixed WIMAX operators in Russia are indeed still for sale.
Russia's regulatory regime suffers from lack of transparency, conflict of interest and sluggishness. Though the regulator has formally stated that both 2.3 and 2.5GHz will be tendered transparently, there are continued battles between the regulator, the Ministry of Defense, and other state agencies that have hampered tenders. In the midst of such battles Yota was one of the early winners who somehow managed to acquire companies whose sole asset was their 2.5GHz spectrum permits. Just this month the regulator announced that they plan to revoke much of Yota's spectrum since it was issued under dubious circumstances. Yota has already sited that it will defend its spectrum position in court.
Another black mark on the regulator's reputation occurred early in 2010 when the Minister of Communications (Igor Shchegolev) was nominated as chairman of state telecom holding company Svyazinvest just before awarding an affiliate of that company (Rostelecom) with 2.3GHz spectrum in an official Ministry managed state contest.
Tactically, the regulator has been slow to address other day-to-day problems faced by wireless broadband operators, e.g. the 3.5GHz band has proven practically unusable in Russia because of limited allocation (only 50 MHz in total), co-location in the band with legacy applications, as well as partitioning of the band into 3MHz FDD channels. Several operators have been trying to convert their 3.5GHz spectrum for TDD to make more efficient use of the spectrum and expand the effective channelization, but in the interim there are no serious WiMAX deployments in 3.5GHz. Freshtel, Enforta, and others are all working to resolve this.
Yota, Rostelecom, and Russia's 3G operators have all announced their interest and intent to deploy LTE networks in the near future. However, unlike other countries where spectrum use is application and technology agnostic, this is not the case in Russia. The conversion of spectrum for other technologies or applications requires regulatory approval. While it is fully expected that the regulator will ultimately allow some operators to convert their 3G or WiMAX spectrum to LTE technology, many experts believe that this will be a prolonged negotiation which may require some operators to give up some of their licensed assets and additionally require that operators work only with Russian equipment vendors (as was a condition of the earlier 2.3GHz tender won by Svyazinvest). This may be the nature of the game seemingly being played now between the regulator and Yota.
The Russian state has clearly announced its intention to sell its controlling share in Svyazinvest (the state telecom holding company) by IPO during 2011. As part of the 'window dressing' for the IPO, the regulator is looking to puff Svyazinvest's portfolio of licenses as witnessed by the 2.3GHz award in early 2010. It is also widely expected that Svyazinvest will make several strategic acquisitions to better posture the company for IPO. However this 'window dressing' will largely consume Svyazinvest's financial resources. Outside of conducting some LTE pilot trials it is unlikely that pre-IPO Svyazinvest or its affiliates will have the financial resources to develop the 2.3GHz spectrum. Hence the reports this month that perhaps Svyazinvest could partner with a Kremlin-friendly oligarch Gregory Berezkina to develop the LTE network – an action which itself would violate the conditions of the original 2.3GHz tender contest.
As the biggest industry stakeholders, Russia's 'Big 3' cellular operators (MTS, Beeline, and MegaFon) have openly complained in the press and directly to the President about the political and regulatory morass, indicating their own desire to obtain 2.3 and 2.5Ghz spectrum and to convert their 3G spectrum for deployment of 4G networks based on LTE. While their grievances are understandable, it is unlikely the 'Big 3' will have much success. Firstly, all three received their 3G spectrum (in 1.9-2.1GHz) as result of a beauty contest held in 2007, with a condition of the award being a build obligation as opposed to heavy monetary payments. Because of the expected regulatory issues in clearing the designated 3G spectrum, the 3G build-out is now very late. This opens the question about the legitimacy of their rights to exclusively use the 3G spectrum awarded to them.
Secondly, providing the Big 3 with additional spectrum would appear anti-competitive, prohibiting new entrants that might be more focused on deploying wireless broadband. Lastly, but never publically expressed, before the Svyazinvest IPO the state would likely prefer that there not be a dominant wireless broadband operator. In the current economic crises, the Big 3 are likely the only candidates who really have the financial resources to be a threat to Svyazinvest's LTE ambitions.
In conclusion, while wireless broadband unquestionably holds great promise in Russia, the underlying political and regulatory environment will delay additional issuance of 2.3 and 2.5 GHz spectrum until mid/late 2011. Further, the current economic climate will not allow greenfield start-up operators to generate sufficient funding to mount any significant mobile deployments. Several early WiMAX start-ups are expected to continue to do well with their fixed and nomadic WiMAX deployments, and rationalization of operators within this segment is only natural as the industry becomes more competitive.

January 8 – January 10.
Entrance to the the northern waterway through the swamp. Our information said that you only wanted to traverse this trail at high tide. The swamp was a little shallow at the entrance, but Fever doesn't need much water to float. The current was very strong, though, and I thought we may have to turn back, but Fever and Greg muscled through it and it got easier as we got further in. The row back, on the other hand, was a breeze.
There are only a few bare inches under the keel of our boat. We float in a depthless hole of water. Although the wind has picked up, Blue Wing doesn't swing on her chain or even bob and weave much. It is a little eerie, but amazingly pleasant. Only one other boat joins us here. It is not marked as an anchorage on our chart, but this spot is the most agreeable we have moored in since arriving in the Exumas.
The anchorage was off the coast of Shroud Cay, the first island we visited in the Exumas Land and Sea Park, a preserve of 176 square miles of water, rocks, and islands, rich with history, sea life, and natural beauty. Shroud Cay is a group of cays and rocks surrounding an extensive mangrove swamp, interlaced with water trails.
We wanted to be close to the most northern trail to shorten the row to the mouth of the waterway. The small hole of water on the chart looked inviting even though it wasn't much deeper than our draft and was surrounded by much shallower water. All was well until the second night as the low tide sank even lower than usual on a new moon. We woke from our dreams to creepy feeling of Blue Wing scraping bottom. That morning, on a high tide, we motored out of our little oasis to a marked anchorage near the southern end of the cay. Not nearly as comfortable a spot, we rested assured that we wouldn't awake in the wee hours to find ourselves balancing precariously on the Exuma seabed.
Exploring the trails at Shroud Cay was fun and our dinghy, Fever, was up to the task, rowing through the low waters with only the sound of his oars propelling us along.
A bend in the trail. We stopped and climbed this hill to view our progress. The northern trail goes all the way to the sound and we were concerned about how long it would take to get there and how far into the sound we would have to row to get to the beach.
Approaching the sound side of Shroud Cay. We stopped at the small beach on the left side of the photo. Luckily we didn't have row into the strong waters beyond the swamp.
I am assuming this is Camp Driftwood. Our 16 year old cruisers' guide described Camp Driftwood as very special place up on a ridge over looking the sound, that 'defied description'. Since the guide is 16 years old we understand that it may not always reflect the current status of things. I was encouraged, though, by a pamphlet that we picked up last year at the Exuma Land and Sea Park Headquarters. In a map of the park, Camp Driftwood was noted. We followed the instructions in our guide book, but this was all we could find and may be all that is left of the "Robinson Crusoe" oasis built by the hermit some time ago.
Our cruising guide explained that you must first go to the beach and collect proper tolls before entering Camp Driftwood, so I did. When we got to the spot we found no tolls or treasures. I left mine anyways. Hopefully the tradition will start again.

Resolutie 108 van de Veiligheidsraad van de Verenigde Naties werd unaniem aangenomen op 8 september 1955, en riep Israël en Egypte op de in 1949 gesloten wapenstilstand na te leven en de onderhandelingen te hervatten.

Achtergrond

Eind februari 1955 had Israël de Gazastrook aangevallen en daarbij waren Egyptische soldaten omgekomen. De Veiligheidsraad veroordeelde de aanval in resolutie 106 en riep in resolutie 107 op tot een akkoord.

Inhoud
De Veiligheidsraad herinnerde aan resolutie 107 en had het rapport van de stafchef van de VN-Bestandtoezichtsorganisatie in Palestina ontvangen.

De Veiligheidsraad was erg bezorgd over het feit dat de gesprekken waren stopgezet. De uitbraak van geweld nabij de demarcatielijn tussen Egypte en Israël werd betreurd. De Veiligheidsraad was tevreden dat beide partijen de oproep van de stafchef voor een onvoorwaardelijk staakt-het-vuren aanvaardden. Beide partijen werden opgeroepen de rust te herstellen en het staakt-het-vuren te respecteren.

De Veiligheidsraad ging akkoord met de stafchef dat beide krijgsmachten duidelijk gescheiden moesten worden. De Veiligheidsraad vond dat VN-waarnemers bewegingsvrijheid in het gebied moesten krijgen. Beide partijen werden gevraagd een ontmoeting te hebben met de stafchef en volledig met hem samen te werken. De stafchef werd gevraagd om aan de Veiligheidsraad te rapporteren over de actie die werd ondernomen om deze resolutie ten uitvoer te brengen.
