Silent radio
Silent radio was a broadcast medium popular prior to the introduction of talk radio. Silent radio operates in the range below 20 decibels. The idea of combining wireless transmissions with live or recorded sound is nearly as old as the wireless itself, but, because of the technical challenges involved, most radio was silent before the late 1920s.
The first US silent radio licensee, KSHH in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, began broadcasting in August 1920. In December, sharp-eared radio enthusiasts first noticed the station's signal; by mid-1921, it became popular to build crystal radio tuners to hear the station's near-absence of static.
Memorable moments of silence
Calvin Coolidge was among the earliest American political figures to grasp the potential of the new medium. As president, he earned the nickname "Silent Cal" through his series of "Fireside Shuts" that he used to express his support of activist government initiatives – specifically the lack thereof.
Silent radio was a frequent venue for Hollywood stars, like Charlie Chaplin, who would frequently appear as his character of The Tramp. Universal Pictures heavily promoted the 1925 Lon Chaney feature Phantom of the Opera by airing key scenes on nationwide radio before the movie was released in theatres.
You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet
Despite the popularity of silent radio, technicians continued to work on the problem of introducing sound to radio broadcasts. In 1927, jazz singer Al Jolson ushered in the dominance of music radio over silent radio. Commercial silent radio stations continued to operate until the mid-1950s, when John Cage began demanding royalty payments for his composition, 4'33" – driving most stations out of business.
Growing increasingly desperate, on February 3, 1959, silent radio executives conspired to shoot down an airplane carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson in a bid to restore their industry. However, by 1965, the format had dwindled to the point that Simon and Garfunkel overdubbed their air guitar single, "The Sounds of Silence", with electric instruments for play on audible radio.
During the late 1960s, the remaining patent holders of the silent radio technology were approached by CIA operatives seeking to use the technology in their then-classified mind-control research program, MKULTRA. Pittsburgh native Bob Lansberry, a radio enthusiast and successful businessman, was selected as an unwitting experimental subject in the study. He later devoted his life to increasing public awareness of this dark period in the history of silent radio.
Silent radio remains popular in specialized settings, such as public libraries, and among the hearing-impaired. Silent radio is still considered more lively than National Public Radio.

"Mississippi adds another variant to the politics of the South. Northerners, provincials that they are, regard the South as one large Mississippi. Southerners, with their eye for distinction, place Mississippi in a class by itself… every other southern state finds some reason to fall back on the soul-satisfying exclamation, 'Thank God for Mississippi!'" —V. O. Key Jr., Southern Politics in State and Nation, 1949
Story Continued Below
Republicans across the country are saying "Thank God for Mississippi," but not in the derisive way that political scientist V.O. Key describes it above. The state's Republican voters, and probably quite a few Democrats, allowed the GOP establishment to fend off a Tea Party challenge to a sitting senator. In the process, they kept Democrats from potentially expanding the Senate's general election playing field in November and from giving anti-establishment forces in the Republican Senate caucus another ally.
Mississippi, a state often ignored by the national political world, managed to do something rarely seen in politics: produce two upsets in the same race in a three-week span. And it bucked a trend of generally pathetic turnout in primaries nationwide to produce the second and then first-largest primary turnouts in the history of Mississippi Republican politics.
Mississippi, a trailblazing leader in voter participation? It has been a very odd primary season indeed.
Sen. Thad Cochran, the Southern gentleman and six-term Republican senator, entered the initial primary as a very slight favorite on June 3. And that night, as results came in, he seemed set to barely get over the 50 percent mark until Jones County, state Sen. Chris McDaniel's home base, reported in with a whopping margin and turnout for the insurgent challenger, helping McDaniel finish slightly ahead of the incumbent in the initial round of balloting. Both men were just shy of the necessary majority, necessitating the runoff.
Things looked grim for Cochran: In the weeks leading up the initial primary, the Cochran camp had insisted that high turnout was the key to victory, and turnout was indeed high—higher than the 2012 presidential primary, and the biggest turnout the state had ever seen in a GOP primary. And yet Cochran still finished second.
Team Cochran continued to insist it could expand the electorate, but history suggested this was a longshot: In 37 of 40 Senate primary runoffs conducted since 1980, turnout had decreased from the initial primary to the runoff. In these 40 races, the combined turnout dropped by about a third from the primary to the runoff.
And yet, this time, turnout went up by 18 percent, jumping from about 319,000 in the initial primary to about 375,000 in the runoff (and that number will probably only increase as the results are finalized). Although both candidates gained votes in places, Cochran gained more and eked out a two-point win.
Let's be blunt: It is awfully hard to draw cosmic conclusions about the Mississippi Senate race when the six-term incumbent lost by a little in the first primary and won by a little in the second primary. Yes, politics—like some other sports we could name—is a game of inches, and Cochran gained a half a yard in three weeks. It's enough to almost certainly make him a seven-term senator, though he must be shocked that he only squeaked back into his seat after serving 36 years in the Senate and providing more pork for Mississippi than exists in all the hog farms in Iowa combined.
With that vital caution in mind, here are eight takeaways from this down-and-dirty contest that V.O. Key would almost certainly recognize as a Magnolia State original.
(1) The Tea Party, or the unorganized mass of voters who identify with the movement's anti-establishment and outsider tenets, is alive and well. They don't win every race, or even a large majority of them, but they are now well established as a significant faction of the GOP in many states and congressional districts. Republican Party leaders can't wish them away; the leaders need to deal them in, to the extent possible.
(2) The establishment may get down but it is never out. Cochran's victory, as slim as it was, was an impressive feat for the national and state party leadership. Former Gov. Haley Barbour and his family, such as nephew Henry Barbour, never let up, and they dragged the candidate over the finish line. Cochran and his interest-group allies outraised McDaniel by three to one as of the most recent report, although outside spending by conservative groups helped McDaniel. The endorsements for Cochran were so numerous that a casual observer couldn't keep up. Brett Favre's last-minute TV ad was probably helpful, but the attacks on McDaniel made much more difference. The insurgent looked younger, fresher and more appealing before his dirty laundry got a thorough airing over the last three weeks. The process isn't pretty, but party leaders will do what they have to do to win—and arguably, they know the process, the geography and the levers of power better than any other faction.
(3) The national Republican Party is the big winner. Democrat Travis Childers probably wasn't going to beat even a controversial GOP nominee in Mississippi during a midterm election in a state where President Obama's approval rating is quite low. But the Democratic Party could have made McDaniel and his controversies—including offensive comments made by McDaniel that the Cochran campaign itself highlighted—the face of the Republican Party in plenty of competitive contests around the country. Nowhere was the jubilation greater, once Cochran had won, than in the D.C. halls of GOP power. Now they don't have to spend a dime this fall in Mississippi, and they don't have to waste a breath defending McDaniel elsewhere.
(4) Strategic voting is very much alive, even in this era of intense polarization. It's not easy to get Democrats to participate in a Republican primary, but a sizeable number apparently did so to save Cochran's bacon, just as Democrats came out in force to help vote Eric Cantor out of office in Virginia's 7th congressional district on June 10. Democrats added to Cantor's woes, but challenger Dave Brat would have won without any Democratic support; Cochran's victory margin of about 6,400 votes may well have been provided by African Americans, who were recruited by Cochran's campaign and who realized the incumbent senator was a better choice for their interests than McDaniel. Some political and religious leaders in the black community obviously made a decision to do something unusual for these times. It will be interesting to see if and how Cochran reacts or rewards them in what is almost certain to be his last Senate term.

Hi Everyone! I have missed you. Like most MIA bloggers, it is a new year and one of my new commitments is to blog more. So here is my first post back in action for 2013.
The Basics: Seed Beads, Jump Clips, hoops, Chain and Clasp
String the entire package of beads on one long strand. Divide in half and then divide in half again. Now you should have four equal length strands. You are welcome to do each one and measure them again each other, but this just moves much quicker.
Fold each strand in half and attach a jump clip to each side. This will bulk up the look of your necklace.
Attach to your jewelery loop and then tape down to the counter or table. Now just fishtail braid the four strands. If you don't know how to fish tail braid there are a million tuts for your hair on Pintrest, it is the same concept. Attach jump clips to the other jewelery hoop to hold the braid in place. Attach chain and clasp. Easy Breezy. I would urge you to experiment with color and bead size. This would also work with a basic braid concept. If I were more patience I would do one with like 32 strands, I bet that would be stunning. Let me know what you think.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks ended higher on Monday, with the Dow Jones industrial average hitting an intraday record, lifted by Citigroup's better-than-expected earnings and more deals in the healthcare space.
Monday's flurry of mergers and acquisitions activity in the healthcare sector gave investors some confirmation that the U.S. stock market is still attractive. Shire Plc, which develops and sells drugs to treat rare diseases, succumbed to an increased takeover offer of 31 billion pounds($53 billion) from AbbVie Inc on Monday.
U.S.-listed shares of Shire rose 2.1 percent to $254.27 while AbbVie shares slipped 0.2 percent to $54.85.
Generic drugmaker Mylan Inc said it would buy Abbott Laboratories' specialty and branded generics business outside the United States in an all-stock transaction valued at about $5.3 billion. Mylan shares advanced 2.1 percent to $51.24 while Abbott shares rose 1.3 percent to $41.82.
Citigroup Inc shares jumped 3 percent to $48.42 and gave the S&P 500 one of its biggest boosts. The stock rallied after Citigroup reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share that exceeded the average analyst estimate and agreed to pay $7 billion to settle a U.S. government investigation into mortgage-backed securities. The S&P financial index gained 0.6 percent.
"Citigroup is the first major commercial bank to report, and with today's earnings, the trend seems to be pointing that financials will have a good earnings season," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital in New York.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 111.61 points or 0.66 percent, to end at 17,055.42. The S&P 500 gained 9.53 points or 0.48 percent, to 1,977.10. The Nasdaq Composite added 24.93 points or 0.56 percent, to 4,440.42.
The Dow hit a record intraday high of 17,088.43.
Goldman Sachs analyst David Kostin raised his 2014 target for the S&P 500 to 2,050 from 1,900, citing expectations that the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note at around 3 percent will keep pushing investors into stocks for higher returns.
Shares of electric car makers also surged on Monday after China-based electric vehicle maker Kandi Technologies Group Inc's sales from its joint venture in China more than tripled in the second quarter from the first quarter.
U.S.-listed shares of Kandi soared 26.6 percent to $18.64 while shares of U.S. electric car maker Tesla climbed 3.9 percent to $226.70.
Earnings season will pick up speed this week, with 59 S&P 500 components scheduled to report. S&P 500 profits are forecast to grow 6.2 percent in the second quarter from a year ago, according to Thomson Reuters data, down from the 8.4 percent growth forecast at the start of April. Revenue is seen up 3.1 percent.
In order to justify current stock prices, analysts are looking to earnings to confirm that the economy recovered in the second quarter from the harsh winter.
About 4.77 billion shares traded on U.S. exchanges, below the 5.35 billion average for the month to date, according to data from BATS Global Markets.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Freshman Belinda Schaafsma (Momence, Ill.) scored a career-high 11 points but it wasn't enough as the Bobcats (4-16, 2-9 PBC) fell 72-47 to the Hurricanes of Georgia Southwestern State University (14-6, 6-5 PBC) Saturday afternoon at the Centennial Center.
The Prairie State native knocked down five shots including the first three-pointer of her career en route to an 11-point showing. Schaafsma narrowly missed a double-double for the third-consecutive game, corralling a game-high nine boards while adding an assist, block and steal.
Going a perfect 8-for-8 (1.000) from the free-throw line was Shanteona Keys (Roswell, Ga.), who finished with a game-high 18 points. She was 5-of-9 from the floor with six rebounds and a pair of assists.
The Hurricanes used a balanced scoring attack to methodically pull away from the Bobcats, placing four players in double-figures. The trio of Jessica Bivins, Terra Branch and Tania Walters scored 15 apiece, with Walters grabbing a team-high eight rebounds.
GC cashed in at the charity-stripe where they shot 10-for-12 (.833) compared to 8-of-13 (.615) for Georgia Southwestern.
Unfortunately, the Hurricanes controlled nearly every facet of the game, out-rebounding the Bobcats 42-39 while also winning the turnover battle 21-16.
The 'Cats shot 17-of-58 (.293) from the field and 3-of-15 (.200) from three-point land as the Hurricanes shot 28-of-65 (.431) from the floor and 8-of-18 (.444) from beyond-the-arc.
The Bobcats will look to regroup against defending National Champion No. 5 Clayton State University Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 5:30 in the Centennial Center.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/BobcatSports and www.facebook.com/gcbobcats for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

The Chinese Art Explosion

(STICKY) (NEHANDA RADIO) Mbeki speech at Zimbabwe diamond conferenceCOMMENT - Former South African president Thabo Mbeki addresses and salutes land reform, cautions the Kimberley Diamond Certification Process, and insists on national sovereignty over natural resources. Or as the internatinol media spins it, "Diamond Conference Ends With Questions" or "Diamond Conference Ends With Questions Than Answers".
Mbeki speech at Zimbabwe diamond conference
on November 15, 2012 at 7:45 pm
The following is an address by former South African President Thabo Mbeki at the Zimbabwe Diamond Conference, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe: November 12, 2012: Mbeki called for stricter measures to combat corruption in the mining and trade of diamonds in Zimbabwe.
By Thabo Mbeki
Director of Ceremonies,
Our host, Minister Obert Mpofu,
Honourable Ministers from Zimbabwe and our region,
Leaders of the Kimberley Process,
Your Excellencies, Ambassadors, High Commissioners and members of the Diplomatic Corps,
Distinguished delegates,
Ladies and gentlemen:
One of the occasions I was here at Victoria Falls was in April 2000. I came here as part of a SADC delegation constituted of then Presidents Joaquim Chissano of Moçambique, Sam Nujoma of Namibia, and myself, as President of South Africa.
We came here to engage President Robert Mugabe specifically about what was happening in this country at the time, relating to the occupation of white-owned farms by this country's liberation war veterans, intended to address the historic Zimbabwe land question.
Specifically we discussed with the President how best to assist the sister people of Zimbabwe in the noble quest to correct an historical injustice. At the same time, our region fully accepted that land redistribution had to happen in Zimbabwe, as in other countries of our region.
After the meeting here, I had to report to the South African Parliament about the outcomes of that meeting. Here is part of what I reported to the South African National Assembly and therefore the people of South Africa as a whole:
"To address both the fundamental and central land question, which has to be solved, and the consequences that have derived from the failure to find this solution, we have been in contact with both the Zimbabwe and the British Governments. This contact sought to achieve a number of objectives. These are:
"1: to get a common commitment to solve the Zimbabwe land question, according to the framework and programme agreed at the 1998 Conference and thus, simultaneously, to speak to such questions as the rule of law;
"2: to end the violence that has attended the effort to find this solution;
"3: to create the conditions for the withdrawal from the farms they have occupied of the demonstrating war veterans; and,
"4: to pursue these issues in a manner that would be beneficial for all the people of Zimbabwe and the rest of Southern Africa. As we informed the media at Victoria Falls on Good Friday and other occasions since then, President Mugabe fully supported these objectives."
The truth is that we failed to achieve the global outcome we sought. This was because we did not get the funding commitments to the programme that were agreed at the 1998 International Conference on the Zimbabwe Land Question.
This meant that we failed to convince the world powers to honour the solemn commitments they had made, including their funding of the Zimbabwe land reform, and therefore the related creation of the conditions to end the occupation of the white-owned farms.
With regard to everything I have said, I must report that, at that time, the view of the political leadership in our region was that it was still nevertheless correct and vital that Zimbabwe had to address the land question.
This was particularly so given the fact that from 1990, a decade earlier, Zimbabwe had delayed dealing with the land question in a new way, especially after the expiry of the restrictive land provisions in the independence Lancaster House Constitution.
As an outstanding act of African solidarity, the Government of Zimbabwe decided on this delay expressly to facilitate the then on-going negotiations in South Africa, from 1990 onwards, concerned that nothing should be done in Zimbabwe which would so frighten the white South African population that it would oppose our own country's transformation.
With regard to the land question, the prevalent view in the rest of our region, outside Zimbabwe, which we, the SADC delegation that came to Vic Falls in 2000 represented, was that given the balance of power in Africa and the rest of the world, it was strategically and tactically ill-advised to resort to revolutionary methods to address the challenge of agrarian reform in this country.
We were convinced and argued this with President Mugabe, that, rather, Zimbabwe should indeed confront the matter of the land question, but address it through a process of reform rather than through revolutionary means.
We understood very well that the process of the reform rather than the revolutionary transformation of the inherited colonial system of land ownership, meant that the Zimbabwe Government and people would have to respect the principle of market based compensation of land owners for improvements on the farms they would have to forfeit.
[How is that working out in South Africa? Not very well, is it? - MrK]
SADC took the position it adopted in part because its leadership was convinced that the regional, continental and global progressive movement did not have the strength to overcome the determined Western opposition immediately to end the unjust colonial system of land ownership in Zimbabwe and our region.
In this context we had also come to understand very well that the West had absolutely no intention to provide the funds it promised solemnly, in 1979 in London and in 1998 in Harare, to compensate the white farmers for the land they would lose.
Whatever we might have honestly communicated to Africa and the rest of the world at the end of the April 2000 Vic Falls meeting between a SADC Presidential delegation and President Mugabe, the historical record is that the sister people of Zimbabwe succeeded to carry out a process of agrarian transformation which has fundamentally corrected an historic injustice relating to the land question in this country.
In this context I am happy to mention the united position taken by the democratically elected Zimbabwe political parties on the land question, in terms of which they said in the GPA that:
"(they accept) the inevitability and desirability of a comprehensive land reform programme in Zimbabwe that redresses the issues of historical imbalances and injustices in order to address the issues of equity, productivity, and justice." [GPA: Article 5.3.]
Directly relevant to all this, I would also like to highlight the 2010 seminal book, "Zimbabwe's Land Reform: Myths and Realities", written by a British academic, Ian Scoones, and his Zimbabwe colleagues, Nelson Marongwe, Blasio Mavedzenge, Felix Murimbarimba, Jacob Mahenehene and Chrispen Sukume.
In essence this well-researched treatise, based on a detailed scientific assessment of the Zimbabwe land transformation process over at least 10 years, makes two important statements.
One of these is that the Agrarian Revolution in this country has succeeded to transfer the land to the people.
The second is that the new system of land ownership, favouring the peasantry, has demonstrated its capacity successfully to address the issues of food security and the provision of the agriculture raw materials required by the manufacturing sector.
An academic review of the Scoones book said the book challenged "five myths (about Zimbabwe's Land Reform) through a detailed examination of field data:
"Myth 1 – land reform had been a total failure;
"Myth 2 – the beneficiaries have been largely political 'cronies';
"Myth 3 – there is no investment in the new settlements;
"Myth 4 – agriculture is in complete ruins, creating chronic food insecurity; and,
"Myth 5 – the rural economy has collapsed."
The same review says Professor Bill Kinsey of the Free University of Amsterdam recommended to the readers of the book: "Whatever you thought about the land issue in Zimbabwe, be prepared to change your mind."
[This also solidly refutes the version of events (elite capture) pushed in Mugabe And The White African. - MrK]
As the Zimbabwe Agrarian Revolution ran its course, our task as the political leadership of our region focused especially on our obligation to defend the right of the people of Zimbabwe to decide what they should do to resolve the land question, and therefore, and inevitably, to defend their fundamental right to self-determination.
Attached to this was the hope of our region that a successful Agrarian Revolution in Zimbabwe would also address the imperatives of the economic recovery of the country, poverty reduction and food security.
This arose because of both our concern for the welfare of the sister people of this country and our knowledge of the level of regional integration, as a result of which our countries could not isolate themselves from important developments in this country, vice versa.
In this regard, I must make the point that Ian Scoones and his colleagues, and other objective observers, such as the African Institute for Agrarian Studies, have made the correct and important observation that further to build on what has been achieved in this country in terms of successfully transferring 'land to those who work it', a serious effort must be made to support the new farmers with all-round assistance.
This would include upgrading the rural infrastructure, intensifying agricultural extension services, and providing the necessary credit to enable the new farmers to access the equipment, fertiliser, and other inputs, as well as the market access they need.
Of course, this must also include addressing the corrupt practice which occurred during the necessarily enormous upheaval of the Agrarian Revolution, which led the Government of Zimbabwe to take the important decision to conduct a land audit to ensure that those who had corruptly acquired land are not allowed to benefit from such corrupt practice.
In this regard, the September 2008 Global Political Agreement (GPA), elaborated and adopted by the Zimbabwe Political Parties, states that the Parties agreed:
"to conduct a comprehensive, transparent and non-partisan land audit…for the purpose of establishing accountability and eliminating multiple farm ownerships." [GPA: Article 5.9(a)].
I sincerely hope that this has been, or is being done.
Certainly the delegates present here from Zimbabwe and the rest of Southern Africa will recall vividly that essentially because of the Zimbabwe Agrarian Revolution, and as we feared when we met here with President Mugabe in April 2000, a veritable global and sustained political firestorm broke out, seeking to incinerate the Government of Zimbabwe as well as those of us who were seen as defenders of that Agrarian Revolution.
Accordingly, for many years now, various important political players in the world, as well as significant sections of the global media, have presented Zimbabwe as a 'rogue state' within our region, and in Africa as a whole.
This narrative was advanced to place on the global political agenda the fundamental proposition that because Zimbabwe was such a 'rogue state', it was perfectly legitimate to use all means, including through decisions of the UN Security Council, to overthrow the Government of Zimbabwe, thus to effect the necessary 'regime change' in this country.
It was perfectly clear to the political leadership in this Southern Region of Africa, and indeed the masses of the people in all our countries, that the determination by some from elsewhere in the world to effect this 'regime change' in Zimbabwe had to do with fundamentally undermining and weakening the historically and strategically important right of the peoples of Africa to self-determination.
In this regard, and contrary to the canards propagated by others from elsewhere in the world, certainly our Zimbabwe colleagues will recall that while it opposed such 'regime change', our region was deeply concerned about the then situation relating to democratic practice in this country, as stated in various SADC decisions.
For this reason, our region welcomed the commitment entered into by the Zimbabwe political parties in the GPA, according to which, for instance, they said:
"Recognising that the right to canvass and freely mobilise for political support is the cornerstone of any multi-party democratic system, the Parties have agreed that there should be free political activity throughout Zimbabwe within the ambit of the law in which all political parties are able to propagate their views and canvass for support, free of harassment and intimidation." [GPA: Article 10].
Taking into account the fact that Zimbabwe will have to hold its next General Election next year, I would like to believe that the Zimbabwe political parties will honour this agreement and that our region, represented by SADC, will help the sister people of Zimbabwe in this regard.
We have convened here to discuss matters that relate to diamonds.
I can therefore imagine that some among us here tonight would have wondered why I have spent so much time talking about other matters, including the politics of our region of even more than a decade ago, without so much as a casual mention of the word – diamonds!
I must therefore explain that I have spoken as I have because we are meeting at the Zimbabwe Diamond Conference and not any other Diamond Conference.
As I am certain we all know, in the very short years since Zimbabwe started mining and exporting diamonds, this has generated much international debate that I believe has been unjustifiably hostile to Zimbabwe, and which has sought to use the Kimberley Process incorrectly to classify the Zimbabwe diamonds as 'blood diamonds', which should therefore not be traded internationally.
In this regard I must confess that since towards the end of 2008, because of other obligations towards our Continent, I have not had the opportunity to pay much attention to various matters relating to Zimbabwe, including the Kimberley Process as it bears on this country.
Last year, on April 13, I was privileged to address the Presidents Meeting of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses held in Dubai.
I beg your indulgence to quote what I said then, eighteen (18) months ago, which I believe remains relevant to this day. I said then that:
"I am certain that a positive response to Africa's call focused on helping to create the African lions of which (the 2010 McKinsey Report) spoke, through adding value to its raw diamonds, would both benefit the diamond industry as a whole and reinforce the growth and development of the global economy.
"I am equally certain that everybody concerned should take seriously Africa's views about the resolution of the current standoff in the Kimberley Process, centred on the issue of Zimbabwe diamonds.
"One of the critical points to bear in mind in this regard is the fact that the core objective of the Kimberley Process, to end the practice of the use of illegally mined diamonds to fund and prolong deadly wars, was of primary concern to us as Africans, first and foremost.
"Africa's determination in this regard has not diminished. I am therefore certain that Africa, including the African Diamond Producers Association, would not support or advocate the production and sale of diamonds, especially African diamonds, contrary to the spirit and purposes of the Kimberley Process.
"In this regard I am certain that it will not help anybody, including you, the distinguished participants at this Presidents Meeting, that the Kimberley Process is politicised, to advance objectives other than those originally agreed at the Diamond Capital of South Africa, Kimberley, which gave its name to the Kimberley Process.
"In this regard I believe that all of us should take on board the weighty observation made by the Chairperson of the Kimberley Process, Minister Lapfa Lambang Mathieu Yamba, in his Notice of March 19, that, 'the cessation of exports in the KPCS must be subjected to a more credible mechanism which includes verification of allegations and due process.'
"I believe that it was exactly to ensure such verification of allegations as well as due process that a high-level delegation of the African Diamond Producers Association visited the Zimbabwe diamond fields earlier this month, led by the South African Minister of Mines and Mineral Resources, Hon Susan Shabangu…
"I sincerely hope that the current dispute affecting this Process will be resolved soon to avoid its breakdown, an eventuality which I am convinced nobody would desire."
Eight months later, after I made these remarks in Dubai, and earlier this year, I was pleased to see media reports of important statements made by the esteemed current Chairperson of the Kimberley Process, the KPCS, Ambassador Gillian Milovanovic, on February 3, 2012.
I refer here to what it was reported she said, that:
"The (Kimberley) process went through great difficulty determining how to deal with the question of diamond exports from Zimbabwe, given violence and other matters. And this showed that there was a need to look at systems, to look at definitions, to look at ways to ensure that the lessons were drawn, and that the organisation could determine best ways to become more efficient and to remain relevant. That would include the definition of conflict diamonds…
"But at the present time, I am told, the only country whose diamonds are fitting within the definition of conflict diamonds is diamonds from Côte d'Ivoire. And that represents, overall, far less than 1 percent of all diamonds."
As I understand it, perhaps wrongly, those of us who are members of the Kimberley Process are engaged exactly in the processes to which Chairperson Milovanovic referred when she spoke about "a need to look at systems, to look at definitions, to look at ways to ensure that the lessons were drawn, and that the organisation could determine best ways to become more efficient and to remain relevant."
In this regard, I am certain that all of us understand and respect the fundamental practice in jurisprudence that consistent with the principle of the rule of law, all law of general application, like the prescriptions of the Kimberley Process, should not be written to target particular persons or entities.
I say this because as Africans, we would surely agree that we should "look at the Kimberley Process systems…and definitions", as urged by Chairperson Milovanovic.
At the same time, in this regard, I am certain that as Africans we should do everything possible to ensure that the Kimberly Process is insulated from any political abuse, and is therefore used to establish an equitable global assessment system consistent with the agreed goals of the Kimberley Process.
I am certain that among others, we will work hard to ensure that the Kimberley Process is not misused to compromise the right of Africa as a whole, a major diamond producer, to the fundamental and inalienable right to self-determination, and the right to development.
In this context, I must also emphasise that as Africans we must remain especially vigilant that the export of African diamonds does not open or widen yet another window to the immensely pernicious illicit outflows of capital from Africa.
I trust that all of us at this important Zimbabwe Diamond Conference, will understand what I have just said, with regard to both Zimbabwe and Africa as a whole, about the absolute imperative we all share to end the illicit export of capital from our continent – the sustained illegal and 'legal' transfer of capital from the African poor to the rich West, which have been a critical and central contributor to the underdevelopment of our continent, and therefore the criminal impoverishment of the African masses.
I hope that you now understand why, earlier, I spoke to you about other matters not related to diamonds, such as this country's tumultuous Agrarian Revolution.
All of us know that all manner of negative allegations have been made about diamond mining in Zimbabwe, no different in essence from the global political offensive which sought to oppose and defeat this country's Agrarian Revolution.
Basing myself on my experience, I would like to exploit the privilege I have been given by Honourable Minister Dr Obert Moses Mpofu, the Zimbabwe Minister of Mines and Mining Development, to say a few additional things as I speak at this conference.
The first of these is that I am absolutely certain that the masses of our people throughout the entirety of our region of Southern Africa, the neighbours of Zimbabwe, are indeed very happy that the sister people of this country, have found yet another natural resource which can and should be used to ensure that our sister people achieve the sacred goal of a better life for themselves.
In this regard, we really hope that this natural resource, Zimbabwe's diamond deposits, will be used genuinely to benefit the masses of the ordinary people.
This must also mean that this country's political leadership, including all the parties which serve in the current Inclusive Government established because of the GPA, must absolutely ensure that the diamond mining industry is not governed by a predatory elite which uses its access to state power to enrich itself, against the interests of the people as a whole, acting in collusion with the mining companies.
[I would say the mining companies themselves are the predatory elite. - MrK]
Accordingly, the Government of Zimbabwe must surely do everything possible to ensure the greatest possible transparency about all matters relating to the mining and marketing of diamonds, and the management and use of the resultant financial resources, precisely because the Government would have nothing to hide.
In this context, the Government would obviously have to put in place very strict measures to combat any corruption that might arise, related to the diamond industry.
I have said all this because I have no doubt that there will be people both from Zimbabwe and elsewhere in the world who will see the opportunity of the exploitation of Zimbabwe's diamond resources as, for them, a happy occasion for self-enrichment by corrupt means.
In all humility, I would also say that the Government of Zimbabwe must put in place a progressive and long-term policy about the management of this important natural resource heritage, as it has done with regard to land, in this case relating to this country's diamonds.
This must mean sustained national access to the financial revenues deriving from the exploitation of this resource, and the use of these revenues to finance the necessary sustainable development, bearing in mind that what is mined, including diamonds, is not a renewable resource.
I know that Zimbabwe, like much of our region, is rich in natural resources, in addition to the land and the diamond resources we have spoken of this evening.
I have absolutely no doubt that Zimbabwe will evolve into one of the African Lions of which other objective observers have spoken, which will ensure that the people of this country achieve the objective we all seek of achieving the objective of a sustained and comprehensive better life.
Of critical importance in this context, will be how you, our Zimbabwe friends, present here today, handle your management of your natural resources, including land, diamonds, platinum, chrome, copper, coal, gold, and others of this country's many natural resources.
For many years now, our region, through SADC, has called for the lifting of sanctions against Zimbabwe, which regrettably has not happened.
Our region made this call not to advantage the ruling party in Zimbabwe, but to improve the socio-economic situation in Zimbabwe, in favour of the people as a whole.
We acted as we did as the people in place who had intimate knowledge of the situation in our countries and our neighbourhood. In this regard we were very happy that earlier this year, the UN Commissioner for Human Rights, Judge Navi Pillay, also called for the lifting of these sanctions.
The public position which many took relating to what UN Commissioner Navi Pillay said about Zimbabwe confirmed to us as Africans, to our regret, that the issue of human rights in international politics, certainly as it relates to us, is little more than an instrument in a global political struggle weighted to undermine the assertion of our right to self determination.
In this regard, as I did in Dubai last year, I would appeal to you as members of the Kimberley Process, not to allow the important Kimberley Process, in whose success our Continent is genuinely interested, to be abused by anybody whatsoever, for political purposes, among others to achieve the objective of 'regime change' in Zimbabwe.
In this regard I have no doubt that Africa, as a major producer and exporter of diamonds, will participate actively and willingly in any process to improve the functioning and other elements of the Kimberley Process, as I have said.
However, Africa and Southern Africa as a whole share the hope for the speedy economic and political recovery of Zimbabwe.
Together, as a billion Africans, we believe that the Zimbabwe diamonds will help to achieve these important objectives which would benefit our Continent as whole.
Both the Zimbabwe political leadership and the world political powers owe a sacred obligation to the peoples of Zimbabwe and Africa to ensure that this country's diamonds serve as the people's best friend!
I sincerely hope that all of us gathered here at this World Heritage Site, Musi oa Thunya, will take the decisions we must, which will enable the peoples of Zimbabwe and Africa to acquire the benefit of the heritage of a better life, and thus defeat all ill-intentioned attempts to inject into the Kimberley Process objectives inimical to its original and noble purposes.
As Africans we can have no objection to the goal that Africa must succeed.
As these Africans, including as Zimbabweans, we cannot have any other objective than that Zimbabwe re-establishes herself as one of Africa's preeminent pioneer counties.
You, Zimbabweans who are with us today, have an obligation to live up to this task, and therefore to honour what Africa has done to help guarantee your own right to self- determination, in Africa's own interest.
Whatever your faults which as Africans we share with you, nevertheless we demand of you that you must, at all times, act in a manner that upholds and demonstrates our character as true and noble Africans.
Thank you.

Troy Polamalu has waged war throughout his nine NFL seasons. According to the Pittsburgh Steelers' All-Pro safety, he has suffered just as many concussions.
Polamalu told "The Dan Patrick Show" on Wednesday he has endured eight or nine recorded concussions in the NFL, but the actual number could be much higher.
|Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu says he has lied about suffering concussions and injuries in order to get back onto the field. (Tom Hauck/Associated Press)
Polamalu estimated that many players suffer between 50 and 100 untracked head injuries during their career, but the culture of the NFL is for players to get back on the field. Polamalu admitted he has lied about his health to stay in the game.
"Yes I have, for sure," Polamalu told Patrick. "There's so much built up about team camaraderie and sacrifice. Football is such a tough man's game. ... It would be no different than the guy who goes to the mines in West Virginia. It's that kind of commitment you need to play football."
Welcome to the core issue. The NFL is ostensibly pushing for player safety, but the culture of the sport dictates a warrior mentality. You don't sit out.
It brings us back to Polamalu's words from last December, when he described weighing his fear of long-term injury against continuing with his brutal (All-Pro-level) style of play.
"That's the fear I think that any player faces," Polamalu told WTAE.com. "And that's the fear that any individual faces, overcoming any certain fears of being a coward, you know, and letting your teammates down or turning down a hit. That's the beautiful thing about sports is these fears are right in your face and it's pretty obvious if you turn them down or not."

Guys and girls sorry for my delay but this 24 hours have been very stressfull we had a massive earthquake here where i live , yes people i am from chile, the lands of earthquakes and fearless people, well not actually more like indoctrinated to resist an earthquake.
A few days before this event that most of people would not care about it, i saw in youtube a news reporter that was hidding under a desk for a earthquake of 4.4 really?, i truly believe that hie was joking, here the news reporter with 6,5 still gives the news and keeps calm to not panic everyone who is watching if you dont believe check youtube.
But earthquakes are scariest thing that it could happen to you, just imagine being on top of a washing machine its almost the same effect but you cant get down of this machine, like i said here we always have 4.4 , 5.6 earthquakes but we care about the ones that are 6.0 or above the others we dont care about it, but yesterday was another story we receive a earthquake of 8.2, many of you folks maybe watch news and saw this one, you can not imagine how it was in that moment complete dark, no water, no electricity and also the worst of all being alone and also the aftershocks thats is the worst i think.
if ask what should you do if something like this happen i will tell even if you dont want to know, first dont panic, is always your worst enemy, second never let your instinct controls you as animals we have the instinct of survival but that attribute isnt a good tool in this kind of situation you have to think as a human no like animal , third use your brain and seek safe spots never under any circuntances be under the bed in this situation is a death trap to escape always use the triangle of life if you dont know use google, and fourth be prepare have a backpack with anything you need water, food (snickers, cereal bars, energy bars anything that have a lot fat, because you will need it ) flash light , batteries radio no cell phones because the battery runs out very easy and you should use it only if you are sure that you will have signal, or you can be able to recharg the phone, a coat and the most important cigarretes, why?? they worth more than gold in this events.
that the basic from here you can have your own ideas how to improve
be safe, be prepared and always remember you are human and you are smart
thank you for the comment , but i think a little more letters will be better =P

I successfully installed Oracle 11g on a Fedora 15 system using this guide. Unfortunately, unlike when I'm using Windows, it seems I need to restart the database every single time I reboot my machine (it's a development machine, not a server).
I'm not sure this is the intended behavior or if I messed up something while installing the database.
Anyway, every single I reboot the machine I need to:
- Use
suto change the current user to the
- Use
sqplusto startup the database.
Like this:
(oracle@machine)$ sqplus / as sysdba
SQL> startup
SQL> (Ctrl+D)
- Then I need to start the listener using
Once more:
(oracle@machine)$ lsnrctl start
- And now the Enterprise Manager should also be started.
At least:
(oracle@machine)$ emctl start dbconsole
I've taken those instructions from here.
I'm sorry if this quite noobish, I usually have a DBA or a sysadmin to setup an environment for me but I'm doing this at home, where I have no help (maybe I'm becoming quite spoiled as a developer :)).
I wonder if it's possible to automate this on Fedora 15 using a shell script. After automating, I'd like to hook this on the init system, so it's performed every time I start the machine.

Another very common symbol on the Rosh HaShana table is the head of a fish, with the prayer "that we be a head and not a tail". We don't actually eat the head (yikes), just present it as a symbol; but we do eat the rest of the fish and here is a great easy recipe.
If you didn't use fennel for the previous symbol, Roviah, but green beans or beans, try adding it to the fish instead – it's a delicious combination! Some people do not like using lemon on Rosh HaShana (in the spirit of eating only things that are sweet, and not sour): if that's your case, add only the peel/zest, without the pulp.
- (serves 6-8 as an appetizer or 4 as a main course)
- 2 branzinos (a type of bass) or other white fish, about 2 pounds each - scaled, gills removed, gutted and rinsed
- 1 fennel bulb, sliced very thinly (I use a mandoline)
- 1 medium onion or leek, sliced thinly
- one lemon, sliced thinly, seeds removed
- fresh rosemary
- extra-virgin olive oil
- salt and white pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Using a sharp knife, make 3 or 4 diagonal cuts into the skin of the fish, on each side about 1/4-inch deep diagonally three times on each side.
Season the inside with salt and white pepper.
Stuff the inside with just a few slices of fennel, onion and lemon and a sprig of rosemary.
Brush a baking pan with extra-virgin olive oil (I prefer a milder extra-virgin oil for fish, like a Ligurian oil); on the bottom of the pan layer fennel, onion and lemon, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Drizzle with the olive oil.
Place the fish on top of the vegetables, sprinkle with little salt and drizzle with more olive oil, and transfer into the oven for about 18 minutes or until cooked (cooking time depends on the size of the fish – to make sure the fish is cooked check if it's flaking from the bone).

iPad Workflow Solutions for Classroom Education
When using iPads for education in classrooms, it's best to select workflow solutions such as Dropbox or Evernote, that work with your particular students and iPads. For example, sharing a cloud folder with each student is fine if you have to manage only a handful of accounts, but it might become cumbersome if there's no organizational management, and you're dealing with a hundred students.
Another factor that will influence workflow is whether you're in a 1:1 environment where each student has his or her own iPad or the iPads are being shared. A shared environment requires a workflow that doesn't expose one student's account to another.
Use Dropbox for iPad classroom workflow
Dropbox is one of the many cloud-based solutions for file storage and sharing. It's popular because of its features; its price; and the fact that it works across devices, platforms, and over the web.
Open a free account with Dropbox. You can easily store files in a Dropbox folder from any device and set sharing permissions for the folder. Depending on the intended usage, you can keep the folder private, share it with individual Dropbox users, or make it completely public. Dropbox enables you to do the following:
Distributing information: Pushing information out to students is a piece of cake. Just create a folder and share it via a link that students have on their iPads. They tap the link, and anything you've placed in the folder is immediately available. Students don't even need an account.
Submitting work: Students can submit their work without having an account if they have access to e-mail with Send to Dropbox. Sign up, and an e-mail address is linked to your Dropbox so that anyone can e-mail content that is automatically filed in your Dropbox.
Annotating and returning work: If you want to collect and return content, you should have each student sign up for a Dropbox account. Then you can create and share Dropbox folders with individual students. They can simply save assignments and content in the shared folders.
You also have the option of using an annotation app to mark up the content, create a copy, and then save it back into the shared folder for the student.
Accessing your Dropbox account: Access your Dropbox account over the web, or download the Dropbox app on your iPad for even simpler access. In addition, part of the appeal of Dropbox is that it's available from within a wide variety of iPad apps. Uploading and accessing your Dropbox files from those apps is fairly simple.
If you're in the United States and want your students to sign up and use any web account or service, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires that they need to be at least 13 years old or have permission from a parent or guardian.
Use Evernote for iPad classroom workflow
Evernote is such a versatile app that it can be used for a wide variety of objectives, including managing your classroom workflows. It's versatile enough to handle almost anything you require.
Each Evernote account has notebooks that you can create and customize. Each notebook contains notes. Those notes can contain almost anything digital, including text that you type, attached documents, images, sounds, videos, and even linked web pages. The secret to using Evernote as a workflow solution is that each notebook has sharing options ranging from private to shared with individuals and shared publicly with a link.
Start by opening an Evernote account. Like Dropbox, Evernote fits many of your workflow needs. Students can get free accounts, and Evernote works across devices and web browsers, has tiered sharing options, and also allows e-mail submissions:
Opening an Evernote account: You can sign up for free accounts or pay an annual fee for a premium account. Get a premium account for yourself, and free accounts for your students if needed. Please note that you must have an e-mail account to sign up.
Distributing information: Simple as pie. You have one teacher account with a notebook that you share with a public URL that students can access from their iPads. Anything you place in that notebook is available to people with access. No student accounts are needed.
Submitting work: This can also be achieved without student accounts. Every Evernote account has an associated e-mail address. Log in to Evernote, tap your name in the top-right corner, and select Settings from the drop-down menu. You'll find your Evernote e-mail account listed on that Settings page.
Add the address to Contacts on each student iPad, and give it a descriptive name (for example, Sam: Evernote Submit). Then students can e-mail work from any app to that e-mail address, and it goes right into your Evernote notebook. Make sure students write their names in the subject line of the e-mail as standard procedure.
Submit directly to a notebook: Create a notebook for the submissions, and students can e-mail their work directly to that notebook. For example, if you create a notebook for homework, students would send the e-mail with the subject line John Doe @Homework. The @ symbol automatically tells Evernote to file the submission in the specified notebook.
Enabling collaborative group work: Log into your Evernote account. Create a notebook, and change the sharing options to give each member of the group access. When you add members, you can specify the level of permission to give them anything from View Only to Modify and even Invite Others.
Members can create and share within that notebook however they please. By the way, you also have access because you created it, so you can check in at any time and review work or give feedback. It's ideal for the 1:1 iPad classroom!
Sharing work in progress: Share individual notebooks with students on a 1:1 basis (you both have Modify permissions), and you can check on work in progress. Use this structure for students keeping a blog or any other work in progress. Teachers can check student work and add comments or annotations.

Barristers are a professional body of speech makers in England (Wales being, for this purpose, a province of England) who work in courts of law. They help other people argue with one another and are generally feared for their extreme intelligence, power and social status. They ask questions but do not answer them.
Dress Codes and other fashions[edit]
When at work, they wear long black robes, after the popularity of George Lucas's creation the Darth Vader, and wigs after the popularity of the late and great European aristocracy following the Black Death. When not at work in court they lounge in their chambers, which are their bedrooms. Barristers' chambers are usually shared; with several barristers to one bed. However, they do not get along with each other or anyone else because they have spent too much time learning how to argue and not enough time learning to be friends. This unfriendly culture was not changed by the admission of women to the profession. A barristers' chambers is usually an old fashioned kind of place, with lots of dusty books, special bedding and dungeons where they keep pupils. Pupils wish to be barristers but are more akin to victims of crime when in chambers. Pupils are regularly whipped when not in the dungeons.
All barristers have to be members of special health and fitness clubs, called Inns of Court, of which there are four: Greyed Inn, Piddle Temple, Sinner Temple and Lincoln's Inn. There they dine together at long wooden tables and drink plenty of port. Greyed Inn was exempt on tax on alcohol forever by decreee of Queen Elizabeth 1st. Lincoln's Inn is famed for its Christian charity because instead of being a massive drinking club it houses all of London's homeless who are allowed to drink soup there so long as they don't walk on the grass. Sinner and Piddle do not allow anyone to walk their grass, soup or not; whereas Greyed Inn opens its grass up to the public for one hour a day.
Barristers speak a language all of their own, called Legalese which is designed to stop other people from understanding what they are saying. Legalese is a mixture of Church Latin, Medieval Latin, Latin Latin, Old English, Middle English, Norman French and pomposity. The Labour government elected in 1997 banned the Latin part of Legalese but parts of it persist. Unfortunately, in its zeal to rid the legal profession of antiquated Latin terms, the Labour Government also abolished Magna Carta and habeas Corpus.
Barristers often get called to the best and the worst parties, with the consequence that their lifestyle involves meeting all sorts of people and doing all sorts of things. It is said that no sexual depravity is too low for them to sink into and neither will they refuse any request. If a party needs to be confidential they will host it in their chambers although most party goers cannot afford their fees.
The mark of a top level barrister is a little acronym after their name: QC. No-one knows what this stands for so instead they are called Sulks. Becoming a QC is called "taking sulk" because at that point there is no-one left to talk to. When a sulk has had enough of his top level arguments, he (and occasionally, she, but never if they are from the ethnic minorities) becomes a Judge.
Famous barristers[edit]
The most famous barristers in England today include half of the Queen's cabinet and half of her shadow cabinet. The most famous barrister in history is Marshall Hall, an ex-law enforcer from America who couldn't get along with anyone stateside and consequently moved to England where he discovered that poor social skills and a proclivity for causing trouble went down very well indeed.
Most popular barrister of today[edit]
The most popular barrister in the country is Cherie Booth QC who famously failed to stop her prime minister from leading the country into an illegal war, which was exactly the kind of behaviour the English feel most proud of.
Facial Hair[edit]
Barristers wear wigs because they have all been driven bald, even the female ones, by the stress of constantly arguing. They sometimes sport large ungainly moustaches but beards are banned and only a handful flout these sacred rules.

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Grape Growers Association enlivens agriculture
- Mariann Johnston
- (505) 667-4391
New Mexico grape growers unite to increase production, with help of Northern New Mexico Connect
Over the last decade, a string of wineries has come to grace the scenic High Road to Taos. In 2010, Robert Naranjo, network facilitator for the Greater Espanola Valley Community Development Corporation (GEVCDC), was asked to find local grape growers to supply the wineries. "It's interesting to note that New Mexico has the longest history of wine production in the US," Naranjo says. "The legacy began in 1629 when a Franciscan friar planted the first Mission grapes south of Socorro."
With funding from Northern New Mexico Connect and matching funds from Rio Arriba County, Naranjo and GEVCDC President Lucia Sanchez helped to organize the Northern New Mexico Micro Grape Growers Association, which consists of 17 producers from Española and the villages of El Llano, La Mesilla, La Villita, Los Luceros, El Guique, Velarde, Hernandez and Dixon. The Association is focused on micro growers because most of land holdings in Rio Arriba County are between one and five acres in size. "Growing grapes gives us the opportunity to put small parcels of land back into production and to protect our water rights," says Sanchez, who is also a micro grower.
At the request of the wineries, the Association is focusing on Petite Syrah, Riesling, and Malbec. Grapes grown in the area are said to be sweeter because they mature more slowly with the cooler temperatures. It will take two more years before Association members harvest and sell the grapes. "In the meantime, Northern New Mexico Connect has planted the seeds for an important model of local agricultural production," says Association President Tim Martinez.

Jeremy Clarkson, on his Facebook page yesterday, posed the question above. Can a car be art? Most of the nearly 2,000 comments simply said, "Yes," but the question struck me and reminded me of at least two examples of cars also serving as art.
A car certainly requires art as it evolves from an idea in a designer's mind to a clay form to a concept. Typically, once production begins, any art that was involved in creating the idea of the car gets lost in the practicalities of building it.
That's not always true, of course, and I do believe a few examples of cars could be classified not only as automobiles, but as fine examples of pristine art.
