You can't eat sovereignty
"I was in a gathering of about 10 civic groups the other day and amongst other statements one person commented, "the system is irretrievably virused". In plain speak, Zimbabwe is fucked. Curious though that even with this very clear and creative description of where we're at there is very little energy spent reviewing the tactics that civic and human rights activists are using in challenging repression. Clearly, we need to change what we're doing because we're not having much impact.
But then again it's also really important to look around and check out what forms of direct action are taking place. Everywhere I look these days when I'm on the move in Harare, I see widespread guerilla gardening. Urban agriculture is pretty much illegal and often guerilla gardeners have their crops slashed – most cruelly when they are hip high and almost ready to harvest. But despite this threat urban dwellers have gone all out and are using every available patch of land to grow food for their families. Perhaps they don't see any hope in uprooting our dictator but that won't stop them trying to feed themselves." [link]
The growth in Iranian blogging is part of a worldwide surge.
In 1999, there were some 50 bloggers on the web; in January there were about 5.4 million; today, according to the blog search engine Technorati, there are more than 23 million.
There are reasons why Iran should be especially fertile ground for blogging. More than 90 per cent of the country is literate, and 70 per cent of the country's citizens are under 30. Computer ownership is relatively high and internet cafés abound. The first Iranian blog was born in November 2001, when Hossein Derakhshan, an Iranian journalist, posted instructions on how to build a simple weblog in under ten minutes. As Nasrin Alavi (a pseudonym) demonstrates in her new book, We Are Iran: the Persian Blogs, these diary sites cover the gamut: angry, sad, humorous and brave. Like all blogs they can also be self-indulgent, inaccurate, inarticulate and boring. Internet usage is growing faster in Iran than anywhere in the Muslim Middle East, and there are now more blogs in Farsi than in German, Italian, Spanish, Russian or Chinese. Apparently, since the rise of the blogs, graffiti have almost entirely vanished from the walls of Tehran's public toilets.
With almost all Iran's reformist newspapers closed down and many editors imprisoned, blogs offer an opportunity for dissent, discussion and dissemination of ideas that is not available in any other forum. There is wistful yearning in many Iranian blogs, and a persistent vein of anger: "I keep a weblog so that I can breath in this suffocating air," writes one blogger. "I write so as not be lost in despair." Blogs by Muslim women are particularly moving in their bitter portrayal of life behind the veil. [..]
Sabbah's: "... But that's not all. Here is more horrifying news to cheer-up the warmonger. This time with, lovers of sonic booms. Four Palestinians die due to sound-bombs and shelling in Gaza Strip:
Some 77 people, especially children and elderly women, rushed to the hospital after the attack, suffering from nausea and confusion, some of whom were transferred to a specialist care centre for treatment of the nervous system. Some of the more serious cases involved internal bleeding in the brain and five pregnant women lost their babies as a direct result of the sound-bomb attack - a new Israeli tactic known to traumatize and induce miscarriages.
In the last three decades, three important facts have emerged about the international drug traffic. The first is that it is both huge and growing.
Narcotics are estimated to be worth between $500 billion and $1 trillion a year, an amount, according to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan in remarks to a United Nations General Assembly session in June 2003, that is greater than the global oil and gas industry, and twice as large as the overall automobile industry.[2]
The second is that it is both worldwide and above all "highly integrated."[3] At global drug summits such as the one in Armenia in 1993, representatives of the Sicilian Mafia, the
One piece of evidence for this consists in a meeting which took place in July 1999 in southern France near Nice, at the villa in Beaulieu of Adnan Khashoggi, once called "the richest man in the world." Those at the meeting included a member of the Yeltsin cabal in the Kremlin and four representatives from the meta-group, with passports from Venezuela, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Germany. Between them they allegedly enjoyed excellent relations with:
1) Ayman al-Zawahiri, the acknowledged mastermind of 9/11 and senior mentor to Osama bin Laden.
2) Soviet military intelligence.
3) the FARC, the Colombian revolutionary group that has become increasingly involved in the drug traffic.
4) the Kosovo Liberation Army, a similarly involved group.
5) (according to a well-informed Russian source) the CIA.

And IRIN - ZIMBABWE: Police raid independent radio station
(Am starting to feel like a media enterprise myself, apart from some financial differences)
Contemporaneously to Saddam Hussein's trial in Baghdad, a trial is taking place in The Netherlands against Frans van Anraat. Witnesses in this trial are survivors and victims from the poison gass attacks in Kurdish Halabja. Van Anraat lived under SH's protection in Baghdad, through the sanctions (that didn't affect these 'huns'). Van Anraat claims to be a business man, or well that is the term which with his profession is indicated through the news. His business consisted of providing the substances for the poison gas.
Wanted by the FBI - Date: 25 May 2000:
Frans Cornelis Adrianus Van Anraat is a citizen of the Netherlands, born in Den Helder on August 9, 1942. He is a white male, 178 centimeters in height, and has graying hair. He wears eyeglasses and may have a full beard. He speaks Dutch, Italian, and English. He has visited Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands in recent years. He is now in Baghdad, Iraq.
CASE DETAILS: Soldiers in the First World War called mustard gas "the Devil's breath." It is one of the most terrible weapons ever devised. It can leave its victims blind and covered with agonizing blisters. Inhaled, mustard gas can cause a slow, painful death by suffocation. For decades, its use has been banned by international conventions. But illegal trafficking in mustard gas and other deadly chemical weapons continues. Two of the profiteers of this illicit trade are international fugitives.
Between October, 1987, and April, 1988, Frans Van Anraat and Peter Walaschek arranged for the illegal export of the chemical thiodiglycol from the United States. Thiodiglycol is a chemical used in the production of mustard gas. On January 26, 1989, Van Anraat was arrested by Italian authorities at the request of the U.S. government. Six months later, an Italian court rejected a U.S. extradition request. In February, 1990, the Italian Supreme Court overturned that decision and ordered Van Anraat's extradition, but he had already fled Italian jurisdiction.
Peter Walaschek was arrested in the United States in July, 1988, He pleaded guilty to violating U.S. export laws. But prior to his sentencing he escaped to Germany in December, 1988.
If you have any information concerning Frans Van Anraat or Peter Walaschek, you should contact the nearest U. S. embassy or consulate. The U. S. guarantees that all reports will be investigated and all information will be kept confidential. The U.S. may pay a reward for information that leads to the arrest of these fugitives.From: FBI
Reporters Without Borders today published four Letters to a young African who wants to be a journalist to coincide with a two-day Africa-France summit dedicated to young people that starts tomorrow in the Malian capital of Bamako. The letters were written by veteran journalists from Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria and Zimbabwe.
"These four personal accounts are instructive, showing us how African journalists do honour to a dangerous profession despite oppression, poverty and indifference," the press freedom organisation said. "Independent journalists are vital for people and nations. If France really wants to help Africa, it should defend its freedom. And if Africa's leaders want to defend the interests of their peoples, they should be proud that a vigorous and responsible press is free to criticise them without risking prison or death."
African teenagers dream of being journalists, the authors of the four letters say. "Just for fun, I used to play at being a reporter during the school championships," writes Donat M'Baya Tshimanga of the Democratic Republic of Congo, who heads an Congolese organisation called Journalist in Danger (JED).
Journalists often serve as models, like star soccer players or film actors. Guthrie Munyuki of Zimbabwe's Daily News says he could not decide whether to be a lawyer, journalist or soccer player. "I saw myself as the next Mike Munyati, the late journalist for the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation, and Michel Platini, the former mercurial French footballer." [..]

Alumni on Euroculture: read their stories!
23 Jul 2019
Three Euroculture graduates tell about how Euroculture helped them in their careers. See more below.
Razvan, graduated in 2017
Currently, I am a PhD candidate at Durham University. Euroculture helped me to develop a sense of understanding modern society as much at a theoretical level as it did at an empirical level. This master programme proved to be more of a life experience rather than a traditional study syllabus, bridging the gaps between the various cultures of Europe and of the world. Euroculture taught me how interdisciplinarity can be adopted at an individual-level and eventually this approach led my way to begin a PhD project based on the same methods assimilated during my masters.
Mari, graduated in 2015
I work as a Compliance Analyst with Philips in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. My Euroculture studies contributed a lot to my career development: understanding of public discourse and narratives is a great asset for the analysis of the reputational risk the organization faces. The experience of following EU and national policy-making keeps me well informed of the legislation and regulation trends I implement every day. In addition to the research skills fundamental to the compliance analysis, numerous group projects I implemented during my Master's, within international teams prepared me well for the tough stakeholder management in a multicultural setting.
Namchoke, graduated in 2016
I work at the Royal Thai Embassy to Belgium and Luxembourg, as International Customs & Trade Law Project Officer. This job allows me to put into practice my knowledge of international law, international relations and the EU.
What attracted me in Euroculture was the relevance of the courses offered, especially the course on integration processes in Europe and Asia. Many courses in the curriculum were from a large variety of disciplines, so I was convinced that this would help to expand and deepen my knowledge of the social sciences and the humanities. The accessibility of professors also played their part in my decision. Last but not least, assistance was provided by the university student office in my application for visa and search for accommodation.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Two Iraqi lawmakers denounce a proposed deal that would provide for a permanent presence of US forces in Iraq (see March 7, 2008 and June 5, 2008). In a hearing of a House foreign affairs subcommittee chaired by William Delahunt (D-MA), two Iraqi legislators, Sheikh Khalaf al-Ulayyan and Professor Nadeem al-Jaberi, both lambast the deal. Al-Ulayyan is a Sunni cleric and al-Jaberi is a Shi'ite parliamentarian. Al-Jaberi says that the biggest problem with the deal is that it threatens Iraq's sovereignty. "The Iraqi government right now does not have the full reign of its sovereignty, because of the thousands of foreign troops that are on its land," he says. "And perhaps the Iraqi government does not have as of yet sufficient tools to run its own internal affairs. Therefore, I ask the American government not to embarrass the Iraqi government by putting it in a difficult situation with this agreement." Since the status of the two nations is so unequal, al-Jabari says, the deal will likely "lead to more instability," and they hope "any future agreement does not affect or impact Iraqi sovereignty, such as permanent military bases." Any such security deal must wait until US troops have fully withdrawn from Iraq, he says. Al-Ulayyan says he wants to "salute the American people for their stand against the war, which we saw on TV in the form of demonstrations and protests." While he warns against a precipitous withdrawal of US forces that might lead to "impotence and flaws in the security," he notes that "protecting Iraq does not require signing long-term agreements like the one proposed, because [the US has] bases in surrounding countries like Kuwait, Jordan and so forth, and therefore, we don't see any importance or need for military bases in Iraq."

国立情報学研究所 - ディジタル・シルクロード・プロジェクト
|Archaeological Researches in Sinkiang : vol.1
|新疆の考古学的調査 : vol.1
Mr. CHEN also noticed that the family had a small vegetable garden. Their efforts to cultivate wheat here were, however, unsuccessful.
There are large quantities of fish in the lower Tarim of our days, and many of the water-fowl there furnish excellent meat, and their eggs are collected in the season. Of larger game the boar and the antelope should be mentioned.' We have no reason to suppose the animal life to have changed since the time of Lou-lan, or, to express it more correctly, the faunae of Lou-lan's time have now returned to the desert along with the life-giving water.
For further discussion of the autochthon population cf. pp. 143-145.
The activities of the several Japanese expeditions sent to Sinkiang between 1904 and 1911 by Count OTANI and the Buddhist monastery Nishi Hongwan-ji in Kyoto are known to me only through reviews of their publications2 and the mention which STEIN makes of them. Of the original Japanese publications only one has been obtainable : Mr HANEDA'S Description of some documents discovered by the mission OTANI in Chinese Turkistan (Toyo gakuho I : 2, 191 I ). When the text of this chapter was already in proof the large catalogue of the Korean National Museum in Seul was received (Amamuna & Minamoto : Chosen Kobi-jitsu Taikwan). In the third volume of this work Pl. 82 shows, inter alia, a water bag of skin from Rooran (i. e. Lou-lan). More remarkable are the contents of Pl. 78 (Pl. 79-81 show some of the same objects enlarged). Unfortunately there is no accompanying text, only a statement that the articles originate from the local people in Central Asia ( !) As to who collected the things, when and where, the catalogue gives no information. Now the following objects are easily identified as corning from autochthon graves in the Lop desert : the four small baskets on the left in the upper row of Pl. 78, the two felt head-dresses flanking the lower row, and the raw-hide shoe in the centre of the lower row of the same plate. These things are in fact so similar to my own finds from "ÖRDEK's necropolis" that I feel practically certain that they originate from there too. Are these the results of the earlier plunderings of the site? As stated by ÖRDEK the searches of the site were started on the order of the Chinese Amban in Charkhliq. We know that Mr. TACHIBANA of the Nishi Hongwan-ji expeditions was in Charkhliq in both 1910 and 1911. Did he inspire the Amban to bring forth antiquities with the help of the natives, or did the Amban start the action to suit Mr. TACHIBANA? Any of these possibilities seem likely. It seems less probable that Mr. TACHIBANA himself went to "ÖRDEK's necropolis", as ORDEK mentioned none but local people among the treasure-seekers.
A footnote in Stein 1928, p. 787, may be of importance in this connection: —
1 Among the present population hunting does not play any important rôle in the economic life of the people, and the boar is avoided on religious grounds.
2 PÉRI in BEFEO 1909 p. 626, 1910 p. 652, 1911 p. 465, and MASPERO in 1915 p. 57.

This 1986 Nissan Maxima is a rarely seen station wagon that looks to be in very nice condition despite mileage of 167k. Offered by its second owner, the car is said to have remained with its first until 2017. Everything is reported to work including features like power adjustable seats and cruise control, and all equipment down to the silver-faced cassette deck, graphic equalizer and wheels looks stock. New tires are listed as well, and the only noted issue is A/C that still works, but perhaps not as well as it could. Find it here on Craigslist in Spokane, Washington for $3,700. Special thanks to BaT reader Patrick F. for this submission.
The second generation PU11 Maxima was produced from 1984 until 1988 and was the last to offer a wagon body style. Exterior cosmetics photograph well, with consistent, factory looking two-tone paint. The roof isn't shown in detail but a sunroof is visible. Body panels look straight and properly lined up, and trim looks good around including large front and rear bumpers. Wheels are a cool looking set of factory-offered items which are wrapped in fresh Dunlop tires according to the seller.
The interior is a trip back in time with loads of angular, tan-colored plastics. The sounds system appears to retain the factory deck, and just below it is a graphic EQ panel. Once again, everything looks to be in good shape including the dash and driver's seat. Air conditioning is said to remain functional, but could likely benefit from a recharge according to the seller. The steering wheel is wearing a wrap from a long time ago that appears due for replacement. A closer look at the instrument cluster reveals dual trip meters and an oil pressure gauge as well.
An odd colored floor mat currently occupies the driver's footwell, but as long as the old one did its job in preserving the carpet underneath it's a small price to pay. Seats are of a plush velour design that looks recliner-comfy.
The PU11 platform set the tone for the Maxima as a FWD vehicle. Motivation in US-spec examples like this comes from a VG30E V6, while tax legislation in Japan meant the home market was given a smaller displacement version of the same engine with an optional turbocharger. The version here displaces three liters and uses a SOHC (per bank) 12-valve design. Factory rated output was just over 150 HP with 182 lb. ft. of torque, sent to the front wheels via a 4-speed automatic transaxle in this car.
Maintenance isn't mentioned, but the engine bay looks very tidy, and we'd be curious to know if the seller has any records from the previous longterm owner.

One of the most successful online jobs will be freelance writing. Thats because as more and more businesses take it to the net, more and more website articles become neededand this is not to cover the offline content demand, namely those for the academe, print magazines, etc.
But that is simply from the side with the business establishments. Freelance writing grows because of its convenience in terms of time, effort, and also money. You dont need to go actually to an office to create. You can just stay home and work on your pc and still be able to do your habitual beeline for the fridge or the lounger from time to time. And if youre operating full time in an additional job, you can even do freelance writing during breaks or cracks or extra time.
Provided these advantages of getting online writing careers, lets go into the process of you get one. First thing a newbie freelancer may ask is where do I get a independent job? You can search on the web for web content and freelance service providers. Two famous examples are GetaFreelancer.com and oDesk.org. They allow clients (or perhaps those looking for the self employed) to post job adverts on their site, which may be browsed and requested by service providers (or even freelancers like you). In short, they provide a place for outsourcing jobs, which by the way arent just restricted to writing however include the whole array of jobs which can be done and submitted on the internet.
Another way you can get a freelance writing job is through forums. Compared with platforms like oDesk, however, job articles through forums are quite a bit hard to come by. Also, unless you know the job poster well, it would be quite hard to assure youll get paid and you still both have to negotiate your terms.
But whether youll be getting jobs from websites such as oDesk or from discussion board posters, youll just be basically dealing with either a company or an individual hiring entity. The thing concerning individual employers is they usually pay very low compared to companies. Thats due to the fact hiring individuals are generally just outsourcing middle men themselves: they acquire jobs from customers and get commission by outsourcing them to other people. Companies, on the other hand, are very more stable within the sense that they pretty much follow industry charges for freelance jobs and already have an established payment scheme.
Obviously, you should know how much youll be paid for the job youre getting. Sad to say but with the amount of freelancers looking for careers online, the propensity of clients and also outsourcers are to slash lower their rates, becoming quite sure that there'd be many available willing to take on their job offer. These days, there are jobs that can rate as low as $1.Double zero for every 500-word article. The end here is to negotiate, specifically if you got an impressive resume.
Lastly, it would be recommended that you find your market. If you know a lot or perhaps have an interest in gizmos and technology, you are able to take online composing jobs for that field. That way youll be able to sustain your interest in what youre writing.

The Yankees have had extension talks with Luis Severino, reported FanCred's Jon Heyman on Wednesday, adding that it isn't known whether the two sides are close to a deal.
Severino is scheduled to have an arbitration hearing before the season to determine his salary for 2019, and any extension would likely cover this season and the remainder of his arbitration years (in 2020, 2021, and 2022).
The 24-year-old Severino struggled badly in the second half of 2018 after a dominant first half, winding up with a 3.39 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 191.1 innings (32 starts).
"It was tough," Severino recently said about his second half. "I had a great first half and then all that happened. I just struggled a little bit. I know the pitcher I am. I know I'll come back and pitch well again."
Aside from Severino, the Yankees don't have any members of their expected 2019 starting rotation under team control beyond 2020.
CC Sabathia is under contract through this season only, and is expected to retire at the end of the year.
Masahiro Tanaka is under contract through 2020, recently-acquired James Paxton is under team control arbitration-eligible) through 2020, and J.A. Happ is signed through 2020, though his deal includes an option for 2021.

In order to provide the best care for our community, to attract the best health care professionals and create the best partnerships with 'outside' specialty centres, we are always working to invest in new and expanded technologies.
Funds are raised through a number of avenues including signature events (Annual Gala, Golf Classic, Tour de Headwaters), employee engagement events (Hockey Night for Headwaters & Hittin' the Slopes for Headwaters) third party community events, direct mail campaigns, email campaigns, memorial and in honour programs, legacy & planned giving programs, and partnerships with corporate and individual donors.

Without a doubt, I'm alive today in part because of angels: Angels at Headwaters… And angels who GAVE to Headwaters! It's people like you — people who give without expecting anything in return — who one day may be on the receiving end of a gift you gave. Think about it… the gift you give to Headwaters today could save your life tomorrow… Or next week… Or maybe even next year!
Scott Deugo, More than just a grateful patient
I will have to live with cancer for the rest of my life – or until a cure is found. Today, Headwaters Health Care Centre's Chemotherapy Suite is my second home. I spend a lot of time here and the experience is amazing – I mean, as good as it can be under the circumstances. Unfortunately, I know that Headwaters Health Care Centre is not going to cure my cancer. But what they are doing is providing me with a better quality of life and with time. Right now, my children have a mother. My mother has a daughter. All thanks to the cancer treatment I get from the doctors and nurses at Headwaters. Take it from me. Time is a most precious commodity. Thank you for making a gift that will buy more of it for me, and everyone like me.
Donna Montgomery, Oncology Patient
It's scary to go through your life knowing that eventually due to the fate of genetics, you would depend on dialysis to keep you alive. But, once you arrive, get to know your nurses, doctors and fellow patients and start receiving the treatment you need, you quickly realize what a blessing Headwaters Health Care Centre truly is and why it is worthy of your support.

These are a few of the many activities available to campers during their free time.
No registration fee, activity fees, or hidden fees.
SC247 has the same DNA as Teen Serve Camp. We want to empower young people to make life happen through love projects. That said, while the core of what we will do is the same (love projects), SC247 will enable teens to experience:
Below is a "sample schedule" of a day at 247. Keep in mind being together 247 enables us to have flexibility in planning day to day so you can expect great variety.
7:00-8:30 Breakfast, shower, prepare lunch
8:30-9:00 Small Group
9:00-5:00 Love Projects
5:00-6:30 Free Time
6:30-7:00 Dinner
7:00-8:30 Big Group
8:30-10:00 Night Activity
10:00-10:30 Small Group
11:00 Lights Out
Yes, however, before we share our safety protocols please note that lake activities for junior and teen camp will be very limited as the focus of our days at camp (outside of Friday Celebration days and overnight stays) are on serving. During SC247 young people will have significantly more time available to participate in lake activities.
Our general safety protocols include having certified lifeguards on hand, requiring all swimmers to wear life vests when in the water, and shallow areas for non-swimmers to enjoy. Keep in mind, you are your child's best advocate and safety net, so during registration you will be asked to verify your child's ability to swim. If you're unsure and would like us to verify we will do so. Please note that if during lake activities lifeguards, counselors, or our admin team feel your child is not comfortable in water and/or not a proficient swimmer we will ask them to move to shallow areas to enjoy. Either way they will have a blast!
The main emphasis of SC247 is to love and serve people but we'll certainly build in daily "free" time. While we want to offer teens some free time to simply hang out and enjoy our 100 acre "playground", we also realize that too much of a good thing isn't such a good thing. So, there will not be long stretches of free time every day except for Fridays.
Hmm. YES! Call us crazy but we think serving people is fun (thousands of teens have proved this over the last 8 years). Plus we've got a 100 acre "playground", of course it will be fun!
Yes. We have limited bunk space so please be sure to place your $50 deposit right away to secure your spot as we expect 247 to be very popular.
Yes, for safety purposes, we will require at least one adult SC team member per 10 campers.
The camp fee covers lodging, food, transportation, love projects, 2 camp t-shirts, cinch bag, water bottle, planned activities, and FUN! Don't worry, nobody will be hungry or without shelter at SC247. Feel free to send spending money with your camper to use in our spirit store.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day except Sunday check-in where we will provide dinner. All meals will be family style in order to help teens build meaningful connections and life-long friendships.
Please note SC247 will not be a strict peanut/treenut free camp. Upon request, we will provide vegetarian, gluten-free, and peanut/tree-nut free options, but unfortunately can't guarantee all meal environments will be peanut/tree-nut free.
While we will do our best to accommodate your camper's dietary needs please note there may be occasional times where your camper's dietary needs are beyond our capacity. In this case, your camper is welcome to bring their own meals for the week. We will provide refrigerators and microwaves.
If you have questions that we have not adequately answered we welcome you to please contact our camp nurse.
Our 100 acre SC Campground has many awesome features including several lodges, meeting facilities, and more. Each lodge is air conditioned and has divided bunk rooms, restrooms with showers, a kitchenette, and a community sitting area.

(NEW YORK) — It's no surprise to dog owners, but now it's scientifically sound: Dogs will go out of their way to help their owners when their humans are upset.
In a new study with the Lassie-inspired title Timmy's in the Well: Empathy and Prosocial Helping in Dogs, Johns Hopkins University researchers positioned 34 dogs, one at a time, behind a door closed by magnets. On the other side was a given dog's respective owner.
Their owners were asked to either sing You Are My Sunshine or to feign crying. When the owners "cried," the pooches pawed the doors open faster.
Scientists had thought dogs would only try to open the door only when the owners were crying, but that turned out not to be the case; however, they did open the doors three times faster than the dogs with the singing owners. In some cases, the sound of their owners crying made some dogs freeze.
"We found dogs not only sense what their owners are feeling — if a dog knows a way to help them, they'll go through barriers to provide to help them," which was a discovery for the scientists, according to lead author Emily Sanford, a graduate student in psychological and brain sciences at Johns Hopkins University.
"Dogs have been by the side of humans for tens of thousands of years, and they've learned to read our social cues. Dog owners can tell that their dogs sense their feelings. Our findings reinforce that idea and show that, like Lassie, dogs who know their people are in trouble might spring into action."

We are paradoxical. We are beings who are limited and who will always create a world of suffering, and we're beings who have the capacity to understand that and, in some way, go beyond it.

Analysis Paper 1: Historical Changes in Language
Throughout history, spoken and written language has changed as various countries and its people have invaded, migrated, and conquered other countries. By bringing different languages to other civilizations, language merged with the native tongues. For example, Old English was similar to Modern German, Middle English stemmed from the Norman Conquest and brought with it French vocabulary, and Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales is a major piece of literature from this period which reflects this influence. "While vocabulary can change quickly, sentence structure--the order of words in a sentence--changes more slowly" (Mahoney). The General Prologue of The Canterbury Tales written during the Middle English time period is an example of this as, although the etymologies of the words have their basis in Middle English, the sentence structure allows the modern ...view middle of the document...
" (The General Prologue—Translation). If a reader were to concentrate on the Middle English spelling, the context might be lost as would the rhythm of the writing.
Through the etymology of Chaucer's words and the Great Vowel Shift, most of his language is able to be recognized and translated into Modern English (Mahoney). Pronunciation of vowels changed and it is presumed the spelling reflects those changes. There are words in The General Prologue which are more difficult to understand and translate. Words such as 'bifil' became 'befell', 'corages' became 'ramp and rage', and 'everichon' became 'every one'. These changes could reflect the introduction of another language to Chaucer's Middle English vocabulary. Tracing words from Old English to Middle English can be a result of the Scandinavian and Norman invasions during the early part of the Middle English period (The nature of language change). The invaders brought their language and integrated it with the dialects of the invaded country.
Lockerby states that "Chaucer created a new meld of words and phrases" by combining Germanic English and Norman English and this language become Middle English which assisted in the creation of a language for literature (Lockerby). Through the use of languages from other countries, Chaucer was able to combine grammar, phonology, and morphology from these sources to produce Middle English which then became widespread. It is through the etymology of his words that we are able to understand the progression of his words to our Modern English.

Employment Minister launches USP Orientation Week
Employment Minister launches USP Orientation Week
University of the South Pacific's (USP) 2018 Orientation
Week was officially launched by the Honourable Jone Usamate,
Fijian Minister for Employment, Productivity and Industrial
Relations, at the Laucala Campus on 29 January 2018.
The Orientation Week, which is from 29 January – 1 February is designed to give all new students an opportunity to meet Faculty members, attend Faculty orientation sessions, seek academic guidance and register for courses.
The week also provides an opportunity for students to meet fellow students and get linked to a Buddy under the Campus Life First Year Experience Programme and receive a guided campus tour with their Buddy.
While congratulating the students for enrolling at USP, Hon. Usamate thanked the University for an excellent Orientation Programme.
"We did not have the opportunity to go through such a good orientation programme when we were students so you students, are very fortunate and over the years, the University has continuously improved on this programme and you are going to get the benefit of that," Hon. Usamate said.
He further stated that USP is the oldest University in the region and acknowledged the wealth of knowledge and experience that students will receive during their studies at the University.
"I know that a small percentage of the children of the Pacific manage to get to USP, and you are the chosen few who have been able to make it here and today and the next few years will be some of the best years in your life," he told the new students.
Hon. Usamate said that the students should
consider themselves special, as they are starting their
studies at a time when the University is turning fifty
An orientation programme in the work environment, Hon. Usamate emphasised, assists workers to be as productive as possible in the shortest possible time, and echoed the same sentiments for University life.
He talked about some of the graduate attributes that employers would like to see which students can develop while they are here at the University and these include teamwork; ability to be inquisitive and innovative; adaptability and flexibility; and the idea of collaboration.
The Minister urged the students to make the best possible use of the Orientation week which will help them prepare for their stay at the University.
In his address, Professor Rajesh Chandra, Vice-Chancellor and President of USP told the new students that they have made the right choice by coming to USP, because they will get the highest quality, internationally accredited programmes which means that the quality of their qualifications is as high as those in Australia, New Zealand and other countries, and that they can easily work in any country they choose.
Professor Chandra highlighted that the University is very positive about this new academic year with total enrolment up by fourteen per cent (14%) at this stage.
"We are excited by the additional improvements in our lecture capture system that makes access to lectures to every student possible; the distribution of tablet computers has been made earlier and easier; and we have shown a major improvement in quality as evidenced by the University exceeding its Strategic Plan targets by obtaining 26 international accreditations with hopefully a few more to come this year; and of course we are excited by our 50th anniversary landmark and celebrations," Professor Chandra shared.
He further stated that we now live in a world where Mobile Applications make our life easier and studying more effective, hence, encouraged students to use the two (2) applications designed for them, which are the 'USP Campus Map' and 'USP Mobile App'.
The former
application is designed to help students navigate to their
lecture and tutorial rooms, labs and any other building in
Laucala Campus. It also shows nearest ATMs, shops, washrooms
and other places around the Laucala Campus.
The latter application, designed by the Faculty of Science, Technology and Environment, has features such as, News Feed, Notification, Events, Course Finder, Orientation, Frequent Asked Questions, Timetable and other important features.
Talking about the University's 50th
Anniversary Celebrations this year, Professor Chandra
highlighted that a large number of activities are organised
for the celebrations and the President of Fiji will launch
the year-long celebrations on 5

MMA Betting
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is an exciting, competitive and violent sport. It's a bit more "raw" then boxing. It combines a number of fighting styles with players allowed to kick, tackle and wrestle. Recently, the sport has become extremely popular with the number of bettors wagering on it, skyrocketing. Many of the major sportsbooks offer MMA bets.
When considering sportsbooks, it is important to look to place bets at some of the most reputable sportsbooks. This will decrease the likelihood of getting jipped and not being paid what a person is owed. The more established sportsbooks tend to make accurate, payouts on time. The lesser known ones may not be as trustworthy and it can be difficult to receive a refund if something goes wrong.
MMA Betting Types and Odds
The primary type of MMA wager is a Moneyline bet. This is a straight up bet. Bettors bet on which fighter will win a match. Odds tend to change and likely won't be set in stone until right before the fight. Bettors interested in betting on the underdog are encouraged to wait until the last minute. The odds tend to be better when they do.
Moneyline Bets: Most MMA wagers are Moneyline bets. The odds may be written as such, Diego Sanchez (-350) vs. Daniel Hendersen (+200) Diego Sanchez would be the favorite. For every $3.50 a person wagers, they will win $1.00. If a person bet on Daniel Hendersen, they would have to spend $1.00 to win $2.00.
Over / Under Bets: MMA does offer total bets in addition to Moneyline bets. Typically these over / unders bets are based on the number of rounds a match will go.
Prop Bets: A prop bet in MMA would be something like, "Will fighter A beat Fighter B by Knockout?" The odds would be something like, "Yes = -110 and No = -110". There are sometimes a large number of these types of prop bets for any given MMA fight.
MMA Major Events
Two of the most important franchises in the sport are Strikeforce and UFC. Anytime either of them puts on an event, it is huge and generates a ton of buzz amongst mixed martial arts fans.
Strikeforce Title Fights: Strikforce has been involved in mixed martial arts since 2006. Fights are shown in Canada (Super Channel) and the United States (Showtime, NBC and CBS). Championship fights are major events and a popular choice for bettors.
UFC Title Fights: UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) is the most well known name in mixed martial arts fighting. Founded in 1993, they are the granddaddy of MMA. They hosted their first match in Denver, Colorado. They're fights are shown in the United States (SPIKE, ESPN and pay-per-view) Canada and Europe. Betting on UFC championship matches is popular amongst MMA bettors.
MMA Betting Strategy and Tips
Successful, MMA betting requires dedication. It is never a good idea to wager on a particular fighter without knowing anything about them. This is potentially a waste of money. Sure, a person may get luck every now and then, but this is no way to wager responsibly, especially if an individual is considering long term betting. Overtime, these types of bettors will lose much more money then they make.
MMA bettors need to spend an adequate amount of time researching fighters. Gathering information on win/loss records and a fighter's injury status is a good place to start. This will help bettors wager more intelligently, giving them a better chance at winning then if they went into it blindly.
The Internet is a good place to begin learning more fighters. There are tons of independent blogs and websites dedicated to mixed martial arts, with really good information. Bettors should also be sure to check out the official franchise websites of the UFC and Strikeforce. They will often have the most up-to-date and accurate information. Research isn't a one-time thing, it is imperative that bettors keep abreast of happenings in the sport. That way if someone gets hurt, or suffers a losing streak, they can keep this in mind when wagering.
Mixed martial arts have become extremely popular. Fans tend to appreciate the toughness and brutality of the sport. It is full force combat, with almost anything going. The UFC and Strikeforce have inspired individuals throughout the United States and other countries to take up the sport. Many matches are held in bars, nightclubs and wherever there is room. This can end up being quite dangerous. Professional fighters face a tremendous amount of risk but as professionals, are a bit more equipped to protect themselves, although some of them have been hurt severely even dying.
Hopefully this gives you a nice overview of MMA betting and how it works. Know that the two biggest MMA franchises are UFC and Strkeforce. The latter is the new kid on the block, though they are quickly gaining popularity and prominence. The UFC is the more established franchise and generally considered the leader in the sport.
