All hands on deck for Zoo and Zoo Lake blitz operation
City of Johannesburg Press Statement by Cllr Margaret Arnolds
Member of the Mayoral Committee for Community Development
Media Statement Saturday,
18 January 2020
For Immediate Release
All hands on deck for Zoo and Zoo Lake blitz operation
The Executive Mayor of the City of Joburg, Cllr Geoff Makhubo and the Member of the Mayoral Committee for Community Development, Cllr Margaret Arnolds conducted an oversight visit and led a seasonal blitz operation at the Joburg Zoo on Saturday, 18 January 2020 from 7am.
The atmosphere prior to commencement, which kickstarted by triggering a countdown clock, saw teams from across the entity in green, blue, brown and orange overalls gather at the Zoo, with a host of specialised vehicles and equipment.
The Executive Mayor, Councillor Geoff Makhubo commended the team for working even in the rain to make sure service shortfalls are speedily addressed. He challenged the teams to do more and confirmed that he will be present in all regions, including the Inner City to ensure that basic concerns are tackled.
The successful operation dealt with issues within the Zoo, along the outside perimeter and at Zoo Lake. This included resolving electrical and plumbing concerns, reinstating fences, installing new flushing mechanisms in the ablution facilities, removing damaged signs inside and outside the Zoo and focusing on tree and lawn maintenance.
"Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo (JCPZ) the entity responsible for designated open spaces including the Joburg Zoo, public parks, street trees and nature reserves, is working in all regions, to tackle the seasonal backlogs in horticultural services, after the intense rains. This blitz operation is not limited to the Zoo," said MMC Arnolds.
Proactive plans were developed by JCPZ that included internal operations and external contractors to address the seasonal overgrowth, however the delayed rains had a knock-on effect on schedules over the festive season, where staffing is limited due to the holidays and plans are further disrupted due to the erratic rains.
This is a seasonal issue which has warranted JCPZ utilizing its limited resources over the weekend, to speedily resolve all backlogs.
The mayoral delegation included visits to the various enclosures within the Joburg Zoo, focusing on animal wellbeing. The oversight visit comes on the heels of the NSPCAs inspection on 7 January, which gave the zoo a clean bill of health.
MMC Arnolds, who entered the Otter enclosure to inspect the quality of water and then visited the three elephants bathing in their new pond, reassured residents that JCPZ, is working hard to make certain designated spaces are maintained and that our animals well taken care off.
Residents who are unsure of which departments are responsible for neglected open spaces and verge maintenance are urged to call 011 375 5555 to register their requests.
MMC Arnolds also took the time to thank the many residents who are maintaining and managing sidewalks that fall under the JRA mandate. Arnolds commented that, "the City sincerely appreciates every resident that has taken the time to maintain and beautify areas adjacent to their homes which builds happy neighbourhoods and healthy families".

Don't mess with Mzanzi, let's keep our parks and city litter-free
Media Statement
Date: Tuesday, 10 December 2019
Joburg is abuzz this time of the year. The weather is good, the festive fever is high and everyone has a skip in their step. Summer breezes in, with long days and warm nights, the perfect recipe to be spending outdoors in any of the parks in Mzanzi.
Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo (JCPZ), the custodians of greening in the city has prepared the parks for all its users this summer. Lawns are lush and green, trees provide the perfect spot for picnics and braais and there is ample space for children to run around and enjoy the safe play equipment. With over 2 300 parks and approximately 10 000 hectares of green nature experiences, Joburgers are spoilt for choice this silly season.
But what happens after a day of fun in the park? Do you leave your litter strewn all over your park, or do you choose to leave your picnic site spotless? Sadly, JCPZ has had to use its already stretched resources to pick up piles of litter, especially after a public holiday or weekend.
Just as concerning are the number of users that visit the zoo, who are still not disposing the litter in the bins provided. This can be fatal for the animals if a packet or container is ingested by an animal.
To increase awareness, City Parks and Zoo is enhancing its anti-littering awareness campaign to impress on park and Zoo users' the need to value the environment and to encourage positive use. JCPZ is urging users to take ownership, and to properly dispose or recycle all litter.
Litter is an eyesore; impacts on the health of our loved ones as it attracts pests like rodents, mosquitoes and cockroaches; impacts on economic growth; takes away our civic pride; attracts further littering and dampens community spirit, leaving one with a sense of hopelessness.
The City of Joburg spends billions of Rands annually in its efforts to keep our city clean. The environmental impact is dire as well, as rubbish dumped in wetlands, lakes and rivers running through green spaces, has an adverse effect on the city's biodiversity.
As more people will be flocking to parks this holiday, JCPZ urges residents not to litter in parks and to please obey all park safety by-laws. Transgressions can be reported to the Joburg Emergency Call Centre on 011 375 5911 or to the rangers on 011 472 6539.
"The cost to remove illegally disposed of litter and rubble, invariably takes away from the city using these much needed resources to build a more vibrant Joburg. City Parks and Zoo (JCPZ) as the custodians of parks and open spaces, will have litter-picking staff and emergency teams in place over the festive season, however the onus is on users to keep these spaces clean and vibrant" stated Bryne Maduka, the Managing Director of Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo.

JCPZ bags Best State-Owned Entity Award at this year's Vision 2030 Awards 2019
Date: 21 November 2019
Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo (JCPZ), the custodians of nature conservation and greening champions in the City of Johannesburg, was last night awarded the coveted 'Best State-Owned Entity' at the Vision 2030 Awards for the year 2019!
In line with the mandate of the National Development Plan 2030, the annual Vision 2030 Awards recognize the strides made by organisations and individuals alike from all sectors, which have impacted positively on the lives of ordinary South Africans.
Through their commitment, passion and active participation in delivering services to the people, these awards aim to inspire fellow citizens to be positive change agents.
JCPZ, as an entity wholly owned by the City of Joburg, has remained consistent and steadfast in its mandate to improve the quality of life of residents and visitors to parks, nature reserves, protected areas and public open spaces.
Its developmental stance on the backdrop of a growing portfolio with large scale social challenges, has seen it interrogate new revenue streams and engage more meaningfully with its stakeholders - including business, residents and the media to redress disparities.
This is underpinned by strict fiscal management with two successive clean audit outcomes and various peer recognition awards, including being presented with the prestigious national Arbour City Award for the year 2019/20.
The call to ACT NOW, to address environmental concerns resonates in the National Development Plans 2030 Goals, on all levels and JCPZ has heeded the clarion call to action!
JCPZ has over the years, provided platforms for young entrepreneurs in the Inner City, rolled out Closed-circuit television (CCTV) monitored ablution facilities and secured resourced resident associations to maintain visible presence in area based parks. This alleviates the pressure on law enforcement agencies while the local security presence acts as a deterrent to opportunistic crime and provides a sense of pride and ownership to residents.
The Johannesburg Zoo's visitor numbers have increased to over 500 000 thousand a year. The facility acts as a gateway for environmental education and caters for many marginalised schools that will unlikely afford or enjoy the Big 5 experience outside Joburg.
Joburg Zoo continues to spearhead a number of breeding programmes aimed at increasing and preserving endangered species such as the rare Wattled Crane, which is one of the rarest of crane species in the world. The recent success story of Joburg Zoo's Amphibian Conservation breeding Project of the Pickersgill Reed Frog, which is on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN's) Red List of Threatened Species, was successfully bred and released into its natural habitat.
JCPZ has generated an average of over R70m in free editorial coverage, stemming from participatory and visible community activations and park development programmes.
Greening continues in new low cost housing developments such as Riverside with lined sapling trees, which will over years, grow into fully fledged tree canopies, complementing the area as well as offsetting the City's carbon footprint.
Other accolades awarded to JCPZ is the Transformation Award 2019, and six awards scooped at the 2019 South African Landscape Institute (SALI) for various park developments.
"On behalf of the City, I would like to congratulate JCPZ on being presented with such a high ranking and prestigious award. The efforts, commitment and passion of every JCPZ employee in making our City a green and liveable one, speaks to their dedication to both the environment, and to the people of Johannsburg. Well done to the team, may you continue serving our residents with pride", stated the Member of the Mayoral Committee for Community Development in the City of Joburg, Councillor Nonhlanhla Sifumba.

Arbor Month 2019: 2 000 trees planted in 2 hours in Riverside View
Arbor Month 2019: 2 000 trees planted in 2 hours in Riverside View
Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo (JCPZ) is proud of the difference it made in celebration of Arbor Day by planting 2 000 trees in 2 hours in Riverside View, Fourways, Region A.
Planting 2 000 trees in a limited time is hard physical labour and required many hands, but JCPZ employees rocked up to the site on Wednesday, 18 September 2019 and pulled it off in a great team effort.
It was extremely hot on the day and that served as motivation for the tree planters – knowing that the young trees they were planting will, in a view years' time, provide much needed shade for the Riverside View community in summer.
The trees will also change the face of Riverside View by welcoming residents and visitors to a green area where the streets are lined with trees. Not to mention other benefits trees provide, like absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen in the environment!
JCPZ thanks its employees, the community and partner Valumax for their assistance in this project, without whom the mission would not have been accomplished.
The City of Joburg kicked off Arbor Month on 1 September 2019 by accepting the Arbor City Award 2019 from the National Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries, and this mammoth project reconfirmed that Joburg is worthy of this prestigious award.
JCPZ planted a further 1 260 in different areas in Joburg during Arbor Month.
Joburg uses Arbor City win to call on residents to plant trees

Joburg uses Arbor City win to call on residents to plant trees
The City of Joburg has scooped the prestigious National Arbor City Award for 2019. The announcement was made by the Deputy Minister of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries, Ms Maggie Sotyu in Port Elizabeth on Sunday, 1 September to launch National Arbor Month in the country. The Arbor City Award with the first prize of R300K will be used to purchase seeds, saplings and trees to grow Joburg's manmade forest and to address greening disparities in the city.
The national awards have grown to become one of the most toughest competitions in the country and it is a huge honour for the City of Joburg to be presented with the award for the 4th time in its 18-year history. The award recognizes local and metropolitan cities that have excelled on all levels of sustainable development. It interrogates policies, inter-governmental planning, capital development programmes, makes comparisons with visible implementation on the ground and then assesses monitoring mechanisms-- towards the creation of vibrant, sustainable and livable cities.
The adjudicators were particularly pleased with Johannesburg City Parks and Zoos (JCPZs) handling of the Polyphagus Shothole Borer (PSHB) infestation in the City. "JCPZ saved hundreds of trees on the backdrop of calls and unending social media pressure to remove all infested trees. In the absence of proper research and an approved chemical solution to treat infested trees, JCPZ only removed dead infested trees. Many of the trees albeit infested, are not displaying symptoms of fusarium dieback at this stage", advised JCPZs Arboriculturist, Ms Adelaide Chokoe.
Chokoe, who has commenced her Ph.D focusing on the PSHB, also received an award for her outstanding contribution to greening in the City of Joburg by the Deputy Minikster of DEFF at the awards ceremony.
"To be recognized by the highest level of government is testament to the collective expertise, passion and commitment of every employee at JCPZ and within the City, who are consciously working to protect Joburg's manmade forest", stated the Member of the Mayoral Committee for Community Development in the City of Joburg, Councillor Nonhlanhla Sifumba.
Recently Rwanda, Ethiopia and India have brought together business and communities to plant millions of trees in their respective countries. The benefits of planting just one tree are far reaching. Every tree works as a natural filtration system and consists of at least 50% carbon captured from the air; acts as a conduit to foster national pride and ownership and helps creates aesthetically pleasing and economically vibrant suburbs.
It is time to restore that sense of urgency to accelerate tree planting in the City. We have an ageing tree canopy, with many species reaching its full life expectancy and as a result these trees have become more prone to opportunistic diseases and the effect of inclement weather.
Arbor month in September is therefore a vital springboard for schools, resident-associations, business, government and the media to work as an integrated unit, to get our hands dirty for a good cause, by planting trees across the City.
Every region in the City will be hosting a tree planting ceremony and JCPZ calls on all companies to offset their carbon footprint, by planting trees, as well. Please forward the number of trees, the species and the area where you will be planting, to email@example.com. For a detailed list of preferred tree species visit www.jhbcityparks.com.

Secrets abound in America, but none on the scale as those revealed in the pages of Charles Soule's "Letter 44," a series where humanity finds the stars hold not just ambition, but a threat kept hidden.
The first issue of the series published by Portland, Oregon-based Oni Press Inc. was released Wednesday. It's illustrated by Alberto Jimenez Alburquerque, colored by Guy Major, lettered by Shawn DePasquale and edited by Jill Beaton.
Soule says the new series is a measured essay on the human spirit, and the quest for knowledge knowing that there is life up there and it may not be friendly.
The story centers on President Stephen Blades who is told about the existence of an alien presence kept secret for years by his predecessor. It's in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, it's unclassifiable, it won't communicate and it may be girding for war.
From there, it's one truth after another and it changes everything for Blades as a leader, citizen, father and person.
Soule said the idea sprang forth in early 2011 about the time "when it was pretty clear that the last space shuttle mission was going to happen soon. The U.S. as a space power was going to change, dramatically."
Inspired by that change, he was walking along the beach in Cape May, New Jersey, and pondering what it would take for America, among others, to get back to the stars.
"I wanted to write the story about what we could do and, if we really need to, could we get back up there? What would be the incentive? In the 1960s, it was the Cold War and the space race," Soule said. "What could take us up there? The idea of aliens being up there, and then it all fell into place."
And so it does, with Soule's story focusing not just on Blades and the political ramifications of knowing what's up there, but also the crew of the spaceship Clarke, which is poised to make the first, human contact with whatever is there.
Soule said the pieces of both plots will come together, over the course of the series, and "everything will make sense," he says. "Even some of the weird stuff."

EEOC Consent Decree Against Retail Giant Ends Suit for Hiring Bias Against Blacks
MILWAUKEE – U.S. District Judge Rudolph T. Randa today signed a consent decree ending a lawsuit by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against Target Corporation for violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by not hiring African Americans in the retail giant's District 110 (Milwaukee and Madison, Wisc.) based on their race, and by failing to keep documents as required by law.
Under the two-and-one-half-year consent decree ending the nearly six-year old litigation (Civil Action No. 02-C-0146, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin in Feb. 2002), Target agreed to pay a total of $510,000 to Kalisha White, Ralpheal Edgeston Brown, Cherise Brown Easley, and James Daniels, Jr. – African Americans who were denied jobs as assistant store managers in 2000 and 2001. As part of the decree, Target also agreed to revise its document retention policies; provide training to supervisors on employment discrimination and record-keeping; report on hiring decisions; and post a notice about the consent decree to employees in its District 110 stores and offices.
The consent decree follows a 2006 unanimous decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago, which reversed Judge Randa's dismissal of the case and ruled that it should go to trial. The appeals court found that the EEOC had presented sufficient evidence that Target refused to hire the four African American applicants for entry-level management positions because of their race. The court also held that a trial was required on the issue of whether Target had destroyed employment applications in bad faith, and whether its changed policies with respect to retaining records were sufficient.
The appeals court's decision (EEOC v. Target Corporation, 7th Cir. No. 04-3559) was authored by Circuit Judge Richard D. Cudahy and issued on Aug. 23, 2006. James Tucker and Lorraine Davis in the EEOC Office of General Counsel in Washington represented the agency on the appeal to the Seventh Circuit.
John Rowe, director of the EEOC's Chicago District Office, said that the appeals court decision was "noteworthy for its ruling that the trial court could admit into evidence expert testimony to the effect that the employer may have racially identified the applicants as African American on the basis of their names or accents heard during telephone conversations."
EEOC Chicago Regional Attorney John Hendrickson said, "We think it's fair to count the resolution of this case as a success for all concerned. There has been an important precedent-setting decision which will be important in future challenges to race discrimination on the job. The individuals upon whose behalf the EEOC brought this particular case are going to receive fair relief, and Target is going to be able to put the case behind it and move forward with its business as an important retailer."
Dennis McBride, who led the EEOC's litigation effort in the Milwaukee Area Office added, "We're pleased that Target has agreed to resolve this case and move forward. The consent decree entered today will help ensure that all Target applicants will receive fair consideration."
On Feb. 28, 2007, EEOC Chair Naomi C. Earp launched the Commission's E-RACE Initiative (Eradicating Racism And Colorism from Employment), a national outreach, education, and enforcement campaign focusing on new and emerging race and color issues in the 21st century workplace. Further information about the E-RACE Initiative is available on the EEOC's web site at http://www.eeoc.gov/initiatives/e-race/index.html
In Fiscal Year 2006, the EEOC received 27,238 charges alleging race-based discrimination, accounting for 36 percent of the agency's private sector caseload. Historically, race-based charges have been the most frequent type of filing with EEOC offices nationwide.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information is available on the EEOC's web site, www.eeoc.gov

AMGA members are leaders in quality improvement and have developed tools and programs for improving health outcomes, lowering the cost of care, and increasing patient satisfaction. As part of AMGA's mission, we provide vehicles where we can share these best practices so others may build upon the programs and continue the quality improvement cycle.
Case Studies
AMGA encourages best practices and innovation in health care through supporting and encouraging medical groups in their efforts to improve the quality of care for patients living with chronic illnesses and organizational performance. The Compendiums features medical groups that have developed innovative and replicable programs aimed at improving the management of chronic diseases. These best practices are then disseminated to the greater community of healthcare professionals. Selected on the strength of their results, the participating medical groups have worked to create easily transferable, practice-based strategies and tools that can be applied to multiple clinical areas and conditions by any medical group.
AMGA Collaboratives are shared-learning programs that compile evidence of best practices and are designed specifically for medical organizations that are striving to improve the care of patients with chronic conditions and organizational performance. The goal of the collaboratives is to create a community of knowledge that can help participants accelerate systematic change and make lasting breakthroughs in quality patient care and service that meets or exceeds patient expectations.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo's stalemate with the fracking industry and full-on war with the nuclear industry could deny New York residents the relatively clean and cheap energy these sources can provide. Cuomo's confused decisions reflect the popular environmentalism in New York that claims hydraulic fracturing and nuclear power are bad for the environment. Our other options are far worse, however.
Cuomo is doing everything he can to shut down the Indian Point nuclear power plant, which supplies one-quarter of New York City's energy and is being considered for the renewal of its license this year. Nuclear energy produces zero greenhouse gas emissions; by reducing nuclear energy production we force an increase in carbon-intensive processes such as coal burning and increase greenhouse gas emissions.
Nuclear isn't the only domestic energy source Cuomo opposes. Natural gas, which New York has in abundance, produces half as much greenhouse gas as other fossil fuels and could reduce global warming as we decrease our dependence on coal and crude oil. The combination of nuclear power and natural gas, if supported, has the potential to provide clean, cheap energy as well as create jobs and improve the environment.
So why is Cuomo adding hydraulic fracturing to his list of things to ban in New York? Many people think hydrofracking would do irreversible damage to our environment, yet using it to increase the production of natural gas is our best alternative to coal and crude oil-economically as well as environmentally. Alternative technologies are simply not ready to replace fossil fuels entirely.
The stigma attached to fracking is misplaced. For instance, a recent op-ed in the New York Times claimed that fracking uses "5 million gallons of toxic water per well," when in reality, the average well uses 4 million gallons, 99.5 percent of which is clean water. The remaining 0.5 percent contains chemicals that occur in higher concentrations in household products such as table salt, household cleaners, cosmetics, deodorant and even ice cream. You are more likely to ingest these chemicals from getting lipstick on your teeth than from the fracking process.
Hydrofracking takes place between 4,000 and 9,000 feet below wells that supply home drinking water. Therefore, it is very unlikely that fracking fluid could contaminate home drinking wells or even aquifers. Post-fracking wastewater is either recycled and used again at another fracking site, or treated as per local regulations along with other wastewater.
Fracking also uses less space and is far easier to reclaim than coal mines. For example, the drilling needed for fracking is completed in less than one month and can supply gas for upwards of 30 years, whereas coal and crude oil extraction through processes such as mountaintop removal are a far worse use of land and are equally detrimental to the environment. Earthquake and radioactivity exposure risk are virtually non-existent with the fracking process.
Natural gas is ripe with economic benefits that New York is missing out on because of Cuomo's refusal to act. Hydraulic fracturing will create high-paying jobs that will benefit local businesses and turn struggling local economies into thriving ones. Fracking will decrease energy costs, and savings could be channeled into research and development of alternative energies such as wind and solar, which have the potential to be even cleaner future energy sources.
Environmentalists should be banging down Cuomo's door demanding that he allow fracking in New York. The energy savings could replenish the dwindling resources in alternative energy research and development while decreasing our greenhouse gas emissions and causing an eruption of jobs and economic growth across the state.
A comprehensive energy plan for New York must include both hydraulic fracturing for natural gas as well as nuclear power, yet the current state administration is failing on both points. In 2014, if Cuomo runs for re-election, my vote will be for someone who supports New York businesses and families and protects our environment. My vote will be pro-fracking.

Thinking of making a separate account for symphonies
So, I have been planning out my first symphony. I gave it the nickname "The War Symphony". It still isn't flushed out yet but I have decided to have it be a programmatic symphony with this movement structure:
First Movement:
Key: Bb major
Aspect: Battle
Form: Sonata Form
Second Movement:
Key: F minor
Aspect: Death
Form: Not decided on yet but I'm leaning towards ternary form
Third Movement:
Key: Not decided on
Aspect: Battle again
Form: Scherzo and Trio
Key: Bb major
Aspect: Victory
Form: Sonata-Rondo Form
The first movement is what I have flushed out the most out of all the movements so far in my plans so obviously, that will be the part I work on first. But I'm wondering, since I can't really afford a Pro membership(maybe a few years down the line I will be able to afford it but I can't currently), should I make a separate account to put my symphony score on once it is finished? And if so, should that account be just for my symphonies if I happen to want to compose more than 1 symphony?

Pac-12 power rankings: Stanford, Oregon legit contenders
From overlooked and underrated, to two legitimate national championship contenders and as many as 10 bowl teams. Welcome to the new Pac-12: the days of fighting off the ACC and Big East for the bottom of the BCS conferences are long gone.
How they rank
1. Stanford
2. Oregon
4. Oregon State
6. Arizona State
7. Washington
8. Arizona
9. Washington State
10. Utah
11. California
12. Colorado
MORE: SN's All-Pac-12 | Pac-12 stats that matter | Hayes on fixing the NCAA
POWER RANKINS: ACC | Big Ten | Big 12 | SEC
Three things to watch
1. The big question: how to separate Stanford and Oregon? Both return 15 starters. Both return quarterbacks, both lose elite tailbacks. Both return eight starters on offense, seven on defense. The only difference: Stanford coach David Shaw begins his third season on The Farm, and has won 23 of 27 games -- and three of the losses by a combined 14 points. Oregon has new coach -- and former offensive coordinator -- Mark Helfrich. That, and Stanford won last year's game in Eugene.
2. If you're struggling to understand the preseason love for USC, you're not alone. What we have is essentially the same team that finished last season with bad losses to UCLA, Notre Dame and Georgia Tech, rolling out this fall with a new quarterback (Max Wittek and/or Cody Kessler) replacing a four-year starter (Matt Barkley) who carried the team last year -- and the same team with the same depth issues and too many young players at critical spots.
3. Arizona State has been a hot team this offseason, a sleeper of sorts who finished last year with three wins and returns efficient quarterback Taylor Kelly. Now look at this reality: after beginning this season with a game against FCS Sacramento State, ASU has consecutive games against Wisconsin, at Stanford, USC and Notre Dame in Arlington, Texas.

Libya: Risk Assessment
Country Risk Rating
Business Climate Rating
- Large gas and oil reserves
- Very low level of external debt
- Strategic location on the Mediterranean near Europe
- Country split in two: the west is well governed by the Tripoli government recognized by the international community, the east is controlled by the government in Al-Beïda supported by Field Marshal Haftar.
- The south of the country is suffering a proliferation in trafficking (human, weapons, drugs)
- High inflation
- Social tensions, political and tribal fragmentation
- Adverse business climate
Current Trends
Recovery in Oil and Gas Production
The expansion in activity is mainly due to the increase in oil and gas production following the securing of the oil fields in the west and the reopening of a number of production facilities such as Sharara. Oil and gas production reached its highest level since 2014, with the 1 million barrels a day mark being reached in 2017. The country is the subject of a preferential agreement within OPEC that allows it to increase its production outside the quotas. Despite the obsolescence and the destruction of some of its infrastructures, Libyan production is expected to continue in 2018 at a similar level to that of last year. Although foreign companies are cautiously showing signs of being ready to return, the ever-present security problems risk slowing any such trend meaning that the FDI flows will remain very limited unless the political situation is settled and peace restored to the country. In addition, the non-oil and gas economy continues to suffer from shortages of resources and the ongoing security issues. Problems with replenishment, foreign currencies shortage, and the black market have resulted in high prices, exacerbated by the removal of food subsidies. Inflation, however, is expected to stabilize. The growth in oil and gas exports will help reduce the currencies shortage. Two central banks operate and implement parallel policies, one in Tobruk linked with the National Union government, the other based in Al-Beïda. Closer links between the various protagonists and the scale of deterioration of the economic fundamentals is probably likely to encourage a reunification agreement between the two bodies. The pegging of the Libyan dinar to the SDR rate is expected to continue but a devaluation of the currency is planned by the Tobruk central Bank. The recovery in the oil and gas sector should, however, have positive knock-on effects for the non-oil and gas sector.
Huge Twin Deficits
The decline in oil and gas exports severely disrupted the economic balance within the country and created a public deficit and a current account deficit. The restarting of oil and gas production should help the gradual elimination of the deficits in the medium term but this will remain dependent on finding a settlement to the political crisis and the measures to follow this. Although they were higher in 2017, budget revenues cannot cover the major structural expenditure. The wage bill in effect accounts for 33% of GDP, on top of which there are the costs associated with the energy subsidies. In addition, given that Libya imports 80% of its domestic consumption, the growth in exports will not make it possible to offset the large trade deficit.
Unending Libyan Crisis
After a number of unfruitful mediation attempts under aegis of the United Nations, the Libyan crisis again seems to have entered another impasse. Undermined by the political discord arising in the post-Gaddafi transition, Libya is a divided country, split between lawless regions, areas under the control of tribal allegiances and a range of militias. The progress made with the Skhirat agreement signed in Morocco in December 2015 which led to the establishment of a transition government, has not produced a way out of the crisis. The legitimacy of the government led by Faïez Sarraj is disputed by that of Al-Beïda supported by Field Marshal Haftar. Whilst the former is recognized by the international community, the latter whose major supporter is a Field Marshal and head of the Libyan Liberation Army, retains military control of Cyrenaica (east). Following a number of discussions between the two parties during 2017, the appointment of a new United Nations emissary, Ghassan Salamé, presents one possible route towards a solution. The task is, to say the least, a difficult one but the objective of the Libya plan as submitted by Mr. Salamé will be to revise the Skhirat agreement so as to find areas of potential compromise between the two key factions. There are thus three core components to the plan: the creation of a constitution approved in a referendum, the holding of elections and a process of national reconciliation similar to that carried out in Tunisia. The Special Envoy could also reintegrate Libyan institutions such as the Central Bank, split in two. In December 2017, the HNEC, the Libyan Electoral Commission, launched the electoral list registration process for elections in 2018. The challenge for this election process will be for it to be accepted by all the parties involved in the crisis: the two governments in Tripoli and Al-Beïda, as well as former Gaddafists and Royalists. For the UN mediator, this requires a prior agreement by the key parties to accept the results of the vote, failing which no consensus can be achieved following the elections. This has become all the more pressing as the Libyan question has returned to the international agenda with the revelations around the trafficking of Sub-Saharan migrants in the region in 2017. The African Union, with the support of the European Union and the United Nations, is working jointly with the IOM, the International Organization for Migration, to implement a plan for the evacuation and repatriation of Sub-Saharan migrants to their home countries.

I've never been a big fan of Valentine's Day–whether I've been single or attached. Every year the increasing levels of over-the-top commercialization bug me. I tend to ignore the ads for Valentine's events going on around town, like the overpriced, set-menu candlelit dinners every restaurant seems to offer nowadays.
But this week one Valentine's Day event did catch my eye. A Jewish Community Center in New York is holding an anti-Valentine's event for every woman out there who's ever been two-timed or unceremoniously dumped and wants to release some frustrations on the day when it seems like everyone else is blissfully in love.
Participants at the Mend Your Broken Heart event at the Alan Bernikow Jewish Community Center on Staten Island can bring a photo of their no-good ex into the fitness center and have it mounted on a punching bag so they can work out their aggressions. During the workout, a DJ will play songs that probably don't have a place on Cupid's iPod, such as Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name."
I'm not sure this event will actually mend anyone's heart, but it's a funny and clever gimmick, and I'm sure the local media attention it's gotten will attract lots of groups of girlfriends who just want to go someplace that's not festooned with paper hearts to have a laugh and try to feel a little bit better about a bad experience.
But although the event is obviously meant to be tongue-in-cheek, what I like most about it is that the JCC also is using the opportunity to highlight more serious matters. In addition to having plenty of trainers on hand to make sure the participants have a fun workout that gets their heart rates up, the JCC is tying the event to American Heart Month, which raises awareness of heart disease, the leading cause of death for American women. During the free event (which is open to both members and nonmembers), donations will be collected for the American Heart Association.
Come to think of it, maybe I was wrong. A fun evening that gets people feeling good, getting fit and thinking about their health while raising money for cardiovascular disease research and education may just mend some hearts after all.

NBC might be adding a bit more supernatural drama to its 2013-2014 television slate. This week, the network ordered a pilot adapting Oni Press's acclaimed comic book series The Sixth Gun. Soon we may be seeing Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt's tale of ghouls and guns in the Old West on the small screen.
Deadline announced that NBC ordered a slew of pilots this week, including The Sixth Gun. Lost's Carleton Cuse will be co-producing the pilot, along with scriptwriter Ryan Condal and Oni's sister company, Closed on Mondays Entertainment.
The Sixth Gun is set after the American Civil War and centers on six mystical guns, each tethered to a single wielder for the wielder's entire life. Each gun imbues its wielder with a specific dark, mystical power, and the sixth gun, which has been missing from the world for quite some time, is considered the most powerful. When the sixth gun resurfaces in the hands of Becky Montcrief, an innocent young woman, she becomes a target for dangerous forces intent on taking control of the gun, including one man intent on reuniting all six guns. You can read the entire first issue over at ComicsAlliance.
Of course, a pilot order is no guarantee of a series, but there's plenty of rich visual and narrative territory in The Sixth Gun that would make for great TV.

Not on Exhibit
Animal Facts
Scientific Name
Carcharhinus galapagensis
Animal Type
bottom-dwelling rays, bony fishes, crustaceans and octopuses
to 12 feet (3.7 m) and 189 pounds (85.5 kg)
bull, tiger, blue, and oceanic white-tip sharks; Family: Carcharhinidae (requiem sharks)
circumtropical, usually around oceanic islands
Natural History
Sharks come in many different shapes and sizes, but people are most familiar with the classic look of a Galapagos shark. Its body is solid, large and torpedo shaped—an efficient form for swimming. Dark gray above and lighter below, the Galapagos shark has no distinctive markings except for a ridge that runs between its dorsal (back) fins. If threatened by a predator or competitor, the shark arches its back, lowers its pectoral (side) fins and swims in figure-eight loops. If the intruder doesn't heed this display, the Galapagos shark will chase and attack the intruder. Although Galapagos sharks are considered dangerous, they rarely attack humans.
Sharks are often misunderstood; they're not maniacal eating machines, eager to devour anything or everything in their path. Only about 30 of the approximately 501 species of sharks are dangerous, and even these rarely attack humans. People, however, are responsible for the death of 11,400 sharks every hour, every day. Since sharks grow slowly, breed late in life and generally bear few young, the populations of many species of sharks are declining dramatically. Without more regulations, many species will become extinct.
Cool Facts
This shark bears live young. The embryos receive nourishment from a placentalike attachment to the mother's uterine wall.
A shark's nose is superbly sensitive to some odors. It can detect blood in a concentration of only one part per million—the same as one teaspoon of blood in an average-size swimming pool.
Galapagos sharks are curious; they often gather around and bump into boats, oars, divers or anything else that seems to take their fancy.
To rid its stomach of an indigestible object, a shark pushes its stomach out through its mouth, expels the object and then pulls its stomach back into its proper place.
The man who first identified this shark named it after the Galapagos Islands, where he observed the sharks swimming in offshore waters.

Managing Director & Senior Partner, New Delhi
At BCG, Visionaries navigate complexity with ease. They use their insight and intuition to identify the solutions that will create lasting impact. Rajiv empowers and inspires others.
There are basically two requirements to succeed at BCG—not necessarily mutually exclusive but completely exhaustive: deliver great insight and value to your clients and deliver great working experience and constructive challenges to your team. The rest takes care of itself!
I am spending my days (and nights!) thinking about various ways in which technology (digital and otherwise) can be unleashed for my clients. I have worked in technology transformation for most of my 19 years in consulting, but the new technologies and the passion of client senior execs to pursue them have brought about almost a new wave of curiosity and learning for me.
BCG has been a truly fungible, entrepreneurial place for me. Although I am the "node" for the Technology Advantage practice in India, I also have had the freedom to pursue client work that I am keen on, or potentially good at. That is the beauty—nobody really leads anything and there is nothing hierarchical about the organization. It is a rather collegiate environment. People work on exciting cases, share their experiences and knowledge, and love intellectual sparring. This is something that really provides the energy and dulls the pain of incessant 6 AM flights!
Rajiv holds an MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A), and a bachelor of technology (electronics and electrical) from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT-K). He has spent the last 19 years working on large technology transformation programs in the UK and Europe, the US, South Africa, and now India and the APAC region.
Q: Why did you choose to work at BCG?
A: No other place would have given me an opportunity to have access to all the leading business people I would like to work with in order to solve intellectually challenging problems that really stretch me, and work with brilliant individuals who are very unassuming and humble.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love the intellectual challenges we are tasked with solving for clients that are truly making a difference in our lives and with stakeholders who are truly C-suite and decision makers, and I like working with the most intelligent and hardworking individuals.
Q: What's the biggest impact you have had with your work?
A: We prepared a dashboard and a "what if" analysis and created a related app for a global travel company, well before the wave of analytics had swept the world. The board of that company used this to react to the ash cloud crisis that followed the Icelandic volcano eruption and were able to take action on their assets within hours, saving millions of dollars and significantly outperforming their peers that year.

In Chicago, right before the NHL trade deadline, Matt Keator and Avalanche executive Joe Sakic came to an agreement. Not for a new contract for Keator's client, Paul Stastny, but to agree to talk about one later, after the season.
The Avalanche's season ended Wednesday, and already the speculation is starting. Will Stastny remain with the Avs beyond July 1? Or is he a goner to the free-agent market? We should know soon.
In comments to my colleague Mark Kiszla the day before Game 7 against the Minnesota Wild, Stastny acknowledged that he went into this season lukewarm on playing in Denver beyond it. If the team was good, he wouldn't mind staying. If it wasn't, he probably was out of here.
The team was good, and Stastny was a big reason. He had, by the estimation of many, his best all-around season — with 60 points (25 goals) and a plus-9 rating in 71 games. He played against the top centers most of the time and did a good job defensively. He had good numbers in the advanced statistics category of Corsi, which measures shots taken while a player is on the ice, for and against.
In the playoff series against Minnesota, Stastny led the Avalanche with five goals and tied Nathan MacKinnon for the team lead with 10 points. He scored an overtime winner — and would have had the winner in Game 7 if the Avs could have held the 3-2 lead Stastny gave them in the third period.
The NHL salary cap is increasing from $64.3 million to probably from $69 million to $70 million. Teams — including the Avalanche, which has 17 players signed for next season at $45.1 million — will have more money to spend. The Avs have some important players who can be restricted free agents they need to keep — Ryan O'Reilly, Jamie McGinn and Tyson Barrie. Those three might cost $10 million to re-sign, but that would still leave plenty of room to make a good offer to Stastny.
The Avs should try hard to bring him back. Before the season, I wasn't sold on that. I think the Avs overpaid for him the past five years for what they received, but he redeemed himself with a strong season. Yes, I know it was in a contract year.
If Stastny stays, the Avalanche can have a killer line with him, Gabe Landeskog and MacKinnon. Matt Duchene can stay the other top center, and John Mitchell is a great third-line center.
If Stastny goes, MacKinnon and Duchene can be the top two up the middle, and there would be nothing wrong with that. But losing Stastny wouldn't be good, no matter how you look at it. The Avs would have 60 points taken out of their lineup, and the free-agent market looks slim. Stastny might become the biggest name out there this summer, if he declares himself free.
Stastny probably could get an offer of $7 million per year from some team. But I don't think the Avs want to go that high. They paid him $6.6 million per year for the past five — and got exactly one playoff series victory out of it (2008 against Minnesota).
The Avs explored trading him at the deadline, but this was a bad year for rental trades. Teams just didn't want to give up anything more than a second-round pick and maybe another marginal prospect or two. The Avs decided to keep him, hoping to make a big playoff run and talk about a new deal during the summer.
The playoff run didn't happen, and now it's possible the Avs could lose him for nothing. If that happens, it can't be spun as anything but a negative development.
Stastny holds the cards in this, which was the risk Sakic took. Stastny can just say no to any offer and take a potentially richer offer. It will be interesting to see what happens.
Waiting to put things off carried risk for both sides, but right now Stastny seems to have the upper hand.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Court Awards $56,500 to Employee Terminated for Bipolar Disorder
SEATTLE – Today the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced a victory in one of its first disability discrimination lawsuits taken to trial concerning bipolar disorder. Following a four-day bench trial, a federal district court entered judgment for $56,500 against Irving, Tex.-based Cottonwood Financial. The court found that the company violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD) when it fired an employee from its Walla Walla, Wash., store.
After hearing the evidence presented at trial in EEOC v. Cottonwood Financial, Ltd. (No. CV-09-5073-EFS, E. D. Wash.), U.S. District Judge Edward F. Shea noted "Cottonwood's deficient ADA policies and practices" and found that the company's half-dozen different rationales for terminating store manager Sean Reilly were a pretext for discrimination and that the company had in fact fired Reilly because it regarded him as too disabled to work due to his bipolar disorder.
The court also commended Reilly's efforts to cope with his disability, achieve academic success and get a job. Reilly was an honor student in high school who attended college in Portland, Ore. on an academic scholarship. While in college, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. When his symptoms forced him to leave school, he returned home to Walla Walla and found employment at Cottonwood, which does business as The Cash Store.
Hired as an assistant manager in June 2006, Reilly was swiftly promoted to store manager in October and received an award for the success of his store in November 2006. However, in late January 2007, Reilly, through a health care representative, requested a short leave to adjust to new medication prescribed by his doctor to treat his condition. Reilly alleged that the company denied this request, forcing him to return to work too soon. The Cash Store fired Reilly in February 2007 – just days after his need for sick leave first arose.
The ADA and WLAD outlaw firing an employee due to disability and prohibit adverse employment decisions motivated, even in part, by ill will toward an employee's real or perceived disability or request for an accommodation. After first trying to reach a voluntary settlement with Cottonwood through the EEOC's conciliation process, the agency filed suit and was joined by Reilly, through his private counsel, Keller W. Allen of Spokane.
Judge Shea found that The Cash Store broke the law by firing Reilly and awarded him $6,500 in back wages and $50,000 for emotional pain and suffering. The court also issued a three-year injunction, requiring The Cash Store to train its managers and human resources personnel on anti-discrimination and anti-retaliation laws.
After the final order was announced, Reilly said, "It felt as if several years of emotional damage had suddenly been healed. After my diagnosis, I really challenged myself to beat the odds and do well at work. To have my disability outweigh my performance in my employer's eyes was crushing."
Reilly continued, "This case was never about money or any sort of payback -- it was always about doing the right thing to help protect the rights of people with disabilities. I hope this verdict enables other people with bipolar disorder to have an equal chance at obtaining and maintaining successful and fulfilling careers and to prevent future discrimination. It makes me very happy and proud to know that justice prevailed in this case."
William Tamayo, the EEOC's regional attorney in San Francisco, said, "The court sent an important message today that employers can't substitute fiction for facts when making employment decisions about disabled workers. Employers acting on outdated myths and fears about disabilities need to know that the EEOC will not shy away from taking ADA cases to trial to bring them into the 21st century."
Tamayo recognized EEOC Supervisory Trial Attorney John Stanley for overseeing the litigation, Senior Trial Attorneys Damien Lee and Jamal Whitehead for representing the EEOC at trial, and Investigator Annalie Greer for investigating the case allegations.
Reilly's private counsel Keller Allen added, "The court saw through the multiple and changing excuses offered by Cottonwood for firing Sean Reilly. This is a well-deserved victory for a hard-working individual who refused to allow his disability to be used to set a limit on his achievements."
According to its website, www.cashstore.com, Cottonwood Financial owns and operates payday lending stores in over a half-dozen states and maintains over 500 employees.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Is anyone following that? I downloaded ep1 not long ago and was really surprised to see that the anime-art was gorgeous! It resembles the manga-art a lot XD Anyway I'm really satisfied with the art so I'll be following this series all right ^______^ *unlike Princess Princess anime* It seems really funny XD
Lunar-anime is currently fansubbing it!
More info about this anime here:
_________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
The second episode came out 2 days ago.
It's one of those manga turn anime that didn't actually disappoint me.
Although other ppl were commenting that the anime change certain
thing and are not quite happy, I am OK with it.
I think the light bulb concept in the #1 episode really creative... I didn't
get the joke at first. What do you think ?
Yeah I know! I'm usually sceptical about those manga-turn-anime... mostly it's the purly anime ones that are really good. Also I'm usually even more sceptical when it comes to SHOUJO manga-turn-anime~~ Aishiteruze Baby anime was a disappointment in my eyes and I wasn't impressed by Ultra Maniac either.
A little bit of change in details can't be helped As long as the anime art is good then I'm all for it ^^ *very picky about that*
I think the light bulb concept in the #1 episode really creative... I didn't get the joke at first. What do you think ?
Yeah I know~~ I didn't quite get it at first either... it was first when the last light bulb lit that I understood what it was all about ^^_________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
I think the light bulb concept in the #1 episode really creative... I didn't get the joke at first. What do you think ?
I usually dislike seeing anime of what I've read the manga of, but with Ouran High School Host Club I didn't. I could re-read every chapter of the manga and never got tired by it, with this anime I could probably do the same which each episode. I really like the anime versions art of the cast.. ^_^
Although I did get a different vibe of the personality of the characters, the 'king' didn't seem so weird, Haruhi wasn't really aloof as I thought of in the manga
and she didn't seem convincing as unaware of her gender. By just saying: 'Oh, I'm just not as aware of my gender like others.'
And I'm getting Fruits Basket-nostalgia from hearing 'Dear mother..' at the beginning of the episode...
But maybe I'm just over analyzing stuff. ._.
I really liked the lightbulb-thing, I didn't get it at first too but I didn't think much of it til the last bulb lighted. ^^;
I didn't read the manga but this anime is definitely watchable and fun. *goes to download the manga of it*____________________________
Photoshop rots your eyes.
i LOVE the manga! it's one of the few that can really make me laugh (PGE being the top now)! i'm glad that it's popular enough to be made an anime now, but since the manga is anywhere near the end, i suspect this anime is going to end badly like other manga-turned-anime. so sad, but i'll still get it for novelty sake
This is my new fav anime right now^^ It's so funny and is really well done to the manga. I didn't get the lightbulb thing till the very last one too...^^;;
The music is quite nice too. But people say there's too much pink in the anime o.O
And theis anime would probably have a bad ending as most good anime do =_= Like furaba which the ending was soo disapointing T_T
I would like to thank you guys becoz i just started reading host club and i love it! Its definitely a manga worth reading. <Salute everyone who posted here>
Hahaha, did anyone watch ep 4 yet? XD So HILARIOUS XD
The twin+cookie thing on Haurhi and Tamaki's reaction~~
_________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
Yup the cookie+twin scenes and tamaki reaction is sure funny.
However my best moment was
Renge was having tea with her father in Paris (Eiffle tower in the background). The moment she saw the picture, she declared that she's
going to going to get married to that guy, within a second she packed and
take a flight off to Japan (you will see the plane taking off in the background). All this happened within a few second before the father
recovered from the shock of the announcement. When he realized,
the plane is flying off ald.
I like this part. It's sooo hilarious... something that's not going
to happen in real life. Too bad.
who's the fansub. Anyone know where i can get it?
loooooooooool ..
i love this anime ..
so funny .. hilarious
and the hcharacters drawings are pretty ..
and i loved th backgrounds ..
who's the fansub. Anyone know where i can get it?
who's the fansub. Anyone know where i can get it?
Thx for the info riku. Btw i delete one of ur double post (just incase ur wondering where it flew off).
just watched episode 5! i didn't think the series could be funnier- but i was wrong - this is the funniest one yet My favorite character is Nekozawa-sempai and his evil "voodoo" doll

tamaki really had wild imagination!! he actually imagined
that the twins trick haruhi into posing naked just for ootori <how to spell ??>

A Hard Day's Night
The first song on side two of A Hard Day's Night, Any Time At All was written by John Lennon and recorded during the final session for the album.
An effort at writing It Won't Be Long – same ilk: C to A minor, C to A minor – with me shouting.
All We Are Saying, David Sheff
On 8 April 1988 John Lennon's handwritten lyrics for Any Time At All were sold for £6,000 at an auction held at Sotheby's in London.
In the studio
Any Time At All was in an unfinished state when John Lennon brought it to the studio on the afternoon of 2 June 1964. The Beatles initially recorded seven takes of the rhythm track, plus vocals by Lennon.
The group moved on to record Things We Said Today and When I Get Home before returning to Any Time At All from 7-10pm.
That evening they recorded four further takes. Onto the last of these, take 11, they overdubbed piano, guitar and vocals. It was first mixed for mono on 4 June, but this was discarded and new mono and stereo mixes were made on 22 June.
Any Time At All's last-minute composition meant that The Beatles never got around to writing lyrics for the middle eight. McCartney suggested a set of piano chords, to which they intended to add lyrics but failed to write any. The deadline for the album's final mixes meant it went on release in its unintended state.
