COSATU President Sidumo Dlaminis address to SACCAWUs 10th National Congress, St George Hotel, Tshwane
18 October 2011
National Office Bearers of SACCAWU
Comrades and Friends
It is an honour to be invited to address this Workers Parliament of SACCAWU on behalf of COSATUs National Office Bearers and 2 million plus members. I bring our greetings and best wishes for a very successful Congress.
Your union has a proud record of defending and advancing the interests of a section of the working class which has for years suffered severely from exploitation, low pay, casualisation, anti-social hours and abusive and racist bosses.
If anyone needs proof that we need our Living Wage Campaign, they need look no further than the shops where your members are expected to work with a smile for long hours, struggle to get home safely late at night and all for poverty pay.
On the other hand your employers have good reason to smile. In no other sector is the gulf between the living standards of the workers and their employers as massive. Last year Shoprite CEO Whitey Basson took home the highest-ever monthly earnings ever recorded in a single year an unbelievable R627.53 million in salary, perks and share options.
In 2008 Bassons total remuneration was R16.64 million and R24.13 million in 2009, so his 2010 income represented an increase of 2501% over two years. Im sure that your members at Shoprite and Checkers will take note of that figure when they submit their next wage claim.
In 2011 the salary of Pick n Pay CEO, Nick Badminton, is currently estimated at R3.54 million, excluding perks. The average worker at Pick n Pay earns R45 600 per year, so it would take such a worker 78 years to earn what the CEO will make this year.
SACCAWU will be in the national spotlight on Thursday, when you appeal against the decision of the Competition Tribunal to approve the Massmart-Walmart merger. This is a crucial battle, not just for your own members and the retail sector, but for every worker and for the future of the South African economy.
The Competition Act requires the Tribunal to consider the competition and public interest effects of a proposed merger - whether it promotes employment and advances the social and economic welfare of South Africans - and not just the narrow interests of the firms who intend to merge. It did not do so.
COSATU insists that the application needs to be judged against the background of the job-loss bloodbath which has hit the country in recent years. Unemployment today stands at 36, 6%, greater than any other middle-income country or any comparable economy.
COSATU fully agrees with the three government ministers who are calling for a review of the Tribunals ruling that the Walmart acquisition of Massmart can have a potentially devastating effect on local jobs and the transaction should be sent back to the Competition Tribunal for a proper consideration and more effective conditions to be imposed.
The Competition Tribunal should have weighed the supposed value of Walmarts investment in South Africa against its foreseeable adverse impact on jobs and conditions, not only in the retail sector but also in manufacturing and other sectors that feed into the supply chain to Massmart such as agriculture, agro-processing, chemicals, clothing and textiles.
There is no evidence for Walmarts claim in the Tribunal that it would create 15 000 retail jobs in the next three years. And any such jobs could be more than cancelled out by the tens of thousands of jobs that could be lost in other local retailers and the local factories that currently supply Massmart.
Local employers in the retail sector are already beginning to attack workers, as they reposition themselves for Walmarts arrival. It cannot be pure coincidence that Pick n Pay announced plans to retrench over 3000 workers and we are committed to support your fight to save those jobs and any others that are in jeopardy.
Given Walmarts documented track record of paying low wages to its workers, you are right to be concerned that, after the short period in which they have promised to uphold existing negotiated agreements ends, Massmarts workforce will suffer even further downward variation of its terms of employment, as Walmart pressures the local subsidiary to cut costs and extract greater productivity.
It is not just jobs in the retail sector that are at risk. This deal could have a devastating effect too on South Africas already declining manufacturing sector, which needs to be the mainstay of our economy and new growth path.
Our economy has become even more over-dependent on the export of raw materials, while importing more and more manufactured goods.
This is dramatically revealed by disturbing statistics from the Economic Development Department, which reveal that South Africas top ten exports to China are: iron ore, platinum, ferrochrome, chromium ores, manganese ores, coal, diamonds, semi-manufactured platinum, nickel and zinconium ores, while its top ten imports are: laptops, shoes, cellphones, suitcases, telephones, TV sets, mens cotton trousers, womens cotton trousers, video machines, pullover and cardigans.
Sectors such as clothing and textiles, electrical machinery and durable goods have been hard hit by imports. And they are all likely to be further affected by the Walmart deal.
Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Tina Joemat-Pettersson has revealed that already, olive farmers in some parts of the country have been advised that they should no longer expect orders from Makro [a subsidiary of Massmart] for locally-produced olive oil, as they intend to import cheaper products. As she says, If unchecked, the shift to imports is likely to have a catastrophic effect on local farmers and agro-processing manufacturers.
As a giant in the retail sector, Walmart bullies farmers, manufacturers, distributors and suppliers to push down their prices. This has led to the collapse of many small and sometimes even big businesses.
We utterly reject the absurd statement of the Democratic Alliance which attacks the ministers on the basis that the real loser here is much needed competition in the retail space. Walmarts track record around the world shows that they destroy competition by abusing their vast size to drive rival companies out of business and create a virtual monopoly.
A study conducted by UNI Global Union, representing 20 million workers in the retail sector worldwide, reveals that every retail company operating within a five-kilometre radius from a Walmart stores have simply closed business.
In South Africa this wont just mean a threat to the future of big retail shops such as Shoprite and Pick n Pay but all SMMEs. Retail shops owned by emerging black entrepreneurs will simply disappear. Already small shops operating in the townships that used to be owned by blacks have been taken over by foreign nationals.
The DA claims that the Walmart invasion is a massive vote of confidence in South Africa as a gateway to the rest of the continent! On the contrary, it is a declaration of intent to pillage the continent of its resources, exploit cheap labour and establish a stranglehold over the retail sector throughout Africa just as they have elsewhere in the world, which in turn has led to the worst forms of exploitation of women and children in developing countries, where suppliers had to drive down their own costs to make a profit.
UNI Global Union confirms that Walmart is well known for its strong anti-union attitude and its ruthless approach to keeping down wages. Its induction training devotes as much time telling workers how bad unions are as on training them on health and safety. Where workers do get organised, as in the US and Canada, it simply closes down the store or department.
Walmart has refused to sign a global agreement with UNI Global Union to set fair standards for worker and union rights to organise and negotiate collective agreements. It faces numerous class action law suits, affecting hundreds of thousands of workers for, among other things, not paying overtime, gender, racial and other forms of discrimination. They are not wanted here in South Africa!
The Central Committee in June committed us to fight for the full and speedy realisation of the goals of the National Democratic Revolution and to spare no effort to ensure that we play a decisive role to resolve the three interrelated contradictions - national oppression of the majority by a small racist minority, the super-exploitation of workers and the triple oppression faced by women, as a basis of creating a new non-racial, non-sexist, democratic and prosperous South Africa.
We are busy mobilising for the mother of all battles to advance our struggle for a living wage and a decent life for workers and the poor. We shall be taking to the streets in our thousands to demand a living wage, an end to casualisation and a total ban of the labour brokers those human traffickers who have enslaved millions of workers.
We are also beefing up our campaign against the scourge of corruption to root out the corrupt elements that are hell-bent on hijacking our movements for personal gain. We must hunt down culprits, regardless of their political affiliations or political and economic connections.
The politics of patronage, corruption and greed has destroyed the ethic of self-sacrifice and service to the people that characterises the revolutionary movement. The dangerous growth of factionalism is increasingly not about ideology or political differences, but about access to tenders.
The worst problem of all is the emergence of death squads in several provinces linked to corruption and the murder of people who have blown the whistle. There is a real danger that if all this continues, the entire state and society will be auctioned to the highest bidder, and we shall be on the slide towards a corrupt banana republic.
COSATU is setting up its Corruption Watch, which will be launched in December 2011. It is a concrete way for us to play an active part in the battle against this scourge.
These are the other big campaigns we shall be waging in the coming weeks:
- To demand action to ensure that our country has water security and we deal with the threat of rising acid levels in our underground water.
- To call for an inquiry on the prices of the private hospitals so that we end their immoral and corrupting greed, seeking to generate massive profits from our ill health, and the speedy introduction of the national health insurance.
- To oppose the commercialisation of our roads and reject the introduction of tollgates in Gauteng and other elitist projects such as Gautrain when many workers take up to an hour travelling between their homes and their workplaces. Unless we can find a solution with the department of transport, we shall be in the streets to demand public transport system that is efficient, reliable, affordable and accessible.
- Lastly and most importantly to demand decent work for the 7-million strong army of the unemployed workers, and the restructuring of the economy to end the domination of white monopoly capital, the mining/finance complex, and its export orientation so that it can be placed on a new developmental path underpinned by an active industrial strategy capable of absorbing the millions who are unemployed.
I am confident that SACCAWU members will as always one of the biggest contingents in the marches and pickets which we shall be organising around these campaigns. Never has the slogan An injury to one is an injury to all been more relevant.
We face unprecedented attacks from the employers, who are desperately trying to cut wages through such devices as a youth wage subsidy or lower wages for new entrants. They continue to casualise jobs and demand the weakening of the labour laws. We will not let them get away with any of this. Decent work and a living wage are not negotiable; they are necessities!
I wish you a highly successful congress.

People tend to keep certain cards quite close to their vest, whether to the best or worse. These are cards we don't share for different reasons, but mostly because we feel they would do more damage than good. But it is so? What motivate us to keep for ourselves negative opinions or believes we have of others, instead of sharing them and clearing the air between us?
There's this group of people where everybody is really friendly towards each other. I've always assumed they were really good friends, and on the surface it looked so. However, as I've got to know them better, often having conversations on a one-on-one basis, it turned out that none of them really liked the others, always having rather important objections about the rest. Curiously, all of them resented the others because they felt all the others imposed on them, minimized their jobs, all of them assumed the others thought in a negative manner of them, an often they thought the others lied or made up excuses to get out of some commitments, tasks or so. So why they kept meeting and making plans together?
Perhaps sometimes we feel it's strategic to remain in the supposed good graces of others, maybe because we don't want to lose our belonging to a given group, specially if being alone in a given environment means we would be exposed to harsh conditions, or because belonging to a given group mean we have access to benefits we otherwise won't have, or just because we've been in a given group so long that we don't want to be without them anymore. In these cases, perhaps, we make a pro-con analysis and we come up with the decision that we are better if we continue suffering the bad because the good is better. We convince ourselves that we are making a commitment by bravely enduring what bothers us of others. But are these analysis always correct? Are we really making the measurement, or are we pondering with already a result decided and fixing our measurements in order to fit that measurement?
I think that often that's what we do, and in some occasions - specially when we talk about relationships - our actual friends do tell us about the shitty situation we are in, and yet we convince ourselves that still, things are not as bleak as our friends tell us. Even though they are.
The thing is that separation, breakup, is hard. It's always hard, no matter how much you prepare for it. We are willing to put up with a lot of things that only fuel our further accumulated, unreleased, unspoken resentment because truth it that we are not brave enough to walk away from a sickening situation. We seek validation in others, try to convince ourselves that though something is already insufferable for us, if others see it as something manageable, then we should manage it too. But if you are the one living and suffering a given situation, shouldn't you empower yourself to put a stop on it?
There's a magical measure we should always keep in sight: if you catch yourself always complaining about something or someone, then it's time to take that something or someone out of your life. Hard as it is, but nothing and no one is worthy of sacrificing your happiness so you won't be alone or you could reap benefits you won't even enjoy.
Yes, it's hard, and it goes out for everything: your family, your relationships, your job, your projects, your hobbies, your friends... Some of them would be harder for us, some of them maybe easier, but none of them would be painless. That's the true bravely, not pulling up with shit because we "don't walk away from hardship" or "you are not a quitter" or "maybe it would change". Walking away is a form of hardship, which you face in order to make things better. Quitting something that no longer works doesn't make you a quitter, because you are not quitting yourself, you are not quitting your happiness, you are not quitting your integrity: you are standing next to it.
You can change yourself, but you can't expect others to change for you. And you also have to be realistic with yourself: there are things of yourself you can change, but there are things you can't or shouldn't, because they are who you are. No one should ever renounce for anyone or anything to those things that make them who they are. There's no job, no relationship, no family member, no group, no "opportunity" worth denying who you are and what you believe in. No commitment should ever be made on the grounds of sacrificing those features that make up your personality. Commitments should always be respectful of your core elements.
No, we can't live without hidden resentments, I believe. When I started working in the public sector, way back in 2001, I learned that hypocrisy is an important element of the working environment. Little by little I learned to halt my natural tendency to be brutally sincere, and learned to lie, or hide the truth as much as I could, in order to get on with the program. The six months I spent in Hungary in 2012 put me back to my factory setting, and unable to be hypocritical, life at the office became quite hard. In these years that have passed, I began reclaiming those old acquired skills, slowly re-learning the obscure art of pretending to be pleased and pleasant while wishing people dead. I'm far, I know, from the master level of being able to be friendly and pleasant while stabbing people on the back - skill I don't think I'll ever be able to master - but as I walk down the path of this necessary evil, I realize hidden resentments lurk in a dark place of our souls, and they are not good for us. We choose to live with them, for whatever reason we have, but as they rot our spirits, shouldn't we, at least, try and hold as few of them as possible?
Last week the dams opened for me, and I let out resentments I had been holding in my chest for many years. This week - today, actually - they were talked over and a door closed behind me. I won't lie, it was damned hard because with this admission, with this releasing I released also something very, very precious in my life. I'm mourning a sensible loss now. Tomorrow, to mark this change in my life and perhaps find a symbolic milestone, I'll cut my hair. I still don't know how much, how short, but I want to have this symbol, to remind myself now that life goes on just like hair keeps growing, and that this is a new chapter in my life, a new begining and that chances are there for the taking. The loss will be felt, fuck, I'm not made of ice and stone, no matter how much I wish I were, but must keep my head held up high and keep on.

When a great artist from one decade returns to action in another, the best that can usually be hoped for is a reasonable approximation of the old brilliance.
Prince's comeback tour last year may have been wonderful, but he still wasn't the man with the breathtaking creativity of his "Dirty Mind"/"Purple Rain" days.
What made Trent Reznor's comeback performance Sunday night at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival such a triumph was that Reznor didn't just recapture the '90s spark that placed him alongside the late Kurt Cobain as the premier rock voices of their generation.
Playing on the main stage in the closing hours of the weekend festival, which drew about 50,000 fans each day, the muscular Reznor was even more compelling than before.
On a crowded bill with such fast-rising critical favorites as the Arcade Fire and Bright Eyes, Reznor's band, Nine Inch Nails, played with the hunger of the new kids on the block.
In such early albums as "Pretty Hate Machine" and "The Downward Spiral," Reznor brought to the rock mainstream an anger and aggression that was largely unprecedented -- songs of alienation and self-loathing that connected so strongly with young rock fans that hundreds of bands picked up on it, though they captured only the aggression, not Reznor's artful edges.
Drawing the loudest cheers of the weekend when he took the stage with his new NIN lineup, Reznor reunited the aggression and the art. He still sang the darkest of his high-energy tales with a passion and power that made his voice seem like the cry of a man trapped in the back wing of a sanitarium -- someone stripped of his faith and future.
Yet he brought a new tenderness and insight to the softest and greatest of his tunes, "Hurt," and to key songs from NIN's new album, "With Teeth," which went on sale today.
It's as if Reznor's struggle against the drug and alcohol addiction that kept him off the road for some five years was a humbling and revealing experience that has helped him bring new depth to the music.
In the new "The Line Begins to Blur," which came early in the set, Reznor shared the confusion of his addiction, acknowledging a vulnerability that is at times overpowering.
There are things I would never do
There are fears I cannot believe have come true.
Reznor, who moved between keyboards and guitar, was backed superbly by this NIN lineup, which brightened the old sound slightly by emphasizing guitar rather than synthesizer.
Given the normally laid-back Coachella crowd, there were tense moments before NIN's set. Fans, some of whom had traveled from around the country, pressed so hard against the front barriers in the open field that security guards had to help lift them to safety.
Once the music started, however, fans simply celebrated the return of a hero.
"Celebrate" may sound like an odd term to describe the reaction to music so relentlessly dark. But there was a sense of community among the fans, some of whom spoke after the set about the cleansing nature of the visceral sound.
There was also much celebration elsewhere on the vast festival grounds as fans checked out old favorites, including England's Gang of Four and New Order, and new ones.
Of them all, the Arcade Fire came the closest to Nine Inch Nails to stealing the day. The group's music has an epic yet deeply personal feel, blending lyrics about such heavy topics as death and fidelity with musical touches that span guitars and violins to keyboards and accordions to constantly flame the Fire.
Another great young force is Conor Oberst, the young man from Omaha who may just be the best pure, folk-accented singer-songwriter since that great '70s crop of "new Dylans."
But Oberst, who tours and records under the group name Bright Eyes, focused Sunday on the sophisticated, heavily layered arrangements found in his recent "rock" album, "Digital Ash in a Digital Urn."
Some songs rate with his best ever, and the army of musicians (including synthesizer, guitarist, cellist, violinist, two drummers) captured marvelously at times the freewheeling nature of Oberst's image-rich lyrics. Still, the approach Sunday didn't reflect the satisfying nature of his mostly acoustic, folk-leaning "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" album, or Oberst's presentation of "Morning" songs recently at the Orpheum Theatre.
Blessed with mid-'80s weather this weekend, Coachella felt especially rewarding and relevant in a time when lots of interesting new acts are arriving, especially from England, whether it's such rockers as Kasabian, Futureheads, Razorlight and Bloc Party or the commentary and dance-world infectiousness of M.I.A., who performed in one of the side tents. Hip-hop also was a step forward for the predominantly alt-rock event.
The joy of Coachella -- and the reason it has become the nation's most respected rock festival -- is that promoter Paul Tollett and his team at Goldenvoice pack the bill each year with the best available contemporary acts, rather than just go with names on the latest sales chart.
As he stood backstage at the end of the night, Tollett was already thinking about next year. "Who would you like to see?" he asked one young fan.
It's a question he'll ask many times until he's got the 2006 lineup in place. He's not taking a poll, just trying to get turned on to new favorites.
In an age when everything from radio playlists to record company promotion dollars are often wasted on commercially promising but hollow artists, Tollett keeps his focus on music that matters. That's ultimately why Coachella itself matters.

Dear Friends
Thanks for praying for us during this past week. God is so good to us, and His goodness was evident in many ways over our team retreat weekend. We covered a number of topics, and I left the retreat with the sense that we´re more "on the same page" than we´ve ever experienced before.
Our retreat theme was "Connecting – one with another." We surely connected at a heart level in many ways. As we took turns sharing about what God is doing in our lives, it became quickly apparent to me that God is working deeply in our midst. Just knowing this causes me to wonder what amazing things might be ahead! I have to say that I left the retreat greatly encouraged and filled with hope for our future.
This fall our Cáceres team is working with 2 new interns, Kami and Philipa. Both girls, along with Ruth Cook, served as our youth program coordinators on the retreat. Working together allowed them to cover off the youth needs, as well as participate in turn in our planning/work sessions. Megan and Carly both returned from the retreat excited and thankful to form part of the team. They had a great time.
I would ask that you pray for us as we put "legs" to the ideas discussed at the retreat. Many exciting things happening all at once can lead to much getting done, or can lead to much "doing" with little of significance getting done. Please pray for wisdom in setting priorities, continued encouragement to carry out the task of establishing reproducing communities of believers in Spain, and a growing sense of community within our team.
Thanks so much for your partnership with us!

Indeed, his nightly Crossing Over with John Edward is the highest-rated show on the Sci Fi network and is about to go into syndication. He has made appearances on Larry King Live, Dateline, an HBO special, Entertainment Tonight and other TV shows. Between his fees for individual appointments, tickets for his seminars and stage appearances, and sales of his books, audiotapes and videotapes, Edward seems to be one of the few growth industries in an otherwise lackluster economy.
But is he for real? Edward's critics claim his feats are merely illusions created by standard magicians' ploys--helped along, they charge, by a few tactics that are downright underhanded.
Like other mediums, Edward relies heavily on a technique known in the trade as "cold reading." It involves posing a series of questions and suggestions, each shaped by the subject's previous response. Practitioners often begin, for example, by uttering a generality: "I sense an older father figure here," eliciting a response that leads him to the next question. "I'm getting that his death resulted from a problem in his chest" is a statistically sound guess that could cover everything from lung cancer and emphysema to a heart attack. Should the subject answer no, the cold reader will often say, "Well, we'll get back to that," and quickly change tack. It's a sophisticated form of the game Twenty Questions, during which the subject, anxious to hear from the dead, seldom realizes that he, not the medium or the departed, is supplying the answers.
Michael O'Neill, a New York City marketing manager, had no preconceived notions about Edward but experienced what he is convinced was a "hot reading"--a variation on the cold reading in which the medium takes advantage of information surreptitiously gathered in advance. Given an extra ticket by family members hoping to hear from his deceased grandfather, O'Neill attended a performance and was singled out by Edward, who received what he claimed were communications sent directly from the dead grandfather.
While many of those messages seemed to O'Neill to be clearly off base, Edward made a few correct "hits," mystifying everyone by dropping family names and facts he could not possibly have known.
It was not until weeks after the performance, when O'Neill saw the show on TV, that he began to suspect chicanery. Clips of him nodding yes had been spliced into the videotape after statements with which he remembers disagreeing. In addition, says O'Neill, most of Edward's "misses," both on him and other audience members, had been edited out of the final tape.
Now suspicious, O'Neill recalled that while the audience was waiting to be seated, Edward's aides were scurrying about, striking up conversations and getting people to fill out cards with their name, family tree and other facts. Once inside the auditorium, where each family was directed to preassigned seats, more than an hour passed before show time while "technical difficulties" backstage were corrected.
And what did most of the audience--drawn by the prospect of communicating with their departed relatives--talk about during the delays? Those departed relatives, of course. These conversations, O'Neill suspects, may have been picked up by the microphones strategically placed around the auditorium and then passed on to the medium. (A spokesperson for Crossing Over would say only that Edward does not respond to criticism.)
Meanwhile, O'Neill e-mailed his suspicions to the James Randi Educational Foundation in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where the Amazing Randi, a magician and skeptic, had been tracking Edward's career. Some of what Randi has learned is scheduled to be aired this week on Inside Edition, in what will probably be the first nationally televised show to take a skeptical look at the Edward phenomenon. Among other things, the show will feature Randi's demonstration of the cold-reading technique used by magicians to entertain and mediums to hoodwink an unsuspecting public.

The Black Forest is a unique natural area mostly composed of a mountain range with a large forest density located southwest of Germany, in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg. Within this group of mountains and forests the Feldberg peak with 1493 m of altitude is the highest point in the region. With about 160 km long and up to 60 km wide, it has become a place of pilgrimage for those who wish to make nature tourism and enjoy nature and local customs for a few days.
The first references to this jungle are from the 14th century. It plays a major role in Germanic history, as it was the limit of the Roman Empire, which naturally delineated the rise of this empire to German lands. This created cores of independent population which developed their own culture and customs, not so much influenced by the Roman Empire as were the Mediterranean cultures. Hence, it is a pleasure to visit the region, since it has a particular history that enriches the visit of any tourist willing to enjoy nature and the contact with the German people.
One of the highest interests of The Black Forest is rural tourism, offering natural landscapes in the continental Europe, life in the outdoors and sports such as hiking trails attract thousands of adventurers each year. We must emphasize the great condition of public facilities, viewpoints, roads and hiking trails that are well demarcated and indicated. This is a great advantage because you do not need to hire the services of a guide to enjoy this lush continental forest. One of the most requested hiking routes is the high route of the Black Forest from Baden-Baden to Freudenstadt. And if you are not passionate about walking, you can do mountain biking in many of these routes.
Other places you can visit in this region are the Thermal Palace in Bad Wildbad, or Triberg waterfalls and the Europa Park in Rust. In Furtwangen and Donaueschingen, you can see the source of the Danube. If you enjoy visiting beautiful natural landscapes you can not fail to see the lakes Titisee and Schluchsee and enjoy a day of trekking climbing the highest mountain of the Black Forest, the Feldberg (1,493 m)
The German culture of that area is very rich, and it offers the opportunity to visit many interesting museums. A good example is the Centre for Art and Media Technology in Karlsruhe. The Vitra design in Weil am Rhein, is a museum belonging to Vitra, the famous brand of designer furniture, in which you can see different samples of modern architecture, interior design and furniture of the brand. The building itself is a work of art, architecturally speaking. Another point of interest is the German Clock Museum (Deutsches Uhrenmuseum) located in Furtwangen with a variety of automatons and clocks of all sizes and varieties. Finally you can not miss the museum of peasant houses in Gutach Vogtsbauernhof an der Schwarzwald reproducing peasant life in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
The Black Forest is one of the most interesting places in Germany, and it has excellent road connections from almost any major European capital, so, why don't you visit it on your next trip to Europe? You will enjoy unforgettable days for sure.

Over 25 Taliban Insurgents Killed in Afghan Fighter Jets Airstrike
Afghan warplanes bombed strongholds of the Taliban militants in the Central Ghour province, which left at least 25 fighters killed, Ghour Governor Seyed Anvar Rahmati announced on Monday.
Rahmati said that the latest air attack was carried out against Taliban positions in the town of Pasaband, which also led to the killing of a former Taliban governor identified as Mulla Farooq.
Rahmani further added that 13 fighters were also injured in the air attack.
The Afghan military and security forces have recently intensified operations against the militants groups across the country to root out the foreign-backed insurgency.

Special Note: I have started a daily prayer and meditation service called "Wake Up With God." I am using a phone text to send out a brief thought and prayer guide most often times based on the Daily Text for the day. I generally send this out each night between 9 and 10 p.m. to be used the next morning as you get the day going. This is a service that can be used in conjunction with the prayer form found on this blog. If you are interested in receiving this "daily text", please just send me a text at 484-221-5489. Please include your name with your text and a brief note indicating that you are interested in subscribing to this service.
The Watchword for the week:
Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god. Isaiah 44:6
This is the day that the Lord has made,
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
We offer thanks to God for creating us, redeeming us, and sustaining us in our daily lives.
We offer thanks to God for being our beginning, our destination, and an ever present companion on the path that we travel.
Psalm 86:11-17
11 Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart to revere your name.
12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
and I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your steadfast love toward me;
you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
14 O God, the insolent rise up against me;
a band of ruffians seeks my life, and they do not set you before them.
15 But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me;
give your strength to your servant; save the child of your serving girl.
17 Show me a sign of your favor, so that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame,
because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
Knowing that God is ready to hear us, let us confess our sins:
Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned in many ways, times, and places. We have too often forgotten your place in our lives. We have allowed the clamoring distractions of our world to claim our hearts, our lives, and our money. We spend far too much time wrapped up with things that promise us only short-term entertainment, rather than a life-time of meaning. We often labor so that we might be able to buy more rather than serve you. We confess that we find it hard to live simply so that we can simply focus on you who should be the first and last priority in our lives. Empower us to toss out the many gods that call for our time, money, and attention.
Hear and know that the Lord is good. God forgives those who are contrite in heart. Live in peace for God's steadfast love endures forever. Give praise to God!
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
This now is a time for the reading of a scripture passage. If you have a copy of the Moravian Daily Texts take time to read today's texts now, but don't rush over them as a task to be completed. If you would like to receive a text daily on your phone that often times is based on the Daily Text, please send me a text at 484-221-5489. Include your name in the text, and a brief note indicating that you would like to subscribe to this "daily text."
What ever text you use, know that these are the words that God would have you to cherish for this day. These are words that could transform your life if you allow them to. So read slowly and deliberately. Pause at words or phrases that happen to catch your spirit, for these are places where God might be speaking to you. When you have finished with your reading of scriptures, take time to pray for the needs that you present today, for the needs of those you love, and for the needs of a hurting world. May your time of prayer help you to clarify where God would want you to focus your energy. When you are ready continue with this prayer as follows:
Let us confess our faith in the One who truly loves us:
I believe in the one true God, the Father of humanity,
who creates and sustains the universe in wisdom and power,
who calls us into being and into relationship with God by grace, whose nature is love.
I believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
who lived that we might see God,
who died that we might be reconciled to God,
who rose that we might experience the life of God,
ho freely accepts and welcomes all who come to him, not on the basis of their merit, but on the basis of his unconditional love.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
who is God present with us now,
who shows us our need for God,
who assures us of God's love in all circumstances
who lives the life and love of Jesus Christ through us.
In this faith I will seek to live in harmony with God, with people everywhere, and with all of creation. Amen.
(From the Moravian Book of Worship, the Liturgy for Creation, page 29. Used by permission from the Moravian Interprovincial Board of Communication.)
On this day may we seek to lay aside those things which keep us from seeing God present with us in our lives.
Through the hours of this day may we, O God, fix our eyes only on you.
Keep us from being distracted by the self-centeredness of our culture.
Help us to use the hours of this day and the gifts with which you have blessed us to serve others in your name.
Give us hearts of compassion and reconciliation by which we can bring others to know of your love.
May the words that we speak, the thoughts of our hearts, and the actions of our lives be pleasing to you, O Lord.
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Amen.

My First BariBox Review ,a Project, + A call for Designers!
Gosh, these past few weeks have been a whirlwind! I have been so busy preparing for The Crafters Bash that I haven't had a chance to share with you my first Baribox! I was so excited to recently meet the lovely lady behind Baribox and I am glad to be joining Baribox as part of their design team. Ok, so let's get down to what came in my box. This is a box that is right up my alley! I love all paper products and things that are ubberly cute! I got tons of American Crafts products which is one of my favorite brands and did you see the cute skinny washi tape? Swoon!
Even the packaging that the box came in is super adorable and the boxes are super sturdy! They come with a white label on the side so I can reuse them to store other craft supplies.
I decided to create a fun envelope and tag. I love sending snail mail so I knew this would be the perfect project for me.I used the Dear Lizzy rub on's to add some decorations on the outside of the envelope then I incorporated some paper embellishments to finish off the envelope. For my tag, I found a sweet quote and attached it with my washi tape then finished it off with some baker's twine that I had in my craft stash. This was a super easy project but turned out so cute and I can't wait to send it off to a special friend.
Are you a BariBox subscriber? What did you think of your first box and what did you create? Do you have a passion for crafting? Well it is your lucky day because Baribox is looking for a few good crafters to join the Baribox team! Interested? Head over their website to learn more! Deadline is August 15th, 2013!

When I write about Kirabo Seeds I like to be open, authentic and real. I can't write if I have to reach through too many filters. And there are times when struggles and difficulties are so real that I just don't know what I can say. So can I be honest? (aren't I always?) I'm just not a fan of selling, posturing, promoting, and marketing something that is vital, essential and raw like orphan care. I am not going to gloss this work and make it look shiny. What orphaned children go through is not supposed to make us feel good. This work takes grit and the jaw of a bull dog.
We have children who were laborers, and slaves. They suffered abuse, neglect and at the very best the constant worry that it might be too long before they ate again. They never ever had their own bed and when they were sick it was a real problem to get medical care. And then God allowed us to welcome them to our home at Kirabo Seeds. We have taken on the hard work of parenting seventeen children in a third world country on the other side of the world. And this is messy work. This is work that demands a long long long term commitment. There is no end in sight.
These children are really interesting and unique like every child God has created. When they were in survival mode it was impossible for their personalities to blossom. Since they have experienced some security and consistency in their lives after two years in our home, they are now free to explore that individuality. It is so much fun to get to know these children's spunky personalities.
Students in Uganda don't usually dream for their futures. They just hope to be able to stumble across something that they can take as good enough.
I want our children at Kirabo Seeds to set impossible goals then work hard to reach them. I guess I'm trying to give them the American optimism and ambition. Is that so wrong? "Go get it! Dream it true."
All of us at Kirabo Seeds, from the supporter, sponsor, staff member, or facebook/blog spy have an opportunity to help these kids reach impossible goals. We can give them opportunity, education, counseling, and experience that prepares them for a life of their dreams.
We want to fill their lives with encouragement, education and challenge. We can help them believe they can set their goals and reach them. Then we can walk the road with them until they do, in much the same way we parent our adult children.
The opportunity to help a child come alive, identify dreams and then reach for them is perhaps the most alive I will ever feel.
I can't count how many times my own children have reached goals I have set for myself. And when I see the offspring reach them I am more satisfied to see it belong to them than I would be if it were mine. For example, Kevin got to spend much of his summer at Columbia University in a creative writing program. (honest repentant jealousy) And I'm quite sure he'll be a published author before I will. (we have waged the contest but his natural talent will take him to the finish line before me) Jack is a far more talented dressage rider than I am and I try harder than he does. Jordan has more loyalty than anyone I know and I can't help but admire him and wish the same could be said for myself. Donny went to India and worked at Mother Theresa's home. I wanted to do that too. Miss Kira, well, she's only in kindergarten but I'm already sure as far as it goes with being a dancer she's already stolen my spot light.
When a child achieves beyond the parent there are not words for the satisfaction and joy it brings us. This is what I want for our children at Kirabo Seeds. I want them to reach further than their minds could imagine and then all of us come behind them and do our best to make sure the bricks in their road are laid. We are involved in orphan care not to just provide the basics of a meal, clothes, shelter and education. We are in it to teach them to work hard, reach far, and get really outside their comfort place to reach their goals. Then we can encourage them to ask all the children they meet or raise to do the same. "Go for it! Dream it true." Are you in?

Court Rules to Vacate TSCA Title VI Extension Date; Seeks Input on Alternative Compliance Date
On February 16, Judge Jeffrey White issued his opinion in the Sierra Club et al. v. Scott Pruitt case, deciding to vacate the rule that had extended the TSCA Title VI compliance date to December 12, 2018, but temporarily stay the order to allow for Parties to negotiate an alternative compliance date. In his opinion, the Judge agreed with the Plaintiffs that Congress intended for the emissions limits to go into effect 180 days after issuance of the TSCA Title VI regulations. The Judge also rejected the EPA's waiver argument that the Plaintiffs had failed to exhaust their administrative remedies by not commenting on the proposed extension to the compliance deadline.
The Parties have until March 9, 2018 at 4 pm to meet and confer on an alternative compliance date, and then submit either a joint proposed submission or simultaneous briefs. The Federal Government may also decide to appeal this case, although this possibility is remote. As an amicus, CPA has conveyed to the Justice Department its concerns regarding the timing of the compliance date and will continue to remain engaged and track this process closely. See Court Opinion. More Info: Jackson Morrill

The Sound of Pain
I have called this blog The Sound of Pain to express my sadness at the events that transpired here yesterday. A quiet day in the river valley was shattered with the sound of chainsaws, the crashing of trees, and the grinding whirring engine of the bulldozer. Just behind the house a whole area was being cleared for development. I watched as the birds looked on, askance, at their trees disappearing into the earth.
The river provides a place of beauty and tranquility, a real contrast to the pandamonium that transpires when developers make place for new housing by destroying the housing of animals, birds and insects.
In the past few weeks, all round this area, the sound of the chainsaw has not been far away. Trees are making way for new housing and the whole area is undergoing a massive transformation as old houses are demolished for appartment living. The bush turkeys still walk up and down the street looking for food and digging up the front garden. And at night I hear the bats chatting and sqwark-a-ling, but the trees that were their blossom providers as well as food and home for possums and other creatures have been torn away, and the heart of the earth is in pain, like my own.
Yesterday was just the first of many days to come of the sight and and sound of painful devastation. To cope with this sadness for the madness, I seek solace in the inspirational words of Wendell Berry, in his poem 'The Peace of Wild Things'.
The Peace of Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Wendell Berry
The pain of suffering of human and earth often acts as a catalyst for people to become more aware of social and environmental injustices. Witnessing environmental destruction as an adult or child has beern the impulse for action, as if the grief of feeling the earth's pain becomes the motivation for trying to ease any future suffering. When sacred places like the homes for small creatures are destroyed, when people catch their first glimpse of clear felling, when they, like the founder of Sea Shepherd look into the eye of the just harpooned, now dying whale, their grief overflows.
Environmental carer Joanna Macy balances the depths of grief and despair with action and ritual. Recently I took part in a Council of All Beings ceremony right on the edge of the Brisbane River.
In this ritual, we give voice to the being and species who have been silenced by environmental despair. We don masks of other beings, animals, plants, birds, elements, insects, fish, coral reefs, forest moss, trees, and one by one, in the guise of our chosen 'being', we speak out on behalf of, and as the animals, expressing our sadness at what humans have done,and are doing, to the precious and sacred environment.
The paved-over and over-logged society has forgotten its inimate connection with the natural world. We are nature but we need the otherness of nature to remind us of our human-ness. This is at the heart of the second part of the Council of All Beings ritual. After sharing our sadness, even outrage at what humans have done to the sacred land and sea, we stand in circle and one my one, still in the guise of our chosen being, we offer our quality, our character, the sense of our identity, to the human. Qualities of tenacity, of aliveness, of laughter, of dance, of beauty, of vision and wisdom.
Then we dance our connection with the beings. Us as nature, with nature, dancing in partnership, being inspired and in-spirited. The Council of All Beings ritual helps us learn to listen, and to hear with a different hearing, to speak with a different voice, to feel and declare with words, the songs and dances embedded in the land, the rivers and the oceans. Gary Lawless says it simply in his moving poem, 'Earth Prayers'.
Earth Prayers
When the animals come to us
asking for our help
will we know what they are saying?
When the plants speak to us
in their delicate beautiful language,
will we be able to answer them?
When the planet herself
sings to us in dreams,
will we be able to wake ourselves, and act?
Gary Lawless

We derive worst-case scenarios in the case where the interest rate and the various transition intensities in a life insurance model are mutually dependent. Examples of this dependence are that surrender intensities and interest rates are high at the same time, that mortality intensities of a policyholder as active and disabled, respectively, are low at the same time, and that mortality intensities of the policyholders in a portfolio are low at the same time. The set from which the worst-case scenario is taken reflects the dependence structure and allows us to relate the worst-case scenario-based reserve, qualitatively, to a Value-at-Risk-based calculation of solvency capital requirements. This brings out perspectives for our results in relation to qualifying the standard formula of Solvency II or using a scenario-based approach in internal models. The fact that our worst-case scenario is deterministic and not adapted to the development of the portfolio makes the results particularly powerful for certain applications but also draws on methodological advancements. The formalistic results are exemplified in a series of numerical studie

After all is said and done, more is said than done.
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
If you choose bad companions, no one will believe that you are anything but bad yourself.
If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.
Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury – to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best for both the body and the mind.
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
I don't know a single writer who wasn't a reader first.
The greatest ability is availability. If we are not available to God, no matter what other kinds of ability we have, our ability is no good. Ability without availability is a liability.
Availability means that there is a sense of preparedness and readiness.
In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.
He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander.
Never allow the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!

Oakdale-Funeral services for Hazel Dyer, 89, will be held at 3 p.m. Wednesday, April 12, 2017, in Allen Parish Funeral Home of Oakdale. Rev. Greg Willis will officiate. Burial will follow in Cryer Cemetery under the direction of Allen Parish Funeral Home of Oakdale.
The family will receive visitors at Allen Parish Funeral Home from 2-10 p.m. Tuesday, April 11, 2017. Visitation will resume Wednesday at 10 a.m. until time of service.
We want to tell you about the most wonderful mother, wife, and grandma anyone could ask for. She was a loving wife to Jack Dyer for 42 years. Hazel spent seventeen years employed by the Sheriff's Office as a crossing guard for Oakdale Elementary. She loved every moment of that job and was proud of the work she did there. She helped raise six wonderful grandchildren, twelve great grandchildren, and eight great-great grandchildren. Hazel lived a full life, full of love. We will miss her every day, but we know she is flying high with love ones. Say "hi" to everyone for us granny.
Those left to cherish Hazel's memory include her son, John B. Dyer (J.B.) and her daughter, Dorothy Sue Dyer Stalsby.
Hazel is preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Ocie Stockman; husband, Jack Dyer; grandson, Brandon Luke Stalsby; three sisters, Maxine Stockman Doyal, Charlene Byrd Maricle, and Helen S. Maricle; and one brother, Odlie H. Stockman.
Words of comfort may be sent to the family at www.allenparishfuneralhome.com, www.ardoinfuneralhome.com, and our Facebook page Ardoin/Allen Parish Funeral Homes

Equity dilution, also known as stock dilution, is the decrease in existing shareholders' ownership of a company as a result of the company issuing new equity. New equity increases the total shares outstanding which has a dilutive effect on the ownership percentage of existing shareholders.
In an equity type of offering- say for example, common stock, the company has already set aside the number of shares they wish to release to investors- so if they offered 10 million shares at $0.01, they have agreed to raise a total of $100,000 and whether you buy 1,000 shares or 10,000 shares, you are getting them at $0.01 regardless. If they decide to later issue (release) more shares to the public then there will be more shares outstanding.
Now, suppose these two scenarios:
- Scenario A: you have 10,000 shares at $0.01. ($100 total invested)
- Scenario B: you have 100,000 shares at the same price, $0.01. ($1,000 total invested)
Also, suppose the company is sold/acquired and when it is sold the new price of each share is now $2.00.
In which scenario are you better off- the one where you did the minimum or the one where you invested more?
Scenario A: $20,000 (10,000 shares x $2.00)
Scenario B: $200,000 (100,000 shares x $2.00)
Of course, you could lose it all in which case you could either lose a)$100 or b)$1,000. This is the exactly what people mean when they say "no risk, no reward" -so higher risk can be potentially higher return but with the probabilities of higher loss too.
What about future funding rounds? How does that affect my shares?
Successful startups host many rounds of financings, all the way to an IPO. For each financing, the startup issues additional stock to the new investors. As long as the value of the company increases with each funding round, this is healthy and normal. For example, the first investor in Facebook, Peter Thiel, originally purchased ~10% of the company for $500,000. By 2011, that stake was diluted down to under 3%, but estimated to be worth ~$2 billion.
Sometimes, when things are not going well, the startup is given the option of going bankrupt or raising more money in a "down round," which means the value of the company decreased since the last financing. This is very bad for the founders and past investors alike; the dilution happens much more rapidly. But it's preferable to the startup going bankrupt and the investors losing everything.

Take 15 Steps South at the Internship
Take risks, find your passion. With graduations happening across the country, this is the season of pithy advice giving.
I was thinking about this as I watched our new batch of interns complete a scavenger hunt last week.
Wouldn't it be great if everyone was given a life map with a set of instructions guaranteed to lead to happiness and career success? Turn right at the AP English class, turn left at the college of your dreams, take 15 steps south at the internship.
I get asked for advice a lot, and I always struggle. Like many others I know, I am still on a career journey. And, I am not sure that I have figured things out.
But, these truths I do hold to be self-evident.
Get out of your comfort zone.
The times when I have felt most exhilarated at work is when I volunteered for a project or took on a task which I knew nothing about. A little fear in the belly is a good thing.
In the words on Steve Jobs, ""Fall down, make a mess, break something occasionally. And remember that the story is never over."
Make mistakes.
One of the things which I love about Informatica is that I am allowed the freedom to try new ideas. Many of these ideas don't work, but I find comfort in the fact that if something doesn't work, I can try again. Exploration is encouraged.
In the words of the great Winston Churchill, "
"Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." This is the time to try new things.
Say yes to everything
This is related to the first point. My best learning, my best friends…well you sense the theme here, came from experiences where I volunteered for projects or assignments. I learnt more than I ever did during my "day job", and I got immense satisfaction in mastering something I knew nothing about.
In the words of Dale Rogers, "Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there".
Whether you are starting your first job, or your first internship, don't just sit there, raise your hand!
Our college hires work across several of our business functions Many of them use their technical skills to contribute to our world class data integration products, others flex their analytical and creative skills to dive deep, looking for new answers to old problems. Whichever team our new hires work for, they are on the first round of their career journey. And, to highlight their unique experiences, and to showcase the lessons they learn while they are with us, we're bringing you a special blog series, "Informatica Interns: 2015.
We hope you enjoy it!

We sit together
at the wooden table
in the house grandpa's father built,
made of concrete.
It's cold,
but your presence warms me.
I play music from
the Mexican tradition:
You smile
because listening
to Vicente Fernandez, to Juan Gabriel, to Paco Michel
brings back memories.
Memories of happier times,
simpler days,
your youth.
I watch you
as we listen.
The spark in your eyes
brings tears
of joy
of sorrow
of neglect.
I hug you
and whisper,
as if to say,
"It's okay,
I am here.
Grandpa may be gone,
but his legacy lives on.
In me,
in you,
in all of us.
Yes, in
your kids,
your grandkids,
and great grandkids too."
You are the matriarch
of our family.
Your name means:
In the origin of
Ancient Greek.
Because your shrubbery grows
in dry soil and
is often sweet-scented.
Let your
white flowering
continue to flourish
to ten, to fifteen, to twenty
feet high.
For without you,
we couldn't be nigh —
sheltered in your embrace.

The Bible is big and heavy, in more ways than one. I am a young woman who thinks it's about time I can carry my Holy book.
So for the next year, beginning October 11th, I'll be attempting to read the Bible in a year. I'm using the reading plan found here: http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/biblereading-1yr.html rather than reading though from beginning to end because, frankly, the thought of spending two weeks in Leviticus is too much for me.
Writing this blog will hopefully make me think as i read…but well see…

|Trust me on this one, start dipping your tortilla chips into your butternut squash/apple soup. You will NOT be disappointed!
I discovered this on a fluke: my husband is not a fan of the soup (turns out, I'm not either, which I discovered after cooking up a huge vat of the stuff), so he had nachos instead. But in making too many nachos, I had a few off the side and starting dipping in the soup leftover from my children (who didn't like the soup as well - if anything, we are a family united).
The flavor combination is just divine and tastes so much of fall. Autumn nachos? Maybe sprinkle a few leeks over the top? That might be pushing things too far. Nevermind, let's just stick with the soup as dip.

Boughton's Exclusive New Venue
25th April, 2014
Northamptonshire's exquisite Boughton House is expanding its events repertoire with the addition of a luxury function suite.
From Summer 2014, visitors to the exclusive Estate, known as the English Versailles, will have the opportunity to utilise The Tapestry Suite, a new bespoke wedding and events venue.
The elegant new space, situated in an 18th century stable block at the home of the Duke of Buccleuch, will seat up to 100 guests and, as well as bar, in-house catering facilities and a daytime bridal suite, will feature tapestries hand-selected by the Duke from the renowned Buccluech art collection.
Charles Lister, Boughton House Property Manager, said: "We are delighted to be unveiling our new function space. The project has been a real labour or love and we believe we've created a venue worthy of this wonderful Estate. Whether it's a wedding, fundraising ball or conference, Boughton now offers a stylish, indoor setting to cater for all needs."
Larger parties can also continue to make use of the 16th century House's Great Court, which provides the perfect setting for marquee-based events for up to 600 guests.
The House, which boasts stunning paintings, tapestries and objets d'art, including the work of Gainborough and Van Dyck, has become a haven for couples seeking a fairy-tale period wedding, after recently opening its doors to non-family nuptials.
Couples can follow in the footsteps of Marius and Cosette from the Oscar-winning film Les Miserables, and tie the knot in Boughton's Great Hall (with up to 100 guests) under Louis Cheron's 300-year-old 'Marriage of Hercules and Hebe' ceiling. And, unlike many other stately homes, Boughton is also licenced to conduct outdoor ceremonies in its stunning colonnade (seating up to 150 guests).
Charles added: "By hosting your event at Boughton you're becoming part of Buccleuch history and we look forward to sharing our centuries-old heritage and culture with you."
Only an hour away from London, Boughton House is situated off the A43, allowing easy access for you and your guests.
Its sweeping lawns, private gardens and striking architecture coupled with the relaxed, yet exclusive atmosphere of a family home, ensure Boughton is unlike any other venue.

Airwiting Glove Is the Latest Toy for German Computer Dudes
Typing on a cramped and un-tactile touchscreen is never an enjoyable experience. While it can be easily solved using a Bluetooth portable keyboard, such a solution is not nearly neat as most geeks, like us, want. With this regard, a group of German computer scientists have developed an Airwriting glove. As exciting as it sounds, this glove enables the user to write email or message in the air.
Specifically, Airwriting glove is the project of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. It's integrated with accelerometers and a gyro sensor which give it the capability to read the users' hand gestures. In order to tell whether the users are actually writing in the air, not just randomly waving their hands, it's accompanied by pattern recognition software.
If gestures are recognized, the software then attempts to convert it to digital texts and they will be immediately displayed on the screen. The developer team says that since the program runs based on statistical models, it can address various styles of airwriting. You heard it right; it's not handwriting anymore. If the users somehow have the habit of writing in all capital letters, the software can assist them even further as it's capable of recognizing, more or less, 8,000 words and sentences.
The percentage of misinterpreting is 11% which is quite impressive given that it's still a prototype. Compared to Fujitsu Invisible Keyboard, it sounds a lot easier to use.Still, the team isn't very happy with the result. They have planned to build the said sensors to an armband, just like Myo. If this goes through, not only will it revolutionize how we use touchscreen devices but also wearable computers alike such as HC1 Headset Computer and Google Project Glass.
