Leaders Urged to Shape Sustainable and Inclusive Future Together
Geneva, Switzerland, September 28, 2021 / TRAVELINDEX / The World Economic Forum's fifth Sustainable Development Impact Summit was brought to a close today by Børge Brende, President of the World Economic Forum. Calling climate change "one of the most urgent challenges of our lifetime" he thanked the more than 2,300 participants for their work to move projects forward across the more than 100 sessions.
"Exiting the pandemic stronger than we entered it can only happen if stakeholders work together," he said. "Important strides were made these past four days that give me so much hope – it has truly been an impact summit. I am confident that if we continue to raise our ambition and work together, we can shape a more inclusive and sustainable future."
In his closing remarks, Brende spoke of the need to share know-how, partner on innovation and coordinate on advancing global priorities.
COP26 in Glasgow and the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2022 in Davos-Klosters will be focal points for leaders to show impact and demonstrate how they are moving towards global goals.
The Sustainable Development Impact Summit was designed around four pillars: Revitalizing Economies; Advancing an Inclusive Recovery; Scaling up Climate Action; and Shaping Future Food Systems. Here are the key outcomes:
– A little over two years ago, the Forum committed to developing a set of universal environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics to help companies practice stakeholder capitalism. Over 50 companies are now using these Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics and over 100 support the initiative worldwide.
– The EDISON Alliance committed to building affordable digital access to healthcare, finance and education for 1 billion people by 2025.
– Airlines, airports, fuel suppliers and other industry stakeholders aim for 10% sustainable aviation fuel by 2030 to help one of the most carbon-heavy sectors get to net-zero by 2050.
– Some 150 organizations and industry leaders signed a Call to Action urging governments to enable a full decarbonization of shipping by 2050.
– The Partnership for Global LGBTI Equality launched a self-assessment tool to help companies identify actions to meet UN standards of conduct.
– The Forum's Partnering for Racial Justice in Business Coalition now comprises 60 organizations, representing over 7 million employees.
– Alongside the first ever UN Food Systems Summit, the Forum's Food Systems team announced the Digital Food Systems Coalition, the 100 Million Farmers platform to help develop a more inclusive and sustainable food system for all and co-hosted the innovation track with Mercy Corps.
– Over 20 companies have pledged to conserve, restore and grow more than 2.5 billion trees in over 40 countries as part of the 1t.org global pledge process.
– The Forum's Scale360 project, which creates products with multiple lifecycles instead of single use, expanded from two to 20 countries.
– Cambodia established a Closing the Skills Gap Accelerator, joining a global network of 11 countries addressing skills gaps and the future of work.
– Finland joined the Global Learning Network to contribute its expertise in closing education gaps.
– The Food Action Alliance has expanded to 20 countries and is working on local and national flagships that improve sustainability and inclusivity.
– The Forum's innovation platform, UpLink, announced that its innovators helped advance projects that captured 39 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, brought safe drinking water to 2.7 million people and created 133,000 jobs. It also announced four new cohorts and two new challenges.
– The Forum's Friends of Ocean Action launched the Blue Food Partnership and two other initiatives to strengthen ocean resilience.
– The Mangroves Working Group will conserve and restore these forests by building a "blue" carbon market.
– Pakistan became the latest country to step-up in the fight against plastic pollution, joining Indonesia, Ghana, Nigeria and Viet Nam in the Global Plastic Action Partnership.
– The New Generation Industry Leaders community will transform perceptions around industrial companies and inspire new generations to seek work in industrial sectors.
– Cities have a new free resource to help them reduce emissions faster and make urban life more climate-friendly, courtesy of the Net-Zero Carbon Cities project.
– The new Global Health Equity Network will work across public and private sectors to boost access to health and well-being initiatives.
– The Forum played a critical role with the Race to Zero Coalition in mobilizing almost 30% of the health sector to commit to net-zero targets by 2050.
– The Lung Ambition Alliance and the Forum launched the Global Lung Cancer Collaboration to eliminate the disease and ensure the future sustainability of health systems.
Sustainable Development Impact Summit
The meeting brought together global leaders from business, government, and civil society under the theme, Shaping an Equitable, Inclusive and Sustainable Recovery. It focused on new technologies, policies and partnerships to advance cooperation, accelerate progress and highlight tangible solutions to our global challenges.

Turkey will receive $1.78 billion in relief and recovery financing from the World Bank. This is as it deals with the aftermath of an earthquake that killed over 20,000 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless. Ankara will receive $780 million as a result of the World Bank diverting funds from two existing Turkish loan projects, according to Reuters.
There is also another $1 billion in assistance being prepared for Turkey's recovery and reconstruction. However, it will take more time to arrange than previously predicted, according to a spokesperson for the World Bank. A magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck southern Turkey on Monday. It was felt in Cyprus, Lebanon and Syria, collapsing dozens of buildings and triggering a search for survivors under the rubble in snowy streets.

An increase in women working outside the home has led to men picking up a greater share of household work, according to UBC researchers.
According to research published earlier this month, men's share of housework increased between 1986 and 2015 while women's decreased.
However, women still do the lion's share of domestic work, researchers found.
The study used data from six surveys between 1986 and 2015. More than 5,000 people from across Canada submitted their daily activities over a 24-hour period to researchers.
The study found that women spent 65 less minutes on housework in 2015 compared to 1986. Over the same 30 years, the amount of time men spent on housework rose by 40 minutes.
In 1986, 33 per cent of men said they did no housework, compared to 16 per cent in 2015. Men also now do 40 per cent of the cooking, an increase of 23 minutes daily since 1986.
Researchers say they were surprised to see that not only were men spending more time doing work around the house, but more time on traditionally feminine work like cleaning.
"When we went into this, we expected that men might have increased their time in cooking, but less so with respect to cleaning and the daily chores of housework that have traditionally been defined as 'women's work,'" said co-author Rima Wilkes, a professor of sociology at UBC.
"But we found that men are doing more of this traditional work around the house. It's not all just barbecuing and maintenance, or cooking the occasional meal. We saw change across the board for men in all kinds of household tasks."
Childcare was one task that both parents now spent more time on, despite both working.
Despite a drop in average family size, women spent two hours on childcare a day, up from an hour and a half in 1986. Men spend 72 minutes, up from 35 in 1986.

Politics and Ethnicity in Ecuador and Bolivia: Twins or Opposites?
On the surface, Ecuador and Bolivia exhibit close political similarities. Both countries are led by popular presidents who pursue leftist agendas, taking on multinational corporations, enacting land redistribution, and opposing U.S. interests. In Ecuador, incumbent president Rafael Correa just won an overwhelming victory, besting second-place finisher Guillermo Lasso by a 34 percent margin. In the most recent Bolivian general election (2009), Evo Morales, the socialist incumbent, won a similarly resounding victory, beating challenger Manfred Reyes Villa by a 38 percent margin. The two countries also evince ethno-geographical similarities. Both feature a highland core area populated by large numbers of indigenous Andean peoples, Quechua-speaking in Ecuador and both Quechua- and Aymara-speaking in Bolivia; both also contain expansive lowlands occupied mostly by Spanish-speakers of mixed (Mestizo) and European ancestry, and both have scattered groups of Amazonian Indians, several of which occupy substantial territories and are politically organized.
If one digs a bit deeper, however, the ethno-political situations in the two countries turn out to be quite different. To begin with, indigenous people form a clear majority in Bolivia (55 percent), but a definite minority in Ecuador (25 percent). In Ecuador, Correa gets most of his support from the Spanish-speaking majority, and is opposed by most indigenous groups, whereas in Bolivia, Morales is supported by the Andean Indio majority, but generally opposed by both the Spanish-speaking and Amazonian Indian populations. The two presidents also take different approaches to governing. Correa, who holds a PhD in economics from the University of Illinois, is a technocrat, and is poorly connected with social movements. Morales, in contrast, was the former leader of the coca-pickers union, and is closely connected with grassroots politics.
In Ecuador's recent election, Correa's won a mandate, easily beating his rivals. But his victory was not as overwhelming as it might seem once one considers the divisions that weakened the opposition. As can be seen on the first map, from Electoral Politics, Correa won a plurality of votes almost everywhere. What is less apparent is the fact that he won a majority of votes in less than half of Ecuador' territory. To show this pattern, I have remapped the election data at the provincial level, distinguishing the provinces that gave Correa less than half of their votes from those than gave him a majority. On the same map, I have drawn in rough boundaries separating the Pacific coast region, the Andean region, and the Amazonian region. As can be seen, Correa is very popular in the coastal zone but relatively unpopular in Amazonia. The situation is the Andes is mixed. Here some areas supported him fairly strongly, while others favored the various candidates of the opposition.
The opposition candidates were themselves a highly mixed group, preventing the formation of a united front. Three of them took a plurality of votes in several districts: Guillermo Lasso, of the center-right; Lucio Gutiérrez, a centrist or center-left candidate; and Alberto Acosta, a Marxist. Only Lasso, however, took a significant share of the votes nationwide. Álvaro Noboa, a right-wing populist banana magnate, took more votes than the Marxist candidate Acosta, as did Mauricio Rodas, but neither won the contest in any district, and hence they do not appear on the first map.
The ethnic correlations in the election are fairly clear. In general, Correa did extremely well in predominantly Spanish-speaking areas, and not so well in highly indigenous zones. To make this pattern visible, I have superimposed a map of Ecuador's indigenous languages on the depiction of its recent election, following the Ethnologue's linguistic mapping. As can be seen, most of the indigenous areas, both those in the highlands and those in the lowlands, favored the opposition. The Marxist candidate Acosta did particularly well among the Shuar and other Jivaroan-speaking peoples of the center-east, rainforest tribes that are relatively well organized and have experienced pronounced environmental stress. In general, however, the indigenous groups divided their votes widely among the oppositional candidates. The incumbent Correa performed most poorly in Napo (population 80,000), where he received only 25 percent of the vote. As the Wikipedia describes the province:
The thick rainforest [of Napo] is home to many natives that remain isolated by preference, descendents of those who fled the Spanish invasion in the Andes, and the Incas years before. As of 2000, the province was the sole remaining majority-indigenous province of Ecuador, with 56.3% of the province either claiming indigenous identity or speaking an indigenous language.
In the highlands proper, Correa's worst showing was in Bolivar province, where he received roughly a third of the vote. As the Wikipedia describes Gauaranda, the provincial capital:
Since the 1990s, the indigenous majority has seized political power and most of the local elected officers are of Quechua origin. The city has 25,000 inhabitants (2005) and is growing. It suffers severe problems of electricity and water supply.
Correa's lack of popularity with indigenous groups is usually attributed to his support for the mining and oil-extraction industries, bulwarks of the Ecuadoran economy. As Freedom House notes:
Indigenous people continue to suffer discrimination at many levels of society. In the Amazon region, indigenous groups have attempted to win a share of oil revenues and a voice in decisions on natural resources and development. The government has maintained that it will not hand indigenous groups a veto on core matters of national interest.
For a left-populist perspective on these issues, one can turn to a recent CounterPunch interview with Marc Becker, an associate professor of Latin American Studies at Truman State University. Becker characterizes Correa as a technocratic proponent of "extractivist modernization" who has little understanding or appreciation of social movements. He further argues that racial discrimination undergirds the voting patterns. As he puts it:
[M]y colleagues in Ecuador say that since Correa was elected there's been an increase of racist incidents and racism in general. … The indigenous movements are so well-organized that they gain political space that exceeds their numerical representation in the country. In Ecuador there is a certain amount of resentment by non-indigenous of indigenous for gaining political power and political space. It appears that Correa plays the race card and plays into the latent racist attitudes of the dominant population of white and mestizo people. You see this in Correa's rhetoric. He says very nasty things about indigenous people, environmentalists, and what he terms 'ultra-leftists'.
In Bolivia, in contrast, the presidency is held by an indigenous person, Evo Morales, a member of the Aymara group. His main base of support comes from the Andean Indio communities. To show this pattern, I have superimposed a map of Bolivia's indigenous language groups (again following the Ethnologue) on an electoral map (on this map, a "yes" vote on the Constitutional Referendum of 2009 indicates support for Morales). As can be seen, Morales is not popular in the Spanish-speaking lowland economic hub around Santa Cruz. Nor does he receive much support from the Amazonian indigenous communities, several of which have protested vociferously against his road-building and resource extraction policies.
As the political left has gained power across much of Latin America, conflicts between governments and indigenous groups have not abated, and in many areas they have intensified. As Simeon Tegel put it in the telling headline of his 2011 article: Left Vs. Indigenous of Latin America: Once allies, the two have clashed over environmental concerns.

The Obama administration has quietly presented a plan in which the Palestinian Authority and Jordan will receive sovereignty over the Temple Mount while Israel will retain the land below the Western Wall, according to a senior PA negotiator speaking to WND.
The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism.
The proposed plan is part of the basis for U.S.-brokered talks that are set to resume in Washington next week after Secretary of State John Kerry announced that both Israel and PA President Mahmoud Abbas have agreed to open negotiations aimed at creating a Palestinian state.
Israel has not agreed to the U.S. plan over the Temple Mount, with details still open for discussion, stated the PA negotiator.
The negotiator, who is one of the main Palestinian figures leading the Arab side of the talks, further divulged Kerry's proposed outline for a Palestinian state as presented orally to Israel and the PA.
He said Jordan has been invited to play a key role in the discussions surrounding both the Temple Mount and Jerusalem while it will be the PA, with some Jordanian assistance, that would ultimately receive control of some of those areas.
WND was first to report in 2007 that Jordan had been quietly purchasing real estate surrounding the Temple Mount in Jerusalem hoping to gain more control over the area accessing the holy site, according to Palestinian and Israeli officials.
Meanwhile, regarding the rest of Jerusalem, Kerry's plan is to rehash what is known as the Clinton parameters. That formula, pushed by President Bill Clinton during the Camp David talks in 2000, called for Jewish areas of Jerusalem to remain Israeli while the Palestinians would get sovereignty over neighborhoods that are largely Arab. Most Arab sections are located in eastern Jerusalem.
WND previously reported the Palestinians are building illegally in Jewish-owned areas of Jerusalem, resulting in Arab majorities in some neighborhoods.
For the strategic Jordan Valley, Obama's proposal calls for international forces to maintain security control along with unarmed Palestinian police forces, the PA negotiator said. Israel will retain security posts in some strategic areas of the Jordan Valley, according to the leaked plan.
When it comes to the West Bank, which borders Jerusalem and is within rocket range of Israel's main population centers, Israel is expected to evacuate about 90 percent of its Jewish communities currently located in the territory, as outlined in Kerry's plan.
Israel would retain strategic security posts along with the West Bank's main blocs, Maale Adumin, Ariel and Gush Etzion. In return, Obama is calling for an exchange of territory with the Palestinians in other locations inside Israel, with discussion being open for the Palestinians to possibly receive land in the Israeli Negev in the country's south.
The PA negotiator further said Israel rejected a Palestinian request that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agree not to place the final peace plan up for referendum in the Knesset.
Indeed, Netanyahu announced today any plan must receive final approval in a national poll.
"I am committed to two objectives that must guide the result … if there will be a result. And if there will be a result, it will be put to a national referendum," he said at the start of the cabinet meeting.
"Negotiations with the Palestinians will not be easy, but we are entering them with integrity, honesty and hope," Netanyahu added.
The PA negotiator, meanwhile, said Netanyahu agreed that as a gesture to restart talks, Israel will enact a temporary freeze on all Jewish construction in the West Bank outside the main settlement blocs. According to Israeli sources, such a freeze has largely already been in place for several months now anyway.
The negotiator warned that one of the toughest issues centers on control of water, with Kerry already reaching out to Turkey about the prospect of selling water at a cheaper rate to a future Palestinian state.

New This Month---If Eric Says Its So, Its Probably So.
"Don's book is an invaluable resource in locating the numerous monuments that exist on the Gettysburg Battlefield. It's the easiest guide to use, as it has a great index and the numerous maps he drew are excellent. Even more impressive to me, is the fact that the book contains an accurate inscription of every monument on the field!" - Eric A. Campbell Park Ranger Gettysburg National Military Park
Crossroads of the Conflict: The Defining Hours for the Blue and Gray, offers the reader important information about the Battlefield that is not contained in a single volume prior to the release of this work. This book provides the factual recordings of the inscriptions on the monuments of the Battlefield at Gettysburg. These are the monuments that stand as a symbol to American's struggle to survive as a nation. Through this book the words upon the monuments come to life as a lasting memorial to those who died during this conflict. Crossroads of the Conflict, is unique. It is a chronological study of the monuments in the order in which the events took place as the battle progressed. This book can be used to provide the reader with a hands-on reference while touring the Battlefield by bus, car or on foot. It also serves to offer the reader an historical account of the significance of each monument, brigade marker and flank marker (left and right) on the battle grounds. In addition, the author has included numerous hand-drawn maps throughout the book to assist the reader in understanding how, the Battle itself, unfolded.
The story of the Gettysburg Battlefield is depicted on over 1,300 monuments/markers and 400 cannons that have been placed on the Battlefield throughout the past 140 years. The Gettysburg National Military Park currently encompasses 6,000 acres and is the site of one of the most visited battlefields in the United States. It is located in south central Pennsylvania, 50 miles northwest of Baltimore, Maryland. The Battle of Gettysburg was the largest and northernmost battle fought during the Civil War.
Donald William McLaughlin was born in the Bronx, New York in 1917. He spent his childhood on Long Island and eventually moved to upstate New York to work for the General Electric Corporation in the 1940's. During WWII he enlisted, serving as a civil engineer in the United States Military along with his 3 brothers, Robert, James and William McLaughlin. He married Shirley Glaesser of Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1948 and had seven children. He was a crucial player in changing the railroads from steam to diesel in the 1940's and 50's.He retired from General Electric in 1981 and moved to Gettysburg, Pa. in 1983 to become a Licensed Battlefield Tour Guide which he continued until 1997. McLaughlin was an avid photographer and developed his own photos. He was also an Amateur Cartographer. He published a number of articles from 1950-1980's in history and train magazines. His maps and photographs are in print in Gettysburg: Stories of Men and Monuments: As Told By Battlefield Guides by Frederick W Hawthorne. Additional maps are in Crossroads of a Conflict. He was a member of many Civil War Roundtables in the Gettysburg Area for more than a decade. Beginning in 1981 he mapped out the battlefield on foot, spending over 10 years locating every single monument that he could discover and chart. Through this work he developed the most extensive record of battlefield monuments available to the public.

I just received my copy of Crossroads of the Conflict. It is not your typical monument book. There are no color or even black and white photos of Gettysburg monuments, of course we have several of these references already. But instead a published "notebook" filled with information on all the parks monuments with sketchs of every corner of the battlefield. Donald W. McLaughlin, who died in 2000 left an detailed manuscript that his beloved family published. McLaughlin sketched the battlefield while a guide there between 1983-1997. This is a incredible reference source with detailed notes of every inscription on each monument as regarding the battle of Gettysburg. It is also in a format much similar to a 8x11 workbook, that you can add your own notes to and feel you are walking along with the late Mr. McLaughlin. I know I will be using this 304 page volume for my future Gettysburg book.

Trekking through Chelsea
Of course, there's good stuff to see in Chelsea: you just have to walk a little further. There's Kenny Scharf at Paul Kasmin, and the image shown is the painting I liked best. Laurie Thomas's Monkey Moves at Magnon Projects is a good stop. I also liked Wes Lang's take on the collision of Native American culture at Ziehersmith, but bring your reading glasses. I don't know what's going on at Pace Wildenstein, but some of the polished metal pieces are beautiful. Timothy Tompkins is worth a look at DCKT, and Joel Sternfeld's exposé on experimental utopias is on view at Luhring Augustine. Did you know that between 1810 and 1860 there were at least 600 experimental communities in this country? To this day there are over 75 cohousing communities and several functioning ecovillages, including those with more firepower than on the streets of Baghdad. If you don't like what you see, just wait a month and try again.

Many cultures trace their origins to the hazy horizon where history meets legend. In China's case, that blurry line occurs sometime between 2200 B.C.E. and 2000 B.C.E., when a legendary hero named Yu tamed Yellow River flooding and earned a mandate to become the founding emperor of the Xia dynasty, the country's first. That's the story according to texts written long after the fact, and many Chinese believe their civilization started with emperor Yu. But archaeologists have been unable to find convincing evidence for either the flood or the Xia dynasty itself.
The massive flood "provides us with a tantalizing hint that the Xia dynasty might really have existed," says David Cohen, an archaeologist and co-author at National Taiwan University in Taipei. The devastating flood could have inundated settlements even a thousand or more kilometers downstream, he says, and created chaos from which a new political order emerged. This sequence of events neatly fits the legend of Yu controlling the flooding by dredging channels to confine the Yellow River and its tributaries. This feat, the ancient texts say, allowed him to claim a mandate as the first emperor of the Xia dynasty.
The timing is curiously coincidental. Around 1900 B.C.E., Cohen says, Chinese society was transitioning from the Neolithic to the Bronze age. The date also correlates with what is called the Erlitou culture, which is known from palace buildings and bronze smelting workshops discovered near Zhengzhou, about 2500 kilometers downstream from Jishi Gorge. Many scholars have argued that Erlitou is a manifestation of the elusive Xia dynasty, but a link is not firmly established.
Science 05 Aug 2016: Vol. 353, Issue 6299, pp. 579-582 DOI: 10.1126/science.aaf0842
Outburst flood at 1920 BCE supports historicity of China's Great Flood and the Xia dynasty
Qinglong Wu
China's historiographical traditions tell of the successful control of a Great Flood leading to the establishment of the Xia dynasty and the beginning of civilization. However, the historicity of the flood and Xia remain controversial. Here, we reconstruct an earthquake-induced landslide dam outburst flood on the Yellow River about 1920 BCE that ranks as one of the largest freshwater floods of the Holocene and could account for the Great Flood. This would place the beginning of Xia at ~1900 BCE, several centuries later than traditionally thought. This date coincides with the major transition from the Neolithic to Bronze Age in the Yellow River valley and supports hypotheses that the primary state-level society of the Erlitou culture is an archaeological manifestation of the Xia dynasty.

Already heartbreaking images of grieving family and friends only become more poignant when you hear this:
Some family members and friends of the 239 people who haven't been heard from since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared Saturday say they've been calling their loved ones' cellphones and hearing rings — though no one picked up the calls.
Could those rings be a sign, they wonder, that the phones are still working — which in turn could mean that the people they belong to are safe?
Sadly, the rings are not evidence that the worst hasn't happened.
Technology industry analyst Jeff Kagan talked to us this morning about what happens when cellphone calls are made.
"When a customer calls another number," he said, "the carrier has to decide what to do next."
Basically, it starts searching for the phone that's being called.
While the phone company's doing that, it sends a ring — or two, or three, or more — to the person who initiated the call. The phone company does that, Kagan said, "so that the customer doesn't hang up" while the search for that other phone is underway.
This happens to him quite frequently, Kagan told us. "My wife will call me and say she heard it ring two or three times. But I picked it up on the first ring [that he heard]." She was hearing the "rings" that the cellphone carrier sent while it was searching for his phone.
How long it takes to either find the other phone or determine that it can't be reached depends on many factors. They include whether the person making the call is trying to reach someone whose phone is part of a different network and whether the person being called is in a different country. Such variables can add to the time it takes to either complete the call or disconnect.
When a carrier can't find the phone that's being called, any one of several things may happen:
-- The call might be dropped.
-- The call might go to the person's voicemail.
-- The call might go to a recorded message saying it couldn't be completed.
"There's not a standard way" that such uncompleted calls are handled, Kagan said.
Flight 370 was on its way from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing when it disappeared. The airline says 154 of those on board were from mainland China or Taiwan. "According to Chinese media," the Mirror writes, "19 [Chinese] families have signed a joint statement confirming they made calls which connected to the missing passengers but without an answer."
Kagan says he understands why grieving families might get some comfort from or be confused by the "rings" they've heard. But he wishes their expectations weren't apparently raised needlessly.
"I hate that they have hope" because of this bit of technology, he said.

A Kadir Jasin
(If you are commenting "anonymously", please state your name/pseudonym at the beginning and end of your comment. Thank you.)
THE ONLINE media reported today that a businessman, Shamsubahrin Ismail, had been charged in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court with two counts of cheating the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) Chairman, Dr Mohamad salleh Ismail.
The accused is the CEO of Shamsubahrin Ismail Resources Sdn Bhd. He pleaded not guilty. He is charged with inducing Dr Mohamad Salleh to pay him for his services and then duping the latter. The offence was alleged to have taken place at a restaurant in Bukit Tunku at 6pm last Nov 20.
Shamsubahrin was detained on Dec 21, allegedly trying to bribe several commercial crimes investigations department (CCID) officers probing the NFC business conduct with about RM1.7mil to avoid arrest. The reports did not state what had happened to his alleged attempt to bribe the policemen. Maybe that will come later.
His charging, however, should not diminish the importance and the urgency of the ongoing investigations by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission against the NFC for alleged misused of government funds.
The NFC became a controversy when the Auditor General, in his latest annual report, said the company had failed to meet its cattle production target and, it was later revealed, that it had made substantial investments in unrelated activities, including real estate.
It had since become the fodder for the Oppositions, partly because, Dr Mohamad Salleh is the husband of the Woman, Family and Community Development Minister, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil.
NFC had been given a RM250-million loan by the Government to turn the local cattle industry into a large-scale business and make Malaysia self sufficient in beef.

Through the years, I've watched designers share their work with a wide variety of decision makers in a multitude of situations. In all that time, one thing has been consistent—a successful outcome is 50% good design and 50% presentation. Sadly, there are few resources to help designers learn the second half. Plenty of solid design gets mired in debate and revision churn because the designer didn't know how to align the discussion with the audience.
I've begun formalizing the techniques I use to help ease the frustration of good design getting stuck. Some of these techniques, I shared at Leading Design 2016. It was a top notch event, and a great opportunity to try things out and get feedback. This first tool, is called the Decision-Maker Mindset Map. Its purpose is to build empathy for the power holders that you need to reach effectively. Feel free to use it and share your feedback about how it works for you.
How to use it
This exercise is similar to Dave Gray's Empathy Map, however it looks at information specific to the creation of a presentation strategy. You can do this exercise alone, but it's most effective throwing at least two brains at it.
The page is divided into quadrants with the person's name and role at the center. It's important that this exercise makes the decision maker not just better understood, but also connects you to them on a human level. Take each quadrant separately, brainstorming and listing the details for the key decision maker who you will be presenting to.
The Quadrants
Point of View
Describe the perspective that this person brings to the job and the meeting. This could include their primary area of expertise, their work history or some other formative details that shape how they approach the work world.
What takes most of their time and attention in their role? Do they put particular aspects of the organization or work ahead of everything else?
Definition of Success
How is this person's performance measured? Are there particular incentives that will have influence over their decisions? Are they rewarded for certain accomplishments by the organization?
External Forces
Executives often deal with events happening in the market, as well as your organization. Things such as restructuring, budget changes or strategies have a big impact on the decisions that someone makes about your work.
Where do you find out this information? Take the time to learn about them and get to know them. Casual hallway conversations, or an afternoon coffee break are opportunities to get to know someone. You can also talk to people who have worked with them before or have insight into that area of the organization. Feel it out, like you would do in a user interview. It's not spying or politics when you are genuinely interested in an influential person's view on the world.

1 1/3 pound ground turkey breast, (the average weight of 1 package)
1 pound white mushrooms, wiped, trimmed and sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
Black pepper
2 teaspoons dried thyme or poultry seasoning
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken stock, available on soup aisle, (eyeball it)
1/2 cup heavy cream, 3 turns of the pan
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons softened butter
2 cups grated Gruyere, (about an 8-ounce brick)

Cook mushrooms and onions 3-5 minutes, then combine the meat with veggies and season the mixture liberally with salt and pepper, then sprinkle in the ground thyme or poultry seasoning. Cook another 5 minutes then add wine. Deglaze the pan, lifting up pan drippings and bits. Stir in stock and bring to a bubble, then stir in cream and reduce the heat to low.

Manage files under version control
Add files to VCS
Open the Commit tool window Alt+0
Put any files in the Unversioned Files changelist under version control by pressing Ctrl+Alt+A or selecting Add to VCS from the context menu. You can either add the entire changelist, or select separate files.
If you have enabled VCS integration for your project, GoLand suggests to add each newly created file under version control (you can change this behavior in the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S under Version Control | Confirmation). If you want certain files to always remain unversioned, you can configure your VCS to ignore them.
Check project files status
GoLand allows you to check the status of your local working copy compared to the repository version of the project. It lets you see which files have been modified, which new files have been added to the VCS, and which files are not being tracked by Git.
Open the Commit tool window Alt+0
The Default changelist shows all files that have been modified since you last synchronized with the remote repository (highlighted in blue), and all new files that have been added to the VCS but have not been committed yet (highlighted in green).
The Unversioned Files changelist shows all files that have been added to your project, but that are not being tracked by Git.
Track changes to a file in the editor
You can also track changes to a file as you modify it in the editor. All changes are highlighted with change markers that appear in the gutter next to the modified lines, and show the type of changes introduced since you last synchronized with the repository. When you commit changes to the repository, change markers disappear.
The changes you introduce to the text are color-coded:
line added.
line changed.
line deleted.
You can manage changes using a toolbar that appears when you hover the mouse cursor over a change marker and then click it. The toolbar is displayed together with a frame showing the previous contents of the modified line:
You can roll back changes by clicking and explore the differences between the current and the repository version of the current line by clicking .
Instead of reverting the whole file, you can copy any part of the contents of this popup and paste it into the editor.
Delete files from the repository
If you delete a file that is under version control, it still exists in the repository until you've committed the changes. The deleted file is placed to the active changelist, and is highlighted with grey.
Select a file in the Project tool window, and press Delete, or choose Delete from the context menu.
In the dialog that opens, you can choose whether you want to delete this file without searching for usages, or to perform safe delete to make sure that you are deleting an unused file by checking the Safe delete option.
If any usages have been found, the Usages Detected dialog will popup listing them. You can view these usages and remove references to this file before deleting it.
Commit the changes to the repository.


text: This is the common crow over much of the U.S. and Canada. Most easily identified by voice, a familiar "caw," often repeated. Common in any open habitats, including fields, open woodlands, marshes, and cities, thriving around humans. Very social, usually seen in flocks, sometimes numbering in the hundreds or even thousands. Aggressive, sometimes seen chasing away hawks and owls. Separated from ravens by smaller size, smaller bill, shorter tail, and shorter, broader wings. Compare with Fish Crow, which is extremely similar in appearance, and best separated by voice. Includes the species formerly known as Northwestern Crow.

I wish I had a camera that can move freely in space.[...] that at any moment can go anywhere, at any speed. The play of pure movement […], vigorous and abundant. All this we shall be able to create when the camera has at last has been dematerialized". Only with this essential instrument shall we be able to realize new possibilities. [...]The camera is the director's sketching pencil. It should be as mobile as possible to catch every passing mood.
The camera must be equally as ready to move as to remain still. […] The camera has a human quality it is a projection of hand and eye, almost a living part of the operator, instantly in tune with his awareness.
I would like to call this new age of cinema the age of camera-stylo (camera-pen)[…] to become a means of writing just as flexible and subtle as written language.
