opinionBy Carmen Nibigira
Burundi recognizes that the travel, tourism and hotel sector is a sector with huge potential.
Burundi has, with support from government, taken several steps to develop. This is being done through a regulatory framework with policies, marketing and incentives geared to heighten the profile of the sector as one of the pillars of the economy.
The sector depends heavily on manpower; it is an industry with a significant prerequisite on human interaction. Employment yielded across diverse demographics (young, old, and women, men, skilled and unskilled) through this sector is one of the best attributes put forward for its development in Burundi - as in other developing countries in the world.
Development of this sector requires serious understanding of the complexity of job creation, skills (soft and hard), as well as knowledge transfer in a country like Burundi that is developing its embryonic tourism industry.
Addressing issues of poor customer services in Burundi is obvious and the foundations of the sector are subject to crumble if solutions are not part of the development process. Hence, there is need for urgent action in this regard.
Unskilled and unqualified manpower challenges can only be addressed through a variety of measures taken from public and private stakeholders working together in synergy. It is beginning to be recognized that human capital development for the tourism sector in Burundi will have to come from improved, Government funded education, supported by the private sector as a key player.
No one can dispute the fact that well-developed foundations are a prerequisite for positive effective development; the same rules apply to the tourism and hospitality sector. Minimizing unemployment, stimulating skills and knowledge is a mission embedded in plans of a post conflict country like Burundi. The tourism and hospitality industry is geared to offer medium to long term sustainable solutions to future challenges.
Since 2008, the government of Burundi has been committed to the development of tourism, viewing it as a strong economic pillar of sustainable development, presenting in different shapes and forms, from heavy investment like infrastructure to soft investment regarded as skills.
The demanding question for Burundi is how to address the severe lack of skilled and professional manpower. Therefore, the tourism and hotel industry requires the vital ingredient of significant investment to develop human resources.
It is surprising to see that a nicely built hotel in Bujumbura has been focusing heavily on developing infrastructures to serve customers, but forgetting that the essential cup of tea still needs to be served. Essentially, the menu that pleases the customer is the one than gives service with a smile.
This particular sector of tourism and hotel strikes the cord when the customer receives what he expects. Failure to recognize that serious and efficient investment in this area of customer service is a profound error of judgment.
Here, the narrative shifts from human resources in the generic sense, to one of more "basic" human capital accounted for in the balance sheet and budget. The notion of brushing up on the soft and hard skills has to be engrained in the culture of those investing in the sector. The not infrequent perception that skills are highly subjective and relative calls for serious discussion.
Many jobs in the Tourism industry can be executed without too much of training needed. However this is not the case with regard to those jobs which yield benefits. For example qualified Chefs, trained marketing staff, exemplary tour guides and customer service agents are not born with the skills; enhancement and professional training is the essential.
Notwithstanding these truths, the industry in Burundi is evolving. The manner and conditions in which people deliver tourism services in many respects have remained timeless, but there is significant positive change.
The fact that tourism work remains menial and under-valued in Burundi reflects the investment and resources allocated to addressing the gap between the shortage of skilled manpower and customer services.
Some contradictions are rooted in the perceive nature of the tourism industry having limited vocational and educational opportunities, as well as having a reputation for poor employment practices. Fueling this perception is the increase in low cost tourism services across the spectrum (aviation, tour operators etc..), which inevitably leads to low cost labor and the knock - on effect on product quality and customer service.
It is inevitable that we are less likely to see fundamental changes in Human resources and Development in the foreseeable future in Burundi if the course of development continues on its present course.
Therefore it is up to the stakeholders to conduct a skills-gap inventory analysis, with the aim of assisting in the formulation of a comprehensive national policy agenda for integration, coordination and implementation of tourism and hospitality education.
Collectively, the general advancement of qualified, trained and skilled labor forces is crucial, especially at this particular phase of development, given the rate of growth and future trends in the light of the potential that our country has to offer.
More importantly, tourism investment and development policy will need to be geared for dual purposes - hard and soft infrastructure - in order to facilitate and strengthen tourism.
I see Human Resources Development as a neglected area in Burundi In the field of Tourism and Hospitality. Human Resources Development is under-valued and at the same time a pressing issue which is proving difficult to grasp and incorporate in the priorities of investors and stakeholders.
Striving for better services in our hotels, our restaurants, our airport and travel agencies, is not something we need to ask for, it is the least they can offer.
Let Burundi raise the bar by talking about it and asking for better services, it is our right let our voices resound through our choices: who is worth our Franc, Dollar, Euro and Sterling? To achieve it, Burundi needs to push for dialogue on the need for manpower skills in the tourism and hotel industry.
Human resource is the lungs of tourism and hospitality. Without it, the industry dies.

MARION, Iowa Trev Biery said the right things, crediting his offensive line.
But those last 10 yards, with defenders climbing in vain on his back ... that was all him.
Biery scored the go-ahead touchdown on a bruising 19-yard run with 7:16 remaining, then tacked on an interception for the clinching score as Marion rallied past Maquoketa, 25-14, in a Class 3A District 6 football game Friday night at Thomas Park Field.
"I've got to give credit to the line, and I was able to find the hole," Biery said. "But I like to run people over, and I wanted to get to the end zone, so I kept my legs moving."
The Indians (4-1 overall, 2-0 district) moved into a first-place tie with Solon atop the 3A-6 standings. They did so after spotting the Cardinals (3-2, 1-2) a 14-0 lead.
It was 14-8 when Biery got loose. He popped through a hole, met contact and kept going. Multiple Cardinals joined in the fray, trying to wrestle him down, but couldn't until he was in the end zone.
"His yards after contact in the second half were amazing," said Marion Coach Tony Perkins, who picked up his 150th career win in 25 seasons 14 at Marion. "He's got great big legs, and he willed himself to continue the run."
Ben Kroemer's PAT kick put the Indians in front, 15-14.
After the teams traded punts, the Cardinals got the ball back at their own 15 with 1:56 to play.
Quarterback Blaise Waller, thrust into the role because regular Trent Bollman was out with illness, tried to make a play under pressure. But Biery stepped in front of the pass and returned the interception 27 yards for the score.
"The defensive line was amazing," Biery said. "I saw the quarterback was about to get sacked, and I made a read on the ball."
Biery added a two-point conversion, then the Indians tacked on a safety and won going away.
Marion allowed just 29 yards in the second half.
"Our defense has kept us in a lot of ball games," Perkins said. "After the Decorah loss (in Week 2), our defense has really started to fly to the ball.
"As a team, we matured a lot tonight."
The game was a defensive grind early, then Joshua Kirk scored a pair of touchdowns in less than a minute.
Kirk capped a 50-yard, 12-play drive with a 14-yard TD on an option play. The run came on the heels of a 13-yard sack by the Indians on second-and-goal from the 1.
On their next play from scrimmage, the Indians botched a handoff, and Maquoketa recovered the fumble at the Indians 10.
Kirk scored again on an 8-yard run to give the Cardinals a 14-0 lead.
Marion responded with a long touchdown drive, its only successful march of the first half. A couple of pass completions opened it up, then Biery reached the end zone on a 16-yard run and added the two-point conversion to bring the Indians within 14-8.
Biery finished with 153 rushing yards on 23 carries, and as Perkins said, many of those were after contact.
Marion is at Benton Community next week. Maquoketa hosts West Delaware in a non-district game.

It's been decades since 'Wicked Game,' but the singer still has a loyal following and cherishes being on the road
Chris Isaak & Silvertone, with Scott West
When: 7:30 tonight • Where: Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay, 2241 Shelter Island Drive, Shelter Island
Tickets: $85 • Phone: (800) 745-3000 Online: humphreysconcerts.com
'Wicked Game"? Or "Deadly Game"?
To hear Chris Isaak tell it, the filming of his ballad "Wicked Game" — one of the most sultry and iconic music videos of the early 1990s — evoked lots of goose bumps, but not in a good way.
Never mind that the only two people seen in the video are the hunky Isaak and the ultra-seductive supermodel Helena Christensen. And never mind that the two appear to be having a very intimate time, while wearing very little clothing, on a seemingly picture-perfect beach on the island of Hawaii's Puna coastline.
"You know, it's beautiful to look at," said Isaac, who performs here tonight at Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay with his three-man band, Silvertone. "And she (Christensen) was fantastic and very easygoing about what we had to do, which looks like we were laying in the sun and making love. But we were on a (hard) lava beach and the smoke behind us was from a volcano.
"The next day, that whole beach was gone (because of the Kilauea volcano eruption); we could have got killed out there really easily. We had to stop filming because there were balls of lava shooting up, 60 feet in the air. And you see that she has goose bumps, (which) people think was from me."
Not so, Isaak is quick to clarify.
"The (film crew) was throwing buckets of seawater on her to keep her wet and glistening," he recalled. "I'm a surfer, so I'm used to cold water. But she was freezing."
Directed by top fashion and celebrity photographer Herb Ritts, the video gave new life to "Wicked Game," a haunting Isaak original that sounded as if it was being simultaneously sung by Roy Orbison and Roxy Music's Bryan Ferry. The song was previously featured in director David Lynch's 1990 film "Wild at Heart," but the movie's R rating precluded it from being seen by MTV's all-ages, mass-record-buying audience.
"God bless Herb Ritts," Isaak said. "I remember when I looked at the rough cut of that video, I said: 'It's great. Just put more of the girl in and less of me, because I don't think MTV will play it (otherwise).' "
To this day, "Wicked Game" remains Isaak's only Top 40 U.S. radio hit. It was featured on 1989's "Heart Shaped World," the third of his 15 albums. Yet, if his days of radio airplay and doing arena concerts are behind him, Isaak is delighted at his career longevity. He has maintained a loyal following with his winning mix of rockabilly rave-ups, moody ballads and songs steeped in vintage rock, country and pop traditions that he performs with skill and reverence.
"I don't think there's any part of my job I don't like," Isaak, 56, said from a recent tour stop in Spokane, Wash. "I love being on stage, making the records, meeting people — I'm not shy! — working on my guitars and trying to fix my amp."

What is now Alloway was formally incorporated as Upper Alloways Creek Township by a Royal Charter granted on June 17, 1767, from portions of the now-defunct Alloways Creek Township. The township was formally incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. Quinton Township was formed from portions of the township on February 18, 1873. The name was officially changed to Alloway Township as of February 21, 1884.
Alloway is a census-designated place and unincorporated area located within Alloway Township.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 33.2 square miles (85.9 km²), of which, 32.8 square miles (85.1 km²) of it is land and 0.3 square miles (0.9 km²) of it (0.99%) is water.
Alloway Township borders Upper Pittsgrove Township, Pilesgrove Township, Mannington Township, Quinton Township, and Cumberland County.
There were 948 households out of which 36.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 66.8% were married couples living together, 7.0% had a female householder with no husband present, and 21.7% were non-families. 18.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 8.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.80 and the average family size was 3.19.
In the township the population was spread out with 28.1% under the age of 18, 6.8% from 18 to 24, 29.0% from 25 to 44, 23.8% from 45 to 64, and 12.4% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 37 years. For every 100 females there were 103.5 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 105.0 males.
The median income for a household in the township was $56,528, and the median income for a family was $65,132. Males had a median income of $43,839 versus $27,188 for females. The per capita income for the township was $22,935. About 4.5% of families and 8.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 8.1% of those under age 18 and 4.6% of those age 65 or over.
The Alloway Township Committee consists of Mayor Joseph G. Fedora (R), Edwin Masker (D) and Lester Sutton (R).
In elections held on November 6, 2007 for the open seat on the Township Committee, Democratic Party candidate Edwin P. Masker (618 votes) unseated incumbent Republican Douglas Lore (436 votes). Masker took office in January 2008.
Students in public school for grades nine through twelve attend Woodstown High School in Woodstown, which serves students from Pilesgrove Township and Woodstown, along with students from Alloway Township, Oldmans Township and Upper Pittsgrove Township who attend the high school as part of sending/receiving relationships with the Woodstown-Pilesgrove Regional School District.

The road, of course.
Sunrise is best, no cars whizzing by, the only sounds:
neighborhood roosters, songbirds, and the cadence of my footfalls.
Summer humidity thick and heavy– no matter.
Fair trade-off, that solid dawn air, to begin the day
alone and moving through the silence, blessed silence.
But any time of day will do,
any season, autumn's vivid colorburst and crisp breeze feeding different senses.
Always the accompanying rhythm, breath in time with pace,
solidly in my body and out of my otherwise busy brain, focused on
the route,
the run,
the time,
alert for the sound of approaching cars,
in this moment, completely in, for every footstep, as
the seconds,
the miles,
the strength pile up,
distance logged, head cleared, body strong:
each run evidence of how far I've come
how far I still can go.

The Congress of South African Trade Unions in the Northern Cape supports the striking farm workers in the Western Cape. Out unwavering support is as a result of the hardened attitude of the representatives of the employers. This is the real struggle against capitalist exploitation of the working class. We condemn the payment of a pittance by the farmers to the creators of their wealth.
We have noted that there are farmers who are willing to engage with the workers outside the confines of Agri-SA as they have seen the obsession of their counterparts with profit maximisation. It is a shame that farm workers work tirelessly to produce food that they cannot afford to buy from the shelves in the shops.
Agri-SA must stop hiding behind the international markets and food prices when they exploit their members exploit the workers. We wish to indicate that the crisis in the Western Cape is likely to spread to other provinces if not handled properly. Workers cannot be made to suffer the consequences of a failed system of capitalism while the capitalist bosses continue to enjoy the fruits of their toil that they are deprived of.
The forever loud Helen Zille and her girls are so quiet about the exploitation that is happening in their own backyard. Instead of reprimanding brothers and sisters in the farming community, she wants to pass her responsibility to the National Government. During the election campaign they will claim to be the liberators while they represent the exploiters of our people.
The intervention of COSATU and the alliance partners in the Western Cape in an attempt to resolve the matter should be commended. Our Federation has done, and continues to do work that Zille entail could not do which is testimony to the fact that the Western Cape is in the wrong hands. Our federation has provided real leadership in support of the farm workers.
We call on Agri-SA to put aside their arrogance and face the reality before more lives are lost in this situation. It is high time that the farm workers start benefiting from the wealth that they create by putting their lives in danger everyday in the farms. While we do not condone violence, we call on the farmers to stop provoking the workers by going into their communities to pick up the other workers in an attempt to divide the workers.
Workers must remain united and those that are sent to pick up the others must refuse because their lives are put in danger by those employers.

Third annual Anti-Bullying Video Contest sponsored by Brooklyn DA
NEW YORK – Kings County District Attorney Charles Hynes has announced his Third Annual Legal Lives Anti-Bullying Video Contest which will begin on Tuesday, January 22, 2013. Students in the fourth through ninth grades throughout Brooklyn are encouraged to enter the contest by submitting a video about bullying. The deadline for video submissions is Tuesday, April 30, 2013.
Bullying is a problem in schools and on the internet. It is intentional, aggressive behavior that involves an imbalance of power or strength, typically repeated over time. Bullying has a serious effect on its victims, often leading to depression, and in some cases, it may even lead to suicide.
"The goal of the contest is to raise the consciousness of not only children, but teachers, administrators and parents to the reality of bullying and how each of them has to step up and be a part of solving this problem", Hynes said. "If more young people were to take a stand against bullying, then the phenomenon would likely diminish over time."
Participants are asked to create a 90-second video that answers one of the following questions:
Videos will be judged on creativity and content. Students are encouraged to use music, dancing or pictures. To submit a video, students will need to upload their videos as a response to the DA Hynes Announces Anti-Bullying Video which can be found at: www.youtube.com/kingscountyda. The winner will serve as "DA for the Day."

What to do in Siena & Sights to See
Siena is a lovely medieval town, with the Piazza del Campo as its heart. We've visited Siena many times, each time discovering different streets and sections of the historical center, trying out new places to eat at.
What are the main things to see in Siena? The Piazza del Campo is at the very top of the list, but then you have many other choices as well! How about going into the Palazzo Pubblico, the red brick city hall that overlooks the Campo and visiting the Civic Museum? It holds a lot of treasures, including some of the most interesting, thought provoking frescoes on the role of government. How about climbing up the Torre del Mangia and looking down on all of Siena?
Head to the Piazza del Duomo and buy yourself a pass to visit the inside of the cathedral, the baptistery, the Museum of the Opera del Duomo from where you can enjoy another view of Siena, and the crypt. Inside the cathedral enjoy the beautiful pavement stories and the Piccolomini Library.
Enjoy the art of the Sienese masters? Head over to the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Siena, or the "picture gallery", for some more masterpieces by Duccio di Buoninsegna, Simone Martini and Pietro Lorenzetti, among others.
Also check out the Santa Maria della Scala in front of the Duomo. This is one of the first examples of "hospital" (as in hospitality) in Europe that welcomed pilgrims making their way to Rome. Today it is a museum and hosts many temporary exhibitions being held in Siena.

When the place down the street that my friend and I wanted to try was closed, we wandered back down to this spot and were immediately welcomed in by the bright open space and friendly staff. We opted to sit at the bar as the tables are a bit oddly placed through the middle of the room and that turned out to be the right decision. We got a nice view of the room and outside windows. The barrista was our server, pretty attentive when she wasn't doing *everything else* and she was kind enough to get my eggs as a side instead of the full plate offering so they would be cheaper since I didn't want their side dishes too. The cinnamon buns were awesome (we had two) and another waitress gave us bus directions. All in all, on our next trip to SF, I think we'll probably do this again.

Living in the neighborhood, I have eaten here several times. Tonight, however, I had the roast chicken and it was unbelievable. When my boyfriend tried to get a bite I stabbed him with a fork. Highly recommended (the chicken, not the stabbing).

My friends and I enjoy going to Cafe Divine. The price is reminiscent of 90s pre-internet-boom days, the service is personable, and the food is good Italian basic well-prepared food. Desserts are divine and MUST be indulged in. We live in the neighborhood, and we're picky about where we eat. Re: ambience, the cafe is nicely situated, clean, and has a good mix of people from both in and out of the No. Beach area, including some tourists. Cafe Divine has scheduled concerts, too-- lovely. All in all, excellent value and worth checking out.

"The Eyes of a Man"
If you ever can look into the eyes of a man dressed in blue,
It will make you wonder why he protects me and you.
He suffers from lack of sleep, the red eyes will tell,
Even missing a meal or two to keep us all well.
Years of tears sometimes built up inside,
From what he has seen, but thinks he hides.
Look a little deeper in his eyes and you could even see,
How he felt all the years he has protected you and me.
For all the times people have been rude to him,
For pulling them over, while out with their friends.
For the little girl he saved from a burning car,
While others just watched him from afar.
Not to mention, the bank robber he caught last week,
People never talk to him unless it's his help they seek.
For the drugs he has confiscated over time,
The people, he has saved comes to his mind.
The times he wonders at the end of the day,
Is it worth all this pain, for such little pay?
But, don't look unless you are willing to see,
He is a human being just like you and me.
He wears his uniform, gun and a badge on his chest,
Doesn't make him perfect just a grade above the rest.
For if you look real hard you will also see,
A man who you respect is who he longs to be.

Pardon the silly question, but why aren't we all getting these newsletter offers. I haven't received one for months.
Everyone who subscribes to it should be getting it. If you have signed up for it and aren't, I would check you spam filter on your e-mail as even if some newsletters go through sometimes it will catch other ones from the same company. If they aren't there then I would maybe contact Customer Service so they can look into it. The offers are to everyone though and are posted on the site as well so you are still getting the same offers on the same product whether you get the newsletter or not I believe you can also see the newsletter online but I can't recall where you go to do that off hand.

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)
You will soon see new signs at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints at major U.S. gateway airports, if you have not already.
The signs were requested by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and warn passengers about Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. The CDC says the first case of the syndrome was documented in the United States on May 2, when a traveler arrived from Saudi Arabia with symptoms. Another case was documented on May 11, also in a recent traveler from Saudi Arabia.
Here's a synopsis of the illness from the CDC website:
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was first reported in 2012 in Saudi Arabia. It is different from any other coronavirus previously found in people. We don't know where the virus came from or exactly how it spreads. However, it likely came from an animal source. All reported cases to date have been linked to the Arabian Peninsula.
Most people infected with MERS-CoV developed severe respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough, and shortness of breath. More than 30% of people with MERS have died. Most of the people who died had an underlying medical condition. Some infected people had mild symptoms or no symptoms at all.
The signs are going up at these airports:
New York (JFK )
Newark (EWR)
LaGuardia (LGA)
Los Angeles (LAX)
Chicago (ORD)
Washington (IAD)
Houston (IAH)
Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW)
Atlanta (ATL)
San Francisco (SFO)
Seattle (SEA)

WV Fans Wield Musburger, Webb Cutouts
Brent Musburger was in Morgantown, WV, on Monday night to call the Kansas-West Virginia game for ESPN. The Mountaineers' student section gave the veteran broadcaster a humorous welcome.
Two side-by-side giant face cutouts could be seen among the throng of students: One of Musburger and one of AJ McCarron's girlfriend, Katherine Webb, whose fame Musburger is largely responsible for.
So is Musburger trying to run away from the extra notoriety and criticism he's garnered since the BCS title game? Hardly. The real Musburger was a good enough sport to pose for a photo with the cutouts.
Let's face it. If you had "discovered" a beauty like Katherine Webb, you'd be proud of yourself, too.

Bodies in desert are missing McStays
Fallbrook family had been missing for more than three years
The family's computer history indicated an interest in Mexico in the weeks leading up to the disappearance, with Summer exploring Spanish-language software and someone searching about passport requirements for children traveling into Mexico.
A grainy surveillance video of the border crossing revealed a family of four that resembled the McStays walking into Mexico on Feb. 8, further bending suspicions in that direction.
San Diego County sheriff's detectives spent three years on an exhaustive investigation, fielding hundreds of leads and possible sightings, combing through the family's background, looking for possible enemies, and digging into business and financial dealings. And nothing.
By April, they decided their best and logical conclusion, while still unsatisfying, was the family went to Mexico on their own free will. The case was turned over to the FBI, which has more international resources.
With the new developments, San Diego County detectives and the FBI are offering their assistance and volumes of case files to San Bernardino County authorities to catch them up. What leads were followed, where they went cold, and what may have been overlooked.
"Our department is continuing to use whatever resources we need to investigate this crime and bring the individuals responsible to justice," Sheriff McMahon said.
Looky-loos and news crews this week trekked to the hard-to-find grave sites, just off Stoddard Wells Road in an area scarred by dirt roads. On Friday afternoon, a small crew of San Bernardino County jail inmates arrived to clear away leftover debris and fill in the two holes where the bodies had been buried.
When they were done, fresh dirt and rake marks marked the two spots, about 15 feet apart.
"We are going to find this individual, or individuals. I know the sheriff, the FBI, everybody wants to bring this to justice. And if it's the last thing I do, I'm going to...," said Mike McStay, before becoming overcome in a fit of sobs. "I just want to know when it's over."
Joseph's father, Patrick McStay, said he always knew in his gut that he'd never see his son again.
"This isn't a situation where all of a sudden my family's gone missing. This is a situation I've been living with for almost four years. I had to expect something like this was coming down the line," the father said from his Houston-area home.
He said the day he is dreading most is Wednesday — his son's birthday.
"I told everyone to just leave me alone. I'm locking my doors, turning off my phone. I don't want anybody near me."
Authorities are asking anyone with new information to come forward, even if anonymously. Tips can be left with Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
"Someone out there knows who did this, and all they have to do is the right thing and pick up the phone and call law enforcement," said San Diego County sheriff's spokeswoman Jan Caldwell.
"All you have to do is look at the brother's face as he gave his remarks today. If you aren't moved by that, then I don't know what would move someone. That was the face of agony."
Staff writer Debbi Baker contributed to this report.

A one-day symposium bringing together inspirational creatives from the UK and abroad to share their practice, process, ideas, and expertise with an emphasis on inspiration.
As promised, we'll be posting a profile each week telling you a bit more about each of our amazing Here 2014 speakers, and next up is one of the UK's hippest documentarians Ewen Spencer.
Here London is returning to the beautiful settings of the Royal Geographical Society on Friday 13 June 2014! The one-day symposium will once again bring together a vast array of the most exciting creative talent from the UK and abroad for inspirational talks exploring process and ideas across the art and design world.
Of all the speakers at our creative symposium Here last summer, BAFTA-winning animator Grant Orchard was one of the most honest. Grant spoke about the challenges of trying to find time to do fun stuff amid the personal and professional whirlwind and was refreshing and funny about the difficulties this poses. Most of the talks from last year's event are now live as we crank up the expectation ahead of this year's Here which takes place in London in June. We have already confirmed Adam Buxton, Nelly Ben Hayoun, Erik Kessels and Rafael Rozendaal and we are poised to unveil some new names shortly.
Over the last few weeks we've released a selection of videos from last year's Here to whet your appetite for Here 2013. We can now reveal our creative symposium is back, bigger and better. On Friday June 21 (hello, summer solstice) we're bringing together a vast array of the best practitioners and creative talent from the UK and abroad for a one-day, fast-paced festival of creativity.
It's been a whole week since we held our one-day creative symposium Here and to be honest we miss it already. Earlier this week we praised our incredible speakers to the high heavens but here also played host to some amazing live elements during the day.
Last Friday 500 people packed into the glorious surroundings of The Royal Geographical Society for our biggest ever event, Here. We decided not to overcomplicate things – invite great speakers, put them on stage and let their talents and insights do the rest, and the result was something pretty special – entertaining, informative and inspiring (even if we do say so ourselves!).
With only 24 hours to go until Here, we thought we'd give you a sneak peek at some of the treats we have lined up for the day. As well as providing a show-stopping schedule of talks from world-renowned creative practitioners, the Royal Geographical Society will be playing host to a number of live elements curated by us throughout the day.
It's well established now that in the socially-engaged world the way brands interact with their customers has changed, and there's no going back. But recognising this new reality and responding to it in interesting, innovative and effective ways are two very different things, and that's where The Rumpus Room comes in.
Some say designers are born not made and if so then the brothers Wouters might be an excellent case in point. The Dutch duo have long been favourites of ours here at It's Nice That with their shared devotion to aesthetic excellence. Job is better known as Letman whose illustrated typography will be familiar to almost anyone interested in the graphic arts. His quirky style has made him the go-to guy for publications as diverse as The New York Times, Creative Review and Playboy as well as fashion icons like Tommy Hilfiger and Dries van Noten and we also commissioned him for the gorgeous Nice screenprint that was released with Issue 5 of our magazine.
"Nothing has lingered in my mind like this" were the words of Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian's film critic, after witnessing Dreams of a Life, Carol Morley's groundbreaking 2011 documentary. Born from a self-confessed obsession with the story of Joyce Vincent, a young woman who was found dead in her London flat with the television still on, having not been found, or looked for, for over three years, this documentary was what made the world sit up and listen to what Carol wanted to communicate to us.
Graphic Thought Facility has long been at the forefront of British graphic design. Founded in 1990 by RCA graduates and close friends Andy Stevens and Paul Neale, it fast became one of the most influential design studios in the country, on a par with contemporaries like The Designers Republic, Research Studios and Barnbrook.
When thinking of graphic design studios it's customary to imagine rows of neatly arranged, neatly dressed bespectacled types hunched over Macs – minimal techno turned down low on the stereo – sharing the occasional joke about kerning. All are immaculately dressed. How else could design happen? It's a serious business after all.
We're obviously not saying that frieze magazine was poorly designed before, but have you seen it since Sonya got her clever hands and eyes on it? That ever-anticipated publication is like the Dyson Airblade of magazines – practical, timely and an absolute inspiration to all other designers. We actually interviewed Russian-born Sonya back in April about the complete re-design she did for Frieze magazine ("To put it crudely, I wanted for the magazine to be 'hot' in the grown-up way") and her tactile attitudes to design and print. What we got from speaking to her was a feeling of absolute dedication and tradition to her work process.
One day in 2002, after a feud with a former Big Brother contestant, Giles Duley walked off the set of a shoot and turned his back on music and fashion photography forever. Having worked at the forefront of the fashion and music press for the best part of a decade this was no small event – Duley had made his career photographing the likes of Pulp, Oasis and The Prodigy at the height of their fame. But he had other plans for his photographic talents, ones that would take him far from the London studios in which he spent his days.
As job titles go, "body architect" is so impossibly cool it sounds made-up. But Australian-born, Amsterdam-based Lucy McRae has made the term her own having fused her classical ballet training with her unique design vision to create work that straddles sculpture, architecture, science, and fashion design, manipulating the body's natural structure to invent novel anatomical forms.
The legacy of London 2012 will be hotly debated over coming months but forget the UK's new sense of identity, the embracing of volunteering or even world-class sporting facilities, for us there's one clear winner. Grant Orchard's Love Sport Game On animations have long been a great source of joy in their colourful, to-the-point celebrations of pursuits from ski-jumping to dominoes, but during the Olympics not only did Studio AKA re-release the original set but also four brand new films covering weightlifting, fencing, synchronised swimming and equestrian. Now even Seb Coe will admit that's made it all worthwhile.
When you're the go-to creative for a whole host of fashion brands and publications who are happy to give you the freedom to do what you do best, it's safe to assume you're at the top of your game. We're not really sure how illustrator and filmmaker Quentin Jones finds any time to sleep given the amount of great work she's been producing lately but our brain space is taken up with all the gawping.
Sir Paul Smith is not like other fashion designers. Despite being one of the foremost creative figures of his generation, he retains a marvellous personal touch, answering all the letters he receives personally and happy to open up his process and personality with a tongue-in-cheek humour that jars with traditional ideas of haute couture.
We are thrilled to announce that the multitalented and hugely influential British designer Thomas Heatherwick will be delivering the closing keynote talk of Here, our one-day symposium. He will join a stellar line-up of over a dozen brilliant creatives from the UK and abroad speaking about their practice and process, as well as sharing their insights and expertise, in our biggest event to date.
We are excited to announce more speakers for Here, our big creative symposium taking place this September in London's beautiful Royal Geographical Society. Across the day, expect insights, inspirational talks, experiments and live elements from over a dozen brilliant creatives. For this fast paced festival of creativity, we're bringing together digital innovators, prolific graphic designers, animators and illustrators, a daring photographer, a dazzling film director, a body-architect and a top-notch fashion legend, amongst others.
We've got some very tasty new announcements for Here, our one-day, fast-paced festival of creativity. We are very pleased to announce that Andy Stevens of legendary graphic design studio Graphic Thought Facility will deliver some design words of wisdom, followed by insights from in-demand, multi-faceted illustrator Quentin Jones, and talented brothers Job (Letman) and Roel Wouters will take to the stage to present an exciting exploration of their combined talents: from striking typography to interactive design, film and ideas generation. Adding to the mix of inspirational talks, expect some experimental antics from the one and only Bompas & Parr.
After the resounding success of 2011's In Progress and the fantastic talks by the 30 brilliant speakers involved in last week's Beauty in the Making, we are very excited to announce the launch of our creative symposium, Here, It's Nice That's biggest event to date.

I'm still going to be posting a detailed report this weekend in that thread and a write up about the bike, so stay tuned.
So far I can't be happier with the performance of the XT, it goes 70PMH on the street (I got it up to 78MPH on a dowhill) and it seems to do off road pretty well too (it's my first off-road bike so unfortunately I can't compare it to any other off road bike).
I bought the bike new end of September 06, and I have 1360 miles on it now
I come from sport-touring so I'm used to spending 12-20 hours on a bike, I've done some long days on this bike (only 8 hours) but it's not a problem for me, I think it's comfortable enough, although fast speed limits on straight roads are even more painful then on my crotch rockets, because I can't get on it and get through it quicker, twisty paved roads are still very enjoyable.
My favorite traveling speed on this bike is 25-45MPH. I'm going to do something with the exhaust, first I'll do the mod they talk about on the XT225.com site, but if I can't get more ponies this way, I might try an after market exhaust. I'm planning on adv-touring this bike, I think it will do the job well with some work.
On this last trip I had to ride paved roads at 15% incline, steep dirt roads and I've even been caught riding in 40-50MPH winds. The bike performed well, I was actually amazed. The only time it wasn't cooperating, was after sitting in the ran for 24 hours, it started but would die immediately if I didn't gas it, so I had to run it for a few minutes and give it gas manually to warm it up, the choke didn't seem to work when the bike was wet. Even after sitting outside at night in 20-30 degrees, it started right up the next morning.
Yes do the mod but I wouldn't recomend replaceing the pipe unless you like ALOT of noise. So you are roughly at sea level so here's what i would do... Drill the entire baffle out of the exhaust, more than enough extra air flow without being too loud. Get an after market air filter like the UNI. Do not buy K&N filters. Pieces of dookey. Go just one size up on the pilot from a 40 to a 42.5 Makes cold starting much easier and tames some of the leaness when you chop the throttle. Check your main jet. If it is a 130 you may want to leave it there but if it is a 125 then move up to the 130. Makes a huge difference. The book says you should have a 125 but alot of people found 130's in their carbs. Also get yourself a some really small electrical washers and shim the jet needle just a hair. You can experiment going even bigger on the main jet especially if you remove the snorkel as well but I found the bike to be too rich when the throttle was pulled aggressively. If you do replace the pipe though you will have to up the main jet more though as you will run too lean.
Those are pretty much the popular mods that I've read about alot of other people doing to their XT's and it has worked very well. Take into account though that the humidity in your neck of the woods and the big temp drop will have an effect on the results but should be minimal.
And to the other poster... The 05 xt my girlfriend got had a rimlock in the rear wheel stock

Dear Linux Users,
I am a WindowsXP Pro user familiar with the ins and outs on a using dos/installing/troubleshooting and buliding microsoft boxes"
I recently purchased a Playstation 3 to setup as my computer and installed Yellow Dog 6.0 on it. I have become fond of it and want to keep using it exclusively eventually ridding myself of Microsoft.
I am an Artist and I use a 42" HDTV with wireless mouse and keyboard. I was hoping this setup would aid me in editing my photography but I am unable to open the files on GIMP.
I use a sony a-300 camera and prefer to shoot my photos in the RAW file format. I am finding it difficult to find a stable software to compete with the software that came with it. (Sony Image Data Suite)
Can anyone point me in the right direction of a link/thread help section for this situation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for reading this.
(Also I am reading through the Doctor Linux Manual :) I am considering using a more popular Distribution vs the YDL as it seems new and a still bit undeveloped?

Some minor faults some places, but very good first draft. There's a few issues with the electric guitar, and the acoustic guitar seems off in the part before the electric guitar buildup.

What scares your PCs? I mean, what truly scares the bejeezus out of them?
RPGs are filled with scary creatures. As a DM, you have an obscene amount of riches when it comes to adversaries that would send most humans in the real world running in the opposite direction, their pantaloons a little less dry. In the relative safety of the gaming table PCs see these types of baddies day in and day out. At some point, players become immune to the scariness that is a dark creeper or an Orcus underpriest.
Even death doesn't hold much fear factor for PCs, most of the time. Sure, people can get really attached to their characters, but sometimes the excitement of building something new and shiny can prompt suicidal tendencies at worst, or reckless behaviour at best. This is a challenge to any DM who is building adventures three to four sessions (or more) ahead of time, based on the assumption that his current set of players will make it through in good enough shape to carry on.
In light of these challenges, it seems to me that this is where the great DM shines. When mechanics, tools and saturation leave your PCs feeling untouchable, context becomes king. Choosing the proper background music as your group investigates a haunted house, dimming the lights or going by candlelight as they delve into the catacombs of a long-deceased king, or simply using the proper words to describe a dark, foreboding forest can do a much better job of immersing your players into the environment.
Loss of control is another tool in your fear arsenal. As an example, the whirlpool trap in Keep on the Shadowfell was a terrifying experience for my PCs when two of them fell victim to it. For those who have never played KotS, a trap triggers a force wall and confines those stuck within to a 6×4 area as water rises to become a whirlpool. It thrashes the PCs against the walls, leaving them powerless to do much.
Luckily for my players, they figured out how to disable the whirlpool creating device. They looked relieved to have merely survived the encounter. It went beyond fear for their character's lives – they were having a human reaction to the loss of control in a given situation, and they felt vulnerable and more importantly – fear had shaken their confidence.
Here's one thing you need to be real careful about: integrating your players' real life phobias. My fiancée, who is also a player at my table, has a real fear of spiders. Sure, I could build an encounter full of eight-legged foes and describe it to a "T", hang Hallowe'en-style spiders over the table and make her truly uncomfortable. Is that the point, though? I'd argue that making her squeamish using something that really terrifies her would wreck the illusion, and probably make it a gaming session she'd rather forget. It's a fine line, I know. My advice: find the things your players fear, rather than things that make them uncomfortable.
How much does fear factor into your DM style? What methods have you used to instill fear in your players? Alternatively, can you share the instance where as a player you felt the most fear?
