I'm a couple of weeks late in posting this, but private company Draken International earlier this month released a first image showing an ex-Royal New Zealand Air Force Douglas TA-4K Skyhawk flying in the USA in its new colours.
Back from the dead: former RNZAF Skyhawk flies again
By Craig Hoyle on 25 April, 2013 in Uncategorised
"The aircraft will be used by Draken to provide threat simulation, research and development and adversary support to various entities within the US military and defence industry," the company says. It's pictured here flying above two of the firm's Alenia Aermacchi MB-339CBs, which were also acquired from the RNZAF's former fast jet inventory.
In case you missed it, New Zealand is itself to soon give a home to some unwanted aircraft under a new deal, as reported elsewhere on Flightglobal by Greg Waldron last week. This will see Wellington take delivery of eight Super Seasprite maritime helicopters previously returned to Kaman by Australia, in a new SH-2G(I) configuration, plus two more airframes to be used as spares.

Nothing but blue skies… This rare satellite image of a completely cloudless Alaska triggered media debate this week on whether climate change and melting Arctic sea ice are to blame. The true picture looks more nuanced.
Release of the image (larger version) by NASA coincided with a heatwave that saw the mercury hit 36 °C in Talkeetna – 160 kilometres north of Anchorage – on 17 June, and record-breaking temperatures in at least three other towns. Yet just weeks ago, the state saw unseasonably late snow and cold weather, prompting former Alaskan governor and climate sceptic, Sarah Palin, to mockingly dismiss global warming on her Facebook page: "Global warming my gluteus maximus".
Meteorologists at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned last week that it is far too early to link the freak Alaskan weather to climate change. "The jury is out on any individual events and their relationship to specific long term drivers," said Deke Arndt, chief of climate monitoring at NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, North Carolina, during a routine monthly climate teleconference. "It takes time to connect the dots."
Unusual blockage
Earlier today, Eugene Petrescu, a regional NOAA scientist in Anchorage, told New Scientist that unusual blockages and deviations in the jet stream – the fast current of air that normally travels West to East across the northern hemisphere – are most likely to be responsible for both the cold and hot spells in Alaska.
When the jet stream turned sharply south, it trapped Alaska in currents of cold air from Siberia and the Arctic. More recently, it veered sharply north, bringing with it bubbles of warm tropical air from the south, resulting in the current Alaskan heatwave. "It's eased a bit, but it's going to happen again next week," says Petrescu.
As to whether global warming is what is causing the jet stream to deviate, Petrescu says there is too little data as yet. "Right now, we can't say yes or no," he says.
Ice shrinking
But Petrescu said that global warming and the rapid melting of Arctic ice is definitely having an impact on Alaska's ice cover, particularly in the north, where average annual temperatures rose by 1.7 °C between 2000 and 2010.
"Each summer, the main Arctic ice pack has been melting back, and now by each autumn there's less than 50 per cent of what was there historically," he says.
The result in Alaska is that the ice that borders the north of the state for most of the year is absent for a month longer in summer, re-forming in November rather than October. The delayed freezing is blamed on higher sea-surface temperatures.
Correction: When this article was first posted it attributed a 36 °C temperature to Anchorage, rather than the still more surprising Talkeetna

Dear Families,
I want to thank you all for a wonderful year! It has been a privilege teaching the city's best and brightest first graders! Special thanks to all of the families who came out to Yards Park the last day of school to celebrate our year together in first grade. It was a great way to end the school year! I absolutely love my class calendar and all the beautiful end-of-year cards and gifts. I'm going to miss seeing you all next fall, but I promise I will be around as often as I can!
I know that many of you have big plans for the summer, however, I want to encourage you to incorporate some academic review to keep your child's skills fresh for second grade. Fortunately, we have a few resources to help make your summer fun and learning-filled!
As you know, reading is one of the most important skills for kids to practice over the summer. At the bottom of this page I have listed the Brent Recommended Summer Reading list for Preschool through first grade as well as possible Reading Response topics. Please support your child in recording his/her summer reading at the Brent On-Line Reading log: http://tinyurl.com/

In A Tramp Abroad, Mark Twain's unofficial sequel to The Innocents Abroad, the author records his hilarious and diverse observations and insights while on a fifteen-month walking trip through Central Europe and the Alps. "Here you have Twain's inimitable mix," writes Dave Eggers in his Introduction, "of the folksy and the effortlessly erudite, his unshakable good sense and his legendary wit, his knack for the easy relation of a perfect anecdote, and some achingly beautiful nature writing."This Modern Library Paperback Classic reproduces the text of the first American edition and features new explanatory notes and a critical Afterword by Kerry Driscoll, professor of English at Saint Joseph College in Connecticut.
"[A Tramp Abroad] is delicious, whether you open it at the sojourn in Heidelberg, or the voyage down the Neckar on a raft, or mountaineering in Switzerland, or the excursion beyond the Alps into Italy." —William Dean Howells

As posted in the MetClub (Official Metallica fanclub):
Quentin Tarantino has said in interviews that for the 'Kill Bill Volume 1 (2003): Chapter Five- Show Down at House of Blue Leaves'
scene with 'The Crazy 88's' he was going to have a heavy metal song during the fighting. The RZA said in an interview that
Metallica had done a piece for that scene, but obviously Tarantino opted for The RZA's tune.
Tarantino makes no secret of the fact that he borrows and pays homage to Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone pretty heavily in his
films, and what more suitable a song for Metallica to play in this scene than Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold", a song from
Sergio Leone's 1966 film "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" which plays before each Metallica concert.
I don't know all this for certain, it just seems to fit. This is the first video I've made so everything might not be perfect,
but in all it looks and sounds right.

Wow — was sounding great! Maybe light it and only smoke it to the half?
All good buzzwords, e.g., "buzz," hazelnut, coffee, cedar, spice…
Plus it does *look* neat, and has that Jamaican cachet… maybe good for handing out?
DJ, there's no doubt in my mind this is one of my favorite cigars for the first 1/3rd… then blah.
Also, I just wanted to re-iterate… this cigar got me ripped! More so than Camachos I've had in the past.
Interesting review, sounded like my kind of cigar, for the first half. Keep up the great work.
I have found that this Jamaican smoke just fine all the way through not as good as the original Jamaican but will do

Ok, long post here. Consider yourself warned. Maybe I should make this into a 50 page iBook.
As of Mac OSX Lion, Apple's iCloud service is still a bit on the raw side, and it can be pretty painful to get it working with any sophistication across multiple iOS devices and Macs. Since it took me way too long to get things working for me, here's a post on how to set things up so that you can share some info across a family without sharing absolutely everything.
One advantage to what I'm about to describe is that far less data will be stored in each iCloud account, and should let everyone in your family stay under the 5GB free iCloud account size.
the problem
iCal: I want different calendars for each person in our family, plus "Other" and "Family." Easy enough in iCal; working for years. But I want all of my family's Apple devices to be able to see/edit our overlapping calendars. Each person will be able to edit their calendar on any of our devices, and they'll all stay in sync through iCloud.
Address Book: my wife and I have a large address book of family and friends. Most of this is "shared address book," and I want this data to show up on all of our iOS and Mac accounts. However, it'd be great to be able to have our own additions that aren't shared (my biz contacts, her old boyfriends, etc.), and of course we want our kids to have a different Address Book with their friends, while still having access to the shared family and friends email and phone numbers. This part is way too complicated in iCloud currently, since in Lion there's no "Share this Group" or "Share this Address Book" like there is with iCal.
iTunes: we want to share purchases among some or all of us. Books, movies, etc. Easy enough, since you can log into iTunes with a different Apple ID than the ones you use for iCloud in general. There are lots of references to this on the web. Note that it's all or nothing. I don't know of a way to share purchased Books with Person A but purchased music with Person B. In my house, I share all iTunes purchases with my wife and younger son (since we buy his apps for him), and share Kindle purchases with my older son (since we read similar stuff). The older son has his own iTunes account for his app purchases, which is a disadvantage in that he ends up re-purchasing some stuff.
Documents, Bookmarks: those, we don't want to share. We each want our own iCloud syncing for those, just for our devices or login IDs.
Ok, that's what I want to do. Now let's get it done. Apple doesn't make this quite straightforward enough, and in fact there are caveats I had to work around (weird side effects and bugs). I'll just jump to how I solved the situation, so you don't have to mess around with the non-workable solutions.
beware! there be dragons here!
Be a bit careful if you find yourself deleting existing accounts from your Mac. The alerts in Lion are pretty good about telling you what's going on, but it's best if you take your time and read them if you're inexperienced. You don't want to lose or duplicate data. The good thing is, when you've got iCloud sync'ing turned on, you're not really losing your data, just removing it from a particular device.
There's a worse problem that you can run into though, and that is Merging data. For instance, if Fred and Ethyl have copies of an address book rather than a shared address book, you could easily end up Merging two address books into a single master address book and have a ton of duplicate data. I suggest you avoid doing this, or else prepare to comb through the data and get rid of the garbage. It can be messy.
Either way, I hope you're using Time Machine to do backups to a local Time Capsule or an external drive. If so, even the nastiest problems can be recovered and fixed, though some of these problems may require a call to Apple tech support, since restoring an entire Address Book from a backup can be tricky.
multiple iCloud accounts on your Macs
The key to using iCloud to solve the family problem above is to create multiple iCloud accounts. The magic of course is in creating the right ones, and sharing them in the right way. Since every iOS device, or every Mac account has to have a "master" iCloud account, and only the "master iCloud account" on a device can do some types of sync like Documents, Back to My Mac, and Find My Device, it's important to set up an independent "main" one properly for each device. [Note: you can have multiple user login accounts on a single Mac of course, though not currently on a single iOS device like a phone or iPad. In that case, each Login account can have a separate master iCloud account associated with it]
Basically, we're going to create iCloud accounts that match each person, and optionally an iCloud account that has non-person data that's intended to be shared. Something like this:
- Fred's devices (your devices) have accounts that look like this:
- iCloud.Fred (Fred's master iCloud account)
- iCloud.Ethyl (Ethyl's master iCloud account, which is a secondary account on Fred's devices)
- iCloud.Shared (Optional. Shared iCloud data that Fred and Ethyl both edit but neither "owns." This may be useful if there are lots of you, as in a larger family)
- Ethyl's devices would then look like this:
- iCloud.Ethyl (Ethyl's iCloud account is the primary one on her devices)
- iCloud.Fred (Fred's is now a secondary iCloud account on Ethyl's devices) *
- iCloud.Shared (again, optional. Would be present as secondary iCloud accounts on both devices, as well as on the devices of their kids, little Ricky and Lucy, and the twins Ethanol and Methanol)
In the rest of this post, when I talk about You, I'm talking about Fred. And vice versa. Your name is now Fred. You'll need to do your own paperwork to have it changed legally. Different blog post.
Regarding the icloud.Shared account idea: I don't currently do this myself, but I might if I want my kids to have access to only a limited subset of our Address Book list.
* At the bottom of this post is an even simpler version, which will make more sense after you read through the rest of the post!
Since you'll be creating multiple iCloud accounts, you'll need to keep them straight. I did this by editing them on my Mac and renaming them things like "iCloud.fred" and "iCloud.ethyl" and "iCloud.shared" and so forth. You don't have to rename them like "iCloud.Fred" or some such, but you'll be much less confused if you follow a naming standard like that and keep it the same everywhere.
If you have already set up iCloud, you can make changes to your account or add secondary accounts, rename them, etc. If not, you can follow along below.
Do this on a Mac: go to Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars. In the screenshot below you can see I've got a bunch of accounts set up, including two iCloud accounts.
The first iCloud entry is my main one on my Macs and iOS devices. If you looked at my wife's account, iOS devices, etc., you'd see the second one showing up as the main entry for her (and mine as secondary). Just like Fred and Ethyl in the example above.
If you were to click the one I've named "iCloud.doug…" you'd see this:
Note I'm sync'ing Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Photo Stream (which I don't really use yet but what the heck), and Documents. Essentially, everything.
Here's the rub, though: my Calendar and Address Book (the ones synced into the iCloud.doug account) list basically contain nothing at all. The Address Book list only has one contact in it: my own. This way I can open my contacts list, choose myself and in the Card menu, choose "Make this my card." That's important, so that my devices will know who I am. On a Mac, that info appears to be used all over the place (login screen, IM name, etc.) so it's important that you have at least that one Address Book entry. You can add more, of course. I could put any me-specific addresses there, like my business contacts that don't need to clutter up our family contacts list.
Note the "Details…" button. Click it and set the Description to be something more than "iCloud"–as I noted, I use something like "iCloud.doug" so I can keep my various iCloud accounts easily differentiated. This doesn't change any functionality; it just helps you keep the iCloud accounts visually separate.
So this is now my main iCloud account. I could have set it up in Preferences>iCloud just as easily, but you can't set up the secondary iCloud accounts in that Preferences pane.
To reiterate: the important thing here is that your Master iCloud account (the one showing up in the iCloud preferences pane, and the first one you set up on your iOS devices) is yours and yours alone.
Now to create a second iCloud account. Back in the Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences, click the "+" button to add another account, and add another iCloud account. You'll need an Apple ID, but you can create one here if you don't already have a second one. This second iCloud account will be secondary for me, and primary for another member of my family. I'll call it "iCloud.marci" (my wife's name; you may be married to someone else for all I know. From my website traffic, most access to this blog comes from SpamBots in Russia. No idea about spambot love).
For that second iCloud account, you want to only sync the data you wish to share. Mostly that's going to be the Contacts list (a.k.a. Address Book), though it could also be the Calendar. In my case, all I'm sharing from my wife's iCloud account (on my Macs and iOS devices) is the Contacts list. And if I wanted us to have a separate shared Contacts list that neither of us 'owned' (family and shared friends, for instance) then that's the only one I'd be linking to as Secondary.
Make sense?
Caveat: since you can only do Photo Stream sync on your primary iCloud account, you can't take sync from Fred's iOS devices (for instance) to Ethyl's computer. In my case this makes Photo Stream non-useful, since on our main Mac, my wife's login is where we keep our shared iPhoto repository. So she can use Photo Stream effectively, but I can't. No big deal right now.
multiple iCloud accounts on iOS devices
This works just like on the Mac. Set up your iPad or iPhone with your primary iCloud account first (iCloud.Fred in this example, if you're Fred), and then go into the Mail, Contacts and Calendars and add the secondary (iCloud.Ethyl) accounts. Set up the "stuff to sync" exactly the same as you did on your Macs, and name the accounts the same way.
All of your devices and logins should look the same from the Accounts standpoint. They should all have your iCloud account as primary, and should all have the same secondary iCloud accounts, and all of the 'stuff sync'd through iCloud' should match (unless you want to go off road here and have some reason to keep some data off the iOS devices. That's fine).
setting up shared calendars
I mentioned earlier that I want everyone in my family to have a calendar, but that I want everyone to be able to see how their calendar events overlap. That's because we're a family and the folks driving (Fred and Ethyl) need to know the big picture.
There are several ways to solve this with iCloud. The easiest is this: define a person (Ethyl, for instance) who will "own" the master calendar. Then on everyone else's devices and logins, make sure that Ethyl's iCloud account is set up as a secondary iCloud account, and that you're syncing Calendars on that account. Then turn off calendar sync for your primary (Fred) iCloud account. The result should be that when you launch iCal (Mac) or Calendar (iOS) everyone will see (and edit) Ethyl's calendars. When you look at the Calendars list (there's a popup at the top left of the app) you'll only see Ethyl's iCloud account and her calendars.
But don't think of this as "Ethyl's calendar" as you're really just using her iCloud account to hold the data. There's no other special 'ownership' here. In any iCal account you can set up multiple calendars. Putting the whole family's into a single account is, for me, much simpler that spreading these out across multiple accounts. Here's how ours looks:
More about "_not used" later. Don't Panic!
In this case, I've also got a Microsoft Exchange account (from work) sync'ing into iCal. This lets me (or my wife) see my work calendar if needed, to avoid overlaps when scheduling family events.
But the important thing is to see that we've set up multiple color-coded calendars in a single iCloud account: Family (stuff we're doing either all at once, or with several of us), a schedule for each individual, and an "Other" category (other events, folks coming to town, etc.).
The nice thing about this is that each of us can check or uncheck (hide and show) these calendars separately on our devices. So my son B can show only his schedule and the family schedule if he wants.
Because iCloud doesn't care who 'owns' the calendar, we can all have this calendar as a Secondary iCloud account on our devices, and we'll all have the same access to it, sync'd through the cloud. In practice, I have the calendar on my wife's iCloud account, but I could have set up a third iCloud account just for the calendars and Address Book as I'd noted before).
Caveat: we can all edit the entire calendar. It hasn't been a problem, but if there's a "view only" method here so that Ethyl can see but not alter Fred's calendar, I haven't needed to look for it. There's probably something in Delegate preferences that would do this, but I haven't bothered.
finishing up shared calendar setup
The issue with the approach above is that iCloud.Fred (your account) can't have a totally empty Calendar. You need to have at least one calendar, even though you don't need to put any events in it. Above, you can see I named mine "_not used," and it's un-checked. It's literally not used.
This lets me utilize the iCloud.Fred account (or in my case, iCloud.doug) for the one thing that is unique to my calendar though: Reminders. I don't share a task list with Ethyl, I want my own. So as far as iCloud is concerned, I'm syncing two calendars (Fred's and Ethyl's), but the only data I'm putting in my own calendar is my Reminders (tasks).
I set that up in iCal by hiding the task lists that aren't mine (top right of iCal):
…and by making sure that any new Reminders go into my Reminders list using iCal>Preferences:
Caveat: iCal is kinda stupid at present with iCloud, and doesn't show the customized iCloud names. I've gotten around that here by naming my Reminders lists "Reminders-DSB" in a similar way that I named my iCloud accounts, so that Fred's reminder list is a different name than Ethyl's. Just helps to keep them straight.
another way to set up shared calendars
I'm no longer using this, but…
There's another way to share calendars, and that's to mark a calendar as Shared within iCal. You then "Subscribe" to that calendar on another Mac. This feature has been around for a while, and lets you share calendars either privately or publicly. I suppose you could use this to share some but not all calendars out of an account (as opposed to the method I shows above, which would share all calendars in an account). Frankly, I think the method above is more straightforward and feels more secure. Not sure if it is or not, but it seems easier to me.
To share a specific calendar in iCal (e.g. "Doug Schedule" in the screenshot above) is easy, as there's a Share option in iCal and plenty of documentation on the Mac or online about it. This is actually the first method I used to get my calendars shared, but I'm going away from it now so that everything's done through iCloud accounts as shown here. It's just more straightforward.
Why would you use this Share Calendar/Subscribe to calendar method? I suppose if I wanted someone else (my mom, for instance) to see one of our calendars, I could Share that calendar and then Subscribe to it on her Mac. I haven't needed to do this, but there ya go.
Contacts/Address Book
Contacts (iOS) and Address Book (Mac) (isn't that so non-Apple, naming the same things differently? C'mon, Apple!) have one caveat here: if you want to have more than one contact list, so that Fred has some contacts and Ethyl has other contacts, you need to know that the Contacts/Address Book apps will show you the set of both Fred+Ethyl, but when looking at "All Contacts" you can't visually tell whether a given contact is in Fred's list or Ethyl's.
Worse, when adding a new contact, it's not obvious whether you're adding it to Fred's list or Ethyl's. My suspicion is that you'll always be adding a contact to the primary iCloud account on your device whenever you're looking at a sum of both lists, but I haven't checked to see for sure.
At any rate, think about this when you add new contacts. Luckily, it's easy (on Mac, anyway) to copy these around if you mess up, by looking at the Groups view of the Contacts list. Then you'll be able to see the accounts separately and move contacts from one list to another.
I get around this problem because we currently only have a single contacts list, so in my Mac Address Book preferences, I tried disabling my own iCloud account:
BUG ALERT: However, when I did that, I found that the Mac was seeing only one user labeled "Me"–my wife, who had herself correctly labeled as "Me" on her iCloud-sync'd address book–and that was causing my Mac to call me "Marci" in the Messages app, in IM apps, and in the log-in screen, as well as using her picture instead of mine.
So I re-enabled the checkbox above, and made sure that her picture was correctly associated with her name (on her account) in Address Book, while my picture was correctly associated with my name (on my account) in Address Book.
Here's what this looks like in Address book, when you view all of the accounts:
I shortened the picture, hence the gray band. All of our saved Groups of addressees–invite lists, etc.–normally show there.
I'll need to make sure that any new addresses I add get moved over into the 'shared' address book (her iCloud account) if I want her to be able to see them. Since she is usually the one to add new people (she's far more likable than me) this isn't a big deal, and making corrections is easy.
In the future, Apple might make this easier to deal with. Let's hope.
finishing up: set up your iOS devices
Remember that I'd said that Fred's iOS devices should have the same iCloud sync settings as Fred's Macs (or Fred's Mac login accounts if you share computers with Ethyl)? Once I set things up the same way (same accounts in the system settings, same stuff sync'd in each account), I'm able to use my Calendars, Contacts and Reminders on all of my iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) just like on the Mac. I'm not bothering with screen shots, but essentially it's similar end results:
Fred's Calendar app shows the calendars from Ethyl's iCloud account (the dummy "_not used" calendar is unchecked). Settings on the iOS device determine what calendar new events get added to, so that's under Fred's control.
Fred's Contacts list shows the sum of Fred+Ethyl's calendars (or just Ethyl's if you set things up to have a single master contact list)
Fred's Reminders app shows only Fred's reminders.
how does this work with FaceTime and Messages, etc?
Just dandy. Since you/Fred has got your own iCloud account, use that one to register your account with FaceTime, Message, etc. and you're good to go on each device or Mac login.
Hope this helped somebody. It'll at least help me, next time I need to set this stuff up!
I'd love to see comments and questions. Have at it!
postscript: an even simpler setup
Now that you understand all this gobbledygook, here's a simpler setup you can use if you are mostly concerned about two people sharing data, and you're willing to have one of the accounts 'own' everything. This is the most similar to my own setup at present.
In this setup, Ethyl's accounts are the "main" iCloud accounts where the calendars and contacts are stored:
- Fred's devices (your devices) have accounts that look like this:
- iCloud.Fred (Fred's master iCloud account)
- iCloud.Ethyl (Ethyl's master iCloud account, which is a secondary account on Fred's devices)
- Ethyl's devices look like this:
- iCloud.Ethyl (Ethyl's iCloud account is the primary one on her devices)
- no other iCloud accounts are need for Ethyl's devices, because all of the calendars and contacts are already in her iCloud. That's what makes this one simpler!
So here, only Fred (and additional users like Ricky and Lucy) would need more than one iCloud account on their iOS devices. Ethyl, the data owner, would only need her own.

AS Kenya joins the rest of the world tomorrow in commemorating the annual World Aids Day, an occasion specially set aside to celebrate the achievements made in combating the deadly viral disease, a lot is still at stake if the zero infection target is to be realised.
While a lot has been done in ensuring access to life-prolonging drugs, HIV/Aids is yet to be wholly demystified to allow patients lead a dignified life, devoid of stigma.
Love or hate them, the gay and lesbian population is here to stay, and is part of the community that has continued to experience the wrath of a conservative society that is still grappling with the very thought.
"Why do we say pamoja tuangamize ukimwi (together let us eradicate HIV/Aids) and yet you are busy leaving out such a crucial group that is spreading this disease among people's sons and even husbands," poses John Mathenge, the national co-ordinator of the Kenya Sex Workers Alliance (KeSWA), a non-governmental organisation whose location cannot be disclosed for what Mathenge terms as security threat.
"It is not right to condemn homosexuals, especially if we want to get to zero status," Mathenge says.
UNAIDS is expressing optimism that 2013 will create the opportunity for the realisation of the beginning of the end of Aids, as more HIV positive personnel continue to be put on treatment, while efforts are being made to prevent mother-to-child transmission rates.
Back home, a minority group that has suffered in silence due to a harsh cultural environment that is more rigid to what it views as foreign concepts has broken ranks with the old order and is now vocal over what it wants to see being done.
Moving with speed to ensure equal enjoyment of the goodies that have come with the implementation of the new constitution, KeSWA is finalising tomorrow's plans of engaging in clean up campaigns, among other celebrations, in solidarity with other patients and victims.
Though Mathenge has remained cautious and tight-lipped on the exact venue for his group's activities, he says more people are beginning to gain courage to be seen in public and declare their sexual orientation.
"We cannot say where we shall hold our activities tomorrow, as this can lead to spontaneous attacks from the public that continues to propagate violence against us," he says.
An estimated 1.2 million Kenyans are HIV positive, yet only 400,000 can access the life-prolonging ARVs. Though no clear statistics exist on the number of HIV positive among homosexuals, the 2011 UNAIDS fact sheet, number of new infections in adults has gone down from a high 2.4 million in 2009 to 1.8 million.
The new constitutional order empowers the public to demand for their rights.
"I know the Bill of Rights has a requirement for everyone to access healthcare; the constitution empowers all Kenyans and treats them all as equal under the law," says Mathenge.
He is calling on leaders to exercise caution and restraint in their rhetoric, and is thus appealing to law enforcers to rein in politicians who propagate hate speech against the gay community.
Mathenge knew his HIV status 11 years ago when he went for Voluntary Counselling and Testing services. The devastating news was so heavy a blow to take, having lost two of his elder sisters under similar circumstances.
"The eventual stigma and discrimination were so tough for me to bear, given that I was being faced with three unfortunate scenarios," he says candidly, and appeals to the public not to stereotype him as gay. "Look at me as HIV positive just like any other victim, and then accord me equal treatment if we are to end this societal problem."
The three characteristics that define Mathenge include being HIV positive, gay and a male sex worker; traits he proudly says have strengthened his call to fight for the right and recognition of his peers as equal partners in accessing health and other services with fellow Kenyans.
"A group of us came together and formed an association of men having sex with men [MSM], to support one another and advocate for our rights," Mathenge, who is visibly busy throughout the interview, explained.
Flanked by three other men - two Kenyans and a foreigner - and scores of women who made occasional stopovers during the interview, Mathenge maintained his assertive stand on the need to recognise the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender initiative in Kenya.
With great multitasking skills, Mathenge remained calm as he attended to all of his demands; shooting a documentary with his colleagues, responding to both frequent interruptions for clarity from his peers and answering fielded questions about his initiatives.
Although there is no clear record of LGBTI community in Kenya, Mathenge says about 140,000 continue to perform their duties in Nairobi's central business district alone.
Out of the new HIV infection rates being reported, 15.5 and 14.5 per cent are by MSM and sex workers respectively; figures that Mathenge says can be minimised if more awareness is conducted among its members and beyond.
"Before condemning us and wishing that we never existed, take time to think about who our clients are," he says.
Numerous reports have pointed at family men who engage with male sex workers, with rising cases of homosexuals among the young age.
UNAIDS 2011 fact sheet indicates that the number of persons accessing VCT services have increased.
The former National Aids Control Council chairperson, Prof Miriam Were, says there's need for concerted efforts to fight HIV/Aids and realise a zero status of a disease that has claimed more than 30 million lives since it was discovered 30 years ago.
She says one of the ways of moving towards zero - the theme for this year's celebrations - will involve putting into effect the Abuja Declaration, which compelled all member states to dedicate 15 per cent of their annual budget to the health sector.
"Let us not ever get complacent, for as long as the problem is there, we are still at war with the scourge, and the acceleration to reduce the infections is needed," she says.
Were says one strategy that Kenya could adopt in fighting the menace will involve the use of people living with the virus in efforts to promote safe practices, awareness campaigns using the affected population and male circumcision.
Mathenge, who harbours political ambitions in future, is now making a passionate appeal to politicians to court them and support their activities.

A member of the security team from the Unite owned, Northumbria halls of residence, Manor Bank has been arrested on suspicion of burglary.
Northumbria Police revealed that after residents reported the disappearance of possessions over the Easter break a 24 year old man was arrested.
Three women, two 19 and one 18 were arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods, but were later relaxed with a caution.
It is thought that the items that went missing were high value electrical goods.
The Unite group charges £145 a week to stay at the Quayside halls of residence, which are protected by CCTV surveillance, with swipe card access and intercoms.
It is alleged that the front gate was not secure, and could often just be pushed open and that rats entering the building has become a problem.
A statement from Unite, who are Britain's largest student landlord said: "thefts from our properties are rare and while we regret that this unusual and isolated incident took place, we applaud the quick and responsible actions of the UNITE team at Manor Bank."
Additionally they stated "providing a safe, secure home for the students who live with us is our utmost priority."
Some of the items have now been recovered.
Residents are planning an end-of-year party with the fancy dress theme of robbers, rats and security guards.

Elizabeth Taylor dead at 79, Hollywood mourns
Legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor passed away early Wednesday morning, surrounded by her four children, ABC confirms. Rumors of Liz Taylor's failing health have increased over the last few weeks, so while her death of congestive heart failure may not come as a surprise, it is certainly a tragedy.
Taylor, born February 27, 1932, appeared in her first film at the age of nine after her beauty intrigued the chairman of Universal Pictures in Hollywood. Taylor was well known for her glamorous eyes -- a genetic mutation caused her to have two rows of eyelashes, which combined with her nearly violet irises gave her a striking appearance on and off camera.
She shot to fame at age 12 as Velvet Brown in MGM's "National Velvet." After appearing as Amy in 1949's "Little Women," Taylor began to transition into more adult roles, like the original "Father of the Bride" alongside Spencer Tracy.
Perhaps her most canonical role was in "A Place in the Sun," though she wasn't nominated for Academy Awards until the late 1950s, when she was nominated for "Raintree Country," "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," and "Suddenly, Last Summer." She finally won in 1961 for her portrayal of Gloria Wandrous in "Butterfield 8," and again for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" in 1967. In 1993 she received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.
Taylor was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2004, and her continued health problems led her to be a virtual recluse in the final years of her life. She was hospitalized in mid-February and closely monitored until the end of her life.
Taylor has been married 8 times to 7 husbands -- she married Richard Burton twice. Toward the end of her life she was rumored to have married a ninth time, to Jason Winters, but she dismissed the claims.
"My Mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love," son Michael Wilding says in a statement. "Though her loss is devastating to those of us who held her so close and so dear, we will always be inspired by her enduring contribution to our world. Her remarkable body of work in film, her ongoing success as a businesswoman, and her brave and relentless advocacy in the fight against HIV/AIDS, all make us all incredibly proud of what she accomplished. We know, quite simply, that the world is a better place for Mom having lived in it. Her legacy will never fade, her spirit will always be with us, and her love will live forever in our hearts."

We used to play board games with my parents every night and then later with my cousins we played canasta and poker.
Those were such a fun times. I don't play anymore :-(
These are beautiful desserts I love the strawberry hearts, so cute!
You should get a board game out and play it again. It really is fun. We had game nights on Fridays when I was a kid. One of the four kids got to choose their favorite game and we'd play while snacking on popcorn.
I love that my exchange students have enjoyed playing games as much as I do. They've even taken American games home with them to share with their families and friends.
Those are all so cool! Now I just need to find some people to play games with :)ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh! These are so cute.
I'd love it if you'd share your posts at my weekly link party, Manic Monday. Hope to see you there!

OPINION: 40 years too many for abortion

January 21, 2013 at 6:42 pm in The Daily Republic
An abortionist acts out the violence in the womb to end the baby's life.
Continue Reading
Today, as a woman and as a mother, I celebrate Roe v Wade. Keeping abortions safe and legal is important in the lives of women. Making them illegal will only push them into the back alleys forcing women to seek terminations in unsafe and dangerous ways and if one does not believe this will happen, one is simply ignorant of the past and what could become the future.
Moreover, the generalization in believing all women suffer emotionally after having an abortion is additionally ill-informed as there are many who respect their own integrity and knowledge knowing they made the best decision for all involved.
And finally, I become tired of hearing those who do not have experience in this area pretending to speak so knowledgeably regarding it. In this case, true knowledge and understanding comes when one "becomes" the person in said place rather than placing one's self in one's place. Until you find yourself a woman discerning continuation of a pregnancy or not, please be respectful of how you engage in the conversation.
PS. and none of this even begins to question the underlying issue: why are women being placed in positions having to make said decision? 1 in 6 women do not have access to prenatal healthcare due to poverty, which leads to a higher infant mortality rate. Should we maybe be seeking to make changes here? Moreover, America is one of the worst Nations in supporting women once they have babies. We receive 12 weeks of unpaid leave after birth compared to Norway which receives 52 weeks and 80% of her wages or Denmark where one receives 28 weeks and 60%..Maybe its time to act like we truly support the family rather than trying to make abortions illegal. Maybe just maybe, if women had more support such as the above countries, which by the way have legal abortions but many less than America, women would feel there are other options.

I would like to address some of the columnist's comments:
"Where is the outrage and disgust of the violence"- in some polls up to 70% of the country agree with a woman's right to choose.
"Hypocrisy best describes our government that calls it double homicide if someone murders a pregnant woman but it's legal to have abortions"-I have to admit I was going to agree with this statement so I had to look it up. Couple of things. A person is charged with double homicide if the pregnancy has progressed to the point that the fetus is able to live outside the womb. That's an important point because by the legal definition a fetus is not a person and has no rights…..that's why an abortion is not murder. That and the fact that a woman has a legal right to end a pregnancy. This also answers the "None of these children had the right to choose. Where is the outrage?" This is not the Christian point of view but it is of other religion and the Constitution does say that no religion shall be put above others. That also answers the question of "Where are our rights to religious freedom guaranteed under the Constitution."You do have religious freedom. If your religion forbids you to have an abortion, then don't but you can't put your religious rules on everyone.

Wrong again. The law which is controlling is the Federal "Unborn Victims of Violence Act". It makes no such distiction that you cite. It protects any child "in utero" and says nothing about whether it might live outyside the womb. It has been challenged numerous times as conflicting with Roe v Wade but has always been upheld as not being a conflict.
Here's section d: d) As used in this section, the term "unborn child" means a child in utero, and the term "child in utero" or "child, who is in utero" means a member of the species homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb.

Can I ask why you always choose to "attack" Mrs. McLaughlin? Other people are posting comments disagreeing with your opinion yet you only attack her? Do you feel most threatened by her? Do your insults make you feel "right"? You clearly have a defensive personality that very much shows your own insecurities. You voice your opinion, yet attack people who oppose it. Is there a higher form of hypocrite? Are only people who are as close minded as you and agree with your views allowed to post comments? If so definitely let us all know so we aren't disturbing your way of life. I mean that is what we are doing correct? By disagreeing with you we are disturbing the way you live and the views you have? Enough for you to resort to insults? What you aren't understanding about Kristi's first post is that she is not promoting abortion. She is not saying that abortion is good or that women should have abortions. However, she is saying that making abortions illegal is not going to solve the problem. I do not AGREE abortion should be used as a type of birth control, but I do believe birth control is not as easily available as it should be. Which obviously causes abortion numbers to increase. I also believe that, even though I do not agree with abortions as a type of birth control, it is not my place to keep a woman from having one. See Red, there are many variables that I don't think you fully understand. Rape being one that is brought up most commonly. A lot of people only agree with abortions if they are victim of rape. Understandable, however it wouldn't solve anything. You would then have women lying about how they got pregnant. Women claiming to be raped to get out of the pregnancy. Now I don't think I need to get into the details of the messes that would create. So do you ban abortion for all? And say tough luck to the people that truly were hurt? Another variable is medical. Is the pregnancy putting the woman's life in danger? I'm sure your argument is..is one life more important than another? Which to you I ask, is it? Are the lives of people on death row less valuable than the embryos? Even without these variables it still comes down to choice. The choice of the person who owns the body. Red we all can debate this forever but the truth is abortion is going to happen. Whether it is in a back ally that puts the pregnant woman's life in danger or safely with a doctor. The question we need to be asking is how we keep as many young women as possible from feeling like they need to make that choice. Keeping them safe, giving them the necessary birth control, and making sure they don't feel trapped to the point where they feel as if they need to hurt themselves to get out of a situation. Voice your opinion Red and we will keep voicing ours, but enough with the insults. We are all tired of hearing them. Have a good day.

This is interesting because I have heard these same people make statements about baby killers, murderers, etc… They believe their rights are more important than the rights of others and they are willing to fight for their rights while voting to take away the rights of others. Now we have a debate on whether abortion is right or wrong and both sides feel very strongly about their positions. In South Dakota making abortions illegal has been voted down twice by the majority of the people. But, the other side refuses to give up because they believe that they are right, they quote the bible, they quote people from nearly a century ago, and they use insults to weaken the opposition. It is difficult to accept that their views are not part of the majority. I voted for the right to choose and I believe in the right to bear arms that don't include assault rifles.

Red, which would you choose, abortions to be legal or for women that want an abortion to do them illegally and risk their health, lives or the suicide route. Issues like this should keep religion out of it. Furthermore, christianity was not meant to be religion. Some think sins still exist, but forget one critical item, ALL sins are forgiven. So, do as one feels they should do, be free, choose freely among yourself. Nobody should let others tell you what to do when it comes to one's personal health. If a woman chooses to have an abortion, so be it, there shall never be any wrong said about her for doing so. It's her life, leave it at that.

Good morning: You are correct, I do not "believe" in the bible because it is a book. I believe in a divine love that I choose to call God and I follow a Jewish sage named Jesus. (Jesus was not a "Christian" and I wonder how he would feel being called one.) I am ordained and affirmed by my denomination which put me through an ecclesiastical council and then voted to affirm my call. I preach love and accountability to one another, teach spiritual disciplines and biblical literacy without being literal, and sometimes have to say that the manner in which we are being community together is hurtful calling people to a higher level of behavior. I am among many pastors who believe in reproductive choice: http://www.rcrc.org/news/Pastorsphoto.cfm
Men and women who stood side by side knowing that sometimes the most loving action, while being a tough decision and one not taken lightly, is discontinuation of a pregnancy. I would then direct you to Joseph Fletcher, an Episcopalian priest and "father" if you will of situation ethics.
Finally, and this will be the last post on this thread from me:
For one to say that rape and incest is a smoking screen for women is one of the more terrible things said in this conversation. In my profession, I have heard many 5th steps and the amount of women who have been raped by family members is overwhelming. They do not seek help because of attitudes such as this. They are afraid, wounded and a piece of their soul is damaged in their innocence. Some of them have become pregnant and some have not. Some overcome their wounds and some do not. Some have babies and some do not. All are loved by God.

Smartimus, Nearly all pro choice people know that all anti abortionists are truly only pro birth, You have no care at all what happens to the baby once it is born or what living situation it is in or what the health condition of it is. You have no jurisdiction when it comes to issues if the baby has health impairments that will make it suffer for the rest of it's life, along with that the hardships, stresses on the parents only to have the child turned over to the state because the parents can't afford to care or deal with it. In such cases making taxpayers pay for this is wrong. Abortions should always exist for cases where fetus has impairments that will cause significant problems for the rest of it's life and to prevent parent hardship which often leads to divorce. You have no Idea how much the ability to an abortion can save the woman, her partner and the taxpayer. All anti abortionists care about is themselves, not how the public or how the woman as well as her partner wanting a choice wants. If you don't like abortion, keep your mouth shut, don't force others into your religious beliefs, dreamworld. Some religions do have a strong belief in pro-choice, so your anti abortion ranting is very against freedom of religion.

If it has severe health issues, then what?? those issues would have been found early in a pregnancy. Abortion is needed as an option. You can't have a baby, raise it properly if don't have the money, resources for it. much more so in cases of health problems. One example that'll be tough for you: Although Illegal, wrong in human society, do hear if it being done if a women couldn't get an abortion, but do you know that if any other animal does not want it's young it will merely leave it to starve.
You can't force someone to go through a pregnancy to attempt to raise a kid they don't even want in the first place, a kid constantly rejected by it's own parent it's whole life. That is what I call morally wrong, the wrong way to have a kid.

Abortion isn't only about cases of the health of the woman since I explained earlier, but also that of the fetus. In some cases there is a deformity or some genetic or other problem found during tests which does warrant the need for an abortion. For ones wanting a baby it is better and less stressful later knowing it would be a healthy baby than one with physical or genetic problems which parents or others can't handle. For ones that say abortion is always wrong are blind to the full picture.

Since we apparently agree that abortion should be rare, why is it that rather than remedy that situation, there is an effort to eliminate it entirely? You would think that all efforts to improve sex education, contraceptive services, and family planning services would be seen as efforts to reduce abortion. In fact, all of the above are under attack. Do you see the inherent contradiction in your viewpoint? Since we can not eliminate abortion because it will just go underground and kill many women, we should be doing everything we can to help women who don't want to get pregnant. You can not just wish away the facts about sexuality and hope that people stop having sex if they don't want a pregnancy.

You must also think of quality of life situations as well for both baby, parents. There are situations where Abortions are needed whether early or late. How many of those millions would have been in poverty, on gov. aid, welfare… A majority of abortions are from ones that can not afford to have kids. rape victims should always have full right to abortion.

Bat-eared Fox
The distribution of the bat-eared fox is divided into two populations, one from southern Zambia and Angola to South Africa, the other from Ethiopia and south Sudan to Tanzania.
This fox lives mainly in the open grasslands and grassy deserts of Southern and Central Africa.
Unlike most members of the canine family, these foxes eat primarily insects. Perhaps this is because their enormous ears are pointed out and down, and specifically adapted for hearing prey that live underground. They also have different teeth than most other canines; sharp, pointy and specialized for crunching insects. They can have up to 48 teeth in their mouth including and extra 4-8 molars.
Bat-eared fox often live in groups of two to four adults and will work together to hunt termites. While resting, they can often be seen grooming each other.
They breed annually and are monogamous. Young are born in self dug dens after a gestation period of 60 days. The average litter size is 2-4 pups. Newborns are sparsely covered with gray underfur and change to adult coloring in 4-5 weeks. Considered full grown at 5-6 months. Males play a larger role than females in guarding, grooming and playing with the pups.
Interesting Facts:
Sleeping during the heat of the day, bat-eared foxes also rely on their ears to keep them cool. Body heat escapes through the thin skin, cooling blood in their veins and thus cooling their bodies. Then as night falls, they become more active, digging for termites and other prey.
|Did YOU Know?
|The bat-eared fox communicate with each other in several ways including, a wide range of facial expression, tail and ear posture as well as some olfacory signals.

YIELD: Makes 8 to 10 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 50 min
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/2 hr
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Cook beans in 2 batches in a 4-quart saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes, transferring with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. When cool, drain beans and pat dry.
Toss squash with oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, then roast in a large shallow baking pan (1 inch deep) in middle of oven, turning occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 40 minutes.
While squash is roasting, melt 1 stick butter with vinegar and soy sauce over moderately low heat, whisking until emulsified, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
Push roasted squash to 1 side of roasting pan and add beans to other side. Drizzle beans with tablespoon melted butter and heat in middle of oven, uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
Transfer roasted vegetables to a dish. Just before serving, drizzle with Sherry soy butter and gently toss.
Cooks' note: Squash can be roasted 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before reheating with beans.
