It's that time of year again. It's Kwanzaa time. This time of year you may see articles that talk about Kwanzaa and encourage African Americans to celebrate it. You may see articles from some uniformed people who speak out against Kwanzaa because of a lack of understanding or research. I have done presentations about Kwanzaa for the past 3 years and have discussed it on various radio shows including my show as well. What I want to do is dispel some myths and total outright lies about Kwanzaa which is something very positive for African Americans to not only celebrate for 7 days but to practice the 7 principles of the Nguzo Saba for 365 days a year.
Kwanzaa is an African-American and Pan-African cultural holiday (not religious holiday) which celebrates family, community and culture. It's celebrated from Dec. 26th – Jan. 1st. The name Kwanzaa comes from the Kiswahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza" which means "first fruits". Its origins are in the first harvest celebrations of Africa from which it takes its name. Kiswahili, also called Swahili, is a Pan-African language which is the most widely spoken African language. Kwanzaa is celebrated by as many approximately 20 million people around the world.
Kiswahili is a Pan-African language which is the most widely spoken African Language on the continent of Africa and is spoken by at least 50 million people. There are an estimated 900 to 1,500 different languages spoken in Africa, but many distinct political units share a common or similar language (as among the Yoruba, Hausa, and Swahili-speaking peoples).

The Michael Imhotep Show and Follow Us
African Origins of Kwanzaa
"First Fruits" celebrations have taken place in African History going back to Kemet (Ancient Egypt) and TaNahesi or TaSeti (Nubia). "First Fruits" celebrations occur in Ancient and Modern African Civilizations such as among the Ashanti of Ghana and the Yoruba of Nigeria. We can also find "First Fruits" celebrations in large African Empires like the Zulu or Amazulu of South Africa and smaller societies in Southeastern Africa like the Matabele, Thonga and Lovedu.
In Kemet (Ancient Egypt) the festival was called "Pert In Min" or The Coming Forth of Min; among the Zulu it was called Umkhosi; among the Swazi it was called Incwala; among the Matabele, Inxwala; among the Ashanti it had various names, i.e. Afayhye or Odwira; among the Yoruba, various names depending on the region, i.e. Eje, Oro Olofin or Odun Ijesu. The Ashanti and Yoruba festivals are usually referred to as the New Yam Festival which is the time of harvesting the first yams. Even though these festivals have various names and are from different African societies or nations, they all focused around the harvesting of the first fruits and have similar values and practices. "The African American Holiday of Kwanzaa: A Celebration of Family, Community & Culture" by Dr. Maulana Karenga, pgs. 16-17
One of the myths about Kwanzaa that is spread by many African Americans who have not done their research is that Kwanzaa is a "made up holiday". They apparently have not studied the history of Christmas (no where in the Biblical text does it mention the celebration of Christmas or that Jesus The Christ was born on Dec. 25th), Easter, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, St. Patrick's Day, The 4th of July (4th of You Lie), Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc. All of the European Holidays African Americans have been taught to celebrate are made up holidays and some of them have their origins in "pagan celebrations" like the festival of Saturnalia and the festival of Mithra which help form part of the foundation of Christmas.
The cultural celebrations that Kwanzaa is based upon are older than the European Holidays that African Americans have been taught to celebrate.
What is Pan-Africanism?
To better understand Kwanzaa we also have to understand the ideology of "Pan-Africanism". Pan-Africanism is an ideology that African people around the world and throughout the Diaspora should be united. It deals with social, cultural, political, economic, material and spiritual aspects. Pan-Africanism teaches that the fate of African people worldwide is intertwined and we share not only a common history but a common destiny. Our future as African people is interconnected and intertwined. It doesn't matter who your colonizer was or is or what language your colonizer spoke or currently speaks. Pan-Africanism understands that African people are one people regardless of their religion, language, political affiliation, culture or geographical location. Pg. 11-13, "Pan-Africanism for Beginners" by Sid Lemelle
Some proponents of Pan-Africanism throughout history have been Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Edward Blyden, Prince Hall, Paul Cuffe, David Walker, Henry Highland Garnet, Timothy Thomas Fortune, Bishop Henry McNeil Turner, Alexander Crummel, Bishop Alexander Walters and Dr. W.E.B. Dubois to name a few.
When and Why Was Kwanzaa Created?
Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga and members of The Organization Us in the midst of the Black Freedom Movement. Dr. Karenga was a "co-founder" of Kwanzaa and not the sole creator. Members of the Organization Us were co-founders of Kwanzaa also.This is important to note because some people who have not done their research will try to discredit Kwanzaa by attacking the background of Dr. Maulana Karenga but will never tell you that there were other co-founders. This is a WMD (Weapon of Mass Distraction). Kwanzaa reflects a concern for cultural groundedness in thought and practice.
Dr. Maulana Karenga is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Africana Studies at California State University-Long Beach. He holds two Ph.D.'s. His first is in political science with a focus on the theory and practice of nationalism (United States International University) and his second in social ethics with a focus on the classical African ethics of ancient Egypt (University of Southern California). In 1971 Dr. Karenga was sentenced to one to ten years in prison for felonious assault and false imprisonment charges related to to the torture of female members of the Organization Us. He served four years.
Kwanzaa was created to serve multiple purposes and to address specific problems that African people were dealing with in America in 1966.
5 Fundamental Activities of Traditional African "First Fruits Festivals"
Many people are familiar with the 7 Principles of Kwanzaa called the Nguzo Saba but most African Americans are not aware of the 5 fundamental activities of Continental African "first fruits celebrations".
- Ingathering – A time of coming together or ingathering among the people to reaffirm the bonds between them.
- Commemoration – A time of commemoration of the past in pursuit of its lessons and in honor of its models of human excellence, OUR ANCESTORS.
- Celebration – A time of celebration of the Good, the good of life and of existence itself, the good of family, community and culture, the good of the awareness and the ordinary, in a word the good of the divine, natural and social.
- Recommitment – A time of recommitment to our highest cultural ideas in our ongoing effort to always bring forth the best of African cultural thought and practice.
- Reverence – A special time for the Creator and creation in thanks and respect for the blessings, bountifulness and beauty of creation. (What ever name you may call the Creator/Creatress, i.e. Amen, Amen Ra, Oludumare, God, Jesus (Yeshua), Allah, etc.) Contrary to popular belief by uniformed critics like Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Kwanzaa does honor the Creator/Creatress but it does not prescribe to a certain religion. For all practical purposes African people traditionally had spiritual systems as opposed to religions. One basic way to understand this is that spirituality teaches you how to think where as religion tells you what to think. We also have to keep in mind that African people introduced God consciousness and Spirituality to the world. The first concept of a Supreme Being, deity or God came from African people.
7 Principles of Kwanzaa or the Nguzo Saba
One of the reasons why Kwanzaa was created was to introduce and reinforce the Nguzo Saba (The 7 Principles). The Nguzo Saba or 7 Principles focuses on the importance of African communitarian values in general, which stress family, community and culture and speak to the best of what it means to be African and the first people of this planet and the Indigenous people of the U.S. Kwanzaa was created as a very important way to introduce these values and build an appreciation for them. The 7 African Communitarian Principles of Kwanzaa:
Umoja (Unity) – To strive for and maintain Unity in the family, community, nation and race.
Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) – To strive for and maintain Unity in the family, community, nation and race. As Dr. Wade Noble has told us many times, Power is the ability to define and shape reality and have other people accept your definition of reality as if it were their own!
Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility) – To build and maintain our community together and make our brother's and sister's problems our problems and to solve them together. Many of us first found out about "Ujima" on the TV Show "Sanford & Son", Season 2, Episode 17 called "Lamont Goes African". Most of us remember this episode where Lamont adopted an African name and started using Kiswahili words, etc. Many of us may not remember him using the word "Ujima" and explaining to us what it meant.
Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) – To build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them together.
Nia (Purpose) – To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
Kuumba (Creativity) – To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
Imani (Faith) – To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents , our teachers, our leaders and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.
Is Kwanzaa a Black Christmas?
Contrary to popular belief, Kwanzaa is NOT a Black Christmas. Kwanzaa is not designed to be a replacement for Christmas. You can celebrate Christmas and Kwanzaa if you like or you may only celebrate Kwanzaa. In actuality the African American Church played a vital role in Kwanzaa's growth and popularity. African American Churches around the country, especially those rooted in Black Liberation Theology – churches like Pastor Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United in Chicago, Pastor Willie Wilson's Union Temple in Washington, D.C. or Pastor Frederick Haynes' Friendship West in Dallas – introduced Kwanzaa to their congregations and incorporated its principles into their sermons.
Other Elements of Kwanzaa
The greeting – Habari gani? (What's the news?) The greetings during Kwanzaa are to reinforce awareness of and commitment to the Seven Principles. It is: "Habari gani?" and the answer is each of the principles for each of the days of Kwanzaa, i.e., "Umoja", on the first day, "Kujichagulia", on the second day and so on.
You may also hear Heri Za Kwanzaa which means Happy Kwanzaa.
The Kinara (The Candle Holder) – The Kwanzaa candles and harvest. This is symbolic of our roots, our parents, people and Continental Africans.
Zawadi (Gifts) – Usually given on the last day of Kwanzaa to children rewarding them for exhibiting the 7 Principles all year.
Bandera (The Flag) – The Kwanzaa flag is made up of the colors of The Organization Us which is Black, Red and Green. Black is for the people, Red is for their struggle and blood shed, Green is for the future and hope that comes from their struggle and the land.
Hopefully this helps dispel some myths about Kwanzaa and has enlightened you.
"What you do for yourself, what you do to yourself and what you allow other people to do to you is based upon what you think about yourself. What you think about yourself is based upon what you have been taught about yourself. What you have been taught about yourself is based upon everything you have read, seen and heard about yourself." – Michael Imhotep

The tendency for members of the House of Representatives to exhibit ignorance of the patent system, so amply demonstrated in the "debate" over H.R. 6621 at the end of the last Congress (see "Congressional Misunderstandings (Apparently) Motivate H.R. 6621"), persists in the 113th Congress. The most recent example is H.R. 193, the ''Seed Availability and 5 Competition Act of 2013'' introduced on January 4th by Representative Marcy Kaptur, D-OH (9th District, which includes Toledo). The seeming intent of the bill is to substitute government bureaucrats from the Departments of Agriculture and the Treasury for private patentees in enforcing patents on genetically engineered seed. In addition to amounting to a compulsory license, Rep. Kaptur has evidently never considered that, sometimes, the scariest sentence in the English language is "I'm from the Federal government, and I'm here to help." This is not surprising; Rep. Kaptur was recently elected to her 15th term, and her background is not in patent law or agriculture: her professional training is in urban planning.
The bill requires "persons [farmers] who seek to retain seed harvested from the planting of patented seeds to register with the Secretary of Agriculture and pay fees set by the Secretary for retaining such seed, and for other purposes." Specifically, any farmer who plants patented seed or seed "derived from" patented seed to retain the seed for replanting is subject to two requirements. The farmer must submit a notice to the Secretary of Agriculture of the intent to retain patented seed for replanting, (§ 2(a)(1)) and to pay a fee established by the Secretary and dependent on the "type and quantity" of seed that can be retained and "any other information" the Secretary determines to be "appropriate" (§ 2(a)(2)). The fee is paid to the Federal government (§ 2(b)) and deposited into a "Patented Seed Fund" established in the Treasury (§ 2(e)(1)(2)). The fees will be refunded to any farmer who can establish that, after paying the fees, natural disaster or "related" circumstances prevented them from replanting the seed (§ 2(c)).
The monies collected from the farmers is then paid to the patent holders by the goverment (§ 2(d)). The motivation for all these seeming legal and economic inefficiencies finally becomes evident in § 2(f), which provides that any farmer who complies with the provisions of the bill (if enacted) "shall not be bound" by any contractual, patent royalty, or licensing fees.
Not wishing to be considered un-American, Rep. Kaptur (at left) included in the bill a provision (§ 3) whereby the Treasury Department will collect a tariff amounting to the difference between the royalties or licensing fees imposed upon purchasers of patented seed in the U.S. and any lower royalties or licensing fees paid by purchasers of patented seeds in a foreign country and then imported into the U.S. Those tariffs are paid into the Patented Seed Fund, presumably for payment to patent holders who have negotiated the lesser fees in the foreign country in the first place.
It is hard to know where to begin. Clearly the political controversy engendered by the many patented seed cases brought by patentees against farmers over the past decade, and the recent kerfuffle produced by the Public Patent Foundation in its suit on behalf or "organic" farmers came to Rep. Kaptur's attention. And in some ways this is a classic "split the baby" result, where the government (and its sensitivity to political considerations) can determine the "appropriate" royalty for replanted seed and distribute it to the patent holders. The tariff provisions might also be seen as a boon to those patentees who were unable to obtain royalties or patent licensing fee abroad commensurate with the fees they collect from U.S. farmers.
But in reality, of course, the bill imposes a compulsory license on holders of genetically engineered seed patents, who have resisted the political pressure to permit farmers to replant seed instead of purchasing seed for each planting. Although this has imposed legal and public relations costs on these patentees, the patent grant permits them to impose these restrictions (unless and until the Supreme Court decides otherwise in Bowman v. Monsanto). But regardless of which side has the better policy argument in that debate, Rep. Kaptur's bill is not a remedy required by the politics or economics of the situation. Indeed, it would just impose another government bureaucracy on U.S. agriculture that would not promote either agriculture or technological progress.
The bill has been referred to the House subcommittee on Rural Development, Research, Biotechnology, and Foreign Agriculture for further consideration.
Text of the bill:
To require persons who seek to retain seed harvested from the planting of patented seeds to register with the Secretary of Agriculture and pay fees set by the Secretary for retaining such seed, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
This Act may be cited as the ''Seed Availability and 5 Competition Act of 2013''.
(a) REGISTRATION.—Any person who plants patented seed or seed derived from patented seed may retain seed from the harvest of the planted seed for replanting by that person if that person—
(1) submits to the Secretary of Agriculture notice, in such form as the Secretary may require, of the type and quantity of seed to be retained and any other information the Secretary determines to be appropriate; and
(2) pays the fee established by the Secretary pursuant to subsection (b) for the type and quantity of seed retained.
(b) FEES.—The Secretary of Agriculture shall establish a fee to be paid by a person pursuant to subsection (a)(2) based on the type and quantity of seed retained. The Secretary shall deposit amounts collected pursuant to subsection (a)(2) in the Patented Seed Fund established under subsection (e)(1).
(c) REFUNDS.—The Secretary of Agriculture may refund or make an adjustment of the fee paid pursuant to subsection (a)(2) when the person is unable to plant or harvest the retained seed as a result of a natural disaster or related condition and under such other circumstances as the Secretary considers such refund or adjustment appropriate.
(d) DISTRIBUTIONS.—The Secretary of Agriculture shall pay the collected fees to the appropriate patent holders, at a frequency that the Secretary determines is appropriate, from the Patented Seed Fund established under subsection (e)(1), taking into consideration the possibility of refunds pursuant to subsection (c).
(e) PATENTED SEED FUND.—
(1) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established in the Treasury of the United States a fund to be known as the ''Patented Seed Fund'', consisting of such amounts as may be received by the Secretary and deposited into such Fund as provided in this section.
(2) ADMINISTRATION.—The Fund shall be administered by the Secretary of Agriculture and all moneys in the Fund shall be distributed solely by the Secretary in accordance with this section and shall not be distributed or appropriated for any other purpose. Amounts in the Fund are available without further appropriation and until expended to make payments to patent holders.
(f) INAPPLICABILITY OF CONTRACTS AND PATENT FEES.—A person who retains seed under subsection (a) from the harvest of patented seed or seed derived from patented seed shall not be bound by any contractual limitation on retaining such seed, or by any requirement to pay royalties or licensing or other fees, by reason of the patent, for retaining such seed.
(g) DEFINITION.—In this section, the term ''patented seed'' means seed for which a person holds a valid patent.
(a) TARIFF.—In any case in which—
(1) genetically modified seed on which royalties or licensing or other fees are charged by the owner of a patent on such seed to persons purchasing the seed in the United States is exported, and
(2) no such fees, or a lesser amount of such fees, are charged to purchasers of the exported seed in a foreign country, then there shall be imposed on any product of the exported seed from that foreign country that enters the customs territory of the United States a duty determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in addition to any duty that otherwise applies, in an amount that recovers the difference between the fees paid by purchasers of the seed in the United States and purchasers of the exported seed in that country.
(b) DEPOSIT OF DUTIES.—There shall be deposited in the Patented Seed Fund established under section 2(e)(1) the amount of all duties collected under subsection (a) for distribution to the appropriate patent holders in accordance with section 2(d).
(c) DEFINITIONS.—In this section—
(1) the term ''genetically modified seed'' means any seed that contains a genetically modified material, was produced with a genetically modified material, or is descended from a seed that contained a genetically modified material or was produced with a genetically modified material; and
(2) the term ''genetically modified material'' means material that has been altered at the molecular or cellular level by means that are not possible under natural conditions or processes (including recombinant DNA and RNA techniques, cell fusion, microencapsulation, macroencapsulation, gene deletion and doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes), other than a means consisting exclusively of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, tissue culture, or mutagenesis.

SKOWHEGAN (AP) — A Maine man has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for the drug-related slaying of another man sitting in his pickup truck. Robert Nelson of Norridgewock was sentenced Tuesday for killing 60-year-old Everett Cameron of Anson with a close-range gunshot to the head during a drug transaction in October 2009. Nelson was convicted of murder in December.

Arguably the biggest gap preventing progress in treating chronic pulmonary diseases is the lack of a sufficiently sensitive, comprehensive, and non-invasive means to evaluate lung function. Until this gap is filled, patients will receive medications that don't work for them, and development of new therapies will remain expensive, slow, and largely unsuccessful. The long-term goal of our research, therefore, is to develop and implement a means to image all relevant aspects of cardiopulmonary function and structure, non-invasively and longitudinally. Our approach uses hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe MRI to image ventilation, microstructure, and gas exchange. The objective of this application is to optimize our recently demonstrated capability to image regional gas exchange by 129Xe MRI in human subjects, to use the optimized method to measure and understand resting perfusion heterogeneity, and to demonstrate the sensitivity of this imaging approach to detect changes regional lung function much earlier than currently possible. The central hypothesis is that regional gas exchange is the most sensitive marker of early changes in pulmonary function compared to available means. The rationale for the proposed research is that developing a method that can non-invasively evaluate regional gas exchange will dramatically accelerate research in pulmonary medicine by providing a more sensitive and specific measurement that can be used repeatedly. Thus, the proposed research is relevant to that part of the NIH Mission that pertains to improving health by developing and accelerating the application of biomedical technologies. Guided by strong preliminary data, the central hypothesis will be tested by pursuing three Specific Aims: 1) Optimize 3D blood-selective 129Xe gas exchange MRI 2) Establish image reproducibility as a function of time, posture, and cardiac output, and 3) Image the temporal evolution of regional gas exchange during radiation therapy. Completion of these aims will establish the utility, sensitivity and limitations of this new method compared to gold standards, while positioning it as a sensitive biomarker for research in pulmonary medicine.
The first aim i s expected to improve the current gas exchange image resolution 8-fold, add specificity for fibrosis, and establish the key MR physics governing the acquisition.
The second aim will uncover the key determinants of the resting heterogeneity of 129Xe gas exchange already observed in preliminary studies and establish their reproducibility.
The final aim brings these technical and developmental insights together to test the hypothesis that 129Xe MRI will detect alterations in gas exchange earlier than currently available means. The proposed approach is innovative because it exploits the unique properties of HP 129Xe MRI and an innovative acquisition to image lungs'most fundamental function - gas exchange. The proposed research is significant because the imaging method being developed is expected to provide a long-sought window on gas transfer into the pulmonary microcirculation as a harbinger of changing disease status.
The proposed studies will optimize and test a non-invasive imaging technique to evaluate the gas exchange in the lung on a regional basis. Such images could greatly enhance the sensitivity for detecting early lung disease and allow earlier determination of whether a particular therapy is improving a patient's lung function. The proposed research has relevance to public health because new tools for non-invasively evaluating lung function will not only improve patient outcomes, but will accelerate research to develop better therapies.

When Brad Drewett was chosen to run men's tennis at the end of 2011, some outsiders wondered whether the Association of Tennis Professionals had simply taken the easy option. A former player who had worked his way up through the ATP's executive ranks, Drewett was said by some to lack the intellect and the business know-how to do the job.
The Australian was executive chairman and president of the ATP for only 16 months before his death, but in his tragically short tenure he quickly dispelled any doubts about his suitability for the post. Having taken over at a time of rising dissatisfaction over levels of prize money, Drewett proved the most astute of negotiators and soon rebuilt bridges between the players and the four Grand Slam tournaments. The regret for everyone within the ATP was that his time at the top was so short. He died aged 54, having revealed at the start of this year that he had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease.
Tennis dominated Drewett's life, though he was also devoted to his four children and to Joanne, his wife of 30 years. He grew up admiring a remarkable generation of Australian tennis players and for a while there were hopes that he might emulate the on-court feats of men like Rod Laver, Roy Emerson and John Newcombe. His own playing talent was quickly recognised and he was soon given the nickname "Rookie". He won two junior Grand Slam titles and at 17 reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open.
Although that was the furthest he ever went in a Grand Slam singles tournament (his next best run was to the fourth round at Wimbledon in 1979), Drewett enjoyed a good career. A serve-and-volley player with a deft touch, he reached No 34 in the world rankings in singles, winning two titles, and No 18 in doubles, in which he won seven tournaments.
Unassuming and diligent, Drewett also talked a good game and went on to work as a commentator for Australian television. Several other opportunities opened up for him as he established and ran some successful businesses, including fitness and tennis centres.
However, it was as an ATP administrator that Drewett made his greatest mark. During his playing career he had represented his fellow professionals on the ATP's player council and he later became their board representative.
Drewett helped to popularise the year-end championships, of which he was tournament director for 10 years from 2001, and was the driving force in the ATP's International Group, which is responsible for the Middle East, Asia and Pacific regions. He became the group's chief executive officer in 2006.
China has been the biggest growth market for tennis in the last 15 years and Drewett played a huge part in the development of the sport there. Taking the year-end championships to Shanghai from 2005 to 2008 was a landmark achievement for him. Today the Masters tournament in Shanghai is the climax of a thriving Asia swing that dominates the men's circuit from mid-September to mid-October.
When Adam Helfant's departure as the head of the ATP was announced in 2011, Drewett's name was not high on most observers' initial lists of possible replacements. Once into the job, however, he quickly made his mark. Players had become increasingly dissatisfied with their share of the booming revenues from Grand Slam events and there was even talk of a boycott. Drewett led the way in subsequent negotiations with the tournaments, arguing that lower-ranked players in particular should be paid more given the high costs of competing around the world.
The four Grand Slam tournaments subsequently made big increases in their 2012 prize money, weighted towards the lower end. The trend continued this year, with Wimbledon, for example, announcing another 40 per cent increase. First-round losers at Wimbledon this year will earn £23,500.
Drewett also made progress in rationalising the tournament calendar, which is a perennial problem, impressing with his cool and level-headed approach. He understood better than anyone the needs and concerns of both players and tournaments.
"Brad was one of those rare individuals who earned the respect and admiration of his peers as a player and then kept it as he rose to the top of the ladder in the administration of the sport," a colleague said. "He was a warm and friendly man by nature, though that belied a very competitive but fair undercurrent. To me his most admirable and inspirational asset was his ability to work tirelessly towards his goals. Once he set himself a target he worked relentlessly towards it. You also cannot underestimate his massive role in opening up the Middle East and China. He was on first-name terms with many of the key political leaders in the region."
Having reached the pinnacle of his sport, Drewett was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, which is incurable, 12 months later. Typically, he carried on working during the search for his replacement. As recently as February he flew to Dubai to launch a celebration of 40 years of the ATP's world rankings system.
Players were united in their sorrow at his death. Roger Federer said he was "an amazing friend to all of us" and Novak Djokovic said he was "a very calm, composed and intelligent man". Carlos Moya, a former world No 1, described Drewett as "probably the best ATP president, the closest to the players and the one who has achieved the most for the players in the past 30 years."
Bradley Dara Drewett, tennis player and sports executive: born Maclean, New South Wales 19 July 1958; married Joanne (one daughter, three sons); died Sydney 3 May 2013.

Authors Wilkinson and Pickett work to enact the ideas they put forward in The Spirit Level on their Equality Trust website and its campaign for economic equality. Visit this site for blog entries and updates on their work.
Watch a video of Wilkinson and Pickett talking about the ideas in The Spirit Level:
If money doesn't buy happiness, as Wilkinson and Pickett suggest, then what is happiness and how or where do we find it?
If you'd like to seek happiness, Forbes has an article on the happiest places on earth:
"Denmark, Finland and the Netherlands rated at the top of the list, ranking first, second and third, respectively. Outside Europe, New Zealand and Canada landed at Nos. 8 and 6, respectively. The U.S. did not crack the top 10. Switzerland placed seventh and Belgium placed tenth." Forbes cites family, social connection, national economic health, and employment rates as prime determinants of happiness - supporting in some ways the thesis of Wilkinson and Pickett....

The Fanciest Mailbox We've Ever Seen
We can't get enough of Veuve Clicquot's latest launch "Clicquot Mail". Inspired by the brand's archived letters and documents, we think this mailbox champagne case set is the perfect gift for your summer hostess.
Two of our favorite things here at Town & Country are perfectly chilled champagne, and hand written notes. So we were thrilled to see Veuve Clicquot's latest case that is shaped like a modern day mailbox. Not only is the case adorable, but it also conveniently keeps a bottle of the brand's delicious yellow label champagne chilled for up to two hours. We love the idea of bringing this as a gift to a summer hostess, with a handwritten note inside, of course. Cheers!

Many a day I wondered about my plans for the future.
I was unaware that one day my attending would teach me how to suture.
My friends thought the stage would be my claim to fame.
Little did they know one day I would write doctor in front of my name.
I must admit I was excited yet fearful of such a prestigious call.
But then I remembered Jeremiah's teaching and decided to stand tall.
I knew this call would entail obstacles not yet known to me.
The first year I aborted the mission and almost decided to flee.
I began to lose all my fire.
I soon became flat as a tire.
Then a wise woman told me life is full of bumps.
She repeatedly said, "Son never give up".
I became anxious and could not remain still.
I then returned to do his will.
I realized my fear and doubt was a false alarm.
Finally, I stood alongside my peers and took an oath to do no harm.

Barcelona cruise past Athletic Bilbao as Fernando Torres brace lifts Atletico
Barcelona moved within a point of Real Madrid with a straightforward 3-0 win at home over Athletic Bilbao on Saturday.
Paco Alcacer, Lionel Messi and Aleix Vidal provided the goals to help Barcelona close the gap at the top of La Liga, though Madrid still have two games in hand.
Alcacer scored his first league goal for Barcelona in the 18th minute, tucking the ball inside the post after Neymar cut the ball back to him from the endline.
Messi provided the second from a free kick from a tight angle...

I was watching a video of some semi-related young horses (1-3 years) running in a rough terrain paddock, and all of the horses cross cantered several times, changing leads up front, but not behind; then changing back in the front. Is it normal for free running youngsters to do this so frequently?

Reduce Operating Costs with Bulk Bags
Bulk bag fillers are a very efficient, fast filling and economical method of packaging both agricultural and industrial materials. They can be designed to operate as either manual or automated systems. Primarily designed for agricultural and industrial usage, bulk bags are commonly used to package materials like fertilizer, food grains, seeds, flour, sugar, salt, animal feed, industrial minerals and industrial chemicals.
The Two Classes of Bulk Bag Fillers
There are two classes of bulk bag fillers: suspended "hanging" style fillers and bottom supported "platform" style fillers. Either style can be designed with a gross weigh (fill and weigh simultaneously) or net weigh (pre-weigh and fill as a secondary step) type of weighing scale. Most bulk bag fillers are fed by either a gravity flow gate (ex. slide-gate or butterfly valve), rotary valve or an auger feeder.
The Advantages of Bulk Bags
Bulk Bags Offer Several Advantages Over Other Types of Packaging. They improve plant safety by reducing the amount of physical handling required to load and unload the packaged material since they are designed to be moved by mechanical means (fork truck, pallet jack, or hoist).
Bulk bags are frequently used as storage silos, day bins for short term storage and intermediate hoppers in product processing systems.
Bulk bags or FIBCs (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers) are large woven polypropylene bags capable of storing and transporting the heavy loads of dry flowable bulk materials weighing up to 4,000 lb. (1,818 KG). Bulk bags are designed to take a high amount of abuse that would quickly destroy other types of packaging. There are several bag designs available: spout top, duffel top or open top and flat bottom, discharge spout or port-hole bottom. Bag Style selection will depend on the requirements of the application.
The operating cost per container is typically reduced when bulk bags are used. Filling, lifting, opening, dumping, and disposal of forty, 50-lb paper bags is in most cases more costly and time consuming than positioning and opening one single 2000-lb. bulk bag. Bulk bags can also be handled, transported and stored without pallets because integrated lifting loops are built into the upper corners of each bag further adding to cost savings and reducing the disposal costs of used packaging materials.
Additionally, bag capacity increases, the empty bag weight as a percentage of bulk material weight transported decreases. This means more material can be shipped with less packaging for the same cost. Bulk bags can also be positioned and stacked more efficiently to heights exceeding that of smaller bags, maximizing shipping container usage and storage facility space.

Structural Proof Theory by Professor Sara Negri
Book DescriptionStructural proof theory is a branch of logic that studies the general structure and properties of logical and mathematical proofs. This book is both a concise introduction to the central results and methods of structural proof theory, and a work of research that will be of interest to specialists. The book is designed to be used by students of philosophy, mathematics and computer science. The book contains a wealth of results on proof-theoretical systems, including extensions of such systems from logic to mathematics, and on the connection between the two main forms of structural proof theory - natural deduction and sequent calculus. The authors emphasize the computational content of logical results. A special feature of the volume is a computerized system for developing proofs interactively, downloadable from the web and regularly updated.

Traditionally in Greece, lovers used to exchange love messages written with pen on the Lacta chocolate's paper wrapper.
The packaging was changed to a plastic wrapper, so people couldn't use Lacta as a medium for love messages any more.
A mobile app using augmented reality allows people to compose messages on their smartphones and then send them to their loved ones. Old school love notes made possible with new school technology.
The design of this chair is 5 years old, but we're still amazed whenever we see it.

Deep black lines are printed onto the plastic sheets, which then absorb the light and cause the material to fold without anyone having to touch it.
The wider the line, the greater the angle of each fold, so it's possible to set, say, a 90-degree bend for a cube or 120 degrees for a pyramid.
Steven Soderbergh's new film "Contagion" was released in the States in September. To promote this, Warner Bros. Pictures Canada teamed up with microbiologists and immunologists from around the world to create a one-of-a-kind bacteria message board.
Two large Petri dishes were inoculated with live bacteria including penicillin, mold and pigmented bacteria and almost overnight have revealed the true Contagion — an artistic interpretation of the spread of a virus as depicted in the film.

Attractive short run packaging
Short run packaging today is becoming more and more attractive. Advances in digital printing technology, and faster make-readies on litho presses make short-run production a suitable solution for many marketing efforts.
Manufacturers can produce cost effective, short, versioned – even limited edition – runs, and shelf impact can be enhanced by coating and foiling technology developments.
See how you can benefit from this.
Merck has been leading a team of experts to a new way of testing the effect of their Iriodin pigments on screen and improving the costs of packaging development.
Merck teamed up with EskoArtwork ( and its Visualizer software) and SPY Brand Communication, a branding agency .
The virtual dummies created by SPY Brand Communication with this software are now on-line available in FACITs testing environment until Nov 2011 under: www.facitresearch.com
Now you are invited to make your own choice from the virtual dummies: have a look at and vote for the one you like best.
Hyper real visualization
Merck and EskoArtwork developed a library of Merck effect pigments in Visualizer. Visualizer shows these pigments hyper realistically in virtual reality. Visualize luxury packaging with a variety of Iriodin effects and other finishing effects on screen even before the actual printing.
SPY Brand Communication developed a series of luxury goods packaging in a virtual environment in only 6 weeks, ready for testing without a print trial. Packaging designs in virtual prototypes include an anti aging skincare, a boutique chocolate and white tea with aloe.
JoAnn Arello designed eco-friendly packaging for Chinese take-out. Focusing on sustainability, this packaging attempts to eliminate the need for a plastic bag.

Proper recycling can be a challenge: not all recycle information on packaging is straight forward or applies to where you live.
With that in mind, GreenBlue's Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) devoted to recycable packaging is launching a label system it hopes will clear up the confusion.
The Packaging Recovery Label System is comprised of five pieces of information for every unique and easily separable packaging component:

A Way To Water Younger Trees Continually Even Though Away From HomeMost people who have a green thumb are generally familiar with the assorted options available to little by little properly water indoor potted plants, or perhaps to be able to keep them happy when you're away from home on holiday.
From making use of ice cubes to intricate commercially made self-watering systems to DIY wicking methods to re-potting flowers with containers lined with throw-away baby diapers (seriously!) there's always new things currently being talked about on the plant and garden forums each summer around the time holiday time approaches. Currently, people that have a similar tender concern pertaining to the particular vulnerable trees in their landscapes will have similar alternatives by means of gator bags tree to set about the trunks associated with their freshly planted saplings and youthful trees.
These Tree Gator watering bags store in between 15 and 20 gallons of water. Prior to leaving for an extended period of time, fill these bags and put them close to the base of the trees. They are going to slowly and gradually discharge that water that they happen to they hold, supplying it directly to the root system within your newly planted trees. A significant gain is that most of the water will go precisely where you want it to be - there isn't any runoff. Trees stretching in trunk size from 1 to 5 inches benefit from having continuously moist (not necessarily flooded) earth to help continuously supply wetness. These round bags possess a crack which allows them to be positioned about trees with branches as near as 6" to the earth. Your bags happen to be brown and blend within the scenery without pulling attention to themselves. Quite a few working property owners believe it is useful to work with tree bags as their watering support all summer, not merely while away.

6 Essential Eats Before Summer Ends
In August, seasonal bounty is at its best, and talented chefs are turning these farm-fresh ingredients into delicious creations. But the clock is ticking toward the end of summer, and these dishes won't stay on menus for that much longer.
What's more, the calendar is filling up with must-do summer foodie happenings, most notably Beer Week, August 11-18, with its seemingly endless round of tap takeovers and beer dinners, culminating in a preview of the sold-out Bluejacket BBQ. There won't be time to recover before DC's Summer Restaurant Week tempts with bargain eating August 19-25, not to mention that the summer pool party season (think: Recap Sundays at the Penthouse Pool Club and the see-and-be-seen swim-and-sip sessions at the Capitol Skyline Hotel) ends anytime between Labor Day and mid-September. So get out your planners and get scheduling.
Finally, to help you make the most of mid-summer eating, here's a rundown on seasonal dishes that will disappear before you know it.

Time & attendance
Opening doors and collecting on-premise hours is just the beginning. Your workforce is your biggest asset and labour is your biggest cost. So everything counts – every day, every hour and every minute. For every employee, in every location, working from home or on the move.
Access control
Every work-space needs at least some access control. Conveniently, access control is the basic building block of every Time&Space system. You might start with just a couple of main entrances, but at any later time, you'll be able to develop complex access systems for as many doors as needed.

Skills for the 21st Century in Latin America and the Caribbean
There is growing interest, worldwide, in the link between education systems and the production of skills that are valued in the labor market. With growth stagnating and unemployment soaring in much of the world, educators are being asked to focus more on producing skills that feed into labor productivity and support the sustainable growth of employment and incomes. This timely volume contributes important new findings on the dynamics of education systems and labor market outcomes in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It analyzes an important recent shift in labor market trends in LAC: the first decade of the 21st century has witnessed a marked decline in the earnings premia for university and secondary education. This, in turn, is contributing to reduced income inequality across the region. The recent trend contrasts with the sharp rise in tertiary earnings premia that was observed in the 1990s and that helped to reinforce high levels of income inequality in the region at that time. The authors recommend that, having achieved very large increases in secondary and tertiary enrollment, the region should now focus on improving the quality of its education systems and the pertinence of education curricula for the needs of the labor market. At age 15, the learning achievement of the average Latin American student still lags two years behind his or her Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) contemporary. The study opens up an important agenda for future research. While the evidence presented on the trends in education earnings premia is clear, the conclusions about the causes and significance of those trends are largely based on suggestive evidence for a limited number of countries, and are not definitive because of data limitations. The findings call for further in-depth analysis of the nature of skill mismatches, to inform policies that can strengthen the region's future economic growth by enhancing the productivity and earnings potential of the workforce.
