Excellent 4.4 /5 from 309 reviews
Hotel was in the center you reach any where you wanted in a very short distance such as buses train station and a very good shopping area. Restaurant where near too. On the whole we enjoy our stay in Berlin.
Yes it was ok although the bedroom heating was too hot and I did not get the early morning call I requested for 7 am and nearly missed my departure taxi which I was not happy about having booked this with the hotel reception staff !!!
Good location. Close to the metro station and department stores. Have a big xmas market close by and few restaurants around.
Great hotel near one of Berlin's longest shopping streets with many attractions nearby. Underground station 2 minutes from the hotel.
Clean hotel. Pleasant and helpful staff. Could do with room tea and coffee making facilities.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

text: Meteorologists Angry With National Hurricane Center Over Sandy WarningsMatt Hardigree10/28/12 10:38amFiled to: Snor'EastercaneFrankenstromSandyJim CantoreFb45EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The league of extraordinary meteorologists are extraordinarily pissed off at the National Hurricane Center for their pedantic warnings for Frankenstorm Sandy. Specifically, they feel that the NHC's wonkiness led them to not issue Hurricane and Tropical Storm Warnings when the conditions will be hurricane-like. Instead, they're issuing a High Wind Watch, which means nothing to anyone. Advertisement Advertisement Sandy's called the "Frankenstrom" because it's currently transitioning from a warm core tropical system to a cold core, hybrid storm. Therefore, issuing a Tropical Storm Warning/Watch or Hurricane Warning/Watch will eventually be technically incorrect since it won't be a tropical system, but rather a sub-tropical system.The NHC says they're worried that people will be confused when, after the storm goes inland, they switch all the later warnings and watchings to High Wind and Coastal Flooding alerts so, with the exception of points offshore, they're issuing High Wind Watches/Warnings.Here's their explanation: Sponsored AS NOTED IN PREVIOUS ADVISORIES...TO AVOID A HIGHLY DISRUPTIVE CHANGE FROM TROPICAL TO NON-TROPICAL WARNINGS WHEN SANDY BECOMES POST-TROPICAL...THE WIND HAZARD NORTH OF THE TROPICAL STORM WARNING AREA WILL CONTINUE TO BE CONVEYED THROUGH HIGH WIND WATCHES AND WARNINGS ISSUED BY LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICES.If that means anything to you, congratulations. Here's the response from the professional meteorological community. Advertisement The Weather Channel's Brian Norcross:I grant that a technical reading of the "rules" says that you can't put up a Hurricane Watch and a Coastal Flood Watch and a High Wind Watch at the same time. But I'm betting the rules didn't envision a super-mega-combo freak of a storm slamming into the most populated part of the country. When all hell is breaking loose, sometimes you've got to break a few rules to do the right thing.There will be a whole lot of talk about this when the storm is over. Hopefully that will result in a communication policy that meets the world-class standards of the forecasting that goes on at the Hurricane Center and at Weather Service offices all over the country.The bottom line... let's all get on the same page. The forecast calls for a massive, destructive storm to affect tens of millions of people. If the forecast is wrong, hooray. But so far it's been right, and the odds are this is going to be really bad for a lot of people. Everybody's goal should be to be sure that as many people as possible are as ready and aware as they can be.Here's Jim Cantore:And The Wall Street Journal's Eric Holthaus:You can follow a long debate over this at on the NHC's Facebook page, where the consensus is the NHC is blowing it. Advertisement Advertisement The criticism also spills over into Mayor Bloomberg's initial handling of the storm threat:I agree the NHC is being too nerdy and not helpful. After Irene, people may think they can survive a hurricane and think this isn't as bad when many professionals actually think it'll be as bad or worse. Advertisement How are you reacting to the storm? Does the lack of a Hurricane/Tropical Storm Warnings impact your behavior?Reply45 repliesLeave a reply

Satisficing Contracts
We propose a model of equilibrium contracting between two agents who are "boundedly rational" in the sense that they face time-costs of deliberating current and future transactions. We show that equilibrium contracts may be incomplete and assign control rights: they may leave some enforceable future transactions unspecified and instead specify which agent has the right to decide these transactions. Control rights allow the controlling agent to defer time-consuming deliberations on those transactions to a later date, making her less inclined to prolong negotiations over an initial incomplete contract. Still, agents tend to resolve conflicts up-front by writing more complete initial contracts. A more complete contract can take the form of either a finer adaptation to future contingencies, or greater coarseness. Either way, conflicts among contracting agents tend to result in excessively complete contracts in the sense that the maximization of joint payoffs would result in less up-front deliberation.

This review is from: ASUS Rampage IV Extreme LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Ok... I had to come back on here after reading all the latest negative reviews regarding this mobo. I can't believe all the issues people seem to have. I've owned this board for almost two years now and it has ran flawless the whole time. I've never had an issue with memory, my memory (Corsair Dominator GT 2133MHz) has run at spec and over spec when I've overclocked up to 5GHz on my 3930K without a hiccup. All these recent negative reviews leave me to think that certain folks aren't that skilled at building computers. I use this mobo and 2x ASUS GTX 680s and everything has worked period. To the guy that claims EVGA is better...lol they have major BIOS issues all the time dating back to when I used their X58 mobos and they need good support because their products aren't that great. My ASUS GTX680s blow away anything they have in the 600 series just by design alone. However, this is about the ASUS RIVE, so we shall stay focused. This board rocks "in the right hands" and to those who claim differently resort to my quoted statement above.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: This board is pure power and top-notch. The design and layout work great for 4x graphics setups or 2x triple slot setups. I had room after installing both my triple slot cards to still fit my PCIE sound card. RAID works like a charm, overclocking on this board is,. as good as, it gets and NO EVGA board can compete on this level so spare me the EVGA Fan Club membership form. Bottomline here future buyers is this.... if you KNOW what you're DOING and you want an awesome board to do it with then this is clearly the winner. If you DON'T know what you're doing and you need a motherboard that has dummy OC features then buy EVGA for sure. Also on a side note why would anyone buy a $400+ mobo and try to run cheap memory on it in the first place?READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ASUS Rampage IV Extreme LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: This review is for filthpig. The only idiot here is you! You're on here crying about ASUS not supplying a tri SLI bridge for triple slot card setup in 3 way sli when that bright idea you have WOULDN'T WORK for NEWER cards such as the ASUS DC2T GTX680s in the first place. Triple SLI bridges are solid bridges and there is no way those would fit on cards like the ASUS DC2T GTX680 since those cards have a side support bracket that goes across the SLI fingers in the front. So why would ASUS spend the time to make a bridge that only YOU could use. Nobody cares you have 3 Matrix GTX580s. You need those just to equal the same number of Cuda cores one of my GTX680s have. The SLI bridges supplied with this motherboard are for reference cards which is the standard bridges included on all SLI capable motherboards that support 3 way and 4 way SLI. As to your case cooling comment and your BIG 35c in temp WOW I'm so not impressed my ASUS DC2T GTX680s yes there are two run 24 and 26c idle which is way better then your temps so put that in your straw pipe and smoke it up scarecrow. ASUS has done nothing wrong. Your card choice is custom and while the RIVE can support the use of three triple slot cards it would be impossible to use a tri SLI bridge on cards like the DC2T GTX680s in the first place even if it existed. Perhaps if you had upgraded your video cards to newer tech you would've know this before making such a stupid comment.
Cons: none

This review is from: Corsair Force Series GT 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-F120GBGT-BK
Pros: I left a review for this SSD drive a few months back because it was an awesome drive, BUT almost six months later and guess what..... drive is completely DEAD! Now I'm not sure what could have happened, but I'm going to guess the firmware isn't compatible to Windows 8. So here's my story... I bought this drive back on June 13th, 2012. Installed it in my new rig and put Windows 7 on it...drive ran fine...no freezing, no BSOD, no nothing! Then last night I decided to upgrade my computer to Windows 8 Professional 64-bit. Installation went well and everything was looking up and up, that is right until the computer needed to reboot after installing Windows 8 and that's where everything fell apart. Soon as the computer tried to reboot I was getting a no boot drive found error. So figured I reboot again and this time I noticed that it was taking my core i7 3930K an awful long time to get to the BIOS screen. So I rebooted again and this time went into my BIOS and what did I find NO SSD showing under my SATA connections. Changed SATA cables, changed ports nada, drive was completely dead. Took the drive out and tried it in two other computers...same thing no detection of it in BIOS and each computer I plugged it into had a problem booting into BIOS. I called Corsair and explained to them what had happened and the best answer I got was the drive is dead you need to RMA the drive. Ok, so my perfectly running SSD drive which had NO PROBLEMS at all running under Windows 7 and which was only going on 6 months old just happened to die after installing Windows 8? I think not and I think this drive has an issue running Windows 8. Keep in mind I never updated firmware as it wasn't needed since my drive ran normal and up to spec. So Corsair why did my drive all the sudden just die right after installing Windows 8 Professional 64-bit??? I mean come on are you kidding me with that answer your support guy Jason gave me "it just died" I ran my computer all day under Windows 7 before upgrading and it never once displayed any issue with the drive. So how does a perfectly working drive all the sudden just up and die after upgrading Windows? This is the lamest excuse I've ever heard a support tech give to a customer. Do you honestly think I'm going to put another one of these drives in my machine and install Windows 8 on it just to watch it die too. I've got 2 1.5TB Seagate HDD over 3 years old and I had to install Windows 8 on one of them last night after this drive "died" and guess what here it is 24 hours later and it's still working and it's 3 years old.
Cons: Corsair said I could RMA the drive which means I'll probably get a second hand refurbished hunk of metal which will take a month to get and which I'll have to pay the shipping on.
Other Thoughts: Great drive for Windows 7, but be very careful if you decide to install Windows 8 on this drive. Mine died instantly after the install and Corsair's support was anything but supportive. I might RMA this drive, but you better believe it is going on Craigslist the minute it gets delivered. I think I'll move to Intel SSD this time because this is very, very sad to have happen to a drive that's only going on 6 months old.READ FULL REVIEW

Hope celebrates first game at renovated stadium | Education
Title (Max 100 Characters)
HOLLAND, Mich. (WZZM)-Hope College celebrated its first home football game of the season with the help of the Holland community.
Former Mayor Nelson Bosman founded Hope/Holland Community Day in 1966, as a way to unite his city and the college. Saturday, visitors enjoyed free games, musical performances, and met the mascot before Hope played its first home game in the newly renovated stadium, which it shares with Holland High School.
Holland's city manager says Hope and Holland have a long standing relationship, which includes student internships with the city and college lectures by the city mayor.
"We're the envy of the nation. We have universities from Illinois and Ohio coming here to try to find out how we make the city and college cooperate so well. This is just one example," said Holland City Manager Ryan Cotton.
This was the 47th year for the Hope/Holland Community Day

Big surprise: Obama endorses Inslee
Democrat Jay Inslee's gubernatorial campaign is all aglow today with President Barack Obama's endorsement of their guy.
Wait a minute. Hasn't Obama been a fan of Inslee's all along. Didn't he wish him well last spring in marking Inslee's departure from Congress to campaign full-time? Didn't he say nice things about Inslee during his May stop at the Paramount Theater in Seattle?
Yes, but -
"He's been supportive but hasn't officially endorsed," Inslee campaign spokeswoman Jaime Smith said. "Obama is a very popular figure here, so obviously we're excited to use this."
The most recent statewide poll we could find, which was the SurveyUSA poll from the beginning of August, had Obama over Romney 54 percent to 37 percent.
In ticket-splitting Washington, some of that popularity might not carry down the ballot into the governor's race. In 2008, Obama beat John McCain by 17 points, but incumbent Gov. Chris Gregoire beat Republican Dino Rossi by 6.5 points. In 2004, John Kerry beat President George W. Bush by 7 points, but Gregoire beat Rossi by .0047 points, after two recounts and a court case.

The University of Surrey is charging a tuition fee of £9,000 in 2016/17 for UK/EU undergraduates starting programmes in all subject areas in 2016.
Fees are reviewed annually. Fees for 2017/18 will be published on the University website when they are available.
Professional Training Year fees
A fee of £1,800 will be charged for the Professional Training placement programme. This will not have to be paid up front for those students who decide to take up the Government's loan for higher education fees.
NHS-related programmes
Home and EU students following NHS-related programmes are currently subject to separate funding arrangements, administered through the Department of Health. Further details are available on the relevant programme pages.
For students classed as overseas for fees purposes, annual full-time tuition fees vary depending on programme studied. See our full list of overseas fees for details.
Overseas students applying for 2016 entry should note that annual fees will rise by four per cent (rounded up to the nearest £100) for each year of study.
The University will assess your fee status. If you're unsure whether you're likely to be considered a 'home', EU or overseas student for fees purposes, please visit the UKCISA website.
If you're a UK/EU student, you don't have to pay for your course yourself upfront - you can get a loan to cover the cost of your tuition. You'll only start to pay this back once you've graduated and you're earning over £21,000 a year.
Some students may decide not to take the Government loan and wish to pay the £9,000 fee from their own resources or other source of funding. Direct payment of fees to the University will be straightforward for those who decide to follow this route and will be invoiced in the relevant year of study.
We've put together a range of scholarships, bursaries, fee waivers and other financial incentives to support high achievers, elite sports performers and students from low income households.

The remains of a woman found in Arizona last month were confirmed Tuesday as those of 31-year-old Suellen Roberts, authorities said.
The Yavapai County sheriff's office said Roberts' family in Las Vegas has been notified.
Roberts' body was found near Seligman, Ariz.
The location is about 40 miles from the amusement park that she and 12-year-old daughter Lexis Roberts planned to visit with Suellen Roberts' boyfriend, Thomas Steven "Spider" Sanders, who was arrested in Mississippi last month.
Lexis' body was found Oct. 8 by hunters in the woods of central Louisiana.
Relatives of Roberts told the Review-Journal that Sanders had cooperated with the FBI after his arrest on Nov. 14 and told authorities where to find Roberts' body.
Sanders is facing a federal kidnapping charge related to Lexis' disappearance. If convicted, Sanders could face life in prison or the death penalty, authorities said.
Authorities in Louisiana said Sanders will be charged with murder in state court when the federal government finishes processing him.
Sanders, who was declared legally dead 16 years ago, was targeted in a nationwide manhunt after the mother and daughter were reported missing after Labor Day weekend.
The FBI coordinated the investigation, which involved multiple law enforcement agencies and four states.

I stumbled upon you,
Just stumbling through
Life. In that hazy second,
I solemnly reckoned
Maybe I wouldn't be alone
After all. The promise engraved in my flesh and bone
Stuckme like a bolt of hope
That maybe I wouldn't spend the rest of these days trapped in this tight, tight rope.
In that moment, I knew
no matter the lies of pain or loss, love would always be true.
Because truthfully I
Had begun to give up, a horrible way to die.
Until I stumbled upon you.

Innocence Lost
Flibber T. Gibbet
Disclaimer: C'mon people! This is fan fiction! Not the stuff in manga!
Author's notes: Thank you for the four reviews I got for "Do You Really?" Not meant sarcastically… though a few more would have been nice. Ah well. This ficlet is dedicated to all the perverts (not like it's a bad thing) out there who can't see an innocent Tootsie Pop without naughty thoughts. Especially for Andrew, who has made me throw away more than one sucker with his lewd comments. Read and hopefully enjoy!
For once, Naruto was sitting still, intent on savoring his orange Tootsie Pop thoroughly. Across from the blond, his teammate, Sasuke was trying his considerable best to read a book. I say trying because he was currently… ah, distracted by Naruto's intense azure gaze and his pink tongue sensually caressing the round candy. How Sasuke desired to be that blasted orange lollipop that held his lover's focus. He was horny, dammit, and he needed Naruto. Stupid sucker, he thought vindictively, that is MY DOBE! Go away before I trash you and your worthless stick! His fantasies of Naruto and the sucker's demise were shattered by the blond's words.
"Hey, teme! Don't hurt my lollipop!" As oblivious to the world as he was, he could still sense the Uchiha Death Glare™ aimed at his candy.
"Kiss me, and I'll think about it," growled the sexually frustrated Sasuke.
"We just had sex, like, half an hour ago!" Naruto whined, not wanting to leave his candy.
"I see an orange sucker lying hopelessly in the trash." threatened Sasuke.
"You wouldn't!" The horrors!
"Says who?" muttered the dark haired teen.
"Bastard." When the going gets tough, revert to basic insults.
"That's not what you said half an hour ago," Sasuke smirked. " 'Oh Sasuke! Harder! Faster! Love you so much! SASUKE!'" he mimicked and laughed genuinely when Naruto blushed. "I had thought I had done a good job taking your innocence. I mean, just think about all the times and places we've done it… And yet, here you are, blushing like a virgin."
"Shut up," the blond retaliated weakly. Woe to the creature that was in the way of a, well now, the determined Uchiha's path.
"Make me," he quipped childishly. Naruto remained silent. Sasuke continued on a different thread. "How many licks does it take?" tilting his head towards the saliva covered candy.
Naruto's customary blinding grin reappeared. "One thousand six!"
Sasuke slowly crawled off the bed and swaggered to the blond. "And how many licks does it take to get to Naruto's creamy filling?" he whispered hotly into Naruto's ear.
"I don't know…" he whimpered as Sasuke began nibbling on his earlobe. A quiet whisper brought the flaming embarrassment back to the blond's whiskered cheeks.
"I guess we'll just have to find out, eh, Naru-chan?
Needless to say, Naruto had an ache over the next week that even Sakura couldn't heal.
Well, that's it. I seem to a disease that inhibits my ability to write anything over a thousand words. Reviews are really, really appreciated! Hint hint. I hope this brought a smile to your lips.

Dear Friends,
The French International School in Hong Kong has just completed their annual trip to Ningxia. This year they brought school material and equipment to six different schools, a record! We do not have their full report yet but we promise to write again very soon.
This spring, the Lycée International in Lausanne informed us that they were renewing their support of our association as they have for several years now. As in years past, the students have raised money by writing in a diary and soliciting sponsors for every page written. We are heartened by this demonstration of solidarity between young people on different continents, from very different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds. Ma Yan's diary continues to have an influence on its many readers!
There are many personnel changes in the association this year! After three years of hard work, Laurent Peyrot will be leaving his post. He and his wife and their two children, both born in China during his stay, will be heading on to new adventures. Laurent brought many improvements to the functioning of the association, notably the setting up of our direct sponsor program, the creation of our new website (www.childrenofningxia.org) and the producation of a film about the association's actions. We thank him for all he has done for the association and for the time he devoted to his work.
Laurent will be replaced by Blandine Ricouart who comes to us from Arras in the north of France. Blandine holds several degrees in international studies specializing in Asia and particularly China. She is very enthusiastic about the challentes of her new job! Welcome Blandine!
A whole team of volunteers, headed by Babacar Pierre Seck, from the Institute of Political Science will be assisting her in her multitude of tasks.
Our page on GlobalGiving continues to bring support from all over the world. We send thanks to Aishy who added us to her fundraiser shedding light on several projects supporting underprivileged girls.
The school year is ending in Ningxia and many of our high school seniors will be taking the Gaokao, a form of university entrance exam. It is a stressful but exciting time and soon we will know how many of our scholarship students will be eligible to continue their studies.
With our gratitude for your continued support, we promise to give fresh news from the field as soon as possible.
Dear Friends,
Happy New Year of the Rabbit!
As I sit down to write this report, our China coordinator, Laurent Peyrot, and his French-Chinese assistant, Odile Song, are in Ningxia visiting families during the Chinese New Year holidays (Chun Jie). As all Chinese leave their daily routines and travel to their home towns for this festive period, it is the perfect time to find all of our scholarship students at home with their families. It is also very hard to get a train ticket, but luckily that part of the logistics miraculously came through!
Laurent and Odile report that it is very, very cold in Ningxia but that local friends of the association who we have known for almost ten years now, most notably Ma Yan's mother, Bai Juhua, are taking good care of them. While the accent will be on visiting students' families in order to keep their profiles up-to-date, Laurent and Odile will also be visiting the schools that the French International School is planning to visit on their annual trip in June. The schools that have been selected this year are Hu(jia)puzi, Hequ and Liumiao. With additional help from the Alliance Française and Véolia, these schools will receive computers and printers, sports equipment, books and school uniforms.
We are very proud to announce that 14 of our scholarship students have completed their university studies. This is, of course, our ultimate goal: to see them through their studies as far as they need to go to guarantee a good job at the end. Among them are Yang Xia who is now a Chemistry teacher at the new middle school in Tongxin, Zhou Hai who is an assistant to a court judge in Tongxin and Hu Yufeng, now a doctor at the principal hospital of Yinchuan. We congratulate all of them!
Every trip to Ningxia also includes the evaluation of new candidates for scholarships, but our taking them on depends entirely on raising new funds.
In December, Laurent travelled to Ningxia with 2 people (including one doctor) from Médecins sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) on an exploratory trip to take stock of the medical needs of the population in the context of MSF's "Mothers and Daughters Care" program. This trip was the first of two planned visits with MSF which will be followed by a one-month long mission. The classic problems studied are gynecological health, malnutrition, delivery of babies, and maternal care. It is evident that the feminine population is the principal victim of the privatising of the health system in China where public funds have not been made available to cover their needs. Once again, Liang Tai Fang of the Ningxia Poverty Alleviation Foundation (NXFP) was our local government contact; the visit of MSF took place with the complete support of the Public Health Bureau. Minling, the field research doctor for MSF, concluded that it would be valuable to send a gynecologist on the next visit which will take place in May. Concrete health programs could begin as early as September as a result of these exploratory trips.
Lastly, we'd like to thank TOMS shoes, a US-based company, that has offered to provide two different types of shoes to the children of Ningxia. TOMS has a unique business model in which they give a pair of shoes away for every pair they sell. Their goal is to provide free shoes to needy children throughout the world. They also provide replenishment shoes as a child grows. TOMS is very careful to not interfere with any local shoe-makers' market.
We send you our best wishes for this new year beginning and look forward to keeping you up to date in the next report!
Dear Friends,
Our long-awaited website is finally on-line! It is a work-in-progress so please bear with us while we iron out the wrinkles and bring our info up-to-date. Pour nos amis français, la version française de notre site sera bientôt en ligne; merci infiniment de votre patience.
We are very happy to announce the Molly Lee Scholarship Fund, generously created by Maureen and Kean Giap Lim in loving memory of Maureen's mother. The scholarship fund will support 4 university students from Ningxia throughout their studies. Molly Lee, Maureen's mother, was a teacher specializing in helping Taiwanese students pass the English interview for US student visas. She was a very courageous woman who was living in Florida when she passed away last September at the age of 90. We can't think of a more fitting homage!
The Children of Ningxia Association is very grateful to the Lims. We will publish the profiles of the 4 happy students as soon as possible. Our next report which will be more lengthy, but we just wanted to share these two important pieces of information with you right away!
As some of you may know, Ma Yan, the schoolgirl whose diary moved thousands of readers the world over, has been studying at the Sorbonne for the last two years. In fact, she just successfully passed the exams allowing her to continue her studies for another two years. She then plans to go back to China with a prestigious diploma in French Language! If you have not yet read The Diary of Ma Yan (HarperCollins), please don't hesitate! It was awarded the "Outstanding International Book for 2006" by the United States Board on Books for Young People and the Children's Book Council. It was re-edited in the US in June of 2009 with a postface by Pierre Haski and Ma Yan and remains a heart-wrenching account of the hardships of life in rural China for a girl deprived of schooling.
In our last report, we had promised an update about our teacher training program in computer skills, but regretfully must tell you that it had to be postponed. Working with the local authorities in China can bring unexpected ups and downs, and this time, our China coordinator, Laurent Peyrot, was thwarted in his attempts to organize this second edition. We will try again to repeat this program as the first one seemed to be much appreciated by the participants.
Our good news is that the Areva Foundation has agreed to support 2 of our female university students, Hu Yufeng and Ma Dongmei, for a period of 3 years. We extend our sincere thanks to Areva for this vote of confidence. You will find the profiles of the selected students below.
Other good news is that the French International School in Hong Kong has outlined another year of dynamic fund-raising events including the Swimathon on November 13th, a loto-bingo night at the end of February and two evenings of performances at mid-May, the proceeds of which will pay for the LI-HK's (Lycée International - Hong Kong) trip to Ningxia at the beginning of June 2011 as well as provide material support to two selected schools. As in previous years, any surplus will go directly to our scholarship program. This collaboration with the Lycée International is very dear to us as it accomplishes so many of our objectives: providing scholarships to children and young adults from Ningxia province for school and university, promoting international exchange between young people and improving the educational environment by bringing material aid.
We are also happy to announce that our relationship with Earthpulse Foundation in Hong Kong who organized the beautiful "Mothers and Daughters" photo exhibition and gala event last May to support three different associations including ours, continues to thrive. Our on-going collaboration will include more art exhibits as well as support of specific university students.
Until our next report in three months, we extend our thanks to you once again for your support and wish you a happy school year!
Every year since 2004, a group of students from the French International School in Hong Kong has travelled to Ningxia to spend a long weekend with the children of Ningxia (among whom are our scholarship students). They stay with families in order to get a feel for how people live in Ningxia, to ask questions and share their views of the world! And very importantly, they bring much needed school material bought with funds raised throughout the year from game nights, school plays, etc. The experience is always a rich one for both sides. The kids from FIS-HK recognize the importance of going to school in good conditions when they see how the other half lives. And the children of Ningxia are thrilled to have this visit which opens them up to another world. Thus a library was established several years ago in a school that had no books. Last year, the group brought a printer for one of the primary schools we support as well as sporting material, 5 stoves and again, books to constitute a library. This year 22 tenth grade students took the trip to Ningxia from May 25th to 30th and with great emotion brought equipment to the two designated schools: a middle school in the town of Wu Zhong and a primary school in the village of Bai Yin Wa. These schools received, directly from the hands of the students, notebooks, school uniforms, sports equipment as well as two computers and a printer. The FIS-HK will donate the rest of the money raised this year to scholarships for the neediest students (to be chosen with the association). One of the FIS-HK's 5th grade classes had read The Diary of Ma Yan this year and had tons of questions about the schools and life in general in Ningxia province. So the 10th graders acted like reporters bringing back the answers to these questions and a lively exchange took place between the two classes when they got back to Hong Kong. Also in Hong Kong this May, Children of Ningxia participated in a beautiful exhibition called 'Mothers and Daughters: Impressions and Voices from Remote Villages in China' to raise awareness of marginalized women and girls in China. This mobile exhibition opened Mother's Day weekend (8th-9th May) at Hong Kong Arts Centre. It has now travelled to Shanghai and back to Hong Kong (at the French International School - see poster attached) with additional stops planned in Beijing and Yunnan (see Tatler article below). The exhibition is sponsored by the Earthpulse Foundation and proceeds from a gala dinner and auction will benefit the Orochen Foundation, Association Femmes du Ningxia and Association Enfants du Ningxia (Children of Ningxia). Children of Ningxia contributed photos by our friend, Cisko (6co), 5 marvellous triptychs showing the scholarship student, her family and their house. You can view them below along with the compelling portraits of the girls and young women chosen for this exhibition. In our next report in September, we will be able to tell you about our Summer Training Camp for primary school teachers in Ningxia (computer skills and English). Stay tuned!

We have just had confirmation that the first stock of the Motorola Fire is due to land late September and will be priced at £180 + VAT. At the moment we are only expecting the keyboard version of the FIRE to be available SIM-free and we are unlikely to stock the touch screen only version, the XT531 Fire, but that doesn't mean to say that it won't be available via the mobile networks.
We will be listing the Motorola FIRE on the Clove website for pre-order shortly. For the time being, here's a look at its main features:
- Front Facing QWERTY keyboard
- Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
- 2.8" Touch screen
- 3MP Camera
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- 1420mAh Battery

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell might allow Sean Payton to coach the Saints while he appeals his season-long suspension for his role in the team's bounties program.
"I said in a letter they have to appeal by April 2, I believe," Goodell said Monday at the owners meetings in Palm Beach, Fla. "If he decides to appeal, I probably will allow him to continue and I would expedite the hearing and I would expedite my decision.
"We did meet twice and went through the information. If he has something else for me to consider, I will."
Payton's agent, Donald Yee, said "no decisions have been made about an appeal" by his client.
"Sean fully supports the league's player safety goals," Yee said. "Given this, he probably won't address the entire league" when he arrives at the owners meetings.
Payton has met with his former boss and mentor, Bill Parcells, and broached the idea of Parcells becoming the Saints' interim head coach during Payton's suspension, several league sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen on Monday.
Payton and Parcells have spoken numerous times, sources told Mortensen, since Goodell announced last Wednesday that the Saints coach was being suspended for the year because the league found that the team had engaged in a bounty program that included incentives to injure opposing players.
If Payton does appeal and persuades Goodell to reduce his penalty, it is unlikely he would try to coax Parcells into an interim job, sources told Mortensen.
Saints spokesman Greg Bensel said Payton was expected to speak later this week at the meetings. NFC coaches are scheduled to meet the media Wednesday morning. Payton has not addressed the media since the suspension, but has issued two written statements apologizing for the bounty system.
Goodell also is waiting for recommendations from the players' union before punishing any players for participating in the three-year bounty system that targeted opponents for big hits. He has discussed the bounties with NFLPA leader DeMaurice Smith.
Goodell added the league approached the Saints before their playoff game with the Lions in January and warned them to make sure the bounties had ceased. He sent Jeff Pash, the NFL's lead counsel, and Jeffrey Miller, its director of security, to speak with owner Tom Benson.
"The point was to make it clear we had new and credible info and he should make it extremely clear with the game the next day there should be no bounty system in place," Goodell said.
Asked if Payton's punishment was as much for lying to him as it was for the actual bounties program, Goodell told a packed news conference about a pattern of untruths.
"This is a violation of a very serious rule," Goodell said. "We have made player health and safety very clear as a priority. During the process of when this first was raised two years ago, there were denials. They were not forthright and that continued through our investigation.
"This is something with zero tolerance and is not acceptable."
The league's investigation is continuing, Goodell added.
"We will continue to follow on any information we have," he said, "and will look for violations. If we get info, we will follow on it.
"Let's be clear. We discussed it with the clubs today and I think it is fair to say non-contract bonus payments were happening around the league ... and that'll discontinue."
Goodell said the Saints are free to go outside the organization to hire a coach. Payton's assistant head coach is Joe Vitt, who was given a six-game suspension, while general manager Mickey Loomis received eight games. The team was fined $500,000 and lost second-round draft picks this year and next.
Gregg Williams, who as Saints defensive coordinator oversaw the bounty pool, has been suspended indefinitely. He left New Orleans for the same coaching position in St. Louis earlier this year.
Benson continues to back both Loomis and Payton, a person familiar with the situation has told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because the Saints have made no announcements about Payton's future.
Parcells said Monday he has not been approached about becoming interim coach of the Saints, but he has spoken to Payton about how to handle the season. The coach who led the New York Giants to two Super Bowl victories is a mentor to Payton, and hired Payton as an offensive assistant in Dallas in 2003.
Goodell termed "inaccurate" reports that one player turned in the Saints in the bounties investigation.
"You're assuming it's a player," he said. "We have several sources on this. We're not disclosing who our sources are."
Meanwhile, new lines of black-and-gold T-shirts which read "Free Sean Payton," and "Free Payton," have hit stores in New Orleans. They are reminiscent of the "Free Edwin Edwards" T-shirts that came out after the popular former governor was convicted in a federal gambling corruption probe.
Players, too, have expressed support for their embattled coach. Starting right tackle Zach Strief has said the Saints owe it to Payton to live up to the standards he has set and win in his honor.
"This season is going to take on an us-versus-the-world mentality," Strief said last week. "This team is going to come together closer than it has ever been and I think that we all feel like we have something to prove. We're going to do our best to make this situation into a positive one."
Should the Saints decide against going outside of the organization to find an interim coach, there are several candidates among current assistants to fill that role. They include offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr., defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and offensive line coach Aaron Kromer.
Spagnuolo is a former head coach, while Carmichael, who called the Saints' offensive plays for much of last season, and Kromer, who has overseen one of the top offensive lines in the league, both have drawn interest in the past year from other teams looking for head coaching candidates.
However, a source told ESPN.com's John Clayton that Payton met with his staff and couldn't resolve the situation. The source said Carmichael Jr. would prefer to just call plays and Kromer isn't going to campaign for the job. Spagnuolo is new to the staff and just taking over the defense and might not have the aggressive personality to be Payton's replacement for a season.
Information from The Associated Press contributed to this report.
