Cooler jobs than yours
One interesting story from last week was the yarn about Briton Ben Southall winning what Tourism Queensland called the the "best job in the world"
Now that raises all sorts of questions. Is it really the best? As Sathnam Sanghera writes in The Times, the best jobs are simply those where you are allowed to develop, where you respect and like your colleagues and they respect and like you back and where you can measure your performance in some way. Given the short term nature of the Hamilton Island job, there's none of that. Still, Tourism Queensland's PR stunt does raise another question: what are the best jobs? What jobs would people die for?
Rachel Zupek from Careerbuilder.com has her list, republished in CNN that includes some beauties. You want a job as a cruise director, planning and coordinating daily activities and excursions for passengers? How about working as a video game tester, looking for bugs and glitches in the software and of course, putting in lots of time playing games. Or a shoe designer, pet psychologist or food critic?
The ABC has come up with its own list. Jobs there include working as a food scientist, inspecting boats and vessels to ensure they comply with standards, creating computer games from scratch, managing tree projects, working as an historian, archaeologist, biophysicist or sports physiotherapist, doing the real CSI stuff and collecting evidence from crime scenes, being an inventor, or working in the area of human rights.
Still, no job is perfect and it's probably a matter of each to their own. For instance, scientists working with chimps and gorillas reckon they have the best job, according to this report. "It's one of the best jobs in the world, to be able to have these animals in your life and to be able to ask them questions and allow you to understand them," says one scientist. As I said, each to their own. I can think of better things to do than spending my time talking to monkeys but then, everyone has their own take. It's summed up by the great management thinker Peter Drucker, who told the story of three stone cutters who were asked what they were doing. The first said: "I am making a living." The second kept on hammering and said, "I am doing the best job of stonecutting in the entire country." The third one, full of vision, said, "I am building a cathedral."
The most important thing is not finding the world's coolest job. It's about finding work that makes you truly happy and feel at one with the world. According to Careerbuilder, the six happiest jobs are working as a hairdresser, beauty therapist, child care, a doctor or dentist, plumber or electrician.
Not for everyone? Maybe a better answer might be to look at the areas that are hot in demand. That usually means good conditions and interesting work.
Fast Company has identified 10 areas heavily in demand. These are nursing and medical services as the population ages and IT, particularly for software developers, computer support specialists, network and computer systems administrators, network systems and data communications analysts, database administrators and computer systems analysts. Other hot areas include education, green jobs tipped to be the one of the fastest growing areas over the next 18 months, renewable energy, infrastructure, financial advisers, self employment and small business, jobs for boomers and anything that involves telecommuting.
So where do you think the world's coolest jobs are? What sort of job would you really want to have? Or do you have one already? Let us know.
Whilst living and working in Ireland around the same time as the 2002 world cup, a mate and myself picked up jobs as quality engineers @ Guinness brewery (no this is not a joke). Our role was to "mystery shop" around the vast number of watering holes in the greater Dublin area and check on the quality of the "product" being served. The tools of the trade were a thermometer, Authentic head measurer, survey sheet and a keen eye for any point of sale merchandising and advertisements. For the privilege we were paid 16 whole Euros for each pint we drank, plus cab fare for the journey between each pub. We were only recommended to "test' 3 pints per night, however like all good job sharing we worked hard together to know off 6 pints (on the books) a night. We definately got some funny looks in some of the back streets of Dublin, raising the ire of some seasoned Guinness drinkers by the two Aussie upstarts "testing " their beloved brew. Fortunately Ireland made it to the quarter finals on the world cup that year and they were too merry to really worry about it.

Concluding what the judge called "a sad and tragic case," a 25-year-old San Diegan with a history of mental illness was sentenced Thursday afternoon to a state prison term of 25 years to life for beating a former South Bay high school sports star to death in the Central Jail.
Joshua McDaniels told investigators he was hearing voices when he repeatedly punched and stomped Frank Fernandez, 69, on Oct. 9, 2015.
"I really didn't want to do it but if I didn't do it I was gonna get lost in jail forever and never get out," McDaniels was quoted as saying.
He had been arrested that morning on suspicion of being under the influence of drugs — tests later found amphetamine in his system — after witnesses reported seeing him run naked into traffic on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard.
At the jail, he was put in a holding cell with Fernandez, who had been arrested the day before for being drunk in public at a strip mall on Murphy Canyon Road. After sobering up, Fernandez was about to be released when the beating occurred.
Relatives of both men said neither should have been in a position to have their paths cross.
Fernandez, who starred in football and baseball at Hilltop High in the early 1960s before becoming homeless, was in a conservatorship, deemed unable to take care of his own needs because of dementia, and under the watch of a board and care home in Serra Mesa.
McDaniels has struggled with mental illness since childhood and flagged as such in law enforcement databases so he could be put where he wouldn't be a danger to himself or others.
During Thursday's sentencing hearing, Superior Court Judge David Rubin said it was "beyond question" that McDaniels was in a psychotic state when he attacked Fernandez. But, the judge said, he was not insane as defined by law.
Last summer, the criminal proceedings were suspended so McDaniels could be evaluated. Three months later, he was deemed competent to stand trial by a state psychiatrist.
In January, a jury convicted him of first-degree murder, and then concluded that he was sane at the time of the killing. A probation report prepared for the sentencing said McDaniels knew what he was doing, and knew it was wrong.
After the sentencing, his parents, Greg and Stephanie McDaniels, expressed sorrow about what happened to Fernandez and sympathy toward his family, which includes three grown daughters.
But they faulted the officials who took their son into custody without weighing his psychiatric history. "They never should have been in a cell together," Stephanie McDaniels said. "Now the Fernandez family has lost someone they loved, and for all intents and purposes, so have we."
No one from the victim's family was present at the hearing. One of his daughters, Stephanie Barnes, sent a letter to the court that said she hopes McDaniels spends the rest of his life in prison.
During the sentencing, Rubin said he would follow a defense attorney request and recommend that McDaniels be put in a prison best able to provide medical treatment.

I am not a Luddite but I find it difficult to release myself completely into this electronic version of our world for fear of losing myself to an ever changing and relatively superficial existence full of sound bites, incomplete thoughts and half truths. In an effort to keep pace with each changing moment, we leave ourselves vulnerable to judgment based a version of reality that does not begin to scratch the surface of the whole self. There is little time to invest in the complex individual so we present ourselves in easily digestible parts. A neatly packaged illusion that reveals only what will solicit the desired response. "Front Lines" is a collection of drawings that describe the various stages of this battle.
My preoccupation with the coexistence of old and new, traditional and contemporary entities occupying the same space and time finds refuge in this series of works. Composing from a live model and employing the traditional drawing techniques of pen and ink and graphite, I am comfortably connected with a past that serves as my foundation and reminder of my values while embracing a future as I render each drawing on a contemporary digital tablet. The discovery and enlightenment revealed in this process is empowering.

LIMASSOL, Cyprus (Reuters Life!) - Researchers in Cyprus have discovered trace levels of pharmaceuticals in the water supply as a result of a pill-popping culture which makes Cypriots one of the leading EU consumers of antibiotics.
At present, the quantities of chemicals ranging from painkillers to antibiotics and antidepressants found in the water supply are too minute to be a public health threat.
But scientists say further research is needed on the impact of a longer-term accumulation of the substances, as well as the interaction of each in a chemical cocktail if the present consumption and use of medication continues unabated.
"Society needs to pay more attention to water quality issues because it is generally taken for granted," said Dr Konstantinos Makris, Assistant Professor at the Cyprus International Institute for Environmental and Public Health, part of the Cyprus University of Technology.
The institute, which is associated with the Harvard School of Public Health, conducted tests on water supplies for 16 pharmaceuticals, six known or suspected endocrine disrupting compounds, two flame retardants, a fragrance and an insect repellent.
"We found almost all of them in treated waste water, there were less in the ground water and we found two in home tap supplies," Makris told Reuters in an interview.
"We had thought the waste water treatment process would have been effective enough to remove the majority of these compounds."
Cyprus registers the second highest consumption of antibiotics among 34 countries participating in the European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Consumption (EASC) project. Greece tops the list.
"It is not actually a Cypriot problem, it's a global problem particularly in the developed world where people consume vast quantities of pharmaceuticals, most of the time for no important reason," said Makris.
Although in concentrations of "nanograms per liter," researchers discovered ibuprofen, an analgesic, in household tap water, along with Bisphenol-A (BPA), which can be used in the production of plastics.
While ibuprofen was the result of Cypriots reaching for the painkiller and being recycled back into the system, researchers are unclear how Bisphenol-A, a suspected endocrine disruptor, made it into the mix.
Some scientists believe BPA may interfere with the activity of hormones in the endocrine system and in the reproductive system. Last week the European Union decided it was to be banned in plastic baby bottles from 2011.
While current concentrations of either ibuprofen or BPA in potable water are not high enough to pose a risk to public health the presence in raw water implies that more could be done for long-term waste management and recycling practices for expired pharmaceuticals.
"Conventional treatment is not designed to remove these emerging contaminants, so its obvious that other technologies are needed," Makris said.

Nagpur bore witness to the inauguration of the Maharashtra-wide tree plantation drive on Friday, with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat leading the initiative from the front. He was accompanied by state Energy Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, a member of the ruling BJP, of which the RSS is the parent organisation.
The drive is aimed at ensuring that the state gets more green cover. Maharashtra currently has green cover across only 20 percent of the state, as compared to the 33.5 percent required.
"The depleting green cover is one of the major causes of climate change and it is affecting the monsoon. We will plant 2 crore saplings within a day. While 1.50 crore saplings will be planted by the forest department, various government institutions will plant the rest," the Daily News and Analysis (DNA) quoted a senior official of the state government as saying.
Friday's event launch saw Bhagwat planting a sapling near the headquarters of the RSS in eastern Nagpur, while Bawankule and 10,000 children planted saplings in the catchment area of the Ambajhari lake, according to a Press Trust of India report.
Nagpur Metro Railway Corporation (NMRC) Managing Director Brajesh Dixit led other NMRC officials in planting trees on Amravati road, which falls along the route of the Metro rail that is set to come up in the city.
The NMRC is expected to plant at least 5,000 trees in the city this monsoon.
The state-wide programme is expected to be conducted at a massive scale and in a comprehensive manner. "In every office premises, 20 saplings need to planted, 10 in each cooperative organisation office premises, 100 in each cooperative sugar mill campuses, 20 in each cotton mill premises and five in each cooperative housing society premises. Besides these locations, plantations can be done at various private firm premises under the corporate social responsibility (CSR) fund," the DNA report quoted a government circular as saying.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday lauded the state's move to plant 2 crore sapliogs. "Excellent initiative by the Maharashtra Government, of planting 2 crore trees in one day. Urge everyone in Maharashtra to support & join [sic]," he said.

Daily Press Briefing by the Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General
The following is a near-verbatim transcript of today's noon briefing by Farhan Haq, Acting Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General.
Good morning, everyone.
** Nigeria
Around 11 o'clock this morning, local time, the United Nations House in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, was struck by a car bomb.
In remarks to the press this morning, the Secretary-General condemned the attack, which he called "an assault on those who devote their lives to helping others". He said that we do not yet have precise casualty figures but they are likely to be considerable. A number of people are dead; many more are wounded.
The Secretary-General has asked the Deputy Secretary-General, Asha-Rose Migiro, to go to Nigeria immediately, along with the UN security chief, Under-Secretary-General Gregory Starr, to mobilize the UN system in responding to this emergency.
** Libya
The Secretary-General is meeting with the heads of regional organizations by videoconference at 3 this afternoon to discuss Libya. The invitees include the African Union, the European Union, the Organization for Islamic Cooperation and the League of Arab States. The objective of the meeting is to develop ways in which these organizations will continue to work together, especially on the post-conflict phase in Libya. The Secretary-General will then speak to reporters at the second floor stakeout in the North Lawn Building once that meeting ends, at around 4 p.m.
**Deputy Secretary-General on Libya
The Deputy Secretary-General spoke to the African Union's Peace and Security Council at its meeting in Addis Ababa today, saying that the African Union has always been one of the United Nations' most important strategic partners and will remain so. In Libya, she said, the African Union has been unrelenting in seeking a peaceful solution — and is instrumental in helping Libya to rebuild its future.
She informed the Council that, in Doha on Wednesday, the Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Libya, Abdel-Elah al-Khatib, along with Special Adviser Ian Martin, met with National Transitional Council leaders to discuss post-conflict planning in greater detail.
In addition to immediate humanitarian assistance, particularly as it relates to medical help, they placed special emphasis on early support from the international community for elections, transitional justice and policing, as well as longer-term assistance in social and economic reconstruction, rule of law and institution-building. We have her remarks in our office.
**Security Council on Peacekeeping
Addressing the Security Council's open debate on peacekeeping this morning, the Secretary-General said that peacekeeping is one of the most visible, difficult and critical roles played by the United Nations. It is also a role which only the UN can play in a truly global sense, he noted.
To be successful, peacekeeping operations must have a clear and achievable mandate, unified political support from the Security Council, as well as adequate and predictable human, material and financial resources.
The Secretary-General acknowledged the sacrifice of the thousands of colleagues and friends who have given their lives in the line of duty. He paid tribute to all those working in peacekeeping today for their commitment to this noble cause. His full remarks are available on our website.
**South Sudan
The UN Mission in South Sudan, UNMISS, announced today that it began deploying peacekeepers and teams of civilian experts to vulnerable areas of Jonglei State. Peacekeepers from the Mission will work closely with the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) — which also began deploying — to support their efforts to deter violence. And civilian staff from the Mission will help with local reconciliation efforts. UN surveillance flights over the conflict-affected areas are also being conducted on a continuous daily basis.
As you know, 600 people have reportedly lost their lives in recent days in Jonglei State. The Secretary-General's Special Representative, Hilde Johnson, continues to urge restraint by all communities and to ask for reconciliation efforts.
**Press Conferences
For press conferences, on Monday at 4:30 p.m., there will be a press conference with Bruno Lemaire, France's Minister for Agriculture, Food, Fisheries, Rural Affairs and Regional Development, on the outcome of the Group of 20 (G-20) Agriculture Ministers meeting which was held in June of this year.
**The Week Ahead at the United Nations
We also have available "The Week Ahead" document for the United Nations. I just wanted to draw your attention that on Wednesday, there will be a UN holiday and the United Nations Headquarters will be closed.
Yes, Bill?
**Questions and Answers
Question: Three things, if you will, Farhan, concerning the incident in Abuja. One, what was the threat level at the time of this incident that took place? Two, what was the nature of the security situation there in terms of types of barriers, distance from the street, how would you describe it? And three, what adjustments have been made in terms of security for UN facilities around the world? We've certainly noted some out here on the street.
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: Okay. Regarding that, well, let's take the second of your questions first, about the nature of the security. Yes, there were barricades and different gates around the UN. It is regarded as a well-defended building, and we will need to investigate how it was that the attackers managed to get past different levels of protection so that they could cause the damage that they did. As you know, Gregory Starr, the Head of the Department of Safety and Security, will be going to Nigeria and he will try to see what we can learn better about how our defences were breached. But yes, we have, to answer your third question, we happen…
Question: Just a quick one before that. What was the nature of… or specifically, what was the nature of the barriers and so forth? What distance from the street? Were they concrete barriers? Did they have the zigzag…?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: There were a series of barriers outside the building. There was a way, it seems, in which this particular vehicle-borne explosive device got through. In other words, the car got through a couple of gates that were defended by security guards. How that happened, how they got past security, we'll need to determine how that was the case. But we will try to investigate how our defences were breached. Certainly we have been — and this gets to your third question — we have been increasing our security profile in a number of areas around the world, trying to make buildings compliant with different potential threats that they face. What happened today is a sign that, even so, some attackers have been able, might be able, to breach our defences, which is why we'll need to look at this thoroughly and see how they got through and how that can be prevented.
Question: My first question?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: And your first question about the threat level, we don't actually give out threat levels. There was no previous threat on this UN compound in Abuja. Yes?
Question: Do you have any idea of casualty figures since the Secretary-General spoke a couple of hours ago?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: There are no real casualty figures that I'd want to put our names to. We are aware of numbers of bodies that have been pulled from the wreckage. Who those people are — whether they constitute Nigerian security personnel, people who were passing by on the street, UN personnel or others — that remains to be determined. And of course, for our personnel, before we would provide information, we would need to make sure that the next of kin are informed. But I don't have any figures from our side to provide to you that would be reliable. It is a large number. As you know, we've had some large attacks, for example when 17 people died several years back in Algiers. And this is something, in terms of raw numbers, that could rival that. Yes?
Question: As to the identity of the attackers, as is being alleged that they were some… in some quarters in Nigeria, they were Islamic in character, is that right?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: I don't want to speculate on who the attackers were or who they could have been. At this stage, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack. We don't have any solid determination of the attackers were.
Question: But they were… there were these earlier… there were these threats from the Islamic groups or not?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: There is a group that has, for example, attacked, known as Boko Haram, that has attacked a compound of Nigerian police in Abuja, the same city, earlier, some weeks ago. But whether they are linked to this attack or not, I couldn't say; we don't have any determination on that. Yes?
Question: A question on this and then a couple of other things. But on this, was… I mean, you… you said you wouldn't say what the threat levels were, but was this building, number one, was it "MOSS [Minimum Operating Safety Standards] compliant", which is the UN word for that? And two, after the previous attack, I know that there was funds raised, plans issued. Were any improvements made to this structure since the… since that last attack and the… the report that was commissioned and the funds that were raised?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: Regarding MOSS-compliance, yes I believe that this building was compliant with the minimal operating safety standards. At the same time, of course, it has now been hit by a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device, which has done some damage to the building. I don't have any answer to your other question, which is basically a larger issue that's not really about today's particular attack.
Question: Okay, can I ask you something that is beyond that? I wanted to ask you, the… the… this… it has emerged what's call… the… the [Ian] Martin report on… on… on Libya. It's a 10-page document, and among other things, there is two things I want to ask you about and both… as… as it appears in the report and what's more generally, there is a statement, apparently it's a UN statement saying that… that… that… that NATO's role will continue to have responsibility after the fall of the [Muammar al-]Qadhafi Government, and saying that for this UN planning, including for 200 military observers, that no further mandate is needed from the Security Council. I wanted to know, is this something… what is the Secretary-General's position on this, on those two statements?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: As far as that goes, I wouldn't comment on the text of this document, which was an internal document for the Secretary-General's information and for the information of his advisers. The Secretary-General will be talking to regional organizations at 3 p.m. this afternoon to coordinate planning, and he will talk to the press after that.
Question: One more, one follow-up. I mean, how would you characterize this… this pretty detailed planning with the idea that… that… that… that Mr. Martin and Mr. al-Khatib went out to hear what the NTC [National Transitional Council] wanted or that on the video conference today he is going to hear? It seems to be a pretty detailed plan. Is this a preliminary plan? What… what… what… how would you… what adjective would you put on it, because it looks inconsistent with this now out, you know, outreach after the fact?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: No, not at all. The sort of efforts that we have been doing and the sort of efforts that Ian Martin was in place here at the United Nations to do is to plan for a possible transition down the line. We are now at the stage where we need to talk with our various partners about that. But it helps to have concrete ideas about the way forward. And those are what, for example, Ian Martin and Abdel-Elah al-Khatib were talking with people in Doha. This is what the Deputy Secretary-General has been talking with people in Addis Ababa earlier today, and this is what the Secretary-General will discuss with the regional groups this afternoon. Yes?
Question: Can you say something about the SG's forthcoming visit to Australia; when and how long?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: We hope to have a trip announcement for you in the early part of next week. I don't have a confirmation about any of his travels, because, as you are aware, given the nature of different things happening in the world, some of the specifics of his travel are up in the air. But we hope to have some details about where he will be going next some time in the early part of next week. Yes?
Question: Will he be seeing the flotilla report while he is away?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: Like I said, we expect the flotilla report some time at the end of August. If it slips by a day or two, we will let you know at that point. Yes?
Question: Yeah, there is some suggestion… I think China has also expressed some apprehension that… it was saying that United Nations peacekeeping forces should be now deployed in Libya to distribute this $1.5 billion in aid because it fears that it may be misused or arms and ammunitions could be bought by it. Is there not a fear that… that has been conveyed to the Secretary-General?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: At this stage, the only thing I can… the Secretary-General has been in contact, as you know, in recent days with a wide number of people, including, by the way, by phone contact with the Foreign Minister of China. The only thing to say about any plans for a UN peacekeeping force is that it would be up to the members of the Security Council to determine what role if any the UN would have. Yes, Bill?
Question: A couple of things here. What's the plan for the mission, the humanitarian mission that went to Syria to report to the SG and or the Security Council?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: The Syria mission? Okay, what I can say on that is a UN team has completed a humanitarian mission to Syria, which took place from 20 to 25 August. Its primary goal was to independently assess the potential humanitarian needs of the Syrian people. The mission concluded that although there is no country-wide humanitarian crisis, there is an urgent need to protect civilians from the excessive use of force. The constant presence of Government officials limited the mission's ability to fully and independently assess the situation. However, the people it was able to talk to in areas of previous or ongoing unrest said they felt extremely intimidated and under constant threat. Beyond that, I'd like to add that the UN system will continue to engage with the Syrian authorities, and maintains its urgent calls for its security forces to refrain from the excessive use of force against civilians.
Question: So what's the answer to my question? The question was, is there a schedule for the mission leader to report to the SG, either writing or verbally? And then there is also the Security Council.
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: I expect that the mission will report back to the Secretary-General. As for the Security Council, it would be up to the membership of the Council to determine whether it is going to hear from the mission.
Question: What was the nature of the limit that is described in your statement, just there that was placed on their access or movement?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: Well, all I can say about that is that although the mission was permitted to visit any location that it requested, it is doubtful that Syria has fully complied with its assurances of providing free and unimpeded access.
Question: What does that mean?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: What it means is, like I said, we had a constant presence of Government officials, and the people who spoke to the mission reported feeling intimidated.
Question: But could they go… were they able to go where they wanted to go within the… around the country?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: Yes, they were permitted to visit any location that they requested to visit.
Question: Also, concerning the meeting on Libya this afternoon, what are the specific names of the people who will be participating via video conference?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: The specific people will be Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, who is the Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation; Nabil Al-Araby, the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States; Catherine Ashton, the High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union; and Jean Ping, the Chairman of the Commission of the African Union.
Question: Will Mr. Martin and Mr. al-Khatib also be participating?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: I believe Mr. Martin is travelling, but Mr. al‑Khatib is here in New York and he will join that meeting with the Secretary-General.
Question: Will he come to the stakeout also with the Sec… will he speak to us?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: We'll try to get him. Yes?
[Both Mr. al-Khatib and Mr. Martin participated in the meeting and the stakeout afterwards.]
Question: Just a follow-up on Bill's question, then I have two short other things. Did… wasn't that said… wasn't it said that in Homs that the… the… the UN mission was told to leave, that there was "a protest condition" and they… they left and then these people were shot and killed. Was that… how is that consistent with being… they were able to go there, but they weren't able to stay there, is that… or am I misreading what you said about that incident?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: Well, about Homs, yes, the mission visited Homs, the mission proceeded to Homs, a protest situation developed and the mission was advised to leave for security reasons. The mission did not come under fire, as was reported by some media outlets, and the mission is unable to verify reports of people killed after its departure, but is deeply distressed by the reports.
Question: Did Valerie Amos say that there were people killed after the…?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: Yes, yes, you've seen what her statement was.
Question: Okay. So, okay. Alright, this is what I want… I mean, you could… I wanted to ask you this, one, on this notification of… of next of kin there are… there is an article — and I'll… I'll… I guess I'll source it to the Concord Times in… in… in Sierra Leone — that the peacekeeper killed in Darfur, Mr. Shekou Mansarai, that his next of kin… he's, you know… he died in Darfur, was killed by assailants, that his next of kin weren't told, that they were upset about that. It was somehow reported in this newspaper that he was out gathering charcoal. So I wanted to know if that… is that… is that… if that's a function that UN peacekeepers in UNAMID [African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur] do? And… and the… and the… the other thing… and more systematically, the article reports that… that although the Government gets $128… $1,028 a month, that the peacekeepers themselves receive $450 with a $50 living expense and that the rest of the money is not given to the peacekeepers. And so, this is a kind of a… it seems like a pretty… pretty troubling report for UN peacekeeping. What's their response to it? Is any of it true?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: The logical thread of your question has rambled a bit.
Question: There are three issues, I had to break it down for you.
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: Yeah, there are several different issues. As for peacekeeping arrangements, we pay troop-contributing countries and trust that the troop-contributing countries seriously undertake the responsibility to pay their troops. Beyond that, you can talk to our colleagues in peacekeeping about the nature of those arrangements. Regarding informing next of kin, yes, it is our policy once someone has died in service to the UN that the next of kin are to be notified, and we have procedures in place for that, and that's what is supposed to be followed.
Question: Can we find…? In this case, the third one was literally they say that he was out gathering charcoal and so it seemed kind of a strange, well not, you know…
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: Honestly, you can talk with colleagues at the field level about that.
Question: But I mean, just on this issue of re… of paying peacekeepers…
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: Yes, Masood? Actually other people besides you have questions.
Correspondent: Okay, I understand.
Question: On this issue of mass graves being discovered in Indian-occupied Kashmir, which is being reported in the Indian newspapers a lot, has the United Nations looked into the issue and have they… because just… this has been going on since 1989. I mean, there were… they say that the dissidents who were killed in 1989 and afterwards in that movement, so-called Kashmiri Intifada movement, that the mass graves that are discovered are those. Has the Indian authorities complained about this, or how did these graves come about?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: We are aware of your question and are looking into it. Once we have something I'll let you know. Erol?
Correspondent: Farhan, first of all, I am… I heard that you are leaving today, and I want to thank you for everything, for the cooperation and all the answers and everything and wish you all the best in your endeavour.
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: Thanks.
Question: Sure. My question is, did you… did the United Nations plan anything for this — and sorry if I am repeating this question because I came late — regarding this Irene hurricane that is coming, since the main building is in the…?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: Yes, our security and management personnel are looking into how this could affect our operations on Monday, and we're coming up with contingency plans if the hurricane disrupts the normal flow of life in New York City. But we have nothing to announce just yet. At this stage we anticipate we will try to go about our normal functions as best we can. Yes?
Question: After this conviction of the MONUSCO [United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo] staff for… national staff for moving cassiterite, the Spokesman for MONUSCO has been… has said he "challenges anyone to prove that, apart from this one, there have been any other incidents in the past 11 years". And there are many people who say that there was an OIOS [Office of Internal Oversight Services] investigation of just this topic, trading in… in minerals by peacekeepers. So I just want to know, since apparently, I mean, you must all be in the same organization, what is the UN's position on whether there has been a history, more than one incident of trading in minerals by UN personnel in the Congo in the past 11 years, or do you… or is that statement going to be taken back?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: I wouldn't comment on what someone else says from there. Certainly, we've been looking into any sorts of allegations about this. I wouldn't make any sort of blanket denial of any previous improprieties. What I would like to stress, as Roger Meece has stressed, is that anyone implicated in these sorts of illegal activities will be fully investigated and appropriate action will be taken in full cooperation with the Congolese authorities.
Question: Whatever happened to the OIOS report, 2007 OIOS report, on… on mineral trading by peacekeepers?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: I believe it was completed and its recommendations were acted upon. Beyond that, the basic point is that all of these reports are there to inform the officials on how to improve the way that these situations are handled. Yes?
Question: Farhan, just as a follow-up, do you still believe that Monday, the UN is going to be open and the Security Council meeting on Kosovo will be held?
Acting Deputy Spokesperson: It's hard to predict. I don't want to predict the course of a hurricane or whether the transit system of New York City is working or anything like that. We will do our best to carry on, and if there is any problem with the infrastructure of the city that makes it difficult to do things, we will try to have contingency plans in effect so that we can resume our work as quickly as possible.
And with that, have a good weekend, everyone.

By John Spoto
Are your returns worth the investment risk?
While there are various types of investment risk the proxy most often used by investment professionals is a statistical measure known as standard deviation. In basic terms, standard deviation indicates how volatile and unreliable the returns of an investment can be. The more volatile the expected returns, the higher the standard deviation and risk because the chance of experiencing a large loss on the investment is greater.
For these reasons, bank savings accounts, high quality bonds and stocks have low, moderate and high standard deviations respectively. Because risk and return are correlated, we can expect (but are not assured of) higher returns from stocks than bonds and higher returns from bonds than savings accounts.
In 1952 Harry Markowitz, a Nobel laureate in economics and a pioneer in the area of finance known as Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), proposed that both math and common sense suggest that investors should consider both risk and return when making investment decisions. Furthermore because investors are risk averse, they should demand suitable compensation for taking on risk. A rational person, therefore, will only invest in riskier securities if they believe that the expected returns on those securities will be high enough to warrant taking on the risk. Otherwise, a prudent investor would choose less risky but equally profitable alternatives.
There are two central and related tenets of MPT that have important implications for the everyday investor.
First, by mixing different types of stocks that move up and down independently of each other, investors can reduce the volatility of their overall portfolio. This is known as diversification.
Markowitz further demonstrated that while diversification reduces portfolio risk it does so while maintaining and potentially enhancing returns. This is why diversification is considered the one "free lunch" in finance.
Second, because risk reduction through diversification can be easily achieved, the financial markets do not reward investors who fail to diversify their holdings. The result is what many investment theorists refer to as uncompensated risk.
Risk and return go hand in hand. However, for stock investments this relationship only holds true once they have been effectively diversified. Empirical research has shown that as investors move across the spectrum from broadly-diversified portfolios to those consisting of concentrated positions they become increasingly exposed to uncompensated risk.
In other words, there is additional risk for which they do not receive a commensurate return. At the extreme, some investors may hold a highly concentrated position of a single company stock, but more typical are those whose financial assets are skewed toward a small group of sector funds.
Sector funds are those that invest in a narrow slice of the market such as an industry like biotech or banking or a specific region of the world such as China or Brazil. They are diversified within an industry or geographic region but still expose the investor to unnecessary concentration and uncompensated risk. The explosion in niche exchange traded funds (ETFs) has attracted legions of investors who believe they possess superior insight into certain sectors.
There is no such thing as risk-free returns when it comes to investing. Those seeking to avoid risk will also avoid potential returns. Markowitz taught us that smart stock market investors focus on controlling risk, not avoiding it. The most effective way to accomplish this is by building a broadly-diversified portfolio rather than placing a big bet on a particular stock, industry or country.
Once the unnecessary risk has been wrung out of the stock portfolio, the only one that remains is the risk inherent in investing in the market itself. This risk is unavoidable and for most investors will be challenging enough to handle.

Charlotte Hornets
Bobcats center O'Bryant: Preseason is the time for a make-good contract
Free-agent center Patrick O'Bryant did a terrible job of making a first impression on the NBA seven years ago.
He hopes this Charlotte Bobcats training camp becomes his do-over.
The Golden State Warriors drafted him ninth overall out of Bradley in 2006. Being chosen that high left him with a sense of entitlement. It killed his career and still hangs with him after several seasons playing in Greece, Puerto Rico and the development league.
"I think I had a mentality of, 'I'm the top draft pick, so they're going to give me everything. I don't have to work for it.'" O'Bryant recalled after practice Monday. "That was a completely wrong assumption on my part. It ended up that I had to play overseas for a few years. I got a really bad rep and now I have to work past that – prove to people I am different."
O'Bryant is one of three players with the Bobcats on unguaranteed contracts. The others are Jeff Adrien, a holdover from last season, and rookie James Southerland.
An undersized forward-center at 6-7, Adrien has grown accustomed to constantly having to prove himself. Southerland, a 6-foot-8 3-point shooter, went undrafted out of Syracuse.
O'Bryant seems the most interesting of the three because he once had every advantage entering the NBA and threw all that away.
He's remarkably candid in describing that.
"I have to show great work ethic, which has been one of my biggest faults to date – that I tend not to work very hard," O'Bryant said. "I'm trying to show I turned the corner on that and prove I'll do whatever it takes to stay in this league."
He probably won't make his point in games. O'Bryant has played only six minutes in the team's first six preseason exhibitions. So he is treating practice like his stage.
"It's definitely different. I spend a lot of time thinking, 'Do they need me? Do they not need me?'" O'Bryant said.
"I've got to constantly make sure I'm having good practices, be in the right spot on defense, running the plays right, getting in the extra work before practices with Coach (Patrick) Ewing and the strength coach.
"I have to show them I'm getting better in every way possible."
Southerland might be a rookie, but he, too, gets the dynamic of living without a guarantee.
"You've got to play like every day is your last," Southerland said. "You can't afford to mess up, so you need to lock in every single day."
There are plenty of examples of players who built long careers by stringing together gigs season-to-season. Bobcats point guard Jannero Pargo has lasted nine seasons doing just that. Coach Steve Clifford said if there's anything to be learned from Pargo's longevity, it's the importance of the right attitude at the end of the bench.
"He has an incredible love for the game. Jannero year-round loves practice. Those are the guys you want on the team because it's contagious," Clifford said.
"There are guys, who are outstanding players, who will always be a 13th, 14th or 15th guy. Year after year after year, they are in that uncomfortable position of not knowing where they will be and how long they will be there.
"It's not an easy life, but relative to the real world it's not terrible."
Improved defense
It's pretty clear the Charlotte Bobcats have played improved defense this preseason.
It's certainly quantifiable:
As of Sunday, the Bobcats were giving up the fewest points per game in the NBA at 82.7. They're the only one of 30 teams not to allow 90 or more points in any game, one of two teams (with Chicago) not to allow 100 or more.
Their field-goal percentage defense (39.5 percent) is third-best in the NBA and they have committed the fewest personal fouls (17.3 per game) in the league.
Coach Steve Clifford says his players have taken to heart his defensive priorities: Minimize transition baskets, minimize points in the paint and don't foul needlessly. While it's dangerous to conclude too much off preseason numbers, they appear to be on the right track.

Addenbrookes Releases Report In to Myles Bradbury Failings
Addenbrookes Hospital today released a long awaited report documenting their investigation in to Myles Bradbury and their failure to ensure the safety of children in their care.
The Trust has confirmed that there were clues missed over Bradbury's conduct. He was noticed to be seeing patients out of hours but it was presumed that he was acting in their best interests by examining them at times that were more suitable for them.
Whilst the hospital policy is that a chaperone should be present for all examinations of children Bradbury consistently ignored the policy. When one doctor did confront Bradbury about this he said it was at the patient's request.
What we now know is that Bradbury was a predatory paedophile who appeared to be a warm and caring individual who did his best to help parents of and children who were desperately ill. Bradbury consistently relied upon his status as a consultant to dupe his patients, their families and his colleagues in to believing that he was acting in the best interests of the patients. By relying upon this status it was ensured that his actions were rarely questioned. This is borne out by a mother watching Bradbury slip his hand under her daughter's top without warning but did not question it as she did not want to question his professionalism.
However, it was noted in the report that he went on holiday with the mother of one of his patients, that he was also "awfully focussed" upon the impact of the children's conditions on the development of their puberty and that he used excessive puberty checks as an excuse to assault patients.
I have also seen correspondence directly from Bradbury to patients requesting them to make an appointment, again with him directly, for a check up. Needless to say the check up was not necessary.
I believe that had the above suspicions been raised and held on a central database all of the concerns from disparate individuals and departments would have come together and raised a red flag to the Trust triggering a much needed investigation and Bradbury's actions would have come to light much sooner.

I think that part of being a creative person is to teach others to be creative. It's very fun to do when those others are young adults eager to learn about design and art. This week for four days, I learned, grew and worked with four young ladies on how to use the creative process. Our goal was simple; to develop an illuminated letter using an activity that we would love to have in our city as the subject of our letter. It was an experience to see these four ladies in different places in their lives and in their artistic ability finding a way to solve the same problem.
Watching them sparked me. As a designer, there are times we cannot be completely present in our creative process because of time or resources. But after this week, I learned that if I am not present when I create, that is on me, that is my missed opportunity. Though the end result is important to the client and even to me, it is the process that I should enjoy. Sometimes we forget about that. I should say that sometimes I forget about that. I feel that the creative process is new to me again and that with what I learned this week, I can open my mind to new possibilities as an artist and designer.

And here it is - the post I promised you about my trip in Salento. First of all I thought it would be useful to show the places I went on the (google) map, so you can have a better idea. Salento is the south-eastern extremity of the Apulia region of Italy (wiki)... continue reading!
South and North Italy are almost the opposite and as I have never been more in South than Gaeta, I prepared myself to discover something very different. Very Different. Smoothly Shockingly Different.
These are the main towns we went, there are a few more + the beaches but Google map didn't gave them. The red spot is where our villa was- Marina di Pescoluse. (Salve was a miserable town nearby where the supermarket was.)
Once we arrived we were like: "Ahh. This is it. Ahaah. Ooo-kay.".
It was deserted, "the nothing" seemed to rule over acres of plain rocky red land and olive trees like a steady King... "No long classy riviera lifestyling or fancy shmancy show-offing to do here!", I caught myself thinking.. Okay, well that wasn't exactly what I was thinking as it was really all about relaxing with my family (and anyways, my party-vacation is yet to come!) but I'm trying to make my point here. Now back to the illustrated story: the only thing I could catch from the wind's whispers was an eco of endless emptyness making me feel inside .. a.. do you know the uncomfortable feeling only a spoiled city person feels when arrives in the middle of pure untouched wild nature? That. Embarresing, but true. Okay. And guess how long it went before it all vanished? Exactly the same amount of time necessessary to sit down in the first restaurant and being served (fish!!!). How primitive!
The food in general, was something which convinced us right away, from meat to wine, from fruit to vegetables: the freshest and the juiciest I've ever eaten, honestly.
I guess it was normal to feel some confusion in the beginning as it was all different and yet we were in the SAME country. It's the diversity in such small distance that impresses, not the diversity itself. So.. after a few glasses of good white wine, we finally felt like we could ambient ourselves pretty good there. We were arrived in Pescoluse, our vacation spot and "this is it-oh god.." had became in "I have a small feeling there may be no way to return from falling for this place". Unfortunatelly, that feeling was damn right.
So after pranzo (lunch) at the lido Venere (on the beach just 80m from our villa) we stayed at our place for the whole day.. it was so relaxing there and I even started sketching on our terrazzo. The second day we went on the beach and later on we discovered Gallipoli and basically so on... Almost every day a different beach, every late afternoon a different town, or the otherway around. About a week later we were tired and so we took a day off from playing tourists, it is pretty exhausting you know? Here are the pictures of the first evening. We went to discover the beaches near us.. there is a lido called le Maldive and this place is famous all around Italy for it's crystal blue water.
Patience, I may say, is fundamental in discovering the beauty of Salento, a province of almost abandoned yet still alive suburbs. All impressingly autentic and historically precious, generously ready to shine for those who know how to look.

A dip in general well being of a person can result in different ailments that require medical treatment for complete recovery. At times, some ailments may develop complications which call for immediate hospitalisation to prevent further health deterioration. Such untimely hospitalisation is likely to dent your savings and cause panic and stress in the family. Emergency situations cannot be predicted but you can surely equip yourself and your family to face any untoward incident in the future.
An easy way of staying prepared for any medical exigency is to procure a health insurance policy beforehand. The medical security offered by such a policy will help to ease stress and worry that is commonplace during any sudden ailment. However, to enjoy optimal medical security with all the policy benefits, it is critical to choose a health insurance plan wisely.
In India, a large part of the population is still ignorant of the different features and benefits that are offered when you buy a health insurance policy. It is due to this lack of information that most individuals end up with an insufficient policy and hence do not renew it after the end of the policy term. To ensure that the health insurance policy is the best insurance that your money can buy, you must carefully read different policy quotes on health insurance. The conventional mode of meeting different insurance agents selling health insurance policies is now replaced with an online search. This revolutionary shift in seeking information is preferred by many as you have quick access to reliable information that too at your convenience.
A search online is likely to give you an exhaustive list of the best health insurance policy in India which would surely help you decide better. However, before you sign up for any such policy, ensure that the features listed in the policy plan truly make it the best insurance on health. The first thing that prospective buyers of a health insurance policy must check is the extent of medical coverage. The policy plan must clearly state the types of ailments covers and the reimbursing limit of the policy.
Apart from the medical coverage, you must also check if the best health insurance policy in India is offering flexibility to customise your sum insured. This customisation feature will help you to adjust the premium structure in a way that will perfectly fit your budget constraints. The policy must also allow you to include essential add-on covers with a subtle rise in the total premium amount so that you can extend the overall coverage offered by your health insurance policy.

Recently, some of the most influential figures in sports, business, and entertainment convened in Las Vegas for the Sports Business and Innovation conference at CES, a widely popular event showcasing evolving technologies and industry insights. During this annual gathering of industry leaders, Maverick Carter joined Brad Allen (Executive Chairman, NextVR), Brian Angiolet (SVP Consumer Products, Verizon), and Vivek Ranadive (Owner, Sacramento Kings) for the event's "Future of Sports Content" panel that focused on the evolution of television viewing and the future of digital and mobile video platforms. As the CEO of UNINTERRUPTED, the next generation sports network, Maverick brought a particularly seasoned perspective to these discussions.
UNINTERRUPTED has become the go-to platform for some of the world's most recognizable athletes to tell their stories and connect directly with their fans. The premium content network currently distributes its content globally across multiple platforms, with a particular focus on mobile, web, and social distribution streams. Through its content distribution partnerships with Bleacher Report, Facebook, and Verizon's go90, UNINTERRUPTED reaches millions of fans across multiple platforms.
Virtual Reality was also a popular topic at CES this year, another area where UNINTERRUPTED has some valuable insight. The network's first original show, "Striving for Greatness," featured LeBron James' preparation for his 13th NBA season shot entirely in virtual reality with Oculus and aired exclusively on UNINTERRUPTED's Facebook page using the platform's new 360 feature. The immersive experience gave fans a whole new perspective, as NBA commissioner Adam Silver noted, "Until I wore the virtual reality glasses, I had never been this close to LeBron's belly…." Emphasizing the impact of VR, Maverick added "Using VR, the more you can really do a human connection through emotion, it will just drive more and more and more."

My Appreciation
I would like to thank you for all of your support with my site over the past few months. I am very happy to see that my web site is doing as good as it is, and it wouldn't be like it is now if I didn't have you Creed and Stapp fans out there for it. Just the fact that you still come means a lot to me. And I am very proud for being the young age that I am, that I have a web site doing so well. Thanx so much-I really appreciate it.
Oh yea...I know most of you probably think I have lots of time on my hands...well..I made this site back in the summer really late at night. I just added more sections as I got ideas. I just apdate them now mostly.

Argentina Bird Hunting & Wing Shooting
Click Here To Call The Birdman!
Hunting in Argentina
with ArgentinaBirdMan.com and RanchoSalvajeUSA.com
Welcome to Rancho Salvaje- the home of the finest duck hunting, bird hunting, high volume dove hunting, and big game hunting in Argentina.
Rancho Salvaje has been outfitting bird hunting trips to Argentina for more than 30 years. Daniel Zanuso, the owner and operator, was born and raised in Argentina and is a life-long hunter. I have been to Argentina 93 times and have accompanied hundreds of hunters from all over the world. My familiarity with the country, combined with Daniel's knowledge and expertise, equals a truly personalized experience for you, the hunter.
Rancho Salvaje operates differently than other hunting outfitters. Daniel leases around 20 ranches throughout the country, making it possible for the hunters to take advantage of the concentration of game on each site for wing shooting. Since ducks and geese are migratory, it is important to be very mobile.
Argentina has a stable political environment, and a very favorable exchange rate. The US Dollar goes a lot further here. The Argentine people, unlike other South Americans, are very warm and welcoming to Americans. The USA has a good relationship with Argentina and this comes across to American visitors. Argentina is a first-world economy that maintains western standards for food and water quality. All the water supplies are safe, and the food is truly delicious.
Because of Argentina's size and diversity of climates, the country is able to support a wide range of crops. To the hunter, this means a wide variety of birds and animals where you can enjoy the hunting trips to Argentina. Each year we add new ranches to our selection to choose from according to the water conditions. The outfitter scouts each day for the best bird locations for upland hunting which also known as bird hunting in American term.
We added a new feature to our organization: a dove special for Off-Season Hunting. I consider April and September to be the two best months for this special. Other months might be a little too hot for most hunters. I took a group of 8 people this past April for 4 days; they shot 15,500 doves. The only reason some of the hunters did not hunt the full 4 days was because they didn't listen to me when I told them to put a hand towel on their shoulder for a cushion!
Rancho Salvaje has been featured frequently on the direct satellite television show "KnockOut Hunting Adventures". Clips from our television shows are featured in each category: doves, ducks, pigeon, goose and big game.
There are many combo Bird hunts that are popular:
- Six-day duck, dove, perdiz, rabbit and pigeon hunting from one location from May 1st until mid August
- Four-day combo, same as above.
- Six Day: 3 day duck combo and 3 day perdiz hunting in two locations
- Six Day: Perdiz only with pointer dogs in one location.
All of the above bird hunt packs can be customized – look on the Price List Page for details
If you are by yourself or with just a few other hunters. I can easily add you to another small group to try and make a six-hunter party.
If you have any questions, regarding bird hunting, feel free to call me at 561-347-1279. If I am away from the phone, please leave a message and I will return your call promptly.
Roger ("The Argentina Bird Man")

Tips For Moving Out Of Apartments In Rockville
Most apartments in Rockville, Maryland require you to pay a security deposit. If you are going to be moving soon and want to get your deposit back, it is important to follow all of the right steps. Below is a step-by-step guide to moving out that will help improve the chances of getting your full deposit back.
1. Make sure to give your landlord plenty of notice.
Don't just pack up and leave without letting your landlord know ahead of time. Typically, your lease will contain information on how much notice you are required to give before moving out. Make sure to adhere to those guidelines. Otherwise, you could wind up losing your deposit.
2. Make sure that you don't have any outstanding fees that need to be paid.
When you give your notice, ask your landlord to review your account to make sure that there are no balances remaining. Everything should be paid in full up until your move-out date.
3. Take everything with you when you go.
Don't leave any furniture or other items behind in your apartment when you move out. After you leave, the space should look exactly the same as it did on the day that you moved in.
4. Deep clean the space.
The importance of thoroughly cleaning your entire apartment can't be overstated. This is one area where attention to detail really pays. Typically, cleaning is easiest if you break it down on a room by room basis. In each room, start at the top and work your way down.
Begin by cleaning the light fixtures. From there move on to the windows and window coverings, the walls, and the baseboard trim, removing all signs of dirt, fingerprints, and debris. If necessary, repair any dents, holes, or scratches on the walls.
Clean out any closets, drawers, or cabinets, getting back into the furthest corners to make sure that they are sparkling clean. Finish up by cleaning the floors. For carpeting, start by thoroughly vacuuming. Then, follow up with a steam cleaner. For hard floors, sweep up any dirt or debris. Then scrub the floors meticulously by hand to remove all traces of grime.
In the kitchen, deep clean all of the appliances. This includes cleaning the drip pans under the burners on the stove, taking the drawers out of the fridge and giving them a good scrubbing, and making sure the freezer is defrosted. Make sure the area around the sink and faucet are totally clean, as well.
In the bathroom, scrub the shower, bathtub, sink, and toilet until they shine. The cleaner you can get the space, the better chance you have of getting your entire deposit back.
When you are done cleaning, snap some pictures of the apartment so that you have proof that you left it in better condition than when you moved in. The final step is to contact your landlord for an inspection.
As long as you stick with these tips, the process of moving out of apartments in Rockville should go as smoothly as possible.
