Performance Based Navigation: Airspace Concept
Performance Based Navigation: Airspace Concept Kumaralingam Ramamoorthy - Technical Manager | January 3, 2013874 Views
Air Traffic Management has been one of the key areas of focus for continual improvement in order to enhance safety and improve operational and environmental efficiency for the regulatory authorities. The conventional navigation system uses ground-based navigation aids to transmit signals to aircraft receivers which tie air routes to ground-based navigation aids, making the flight path not only fixed but also operationally inflexible. The FAA has been taking a number of steps to provide incremental improvements to Air Traffic Management (ATM).
Air Traffic Management has evolved over time (dead reckoning, ground-based navigation, radar, precision landing system, secondary radar, air traffic control (ATC) automation, automatic data surveillance and broadcast (ADS-B)). Now there is a shift from sensor-based navigation to Performance-Based Navigation (PBN). PBN is the centrestone within the FAA's strategic plan for the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) program to modernize the national airspace system and is one of several enablers of an airspace concept.
PBN is a framework for defining navigation performance requirements that can be applied to an air traffic route, instrument procedure, or defined airspace. PBN provides a basis for the design and implementation of automated flight paths as well as for airspace design and obstacle clearance. PBN is designed to provide greater flexibility and to facilitate more dynamic air traffic management.
The concept of PBN relies on the use of an Area Navigation (RNAV) system combined with Required Navigation Performance (RNP):
RNAV: Area Navigation (RNAV) enables aircraft to fly on any desired flight path within the coverage of ground- or space-based navigation aids, within the limits of the capability of the self-contained systems, or a combination of both capabilities.
RNP: Required Navigation Performance is RNAV with the addition of an onboard performance monitoring and alerting capability. A defining characteristic of RNP operations is the ability of the aircraft navigation system to monitor the navigation performance it achieves and inform the crew if the requirement is not met during an operation. This onboard monitoring and alerting capability enhances the pilot's situational awareness and can enable reduced obstacle clearance or closer route spacing without intervention by air traffic control.
PBN offers a number of advantages over the sensor-specific method of developing airspace and obstacle clearance criteria. These include the following:
Reduces the need to maintain sensor-specific routes and procedures, and their associated costs
Avoids the need for development of sensor-specific operations with each new evolution of navigation systems, which would be cost prohibitive
Allows more efficient use of airspace (route placement, fuel efficiency, noise abatement, traffic management)
Reduced aircraft flight time due to the implementation of optimal flight paths, with the resulting savings in fuel and environmental protection.
Facilitates the operational approval process for operators by providing a limited set of navigation specifications intended for global use
Clarifies the way in which RNAV systems are to be used
PBN implementations are on their way around the globe but the adoption rate has been rather slow because of various implementation challenges, such as the need for the right navigation capability onboard with matching airspace and procedure design to complement. Experts are figuring out the best possible way of bringing together the separate areas of expertise that synergize to make the PBN. The near-term PBN roll-out is planned in the 2015-2020 timeframe, and long-term roll-out is planned in 2020-2030 with advanced RNP requirements and 4D air traffic management functionality integration for all aviation stakeholders.
The future will bring many changes, from new technology on the ground to sophisticated avionics in the air. The technology advances, but challenges still remain...

Chaos is ruling today's Manipur, the hill state in North east India. There's an economic blockade imposed by armed insurgents. All non-Manipuris have been asked to leave the state or face the consequences. There are gun shots, police actions, shut downs and landslides and flooded roads, because of heavy rain. Among this, an IndiaUnheard correspondent is reporting on issues that concern the common man.
Of all the Indian states reeling under terrorism and violence today, Manipur perhaps has the most curious case. For, this is one state with the most complex ethnic geography. The majority of the population is of the Meiteis who are Hindu Vaishnavites. But beyond this, there are several tribes living in the 5 hill districts with each calling one of these districts their 'homeland'. There is a Meitei insurgent outfit, calling for a sovereign Manipur today, while the tribes are fighting, albeit separately, for an independent state of their own.
Achungmei Kamei comes from Tamenglong district of Manipur. But she belongs to Rongmei Naga tribe. For decades, National Socialist Council of Nagaland of NSCN has been fighting for independence. The outfit has a vision of their 'independent' home which they call 'Greater Nagaland'. 'Greater Nagaland', demands NSCN, should have entire Nagaland, as well as Naga-dominated areas in Manipur. As expected, this demand, which would see breaking of Manipur, has put the Nagas at loggerheads with the Meiteis.
Right now, the entire state of Manipur is under an economic blockade. The blockade, which has unbelievably entered it's 5rd week, has been imposed by the non-Naga separatist groups, to protest the recent visit of a prominent Naga leader to Manipur. The character of the blockade, however, has been more of a punishment to those who support the Nagas. The food stores are running out of supply, schools are closed, roads are blocked, power cuts are more frequent than ever and over all there is threat of being shot at any time.
Achungmei's family has always lived in Manipur. She speaks Meitei for all official communication. Outside the state, she is a 'Manipuri'. Inside the state, however, for the Meiteis, she is an outsider. And for other tribes of Manipur, she is a Naga, a troublemaker who would one day run away with the land they live in.
In Achungmmei's words – I don't know how I should view myself. As a Naga, I support the Naga people's movement. But I don't know if NSCN is fighting for me or not. I don't know if it is serious about Nagas outside 14 districts of Nagaland. What I know is that every time NSCN talks about Greater Nagaland, Manipuris react violently. And we, the Rongmeis are immediately seen as enemies of the state.
Labeling the entire tribe as conspirators against the state has resulted in the entire district being at the bottom of the govt's priority list. Development in Tamenglong is always an afterthought and vanishing of forest and land raise little concern in the official circuit.
'Manipur govt has been building a dam at Tipaimukh for several years. There are nearly 1 lakh Rongmei families living in Tamenglong and dam has already displaced hundreds of them.We have no other occupation except Jum (slash and burn) cultivation and with our land being lost, we are threatened with starvation. We have no rehabilitation package. In fact we don't even exist for the officials.
That she is not exaggerating, became clear when I tried to find data on displacement of tribals in Tamenglong. There is no mention of a single Rongmei family being displaced.
Achungmei is one of the 31 people to have joined India Unheard – India's first ever Community-based News Service started by Video Volunteers - as Community Correspondents, to report on the stories from within their communities that go unheard. So, what kind of 'Unheard' stories she plans to bring forth?
Her answer is straight. The only identity her community has had so far is a highly political one. "We are either identified as conspirators, or partisans. Nobody sees us as a normal group of people with normal needs. We need food, land, electricity, education. We need our land, our forest. This is what I want to tell the world. That is why I am reporting on education, livelihood and water. Because these are our everyday stories. "
The world is listening to you, Achungmei !

Responsible tourism: Orkney & Shetland self drive vacation, Scotland
EnvironmentWe are committed to helping our clients 'see Scotland differently', and thats why we take great pride in showcasing the natural beauty and rich heritage of each of these magical islands as well as the inhabiting wildlife on both Orkney and Shetland.
On the 'seals and seabirds' trip whilst on Shetland, guests will not only view wildlife in a responsible way but will benefit from first-hand knowledge from expert - Dr. Jonathan Wills who will be on hand to share his in depth knowledge of some of the islands most spectacular wildlife; from gannets to seals.
Moreover, as much of the long distance travel is by boat (rather than plane or car for example), it's a more sustainable way to travel and gives employment to local ferry companies.
It is the history and incredible Neolithic sites which make the Orkney Islands very special. The main island (Mainland) of Orkney hosts a UNESCO World Heritage site which includes the breath-taking Standing Stones of Stenness, some up to 6 metres high. The nearby Neolithic Ring of Brodgar is particularly magical in the evening light. We include a Historic Scotland Explorer pass in the price of this vacation, which covers entrance to managed sites on Orkney, including Skara Brae and Maes Howe. This means that our clients can experience first-hand these wonderful, historical sites and contribute to their continued preservation by supporting the local communities involved in promoting them.
CommunityFor us, true sustainability means promoting and helping to maintain a way of life, where the economic benefit from tourism can make a genuine difference. Thats why we work almost exclusively with local, family-run businesses, not with large corporate organisations. We build close and lasting relationships with our business partners, based on mutual trust and an unerring commitment to customer satisfaction. We carefully select these partners to ensure that they share our values of sustainable and responsible travel.
Your hotel on Shetland for example dates from the 1500s, thus is a real historical cornerstone in the area in which it is situated. Moreover, this hotel prides itself in using only the best, locally sourced produce in its restaurant.
This vacation also offers clients the opportunity to visit some of Shetland's most remote, rural villages on the islands of Unst and Yell as well as other locations. This gives clients the opportunity to positively impact these local communities in terms of bringing tourism to these lesser known areas.
All of our vacation packs include "Robert's Recommendations", our specific tips on places to visit, places to eat and places to shop locally, all of which have been researched by us, and many of which are off-the-beaten track. For example, the quirky bus shelter on Unst is well worth a visit!

Hüsker Dü–"Pink Turns to Blue"
As a teenager, I liked to play video games. Duh. I also liked to play video games without any sound and listen to music. Duh. Anyway, when my parents were around I listened to things that I thought my mom (because my dad, who worked nights, was usually asleep) would like. That meant R.E.M. instead of Slayer or Hüsker Dü instead of Corrosion of Conformity. Except my mom hated R.E.M. and Hüsker Dü. They gave her a headache apparently. To me it sounded like The Beatles or The Byrds. And kinda like Herman's Hermits (they were melodic, you know).
One day mom came home from work and asked, "What is this you're listening to?"
"Hüsker Dü," I said.
"Oh, I wish you wouldn't have told me that. I was liking it."
(love ya, mom. thanks for putting up with me and my music.)

'Hank' Jerry - she's a tough talking twentieth century broad looking for a way to reclaim her writing career.
Jack 'Gent' Darcy -he's a strange blend of gentleman and hood fresh out of prison with a story to tell that could get them both killed.
Forced to return to the small town she left behind because of her aunt's health, 'Hank' will do her own time minding her aunt's restaurant, then it's back to the city to do damage control for her career. When Jack lands on her doorstep, injured and on the run from gang enforcers out for blood and hot on his tail, she makes the split second decision to offer him refuge.
As soon as the coast is clear, she has every intention of sending him on his way, but he makes her an offer she can't refuse. Not only will he fill the open position of cook, he offers her the exclusive of a lifetime: his no holds barred story as war counselor inside national super gang, the Creds. She'll shoot straight to the top, and he'll bury the gang, then disappear—a win-win.
But they've both got something to hide, and falling for each other wasn't part of the plan. With time running out and gang enforcers closing in, can the trust they've forged survive the ultimate test?
Find out in A Mighty Good Man...3 Days. 2 People. 1 Story.
Zip. Zilch. Null. Nada. Void. The empty set.
No text. No email. No electronic communiqué of any kind.
Scowling, 'Hank' Jerry—a woman who wore the self-made moniker the way some might armor—jammed her smartphone into the front pocket of her cargo pants and sucked a drag off her first cancer stick of the day, exhaling into the predawn behind her Aunt Henry's restaurant. The fluorescents overhead cast a harsh glow over this particular piece of real estate in Fiddler's Elbow, Pennsylvania—a throwback hunky mill town where dial-up was considered high tech and people still lived life one pierogie at a time.
From the shadows behind the dumpster, a man emerged and limped toward her, clutching his side, his chest heaving, clouds of his breath hanging in the April air.
"Hide me!" he gasped.
"What the hell?" Heart pounding, Hank retreated a few steps and threw her cigarette to the ground. Blood, bruises, panic—all of it oozed from this man who'd materialized like smoke. Tires squealed on pavement in the alley running the length of the restaurant and hodge-podge of neighboring buildings.
"Will you?" he ground out.
A dozen fleeting impressions swamped her brain. Muscular. Dirty. Unshaven. Murderer? Crazy? Eyes, wild and green, probing and pleading in the artificial light. In the alley, car doors slammed. Feet pounded gravel and shouts cut through the dark. Two people? More?
They locked eyes. No, said her gut. Not crazy. But maybe she was.
Rebecca E. Neely was born and raised in a small town in western Pennsylvania. Her father, an English teacher and a writer, instilled in her a love of words, and literature, especially short stories, at a young age. Her mother, a voracious reader, gave her Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild as a Christmas gift when she was nine, and Rebecca's been hooked on reading stories of all stripes ever since.
Rebecca enjoys finding, and reading new authors via her Kindle. Live music inspires her, as do the family and friends she's blessed to have in her life.
Rebecca holds a B.S. in Accounting from Penn State University, and worked in that field for about a decade. Since 2001, Rebecca has freelanced, writing a wide variety of copy for local magazines, and businesses all over the country.

The first thing people notice about Circus Vargas is its big-top tent. Hand-fashioned in Milan from 90,000 square feet of cerulean-blue and sunshine-yellow fabric, the canopy, along with spotlights and saw-dust-covered floors, completed the illusion of an elegant lost era when used in the 2011 film Water for Elephants. The last thing people notice is the absence of animals. They're too busy gaping at a man balancing a 12-step ladder with his mouth.
Keeping its marvels strictly human, Circus Vargas builds on a 40-year history by blending classic feats of fearlessness with surprising new tricks. The show features magic tricks along with a skilled hand balancer, a speed juggler, and the wheel of destiny.

Equally, the centrality of an undifferentiated, nameless viewers has been critiqued as extra very best-typical than sensible, given the historical past of efforts to section audiences based on identifiable criteria (Webster and Phalen, 1997).

Wingham's Central Park to come alive with Random Acts of Art
Saturday, June 23 is shaping up as a vibrant and exciting day in Wingham.
Ahead of the Winter Solstice Lantern Walk at Wingham Brush at 4.30pm, Random Acts of Art will be taking place all day and into the night.
Central Park will be transformed from 11.30am with fibre art, yarn bombing, music and dance, roaming stilt walkers, art market stalls, chalk drawing, and finishing in the evening with Wingham's own unique version of Sydney's Vivid.
Who better to yarn bomb Wingham than Samantha Everett from A Little to the Left and other textile artists? The 'Big Knitting Needle' is being activated and temporary contemporary art installations will be created and filmed in Central Park.
Market stalls will open from 11.30am to 3.30pm, with music, dance, chalk drawing, stilt walkers, and the creating of something very special for the Lantern Walk, all starting from 2pm.
Rachel Piercy and Jane Hosking, director and assistant director of Manning Regional Art Gallery, are creating a giant Manning River turtle lantern and inviting the community to help finish and decorate the giant lantern in the park on the day.
Lantern making workshops will start at Wingham Brush at 2pm, followed by the official opening of the walk at 4.30pm. The walk will wend its way through a part of Wingham Brush, through Central Park, and through town, visiting the residents of Whiddon Wingham.
Random Acts of Art will continue into the night, with 'Wingham Aglow'. Video projectionist Mark Anning will be projecting short films onto historical buildings surrounding our town green.
Random Acts of Art and the Manning River Turtle Conservation Group's Winter Solstice Lantern Walk are continuations of place activation events by Wingham Chamber of Commerce.
The Manning Valley Creative Collective were asked to contribute with activities to organise suggestions from Chamber's consultative meetings. Random Acts of Art is being co-ordinated by Tess Gardener and other events are being organised in the same week.
Random Acts of Art and the Winter Solstice Lantern Walk are now annual events on the Wingham calendar.

Random acts of kindness: your stories
Originally published July 25, 2013
TORONTO – Days after an Edmonton man walked into a Tim Hortons and paid $860 for coffee for the next 500 customers, an anonymous man in Calgary did the same Wednesday while two others repeated the gesture in Ottawa and in Red Deer Thursday.

The random acts of kindness have gone viral and have "pulled on the heartstrings" of many on social media, including Global News readers.
On Wednesday, we asked our readers what was the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for them. From across the country, many of you shared your acts of kindness stories on our Facebook pages or this page here. Stories ranged from "simple" gestures as having one's bus fare paid by a fellow commuter, to "grand" acts of kindness such as gifting rent money back as a down payment for a house.
MORE: What is the nicest thing a stranger has done for you? Let us know here.
For many, the kind gestures received inspired individuals to pay it forward.
We decided to compile some of the best responses. Read some of them here below.
Helped someone who was stranded:
"Many years ago, when my son was a baby, he fell ill. It was a Sunday morning and there were no buses running, so we had to take a cab to the doctor. It turned out to cost more than I thought, and as a single mother, I couldn't afford to take the cab home. And older couple saw that I was planning to walk home with him in the snow and went out of their way to drive us home, even though they lived nowhere near. I never saw them again, but I never forgot them."
"At 19 I traveled to Europe and when I was passing through Copenhagen on the way home to Vancouver my wallet was stolen. I only had my passport and plane ticket for the next day and no where to stay. A Scandinavian Airlines employee saw me crying and ended up taking me in, a total stranger for the night, fed me, introduced me to her family and took me to the airport the next day. Never have I experienced an act of kindness so great. I'll never forget it."
"I was on the bus from Toronto to Owen Sound, and the bus got storm-stayed in Guelph- the highway was closed due to a winter storm. I went to the ticket counter, and asked the clerk where the nearest hotel was. A lady there heard me, and invited me back to her home for the night. I really appreciated it."
"I broke down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. A stranger picked up me and my kids & drove us to the closest mechanic. Then stayed with us until we got help."
Helping someone financially:
"In college, I was buying groceries and had forgotten my bank card. It was a big haul for myself and my roommates- totalled over 200.00. I had 60.00 on me and paid that, was getting ready to go back to the house and get my card. The lady behind me paid the rest of my bill and said to keep paying it forward. I've been doing so since."
"I received $500 from a stranger twice when I was a single mom and working four jobs! This was 2 separate occasions, from 2 different people. I still have no idea who these people were."
"Last year, on my daughter's birthday (Hallowe'en), I was very, very tight for money. I went to the store to purchase milk, bread and a witch's skirt from Walmart which would have been the last of my money for about a week. My debit card was acting up and as I reached for cash from my purse, the young lady behind me had handed her debit card to the lady at the till and paid for all of it. Honestly, that lady was an angel for me that day, and reminded me that there are many genuinely good people out there. Simply being kind to others is a value that escapes many of us these days. Her act of generosity made a big difference to me that day and I like to pass on little acts of kindness now whenever I can."
"Wasn't a stranger but a good friend heard I was broke and had no groceries in the house and came with an envelope and discreetly handed it to me. When I realized what/how much money, I tried to give it back to him and he wouldn't take it. I have since paid it forward"
"When my husband and I were first married, we wanted to buy a house but couldn't afford the down payment. The man selling it told us we could just pay rent if we wanted for the first year. After the first year, he gifted all the rent money we paid back to us to use as a down payment for the house! He said someone had helped him and his wife when they started it and all he asked was that one day we help out a couple just starting out as well. We were stunned. What a generous gesture. Will never forget him."
"My boyfriend and I a few years ago went to the grocery store to get food for the next few days with only $20. We had very little, and the guy ahead of us in line was a very happy man. When he got his total, he said to add ours in with his, that he would cover it. We told him not too, then he said "You guys need some meat. Come with me, we'll get you some meat." So I went with him and I grabbed some pork chops and hamburger, telling him that was all we needed. "Nope you need more." He loaded my arms and grabbed even more and we took it all back to the till.. our $20 turned into over $100 worth of groceries. Most of it meat. We couldn't thank him enough. He told us, the only thanks he wanted was for us to pay it forward. We haven't yet, but we will."
Helping someone when they needed support:
"A few years back our 90lb golden lab was poisoned, I had a 45 min drive to get home to the closet vet. I had him in the front seat because he was having seizures and I didn't want my 3 year old to get injured by him. The was a bad snow storm outside, he started having another seizure, hit my arm and I buried my car in the ditch. Two men who worked for transalta came upon me, got my dog unstuck from under the dash, they stayed with me until the police showed up. One of the officers drove our dog to the closet vet, one of the men jumped in with my dog and the other man followed with the work truck. The other officer drove my daughter and myself home. My husband met them at the vet. Transalta never gave the two men a hard time for missing 2 plus hours of work and taking the work truck! Our dog ended up passing away and when I called the men to thank them for there efforts and to let them know the outcome they already knew, they stayed in contact with the vet! Even though it was not the outcome we had hoped for it was comforting knowing that these strangers decided to help us in our efforts in saving our dog!"
"Several strangers stopped at the site of our accident and did their best to help my teammates out with blankets, jackets and reassuring us that help was on the way. I don't know who they are but I am thankful for them every day!"
"My kindness bestowed on me was not from strangers, but my neighbors. I was a single Mom raising two daughters. I was called home suddenly to BC where my Mom passed away. My two neighbors took care of my daughters while I was gone for the week. Upon returning home, they filled my fridge and cupboards with groceries, bouquet of flowers on the coffee table and a sparkling clean home. I don't live in that neighborhood any longer but those neighbours are friends for life!"
As one Facebook user said, "little acts of kindness, put smiles on people's faces. Makes for a happier world."

So May 7 is supposedly International Tell Your Crush Day. Is it just me, or does this seem like a well-intentioned bad idea? No good can come of it. Either I get rejected gently ("That's very flattering, but I don't think of you in that way") or the rejections are more forceful (running away screaming, restraining orders, etc). Telling one's crushes about feelings seems like an excellent way to end friendships and cause a lot of awkwardness.
The claim is that if I do not inform my crushes of that status then they will not know. Hogwash. Either they can use their psychic powers to sense that I am crushing on them, or it is probably for the best that they not know. It is shameful enough to have crushes. Acting on them would be debaucherous. Suppressing one's feelings never did anybody any harm, other than crushing depression and/or dying lonely and alone.
By my count I have informed crushes of my feelings 1.5 times in my life. One of those times resulted in my first and only consummated relationship, which ended up causing a lot of hurt to the other party. The other half admission made things awkward (but in my defence it was a forced admission). This is not a good track record. But hey! If you have social connections to burn go right ahead and be honest about your feelings. What's the worst that could go wrong?

The 23-year-old last found the net in the 2006 FA Cup final, having been sidelined for the whole of last season after breaking his ankle while training with England, but he was on hand to finish a flowing 62nd-minute move to cap a superb win for the Hammers.
"I´m pleased for Deano, he looked strong," said Curbishley. "Two weeks ago against Reading he looked a bit leggy but he´s played for the reserves since and it´s done him the world of good. He can only get stronger now."

In a June post titled, <strong>"Second Lawsuit Accuses Cisco of Enabling China to Oppress Citizens,</strong>" I wrote about a lawsuit filed in Maryland on behalf of three writers in China, alleging that Cisco Systems supplied the Chinese government with technology and training that enabled it to oppress and imprison these writers and other political dissidents. In a disturbing development this week, one of the three named plaintiffs in the case was detained and interrogated about the lawsuit.
Dan Ward, the attorney who filed the lawsuit, Du Daobin et al. v. Cisco Systems, Inc., let me know that on Tuesday morning, Du was detained in the city of Yingcheng in Hubei Province by Chinese police and interrogated by senior officials from China's Ministry of Public Security. It's difficult to know what to make of the fact that Chinese authorities would be so bothered by a lawsuit filed in the United States on behalf of Chinese citizens against a U.S. company operating in China. In fact, they were bothered enough to arrange for the interrogation to be directed by two top Yingcheng security officials: Wu Xiaodang, deputy political commissar of the Yingcheng Public Security Bureau; and Chen Enhong, captain of the Yingcheng State Security Guards.
According to Ward, the interrogators warned Du about his Internet activity, which is monitored by the authorities; demanded information about his role in the lawsuit against Cisco; and sought the names of his contacts in China and the United States who had anything to do with the lawsuit. Presumably, that would include Ward.
I had interviewed Ward for my June post, and he explained what's at stake. Here's an excerpt from that interview:
It's not selling them shackles. They'll make their shackles on their own. It's not selling them an iron maiden. They can make that on their own. This is the means to track and immediately detect the individual who's sitting in an Internet cafe in Beijing and thinks he's got a level of anonymity. But because there's such a great interconnectivity from the Internet police to the street cop, that guy who's two blocks away can be notified within minutes that there's someone sitting in Chair 4 of the Lao Wei Internet Cafe that just posted to China Observer; they can tap him on the shoulder, and he's gone. It's like a quiet Tiananmen to me. It's not crushing people protesting in a square. It's crushing words, bit by bit. Cisco has provided the backbone and provided a great deal of the technology and training that has allowed China to do that.
For all I know, my name's on some list in Yingcheng, too, for writing about the case and providing a forum for Ward to spread the word about the lawsuit. If so, they probably won't like it that I'm including this excerpt from a statement Ward released on Tuesday:
Mr. Du's persecution began in 2003, when he received a four-year prison term for posting pro-democracy articles online. In 2008, his sentence was re-instated and he was imprisoned for an additional two years. During his imprisonment, Mr. Du was subjected to extreme physical and psychological torture. By the time of his release in 2010, Du was suffering from extreme malnutrition and cardiac issues. Du can no longer walk without assistance and depends on a wheelchair for movement.
Following his release, Du became aware of Cisco's role in engineering the CCP's [Chinese Communist Party's] "Golden Shield" and "PoliceNet" systems, the surveillance systems used to identify and track him and countless other pro-democracy activists and writers across China. Despite fear of retribution, Du chose to hold Cisco accountable. In June 2011, Mr. Du, along with Zhou Yuanzhi and Liu Xianbin, filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against Cisco and a number of Cisco executives for their knowing and willful aiding and abetting of the CCP's harassment, arrest, and torture of Chinese political activists.
The CCP seeks, once again, to undermine Mr. Du's fundamental human rights through coercion and intimidation. These tactics of fear and oppression have not deterred Mr. Du. We call upon Cisco to use its extensive ties with the CCP to ensure that Du Daobin, Zhou Yuanzhi, and Liu Xianbin are not subjected to harassment, interrogation, detention, or physical abuse as a result of their involvement in Du v. Cisco.
Calling on Cisco to use its clout in China to get the authorities to back off and stop harassing and abusing the plaintiffs in a lawsuit in which it's named as the defendant is pretty gutsy stuff. Maybe Cisco executives in China will scoff at the idea. Or maybe - just maybe - they'll remember their American roots and what those roots mean, and they'll pay a visit to the police headquarters in Yingcheng as soon as they possibly can.

My Oh My.... lovely, Mr. righteous don !!! Self proclaimed protector of mighty and BLOODY SOLD OUT United States of America from the SCUM of this world !!! Got too tired with Infosys, is it ?Reply
Oh! Don is just showing that he does have a full time job other than being Jack Palmer's PRO to keep sensationlizing anything that is Infosys!Reply
Patience young grasshoppers... Infosys will oblige us all(once gain) by sticking their proverbial feet in their mouth by yet another blunder . The clock is ticking...Reply
Wishful thinking...... They will settle this case for sure and emerge like a phoenix!
They have done enough to clear their names from these. They are not dumb to be in this business afterall.Reply
Even this one
'This strategic relationship will bring Brit Insurance increased scalability, flexibility and operational effectiveness to support our core business areas of underwriting, claims and investment management. We are looking forward to working with Infosys, which is a global provider of consulting and technology services with a proven track record of delivery.'Reply
For all the people who love to hate USA, please read the following perspective... You can put USA down, but never out....
Oh that reminds me :P...
Interesting link but following para in the article doesn't go with the taste of blogger:
"About Infosys Ltd
Many of the world's most successful organizations rely on the 133,000 people of Infosys to deliver measurable business value. Infosys provides business consulting, technology, engineering and outsourcing services to help clients in over 30 countries build tomorrow's enterprise. "Reply
Below is the REAL reason why Chinook with GIs crashed in Afghanistan....
Trust me in 2-3 years you will hear about Brit Insurance filling for bankruptcy. The list of western companies destroyed by India, Inc. is several pages long. Why is Apple the last American tech company booming? Because they CLOSED their R&D in India in 2006 and still hire Americans to write their software! LOL,Reply
The questions need to be raised as to why THAT MANY Seal Team members were crammed into an MH-47 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MH-47) .. Assuming that a 'team' is 300 guys, 21/300 of the kill team, maybe not the same guys, that allegedly put holes in UBL are now out of the picture. Far too interesting a coincidence to be sure.
Seems the Taliban had some excellent HUMINT on the movements of this 'secretive' team, if they downed it with an RPG (the chopper was either sitting on the ground or just taking off).
As well, the press had was given a PR package from the military to report these 'facts' to drum up more war. Great job, military PR corps. Whereas before, in a REAL war, 'loose lips sink ships'.
But Infosys? Really?
And as per real report...below is the REAL reason
"The Taliban has taken responsibility for the attack, claiming to have downed the helicopter with a rocket-propelled grenade."Reply
Mr.Wakjob the greatest idiot of America....try to learn google before start commenting.
So for Apple sponsored 2000+ h1b visas, and they are ranked 108th in H1 visa using company.
Talent has no relation to nationality...according to stupids like you it is. And that is the reason you get fired wherever you work and that is the reason any company fires you starts blooming.
If it so great to have only Americans why Apple still manufacture its product in China. It is all based on business sense and it has nothing to do with nationality.Reply
No one with a fulltime job can post this many comments all over the forums and blogs...
just google "CLOSED their R&D in India in 2006 + wakjob"
there are 1000's of different sites this same comment got posted. Either this is the only paid job he does or he has no job other than posting trash talk about India and Indians.
Wakjob is sick person to be in any forums which will turn the whole forum/blog filled with trash talk and keep away any educated reasonable person from visiting again or have genuine discussion here.
Aby blogger (in this case Don) has to wakeup otherwise his forum is just full of hate, racial and trash comments. I don't see any reason to have these sick people in a blog...anyone who can understand their intension but having their sick comments all over the blogs makes the blog useless.Reply
Fareed's Take: We've downgraded ourselves
By Fareed Zakaria, CNN
We have demonstrated to ourselves, the world and global markets that our political system is broken and that we are incapable of conceiving and implementing sensible public policy.
The actual cut to the 2012 budget, the only budget over which this Congress has control, is $21 billion out of total expenditures of $3.7 trillion-a pittance.
Everything else can and will be changed by future Congresses.
What the deal does is - once again - kick tough choices down the road, this time to a congressional super-commission that will have to come up with a larger plan to reduce debt.
And it does nothing to spur growth, without which the debt will expand well above projections.
The manner in which the deal was produced added poison to an already toxic atmosphere in Washington, making compromise even more difficult.
Democrats now feel they need to mirror the Tea Party's tactics and are becoming unyielding on any cuts to entitlement programs like Medicare. Republicans, emboldened by the success of their bullying, have closed ranks more solidly around a no-tax agenda.
But the only solution to America's debt dilemma will need to involve both cuts to entitlement programs and higher tax revenues.
Congress is more polarized than ever before...and that polarization has resulted in paralysis. More than two years into the Obama Administration, hundreds of key positions in government remain vacant for lack of Senate confirmation. The Treasury Department had to handle the global financial crisis, recession, bank stress tests and automaker bailouts, as well as its usual duties, with about a dozen of its senior positions - almost its entire top management - vacant. Senate rules have been used, abused and twisted to allow constant delay and blockage.
The filibuster, historically employed about once a decade, is now a routine procedure that allows the minority to thwart the will of the majority. In 2009, Senate Republicans filibustered a stunning 80% of major legislation. Given how the chamber is composed - two Senators per state, no matter how thinly populated - people representing just 10% of the country can block all legislation.
Is that how a democracy should function?
These dysfunctions come at a bad time. The U.S. faces intense pressures from an aging population, technological change and globalization.We need smart policies in every field.
We need to pare spending in areas like health care and pensions but invest in others like research and development, infrastructure and education in order to grow. In an age of budgetary limits, money needs to be spent wisely and only on projects that are effective.
But in area after area - energy, immigration, infrastructure - government policy is sub-optimal, a sad mixture of political payoffs and ideological positioning.
Countries from Canada to Australia to Singapore implement smart policies and copy best practices from around the world. We bicker and remain paralyzed.
If, as a result of these congressional antics, interest rates on America's debt rise by 1% - in other words, if the world asks for just a little bit more interest to lend us money - the budget deficit will rise by $1.3 trillion over 10 years. That would more than wipe out the entire 10 years of cuts proposed in the debt deal. That's the American system at work these days.

ELF Cosmetics Review
I noticed that a girl wrote to Fei asking of her opinions/reviews of ELF, and so I thought to write a review of the products I used of ELF.
For all these products that Im about to review on, I used these about 2 years ago, so it's not anything recent, BUT the same products are still on the shelf and I remember very well how these products worked.
Earth & Water Duo Mascara
Rating: 0/5
The formula when you take it out of the tube looks pretty nice, but once you touch your lashes with them, it's so gooey! I almost felt as if they were tar on me. Im not even kidding. It's ridiculous of how sticky this is. Just go put on Elmer's glue. It might be just the same consistency, or at least from the tube I got
Flakes galore! I rub my eyes and I see all these little black specks on my lids, getting inside my eyes, and down my face. Horrid. Oh, and I'm a contact lens user and my eyes are super sensitive so this flakyness I experienced is just terrible for us contacts users
Separation & Clumps:
uh, NO separation whatsoever right here. Clumps galore! It was one of those mascaras that gave you like 5 lashes at the very end after taking all your lashes into "one big lash" it looked very spidery
How it made my lashes feel:
STIFF like a board. I kid you not. My lashes felt so brittle and hard. It felt like I could bend it in half and break it all off. Terrible!
ELF Eyelash Curler
Overall: 4/5 (giving the benefit of the doubt, but in all honesty, I'd say it's at least a 3.5 to 3.8 rating)
Yes it did curl the lashes just fine, but it didn't fit my asian eye-shape, so that didn't make me too happy, but hey, it's $1 first of all, and most lash curlers, cheap and high end, tend to not fit my eyeshape anyway. I remembered I tried a Sephora lash curler ($16) at their store and it did not fit my eye one bit. So, if you are a person who has not found a single lash curler that fits (after trying everything else) , I would suggest you to buy this one since it's $1. If you're gonna buy a lash curler that doesnt fit, why not spend $1 rather than $16???
However, if you have found your "perfect fit" and perfect curls, no pinching etc etc with the lash curler you are using, by all means stick with it and don't buy this. This, in your case, would be something you'd carry in your car or purse as a "spare" for "just in case moments"
I know there are lots of people out there that this curler worked for them, but as for me, I think i'ts the fit that killed it, really, because this lash curler curled my lashes just fine. Yes it did pinched me, but it was rare when that happend cuz it pinched me when I myself accidently put it on my eyelid (yea, dumb of me).
What I think of it today:
I actually threw this away a year ago when I shouldn't have. I regret throwing it away! I bought other lash curlers that still don't fit my eye shape and it's like, I might as well have kept the $1 curler rather than spend $10 or so on other lash curlers if they're going to work just the same.
Eye Brightening Eyeliner in Coffee:
Rating: 1/5
Tugging & Hardness:
For my upper eyelid, it TUGGED like no other. I tried it when it was sharpened on its own when it was packaged, and then I sharpened the pencil with the sharpener than it was included and found that sharpening it made no difference. It kept tugging and tugging and tugging. When I used this pencil on my waterline (inner rim of eyes), it obviously was smoother just because the skin of our waterline is smooth, but really, its our skin that made the difference, not the pencil. It still felt "hard" going on my waterline like something sharp was poking me. I didn't like it
Color Payoff:
The lead looked MUCH darker than what it came out to be, but for some people, they might like the color, so I don't want to necessarily bash this pencil color due to my own preference, but still, when I see a pencil, I expect the same color I see on the lead to go on my lid, and that did not happen here.
It included a sharpener. it isn't the "cap-sharpener", but a totally separate sharpener that came with the package, and let me tell you I am in LOVE with this sharpener. I seriously would buy this product just to get the sharpener and chuck the pencil in the trash. Seriously. I tried The Body Shop sharpeners, Sephora sharpeners, and ULTA sharpeners, as well as a regular #2 pencil sharpener, and even the sharpener that I use for my Prisma pencils (art students know what I'm talking about right there), and NONE of them sharpened my makeup pencils as well as this ELF one did, so that's why I gave this overall Brightening pencil a 1/5, cuz the 1 came from the sharpener. However, the downside is that there's only one size for the sharpener, so you can't sharpen like those jumbo pencils, but hey, it's $1, and for an awesome sharpener, but bad pencil, I'd buy this again, just for that sharpener.
Oil Blotting Sheets
Rating: 3/5
It DOES soak up oil, BUT these sheets are THIN THIN THIN! The thinness is the exact same thinness like tissue paper that you wrap your presents with. It's sooooooo thin, therefore if you're an oily person like me, I ended up using 2 sheets to blot my face vs the usual 1 blot sheet with my Clean & Clear blotting sheets. However, at $1, it's still cheaper to use 2 sheets of this Oily blotting sheet than to use one Clean & Clear blotting sheet.
This thing is really half and half on me. Honestly, I like to use this blotting sheet when my face is slightly oily, so that I don't waste an entire sheet of clean & clear. Since C&C is thicker, it's sometimes wasteful to use one sheet only to find that you don't need to use even half of it.
So overall, for yall ladies or gents who have slight oils and don't feel that you need to blot a lot, definitely get this ELF blotting sheet. It's cheaper, and you won't feel bad for wasting blotting sheets since you don't need to use much to begin with. For yall people who are severely oily, this won't cut it when you use it for one shot. You need to use more than one sheet, so it's an iffy-type of buy. I'd say just go ahead and buy one and if you dont like it, dont buy it again. At least it isn't like makeup where you really cannot use it if it doesn't work out for you.
I have not tried any of their brushes nor their lipglosses nor eyeshadows. I think out of the products they offer, I would like to rebuy their Eyelash curler, test out one eyeshadow brush (but not ANY other brush cuz I know it'll probably suck), and I'd like to try out their eyeshadows cuz I've seen some swatches online and some of them don't look to shabby! =) But I definitely won't buy any of these any time soon unless I'm actually there at the store and it's conveniently there. I don't feel that ELF is something to go out of your way to get, unless it's truly your HG stuff. It's one of those "pick up while you're there" type of product.
I hope I helped somebody out there. And sorry that this review isn't as indepth and organized as my other ones. I am SUPER busy with my college life now and I've got 200 pages to read and lots of notes to take and a Pre-Test and regular test to take. Yikes! So yea, I tried my best to update my blog with this review, and hopefully it helped yall make a decision of whether or not to get one of these ELF products.
see yall later! =)
I really feel that overall ELF is a hit or miss--the entire line. Lots of people have raved on every single item, and some others have hated every single item. I think it's sort of like Coastal Scents how it's either you get super duper good items and then your friend who got the same product got them really crappy. Just like that. All the products are good in my opinion--I just think you have to be LUCKY to get that good item. The only item so far that I feel is possibly the worst of the bunch is the mascara. Honestly, no matter which tube you get, I don't think a person would ever get lucky with that mascara--it's HORRID. As for the eyeliner, I might have gotten an old one or a bad one, who knows? There have been people out there who claim its their HG stuff, but for me, I dun think I'll be buying ELF again. I think their lipgloss at the most...

the flat eyeliner brush is pretty decent for the price; the bristles are a little harder than say, sephora's, but it gets the job done. never never never buy their blending brush! total waste of money, as are any of the face brushes.
the single eyeshadows are ok (the ones the same size as the MAC e/s), but I never liked their quads.

I saw the eyelash curler in a store but didn't get it, worried it would be too cheap and poor quality. Your review makes me think it could be worth a try though, at least to just throw in my makeup bag for travel. It is a nice packing size.

thanks for the review! I see that aside from their eyelash curler, the rest of their stuff isn't great huh?

fuzkittie: haha! since you have the money for the better stuff, you should definitely stick with the stash you're currently buying =)
Mayaari: thanks for telling me! I guess I won't be buying the brushes then lol! maybe the dome e/s brush since I just need a basic brush to do the job...actually, maybe i'll just get the "Posh" brush some people have been raving about. I finally found it at my grocery store of all places O.O
Emilita: i responded to you on your blog, as you probably know already :)
agnes: oooo please do review on their lipgloss :) I did see on Irene's blogspot (if u look on my blogging beauty list) and that girl has a lipgloss in "watermelon" from ELF and it looked pretty nice! I would love to see your view on it upon the lipgloss you got ^_^
incandescent: well, from what I see, i really didn't find other stuff that great from ELF. The only thing I am 100% satisfied on was the sharpener that came with the crappy eyeliner. At least the blotting sheets did their job. It's not that they didn't soak anything, because they really did soak up the oil--its just that the paper wasn't thick enough so you had to use more.
the eyelash curler really varied when i looked at other's reviews! One said their lashes were completely chopped off!!!AAA! another said it worked better than her Shiseido and Shu curlers, so it's really a luck of the draw...

Weighing in on stamp sands
To the editor:
Deregulating Stamp Sands a bad idea. Sen. Casperson has introduced a bill in the Senate, SB872, that deregulates and adds stamp sands to list of agricultural residues that resulted from generally accepted ag practice when applied. Under the legislation stamp sands and their effect on the environment could not be regulated. If a company decided to harvest / mine stamp sands for commercial use the state DEQ could not regulate the operation. If it's a good business to commercialize stamp sands the business should do so under the protection of existing statutes to protect public health and the environment.

With all the talk of defunding the NEA, school budget cuts which eliminate or decrease access to arts classes, and a focus on hard academics over creative ones, many folks in Portland and around the country are concerned about how to cultivate creativity in children. As an artist myself, this concerns me, but, fortunately, living in Portland, one of the most creative and artistic cities in the United States, there are other options if the politicians decide to make some cuts.
Art, music, and other creative ventures exercise parts of the brain that are vital in problem solving and decision making. Art helps feed the imagination and can be a cure for boredom and depression.
So, while I try to show my kiddos some things I've learned, I also understand the social aspect that can make creating fun. Luckily, there is Young Art, a drop-in art center, located at both Bridgeport Village in Portland and inside the Washington Square Mall in Tigard.
My wife and I are both of fan of these drop-in centers. We can drop the kids off while we run errands, have lunch or meet up with friends in the mall. Young Art, with branches all over the United States, is stocked with water pastels, colored pencils, tempera and acrylic paints, pastels, watercolors, chalk, clay, and more. If there is a medium for your child to try, it's here. And it's quality stuff, too. Using this array of fine materials, the young artists express their own creativity, develop technical and social skills, and most importantly, have a blast!
Parents like it too. I mean, sure, you could set your kid at home in front a brain rotting television, or have them tag along and whine and complain that their feet hurt. But, why not use that time to educate your child, to let them use the expression that you know they have, and increase your enjoyment in the process?
They aren't just set loose, of course. Painters-in-residence and art instructors work closely with these miniature artists. Whether it's just a drop-in visit, a scheduled class, a field trip, or even a birthday party, your children will receive the supervision they need to really hone their skills.
Sure, most of us, myself included, don't want our children to grow up and be artists professionally, but, we also want them to be free to express their creativity and to enjoy and embrace their imaginations. Young Art helps fulfill this role and, whether you use it as a supplemental part of an ongoing artistic education, or as simply a fun and healthy diversion for your child, Young Art is a great option, and just one more reason why I love living in Portland, Oregon.

Flores is a long and mountainous island, with astonishing landscapes, rainforests, dramatic volcanoes, deep ravines and picturesque villages. Ancestral belief are still widespread in remote villages.Flores has great collection in megaliths and cult houses.
When you are in Flores do not miss the volcanic crater lake on Kelimutu mountain (1,640 meters) in Kelimutu National Park. This park comprises an area of 5,000 ha, and consist of three crater lakes each with a different color : blue, turqoise and dark burgundy. These colors are constantly changing and until now, there's no exact answer why the lake has different colors
This name is related to the three craters of Mount Kelimutu. Each crater has water of different colors, and the water color can change at anytime. Local people called them the red, blue and white lakes.
It is not unusual to see all these three colors as they are, but during the month the color combination might change to become red, blue or greenish. And the green color might change again into greenish-black. This is not the work of magic, but it is real.This is the miracle of the Kelimutu Lake.
Ende, 45 minutes by air from Kupang, is the main gate to Kelimutu. You can observe the change in color in the lake step by step in accordance with the rising of the sun in the East. It takes at least one hour for the mist floating above the crater to clear.
By the time the mist clears, you will be able to see that under the crater lies the red lake, known by local people as Tiwu Ata Polo. If it is the first time you see this reddened water, perhaps you will rub your eyes a few time. This lake is the only Red Sea that exist in the world that created by the God Al-Mighty. All the water surface, as wide as 600 x 400 meters and 64 meters deep, looks red and smooth, without any water ripples. The sight is amazing magic.
On the left of the red lake, is a lake with blue water. Its width is the same as that of the red lake, but its depth is 127 meters deep. On the other side is the white lake, in 1996 its water changed to greenish black color. It is 850 x 700 meters wide and 67 meters deep.

Safety When Doing Things Around The House Is Always Important
Making sure that your house is in proper order is a task that is entirely up to you. Now keeping the house clean all year around is one thing but you must also remember the most important thing, and that is safety. If you don't protect yourself and make sure that you always have the proper tools to ensure your safety while you are working then you will be putting yourself in danger. Of course the tools and safety equipment that you are going to need is going to vary. That is to say there may be some common tools like screwdrivers and some common safety equipment like gloves but there will also be particular items that you will need for some tasks. For an example if you plan cleaning out the gutters and all an ordinary ladder is not going to cut it. You are going to need a roof access ladder to do the job for you. If you have a smaller one and try to make do with it and try some acrobatic way of getting up top you will be putting yourself in danger. You don't have to always buy it if you don't have one, simply ask someone you know who has one. I mean you will only need it maximum for a day or two during the summer so if you can borrow one then that is really the best option. So the first thing you must do when there is something around the house that needs to be done is to first analyze the situation and see what you are going to need to finish the task. See this post to find out more reviews regarding roof access ladder.
Once you have identified the items you are going to need don't hold back, also as I mentioned earlier pay close attention to safety. Going with the earlier example if you want to clean the gutters or something it would always be better to purchase some roof anchors to set up extra safety coverage. You might not die from falling from the roof but at the very least I am sure that you will end up breaking some bones. It could also end up being fatal, you never know. Thus it is in your best interest to not forego any essential safety equipment. In addition to getting all the items you must also be well aware of what you have to do. that is to say if you are unsure about anything that needs to be done , especially when it comes to any minor electrical work it is advisable that you read up on it and have a guide to follow to complete your task. This way the likelihood of you messing up and harming yourself and others is low. Overall safety is very important as you can see. Everything I said so far revolves around that simple fact, so take it to heart and try to listen to some of the advice that has been given.

Girls Out Loud Episode 17: Incentives and Topless Female Inequality
In Episode 17, Maya and Cristina explore the difficult question of male and female equality, at least as it relates to a proposition passed in Massachusetts to legalize the ability for women to walk around outside, topless, as men do.

Great show. HOW DO YOU BECOME A GREAT MANAGER? If you find out, please let me know.
Swag. Oh yes. There is plenty of companies using swag (usually low end rather than high end) as a reward rather than actual pay. While a nice pair of headsets is nice, I can't really pay the power bill with headsets. Same with fancy titles. PM, Test Lead, Team lead. Section lead. Let's just have a limited number of leaders so the
Topless legislation…well if the people want it, who am I to tell them no? Free country. Just make sure that little bit of info is in the tourism pamphlet.
