Global Core Value #6 – Learning is a lifelong process
Imagine if ten years ago, someone told you that a cell phone you held in your hand would be capable of browsing the internet, responding to your touch, taking and storing photos and videos, allowing you to email, calling your friends via video, providing routes and maps to any destination, and downloading thousands of applications for fun and productivity for a couple of bucks, you may have thought they were crazy. You may have even thought, why would anyone want their phone to do that? Ten years is not a lot of time, and yet think of how much things have changed in the last decade.
It's not only technology that changes, the way we look at business, people, the world economy, travel, families and child-rearing, education, relationships – they have all changed in one way or another in the last ten years. We've had to adapt because the things we learn change the way we think, feel, and behave. We can't hold on to old philosophies and methods because the world keeps moving, and often the old methods don't work in an evolving world.
Learning keeps us current, keeps our minds sharp and our intellects challenged. It comes in many ways – from life and work experience, formal education, mentors and role models, personal research and reading, workshops and seminars, and internships. At Global, we value learning, and believe it is something that should happen all the time, all your life in fact. We value it so much that we provide a $2,000 training allowance to every employee each year so that they can take advantage of opportunities to learn. Learning not only advances your skill and knowledge in a specific area, it generates confidence and competence. It helps you to innovate and create, to think critically and become a better problem-solver. It teaches you to collaborate, and to take pride in your work.
But learning is also its own reward. The acquisition of knowledge and the thrill of applying something you've learned in a way the changes things is an amazing experience. Global employees are encouraged to learn – in many different ways – and to keep growing in their personal and professional lives, because as a company, we're better for it.

A controversial subject that keeps cropping up now and then in the media is the planned construction of a new High speed (225mph) rail link between London and the North. It shall be constructed in two stages – London Euston to a new station in Birmingham (Curzon Street). Construction would start in 2017 and have trains running by 2025. The latter half of the track is a planned link to Manchester and Leeds and is known as the 'Y' section due to its shape.The cost? In the area of £30bn.
The question is this: Is it really worth it?
There's not much padding that can be added, so I want to jump straight in and grind some facts together. Or try to. Both sides seem to have questionable facts supporting their arguments and it's difficult to see the woods from the trees. I'll be brief in addressing each issue. I fear it's too easy to get bogged down with statistical mud slinging when the conclusion is quite simple.
The main justification for the large investment costs is the economic benefits that will be gained from it.
"According to the document, the economic benefit of the first phase would equate to £2 for every £1 spent"
A worthy return in the long run – in theory. There have been doubts over these figures. The problem is there are so many knock on effects from effective transport like this (especially in the Y section) that it is hard for anyone to accurately predict the effect it will have. The side against HS2 argue that the figures are too false and don't give an accurate representation. The yes side have little to back up or give as concrete evidence to counter act the argument.
Perhaps an easy comparison to draw is to Europe. Their rail service has gone under various investments in different nations over the years, and can be seen to be an effective service and something to strive for. In this sense we lag behind – France, Germany and Switzerland all touting high speed rail services. If we fail to invest and act now, where will we be in 30 years time? Lagging behind still. The opportunity to upgrade will have passed and the time that it takes to perform such a major operation will be too long for the benefits to be truly reaped.
One common complaint is that the network is under huge strain currently and that the focus should be on this. Introducing a new system may help ease this strain allowing for work to be performed but still a service maintained.*
With an increasingly mobile and expanding population, infrastructure needs to be upgraded. If rail is not fully embraced, then we must increase motorways/road network (an unwise choice considering the direction petrol is heading and no suitable alternative in sight). Out of the two, rail is far greener, quieter and more sightly. While HS2 may 'only' be carbon neutral, the effect that increasing a reliance on cars will cause isn't exactly ideal. Perhaps the main advantage would be between Manchester/Leeds to London – people will choose rail travel over air travel, which is always a good thing environmentally.
It is not simply a question of do we want HS2. It is a question of we need a newer, improved infrastructure and what do we want from that. More roads? airports?. It is the sensible and reasonable option to have rail as a valid solution to infrastructural needs.
While it is an avoidable consequence that villages and communities will be disrupted, we need an alternative to cope with increased traffic and we need a modern infrastructure to deal with it. There will be some issues along the line yes, but it is necessary for the greater good. The complaints of small communities are valid, but so are the needs of the nation. In the past sacrifices have been made, and people seem okay with having trains currently running around the countryside.
There is one major crux that causes me to doubt the effectiveness of HS2 however. I support the idea, but the pragmatic implementation and use of, is the issue.
It will depend on how affordable the tickets are. There is no point building a £30bn railway and having a situation where tickets are £100 Birmingham to london – people will simply go for cheaper, slower routs and avoid using HS2, meaning that it isn't a viable option and all the points it was built for are neglected. A rail system needs to be accessible to and for everyone.
*That said, we need to address the issues with the system that everyone already uses. The time to get from B'ham to London is decent enough already. People can still work on the trains – however make sure the trains are running smoothly in the first place before building a new high speed link. The case for the Y section is much greater in my view, with getting to the north quickly currently an issue. The issue that the current system is plagued with should be addressed before we build a larger shiny one, the likely hood is people will be priced out of HS2 to use it as a valid strain-release.
In regards to the Y route, the main benefit would be from the North to london anyway – from 2hr20 down to 1hr 20 from Leeds to london. It is the same with the Birmingham route, but the phase 2 HS2 route would cut an hour off. The same can be seen with Edinburgh. Clearly phase 1 is not as effective as phase 2, and huge amounts of money could be saved and diverted to improving the current rail system already in place.
There is also a suggestion for improving the national network already – Rail package 2, often supported and highlighted by the No HS2 campaigns. It would increase the service run across the country (nationally, rather than affecting economic benefits for a specific area) for £2bn – a much smaller price tag. The cost would be felt in added disruption, however.
I am undecided on HS2. I would like to support it. I love rail travel, and think that it is in the national interest to invest and expand our rail network as an effective and green plan for the future. However, there is already an effective enough highish-speed route Lon-Birmingham of around an hour. The real issue that needs to be addressed is the latter half of the proposal in linking the north and south with effective travel. This would provide the greatest improvement for the greatest amount of people with the least cost. The main sticking point is that I do not believe that the tickets would be affordable for the every day user if the full scheme is adopted. Nor can I see the trains hitting full capacity or their carbon neutral targets. I take the benefits in that it will reduce reliance on cars and air travel, and wish to spread these throughout the nation in an national level of rail travel improvements rather than focusing on a single issue – either through Rail Package 2 or through simply diverting the proposed cash to alternate areas such as general improvements.
My thoughts are this: Delay and continue to look into phase 2 of HS2 alone. In the mean time focus on improving current rail infrastructure so that the services are more widely used and greener, and more accessible to everyone. Once the current system is working at its optimum then link the north to the south through high speed travel. I do not strictly oppose HS2. Merely wish to see an improvement across the board first, rather than on a specific service.

Two Stories of Opera, or Maybe Three.
Last week, the Metropolitain Opera unleashed Renée Fleming, their biggest living star, in Armida (1817) by Gioachino Rossini and Giovanni Schmidt. The title character is a Soprano Sorceress who seduces a young Tenor Knight to become her lover on a mysterious island. Rather than be happy with his incredible good fortune, he allows a bunch of other tenors to shanghai him back into the lousy army. There is a bass role for the sorceress' assistant, but no baritones. Oh yeah — Armida takes revenge on her unfaithful boyfriend and his armored cohorts by calling down a fatal storm on those ungracious tenors. SERVES 'EM RIGHT!
Boris Godunov (1874) by Modest Mussorgsky — this thing started early and lasted until the mid-afternoon, but I enjoyed the piece so much I plugged-in during my high-speed Internet session to finish listening to it. Bass René Pape sang the role of the evil Tsar — the real Boris was as evil as they got, which was pretty BAD! The imperial annals of Russia are a long parade of murders. Anybody who has seen Rocky & Bullwinkle laughs at the name anyway, so it's "good" that it's associated with "bad" — ENOUGH! The chorus won me over from the very start, and Mussorgsky's dynamic music always keeps me interested.
OK — one more, just because Placido Domingo sang Baritone instead of his accustomed Tenor — Iphigénie en Tauride by the rather important composer Christoph von Gluck. It premiered in Paris during 1779, at the start of the French Revolution. With the aid of Goddess Diana, Orestes finally shakes off the curse of the Harpies, and learns that Iphigenia hasn't really killed by Agamemnon — but their parents have still been murdered, and so have many others as the curtain comes down.
Mixed-Up Media
As a devotee of Comic Strips, I was surprised to learn of a syndicated newspaper series called Book of the Month which briefly summarized a recent best-seller in strip form during the 1940's. Allan Holtz's Blog tells more about it. Gilbertson Publishing's Classics Illustrated did a similar thing in Comic Book form starting about then, and continued into the 60's, or even beyond. They concentrated on royalty-free literature, though. What brought the subject up was a mention of painter/editorial cartoonist James Montgomery Flagg (famous for the Uncle Sam recruiting poster) illustrating Goodnight Sweet Prince (1944), Gene Fowler's biography of their mutual friend John Barrymore.
Fowler's book is rightly criticized for telling some stories somewhat taller than the truth, but there is still a lot of wit and color between its covers. One story about the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 goes something like this: Barrymore was romancing Isadora Duncan, but was driven out of his hotel by the quake. The U.S. Army took charge, and enlisted able-bodied men like himself to help with the labor needed to save lives in the fire and mess of the aftermath.
His family back east was worried, and were glad to get a telegram from another person who'd seen him in San Francisco, and relayed his story to them. Some of the family wondered if they could trust the good news, but Ethel Barrymore reportedly said (parphrasing further) He's chasing a woman out of town, it takes an act of God to get him out of bed in the morning, and a whole army to make him work — it's Jack alright!
My father related strongly to John Barrymore's life story, and the circle of brilliant friends around the great actor, unfortunately he died early from alcoholism too. Barrymore was supposedly at his best on stage — movies were literal shadows of his finest work, but his ability to memorize became progressively worse in the 1930's, which denied the public a filmed version of his brilliant Hamlet.
Miraculously, one episode of Warner Brothers' talkie The Show of Shows (1929) features John Barrymore as the evil hunchbacked duke known to history as Shakespeare's Richard III speaking his Soliloquy of Evil Intent from Henry VI Part Three:
Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;
Our bruised arms hung up for monuments;
Our stern alarums chang'd to merry meetings,
Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.
Grim-visag'd war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front,
And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
But I — that am not shap'd for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass —
I-that am rudely stamp'd, and want love's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph —
I — that am curtail'd of this fair proportion,
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
Deform'd, unfinish'd, sent before my time
Into this breathing world scarce half made up,
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them —
Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun
And descant on mine own deformity.
And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days.
Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous,
By drunken prophecies, libels, and dreams,
To set my brother Clarence and the King
In deadly hate the one against the other;
And if King Edward be as true and just
As I am subtle, false, and treacherous …
I believe you! I believe you!

I'm constantly saying how organic food is superior to conventional, and worth the extra cost, "pay the grocer now, or the doctor later," but it is difficult to convince everyone of that. Leu's article is great, because he backs up his premise with published studies and facts. He is much more succinct than I, and his article is very complete, he references many aspects of organic food, not just the lesser pesticides.
He mentions nitrates, pathogens, and salicylic acid, keep and eye out for those, and how organic produce creates more antioxidants then conventional, and why.
Leu is from Australia, and I like that many of the studies of different countries are referred, and not just those here in the US. Here is a link to the page of the references he used for this article, they are on the bottom of the page after the article.
Don't forget when you purchase organic produce, you are not only are helping yourself, and your family, but you are keeping all the synthetic chemicals and pesticides out of our environment, so you are benefiting us all. Hopefully, if we all demand affordable organic food, the price will come down to a more appropriate level.
I hope my readers will spend the few minutes it will take to read his article, I think you will be pleased that you did.
The Benefits of Organic Food
By Andre Leu, Chair, Organic Federation of Australia
Many people purchase organic food because they believe it is healthier than conventionally grown food. The organic industry is constantly told that there is no evidence to support these claims. This article looks at published information that shows that organic food is substantially healthier than conventional food.Nutrition
Research published in 2001 showed that the current fruit and vegetables in the USA have about half the vitamin content of their counterparts in 1963. This study was based on comparing published US Department of Agriculture (USDA) figures. 1
A scientific study published in the Journal of Applied Nutrition in 1993 clearly showed that organic food is more nutritious than conventional food. Organically and conventionally grown apples, potatoes, pears, wheat, and sweet corn were purchased in the western suburbs of Chicago, over two years, and analysed for mineral content. The organically grown food averaged 63% higher in calcium, 73% higher in iron, 118% higher in magnesium, 178% higher in molybdenum, 91% higher in phosphorus, 125% higher in potassium and 60% higher in zinc. The organic food averaged 29% lower in mercury than the conventionally raised food. 2
A peer reviewed scientific article published in the February 2003 edition of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry stated that organically grown corn, strawberries and marionberries have significantly higher levels of cancer fighting antioxidants than conventionally grown foods. Some of these compounds, such as Flavonoids, are phenolic compounds that have potent antioxidant activities. Many are produced in plants in response to environmental stresses, such as insects or competing plants. They are protective compounds that act as a plant's natural defense and also have protective properties in human and animal health.
The research suggested that pesticides and herbicides disrupt the production of these protective compounds. Good soil nutrition appears to increase the levels of these natural compounds that have anti cancer, immune boosting and anti aging properties. 3
Another peer reviewed scientific study, published in European Journal of Nutrition, showed a higher level of a protective phytonutrient in organic food. Dr John Paterson and a team from the University of Strathclyde, UK, found that organic vegetable soups contain almost six times as much salicylic acid as non-organic vegetable soups. Salicylic acid is produced naturally in plants as a protective compound against stress and disease. It is responsible for the anti-inflammatory action of aspirin, and helps combat hardening of the arteries and bowel cancer.
The average level of salicylic acid in 11 brands of organic vegetable soup, on sale in Britain, was 117 nanograms per gram, compared with 20 ng/g in 24 types of non-organic soups. The highest concentration of salicylic acid, 1040 ng/g, was found in an organic carrot and coriander soup, while it was not detectable in four conventional soup brands.4
Two comprehensive studies have been published that compared the differences between organic and conventional foods. Both studies analyzed around 40 previously published studies, each independently of the other. One study was conducted in the UK by Shane Heaton for the Soil Society and the other in the USA by Virginia Worthington as a peer reviewed university graduate thesis. Both studies came up with similar conclusions showing that there is overwhelming evidence that organic food is more nutritious than conventional food. One of the authors stated: 'On average our research found higher vitamin C, higher mineral levels and higher phytonutrients - plant compounds which can be effective against cancer. There's also less water in organic vegetables so pound for pound you get more carrot for your carrot.' 5, 6
It is no coincidence that the consumer demand for food supplements has grown, as the amount of minerals and vitamins decline, in conventionally farmed food. Many people cannot get the necessary quantity and quality of nutrition from food grown from synthetic chemicals.Pathogens
In the recent past there have been a number of media stories claiming that, because organic foods are grown with manure, they contain higher levels of dangerous pathogens. On investigation, all of these stories were proved to be false and most of the media presenters apologised publicly for promoting inaccurate and misleading stories.
It is a requirement of organic certification systems that animal manures are composted, or that two non-food rotations are grown on a manured site before it can be used for small crops. A United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) report concluded that the superior management practices of organic agriculture reduce E. coli and mycotoxin infections in food.
'It can be concluded that organic farming potentially reduces the risk of E. coli infection - Two studies reported by Woess found that aflatoxin M1 levels in organic milk were lower than in conventional milk ... As organically raised livestock are fed greater proportions of hay, grass and silage, there is reduced opportunity for mycotoxin contaminated feed to lead to mycotoxin contaminated milk'.
The report further stated. 'Animal feeding practices followed in organic livestock production, also lead to a reduction in contamination of food products of animal origin.' 7FAO (2000)
Food Additives
The use of antibiotics, anti-microbials, hormones and other growth promotants are prohibited in organic production. Where animals are treated with veterinary chemicals, they are not allowed to be sold as organic. Similarly the use of synthetic chemicals as preservatives, colourings, antioxidants etc are prohibited in the processing of organic foods. There is an increasing body of concern about these synthetic compounds in the diets of humans and animals used for human food. 5Chemical Residues
Many studies show that most conventionally farmed foods have pesticide and other chemical residues. Repeated tests show that many of these foods can carry a cocktail of synthetic poisons.8,9,10,11
A growing body of science is showing that repeated exposures, to cocktails of small amounts of synthetic chemicals, have a range of adverse health effects. A recently published study shows that as little a one tenth of a part per billion of one commonly used herbicide can damage reproductive systems.12
Many scientists believe these exposures, of minute quantities of agricultural chemicals, are very significant for children. The United States Environmental Protection Agency is now in the process of reducing current chemical residue levels in food to one tenth of the present levels to lessen childhood exposure.9,11,13
A study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control found a cocktail of many toxic chemicals in the blood and urine of most Americans that they tested. Other studies show that most living organisms carry a cocktail of synthetic man made chemicals. Only now are scientists beginning to understand the detrimental effects of minute amounts of these artificial toxins.9,10,14
Peer reviewed published research has demonstrated that many of these types of chemicals are known to disrupt the hormone, nervous and immune systems. The escalating increase of certain types of cancers such as lymphoma, leukemia, breast, uterine and prostate cancers are linked to agricultural and other synthetic chemicals. Similarly, a good body of scientific research also links these chemicals to the dramatic increases in autoimmune diseases such as asthma and chronic fatigue syndrome. Cancers such as Non Hodgkin's lymphoma have gone from being one of the rarest cancers to one of the fastest growing cancers amongst people exposed to agricultural chemicals. 9,10,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23
A detailed scientific analysis of organic fruits and vegetables, published in the peer-reviewed journal Food Additives and Contaminants, showed that organic foods have significantly less pesticide residues than conventionally grown foods. 8
Most importantly scientific studies are beginning to show that that eating organic food results in lower levels of these pervasive chemicals in humans.
A study published in the peer reviewed journal, Environmental Health Perspectives, found that children who eat organic foods have lower levels of one class of agricultural pesticides in their bodies. The University of Washington researchers who conducted the study concluded 'The dose estimates suggest that consumption of organic fruits, vegetables, and juice can reduce children's exposure levels from above to below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's current guidelines, thereby shifting exposures from a range of uncertain risk to a range of negligible risk. Consumption of organic produce appears to provide a relatively simple way for parents to reduce their children's exposure to OP pesticides.' 11
The use of soluble chemical fertilisers has resulted in high nitrate concentrations in many conventionally farmed foods, especially in fruits and vegetables. Leafy vegetables can have the highest concentrations. The leaching of these fertilisers has also resulted in high nitrate levels in some drinking water systems around the world.
High nitrate content in food and drinking water can be converted to nitrosamines that are carcinogens. Nitrates can impair the ability of the blood to carry oxygen, and may pose a risk of methemoglobinemia. 7
This is a condition that can occur in infants and adults with a diminished capability to secrete gastric acid. A rise in the pH in their digestive system allows bacteria to proliferate, increasing the transformation of nitrate to nitrite. When this nitrite is absorbed into the bloodstream, it oxidizes iron in the hemoglobin of red blood cells to form methemoglobin, which lacks hemoglobin's oxygen-carrying ability. In severe cases this can be one of the causes of Blue Baby syndrome, however in most cases the symptoms would be tiredness, lethargy and a general feeling of being unwell.
The nitrate content of organically grown crops is usually significantly lower than in conventionally grown products. The governments of Germany and France have encouraged conversion to organic farming in certain areas in a bid to improve water quality, particularly in relation to its nitrate content.7Conclusion
The United Nations FAO states the case very succinctly. 'It has been demonstrated that organically produced foods have lower levels of pesticide and veterinary drug residues and, in many cases, lower nitrate contents. Animal feeding practices followed in organic livestock production, also lead to a reduction in contamination of food products of animal origin.' 7
The facts show that organic food has significant health benefits because it has negligible chemical residues, pathogens and higher nutritional values when compared to conventionally farmed food.

Customizing the layout
Nobody is perfect. In fact, it is impossible to create an automatic layout algorithm that will serve all needs. To overcome this deficiency, uDraw(Graph) offers powerful interactive fine-tuning functions to manipulate a graph visualization after the automatic layout has done its work. And that is more than just moving a node with the mouse randomly. Instead, the user can change the order of nodes at a level or move groups of nodes to another position. It is even possible to move a node to a different level without losing a hierarchical representation (i.e. successor nodes at deeper levels are moved as well, if necessary). Such advanced customizations are only possible with the help of the incremental layout of uDraw(Graph).

I placed mouse bait pellets on the floor of my garage near the wall where there was a hole. No cats or large animals can get in the garage. I have bad mouse problems in my garage since I insulated it.
Out of the corner of my eye I spied something brown come out of the hole and went back in. I got closer about 3 ft away and couldn't figure why the mouse couldn't see me. It was a vowl and it was taking my pellets to fill it's larder. Felt sorry for the little guy, all he was doing was trying to survive the winter with this peanut flavored treasure. He must have felt he hit the jackpot. In and out he went until this morning there was nothing left of the pile.
I only hope he didn't suffer much, but I hear warfarin is a painful way to go. I'm not putting bait on the floor anymore.
Voles look a lot like mice except their tails are real short. I believe that they can see. I don't think they move as fast as a mouse either.

The central instrument screen has a touchscreen function for the first time in a MINI, while ALL4, four-wheel drive is offered on every engine variant, as is a Steptronic 8-speed automatic gearbox in place of the standard 6-speed manual. The vehicle comes in Cooper, Cooper D, Cooper S and Cooper SD versions, offering diesel or petrol options with between 136hp and 192hp. The Cooper S can manage a 0-60mph sprint in as little as 7.0 seconds, while the Cooper D can record fuel economy figures of up to 64.2 mpg combined. Later in the year the first ever MINI with a plug-in hybrid drive will be available in the form of the Countryman Cooper S E. This pairs a turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor to return a 0-60mph time under 7 seconds but also improving fuel economy to 134.5mpg combined. The Countryman is available with electronic tailgate control to allow for touch-free opening and closing of the tailgate, but also comes with clever options such as the MINI Picnic Bench - a foldout loading sill cushion on the luggage compartment lid for outdoor use. The new MINI Countryman is available to order from £22,465 for the Countryman Cooper petrol model, and for more information on the MINI Countryman range, contact JCT600 MINI Bradford today.

DUBAI // One hundred and seventy buses will be used to ferry passengers to and from car parks across the emirate this New Year's Eve.
The Road and Transport Authority (RTA) said it will close the Burj Khalifa Metro station at 10pm on New Year's Eve and the public will be directed instead to the Financial Centre and Business Bay stations.
About 900,000 people are expected to use the Metro service on December 31 and 480,000 on New Year's Day itself, the RTA said.
"The team had taken every action needed to ease the flow of traffic within Burj Khalifa during the New Year's celebrations," said Maitha bin Udai, chief executive of Roads and Traffic Agency and head of the traffic movement and the handling of operational plans during annual events team.
"The plan includes the provision of extra parking slots, and more feeder buses shuttling round-the-clock until 1am on Saturday."
Buses and taxis will be able to use dedicated lanes, and Ms Bin Udai advised motorists to avoid the Financial Centre Street and Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard after 8pm on Thursday.
Only traffic exiting the area and the emergency vehicles will be allowed access.
Al Asayel Street from Oud Metha to Burj Khalifa will be closed and reserved for RTA buses providing free shuttles from the Al Wasl Parking yard to the pick-up and drop-off point at Al Abraj Street at Burj Khalifa.
"This year, the team has provided 5,000 additional parking slots to support the 17,000 slots within the events area," she said.
These additional spaces include 1,500 spaces at the Trade Centre, 2,000 at Al Wasl Club, 500 at Al Jafliya at the Residency and Foreigners Affairs Department, and 1,000 at Zabeel Park.
Dubai Police will supervise a temporary pedestrian crossing point on Sheikh Zayed Road near the Burj Khalifa Metro station.
Plans have also been made to make sure that there will be enough taxis available for booking to meet demand, said Ms Bin Udai.
Staff in the RTA's control room will monitor traffic signals in the area to make sure traffic flows as smoothly as possible and signs have been erected to guide the public to alternative roads if needed.
Ms Bin Udai urged New Year's Eve revellers to use the Metro and public transport rather than their own vehicles.

My calendar on my computer has nine colors on it to track everything and everyone. Hell, the rainbow only has six! And yes, the parenting books suck because no one is YOU WITH YOUR KIDS! The dynamic is absolutely unique. My only consolation is that some of my childless friends who used to roll their eyes at me have just recently shed their childless selves & I can't wait to see them start pulling their hair out.

Brandy has been talking about developing her own show for a couple of years now and it looks like her wish is coming true through the eyes of hit maker, Tyler Perry, and is working on her own TV show slightly based off of her old show "Moesha"
Brandy has been talking about doing her own TV show for a while now, and everything is finally falling into place for her! She recently teamed up with Tyler Perry and is working on her own TV show slightly based off of her old show "Moesha". We're not sure if it will be a continuation or a completely different show, but we do now that William Allen Young and Sheryl Lee Ralph (Frank and Dee from Moesha) will be portraying her parents again in this new show. Sources say it will be more mature but will still be comedic and family orientated. Tyler is negotiating with Oprah to get it on OWN but if that doesn't work out, BET or TBS would be a great back up.
Brandy and Tyler have not confirmed the news, but I hope so….I love that show.

text: It has been raining steadily since Saturday morning. Therefore, I spent most of the weekend inside my cottage, listening to Harry Potter, completing my puzzle, and tending to the massive leak in my living room. The rain broke for a few sweet hours on Sunday, so I decided to walk the mile and a half to the end of my street where there is a cute ice cream stand. It was closed, so I walked home. If life stays this exciting, I'll never know how to stand it.

So my Fur didn't work out so great. I now tried out Maya's Hair feature. I started the same way by creating a new set of polys to act as the scalp.
There are two ways to make hair (at this point in time I only knew about one way, and as I find out later it's not the best way to do this if you want to make it dynamic but great if you want just a still shot) So I started by making a lod of curves that follow the head shape. To do this I just draw along the scalp with the CV Curve Tool. I then added a few random curves in between.
Once that is done I went to dynamics > Hair > Assign Hair System > New Hair System.
I then went and selected the scalp and Hair > Create Hair and then placed the hairs to the new hair system that I just made. Usually you would just create hairs and go from there but because I created teh curves first and wanted the hair to follow those curves I had to first assign a hair system to the curves.
You will then get something that looks like this. This is where I spent most of my time wondering why there is two types of hair systems here. If you look at my Outliner Maya has created a bunch of hairs following the curves I made but it has also created an entirely new set of follicles pointing out around the head. To get rid of these I had to delete the HairSystem2Follicles and leave the HairSystem2OutputCurves
This is the result with some minor tweaks to the attributes. Not that impressive but hey, I can finally say I have created hair!!
To make the hair look more realistic I had to tweak the curves I originally made. I deleted a few of the random ones that start half way down the hair, this made it look very patchy in places. I then edited the directions of the curves by going into Componant Mode and soft selecting the points and using the translate, rotate and scale tools to alter them.
Now I have a much more realistic look that acts similair to real hair. It follows the ear around to the back of the head and has a nice side fringe at the front.
The only problem I had here is again I couldn't seem to get it to react to wind or even collide with the head. I also thought that the hair is looking quite long and quite soft so it would need some very accurate dynamics if I wanted to make it look realistic. If I could make the hair slightly shorter, more clumpier and a bit curlier then the hair wouldn't react to wind as much. Time to start this again from scratch ....

I am surprised at the other reviews, as the people sitting opposite us also agreed the food was great. We were also enticed in by the lady at the front, no chance we would have chosen it otherwise, very glad we did though. If you are there try the Mahi Mahi or the Chicken Curry, they were both delicious and the place was nice and quiet unlike the rest of Duval St.

Melinda Gates tells Duke grads: It's all about your real connections
Martin Luther King was not a computer programmer, so he called this concept a brotherhood. His hope was that college students could bring a brotherhood into being. Dr. King thought the world had shrunk as much as it was going to shrink -- in his words, we'd "dwarfed distance and placed time in chains." So the fact that people still didn't treat each other like brothers and sisters was, to him, an ethical failure.
I take a slightly different view. I believe we are finally creating the scientific and technological tools to turn the world into a neighborhood. And that gives you an amazing ethical opportunity no one has ever had before.
You can light up a network of 7 billion people with long-lasting and highly motivating human connections.
You have spent four years at one of the world's finest universities acquiring the knowledge and skills to succeed at everything you do.
So what will you do?
I hope you will use to the tool of technology to do what you already had it in your heart to do ... To connect ... To make of this world a brotherhood ... and a sisterhood ...
I can't wait to see what it looks like when you do.
Congratulations again.

To ad the spontaneousness of my new life direction, Miss B and I decided to take a roadtrip one evening.....to Ballarat (for those of you who are not aware, it is a semi country town 2 hours drive from Melbourne. Now, you may ask, at 5:45 on a thursday evening after a whole day of uni (and by whole day i mean brunching in the morning at 'The Local' before going to class for 3 hours), why the hell would you want to do that? Well! I have one word for you, dear reader.
So, we embarked on our adventure with a fabulous mix of obnoxiously happy 90's tunes, watching the lights go by along the Westgate, yelling at bad drivers and gradually being able to see the stars again :)
We reached the township of Ballart despite my directions :P yet, where was this elusive Karova lounge ?????!!! After much driving around and directions from Master T via telepathy we found it hiding out on camp street *giggle* to find that we were seriously early and that Bonjah were in the middle of doing sound check :D so we rocked out outside the place with the friendly security guard, and Miss B continued our reputation as serial band and musician freaks by scaring the bass player by sticking her head through the window while they were playing. Hehe
But yes, the Karavoa lounge turned out to be an excellent surprise :) it was like a cross between the Corner Hotel and Ruby's Lounge, with the best bits of both, and it appeared that all of Ballarats cute indie guy with good taste in music population had congregated there that night to drink beer and dance and have fun :) so after a bit of duck hunting (not the literal kind), Miss B and I spotted some of the band members milling aroud the crowd :) and after some shy glances and mental squeeing we made the resolve to talk to them before the night was out.
Needless to say, the concert was awesome...i needed a few beers but soon i was rocking out and dancing like a spaz like the rest of them (now really, who was going to know me in Ballarat?) to the slammin slinkster cool beats of Bonjah.
The set finished, and, red faced and sweaty from the beer and dancing, it was time to fullfil our mission. We sat sheepishly near the band entrance for a while, so entranced by the possibility of meeting them, Miss B didnt notice the seriously cute tech guy that kept shooting glances her way (he was quite a scrumptious biscuit). Miss B bought their EP and thanks to my alcohol fuelled confidence, got 3 members, including yummy lead singer Glenn to sign it for her :D :D we chatted and drank, our mission fullfilled. But there was still the unfinished buisness with cute tech guy, who continued to direct his eyes and smiles in our direction. With beer confidence still circulating in my veins, i convinced Miss B to leave her number next to his tech stuff.....we decided to keep the illusion of mystery, because there is nothing more dissapointing than pointless small talk.
All in all it was a very good adventure, and it was about to get better....after bailing from the Karova giddy with beats beer and Bonjah at about 12:30 am we started to make the long trip back to Melbourne :( We stopped at the servo about halfway home to buy pringles and iced coffee to stop Miss B from falling asleep at the wheel, which turned out to be a fabulous idea because who did we see passing us on the highway? only the Bonjah tour van!!!!!!! :D:D:D Our band freak status was elevated as we followed them most of the way home, full of giggles and obnoxiously upbeat music, and in all our excitement got lost and didn't make it home until 3 in the morning -_- But, as you can see it was totally worth it :D
So, yes, it was much much slammin' fun, and i can't wait to do it all again next week for the Basics :) Be prepared for the serial band freaks, Karova Lounge, we may make you our new 'Local'!!

Brunchgasms :)
Today began with brunch with the fabulous Miss B (short for Ruby) down an alley on Bourke street, during which I had my first ever omlette :) it was deliciously yum but i could only eat about half because I'm not used to such rich food. But hooray for expanding food horizons :D thenwe went on to buy random crap from the reject shop to amuse our erratic attention spans :P including $2.50 tamagotchis to amuse ourselves in class.... so far mine has died 3 times: And they want me to take care of real animals for a living?
Time spent at uni these days is time wasted. Day dreaming is more fun and productive - i need to exercise my imagination. :P
Saw a guy reading music from a script book and conducting with a pen on the train...it made me wish i was in some way musically talented. He had really nice shoes ( i always notice peoples shoes) and really big hair, the kind of hair you could hide secrets in...or small pets hehe

Favourite quote of the day: Make my tamagotchi do a shit!!!! Bahahaha
Favourite book passage for the day: "My pain is ugly, Angel Juan. I feel like I have so much ugly pain," says Witch Baby in a dream. "Everyone does," Angel Juan says. "My mother says that pain is hidden in everyone you see. She says try to imagine it like a big bunch of flowers that everyone is carrying around with them. Think of your pain like a big bunch of red roses, a beautiful thorn necklace. Everyone has one."Witch Baby - Francesca Lia Block <3>

Philosiphising and planning at hungry jacks <3 thanks to the fabulous onion rings and caramel sauce they have there, i have suddenly decided with the help of the woderful Master T that in 2 years i am going to move to ireland and study literiture and become a kooky literature professer, live in a colourful house and smoke weed with my students and make them listen to Tori Amos cd's and read books and write books about realistic fanatasy (like francesca lia block, who is my literary godess)
but first i must save money, and learn how to use a washing machine properly. oh and drink more beer :D i need to be in training so that when i get there i can keep up with all the uni pubsters :P
Thoughts for the day:
Yoga is an anti depressent; so is dancing - i should do both more! and eat less deep fried food :(
Sleep Time!
