Investigators say 20-year-old Shaquille Henderson was caught on Thursday and charged Friday with the murder of Tony Martin.
"We are extremely grateful. We are extremely thankful. News of his arrest was bittersweet. We are happy that he is behind bars but at the same time it doesn't bring Tony back," said Robyn Peete, victim's neice.
Last month the 52-year-old landlord from Germantown was at his property on West Butler Street in Hunting Park collecting rent.
His family says he was shot and killed by Henderson who was visiting a tenant.
"We still don't know anything related to the details pertaining to what happened in the house. All that we know that is the detectives worked hard to identify a suspect," said Peete.
Martin was a former welterweight who was determined to be the best.
His former trainer Oscar Hilton says he was a true fighter unlike the young murder suspect.
"I'm just happy they got him that's all I can say. I'm happy they got him. I just can't understand why he would shoot him in the back of the head," said Hilton.
Martin's wife of more than 20 years is still too upset to speak on camera.
She says words can't express how much she appreciates the detectives on the case and the two officers who captured her husband's suspected killer.
"I just hope that he gets what he deserves and that's death. No life, death," said Hilton.

Industry View: Hideo Kuwahara
Dr. Hideo Kuwahara leads a research group for long-range communications at Fujitsu. There he has retained the responsibility for overseeing photonic research activities from his former position as the director and general manager of the Fujitsu Laboratories. In 2006 he was named a Fujitsu Fellow.
"I was responsible for the research itself – I managed the organization, performance estimation, and budget. Now, as a Fellow, my main task is no longer to bear that kind of management responsibility. It has been shifting to coordination, advising, supervising – keeping an eye on the larger team concept."
It is a lot to keep an eye on. Fujitsu, a company that is up to roughly 70 percent dedicated to manufacturing computers and associated services, and 20 percent to building telecommunications infrastructure, has a substantial network of laboratories, with about 1,500 staff members. The majority are located in Japan, but some parts of the network are overseas. In the period 2000–2003, Kuwahara was assigned to establish a new laboratory in Texas.
"Those were the years during which Fujitsu, like other IT companies, had to weather the bursting of the dot-com bubble. This meant a very severe downturn in 2001, with low revenues. After that came a recovery; interest in photonic technology for data transportation really returned because of increased traffic."
"And this still continues, even at the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009, when there was a financial meltdown. Fujitsu was not immune, but it is my impression that companies like ours did not suffer as badly as, for instance, the automobile companies. The telecom industry is about infrastructure, so we were not hit as hard. We live in times in which many new applications, such as YouTube, are hungry for bandwidth."
However, Kuwahara warns that, in comparison with electronic technology, photonic technology is somewhat immature: "In 100 Gbps systems, we would like to use the coding methods now used in wireless networks, called quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK). In that respect, even if it works at lower speeds, wireless is more advanced."
But bringing these coding techniques to networks where light is the information carrier is not so simple – not if, at the end points, the light is to be converted into electrical current and dealt with by electronic components. Kuwahara explains this as follows: "For 40 and 100 Gbps, the electronics work too slowly to keep up. Recently, complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology has been increasing in speed: data rates as high as 40 Gbps can now be reached, we think. In that case, it would be a natural trend to keep combining optics and electronics. The electronics would provide fast processing capability, and the optics would give us fast transfer rates. But there is a limit as to how far you can push this. Fujitsu is a partner in a 100 Gbps facility; a lot of companies are working on networks with channels of that speed. Electronics will not be fast enough. With QPSK modulation and CMOS components, around 50 Gbps would seem the limit for electronics right now."
Merging Electronics and Photonics
One way to keep electronics in play is by keeping the data rate for each channel lower than it could be. This allows for the spacing of the channels closer to each other with respect to the wavelength, thus increasing the number of channels available.
Kuwahara: "Another way to circumvent the limitations of electronics would be polarization multiplexing. In every channel you could send two light signals with different polarizations, so they are independent. Keeping the channel spacing the same, we could reduce the speed per polarization direction by half; with two polarization subchannels of 25 Gbps, CMOS technology can definitely be used."
Another glimmer of hope is the advent of new electronic materials, promising faster electronics. Kuwahara agrees: "There is indium phosphide, which could be combined with silicon and germanium into compound devices. But the scale at which this can be done is very limited. It cannot be done as CMOS."
But how far will CMOS be able to bring us? Advances in CMOS technology will mean, by definition, increasing the switching speed while reducing power consumption. According to Kuwahara, "this means that we will have to push miniaturization forward. But we are already getting near Moore's Barrier, the level of miniaturization below which Moore's Law doesn't apply any more, because the size of atoms becomes appreciable and influences the functioning of devices. This is where optics could take over or may even be one of the few alternative solutions."
"We will then have to look for completely new devices that have not yet been invented. Optical processing has the capacity to be fast enough. At high bit rates, processing should be only optical. Work on this is being done at several places, notably at the Heinrich Hertz Institute in Berlin, and also COBRA in Eindhoven. But that kind of activity is still at an early research stage – there is still a lot of fundamental research to be done."
Important Technologies
Devices can process light in vastly different ways. One way that Dr. Kuwahara thinks might be a good candidate for development is through the use of nonlinear glass fiber. In such a fiber the transmission properties change as the intensity goes up. "At Fujitsu we are using this kind of fiber to obtain a noise-reduction effect."
Another very important technology is already in practical use: wavelength-selective switching (WSS). It is used in ROADMs – the switches that allow access to and exit from the glass-fiber highway. "The reconfiguring means the direction of traffic can be changed. They work very slowly now, but in the future we should be able to obtain faster redirection until, in highway terminology, you can switch truck by truck, car by car. But current technology cannot do that yet."
Can we be confident that these technologies will be ready to help us cope with traffic demand in ten years' time? "Partially. Optical technology is now advancing. It is becoming more device-directed. From silicon crystals with some electronic as well as photonic properties, we progress to photonic crystals, materials with a periodic structure to give us the special performance we want. With this, you can make highly integrated, very sophisticated small devices."
Telecommunications Are Changing
Of course, things may turn out differently. Unexpected technical roadblocks might appear, but progress might also be hampered by economic and even legal developments. "Telecommunications are changing. At first, you had just the telephone, but that's less important now. Instead you have e-mail and video. And those are now starting to merge with broadcasting activities. But currently we are unsure: What is the direction all this will take? How should we manage all this data? With regard to copyrights, for instance. That's the kind of border we are at now: are we communicating, or publishing?"
"The regulations on these topics are not maturing at the same rate in Japan, the US, and Europe. The business models are not so well established. Yet these will be decisive."

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Chocolate lovers…watch out! If you're trying to exercise any self-control, you might want to leave now! Today's recipe just might have you running into the kitchen to dust off that ice cream maker. A chocolate-lover's dream, this rich and creamy ice cream is packed with chocolate chunks that promises to delight even the most die-hard chocolate lover in your family. Now, I really don't need a reason to indulge in a big bowl of ice cream, however, with this heat wave we've been in it just seems right! 😀
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Rich and creamy chocolate ice cream packed with chocolate chunks in every bite!
Yield: 1 quart
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 ½ cups whole milk
3/4 cup sugar, divided
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 teaspoons canola oil
In a medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of almost-simmering water, melt the bittersweet chocolate, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Set aside to cool.
Set a fine mesh strainer over a medium sized bowl and set the bowl over a large container of ice water.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the cream, milk, and ½ cup sugar stirring occasionally, until steam appears and the liquid is hot (175 degrees) about 5 minutes.
While the milk mixture is warming, in a separate bowl, whisk the yolks and 1/4 cup of sugar together until smooth. Add the melted chocolate and beat until fully incorporated. Slowly whisk about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolk mixture to temper them. Then slowly whisk the tempered yolk mixture back into the remaining hot milk mixture. Continue to cook the custard mixture over medium heat stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until it is very hot but not simmering (180-185 degrees).
Pour the custard mixture into the strainer bowl set in the ice bath and let cool, stirring occasionally to room temperature. Stir in the vanilla, then remove the custard mixture from the ice bath, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold (40 degrees), about 3 hours.
A few minutes before you plan to churn the ice cream, place semisweet chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Set bowl over saucepan containing barely simmering water; heat mixture until chocolate is melted and whisk until smooth. Stir in oil and transfer to a ziploc bag; set aside.
Pour the mixture into the ice cream canister and churn following the manufacturer's instructions until the mixture resembles the consistency of thick whipped cream. Snip the corner of the ziploc bag that the chocolate is in, and while the machine is running, slowly drizzle the chocolate into the ice cream. After chocolate is added, continue churning until the mixture resembles soft served ice cream.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. Cover the container and freeze the ice cream until it is firm, about 3 hours.

I'm always worried about making ice cream when they involve yolks – – I don't know if I trust myself to cook them properly ( or with my luck overcook them) – – but your method seems so easy.. I think I'll be making some ice cream this weekend 😀
Reblogged this on belindainspiration49.
I knew I should have looked away.. I'll be craving ice cream all day today now, lol!! xx Splendid recipe and photos!!
Why oh WHY must I not like chocolate!? This ice cream sounds fantastic, and I know my friends and family would love it–especially my brother. This is perfect for summer. 🙂
This recipe had me at chocolate…LOL!
This looks so….good! Its been very hot here lately, and I've wanted to go thru every drive-thru that I drive by for a good ice-cream cone! =D
What is the canola oil doing in there? The ice cream looks pretty, but I have never seen ice cream with oil in it (except for olive oil ice cream, which I have not tried).
I've yet to break out the ice cream maker et this year. I know, sacrilege! But, when I do …
Hello, Christina! I came here from a Pinterest group board we are both in. I enjoy your pins and your recipes! I am glad I came here because now, I want to lick my computer screen! This choc chip ice cream is just wonderful! Too bad I don't have an ice cream maker! Maybe I have to learn how to make ice cream by hand…after all, we've been making ice cream before there was this technology. Hmmmm…now I gotta find a good way of making handmade choc chip ice cream! Ahhhhh…! Yummy!
Wow, that looks wonderfully rich. Or just wonderful!
I really love your blog and recipes 🙂 thats why I wanted you to know I nominated you for the One lovely Blog and Versatile Blogger award! For further info please check my post : http://foodingrookie.wordpress.com/2012/07/23/one-lovely-blog-and-versatile-blogger-awards/ where I link you back 🙂
Well deserved!
My ice cream maker almost has a permanent spot on the counter this summer. I'm liking this chocolate chocolate chip. Yummm. I might just add a touch of mint too.
I made this today and it is SO YUMMY! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Thanks so much for sharing how the ice cream turned out for you! This one didn't last long at our house! 🙂

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A campus-wide ban on smoking will soon be implemented at Morgan State University.
The university announced in a press release Thursday that President David Wilson will be implementing a new smoke-free campus policy to promote a healthier campus environment.
The university already bans smoking inside university buildings, but now there will be a total ban on campus, including exterior spaces.
It bans smoking or carrying any lighted tobacco product and also prohibits so-called e-cigarettes, hookahs and pipes.
"This is a major step forward in creating a healthier environment for our students, faculty, staff and visitors to our campus," said Dr. Wilson. "A number of our students requested a smoke-free campus for their own safety and health, and I am very pleased that the Board of Regents has joined with us to make this happen."
The new smoke-free policy will go into effect July 1, 2015.

"Here's actual testimonials of what they're saying about RPCM® Cooling Vests!"
As a Department of Defense subcontractor, I just spent 20 months in Iraq working in an open air warehouse where we loaded and unloaded as many as 100 tractor-trailers each day. Daytime temperatures were 145°F in the sun during July and the first couple weeks of August. Temperatures in the shade were a comfortable 125°F. I tell you no one can appreciate the reality of working in these conditions. No one, unless of course you have been there! The RPCM® Cool Vest was my life saver in these conditions. While they functioned for several hours, the best characteristic was the ease of recharging by placing the cool packs in ice water for 15-20 minutes I was then good for another few hours in these conditions. Take a break, ice down the packs, and back to work. As I stated the RPCM® Cool Vest was a life saver (as well as a great tool to avoid distemper!) Thanks!
Lee F. - Roswell, Georgia
"I was really surprised by how quickly the RPCM® Cool Packs solidified in the ice water. When I put on the vest, temperatures were an ambient 111.2° F (44° C) in the shade, and I could feel relief from the heat right away! While I was racing, I almost forgot I was wearing the RPCM® Cooling Vest because it never got in the way, and I never got flustered while driving due to heat stress. I know from experience getting hot can do that. Once the race was over, I put the Cool Packs back into the cooler and my vest was ready in time for my next race."

If you're looking for something a little different to try this weekend, then our new range of artisan creamed honeys could be the answer.
Produced in the fresh mountain air of the Ariège region of the French Pyrenees, our Creamed Honey with Walnuts and Creamed Honey with Sea Salt are exceptional honeys with incomparable flavours.
They make a delightful addition to a cheese hamper gift, or can be paired with several cheese varieties for a delicious supper or after dinner treat.
What is creamed honey?
Our producer has a fine reputation among beekeepers, not just for pure, high quality honey, but for product innovation too. Creamy honeys are produced by stirring and whisking the honey to incorporate air, leading to a thicker melting texture. They are utterly delicious!
Pure honey
These honeys owe their distinctive taste and texture to the pure mountain environment where they are created among 350 – 400 hives, some of which are at an altitude of 4,920 – 5,577ft. Locations are carefully selected to ensure they are pollution-free and give the bees access to an abundance of wild flowers, though environmental factors such as flowering intensity and weather conditions play an important role in production volume.
Once the honey has been collected from the hives, it is transferred to small drums, mixed and then put directly into jars. Unlike most mass-produced honeys, there is no further treatment, other than mixing and the addition of the natural ingredients of walnut and salt crystals.
The honey does crystallise, but this is a natural process and a guarantee that the honey has not been treated. Only acacia honey remains liquid for any length of time.
Pairing honey with cheese
The sweetness of honey makes it a delicious accompaniment to a salty, nutty cheese. We think these creamy honeys taste sensational when drizzled over a hard ewe's milk cheese, such as Berkswell or Manchego, or a salty blue such as Roquefort.
Pick the perfect treat
If you love honey you can buy Creamed Honey with Walnuts and Creamed Honey with Sea Salt from our online store - we'll deliver direct to your home. You may also like to include in a cheese gift or cheese hamper for someone special.

There are dozens of nutrients that our bodies need for proper health and development, one of which is amino acids. Technically speaking, amino acids are organic compounds containing the amine and carboxyl functional groups. There are roughly 500 amino acids known, which can be classified in a variety of ways. With that said, all amino acids are used to build and repair muscle tissue, making them particularly beneficial for athletes, bodybuilders and other health-conscious individuals.
The problem, however, is that the human body doesn't produce amino acids on its own. Therefore, you must acquire them from other sources, such as foods and supplements. Lean meats, for instance, are an excellent source of amino acids. But even if you consume meat on a daily basis, you may still fall short of your recommended daily intake. This is why many individuals choose amino acid supplements, allowing them to pack more amino acid into their daily life.
The key thing to remember is that without amino acids, your body cannot heal or otherwise repair damaged muscle tissue. When you lift weights or perform other resistance training exercises, acute damage occurs to your muscle tissue. This is actually good because your body will repair it stronger than before. However, this repair mechanism only happens if you consume an adequate amount of amino acids.
The Global Amino Acid Analyzers Industry Market Research 2017 report by The Market Reports is a comprehensive study of the global amino acid analyzers market. Featuring 161 pages while covering both current and future prospective scenarios, it explores the market from all angles.

Public health officials from the State of Oregon and the Lincoln County Health Department confirmed a bat tested positive for rabies by the Oregon State Veterinary Diagnostic laboratory in Corvallis. This is the first positive bat for rabies in Lincoln County in 2017.
On Thursday, August 24, 2017, Lincoln County Environmental Health received a deceased bat that was killed by 2 dogs after behaving unusually in the yard of their residence. The bat was then taken to the Oregon State Veterinary Diagnostic laboratory for testing the same day.
"Bats are the primary reservoir of rabies in Oregon," said Kaline Chavarria of Lincoln County Environmental Health.
"In the event of bat contact such as a bite or scratch, an attempt should be made to safely capture the bat, without destroying the head, for testing for the rabies virus."
If you must handle a bat, it should be done with sturdy gloves or an implement such as a shovel. Direct hand contact with bats should always be avoided.
"All pet owners should make certain that their dogs and cats are vaccinated against rabies. Protecting pets from rabies can provide a buffer zone of immune animals between humans and rabid wild animals such as bats," said Emilio DeBess of the Oregon Health Authority.
Rabies symptoms in animals can include lethargy, walking in circles, and loss of muscular coordination, convulsions, irritability, aggressiveness, disorientation, excessive drooling, and showing no fear of humans. Wildlife, livestock, or pets displaying these behaviors should not be approached or handled. Animal control or wildlife authorities should be contacted instead.
Consult with your local county Health Department whenever there has been human or pet contact with bats or any animal that appears to be sick, injured or has bitten a human or pet.
Call (541) 265-0458 to report any bites to the county, and find more information about Lincoln County Environmental Health and animal bites at www.co.lincoln.or.us/hhs/page/environmental-health
For more information about rabies go to the Oregon Health Authority website at public.health.oregon.gov/diseasesconditions/diseasesaz/Pages/disease.aspx?did=41 or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at cdc.gov/rabies
Lincoln County Public Health, in collaboration with our community partners, provides leadership to assure the conditions for healthy communities.

Early Church WiP (2)
However inspired by the fab work going on over at Mitch's Wargaming and Modelmaking I have dug out the slightly battered shell and done some more work.
Actually that's not entirely true I added the apse (I do love a big apse, fnarrr!) at some point last year.
However I was still stuck over what to do about windows until I assembled the Warbases models I picked up at Salute and discovered I had several small windows left over, together with a big door that would be just right for the front of the church. So I glued them all in place.
Then I saw what Mitch was up to and managed to get the roof on and take some photos.
So here we are - a little blurry and very much rough and ready:
As you can see I'm still waiting for a side door, but my chum picked a pack up from Partizan at the weekend. Next step is some towelling for the roof for a thatched effect. I did consider pan tiling but couldn't work out how on earth to get it to work on the curved roof of my enormous apse.
5 comments:
Thanks for the shout out Tom. Yours is a lovely piece of work too, and may I say that I have never seen such a fine, big apse before. I'm sure it will turn heads on any wargames table!ReplyDelete
Smashing stuff mate!
That Looks very good already. How will you finish the Roof? Tiles?ReplyDelete
Very good start!ReplyDelete
Same question as Paul .
Thanks chaps.ReplyDelete
I'll be thatching.
In fact I've just finished - pictures tomorrow maybe (if the PVA ever dries).
I did consider pantiling for that proper Roman effect, and I have some of the Wills ones, but couldn't conceive how I'd wrap them around the curved apse roof without it looking bobbins.
Looking good. Keen to see how you did the thatching.ReplyDelete

Mushrooms: Pick mushrooms that are small and the gills on the underneath side are closed. Gently wash mushrooms and drain. Put all the mushrooms in large Dutch oven and begin cooking on medium heat. Water will be rendered from the mushrooms. If no liquid is rendered from the mushrooms, add 1 cup of broth to begin cooking. When the mushrooms have shriveled, add the broth and the onion soup. Cook slowly for about 2 hours until the mushrooms are darker in color and tender. If more liquid is needed, add water. After 2 hours add the wine and cook 1 hour more. The liquid should be reduced by 2/3 by now. Add the rosemary and butter and keep warm.
Pork Tenderloin: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Flour the tenderloin and shake off excess. Add salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium high heat, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil or a mixture of oil and butter. Saute the tenderloin until seared on all sides. Put in oven in skillet and roast for about 8 to 12 minutes until internal temperature is 170. Remove loin and keep warm. Deglaze the pan with wine, reduce by half and add a pat of butter. Add tenderloin back to pan and keep warm.
Polenta Cakes: Wrap polenta in cling wrap and refrigerate until firm. Cut polenta into rounds and dip in egg that has been beaten and dredge in flour mixed with Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Fry in oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Make 2 per person.
To serve: Place 2 polenta cakes on the plate 1 slightly overlapping the other. Slice tenderloin and allow 5 to 6 slices per person. Add drippings from pork loin to mushrooms. Spoon mushrooms with gravy over meat and polenta. Stand a spring of rosemary in center spearing the meat. If you want a fragrant presentation, you can light the rosemary after if has been slightly dried in the microwave.
Green Bean Bundles: Fresh long green beans about a dozen per person 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips same shape as green beans Strips bacon flattened and cut in half
Make bundle with green beans and bell pepper and wrap with bacon. You can either tie bacon or use a toothpick. Place bundles in glass pie plate with another pie plate on top and microwave on high until beans are crisp tender and bacon done. Remove toothpicks and serve.

'Knife attacker' sought by armed police in Wisbech
Armed police officers are searching for a man after a knife attack in Cambridgeshire.
Witnesses said the victim was spotted in Victoria Road, Wisbech, at 10:30 GMT, after being slashed across the face.
Cambridgeshire Police believe it was an "isolated attack" with no wider threat to the public.
Some witnesses said they had heard a machete was used in the attack, but there has been no confirmation of that.
The injured 57-year-old male victim was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn. His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Police said the attack took place in a street, but have yet to establish whether it happened in Victoria Road itself.
Karen Gathercole, who lives on Victoria Road, said there were a number of policemen with guns on the street and officers were searching through residents' gardens.

The Department of Botany and the United States National Herbarium are proud to award annually the José Cuatrecasas Medal for Excellence in Tropical Botany. Our objectives are two-fold; 1) we wish to keep vibrant the accomplishments and memory of our late colleague José Cuatrecasas (1903-1996) who spent almost fifty years working in our Department and who had a distinguished career devoted to systematic botany and exploration in tropical South America, especially in Colombia, and 2) we wish to use this award as a vehicle to honor a colleague who is a botanist and scholar of international stature and who has contributed significantly to advancing the field of tropical botany.
This year we are very pleased to present the seventh José Cuatrecasas Medal for Excellence in Tropical Botany to Mireya Correa of the University of Panama and STRI. In making this selection, the award committee took note of her many accomplishments as an educator, administrator, and plant taxonomist. Mireya received her Licencia in Biology and Chemistry from the University of Panama in 1963. In the same year she was appointed Professor of Biology and Chemistry at her alma mater. While a student she also worked as a laboratory technician at the Gorgas Memorial Laboratory in Panama. In fact, her first scientific paper was on trypanosomes and other microorganisms from Panamanian sand flies. Fortunately for us, she did not continue in this direction but saw the light and became interested in vascular plants. Taking leave from the University, she enrolled at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina and she received her Master's degree in Botany in 1967 working under Robert L. Wilbur.
Almost immediately after returning to her teaching position at the University of Panama, Mireya founded the herbarium of the University of Panama. Starting in 1968 with no specimens, the collection now has almost 70,000 specimens of which some 12,000 were collected by Mireya. It is the principal herbarium in the Republic of Panama and one of the more important herbaria in Central America. Mireya has been the director of this herbarium since its inception. Currently, the herbarium is playing an important role in coordinating the LAPI (Latin American Plant Initiative) project funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation which seeks to image Latin American type specimens. Not content to curate one herbarium, Mireya also curates the smaller herbarium of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute that has some 12,000 specimens.
Wearing these two hats, professor and director of the herbarium, Mireya has had a profound impact on education of biology students in Panama. She currently has some 40 students that she is advising on projects that range from taxonomy to floristics to ethnobotany. Many of her previous students have gone on to hold positions of importance and influence not only in Panama but also abroad. Mireya also has contributed to the botanical community nationally, regionally and internationally through service to numerous botanical and environmental organizations, not the least of which is the Organization for the Flora Neotropica and of which José Cuatrecasas was a founding member.
The medal committee also took note of Mireya's many contributions to the scientific literature. Among her approximately 100 publications are several books or book-length monographs, notably The botany and natural history of Panama (1985) (with William G. D'Arcy), Catálago de las plantas vasculares de Panamá (2004) (with Carmen Galdames & María Stapf), and a monograph of Drosera (Droseraceae) for Flora Neotropica (2005) (with Tânia Regina dos Santos Silva). Forgiving Mireya for her excursion into the biology of trypanosomes, one also sees an ongoing collaboration with colleagues at the Center for Pharmacognostic Research on Panamanian Flora (CIFLORPAN) in the College of Pharmacy of the University, which has yielded many co-authored papers on plant natural products.
I had earlier alluded to Mireya's field work. One noteworthy ongoing project was initiated in 1991. It is a detailed study of the plants of a one-hectare plot in the Campana National Park. Some 4000 individual plants were tagged and have been censused at least twice. For close to ten years, detailed notes have been made of the phenology of these plants as well. A guide or florula has been prepared of some 1500 species found in "La Campana" and this has been important in supporting the development of ecotourism in the park.
Before I conclude, I want to return briefly to one of Mireya's more remarkable and lasting accomplishments. I stated that in 1968 she founded the herbarium at the university. Certainly there was a great deal of plant collecting in Panama that preceded this and without a place to deposit these earlier specimens (or duplicates) in Panama we find that they are scattered throughout collections in North America and Europe. After a brief bit of sleuthing I was able to determine that Mireya founded a herbarium in Panama 268 years after the first herbarium specimen was made in what is now the Republic of Panama. James Wallace (fl. 1684–1724), who founded the short-lived Scottish colony of New Caledonia in the Darien (abandoned 12 April 1700), communicated specimens gathered by the surgeon Archbald Stewart (fl. 1699–1700) to James Petiver, whose Hortus Siccus was acquired by the British botanist Sir Hans Sloane and now rests in the Natural History Museum (London). The specimens are mostly ferns and detached leaves. Wallace may have given the earliest account of Darien vegetation when he wrote "This place affords legions of monstrous Plants, enough to confound all the methods of Botany ever hitherto thought upon." Thankfully, Mireya has helped tame these "monstrous Plants" and we wish her many years more of contributing to our knowledge of the flora of Panama.

ST. PETERSBURG — Marlins' pitching coach Chuck Hernandez's eyes' reddened and his voice softened as he began speaking about Don Zimmer after Wednesday's 5-4 win at Tropicana Field. A baseball icon who devoted 66 years to the game, Zimmer passed away in Dunedin at the age of 83.
Growing up in Tampa and during his time in the Rays' organization, Hernandez developed a special relationship with Zimmer.
"He was a friend, he was a mentor," Hernandez said. "He fought a hard fight, as would be expected. He's going to be in a good place tonight. All my thoughts are with his family, with [wife] Soot and with his sons. Just a great guy. What an impact on so many people for so long. We're going to miss him."
Starting pitcher Tom Koehler informed Hernandez in between innings during the game. Koehler, who grew up a Yankees fan in New Rochelle, New York, has fond memories of Zimmer in pinstripes. After discussing his performance, Koehler made a point to express his condolences on behalf of the organization as did manager Mike Redmond.
"Baseball lost a good man today," Koehler said. "I didn't know him at all, but everything I every heard about him was always positive. He would light up a room and obviously his baseball IQ speaks for itself. It's a somber moment for baseball."
Added Redmond: "All of our thoughts and prayers, the Marlins, our players, front office, staff, are with his family, and not just the Rays' organization, the Yankees and every organization, every person that's been influenced by him throughout his life. Definitely a heavy heart for baseball."
The Rays will honor Zimmer with a moment of silence before the start of Thursday's game and will conduct a pregame ceremony prior to Saturday's contest agianst the Mariners.

The US government will offer an online session of the health care bill ahead of President Barack Obama's bipartisan summit on February 25.
The move aims to reconcile differences between the Republicans and Democrats, after accusations that the Democrats were trying to iron out differences between themselves. Around 10 Republican lawmakers have been invited to the session.
Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff, has asked the Republicans to produce their own version of healthcare reform before the summit. The Democratic version, which the White House is working on, will be posted on the White House website on February 21.

he turned her face toward her right and addressed most of her words to my mother. Now and then she spoke to me, but never did she allow her eyes to rest upon her daughter's husband, my father. It was only upon rare occasions that my grandmother said anything to him. Thus his ears were open and ready to catch the smallest wish she might express. Sometimes when my grandmother had been saying things which pleased him, my father used to comment upon them. At other times, when he could not approve of what was spoken, he used to work or smoke silently.
On this night my old grandmother began her talk about me. Filling the bowl of her red stone pipe with dry willow bark, she looked across at me.
"My grandchild, you are tall and are no longer a little boy." Narrowing her old eyes, she asked, "My grandchild, when are you going to bring here a handsome young woman?"

Social has long been a buzzword that organizations struggle to turn into actionable data. Twitter and Facebook lower barriers of entry to connect, making your next all-star volunteer or monthly donor just a tweet or post away.
But with the endless stream of tweets, the noise can be overwhelming. It's hard to tell which of your supporters are actively engaging on social media about topics that matter to you.
To help you solve those issues, we'd like to introduce you to Pulse. Pulse has two main features:
Matching your contacts to Facebook and Twitter
Organizations spend a lot of time segmenting and targeting their supporters, but they don't always know which of their supporters are active on social media. That's why we are now matching, for free, NGP and EveryAction contacts with their publicly available social media profiles.
Now, when you look up a record, you'll see your contact's Facebook and Twitter profiles, including number of friends and followers. This information is searchable, and can be combined in a search with all the other information in your database.
A few examples of how you can use this new social data:
- Hosting a fundraising event? Now you can search for existing donors who live near your event location and have over 500 friends on Facebook, and ask them to be a host.
- Or maybe you have a debate or event coming up. You can easily search for supporters with over 1,000 followers on Twitter and ask them to live tweet the action.
- Perhaps you're making a fundraising call. Now you can easily click to see if you have friends in common on Facebook or thank the contact for tweeting about you.
Taking the 'Pulse' of your contacts
Knowing who your contacts are online is incredibly powerful, but we also wanted to help organizations cut through the noise to quickly find tweets from their most influential contacts. That's why we partnered with Attentive.ly to bring the Pulse widget to your dashboard. Pulse curates the most recent tweets from your most influential contacts about topics specific to your organization and places them in the "My Contacts" tab.
In a separate "Top Tweets" tab, Pulse takes advantage of the NGP VAN network effect, by displaying a stream of the most recent tweets from the most influential people across our entire client-base. Giving you a quick snapshot of what's driving progressives' discussion.
At NGP VAN, we're focused on helping you run the most effective campaigns, by coordinating your activities, across social network and email channels, and across online and offline activity. We hope that you enjoy this new feature.
Mike Liddell is the GM, Digital @NGPVAN. Find him on Twitter @mliddell and let him know your best practices for using Pulse.

Silly boa, put that snake away please.
I might add that indoor sets are "lit", that is whether the photographer uses strobes or hot lights, it's rare that indoor shots are "natural" light. Of course the trick is to make it LOOK natural!
Outdoors is very high contrast, unless you shoot near a light-colored wall or something that "fills in" the shadows. Sunlight by itself is harsh, giving you deep shadows. One technique is to "flash-fill" outdoor shots, but again the trick is to make it look believable, which is not easy to do. I use a warm-up filter on my flash fill to balance the color temperature. It helps, but to me it still looks artificial.
I think some of your biases re outdoor shoots comes from a reaction to technical problems where lighting is not fully under the photographer's control. Well, and then there's the sand issues, and on occasion, a mosquito!
Welcome back beautiful goddess.
Praxiteles would have preferred you to Phryne.
In the first set your beautiful hair covered all your beauty; sin
today they make you luxurious backdrop, much better.
Photoset exemplary: a neutral background, the clear Milana and a bright color
"Brava" Milana "Bravo" Arkisi
Welcome back beautiful goddess.
Praxiteles would have preferred you to Phryne.
In the first set your beautiful hair covered all your beauty; sin
today they make you luxurious backdrop, much better.
Photoset exemplary: a neutral background, the clear Milana and a bright color
Such a beauty! Heaven!
Indoors sets are 10 times better than outdoors!
I confess that I often (but not always) prefer inside sets, but I think what makes this one so outstanding is Arkisi's lighting and technique. There is a certain realism with his sets that appeals to me.
I think they both have their merits. As long as the indoor lighting is natural, I'm fine with it. But when it's heavy handed (like when a fair skinned girl appears to have spent all day in a tanning booth), that's what I despise.
Milana's best set!
I'd say that this woman is HOT --- but then, I'd be being redundant.
Some of Arkisi's work really don't thrill me much -- but when he hits it, he hits it on the head. Marvelous set.
Milana is a beautiful woman. I ordinarily don't favor tight closeups but nipples and areolae like Milana's certainly deserve some (in moderation).
Thanks to Milana and Arkisi for this great set.
My god! Another tall Ukrainian goddess, and I didn't even know about her! Somehow she slipped under my radar, which I though was micro-tuned to Ukrainian wavelengths. Milana, you are beautiful, a wonderful surprise. Come back whenever you like. Kisses all over.
Wow, this is what I would call a 'coming of age' set, there is a contrast between this and the previous two sets and all for the better. Well done Milana, you look great and well done Arkisi for taking the photos.
I must agree with the contrast of this, her third set against the other two. This one rated higher with me for many reasons. I'll admit that being shot by Arkisi has more to do with it than being indoors.
You lost me with this one. What is the big change you claim in this set. That this one is indoor? You like Arkisi's style better? Because while this Milana K is worthy of being here she gives us nothing special (IMO). The almost identical poses and sequence are te same in all three of her sets. What do you see different?
I disagree, swplf2, I see little commonality between her three posted sets. All three are different photogs and locations. There are some similar poses, but that's all I can see.
Also note all three of us, you, me and mankeryma all agree on Ry's set today.
Obviously three different artist will each give us their style. I thought my signalling Arkisi out made that clear, but overall I saw a sameness. If you didn't that is fine, but your own comment about Flora's today acknowledges "difference". My own preference is to see sets where the model displays another "side" of herself within our limits. The varied work of Paloma or Carina as an example. It was strictly a ? to monkerma about his/her impression and I got it. If you have notice my posts in the past you know I bitch about faceless boo birds, which are not. You post your actual disagreement and say why. I respect that and wish more were like you.
Just so you know, I did not give you a thumbs down even though we disagree.
Now you mention it the first set has very similar poses, but thought that Milana looked a little uncomfortable. The second set was very subdued in my opinion.
I do think that Milana looks a little more relaxed in this set and therefore I do think that this is the best set of Milana pictures so far on Met.
I must admit I am not a great fan of outdoor sets, I think the lighting can be a bit harsh and there can be lots of light and shadow areas. I prefer the more even lighting that's produced from an indoor setting. Maybe my aversion to outdoor sets is skewing my perspective (??).
Thank You, makes much more sense now.

"If it was a funeral, you'd go."
Last week I shared this plain-spoken wisdom of my Grandma Minnie, who always encouraged us to make the effort to attend celebrations. I wrote about how I'd been to many funerals and houses of mourning lately, but I didn't reveal the other reason I've been remembering this life lesson I learned from my grandma.
A long-time friend from college and his partner of 25 years will be celebrating their anniversary in June. I was beyond honored to be invited to serve as an officiant at what they've cleverly dubbed a "wedniversary." While marking 25 years of love, commitment and devotion to one another, they are also going to make it legal, which same-sex marriage is in their home state.
There were a few logistical hurdles to my attendance, all easily surmounted thanks to Grandma Minnie. Last week, I booked my flights. This week, I learned that our entire circle of close-knit friends from college will be there to celebrate together, some with spouses and children.
Grandma Minnie died a few months before my spouse and I were married, shortly after our engagement party and tenaim ceremony, nearly 24 years ago. She probably never imagined her wisdom about being present at happy occasions would continue to guide me for the rest of my life. She probably never imagined my application of her life-lesson to a wedniversary.
I think she would agree: Love can't wait.

Transfer from Venice Marco Polo Airport to Trieste
Marco Polo Airport has good connections to Europe and the world and it is the final flight destination for many GoOpti passengers. Some of them then travel to Trieste and prefer to book the reliable and, comparing to public transport, more comfortable GoOpti transfer.
The start of the transfer
After your plane has landed at Marco Polo Airport and you have claimed your luggage and passed through the border control, you will see exit D on your right. Your GoOpti driver will be waiting for you in front of the covered D exit on the second lane at a bus and van parking spot or just a bit further at the parking space in front of the terminal. One day before the booked transfer, GoOpti will send you an SMS and an e-mail containing the exact location and time of departure. When you arrive at the pick-up location, the GoOpti driver will introduce himself and check if all the passengers who have booked the transport are present. The driver will also take care of all your luggage and make sure it is safely stored in the back compartment of the vehicle. After all the passengers are safely and comfortably seated and have fastened their seat belts, the transfer can begin.
The course of the transfer
Marco Polo Airport is located about 150 kilometers from Trieste and the affordable GoOpti transfer usually takes an hour and a half. The GoOpti van will take you from the airport to the A4 highway in the direction of Trieste. It will then take the E70 highway all the way to Trieste.
Planned breaks
GoOpti drivers have to stop for a 15-minute break every two and a half hours of driving. Since the transfer to Marco Polo Airport usually takes less time, no breaks are planned during this transfer. If the transfer takes longer because of different circumstances on the road, the GoOpti driver will make sure to include an additional break in the transfer. Passengers can always ask for an unplanned break. The first break, which can last up to 15 minutes, can be organized at the request of just one passenger. For every additional break all the passengers must come to a consensus.
Where we will drop you off
GoOpti can drop you off at any of the 14 locations in the city or nearby towns. You can also decide to be dropped-off at your home or work address or at any other location of your choosing.
About Trieste
Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy. It is situated near the end of a narrow strip of Italian territory lying between the Adriatic Sea and Slovenia. Its population is about 200,000 and it is the capital of the autonomous region Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the Province of Trieste. Throughout history it has been influenced by its location at the crossroads of Latin, Slavic and Germanic cultures.

Bulk Zone file Serial Number Increment
I have way too many domain names, so that means that when I want to make a change to my zone template files including a search and replace for certain ips or just changing the email in the zone like I do below. (Or whatever you need to do.)
I first backed up my zone files with a basic but effective cp command:
blah@server ~# cp /var/named /var/named-backup
Then I replaced my email with one that would handle the spam and put it in the right mailbox (/dev/null.) 🙂
blah@server ~# for file in $(ls /var/named/*.db); do sed -i "s/paul.mydomain.com/dns.omniop.com/g" $file; done
Now that all of the zone files are updated, even if I were to restart my named, the files would not update my slave DNS servers because the serial number in the zones have not changed.
... 2008011502 ; serial, todays date+todays ...
So here is a quick little shell script that I wrote that increments all of myBIND zone files for my DNS server.
#!/bin/bash for file in $(ls /var/named/*.db); do if [ -f $file ]; then OLD=`egrep -ho "2008[0-9]*" $file` NEW=$(($OLD + 1)) sed -i "s/$OLD/$NEW/g" $file echo "fixed $file" fi done
There may be a better way of doing this, but I found this very quick and painless.
Now I will hopefully get less spam now that the DNS email scrapers won't get my email from my zone files.
Hope this helps someone!

Samsung will begin manufacturing its new full HD AMOLED smartphone panel later this month, adding weight to rumours it is gearing up for an imminent launch of the Galaxy S4.
Citing unnamed "industry sources", Korean news site DDaily reports that the five-inch display, which it teased at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Vegas last month, will be mass produced from the end of February and shipped for commercial release in early March.
The display is a dead cert to debut on the much-anticipated Galaxy S4, which a recent spate of forecasts and conjecture suggests will be launched sometime after mid-April.
While popular panel-makers in Japan and Korea, namely Japan Display, Sharp and LG Display, have already begun large-scale manufacturing of LCD panels boasting a full HD resolution, Chinese manufacturer are reportedly struggling to reach stable yield to cope with demand.
According to sources, only a small amount of full-HD panels for premium smartphone products will be shipped from China this year, which could potentially lead to an initial shortage of the year's biggest flagship releases, including Apple's iPhone 5S.
Aside from a five-inch 1080p display, the Galaxy S4 is also mooted to feature an eight-core Exynos processor, also showcased at CES – plus a 13-megapixel camera and built-in wireless charging capabilities.
Samsung is tipped to officially raise the curtain on the S4 sometime between March 15th and 22nd in a location supposed right on "Apple's doorstep".

The cost of taking out a standard loan for between �7,500 and �15,000 dropped to the cheapest ever today, after Marks & Spencer slashed its loan rate to 3.3% rep APR.
The new rate, which is open to new M&S customers and those who already have an M&S financial product until 28 February 2016, undercuts the next best from Sainsbury's Bank, which is 3.4% rep APR for Nectar cardholders (otherwise 3.5%).
However, though borrowing is cheap when it's done right, don't use that as an invitation to do it. Only use it for planned spending � eg, a new car or kitchen � and for as little as you need. Aim to repay it as quickly as possible, making sure you've budgeted and checked repayments are affordable. For more see the Cheap Loans guide.
Get Our Free Money Tips Email!
Who can get the M&S loan and what you need to know
New M&S customers and those who already have an M&S financial product (ie, an M&S credit card, bank account or loan) are eligible. You can apply online* or by phone.
Remember though, all loans are now 'representative' rate, which means only 51% of those accepted need to be given that rate, and the rest could pay more. The only way to know is to apply, and that marks your credit file.
Our Loans Eligibility Calculator (it performs a 'soft-search' that lenders can't see) can't tell you if you'll get the rate, but shows acceptance odds � the higher they are, anecdotally, the more likely you'll get the advertised rate.
All applicants require a credit check � see our Boost Your Credit Score guide. And if you're struggling with debt, see Debt Help.
Nationwide customer? You could get a 2.8% rep APR loan
If you're a current account holder with Nationwide, or you successfully apply for a current account with the bank, it promises to undercut the best loan offer you can get by 0.5 percentage points, meaning the best-buy 3.3% rep APR loan could become 2.8%.
To get the deal, you must first apply and get accepted for a loan through any bank or building society (including Hitachi, but not including peer-to-peer lenders such as Zopa).
Then, apply for a Nationwide loan � but you'll need proof of acceptance for the other loan. If Nationwide accepts you, it will then offer you a rate which is 0.5 percentage points lower than your initial offer (it says it won't accept you for the loan, then offer a higher rate). For full details, see Nationwide Loans Trick.
Best-buy loans for other amounts
Warning: Applying marks your credit file, so first find which loans you're most likely to be accepted for using our Loans Eligibility Calculator so you can minimise applications.
- For �5,000 � �7,499: M&S* and Zopa* offer 4.5% rep APR over one to five years.
- For �2,500 � �4,999: Hitachi* is 7.4% rep APR over two to five years. Peer-to-peer lenders Zopa* and Ratesetter* have personalised rates and may undercut it. Full info: Cheap Loans (APR examples).
For smaller amounts, 0% credit card loans win
A few specialist cards allow money transfers, where the card pays cash into your bank account like a loan, then you owe it instead. Accepted new Virgin* (Eligibility Calc) cardholders can get 32 months 0% for just a 1.69% one-off fee (min �3).
Just never miss a min repayment and clear before the 0% ends or it's 20.9% rep APR. Full step-by-step help and more best buys in Money Transfers.

The four Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16AM/BM fighter jets deployed to Jordan to bomb the so-called Islamic State forces in Syria, have only done that four times this year.
The information is included in a letter of Dutch minister of Defence Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert to the Dutch parliament in The Hague.
Communication limits have made the RNLAF jets less useful to international community fighting ISIS / ISIL / Daesh and the United States, which is leading the operations. Since February, when the F-16s were cleared for the Syrian operations, the aircraft only flew seven mission in total in the skies of that nation.
More on the problems with the operational usefulness of the Dutch F-16s in Syria, you can read on our earlier published article here on Airheadsfly.com.

Baltimore would offer no cost-of-living raises to city workers and no cut in the property tax rate to homeowners under the preliminary budget plan for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke's $2.2 billion proposal stresses public safety and education. The city would hire 80 more police officers and 81 more teachers, although the overall number of city workers would grow by just 54.
The austere budget plan, which officials said is made necessary by a decline in property tax revenues, will be presented next week before the Board of Estimates, the first public step in the two-month process for adopting a budget. The presentation, originally scheduled for today's meeting, was delayed because of the death of Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke's half-brother.

Gambia: UDP leader attach condition to his own bailRate this title
#GambiaRising has gone global with protesters asking Jammeh to resign or be forced to do so
The arrested leader of the Gambia's largest opposition party Ousainou Darboe has attached a condition to his bail, after he and nearly thirty others were arraigned before High Court judge Justice Ottaba in the West African nation's capital, Banjul. Darboe, 66, was arrested during a rare protest demanding the release of his senior opposition figure, Solo Sandeng who led an anti-Government protest demanding electoral reform and the resignation of the country's long time ruler, Yahya Jammeh.
While Darboe awaits bail hearing on Monday, he has defiantly told Justice Ottaba that what is more contentious is the whereabouts of Mr.
Sandeng and others arrested with him. Darboe, a human rights lawyer conditioned his own bail to be dependent on the government's release of Sandeng and other protesters.
"My release from prison would be meaningless if Solo, Ms Fatoumata Jawara, and Ms Nokoi Njie and others arrested on April 14th are to remain in state custody," he said. Very few people including diplomatic observers were allowed in the courtroom while supporters of Mr Darboe were barricaded outside the court premises by the police.
Heavily armed riot police presence in court
The veteran politician and other leaders of the UDP party were escorted to court under heavy paramilitary police security. They insisted their "illegal detention is worth it for the country." Darboe had vied for the country's highest office four times losing to President Yahya Jammeh.
The votes have been marked by irregularities and in 2011, ECOWAS ruled elections in the country as not free and fair and refused to send observers.
The country's former Minority Leader Momodou Sanneh and former National Assembly Member Kemeseng Jammeh were among those arraigned with Mr Darboe on a six count charge including inciting violence. At least three protesters have died in the hands of the police. The international community maintained the protesters were peaceful but the Jammeh administration has warned other nations to not to interfere in the country's internal politics.
The United Nations has since asked for an investiogation and for those responsible for the reported torture and death of the protesters including Mr Sandeng to be brought to justice.

With tourism the most important sector of Seychelles' economy, the challenge is balancing economic growth with environmental protection - and making sure not just foreigners benefit from the country's tourism boom.
Rolph Payet doesn't mince his words. Seychelles' environment minister is quick to admit that one of his government's major priorities right now is to increase economic growth in the country. That, in turn, is due to rising development and population numbers. "As a population grows, you just simply have to find food, jobs and shelter for the population," Payet says.
Everyone agrees: the easiest way to increase short-term economic growth in Seychelles is to boost tourism. With it's pristine sandy beaches, the island state off the coast of eastern Africa is a popular destination – and not just for honeymooning royal couples, like Princess Madeleine of Sweden, or Great Britain's Prince William.
Annually, some 175,000 visitors come to Seychelles - mainly from France, Italy and Germany - making tourism the economy's most important industry sector. The total contribution of tourism to the country's gross domestic product is more than 50 percent. In fact, after Macau, Maldives and Aruba, Seychelles is the fourth most tourism-dependent country in the world.
But, there are only so many tourists Seychelles can accommodate without starting to infringe on what attracts the tourists to the country in the first place: namely, its diverse environment featuring unique birds, fish, and plants. Half of the island state's territory is under some sort of protection as a reserve or conservation area.
Greener tourism
According to the environment minister, the tourism industry is starting to change its priorities slowly. Payet says it was the hotels that financed programs to eradicate rats - a threat to endemic species - from several of the island state's 115 islands.
Authorities have also introduced a new label for sustainable tourism operations. Hotels who want to carry the label have to fulfil certain criteria, explains Philomena Hollanda of the Seychelles Tourism Board. "All their day-to-day operations have to be ecologically friendly," she told DW. "They have to practice energy efficiency, proper waste management and water conservation."
Launched in mid-2012, so far only three hotels have successfully applied for the label, with all three of them located on Seychelles main island of Mahé. Hollanda says this low number is more likely due to lack of awareness of the program and the long auditing process, rather than unwillingness on behalf of hotel owners.
The Aldabra giant tortoise, endemic to Seychelles, is displayed on the label promoting sustainability
Besides the environmental aspect, there is another challenge in making tourism in Seychelles sustainable: that of ensuring the Seychellois people benefit from growth in tourism. There is concern about the tourism industry here increasingly relying on expatriate workers.
Keeping locals involved
In 2010, over twenty percent of those employed in tourism were foreign workers. Many of the large four and five star hotels rely on expats because, according to a planning document released by the tourism board, many locals are simply not skilled enough to take on the jobs.
Ownership is another concern. Locals here mainly run small hotels or self-catering apartments, in fact, renting out accommodation of 24 rooms or less is restricted to Seychellois. But, running larger hotels is open to foreigners and, out of thirty existing large hotels, thirteen are fully owned by foreign organizations. There are further large hotel development projects underway or in the planning stage on the main island of Mahé that are also financed by European or Arab investors.
Seychelles' President James Michel recently said his government had to enhance conditions to allow locals to "become key stakeholders in the tourism industry." Besides demanding that hotels act in an environmentally-conscious way, the new sustainable tourism label requires hotel owners to document some sort of community involvement and promote the Seychellois cultural heritage.
"We put a binder with information about cultural events in our guests' rooms," explains Hubert Habet from 'Hanneman Residence', a complex of self-catering apartments.
"There are theater plays that we recommend, or the 'Festival Kreol' week in October. We also have a nearby bazaar where you can try authentic cuisine, and there is some local music and stores."
Still, Andrea, a German tourist, says that she has seen two different worlds colliding during her holiday in Seychelles.
"On the one hand, we've seen paradise," she told DW, "but on the other hand we've looked behind the scenes a bit and talked to Seychellois. They don't seem to have a very good life at all."
