Premier of the State Council Li Keqiang sends a congratulatory letter and vows that China will continue to shoulder due international obligations, conduct in-depth international communications and cooperation in the environment sector, and make new contributions to the global ecological security.
Upon the upcoming International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, the commemorative meeting of the 30th anniversary of the Montreal Protocol on the Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (hereinafter referred to as the Montreal Protocol) was held in Beijing. Premier Li Keqiang sent a congratulatory letter and Minister Li Ganjie read out the letter and delivered remarks.
In his letter, Li Keqiang said the preservation of the ozone layer and the response to climate change are the common challenges shared by the international community. Considerable achievements have been made in the implementation of the Montreal Protocol over the past three decades, effectively controlling the damages of human activities to the ozone layer, reflecting the resolve of the international community to protect the homeland earth, and setting an example for the settlement of other global environmental problems.
Li Keqiang noted that China as a responsible developing country has always actively taken part in the global environmental governance, advocated green, low-carbon, circular, and sustainable production patterns and lifestyles, and pressed ahead with the 2030 sustainable development agenda in all dimensions. Under the framework of the Montreal Protocol, China has phased out more than half of the total ozone depleting substances that have been eliminated by developing countries. China will continue to shoulder due international obligations, thoroughly conduct the international communications and cooperation in the environment field, and make new contributions to the global ecological security.
In his remarks, Li Ganjie said since it was concluded three decades ago, the Montreal Protocol has had 197 contracting parties, phased out the manufacture and use of 99 percent ozone depleting substances, gained considerable environmental, health, and climate benefits, and been applauded as an exemplary model for global environmental cooperation. China acceded to the Montreal Protocol in 1991, since then, the country has enthusiastically advanced the implementation of the protocol. It has established a national leading group for the preservation of the ozone layer, introduced China National Programme on the Gradual Elimination of Ozone Depleting Substances, developed the Regulations on the Management of Ozone Depleting Substances, implemented 31 industry-specific elimination plans, shut down over 100 production lines, promoted the replacement of ozone-depleting substances in 1,000 firms, and facilitated the technical advances and green transition and upgrading across industries. So far, China has eliminated a total of 270,000 t ozone depleting substances and made due contributions to the effective implementation of the Montreal Protocol.
Li Ganjie emphasized that the implementation of the Montreal Protocol is an arduous task and that China will highlight the following tasks for now and for a period of time to come: a. accelerate the ratification of Kigali Amendment. Conduct capacity building as soon as possible, and make thorough preparations for the implementation of the amendment; b. strengthen the management of ozone depleting substances in accordance with law. Strictly implement the Regulations on the Management of Ozone Depleting Substances, and promote the phase-out of ozone depleting substances and the development of alternative products; c. speed up the implementation of the industry-specific elimination plans. Press ahead with the phase-out of HCFCs at the second stage, set stepwise timelines for the phase-out of regulated substances, optimize the implementation patterns of the projects, strengthen monitoring and management, and ensure the efficient and reasonable use of multilateral funds. d. promote the development and application of green and low-carbon alternative technologies. Amend and improve the standards and law-making on the alternatives, stimulate and support the development and spread of alternative technologies through industrial policies, government green procurement, and awareness activities; e. Conduct in-depth international communications and cooperation. Adhere to the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities", actively engage in the negotiations of the convention, expand the technical cooperation with the contracting parties and relevant international organizations, and exchange and share implementation results.
UNEP Executive Director Erik Solheim, Executive Secretary of the Ozone Secretariat Madame Tina Birmpili, Chair of Montreal Protocol Multilateral Fund Executive Committee Paul Krajnik, and Chief Officer of the Multilateral Fund Secretariat Eduardo Ganem presented and spoke at the meeting.
More than 140 participants attended this meeting, including delegates with international and bilateral organizations including UNDP, UNEP, UNIDO, World Bank, GiZ, State departments and commissions including MFA, NDRC, MOST, MOF, MOA, MOC, and GAC, local EPDs (EPBs), the industrial associations, the scientific research institutions, the Chinese and international enterprises and the media outlets.

Driving down the highway at 145 km/hr on the left side of the road, in a car whose steering wheel is on the right side, took some getting used to. passing cars on the road by going into the oncoming traffic lane on the highway also took some getting used to. something about seeing that truck charging at me as i pass another truck, is kinda unnerving.
the coast was a nice change, it was kinda tiring though. ended up sleeping early all nights, though! first night, i was just tired… 2nd night i had to wake up at 330am for a safari trip, and the last night, my friends just kinda lamed out so we went back, and there was nothing to do but sleep.
i couldn't afford to go on a solo safari tour, so i planned to go with a group, 2 brits from another hotel, to drive through Tsavo East, one of the largest protected areas in kenya. We agreed on a price, and agreed that the van would pick me up at 4am on Saturday.
Its 4am, and I make it to the front door, no one is around, and its dark out there. The van pulls up, he confirms my name and room number, so i enter the van.
About 20 minutes on the road he lets me know that the other 2 Brits have cancelled so its just going to be me, and the price is going to almost double.
Are you serious?
Little did he know, I'm from NY, and we don't take that shit. So after some minutes of discussion that was not going anywhere, he let me know we would meet with the safari tour owner, and I could discuss with him.
Its 5am at this point, still dark, i'm in a van with a stranger, in some unknown part of coastal kenya, the streets are barren, but i'm not feeling uneasy really, just more annoyed because of the lack of sleep, and I had no problem telling him to turn his ass around and drop me back at the hotel.
The driver, an older Yemenite man, and the owner, a Kenyan guy are both telling me that you cannot get a single tour rate less than x amount, and i told them that i didn't care that their plan didn't work out, but its a simple thing called communication. When they found out that the two brits cancelled the day before, they should have done everything in their power to have the hotel contact me, to give me the choice, instead of taking me out into the middle of nowhere before dawn and demanding about 100 dollars that I had no intention of paying.
So the owner resorted to begging. And that was just pathetic. "Please, sir with all your mercy, please just give us the extra money." I'll tell you something right here and now, these hotel sponsored tourist companies are NOT hurting for money. Meanwhile there are legitimate and honest people who can't find a job for more than 1 dollar per day.
I told the man to stop begging, and that it's not about mercy, that it's about business. Finally I was getting a headache and I added 20 dollars, and the owner accepted, but the driver was not happy. The driver started yelling at the owner in Swahili, not knowing that I understand, letting him know that i'm a rich american and that i could have given them much more…
... which is when i broke out into swahili, and that ended that conversation.
The drivers tone changed after this, and things got a little less tense. :) He told me that he would pray that I see lions, (since i've never had much luck in safari trips, beyond a few zebras)
Praying for lions, an interesting thing to pray for. Not sure if I understand so much the concept of asking for things in prayer. I understand praying for strength, patience, and hope…. but for lions, not so much, but i let him have his moment.
after 2 hours of driving through the grasslands, i spotted one owl, a bird, and a baby monkey in a tree. i felt jipped on so many levels.
until my Yemenite friend's prayers were answered… multiple times. Over the course of the day I saw 8 lions, way up close too. I got one shot of the lions, a herd of elephants in the distance, and a posse of warthogs.
What's funny about the Lion King, is the lack of creativity in the characters names. The main characters name is Simba, which means Lion in Kiswahili. The other character, Pumba, also means warthog. To an east african audience, I can't imagine them being that impressed with "Hey lion how you doin? " "Oh, not much warthog, what's new with you"
I discovered something very interesting about my driver. While he had no problem driving up close to the lions, which I know could rip us to shreds, with our open windows…. he had a phobia that i did not expect.
So we're driving driving, driving and there's an elephant off to the side of the road in the distance… I was EXCITED to get to see this elephant upclose, but all of a sudden the car comes to a dead stop.
"We cannot go this way"
"Why not there's an elephant right there, its a great shot!"
"No no, you take the photo from here"
"Sir, please, lets just get a little closer"
"No! I AM AFRAID OF ELEPHANTS!"
I thought he was joking, but I came to find out, he most certainly wasn't.
I told him "Sir, he's just eating he's not even looking at us"
He said "Ah… he is just PRETENDING to eat. He has very bad intentions. he wants us to think he's just eating, and then we will drive to him, and he will Kill us both I can see it in his eyes."
I looked in the elephants eyes, which were about a quarter of a mile away in the distance, and so I didn't see much. Maybe if we were a little closer I could see the vindictive stare of an ill-willed giant mammal serial killer.
But all I saw was an elephant eating grass.
It just so happened, that this road was our only way out. What did we do? We waited. For almost an hour. Driving away, coming back to see if it was still there, and it was, so we would drive away again. Finally I had enough of the bullshit (no pun intended!! ha!) and when he asked me if i saw the elephant still there, I lied. I said it was gone. So he was like "thank God" but it was still there.
So as we drove closer, the elephant must have seen us coming and walked away because by teh time we got there, the elephant was behind a tree. And guess what, it was eating. But I could not snap the photo cuz we were driving too fast.
"I hate these animals!"
Maybe this man is in the wrong field.
The previous day I got to the beach, and was approached by a beach boy "hey man! how you doin today mr. tourist". The beach boys are non-licensed vendors and tour guides who are locals in any beach town, who are just trying to make a living, but because of increasing pressures by teh tourism industry and the police, they are losing their only means of livelihood, because tourists fear them.
As I saw during this trip, even the licensed tour guides can be shady.
But this beach boy approached me, and I looked at him, and I knew him.
"Amony", I said.
He took off his sunglasses "PAUL" And he ran as fast as he could towards me and gave me a hug and he was as shocked to see me as I was to see him.
He was a friend I made on the beach in June 2007, and we ended up becoming homies. Him and a few of his friends seemed really cool and honest, and they ran their businesses with integrity. THey were guys with great spirits and good hearts. Rastas at heart, with always a warm smile on their face, despite the tough times they'd been facing in recent days. I made plans to meet up with him and Kakaa, the other dude I'd met, for later on that day.
We walked and talked that afternoon past the eyes of the toursim police, since now these guys cannot go on the beaches of their own villages because of the laws to protect vacationers.
They brought me to a cave made of dead coral that had been there for hundreds of years, it was tremendous, and we just chatted about politics, economics, relationships, and life in general. One of the things my friend said, still rings in my ears, a translated saying from Swahili: "Hurry hurry, has no blessing."
Something we learned Sunday on our way back to Nairobi, on a vast stretch of highway with no gas. We managed about 60 kilometers with an empty tank, taking it slow, putting it on neutral, staying in the blazing heat without A/C, and of course, no radio. But we made it to a petrol station.
Because this is a post-modern writing, I will go back in time again to the safari trip, after all the drama, the guy asked me if i would quit my job and promote his safari business, and also sponsor him for a green-card.
Kakaa just texted me "We pray one day, the poor man will go shopping."
I'm dehydrated and gonna get some water. Peace ya'll.
petty tourist hijacking, praying for lions, and a reunion
Driving down the highway at 145 km/hr on the left side of the road, in a car whose steering wheel is on the right side, took some getting used to. passing cars on the road by going into the oncoming traffic lane on the highway also took some getting used to. something about seeing that truck charging at me as i pass another truck, is kinda unnerving.

Building the cloud with open source: Red Hat
KUALA LUMPUR, 8 JULY 2010 Open source software (OSS) would help to build a more flexible and stronger platform for cloud computing solutions, according to open source firm Red Hat.
Speaking during the recent MOSC [Malaysia Open Source Conference] 2010, Red Hat director, business and technology solutions Asia Pacific and Japan, Frank Feldmann, said it was a logical move for governments and organisations to consider OSS to help drive cloud computing infrastructures.
According to a recent study by Accenture, Feldmann said in both the United States and the United Kingdom, respondents cited quality and improved reliability as the key benefits to open source programmes. A total of 70 per cent cited improved reliability, and 69 per cent said they are finding better security and bug fixing.
In Malaysia, the number of public sector agencies reported by the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU) director-general Dato' Mohamad Zabidi Zainal to be adopting and implementing OSS is 691 or 95 per cent, which represents more than a 25-fold increase since the OSS Master Plan was introduced, said Feldmann. The OSS adoption in government agencies has resulted in estimated known savings of US$58.33 million (RM188 million).
There has been significant progress with OSS in Malaysia, he said. MAMPU has said that 53 per cent of the 4,000 software vendors it has listed provide open source services; six years ago, it was zero.
Microsoft collaboration, growth trajectory
As part of our OSCI [Open SystemC initiative], we marked up 60 partners in Malaysia last year. This number has now grown to 100 companies, said Feldmann. Open source is on a trajectory to become dominant in the next 10 years.
He cited Accenture's global study that indicated two-thirds of organisations expected to increase their investment in OSS in 2010, while almost 40 per cent said they expect to migrate mission-critical software to open source in the next 12 months. Cost is a huge driver. Of the respondents, 71 per cent said they believed they could save in software maintenance costs. They also cited savings in total cost of ownership and development costs.
In addition, collaboration with companies is on the increase, said Feldmann. With x86 machines, Microsoft and Red Hat have signed agreements to work together to meet customer demands as both operating systems are often in use in these scenarios.
These are extraordinary times we live in, he said. Open source is one of the best ways to harvest new ideas. Linux is the biggest software project on the planet with 11,000 new lines of code being added to the Linux kernel every day, which has 11 million lines of code.
"As an example, HTML5, which is an open standard, is an abstract language that has evolved to a medium far beyond just content, said Feldmann. It can now drive full blown applications. This standard will evolve faster into becoming an application delivery mechanism."
"Today, Web 2.0 applications such as wikis, blogs, social software, collaboration means that most companies are not set up to handle the plethora of applications," he said. Better business models based on subscription are more customer-centric. This, coupled with modern architectures that deliver on the promise and potential of technology, is the best way to deliver innovation to the business.

As both Donald Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and communications advisor Michael Caputo parted ways with the campaign on Monday, a new veteran advisor joined the team to oversee Trump surrogates.
Kevin Kellems was recently hired by the Trump campaign, according to the New York Times.
Mr. Kellems, who is based in Indiana, advised Newt Gingrich for a time during his 2012 presidential campaign. He also was the communications director for former Vice President Dick Cheney, and worked for Paul D. Wolfowitz, the former deputy secretary of defense who was a major proponent of the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Mr. Trump has made criticism of the Iraq war and of President George W. Bush's administration central to his candidacy.
The campaign has relied heavily on television and radio pundits as campaign surrogates.
According to the New York Times, campaign officials were looking to expand the campaign's communications team with experienced political communications staff.

Use simple construction techniques to build a customizable display for whatever you want to show off: metal, resin, fiber… even moss!
By Maria Apostolou | Published: Wednesday, August 05, 2015
As I was hiking through the woods, a patch of bright green moss caught my eye. I picked a small piece and tucked it in my backpack, unsure of how I would use it, but certain that I wanted to incorporate it in a piece of jewelry. I had recently been making hollow rings that incorporated natural materials, so it seemed appropriate to give this moss a new home in a ring.
I encourage you to not take the suggested measurements too seriously, and have a little fun while you're at it! You can change the shape of the hollow form, add texture to the metal, or alter the pierced shape in the top of the ring. If you don't want to use moss, search for other exciting materials to place inside your ring.

Why do you ask your potential clients to attend a seminar before coming in?
We ask people who wish to become clients to attend a seminar first, because so many of the questions that often come up in our programs are addressed at the seminar. We find that those who invest time in educating themselves prior to starting one of our programs, progress much more quickly! Our Seminars are free. We feel that educating the public is simply something that Health Professionals should do, after all, the word "Doctor" actually means "Teacher." Not everyone who comes to our seminar comes with the idea of doing one of our programs. Some simply come in order to become more informed about health topics.
Is it really a free seminar?
Our seminars really are free. You will receive lots of information about how to become healthier without having to pay anything! At the end of the seminars, and only for those who really come with the mindset of starting a program, we will spend 10 minutes describing our programs for those who wish to know more. For those who will have come just to learn, you will learn more than you expect to learn from a free seminar!
Do I have to come to the seminar?
We've learned from experience that those who educate themselves about our unique process prior to starting our programs do much better. So, at this point, we require people to attend one of our seminars in order to become a client. The only exception to this are people outside of California.

As President Obama tries to rally support for a strike against Syria, he finds himself in a high stakes diplomatic chess match with no good outcome in sight. Mr. Obama's stand on principle for the prohibition of chemical weapons use and the maintenance of international norms puts at risk the future of his presidency and his legacy.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is a ruthless dictator determined to destroy his opposition using every weapon in his arsenal. On Wednesday, the New York Times said of Assad, "behind the veneer of normality, Mr. Assad has grown increasingly aggressive, declaring his determination to wipe out the opposition, insisting that he is standing against an imperialist enemy."
Syria's civil war has left more than 100 thousand civilians dead in that country. Two million war refugees have fled to Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, and about five million Syrians have had to flee their homes. Meanwhile, Assad has been able to turn the tide of momentum in the conflict to his favor. His opposition is made up of a myriad of groups with differing ideologies and competing goals, which has made it difficult for America to provide military support. So rebel fighters are inadequately trained and poorly armed.
Perhaps emboldened by his improving position, Assad has reportedly resorted to chemical weapons to kill and demoralize his opponents. The United States has overwhelming and convincing evidence that he is behind the attack two weeks ago, which killed more than a thousand civilians, including several hundred children.
One year ago President Obama told a news conference, "We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized." He concluded, "That would change my calculus. That would change my equation." He did not specify any consequences at that news conference.
This past Saturday, the president announced he had decided on the consequences. "After careful deliberation I have decided the United States should take military action against Syrian regime targets," Mr. Obama said. But he added that he would seek Congress's approval, even though he did not need to do so.
The president and key members of his administration have "flooded the zone" in search of congressional support, as well as the support of key allies. In a series of hearings, Secretary of Sate John Kerry has stressed that military action would not be directed toward a regime change, it would not be an open-ended intervention, nor would America put "boots on the ground" in Syria.
But the administration has to overcome great skepticism for its case from a Congress that was burned 10 years earlier by false evidence of weapons of mass destruction from President George W. Bush's administration as justification for invading Iraq. Meanwhile, according to recent polls, a war-weary American public is opposed to any military action against Syria.
There are no good options for the president. Failure to attack Syria will only further embolden Assad who will continue to massacre his own civilians, and it will spur Iran to accelerate its development of nuclear weapons. Worse, it will weaken America's standing in the world, at a time when Russia and China are expanding their ambitions.
On the other hand, a "limited" attack, which the president proposes, is unlikely to be effective in significantly degrading and deterring Syria's chemical weapon's stockpile, much of which is hidden among civilians, or deter Assad from using them again and again if he becomes desperate. An American attack is certain to result in civilian casualties, set off a wave of terrorist strikes against Western nations and Syria's neighbors, and further demonize the U.S. among some people in the region.
On Wednesday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved, by a 10-to-7 bipartisan vote, a resolution that would limit military strikes against the Syrian government to a 60-day window, with the possibility of a 30-day extension, and it would specifically block the use of ground troops. The full Senate is expected to take up the measure early next week. The prospects for success in the House of Representatives are uncertain. If Congress fails to pass the measure, it would be seen as a huge international embarrassment for the president.
But momentum appears to be slowly building on Capitol Hill for support of military action against Assad's government, in part because it is the best choice from several bad options. If an attack is approved and carried out by American forces, many nations may not like it. But they will recognize that America, led by President Obama, has stood on a fundamental principle against the use of chemical weapons for the good of all humanity.

Synopsis Film Operation Mekong (2016) BluRay 720p MKV + MP4:
Inspired by the true story known as the Mekong Massacre–two Chinese commercial vessels are ambushed while traveling down the Mekong River in the waters of the Golden Triangle, one of the largest drug-manufacturing regions in the world. 13 sailors are executed at gunpoint, and 900,000 methamphetamine pills are recovered at the scene. Upon discovery, the Chinese government immediately sends a band of elite narcotics officers led by Captain Gao Gang (Zhang Hanyu) to the Golden Triangle to uncover the truth behind the murders. Tea field owner and Golden Triangle-based intelligence officer Fang Xinwu (Eddie Peng) joins the investigation. After it is discovered that the drugs seized on the Chinese ships had been planted by the henchman of a notorious drug cartel leader named Naw Khar, the governments of Thailand, Laos, Myanmar and China launch a joint task force to apprehend the criminal. The road to justice is, however, paved with dangerous and deadly obstacles. Two Chinese merchant ships were attacked in Mekong river and 13 crews were killed. Thai policemen found 9 hundred thousand crystal meth on the ships. This new shocked China. Gang Gao, the leader of Narcotics Corps in Yun Nan province was assigned to lead a special team to Golden Triangle to investigate. Cooperated with a informer, Fanxin Wu, Gao discovered that 13 crew member were brutally murdered and framed up. Gao and Wu decided to fight for justice out of China no matter what it takes.

Six Validation Techniques to Improve Your Data Quality
Have you ever had a set of reports that were distributed for years only to have your business users discover that the reports have been wrong all along and consequently lose trust in your data warehouse environment? Gaining trust is the foundation of user adoption and business value of your data management program.
Taking data quality seriously can be difficult if agility and speed-to-market are the name of the game for your business users. This is a lesson that is very costly to learn the hard way. How do you prevent these issues from occurring? After all, it's not like you didn't have validation checks as part of your standard process.
Full data-quality frameworks can be time-consuming and costly to establish. The costs are lower if you institute your data quality steps upfront in your original design process, but it is a valuable exercise to review and overhaul your data quality practices if you only have basic checks in place today.

PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) August 06, 2016
"When I was planning on becoming a barber, I thought a lot about what I would like my shop to be like," said an inventor from Elizabeth City, N.C. "During this time, I came up with a convenient way for customers to select a hair style and other services in a quick, easy, intuitive fashion."
He developed the BARBERS PROFILE to provide a more convenient way for customers to review and select services at a barbershop or hair salon. The unit offers information about all of the services that the business provides. It enables customers to select the options that best meet their needs. The unit ensures that all of the options and services are clear and easily understandable. Also, it is usable to accept payment in order to speed up transactions. Furthermore, the invention assists with scheduling appointments, thereby streamlining service.
The original design was submitted to the Virginia Beach office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 15-VIG-182, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

It doesn't happen very often, but there will be times when you will read something someone halfway across the world has written and there won't be enough finger snaps, and "Yes! Yes!", and exclamation marks, and +1s to adequately convey how much those words hit home. They will be words you didn't even realize you wanted to say. Needed to say. Words that carry in them so much power, and so much light, enough to illuminate your path; to make sense of your journey.
It doesn't happen often, but when it does…
Such is the power of the words Te' V. Smith put together in his book, Here We Are: Reflections of a God Gone Mad.
Through a series of serendipitous events, I got a copy of this book early last year and it won't be an exaggeration if I say I have read it cover to cover at least two dozen times. Whether it is contained in a piece of poetry, a short story, or an essay, you can tell that each word is deliberate; purposeful. Te' is through his own honesty and vulnerability evoking in the reader a passion strong enough to cause action, first within, then without.
This is by no means a review of the book, but I figure it'll be a great disservice if I don't share the gift of Te's words with as many as cross my path. A gift of words that I find myself many times comparing to James Baldwin's.
In Te's words,
This collection is very much centered on God. It is a glorious surrender, exploration, and expression of faults, faith, forgiveness, and favor. This is growth at the edge of the mirror, and my hope is that you may, as I have, find yourself and some bit of freedom in the gorgeous-ugly-terrifying-liberating-questioning-confronting journey.
Excerpts from his book…
A few questions for Te'…
*Why do you create?
I create to restore the roar of my holy place, to rightly confront my divinity and my demons, I create because it is the only suitable way I have to introduce, preserve and see myself off with care. This is not something I "get to do", this is who I am, and this is all I have ever been. I am on an unwavering quest for peace and understanding. I want to create something perpetually impressive, something that God can worship. This sounds a bit supercilious, but if we are not creating with the goal to reach the ear and heart of God, then what is any of this for? I am not here to march on Washington; I am here to march on the heavens; to call down ugly glory so that we may find salvation in it.
I am inspired by everything my soul tastes and touches; from the blooming violence of oppressive theologies – to the poetry in a tree coiled around itself. I don't believe that one can be in this world and not be inspired, often times from dismaying disbelief, by the way in which it spins around and through us. I do believe that I am in love with a great deal of things, I feel everything and the privilege and poverty of that inspires me daily.
*If you weren't a writer, you'd be…?
*Your creative process in a few words.
My creative process: setting a climate with, but not limited to, Charles Mingus, ginger-mint-green tea, Jamaican fruit incense, rich solitude, fresh air and natural motion.
*Your ideal life at 50.
My ideal life at 50: I'd be living on an Island perhaps, married to a beautiful soul who burns with passion for me, caring for our children, writing, lecturing, traveling, sharing good food, good art, good wine, good love and great peace.
*What do you wish you knew 10 years ago?
10 years ago, I wish I knew; or rather, I wish I were firm in the few certainties I have. 1. We don't fall in love, we fall in safety. All of us, on this often-horrifying globe are, from the time we come to know anything of love and despair, searching to recreate the safety of Eden, where we are standing naked before universal god and love. 2. That I am a writer before I am anything else and that I ought not attempt to forsake the lone glory in that. 3. Any God worth their merit in worship, mustn't be an external force.
*If you had to go anywhere in the world right now but only had 5 minutes to pack a bag, where would you go? What would you pack?
If I had to go anywhere, I would visit the beauty and divine culture of Lamu. If I had 5 minutes to pack a bag? Oh darling; I would spend that time making tea…there is always a bag packed.
* Currently working on…?
Currently working on a short stories series "Anbu" set in Nigeria, a three session spoken word series "The Sanctified Soul Suite", and a docu-film project "Understanding Shadows"
* Heaven is…?
I believe that heaven is gloves off-quiet-thirst quenching-soft stillness. I believe the old man with more wisdom than teeth, I met on the side of the road in Los Angeles had it right. Heaven is the full freedom to exist at your own pace and in your own way. Heaven is burden-less branches rooted in fertile ground. Heaven is living and loving and learning without explanation.
* Tea or coffee?
TeTea, always tea.
*What puts you to sleep at night?
Define sleep!
And because sometimes I put first things last, a brief history:
Born in East St. Louis IL. Nigeria. France. Grew up in my head. Raised by music and books. Wanted to heal the world with art. Got lost in Paducah. Jazz piano. Found myself is Paris. Read a lot. Lived. Wrote a ton. Toured with musicians and singers. Studied Systematic Theology. Wrote an album. Lived a book. Wrote for INBOX Magazine. Worked in FR. Recited poetry for Lyricist Lounge MTV/VH1. Wrote a novel. Learned a ton. Moved to St. Louis. Gospel piano. Toured more. London. Prague. Africa. Wrote songs for labels. Pursued slam poetry. Succeeded in it. Failed myself. Wanted to heal more. Flew to Madrid. Painted a print of a dream. Returned to St. Louis. Brought pride/ego with me. Too many hours. Not enough sleep. Moved to Hollywood. Destruction followed. Moved to Denver. Wrote a book. Wrote an album. Lived a talkshow. Experienced more in a year than two decades prior. Wrote a book. Moved to Philadelphia. Became a father. Growing up. Finding healing for myself. New perspective on love, life, faith, and growth. Forgiving myself. Finally published a book. Writing a novel. Painting a canvas. NOLA. No more hiding. Growing. Still want to heal the world with art. This time I start from the inside out.

Department of Anthropology, class of 2016
PhD Dissertation Title: RAKUGO HUMOR: The Performance of Memory, Mime, & Mockery in Urban Tokyo
Capstone Project: RAKUGO
Esra-Gökçe Sahin is a recent graduate in Social Anthropology and her dissertation research is based on the analysis of humor in Japanese traditional comedic storytelling, rakugo. While doing fieldwork she apprenticed a rakugo performer and performed rakugo in various venues in Tokyo. Esra's CMP capstone project explores the everyday life of a Japanese comedian who has been performing rakugo since 1969. Rakugo, a genre dating back to the seventeenth century, is taught from master to apprentice. The process of apprenticeship is painstaking and is the only path to recognition as a true, professional rakugo performer. Esra's project depicts the comedy master both as a serious mentor who considers the importance of sustaining the tradition, and a lighthearted man who finds joy in every moment of his life.

This is an ideal opportunity for young enthusiastic cyclists aged over 8 years to learn the basics of cycling from qualified cycling coaches. Bike maintenance, road safety and a cycling skills incorporating pedalling, balancing, braking and cornering will all form part of the programme.
The Easter Cycling Camps will provide ideal preparation for the An Post Tour of Sligo Family Fun Day which takes place on Saturday 4th May. The Family Fun Day was introduced as part of the overall An Post Tour in 2012 and it proved a huge success with over 500 children and parents involved in the 10K Hazelwood Spin. A 2K Bike Trail has been introduced for 2013 in the grounds of the IT Sligo. Also, there will also be lots of entertainment on the day including a spectacular acrobatic show, cycling side shows, BMX display and cycling skills challenge.
The An Post Tour Family Fun Day is supported by Sligo Borough Council 4.5.8 committee while refreshments on the day will also be provided by Good 4 U.
Meanwhile, entries from all over the country are being received on a daily basis from cyclists for the An Post Tour 60k/ 100k/ 160k. Early interest levels indicate that the An Post Tour of Sligo will have record entries in 2013. As the number of participants is capped at 2,000 all intending cyclists are encouraged to register well in advance for the event. The Friends of Sligo Regional Hospital are the worthy charity for the 2013 Tour.

The Camp will take place at IT Sligo, it is an outdoor venue so children need to dress appropriate for the weather. Gloves need to be worn as children will get cold when cycling. Children need to bring a drink and a lunch as they build up a big appetite from all the cycling!
This programme has been very successful over the last few years and has been enjoyed by all those taking part; feedback from parents has been very positive.
Cycling is enjoyable, practical, good for the environment and good for your health. This camp is ideal for children who may be lacking some confidence to get out on their bikes.

Dear Future Fiancé,
Size does matter when it comes to my best friend. Oh, we're not talking about your best friend down South, but you know… the cliche that diamonds are a girl's best friend. Sure, every girl envisions a flawless ring that is not only blindingly beautiful, but massive enough to induce arthritis. However, with budget constraints in mind and a healthy dose of reality, let's breakdown why some women equate and emphasize their search for a husband and rock as if it's the search for the Holy Grail.
One tiny piece of jewelry has become a symbolic piece with its ruminations beginning centuries ago. In olden days, the reason why people wore engagement and wedding rings was due to traditional belief of Vena Amoris, a Latin name meaning, literally, "vein of love". Folklore for centuries instilled that this vein ran directly from the heart to the fourth finger of the left hand. The ring itself was a symbol of spirits, both of whom were also related to the home and hearth. The endless circle showed the eternal nature of the bond of two people, while the open center was meant to be a doorway to things unknown.
An engagement ring is a direct reflection of how one views your supposed life partner, equal and the relationship. Every diamond is unique, just as the person you want to marry. So, the entire ring should embody their personality, do justice to the relationship, and symbolize all future hope and potential for the future. You should either be proudly romantic and weeping or contemplating eternal bachelorhood right about now.
While some little girls grew up playing with Barbies and playing house, I grew up accompanying my diamond specialist Mother to jewelry stores. I ogled all the glittering goods and soaked up insider knowledge like a sponge, with Barbies and My Little Ponies in tow, of course. I was raised on the notion that men should be the ones who purchase fine jewelry for their beloveds; while in more contemporary times, I'm coming around to independent women celebrating single girl status with 'right-hand rings'. My soapbox is where modern meets archaic and traditional. Wherever your stance on the great diamond divide may be, let me educate you a little on not the ABC's of diamonds, but the 4C's – cut, clarity, color, and carats.
I remember the first time, instead of being filled with elation – trepidation and the overwhelming urge to vomit overtook my body. As the words, "I love you beyond comprehension. Will you do me the honor of spending the rest of your life with me? Will you marry me?," stammered out of his mouth, I cried tears of sorrow knowing in that moment that I loved and cared this man, but I couldn't spend the rest of my life with him. One glance down at the ring box confirmed my heartache and my eyes became broken faucets with profuse amounts of tears and regrets running from them. He really didn't know me at all.
The 4 C's of Diamonds
Cut – Describes the finish, proportion and polish of the diamond. These factors determine the fire and brilliance of a diamond. Let me put this in layman's terms – the facets of the cut will determine how much sparkle and bling factor the diamond possesses. It also deals with the shape of the diamond itself. While my body may be pear-shaped, that doesn't mean I would want a diamond to be! My first boyfriend made this mistake, but his ring wrong-doings were not the fatal error in our relationship. Tried and True choices: Round or Princess (maximum sparkle) 2nd Round Picks: Cushion or Emerald For the Unique: Asscher or Radiant (P.S. I'm an Asscher kind of gal)
Clarity – Describes the clearness or purity of a diamond. A grade is assigned to each diamond, with 'F' representing a flawless diamond to 'I' meaning that the diamond has inclusions. For novices, inclusions are flaws and fractures, which some can be well hidden with certain cuts, while others will create dullness and a sight for sore eyes. While in school you may have never wanted to get an 'F', in the school of big rocks – the closer you get to 'F', 'VVS1', 'VVS2' or 'VS1' will help you graduate to some pre-marital bliss. So, if you like it dirty, this is not the time, nor place for it, buddy. Keep it in the bedroom and your eye on a pure prize.
Color – From white to yellow, diamonds receive a grade for the amount of color they contain. Most women prefer colorless to near colorless diamonds; however, colored diamonds over the years have gained popularity due to J Lo's pink diamond during Bennifer days and Paris Hilton's canary yellow super sparkler from a fiancé with shocking the same name. Take note that unless your pockets are as deep as an A-List celeb with a penchant for in-your-face bling, you're better off sticking with a near colorless diamond. To put it in some manly terms, I'll go with an octane gasoline grading system: Premium – D, E, and F; Supreme – G, H, and I; Regular – J and K; Bus Fare – Anything lower than K. If you end up with a yellow-tinged diamond, don't sweat it; you can offset the color by setting it in a yellow gold band and your lady in waiting will be none the wiser.
Carat – Carat is the weight of the diamond, with one carat equaling .20 grams. The more carats, the pricier the diamond, although the other "C's" can influence the damage you'll be doing to your wallet greatly. Appearances can always be deceiving and in this case, weight and size are always easily confused. The cut, depth, setting, shape, and hand size all play a part in how large a diamond will appear on the final product. A fine craftsman will know the tricks of the trade to give the illusion of a maximized dimension; think of the male grooming of your best friend and you'll catch my drift. While, I'm glad you grew some cajones to get down on one knee, but don't let a dinky ring make others question your manhood. 1 carat and up are always safe bets, though larger hands or lengthy fingers will look better with at least 1.5-2 carats. Err on the side of practicality as a huge diamond can just also be gaudy and garish and don't sacrifice quality for a large, underwhelming rock.
The extra credit C: Cost
While some will advise you to save up 3 months to a quarter of your salary, the reality is it is whatever you are comfortable with within your budget. The moment you decide to go with the Cartier, Tiffany, or Harry Winston route, you can be sure to expect to say goodbye to all your pretty pennies in exchange for a serious rock that will carry some name-dropping clout. In the end, just try to be fiscally responsible, while keeping in mind the wise words of Kanye West, "I ain't saying she's a gold digger, but she ain't messin' with no broke n…" and avoid those toxic Gollum "My Preciousssss" types.

Line Up For Battle With Olleys Armies Scrunt Light Infantry
April 19, 2013 by brennon
Olleys Armies have some incredibly awesome looking Light Infantry waiting to head into battle and this time they are of the Scrunt variety. Check them out...
These fellows are 28mm scale and come with a selection of interchangeable heads and weapons. I reckon these would be perfect for starting your own demi-human Imperial Guard army.
I love these and not just because they're Dwarves! I think the detail and work that's gone into them is top notch.
What do you think?

Why India is not blessed with educated people?
India is the country which represents the whole world. From every cast to every religion, everyone can live freely, independently without any pressure and bindings. This quality of India makes it unique in the whole world. Every year millions of visitors migrate from there home lands and lives and settle in India, the reason behind this is amazing hospitality and a welcoming attitude towards everyone. Here knowledge and technology is accepted without any barrier. No matter whom you are but if you have something to offer then India will welcome you.
The most amazing quality India has is its unique talents and every state has its own unique culture and art. The power and impact of these artistic and fascinating traditions is that it can really make a mark in the whole world.
From food to textiles to art to entertainment India has everything in excess but still India is known as the developing country. Its 2012 and the world has changed drastically but why India is still developing?
The manpower India has is strong and bold enough that it can be used in any job. There is no shortage of human resource and in most of the work area disguised unemployment is practiced but still India is struggling.
Is it because of lack of resources? But it is noticeable that India has plenty of resources that it can feed its own population without any outside help but still India is not able to meet the needs of its people. Why?
Besides so much advancement in food, some portion of Indian population is still suffering from malnutrition. Indians have big farms and agricultural output but still people fall ill after eating those fruits and vegetables which are infected with pesticides and still there is no prevention. Why ?
Besides having everything, India behaves like it has nothing. Why?
The reason behind all this mess is lack of education and knowledge. There are resources but there is no knowledge about there right usage. The most shocking example of this is the politicians; most of the elected politicians are illiterate and some are even from crime world. They are not selected on the basis of there knowledge and caliber but on the basis of there money and physical power. How can they run a nation when they do not have any experience? Being older does not make anyone smart. Knowledge and education makes us a man from a monkey but India and its people do not acknowledge the importance of education.
Millions of students who graduate through schools/colledges enjoy corruption in there teenage as most of them allow candidates to cheat and copy in exchange of money. Moreover many times the examiner himself writes the answers of the question paper on the black board for better comfortable cheating. The youth gets there inspiration from these corrupt acts and they choose money as the exchange commodity for there every job. For them education is of no use as they can easily get there degrees by giving money. Well it was an example of academic qualification. The most shocking and breathtaking thing is that even students of professional courses like doctor and engineer give bribes and donations to the college for passing the exams.
Moreover taking huge bribes in the form of donations is a normal affair these days and there cannot be any prevention as some portion goes to the higher authorities who give license to these institutes and colleges. Most of the colleges do not have the suitable arrangements and staff which can give right education to the children but still this business is going high with the rocket speed.
Teachers are busy in completing the syllabus rest they are not concerned who understands and who doesn't. Students come for time pass only as most of them are busy in ragging and others in girlfriend /boyfriend drama. There is no sincerity towards grasping knowledge and that's why exams are like hell for the Indian students.
The biggest example of this is that they easily forget what they read in there previous semester, as they just grasp it like pill but do not pressurize themselves for better understanding.
Parents are only concerned with high percentage but not with the education. They don't even know whether there children understand the concepts of the book or they just pass the time.
Well most of the population in India is illiterate, some do not have money and resources and some do not want to study. Moreover government is not at all serious about the education of poor people and that can be seen by the working of government schools. The atmosphere of government schools is horrifying; from the teachers to the environment everything is uneducated and adulterated. Even the midday meal given to the poor children by school authorities is sometimes adulterated and insufficient.
There is no procedure by which poor children can grasp free education and that's why most of them leave there studies in 4th to 5th grade and choose other working options to earn money.
Illiteracy gives rise to corruption as an illiterate person cannot earn its living easily. Although there is high demand of labor and workers who can do physical work but the pay they get is horrifying. They can only fetch food from that pay. There are no strict rules and regulations which can control the activities which lead to unemployment. Millions of vacancies in government job go empty every year as not every one is able to apply for them. Those who apply by hard work are also mistreated as consideration is given to donation and bribe.
Education gives us a broad way of thinking, we can easily examine the situation and can suggest required solution if we are aware about the things going on. Uneducated person cannot take right decision as lack of knowledge gives rise to unprofessional attitude.
It has been seen that uneducated people are more into criminal activities as they do not have any sincerity and fear of the law and order. Uneducated people usually trap themselves by small baits and do awful activities. Knowledge is valuable and it not only gives us our right but it also gives us the power to make the right decisions.
There are very few inventions in our country as only some hardworking people did tremendous efforts to bring a change but we cannot expect the feeling of sacrifice and dedication from Indian people.
This lenient action towards education and this careless attitude is making the nation a sick nation as no knowledge or part knowledge is pretty dangerous.
