ICC investigation a possible milestone for accountability in Europe
"The Norwegian Helsinki Committee welcomes the decision by Fatou Bensouda, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, on October 8 to submit a request to the Pre-Trial Chamber of the ICC to open an investigation of core international crimes during the war in Georgia in 2008," says Secretary General Bjørn Engesland.
"The decision gives hope there will be justice in Georgia. Moreover, impunity has been a persistent feature of the many brutal post-Soviet armed conflicts. An ICC investigation in Georgia could be a game-changer in the region", Engesland continues.
Large-scale hostilities broke out in Georgia on 7 August 2008 when government troops launched an attack on the breakaway republic of South Ossetia. In response, Russia invaded and occupied a large part of the Georgia. According to the prosecutor's request, an "estimated 13,400 to 18,500 ethnic Georgians were forcibly displaced from South Ossetia and the 20km buffer zone" established by Russian forces in what could amount to a crime against humanity.
A peace treaty was signed on 14 August. While most of those who were internally displaced or fled during the conflict were able to return to their homes, the expulsion of Georgians from villages in South Ossetia appears to be permanent.
Many organizations and journalists documented international crimes in South Ossetia and Georgia. After initially collecting evidence on what appeared to be war crimes and crimes against humanity during and after the war, together with Georgian partners, the Norwegian Helsinki Committee (NHC) later documented the lack of efficient investigations in Georgia and Russia.
By surveying witnesses to and victims of grave crimes, as well as the sites where crimes were committed, the NHC concluded that genuine investigations were not carried out by national justice authorities, in spite of what Georgian and Russian prosecutors claimed.
From 2010 to 2014, the NHC published four reports on the lack of investigations, and made numerous appeals to relevant justice authorities, including the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICC (OTP) in The Hague.
"With this decision by the Prosecutor, we feel that we have been listened to," says Secretary General Engesland. "Fatou Bensouda has made a milestone decision, and hopefully the Pre-Trial Chamber will agree to her detailed and soundly reasoned request. If so, it will be the ICC's first investigation in Europe, and the first outside Africa. That would be the right move, for impunity should not be tolerated anywhere. We call on both Georgia and Russia to assist the ICC if an investigation is opened."
Georgia deposited its instrument of ratification to the Rome Statute, the International Criminal Court's founding treaty, on 5 September 2003. The ICC Prosecutor announced the preliminary examination of the Situation in Georgia on 14 August 2008.
The ICC will only open an investigation if serious crimes are believed to have taken place and if local justice authorities are unable or unwilling to investigate the crimes. The request by the OTP is thus a sign that the patience is ended with regard to Georgia's and Russia's attempts at investigating possible crimes.
While it appears that forces under Russian control carried out the majority and the most severe crimes, both sides committed crimes. The ICC policy is to target senior commanders. In principle, both nations' leaders, then Presidents Mikheil Saakashvili of Georgia and Dmitry Medvedev of the Russian Federation, could be indicted.
"While Georgia today appears to be first in line of countries outside of Africa to be investigated by the ICC," says Engesland, "Ukraine has just accepted ICC jurisdiction over core international crimes committed during the armed conflict that started in the winter of 2014. An ICC investigation would be a signal that impunity can no longer be taken for granted in a region where those presiding over armed conflicts have faced few consequences other than political dividends."

There are a lot of people that have very sensitive skin and this makes it hard for them to find the right product that they can use that will help meet their needs. There are though, some things that a person can use or that they can make themselves in order to take care of their skin in a natural fashion. If you decide to go out and buy products that claim to be all natural you really need to read the ingredients to make sure there aren't any other chemicals in the product that would harm your skin. A lot of the chemicals that do get into so called natural products and put in to keep their shelf life longer and still these could be harmful to sensitive skin.
If you want to be able to give your skin a deep cleaning, something deeper than soap then you are going to need to use a natural toner. If you want to make sure that it's truly natural, you should make it yourself. You can do this by using items like witch hazel, cucumber juice, crushed alum, some rose water, boiled mint water, orange blossom water, apple cider vinegar, some lemon juice as well as grated potato. You can mix together any of these items to make a good natural skin toner.
There are a lot of products out there that claim to be natural cleansers for your skin but then again they could contain chemicals that are there to help preserve their shelf lives, so again you might want to consider making your own. There are a lot of different things that you might already have on hand that you can use for a natural skin cleanser. Some of those items are milk, yogurt, honey, papaya, coffee, apple cider vinegar, cucumbers, eggs and lemon juice.
Milk or yogurt combined with honey make a great cleanser and the honey adds some antibacterial properties as well. You can make your own cleanser by mixing any of the items together in any combination that you want. If you add coffee to one of your mixtures it is going to serve as an exfoliate and will remove dead skin cells and the caffeine will actually increase the blood flow to the skin. You can also use an egg as a mask and it will remove all the gunk from your pores as it dries on your skin.
If you want to go all natural when it comes to moisturizing your skin there are a few things that you can do and that would be by using jojoba oil, olive oil, vitamin E, use sesame oil, avocado oil, honey, beeswax, cocoa butter, coconut oil as well as macadamia extract. You can buy most of these things at any health foods store and then take any combination of them and mix them together to create your own personal moisturizer.

Property Details
Fishlegs is a three-bedroom Devon holiday cottage sleeping 6 with great views over the town of Brixham on the South Devon coast. Fishlegs is quite unique; if you want an individually styled and interesting seaside holiday cottage in Devon, a property that really stands out from the rest, then Fishlegs is ideal. There has been a significant amount of skill, intelligence and thought that has gone into the decoration and furnishing of this property. The end result is quirky, unique, individual and fun. In fact, if you are to summarise Fishlegs into just one word, it would be 'fun'.
There are numerous quirky and yet stylish fittings throughout, from the signs above the doors that say 'ouch' and 'duck', to the intelligent way that stonework has been exposed, fire wood gets stored and the ambient lighting is placed. Fishlegs really is a holiday home that is setting the trend. It is no coincidence that Fishlegs is also located in Brixham, probably one of the most up and coming tourist locations in the South West. If you like individual and unique holiday homes, looking for something that sleeps six people and is family friendly with great views, you won't be disappointed with Fishlegs!
The cottage has an open plan living and dining area with three-seater and two seater sofas centred around a log burner and the flat screen TV, elegantly and interestingly furnished as you would expect. The dining area is similarly styled, seating six people with fantastic lighting. Duck as you move through the stable doors into the kitchen, which is equipped with a gas oven, grill and hob, tumble dryer and dishwasher as well as a washing machine, fridge freezer and all the necessary utensils.
There are three bedrooms at Fishlegs comprising: * The master bedroom is on the first floor and is stylishly furnished complete with fitted wardrobes, TV and a double bed. There are views from the master bedroom over to Brixham harbour and its mix of colourful trawlers and pleasure boats. The master bedroom is again uniquely designed and decorated throughout with doors to the Jack and Jill en-suite bathroom.
The second bedroom on the first floor has twin beds with a fitted wardrobe, more of a fisherman's cottage style with whitewashed walls and a bedside table.
The third bedroom at Fishlegs is on the second floor and has an open wardrobe, double bed and dressing table with TV. There are superb high views over towards the harbour and the town.
The family bathroom on the first floor can be accessed from both the master bedroom and the hallway. It has a roll top bath, a shower and a heated towel rail as well as underfloor heating. With unique and intricate designs including the bespoke towel rail, this is a bathroom with a difference and a wow factor.
Fishlegs has a patio to the front of the property with table and chairs, a sun trap and of course, space to sit down and relax. This really is a unique, individually tailored cottage, breaking away from tradition and matching the reputation of Brixham has an up-and-coming and contemporary holiday destination, ideal for a family that appreciates design and aesthetics.
BEAUTIFUL AND STUNNING COTTAGE + FIZZ! by Submitted by Claire Churchill, Poole on 12/09/2016 on March 30th 2017
Fishlegs cottage was absolutely beautiful, the interior design was stunning with so much attention to detail. We also had a bottle of fizz from the owners on arrival. The views from the terrace are amazing and we enjoyed sitting out each morning and evening watching the boats come in and go out of the harbour. Brixham itself is a vibrant little harbour with some lovely little boutique shops and nice eateries and cafes and it only takes 20 mins by bus to get to the bigger Paignton for more shops, cinema, zoo and pier. Would recommend one of the boat trips from the harbour and of course a walk up to Berry Head. Just a lovely holiday all round, cottage and town highly recommended!

Grah Lighting all over the world
Grah® Lighting is a reputable European company engaged in the production of highly efficient LED street lights as well as other LED products. The company was established as a spin-off from the LED street and industrial light division of the parent company SG Automotive, which is a trusted partner and supplier for leading car manufacturers. It is one of the few if not the only company in the world which manufactures LED street lights based on the most advanced automotive production line under strictest quality automotive control standards.
The company has recently completed several major projects, one major in Spain – the project Maracena. It is based on smart lighting, which basically means the possibility of dimming lights depending on the time and space. In this very extensive project the company produced 1,300 Grah® Lighting LED lights.
Public lighting in the Italian municipality of Marsicovetere
High costs of electricity and maintenance of public lighting encouraged the municipality of Marsicovetere to replace incandescent, technologically outdated luminaires with the new, environmentally friendly LED technology. Old, wasteful sodium luminaires were replaced by 180 pcs of LSL® 60.
Municipality Marsicovetere was looking for a solution that would increase energy efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint caused by high-pressure sodium fixtures through implying Grah® LSL® luminaires. With the installation of LSL® luminaires we achieved outstanding results. Grah® Lighting solution represents a revolution in lighting quality, reducing upward light scattering as well as light pollution. Energy savings are now over 60%, CO2 emissions have fallen drastically. Furthermore, maintenance costs have been dramatically reduced thanks to product longevity.
Leading LED technology in Western Australia
Grah Lighting in cooperation with Australian distributor Gigavision Lighting replaced existing lights with Aerolite LSL®90 luminaries on the mining site in the Pilbara desert. During the summer months in the Pilbara, maximum temperatures exceed 32 °C almost every day, and temperatures in excess of 45 °C are not uncommon. The Pilbara town of Marble Bar even set a world record of most consecutive days of maximum temperatures of 37°C or more, during a period of 160 such days.
LED street luminaires LSL®90 were the ideal choice to meet the requirements of such demanding circumstances as their temperature range is from – 30 °C up to 60 °C. Project was conducted by Highlux and with installation of the Aerolite LSL®90 luminaries, our customer achieved 60 percent energy savings, significantly reduced maintenance costs and improved safety on the site. They have decided for LED lighting due to the numerous advantages of this cutting edge technology, which is becoming a leading technology in street lighting as well.

Born in Lima, Peru, Boris attended the National School of Fine Arts in his native country before immigrating to the United States in 1964. He has since done a great volume of work for the Fantasy field, having worked for virtually every major publishing house in the science fiction/fantasy industry. Boris has also illustrated for album covers, video box art and motion picture advertising. Boris' mastery of oil painting is immediately and abundantly clear to anyone who looks at his work, and his classic sense is as much an homage to the old masters as it is contemporary with today's Fantasy genre. For sheer dauntless bravura, few have ever pushed the limits as does Boris with his beautiful maidens and fearsome monsters.
Boris married Julie Bell in 1994 and they share their lives and their studio in Pennsylvania.

The last week or so had a number of articles for developers.
The term "Glasshole" was unveiled. It kind of amazes me how much emotion Google Glass seems to invoke.

There are two articles questioning the future of smartphones. Oddly, this question came up in my own life this week. I was playing with NFC and found it is nearly useless because of the need for a PIN on my phone. The fact that your phone has access to your entire digital life means it is much less useful for quick uses like NFC or utility apps. It makes me wonder if one doesn't need two or more different devices. Certainly security partitioning as it exists (i.e. you put in a PIN then get access to everything) is wrong. For many things one needs instant access, but for others it should be relatively hard (i.e. deletion of all data on your Google Drive should be rather hard to accomplish).

Bush Urges Pacific Rim to Expand Free Trade
Friday, September 7, 2007
SYDNEY, Sept. 7 -- President Bush on Friday called on Pacific Rim leaders to support efforts to expand free trade, saying that open markets are a crucial element in strengthening the "forces of freedom and prosperity."
Speaking to business leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum at the famed Sydney Opera House, Bush said free trade is the only route to long-term freedom and growth, despite the short-term pain it often causes in industrialized nations in terms of lost jobs and stagnant wages.
"The surest road to stagnation and instability is the path of isolation and protectionism," Bush said. "And the only road to enduring prosperity and stability is through open markets and open trade."
Bush wants leaders at the summit to push for progress in the so-called Doha round of the World Trade Organization talks, which have been stalled largely over differences between the United States and the European Union over tariffs and farm subsidies.
Bush also urged Pacific Rim leaders to address energy security and climate change in an "integrated" fashion, while continuing to battle terrorism.
Bush's address, his major speech at the 21-nation APEC conference, came one day after his meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao. In the 90-minute session, Hu assured Bush that his government is very concerned about the safety of products made in China, noting that they are sold not only overseas but also to consumers at home, White House aides said.
The session between the two leaders touched on a wide variety of other issues, including the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Hu reiterated an invitation to Bush and his family to attend the Games, Bush said. "I was anxious to accept," he recounted afterward.
Sensitive to concerns about China's human rights record, a Bush aide added a caveat to Bush's acceptance. The president would be attending "for the sports" and not to make any political statement, said James F. Jeffrey, a deputy national security adviser.
Bush and Hu described their meeting as cordial and open. "He's an easy man to talk to," Bush said. "I'm very comfortable in my discussions with President Hu."
Bush said that in the meeting, "I had a chance to share once again with the president my belief in religious freedom and religious liberty." That amounted to a criticism of China's control of religious expression. Aides said later that Bush told Hu that he would attend a Congressional Gold Medal ceremony for the Dalai Lama in Washington in October.
Contamination in Chinese-made food and products sold in the United States has become a major point of friction between the two countries in recent months, leading the Chinese government to launch a public relations offensive to shore up its reputation as a world trader.
Bush said Hu had been "quite articulate about product safety, and I appreciated his comments." Bush did not elaborate.

I got blogtagged and I tag some more
Once in while I browse the blogs of colleague bloggers. For sure I subscribed to their feeds but I know in busy times, I miss posts.
Today I came across the blogtag post of Jaanus from December 2006.
Blogtagging is a little game where you got blogtagged by someone else. You then have to share five things that are not commonly known about you.
Then you tag 5 more people and the game starts rolling.
5 things that not many people know, mmmm….. not that easy as I am quite open in my newsletters to family and friends. But I give it a try.
1) I am not a gardener. Which sounds strange because I am definitely a country girl. Maybe the lack of free time is partly the cause of it. I have loads of gardening plans though!
2) I don't drink coffee. I love the smell but somehow it causes headaches and an upset tummy. For pure tea I only drink Redbush. Oh, and I very seldom drink alcohol. I used to like it but after someone close started to drink way too much, I quit drinking any alcohol for years and now drink rarely. Instead, I drink Waterkefir and Kombucha Tea.
3) Although work wise surrounded by hundreds of people (all my working life from 1974 on) and with a great circle of friends, I am in private life a bit of a Hermit. A modern one with a mobile, car and internet connection but preferable living in the middle of no-where, where I do not need to see the lights of neighbours. I have done that for a while and I would love to live like that again.
4) I hate cigarette smoke. At the age of 12 I tried less then half a cigarette and disliked smoking immediately. I never ever tried a cigarette again. You won't see me around in smoky places and at my front door is a little sticker which kindly requests you not to smoke in my house (let alone in my car!!!)
5) Apart from an allergy for pork, I don't have any other. In my teens I have done an extensive allergy test. Sitting for hours in the waiting room of the doctor with cotton sticks in my ears and nose, injections at my back, scratches at my back and arms…. You name it. I had them all and absolutely none, gave a reaction. I bet you did not know I am that fortunate!!!
Now I have shared my five not so widely known facts, I tag Jean, Tamas, Joerg, David and Sebastian.
Of course they are free to join or to ignore

Subsubsection: 3 December 2014 (the Bloody Brothers at the Pool of London)
Subsection: The Forever City
Subsubsection: 15 January 2015 (the Signal Fire and fighting cybergoons)
18 December 2014 (Amsterdam, Bruxelles, and the Orient Express)
The team goes ashore in Amsterdam, and Thorfin makes arrangements to transfer some of their money from Atlanta (via a banker who apparently thinks they're drug dealers but doesn't really care all that much); this takes some hours. They book tickets for the Orient Express, and a hotel in Brussels for the night.
They take a local train to Brussels, and spend the evening acquiring a pistol for Steven. The next morning, they shop, or at least Diamond and Steven shop, for suitably fashionable clothes; Thorfin plans to wear his armour, and David doesn't really care. They also buy a hard aluminium case large enough to hold, say, a chalice, and the cheapest chalice they can find at a religious supplies shop; Steven locks the chalice in the case and passes the key to Thorfin to look after.
Steven takes a look round Bruxelles-Midi (Brussel-Zuid) on his own. There's no sign of especially heavy security, as one might expect if a cyber-Cardinal were travelling officially. There are quite a few people about apart from the usual local travellers: a group of Japanese tourists, photographing everything; a group of small children on some sort of school trip; a fat Aylish man in robes, probably a merchant of some sort judging by his extensive baggage; a priest, sitting along on a bench reading a missal; two Indian men with shaved heads talking to each other.
Steven has been briefed by David on the typical arrogant behaviour of cyberpriests; one of the children strays a little too close to him, and he looks up and says something quietly, but doesn't put on the full social-dominance display that one might expect.
The others arrive by taxi, and get photographed by the tourists along with everything else. Steven feels suspicious, so he arranges to knock over a luggage barrow while keeping an eye on them; one of them spins round quickly in a way that suggests he's more than just your typical salaryman, then does his best to cover up.
The team goes to board the Orient Express, which is diesel-hauled, with its own dedicated platform and gate. There's some concern when the ticket inspectors insist that no weapons are allowed, and they'll have to search both the luggage and the passengers; in spite of David's advice, they locate Steven's and Diamond's pistols, and lock them (along with Steven's rifle from the baggage) into strongboxes that will go in the baggage car. Thorfin doesn't even try to hang on to his various mining tools, but David is able to slide his pistol past their notice.
The team has a suite near the front of the rear sleeping car, right next to the bar/lounge car. Steven heads for the bar to order a vodka martini (shaken, not stirred); the bartender has clearly seen this before.
Further down the sleeper, the rest of the group spot a priest and a nun arguing in low voices, and in a language they can't make out. The Ayslish merchant joins them and is rather louder, and they catch the words "Signal Fire". After further discussion, the priest and nun invite the merchant into their compartment.
Steven gets back and listens outside the priest's compartment door. There's clearly money being exchanged, and the merchant says that the Signal Fire is a large and impressive gem, hidden in the freezer in the service car. "I'd take it myself, but these fingers aren't what they once were." The merchant is clearly about to leave, so Steven retreats.
In the bar, Diamond has been buttonholed by a couple of American tourists ("are you really from the Nile Empire?"), who proceed to complain about the weather, their accommodation, the service, the drinks, the lack of a baseball season (the Commissioner is still deciding whether edeinos should be allowed to play), and the poor performance of the Dodgers in the games that
been played. Steven arrives just as the bell is rung for the first sitting of lunch, and takes her with him.
While they're dining, the priest passes through the car. Steven follows him carefully, staying out of sight. He passes through the service car, which seems mostly to consist of food storage, looking at labels as he goes. He moves out of sight round a corner, and Steven gets ready to ambush him as he comes back; instead there's a hiss and a thud.
The priest's body is lying on the floor outside a padlocked door labelled CONGÉLATEUR. Steven checks: there's nobody in the passageway ahead, and no sign of anyone else about. He checks the body; the priest's unconscious, with a scraped wound on his neck, and not carrying anything except a (non-cyber) crucifix and a Beretta 92.
As Steven's considering, there's a hiss, and a rod telescopes out of the freezer door, aimed at his neck. He evades it, and drags the priest away a little, propping him against a storage bin and reviving him by splashing Evian in his face (it's closer than a tap). The priest is somewhat cagy, believing at first that Steven is working for the Cyberpapacy, but after some discussion (and the arrival of Thorfin wondering what Steven's up to) he comes a little more clean: he's with the Институт психических исследований, IPI). (Thorfin at least has heard the rumours that the IPI was able to repel a cosm during the initial invasion.) He's after the Signal Fire because, as a probable eternity shard, it needs to be kept out of the hands of the Cyberpapacy; he's grudgingly willing to go along with the group's plan to make other use of it.

Geneon distributing Uni pics in Japan
EmptyTOKYO -- Geneon Entertainment will distribute Universal Pictures' new DVD releases in Japan, the two companies announced Thursday.
The first release under the new arrangement will be "The Bourne Ultimatum," scheduled for March.
However, Universal Pictures Japan will continue to distribute all DVDs from the back catalog and television productions of Universal Pictures International Entertainment, including "Heroes," which is to debut on J:COM's Superdrama cable channel in October.
UPJ, under managing director Ghen Akiyama, will also continue to be responsible for the manufacturing and marketing of all DVDs.
"We are very honored to handle the distribution of Universal's DVDs in Japan and are fully committed to their successful release," Geneon president and CEO Sumio Kiga said.
"This deal will help us secure stronger and wider distribution in a very competitive Japanese marketplace and will complement our theatrical distribution deal with Toho-Towa," UPIE president Eddie Cunningham said.
Geneon is a leading distributor of music and video content, including anime, Japanese and Hollywood films. It is part of the Dentsu group, Japan's advertising powerhouse.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the process began earlier this year, after director Zack Snyder had finished working on Man of Steel with producer Christopher Nolan. Snyder and the studio already had ideas for a follow-up, and Snyder reached out to Affleck to check the star's interest.
It's unclear when exactly these talks began. Multiple sources say the studio approached other actors as well, including Josh Brolin. Ryan Gosling was also a possibility, but the actor dislikes the idea of sequels.
But Affleck was curious, and initial talks focusing on story and character began. Once Affleck was satisfied, WME's Patrick Whitesell and Ziffren Brittenham's Sam Fischer began negotiating his role in the Superman sequel. Sources say that Affleck has been signed for multiple movies, should sequels continue to proliferate. The talks were so secretive that many Warners execs and most WME agents remained unaware of their existence."Superman Vs. Batman" is scheduled to hit theaters on 17 July 2015.

July 5, 2016 Update
Main Content
To the Campus Community,
Following last week's welcome agreement in Springfield on a stopgap spending plan, I want to update you on the status of our budget.
We just concluded a difficult fiscal year, and the year ahead looks challenging as well. However, I am proud that we have maintained our core programs and services for students.
As you may recall, in April we received $29.26 million in stopgap funding during fiscal year 2016 – roughly a third of our anticipated state appropriation. To help us get through the year, we made $13.6 million in one-time and permanent reductions to our state budget, severely limiting hiring and other spending.
The temporary state budget approved last week provides the university with $54 million, plus $5.3 million to cover spring 2016 MAP grants. (Please see today's announcement by SIU President Randy Dunn regarding fall 2016 MAP grants.)
Added to the previous stopgap funding, our state appropriation totals $83.29 million. That is 82 percent of the $101.58 million we anticipated based on the last year of full funding, which was fiscal year 2015.
Another way to look at this is that based on the $101.58 million appropriation, full funding for last fiscal year and the new fiscal year would have totaled $203.17 million. When you add the two stopgap appropriations together, we will have received 41 percent of our anticipated state revenue over the two-year period.
We certainly appreciate the bi-partisan effort among our elected state officials that resulted in the partial budget. And while we have managed our finances carefully, we continue to face significant challenges.
For the last several months, units across campus have been planning for a potential reduction in our state appropriation for the new fiscal year as well as an anticipated enrollment decline in the fall. Overall, we are making permanent reductions of 10 percent to our accounts that are funded by a combination of state appropriation and tuition revenue. We are basing the 10 percent off of the final budget for fiscal year 2015, since there was no budget for last fiscal year to use as a starting point for the reduction.
Overall, this means that we have looked across campus for $21 million in permanent savings. Each vice chancellor was asked to plan for at least a 10 percent reduction for his or her area, although they had discretion about how to make the reductions. This means that some units, such as academic affairs, may have been asked to cut less than 10 percent, and others, such as athletics, more.
As you might imagine, this was a challenging task given the already lean budgets in place after years of reductions, and I appreciate the significant effort. The outcome protects most positions and academic programs. However, the positions of two Civil Service employees were identified for layoff, and five continuing non-tenure-track faculty members received layoff notices. Additionally, roughly 10 non-tenure-track faculty who were on term appointments for the 2015-16 academic year will not have their appointments renewed for the next academic year. About a dozen non-tenure-track faculty will have term appointments in the 2016-17 academic year that are at a lower percentage time status as compared to their appointment in the last academic year. In addition, a total of 155 positions – 45 faculty lines and 110 staff lines -- remain unfilled.
There continues to be some uncertainty regarding state-funded grants, meaning there could be additional impacts. For example, 49 pre-school teachers in the Southern Region Early Childhood program received layoff notices. If, as we expect based on last week's legislative action, that state grant is renewed, the layoff notices will be rescinded.
Nearly $10 million of the total budget reduction is the result of the elimination of vacant faculty and staff positions and 125 half-time graduate assistant positions funded from state accounts, as well as the previously mentioned layoffs and non-renewals. In many cases, colleges have been able to avoid cancelling courses by reconfiguring teaching assignments, consolidating sections of courses that were under-enrolled, or by combining sections if appropriate.
Examples of other budget reductions include: $385,000 for library materials, $300,000 for undergraduate research, $500,000 for research centers, and $1.1 million for deferred maintenance – which will slow down needed improvements to academic buildings.
Reductions, by area, to state accounts:
- Chancellor: $638,168, or 10.15 percent of final fiscal year 2015 budget
- Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs: $13 million, 9.23 percent
- Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance: $3.37 million, 10 percent
- Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs: $240,043, 10.64 percent
- Vice Chancellor for Research: $580,737, 11.59 percent
- Vice Chancellor for Development and Alumni Relations: $349,649, 13.11 percent
- Intercollegiate Athletics: $195,515, 12.6 percent
- School of Law: $305,000, 10 percent
- Economic Development: $64,437, 12.87 percent
- Campus-wide Allocations (includes such items as debt service, liability insurance and reserves): $2.2 million, 15.93 percent
We cannot assume that this is the end of our need to retrench, as the state will continue to face budget challenges ahead. Informal discussions regarding creative long-term solutions, such as strategic consolidations of programs and academic units, are underway. I also applaud my colleagues in the Faculty Senate and Graduate Council, who, through the Joint Task Force on Academic Prioritization, are finalizing a report on program prioritization.
I look forward to thoughtful dialogue with the campus community as we work together to develop strategies for future success. My goal is to work collaboratively with faculty, staff and students to build a pathway to a future we can be proud of, while recognizing that we must continue to generate fiscal savings and to operate as efficiently as we can.
Thanks to your hard work and dedication, we will continue to serve our students, region and state for many years to come.
Brad Colwell
Interim Chancellor

Responsible tourism
Responsible tourism: Zambia safari vacation, Xmas & New Year
EnvironmentOperating lodges and camps in protected ecosystems in Africa alongside local indigenous communities and wildlife comes with a great deal of responsibility.
We work together with community development, wildlife conservation and responsible tourism specialists to ensure that we operate in accordance with these principles. We are guided by our Responsible Tourism Policy along with annually prepared responsible tourism plans that detail all of our activities.
In recognition of our commitment to responsible tourism, Robin Pope Safaris RPS) has won prestigious international awards including Responsible Tourism Award Joint Overall Winner in 2011, making us the ultimate winner across all 13 award categories.
RPS is over time introducing the latest green technologies into all of our properties. This includes solar energy systems for providing power, solar water heaters for guest showers and the use of green design construction principles including living grass roofs, natural air cooling and the use of non-fired bricks. The benefits are clear - our outlet of CO2 to the ozone layer is significantly reduced, along with our use of firewood and the resulting contribution to deforestation.
The conservation of water is of critical importance in the environments we operate, where many local people do not have ready access to safe, clean drinking water and droughts are commonplace. We conserve water through regular maintenance to reduce leakages, fitting flow restrictors on showerheads and taps where possible, watering our gardens and grass roofs at cooler times of the day, planting only drought resistant native plants where landscaping is necessary, and implementing a guest towel re-use and water conservation programme.
CommunityRPS has, for over 20 years, been committed to ensuring that our neighbouring local communities benefit from our presence through grass roots sustainable community development initiatives. We understand the interdependence between local communities and the wildlife and natural resources that tourism depends upon. As we operate in rural areas that lack other development opportunities, we are in a great position to impact positively on local people's lives. Our commitment to poverty reduction interventions has been recognised through the winning of international responsible tourism awards.
RPS believes that investing in education provision in the local community is one of the best contributions we can make to our neighbours. Education is key to ending the cycle of poverty in rural African communities. Our Kawaza School Fund has become one of the biggest success stories in the Luangwa Valley, and has inspired both guests and other safari operators in the area to work together to change lives through improved education provision. It has not only improved the standards of school buildings in the area, but also access to educational materials. This fund, amongst other things, has enabled children to benefit from smaller class sizes and more classroom time with qualified teachers.
We purchase as many locally available supplies as possible to stimulate local trade. In Malawi the majority of our rice and fish is purchased from neighbouring communities and in Zambia 80% of our vegetables from local farmers. In this way we secure the freshest ingredients for our guests and at the same time support local enterprises and producers. We also contract local craftsmen for new buildings and in the refurbishment of our existing properties and support local artisans by selling their wares in our gift shops and for furnishing our properties. We take our safari guests in Zambia for a behind-the-scenes visit to the largest employer in the area, Tribal Textiles, where they are able to purchase a variety of hand-made textile products.
In order to support us as their trade partner, photographs have been provided by Robin Pope Safaris.

Prejudice hits Hispanics most, poll suggests
Attention to topic intensifies with new Arizona law
- |
WASHINGTON — Who's discriminated against in America? More people say Hispanics than blacks or women — and it's far from just Hispanics who feel that way.
In an Associated Press-Univision Poll, 61 percent of people overall said Hispanics face significant discrimination, compared with 52 percent who said blacks do and 50 percent who said women.
The survey also underscored how perceptions of prejudice can vary by ethnicity. While 81 percent of Latinos said Hispanics confront a lot or some discrimination, a smaller but still substantial 59 percent of non-Hispanics said so.
It is not unusual for members of a group to feel they face more prejudice. In this survey, that was especially true when people were asked about "a lot'' of discrimination. Fifty-five percent of Hispanics but only 24 percent of non-Hispanics said Hispanics encounter that.
"I see it in people's faces, in the way they react,'' said Raymond Angulo, 66, a Mexican-born US citizen and retiree from Pico Rivera, Calif. "It's gotten somewhat better, but it's still there. I feel like it's never going away.''
However, Jason Welty, a lawn care specialist in Indianapolis who is not Hispanic, said he has seen little evidence of the problem despite working frequently with Hispanics.
"They're treated by most of our clients and the people we work with just like anybody else,'' said Welty, 30.
The AP-Univision Poll compiled the views of 901 Hispanics, which were compared with the results of a separate AP-GfK survey of the general population.
Attention on whether Latinos are singled out for unfair treatment has intensified since last month, when Arizona enacted a law requiring local police to ascertain the citizenship of people they stop for committing a crime, and subsequently suspect of being in the country illegally.
President Obama called the statute "misdirected'' Wednesday at a joint news conference with President Felipe Calderón of Mexico, and he said the Justice Department will soon complete a review of whether it violates civil rights laws. But others have rallied behind the statute as a needed step with an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States.
About 40 percent of the Hispanics in the survey said they had experienced much discrimination personally — including 13 percent who said they had dealt with it a lot.
"I was discriminated against, 'You're just a dumb Mexican,' '' said Ric J. Romero, 56, a retiree in Albuquerque, who said he traces his family's origins to Spain, not Mexico. "Yes, there is still very heavy discrimination.''
But Sabino Infante, 62, a college admissions counselor from Hesperia, Calif., said he has never experienced the problem. Infante, who is originally from Mexico, attributed the higher perceptions of prejudice by Hispanics than non-Hispanics to some people having "a chip on their shoulder, an attitude.''
Among Hispanics, women are more likely than men to say Latinos suffer discrimination. In addition, Hispanics from cities and rural areas are more likely than those from the suburbs to say Latinos face a lot of prejudice.
Matilde Martinez, 59, a Puerto Rican-born New Yorker, said she believes Mexican immigrants face much mistreatment.
"It causes me a lot of pain,'' she said in an interview conducted in Spanish. "These people come to work and they do work that the Americans won't do for the little pay they get.''
There also are partisan differences. Fifty-five percent of Hispanic Democrats and 38 percent of Hispanic Republicans say there is a lot of discrimination against Hispanics, and Hispanic Democrats are more likely than those in the GOP to say they have personally been affected.
Hispanics in the poll perceived discrimination against other groups a bit more often than non-Hispanics did.
Fifty-seven percent of Latinos and 50 percent of non-Hispanics said blacks are discriminated against. Fifty-eight percent of Hispanics and 48 percent of others said they had observed discrimination against women.
The AP-Univision Poll was conducted by GfK Roper Public Affairs & Media from May 7-12. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 901 Hispanic adults and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 5.3 percentage points.
The findings were compared to with a separate AP-GfK poll of 1,002 adults from the general population, also by GfK Roper.

SURELY THERE'S AN AMERICAN WOMAN LEADER WHO WON'T SUBJECT ME TO SUCH A GOOEY SQUISHY MOTHER-DAUGHTER-MOTHER FOUR HOURS! Is she running for Secretary of Women's and Children;s Affairs or is she running for President of the United States of America? I wish some of the sweetness and love that gushed from speaker after speaker last night could have rubbed off on Hillary's personality. Her eyes flashed not with brilliance but with anger. That is, when she wasn't smiling a girlish self-satisfied smile.
And why does she have to "fight" for this or that program? Can't she just get the job done without having so much anger ?
I have strong feelings about her inadequacy as my great-aunt was #CarrieChapmanCatt, the woman who at the turn of the last century went from State to State convincing the legislators–all men–that the women deserved to be able to vote. Have you heard of the "bloomer girls"? Under Aunt Carrie's leadership hundreds of women marched up Fifth Avenue in New
Carrie Chapman Catt in her 90's when I knew her.
York and other cities. Among other achievements, she founded the #LeagueofWomenVoters.
She achieved the impossible whereas today's women can't even get equal pay for equal work. She told me that the secret was to focus on the one most important thing–in her case, the vote–and not try to accomplish other things at the same time. But some years ago when women were burning their bras to establish I don't know what, a "woman" had to be anti-Viet Nam War, pro-abortion, anti Republican, and wear no bra. Females who didn't follow this pattern were not considered to be "women." How stupid. (We still don't have equal pay except in some cases, such as the Trump corporation employees.)
I have Aunt Carrie's cookbook; one day maybe I'll post some of the "Suffragette Recipes."
Aunt Carrie — how you would have cringed at the inappropriate theme of Hillary's Convention. Just give me love, love, love, and fire Donald Trump. That's supposed to be a real leader's plans for her nomination the Presidency.She would be wiped out in a minute by Angela or Golda or Maggie. Americans must do better in 2020.

Question about HP Compaq Presario Media Center SR1750NX (EL445AA) PC Desktop
Posted by BlackLewis on
Hi BlackLewis, try windows update before trying another re-install. Windows will see that you are missing drivers for some of your hardware. You'll have to check & add them to your download.
Also go to Compaq & install what your missing first from this link. Not much here.
Than try going through this link:
You do not have to do a full system restore with the recovery CD's. You have the option to just re-install windows / repair.
Your personal data should still be intact.
You also have a DVD-RW writer in that Presario SR1750NX & can back up your personal data just in case.
The most likley folders to back up are:
User Name\My Documents
User Name\Favorites
User name\ Application Data\Identities
User name\ Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book
User name\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities
You can copy these floders back to a reinstalled OS.
You will still have to reinstall othe programs like printer software & your wife's business software & data.
Good Luck & Best Regards!

Former wirehouse financial advisors who have gone independent say that the jump is worth it, but the landing is easier with the right mindset, preparation for a range of new responsibilities and a willingness to let a client go.
Leasha Flammio-Watson, who left Wells Fargo to join Ameriprise's independent channel in Melbourne, Fla., two years ago, says that other advisors thinking of making a move should know their client relationships inside and out.
"I chose not to take it personally when a client chose to stay behind because I knew that if I had a relationship then the client would either eventually choose to re-engage or at least stay in communication," says Flammio-Watson, who brought over more than 90% of her book of business within the first 90 days.
Transitioning advisors should also be ready for a lot of client meetings to explain the move, advisors say.
"The greatest hurdle for us was explaining why we wanted to go independent and not be with a large firm," says Trey Mahan.
Last month, he left J.P. Morgan with Gregory Snider to form South Texas Wealth Management, which is affiliated with Raymond James Financial Services in New Braunsfel, Texas. The team brought over approximately $141 million in assets under management when it made the move, according to Raymond James.
Mahan says that their clients, mostly retired small-business owners, understood why they wanted to run their own firm.
But part of the process was explaining that "yes, we are an independent firm, but we have the backing of a large firm that can provide us services like cybersecurity and that sort of thing," he says.
Transitioning advisors also need to be ready for many new responsibilities.
"We worked in the bank channel, and you take for granted a lot of things like health insurance or finding a place to rent or doing payroll. I think that scares off a lot of people [from going independent]," Mahan says.
Steve Dudash encountered similar situations when he left Merrill Lynch to become president of IHT Wealth Management, an independent Chicago firm affiliated with LPL Financial.
"For any guy leaving a wirehouse, they need to know that a significant portion of their time will be spent running the business," says Dudash.
But there is a wealth of resources available to help transitioning advisors, from in-house coaches at independent broker-dealers to outside consulting firms, independent advisors say.
Flammio-Watson says that she used Ameriprise coaches to help with areas such as marketing.
For former Merrill Lynch advisor Jay Ezzell, going independent meant adopting an identity for his three-advisor team.
"Coming out of a wirehouse you already have a story told for you," Ezzell says, who went independent as the Ezzell-Conklin Group in Folsom, Calif., with HighTower last year.
Of course, each transition is unique, and advisors are bound to hit a few bumps, independent advisors say.
"Yes, we had a learning curve, but it was a good learning curve," Dudash says.
This story is part of a 30-day series on going independent.

text: This is just a little rant thread.. to give you good warning I am absolutely fed up right now. My job is supposed to be IM: INTERNET MARKETING. I've been doing this for a fair amount of time and I know that it encompasses many different aspects of varying businesses and skills. For me I'm quite happy to do the following, as I think of it as 'part of the IM package'. These things are: Web Design: You need to be able to write basic HTML, create decent graphics and altogether put a fully functioning website together. Basic Server Configuration: You're going to need to know how to put your site up on your server and also configure a few basic things such as URLRewrite. Content Creation and Copy: You'll need to be able to write great, enticing copy and also write interesting content. Keyword/Competition Analysis: If you can't analyse your competition you're going to have real problems Marketing Strategies: You'll need to be able to devise and carry out marketing strategies that work and take many different aspects into account. For me, that's what I signed up for, that's what I know and that's what I can do very efficiently. Today I spent the ENTIRE day, (which I had planned out to be a marketing software/bots development day) trying to figure out why my catchall mail which is configured using a mail set-up on my VPS has stopped working. You get completely out of the terroritory of 'IM' and straight into the dark dusty corridors of network configuration, systems administration and basically IT which is NOT my job.. Sure I expect to have to configure techincal stuff like this from time to time, but it seems when these kind of things arise, I spend the whole day lurking around IT forums and learning about the most overly complicated mess of systems configuration, ports and other technical jargon which flies straight over my head because the discussions always assume you're an IT professional so it's straight into coded language, abreviations and highly techincal writing. I guess what I'm basically saying is sometimes it feels like you're training for a job in IT when all you're trying to do is set up fucking email so you can get going with your marketing endeavors, which was the whole point in the first place.. What a waste of a day /rant

Chief information officer Deepak Singh was paid £149,500 by HMRC to work three months beyond his leaving date.
Really? And what did he do to earn such a fee when normal businesses cannot get what they're owed from you? you wankers!
Revenue & Customs paid senior official Singh the six figure sum for the period 19 June 2009 to 18 September 2009, accounts filed by the tax office show.
Singh had a three year contract at HMRC earning £160,000 per annum, ending in June last year. However, for three months from 19 June to 18 September, HMRC paid Singh £149,500 through his company Orwell Consulting.
Can I set up Cromwell Consulting and bill you for consultancy on Kittel? you know you need it.
Listed under "Third party payments for services of a senior manager", HMRC's accounts show £149,500 was paid to Orwell Consulting Ltd "for the services of Deepak Singh (a director of that company) who held the position of Acting Chief Information Officer".
You fucking what? Third party payments? Your dumb accountant should know that this term has been outlawed even if 3rd party payments are still legal.
Singh said he informed the tax office of his daily rate and it was "willing" to pay it, according to reports. HMRC's decision to allow Singh to be paid through his consultancy business would have substantially cut the former CIO's tax liabilities. Singh is liable for corporation tax of up to 28%, significantly lower than the higher-rate of income tax of 40%. HMRC is reported as saying it will ensure no tax is avoided as a result of the arrangement.
So what is good for the goose is not good for gander in the dictatorship world of HMRC?
Hypocrytical cunts.

Big Data and The Fourth Industrial Revolution//= $author; ?>
On Monday 19th June 2017
Tagged as DataInnovationNews
Big Data and The Fourth Industrial Revolution
Technology is an accelerant for humanity and we are now entering a new phase, referred to by the world economic forum, entitled "The Fourth Industrial revolution".
1st Industrial Revolution = Steam
2nd Industrial Revolution = Electricity
3rd Industrial Revolution = Computer and Communication technology
4th Industrial Revolution = Digital, Physical & Biological systems.
Technologists predict that by the end of the century 70% of the jobs we are currently doing now will be obsolete. Although this sounds a scary thought, revolution creates evolution and new types of jobs will be created e.g. web developers did not exist 100 years ago.
One of the areas underpinning the fourth industrial revolution is data and it is changing every sector and industry regardless of size.
Big Data Facts
- *2.5 quintillion bytes of data is created every day (equates to 4 trillion books that if stacked would reach the moon and back)
- 90% of the worlds data has been collated in the last 2 years.
- Every minute 300 hours of video is uploaded to You Tube
- There will be 6 billion smartphones by 2020
*Source: IBM (slightly outdated but you get the picture)
Where does it come from?
First of all, data is generated from us via smartphones, laptops and computers:
- Text messages
- Emails,
- Whatapp
- Social media posts (Facebook, Instagram , Twitter etc)
- Videos
- Photos
Secondly, large amounts of data is collected via the Internet of Things (IOT) i.e:
- Sensors
- Machines
- Vehicles
- Trackers / Wearables (Watches, Fitbit etc.)
The term "Big" Data refers to the huge data sets we are all building although the term "Big" is now left out.
What Benefits can we gain from these huge data sets?
- We can make better informed decisions
- We can solve problems
- We can Improve life
- We can Improve performance
As an example; I am a bit of an amateur cyclist, albeit a bad one, although I still have 4 sensors when out cycling:
- Speed Sensor – To tell me how fast I am going
- Cadence Sensor – Calculates the amount of times the pedals go around (Revolutions Per Minute (RPM))
- Heart Rate Monitor – Records beats per minute (BPM) to record how hard I am (actually) working.
- Power Meter – How much power I am generating (watts) (how hard am I pushing the pedals)
All the above sensors work together in line with GPS to log data throughout the entire ride. Once the ride is complete all this data is uploaded to a web based system so I can review the statistics. By reviewing the statistics allows me to know where my weak spots are allowing me to train them effectively (of which there are loads). It sounds complex but by using the data I can make far better decisions than just guessing. I also know how fit (or unfit) I am at all times.
Data Uses by industry
Big data in healthcare is changing the way we identify and treat illness along with improving life and avoiding preventable deaths.
Some of the cool things currently happening:
- Smart nappies – Nappies that send data (from samples collected in the nappy) of special needs babies to a doctor which in turn can predict an infection 24 hours before it materialises.
- Medical Diagnosis – Using IMB Watson to help diagnose illness efficiently. https://www.ibm.com/watson/health/
- Genomics – Predictive analysis to determine the most appropriate treatment on an individual basis.
- Pace makers – Connected to the internet and remotely monitored and analysed.
The day will come whereby you, and emergency services, will be notified prior to a heart attack happening!
"Hi, you are going to be having a heart attack within the next 60 minutes and an ambulance has been called and is on its way to your location. Please sit down and relax"
The way in which we buy and sell things is changing rapidly and retailers are adopting a data first approach whether they are on or offline:
Some of the cool things currently happening:
- Tesco Club card – Using data to encourage shoppers by sending coupons based on shopping habits (nothing new but a highly effective strategy)
- Walmart's Data Café – Walmart has a dedicated data team called the "Data Cafe" whereby any member of the team can go to them with issues i.e. why aren't certain product's selling etc. It is up to the team to provide answers and a solution based on the data.
- Pizza Shops – Using mobile and real-time coupons based on bad weather and power outages (when people are preventing from cooking)
- Social Listening – Monitoring social media to identify trends and reacting accordingly.
Financial services, banking and insurance
Large data sets and algorithms have been used to trade stocks and shares however data is now being used more widely.
Some of the cool things currently happening:
- RBS – Strategy called "Personology" to reconnect with customers and offer a more personal service (just like the good old days)
- Mortgage – A number of players using data to speed up mortgage applications / house buying transactions.
- Fraud detection – Using advanced predictive analysis to prevent credit card fraud
- Individual Insurance – Several players using activity trackers / wearables to monitor and create bespoke insurance products on an individual basis. (WeSavvy)
The way in which we watch TV has changed. Gone are the days of going to the video / DVD shops (they have all but disappeared). We now consume TV on demand with services like Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Netflix. These players have now have also started to make their own programs. How do they know what to make? Data… Everything we do within these services i.e. Search for, play, pause, rewind, stop, skip etc.is analysed and is used to analyse what we like and how we consume. This is how House of Cards was made.
Smart Data
One of my favourite data stories crosses the pond to a family butchers located in North West London. The butchers were established in 1996 and had a good customer base however after a supermarket moved in opposite they noticed a big drop in footfall and subsequently a big drop in revenue. They knew they had quality on their side but found it impossible to compete with the multinational supermarket therefore they had to think smarter. They sought advice which prompted them to put inexpensive sensors in the shop window to measure the amount of people walking past the shop, how many people stopped to look at the window display and how many people came into the shop as a result. Armed with this information, they were able to refine their messaging and shop displays based on what interested customers the most. That's not the best part. One thing that the sensors also picked up was that there was a real increase in footfall at night, due to a couple of pubs located at the top of the road, which pointed to a potentially new revenue stream for the business between the hours of 21:00 to midnight. The butchers therefore decided to trial evening opening hours, serving premium hot dogs and burgers to folk heading home from the pub. The butchers also used Google Trends to see which food items were particularly popular. This led to the creation of their pulled pork burger with chorizo. Now that is a good example of thinking outside the box and a great example of a small company using data.
The above sectors are just a few examples of how data is changing the ways in which organisations are adopting a data first approach.
Our world has sped up and the rate of technology is changing 10 x faster than the industrial revolution. No business or sector will be untouched by the Fourth Industrial Revolution and it is happening as you are reading this article! One thing for sure is that data is a key business asset, central to the success of any organisation large or small.

DALLAS --A mother pleaded guilty to first degree injury to a child after reportedly gluing her 2-year-old daughter's hands to a wall and beating her.
Dallas police said Elizabeth Escalona beat her daughter into a coma after frustration with potty training problems, The Associated Press reported.
"I have no comment and only God can judge me. That's all I gotta say," Escalona said Thursday outside court.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 12 (Reuters) - CalPERS has approximately $5 million in exposure to firearms manufacturers whose guns are banned in California, according to a report released on Tuesday by the biggest U.S. pension fund's investment staff.
The report stemmed from a request for a review of the matter by a board member after a mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
The board member, California State Treasurer Bill Lockyer, is pressing for the fund, the $254 billion California Public Employees' Retirement System, to sell off investments in manufacturers of firearms banned in California, like the assault rifle used in the Newtown school massacre in December.
Lockyer also sits on the board of the California State Teachers' Retirement System, which decided last month to divest its holdings in such manufacturers and to divest from makers of high-capacity ammunition clips illegal in California.
Investment staff at the state employees' pension fund said in their report that the fund's exposure to firearms manufacturers is in publicly traded equity securities and that divestment costs are considered minor.
CalPERS board members will take up the report at its Feb. 19 meeting.

Faculty of Arts
Pacific Languages and World-Views
Please note: this is archived course information from 2012 for PACIFIC 105.
Explores the relationship between Pacific languages and Pacific world-views, and provides illustrations from Samoan and Tongan languages and cultures. First, we ask "what is language?", and "what is meant by world-view?", and some answers, such as those proposed in theoretical linguistics and in anthropology will be explored. Focus will be on the view of language as a conceptual system whose main function is the construction of reality. In this view, the vocabulary of a language is its inventory of conceptual elements that make up its conceptual world or world-view. We examine this as it applies to Samoan and Tongan languages and cultures.
Module One will focus on the cultural meaning and significance of naming (personal and place names). A second module focuses on the languages of arts and crafts, such as the vocabulary of ngatu (barkcloth) and fine mats. A third module will focus on the way social organisation is reflected through language. The fourth module will focus on special language considerations in each of the island groups (eg, Samoan oratory, Tongan honorifics).

Basement Egress Windows Are Safe and Stylish and the Law
Adding a basement egress window (a "way out" in simple English) changes the dynamic of any home. In new construction, it is often a basic element. In most cases, it is retrofit into an older home as part of a basement finishing project. While basement remodeling is often a winter project in Madison WI, spring and summer are better suited to installing basement egress windows. In Wisconsin's climatReadmore

Matthew Roberts said, ''I already knew pi to 20 decimal places; 3.14159265358979323846 but have learnt that pi is a character from the Greek alphabet. The Greeks discovered pi, I did not know this until today. My dad knows pi to 50 decimal places.''.
William Birchall commented,nclThids is ''Today I have learnt the digits of pi to 8 decimal places 3.14159265. We created our own pi characters, then the whole of Year 7 went outside and stood in the formation of the symbol pi.''.
