Hengelo goes Techno
The last years finding skilled and motivated personnel is an ever increasing problem. Less often students choose for the technical professions. To promote the technical studies, Hengelo started a project 'Hengelo goes Techno'.
During this 3-days lasting project, students visited several technical orientated companies in the Metal- en Electrotechnical industry. Electromach was one of the participating companies.

CAMP PENDLETON — Cpl. Conner Wallbillich expects to see lots of kangaroos.
He's most concerned about a concentration of poisonous spiders and snakes that are known to inhabit much of the remote territories of Australia.
"I'll check my sleeping bag every night," the 21-year-old communications specialist said. "It won't interfere with my job, but it's something I'll definitely think about. I know just about every spider there if it stings you, it will hospitalize you."
On Tuesday, April 1, the first of three waves of Marines and sailors of 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment left for a six-month deployment to the Northern Territory in Australia. The deployment – the first-ever battalion deployment to Australia from the West Coast – totals 900 Marines and sailors from Camp Pendleton and 200 Marines attached to four helicopter detachments and combat logistics groups from Hawaii.
Marines and sailors will train with the Australia Defence Force and other international partners. In addition to improving mutual defense capabilities with Australian allies, the Marines also will deploy to nearby countries and participate in multinational security operations or disaster response.
The deployment is part of a U.S. military focus on the Pacific Rim, an area considered to be vitally important and an economic center of gravity, said Lt. Col. Keven Matthews, commander of the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines.
Tuesday's deployment included about 300 Marines and sailors and the battalion command staff. It will be followed by two more waves of deployments of 600 Marines. Marines and sailors will do strategic operations, including live-fire training.
In July, a company of U.S. Marines from Hawaii and Australia's military staged war games across the same area of Australia. Exercises included live-fire training and use of Marine helicopters and MV-22 Ospreys. In August, 1,000 Marines took part in more training.
The U.S. is building up its presence in the Australian Northern Territory in phases. Plans include sending a 2,500-strong Marine Air Ground Task Force to Darwin in six-month rotations each year beginning in 2016. President Barack Obama and former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced the rotational deployments of U.S. Marines to Darwin and Northern Australia in November 2011.
Matthews said his battalion's mission is to deepen defense ties and to build interoperability.
Marines and sailors trained at the Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport — about 60 miles east of Sacramento — in high altitude and at Marine Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms in a 10-month workup to prepare for the deployment. They were also trained in Asian culture, history and politics.
"We're there to learn as much from them as they will learn from us," Matthews said. "The Marine Corps has never left the Pacific, but we're reemphasizing key partnerships and a rotational presence. Our history there goes back to World War II. We're really excited to build partnerships with the Australian Army."
Sgt. Daniel Molina, the communications platoon radio supervisor, knew just how to motivate his Marines. The plan: the Commanche stick, a silver-painted wooden stick that had a skull on top of it. The skull was decorated in feather extensions and fox fur. Molina, 23, crafted it to be used to keep morale high among his Marines.
"Every week, a non-commissioned officer will pick the best Marine in the platoon," Molina said. "The Marine will be the one that has the most squared-away uniform, whose custom and courtesy is good to go and who knows his job best. That Marine gets to be the stick bearer. They take it with them at night and keep it with them all day. If we run, they'll lead the front carrying the stick."
Molina, who has been on deployments to Afghanistan and Okinawa, said he thinks the stick will be something fun to share with the Australians.
"They're similar to us, they're relaxed and cool people," he said. "This is the first time I've been involved in a mission like this. It's good to show the world that after Iraq and Afghanistan Marines are ready to deploy and accomplish every mission, whether it's combat or diplomacy-building."

So I've been on Twitter for a few weeks and gathered some followers and followed people that I think will have something interesting to say - especially regarding SIP and VoIP etc. Yet, I wanted more so... I decided to play with various Twitter clients and apps that have come to my attention over the past few weeks and boy am I loving all this.
Ping.fm (www.ping.fm)
This is great as it allows me to send one message out and Ping.fm will update my status on LinkedIn, Facebook, Delicious and loads more - perfect time saver
Hootsuite (www.hootsuite.com)
This builds on Ping.fm where if I tweet from Hootsuite it will pass onto Ping.fm and onwards from there to my other accounts... Where Hootsuite adds more features (for me) is it has the ability to let me post a message but set a delivery day/time - perfect for spreading out tweets and not driving people crazy with a lot in the space of a few minutes. When it's working, I think you can also link to Googles adsense and earn a few cents (but don't give up the day job). Another top feature is that if you shorten your URLs using their own ow.ly feature, when followers click on the link Hootsuite will gather stats the click. You can then see how popular things you are sending out actually are. Oh, and you can have multiple Twitter accounts all available under one logon.
Twhirl (www.twhirl.com)
I've been using Twirl as my client since starting and love it's simple interface and notification 'pop up' ... it may not be for you but it's worth a try.
Tweetdeck (www.tweetdeck.com)
Heard so much about this app that I needed to try it. Ok, you can organise your Friends, Direct Messages and Group friends together etc but I'm still not convinced - I need to stick with it to see how this pans out. One cool feature is that it connects to Facebook and shows you your friends status updates from there.
Twollo (www.twollo.com)
Great site for finding people that you may like to follow. If you are interest in something like VoIP, then Twollo can either suggest or autoconnect you to people in the directory that have that tag associated with them. A good way to build up the usefulness of Twitter.
And now for the iPhone (via their Apps store) I've been using
Twitterfon - working out great for me, but now downloaded the new Tweetdeck which (once I've managed to logon) I'm sure will be brilliant...
I'll keep you posted on any more Twitter fun I get up to... and if you want to follow me on Twitter - @MrSIP

College students and lonely singles who enjoy rice, but don't want to make a whole bunch can use this Micro Rice Cooker from Japan to make rice for one. The rice washing is still necessary, but this allows you to use the microwave instead of a rice cooker, and comes in a small bowl—perfect for one.
This takes 15 minutes to heat up in the microwave and out comes a bowl of rice. We suppose you could just use a regular rice cooker and put in a tiny bit of rice for the same results, but this seems more gadgety. Available now for $44.

Singer Randy Travis out of surgery, still critical
He underwent surgery to relieve pressure on his brain.
NASHVILLE — Randy Travis' publicist says the country music singer is out of surgery after suffering a stroke in a Texas hospital. He still remains in critical condition.
Publicist Kirt Webster said Wednesday night that Travis, 54, suffered the stroke while he was being treated for congestive heart failure.
Webster said Travis underwent surgery to relieve pressure on his brain.
"His family and friends here with him at the hospital request your prayers and support," Webster's statement said.
Doctors said earlier Wednesday that Travis was in good health until three weeks before he was hospitalized, when he contracted a viral upper respiratory infection.
That information was released via video by physicians William Gray and Michael Mack of the Baylor Health Care System. Before Travis suffered the stroke, Mack said the singer's condition had stabilized "and he has shown signs of improvement."
REPORT: Travis' heart trouble could be life-threatening
MORE: How the booster device works
The Grammy winner, best known for his hits Forever and Ever, Amen and Three Wooden Crosses, was admitted to a Texas hospital Sunday with viral cardiomyopathy, a condition that can lead to heart failure. The cardiomyopathy caused his heart to weaken and enlarge, so it could not pump properly. To assist his heart function, Travis received an IMPELLA peripheral left ventricular assist device.
On Monday, Travis' sister-in-law Teresa Trawick told People.com that his family has a history of heart problems. "(His mother) passed away at an early age with her heart, so it is like these boys are following right in their footsteps," she said.
Travis, who pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while intoxicated in Texas earlier this year, was hospitalized in 2012 after a fight near a church in Plano, Texas.

Kazakhstan and other countries join the active purchase of gold
According to the International Monetary Fund, Kazakhstan has been increasing its gold reserves along two years and lately, this increase has been more noticeable. In January the country held nearly 194 tons, and increased them up to 196 tons, as IMF data by Bloomberg showed.
This movement responded to a reaction to the continuous struggle between Russia and Ukraine and the maintaining of gold reserves of both countries. Russia has the 5th largest gold reserves in the world, the updated figures are 1,207.7 tons; in spite of the recent sanctions, the fall in oil prices and ruble's devaluation, the nation has tripled its reserves for 10 years.
The other party involved, Ukraine, decreased its gold reserves more than 12% in February. Nonetheless the Ukrainian Minister of Finances declared that the money lent by IMF will be used to increase gold reserves as well as to pay the debts of the country.
Regarding neighboring countries, Tajikistan has keep increasing its gold reserves to 9.5 tons from the previous 8.9 tons; and Turkey reduced them for two months in a row, which worries the Central Bank of the fourth country with the largest gold demand.
Central Banks are aware of the importance of this precious metal to protect their respective countries against the current crisis. Since 2010, they changed their trend to sell gold and started holding or buying small quantities.
The relevance of this precious metal is present in the everyday life of Emgoldex clients. For over 5 years they have had the opportunity to buy gold and create a personal gold reserve which increases with the rise in gold prices and ensures financial stability to its owner.
Share this piece of news in your social networks to offer the best opportunity to create a gold reserve!

Executive Director Achim Steiner's Policy Statement to the GC meeting in BaliBali, 24 February 2010 – It was your ambition as ministers responsible for the environment – working through your Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum – that has set the reform direction for UNEP over the past 12 months and indeed the past four years.
It has been the ambition of the secretariat to translate that into developing UNEP as a key entity within the UN system better able to meet your requirements for the challenges of the 21st century.
Today in this policy statement I would like to outline what the UNEP Secretariat has achieved on your behalf in terms of realizing what I have termed the UNEP+ agenda.
This has involved evolving UNEP onto a higher level of performance by better utilizing and focusing the existing mandate and programme of work.
Your ambition of making the environment more relevant and central to policy-making is indeed emerging at the national, as well as at the global and regional level.
I would also like to reflect on the shared ambition for this GC/GMEF here in Bali.
Finally I would like to outline some thoughts on the future as we collectively look to this year's review of the Millennium Development Goals and the first Rio plus 20 preparatory meeting in May 2010 in advance of the conference in 2012 in Brazil.
The next two years may well represent a defining moment for the GC/GMEF and the way it wishes to inform the discourse within the UN's General Assembly.
A defining moment too in terms of the ambition you and the world have for the influence and performance of the environmental pillar of sustainable development.
It was in 2007 that you requested a Medium-Term Strategy (MTS) and in 2008 swiftly authorized its use. As of 1 January 2010 the implementation of the MTS is underway.
This, allied to a review procedure, has formally brought into existence the vision and direction covering this institution's current work programme and cycle.
Let me underline my personal commitment to this direction you have given and the adjustments that are now in train.
The MTS, which runs to 2013, has six cross cutting themes.
- Climate Change
- Disasters and Conflict
- Ecosystem Management
- Environmental Governance
- Harmful substances and hazardous waste
- Resource efficiency – sustainable consumption and production.
It is supported by four evolving pillars upon which the reform of UNEP towards a UNEP+ organization has stood.
- Results Based Management backed by a quality assurance management system
- UNEP within the UN
- The Bali Strategic plan on Technology Support and Capacity Building
- Sound science
Let me touch on all these facets, all of which are interlinked and interwoven, to see where we have collectively reached.
Let me also flesh out some of the key areas where the MTS and the four pillars are finding expression within UNEP and on the ground.
Member states expressed a desire for UNEP to deliver more at the national level and to also work more closely with UN partners and others.
Much of what I have to report underlines how this request is also being taken forward.
The Bali Strategic Plan
- UNEP and the UN Development Programme's (UNDP) Poverty and Environment Initiative is now operating in some 22 countries, up from seven initially.
- UNEP and UNDP's new joint Memorandum of Understanding has identified and agreed on areas for joint programming in climate change.
- UNEP has supported the review and/or preparation of Common Country Assessments/UN Development Assistance Frameworks (CCA/UNDAFs) in 34 countries.
- We are now also part of 15 country-specific Millennium Development Goal Achievement Fund joint programmes.
- UNEP and the UN Industrial Development Organization have established Cleaner Production Centres in 40 plus countries.
- UNEP has also played a lead role in the UN Development Group's (UNDG) "Guidance Note on mainstreaming environmental sustainability in the UNDAFS which was endorsed by UN Development Group in October 2009 – a milestone in UNEP's support towards mainstreaming environment in the work of the UN System.
- UNEP is currently engaged in a similar effort to develop a Guidance Note on integrating climate change considerations in CCA/UNDAFs.
- A Policy and Inter-Agency Affairs Unit has been established to improve coherence of our activities in the UN system and our alignment at the country level.
- With UN partners including the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, we have carried out, are undertaking or are planning to undertake, Post-Conflict Needs Assessments, Post-Disaster Needs Assessments in 8 countries including Haiti, which commenced within 24 hours following the tragic earthquake in January.
UNEP historically has offered support to all developing countries as an Implementing Agency of the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
And via the Multilateral Fund for the implementation of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.
This continues:-
- The OzonAction initiative is now assisting well over 100 countries with a total of 1,000 projects.
- Our current portfolio of GEF-funded activities is just over 480. These are supporting partners in more than 160 countries.
- In terms of overall quality of supervision of UNEP-GEF projects, latest figures show this has risen from 36 per cent to over 70 per cent from 2006 to 2008.
There are similar positive developments across all UNEP's activities.
The 2008/2009 Evaluation Report of UNEP noted that:-
- 95 per cent of UNEP projects are rated as "satisfactory" or above, up from 78 per cent for 2007, for the last biennium.
UNEP is also stepping up its responsiveness to country needs by enhancing the staffing, mandate and resources of its Regional Offices.
During the biennium Regional Offices were allocated additional staf and resources for supporting UNEP's engagement in UNDAFs and UN Delivery as One as well as Multilateral Environmental Agreement (MEA) technical advisors to support MEA activities at regional and country level.
For the current biennium an additional allocation of $4 million has been made to Regional Offices to invest in specific country and regional services to member states.
The EMG – A specific example of UN-wide cooperation
As mentioned, there are flourishing partnerships between UNEP and a widening range of stakeholders.
This is also highlighted through a more reinvigorated, focused and effective vehicle for UN-wide collective action: the Environmental Management Group (EMG) which UNEP hosts and funds.
The EMG is chaired by the UNEP Executive Director and a special focus over the past few years has been on climate change and a lower carbon footprint.
- In 2007, the Secretary-General and the Chief Executives Board decided to move the UN system towards climate neutrality.
The EMG facilitated the first ever inventory of emissions for 49 agencies, funds and programmes.
From 2010 onwards it will coordinate the move towards a common approach on emission reductions backed by strategies and targets for each UN institution.
- In September 2009, the EMG also adopted in addition to sustainable procurement three key agendas for its forthcoming work – Green Economy, biodiversity and land degradation.
Further Key Partnerships – UN and Beyond
UNEP has also being forging partnerships on many other parts of our Programme of Work.
- In December 2009, the total membership of the Climate Neutral Network stood at over 200, ranging from nation states to corporations and mega cities to large-scale music and sport events.
- A partnership on Green Jobs with the International Labour Organization.
- A partnership with the World Trade Organization that in 2009 led to a landmark joint report on climate change and trade.
- The UN-REDD programme (Reduced Emissions from Deforest-ation and forest Degradation) was established in 2008 with a joint secretariat hosted by UNEP; the Food and Agricultural Organization and UNDP.
- Within a few months, UN-REDD fast tracked assistance to nine countries to prepare for REDD projects with more countries requesting support and in the pipeline.
UN-REDD also involves working closely with the World Bank and its Forest Carbon Facility.
Approval for financing REDD was one positive outcome of the UN climate convention summit in Copenhagen.
- 100 countries have set time-lines for cutting sulphur levels in fuels to 50 parts per million under the UNEP Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles – building on its successful phase-out of lead in petrol.
- The "50 by 50″ Global Fuel Economy Initiative – a UNEP; International Energy Agency; FIA Foundation and International Transport Forum partnership to reduce fuel consumption per kilometre of 50% by 2050.
- New partnerships on sports and the environment including with the Indian Premier League for cricket; the Commonwealth Games and the FIFA 2010 World C up in South Africa.
There are many more examples including ones with the UN World Tourism Organization on ecotourism and the Global Mercury Partnership.
For a more comprehensive list please see the UNEP annual report available here at the GC/GMEF.
Sound Science – Sound Climate Policy
Science underpins much of UNEP's activities and has been further cemented by the appointment of the Chief Scientist.
A central role is in early warning and assessment including in respect to climate change.
Part of science's role is to push the knowledge boundaries, pinpoint new directions and illuminate opportunities for action that hitherto may have been overlooked or for which answers are only just emerging.
- In September 2009, we published the Climate Change Science Compendium in advance of the Copenhagen climate meeting.
- In the same month, UNEP published an assessment of the impacts but also the benefits in terms of climate, health and agriculture of tackling non-C02 gases and pollutants.
This in part builds on our work on the Atmospheric Brown Cloud and emerging science on the win wins for the ozone layer but also the climate from phasing-out chemicals such as refrigerants and
fire retardants.
UNEP's work on climate adaptation has also built a strong focus on ecosystems which was also reflected in further consolidating the current state of knowledge and science including their mitigation role.
- On World Environment Day 2009, UNEP and partners published The Natural Fix? report on nature's role in carbon sequestration
It illuminated the carbon stocks and carbon capturing potential linked with forests but also other land-based ecosystems such as peatlands and grasslands.
- Last year UNEP; the UN's Food and Agricultural Organization and UNESCO's International Oceanographic Commission also launched the Blue Carbon report. on the sequestration potential of the marine realm.
It estimates that marine ecosystems, including mangroves, seagrasses and salt marshes may be absorbing pollution equal to half the world's transport emissions.
- A new initiative on Blue Carbon will be announced with the Government of Indonesia this week.
Sound science, also allied to smart economics, is also increasingly defining UNEP's work.
The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB), which UNEP hosts, is bringing to policy-makers a new insight into the field of natural capital.
The data emerging from the TEEB work – an innovative partnership of sponsoring partners and a network of collaborating centres – is groundbreaking.
Two figures that underline its work.
- An additional investment of around $45 billion a year in around 100,000 conservation areas worldwide could secure the $5 trillion-worth of nature-based services while generating millions of new jobs and securing livelihoods for rural and indigenous peoples.
- Coral reefs, whose fishery, tourism and flood protection services are estimated at between $100,000 and $600,000 per square km, could be conserved for an investment of close to $780 per square km or 0.2 per cent of the value of the ecosystem protected.
TEEB, whose final report will be published in late 2010, is ambitious.
But the new level of ambition vested in the Secretariat by you honourable ministers, requires and requests that a UNEP+ takes such studies forward to their logical conclusion i.e. demonstrate and implement.
Over the past 12 months we have embarked on four, initial, high profile ecosystem rehabilitation projects.
These, in collaboration with governments and UN partners, seek to demonstrate the costs and the benefits of restoring ecological infrastructure.
- Kenya's Mau Forest complex – East Africa's largest closed canopy forest and the country's key "water tower" which has lost around 25 per cent of its cover over the past decade or so.
- Lake Faguibine in Mali – a lake upon which an estimated 200,000 people depend that has all but dried up in recent years.
- Haiti – where an ecological restoration project of forests and river systems, allied to renewable energies and other alternatives to biomass, is scheduled to get underway in 2010 after modifications in the light of the recent earthquake.
- Sudan – in collaboration with the UN's Food and Agricultural Organization, three million trees are being planted across three states in Darfur allied to the distribution of 300,000 fuel-efficient stoves.
This is part of a wider post conflict and ecosystems project to assist the governments of north and south Sudan implement the recommendations of UNEP's 2007 Post Conflict Environmental Assessment.
Green Economy
Ecological infrastructure is also a key strand of the Green Economy Initiative – perhaps the most illustrative new project of UNEP+.
It is a very wide partnership indeed that has evolved to embrace governments, economists, non-governmental organizations, research centres, the private sector and UN entities.
The Global Green New Deal/Green Economy Initiative was launched in October 2008 in response to the financial and economic crisis.
It was built on the premise that environmental investments had a big pay back in terms of job creation, meeting multiple challenges including climate change and re-defining wealth generation.
Some highlights-
- February 2009 – Green Economy report issued to inform debate and stimulate action at the 25th Session of the UNEP GC/GMEF: suggests that one third of the then around $2.5 trillion-worth of planned stimulus packages should be invested on "greening" the world economy.
- April 2009 – the Chief Executives Board, chaired by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, issued a communiqué on the global financial and economic crisis – outlining nine joint crisis initiatives, one of which is the Green Economy Initiative which UNEP was requested to lead and facilitate.
- June 2009 – "Green Growth" Declaration adopted by ministers at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) meeting.
- June 2009 – Over 20 UN agencies in a statement, issued at the General Assembly Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis and its Impact on Development, back a transition to a Green Economy.
- September 2009 – UNEP launches its Global Green New Deal update in the run up to the G20 Pittsburgh Summit: an estimated 15 per cent of global stimulus packages are "green" but below the suggested target.
- December 2009 – The UN General Assembly adopts a decision for the Rio plus 20 Summit to include the Green Economy as one of the overarching themes.
The work underlines our committment to bring the environment into the mainstream of policy and economic decision-making and to be more responsive to country needs.
During 2010, UNEP will take its work towards supporting a transition to a low carbon, more resource efficient Green Economy forward.
This work will also guide our scaled-up efforts to support countries in their efforts to address climate change.
Three Flagship Advisory Services for Climate Change Action
- Ecosystem Based Adaptation – this will offer member states services on how best to incorporate ecosystem adaptation into national climate, development and sectoral strategies.
- REDD+ – this will offer member states services on how to incorporate reduced emissions from deforestation and carbon capture and storage from other terrestrial ecosystems in national climate, development and sectoral strategies.
- Clean Tech Readiness – building on an extensive body work on smart market mechanisms and other hurdles to barriers, UNEP will offer member states services on how best to incorporate renewable energies and energy efficient technologies in national climate, development and sectoral strategies.
This work dovetails with new initiatives being carried out in partnership with other strategic partners including the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO); UNDP and the World Bank.
- Technology Needs Assessment – Over 30 countries to be supported through GEF funding in determining their specific low greenhouse gas technology needs: 15 countries have been identified for the first phase, with others coming on board through 2010.
- Green Economy Advisory Services – Over 25 countries or relevant national institutions have requested assistance from UNEP on how to tailor a Green Economy approach to national development strategies.
Together we have achieved a great deal – there are a lot of pluses surrounding UNEP in 2010.
Your confidence in the evolution of this organization is also being matched by funding and financial support.
- In 2006-2007, funding for UNEP was at just under $300 million of which $144 million was for the Environment Fund.
- In 2008-2009 – UNEP GC approved a budget of $381 million with $176 million for the Environment Fund. Actual resources available exceeded half a billion.
- For the biennium 2010-2011, we stand at around $494 million, of which $184 million is Environment Fund funding.
- Overall Environment Fund contributions grew by over 22 per cent and extra-budgetary ones by over 50 per cent between the two biennium.
UNEP+: Not Without Challenges
What haven't we achieved and where might we be moving less swiftly than perhaps you and we would like?
Let me emphasize that incrementally evolving this organization into the realm of results-based management remains a challenge – an intergovernmental institution such as the UN does not lend itself to quick fixes and easy change.
In some specific areas, such as improvements in Information and Communications Technology and corresponding sets of data and analysis for strategic management, we are less far down the path than I had hoped.
The management of human resources – UNEP's primary asset – also remains a challenge.
Capacity and skills development is a precondition for delivering our new results based Programme of Work – this too has taken time.
Human Resources recruitment and management processes also remain a key obstacle to timely and effectively delivery – some of which are beyond our control.
With the reform of the UN Secretariat's contracts system, we have lost the ability of fast tracking recruitment for project funded/extra budgetary posts.
But let me assure you that we are striving to match your ambition with defined and definite results in all areas.
Indeed with your support and guidance it may be fair to note that in terms of the UN system, UNEP is setting a high pace for reform and is continuously exploring innovative approaches to meeting the challenge.
I believe that what we have achieved and what we have learnt can inform other organizations, programmes and funds of the UN in terms of progress and also setbacks.
So this is the past and the present – this is UNEP or UNEP+ in 2010.
It is, as requested, transforming into a results-based organization that is better realizing the Bali Strategic Plan and building its regional capacity to deliver more services to more countries and partners.
It also continues to strengthen its science and normative capacity as evidenced by the number of highly acclaimed scientific reports in 2009, the chemicals and wastes convention synergies process, the launch of a negotiation for a new convention on mercury and the successful work of the International Panel for Sustainable Resource Management to mention but a few.
UNEP+ is today, thanks to the support of your Governments, a far better resourced institution that is pushing new frontiers in sound science; is become more relevant to the climate change challenge and is bringing environmental sustainability to the centre of development and economic policy-making.
IEG: Evolution or Metamorphosis?
However the UNEP+ agenda is by definition an incremental, and ultimately limited response. UNEP in its current configuration, mandate and role will continue to deliver. But disappoint those who look to it as the UN's principal entity to articulate, catalyze and support a multilateral response commensurate with the ever growing challenge, complexity and imperative to act in the face of current and future environmental change scenarios.
A central issue for this GC/GMEF is whether the incremental reform underway continues along this evolutionary path or whether it must be complimented by a more fundamental reform horizon.
This week we have seen further evidence of this incremental progress in respect to the Multilateral Environmental Agreements covering the chemicals and wastes conventions.
The holding of a Simultaneous Extraordinary Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions just before the GC/GMEF signals our joint determination to streamline and harmonize administrative functions and to strengthen the implementation and capacity building efforts of these conventions.
The issue of how best to finance the chemicals agenda is also a key element of our efforts to address the inherent constraints that arise from under resourced mandates and committments.
This and the many UNEP+ examples cited in my policy statement reflect the call for reform and greater effectiveness.
But in 2009 several world leaders have also called for more fundamen-tal reform of the UN's environmental processes and architecture.
What might that mean? Minister Borloo recently described the future of France's environmental policy as not being a choice between evolution or revolution but a metamorphosis.
This is perhaps an intriguing concept in the UN's International Year on Biodiversity given the dictionary definition.
"Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure".
I mention this transformational analogy in the light of the debate we will have here this week – a debate shaped in part by your discussions in Belgrade and Rome last year.
The discussion circling around IEG dates back many years – there has been a persistent concern that the international environment architecture is becoming ever more fragmented and unable to respond to the challenges unfolding.
The Belgrade and Rome meetings, allied to the discussions and debates at previous GC/GMEF's, have put real, concrete and fresh ideas into the reflection about the UN's system of governance.
There has been a long standing and often stalled debate on form following function.
The Rome meeting marked a significant step forward by articulating a clear set of objectives and functions for environmental governance in the UN.
This may well be a unique achievement as ministers resolved to define what is wanted from the UN system as a first step to evolving or re-designing the architecture to deliver it.
This week is the opportunity for furthering that strategic and reform-orientated discourse that you have initiated.
It comes in advance of several central opportunities mentioned earlier in my statement.
- The review of the Millennium Development Goals and how environmental goal 7 relates to the other MDG Goals.
- The General Assembly's decision to convene a Rio plus 20 Summit in 2012.
- The launch of the GEO-5 intergovernmental and multistakeholder process in the preparation of this report by 2012 – making it a key reference document also for Rio plus 20 as well as UNEP's future work.
The GC/GMEF's outcome presents you with the opportunity to articulate the agenda of the environmental pillar of sustainable development and express your views in the UN General Assembly's preparatory process for Rio plus 20 in terms of how you envisage UNEP's participation and contribution.
2010 – A Challenging Year: IPBES and Access and Benefit Sharing
We face a challenging year in 2010.
It is the UN's International Year of Biodiversity and the year in which the world had set itself the target to have reversed the rate of that loss – we know this has not happened.
Before you here in Bali is the question of advancing the process of considering the establishment of an Intergovernmental Panel or Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).
Much effort has been invested in maturing this proposal: I hope you will provide clear guidance as to how this process can be concluded in 2010.
Later this year Japan will host the Convention on Biodiversity's conference of the parties in Nagoya.
Refocusing the international response to biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation is as urgent as it has ever been and will require action on a range of issues.
Let me draw particular attention to the question of an International Regime on Access and Benefit Sharing of Genetic Resources – the missing pillar of the CBD as many have called it.
Since the CBD Conference of the Parties in Bonn two years ago, the negotiations which UNEP has been actively supporting are proceeding with some measure of confidence.
Agreeing an international regime would send a strong and unequivocal signal of ambition for reforming and supporting this convention and its role in sustainable management of natural resources and poverty reduction.
2010 – A Challenging Year: Climate Change
Copenhagen was neither the big breakthrough so many had hoped for nor was it the big breakdown that seemed possible in the final days and hours of the meeting.
Despite a sense of underachievement, Copenhagen did deliver elements that if fully realized point to a new era of global engagement and cooperation on climate change.
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has now received submissions of national pledges from some 58 countries representing close to 80 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions from energy use.
While it is clear that these pledges may not yet deliver the emission reductions needed for the 2 degree C goal, the pathways outlined by pledging nations do mark a significant step forward if implemented.
An equal "if" applies to the "fast start funding" pledges: If the $30 billion commitment of Copenhagen does materialize over the next 36 months, then the Accord would indeed have catalyzed a significant step change.
UNEP will continue to support the Secretary-General, the UNFCCC process and the host country Mexico in the preparations for this Conference of the Parties in December 2010. But we will also fast track UNEP's three climate flagship support programmes listed above to deliver climate action on the ground.
2010 – A Challenging Year: GEF
A key piece in this jigsaw puzzle and another key challenge for 2010 is the replenishment of the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
A challenge in terms of the GEF's future role and the reform agenda – twin issues that also speak to the governance agenda before us this week.
UNEP, as one of the implementing agencies is working with the GEF Council and Secretariat on reform and in support of delivering effective services for member states.
UNEP also hosts the GEF's Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel which has been restructured and strengthened in its engagement with the GEF Council.
But in some respects UNEP is not just one of the implementing agencies. UNEP's GC/GMEF serves as the principal forum through which countries guide the global environmental agenda and review its effectiveness in terms of impacts and results.
The GEF – if focused and committed to the principles of complimentarity and subsidiarity in its role and operations – remains an important funding mechanism and an important resource to support the implementation of your agenda and priorities.
I would thus urge you to consider the replenishment as a win-win opportunity: catalyzing significantly expanded cooperation on global environmental issues while enhancing GEF's capacity to provide innovation and partnerships.
With such an agenda, this year's replenishment of the GEF should be on a scale that is far more ambitious than perhaps it has been in the past.
2010 – A Challenging Year: The Agenda for the Future
The discourse surrounding the environment has never been as animated as it is today: the persistent and emerging challenges are well known and growing.
But over the past few years the GC GMEF has also framed a new dialogue within the UN and among nations.
That dialogue revolves around a fresh approach that broadens the environmental agenda from one focused on challenges to encompassing opportunities – an approach that in part is the Green Economy and at its centre the reality that the world is not powerless in the face of tidal events.
That the environmental programme of the UN is now providing answers of a transformative scale, commensurate with the nature of the challenges and opportunities, is the result of your guidance and support.
That the environmental programme of the UN is not only speaking on reform but acting upon it is also a reflection of your ambition for change at the global and normative but also at the national level.
UNEP or UNEP+ in 2010 has more resources, more competence, capacity and credibility to deliver on the growing expectations and demands of a rapidly evolving environmental agenda.
The next two years will define how far this influence will stretch and how far this process can go in terms of optimizing the way we collectively manage the planet with six billion, soon nine billion people depending upon its natural resource base.
Rio plus 20 could be a defining moment in the way in which we address sustainable development over the coming decades.
The knowledge and perspective of the Ministers responsible for the environmental pillar of sustainable development must therefore be at the centre and not at the margins of the process leading up to 2012.
Here in Bali is perhaps the time to add further momentum to the process begun in Nairobi last year by articulating a more political agenda for addressing the choices to be made.
Choices which ultimately are the responsibility of States, and thus must be negotiated in the broader geopolitical and multilateral context while reflecting the imperative and responsibility to act and pass the test of effective governance.
Thank you to all UNEP staff, governments and other partners for another productive and fruitful year

New Smyrna Beach defensive end Davarez Bryant said Florida State and Iowa State are his top two schools heading into Wednesday's National Signing Day.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH — New Smyrna Beach's Davarez Bryant said he has narrowed his list of top schools to Florida State and Iowa State.
The 6-foot-4, 235-pound defensive end said he would spend his final weekend before Wednesday's National Signing Day on an official visit to Florida State. He said he was visited at school last week by Seminoles defensive line coach Odell Haggins, who made a scholarship offer.
"They said I was really athletic for my size," Bryant said. "For this to be my first year playing, they said I did a lot to open their eyes. They told me I had to get bigger and stronger, but they could see where I had progressed.
"It was crazy, to be honest. It was overwhelming. Only playing one year, and getting an offer to a school like that — in the ACC — is pretty intense."
Bryant did not play organized football until the 2012 season. But he emerged as one of the area's top defenders, tallying 35 tackles — 10 for loss — and four sacks. Along the way, he said he received scholarship offers from Iowa State, Purdue, Kentucky, Louisville, Texas Christian and Cincinnati.
He visited Purdue during the 2012 season and spent last weekend at Iowa State.
"(Iowa State) was cold," Bryant said. "But (the facilities) are brand new. I really liked what they have, and the coaching staff was really nice."
Bryant said he plans to save the announcement of which school he will sign with for Wednesday.
"I am excited," he said. "I know I am ready."

No one has ever been sure of exactly how many people attended the Love Parade music festival in Duisburg, Germany on July 24, 2010. The original estimate was 800,000; police later revised that down to 400,000. Either way, it was far too many: the site could safely accommodate only 250,000.
Officials are completely certain about how many people were injured in the crowd stampede that occurred a few hours into the festival exactly 510. They're certain too of how many died: 21. As with all such crowd mismanagement disasters, investigators were quick to try to assign blame to the police, the event planners, the design of the venue and, of course, the victims themselves. They surely panicked, went collectively mad. That's the nature of a stampede, isn't it?
Now, however, a two-year investigation conducted by complexity researchers Dirk Helbing and Pratik Mukerji of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, has identified an additional, critical culprit in the Duisburg stampede: physics particularly the complex science of fluid dynamics. Their paper, just published online in EPJ Data Science, relies on police reports, planning records, personal accounts and other documentary evidence, as well as a few additional tools that weren't available to crowd-control investigators in the past: YouTube videos, Google Earth maps and 360-degree photography. The disaster, Helbing and Mukerji conclude, was less a result of human error though that was surely at work too than of "amplifying feedbacks and cascading effects, which are typical for systemic instabilities." In other words, they wrote: "Things can go terribly wrong, in spite of no bad intentions from anyone."
For two researchers who take pains to absolve rather than indict the usual suspects in an event like this, Helbing and Mukerji begin with a scathing description of the Love Parade site which was wholly unsuited to the job it was being asked to do. The venue was an old railyard once used for receiving and storing freight. It was bounded by railroad tracks on the east and a freeway on the west which were nearly as good as walls for penning people in. There was only one principal way to enter exit or enter the event site: a deep, high-walled ramp that fed into a long tunnel. A 360-degree photo of the site is included in the paper, and while the German captions make the exact details opaque to an English-speaking audience, the cattle-chute quality of the set-up is unmistakable.
Making things worse, while the ramp and tunnel were 85 ft. (26 m) and 66 ft. (20 m) wide respectively, that was nowhere near enough to accommodate up to half a million people. Crowd-control fences at one point in the tunnel exacerbated things, cutting its width almost in half and creating a dangerous bottleneck. And since the way out of the railyard was the same as the way in, the relatively small stream of people who for various reasons were trying to exit even as the event was beginning became a reverse flow against the much larger river of people trying to enter. That reduced tunnel capacity by up to 14%. By 3:00 PM or three hours after the site opened about 750 people were streaming into the grounds per minute and 250 were leaving. In order for a safe flow rate to have been maintained, there should have been no more than 1.75 people occupying any given square meter of space. Instead, there were up to five.
Once a crowd gets jammed that tightly, a number of behavioral factors come into play. First, a need to flee. "The density, noise and chaos in a ... crowd cause a natural desire to leave," the authors write. This is made worse by the fact that while it's easy to see the general direction a mass of people are moving if you're even a few feet above them, when you're part of the scrum, you're essentially blind. That leads to anxiety which is a short step from fear, which is a very short step from panic.
At 4:02 PM, according to police records, there was a sudden, violent surge in the crowd some of it moving toward a narrow stairway that was one of the few things visible above the sea of heads; at 4:24, people who could not reach the stairs began climbing light poles to escape; at 4:38, the first signs of victims losing consciousness began; at 4:53, the first emergency vehicles arrived, as did helicopters dangling evacuation ropes. Police tried to control the crowd by forming a cordon, but it was quickly breached. The video record of that moment is nothing short of chilling but what you can see on the screen is only part of the story.
Human bodies moving en masse have been compared to fish in a school or molecules in water, but the better analogy is to fine grains in a stream of sand. One body pressing up against another exerts a force, which is added to that second body as it presses up against a third. This leads to a rapid accumulation of weight and energy, which propagates quickly and violently in all directions. "At occupancies of about seven persons per square meter, the crowd becomes almost a fluid mass," the paper explains. "Force chains may form [leading to] an uncontrollable kind of dynamics, which is called crowd turbulence or a crowd quake."
The power of such a human temblor is hard to overstate. Victims can be lifted out of their shoes and their clothing is often torn away. Compression makes breathing difficult a problem exacerbated by the accelerated respiration that comes with panic and while people killed in a stampede are often said to have been crushed to death, what typically kills them is asphyxiation. As more people succumb, they go limp and fall, which leads to a cascade of stumbles and pile-ups. People at the bottom of the resulting heaps may asphyxiate too from the sheer weight of those on top of them.
For all the awful physics behind the Love Parade disaster, Helbing and Mukerji stress that the same fluid dynamics can be used to prevent similar tragedies in the future. Ample check valves in the form of multiple exits need to be built into crowd control corridors to relieve pressure in the same way it's relieved in a steam pipe. Density must be limited to a predetermined number of people per square meter, which reduces the propagation of forces from one body to the next. Crowds moving in different directions should never be permitted to collide or intersect. Just as traffic circles can make merging with or exiting a stream of cars easier, so too can circularizing foot traffic prevent collisions and gridlock.
And in case civic planners and event coordinators consider all this too difficult, Helbing and Mukerji include a helpful example of a venue they believe was perfectly designed to handle the modern physics of crowd control: the Roman Coliseum, constructed a cool 2,000 years ago. With its seating capacity of 73,000 and its 76 exits built completely around its base, it could be evacuated in as little as five minutes. No modern stadium even ones with just half the seating capacity has yet matched that feat. Until all such mass venues can, we will always be at risk of another Love Parade.

The gilt-covered woodland scene that frames the salon's marble mantelpiece is reminiscent of the work of muralist Josep Maria Sert, Chanel's close friend.
The Paris apartment of Coco Chanel,
the legendary designer who redefined
20th-century couture, remains as grand
and iconic as the woman herself.
Chanel's private apartment at 31 rue
Cambon rests above the company's
flagship Paris boutique.
stairway to heaven
Above the bustling Chanel boutique and corporate headquarters at 31 rue Cambon, the private Paris apartment of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel has remained faithfully preserved since her death in 1971. Today, visitors still climb the mirrored, spiral staircase on which she famously debuted her couture collections, and pass through a pair of unmarked double doors into an elaborately furnished residence that seems as timeless and tailored as one of the designer's iconic fashions.
haute house
At the center of the salon—the three-room apartment's largest and most lavish space—sits Chanel's oversize beige suede sofa, designed for seduction and lingering conversation. Among the chamber's many treasures are a pair of bronze deer, which once belonged to the Marchesa Luisa Casati, and a table shaped to resemble a sheaf of wheat (a symbol of good luck and prosperity), crafted by close friend Salvador Dalí.
During her fashion shows, Chanel used to conceal herself from the audience by sitting on the fifth step of this mirrored stair.
Six suede-upholstered chairs surround the dining room's walnut table. Symmetrical alcoves showcase a pair of crystal-encrusted gilt Venetian mirrors.
store-top sanctuary
In the dining room, a crystal chandelier (featuring an intricate motif of Cs and 5s) is suspended from a curved ceiling, while in the apartment's tiny study, a pair of Venetian blackamoors stands at attention beside one of Mademoiselle's original work chairs. Throughout, Coromandel screens and gilt-framed mirrors line the apartment's walls, reflecting and concealing its doorways and contributing to the intimate space's sense of grandeur. Although the apartment possesses no actual bedroom—Chanel slept in a suite at the Ritz across the street—the space, brimming with mementos and collections, was her true home and sanctuary.
Chanel believed in the power of lucky charms; her home is filled with resonant images of lions (she was a Leo), sheaves of wheat, and, of course, her famous intertwined initials.
The designer was an avid collector of Coromandel screens, which she used to panel her walls and frame her doorways.
Throughout her home, Chanel employed mirrors—such as this ornate Venetian beauty—to create an atmosphere of mystery and romance.
This ornate gilt clock features an angel of death wielding a scythe, a workaholic's terrifying reminder of the shortness of time.

EnterPlicity necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
A little bit about us...we develop a project management software system for the mid-market called EnterPlicity. By "mid-market", we mean a system with more functionality than a low-end system (such as Basecamp), but without the complexities, cost, and implementation times of high-end systems.
EnterPlicity is built with a great deal of flexibility, hence the phrase "Share Everything." Literally, an organization can define its screens, reports, dashboards, which features it will use, data tables, etc. There is a lot of built-in flexibility.
We like to engage with our prospective clients to learn their needs, processes, objectives, and problems so that together we can use EnterPlicity as a platform to solve those problems and meet their objectives.
Our website provides a good overview of the capabilities of EnterPlicity. http://www.teaminteractions.com.
Our central themes are listed on the website - namely the ability to share everything, and the ability for mid-market companies to do four functions well - extend project management tools to everyone, share project information with anyone, automate key processes, and analyze data.
This project is to design a single page advertisement that will appear in Enterprise Technology Magazine.
This print ad will be displayed in Enterprise Technology Magazine - http://www.globaletm.com. Hence, the target audience is IT - IT Managers, Directors, and CIO's. These are IT folks who will either have a need for project management software for their own IT projects, or for non-IT users in their organization.
There are two objectives and two messages we have for this ad as follows. The objectives are to develop name recognition and to produce visitors to our website.
Prospective clients usually need to implement more than one system to do the four things that EnterPlicity can do in one (see website) - at least not without breaking the bank. Many clients are currently struggling with existing tools that do not fit the bill (such as spreadsheets). So a primary benefit is the ability to easily do all of these things in one system.
That gets into the two messages that we would like to get across in the ad: first, about using EnterPlicity as a very flexible solution to do all these things in one system, and second, we would like to interject the fact that EnterPlicity can be used with Sharepoint. Many companies already have and use Sharepoint. So for example, "here is a complete project information system where you can share everything about your projects in one system - EnterPlicity", "or you cannot intertwine EnterPlicity with your Sharepoint installation to share all of your project management specific information within your Sharepoint portal."
There needs to be a clear call to action - aka visit this website. We may have a custom url specifically for the ad.
We are open to creativity.

Yosemite Crowding
(before 2003)
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Yosemite is a national park in California. It is very beautiful and big. The park includes more than 760,000 acres in the California mountains. Most of the park is wilderness.
The part of Yosemite that everyone likes is Yosemite Valley. It is a tiny valley that is 7 miles long and less than 1 mile wide. It has tall rock walls and streams that splash down in waterfalls. More than two million visitors come to the valley each year.
One ranger says the number of visitors is more than the land can handle. The valley has 4,500 camping spots. It has a hotel that can hold 4,000 families. This is still not enough to handle all of the visitors. The valley has grown so big it has a lot of traffic and crime.
A worker says the park is trying to keep the beauty of the park and let everyone visit. Some areas have been fenced off from people and planted with seeds to try to keep them beautiful.
A former worker thinks Yosemite should get more money to take better care of the park. He would also like to teach people what the park service is trying to do.
Some people are trying to save Yosemite Valley. A plan has been made that will get rid of some buildings. There will be fewer cars allowed inside the park. More buses will help get people around.

I distract myself with orts and scraps of fabric to the haunting tones of Princess Bunchy's flute.
And for my special friend in the north who complains about my lack of posts, here are some pretty pictures especially for you, my dear.
Well, as pretty as I can make them in this grey-white light ...
And there's another quilt to bind,
a sock to knit,
and a rather nifty pattern for an Idea Pouch to play with. Ideas always come in useful, especially when one is feeling rather Sunday afternoonish.
In such a time of change, I am glad that I have so many things to stitch, and boats bobbing alongside, and books about soil to study, and deadlines to meet.
Hoping that your Sunday is full of Ideas, too.

Mac OS X 10.7 Lion is now available to download through the Mac App Store. You won't find Lion on the front page of the Mac App Store, though, but you can locate it by using the search function.
Apple finally unveiled its long-awaited update to the Mac OS after chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer let slip that it would launch today in last night's third-quarter financial earnings call.
"Lion is the best version of OS X yet, and we're thrilled that users around the world can download it starting today," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.
"Lion makes upgrading a Mac easier than ever before; just launch the Mac App Store, buy Lion with your iTunes account, and the download and install process will begin automatically."
There are a whole host of new features in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, including support for new Multi-Touch gestures such as momentum scrolling, tapping or pinching your fingers to zoom in on a web page or image, and swiping left or right to turn a page or switch between full screen apps.
There is support for full screen apps, meaning you can swipe from one window to another, between full screen apps, or back to your Desktop, Dashboard or Spaces without ever leaving full screen.
Also new to Lion is Mission Control, which provides and overview of everything running on your Mac, combining Exposé, full screen apps, Dashboard and Spaces into one unified experience.
The Mac App Store will be built in to the OS; Launchpad, a new home for all your apps where a single Multi-Touch gesture presents all your Mac apps in a full screen layout, is another new feature and there is a completely redesigned Mail app.
The new Conversations feature groups related messages into an scrollable timeline, hiding repeated text so the conversation is easy to follow, and retaining graphics and attachments as they were originally sent.
Lion costs £20.99 and is only available through the Mac App Store on Macs running OS X 10.6.6 or higher. It is a 4GB download.
Download only OS X Lion 'will hurt retailers'
You'll need a Mac with a dual- or quad-core Intel processor, such as the Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 and Xeon to run Lion. Like Snow Leopard , Lion won't run on the PowerPC architecture that Apple abandoned in early 2006 when it started the switch to Intel CPUs. 2GB of RAM is also a minumum.
If you bought a Mac after 6 June you will be eligible for a free upgrade to Mac OS X Lion 10.7. Mac OS X Lion Server requires Lion and is also available in the Mac App Store for £34.99.
