A Confident Heart Chapter 1: Are you ready to take God's hand and trust His heart?
Day 2: Beat Up or Built Up
Food for thought: The LORD turned to him and said, "Go in the strength you have .… Am I not sending you?" (Judges 6:14 NIV)
On Day 3 Renee beings by asking, "Maybe you've sensed God leading you to participate in a ministry, but doubt has convinced you that you're not smart enough or gifted enough. Perhaps you wanted to have kids, and now you have a family but you doubt you really have what it takes to be a good mom. Or maybe you've wanted to change jobs and now have the opportunity to do just that. But you don't want to go because you're afraid of failing at something new.
Then she turns to a story in the bible about Gideon, from Judges chapter 6. His doubts and insecurities told him that he wasn't anointed, God didn't call him, there was a mistake he would fail. As you read the chapter you see that he begins to make progress as he changes his thoughts to reflect God's thoughts.
Then, life happened and Gideon faced a conflict and defeat. He didn't believe that he was the warrior that God said he was. Instead he believed,"But how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family" (Judges 6:15). The angel of the Lord said he was a great warrior and Gideon tel Why would he struggle when the angel of the Lord is standing in front of him? His past spoke louder than the promise of his future.
Hurts, insecurities and broken dreams from our past have a powerful influence over our thought life. We have a filter in our mind that has been shaped by our life experience. Everthing we hear has to go through that filter before it reaches our ears. Recognizing those things that trigger our emotions is the focus of todays devotion.
I began to ask myself what negative emotions do I experience the most. It didn't take but a second for insecurity to raise it's ugly head.
Those of you who don't know me, I am six foot tall. When I was a little girl people called me BIG BIRD, and it wasn't meant as a compliment. I desperatly wanted to shrink so no one would notice me . I was so tall for my age people would say things like, "My, you are tall. Do you think you've stopped growing yet." "You are two heads taller than so and so, aw she's so cute look at her and her cute little feet isn't she a doll."
At school on picture day I always knew what was coming, "Oh dear, honey you need to get in the very back you are so much taller than everyone else, even the boys. My Lord, that's right keep backing up. Just as far back as you can go."
What good is a 6ft tall teenager who doesn't have an athletic bone in her body. I can't count the number of times I've heard,"I bet you play basketball don't you. You're so tall, of course you do how silly of me to ask." I hated PE class, especially when we played basketball. My PE coach in Middle school was particuarly hard on me. One day as we were playing basketball,she screamed at me for missing a shot, "Knight (my maiden name) you should be better than that. You are 6 foot tall how did you miss it."
I got the ultimate confidence booster when I was in the 10th grade. I made the varsity cheerleading squad in the 9th grade. I had hoped that I'd graduate from BIG BIRD status to one of the cool girls. I remember walking into class after the bell rang and seeing a picture of a girl drawn on the desk in a cheerleading uniform. Her legs looked like a giraffe – with the words "how did she make it" scribbled out to the side. Yes, they were referring to me and I began to ask myself the same question. The next year I didn't even try out.
Now, I'm all grown up and you know what, I hate sports. I haven't thought about those situations in years. I don't have to they are engrained in me as truth now.
Like Renee, my insecurities and fears have kept me from trying things. You want me to go hiking, no thanks. A climbing wall – fantastic everyone below can laugh at me while I'm suspended in midair with nothing but ropes and my long legs tangled in the rope. When my kids ask my to play basketball or softball – I start to panic inside. No!! I don't want to. I don't want them to see how bad I am. My husband played golf in college. (Yes, I married an athlete – good in every sport) He would love if we golfed together. In December we'll celebrate our 15th anniversary and guess what, my doubts have convinced me not to try.
In Chapter 1 of "A Confident Heart," Renee shares what God revealed to her after he spoke to her about her "shadow of doubt". She said, " As I stood there in my bathroom, I knew I needed to get honest with God too. I needed more than just a quick fix. I wanted to figure out what triggered my self-doubts."
Damaged emotions and insecurities from our past have a powerful influence over how we see ourselves today. Do you see a pattern of doubts or insecurity that is rooted in your past.
A Message from Renee
Excerpt from The 7-day Doubt Diet: Day 3
Conflict, criticism, and comparison are three triggers that lead me into that yucky place of uncertainty……
When I find myself standing in the shadow of doubt, I ask Jesus to show me what triggered my emotions. Then I process that trigger point through the filter of God's perspective and promises. I ask Him to show me what lie I believe that needs to be replaced with His truth. I then ask Him to change the way I'm thinking, which changes the way I'm feeling, and eventually transforms the way I'm living.
Over time, I've learned to rely on God's power to defeat my insecurities, which has empowered me to fulfill His calling on my life. And so can you! God calls us to live beyond the shadows our doubts, but it is not always about what He wants us to do as much as it is about what He wants to do in us as we learn to completely depend on Him.
Doubt Diet Tip:In the same way emotional triggers make us want to eat a half-gallon of ice cream or a whole bag of chips, we have emotional triggers that cause us to doubt ourselves. Ask God to show you your most common triggers and help you process them through the filter of His truth.

The primary purpose of a National Institutes of Health (NIH) fellowship is to provide time-limited research training, clinical training, and/or career development opportunities to postdoctoral scientists. At the end of the training period, the majority of fellows will leave NIH to pursue careers at institutions in the United States or abroad. More permanent positions may be available through tenure-track or tenured appointments. Opportunities for such appointments arise when research in a specific area is needed to fulfill the NIAID mission.
Tenure at NIAID consists of a permanent position and a long-term commitment of salary, personnel, and the research resources needed to conduct an independent research program within the scope of the NIAID mission. Scientists obtain tenure in one of two ways: 1) the scientist is recruited from a national search for a tenured position after compiling an extensive research record at NIH or at another institution, or 2) the scientist successfully competes for and completes a tenure-track appointment at NIH and is advanced to tenure.
Following nationwide recruitment efforts, candidates for both tenure and tenure-track positions are selected by a search committee, recommending official, and approved by the NIH deputy director of intramural research. While traditional tenure and tenure-track positions are created by the hiring laboratory, the new NIAID Clinical Tenure-Track Program will periodically conduct searches for outstanding clinical researchers who would be top candidates for the clinical tenure track and meet the mission of NIAID. Selected clinical tenure-track candidates are then matched to an NIAID laboratory.
Tenure-track investigators in basic research are given six years to establish themselves as independent scientists before being evaluated for tenure; clinical tenure-track candidates are given up to eight years. The NIAID Board of Scientific Counselors (BSC) reviews the candidate's performance and qualifications for tenure at the midpoint of the tenure-track clock and decides whether the candidate should be continued in tenure track or advanced for accelerated tenure decision. The BSC reviews the candidate's performance again at the completion of the tenure-track clock and decides if the candidate should be recommended for tenure.
If a candidate is recommended for tenure by the BSC and then the NIAID Promotion and Tenure Committee or by a search committee, and the Division of Intramural Research director concurs, the request is forwarded to the NIH Central Tenure Committee for approval.
The initial fellowship appointment is for a period of two to three years. This may be renewed at the request of the host laboratory, if it is mutually beneficial to do so. It is the usual policy of NIH that postdoctoral trainees should not remain at NIH for more than five years. The overall limitation is not more than eight years, regardless of appointment mechanism, unless the postdoctoral trainee is approved for a tenure-track or permanent appointment.

The work is now more than 41 percent completed, yet even though the job involves a variety of daily challenges, employees at the site have now logged more than 2 million work hours without a single lost-time accident, officials said.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced last month that site employees have worked for more than four years without an incident.
"The number 1,584 may not mean much to most people, but for [Moab UMTRA workers], it represents the number of days without a work-related, lost-time injury or illness," the DOE said in a March 12 statement.
Apart from that safety record, technical assistance contractor S&K Aerospace LLC has never had a lost-time incident since the DOE awarded its original project contract in June 2007.
To recognize both milestones, S&K and lead remedial action contractor Portage, Inc., recently hosted a celebration of the milestone.
According to the DOE, site employees received American National Standards Institute-approved orange t-shirts to wear as the weather warms up. Banners that celebrated the team's safety record also went up at prominent locations around the site.
According to Grand County UMTRA Liaison Lee Shenton, the last accident at the site occurred in October 2009, when an employee broke a leg while he was lining containers. The incident led to a change in procedures, he said.
Shenton credits the UMTRA team's performance in changing the public's perceptions about the project, as well.
At the start of cleanup work, Shenton said he heard from numerous people who came forward to voice their concerns. But over the years, the number of visits from concerned citizens has dropped "way off," he said March 18.
The pile of mining waste at the old Atlas Mill site is also getting smaller by the week.
The first shipment of tailings from the site to a long-term disposal cell near Crescent Junction began on April 20, 2009, and as of late February, crews had removed 6.5 million tons, or 41 percent of all tailings.
Crews have also extracted 205 million gallons of groundwater from the project area, and they've remediated 13 out of 15 properties in town that qualified for cleanup work, Shenton said.
In 2013, crews moved about 670,000 tons, and they're aiming for a target of 900,000 tons during the current federal fiscal year, according to Shenton. They also hope to begin removing mill debris some time this year, Shenton said.
From now through late September, they'll be able to continue their work without any fears of interruptions. The project budget for the current federal fiscal year totals $38 million, so there won't be any further shutdowns in the coming months, Shenton said.

Against the politics of certainty
Allow me to demur. Political nationalism is the idea that the boundaries of the state should be congruent with the nation, the latter defined in various ways but has conventionally been understood to be a people who share a common culture. The problem with this as far as I am concerned is that while culture and organisations are human universals, nations and states have not been. It is a supremely important fact yet nationalists almost always argue as if the marriage between the two is the unquestionable natural order of things and any deviation from this is something that is impossible to justify. This, I think, explains the utter incomprehension of nationalists when confronted with an alternative view; they don't treat it as a position to argue against but rather as a symptom of mental disorder - hence what is for me easily the most tiresome rhetorical phrases in this neverendum: nationalists endlessly repeating the line, "What are you afraid of?" to anyone who has the temerity to disagree with them. This incomprehension is also what is behind the notion that any opposition can only be another form of nationalism; that some of us like Britain the way it is partly because it is not a nation-state has not occurred to them - but even if it had, they would not be able to understand it.
The answer, then, to the question, "What are you afraid of?" is exactly this - this politics of certainty, of blind faith, which always and everywhere treats dissent as deviance and heresy. It is this that is always behind any of the economic arguments that we are told will decide this debate. That might be true of the undecided but it is not what animates the foot-soldiers that are doorstepping for the Yes campaign. They might sincerely believe Scotland would flourish after independence but in the way that an abused child would if they were released blinking in the sunlight after some kind of subterranean incarceration. Might take them some considerable time to function properly but the escape is the overwhelming imperative. I appreciate some might find this extreme but it is, I think, the base belief among the hardcore of the nationalist movement. Economic prosperity will follow independence, most of them believe, but even if it didn't, they would still prefer relative poverty to what they see as servitude.
My concern is this is not well-understood. Certainly not by the waverers who might be persuaded by the frustratingly vague promises of jam tomorrow and also not by the 'non-nationalists' for independence. Most of these are socialists and greens. They argue that independence is not a political expression of national identity but rather a means to achieve the sort of policies that are frustrated by membership of the Union. But at the heart of this is a belief in Scottish exceptionalism: Scots are just so social democratic but will never be able to realise this whilst locked into a Union with these cold-hearted, foreigner-bating southerners. In other words, this is a national political culture that makes a separate state essential, which brings it full-circle to the original definition. I'm of a pessimistic disposition so I would argue that the best one could expect is perhaps some mild improvements but without any fundamental shift in Scotland's long-term growth rate. And I wouldn't expect any Scottish government of whatever party to be that different in their attitude to the power of business and the press. It certainly wouldn't be with Alex Salmond at the helm. Whatever happens, it would be accompanied with a heavy dose of disillusion among those on the left, once they realise that the reason we don't have the sort of socialist policies they want to see is because people don't vote for them and not because we're part of the Union.
What the Euro elections showed, ironically, is that Scotland is not that much different from any other European country and what we are experiencing here is part of a wider nationalistic trend in politics. You do not need to think it will end in catastrophe to worry where this fundamental misdiagnosis of our problems might take our country or the rest of Europe. It is frankly absurd to believe, as some seem to, that nothing but good can come of all this flag-waving nationalism and if saying so is a tenet of what the more unthinking nationalists like to call 'project fear' then sign me up. I'm saying no to nationalism.

Interesting and thought provoking post. Particularly the question of whether essentialism about political culture shades into nationalism. For me, as an anti-nationalist, siding with one nationalism or other, either Scottish or British is inevitable. The question is which is least obnoxious. I set out a few thoughts on why secessionism isn't necessarily contradictory to anti-nationalism in a post I wrote a couple of months ago: http://socialproblemsarelikemaths.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/can-cosmopolitans-vote-for-scottish.html

BJ/Tyler got frustrated at that episode's RB. In a field with over 100 underground ovens, teams had to find an oven that had food buried inside (said food would become their dinner for the night ). BJ/Tyler arrived first or second, but departed in last, during which the food and stress of the task caused them to have a rare argument.I don't think it's notable enough for a Switchback, but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a task in the desert again.

Quote from: krabbe on November 07, 2010, 11:32:13 AMSo if Jill/Thomas weren't exaggerating to the guy in Muscat airport (they told him they'd lose if they couldn't get a flight to Bangladesh within 8 hours), does this mean they came in 2nd to last in the 2nd Russian leg? Or am I simplifying things?According to my speculation they may finish in the bottom half in episode 7. However there is a whole leg between that one and the flight to Bangladesh.
So if Jill/Thomas weren't exaggerating to the guy in Muscat airport (they told him they'd lose if they couldn't get a flight to Bangladesh within 8 hours), does this mean they came in 2nd to last in the 2nd Russian leg? Or am I simplifying things?
All I got out of that preview is what we already know, either C/S or G/M will be eliminated in Oman. Then Bangladesh may or may not be a NEL. Any other thoughts? I still lean towards C/S being eliminated before G/M.
Is it possible to get a look at 14 & 15 in HD to read the green road sign?
Well they are not using the Great Incense Burner for the route info.....they are using the old Portuguese Watch Tower across the highway from it. Its still in Riyam Park. Screencaps 3 and 4. You can see the Great Incense Burner in #3.
so Chad doesn't wait for Phil to bless their engagement!?
I wonder if they don't have to wait for the Incense Burner to open because only J/T and C/S are seen there at that time. The HoO hurdle may be somewhere else in the park or before it.
One would think Chad would propose at the PS, but obviously not.

Species: Annam leaf turtle (Mauremys annamensis)
Status: Critically Endangered (CR)
Interesting Fact: Until recently, the Annam leaf turtle had not been documented in the wild for 65 years.
More information:
The Annam leaf turtle has a dark brown head with striking yellow stripes that extend from its snout to the base of the neck. Three ridges, known as keels, run along the back of its dark brown upper shell. The underside of the shell, known as the 'plastron', is yellow-orange with black blotches on each bony plate. The Annam leaf turtle's feet are fully webbed, which make it well adapted to its semi-aquatic lifestyle.
This species is omnivorous and will readily eat fruit, fish and invertebrates. A semi-aquatic creature, the Annam leaf turtle feeds both on land and in water, and lays its eggs in a hole dug into the soil. The young turtles emerge after around 80 to 90 days, and resemble miniature adults in appearance.
The Annam leaf turtle is found in a small area of central Vietnam. It inhabits lowland marshes and slow-moving or still bodies of freshwater. The small range that this species inhabits is a prime location for rice production, which puts the turtle's habitat at risk. The Annam leaf turtle is also under constant threat from unsustainable hunting and illegal trade. In China, it can often be found for sale as meat or traditional medicine.
The Annam leaf turtle is protected under Vietnam's wildlife protection law and is also listed under Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which means that international trade in this species should be carefully monitored. Despite trade in the Annam leaf turtle being illegal, it continues to occur as the law is often poorly enforced. Various breeding programmes have recently been set up and captive populations are increasing. These programmes try to involve local school and university students to boost awareness of this Critically Endangered turtle's perilous situation.

OWINGS MILLS, MD- In the highest scoring game in CNU football history, the Captains fell to Stevenson Saturday night in double overtime, 46-43. Both teams are now 1-1.
The game, played before a capacity crowd of 3,500 at Mustang Stadium, was the first home game in Stevenson's inaugural season.
"Overall, they played with more energy than we did tonight," Head Coach Matt Kelchner said after the defeat. "We just didn't do enough to win the game...it comes down to the basics, blocking and tackling, and we didn't do a good enough job."
The game was tied at 21 at the half, and Stevenson built a 30-21 lead early in the fourth quarter. The Captains scored 12 points in just over seven minutes to pull back ahead, 33-30, with 1:01 left in the fourth quarter.
Stevenson then marched down the field in the final minute of regulation, and freshman Garrett Perau drilled a 37-yard field goal as time expired to tie the game at 33 and force overtime.
After each team scored a touchdown in the first overtime, the Captains had to settle for a 21-yard field goal from sophomore Stephen Denuel, his fifth field goal of the game, in the second overtime.
Stevenson then closed out the Captains with a 19-yard scoring pass from junior C.J. Hopson to sophomore Jeromie Miller for the 46-43 final verdict.
"I give them a lot of credit," Kelchner said. "They played with more enthusiasm and a higher energy level than we did. I take responsibility for that as the head coach, and I will make sure that doesn't happen again."
CNU running back Markeese Stovall (Richmond, Va.) rushed for 164 yards on 31 carries just one week after running for 170 vs. Waynesburg in a 12-7 win. Another sophomore back, Evan Moog (Williamsburg, Va.) scored his first career touchdown in the game on a 7-yard run in the second quarter. Moog finished with 55 yards on 15 carries.
The five field goals by Denuel (Moseley, Va.) set a new CNU mark for field goals in a game.
The Captains also got scores from sophomore Kentel Noel (Weems, Va.) on a 15-yard scamper to start the scoring in the first quarter. Junior quarterback Christian Woelfel-Monsivais (Fredericksburg, Va.) ran for two scores from three and eight yards.
Stevenson quarterback C.J. Hopson, a junior transfer from Division I Bucknell, threw for five scores and 284 yards and also rushed for 91 yards.
"He was the best player on the field tonight," Kelchner continued. "Any time you can bring in a Division I player like that you're going to benefit. He had a really good nght."
CNU was victimized by 11 penalties that resulted in 123 penalty yards.
Christopher Newport is now 3-2 all-time in overtime games.
The Captains return home next Saturday, September 17th, to host Salisbury at POMOCO Stadium. It will be the first home night game ever for the Captains with kickoff set for 7 p.m.

Wedding Trivia:TOASTThe term originates from the sixteenth century. At that time a small piece of bread would be placed in a goblet of wine. The goblet would be passed from guest to guest until it reached the person being honored who would drain the goblet and eat the morsel of bread in the bottom. This tradition is practiced at weddings today - usually in the form of one or more champagne "toasts". The best man has the honor of giving the first toast. Usually the bride and groom remain seated for the toasts while all the guests are usually standing to honor them. The couple may then make a few remarks thanking their families, wedding party members, and guests. They may also "toast" each other or share a "toast" together. Often special glass or silver goblets are used by the bride and groom.

Our father among saints Maximus I of Pec' (Maksim (Skopljanac) (Свети Максим патријарх српски)) was the Serbian Patriarch from 1655 to 1672. His Feast day is August 30 in Julian Calendar.
Maksim was born in Skoplje, so he was called Skopljanac (Man from Skoplje.) He was Metropolitan of Ras and Novi Pazar before he was elected to episcopal throne of Saint Sava. When Patriarch Gavrilo wrote to Serbia for the metropolitans to elect a new patriarch, the metropolitans elected Maksim as the new Patriarch. He was a well educated man. He was a book collector and donated many books to the monasteries. He, like other patriarchs, often visited his flock. He visited Šišatovac Monastery in 1661. On Pascha 1671, he visited Nikolje Kablarsko. The Church of St. Nicholas in Peć Monastery was painted through his efforts. Patr. Maksim also founded the town of Peć in 1674. He visited Valachia in 1661 to ask for material support. He also dealt with aggressive Roman Catholic proselitism.
Patr. Maksim suffered a stroke in 1669. When he suffered this stroke, the archimandrite of Peć Monastery Arsenije was elected Metropolitan of Hvosno and coadjutor for the Patriarch. When it was clear that patriarch's condition would not improve Arsenije was elected patriarch.
Patr. Maksim died on October 29, 1680 in Peć Monastery. He is canonized soon after his death.

Keeping Children Safe From Drowning in Flooded Areas
This is an important message from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. As the cleanup process begins after a natural disaster, there may be areas of flooding. Constantly watch your children to prevent playing in or around water. It doesn't take long and it doesn't take much water for young children to drown. In many cases, children who drowned had been out of sight less than five minutes and were in the care of one or both parents at the time. To learn more, call CDC at 800-CDC-INFO.

Scanning Scandinavian crime
His thesis, to which commenters, including your humble blog host, provide but minor correctives, is that there's a certain sameness to the Nordic crime fiction translated into English, as good as some of that crime fiction may be.
You can find the rest over at his place, but to expand on one of Declan's rhetorical questions, where are the Scandinavian Eoin McNamees, Ronan Bennetts, Eoin Colfers, Adrian McKintys, and Kevin McCarthys?
The hook for Declan's post was the publication of Barry Forshaw's Death in a Cold Climate: A Guide to Scandinavian Crime Fiction. Forshaw was kind enough to provide some advance material from the book last year when I moderated a panel full of Scandinavian crime writers at Bouchercon. And here's a post based on some notes Forshaw sent along some months ago about the book.

Twenty-five years ago, I lived in a fishing village, Tanji, on the coast of The Gambia. The village came alive before sunrise: if you got up early, you could see the brightly colored "pirogues" pushing out to sea, with six or seven brave young men sailing their precarious wooden dugout canoes. This was no mean feat. The Atlantic was unforgiving and sometimes treacherous.
I worked with the fishermen as part of a European Union fisheries project and, with time, we became friends. We spoke Mandinka, drank atyre, and shared our struggles and hopes. They told me how over the years catches had declined dramatically, forcing them to sail farther and farther out; how the trawlers were creeping closer to the shore, often mangling their fragile nets.
Many of these vessels came from China and the European Union. While the EU's fisheries project continued to "develop" the villagers, trawlers from the EU were sucking the waters clean of fish. The irony was lost on no one. The villagers felt angry, cheated and powerless.
One day, two pirogues did not return. Thirteen young men perished at sea, leaving families emotionally and economically devastated. Leaving friends with a deep, helpless sadness.
Today, West Africa suffers proportionally more from illegal fishing than any other region of the world. Every year, the region loses $1.3 billion worth of fish to illegal fishing (see Infographic). This plunder destroys entire communities, who lose opportunities to catch, process and trade fish.
Rising global demand for fish has made African waters a magnet for fleets from around the world. While trawlers from the EU remain the primary foreign presence, fleets from China, the Philippines, Russia, South Korea and Taiwan have also expanded in recent years.
This wholesale theft of African resources, and how to end it, is described in Grain Fish Money: Financing Africa's Green and Blue Revolutions, the 2014 report of the Africa Progress Panel, chaired by Kofi Annan. The report outlines the glaring lack of international cooperation – a patchwork of voluntary rules and fragmented institutions that the Global Ocean Commission has described as a "coordinated catastrophe."
How can we halt the plunder? African governments should increase fines on vessels that fish illegally, support artisanal fishing, increase transparency and provide full disclosure of the terms on which commercial fishing permits are issued. It's time to limit the unequal and unfair competition between industrial fishing fleets and artisanal fisheries.
Financing the plunder must also stop. Rich nations hand over US$27 billion a year in subsidies to those who are depleting the oceans, including cheap fuel and insurance. Major subsidizers include the European Union, Russia, and East Asian nations with significant "distant water fishing fleets." At least part of these subsidies goes to fleets that are implicated in illegal fishing in Africa.
Many commercial fishing vessels operating in African waters are registered to states that are either unwilling or unable to carry out their regulatory responsibilities. This transfers the burden of controlling "rogue vessels" to African governments that often lack the capacity for effective regulation. "Flags of convenience" are the maritime equivalent of tax havens, making it possible for owners to hide behind shell companies or nominees. A registry of fishing vessels that sail under a flag of convenience should be established, so African governments have the option of avoiding agreements with such vessels.
Governments can also improve controls in ports where the fisheries catch is landed and reported. As Mr. Annan has stated, "Commercial trawlers that operate under flags of convenience, and unload in ports that do not record their catch, are engaging in organized theft disguised as commerce."
Illegal fishing is theft, comparable to tax evasion, so there are strong grounds for the G8, G20, and other country groupings to back an initiative by Norway that would establish illegal fishing as a "transnational crime." This could bring illegal fishing under the remit of Interpol, with police, customs agencies, and justice ministries playing a more active role in enforcement. Furthermore, all nations should ratify and implement the Port State Measures Agreement that would allow coastal nations to deny port entry and services to foreign vessels suspected of illegal fishing.
Concerted international action to protect Africa's fisheries is urgent. The stakes are high – and not just in fishing villages like Tanji. Ultimately, the crisis of the oceans carries serious consequences for the rest of the world in terms of biodiversity loss, livelihoods, fresh water, clean air, rain, and protection against climate change.
Luckily, a silver lining is in sight – global governance of the high seas is shifting from the margins of political debates to centre stage where it belongs. It is time to end the plunder of Africa's fishing resources, unleash the long awaited blue revolution, and restore a healthy global ocean.
This was really illuminating.
This was really illuminating. Thanks for sharing this information. I hope more could be done even to make the international public aware that this is happening. It is certainly a crime that is being committed by governments whose citizens have no idea they are engaging their tax monies (or national flag) on this plundering of African resources.
Thank you so much for your
Thank you so much for your comment. I fully agree that much more must be done to raise public awareness. Indeed, the management of the global ocean is alarmingly neglected. Furthermore, when we first started the research for the report we were shocked by the lack of robust high quality data.
The illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing estimates are calculated using very poor data. In our report we use the figure of $1.3 billion lost off the cost of West Africa each year. But we think this figure is much higher.
A key multilateral treaty is the Port State Measures Agreement but it has been ratified by only ten states so far. The FAO is encouraging states to include the agreement in their national legislations but progress is slow.
Recently, however, there have been some small policy shifts. For example, the Department of State of the United States Government, convened a high profile meeting last month hosted by Secretary of State John Kerry. The objective of the meeting was to mobilize the international community around ocean protection.
Some African states are also moving and our report highlights Senegal as a good example. But ultimately much more needs to be done to move from destruction to opportunity. Multilateral solutions will be essential.
Beautiful piece of work.
Beautiful piece of work. Africa is bleeding because of its presidents who team up with donors on the expense of long suffering African people.
Dear Nicholas, you are right.
Dear Nicholas, you are right. Many parties are benefiting from the exploitation of the oceans. In addition, Mr Annan has noted that leaders and business interests actively collude in, and benefited from, the illegal sale of permits to foreign fleets. He states that multilateral action is essential but also adds that, "African political leaders have frankly failed to manage natural resources in the interests of the true owners of those resources - the African people." Caroline.
Thank you for this article,
Thank you for this article, however who is in a n=better position to act the you people at the World Bank? The action should come from you. Threatening to stop or halt World Bank programs to countries not taking care of this urgent matter and putting all the pressure you can on your European and US counterparts to take action. Awareness is one thing, but not accompanying this message with actions proposals is a little hypocrite, if you ask me. Sort of "I warned you!" attitude. A massive campaign has start. Are you taking the lead?
Dear John, I very much agree
Dear John, I very much agree with you that the World Bank has a role to play. The challenge of the oceans will only be resolved through multilateral action and, as you say, a massive campaign at the global level. You can watch a short video by World Bank President, Jim Yong Kim, herehttp://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f_WDm1Oaejc where he talks about the role of the World Bank in promoting healthy oceans. But many would say we all need to do much more as the crisis is already with us and the grave consequences of mismanagment and exploitation are being felt by billions. Caroline.
The blog rightful illuminates
The blog rightful illuminates the plunder inherent in Africa's fishing industry and the associated costs. Rich countries contribute to these illicit practices. Governments and political figures in Africa are to blame too. In Senegal, for example, according to the Africa Progress Report 'Grain, Fish, Money' highly placed political figures were able to sell illegal permits to foreign fleets for personal gains.
But it is refreshing that some governments are taking robust steps to safeguard their fisheries resources. In early 2014, a Senegalese court handed out the largest ever fine on a foreign vessel, US$12 million, to the operators of a Russian ship, the Oleg Naydenov. We need to see more of these moves in other countries. Africa cannot afford to lose out that hugely from illegal fishing whilst poverty ravages lives of millions of people.
One thing is instructive. Governments across Africa should improve domestic governance (and surveillance) by expanding their monitoring of vessels on their seas and implementing their fishing laws. Livelihoods of coastal communities are tied to fishing and these livelihoods have to be protected and improved.
For more recommendations and steps to end the plunder, see this year's Africa Progress Report. It sharply and comprehensively deals with the topical issues on illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing. Read more here: http://africaprogresspanel.org/publications/policy-papers/2014-africa-progress-report/
Thanks for this. The theft is
Thanks for this. The theft is disgraceful and the consequences for coastal economies is appalling. Is there any way of having EU trawlers volunteer to have their routes logged so that they might qualify for a a sort of legal fishing certification and then have consumers pressure supermarkets to only buy "legal fish" etc.? Does artisanal fish enter international trade or is it all consumed locally? If it is traded internationally might "artisanal fish" become a form of certification? Perhaps both of these things already happen and I don't see it, or perhaps they are both impractical but I do object to the possibility that I am buying stolen goods when I eat fish.
The fish business if annoying
The fish business if annoying, one day I walked through a fish market in Kampala and the fishmongers asked me to buy "Stake" but all they had was the bones and the heads!! They told me that @once the big men buy the fresh, they are left with heads and bones in other words, fish skeltons which they smoke and sell!!
Apart from that Lake Victoria is polluted, the fish stocks have dwindled because of poor fishing methodologies used by the international companies who only leave bones to the locals.
To me it greed both from the African leaders and double standards with their counter parts who import fish from African Lkakes.
Again a food security matter
Again a food security matter ! Would it be an economic solution to give the African states exclusive fishing rights on their coasts ? However, on the high seas, quota restrictions should be applied for the protection of fishes swimming to the coasts of Africa (new methods for the separation of fishes caught may be the subject of new researches). China is one of the biggest investors in Africa. Could China support the African fishermen's interests at international level ? (Convention on Law of the Sea)
I hailed from Tujereng, a
I hailed from Tujereng, a coastal village about three kilometers from Tanji, I know exactly what you are talking about. Long before the mechanization of fishing boats, fish were abundant and diverse sometime venturing very near shores of the landing sites to feed and take refuge in the shallowness of waters nourished by influxes of nutrients from the adjoining rivers overgrown with mangroves. Fishermen needed not go afar but wade or sail in near-shore waters to fill their boats in a wink of the eye. I remember helping fishermen off-load their boats in return for a fish to grill, fry or boil to tease my taste buds and satiate my grumbling stomach. In fact, everybody at the fish landing site goes home with fish to eat with family members.
It did not occur to me, neither to the fishermen nor the fisheries authorities that although these natural resources replenish in abundance, they are subject to depletion depending on the rate of extraction the effect of implements on their habitats. In the late 1970s to the early 1980s when coastal states realized they can turn these resources to wealth they relegated culture, traditions and welfare of the fishing communities to the second, third and fourth best. The scramble to maximize wealth without scruples accentuated with the coming of distant water fleet to fish in exchange for hard currencies and promise of technical and financial support. I hear states big or small ranting and yelling about illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing (IUU), what is it? It means stealing of fish from waters of coastal states without authorization, proper regards of regulations and landing them in foreign ports for value adding and sales without telling the owners that you stole so many tons of fish from their waters.
The high value policy objectives such as poverty alleviation, food security, employment creation, income generation to name a few carved in fisheries sector policies or strategic development plans in the coastal states may seem like cosmetics to mask the greed. Management measures are proposed but are not strictly followed through. Transparency, accountability, participation, etc., never made it to the commercial dictionaries as they impede the directional flow of cash.
I realized that the authorities and collaborators scored high in overexploitation of key resources, destruction of their habitats and deprivation of livelihoods and food insecurity. There is a need for the fisheries authorities to pause and rethink their actions. They should carryout institutional and legal reforms and put in place right governance and sustainable fisheries management structures in order to prevent overexploitation and illegal fishing and in that way, guaranty that my children and me and generations to come will enjoy fish in its diversity and size in the form we appreciate most with surplus income to spend on other goods and service and thus, keep the economic and social development engine running.

Post subject:
Thanks to technosaurus -for keeping some poor folks hope alive that there is a way around doing things sanely. Of course, you know much more about these things than I do and are a master at building things statically. I know there are ways around some of these problems, but as you know, they are not simple. My desire is that people here become convinced of the usefulness of sane building tactics -and especially that what seems to be the 'hard way' is really the easy way. The tricks you mention are way beyond the scope of any development cycle. for instance, how long did it take to get scite to do what you wanted? Could you do that for 237 other programs and still keep up with upgrading them when necessary? And, in between, you (as a developer) might want to write some new stuff -setup routines and other distro-specific stuff... Anything is possible, but some schemes are simply not practical for real scenarios. Also, you are talking about uclibc, which doesn't suffer from the well know 'a-hole problem' that glibc does.... One of the many reasons you prefer uclibc over glibc.
@tallboy, yes there is a way to 'sign' packages which makes the name unique to a certain system. It must consist of a unique name, the lib/prog version, the architecture, the build number and optionally a signature -which can indicate who built the package or for what distro variant it was built, something like this:
where the '-1' is the build number and billybob is the signature. Of course the sig could indicate the person and variant. Anyway, you can probably understand all that except the 'build' number. build numbers are used to distinguish new builds where the program version is not changed. when I first build myproggie-0.1, then the whole string looks as above: myproggie-0.1-i586-1_billybob
But, if I make a mistake, or decide to include somethigng else in the package, then the next build would be: myproggie-0.1-i586-2_billybob, and so on.
Still, there is lots more info which should be available some way, like the date of the build, exact details about the toolchain, etc. The only way to do so is with database files -preferably included inside the package. A central database with the info is simply unmaintainable. On my KISS system, each package contains an overkill of info about itself -even down to the md5sum of every file included. if anyone ever wants to find out if any files on their system have been modified, then the database provides all the necessary info. Of course, each package also contains a list of the exact versions of any libs/progs it depends on. The complete database allows for lots of usage scenarios. For instance, I can query it to tell me which programs a package depends on *and the order in which those dependencies must be built*. Or I can find libs which no programs depend on... There's no substitute for information.

Post subject:
While I'm here, I should mention that there is another key element of the toolchain -the 'libc headers'. Before building a new glibc, one must create a set of headers from the kernel sources, which are used during the build of glibc. These headers define the interface between the kernel and glibc. The kernel version from which the headers are taken have (almost) no relation to the version of the kernel which runs on the new system or which is running at the time that glibc is built. I say almost, because only at critical junctions where major features of the kernel interface change, will there be any need of using newer or older libc headers to accomodate the changes.
So, anyway, before one builds a new glibc, these libc-headers must first be prepared. Slackware calls the package kernel-headers which leads to lots of confusion -people think they should update these headers when they update their kernel, which is not true. In fact, the headers should only be updated when glibc itself is updated.
Also, when building glibc, one must specify a backwards-compatibility range for kernel versions. If you've ever seen or heard of the error 'kernel too old', then this compatibility range is the reason. Usually, most distros use a figure here which lets users run the new system using a kernel from an older release of the distro -one or two versions back. This allows for much easier upgrading.

Little tidbit:
Debian's way of identifying packages ends up something like
<packagename><-variant>_<upstream version>-<package revision>~<random comments/repository identifier>_<arch>.deb
So for example:
is the from the first VLC 2.0.3 build, has X11 disabled, and comes from Debian's backports for Squeeze, and is built for the "i386" architecture (really only runs on i486+ machines).
Packages from different architectures are incompatible.
Dependencies can be by packagename (vlc-nox) or can specify a version like this:
Depends: libogg0 (>= 1.1.0)
This means the SONAME of libogg must be libogg.so.0 (libogg.so.1 doesn't work, since it's ABI incompatible), and the package version must be at least 1.1.0.
Oh, by the way:
libstc++.a does exist.

When a new API is used it would be possible to add only the new functions to libogg.so.1 and link it to libogg.so.0 so as to keep compatibility and minimize size, but that would be just too much for autotools to figure out. To make it ideal you would need to add new functions and deprecate old ones rather than making substantial changes to an existing function without changing the name. Eventually the chain would be long enough to start slowing down startup times, but by that time it may be time to rebase the toolchain since most of the maintained apps relying on the oldest builds will have been (or at least could be) rebuilt on the newer ones.
Sorry, I know I get out into the weeds, but I hadn't thought of this before. I'll have to add this to my thesis.

Originally published at Gatestone Institute.
There is no doubt that the Gezi Park demonstrations in May and June, which spread to most of Turkey, represent a seismic change in Turkish society and have opened up fault lines which earlier may not have been apparent. What began as a demonstration against the "development" of a small park in the center of Istanbul ended as a widespread protest against the AKP government — and particularly Prime Minister Erdoğan's authoritarian rule.
The European Commission in its latest progress report on Turkey has recognized this change when it writes of "the emergence of vibrant, active citizenry;" and according to Turkey's President Abdullah Gül, who in the report is praised for his conciliatory role, this development is "a new manifestation of our democratic maturity." The Turkish government, however, has chosen to see these demonstrations as a challenge to its authority and has reacted accordingly.
The report mentions various repressive measures taken by the government, including the excessive use of force by the police, columnists and journalists being fired or forced to resign after criticizing the government, television stations being fined for transmitting live coverage of the protests and the round-up by the police of those suspected of taking part in the demonstrations.
However, there is, in the EU report, no mention of the campaign of vilification led by the Prime Minister against the protesters, or reprisals against public employees who supported or took part in the protests; also, measures taken to prevent the recurrence of mass protests, such as tightened security on university campuses, no education loans for students who take part in demonstrations and a ban on chanting political slogans at football matches.
Not only the demonstrators themselves have been targeted but also the international media, which Prime Minister Erdoğan has accused of being part of an international conspiracy to destabilize Turkey. The "interest rate lobby" and "the Jewish diaspora" have also been blamed. As the Commission notes, the Turkish Capital Markets Board has launched an investigation into foreign transactions to account for the 20% drop on the Istanbul Stock Exchange between May 20 and June 19, which had more to do with the U.S. Federal Reserve's tapering than the Gezi Park protests.
In August, however, a report on the Gezi Park protests by the Eurasia Global Research Center (AGAM), and chaired by an AKP deputy, called the government's handling of the situation "a strategic mistake" and pointed out that democracy-valuing societies require polls and dialogue between people and the local authorities.
The Commission is correct, therefore, when it concludes that a divisive political climate prevails, including a polarizing tone towards citizens, civil society organizations and businesses. This conclusion is reinforced by the observation that work on political reform is hampered by a persistent lack of dialogue and spirit of compromise among political parties. Furthermore, the report emphasizes the need for systematic consultation in law-making with civil society and other stakeholders.
This division was underlined by Turkish Parliament Speaker Cemil Çiçek in June, when, at a conference, he deplored the lack of a spirit of compromise in intellectual or political circles. This lack is not only illustrated by the occasional fistfight between parliamentary deputies, but also when the AKP government in July voted against its own proposal in the mistaken belief that it had been submitted by the opposition. Or when the opposition two days later passed its own bill while the government majority had gone off to prayers.
President Gül, in a message of unity to mark the start of Eid al-Fitr (in August, at the end of Ramadan), had called on Turkey to leave polarization behind and unite for the European Union membership bid. But to create a united Turkey will be difficult, given the attitude of the present government. Even the democratization package presented by Prime Minister Erdoğan at the end of September does not indicate any substantive change in the government's majoritarian approach to democracy.
Irrespective of the Prime Minister's reference to international human rights and the EU acquis [legislation], both lifting the headscarf ban for most public employees and a number of concessions to the Kurdish minority can be seen as a move to boost Erdoğan's popularity ahead of the local elections in March.

Fri, Mar 1, 2013 (2:26 p.m.)
A grand jury has decided not to charge a University of South Alabama campus police officer in the fatal shooting of a naked student.
The jury reached a decision Friday and said surveillance video proved Officer Trevis Austin was justified in shooting Gil Collar. Police said collar was naked and banging on a window at a campus police station Oct. 6. Austin, who went outside to investigate the sound, said Collar was acting erratically and lunged toward him.
A grand jury report says Collar had ingested a small amount of a chemical substance similar to LSD that may have caused him to act erratically. Mobile County District Attorney Ashley Rich says the substance is not on Alabama's list of controlled substances, so she doesn't have jurisdiction to bring charges against the supplier.

Comeback Kids
Trailing by 21 points in the second quarter, Chapman's 45-35 come-from-behind win last week against Pomona-pitzer marked the largest deficit the Panthers have overcome for a win in school history. It was already the Panthers second comeback win of the season, having rallied to beat Whitworth in the fourth quarter of Week 1.
Digging a Hole
Chapman has fallen behind early in all three of its games this season, yet has rallied to win two of them. In fact, the Panthers have been out-scored 24-3 in first quarters this season and 65-24 in the first half. Chapman has not scored first all year nor has it led a game going into a fourth quarter this season.
What Scoring Struggles?
Last week these notes focused on the Panthers scoring just 23 points in their first two games - an average of 11.5 points. However, Chapman nearly doubled that total in just one game. In fact, the Panthers' 45 points last Saturday marked a high for the Panthers under head coach Bob Owens and was the most a Chapman team has scored since beating Lewis & Clark 53-0 in 2005.
Spreading the Wealth
Chapman's spread offense was quite literal last week as the Panthers racked up 427 yards of total offense and scored 45 points, yet not one individual caught or rushed for more than 89 yards or scored more than one touchdown. Six different Chapman players reached the endzone, including four different rushers.
Breaking Out
Senior QB Bret Visciglia continues to improve with each game under center. Not only did he pass for a season-high 221 yards last week against the Sagehens, but he tied a career-high with three touchdowns (two passing, one rushing). After three games in 2010 Visciglia had thrown for 338 yards and one touchdown, but this year he has already thrown for 491 yards and four scores.
Touchdown Streak
Junior WR Kali'i Kunitomo extended his touchdown streak to three games with his 72-yard touchdown catch against Pomona-Pitzer in the third quarter on Saturday. He leads the Panthers in scoring with 18 points - one touchdown in each of Chapman's three games.
Wall of Protection
Going into the season, one of Chapman's strengths was expected to be in its offensive line. Thus far, that's held true as the offensive front five have given up just one sack and rank No. 8 in Division III in sacks allowed. That pass protection has helped the Panthers to a 122 quarterback efficiency rating.
Pressure Defense
With two more tackles behind scrimmage on Saturday, sophomore LB Anthony Ferraro climbed to No. 16 in Division III in tackles for loss, averging 2.0 per game. The second-year starter has six tackles for a loss of 30 yards already this season, including a team-leading two quarterback sacks.
Just Kickin' It
Although he has only played in two of the Panthers' three games, junior K Mauricio Alfonso is a perfect 4 for 4 in field goal attempts this season. And while it's early, Alfonso is on pace to set Chapman's single-season field goal record which is currently nine - set by two kickers Bill Hamlin (1994) and Matt Deter (2001). Alfonso is on pace for 16 with six games to play.
Hall of Fame Game
Saturday night is Chapman's annual Hall of Fame Game which will feature the inductions of three individuals at halftime of the Panthers' football game. The 2011 inductees are legendary basketball/baseball coach Don Perkins (posthumously), women's soccer player Lehua (Simmons) Werdel '00 and women's basketball player Melody Bongiorno Frank '04.
Claremont-Mudd-Scripps in 2011
The Stags are riding a two-game win streak entering Saturday's meeting with Chapman with the same 2-1 record. Claremont is coming off a 20-17 win over La Verne in its SCIAC opener last week, kicking four field goals en rout to the victory. The Stags have capitalized on a pair of teams still winless in 2011, beating Pacific (Ore.) (0-4) and La Verne (0-3). Claremont has won nine of its past 12 games dating back to last season when the Stags went 7-2 and finished third in the SCIAC.
Chapman vs. Claremont-Mudd-Scripps
Claremont snapped a three-game losing streak to the Panthers in 2010 with a 31-21 win at home against Chapman. In all, the Panthers own a 5-2 all-time advantage over the Stags, including a perfect 3-0 mark in Orange.
Chapman Football on Air
For the fifth-straight year, Chapman has partnered with the school's on-campus radio station, Chapman Radio, to broadcast all nine Panthers' football games in 2011 streaming live on the internet at http:www.chapmanradio.com/sports. A rotation of on-air student talent will provide play-by-play and commentary for every down of Chapman football.

VATICAN CITY — The U.S. Servant Sister who masterminded the defense of the World Youth Day website from a major cyberattack last summer has provided more details.
As noted Tuesday, news reports re-visited the attempt to hack the WYD Madrid site after the computer security company Imperva released a report, "Anatomy of an Anonymous Attack," outlining what the company said it has learned about the hacking activities of the group that calls itself "Anonymous." The report didn't mention World Youth Day or the Vatican, but The New York Times reported that it confirmed "the Vatican" or, more accurately, World Youth Day, was the target.
Now there may be questions about that.
Servant Sister Kristen Gardner, who handled the massive computer operation for last August's celebration of World Youth Day, explained in an email what happened. She said she thinks the news reports have gotten some information confused.
"I highly doubt that the Imperva report is about the WYD website," she wrote.
"Yes, we were aware of the attack. In July we received several threats from Anonymous via YouTube videos. We prepared all the necessary infrastructure to secure the website, removing all possible security holes. During the week of WYD, which is when the DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack took place, we were also aware of it, since the website at times was very slow and at other times could not be reached at all. The moments when the site was completely down were usually periods of about 10 minutes maximum."
Sister Kristen said, "We were able to block the IPs (internet protocols) from which the attack was coming. The day with the most attacks was Thursday, August 18th," the day Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Madrid.
"Imperva was not hired by WYD, nor did they do anything for us," she said.
"We were prepared for the attacks," she said, and especially in the last month before WYD kicked off she and her staff "continued to add extra protections. Thanks to that the hackers were only able to use DDoS tactics and not others. It would have been much worse if they had been able to enter the website and put their own content on it."
While the cyberattack was not completely successful or destructive, it did create massive headaches.
"The security in the last week made it much, much more difficult to update the website. This was especially so due to the fact that we had a team of 20 volunteers working on the site and we had to daily inform them of the new security measures and the new processes (which took time to be learned) to be followed to update the website.," she said.
"However, it was worth the work and effort," Sister Kristen said.

Mark Shuttleworth
Founder, Ubuntu/Canonical Ltd.Mark Shuttleworth is an African entrepreneur with a love of technology, innovation and space flight.
He funds HBD Venture Capital, an investment company based in South Africa, along with The Shuttleworth Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to social innovation in Africa with a particular focus on education. He currently lives in London, where he is an active member of the Ubuntu community, working to create a universal, freely available high quality desktop software environment for everyone.
Shuttleworth was born in the dusty gold-mining town of Welkom in South Africa, and grew up in beautiful Cape Town. His passion for technology first showed up as a love of computer games, a fascination that continues today. While studying for a business science degree in finance and information systems at the University of Cape Town (UCT) he first encountered the Internet, and quickly became intrigued by the changes it would bring in business and society.
In 1995, his final year at UCT, Shuttleworth founded Thawte Consulting as an internet consulting business. The focus of the company quickly shifted to internet security for electronic commerce. Thawte became the first company to produce a full-security e-commerce web server that was commercially available outside the United States. This brought Thawte to the world of public key infrastructure, which is the basis for all encrypted and authenticated internet transactions. Thawte was one of the first companies to be recognized by both Netscape and Microsoft as a trusted third party for web site certification, and it quickly established a leadership position helping businesses around the world accept secure transactions over the web. By 1999 Thawte was the fastest-growing internet certificate authority, and the leading certificate authority outside of the USA. Shuttleworth sold Thawte to VeriSign in December 1999 and began to look for new challenges.
After the dizzy days of 1999, he formed a new project team called HBD. The name is a reference to the phrase Here Be Dragons, which legend has it was used to describe uncharted territory on early maps. HBD is a venture-capital company seeking to invest in innovative companies that are based in South Africa but that have the potential to serve a global marketplace. HBD has invested in several South African companies in a variety of sectors, such as software, pharmaceutical services, electronics, and mobile phone services. In addition to funding HBD, Shuttleworth also serves as a non-executive director on the board of the company.
In the hope that risk capital can be as important for social development as it is for the economy, Shuttleworth has also created a non-profit organization that supports social innovation in education in Africa. The Shuttleworth Foundation funds projects that have the potential to bring about dramatic improvements to some aspect of the education system and hopes to improve both the quality and the reach of education in Africa. The Foundation has worked in all 9 provinces of South Africa, funding initiatives from teachers, small businesses, and private individuals. The Foundation is also an advocate of the role of open source software in education and in developing countries.
In April 2002 Shuttleworth realized a lifelong dream to fly in space. He spent a year working on the project, including seven months of formal training at Star City in Russia, and almost as much time in medical testing, science program development, and negotiations. The First African in Space project was without doubt the most challenging and exciting project any geek could wish for. He was a member of the crew of Soyuz TM-34, launched from Baikonur in Kazakhstan, and docked with the International Space Station two days later. The mission included 8 days working on the ISS, conducting a program of South African science experiments, and enjoying the extraordinary environment of weightlessness before coming back to earth with a bump. Since then, he has worked on a roadshow to share that experience as well as his excitement about science, mathematics, and technology with pupils across South Africa. The science and maths show has been seen by more than 100,000 pupils from nearly 2,000 schools. It has spawned a plethora of initiatives under the Hip2BSquare brand, which aim to make mathematics and science sexy to pupils who are choosing their subjects for high school.
In between projects, Shuttleworth tends to focus on catching up with the world of technology, particularly software and the Web, in the search for new ideas and opportunities.
In early 2004, Shuttleworth founded the Ubuntu project, which aims to produce a high quality desktop software environment that is freely available all over the world. The project brings together the very best of the free software stack, and has resulted in the creation of a number of unique tools for free software developers, such as the Bzr revision control system and Launchpad.net. Sub-projects include specialized desktop environments for schools, and for the needs of people in specific countries or industries, such as Edubuntu and Kubuntu.
