The standard of life in South Sudan is so far behind modern society that it dreams to one day reach Third World status, says the head of a missions group that works in the region.
So if South Sudan voted to secede from the North in the January referendum, it would need "a lot of external help," warns Bill Deans, president of Mustard Seed International.
"For the past three generations they've been in war. Every family is touched by that," reports Deans, whose organization ministers to the "least of these."
"There is a great number of orphans, the infrastructure in the South is non-existent, there are no pave roads, thus the ability for the South to sustain itself is not there," he adds.
Deans also emphasizes how there are no education or medical infrastructures in the region.
"It is going to take a lot of external help for that to happen over a period of time," Deans says. "They have been so isolated for the past 25 years."
Sudan is just four months away from a critical referendum in which the South can vote to break away from the North.
For more than 21 years, the predominantly Muslim North and the animist and Christian South fought in a bloody civil war that left some 2 million civilians dead and more than 4 million people displaced. The war also destroyed an estimated 500 churches in Southern Sudan.
In 2005, however, the two sides signed the Sudan Comprehensive Peace Agreement that ended the war. The CPA called for a government of national unity to be formed for a transitional period of six years. After this time, the South could vote to be autonomous. Many analysts expect the south to vote for independence on January 9, 2011.
It is amid the desperate need for medical care after years of war that Mustard Seed International established the Akot Medical Mission in 2006. The clinic is literally in the middle of the brush – where there is not even a grocery store nearby – and provides the only medical care in the area.
"For us to build this facility was nothing short of a miracle," says Deans, who noted the only building material on the site was the dirt. Every other material – from cement to nails – for the clinic was trucked or flown in from Kenya or Uganda.
"It is just a miracle that a facility like that can exist in the bush of South Sudan," he remarks. "The people say it is the best facility in the whole country. But we have nothing to gauge that on because we have not been all over the country."
In South Sudan, there is an average of one doctor per 100,000 people.
According to a report published by UNICEF in 2004, the infant mortality rate in South Sudan is 15 percent while the child mortality rate is 25 percent. About one in nine mothers die during pregnancy or childbirth and only five percent of births are attended by trained health care workers. The malnutrition rate, meanwhile, stands at 48 percent and severe malnutrition is over 21 percent. A U.N. official recently called South Sudan the hungriest place on earth.
Every year, the Akot Medical Mission provides direct medical attention to more than 30,000 people.
But Deans notes how very expensive it is to operate the clinic because of the transportation costs. He says it costs $10,000 to fly in $10,000-worth of medicine. MSI's total budget for the South Sudan operation, however, is only $300,000. And for the past two years, the MSI board decided to shift funds to help the clinic stay open despite shortfall.
"We are a small organization," says Deans, who became Mustard Seed International's president in 2002 on the condition that all the staff work as volunteers. "We get it done. We don't have the big publicity budget."
Despite the constant financial struggle to keep the operation in "off-the-radar" South Sudan going, Deans says he finds his job "rewarding" and "good."
"I'm working harder than I ever worked in my life running businesses," he jokes.

Dominican Sisters of Houston
"...You shall be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails." Isaiah 58:11
The Dominican Sisters' Ecology Committee had a dream in the Fall of 1994 - the dream of using a small plot of the motherhouse grounds for a vegetable garden. This was to be a very special garden, one that would give witness to our commitment to live and act in an ecologically responsible manner. With study and labor, the dream came alive! Our garden goals are two-fold; donation of organic garden produce to help those in need, and education to assist others with the practice of organic gardening in their local areas.
The garden has five beds, each 5 feet wide and 40 feet long, positioned for adequte sunlight. A smaller sixth bed is reserved for several fruit trees, for herbs and flowers and a beautiful bird-bath crafted by artist-gardener, Isabelle Chapman. During the first ten years, garden volunteers, volunteer groups, student visitors and service groups were instructed - and inspired - by Sr. Clement Johnson, botanist and resident expert.
Since Sr. Clement's death in 2004, wonderful volunteers have remained faithful! Student and service groups continue to visit, to help and to learn. Each Tuesday morning, the gardeners are nourished by friendship and sharing, by garden tending and planting. Actually, we have garden "regulars" who have been with us over months and years, forming a little garden community whose members support one another in moments of crisis and celebrate special times. Our garden seating area and the simple seasonal beauty of the garden is always restful and refreshing, so it really never is all work and no play!
From the outset, the Dominican Sisters' garden has been affiliated with Urban Harvest. We were on the first Urban Harvest Garden Tour in 1996. Produce from our garden averages 1,000 pounds each year. Many hear about the garden through Urban Harvest, and of course, we have friends!
Our garden continues to be financed by donations, and we are deeply grateful to the garden donors! In April of 2015, the Dominican Sisters' Community Garden reached its 20th anniversary. The garden is now a place of tranquil beauty with seasonal plants and flowers, seating and wind chimes.
It continues to offer support for neighbors in need. Produce has been taken to Manna House, a cooperative Third Ward ministry of seven religious congregations near the Dominican motherhouse, also to nearby Star of Hope Transitional Center and, on occasion to Loaves and Fisher, and other food ministries. We have had many adventures: no irrigation at the outset, and an occasional hard winter freeze. Only strategic watchfulness has protected plentiful tomatocrops from the birds and our tender produce from the rabbits. We have very little victory to report over the squirrels. However, rabbit munching was halted with the installation of a rabbit-proof fence in 2005. The fence installation is a major adventure story!
Subsequent addition of tree mulch further enhanced the beauty of our garden space and has made it a pleasant work area rain or shine.

The 2012 Urban Harvest Nutgrass Roots Award was presented to the Dominican Sisters Garden. This award is presented to community gardens that are as tenacious as nutgrass, gardens that have overcome many obstacles such as changing leadership, rabbits, broken water systems, Houston weather, opinionated gardeners and much more. Through sheer determination and effort, they have established themselves as gardens of excellence and sustainability.

Abdullah Ariff
Abdullah Ariff was born in Penang in 1904. He was a self-taught artist and was an art teacher at the Anglo-Chinese School,Penang (presently known as Methodist Boy's School). In the 1920s, there was no local art group and the only organised art group at that time consisted of expatriate Europeans (mostly English housewives ) who called themselves the " Penang Impressionists ". Asians were not allowed to join the exclusive group which was a reflection of the prevailing colonialistic imperialism then. However Abdullah Ariff was admitted into the group in the mid-30s because his services as an art instructor were needed. The " Penang Impressionists " disbanded before the beginning of the 2nd World War, never to be reformed.
Abdullah Ariff was acknowledged with Yong Mun Sen, as a pioneer of watercolour painting in Malaysia. He was especially well-known for his meticulous masterful handling of the medium. Compared to Mun Sen, his works are more 'European' in outlook and approach, and his paintings appear to have more crowded details. A dedicated teacher, he was well-respected amongst the artistic community in the northern states.
There was a break in his stay in Penang as he went to Kuala Lumpur in 1945 to work as a cartoonist for The Straits Echo. He returned to Penang in 1947 and became active in politics and was a committee member of UMNO. In 1955, he served as a city councillor and had the rare distinction of having a road in Penang named after him ( Jalan Abdullah Ariff ), an honour that no other artist in Malaysia has been accorded since. In 1955, he established the Ariff Advertising Agency.
In 1954, he held one-man shows at North Carolina, and the Mint Museum of Art at Charlotte, New York, U.S.A. In 1955, he participated in the "United Society of Artists" group exhibition at the galleries of the Royal Society of British Artists, London. There, he was elected to Fellowship of the Royal Society of Art (F.R.S.A.) England.
In 1956, he was invited to take part in "Le Salon" of the Society of French Artist at the galleries at Grand Palai des Champs-Elysees, France.
In 1957,one of his paintings was chosen as a personal gift to be presented to Tungku Abdul Rahman,Malaysia's first Prime Minister on the occasion of the Merdeka (Independence) celebrations.
Abdullah Ariff passed away in 1962, leaving behind a legacy of excellent watercolour paintings. According to one of his ex-student, Tan Lye Hoe, Abdullah Ariff's philosophy of art is "Art knows no barriers"

Hundreds of Next Media Group employees will lose their jobs after the group yesterday announced restructuring plans, adding that it would sell Next TV to ERA Communications Inc (年代集團).
Next Media Group executive director Cassian Cheung (張嘉聲) said in a written statement that the group had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with ERA chairman Lien Tai-sheng (練台生) about the sale.
Cheung said the group had made substantial investments in Taiwan over the past three years with the goal of establishing a world-class, high-quality digital TV service and video on demand (VOD) platform.
"However, the plan was delayed by the National Communications Commission because of its long review procedure," Cheung said. "Next TV channels were prevented from being listed in cable TV services because of the current stakeholders in the cable TV systems and consequently, a majority of TV audiences in Taiwan cannot watch Next TV."
"Despite the challenge, we were still proud of having been able to raise the quality of the nation's TV and multimedia industry," Cheung said.
Aside from Next TV network, Cheung said the group would soon terminate its VOD service.
The decision, he said, was made after thoroughly and carefully considering the future development of these divisions.
"Because [Next TV channels] are unable to be included in the mainstream cable TV service, the best option is to merge with a current TV operator," Cheung said. "As such, we must terminate the multimedia division, which has been coordinating with Next TV."
Next TV spokesman Chang Hsiu-cher (張修哲) said the two groups were scheduled to sign an official contract within a month of signing the MOU.
The group hopes the transaction will take effect on Jan. 1, he said.
Next Group chairman Jimmy Lai (黎智英) also apologized to Next TV employees in a text message for what he called his personal mistakes.
"I failed in TV and have no regret, but I feel deeply sorry for the colleagues who worked hand-in-hand with me in a slim hope," Lai said.
"It was my mistake that made you lose three years of your precious youth. I have nothing to repay you. I can only say I am sorry and ask for your forgiveness. Please take care of yourself," he said.
Meanwhile, Next Media Group reported to the Taipei City Government's Department of Labor that it planned to lay off 504 employees, including 204 from its VOD service division, and 300 from its TV network.
The department confirmed it had received Next Media's plan to lay off workers, but said that it would ask the group to provide more information to prove the legitimacy of its actions.
Next Media Group promised that each laid-off employee would receive severance pay higher than the legal requirement.
Last month, Next Media had also said in a voluntary notice to Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing that it was approached by an independent third party interested in purchasing three media outlets in the group, including Chinese-language dailies Apple Daily (Taiwan) and Sharp Daily, as well as Next Magazine.
Aside from being the chairman of ERA TV Network, Lien is also the chairman of Cashbox KTV. An army veteran, he rose to prosperity by working his way up from a position as a part-time employee in a video store.
The change of ownership and board of directors at Next TV still has to be approved by the commission.

From here decisions get tough. Up to this point everything was smooth and free flowing. It was fun demoting and giving away states. It was easy to consolistate. But now the low hanging fruit is gone and we are left with eleven states that are ripe for pairing, but I cannot find the right name. My first dilemma is the state I live in and its neighbor.
Minnesota + Wisconsin
I think the above two states would make a great pair. Both have prospering metropolitan cities: Twin Cities and Milwaukee. Both have great college towns: Madison and Mankato. And finally, both take great pride in their natural resources: Minnesota's ten thousand lakes and Wisconsin's Green Bay Packers. If only we could capture this synergy with a suitable name. I only see two and I find them lacking.
Winnesota: The name gives the appearance there are winning sports teams in Minnesota.
Misconsin: Is that a mistake in your name?
Then there is another great pairing that is also in the Midwest.
Illinois + Indiana
Look at a map. These two states were made for each other. They are the only two states that look like they may be related with Illinois acting the role of the older brother who works as a union boss with questionable ties to the mob and Indiana as the wide-eyed younger brother who goes on to become a senator with presidential ambitions.
The problem is the name. There isn't a combination that works. After much reflection over a ten minute lunch, I came up with an option. If the two states can convince a major company to relocate from Silicon Valley to Terra Haute, there is only one name – i-state.
If you think the above is a stretch, it only gets worse when you combine:
The Virginias + The Carolinas
Although bold, I think it's a correct move to combine all these Atlantic states. They share the Appalachian Mountains and are predominantly rural. They may also give O'Jersylvania a run as a key presidential consolistate. I just don't like the name in any combination.
Virolina: Did I just create a new disease? Would the CDC need to relocate to Charlotte?
Carginia: Would this name cause a spike in cancer rates or would it be the tobacco?
Consolisate: Part One
Consolisate: Part Two
Consolisate: Part Three
Consolisate: Part Four
Consolisate: Part Five

"Zero Dark Thirty," the new film about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, is a rarity in Hollywood, a screenwriter's film. Mark Boal, the investigative journalist-turned-movie scribe is the star of the show, despite largely maintaining his anonymity.
Actress Jessica Chastain gives an emotionally charged turn as Maya, a CIA analyst who's been on the hunt for OBL for more than a decade, and she will no doubt continue to rack up trophies and nominations all through awards season. Director Kathryn Bigelow, who's already won an Oscar for "The Hurt Locker," will more than likely find herself in the running for another Academy Award.
But it is Boal, who also won an Oscar for "The Hurt Locker," whose tireless research and hard-charging narrative make "ZD30" such a compelling film. A New Yorker born and bred, for Boal this story was too important not to get right. He returned recently to his hometown to talk about the new film.
On what drove him in pursuit of this story:
9/11 was a personal day for me. I was born and raised in this town. So Bin Laden attacked my hometown. I grew up on 11th street. But with this piece in particular I didn't approach it with any agenda. I didn't know what the story would be when I sat down. The characters came from the reporting. For all of us… it's been a decade that in a lot of ways was shaped by 9/11so it's hard to draw the precise lines of influence. Hopefully the piece captures some of the ending of a particular chapter--at least I'm hopeful that it's the ending of a particular chapter.
On concerns the Obama Administration or others had any influence over the film:
As you're aware, there was a bit of election-year controversy [the film was originally scheduled to be released before the presidential election, but got pushed back so as not to appear to be trying to influence the outcome] and I'm not going to get into it in great detail. The movie was made independently, it was independently financed. I emphasize that because there was no arrangement or deal with either of those two agencies and as far as how we approached it we worked through every channel we can, including public affairs departments at those agencies. It was a distraction in terms of filming the movie, but I think the movie speaks for itself.
On the true identity of Chastain's character:
U.S. & World
One of the things we're not going to do, on principle, is talk about the real-life people the film is based on. Because many of them are still working and we take protecting their identities very seriously. So while it's an interesting question… Look, the issue of government transparency is going to become more and more important as the war on terror continues and expands and we got, I think, sucked into that debate a little bit but we're trying to make a movie here. And with all due respect to that debate, we hope people view this as a film.
On balancing entertainment and facts:
Look the material is inherently dramatic and if you grew up like I did reading James Bond novels and to get to work in the behind the scenes of the real thing is pretty exciting. You've got people running around Pakistan chasing dangerous terrorists. Not that it wrote itself, there was a little work involved. But it's one of the great stories.
On finding humor in such a dark story:
I don't think that the movie is dark but that's probably more a comment on me. I find it encouraging to tell a story about the ruthless world of counter-terrorism about real people and that they're not all ruthless killing machines. Maybe that does sound dark. In terms of levity there are a few jokes but it just comes down to the performances and to find a little bit of humor in what is an otherwise buttoned-up professional environment.
"Zero Dark Thirty" opens Wednesday, Dec. 19.

9/11: Special theater performances on Sunday
Several area theater companies will be staging special 9/11-related performances on Sunday. Here's a rundown:
The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center's "Lovers Leapt"
This award-winning play by New York playwright Leslie Bramm focuses on the decision of two co-workers to jump from the Twin Towers. The backdrop of the play is four paintings of the World Trade Center by Joellyn Duesberry in the El Pomar Gallery. The play contains adult subject matter is included with gallery admission. Performances at 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. Sept. 11. The 30 W. Dale St., Colorado Springs. 719-634-5581, csfineartscenter.org
Arvada Festival Playhouse' "Remember Flight 93: A True Story of American Courage"

Bas Bleu Theatre Company's "The Guys"
This play, based on a true story, involves the dialogue between a fire captain who has lost most of his men in the World Trade Center attack, and a journalist who struggles to help the captain write eight instant eulogies. "This play brings to mind exactly how a firefighter feels after such a tragic event," said Virtus D. Einsphar, a retired assistant fire chief from Greeley. "As a firefighter, I feel the public should have the opportunity to see this play. None of us should ever let 9/11 fade from our memories."
Added director Director Morris Burns: "As we watch, the play itself becomes a eulogy commemorating both everyday humanity and valiant efforts of these heroes."
The actors are Wendy Ishii and Don Kraus. Tickets are $22, $17 seniors, $12 students and $10 children. 970-498-8949, basbleu.org
Firehouse Theatre's "The Guys"
In Anne Nelson's fact-based drama, a New York City fire captain struggles to prepare simultaneous eulogies for the majority of his squad who died in the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. He talks about what made these men who who they were, why they were firefighters, and what they meant to him and the community – with a writer who is enlisted to help him get through their memorial services. In the process, the two embark on their own journey of friendship. The performance runs 75 minutes without an intermission. At its conclusion, Firehouse will present "Aftermath" – 15 minutes of unrehearsed staged readings of stories written by and about Firefighters. 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 11 at the John Hand Theatre, 7653 E. 1st Pl., 303-562-3232 or firehousetheatercompany.com

For Sri Lankan journalists, January might be the cruelest month. In January 2011, Sonali Samarasinghe wrote about the death of her husband Lasantha Wickramatunga two years earlier on January 8, 2009. In January 2010 I reported in "Sri Lanka: A year later, still failing to fight media attacks" about the government's inactivity in investigating Wickramatunga's death one year on. That was a follow up to the February 2009 "Failure to Investigate," in which CPJ had investigated his death and two other January attacks --- one a bombing raid on an independent television station and the other -- an attack similar to that on Wickramatunga, though not fatal -- on Upali Tennakoon, the editor of a Sinhala newspaper.
Now, three years after Wickramatunga, the editor-in-chief of The Sunday Leader, was killed by eight men on four motorcycles who attacked him with metal and wooden poles after cutting off his car on a busy street near a police checkpoint and air force base in a suburb of Colombo, the court hearing periodic reports from police in the investigation has made no substantive movement toward bringing any of the perpetrators to justice.
Samarasinghe has released a wide-ranging indictment of the government's inactivity and the continuing onslaught against independent media in Sri Lanka. The Free Media Movement released its statement Sunday. The Sunday Leader's remembrance, "Lasantha Was Murdered 3 Years Ago ...Remembering Lasantha," noted that "three years later and with over sixty dates in court, the Police have still not made any headway with the investigation."
And coming up on January 24 is the second anniversary of the disappearance of Prageeth Eknelygoda, a cartoonist and pro-opposition journalist - another case that remains tied up in court hearings with no substantive movement. Eknelygoda's wife and two sons have gotten no word from any official body of the Sri Lankan government, from the lowest police desk to the highest levels of the ministry of justice, about what happened to Eknelygoda.
In 2011, Sri Lanka ranked fourth worst in the world in terms of allowing murders of journalists to go unpunished, according to our global Impunity Index. As we noted in our report, "President Mahinda Rajapaksa has presided over a dark era of targeted media killings and complete law-enforcement failure in addressing the crimes. All nine journalist murders in the past decade have gone unsolved, leaving persistent questions as to whether authorities have been complicit in some of the crimes."
The government has made public its report from the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission, which has been rejected internationally as a whitewash of conduct in the decades-long conflict with secessionist Tamil movements, notably the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. As we noted in a November 15 blog, "Sri Lanka's savage smokescreen," "A March 2011 report by a panel of experts appointed by [UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon] called the LLRC 'deeply flawed.' It recommended that the government should end practices that limit freedom of movement and freedom of expression 'or otherwise contribute to a climate of fear.'
The result of all this mayhem is that Sri Lanka's independent media has been largely restrained, though voices still speak out on occasion. The government's attempt to rewrite the history of one of the most brutal civil conflicts in modern times has been challenged, but not yet discredited, by any independent international body of any stature.
In that context, the January 2009 murder of Lasantha Wickramatunga and the January 2010 unexplained disappearance of Prageeth Eknelygoda are only two way-points along Sri Lanka's route to abandonment of its international standing as a country with a rule of law. And, of course, a free press.

Our first time in Mexico and we anticipated quite a bit judging from the posted comments on this site and feedback from our travel agent. I will skip the flight, airport transfer and other details as this is irrelevant to the resort. The lobby is very inviting, puts you in this relaxing mood as you get in. The check in was fast and curtious along with a welcome glass of champagne. Our room (1213) was in the first building so we decided to walk to the building with our luggage, we arrived at 6:15 pm and were very anxious to get our first cocktail at the beach bar. The whole process of check-in and room access took about 15 minutes, thats a first for us. We were on the first building to the left, SOL, which is similar the the other 5. There is a path way in the middle of the resort that gets you from the lobby on to restaurants, room buidings, beach, and fitness-spa. That pathway is something that I will never forget as its curvelinear shape will make you discover the local vegetation as well as some wild life, all of this with very relaxing music and tastefull indirect lighting. Simply awsome
Rooms are spacious with all the ammunities that you would expect. The bathroom was very modern with a very large shower, no bath. the towels and other necessities were replenished twice a day. You must keep in mind that the first 2 floors will provide a direct view of the forest and the 3rd floor makes you feel that you are sitting atop of it. There are no sea or pool view rooms in this resort, Zen is the theme here, and they suceeded.
Restaurants and Bars::
We used all the "a la carte restaurants" except for the Spanish and they were all good, they actually have a pretty good wine card if you want to move away from the house wine but that will cost you. The house wine was acceptable and always served at the right temperature. Food was hot (or cold pending on the dish)and fresh with a great variety in the 2 buffet restaurants as well. The table service was awsome, never been to a resort wher they pay so much attention to details. The staff was eager to make your stay memorable and it really shown. The 3 bars were consistant for quality and service and the staff very friendly. I would have liked a little live music at the lobby bar after 10:00 pm as it gets pretty quiet once the daily evening entertainment stopped, usually at around 10:15. We have not visited the Disco.
The pool is as good as it gets. The beach is postcard quality with its wonderfull white sand and luxurious lounge chairs. Plenty of palapas and room to move around. The resort is situated pretty much in the middle of a small bay that must be about 1.2 km long. You can walk the beach both ways without any rocks or debris to speak of. Water is cristal clear and refreshing (december).
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel::
We did not participate in any activities as we kind of plan our own, however, ongoing activities always did draw a crowd. This is a very, very, very Zen resort, don't expect outstanding outdoor activities. They ask for your participation but will never pressure you to get in. There are plenty of tours available that were covered it great details by earlier posting.
Other Comments::
This resort is for adult only (don't get any bad ideas) and if you are looking for a relaxing upscaled service and catering this one hits the spot. I anticipated a lot from this resort, they delivered the goods and then some.

For me, the trip from the airport to the hotel was long, it is far about 2 hours or one and half hours, I needed something close but it was okay. The location is great not minding the distance from the airport, very serene environment and on top of that, their service is very high standard. The staff went out of their way to make sure you are comfortable so a big shout out to them. The rooms are basic but at same time spacious and very clean. The beds are comfortable and had clean sheets and the room had wifi which was somehow a bonus, you've got to love Catalonia Royal Tulum. There are many adventures to take part in such as rock climbing and snorkeling. The entertainment staff tried their best to include most of the guests and it was a nice gesture but I still think that they need more entertainment options and activities. The beach is quite beautiful, lots of people, mixed crowd of both young and old guests all happy and very warm. I was part of one batch that went on a catamaran trip that was so exciting; it was one of the best things I enjoyed at this resort. Food at this restaurant was really good, a la carte restaurants were great and so I loved the Italian one most of all. The buffet was great, I took most of my breakfast and lunch there, loved it. The hotel needs improvement but it's great.

A new study from the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) provides guidelines, recommendations and best practices for the practical application of computational fluid dynamics to the modeling of smoke movement in enclosed spaces. HSL modeled three realistic fire safety engineering cases: a subway station, an accommodation module on an offshore platform, and a high-rise building under construction. Aspects of the modeling process including the computational grid, the discretization scheme and the turbulence model were varied for each scenario, and the resulting predictions of smoke transport were compared.

Bulgaria - The long revolution
They still resemble delicate fairies when they dance. Watching these ballet dancers, one cannot help but remember the days of Communism when Bulgaria's female track and field athletes swept the board in international competitions. The only difference is that today the girls in Sofia's dance school smile more often as they whirl through the air. Even the dancers' trainer is the same person as in the old days – Neschka Robeva. "No one knows if the state will be willing to pay for this institution much longer," she says. Robeva believes that anyone making long-term plans in Bulgaria today is either stupid or a hopeless optimist. She dislikes the general mentality that has descended on the population following the political upheaval: "The nation has not understood that self-discipline is still the most important thing, even in the new system." Teachers like Robeva used to enjoy high social standing in Bulgaria. But today this only applies to people who make a lot of money.
Bulgaria has undergone change more rapidly than probably any other country in South Eastern Europe. In conversation with a selected group of interview partners, Return to Europe shows Bulgaria's miraculous transformation into a relatively average European country. The most profound changes did not start until after the great crisis of the late 1990s; ever since then Bulgaria has been booming. The construction industry, in particular, has enjoyed rapid growth, as Return to Europe documents. "It has been difficult to do anything wrong over the past ten years," says businessman Ivo Prokopjev.
Along with the money, however, came the corruption – the sleazy links between politics, business and crime. But Return to Europe also shows that, thanks to the highly committed journalists and efficient control systems of present-day Bulgaria, scandals such as the misappropriation of EU funds were uncovered. The film's subtext is that Bulgaria's image is far worse than it actually deserves.
If you would like to watch the complete film please go to ESI's Youtube page.
The film also puts the spotlight on those people who have not been able to benefit from the upswing – the Roma people in particular. Programmes aimed at fostering education and enabling participation in the labour market are only slowly being established. "The education system has never accepted that there are people living in this country who speak a language other than Bulgarian," complains Mischa Georgiev of the Roma organisation Romani Baht. He speaks frankly about how the Roma live "on the margins of legality" in Bulgaria. Bulgaria also oppressed its minorities during the Communist era; these included Turks as well as the Roma. After the changes of 1990 it was the Roma who lost their jobs first.
But despite the fact that nationalism might have seemed the easy way forward, Bulgarian politicians did not fall prey to the temptation to look out purely for their own interests as happened in other Balkan countries. Bulgaria recognised the state of Macedonia, and today there are Turkish ministers in Sofia. "We lost the First, the Second and the Cold War," says pollster Andrej Raychev. "We have learned our lesson."

A sweet and cooling pud.
"Zabaione is an old Venetian dessert traditionally made with Marsala wine, but here I've given it a southern-Italian twist by using limoncello," says Gino.
"It's made from Amalfi lemons, which are famous for their wonderful sweet flavour and fragrance and exceptionally large size. Raspberries are equally delicious with this dessert."
Your guests will be impressed.
(Serves 6)
200g ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced
140ml limoncello (lemon-flavoured liqueur)
80g caster sugar
6 egg yolks
Grated zest of 1 unwaxed lemon, plus extra for decoration
120ml double cream
1. Put the strawberries in a medium bowl with four tablespoons of the limoncello and two tablespoons of the sugar. Stir and set aside at room temperature for an hour, stirring every 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, place the egg yolks in a heatproof bowl (preferably stainless steel) with the lemon zest and remaining sugar. Whisk using a balloon whisk until pale and creamy.
3. Set the bowl over a pan of very gently simmering water. The base of the bowl should not touch the water. Add the remaining limoncello and whisk constantly until the mixture foams and thickens. This should take about five minutes; remember, the mixture will thicken further as it cools.
4. Fill a slightly larger bowl with iced water and set the bowl with the zabaione mixture inside it. Leave to cool completely, stirring occasionally (it should take about 25 minutes).
5. Put the cream in a medium bowl and whip until thick enough to form peaks. Gently fold a quarter of the cream into the cooled zabaione, then the remainder.
6. To serve, divide the strawberries and their juices among six dessert glasses and top with a large dollop of zabaione. Sprinkle over some grated lemon zest. Serve immediately.

Supported by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and other groups, the Elephant Pepper Development Trust (EPDT) has not only promoted the use of chilli peppers as a means of keeping elephants, buffalo, and other species away from important sources of human food, but has also introduced a viable cash crop to the economy of African nations.
"Chilli peppers are unpalatable to crop-raiding mammals, so they give farmers an economically feasible means of minimizing damage to their investments," said Loki Osborn, project director for the EPDT. "They can be grown as buffer crops to prevent crop-raiding and then be harvested and sold on the world market through the trust."
Osborn originated the idea of Elephant Pepper in 1997, when he found that chilli peppers could be used as a means of stopping elephants from destroying crops in the Zambezi Valley, which straddles the borders of Zimbabwe and Zambia. While electric fences and other deterrents are prohibitively expensive, chillies provide farmers with a cost-effective means of warding off the elephants without inflicting them with permanent damage.
Specifically, farmers use chilli peppers to deter potential crop raiders in two ways: as a protective buffer crop to surround core crops of maize, sorghum and millet; and as an ingredient in a spray to drive away animals.
In addition, chillies are currently being used in the production of bottled hot sauces, jams and relishes. Proceeds from these products are donated to the trust to support to the development of chilli growing projects.
"This is a highly creative and effective way to solve a growing problem across the African landscape," said Dr. James Deutsch, director of WCS' Africa Program. "With the growth of human populations in the Zambezi Valley and beyond, people and wildlife come into more frequent contact than before. Elephant Pepper products are a working example of how the survival of elephants can be reconciled with the livelihoods of farmers."
Since its founding, the Elephant Pepper Development Trust has served up to 250 farmers in the valley, and in 2003, the trust was awarded a $108,000 grant from the World Bank. The trust also formed two companies, the African Spices Company in Zambia, and the Chilli Pepper Company in Zimbabwe. Due to social and economic unrest currently raging in Zimbabwe, the trust's operations there have ceased, opting instead to continue production in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The Elephant Pepper Development Trust is currently investigating how to distribute their hot sauce products in the United States. For more information, visit www.elephantpepper.org , or send an email to email@example.com

Apple in Education Profiles
Students at Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawai'i, use Mac notebooks to research class assignments and show results in ways they never could before.
The inspiration
At Punahou School — an independent K–12 college preparatory day school founded in 1841 by Congregational missionaries — no tradition is more honoured than purposeful reinvention. Located in lower Mānoa Valley, a residential area in the city of Honolulu, Hawai'i, the school is famous for innovation and progressive educational thinking.
In 1998, that thinking led school administrators to recognise a need to adjust their curriculum to better prepare students for a working world that increasingly favoured the technologically fluent. After looking closely at how technology was being introduced in other schools, they ran a successful pilot program that gave each of their Year 5 students day-long classroom access to their own Mac notebooks. Teachers observed that students were more engaged when using the Mac, and they saw the effect as potentially transformative. With such promising results, school administrators decided to comprehensively integrate Mac as a learning tool throughout the curriculum for all grade levels.
The Mac has helped Punahou move away from structured learning and toward a more flexible, self-directed approach, where teachers encourage student interest and choices. Now teachers rarely lecture from the front of the classroom. Instead, they ask questions, then issue clear guidelines and expectations for students to meet. Either alone or in small groups, students research the topic on the Mac to come up with the information they need to answer each question.
But because learning at Punahou is always less about finding information than doing something interesting with it, students use the Mac, iLife and iWork to demonstrate results to their teachers, other students and even online. In addition to writing essays and taking tests, students deliver fully realised learning projects, complete with images, video and sound. These include songs and podcasts recorded and edited in GarageBand; digital presentations and portfolios created in Keynote; videos for Punavision — the campus news program — edited in iMovie and Final Cut Pro; and even iOS apps built using Xcode.
Because the Mac and its applications are so easy to use and so closely integrated into the curriculum, teachers and students can focus on the quality and creative expression of learning, rather than on how to use the tools.
"The Macs in my classroom are completely indispensable."
— Sandy Chang, Reading, Writing and American History teacher, Punahou School
The implementation
Because of the success of the pilot program, the decision to use the Mac as a comprehensive learning tool at Punahou was an easy one. The faculty saw firsthand the clear benefits of using a Mac in their lessons. And parents who had worried about the isolating effects of technology quickly changed their minds during classroom visits that showed how the Mac encouraged student collaboration and interaction.
But because Punahou School is the largest private K–12 school in the US — currently with more than 3,800 students — school administrators needed to plan carefully for the school-wide transition to Mac. Working with faculty, parents, and Apple, they created a strategy for integrating Mac notebooks naturally and appropriately into the curriculum at all grade levels.
Today, the youngest students at Punahou, those in Years K–4, learn to use a Mac in the classroom and in a multimedia room, with structured supervision. Beginning in Year 5, each student receives a computer for use in school and at home as they become familiar with using iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. In this way, even younger students quickly become proficient at working with the tools they need to do increasingly challenging classwork. And by the time students graduate from Punahou, they're capable of creating truly engaging learning projects.
To achieve their own Mac proficiency, teachers participate in training sessions, including summer workshop sessions. Teachers also coach their colleagues in integrating Mac into the curriculum. And for skill development in more complex applications like Final Cut Pro, both teachers and upper-level students can take special tutorials offered by school-designated experts.
The small school technical support group reports that the Mac notebooks are remarkably free from viruses, and that they hold up well to the rigours of travelling from home to school and back again. And because the notebooks are so easy to use and maintain, most students and teachers can resolve problems on their own.
Since one of the goals of the technology integration initiative at Punahou is to put the right device in a student's hand for any given learning opportunity, the school has also introduced iPod touch for student activities like making real-world measurements on excursions. And Punahou students at all levels are using iPad with selected apps to extend their learning: kindergarteners use iPad to practise letters and numbers; fifth graders to design and manage virtual cities; high schoolers to experiment with geo-location and video journaling; and senior students to create advanced music and art.
The results
Administrators, faculty and parents at Punahou believe that the Mac has transformed the curriculum, extending the school's long history of innovative excellence. It has made teachers become even more efficient facilitators of learning. And it helps keep students more engaged and makes them more capable of expressing their learning than ever before.
"I'm no longer standing in front of a room, putting information on a blackboard and lecturing," says Year 7 teacher Sandy Chang. "Instead, I'll put a question out there, and the students know how to look for the answer. They open up their Macs and get the information. And because the learning is interactive, it keeps them more focused, more interested and more motivated."

Player Management International Media Release
Homestead, FL (November 16, 2014) – After turning in four strong weeks of racing, Casey Mears and Germain Racing entered Homestead looking to close out the 2014 season in strong fashion. In just their second year of full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition, the GEICO team wrapped up the season with one top-5 finish, three top-10's, nine top-15's and 16 top-20's. Sunday's Ford EcoBoost 400 complemented their stats when Mears hustled to a 20th place finish.
Practice got off to a slow start when Mears and his No. 13 GEICO Chevrolet SS ended up 31st on the scoring chart at the close of the first practice on Friday. Qualifying would show incremental improvement when he navigated the 1.5-mile paved oval in 30.390-seconds at a speed of 177.690-miles per hour, landing him 29th on Sunday's starting grid. Crew chief Bootie Barker and the Germain Racing engineering staff remained hard at work over the course of the weekend looking for speed that would increase their chances of success on race day.
A late start time of 3 PM (ET) would present teams with the challenge of starting the race in bright sunshine and finishing in cooler temperatures under a dark sky. Changing track conditions kept the GEICO crew on their toes as they adapted as the race progressed. Mears and his GEICO Chevy rolled off of the starting grid from the 29th position when the green flag started the final race of the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
The early part of the race saw Mears battling a loose condition that would plague him until sunset. On lap 35, he radioed to Barker that he was "crazy loose". Finding himself two laps down to the field, Mears began to hustle as the clouds overtook the speedway. On lap 85, he was in the 28th position and said, "The track is cooling off with the cloud cover, so it's turning better. The adjustments we made on that last stop were in the right direction." He was running in the 26th position when he briefly fell victim to loose handling again on lap 126: "I'm too loose. I just can't go. I'm loose in, loose off." The team worked on the car during each pit stop and did it in prompt fashion, as Mears would gain positions multiple times on pit road.
The No. 13 GEICO Chevrolet SS returned to the lead lap on lap 223. Barker reminded Mears that he was now on the lead lap and to "get all you can get." He did just that, as he hustled into the top-20 and looked solid as the race entered the final few miles. A handful of caution flags in the closing laps kept everyone on edge, but Mears held on and crossed the finish line in the 20th position, accounting for the team's 16th top-20 finish of the 2014 season. Homestead concludes a five-week stretch of strong runs and, more importantly, a solid season that saw the team make improvements at tracks that previously caused them headaches. Notably, Germain Racing is credited with just a single 'Did Not Finish' (DNF) in 2014, a feat accomplished by very few teams.
"The guys did a really good job this weekend and we worked hard to get the GEICO Chevy handling better and it seemed to come to us when the cloud cover set in," Mears said. "It's nice to be able to wrap up the season on a strong note and get a top-20 finish at a racetrack that has been tough on us in the past. It's been a strong season and we've made a lot of progress on these intermediate tracks, which is a good sign as we get ready for the 2015 season." He added, "I want to thank GEICO, KMC Wheels, Castrol, Caymus and all of our partners for their support this year. And, I can't thank our owner Bob Germain enough for the investment he's made in the team. This is only our second full season of racing, so I'm proud of what we've accomplished, so far. Each year we get better, so we're looking forward to getting to Daytona in February and getting the 2015 season started."
Mears and the GEICO Racing team will get to enjoy the upcoming holiday season at home before traveling to Daytona Beach, FL, for the Daytona 500 on Sunday, February 22, 2015.

Music, rides, games highlight Naperville's Last Fling celebration
The first days of school, the final days of August and the Last Fling in Naperville all signal one thing: The end of summer.
It can be a bittersweet time for anyone who loves warm weather or hates homework, but members of the Naperville Jaycees make it a time to celebrate with its annual festival, this year spanning four days from Friday, Aug. 30, to Monday, Sept. 2.
The event boasts free admission to a family area, carnival and business expo with several eating contests, races for humans and dogs, and local musical performers.
A main stage featuring headliners Jerrod Niemann, the Goo Goo Dolls and Collective Soul is the only aspect of the festival with an admission fee, but beverage tickets will be required for alcohol purchases for the first time this year.
This year's Family Fun Land at Naper Settlement includes even more to do in one area, Last Fling spokeswoman Karen Coleman said, offering families a few last opportunities to celebrate summer.
Here is a sampling of activities planned for this year's Fling:
Even before the Jaycees announced Saturday's headlining act, they were predicting a sellout. The Goo Goo Dolls will take the stage at 8 p.m. after performing at Ravinia earlier this summer, ready to play songs from their long list of hits over the past 20 years.
Touring to promote their latest album, "Magnetic," the band behind hits such as "Name," "Iris," "Slide," and "Black Balloon" was chosen to appeal to a broad group of listeners in the Naperville area who may have fond memories of hearing 1990s hits during their school years, Coleman said.
Collective Soul returns to the Last Fling to perform at 8 p.m. Sunday, and country artist Jerrod Niemann takes the stage at 8:30 p.m. Friday.
Niemann tickets cost $10, Goo Goo Dolls admission is $20 and Collective Soul tickets cost $15. Admission to all three shows still is available, and Last Fling Executive Director Bill Eagan said he suggests buying tickets online at lastfling.org in advance of possible sellouts.
For those looking for free performances, the entertainment stage offers a variety of local performers, including the "Singin' at the Fling" talent contest at noon Saturday.
Family Fun Land
Families with young children can enjoy a carnival, concessions, a petting zoo, a coldblooded creatures attraction and free acts on the entertainment stage, including performances by McNulty Irish Dancers, World Champion Tae Kwon Do and School of Rock-Naperville -- all without leaving Family Fun Land at Naper Settlement.
Actress Peyton List, star of "Jessie" and "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," will be on-site for a free meet-and-greet from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday for anyone who has picked up a wristband beginning at 10 a.m. Friday at the main entrance to Family Fun Land, 523 S. Webster St.
The area also features one of the Last Fling's two business expos, where kids will be able to build Legos or visit the Radio Disney Road Crew.
Racing Big Wheels, beds or even babies; speed-eating spaghetti, apple pie or ice cream; tossing horseshoes, slam-dunking on mini-basketball hoops, even competing with a pooch in disc-tossing and agility contests are among options for Last Fling attendees who like a challenge.
Contests are scheduled at various times from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Sunday throughout the festival, which includes parts of Jackson Avenue, Naper Settlement and Rotary Hill at the foot of the Millennium Carillon in Moser Tower. The Last Fling also includes a sand volleyball tournament, a rib cook-off, bingo for people ages 55 and older and a soccer shootout.
Many of the events -- like the eating contests, soccer shootout, horseshoe toss, slam dunk contest and bingo -- are informal, with registration 15 or 30 minutes before the challenge begins.
"We still have our pie-eating and spaghetti-eating contests," Coleman said. "It gets pretty wild."
Business and charity
Aside from the business expo in Family Fun Land at Naper Settlement, another business expo will occupy parts of Jackson Avenue. Street teams will be offering giveaways and marketing their products to festival goers as part of the Last Fling's homage to Labor Day, Coleman said.
"It is a great way for local businesses, especially since it's Labor Day weekend, to get out there and market and get faces in front of everyone," she said.
The Fling also supports local nonprofit groups and clubs by paying volunteers from those groups for the time they spend helping the event run smoothly. With more than 1,000 volunteers each year, Eagan said the Jaycees donate back to Naperville-area causes fighting domestic violence or hunger, or working to improve concert halls or other public amenities.
"Labor Day is about celebrating the workforce in Naperville," Coleman said. "We love supporting Naperville-area businesses and corporations and nonprofits as much as we can."
Getting there
Coleman admits parking can be a bit tricky for the Fling, but she said shuttles and nearby paid parking are available.
Visitors can park throughout downtown Naperville or pay to park at Naperville Central High School, 440 W. Aurora Ave.
Shuttles will run between free parking locations at All Saints Catholic Academy, 1155 Aurora Ave., North Central College and the Naperville Metra Station about every 30 minutes from 6 to 11 p.m. Friday, 4 to 11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and 1 to 6 p.m. Monday.
People with disabilities can park at Rotary Hill, 443 Aurora Ave.; the lower level of the Naperville municipal center, 400 S. Eagle St.; Centennial Beach, 500 W. Jackson Ave.; and the Naper Settlement chapel parking lot along Aurora Avenue.

Arctic vagabonds: French family makes home on polar yacht
By Eoghan Macguire, for CNN • Updated 1st February 2013
View Gallery
10 Pictures
Raising a young family while juggling a career is a tough act to master at the best of times.
Doing so aboard a 15-meter yacht, hemmed in by the thick ocean ice of one of the harshest environments on earth must surely complicate matters a whole lot more.
But Eric Brossier wouldn't have it any other way.
The French oceanographer and his wife, France, have spent the past eight winters happily recording scientific data across the northern polar-regions while living aboard a specially equipped yacht fittingly called
Le Vagabond.
Since 2007, the couple have been accompanied by their eldest daughter, Leonie (now six) and, since 2009, her younger sister Aurora (now three).
"It's not an ordinary life," he explained from the lower deck of the vessel-come-family home. "Outside is minus 27 degrees and we won't see the sun for at least a few more weeks.
Click map to enlarge
"[But we] love the wildlife, the mountains, sailing in between the ice, the mix of pack ice drifting with icebergs next to glaciers," he added.

Brossier has carried out a raft of seasonal studies near the remote island of Spitsbergen, Norway, and around coastal Greenland in recent years.
Polar bears, walruses and an array of spectacular arctic creatures have proved more regular company than people during these trips, which can last between six months and a year at a time.
This year, however, the family headed further west and dropped anchor outside the remote Inuit town of Grise Fiord in the Canadian Arctic.
The trip marks the first time they have set up camp close to a human settlement.
"The main reasons we decided to come here this winter was so that our eldest daughter could go to school and our youngest daughter could socialize with other kids her own age," Brossier said.
"Without kids we'd probably live a couple of kilometers further out just to feel nature a little bit more.
"Still, the town only has a population of around 120 people and we can head out if we wish on snow mobile or with dogs," he added.

Although Grise Fiord represents the most northerly civilian settlement in North America, Brossier explains that the town is still privy to the comforts of contemporary western life.
Homes have central heating, running water and access to the internet, with Facebook being one of the most popular modes of communication -- a far cry from the spartan existence of Inuit communities in Greenland and northern Russia.
Yet these modern trappings provide the Brossiers with a happy medium between the Arctic wilderness the family so adores, suitable schooling facilities and viable long-term research work.
Brossier says his current assignment is based around the earth's changing climate. He is paid to measure the thickness of the winter ice, ocean currents and weather patterns in and around Grise Fiord for research institutions in Toronto and Vancouver.
In previous years however, he has acted as a guide for television and documentary crews.
"We decide where to go according to the job offered to us or the measurements we have to take," he said.
"If we can find such projects in the future that meet our work needs and the needs of our children then we may be able to carry on for five or ten years," he added.
But while enthusiastic about adventures the future may hold, Brossier is aware that others -- especially those with young children -- may find his nomadic lifestyle in the Arctic chill less than appealing.
He admits there are things he misses from time to time but would advise any avid scientist, sailor or adventurer keen to experience the far north to set sail and experience it for themselves.

"We miss our friends and families and when we go back to France for a few weeks every year that is what we like to see first," he said. "So is sitting in the sun and eating some French cheese and fresh fruit.
"But we don't miss it all that much. If we really missed something too much we wouldn't have been able to carry this life for such a long time."

Who rolls on the confusion chart?
If you read it, it sounds like the power user is the one who rolls but it can be argued against I assume so I'm trying to get a clear answer.
I ask because if the power user gets to roll it he can use probability control to affect the outcome.
