Philippine Air Lines and a host of low cost carriers have ambitious expansion plans. Unfortunately, the country's airport infrastructure may not be sufficient to handle a major increase in traffic. Some domestic and regional airlines are calling this the biggest roadblock to their future plans in the country.

For those who served in the RVAH Community, their families, and friends!
Terry D. Wickland has not received any gifts yet
I'll try to get out again
Terry, It's been a long time. I joined RVAH-11, on the Indy, late summer. 2 days later, Chief Ham sent me mess-cooking for two months. We went to Vietnam, on the Connie, '71-'72, and back to the Med on the JFK in '73. In February '74, I went to B school enroute to VT-23 at Kingsville. During check-in, the leading Chief was Ham .
I want to tell you that you taught me a lot about the aircraft. It helped me for 27years.
Take Care, Jim Johnson
Hi Terry,
i do remember Sanchez, Roberto ha was a disbursing clerk. We were room mates when i had the 60 red chevy in 1968
So many years have passed, thus we would have to chat more so as to become reaquainted

HARTFORD — Connecticut tourism officials will likely seek details from Gov. Dannel P. Malloy about how proposed state funding cuts will affect their industry and the approaching summer tourism season.
Malloy is due to speak today at the annual Connecticut Governor's Conference on Tourism.
Edward Dombroskas, executive director of the Eastern Regional Tourism District, said the governor's budget proposal would significantly alter how Connecticut markets itself. The state's three regional tourism districts could be eliminated.
With steep declines in revenue, Malloy has proposed spending cuts to state parks, social services, libraries and other popular programs. State government faces a projected two-year, approximately $2.5 billion deficit.
Malloy has made tourism and marketing Connecticut a priority among his economic development initiatives.
Dombrosksas says tourism in Eastern Connecticut has grown in each of the past five years.

(KMOX) – While all the lemmings in the golf and sports media are racing off this week to build the Rory McIlroy wing in the Golf Hall of Fame, let me take a moment to react and assess the past weekend.
I think it is great that the 25-year-old Irishman picked up his third major and third leg of the career slam at Hoylake and did it in such an impressive fashion. It is good for the game.
I also think it was noteworthy that there was a mild challenge from two personalities, Ricky Fowler and Sergio Garcia, who made for an entertaining leaderboard. But that is as far as I am willing to go.
This is the third time that McIlroy will have been anointed the next Tiger, and after the first two he proved to be more human than mythical. Let's hope the third time really is the charm. His dominant play was the most impressive we have seen in a major since—four weeks earlier when Martin Kaymer drubbed the field at Pinehurst #2 and the lemmings all started building his HOF wing. Did you notice the German finished two back of Tiger at Royal Liverpool? Halt the construction.
After his round on Sunday, Woods offered his take on what Rory's performance may mean. "When he gets it going, he gets it going. When it gets going bad, it gets going real bad. It's one or the other. If you look at his results, he's kind of that way. Very similar to what Phil does. He has his hot weeks and he has his weeks where he's off. And that's just the nature of how he plays the game." Leave it to Tiger to take out both Phil and Rory in a single paragraph. That part of his game is still sharp.
History says that Sergio is more likely to light up the Ryder Cup in September than Valhalla and the PGA in three weeks. Fowler hits the ball farther, performs well in majors and dresses better on Sunday, but Ricky still is tied with Jordan Spieth in career wins with 'one.'
While the 'new Tiger' was turning the European golf community to teenage girls at a Justin Bieber concert, the old Tiger was saying everything is all right. Forget the fact that at 64 Tom Watson embarrassed Royal Liverpool by coming within shouting distance of shooting his age on a 'major championship course.' It's nice to know that if you have played and practiced the game very little there are consequences (69-77-73-75), and for Tiger it is now 25 majors since he got to fourteen.
Lefty is happy after recovering from missed sainthood at Pinehurst. He didn't successfully repeat his Open win from a year earlier, but he did manage to break par his last three days, closing with a 68. But what pleases Mickelson the most is he looks to have a chance to play his way onto the Ryder Cup team instead of hoping, like Tiger, to be a Captain's choice. (I personally think Captain Watson should guarantee that Woods and Mickelson are on the team, not because of their ability to contribute, but because twenty years from now they will be the only players in the team picture anyone would have heard of.)
I honestly think the story of this major isn't the winner, it is the scoring. What is supposed to set majors apart is the history and the challenge. This past weekend only had half. When a third of the field is under par the first two days and more than half are in red numbers on the weekend (46 at the finish) you might want to think about using a modified Stableford system for scoring to accommodate all the sub par scores.
Yes, I know the weather was atypical for the Open Championship, and the links courses rely on that to build the challenge, but if weather conditions at the Open continue to be as benign as we are seeing more often than not, the Open will be great for British tourism but disappointing for golf history.
At our Open only Kaymer in the top twenty leaders managed to break par on Sunday. At Hoylake virtually everyone in the same grouping put up red numbers. The R&A is hamstrung by century old layouts, largely landlocked from expansion and historically mandated to preserve their design. The steroid juiced ball gives the players an unfair advantage barring some bizarre greenskeeper dialing up a Carnoustie setup to preserve his course. McIlroy all but sealed his win on Sunday with a 357-yard drive at the par 5 16th. Dustin Johnson hit wedge into that same hole for his second shot. These players can't "leap tall buildings in a single bound." They are joyriding on technology.
And I have a solution.
The record book will show that McIlroy won at 17 under par. I would argue his real total was nine under at best. Last week in Liverpool the Fab four were the quartet of par 5's at Hoylake. They should have piped in "Got to Get You into My Life" at holes 5, 10 16 and 18 to echo the thoughts of the players as they played them.
At the 5th there were five times as many under par scores as over par numbers (-175) for the week. At 10 the ratio was close to seven to one (-177) and only two bogeys total on Sunday. The aforementioned 16th was more respectable at just under three to one (-90), but Sunday saw nearly twice as many sub-par scores as pars. The closing 18th came in at less than three to one (-115) with more than twice as many red numbers as pars on Sunday.
This was really a par 70 layout at best and by just adjusting the scorecard the R&A would have given the Championship a sterner look without altering the outcome in the least.
Next year is St. Andrews and adjusting par would be like painting clothing on the figures in the Sistine Chapel, but whether it's golf's new Irish Crown Prince raising the Claret jug in 2015 or some other 'next Tiger,' to this writer the oldest championship in golf will be diminished if par at the Open has become "Yesterday."

Every summer in Megève..
I look forward to the Jazz festival which takes place early July. We always have returning guests who either play in the contest or love to come and watch it, and they have a good reason to!
Over a three-day period numerous talents play throughout the streets of Megève, day and night, in order to win the renowned title. The best part of it all, is that it is completely free! You can walk through the streets and on every corner there is a different group playing – near the Salon de thé, Spaggiari, tourist office, St Paul's… you name it. From 9pm, the big stage in front of the church is set up and the big performances take place for a big crowd.
While I absolutely adore the music which takes place during the contest, my favourite part of the whole thing is the improvisations which take place randomly at bars in the evening. If you are in the right place at right time, you'll come across groups of about 20 musicians all playing together with crowds of people surrounding them.
My colleague and chalet host Fred has been playing the trumpet for years and decided to join in. Being the youngest musician there, he was welcomed into the improvisation and was encouraged to perform many solos. It was amazing to watch somebody with such talent shine in front of a huge crowd! So proud!
Here are a few photos from the contests which took place, and check out our Instagram @chaletantoinemegeve for the videos and to keep up to date with our whereabouts!

When it comes to high quality room filling speakers, Q acoustics stands at the top of the list in most cases. Since the series 1000 it has managed to get a 5 star rating on most of the speakers it produces. The Q 2020i was so popular that it managed to win a lot of awards over time. The main attraction of the Q acoustics speakers come because of the compact design and sturdy, classic yet modern looking body. Not to mention the superb, distortion less audio reproduction. The basic differences in the 3010 and the 3020 models is the power handling capacity and the size, while everything else is quite similar.
Build Quality
It is no doubt that the build quality is going to be excellent on these speakers. Out of the box, you get two nicely packed speaker boxes wrapped in a white plastic bag. The feel heavy and solid thereby giving a premium feel. The edges of the speakers are curved. You will have the choice to choose the finish of the speakers at the time of buying. There is Matte Graphite, American Walnut, Black leather, Black lacquer and White Lacquer. My personal choice would be to go for Matte Graphite finish because I do not like my electronic equipment to be a finger print and dust magnet. A matte finish will help keep finger prints away, although I do like the shiny, glossy look of Black lacquer and white lacquer. American Walnut is completely out of my likings, although for those who want their speakers to have a classic look should definitely consider this finish.
The speaker terminals on the 2000 series were located at the bottom of the body, which was obviously an inconvenient location. The 3000 series has those speaker terminals moved to the rear, a much better location.
The design improvements are mainly done based on the Concept 20 and Concept 40 speakers which kind of stand as a base for 3000 series.Take an example of the non-resonant cabinet design that first featured in the Concept 20 and 40 speakers. It came with dual layer front and top panels that improved on sound quality and prevented distortion in audio. The depth of the cabinet seems to be reduced in comparison with the 2020i speakers. The height and the width remain the same.
Another major change to note in this 3000 series is that the connectivity is no longer biwire. For those audiophiles, this is a bad news, but do not worry because there is something interest up ahead in the sound performance section of this review.
Let us understand why biwire connection is used in the first place. A single wire connection has a single cable carrying all the audio frequencies through it and that drives the speakers. If there is a large amount of bass in your audio, it will distort the treble and that will not be very pleasant. In fact, that would not yield "natural" reproduction of sound. To combat this trouble, the power amplifier driving your speaker unit will use couple of filters to separate out the treble, the mids and the bass. While treble and mids will run over one cable, the bass will run over the other. Eventually, inside your speaker cabinet the treble carrying cable will drive your tweeter, and bass will drive the bass driver. According to Q Acoustics' engineers, having biwire setup requires an extra pair of connectors and that is not really good for maintaining the good acoustic behaviour of the cabinet making them shift over to single wire connectivity. How they manage to eliminate the aforementioned problem will be an interesting thing to look at.
Sound performance
First thing to notice is the concentric ring tweeter which has wide dispersion and low distortion. The distortion arising due to single wire connection is well compensated and eliminated by using this tweeter. Additionally, the bass driver also causes the cabinet to vibrate quite heavily and this can add in to the distortion at higher frequencies by vibrating the tweeter itself since, both drivers are attached in the same cabinet. This problem arises in biwire setup as well and in order to eliminate this problem, engineers isolated the tweeter by suspending it with anti vibration material, mostly butyl rubber. This way, the vibrations and shocks arising from bassy punches are absorbed by the suspending material and reducing high frequency distortion. This clever idea was adopted from the Concept 20 / 40 speakers with minor improvements.
Additionally, the driver cones are made from a better, stronger material which seems to be a combination of paper and mica, they call it Aramid Fibre.
Now speaking of the actual sound performance, 3020 speakers provide a vivid sound stage with clear mids, punchy bass and an interesting emphasis on the instruments. Every little detail in the audio is audible with these speakers. Although, that does not necessarily mean you will always need high bitrate audio. The speakers have an intrinsic characteristic to not enhance anything undesirable making it play low bit rate audio quite well. One can get decent audio from a low quality mp3, but having a better audio source will definitely pay off.
The 3020 and the 3010 both perform equally well, while the 3010 has a higher power output capacity, but the 3020 has a larger size. If we have to compare the two, there is not really any difference that sets them apart greatly.
Both the speakers perform beyond expectations and you can make them sound even better by mounting them on wall bracket. Alternatively, you can place them on your bookshelf, besides your TV or even buy a dedicated stand.
For a sub £300 price point, you are getting extremely high quality, premium looking speakers that will last for years to come. The Q Acoustics 3000 series speakers will definitely bring life to your living room. The reason why 2020i earned so much praise and won so many awards is because of the constant improvements and refinements. The 3020 and 3010 are no exception and are definitely the best speakers on the market you can find today.

A STALYBRIDGE couple are warning holidaymakers to be on their guard after nearly losing £2,000 in a nightmare 'timeshare' deal.
Rosemary and Joseph Bennett were looking forward to a relaxing break when they booked a trip to Benidorm in October 2002.
During the trip, the couple were approached by a holiday company claiming they had won a major prize and promising cheap, hassle-free holidays for life.
Rosemary said: "We were taken to an office and talked to a man who seemed very nice, very friendly and normal and told us exactly what we would be getting for our money.
"The £2,000 was a one-off membership payment. After that the prices were very reasonable and they promised us four star accommodation anywhere we wanted. We could book as many holidays as we liked, so we thought the rest of the family could use it too."
It was only when they returned to their home in Carrbrook Crescent, Stalybridge the pair began to realise something was wrong. The family phoned up several times to book holidays but were quoted more than twice the amount they had been told.
"The company claimed it had stopped arranging the deal the Bennett's had agreed to and became very evasive when they asked for their money back.
Eventually the couple called Tameside's Trading Standards for help and have now been given a full refund from the credit card company they had used to pay out the cash.
"It's great that we have got our money back but it's been really awful. Definitely don't do what we did - it's not worth the risk" said Rosemary.
Trading Standards Manager David Meakin added: "We've seen this kind of thing happening time and time again. No hard sales tactics were used, the couple fell for the sales patter and signed up. Because the transaction took place abroad, using a company based abroad, the couple were not protected."
People can contact Tameside Trading Standards at the council on 342 8355.

Roughing the Passer
It's time for bad-boy quarterback Tyler Harris to put up or shut up—and to win the ring he's been avoiding his whole life.
Two years without a ring on your finger is enough to drive any girl crazy, especially Lavender Gerloch. She loves her bad-boy quarterback, but he only prizes one type of ring—the kind you get from winning the Super Bowl. So it's time to say goodbye.
Tyler Harris hasn't been hit so hard in years. Why would anyone want to ruin a perfectly good relationship by making it official? But Lavender's flight seems to suggest just that, and even worse, his friends' wives have huddled with her to run a game-winning play. Coming is the biggest showdown of his life, and there'll be no refs calling unnecessary roughness. He's down by four. Already he's drifted out of the pocket, Lavender is ducking and weaving, and there'll be only one chance to beat the defense. It will all come down to three…two…one...

I was sorry to learn that it doesn't actually integrate with Canvas at this point in time, so I thought I'd offer this as a suggestion. If there were a seamless way to submit the videos as assignments, that would be awesome! Right now I have to have students download the .mp4, upload it to Google Drive, share it, and post a link to a Canvas Assignment. This is a lot of steps for freshmen... Thanks for considering this!

How to create and manage flexible 5G offers, at scale
One of the main goals of operators investing in 5G networks is to build an ecosystem of partners offering a large variety of IoT and other services on their network. But there is a challenge about how to effectively manage all those offers. The answer is to let the partners create their own offers, while allowing the operator to remain in control. At the recent Mobile World Congress, we were demonstrating how Ericsson Catalog Manager and Ericsson Order Care enable this co-creation process to scale to large numbers of partners.
In this video, Brian Bauer explains how a partner can create its own offers directly in a telecom operator's IT system. The partner can choose pricing, specify the network slice it wants to use, and even define associated devices, all within a template defined by the operator for that partner. This allows the partner to create however many different offers it needs and to modify those offers as its service changes.
As soon as the partner has created its offer, the operator can use Ericsson Catalog Manager to review, approve, and activate the service in minutes. This immediately makes the offer available for the operator's customers to order using Ericsson Order Care.
As you can see in this demo, Ericsson Catalog Manager and Ericsson Order Care help operators to use partner co-creation to offer many new services every day and drive revenue from their 5G investments with a large number of partners while still remaining in full control.
Read on for a step-by-step guide to the video.
Easy for partners to co-create and manage product offerings inside the operator's catalog
For a partner, co-creating a service should be as easy as entering an offering name, pricing it, and selecting the appropriate network service from the operator. In this example, a specific network slice tailored for IoT services was defined together with a selected number of connected sensors.
To make it easy to co-create and manage flexible 5G services as the demo shows, the operator makes a range of different services available to the partner service provider through pre-defined templates.
Easy for operators to review and accept the offer, before making it available to customers
The offer will soon be available inside the operator's product catalog, but only after the acceptance review and approval process. In the demonstration, Brian shows how the operator's marketing manager can quickly see that a new product has been created, open it, and review the configuration parameters including pricing and the added-on SIMs. The marketing manager can then quickly move the project through the project lifecycle, send it off for approval, and activate it for customers.
Easy for customers to find, order, and consume the offering
Once the offering becomes active, the operator's customers can use any self-care app and quickly sign-in, browse the product catalog, view available offers (the Smart Home Gold offering is immediately available), add a service to their shopping cart, and order the service for their consumption.
What do you think?
I would be interested in hearing your own opinions and stories on the topic of how to co-create and manage flexible 5G offerings together with partner eco-systems. Please engage with us on Twitter and LinkedIn or

Update: 8.37am - The 34-year-old man reported missing in remote countryside at Duchess, approximately 105km east of Dajarra, has been located safe and well.
The search in the Richmond area is ongoing.
Earlier today it was reported that police land and air searches were underway in two separate locations in Queensland's north west to try and locate two men who have gone missing, one east of Dajarra and another near Richmond.
At around 11am on Saturday police in the Mount Isa district were contacted after a white 4WD was located abandoned on the Cloncurry-Duchess Road, Duchess.
Their investigations showed that 34-year-old Matthew Ashcroft, from Oxenford, was last seen with the vehicle in Mount Isa on the afternoon of Thursday, November 28.
When it was discovered on Saturday morning it had run out of fuel and police fear Mr Ashcroft may have walked off into the harsh and remote terrain, which is currently experiencing very high temperatures.
The nearest town is approximately 100km away and the nearest station around 80km away.
Police are also investigating whether Mr Ashcroft contacted anyone to arrange a lift.
A search on Saturday involving police and a helicopter failed to locate him, and was continuing on Sunday morning, with police, SES and helicopter support.
Meanwhile, a 4WD vehicle found abandoned on a cattle property 75km west of Richmond last Wednesday, November 27, has sparked a land and air search for 25-year-old Trent Grose.
The vehicle, which had a flat battery, was located by a station owner in an isolated area on the property and police surmise it had been there for several days before it was found.
After being notified of the abandoned vehicle and making enquiries, police believe Mr Grose was the driver. They understand he last had contact with friends around two weeks ago.
Police hold fears for his welfare as the area is remote and experiencing high temperatures.
Mr Grose, who has previously worked on rural properties in central Queensland, did not work at this property.
Searches on Saturday involving police and two helicopters failed to locate Mr Grose and searches resumed on Sunday morning with police, SES, local station personnel and equipment, as well as helicopter support.
Mr Grose is described as caucasian, approximately 195cms tall, with a proportionate build, short brown hair and blue eyes.
Anyone who has any information that can assist in locating either Mr Ashcroft or Mr Grose is urged to contact police or ring 131 444.

Name: Travis Adams
Player: dragonwielder
Description: Travis is a surprisingly good looking Caucasian fellow, despite being undead. Mostly because the thing keeping him undead is more magic based than infection or science. He has pale skin, and an athletic build one would expect from a soldier. He has eyes with irises that always glow a green teal, and grey hair that always seems to be on the messy side. He looks to be in his late twenties or early thirties, and seems to have a big boss-ish scruff on.
Demeanor: Travis is a calm individual that tends to have some wisdom about him from his many years. He likes to sometimes hit people with philosophical questions. He is not surprised or scared by much, considering he doesn't have anything to lose. He tends to be a bit sarcastic, and enjoys cutting people open a bit more than he should. In the end of the day, Travis just wants to help, it's what he was trained to do after all.
- Body
- Strength: 18
- Agility: 18
- Endurance: 17
- Mind
- Knowledge: 8
- Wisdom: 9
- Perception: 11
- Soul
- Charisma: 6
- Will: 8
- Luck: 5
Original HP: 32
- Max HP: 32 (Original HP - Major Wounds)
- Major Wounds: (Damage Taken as Major Wounds. Put both the wound, date, and the HP taken.)
- Current HP: 32 (Max HP - Minor Wounds)
Attack (melee): 18
Attack (range): 10
Defense (phys): 17
Defense (dodge): 14
- Travis is an undead being. He can't really die, well, he can. But it's really hard to pull off. Not to mention that he has seen the equivalent of world war two with wizards, steampunk machines, and all manners of war horrors that would appear in those situations, except this world war two lasted about 300 years. There isn't much out there that can scare him. (Bonus against resisting intimidation)
- He's an undead, which means he won't die no matter what happens. Which allows him to charge into battle without fear of serious injury, and the most dangerous kind of person is the kind that has nothing to lose. (Bonus to MLE when charging into or being amongst a group of enemies.)
- [HEALING: 8] During his service in the horribly long war, he spent his time as a combat medic. He has a lot of experience in both healing magic, steampunk healing machinery, and normal healing methods. He's the best when it comes to patching up any wounds. He can even use magic to reattach limbs!
- Travis…Is an undead. That means, if he is hit hard enough, a limb is going to come off. If he fails a defense roll bad enough, he loses a limb and is unable to use it for the rest of the mission. The limb is reattached after the mission ends. (If his defense roll result is below 4, he loses the body part that is hist. All Agi rolls are at a disadvantage until all limbs are reatatched)
- Travis's body depends on the magical energy flowing through it. Without it, he will fall into a coma until the energy is restored. (Disadvantage to End when in areas with low or absent magical energy)
-Two-way radio
-A steampunk style rifle
-A steampunk style pistol
-Elemental magically charged gun ammunition
- Cutlass (Also steampunk style)
-Medical books and medical spell books
-strange steampunk style machines that have various medical uses
Talent: Due to the magical energy flowing through his body, Travis is able to heal most wounds if he concentrates hard enough. He can take one turn to concentrate and heal all minor wounds. This will also reattach any lost limbs. This ability can only be used 3 times per run.
Backfire: Sometimes, the magical energy can have a negative reaction as it tries to heal the wounds. This results in Spontaneous combustion. He literally explodes. He is out of play for two turns, as it takes two turns for his body to pull back together.
History: Travis' life began a bit before the 300 year war of Zekoni, his homeworld. He was born exactly 24 years before the war. When the war began, he was drafted into service to fight. During the war, he was trained to be a combat medic, and use the machinery, methods, and magic that come with being in the occupation. He also received training in the art of combat. Specifically with a blade pistol and a cutlass. It was around year 4 into the war that things went wrong for him. Really wrong. The enemy was testing a new weapon that threatened to destroy he and all his comrades. It was a reactor that would send out a blast of energy, killing those nearby. Travis found this, and proceeded to sacrifice himself, going out into a blaze of glory for his comrades by stabbing the reactor. It was the most painful thing he had felt in his life, and nothing has ever compared since then. He felt all the energy from the reactor flowing into him… and then, he exploded. After that, he felt nothingness itself, and only darkness. A while later, he found himself awake again, almost as if his body had literally pulled itself back together from the gory paste that it was before. Not only that, but he could feel the magical energy flowing through his body like never before, and his hair had gone a dark grey. He found that his people had won the battle thanks to him, and he proceeded to become a significant leader in the war, even if people had no idea how he survived that fateful day. The war went on, over time, he had to pretend to be his own descendants in order to keep his secret. All the while, his skills improved, and his power allowed him to improve to an inhuman level. Things were going ok, 300 years went by. Then, it happened. He found that the enemy had remade it. The very machine that had given him his power 300 years ago. Now, instead of threatening to destroy an army, it had been upgraded. Now with the power to destroy nations. He knew what he had to do, he sent his best men to set a distraction, and went himself to end the destructive machine. Before Travis could make it to the power source, the machine was activated.

The 31st General Assembly of the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM), which coincides with the 60th anniversary of the Centre, will be launched at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday the 30th October 2019 at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy. The event will conclude on Thursday the 31st of October 2019.
The two-day event will focus on the most relevant issues and topics of concern on cultural heritage promotion and provide a platform to stimulate dialogue on sustainable approaches for the protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage in the world.
Delegations of ICCROM's 137 Member States will meet to discuss and enhance the agency's strategic directions and work plan, and review its activities for the past biennium 2018-2019. It will elect its new governing Council. The event will also be an opportunity to welcome ICCROM' newest Member State, Costa Rica.
A Thematic Discussion on "Decolonizing Heritage" will be held as part of the 31st General Assembly on 31 October 2019. The ICCROM Award Ceremony, which is granted to individuals who have contributed significantly to ICCROM's development, or who have special merit in the field of conservation, protection and restoration of cultural heritage, will also be given on 31 October 2019.
In a statement on the occasion of the 31st General Assembly, Webber Ndoro, ICCROM's Director-General, expressed his thanks and appreciation for the continuous support and collaboration of all Member States in the implementation of the programmes and activities of ICCROM. "The generous contribution of the Member States of ICCROM is the main pillar of the success of all projects and programmes implemented by ICCROM in many parts of the world", said Ndoro.
"A special thank-you goes to the host country, Italy, which embraced the center since its creation and continues to provide generous support to ICCROM's projects and activities all over the world", added Ndoro. Italy is a major contributor to the budget of ICCROM and has institutional long-standing scientific and technical partnerships, which contribute significantly to the organization. "We truly hope to further our collaboration and to develop an agreement with the Italian partner to support common actions aimed at protecting and improving cultural and natural heritage in Africa and other parts of the world", said Ndoro in his statement.
The 31st General Assembly marks sixty years of ICCROM's activities. For decades, ICCROM has partnered with its Member States to support them in safeguarding heritage within their borders and beyond. Working at the international and governmental levels, and with institutions and professionals on the ground, the organization engages and informs new generations of professionals and the general public on the current and future needs of the preservation and conservation of cultural heritage.
"Over the course of sixty years, ICCROM has developed and adopted its programmes and activities to address new challenges and to meet the evolution of the very concept of cultural heritage which, in addition to going beyond national boundaries, has to deal with new issues and risks caused by the effects of climate change, devastating wars and conflicts and neglect by human actions" said Ndoro.
"Sustainable development is also a key objective of ICCROM, particularly in some regions, such as Africa. This includes supporting entrepreneurship opportunities and assuring access to quality education in a more general context of gender equality", Ndoro added. In this regard, ICCROM has launched a new long-term regional initiative in Africa that focuses mainly on youth and engages them in caring for heritage – its conservation, resilience, management and promotion on cultural preservation.

lilinas: daydverse: The German Ice Dancing team's short…
The German Ice Dancing team's short program last night was done to Chris Colfer's cover of "Le Jazz Hot" from Glee.
Originally a song sung by beloved gay icon Julie Andrews in the movie Victor/Victoria wherein she plays a woman who passes as a man to work as a drag queen. In this version sung by an openly gay actor/singer playing an openly gay character on the gayest show on broadcast network TV while dressed like this:
I'm really enjoying this game of "how much gay can we squeeze into this Olympics to REALLY piss off Putin."
Germany's totally winning.

Smashing the crystal ball
In the Aug. 29 issue of Sports Illustrated, staff writer Jacob Feldman looked into his crystal ball and predicted on a game-by-game basis how the Browns would finish the 2016 season.
After the first 11 of the 16 games, Feldman is perfect. In other words, he correctly foresaw the Browns losing every one of them. He also foresaw them not quite equaling the winless season of the 2008 Detroit Lions.
When he predicted the Browns would finish with a 1-15 record, he drew the ire of many members of Browns Nation. Surely this young team would accidentally bump into at least a victory or three along the way.
Even your humble blogger, known for his pessimistic outlook on just about everything Browns, thought he saw three victories in what should be considered a stretch even for him. I mistakenly believed (hoped?) they would split their first four games.
So when Feldman, after a thorough evaluation of the 2016 edition of the Browns, reached his conclusion and decided one was the magic victory number, curiosity arose as to which team would help the Browns avoid infamous history.
Hard to believe, but he selected the Browns' opponent Sunday in Cleveland, the New York Giants, as that team. As in the 7-3 New York Giants. As in the New York Giants, who have won their last five games (four of them at home).
Now Feldman most likely did not expect the Giants to be 7-3 and challenging the Dallas Cowboys for the NFC East lead at this point of the season. If he had been that prescient, he most certainly would not have tabbed them as the Browns' only victim this season.
Not sure, of course, which team among the final four would have received that dubious honor, but that is moot considering Feldman's leap of faith in the Browns against the Giants last August.
These two teams developed quite a rivalry when the Browns joined the National Football League in 1950 and played numerous memorable games with the Giants in the then 12-team league, meeting each other twice a season.
Perhaps the most famous was the second 1958 game at Yankee Stadium in a snowstorm. The Browns held a one-game lead over the Giants in the NFL East Division. A tie or victory and they would have played the Baltimore Colts for the league championship.
With the game tied at 10-10 and the Giants facing a fourth-and-long with 2:07 left in regulation and the ball somewhere just outside the Cleveland 40-yard line, Giants coach Jim Lee Howell called on placekicker Pat Summerall – yes, that Pat Summerall – to save the season.
Summerall, who had missed an earlier attempt from 33 yards through the mini blizzard, did not miss this time from what was officially listed as 49 yards. They had to guess because the yard markers were obliterated on the snow-covered field.
Said Summerall after the game, "No one knows how far it had to go, but it was more than 50 I'll tell you that." The victory required a playoff game between the two teams, which the Giants won, 10-0, the following week in New York.
That Giants went on to play the Colts in what has been labeled the greatest football game ever played, the 23-17 classic climaxed by Baltimore fullback Alan Ameche's iconic scoring run from one yard out in the NFL's first overtime game.
On the coaching staff of that Giants team were offensive coordinator Vince Lombardi and defensive coordinator Tom Landry, both of whom became iconic head coaches whose busts reside in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
But that was then and this is now.
The two teams have met 50 times overall since 1950, the Browns owning a 27-21-2 record. However, they have met only nine times since 1969 and just four times since the Browns were reborn in 1999, mainly because they belong to different conferences and meet only once every four years.
This season's Giants, the only team to knock off the Cowboys this season, are accustomed to playing close games. Their seven victories have been by one, three, four, seven, five, one and six points. They have lost by two, 14 and seven points.
For most of the first half of the season, the Giants were a one-dimensional team on offense. With running back Rashad Jennings unavailable for three games because of an injured thumb, it was quarterback Eli Manning, a solid group of receivers and not much else.
It wasn't difficult to game-plan against them. Shut down Manning and your chances of winning increased. But Jennings is back now despite lingering soreness in his left thumb and running well, having gained 172 yards in his last two games.
The offensive balance new coach Ben McAdoo had envisioned this season is finally beginning to pay off. It makes the receiving corps of Odell Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz and Sterling Shepard that much more dangerous against a Cleveland secondary that has seriously underperformed this season.
Beckham and Shepard have combined for 1.295 receiving yards and 11 of Manning's 17 scoring passes. The pass-to-run ratio, which tilted heavily in favor of the forward pass in Jennings' absence, is starting to skew a lot closer to 55-45 now that he is back.
Where the Giants have problems is maintaining possession of the football, averaging only 27 minutes a game. A lot of that is due to the minus-7 turnover ratio, caused in part by Manning's 10 interceptions.
The Giants' defense has been the saving grace. The secondary averages a pick a game with strong safety Landon Collins leading the way with half of them, one a pick-6. He also leads the team in tackles and solo tackles and has three sacks.
Along the defensive line, which most likely will give the Cleveland offensive line problems all afternoon, look for ends Jason Pierre-Paul and Olivier Vernon (each with four sacks) to harass Cleveland quarterback Josh McCown early and often. Pierre-Paul should have a big day against Cleveland offensive tackle Austin Pasztor.
Because the Giants with the one exception have played tight games this season, there is no reason to believe the Browns can't hang in there with them for at least a half Sunday and give Feldman some hope of being correct.
But (and there is always a but with this team) the Browns will spoil that by doing what they have done so alarmingly often in the second half of games this season: Disappear.
After battling to a 7-7 tie in the first 30 minutes, the Cleveland defensive line will collapse against a good Giants offensive line and the visitors will pull away behind Jennings and the Manning-Beckham connection, which will account for three touchdowns.
So it looks as though Feldman's perfect record of picking the Browns' wins and losses correctly this season will come to an end. But the Browns' losing streaks will not, reaching 12 in a row this season, 15 straight overall and 22 of the last 23. Make it:
Giants 28, Browns 7 (Correction from initial post)

So, as I strolled down the soup and bean aisle at Central Market, I saw them: raspberry Jeffrey Campbell flats with playful pom-pom fringe at the toe. Smitten! I HAD to ask the adorable girl wearing them where she found such treasure. "Shoe Gypsy on Park Hill" she cooed with a smile. Truth be told, I've never driven down Park Hill except to get a gyro at the Greek House, and now that I'm vegetarian, I haven't been there in ages!
Now I had to make a proper introduction, as I was practically drooling over this poor girl's shoes…in the grocery store no less. Her name is Stephanie and her outfit was just as adorable as her shoes. It exuded effortless chic, the best kind no doubt, the kind of chicness that whispers, "I am so stylish, I don't even have to think about it. It just comes naturally to me." Well, we aren't all so lucky, and some of us do try too hard, but I must say, Ms. Stephanie's ensemble struck just the right notes of casual-cool-quirkiness with a side of sass, and that, my friends, ain't easy to do.
So here's to you, Stephanie, oh-thread-conscious-one. Well done. Well done.

Fashionably yours,

A. An oral surgeon is a dentist that performs many aspects of surgery in and about the head area including wisdom tooth removal. They can perform simple to extremely difficult extractions, such as wisdom teeth extraction. They also perform dental biopsies and remove tumors in the head and neck region. Most place implants in the jaw for future restorations and do complex jaw realignment surgeries. They usually have four or more years of continuing education after graduating dental school, and most limit their practice to only oral surgery.
A. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is the specialty of dentistry that includes diagnosis, surgical, and adjunctive treatment of diseases, injuries, and defects involving both the functional and esthetic aspects of the head, face, mouth, teeth, gums, jaws, and neck. An example of oral surgery would be extracting an impacted wisdom tooth or even extracting multiple impacted wisdom teeth.
A. Wisdom teeth are third molars. Normally people have three permanent molars that develop in each quadrant of the mouth; upper, lower, right and left. The first molars usually grow into the mouth at around six years of age. The second molars grow in at around age 12.
The third molars, wisdom teeth, usually will try to grow in at around age 18 to 20 years. Since that is considered to be the age when people become wiser, third molars gained the nickname, "wisdom teeth".
Actually, wisdom teeth are no different than any other tooth except that they are the last teeth to erupt, or grow into the mouth. Wisdom teeth are just as useful as any other tooth if they grow in properly, have a proper bite relationship, and have healthy gum tissue around them.
A. Wisdom teeth cause problems because the shape of the modern human mouth may be too small to accommodate these teeth. As a result, they become impacted, or unable to come in or move into their proper place.
When wisdom teeth are prevented from erupting into the mouth properly, they are referred to as impacted. Teeth that have not erupted are not necessarily impacted. It may be that it is still too early in someone's dental development, and if time passes they might grow in properly. A dentist must examine a patient's mouth and his or her x-rays to determine if the teeth are impacted or will not grow in properly.
Impacted wisdom teeth may cause problems. Impacted wisdom teeth can result in infection, decay of adjacent teeth, gum disease or formation of a cyst or tumor from the follicle, which is the tissue which formed the crown of the tooth. Many dentists recommend removal of impacted wisdom teeth to prevent potential problems.
A. Partially erupted wisdom teeth are breeding grounds for bacteria and germs that may cause infection, and cysts and tumors may grow on a trapped wisdom tooth. Jaw pain and gum disease may occur.
Partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause problems with the teeth in front of them, such as decay, bone loss, or root resorption. Any soft tissue which may is partially covering them is subject to infection. Again, if any of your wisdom teeth are partially erupted, you may want to carefully consider extraction. Not all wisdom teeth cause problems.
Any tooth has the potential to become impacted - that is, emerge in some oddball direction that crowds other teeth. But the most famous culprits are third molars, the last-to-emerge wisdom teeth.
Not many mouths can accommodate an impacted wisdom tooth, let alone, teeth. They often wind up pressing against their neighbors, ultimately pressuring the rest of the teeth to disrupt their alignment.
That's not a wise thing to let happen.
Wisdom teeth get your attention when they cause pain and swelling. Routine X-rays, beginning around age 12, alert your dentist to potential problems before a wisdom tooth starts getting disruptive. X-rays can let you know whether those mighty molars must go with oral surgery.

Two sister dailies have delivered an 11,000 signature-strong petition aimed at saving 350 jobs in the region they serve.
As previously reported on HTFP, the Norwich Evening News and Eastern Daily Press are campaigning against plans by drinks giant Britvic to close its manufacturing plant in Norwich, where Unilever also produces Colman's Mustard.
The proposal has put 350 jobs at risk and threatens to end a 200-year association between Colman's and Norwich.
Despite travelling from Norwich to Hemel Hempstead, and then Leatherhead, on Tuesday to deliver the petition to the UK offices of Britvic and Unilever respectively, only press officers would meet with the newspapers' representatives.
David Powles, editor-in-chief of both titles, said: "It is a shame that no senior executives from Britvic or Unilever could meet our reporters to receive the petition which thousands of people have taken the time to sign.
"There is a huge amount of support within the city and across the county to keep both factories open. Not only are they an important part of Norfolk's heritage, they also employ hundreds of people.
"We can only hope that those who will ultimately decide the future of both sites will read through some of the comments left on the petition to understand how much of an impact these closures will have on the city."
Britvic and Unilever said the petition coupons, which were signed and returned by readers, would be looked at.

Other doormats are silent, but offer an exchange to you, as a guest, invited or uninvited: you can clean the soles of your shoes, to rid you of any unwanted refuse that might stick to your feet. An exchange of honour takes place: you can avoid disgrace in you host's home, while your host can avoid the disgrace of a dirty home. Doormats remind us of the dignity and meaning we can find in giving every guest the warm welcome they deserve.

The massive mountain of problems facing our world today can be extremely overwhelming. As we witness war, global warming, terrorism, discrimination, crime, poverty, hunger, disease, sex trafficking, pollution, and a whole host of other evils, we often feel helpless. I know that in the past I have caught myself thinking, "How could I possibly make a difference? I am just one person, a tiny grain of sand on a huge beach, a single star in a sky of billions." While this pattern of thought is natural, it is dangerous because it leads to inaction; which then leads to no progress and more harm. For example, if a quarterback stops trying in the middle of a football game because he believes that it was impossible to beat the other team, his team will certainly lose, and his teammates will feel disheartened. In reality, every person has an ability and a duty to make an impact.
Throughout history, motivated individuals have shown that it is possible to tackle big challenges and change the world. For example, in the early first century, Paul of Tarsus traveled over 10,000 miles to spread Christianity rapidly throughout the largely polytheistic Roman Empire, where the persecution of Christians was legal and common. In the late 1700s, George Washington helped form and lead the United States of America, setting precedents that still affect this unique, free nation today. During WWII, Alan Turing worked tirelessly to break the extremely complex Nazi Enigma code, helping the Allies win the war and pioneering the modern computer in the process. And in the mid 1900s, Martin Luther King Jr. nonviolently advanced the Civil Rights Movement and played a key role in achieving equality in a country full of relentless racism.
It is evident that all of the people above made a difference when faced with overwhelming obstacles, and today, many others are following in their footsteps. For instance, Rachel Zelon, a driven American woman, co-founded and now helps lead Hunger Relief International, an organization that has provided over 7 million meals for people all around the world and taught community members how to grow their own food. Betty Makoni, a Zimbabwean gender activist, created the Girl Child Network, which has saved over 7,000 girls from abuse, child labor, and sex trafficking. And bartender Doc Hendley created and now runs a program called Water to Wine, which has helped communities in Cambodia, Africa, and Peru build hundreds of water wells. These are just a few examples of hundreds that demonstrate how people are currently changing the world around them for the better. Now, it's your turn!
I know what you are most likely thinking: "I could never do what these people have done. They are the exception, and I am just a normal person." However, it is important to realize that most of these influential individuals were once "normal people" too. None of them probably ever dreamed of making such a difference in the world, but they worked hard towards their goals, and eventually they accomplished what had seemed impossible before.
It is also important to recognize that everything in the world is interconnected. Thus, directly impacting the life of just one person can lead to a domino effect, in which your actions indirectly influence hundreds or even thousands of people. For instance, helping a friend study every night may help her get a degree in secondary education. Then, as a biology teacher, she could inspire a student to be a doctor. Someday, that doctor may save a patient from cancer, and as a result, that patient could become a motivational speaker, giving hope and encouragement to thousands of other cancer patients. Sound a little far-fetched? Just think about someone in your own life who has impacted you a lot. I will use my youth leader, Jenny, who encouraged me to go on my first mission trip, as an example. Without her, my faith, which is the very core of who I am, would be nowhere near as strong as it is right now. After you have come up with your own influential person, ponder who affected that individual's identity and journey. I know that Jenny was greatly affected by the previous youth leader at my church, whom she volunteered with. In fact, if it hadn't been for the previous leader's kindness and mentoring, Jenny most likely wouldn't have taken over the position. The connections stretch endlessly in many directions: I will end up impacting others due to my strengthened faith, and many people influenced the previous youth leader before she even came into Jenny's life. If just one person was removed from the web of connections, nothing would be quite the same. Ultimately, you make a much more profound impact than you often realize! Therefore, making a difference isn't as hard as it may seem.
Hopefully, I have convinced you of the fact that you can make a difference in the world, but the question still remains: how can you do this? Well, first it is important to realize that in order to make a difference you don't have to do anything extremely grand or revolutionary like the historic figures I mentioned earlier (though it is possible if you put your mind to it). You could be the one who encourages the next Martin Luther King Jr. of the world or the one who comes up with great ideas behind the scenes. In fact, you could even change the world of just one person, and your role would be no less important. Overall the key to making a difference involves loving others in every situation, setting challenging goals, and working hard towards one's goals. For those of you who are religious, it is also important to trust God and to remember that with Him, anything is possible! If you do these things, I am certain that you will make a positive impact on the world! So, what are you waiting for?
