Yamoussoukro ©Guillaume Mignot
The independent republic of the Ivory Coast (or Côte d'Ivoire) lies on the south coast of the bulge of West Africa, consisting mainly of a vast plateau (except for mountains in the northwest extremity), hemmed in by five other countries and the Atlantic Ocean. Once, its main cities of Abidjan and Yamoussoukro were showpieces of the continent, politically stable and economically sound, attractive not only by dint of the physical beauty that abounds in the country but also boasting a rich culture.
In 2002 an armed rebellion split the nation, and although a peace deal between the rebels and the government was brokered in 2003, implementation was difficult and a further peace accord had to be signed in 2007. After the 2003 peace deal tensions remained high, and most foreign nationals left. Ivory Coast remains blacklisted as a 'no-go' destination by most western governments, with United Nations and French peacekeepers holding on to a volatile situation.
Tourists that do brave the political situation can experience attractions in the Ivory Coast like one of the last remaining virgin rainforests in West Africa at the Tai National Park, an unspoilt wonderland of huge trees, gurgling streams and abundant wildlife. Then there is the impressive Cascade Waterfall, located in a bamboo forest in the lush region around the town of Man, which also hosts the intriguing annual Festival of Masks with performing stilt-dancers.
The cities, too, are worthy experiences, particularly the capital Yamoussoukro. A unique city in Africa, boasting a full-sized replica of St Peter's Basilica in Rome. The stunning cathedral (containing more stained glass than you will find in all the churches of France), and other lavish edifices in the surprising city, including an internationally-rated golf course and multi-lane highways that disappear into the jungle, was built courtesy of long-term president Felix Houphouet-Boigny, who bestowed all these gifts on his hometown.
The largest city, Abidjan, has a cosmopolitan flavour lent to it by its large French and Lebanese communities. Abidjan presents an attractive aspect, set on a lagoon and boasting high-rise buildings like the spectacular Hotel Ivoire. Abidjan has its landmark cathedral too: St Paul's was built in 1985, and consecrated by the Pope. The city has a vibrant nightlife and bustling atmosphere, offering a few good museums for sightseeing and a rainforest reserve called Parc du Banco for shady relaxation.
If and when Ivory Coast solves its political dilemmas it will undoubtedly once again emerge as one of the tourist jewels of Africa, being able to utilise tourism as a means to help shrug off the debts incurred by its wasteful bureaucrats and years of unrest.
The country code for Ivory Coast is +225. The outgoing code is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 0044 for the United Kingdom). City/area codes are not required and all phone numbers have eight digits. GSM 900 networks provide mobile cellular coverage around the main towns and cities, and there are roaming agreements with most international networks. International Direct Dialling is available. There are internet cafes in Abidjan.

Languages Spoken
The official language of Ivory Coast is French but more than 60 native dialects are spoken.
Duty Free
Travellers to the Ivory Coast do not need to pay customs duty on 200 cigarettes or 100 cigarillos or 25 cigars or 250g of tobacco; one bottle of wine and one of spirits; 500ml eau de toilette and 250ml of perfume. A video camera may be imported (for personal use only) and must be declared on arrival; a deposit must be paid which will be refunded on departure. Currency should be declared.
Electrical current is 220 volts, 50Hz. Plug types in use are round pin attachment plugs or round pin plugs and receptacles with male grounding pin.
Climate Info
The coastal region, where temperatures stay fairly constant between 73°F to 80°F (23°C to 27°C), is dry for most of the year, experiencing an intensely wet rainy season between mid-May and mid-July. In the central forest region of the country, however, it is continually wet and humid. The hottest part of the country is the northern savannah, where temperatures can reach 90°F (32°C). The north experiences a long wet season from June to October.
All foreign passengers to the Ivory Coast must hold proof of arranged accommodation, return/onward tickets, and the necessary travel documentation for their next destination. Note that a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required to enter the Ivory Coast. Holders of 'pre-approved enrollement' or a 'registration receipt' can obtain a visa on arrival in Abidjan (ABJ). NOTE: It is highly recommended that your passport has at least six months validity remaining after your intended date of departure from your travel destination. Immigration officials often apply different rules to those stated by travel agents and official sources.
Entry Requirements
US citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the period of intended stay, and require a visa, to enter the Ivory Coast.
British citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the period of intended stay. A visa is required.
Canadian citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the period of intended stay, and require a visa, to enter the Ivory Coast.
Australian citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the period of intended stay, and require a visa, to enter the Ivory Coast.
South African citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the period of intended stay, and require a visa, to enter the Ivory Coast.
Irish citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the period of intended stay, and require a visa, to enter the Ivory Coast.
New Zealand citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the period of intended stay, and require a visa, to enter the Ivory Coast.
There are a variety of health risks prevalent in Ivory Coast, and a yellow fever vaccination is required for entry; immigration officials will check this at the airport. Cholera is present in rural areas, and malaria is widespread even in urban areas. Typhoid and Hepatitis A vaccinations are also recommended. Meningococcal vaccine is recommended for travel between November and June. HIV/AIDS is widespread and Dengue Fever can occur, so make sure you pack an effective mosquito repellant. All water should be sterilised before use, and milk, which is unpasteurised, should be boiled. Avoid dairy products and ensure meat is well cooked and eaten hot. Fruit and vegetables should be cooked and/or peeled before consumption. Medical treatment in Abidjan is of reasonable standard, but private care is expensive, and facilities outside the major towns are very limited. Medical insurance with provision for repatriation is essential.
The political situation in Ivory Coast is volatile and demonstrations can occur unexpectedly between supporters of the rival presidential candidates. Take care in public places and avoid crowds. Most governments advise against unnecessary travel to the Ivory Coast at present due to the potential for unpredictable unrest. If, despite this advice visitors decide to travel to the Ivory Coast, careful personal security arrangements should be made due to high levels of anti-western sentiment. Violent crime is on the increase, including armed break-ins, car jackings, muggings and hold-ups in restaurants. Evening rush hour on Abidjan's Charles de Gaulle Bridge is particularly dangerous. Visitors should be meticulous in respecting the numerous army and police roadblocks. Police and security forces can be excitable and undisciplined. Particular care should be taken in the north and west of the country, where there have been frequent clashes. All travel to the 18 Montagnes and Moyen Cavally regions should be avoided. In the area between Duékoué and Odienne, armed elements are often under the influence of drink or drugs, which makes them particularly unpredictable. Be aware of con-men and touts when arriving at Abidjan airport. The bridges crossing the lagoon in Abidjan should be avoided by those on foot. Taxis, except for metered orange taxis in Abidjan, are risky and often unroadworthy. Buses are overcrowded and best avoided. Sea bathing is dangerous as strong sea currents are present, and drownings are common.

Public Holidays in Ivory Coast
The Ivory Coast has a number of interesting attractions available for sightseeing. Abidjan itself has the Parc du Banco on the outskirts of the city, where visitors can experience the rainforest's flora and fauna and interestingly, just near the entrance to the park, is Africa's largest open-air laundrette. Inside Abidjan city is the Hotel Ivoire, once a glamourous place to stay but now left to ruin. St Paul's Cathedral is another site within the city of Abidjan worth a visit for sightseeing tourists.
Further afield visitors can see the capital city (by name only) of Yamoussoukro, which is famous for multiple-laned highways leading straight into the jungle, or city streets and blocks all laid out but no houses or structures lining the streets. Yamoussoukro is also famous for the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro (Basilica Notre Dame), which is a replica of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. The town of Man is also well-known for its fabric and the traditional masks on sale, as well as for its surrounding waterfalls and beautiful natural scenery.

Site, sound and space converge to define our experience and memory of place.
Microphonics comprises a series of sound recordings of the Art Gallery of South Australia rearticulated throughout the building and its environs to enhance the perceptual awareness of place. In the first phase of the
project specialist microphones will be employed to capture the acoustic and spatial behavior of assorted objects and events within the Gallery.
By strategically disrupting the natural ambience of the gallery, this work seeks to highlight the pervasive and mutable nature of sound through methods of association, displacement and activation. To achieve this, loudspeakers will be strategically distributed throughout the Gallery to render subtle environmental impressions separate to those that usually occur in each space. The intention is to arouse audience attention through the interplay between the natural and the constructed and to demonstrate the manner in which site, sound and space converge to define our experience and memory of place.

Gangaa 23rd November 2015 Written Episode Update
Gangaa 23rd November 2015 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
Ganga comes to Sagar's room with Jalebi Prasad. He is surprised to see her there. Your punishment is over? She nods. Bahu ji helped me. Sagar says I knew mom will help you. I had asked her for help. Ganga too had faith in him. I owe you a big thank you. Jalebi Prasad got saved today because of you. He worries for the problems that can come one day because of Jalebi Prasad. We should hide him somewhere from where no one can find him.
Yash speaks about his papa not getting him any crackers this year. Prabha is lost in thoughts. How will I arrange that money? I don't want to return the jewellery. She scolds Yash for thinking about crackers. I am already worried. Doorbell rings. She steps back in shock to see Ram ji at the door. She blackmails Yash to lie to Ram ji. He lies to Ram ji next as
Sagar suggests hiding Jalebi Prasad in the cupboard. Ganga says you hid me there too. He apologizes to her once again for his past action. This is the safest place to hide Jalebi Prasad. Ganga agrees. They both keep Jalebi Prasad inside the cupboard. He covers him using his towel. Ganga tells Jalebi Prasad to stay here only. You are making your mother (Ganga) so much. No problem, get all the help you want for now. But when you grow up you will have to look after yourself. They close the cupboard. She remarks that it is a tough task to do things stealthily. There is a fear of getting caught always.
Ram ji is still outside Prabha's house. I wont leave her till I find her. She took jewellery worth 1.5 lacs. Ratan parks his scooter. He collides with Ram ji. Eventually, they get talking. Ratan asks him why he is so worried. Ram ji shares that a woman took jewellery worth lacs on loan. I went to her place but her son told me she isn't home. I think she is hiding inside. She is making her son lie. Ratan says it is wrong. Ram ji adds that she is a wife of a big officer but is acting like a miser. Prabha is scared to see them talking. Ratan tells Ram ji that this is Railway colony. The middle level officers stay here in A-block. The big officers live in B Block. It is better to call that lady to confirm the address. Ram ji thanks him. Prabha gets Ram ji's call but she disconnects it. Yash thinks that has done something really wrong. He asks his mother about it. I will tell papa. She makes him swear in her name. He acts all sweet to her. Give me something in return. He asks for Rs. 100 for now. I will ask for the rest later. She asks him what has gone wrong with him that he is blackmailing his own mother. Doorbell rings. Yash opens the door. Ratan brings home vegetables. She talks nicely to him and also about saving money. Yash tries to say something to him but Prabha intervenes. She sends him inside to finish his homework. Yash signals her for money. She gets money from Ratan making an excuse about some school project. Yash says I love you to both of them. Prabha goes to make tea for Ratan.
Shanta Dadi is lighting diyas in Amma ji's house. She asks Amma ji to join her. Amma ji tells her to take Madhvi's help. She rules the house. Shanta Dadi sends Mehri outside. She fills Amma ji's ears against Madhvi. You are the MIL. How will it work if you leave everything in your DIL's hands? You wont be able to do anything in your own house if you will leave everything on her? If she was so concerned about the occasion of Diwali then she would have lit diyas by now. Amma ji agrees. Now I am thinking to light diyas in entire house. I will free Ganga from her punishment too. I took out all my anger on her because of Madhvi. Shanta Dadi follows Amma ji outside.
Amma ji is shocked to see the pot lying on the floor. She asks Mehri about Ganga. Mehri hasn't seen Ganga since long. Shanta Dadi adds fuel to the fire. That girl does not care about what you said. She left as soon as you went inside your room. Amma ji gets angry. She calls out for Ganga. Ganga and Sagar come there. Amma ji questions Ganga. You don't have any regards for my words? Sagar replies from her side. Mom ended her punishment. She dint do it on her will. Shanta Dadi says Madhvi forgave Ganga. Ganga has a lot of well wishers in the house. Drop it. My DIL can never cut my words. What can you do when the other person is bent upon going against you! Amma ji tells Mehri to ask the owner (Madhvi) of the house about diyas. Shanta Dadi advises her to confront Madhvi directly. I would have done it if I was in your place. But you are a widow. How would you speak before your DIL? Amma ji calls out for Madhvi.
Niru asks her what happened. Amma ji retorts back saying ask your wife. Niru politely asks his mother why she is so angry. Madhvi comes there as well. Amma ji asks her why she ended Ganga's punishment. I had punished her. Do you want to show that my words hold no ground? Madhvi tries to say something but SHanta Dadi smartly speaks in between. Ganga and Sagar look on in confusion. Amma ji feels bad. I am getting so much insulted before my own sister. Niru asks his mother again. Amma ji tells him about Madhvi cleaning the house with phenyl. Next, I punished Ganga for some right reason but your wife pardoned her. She wants to show me down before everyone. Niru asks Madhvi if his mother is right. Madhvi denies. I dint tell Ganga to go. Ganga asks her why she is saying so. You only forgave me. Madhvi says I am seeing you now after afternoon. Sagar had come to ask for help from me but I clearly told him I cannot help him. Amma ji punished Ganga so she only will take a decision. Sagar confirms it. Niru turns to Ganga. If Madhvi dint do it then someone would have said it to you using Madhvi's name. Tell me who that person is. Shanta Dadi cuts her mid sentence. Why stretch the matter? Ganga might lie to save herself. She can take anyone's name.
Ganga calls her liar. I never lie. Shanta Dadi starts acting. Now a girl will call me liar in my sister's house? Amma ji scolds Ganga. Niru says Ganga never lies. He asks Ganga again. Shanta Dadi looks worried. She steps forward. End the matter now. How does it matter who forgave her? Kanta (Amma ji) was anyways coming to do so. Let it be. AMma ji agrees to drop this matter. But she questions Madhvi about cleaning the house using phenyl. Madhvi says I apologize to you if you think I am at fault. But atleast don't make a scene in front of everyone. She walks away. Amma ji shouts after her. Keep these fake tears away. It is you are creating a scene, not me. Niru counters her. You are wrong. You have made a scene actually. Amma ji looks at him in shock. Niru tells her that it was he who had asked Madhvi to clean the house using phenyl. Amma ji is in tears. Why do you always try to prove your mother wrong? He denies. I am only supporting the truth. Madhvi always listens to you. She never goes against you. I don't know why you cannot see it. I agree she takes decisions at times for the benefit of this house. You should actually respect it. She has equal rights on this house like you. Try to understand your DIL a little. He leaves.
Amma ji says my own son supports his wife and not his mother. She indirectly asks Raghav ji to leave. Shanta Dadi enjoys the show. She farts again. Now I feel so light. I had so much fun. Ganga observes her keenly.
Sagar asks Ganga who told her that her punishment is over. Who took mom's name? Ganga takes Shanta Dadi's name. I have understood how big a liar she is! She is responsible for the rift between Bahu ji and Amma ji. He suggests telling the truth to his parents but she stops him. It is no point talking to bahu ji at the moment. She is really angry. She wont talk to us. We will talk tomorrow morning. Things can get well only if we speak to bahu ji first.
Precap: Shanta Dadi comes to wake up Sagar. She opens his cupboard to take out clothes for him. She is shocked to see Jalebi Prasad there. Sagar rushes to her. Amma ji comes there hearing her sister's scream. What happened? Shanta Dadi looks at Sagar.

FEBRUARY 6, 2017 — Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement is collaborating with the U.K.'s Babcock International Group, the UK's leading engineering support services company, on the development of a 7,500 m3 Gas Supply Vessel to be used for the LNG fueling of ships in the Baltic Sea.
The vessel will be first vessel of its kind to utilize Babcock's patent pending FGSVO technology, developed technology to deliver LNG from the GSV into the receiving vessel with zero emissions to the environment during normal operations, greatly minimizing environmental impact.
The vessel is also designed to meet the IMO global cap of 0.5% on sulfur emissions.
The GSV will be built at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in Ulsan, South Korea. The keel is scheduled to be laid down in February 2018 with the cargo tanks delivered in January 2018. The vessel is due to be launched in April 2018 with delivery from the shipyard expected in September 2018.
Many LNG refueling hubs are in the process of being planned globally with LNG bunkering vessels such as the Babcock Schulte GSV expected to be more widely used as new LNG fueling infrastructure is developed.
Ian Lindsay, Babcock Managing Director for Energy & Marine Technology, said: "Working with well-established partners such as the Schulte Group is an exciting prospect for our team. As innovators in Liquefied Natural Gas technology, working on this 'first of its kind' program is a great opportunity to further expand our reach into the international LNG arena."
"This new sector will enable Babcock and the Schulte Group to innovate and deliver safe, efficient and environmentally responsible fuel delivery to meet demand in this growing sector of our industry," said Angus Campbell, BSM Director for Energy Projects.

Albert Einstein's Quote on Human Being As Part of the Whole
Many people know Albert Einstein for his E=mc2 equation and his theory of relativity and his accomplishments in physics. Einstein was indeed a genius. Because he has wisdom and insights in other realms as well, including the nature of our being.
It is no wonder that during the days when Einstein was alive, many people seek his advice in all matters of physics, life, and even philosophy.
A rabbi who had lost a child wrote to Einstein for guidance. Einstein wrote back and in his letters were the following words ...
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe", a part limited in time and space. He experience himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish the delusion but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind." [reference]
We as Part of the Whole
The Einstein quote is the idea that we are part of a whole. The idea that we are an individual separate from the rest is only an illusion created by what psychologists call the "ego". Once we get beyond the ego and see that we are not separate selves and that we are part of the whole, morality and compassion will come naturally.
We no longer step on the person in front of us in order to step up, because that person in front is us. We no longer block another car from entering the freeway, because that person trying to get in is us. Like the cells of our body, if we are to be healthy, one cell do not harm another cell because they are all a part of the larger organism. Harming another is like harming ourselves.
Different Versions of the Story
The exact reason for the Einstein letter is not clear. Some sources say that it was the rabbi's daughter that had died and other sources say it was the rabbi's son. Some sources said the child died of polio. Some sources say that the rabbi wanted advice from Einstein as to how to explain the senseless death to the rabbi's other 19-year-old daughter.
Other sources say that the letter was addressed to a man named "Mr. Robert S Marcus" at the address of the World Jewish Congress in New York, New York. And that the letter was dated February 12, 1950. Perhaps Mr. Marcus is the rabbi?
Different Version of the Quote
Because Einstein is so widely quoted and re-quoted, there are different versions of the quote and it is difficult to know which is the original Einstein quote.
The words in the above quote was quoted based on images of the typewritten and handwritten Einstein letters found on the blog of OnBeing.org. There in the blog post titled "Einstein Sleuthing" by Nancy Rosenbaum, you see a pictures of an old type-written letter and another picture of Einstein's handwritten letter in German and English.
It is not clear who translated Einstein's words into English. One difference between the type-written image and the handwritten image is in the sentence...
"The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion."
where the typewritten version uses the word "in" instead of the word "is". The latter usage is more grammatically correct and is what appears in the handwritten version. Hence presumably the word "is" would be the more accurate version and that the word "in" in typewritten version may be a typo.
On Wikiquotes.org they have Einstein quote as ...
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe", a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." (as of January 22, 2012)
which they sourced from The New York Times (29 March 1972) and The New York Post (28 November 1972).
Quoted in Einstein Books
However WikiQuote did note that there is a supposed different (and possibly more accurate) version of that quote found in "The New Quotable Einstein" by Alice Calaprice page 206.
Alice Calaprice has the quote on page 184 of another book that she co-author titled "Dear Professor Einstein". The Alice Calaprice versions more closely matches the version seen in the photos of the Einstein letters.
More Reference Sources
I first heard of the Einstein quote and the story from Daniel Siegel's Audio CD version of his book "The Mindful Brain". You can see the quote in printed form in his book "The Mindful Brain Reflection and Attunement in the Cultivation of Well-Being" page 163.
And because Einstein is widely quoted, a simple web search of the quote brings about many references to this quote. Some of which are ...
And if you do a web search on the words of the first sentence of the quote: "A human being is a part of the whole, called by us Universe a part limited in time and space".
You will find dozens and dozens more re-quoting of these insightful words.

I shall keep the very large title pasted from the journal CIRCULATION:
Association of Coffee Consumption with Total and Cause-Specific Mortality in Three Large Prospective Cohorts
I shall also keep the list of authors and the links to their articles
Ming Ding;Ambika Satija;Shilpa N. Bhupathiraju;Yang Hu1Qi Sun;Jiali Han;Esther Lopez-Garcia;Walter Willett;Rob M. van Dam;Frank B. Hu*
It is worth noting that Dr. Hu has 111 hits when you click on his link. Dr. Hu is a Professor of Nutirtion and Epidemiology at Harvard SPH. He received his PhD in 1996. That is less than 20 years ago. I know that 111 pubs is not so much in epidemiology. Not because I am an epidemiologist with over 100 pubs. But I know epidemiologists. It used to be that all you need was one or two big papers (like the original epidemiological study of breast cancer and your career was made). Now you have to publish 100 of those papers to get your h-index up that high.
Anyway, I do not come to bury Dr. Hu, but to praise him:
From the abstract:
Background—The association between consumption of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee and risk of mortality remains inconclusive.
This is true. And a source of great gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes.
Methods and Results— blah blah blah.
So, I have extracted the important points for you from the methods and the results:
N= 74,890 women and 93,054 women and 40,557 men.
The data includes 4,690,072 person-years of follow-up.
That's 4.6 million years of follow up. I do not want to live 4.6 million years. Probably 2-3 million would be sufficient for all I want to do.
In this time 19,524 women and 12,432 men died.
One presumes these deaths were not from terrorist attacks but from various natural causes. Since the study was based in America, and Indigenous Peoples are a very small part of US population (one source: listed as American Indian/Alaska Native are 0.9% of the US population, or in combination with other races, 1.7%; the US Census lists AI/NA as 1.6%), one can assume that most of these 200K+ people had some immigrant ancestry, and someone at some time decided that it was OK to let them into the country despite what was perceived as their inferior "stock" at that point. Just saying. Most of us can trace our roots back to somewhere else, and ultimately, we're all from Africa anyway and ape-ish ancestors (~10^6-7 years) at that. Just a bit of perspective.
Now on to the important stuff:
Consumption of total, caffeinated, and decaffeinated coffee were non-linearly associated with mortality. [my bold] Compared to non-drinkers, coffee consumption one to five cups/d was associated with lower risk of mortality, while coffee consumption more than five cups/d was not associated with risk of mortality.
There's more there - about smoking and decalf vs. calf. You can read the whole thing if you like. But, to the main point:
Significant inverse associations were observed between coffee consumption and deaths due to cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases, and suicide. No significant association between coffee consumption and total cancer mortality was found.
It's good to know that coffee is neutral on cancer. But the suicide point is important.
Conclusions—Higher consumption of total coffee, caffeinated coffee, and decaffeinated coffee was associated with lower risk of total mortality.
I consider this to be carte blanche to consume up to five cups of marvelous stuff. I just wonder if triple espressos count as a one or three.

Along with the works of some accomplished sculptors and installation artists, our work Bubble (A Fountain of Zero) was commissioned and displayed as part of the Art on the Greenway program of Leichhardt Council. The display of sculptures and installations was a part of the annual Leichhardt Open Studio Trail program in 2016. Our work was on display from Wednesday March 9th to March 20th this year.
We were delighted to participate in this opportunity to work with the Leichhardt Council on a such exciting project which displayed some artworks along the Greenway and added some visual excitement for local residents who regularly cycle and walk along the path. We look forward to further opportunities to work in a similar capacity.

The closure of the N-Gage service is a blow to Nokia's service ambitions. However it is also fair to say that N-Gage really pre-dated the Ovi strategy. As a result, in both vision and execution, it did not fit fully fit into the Ovi service portfolio, especially after the launch of Ovi Store earlier this year.
Clearly Nokia will look to push its gaming strategy forward under the Ovi Store umbrella, but it is a long way from both dedicated gaming unit (N-Gage first generation) and a gaming focused platform and community (N-Gage second generation). N-Gage was never able to move beyond a niche community. Its ease of distribution advantages has been overtaken by the rise of App Stores; similarly online service elements are now relatively common. Furthermore the lack of graphic acceleration hardware in recent Nokia S60 phones have left N-Gage games looking lacklustre, in eye-candy terms, when compared to the iPhone and other mobile gaming platforms.
Key points
- Nokia will no longer publish new games via the N-Gage service. Instead games will be made available via the Ovi Store. Nokia term this an 'evolution of their mobile gaming service', but there's no getting away from the fact that represents a failure of the N-Gage service.
- N-Gage games can be purchased until September 2010. Other parts of the N-Gage service, including N-Gage Arena, will be availale throughout 2010.
- The N-Gage application will continue to ship on some older devices. However new devices will not ship with the N-Gage application.
- All current N-Gage will continue to work. The online (Arena) elements will continue to work throughout 2010. However, subsequently, the online elements of N-Gage games will no longer work.
- Nokia's future gaming strategy will be based on Ovi Store distribution.
Nokia are 'actively working on offering more community elements through Ovi' and will 'encourage developers to use community features in their applications'. This suggests Nokia will, in the future, offer common community / online elements, perhaps based on N-Gage technology, to developers publishing their games through the Ovi Store.
More details and comment shortly.
Further information, including a list of frequently asked questions, is available on the N-Gage blog.

Your Research Proposal, At Its Best!
A research proposal is something you will be asked to do as a student. Be ready that this assignment is much more confusing and time-consuming than essay even if you don't have to write too many pages. In case you do not clearly get the concept of this task, you may ask "What is a research paper proposal?" We are here to answer and help.
To begin with, these papers are challenging; they usually serve as the basis of larger projects. It's all about conducting and interpreting research, describing the design, main topics, techniques applied, and schedule. All research proposals need the same structure with a powerful thesis.
Tips for Writing a Research Proposal
The first-rate assignment like this demands a lot of efforts and excellent knowledge of structure. Research proposal template should look this way:
- Introduction

AIPSECMA- Meliorating Faculties
Anubhav Singh | Oct 10, 2016
- 0
The arena of Medical Science has always been vast and intriguing, the deeper you fathom the farther you want to explore. With several medical breakthroughs occurring every second day and the dissolution of varied disciplines, we have certainly traversed farther than our forefathers. But the glass still remains equally empty and filled. Despite the greater heights of technical, pharmaceuticals, surgical and similar other advancements, the present hour beckons for sincerer efforts.
To provide a deeper insight of certain persistent challenges in medical applications the Electrical Engineering Department of NIT Rourkela organised a short term course AIPSECMA (Advanced Image Processing Solutions for Emerging Challenges in Medical Applications) which extended for two days from 25th September 2016 to 26th September 2016. The course was sponsored by the Centre of Excellence in Orthopaedic Tissue Engineering & Rehabilitation (CoE-OTER) under Faculty Development programme of TEQIP-II.
Dual Day Annals
The course being a short one in nature wrapped up in two days yet it managed to touch several topics such as:
1. Overview of medical imaging and their clinical applications.
2. Current Clinical Problems and Advanced Medical Image Processing Techniques.
3. Quantitative medical image analysis.
4. Diagnosis of cancer cells through microscopic images.
Dr Dipti Patra, the coordinator cum course instructor of AIPSECMA revealed
We had a two full day packed event. But still, a couple of days is quite a short duration for a course as vast as this so we started directly by addressing the attendees and avoided any inaugural function.
The first day of the event included an introductory lecture by Dr Patra on Image Processing and various challenges that show up in the process, along with a lab session on hands-on practice about images related to the medical field and its processing. Prof. Suprajit Mahapatra from BIT MESRA and Dr Sanghamitra Satapathy, Head Pathologist from IGH Rourkela were the other two course instructors. Prof. Mahapatra spoke on the diagnosis of cancer cells through microscopic images his lecture included detection classification and stage determination of leukaemia. Dr Satapathy interacted with the audience on the second day and explained several difficulties they face as a pathologist in diagnosis. The final day also had a lecture on image reconstruction. A valedictory session was organised at the end which went on for almost half an hour. Certificates were distributed to the participants by Prof. J. K. Satapathy, HOD, Department of Electrical Engineering NIT Rourkela.
About Attendees
The programme witnessed twenty attendees from various institutes like BIT-MESRA, VSSUT Burla, and several other institutes of Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. Expressing her views regarding the number of registrants Dr Dipti Patra said that initially, they were planning for an industry- institute interaction which included the faculties of NIT-R only but this was abruptly changed to a short term course involving participation from other institutes too as a result the circulars were sent to other institutes on a short notice. She further told that they were funded by TEQIP with a sum of INR 50,000 and were actually expecting about twenty people. Some registrants were denied participation on specialisation basis.
Access: Open or Limited
Since the programme was organised under the Faculty Development Programme of TEQIP-II so only faculties from NIT and other institutes could register. When inquired if students were allowed to attend or not Dr Patra replied that though students could not register yet there was no restriction on attending the event. When questioned about conducting the event during mid-semester examinations and delayed circulation of the announcement the major reasons for zero participation from students Dr Patra stated that
Our prime focus were faculties so we scheduled it during mid-semester examinations as most of the faculty are free around this time and this seemed to be a proper and productive utilisation of time. As for students, we did not expect them to turn up yet few students from the Department of Bio-Medical Engineering approached me to ask whether they could attend it or not to which I replied positively but there was nothing I could do with the dates as it had already been fixed. In future, I will try to schedule such events on dates excluding semester exams. The information regarding the event was put on the official website a fortnight before and there was no delay. It was only the webmail which was not circulated till 24th of September.
Talking of the response and feedback from the participants Dr. Patra said that the event was an overall success and they received positive feedbacks. The participants also asked for a course with longer duration on this topic. When asked about her opinion regarding this she said
We are deliberating on something like this but we may need to generate our own capital to meet the expenses. The main objective of this programme was to introduce the faculties with Medical Image Processing. As a technologist and researcher, I feel that we should stay equally updated with advancements and challenges.

July 23, 2007
Thursday afternoon, two friends and I went on what is becoming an annual trip up to Blue Ridge Reservoir for a few days of summer R&R.
The basic shape of the lake is that of a horseshoe.
Two years ago, we hiked down to a campsite above the last fork on the southern end of the horseshoe. Last year, when we returned to the same site, the water level had dropped so far (about 15') that we had no direct access to float the canoe. We had to slog across 10 yards of mud to get to the water line.
This year we decided to float our equipment from the boat ramp (a few turns west of the dam) back to the campsite. If we didn't have water access to our preferred site, we could find something near deeper water.
The water level was down an additional 10'. Not only was our primary site dry, but so was our backup. The dam used to be managed by Phelps Dodge, and they tended to keep the water level high for recreational purposes. Two years ago, control of the dam was turned over to Salt River Project, and they've proceeded to sell off much of the water in the reservoir.

The Impact of Unemployment on Mental and Physical Health, Access to Health Care and Health Risk Behaviors

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of employment status and unemployment duration on perceived health, access to health care, and health risk behaviors. Data from Nevada's 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) were analyzed. We compared participants who were unemployed (greater than and less than one year) to those who were employed and those who were voluntarily out of the labor force (OLF). Unemployed participants had significantly worse perceived mental health profiles, were more likely to delay health care services due to cost, and were less likely to have access to health care than employed participants and OLF participants. OLF participants were not significantly different from employed participants. Contrary to previous findings, unemployed participants in this study were not more likely to binge drink, smoke, or be physically inactive. Findings from this study suggest that the impetus for unemployment, be it voluntary or involuntary, may significantly impact a person's mental health.

|Patient's med?????????????
Oct 12, 2004
I'm a health care professionnal and came upon a patient with a regimen I have a hard time making sense of and couldn't reach his HIV/AIDS MD. On admission the patient was on these(and were actually just refilled not long ago at his pharmacy): Combivir 1 tab BID, Lexiva 700mg BID, Kaletra 4 tabs BID, Norvir 100mg BID, Efavirenz 600mg HS, Leucovorin 50mg po qd and mepron 750mg BID Would there be ever a rationnal for this combination? I don't have the resistance profile but this therapy must be burdensome. And what about the leucovorin (no bactrim,pyrimethamine etc)? I would really appreciate any comment or rationnal on this issue Thank you Stephan
Response from Dr. Sherer
For patients who have failed multiple ART regimens, HIV physicians will seek to use any drugs that have any indication of residual activity to try to help the patient. Often such a regimen will involve more than the conventional three drugs (as is used for first time treatment of HIV+ patients).
So I am not surprised to see 5 antivirals in this regimen.
The use of three protease inhibitors together is somewhat unusual, but there have been recent studies suggesting that the addition of extra doses of ritonavir to boost the drug levels of the other PIs in the regimen can overcome some resistance to the PI class.
And finally, the interaction between fos-APV (Lexiva) and LPV/r (Kaletra) is complex; this may explain the use of extra ritonavir.
You were correct to call the physician to understand the regimen and the reasons for it, particularly if you were responsible in part for the ongoing administration of the drug, as in a hospital admission. Did you ask the patient? Often they will know how and why they are on their drugs...and often they will not.
What is my long-term prognosis?

Mr. Bojangles Lyrics
Artist: Bob Dylan
Album: Dylan
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you in worn out shoes
Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants, that old soft shoe
He'd jump so high, he'd jump so high, will he likely touch down ?
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance.
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was down and out
He looked to me to be the eye of age as he spoke right out
He talked of life, he talked of life, laughing slapped his leg stale
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance.
He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick all across the cell
He grabbed his pants for a better stance, oh he jumped so high and he
clicked up his heels
He let go laugh, he let go laugh, shook back his clothes all around
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance, yeah, dance.
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs throughtout the south
He spoke with tears of 15 years of how his dog and him just travelled about
Hid dog up and died, he up and died, and after 20 years he still grieves
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance.
He said "I dance now at every chance at honky-tonks for drinks and tips
But most of the time I spend behind these county bars, cause I drinks a bit"
He shook his head, yes he shook his head, I heard someone ask him, lease?
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance, dance, Mr Bojangles, dance.

LANSING (AP) – The federal government says on-the-job deaths in Michigan rose 50 percent in the latest annual figures.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said Wednesday that its preliminary count shows 141 people were killed while working in Michigan last year, up from 94 in 2009.
The government has been compiling the figures for 19 years, during which the state death total reached a high of 182 in 1999. The 2009 figure was the lowest on record.
Nationwide, there were 4,547 fatal work injuries in 2010, compared with 4,551 in 2009.
Michigan's 2010 work place deaths included 24 homicides, 22 falls, 20 highway accidents, 14 cases of people hit by objects and seven electrocutions.

Reordering Nature: Theology, Society and the New Genetics
by Deane-Drummond, Celia, Szerszynski, Bronislaw, Grove-White, Robin•
T&T Clark 2003
In Reordering Nature, the contributors argue that an adequate response must also be sociologically informed in at least two ways. First it must draw on contemporary sociological insights about contemporary cultural change, the complex role of expert knowledge in modern complex society and the specific social dynamics of contemporary technological risks. Secondly, it must endeavor to pay sensitive attention to the voice of the lay public in the current controversy over the new genetics.
This volume attempts to realize such an aim as a contribution not just to academic scholarship, but also to the public debate about biotechnology and its regulation. Thus the collection includes contributions from scholars in a range of intellectual domains (indeed, many of the chapters themselves draw on more than one discipline in new and challenging ways). This work invites the reader to enter into this conversation in a creative way and come to appreciate more fully the many-sided nature of the debate.
Key Features
- Investigates the practical implications of genetic experimentation
- Analyzes various Christian responses to the new biology
- Seventeen essays from fifteen experts in the scientific and theological communities

Thank you, Chairman Schapiro.
Section 763(i) of the Dodd-Frank Act amends the Exchange Act to authorize the Commission to adopt rules regarding security-based swap data repositories. Pursuant to this authority, the Commission is proposing these rules.
I support the recommendation before us this morning. The proposing release solicits comment on a range of topics and asks a number of specific questions. As always, I look forward to considering the comments we will receive. I am particularly interested in comments that address the following:
How do the practices and conduct the rules would require of security-based swap data repositories compare to the practices and conduct of entities presently serving as data repositories? In what ways, if any, would a current data repository have to change its activities and operations to comply with the regulatory requirements? What would be the cost and other consequences of doing so?
To what extent and in what ways might the proposed requirements affect the commercial viability of different data repository business models? For what reasons, if any, might the proposed rules impede entry by data repositories?
How might competition among swap data repositories impact the security-based swap market if there were multiple data repositories to which trade information could be reported? On the other hand, what would be the impact of having very few — in the extreme, only one — security-based swap data repository to receive and disseminate trade information?
Are specific regulatory requirements that we are proposing unduly burdensome? What specific refinements to the proposal could reduce any such burdens but without appreciably frustrating the policy goals animating the regulation?
I'd like to thank the staff — especially those from the Division of Trading and Markets — for your hard work on this proposal.

(News Focus) N. Korean defectors suffer from inefficient state support programs
SEOUL, Sept. 16 (Yonhap) -- The government's latest decision to fundamentally review its policy towards North Korean defectors is turning a spotlight on the hardships faced by former North Koreans in the capitalist South.
The number of North Korean defectors in the South has rapidly grown in recent years and is now approaching a landmark 30,000, but their quality of life seems to be getting worse due mainly to inefficient settlement support programs.
Defectors here easily slip to the fringes of South Korean society due to continuing unemployment and the consequent temptation to commit crimes, while the local government's settlement support policies fail to help their assimilation into the new system.
While the number of North Korean defectors settling in the South has already exceeded 24,000, high unemployment rates and frequent clashes with the law are still raising alarm bells.
According to a survey of 8,229 defectors by the North Korean Refugees Foundation, a support group, more than 30 percent of them have a monthly income of less than 1 million won (US$894.9), much smaller than what indigenous South Koreans earn.
The jobless rate among North Koreans in the South has reached 12.1 percent, more than three times the average 3.7 percent among indigenous southerners.
Scarce job opportunities and meager salaries often lead defectors here to commit crimes ranging from petty theft to murders and robberies, with a report by the Korean National Police University saying 899 North Korean defectors committed serious crimes including muggings or homicides from 1998 to 2007.
That figure accounted for nearly 10 percent of the total of 8,885 North Koreans living in the South during the same period, the report showed.
In a bid to help defectors from the socialist country successfully assimilate to the South's capitalist system, the Seoul government enacted a law in 1997 with a view to supporting their assimilation, with more than 120 billion won of the state budget earmarked for the settlement support plan yearly.
North Korean defectors, scholars and support group officials, however, say the state support programs have been widely inefficient, inconsistent and unrealistic.
North Korean defectors, after being allowed into the South, undergo 420 hours of re-socialization programs in the Hanawon center, a settlement center for North Koreans in Anseong, about 77 kilometers south of Seoul.
Nearly half of the lengthy compulsory program is assigned for vocational training and consulting, with defectors taking field trips or receiving brief training mostly in manual sectors, such as sewing for females or welding or auto repairs training for males.
Analysts say the program, indiscriminately applicable to all defectors, fails to properly cater to an increasingly diversified population of North Korean settlers here.
"The education given in the Hanawon center is only rudimentary ... and it should be completely renovated to suit the needs of individual defectors," said Kim Soo-am, a researcher at the Korea Institute for National Unification. The program is insufficient to meet the increasingly varied age or education levels of North Korean defectors, he said.
"The center operates different education programs for seven types of defector groups based on age or gender, but they are in fact insufficient to cater to all the defectors due to some limitations," said an official of the Unification Ministry, which handles inter-Korean issues as well as settlement of defectors.
The government's subsidy aimed to encourage defectors' employment has also been called into question, with analysts pointing out it is not designed to encourage long-term employment.
The government currently pays half of the salary paid to new defector employees by local firms, but legal loopholes are causing employers to lay off defectors after the subsidies phase out, leading to a high rate of job changes among them, analysts said.
The average defector on a subsidy plan stays in the same job for only 10 months, another report showed, indicating high employment instability among the group.
Redundancy and inefficiency in the government's use of the settlement support budget also require tight scrutiny, experts added.
Defector groups and North Korean watchers complain the bulk of the billions of won intended for defector assistance often ends up being used for redundant research projects or in the hands of defector assistance agents.
"The Unification Ministry's supervision of (defector) support agencies seems insufficient," an official at one of the aid groups said, calling for a revamp in the use of the state budget as well as the management of defector support agencies.

text: I just learned tonight that a nice "shruti" costs about $700, $800 in Berkeley, Calif. I forgot the name she called it. A friend also travels to India on seminars and finances her trips by bringing these giant and other beautiful looping instruments. I saw two of them together in action. The droning comes in part because the giant strings vibrate against the bridge which curves down into the hole of the instrument, if I may call it that. The bridge is not sharp like a guitar's, but flat and curved. The vibration is not unlike a fretless bass or guitar, or a National steel guitar, except that it's really amplified somehow acoustically. The harder you pluck the more it vibrates. I think the strings are tuned alike or in fifths, and all you do is pluck each in turn and incessantly. The result is totally amazing, especially when you're in the room and you get the room reverberations. Gizmo is not a kind word for it. I felt I was in the presence of a very old and wise instrument, something that, like the current conversation on Loop Religion is reminding us, resonates with something deeply spiritual in us, something that transcends culture and other trappings... I saw them tonight at a class with Terry Riley of all people. But more on this on Sunday or Monday. I'm busy with this now. -----Original Message----- From: David Myers [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Friday 09 April 1999 1:22 PM To: email@example.com Subject: Re: electronic >One of my friends, a bansuri player - is always appearing with new >electronic gadjets that he picks up in India - he must have at least 8 >different shruti boxes ( drone makers) and 3 or 4 electronic tabla >machines >- one of them even has a tv style remote control!

Things that my children have ruined number 467: I no longer have the time, patience or energy to read actual books that often. This is a brutal realisation to me, considering that I spent most of my formative years in my pink NHS specs, sucking my thumb, buried in lit. Aged about 12, I went to the library one Saturday morning, took out four books, and read them all cover to cover by the following morning. True story – ask my mum, she loves that one.
Dabbles into book reading have seen my tolerance and preferred genre migrate away from anything involving romance, multiple characters and a sad ending. I just haven't got the spare emotion mate, I'm highly strung as it is. Thrillers, unsolved murders, psychopaths and nomads are now right up my strasse. Oh, I love an angry victim hell bent on revenge with a caffeine dependency.
So when Mumsnet asked me to review Melanie Raabe's debut novel The Trap, I thought I'd call some matchsticks up to duty and force my tired peepers into getting back in the book game. The thriller, originally written in German and translated into English, focuses around the reclusive Linda Conrads, who is a successful author despite fostering a minimal public presence. The reader learns that she discovered the body of her murdered sister some twelve years previously, the trauma of which led her to seek permanent refuge and privacy within her home.
The murderer has never been identified, but Linda witnessed him flee the scene. Years later, Victor Lenzen is a successful journalist living in close proximity to her house. Linda sees him on television and recognises him instantly, vowing to finally bring him to justice. Famously media shy, she decides to write a new novel to mirror the events of the murder, and grant Victor her only press interview to promote the book. In the lead up to the interview, she sets about developing her mental and physical strength in order to unnerve and interrogate him into a confession.
Linda's parallel novel is interwoven throughout the main text, which creates an interesting effect of simultaneously delivering the events of the past alongside the resulting consequences. In addition, the singular perspective of the author ensures that by the time the reader meets Victor, he is a mysterious enigma of juxtapositions and preconceptions.
The basis of the plot is unique enough to keep the pages turning, but in parts the novel is slightly too formulaic and the main character isn't particularly likeable. Despite a lengthy buildup, by the time the day of the interview dawns, we still don't have a great deal of insight into her persona, which made it difficult for me to resonate with her motives. Still, Raabe has constructed the novel with tension and curiosity, and at times her portrayal of a tortured mind is captivating.

Today in New West news: Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) will not run in 2018, new report highlights Missoula/Bozeman entrepreneurship, overcrowding in Montana national parks, and Colorado wind power.
In a move that's rocked politics in both Utah in Washington D.C., U.S. Representative Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) has announced he will not run for office again in 2018. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Chaffetz says he will "return to the private sector" come January 2019, with some speculating that Chaffetz is eying a run for the governorship.
However, in a late breaking development, according to USA Today, Chaffetz may not even finish out his current term in the House: "I will continue to weigh the options, but I may depart early," Chaffetz told KSL Newsradio host Doug Wright in a text. "The state needs to figure out how this works." From the Salt Lake Tribune:
"There's an infinite array of possibilities, but I turned 50 [years old], I'm sleeping on a cot in my office, I've been away more than 1,500 nights, and it's just time to recalibrate, to think about your life and what you're doing," Chaffetz said in an interview. "I always said I'd get in, serve and get out."
The five-term Republican, who rose from a relatively unknown figure to the chairmanship of one of Congress' most powerful committees, said he would return to the private sector after his term ends in January 2019 and that his decision is based solely on his promise to serve a short time and his yearning to spend more time with his family.
"I love the work, but I love my family more. People will try to come up with guesses and none of which will be true of why I'm leaving," he said, adding that he may later opt for another bid for office, including Utah governor. Gov. Gary Herbert has said he's not likely to seek another term.
"All the options are still on the table," Chaffetz said. "I'm not opening or closing the door on anything."
As chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Chaffetz has faced increasing criticism for his lack of investigation into President Donald Trump's potential conflicts of interest and Russia's meddling in the U.S. election. He was jeered at a recent town hall. And an unknown Democrat, Kathryn Allen, had amassed $500,000 — $100,000 more than Chaffetz — to challenge him.
[Utah Governor Gary] Herbert said he "was as stunned as anyone" to hear that Chaffetz would not seek re-election.
"His razor-sharp mind, expansive knowledge and gift for communicating will serve him well when he transitions into the private sector," Herbert said.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who Chaffetz said had pleaded with him to run again for his seat, praised the Utah congressman in a tweet, calling him a "great defender of liberty and limited government." White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus texted Chaffetz that he was "Shocked!" and then called to chat.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, lauded Chaffetz's track record as Oversight chairman.
Looking north, a new report spearheaded by the Montana High Tech Business Alliance has found that Missoula and Bozeman exhibit some of the highest concentrations of entrepreneurship in the United States. According to a MHTBA press release, both cities show not only high initial startup success but also carry-over success from spinoff companies. From the press release:
Missoula and Bozeman rank 9th and 12th highest in startup rates among 394 areas in the U.S., and the proportion of high-growth firms is particularly high in Bozeman, higher than Denver (9th in the nation) and almost compatible with Washington, D.C. (1st in the nation), according to the report. Montana also demonstrates vibrant spinoff activities originated from RightNow Technologies and clusters of photonics companies in Bozeman, with former RightNow employees creating at least 15 companies and the photonics cluster generating a series of companies every decade since the 1980s.
"A New Frontier: Entrepreneurship Ecosystems in Bozeman and Missoula, Montana" is the first-ever study of the Montana ecosystem and is important because there have been few studies of entrepreneurship in small towns and rural areas. The report is a result of joint research by the Montana High Tech Business Alliance, MonTEC, the Blackstone LaunchPads at the University of Montana and Montana State University, and Kansas researchers Yasuyuki Motoyama, Ph.D., Emily Fetsch and Sharah Davis and is based on 42 interviews of Montana entrepreneurs and support organizations and a survey of 178 companies in the region.
"This report overturns common assumptions about entrepreneurship in smaller metros and rural areas," said Christina Henderson, executive director of the Montana High Tech Business Alliance and a co-author of the study. "Montana's recent startup boom shows that disruptive technology is bringing high-paying jobs to rural communities, that Montana's high quality of life and beautiful landscape are a magnet for knowledge workers, and that it is possible – even common – for entrepreneurs to build global businesses in very small towns."
The study found that Montana's high level of entrepreneurship is leveraged by dense networks of active local support organizations – non-profits, university-related organizations, government and successful entrepreneurs serving as mentors to a younger cohort of entrepreneurs.
Active non-profit business support resources ranged from universities (University of Montana and Montana State University), industry networks (Montana High Tech Business Alliance and Montana Photonics Industry Alliance), publicly funded organizations (Montana Manufacturing Extension Center) and other organizations such as Montana Code School or 1 Million Cups.
Keeping with Montana, according to the Missoulian, a new report out from the University of Montana's Bureau of Business and Economic Research raises questions about how Montana's national parks (and more broadly, the national park system) will be able to weather increased visitation—expected in the coming years. Written by Norma Nickerson, director of UM's Institute for Tourism and Recreation Research in the College of Forestry and Conservation, the report ("Montana's Crowded Parks," available here) hones in on Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks, two of the most popular parks in the whole system. From the Missoulian:
"Many say the parks are crowded," Nickerson wrote. "There are lines to get through the entrance gates, lines at the bathrooms, campgrounds full by mid-morning and traffic is rush-hour-like on park roads. With duties similar to those of a mayor and city council, Glacier and Yellowstone managers have responsibility for public services such as police, fire, sanitation, water, gas, roads and so on to provide a healthy living environment and keep people safe."
Not only that, but park managers have a federally mandated duty to "conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife in the parks in a manner that will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."
In Glacier, it's not uncommon for the Logan Pass parking lot to fill up by 11 a.m. every day in July and August. Apgar, the largest campground in Glacier with 194 sites, only had six total days in July and August with sites available. The other three large campgrounds did not have a single July day with a vacancy, and only two days in August. The Avalanche Lake trail has gone from about 30,000 hikers in the 1988 season to 90,000 in the 2011 season, and it has undoubtedly increased since then.
In Yellowstone, search and rescue incidents were up 61 percent in 2015 and motor vehicle accidents with injuries were up 167 percent. Emergency medical responses were up 37 percent and Life Flight evacuations were up 25 percent.
Nickerson notes that, more often that, quality trumps quantity in terms of the complaints visitors levy against each other. In other words, they don't mind the number of people as much as the ones who are acting rude or putting themselves in harm's way.
Finally, a quick look at Colorado. According to the Denver Post, the Centennial State has come in at fourth in the nation for wind-power jobs as well as electricity generation:
The Rocky Mountain state held its No. 4 ranking for wind employment with more than 6,000 jobs, which were driven by manufacturing from the likes of Creative Foam, O'Neal Steel and Vestas, according to the report.
Across the country, the wind industry added 15,000 jobs, growing the total number of wind jobs to 102,000.
Colorado clinched the No.7 spot for the nation's fastest growing states when its wind generation jumped by 26.1 percent, according to AWEA. The state generated 9,425 MWh, which is enough to power 871,000 homes and is the eighth most in the country.
Wind provided 17.3 percent of Colorado's energy — the seventh highest percentage in the country, according to the report.
