Key Findings
- Mobile infrastructure sharing can help MNOs reduce opex by up to XX% and capex by as much as XX%, depending on factors such as the physical landscape and the stage of mobile network deployment.
- Regulatory authorities in many countries scrutinize infrastructure sharing deals to keep in check any anticompetitive behavior by the MNOs. In Africa and the Middle East, regulators have also been supporting infrastructure sharing in order to lower barriers to entry for new telecom players as well as help reduce the environmental impact of networks.
- Tower offloading by mobile operators is becoming the norm in Africa and the Middle East, as it saves mobile operators significant amounts and eases the entry for new operators. By year-end 2015, roughly XX% of the regions towers will be managed by independent tower companies, with the "Big Four" accounting for more than XX% of externally managed towers.
- Given the growing demand for mobile and data services, the need for towers will increase in the future. The huge investments required in order to meet that need make tower sharing a logical alternative for operators. Operators can also expand their networks quickly by renting existing towers from independent tower companies.
Infrastructure Sharing in Africa and the Middle East: Debt Reduction and Rural Coverage Requirements Drive Sharing, a Telecom Insider Report by Pyramid Research, analyzes the various types of infrastructure sharing, the operational and economic benefits as well as the risks and concerns of operators around sharing their infrastructure assets.

Adam Sandler turns on charm in "Bedtime Stories"
By Kirk Honeycutt
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Has Adam Sandler been defanged?
"Bedtime Stories" is his first family-friendly comedy, not to mention his first for Walt Disney Pictures. But if Sander can startle us in a dark, obsessive role like "Punch-Drunk Love," he can surprise us here, too. In a modern-day fairy tale about hopes, aspirations and family, Sander displays a winning form under the light and mischievous direction of Adam Shankman("Bringing Down the House").
While not being pitched exclusively as a holiday item, the Christmas Day release makes a better movie than those generic comedies manufactured this time of year. The hits-to-misses ratio for its gags is above average, the sentimentality is kept in check and the film plays well to its audience. It winks nicely at parents and smiles broadly to children. Disney might have a hit with this late-arriving sleigh ride.
Sandler is playing his usual underachiever, though a tad less angry and a bit more wistful than his raunchier characters. His dad (Jonathan Pryce in a scene-setting cameo) once ran a motel in Hollywood. Alas, he was forced to sell to a germophobic hotelier (Richard Griffiths). His son now works as a handyman at the high-rise luxury hotel that occupies the spot.
When his sister (Courteney Cox) loses her job as a school principal, she pages her brother to share baby-sitting chores with a friend (Keri Russell) while she goes on a job interview out of state. Having been strangely estranged from his niece and nephew (Laura Ann Kesling and Jonathan Morgan Heit), his only child-minding skill resides in an ability to spin bedtime stories.
These are particularly memorable since Sandler channels his career angst into these tales. They range from a medieval castle to the Old West and outer space, but the theme of the peasant who would be a prince is ever present. The hero strives to get a better job and win over a maiden, always besting an opponent that looks suspiciously like the hotel's obsequious manger (Guy Pearce).
Soon the children are contributing to and even editing his stories. (They prefer happy endings.) Then, weirdly, the stories start coming true in real life. Or at least parts of them do. Now if Sandler could just figure out how this happens. For he seems to be making progress against the manager, even winning over his party-girl girlfriend (Teresa Palmer), who just happens to be the hotelier's daughter.
Matt Lopez and Tim Herlihy's screenplay never can quite determine the how and why of these magical transformations. But they do fully exploit the comic opportunities of a man who has stumbled upon a potential winning formula but isn't sure how to game the system. This is a strong vehicle for Sander's comic gifts, one that surrounds him with frequently amusing characters. Continued...

A career in the food service industry can be challenging, rewarding and exciting. Some careers in this field require post-secondary school training, while others are entry-level positions appropriate for all job seekers. The Vocational Information Center offers a list of job descriptions for careers in the food industry.
Chefs and Head Cooks
Chefs and Head Cooks are "usually responsible for directing cooks in the kitchen, dealing with food-related concerns and providing leadership," according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook of 2010-2011. While these professionals are actively involved in the planning of menus and hands-on preparation of food, they are also managers in the kitchens where they work. This is a senior position in a restaurant or hotel, and while many chefs have post-secondary training in culinary arts, there are still opportunities for individuals to work their way into these positions with experience.
Agricultural Inspectors
Individuals seeking a career outside the walls of a restaurant or hotel might consider working in the field of agricultural inspection. The CareerZone advises that agricultural inspectors engage in "work activities that include practical, hands-on problems and solutions. They often deal with plants, animals and real-world materials like wood, tools and machinery. Many of these occupations require working outside, and do not involve a lot of paperwork or working closely with others." These professionals "inspect agricultural commodities, processing equipment and facilities, and fish and logging operations, to ensure compliance with regulations and laws governing health, quality, and safety." Most jobs in this industry require vocational education, on-the-job training or an associate's degree.
Sommelier or Wine Waiter
Sommeliers manage the wine service of an establishment. A sommelier might work in a resort, hotel chain, restaurant, wine bar or even a cruise ship. His "responsibilities can include designing a wine list or cocktail menu, selecting wines and beverages, advising customers, serving drinks correctly, ordering, controlling and rotating stock, or assisting with other front-of-house tasks," according to the Connexions Direct job database. No academic credentials are generally required for this career, with knowledge and expertise in the field learned on the job.

Next person to disparage anyone who likes or dislikes the O in the anthem will be treated as a personal insult and breaking forum rules. You like it? Great. You don't? Happens to also be acceptable here.
Disrespect is a matter of opinion, not fact. I am ok with someone thinking that the Ooooo is disrespectful, but I am just as equally ok with the folks who view it as a part of the tradition of baseball, and to some extent, America.
After all, it's free speech any way you slice it.
Hey 509 was it the 4 idiots who stood up the last qtr?? Yelled to the 1 guy if your going to spend all the money for tickets and travel at least get a jersey for someone on the team. Guy was wearing a Colvin jersey. He hasn't played fior years. Kinda like seeing a Steeler fan a couple years ago in a Lloyd jersery...
As a life long fan of the O's I love it! The National Anthem was penned in Baltimore. My feeling is that we OOOOOOOOOOOwn it! I've seen purple O's hats all over town in support of the Ravens. I love that our fans support BOTH teams and that the teams themselves support their counterparts! I'd buy an orange and black Ravens hat in an instant if I found one! I yell OOOOOOO at every game in MD and those that I attend elsewhere..... it will stick with me for the rest of my life. I'm a HOMER, and I love my teams, and my support for them will never falter. In yelling OOOOOOO, my feeling is that I give RESPECT to Baltimore....the O's and the man that created our National Anthem....in Baltimore's respectful way!~
Can you all imagine the town if the O's and Ravens BOTH win their titles??? Natty Boh would be depleted of their reserves and looking to make more!!

It's based on reports, but anti-Israel stories have been published on the Huffington Post with less:
Western intelligence analysts say a new missile launching facility in Iran will likely be used for testing ballistic missiles, not for launching satellites into space as claimed by the Iranians.
The IHS Jane's Military and Security Assessments Intelligence Centre published a photo taken last month of the newly discovered site, which is located 25 miles south east of the city of Shahrud in northern Iran.
Analysts at the Centre said the unfinished site has no storage for the liquid rocket fuel used in Iran's domestic satellite program, suggesting it is built for ballistic missiles using solid fuel.
Shashank Joshi, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute who has written about the Iranian missile program, told The Telegraph: "We often talk about Iran's nuclear program, but what really spooks countries in the region is the ballistic missiles that could act as a delivery system.
"America has long said Iran might be able to test intercontinental ballistic missiles by 2015," he said, and added that Iran had been developing solid fuel rockets which are quicker to deploy than liquid fuel versions.
According to Matthew Clements, who edited the Intelligence Centre's assessments, "This site could be a facility for launching satellites into orbit. However, Iran is already building at least one other site for this purpose and, looking at the satellite imagery we have got, we believe that this facility is most likely used for testing ballistic missiles.

Habitat for Humanity International is a global nonprofit Christian housing organization that seeks to put God's love into action by bringing people together to
build homes, communities and hope. Since 1976, Habitat has served more than 500,000 families by welcoming people of all races, religions and nationalities to
construct, rehabilitate or preserve homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve
their shelter conditions. For more information, to donate or to volunteer, please visit our website, or follow us on
Facebook, Twitter or join Habitat for
Humanity's blog community.
Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner)
families. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit, financed with affordable loans. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are used to build still
more Habitat houses. Habitat is not a giveaway program. In addition to a down payment and the monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of
their own labor -- sweat equity -- into building their Habitat house and the houses of others.
The cost of houses varies from as little as $800 in some developing countries to an average of $46,600 in the United States. The cost of a Habitat House varies
depending on the size of the family and location of the home. Habitat houses are affordable for low-income families because there is no profit included in the sale price
and no interest charged on the mortgage. Mortgage length varies from 7 to 30 years.
Habitat for Humanity's work is accomplished at the community level by affiliates -- independent, locally run, nonprofit organizations. Each affiliate coordinates all
aspects of home building in its area -- fundraising, building site selection, partner family selection and support, house construction and mortgage servicing. Habitat for
Humanity International's headquarters, located in Americus, Georgia, provides information, training and a variety of other support services to Habitat affiliates
worldwide. All Habitat affiliates are asked to "tithe" -- to give 10 percent of their contributions to fund house building work in other nations. Tithing provides
much-needed funds for international building.
Habitat is a worldwide, grass-roots movement. There are more than 2,000 active affiliates in more than 80 countries, including all 50 states of the United States, the
District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico.
Families in need of decent shelter apply to local Habitat for Humanity affiliates. The affiliate's family selection committee chooses homeowners based on their level of
need, their willingness to become partners in the program and their ability to repay the no-interest loan. Every affiliate follows a nondiscriminatory policy of family
selection. Neither race nor religion is a factor in choosing the families who receive Habitat houses. If your family, or a family you know, is in need of decent, affordable
housing, contact the Habitat for Humanity affiliate nearest you using the Habitat for Humanity search
engine to find the names and phone numbers of affiliates in your area, or contact the Habitat help line at (800) 422-4828, ext. 2551. Your local affiliate can give you
information on the availability, size, costs and sweat-equity requirements for Habitat houses in your area, as well as information on the application process.
Donations are used as designated by the donor. Undesignated gifts are used where most needed and for administrative expenses.
An ecumenical, international board of directors determines policy and oversees and guides the mission of Habitat for Humanity International. Board members are
dedicated volunteers who share a commitment to creating affordable housing around the world. Each Habitat for Humanity affiliate is managed by its own local
volunteer board.
For additional information, visit the Habitat for Humanity contact information page. You can also
write or call the Habitat for Humanity headquarters: Habitat for Humanity International 121 Habitat Street Americus, GA 31709-3498 U.S.A. (229) 924-6935.

With a shortlist of three Turner Prize winners and one nominee, it's perhaps inevitable the six proposals for Trafalgar Square's empty fourth plinth are show-stoppers. One, however, is bound to dominate discussions.
Antony Gormley's model, on display at the National Gallery with the five other maquettes, isn't immediately striking. Yet his proposal might rattle a few cages: Gormley plans to make his statue out of 8,760 volunteers who will each stand for an hour on the plinth over the course of 12 months.
It could be criticised as gimmicky, but Gormley's One And Other would break down the barrier between spectator and subject. Apart from Tracey Emin - who has opted for a group of meerkats huddled together - Gormley is the only artist to choose a figurative approach.
Three refer to the plinth's location in the shadow of Nelson's Column: Jeremy Deller aims to present the spoils of war Roman-style by displaying the remains of a car destroyed in Iraq; Yinka Shonibare proposes a replica of Nelson's HMS Victory in a giant glass bottle; while Bob and Roberta Smith's design is an illuminated peace sign powered by the sun and wind.
None of the shortlisted entries have the poignance of Marc Quinn's Alison Lapper Pregnant but they each pack enough of a punch to help reinvigorate public art.
Until Mar 30, National Gallery, Trafalgar Square WC2, daily 10am to 6pm (Wed to 9pm), free. Tel: 020 7747 2885. Tube: Leicester Square/Charing Cross

DIY Cruise Control Dash Light Fix
Background Info: The 1998 TJ I got a few weeks ago came with factory cruise control, which functions properly. However, the dash light did not light up to indicate CC was on. I replaced the bulb, thinking it was burned out, but that did not fix the problem...
Summary: I dug deeper and found that my instrument cluster did not have the circuitry required to light the bulb. This writeup explains what I did to swap the circuitry from the shift light over to the cruise control light. The shift light no longer works (it was annoying anyway), but the CC light does. Victory!
This procedure may work for those who have DIY installed cruise control into their Jeep but don't have an instrument cluster which supports it. I have no idea why mine had factory CC but no dash light. This also may be useful info for people who are looking to put their own 'custom' dash lights in.
Required Tools: Phillips screwdriver, fine-tipped soldering iron, solder, desoldering-wick, LOTS of patience. Optional: Magnifying glass, tweezers, even more patience.
Required Materials*: Replacement dash bulbs if any of yours are burned out
(* I moved the shift light circuitry in order to make the CC light work. If you want both to work, you'll need a BC373 transistor (NPN Darlington type), a 47k 0603-size resistor, a 10K 0603-size resistor, and a 1A rectifier diode)
Technical Level: Moderate to Difficult. Very fine soldering/desoldering required.
Technical Description: Basically the way the instrument cluster works is that for each dash light, there is a transistor, a diode, and two surface-mount (read "tiny") resistors which connect it to the processor on the board. You will desolder the components which connect the shift-light, and move them to the spaces which are supposed to connect the cruise control light, but were never soldered in at the factory because your Jeep didn't come with that option!
Step 0 (Prep): Remove your instrument cluster. It's extremely easy. Take out 11 or so screws and it comes right out. There's a writeup how to do it here:
TJ White Gauge Overlays - 1
Step 1
2 Attachment(s)
Step 1: (Removing the circuit board)
Remove the plastic panel which protects the circuit board on the back of the cluster. Carefully lift the tabs up on the side and pull the panel off.
I annotated the pictures below to show which components to move in the next step. However, you'll need to desolder them from the back side of the board. Take ALL the screws out of the board (there are 24 for the gauges plus 4 for the connectors), and carefully remove it so you can desolder from the back side.
Step 2
2 Attachment(s)
Step 2: Now that the board is removed, you will desolder the components listed below. Refer to the attached pictures which show the exact locations of the components.
Note: All of the 'unused' holes which you will be putting components into will have solder in them and need to be desoldered as well.
1.) Desolder the diode which connects to the shift light, and solder it into the holes next to the right side black connector. NOTE: the "stripe" on the diode MUST point toward the top of the board, or else it won't work!
2.) Desolder the bottom-most transistor in the center of the board, and solder it into the top-most position (the bottom position controls the shift light and yes you guessed it the top position controls the cruise control light).
The next step shows the components to move on the BACK side of the board.
Step 3
1 Attachment(s)
Step 3: I have annotated the pictures below to show the locations of the 2 resistors you need to move on the BACK SIDE of the board.
1.) There are 2 tiny surface mount resistors on the reverse side of the board next to each transistor. Move them from the bottom-most positions, to the top-most positions, just like you did with the transistor. The resistor on the left needs to stay on the left, etc, but unlike the diode, resistors are not polarized so you can solder them in facing either direction.
This step is the hardest as the resistors are so small. Do this over a large white towel so if they drop you can find them easily. You may want to use tweezers to put them in place, and a 2nd person to hold them there while you solder.
2.) Put a bulb in the Cruise Control light space! (I swapped the shift bulb over to the cruise because the shift light won't work anymore anyway)
Step 4
1 Attachment(s)
Step 4: Put everything back together and try it out! Once you get the instrument cluster itself put together, I recommend only 'tacking' it in with 2 screws to the dash, so if it doesn't work on the first try you don't have to remove everything to get it out again.
FYI, my cruise control dash light turns on for a moment at startup (along with all the other dash lights), and also turns on when cruise control is turned on (but not necessarily 'set'). Other model-years may operate differently.
Awesome write-up... Just wanted to comment and say thanks! This is one of those threads that no one will respond to until one day you've forgotten about it and someone will write on how great and helpful it was!
Keep the write-ups coming!
Thanks! I shall quietly wait for that day...
But maybe in the meantime I'll get a mod to link this in the DIY sticky thread.
Very nice write up. I have cruise but im almost positive there isn't a spot for a light. Unless its just hidden, you can see all the others even without them lighting up in the sun usually.
nice write up look forward to more like these.
Great write-up. Once I get my cluster problem slammed I'll probably give it a shot.
My 4 WD light doesn't light, hopefully its the bulb, will give this a try. Thanks

CANADA FX DEBT-C$ strengthens as Canada housing starts seen lifting GDP
* Canadian dollar at C$1.0908 or 91.68 U.S. cents * Bond prices lower across the maturity curve By Solarina Ho TORONTO, June 9 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar firmed against its U.S. counterpart and outperformed other major currencies on Monday after data showed Canadian housing starts came in ahead of expectations in May. A report from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp showed seasonally adjusted annualized housing starts rose to 198,324 last month, while April was revised higher to 196,687 units. Analysts had forecast 185,000 for May. The data suggested housing will contribute to economic growth in the second quarter after an unusually frigid winter put a chill on construction. "Most of (the Canadian dollar) strength came in tandem with the stronger-than-expected housing starts number which, a combination of that and the slight revision to last month, would suggest that the housing market is providing more of a lift to GDP than anyone expected," said Camilla Sutton, chief currency strategist at Scotiabank. "We are trading up as well as Aussie, which suggests it's somewhat of a global growth, positive move, and that's just the ongoing theme of the day." The Canadian dollar closed at C$1.0908 to the greenback, or 91.68 U.S. cents, up from Friday's close of C$1.0930, or 91.49 U.S. cents. Trading this week may be uneventful, with the Bank of Canada's semi-annual Financial System Review on Thursday and a press conference by Governor Stephen Poloz following the release of the review being the highlights. "This is going to be a quiet week overall for every market, currency markets as well, after pretty solid action last week," said Benjamin Reitzes, senior economist and foreign exchange strategist at BMO capital Markets. Reitzes noted that if yields, particularly U.S. Treasury yields, continue to rise, it could weigh on the Canadian dollar as higher U.S. yields attract flow to the greenback. Canadian government bond prices were lower across the maturity curve, with the two-year down 1.5 Canadian cents to yield 1.070 percent, and the benchmark 10-year off 3 Canadian cents to yield 2.325 percent.

Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. (ACTC.OB) Perseverance and Dedication Leads to New Highs
After announcing the Food and Drug Administration's approval to proceed with clinical trials using human embryonic stem cells to research a therapy for Stargardt's Macular Dystrophy a couple weeks ago, shares of Advanced Cell Technology continue to run northbound. The news shot the stock price up from around 4 cents to approximately 8 cents in a matter of hours as traders jumped on the "momentum train" and investors rejoiced that the breakthrough they have been waiting for started showing true signs of becoming a reality.
The news was followed a few days later by the Company filing an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the FDA for another clinical trial to study Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration through similar therapies as will be researched in the Stargardt's clinical trials. Given the successes shown in pre-clinical research and the previous approval for the human embryonic stem cell research just granted, the common consensus is that there is a strong likelihood that this new set of human trials may be granted approval as well. With only one other company in history having received FDA approval for clinical trials using stem cells, Advanced Cell Technology is setting itself apart by leaps and bounds.
Other recent news released on the second day of December revealed that the Company has been cleaning up its balance sheet in a manner not often seen by other bulletin board companies. Having to go through a variety of financing options to support all the research that has been dedicated to bringing the Advanced Cell Technology technologies to human research, the Company racked up some large debt, but has reduced the debentures to under $900,000 by eliminating over $33 million in debentures in the last fifteen months.
As the good news continues to flow and investors are being kept abreast of Company details through blog comments from William M. Caldwell IV, Chairman and CEO of Advanced Cell Technology, the stock price continues to soar. After a slight pullback that can only be attributed to profit takers securing some gains after the run to over 11 cents on the November 30th, the price per share has been repeatedly hitting new 52-week highs, with the price surging to over 15 cents in today's trading.
Momentum has a strong grip on the stock at this moment as rumors and speculation spread and help fuel the fire. But what is even more interesting is what can honestly be attained over the next several years within the multi-billion dollar industry. It has taken some serious perseverance and dedication, but the Company appears to have found itself in a very nice position where few other companies will ever be.

Glastonbury is one of the biggest and best festivals in the world, full of rock n roll debauchery. And Buddhism.
The Dalai Lama is due to appear at the festival this summer. The bizarre announcement was made on his website, reading:
His Holiness will give a talk at the Glastonbury Festival in the morning.
The leader of Tibetan Buddhism isn't that strange a booking for the festival, because it regularly has motivational and public speakers. But it is quite a surprise that he is only the second act to be confirmed, joining Lionel Richie.
One thing is for certain, when he goes to the backstage bar, spirits will be lifted (Sorry not sorry).
