Rwanda's parks see increased visits and tourism receipts grow
Kigali, 4 September 2013 - The Rwanda Development Board (RDB) today said Rwanda had collected $142.5 million in tourism revenues and registered 664,729 visitors in the first semester of 2013, an increase of 11% and 14% respectively compared to the same period last year.
Travel to the Volcanoes National Park in Northern Rwanda and gorilla tracking continues to be safe despite incidents further in Rubavu area related to the on-going conflict in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo, which have been contained.
Rica Rwigamba, Head of Tourism and Conservation at RDB said: "The increase in tourism revenues and visitor numbers are important in driving economic growth and generating prosperity for all Rwandans. We are working to ensure visitors to Rwanda get value for money and unparalleled tourism experiences. In addition, visitor safety and security in Rwanda's parks and other tourist destinations continue to be a priority."
Ms Rwigamba also pointed out that investments in the sector have been boosted by the entry of Park Inn by Radisson and Protea Hotels, who have both signed agreements with developers to run their establishments and are set to be operational by early 2014.
Tourism is Rwanda's largest foreign exchange earner with $282 million earned in 2012.

A post by Scott Bils, Managing Partner, Leverhawk.
As cloud computing matures and success models emerge, enterprises are now getting serious about using cloud to drive business and IT transformation. Successful cloud adoption is about more than technology and platforms though – it also will require a more complete understanding of the true economic, organizational and operational implications of the cloud. Unfortunately these are issues that most IT leaders are ill-prepared to address.
The Cloud IT Executive Summit (CITES) provides an unparalleled opportunity to hear the latest insights from industry experts, thought leaders and enterprise executives who are leveraging cloud and other next generation IT platforms to drive disruptive business strategies and achieve competitive advantage. The Summit will provide an opportunity for forward thinking CIOS and IT decision-makers to engage in peer-level discussions and learn best practices from other executives who are leading the migration to next generation IT models. The CITES sessions will feature a variety of discussions on cloud-enabled transformation, including:
- ITaaS – The New Operating Model with Scott Bils, Managing Partner at Leverhawk
- Cloud Strategy and Economics, with Joe Weinman, Senior VP at Telx
- CIO perspectives on Cloud Strategy with Bob Gill, Research Director at Gartner
- The Future of Cloud Computing, with Jamie Goldstein, Partner at North Bridge Venture Partners,
- Customer Perspectives on Cloud Transformation with Latisys
The Cloud is fundamentally transforming the "business model" of IT, requiring CIOs and their organizations to become service providers themselves. CITES will provide a roadmap for executives seeking to navigate the strategic, organizational and operational issues on the way to transformation.

Sensors For Use In Aerospace, Military and Industrial Markets
- Friday, 09 September 2011
Please Login at the top
of the page to download.
The force balance sensor is intended for DC and low frequency acceleration measurements, such as those encountered in the motion of vehicles, aircraft and ships. These sensors are capable of measuring levels from as low as 0.0001g up to 200g's over a frequency range from DC to 1000Hz. In addition, due to their inherent sensitivity to gravity, the force balance accelerometers with certain modifications or special features become excellent instruments for measuring angles of inclination. This type of sensor, often referred to as an inclinometer is useful in applications such as platform leveling, pipeline leveling, gun sight control, borehole mapping and other low level seismic measurement applications.
CRL offers a wide selection of Force Balance Servo Accelerometers and Inclinometers, specifically designed to give the user a diversified choice of sizes, configurations and performance levels for industrial, O.E.M. and military requirements. Many of these sensors have been in-flight missile qualified in accordance with all applicable MIL-Standards/Commercial standards and are currently being used on a variety of our government's most technically demanding military in-flight weapons systems.
CRL also offers servo accelerometers that have been TSO-Approved by the FAA for flight avionics, commercial and general aircraft flight control systems. For over forty five years, high reliability product performance for such critical applications have been a significant feature of CRL Force Balance Servo Accelerometers and Inclinometers.

"I would highly recommend the tour guide that we had in the Serengetti . He was extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and courteous. We all agree that Kensington has first class staff working for them in Africa. All the camps that we stayed at were absolutely beautiful except perhaps for the one in Lake Manyara. All in all it was a spectacular trip!"

"Our trip to Masai Mara via Kensington ran very smoothly. We stayed at the Mara West Lodge. Beautiful location atop a ridge overlooking the Masai Mara plains. Our luxury tents were quite comfortable and the staff/service at the lodge were great. Meals were very nice especially the daily soups. Our guide, Steve, was also great...so knowledgeable and eager to show us many interesting things. He planned our daily game drives and took us on a nature hike one afternoon. He clearly knows and understands this ecosystem. He has an amazing eye, finding animals in fields of tall grasses. Our entire family had an amazing time, trip of a lifetime...would love to go back!"

"Once again, a perfect trip. From Elizabeth's planning to Godfrey's guiding, we could not have asked for a more thorough and well planned safari. I can't wait to come back and do it again, this time with a Kilimanjaro climb added onto the trip!"

"The entire trip was superb - all the transfers, the lodging and the food, the safari experience and the knowledgeable guides. The guide's ability to spot an animal and identify it at a great distance allowed us to see and photograph all the animals on our list and then some. The lodgings were even better than we had hoped and the staff could not possibly have been better. Our trip of a lifetime turned out to be just that."

"We finally returned from the most magical vacation in Morocco and we cannot thank Lily and Kensington Tours enough!! This trip was beyond amazing and we are so appreciative for everything done to make this trip happen last minute for us!
We had a spectacular tour guide that spoke 8 languages, Ismail, and the friendliest and warmest driver, Said, whom made the experience absolutely phenomenal! Not only did we learn and see, but we laughed, danced, ate like pigs, kissed camels and snakes, ran in the Sahara desert under the stars, and enjoyed life - the best gift of all!

"I am so happy that I used Kensington Tours to help with my dream trip to Cape Town South Africa. I was looking for a well respected tour company that planned private guided tours that was not going to cause me my leg, lol. I begin searching companies by reputation and value. I narrowed it down to Kensington Tours because of the quality and value. I felt taken care of prior to my departure due to the detailed itinerary.
From the time of got off the plane to the time I headed back to the states, I was in excellent hands. The service was EXCELLENT! I will definitely use Kensington again. Certainly, a trip of a lifetime!"

"I have travelled all my life. I've combed much of Europe, from The arctic north in Norway to the streets of Seville in Spain, the beaches of Cannes and Nice in France and the medieval heart of Bologna in Italy. I've been on two African safaris (one tented, one not), both "luxurious." I've been on more than a dozen jaunts to India, some guided, others not. Over the years I have discovered that I had rather be lost and disoriented in a foreign country than submit once again to the unbending schedule of a guided tour. Hence I had given up tours of any kind, until Molly Kelly, an American Express travel agent, suggested I might want simply to list the places my friends and I wished to see in Morocco then let Kensington Tours make accessing them in an orderly way not only possible but thoroughly enjoyable as well. And this Kensington Tours did. They pulled our disparate destinations together and designed a far, far better route than we could ever have done on our own. They satisfied all our requests and threw in delicious additions, areas of interest we had never considered or even heard of. Our accommodations were well within our means and wonderful. Our guide and driver, not to mention our Mercedes SUV, could not have pleased us more. In other words, thanks to Molly and her recommending Kensington Tours, we had a sensational holiday. "

"Africa had always been a myth in mind since I was child that was up until a week ago. I just returned from an epic safari adventure! Kenya, Tanzania and the Maasai are sorely missed.
Words cannot fully express the magic of this ever-flowing journey. It was awe-inspiring, breathtaking, free and powerful. My mind keeps playing tricks on me; thinking rather hoping that I'm going to see a giraffe cross a busy NYC street :)
The memories will resonate for a lifetime. To boot, I went on this trip solo; female traveler. Not sure any of it would have been possible w/out Kensington Tours!!! Thank you..."

"I had a wonderful trip visiting the mountain gorillas in Uganda. We were able to get really close to the gorillas and watched their interactions with each other. The local people are so gracious and made every minute a delight. The accomodations were great. I loved waking up in the morning to the sounds of the forest. The added luxury of a massage was a great way to end the trip!"

"Our family of 6 traveled to Morocco for a 9 day Imperial cities discovery, I was absolutely amazing. Our guide Lahcen Zaaim was the best guide we have EVER had and we have traveled to many countries. There was not one subject that he was not knowledgeable about. He made the trip sooooo memorable. He was so flexible and when he picked us up in the mornings to head out, he was talking nonstop to tell us soo much about everything we were seeing. There was soooo much to see in Morocco and he made sure we saw it all.. He truly has a gift in the touring business, you feel as if your leaving your best friend when the trip is over. When we got to the airport in casablanca, he spotted us before we saw him and of course, we asked him, how did you recognize us? He even went as far as to get the King of Moroccos artist to meet us at our riad the night before we left to return home late to do our names in moroccan arabic to frame, They were beautiful, He showed us a picture of the Kings Face he had done for the Palace! Lily Baffour from Kensington planned our trip and she was amazing, planning everything as she thought we would like based on what I told her. She did an Outstanding job and literally sent our Iteniaries by next day air in a beautifully done spiral bound personally book for each family that was going on the trip, SOOOOOO IMPRESSED and she even got the guide we requested!!!! I cant say enough about this trip and Kensington, we will definitely use again!!! We experienced a VERY different culture in going to Morocco and thats what we wanted, a Very different exotic trip and thats what we got!!!! Again our accomodations we Top Notch, staying in the TRuly authenic Riads, they were SOOOOO Luxurious, Plan on taking another suitcase or buying one there because you will buy more things to bring home than any other trip because of all the Handicrafts there, especially in Fes!!!

SPANISH REVOLUTION A BULLETIN PUBLISHED BY THE UNITED LIBERTARIAN ORGANIZATIONS Vol. 1, No. 2 NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 5th, 1936 Price 3 cents REVOLUTIONARY ANTI-FASCISTS MAINTAIN ORDER Anti-fascist Street Patrol in Madrid Insures Public Order. The new order of things has created some problems which must be remedied immediately. Maintenance of public order is one of the problems that is being handled very efficiently in the towns and cities where the necessity has arisen. The anti-Fascist front must construct a new economic order upon the ruins of the old. For this reason public order must be assured and attempts at reactionary sedition quelled. To this end revolutionary military patrols have been formed. The Barcelona patrol force has 700 men from the various anti-Fascist groups. Under the general direction of the anti-Fascist Patrol Committee, they are divided into eleven districts corresponding to the districts of Barcelona. Day and night the patrols keep watch and act as auxiliaries to the Investigation Committee whose function it is to root out all Fascist nests. The revolutionary origin and composition of this body and the important, delicate mission it has to perform makes it an especially valuable aid to the welfare of the workers of Barcelona. A public bulletin informs us of the functions and composition of the patrols. The number of men furnished by each organization is as follows: C.N.T.......................................... 325 Republican Left........ 185 U.G.T........................................ 145 P.O.U.M.................................. 45 Total.................."............ 700 The Catalonian Police A significant process of development is taking place within the ranks of the Catalonian police. The Solidardad Obrera (Anarcho-Syndicalist daily newspaper) and other proletarian publications came out with the demand to purge the ranks of the Guardia de Assalto of the reactionary elements and for the setting up of a joint council of workers and guards (shock police). The appeal found response in the rank and file of this military organization. The Guardia de Assalto (shock troops formed by the republican government in 1932) and the regular police of Barcelona appealed officially to the C.N.T. and the anti-Fascist committee. The result was the setting up of workers and soldiers councils within every unit. The councils represent revolutionary workers and the police. The revolutionary workers are mainly represented by the C.N.T. The (Continued on page 2) All groups and individuals who have received bundles of "Spanish Revolution" are requested to send us all the money they have collected for it as soon as possible. We cannot go on with this important work of publicizing the epoch-making events in Spain unless we have money to pay our printing bills. Serd all funds to J. White, Sec'y, U.L.O., 45 W. 17th St., N.Y. FACTORIES, FIELDS TAKEN BY TOILERS Water and Gas Services Taken Over by C.N.T. The C.N.T. has taken possession of the Water and Gas Co. in Catalonia, one of the largest in Spain. In addition to the water and gas which it supplies to Barcelona, it also supplies gas to Granada, Malaga, Valencia, St. Ferdinand and Santander. The first measures taken by the Workers Council was to abolish high salaries and all posts which served no useful purposes. In this way 240,000 pesetas was made available for effecting long needed sanitary improvements. Subways run by Unions With the outbreak of the Fascist putsch the bourgeois directors of the subway lines (Metro Transversal) abandoned their posts. On July 22 the C.N.T. look over this line and discovered large quantities of arms and ammunition hidden away there by the directors. The same day the other lines were also confiscated. More than a score of high officials, known as enemies of the working class, were dismissed. Committees from the C.N.T. subway employees' local now direct these lines. The Catalonian Generalidad has one advisory member on the committee, but he plays a purely passive role. The technical workers cooperate fully with the committee. Within one month economies of 36,000 pesetas were made. This was done partly by eliminating the high salaries of the directors. Although the eight-hour day still exists in this industry, one of the immediate objectives of the unions is to institute the six-hour day. Steps are being taken to eliminate useless work, sinecures and waste of any kind. On July 24th the main subway line was taken over by the C.N.T. and the U.G.T., represented by a joint committee. The technicians put themselves at the disposal of this committee. In order to effect economies, however, the Committee reduced all high salaries of technicians. Wages of most of the workers have been raised (none lowered) to effect equality of remuneration. Extension of the lines is being planned and fares will be reduced. The Metal Industry is Socialized The metal factory "Vulcan" employing 520 workers was requisitioned July 22, and is controlled by a council consisting of representatives from the C.N.T. and the U.G.T. The factory now supplies materials for the civil war and is This picture, taken near Seville, shows one of the cars requisitioned by the C.N.T. for use in the anti-Fascist militia. The man in the rear of the car holding a machine-gun is Comrade Ortiz, the secretary of the Seville local of the Carpenters' Union of the C.N.T. THE C.N.T. AND THE F.A.I. APPEAL TO ALL THE WORKERS OF THE WORLD! AN APPEAL FOR MORAL AND MATERIAL SOLIDARITY WITH SPANISH WORKERS IN THEIR FIGHT AGAINST FASCISM The Cause of the Spanish Proletariat is the Supreme Cause of Liberty for All the World ANTI-FASCIST INTELLECTUALS! MEN OF FREE CONSCIENCE! SUPPORT THE HEROIC SPANISH FIGHTERS! The National Confederation of Labor (C.N.T.) and the Iberian Anarchist Federation (F.A.I.) addresses this message to the workers of America, Asia, Europe and the world over, in order to solicit moral and material aid. We appeal to the active solidarity of the whole proletariate and to all men who are aware of the decisive nature of the present struggle in Spain. We find it necessary to tell briefly, to all who, though far away, are morally supporting our cause, what the real situation in Spain is. Despite the partisan information disseminated by the various proletarian and political organizations who present the Spanish anti-Fascist movement as exclusively directed by the popular front — in which the Communists and Socialists play the leading role — the truth is different. The struggle against Fascism is being carried on mainly because of the heroism, the fighting spirit and the large number of Spanish workers organized around the C.N.T. and the F.A.I. In Catalonia, we have completely influenced the direction of the movement; realizing the necessity jof crushing Fascism first, we have not limited the movement to something exclusively libertarian. We wanted to maintain the unity of the anti-Fascist front above all. We used our influence in the entire network of Catalonian economic life in the creation of economic councils, work councils in the factories, mines, etc. These councils stabilizing the entire economic life of the region so as to make it the basis for the social organization of the future. But it would be inconceivable at a time when we are struggling heroically and victoriously (Continued on page 3)

I feel that I have to say something about this. As I live in Spain, the cost of delivery for the magazine is prohibitive, so I was delighted to see that I could have an electronic subscription through Zinio. To cut a long story short, the system for downloading what Digital Camera simply did not work. I paid for it, but it did not work. After several unanswered emails, I contacted our Editor section and finally got a reply from Zinio which was useless. Eventually, I made a formal complaint to Paypal, who also got no reply from them. Eventually Paypal gave me my money back but at no point did they get a reply, so Paypal informed me that there will be some sanction placed against them.
I am very disappointed as I would love to subscribe electronically to read the magazine. No I have no way of doing so. The service from them really is appalling if you have a problem. Be careful..

Swelbar: Just Thinking About A Few Things
Yesterday's Wall Street Journal
Susan Carey, Gina Chon and Mike Spector report that Delta Air Lines and TPG Capital are separately evaluating potential bids for American Airlines' parent, AMR. This story, along with the myriad of others discussing a US Airways bid for the Fort Worth, TX carrier, is just a warm-up for the main event of AMR's trip through court-assisted restructuring and the ultimate filing of a plan of reorganization acceptable to creditors.
Delta might seem like an odd suitor. First, we have to accept the fact Richard Anderson's Delta is not your father's Delta. He and his team are aggressive and understand American holds many assets and relationships that are valuable and thus important to Delta (and SkyTeam) like: Chicago (where Delta has been adding select domestic flying), a relationship with British Airways, a relationship with JAL, a relationship with LATAM, more of New York (this is where regulators will really struggle along with the absolute size of the combination), a deep South America presence, more of Mexico, Miami (where Delta has been adding select domestic and international flying), and a way to defragment Los Angeles. It could also simply be an attempt to keep a restructured competitor from emerging.
Delta is reported to have performed an antitrust analysis that concluded - with certain carve outs - the massive combination could pass regulatory scrutiny. While I can see such a combination would bolster Delta's market positions in many areas including the middle and eastern regions of the U.S., across the Pacific and into burgeoning Latin America, there is also a lot of overlap between hubs. If Detroit and Cincinnati competed before, imagine the hub competition – and redundant flying – with Chicago thrown into the mix. Nonetheless, just on sheer size alone, I think an American-Delta combination would prove hard for U.S. regulators to grasp and approve. Delta would also have a difficult task of selling such a merger to an already skeptical European Union.
Fort Worth-based TPG, on the other hand, likes to work with strategic partners according to the Journal. TPG has strong ties to the current management team at US Airways. Richard Schifter, TPG partner, served on US Airways Board of Directors. Schifter is currently a director at Republic Holdings. Schifter and another TPG partner, David Bonderman, have extensive ties to the airline industry stretching from Continental to Ryanair. No one should be surprised a private equity concern like TPG Capital might have an interest in a restructured AMR. For TPG, the strategic partnership possibilities are many and include US Airways, British Airways or any oneworld partner that fears the loss of its only meaningful access to the traffic rich U.S. market.
This Wall Street Journal story highlights something I think is very important; AMR is attractive to strategic buyers as well as a financial buyer like private equity. Today, the list of names publicly discussed as interested in AMR is three. That list will grow over the coming months.
It is also highly likely that this story was leaked by a party to mask something else. We will see. It is important to remember potential bidders will likely wait a few months until a lot of difficult decisions regarding network and fleet are largely complete. They'll wait until contentious negotiations with labor are complete – probably including layoffs - as any new owner will not want to get their fingernails dirty in that process. Potential bidders will also likely wait to see how creditors are treated in a debtor negotiated exit plan.
A question remains however: will any bid attempt by a strategic or a financial buyer for AMR be friendly or hostile? US Airways tried an unsuccessful hostile run for Delta. There are a myriad of possibilities here and all that is guaranteed is the debtor has the exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization until the court says otherwise. That plan may include an offer from a strategic or a financial interest, but at this point, it is all conjecture providing an opportunity to opine. That said the news reported yesterday officially begins AMR's journey through bankruptcy.
If there is an airline company built with more innovation and creativity than LAN, then someone give me a call and let me know who it is. Or was it just being in the right place at the right time? Either way, LAN Airlines has quietly grown into one of the global elite carriers and has earnings and a market capitalization to match.
LAN is an airline I rarely mention, but have a deep admiration for. Based in Santiago, Chile, LAN's strategy of taking equity stakes and, in effect, becoming a surrogate flag carrier for a country in an economically struggling region where other airlines have failed, has been brilliant. The strategy has allowed the former Lan Chile to diversify its traffic base away from Chile-only and grow to become the de facto flag-carrier for other countries on the continent. LAN's ability to take advantage of non-Chilean country bilaterals has produced growth opportunities where a reliance on Chile-only would have only led to diminishing returns.
The carrier began as Línea Aeropostal Santiago-Arica in 1929 before becoming Línea Aérea Nacional de Chile (Lan Chile) in 1932. The Chilean government privatized Línea Aérea Nacional de Chile in 1989, and the carrier absorbed Chile's second carrier, Ladeco, in 1995. Today, the LAN umbrella covers LAN Chile; LAN Peru; LAN Dominicana; LAN Ecuador; LAN Argentina; LAN Cargo; and LAN Express, among others. Some said LAN refers to Latin American Network. Any way you cut it, LAN is a brand!
LAN was just given authority to complete its merger with Brazilian-based TAM and the combined entity will be LATAM. To become a true South American airline powerhouse, LAN absolutely needed a significant stake in Brazil, which it now has.
One of the merger problems is each carrier is currently a member of a competing alliance. LAN is a member of oneworld and TAM is a member of STAR. If Brazil was essential for LAN, imagine just how important the emerging market is to each of the global alliances. This story might take on the characteristics of the fight for JAL between SkyTeam and oneworld. South America is yet another critical geographic area where oneworld is under attack.
American Eagle
Two months ago, most industry watchers were scratching their heads about the investment reasoning for American Eagle as parent AMR intended to spin it off. High unit costs largely stemming from a very senior workforce, along with a fleet that was built around an archaic scope clause at mainline American Airlines, defined the carrier. I am confident virtually every carrier comprising the regional industry had little to no fear that Eagle was going to steal any potential business.
Now with bankruptcy and the freedoms to cut costs, American Eagle may look very different coming out of court-assisted restructuring. Fleet alignment is sure to occur, and is happening, with any and all 37 and 44-seat aircraft immediately being taken out of service. Certainly there are numerous out-of-market leases on aircraft controlled by the parent that can be reduced. In fact, we may see a new market rate established for a 50-seat aircraft that takes into account a $120 per barrel jet fuel environment. Labor rates and rules are sure to be reduced. If the ground handling services Eagle offers were the crown jewel pre-bankruptcy, just imagine how much more attractive Eagle's rates to other carriers will become after the restructuring.
Don't let the point regarding a new ownership market rate that takes into account the high cost of jet fuel get lost. While Eagle might be successful, it is likely that Pinnacle will not. This factor is potentially significant. If a new rate can be found through the bankruptcy process along with reduced labor rates, suddenly for American, a number of small markets served could be removed from the chopping block and remain a part of the reorganized American network.
Whatever the size of Eagle when it emerges, it is going to be much leaner than the majority of its competitors. My guess is SkyWest, Pinnacle, ExpressJet and others are watching this restructuring with bated breath because a new market rate for 50-seat flying, and other flying for that matter, will present itself in the coming months. And a new competitor for future regional flying will emerge.
American Pilot Scope and Pilot Negotiations at United-Continental
As American and its pilots union attempted to negotiate a new agreement up until the time the company filed for bankruptcy protection, certain aspects of what was being discussed were leaking into the mainstream media. The game changer being discussed was the new A319 fleet would be flown at rates and rules much lower to reflect the difficult economics of the domestic business and appropriately reflect the market/aircraft size.
If this is indeed the road American travels down in its Section 1113 negotiations, there are significant and immediate ramifications for the negotiations taking place between United-Continental and its pilots. As the UA-CO pilots spend more time taking on the company using safety as a hot-button, a new baseline is about to be established as to how pilots work and get paid. If the UA-CO are hung up on nothing more than 50 seats, then I ask: what about 115 seats?
The United-Continental pilots' strategy to exert a leverage point blew up in their face on November 29, 2011. Where AA is going is in the right direction as it accomplishes multiple things that will benefit their business: 1) it is better able to match costs with the domestic revenue environment; and 2) it puts an end to the pilot scope discussion. Regional partners will not be doing any 100 seat flying because, in this seat range, mainline pilots have a better ability to match the cost of flying done by the regionals.
Whether United-Continental pilots either figure it out (or not), the focus then shifts to Delta where scope is already a hot button issue. In 2013, US Airways pilots are absolutely going to be forced to consider something similar to what the AA pilots are likely to agree to.
Then you just have to wonder what Gary Kelly is really thinking. The tables just may be turning.

hard to find dvd, to add to my collection enjoyed it very much it played well with no problems
I have watched this show from time to time, and it is good comedy.
I am so mad that only seasons 1-3 are available on dvd!!!! I LOVE this show and it never fails to put a smile on my face when I need one. Dvds come in excellent condition. This show is one that just kept getting better with age. It is still popular years after it has gone of the air, so why can't they put the rest of the seasons on dvd?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prices are exceptional compared to the stores around here and if you can find the season you want.
I love The Nanny I remember watching it when I was going up, I have a five year old son who has fallen in love with The Nanny. Also my nine month old daughter dances to the intro theme song, its adorable. Something that I loved as a child they seem to love as well. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a family classic in their home.

One sure sign of recovery in boom-and-bust power-generation markets is the renewed growth in the planning and construction of power plants. Active efforts are underway in generation development in...
Cleveland in Lake Erie. LEEDCo's private partners committed an additional $1 million in cost share as part of the agreement.
Dominion acquired a 14.9-MW, combined-cycle, fuel cell power generating facility from FuelCell Energy (FCE). Dominion Bridgeport Fuel Cell LLC contracted with FCE to build, operate, and maintain the natural gas-fueled plant. FCE will supply five proprietary Direct FuelCell stationary systems and a rankine turbine to convert waste heat into additional electricity. Dominion will sell the plant output to Connecticut Light & Power under a 15-year agreement. The project is scheduled to be completed and operational late 2013.
Consumers Energy plans to develop a 700-MW power plant in Thetford Township, 20 miles northeast of Flint, Mich., investing about $750 million into the project. The utility owns the 272-acre site, which features access to high-volume natural gas delivery and high-voltage transmission lines. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2015 with startup in 2017.
TransCanada signed a contract with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) to develop, own, and operate a new 900-MW gas-fired power plant. The facility will be located at Ontario Power Generation's Lennox generating station property in the town of Greater Napanee in eastern Ontario. The plant will sell power to OPA under a 20-year agreement.
Siemens received an order for three additional SGT6-8000H gas turbine and generator packages from Florida Power & Light (FPL). FPL will install the gas turbines to modernize its Port Everglades combined-cycle power plant. Startup is expected in 2016.
Tenaska Power Services (TPS) implemented PowerOptix to manage transactions in the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator (MISO) market. PowerOptix is built on Hartigen Solution's LS-Evolution rapid application development platform that provides complete separation of core architectural components and business functionality. TPS began rolling out PowerOptix in February 2013.
Alstom Grid implemented a new market management software system enabling the PJM Interconnection to deploy fast-ramping energy resources in response to surging demand for electricity. The e-Terramarket platform also makes PJM compliant with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 755, which establishes a performance-based compensation system for sources of electricity that can be brought online quickly to ensure reliability.

EVs & Storage
AES Gener and AES Energy Storage selected Parker-Hannifin to supply advanced battery energy storage systems for their new Cochrane power station. The batteries will be supplied by Lithium Energy Japan, a joint venture of Mitsubishi and GS Yuasa. The project is the companies' third energy storage facility in northern Chile, integrating 20 MW of advanced battery-based energy storage with a 532-MW thermal power plant.
Kyocera Solar's photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are powering the new 90-kW canopy that charges electric vehicles (EVs) at the San Diego Zoo. Using new lithium-polymer battery technology, its 100-kW energy storage system is charged by the solar canopy to offset demand on the electrical grid and recharge EVs after sunset. When the canopy's battery is full, excess generation is fed into the grid.

MARCH, 1943 NEWS FOR CITIZENS ISSUED MONTHLY WITH THE BLUE TRIANGLE Y.W.C.A. OF GREAT BRITAIN 1. The Wage Earner — Us! 2. His Own Boss — The man with a barrow 3. The Housewife — Mostly Mothers 4. The Man of Means — Very few of them now! 5. Unwillingly to School — The Schoolboy 6. Slippered Ease — Grandfather WHAT IS THIS 'BEVERIDGE REPORT"? "GIANT WANT" (twin brother of "Giant Despair") is only a bogy-man in wartime when most of us have jobs and therefore can feed, clothe and house ourselves without overmuch financial anxiety. Or, if in the Services, the actual cash we receive is pocket-money to spend as we like. To be assured of a living is termed "social security" in Sir William Beveridge's Report,* but he adds certain additional benefits which we will outline for you. Background to the Beveridge Report To understand why the Beveridge Report is causing so much interest ("commotion" some would say) it is necessary to see it against a background of the world between two wars and the essentials of the post-war world as all thinking people are beginning to recognise them. Nearly everyone between 15 and 50 has heard of the slump of the 1920's. In general terms this meant that economic factors caused mass unemployment, and, for those in jobs, wage cuts that meant a constant tug-of-war to make ends meet. Moreover, the effects of the slump affected all our lives, for if we were not ready for a job at that time, perhaps our parents were out of work or had their pay cut drastically. In other words, the people of Britain (and of the world) were living in a state of social insecurity. To avoid another period of backsliding like this the Government determined that some form of social insurance must be introduced, and in 1941 invited Sir William Beveridge, helped by a committee of experts, to plan a scheme of social insurance. (Sir William Beveridge is the well-known economist who at one time was the Director of the London School of Economics, has at different times made a special study of the problems of unemployment, and is now Master of University College, Oxford.) It is quite impossible in this short article to do more than act as a signpost to the Report, and we hope that every sort of group will discuss it in relation to their own job, locality, way of life, and so on. The Six Divisions of the Population The first point to keep in mind is that the Beveridge Plan is for everybody, rich and poor, men and women alike, and this is clearly shown in Sir William's division of the whole population into the following six divisions:— 1 includes everyone working for a wage, i.e., most of us in the Y.W.C.A. Note, too, that this class includes those receiving a monthly or quarterly pay packet, as well as those on the weekly pay-roll. 2 includes all the people otherwise " gainfully occupied "; that is to say, people who own their own businesses, such as a doctor, or a shopkeeper, or a man selling vegetables off a barrow. 3 (a new and important one) is of housewives of working age. This is the first time that the housewife, as such, has been considered as a person contributing to the community. 4 is those people who live on independent incomes, or who cannot work through disablement from any cause. (Although you may not know it, " people of independent incomes " may sometimes face Giant Want more often than those who are gainfully occupied in some way.) 5 covers those people below working age, i.e., children below the school-leaving age, wherever it may be fixed. 6 includes all old people who cannot work. Having made these divisions, Sir William has planned that each group shall be safeguarded against actual want at any period of life - from the " cradle to the grave " and that in addition we shall all be eligible for medical treatment, allowances for children after the first one, and a funeral grant. It should be noted, however, that medical benefit will be administered separately, and is, therefore, outside the scope of the Beveridge Plan. The Plan, as a whole, provides a unified system of social insurance, and when you come to study the Report in some detail it should be remembered that, where the amount of each benefit is stated, the actual figure can only be taken as approximate, because the cost of living at a given time will be a determining factor. It should also be noted that rates of contribution and benefit do not vary with the wages of the worker, as is the case in many foreign social insurance schemes. The Family is the Unit Another basic point to keep in mind when you are reading the Report is that a man and his wife are considered as a team, and, consequently, benefits are not reckoned as so much for the man — an adult — plus the same sum for his wife, another adult. No: man and wife form the basic unit of society, the beginning of a family, and so, taking disability benefit (or sickness grant) as an example, a single adult, if off work through illness, would receive 24/- a week, but if he were married, he and his wife together would receive 40/-. The main benefits under the Beveridge Plan are as follows:— Disability Benefit. Industrial Disability Pension. Unemployment Benefit. Training Benefit. Marriage Grant. Maternity Benefit. Maternity Grant. Widows' Benefit. Guardian Benefit. Children's Allowance. Retirement Pensions. Funeral Grant. National Assistance. (A very good summary of cash benefits under the Beveridge Plan, and their application to the six classes of the population, is given in Mr. G. D. H. Cole's " Beveridge Explained.") Special Benefits First let us look briefly at some of the more special benefits — funeral benefit, marriage grant, maternity benefit and maternity grant, and National Assistance. National Assistance will be provided so that no one, because of exceptional circumstances, may be in want, and will be given after a test of needs. In other words, National Assistance is the name given to the benefit to be provided so that no one can fall between two stools. Funeral benefit will be available for everyone. A marriage grant will be given to every woman on her marriage based on her contributions before marriage: we are coming round again to the custom in this country of giving a bride a dowry — a custom still in existence (Continued overleaf) *Read with this article "Beveridge Explained," by G.

Comments about Patagonia Stretch Wavefarer Board Shorts (Men's) New:
I've owned several pairs of these shorts and Patagonia continues to improve an already excellent board short each year. They are light enough and stiched right not to chafe while sitting on your board, yet very durable, dry instantly and are robust enough to wear as a regualar shorts. They are also great for workouts since they are not too long and the cut gives enough room to move freely.

text: UPDATED 04:19 18th June 2014 Australian international goalkeeper who is a mainstay between the sticks, with experience in the Premier League, Olympics and World Cup. A determined and driven athlete with a fantastic mentality, he came through the famous Australian Institute of Sport, then moved half way across the globe to begin his career in football. He first trialled with Bolton before joining Wolves on a non-contract basis for much of their 2002/3 promotion season, and was then on to Italian club Sardenga. He soon decided he wanted to return to England, spending a couple of months with Leeds in the summer of 2004. He came to Madejski Stadium on non-contract terms in late 2004, and such was his determination and drive to earn himself a deal in Berkshire, he slept on Ibrahima Sonko's sofa for a short period. In the early part of the 2005/6 season he was on the bench for a number of Royals games, and stayed on non-contract terms while also playing for non-Leaguers Carshalton. His hard work and ability paid dividends in the summer of 2006 when he signed a one-year professional contract with Reading, and he soon celebrated his new deal by scoring in a pre-season friendly at Bromley after being thrown up front! After impressing in the FA Cup, particularly when winning player of the round for a superb display at Old Trafford, he signed a new contract to further commit himself to the club, and he also made his Premiership debut away at Tottenham, marking the next stage in a quite remarkable journey. When Marcus Hahnemann left in 2009, Federici rightly took his place between the sticks. Was instrumental in Reading's Championship-winning season in 2011/12, then played 26 times in all competitions during the Club's ensuing season in the Premier League. With the first-team emergence of Alex McCarthy during that season, Adam has since been vying for the number one jersey with the Academy graduate.

Why 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Is in IMAX But 'Mockingjay' Won't Be
By Mashable: Samantha Murphy Kelly on November 25, 2013
When Katniss Everdeen rises from an underground elevator into the arena in Hunger Games: Catching Fire, IMAX viewers will see the film's visuals dramatically change.
The 50-minute arena sequence in this Hunger Games sequel has been formatted for IMAX, resulting in an immersive, larger aspect ratio. Instead of a typical widescreen image, with black bars on top and bottom, the IMAX image expands vertically to fill the entire screen when Katniss (played by Jennifer Lawrence) enters the battlefield.
The first few minutes of the changeover are particularly captivating, as water violently splashes around each character. The trees come alive in both color and movement, and you can see the sweat collect on the tributes' faces. The encompassing experience makes viewers feel as though they are in the arena.
"When I signed on to do the movie, I knew very early on that the arena portion would work very well with IMAX," Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence told Mashable. "The switch to IMAX hits you hard. It's stunning."
IMAX's Greg Foster on 'Gravity's' Appeal, China and 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' (Q&A)
By The Hollywood Reporter: Pamela McClintock on November 06, 2013
Photo Credit: Annie Tritt
The large-format czar talks about the next international push and why Warner Bros. is the St. Louis Cardinals of entertainment.
At a time when moviegoing in the U.S. is down year- over-year, IMAX Corp. is on fire. The large-format exhibitor, once relegated to museums, is responsible for more than 15 percent of Gravity's gross, with moviegoers shelling out $20 or more a head in big cities. The Toronto-based, 550-employee company has seen its revenue balloon from $102.7 million in 2008 to $284.3 million in 2012 thanks in large part to Hollywood tentpoles, while its stock has rocketed from $3.35 a share in early November 2008 to around $30 today. IMAX's global creative czar is Greg Foster, 53, whom IMAX Corp. CEO Rich Gelfond promoted earlier this year to CEO of IMAX Entertainment in recognition of Foster's leadership in building the company's commercial slate and establishing relationships with studios. Foster, who spent 15 years at MGM before joining IMAX in 2001, also oversees the documentaries financed and produced by IMAX. The distributor will release a total of 40 films this year. Tentpoles can see an enormous boost from their IMAX runs; it's not uncommon to add $70 million or more to their bottom line.
Typically, Foster can be found meeting with filmmakers in his Santa Monica office or crisscrossing the globe, tending to 650 commercial IMAX theaters in 56 countries, including 350 sites in North America (not including 125 museum and other institutional locations). The married father of three grown sons remains a fierce family man and won't receive email via his smartphone. He recently sat down with THR to discuss what Hollywood can do better and why IMAX is on such a roll.
IMAX to Begin Producing Home Theaters in China
By The New York Times: Keith Bradsher on October 29, 2013
HONG KONG — IMAX Corporation, the Canadian company that has long designed and manufactured large-screen cinema equipment on the outskirts of Toronto, plans to announce on Tuesday in Los Angeles that it has set up a joint venture with a Chinese multinational to develop and manufacture $250,000 home theater systems in China.
IMAX's decision to set up a joint venture with the Shenzhen-based TCL Multimedia Technology Holdings Limited is the latest sign of the powerful lure that China has become for Hollywood and its suppliers. Nicole Kidman, John Travolta, Leonardo DiCaprio and Zhang Ziyi showed up last month in Qingdao, a beach resort in northeastern China, to attend the announcement of a movie-themed real estate development that is to include 20 movie sound sets.
IMAX decided on a joint venture with TCL for the new systems primarily because it expects China to be the largest market for them, Richard L. Gelfond, the chief executive of IMAX, said in a telephone interview. IMAX also concluded that it needed an alliance with a large television manufacturer in order to handle the distribution and service issues associated with selling to a broader range of households, he said.
While acknowledging that low production costs in China had also been an attraction, Mr. Gelfond said that they had not been central. "It's not because of the low-end cost structure but because it's the market," he said.
IMAX already makes $2 million home theater systems for extremely wealthy households at its base in Mississauga, Ontario, and will continue to do so.
IMAX Buys Ownership Stake in Prima Cinema
By The Los Angeles Times: Richard Verrier on October 28, 2013
Those who can afford to pay $500 to watch a newly released movie in their own home can now add another luxury perk: the ability to watch it on a giant IMAX screen.
IMAX Corp. has agreed to pay about $2.5 million to acquire up to 20% stake in Prima Cinema Inc., the San Diego-area company that releases premium-priced movies into the home when they are released in theaters.
Under the agreement, set to be announced Monday morning, IMAX will use Prima's service for its luxury private theaters, which cost $2.5 million and have 20-foot-wide screens.
The deal also makes IMAX the exclusive distributor of Prima's systems over the next five years in China, where the Toronto-based technology company has aggressively expanded. China is now the world's second-largest movie market.
The investment in Prima is part of a broader strategy by IMAX to bring its cinema technology into the home, company executives said.
IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond's Empire
By The Wall Street Journal: Rachel Louise Ensign on September 20, 2013
His past might not sound like the making of a movie-industry giant, but Richard Gelfond is now the CEO of IMAX, a $1.7 billion empire with a presence in more than 700 theaters
Richard Gelfond Bloomberg/Getty Images
Shoeshine boy. A young sports-paper boss. And a 99-cent dry-cleaner owner. His past might not sound like the making of a movie-industry giant, but Richard Gelfond is now the CEO of IMAX, IMX.T -0.20% a $1.7 billion empire with a presence in more than 700 theaters—and part of the movie-going experience for millions of 3D-glasses-wearing film buffs. Now 58 and close with marquee Hollywood figures like director Christopher Nolan, he tells us he made it big because he "was always obsessed by business."

The first part of the Concerto begins with the famous motif to which Liszt is alleged to have privately appended the words: "Das versteht Ihr alle nicht" ('This none of you understands'), answered by the equally famous octave leaps from the piano. This exchange is followed by a short cadenza in C major whose opening is also structurally relevant. Two further exchanges present the opening motif with an accompaniment of repeated chords, and the piano's answer and arpeggio leading into a lyrical phrase. This is taken up by the clarinet and produces the transition to the second subject proper—a falling phrase in C minor. The development immediately combines the clarinet phrase with the first motif, and leads to a tutti on the first theme and a piano/orchestra combination of that motif in descending chromatic octaves against a version of the clarinet arpeggio. The recapitulation is much truncated—it begins with the piano cadenza now in F sharp major, and the second subject does not return—and the coda again combines the two motifs, ending enharmonically in D sharp major, making the move to B major for the second part look less unusual.
The theme of the miniature slow movement has two main phrases, one rising, one falling, which are developed separately. The second generates the central recitative which yields to a new theme from the flute over the piano trill, and the first theme returns briefly to effect the transition to the scherzo in E flat minor, whose motifs derive from the second subject of the first movement and the second phrase of the theme of the slow movement. After the scherzo, a brief cadenza reintroduces material from the first movement, adding the flute theme from the slow movement, all designed to introduce the finale. This march returns us to E flat major, and it is based on the first phrase of the slow movement alternating with a version of the second subject of the first movement. The recitative of the second movement is then recalled in an exchange between bassoons, trombones and lower strings and the piano, and the music moves to B major for a second theme—derived from the slow movement flute melody. After a variation on the march theme, a new theme appears—a transformation of the scherzo—in E minor, but leading to a variation in E flat major, and thence to the coda, which is largely and ingeniously transformed from first movement material.
