In its 44th year in history of holding elections Botswana has always enjoyed generous praise around the world for its free and fair elections.
But as I have argued in the past about other perceptions of Botswana's democracy, the fairness ( as opposed to the freedom ) of our elections is actually not as praise worthy as it has always been made out to be .True Botswana is a multi party state where political parties are free to campaign openly and express themselves freely in an effort to win the support of the electorate.
Botswana will exercise their democratic right to vote for the political the leadership they prefer to take the country into 2014 when the next general elections will be held. This right Is one that every eligible citizen should utilize, as it is their responsibility to vote for the leadership they want in power. All the people are encouraged to go and vote. However there are people who do not vote as they do not see the importance of the exercise. The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) has done all it can to educate the public on the importance of voting and also educate political candidates on the best way of doing politics. More recently there has been a series of wide ranging constitutional amendments. Another important consequence of the 1997 amendments is that the president of the Republic of Botswana is the only one permitted to appoint a vice president from among the elected ( as opposed to the specially elected members of parliament and further that , any such appointees must be approved and /or endorsed by the national Assembly. This development represented a significant break with past practice.
Another matter which cannot be omitted from any complete history of parliament in Botswana is the entry of women. Up until 1974 ( 3rd parliament ) the membership of the National Assembly had been wholly or exclusively male. Following the 1974 elections Dr Gaositwe Chiepe and Mrs Kebatshabile Disele were specially elected as members of parliament .Dr Chiepe was later appointed minister of commerce and industry while the latter remained a backbencher for a while until her elevation to cabinet as a minister of Home Affairs. Just to put you through to know what has been happening around in Botswana: In 1977, Dr GT Chiepe was elected Member of Parliament for Serowe south, following a bye election occasioned by the death of Mr Kgari the former MP for that constituency.Mrs Ditsele ceased to be a member of parliament on the dissolution of the 3rd parliament and the number of women dropped to 1.It was Mrs Clara Olsen , the specially elected in 1984 who restored the number to 2women MPs. Within these other years chronicle of events took place hence the increment of women in parliament had risen to a record of 8.
The numbers changed again in 2004 elections leading to the 9th parliament. Honorable Joy Phumaphi resigned her seat in the National Assembly and her post in the cabinet to take up an international job. During this time a lot of women were not successful in their party primary elections.However two other women were specially elected in which they were appointed Minister of health and assistant minister of Education respectively. In the early 1960s, as the country made the transition to independence, there were no women in Botswana's government. Today, Margarat Nnananyana Nasha, Botswana's well loved woman, is the first female Speaker of the National Assembly. She did not enter politics directly, however - she first joined the diplomatic corps. She certainly did well enough to be noticed. She was nominated to parliament in 1994 .Few years later was appointed minister of local government, lands and housing - one of the most difficult ministries to run, as it serves as a quasi government for rural areas of the country. Nasha did well there. In 1999, she won elections for Gaborone Central and retained her cabinet post. The steady upward line of her career dipped for the first time when she lost her seat in the 2004 general elections, but then President Festus Mogae again brought her back to the House through special nomination. 'During this period, she felt that she should have quit, but she had a special interest in being a Speaker of the National Assembly, a position that has many challenges. To be elected to this position you have to lobby all candidates from the different political spectrum. She did this for three years, phoning all candidates lobbying for their support.
There were only five female MPs in the 61-member parliament. But she could not count on their support, since women are not supportive to other women in positions of power and once you start to show intentions of your stand, they start gossiping. This delays progress and steals the confidence that women have. Dr Nasha is a blunt speaking and jocular politician known for her pithy wisecracks. Around here they call her the "IRON LADY". In a partrichal society men rule and the duty of women is to submit .Over the years the men have had a domineering influence in almost all Botswana Democratic party (BDP) structures, creating the impression that political power is a man 's preserve. However Dr Nasha has broken all the barriers, woman power! Certainly most of the women in Botswana holding political office have equally performed with great deal of admiration. Thus Botswana 's track record of good governance and economic growth supported by prudent macro economic and fiscal management, stands in contrast to the country 's high levels of poverty. Botswana was one of the poorest countries in Africa at the time it gained independence from Britain in 1966, with a GDP per capita of about US$70. Today Botswana has transformed itself , moving into the ranks of middle income status to become one of the fastest growing economies in the world with its average annual growth rate of about 9% with a GDP ( purchasing power parity ) per capita of about $14 8000 (2010 IMF estimate ).While education expenditure is high and significant educational achievements have been attained , including the provision of nearly universal and free education .Unemployment has been persistently high and its friend poverty on the other hand has been a serious concern. The government has responded positively to address these issues. In the contrary the aggressive introduction of HIV/AIDS drugs by the government which are being provided free of charge has been of great help since there are no more deaths to the citizens. At this present time Botswana is working on diversifying its economy which is heavily dependent on diamonds, beef market and tourism which amongst things is the proposed innovation hub project which will catapult the country to the world of innovations and innovation technology and researches in line with other institutions both local and international.
For the past 44 years of our independence Botswana has adhered to the fundamental political values and principles of good governance, rule of law and respect for human rights. It saddens me as I believe as a nation that the performance of women in politics in 2004 dropped, resulting on fewer elected members of parliament and councillors being women. On a positive note, I am happy to announce and inform the world that our government has resolved that 50% of all special nominations should be reserved for women politicians. And to date at least 50% of our specially elected members of parliament and councillors are women. Though we are traditionally a society of high belief in the mystic power of men and that in its belief has contributed to the low participation of women in politics and decision making process. Therefore very eligible woman must seize and are encouraged to take the opportunity to strategise and map the way forward to ensure that more women contest and win in free / fair elections in 2014. A highlighting note, however, in the contrary according to the latest findings from the Grant Thornton International Business Report (IBR), released to coincide with International Women's Day, reveals that 74% of businesses in Botswana employ women in senior management positions. Women in Botswana fairs well in the business world. Botswana ranks 9th amongst the 32 countries that participated in the Recent survey that covered 7200 privately held businesses. Percentage of women in senior management roles in Botswana is 31%taking the seventh place amongst the participating countries. This reflects on the confidence placed in women by the owners and stakeholders in the business field. Women in Botswana are even placed high on International positions worldwide. About 97% of businesses in the Philippines1 have women in senior management positions, the highest in the survey, in contrast to the lowest Japan, with only 25%. Four out of the five countries with the lowest figures are in Europe: the Netherlands (27%), Luxembourg (37%), Germany (41%) and Italy (42%).
There are programs that the government gears towards uplifting the lives of Batswana, particularly women who are the care givers and bedrocks of our families. Moreover Civil Society in Botswana has contributed enormously in the electoral process through collaboration with the IEC on civic and voter education. The problem of under representation of women in Botswana's electoral contests is due to failure to participate in democratic process so as to get empowered. Despite the fact that women constitute the majority of voters, supporters, and attendees at political rallies across all political parties. The 2004 statistics shows 311265 registered female voters, compared to 239148 registered male voters. Aware of this worrying trend, Emang Basadi Association which came in existence in 1986 to lobby against laws that discriminate against women in Botswana. Its catalyst was the enactment of the 1982 citizenship Amendment Act, which sought to deny women married to non- citizen men to pass their citizenship to their offspring. This organization to date has been the most active in politics and has benefited considerably from its lobbying and pressure group efforts, encouraged women to register and vote in the upcoming elections. It also urged them to contest for political office. Emang Basadi Association produced two manifestos in 1994 & 1999 elections respectively prior to the release of manifestos by political parties .In this way it hoped to champion women's issues and concerns . In 2003 and ahead of 2004 elections, it organized empowerment workshops for aspiring women candidates from all political parties contesting primary elections.
Despite the obvious success of Emang Basadi in transforming Botswana's political landscape and culture, and in increasing the number of women in active politics, the goal of increasing female representation meaningfully in parliament, political parties and cabinet has failed to materialize; the number of women in political office does not even meet the United Nations minimum of 30%. Botswana's patriarchs have betrayed the struggle in two fundamental ways: firstly the ruling party patriarchs have clung relentlessly to an outmoded "winner takes all" electoral system. The system is not sensitive enough to changes in voter's trends to enable women to bargain effectively with their votes thus force parties to respond positively to their demands. Among political parties there is a still minimal concession to women to ensure their continued electoral support while maintaining male dominion of political arena. Secondly, that which has undermined women's political agenda is the historic tendency of splits within opposition parties. The main opposition party Botswana National Front (BNF) yielded well with 33% of opposition parliamentary seats in 1994 but underwent a split in the run up of 1999 elections, thus segmenting what would have been at least 47% into meaningful fragments that ensured the perpetuation of single party dominance. One effect was to reduce the ruling party to accommodate more women in power, to meet stated national commitments. Thus, the 2004 primary elections have seen the ruling party produce a mere 12% female representation to contest to the national elections.
She the Bank of Botswana governor Linah Mohohlo has however lamented the slow rise of women to positions of influence in this country such as politics. Mohohlo revealed at International Women's day Commemorations that countries like Rwanda , Tanzania , Uganda, South Africa have surpassed the 30% threshold of female representation in decision making positions must be applauded. Here in Botswana the situation is somewhat dismal. There only five positions (far less than five percent), out of 62, occupied by women in parliament. She said there it is important to do more to redress the status quo in Botswana. So many women in Botswana needs to be urged to so that they achieve the 30% representation in decision making positions. Well the problem is persisting. Once the women are involved in educational attainments especially in science and technology must be enhanced more especially in issues' that affect women. It would enable women to obtain better pay and eliminate the income gap with their male counterparts. African women are often protected by law but not in reality because the actions and resources do not generally match women empowerment .I want to agree with educators that education is fundamental because investing globally in girls ' education boosts economic growth and political participation.
Hello Warona
It is amazing that since 1974 that women are in politics the rate is still so low.
It is true that educating women will help them ensure those laws that are only good on papers.
We really need to be empowered to bring change and development in our communities.
Trust your HOPES, not your fears... Harmony
Well, 5 is plural!
Warona, you already have 5 up there! Of course it takes some time to push more and more women to the top, but you can surely do it! I agree that education can contribute much to install women in decision-making positions. But, sister, more than education is the courage to stand up for our rights! Your women electorate should know that the power of women is in their votes. All the best ...
Emie Zozobrado
Itt might sound vain to stand
Itt might sound vain to stand with support of those you fight for. But as Emie said it is lack of courage because deep in their heart women are proud of your women leaders just as you are. They may be fear rebuke and Violence or rejection, they may also be shy but it will happen slowly but surely, they will get her
And don't forget to:
Trust your HOPES, not your fears... Harmony
Hi Warona!
Sister, ..."in the final analysis we shall all be judged according to our intentions..." and the praises or critiques will be irrelevant. Good intentions will evolve into remarkable breakthroughs if they are sustained. Continue the struggle. Sometimes one candle is enough to light the darkness for some purpose. Eventually, others will follow. We Filipino women have a long arduous journey toward empowerment but we made it through. I don't see any reason why Botswanian women can't make it. All the best...
Emie Zozobrado
Well done Warona. thanks for
Well done Warona. thanks for sharing on this crucial issue.
Thanks for this history!!!
Thank you for this piece! I can tell a lot of research and thought went into this!
from today i live out of my imagination
i am more than my yesterday
tomorrow i plant a new seed
nothing that lies behind easy
nothing that is ahead real
my within is all i have today

Study: Marketers Think PR Should Handle Social Media
By Patrick Coffee on October 8, 2013 1:27 PM
"No, I said 'click send'…"
In case you weren't aware, there's a debate going on over who should handle a given brand's social media presence. We think you might be pleased with the answer: it's us!
Back in July, a study by staffing agency The Creative Group told us that ad/marketing executives everywhere plan to spend more on social media next year, though this was before Instagram and Pinterest announced new paid promos so the results are all but irrelevant now. We're more interested in their follow-up survey on the structure of social media operations, in which the same ad/marketing execs said they think PR should handle social.
Here's the infographic for percentages:

ACP-ASIM Pressroom
Internists Applaud UnitedHealth Decision to Eliminate Clinical Precertifications
November 12, 1999
Removal of preauthorizations puts decision-making back into the hands of physicians
(WASHINGTON, DC): The American College of Physicians—American Society of Internal Medicine applauds UnitedHealth's decision to reverse their preauthorization for services policy and give doctors—not administrators—the final say on necessary treatment of patients.
"The use of precertifications in managed care has proven to be a source of delay and red tape in the treatment of patients," said ACP-ASIM President Whitney Addington, MD, FACP. "This decision by the nation's second-largest health care insurance company to remove this barrier is a significant step in providing the best possible care to our patients."
While ACP-ASIM sees this move as a step in the right direction, members have been warned to monitor other measures the health plan may substitute in an effort to control costs that may interfere with patient care decisions. UnitedHealth has indicated that it may rely more on the practice of profiling physicians in their decisions of which providers to allow into the plan. Although ACP-ASIM believe there may be appropriate needs for profiling, it is essential that profiling not be used to drop physicians whose practice patterns may be classified as more expensive because they treat patients who are considered more ill.
"UnitedHeath's action in no way eliminate the need for Congress to enact productive patient's bill of rights legislation," said Addington. "Federal legislation is the only way to assure that doctors, not health plan administrators, make patient care decisions."
As is now common in managed care companies, UnitedHealth previously reviewed - with the option to overrule - doctors' treatment decisions. The company has admitted this widely practiced policy backfired, eventually costing them more than it saved. Such policies were originally deemed as necessary to manage costs in managed care settings. For physicians, however, they are an unnecessary barrier between their patients and good health as well as a source of time-consuming frustration.
UnitedHealth plans to still ask doctors to justify such decisions as ordering surgery or expensive diagnostic tests, but the company has stated that the doctor will have the final say on how the patient will be treated. The move is expected to be implemented nationwide next month.
A 1995 ACP-ASIM survey found that doctors believed the use of preauthorizations increased rather than decreased costs. Further, in 1998, the organization recommended managed care organizations to require preauthorizations only for services for a specified procedure if there is clear evidence that routine use of preauthorization substantially reduces the number of medically unnecessary services; and the costs of conducting the preauthorization do not exceed the potential savings.
ACP-ASIM is the nation's largest medical specialty organization and the second largest physician group. Membership comprises more than 115,000 internal medicine physicians and medical students. Internists are the major providers of medical care to adults in America and treat more Medicare patients than any other medical specialists.

Max Chilton's Chinese GP weekend did not get off to a great start as the Marussia driver managed just five laps on Friday afternoon.
Showing some solid pace in FP1, Chilton was unable to follow that up in the day's second session as he was forced to park his MR02 on the side of the track on his fourth lap out.
His team stated that it was a "kill switch" that caused the Brit's engine to stop with Chilton confirming that it is a "safety thing" that brings the switch into play.
"I was just starting my first real pushing lap on the new primes and just went into Turn One and lost all power," he said.
"It was a safety thing and that's the way it goes sometimes.
"This morning went really well - me and Jules matched each other's pace and beat the Caterhams, which is ideal really.
"It's just a shame that things like this set you back a little bit. It's unfortunate but we might manage to get back out, you never know."
Chilton did get out again only to again stop on the side of the track after spewing fluids. The team revealed it was a "pressure" problem.

Olympic "Fun"
Ban on mobile phones, picnics and music in London's 'fun' Olympics - Telegraph
People booking tickets, which went on sale this week, have to sign a terms and conditions document, which runs to 7,350 words, published by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (Locog).
This list of rules and regulations makes clear that the following items are banned: "Food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, liquids in containers of greater than 100ml in size, umbrellas, horns, whistles, drums, rattles, musical instruments, or any other devices that in the opinion of Locog may disturb a session (including mobile telephones), flasks, Thermoses and in general any material that Locog may deem dangerous or that may cause damage or disruption to a session."
The conditions suggest that anyone wanting to bring a picnic to a venue – a tradition that many British sports fans indulge in at Lord's Cricket Ground or while watching the tennis at Wimbledon – will find themselves banned from entry. Mobile phones, which most people now find invaluable, are also not allowed.
A spokesman for Locog said the organisers wanted spectators "to have lots of fun".
"Fun", after being queued to be x-rayed, patted down and stripped of your bottle of water, so the corporate sponsors can then resell you one at their price inside the bug infested concrete caverns. But at leat you know Lord Snooty Coe and chums will have fun as they are whisked pass the common people in their special Zil lanes with synchronised traffic lights to their full hospitality suites.
Poking your eyes with knitting needles will be more "fun".

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by SafeFromHarm Great Rooms, room to improve in Executive Lounge Rooms are spacious and great in general, with nice touches like Nesspresso machines and double sinks in the bathroom. The only downside is the lack of food variety in the Executive Lounge, both during breakfast and at the happy hour in the afternoon. 24 December 2014
Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by B. T. B. Good location The hotel is very clean, properly located, nice image but poor service. The laundry service is very expensive, not delivered on time and had to pick up my clothes at the reception. It is not nice to have to carry your clothes from the lobby to the room. The restaurant service is quite slow. 18 December 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by neek1022 Quick overnight family stay Staff were excellent, greeted us by name and had our room already prepared. There was a crib in the room when we arrived as we had requested for our son. We were also upgraded, which was unexpected and nice. We could not access the internet at first, but the front desk solved the problem. Dinner and breakfast in the hotel restaurant was good, not great, but the staff was great. Overall, it was a great one night stay. 12 December 2014

Help Keep Renewing Your Mind On-Air, Online and Moving Forward
We rely on the grace of God and the support of friends like you to continue broadcasting.
The costs of broadcasting Renewing Your Mind on radio outlets around the world are significant. Additionally, many of Dr. Sproul's older teaching series need reformatting and editing before being broadcast. Many series that have never been released need to be re-mastered and preserved before they deteriorate.
To do this, we need your help. You can:
- Pray: we are always blessed to know that our brothers and sisters are praying faithfully and deliberately for us.
- Donate or Partner With Us: our donors and monthly partners are the core of our support. No matter the amount of the gift, we are constantly encouraged by the generosity of our listeners and Partners.
- Tell Others: when you tell a friend, family member, or your church about Renewing Your Mind, you enable us to reach out to more people. Many of our supporters were introduced to the ministry by someone that they know.
Thank you for your thoughtful support of Renewing Your Mind.

Designer: Orlandini & Radice
Designers Orlandini & Radice have their own personal and incisive style. The two graduated from the Polytechnic University of Milan, in industrial design and architecture, respectively and met at Luccio Orlandini's studio after several years at various design jobs. Andrea Radice is curious - a lover of sports and culture - and is always in search of new and interesting stimuli. Folco Orlandini is keen on Man, on his infinite potential and on life in every form and expression. He is stimulated by the metropolitan pulsating beat which triggers his passion for visual arts. Both defend true design, the one that creates emotions, the one that makes you stay up at night, the one that dirties your hands in the lab, the one that proves the test of time with a synthesis of function and aesthetics.View other products by Orlandini & Radice

Landmarks and Liberty: The 2003 Faith and Freedom Tour Audio CD Set
by The Vision Forum, Inc
Once upon a time, there were giants in the land. We have forgotten about these giants because we have removed the ancient landmarks from our children. Those landmarks were the histories of God's providential mercies, once told to every schoolboy and girl by grateful fathers and mothers. To build a future for our children, we must remember the past, but we must see the past through the lens of biblical Christianity. We must be grateful for the hand of God in our nation and we must teach our children to be grateful (Psalm 78). Toward this end, Vision Forum Ministries is pleased to present Landmarks & Liberty: The 2003 Faith & Freedom Tour, recorded on location in historic Massachusetts. From Plymouth Rock to Boston Harbor to Lexington Green - through this album you will learn about the signing of the Mayflower Compact, the Witch Trial proceedings at Salem, the Battle of Lexington with its "shot heard round the world," and more. Listen as Doug Phillips, Paul Jehle, and Richard "Little Bear" Wheeler tell the stories of the godly Pilgrims, Puritans, and Patriots of early New England who helped forge our nation even as they kept covenant with God.8 CDs, 600 minutes.
A Comprehensive Defense of the Providence of God in the Founding of America (21 DVDs)
We believe that each of these messages from The Jamestown Quadricentennial: A Celebration of America's Providential History is a "must-see" by every Christian in America who wants to pass on our godly heritage to their children, give them context for why our nation is great and blessed by God, and provide hope for the future generations.

Meanwhile, a simple, godly soldier braves all odds to defend his honor and his duty to uphold God's sacred laws.
Of Plymouth Plantation, Hardcover
by William Bradford / The Vision Forum, Inc
Few people realize that America was founded because a devout band of non-conformist Christians lived and breathed the covenant promises of Jesus Christ. Though the Pilgrims left England because of religious persecution, they actually left Holland to protect their children from ungodly influences. These parents risked everything to protect their young. Bradford boldly proclaimed that these families were willing to sacrifice their lives, if necessary, "even though they [the Pilgrims] be but stepping stones" for future generations of Christians they would never meet. 353 pages, hardcover.

Ok, if the truth be known, I left the AMIA Annual Symposium here is Washington, DC late one night—actually after helping with a panel on Consumer Health Informatics. I offered to drive one of the speakers home, and while chatting away AND backing out of a very tight parking spot in an underground parking garage, I managed to do what I had been SO careful not to do before. I could list out my justifications on why it happened…but blogs aren't supposed to be that long. Luckily it was only a car and a large concrete pillar which was entirely too close to the parking space and very poorly…OK—no excuses.
While my car is being repaired, I have been using a loaner car (which my children LOVE and dread the day my old car is back.) Go figure. I cannot wait to get my car back. Why? I will make no apologies—in spite of shameless teasing by a dear friend--my navigation system (which the loaner does not have.) I drive to locations in Northern Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland during the course of my work—and depend steadfastly on my navigation system. The fact that it routes me an odd path sometimes or a occasionally says that I am on an undocumented route is ok. What it does is provide options, "hand holds" me through some confusing spots and communicates (although I turned off the voice the first week.) If I choose, I can tell how long it will take me to get home, which roads are one-way and even where the next ice cream spot is (that's a long story, though.) I have modified my trips while I do not have the navigation system—driving home alone late at night from a location I do not know well has an entirely different impact. So what does this have to do with health care—and in particular the HITECH Act? The HITECH Act and ONC (Office of the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology) is providing the infrastructure, information and guidance so we all are better at navigating health care, we know more of the options available and most importantly of all—that we communicate effectively at the right time with the right information. Perhaps someday we will have a navigation system for health care.

I finally got into a Ruby Sanctum Kill, huzzah!
I'm not going to get into the 3 mini-bosses that you have to kill before you get to Halion, but there are many guides out there on the internet, including Tankspot that will walk you through it.
Now you've killed the mini-bosses, and you're facing big purple meanie himelf.
What's he do? Let's break it down into his 3 phases:
Phase 1: (Physical Realm)
- Twilight Precision – Increases Halion's chance to hit by 5% and decreases all players' chance to dodge by 20%.
- Flame Breath – Inflicts 26,250 to 33,750 Fire damage to players in front of Halion.
- Meteor Strike – Inflicts 18,750 to 21,250 Fire damage to enemies within 12 yards of the targeted area. Takes about 5 seconds to land. Shoots X-shaped lines of fire after it hits the ground.
- Fiery Combustion – Inflicts 4,000 Fire damage every 2 seconds for 30 seconds to a random raider. Every time Fiery Combustion does damage, it applies a stackable Mark of Combustion.
- Mark of Combustion – Has no immediate effect on the target. When removed (by either magic-remover or curse-remover, or after 30 seconds) it causes a Combustion of size proportional the the number of Marks.
- Combustion – Inflicts 3,500 to 4,500 Fire damage every second to targets that remain within the explosion area. Combustion has 6 yards radius. Also knocks nearby players back with Fiery Combustion.
Well now what? How do I deal with all that craziness?
Your raid will be all grouped up on Halion's side — be careful, he's a dragon. He breathes fire and has a tail swipe. Basically stay away from the 2 dangerous sides of the dragon.
During the first phase, random raid members will get the Mark of Combustion as referenced above. That raid member needs to run to the edge of the fiery ring and get dispelled. The longer the Mark of Combustion is on the target, the bigger the "void zone" of fire is. Speed is key here.
Meteor strike isn't a new mechanic. Fiery ball drops from the sky and hurts badly. Since your raid is grouped up on the side of the dragon, it will drop on the raid. Meteor strike puts its mark on the ground, your whole raid needs to run through Halion (toward the belly or back feet to avoid the dangerous sides of the dragon) and change sides to continue DPSing. This will continue until 75%.

Magnets & Materials
Magnet Projects
In addition to working on magnet projects for the lab, MS&T cooperates with industry and other laboratories on a variety of magnet technology projects. These projects cover the range of analysis, design, materials, component development and testing, coil fabrication, cryogenics, system integration and testing.
Our scientists and engineers are involved in the following special projects and MS&T-built user magnets.
32 Tesla Superconducting Magnet for the Magnet Lab
In 2009 the National Science Foundation awarded a $2 million grant that started the development and construction of a 32 T superconducting magnet, consisting of a state-of-the-art 15 T low temperature superconductor outer magnet and a transformational 17 T high temperature superconductor inner coil set using YBCO coated conductor. This 32 T user magnet is intended for low-temperature high-field experiments in the Millikelvin Facility after installation of a dilution refrigerator.
Series Connected Hybrid for the Magnet Lab
In 2006, the National Science Foundation awarded the lab an $11.7 million grant for construction of a cylindrical-bore Series-Connected Hybrid (SCH), for high field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), condensed matter physics, biology and chemistry, to be located at the Magnet Labs Tallahassee location.
Series Connected Hybrid for the Helmholtz Centre Berlin
In 2007, the Helmholtz Centre Berlin (then known as the Hahn-Meitner Institute) contracted with the MagLab to build an $8.7-million SCH magnet for neutron scattering experiments.
25 T Split Resistive Magnet
After several years of development, the MagLab has completed the design (2009) and fabrication (2012) of a high-field split resistive magnet for use in far-infrared photon scattering experiments. In addition to a standard 32mm bore tube, the magnet includes four large scattering ports of elliptical shape at the mid-plane amounting to a total solid angle of 0.5 steradians of available user space. Such a magnet configuration results in unique design challenges, being especially severe for the windings in the mid-plane region of the innermost coils. Consequently, the MagLab developed, tested and employed a new technology called Split Florida-Helix for which a patent was awarded (US 7,609,139). This user magnet consist of five resistive coils consuming a total of less than 28 MW of DC power and providing a flux-density of 25 T available to the user space. To meet the unique design challenges, Split Florida-Helix technology is used around the mid-plane of the two inner most coils and state-of-the-art Florida-Bitter technology is used for all the regular winding in all five coils.
45 T Hybrid Magnet
The 45 T hybrid magnet was designed as a versatile, reliable, user-friendly magnet system capable of producing 45 T in a 32 mm bore. The system consists of two sets of coils: the superconducting outsert and the resistive insert. The outsert contains three concentric cable-in-conduit coils operating at 1.8 K. The resistive insert contains five water-cooled Florida-Bitter coils. The system was originally designed for the outsert to provide 14.2 T and the insert to provide 30.8 T, for a total of 45 T.
900 MHz Magnet
The 900 MHz magnet is a very wide bore high resolution NMR magnet, with a central field of 21.1 T, a room temperature bore of 100 mm, and a temporal and spatial homogeneity objective of less than 1 part per billion in a 4 cm DSV. It is a major part of the long-term goal of achieving high resolution at 25 T, corresponding to a proton resonance frequency of 1.066 GHz. The future 25 T magnet will consist of a high temperature superconducting (HTS) inner coil operating in the field of a large low temperature superconducting (LTS) outer magnet.
Pulsed Magnets
The objective of the pulsed projects, housed at the lab's Pulsed Field Facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory, is to develop and improve magnet technology to produce pulse coils that sustain physics research operations at the facility. We upgrade user magnet performance as we develop reliable improvements in technology. Currently, these projects include the 100 T, currently operating at 89 T, and the 60 T long-pulse. For more information about the pulsed magnet program, contact Chuck Swenson.
Resistive Magnets
The lab designs, builds and maintains high-field DC magnets for the scientific user community. The scope of activity ranges from hybrid inserts providing fields up to 45 T and consuming up to 30 MW of power to small, wire-wound coils that are inserted in the bore of high field magnets. The scientific community to whom we provide service consists primarily of the users of DC field facility, but we also provide contract services to facilities in Tsukuba, Japan and Nijmegen, the Netherlands, among others.

Taxing Data Mining?
Jacob Albert of Quartz reports, "First, they suggested taxing Google's personalized ads to boost French advertisers. Then, they tried to tax Google News to finance the French press. Now, the French government is thinking about taxing the collection of personal data by Internet companies, according to a report put out Jan. 18. The main target would be American companies like Google, Facebook, or Amazon, whose data mining efforts generate enormous advertising profits but precious little tax revenue for countries like France."

To Mr Michel Camdessus
1. "Biology, Medicine and Society, What Will We Do With Man?" is the theme you chose for the meeting of the Social Weeks of France this year, held in Paris from 23 to 25 November.
Today it is quite appropriate to approach the complex questions of bioethics in a new way by turning to specialists in the different branches of knowledge: scientific, technological, philosophical and theological. Indeed, it is good for our contemporaries, who are often troubled and bewildered by scientific progress and its ethical implications, to be informed about the possibilities offered by science and to have the means to form their consciences, with a view to making decisions that are in accord with the basic moral values that protect man's place at the centre of creation.
3. By placing the human person and his inalienable dignity at the heart of your interdisciplinary process, you show the urgent need to marshal all the resources of wisdom and experience, of reason and science, to serve him better. The discoveries and changes that have marked the biomedical disciplines have shown that behind the striking progress that deals with the mystery of life itself, science is at times stunned by its own power and is tempted to manipulate man as if he were merely an object or matter. On account of this situation and because of the possibilities offered by science and technology, I express the wish that your conversations may contribute to a lucid analysis of what is at stake and of the consequences of the progress, opportunities and challenges for the human being and for humanity in general. Because of his intrinsic dignity, which includes his biological dimension, the human person can never be subordinate, as a means or instrument, to the species, to society or to the will of others even if they are his/her parents for human persons have an intrinsic value. This natural law truth is reinforced with the light of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word who, as the "new Adam ... fully reveals man to himself and makes his supreme calling clear" (Gaudium et spes, n. 22). Reason and faith enable Christians throughout history to defend the person, especially the weak, the vulnerable, the marginalized and unborn children. "There is no person, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral "indication' that can exhibit or entitle anyone with a valid juridical capacity to dispose directly and deliberately of an innocent human life, that is, to dispose of it with a view to its destruction envisaged as a goal, or even as a means to attain an objective that may not in itself be at all illegitimate" (Pius XII, Address to participants at the Congress of the Italian Catholic Union of Midwives, 29 October 1951, n. 12).
4. Today the dignity of the human person is threatened, above all, at the critical phases of life, conception and natural death. A new temptation of taking over the right to define the minimum of humanity that makes a living creature a human being has arisen. As I recalled in the Encyclical Evangelium
vitae, how can we forget that "from the time that the ovum is fertilized, a life is begun which is neither that of the father nor the mother, it is rather the life of a new human being with his own growth; it would never become human if it were not human already" (n. 60)? Modern genetics shows that from the very first instant "there is established the programme of what this living being will be: a person, this individual person with his characteristic features already well determined" (ibid.). This demands absolute respect for the human being who can never be considered an object or matter for experimentation from the stage of his being an embryo to the end of his life. Likewise, it is fitting to treat human
germ cells with respect on account of the human patrimony which they bear.
As I invoke Christ the King of the universe, to bring about the expansion of the civilization of love in the world, I cordially impart my Apostolic Blessing to you, to the organizers, speakers and participants of the Social Weeks of France.
From the Vatican, 15 November 2001

The Special Assignment Pay Plan (SAPP), last updated in 1991, permitted deputy heads or their designates to recruit and assign a specified number of employees for a period of up to three years to duties and responsibilities which had not been classified, or had been classified at a lower level than the level to which the employee was appointed while maintaining the employee's salary at his or her substantive level. The flexibility granted by SAPP was intended to support deputy heads in retaining knowledge and developing employees.
No, employees appointed to the Executive (EX) Group are subject to special deployment in accordance with the Treasury Board Policy on the Management of Executives and associated Directive on Executive Compensation.
Under the Plan, certain departments were assigned a quota for SAPP assignments and if the department wanted an increase in the quota, or if a department not listed wanted a quota established, they had to request the increase or quota from the Treasury Board Secretariat.
The rescission of this Plan is in keeping with the modernization of human resources management and streamlining of Treasury Board's policy suite. Consult the people management policy renewal project for more details.
The rescission of this Plan supports the application of the Public Service Employment Act and the values of fairness, transparency, access and representativeness.
The Financial Administration Act, the Public Service Employment Act, the Treasury Board Policy Framework for the Management of Compensation and associated policy instruments together provide deputy heads with the authority and flexibility to achieve the SAPP objectives through a range of resourcing and administrative actions, including appointments and deployments in addition to standard assignments and secondments.
The Special Assignment Pay Plan (SAPP) is rescinded effective February 24, 2015.
A three-year transition period with the following conditions applies effective February 24, 2012:
Yes, the three-year transition period allows for the following:

For years Osama bin Laden was thought to be hiding in Afghanistan's eastern mountain ranges.
The area is the gateway to the east of the country – an area that has seen some of the heaviest fighting both in the last few years, and in the war against the Soviet Union in the 1980s.Western military powers poured billions of dollars into a kill or capture operation and bin Laden went on to evade capture by US special forces for almost a decade.People here say that while al-Qaeda has played a very limited military role in Afghanistan, bin Laden was respected.Al Jazeera's James Bays travelled to Sarobi, east of the capital Kabul, and found people in mourning for the al-Qaeda leader.

The press are an evil bunch:- they phone you when you are busy, ask you lots of difficult questions, try to trip you up or squeeze something juicy out of you, wasting lots of your time, and the buggers rarely give you a citation or a link for your efforts.
But just like Barry Schwartz wrote a few days ago, I feel that the 10% of the time they mention your name, or heaven forbid give a link through to the article they were quoting from (creating duplicate content), is something worthwhile that most people would stop climbing up a burning rope ladder to obtain.
Here are just a few tips that might help nudge the link & citation ratio up to as much as 50%
- Text – have materials available you can quickly send them by email to clarify specific points of conversation
- Exclusive Pictures – have some exclusive material pre-prepared, whether it be screenshots or photographs at slightly different angles (individually numbered so you know what has been used)
- Links – collate reference links on your own websites, and other press coverage
- Market Awareness – know what is happening in your industry more than reporters or your competitors
Control the Conversation
If you have done the preparation, discussion about the subject should be relatively easy, but you also have to ensure you try to gain a win/win situation.
- Ask for what you want
- Be suggestive about your goal
- Make it easy for them to provide what you want
That list is a bit simplistic, but also ambiguous, so here are some more detailed ideas
Some members of the press prefer not to use citations for legal reasons, or may just simply overlook such a common courtesy.
- Tell them it is OK to cite you
- Ask them if they want to quote you
- Suggest a juicy citation
Many press websites have restrictions on deep linking, mainly as leverage with partners and competitors, sometimes for legal reasons, or just lack of understanding of how the internet really works.
- Tell them it is OK to link to you
- Ask them if they would like some supporting materials to link to
- Suggest that a link might…
Engineering Opportunity
Being well connected is sometimes extremely useful
I have done a lot of what might be looked on as "joint venture" marketing, but at the end of the day it really resulted in being able to demonstrate your hot product for free on the stand of a Fortune 500 company at major exhibitions such as Cebit, Comdex, Game Developer Conference, E3 and ECTS.
In one situation I was talking to the rep of one Fortune 500, and asked whether their other Fortune 500 partner had arranged any special press coverage for an event where I was just expecting to have one of my guys sit at a computer and demo our products. We already had a large booth at the same show (I will save that for another day), so I wasn't going to be present on their booth much to talk to press.
The rep said he would check into it, and the next day I received a call from the press, did a short interview, and gained a large shared 1 page segment in the show edition of the primary press sponsor. The coverage was actually more valuable than if we had taken a paid double page centre spread, which would have cost more than our total booth outlay (I did some great deals on the booth).
I didn't get just name and company association, I effectively gained endorsements from both Fortune 500 companies, and our booth ended up being mobbed.
How mobbed? Well our booth had 16 demo computers and 2 rooms, one was intended for me to hold meetings, and the other was for storage. My CEO ended up holding meetings in the storage room that was rapidly cleared out and furnished with 2 chairs and a table, and missed all the development lectures he had planned to attend.
My wife and the CEOs girlfriend, who were meant to spend a few days shopping in London ended up on booth duty full time.
Confidence, Training & Professional Integrity
If you are confident in your dealings with the press, you can often negotiate better coverage (whilst retaining journalistic integrity).
Training is often effectively setting ground rules and expectations. If members of the press know they can get a juicy citation out of you, and you make their job easier as a source of in depth knowledge, they are more likely to follow through with a win/win situation, such that you no longer have to worry about whether you will get a citation or a link, and you can focus more on the content they will present.
The more you work it, the more success you will achieve. You deserve to get more than just crumbs, and defining what you want to achieve within a win/win relationship is highly important, and may even enhance your ethical working relationship with the press.

A couple weeks back, against a montage of mostly white models who looked like they were answering a casting call for J. Crew, Dawn Ostroff, entertainment president of The CW (that new UPN-WB mash-up) proclaimed: ''We will stay in touch with the [minority] market.''
It was a somewhat ironic, bold promise and one the former UPN entertainment chief may have trouble fulfilling. Her old network always featured black actors more prominently than any other broadcaster (see: Girlfriends, One on One, Everybody Hates Chris, and Eve) . But with only 13 hours of primetime programming to fill and 7.5 hours of returning shows virtually locked in there are signs that black-produced and -fronted shows, particularly comedies, may be virtually absent from the CW slate.
''I wouldn't say because of the merger that black sitcoms are dead,'' says Eunetta Boone, the creator and exec producer of UPN's One on One and Cuts. ''But they're definitely dormant.''
And to African-American writers who could be out of a job, it might as well be the same thing. Unfortunately, they've been through this rigmarole before twice. Executives at both Fox (with In Living Color and Roc) and The WB (The Jamie Foxx Show, The Steve Harvey Show) built their nascent networks with shows that catered to African-American audiences. Once they realized the limits this strategy imposed on ratings and profitability, they broadened their programming slate. Only UPN, which never found a breakout program that established another identity like The Simpsons for Fox and Dawson's Creek for The WB remained true to its African-American base.
So why is it a problem that these shows are disappearing? Because aside from gigantic hits like American Idol and CSI, white and black viewing preferences continue to be polarized. Read the ratings list in reverse and you'll get an idea of the top entertainment programs among blacks: Girlfriends (No. 165 overall; No. 3 among black households), All of Us (166; 4), Everybody Hates Chris (146; 5), Half & Half (167; 7), and One on One (170; 11). ''If we lose Half & Half and Girlfriends and end up with more How I Met Your Mothers as successful as that show is it's a great loss,'' says Vic Bulluck, executive director of the NAACP's Hollywood bureau.
It's of even greater concern to black writers, who, generally speaking, are only hired to work on shows that feature largely black casts. (The notable exception is Shonda Rhimes, creator and executive producer of ABC's Grey's Anatomy.) If those shows go away, the thinking goes, so will the jobs. ''When we got the news about the merger, it was a little heartbreaking,'' says Antonia March, a writer on the Fox comedy The Bernie Mac Show, the last remaining sitcom with a black lead on a Big Four network. ''There are, like, five or six black shows. There are going to be some black people out of work.'' March has reason to be concerned herself. Mac's chances of renewal next fall are iffy at best: Because of preemptions and time-period switches, the show doesn't even rate in the top 20 among black audiences.
