Candy-Colored Congo Sees Waking Dreams Verge Into Nightmares

- Platon, 2012: Farm near Bihambwe, Masisi Territory, North Kivu. This rich pastureland is fiercely fought over in an escalating territorial conflict.
- Suspicious Minds, 2012: Three M23 rebels under Colonel Innocent Kaina (aka "India Queen") standing at the deserted Kanyaruchinya IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camp, which they had recently seized from FARDC control. The next day these rebels -- a force of less than fifteen hundred -- pushed onward for Goma, where they were victorious against FARDC troops and their UN support, which included Indian helicopter gunships. Witnesses say that Rwandan army troops came across the border to assist the M23, which is widely viewed as a Rwandan proxy force operating in Congo.
- Tombstone Blues, 2012 : Kanyaruchinya IDP camp, some ten miles north of Goma, was home to at least 60,000 refugees, displaced by the M23 from their homes further north, in Rutshuru Territory. When M23 forces pushed south to take control of Goma, this camp was abruptly abandoned. Fleeing inhabitants stripped the makeshift huts of all their belongings, including the tarpaulin roofs. Many headed for Mugunga IDP camp, just west of Goma. Tragically, the front line quickly followed them only a few days later, and they were forced to flee once again.
- Safe from Harm, 2012: Member of Mai Mai Yakutumba posing in a camouflage headdress made from foliage, near Fizi on Lake Tanganyika, South Kivu.
- Of Lillies and Remains, 2012 : Skull of a victim of the massacre carried out by the FDLR in Busurungi in 2009. The skull was secretly taken to Chambucha at the request of surviving relatives, so that it could be documented without reprisal on the villagers of Busurungi by FDLR. The skull was placed by the photographer in wet grass near a riverbank and dressed with cut flowers, a memento mori.
- Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams, 2012: A young girl wraps her arms in her clothes to keep warm in the early dawn in Busurungi, Walikale Territory, North Kivu. Dozens of her neighbors and family members were killed in attacks by the FDLR in 2009.
- Heartbreak Hotel, 2012: A hut under construction in Busurungi, Walikale Territory, North Kivu.
- Only Love Can Break Your Heart, 2012: FDLR rebel commander with a baby from the Tembo tribe in Busurungi, Walikale Territory, North Kivu. The FDLR massacred almost one hundred Tembo villagers here in 2009. In the background, members of Mai Mai Kifuafua, a Tembo defense militia, watch tensely. This photograph was taken in February 2012. Shortly afterward, Mai Mai Kifuafua joined with the Raia Mutomboki and drove the FDLR from this remote enclave.
- Lac Vert, 2012 : Villagers wash clothes and children swim in a lake formed in the crater of an extinct volcano. This lake is allegedly the site where bodies of Mobutu's political opponents were dumped after execution.
- A Dream That Can Last, 2012: M23 rebels standing with a crowd of civilians at a rally in Mabenga, Rutshuru Territory, North Kivu. The M23 held propaganda rallies, inviting local and foreign press, and demonstrating their force -- police as well as military -- in front of often unwilling crowds.
Richard Mosse's three years of photography work in the Congo using discontinued infrared film is haunting, surreal and beautiful, and it's currently on display at this year's Venice Biennial and in a book due out this fall under the work's title, The Enclave. Mosse is increasingly known for bringing the Cold War-era satellite film, Aerochrome, a new popularity.
The false-color infrared satellite film was initially used for aerial reconnaissance, showing healthy foliage as pink and red and thereby highlighting camouflage as blue or purple. Here, it is the medium for on-the-ground images from war zones of the Congo. As with the film's properties that switch one color for another on the spectrum, viewers may become unsure of what they are looking at, and where it fits in the cultural spectrum.
Through his lens, a world of sinister machismo is seen in the hues of prom dresses and flowers. Is it an art project or a serious documentary? Either way, the images upend these tidy categories and introduce messy questions about objectivity and aesthetics. In a recent interview for Wired, Mosse discusses how shooting with Aerochrome is like taking care of a baby, his "golden" Irish passport, corruption and the role of the artist.
Wired: After two books, an exhibition, a film and three years working with Aerochrome as your medium, how do you see yourself? Has working in this ambiguous zone of artist/reporter over a period of time made your thinking change?
Richard Mosse: When I return from my journeys the transitions or leaps between worlds are the hardest to reconcile. The return to brash New York restaurants and bars after months watching the turgid equatorial climate unfolding over the dense primeval jungle of eastern Congo — this segue between incommensurable realities is the most challenging aspect of my work, and one that I know I will never fully resolve. At work in the field — lost in an Iraqi dust storm, brokenhearted in a Japanese tsunami, hungover in Haiti, under the gun in Gaza, seduced in Beirut, or turning crimson in Congo — I feel at once deeply lucid yet entirely lost in my imagination; my waking dreams verge into nightmares. Returning to downtown Manhattan seems increasingly less real, and I wonder where home for me is actually located.
W: Is it possible to say if you find yourself to be more of an artist, or a journalist?
RM: Definitely not a journalist. I think that would be slander to the good people of journalism, if anyone tried to describe me as such. Journalists are bound by very strict codes of facticity, the accountant's truth, while I am accountable only to my imagination, and the world that pushes it into form.
W: Do you have an anecdote or story that highlights the difficulty/impracticality of shooting this project?
RM: Working in eastern Congo with a large wooden camera on a tripod was never going to be simple. You have to walk for days through the jungle to reach certain rebel groups, walking across shifting front lines, and brushing shoulders with suspicious guerrillas along the mucky track. The rain and lightning assault the landscape around you, sweeping through your tent at night. Perhaps the most frustrating, however, was the land's entrenched corruption, and its greedy officials. Each little village seems to have a mwami (chief), his queen, and a retinue of immigration officials, intelligence officers, and police, who will keep you in a little shed all day, shouting or pushing papers around their desk, until they receive a $20 bill. The national army are the worst, extorting the local civilian population as they process through the jungle to sell their produce on market day. You can see why rebel groups have formed to fight the government. People are so burned out, disillusioned by insidious corruption that has become institutionalized over several generations. They are humiliated, and that humiliation expresses itself in the most horrifying violence, cycles of massacre and systematic sexual violence. Recently, the massacres have been so horrific that unborn babies have been cut from their mother's belly while entire families are slaughtered by spear.
W: I was struck by the power of many of the portraits in The Enclave. Did you show any of the portraits to the portrait subjects after the fact? What did they think?
RM: I have shown my work to Congolese, and they usually ask me, why is it pink? An excellent question.
W: I've read that because of the temperature sensitivity of Aerochrome you had to lug coolers around the tropics–can you give any more insight into the technical aspects of what it was like working in the field?
RM: Yes, this film is critically heat sensitive, lasting a mere seven days at room temperature before expiration. It must be kept in a freezer. I lug around those big ugly beer coolers that plug into cigarette lighters in a car, or can be plugged into a wall socket. Hunting for working freezers in a sub-Saharan war zone has been my task of Sisyphus for the last three years, and I'm looking forward to the day (coming soon) when I run out of this pesky film forever, and no longer need to worry about keeping the film cold. It has been like carrying around one of those Tamagochi toys which you have to keep alive like a feeble baby.
W: Does your identity as an Irishman affect the way that you are able to operate in conflict zones? How so?
RM: The Irish passport is a golden ticket, one welcomed by leftists, guerrillas, and paramilitaries throughout the world.
W: Does it affect your perception of conflict zones in ways you are aware of?
RM: My identity, like so many people's in the world today, is deeply riven by space and time, nomadism, migration, and homelessness. I am not an Irish nationalist. But my sense of our own conflict in Northern Ireland, and it's profound complexity, has allowed me to avoid the pitfalls of sentimental idealism when it comes to appreciating conflict situations, and their subtleties.

We've added a Nature Awareness weekend September 11-12, consisting of two one-day classes – Nature Awareness Saturday and Intuitive Skills Sunday; both are at a spectacular mountaintop location at 8200 feet. You may take either or both classes. Nature Awareness features mental and physical camouflage, expanded awareness techniques, the "grandfather walk," stalking and "becoming the animal." Intuitive Skills includes many practical techniques to understand, validate and trust your intuition. Both classes draw on techniques passed on from Tom Brown, Jr.
We are also working on scheduling a fall Arrowmaking Workshop with Gary Baugh, date to be announced. If you've done bowmaking with Gary here is your chance to learn a huge amount about materials and methods as you complete several arrows. If you're interested in learning bowmaking at a later time, well sooner or later you'll have to learn arrowmaking so hook up with this opportunity now. Look for further announcements or check the New & Upcoming page at www.earthskills.com.
September 11, Nature Awareness, $70, is open. Frazier Park, no prerequisite.
September 12, Intuitive Skills, $50, is open. Frazier Park, no prerequisite.

Manufacturing activity in the central Atlantic region contracted at a less pronounced rate this month, according to the Richmond Fed's latest survey. Looking at the main components of activity, employment grew at a slightly quicker rate, while shipments exhibited more moderate weakness and new orders slipped further into negative territory. Evidence of diminished weakness was also reflected in most other indicators. District contacts reported that backlogs, capacity utilization, and delivery times remained negative but improved from August's readings. Manufacturers reported somewhat quicker growth in finished goods inventories.
Looking forward, manufacturers' assessments of business prospects for the next six months were more optimistic in September. Contacts at more firms anticipated that shipments, new orders, backlogs, and capacity utilization would grow more quickly during the next six months than they expected in August, while growth in capital expenditures would be slower.
Survey assessments of current prices revealed that raw materials grew at a somewhat slower rate in September than a month ago, while finished goods prices grew at a slightly faster pace. Over the next six months, respondents expected growth in raw materials prices to rise roughly on pace with August's expectations. They also anticipated price growth in finished goods to increase more slowly.
In September, the seasonally adjusted composite index of manufacturing activity — our broadest measure of manufacturing — increased four points to −6 from August's reading of −10. Among the index's components, shipments gained fifteen points to −2, new orders dropped six points to finish at −17, and the jobs index moved up six points to 7.
Most other indicators also suggested more moderate weakness. The index for capacity utilization picked up three points to −11 and the backlogs of orders edged up two points to finish at −23. Additionally, the delivery times index added two points to end at −2, while our gauges for inventories were mixed in September. The raw materials inventories index was virtually unchanged at 18, while the finished goods inventory index gained five points to end at 22.
Weak labor markets persisted in September, although there were some signs that the weakness was abating. The manufacturing employment index moved up six points to 7, while the average workweek index eased two points to −7. Wage growth, however, gained four points to finish at 6.
In our September survey, our contacts were more confident about their business prospects for the next six months. The indexes of expected shipments and new orders each increased ten points, with both indicators finishing at 27. Backlogs moved up eight points to end at 12 and the capacity utilization index rose five points to 20. Moreover, the vendor lead time indicator picked up eight points to 11, while readings for planned capital expenditures lost five points to finish at 5.
District manufacturers' hiring plans changed little in September. The expected manufacturing employment index and the average workweek indicator each slipped two points to finish at 3 and 10, respectively. In contrast, the index of expected wages gained four points to 24.
District manufacturers reported that raw materials prices increased at an average annual rate of 2.80 percent in September — down considerably from 4.16 percent in August. Finished goods prices rose at a 1.61 percent pace compared with August's reading of 1.46 percent.
Looking ahead, respondents expected that the prices they pay will advance at a 4.45 percent pace, nearly matching August's reading of 4.54 percent. Additionally, contacts looked for finished goods prices to increase at a 2.39 percent annual rate, somewhat below last month's expected rate of 3.35 percent.

Subject: Re: Q: Why is Bill gates such a geek?
Newsgroups: rec.humor.oracle.d
Date: 1997/01/07
A while ago this newsgroup have explained me the difference between Bill Gates, and a geek (thanks, Kyle!). I promised in return to post the article. So here it is, enjoy it, and thanks to everyone who have e-mailed suggestions, I used alot of them....
Begin article
"...Some kind of happiness is measured down in miles.
What makes you think you're something special when you smile?
Childlike. Noone understands. Jackknife in your sweaty hands.
Some kind of innosence is measured down in years.
You don't know what it's like to listen to your fears.
You can talkt to me. You can talk to me.
If you're lonely, you can talk to me..." -
sings Stan as he opens another letter.
"Why is Bill Gates such a Geek?"
To start off let's define a word "geek". Webster Dictionary of English language on-line defines geek as:
:geek: \'ge-k\ n [prob. fr. E dial. geek, geck fool, fr LG geck, fr MLG] :
a carnival performer often billed as wild man who's act usually includes biting the head off live chicken or snake.
I never heard of Bill Gates biting heads off chickens, not even mentioning snakes, even though he did perform on some of the carnivals, the latest one being the Comdex. He does not really qualify as a complete geek, as you can see.
"Computer geek" maybe? Let's see...
"The on-line hacker Jargon file version 4.0.0 24 JUL 1996" defines:
:computer geek: /n./ 1. One who eats (computer) bugs for a living. One who fulfills all the dreariest negative stereotypes about hackers: an asocial, malodorous, pasty-faced monomaniac with all the personality of a cheese grater. Cannot be used by outsiders without implied insult to all hackers; compare black-on-black vs. white-on-black usage of `nigger'. A computer geek may be either a fundamentally clueless individual or a proto-hacker in {larval stage}. Also called `turbo nerd', `turbo geek'. See also {propeller head}, {clustergeeking}, {geek out}, {wannabee}, {terminal junkie}, {spod}, {weenie}. 2. Some self-described computer geeks use this term in a positive sense and protest sense 1 (this seems to have been a post-1990 development). For one such argument, see http://samsara.circus.com/~omni/geek.html. {bletcherous}, {losing}, q.v., but the connotation is much milder.
Hmm. A tough one. I resolved the problem by asking Sally Gates's permision to look at some letters she received from her son. According to her, he was then 10 years old, and just left for a computer camp. Here are the letters in chronological order:
Dear Mom,
The kids are dorky nerds. The food stinks. The computers are the only good part. We're learning how to program. Late at night is the best time to program, so they let us stay up.
Love, Billy.
Dear Mom,
Camp is O.K. Last night we had pizza in the middle of the night. We all get to choose what we want to drink. I drink Classic Coke. By the way, can you make Szechuan food? I'm getting used to it now. Gotta go, it's time for the flowchart class.
Love, Billy.
P.S. This is written on a wordprocessor. Pretty swell, huh? It's spellchecked too.
Dear Mom,
Don't worry. We do regular camp stuff. We told ghost stories by the glow of the green computer screens. It was real neat. I don't have much of a tan 'cause we don't go outside very often. You can't see the computer screen in the sunlight anyway. That wimp camp I went to last year fed us weird food too. Lay off, Mom. I'm okay, really.
Love, Billy.
Dear Mom,
I'm fine. I'm sleeping enough. I'm eating enough. This is the best camp ever. We scared the counselor with some phony worm code. It was real funny. He got mad and yelled. Frederick says it's okay. Can you send more money? I spent mine on a pocket protector and a box of blank diskettes. I've got to chip in on the phone bill. Did you know that you can talk to people on a computer? Give my regards to Dad.
Love, Billy.
Dear Mother,
Forget the money for the telephone. We've got a way to not pay. Sorry I haven't written. I've been learning a lot. I'm real good at getting onto any computer in the country. It's really easy! I got into the university's in less than fifteen minutes. Frederick did it in five, he's going to show me how. Frederick is my bunk partner. He's really smart. He says that I shouldn't call myself Billy anymore. So, I'm not.
Signed, William.
Dear Mother,
How nice of you to come up on Parents Day. Why'd you get so upset? I haven't gained that much weight. The glasses aren't real. Everybody wears them. I was trying to fit in. Believe me, the tape on them is cool. I thought that you'd be proud of my program. After all, I've made some money on it. A publisher is sending a check for $30,000. Anyway, I've paid for the next six weeks of camp. I won't be home until late August.
Regards, William.
Stop treating me like a child. True -- physically I am only ten years old. It was silly of you to try to kidnap me. Do not try again. Remember, I can make your life miserable (i.e. - the bank, credit bureau, and government computers). I am not kidding. O.K.? I won't write again and this is your only warning. The emotions of this interpersonal communication drain me.
Sincerely, William.
and that was the last letter she ever received from her son. It happened more then quarter century ago. Since then Bill Gates have changed alot. Those 30000$ he had received was enough to start his own company and to hire people like Tim Patterson, who wrote most of the software for him. Since those days Mr. Gates stopeed coding, and mostly governs the taking over of the world by Microsoft. Therefore Bill Gates is NOT a geek. He is a wannabe geek. Here are helpful signs that you can use to determine the difference between real geeks and wannabe geeks:
|Wannabe Geeks
|Real Geeks
|Buy computers from mail-order shops and upgrade them by hand
|Create their own using the chips they make in their basement
|Complain about the bugs in the sure-to-be-a-hit super cool game that they're creating
|When told about bugs, they respond: "You mean some people don't write perfect code the first time???"
|Learn to type really fast so that they can write more code faster
|Create devices that hook into their brains and allowing them to input code as fast as they think
|Work really hard and finish the weekend assignment in a day
|Have their artificial intelligence program write it for them so they can code more interesting things
|Use an optimizing compiler to get that extra speed
|Optimize their code by hand...
...and do a better job
As you can see, Bill Gates is not a geek. He was formerly a wannabe geek, but has never approached the nirvana that being a geek truly is. Hopefully, with this helpful guide to lead you, you won't make such a horrible mistake again, Dear Clueless.
I would like to sincerely thank Sally Gates, Tina, Kyle R. Hoffman, and Steve Kinzler in proiding support and help in my research to answer your question.
"Bill Gates is a man who thinks he is important
Thinks MSN is on a roll.
He's the one who thought up DOS and Windows
And now he's planning net.control
Bill Gates! Bill Gates!
The net doen't belong to you.
Bill Gates! Bill Gates!
The net doen't belong to you.
Go home.....
Bill Gates is a man who thinks he is legend
But his company is full of geeks. { as "computer geeks" }
Expensive applications with useless volumes
Installing one could take you weeks.
Bill Gates! Bill Gates!

All you need is 50 cents. E-mail it to the first 500 people to read this newsgroup and have each of them e-mail it to 500 more people, and each of them e-mail it to 500 more people, than tell all of those people to e-mail all their money to me.
It only takes ten minutes to get this started. Then, next time you do it, instead of sitting at a 'puter keyboard, you'll put your "Get Really, Really, Rich in 10 Minutes!" program on the air as an infomercial shot at your new beachfront mansion in Aruba, with your yacht, expensive sports car, and trophy wife (You should see MINE!) in the background.
So what are you waiting for? Thinking won't make you rich. ACTION will make you rich!
Just to prove I'm sincere, here's a certificate good for 50 virtual cents that you can mail to anyone you forgot during the recent winter solstice holidays.

Lets see, this board also has the following features:
- Built-in nuclear reactor means you can use it as a portable without carrying batteries.
- Reads your mind (i.e. no keyboard or mouse).
- Can alter the fabric of space and time with the new TARDIS coprocessor.
- Keeps your breath minty fresh.
- Parking for up to 20 midsize vehicles.
- Some puny computers store recipes. This one is a trained French chef.
- Can be used as food in an emergency. In connection with the above "chef" feature, it can actually cook itself if necessary (note that this will void the warranty).
- Makes you instantly well-hung. That's right: instantly well-hung. [This *is* what the high performance specs are really about, right?]
- Cleans your carpets.
- Does your laundry.
- Mows your lawn.
- Will make you the All Being, master of time, space, and dimension.
I think there are more, but that should give you an idea of the kind of system you're looking at.

The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
}Aha! This is where I'm supposed to say "Not this time.", thus invoking Sewells Second Law.
}Sewells Second Law: "Any Oracular question and answer pairing that explicitly or implicitly states that it will not be digested shall be digested."
}Sorry pal, I don't play those sort of games.

I received the following tidbit over e-mail today. I have the distinct impression that the Oracle is
the true author.
8x-----------------------------cut here-----------------------------x8
The 'Car Talk' show (on NPR) with Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers have a feature called the 'Puzzler', and their most recent 'Puzzler' was about the Battle of Agincourt. The French, who were overwhelmingly favored to win the battle, threatened to cut a certain body part off of all captured English soldiers so that they could never fight again. The English won in a major upset and waved the body part in question at the French in defiance. The puzzler was: What was this body part? This is the answer submitted by a listener:
Dear Click and Clack,
Thank you for the Agincourt 'Puzzler', which clears up some profound questions of etymology, folklore and emotional symbolism. The body part which the French proposed to cut off of the English after defeating them was, of course, the middle finger, without which it is impossible to draw the renowned English longbow.
This famous weapon was made of the native English yew tree, and so the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking yew". Thus, when the victorious English waved their middle fingers at the defeated French, they said, "See, we can still pluck yew! PLUCK YEW!"
Over the years some 'folk etymologies' have grown up around this ssymbolic gesture. Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say (like "pleasant mother pheasant plucker", which is who you had to go to for the feathers used on the arrows), the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'f', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute are mistakenly thought to have something to do with an intimate encounter. It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird".
And yew all thought yew knew everything!

It's been done. I forget exactly when, but I remember seeing a null answer selected, sometime within the last 200 Digests. It was the perfect answer for the question it answered.
The web software doesn't seem to be able to search for a null question or a null answer, so good luck finding it, and better luck finding out if that was the only one ever selected.
I thought it was a wonderful and memorable event, and wished I had written either the answer or the question, so that I could have been part of this momentous happening.
I have never had a null question selected, either. I sincerely believe that my null queries are better crafted and more elegantly phrased than any of those that have been chosen, and that i have simply been unmlucky in not getting the best of answers.
I have had at least 5 answers to null queries selected, of course, but that's easy. You write it up in advance, and wait months for a null question; at last you get it, send it in, bingo. 591-04 594-08 595-06 602-03 609-09 are mine, and they are not bad, but I have seen better answers to the same question.

If you put all your fingers and toes together you would still not be able to add up to how many years ago David arrived in Southern Africa. Initially he trained and worked as a commercial pilot in the Eastern Cape before moving north to Namibia.
Here he was lucky enough to meet his future wife & business partner, Charlotte. After a couple of years working in aviation and safari management they headed off to Botswana where they ran and built lodges together for four years. The conclusion of their time in Botswana was marked by their marriage at Camp Okavango, after which they decided to return to Namibia and set up home in Windhoek. They purchased shares in what was then 'Africa Tourist Info.' and just under two years later bought the remaining holding of the company, and ATI Holidays as we know it was born.
How did you get into tourism: after NASA through me off the shuttle program
What is your 'must have' travel items: the wife and a credit card
If you were a super-hero what would your name and super power be: The Honey Monster? No, how about Severus Snape, who besides his fantastic potion skills, showed an unswerving loyalty through love to a seemingly lost cause, which is a kin to supporting Huddersfield Town FC!
What is the most unusual client behaviour that you can tell us about: There really are just too many, but the Italian couple who in the Okavango clubbed their hot water bottle to death with a walking stick, takes some beating. They randomly assumed that the soft warm thing at the bottom of their bed was a snake?!
What meal could you eat everyday: a med/hot Butter Chicken with garlic naan and jeera rice
Tell us something that most people don't know about you: I once lost a juggling competition to an alien with 10 arms. No really. I also used to be commercial pilot until the door fell off my plane - but that's a story for another day, best told around a camp fire, over the odd Islay malt.
Charlotte first arrived in Namibia from the UK in 1997 shortly after completing her degree in Environmental Science. She worked for a while on a guest farm west of Okahandja and a bird rehabilitation centre outside Windhoek. After meeting David a few months later they moved together to Maun, Botswana. Here they ran Oddballs Camp in the heart of the Delta before moving to Desert & Delta Safaris where they worked at a number of different lodges in their capacity as relief managers.
During this time they spent evenings trying to persuade elephants to move out of camp, they rebuilt lodges in the heaviest rains for 20 years, fended off inquisitive lions late at night in Savuti and generally had an amazing bush experience.
In 2002 Charlotte & David decided to focus on building their own business somewhere a little more sedate, and moved back to Namibia to buy a share in ATI Holidays before taking over sole ownership in early 2004. Charlotte remains passionate about her background in environmental education and management, and these beliefs are at the heart of ATI's sustainable tourism vision.
Today she is the financial brains behind ATI's success.
How did you get into tourism: by accident, I wanted to live in the Okavango Delta
What is your 'must have' travel item: a sarong and a camera (I know, that's two…)
What is the most unusual antics have clients gotten up to: we had a Belgian guest at Oddballs who jumped into the channel outside the bar and started doing laps in his speedos (having been warned earlier that day about the 4m croc)
What is your favourite book and/or movie: Philip Pullman His Dark Materials trilogy.
A quote to live by: Don't let the bastards get you down.
What meal could you eat everyday: Curry.
Margo joined the ATI Holidays team in April 2011 in the then newly created position of marketing manager, with no delusions of grandeur whatsoever she was soon referring to herself as the 'marketing department'.
After finishing high school and her studies Margo spent a number of years travelling through South Africa and Europe, working first in the golfing industry and then in the actuarial department of an international insurance company… no wonder she took up rock climbing in her spare time.
Eight years later Margo found herself moving back to her home country and pursuing a career in tourism.
First establishing and heading up the MICE division of one of ATI Holidays' competitors before being head hunted to join an Italian specialist ground handler before joining ATI Holidays.
What is your 'must have' travel item: Dental Floss – some things you just cannot explain
What is your favourite holiday destination: My in-law's spare bedroom – it's cheap, in the Cape winelands and the food is really good!!
If you were a super-hero what would your name and super power be: Mamma Crunch… She can prepare fresh, wholesome, organic food with a flick of her manicured hand, she can coax a baby to sleep through the night with a touch to the temple, her house is immaculately clean whenever she turns the key in the door…. I am the eternal optimist, but with a young son and three puppies I doubt it will ever happen.
What is your favourite book and/or movie: Bill Bryson's Short History of Nearly Everything. It went down a whole lot easier than Stephen Hawking's Brief History of Time.
A quote to live by: It's better to keep quiet and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt
Monica grew up in the small town of Kamanjab, in the heart of Damaraland and spent most of her free time on her grandfather's farm on the outskirts of the petrol station. This is where her love of the outdoors started and developed into a passion. At the end of 2002, fresh out of school, Monica started her career in tourism. Working at a privately owned lodge on the western border of Etosha. This is where the travel and tourism bug bit hard and what was supposed to be a normal summer job turned into a career.
In 2007 she joined Wilderness Safaris and worked at some of the most exclusive lodges throughout the country, from the Caprivi strip to the isolated Skeleton Coast. Whilst working at these lodges she had the opportunity of getting involved in some of the amazing conservation projects that are going on in Namibia, including the Desert Lion Conservation as well as the Desert Elephant project.
After Wilderness Safaris, she decided to take a chance to see what "town" life is all about and moved to Swakopmund where she lived for about 2 and a half years, before moving to the north of Namibia, to Ongwediva and in July 2012, Monica finally moved to 'the big city' and joined the team at ATI in November 2013.

Christine was born in Cape Town and grew up in a small town called Molteno in the Eastern Cape. No, we couldn't find it on the map either!
Christine completed a diploma in Travel and Tourism at the Cape Technical College as well as her Western Cape tour guiding course before moving to Walvis Bay in 1996 where she worked for a small company doing city tours and transfers and met her husband, who she bowled over by introducing herself as Cindy Crawford – that'll do it!
A year later she relocated to Windhoek, joined Wilderness Safaris Namibia as a tour consultant and worked her way up to a Lodge Manager, Operations Manager and Market Unit Manager.
Christine joined ATI Holidays in January 2012, and after a baptism of fire emerged, still smiling, to lead our team of consultants

Corinna, who is a fully fledged Namibian-German joined the ATI team in April 2013. Growing up she spent a lot of time on her grandfather's farm surrounded by about 250 horses – this 'country estate' is now called Midgard.
This love for all things equestrian resulted in Corinna competing in horse riding events from the age of 9 and she has represented Namibia in both show-jumping and equitation (no, that is not a spelling mistake and I had to google it as well) now that Corinna has been forced to 'grow up' she doesn't have as much time to ride, but does try as often as is possible!
After finishing high school in South Africa and studying graphic design, Corinna did the obligatory stint in Europe, travelling and working in both Germany and England, and it is in England where she discovered her love for the travel industry, more specifically business travel, and has been fortunate enough to visit more than a dozen countries during this time.
In 2011 Corinna returned to Namibia – and made the switch from business to leisure travel, first joining a aircraft charter company, where she worked for a year, before joining ATI Holidays
How did you get into tourism: Mmmmhhh…. My parents and I did not agree on what I should study so after a year of studying graphic design at AAA college in Cape Town (I actually wanted to study Make up and special effects or photography).

After finishing high school in Windhoek, Ariane left Namibia and moved down to Stellenbosch, South Africa to learn how to drink wine and occasionally take classes to obtain her Bachelor Degree in Tourism Management.

Revealed Home in Campustown is a Reminder of Area's History
CHAMPAIGN-- As work on a new a high-rise building in Campustown continues, demolition of the building that used to sit at the corner of Sixth and Green has revealed a house.
It's been there for decades, and wasn't a secret to the city, or even to some people.
Just last academic school year several people lived in this house tucked away behind commercial buildings.

Faux 'n Fab: French Art Deco Paste Bracelet
Claire Phillips, author and curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum characterizes Art Deco jewelry design as "dense concentrations of precious stones, ranked together in geometric patterns and held by the most delicate and discreet platinum or white-gold settings." That is most certainly an apt description of the glamorous and sleek streamlined forms that conveyed the Art deco sense of sophistication and elegance.
Crafted in that unmistakable ultimate Deco style, this French paste and silver bracelet artfully brings forth the all the glamour and glitter without stressing the purse strings. Round gems of faceted clear paste are set into a hand made sterling silver mount and fashioned into the classic flexible band style bracelet of the time. A pavé of clear paste and the whiteness of silver display a panorama of the tenets of design. Hand engraved side details subtly accent the understated nature of Art Deco chic.
The box is from France and has printed on the interior "Pearles Lisia Joillerie 115. Champs Elysées ?17, Paris" and in smaller letters "Cannes, Vichy, Biarritz" and may be original to the bracelet.
Measurements: 7-3/8 inches 18.8 cm) in length when worn by 5/8 of an inch (1.5 cm) in width. Has a weight of 34.7 grams.
Hallmarks: French hallmarks on the clasp.

About Humberside Airport
Humberside Airport (HUY) is the UK's 28th busiest airport in terms of numbers of passengers. It is located at Kirmington in North Lincolnshire, 12 miles west of Grimsby and about 15 miles from Kingston Upon Hull.
In 2011, Humberside Airport handled more than 270,000 passengers, which was more than a 3% decrease from the previous year.
Passenger numbers at the airport peaked in the early to mid-2000s when the facility was used by around 500,000 passengers per year. Cargo throughput at Humberside, however, reached record levels in 2011 at over 1,100 tonnes, around 10 times the level seen in 2005.
HUY offers scheduled flights to Aberdeen and Amsterdam as well as holiday flights to Bulgaria; Crete; Jersey; Majorca and Turkey.
The History of Humberside Airport
Humberside Airport was previously a Royal Air Force base, RAF Kirmington, which opened in 1941 during World War II. The site was abandoned after the war in 1945, and lay unused until the 20th March 1974 when the local council re-opened the site as Kirmington Airport. However just six days later the local area was renamed Humberside following a local government re-organisation in England, and the name was changed to Humberside Airport.
By the mid 1980's, 100,000 passengers were using the airport each year. In 1986, the airport became a private limited company owned by Humberside County Council. A runway extension is approved and completed in 1992 taking the runway length to 2200 metres. In June 1999, Manchester Airport plc buys an 82.7% share of the airport.
The new millennium sees increased passenger growth at Humberside with over 450,000 passengers using the airport in 2000. More services were added and in 2003 a major expansion of airport leisure facilities is unveiled, including a larger restaurant, a new pub and viewing conservatory. In March of that year Humberside Airport breaks the 500,000 passenger mark for the first time in its 29-year history.

This metal can turn salt water into drinking water and even fuel
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a special metal alloy that can spontaneously split saltwater into hydrogen and oxygen, generating both hydrogen fuel and clean fresh water at the same time.
The metal alloy is mostly aluminum, with some gallium, indium and tin thrown in for good measure. When submerged in water, the alloy causes a spontaneous reaction that boils the water to generate steam while also splitting off hydrogen gas. The steam can the be condensed into sterilized drinking water, while the hydrogen goes into a fuel cell to generate electricity. This process will continue until the aluminum is all used up, leaving non-toxic aluminum hydroxide waste behind, which you can either put in a landfill or eat if you have an ulcer.
This reaction doesn't need purified water to work. It'll do just fine with dirty water, or even salt water, which opens up all kinds of possibilities. Primarily, the researchers are looking to develop a small (sub 100 pound), inexpensive, entirely self-contained water purifier and power generator that could be air-dropped into remote villages in Africa. The overall cost for the system works out to be about $1 per gallon of fresh water and $0.35 per kilowatt of electricity, which is pretty cheap considering that no infrastructure is required besides the reactor itself.
Eventually, we might start seeing this technology show up in boats, submarines, robotic underwater vehicles, or (and this is just my hope) a little portable gadget you can take camping with you.

Investigators who examined the simulator belonging to Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, pilot of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, are said to have found several runways near the Indian Ocean.
The home-made simulator of the pilot has been loaded with runways of at least five airports in and around the Indian Ocean, where the search for the vanished Boeing 777 is gaining momentum.
"The simulation programmes are based on runways at the Male International Airport in Maldives, an airport owned by the United States (Diego Garcia), and three other runways in India and Sri Lanka, all have runway lengths of 1,000 metres," an unidentified investigation source told local Malay daily Berita Harian.
At an earlier press conference on Monday, Malaysia's defence minister and acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein denied speculation that the plane could have landed in the US military base Diego Garcia.
Earlier, the New York-based non-profit radio station WNYC released a map, based on the jetliner's duration of flight as revealed by authorities. The map contained 634 potential runways in 26 different countries and suggested that, if the plane was hjiacked, the hijackers could have landed at any of them.
Malaysian authorities are also looking at a possible pilot suicide.
The search for the missing plane enters the 11th day as the aircraft, with 239 people on board, remains elusive without any clue as to its whereabouts.
Flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport en route to Beijing at 00:41 on Saturday 8 March (16:41 GMT Friday).
About 50 minutes later, the aircraft lost contact with air traffic control.
No distress call was made.
On board, there were 12 Malaysian crew members and 227 passengers from 14 countries. That included 153 Chinese and 38 Malaysians.
Two Iranian male passengers, Pouria Nour Mohammad Mahread and Delavar Syed Mohammad Reza, were travelling on fake passports. Neither had any apparent links to terrorist groups.
No debris from the plane has been found in the international search.
Last confirmed communication with Indian Ocean satellite occurred at 08:11am, meaning plane continued to fly for seven hours after radar signal was lost.
At least 25 countries, including China, the US and Singapore, have now joined in the search for the missing plane.

So you're a Google guru or a search siren… I bet you still don't know every last trick and tool in Google's array of services. But whether you're a newbie or expert, the following infographic from GCFLearnFree may very well be worth printing out and posting in your office or teacher's lounge.
It briefly details the 3 top things you can do with popular Google services. Some are basic tips and some might pique your interest to learn more. For example, have you ever actually uploaded a video to YouTube? The process may surprise you in terms of how 1) simple it is and 2) how many things you can actually do to your video while uploading. It's pretty crazy.

Rapid Repairs Application Deadline Is Monday! (So Is Final Day Of Sandy Garbage Collection)
Posted By Ned Berke On December 28, 2012 @ 1:00 pm In News & Features | No Comments
Sure, Rapid Repairs may have gotten off to a sluggish, ineffective start [1]. But we're hearing things have really picked up, and thousands of homes have already been fixed up thanks to the innovative disaster program.
But the time to apply is nigh! On Monday, December 31, the city will no longer accept applications for Rapid Repairs. If you have any work that still needs to be done, make sure you apply today. It won't hurt you to get in line even if you turn the service down.
You can find out more about Rapid Repairs here [2], and apply here [3].
Also, if you've still got junk and debris in and around your house from Superstorm Sandy, the Department of Sanitation – which has done a spectacular job over the last few months – will cease bulk garbage pickup on Monday as well. So make sure you get that junk to the curb, otherwise you will have to hire a private collector to haul it away.

Rate Dr. Gary H. Lum
Dr. Gary H. Lum's Ratings
I am 58 yrs old and have been seeing Dr. Gary Lum for about 4 years. He is the BEST dentist I've ever had (and I have had much work done in my lifetime - including braces for 6 yrs, gum surgery, etc.). The staff at Central Park Dental is OUTSTANDING. They are friendly, always helpful, and sooooo caring! Dr. Lum is efficient and KNOWS HIS STUFF! Also, he is always pleasant and I know him to be a very kind, family man. His first concern is his patient and he goes out of his way to cause as little discomfort, as possible. MY GRADE FOR DR GARY LUM is... A++++++

Finally got myself to go in after many years of neglect. Chelsea the hygienist did an awesome job for my cleaning. Dr. Lum fill some teeth and now I can smile comfortably again! Great place. Wish I had come in sooner!

So far I've only gotten cleanings at this office. Dr. Lum is very nice and everytime I come in, he manages to get me to laugh. He's very laid back and casual. Some dentists I've been to in the past have been very stuffy and snobby. It's been very pleasant so far.

The clinic is located at a shabby shopping center, and they charged me $50 for the appointment cancellation without any notice. I'm glad that I didn't choose this doctor eventually.

My son goes to school next door so I thought I would give this office a try. I was suprised how nice and new this office was. Dr. Lum did my cleaning very gently.

I just moved to the Bay Area from NY recently. I loved my NY dentist and was afraid I wouldn't be able to find anyone as good out here. I heard from my friends that some dentists try to push un-necessary procedures to make money. I went in telling Dr. Lum I wanted dental veneers done, even though I didn't, to try to test him. He talked me out of it and tried to convince me my teeth were beautiful as is. :) (I already knew that) So from that, I knew he was an honest guy. He did my clean and said all I needed was more flossing. Basically, he repeated everything my childhood dentist from NY told me which made me feel very comfortable. Thanks for your kind care Dr. Lum! Suzie.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2012626].votes_count ]]
Haven't been to the dentist in a while and expected a whole bunch of cavities. Dr. Lum only found 1. He said I was lucky and that I had age on my side to thank for that (I'm 22). However, he spent the next 20 minutes after the filling telling me *why* I should brush and floss. Other dentists I've been to only told me to brush and floss more, but never explained to me why. Great guy and shows genuine care for people.

This old frig works except for the evap. fan. I measured what I thought was 120v and the motor but no spinny spinny. Found a replacement motor but the same thing. So checking further I find I do have 120v there but no neutral. I pull this beast away from the wall and find the wiring diagram. Turns out the neutral is switched at the defrost board. At least that's what it looks like to me. It seemed strange to me to have a fan controlled on the line and neutral side. I'm left assuming it's the defrost control causing the problem. Any thoughts.....?

Yes I saw that it could go through the termination stat and heater on the neutral side but it also connects to the defrost board. A service manual for this one would help.

connects to the Defrost Board, but not controlled by it ...
Neutral for the Evaporator Fan goes thru the Defrost Heater and the Defrost T'stat

Thanks RegUS_PatOff, that's exactly the info I needed.

Also, after replacing the failed part, when plugged, in the fan will not start right away.........It needs the defrost terminator to close before the neutral side is completed..........................Been caught on this one once, you plug it in and the fan still does not start.. ........
