Darkroom Effects / What Is the Original Image?
written by floriansimon on 2011-04-14 in #gear #tipsterThe possibilities in a dark room are as unbelievable as they are endless. Although many people argue about "The Original Image", they mostly don't know about possible image manipulations within a dark room. However, I think that scans should be as honest as possible and they should not be enhanced by digital color filters. Be honest.

Custom-Bokeh Multiple Exposures
written by dazb on 2011-04-12 in #gear #tipsterThis is a great technique for doing multiple-exposures. First of all, I shot a roll of film through my SLR using a custom bokeh mask. The basic idea behind the mask is that it changes the out-of-focus areas from standard circle-ish shapes to fancy shapes such as stars, faces, hearts etc.

I am a 25 yr old who works in the fashion industry in New York and have been living in Brooklyn for 3 years now.
I have travelled both alone and with friends inside and outside of the country, so I know on both ends how it feels to be both a respectful guest and a thoughtful host. I am always respectful and aware of my surroundings while traveling.
I look forward to meeting like minded people who are interested in staying at my place while traveling new cities!
Marisa has completed online and offline ID verification.
My partner and I have just moved to New York and had a wonderful 6 week stay in Marisa's studio apartment upon our arrival. As described her place is cozy and well appointed for a couple or independent traveller - in a fantastic Brooklyn neighbourhood - Clinton Hill. I can't say enough good things about this neighbourhood - we enjoyed our time here so much that we decided to live here! Filled with beautiful brownstones, cafes and Brooklyn character, the location is perfect for exploring the city within 10-15 minutes of other Brooklyn favourites Williamsburg, Prospect Park and Park Slope and 20 minutes to downtown Manhattan. Marisa's place is wonderfully situated to get around with the C train (to manhattan) is just steps from the apartment's door and the G train no more than 5 minute walk! Also worth noting is how close the apartment is to a supermarket which can be very useful if you decide to stay in! The apartment itself isn't super large but is well equipped and makes great use of the available space. More importantly it has a really lovely feel to it - it felt very warm and friendly - allowing us to adjust to our new life in New York and feel we had a home amongst some rather large life changes! Marisa had kindly cleared some closet/cupboard space for us which was fantastic and allowed us to really settle in. Both Marisa and her partner Anthony were an absolute pleasure to deal with - they were the perfect hosts both prior and during our stay and were incredibly helpful - attending to any questions or concerns very efficiently and personably - even though they were travelling themselves! As we have moved into the area ourselves we hope to keep in touch because they both such genuinely lovely people! I would definitely recommend Marisa and her lovely apartment for your stay in New York! I am certain she would make anyone's stay easy and enjoyable!
Marisa and Anthony are a pleasure to host. They brought smiles and warmth with them and left much of their charm behind. Meeting such lovely people is a large part of why we do this. Highly recommended to all airbnb hosts.
Marisa and her boyfriend stayed in my house with their chihuahua for 9 days and you wouldn't even have known they were there. Great guests. Super clean, good communication. Great guests. Thank you!
Perfect guests!
Marisa and her friend are very nice guests, the contact was easy and friendly and all went good. I Would host them again with pleasure and recommend Marisa to all airbnb hosts!
Marisa misunderstood my offer of an early bag drop off and was unhappy (only apparent after the event) that they couldn't check in at 10 am(!) and also seemed to expect a late afternoon check-out as standard. I realise they were tired after travelling but feel her frustration was misdirected as hosts cannot cater to every flight arrival time and she'd been fine with this beforehand when I asked if they'd mind dropping their things and heading out. Her communication had been friendly and she and her boyfriend were also pleasant on arrival (though her friends who banged repeatedly on the door in a quiet street and pushed past me without eye contact or a hello left me a bit uneasy about leaving my home to them). Everything was left ok more or less and I'm glad they enjoyed their trip.
I've known Marisa and Anthony for many years. We've been up and down the East coast, the West coast, Europe, and Central America together. I have also spent many nights at their apartment. They are an amazingly warm couple. They care very much about the well being of the people they are around or hosting. Marisa and Anthony are some of the most accommodating people I have ever met. Their apartment is extremely cute and cozy. I would be a fool if I did not highly recommend this apartment. With that said, I HIGHLY recommend staying at their listed space.

Joan Smith: Strong religious belief is no excuse for intimidation
It's been a dreadful week for free speech. A meeting at a prestigious London college had to be abandoned on Monday evening when members of the audience were filmed and threatened by an Islamic extremist. Then the president of a student society at another London college was forced to resign after a Muslim organisation called for a ban on a joky image of the Prophet Mohammed. Finally, on Friday, the author Sir Salman Rushdie cancelled an appearance at India's largest literary festival, saying he feared an assassination attempt after protests by Muslim clerics.
Almost as sinister as this series of events has been the reaction to them. The first has received very little public attention, despite the fact that students who belong to the college's Atheism, Secularism and Humanism Society were unable to go ahead with a perfectly legal discussion of sharia law. They'd come to Queen Mary, University of London to hear Anne Marie Waters speak on behalf of the One Law For All campaign, when an angry young man entered the lecture theatre. He stood at the front and used his mobile phone to film the audience, claiming he knew where they lived and would track them down if a single negative word was said about the Prophet. The organisers informed the police and the meeting cancelled.
The fact that in a democratic country a religious extremist is able to frighten anyone into calling off a meeting is shocking – and so is the lack of a public outcry about this egregious example of intimidation and censorship. Tellingly, what has grabbed media attention is the second incident, when a secularist organisation at University College, London came under attack for publishing an image on its Facebook page of "Jesus and Mo" having a drink together. The Muslim group that wants to ban the image got a sympathetic hearing in the media, despite arguing openly for censorship. Extremist websites, meanwhile, reacted with the fanatical language that so often appears on such sites: "May Allah destroy these creatures worse than dogs," wrote one blogger.
No doubt that kind of inflammatory sentiment was in Rushdie's mind when he decided not to appear at the Jaipur Literary Festival. In a statement read out there, the author of The Satanic Verses said he'd been warned that paid assassins from the Mumbai underworld might be on their way to the event in order to "eliminate" him. While he expressed doubts about the accuracy of the warnings, Rushdie said it would be irresponsible of him to appear in such circumstances.
Why hasn't there been a furore about all these incidents? Why aren't MPs and ministers insisting on the vital role of free speech? None of the people involved was threatening anybody, unlike the three Muslim extremists convicted two days ago of inciting hatred against homosexuals. It's been left to organisations such as the National Secular Society – I'm an honorary associate – to say that a fundamental human right is being eroded in the name of avoiding "offence".
Most people in the UK don't condone violence, but a worrying number think we should be careful around individuals with strong religious beliefs. This argument is mistaken, because it suggests that believers aren't as capable of exercising, or under the same obligation to exercise, judgement and restraint as the rest of us.
It's also based on fear, tacitly acknowledging a link between demands for censorship and threats of violence. One often leads to the other, and it isn't just atheists and secularists who should be very worried indeed about that.

- New Technical Solution Seamlessly Integrates Operator Services into Mobile Apps, Delivering Exceptional Experiences for Consumers
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The GSMA today announced a new, flexible technical platform, the OneAPI Exchange, which will deliver network capabilities to mobile apps. This latest phase of the OneAPI global initiative, which facilitates closer collaboration between operators and developers, has been undertaken with leading mobile operators including AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefonica and Vodafone. The OneAPI Exchange will be operated by leading technology provider Apigee.
"The OneAPI Exchange promises to elevate the mobile app experience for consumers," said Michael O'Hara, Chief Marketing Officer, GSMA. "By supporting closer operator-developer relationships and greater cross-carrier interoperability, the platform will lead to seamless access to exciting mobile apps with enhanced features. End users will benefit from operator services they already know and trust, such as billing, messaging and operator identity, embedded within the apps they choose."
New Flexible Platform for Operator-Developer Collaboration
The new initiative incorporates the work undertaken by the Wholesale Application Community (WAC), which was integrated into the GSMA in July 2012. The OneAPI Exchange, which is currently in a working proof of concept form, improves that capability by giving operators the choice of providing developers with either their own customised application programming interfaces (APIs) or standardised APIs. This leads to better flexibility for operators to participate in the OneAPI Exchange programme, according to their own business objectives, while also providing benefits of scale and reach to their developers through API interoperability.
When a developer selects and registers with an operator developer programme, they are able to build applications that utilise that operator's APIs. The OneAPI Exchange also allows a developer to specify which other operators' networks they would like their app to work with, so services are not limited to the customers of a single operator. The platform seamlessly maps the APIs used by the app onto those used by the consumer's operator.
This federated approach enables operators to either customise the services available on their own platforms, while still reaching a mass market, or expose their network capabilities to developers through standardised APIs.
"The OneAPI Exchange is a completely new model for API interoperability that will dramatically simplify and accelerate the development of telco API-powered apps in a global marketplace. We are extremely pleased to be providing a leading edge solution powered by Apigee technology to the GSMA and its mobile operator members, and look forward to many successful deployments in the year ahead," said Chet Kapoor, Apigee CEO.
Globalising the OneAPI Solution
As part of the wider OneAPI programme, the OneAPI Gateway was commercially launched in 2012 with leading Canadian operators Bell Mobility, Rogers and TELUS and operated by Transaction Network Services (TNS) and Aepona. This platform, which has delivered access to apps that use network APIs to 93 per cent of Canadian consumers, will be integrated into the global OneAPI Exchange solution.
Standardised location, messaging and payment APIs are already commercially available in Canada through the OneAPI Gateway. A standardised identity API, which allows consumers to register with applications without the need to share a user identity and password with third parties, will be available across the global OneAPI Exchange in Q2 2013. A payment API will also go live on the OneAPI Exchange this year. There will also be the opportunity for other technology providers to collaborate in technical infrastructure developments going forward.
Opportunities for Developers
Through the OneAPI Exchange platform, developers will be able to create 'stickier' apps, enhanced by embedded operator functionality exposed via APIs. Closer operator-developer cooperation will facilitate the worldwide rollout of their apps. Using the OneAPI Exchange, developers can access network APIs using open and standardised web technologies, enabling easy integration across all platform types including Android, BlackBerry, iOS and Windows Phone as well as WebApps, that run within mobile handset web browsers and the native HTML5 platforms from FirefoxOS, Tizen and Ubuntu.
The OneAPI Exchange further allows developers to maintain a direct relationship with their chosen operator and their development resources. Within this environment, they can then subscribe to an operator network API and choose the additional operators they would like their app to work with. All billing, metrics and usage data is then streamlined through a single operator, eliminating the need for direct and complex multi-carrier onboarding.
"Consumers across the world are increasingly using mobile applications in their business and personal lives," continued O'Hara. "There is now an exciting opportunity for the mobile industry to provide solutions that simplify the app development process, accelerate time to market and facilitate worldwide reach. The OneAPI Exchange will help take the consumer experience to the next level."
Network APIs in Action at Mobile World Congress
A range of mobile app demonstrations will show network APIs in action. These include:
- Canonical's recently launched Ubuntu Phone OS pilots a simple one-click log-in using operator authentication and provides operator billing options for the Ubuntu One music download store;
- A bike hire scheme and pizza ordering service by Apigee;
- MYAndroidProtection that safeguards your mobile data against loss, theft or malware and MYMobileKidsProtection that sets boundaries for children when using smartphones, both by MYMobileSecurity.
Attendees to Mobile World Congress 2013 can experience these demos in the Connected City, Hall 3, Stands 3B2 and 3C2 and also at the GSMA Pavilion located in Congress Square.

Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of presentation.

Lou Bredemus died Thursday morning. Her death occurred just one year after Julia lost her half-sister, Nancy Motes, to an apparent overdose.
While surveillance cameras installed in schools prove to be useful, customers want something that is mobile and "with the child" at all times.
Child marriage of a 13-year-old girl was stopped in Bakukhedi village here by the district administration today.
"On National Girl Child Day, I salute the unparalleled accomplishments of the girl child. Their role in nation building is paramount," he tweeted.
"The Bill proposes punishment with imprisonment which may extend to one year or a fine of not less then Rs one lakh or both ."
The panel will meet the state school syllabus committee to impress upon the need to include child rights at primary and secondary level.
Actors Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have reportedly welcomed their first child over the Christmas holidays.
Using a rear-facing car seat until a child is two years old reduces risk of serious injury but close to one-quarter of parents in the US turn the seat around before their child is even a year old.

Present, past converge in Quaker Valley after-school program
Connecting the present to the past is the focus of a new course Quaker Valley Middle School students are offered in an after-school initiative.
"Sewickley has a rich African-American heritage and history filled with tribulation, unity and triumph," said Floyd Faulkner, who works as the district's community youth worker. "Growing up in Sewickley as a minority can be a challenging but enriching experience."
Faulker's program — "Intergenerational Connections — Connecting the Past to the Present to Impact the Future" — was scheduled to begin May 7 with a presentation by Tuskegee Airmen historian Regis Bobonis.
Bobonis is chairman of the Tuskegee Airmen Memorial of the Greater Pittsburgh Region. He spearheaded the $300,000 memorial that is located in Sewickley Cemetery. The monument opened to the public in September.
Nearly 100 Tuskegee Airmen were from Western Pennsylvania.
"This program will utilize adult minority guest speakers, who have knowledge of Sewickley's history to raise the level of cultural competency among the students of Quaker Valley," district spokeswoman Tina Vojtko said.
Two other classes are planned for May 14 and May 21.
Through the after-school program Studio Life, 30 to 50 students regularly participate in five classes that include visual art, philosophy and service.
Middle school teacher Jeff Evancho started the program, now in its sixth year, through his graduate work to study the impact of art.
For two hours after school some days, students attend classes that have no grades or pressure, Evancho said.
He calls the students decision to attend the classes "voluntary education."
"If you listen to their discussion, they are having rich discussions," he said.

The First Leaked Photos from Tom Ford's Spring 2011 Womenswear Relaunch Preview
The First Photo Leaks from Tom Ford's Spring 2011 Womenswear Preview
>> Photos may have been verboten at Tom Ford's womenswear preview yesterday — with the exception of those taken by Terry Richardson — but a few have popped up, all headshots. Even Cathy Horyn posted a few.
Ford is notorious for image control, but it's rumored that the image embargo wasn't for that reason alone: Richardson's photos are reportedly an exclusive for an all Tom Ford edited issue of Vogue Paris (likely the December/January 2011 issue, the issue that the magazine annually has a guest editor for). It makes sense, considering how close Ford and Carine Roitfeld have worked together in the past (and Roitfeld reportedly skipped shows yesterday because she was preparing for Ford's).
But Ford told the New York Times that he didn't allow pictures because fashion has become overexposed in recent years, in part because of the Internet: "I want fashion to be fun again, like it was in the '60s. You couldn't wait to get the clothes and put them on, and I think we've lost that." He added that photos will be available on his web site in December, along with a short film of the show.
The clothes, which he began working on late last spring, will be in his stores in late January or February 2011. He expects them to be very expensive: $3,500 to $5,000 for a suit, around $4,500 for a tuxedo, and a gown could be $20,000.

Words: Siren
Despite the ultra-modern weaponry, the metaphors deployed are as low- tech as ever, involving the use of dogs and spears. Indeed, weren't the dogs of war already straining at the leash in Mark Antony's time, when, according to Shakespeare, he declared that Caesar's ghost was about to issue instructions to "let slip the dogs of war"?
The Sun reported how the sirens "echoed across Baghdad" before the first strike, in a false alarm that was "eerily reminiscent of the start of the Gulf War". Those old enough to remember their ominous wailing on 3 September, 1939 - also a false alarm - will no doubt have their own reminiscences. But the sirens' echo goes back far beyond Caesar's dogs, to the mythology of ancient Greece.
The first Sirens were the daughters of Phorcys the sea-god, or possibly the randy river-god Achelous; their unbearably sweet singing tempted mariners to alter course so as to hear them better, thus ending up on the rocks. (Odysseus confounded them with earplugs.) Later they were out- sung by Orpheus, and jumped into the sea, whereupon they were turned into rocks.
The mechanical version was invented in the 19th century, and was used for the benefit of sailors. It was put on their ships rather than on shore, so the parallel with the mythical ones isn't exact. The first said, "Come hither", the other, "Keep away". But no matter - both signalled the presence of danger. Later they were attached to cars until they gave way to an instrument called the klaxon, which emitted an effective note of indignation as if to say, "Out of my way, peasants", and was in turn supplanted by the electric horn.
The unpleasant noises produced by these various sirens could hardly be more unlike the singing of the flesh-and-blood originals (who were sometimes confused with a different animal, the mermaid). But it's nice to think that the old sirens live on in another metaphor, though not common in modern literature; a metaphor for a predatory woman, or femme fatale. They were also a metaphor for any sort of temptation, and always had a pretty hostile press, except, notably, from Milton, who called them "pledges of heaven's joy", and "sphere-born harmonious sisters", the one representing music, the other poetry.
One hates to imagine what he would have thought of the banshee scream that sends civilians diving for shelter.

So we have these two dogs. Well… they are still very much puppies in many ways. The Odin is the oldest, he is just over two, and Freyja is just 9 months old. Freyja hasn't quite gotten the sleep through the night thing down yet. So we get up very early in the morning to let her out to do her "business."
Now we could just ignore her barking and sleep in, that is if we were completely deaf. For a small dog, (she is all of 6 lbs I think) she can make the loudest and shrillest sounds you have ever heard. I don't call it barking really because, that isn't all she does… whatever you call it, you have to listen to her! On the possitive side, you get to see Sunrises like this one!

There's not just one way to be a fan, and nothing preventing people from picking a team or a sport because it works with their commute or place of birth or television watching habits or whatever. But caring about sports is both easier and more rewarding when you know something about the sport's history. This is true in a basic knowing-what-you're-talking-about sense, but also because some sense of history provides context for the present, and both sanctifies and explains the monuments and heroes of the past we use to measure our current stars; it serves as a link between fans of different generations, and helps the various achievements of this generation make a little more sense. But there's only so much we can know, or might want to know.
There is just so much ghost basketball back there; we can't appreciate the paleo-game in the way we do today, both because the information we have is spotty and because that game is fundamentally different from this one. We remember the Jordans and the Birds, as we should, but with time we lose the finer, weirder points of their context; Chris Gatling and Vin Baker are reduced to bit part players. Which, in the broad sweep of things, they were. But this is sad in the same sweet way as nostalgia, this sense of justified fade. It's for the best not to be 18, toting around a head full of the stats and highlights of some decent, idiosyncratic mid-90's power forwards. The great stars, the ones everyone remembers, define the shape of the league and our memories of it, but one of the greatest joys of following the NBA are the players who give the league its color. By the time the next generation of dominant players rolls around and LeBron James retires, the life-affirming wackiness of dear J.R. Smith will be lost to history. And this is a loss: if we only remember LeBron and forget J.R., we're not necessarily remembering what's most fun about watching basketball right now.
There will be new characters, maybe even new J.R.'s, but it will be different, and they'll be doomed, too. As the seasons pile up, in the record books and in our minds, whole careers get swallowed up, leaving only a few names from each decade. The awesome Kings teams I grew up cheering for were really important to me, but nobody will remember them. They will remember who they lost to, one last defeat.
I never really watched Grant Hill play in the NBA until it was too late. When he was a defensive ace and generally useful guy on the late-period Nash Suns, he was discussed in a hushed tone that suggested he was a living ghost. This seemed absurd, even at the time: Hill was a very effective player and time steals athleticism from everyone. But Hill didn't work his way up to being a third option on a decent team; he was then making his way down from the All-NBA penthouse. Lost greatness, or at least greatness in decline, is sadder than empty promise, and Grant Hill's case is a particularly keen example of this. Rather than the slow, steady unravelling common to his peers, losing a few points per game and tenths-of-a-second per first step, Hill broke down all at once and then was left to rebuild what he could. Turns out, 'what he could' was fight through four lost seasons' worth of injuries before playing six more relatively healthy, if not All-Star level, years out West. A good final act, all told, if not the one for which he seemed destined during his zenith. Even a player as great as Grant Hill doesn't get to choose how it all ends.
Because of the three distinct acts of his career, the historical perspective on Grant Hill is murky; the three pieces have bled together. He had the potential for a much clearer story. In the timeline where Hill doesn't hurt himself, the intertidal zone between Jordan and Duncan/Bryant would have belonged to Hill; he could have shared it, who knows. I've grown up with LeBron James emerging as the most transcendent talent of his era; looking for comparisons to LeBron is a losing endeavor, but one that turns up more often than I expected was a young Grant Hill. This perhaps explains that weird tone of regret from his Phoenix years: at his realized peak ability, Hill was years ahead of his time.
There were no churning cosmic forces behind Hill's lost years, just the familiar cruel frailty of the human body. It would be easy to focus on a sad story of transcendence lost, but Hill's refusal to bend to circumstance and wrest back control of his legacy is, for all those brilliantly dominant seasons, what is maybe most impressive about him. That's what he got in this world, and he took it and he was not sorry.
I might as well admit that I am deeply bummed the fuck out I never got to see Hill use his full set of powers, but there are some positives to the way things turned out, and there was a subtle grace to the diminished player he became. They player he was when I knew him was one of the smartest NBA-ers in the modern game, and watching the craft and toughness with which he made the most of his remaining strength was as affecting as it was impressive. The tradecraft was the impressive part; the affecting part is how Hill must have loved the game to stick with it, millions of dollars after he needed his last paycheck and years after what he had to know was his last great day on the court. He had to have been so hopelessly in it for life that all he'd already done was not enough.
This matters, or at least it matters to me. It isn't about entry-level pundit speak, "heart" or "guts." This is a connection with the sport on an elemental level, in good times and bad. Dedication is something of a cliche, too, admittedly. But there's no other name for what kept Grant Hill in the game after he stopped being the Grant Hill he'd been.
Hill's place in the Hall of Fame is probably ensured. He was one of the best five players in the league during his heyday; his college career remains unfuckwithable. NBA history will always be defined by the biggest and brightest, but players like Grant Hill, who aren't quite era-defining players, fill in the gaps and create the texture for today's game. In terms of setting the course of the league, Hill falls short. He was great, but the memory of him will fade; it already has, and his greatest years seem long ago. But he taught us something all the same. If his earliest years is fading, the dedication that earned him his final NBA act will be harder to forget.

Sex workers in Christchurch are experiencing violence or abuse on at least a monthly basis, police say.
Detective Senior Sergeant Darryl Sweeney, the adult sexual assault team manager, said police were concerned by the "fairly common" victimisation of Christchurch's prostitutes, much of which went unreported.
Sex workers were often reluctant to interact with police, even if they experienced violence. Police were in constant contact with the Prostitutes' Collective to "break down any barriers", he said.
"At least monthly we are dealing with a working girl being victimised in some way, if not more. When they do come forward, it's taken very seriously," Sweeney said.
Last month, a sex worker in her 20s was assaulted in Cambridge Green, near the intersection of Barbadoes and Salisbury Sts, about 2.15am.
Connor Stephen James Galloway, 20, was arrested three days later and charged with assault with intent to commit sexual violation. He will next appear in court on July 28.
In early March, two street prostitutes were attacked on the same night.
One was sexually assaulted on an empty section in Bealey Ave, between Manchester and Madras Sts, about 3am.
Two hours later, another was punched in the grounds of the St Mary's Pro-Cathedral, next to St Mary's School.
No arrests have been made for those incidents.
Daniel Juan Daly, 29, who was convicted of assaulting one of two prostitute complainants, but acquitted on 11 charges, including rape and kidnapping, was ruled out of the March attacks.
He was in Nelson at the time.
Sweeney said any sex worker had the right to withdraw consent at any time.
"Just because you agree at the outset to a service, doesn't mean that when it goes wrong that just because there is payment involved that nullifies any criminal charge," he said.
"They can complain and police will take them seriously. It's society's obligation to look after them."
Prostitutes' Collective regional co-ordinator Anna Reed said the organisation "worked hard" to encourage sex workers to report violence to police, and make them aware of their rights.
The reported incidents would be "only a small amount" of what occurred, she said.
"It would have to be extremely bad [for them to go to police]."
Daly's acquittals on Monday could have "huge implications", Reed said.
There seemed to be little public sympathy for prostitutes.
"If people feel they are not going to be believed, why bother?," she said.
Sweeney said police regularly patrolled Manchester St and closely monitored CCTV footage .
The Christchurch City Council plans to set up temporary facilities for sex workers on Manchester St, with toilets, lighting, a security camera and a needle receptacle.
Cr Ali Jones said a public meeting was "next on the agenda" for the proposal.

"Fortunately, there is a weapon for preserving life and liberty that can be wielded effectively by almost anyone -- the handgun. Small and light enough to be carried habitually, lethal, but unlike the knife or sword, not demanding great skill or strength, it truly is the 'great equalizer.' Requiring only hand-eye coordination and a modicum of ability to remain cool under pressure, it can be used effectively by the old and the weak against the young and the strong, by the one against the many." ~ Jeffrey Snyder
Why Austerity Isn't Enough
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Sun, 2012-06-10 00:00
"Here, however, it's useful to put European expectations of what constitutes austerity into perspective. Does France's raising of the official retirement age from 60 to 62 really constitute "hardship"? Does Greece's effort to reduce its public sector payroll expenses from a 2009 high of 55 percent of state revenues to something close to the 40 percent figure recorded in 2000 represent "privation"? Does the British government's 2010 plan to return public spending to 2006 levels of a mere 41 percent of GDP suggest that David Cameron is "gutting" the welfare state? Please."

PoliticsUganda 'to withdraw' peacekeepers over row Minister says country will withdraw troops from Somalia and elsewhere over allegations of Congolese rebel support. 03 Nov 2012 12:51 GMT | Politics, Africa, US & Canada, Central African Republic, Congo Uganda says the withdrawal is in response to allegations from the UN that it is supporting Congolese rebels [EPA]Uganda will tell the United Nations it is withdrawing its forces from military operations in Somalia and other regional hotspots after the world body accused it of supporting Congolese rebels, the country's security minister has said. Wilson Mukasa said on Friday that the decision was irreversible and another cabinet minister would explain Uganda's position at the United Nations in New York. UN diplomats said that the Ugandan delegation, led by special envoy and information minister Ruhakana Rugunda, has not so far threatened to withdraw troops from international peacekeeping missions during discussions with UN officials in New York this week. A read-out of the Ugandan delegation's meeting on Friday with Indian Ambassador Hardeep Singh Puri, the president of the UN security council this month, also made no mention of threats to pull out troops. Ugandan troops account for more than a third of the 17,600 UN-mandated African peacekeepers battling al-Shabab rebels in Somalia and their withdrawal could hand an advantage to the al-Qaeda linked group. Its soldiers, backed by US special forces, are also leading the hunt for fugitive Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony in the Central African Republic, with some stationed in South Sudan. In a leaked report, a group of UN experts last month accused Uganda and Rwanda of supporting the so-called M23 rebel group commanded by Bosco Ntaganda, a warlord indicted by the International Criminal Court. India's statement said the Ugandan delegation expressed "grave concern" about the report of the Group of Experts, and added that the Security Council's Congo sanctions committee had yet to formally consider the experts' report. Puri noted that "views expressed by the independent experts do not necessarily reflect those of the United Nations," the statement said. It added that Uganda was an important UN troop contributor playing a vital role in Somalia and elsewhere. 'Tired of being maligned' Mukasa said Uganda would withdraw troops from Somalia, Central African Republic and Democratic Republic of Congo to concentrate on domestic security. "We are tired of being maligned even after sacrifices have been made to ensure that our friends, our neighbours are okay. The 'thank you' we get is that you are now aiding this, you are this and that, so we are tired," he told reporters in Kampala. Felix Kulayigye, a Ugandan army spokesperson, said the military had received no orders yet but was ready to act when it did. "We'll not stay an extra day in Somalia when we get that order," he said. UN diplomats said it was not clear whether Uganda meant the threats seriously or was merely trying to pressure security council members from taking action on the Group of Experts' recommendations. The experts called for UN sanctions against individuals supporting the M23 rebels. The African force has been vital to propping up a string of interim governments in Somalia and driving al-Shabab fighters from all their urban strongholds over the last 15 months, including the capital, Mogadishu, and southern port of Kismayu. A sudden reduction in its numbers, especially in Mogadishu, would risk unravelling the security gains that allowed the first presidential elections in more than four decades to be held in the capital in September. Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, the spokesman for al-Shabab's military operation, said it was unaware of Uganda's intention to withdraw and it would keep fighting the African peacekeepers. "After Ugandans leave, what else, it will be easier to fight the remaining invaders. We shall finish them," he told the Reuters news agency. Uganda has earned significant Western support for deploying its soldiers to a war zone few foreign powers outside the region have the stomach for. It also benefits financially for its AMISOM contribution while at the same time a troop presence in Somalia, Central African Republic and South Sudan gives the Ugandan military a big footprint across the region. "It's just politics and playing to the gallery. They won't pull out. Things will be quietly settled behind closed doors with perhaps future reports not being so critical," said London-based Somali-analyst Hamza Mohamed. The confidential 44-page report by the UN security council's Group of Experts, a body that monitors compliance with the UN sanctions and arms embargo in place for Congo, said M23 has expanded territory under its control, stepped up recruitment of child soldiers and summarily executed recruits and prisoners. The report said Rwandan officials coordinated the setting up of the rebel movement as well as its military operations. Uganda's more subtle support to M23 allowed its political branch to operate from within Kampala. Uganda and Rwanda have repeatedly denied the accusations.Source: Agencies
