Brooks Automation's CEO Presents At Citi Technology Conference (Transcript)
Let me spend a moment now talking about the key drivers in the core businesses for the company, that is the semiconductor and adjacent space. Every time there is semiconductor content, semiconductor front end we participated in the ways that we always have for Brooks for automation and for vacuum capability.
When we look at the adjacent spaces, the form factor actually has a very big impact for us. So we have the semiconductor content whether it's on a laptop or a PC or a tablet, but when we talk about the mobility aspect of this, when we talk about the display, we have applications related to vacuum for the coating of the display, when the accelerometer keeps the image upright. We have MEMS devices that we participate in. For the lighting of the screens, we have LED applications and so when we look at the semiconductor content, we are participants just like we used to be.
But when we talk about the mobility capability here, it adds significant amount of growth opportunity for the company and in particular when we talk about the things that we do with robotics and with cryogenics, everyone of the adjacent spaces gives us additional opportunities.
So when we look at a $1.5 billion [same], when we look at the growth opportunities that exist over the next three years, that will be incremental approximately $300 million of opportunities associated with the adjacent spaces.
We also see that there is a longer-term opportunity that exists in the move to wafer shift from 300 millimeters diameter to 450 millimeter as this is a pretty abrupt discontinuity in terms of the automation, in terms of the requirements of the systems of the robotics and of the cryogenics, it will require new products in every area and at the EUV lithography, although it's difficult for us to say exactly what the incremental opportunities will be, we know that from a cleanliness standpoint that it might provide the opportunity for an increase in vacuum requirements.

Rob Lightbody's Website
Queen Elizabeth 2 (or QE2 as she was almost always referred as) was launched in 1967 by the Queen at the famous John Brown's Shipyard in Clydebank, near Glasgow, Scotland and began her long, long service life in May 1969, travelling nearly 6 million miles (further than any other ship ever) before retiring to Dubai in November 2008.
She was the Flagship of the British merchant fleet and the only ship providing a regular scheduled 5-day transatlantic passenger service for over 30 years until the launch of the QM2 in 2004. She was the first ship in the world to be awarded 5 stars by the Royal Automobile Club, an honour normally reserved only for top-class hotels.
When she was new she had fantastic modern space-age 1960s interior decor and a revolutionary sleek modern white funnel. Over the years she became increasingly more "retro" and in the late 1990s this came to a pinnacle with the "Titanic" style that the public think they wanted. Elements of the original design remained until 2008, however, if you knew where to look and the overall effect was rather good.
Speed - Right up until her last day in service in November 2008, QE2 was the fastest merchant ship in operation capable of speeds of up to 34 knots ; her service speed of 28.5 knots, was far beyond most cruise ships maximum speed and her average speed, including time spent stationary in port was over 24 knots. She could effortlessly exceed 30 knots, even on her final voyage to Dubai. She could make the Atlantic crossing in less than 4 days. (By comparison, the 2007 Queen Victoria's maximum speed is in the very low 20s and she needs 8 or even 9 days to do the crossing). She could sail backwards (19 knots) faster than many cruise ships can sail forwards.
Power - NINE diesel engines, each larger than a London double-decker bus, connected 130,000 hp to the largest marine electric motors ever built and gave her the most powerful propulsion plant on a non-military vessel. She was the most powerful and fastest twin propeller ship in the world.
QE2 on the Clyde on the 20th of September, 2007, 40 years to the day since her launch there. QE2 was Home for her birthday, and there was a HUGE turnout especially since everybody now knew she only had 1 year left at sea... these photos and video is of her heading into the night, to continue her round-Britain celebration birthday voyage.
Well Travelled - She completed 26 circumnavigations of the world and travelled 5,875,264 nautical miles!! That's further than any other ship ever has, or ever will do again. Its equivalent to 270 times around the equator or 14 return trips to the moon. She carried more than 3,000,000 passengers. She completed 1,374 voyages with an average speed of 24.75 knots. She crossed the stormy Atlantic Ocean an amazing 806 times.
Boat deck's promenade - a site that would be familiar to travellers in 1910.
The sun deck & funnel bar. Perfect for sheltered sun bathing
The Chart Room bar - one of my favourite spots on board
More outdoor deck space than any other ship, all teak, much of it sheltered.
The wonderful Yacht Club for dancing the night (& morning!) away or a quiet afternoon coffee or glass of wine.
Some Highlights from my many QE2 pages on this site :-
<< For hundreds more pages, see the menu on the top-left and the levels below it!
This fascinating web page, describes the style of the QE2 when she was launched - what was known as "space age style". Much derided now, she was much admired and very advanced in her early days!
Icons of man's achievements in the 20th Century.

Puppies for Panhandlers
A new plan dispenses stipends to take strays and panhandlers off San Francisco streets. Will it work?
Brought to you by Liberty Mutual's
The Responsibility Project
According to a San Francisco Chronicle story, two of residents' biggest complaints are panhandlers and stray dogs. City Hall has a new plan to get them both off the street, by paying panhandlers to adopt animals and become professional "pet guardians" for a weekly stipend of $50- to $75. In exchange, panhandlers would pack up their cardboard signs and stop begging on the streets.
The program, called Wonderful Opportunities for Occupants and Fidos (WOOF) might "prompt eye-rolls at first," the city's homelessness czar Bevan Dufty told the paper, but as he claims, "It's a win-win for the panhandlers and the puppies."
There are some stipulations on the new program. Panhandlers will be screened to ensure they're not homeless (city officials say most panhandlers live in government-funded housing but make money on the streets). They'll also have to show that they're mentally stable and don't have a history of violence. They'll receive training sessions and the city will give them dog food, toys, leashes and vet care. And city officials hope that WOOF will even save some canine lives. Dogs will be chosen from those that are least likely to be adopted as a result of being unsocialized – in fact, about 15 percent of dogs are deemed not adoptable because they're not socialized, and most of them are eventually euthanized.
Rebecca Katz, director of Animal Care and Control, told the Chronicle that the program will help the city's shelter cope with the additional 500 dogs per year it has received since the recession struck because owners can no longer afford their pets.
And while city officials are acknowledging that the program might appear to be a bleeding-heart liberal approach to panhandling and puppy abandonment, Maria L. Ganga at The Los Angeles Times notes that a quarter of visitors polled said their biggest complaint about the city wasn't related to traffic or the weather but rather "encountering the homeless people and panhandlers."
Will it work? And could it be a model for other cities with similar problems? Sound off.

Merry Christmas just past people.
We hope you had a wonderful time and like us ate too much, drank too much, laughed a lot, talked a lot, watched telly, watched the sweet new puppy gadder about in the wrapping paper, endured an argument or two and watched the fences blow down in the garden from a warm and snuggly house, and you are now feeling fat and ready to get back to the norm – that's just about the shape of it here.
However, the children have other ideas. Still up in the sky on Christmas-hype the only option is to exhaust them. Get them out, running about like loons. Felixstowe swimming pool & prom…. here we come…on scooters.
We have been blessed this holiday to have had lots of visitors. Lovely pals that are here to enjoy Suffolk en famille, wonderful neighbours (that have written this AMAZING game-changer of a book – buy it!) and some, but not all of our lovely big family. We have had a ball and am finding myself up here at 06.25 inspired and writing, in fact am dead inspired about making some new works I have planned.
This coming year sees me working hard, having help in the studio, planning, painting, lots of drawing, playing with the dog, organising TONS of wonderful one day art workshops for you to get creative too, going on lots of holidays , finishing my book (more on that later) and taking part in some shows, it's going to be a fantastic 2014 everyone…bookmark this page!
Much love and many happy wishes for 2014 to you and all yours.

I ordered these to give as party favors for a two-year old's Monkey themed birthday party. I must say, the bottles are sooooo stinking cute! At first I was going to just use solid colored bubbles, but was so happy when I found these! They are PERFECT!!!!
As far as pricing goes, I did shop around several sites and found that this one gave me the best value for my money! I am super pleased with EVERYTHING I have ordered from this site! Because of the incredible customer service I received, I will make it a point to be a repeat customer!
Thank you for helping to make a little girl's birthday party so very special!

All the Qtips and my mom crammed into a bus tour to Palm Springs. We were on the bus about three hours each way and saw the Fabulous Follies. I don't regret a minute of the day but it was hard to be on that bus so long. I took lots of photos and looked for stories everywhere. There were quite a few. You have to get out there and live so you have something to post about. Right now all I can do is remember that bus and be glad I am off the darn thing.
A sea of Qtips. I know them from every angle. Nice people. So nice.
Fortunately I had a window seat. I liked watching the landscape go by with all the chain stores that are so familiar on the coast here. The time went by with a funny comedian on the tv and a few rest stops. We had to pick up at three stops so that took time before we headed out into the desert. So many wind farms.... My mind wandered to all details of the steamy love affairs of my life. A good way to wile away the hours.
I liked the hills and we even saw a spot of snow on the distant mountains.
So how many palm trees do you think we saw in Palm Springs? That iconic town is so old and jaded. Just the brief ride thru the center of town was a tour in galleries, home decor and coffee shops. It was the land of can do and relax.
An Art Fair was going on. Art everywhere!
Amid all this oppulence there was a small group of OWS people with signs on the street corner making lots of noise. I saw a police car cruising by but not many people where taking notice. The rich just kept on getting richer as the poor were getting poorer. Palm Springs still screams RICH and there were very few empty store fronts. I know the average person in that town is hurting tho just like everywhere.
We tried to find Liberace's house but it was in the process of being torn down and relocated to Branson as a historical sight. Back to counting Palm Trees.
Some are soooooo tall.
This is the main intersection of town. Palms in all directions and characters at every curb.
We had to cross this street to get to the old theater. Characters everywhere.
This cute little therapy dog sure loved all the attention. She blended right in to the eclectic atmosphere on the main street in Palm Springs.
After the show I enjoyed seeing the palms in the twilight.
Back with the Qtips on the bus. Crammed in and yaking yaking yaking. I looked out the window again and I continued imagining every scenario of lovemaking I have ever had. That and contemplating the futility of long distance relationships and any possibility of real love.
Deep thoughts as the bus zoomed thru the night traffic and home.
Nice trip though.
Amazing how the desert is all the same hues..:)

A six bedroom Farmhouse in the beautiful Somerset countryside, on the edge of Bruton.
Durslade Farmhouse is located on the site of Hauser & Wirth Somerset¹s new art gallery and forms part of a group of Grade II listed farm buildings that date back from as early as 1760.
Recently renovated, the Farmhouse is full of character and bold innovative twists. It celebrates the natural antiquity of the building combining original fittings with unexpected interiors and vintage furniture completed by unique artworks from Hauser & Wirth's artists, including a specially commissioned painted mural in the dining room by Guillermo Kuitca, and a mesmerising video installation by Pipilotti Rist which projects the Somerset landscape onto the walls of the sitting room through a chandelier of found objects and glass.
A rustic kitchen with a SMEG range and kitchen table together with a study and outside private terrace complete the downstairs rooms with a laundry room in the basement.
The Farmhouse is available to rent midweek, for the weekend, a week or for a fortnight as a family holiday, wedding party or as a very special get away location for friends.

Emerging Concepts With Percutaneous Osteotomies
Although percutaneous surgeries were once fraught with complications, advances in techniques and hardware are leading to better outcomes. These authors offer pearls on performing percutaneous osteotomies and review step-by-step techniques for the forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot and ankle.
Foot and ankle surgeons have utilized percutaneous osteotomies since the 1970s. Unfortunately, during those early years, many doctors who performed the procedures had little or no formal surgical residency training in the percutaneous or open techniques. Due to this lack of training and no real continuing medical education-approved formal courses to perfect the techniques, there were a high number of complications and therefore many lawsuits.
The lead author personally had the opportunity to see and evaluate some of these patients as a student and surgical resident in Chicago in the 1980s. The lead author's experience in his podiatry school clinic and residency program setting allowed him the opportunity to evaluate some of these travesties. In the 1980s, there was even a two-part investigational report on the evening news that was called "The Walking Wounded." This investigational report documented some of these devastating cases and outcomes that gave percutaneous procedures a bad reputation. Although many of us found that we could utilize the concepts of minimal incision surgery (known back then as MIS surgery) for some procedures, most surgeons abandoned the techniques due to the bad rap they received.
It was also around this same time that Ilizarov was developing techniques, percutaneous procedures, external fixators and recommendations for managing limb deformities and congenital abnormalities. It was not until the late 1980s when these procedures and fixation devices came to America. Subsequently, orthopedic and foot and ankle surgeons started to apply these techniques and concepts for a variety of surgical procedures on the extremities.
In the 1990s, Paley and his associates developed a systematic evaluation process for applying specific angles in the evaluation of lower limb deformities.1 This process added to the existing angles that we foot and ankle surgeons have been utilizing for years. Now the angles, procedures and techniques have become an integral part of surgical training programs as well as board certification in foot surgery and reconstructive rearfoot/ankle surgery.
Since the 1990s, there has been a significant improvement in internal and external fixation by many of the orthopedic companies, especially for foot ankle surgery. These improvements have provided us the opportunity to apply these principles to more of the procedures that we perform. It was only 10 or 15 years ago when there was only a small group of surgeons applying these techniques. However, now most residents who perform reconstructive procedures are applying the sound principles and fixation devices to provide better reproducible results and outcomes for our patient population.
Key Principles In Deformity Assessment
Principles in deformity assessment are now well established and published in numerous texts and peer-reviewed journals.2-5 These concepts and associated angles are commonly referenced and utilized in foot and leg surgery here and abroad. These standard angles help us determine where deformities are located and how we should go about correcting them. We now have a much better understanding of osseous and articular deformities, and the structures at risk that we have to take into consideration when performing surgical interventions. Surgeons now apply these sound principles to prevent other deformities or injuries of adjacent structures when performing surgery on the foot, ankle and leg.

NEW ORLEANS – Federal authorities in New Orleans accused a former stock broker today of stealing almost a million dollars from his clients.
Michael Wooton, 45, of Metairie was charged in federal court with mail fraud, according to U. S. Attorney Jim Letten.
Prosecutors claim that starting in 2006, Wooton told his clients he would invest their money in bonds that would return 15 to 20 percent per year. Authorities said he instead invested it in high-risk options, or simply stole the money and sent false monthly statements to hide it.
The victims are believed to have lost about $913,773.
If convicted, Wooton could face up to 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years supervised release.

BOSTON -- No NHL team had more players skating abroad during the lockout than the Boston Bruins. And when the labor strife finally ended, they showed they were sharp.
"It really helped with my conditioning," said Johnny Boychuk, who played in Austria and returned to score a goal in the Bruins' 3-1 victory over the New York Rangers in the lockout-delayed opener Saturday night. "It's good that a lot of guys went over there and got the feel of game play instead of sitting around doing nothing."

It took longer than everyone hoped, but the Bruins didn't disappoint hockey-hungry fans in their lockout-delayed opener Saturday night, writes Joe McDonald. Story
Milan Lucic was criticized for showing up to camp out of shape, but he proved his doubters wrong against the Rangers on Saturday night, writes James Murphy. Blog
• More Murphy: Hamilton debuts
Tuukka Rask stopped 20 shots for Boston in his first game since taking over as starter from two-time Vezina Trophy winner Tim Thomas. Milan Lucic and Daniel Paille also scored for Boston, which won the Northeast Division last year before losing in the first round of the playoffs.
Brad Richards scored for the Rangers on an assist from Rick Nash, the former Columbus star who was New York's biggest acquisition over the summer. Henrik Lundqvist made 31 saves for the Rangers, who finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference last season but lost in the conference finals to the New Jersey Devils.
Rask backed up Thomas during the Bruins' 2011 Stanley Cup run and inherited the top job when the enigmatic goalie decided to take a year off to rest.
That was before the lockout that put the rest of the league on a forced sabbatical.
A dozen Bruins didn't wait around and chose to play in Europe, including forward David Krejci and defenseman Andrew Ference, who each had an assist in the opener. They played in the Czech Republic, as did Rask and defenseman Zdeno Chara.
"For sure, it was good to go play," Rask said. "But it's still a different game. I don't know if it helped me."
The Bruins opened a 2-1 lead in the second period and then protected it in the third when the Rangers had a 5-on-3 power play. New York managed just two shots on goal during the 90-second, two-man advantage and then gave up a power play with their own penalty 10 seconds after Boston's fourth skater returned.

"We didn't score and if we had scored, it's a tie game," Richards said. "This is a tough matchup. It's a good matchup for the first night, to see where you are at."
Taking the ice 3 1/2 months late for a 48-game sprint to the Stanley Cup playoffs, the teams played in front of a sold-out crowd that was given free concessions and T-shirts and an apology from Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs for keeping the game away.
"I think that we've done damage," he said in a pregame news conference. "We did hurt the game. We didn't just hurt Boston; we hurt the game of hockey."
Both teams had short shifts throughout the game, perhaps as a result of the shortened, one-week training camps that may not have been enough to get them ready for even a truncated season. But the Bruins, who had nine players skate in Europe during the lockout -- among the most of any NHL team -- seemed to have more energy at the beginning and didn't seem to tire as quickly as the defending Atlantic Division champions.
Boston scored first 14:14 into the season when Lundqvist, the reigning Vezina winner, stopped a shot by Krejci but left the rebound where Lucic could knock it back in. Paille tipped Gregory Campbell's shot past Lundqvist midway through the second period to make it 2-0.
The Rangers made it a one-goal game at 12:50 of the second on Richards' goal. They had a chance to tie it when Lucic was sent off for boarding after sending Carl Hagelin face-first into the glass. Thirty seconds later, Zdeno Chara was caught for hooking when he waterskied to the net behind Nash and prevented him from getting a shot off.
But the Rangers managed just two shots on the 90-second 5-on-3, and just 10 seconds after Lucic returned Nash drew a hooking penalty of his own.

"If we score a goal there ...," forward Ryan Callahan said. "It definitely hurts momentum. That's how it works in this league. You can't be discouraged by that."
The Bruins seemed to make it 3-1 when Krejci shot at an open net, lighting the spotlight that signals a Boston goal. But Lundqvist reached back and grabbed the puck -- perhaps after it crossed the line. Video was inconclusive.
Boston did take a two-goal lead as Boychuk celebrated his 29th birthday with a goal on a wrist shot from the right circle.
Game notes
There were a handful of fights, including one between Mike Rupp and Shawn Thornton in the second period. ... The Bruins were 32-0 last season when leading after two periods. ... The Rangers pulled Lundqvist for the first time with 2:39 left but wound up getting a too many men on the ice penalty in the final minute. ... Forward Chris Bourque, the son of Hall of Famer Ray Bourque, made his Bruins debut.

Welcome to GamesRadar's Week of Wolfenstein. Achtung, and prepare yourself for five days full of injured Nazis, delicious dog food, secret rooms, and mecha-fascists as we celebrate all that is pure and good about fighting the Third Reich. Today, we'll be kicking things off with some essential factoids that all self-respecting Wolfenstein fans should know by heart - but probably don't. So scroll on for obscure trivia lurking in Wolfenstein 3-D's occult background, and come back throughout the week as we continue celebrating the past, present, and future of the first great first-person shooter.
Returning to Wolfenstein years after it released brings back mixed memories. The worst: spending countless hours mashing the spacebar while pressing up against every wall until we were certain we uncovered all the secret rooms. The best: finding the secret Pac-Man level on the seventh floor in Episode 3: Die, Fuhrer, Die!
Above: Forget Mecha-Hitler. These wobbly-eyed ghosts were the most dangerous Wolfenstein enemies. Touching them meant instant death
From the dark blue wall tiles to the way the level was littered with Nazi gold where the Pac-Man pellets would be, this surprising secret level suggests that Wolfenstein's Nazis were up to much more than manufacturing mecha versions of their mustachioed leader.
Above: A map of Floor 7 from Episode 3 to help you get to the super secret Pac-Man level. Head here for more maps crafted by Christopher Long
Above: Wolfenstein 3-D's bloody homage to the arcade classic
Above: See the super secret Pac-Man level in motion
By the time Doom introduced gamers to the joys of wielding a chainsaw, Wolfenstein 3-D had already carved its place in the canon of PC games. So it's fitting that Doom II: Hell on Earth featured a gory recreation of the very first level in Wolfenstein 3-D.
Above: While we're at it, let's compare BJ Blazkowicz's always arching eyebrows against the furrowed brow of Doom's space marine
It's true. Dragging bodies out of sight, changing uniforms, and performing silent kills might have given you a taste of what Solid Snake and Sam Fisher would have to offer years later. Although these features were completed, they were eventually removed because they over complicated the control scheme and slowed down the game's pace.
Above: Hints of the stealthy shooter - that might've been - can be seen in the title screen. Look how sneaky!
Above: Although you could give a grunt a good scare if you snuck up behind them, Wolfenstein 3-D might've been so much more

DREAD TIMES: The New Reality
I am of 4 traditions that make it difficult for me to panic about the economy. First I am African American. I can't remember except for a few instances when most of us weren't in a recession. 2nd I was raised COGIC before prosperity theology. Back then a rich man getting to heaven was like a camel going through the eye of a needle. 3. I was a hustler. I was collecting soda water bottles, and selling The Dallas Express (Colored News Paper) starting in the 2nd grade. I bought cigarettes for 35 cents a pack and sold them for a nickel a piece in high school. I practiced pitching coins until I stayed paid behind the gym in high school. 4. I was a Panther. We took a dedication and belief and fed thousands of kids across the country, started an award winning school, and we didn't have a tear to cry.
Like my preacher daddy used to say, "Be encouraged". I was living in an area last week where the median income is 60K. I wasn't at that level but I had risen from being "po" all the way to "poor". Right now I am in gratitude to be living in my oldest sister's house in Dallas where the median income is 50 cents on a dollar for food stamps. Seriously, I would say 30k may be a generous estimate. We are taking care of each other. My sister will get $200 a month for the room. One of my nephews gets access to my car to go report to his P.O., buy groceries, and get around, in exchange for driving me every once in a while and putting the gas gauge where it was when he got the car, and not smoking or transporting alcohol. I gave my cousin my weight set (300 lb Olympic Barbell, and about 200 lbs of dumbbells). He is going to act as my trainer for me doing political education classes for his followers.
I don't see nothing but opportunity. The same economic system we had 40 years ago is back. Let's have rent parties and let Junior boy nem run into the cuts with our hush on them as long as they pay tithes to the local revolutionary groups, and pledge not to run out of the neighborhood with our stuff. Let's turn poison into medicine and lemons into lemonade.

Remembrance Day National Roll Call at JSCC
The students, faculty and staff of Jackson State Community College came together at 11:30 today in the campus quad for a time of remembrance. As a part of Remembrance Day National Roll Call, the JSCC Office of Veterans Affairs hosted this ceremony in which fallen soldiers from this area are remembered.
Tracy Morton, Coordinator of Veterans Affairs, opened the ceremony by introducing the color guard. The Presentation of Colors was done by Jackson State students/veterans and the school's chorus, Innovation, performed the National Anthem.
The keynote speaker for the event was Mr. Bobby Smith, Vice President of Academic Affairs. Mr. Smith noted the origins of Armistice Day and how this day coincides with what is now Veterans Day and Remembrance Day. It was mentioned how important it is for all American citizens to take time to remember the ones who have fought for our freedom and especially those who paid the ultimate price with theirlives.
Tracy Morton along with seven others read the roll containing 140 names of Tennessee soldiers that have died in the line of duty since 2001. It was a poignant moment in the ceremony when Tracy described all the elements of the POW-MIA Table that was on display. Each element of the display carries a special significance that describes how a soldier missing today may not be with us, yet remembered. At the end of the ceremony, a National moment of silence was observed at 1:00 p.m.
Following the event there was a reception in the Student Union Building. This provided an opportunity for students and veterans to fellowship.

The Boycott Israel Meeting, held April 08 2009
by Tony
on Sunday 12 Apr 2009
type: Opinion/Analysis
topic: Protests
region: Bristol
Ron Press of the Boycott Apartheid South Africa campaign was, at the last minute, unable to make this event. But a lady from one of the Red Choirs based in Wales admirably filled his place. She was able to give us inspiring eyewitness accounts of some of the boycott actions she had attended.
Boycott actions where people of good conscience, not criminals, were arrested in their quest to publicise the human rights abuses going on now in Israel/Palestine, Human rights abuses that Gordon Brown and friends of Israel are shamefully weak and slow in condemning.
What an indictment of our whole justice system that our police force is used against anyone who tries to expose these crimes against humanity. Our trade and arms agreements with Israel finances racism, occupation and apartheid.
It's impossible to sit on the fence where these human rights abuses are concerned, we are guilty of collusion by not condemning such breaches of International Law.
After the presentation there was a questions and answers and more harrowing details of trying to live under an oppressive apartheid regime were discussed.
One questioner in the audience raised the point that we should not fall into the trap of comparing the apartheid in South Africa with what is happening now in Israel/Palestine. It was unanimously agreed that the suffering endured in both of these countries during the struggle to overturn evil apartheid was and is immense, and our intention would never be to play down the suffering endured either South Africa or Israel/Palestine.
And one can be sure that Willy Mashida, head of the congress of South African Trades Unions was not belittling the suffering of his own people when, after a visit to Palestine in 2006, he said, "The horrendous dehumanisation of Black South Africans during the erstwhile Apartheid years is a Sunday picnic compared with what I saw and know is happening to the Palestinian people."
These are the atrociously evil values that our country upholds when it arrests protestors for trying to publicise the awful facts of Israel's racist apartheid occupation.
Afterwards we watched some videos of boycotting action, here is a link to one of the videos we watched which took place in France.
This video is in French but it's not difficult to follow the general theme.
I managed to catch a few of the phrases while watching this video such as, "A shame on France", "All these goods support Israel's criminal activities", "If Sarkozy won't act to stop this, then we will", "Shall we buy these products?" to which came the resounding reply :
"Every buyer has the right to know the origins of what he's buying".
Grateful to anyone able to provide a more extensive translation of this video.
The tee shirts the French Boycott Israel Activists were wearing said, "Palestine Vivra":
"Palestine will Survive".

text: One person was transported following a four vehicle accident early Saturday afternoon on the Pennyrile Parkway in Hopkins County. State Police say 90-year old Lonnie Todd, of Madisonville, was northbound, near the 40 mile marker, just south of the Earlington exit. 40-year old Thomas Drake Jr., of White Plains, was behind Todd's pickup in his pickup truck. 44-year old Bill Pailin Jr., of Covington, Tennessee was behind Drake in a station wagon. 46-year old Paula Berry, of Mortons Gap, was behind Pailin. For unknown reasons, Todd stopped in the right northbound lane of travel, just south of exit 40. The front bumper of Drake's vehicle then collided with the rear bumper of Todd's vehicle. The impact caused both vehicles to cross into the emergency strip, striking a guardrail. The impact of the collision caused Todd's vehicle to come to final rest on top of the guardrail at the northbound KY 2171 overpass, facing north. Drake's vehicle came to final rest in the northbound emergency strip facing north. Following the collision with Todd's vehicle, Pailin attempted to slow and avoid a second collision but was struck in the rear by Berry's vehicle. Pailin's vehicle came to final rest partially in the median facing north, while Berry's vehicle came to final rest in the right lane of travel facing northeast. Todd was transported by ambulance to Baptist Regional Medical Center for injuries sustained as a result of the collision. None of the other drivers, or any of their passengers were injured. The accident occurred around 12:53pm Saturday.

A few people walked right past my house while I was sitting on the porch handing out candy. So I had to resist saying "Fuck you then, more candy for me." That was a fun Halloween. . . .
I burned a playlist of Halloweenish songs on CD and played it on a boombox for the trick-or-treaters. That was something to do with all this boring time I have lately. (For anyone curious, here was the track listing:
Moar Ghosts 'n' Stuff (Hard Intro Mix) by deadmau5
Ghosts 'n' Stuff (the version without Bob Saget at the end) also by deadmau5
Friendly Ghost by Eels
Halloween Mask by Electric Owls
Ghost Ship by Kromestar
Station Six by Downlink
Phantom (Pts. 1 & 2) by Justice
2005 by Excision and Downlink
Lipan Conjuring by Tool)
And that was my Halloween.
Also, I've been putting this off for a while. Back a while ago, my mother put this thing on TV called like the Victoria's Secret model runway something (I don't remember). Anyway, I asked her what that was and she replied "Nothing you'd be interested in, just the most beautiful women in the world."
I wonder if that means something, because she seemed pretty serious. And someone from school has said that she could tell I wasn't straight by my "aura" (she thought I was asexual until she found out I'm not).
Things to do:
I found an awesome forum web site called My Little Remix for brony musicians like me. If you're one, join it. Unless you're a jerk, because that place is the only forum web site I've found that has absolutely no conflict, and I'd like it to stay that way.
I'm cheating on this place with that web site, which is why I've been pretty inactive the last couple of days.
That about sums up my feeling towards the entire holiday.
Are you trying to inform everyone that you've become a blogging hore?? I got shut out of Halloween this year, no kids. They might have been spooked by the darkness or my neighbor's dog. He has an intimidating bark, but he's a big baby. It's ok with with me though, my yard and the street are a fucking disaster from the storm. I'll be quite busy burning this weekend for sure.

CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
Large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary science to address Australia's major national challenges and opportunities.
CSIRO manages national facilities and collections that are opened to researchers around Australia and overseas.
In this article

CSIRO provides expertise and capabilities in monitoring and verification (M&V) technologies for the geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2).
These are being incorporated to verify containment security in the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC) Otway Project.
Monitoring the migration patterns and behaviour of injected CO2 is an integral part of carbon dioxide geological storage.
The monitoring methods used to verify the safe storage of CO2 underground are heavily borrowed from the petroleum industry, which have been using these technologies for decades in oil and gas exploration.
The close collaboration of CSIRO with the oil and gas industry allows the implementation of existing sound knowledge to be specifically applied to CO2 storage.
The research and technologies that CSIRO applies to the monitoring of CO2 aim to:
The CO2CRC Otway Project monitoring and verification program benefits from CSIRO's unique and broad range of expertise. The team combines years of in-house expertise, analysis, interpretation, industry experience and collection of high quality data in:
Regular geochemical and geophysical monitoring is conducted prior to injection to produce a baseline for comparison, and is consistently measured throughout project timelines. The M&V program builds upon the comprehensive site characterisation studies which are essential to develop robust risk assessment and M&V plans that are regularly reviewed and enhanced.
CSIRO's geochemical and geophysical technologies underpin the research into the migration monitoring and verification of CO2 plumes in the subsurface.
The monitoring CSIRO conducts includes:
Technologies for monitoring and verifying the behaviour of an injected CO2 plume will demonstrate the safe storage of CO2 to community, industry and government.
New technologies are continually being enhanced and developed to provide further information on how the CO2 behaves in the subsurface and determine the geological formations that are most suitable for its long-term storage.
Procedures developed by CSIRO to monitor CO2 storage underground will define trigger points and contingency actions should the monitoring and verification techniques indicate that the storage site is not functioning as anticipated.

The Department of Posts, trading as India Post, is a government-operated postal system in India; it is generally referred to within India as "the post office".
As of 31 March 2011post offices, of which 1,39,040 (89.78 percent) were in rural areas and 15,826 (10.22 percent) in urban areas. It had 25,464 departmental POs and 1,29,402 ED BPOs. At the time of independence, there were 23,344 post offices, primarily in urban areas. The network has registered a sixfold growth since independence, with the expansion's focus primarily in rural areas. On average, a post office serves an area of 21.23 square kilometres (8.20 sq mi) and a population of 7,114; it is the most widely-distributed postal system in the world.[1] The large number is a result of a tradition of disparate postal systems, which were unified in the Indian Union after independence. Because of this far-flung reach and its presence in remote areas, the Indian postal service is also involved in other services (such as small-savings banking and financial services).
[update], the Indian Postal Service had 1,54,866The postal service is under the Department of Posts, which is part of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of the Government of India. The apex body of the department is the Postal Service Board, consisting of a chair and six members. The six board members govern personnel, operations, technology, postal life insurance, human-resource development (HRD) and planning. The joint secretary and financial adviser is also a permanent invitee.
India has been divided into 22 postal circles, each circle headed by a chief postmaster general. Each circle is divided into regions, headed by a postmaster general and comprising field units known as divisions (headed by SSPOs and SPOs). These divisions are further divided into subdivisions, headed by ASPs and IPSs. Other functional units (such as circle stamp depots, postal store depots and mail motor service) may exist in the circles and regions. In addition to the 22 circles, there is a base circle to provide postal services to the Armed Forces of India. The base circle is headed by a Director General, Army Postal Service (with a rank of major general).
The highest post office in the world is in Hikkim, Himachal Pradesh, India at a height of 15,500 ft (4,700 m) (postal code 172114).[2]

The English East India Company (EIC) had a presence in India since the early 17th century. As it expanded its influence, there was a need to establish and maintain official and commercial mail systems.[3] The EIC opened a post office in Bombay in 1688 under the name "Company Mail", followed by similar offices in Calcutta and Madras.[4] Although courier services connected larger towns with their regional seats of government, there was no integrated postal service operating before 1837; existing services were not generally intended for personal mail.[citation needed]
Lord Clive established a postal plan (known as Jamidara Pratha) on 24 March 1766 in West Bengal.[5] The system was reorganised and made available for public use on 31 March 1774,[3] in 1778 in Madras and 1792 in Bombay[6] when Warren Hastings was Governor-General of India.[7] The first general post office operated by the EIC opened in Calcutta at that time, and a Postmaster-General was appointed in 1781.[citation needed] The Madras and Bombay Presidencies established similar arrangements in their regional capitals in 1778 and 1792, respectively.[6][page needed] After 1793, when Cornwallis introduced the Permanent Settlement, financial responsibility for maintaining the official posts rested with the zamindars. In addition, private dawk mail systems sprang up for the commercial conveyance of messages (using hired runners).[6] The EIC posts co-existed with postal systems maintained by a number of princely states. While the latter produced stamps for in-state use, British Indian postage stamps were required for sending mail beyond their boundaries.
Stamps were issued for the first time for all British India in 1854. The lowest denomination was the ½-anna (blue), followed by the one- (red) and four-anna (blue and red). They were printed from lithographic stones at the Surveyor-General's Office in Calcutta. Since the four-anna stamps were composed of two colours, they required two different printings (one for Queen Victoria's head in blue and the other for the surrounding red frame).
The Post Office Act XVII of 1837 gave the Governor-General of India the right to carry letters by post within EIC territory. The system was available to certain officials without charge (which became a controversial privilege). The Indian Post Office was established on 1 October 1837[8] as a public postal system operated by the company's governing body. Post offices were established in major towns, and postmasters appointed. Postal services required advance payment in cash, prices varying with weight and distance.
A commission was established in 1850 by Lord Dalhousie to evaluate the Indian postal system. It submitted its recommendations in 1851, resulting in the 1837 act being superseded by the Post Office Act of 1854. Postage stamps were introduced at this time and postal rates fixed by weight, no longer dependent on distance. The new provisions created a monopoly, whereby the Indian Post Office was charged with carrying mail throughout British India. Despite this, some princely states operated their own systems. Those known as Convention States (of which the first was Patiala in 1884) had agreements with the Post Office of India to provide service within their territories with overprinted stamps issued by the Post Office. Other princely states (known as Feudatory States) provided their own services and issued their own stamps (valid only within their own states).
The post of Director-General of Post Offices of India was created to oversee operations, with H.P.A.B. Riddle the first appointee. The duties of the postmaster-general were separate from those of a presidency postmaster: while the former administered the postal system of the larger provinces (such as the Bombay Presidency or the North-Western Provinces), the latter attended to the smaller provinces (such as Ajmer-Merwara and major political offices such as Rajputana). The 1854 Act provided for uniform rates, routes and postmark-design specifications for each post-office category.
Before the advent of electric telegraphy, the word "telegraph" was used for semaphore signalling. During the 1820s the East India Company government in India considered constructing signalling towers ("telegraph" towers), each 100 feet (30 m) high and 8 miles (13 km) apart, from Calcutta to Bombay. These towers were built in Bengal and Bihar, but an India-wide semaphore network never existed. By mid-century, electric telegraphy was viable and hand-signalling obsolete.
The first Telegraph Act for India was the British Parliament's Act XXXIV of 1854. When a public telegram service was begun in 1855, the charge was fixed at one rupee for each sixteen words (including the address) for every 400 miles of transmission. Charges were doubled for telegrams sent between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.; these rates would remain fixed until 1882. In 1860–61 (two years after the end of Company rule), India had 11,093 miles (17,852 km) miles of telegraph lines and 145 telegraph offices. Telegrams totalling Rs. 5 lakh in value were sent by the public, expenses of the Indian Telegraph Department were Rs. 14 lakh and the capital expenditure until the end of the year totalled Rs. 65 lakh.
The British Raj was instituted in 1858, when the rule of the East India Company was transferred to the Crown.[9] By 1861, there were 889 post offices handling nearly 43 million letters and over 4.5 million newspapers annually. The first superintendent of the post office was appointed in 1870 and based in Allahabad.[citation needed] In 1876, British India became the first non-founding member of the General Postal Union.[citation needed]
A number of acts were passed during the British Raj to expand and regulate Posts and Telegraphs service:
The world's first official airmail flight took place in India on 18 February 1911, a journey of 18 kilometres (11 mi) lasting 27 minutes. Henri Pequet, a French pilot, carried about 15 kilograms (33 lb) of mail (approximately 6,000 letters and cards) across the Ganges from Allahabad to Naini; included in the airmail was a letter to King George V of the United Kingdom.[10] India Post inaugurated a floating post office in August 2011 at Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir.[11]
Telegraphy and telephony made their appearance as part of the postal service before becoming separate departments. The Posts and Telegraphs Departments merged in 1914, dividing on 1 January 1985.
Since Indian independence in 1947 the postal service continues to function on a nationwide basis, providing a variety of services. The structure of the organisation has the Directorate at its apex; below it are Circle Offices, Regional Offices, the Superintendent's Office of Post Offices, Head Post offices, Sub-Post Offices and Branch Post Offices.[citation needed] In April 1959, the Indian Postal Department adopted the motto "Service before Self"; it revised its logo in September 2008.[12][page needed]
The first adhesive postage stamps in Asia were issued in the Indian district of Scinde in July 1852 by Bartle Frere, chief commissioner of the region.[13] Frere was an admirer of Rowland Hill, the English postal reformer who had introduced the Penny Post. The Scinde stamps became known as "Scinde Dawks"; "Dawk" is the Anglicised spelling of the Hindustani word Dak or ("post"). These stamps, with a value of 1⁄2-anna, were in use until June 1866. The first all-India stamps were issued on 1 October 1854.
The volume of mail moved by the postal system increased significantly, doubling between 1854 and 1866 and doubling again by 1871. The Post Office Act XIV introduced reforms by 1 May 1866 to correct some of the more obvious postal-system deficiencies and abuses. Postal-service efficiencies were also introduced. In 1863, lower rates were set for "steamer" mail to Europe at (six annas, eight pies for a 1⁄2-ounce letter. Lower rates were also introduced for inland mail.
New regulations removed special postal privileges enjoyed by officials of the East India Company. Stamps for official use were prepared and carefully accounted for, to combat abuses by officials. In 1854 Spain had printed special stamps for official communications, but in 1866 India was the first country to adopt the expedient of overprinting "Service" on postage stamps and "Service Postage" on revenue stamps. This innovation was later widely adopted by other countries.[14]
Shortages developed, so stamps also had to be improvised. Some "Service Postage" overprinted rarities resulted from abrupt changes in postal regulations. New designs for the four-anna and six-anna-eight-pie stamps were issued in 1866. Nevertheless, there was a shortage of stamps to meet the new rates. Provisional[15] six-anna stamps were improvised by cutting the top and bottom from a current foreign-bill revenue stamp and overprinting "Postage".
India was the first country in the Commonwealth to issue airmail stamps.
India attained independence on 15 August 1947. Thereafter, the Indian Posts and Telegraph Department embarked on a broad-based policy for the issuance of stamps. The first new stamp was issued by independent India on 21 November 1947. It depicts the Indian flag with the patriots' slogan, Jai Hind ("long live India"), at the top right-hand corner. The stamp was valued at three and one-half annas.
A memorial to Mahatma Gandhi was issued 15 August 1948 on the first anniversary of independence. One year later a definitive series appeared, depicting India's broad cultural heritage (primarily Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Sikh and Jain temples, sculptures, monuments and fortresses). A subsequent issue commemorated the beginning of the Republic of India on 26 January 1950.
Definitives included a technology-and-development theme in 1955, a series depicting a map of India in 1957 (denominated in naya paisa—decimal currency) and a 1965 series with a wide variety of images. The old inscription "India Postage" was replaced in 1962 with "भारत INDIA", although three stamps (issued from December 1962 to January 1963) carried the earlier inscription.[16]
India has printed stamps and postal stationery for other countries, mostly neighbours. Countries which have had stamps printed in India include Burma (before independence), Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Portugal and Ethiopia.[17] The country has issued definitive and commemorative stamps. Six definitive series on India's heritage and progress in a number of fields have been issued. The seventh series, with a theme of science and technology, began in 1986. Between independence and 1983, 770 stamps were issued.
The first philatelic Society in India was founded in Bombay on 6 March 1897 to service postage-stamp collections.
Philatelic bureaus were established in head post offices located at circle headquarters and at district-capital head post offices (as necessary). There are 68 philately bureaus and 1111 philatelic counters, including all head post offices (Mukhya Dak Ghars) in the country as of 31 March 2011.[18]:44
A domestic philatelic deposit-account system was introduced on 1 August 1965 at all philatelic bureaus. Customers are given priority in purchasing commemorative or special-issue stamps, first-day covers and information sheets soon after their issue by opening a deposit account at any philatelic bureau. The number of philately deposit-accountholders grew from 23,905 in 1999–2000 to 168,282 in 2006–2007 and 183,202 in 2008–2009. Four philatelic Bureaus—the Bombay, Madras, Calcutta and Parliament Street, New Delhi GPOs are authorised to sell United Nations stamps. A quarterly philatelic magazine, Philapost, was launched in 2008.
The Department of Post has also developed software for philatelic inventory management, known as "Philsim". It is used for all activities relating to philately, including forecasting, indenting, invoicing, monitoring supply and demand and recording sales and revenue for commemorative stamps and other philatelic products at philately bureaus and counters (and definitive stamps and stationery at circle stamp depots and head post offices.
The National Philatelic Museum of India was inaugurated on 6 July 1968 in New Delhi. It had its beginnings at a meeting of the Philatelic Advisory Committee on 18 September 1962. Besides a large collection of India Postage stamps designed, printed and issued, it has a large collection of Indian states (confederate and feudatory), early essays, proofs and colour trials, a collection of Indian stamps used abroad, early Indian postcards, postal stationery and thematic collections. The museum was renovated in 2009 with more exhibits, a philatelic bureau and postal objects (such as Victorian post boxes). The Department of Posts inaugurated the National Philatelic Museum on 11 July 2011. It exhibits rare postage stamps from around the world and provides a venue for philatelists to exhibit their collections.
Due to the popularity of postal life insurance, it was offered to other departments of the central and state governments. Postal life insurance is available to employees of all central- and state-government departments, nationalised banks, public-sector and financial institutions, local municipalities, district councils and educational institutions receiving government subsidy. It was extended to all rural residents on 24 March 1995.
Project Arrow was launched in April 2008.[12] The project plans to upgrade post offices in urban and rural areas, improving service and appearance. The project aims to create an effective, friendly environment for staff and customers, providing secure IT services and improving mail delivery, remittances (electronic and manual) and postal-savings plans. Core areas for improvement are branding, information technology, human resources and infrastructure. The project to improve service has been implemented in more than 15,500 post offices, and cosmetic improvements have been made in 1,530.[citation needed] The Department of Posts received the Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Public Administration during 2008–09 for "Project Arrow – Transforming India Post" on 21 April 2010.[19]
The government has approved an IT modernisation project in the Department of Posts for the computerisation of all post and mail offices, administrative and other offices, establishment of IT infrastructure and software development. The project includes supplying rural ICT hardware and peripherals to branch post offices in rural areas, developing of scalable, integrated and modular software covering all postal operations and establishing an IT infrastructure (including data centers and Wide Area Network (WAN)-based networking.
Multipurpose counter machines with computers were introduced in post offices in 1991 to:
25,000 departmental post offices (out of 25,464) have been computerised from 2006–2007 to 2011–2012. A plan (costing Rs.1877.2 crore) has been formulated to computerise rural post offices.[20][dead link]
The post office offers a number of savings plans, including National Savings Certificates,[21] the Public Provident Fund,[22] savings-bank accounts,[21] monthly-income plans,[21] senior-citizens' savings plans[22] and time-deposit accounts.[22]
Policies for government employees include:[23]
For the general public:
The post office has traditionally served as a financial institution for millions of people in rural India. Other services include:
A collaboration between the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOS&PI) and the Department of Posts has enabled the computation of consumer-price indices for rural areas. These statistics were previously unobtainable, due to problems of remoteness and scale. The agreement authorises the postal service to collect data on prices paid for selected consumer goods; in February 2011, MOS&PI published its first Rural Consumer Price Index and All-India Consumer Price Index. The information has since been published monthly, based on data from 1,181 villages across the country.[1]
The Postal Index Number (PIN, or PIN code) is a six-digit code of post-office numbering introduced on 15 August 1972. There are nine PIN regions in the country; the first eight are geographical regions, and the ninth is reserved for the Army Postal Service. The first digit indicates the regions; the first two digits indicate the sub-region (or postal circle); the first three digits indicate a sorting district, and the last three digits indicate the delivery post office. Use of PIN codes improves mail service.[24] The PIN for an address may be found on the Postal Service website.[25]
India Post was embroiled in controversy when a Right to Information query by Satendra Singh revealed that a majority of post offices in India's capital city are inaccessible to persons with disabilities.[26][27][28]

ARCHIVE: Food Strategy
Food 2030, the Government's new food strategy, is the first of its kind in over 50 years. In it we set out our vision of what we want the food system to look like in 2030, and how we can get there.
January 2010: Hilary Benn launches Food 2030. Government has published a number of documents:
- Food 2030 strategy (PDF 2.9 MB)
- Food 2030 summary (PDF 1.9 MB)
- Indicators for a sustainable food system
- The 2007/08 agriculture price spikes
- UK Cross-Government Food Research and Innovation Strategy (PDF link to BIS website)
What we want by 2030
Consumers are informed, can choose, and afford, healthy, sustainable food. This demand is met by profitable, competitive, highly skilled and resilient farming, fishing and food businesses, supported by first class research and development.
Food is produced, processed and distributed to feed a growing global population in ways which:
- use global natural resources sustainably,
- enable the continuing provision of the benefits and services that a healthy natural environment provides,
- promote high standards of animal health and welfare,
- protect food safety,
- make a significant contribution to rural communities, and
- allow us to show global leadership on food sustainability.
Our food security is ensured through strong British agriculture and international trade links with EU and global partners, which support developing economies.
Defra and DFID are collaborating closely on the international food agenda and have published a joint document setting out the current situation and our actions going forward. This work will contribute to the sustainability and security of our own food system here in the UK, and support the delivery of Food 2030. Further information on international drivers of sustainable and secure food.
The UK has a low carbon food system which is efficient with resources – any waste is reused, recycled or used for energy generation.
Delivering Food 2030
Since the launch of Food 2030, we have been discussing the strategy at regional, national, European and international levels.
Now that the strategic direction for food policy is set out, a high-level delivery plan is being developed which will, in the first instance, set out milestones for the next five years to 2015. We will present this plan to stakeholders later in the Spring.
As part of this, we are drawing on all the existing work that government and stakeholders are doing in this area. We are working with stakeholders and partners to identify gaps and barriers to achievement, seeking their views and input to the delivery plan. We need to work in partnership to achieve the vision for Food 2030 so are working with stakeholders to identify their roles in helping to achieve those goals.
Engagement on Food 2030
At the regional level: this includes a series of workshops with regional stakeholders to help understand what the delivery of Food 2030 looks like and identifying opportunities and barriers to progress in each particular region. A report will be published on EFFP's website in due course.
At the national level: this includes responding to requests from a number of organisations to speak about Food 2030 and how it relates to different parts of the food industry.
At the EU and international level: a wide range of UK attaches have been briefed and Ministers have been talking to their counterparts in other countries about Food 2030.
Food 2030 consultation
In August 2009, we published an online consultation document and invited views from stakeholders and the public on the issues surrounding our food system. We have also had meetings with stakeholders from all parts of the food chain over the past year, which have helped us to formulate the Food 2030 strategy.

I'm a big fan of Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars and was able to see them play live a handful of times when I lived in Boulder. I recently came across a song they did with Chadwick Stokes called Coffee and Wine and I can't get it out of my head.
Here's the song:
A little background about the Refugee All Stars (source):
Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars have risen like a phoenix out of the ashes of war and inflamed the passions of fans across the globe with their uplifting songs of hope, faith and joy. The band is a potent example of the redeeming power of music and the ability of the human spirit to persevere through unimaginable hardship and emerge with optimism intact. From their humble beginnings in West African refugee camps Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars have performed on some of the world's most prestigious stages and matured into one of Africa's top touring and recording bands.
Throughout the 1990s, the West African country of Sierra Leone was wracked with a bloody, horrifying war that forced millions to flee their homes. The musicians that would eventually form Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars are all originally from Freetown, and they were forced to leave the capital city at various times after violent rebel attacks. Most of those that left the country made their way into neighboring Guinea, some ending up in refugee camps and others struggling to fend for themselves in the capital city of Conakry.
Ruben Koroma and his wife Grace had left Sierra Leone in 1997 and found themselves in the Kalia refugee camp near the border with Sierra Leone. When it became clear they would not be heading back to their homeland anytime soon, they joined up with guitarist Francis John Langba (aka Franco), and bassist Idrissa Bangura (aka Mallam), other musicians in the camp whom they had known before the war, to entertain their fellow refugees. After a Canadian relief agency donated two beat up electric guitars, a single microphone and a meager sound system, Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars were born. [Read more…]
Here's a clip from the 2005 documentary on the All Stars:

Arithrazine is a radiation inoculant used by Starfleet in the 24th century. It was used to treat theta radiation exposure.
Overdoses of arithrazine cause rapid neural depolarization which results in death. In the year 2376, Shathrissia zh'Cheen commited suicide by arithrazine overdose. (DS9 - Mission Gamma novel: Cathedral)
After Europa Nova was subjected to high amounts of theta radiation, Julian Bashir began to replicate arithrazine to treat people who had been affected by the radiation. (DS9 - Gateways novel: Demons of Air and Darkness)
