Africa's threatened species: Gorillas under guard
News that two endangered gorillas had been killed and eaten by Congolese rebel soldiers shocked the world - not just because of the environmental implications but because of the unique relationship we have with the great apes. Terry Kirby reports
Friday 26 January 2007
"There is more meaning and mutual understanding in exchanging a glance with a gorilla than any other animal I know," whispered David Attenborough during his memorable encounter with the mountain gorillas of central Africa during filming for the groundbreaking BBC Life on Earth series in 1978.
That short scene of a family group of gorillas - playing, resting, feeding and reflecting ourselves back through the camera lens - cemented our affection for a creature with which mankind shares around 98 per cent of our DNA. They are, as Attenborough suggested so effectively, our cousins in the wild.
And it is that unique relationship which underpinned the horror felt by many last week when it was revealed that one and possibly two of the remaining 700 mountain gorillas, confined to a small area bordering three central African countries, had been killed and probably eaten by Congolese rebel soldiers. And these were not just some anonymous wild creatures: they had names, ages, personalities and were adult male members of one of the most closely observed and documented communities of the animal kingdom. This was akin to cannibalism.
Now, following the intervention of two wildlife conservation groups, it has been announced that the rebels have agreed to stop the killing of primates. For the time being, at least, the conservation groups hope their future is secure. "We are fairly optimistic that the agreement will hold. But at the moment, we do not know how many other gorillas might have died," said Emmanuel de Merode, the Congo director of Wildlife Direct, one of the organisations involved.
The killings illustrate the precarious position of the population of mountain gorillas - a community that has, remarkably, managed to thrive despite living in an area that is plagued by war, famine, disease and genocide.
So, what are mountain gorillas? And why are we so concerned about the loss of only two of these animals, in an area that has seen the deaths of millions of people? Mr de Merode believes that they are as important as any human beings. "The mountain gorillas are extremely vulnerable and the death of only a handful could have a significant impact on the population as a whole," he said.
David Jay, who works for the United Nations-backed Great Apes Survival Project and the Born Free Foundation, puts the argument another way: "Compared to the millions of humans, these are the last remaining creatures of this type on the planet. They don't live anywhere else. The death of even one adult male can affect the vitality of the entire population."
Gorillas, the largest of the great apes, only live in central Africa, mostly in and around the Congo basin. There are two species - eastern and western gorillas - each divided into two further sub-species. The mountain gorilla, a sub-species of the eastern gorilla, is now only found in two highland areas.
One is on the borders of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, in what is generally known as the Virunga area, which is home to around 380 gorillas. The second, to the north, is the Bwindi National Park in the Ugandan highlands, where a further 320 mountain gorillas live. Both sites are relatively small by African standards.
All gorillas face three serious threats: poaching for bushmeat, the Ebola virus and the erosion of their habitats. Mountain gorillas, mainly distinguished from their lowland compatriots by their longer hair, which protects against the cold, are not the most endangered gorilla sub-species. That distinction belongs to the Cross River gorilla, with just 280 or so individuals left. But both are among the world's most threatened primates.
Like all gorillas, they live mostly in family groups of between five and 30, overseen by dominant adult males called silverbacks, after the silver hair on their backs. Younger males leave the group when they are about 11 years old to begin groups of their own. They can live to between 30 and 50 years old, and their diet is mostly vegetarian, with a few insects thrown in.
We know so much about the mountain gorillas mainly because of the work of such pioneers as Dian Fossey, the American animal behaviourist who along with Jane Goodall, the chimpanzee expert, went to Africa in the late 1960s to work for archaeologist Dr Louis Leakey, who believed that primate behaviour held the key to human evolution. Both were known as "Leakey's Angels". Fossey began work on the mountain gorillas in the Virunga, created in 1925 as Africa's first national park and now a UN World Heritage Site.
When, more than a decade later, Attenborough arrived in the area on the Rwandan side to film for Life on Earth, he was wary that the famously fierce and protective Fossey might not let him have access to "her gorillas", as she called them. She did, eventually, let the crew in, giving them strict instructions on how to approach the animals: keep low and grunt a lot. Attenborough's famous sequence with the gorillas, shot with a young gorilla lounging on his chest and a baby taking off his shoe, became rightly celebrated. But it was the film of Fossey's life, based on her autobiography Gorillas in the Mist, starring Sigourney Weaver, that brought her work and her gorillas to a global audience. Fossey's murder, in 1985, which has never been completely explained and has been attributed to both the poachers she waged war against and those who felt she had become an obstacle to the tourism industry that she herself had done much to bring about.
Fossey's work ensured that, throughout the years of the Rwandan civil war and genocide in the mid-1990s, the Virunga gorillas would become closely monitored by conservationists and the local national park rangers - so much so that David Attenborough was able to discover recently that Pablo, the youngster who was filmed with him, was now a 200kg silverback and group leader.
The legacy of that earlier era continues through such people as Ian Redmond, once Fossey's assistant and now chief consultant to the Great Apes Survival Project, who helped to re-install some of the national park staff when peace returned to Rwanda. Dr Leakey's son, Richard Leakey, also became a renowned archaeologist - for his discoveries of fossils in Ethiopia - and conservationist, for his campaign against elephant poaching.
The gorillas have become famous and gorilla-related tourism, which has sporadically continued amid the conflicts, has become a huge earner in countries otherwise stricken by poverty.
But tourism, and the close monitoring by national park rangers, is a double-edged sword because it also means that the animals become accustomed to - and therefore more trusting of - human beings, which can be their downfall. Nevertheless, Mr Jay believes both are crucial: "Tourism is a major source of income for a deprived area. So ensuring the survival of the gorillas is an investment for the future of the local people."
And so the story comes full circle as Leakey, who has had a career as both a wildlife expert and politician/administrator in east Africa, now runs the Africa Conservation Fund and Wildlife Direct, whose intervention in the latest deaths led to the current agreement with the rebels. That took place on the DRC side of the Virunga, where, despite ceasefire agreements, areas are still controlled by rebel fighters loyal to renegade Congolese army general Laurent Nkunda.
The DRC itself was devastated by civil war and famine between 1998 and 2003, in which more than 4 million people died. Despite the conflicts on both sides of the border, the deforestation of their habits for fuel and farming, the number of gorillas has risen by 14 per cent since the war began.
Last week, the national park rangers learned that one solitary male gorilla, later identified as Karema, who was 18 years old, had been killed and butchered, his remains, principally his head, dumped in a pit latrine. On the Wildlife Direct website, there was a short and poignant obituary for Karema, written by one of the senior rangers, Paulin Ngobobo, and typical of the close, familial regard these men have for the gorillas. Entitled "Farewell To A Friend", it said: "Karema was born in 1989 to Mukechuru and Rugendo, a large silverback. His mother, Mukechuru, died of old age in 1991, when Karema was still very dependant on her care. His father looked after him thereafter. The word Karema means 'handicapped'. He lost his left hand, most likely to a snare. Men plagued his existence to the end, and yet he was known for his exceptionally calm personality. The first recorded contact with Karema was by the biologist Conrad Aveling, who noted his friendly disposition. He was a calming influence on the gorilla group, which was frequently visited by tourists in those days. He disappeared from his family in February 2002, reappearing as a young blackback a few months later, living a life of solitude. He died at the hands of a species he trusted completely, aged 18." Another solitary male, whose details have not been released was also believed to have been killed.
After worldwide publicity about the deaths was generated by Wildlife Direct and the Frankfurt Zoological Society, which works with the charity in the area, the rebel movement even went so far as to issue a press release denying any involvement. UN peacekeeping troops in the area then set up a meeting on Tuesday between Ngobobo, a representative of the society and both sides in the military conflict. The result was an agreement by the local rebel commander, known as Colonel Makenga, to allow the rangers into the area in order to check on the welfare of the gorillas and, on the part of the rebels, to refrain from killing more gorillas. The rangers hope to return next week.
Paulin Ngobobo said afterwards: "This is a very positive result. We weren't expecting to succeed given the overwhelming odds against. However, this is just another small step. We must keep up international pressure to ensure this doesn't happen again next week, next month or next year."
Why all this is so important to us is perhaps best explained by Redmond, who has known the mountain gorillas since he first started working with Dian Fossey in the 1970s. He said yesterday: "When you catch the eye of a gorilla, you realise that there is someone - as distinct to something - in there. If human beings are defined by a sense of self-awareness, then without a doubt that is something the great apes share with us. When you see a gorilla, it is a gorilla being. And you realise that humans are not the only self-conscious and aware creatures on the planet."

We show how product decompositions of measures can detect directionality in sets.

|Which Powers Of A Holomorphic Function Are Integrable?
Let f = f(z1, . . . , zn) be a holomorphic function defined on an open subset P ∈ U ⊂ Cn. The log canonical threshold of f at P is the largest s ∈ R such that |f|s is locally integrable at P. This invariant gives a sophisticated measure of the singularities of the set defined by the zero locus of f which is of importance in a variety of contexts (such as the minimal model program and the existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics in the negatively curved case). In this talk we will discuss recent results on the remarkable structure enjoyed by these invariants.

|Randomization and long time dynamics in nonlinear evolution PDE
In the last two decades, there has been substantial progress in the study of nonlinear dispersive PDE thanks to the influx of ideas and tools from nonlinear Fourier and harmonic analysis, geometry and analytic number theory, to the existing functional analytic methods. This body of work has primarily focused on deterministic aspects of wave phenomena and answered important questions related to existence and long time behavior of solutions in various regimes. Yet there remain important obstacles and open questions.
A natural approach to tackle some of them, and one which has recently seen a growing interest, is to consider certain evolution equations from a non-deterministic point of view (e.g. the random data Cauchy problem, invariant measures, etc) and incorporate to the deterministic toolbox, powerful but still classical tools from probability as well. Such approach goes back to seminal work by Bourgain in the mid 90's where global well-posedness of certain periodic Hamiltonian PDEs was studied in the almost sure sense via the existence and invariance of their associated Gibbs measures.
In this talk we will explain these ideas, describe some recent work and future directions. with an emphasis on the interplay of deterministic and probabilistic approaches.

|Non-asymptotic approach in random matrix theory
Random matrix theory studies the asymptotics of the spectral distributions of families of random matrices, as the sizes of the matrices tend to infinity. Derivation such asymptotics frequently requires analyzing the spectral properties of random matrices of a large fixed size, especially of their singular values.

Hi: 9° Lo:2°
By Jamie Arrowsmith Thursday 29 November 2012 Updated: 06/12 16:49
DROITWICH Spa will bid to quickly put Saturday's heavy defeat against Bromsgrove Sporting Reserves behind them when they travel to Coton Green in Midland Combination Division One tomorrow.
Tom Goss' side suffered a humbling 8-1 defeat at the Victoria Ground in the Worcestershire Junior Cup and will hope to see a dramatic upturn in their fortunes when travelling to face their fellow strugglers tomorrow.
Spa, for whom Matt Colley netted the consolation on Saturday, currently sit two places off the bottom of the table with Coton Green one place below them but level on points.
"The time for talking about what we have or haven't done and what we need to do better has got to stop," Goss said.
"We have to start producing on the pitch, it is as simple as that.
"Results are hard for everybody concerned with the club at the moment but we have a duty to the people who come and watch us and to the people who travel everywhere with us and help out, to put things right.
"It is up to us to do something about it and that needs to start on Saturday.
"We did fine for 35 minutes on Saturday but then concede twice before half time to go 4-1 down and just fell apart in the second half.
"But talking about it isn't going to change anything, performances on the pitch are the only things that are going to do that.
"Our Reserves play Sporting Reserves on Saturday and will probably give them a better game than we did."
FAIRFIELD Villa were left kicking their heels on Saturday when their Worcestershire Junior Cup trip to Inkberrow was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
The two sides will try again tomorrow with the match scheduled to kick-off at 1.30pm.

Day 3 - Getting to the nature
... huh? Yet, the meal was great, especially for the beef pot and the spicy chicken they served. They even helped us arrange a cab for returning to the hotel. So here come's another surprise! As it was the day of Christmas Eve, the hotel organized gift exchanges and bingo game for all of us! I won a stationary pack and a cutlery set :P The atmosphere was just right to cover up the frustration we had about the driver's performance today. The day was great after all :)
Day 2 - What a day -v-
This day started very early, at 3:30am. I don't even remember myself sleeping the night before... We dressed up with as many clothes as we bought here, just to get ourselves ready for the sunrise trip that we are having in a minute, on over 3700m height. The coach took us to the highest 7-11 in Taiwan (don't know what's the point of it), so I grabbed a hot drink just to make sure I'm not getting frozen before seeing the amazing sunrise. Then they took us to gather with tourists ...
Day 1 - Arrival
It was our first day arriving at Taichung, which was more or less the remaining bit in Taiwan that I haven't been to... Weather was nice, breeze, wind to be accurate lol, shedding on our faces. It wasn't too chilly with the sun shining. We met our driver - Mr. Hui, who seemed nice and experienced. He took us to Gao Mei wetland -- yet it was closed for maintenance or due the strong wind perhaps? Numerous windmills stood right in front ...
Riding into the mountains
rented a scooter for the 100km trip into the mountains to climb taiwan's highest peak, Yushan.
stopped for a 5km sidetrip to Fenihu...walk around, eat railway lunch box.
move on to Yushan, get my police permit organized, eat and get to sleep.
got up early, had a bite to eat and was over to my other hostel early. arrived and they invited me for a huge breakfast that they cooked for the wedding goers. after eating, visited the railway garage, prison tour, ate slushie, fish soup and turkey rice.

Walkthrough - Strategy Guide/Walkthrough
Strategy Guide and Walkthrough for "The Legend of Alon D'ar" Author's Note: This is my first attempt at a strategy guide/walkthrough so forgive my awkwardness. Hope this helps someone out there. Please contact me with any corrections, additions, incites, or comments at email@example.com. The Legend of Alon D'ar was on my wish list for Christmas but I only got it the last of March and already I've completed the game twice. I just love it. The only frustrating thing was the lack of a guide. I was told that one wasn't made at a retail store. Well, I'm not sure about that but I know I can't find one or much info on the net. So, here we go! The Legend of Alon D'ar Walkthrough Note: At the very end of this walkthrough is listings of weapon use, enemies, races and places, and FYIs. I placed them at the end so they wouldn't spoil anything unless you wanted them to. First, the game starts with a cinema. I will not give away any story part on purpose in this guide. After that is finished, Jarik is left standing in the middle of a small village called Hollow Grange. You take control here. To find you what your quests are press the "square" button and scroll using L1 or R1 to quest page. When you can't remember what you need to do go to this page. The top quest is the primary quest and is designated by a small square. The rest are quests that have been reduced in precedence by a greater or more pressing need, or quests that play a supportive role and are optional to complete. Go to Quest Log and you will see two quests listed: Train and equip before leaving and Stop Lord Grandar's Attack on the Dagani. To leave menu press the "triangle" button. Orin Orin is the land in which Hollow Grange and Pilgrim's Hatch are villages. The first area to explore is Hollow Grange. Abbreviations: Hollow Grange = HG Battle and Search = BS Quest Items = QI Proficiency Points = PP Whitewater Gorge = WG Pilgrim's Hatch = PH Drommar's Door = DD Lord Kort's Lands = LKL Wither Potions = WP Wither Bane = WB Spike Potions =SP Hollow Grange PP = 80 Gold = 72 Collectibles = 5 Drinking Horns QI's Items Equipment Small Iron Key 9 WP Katar Ring of Passage 3 SP Steel Buckler Lump Hammer Note: Received 3 WP from search Cobalt Crystal 5 WP in exchange for WB Small Silver Key 1WP from training area Bucket of Water 3 SP from training area Note: QI's disappear after they are useless or used. 1. Talk to all the folks at HG. In village circle: Nefreet (wise in the Wyrd) tells you to go to treasury room. Arleen (handles potions) tells you to seek a book in Keep. Lepjon asks you to tell Skojin in LKL of her concern. Tareena tells of Deryn awaiting her in the hermit's cave. Riley asks you to find his family heirlooms. Gillaram is by the sheep's pen and he tells you about gathering WB by small rocks. 2. Then Jarik trains. Go to the training area and Daelus will tell you about weapons, spells, and other items. Here, he will conduct your training. Follow each step of tutorial. For the first exercise, I preferred the Orin Katar. For the second exercise I used the Stone Orb spell Sunder to stall the Skurlings while I used SPs but the Sound Orb spell Sonic Blast I used for most damage. On the third exercise, I again used the Orin Katar and Sonic Blast. The weapons and Orbs are returned to Daelus but you get to keep unused potions. 3. Search for the drinking horns. The Save is a starting point for each. 1. Go W toward training area, turn right along fence and it's in corner behind rock. 2. Go NW between two large rocks. 3. Go S and it's in the stone wall corner, which is right of the Keep. 4. Go SW and it will be beside the hut (Nefreet's) which stands alone on the left side. 5. Go E and look for hidden alcove. Jarik get 30 PP when he recovers all five. 4. Return the Drinking Horns to Riley and he gives you 30 Gold. 5. Go S to Keep. The first room has a locked box you can't open yet, so continue on. Head down hall and talk to Haldar. He hints about the unlit torches when asked about the treasury room. Go right to next room and face the unlit torches. The right one (Press X) slides the bookcase to the side and gives you 5 PP, 2 Gold and a QI Small Iron Key. The left one gives the QI Ring of Passage and 5 PP. Check out the book case and you will discover a book about local geography and it's inhabitants. You can enter the treasury room now. Jarik will walk back to the crystal but need something to break it off. Go right from the crystal and find QI Lump Hammer on weapons rack. Walk back to crystal and use hammer to obtain QI Cobalt Crystal. On left side of room there is another locked box. DO NOT BREAK IT OPEN! Go back out to first room to that locked box and automatically use QI to open it. You get another QI, a small silver key, and a WP. Go back to the crystal room and use the QI on the locked box to get 5 PP, 20 Gold, WP, and Katar. On your way out of the Keep speak to Haldar next to exit and he will give advice on where to get info about the crystal. 6. Now, check out HG for WB. This is critical at this point, but later I won't give locations. Then take them to Arleen for trade on WP. * Just outside Keep * Behind Arleen * NW of Save * Behind sheep pen on right * NE next to rock wall...and remember it's beside small rocks. 7. Now, check out Jarik's burning hut and you'll find you need to put out the flames. Go to well to get QI Bucket of Water and 5 PP. Go back to hut and use water and open chest to get 30 PP, 20 Gold, WP, and steel buckler. At this point Katar and buckler has automatically been equipped. 8. Now, SAVE. Now you can leave and Melzon, on bridge, won't stop you. Path out of Hollow Grange and Lord Kort's Land Items Collectibles Bonus PP Magic Equipment 8 WB 30 Silver Acorns 1800 Stone Orb Shortstaff Page 1, Chapter 1 Leather Jerkin Rusty Sword ?

Bonus PP when you recover Acorn 10, Acorn 20, and Acorn 30. Stone Orb in hermit's cave in box on table. Shortstaff given to you by Loran Leather jerkin given to you by Deryn. Rusty Sword is a possible battle spoil in LKL. You may also get a Pronged Katar. QI Lord Kort Tolken is gained after quest requested by Lord Kort is fulfilled. People to talk to; * Minri on path out of HG gives the collectibles quest. * Pia on path out of HG explains Earth spells and suggests that Jingu in PH might help you. * Laran just beyond Pia gives advice and a shortstaff. * Deryn near bridge in clearing gives a request and sells some weapons. He gives Leather Jerkin when request is done. * Tareena with Deryn when you exit hermit's cave...inhibited. * Falfar on pass to LKL gives info on Lord Grandar. * Skojin on mountain pass, makes request about deed rising and brother. * BlueEye at Lord Kort's Portal explains about the portals. * Lord Kort in PH Keep gives you a quest and a QI when you finish quest. * Tabir at DD gate is Skojin's brother. * Karolec in PH makes Jarik an offer he has to refuse. * Carlynne in PH asks a request. * Jinge in PH sells Earth Orbs and Wearables. * Melyia in PH trades and sells potions. * Sundeep in LKL is helped by Jarik in battle. Walkthrough: Leave HG. Talk to everyone. 1. Walk down path. Minri will give you task on recovering 30 Silver Acorns. 2. Continue walking, talking, and searching for acorns. 3. Enter clearing and take on one Skurlling at a time. You can do it! Have potions equipped on belt. Move WB to inventory so you won't use them by accident. OOOPs! Keep eye on PP available and ASAP level up Dagger Speed level. Katar is a dagger. This will help greatly in battle. When in battle keep an eye on gauges...green for health and blue for magic. Don't let health get to low before healing because this takes time. However, try to heal between battles. When WPs run low go back to PH and swap WB for WP with Arleen. Jarik will stop and say he has no reason to go into HG but you still can go. As Jarik gains PP, not only does it give you the ability to level up skills, but it automatically levels up Jarik. Each time a character levels up his/her gauges fill and increase in size. Sorry, I get carried away and talk too much. 4. Talk to Deryn, get a new quest, and buy a weapon (I don't recommend it although I did sell the staff). Note: When a quest is completed it is moved to the finished log. Note: Player feel free to level up, buy and sell at will, and use orb or weapon of choice. I am just giving my preferences. 5. Cross bridge and circle around to the left. BS. Locate M'Ton cave for future reference. 6. Go to Save. I would recommend not going into interior at this time. Don't waste WPs you might need in the cave because the skurllings attack in packs. 7. Go down path to cave. BS 8. Enter cave. BE READY FOR ATTACK! Make sure belt is equipped. 9. Check out barrels, ramp, Majestic Oak, elevator you can't use yet, transportation node you can't use yet, the upper level of the cave you can't access, and the box on the table. Search for acorns. 10. Exit cave and talk to Deryn. 11. Go Save. 12. Go into interior. BS. Locate Majestic Oak. 13. Cross bridge and turn right. BS 14. Go up slope and talk to Falfar. Continue to search for acorns. 15. Continue through mountain pass. Talk and search. 16. Enter LKL. I use Katar on skurllings and Sunder on the undead. Keep eye on available PP and level up as soon as possible. Note: When using Sunder on undead, move around so they are less likely to hurt you. DON'T JUST STAND THERE! 17. Journey down the left side of path. BS 18. Locate shining green Portal. Buy skills, heal and save here. Note: I bought skills for sword and upgraded them. You will probably obtain a rusty sword if you haven't already. Sword skills will come in very handy later. This is just a suggestion. 19. Continue down left side of path to PH. BS 20. Find PH Keep and talk to Lord Kort. Get new quest. 21. Don't do quest yet. Continue to circle around PH. BS 22. Stop at Weaponsmith. He'll fix your rusty sword and you can buy and sell weapons. I bought Heavy Katar and sold the old one. Don't forget to equip the new katar. Instead of/in addition to a Rusty Sword you may get a Pronged Katar from battle. 23. Continue back toward save on left of path and make hard turn left around knoll heading toward WG/Dagan. BS 24. BS to end of path and save. If you continue this way Grandar's men will stop you. 25. Start back down path on other side. BS 26. BS to graveyard. Go in and BS. 27. Check out large area between WG/Dagan path and graveyard path. BS 28. Check out area between graveyard path and DD gate path. BS 29. Check out area between DD gate path and HG path. BS. 30. Go to portal. Heal, buy skills, upgrade weapons/orbs, save as you desire. Note: You probably have the sword by now. Take it to the Weaponsmith if you haven't already and fix it. Equip sword. It works great on the nest/mound in PH. If you don't get the rusty sword don't sweat it. 31. Go to PH and destroy the nest/mound. 32. Talk to villagers, buy stuff, etc. 33. Return to Lord Kort and receive QI and new quest. 34. Head back to Portal and help out Sundeep. 35. Take care of any unfinished business, save and use QI to leave.

Totem 1 is next to WG launch, which can't be accessed yet. Don't use potions if you can make it back to the portal to heal and save. BS. Why collect everything? Gold.

Pass totem 8 and encounter bridge 5, which goes into Gomira. Note: That finishes the pre-Gomira part. Now would be a good time to go back to portal and buy skills, level up, etc. I'm leveling up Sword and Earth Orbs skills. Shield skills is good to level up, too.. Check out what type of shield you have, buy skill needed and level up. 10. Enter Gomira and watch cinema. Search area and talk to the Dagani. Take note of Mahir's burial totem. Totems 9 & 10 are located in Gomira. Take note of area in rear of Gomira in alcove where you can't enter now because of the guarding Dagani. Note: Tahir joins you here so you need to check out his equipment. I had previously equipped a Studded Coat on Jarik so I equipped one on Tahir. I left the Cho Pin Tou on him. This is the weapon I will concentrate on leveling up as it will come in very handy later. (This is my 3rd & 4th trip through game. First, I write the guide with 3rd game and check myself with number 4.) I sold the Dagani Bow. Don't forget to get the Large Ornate Axe from Bolahdan. Note: I never used the Ornate Axe in Game 2 so you can sell it. However, it is my second weapon of choice and worked great for me in game 1. Buy and sell supplies and weapons and a couple of magical items here if you wish. I recommend buying the Armored Bracers and the White Bracers. I also bought a Kemarran Shield for Jarik and sold the Steel Buckler. Now, before I continue out of Gomira I take the troops back to the green swamp grass area and open chest 2 and get frog 3. Tahir will stop you saying more or less you're going the wrong way, but you can still leave this way. When I get back to Gomira I sell the Barkcleaver and the Wet Staff. If you haven't done so already, sell supplies and equipment you don't need. 11. Start to exit Gomira on bridge 6. Mahir's ghost will give a new primary quest. 12. Exit Gomira on bridge 6 and BS. Tahir gives some info on abilities and identifies reptile enemies as Gretchlings. Proceed past totem 11. BS 13. Proceed past totem 12 and check out outcropping to left. BS 14. Proceed to bridge 7. BS 15. Go past totem 13. BS 16. Just after totem 14 is raft launch. BS. Speak to Ramal, get Water Orb and equip to Tahir. Ride raft. 17. Exit raft and continue down path to Save.

Leave Oracle area and go back across Oracle bridge 10, pass totem 17, and go on to bridge 11. BS. 22. Cross bridges 11 & 12. BS. 23. Proceed past totem 18 to find a ruin on right. BS. 24.

Make sure belt is equipped and the guys are healed up. Increase any skill levels you can. Amareth is beside entrance to large outcropping in this area. Defeat the Amareth and get QI. Return to Oracle. Receive new primary quest. And two other quests which will later become primaries. Heal at oracle. 28. Start back to area where you killed the Amareth and notice and talk to lost Sarojin. Pick up another quest here. 29. Continue on and pass last area searched to find totem 22. BS. 30. Go on to pass totem 23. BS. 31. Past totem 24 is the land of Palash. BS. This ends this part of the Dagan guide. The other frogs will be found on return trip when the swamp gas moves so don't sweat it now.

A Sarojin is near the Portal of La ''Shon. Do your business at the Save Portal. 10. Continue down this path. View La 'Shon on the right and notice ledge on the left. Turn left onto ledge. BS. 11. Go back to La 'Shon. Talk, trade, buy, and search for goodies. I bought a Fire Orb and equipped it on Jarik. I bought two Bronze Shields and sold the old ones. 12. Go NW from BFS up path out of La 'Shon and visit Save again. 13. Pass SSs 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, & 11 and turn left here. Here you will start the OSs. With OS1. BS. 14. Pass OSs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7. Go right here and check out tents and guard. 15. Continue past OSs 8 & 9. Talk to BrokenClaw. BS. 16. Go past OS10. BS. 17. Go on past OSs 11, 12, 13, & 14. BS. Turn right between two DTs. Save is just around corner. Just past the save on the right is the Red Amareth. Level up the Burn (Fire Orb) on Jarik. Use Burn and Tahir's Cho Pin Tou to defeat Amareth and get QI. 18. Continue down path and veer left up incline to defeat the Darkfell near tents. BS. 19. This is as far as you can go now so return back to Save and on to OS14. 20. Pass OSs 15, 16, 17, 18, & 19 around pond. BS. 21. Continue past OSs 20 & 21 and past DTs. You can't enter Darkfell Territory here either. 22. Continue on past OSs 22, 23, 24, & 25 and make hard turn left. BS. 23. Go past OSs 26 & 27 and make hard turn right. BS. 24. Go on past OSs 28, 29, & 30. Battle Darkfell to left. BS. 25. Pass OSs 31, 32, 33, 34, 35,36, & 37 to Save and sleeping Amareth. BS and Save. 26. At OS 38 veer right down path. BS. 27. Return to OS 38 and continue down path. BS. 28. Go past OSs 39, 40, 41, & 42. Heal at cauldron of BrightEye. 29. Continue past cauldron down path N of OS 42. Search area. 30. Return to OS 42 and take path opposite WhipTail's Tomb and search for items. I do not recommend engaging the Darkfell here yet because they all attack at once and overwhelm you. 31. Return to OS 42 and talk to BrightEye and enter WhipTail's Tomb. Get QI Diadem and morph. The Ethereal attacks you with Amareths. I kept Jarik in the Juggernaut state and used Tahir's Cho Pin Tou. Note: The Morph option is on the bottom of the battle menu below weapons and items. 32. Search area and Morph to obtain QI at crystal above Whiptail. The Oracle talks to you. 33. BrightEye will then give you info and translocate you back to La 'Shon Portal. 34. Go to BrambleFoot beside BFS and trade QI Diadem for QI Bronze Bell. Conduct any business you wish in La 'Shon and Save. Note: I recommend buying and equipping a Sarojin Sword to Jarik and buying and equipping on both characters Armored Bracers, Bracers of Power, and White Bracers if you haven't already. Sell old weapons and stuff you don't need. 35. Retrace steps to Dagan. Lurkers attack in packs. I used Juggernaut and the Cho Pin Tou. To save time Morph before engaging in battle. Relocate the Lost Sarojin in the ruin. 36. Cure JadeThroat, the Lost Sarojin, and obtain QI and new quest. 37. Backtrack all the way through Dagan to WG raft launch. Stop to heal at Oracle and conduct business at Gomira Portal next to WG raft launch. Remember, if you get turned around look for totem and go in the opposite way they are pointing. Gretchlings, Amareths, Lurkers and a couple of Darkfell will attack on the way back. I recommend Morphing and the Cho Pin Tou, again. I recommend replacing SP with UP and replacing WP and PNP with CP when won in battle. 38. Continue to WG raft launch. Search area. Depart Dagan.

Upgrading from Oracle 22.214.171.124 to 188.8.131.52 on Sun
How to upgrade an Oracle database from 184.108.40.206 to 184.108.40.206 on Sun 5.8? What are the complete steps?
I would recommend testing this migration several times in a non-production environment; be sure to involve the application support team members, as well as business users. Each time the migration is completed in the test environment, everyone involved should test application functionality, batch jobs, and other critical functions thoroughly.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hello Everyone,
I just updated my resume and I am looking for all kind of productive comments. I know you guys have some great eyes so please share thoughts with me.
Nobody on earth has the skills you say you have.
Mybe you should cut some lines, or be a bit more precise.
I don't think the skills section sounds unrealistic.
However, I don't like the constantly changing (and often too wide) letterspacing. You should get rid of the justified setting.
And your I-dots are too narrow over the I.
depends on what you call skill.
thanks a lot for the quick response.
@tim, I uploaded another version which I totally backed away from justified setting and also corrected the dots. Please let me know if you see something you don't like.
@john, well I see your concerns about my skills, does this mean you are not going to hire me?
I'd appreciate opinions regarding the layout.
again, thanks a lot!
I mean, nobody is expert in everything, and as it's set now, I don't see what's your best card, even after a good read.
Who want's to spend half an hour knowing who you are and what you can do ?
I think you should put the focus on your "violon d'Ingres"
btw, I feel resume_loose.pdf is not a solution. it's kinda messy.
All this needs clarity.
Stong message.
Here are a few things I noticed:
In the Work Experience, Education, and Exhibitions sections, you should put the items in chronological order with the most recent at the top rather than at the bottom.
Change hyphens to en dashes and lose the space on either side
You use a combination of proportional old style numbers and tabular lining numbers....I would make them all one or the other, preferably all old style.
I think the all caps bold is a little much...more emphasis should be placed on the job positions held rather than the company worked for, in my opinion.
Why is your email and telephone italicized? Seems like it should be formatted the same as your address.
In the section, Exhibitions and Awards, the line with TSOA Scholarship, there is a double space before New York University.
Lastly, I disagree with John about your skill section...it doesn't seem unrealistic to me.
Good luck with your job search!
In addition – 'clients such as' is not as impressive as 'clients including' (unless you haven't worked for them and are using those examples to cover for clients that you have worked for – in which case that is taking client confidentiality a bit too far).
I would turn over Efes and if Shop and Miles is a client I would change the order or change the 'and' to an ampersand so that the order isn't so strange at the end of that line.
The Reading exhibition is a bit obvious with the large tab, I would overhang the " to slightly reduce that space, the space after doesn't follow the others and if you tab the dates I would also tab the skills section. I cannot see why Exhibitions & Awards would be in two lines.
The period spent as a freelance flash developer should be treated in the same way as the other positions.
Overall I feel too much space is taken up on the left.
thanks a lot for your comments jen and tim. I am going to upload another version according to your critics tonight. I really appreciate giving your time!

Root cellars & Food Storage
zuni(5a)April 1, 2010
The posts about root cellars are very old. Maybe it is time for a new discussion. I would like to hear from anyone that has SUCCESSFULLY tried preserving fresh foods this way.
I am reading "Root Cellaring: Natural Cold Storage of Fruits & Vegetables" by Mike & Nancy Bubel, and that will be my guide.
We have a 150-year old house with a large concrete box in the basement. The bottom of the box is dirt. I suspect this was a root cellar at one time. I believe we would need to put some fresh sand in the bottom, mouse-proof it with some hardware cloth, and cover the box with an insulated lid. Does the food need to be packed in sand also?

Merci encore,
Good place to stay in a private apartement. Debbie was very welcoming and available.
we spend very good time there. we were very close to Buren trail so it was very good place.
un bon accueil debbie nous a laissé notre intimité tout en restant disponible au besoin. bon séjour.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay with Debbie & Stuart. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with all everything we needed for the duration of our stay. There is also a private entrance which was great. In terms of location, the house is ideally situated in the countryside but just a 5-10 min drive to Lahinch. We could not fault this place at all and we will be returning!
Debbie était là pour nous accueillir, nous faire visiter le logement et bien nous expliquer le fonctionnement général. Le logement est contigü à la maison de Debbie et son mari ce qui était très pratique pour dialoguer.
Le logement est plus grand que ce qu'il paraît sur les photos. Propre, linge de maison, de quoi prendre un petit déjeuner et un "journal de bord" sympa. Nous avons écouté le CD du groupe de Debbie et son mari: vraiment bien!!! Malgré la proximité de la route, le logement est bien orienté et isolé et à part le passage des vaches devant le terrain (cool...), très calme surtout la nuit...rapport qualité/prix excellent, merci à vous deux pour cet accueil...très bonne situation pour visiter.
ideale per chi non vuole spendere molto. E' nelle vicinanze delle cliff of moher. l'ambiente è accogliente ma trascurato. pulito quanto basta. nessuna colazione
I have been living here in ireland for 13 years with my husband. We have 4 dogs and 1 cat. My husband a I Stuart run a surf school and shop in lahinch called the Green room. we have a band and also write our own songs. I also love taken photos and drawing.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
How about a GETAWAY with Neko Case?
BIG RELEASE: Getaway (Aug. 30),
BIG PICTURE: The ultimate Frankenfilm. It's Wizards of Waverly Place meets Before Sunset meets Taken meets Speed -- with a dash of Fast & Furious. In order to save his kidnapped wife, a professional race-car driver (Ethan Hawke) is forced behind the wheel of a car by a mysterious man with a sinister, Eastern European accent. He is ordered to "drive" and begin an epic crime spree or his wife will be killed. To make matters worse, Hawke's character's name is "Brent Magna." To make matters worse than worse, he soon finds himself trapped in the car with Selena Gomez. Gomez plays a baseball-cap and hoodie-wearing street hustler who tries to steal Brent's car and gets caught up in the whole zany blackmail scheme. First Gomez plays a deviant teen in Spring Breakers (2012), and now a would-be car thief? Maybe Gomez and Justin Bieber are meant to be together after all.
FORECAST: An entertaining summer getaway. Hawke is due an Oscar nod for his performance in Before Sunset, but maybe he deserves one for playing a guy named Brent Magna.
HONOURABLE MENTION: Closed Circuit (Aug. 28). At first I hoped this was the long awaited third installment in the Short Circuit series (Johnny 5 is alive!). Instead, it's a drama about two British defense attorneys defending a suspected terrorist who may or may not have been a double agent working for MI5 (that is, James Bond's employer). Faster than you can say John Grisham, they find themselves in grave danger. The star-studded cast includes Eric Bana, Rebecca Hall, Jim Broadbent and Julia Stiles -- a clear indication the silly summer season is almost behind us and Oscar season (movies for people who don't post comments like "can't wait for this!" under trailers for films like Getaway) is almost upon us.
BIG EVENT: Cutthroat Kitchen (August 25, Food Network Canada, 10 p.m.
BIG PICTURE: It's Iron Chef meets Pirates of the Caribbean. Alton Brown hosts this cutthroat (figuratively, not literally) kitchen competition in which would be chefs are encouraged to steal, sabotage and outwit their opponents. In an unpredictable twist, each chef is given $25,000 with which they can buy ingredients, utensils and other advantages that can help them win. They can also use their coin to hinder opponents. The winner of the three-round cook-off gets to keep the money he has left.
FORECAST: If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. If any of these chefs-turned-rogues needs inspiration, I'd look to Captain Jack. Make rum the primary ingredient in every dish and pay for all the other chefs to walk the plank. You can't lose.
BIG RELEASES ON AUG. 27: Neko Case (The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, The More I Love You), Federal Lights (We Were Found in the Fog)
BIG PICTURE: American indie pop goddess Neko Case delivers another album to be worshiped. As a member of Vancouver band The New Pornographers, she's practically Canadian. The charismatic, profound songwriter is supported on the album by the likes of M. Ward (I think he is contractually obligated to appear on every indie record) and A.C. Newman, her Canuck bandmate. Case's sixth album charts her way out of a period of grief with power and poignancy. Meanwhile, Winnipeg's Federal Lights releases its full-length debut, and you can expect big things to come from its lively brand of hook-laden Prairie pop. The album was recorded in the winter (when I assume all Winnipeggers are snowed in and working on indie rock albums).
FORECAST: Federal Lights is a good find, but the Case is closed. Neco is this week's must-listen. From melancholy folk ballads to power pop, she does it all. She's also a contender for my favourite album title of the year (we've all had a relationship that can be summed up with those 17 words).
HONOURABLE MENTION: Franz Ferdinand (Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action): The Scottish dance-rock masters are back to make you move. There are no wrong actions.

Kevin Love trade talks open again between Warriors, Timberwolves
Timberwolves president and coach Flip Saunders was seen talking to Warriors general manager Bob Myers at the arena on Sunday as the teams look to bridge the gap that caused discussions to stall. The Warriors have been reluctant to include shooting guard Klay Thompson in any package, which has been considered a deal-breaker for the Timberwolves.

British Open: a new golf course, a new Tiger Woods
Royal Liverpool, green and thick this time around, is still a firm and bouncy test of links golf. But it's nothing as it was in 2006, when the fairways were so baked and brown that Woods hit only one driver in four rounds.
Dwyane Wade re-signs with Miami Heat
Wade signed a new contract with the Heat on Tuesday. It's a two-year deal, the second of those seasons a player option, said a person familiar with the situation.
Pete Rose could play role at 2015 All-Star Game

Phil Mickelson confident — at least about links golf
He has missed three cuts. He withdrew twice after narrowly making the cut because of injuries. At the Masters, where he is a three-time champion, he missed the cut for the first time in 17 years. But Lefty's still smiling.
Brazil rethinks future after World Cup failure
The Cup was widely seen as Brazil's for the taking. They finished in fourth place with their star badly injured and the brutal memory of a 7-1 rout by the Germans in front of a global audience.
United Germany stands at the top of the world
Germany proved it had the best team in the world, and won its fourth World Cup with a win against Argentina.

Donate to Mercy Loan Fund to give more individuals opportunities for stability and hope.
Provider: Vitality Center
Location: Sun Valley, Nevada
Property Type: Supportive Housing
Units: 20
Description: Vitality Center was founded in 1971 in rural northeastern Nevada to serve the needs of men leaving prison including housing, employment and sobriety counseling. Vitality Center's mission is to reduce the number of individuals dependent on alcohol and other drugs and establish and foster linkages, services and programs that improve their quality of life. Programs and services offered to the men at Vitality Center include:
Mercy Loan Fund provided a $287,200 acquisition loan to Vitality Center for Phoenix House III & IV, two of four transitional homes, housing groups of up to 10 men in each house. Residents can stay up to two years, but the average stay has been less than one year. While residing at the homes, all residents must participate in a rehabilitation program which includes full time employment. The majority of the residents are placed in construction jobs at $10 or less per hour which equates to about 50 percent or less of area median income for a single person household. Thus, the transitional housing provided at Phoenix House III & IV is an important part of assisting these men in finding stability and security after they leave prison.
