Learning 2008: Wrap up of day 1
I have already written two posts about the Learning 2008 conference. This last post about day one will just be some random things that I noticed and want to highlight:
- The session on Mobile learning with industry leaders from Chrysler, Accenture, Microsoft and Merril Lynch was surprising to me. Mobile learning was mostly used by these companies to make their learning more efficient and thus drive down costs without losing effectiveness. Basically a matter of ROI. Existing learning materials and courses are converted into on- or offline materials for the Blackberry or Windows mobile. Their employees can then do some of the required business curriculum while they are on a plane, on the way to their car or while playing with their child (yep, that last example was actually used). They were after the holy grail of learning designers: design once and deploy everywhere. The problem with this is that they do not take the affordances of the mobile device into account. The fact that this is a cell phone which could be used for audio, that it is a communication tool that has rich possibilities (e.g. location awareness through GPS) was not taken into account. To me that is a shame.
- Richard Culatta works for the CIA and gave a presentation titled: "Two Brains are better than one: Leveraging social networks for learning". He talked about a whole bunch of free tools which can be used for social learning. The CIA uses these tools in different ways (e.g. the Intellipedia, a Mediawiki implementation). What I liked about Richard's presentation was his enthusiasm and his energy: he covered a lot of ground in a short time and was very interactive with the audience. Maybe because he is well aware of the concept of the attention economy. I wish all presenters would take the cost of my attention into account!
- Wayne Hodgins is working with Erik Duval on a book about the Snowflake effect. His job title is "Strategic Futurist" and works from his sailing boat in which he sails around the world. He talked about how everybody is a snowflake, a metaphor for the uniqueness of everybody. Different music services (e.g. Pandora and Last.fm) already take this uniqueness into account. Why don't we apply these principles to learning activities? Finally he talked about mashups as a generic concept. Why don't we use the unique qualities of humans and mash them up when we create a project team?
- Sue Gardner, the Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation, talked about the Wikipedia in general, which is currently the number four website in the world. Masie asked her about how neutrality is ensured. Her idea is that transparency is the answer to everything. By being clear that someone thinks A, but somebody else thinks B, you actually add to knowledge and make things clear. The foundation will be working on improving the interface for editing articles which can be quite difficult for complex pages. They might also try to look at what they can do with video and audio, although we have to realise that they are not as easily collaborated with as with text. Masie wondered about students using information from the Wikipedia for their assignments. Is that something we should encourage while the information might not be correct? Sue answered by talking about the most accepting country for Wikipedia: Germany. Professors in Germany are starting to see it as their duty to make sure that Wikipedia is correct and updated.
- Finally an interesting link: Learning for International NGO's (Lingos).
On to day two!
The Chumby: sexy open hardware
I have a problem with locked-down hardware. It is not that I don't like Apple's products (the iPod Touch is a wonderful piece of hardware), I just don't like the way Apple's products treat their customers. I had to help somebody who's Windows laptop had died. She bought a new Apple laptop and wanted to move her music from her iPod to her new laptop: impossible! It took Linux as an intermediary to get it done.
That is why I love the concept of open hardware. I personally own a Neuros OSD (great when you are on a holiday and want to watch your own videos on the hotel TV) and, since a couple of months, a Chumby.
The Chumby is a computer the size of a coffee mug and made of leather. It has a touch screen, an accelerometer, a microphone, stereo speakers, two USB ports, a WIFI connection and a nice soft button on the top.
So what can it do? I see it as having a couple of distinct functions. It is:
- An excellent alarm clock with an easy interface. You can set multiple alarms and decide whether you want to wake up with music or a tone. You can even set the length of your snooze.
- A relatively decent speaker set for your iPod.
- An Internet radio player. It is full of Shoutcast and other streams.
- A digital picture frame for photos that live on the Internet (e.g. Flickr, Facebook, Picasa). It can display photos from a particular user, but also from a particular tag.
- An RSS reader.
- And finally, an Internet enabled device for any kind of content.
The last point is the important one. You can load your Chumby with widgets. There are hundreds of widgets available. You use a web-based interface to add these widgets into channels. Then you set your Chumby to watch a certain channel.
I have created this virtual Chumby (please click the link, it opens in a new window!) to give you an idea of what these widgets look like. This chumby shows a particular channel which I created for this blog post and has a couple of example widgets. Each widget will be shown for about 20-45 seconds. It starts with some random Flickr images showing my favourite tag: decay. You can interact with the screen to move to the next or the previous tag. Next up is Twistori, this displays recent tweets with the word "believe" in it. If you prefer "love", "hate", "think", "feel" or "wish" then you can click on those words to switch to them. The Chumby will then display recent top news stories from Google news. Next this blog using Chumby's RSS reader (you might see this blog entry). It finishes off with the weather in Amsterdam (including a forecast), a web cam looking at Abbey Road (do you see people trying to imitate the famous Beatles cover?), some video's from the excellent videojug and the classic blue ball machine animation.
As you can see the Chumby mostly pulls content in. My colleague Job Bilsen had the interesting idea of using it as a device for pushing content to people. He had visions of companies putting Chumbies on the desks of their employees and sending them important updates about things like compliance, RSI, internal news, etc. I can already see a plug-in for a VLE like Moodle. Imagine doing your homework on your laptop with your Chumby on your desk displaying updates from your courses and playing your favourite Last.fm channel (they are working on a Last.fm widget)!
The best thing about the Chumby: the specifications are completely open. I had to get an European adapter for it and they have the precise information about the power supply listed on their website. You are even encouraged to hack into it! Use it as a web server or log into over ssh? No problem.
Where do you get one? Currently the Chumby is only available in the US. They are in the process of complying to all the European rules and regulations so it shouldn't take much longer before you can buy one over here as well. Want one now? Ebay is your friend!

Cinemax Original Action Series
Strike Back
Delta Force soldier Damien Scott finds that he fits in rather well in the double-secret British counter-terrorism unit in Strike Back, which has its series debut on Cinemax.
Like "24" in its Surnow heyday, viewers should not get too attached to recurring characters, including John Porter (a lead protagonist from the pre-Cinemax first season on British Sky TV). Captured while investigating a large-scale operation code-named Project Dawn, Porter has been captured by terrorists loyal to the Islamist mastermind Latif.
Aside from Porter, only his former American counterpart from the early days of Iraq can identify the mysterious Latif. That of course would be Scott.
Naturally, there is major friction between the Yank and the Brit, but they are all business when the bullets start flying. If the first four installments are representative of the entire season, the wider overarching storyline will be advanced by a succession of two-episode mini-arcs.
On the micro level, the show is a breath of fresh air. For instance, Scott spends the balance of episode 2 protecting an innocent young girl from Islamic terrorists (who are explicitly identified as such).
However, on the macro level, the shadowy metaconspiracy threatens to be a real buzz kill. Supposedly, Scott was unceremoniously mustered out of service because he caught wind of a plan to plant the WMD stockpiles that would "justify" Operation Iraqi Freedom. Those infamous weapons are now at loose ends, doggedly pursued by Latif for his nefarious purposes.
This sort of potential demonization of the American military and intelligence services is exactly what we do not need any more of on television.
It would be a shame if the macro themes continue in this direction, because they could spoil some genuinely rip-rousing television entertainment. As Scott, Sullivan Stapleton is an undeniably likable and engaging hard-nosed, bad-attitude protagonist. Though the relatively by-the-book Stonebridge is probably not as fun to play, Philip Winchester displays plenty of square-jawed action credibility.
There are also plenty of "James Bond" worthy women, like the gorgeous Karen David (sort of geek-famous for Scorpion King 2) as the barmaid Scott protects when the terrorists break up their hookup. Likewise, the villains are truly villainous, such as the workaholic Liam Cunningham, chewing the scenery with relish as IRA enforcer turned mercenary Daniel Connolly.
Cast: Michelle Lukes, Amanda Mealing, Sullivan Stapleton
Running Time: 360 minutes (6 episodes)
Rating: Not Rated
At least in episodes 1 through 4, the Indian and South African settings are quite cinematic, while the stunt work and effects are all first class. Scott and Stonebridge deliver quite a bit of vicarious satisfaction, administering on-the-spot justice to Islamist fanatics and their craven accomplices that should be well worth returning for throughout the show's run.
Yet, if it loses sight of who the real bad guys are, sliding into the sort of moral equivalency frequently peddled by Hollywood, it will alienate its core viewership, while those sharing such a hostile view of American and British military and intelligence personnel will be put off by the Jack Bauer tactics gleefully indulged in throughout each episode.
Strike Back could be flat-out awesome, so let's hope it minimizes the clichéd conspiracy themes and plays to its strengths. This week, the totally entertaining first episode is definitely recommended when it debuts today on Cinemax.

GE to Hire 5,000 Veterans Over Next 5 Years, Invest $580M to Expand Aviation Business
February 13, 2012
General Electric Co. plans to hire 5,000 veterans over the next five years and invest $580 million to expand its aviation business.
The announcements Monday were part of a four-day event that the global conglomerate is hosting with partners in Washington, D.C., that focuses on issues such as manufacturing and job creation in America.
GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt heads up President Obama's 27-member jobs council, which also includes AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, AOL co-founder Steve Case and Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg.
GE said Monday that its "Hiring Our Heroes" partnership will help match veterans with jobs. The company, whose products range from jet engines to lightbulbs, will also team with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to sponsor 400 veterans' job fairs this year. GE currently employs more than 10,000 veterans and has about 100 U.S. employee reservists serving overseas.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--- The University of New Mexico men's tennis team has yet to yield in their hard work and progress, and it is certainly being made known. Their determination has once again paid off, pushing them even farther up the national rankings to a well-deserved no. 46.
In the previous week, the Lobos managed to climb up from no. 61 to no. 60 after battling both and Arizona and San Diego in Tucson, Ariz. This past weekend's matches against Northern Arizona and Abilene Christian secured two more wins for New Mexico and helped them to jump up several spots on the Intercollegiate Tennis Associations charts. Moving up to an impressive no. 46 is a great achievement for the Lobos and they don't seem to be stopping their improvement anytime soon.

Out of the blue I got some free tickets to tonight's season finale against the Predators. Ninth row behind the bench. Too bad they lost 6-1. But it was good to finally make it to a game this year
Who the **** is this guy?
But in the meantime, why not pick up one of the Rock Band drum sets? They're fully compatible with GHWT.
Plus I've got several XBox 1 games I can delete off that list now, too. It'll be nice to get rid of those, remove that clutter. I've really become quite an Achievement whore lately and all those zeroes drives me nuts when I look over that list. Not a problem anymore. Great feature.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Leeds has made contact with Stoke about the possibility of bringing Butland to the side, reports Sky Sports.
Leeds is in search of a new goalkeeper, and Heurelho Gomes is also in the mix for a possible loan agreement. Butland will be looking to make sure he gets regular playing time ahead of selection for this summer's World Cup.

Jack Butland: Past News Updates ( ▲ View most recent update )
January 12, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Butland leaked five goals as Stoke City fell to Liverpool on Sunday.
Butland's five saves prevented a larger scoreline, but he'll be keen to forget Sunday's performance nonetheless. With fellow keepers Asmir Begovic (finger) and Thomas Sorensen (Achilles) still out, Butland will remain the Potters' No. 1 until one of his peers returns to health.
December 27, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Butland has been recalled from his loan spell at Barnsley, after Asmir Begovic suffered a broken finger in training, the BBC reports.
Thomas Sorensen has taken over the starting goalkeeper duties for Stoke, although Butland would be the next in line if anything were to happen to the new No. 1.
January 31, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Butland has signed a contract reported to be around �5 million to join Stoke City after the season, ESPN Soccernet reports.
He will remain with Birmingham until the end of the Championship League season. Butland recently turned down the chance to talk to Chelsea, as the England international only wanted the opportunity for regular playing time. He is worth keeping an eye on for next season and beyond.
January 30, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Butland turned down an opportunity to join Chelsea by opting to stay with Birmingham, reports the Daily Mail.
Chelsea bid �3 million for the keeper, however Butland decided his long-term future would be negatively impacted without playing regularly.
May 25, 2012
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Butland was called into the English National Team to fill in for injured keeper John Ruddy ahead of the Euros, according to UEFA.com.
The Birmingham City keeper is just 19, and while he probably won't see the field in Poland and the Ukraine, it's a great experience for him and could be a warm up for the Olympics later this summer.

There's a difference in staying at a hotel and actually living in Paradise. This bed and breakfast gives you gorgeous Hawaii as your home. From the warm aloha of the hosts, to the healthy and yummy breakfast choices, I highly recommend this special place. The view is breathtaking and for just a little while, Paradise is yours.

I stayed Aloha B&B for 3nights in June, 2014, and the days there made me literally feel at home and relaxed. Don and Phylllis were extremely kind and always cheerful, and offered a helping hand whenever they found it good for me, while keeping certain, just right distance; for example, advice about sightseeing, driving me down at times when they went out(since I did not have a car), helping meal cooking… There was a lanai where I could enjoy great view which changes as time goes by in a day, especially star-filled night sky in the calm neighborhood was breathtaking. Also, Having a breakfast there feeling cozy breeze made the very nice start of the day. I stayed queen bed room, and the sight from the window at dawn was also my favorite. Phyllis prepared healthy breakfast every morning, and I could enjoy as much as I wanted, always with fresh fruits. Room was not that big, but clean and for me, staying alone, just good size and cozy. I strongly recommend Aloha B&B to anybody who do not like or take rest from the hustle and bustle in Waikiki and want to relax feeling warmth and beauty of Hawaii through both human and nature.

I simply cannot say enough good things about Don & Phyllis! We were completely satisfied with our stay in their home during our recent trip to Oahu. When I reserved the room Phyllis had asked for any dietary concerns. I am trying to live gluten and dairy free. This is always so difficult when traveling. There was gluten free bread and cereal for breakfast. Phyllis made the most delicious fruit/oatmeal cereal. They have many local maps and books regarding the area. They knew what activities were going on in the area while we were in town. We will definitely stay at this B&B if the opportunity arises in the future.

I keep looking for words other than wonderful to describe my stay here in Hawaii Kai with Don and Phyllis.On every level from service to food and cleanliness this stay exceeded my expectations. Don and Phyllis' experience, generosity and warmth set me up to take in the rest of the island flow. Their view was an ever- present and uplifting part of the experience - as much a part of the trip as anything else. Quiet. Simple. Serene.Private. Away from the hustle and frenetic. The hillside view is tucked away and a car is needed. Don and Phyllis have good recommendations for that and anything else "island" you might need. A great first stay. A comfortable home base for recharging after day out. I considered myself quite lucky for this find, would love to visit again, and recommend them with enthusiasm. Many Thanks, Don and Phyllis!

Thought it might be nice to stay in a B&B for the first few nights on Oahu, before traveling to some of the other islands, so that we could get acquainted with folks that live and experience Hawaii everyday. This idea worked well for us and we had a wonderful visit here!

If you plan to rent a car for your visit to Oahu, the Aloha B&B will be good fit. The drive from Honolulu airport is about 30 min to the east. The friendly host and hostess, Don and Phyllis Young, have three guest rooms in their beautiful hillside home with great views of the marina, Koko Head, Koko Crater, and Maunaula Bay. We decided to stay at the Aloha B&B in order to avoid the crowded, impersonal and expensive lodging at Waikiki. We also wanted to see the Honolulu sights as well as other areas of Oahu. Other guests during our stay were from Poland and Japan and were delightful to meet over a good, healthy breakfast of coffee, island fruits, yogurt, wholegrain cereals and breads. Also for dinner we enjoyed restaurants at the marina shopping center just down the hill. All in all we really enjoyed our stay at the Aloha B&B and the helpfulness that the Youngs offered for our Oahu visit.

Was delighted to find this B&B in Honolulu. I agree with all the nice things previous reviewers have said! Don and Phyllis are exceptionally warm, welcoming and helpful hosts. My room was clean and comfy with a fabulous view. Every morning there were nice breakfast fixings laid out, fresh fruit and granola and fresh baked goods and fresh coffee. The Honolulu weather being so amazing I always took my breakfast sitting out on the deck for more of that extraordinary view across the bay. They have a great collection of Hawaii guide books and were excellent information resources themselves. Was a great base for touring Honolulu, and a terrific deal. Would stay there again

Aloha Bed and Breakfast was the perfect place for our family to stay. This B&B is located in Hawaii Kai, a quiet community on the outskirts of Honolulu--away from the noise and traffic of the city but still having nice shopping, restaurants, beaches, hiking, etc. Don and Phyllis' home is comfortable and pleasantly arranged for relaxation--inside and outside. They have beautiful views out of all windows and from the deck and the pool. Their home and grounds are kept very clean, and great care is taken to make sure every area is a spot of beauty. Our breakfasts included whole grain breads, cereals, local fruits, yogurt, orange juice, great coffee, and other varied healthy choices. I took home some great recipes:) Don and Phyllis were very accommodating to meet our needs and make our stay a memorable one. We would happily choose to stay with them again on future visits to Hawaii!

I slept in the queen bedroom and was very pleased with the firmness of the bed and the size and quality of the room, which is down two short stair flights so I got a lot of exercise daily. Breakfast was a delightful array of fruits, yogurt and a homemade muffin, juice and coffee. We had pleasant conversations and my coming and going at early hours was never a problem. I ate breakfast on the lanai under the early morning stars and sometimes kept off-site dinner leftovers in the refrigerator for the following day. The Young's residence is nicely situated. I never felt I was a bother to them as they went about their daily routines. I was free to come and go as I pleased, which I did. This is not the place for you if you want to be catered to.

Don & Phyllis were great hosts during my 3 night stay at their B&B. Upon arrival Phyllis showed me around and gave me great sightseeing tips in the area. They both had lots of recommendations on what to do and see, providing maps and coupons for all kinds of activities around the island. The neighborhood is quiet and has great views. I felt very welcomed and started my days off at around 11am to venture around the island. Breakfast was delicious and the fresh fruit was a great plus. I would definitely recommend staying there. The location is convenient, the rooms are clean and comfortable and Phyllis and Don are the sweetest blessing for a person traveling alone to feel welcomed. Aloha! :)

Gagne is a very valuable. If you have the opportunity to trade Johnson for him do it. With Randy's age, and being in NY now I don't expect the same old from him. Gagne's saves and his ability are more than worth it. He is automatic.
MRI reveals mild sprain for Gagne
Closer expected to resume throwing next week
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
Eric Gagne is expected to resume throwing next week on flat ground and graduate back to the mound as healing continues.
VERO BEACH, Fla. -- An MRI on Eric Gagne's left knee Friday confirmed a mild sprain of the medial collateral ligament and the entire Dodgers organization breathed a literal sigh of relief.
"Good news," said trainer Stan Johnston. "He won't throw for about a week, until it gets calmed down. It takes six weeks for full recovery, but he'll be pitching in games here. If this was the season, he'd be taped and he'd be pitching."
Johnston said Gagne would resume throwing next week on flat ground and graduate back to the mound as healing continues. Gagne already was on a conservative throwing schedule, earned to conserve his arm for the rigors of a long season.
Prior to the MRI, Gagne reported to Dodgertown with a slight limp, but was able to participate in a one-hour cardiovascular exercise and said he was confident the injury, suffered Thursday, was minor.
"It feels about the same as yesterday, maybe a little better," said Gagne. "They told me if there's swelling, something's wrong. There's none, no fluid in there. I'll be fine. It feels like a little bruise.
"There's no sharp pain. I'm not really worried about it. I'm not a doctor, but I know it's not serious."
Gagne said he has no history of knee problems and he has spent no time on a Major League disabled list, but his career has not been injury-free. He missed his second professional season in 1997 with Tommy John elbow reconstruction and has had to overcome back spasms the past two springs. He recently signed a two-year, $19 million contract extension.
Of course, the news Thursday that Gagne felt a pop in the knee when his cleats caught during a routine game of pepper did beg the obvious hypothetical -- what if he really was injured?
"That does raise an interesting question," said outfielder Jayson Werth. "The team is so molded around him. We overcame a lot of stuff last year that people didn't think we could overcome. We seem to find a way. Still, no closer has what he has. Without him, it really is a different team. It's not something we really want to find out."
Manager Jim Tracy said he wouldn't even think about who would replace Gagne as his closer.
"Only if I was told he wouldn't be here would I do that, and then it would be, how do we structure things to get through it?" he said.
With the trade last July of Guillermo Mota, there really is no apparent closer-in-waiting behind Gagne. Likely setup man Yhency Brazoban has two months of Major League service and Duaner Sanchez, another hard-thrower, has one full season.
"Brazoban's not ready for that kind of pressure, not yet," said veteran Wilson Alvarez.
Giovanni Carrara, who has three saves in four full seasons, said he knows what the team would do.
"We'd do what we did last year when they traded Mota," he said. "We'd pick [Gagne] up. We pick each other up when people think we can't. We've got guys to do it."
Perhaps. But Gagne has 152 career saves. The only other pitcher in camp with significant closer experience is Derek Lowe, but the last of his 85 career saves came in 2001 and the Dodgers are paying him $9 million a year to start.
Of the other pitchers in camp, non-roster reliever Aquilino Lopez had 14 saves with Toronto as a rookie in 2003 and no other pitcher has more than five Major League saves.
"You can't look at it like the season's down the tubes because one guy is out," said Jeff Weaver. "Obviously, he closes the door with an exclamation mark. But look at the Yankees. When Mariano Rivera gets hurt, you find somebody to take care of business. He's the elite, but he'd tell you that somebody's got to step up. Good teams do that."
"Enjoy this Reds fans, you are watching a legend grow up before your very eyes" ... DoogMinAmo on Adam Dunn
I would! Without batting an eye.
"Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women." - Nora Ephron

Thank you so much for the support! It is really touching.
I will try to respond to as many of the comments as I can individually but at the moment I am only able to access the blog on my phone since the DNS hasn't propagated yet. This is why Some people are able to access it and some are not. It can take up to 48 hours for DNS to propagate and it can bounce back and forth. Once I can use a real computer and not my phone I will respond more.
As far as giving notice. I wish I could have. See, he has the servers, the actual code. I don't have access to any of that which is why this is a wordpress blog. He had notice and he could have given notice or worked to resolve it with me but he didn't. Well, he made a worse offer than the original settlement offer after I stated what I wanted and then didn't pick up the phone when I tried to call him to discuss it.
Either way, I don't anticipate this being permanent. I hope it is short lived and you can all get back to chatting with your friends.

Dizzy's Day Nursery to expand service
Posted: April 17, 2014|
Haverhill's most loved business, as voted for by residents, is looking to expand its premises.
Dizzy's Day Nursery, in Hollands Road, has entered plans to expand into an empty factory unit next door.
The nursery, which can cater for up to 96 children at a time, hopes to use this space for an out-of-school club activity area, staff rest area and storage space.
A planning statement written by the nursery, said: "The nursery and out-of-school club serves both families living within the town of Haverhill and those who commute into Haverhill from other areas.
"Demand for places remains high and and the nursery is known for its high-quality care and education.
"Rated outstanding by Ofsted, voted Best Loved Business in Haverhill in 2013 and 2014 nominated for Suffolk's Raising the Bar Awards, highly regarded in the community and by local schools, the nursery is a community asset."
If permission is granted, a new courtyard garden will be accessed from the building, and staff hope to use this space to add to their vegetable garden, and provide more gardening and outdoor fun for the children.
Liz Nunn, head of nursery, said: "We are all very excited about the new facilities."
Dizzy's started 12 years ago, and caters for babies and children up to age 11.
There is a 30-strong staff team, and the nursery is used by some 150 families.
The application is to change the use of the building from furniture restoration (B1) to day nursery (D1).
To view the full plans visit stedmundsbury.gov.uk. For more information about the nursery contact Liz via 01440706246 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Both of my sons are wordsmiths and the elder one has a particular facility for delivering groan-inducing puns with such lightning speed that even as you roll your eyes, you cant help but be a little impressed"or terrified"by how dexterously his brain can associate many things with many other things. A few years ago, during a chat about Traditional Chinese Medicine, I explained that practitioners will advise their patients to nourish and build up the yin energies through autumn and winter and the yang energies in the springtime and summer.
I had barely finished my sentence when he said, Well, obviously! Whats yanger than springtime?
A gift for wordplay is the sign of an active, engaged mind, and I always appreciate seeing evidence of Jesuss vigorous intellect in the bits of affectionate, word-based and rather Semitic humor on display in scripture; I marvel at Jesuss deft tongue. In Matthew, Chapter 14, Simon and Andrew"probably kvetching at each other as they cast their nets into the sea"needed only one phrase to drop their nets and follow him, and the phrase was a dandy: Hey, you fishermen . . . follow me; Ill make you fishers of men !
I take the point of the women who prefer the more gender-neutral Ill make you fishers of persons but he was addressing fisher men at the time, and the joke"which is delightful"doesnt really work once it has been neutered. Good straight-men (or straight-persons) know never to step on the punchline.
Given that, I always envision Jesus throwing back his head in good-humored appreciation when"as we see in tomorrows reading from Matthews Gospel"a Canaanite woman bests him, answering his challenge with one of her own:
And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon. But he did not say a word in answer to her.
His disciples came and asked him, Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us.
He said in reply, I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. But the woman came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.
He said in reply, It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.
She said, Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters.
Then Jesus said to her in reply, O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Jesus loves us, this we know, for the bible tells us so, but he never loves us with the sort of syrupy instinct to sentimentalism that can sometimes overtake us when"in our parenting or our socializing"we allow our affections to override the need to speak a truthful word, because it might be seen as discomfiting, or hurtful.
In other words, Jesus never loves us too much to challenge us, and that scene above is a good example of it. I have read some commentators suggest that Jesuss exchange with this woman is an occasion where he is being dark or unloving, but we really do choose how we receive a thing, and I have never received this gospel story in that negative way. Rather, Jesus seems to me to be acting here as a good teacher who wants his student to stand and deliver, so to speak.
Yes, I know"stand and deliver is the catchphrase of highwaymen and thieves"but the phrase and thinking works here because what it really breaks down to is, hand over the goods, deliver to me what is valuable.
I believe in Jesus case, he wants us to open up"to expose and bring forth to him our inmost selves; the valuable goods, as it were.
Jesus is the divine teacher, and a good teacher finds the way to bring out the very best in students"not to simply teach them rote memorization (although that has its place) but to make them deliver of themselves; to put something more behind their answers. He does it over and over in the Gospels"makes people declare what it is they want and why they are coming to him. His challenge says, stand and deliver"so that you may be more fully the man or woman you are, and not some prostrate creature.
Had this encounter between Jesus and the woman not involved a challenge"had Jesus simply shrugged and healed her daughter upon demand"it would not have been as memorable and a key bit of theological information would not have been passed along to us; the important message to the Gentiles ( do not be afraid to seek your salvation here, it is for you, too ) might have been lost.
Perhaps more importantly, on a personal level, the woman would not have been uplifted in a public way; she would not have had her cleverness"a gift of her individuality and a sign of her God-intended unique personhood"acknowledged. She would have simply been one more woman ducking her head and lowering her eyes. Instead"after an encounter with Christ"she had dignity and could hold her head up. I believe those are the reasons Christ challenged her.
This is a wonderful story and Jesus made here a generous challenge to a woman who had been raised in a culture that thought of her as mere chattel: show me who you are , he said. Stand up tall. Be yourself. Speak your piece. There is nothing dark in any of that.
And there could not ever have been, in any case, for Christ Jesus is all truth, and all light.

The British re-enactors began on August 30 and marched for three days until their final camp site in West Chazy at Guma's restaurant near Route 22. The route they are taking on Route 22 is roughly the same to what the soldiers walked 200 years ago. On Monday, they march the longest length, about 10 miles, through Beekmantown and will end at Post 20 American Legion which was temporary British headquarters during this battle.
The march ends today but the commemoration of The Battle of Plattsburgh continues until September 13 with concerts, other re-enactments, exhibits and much more throughout the next two weeks.

It has never been a better time to be a smaller developer. Steam allows you to reach a huge number of PC gamers, and upcoming consoles like the OUYA give you more outlets to push your titles to a hungry audience. The iOS market is thriving. Both Nintendo and Sony are making strong plays for smaller developers, and both companies have taken steps to make it simpler to get content onto their hardware, while giving the developers more control over pricing and release dates.
Microsoft, on the other hand, seems stuck in an antiquated way of thinking when it comes to the Xbox Live Arcade, developers are suffering due to patch fees and the requirement to work with large publishers, and the abundance of ads on the Xbox dashboard is hurting the discoverability of smaller games.
The stories of Microsoft's hostilities towards smaller devs are beginning to pile up. This is what people are saying.
Super Sony
"It's astonishing what Sony is doing right now. They are doing some very aggressive movements, and I love it." Devolver's Nigel Lowrie told the Report. Hotline Miami is coming to Sony platforms because Sony saw it before it was released, called Devolver, and made it happen. Lowrie said that he's often in friendly competition with Sony over signing interesting indie games, a situation that seems to make him happy. More competition for smaller, more interesting games is a good thing.
On the other hand, the company doesn't have a relationship with Microsoft, mostly due to the policies of Xbox Live Arcade. "We don't have a formal relationship with Microsoft, because you have to publish retail games to be awarded Xbox Live slots, and we don't do that. So anything we release on XBLA needs to be with a partner," he explained.
Sony recently held an event at GDC just to celebrate its relationship with indie publishers, and to show off games like Sportsfriends and a wide variety of indie content. They had a slide mocking the Xbox Live Arcade "slot" system, and went to great lengths to show how hard it used to be to get a game onto a Sony platform, before saying most of the roadblocks have been removed.
"We took the process, and I literally have a slide in my presentation that shows the 64 steps that it took to get your content out, and we're trying to take big chunks of that out and squish it down to one or two steps," Adam Boyes, the VP of Publisher and Developer relations at Sony told the Report. "It's just been about taking the entire process, post-morteming it on a regular basis, and making it easier and better."
Boyes also sits down with the developers to ask what "****es them off" about the system. "If you can't sit down with developers and listen to what they have to say, and tie that back into the fixes, you can't succeed," he said. Developers can self-publish their games on Sony's devices, and in many cases the deals signed include promotion at events at shows like GDC, or prime placement on the PlayStation Network.
Boyes leads a team of eight people who pay attention to the indie scene, and they're proactive about getting the games with a large amount of buzz or that they believe in, and signing the content for Sony platforms. They can offer indies an advance against royalties through the PubFund. They've offered to set developers up with dev kits, and to wave the patch fees if "asked nicely."
Sony's GDC was filled with smiling indie royalty, including Retro City Rampage's Brian Provinciano, QWOP and Pole Riders creator Bennett Foddy, and Spelunky creator Derek "Mossmouth" Yu, not to mention Johann Sebastian Joust creator Douglas Wilson and Vlambeer's Rami Ismail playing Joust, for the first time, at an official Sony event.
Sony employees walked the floor beaming, playing games, talking to the press, and introducing everyone to developers. They're not co-opting indie culture as much as they're becoming entrenched in it. Everyone I spoke to seemed to be a true believer.
Nintendo steps up
Nintendo has never been transparent about its business practices, but a recent interview with Nintendo's Dan Adelman outlined many of the changes the company has instituted to make things more friendly for small developers. Developers now get paid from day one, they don't need to wait until sales hit a certain threshold to get a check. There doesn't need to be a retail publisher to release a game on the eShop. Developers are no longer required to work out of physical offices.
"Developers set their own pricing for their Wii U and Nintendo 3DS content. As one example, Little Inferno launched at $14.99," Adelman stated. "They did a sale for $9.99, and it went so well, they decided to make that price change permanent. It's completely in their control."
One developer I spoke with said this change in policy may have come a little late for Nintendo, but it's still a step in the right direction. Being able to control your own pricing, pick your release date, and the affordability of dev kits (Nintendo described the cost as the same as a high-end PC) are all moves that make Nintendo consoles much more attractive to developers.
On the other hand, I spoke with one of the developers working on the upcoming Space Hulk title, and he talked about bringing the game to the PC, Linux, a version for iOS, and he said they're looking at consoles, but it's a prohibitive process, especially on the 360.
"For Microsoft you need to have an XBLA slot, and those are hard to find. Hard to get onto. I don't understand it, but those are the rules. I'm really small, and I'm never going to get a retail slot before an XBLA slot," he told me. They'd have to partner with a publisher who releases retail games, which has its own downsides.
Uber Entertainment recently discussed its history with Microsoft, and the story is a laundry list of how backwards the company has become when dealing with developers. "Uber fixed some bugs and packed up new content to send out to its fans for free, but Microsoft's certification process destroyed the timeliness of the release," Polygon reported.
A public feud over patch fees also erupted around the bugs found in Fez. A number of sources have since come forward to discuss the difficulties of dealing with Microsoft if you're a smaller developer, although few were willing to go on the record with their particular stories.
"It took 35 days from the time we submitted to the time it showed up on people's Xboxes," [Uber's] Ekanayake stated. It wasn't a one-off situation either. Uber worked on another update during this time, which actually made it through the certification process quicker. "It only took 34 days this time"
Developers can bring their games to Steam, or to Sony's platforms, or iOS, or the OUYA, or Nintendo, or some combination of those platforms and others. Each company is making big plays to look more attractive and open to developers, and it's never been easier to get your content onto many different services and be supported by the platform holdes.
It's possible Microsoft will soon make similar moves, but for now the feeling seems to be that Microsoft is acting like a dinosaur, watching all these small animals with fur wandering around the countryside, hoping that they won't go extinct.
I guess overall a good article except it ignores the Windows 8/RT and WP Stores.

NEW YORK, March 27, 2013 – Global public relations leader Porter Novelli announced today that Fred Shank has joined the New York office as senior vice president in the consumer practice.
"Fred has considerable experience in bridging the worlds of brand and corporate public relations," said Darlàn Monterisi, executive vice president, managing director of Porter Novelli's New York office, and to whom Shank will report.

Amanda Bynes Officially Charged for Driving with a Suspended License
We really want to know how Amanda Bynes defines "amazing." After having her car impounded, losing her PR team and the fact that she's still facing DUI charges from her April 6 arrest, we can't imagine that her definition of amazing is the same as ours.
But after all of the recent drama surrounding the former childhood actress, TMZ reports that she has now been officially charged with two counts of driving with a suspended license from her incident outside of the Burbank Airport last Sunday when her car was impounded. We knew it was coming, but how is she going to get through this drama without her lawyer?
To top it all off, in addition to her DUI and suspended license charges, the actress is still facing two hit-and-run charges.
It's looking like Lindsay Lohan might get what she wanted after all.

Quick Review
Gerald Harris (born November 19, 1979) is an American mixed martial artist and former stand-up comedian. He was a cast member of Spike TV's The Ultimate Fighter 7 and had several fights in the UFC before being released from the promotion.
Mixed martial arts
Harris stumbled into mixed martial arts by accident after a friend convinced him to do for fun and with Harris needing money, he agreed. He took an exhibition fight for $200, with the money he bought a "ragged Mustang to get around town." He beat his opponent so badly that he was invited to join the tournament and thus his professional fighting career began in August 2006. Harris won his first five matches before losing a controversial split decision to Fabio Leopoldo in his International Fight League debut.
After being on The Ultimate Fighter, Gerald went to train with Rampage Jackson for five weeks in Liverpool, England, and was very close to signing with Bellator Fighting Championships and taking part in their first season middleweight tournament.
When Gerald fell into financial problems, he was forced to move with his mother to Arizona, resulting in Gerald asking to be cut from his fight team, Team Quest. In Arizona he began training with C.B. Dollaway, Jamie Varner and Ryan Bader at Arizona Combat Sports.[1] He left the team not long after starting and moved to Denver, Colorado to train with Trevor Wittman at the Grudge Training Center.
Harris was on the Spike TV reality show The Ultimate Fighter as a member of Team Rampage. He got on the show by defeating Mike Madallo [2] but lost in the second round to Amir Sadollah, who was the eventual winner of that season.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Harris was signed to the UFC after calling into MMA Junkie Radio with the special guest being President of the UFC, Dana White. Harris called the show, changing his voice, and began praising himself in the third person. Finally, Harris came out and identified himself, then he informed White of his desire to fight for the promotion and told him of his current winning streak. White congratulated Harris and told him to call the office for a talk, the talk entailed getting Harris signed to a four fight deal with the UFC.
He was set to make his debut for the UFC against Mike Massenzio on January 11, 2010 at UFC Fight Night 20, replacing an injured Tim Credeur.[3] Instead he fought John Salter, who stepped in for the injured Massenzio.[4] He would later go on to defeat Salter by TKO in the third round and win Knockout of the Night.
In his second appearance in the UFC, he fought on the UFC Fight Night 21 card against recent signing Mario Miranda. The fight took place March 31, 2010 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Harris won the fight by TKO due to punches in the first round.[5]
Harris next faced Renzo Gracie BJJ black belt, David Branch, on the under card of UFC 116. Harris won via knockout after a brutal slam at 3:25 of the third round. The knockout was awarded "Knockout of the Night," giving Harris his second post fight bonus and an extra $75,000 to his pay.[6] The knockout was also shown on numerous sport's highlight shows, including ESPN's Sportscenter.
Harris was expected to face Alessio Sakara on August 28, 2010 at UFC 118, replacing an injured Jorge Rivera.[7] However, Sakara was also forced off the card with an injury and replaced by Joe Vedepo.[8] Then on August 18, it was announced that the Harris/Vedepo bout had been scrapped from the card.[9] Harris was brought in as an alternative for the week of the event, and was given a fight purse for dieting, training and flying out to Boston.[10]
Once again, Harris faced a UFC newcomer in Maiquel Falcão on November 20, 2010 at UFC 123[11] Harris lost the fight via unanimous decision and, in a surprising move to many observers, was subsequently released by the promotion

Torah Covers Guide
The Torah is the most sacred text in Judaism and consequently is decorated and adorned with sterling silver and, gold ornaments as well as other items the underscore its importance. One of those items is a Torah Cover, which has a functional as well as decorative purpose.
What is a Torah Cover?
A Torah Cover is a decorative garment-like ornament that is placed over the top handles of a Torah Scroll and covers the entire scroll with the exception of its handles. The Torah Cover can have any number of decorations or themes that are incorporated into its design.
Materials Used
Torah Covers have a wooden top that has two holes in it that is overlaid with velvet. The holes fit over the top handles of the Torah Scroll and sits directly over the Torah. The cover section is made from velvet and silk. Aside for specific sterling silver ornaments that are occasionally used in a Torah Cover, most of its decorations are embroidered in colored thread.
Torah Covers are brightly decorated and can be decorated with nearly any Judaica item or scene. Some of the most common decorations on the front of a Torah Cover include lions holding the Luchot – Tablets in English – that have Hebrew letters or text on them a Hebrew words or verses relating to the Torah and sit beneath a large crown. The verses frequently found on the front of Torah Covers include "From Zion comes the Torah" and the words "Keter Torah", which means "Torah Crown" and refers to its use as a Torah scroll decoration.
Other decorations found on Torah covers include traditional Judaica items such Stars of David, Jerusalem, Menorahs, Floral Patterns and Pillars. Gateways, especially the "Vilna Gateway", are popular Torah Cover decorations and this mainly because of the fact that Vilna Gateway adorns the outer cover of the Talmud, an integral text that is part of the Rabbinic Traditions and oral law.
Many Synagogues have Torah Covers that are specifics for the different seasons and holidays during the Jewish Year and thus feature objects and verses that are prominent during that season of the year. Consequently, Torah Covers also feature the Four Species waved on Sukkot, the Burning Bush or Splitting of the Dead Sea for Passover and a simple white cover for the High Holidays of Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur.
Torah Covers are often given as gifts to a Synagogue and as such are usually dedicated in memory of a loved one or in honor of a special event such as a wedding or birth of a child. Consequently, Torah Covers can be personalized with Torah verses that relate to the even or person being honored and embroidered with their name in the center or across the bottom.

Torah Covers
The Torah is the most valuable Judaica item since it is considered to be the word of G-d and source of Jewish Law. Thus, Torahs are decorated with some of the most expensive materials available on the market, such a sterling silver and gold. The most expensive cloth is used as well to decorate the Torah and this is usually in the form of Torah covers.Torah covers come in two major shapes – as cases and as covers. Torah Cases are elaborate wooden containers used in Sephardic communities that have a Torah Scroll directly attached to the case. These cases are usually either lacquered and painted with Judaica motifs such as scenes from the Bible, Jerusalem and the like or are made from Sterling Silver and have floral patterns, filigree pattern or the same designs as painted cases as well as Judaica items such as Menorahs. Torah cases are usually have sterling silver ornaments such as Rimonim attached to their tops.
Torah covers are typically used in Ashkenazi Jewish communities and are cloth covers that cover the closed Torah scroll. These covers are typically made from velvet and are decorated with embroidered names of loved ones or with floral patterns as well as lions, the Luchot and scenes of Jerusalem. However, other materials such as felt and silk are commonly used as well.
If you would like to memorialize a loved one, consider a Torah cover that is embroidered with the Judaica symbol that represented that person together with his name. As an alternative, use a verse from the Torah that speaks of the divinity of the scroll.World of Judaica invites you to browse our collection of Torah covers and cases. Feel free to search through other Judaica religious items such as Judaica Tallit. If you have any questions regarding a specific item, contact us and we will be happy to address your concerns.

Jul 10, Earth/Earth Sciences
The amount of solar energy absorbed by the surface of the Antarctic continent is determined by the snow's albedo, in other words by its 'whiteness'. The albedo, in turn, depends on the size of the snow grains. In a process that is familiar to physicists, once the fine particles of snow are deposited on the surface they tend to become larger, at a rate that increases with temperature. The coarsening of the grains leads to a fall in albedo, which causes temperatures to rise. Climatologists have long been aware of the importance of this positive feedback mechanism.

Iggy Azalea's recent styling has been capturing our attention. Her outfits are so quirky, but her footwear choices are hot! In fact, when we featured her here twice before, she was in sweatpants and in striking heels — one pair from Versace and the other from Giuseppe Zanotti. Her shoes are gorgeous and impressive, but we don't really agree with their pairing with sweatpants, which don't seem to give justice to the footwear!
We're hoping that Iggy would wear dresses, skirts, or perhaps cropped pants next time because she really has an interesting shoe collection; she just doesn't know how to flaunt their entire beauty.
Our most recent sighting of the hip-hop recording artist was outside the BBC Radio 1 studios in London, United Kingdom on May 31. Check out the photos below, and tell us what you think.
Iggy Azalea seen leaving BBC Radio 1 in London, United Kingdom on May 31, 2013
Do you like the green suit but not the pink heels, or is it the other way around? I personally like her choice of green suit here, and it's very much into the 2013 trend. Her tee looks cool, too! But then, I think black shoes would have looked better with her outfit. Not that I don't like her light pink boots; they just didn't match her ensemble, except her lip shade.
The boots, called the "Revers" by Balenciaga, are very pretty and girly in pink leather. They're modern in silhouette, with flirty open toes and a cutout design at the ankles. They even have turnovers at the front that reveal a contrast white leather material; however, Iggy (again) didn't showcase that detail as she chose to hide the design under her pants. Oh dear! Anyway, black heels and soles complete these color-blocked booties.
It's a good thing that we found photos of these Balenciaga boots; at least you'll be able to see their full design here.

I've never found a Coolpix I didn't like. This one is wow with faster shutter speed, the continuous sports mode and telephoto ZOOM! It's a super toy and a serious tool.
This Nikon Coolpix Zoom Digital Camera is top of the line and takes amazing picture with ease. I really like the lenses that this camera came with but have bought a few extra for different angels. Although some of the directions were hard to understand at first I was on my way to mastering this camera within a few hours. The camera really does wonders when taking portraits especially but you will be amazed at the quality. If you are good at taking pictures or know a good shot when you see it you will find that this camera can accent any shot.

I bought this after I broke my stock axle jumping, I liked the extra width and stability of the axle. I also broke this axle after what seemed like a short amount of time. The Dura Blue warranty was great, I paid for the shipping and received a new axle. They did not replace the +2, however this axle has lasted quite a bit longer.Read All Reviews

Phoenix Suns
Suns enter Summer League play with veteran roster
LAS VEGAS - When Jeff Hornacek agreed to coach the Phoenix Suns' entry in the NBA Summer League, the goal was twofold: gain experience as a first-year head coach and gain a jump on the upcoming season thanks to a roster loaded with current players.
"We show them how hard we're going to work and they're going to have to be ready to do that," he said.
It started this week with two-a-day practices over a three-day minicamp at US Airways Center.
It will continue now with at least five games over the next 10 days in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
Kendall Marshall, who appeared in 48 games last season, joins Marcus (77 games) and Markieff Morris (82 games, 32 starts), P.J. Tucker (79 games, 45 starts) plus Diante Garrett (19 games) on the team's 12-man roster, which also includes draft picks Archie Goodwin and Alex Oriakhi.
"We definitely have, I guess you could say, a veteran Summer League team; guys that have been here before," said Marshall, who started three games last season. "We're excited. We're not just coming in here to play a couple of games and get out of here. We want to win. We want to play together and get off on the right foot for the season."
For Tucker, who signed a free agent contract with the Suns based on his Summer League play a year ago, it's all about the workout.
"Get in here," he said, "get in shape early so going into August, September, going into camp, be 100 percent in shape and be able to really get after it."
The Suns' first game is Saturday against Portland.
Having this many veterans playing not only helps those players, but also serves as a great example to those getting their first pro experience, according to Hornacek.
"It's going to be huge because these guys are used to doing it a certain way," he said. "They're probably going to struggle a little bit with the stuff we're doing just because it's something new and they're ingrained in doing it the old way, but the old way wasn't working.
"We're putting a little pressure on them to maybe take it to another level in terms of their intensity in what we're asking them to do offensively and defensively."
Hornacek added he isn't necessarily concerned about numbers, though last summer Marshall led all players by averaging 6.5 assists, while Markieff Morris was second in rebounding (9.8) and 10th in scoring (19.8).
"You expect them to improve," Hornacek said. "You expect them to go out there and kind of be your main guys. But again, being the main guy doesn't mean that you don't do all the little things that help all the other guys. We're not out here just to train those three or four guys. We want to play a right way, a team game. If they go out there and they don't get any shots, but get ten assists, I'll be happy with that."

Law of equal liberty
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2007)
The law of equal liberty (a.k.a. the law of equal freedom), or equal liberty, is a doctrine first named, though not first conceived, by Herbert Spencer in Social Statics (1851) which says "that every man may claim the fullest liberty to exercise his faculties compatible with the possession of like liberty to every other man." Stated another way by Spencer, "each has freedom to do all that he wills provided that he infringes not the equal freedom of any other."[1]
Spencer derived the principle on a belief in the principles of scientific evolution. He believed that human happiness was an intrinsically developed emotion. He held that "man's purpose can be obtained only by the exercise of his faculties" and therefore that exercise must be a human right. Restraining the liberty of someone else prevents him from pursuing happiness. In order for this to be a universal ethic, or a moral code that applies to all individuals rather than just some, it would have to apply to all individuals. Therefore, if an individual restrains another individual from doing the same, then he has overstepped his rights. As a result, rights are equalized among all people.

Mogadishu — The National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) has expressed great shock and outrage over the murder this evening of young radio journalist in Galkayo, Mudug region.
Ali Ahmed Abdi, 26, was shot dead by unknown hooded gunmen while walking in Is-Raac neighborhood of northern Galkayo around Hotel Guure. He was a reporter for Radio Galkayo until recently.
"This is an outrageous and brazen act of cruelty committed against a young journalist and his killers must not be held above the law," said Omar Faruk Osman, NUSOJ Secretary General.
Ali Ahmed Abdi was a member of NUSOJ northeastern branch and has been campaigning for seeking justice for victim journalists after his colleague Horriyo Abdulkadir of Radio Galkayo was fatally wounded in the same town.
"It is very urgent that those who care Somalia and its journalism community to send a clear message that those who murder, threaten or harm Somali journalists, no matter if they are politicians or rogue elements, that they will be brought to justice and are not immune from prosecution," said Osman.
"It is very agonizing period that we have lost a colleague in every single month of this a year. We repeat that targeting Somali journalists for carrying out their professional duties must be ended and all Somali journalists must be able to work in safe conditions and not fear reprisal," added Osman.
This death brings the total number of Somali journalists killed in this year to three as Abdi sadly becomes 30th journalist murdered in Somalia since 2007. On 28 February, Abukar Hassan Mohamoud Kadaf, Director of Somaliweyn Radio, was murdered at his home in Mogadishu.
