Two weeks ago, the largest hurricane in living memory roared through the New York region, wiping out coastal dune systems on this end of Long Island and entire neighborhoods on the other.
As a result, Southampton town officials held a special work session last Thursday to revisit a proposed beach re-nourishment project in the Bridgehampton and Sagaponack erosion control districts.
The districts were authorized by the town board back in 2010 as part of a comprehensive plan to combat beach erosion on the south shore. The project aims to use beach nourishment to preserve a six-mile stretch of beachfront property which includes about 190 homes and five public properties.
But protection doesn't come cheap. The proposed restoration is expected to cost several million dollars (much of it paid by homeowners themselves through creation of a new tax district) and it has been the subject of five public hearings over the past two years. Discussions stalled after several homeowners requested exemption from the proposed project, citing their opposition to paying the special taxes that would have resulted from approval of this plan.
According to Jennifer Garvey, an aide to Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst, the town is working with State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. on legislation to provide opposing property owners with tax relief. Garvey said the town board is prepared to move forward with the project, but has been waiting until the legislation passed — expected to be January 2014 at the earliest — to hold the vote on it.
But in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, significant erosion was reported by homeowners, so the town is attempting to speed up the restoration process.
"These homeowners have spent substantial money doing these temporary fixes [following the storm]," Supervisor Throne-Holst explained, "and for that reason, they are all the more eager to see us move forward with the proposed project, which is a long term project to shore up our beaches."
On Thursday, coastal erosion scientist Dr. Timothy Kana, founder and president of Coastal Science & Engineering in Columbia, S.C., addressed the effects of Hurricane Sandy on his comprehensive, 10 year plan for restoring and preserving the districts. The proposed project would add 2,127,500 cubic yards of sand to the shoreline.
Kana's initial report outlined three restorative scenarios — low, middle, and upper — to determine how much sand would need to be placed on the beach. The Sagaponack Beach Erosion Control District elected the upper-level scenario, which requires the most sand and thus the highest expense.
Initially, the Bridgehampton Beach Erosion Control District chose the mid-level scenario. Following the effects of Hurricane Sandy, however, Bridgehampton has elected to increase the amount of sand to an upper-level scenario, in turn increasing the project's projected total cost of $24 million by about $1.3 million.
Members of the town board met with Kana and other environmental specialists to discuss the storm's impact on the original plans and proposed increasing the project's maximum tax line.
"We now have a firsthand look at what happens and can happen after a storm like this," Throne-Holst told the audience.
She also emphasized the economic importance of beaches as a foundation of the town's tax base.
"[The homeowners] have asked us to move this forward," she said, "I personally think we need to move it forward, too."
Southampton Town Chief Environmental Analyst Marty Shea outlined the effects of Hurricane Sandy on the coastal districts. Shea called the damage very severe, citing the narrow width of the beach in many areas. According to Shea, homeowners will find it difficult to reconstruct protective dune lines under the present conditions.
"The best protection in this situation is to have a wide beach," Shea told the board Thursday, "and that's what the intent of the Erosion Control District Beach Re-nourishment plan is — to extend the width of that beach seaward."
Shea maintains that preserving the dune system is impossible without a wide beach to sustain it.
He also discussed individual landowners' efforts to build temporary storm relief and the financial and structural benefits of a joint restoration effort. To protect their homes from the recent storms, many residents have constructed temporary sand berms. Shea attests that, without unity in undertaking these projects, the location of the dune lines are inconsistent.
He admitted the berms provide temporary relief, but insists they have neither the quantity nor quality of sand required for substantial re-nourishment. Homeowners are willing to stabilize their properties at their own expense in the short term, he said, but ultimately hope to see a collective, long term plan in place.
When asked by the board how the impact of Hurricane Sandy would have differed had the re-nourishment project already been in place, Shea said, "Sandy has accelerated our agenda."
He attributed damage to the width of the beach, stating, "Everywhere that had a narrow beach, there is no dune at all and the beach itself is compromised."
Shea relayed his involvement in a similar nourishment project in Westhampton Dunes 20 years ago. Prior to implementation, storm damage consisted of two breaches through the barrier island and 120 damaged houses.
Following Hurricane Sandy, the district incurred "absolutely no structural damage to any home [and] absolutely no loss to the dune itself."
Shea asked the board to compare this outcome with the damage seen in Bridgehampton and Sagaponack.
Dr. Kana further underlined the necessity of a long term nourishment plan. Kana has been involved in over 30 beach restoration projects, primarily along the eastern seaboard. His plan for the erosion control districts center around maintaining what he calls a "literal budget" of sand. Kana asserts that sustaining a level of sand on the beach continuously fortifies the dunes, which serve as the best protection against washovers and other storm damage.
He pointed to North Carolina's Outer Banks region, an area he alleges slowed beach erosion substantially in the 1930s through similar measures to push up the dunes.
Ultimately, the proposed project aims to lessen the annual costs of protection for beachfront homeowners. According to Garvey, if the proposed restoration plan is enacted, "the cost over many years will be less than the cost of putting emergency berms in over and over. [Coastal residents are] paying tens of thousands of dollars for emergency protections, so you can understand why they are very anxious at this point."
Town officials view the measure as a long term investment for the safety of personal homes and the recreational enjoyment of public beaches. In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, proponents have asked the town to move forward with the proposed project.
A public hearing on the proposed increase to the districts' tax lines will take place on Tuesday, November 27 at 6 p.m.

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.BAMENDA, CAMEROON - Delly Nji, 24, is married and the mother of four children. She says she became pregnant with her first child at age 13 after being raped. But she says she didn't realize it at the time. "At that age, I didn't even know what sex was," Nji says. She says that her grandmother had sent her to the farm to harvest yams. While at the farm, an older and bigger boy from their village held her down and forced himself on her. When she got home, she says she didn't tell her parents. She says that the boy had threatened her not to tell anyone, and she didn't realize what he had done to her. "I did not know what the boy had done to me," she says. "I only remember how much pain I felt in my private part, but the pain disappeared after a couple of days." Some months after the incident, Nji's parents discovered that her stomach was growing bigger. They realized she was pregnant. She says her parents beat her, which she says is common when teenage girls get pregnant here. She says they demanded the name of the man who impregnated her, but Nji didn't know. She still did not quite understand what had happened to her months back on the farm. After days of interrogation, her mother asked her if any man had ever lain on top of her. It was then that Nji shared the experience of what happened to her on the farm. By this time, the news that she had been raped and was pregnant had spread around the community. The boy who raped her escaped to another village, and no one in Nji's village has seen him since. Soon after she gave birth to her first son. Doctors say that because false reports of rape are common, victims must receive a medical examination to prove the rape occurred, in addition to medical care. After confirmation from a doctor, victims can then file a report with the police who investigate the case and forward it to the justice system. But lawyers admit that few cases result in convictions here. Many cases also go unreported because of the stigma attached to rape, ties to the perpetrators, and lack of financial and personal resources to pursue cases. Reseau National Des Associations de Tantine, RENATA, a national network of more than 10,000 young unwed mothers working against sexual violence, carried out a survey in 2009 on the incidence of rape in Cameroon with the German Technical Cooperation, now part of the German Society for International Cooperation, which supports the German government in international cooperation for sustainable development. According to the survey, 20 percent of the nearly 38,000 women surveyed reported having been raped. Another 14 percent said they had escaped a rape attempt. The survey found that most victims know their perpetrators. Rape affects more than 5 percent of girls and women in Cameroon, says Georgette Arrey Taku, 28, executive secretary of RENATA. Martin Sangnyuy, a police officer, says the police station where he works in Bamenda's third district receives a rape report at least once a month. But authorities say that many reports are false. Dr. Nji Peter has been the owner and resident medical officer at Family Foundation Clinic in Bamenda for 18 years. During this time, he says he has only been able to confirm one case of rape. "I have quite a good number of young that come to this clinic with claims that they have been raped," he says. "When we run our tests, we find out that it is not the case." He says that mothers usually bring daughters ages 5 to 10 years old into the clinic, saying the girls have been raped. "When the girls are examined, we find out [there] may have been an attempt at rape but not rape," he says. As for teenage girls, Peter says that some of the girls come to the clinic for a sympathetic ear, pretending to be rape victims. Though how he determines the symptoms of rape versus attempted rape are not clear. "Some of them come to our clinics already pregnant," he says. "And when they make a claim that they have been raped, most times our examinations prove otherwise." Peter says the one rape he was able to confirm occurred seven years ago. The girl was 16. After confirming the incident through an examination, he says he tested her for pregnancy, HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. The tests came back negative, and the girl asked him not to inform her parents. In addition to running these tests after an examination confirms the rape occurred, doctors put victims on emergency contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and post-exposure prophylaxis, a short-term antiretroviral treatment, to prevent HIV infection. But advocates say the reality of confirming one rape case in 18 years is unrealistic. According to the UN Commission on the Status of Women, one in three women is sexually abused in her lifetime. What's more, the culture of shame a skepticism that surrounds rape her increases the reality that victims will recount their charges or simply not come forward at all, according to a World Health Organization study on women's health and domestic violence. Women who become pregnant as a result of rape can obtain a government waiver to obtain an abortion, which is usually illegal in Cameroon. Doctors also issue a medical certificate to prove the rape occurred, which victims can take to the police to report the incident. But Peter says that public hospitals don't always follow the protocol for handling rape victims. He says that usually the nurses there just put rape victims on antibiotics and send them home. This falls short of the ideal procedure, he says. Sangnyuy says the Cameroon Penal Code sets the protocol for handling rape cases. According to the Cameroon Penal Code, "Whoever by force or moral ascendancy compels any female, whether above or below the age of puberty to have sexual intercourse with him shall be punished with imprisonment for from five to ten years." The sentence is increased to 15 to 25 years when the victim is younger than 16, even if she consents, or up to life in prison if the offender has authority over the victim, is a public servant or religion minister or was assisted by others. Marital rape is not illegal as long as the marriage was freely consented to between the rapist and the victim and the victim was of age at the time of the rape. When victims come to the police station to report a rape, the police first refer them to the hospital for a medical examination. Sangnyuy says that the hospital records determine whether a girl has actually been raped. "Sometimes girls can blow a false alarm that they were raped when it's untrue," he says. When the victim comes to the police station with the medical report, the police search for the perpetrator, he says. The police forward the case to the state counsel and then to the courts. Bong A. Divine is a lawyer with Monie Wakai & Associates Law Firm in Bamenda. During the nine years that he has practiced law, he has handled three rape cases. The most recent case he defended was last year. He says his client, a 23-year-old woman, reported her case a couple of hours after the incident. Following the protocol that lawyers observe in their practice, Divine says that once he received the complaint, he set out to gather information and evidence. This included asking the woman about the circumstances and her reaction and obtaining a medical report to confirm that the rape occurred. Next, Divine says he filed a formal complaint to the state counsel for the alleged culprit to be apprehended. He says the case was tried in court, and the culprit was found guilty and sentenced to three years in jail. Divine says that this is the only rape case he has handled that proceeded to the end and resulted in a sentencing of the defendant. "My client was lucky, and she benefited from the empathy of the presiding judge, police investigator and prosecutor, who all happened to be women," Divine says. But Divine says that most victims don't usually report rape incidents. He says this is a result of many reasons, including poverty. "Most victims are poor and can't afford lawyers' fees," he says. "Averagely, lawyers charge 150,000 francs CFA [$300], and the amount could be more if the case is adjourned repeatedly." But he says that most times, victims can seek a sponsor or sympathizer to pay the lawyers' fees for them. Of the 33 cases of rape reported to the Bamenda High Court between 2004 and 2007, just two resulted in sentences, according to a 2009 analysis supervised by RENATA and published by German Technical Cooperation. Sangnyuy says that the protocol for reporting is effective, but that many times the rapists escape after the act and can't be brought to justice. Also, when the rapist is a family member or friend of the victim, he says the cases rarely reach the police because families guard the secret and settle the problem within their family circles. Beryl, who declined to give her last name, is a 31-year-old secondary school teacher. She says her colleague raped her and this is the first time she has told anyone about it. She and her colleague had been having dinner at her apartment.After dinner, he forced himself on her despite her desperate pleas for him to stop. She says she had bruises around her vagina. She bought nonprescription drugs from a roadside drugstore because she did not want to go to a hospital. She did not report the case and has kept it a secret. "I feel it's pointless to report the case," she says. "No one will believe me. Also, I don't have the strength nor extra money to follow up the case." Her countenance gets dull, and there is a blank stare in her eyes as she speaks. She says she the incident, which happened more than nine months ago, still causes her pain. She says she considers all men with contempt and doesn't dream of ever getting married. Taku says that RENATA educates its members about their sexual rights and advocates for the respect of these rights. The association has a special unit that focuses on rape. "Some of our members - young unwed mothers - had their babies from rape incidences," she says. The unit's main campaign against rape from 2009 to date has been raising awareness that rape is a crime and victims must denounce their rapists. "We have made much progress through this campaign," she says. "Silence by rape victims is being broken. We have more victims calling our SOS Rape hotline for counseling and help. Our helpline is available 24/7." Jacinta Tete, 31, is a member of RENATA. She says she was first raped at the age of 4. Through RENATA, she teaches kids in nursery and primary school about their bodies, introduces gender knowledge to them and speaks about preventing gender-based violence. She also encourages victims to speak out, seek justice and put an end to rape. Beryl says that opening up to share her story for the first time since it happened makes her feel lighter on the inside.

Notes to Editors:
Royal Albert HallThe Royal Albert Hall is the world's most famous stage. Its breathtaking auditorium hosts over 380 shows a year by the world's greatest artists. The magical atmosphere
combined with inspired artists creates legendary events. Opened in 1871 as part of Prince Albert's vision for a centre for the Arts and Sciences, and a registered charity operating without public funding, it remains true to his founding ambitions within a modern context. Extending the brand with over 150 events outside the auditorium, the Hall has broadened its appeal to younger, diverse audiences whilst still engaging its existing customers.
In 2009, the Hall renovated the Elgar Room as a state-of-the-art performance space and restaurant which now hosts performances of classical music, jazz and world music, comedy, dance and hush, a series of gigs for just signed bands throughout the year. It also works extensively with schools and young people through its Learning and Participation programme, reaching over 30,000 participants each year.
The Elgar RoomBuilt to support one of the Hall's main purposes to promote the advancement of the Arts & Sciences, the West Theatre - as this room was originally known - provided space for small theatricals and meetings of a scientific or literary nature. From 1906 until 1957 it was the home of the Central School of Speech And Drama where luminaries such as Laurence Olivier, Vanessa Redgrave, Judi Dench, Virginia McKenna and Harold Pinter received their training. In 2009 the room was renovated to provide a state-of-the-art performance space and restaurant. The photographs by David Redfern that adorn the walls are images of some of the iconic performers who have graced the stage at the Royal Albert Hall. Among the regular series that are held in the room are Late Night Jazz, Classical Coffee Mornings and hush which gives a platform to rising stars on the UK music scene.

(PRWEB UK) 17 January 2013
Following an increase in enquiries, Hidden Hearing has released details of binaural hearing and its advantages.
While many people may already wear one hearing aid, for those with hearing loss in both ears – a binaural amplification could provide the most benefit.
Hidden Hearing explains the benefits of binaural hearing:
1. Better understanding of speech
Research has shown that when using just one hearing device, some noises and speech can sound alike and create confusion. With two devices, many clients report that the clarity of their hearing when listening to speech is far better than with just one.
2. Directional ability
With two devices, customers often find that they are able to more accurately tell which direction sounds are coming from, and even how far away they might be. An important safety aspect, this is a great advantage to users who are routinely in environments with lots of traffic, for instance, or where several people are talking at once.
3. Greater listening comfort
With two hearing devices working in unison, clients are able to use a lower volume setting on their hearing aids, leading to better comfort levels and reducing the chances of feedback.
With more than 40 years' experience in treating hearing loss, Hidden Hearing is entrusted with the care of more than 100,000 people each year. The firm has 84 hearing centres across the UK, all catering for a range of needs and budgets. Specialising in hearing tests and hearing aids, the company also offer a variety of hearing aid accessories and in 2005, became the first dedicated hearing retailer to be recognised as an Investor in People.

Johannesburg — A total of 73.9% of the matriculants who sat for the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations in 2012 passed their exams.
"It gives me great pleasure to announce that the matric pass rate for 2012 is 73.9%... A hearty congratulations to the matrics," said Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga on Wednesday.
This represents an improvement of 3.7% from 2011's pass rate of 70.2%.
Motshekga, who announced the 2012 NSC results at the SABC's Radio Park in Auckland Park, said significant measures had been taken to encourage the momentous improvement in the results.
"To the learners who have excelled, the world is your oyster... To those who did not, there is room for improvement," she said, reminding learners of the various options that were available to them to help improve their results.
Motshekga assured the nation that it was by no means an easy feat to pass matric nowadays as suggested in some media reports, saying the pass requirements would be posted on the department's website.
Echoing Motshekga's congratulatory message, Basic Education Deputy Minister Enver Surty said officials were clear about what needed to be done to help further improve the results.
"There is a lot that needs to be done and we have to buckle up [and get it done]. I'd like to congratulate the class of 2012 for their achievements... For those who didn't make it, there surely is a second chance," said Surty.
In 2012, 623 897 candidates sat for the NSC exams compared to 496 090 in 2011. More than 7.8 million question papers were printed and sent to exam centres, while 7.4 million scripts were distributed to marking centres as part of the national exams.
The Department of Basic Education had earlier welcomed the Council for Quality Assurance in General and Further Education and Training's declaration that the 2012 NSC exams were fair, valid and credible.
The body, also known as Umalusi, is tasked with the development and management of a sub-framework of qualifications for general and further education and training and for the attendant quality assurance.
In 2012, 26.6% of Grade 12 learners qualified for Bachelor's studies - an increase from the year before when the figure was 24.3%.
Furthermore, there was noteworthy improvement in the key subjects. The Maths pass rate for 2012 stood at 54%, up from 46.3% in 2011. Physical Science passes went up to 61.3% from 53.4% in 2011.
The pass rate in Accounting stood at 65.6%, while a 75.8% pass rate was recorded for Geography. Economics stood at 72.8%, while the passes for History were at 86%.
Motshekga thanked the department's social partners for their continued support, saying they were ready to do even more in the coming year to ensure the continued upward trend for the national pass rate.
"We are ready for 2013... We will continue to focus on the 3Ts - text, teachers and time," she said.

D.C. Weather Forecast: Awesome End to the Week; Big Weekend Changes
Sunny and pleasant to end the work week followed by cooler and unsettled conditions to end this weekend.
Friday:Mostly Sunny, Low Humidity & Delightful!
Highs: 80°-85° | Wind: WSW 5-10
Saturday: AM Sun Gives Way to Clouds, Breezy, 30% Chance of Afternoon Rain
Highs: 73°-78° | Wind: Bec. NW 10-15+
Sunday: Overcast, Cold & Raw, Showers Likely (60% Chance)
Highs: 53°-58° | Wind: N 5 -10
As high pressure moves closer to the region we will enjoy delightful weather with abundant sunshine, warm temperatures in the low 80s, and, thankfully, low humidity. The weekend will bring significant changes, however, as the high pressure cell pushes eastward and a cold front approaches the area. After some morning sunshine, clouds will increase Saturday with showers possible in the afternoon ahead of the front. The clouds and showers will keep temperatures a bit cooler with highs in the mid-70s.
Once the front clears the area, Sunday will bring a drastic change with highs only in the 50s along with considerable cloud cover and rain showers. The cooler-than-average weather will persist into Monday although the return of sunshine will make it feel more tolerable. Have a great weekend!

Gabriel Calderon has left his post as Real Betis manager following relegation to the Segunda Division, the club have confirmed. The former Argentinian international, whose contract expired on 30 June, only took over at the Estadio Benito Villamarin in January but could not stop the Andalucian outfit going down, winning just four of his league games in charge.
"Gabriel Humberto Calderon will not be professionally linked to Real Betis from July 1," read a statement on the club's official website. "The coach had a meeting last week with president Manuel Dominguez Platas and vice president Fernando Casas to tell them of his intention to take another direction."
Betis finished the season 15 points adrift of safety.

October 28, 2010 — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is playing a growing role in health information technology.
Of its more than $430 million IT budget about $130 million go to state and local governments through grants to improve the ability to share data.
Jim Seligman, the CDC chief information officer, said the agency plays a big role in enabling data exchange between the health care world and immunization registries, around bio surveillance and with electronic lab data exchanges for clinics and public health organizations.
This is part of the reason CDC opened its recently awarded $5 billion IT services contract to state and local governments, Seligman said.
Seligman said he also is focused internally on finishing rolling out secure identity cards and remediate applications to allow for more single sign-on and logical access to the network.
Seligman said CDC also has jumped into the Web 2.0 world with both feet and is seeing benefits in how it communicates with the public about health issues.

THE absence of a Board of Directors is said to have affected tendering initiatives at the Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS), including the tender for pre-shipment inspection of imported, used vehicles.
The Board, which among other things is mandated to authorize floatation of such tenders, was disbanded by the Minister for Industry and Trade, Dr Abdallah Kigoda, about four months ago. Dr Kigoda disbanded the Board citing inefficiency and lack of accountability.
He promised to form a new, more dynamic one as soon as possible. One of the crucial functions likely to be affected if the board is kept on hold for long is the inspection of used motor vehicles from abroad. Reports say that the contracts of companies authorized to carry out the inspection expired in December last year.
The companies initially signed a one-year contract with TBS to conduct the pre-shipment inspection of motor vehicles in various countries abroad and cannot resume the services or other companies appointed to take over until the Board gives its consent.
The other sensitive duty that is awaiting the Board's approval is the recent decision by the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA). The Complaints and Review Committee (CRC) ordered TBS to restart the process on tendering for provision of pre-shipment verification of conformity to standards (PVoC) for used motor vehicles.
CRC's decision on the matter followed a request by the Japan Export Vehicle Inspection Centre Co. Ltd (JEVIC) which last year applied for an administrative review against TBS regarding the tendering process. According to facts submitted to the Committee, JEVIC was aggrieved by the decision to disqualify it from bidding for the tender on grounds that it violated some bidding procedures.
Contacted on the matter, the TBS Acting Director General, Mr Leandri Kinabo, said his office had already received PPRA's directives on the matter but cannot do anything until it obtains a go-ahead from the Board of Directors which apparently doesn't exist at the moment.
"We are aware of the directives and actually we officially received it but we are waiting for the Board's guidance on how we can go about it," Mr Kinabo said in a phone interview yesterday. Apart from the directive, Mr Kinabo also admitted that the action on vehicle inspection companies will have to be held pending the appointment of the new Board.
However, he was quick to add that with the absence of the Board, TBS can seek the guidance of the minister or the Permanent Secretary of the ministry on how to go about the issues. "We were expecting the Board to be appointed soon. But this has not happened and it is a challenge," he admitted.
Efforts to contact Minister Kigoda to shed more light on the matter failed as he is reportedly attending an international meeting on standardization matters in Arusha.
Addressing a press conference soon after he disbanded TBS Board last year, Minister Kigoda said the decision to disband the TBS's board of directors basically aimed at enhancing productivity in regulating the standards of goods. He said that the government would be keen in forming a new instrument that would deliver according to the set goals and objectives.
Apart from lack of the Board, TBS is now headed by the Acting DG after the former boss, Mr Charles Ekelege, was suspended to pave way for investigations over a number of alleged irregularities and financial mismanagement in TBS, based on the Controller and Auditor General (CAG))'s report.
Speaking to reporters soon after his Board was disbanded; the former Board Chairman, Mr Oliver Mhaiki, told the 'Daily News' that he was unaware of the reasons behind the minister's decision to disband the board. "We were performing our duties properly.
I don't know the reasons that prompted the minister's decision," he said. Other board members were Mr Donald Chidowu, Mr Rashid A. Salim, Dr Bertha Maegga, Mr Odilo Majengo, Prof. Ntengua Mdoe, Mr Peter Machunde, Mr Godfrey Mariki, Ms Suzy Laizer, Ms Elpina Mlaki, and Mr George Simbachawene.

Hiroshi Nakajima, the director-general of the WHO, has ordered an investigation into possible financial irregularities in the organisation's activities. According to the WHO, the inquiry was ordered 'immediately after (the director-general) was informed that financial irregularities involving certain contracts might have occurred'.
The investigation will be carried out by internal auditors and by the WHO's external auditor, John Bourn. Nakajima will make the findings public. A WHO spokesman refused to give further details of the inquiry.
President of the WHO's executive board, Jean-Francois Girard told a board meeting that he had been informed that possible irregularities had taken place 'over the past few months'. Girard said, 'It pains me to see the WHO's image tarnished by detrimental rumours.'
Last month Nakajima was re-elected for a second term after a bitterly fought campaign against his former deputy Mohamed Abdelmoumene of Algeria. Executive board members from small developing countries were alleged to ...

14 Stations Photography by David Michalek
The photographer David Michalek derived the concept of 14 Stations from the longstanding artistic tradition of the fourteen Stations of the Cross, also known as the Via Dolorosa or Via Crucis. This series of images, which originated in medieval Europe, depicts fourteen episodes unfolding in the hours from Christ's condemnation by Pontius Pilate to his death at Calvary. Many of the Stations are based on specific passages in the Gospels. As a whole, they are a focus of devotional exercises in the Catholic religion and are often placed on the walls of churches and chapels, or built into wayside shrines leading to places of pilgrimage.
It is the portrayal of Christ as a suffering human being—visualized in a direct, immediate manner—that made images of the Stations of the Cross an enduring feature of Christian devotion. In the spirit of this tradition, David Michalek selected the theme as a starting point to give testimony to the endurance and dignity of certain individuals in our own time who undergo suffering. He has chosen to focus specifically on the dire effects of homelessness. Michalek collaborated with men and women who have been homeless and who are affiliated with the Interfaith Assembly on Homelessness and Housing, a New York–based non-profit organization.
In the Middle Ages, groups of Catholics acted out the episodes of the Stations of the Cross as a devotional pageant, reenacting Christ's journey to the Crucifixion in order to comprehend the nature of his suffering. Similarly, in Michalek's project on view here, participants enacted each Station, with different individuals—men and women alike—assuming Christ's role in each. The artist then photographed the resulting scenes, sometimes bringing out a conceptual, if not a literal, relationship to how that Station has been portrayed in the past.
As Michalek says, "14 Stations is an attempt to give individuals who have suffered an opportunity to process that experience through the framework of a spiritual model. Such an art is not redemptive in itself, but hopefully it contributes to the recognition of the spiritual vocation of being human."

Artistic Process
"Not every effort will be a final one. Try one thing, then another, then another, then another—like sculpture. Sculpt the piece. Find the form. Look for it. What it should be. But maybe that certainty came too early. Stay open to a change. Let the piece become what it can be."
David Michalek
During his process of collaborating with members of the Interfaith Assembly on Homelessness and Housing in 2003 to create 14 Stations, David Michalek recorded its creative evolution in detailed notebooks (one of which is displayed in this exhibition). There, he jotted down his ideas, drew sketches, and pasted fragments of photographs and poetry written by his partners, ultimately developing the final images of the series.
Michalek's notes reveal that he did not simply follow the established iconography of the fourteen scenes, but rather created an indepen-dent, personal statement. He saw traditional representations from the past as a point of departure, reinterpreting their meaning for the time we live in. However, traditional versions of the Stations of the Cross were discussed with the group, and the responses of the individual members were taken into account. In addition, Michalek and his volunteers engaged in broader discussions of literature, art, and current affairs, and established a writing workshop. They also shared personal stories about their predicament as homeless or formerly homeless individuals.
The scenes themselves were composed after these discussions, using sketches, Polaroids, and even three-dimensional models, with the "staging" of the scenes worked out in rehearsals. Throughout the lengthy development process, Michalek made changes and adjustments, responding to comments from the participants.
The collaborative dynamic of the project, in both its conceptual development and execution, ensures that 14 Stations remains, in large part, not only the work of an individual photographer but the expression of a group. Indeed, the experience of the participants, working together on a complicated endeavor, produced a heightened sense of responsibility for one another.
A number of the volunteers have since been able to reach out to a world of wider possibilities and ultimately leave their homeless condition for a more stable existence.

Propagation of terahertz waves in hollow metallic waveguides depends on the waveguide mode. Near-field scanning probe terahertz microscopy is applied to identify the mode structure and composition in dielectric-lined hollow metallic waveguides. Spatial profiles, relative amplitudes, and group velocities of three main waveguide modes are experimentally measured and matched to the HE11, HE12, and TE11 modes. The combination of near-field microscopy with terahertz time-resolved spectroscopy opens the possibility of waveguide mode characterization in the terahertz band.

Colours used:
Nails Inc Victoria & Albert
Models Own Snowflakes
Colours used:
I wanted to try a more summery theme this week so went with a yellow/orange gradient. After trying gradients a few times, I've realised that I'm not very good at them, so I used my Nubar Polka Dot to draw attention away from how rubbish the actual gradient was! The colours I used were Mellow Yellow from 17 as the base, Showgirl by Ciaté for the middle bit and then Models Own Fluro Orange (which I picked up recently from Littlewoods) on the tips.
I love this nail polish (Disco Mix by Models Own)! It is completely opaque in just two coats and as it's a glitter polish it stays put for ages. The only downside is that it is pretty hard to remove but I definitely think it's worth the effort!
1. Sunny day for my day off.
2. Afternoon tea at The Intercontinental.
3. View from The Shard.
4. Cocktails in Giraffe.
5. Colourful macaroons!
6. Cupcake shopping.
7. Models Own Disco Mix.
8, 9 & 10. Linlithgow near Edinburgh.
11. Chocolate pasta!
12. Family meal at Center Parcs.
13. Reading in the sun.
14. Bananagrams!
15. Chalk art by my sister.
Sun cream – This year I'm trying the Piz Buin sun cream which can be applied to wet skin so will be good for using after a swim. I've also got the Oriflame Sun Zone Lotion for Face and Body which I plan to use on my face as it's not quite as oily as the Piz Buin!
Insect repellent – I usually get horribly bitten on holiday (unless I am with my blonde sister – all the bugs love her!) so always smother myself with insect repellent. I used Ultrathon last year when I was in Kos and barely got any bites so have decided to use the same brand this year. I hope it works as well!
Deodorant – Everyone needs a good deodorant, especially when it's hot and sunny. I am taking the Sure Maximum Protection with me which is twice as strong as most deodorants and doesn't smell too strong.
UV protection for hair – My hair does not like hot weather! The sun dries it out completely and makes it even more frizzy than usual. I am really excited to use the Tints of Nature's Seal and Shine Leave-In Conditioner which smells amazing and as well as being a conditioner also has UV and chlorine protection.
Foot file – To keep my feet looking smooth I am taking an S-Ped foot file. It's a much better shape than other foot files so is easier to use.
Nail varnish – As you know I am addicted to nail polish. I tend to use a pale colour on holiday so that it's not too obvious when it chips. This year I'm taking Models Own Indian Ocean which I got from Littlewoods. It's a gorgeous colour and perfect for summer!
Shower gel – I love the new range of Radox shower gels! Coconut Kiss is my favourite scent but Berry Burst and Cherry Blast are lovely too.
Pink nail polish doesn't usually suit my skin tone but I actually really like Models Own Pink Blush. I think it's because it's not a red toned as other pink polishes. I topped Pink Blush with Models Own Juicy Jules which is similar to the Nubar Hologram Glitter I have but the glitter particles are more obvious which I really like. I wasn't sure about the combination at first – it looked a bit too girly with all the pink and the glitter but it ended up really growing on me I didn't want to take it off! I got these polishes from the Models Own range at Littlewoods – they seem to have stopped selling the exact shades but they still have other pretty colours. There are actually lots of great nail products on Littlewoods.com, I am really tempted by these nail art pens!
I have two pieces of news for you…. First, I have discovered TK Maxx and their amazing nail polish section. I managed to pick up three Models Own polishes for just £5.99!! So cheap! They also have Leighton Denny and Nails Inc amoung others so I can definitely see a return trip coming on soon. Second piece of news, I managed to slice through my thumb nail the other day while making dinner. It hurt so much and now my poor nail is going to take ages to grow back so don't be surprised if my thumb is missing from photos for the foreseeable future! Anyway, onto this weeks nails….I'm wearing one of my new purchased from TK Maxx, Models Own True Blue. It's not my favourite polish – I think it looked a bit dull on my nails. It also wore on the tips really quickly. This photo was taken the morning after I applied it and you can already see tip wear so all in all I was a bit disappointed with this one.

When It Breaks --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOKYO DENMARK SWEDEN Formed in late 2011 and heavily influenced by a shared interest in all things dance/pop/electronic/Macbook Pro, TOKYO DENMARK SWEDEN are rising fast from newcomers to indie dance favourites. With their debut single "Little Quarters" attracting blogger love both at home and overseas and airplay on Triple J and community tastemakers FBi, Triple R and 4ZZZ, TOKYO DENMARK SWEDEN are more than ready for the rest of 2012. TOKYO DENMARK SWEDEN have just released their self titled debut EP, which features "Little Quarters" and their recent single "Lights Off" together with "When It Breaks", "Paper Sails" and "Comets", all of which add up to a strong snapshot of the band. Their atmospheric electronic sound highlighted by a deft mix of majestic synth lines, soaring vocals and stinging guitar lines has been winning over audiences throughout the year. Their depth of sound and refreshing energy have shaped their live sets and earnt them supports with the likes of Parachute Youth, RÜFÜS and Pluto Jonze. The EP and their growing live presence confirms TOKYO DENMARK SWEDEN as one of Australia's most exciting up and coming bands. They continue the cause taking part in the "When It Breaks tour" which kicks off late November and travels to the main cities on the East Coast. Dave Ruby Howe, music blogger (hyperbole.tv) and Triple J's assistant music director of Australian music recently wrote in the Canberra Times; "Sydney three-piece Tokyo Denmark Sweden prove good on their hype with a knack for tight tunes with an attention to atmospheres. New single Lights Off bubbles over with arpeggios and a distant guitar line, while references to such crowd-pleasing acts as Goldfrapp, Metric and Dragonette are apt for the group led by Amy Pes."

Seventh-Ranked Aggies Offense Too Much for Resilient Hoosiers
Sept. 10, 2010
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Despite trailing by three goals at the half, the Indiana Women's Soccer team had No. 7 Texas A&M on their heels for large portions of the game, but it was the potent attack of the Aggies (5-1-0) that handed the Hoosiers a 5-2 loss on Friday night at Armstrong Stadium.
"Our performance tonight, against one of the strongest teams in the country, was one of the best I have seen since I have been here," Indiana head coach Mick Lyon said afterwards. "We competed and we battled and played together very, very well and even at the end when we were down three goals, we still had them on their heels and were making them stop us."
Indiana (3-3-0) got second half goals from Carly Samp, her fourth, and Orianica Velasquez, her second, to trim a 3-0 halftime deficit to 3-2 just seven minutes into the second half. Texas A&M followed with a pair of goals in the next 15 minutes to put the game out of reach.
Much of the first half the teams took turns mounting attacks at each goal and IU keeper Lauren Hollandsworth was up to the task at the start, making five strong saves to keep the game scoreless. But the Aggies found the scoreboard in the 14th and 18th minutes to take a 2-0 lead. Then in the 26th minute a third goal, this one coming just after a free kick, put the Aggies ahead 3-0.
The Hoosiers had a couple of very good looks in the first half, led by a combination of shots by Samp and Velasquez. Samp received a pass and was even with the last defender in front of the keeper and fired a rocked just inside the top of the box that was saved out to the front left of the goal. Velasquez darted towards it and looked to have an easy goal but the keeper was able to dive in front of it and make a second save and keep the Hoosiers off the board.
Coming out of the locker room after halftime, Indiana continued its aggressive play and it resulted in their first goal. Junor Margo McAuley made a deft pass to the top left of the box to Velasquez, who spun and fired a quick shot that caught the TAMU keeper off guard and she made a diving save. The ball bounced right to Samp who chipped it over the keeper for her team-leading fourth goal of the season. For Velasquez, it was her team-best third assist of the year.
Just five minutes later, Leigh Anne Cummings was pulled down near the endline inside the box by the TAMU keeper, drawing a yellow card on the keeper and earning a penalty kick for the Hoosiers. Velasquez stepped up and drilled it to the lower left side of the goal for her third of the year and all of a sudden the lead was just one goal for the Aggies.
"Although we didn't get the result," Lyon said, "we can certainly look at our team and say, without question, we have made huge strides forward in our play over the last two games and that is what we are going to take from this moving forward.
IU had a couple of other free kicks from just outside the top of the box later in the second half and narrowly came up empty. Sophomore Ciersten Burks took the first one and hit the crossbar and was then cleared away by the TAMU defense. Velasquez had another one just minutes later and buzzed it by the right post as she looked for her second goal of the game.
Texas A&M held a 26-13 advantage in shots while Indiana made 13 saves to seven for the Aggies.
Indiana returns to Yeagley Field at Armstrong Stadium for a Sunday matinee against Hofstra. The game will start at 1:00 p.m. and fans can watch the action at IUHoosiers.com as part of the All-Access package (subscription required).

"I believe that training the mind is just as important as training the body, for were the mind goes the body follows, something many of us forget in our pursuit of physical mastery. It is almost impossible to achieve our full potential as martial artists unless we acknowledge the fact that the mind plays a significant role in our over all development. It is the key to all growth and without it we are merely puppets on a string, all physical movement and lacking in the depth and understanding that's absolutely necessary to take us to the higher levels of mastery."

World AIDS Day on December 1 marks ten years since WFP began providing specialised nutritional assistance to people suffering from the HIV virus. Ensuring that patients get the right nutrition and don't have to choose between treatment and food is critical to winning the fight against the disease.
ROME - Ten years ago, while responding to a drought in southern Africa, WFP recognised that hunger was weakening the immune systems of people with the disease and getting in the way of their acces to treatment.
In a region of the world devastated by the AIDS pandemic, WFP launched its first ever programme targeting the nutritional needs of people infected with the virus.
While providing patients with the nutrition they need to fight off the virus, these programmes also make sure that people with HIV don't have to choose between treatment and food.
Today, WFP reaches more than 2.3 million HIV patients in 34 countries with targeted nutritional assistance. Here are three people who show how those programmes save lives.
The Crocodile Man
A crocodile handler in Zimbabwe, Langton Dzeka says his close call wasn't with a reptile. In 2011, he found out that he was infected with the HIV virus and started losing wait. Today, he's on the rebound and back at work with the crocs thanks to a programme that provided him with nutritious food.
The Mother
Learning that she was HIV+ and that her husband had hidden the truth of his condition from her was a double shock for Florence, who lives in Liberia's capital Monrovia. But with support from WFP, she has turned her life around and is hopeful about her family's future.
The Business Woman
For Khumbu Shiba, who has been HIV-positive for three years, WFP's food and nutrition assistance has meant all the difference. Before, she was barely able to care for her family, and felt very weak. Now, she has regained her health and has even started her own business.
2012 World AIDS Day Report
WFP is one of 11 co-sponsors of UNAIDS, a UN Joint Programme that works to achieve universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.

With society and the law against us, we can only protect ourselves
Yesterday I met face-to-face for the first time with a Facebook friend, Rohan, who lives in my city. As both of us are gay we talked about all the LGBTI issues in India.
The topic then turned to sex and blind dates. And that meant we very quickly started talking about the molestation and vulnerability of gays.
Rohan told me he had a very bitter experience and argued gays in India are really unsafe and vulnerable.
Project studies the sexual arousal level of gay men when using the app
The US government has spent nearly half a million dollars on a study of gay hook-up apps such as Grindr.
The National Institutes of Health last year awarded Columbia University $432,000 to interview 60 gay men to determine whether the apps increase risky sexual behavior.
The grant for the project said, 'Given the expediency with which men are able to arrange sexual encounters using these applications, there is cause to question if, when, and how sexual negotiation and serostatus disclosure occurs.
A new app that phone users can download and use to report hate crimes is among several plans that have been announced by City Hall following a rise in homophobic hate offenses

Taiwanese IT heavyweight Asus' micro film for its ZenFone has been watched online millions of times in less than a week
Everyone knows how the competitive the Chinese smartphone market is. To stand out from the crowd, Asus from Taiwan apparently thinks a bit of humor won't hurt.
The 3-minute commercial for the ZenFone first appeared in late April, but it's from last Monday (12 May) that it has really caught on and appeared on just about every major online forum in Greater China.
The ad starts with a 'boy-meets-girl' scene that is way too typical for viewers to expect much out of it.
LGBT app developer launches petition saying she is sure Apple will remove blacklisting of 'bisexual' once they are alerted
The lesbian behind an LGBT history app was shocked to discover Apple's iTunes may reject her hard work if she used the word 'bisexual' in the description.
She says 'bisexual' is not a 'dirty word' and Apple should change their alerts accordingly.
Sarah Prager, from Berwyn Heights, Maryland, USA, launched the Quist smartphone app two weeks ago to tell more people about LGBTQ history.
It was approved by Apple and has already been downloaded by 8,000 on iTunes and 2,000 on Android.
Google Play keeps Setting Captives Free app which aims to 'cure' gay people in 60 days
Google has decided to keep offering a smartphone app which offers 'freedom from the bondage of homosexuality' despite having reviewed it, Gay Star News can reveal.
Created by the Christian group Setting Captives Free, the app attempts to 'cure' people of being gay in 60 days.
Gaydar responds to strong competition in gay men's smartphone dating market with release of new service and promises changes to Gaydar Girls soon
International gay dating brand Gaydar is fighting back against its competitors today (3 May) with the launch of its new mobile web service.
Gaydar has long held a market-leading position for its desktop-based men's dating site but has faced stiff competition from location-based dating apps like Grindr in recent years.
Serial felon accused of going on violent crime spree, meeting men off GROWLr and SCRUFF apps, holding them at gun point, and taking their property
A gunman is accused of targeting 'bears' he met on gay dating apps for theft and rape.

The most serious allegation against Laverne Lee Maxwell, aged 32, dates from 7 April.
SAGA creator says he never thought Apple or Comixology was homophobic, but 'weirdly inconsistent' over policy
Smartphone application Comixology has admitted to banning a comic containing images of gay sex as they were confused over Apple's policies.
The app, which many iPhone and iPad users use to read their favorite comic books, admitted responsibility yesterday (10 April).
SAGA #12, created by Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples, showed a character named Prince Robot IV with a TV screen for a head showing two small images of gay pornography in its opening pages.

GSN heads to Taibach, South Wales to learn about acting icon Richard Burton and to find out about his gay links
'Famous Welsh actor that was married to Elizabeth Taylor' was about the extent of my knowledge about Richard Burton.
But it had just been announced he was being given a star on the Hollywood walk of fame, and I was in South Wales near the town where he was born, so it seemed like a good opportunity to learn a bit more about this icon of stage and screen.
